In the afternoon, Empress Ji returned to Yanfu Palace.

Before entering the palace gate, before stepping down from the phoenix, the palace maid who stayed behind came up and said while supporting her, "Niangniang, Yun Meiren came before noon, saying that on the way back from Mianfu Palace, the palace maid Xinqing suddenly disappeared, she searched around the neighborhood and did not find it, and did not dare to go back to Huzhu Palace, so come to us and wait for you to decide." ”

Empress Ji frowned, "Suddenly disappeared?" What's going on? ”

"It was said that the master and servant walked well one after the other, and when they were about to arrive at Huzhu Palace, she remembered that she had something to explain to Xinqing, but when she turned around, there was no one!" The palace maid said, "The maid has already sent someone to check, Wei Ronghua, Yun Meiren, and several palace people have seen that Yun Meiren did return to Huzhu Palace with Xinqing before." The palace people guarding the door of Huzhu Palace also said that after the master and servant of Yunmei went out this morning, they never went back. ”

He also said, "The part where Xinqing disappeared is a bit deserted. The left near the palace is in disrepair, and no one lives in it for a while. ”

So, in other words, the so-called disappearance of the palace maid is just a one-sided statement of Yun Fenghuang?

Empress Ji raised her eyebrows and said, "The palace will go to change clothes first, and you will let people wait in the side hall." ”

The housekeeper bowed her head, "Yes." ”

A moment later, in the side hall, Empress Ji looked at Yun Fenghuan, who was crying a handful of snot and tears, and said quietly, "This is really strange!" So a big living person, deep palace inside, can he still fly? How can you say that if you don't see it, you're gone? ”

"The concubine doesn't know either!" Yun Fenghuang whimpered, "The concubine was still explaining things to Xinqing at that time, but when she didn't answer, she was surprised, and when she looked back, there was no one at all, and she thought that something happened to her and she didn't keep up, so she went back along the same road to find the gate of Tongxia Palace, and she didn't see any clues!" The concubines are scared to death! ”

After all, "The concubine and Xinqing are both weak women, Xinqing is a palace maid, and she often has to do things on weekdays, and her strength must be above the concubine." She couldn't help but disappear when she said she couldn't see it...... Concubinage...... If this is for the concubine, where is the concubine's life? Niangniang, the concubine really doesn't dare to go back to Huzhu Palace now! ”

"No one has been found, but you know something is wrong?" Empress Ji didn't bother to remind this delicate flower who thought she was weaker than Xinqing, and in the morning she was agile when she pulled the beauty to block the tea and pushed Wei Ronghua to fall, she wanted to laugh or not, "Maybe the palace maid is lazy, where to hide and relax?" There are many servants in the palace, and there are always a few who steal and cheat. ”

Yun Fenghuang hurriedly said, "Niangniang, there are many minions, and it is indeed inevitable that there will be those who are indiscriminate." But the minions are not all brainless. Isn't such a blatant dereliction of duty asking for hardship? Especially the concubine thought that she was not bad for the people below, and she was just taking Xinqing back to her residence at that time, and she was not being treated. Even if Xinqing wants to be lazy, why don't you go back to Xingxuan and then look for an opportunity to slip away, and leave without saying a word on the road, isn't this deliberately making things bigger? What good can this do for her as a palace maid? ”

Making things bigger?

Empress Ji frowned slightly when she heard this, and her mind turned, before she said, "You keep saying that you don't dare to go back to Huzhu Palace, don't you suspect that this matter has something to do with Huzhu Palace?" ”

"I don't know about the concubine." Yun Fenghuang lowered his head, "It's just that Xinqing disappeared on the way back to Huzhu Palace, and the concubine is a little afraid of that road now." ”

"It's just a palace maid." The queen pondered for a moment and said, "Can you compare with your serious palace concubine?" Okay, it's not a big deal, this palace will send someone to investigate this matter. As for you...... It's not a way to miss someone by your side, and this palace will make up for you. ”

It's just convenient for her to stuff herself and stare at the cloud wind fence nearby.

Yun Fenghuan heard the words and hurriedly said, "Niangniang, the concubine is now missing two people around her, Nian Xuan, who accompanied the concubine into the palace, was taken away by His Majesty's people before, and she hasn't returned it to the concubine until now!" ”

"Look at your little family." Empress Ji said lightly, "When you enter the palace, you are Your Majesty's person, Your Majesty wants that Nian Xuan, and it is also the blessing of that servant, you have always been smart, why are you confused now?" ”

Yun Fenghuang suddenly felt a little bad, and sure enough, a palace maid beside the queen interjected with a low smile, "Niangniang, how can Yun Meiren be such a person?" Eighty percent saw that Nian Xuan was taken away by His Majesty until now, and there was no explanation, I felt sorry for Nian Xuan, and I wanted to ask you for help. ”

If you continue to say this, don't you want to turn Nian Xuan into a palace concubine?

"Niangniang, if Your Majesty opens his mouth to leave Nian Xuan, where will the concubine feel distressed? After all, as Niangniang said, it is Nian Xuan's blessing to be able to serve His Majesty. Not thinking about why the queen did this, she hurriedly said, "But...... It was Jiang Lan who took Nian Xuan away that day, and the concubine was worried! ”

Empress Ji frowned and said, "Is it Jiang Lan?" This palace knows, and this palace will tell His Majesty. ”

took a sip of tea, Yun Fenghuang knew that this was serving tea to send off guests, bit his lip, and left unwillingly.

The queen noticed her expression, but she didn't care, and when the people left, Fang asked left and right, "What do you say about Xinqing?" ”

"It's unlikely that Concubine Yue did it." The palace maid who spoke before said, "If it is Concubine Yue, she will definitely prefer to attack this cloud beauty." ”

"But Yun Meiren is a serious palace concubine, not a slave who can compare." Another palace maid retorted, "If a palace maid is missing, she will disappear, even if it is found out that it has anything to do with Concubine Yue, Empress Dowager Yuan can be vague and understated." And Concubine Yue has always liked to be angry, that Nian Xuan was taken away by His Majesty's people, and she has not returned to Xi Xingxuan, and Bacheng has been poisoned by her. At this time, it is not surprising that Yun Meiren is angry with Xinqing. ”

Empress Ji muttered, "If it wasn't done by Concubine Yue, then who is it?" Could it be that this little Yun thief shouted to catch the thief? ”

"Our people have searched the neighborhood, but they haven't found anything." Someone at the bottom whispered, "Although Yun Meiren is quite agile, she is not delicate in the end, I'm afraid she can't do it, right?" ”

As for having someone else to help......

Empress Ji's face became serious, "The regent palace invited Mr. Lingshan to enlighten the second son, and the palace maid disappeared inexplicably, is this just in time, or did someone do it on purpose?" ”

If it was the former, there would really be no other suspects except Concubine Yue.

After all, although Yun Fenghuan is very capable of pulling hatred, it has only been a few days since he entered the palace? Except for Concubine Yue, who hates her to death, even if the others look unpleasant, they have not even let go of the palace maids close to them; As for whether it is possible that Xinqing has a grudge against herself, the people of this Yanfu Palace have checked it long before the queen returns, and there is no such thing.

From the current point of view, Xinqing's disappearance is still affected by Yun Fenghuang.

The problem is that Concubine Yue has been grounded recently, and even Empress Dowager Yuan sent someone to watch her in the Ning Bi Hall in order to prevent this niece from continuing to be stupid. With Concubine Yue's scheming, Empress Ji didn't think that she could exploit the loopholes under the hands of the people sent by the Empress Dowager Yuan.

The queen felt that someone was deliberately doing this, trying to distract the court at this critical moment.

She was silent for a while, and then asked, "How is Yanlan Palace, Qiongfang Palace, and Baohui Palace doing?" ”

The most suspicious are, of course, the pregnant Concubine Zheng, as well as Mrs. Yaoning and Lu Jieyu, who are close to the Regent's Mansion.

Seeing that she shook her head slightly, indicating that she hadn't noticed any private actions of these three people, the queen lowered her head and thought for a while, and suddenly said, "Fang Cai Minghui said that the prince regent has entered the palace today?" ”

"Niangniang suspects that the Prince Regent did this?" The palace maids glanced at each other, and someone came out to raise doubts, "But the regent prince and the little prince have the same half-brother, and the little prince worships the famous teacher, but I am afraid that the prince will not feel good in his heart, let alone take action for the little prince's apprenticeship?" ”

As for whether the Prince Regent could do this, they did not doubt it.

This is because the Imperial City Division, who is in charge of the two duties of palace guards and spies and supervision, is in the hands of the regent...... This is a little bit handed over to his younger brother before the death of the first emperor Xiaozong, and it is also one of the important reasons why the regent was able to be crowned regent after losing the emperor's younger brother.

"When the prince regent enters the palace, someone from the Imperial City Division will follow him." Empress Ji said, "It doesn't matter whether the prince has this will or not, and he doesn't need to do this kind of thing...... As long as the regent has this mind. ”

She muttered to herself, "But why did you start from Yun Fenghuang's side?" ”

ordered someone, "Check out, the night Yun Meiren was exiled in Xiao Penglai, the regent prince, and the movements of the Imperial City Division!" ”

…… Yun Fenghuang didn't know that the queen was already suspecting her and Gong Xiangxiao, and after she left Yanfu Palace, she went directly to ...... Tongxia Palace.

Then he bumped into Emperor Chunjia at the gate of Tongxia Palace.

Although the two looked at each other and hated each other, under the eyes of everyone, Yun Fenghuang had no choice but to step forward and salute, "Concubine, may Your Majesty be blessed and safe." ”

“…… Flat. Emperor Chunjia is still gentle and elegant, but how Yun Fenghuang listens to it and thinks that what he wants to say is actually "to die".

"Your Majesty, is it still a goose today?" Yun Fenghuang looked at the person behind him and said with a smile, "But Nian Xuan didn't use it well?" In this case, why doesn't Your Majesty return the person to the concubine, lest she stay in the Taichu Palace and be lazy with nothing to do. ”

Emperor Chunjia glanced at her and said, "Yesterday, I went to ask Yuan's mother to say goodbye, Yuan's mother liked the palace maid very much, and stayed in the Chunyu Palace." If the beauty feels distressed, why don't you let Yuan's mother compensate you? ”

Yun Fenghuang smiled and said, "What did Your Majesty say?" The Empress Dowager of Loving Mother looks down on Nian Xuan, that is her blessing, and it is too late for the concubine to be happy. ”

In fact, she guessed this result after she got Nian Xuan's earrings from Ning Bi Palace, before Nian Xuan was taken away by Emperor Chunjia's people, she must have been asked by Concubine Yue to go over to get angry, and then Jiang Lan had an accident, Ning Bidian noticed that something was wrong, and Concubine Yue had no ability to deal with the aftermath, it must be Emperor Chunjia or Empress Dowager Yuan.

If Emperor Chunjia took the matter on himself, the result would be what Queen Ji wanted to do just now, so he simply gave Nian Xuan a position, disgusting Concubine Yue; So it can only be Mrs. Yuan who can top the cylinder.

Judging from the style of Empress Dowager Yuan, she doesn't look like a mean person, at least not like the scene, and even if this empress dowager is merciful, she has to consider that the old master of Yunfeng Huang is not a fuel-efficient lamp...... However, the palace maids who grew up together, Yun Fenghuang felt that it was more reassuring to stay by his side.

is not only for Nian Xuan, but also for Nian Xuan, who has always been around her, and how she understands herself......

Yun Fenghuan turned his mind around, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, is you going to find Sister Shufei, or is you looking for Qingman?" Do you want to avoid concubines? ”
