Chapter 69: The Contest between the Adulterous Concubine and the Cheap Servant

On the third pole of the sun, in the luxurious main hall of Yongning Palace, there are delicacies, golden cups and golden bowls, which are full of tables.

When the imperial concubine Wan Yuyao returned to the palace from Koi Lake, she was served by the palace people to remove the heavy chicken blood stone noodles between the sideburns, and put on simple but gorgeous palace clothes.

As soon as the door curtain was lifted, the palace maid in the pink jacket and yellow shirt came in from outside, holding a steaming wing porridge in her hand, her charming face with a shallow smile, and her figure was enchanting as if she was in autumn.

Even though the bruises on the swollen little face that were covered with blue and red have not subsided, their mental outlook is already like two people compared to the bitter crying in the pavilion of the water pavilion at the previous moment.

She is Xi'er, her real body, that is, Tu Duxue, who was sent into the palace by Minglan in place of her identity after changing faces with Gu Yunxi.

Holding a lacquered red tray and walking to a table, Tu Duxue said in a light voice:

"Qi Yu Niangniang, the last wing porridge has just come out of the pot, and the slave has dried the temperature to the best, please use it."

Bowing humbly, the girl gently placed the enamel white jade bowl in Wan Yuyao's hand, and behaved generously.

Lihu immediately stepped forward and tried it with a silver hairpin, but there was nothing unusual before returning to the original place.

Wan Yuyao's tired eyes lowered and looked into the bowl, and saw a pool of glutinous white fragrant soup stirring green and red, and she could smell the sweetness of the seafood when she lifted her nose, and then her eyes lit up.

The elegant bowl was tasted, and the woman raised her eyebrows and admired:

"Well, it's fresh and refreshing, and the fruit is beautiful. Xi'er, your craftsmanship is good. ”

The ethereal eyes were as light as filaments, and the girl with a flat and bearded face squinted at her beautiful face, and her eyes narrowed slightly, as if she was faintly smiling.

Immediately put down the bowl, Wan Yuyao pulled the girl's arm, moved her five fingers, and rolled up the sleeves of her pink piping edge.

Tu Duxue's eyebrows drooped slightly, and she didn't move at all, without the slightest resistance.

Looking at the dense red dots on a delicate forearm, the woman's eyes were open, and she seemed to smile at the girl's obedient face.

"Hey, those eunuchs have always had black hands, and when they see this scarred body, this palace will also know that it is difficult for you. Lihu, go and get the Jinchuang safflower oil from the main palace. ”

Tu Duxue was stunned, and the next moment she knelt on her knees, bowing her eyebrows and bowing her head:

"Niangniang's compassion is grateful, but Xi'er begs Niangniang to take back her life for the sake of the overall situation."

The girl has followed Gu Di for many years, and in order to send Gu Yunxi into the palace smoothly, she accepted Gu Di's arrangement without hesitation, and exchanged faces and identities with Gu Yunxi.

The Hidden Mountain was defeated, and Dongchang annihilated the power of Gu Di in the imperial tomb in one fell swoop. In order to take revenge and seize the map again, Tu Duxue made a plan to personally enter the palace in the name of Gu Yunxi, waiting for the opportunity to move.

This was the initial stage of her cooperation with Wan Yuyao, and with her intuition, Tu Duxue understood that although Wan Yuyao was using her, she would not fully believe her.

Fang just said that the medicine was just a temptation, and the imperial concubine just wanted to see if the girl who was named "Xi'er" by herself was sincere in coming for revenge, and whether she had the ability and perseverance to help her get rid of the thorn in the side of the harem.

However, Tu Duxue's next performance made Wan Yuyao feel very satisfied, and the heartstrings that were tense at all times were a little relaxed at this moment.

Wan Yuyao pushed the boat back to Lihu, her eyes were leisurely facing it, and then she turned her head, the three points of cold smile on the rose lips were cold, and she silently threw herself at the girl, and her hand fell on the girl's arm, and she personally helped the person up.

The girl's expression was not half panicked, and her calm demeanor seemed to put her identity outside the people of Yongning Palace, and she deserved to be treated so politely by the lord of the first palace.

"This palace really feels sorry for you, and sincerely gives medicine to heal you, how can you refuse this palace?"

Tu Duxue's refined eyelashes were slightly raised, and the corners of her pink mouth outlined a cold arc:

"Niangniang, Xi'er and Niangniang worked together to deceive Concubine Yu, I believe that she will make a move in the future. The things in Niangniang's palace have always been the best, and Jinchuang red oil is also a panacea. If Xi'er smears at this time, I am afraid that it will fall short, and I can't hide it from them when the injury is good. ”

Wan Yuyao's eyebrows burned straight at the girl, and the corners of her lips were curled in a moment, pulling out satisfied laugh lines.

Holding a jade chopstick, the woman nodded:

"Yes, in the end, you are thoughtful, which shows that you can be entrusted with important tasks."

Tu Duxue lowered her eyebrows and folded her hands, and her light voice revealed her determination to fist:

"The slave and maid Xie Niangniang praised, and the slave and maid entered the palace as a guilty body and was taken in by the mother, only to avenge the family teacher. As long as the revenge is avenged, Xi'er will let her mother fall, and there will be no complaints if she wants to kill or chop! ”

Wan Yuyao's red and glamorous lips moved, and her green eyeliner flew:

"Don't worry, you are so careless and can do things, how can this palace be willing to let you die? When you get rid of the troubles in your heart for this palace, you will stay by your side and serve. ”

"Slave Shane."

After the girl finished speaking, her eyelashes drooped slightly, and a treacherous glow quietly flashed under Qingming's eyes.

Tu Duxue couldn't tell when she had been attached to Gu Di. For him, she was willing to bear the risk of changing her face and the pain of the postoperative cone.

Later, she learned that Gu Di fell in love with the real owner of her face, "Gu Yunxi". And she, Tu Duxue, is just a living vessel, specializing in providing nourishment with her own essence and blood, in order to keep her face fresh.

Tu Duxue knew that as long as Gu Yunxi was alive one day, Gu Di would make a comeback after finding the secret hidden in Kunhuang Island, and perhaps, he would find a way to change Gu Yunxi's original face again.

What was I at that time?

Tu Duxue loved Gu Di deeply, because she saw Gu Yunxi's delicate beauty, after getting her face, she frantically wanted to take this face for herself forever. She wanted to try to stand up to Gu Yunxi's face and try to get Gu Di's favor.

Just before being sent to the palace gate, Tu Duxue was repeatedly interrogated by Minglan.

Considering the future plan, in the face of Minglan's question, she skillfully avoided the relationship between Gu Di and Leng Qingtang between her words, and only lightly explained that in order to find the map of Kunhuang Island, Gu Di sent someone to kidnap Gu Yunxi a year and a half ago, and sent him to the palace for his changed face, but then she was deceived by Gu Yunxi.

In order to successfully get rid of Gu Yunxi, Tu Duxue also deliberately revealed the information that Gu Yunxi was the daughter of the late Zheng Guogong to Minglan.

Right now, in the Yongning Palace, Wan Yuyao drank half a bowl of wing porridge, and then praised it:

"To say that Xi'er is also a person with a heart, just to imitate Gu Yunxi, a year and a half ago, he went to all directions to worship famous teachers day and night to learn art, this perseverance really moved the palace."

After hearing this, the girl's lips curved slightly, and a shallow smile was pouted at the corner of her mouth, which meant something unclear:

"The slave and maid were respected and exchanged faces with Gu Yunxi, and after the identity was exchanged, there was a feeling of anxiety in her heart. I think that Gu Yunxi's mother is the former head of the palace dining room, and her skills should be first-class. Her daughter should have some talent, and I can't fix it the day after tomorrow......"

"What did you say?!"

Wan Yuyao's body froze on the circle chair, her eyes suddenly flared wide, her expression froze, and she raised her hand violently to interrupt Tu Duxue's aggressive words:

"You just said...... Who is Gu Yunxi's mother-in-law? ”

On the side, the face of the manager Lihu was also shocked, and he stared at the girl intently, listening carefully to her continue.

Twelve years ago, Wan Yuyao was still the eldest lady in the boudoir, but more than once she heard the Lord of God and Mrs. Decree talk about the past of Zheng Guogong and his successor Pei, so at this moment, she knows Pei's background well.

The spies sent to Zheng Ran by the Long Live Lord betrayed the saint, and his end was only death without a corpse.

The girl in front of her hooked her lips, her delicate face pressed into an inch of darkness, and her half-concealed and half-clear expression was unclear:

"The slave and maid explained clearly to the Ming Governor early in the morning, could it be that the Lord Governor forgot to show it to the Niangniang?"

……

West Factoryβ€”β€”

The white and tender two fingers of his right hand pinched the melon seeds one by one, and Minglan was thinking about something while feeding the macaw on the cage. was too careless, and the action of pinching the melon kernel and sending it finally stopped halfway.

The colorful bird quickly finished a whole grain, tilted its head and stared at the owner, seeing that the good thing between the two fingers was hanging in the air and refused to stretch it out, the little guy couldn't wait any longer, stretched out the flesh-red melon from his neck, and fluttered twice with a pair of wings.

Its owner still looks like a statue, and the unshakable figure makes the bird unable to wait any longer, opening its mouth and stretching its neck to grab the melon seeds between its fingers.

Leng Buding's fingers hurt, Minglan screamed and relieved, and then his mutilated left hand shook away, and the melon seeds in his palm fell to the ground.

An Hong came up, holding the white coat of the Overseer in his hand, his expression was distressed, and he said meticulously:

"Oh my Overseer, are you alright, the minion blows it to you."

Minglan subconsciously looked down at the five fingers, and saw that the blood red on the thumb of his right hand was very eye-catching, although the skin was not broken, the aggressive color was enough for Minglan to be shocking for a moment.

Minglan was furious, shook his broken left hand, and slapped the parrot on the cage fiercely.

"The little beast is really not familiar with feeding, and he dares to cut this governor!"

The birds frantically stirred their wings and struggled to hover, "quack" a few hisses, and the green feathers fell all over the ground.

Seeing this, An Hong said kind words and comforted:

"Oh, Lord, why do you have to be like a hairy brute. Come, the slave will give you a good rub. ”

Coaxed Minglan to sit down, An Hong served tea and asked tentatively:

"Overseer, what are you doing so far?"

Minglan's thin eyebrows rose suddenly, and his eyes were empty:

"Ben Du thinks, how much should I believe Tu Duxue's words?"

An Hong's eyes narrowed and asked:

"You mean ......?"

"According to her confession, Gu Yunxi's life experience coincides with Bendu's speculation two years ago, Gu Yunxi is indeed Zheng Ran's daughter."

"In this way, she is the daughter of the criminal minister, and Leng Qingtang took in the daughter of the criminal minister, then he is also guilty!"

An Hong's shrill voice trembled with excitement, a hint of sinister smile, and suddenly appeared on a delicate face.

Minglan's expression was still solemn, he got up and walked around the room twice, and his eyes were as dark as mist, a little hazy and distorted:

"If the Gu Di who was exterminated by Dongchang is the Nine Emperor Sons of the First Emperor and Concubine Lan who were born in Xiyi, it is reasonable to kidnap Gu Yunxi a year ago, after all, that little wild cat is the orphan of his life-saving benefactor.

But why was he so ruthless to let him get into danger, change his face and send it to the palace after twists and turns?

Also, how much does Gu Yunxi know about his identity? Leng Qingtang appeared to welcome the emperor but betrayed in secret, and privately raised the daughter of a criminal minister in the tribute courtyard, why? Is it just because her mother-in-law was her best friend back then? ”

An Hong meditated and thought about it, only to feel that his brain hurt, his fingers rubbed his temples, and his face was bitter:

"Does the Governor think that reason is valid? Leng Qingtang did not even let go of his master Bian Duzhu back then, just for Pei Ruyi, he could risk himself? ”

Minglan was suddenly silenced, his face sank, his eyes were deep and far, his eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, and he whispered to himself:

"If you have the opportunity, you can change the faces of Gu Yunxi and Tu Duxue back...... It couldn't be better......"
