Yongning Palace.

In the center of the main hall sits the lord of a palace, the imperial concubine Wan Yuyao, and there are more than a dozen palace maids and chamberlains on both sides, all of whom are colorless and indifferent, and there is no one in their eyes.

Today, Wan Yuyao is wearing a begonia-colored flowing cloud cross-collar dress, covered with an amber brocade gown, with magnificent jewels on her head, and a three-headed phoenix and emerald tassel swaying into the bun, which is shining, very eye-catching.

Just now, the awe-inspiring shout came from the mouth of this noble and beautiful woman.

Turning her head slowly, Gu Yunyao met her eyes with the woman with bright makeup on the main seat.

In an instant, like flint lightning, two pairs of eyes as bright as torches and cold as knives looked at each other in silence, and launched a silent but extremely fierce confrontation.

The atmosphere became strange and cold again, as cold and terrifying as the underworld, running through the limbs and bones of everyone present.

Song Qin was secretly frightened, her heart fluctuated, and she only kept an eye on her master, beware of someone who would attack at any time.

At a moment, Gu Yunyao took a few steps forward, lowered her chin and lowered her eyes, bowed slightly to the lord, and her voice was a little cold:

"The concubine sees the imperial concubine, and she came late at the summons of the mother, and she hopes that the mother will forgive her sins."

Wan Yuyao moved on the circle chair, pulled her lips with a smile, and said:

"Get up, you don't have to bow if you're pregnant. Come, sit. ”

"Thank you, mother."

Gu Yunyao didn't shirk either, and sat down when the waiter brought the rose chair, with a very cold expression.

Turning her eyes to look at the girl lying on the ground, Gu Yunyao asked straight to the point:

"May I ask Niangniang, what is the reason for this?"

Wan Yuyao laughed and trembled:

"Oh, this Lihu is too, why didn't you bring the words for the palace?"

The person in charge on the side clasped his hands, perfunctorily owed his figure, and said lightly:

"Mother forgiveness."

Wan Yuyao's gaze was always on Gu Yunyao's angry and delicate face, and she explained with a smile:

"Sister, don't misunderstand, the girl on the ground is a new servant here, she does things secretly and treacherously on weekdays, not to mention, in order to get out of the palace I don't know where to get the evil recipe, I ate two herbs that are anti-and choke out of a poisonous rash.

At first, the uninformed things in the ear room really thought that she was suffering from smallpox, but fortunately, the upbringing grandmother of the palace saw through her trick and dragged people into the violent room and ate the whip, but I didn't think that this hoof was framed again, and you gave her the package of medicine, so the palace thought ......"

"It is indeed a concubine!"

Gu Yunyao was caught off guard and interrupted the woman opposite who was vibrating and speechful, and stood up awe-inspiringly, her fists clenched in her sleeves, and her cold eyes were sharp.

On one side, the scarred girl moved her body, stood up strongly, raised her head tremblingly and cried:

"Sister, I didn't mean to betray you, I'm afraid, the torture instruments in the violent room are so terrible, woo...... It hurts so much to me......"

Looking at Gu Yunyao's facial features twitching in Tu Duxue's hoarse cry, and turning up her tears little by little, the femme fatale's eyes were narrow, and she was proud in her heart, but she pretended to be confused on her face:

"Sister Yu, you, what do you mean?"

"What does the concubine mean, don't you know? I don't know, why do you act in the koi pond pavilion? ”

With a deep voice, Gu Yunyao's face was red, and tears came out of her eyes.

Wan Yuyao's delicate fingers ran over her sideburns, and her eyebrows were cold.

She didn't expect Gu Yunyao's temperament to be so strong, but this saved too much trouble.

Youyou got up, and the woman approached step by step on the soft blanket.

Song Qin's heart trembled slightly, and she came up to protect the master, for fear that Wan Yuyao would be angry and hurt her master at any time.

Wan Yuyao looked at Gu Yunyao in a condescending posture for a moment, and walked sideways around the rose chair:

"This palace knows that Concubine Yu, you know this cheap maid."

Gu Yunyao sneered, not squinting:

"This woman is on duty in Yongning Palace, and Niangniang should have seen her palace registration, and she should know that she has the same surname as this palace and the difference between her maiden name is only one word, and it is not difficult to guess her relationship with her concubine."

Wan Yuyao nodded, calmly:

"So, she didn't frame you on purpose."

"Yes, the idea is from the concubine, and the medicine is from the concubine!"

"Sister, I'm sorry for you...... I don't want to betray you, I really don't want to ......"

The girl on the ground cried loudly again, and her words were like sharp cuts piercing her heart, piercing Gu Yunyao's heart to a thousand holes.

Gu Yunyao's lips were half open, and she took a deep breath and exhaled every breath, and she felt that the pain in her chest was indescribable. The moment he closed his eyes, two lines of tears rolled down.

As soon as she opened her eyes again, Gu Yunyao's wet red nose moved, her tearful eyes were scarlet and quenched with fierce flames, and she resolutely shouted to the girl:

"Yunxi, get up, stand up! My sister will take you away, no matter what, for you, my sister is willing to give her all. ”

The girl obediently did so, gritted her teeth several times, and finally fell to the ground due to exhaustion.

Wan Yuyao clapped her hands and applauded:

"Hehehe, the sisterhood is really touching this palace, it seems that Sister Yu has taken a fancy to this maid and is going to poach people from my Yongning Palace?"

Gu Yunyao stood up faintly, and her contemptuous gaze looked at the proud woman:

"Niangniang knows that Yunxi is the righteous sister of the palace, why bother to pretend again? The concubine came to ask the mother for her this time, what are the conditions, you put it forward. ”

"Happy, this palace likes a woman with a true temperament like my sister. You take Xi'er and retreat first. ”

The palace people should retreat outside the hall one after another, and Lihu walked last, commanding the inner attendant to carry the injured Tu Duxue away.

Tu Duxue struggled, and her frightened cry almost tore her throat:

"Sister, save me! I don't want to go with them, save me, sister! ”

"Yunxi, you let her go!"

Gu Yunyao was heartbroken, and as soon as she took a step to chase after her, Wan Yuyao grabbed her arm, and a cruel smile was on the corner of her mouth:

"What's the hurry, she can't die. Sister Yu, why don't you ask your people to quit too, you and I sit down and talk calmly. ”

……

Zhao An hurriedly left the palace with a chamberlain, ran all the way to rest, and when they arrived at the East Factory, the two of them were out of breath.

The gatekeeper of the East Factory was a half-familiar face with Zhao Gonggong, and after listening to his explanation, he hurriedly led him straight to the South Courtyard.

Leng Qingtang was talking to Gu Yunxi about Lu Qiange's entry into the palace in the house.

That night, Gu Yunxi sent South China Ji Yan back to the palace, and met him and his master Wenren Junzheng, and Gu Yunxi told the overseer these things without reservation.

Obviously, the pair of masters and apprentices didn't know that the Kunhuang Island map had not yet been dedicated to the emperor, so they deliberately ventured into the palace just to win the map. The situation is changing, and both the master of ceremonies and the East Factory must be extra careful of other enemies lurking in the shadows.

On the other hand, two days ago, he received the news that Sun Jieyu's handwritten letter had been sent to the Governor of Liangguang, and Sun Min immediately stated that the Governor's Office would fully cooperate with Dongchang and secretly launch an all-out investigation of Wanjia's private soldiers.

Leng Qingtang and Gu Yunxi both understood that only by finding out the details of the extreme strength of the private troops stationed in southern Xinjiang could the Dongchang side have the corresponding evidence to bring down the Wan clan, and at that time, they could also send troops for the imperial court to clear southern Xinjiang and formulate a perfect battle plan in advance.

Time is of the essence, and there is no room for error in this deployment.

Then, the two of them discussed the masked man who appeared at the Yangfangkou Dharma Field and was rescued by his accomplices after being wounded.

That person was mysterious and unpredictable, like a ghost, and he successfully escaped from under the cloth net of Dongchang after several fights, and even Gu Yunxi got along with him for a year, and he didn't know his details or even his name.

They always believed that the man had not gone far, and that perhaps he was lurking in some little-known corner at the moment, spying on everything in the East Factory and the Imperial Palace.

There is one thing that Leng Qingtang has not confessed to Gu Yunxi so far, that is, the moment he really saw the true face of the mask man that day, he knew that in this world, he actually had a twin brother, and by accident caused a situation of cannibalism.

Who would have imagined that more than 20 brothers who had never met before would end up with the same root when they met several times. If he sees him again, he doesn't know what the situation will be.

The sky was getting dark a little bit, and Gu Yunxi wanted to light the lamp but was stopped by Leng Qingtang.

He just wanted to be in the dark and savor the darkness.

After many years of planning and fighting, for the first time I felt that I was so sinful that I could turn against my own siblings.

Maybe fate is already predestined, some things are destined to be unchangeable, and even if you struggle, it is useless.

He straightened his back in a daze, feeling that his shoulders were extremely heavy, and the pressure on them was like an invisible mountain, and it was a burden that he could not get rid of.

The sound of footsteps interrupted the wandering thoughts of the ghostly spirit, and at the moment Leng Qingtang gathered his mind, he heard someone outside the house:

"Overseer, someone from Jingyang Palace has arrived."

——

The palace and the main hall of Yongning Palace are closed, and the two women in the palace are awe-inspiring opposites.

Wan Yuyao's chin was slightly raised, her expression was like a cold snow, her eyes were staring at Gu Yunyao, who was half a head shorter than herself, and there was a warm sneer on the corner of her mouth:

"Sister Yu and Xi'er are both the righteous daughters of the former head of the Gongyuan, and they are more affectionate than sisters, and the palace does not want to be loved. After Xi'er's injury is healed, she can be transferred to her sister's Jingyang Palace. However, the so-called 'exchange of courtesies, equivalent exchange', there is one less person in the palace, and my sister should also take out one person. ”

Gu Yunyao's long eyelashes trembled, and her expression was stunned, she never thought that the imperial concubine, who had always been ruthless, would be so generous this time.

It couldn't be simpler for the palace maid to change the palace maid, it was nothing more than the palace maid who was exchanged from Jingyang Palace had to suffer some hardships in Yongning Palace. But for the sake of Yunxi and her sister, Gu Yunyao can't care about anything else at the moment:

"Okay, the concubine will go back immediately, and the most capable maid in the palace will be selected and sent over."

Yuanshan Dai's eyebrows were raised coldly and arrogantly, Wan Yuyao's shrewd eyes locked on the woman with a solemn and cold complexion, and a little essence burst out from her eyes:

"Hehehe, is my sister joking? The palace maid for the palace maid, where did such a cheap thing come from? Not to mention Xi'er's good cooking skills, other work is stupid and hand-made, and the delicacies are always in line with the appetite of the palace, just talking about her and Sister Yu's love than blood relatives, how can such a value be worthy of a mere palace maid? ”

"You ......"

Gu Yunyao's delicate body trembled, and she was immediately dumbfounded, and her heart seemed to be pinched by something.

It turned out that Wan Yuyao didn't want to let Yunxi go easily, and the "one person for one person" in her mouth hid another mystery.

Looking at each other proudly, smiling proudly is beautiful, but it is like a quenched mandala flower, which is fatal.

His eyes widened, and a flash of surprise flashed.

Gu Yunyao covered her bulging abdomen with her hands, trembling and taking a step back, her heart still being crushed by a heavy stone. The lip flap suddenly became cold and lost blood, and she stammered and asked:

"You, you...... Want the royal son in the belly of the concubine? ”

Wan Yuyao laughed out loud in an instant, swaggered back to her senses and took two steps, leisurely waving her gorgeous brocade wide sleeves.

"Sister Yu is really smart, I believe that at the Putian Banquet, you and Leng Qingtang entered the treasure and hall one after another, and you already know the initiator of the matter of pointing out that you are pregnant with a demon fetus. Last time, you were lucky to escape, this time the palace pinched your seven inches first, since you want your sister, it is better to give up your emperor. ”

Gu Yunyao rolled her eyebrows angrily and choked up:

"Y-What do you want!"

Twisting her soft waist, Wan Yuyao walked to the corner table with fine steps, picked up a paper bag on it, and walked back to Gu Yunyao.

"You give Xi'er a pack of medicine, and this palace will also give you a pack in return. Take it well, authentic Oriental goods, colorless and odorless, can help you drop the fetus within an hour. When you go back, you put it in soup, and as for the fetus falling, you are not allowed to mention it to anyone until your sister goes to your palace for a day, and the palace will arrange a scapegoat for you. If you leak the slightest rumor during this period, wait to collect your sister's body. ”

Gu Yunyao's face was pale, and her half-opened dry lips trembled. When he lowered his head in a daze, a tear smashed onto the paper bag. Beautiful eyes are narrow, and hatred is sensen:

"Niangniang, if you persecute your concubines and do such a hurtful thing as mutilating the emperor's heir, are you not afraid of retribution? If the concubine tells the emperor about this, or tells the admiral of Dongchang, they will never let you go! ”

Wan Yuyao laughed wildly on her back again, and her water sleeves fluttered:

"Gu Yunyao, this palace already knew that you were climbing the line of the Admiral of Dongchang. To tell you the truth, maybe Leng Qingtang could protect you and Gu Yunxi's little slut before, but now he may not be able to protect you two sisters. You may not know Gu Yunxi's life experience, that is the most powerful weapon that this palace can hold him hostage Leng Qingtang! ”

Gu Yunyao's face was very bad when she heard this, and her eyes suddenly turned stunned, and her face turned pale:

"What do you say? ...... of the clouds and tides Life? ”
