Yifang gave Zhang Yan a day to pack up her things, and allowed her to take Lixin with her, and the matter of sending them out of the palace was naturally as soon as possible, Yifang agreed that tomorrow night, there would be a carriage to pick them up at the back door of the courtyard.

After arranging everything, Yifang walked out with Zili, and they still passed through the courtyard. But at this time, there were many fewer people in the courtyard, only two women washing clothes under a tree not far away.

One of these two people is dressed as a palace maid, and the other is dressed as a master, but when they get here, they can't tell what the master and slave are. It's just that Yifang saw that the two people were a little familiar, and they seemed to be old friends, so he walked over and took a closer look. The one who soaked his hands in the water and rubbed his muddy clothes with all his might, wasn't it who was Mrs. Luoyan back then?

"Zili, although so many years have passed, do you still want to avenge Hu Bazi?" Yifang suddenly asked.

Although Zili didn't know why she suddenly mentioned this, she still nodded seriously. Although she left the palace with Yifang back then, she has always been worried about this matter in her heart. She knew that she would not be able to deal with the person behind the scenes if she stayed in the palace, so she did not want to waste any more time. But if she has this opportunity now, she still wants to get justice for her brother and Hu Bazi.

"Let's go back in a while, you call Tengling, and after nightfall, let the palace maid next to Mrs. Luoyan know that I will send Empress Zhang out of the palace tomorrow night." Yifang didn't bother them to do their laundry, she had her own more elaborate arrangements.

"Why are we doing this?" Zi Lihu was suspicious, and with Yifang's current identity, he directly executed Mrs. Luoyan, and it was even effortless.

"This Mrs. Luoyan hurt Hu Bazi and your brother, and also harmed Xu Meiren, do you just want her to die and apologize?" Yifang smiled. Obviously, it was just a chuckle, but the shadow of a leaf next to her spilled on her face, which looked a little creepy.

Zili shuddered involuntarily, but Yifang was right, Mrs. Luoyan had done so many bad things, and she was still pretending to be virtuous in front of people, if she just died, it would be too cheap for her.

In the middle of the night, Zili and Tengling hid outside the courtyard, and when they came out with the palace maid, they pretended to be chatting in the dark and told the news loudly. She stopped here and listened for a moment, and then waited until they were done before slowly leaving.

"Sister Zili, why do you say that the queen mother has to come here at night? Why not come during the day? Teng Ling walked backwards on the palace road, and asked Zi to leave the road.

"You're stupid!" Zili's voice was rarely smiling, "We are now the personal maids of the queen's mother, and usually those ordinary palace people see us, and they are more respectful than their low-ranking masters." If we come here during the day, there are too many people to mess around, and some gossip will also affect Niangniang's plans in the future. ”

"That's right!" When she said this, Teng Ling was also happy, "It's good that we're flying into the sky with the queen now." ”

The next night, as Yifang said, she arranged a carriage and waited at the back gate of the courtyard. The carriage was placed there, waiting for Zhang Yan to sit on it with the child. It all seemed to go straight here, but in fact, just as they got into the carriage, two people followed them, Mrs. Luoyan and her maidservant.

As the coachman drove the carriage towards the west door, he wondered to himself, "Aren't there two women and a child sitting in this carriage?" How can it be so bulky? ”

When I arrived at the west gate, Yifang and Zili were already waiting here. She has already arranged everything and it stands to reason that she doesn't need to come in person, but for the next plan, she must appear as the main character.

"The queen is here, stop it!" Zili stopped the galloping carriage.

"Meet the Queen." The coachman and Zhang Yan all stepped down from the carriage and bowed respectfully at the feet of Yifang.

Yifang helped them all up, said a few words casually, and just waited for the next moment.

While a few people were talking, there was a few sounds behind the carriage, and suddenly a short arrow shot out, heading straight for Yifang. But it wasn't fully aimed at this moment, and the short arrow missed a bit, only grazing Yifang's shoulder.

"Queen Mother!"

The people around them all exploded, whether it was the guards guarding the palace gate, or the eunuchs and palace maids around Yifang, they all panicked. They hurriedly surrounded the Yifang to prevent any more hidden arrows from being released.

A few of the guards hurried over to the carriage to find the source of the arrows. They rummaged almost all around the carriage, but found no place to hide.

"Maybe someone is hiding in the carriage?" Zili reminded him at the right time.

The guards understood, tiptoed close to the carriage, and then pulled the curtains, but it was empty. They were puzzled, and it was clear that the short arrow had come from this side.

So, a few people turned the whole carriage over and over again, and finally let them find the clue. Under the carriage, there was still a compartment hidden, and in this compartment, naturally there were two people hidden, it was Mrs. Luoyan and her maidservant.

When Yifang asked Tengling and Zi to leave yesterday to deliberately deliver the news, he also asked them to pretend to have inadvertently mentioned the compartment under the carriage, and sure enough, they were hiding here.

When the two were brought out, Liu Heng happened to come too. After Fang Caiyifang was attacked, someone rushed to inform Liu Heng. At this time, it was a few days before his accession to the throne, and not everyone had surrendered, and it was indeed possible to say that assassination was possible. Therefore, as soon as someone went to report, Liu Heng hurried over.

"Yifang, how are you?" As soon as Liu Heng came, he saw the wound on Yifang's shoulder. The wound wasn't deep, but it was still spilling blood, and it looked like it was badly injured at night.

"Your Majesty, the concubine is fine, she just wiped it, and it's not a big deal." Yifang shook Liu Heng's hand and signaled him not to worry.

"How did you all do errands? So many people can't protect the queen? Liu Heng turned to the palace people around him, and his voice revealed sternness.

"The emperor forgives sins, but the minions are incompetent." Because of Liu Heng's reprimand, the surroundings suddenly fell to their knees.

The guards over there pressed Mrs. Luoyan and the maidservant to come over, saluted in front of Liu Heng, and then knelt down in front of him.

"Your Majesty, the secret arrow that injured the queen's mother just now was the ghost of the two of them." The guards didn't actually see who had placed the arrows, but the two of them were sneakily hiding in the carriage, so they naturally thought so.

"We didn't do it, we just wanted to use this carriage to escape from the palace, how could we hurt people with a secret arrow? If we make a fuss, won't we be even more unable to get out? The maidservant beside Mrs. Luoyan hurriedly explained.

But now no one believes her, everyone knows that these old people in the former palace naturally have some resentment towards the new owner here. It's no surprise that they'll take risks to get revenge.

"Since it's not you, tell me who it is?" Liu Heng looked at the two of them coldly.

"How do we know this, we've been in the carriage all the time, and we've never gone out at all." The maid's gaze swept over everyone, and finally stopped at Zhang Yan's body, "It's her!" She must have done it! She used to be the queen, but now she resents that her queen's position was taken away by others, so she secretly hurts people. ”

"Really?" Liu Heng turned his gaze to Zhang Yan.

But Yifang preemptively said: "It can't be Queen Zhang." When the sword came from before, Empress Zhang was standing beside the concubine, and this arrow was shot from the side of the carriage, how could she do it? ”

Yifang is right, everyone can testify to this. In this way, there is no truth in this matter, and everyone takes it for granted that Mrs. Luoyan and her maidservants dare not do it.

Liu Heng thought the same, so he called the guards and put the two of them in prison. But according to the rules of the case investigation, in the end, they still need to sign and draw the charge to count, that is, various punishments are taken in turn, which is also to establish Liu Heng's prestige, so that the old people in the palace dare not make another mistake.

After this arrangement, the people around them dispersed, but no one noticed that there was only one person next to Yifang, but then at some point, Teng Ling also stood quietly beside her, holding a pocket bow and arrow in his hand.

Three days later, Yi Fang took Zili to the prison, and they came to see Mrs. Luoyan.

In just three days, this once noble woman is now covered in bruises, and her eyes are no longer as agile as before. Presumably, she has suffered a lot here these days, and she is just repaying the sins she created in the past.

"I have no grievances with you, why do you want to harm me like this? Is it just to establish the queen's dismount? Mrs. Luoyan seems to have forgotten the things she had done in the past, "If you want to be powerful, wouldn't it be happier than me, an old man from the previous dynasty, if you want to be powerful, and take some of the palace servants casually?" ”

"Mrs. Luoyan's memory is really bad, so this palace will help you think about what role you played in the tragic deaths of Hu Bazi and Xu Meiren in the past." Yifang crouched down and looked at her at eye level.

"You...... Are you Shangguan Ansu? Mrs. Luoyan remembered it at this time, and she instantly understood, "You did all this to avenge Xu Qiuyi and Hu Wanshui?" ”

"Of course." Yi Fang answered and opened the cell door, "You've suffered a lot here, it's time to end it." Zili, I'll leave it to you here! ”
