Chapter 3: White Jade Earrings
Hua Jingyao hid behind the Taihu Lake Stone, looking stunned, but she couldn't even move her feet for a long time! Panic grabbed her, and for a moment, she was sweating profusely. Just now, the content of the chat between the queen mother and the secret guard has revealed that the current situation of the imperial capital is much more cruel than she expected.
It's strange that Daddy is in a bad mood every day, just think about it, whose head does such a thing fall on, and whose mood can be good?
Now, no one knows who the "crown prince" is, but the final decision-making power does not need to be thought about, it is in the hands of the emperor. As long as the emperor has a final word, all-for-tat confrontation will come to an abrupt end.
But what exactly is the emperor's decision? The emperor's heart is unfathomable!
So, they strike first.
Hua Jingyao immediately decided to leave the land of right and wrong, but as soon as she hurriedly turned around, she stepped on the moss. She stumbled with an "oops" and barely fell.
This movement was not small, and the queen in the room sharply ordered the guards: "Go and see who is outside!" Take it, and kill whoever it is! Hua Jingyao was so frightened that her soul flew away, but fortunately, where she was hiding, there was still a half-acre square hall from the pavilion.
Probably, the queen also thought that by virtue of the pond, she would definitely have a good line of sight and would not be eavesdropped. There must be a mistake in every secret, and if there is really someone who eats the courage of an ambitious leopard, he dares to eavesdrop on their confidential conversation.
Hua Jingyao ran in a panic, and even she didn't know where she went.
Behind him, several guards hurriedly chased after him, Hua Jingyao kept going, and he didn't know where he had entered, anyway, it was a green forest.
Everyone chased here, and when they saw the road in front of them, they were also at a loss. can only send one person to find it on every road, Hua Jingyao was threatened with her life, and burst out with unprecedented perseverance, and she actually ran out of the forest without dying.
Far away, I vaguely seemed to see a huge palace, which seemed to be the appearance of the national eunuch.
Hua Jingyao didn't think about it in a hurry, and went over there like a fierce man......
A group of guards returned in vain, and the rest of the guards continued to investigate. This group of returning guards reported the emergency, and the queen mother's apricot eyes widened, and she landed on the table in front of her fiercely, "What! Can't catch it!? How unreasonable! You are all wine bags and rice bags!? ”
The queen is panicking!
Murdering the emperor's heir is also a top priority, fortunately, he didn't order that person to poison just now, otherwise if it is investigated in the future, this is not all human and material evidence.
"Niangniang, that person has good skills, as fast as a rabbit! But don't worry, we found this ......."
The guard dragged a small white jade earring in his hand and took it, "Niangniang, please take a look." ”
The queen mother calmed down, reached out and held the white jade earrings in the palm of her hand, "You ask the lady of the Shanggong Bureau to come over, and say that the palace is called in Fengyi Palace, and there are some gadgets that need to be done." The person who is tracking down is still quietly going to investigate, don't disturb His Highness, go and arrange it! ”
The guard responded, and the crowd dispersed in an instant.
The queen mother went to Fengyi Palace.
After a while, the lady of the Shanggong Bureau had arrived. The mother of the Shanggong Bureau, for jewelry and the like, this clue, the queen mother obviously can't continue to investigate, so she simply looked for the mother of the Shanggong Bureau to come over, and the lady was called, and she was also silent. They didn't come in, and they couldn't stop trembling.
The queen glanced coldly at the lady of the Shanggong Bureau, who was like a sifting chaff, and said coldly: "Calm down." ”
In fact, the fear in the heart of the queen mother is no less than that of this Shanggong mother. Who's eavesdropping? Is it the person arranged by the second prince, or the person arranged by the emperor? If it was the person arranged by the emperor, he would have lost his head today.
However, she is such a calm woman, things have happened, and since there is no possibility of changing, she can only find a way to solve it.
"Yes," the lady of the Shanggong Bureau was very perceptive, glanced at the queen, and saw that the queen was sitting expressionlessly, and she also said calmly: "Niangniang asked the slave to come over, but what are the instructions?" ”
"I want you to come and see a little thing, there is nothing big about it, you don't have to be afraid of this palace." The queen gave the eunuch next to her a look, and the eunuch knew what the queen meant, so she took the pendant and sent it to the lady of the Shanggong Bureau.
"And open your eyes, and see what kind of work this pendant is? You don't need to know the rest. The eunuch's warning words exploded above her head like thunder.
The trembling hand of the lady of the Shanggong Bureau took the white jade pendant and looked at it with fear. After reading it, he opened his mouth authoritatively: "Niangniang, this is Qinghai jade." This is very common, but it is not the work of my emperor, it is from the people. ”
"Civil?" The queen raised her eyebrows in surprise, her phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and she quickly restrained her amiable tone - "This palace said that such an unfamiliar style is something that this palace has never seen!" But don't be mistaken. Niangniang got up and approached the Niangniang of the Shanggong Bureau.
"Niangniang, if you want to ask about the rest of the things, how can the slave know? But this gold and silver jewelry, isn't it the slave maid's housekeeping ability, if the slave maid sees this thing wrong, there is no need to do things in the Shanggong Bureau. She had studied it seriously, and now she put the white jade earrings on the plate.
"I don't know if Niang Niang wants to imitate it, or what? Niang Niang said, this Qinghai jade is not transparent, if Niang Niang wants exactly the same, the slave suggests that you use the white jade of Tracestein, the earrings made of this material are as light as a feather and as thin as cicada wings, which is better than this gadget. ”
"Oh, I see." The queen was slightly relieved.
The man was from the people, or was it a woman.
Obviously, it can't be arranged by the emperor, since it wasn't arranged by the emperor, she has nothing to fear. took a sip of tea and looked at the lady of the Shanggong Bureau, "You didn't come here today, did you?" ”
The lady of the Shanggong Bureau was puzzled by this sentence, but she soon understood from the eyes of the eunuch, and hurriedly kowtowed-"Yes!" Be! Mother, mother! Mother, the slave has never been to you. ”
"Let's go from Yimen." The queen said coldly, "Reward." ”
The lady of the Shanggong Bureau went in a cold sweat, but she didn't dare to say any extra words.
Hua Jingyao was afraid that there would be someone chasing after her, but when she walked forward, she suddenly found that she seemed to have entered a paddock, because there were many wooden pillars around, and the ropes and chains on the wooden pillars looked rusty and mottled, and several princes and grandsons were "playing" with bows and arrows in their hands.
Hua Jingyao wanted to pass past the group, but one of the boys in the group had already pointed at her and strode in her direction.
Hua Jingyao saw that this was a young man wearing golden dragon embroidery, looking at his age, he was about sixteen or seventeen years old, but his physique was already the size of an adult, especially the man's eyes, which were shining, like bright stars in the dark night.
He was supposed to have a crown on his head, but because of archery, he took it off, and as for his tunics, he also took them off, and wore a short beat.
The whole body is a dazzling bright yellow, which makes people dizzy and fascinated.
