At the same time, in the Great Treasure Hall of Jiucheng Palace.

Mei Niang silently listened to Minghe's return, thought quietly for a while, and then turned her head and asked Minghe: "Today...... What is the first day? ”

"First ......"

Minghe was stunned for a moment, lowered his head and thought for a while, before replying: "Niangniang, today is the beginning of the month, and it is already thirteen." ”

"Thirteen ......" Mei Niang hummed and said: "Order, the people in the Huxin Palace, etc., should go to the Inner Servant Province to answer the order." ”

Such a calm and waveless voice made Minghe's heart tighten: "Niangniang......"

"Herald." Mei Niang calmly repeated again.

Minghe gritted his teeth and frowned: "Yes." ”

The voice was extremely soft, if he hadn't been close to Mei Niang, I was afraid that it wouldn't have reached anyone's ears at all.

A quarter of an hour later, the hall in the middle of the lake.

He Lan Minzhi, who had just received Mei Niangyi's order and sent the herald away, turned his head to look at He Lan Minyue, who was full of blank faces: "If you don't want to go, it's still too late." ”

"Don't want to go?" Helan Minyue smiled faintly, staring at her brother's gaze, full of mockery: "If Minyue doesn't go today, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave this Lake Hall in the future?" ”

As soon as she finished speaking, she strode ahead. Helan Minzhi looked at the direction she left, just shook his head, smiled silently, and put his hands behind him, and Shi Shiran followed.

Another quarter of an hour later, ninety percent of the palace servants were in the province.

Mei Niang was dressed in a black fox with a silver edge, and sat upright in the hall. In the hall in front of him, on the left and right, stood Helan Minzhi and Helan Minyue.

In front of their brother and sister, there were still two blurred balls of flesh and blood, and it was no longer possible to distinguish the human form of men, women, and children—it was almost not humanoid, it was simply a piece of flesh that had been stripped of a layer of skin, and the limbs were barely connected together.

"Are you still not saying anything? The queen is here, how long do you think you can hide it?! Minghe stood beside Mei Niang, shook his head, and drank loudly, but there was a hint of pity in his eyes.

"Slave...... Slaves really don't ...... I don't know ......" One of the lumps of meat made a sound, and although it was hoarse to the point that the sound was almost completely absent, it could still be heard, and it should have been a good voice as beautiful as a spring warbler and a summer sparrow.

"At this point, I still don't repent!" Minghe drank sharply, then looked left and right, but heard Mei Niang beside him say slowly: "Slow." ”

He turned his head, looked at Mei Niang slowly getting up, and slowly walked to the maid who was no longer human, his eyes looked past Helan Minzhi and Helan Minyue, and looked straight out of the hall:

"You two are so faithful to the Lord. In view of this, this palace will also remind you that there are more terrible things in this world than death. ”

"...... The slaves and maids really don't know ......" The other piece of meat finally made a sound, crying like a owl.

"I don't know?"

Mei Niang smiled faintly, finally lowered her eyes, and swept the two pairs of eyes soaked in blood left and right: "I really don't know?" What do you not know? Hongu didn't ask anything, and you said you didn't know. Don't know what? ”

The two maids were asked by this, but they were both stunned. The first one to speak was obviously clever, so he cried and said, "Niangniang just wants to ask about the distinguished guest in our prince's east palace...... But we really don't know, mother...... We...... We haven't even seen that distinguished guest ......"

"Good. Prince Donggong, you don't know about that distinguished guest. Good. Mei Niang nodded, smiled again, turned her head and continued to look outside the hall: "Then you told the palace that the rabbit sent out of your palace, you don't know who it was given to?" ”

"The rabbit...... That rabbit was given to that Dongying prince by our eldest son. But...... But that rabbit is a poisonous alien in the Western Regions, let's ...... Our eldest son doesn't know, and we don't know! In fact, it was given to our eldest son by someone else! Empress! Empress! If you don't believe us, can you not believe our eldest son...... He's your own nephew......"

Suddenly, the clever maid screamed and cried bitterly, and even tried to grab Mei Niang's skirt.

It's just that Mei Niang frowned, flashed her hand, smiled faintly, and then replied: "Really? ”

"If the slave and maid have a lie, they will suffer from the five thunders of heaven and burn themselves to death, Niangniang......" The little maid's eyes were blurred by blood, and she couldn't see the road ahead, and she waved her hands wildly but didn't catch anything, and she couldn't help crying bitterly.

Mei Niang smiled again: "Really? For him, you are willing to suffer from the five thunderstorms and burn yourself......" She lowered her eyes and glanced at her with pity, and a faint smile hooked up at the corner of her mouth: "It is indeed a piece of loyalty...... No, should it be said that it is an infatuation? It's rare, it's really rare. ”

"Queen Mother, this girl is just a small maid of Minzhi, and she has nothing to do with Minzhi......"

"Hongu knows."

Mei Niang smiled, interrupted Helan Minzhi's explanation, and looked at him sharply: "This palace knows everything. ”

This shallow sentence was like cold ice into silk, piercing into the bones, and cold the hearts of everyone in the entire temple. Helan Minzhi's face was expressionless, but the hand hidden in the snow-blue wide sleeve was already tightly clenched.

After Mei Niang finished speaking, she no longer looked at his master and servant, only let the two maids cry in His Highness, turned around, walked back to the palace slowly, and sat down.

She looked at the whole hall, at the brother and sister, and suddenly, she laughed.

……

A moment later.

Inside the Great Treasure Hall of Jiucheng Palace.

Hearing Mei Niang's order, Minghe couldn't believe his ears: "Niang Niang......?" ”

"You seem to have quite a problem with what this palace is doing today?" Mei Niang asked without looking back, which made Minghe sweat all over his body for a while: "No...... Can't. ”

"If you don't dare...... Is there it? Let's talk about it. I've been with this palace for so long, and there are some things that this palace knows that you feel strange in your heart. ”

"...... The two little maids ......"

"It's just two pieces. It's just that it was used by their brothers and sisters before, and now it has been robbed and used by this palace. Mei Niang's face was as pale as ice.

"Niangniang wants their brother and sister to be suspicious of each other......"

"The two of them, one is friendly with Shangjin, and the other is conspiring with Sujie, and they all think that the palace is in the dark and knows everything. Originally, this palace was also happy to be an ignorant person. But they dare to move Hong'er......"

Mei Niang held Shujian's hand, her joints gradually lost their blood, and her eyes, which were originally as calm as a lake, gradually became cold: "Then don't blame the palace for not giving them any mercy." ”

Minghe was stunned, and a sense of sadness and guilt faintly rose in his heart: "Minghe doesn't know that Niangniang is hardworking, and he asks Niangniang to give sin!" ”

"There is nothing to give sin. Hongu knew about such a thing, and he shouldn't have asked you to go in person. But this time ......"

Mei Niang paused, shook her head slowly, and her eyes were cold: "Even if you can't stand Brother Helan's spirit in the sky, this palace must completely cut off these two seedlings that extend into the palace!" ”

……

The fifteenth day of the first month of the fifth year of the Tang Dynasty.

The sudden legend in the Jiucheng Palace - the two maids of the Helan brothers and sisters in the Huxin Palace, who were thrown into the water prison two days ago because of the case of violating etiquette in the East Palace, suddenly died violently between the tea when they made it clear that they wanted to say another big thing and waited for the inner chamberlain Ming and the person to come to review it!

For a while, the hearts of the people in the palace were fluctuating, and there were many secret discussions!
