The sixty-fourth episode of the palace again met the demon
Huang Xue's injury has finally healed, and since the beginning of this year, she has always been injured and recuperating, which really makes her a little depressed.
This time, her injuries were not physical, but mainly mental, after all, ordinary people who experience such a big fire need some psychological recuperation, and it is even more difficult to recover from physical injuries.
During her recuperation, most of the concubines in the palace came to visit her, and even Queen Jiang, who had never been there, sent some gifts. Now that she has recovered from her injuries, she naturally has to come to the door one by one to return the salute.
The first person who needs to thank is of course Huang Guifei, so early this morning, Huang Yan, who had made an appointment the day before, came as promised and accompanied her to the West Palace to thank her.
Huang Guifei was also a little happy to see the two, the three of them drank tea together and chatted about family life, and time passed quickly.
Suddenly, a maid came to report that the queen sent someone to send some new tea from Donglu this year and asked Huang Guifei to taste it. Huang Guifei and Queen Jiang have known each other for many years, so naturally they will not refuse people thousands of miles away, so they passed the maid sent by the queen to deliver tea.
After a while, I saw that behind Huang Guifei's maid, a beautiful woman in a white-clothed palace dress walked in with a beautiful wooden box, moving lightly and swaying in.
When Huang Xue looked at the maid without any opinion, she was suddenly startled, exclaimed, and even the teacup fell to the ground and shattered. The maid who came to deliver tea was exactly the same as the white-clothed demon girl she saw in the Three Holy Caves of Mopan Mountain that day.
Huang Xue's reaction was so big that everyone around her was also shocked, Hu Yumei, who was originally with her head down, looked up and happened to see Huang Xue staring at her. She suddenly felt frightened, and a trace of panic flashed in her evasive eyes, but this look was also caught by Huang Xue.
Huang Guifei said curiously: "Daji, what's wrong, why are you so panicked?"
Huang Xue suddenly sobered up when she heard this, although she couldn't figure out how she could see the white-clothed demon girl in the palace, but this was in the West Palace, but it was really not good to embarrass Huang Guifei. Then he forced a smile and said: "The concubine saw that this palace maid was a little familiar, and she lost her temper for a while, and asked the mother to forgive her sins." ”
Huang Guifei nodded and said no more.
Hu Yumei stepped forward and saluted: "The slave maid has seen the concubine Niangniang, I have seen the concubine Niangniang, Donglu sent a batch of new tea yesterday, and the slave maid was ordered by the queen to send some to taste with the concubine Niangniang." ”
Huang Guifei nodded and said: "The queen has a heart, and in a few days she will go to the East Palace to thank her in person." ”
Hu Yumei handed the wooden box in her hand to Huang Guifei's maid, and after another salute, she was about to turn around and leave.
Suddenly, Huang Xue's voice came from his ears: "Wait a minute." ”
Hu Yumei was shocked, slowly turned around, and said, "What else does the concubine have to order?"
Huang Xue squinted at her and said, "You are very much like an old man of mine, I don't know what your name is, when did you enter the palace?"
Hu Yumei hesitated for a moment and returned: "Back to Niangniang's words, the slave maid is called Yu'er, and it has been a year since she entered the palace, and she has never been lucky enough to know the concubine Niangniang." ”
"Yu'er?" Huang Xue asked, "What was your name before you entered the palace?"
Hu Yumei said: "The slave is an orphan, she grew up in Donglu since she was a child, and she didn't have any serious names before entering the palace, so she didn't dare to say it and polluted the ears of the two mothers." Lady Niangniang, the queen is still waiting for the slave to go back to report, the slave and the maid will retire, please forgive the mother. ”
Huang Xue didn't plan to let her go, and said with a smile: "If you say a few words, you won't delay much work, and you won't blame the queen if you want to come." Then I'll ask you one more question, I wonder if you have any sisters in your family?"
Hearing the word "sister", a trace of hatred flashed in Hu Yumei's eyes, and after thinking about it, she said lightly: "The slave maid is an orphan, and there are so many sisters who grew up together, I don't know which one the mother is asking?"
When Huang Xue heard this, she was about to ask again, but Huang Yan on the side persuaded: "Okay, Ah Xue, people are similar, and it is not uncommon for people to look alike, so you don't have to ask again, hurry up and let Miss Yu'er go back to her life." ”
Huang Xue saw that Huang Guifei and Huang Yan were a little impatient, so she nodded, didn't ask any more, and let Hu Yumei leave.
Returning to the East Palace, Hu Yumei's heart became more and more uneasy, and she couldn't think of hiding all day long, but she was still seen by Su Daji.
Seeing Queen Jiang, she couldn't bear it anymore, and said hurriedly: "Queen Niangniang, Su Daji's power in the palace is getting stronger and stronger, if you don't make a move as soon as possible, I'm afraid it will be more and more difficult to deal with." ”
The queen nodded and said, "I naturally know about this matter, but she hasn't made a mistake recently, and this palace really doesn't have any chance to attack her." ”
Hu Yumei said: "Niangniang, think about it again, but what other means are there?"
The queen said angrily: "How can there be any means, the only people in the palace who can use this palace are these people in the palace, you can't expect them to assassinate Su Daji, right?"
When Hu Yumei heard the word assassination, she suddenly said in her heart: "Have you ever thought about finding an assassin from outside the palace to assassinate?"
"Outside the palace?" the queen frowned when she heard this, and said for a long time: "Let this palace think again." ”
On the way back to Shufang Palace with Huang Yan, Huang Xue was still thinking about the white-clothed demon girl in her heart, so she was a little silent. Seeing this, Huang Yan said, "Ah Xue, why are you a little abnormal today, but you are still thinking about that Yu'er girl?"
Huang Xue pondered for a moment and said, "Sister Yan, this Yu'er is the same as the average life of a person I know, it's too much of a coincidence. ”
Huang Yanqi said: "Who is that person? ”
Huang Xue sighed: "It's not a good person, I just hope this Yu'er is not her!"
The spring equinox on the side suddenly interjected: "Niangniang, the slave looks at this Yu'er girl, but it's very powerful!"
Huang Xue was shocked when she heard this, and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter, what did you find?"
The spring equinox said: "The slave knows a few friends from Donglu, and it is difficult to change the accent when she speaks, but this Yu'er girl's court singer speaks very authentically, and she doesn't even have an accent at all." ”
When Huang Xue heard this, she recalled that Yu'er's accent, which was really an extremely authentic official dialect of the court, and suddenly the hesitation in her heart was even worse. After thinking about it again, she said to the spring equinox: "Spring equinox, these days, you secretly inquire about this Yu'er for me, I always feel that there is something wrong with her." ”
When the spring equinox heard this, he responded that Huang Xue was favored, and even with her among the palace maids and attendants, it was not difficult to find a palace maid.
Huang Yan said unhappily: "Ah Xue, you are really a little mysterious today, and you refuse to make it clear, who is this Yu'er, and you even refuse to tell me?"
Huang Xue said helplessly: "Sister Yan, don't be angry, isn't it undecided now? When it is confirmed that it is her, the little sister will be the first to tell you." Alas, I'm afraid that if it's really her, the palace will be unpeaceful again. ”
The little maid Chun couldn't be separated, but it was very fast to find out the news, but in three days, she reported back to Huang Xue: "Niangniang, the maid of the queen's maid, the slave maid found out, it turns out that the name Yu'er is not her real name, and I don't know why she would hide her name in front of Niangniang." ”
Huang Xue hurriedly asked, "Then what is her name?"
The spring equinox said: "The slave maid heard from the people in the East Palace that her real name is Hu Yumei. ”
When Huang Xue heard this, she immediately gasped, only hearing this name, if she said that it had nothing to do with Hu Jiaomei, she would not believe it if she was killed.
The spring equinox didn't notice Huang Xue's horror, and continued: "The slave maid also inquired that she entered the palace in May last year, and it was indeed sent by the Dongbohou Mansion in Donglu. ”
Huang Xue was surprised: "Dongbohou Mansion?"
"Yes, there are rumors that she may have something to do with the prince of Dongbohou. ”
Jiang Wenhuan: Why did you get involved with him? The origin of this monster is really a bit strange. Huang Xue asked again, "But what else is the news?"
The spring equinox said: "It's not a big deal...... By the way, there is another little thing, it is said that she is extremely good at the lute, many people have seen her have a jade lute, which is very delicate and should be worth a lot of money. The queen also liked to listen to her play the lute, and listened to it for more than an hour every afternoon. ”
When Huang Xue heard about this, she was already 100% sure in her heart, this Hu Yumei must be a demon girl in white.
Unexpectedly, I didn't expect that Hu Jiaomei didn't become herself and sneaked into the palace, but her sister Hu Yumei got in. Now it is not difficult to figure it out, presumably the queen suddenly has such a strong hostility towards herself, and she was also charmed by Hu Yumei, which may not be her original intention.
Thinking of this, she said to the spring equinox: "You go and continue to inquire about Hu Yumei, if you have any new discoveries, come and tell me." Also, you go and inform Sister Yan now, and ask her to come to the palace to see me as soon as possible, I have something important to discuss with her. ”
Early the next morning, Huang Yan came to Shuyuan Palace, and Huang Xue told her that Hu Yumei was a demon girl and charmed the queen.
Huang Yan was surprised when she learned about this: "How did you eliminate Mei Bo, and there are monsters in the palace again?" Ah Xue, since you entered the palace, the palace has not been safe for a moment. ”
Huang Xue rolled her eyes when she heard this, she didn't blame Huang Yan for this, to be honest, she thought so herself.
Huang Yan complained for a while, and then said, "Then what should I do this time?" Do you want to tell the king?"
Huang Xue said helplessly: "With my current relationship with the queen, do you think the king will believe me?"
Huang Yan sighed and said, "Then who else can I ask for help now? ”
Huang Xue thought about the scene of the battle between the three demons that day, and said: "This Hu Yumei, if I remember correctly, shouldn't be very powerful, you and I add up to the kung fu, it shouldn't be difficult to hold her, the main thing is that her charm technique is a little troublesome." Now she is the personal maid of the queen's mother, the queen's mother is charmed by her, and she will definitely not let us arrest her, how to avoid the queen's mother, I'm afraid the biggest problem. ”
Huang Yan said: "Then do you have any way?"
Huang Xue's face turned grim and said: "These days, my sister has come to the palace to accompany me, I will let the spring equinox go to find out the news, as long as the monster leaves the East Palace, you will help me take her down in one fell swoop, even if she is killed on the spot, no one will blame me." ”
