Chapter 74: The Origin of the Top Bead (Second Update)

"You think I'm here to settle accounts with you?"

Fu Yiran patted Li Zhaoyi's shoulder and said with a smile.

Li Zhaoyi was silent for a while, turned her face slowly, and looked at her cautiously.

"Isn't it?"

She deliberately taught Fu Eran the dance that she used to amaze the whole capital, and she had long expected that Fu Eran would come to settle accounts, so she stayed in the house all day today and didn't climb the wall.

I waited anxiously for a day, it was dark, thinking that Fu Yingran would not come, and I didn't want her to come anyway.

"Knowing that I'm going to settle accounts means that you did it on purpose."

Fu Yiran deliberately pulled up a face, and his voice sank a little.

Li Zhaoyi immediately raised the quilt to cover her face, and the whole person was stuffed in the quilt, without saying a word.

Fu Yingran just teased her, but she didn't want to find that the person in the quilt began to tremble slightly, and after a while, there was a faint and dull sound of begging for mercy, full of fear.

"Don't hit meβ€”"

When she was first imprisoned in the cold palace, she was arrogant and unwilling, banging on the door and yelling and scolding day and night, disturbing the entire palace uneasy.

She was beaten by several guards guarding the cold palace at that time, and her nose and face were swollen, and she would be beaten severely as long as she made a little noise, and then she was completely scared.

It wasn't until the guards guarding the cold palace changed that the shadow of the beating slowly improved, and there was no longer the arrogance of the past.

Li Zhaoyi's two subordinates trembled with fright when they saw her, and immediately knelt down to plead, "I beg the county lord to spare her this time for the sake of our master's mental confusion and already very pitiful." ”

Fu Yingran sighed, "Okay, let's all get up." I didn't blame her. ”

As he spoke, he went to lift Li Zhaoyi's quilt.

But Li Zhaoyi pulled the quilt tightly, just not showing her head, and the trembling became more and more intense.

Fu Eran let go of his hand and patted her gently on the shoulder, "I'm joking with you, don't be afraid!" I asked you to teach me to dance, and I asked you to choreograph the dance, and I don't blame you. ”

She patted her gently like a child, soothing Li Zhaoyi's fear and uneasiness in a gentle voice, and let her slowly show her face.

"You're not going to hit me?"

The cloudy eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of gauze, and tears rolled down from the corners of the eyes, revealing caution and timidity, and there was no sign of the rumored arrogance and arrogance.

Even if she was once arrogant and arrogant, more than ten years of cold palace life have worn away all her edges and corners.

Fu Yingran nodded gently, ran her messy hair, and smiled, "Don't fight." How have I ever beaten you? ”

Li Zhaoyi smiled comfortably at this time, and soon disappeared without a trace.

"I'm here to ask you something, do you recognize this pearl?"

Fu Yingran helped Li Zhaoyi to sit up, poured out a pearl the size of a dragon's eye from a brocade bag, and handed it to her.

I saw that the pearl was round and white, full and shiny, as if it had illuminated this dilapidated room at once.

The old lady of the Hot Spring Palace was very good at Fu Ying, and she was holding this pearl tightly in her hand when she was dying, thinking that it must be related to the cause of her death.

When Fu Yingran wanted to find out the origin of this pearl, the first thing that came to mind was Li Zhaoyi.

Li Zhaoyi once favored the harem, and she is well-informed, and she must have seen many treasures, so she may know something.

Sure enough, I saw Li Zhaoyi staring directly at the pearl, her cloudy eyes suddenly lit up, her lips trembled up and down, and her face that directly wrapped her bones trembled.

The whole person seemed to have triggered the mechanism, and he became excited all of a sudden.

"Slut, slut!"

Li Zhaoyi suddenly roared, knelt down suddenly, grabbed the pearl and fell out.

Her chest rose and fell violently, and her eyes widened to the fullest, full of hatred.

Fu Yingran was caught off guard by her reaction, and instead of protecting the pearl, she watched the pearl bounce on the ground a few times, not knowing where it had rolled.

"How can you throw it away, do you know how precious this pearl is!"

The crescent moon glared at Li Zhaoyi, stomped her feet in anger, and hurriedly searched all over the house.

Tian Guangfeng was naturally not idle, and even Li Zhaoyi's two subordinates were nervously helping to find it.

Fu Yiran grabbed Li Zhaoyi's shoulder, stared at her seriously, and asked, "Do you recognize that pearl?" Whose is that? ”

Li Zhaoyi clutched the quilt with both hands, eager to tear the quilt apart.

She gritted her teeth and squeezed out a fierce voice from between her teeth, and said three words word by word, "Han, Yun!" ”

Fu Yiran thought about it for a long time, and was very unfamiliar with this name, so he asked again, "Who is Han Yun?" ”

This time it was Li Zhaoyi's two subordinates who answered Fu Ying, both of them had ugly faces, as if they remembered some past, and explained with a solemn frown,

"Han Yun is the original queen of the former emperor, and it was also because of her poisoning that our master was imprisoned in the cold palace."

Fu Yingran suddenly realized that this pearl turned out to be the first queen's.

Li Zhaoyi has been in the cold palace since she entered the cold palace, and her spirit is easy to go crazy, although she is not as crazy as she yelled before, but she can't listen to it very much, and she mutters and scolds the slut alone.

Li Zhaoyi couldn't give Fu Yingran an answer, but her two subordinates knew a lot.

These two subordinates have been serving Li Zhaoyi since she entered the palace until now.

So they all know what Li Zhaoyi knows.

Among them, the thin-faced grandmother with a round bun explained, "This pearl is a rare deep-sea pearl in the world, and there are only two in the entire palace when the envoys of the Ximing Kingdom came to the court more than ten years ago. One made the top bead on the phoenix crown of the first queen, and the other is said to have made the crown bead of the successor later. ”

Fu Yingran knew that the next step of what the thin-faced grandmother said was the current queen mother.

Another deep-sea pearl is the top pearl on the phoenix crown worn by the Queen Mother who was seen at the Spring Banquet yesterday.

Another grandmother with a black mole on her earlobe asked strangely, "This top bead of the first queen was lost after she was poisoned, how could it be in the hands of the county lord?" ”

"Lost after being poisoned? Where did you lose it? ”

The mama with a black mole shook her head, "I can't tell, maybe I lost it when I was in the hot spring palace, or maybe I lost it after returning to the palace." It is said that it was discovered when the queen wore a phoenix crown. ”

Hot Springs Palace.

Fu Yingran caught an important place name, no wonder such a precious pearl would appear in the hands of the old lady, it turned out that the first queen had been to the hot spring palace, and it was poisoned in the hot spring palace.

What's the connection?

"Mama, can you tell me about the poisoning of the first queen? What the hell is this...... Is it related to Li Zhaoyi? ”

Fu Yingran asked very carefully, observing Li Zhaoyi's emotions and reactions at all times, and it was best not to stimulate her.

The thin-faced grandmother sighed, looking at Li Zhaoyi who was struggling with the quilt on the bed, and there was only a gloom on her withered face.

"It's been more than ten years, and the master is in this situation now, and there's nothing that can't be said."

The thin-faced grandmother and the black mole grandmother looked at each other, and their faces were full of sighs and desolation reminiscing about the past.

The thin-faced grandmother said, "Li Zhaoyi and the former queen were married to the former emperor at the same time. Li Zhaoyi is favored, the first queen is noble, both of them are competitive lords, often stumbling on each other, and no one looks down on anyone. Anyway, it's the harem women competing for favor. ”
