Gong Yu was slightly stunned, and immediately lowered his eyes and stopped looking at Xie Yun.

"When did these two young ladies enter the palace?" Gong Yu asked in a low voice.

"Back to Your Highness, these two young ladies were summoned into the palace by Concubine Rong at three o'clock in the afternoon." Xia Jinzhong lowered his head and replied respectfully.

Then, the conversation between the two young ladies is very likely to be instructed by Concubine Rong. Gong Yu lowered her head and smoothed the folds on her sleeves. What she was a little puzzled about was that Cui Xiyao of the Cui clan in Runan was also summoned into the palace by Concubine Rong. The Runan Cui clan has never participated in the court disputes, and is famous among the family for its upright and righteous spirit, but now it has something to do with Concubine Rong, which is really intriguing.

"Father-in-law Xia, I'm going to go to Chengqian Palace a little later." Gong Yu said. She was still smiling, but the smile sent chills down her spine.

- She needs to clearly know the attitude of the Runan Cui clan and the purpose of Concubine Rong.

Xia Jinzhong understood Gong Yu's voice, he held the dust in his hand, and said in a lengthened voice: "Princess Yuanxi has arrived-"

Cui Xiyao looked at Gong Yu in surprise, she didn't seem to expect Princess Yuanxi to appear here, she immediately leaned over respectfully and said, "Courtier Cui Xiyao pays a visit to Princess Yuanxi." ”

Wan Zihan also leaned down, and only said lightly: "The courtier Wan Zihan pays a visit to Princess Yuanxi." ”

There is nothing wrong with the court etiquette of the concubines of the family.

Gong Yu stood in place, looking at the two quietly, and after a long time, she said slowly: "Get up." ”

Wan Zihan's eyes flashed with a hint of resentment, and this Princess Yuanxi gave them a dismount as soon as she came. She clenched her sleeves, but her face remained calm.

Gong Yu only smiled and said: "When the palace walked to the corridor, I vaguely heard the two young ladies mention the main palace, I don't know what the two young ladies are talking about?" ”

Cui Xiyao's face turned pale when she heard this, obviously not knowing how to answer.

Wan Zihan covered her lips and smiled: "The courtier just told Sister Cui that she had seen His Royal Highness in the palace. Maybe His Royal Highness has forgotten that seven years ago, when the courtiers and grandfathers entered the palace to see the concubine Niangniang, they had also seen His Royal Highness by this pool, and it was still summer, and His Royal Highness was bending down to play with the red lotus by the pool. ”

This answer revealed Fang Cai's discussion of Princess Yuanxi.

"It's just a pity, it's a cold winter wax moon now, and the red lotus has already been thanked." Gong Yu sighed. She looked sideways at the pool. The pool was covered with a layer of crushed ice, and the surface of the water was silent without a ripple.

"Your Highness, wait until the midsummer of next year, and the red lotus will bloom again." Cui Xiyao said.

Gong Yu didn't answer again, she was still smiling slightly. The pool reflected her appearance, but her dark eyes looked extremely dark. She seemed to be remembering something.

Wan Zihan was standing behind Gong Yu at this time, her face was a little ruthless, she suddenly stretched out her hand and pushed Gong Yu hard.

Is Concubine Rong's purpose just to let her fall overboard? Gong Yu pondered for a moment, Fang Cai's distracted appearance was just her disguise.

Seeing Gong Yu turn sideways slightly, she raised her hand and easily grabbed Wan Zihan's wrist.

Wan Zihanjing looked at Gong Yu angrily, she obviously didn't expect Gong Yu to fight back. She felt only a great pain coming out of her wrist, as if it was about to crush her hand alive.

"Why is that conversation that Hongu just heard different from what you are talking about now?" Gong Yu smiled slightly. "What this palace just heard is that you said that Princess Yuanxi is vicious, arrogant, and faceless."

"The courtiers have never said such a thing, didn't Your Highness mishear?" Wan Zihan's face turned pale, but there was a hint of ridicule in his eyes.

"It's not bad to think about this palace, you must be suffering from a headache." Gong Yu said calmly.

"What?"

"I've heard the Imperial Doctor say that people who have forgotten what they have said usually have a headache." Gong Yu said, "However, you don't have to worry, this palace knows a trick." She grabbed Wan Zihan's hand and slowly tightened it, leaving a cold color on her nails stained red by cardamom.

"Just wash your head in this cold winter pool."

Wan Zihan was stunned, only to feel that the sky was spinning for a while, followed by a bone-chilling cold.

As soon as she heard a "plop", Wan Zihan fell into the water, and she instinctively began to struggle in the pool. "Help—"

Except for the sound of saving lives, there was silence by the pool.

Xia Jinzhong lowered his head, as if he hadn't seen anything.

Half of Xie Yun's face was hidden in the shadows of the corridor, and he watched it all with an indifferent expression.

Cui Xiyao clutched her sleeves tightly, and her face was whiter than snow.

Gong Yu stood by the pool and looked at Wan Zihan condescendingly, her eyes as silent as ice that had not yet melted.

- She was waiting, she wanted to know what was going to be in this pool.

Wan Zihan first used a rude remark to lure her to the pool, and then used so-called memories to distract her in an attempt to push her into the pool.

There must be the most crucial link in Concubine Rong's plan in this water.

Gong Yu looked at the edge of the pool, and in an instant, her gaze froze.

In the half-melted snow, there was a golden hairpin reflecting the water, glowing with a faint gold.

It is a golden hairpin, faintly visible, the golden hairpin is carved with nine lifelike phoenixes, outlining incomparably complex lines, this is the headdress of the most noble woman in the world!

That is the headdress of today's queen, that is, Gong Yu's biological mother-Jiufeng hairpin.

"Father-in-law Xia, do you know water?" Gong Yu asked lightly. She didn't want Wan Zihan to die, after all, the death of a daughter of a family was enough to make a big fuss.

Xia Jinzhong immediately understood what Gong Yu meant, he put the dust in his hand in the snow and jumped into the water.

Gong Yu took advantage of the fact that everyone's eyes were in the water, so he leaned down and picked up the golden hairpin.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, in this water, a palace maid died in this water!" Xia Jinzhong exclaimed.

Gong Yu watched quietly.

At this moment, only a few voices were heard from the corridor,

"Your Majesty, the Empress has arrived—"

"Concubine Rong has arrived—"

Gong Yu lowered his eyes and sighed, I see, it seems that Concubine Rong is going to fall short this time.
