Chapter 169: Last Chance

Baili Concubine lowered her head.

"We are worried that Granny Zhu is dying and has revealed the secret of Qihua Palace to you."

"What's the secret?"

"Maybe Mother-in-law Zhu knows the mystery of the palace master's life experience, and she told you when she was dying."

"Oh, what is Concubine Yuan's background, how does Mother-in-law Zhu know the mystery of Concubine Yuan's background?"

Baili Fei shook her head.

"How could I know, and I didn't dare to guess, I only knew that the order to kill you was given by the palace master himself."

"Strange, what is the origin of that mother-in-law Zhu, and why does she know?"

"Mother-in-law Zhu was originally a maid of an official family in Beijing, she was from a very humble background, it is said that when she was young, she was very good at speaking, and when she left the master's house, the master gave her a large sum of money, and she bought a brothel to operate, and slowly became rich and rich."

"Oh, which official family is that?"

"I haven't heard her say this, I didn't say it when I asked, anyway, if you can run a brothel, you have to eat both black and white, but I overheard her say that her little master is called Zhao Xiaodog, maybe her master's family is surnamed Zhao, there are many official families surnamed Zhao in Gale City, and I don't know which one."

"Maybe Mother-in-law Zhu deals with black and white every day, and inadvertently knows about your palace master's life experience?"

"Yes, the palace master's life experience is indeed a mystery, I have been with her for a long time, and I never said anything about my childhood, and she not only wants to kill you, but also Murong Qi'er, but Miss Murong suddenly disappeared, and no one can be found anymore."

Yue'er guessed that Mother-in-law Zhu knew that Concubine Yuan's life experience might not be so simple, if someone else told her, who was the person who said it, and how did Concubine Yuan know that Mother-in-law Zhu hadn't told others before?

"By the way, was the queen of the Frost Leaf Pavilion accepted by you?"

"Well, after I enter the palace, these will be handed over to Lan'er to be responsible, and I really don't know how to operate now, but if my mother-in-law dies, she will find someone to replace her, and Wang Niang is a very suitable candidate."

"By the way, where is Liang Ichiro in the world of flower picking?"

Yue'er suddenly gritted her teeth.

"Oh, Liang Yilang, this lewd thief is somewhat mysterious, as far as we know, he appears in a place, will pretend to be a Confucian or a Luo Di Xiucai, get drunk in a wine shop, and after committing a crime, he will disappear."

"Okay, if you have news from him, tell me immediately!"

"Yes."

"By the way, I want to ask you at the end, what is the last hole card that your palace master said?"

Baili Concubine smiled bitterly.

"Do you think this kind of secret, the palace master and her old man will tell it?"

"And guess what?"

Baili Fei thought about it.

"If you want me to guess, I can only guess, I guess it's a person, a person who no one can imagine, he is not in the list of Qihua Palace, but he has always been by our side, and it is very likely that he is the person next to the queen!"

Yue'er thought about it, there were too many people around the queen, and she really couldn't guess which one it was, but if this person can be called a hole card, it should be someone who has very important power and can influence the queen's behavior, but who is he?

Speaking of which, most of the questions Yue'er wanted to ask had already been asked, and she stuffed the cloth bag of the Ascending Immortal Pill back into Concubine Baili's hand, and said, "I'm sorry sister, I started a little heavier just now, does it matter if you want it?" ”

Concubine Baili shook her head, she showed concern.

"Sister, are you really sure to find a way to detoxify?"

"I'm not absolutely sure, but I'm going to try!"

Suddenly there was a questioning voice outside the courtyard, I don't know what happened, Yue'er was startled, and said: "That's the guards guarding outside the Kunxi Palace, they have to guard for fifteen days, someone should be coming in, sister, you go quickly!" ”

Baili Concubine was stunned.

"Sister, don't worry about letting me go, aren't you afraid that I'll lock you inside?"

Yue'er smiled.

"If I don't let you go, will you still be locked up here, it's useless for me to go out, besides, who knows if the queen will rest assured that she will keep me here."

Baili Fei struggled to her feet, she was very slow to move now.

"Okay, I'm leaving, what do you want my sister to do?"

"Of course, if my sister doesn't go back, Concubine Yuan will definitely be suspicious, although she is keeping a wake tonight, she will definitely ask the result tomorrow."

"Then how do I explain?"

"My sister said that I was only willing to give ten Ascending Immortal Pills for one day's food, and asked her to bring paper and pen tomorrow, so that I could give orders to Simon's people."

"Thanks, thanks."

In fact, Yue'er was very risky just now, but she believed that Concubine Baili could be moved by herself.

The two clasped hands and hugged each other gently.

"Thank you, sister!"

Baili Fei's voice was choked, Yue'er helped her climb up to the shrine, Baili Fei pressed it on the three green bricks, the secret door opened, and she stepped in.

There was a sound of locking outside, and it seemed that the courtyard door of the Kunxi Hall had been opened, and someone had walked in.

"You go!"

"Sister, I believe in you!"

"Okay."

Yue'er pushed Baili Concubine into the secret door, and the secret door clicked shut.

At this time, there were footsteps outside, obviously someone was approaching the main hall, Yue'er quickly jumped off the shrine and found a corner to lie down.

"Duanyu, Duanyu!"

A voice shouted outside, Yue'er heard that it was Huang Jin, and smiled coldly in her heart, she didn't bother to pay attention to it.

A few clicks, the wooden planks of the gate were broken with an iron rod, a faint light shot in, at this time the dusk was coming to an end, the light was very dim, someone looked inside, saw Yue'er sitting on the ground, turned around and said: "Shanggong Niangniang, Duanyu is inside." ”

Yue'er knew that Yu Shanggong came to see her, and she sneered even more, she slapped her face swollen yesterday, is it to take revenge today, she suddenly thought that she hadn't worn a human skin mask yet, and hurriedly took it out and pasted it on her face.

"Is she dead?"

"No, I'm still moving, I've only been hungry for a day, and I didn't die so soon."

"Okay, you guys go out, this palace will talk to her alone!"

"Yes—"

Huang Jien withdrew, and after a while, a kettle was thrown in, and Yu Shanggong spoke: "Duanyu, come here, this palace has something to tell you!" ”

Yue'er snorted and said hoarsely, "You say—"

Yu Shanggong coughed.

"Duanyu, the queen ordered me to come to give you one last chance."

"Oh, what chance, don't you kill me?"

Yue'er said, picked up the kettle and drank two sips of water, although she had eaten a few melons and fruits before, her mouth was still very thirsty.

"Whether you kill or not depends on your performance."

Yue'er faintly guessed the queen's intentions in her heart, and said, "Do you want me to frame the prince?" ”

Yu Shanggong smiled coldly and said, "It's not a frame, it's an honest confession, you and the prince have formed a party for personal gain, and secretly colluded." ”

Yue'er laughed, she knew that the crown prince, King Lu, and King Jing had been detained by the Imperial City Division, but the Imperial City Division was not qualified to interrogate the prince, and now it must be handed over to Zongzheng Mansion.

"Why, the queen hasn't settled Prince Dongping yet?"

Yue'er knows that Prince Dongping represents Zongzheng Mansion, and Zhao Dongping is usually like the shadow of Xuan Ling, if there is a fourth person in Dawei in addition to the three mountains, then this person must be this shadow prince.

"Duanyu, you are not very old, and you have only been in the palace for a year, you can actually see through it, and you can be regarded as a bit of a brain, very good, to tell you the truth, Zongzheng Mansion just wants a piece of evidence, if you help the queen, she will consider letting you die easier, otherwise, you know your fate!"

"If I recruit death, if I don't recruit death, what is the use of making a move?"

Yu Shanggong hated it so much that the roots of his teeth itched.

"Duanyu, don't be ignorant, the collusion between you and the prince has evidence and physical evidence, you just need to write a confession according to the queen's intentions, and explain your collusion and conspiracy inside and outside to get rid of it, if you really go to Zongzheng Mansion, what kind of punishment will be used, or weigh it!"

Yue'er laughed and said, "Since this is the case, then hand me over to Zongzheng Mansion as soon as possible, Yu'er happens to have a lot of questions to tell them!" She knew that the queen didn't dare to hand herself over to Zongzheng Mansion, after all, there were too many doubts about the death of the Queen Mother, and if Zongzheng Mansion really wanted to investigate, the queen would at least have to shed her skin, so why let Yu Shanggong come to run now.

"Are you rejecting Hongu's kindness?"

"This is also a good intention, what a joke, you go and tell the queen mother, please let her let the prince go, otherwise you will regret it for the rest of your life!"

Yu Shanggong sighed.

"Duanyu, do you think that if you keep the prince, you can keep you, you are too naïve!"

"yes, I'm starving."
