On this day,.

Yi'er's body was recovered from a well. After examination, it was confirmed that he died of drowning, and since there were no obvious injuries, he was considered suicide.

When she first heard about this, Hua Mian was stunned for a long time, and the whole person felt like she was in a haze, and she couldn't breathe for a long time.

For some reason, she didn't think it was like suicide, and if she had committed suicide due to grief over the loss of her child, she wouldn't have waited until now. Although this matter is strange, it is not complicated, if there is anyone who wants Yi'er to disappear the most, the first person in her mind is Rong Laiqing.

After entering the palace for so long, Hua Mian and Pei Gongcuo's women almost have no contact, and she is already glad that they don't come to harass her, how could she take the initiative to cause trouble? However, today, she felt that it was necessary to go to Hui Rong Laiqing, after all, Beiyu lost her personal maid and maid, and she needed comfort the most now.

However, when it came to Yikun Palace, Hua Mian realized that Rong Laiqing was much calmer than he imagined.

She smiled lightly and invited her to sit down beside her, lifted another cup and poured tea for her and pushed it in front of her, then picked up the chess pieces and continued to entertain herself. It's not like treating a first-time visitor, but like treating a friend who knows each other and doesn't need to be too polite.

Hua Mian took a sip of tea and said: "This tea tastes good, is it a tea before the rain or a tea before the rain?" ”

"It's all tea, it can quench thirst and quench boredom, how can there be so much exquisiteness." Rong Laiqing didn't raise his head and said, "If you like to drink it." ”

Hua Mian smiled slightly: "The gentleman doesn't win people's love, so it's better to keep it for yourself." ”

Rong Laiqing dropped the sunspot in his hand: "If it is really my love, how can I give it up easily?" ”

Hua Mian seemed to have realized: "So, the emperor is not what you love?" ”

Rong Laiqing held the chess hand for a moment, raised her eyes to look at her, and the smile on the corner of her lips couldn't help expanding: "Concubine Burmese is really clear-minded, and she can even associate this with it." ”

Hua Mian stared at her with blazing eyes: "Then what I said is right?" ”

Rong Laiqing put the chess pieces on the chessboard back into the chess box and said: "It's not interesting to play chess alone, it's better for you to accompany me in the next game, if you can win me, I will not refuse your questions, and I will answer all questions." ”

Hua Mian couldn't help but squint at her, this woman was really unusual, and she actually guessed that she was looking for answers with questions, rather than simply visiting her door. It's just that the condition she offered seems simple, but in fact it is like telling her that she is sorry and has nothing to say. Because her chess skills are so bad that she has never won against anyone.

Hua Mian smiled slyly: "Why don't we play backgammon?" ”

"Oh? And this kind of chess? Rong Laiqing was interested, "Teach me." ”

Hua Mian then explained the rules to her with great interest. Rong Laiqing's eyes lit up and said: "This method is interesting, I like it." Okay, let's play backgammon. ”

Hua Mian didn't expect her to agree so easily, and her heart was simply happy. However, to her surprise, the joy of victory did not last long, and then it was a thousand miles away.

She fought with Pei Gongcuo for a few days last year, and she lost in the dark, at that time she only thought that his IQ was different from ordinary people, and she had nothing to feel sorry for herself if she lost, but now she lost to Rong Laiqing in the same way, and she was really hurt.

After losing ten games in a row, Hua Mian said with tears in her eyes: "Can I choose not to play?" ”

Rong Laiqing smiled: "Don't you still have questions for me?" ”

"But didn't you say that you can only ask questions if you win?"

"Didn't you win me in the first game?"

Hua Mian suddenly burst into tears and laughed: "So, are you willing to answer my question?" ”

Rong Laiqing sneered: "Your chess skills are so poor, I don't think your problem is very clever." ”

Hua Mian said unconvinced: "That's not necessarily. I'm afraid you won't dare to answer. ”

Rong Laiqing threw the chess pieces in his hand: "Alas, it's not interesting to always win, it's better to listen to your question." ”

Hua Mian joked: "If I know too much, will you kill people?" ”

Rong Laiqing leaned back in the chair, with a smile in her eyes: "I think, you don't have the ability to let me kill you." ”

"Does that Yi'er have that ability?"

As soon as Hua Mian said this, the smile on Rong Laiqing's face froze: "You mean to say that Yi'er was killed by me?" ”

"Isn't it?"

"Tell me your reasoning." Rong Laiqing made a deaf hearing.

Hua Mian stared at her for a long time, and then suddenly said, "Yi'er is pregnant with the emperor's child." ”

Sure enough, hearing this, the calmness on Rong Laiqing's face turned into surprise, but the surprise was only fleeting, and she continued to put on a leisurely posture and said, "How can you see it?" ”

"Yi'er secretly hid the emperor's jade pendant not because of wealth, but because she loved the emperor. The jade pendant is the emperor's personal thing, how can he get it if he doesn't serve him closely? So the emperor must have favored her. On that day, she was reluctant to suffer the twenty boards, because she was afraid that the child in her womb would not be protected, and you refused the doctor's diagnosis and treatment afterwards, because she was afraid that the doctor would diagnose her as a miscarriage. ”

Hua Mian had been observing the changes in Rong Laiqing's face when she was speaking, and sure enough, her calm expression gradually cracked, and finally she said in disbelief: "I really underestimated you." However, what if she is pregnant with the emperor's child? You don't think I murdered her out of jealousy, do you? ”

Hua Mian shook his head: "What you meant before is already obvious, the emperor is not your love." So, of course, you don't kill out of jealousy. ”

"Then why did I kill Yi'er?"

"Because Yi'er is no longer under your control, you are afraid that one day she will ruin your plans."

"It's just that I was favored by the emperor and conceived a child, why is it not under my control? Besides, what ulterior do I have to do? ”

"Concubine Qingshu, don't go around the bush with me. You know why the emperor would favor you. You must have once let Yi'er drink the avoidance decoction, but she didn't know how she was confused, and ended up pregnant with a child she shouldn't have conceived. Not only that, but she also dared to poison the beloved pets of this palace. If it happens, you will be implicated. And the most unbearable thing for you is that she fell in love with the emperor, and you are afraid that one day she will betray you. ”

Rong Laiqing smiled slightly, but the smile did not reach the bottom of her eyes: "Concubine Burma's imagination is too rich. ”

"If you don't admit it, I will immediately inform the emperor that Yi'er was pregnant, and then I am afraid that your fate will be the same as that of your country."

Rong Laiqing's eyes suddenly swelled with coldness, she didn't expect Hua Mian to know so many things, but how did she know?

As if knowing what she was thinking, Hua Mian said solemnly: "Rong Laichuan once saved my life. In order to repay the favor, I will not tell the emperor about your secret payment. But if your private plans hurt the people I care about, I won't stand idly by. ”

At this moment, Rong Laiqing was completely shocked. She didn't expect that she knew all the little actions she had done secretly, what kind of woman was this?

Seeing that she was speechless, Hua Mian said again: "I guess, you should marry Nanxiu not only for harmony, there must be a more important purpose, but now that Beiyu has died in the country, and Rong Laichuan has escaped, it is better for you to go away and fly away to be a pair of fairy couples." ”

Rong Laiqing's expression softened for a moment, but in the end she smiled coolly and was noncommittal.

There was only one answer to her reaction, and that was that it wasn't over yet, and she couldn't leave yet. She couldn't help sighing: "It seems that Rong Laichuan is not dead. ”

But I heard Rong Laiqing say: "Since you know everything, I won't hide it from you." Ah Chuan has no intention of returning to the country now, but he has no long things, and it is inconvenient to take me, so let me continue to stay in the palace. When he starts a new stove, not to mention the prince of Fuqi, at least he can support his family, I will leave. As for the emperor, we will not harm his heart, you can rest assured. ”

"Is that true?"

"There is no lie."

After being silent for a long time, Hua Mian suddenly said: "Yi'er has been with you for so many years, and you can be loyal to you, have you ever thought of killing me at this moment?" ”

Rong Laiqing twitched her eyelids lightly, put on her usual lazy posture and said: "I won't tell you the truth, I had this idea at the first moment, but after weighing it again, I felt that it was completely unnecessary. ”

"Oh?"

Rong Laiqing played with the chess pieces in his hand and said: "If you wanted to expose me, you would have exposed it a long time ago, so I believe that you are really repaying Ah Chuan's life-saving grace." What's more, if I kill you, the emperor will inevitably investigate to the end, and at that time, I will really lose more than I gain. ”

Hua Mian stared into her eyes for a long time, and when she raised her eyes to look at herself indifferently, she actually felt a trembling in her heart. She was suddenly very curious, why did Emperor Beiyu send her to kiss in the first place? Why did Rong Laichuan let it go?

When she asked this question, Rong Laiqing's eyes were a little thoughtful, but she quickly replied quite sincerely: "Because I know how to charm, I can hook the emperor into a daze, and then get useful information for Beiyu to complete their grand wish to dominate the world." ”

This answer was both expected and unexpected by Hua Myanmar. She expected that Beiyu's purpose in sending her to make peace was not simple, and she also expected that she was outstanding, but she didn't expect her to be demagogic.

"Then, have you ever used a charm on the emperor?"

Rong Laiqing smiled charmingly when she heard this, but it really made Hua Mian's heart shake: "If I really used this method on him, there would be no such person as Concubine Mian in this harem." At this moment, I'm afraid you are still living a free life in Dongli. Oh no, you may have married Ji Yunye, and now you have become the queen of Dongli. ”

These words directly poked at the tip of Hua Mian's heart, making her feel a sense of sadness about the impermanence of life. Sure enough, it is a cycle of cause and effect, the origin and extinction of the cause, and everything has its own fixed number in the underworld.

Before leaving Yikun Palace, Hua Mian reminded: "I hope you will never use this method against the emperor in the future." Also, if I behave jealously in front of the emperor, he should be very happy. Therefore, it may not be easy for you to meet the emperor in the future. ”

Rong Laiqing smiled slightly: "Please." ”

After leaving Yikun Palace, Hua Mian went to Zhuxin Garden again. She found that all the unhappiness in her heart would be much easier as long as she poured out to Qianyuyu. So much so that she suddenly realized that she had no secrets in front of her. That's fine, at least one person shares his joys, sorrows, and sorrows, and he won't feel too lonely in this deep palace.
