Chapter 388: Dispute
Anyone who is at risk will be suspicious.
Wu Xue'er didn't underestimate Tong Yao too much, she was not a brainless woman, but she was restrained by the passive situation in front of her.
She was grounded, robbed, and disliked...... In other words, everyone will feel scared and uneasy.
Wu Xue'er knew that Tong Yao might be suspicious. But she wasn't worried at all, even if she was reluctant, it didn't matter, as long as she stimulated her a little, she would still panic and fall into the trap.
Wu Xue'er thought confidently, leaving this long dark night to Tong Yao alone to digest it slowly.
If the master is confused, if the minions around him can remind him in time, it will not make things worse.
However, most of the palace people around Tong Yao have become Wu Xue'er's cronies.
They knew very well in their hearts that it was their own bad luck to follow a master like Tong Yao who lost power. Since you admit that you are unlucky, you have to start thinking of other ways.
Master Wu is more favored than the master, and smarter than the master, if he can follow her, he will definitely have a good life in the future.
Tong Yao hesitated, not knowing whether she should give it a try. She has nothing left but this life now.
In order to stimulate her, Wu Xue'er no longer greeted the Internal Affairs Office, and let them snub Chu Xiu Palace everywhere.
The minions all saw the wind and rudder, and when they saw that she didn't speak, they continued to treat Chu Xiugong's example harshly.
However, after three or five days of hard work, there was no charcoal to burn in Chuxiu Palace.
The palace maids were shivering from the cold, and Tong Yao suffered even more, she didn't even have a soup woman to warm her hands, her hands and feet were cold, so she could only sit on the bed and wrap herself in a thick quilt to keep warm.
"Mother, it's not a way to go on like this...... It's better for the slave to go and invite Wu Niangniang to come over. ”
Tong Yao raised her eyebrows when she heard this. Wu Xue'er was so cold to her, it must be because of what happened last time. She may be angry, angry that she is not obedient, angry that she does not appreciate it.
"If my sister wanted to come, she would have come a long time ago, if she didn't want to, why should I beg!" Tong Yao responded lightly, her tone full of helplessness.
"I'm like the rat crossing the street now...... No one cares, and no one is pitiful. ”
It doesn't matter if Wu Xue'er doesn't come, it's okay for the Internal Affairs Office to be sloppy and harsh, but now even Taiyuan doesn't send anyone over. Before, no matter how ruthless Meng Xilan was, she would ask the imperial doctor to come over on time and check her pulse.
It seems that Meng Xilan is ruthless this time, and she will be left to fend for herself.
When the palace maid heard that she had no problem with her, she stopped persuading.
She only needs to spend money to buy the little eunuch who delivers water to deliver a message to Wu Xue'er.
Wu Xue'er is very clear about the affairs of Chuxiu Palace, and she doesn't need the palace people to report it at all.
"Niangniang, this little master Tong has suffered a lot in the past few days. Look, isn't it time? Mingxiu, who was beside Wu Xue'er, asked cautiously.
After Tong Yao gave birth, her body became very weak and she fell ill at every turn. Her life is still useful to Niangniang, so don't do anything else.
Wu Xueer was dyeing her nails, the bright red color, and it was very dazzling to look at. She blew unhurriedly, trying to make the juice on her nails dry out quickly, "What's the hurry?" How can she make up her mind if she doesn't suffer a little more? ”
What she cares about is this bureau, not Tong Yao's situation.
"Don't worry, Hongu knows it. Now in this palace, apart from this palace, who will pay attention to her? ”
Mingxiu lowered her head when she heard this: "What Niangniang said is true." ”
However, just when she was full of confidence, someone suddenly took care of Chu Xiu Palace's affairs.
This person is Song Qing'er, she and Tong Yao live together in the position of Jieyu, but a new favorite and an old person.
Song Qing'er has always been low-key, and never took the initiative to get involved in the disturbances in the palace. For the first time, she didn't want to meddle with other people's business.
Song Qing'er instructed the palace people to send their share to Chuxiu Palace. The palace people only delivered the things, and didn't say anything else.
Seeing this, Tong Yao wondered in her heart and didn't understand what she meant.
She and Song Qing'er have only met a few times, and they have no friendship at all. She was so puzzling that she would lend a helping hand.
Song Qinger's behavior also made Wu Xue'er a little panicked.
Song Qing'er has no alliance in the palace, she never gangs up with others, but she is the most face-saving person in front of Meng Xilan, is it ...... Could this be what Meng Xilan meant?
Wu Xue'er thought about it, and felt slightly anxious.
It was not easy for her to think of this plan, but she couldn't let Meng Xilan come out and interfere, which ruined her painstaking management.
In the afternoon of that day, Wu Xueer came to Chuxiu Palace again.
Tong Yao was drinking soup, the stove in the house was blazing, and her face was flushed.
"I haven't seen her for a few days, but my sister's complexion has improved a lot." Wu Xue'er stopped her from getting up and saluting, but sat quietly next to her, glanced at the chicken soup in her hand, and asked tentatively, "This soup smells so good." ”
Tong Yao nodded: "This was sent by Sister Qing'er." ”
"Oh?" Wu Xueer raised her eyebrows in surprise, as if she was puzzled: "I really didn't expect that my sister and Qing'er's sister have such a good relationship?" ”
Tong Yao put down the spoon and shook her head silently.
"Sister, don't make fun of me, Sister Qing'er and I are just general friends."
Wu Xue'er smiled and said, "How come? I think she's very good to you. ”
"Actually...... To be honest, I don't know much either. Tong Yao was also very puzzled in her heart.
Wu Xue'er heard this, took her chicken soup, sent it to the tip of her nose and smelled it: "It smells so good, there won't be any problems, right?" ”
Tong Yao was slightly stunned, and only said, "No, right?" ”
Although she didn't believe it in her heart, her appetite was lost in an instant.
Wu Xue'er shook her head deliberately: "Sister, this is an extraordinary time, how can you be so gullible to trust others." That Song Qing'er is the emperor's new favorite, she has always been arrogant, don't you know...... Therefore, it is better to be on guard against everything. ”
When Tong Yao heard this, she hurriedly instructed the palace maid to take the chicken soup away. "I know, thank you sister for your concern."
In fact, she didn't believe it in her heart. Song Qing'er has no grievances with her, there is no need to harm her.
Wu Xue'er looked at her face quietly, observed her expression and said, "My sister won't be angry with me, right?" ”
Tong Yao hurriedly shook his head: "How come?" No, no. ”
Wu Xue'er held her hand and patted her gently: "I just don't want to push my sister too hard." ”
Tong Yao's eyes flashed slightly: "I know." ”
Her attitude is still docile.
Wu Xue'er muttered: "What I told my sister last time, how did my sister think about it?" ”
Tong Yao bit her lip, still looking embarrassed. "Sister, let me think again."
Wu Xue'er's hand tightened: "Think about it, when do you still think about it?" Don't you want to give Meng Xilan a good look before the emperor comes back? ”
She couldn't control her emotions for a while, and her tone became anxious.
Tong Yao frowned in pain: "Sister, don't worry......"
Wu Xue'er saw that it was too soft, so she simply lowered her face and said, "Sister, you must think about it." This idea is just a small favor from Song Qing'er. Maybe she's laughing at her as a joke in her bedchamber right now. ”
"I'm kind enough to help you, but you don't appreciate it. People just give you that little favor, and you feel that this palace can accommodate you again. ”
Wu Xue'er spoke sharply, ready to count her down.
Tong Yao's face was red and white for a while, but it was not a color for a while.
"The second prince is gone, and you are confined here, if it weren't for the palace to plan for you and shelter you from the wind and rain, how could you live peacefully until now?"
Tong Yao saw that she was in a hurry, and she was even more surprised in her heart: "Sister, why do you need to speak so harshly? I know I'm stupid, I'm not good, but I haven't done anything to be sorry for my sister. ”
Wu Xue'er saw that she still dared to contradict herself, so she was so angry that her face changed and said, "Okay, since you have such an idea, then the palace doesn't have to worry about you anymore." You can do it yourself. ”
She put down the cruel words, which made Tong Yao panic.
"Sister, don't be angry, I don't mean anything else......"
Wu Xue'er glared at her and said, "I'll give you one last chance, will you listen to me or not?" ”
Now, she doesn't want to hide her scheming anymore.
She just wants to make Meng Xilan look good, even if she can't stumble her, she has to make her and the emperor have a dislike in their hearts.
"Sister...... Don't force me ......" Hearing her say this, Tong Yao's heart became even more afraid.
Wu Xue'er snorted coldly: "Okay, this palace will not force you again in the future, you yourself will slowly feel sorry for yourself in this cold palace." ”
When she said this, she brushed her sleeves away.
Tong Yao was stunned by the bed, speechless for a long time.
The palace maid stepped forward to persuade her: "Niangniang, the little master Wu is really angry, you hurry up and persuade her......"
Tong Yao suddenly smiled coldly and shook his head: "Forget it, forget it." ”
The look she looked angry just now said it all. What sisters, what friendships...... She's just trying to take advantage of her.
Wu Xue'er returned to the palace angrily, holding her breath in her heart and having nowhere to vent.
Mingxiu saw that she was annoyed, and hurriedly persuaded: "Why is Niangniang so angry? Since Master Tong doesn't appreciate it, then don't help her, what will you do in the future? ”
Wu Xue'er snorted coldly: "What kind of reputation is this Song Qing'er?" ”
If she hadn't suddenly intervened, this matter would have been done a long time ago.
Mingxiu followed the master's back: "Don't be angry, let's take a look." ”
How long can this little master last long? And what kind of calculation did Song Qing'er have?
Wu Xue'er clenched her fists and thought deeply. It seems that I have to find a chance to meet this Song Qing'er for a while.
Without Wu Xue'er's help, Tong Yao's life became more and more difficult, however, just when everyone was at a loss.
Cining Palace got the news that the Internal Affairs Office was mistreating Chuxiu Palace and was in trouble everywhere.
Meng Xilan was not surprised by this. The palace is such a place, those who are in power are happy in everything, and those who lose power are worried about everything.
Jade stepped forward and said, "Niangniang, the little master Tong is self-inflicted, and it is good to let her suffer a little." ”
Meng Xilan glanced at her and said lightly: "She has already learned a lesson, and this palace doesn't want to embarrass her." Let the minions of the Ministry of Internal Affairs not mess around, and do everything according to the rules. She is still Jieyu Niangniang, don't let her have too hard a life. ”
Seeing that the mother was soft-hearted, Jade nodded and said, "Got it." ”
Meng Xilan immediately thought about it and said, "By the way, you go and inquire, who released the news from Chuxiu Palace?" ”
According to Tong Yao's current situation in the palace, it is estimated that no one is willing to help her. However, this time, someone behind her actually came to help and spread the news all the way to Cining Palace, making it difficult for her, the queen mother, to ignore it.
