After Lin Yuan returned to the palace, she was not sure, this time the matter was completely beyond her expectations, and she was not in control at all.

The matter of Lintoe Palace seems to have come to an end, but it is far from over.

The emperor has ordered the poisoning of Concubine Xiang and the conviction of Concubine Rou, except for Lin Yuan, the queen and Concubine Xiang and the confidants and palace people present that day, the rest of the people did not reveal a single star. Everyone is talking about Chu Huaxin, who is guilty of being convicted in Xianfu Palace, and Bai Xiuwei, who is dead, and they don't know about the fact that Yongshou Palace was suddenly searched by the queen and then grounded in the palace, so they can only guess and spread many versions of rumors.

It wasn't until three days later that the holy decree on this matter was transmitted to Changxin Palace when the concubines went to ask the queen for peace - Xiurong Chu plotted to kill the emperor's heir, abolished the title, and was punished in the cold palace for life. Concubine Rou Shen secretly hid poisons, and deprived her title and demoted Zhaoyuan.

As for Concubine Xiang's poisoning, there was no mention of it in the holy decree.

When Lin Yuan got up, he saw the shock that everyone expected. The concubines of Yongshou Palace, such as Mao Concubine, etc., were all panicked in their expressions; Except for them, the people next to them were gloating, but they didn't dare to hide their mouths and snicker because the emperor had just lost an imperial heir.

You can't laugh at laughter, but you can say something from the side. Liu Jieyu said with a disgusted face: "In the past, I thought that the Chu family was a respectful person, but I couldn't imagine that she could do a big crime that violated women's morality, how could she be worthy of the emperor's great kindness!" After that, he raised his eyebrows and snorted coldly at Chu Huasheng.

Liu Jieyu was pressed on her head by Chu Huaxin for two or three years, and her old enemy was defeated once, how could she not breathe a bad breath. Chu Huashang was naturally very faceless because of her sister's crime, and she lowered her head and didn't dare to distinguish half a point.

A Wanyi sitting in front of her pinched the handkerchief and sighed, biting her lip and saying, "Rou...... Shen Zhaoyuan, how could she be such a person! How could she hide drugs......"

As soon as she said this, the hall fell silent.

After a while, I don't know who said quietly: "Could it be that Zhang Wanyi thinks that Shen Zhaoyuan is wronged?" ”

Although Zhang Wanyi has a kind and simple personality, she has been in the palace for several years, and she instantly heard the meaning of this, and hurriedly waved her hand and said: "No, no, the concubine is just stunned, and she doesn't dare to question the holy decree......"

In her panicked explanation and waving her hand, the concubines in the hall were silent with different expressions. Even Liu Jieyu, who was busy counting the Chu clan just now, changed her complexion, bowed her head and pondered.

It was only at this time that Lin Yuan felt the sadness and gloom emanating from the hearts of these flower-like young concubines, although most of them were already hardened as iron.

Shen Yunrong's charge of secretly hiding poison was told to the Sixth Palace, and everyone understood what this crime meant.

In fact, everyone knew that Shen Yunrong could not be a real good person, because there was no room for a bodhisattva in this palace. But seeing that she never does evil to others and never participates in any dirty things on weekdays, everyone thinks that she is at least an "indisputable" person, at least more gentle and virtuous than others, and a person who will only protect herself and will not take the initiative.

But obviously, what kind of person Shen Yunrong really is, and the gap between him and everyone's original impression is simply earth-shattering. The court was more cruel than they had imagined.

There are concubines in the palace who are seriously ill, miscarriage, and die violently every year, and there are countless palace people who will not be investigated for the cause of death. Everyone understands that there are devils in this palace, and most of the beautiful women are harboring evil intentions, and it is common to search for poisons that should not exist from any corner of the palace such as various palaces, the Six Bureaus, and the Ye Ting...... It's good now, the things found in the Yongshou Palace are really eye-opening, what arsenic hook kiss broken intestine grass and the like are incomparable to the strange poisons of the Western Regions. Is Concubine Rou Niangniang hiding these things in order to fight poison with poison and cure incurable diseases? It's still a medicine mouse!

Regardless of whether Shen Yunrong had ever done anything to anyone, just looking at what she had prepared was terrifying. From this day on, her reputation for virtue has been shattered.

Zhang Wanyi's face was still depressed, she had been helped by Concubine Rou's efforts, and she really felt that Concubine Rou was much better than the people next to her, but now she was ...... couldn't help but feel a little frightened, but fortunately she didn't favor her, and the two didn't get too close. Otherwise, I wouldn't have survived today.

There are many innocent people in the palace, such as Zhang Wanyi and Liu Jieyu, but there are many people like Lin Yuan who are too protective and have a deep city. Concubine Wen, who had long been disgraced, saw that everyone was silent, and sneered: "People just made mistakes, and they didn't just change people from now on!" No matter how you look, everyone doesn't know Shen Zhaoyuan. ”

Concubine Wen was very arrogant when she was favored, but now that she has fallen out of favor, her temperament is even colder, and she disdains to interact with others. She rarely speaks in front of people, but today she is a rarity.

Xu Jieyu took over and said: "Concubine Wen is very right. ”

People who fall out of favor will not be treated respectfully, but what Concubine Wen said today is wonderful, and Xu Jieyu feels that she has been taught. Liu Jieyu laughed at herself when she heard this, it turned out that the concubine had already seen it in her heart, no matter how gentle and benevolent Concubine Rou was, she couldn't deceive her, and only a nerd like herself would feel shocked after the incident with Concubine Rou......

Besides, even if Concubine Rou is really virtuous, she shouldn't think she is virtuous in her heart!

All the faces were of different colors. After such a long time, the queen raised her hand and said lightly: "Today's matter has passed like this, don't discuss it again." ”

The concubines hurriedly claimed to be.

The queen looked a little tired, and exhaled slightly: "It's all gone." ”

The crowd did not want to stay longer, and retreated one after another.

The air at the end of August is crisp and not as cold as October, making it the most comfortable day of the year. However, Xu Ronghua, who had just stepped out of Changxin Palace, was clenching his arms, as if his body was very cold.

She didn't dare to look up to let people see the panic on her face, and her wonderful eyes were hidden behind her fine forehead, cautiously looking at the people around her. Suddenly, she saw Hui Guiji, dressed in a cherry purple fine-striped cloud embroidered shirt, walking past her.

Thinking about it, he hurriedly stepped forward to support Hui Guiji's arm, and said warmly: "I heard that Guiji was wronged a few days ago......

Because Lin Yuan was wronged, the emperor rewarded her with gold, silver and jade in the past few days to appease, and the boxes of silk and satin almost collapsed the small treasury of Jingyue Pavilion. Everyone understands that Lin Yuan's favor will definitely go to a higher level in the future, and there are people like Xu Ronghua who take the initiative to win over.

Xu Ronghua is a kind and affectionate person.

However, Lin Yuan didn't think that Xu Ronghua's purpose was the same as Xu Jieyu yesterday.

The woman's warm words of concern still rang in her ears: "...... I'll just say that Gui Jifu has a big life, and it's not something that the Chu family can slander. The Chu family's dismal fate is really deserved, and it is also necessary to let the people in this palace see that Guiji cannot be provoked at will......" said and looked at Lin Yuan's skirt again: "Ah, my sister's cherry purple clothes are a new reward from the emperor, right?" Originally, we couldn't wear such a luxurious color, and it was rare that my sister was the person on the tip of the emperor's heart. My sister is so blessed,......"

Lin Yuan lowered her head and said, "Cherry purple can only be used above the fourth grade, and the concubine is overstepping." ”

"What an overstep!" Xu Ronghua hurriedly said: "As long as it is not too out of line, and it is given by the emperor himself, where is there any taboo!" According to me, my sister can only afford cherry purple with a gorgeous appearance, but if she wears it on someone else, she can't do it! ”

Lin Yuan smiled and didn't speak.

In fact, she had never gone over the line before. Whatever identity should be, Lin Yuan did this in her previous life, and it is her principle that people can't catch mistakes. But after what happened to Concubine Rou, she suddenly felt that she had to change.

In this harem, dripping water is not the best strategy......

Leaking a drop or two at any time will make life easier.

Besides, Lin Yuan hates respect and humility the most, and the clothes she likes should be worn without scruples, for fear of what they are.

Xu Ronghua kept holding her wrist, and the two of them walked in the direction of Mirror Moon Pavilion. In the blink of an eye, when he arrived at a fork in the road on the edge of the Four Seasons Pavilion, Lin Yuan stopped: "Ronghua Niangniang, this place is Yongshou Palace to the west, and Jingyue Pavilion to the east." The concubine said goodbye to her mother here. ”

Saying a salute, I don't want to leave room for it.

Xu Ronghua's face was a little embarrassed: "Guiji, today is a high day, I am not in a hurry to go back, it is good to talk together." ”

"It's not a coincidence, the concubine will go to Jianzhang Palace to serve later."

Xu Ronghua hated it so much that he couldn't wait for a while, but he still squeezed out a smile and said, "Then let's do it another day." Don't hide it from my sister, now that Zhaoyuan Niangniang has been belittled, the life of Yongshou Palace is not easy. My sister's holy family is thick, and my sister will have no face in the future, so she can only rely on her sister to help. ”

After speaking, he took a handkerchief and wiped the corner of his eye.

Seeing her like this, Lin Yuan hurriedly sighed and said, "Ronghua, you ...... Alas, I'm just the daughter of a small household, a low-level position, where can I compare with my sister and you, let alone help......" said and turned his head to hold the palace maid's hand and pulled away: "It's windy here, Ronghua Niangniang should go back quickly." ”

Lin Yuan slipped away in the blink of an eye.

Xu Ronghua's palace maid jumped to her feet angrily: "What's the matter!" Born from a humble background, he dares to be disrespectful to his mother! Saying that, he persuaded Xu Ronghua: "Niangniang doesn't have to worry about her, according to the slave maid, she is a person who can't be on the stage, and when she sees Yongshou Palace losing power, she is afraid of being implicated, and she wants to take the opportunity to step on Niangniang's head." ”

Xu Ronghua was no longer angry. She sighed and said, "Yingyue, do you think she really just doesn't want to be friends with me, or does she see through us and test her?" ”

"Mother?" Yingyue was still scolding Lin Yuan, and at this time, she suddenly remembered the purpose of her mother. couldn't help but be surprised: "How is this possible, Niangniang, you are obviously trying to win her over, and there are many people who have done this like Niangniang these days." ”

"In the Lintoe Palace that day, except for the queen and Concubine Xiang, she was the only one." Xu Ronghua pressed his forehead: "You say, does she know something?" ”
