Chapter 128: Yi Xiuyi has an accident
Hua Qingrao and Hui Xiuyuan seemed to have found a rare confidant, fighting game by game, playing chess and forgetting to sleep and eat.
By the time the last game was over, it was already dark, so Hua Qingrao simply stayed in Linhua Hall for dinner.
As soon as the palace people removed the meal, Xue Kite walked in with a solemn face, leaned over and leaned over Hua Qingrao's ear and said, "Niangniang, Yi Xiuyi was sent to the cold palace for stealing the things that everyone gave to Concubine Zhang Xian. โ
Hui Xiuyuan looked at Hua Qingrao's face and became a little ugly, and she asked clearly, "What's wrong?" But what happened? โ
"Yi Xiuyi was sent to the cold palace for stealing the things that everyone gave to Concubine Zhang Xian." Hua Qingrao repeated Snow Kite's words again.
Hui Xiuyuan was suddenly shocked, and muttered with some confusion: "Didn't she catch a chamberlain who smuggled items out of the palace yesterday?" โ
Xue Kite paused for a moment and said busily: "When Yi Xiuyi was searched for things, she also said that those things were taken from a chamberlain who tried to smuggle items out of the palace, but she didn't have time to tell everyone yet, but all the guards on duty yesterday said that there was no such situation. โ
"How so? I listened to them clearly last night. Hui Xiuyuan frowned.
Hua Qingrao's eyes sank, "Niangniang, do you know which palace attendant was arrested?" โ
"I don't know about this position." Hui Xiuyuan shook her head, and her eyes suddenly lit up, "But I know who knows about this." โ
She turned her head and instructed the palace people: "Go and invite the Mao guards who came to deliver things today." โ
The palace man was just about to leave, but she hurriedly added: "It's best not to let others know." โ
"Yes." The palace people left in response.
Hui Xiuyuan turned her head and looked at Hua Qingrao, and they both saw the shadow of conspiracy in each other's eyes.
In the Yongshou Palace, Concubine Zhang Xian stared at the leading guard who was kneeling on the ground, and said angrily: "You said that Hui Xiuyuan and Ying Jieyu also know about this?!" โ
The leading guard had never thought that a woman's anger would be so terrifying, but at this time, he looked at Concubine Zhang Xian's face distorted by anger, and his body trembled uncontrollably.
"When I took Mao Ziyi to see everyone last night, I happened to run into Hui Xiuyuan and Ying Jieyu. I forgot about it as soon as I was busy, and asked my mother to forgive me. โ
Concubine Zhang Xian's mind was so chaotic at this time that she couldn't think about how to scold him. She has always had a holiday with Ying Jieyu, and Hui Xiuyuan is now pregnant, so they will definitely attack her if they have this handle.
If the two of them join forces with Yi Xiuyi, who has just been beaten into the cold palace, then everything she has done today will become an unscrupulous and vicious scheming for everyone.
At that time, even if she is pregnant with a dragon fetus, and she will have her father as a backer, she will not be punished too much, but she will definitely fall out of favor in front of everyone. If so, then what's the use of her wanting this child.
She raised her head sharply and commanded, "Come Shun, go to the cold palace quickly!" Deal with Yi Xiuyi before Hui Xiuyuan arrives! Just go! โ
Lai Shun looked at her eyes full of unstoppable killing intent, her body shuddered, and she hurriedly turned around and walked out.
Concubine Zhang Xian looked around the hall with cold eyes, if this matter is not handled well, then the people in the entire hall will be buried with her.
She returned to her former lofty appearance, waved her hand and said to the leading guard: "Get up, even if you talk to the position in time, otherwise even if you have ten heads, it will not be enough to cut off!" โ
The leading guard hurriedly thanked him: "Humble Xie Niangniang spares his life." โ
"Let's go down." Concubine Zhang Xian said impatiently.
As soon as the leading guard heard this, he didn't have time to think about why she let herself go so easily, so he hurriedly got up and walked out quickly.
The guard Zhang San glanced at the back of the leading guard leaving, and asked, "Niangniang's matter has not been resolved, so you let him go like this?" โ
Concubine Zhang Xian glanced at him, her eyes were full of sharp and cold light. She avoided answering his words, and changed the conversation and said, "It's been a year since you were transferred to the position of this guard by your father. โ
Zhang San hurriedly lowered his head and flattered: "Niangniang has a good memory, it's been almost a year." โ
Concubine Zhang Xian rubbed the sharp armor on her fingers and sneered: "You haven't been promoted for a year, and you are really incapable." โ
Zhang San's smile suddenly froze on his face, if he hadn't seen that he still had to rely on her to find a way out in the palace, he would have no good face for her, and he couldn't wait to pull the two ear scrapers over. If this girl doesn't teach her a lesson, she will kick her nose in the face.
Although he thought so in his heart, he still laughed dryly twice on his face, and said respectfully: "What Niangniang said is true." โ
Concubine Zhang Xian put down her hand, looked at him coldly, and said, "Now that your opportunity to be promoted and make a fortune has come, it depends on whether you can grasp it." โ
When Zhang Sanyi heard this, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said: "Niang Niang said that is, I must do my best to grasp the humble position." โ
Concubine Zhang Xian looked at him with high morale, and the corners of her mouth hooked, "Let the leading guards, the guards on duty that day, and all the guards who know about this matter keep their mouths shut forever." โ
She stared at him with playful eyes, "If you seize this opportunity, the position of the leading guard will be yours." โ
Zhang San looked at Concubine Zhang Xian's charming appearance, and couldn't help swallowing a mouthful of saliva. His heart froze, and the image of her being pressed against the bed must have been a good thing in his mind.
"I will definitely seize this opportunity." He said firmly.
Concubine Zhang Xian naturally didn't know the nasty things he was thinking about at the moment, so she waved her hand: "Go!" โ
"Retire from your duties!" Zhang San glanced at Concubine Zhang Xian's chest with nostalgia, turned around and walked out.
Snow Kite stepped forward slowly, "Niangniang, can he do it like this?" โ
Concubine Zhang Xian stood up, stared at the place where Zhang San disappeared and said: "This is the kind of person who will do anything for a little profit, and such a person is precisely the best person to control." โ

After Mao Ziyi's inspection, his stomach was already hungry. He was just about to go back for two bites of food when he was stopped by a palace man.
When he heard that it was Hui Xiuyuan who called him over, he immediately left all his hunger behind, and hurriedly followed the palace people to Linhua Palace.
As soon as he walked into the Linhua Palace, he felt that the atmosphere inside was a little wrong.
Before he could speak, he heard Hui Xiuyuan's cold voice ask, "Do you know who the chamberlain was caught by Yi Xiuyi yesterday?" โ
Mao Ziyi saw that her face was slightly anxious, and he didn't dare to delay any longer, so he hurriedly said: "It's a chamberlain named Laishun." โ
"Come on." Hua Qingrao repeated it in her mouth, and suddenly exclaimed: "Lai Shun is not from Concubine Zhang Xian's palace!" โ
Hui Xiuyuan was also so shocked that she couldn't help covering her mouth with her hands, "In this way, this is a play directed and acted by Concubine Zhang Xian." โ
Hua Qingrao raised her head and looked at her, and something suddenly came to mind in her mind. She jerked to her feet and asked, "Does anyone else know that you know about this?" โ
Hui Xiuyuan's heart tightened, her face sank, and she said slowly: "Those guards know that they didn't testify to Yi Xiuyi, so..."
She also suddenly thought of it in her mind, stood up and said urgently: "Go to the cold palace!" โ
Before Mao Ziyi could react to anything, he saw the two of her running out quickly. He didn't bother to think about anything, so he hurriedly followed.
