Chapter 53: The Road Turns
Ying Yun will go to the queen's palace every morning and evening to say goodbye, very well-behaved, rain or shine, and she has been more diligent these days.
Ying Man looked at Ying Yun's diligence, thinking that she had finally figured out that she had to rely on herself to get the king's favor, and if she couldn't do it, she would come to herself again.
"Envoy Yun, I heard that yesterday you went to ask for a meeting with the king." Winman asked nonchalantly as he grinded his nails.
"I thought the king was wounded, so I went to visit." Ying Yun responded.
"The king likes to talk to you, and he talks for most of the hour."
"It's all the concubine's fault, and I forget the time as soon as I speak." Ying Yun said as she made a gesture to kneel.
"That's it. I don't mean anything else, it's just that the king's injuries have not healed, and I can't stand the tiredness, and I'm afraid that the king won't be able to rest well. Pay attention next time. Ying Man waved his hand and said.
"The concubine knows." Ying Yun said as she stood up again before she knelt down.
At this time, Caixia hurriedly walked over from the side hall and whispered a few words in Yingman's ear. Winman nodded. Caixia hurried out again.
"It's not early, you can go back and rest, don't just stay here with me." Winman issued an eviction order.
Ying Yun didn't dare to stay longer, stood up and blessed her body, and said, "If you are free, I will come to see my aunt again." ”
"Don't aunt, my aunt's scream, I live in a palace, and now there are few people, and there are more people in the harem, so it doesn't sound like a word, so what should I call it." Ying Man said lightly.
"Ah, Queen." Ying Yun saluted, retreated out of the main hall of Fengping Hall with small broken steps, and as soon as she went out, she saw Caixia hurriedly going to the backyard with a basin of blood.
Walking out of the courtyard of Fengping Palace, Ying Yun thought about it as she walked and said, "Caiyue, did you see what Caixia was carrying just now?" ”
"See, a basin of blood." Caiyue replied puzzled.
"It wasn't blood, it was a basin full of blood, and there was no blood mixed with water." Ying Yun said with great certainty.
"It's true, the slave was negligent." Caiyue bowed her head and admitted her mistake.
Ying Yun didn't answer Caiyue's words, but continued to think and said, "There is no one in the queen's palace who is injured, why is there so much blood, or what is the use of asking for so much blood?" ”
"It's really strange for the chief envoy to say this, do you want the slave to go and investigate."
Ying Yun turned around and looked at Caiyue and admonished, "Be careful, don't be discovered." ”
"Well, slaves know how to measure." Caiyue said smartly.
Ying Yun slowly returned to the dormitory, since the seal of Yun Chang Envoy, there are few people in the palace, the king gave the Changle Palace to himself, although the palace is a little remote, but the victory is to live alone.
And she likes this Changle Palace, she likes the name of the light hall, and she has been alone in the harem for a long time.
Not long after Ying Yun entered the Changle Palace, before she could drink her saliva, Caiyue hurriedly ran in, and her expression was still a little flustered.
Ying Yun hurriedly waved away the other maids and attendants, leaving the master and servant alone, and only then did Caiyue speak in the hall.
"Envoy, I have inquired, the blood is for raising insects. And I've heard that the queen's palace has recently asked for a lot of qi and blood medicines. Caiyue said with a little trembling.
Ying Yun frowned and slowly thought about the connection of these words, could it be that it is human blood, so she needs medicine to replenish qi and blood, and the queen is using human blood to raise insects? Which one is this?
Caiyue saw that Ying Yun was thinking about things and didn't speak. Only then did he shudder, "Long Envoy, I'm afraid this is a witchcraft." ”
Ying Yun was taken aback, and turned her head to look at Caiyue, "Do you know?" ”
"The slave doesn't know, but I heard my grandmother say something similar when I was a child, my grandmother's grandmother's family is from Chu State, and at that time they had a woman who fell in love with a prodigal son, and in order to keep him, she raised a worm with her own blood and fed it to the man, and then the man really stayed. It wasn't until the man died that bugs were found in his corpse, and his body was hollowed out. Caiyue said and trembled with fear.
Ying Yun's face changed, and after a while, she lowered her voice and said seriously, "Don't mention today's matter to anyone, no matter what the queen is doing, we are from one place after all, and if something happens to her, we may not be implicated." There was a warning in his voice.
"Slave maid...... The slave knows what is important. Caiyue said with her head lowered in fear.
Wei Poppy went to the study of Qingyang Hall in the morning, and angrily swept all the things on the table to the ground.
"Kangshou, you quickly find out who is behind it. I want to know the truth of the matter. ”
"Oh, my subordinates are going."
After Kang Shou left, Kang Ming brought a bowl of lotus heart tea to Wei Poppy, "King, take a sip of tea and extinguish the fire." ”
"If the three of them don't deal with any of them, I'm afraid it will be difficult to gamble on the leisurely mouth of those elders, and the lightest criminal law of the three is Sun Bin's punishment. Let's do this first. With a wave of his pen, he approved the movement.
"Your Majesty, have you thought about it?" Kang Ming hesitantly took the recital.
"Now I can help Ruyi delay for a while." Wei Poppy said helplessly.
Soon, the news of Sun Bin's execution reached Pang Juan's ears.
Pang Juan was practicing archery on the martial arts training ground in the mansion at the time, and immediately shot three arrows in a row, the arrows hit the bull's-eye, and then threw the bow casually, "hahaha" laughed and returned to the study.
Qi Sheng, a doorman in the study, was already waiting in the study, "Congratulations to the general." ”
"Where does the joy come from?" Although Pang Juan asked, the smile on his face couldn't be hidden.
"The king is really like the general's deduction, and in the end he avoided the important and chose the lightest one."
"Originally, I didn't expect the king to execute Ruyi, and of course I didn't want the king to kill Ruiqing, so my ultimate goal was Sun Bin. Of course, it would be better if it was in addition to Ruyi by the way. Pang Juan said with a smile.
"And what about the Queen?"
"If she wants to deal with Ruyi, it's up to her own ability." Pang Juan said with the corners of his mouth hooked.
The two looked at each other and laughed out loud.
Ruyi didn't know that the matter was getting more and more serious, and he didn't expect that this was a serial set, not only for himself, but also for Su Ruiqing and Sun Bin.
Ruyi and Xia He finally suffered at night, and the back corner door sounded on time with a cat meow and three knocks, and then Ruyi responded with three knocks on the door and a cat meow.
Stuffed into the crack of the door were a few pieces of pastry, and a flint.
"It's getting colder, and you can keep warm with a flint." Ying Yun said outside.
"What's going on out there now?" Ruyi took the flint and asked.
"The situation is getting more and more complicated, and Mr. Sun and his wife have been involved, and Mr. Sun has already been sentenced."
"What? How so? ”
Then Ying Yun briefly told Ruyi about the events of the past few days. Ruyi was shocked when she heard this.
Ruyi made up his mind that he could no longer sit still. They were caught in a hurry and didn't bring anything out. Now I can only try to spell it. "Can you help me go to the brocade village in the south of the city to give me a word? Let's just say, the cloth in the north is gone, but is there anything in the south? ”
Ying Yun responded: "Okay, I'll bring it." ”
