The mother-in-law is reasonable, in the entire harem, the Huanyi Bureau is the most bitter, how can the palace people in it have silver and two handkerchiefs and gouache and other objects for girls? What's more, soaking in water every day, the handkerchief is washed frequently, how can it be so badly decolorized?

Yuehua only thought about it for a moment, and ordered: "Present the veil to the palace." ”

As soon as he gave the order, Yushu immediately complied, ordered someone to go to the Huanyi Bureau, and after a short time, he took the initiator.

Yuehua took it in her hand, and saw that the material of the veil was good, it was a smooth silk fabric, exactly the same color as the color stained on the phoenix robe, and it was an extremely positive frozen green.

However, Yuehua has studied dyeing a little, and she senses the clues at a glance. The dye should also be of high quality, repeat how many color fixing processes, and finally wash and soak several times. Therefore, although this veil is old, it is still bright, and it is obviously not how to lose color.

Yuehua ordered someone to fetch half a basin of water, soak the veil in it, and rub it repeatedly, the water was still clear, and there was no sign of discoloration. She also instructed someone to take a little bit of the potpourri essence offered by Nan Zhao and drip it into the water, and then rub it with her hands a few times, but there was no change.

The mother-in-law and Yushu didn't understand what they meant, they all felt inexplicable, and they looked at the movements in Yuehua's hands, and they didn't dare to ask more.

Yuehua shook off the water in her hand, Yushu immediately stepped forward, handed a handkerchief to Yuehua to wipe clean, helped her sit down, squatted down and gently rubbed her with balm.

"This palace asks you, this phoenix robe is soaked in water, who else has been close to you and that girl?"

The mother-in-law shook her head: "The work in the bureau is heavy, and everyone is still busy, so there is no special trip to guard, and people come and go, and they don't pay attention." ”

Yuehua already had a plan in her heart, she didn't want to make a noise, and made people panic, and said indifferently: "Since this is already the case, this palace can't fight and kill because of this, even if it kills you, it won't help." For the time being, I will leave you a life, and treat it as a good life for the Queen Mother. ”

The mother-in-law was ecstatic on her face, and she was immediately relieved, and kowtowed: "Thank you Queen Mother, thank Queen Mother." ”

But this sin of dereliction of duty must be punished. After all, the task assigned by this master is not taken to heart, and it must be severely punished in order to set an example. You and that girl go to the Penal Division and get ten boards as a warning. ”

Although he had to hit the board, he managed to save his life, and he gritted his teeth and had a pain in a few days. The mother-in-law was already overjoyed, and kowtowed and walked away with great gratitude.

Yuehua had been thoughtful, turned her head and asked Yushu, "Do you know where to grow buckthorn in our palace?" ”

"Cascara? What is it? Yushu asked strangely.

Yuehua knew that she must not have known it: "It is also called frozen green, and it is a grass plant that can be used to dye clothes." The green stains on this phoenix robe are clearly not dyed by the handkerchief, but someone deliberately made hands and feet, dripping fresh buckthorn juice on it. ”

Yushu couldn't help but be dumbfounded: "No wonder Shicai Niangniang asked who had approached this phoenix robe, so in this way, it was someone who deliberately made it bad and went against you?" ”

Yuehua nodded: "This is because someone can't see that I have a harmonious relationship with the Queen Mother, and he is angry, so he made this move, so that the Queen Mother can blame me for doing things badly." ”

Without Yuehua to figure out who it was, Yushu immediately understood, and spat indignantly: "It's just that the master in the Jiaofang Hall likes to make this kind of unacceptable means." Thanks to your clear understanding, otherwise whoever it is, you wouldn't be so careful and aware of the clues. I can't help but blame it, where is there still a way for the palace people in the Huanyi Bureau to survive? It's just unjust. ”

Yuehua sighed helplessly: "They only care about hurting me, where will they take care of this?" Now that I have done this errand, I have to go to the Queen Mother to take the blame. ”

"Your relationship with the Queen Mother has finally eased, isn't it self-defeating this time? Why don't you hide it, and change it tomorrow for a birthday gift? Yushu suggested with annoyance.

Yuehua stood up and smiled meaningfully: "Originally, it was true that I had done a bad job, but this buckthorn staining was debunked by me, and I am afraid that it will be Concubine Ling if it is self-defeating." ”

"Why?" Yushu blurted out.

Yuehua stretched out her finger and pointed at her forehead: "Use your brains to go, I'm getting lazy and lazy." ”

Yushu thought about it for a while, and suddenly realized that this time is different from the past, now there are only three masters in the palace, and Lan Jieyu is good friends with her own mother, so this matter is obviously the hands and feet of Concubine Ling. Her own mother went to the Queen Mother to bear the guilt of asking for money, in fact, it was equivalent to suing Concubine Ling, and she couldn't tell the difference, otherwise there would be no three hundred taels of silver here.

"Then why don't you take the opportunity to find out the person who is secretly making trouble? When the time comes, the evidence is conclusive, and the army of Na Ling Guifei will be able to be opposed. Yushu said indignantly.

Yuehua shook her head and sighed lightly: "The Queen Mother is biased towards Concubine Ling, even if I can really expose her?" At most, the Queen Mother just reprimanded her. I can't afford to do that much. As long as things get to the point. ”

Yu Shu snorted angrily: "In this way, we can't take that concubine anymore?" Is it possible to let her hurt you again and again? ”

Yuehua shrugged: "She has the support of the queen mother, I have the emperor to enjoy the coolness, and the well water does not interfere with the river water." It doesn't matter if I secretly play some innocuous tricks, I just take a step back. Home and everything is prosperous, the emperor is not embarrassed, and the queen mother does not have to worry about it.

But if she intensifies, like the plague that time, and wants to harm my life, I will never spare her, even if her Shen family is deeply rooted in the court, I will do my best to uproot her. ”

Yushu pouted: "The entire harem is so generous to you, no wonder the minions are convinced." ”

"More and more flattering people, about to become an old fritter." Yuehua smiled: "Go and inquire if there is ratthorn in our palace, and this palace is also targeted." ”

Not long after Yushu went out, he really came back with a stick of buckthorn and handed it to Yuehua: "Niangniang, do you want to see if this is it?" ”

Yuehua took it in his hand and said firmly: "That's right, it's it." ”

"I gave birth to some in the imperial garden, and Mama Qin knows it."

Yuehua smiled confidently: "Let's go, go with this palace to the Ruian Palace to take the blame." ”

Yushu pursed his lips and smiled, holding the phoenix robe with a gold-painted vermilion lacquer tray, followed behind Yuehua, detoured to the Imperial Garden, and went straight to Ruian Palace.

Passing by the palace garden, the jade book that followed Yuehua suddenly rubbed Yuehua's arm: "Niangniang, who do you think that person is?" ”

Yuehua raised her face: "What's wrong?" ”

Yushu held the phoenix robe in his hand, couldn't spare his hand, and said to Nunu in the distance: "Do you see if that's Shao Xiang?" ”

Yuehua looked in the direction she was pointing, and saw that there was indeed a young man in front of her, wearing a spotless snow-white robe and a shawl with dark hair, standing under a begonia tree with his back to her and Yushu.

The already luxuriant begonia branches and leaves covered half of his back, and the sky was already dark, and the figure was hazy and could not be seen very clearly. It's just that this dusty white clothes makes people preconceived, and they think that it is Shao Ziqing.

But Yuehua felt that he did not have the independent chic elegance of Shao Ziqing. There is a little more murderous atmosphere for no reason.

She shook her head suspiciously, "Shouldn't it?" I heard that he did enter the palace with King Chen today, so he should have discussed with the emperor in the Qianqing Palace in front, how could he recklessly break into the palace garden? ”

A few patrolling guards passed by, greeted Yuehua, and then walked over with their heads bowed respectfully, not aware of the man's movements. In the past few days, the guards in the palace have indeed become stricter, and the guards who can enter the harem have also sent more people.

Yuehua raised her eyes again, and the person had already limped under his feet, hidden in the shade of flowers and trees on the side, and disappeared.

"There are usually no strangers coming in this imperial garden, it should be Lord Shao Xiang, right?" Yushu tiptoed and looked around: "But how can it look sneaky, as if it is hiding from the guards?" ”

When Yuehua heard her say this, she was also a little puzzled, looking forward, and vaguely saw that between the flowers and trees, the white clothes flashed away, and it did seem that there were some suspicious deeds.

She groaned slightly: "You wait here for a while, and this palace will follow you to take a look." ”

Yushu shook his head: "The emperor has explained that you are inseparable from people, and the slave maid is with Niangniang, right?" ”

Yuehua was afraid that that person was really Shao Ziqing, in case there was anything embarrassing and obscure, it would not be good to be seen by Yushu, so she refused.

"I'll just go up and take a look and come back, this is the palace inside, there are patrols everywhere, what can happen?"

Yushu obeyed the order and stopped in place, and Yuehua chased after it lightly.

As if sensing that someone was catching up, the figure sped up, alert and agile, and kept a short distance from Yuehua.

Yuehua became more and more puzzled in her heart, looking at the back, it was clear that it was not Shao Ziqing, so who was it? Dressed like this, is it intentional or unintentional, sneaky in the imperial garden, and what do you want to do?

Her doubts grew, and she became more curious about the man's identity. But those who can enter and exit the imperial garden must be people in the royal family, and they may have entered the palace in advance to congratulate the royal relatives and nobles on the birthday of the queen mother, and they don't know it. So she didn't say anything, she quietly hid and followed the man.

Three turns and two turns, has walked to the corner of the secluded place, flowers and trees are shaded, rockeries are piled up. The figure of the man in front of him flashed, and then suddenly disappeared.

Yuehua relied on her own self-defense skills, and she was also bold, so she suppressed the fear that involuntarily rose in her heart, and was calm and composed. She could feel that there was a murderous aura in the air, and she couldn't help but raise her vigilance.

A snow-shiny long sword slowly stretched out from behind her, still shining with a chilling light in the dark night.
