Chapter 20 The Phoenix Palace competes for the secret power

According to the rules of the Jin Palace, the day after the concubine went to bed for the first time, she had to go to the middle palace to kneel three times and bow nine times to the queen to show respect and humility. So in the early morning of the next day, Yun Tian got up early, came to the middle palace, knelt on the jade of Chaofeng Palace, and respectfully saluted Wang Ningxuan, his face was calm, and he could not see a trace of unwillingness and resentment. Today's Yun Tilt has long since receded from the sharpness and childishness of the fourteen-year-old time, and the hardships of life have taught her how to bow to fate in a timely manner in order to make her road longer and more stable.

Wang Ningxuan sat upright, maintaining the queen's Fengyi, and shouted with a smile: "Sister Rong Meiren, please be flat!" Throne! ”

"Thank you, Queen Mother!" Yun Tian remained respectful, slowly got up, and sat on the chair beside him. Every move is done according to etiquette, and there is no arrogance in the slightest.

As soon as I sat down, I heard Wang Ningxuan say: "The first time you go to bed, you will be uncomfortable, but you came so early, the palace is both relieved and distressed, and when you return to Taoyuxuan, you must rest and take care of your body!" ”

Her voice was as gentle and calm as before, and she was kind in addition to her majesty, Yun Tian couldn't help but secretly envy Wang Ningxuan's stability and demeanor in her heart: "Thank you for your care!" ”

At this moment, Jia Wanyi suddenly said loudly: "Congratulations to Sister Rong, you won the position of beauty in one fell swoop, of course, you have saved the emperor's eldest son for your merit, and the emperor has rewarded you, you are also well deserved!" In the future, you will be a model for all sisters! ”

Although she said it well, it inevitably made everyone in the harem look at Yun Tilt, after all, Yun Tilt was promoted to two levels in one fell swoop, and no one in the harem paid attention to it. At this point, Yun Tian couldn't help but turn her eyes to look at Jia Wanyi, only to see that she was still wearing the smoky silver flower silk robe today, her demeanor had not diminished at all, her face was still delicate, and her beautiful eyes were still shining, as if the falling into the water had not brought her any impact. Yun Tian smiled slightly, and replied: "Sister Jia has won the award, in fact, the concubine doesn't understand anything, she only knows how to fight some clumsy strength, I heard that the eldest son of the emperor is still lying on the bed to recuperate, it can be seen that the concubine actually failed to really consider the eldest son of the emperor, and it is also the incompetence of the concubine, I really can't afford the praise of the emperor and the sisters!" ”

The more humble she answered, the more comfortable Jia Wanyi listened to: "Sister Rong, you are really too humble!" I heard that after you have recovered from your illness in the past few days, you will personally make some snacks every day and send them to the Lingxi Palace to visit the emperor's eldest son, which shows that you really love him! ”

Yun Qian replied with a smile: "Failing to consider the eldest son of the emperor, the concubine is ashamed, and a little heart is nothing at all!" However, the concubine has heard about the repeated incidents in the palace recently, and she is a little panicked! The concubine has been sick and couldn't go to Hui Yaxuan to visit Sister Jia in time, and I hope that Sister Jia will not be surprised! I don't know, can you find out what happened a few days ago now? ”

Jia Wanyi saw that Yun Qian deliberately diverted the topic and everyone's attention, and no longer dwelled on Chengyou's matter: "Although there are some rumors in the palace about this matter, Sister Rong doesn't have to worry, I have already entrusted this matter to the emperor and the queen, I believe that the emperor and the queen will be the master for me, and it will be revealed in a few days!" ”

As she spoke, she turned her beautiful eyes and looked at Wang Ningxuan.

Wang Ningxuan, who was sitting at the top, heard the words and said slowly: "This matter has been handed over to Concubine Xiang and Concubine Jing to investigate, but recently, rumors of ghosts and monsters have prevailed in the palace, I don't know who is fanning the flames and alarmist behind the scenes?" How's it going, both of you? ”

Shen Luyi was about to answer, but Fu Ningyan, who was sitting opposite her, preemptively said: "How dare the concubines neglect the things that the queen mother explained?" After that, he turned his head to the female official in charge of Qionghua Palace behind him and said, "Yongxu, bring people up!" ”

"Yes!"

After a while, he saw the servants of Qionghua Palace escorting three palace maids to the center of Chaofeng Palace.

Fu Ningyan glanced coldly at the kneeling people below, and reported to Wang Ningxuan: "Regarding the prevalence of ghost rumors, the concubines went all the way to find out the cold palace, and those palace ladies stayed in the cold palace to take care of the guilty palace concubines and did nothing all day long, and the most common way to pass the time is to talk about the big and small things that have happened in the harem recently, chasing the wind and shadows, wanton speculation, and alarmism!" As the stewards of the cold palace, the three of them naturally can't get rid of their guilt! ”

Wang Ningxuan looked at the three palace people kneeling on the ground, and asked, "Jia Wanyi fell into the water, but the three of you were the first to make up ghostly rumors to confuse the public?" ”

When the three people below heard this, they trembled, and one of them was bold and raised his head and replied: "Queen Mother Mingjian, at that time, it was so popular everywhere in the cold palace, although the slaves and maids occasionally talked about it, but it was also heard from others, and it was really not made up by the three slaves and maids!" ”

When the other two heard this, they kowtowed again and again.

Seeing this, Fu Ningyan couldn't help frowning, and reprimanded: "Presumptuous! This is the middle palace, how can you allow strong words such as sophistry? ”

At this moment, Shen Luyi on the opposite side said indifferently: "Since the source is from the Cold Palace, it may not be the three of them, is the concubine too anxious?!" ”

"Sister Jingfei's words are wrong!" Fu Ningyan was not shocked or angry, and calmly counterattacked, "As the saying goes, capture the thief first and capture the king!" Since the source of the rumors is the cold palace, the steward of the cold palace must be held accountable whether he is the culprit or not! ”

After that, he turned his head to the servants of Qionghua Palace who were standing at the bottom and ordered: "Come on, drag the three of them down and pull out their tongues, and then send them to serve in the Punishment Division, the so-called killing chickens and monkeys, this palace wants to see, with the three of them as examples, no one dares to spread ghost words in the harem and be alarmist!" ”

"Yes!"

The three palace people kneeling at the bottom immediately shouted loudly when they heard this: "Niangniang spare your life, the slave maid is wronged......"

Yun Qian looked at Fu Ningyan, who had always been humble and polite in the middle palace and never said much, and suddenly became difficult, and couldn't help but sigh that Fu Ningyan acted decisively and neatly.

Soon, the three palace people were dragged out of everyone's sight, and at this time, Wang Ningxuan, who was sitting on the phoenix seat, was silent, but the secretly clenched fist revealed her thoughts at the moment, and she quickly handed a color to Shen Luyi.

Shen Luyi immediately understood, it seems that it is really as he and Wang Ningxuan guessed, the rumors were spread by Fu Ningyan, in order to take the opportunity to stand up in front of the concubines today. She stared at Fu Ningyan tightly and asked seriously: "The concubine is really fast and neat, which really makes the concubine feel ashamed!" It's just that the concubine herself knows that this is not a monkey, so it is difficult to cut off the storm in the palace just by warning. I'm afraid this matter can't end in a sloppy way! ”

"Sister Concubine Jing said yes!" Fu Ningyan was still very calm, "However, the source of the rumors is difficult to distinguish very clearly, the actions of the palace are just to deter the harem and share the queen's worries, however, the immediate priority is to find out who is behind Sister Jia's falling into the water, I don't know, how did Sister Concubine Jing find out about this matter?" ”

is really a powerful character, and in a few words, he instantly pushed the matter back to the opponent, Shen Luyi secretly gritted his teeth, and dealt with it carefully: "The evidence of this matter has already sunk into Qingbo Lake, there is no verification, and there is no witness, the concubine has tried her best to investigate, but it will take time!" ”

Fu Ningyan was about to speak out and be embarrassed, but Wang Ningxuan interrupted at the right time: "Since this is the case, Concubine Jing, you have to go and investigate, and you must find out the real culprit!" ”

When Shen Luyi heard this, he immediately got up and gave a shallow blessing: "Yes, the concubine obeys the queen's will!" ”

Yun tilted to the side and secretly observed the situation, unable to say a word. She looked at Wang Ningxuan, who had a tacit understanding with Shen Luyi, obviously, Wang Ningxuan was jealous of the family forces behind Fu Ningyan, and joined forces with Shen Luyi to fight against the difficult Fu Ningyan.

At this moment, Wang Ningxuan seemed to be a little tired, waved his hand at everyone, and said, "That's it here today, kneel down!" ”
