readx;?“ Is there news from outside?" the Queen Mother's voice came, looking a little old and tired. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Back to the Empress Dowager, General Qin sent someone to check the clues along the way and found something strange in King Kong Mountain. Jinxiu said, "It is said that there are traces of a fight on Mount Kongo, but there is no body at the scene, and even the carriage is missing. ”

"You mean, Tingyu and Tingxue are both dead, and even Yun Yao is also dead and thrown to the bottom of the cliff?" asked the Queen Mother, feeling a little incredulous.

And Rong Ya outside, suddenly heard the word "Yun Yao" from the mouth of the Queen Mother, and her heart was also shocked.

Wasn't Yun Yao already dead? Why was she still thrown to the bottom of the cliff?

"Yes. Jinxiu nodded, "Because that cliff is too deep, you can't see what's going on below, so you can't find out the truth." ”

"You go and inform General Qin, and ask him to send a few masters to the bottom of the cliff to investigate, and report in detail no matter what the situation is. The Queen Mother instructed, "As for Yun Yao, you have to see people in life and corpses in death." ”

"Yes, the slave knows. Jinxiu said, "What if Yun Yao is really dead?"

"That can only say that she is unlucky. The Queen Mother said, and then asked, "Are the rest of the people ready?"

"Ready. Jinxiu nodded, "Since it was the people who went to Haoguo who had an accident, then we will send another team of people to Haoguo, no matter what, we can't make King Hao feel that we don't pay attention to him." ”

"Yun Yao's wave of people, ostensibly went to Yiguo, but actually went to Haoguo, and now if something happens, it can only be one of the two feudal countries. The Queen Mother said, "But our news is very hidden, and it is impossible for Haoguo to know in advance that this team of people is going to Haoguo, so Yiguo is the most likely to do it." ”

"Then do you want to send someone to Yiguo and let Lu Yingquan check it?" Jinxiu asked.

"Don't use it for the time being, first investigate the matter at the bottom of the cliff of King Kong Mountain, and then it's not too late to spread the news. The Queen Mother shook her head, with a solemn look on her face, countless thoughts flashed in her heart, and then said, "You said that if Yun Yao didn't die, where would she go?"

"It's likely to go to Yiguo. Jinxiu said, "Tingyu and Tingxue haven't heard from the rain for so long, and they are probably dead." Yun Yao has no one around her who can control her, she will definitely not continue to go to Haoguo to complete the task, she can only go to Yiguo to defect to Lu Yingquan. ”

"Yes, let's send someone to the bottom of the cliff to investigate first, and once Yun Yao's life or death is determined, report it immediately. If she is really alive, the news will be delivered immediately. The Queen Mother said, "But you have to remember that the news was not passed on to Lu Yingquan, but to Ning Lan, so that she could secretly stare at the movements of King Yi's Palace, as long as Yun Yao appeared, she must report to the mourning family." ”

"Yes, slave and maid will go. Jinxiu answered, and quickly turned around and went out of the temple gate.

At this time, Rong Ya wanted to turn around and leave, but it was too late, she had just taken a few steps back, and the door of the main hall had already been opened, and Aunt Jinxiu appeared at the door.

"Queen Mother, why are you here?" Jinxiu asked in surprise the moment she saw Rong Ya, and then turned back and glanced at the Queen Mother, as if she was asking what to do.

"You go first. The Queen Mother waved her hand at Jinxiu, and then said loudly, "Is it Ya'er? Since you're here, come in." ”

When Jinxiu heard this, she quickly got out of the way, bowed down and asked Rong Ya to enter the palace, and after Rong Ya and Zhuzhi went in, she went out and helped the Queen Mother close the palace door.

"Ya'er said hello to the Queen Mother. Rong Ya looked at the Queen Mother, said expressionlessly, and then saluted, her movements stiff.

Her mind was still recalling the conversation between the Queen Mother and Aunt Jinxiu just now, the news that Yun Yao was not dead was like a weed, breeding and spreading in her heart, she wanted to ask the Queen Mother what was going on, but she didn't know how to speak.

"You...... Did you hear it?" The Queen Mother looked at Rong Ya's face that was red from the cold, and knew that she had been standing outside for a while, and she must have heard all the conversations in the hall.

"Yes. Rong Ya nodded, and then asked, "Queen Mother, is this true? Yun Yao is really not dead?"

"She was alive when you thought she was dead. But now, the mourning family doesn't know. The Queen Mother said, "Now that you have heard it, you should know that Yun Yao may have been killed with the others, and her body was thrown to the bottom of the cliff of King Kong Mountain." ”

"No!" Rong Ya immediately interrupted the Queen Mother's words and said, "I believe that Yun Yao will not die." Queen Mother, will you send someone to find her?"

"Don't worry, the mourning family has already sent someone to find it. The Queen Mother said, "Since she is not dead, don't you have to be angry with the mourning family?"

Rong Ya listened to the Queen Mother's words, and lowered her head a little embarrassed, she knew that her previous behavior was indeed very naïve. She was angry with the Queen Mother because of the death of a palace maid, and she didn't come to Jianzhang Palace for more than a month, and she didn't talk to the Queen Mother.

But now that she listened to the conversation between the Queen Mother and Aunt Jinxiu, she knew that Yun Yao had not died at all before, and it must have been the Queen Mother who had sent her to be useful.

"Ya'er knows her mistake and asks the Queen Mother to forgive her sins. Rong Ya whispered, "However, Queen Mother, after finding Yun Yao, can you tell Ya'er to make Ya'er feel more at ease." ”

"When the matter at the bottom of the cliff has a result, the mourning family will tell you. The Queen Mother said, "If it's okay, you can go back, it's cold, don't go out and run around, lest you freeze." For this year's year-end palace banquet, the mourning family has let Xu Meiren preside over it, so you don't have to worry about it anymore. ”

"Thank you Queen Mother, Ya'er retired. After saying this, Rong Ya saluted and left with the bamboo branches.

When she came over, she was actually reluctant in her heart, because she felt that the Queen Mother was careless about people's lives, but now, when she heard the news that Yun Yao might not be dead, her heart became brighter, and she even prayed that Yun Yao was found by the Queen Mother, and then brought back to the palace and stayed by her side as before.

Time passed quickly, and the year-end palace banquet began.

Xu Meiren is the oldest person in the palace so far, she presided over the palace banquet, followed the rules, although there was nothing new, but she couldn't find anything wrong, so that the Queen Mother was very satisfied.

However, this year, the situation in the DPRK and China has changed greatly, and the harem is also quite unstable, so the atmosphere at the palace banquet is a little strange.

The commotion didn't end until midnight, the civil and military officials were all dispersed, and the people from the palaces also went back, Aunt Su Xin took the third-class palace maids of the Yeting Palace to clean up the mess, raised her eyes and looked around, she really wanted to see Yun Yao and Lu Yingquan here, but she knew that she couldn't wait any longer.

The picture of them marrying Jin Lan still appeared in front of her, and the reason why she was able to sit in the position of the head of the palace was inseparable from Yun Yao and Lu Yingquan, but now that things are wrong, the human feelings in this palace are even cooler than before.

"Auntie, it's cold, let's hurry up and finish cleaning up and go back. The sisters at the bottom have already prepared the meal, and after they disperse, the big guy will eat a good meal by himself, and it will be regarded as the New Year. Hongxiao walked up to Aunt Suxin's side and said so.

Su Xin turned her head, glanced at Hong Xiao, nodded, and said, "Tell them to move quickly, finish things early, and we can rest early." ”

"Yes. Hongxiao nodded, said, and then commanded everyone to pack everything in an orderly manner.

Soon, the Fenglai Water Pavilion was restored to its original appearance, and the tables and chairs were also moved back to their original places by the little eunuchs, and after cleaning up, Aunt Su Xin led everyone back to the Yeting Palace, and when they came to the kitchen, there was already a hot meal waiting.

This is what the palace looks like, and the most important New Year of the year can only be improvised. On weekdays, even if they fight openly and secretly, the palace maids who dismantle each other have become silent and sad today, and no one is going to stir up trouble anymore, but this does not mean that the dispute has stopped.

Thousands of miles away, in the Linglong Pavilion, there is a different kind of scenery.

Lu Yingquan is good at cooking, which has been affirmed by Yun Yao, and on the afternoon of Chinese New Year's Eve, she appeared in the small kitchen of Linglong Pavilion and surprised a group of palace people on errands.

She chose a few people to help, then cooked herself, made a sumptuous dinner, and asked Ning Lan to set up two round tables in the main hall of Linglong Pavilion, counted the number of errand palace people in Linglong Pavilion, and set up chairs and chopsticks.

After an afternoon of hard work, all the meals were finally placed on the table before the unitary time passed, and all the palace maids and eunuchs were also present, except for Yun Yao.

"I believe everyone knows that Linglong Pavilion is the most special existence in the entire Yiwang Palace. Because I am from the Ning Palace, no concubine is willing to befriend me, for fear of causing trouble with the reputation of meticulous work. Lu Yingquan saw that everyone was there, so he poured himself a glass of wine and said, "And you, because of your errand in Linglong Pavilion, were isolated by the people of the entire Yiwang Palace." I know that you must resent me in your hearts, it's the New Year, and I don't have anything else to give you, so I made a table of dishes with my own hands, I hope you can like it. I'll do it first for respect. ”

After saying this, Lu Yingquan drank all the wine in the cup, and then turned the empty cup upside down and showed it to everyone.

Everyone probably had never seen such a master, so they looked at each other, and after a while, they didn't know who was the first to open their mouths and said: "Thank you Lu Liangren, the good man is so considerate, it is a blessing for the slaves and maids." ”

"Yes, we have been in Yiwang Palace for so long, and we have never celebrated the New Year with our master, and we have never eaten the food cooked by our master. I suggest that we all toast Lu Liangren. Another little eunuch said this, and then automatically poured wine for the big guys.

With this opening, the hall suddenly became lively, Lu Yingquan had a faint smile on her face, looking at these palace maids and eunuchs who were originally unfamiliar with her laughing and making trouble, the emptiness and pain in her heart became more and more profound.

Her eyes swept over the field, and found that there seemed to be one person missing from the palace maid's table, that is, the ugly girl named Xiaomute, so she couldn't help frowning, I don't know if it was because Ning Lan didn't notify her at all, or because she didn't want to come because she was notified.
