After untying the knot in her heart, Jianyue was obviously much more relaxed than before. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

She didn't want to be enemies with Yun Yao and Lu Yingquan, and she knew about this matter from when she was in Chuxiu Palace.

At that time, the competition between the third-class palace maids was so fierce, and there were not many people who could survive three months, but Yun Yao and Lu Yingquan, with their intelligence and cleverness, wandered among these killing machines, and gradually got rid of the identity of the criminal slaves of Langyue Pavilion and sat on an equal footing with them.

Then there are three accidents in Chuxiu Palace, it seems that every time it is related to the two of them, but every time they can always save the day at the most critical time, and they are even fortunate to be among these palace maids, who can directly contact the emperor and the queen's mother.

Based on these things alone, Jianyue knew that they were not simple. Being an enemy of such a person is destined to be very difficult, she is not the kind of person who is extremely ambitious, even if she becomes a first-class palace maid, if it weren't for Xu Meiren seeing that she had a friendship with Yun Yao and Lu Yingquan, and taking the initiative to promote her, she would also be willing to be an unknown second-class palace maid.

This temperament is very compatible with Xu Meiren, so seeing Yue in Qutai Pavilion is also the most suitable choice.

"Yun Yao, do you know? Seeing Yue walking, she told Yun Yao about the past few days, "Xu Meiren is favored, and she is in the limelight for a while, which will make people jealous." And Yingquan is close to me, it is hard to guarantee that people will not suspect that it was Yingquan who took the benefits of the beauty and spoke by the emperor's side, so that the emperor favored Xu Meiren. ”

"So, Xu Meiren thinks that it was her own favor that harmed Yingquan and let Yingquan suffer this catastrophe?" Yun Yao asked.

"That's right. Beauty always thinks that if she wasn't too eye-catching, the people behind the scenes wouldn't have paid attention to her. But it is very difficult to get rid of a concubine, it requires a very careful plan, but it is much easier to get rid of a palace maid. Jianyue nodded and said, "Pull out the nail of Yingquan, there is no one to rely on by the emperor's side, and it is only a matter of time before she falls out of favor." ”

"See Yue, you only know one thing, but you don't know the other. Yun Yao sighed and said, "I can't tell you the root cause of this yet, but you have to promise me that you can't tell anyone except Xu Meiren about the white jade bracelet." ”

Jianyue wanted to ask why, but she looked at Yun Yao's serious face, so she suppressed the question in her heart and nodded.

Soon, the two came to Changming Palace, and saw that Yue said that she came to visit Yingquan on the order of Xu Meiren, and gave her a string of South China Sea pearls, which made Yingquan grateful.

She had just been punished by the Queen Mother and was demoted to a second-class palace maid, at such a time, anyone who was contaminated with her would probably feel unlucky, and even unwilling to associate with her, for fear that she would also be implicated. But Xu Meiren did not cross the river and demolish the bridge, which can be regarded as a relief to Yingquan.

"You guys chat, I have to go back to the palace, and the queen is still waiting for me. Yun Yao saw that the two were chatting warmly, so she said goodbye.

Yingquan didn't stay with Yun Yao much, because she knew that Yun Yao was very busy, and in addition to serving the queen's mother, she was also helping her investigate the truth behind this matter.

Yun Yao left Changming Palace, returned to Hehuan Palace, and told Rong Ya the truth about what she had seen and heard outside this morning, and let her know.

"So, the person who bought Hibiscus is not Xu Meiren, but Du Liangren?" Rong Ya asserted when she heard these things.

Although the slave maid also thinks so, it is not ruled out that Xu Meiren and Jianyue may lie, and in the end, they have to make sure again before they can make the next move. Yun Yao said.

"How can you be sure?" asked Rong Ya.

"Please rest assured, the slave has already had an idea about this matter, and when the results come out, she will definitely tell her mother. Yun Yao nodded and said.

Rong Ya didn't ask Yun Yao what the hell was going on, because she believed in Yun Yao and knew that Yun Yao had her own way of doing things.

Soon it was time for lunch, Yun Yao passed the meal, waited for Rong Ya to finish the meal, and accompanied Rong Ya to take a nap, and after Rong Ya fell asleep, she returned to her room.

In fact, she doesn't have any excellent solution, her solution is Achen.

Sometimes, she hated that she didn't have a martial arts like Gu Qingming, and she could walk and shuttle freely in this palace without being discovered, because sometimes, such a martial art was really useful.

For example, now, she needs to keep an eye on Du Liangren alone, the ordinary palace maid and eunuch target is too big and easy to be discovered, and she can't go out in person, so the easiest and most effective way is to let Gu Chen keep an eye on it.

Gu Chen is always hidden in the dark, no matter day or night, no one has ever found him, so he is the best candidate.

Yun Yao called Ah Chen out, and after explaining to him the whole story, she asked him to help him keep an eye on Du Liangren's palace. Although Achen always felt that Yun Yao didn't have to be so polite, after all, she was already the owner she identified, Yun Yao still kept thanking her.

But in the blink of an eye, Achen disappeared from the Hehuan Palace, and came to the Lantai Pavilion with his skills and familiarity with the palace.

At this time, it was night, in the dead of night, there was finally movement in Lantai Pavilion.

During the day, Du Liangren was very shocked when he saw the white jade bracelet in Yun Yao's hand in Qutai Pavilion, but fortunately, she reacted in time, so she didn't show any horses' feet.

She knew that the white jade bracelet she asked for from Xu Liangren had been given to Furong along with other jewelry, but she didn't expect that this white jade bracelet would appear in Yun Yao's hands. If this white jade bracelet was given to Yun Yao by Furong, with Yun Yao's cleverness, she would definitely suspect the origin of this jade bracelet, and when she wanted to clear her suspicions, she would already be at a loss for words.

Therefore, she must know what Furong is doing, what she thinks in her heart, and whether she has told Yun Yao all these things.

The door of the Lantai Pavilion was still closed, but the side door was opened, and Xiaoyu came out of it, as before, walking in the night, came to Changming Palace, bought off the previous little eunuch, and entered Furong's room.

"Why are you here again? Didn't you say that you won't contact you anymore after the fact, for fear of being seen by someone?" Fleur asked eagerly when she saw Xiaoyu.

She has been carefully hiding it from everyone now, for fear that her drugging of Lu Yingquan will be found out, but she didn't expect that when there was such a rumor, Xiaoyu actually sent it to the door by herself. If someone finds out, then everyone is doomed.

"What about the things that Du Liangren gave you? You didn't lose it, did you?" Xiao Yu didn't mention Yun Yao, but just asked.

She was afraid that she would reveal something, and Furong accidentally showed her feet in front of Lu Yingquan, which would not be good.

"I've hidden them, how dare I take these things out casually?" said Fleur, "I haven't lost a single thing, all of them are on the beams of the house, just waiting for the right opportunity to send them out of the palace." ”

"What about the white jade bracelet?" Xiaoyu asked again.

"It's also with me, the bracelet is of high quality, and I only dare to wear it secretly, not let others see it. As she spoke, Furong took out the white jade bracelet from under her pillow and showed it to Xiaoyu to prove that what she said was true.

"That's good. Xiaoyu finally relieved herself, thinking that the white jade bracelet in Yun Yao's hand must be a coincidence, just like the one in Furong's hand, "I didn't expect you to hide things or like to hide them on the beams of the house, and you are not afraid of being stolen." ”

"Who else knows what you know? Didn't you teach me this method hidden in the beams of the house when we were playing as children?" said Fleur.

"Okay, I'm just not worried, just come and take a look and make sure it's okay. Xiaoyu said, "I'll go first, you should be careful." ”

After saying this, Xiaoyu took advantage of the night to slip out and returned to Lantai Pavilion.

What they didn't know was that the conversation between the two had already been heard clearly by Gu Chen in secret, and after Xiaoyu left, Gu Chen didn't follow anymore, and returned directly to the Hehuan Hall to tell Yun Yao what he had found.

After Yun Yao got Gu Chen's report, she could be sure that all this was done by Du Liangren, she wanted to cut off the people who could help Xu Meiren step by step, and then slowly deal with Xu Meiren with a gentle temperament.

The matter finally came to a conclusion, but because the Queen Mother had said it first, she was not allowed to investigate this matter again, so she could only temporarily let Du Liangren go and wait for the right time.

This night, Yun Yao lay on the bed and thought about it for a long, long time, thinking about how to quietly help Yingquan get justice without arousing the suspicion of the Queen Mother. And after thinking about it, I found that the final breakthrough was still on Fleur.

At this time, no one knew that an overwhelming chess game had been brewing in Daning Palace for a long time, in addition to Yun Yao, there was another person, that is, the Queen Mother of Jianzhang Palace.

There was silence in the Jianzhang Palace, and in the inner hall, the Queen Mother was lying there peacefully, and Jinxiu was standing aside and waiting, just like countless nights in the ordinary.

"The south is getting more and more restless. After a long time, the Queen Mother sighed.

"Queen Mother, isn't it time to send out the chess pieces we buried?" Jinxiu asked, "Now that they have experienced the ups and downs of the harem, they can be on their own." ”

"It's not time yet. The Queen Mother said, "Lu Yingquan's matter is not over yet, you wait and see, these two girls are not fuel-efficient lamps." ”

"Then the Queen Mother, what do you mean?"

"You give me a good look at the people, the mourning family waited for them to continue to go down step by step, and finally had to walk in front of the mourning family. The Queen Mother said, "Are all the things I asked you to prepare?"

"It's all ready, it's the master who General Qin personally spent a lot of money to invite from the rivers and lakes, and there will definitely be no problem. Jinxiu nodded and replied.

"Good. The Queen Mother nodded, "What about the one in the secret room?"

"She is almost ready, compared to Yun Yao and Lu Yingquan, she is even more unscrupulous. Although it was more likely to happen, the slave was too worried. Jinxiu continued.

"Don't worry about this, the mourning family has its own arrangements. The Queen Mother said.

After saying this, the Queen Mother no longer spoke, but closed her eyes slightly, as if she had fallen asleep.

Jinxiu silently covered the Queen Mother with a blanket, so as not to catch a cold, and then stood aside, silent, full of thoughts.
