Chapter 092: Sit and Wait to Die
The turmoil in Suochuntai was so thrilling that it was not in danger, for such a result, it was already expected by Yun Yao, she had already said that she did not expect to be able to bring down Mrs. Jiang at one time, as long as it could achieve the effect of striking the grass and startling the snake.
After the greetings were finished, everyone dispersed, Shen Che thoughtfully sent Lu Yingquan back to Linglong Pavilion, and Jiang Yi looked at this scene, and left even more angrily, eager to tear Lu Yingquan apart.
Mrs. Han, who watched the whole scene on the side, involuntarily stroked her stomach with both hands and couldn't help sighing. Since she became pregnant, she didn't want to pay attention to the disputes in the palace anymore, she just wanted to give birth to the child wholeheartedly and accompany the child to grow up.
Yao Shuang also saluted the Queen Mother and said goodbye, and then hurriedly chased out, following Jiang Yi's footsteps, and the two finally walked side by side on the way back to the palace.
"Mrs. Jiang, what are you doing walking so fast? Wait for me!" Yao Shuang said, catching up with Jiang Yi's footsteps, and even a little out of breath.
"What are you going to do? If it weren't for what you said before, how could Lu Yingquan have blocked all my retreats so quickly?" Jiang Yi glanced at Yao Shuang angrily, his eyes full of dissatisfaction.
"Madame, you have wronged me! I didn't know what was going to happen in that letter, so I said that to help you. Yao Shuang argued, "Madam, haven't you seen that this whole thing is exactly Yun Yao deliberately targeting you?"
"I'm not blind, how can I not see it?" Jiang Yi was still very angry, "I just didn't expect that Yun Yao was really calm, she was afraid that she already knew that I did the fire in the Hall of Light." I've been doing a bureau for a few months, and I've just been ungrounded, and I'm going to copy the rules for women's rings, and she's such a good thing!"
"That's right, this palace maid has never made any mistakes in serving tea, but why did she knock over the teacup today, and so coincidentally spill all the tea on Aunt Wushuang's sleeve?" Yao Shuang said, "I think this must be arranged, that is, in front of His Highness and the Queen Mother, the secret letter will be exposed, so as to frame you." ”
"This Lu Yingquan is really a broom star. Jiang Yi listened to Yao Shuang's words, and hated it in her heart, "Zhao Meiren, Wei Liangren, Mrs. Yao, and He Meiren, which one didn't die in her hands? Now that she has eliminated all the enemies one by one, there are only a few of us left, so now she can't wait to do it to me." ”
"Madam, I helped you speak in front of the Queen Mother today, Lu Yingquan and Yun Yao must know that the two of us are together, if you have anything, I will definitely not be able to keep it. Yao Shuang thought about it and began to show her loyalty, "So please rest assured, Madame, from today onwards, I will cooperate with Madame to get rid of Lu Yingquan." ”
In fact, Yao Shuang also has her own plans. She always thought that Lu Yingquan was from Ning Palace, and the suspicion of meticulous work on her body had not been completely cleared, even if she was favored by His Royal Highness, the chances of becoming a queen were not very high. But Jiang Yi is different, Jiang Yi's identity is innocent, not to mention that she is the niece of the Queen Mother and has the support of the Queen Mother, so with Jiang Yi, the future will definitely be better.
As long as Lu Yingquan does not make waves in Yiwang Palace, there are almost no people left in Yiwang Palace, and it will definitely return to its former calm.
"Okay, that's what you said. Jiang Yi heard this, nodded with a smile, "Don't worry, when I get rid of Lu Yingquan, I will definitely not treat you badly." ”
"Then I'll thank you Madame first. Yao Shuang smiled, "But madam, since Yun Yao has already made a move, then we can't sit still, we must find a way to defend and attack." ”
"Don't worry, I know it. Jiang Yi said, "You come with me, go to my palace first, and we will discuss and discuss." ”
Yao Shuang didn't say anything more, followed Jiang Yi to her palace, and ordered Xiao Mei to make tea, and the two closed the door of the palace, lowered their heads and whispered, and discussed the plan carefully.
After all, Yun Yao's goal had been achieved, she had successfully created panic for Jiang Yi and Yao Shuang, making these two people uneasy, for fear that she would be the next revenant in Lu Yingquan's hands, so now she was in a hurry to find a way to strike first.
Jiang Yi suddenly remembered that two months ago, on the day of the year-end palace banquet, when she went to the Internal Affairs Office to fetch charcoal, she saw a man's figure in Linglong Pavilion and went out from there. Although it was too dark for her to see the man, she felt that she might be able to take advantage of it.
She told Yao Shuang about this matter, and then said: "Since there is such an opportunity, let's just use this matter to install a ** harem sin for Lu Yingquan!"
"But madam, could the man you saw be the one who came out to help repel the assassins on the day of the Lantern Festival?" Yao Shuang asked, "If it's him, Your Highness must know about his existence and what his identity is, will we be self-defeating?"
Jiang Yi frowned, thought about it carefully, and felt that it was still very possible.
After all, Gu Chen and Gu Qingming's figures are somewhat similar, in the past, on the battlefield, Gu Chen, as Gu Qingming's stand-in, also invisibly confused many enemies. But Jiang Yi didn't know about Gu Qingming's existence, so when she saw Gu Qingming, she thought it was Gu Chen.
"Since this person can't make a fuss, let's start from elsewhere, Lu Yingquan's Linglong Pavilion is not pervasive, right? Jiang Yi said, then told Yao Shuang what he thought in his heart, and then asked Yao Shuang to deal with the matter.
In this regard, the reason given by Jiang Yi is that the Empress Dowager Jiang asked her to copy the rules for female rings, making it clear that she had calmed down in the palace and thought about it, and she should not come forward now, lest Lu Yingquan seize the opportunity and calculate her in front of the Queen Mother and His Royal Highness. If something happened to her, Mrs. Yao would definitely not be able to get out of it.
Therefore, this matter can only be handed over to Yao Shuang, if it succeeds, they will have one less strong rival, if it fails, Jiang Yi can still say good things in front of the Queen Mother to keep Yao Shuang.
Yao Shuang didn't think much about it, so she obeyed Jiang Yi's arrangement and went to do something.
And she didn't know that Jiang Yi actually had her own selfishness, thinking that in case of the East Window incident, she could also put all the blame on Yao Shuang, even if the Queen Mother and His Royal Highness wanted to be held accountable, they would not implicate her.
Yao Shuang came out of Jiang Yi and went back to the palace to arrange things.
In fact, Yao Shuang is the kind of person who has a tendon, and she was also ridiculed when she quarreled with Mrs. Han before. She entered the palace earlier than Yao Meng, and she is Yao Meng's sister, but after so many years in the palace, she is still a beauty who is neither high nor low, and she is not as good as Yao Meng, who came from behind and became a lady.
The two sisters have always been at odds, not only did they not support each other in the palace, but they were hostile to each other and kept tearing each other down. However, Yao Meng was superior in the end and won Yao Shuang.
It is precisely because Yao Shuang can't plan that she is easy to be used by Jiang Yi and be this upstarter.
At this time, in the Linglong Pavilion, Shen Che sent Lu Yingquan back, sat with her for a while, watched her drink the medicine that tonified her body, and then left to deal with her own affairs.
After Shen Che left, Yun Yao hurriedly called Sisi and instructed: "Mrs. Jiang and Yao Meiren will definitely take action in the near future, you have to guard our Linglong Pavilion tightly, and you can't let them take advantage of any loopholes." In addition, the palace maids who were bought from their palace should also be used, and no matter what news they had, they must report it in time. ”
"Yes, Miss Cloud. Sisi nodded and agreed, "Then this time, can we avenge the beauty and bring down Mrs. Jiang?"
"No, this time our target is Yao Meiren. Yun Yao said, "If my expectations are good, Jiang Yi will definitely not do it herself this time, she will definitely let Yao Meiren do everything." If we want to deal with Jiang Yi, we can only cut off all the helpers around her first, leave her isolated, and make her desperate. ”
Lu Yingquan listened to Yun Yao's words, nodded slightly, and said to Sisi: "You just do what Yun Yao said." Jiang Yi is the niece of the Empress Dowager Jiang, her mind should not be underestimated, if we want to take revenge, we can only take it slowly. What's more, the people in the palace didn't think she was terrible before, that was because she never made a move, no matter what she did, the queen mother would solve it for her, and we could only have a slight upper hand by attacking her unprepared. Now she's being forced to go back on the defensive, and we have to be careful all the time. ”
Sisi answered, and went to do things according to Yun Yao's instructions.
As the palace maid in charge of Linglong Pavilion, she naturally knows in her heart which people are reliable and can be trusted, and which people are easy to be bought or threatened by others, and she can't be trusted. Therefore, she can do a good job of letting these people supervise each other and check and balance each other, so as to ensure that Linglong Pavilion forms an impregnable barrier and does not allow people outside to take advantage of it.
As for the other palace maids who had been bribed according to Yun Yao's orders, they had now become the main source of news, although Sisi couldn't fully know what Yao Shuang would do, but he could also get a glimpse of one or two from the words of these news.
Yiwanggong fell into the calm before the storm, and Yun Yao was also waiting, waiting to lead Mrs. Jiang to a road of no return that she could not turn back in her life.
She is no longer the timid Yun Yao in the Ning Palace in the past, her hands have killed people, and she has calculated many people, and many people have died because of her strategy. But she doesn't regret it, she wants to live, she wants to save her life, so she can only eradicate these enemies in front of her one by one.
And Jiang Yi is one of these enemies. In Yun Yao's heart, Jiang Yi was just like the Beidi people who almost killed Gu Qingming at the beginning, ruthless and unforgivable.
Sometimes, Lu Yingquan looked at Yun Yao, who seemed to be becoming more and more silent, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and said:
"Yun Yao, in fact, I always thought that Achen's martial arts are so high, it is better to send him to kill Jiang Yi with a sword, and it will be a hundred, and from now on we will have less threats, and it is better than you worrying about it every day and worrying about it. ”
"Jiang Yi can't die for the time being. Yun Yao shook her head lightly and said, "I have other uses for keeping her." Although she is a threat to us now, she may always want to kill you, but when it is critical, she may be able to save your life. ”
Lu Yingquan listened to Yun Yao's words, and was very puzzled in his heart. She didn't think that Jiang Yi would be generous enough to save her, but since Yun Yao said so, maybe this matter was really possible.
