No one knows what happened in the darkness of the night. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
After Xiaoyu finished telling Furong all the plans, she hurriedly left in the night and returned to Lantai Pavilion, while Furong also returned to her room, lit the candle, and looked at the two things that Xiaoyu handed over to her.
The small porcelain vase containing the medicine was very ordinary, and from the appearance, it was impossible to tell what it was, so Fleur also put the small porcelain vase in her cabinet and waited for the time to come.
Then Fleur poured out the bag of jewels and laid them out on the table one by one, the jewels shining brightly in the candlelight. Emerald bracelets, earrings made of pure gold, pearl necklaces, sapphires and emerald steps...... These things are out of reach for Fleur in her life.
She carefully picked them up, held them in her palms and wiped them over and over again, looking at the shining shine on them, not to mention how happy she was.
But after being happy, Fleur thought that her wealth would not be exposed, so that no one would find out about these things, so she hurriedly packed up all these treasures, and then tried to hide them, and after making sure that they were completely hidden, she lay down on the bed contentedly and prepared to sleep.
However, a conspiracy has been quietly brewing on this night.
The sky is gradually brightening, everything in the Ning Palace is as usual, the people who should go to the court, the people who should be on errands, there is nothing unusual, but a stream of gossip has sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and it instantly spread to all corners of the Daning Palace City, and it was very noisy for a while.
This rumor is not aimed at others, but at Lu Yingquan.
It is rumored that there is a palace maid in Changming Palace, who actually prevented the emperor from pampering the harem concubines, just so that he could climb onto the dragon bed.
It is rumored that this palace maid is very beautiful and the best at seducing people's hearts, and the emperor gets along with her day and night, and he can't help but be tempted by it, and he even ignores the concubines in the harem.
Rumor has it that ......
There are many, many rumors, although they are not named, but the direction of all these is too obvious, and every word points to Lu Yingquan, which makes it difficult not to think of her.
Immediately afterwards, Lu Yingquan stayed in the emperor's dormitory, did not return overnight, and the matter of playing chess, drinking and laughing with the emperor was also spread vividly, and many people in the palace suddenly knew that the relationship between Lu Yingquan and the emperor was not ordinary.
Of course, these rumors also reached Jianzhang Palace and the ears of the Queen Mother.
"Queen Mother, in recent days, the palace has gradually calmed down, but this rumor suddenly appeared, there must be something strange. Jinxiu was discussing this matter with the Queen Mother, so she said.
In order to argue with Prime Minister Zhang Cheng, the emperor refused to draft a concubine and fill the harem, so he favored Xu Meiren, causing other concubines to be dissatisfied, and those people naturally had to take action in order to stand on their feet. The Queen Mother seemed to have everything in her hands, so she said.
After all, she came over like this, and she has already experienced the methods commonly used in the harem I don't know how much.
"In this way, Lu Shangyi was wronged, and someone was deliberately targeting her?" Jinxiu asked.
"Not necessarily. If there is no such thing, how can it be spread out?" The Queen Mother shook her head, "Although Lu Yingquan is a pawn placed by the Mourning family next to the emperor, the Mourning family does not want her to become the emperor's concubine. ”
"Why?" Jinxiu was puzzled, "Queen Mother, you are trying your best to make the emperor draft, fill the harem, and extend the heirs, isn't it just to eliminate future troubles from the emperor's heirs?
"No, she's still useful. The Queen Mother shook her head, "During this period of time, Lu Yingquan has been by the emperor's side every day and learned about the emperor's life, while Yun Yao is in the harem, helping Ya'er deal with troubles from all directions. You say, what would happen if the two of them were to unite?"
When Jinxiu heard this, she couldn't help but widen her eyes and knew it in her heart.
She always knew that the Queen Mother wanted to reuse Yun Yao and Lu Yingquan, but she didn't expect that it would be such a reuse. What is the righteousness of the emperor, what is the female official and young envoy, it is just a floating cloud, and the real chess game is still ahead.
"The Queen Mother is wise. After figuring everything out, Jinxiu only had these four words left, and there were no other words.
"I heard that the south has been restless recently? Those kings of Fan seem to feel that the mourning family's participation in Beidi's fine work before, their vitality has been greatly damaged, and the struggle with the emperor is more urgent, so they can't wait?" The queen mother didn't raise her head, just gently stroked her long nails, and asked a little casually.
"Back to the Queen Mother's words, it is true. Our spies have sent news that Ruiwang Shen Chi seems to be recruiting troops recently, and there is something wrong. Jinxiu said.
"What about their mother and son?" The Queen Mother didn't seem to care about Shen Chi, the king of Rui, in Jinxiu's mouth, but asked the other two people.
"Empress Dowager Jiang and His Royal Highness King Yi are very quiet, and they are still singing every night, and there is nothing abnormal. The last time the people of Ji'an County moved, they also did it completely according to the will of the Queen Mother, and did not take a step beyond the thunder pool at all. Jinxiu obviously knew what the Queen Mother was talking about, so she replied.
"It's very quiet......," the Queen Mother murmured, and then spoke, "Jinxiu, do you really think that their mother and son are willing to submit to the rule of the mourning family?"
"The Queen Mother means ......" Jinxiu suddenly understood what the Queen Mother meant.
"You wait and see, about the rumors of the palace maid this time, the mourning family will let her play the most useful value. The Queen Mother said this, and then closed her eyes slightly, with a smile on the corner of her mouth.
When Jinxiu saw this scene, she couldn't help but shudder, she knew that the Queen Mother was going to make another move for her own ambitions.
The previous battle with Zhou Taichang, although he temporarily lost the upper hand, also successfully tested some of the wolf ambitions among the King of Fan, so if he lost this time, he didn't win.
Just when Jinxiu was in a daze, the Queen Mother once again opened her mouth to order something, but saw Jinxiu nodding and understood what she meant.
In Changming Palace, Lu Yingquan was still doing his own thing as usual.
It's not that she hasn't heard the rumors outside, it's just that she doesn't want to pay attention to them, the clear ones are self-purifying, and the turbid ones are self-turbid, the relationship between her and Shen Ze is a master and servant, and they are friends, they understand each other, and it is not at all what those people outside say.
But despite this, these rumors will make her unhappy and a little sullen.
"Emperor Qi, Young Envoy Yun asked to see him outside, saying that he was looking for Lu Shangyi. Luo Song came in to report that Yun Yao was here, which made Lu Yingquan happy.
"Look at you, I can't sit still when I hear Yun Yao's name, go ahead, I won't force you to stay. Shen Ze looked at Lu Yingquan's appearance and spoke.
Lu Yingquan immediately got up, thanked him, and hurriedly ran out to see Yun Yao standing outside Changming Palace.
"Why are you here now?" Lu Yingquan ran over, took Yun Yao's hand, and asked, "Don't you need your service over there?"
"The queen mother allowed me to come, I brought you some flower tea, it was a few days ago when I and the queen mother had nothing to do, when I went to the imperial garden to play, I saw that a lot of flowers are the last season, so I thought about picking some of them and making them into flower tea. Yun Yao said, and handed Lu Yingquan a small box full of sun-dried flower petals.
"Knowing that you are the best, you don't forget to think about me when you have any good things. Lu Yingquan was not polite to Yun Yao, so he put away the small box, "Let's go over there for a walk, we haven't visited the garden together for a long time." ”
"It's fine. Yun Yao nodded, and the two turned around hand in hand and walked towards the garden next to them.
Walked silently for a while, no one spoke first, Yun Yao was thinking about how to talk to Yingquan, and Yingquan also knew that Yun Yao was worried about herself.
After a long time, Yingquan finally couldn't help it, and took the lead in speaking: "Yun Yao, did you also hear those rumors and come to me?"
"Yes. Yun Yao saw that Lu Yingquan took the initiative to mention it, so she nodded and said, "This rumor is menacing, and I don't know where it came from, I'm afraid that someone is secretly targeting you." ”
"I know, that's what the tree is all about. Lu Yingquan said, "In fact, these rumors may not be untrue, I drank and played chess with the emperor, and even stayed in Changming Palace all night, which is true." ”
"It can be said that you seduce the emperor, but it is false to bewitch the king. Yun Yao said clearly, "Yingquan, I'm afraid this matter is not simple, do you remember that behind every gossip before, there are countless murderous intentions, you have to be careful, maybe there is a trick in this matter." ”
"Thank you for reminding me. Yingquan smiled, "I've been wondering who the person behind this is, but after thinking about it for several days, I haven't been able to come to a conclusion." Now, I hope that she will do it as soon as possible, and I can find out who is behind this. ”
"Don't be careless. Yun Yao couldn't rest assured after all, "It's not that you don't know what the Queen Mother means to those palace maids who are too close to the emperor, Xiaoshan is a living example." I'm afraid...... The people behind this scene are scheming, and they want to borrow the hand of the Queen Mother to get rid of you. ”
Although it is said that Lu Yingquan is different from when he was in the Yeting Palace before, and he is also a lot more cautious, but after all, it is difficult to prevent hidden arrows.
"Don't worry, isn't there still you?" Lu Yingquan didn't seem to be worried, "Yun Yao, I know that no matter what happens, I can trust you." Even if I'm framed, you'll come to my rescue, won't you?"
Yun Yao listened to Lu Yingquan's words, and was speechless for a while. She and Yingquan support each other in the palace, and if Yingquan has something, she will definitely help, but this does not conflict with Yingquan's own caution.
While the two were strolling around and chatting, Yun Yao turned her head and looked at Lu Yingquan with an innocent smile on her face, feeling both comforted and helpless. The comfort is that even after entering the inner palace for so long, Yingquan is still as pure and kind as before, but helplessly, she always believes that she has good luck and can always turn evil into good fortune.
It's a pity that what they don't know is that when they think that they are standing high enough in the inner palace to control their own life and destiny, there will still be a pair of hands behind the scenes, quietly stirring up the wind and clouds, making all this treacherous and complicated, and also making their life trajectory deviate from the track they should have driven.
