Seeing Yun Yao coming back, she rolled over and got up and asked, "Where have you been?" ”
"How long have you been awake?" Yun Yao asked as she sat down at the table and brought herself a cup of tea.
"It's been a while. Yingquan said, "You haven't told me where you have been." ”
"I went to Sister Suxin's house. Yun Yao explained, "In the few days when I was detained in Jianzhang Palace, Sister Su Xin also helped a lot, so I should go and thank her." ”
"But why have you been there for so long? and...... I want to thank her too, why don't you call me along?" asked Yingquan a little confused.
Although she told herself not to think about it, Yun Yao hid it from her to find Su Xin, which still made her a little unhappy. In the past, the two of them went everywhere together, but now, Yun Yao has more and more things to hide from her.
"I saw that you were sleeping soundly, so I didn't bother to wake you up. Yun Yao said, "In order to take care of me these days, I must not have rested well, it is rare to have a chance to rest, how can I bear to disturb it?"
Yun Yao knew that it was not yet time to tell Lu Yingquan about the matter, and this explanation was reasonable, so Yingquan didn't suspect anything more.
The two looked at each other and smiled, as if all the suspicions had faded away in this smile, and the two were inseparable and talked about nothing as before.
April in the Daning Imperial Palace, as usual, the spring is bright, the clouds are steaming, and occasionally the fine and dense spring rain falls in the sky, but it does not affect the beauty of the imperial gardens in the palace, and everything seems to have not changed.
But...... Some things have indeed changed again, such as the owner of Changming Palace, from Emperor Gaozu to today's saint, and Jianzhang Palace, which has been vacant since the beginning of the previous dynasty, also has an empress dowager with a respected status.
"The day is warm, the flowers of the Begonia Garden are also blooming, the Queen Mother likes to soak her feet with Begonia petals in previous years, and you take advantage of the Begonia flowering period to pick some petals and hand them over to the Internal Affairs Office for backup. As Aunt Yue spoke, her hand pointed to the dozen or so people near Ning Lan.
Among them are Yun Yao and Lu Yingquan, as well as Su Xin and several other palace maids in the Yeting Palace.
"Do as my aunt commands. Ning Lan said this, led the group to salute, and then turned and left.
Yun Yao and the others naturally followed, while the other palace maids who were not named stayed where they were, waiting for Aunt Yue to assign another task.
Ning Lan walked at the front, her head shifted slightly, her eyes slightly looked at the people following behind, and a strange smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
In these confrontations with Yun Yao, although Aunt Yuehe was temporarily at a disadvantage, Yun Yao also suffered some injuries and did not ask for any benefits.
However, for Aunt Yuehe, although she wanted to get rid of Yun Yao in a hurry, after these few confrontations, she gradually saw some things clearly, everyone in this world has a weakness, and now it seems that Yun Yao's weakness is Lu Yingquan.
After all, no one in this palace is stupid enough to be willing to bear the sin for others unconditionally, and this sin may even cost her life.
Therefore, if you want to deal with Yun Yao, starting with Lu Yingquan is the best way.
Begonias do not hesitate to be rouge, independent in the drizzle.
It rained yesterday, and the begonia flowers moistened by the spring rain are particularly delicate, because it is early in the morning, the dew has not yet dispersed, and the drops of crystal pearls are still on the green leaves, or petals.
The palace daughters wearing light blue palace clothes walked on the small stone road of Begonia Garden, and the figure of Yuan Na swayed into a different scenery.
Occasionally, the skirt touched the branches and leaves next to it, and the drops of water rolled down, some fell to the ground, and some got into the palace maid's clothes, bringing a burst of water.
When they arrived at the Begonia Garden, the palace maids parted in twos and threes, carried the basket in their hands, and began to collect Begonia petals.
"Sister Yun Yao, let's go over there, I have something to tell you. As soon as she dispersed, Su Xin grabbed Yun Yao's arm and dragged her towards a no-man's land in the corner of the garden.
Before Yun Yao could say anything, she was hurriedly pulled away by Su Xin.
"Eh, Yun ......" Lu Yingquan just turned around and was about to talk to Yun Yao, but saw the backs of Yun Yao and Su Xin leaving in a hurry.
A look of apprehension flashed on her face, and her hand was still stretched out in the air, but she couldn't spit out half a word after that.
"What's the matter?, Yun Yao ignored you?" Suddenly, Ning Lan's voice sounded in Lu Yingquan's ears, and he said coldly, "I'll just say, she is the one who entered the Jianzhang Palace and was rewarded by the Queen Mother, how can she look down on us lowly third-class palace maids?"
"I'm a third-class palace maid, but I'm not cheap. Lu Yingquan turned his head to look at Ning Lan, and also sneered, "Sister Su Xin is also a third-class palace maid, and her status is not much more respected than ours, Yun Yao is good friends with her, can she still look down on us? ”
After several temperings, Lu Yingquan's mouth has also become stronger, and in the face of Ning Lan's provocation, she is not timid at all, but-for-tat.
She now understands more and more what Yun Yao said to her a few days ago, the calculations in this palace have never been reduced by half a point, and the peaceful days are just the temporary silence of the enemy, which does not mean that the other party will give up, they are just planning a more elaborate trick.
Like now.
Lu Yingquan knew very well that Ning Lan must have ulterior motives when she said these words to her, but she couldn't quickly see through the other party's intentions like Yun Yao.
"Shrinking turtle so soon?" Ning Lan didn't let Lu Yingquan go because of this, but chased after him, and continued, "Aren't you and Yun Yao sisters? It's a pity that she is now biased towards Su Xin, don't you want to know, in Yun Yao's heart, is it your sister who is important, or Su Xin is important?"
Ning Lan's last sentence came out, and Lu Yingquan suddenly stopped, then turned around and asked in a cold voice, "What do you want to say?"
"Do you want to test it?" Ning Lan saw Lu Yingquan's reaction, her heart was overjoyed, and she hurriedly asked, "Test whether Yun Yao cares about you as a friend." ”
"No need. Lu Yingquan didn't think about it, and refused directly, "Don't think I don't know, you are Aunt Yue's minion, of course I believe in Yun Yao more than you." ”
After saying this, Lu Yingquan no longer paid attention to Ning Lan, and walked directly to the side with the basket to collect begonia flowers.
"Well, you don't want to be tempted, and I won't force you. Ning Lan said, "But ...... I will let you know your status in Yun Yao's heart. ”
When Lu Yingquan heard this, his hands moved, but he still didn't look back.
Seeing this, Ning Lan had a little stupid expression on her face, and she felt that she was bored, so she threw Lu Yingquan a roll of her eyes and turned to leave.
However, Ning Lan's words were like a magic spell, lingering in Lu Yingquan's ears.
She really wanted to listen to Su Xin's words, don't have any doubts about Yun Yao, and she also wanted to listen to Yun Yao's words, the two sisters can't be centrifuged, but just now...... The scene where Su Xin pulled Yun Yao's head and didn't look back and left was deeply echoed in her heart and lingered for a long time.
At the same time, in the corner of Begonia Garden, Su Xin and Yun Yao were facing the pigment, bowing their heads and whispering something.
"How is this period of time?, but what is the result?" Su Xin looked at Yun Yao and asked.
"Not yet. Yun Yao shook her head gently, and then said, "That father-in-law Ying is worthy of staying in the position of the head of the procurement department for so many years, and he has acted without leakage, and he can't find a flaw." ”
"Also, Yuehe herself is cautious enough, and her partner will never be far behind. Su Xin sighed and said, "But...... Yuehe, I did find something. ”
"What do you say?" Yun Yao asked curiously.
She sometimes admires Su Xin's ability to do things, and at the same time, she didn't hear any news from her father-in-law, but Su Xin had already found some flaws.
"If you think about it carefully, although Yuehe is the aunt in charge, she is only in charge of the Yeting Palace, and in this palace, she still has to obey the rules. Su Xin said, "Except for errands, we can't go out of the palace at will, and she can't either, but she has one more advantage than us." ”
"I know, it's time to go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs at the end of each month to reconcile the accounts, and then give us the money. Yun Yao thought about it carefully and understood.
The last time she went to Aunt Yue's room to steal aloe vera, Su Xin told her about it.
Aunt Yue acted cautiously on weekdays and did not fall into the hands of others, which means that she did not go out outside of the twenty-seventh day of each month. If this is the case, the connection between Aunt Yue and Father-in-law Ying should be on the twenty-seventh of each month.
"Not bad. Su Xin nodded and spoke again, "Yuehe is the head of the Yeting Palace, and Father-in-law Ying is the chief eunuch of the Procurement Division, according to the rules of the palace, Father-in-law Ying should also go to the Internal Affairs Office on the twenty-seventh of every month." ”
"It's really well thought out. Yun Yao listened to Su Xin's words, and couldn't help but admire, "Choosing this time to go out is justified, others only think that Aunt Yuehe went to the Internal Affairs Office to reconcile the accounts and receive the money, and will never think elsewhere." When the two met in the Internal Affairs Office, even if they were bumped into by someone, they would only think it was a coincidence, after all, Father-in-law Ying was also the head of the first department, and he would not think that the two had made an appointment on purpose. ”
"That's exactly what it is. Su Xin said, "But we don't have any connections in the Internal Affairs Office, and we can't verify this matter, let alone get stolen goods." ”
"Since there is a clue, there must be a way. Yun Yao said, "Maybe...... I can give it a try. ”
"Okay, my sister won't be polite to you. Su Xin listened to Yun Yao's words, then nodded and said, "In this palace, my sister may still have some way, but I can't do it outside, if you have an idea, just let it go, if you need help, just tell me if you need help, I believe in your ability." ”
"Thank you Sister Suxin for your trust. Yun Yao said, then looked around, and saw that no one found here, so she said to Su Xin again, "Sister, you help me watch a little, while there is no one around, I will go out and explain to my friend." ”
