Chapter 014: Hindsight
readx;? In Jianzhang Palace, there is a sense of warmth. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The charcoal fire in the inner hall burned very much, and the fine silver filigree charcoal made a popping sound in the copper basin, breaking the silence in the temple.
The incense burner placed on the desk is filled with green smoke, which makes people feel a sense of comfort in this originally depressed room.
"Jinxiu, the booklet of Chuxiu Palace should have been delivered, right?" a majestic voice sounded on the soft couch, asking the woman below.
The Empress Dowager Qin didn't even open her eyes, she looked lazy, she was lying there so casually, but she still couldn't hide the powerful momentum emanating from her body.
"Back to the Queen Mother's words, it has been sent. Seeing that the mother was sleeping well, the slave didn't disturb the mother. Jinxiu bowed and said.
"Present it. The Queen Mother instructed, "Today is the deadline, you should also go and see, especially ...... Those two girls. ”
"The slave and the maid understand that the slave and the maid will not miss the mother's big event. Jinxiu replied, handed over the booklet sent by Aunt Qing to record the words and deeds of various palace maids, and then silently retreated and went to Chuxiu Palace.
In the Youlan Palace, all the palace maids stood neatly, while Aunt Qing did not speak, as if waiting for something.
It didn't take long for Aunt Jinxiu to come, she climbed the high platform, looked at the people below, but focused on Yun Yao and Lu Yingquan, and after looking at it for a while, she turned her head and said to Aunt Qing:
"Let's get started. ”
Aunt Qing nodded, and came up with the only question of this selection test, she asked everyone to write on a piece of paper, why they wanted to go to the inner palace to serve, and after writing, in front of everyone, read it out.
Compared to the previous tests, this question seems too simple.
The pen and paper in front of the palace maids had been prepared a long time ago, and the moment Aunt Qing's voice fell, everyone picked up the pen and wrote it, and it was finished in a short time.
At the suggestion of Aunt Qing, the palace maids began to read the reasons they had written in order.
Some are to see what the inner palace is like, some are to be able to serve the master and feel honored, some are to improve their status, and some are because they were too poor before entering the palace and want to live a better life.
But when it was Tian'er's turn, she opened her mouth to read out the contents of the paper, but found that she couldn't make a sound anyway.
As if out of nowhere, she became mute, she didn't even know how it all happened, completely in hindsight.
Looking at Tian'er's strange action of opening her mouth but not speaking, Jianyue next to her was a little anxious: "Tian'er, what's wrong with you......?"
Tian'er opened her mouth again, but she still couldn't make a sound in her throat, as if she was blocked by something.
Realizing that she might be dumb, Tian'er's anxious tears came out, and she hurriedly shook her head towards Jianyue, and pointed to her throat again, indicating that she couldn't speak.
"Aunt Jinxiu, Aunt Qing, Tian'er suddenly can't speak!" Seeing that Yue and Tian'er had lived for a long time, they naturally understood what Tian'er meant, and said to the two aunts on the stage.
When the words fell, the palace maids in the entire hall had different thoughts.
"Suddenly you can't speak? When Aunt Jinxiu heard this, she said with a sneer.
She has been with the Queen Mother for forty years, accompanied the Queen Mother to follow Gaozu to fight the world, and then she has been rolling in this palace for so long, how could she not know such a little trick?
Someone must have given Tian'er a dumb pill that poisoned her throat and made her unable to speak.
Aunt Qing is also an old man in this palace, she understands the meaning of Jinxiu, so she asked Jianyue: "When was the last time Tian'er spoke?"
"Back to Aunt Qing's words, Tian'er spoke before she came to the temple this morning. ”
After hearing Jianyue's answer, Aunt Qing turned her gaze to Tian'er again and asked, "Before leaving Xiyuan and entering the Youlan Palace, what you have eaten and drunk should be clearly written on the paper." ”
Hearing this, Tian'er thought carefully about what happened this morning, and then wrote down her diet during that time on a piece of paper and presented it to Aunt Qing.
Aunt Qing and Aunt Jinxiu looked at the paper presented by Tian'er on it, and the others were silent, paying attention to the development of the situation.
Yun Yao frowned, she also knew through Aunt Qing's words that Tian'er had been poisoned. Moreover, she was proficient in medicine, and the names of several medicinal herbs quickly flashed in her mind, and these medicinal herbs can make people dumb.
"Yun Yao, before Tian'er left Xiyuan, she said that there was no water in their house, so she came to our house to drink a cup of tea. Lu Yingquan seemed to remember something, trembled his lips, and whispered to Yun Yao.
Yun Yao was startled, and before she could say anything, she saw Aunt Qing's gaze looking at the two of them.
"Tian'er has a normal diet today, only before leaving the West Garden, in Yun Yao and Lu Yingquan's house, she drank a cup of tea. Aunt Qing's words set off a huge wave in the crowd, and everyone looked at Yun Yao and Lu Yingquan, and the look in their eyes was self-evident.
"Yun Yao and they are good friends with Tian'er on weekdays, so they won't do this kind of thing. Seeing Yue's words, she subconsciously retorted, after all, in her heart, Yun Yao had also helped her, so she didn't believe that all this was done by Yun Yao and Lu Yingquan.
"It's speculation, not evidence. Aunt Qing said, "Come on, go and search Yun Yao and Lu Yingquan's house, carefully search various places, and see if there is anything you find." ”
No one in the hall spoke again, everyone was waiting for the results of the search, only Aunt Jinxiu, her eyes staring at everyone below, with a gleam in her eyes.
She hopes that Yun Yao and Lu Yingquan will be smarter, even if it is really what they did, they will not leave any traces, after all, they are the people that the Queen Mother fancies, and they will be of great use in the future.
After about a cup of tea, the person sent by Aunt Qing to search Yun Yao's room came back, and she also brought back a complete set of teapots and teacups.
"Qi Yu two aunts, this set of tea sets was found in Yun Yao and Lu Yingquan's room, which confirmed that the tea was not poisonous, and it was these teacups that were poisonous. The man who came half-knelt in front of the temple and reported the results of the examination.
"How can this be? Yun Yao, Yingquan, did you really do it?" Seeing Yue's eyes in disbelief, staring at the two of them, he seemed to be very distressed.
And Yun Yao and Lu Yingquan, who have always been on the cusp of the storm, glanced at each other, and understood each other's meaning from each other's eyes.
This must be another game that someone is carefully planning behind the scenes, deliberately waiting until today, just to make them unavoidable.
The poisoned tea set was found in their house, and Tian'er was indeed unable to speak after drinking tea in their house, and they didn't even know how the tea set was coated with poison, and there was no proof of their innocence.
Could it be that this time, it is destined to be doomed?
Yun Yao's eyes were silent, and even Lu Yingquan, who was usually eloquent, fell silent.
It was only at this moment that she really felt that the palace was full of murderous opportunities, and if she was not careful, she would fall into the trap of others, and she could not be prevented.
Jinxiu didn't speak, she closely observed the expressions of the two girls, as if waiting for them to calmly save themselves and fight back like the first time.
But the situation in front of me seems to be a dead end.
Time passed slowly, Yun Yao and Lu Yingquan kept their heads down, without meaning to speak, just when Aunt Qing sighed helplessly and was about to give up on the two, they saw Yun Yao and Lu Yingquan kneeling on the ground at the same time.
"Ask the two aunts to make decisions for us!"
The voices of the two of them were resolute and resolute, and they looked directly at the two aunts on the high platform, seemingly fearless.
