Chapter 072: Please enter the urn
readx;? Hongxiao's nickname of "Bao Inquiring" is not for nothing, since Yun Yao gave the silver, it is natural to explain everything clearly, which can be regarded as a benevolent and righteous business, so she will inquire about the news from Zhen'er, and tell it back and forth.

Yun Yao listened carefully, and when she understood everything that had happened, she knew that this Hongxiao was just a microphone for Sister Su Xin, and this was Sister Su Xin reminding her to beware of Ning Lan, because Ning Lan entering the inner palace might be unfavorable to her.
"I don't know what kind of shit luck this Ning Lan has taken, he actually left us and entered the inner palace directly, there will be more opportunities for you to meet in the future, don't quarrel." Hongxiao finally said.
"Hongshio, thank you for telling me the news. However, you should go on an errand, if you miss the errand of the banquet, even if I want to protect you, the queen may not be able to pass that level. Yun Yao didn't want to talk to Hong Xiao too much, so she said so.
"Then I won't tell you more, let's go to work first. When Hongxiao heard this, earning money was earning money, but she was also afraid of getting into trouble, so she quickly ran away and continued to work with her rag.
Yun Yao looked around for a while, there was nothing abnormal, and all the preparations were carried out in an orderly manner, so she didn't stay long, and returned directly to the Hehuan Palace.
"Sister Yun Yao, is everything going well?" Rong Ya asked when she saw Yun Yao coming back.
"Qi Yu Niangniang, everything is going well, but there is one thing, the slave maid thinks that she should explain the situation to Niangniang. Yun Yao seemed a little worried, and after thinking about it for a while, she finally decided to tell Rong Ya about Ning Lan.
Although Yun Yao felt that Ning Lan was coming for her, all these things had nothing to do with Rong Ya, but after all, the palace rules were here, and Yang Liangren brought the third-class palace maid into the inner palace on an errand, but he never reported to the queen, which was simply contempt for the palace rules and deceived the superiors and subordinates, which was very unfavorable to Rong Ya's management of the six palaces.
If everyone in the palace is like Yang Liangren, then how can Rong Ya manage the six palaces, and how can she complete the task given to her by the Queen Mother?
"What is it that can make Sister Yun Yao so distressed?" asked Rong Ya.
Yun Yao thought for a moment, and then said everything, but omitted Su Xin's role in the whole thing, after all, Su Xin's sister secretly helped her with this matter, and the fewer people who knew about it, the better.
Rong Ya listened to the whole thing, only thought for a moment, and then said: "Since Yang Liangren doesn't plan to let me know about this matter, this means that she must have other plans, why don't we plan it and take this opportunity to invite you into the urn?"
Yun Yao looked at Rong Ya with an excited look on her face, a little stunned.
She didn't expect Rong Ya to think of going with her, but it stands to reason that Rong Ya should take someone to Jiuhua Hall to find Yang Liangren at this time to ask for an explanation, and dispose of Yang Liangren and Ning Lan in accordance with the palace rules.
"Mother, that's not right. Although Yun Yao felt that it was a good way to invite you into the urn, she couldn't be sorry for Rong Ya after all, so she said, "Niangniang is now in charge of the harem, no matter what happens, it should be handled impartially, knowing that someone violates the palace rules, but not verifying, once this matter is known by the Queen Mother, Niangniang will inevitably bear the sin of lax discipline." Isn't this a misservice for the mother?"
"What are you afraid of? Even if the Queen Mother knew, she would only reprimand me a few words at most, and I could excuse myself with my lack of experience. Rong Ya looked indifferent and said, "But if you go to Jiuhua Hall at this time and dispose of Yang Liangren and Ning Lan according to the palace rules, at most you will only punish them for grounding or beating them, and you won't be able to teach them a lesson at all, and it may even make them hold a grudge, which is even more unfavorable to us." ”
Yun Yao sighed that Rong Ya's thoughts were very mature, and they coincided with her.
Indeed, if they can't teach Yang Liangren and Ning Lan enough lessons, they will inevitably fight back, and there will be a steady stream of troubles in the future. She doesn't care about herself, but Rongya, she protects her so much and helps her, if there is any accident, she will never forgive herself in her life.
Since Ning Lan entered the inner palace with a purpose, she could only plan and invite you into the urn.
"Since this is the case, then the mother simply did not know about this matter, and when the queen mother asked, she said that the slave maid knew about it, but she was negligent and forgot to tell the mother. Yun Yao said.
"Let's talk about it then, I'm more concerned about the Mid-Autumn Festival palace banquet, it's not a few days, according to the current progress, it should be completed before August 15, I just hope that everything won't be messy. Rong Ya prayed, this was the first time she had presided over such a big palace banquet, and naturally hoped that everything would go well.
Yun Yao knew that Rong Ya attached great importance to it, and told herself in her heart that she would help Rong Ya to host this palace banquet perfectly, so that others could not find faults. What's more, on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, they have more important things to do.
The days became busier, Yun Yao represented the queen, patrolling around the palace, in addition to the place where the palace banquet was held, there was also a large row of fireworks and firecrackers at the entrance of Zhengyang Palace.
This should be the simplest palace banquet since the founding of Daning, there are only two processes in the whole night: first the emperor and the civil and military officials have a banquet and drink in the Fenglai Water Pavilion, the queen mother and the queen and the harem concubines are all present, and the officials above the third grade can bring their families;
Even if it is simple, there are a lot of rituals, and the new clothes that should be cut in the palace are also handled by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so everyone is happy for this upcoming festival.
However, on the evening of August 14, Yun Yao received a heavy news.
Xiao Shan, the third-class palace maid of the Yeting Palace, still failed to escape her fate after all, and died on the eve of this festival that was supposed to be celebrated by the whole country, and died in her room.
This news was told to Yun Yao by the old grandmother of Yongxiang, who took advantage of the eve of the Mid-Autumn Festival to make moon cakes and give them to Yun Yao, and asked her to bring them to the morning dew, and by the way, told Yun Yao that there was another corpse in Yongxiang, which was Xiaoshan of the Yeting Palace.
How Xiaoshan died, no one knows, only that when Aunt Su Xin found her, she was lying on the table in the room, silent, and she had been angry for a long time.
Yun Yao sent the moon cakes made by the old lady to Chenlu, and by the way, told Chenlu to endure one more day, and on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, she would send her out when the ministers were in and out of the palace.
At this time, the Jiuhua Hall was also quite quiet.
Ning Lan had already changed out of the clothes of a third-class palace maid, even if her identity was still a third-class palace maid, she already felt superior to herself, and she even thought that helping Yang Liangren with errands would sooner or later be indispensable to her own benefits.
"Ying'er, what's the situation outside?" Yang Liangren turned his head, looked at Ying'er beside him, and asked.
"Back to the beloved, there is no wind outside, tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15, the queen mother and Yun Yao are making the final arrangements for tomorrow night's palace banquet, and they don't seem to have found that Ning Lan has come to Jiuhua Palace. Ying'er said.
"I didn't find out, when I caught them off guard, Yun Yao would know that she still underestimated me. When Ning Lan heard this, she said so.
"Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and when this period is over, the queen will be idle, what can you do to deal with them? You know, I brought you into the inner palace to let you help me gain the emperor's favor and regain the trust of the queen mother, not for you to take revenge. Yang Liangren looked at Ning Lan coldly and asked.
"Rest easy. Ning Lan said, "Nowadays, the most favored by the emperor and trusted by the queen mother in the palace is the queen." And the reason why the queen's mother can go so smoothly is nothing more than having Yun Yao, a military advisor, to help her, if there is no Yun Yao, the queen is just a ten-year-old child, and she can't make any big waves. Therefore, it is the safest way to get rid of Yun Yao first and let the queen have nothing to rely on. ”
"You still need to say that getting rid of Yun Yao, how easy is it, I once attacked her, but I made myself like this, Zhou Meiren also offended her, what is the end now?" Yang Liangren said, "If you really have the ability to get rid of Yun Yao for me, I will immediately promote you to be a first-class palace maid, on an equal footing with Ying'er." ”
"Thank you for your love, there is already a way. Ning Lan smiled, then got up and walked to Yang Liangren's side, leaned into her ear and said a few words, but saw a cold smile flashing at the corner of Yang Liangren's mouth, Ning Lan spoke again, "You said, if all the civil and military officials see Yun Yao's situation, will the Queen Mother put Yun Yao by the queen's side?"
"In terms of ruthlessness, no one is really as good as you. Yang Liangren finally said, "It seems that agreeing to you to follow this palace is an extremely correct choice." ”
"The lover has won the award, but the slave and maid just did what they should do, and never dare to forget the kindness of the beloved. Ning Lan hurriedly blessed Yang Liangren and said humbly.
Yang Liangren saw that Ning Lan was very deferential to him, and couldn't help but nod with great satisfaction, feeling that he had enough deterrent power to control Ning Lan and let her use it completely for herself. But she didn't see that the moment Ning Lan lowered her head, a trace of incomprehensible light flashed in her eyes.
Because on August 15, Yun Yao would be very busy, so she got up early in the morning, and when the sky was just dawning, she was already dressed, washed, and began to pack her luggage for Chenlu, preparing to send Chenlu to escape at night.
In fact, it is not an easy thing to transport a living person out of the palace, and it has to go through the inspection of several palace guards, so you must be fully prepared first, for fear that there will be some chaos temporarily.
Fortunately, the news that Chenlu was alive has not leaked, and no one knows that she has been staying in the side courtyard of the Hehuan Hall these days, so when Yun Yao packed up her things and sent them to Chenlu, even if everything was ready, she only owed Dongfeng.
This east wind is the palace banquet in the evening, which is also the reason why Rong Ya took the initiative to ask the Queen Mother for this errand, just to send the morning dew away.
Maybe Chenlu is just an inconspicuous little palace maid, maybe her life is not as expensive as the masters, but this is also a human life. For Yun Yao, who once killed Shuwen involuntarily, she couldn't bear to sit idly by. Since she couldn't save Xiaoshan, she could only do her best to help Chenlu.
Only then will she not regret it.
