Chapter 052: The Dark Tide is Surging
readx;?β Yun Yao was taken to Jianzhang Palace?" In the room, Su Xin listened to Lu Yingquan's words, Huo Ran got up, and was a little emotional, "That's obviously Ning Lan deliberately provoking the relationship between you and Yun Yao, how could you be stupid and say something like that!"
"I didn't expect it either...... was heard by Zhou Meiren so coincidentally, and said that we were talking about the Queen Mother in vain. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ info" Lu Yingquan listened to Su Xin's accusation, and his heart was even more sad, "I want to go to Jianzhang Palace and admit my mistake to the Queen Mother, so that Yun Yao will be fine." β
It was said that it was a bystander, and now even Su Xin, who was not present, knew that Ning Lan did it on purpose, but she was so stupid, others dug a hole, and she jumped in.
"Nonsense! Do you think that if you go to Jianzhang Palace, you will be able to exchange yourself for Yun Yao? When the time comes, you will be convicted of being disrespectful to the Queen Mother, and Yun Yao is intending to deceive the Queen Mother, neither of you can escape!" Su Xin immediately refuted Lu Yingquan's words, and then lowered his head and paced back and forth in the room, as if thinking about something.
Lu Yingquan was trained by Su Xin like this, and she knew that she was still thinking too simply, but her mind was blank and she couldn't think of any ideas at all.
"Yingquan, don't worry, I'll ask someone to go to Jianzhang Palace to inquire about the situation first, and then we'll make plans." After a long time, Su Xin spoke again.
"Sister Su Xin, thank you, I really didn't expect things to turn out like this, watching Yun Yao being taken away, I felt very uncomfortable, and I regretted dying, I shouldn't have been so impulsive and fell for Ning Lan's plan. Lu Yingquan's face was annoyed, and he kept complaining about himself.
"Yingquan, you must know that in fact, you and Yun Yao are very smart, but you are too simple, and your intelligence is used elsewhere, and she is careful and cautious, so she can help you escape one disaster after another. Seeing this, Su Xin said with some sighs, "The rarest thing in this deep palace is sisterhood, and I mention you today because the love between the two of you is precious, and I don't want the two of you to have a share." Infighting will only give the enemy an opportunity, and mutual trust is the way to survive. β
Su Xin's words are very serious. She knew very well that Lu Yingquan's mind was too simple, and everything was on her face, if she couldn't take this opportunity to educate her, she might make the same mistake in the future.
And Yun Yao is the same age as Lu Yingquan, some things are naturally difficult to say clearly, if Yingquan doesn't understand it, it will inevitably make her feel disgusted again, so this can only be said by Su Xin, as a person who has come over.
"I understand, Yun Yao even took the charge of disrespecting the Queen Mother for me, I shouldn't suspect that she is hypocritical. Lu Yingquan nodded and responded, "Sister Su Xin, Yun Yao's news is entrusted to you, if you need me to do something, you can come to me directly." β
"Okay, you go back first, be on an errand, don't make mistakes in the past few days, lest you be troubled everywhere like the last time. Su Xin reminded him, and sent Lu Yingquan away.
Soon after Yingquan left, Su thought about it for a while, and then went out as well.
She has been in the palace for decades, and she still has connections to inquire about something, so for the sake of today, she can only figure out the situation of Jianzhang Palace first.
At this time, there was already a dark tide in Jianzhang Palace.
The general Gu Qingming sat in the first position below, looking at the Queen Mother Qin with a respectful expression, waiting for the Queen Mother to speak.
The Empress Dowager Qin sat on the soft couch at the top, and behind her stood Aunt Jinxiu to serve her, while beside her, there was a young woman who was about twenty-nine years old.
The woman was born clear and delicate, although her appearance is not superior, but there is some heroism between her eyebrows, she is dressed in a lake blue placket lined with her figure Nana, her hair is combed into the simplest flowing cloud bun, only a few pearls are embellished in the hair, simple but elegant.
She is the fiancΓ©e of the general Gu Qingming, Wu Qianwen.
"It's really good!" The Queen Mother looked at the woman beside her, nodded slightly, and admired.
And at this moment, the maid outside the palace came in, bowed and saluted, and then said:
"The Queen Mother, the beauty of Mingluan Hall Zhou asked to see, saying that she had found a girl who was disrespectful to the Queen Mother, and she specially brought it over to the Queen Mother to dispose of. β
"I want to please the mourning family, but I have to use such a strenuous method......" The Qin family couldn't help but shake their heads when they heard the palace maid's report, "That's it, announce her in, the mourning family has been bored in this Jianzhang Palace all day long, but I also want to see what good drama she has arranged for the mourning family." β
"Wow. The palace maid bowed her head and turned to leave.
After the palace maid left, the queen mother looked at Wu Qianwen again, with a smile on her face, and seemed to like her very much.
"The people's daughter thanked the Queen Mother for her compliment. Wu Qianwen was slightly blessed and thanked the Queen Mother.
"Gu Qing's family, Qianwen, this girl, the mourning family likes her very much when they see her. Although the mourning family pointed her out to you, but she is still young after all, she is not in a hurry to get married, the old general Wu has passed away, he is old and has a daughter, he must be very favored, the mourning family wants to leave Qianwen in the palace for two years, which can be regarded as the respect and compensation of the mourning family for the old general Wu. The Queen Mother took Wu Qianwen's hand and said to Gu Qingming below, as if she was asking for his opinion.
However, Gu Qingming knew that the Queen Mother was on guard against him, obviously staying in the Fenglai Water Pavilion for a few days, but today it has become two years to keep her.
When Yun Yao was brought in by the two chamberlains, she happened to hear the Queen Mother's words.
The words "Gu Qingjia" broke into her ears so suddenly, but she didn't even have the courage to raise her head.
Yun Yao was thrown to the ground casually, making a loud noise, and fell hard.
"The concubine asked the queen mother to say goodbye. Zhou Meiren took a few steps forward, saluted the Queen Mother, and then greeted.
"Which one are you? This palace maid...... The third-class palace maid, and she doesn't hang out in front of you, why is she messing with you?" the Queen Mother changed her smiling expression, looked at Zhou Meiren, and asked.
"The Empress Dowager Qi, this palace maid is not provoking the concubines, but she is disrespectful to the Empress Dowager, you are very disrespectful-" Zhou Meiren explained, and said the words about "playing with power" in the peach orchard.
Zhou Meiren's voice fell, and there was silence in Jianzhang Palace, and it was even silently a little weird.
The Qin clan just said that they wanted to keep Wu Qianwen by their side, the purpose was to keep a hostage and use it to clamp down on Gu Qingming and the military power in his hands, but at this moment, someone said that she was playing with power, and this invisible slap was equivalent to a direct slap in the face of the Qin clan.
Most of the people in Jianzhang Palace are smart people, so how could they not understand what the Queen Mother meant? Most of the palace maids' lives could not be kept.
"Pull down the cane and die. Finally, the Queen Mother spoke.
The two mothers-in-law came in soon and dragged Yun Yao to go out, but the word "cane death" came to Yun Yao's mind, and when she remembered that Xiangqin died, her heart suddenly moved, she broke free from the hands of the two mothers-in-law, and knelt in the hall again.
"The Queen Mother atons for her sins, and the slave still has something to say-"
As soon as Yun Yao said this, the atmosphere in the hall changed in an instant, and Aunt Jinxiu looked at the palace maid on the ground in disbelief. This voice is clearly Yun Yao's, a person who has always been cautious and intelligent, would say such a rebellious thing?
Thinking like this, Aunt Jinxiu hurriedly leaned over to the Queen Mother's ear and whispered a few words, but saw that the Queen Mother also raised her eyebrows in surprise, and then looked at Yun Yao on the ground.
And Gu Qingming on the side, the indifference on his face had already been shattered inch by inch, only forbearance and restraint remained, and he used his determination to march and fight for many years to tell himself, don't be impulsive.
When Yun Yao was brought in, he kept his head down, and his face was a little red and swollen from being slapped by Zhou Meiren's two slaps, Gu Qingming didn't look closely, but when he heard Yun Yao's voice this time, the shock in his heart was no less than that of Aunt Jinxiu.
Yun Yao has always known what to say and what not to say, how could she make such a big mistake today?
The Queen Mother learned from Jinxiu's mouth that the person kneeling on the ground was that Yun Yao, so she became a little interested, she really wanted to know, what else could Yun Yao have to say.
"Oh, what else do you want to say?" Empress Dowager Qin thought and asked, "Could it be ...... Do you still want to talk about mourning the family and the chicken?"
"The slave maid doesn't dare!" Yun Yao kowtowed to the Queen Mother, then stabilized her mind before slowly speaking, "Actually, the slave maid did not have any disrespect for the Queen Mother, all of this was speculated by Zhou Meiren herself, if the Queen Mother allowed it, the slave and maid are willing to prove their innocence." β
"When you say that, you're saying that this palace is playing right and wrong? You, you are so bold!" As soon as Zhou Meiren heard Yun Yao's words, she became angry again.
But because the Queen Mother was really interested in Yun Yao, she coldly swept Zhou Meiren, and the cold light in her eyes made Zhou Meiren stop instantly, standing aside, frightened.
"Yes, tell me about it. The Queen Mother immediately agreed, she wanted to listen, in such a situation, how this little palace maid would defend herself.
"Thank you, Queen Mother. Yun Yao saluted again, then knelt down in front of Zhou Meiren, and asked, "May I ask Zhou Meiren, have you ever heard what the real slave maid said at that time?"
"What else can you say? It's nothing more than that you said that the Queen Mother played with power, and then was heard by the palace. Although Zhou Meiren is afraid of the Queen Mother, she is not afraid of Yun Yao, "This palace can hear it clearly, don't try to deny it." β
"Dare to ask Zhou Meiren, what kind of tone did the slave and maid speak in at that time? Why did the slave and maid say that the queen mother was playing with power? What was the previous sentence of the slave and maid? When talking with other third-class palace maids, why did they mention the high-ranking queen mother?" Yun Yao asked again, pressing step by step, one question more serious than the other.
"I ...... How do I know? I'm so far away, and I'm angry, where do I care what you say!" Zhou Meiren was blinded by Yun Yao's series of questions, and these words blurted out.
However, the moment she said it, the Queen Mother's face changed again, and Gu Qingming was faintly relieved in her heart.
Yun Yao's nervousness also decreased a little, she had already seen that Zhou Meiren was angry at that time, and she also knew that Zhou Meiren was a person who couldn't hold her breath, and after a series of unfounded questions were asked, she would definitely be annoyed, as long as she was annoyed, her speech would be full of flaws.
"Yes, Zhou Meiren said it herself just now, she was far away at the time, and she was angry, she didn't care what the slaves and maids said, she didn't know what the slaves and maids were discussing at the time, and she didn't know why the slaves and maids mentioned the Queen Mother, but she heard the slaves and maids say that the Queen Mother was playing with power, which was a contradiction in itself. Yun Yao said, "So...... It was Zhou Meiren who misheard. β
