readx;? No one knew what was brewing in this palace, some people were calm and unwavering, while others were in a worried mood. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

As the minutes passed, the sun was gradually covered by clouds, losing the brilliance of the day, leaving only the residual temperature to envelop the entire land of Ninggong.

Fall......

Yun Yao stood in front of the window, looking at the fading afterglow in the western sky, silently reciting these two words in her heart, and then turned to Yun Yao and said:

"Queen Mother, we can go to Jianzhang Palace. ”

"Let's go, then. When Rong Ya heard this, she immediately got up and walked towards Jianzhang Palace, accompanied by Yun Yao and Zhuzhi.

Although it wasn't as hot outside as during the day, the heat was still there, but Rong Ya and Yun Yao didn't care, because they were in a hurry to go to Jianzhang Palace.

At this time, the Queen Mother was lying on the chair of Jianzhang Palace, with her eyes closed, fanning by Jinxiu's side, enjoying the cool breeze.

"Empress Dowager, the queen mother is here. At this moment, Father-in-law Zhao came in from outside and told the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother opened her eyes, a glimmer of light flashed in her eyes, and she got up with the support of Jinxiu and sat on the chair: "It's been four days, and the mourning family still thinks that the death of the palace maid is over." ”

"Presumably, it was the queen mother and the young envoy Yun who had the result, so they came to ask to see them. Jinxiu said, and then gestured to Zhao Gonggong and asked Rong Ya to come in.

After a while, Rong Ya took Yun Yao into the main hall of Jianzhang Palace.

"Ya'er said hello to the Queen Mother. Rong Ya took the lead in saluting, and after getting the permission of the Queen Mother, she walked to the high platform and sat beside the Queen Mother.

"Slave Yunyao, see Queen Mother. Yun Yao also knelt down to salute the Queen Mother, and then said, "The slave maid was ordered by the Queen Mother to investigate the death of the palace maid Xiaoxi. ”

"Tell me, what have you discovered? But what are the doubters?" asked the Queen Mother.

"Back to the Queen Mother's words, the slave maid found two identical lines on Xiaoxi's confession and her corpse. Yun Yao opened his mouth and said, "In the end, it was found that this pattern is called the cloud pattern, and it is the embroidery pattern on the clothes of the palace maids of the Mingluan Palace, so ...... The slave and maid affirmed that the death of the palace maid Xiaoxi was related to the Mingluan Palace. ”

"Mingluan Palace?Zhou Meiren?" The Queen Mother couldn't help frowning when she heard Yun Yao's words.

"Exactly. Yun Yao nodded and said, "Queen Mother, but the slave maid only investigated this matter secretly and did not make a noise, so Zhou Meiren did not know that the slave maid had evidence in her hands for the time being." In order to avoid startling the snake, she also asked the Queen Mother to send someone to invite Zhou Meiren to Jianzhang Palace and confront the slave and maid face to face. ”

Yun Yao's words are reasonable, after all, the turmoil in the harem should not be big before there is a fixed number, so it can only be handled in a low-key manner. So after thinking for a moment, the Queen Mother turned her head and said:

"Jinxiu, you personally go to Mingluan Hall and call Zhou Meiren to the mourning family. ”

"Yes, slave and maid will go. Jinxiu nodded, and then left Jianzhang Palace and went to Mingluan Hall to pass on the decree.

When the Queen Mother knew that Xiaoxi's death was related to Zhou Meiren, the look on her face was serious with a faint anger. Because she knew that if Xiaoxi was really killed by Zhou Meiren, then Zhou Meiren must have nothing to do with Yun Yao's poison, so ...... This week's beauty is likely to be a poisonous snake hidden in the harem.

If Zhou Meiren wants to solve Yun Yao and Lu Yingquan at one time through this poisoning, it would be too naΓ―ve.

"Yun Yao, you get up first. When the Queen Mother saw Jinxiu leaving, she instructed Yun Yao, "Zhou Meiren will come over in a while, and you have to confront her." ”

"Thank you for the grace of the Empress Dowager. Yun Yao said, got up and stood aside, waiting tightly.

The atmosphere in the hall was a little depressing, Rong Ya was afraid that the Queen Mother would see something, so she tried to find a topic, pretending to be a pistachio to make the Queen Mother happy, but Yun Yao was standing below, not knowing what she was thinking.

At this time, Jinxiu was on the order of the Queen Mother, and was walking towards the Mingluan Palace, but when she just walked to the door, she wanted to let the eunuch guarding the palace door report, but found that the main hall gate of the entire Mingluan Hall was empty.

Such a scene really surprised her, Mingluan Hall is also one of the main halls of the six palaces, it is heavily guarded on weekdays, and this week's beauty is also very guarded, why is there not even a person guarding the door today?

With a puzzled mood, Jinxiu walked inside, she was really afraid that something terrible had happened in this Mingluan Palace.

The further she went, the more confused she became, until she heard two different voices coming from inside, as if arguing over something. Not far away, there are faintly some palace maids or eunuchs around, standing there sporadically, as if watching the excitement.

Jinxiu frowned, and walked towards the source of the voice, the closer the distance, the clearer the sound of the quarrel, she recognized these two figures, Zhou Meiren and Yang Liangren.

And all the palace people in the Mingluan Hall were hiding nearby to watch the excitement, and no one even noticed the arrival of Aunt Jinxiu, and even when Jinxiu was already standing nearby, seeing the scene of Zhou Meiren and Yang Liangren arguing, no one noticed it.

"Don't spew blood, you said that I poisoned Young Envoy Yun, you have to come up with evidence!" Zhou Meiren looked at Yang Liangren with a proud face, and said, "Don't forget, you are just a little good man now, and you can't show evidence to be presumptuous in front of me, this is the following crime, even in front of the Queen Mother and the Queen, you are also at a loss!"

"Evidence, evidence is in your palace! Do you dare to let me search for it?" Yang Liangren said.

"Why do you want to search? What qualifications do you have to be arrogant in front of me? Yang Meiting, do you still think that you are the Yang Meiren who was invincible before, and even Jiang Xiulan wanted to let you score three points?" Zhou Meiren said, "Your father is dead, you have also been demoted, and the emperor's favor of you is only temporary!"

"Are you still qualified to mention my father? Don't think I don't know, my father died unexpectedly while traveling south to control the water, and you did it!" Yang Liangren said, "In order to make me unable to turn over in the palace, you bought a murderer and killed my father!"

"You are talking nonsense!" Zhou Meiren listened to Yang Liangren's words, and was horrified in her heart, but she pretended to be calm and tried not to let people see any clues.

"Do I have nonsense, you know it in your own heart!" Yang Liangren said, "There is no impermeable wall in the world, you think you are doing it seamlessly, but many things have already been exposed!"

"Hmph, joke. Your father died in the floods in the south, and he died for the imperial court, but you want to say that he died under the killer's knife, and you want to pour dirty water on me. If I were your father, I wouldn't be able to look down on Jiuquan!" Zhou Meiren began to use strong words.

"Don't try to change the topic, do you know where you were defeated? I heard that General Gu was injured and poisoned in the south, and the poison in it is called Seven Days, and the poison you instructed the palace maid Xiaoxi to poison Yun Shao Envoy is also Seven Days. How do you explain this?" Yang Meiren told the news she had inquired about from elsewhere in the past few days.

"I don't understand what you're talking about, what seven days of entanglement, I don't know at all. Yun Shao's poisoning has nothing to do with me, and Yang Yushi's death has nothing to do with me. Zhou Meiren said, "You are not welcome in the Mingluan Palace, please leave." Also, if you dare to say anything outside, be careful that I want you to look good!"

"Don't rely on your current grade to be higher than mine, you can do whatever you want, I must go to the Queen Mother to denounce you!" Yang Liangren spoke again.

"Whatever you want. You don't have proof, even if it's really me?" Zhou Meiren sneered, "Do you think the Queen Mother will believe your words?"

Aunt Jinxiu stood not far away, listening to the words of Zhou Meiren and Yang Liangren, and only felt shocked in her heart. She didn't expect that she would see such a scene when she came this time!

Yang Liangren obviously wanted to make a big deal out of it, so he quarreled with Zhou Meiren in this courtyard, and Zhou Meiren was obviously too confident in what she had done, and felt that Yang Liangren had no evidence in his hands, so he had no fear.

However, Yun Yao had already found the connection between Xiao Xi's death and Mingluan Palace, indicating that Yun Yao's poisoning was indeed related to Zhou Meiren. And the poison in the hands of Zhou Meiren is exactly the same as the poison in the hands of the Beidi people in the south, and even serves as an antidote to each other, this matter is ......

Thinking of this, Jinxiu suddenly felt that something was wrong, she immediately turned around, and before alarming the two masters, she left the Mingluan Palace, hurriedly returned to Jianzhang Palace, and told the Queen Mother everything she saw and heard.

After all, in Jinxiu's heart, Rong Ya and Yun Yao are both the Queen Mother's people, and they are the chess pieces that the Queen Mother put in the harem to consolidate her power, and they still have evidence of Zhou Meiren's murder in their hands, so even if they know, it doesn't matter.

"The Queen Mother, listening to the meaning of Yang Liangren's words, it seems that there is really evidence to prove that it was Zhou Meiren who bought the murder and killed Yang Yushi. But the news from Lu Shangyi's side that it was the Beidi people who assassinated Yang Yushi and seriously injured General Gu, which also shows that ......" Jinxiu said this after relaying the conversation between Yang Liang and Zhou Meiren.

She didn't finish her sentence, but the meaning was self-evident.

The Queen Mother was silent and did not answer, as if she was thinking about something, but at this time, Yun Yao slowly spoke, as if talking to herself, and as if she was talking to the Queen Mother:

"That's right, so everything makes sense. ”

"What do you mean by making sense?" the Queen Mother asked, turning her head.

"Does the Queen Mother still remember the two coincidences that the slave maid said at the time? First, why did the Seven Days Entanglement appear in the south and the palace at the same time; and second, why the people who had accidents one after another were all the Queen Mother's people. Yun Yao heard the Queen Mother's question, so she hurriedly knelt on the top of the hall again, and said slowly, "The slave maid has been thinking about what the connection between these coincidences is, and now after listening to Aunt Jinxiu's words, she feels that everything has formed a clue, which is reasonable." ”

The Queen Mother looked at Yun Yao, as if she was exploring the meaning of her words.

The hall fell silent again, Yun Yao felt the Queen Mother's eyes fall on her, she knew that this matter was the most critical, and there could be no mistake for a moment, so she had to say everything seamlessly in order to dispel the Queen Mother's suspicions, and then let the Queen Mother go down the path she had designed in advance.
