Chapter 056: Confirming the Speculation
readx;? In the main hall of the Hehuan Temple, there was silence. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The huge ice cubes placed around them, under the condition that the palace people fanned them hard, exuded a trace of coolness, although it could not completely reduce the heat of this midsummer, but it also made people feel a cool breeze from time to time, refreshing people's hearts.
On such occasions, Xu Liang and Du Liang have always been cautious and dare not speak falsely, lest they say the wrong thing, offend the high-grade concubines on their heads, and be hated. And Rong Ya also looked at Zhou Meiren with a good face, only feeling that she was more arrogant than before after Yang Liangren was grounded.
"Listening to the meaning of Zhou Meiren's words, what do you think about the many things that have happened in the harem recently?" Jiang Meiren has always been a person who is afraid that the world will not be chaotic, and she is not used to seeing people and things, and she does not bother to hide them, but is outspoken.
"That's not true, but the queen mother is young and inevitably thinks about things inconsiderately, so she called our sisters over, isn't it also to brainstorm and come up with an effective way to solve the problem?" Zhou Meiren said with a smile.
"It seems that Zhou Meiren is dissatisfied with the queen......'s mother? Zhou Meiren boasts that she can be more thoughtful than Niangniang?" Jiang Meiren was-for-tat.
There was tension in the hall, and everyone had a condensation expression on their faces, and they didn't dare to say more, for fear of harming themselves.
"Enough. It was at this time that Rong Ya spoke out to stop her, "This palace knows that the two sisters are arguing for the peace of the harem. The two sisters are worried about the palace, and the palace is grateful, but today the palace called the sisters over to inquire about the palace maid who died as soon as possible, does anyone know what the situation is?"
"Qiyu Queen Mother's words, the concubine's Qutai Pavilion is far away from Changming Palace, except for the Jianzhang Palace and Hehuan Hall on weekdays, rarely go out, the death of the palace maid in Changming Palace, but also only a little heard, I don't know what I know, I can't help the mother, and ask the queen to forgive the sin. After Xu Liangren listened to the queen's words, he got up and saluted and said so.
Things in the palace are complicated, even if it is the death of an inconsequential palace maid, it may affect the whole body. Therefore, the best thing for people in the palace is to protect themselves, and some things are clearly known, but they still have to pretend not to know, so as not to arouse suspicion.
"What Sister Xu said is that the concubine's Lantai Pavilion is even more remote, and often the matter is over, and the news has not reached the ears of the concubine. The matter of this palace maid is still the concubine on the way here, walking with Sister Xu, so I only know a little bit about it. The concubine was afraid of misleading the mother's judgment, so she didn't dare to speak up. Du Liangren also spoke.
The words of the two of them can be regarded as seamless, and Rong Ya doesn't even have room to refute. After all, it is a fact that Qutai Pavilion and Lantai Pavilion are remote, and Rong Ya doesn't know which people in Changming Palace are the eyeliner of these two people, so she can't continue to ask, so she focuses on Jiang Meiren and Zhou Meiren.
"Sister Jiang, have you heard anything recently?" asked Rong Ya.
"Queen, you're asking the right person. The concubine heard that when Young Envoy Yun was recuperating from his injuries in Changming Palace, he was poisoned and almost died, and it was this dead palace maid Xiaoxi who served the decoction to Young Envoy Yun. The concubine felt that even if there was really something wrong with the death of this palace maid, the first person who should be suspected should be the young envoy Yun beside the mother. Jiang Meiren glanced at Yun Yao, and without a trace, she deducted the charge on her head.
Yun Yao lived in Changming Palace before, protected by Shen Ze, even if she was jealous, there was nothing she could do. But now that Yun Yao has a good return to Huan Palace, if she doesn't drag Yun Yao into the water, how can she be worthy of the anger she has been holding for days?
Jiang Meiren is a special person in the palace, she does not take the initiative to compete for favor, but she does not refuse the emperor's favor; she is not used to all the concubines in the palace, and never interacts with them, or forms an alliance; she competes with Yang Liangren, and fights with Zhou Meiren, and makes many enemies in the harem, but she has never befriended anyone. Even a female official like Yun Yao who is so favored, she has to fight, but she doesn't know what her idea is.
And Zhou Meiren on the side had already looked at Yun Yao unpleasantly, she didn't want to deal with another Yun Yao after she had overthrown a Yang Liangren. Now that Jiang Meiren is helping her, she can be regarded as one more helper, so she echoed:
"Sister Jiang is right, if you want to investigate, you have to start with Young Envoy Yun. Zhou Meiren said, "In this way, we can be impartial and convince the sisters of the mother's style." ”
"The two sisters are too careful, Yun Yao has been in the Hehuan Hall since she woke up, only this morning I went to Jianzhang Palace, this palace and the Queen Mother can testify for Yun Yao, she didn't have the time to do such a hurtful thing. Rong Ya said, "If the two sisters don't believe it, you can go to the Queen Mother to confront you." ”
Rong Ya said this calmly, her face was full of confidence, there was no stage fright at all, and she didn't make people feel that she deliberately said this to protect Yun Yao.
In fact, before the arrival of these concubines, Yun Yao had already guessed that someone might point the finger at her for this matter. She was originally Zhou Meiren in the future, but she didn't expect that it would be Jiang Meiren who took the lead. But fortunately, no matter who it was, she gave Rong Ya a set of reasonable explanations, so that people could not find any flaws.
While Rong Ya was talking to these concubines, Yun Yao was also observing the clothes or handkerchiefs on these people's bodies, and she didn't let go of everything that could be printed with patterns.
Sure enough, when Zhou Meiren was speaking, Yun Yao kept looking at the lotus heart behind her and found evidence.
Lianxin is Zhou Meiren's personal palace maid, and she is also the first-class palace maid of Mingluan Palace, although she does not have a title and grade, but with the support of Zhou Meiren, Lianxin's status in Mingluan Hall is equivalent to Yun Yao's status in Hehuan Palace, and it can be regarded as the head of the first palace.
According to the grade of the Daning palace maid, the first-class palace maid wears azure palace clothes, and in order to distinguish the different clothes of each palace and each hall, so as not to make a mistake when washing clothes in the Huanyi Bureau, the division will embroider different patterns on the neckline and cuffs when making clothes, so as to distinguish them.
Therefore, the azure palace dress of the same first-class palace maid, only the palace dress of the palace maid of the Mingluan Palace, is embroidered with cloud patterns, and the other palaces are other patterns. And the lines that Yun Yao found in the book of repentance and Xiaoxi were the cloud patterns.
Confirming the guess in her heart, Yun Yao stood behind Rong Ya more and more deferentially, watching these concubines point the finger at her, but fighting with each other, she only felt helpless in her heart.
And these concubines didn't know Yun Yao's purpose, and they didn't know that Zhou Meiren had been exposed in front of Yun Yao, so they only listened to Rong Ya's words and felt embarrassed for a while. After all, Yun Yao is a female official in the queen's palace on the surface, but in fact she is the queen mother's person, and no one has the courage to confront the queen mother.
"Since the queen has said so, the concubine has nothing else to say. Anyway, there is no reliable news about the concubines here, and instead of wasting time on the concubines, the queen mother should go to Changming Palace and ask those palace maids and eunuchs more, maybe there will be something to gain. Jiang Meiren said, "It's not early, Father-in-law Luo came to the Xuanhe Hall in the morning to pass on the emperor's message, saying that the emperor's dinner should be used in the Xuanhe Palace." The concubine took her leave first. ”
"In that case, Sister Jiang walked slowly. Rong Ya listened to these words, she was not angry at all, and still sent Jiang Meiren away with a smile.
When the other concubines saw Jiang Meiren leaving, they also got up to say goodbye and left the main hall of the Hehuan Hall in turn. The moment they walked out, a burst of heat came, hitting all over the body, and it was not cooler than in the temple at all.
"This queen is the queen in the end, the Hehuan Hall is more comfortable than my Lantai Pavilion, the ice cubes of the Internal Affairs House, I am afraid that in addition to the Jianzhang Palace, it will be sent to the Hehuan Palace." After Du Liangren walked out of the hall, he walked with Xu Liangren, and the two whispered.
"As the mother of a country, the queen should naturally be the best to eat and wear, which is the envy of others. Xu Liangren also smiled and spoke.
"What's the matter? Do you still want to move to the Hehuan Palace?" At this moment, Zhou Meiren passed by them, heard the conversation between the two, and couldn't help but say, "When the emperor was still a prince, you followed him, and you haven't been able to run out for so many years, why are you ambitious now?"
"Zhou Meiren misunderstood, the concubine just said it casually, and she didn't mean it. Xu Liang and Du Liang hurriedly saluted, looking terrified.
"Forgive me for not having the guts!" Zhou Meiren snorted coldly, and after sneering at Xu Liangren and Du Liangren, she turned her head and left arrogantly.
In fact, in such an eventful season, Zhou Meiren should not be so high-profile, after all, the more high-profile she is, the more attention she will attract, and it is easy to be discovered. But Zhou Meiren has been in the palace for so long, and she has never been a low-key and introverted person, if she suddenly changes, it will inevitably make people even more suspicious.
After Zhou Meiren left, Xu Liang and Du Liangren glanced at each other, only feeling a little afraid, the two were busy keeping silent, and they didn't dare to say anything more, so they went directly out of the Hehuan Hall and headed towards their respective palaces.
However, in the main hall of the Hehuan Palace, after all the concubines had left, Rong Ya breathed a sigh of relief, turned her head and asked Yun Yao, "How is it?
"It's really the lotus heart by Zhou Meiren's side. Yun Yao said.
"Then let's go and tell the Queen Mother and ask her to call the shots. Rong Ya hurriedly got up and was about to walk outside, "This matter can't just be left like this, Mrs. Zhou often colludes with the Beidi people, but Zhou Meiren still has to make waves in the palace, if she escapes this time, it will only become more and more difficult in the future." ”
"Queen Mother, wait!" Yun Yao heard this, hurriedly stopped the queen, and said, "This matter should not be rushed, this Zhou beauty...... It's also very useful. ”
"What's the matter, Sister Yun Yao, do you want to keep her, but what if she has bad intentions again?" Rong Ya didn't understand.
"She won't be arrogant for long. Yun Yao's eyes flashed slightly, and she sighed so lowly, there seemed to be some unclear expressions in her eyes, which made Rong Ya unclear.
Rong Ya looked at Yun Yao, guessing to herself in her heart, she didn't know what Yun Yao was going to do, and she didn't know what kind of bloody storm would be set off in this harem.
