Chapter 086: Reminiscences
readx;? When I saw Lu Yingquan, it was already the middle of the moon. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The surroundings of the cold palace were deserted, and the four fields were silent, only a few unknown insects and birds occasionally sounded in the night sky, making this night seem less lifeless.
Gu Qingming took out the fire fold from his sleeve as usual, illuminated the whole room, and when he found two dusty candlesticks in the room, he walked over, gently blew the ashes away, and then lit the candles on the candlesticks.
Maybe it was too old, Gu Qingming lit it several times before lighting the candle.
When the room was bright, Yun Yao saw Lu Yingquan huddled in the corner of a dilapidated room in the Cold Palace, his hands around his knees, and his head buried in the crook of his arms.
In a day's time, Lu Yingquan seemed to have changed, her hair was messy, her clothes were dirty, and she occasionally raised her head, but she also looked blank, as if she was immersed in some terrible memory, and she didn't want to think about it.
Yun Yao looked at Shen Ze and was apprehensive.
"Well, according to the clues provided by Xiao Yuzi, I found here, and when I met her, it was like this. Shen Ze didn't have the emperor's shelf at all, tilted his head, and looked at Lu Yingquan in the room.
Yun Yao took a deep breath and walked in with an uneasy feeling.
When she first entered the house, a puff of smoke and dust came to her face, causing Yun Yao to cough a few times involuntarily. She fanned her hand in front of her, fanning away the smoke and dust from her mouth and nose, and then continued to walk forward and came to Lu Yingquan.
Squatting down gently, looking at Lu Yingquan's eyes, Yun Yao seemed to be guessing something.
After a long while, she stretched out her hand and slowly touched Lu Yingquan, and found that Yingquan had no intention of resisting or objecting, so she relieved herself.
Yun Yao held Yingquan's wrist and checked her pulse, and found that there was nothing wrong with Yingquan's body, it seemed that she was just frightened.
The room was very quiet, Shen Ze and Gu Qingming didn't speak, they just stood side by side, paying close attention to the two girls squatting on the ground.
I don't know how long it took, Yun Yao suddenly let go of Yingquan's hand, and then opened her arms to hug her, tightly, and then gently patted Yingquan's back, as if to soothe.
"Yingquan, it's me. Yun Yao's tone was very soft, resounding in Lu Yingquan's ears, "Don't be afraid, I'm here." ”
After a while, the expression on Lu Yingquan's face began to change, no longer like that, but turned into horror, followed by mourning, and then hugged Yun Yao and cried loudly:
"Yun Yao-I thought I was going to die here-"
The voice cried a little miserable, and the mourning turned for a long time, but fortunately this is a cold palace, and there are no normal people around, and those sinners who are locked in it often howl in the middle of the night, so it will not arouse the suspicion of others.
"It's okay, you're not going to die here because I'm here. Yun Yao smiled lightly and said, "Look, not only am I here, but the emperor and General Gu are also here, with them, you will definitely be fine." ”
After listening to Yun Yao's words, Lu Yingquan seemed to realize that there were two other people in the room, she raised her head, glanced at Shen Ze and Gu Qingming, and did not salute, only wiped her tears, and said:
"Why are you all here?"
"I said that you little palace maid, you have a pretty big face! I actually let me dress like this in the middle of the night and come out to find you in person. Shen Ze saw that Lu Yingquan had recovered, so he teased, "Isn't it normal for you? Why did you pretend not to know me when I came here just now?"
"Your Majesty, wearing night clothes and being a thief in your own palace is your habit, and it has nothing to do with Yingquan. Yun Yao also seemed to understand this Shen Ze's temperament, so she boldly spoke, "Also, just now Yingquan was stunned because she was surprised, and it was normal not to recognize people, not deliberately not giving the emperor a son." ”
"Gu Qingming, look at you. Shen Ze listened to Yun Yao's words, and immediately taught Gu Qingming a lesson with a straight face, "Can't you understand my hard work? ”
"What the emperor said is that Weichen knows his mistake. Gu Qingming listened to Shen Ze's reprimand, but he also confessed his guilt in a good manner, but the smile on his face did not mean to know his mistake at all.
Lu Yingquan hadn't figured out the reason for this, he just looked at the three people in front of him blankly, and was about to say something, but he heard Yun Yao speak:
"Yingquan, can you tell me, how did you get to the cold palace?"
"I ......" Lu Yingquan heard Yun Yao's question, as if he remembered something terrible, and the fear on his face was deeper than before, "I didn't know this was the cold palace, I fled in a panic, and when I saw that the house was empty, I came in......"
"Why did you run away?" Yun Yao asked, grasping the point of Yingquan's words.
"Murder...... Because I saw killing!" Lu Yingquan said, "Rumei died, it was Aunt Tassel who killed her, and she still wanted to kill me, but I ran away......"
"The mystery of Rumei's death has been solved, and everyone already knows it. When Shen Ze heard this, he said, "Tell me, why did you see the tassel kill Rumei?"
Lu Yingquan originally thought that Rumei's death would not be discovered so soon, but he didn't expect that the real culprit had already been found out.
Knowing that the tassel was caught, she also settled down a little, and then after thinking about it, she carefully recalled the ins and outs of the matter, and slowly told it.
It turned out that before Luo Gonggong reminded Yun Yao and Yingquan that when something big happened recently, Shuwen was not the only one who saw it, but Rumei also saw it.
Rumei not only saw but also heard the conversation between Grandpa Luo and Yun Yao.
When she was in Yeting Palace before, because Yun Yao was imprisoned in a water prison, Rumei was sent to Lu Yingquan's side by Aunt Yuehe and monitored her for a few days. Because Rumei is Aunt Yue's eyeliner, Lu Yingquan doesn't treat her well, and even speaks ill of her, so Rumei holds a grudge.
This time, when she heard the conversation between Gonggong Luo and the two, she felt that she could take advantage of this opportunity to take revenge, so she reported the matter to Yang Meiren, after all, Yang Meiren is now in charge of harem affairs, and she is more capable of doing the master.
Yang Meiren was also unwilling because of Yun Yao and Lu Yingquan's refusal to go to Jiuhua Palace, and after listening to Rumei's words, she immediately came up with an idea in her heart, that is, to plan the plan.
In Yang Meiren's heart, smart and cautious palace maids like Yun Yao and Lu Yingquan, if they can't be used by her, they can only be ruined in advance, so as not to fall into the hands of others and become someone else's weapon.
Since Gonggong Luo had already warned Yun Yao and Lu Yingquan that there was likely to be a death, why not take this opportunity to directly solve these two people?
Therefore, after gaining insight into Yang Meiren's thoughts, the tassel gave Yang Meiren an idea and wanted to break them all.
When Yun Yao went to Yeting Palace for lunch, let Rumei go to lure Lu Yingquan out of Qionghuatai, as for the reason used to lead it out, it was naturally Lu Yingquan's conversation with Luo's father-in-law.
Rumei followed Aunt Tassel's instructions and led Lu Yingquan to the well in Zhuyuan, wanting to kill her here, and then killed Rumei again, blaming Yun Yao's head, killing two birds with one stone.
But she didn't expect that Rumei was also a smart person, and she quickly understood Tassel's intentions, so when Tassel made a move on Lu Yingquan, she turned around and wanted to run, but was grabbed by her hair by Tassel, and then pressed her into the well water, so that she couldn't breathe, so she drowned alive.
Lu Yingquan witnessed this with his own eyes, and was scared in his heart, so he ran away while the tassel had not yet reacted.
Tassel knew that he couldn't let the secret leak out, so he chased after him, and it was noon at that time, and the palace people on duty had gone back to the dining room to eat, and few of them walked outside.
In addition, in order to avoid tassels, Lu Yingquan specially picked some relatively hidden paths, and he really didn't meet anyone along the way, until he ran into this room in the cold palace.
"I don't dare to go out, I'm afraid that the tassel is waiting outside, she killed Rumei, and she will definitely want to kill me again. At the end, Lu Yingquan opened his mouth and said, "Yun Yao, I'm really scared, I've never seen a murderous ......."
"I know I know, don't be afraid, it's fine. Yun Yao saw that Lu Yingquan seemed to be crying again, so she hurriedly took her hand and said, "The tassel has been found out, and even the Queen Mother already knows about her killing Rumei, if she lives a lot, she may still be panting in the Punishment Division now......"
"Really......? Am I really okay?" Lu Yingquan asked.
"With me here, can you still have something to do?" Shen Ze listened to Lu Yingquan's words and said, "Actually, you really shouldn't be hiding, Yun Yao's scene in the afternoon to find the real culprit in the autopsy was really good." ”
"Autopsy to find the real culprit?" Lu Yingquan looked at Yun Yao, a blank look flashed on his face.
"Yang Meiren and Aunt Tassel's plan is also half completed. Yun Yao said, "They blamed Rumei's death on me and wanted to kill me." But I examined Rumei's body, found out the flaws, and solved the game. ”
"Yun Yao, I knew that you were so smart, you would definitely not be calculated by them. When Lu Yingquan heard this, he couldn't help but smile on his face, and said, "It's not like me, when I encounter this kind of thing, I will only come here to hide." ”
"You're right to hide, at least now you're alive, we're all alive. Yun Yao said.
"Well, we're all alive. Lu Yingquan also smiled and nodded, "This time, I feel like I really wandered in front of the ghost gate once, in the palace...... It's horrible. ”
"Then do you still want to enter the inner palace?" Yun Yao listened to Lu Yingquan's words, but asked.
Lu Yingquan was silent for a long time, gritted his teeth, but still spoke: "Yes." ”
This word, said categorically, without hesitation, with unprecedented firmness in his eyes.
"Because I have tasted the fear of death, I don't want to face death again, and the way to keep myself from facing death is to make myself stronger, so that no one can hurt himself. Seeing that Yun Yao was silent, Yingquan spoke again, "Whether it's me or you, we all have to become stronger." ”
