"Niangniang, what are you looking for?" Yun Yao finally couldn't help the curiosity in her heart and asked. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Well, there are several kinds of white jade jewelry in it, all of which were given to me by my father when I entered the palace. Rong Ya said, and then took out a piece of white jade Buddha from the bag, as well as a white jade hairpin, and a white jade bracelet.

And this bracelet turned out to be exactly the same as the one on Fleur's hand.

Seeing this, Yun Yao hurriedly took the bracelet and looked at it carefully, and all kinds of thoughts flashed in her mind, and she couldn't understand it.

If Hibiscus's bracelet was given by someone behind the scenes, then the person behind the scenes must have access to something as good as white jade. Among the concubines in the palace, in addition to Rong Ya and Mrs. Li, among the others, Xu Meiren's family is in the south, and Du Liangren's father is not of high grade, so it is unlikely that he has this kind of white jade, and only Jiang Meiren's father is guarding near Zhongming Mountain in the northwest, which is the most likely.

"Is there anything wrong with this jade bracelet? I see you've been staring at it for a long time. Seeing the look on Yun Yao's face, Rong Ya asked, "This jade bracelet was originally a pair, but when I entered the palace, I gave one away, and now there is only such a one left." ”

"A pair?" Yun Yao was immediately shocked when she heard this, "Niangniang, what did you say?" This jade bracelet was originally a pair, so who did you give it to?"

"Sister Xu. Rong Ya said, "At that time, you were not by my side on an errand, I had just become a queen, the concubines came to say goodbye, my mother said that I should be generous and generous to be a queen, so I asked Mama Qi and gave each of those sisters a reward, this bracelet is for Sister Xu." I didn't know it was a couple, but after I gave it away, I found out when I turned over the rest of the things. This lonely person in front of me doesn't know what to do with it. ”

"Niangniang, can you lend this white jade bracelet to the slave maid for a day?" Yun Yao thought for a moment, and then asked.

"If you like it, just take it, anyway, it's useless for me to want it, so I might as well give it to you. Rong Ya didn't understand what she meant, so she said.

"No, the slave maid uses this bracelet for a purpose. Yun Yao said, and then told Rong Ya everything she found in Changming Palace.

Since she is on an errand by Rong Ya's side, and some things have to be done with Rong Ya's hands, then she can't hide it from Rong Ya, and she must let Rong Ya know the reason why she does all this. If Rong Ya agrees and supports, it would be great, if Rong Ya does not agree with her approach, then she can only find another way.

After Rong Ya quietly listened to Yun Yao's words, she suddenly realized: "I see, you want this bracelet to test Xu Meiren?"

"That's right. Although Xu Meiren is favored, most of the reason is Yingquan's encouragement, it stands to reason that Xu Meiren has no motive to do this, but she can't guarantee that she feels that Yingquan is a threat and secretly attacked. Yun Yao nodded, "No matter what, things have to be clarified." ”

With Rong Ya's permission, Yun Yao put the bracelet on her wrist, secretly thinking about what kind of excuse she wanted to find Xu Meiren.

Later, she thought that Yingquan had been looking for Jianyue to learn double-sided embroidery before, and she could just take Yingquan's embroidery to find Jianyue, first, she could get close to Xu Meiren and test her with a jade bracelet, and second, she could see their reaction to Yingquan's debasement.

After having an idea, Yun Yao wanted to go out immediately and make a quick decision, but seeing that it was getting late, and now that it had passed, the road was a little far, which seemed too deliberate, so she could only dispel her thoughts and wait for tomorrow.

Yun Yao waited for Rong Ya to have dinner, and talked with Rong Ya for a while before waiting for her to sleep, and she also went back to the house, looking at the white jade bracelet on her wrist in a daze.

I hope it's not Xu Meiren, otherwise...... She also lived up to Yingquan's kindness. If it is really because of Xu Meiren that Yingquan has become what it is now, Yingquan will definitely not be merciful.

The autumn night is very quiet and cool, the evening breeze has been mixed with a trace of coldness, no longer as hot and dry as summer, this kind of weather, the best sleep.

Yun Yao lay on the bed and fell asleep not long after, and after Yun Yao fell asleep as usual and ensured that the surroundings were completely safe, he left the palace at night, returned to the general's mansion, and reported to Gu Qingming.

There are many things like this, Gu Chen is also familiar with the road, he can get rid of the palace guards almost with his eyes closed, and it is only a short time to come and go between the palace and the general's mansion, and when he returns to the Hehuan Hall again, Yun Yao is still immersed in sleep.

Gradually, when the day dawned, Yun Yao opened her eyes at a fixed time, began to wash and dress, and after a little breakfast, she went to wait for Rong Ya to get up.

Today is the first day of the new year, and it should be the day when Rong Ya goes to ask the Queen Mother for peace, although Yun Yao doesn't want to see the Queen Mother, because every time she meets the Queen Mother, she has to be 120,000 points in spirit, for fear that she will say something wrong.

In Jianzhang Palace, the Queen Mother rarely got up early in the morning, she knew that Rong Ya was going to come to ask for peace today, and even couldn't wait to see Yun Yao, wanting to hear what Yun Yao thought about Lu Yingquan's affairs.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Gonggong Zhao to spread the legend that the queen mother was here.

The Queen Mother asked Rong Ya to come in, and after Rong Ya saluted and said goodbye, she let Rong Ya sit beside her and asked, "Ya'er, I haven't seen you go out these days, did it frighten you that day?"

"Is the Queen Mother talking about the day Lu Shangyi was tortured?" Rong Ya did not shy away from it, and said directly, "To be honest, Ya'er was indeed frightened, but fortunately, with Sister Yun Yao by her side, Ya'er got better soon." ”

"Yun Yao. The Queen Mother muttered Yun Yao's name, looked up at Yun Yao who was standing behind Rong Ya, and asked, "Yun Yao, the mourning family asked you, the mourning family didn't find out that day, so they tortured Lu Yingquan, and even chose the most cruel method to detoxify her, do you feel very resentful about the mourning family in your heart?"

When Yun Yao heard the Queen Mother read out her name, she knew that she couldn't run this level, and she was already ready to deal with any questions from the Queen Mother.

Hearing the Queen Mother's inquiry, Yun Yao bowed down and replied: "Back to the Queen Mother's words, I did have some resentment in my heart at that time, and the slave maid always felt that Yingquan could not do such a thing, but she still had to suffer. But after thinking about it, I realized that the Queen Mother was for the good of Yingquan, so not only did she not complain, but she was grateful to the Queen Mother. ”

"Oh, for the sake of Yingquan, how can you say this?" the Queen Mother was intrigued by Yun Yao's words.

"First, the Empress Dowager's torture of Yingquan is ostensibly a settlement of the rumors about the palace maid's charm, but in fact, it tells the emperor that although Lu Yingquan was sent to Changming Palace by the Empress Dowager, it is also dispensable, so that the emperor will not be too defensive of Yingquan, but it is not good for Yingquan; Yun Yao replied in an orderly manner, and the Queen Mother was even more excited when she said something.

"Then don't you want to know what happened to Lu Yingquan?" asked the Queen Mother again.

The slave wanted to know, but the slave was stupid, and she couldn't find any clues. Yun Yao lowered her head and did not tell the clues she had already found, "If this matter can be pitied by the Queen Mother and a fair justice, the slave and maid will definitely do their best and die without giving up." ”

"Then if the mourning family says that this matter is over, no one is allowed to continue to investigate?" asked the Queen Mother.

Yun Yao was shocked, glanced at the Queen Mother deeply, restrained the unwillingness in her eyes, and then said respectfully: "The slave maid will obey the will of the Queen Mother, and she will definitely persuade Yingquan to relax and no longer pursue this matter." ”

"Good. The Queen Mother nodded and said, "You get up first, this matter will be revealed, and you are not allowed to mention it again." ”

"Thank you for the grace of the Empress Dowager. Yun Yao bowed and saluted, then got up and stood behind Rong Ya again.

However, she kept her head down, and no one could see the look on her face clearly, and they didn't know what she was thinking.

Not long after, the other concubines also arrived, and according to the custom, they greeted the Queen Mother and left. Rong Ya was the last to leave Jianzhang Palace, she took Yun Yao and slowly followed behind the concubines in front of her, her face silent.

"Sister Yun Yao, can you see who is responsible for this?" Rong Ya asked, "The Queen Mother has already issued an order not to mention this matter again, so why don't you just stop it?"

According to Yingquan's temperament, she won't stop there. Even if the slave told her that the Queen Mother was not allowed to investigate this matter again, she would not listen, but would investigate it herself. Yun Yao said, "Queen Mother, Yingquan and the slave maid have always supported and helped each other, and she has also helped the slave and maid to block a lot of disasters in front of the Queen Mother, this time, the slave and maid will not give up." ”

"I understand your thoughts, in fact, I also want to know who did this and used such a vicious method. Rong Ya said, "As the master of the harem, it is my dereliction of duty to not be able to see and avenge innocent people." If I can help Sister Yingquan find the person behind this scene, it will be considered my merit. ”

"Queen Mother, you don't have to blame yourself too much, the people in the harem are treacherous, if you can know everything in advance, then the world will be too peaceful. Yun Yao persuaded, "It's just that the Queen Mother has already made it clear that things must be settled, and the slave maid doesn't want to involve the queen mother." The slave and maid will investigate this matter by themselves, and if the queen mother asks about it, the slave and maid will bear it. ”

"Well, you don't have to be polite to me. Rong Ya said, "Anyway, I, together with you and the emperor's cousin, have done enough things to disobey the Queen Mother, and I don't care about this more." As long as we are careful and don't let the Queen Mother know. ”

The two of them walked and talked, their eyes following the concubines who had dispersed at the fork in the road in front of them, and the firmness in their hearts seemed to be a little more profound.

Yun Yao knew that the Queen Mother did not let her continue to investigate, for fear that it would involve more interests like the previous incident, which would affect the pattern of the harem and the court. The previous times she touched the Queen Mother's rights in Daning, and she just went to investigate, but this time, it was impossible for the Queen Mother to mobilize the people for a palace maid.
