"Come on, bring me the two girls who are in charge of the meal today!" The more Xu Liangren thought about it, the more angry she became, and she couldn't blame Shen Ze for not waiting for her, she only hated herself for wasting such a good opportunity. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Don't be angry, the slave and maid will call them over. Haitang said, and then let Jianyue serve on the side, and went to find the two palace maids.
"Love, don't be sad, not this time, we have a next time. Next time, I must inquire clearly, do what he likes, and please the emperor. Seeing that Yue saw that Xu Liangren was sad, she also opened her mouth to persuade.
"This time, the emperor is only afraid that he will be very disappointed in me, and he will never see me again, how can there be a next time?" Xu Liang was really depressed in her heart, no one expected that she would take a sip of a pot of chicken soup that had changed its flavor, and she would actually have a stomach upset.
"Don't worry, don't worry, wait for the slave maid to go to Changming Palace tomorrow, find Lu Shangyi to inquire about the situation, and then we will make plans. Jianyue said, "Lu Shangyi has been by the emperor's side for a long time, and his preferences for the emperor must be very clear. ”
"You're right. Xu Liangren listened to Jianyue's words, as if he had grabbed the backbone of the master, and then said, "Jianyue, I know that you and Lu Shangyi are old acquaintances, and this matter depends on you. ”
"What is the lover talking about, since the slave and maid have entered the Qutai Pavilion, then they must be loyal to the beloved, and now they can help the beloved, and it is too late for the slave and maid to be happy. Seeing Yue, he hurriedly opened his mouth to express his loyalty.
In fact, Jianyue knew in her heart that Xu Liangren promoted her from a second-class palace maid to a first-class palace maid in order to take advantage of the mutual acquaintance between her and Yun Yao and Lu Yingquan, but for such a long time, Xu Liangren was just in her own Qutai Pavilion and didn't care about anyone or anything, so she has always been useless.
Now, when things happened suddenly, Jianyue thought that Xu Liangren was kind to him on weekdays and was not bad to himself, so he wanted to help her.
While the two were talking, Haitang brought in the two palace maids who were in charge of the meal today, Bicai and Bihuan, who had always been steady in Qutai Pavilion. These two people have always been in charge of Xu Liangren's meal, and for such a long time, there has never been a mistake, and today I don't know what happened, there was a big problem.
Originally, if a pot of soup was broken, it would be forgotten, if it was placed in normal times, Xu Liangren would scold a few words at most, and he would not be so angry at all, but today's special situation made her lose face in front of the emperor, and she naturally would not give up.
"You guys kneel down for me!" Xu Liangren yelled at Bicai and Bihuan, "Did you two do it on purpose? You usually do it very steadily, and today you know that the emperor is coming, so you deliberately make trouble for me, right?"
"The beloved man is angry, and the slaves and maids don't know what's going on, the slaves and maids are doing what they always do, and they don't know what went wrong. Bicai explained.
"Yes, beloved, it's just a matter of saying that one of us is wrong, but how can two of us make a mistake when two people are staring?" Bihuan also said, "The slave maid has been in Qutai Pavilion for so long, and has been doing her best, if she chooses to drop the chain today in order to deliberately make trouble for her beloved, wouldn't it ruin her future?"
"Lover, what Bicai and Bihuan said also makes sense, the two of them have always been steady, and they have always won the trust of their lover, there must be other misunderstandings about this. Haitang has been by Xu Liangren's side for a long time, and she knows Bicai and Bihuan well, so she said, "It's better to ask carefully, so as not to wronged them." ”
"Ask a beloved to be clear. Bicai and Bihuan listened to Begonia's words and said in unison.
"By the way, are you sure that no one approached during the process of making chicken soup?" Jian Yue seemed to think of something, and then asked.
She had also lived in the Yeting Palace for a while before, and she was deeply touched by the open and secret battles there, so she guessed that it was possible that someone else deliberately broke the chicken soup while Bicai and Bihuan were not paying attention, so that Xu Liangren would have a situation at night.
Such a pot of chicken soup, even if Xu Liangren does not have diarrhea, it is very likely to anger the emperor and destroy Xu Liangren's favor.
"No, the small kitchen has always been guarded by the two of us, and all the meals tonight are also our responsibility, and no one is approaching at all. Bizer replied.
"The slave remembered it, and it seemed that there was really something wrong. Bihuan suddenly said, "No one approached during the process of making chicken soup, but when we arrived in the small kitchen, the original chopped chicken was already in the pot." The slave maid and Bicai once suspected that the other party put the chicken in the pot to cook first, but now they think about it......"
"In this way, it makes sense, it is likely that someone is familiar with the way you cook and has moved in the pot in advance. Jianyue said, "In this way, you only need to interrogate the other palace people in Qutai Pavilion to see if anyone has approached the small kitchen at that point in time, and the truth will be revealed." ”
Soon, the other palace people in the Qutai Pavilion were also called, and they knelt on the ground in a black pressure.
Xu Liangren is not a harsh person, and she treats her subordinates very kindly on weekdays, but today is a big deal, she deeply understands that there may be people in this palace who don't look down on her well, if she doesn't find out, I'm afraid she will really lose her food in the future, and she won't sleep at night.
Haitang is the palace maid who Xu Liangren is used to following in the end, and she also has a certain prestige, she began to interrogate one by one, and listed all the suspects separately, and then interrogated them carefully.
The result of the final interrogation was that there was nothing suspicious about the people in the entire Qutai Pavilion, and all of them had alibi proofs. Because Xu Liangren is usually a kind person, although the palace people of Qutai Pavilion are inferior outside, they are still very happy in this Qutai Pavilion, and no one wants to destroy this peace.
However, just when things were at an impasse, the two little eunuchs guarding the door remembered that Xiaoyu from Lantai Pavilion had come during this time.
"Yuliangren, in the afternoon, the little rain girl of Lantai Pavilion went and returned, saying that something had fallen in our palace, and the slave saw that she was also diligent in her daily life, and Du Liang and you were close friends, so the slave didn't go to her heart, and let her in directly. The eunuch said, "Could it be that she took advantage of that time, when there was no one in the small kitchen, to secretly do something?"
As soon as these words came out, everything was explained, since the person who started it was not from his palace, it must be an outsider, but Qutai Pavilion has always been pure, and outsiders are only Du Liangren, if it weren't for them, who else could they be?
"When Gonggong Luo came to deliver the decree this afternoon, Du Liangren happened to be next to him, and the slave and maid didn't seem to be very happy when they looked at her. Besides, she knew that we were all preparing for the arrival of the emperor, and she also asked Xiaoyu to go and return, and Xiaoyu made up the reason that she dropped something, but she didn't see her come to the main hall to pick it up, which shows that Du Liangren and Xiaoyu do have a problem. Jianyue said, "Liangren, the hearts of people in this palace are unpredictable, and you still have to be careful about Du Liangren, and you can't be too careful." ”
"You're right. Xu Liangren said, and then instructed these palace people in the palace, "You all listen well, today's matter, I misunderstood you, there are some things you know well, but you are not allowed to reveal half a word." For Du Liangren, what kind of attitude was there before, and what attitude will be in the future, she can't let her see the clues. Got it?"
"The minions obeyed. ”
"The slave obeys. ”
All the people in the hall spoke in unison, agreeing, after all, this is a matter between the masters, and they can only obey orders as slaves, and they will do whatever the master says.
After a while, Xu Liangren let these palace people go down to rest, although because of tonight's incident, she was depressed, it can be seen that Yue said that she was going to ask Lu Yingquan tomorrow, and she knew that Du Liangren was not sincere to herself, and her heart was a lot more relaxed all of a sudden.
At least she won't tell Du Liangren everything stupidly like before, thinking that Du Liangren entered the palace before her, she is a senior, and she should treat each other politely. But now, a small thing is enough for her to see through people's hearts.
At the same time, in the Lantai Pavilion, Du Liangren has also been sending people to keep an eye on the movements of the Qutai Pavilion, and when the servants at the bottom came back to report that the emperor had only stayed in the Qutai Pavilion for less than an hour, and it seemed that he had left after dinner, which made her very happy.
"Liangren, the strategy is really effective, the emperor has only stayed in Qutai Pavilion for so much time, presumably he didn't favor Xu Liangren. Xiaoyu said, "What's more, Xu Liangren dared to entertain the emperor with such an unpalatable thing, I am afraid that the emperor will definitely stay away from her in the future." ”
"Hmph, you deserve it!" Du Liangren snorted coldly and said, "Let her be ashamed to say anything, and say that if she is lucky enough to be favored, she will definitely mention me in front of the emperor." Do I need her to help me fight for favor?"
"That is, the lover is better than her in terms of qualifications, appearance, and talent, why should she compare with the lover. Xiaoyu echoed and squeezed Xu Liangren with Du Liangren.
"Since we have done this, we can't give her a chance to turn over. Du Liangren said, "How is your fellow villager? Let you contact her and inquire about more things, why has there been no reply to this day?"
"Furong has been inquiring about her beloved, but Furong is the palace maid who holds the lamp, and she doesn't have much time to contact the emperor, so the slave maid asked her to get close to Lu Shangyi. Xiaoyu said, "Furong told the slave maid not long ago that Lu Shangyi was very good to her, because when Lu Shangyi was beaten by the Queen Mother before, it was Furong who helped with the medicine. ”
Lu Shangyi accompanies the emperor every day, and knows the emperor's preferences well, so it is right to ask her. But you have to find out, is this Lu Shangyi an easy master to deal with?" Du Liangren asked, "Does she love money, or is she greedy for something, find a way to get her, and strive to win her over to our side." ”
"Don't worry, this Lu Shangyi doesn't love money, nor does she covet status, what she values is feelings. Xiaoyu said, "Do you remember the sisterhood between her and Young Envoy Yun? It was all built in the midst of adversity, and now Fleur has gained her favor by helping her when she was in trouble." ”
