Chapter 069: Absolute Authority

readx;? It didn't take long for Xiaoshan to come over. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Sure enough, as Su Xin described, Xiaoshan looks handsome, but perhaps because of the poisoning, her body bones are very weak, and she needs to be supported by someone every step she takes, with a weak and boneless look, which makes people feel compassion at a glance.

"I've seen Aunt Suxin. Xiao Shan walked in and saluted Su Xin.

"This is Lu Shangyi and Young Envoy Yun, come and pay a salute. Su Xin looked at Xiaoshan's appearance, after all, she couldn't bear it, sighed, and said to her.

Xiao Shan must have heard of the names of Yun Yao and Lu Yingquan, so she hurriedly stepped forward to greet her and asked Yun Yao and Lu Yingquan to call the shots for her.

"No need to be polite, tell me, what did you eat in the past few days before you were poisoned, and who did you have a grudge with?" Yun Yao helped Xiaoshan and asked her to sit down, and then asked.

"Since the emperor favored me, I was afraid that some people would be jealous, so I have always been cautious and have not grudged with others. The food and drink are also with the other sisters, except for the medicinal food crisp and scallion pancakes rewarded by the Queen Mother, the others are no different. Xiao Shan said, "Young Envoy Yun, there must be someone in this palace who is jealous that I can get the emperor's mercy, so they will secretly poison me! ”

"I know, Xiaoshan, you can rest in your room during this time, and don't go anywhere. Yun Yao sighed, "Make plans after taking care of your body." ”

"Yes, thank you Young Envoy Yun, thank you Lu Shangyi. Xiao Shan said, saluted Yun Yao and Lu Yingquan again, and then left Su Xin's room with the support of other palace maids.

When Xiao Shan walked away, Yun Yao's tense body suddenly relaxed, she sat on the stool slumped, leaning her body against the table to support, with compassion and helplessness in her eyes.

"What's wrong? After you saw Xiao Shan, why did you all have this expression?" Rao is Suxin has grown so much in his age, but he can't know what Yun Yao and Lu Yingquan are thinking.

"Sister Su Xin, you listen to my advice, Xiaoshan's matter, you can find an excuse to send it away, but don't interfere more seriously. Lu Yingquan said, "This matter...... I'm afraid that someone doesn't want Xiaoshan to live, and this person, you can't afford to offend, and we can't afford to offend either. Even the emperor has to be afraid of three points. ”

As soon as Lu Yingquan's words came out, Su Xin was shocked.

She deeply understands that there is only one person in this palace who can make the emperor jealous. That is the absolute authority in this Ning Palace, the woman who is high, the woman with the most noble status in the entire Daning - the Empress Dowager Qin.

"This ......" Su Xin didn't seem to know what to say anymore.

"I once saw the medicinal food crisp eaten by the Queen Mother in Jianzhang Palace, which was made of onion mushrooms, which was originally a medicinal diet specially developed by the Imperial Medical Department for the Queen Mother. But no one knows, the onion mushroom is also called the green onion, which is originally non-toxic, but after taking the onion mushroom, it cannot be eaten with the green onion, otherwise the two will be mixed and will produce highly toxic. Yun Yao explained lightly.

That's right, the green onion fungus in the medicinal food crisp and the green onion in the scallion pancake are mixed together, which will poison Xiaoshan. The doctor who came to diagnose Xiaoshan's pulse was either not good at learning and didn't know that the two couldn't eat together, or he had insight into the reason, but he didn't dare to say it clearly, so he used the excuse that Xiaoshan had eaten the poisonous onion fungus by mistake and confused the public.

"Yes, as soon as I heard Xiaoshan's words, she said that she ate and drank like other palace maids, but the Queen Mother rewarded medicinal food crisp and scallion pancakes, and I knew that the problem was here. Lu Yingquan said, "The most important thing is that I have heard the emperor say that the woman he likes is not up to him, and every time he has a good impression of a woman in the palace, he will hear rumors about the woman's corpse in the palace the next day." ”

"It's ...... The queen mother wants to control the harem, she wants to select some concubines for the emperor who are beneficial to her to enter the inner palace, a woman like Xiaoshan without any background, after entering the inner palace, will only be busy competing for favor, stirring up the harem chickens and dogs. Rather than adding a lot of variables, it's better to keep them under control from the start. Su Xin also understood what the two meant, so she broke the queen mother's intentions.

"Exactly. Yun Yao nodded, "Xiao Shan is already lucky, seeing that Hand Qing and Green Onion failed to kill her, the Queen Mother will definitely attack her a second time." She is no different from the palace maids who have not been favored in the past, they are just victims of the struggle in this palace. ”

"I see, I'm glad you're here today, otherwise I might have inadvertently caused a catastrophe. Su Xin still had palpitations and felt afraid for a while, "The three of us know about this matter, and I will send Xiaoshan away so that she will no longer be entangled." ”

"Making this choice, I know that sister, you are not happy in your heart, after all, it is a human life, we can't bear it, but we can't compete with the Queen Mother. Lu Yingquan said, "It's like ...... I am the same as Yun Yao in the inner palace. ”

They all understand that it is the best policy to protect oneself in this palace, when black and white right and wrong have become a life-urging talisman that can kill people at any time, and become a knife hanging on the head at all times, then black and white right and wrong are no longer so important, because what is more important is life and death.

Several people chatted for a long time, until a palace maid delivered the meal to Su Xin's room, and the three sisters took advantage of the rare gathering time to say what they hadn't said before, and during the banquet, Yun Yao also asked Su Xin something about the palace banquet.

Su Xin is worthy of being an old man in the palace, and he has helped organize many palace banquets, and he is clear about some basic processes and things needed. She told Yun Yao everything without reservation, and said it in an orderly manner so that Yun Yao could write it down.

had lunch in the Yeting Palace and helped Su Xin solve the problem, and Yun Yao also knew what she wanted to know, so she quit Su Xin and left with Lu Yingquan.

And when the two of them left the Yeting Palace, they happened to meet Ning Lan, who had just finished an errand and returned to the Yeting Palace for lunch, as well as other palace maids who knew each other.

"Yun Yao, Yingquan, it's you!" Hongxiao saw the two of them, and hurriedly stepped forward and greeted the two, "I didn't expect you to go to the inner palace, and you didn't forget your roots, and came back to see the big guys." ”

"You have an idea to speak, people are now Young Envoy Yun, Lu Shangyi, can you call the name casually? If you make people unhappy, just find a crime for you, I will see what you do." Ning Lan was never convinced, and her speech was very yin and yang.

Ning Lan thought that her appearance and ability were no worse than Yun Yao and them, and when Aunt Yuehe was there, she clearly promised her that she would hand over the position of the next aunt in charge of the Yeting Palace to her, but she didn't expect that because of Yun Yao and Lu Yingquan, Aunt Yuehe lost her position, and her dream was shattered.

If everyone is still a third-class palace maid, it will be fine, but Yun Yao and Lu Yingquan flew high branches and entered the inner palace to become female officials, I don't know how much higher than her, and now that she sees the two of them, she has to bow her head and salute, how can she be convinced?

"Hongxiao, how are you doing lately?" Lu Yingquan deliberately ignored Ning Lan and just talked to Hongxiao.

"It's still the same, every day is the same life, the only thing that changes is the errand, today you may sweep the yard, tomorrow you may wash clothes. Hongxiao laughed.

"Some people are cheap bones, when they were still third-class palace maids, they sold other people's intelligence and news to make money, and now that they have become female officials, this person has begun to stutter. Ning Lan continued, "I've never seen such a wind and rudder on the wall. ”

"Ning Lan! I didn't mess with you, who do you say is the grass on the wall?" When Hong Xiao heard this, he immediately became angry, and turned around and yelled at Ning Lan.

"Whoever replies to me will say it!" Ning Lan snorted arrogantly, "I didn't name me, you have a weak heart, blame me?"

Everyone in the Yeting Palace knows that Hong Xiao loves silver the most, and her method of earning silver is different from others, she only likes to gossip and inquire about the news, and then sort out the news and sell it to those who need it. In the past, in order to make money, she did sell the news of Yun Yao and Lu Yingquan, but now that Ning Lan took it out and said it in front of Yun Yao and them, her face was still a little unbearable.

"Ning Lan, don't say that grapes are sour if you can't eat them. Who doesn't know that you don't accept Yun Yao and Yingquan to enter the inner palace, and curse them in the room every day? You have the ability to enter the inner palace, don't say such sour words if you don't have the ability. "Hongxiao is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and he immediately replies, and he doesn't care about making a big deal out of it.

Yun Yao and Lu Yingquan glanced at each other, and suddenly felt that they seemed to have returned to the days when they were on errands in the Yeting Palace. The palace ladies are fighting with each other, slandering and abusing each other, there are no permanent friends, only interests can last forever.

"Well, sisters, there is no need to hurt the peace for these little things. The queen mother is still waiting for me in the palace, I'll leave first, you haven't had lunch yet, hurry up, it's late, there's nothing good. Yun Yao didn't take Ning Lan's words to heart, just said so, and then said goodbye to a few palace maids, and then left this place of right and wrong with Lu Yingquan.

After walking a long way, Yun Yao seemed to be able to hear Ning Lan's disdainful voice and Hong Xiao's unwilling rebuttal.

"In fact, it hasn't been long since I left Yeting Palace, and now I am really not used to seeing such a scene. Lu Yingquan sighed, "By the emperor's side, although I always have to guard against the summons of the queen mother and worry about what I will show, it is much easier than when I was in the palace." ”

"When I met Ning Lan today, I found that her hostility towards us did not subside with the passage of time, but intensified. I always have a faint uneasiness in my heart. Yun Yao was not as optimistic as Lu Yingquan.

"Forget it, what if she hates us again? Now that we are in the inner palace, and she has nothing to do with us, there should be nothing wrong. Lu Yingquan said, "It's not early, there is a fork in the road ahead, I'll go back to Changming Palace, and when the emperor wakes up in the morning, I'll have to work again." ”

"Okay, I'll go back to the hall, and we'll get together when we're free another day. Yun Yao looked at the fork in the road ahead, nodded, and said.

The two parted ways, one road divided into two ends, and gradually drifted apart, and what they didn't know was that a storm was coming, and there was still a slight residual heat in the Ning Palace after the summer, and this autumn was destined not to be peaceful.
