Chapter 084: Be one step ahead

The voices in the inner sanctum gradually faded away, and the people standing at the door could no longer know what the people inside were doing through the voices that came from time to time, but it was this silence that gave people unlimited room for imagination.

Fleur then turned her head slightly into the dark night, and looked towards the inside of the main hall, but saw that it was dark inside, and she couldn't see or hear anything clearly.

However, the emperor and Lu Yingquan never came out of the inner hall, but it also made Furong keep guessing in her heart. Originally, Shen Ze, as the Ninth Five-Year Emperor, no matter who he wanted to pamper, it was natural, let alone a great beauty like Lu Yingquan, but the news that Lu Yingquan stayed overnight in the emperor's bedroom spread out, and tomorrow I was afraid that it would be another bloody storm.

As the minutes passed, the deep darkness of the night gradually dissipated, and the sky slowly brightened.

Luo Song saw that the time was almost up, so he walked to the inner hall and reminded Shen Ze that it was time to prepare for the morning court.

Shen Ze didn't sleep all night, he had been sitting in front of the broken chess game, thinking about all kinds of things in his mind, but he found that many things could not have an answer.

After a little freshening up, Shen Ze changed into a dragon robe under Luo Song's service, finished bunching his hair, and asked the maid of Fengcha Palace to make a cup of refreshing tea, and after drinking, he went to Zhengyang Palace to prepare for the court.

He didn't wake up Lu Yingquan, after all, Lu Yingquan was really drunk last night, and in order to play chess with him to relieve his boredom, he took great pains, and he was reluctant to let Lu Yingquan get up so early, just to go to the court to listen to those people's boring discussions.

Suddenly only Lu Yingquan was left in Changming Palace, and the palace maid waiting outside the door, Furong's errand time had passed, she wanted to inquire about what happened last night, but she couldn't ask, so she had to go back to her room, eat a little breakfast, and rest.

But Fleur lay down for a long time, but couldn't sleep, and after a while, she heard a knock on the door outside, she dragged her tired body to open the door, and found that it was Xiaoyu standing outside.

"Why did you come in at this time?" Fleur looked at Xiaoyu and was surprised.

"At this time, the emperor was in the early dynasty, and Gonggong Luo was not there, so I bribed a little eunuch and asked him to bring me in to find you. Xiaoyu said, "Look at you like this, did you have a night errand yesterday?"

"yes, I'm going to sleep. Furong said, "Xiaoyu, you won't come to ask me to help you tie up Lu Shangyi again, right?"

"What's the stammer, I just want you to help ask Lu Shangyi what the emperor likes, what can my beloved do to get the emperor's attention?" Xiaoyu asked, "Also, can this Lu Shangyi help with a few kind words in front of the emperor?"

"Xiaoyu, don't think about it, the emperor has Lu Shangyi, an empathetic beauty, by his side, where can he take care of those concubines in the harem?" Furong said, "No, yesterday the emperor returned from Qutai Pavilion, and Lu Shangyi entered the inner hall of Changming Palace as an accompaniment, and he didn't come out until I left." ”

"What did you say?" Xiaoyu looked shocked, obviously incredulous, "You mean...... Lu Shangyi spent the night in the emperor's bedroom yesterday?"

"Exactly. Furong said, "So, you are a step late, the emperor has tasted the sweetness of Lu Shangyi, where can you take care of others? You better let Du Liangren find another way." ”

"This is fundamentally unreasonable, Lu Shangyi is the pre-imperial Shangyi, a female official, how can she ...... with the emperor" Xiaoyu frowned.

"What's unreasonable about this? The whole world is owned by the emperor, as long as the emperor likes it, what about female officials? Not to mention Lu Shangyi, the last time the young envoy Yun also recuperated in Changming Palace for several days. Fleur sighed, "I told you only for the sake of our fellow villagers and good relationship." Du Liangren wants to inquire about the emperor's preferences, and start from Lu Shangyi, not only can he not get benefits, but if he offends Lu Shangyi, she blows the wind on the emperor's pillow, so won't Du Liangren be able to eat and walk around?"

"Then what do you say? Thousands of calculations, how can I not calculate it, Lu Shangyi is so bold that he dares to climb to the emperor's dragon bed. Xiaoyu looked resentful, obviously complaining about her beloved.

"You stupid, go find Grandpa Luo. The emperor is not only surrounded by Lu Shangyi, but also Father-in-law Luo. He has been with the emperor for the longest time, and he knows the emperor's preferences the most, so asking him to help him come up with ideas is more effective than anything else. Fleur said.

"Okay, I won't tell you more, you have a good rest, I have to go back to report to my beloved, I can't let the one from Qutai Pavilion take the lead. Xiaoyu said and left quickly.

Back in Lantai Pavilion, Xiaoyu told Du Liangren about Lu Yingquan's stay in the emperor's bedroom, which aroused Du Liangren's anger in an instant.

"It's really unreasonable, a lowly palace maid who climbed up from Langyue Pavilion actually dared to spend the night in the emperor's bedroom, she really didn't know whether she was alive or dead. Xu Liangren robbed me even if she was a lowly palace maid, why?" Du Liangren said, "You come with me again, if this matter is true, I have a way to deal with her." ”

"Yes, beloved. Xiaoyu didn't know what Du Liangren was going to do, so she just obeyed her orders, and then followed Du Liangren out again.

Lantai Pavilion is located in a remote area, it still takes some distance from Lantai Pavilion to Changming Palace, Xiaoyu just ran back from that side in a hurry, and she had to follow Du Liangren over, she was really tired, but as a slave, she could only say what the master said, she would do whatever she wanted.

It was already dawn, Lu Yingquan woke up with a hangover, and found herself sleeping on the dragon bed, she couldn't help but be shocked, so frightened that she quickly got off Shen Ze's bed, tidied up her clothes and hair, pretended to be nothing, walked out of the inner hall, and returned to her room.

She hasn't forgotten what happened when Yun Yao was lying on this bed before, those concubines in the harem are narrow-minded, if someone knows about it, and they poison her or something, she can't wash it even if she jumps into the Yellow River.

What's more, if she is not afraid of just those concubines in the harem, she is afraid of the queen mother in Jianzhang Palace.

Xiaoshan's matter has always been a shadow in her heart, if the queen mother thinks that she also wants to seduce the emperor, and wants to take this opportunity to get rid of the identity of the palace maid and become the master of the harem, it will not be good.

In this way, with a nervous mood, Lu Yingquan returned to her room, but she was not idle, but called water to wash her face, after washing, she changed her clothes, tried to make herself sober, and prepared to wait for the emperor to go to the palace to serve.

However, Lu Yingquan drank too much wine the night before, so her head still hurts until now, and she can't lift her spirits, but she still persists, not wanting others to think that she is very special, let alone being the target of others' attacks.

But she never thought that sometimes things were so coincidental, and she was destined to do so.

She was thinking in the house, she was going to eat something to cushion her stomach in a while, but at this time, Xiao Yuzi, who was guarding the door of Changming Palace, came over to tell her, saying that the girl from Qutai Pavilion was here and wanted to ask to see Lu Shangyi.

When Lu Yingquan heard it, she saw Yue coming to look for her, so she didn't delay, hurriedly left the room, and walked out. After all, the emperor was still in the early dynasty, and Jianyue couldn't enter Changming Palace casually, so she could only go out to meet Jianyue.

Du Liangren came with a light rain, just arrived at the gate of Changming Palace, and was about to go in, but happened to see Lu Yingquan walking out of Changming Palace.

"The lover is Lu Shangyi. Xiaoyu reminded, then stood behind Du Liangren and stopped.

"What is she doing when she comes out at this time?" Du Liang was puzzled in his heart, and then said, "Let's go, let's go over and have a look." ”

While talking, the two quietly walked towards the place where Lu Yingquan left, and saw Lu Yingquan meeting a palace maid in azure clothes in the pavilion not far in front of them.

Lu Yingquan didn't find that anyone was following her, she was afraid that she would wait for a long time, so she walked in a hurry.

For Lu Yingquan, apart from Yun Yao in this palace, if there is anyone else who has a good relationship with her, it must be Jianyue. Not to mention that the two participated in the selection training together in Chuxiu Palace before, and later helped each other, so when Yue came to her, she naturally had no reason to turn away.

"What kind of wind blew you to me? Although we are in the same inner palace, there are really not many opportunities for us to meet, but you and Yun Yao, every time Xu Liangren goes to the Hehuan Hall to ask for peace, they can meet each other. Lu Yingquan sat directly on the stool in the pavilion and said to Jianyue.

"Actually, I'm here today because I want to ask you for something. You're so smart, you must have guessed what I meant. Jianyue said, "We are on an errand in the palace, and we can't help ourselves, and I don't sell anything to you, so I want to help my family ask my beloved what is the attitude of the emperor after he came back last night? Will he hate her from now on?"

Lu Yingquan actually understood in his heart that when he saw Yue, he came to find her, which was nothing more than to help Xu Liangren inquire about the situation. However, fortunately, Jianyue is also refreshing enough, not the kind of character that beats around the bush, nor does it give you a set of words and sentences for you to drill into, so Lu Yingquan is still more willing to answer Jianyue's question.

What's more, she wants to help Shen Ze solve the difficulties, since Xu Liangren is the most suitable candidate for the harem concubines, how can she not let Xu Liangren lose her holy favor from now on, otherwise Shen Ze will face the persecution of civil and military officials, asking him to fill the harem and prolong the heirs.

"Jianyue, tell me honestly, what happened in Qutai Pavilion last night? It stands to reason that Gonggong Luo went to deliver the decree so early and gave Xu Liangren full time to prepare, how could he let the emperor return in defeat?" Lu Yingquan didn't know what was going on, so he asked, "After the emperor came back last night, he wasn't in a very good mood, and I don't know if it has anything to do with Xu Liangren." ”

When Jianyue heard Lu Yingquan's question, she always felt that this matter was related to Xu Liangren's reputation and couldn't be said casually, but she wanted to ask Lu Yingquan for help, so after thinking about it, she decided to tell Lu Yingquan about it.

"Then I'll tell you, you can't spread the word, if Xu Liangren knows about this, I will die. ”

After repeatedly telling Lu Yingquan, Jianyue told all the causes and consequences of the incident, including the pot of problematic chicken soup.
