readx;? Under the leadership of Gonggong Yu, Lu Yingquan and Yun Yao came to the cold palace and approached the well. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Lu Liangren has arrivedβ" With a shout from Father-in-law Yu, the crowd that was still noisy by the well water immediately quieted down, and all looked towards the source of the sound.
Everyone only saw that behind the Jade Gonggong, followed by a woman wearing a lotus-colored palace dress, her hair was gently tied behind her, and she was only tied with the simplest ribbon.
Needless to say, this woman is naturally Lu Liangren from Ning Palace, but the palace maid who serves beside her is very strange and has never seen it. Even so, everyone's gaze did not converge, after all, although Yun Yao's appearance is not good, her temperament is still good, even if she walks beside Lu Yingquan as a palace maid, it is not negligible.
"The concubines see His Royal Highness, see the Queen Mother. Lu Yingquan came to Shen Che's front and saluted Shen Che and the Empress Dowager Jiang next to him respectively, and his crisp voice was like a yellow warbler in the hollow valley, pleasant to the ear.
Shen Che looked at Lu Yingquan, his eyes were slightly distracted, and then he looked at the palace maid next to him, and then let her get up.
"Thank you, Your Highness. Lu Yingquan's every move is very decent, after all, she is also a young lady, and she has been a poor person in front of the Ning Palace for so long, such a palace ceremony is naturally not a problem.
"I have always heard that Lu Liangren has a stunning appearance, but I have never been lucky enough to see it, but when I see it today, it really deserves its reputation. A woman who followed the Queen Mother looked Yingquan up and down and said.
Yun Yao looked at the woman who spoke, but saw that she was about twenty years old, dressed very dignified, and standing beside the Empress Dowager Jiang, she seemed to be very intimate with the Empress Dowager, and knew the identity of this woman in her heart, she must be the Empress Dowager's niece Jiang Yi, and also the Madame Jiang of the Yi Palace.
Although there are many concubines in the palace of King Yi, there has never been a queen, and so far, there are only three ladies with the highest ranks, namely Mrs. Jiang Yi, Mrs. Yao Meng, and Mrs. Liu Bing'er. And because Jiang Yi is the niece of the Queen Mother, now the harem is all in the hands of Jiang Yi, and the sixth palace is also respected by Jiang Yi.
Under Madame, there are beauties, according to Gu Qingming, there are about a dozen beauties in Queen Yi's harem, and there are only three or five of the most favored, and the rest are also empty with the name of a beauty, and they have not been favored for too long, but I am afraid that King Yi will even forget what they look like.
As for the beloved, not to mention, including Lu Yingquan, there are more than 30 in total, looking around, the ring is fat and thin, and thousands of charms are all in this cold palace, just waiting to see Yingquan's good show.
Just as Yun Yao was thinking, she heard Yingquan reply. But he saw Yingquan blessing Jiang Yi slightly, and said respectfully: "It's not as good as my sister's appearance, and she is gentle and respectful." β
As soon as these words came out, Jiang Yi laughed, but she said to the Empress Dowager Jiang: "Queen Mother, you see, Sister Lu is used to talking, and her little mouth is very sweet." β
"Since you are so good at talking, Lu Yingquan, you should explain to the mourning family, what is the matter with this dead maidservant? Someone pointed out that this is your maid from Linglong Pavilion, which you brought from Ning Palace. Empress Dowager Jiang listened to Jiang Yi's words, but her expression did not change, she only pointed to Ning Lan lying on the ground and asked Lu Yingquan.
"Back to the Queen Mother, this is indeed the palace maid Ning Lan who came from Ning Palace with her concubine, but she has been away from Linglong Pavilion for many days, as for why she is here, the concubine doesn't know. Lu Yingquan glanced at Ning Lan, and said this as he had discussed with Yun Yao before.
"Don't you know, she left your palace as a big living person, and you didn't even care?" Empress Dowager Jiang obviously didn't believe it.
"Empress Dowager, the concubines really don't know. Although Ning Lan is nominally the personal maid of the concubine, she is arrogant, wild and untamable, does not look down on condescension, and never sincerely obeys the concubine, so when she left the book and left, the concubine never stopped her. Lu Yingquan said, "The concubine thought that she would be like what she said in the letter, but she didn't expect that when they met again, they were already separated by Yyang." β
"Leave the book and leave?" the Queen Mother asked, "You mean, this Ning Lan is leaving by herself, and she also left a letter?"
"Yun Yao, present the letter left by Ning Lan to the Queen Mother. Lu Yingquan listened to the Queen Mother's question, then turned his head and ordered.
Yun Yao answered, then took out a letter from her sleeve, held it with both hands, and presented it to the Queen Mother, with a very respectful attitude, and the Queen Mother only glanced at the palace maid with a little face, then picked up the letter and opened it.
And Shen Che, who had been standing aside, had an evil smile on the corner of his mouth, and he was hugging a beautiful woman on the one hand, as if he didn't care about it, but when he heard the word "Yun Yao", his eyes couldn't help but look towards the owner of the name, full of curiosity.
After all, when he first met Yun Yao, she was just an ugly girl with blue spots on her face, no matter how Gu Qingming said that she was smart, he couldn't connect Yun Yao with the things that happened in the Ning Palace court.
But now it seems that what Gu Qingming said may be true. Because the human mouth lies, but the eyes speak for all. Yun Yao's eyes were full of aura, and there was a kind of forbearance in Gu Pan Shenghui, and now he really believed that the woman in front of him was the one who designed one wonderful game after another.
"How unreasonable!" After reading the letter, the Queen Mother was furious, "Little palace maid, she said wildly, why did she think she could win the favor of King Yi?"
After the Queen Mother finished speaking, she threw the letter in her hand to Mrs. Jiang, and looked at Yun Yao with doubts in her heart.
This letter is a farewell letter written by Yun Yao imitating Ning Lan's handwriting, and the letter is full of nonsense in Ning Lan's tone, saying that he is no worse than Lu Yingquan, and he can get ahead in this Yi Wang Palace without relying on Lu Yingquan, and even get the favor of King Yi and become the queen of Yi Kingdom.
The letter also said that she was very ashamed of Lu Yingquan's cautious and restrained behavior, so she decided to leave Linglong Pavilion and go to the Guangming Hall to seduce King Yi, so that she could be on an equal footing with Lu Yingquan, and even surpass Lu Yingquan.
"Since Ning Lan has turned her back on the old master and done such a rebellious and even shameless thing, the concubine will naturally not care about her anymore. The concubines are soft-spoken and weak, so they can't help her. It's just that he never thought that the destiny was not blessed, and after Ning Lan left the Linglong Pavilion, his soul returned to the Western Realm. Lu Yingquan kept bowing and explaining to the Queen Mother.
The letter reached King Yi's hand at this time, and he looked at the letter, his eyes swept over the letter, and there seemed to be some thought flashing in his mind, and he didn't have time to catch it.
"It's a good thing to say, and I don't know if it's Lu Liangren, I think this palace maid doesn't obey discipline, and I'm afraid of causing trouble for myself, so I directly kill people and kill people, and it's a hundred. At this time, someone spoke again, accusing Lu Yingquan of killing people and killing people, with a strong sense of guidance.
In an instant, everyone's eyes were focused on Lu Yingquan's body, as if they were looking at a ruthless woman.
"Queen Mother, Ning Lan was definitely not killed by a concubine, if you still have doubts in your sisters' hearts, let you do an autopsy. Lu Yingquan said, his expression was indifferent.
The word autopsy has always been the word changed by women, but Lu Yingquan said it so lightly.
Because she was not afraid, after all, when Yun Yao was in the Ning Palace, she dared to perform an autopsy in front of the Empress Dowager Qin, what was she afraid of? She believed that Yun Yao would help her.
"Your Royal Highness King Yi, you should stand up and say something, but don't let the Queen Mother and the masters misunderstand Lu Liangren again. At this time, Yun Yao raised her head, looked at Shen Che, and spoke.
Shen Che listened to Yun Yao's words, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and just as he was about to ask, the Queen Mother took the lead in speaking: "What do you mean?"
"Back to the Queen Mother's words, judging from Ning Lan's corpse, she was not thrown into the well after her death, but fell into the well and drowned when she was alive. Yun Yao said, "Her abdomen is swollen, obviously she has drunk a lot of water, and there are no other injuries on her body, indicating that she is not struggling with people. β
According to Yun Yao's words, everyone looked at Ning Lan's corpse and found that what she said was very reasonable, and couldn't help but glance at this palace maid.
"Why would a good person commit suicide?" asked the Queen Mother.
"A person as arrogant as Ning Lan can make her commit suicide, but it can only shatter her dreams. Ning Lan wants to cling to His Royal Highness King Yi and become the master from a maidservant, so the only person who can shatter her dream is His Royal Highness. Yun Yao continued, looked at Shen Che again, and spoke again, "Your Highness, you sent the slave maid to Lu Liangren on the night of Ning Lan's suicide, saying that you would serve her well and don't let her suffer any grievances, but today your beloved was suspected for no reason, why didn't Your Highness say a word?"
Shen Che listened to Yun Yao's words, and finally understood the meaning of her game today, which was to dump this black pot on him, making everyone think that Ning Lan was because she couldn't seduce him, so she committed suicide in a fit of anger, and even made him a witness to Ning Lan's suicide, which also gave Yun Yao's existence a justifiable reason.
What a brilliant game!
No one would suspect that Yun Yao was telling a lie, because no one believed that Yun Yao dared to frame the owner of this Yi Wang Palace, and dared to let King Yi carry the black pot.
Only then did Shen Che see Yun Yao's cleverness, she was sure that he would definitely cooperate, so she dared to talk nonsense like this, because she knew her importance, she and Lu Yingquan would become the most important chess pieces for him to contain the Queen Mother, Ning Lan was already dead, so she and Lu Yingquan could not have any more accidents.
"If you don't say it, you forgot it, there is indeed such a thing, this palace maid...... The fox seduces the master, the means are inferior, and the loneliness is just a small reprimand for her, she can't think of it, and she kills herself. Shen Che suddenly smiled, and then said, "Queen Mother, this matter was caused by Erchen's mishandling for a while, don't blame Lu Liangren anymore." β
As soon as King Yi's words came out, all the concubines in the audience were surprised, and they originally wanted to see how powerful Lu Liangren from the Ning Palace was, but they didn't expect that she was covering up this matter for King Yi, so she would hide it, saying that she didn't know anything.
At this time, Lu Liangren has become a person who is dedicated to King Yi, while other concubines who want to expose the truth of the matter are at the bottom of King Yi.
