Chapter 073: Wishful Thinking
When Lu Yingquan walked into the cell, he happened to hear Mrs. Yao ask Yun Yao.
She suddenly stopped, stretched out her hand, and asked Sisi and Xiao Mozi to stand still. Her body was pressed against the wall, and she quietly turned her head sideways to look at the cell, only to see Mrs. Yao standing at the door of the cell with her back to her, face to face with Yun Yao. And beside Mrs. Yao, there was the palace maid Mei Xiang.
Yun Yao could see the direction Lu Yingquan came from, in fact, when Lu Yingquan walked around the corner, she already knew that someone was coming, thanks to the candles placed around, projecting Lu Yingquan's reflection on the ground so that Yun Yao could see it.
Originally, Yun Yao wasn't sure who was coming at first, but when she found the shadow and raised her eyes slightly, she saw Lu Yingquan poking his head out of the corner, and she knew that the person who came was Lu Yingquan.
Yun Yao knew that Lu Yingquan would not abandon her, and now that Mrs. Yao happened to be here, it was better to put something out of her mouth and let Yingquan know that it would be better to start looking for evidence after she went out.
"Is there anything that Madam Yao needs to be taught?" Yun Yao thought for a moment and then spoke, she didn't immediately mention last night's incident, but thought that there should be a transition first, so as not to arouse Madam Yao's suspicions.
"No, I'm here to save you. Mrs. Yao said, "I know that you have been wronged, I can intercede with the Queen Mother and Her Royal Highness and let you out, what do you think?"
Mrs. Yao was afraid that Lu Yingquan would rescue Yun Yao first, so she immediately went straight to the point and said her intentions. And these words just gave Yun Yao a reason to refute.
"Mrs. Yao did everything possible to set up a bureau to send the slave and maid in, and tried every means to rescue the slave and maid, and directed and acted in a play, do you really think that the slave and maid are so easy to fool?" Yun Yao asked.
When Mrs. Yao heard this, she was stunned for a moment, and then smiled and said, "Do you think I designed what happened last night?"
"Isn't it?" Yun Yao asked rhetorically, "Last night in the Hall of Light, Madam Yao was the only one with a calm expression, as if she had expected the outcome of the matter. ”
Lu Yingquan, who was around the corner, listened quietly, she seemed to have known Yun Yao's intentions, which was to talk from Yao Meng's mouth. Although she could go out now to interrupt their conversation and tell the two that she had found out the truth, she still wanted to continue to hear what this Yao Meng wanted to do.
"Yun Yao, Yun Yao, since Your Highness's birthday, I have asked a lot about you, and I always thought that you were very smart, but I didn't expect it to be so. Yao Meng smiled, "It's not me who designed all this, it's Mrs. Jiang." She stopped me halfway, saying that she was not feeling well, and asked me to bring the soup to Her Highness for her. And before I sent it over, I asked the doctor to see it, and there was a fascination in it. ”
Listening to Yao Meng's words, a clear context of the whole thing gradually emerged in Yun Yao's mind. She is smart enough, so Yao Meng has just made a start, and she has only reached a rough point.
"Just because you know that there is a fascination in the soup, and the soup is forced into your hand by Madame Jiang, you will not be surprised at all when you see everything happening, because you know that Madame Jiang planned it. Yun Yao said, "And you, knowing that there is a problem with the soup and giving it to His Highness, in fact, you just want to watch a good show, and want to know what Mrs. Jiang is going to do, whether it will be beneficial to you, right?"
"That's right. I really plan to do so, the soup is sent to His Highness, if His Highness detects it, it will be Mrs. Jiang's bad luck; if His Highness can't detect it, it will be Lu Yingquan's bad luck when the follow-up happens. Whatever the outcome, it was good for me, so I didn't stand up and debunk it. ”
Mrs. Yao agreed with Yun Yao's statement, and then said what she was thinking at that time. But this is also a fact, no matter what the outcome of the matter, Mrs. Yao is considered a favorable party.
First, Lu Yingquan was punished for this, and she also lost such an important chess piece as Yun Yao, and second, she also had the handle of Mrs. Jiang in her hands.
Yun Yao looked at the smug look in Mrs. Yao's eyes, and couldn't help but glance in the direction of Lu Yingquan, and she didn't know if Lu Yingquan heard these words.
At this time, Lu Yingquan around the corner was unspeakably angry in her heart, and the reality taught her a truth, never expect the women in the deep palace to be fair and just, all they think about is interests, which is beneficial to her, even if she knows that others are wronged, even if there is evidence in her hand, she will not take it out.
If Mrs. Jiang is the mastermind behind all these things, then Mrs. Yao is the accomplice, she helped Mrs. Jiang hide these things, so that Yun Yao would be imprisoned for nothing.
In fact, if Mrs. Yao was willing to stand up and speak up last night and directly expose Mrs. Jiang's conspiracy, then things would not be so complicated, Yun Yao would not have to cooperate with Shen Che to act, and she would not have to spend so much energy to clean up those villains.
So, Mrs. Yao...... Since she can't move Mrs. Jiang, let's start with Mrs. Yao!
Just thinking like this, Lu Yingquan heard Yun Yao's voice again: "If you tell me all this, aren't you afraid that I will tell Yingquan and let her find out the truth?"
"She? Do you think she'll find out the truth? Don't forget what she did to you last night, she gave up on you and chose to keep herself. Mrs. Yao snorted coldly, "Obviously full of loopholes, but she let you go to prison because of a few words from the Queen Mother, do you think she can still save you? What's more, she has been demoted to a good person, because of you, she has struggled for so long and fought back to her original form, she hates you too late, how can she save you?"
Mrs. Yao relied on Yun Yao to be unable to get out now, and when Lu Yingquan was still interrogating An Lan, she tried her best to sow discord and make Yun Yao disappointed in Lu Yingquan, and then she would naturally take refuge in her.
Sure enough, after thinking carefully for a moment, Yun Yao raised her head and asked, "So, you are the only one who can save me now, right?"
"Of course. Yao Meng nodded, "Jiang Yi is afraid that you will come out to settle accounts with her, and she will not save you; Lu Yingquan has no ability to save you, and other people are not familiar with you, and they will not cause trouble for no reason." And I'm the only one who knows the inside story, knows how to save you, and wants to save you, would you like to cooperate with me?"
Yun Yao gritted her teeth: "What conditions do you want?"
When she heard Yun Yao ask this, Lu Yingquan was very nervous, on the one hand, she believed that Yun Yao would not betray her, but on the other hand, she was worried that Yun Yao would be bewitched by Yao Meng and really do something unfavorable to her.
Her mood was very conflicted, just when she was hesitating whether to show up, she heard Yao Meng suddenly laugh: "It's refreshing to talk to smart people, my conditions are very simple, knowing that you came forward to expose Lu Yingquan is a fine work of Ning Palace, I will ask the Queen Mother to let you atone for your sins and release you." ”
"Why? Didn't you say that Lu Yingquan had been demoted to a good person? she no longer posed any threat to you now, why did you frame her for being a fine worker?" Yun Yao asked puzzled.
She also said this very cleverly, first used Yao Meng's previous words to gag her mouth, and then used the word "framed", expressing to Yao Meng that Lu Yingquan was not a meticulous work, and if she wanted to expose it, she could only rely on framing.
Yao Meng's face changed, and he said fiercely: "What? Do you still think of her old feelings for master and servant? Don't forget how she treated you." Also, she was too favored before, and I was afraid that she would resurgce and pull you away from me again, of course I had to think of a way to do it once and for all. ”
She won't tell Yun Yao, because she saw Shen Che's token from Lu Yingquan's hand, this kind of favor made her jealous, and it also made her full of danger, she was afraid that she would rescue Yun Yao so rashly, if Lu Yingquan and Yun Yao met, the right confession, knowing that she was the one who provoked in the middle, she would lose more than she lost.
Therefore, since she can't reach an alliance with Lu Yingquan, she can only eradicate Lu Yingquan first when she wins over Yun Yao. And the matter of meticulous work is the best excuse, anyway, the queen mother has always suspected that Lu Yingquan is meticulous.
Yun Yao was silent, she lowered her head, as if she was thinking about something, and Mrs. Yao was not in a hurry, standing there looking at Yun Yao, as if waiting for her to think.
At the same time, Lu Yingquan was also waiting quietly, she could feel her heartbeat racing, and even the voices of Sisi and Xiao Mozi around her could be heard clearly.
After a long time, Yun Yao whispered, "Okay, I promise you." She gave up on me first, and since she was unkind to me, don't blame me for being unjust to her. ”
This sentence came out of Yun Yao's mouth, but it made Lu Yingquan fall into an ice cellar. Even if she knew that it was very likely to be fake, she couldn't help but tremble when she heard Yun Yao gritting her teeth and saying that she was going to be unjust to her.
"That's right. Hearing this, Yao Meng smiled, "Since an agreement has been reached between you and me, then it is decided." ”
"Aren't you afraid that I will regret it? If you really go to complain to the Queen Mother, but there is no evidence in your hand, how can the Queen Mother believe you?" Yun Yao asked.
"Do you think I'm that stupid? Of course, I have to leave the evidence before I sue, and you are the person who gave me the evidence, in black and white, and I am not afraid that you will regret it. Yao Meng said, "I'll come again tomorrow, bring you a pen and paper, and write down all the things that Lu Yingquan and Ning Gong communicated privately, and try to write as much as possible." And this letter is the evidence I got in front of the Queen Mother. ”
"I see. Yun Yao nodded, "With this letter, you have the most direct evidence to denounce Yingquan, and I am the one who wrote this letter, and the handwriting on it will become the strongest proof of my betrayal of Yingquan." And before I was imprisoned, I was Yingquan's personal palace maid, and my words were at least six or seven percent credible, so that the Queen Mother would rather kill by mistake than let go, and Yingquan would definitely be held accountable. ”
"When the time comes, I have solved a big problem for my henchmen, and you don't have to stay in this prison anymore, and I won't treat you badly if you concentrate on doing things for me in the future. Yao Meng continued with Yun Yao's words.
"Mrs. Yao is really a good calculation. A smile appeared on the corner of Yun Yao's mouth, and then said, "In this case, the slave will wait for Mrs. Yao's pen and paper tomorrow." ”
