Chapter 013: Bloody Plague

readx;? After being silent for a long time, Shen Ze spoke: "The queen mother will not agree to relocate the people of Ji'an County to Yiguo. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"But it's the best and fastest way. Gu Qingming said, "You can't delay the major event of controlling the flood because the Queen Mother doesn't agree, if the Queen Mother really thinks about Daning, she will agree." ”

"In her heart, the consolidation of rights is more important than anything else, let alone the thousands of lives in Ji'an County?" Shen Ze sneered, "The people of Ji'an County are good at living in flat areas where rivers flow all year round, and are good at farming, if they are really allowed to move into the fiefdom of King Yi, then these people will greatly promote the development of Yiguo's agriculture and ensure that Yiguo has enough food." ”

"Agriculture is the foundation, and if the country develops agriculture, the fiefdom will be stable and expand, and the power will also expand. Gu Qingming said, "In addition, if the refugees are moved into Yiguo, if they are properly handled, it can not only increase the comprehensive strength of Yiguo, but also demonstrate the benevolence of His Royal Highness King Yi." This is extremely unfavorable to the Queen Mother's control of the Daning country. ”

"Exactly. Shen Ze nodded, "So no matter what the considerations, the queen mother will not agree." If I forcibly move these people into Yiguo, it will only attract the queen mother's increasingly impenetrable surveillance of the Seven Emperor Brothers, which is not what I want to see. ”

"However, if you move into other fiefdoms, the amount of work will increase, it will be more time-consuming, and it will cost money and manpower. Gu Qingming said, "Perhaps, we can find someone to persuade the Queen Mother to agree to move this group of people into Yiguo." ”

"Who can persuade?" asked Shen Ze.

"The emperor should not have forgotten that Lu Shangyi is the queen mother's person on the surface. Gu Qingming said, "What she said, the Queen Mother must be more convinced." ”

"I see. Shen Ze nodded, lost in thought, and seemed to have thought of a way.

Gu Qingming chatted with Shen Ze for a while, and then left Changming Palace, he wanted to go to Hehuan Palace, but after all, he restrained his thoughts, left the palace, and returned to the General's Mansion.

Although he boasted of his strong martial arts, he came and went without a trace, and it was difficult for the palace guards to find the traces, but he didn't dare to guarantee that it was completely foolproof, so he didn't want to bring Yun Yao any possibility that might lead to death, after all, Yun Yao's current situation was dangerous enough.

As the night passed, the day began to dawn.

Yun Yao waited for Rong Ya to get up, and it happened that when she was having breakfast, the concubines in the palace also arrived, except for Yang Meiren.

"Zhuzhi, can you see clearly, Yang Meiren really didn't come?" Yun Yao asked Zhuzhi who came to pay her respects while serving Rong Ya for breakfast.

"Back to Miss Yunyao's words, the slave maid saw it clearly. Zhuzhi said, "But Ying'er, the first-class palace maid next to Yang Meiren, came, and looked like she was very anxious, as if she was waiting for the queen to go out." ”

"I see. Yun Yao said, but there were no other words.

After eating breakfast, Rong Ya was not in a hurry to see those concubines, but held the book and read it gracefully.

Time passed bit by bit, and Yun Yao estimated that those concubines were a little impatient to wait, so she asked Rong Ya, left the dormitory, and headed towards the front hall.

When Yun Yao arrived at the front hall, she saw everyone waiting in the hall, some anxious, some calm, with different complexions.

"Slaves and maids, please greet your masters. Yun Yao entered the hall, first saluted everyone, and then said, "The queen mother has been troubled by the boiling witchcraft in the palace recently, and she can't sleep at night, so she slept a little more this morning." But now we have a clue. ”

"Dare to ask Young Envoy Yun, what did the queen mother find out?" Ying'er hurriedly asked as soon as she heard this.

"Niangniang found out something, and she hasn't had time to tell me yet. Yun Yao smiled, then turned her head to look at Zhou Meiren, "Qi Zhou Meiren, the queen mother invited the beauty to enter the inner hall for a while." ”

"Young Envoy Yun, did the queen mother only invite Zhou Meiren alone?" Seeing this, Jiang Meiren asked, and then said, "Since this is the case, then there is no need for me to stay here, I am tired of Young Envoy Yun to help me talk to the queen mother, and come back to ask her for peace another day." ”

After speaking, Jiang Meiren turned around and left with the flower shadow and walked towards the outside of the Hehuan Palace.

"This Jiang Meiren is still as acute as ever. Du Liangren said casually, as if he was sighing, but as if he was alluding to something.

"I'm afraid the queen won't be able to come out for a while, so please take care of the masters. Yun Yao saw Jiang Meiren leaving, so she said this, blessed everyone again, and then led Zhou Meiren towards the inner hall.

Jiang Meiren left, Zhou Meiren was taken away by Yun Yao, Xu Liangren and Du Liangren saw that the queen didn't come out, and it was not interesting to stay, so the two discussed and left, and in an instant, only Ying'er was left in the hall.

Ying'er remembered Yun Yao's words, and learned that the queen mother had a clue about investigating the witchcraft technique, so she wanted to find someone to inquire, so she walked out of the main hall, and took advantage of the fact that there was no one around, and walked towards the place where the palace maid lived in the backyard.

Yun Yao led Zhou Meiren and did not return to the inner hall the same way, but deliberately took a detour and passed by the road next to the backyard.

This Hehuan Hall has not been inhabited before, and after Rong Ya entered the palace, she has been closed, and every time the concubine asks for peace, she is in the main hall, so Zhou Meiren has never been to the inner hall, she doesn't know the way, so Yun Yao leads the way.

But she didn't understand what the queen had summoned her for alone.

"Young Envoy Yun, I don't know why the queen summoned me?" Zhou Meiren thought about it, and still asked, after all, there are many hearts and eyes in this palace and there is no suspicion, what if this queen is a big ghost and wants to be unfavorable to her?

"That's right, the queen mother knows that Zhou Meiren, your father is the Taichang of the dynasty, the main god and ghost sacrifice, and he should know something about this ghost and god. But the queen was inconvenient to summon the ministers, so she thought about finding Zhou Meiren to discuss a thing or two. Yun Yao explained the reason, and then praised, "Zhou Meiren is the only daughter of Zhou Taichang's family, and she must be very proficient in Taichang's skills. Therefore, the queen wanted to ask Zhou Meiren to investigate the matter of witchcraft together. ”

When Zhou Meiren heard the words "please investigate her together" in Yun Yao's mouth, she was secretly happy in her heart, so she tacitly assumed that this was Rong Ya's recognition of her existence and asked her to assist in the Sixth Palace.

"I see. Zhou Meiren said, "Don't worry, I will do my best to help the queen find out the truth of the matter." ”

"The slave maid first thanked Zhou Meiren for the queen's mother. Yun Yao said, then made a "please" gesture, and spoke again, "Beauty, please hereβ€”"

The moment the words fell, the two walked on a gravel road, but happened to see Ying'er and Chenxi standing in the woods next to them talking.

Ying'er's expression was serious, as if she was asking something, but Chenxi kept shaking her head, as if she didn't know what Ying'er was asking.

Yun Yao glanced at Zhou Meiren quietly, making sure that Zhou Meiren and the lotus heart beside her had seen this scene, the corners of her mouth hooked up a slight chuckle, and she continued to walk forward.

When he was about to walk to the inner hall, Zhuzhi suddenly ran over in a hurry and said to Yun Yao: "Miss Yun, hurry up, the queen is in a hurry." Niangniang has found the curse foreshadowed in Yang Meiren's dream, saying that she painted two knives, plus the eight characters of the cursed person's birthday, which means that this person will have a bloody disaster in the near future. ”

"You girl, reckless, how can you say these words in front of Zhou Meiren?" Yun Yao looked at the bamboo branch and opened her mouth to reprimand.

"The slave maid asked Zhou Meiren to say goodbye. Zhuzhi seemed to react at this time, and said to Zhou Meiren, "The slave has no intention of offending, please forgive Zhou Meiren." ”

"It's okay, I didn't expect that although the queen mother is young, she can manage the harem but do her duty, and she can also find out such a mysterious and taboo thing. Zhou Meiren sighed, "Young Envoy Yun, since the queen has found out, do I still need to go to the inner hall?"

"Since Niangniang has invited, Zhou Meiren, you should go for a trip. Niangniang can get Zhou Meiren's help, presumably it must be like a tiger with wings. Yun Yao's sycophant shot made Zhou Meiren very useful.

The three of them soon arrived at the inner hall, and when Rong Ya saw Zhou Meiren, she pulled her to ask questions, with a naΓ―ve and ignorant look of her little daughter's family, so that Zhou Meiren did not have any suspicions.

Yun Yao withdrew at this time, found Xiao Haizi, the little eunuch on an errand in the Hehuan Palace, and said, "Do you remember what the queen mother explained yesterday?"

"I remember it clearly. Xiao Haizi nodded, "Pour some oil on the way back to Mingluan Hall for Zhou Meiren." ”

"Let's go. Yun Yao commanded.

"Yes, the minion will go. Xiao Haizi took the order, and quickly went to the small kitchen to get some oil, and splashed it on the way Zhou Meiren returned to the Mingluan Palace.

After doing all this, Xiao Haizi came back to return to Yun Yao.

Seeing that everything was ready, Yun Yao returned to her house, took the purse she had prepared, and came to the door of the house where Chenxi and An Ran lived.

Chenxi had already been called out by Ying'er, and An Ran was on an errand beside the queen at this time, so Yun Yao easily entered the door, stuffed the purse under Chenxi's bed, pressed it with cotton wool, and flattened it so hard that there was no trace to be seen, so she retreated and returned to the inner hall.

Seeing Yun Yao coming back, Rong Ya knew that the matter had been done, and then said to Zhou Meiren:

"Sister Zhou, she really deserves to be the daughter of Lord Taichang, and she knows so much. Gai Ming'er, come with me to see Sister Yang, with you by my side, I also have confidence in my heart. ”

When Zhou Meiren heard this, she dared to show favor to this queen mother and invited her to see Yang Meiren together, how could she not seize such an opportunity? If others saw her and the queen mother appear together, her status in the harem would naturally not be the same.

"The concubines obey the orders of the queen and obey the call of the queen at any time. Zhou Meiren immediately said, ecstatic, "It's not too early, and the concubine will retire first." ”

"Sister Zhou walked slowly. Rong Ya nodded and instructed Mama Qi to send Zhou Meiren away.

And just when Zhou Meiren left the Hehuan Palace, Lianxin said: "Beauty, there is something, the slave doesn't know whether to talk about it or not. ”
