Yun Yao lived the most peaceful days in the Hehuan Palace, there was no conspiracy, no slander and frame-in, no need to be on guard against someone stabbing in the back all the time, just having fun with Rong Ya, a half-grown little girl.

However, she always remembered Lu Yingquan and the plain heart in the Yeting Palace.

Since Rong Ya's tenth birthday, after she finished speaking in Qionghuatai, she, Lu Yingquan and Su Xin have never spoken again, not because they don't want to, but because they don't have a chance.

"Queen Mother, the slave wants to ask you for something, is it okay?" Suddenly, Yun Yao walked in front of Rong Ya and bowed down and asked.

"What's the matter?" asked Rong Ya, tilting her head, looking very cute.

"The slave maid wants to go back to the Yeting Palace to have a look. Yun Yao said, "After all, it is the place where the slave maid has lived for nearly a year, and there are many people who are concerned." Since the slave maid arrived at the Hehuan Palace, she hasn't gone back to see it. ”

"I thought it was something big. Rong Ya said, "You can go, but you have to come back before the afternoon, because those concubines said that they would come to ask for peace in the afternoon, and I don't know how to deal with them without you." ”

"Don't worry, mother. Yun Yao was very happy when she saw Rong Ya agree, and immediately said, "The slave maid just went to see her old friend and will come back immediately." ”

After getting Rong Ya's consent, Yun Yao left the Hehuan Hall and headed towards the Yeting Palace.

She didn't bring anyone, according to her grade, she could bring a personal maid by her side, Chenxi and An Ran were the maidservants assigned to her by the Queen Mother, but this time, she didn't want to take them.

The way back to the palace had been walked many times, and every time she had to return to that place at the end of a day's errands, she once regarded it as her home, but later learned that she was just a passerby in that place.

Her current battlefield is the Hehuan Hall and the entire harem.

On the familiar road, I occasionally met the palace maids who had been on an errand with me before, and they no longer called her name with a big grin, but they all stopped, saluted, and called her a young envoy in a proper manner.

Yun Yao didn't think it was an honor, nor did she think it was something worth showing off, because she knew that behind the surface of this deferential voice, she didn't know how much unwillingness and murder were hidden.

The moment she stepped into the Nesting Palace, Yun Yao felt a little like a world away from life in her heart.

It's still the familiar palace, it's still those faces, but she's not the same person she used to be, and here...... There is no longer Lu Yingquan who works hand in hand with her.

"Yun Yao!" Suddenly, a voice full of surprise sounded behind her.

Yun Yao turned around when she heard this, but saw Lu Yingquan coming in full costume, wearing the uniform of Sanpin Imperial Front Shangyi, the whole person looked noble and graceful, and his temperament was outstanding, even more brilliant than many concubines in the harem.

"Yingquan!" Yun Yao was also surprised, she didn't know if this was a tacit understanding between sisters, the two of them could meet in the Yeting Palace.

"I begged the emperor to let me go back to the Yeting Palace to have a look, thinking that you would definitely come back to find Sister Su Xin, and I wanted her to help me bring you a message, but I didn't expect this to happen!" Lu Yingquan hurriedly ran over, took Yun Yao's hand, and said.

"We went to find Sister Su Xin and she would definitely be happy to see us back. Yun Yao said, and went to Su Xin's room with Yingquan.

Su Xin suddenly saw the two of them, not to mention how happy she was, after all, for so many days, after the two entered the inner palace, they didn't bring back any letters, and the news of Yingquan could still be inquired about through Luo Gonggong, but Yun Yao was in the inner palace, and she couldn't contact it at all, and the emperor never went to the queen, so there was no way to know.

"Why did you come back together?" Su Xin asked, a little excited.

"No, I met at the door. Lu Yingquan said, "I feel that only when I get here, I dare to speak openly." Don't you know, when the emperor is on an errand by the emperor's side, he trembles every day, and when the emperor and those courtiers discuss things, I listen to them on the side, and they have something to say, and I am almost dizzy. ”

"It's the same with the queen mother, since the queen mother began to take charge of the phoenix seal and take care of the affairs of the six palaces, those concubines who never come to the Hehuan Hall come once every three days. Yun Yao then spoke.

"That's how nice. Su Xin looked at the two younger sisters and couldn't help but sigh, "You finally entered the inner palace as you wished, it seems that you are doing well, just handle the errands." ”

"After all, it's better to be at ease in the Yeting Palace. Lu Yingquan said, "However, there are gains and losses, and in his position, I can only take responsibility, this is my own choice." ”

The three of them chatted in the room, talking about each other's situation, and agreed that no matter what happened, they would come to the Yeting Palace for a small gathering at a fixed time every month.

Time flew by, and soon it was almost noon.

"It's not early, I promised the queen that I would go back before the afternoon, and I had to go first. Yun Yao looked at the time and took the lead in speaking.

"I should also go, the emperor will review the fold first after lunch, and then take a nap, I have to go back and wait. Lu Yingquan also said.

"I wanted to keep you for dinner, but I thought that one of you is a young envoy and the other is Shangyi, and the meal in the Ting Palace is no longer suitable for you. Su Xin said, "I won't say anything superfluous, no matter what, you all take care, and ......"

"Support each other and help each other. Yun Yao and Lu Yingquan said the rest of Su Xin's words in unison.

The three of them looked at each other and smiled, seeing each other's concern from each other's eyes, and their hearts warmed.

Yun Yao and Lu Yingquan broke up at the gate of the Yeting Palace, and the two of them walked towards two different paths, one went to the Hehuan Hall of the Deep Wall Inner Palace, and the other went to the magnificent Changming Palace.

"Yun Yao. As soon as Yun Yao walked near the rockery in the imperial garden, she heard someone calling herself, and she turned her head to see that it was Shuwen.

"Is there something wrong?" Yun Yao looked at Shuwen and asked lightly.

"Let's not be so polite, right?" Shuwen's eyes were slightly sarcastic, "Do you dare to say that Gonggong Luo didn't give you a favor last time?" There were so many palace maids, he didn't look for anyone, but he found the two of you, and it didn't take long for the two of you to leave the Yeting Palace and climb the high branches. ”

"What exactly do you want to say?" Yun Yao vaguely guessed Shuwen's intention, but asked quietly.

"You haven't forgotten my previous conditions, have you? If you have any good, you must remember me, otherwise I will tell me about the fact that you poisoned Bishui with arsenic, and I will tell others that Bishui poisoning was instigated by you. Anyway, you are a good doctor, and if I say so, no one will doubt it. Shuwen said.

"Then what do you want?" Yun Yao listened to Shuwen's words, but she was not nervous in her heart.

Bishui is dead, and there is no proof of death, even if Shuwen says it, at most it will only ruin her reputation. However, she is now a young envoy of the fifth grade, and there is no evidence, Shuwen casually said that she was guilty of the following crimes, and she could be punished.

"You and Lu Yingquan are both female officials, you can't even have the right to promote a palace maid, right? I don't have that much ambition, I want to be a first-class palace maid in the Hehuan Palace, and serve by the queen's side with you. Shuwen said, "As long as you tell the queen mother to promote me, then I will be rotten in my stomach and no one will say anything, otherwise...... You just wait to fall from the clouds and return to your Langyue Pavilion!"

As soon as Shuwen's words fell, there was a muffled grunt and the sound of a wooden stick hitting the back of her neck.

Yun Yao watched Shuwen slowly faint on the ground, and looked at Lu Yingquan who was originally standing behind Shuwen in a daze, and couldn't help but be shocked: "Didn't you go back to Changming Palace? Why are you here?"

"I saw her sneaking after you, so I came with her. Lu Yingquan said, "Rumei also threatened me like this at the beginning, but she didn't end well, and now you and I have finally entered the inner palace and haven't gained a firm foothold, how can I allow her to threaten you like this?"

"What do you want to do?" Yun Yao looked at Lu Yingquan's suddenly changed face, and her heart was shocked.

She had never seen such a fountain before.

Yingquan's lips pursed slightly, the killing intent in his eyes was so obvious, and he approached Shuwen lying on the ground step by step, and the stick in his hand clenched involuntarily.

It seemed that the next moment, the force on the stick was all about to hit Shuwen's head.

"Maybe I'm not doing it right, but I can't let such a person appear in front of you all the time, threaten you, and answer you. Lu Yingquan said, then raised the stick and smashed it towards Shuwen's head.

"Stop, Yingquan!" Yun Yao opened her mouth to stop Lu Yingquan at the critical moment, and reached out to catch Lu Yingquan's stick, shaking her head at her, "You can't do this...... You forgot what Sister Su Xin said, principles and bottom lines can't be lost. ”

"But she threatens you, her existence threatens your life, she is a hidden danger, if you don't get rid of it now, she is likely to fight back against you in the future!" Lu Yingquan gritted his teeth and said.

It seems that she has seen the tassel kill Rumei with her own eyes, and her face is also a little hideous at this time.

"Sometimes, you have to start with what you should do, and you can't be soft on what you should be ruthless. Suddenly, a familiar voice came from the side of the rockery, "I have been staring at you all the way, I thought you would be bold to start, but I didn't expect it to come to an end, but I flinched." ”

The voice came to Yun Yao and Lu Yingquan from far and near, and spoke again: "Yun Yao, although you are smarter and more secure than Lu Yingquan, you are really inferior to her in terms of decisiveness. Do you think that when you enter the inner palace, you can still be alone as before? Murder...... It's a matter of time. ”

This voice, like a ghost, resounded in the ears of Yun Yao and Lu Yingquan, affecting their minds.

"Don't you want to live? Don't you want to save your life? If you want to gain a foothold in the deep palace, whose hands are not stained with blood? Whoever threatens you is removed, and whoever stands in your way is killed...... Since this step will have to be taken sooner or later, why should we bury a hidden danger for our future path today?"

The voice continued, word by word, like a magic spell, making Yun Yao and Lu Yingquan gradually lost.

Yun Yao looked at the splendid aunt in front of her, and the shock in her heart was incomprehensible. She knew that the reason why Aunt Jinxiu was staring at them was because of the order of the Queen Mother, and the reason why the Queen Mother was like this was to force them to a dead end.

If you don't kill Shuwen, it is tantamount to disobeying the Queen Mother's orders, letting the Queen Mother know that she is not a person who can become a great weapon, nor is she a person who can be reused, then she is likely to die unknowingly in the conspiracy of the Queen Mother, or Shuwen will fight back at any time.

But if she kills Shuwen, she really can't turn back, and from then on she can only sink in the deep palace and become a tool with bloody hands.

"That's right. Lu Yingquan quickly said, "Every time my life is threatened, I wonder why I am not strong enough, why I can't take precautions." Today's threat is like a knife around your neck, which could cut your throat at any time. ”

Yun Yao listened quietly, she didn't know when Lu Yingquan had quietly changed, and she was no longer the girl who turned pale when she heard other people's gossip. But such a reflection spring, she felt both relieved and strange.

"In this palace, there are few people whose hands are clean, and in order to survive, anything can be done. Lu Yingquan then spoke, "Maybe all this has been doomed since we fought back against Xiangqin and designed Yuehe." If you can't do it, then I'll help you...... I won't let anyone threaten you. ”

Lu Yingquan said, and then raised the stick again.

"No!" Yun Yao stopped again, "Even if I really want to do it, I have to do it myself." Yingquan ...... No matter what you think in your heart, I don't want too much blood on your hands, and if one of the two of us is destined to sink, I hope it's me. ”

Yun Yao said as she took a deep breath, took out two silver needles from her waist, trembled her hands, and pierced several acupuncture points in Shuwen.

This silver needle was originally begged by her to Gu Qingming to save people, but now it has become a sharp weapon for her to kill, and even ...... Kill invisibly.

After a needle, I saw Shuwen's body trembling, and soon she lost her breath.

At this time, Yun Yao was also sitting on the ground limply, looking at the dead Shuwen with both hands, and then looking at her hands, she only felt that her eyes were full of scarlet, and there seemed to be some kind of hot and humid liquid, dripping from her fingers, which was shocking.

Jinxiu witnessed all this the whole process, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she said to Yun Yao: "Young Envoy Yun, you have already stepped into the inner palace, please take care." ”

After speaking, Jinxiu turned around and left, ignoring the corpses on the ground, and what Yun Yao and Lu Yingquan should do with them.

Very good, Yun Yao has been forced to this role, she will no longer think about being alone, one human life is enough to make Yun Yao, who was originally sober and persistent, collapse, she will only struggle more obediently in the inner palace, and the Queen Mother ...... That's what you want.

"Yun Yao......" Lu Yingquan looked at Yun Yao, moved in his heart, and didn't know what to say.

She knew that Yun Yao was so kind that she didn't want to kill, but in order to keep her hands from being stained with blood, Yun Yao used the silver needle that was supposed to be used to save people and killed people.

"I still can't get to this point...... Can't go back......" Yun Yao seemed to be talking to Yingquan, and seemed to be muttering to herself, "Yingquan, I don't want to be forced to do anything anymore, I don't want to ...... I just want to be free......"
