Chapter 089: Panic
The news of He Meiren and Xiaomei's death was spread in the palace three days later.
At that time, Lu Yingquan's injuries tended to be stable, and he was also a lot more energetic, although he was still lying down and couldn't walk on the ground, he could already talk for a long time and eat food.
Although Lu Yingquan was injured and couldn't sleep, Shen Che also came over every day, even if he only accompanied Lu Yingquan at night, Shen Che was also willing.
Under the leadership of Yun Yao, the people of Linglong Pavilion took good care of Lu Yingquan, and they all did their best, ignoring the rumors outside, and the entire Linglong Pavilion was calm, which can be said to be a pure land in the Yiwang Palace.
However, the concubines of the other palaces were not so stable.
Mrs. Han's belly is more than five months old, and since she was frightened at the Lantern Festival Palace banquet, she has been hiding in the side hall of Suochuntai to raise the baby, with the supervision and control of the Empress Dowager Jiang, the child is alive and well, and she has nothing to worry about.
In addition, Yun Yao helped her in the past, and her suspicion of Lu Yingquan can be regarded as a write-off, seeing that Yun Yao and Lu Yingquan are prosperous, she has no jealousy, and she has never had any intention of harming others.
But Mrs. Jiang, who was grounded, was not so calm.
The one she pushed Lu Yingquan before was indeed wrong, the Queen Mother said that she had thought about it behind closed doors, she thought it was just for fun, and she would be released after a few days of grounding, but she didn't expect Shen Che to be serious, and actually arranged a forbidden army at the gate of her palace, and she was not allowed to go out of the palace.
But apart from her and Qi'er, the other palace maids and eunuchs were still able to come and go freely, ensuring that she had a worry-free life, but in fact she was like living in a prison where she spoke.
Just when she was worried, Yao Shuang came.
"Madam, Yao Meiren asked to see her outside, but was stopped by the guards at the door and didn't let her in. The finch hurried in and said, "Madame, go and see at the door." ”
"She came at the right time. Jiang Yi said, got up and walked outside, and as soon as he reached the door, he heard the voice of the guard persuading Yao Shuang to go back.
"Yao Meiren, you better go back, Your Highness has ordered, Yao Meiren has thought about it behind closed doors, and she can't see anyone. The guard spoke.
"Wait. Jiang Yi heard this and said, "Your Highness clearly said that I should be grounded in the palace and not go out to see anyone, why did you tamper with His Highness's will without authorization?"
When the guard heard this, he was a little puzzled: "Madam, is there any difference in this?"
"Of course it's different. Jiang Yi sneered and said, "Your Highness only said that I can't go out to see anyone, and didn't say that I won't let people come in to see me." I'm staying at home in this palace, Yao Meiren came to visit, His Royal Highness didn't say that she was not allowed to come in, right?"
"This ......" When the guard heard this, he was a little embarrassed, but he couldn't say anything, so he let Yao Shuang in.
After all, Mrs. Jiang and Yao Meiren are both masters, don't look at the current grounding, but sooner or later they will be released one day, and when they turn over again, they may turn over old accounts. In case Yao Meiren is stopped this time, Mrs. Jiang will blame her in the future, and they can't afford it.
Yao Shuang successfully entered, and she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, she felt that she urgently needed an alliance now to join forces to deal with Lu Yingquan and Yun Yao. Mrs. Han can't count on it, she has children by her side, and now she can only count on Mrs. Jiang.
Jiang Yi and Yao Shuang walked in, sat down in the hall, and let Que'er make tea, the two drank tea and chatted at the same time, the scene looked harmonious, if anyone saw it, I am afraid they would think that the two were very good sisters.
"Madam, you have been recuperating in the palace recently, I wonder if you have heard about He Meiren?" Yao Shuang drank tea and took the lead in asking.
However, she spoke very smartly, and she didn't want to mention Jiang Yi's sore spots, so she said that thinking about it behind closed doors was quiet recuperation, which made Jiang Yi very happy in her heart.
"Are you saying that Yun Yao took the forbidden army to capture He Meiren?" Jiang Yi asked, "This happened a few days ago, and I already knew about it. ”
"No, I mean...... He Meiren was given death by His Royal Highness. Yao Shuang put down the teacup and wiped the tea from the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief before she spoke, "I heard that He Meiren and her personal palace maid Xiaomei were both executed. The people around His Highness personally used their hands to kill with a knife, and the technique was neat. ”
"What?" Jiang Yi was shocked when he heard this.
"It seems that Mrs. Jiang doesn't know yet. Yao Shuang sighed, "Mrs. Jiang, I'm here today to tell you about this." Now there are not many sisters in this harem, Mrs. Han is a person who doesn't ask about the world, and now that He Meiren is dead, I am afraid that Lu Yingquan's next target is you and me. ”
"Since she came to Yiwang Palace, there have been fewer and fewer people in this Yiwang Palace day by day. Originally, although there were many people in the palace, His Royal Highness was also considered to be evenly wet, but now it is good, and Lu Yingquan is the only one who favors her. When Jiang Yi heard the news, she couldn't help but feel resentful in her heart, "Isn't this He Meiren usually not fighting or grabbing?
"I don't know. Yao Shuang shook her head and said, "Madame was recuperating in the palace, but she didn't see the situation at that time. Yun Yao took His Royal Highness's token, mobilized the forbidden army, surrounded the Green Garden, and didn't know what to say to He Meiren when he went in, and when he came out, He Meiren and Xiaomei were tied up. And that time was the last time the people in the palace saw He Meiren. ”
"This Yun Yao is really not simple. Jiang Yi said, "She can bring down He Meiren, who has never made mistakes, overnight, which shows that her scheming is unfathomable." Sister Yao, we must be careful in everything, and we must not let her take advantage of it. ”
That's exactly what happened. Yao Shuang nodded, "I'm also here for this matter, I don't know if Madam has any good way to control this Yun Yao?"
Jiang Yi glanced at Yao Shuang and thought slightly in her heart.
Yun Yao is resourceful and rash, I am afraid that she can only send the handle to Yun Yao's hands for her to use, if she does not plan carefully, she will not be able to do anything to Yun Yao at all.
She is still under lockdown, and she can't control the situation outside, so she shouldn't act rashly.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yi shook her head and said, "Sister Yao, if I had a way to deal with them, I wouldn't have been grounded. Sister, don't panic for the time being, anyway, Lu Yingquan is seriously injured, and he can't afford any strong winds and waves for the time being, so we might as well wait and see what happens. Now that I'm trapped here, I ask my sister to be outside and keep an eye on Lu Yingquan, if I can catch her handle, it would be great. ”
Yao Shuang also seemed to know the truth that she couldn't make a rash move, so she nodded and promised Jiang Yi to keep an eye on Lu Yingquan, trying to find his handle and then plot.
The two talked for a while, and Yao Shuang left.
At the same time, the news that Yao Shuang went to see Jiang Yi was also sent to Linglong Pavilion, and even the general content of their conversation, Yun Yao also knew.
Lu Yingquan was very surprised by this, so he asked, "Isn't Jiang Yi grounded? Her palace is heavily guarded, how can you find out?"
"Money makes the devil grind. Anyway, we don't need any silver in the palace, so I'll let Sisi take it to take care of it. Yun Yao said, "On the second day after you were injured and unconscious, I asked her to go around the palace and buy all those who could be bought, and she would definitely be able to use them in the future." ”
"I see. Lu Yingquan nodded slightly, but then he looked very worried, and asked again, "Now that Yao Shuang and Jiang Yi are united, I'm afraid they are going to deal with us." Now I'm seriously injured, if they do it now......"
"No, it won't. Yun Yao dispelled Lu Yingquan's doubts, "Now that Mrs. Jiang herself is still grounded, she won't make a move if she can't plan well." By the time she's released, your injuries should be almost healed. ”
After listening to Yun Yao's words, Lu Yingquan relieved his heart and recuperated with more peace of mind.
In fact, to solve He Meiren, this trick is still very effective. Not only did it break the connection between Yiguo and Ning Palace, but it also made Jiang Yi and Yao Shuang mess up because they were afraid.
They didn't know that He Meiren was meticulous, they just thought that Yun Yao used some method to pull He Meiren into the water. Therefore, in order to remain invincible in this battle, they will definitely do everything they can, but the more they do, the more wrong they will be, and the more likely they will be caught.
Immediately afterwards, Yun Yao asked Lu Yingquan to have a good rest, and he went to the room where Ning Lan lived before.
She knew a lot of things from He Meiren, and also knew the existence of the Phoenix Luan Buckle Token, when Ning Lan died, she couldn't get this token, and now after a year, she must find this thing.
Yun Yao had a hunch that this token would be used sooner or later, so getting it now can be regarded as a case in case. She had already put away the token from He Meiren, and now she just had to find the one that belonged to Ning Lan.
Fortunately, after Ning Lan died, no one moved her room, and the furnishings and things inside were still in their original state, although no one lived in them for a year, and there may have been a thick layer of ash inside, but as long as the things are still there, they will definitely be able to find them.
Pushing open the door, a thick smell of smoke and dust came to his nose, the room was indeed covered with dust, and the turbid air made Yun Yao cough a few times involuntarily, as if choking her mouth and nose.
It took a while for her to get used to it, and she started rummaging.
For something as important as a token, Ning Lan would definitely not be placed in a conspicuous place, so Yun Yao searched very carefully, every drawer, every corner, and searched carefully.
But in the end, she found nothing.
Yun Yao was puzzled, could she have guessed wrong? It shouldn't be, because when she mentioned that Ning Lan had a token, He Meiren didn't deny it, and there was only surprise in her eyes, indicating that He Meiren didn't expect her to guess at all.
So, the token must be in this room. But where?
While thinking, Yun Yao's gaze fell on a vase in the corner, the flowers in the vase had withered and rotted, and only the bare dead branches were stuck there. She approached slowly, scooped out all the dead branches, and turned the vase upside down.
With a bang, something seemed to fall to the ground, and if you looked closely, it was the Phoenix Luan Buckle Token, exactly the same as the one you got from He Meiren.
Yun Yao picked up the token and silently put it away, and couldn't help but chuckle.
