Although Shen Ze did not intercede for Lu Yingquan openly, he was still helping her secretly. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
When he heard that Lu Yingquan was cut off from the position of Shangyi in front of the fourth rank and demoted to a second-class palace maid, Shen Ze silently sent someone to prepare a room for Lu Yingquan.
Although they are all second-class palace maids' houses, Lu Yingquan's place of residence is different from others. Although there are no luxurious ornaments in her room, and it is not as large as the independent courtyard before, the quilts and mattresses on the bed are new, and they are all high-quality quilts that have just been brought from the Internal Affairs Office, which is very different from other palace maids.
The basins in the room, as well as the teapot on the table, should all be of the highest quality, and it can be seen that Shen Ze has put a lot of thought into it.
Entering the room, Lu Yingquan felt different, a trace of guilt flashed in her heart, not long ago she blamed Shen Ze for being like a turtle with a shrunken head and refusing to intercede for her, but now, she realized Shen Ze's good intentions.
"Lord Lu, your body hasn't recovered yet, so it's better to rest in the house. Don't be an errand in the next few days, I'll do your errand for you. Furong looked at Lu Yingquan and said, "Anyway, I'm a lantern palace maid, I only work at night, I have nothing to do during the day, and I am looking for something to do to pass the time." ”
"How can this be done? If the Queen Mother knows, we may all be punished. Lu Yingquan disagreed.
"What does it matter? I volunteered to help you work, can the Queen Mother say anything?" Fleur said, "Even if it's the Queen Mother, she has to be reasonable, doesn't she?"
"What Furong said is reasonable, even if it is the queen mother, she has to be reasonable. Yun Yao listened to the conversation between Furong and Yingquan on the side, and couldn't help laughing, "I didn't expect that there would be such a transparent person as Furong in the palace." ”
While speaking, Yun Yao walked to the table and wanted to pour a glass of water for Yingquan, but found that the teapot was empty. Come to think of it, this house was uninhabited before, and Yingquan had just come in, so naturally there was no hot water.
"Young Envoy Yun, is there no water? I'll go boil water for Lord Lu, anyway, I don't have anything else to do now. Furong's eyes were sharp, and when she saw Yun Yao's movements, she took the initiative to speak, "Young Envoy Yun, Lord Lu has just been injured, if you are free, accompany her more." I have always heard that you are good sisters, and with you by your side, Lord Lu must be in a better mood. ”
"You're such a thoughtful and lovely person. Yun Yao nodded, then handed the teapot in her hand to Furong and asked her to boil water.
Lu Yingquan looked at the back of Furong leaving, and couldn't help but sigh: "In this Changming Palace, except for the emperor and Grandpa Luo, probably only Furong is the best for me." Several times I was injured, she helped me with the medicine, and this time I was belittled, and she didn't gloat and make fun of me like everyone else, but cared so much about me. ”
"Yingquan, do you remember what was the first thing you said after you saw me in the original room before you came to this room?" Yun Yao didn't follow Lu Yingquan's words, but asked.
I said...... I shouldn't disobey you, I shouldn't trust others, no one in this house can trust each other except us. Lu Yingquan thought about it carefully, and then said.
"Then do you remember what happened on the night of the accident? Have you ever been in contact with anyone other than the emperor and Grandpa Luo?Have you ever eaten or drunk anything that someone else gave you?" Yun Yao asked again.
"Nope...... I ate a sweet potato that Fleur gave me. But the sweet potato was roasted by her in front of me, and she also ate one of the two sweet potatoes herself, and she handed it to me when she baked it, and it was still hot!" Lu Yingquan carefully recalled the scene at that time and found that there was no flaw.
In fact, she already knew when Yun Yao opened her mouth to ask questions, and Yun Yao was suspicious of Furong. But Fleur had no reason to do that, and she didn't have time, except for the sweet potato. But the sweet potatoes were really roasted in front of her, and everything seemed fine.
"There are many ways to administer medicine, colorless and tasteless, unconsciously, if the technique is clever, even in front of you, you may not find out. Yun Yao said, "Do you know why I should doubt her?"
"Why? Is it because she is too kind to me?" Lu Yingquan asked.
"That's just one of the reasons. Another reason is that when she took the teapot from me, she accidentally exposed the bracelet on her wrist. Yun Yao thought for a while, and then said, "I have been with the queen for a long time, and I have seen a lot of jewelry, and such a white jade bracelet with a crystal white body is not something that a second-class palace maid like Furong can bring." ”
"Perhaps...... Did she save money to buy it?" Lu Yingquan was still a little incredulous in her heart, but even if she made an excuse to excuse Furong, what she said was so unconfident.
"A second-class palace maid, how long does it take for her to save up for such a white jade bracelet?" Yun Yao said, "It's not that I insist on doubting Furong, it's just that it's always right to be careful." If you don't believe it, when Fleur comes, you pay attention to her wrist. You used to be a young lady, and you know more about these things than I do, so you should be able to tell the price of the bracelet. ”
"If it's really her......" Lu Yingquan muttered so lowly, he had already doubted Furong because of Yun Yao's words, and the look of murder on his face flashed.
Yun Yao's heart is as careful as hair, since she can tell the reason, it won't be made up, no matter whether Furong is the one who framed her or not, at least the white jade bracelet in her hand must have a problematic origin.
"It's uncertain yet, I know you have a grudge in your heart, but you have to endure it until everything is clear. Yun Yao persuaded, "You have survived so many cuts, there are some things that you don't need me to say more, you should understand." ”
"Don't worry, I understand. Lu Yingquan nodded, "I'll just treat it as if I don't know anything, and I'll leave this matter to you." ”
"If you believe me, take good care of yourself, take care of yourself during this time, Furong is willing to show goodwill, you just call, anyway, there is the emperor in Changming Palace, and others can't do anything to you. As for the Queen Mother, she still has a place to use you, and she won't make trouble anymore. Yun Yao held Yingquan's shoulder and analyzed.
Lu Yingquan nodded, with a thoughtful look in his eyes, biting his lips tightly, and clasping his hands, it could be seen that even though he was calm on the surface, his heart was still turbulent.
Yun Yao accompanied Lu Yingquan to talk for a while, and slowly unraveled her. Because she was afraid that Yingquan would not be able to think about it for a while, and she would do something wrong impulsively, and it would be difficult to recover it when the time came. However, fortunately, Yingquan is now different from when she was in the Yeting Palace, and she knows how to advance and retreat and forbear, which also reassures Yun Yao a lot.
About half an hour later, Furong came back with a teapot in her hand, and after entering the door, she diligently poured a glass of water for Lu Yingquan and handed it to her.
"Lord Lu, I've kept you waiting for a long time. Fleur said with some embarrassment.
"Furong, don't call me Lord Lu in the future, I am no longer a fourth-grade female official, but just like you, I am an ordinary second-class palace maid, you can just call me by my name. Lu Yingquan smiled lightly at Furong, and said this, as if he was not wary at all.
"Alright then, Yingquan, if you have anything to help with, just look for me. Fleur agreed.
Lu Yingquan nodded, his gaze inadvertently swept over Furong's wrist, and sure enough, he saw that where the sleeves were not covered, a piece of crystal clear white jade was revealed, which was the white jade bracelet that Yun Yao was talking about.
The white jade is flawless, lustrous and shining, it is not ordinary at first glance, such a bracelet is really not something that Hibiscus can afford, unless...... It was given by the master of the palace.
"It's not too early, I should go back too, the queen is still waiting for her life. Yun Yao saw that Yingquan had calmed down, so she was also relieved and said, "Furong, Yingquan will trouble you in the past few days." ”
"Young Envoy Yun is polite, the slave maid and Yingquan are on an errand in the same palace, so they should support each other. Furong saluted Yun Yao and said so.
Yun Yao nodded, then left Yingquan's room and went to Huan Palace.
Rong Ya was also anxious at this time, she was in this palace, there were not many people who could tell the truth, and Yun Yao was the only one, and Lu Yingquan had a lively temperament and could joke with the emperor, which made Rong Ya appreciate and like it very much.
After all, there are too many submissive people in this palace, so there are a few more people like Yingquan, so between her and Lu Yingquan, it can be regarded as a good conversation.
Seeing Yun Yao coming back, Rong Ya hurriedly greeted her and asked, "How is it?" Sister Yingquan is okay?"
"It's not a big deal for the time being, it's just that the body is damaged, I'm afraid it will ...... in the future" Yun Yao said, shaking her head slightly, and the rest of the words were not spoken.
But Rong Ya still understood, after all, when Lu Yingquan was tortured in Jianzhang Palace, she was also there.
"Then do you know who did this?" asked Rong Ya again.
In terms of Lu Yingquan's body, she couldn't do anything, so she thought about helping from other aspects, if she could find out the person who framed Lu Yingquan behind it, it would be a help.
"There's a bit of an eyebrow, but it's not entirely certain. Yun Yao said, "Niangniang, can you go to, where is white jade abundant in Daning?"
"Sister Yingquan's matter, does it have anything to do with Bai Yu?" asked Rong Ya curiously.
"The slave is not sure if it has anything to do with it, but since there are clues, it is always right to look it up. Yun Yao said, "What's more, according to Yingquan's account, only this person has the opportunity to approach her." The slave couldn't think of anyone else but this one. ”
"Bai Yu ......" Rong Ya frowned, tilted her head and thought carefully, pacing while thinking, and finally walked to the soft couch on the side and sat down, holding her face with both hands, as if she was recalling something.
After a long time, Rong Ya seemed to remember something, and said in surprise: "The place where white jade is abundant is Zhongming Mountain in the northwest of Daning! My father went out on a tour in his early years, passed by Zhongming Mountain, and brought back a lot of white jade heads, noodles and jewelry!"
After saying this, Rong Ya hurriedly got up and ran towards the inner hall.
Yun Yao was puzzled, followed behind, and watched Rong Ya rummage through the hall, rummaging through the wardrobe, drawers, and various makeup boxes, and finally found a dark brown bag in a box in the corner.
