The day passed so turbulently but peacefully, nothing happened, it was really quiet and felt a little unreasonable.

Shen Che really spoke his mind, and the next day, the Bright Hall issued a holy decree, which spread throughout the entire harem at the speed of the wind and grass, and reached everyone's ears, including Lu Yingquan and Yun Yao.

Few people can remember the original words of the holy decree, but the meaning of the holy decree is clear to everyone.

It is to the effect that many women in the palace of King Yi were brought into the palace by King Yi on a whim, and they have not really been pampered, they are still innocent girls, and King Yi is not good at delaying these women all the time, so he asked the Jingshifang to count the concubines who have not slept and sent them out of the palace.

Of course, it is not given for free, it has to be subsidized, so Yiwang gave everyone a large sum of silver, enough for them to have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of their lives.

When she heard the news, Lu Yingquan was embroidering the dragon that she had changed into a python, and only the tail part could be embroidered.

"Why was you so careless and hurt your finger?" Yun Yao shook her head helplessly, then helped her wipe the blood on her fingers, and smeared some medicine before saying, "He is really paving the way for you." ”

"I know. Lu Yingquan suddenly had the illusion of wanting to cry, "I really didn't expect that the holy decree he said was actually this." ”

"Actually, you can see the signs from before. Yun Yao said, "Do you remember what He Meiren did in the harem in order to create panic among Han Meiren? Since we know that everything is He Meiren's idea, the concubines who were demoted within a month may have been wronged, but His Royal Highness did not let people investigate thoroughly, but just expelled them or sent them to the cold palace." ”

In other words, Shen Che actually had this kind of plan before.

The harem is too complicated, and there are many disputes, Empress Dowager Jiang crawled out of these deceitful conspiracies in the past, and if she wants to save her life and keep her children, how many people's blood does she have to be contaminated to get the result?

Therefore, Shen Che can be regarded as witnessing how his mother survives in that treacherous court. There are not many concubines in the harem of the first emperor, but there are also a lot, at least Shen Che himself is ranked seventh, and there are four brothers and three sisters on top of his head, as for the brothers and sisters younger than him, he vaguely remembers a lot.

But later, there were fewer and fewer people in the palace, and fewer and fewer survived, and those underage princes and princesses, together with their mother concubines, had already died in Huangquan, until Shen Ze ascended the throne, divided the Seven Kingdoms, and counted a few uncles, so he barely managed to get together the monarchs of the Seven Kingdoms.

It is precisely because of this that Shen Che does not want Lu Yingquan to be immersed in such a plan for the rest of his life. Even if Yun Yao has a plan by her side, it is a conspiracy all day long, and the whole person will be very unhappy.

"He treated me very well, but he took pity on the sisters who were framed by the Homei. Lu Yingquan sighed.

"Originally, I also thought they were pitiful, but later Yuanbao's father-in-law told me that those concubines were secretly sent away by His Royal Highness, although they were not as good as the batch sent away on the surface, but they still changed their faces and had already settled outside the palace. Yun Yao said, "Originally, His Highness didn't want to tell you, but I accidentally revealed them. ”

"Thank you, Yun Yao. Lu Yingquan smiled lightly, "By the way, did you find all the things you asked Achen to look for before?" Seeing that it was His Royal Highness's birthday, although that letter was a cover-up, it couldn't be sloppy in front of the Queen Mother. ”

"Don't worry, it's already ready. Yun Yao nodded, "Just wait for His Highness's birthday to release everything." ”

"That's good. Lu Yingquan suddenly relaxed.

During this time, Lu Yingquan was also peaceful, and there was no detoxification and conditioning for a while, so Yun Yao gave her acupuncture again. She embroiders and makes clothes in the hall every day, Yun Yao is holding a book and reading on the side, Shen Che doesn't see anyone during the day, but she always comes to rest at night.

The invitation to the Queen Mother is to go every day as usual, and the other concubines are also there, and Mrs. Han is close to the water, so she is naturally also present. But according to Yun Yao, Lu Yingquan only chatted with Mrs. Han a little in front of the Queen Mother and other concubines, and never went to lock Chuntai at other times, let alone see Mrs. Han alone.

Compared with being said to be pampered and arrogant, the crime of murdering the emperor's heir will be greater, and compared with the two, Yingquan will be relieved. Pampered and arrogant, pampered and arrogant, at least she is really favored, compared to those who look at it, I don't know too much.

Soon it was Shen Che's birthday.

Empress Dowager Jiang and Shen Che both advocate simplicity, and the palace has not been repaired in time, let alone extravagantly to celebrate her birthday. However, the palace banquet is still required, which is equivalent to a family sitting together for a meal.

The Queen Mother handed over this matter to Jiang Yi for arrangement, and it only took a day to arrange it properly, and it can be seen that Jiang Yi is very capable.

This also let Yun Yao know that Jiang Yi is now in the harem, not because she has no strength to make a move, but because she has the protection of Empress Dowager Jiang, she doesn't need to do it herself. She only needs to obey Empress Dowager Jiang's arrangement, and when the others are defeated, she can just sit back and reap the profits.

No one deliberately made Shen Che unhappy, so the atmosphere at the banquet was also happy, the Queen Mother and Shen Che sat on the top, the Queen Mother sat on the right hand side of the pregnant Mrs. Han, sitting alone at a table, Shen Che on the left hand side is Mrs. Jiang and Mrs. Liu, on the right hand side of the Queen Mother and then down Mrs. Yao and Lu Yingquan, followed by He Meiren and Yao Meiren, and finally Chen Liang and Zhu Liangren on the right hand.

Except for those who died before, those who were demoted or expelled for crimes, and those who were pardoned and released from the palace by the holy decree, all the concubines in the entire Yiwang Palace were here, and they were counted on ten fingers.

Yun Yao has always been silent on such a lively occasion, and she is doing everything she is waiting for. Whether it was helping Yingquan pour wine or helping Yingquan get up, she didn't do that kind of face-revealing thing. Because she doesn't want to be noticed.

But she overlooked the fact that in the crowd, too high-profile and too silent are two extremes, and they will also attract attention.

Wushuang, who was standing beside the Queen Mother, swept his eyes over her several times, doubting in his heart, but he remained silent. In fact, Wushuang remembered this little palace maid, by the well of the cold palace.

At that time, Lu Meiren was still just Lu Liangren, and she was still dormant in the Linglong Pavilion in a remote corner, never appearing, and she was inconspicuous. The palace is still calm, although there are open and secret battles, but there are not so many turmoil.

But on that day, a palace maid named Ning Lan died in the Linglong Pavilion, everyone in the palace was there, Yun Yao first explained the cause of Ning Lan's death, and then made Shen Che open his mouth to admit the matter, so that the Queen Mother gave up the investigation.

That is, from that day on, Shen Che began to favor Lu Yingquan, and Lu Yingquan also emerged step by step in this palace, I don't know how many killings he has gone through, and he has come to the point where he is outstanding in the harem.

Wushuang vaguely remembered the way Yun Yao looked when she spoke, neither humble nor arrogant, her expression was indifferent, and there was determination and persistence in her eyes, and it was precisely because of this that no one suspected that she was lying. But there was only one time, and after that, Yun Yao seemed to have gathered all her edges, turning herself into an ordinary little palace maid, accompanying Lu Yingquan and being silent.

Through observation, she found that every time she accompanied Lu Meiren to Suochuntai to serve tea and ask for peace, it stands to reason that Yun Yao is Lu Yingquan's most powerful assistant, but the palace maid in charge of Linglong Pavilion is Sisi, dealing with people outside, and human relations are also done by Sisi.

This is really a strange phenomenon, coupled with Yun Yao's low-key deep in her bones, and her seemingly imperceptible presence hidden in the crowd, let her stay by Lu Yingquan's side so safely without being discovered by others.

Wushuang didn't know why she wanted to pay attention to a little palace maid, she just felt that she was very accurate in seeing people, and many times the temperament shown by Lu Yingquan was not like a person who could plan so many things.

Yun Yao seemed to feel that someone was staring at her, and her eyes came from the high platform, and the approximate direction was the side of the Queen Mother. But she can't turn her head to look, if she wants to shape herself as a transparent person, she can't make eye contact with anyone, especially the people around the Queen Mother, otherwise she will leak her bottom.

She had already experienced this as early as when she was in Ning Palace. In the past, when she interrogated Xiangqin in Chuxiu Palace, she inadvertently raised her head and saw the mysterious gaze in Aunt Jinxiu's eyes, and then she fell deeper and deeper in this gaze, struggling and sinking in the deep palace, as if she had no chance to get ahead in her life.

Now, she doesn't want to repeat the mistakes of the past.

Fortunately, the banquet ended soon, and Shen Che probably knew that Yingquan would do a full set of plays and would definitely perform at his birthday banquet, so he left the banquet early, pulled Yingquan and left.

The night sky outside is very bright, and the stars are scattered one by one, which is a different scenery.

For Shen Che's departure, it really stirred up a thousand waves, originally those concubines were very well-behaved at the banquet, and it was also for the sake of being able to pull Shen Che to themselves after this meal, but they didn't expect that they were cut off by Lu Yingquan before they could do anything.

The Queen Mother seemed to have remembered something, and then said: "Wushuang, I heard that Lu Meiren prepared a birthday gift for Che'er, let's go and have a look." ”

"Yes. Wushuang nodded, stretched out his hand to support the Queen Mother, and walked outside.

That's great!

The concubines couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in their hearts, they were worried that they couldn't find a chance to leave the table and follow, and now that the queen mother had spoken, it could be regarded as giving them a psychological comfort, so they got up one by one and walked outside with the maidservants.

However, they didn't dare to get too close, and they followed behind Lu Yingquan and Shen Che not far away, and came to the stone steps next to the square at the entrance of the Guangming Hall together, and stood still.

Because everyone looked up at the sky in the direction of Lu Yingquan's finger, and after a while, a beautiful lantern floated over from the direction of Linglong Pavilion, and there were words on the lantern, which was illuminated by the candle flame inside, and it was seen clearly.
