Chapter 087: Make a Deal
Shen Che is also a smart person after all, and after listening to Yun Yao's words, he knows what Yun Yao is thinking.
Empress Dowager Qin's killers are uncontrollable, when these killers will come, and in what way they will appear, they don't know anything, so it takes a lot of energy to guard against these killers. But if Empress Dowager Qin wanted to take advantage of the dispute between Jiang Yi and Lu Yingquan to get rid of Lu Yingquan, it would be much simpler.
After all, Yiwang Palace is still under Shen Che's control, whether Jiang Yi wins this dispute, or whether Lu Yingquan has the advantage, is also under Shen Che's manipulation. In this way, Lu Yingquan and Yun Yao's danger will be much smaller.
Thinking of this, Shen Che walked outside, released the pigeon, and watched the white pigeon go towards the capital thousands of miles away.
And Yun Yao looked at the white dove that was gradually flying away, and suddenly frowned, as if she was very confused. But after a moment, she couldn't help but chuckle as if she remembered something.
Yun Yao saw that Shen Che had no intention of leaving Linglong Pavilion, so she instructed Xiaozhi to prepare lunch and let Shen Che eat in Linglong Pavilion.
Lu Yingquan was still in a coma, and there was no sign of waking up. Yun Yao took out the token that Shen Che gave to Lu Yingquan in the past, walked in front of Shen Che, and said:
"Your Highness, I'm going to go to He Meiren now and borrow His Highness's token to use. ”
"How do you need this king's cooperation?" Shen Che remembered Yun Yao's words last night, saying that he hoped that he would cooperate, so he asked.
"Your Highness has sent people to surround the Green Garden, and anyone who tries to get out of the Green Garden must be arrested. Yun Yao thought for a while and said, "I will let Ah Chen also stare in the dark, and ask His Highness's people not to stop him." ”
When Shen Che heard Yun Yao mention Achen, he remembered the master who appeared in the main hall of Suochuntai last night, his swordsmanship was fluent, and he had killed many assassins, so he was puzzled: "This Achen, this king remembers, he is Gu Qingming's right-hand man, and he is the most powerful assistant." Unexpectedly, Gu Qingming was willing to send him to your side to be a mere secret guard. ”
"What Your Highness said is that General Gu treats me very well. Yun Yao said, and called Ah Chen out of the shadows and saluted Shen Che to say goodbye.
In fact, Gu Chen's stay in Yiwang Palace was unruly. Moreover, Yun Yao's identity is just a palace maid, but a palace maid actually has a strong secret guard, which is not in line with the rules.
But Shen Che didn't seem to mind, because he knew that this was an extraordinary time, and as the king of Yiguo, he couldn't make too many moves, and he had to rely on Gu Qingming to help him train his troops, and Yun Yao to help him maneuver in the palace, so he could only let Ah Chen stay in the palace.
What's more, Achen can indeed solve urgent needs when they need it most. This time the killer attacked, if it weren't for Achen's presence, Lu Yingquan's injuries would probably be even more serious.
"Even if you go to Luwuyuan, the guards of the forbidden army in the palace will cooperate with you. Shen Che said, and then went out to make arrangements.
Yun Yao gave Achen another order, and then took the token in his hand and walked towards Luwu Garden. With the mobilization of the forbidden army, it soon set off an uproar in the palace, and it didn't take long for the Queen Mother to know about it.
"This Yun Yao, what does she want to do?" The Queen Mother couldn't help but be a little angry, "Could it be that just because Yi'er pushed Lu Yingquan, she is going to attack Yi'er?" ”
The Queen Mother was angry, and someone reported that Yun Yao did not go to Mrs. Jiang, but went to Luwuyuan. Wushuang hurriedly reassured, "Do you remember what His Royal Highness said before? He Meiren is another detail of the Empress Dowager Qin, and Yun Yao is looking for He Meiren." ”
"Does she want to cooperate with He Meiren and tell the Empress Dowager Qin everything about the Yiwang Palace?" Empress Dowager Jiang guessed, "You must not let this happen, you quickly send someone to keep an eye on it, as long as they have any changes, take it immediately." ”
Hearing this, Wushuang nodded, and said, "Please rest assured that the queen mother will send someone immediately." However, the slave maid felt that Yun Yao's move would definitely not be a betrayal of His Royal Highness, after all, she and Lu Meiren had betrayed the Empress Dowager Qin before, and now they were against the water again, I am afraid that even the Empress Dowager Qin would not tolerate them. ”
"Yun Yao's mind is unpredictable, so he has to guard against it. Empress Dowager Jiang said, "Let's go." ”
Wushuang nodded, and immediately took people to Luwuyuan.
But when she arrived, the main gate and side gate of the Green Warrior Garden had been guarded by the forbidden army, and it was said that no one could enter on the orders of His Royal Highness.
Although Wushuang was very puzzled, she was not in a hurry, and took someone to stay not far from the Green Garden, waiting for Yun Yao to come out of it.
At this time, Yun Yao, alone, with Shen Che's token, entered the Green Garden. She had never been to this place before, so she asked a little palace maid to lead the way, and soon found He Meiren in the inner hall.
"Miss Yun Yao is really a rare guest, why did you think of coming to me today?" He Meiren asked with a smile.
"He Meiren, I came today on the orders of His Highness, and I have something I want to ask you. Yun Yao said, then took out the token in his sleeve and shook it in front of He Meiren.
"On the orders of His Royal Highness?" Seeing this, He Meiren couldn't help but smile, "Yun Yao, are you already planning to cut me?" about the assassin last night, you and I both know in our hearts who sent it, but you and Lu Yingquan defected to King Yi and betrayed the Queen Mother, so you want to get rid of me for fear that I will pass on the news to the Ning Palace again. Isn't that right?"
"He Meiren is really smart. Yun Yao chuckled, "You and I are both meticulous workers, and we also know how uncomfortable it is to be a meticulous worker, and that kind of trembling days are walking on thin ice." Those killers last night were a wake-up call for me. I know that it was you who told the Empress Dowager Qin about Madam Yao, so she suspected us and sent a killer to kill us, so I won't give you any more chances. ”
He Meiren glanced at Yun Yao deeply, and her eyes changed for a moment, but she turned around and disappeared. She thought that Yun Yao had never seen the uneasiness in her eyes, but what she didn't expect was that Yun Yao had been paying attention to the changes in her expression.
After a long time, He Mei spoke: "Yun Yao, I think we still have room for discussion, why don't we sit down and talk slowly, how about it?"
"What's the leeway?" Yun Yao asked.
"You and Lu Yingquan can betray the Empress Dowager Qin and switch to the Ming Lord, why can't I?" He Meiren chuckled, "I exchanged some information about the Empress Dowager Qin for my own life, what do you think of this deal?"
"Can be considered. Yun Yao pondered for a moment, and then said, "However, it also depends on whether your information is valuable or not." ”
"Since it can be considered, it is still negotiable. When He Meiren heard this, she was overjoyed, and quickly turned her head and instructed Xiaomei, "Xiaomei, what are you still doing in a daze? Why don't you go make tea soon? I and Miss Yunyao have important matters to discuss." ”
When He Meiren said this, he also gave Xiaomei a look. Xiaomei understood the meaning, so he quickly blessed his body and went out.
Yun Yao watched Xiaomei leave silently, and didn't seem to notice anything unusual.
"He Meiren can start talking. Yun Yao took advantage of the fact that there were only two of them in the hall, so she asked, "You have been following the Empress Dowager Qin for a long time, so you should know a lot of things." Say it, it's not a loss to exchange your life. But you have to remember that my time in the Ning Palace is not too short, you had better tell the truth, otherwise I can't guarantee that Your Highness will be able to give you a way to live. ”
"That's natural, and since you decide to say it, you must be telling the truth. He Meiren nodded, then got up, walked over to her dresser, opened one of the drawers, and took out a brocade box from it.
Yun Yao watched as He Meiren held the brocade box in front of her and took out a wooden token from it. The token is engraved with a ring-shaped phoenix Luan buckle, that is, the phoenix, the phoenix, and the three birds are connected at the end to form a ring, and in the middle of the ring, there is a "Min" word engraved.
And the word "Min" is the name of the Empress Dowager Qin.
"When you were sent out to be a fine worker, the Empress Dowager Qin probably didn't tell you that the fine works recognized each other's identity tokens, right?" He Meiren pushed the token in front of Yun Yao and said, "This Phoenix Luan token is a token. The person who owns this token is the confidant of the Empress Dowager Qin, and if she encounters any difficulties, she can ask someone with the same identity for help as evidence. ”
Yun Yao listened to He Meiren's words and was shocked in her heart.
When she left Ning Palace at that time, she didn't get such a token, on the contrary, she had seen this token on Tingxue's body. At that time, she thought that this token was prepared by the Empress Dowager Qin for a maid like Tingxue who knew martial arts, but she didn't expect that it was actually prepared for details.
And in the same way, Lu Yingquan didn't have this token in his hand, otherwise Yingquan would have told her a long time ago. In other words, she and Yingquan didn't really have the trust of the Empress Dowager Qin at all, they were just the kind of chess pieces that could be killed after they were used.
Empress Dowager Qin basically planned to let them cover the real fine work, if their identity is discovered, then the real fine work can continue to lurk, complete the task, and can also retrieve their identity with the token in the future.
So it is speculated that Ning Lan should have such a token on his body to prove his identity. It's a pity that she didn't know about it at the time, she killed Ning Lan too hastily, and she didn't seriously search Ning Lan's room, so she missed this token.
"I'm different from you, you are the Empress Dowager Qin's selection from the palace maids, and you were sent directly from the Ning Palace to the various feudal kingdoms. You don't know much about the detailed organization of the Empress Dowager Qin. But I was raised by the Empress Dowager Qin since childhood, and the sisters in the same batch as me, who performed outstandingly, were also sent to various countries, and I can still name them......"
He Meiren said as she spoke, and she also said the names of several women, no more, no less, exactly six, except for He Meiren himself in Yiwang Palace, the remaining six are estimated to go to the other six feudal countries.
Yun Yao listened to He Meiren's words, and couldn't help but bow her head and think, and thousands of thoughts flashed through her mind in an instant. But before she could lift her head, she felt her neck tighten.
When she raised her eyes again, she saw that He Meiren had already grabbed her neck, gradually exerting force, and a hideous smile appeared on her face.
"He Meiren, even if it is ...... If you kill me, you won't be able to escape!" Yun Yao's neck was choked, she couldn't breathe a little, and her face turned red in an instant, but she still struggled to speak.
