The winter is bitterly cold, and it is not yet time for the spring flowers to bloom, and the cold wind is still raging between the heavens and the earth, and it is cold to the bone.

But compared to the Ning Palace in the far north, the Yiwang Palace in the south does not seem to be so cold and unbearable. Especially for Yun Yao, she had tasted the freezing bones of the Ning Palace, and now even a little warmth was enough to make her grateful to Dade.

She was afraid of the cold, whether she knelt in the snow for two hours, or was locked in a water prison for three whole days with only single clothes, she finally broke her muscles and bones. So every winter, she wraps herself in the ground like a ball, and she doesn't go out if she can.

This time, it was also stained with Yingquan's injured light, she could take care of Yingquan in the Linglong Pavilion openly, and not go anywhere, leaving everything outside to Sisi.

In the blink of an eye, a month has passed, Lu Yingquan's injury has almost healed, and he can basically walk on the ground, except that his body bones are still a little weak, basically there is no major problem.

And Mrs. Jiang's ban was also revoked after this month, restoring her freedom.

Yiwang Palace, which has been quiet for a month, has become lively again because of this. It is not so much lively as the smoke of gunpowder, and the breath of war spreads out layer by layer over the palace of King Yi.

In the Linglong Pavilion, after finishing Lu Yingquan's makeup, Yun Yao took a cloak and put it on Yingquan, so as not to let her catch a cold. After everything is packed up, I am ready to go out.

"Sisi, have you inquired clearly, are you sure that everything is fine?" Yun Yao asked Sisi before going out, as if she was confirming something.

"Miss Yun, our silver is not for nothing, we have inquired clearly, and we can't be wrong. Besides, even if it is a mistake, with Aunt Wushuang's temper, it is no wonder. Silk nodded and said.

Hearing this, Yun Yao was relieved, accompanied Lu Yingquan out of the door, and walked towards Suochun Terrace.

It was already late February, and the snow in winter had already melted, and on the road outside, palace people could be seen everywhere holding clean cloths to wipe the remaining snow water, so that no master would fall down because of the slippery ground when passing by on the road.

Lu Yingquan did not choose to take a sedan chair, but walked all the way with Yun Yao, and then took Xiao Mozi and the other two rough girls.

She did this, firstly, to express her respect for the Queen Mother, and did not want the Queen Mother to feel that she was pampered and arrogant, and secondly, to be able to walk more, after all, in the month of recuperation, she had been lying in bed for too long, and her body was lazy.

"Say hello to Lu Meiren. The palace maid who swept the water on the side of the road saw Lu Yingquan and hurriedly saluted.

Lu Yingquan said goodbye, then turned to Yun Yao and said, "Do you remember, when we were in the Ning Palace, we often did this kind of work. Several years have passed, and now when I see them, I always feel like I am in a different world. ”

"Of course I do. Yun Yao chuckled, "And I'm most glad that we're both alive." The wish written down when we participated in the audition in Chuxiu Palace actually supported us all the way to the present. ”

"Yun Yao, don't worry, we will live for a long, long time. Lu Yingquan chuckled, and then as if he remembered something, he asked, "By the way, what is the matter you asked Sisi to inquire about, and what does it have to do with Aunt Wushuang?"

"Do you remember the whistleblower letter that Yao Meng forced me to write in prison?" Yun Yao asked without answering.

"Remember, but hasn't it been a long time? Why did you suddenly bring it up again?" Lu Yingquan was very puzzled.

"When Yao Meng told me that everything was done by Mrs. Jiang, I knew that Mrs. Jiang should not be underestimated, so I used her handwriting when I wrote superstitions. Yun Yao explained, "In the past few months, the whistleblower letter has been pinched in the hands of Aunt Wushuang, she is a strict person, and she will not give up until she understands what is going on." Now, too, it's time to use that letter. ”

"Do you want to use that letter to bring up the old matter again and take the opportunity to bring down Mrs. Jiang?" Lu Yingquan asked, "Wouldn't this be too risky?"

"It's true to bring up the old things, and it's true to take risks, but it's a little difficult to bring down Mrs. Jiang with such a mere letter. Hearing this, Yun Yao shook her head, "My trick is called hitting the grass and startling the snake, although it is not fatal, it is enough for Mrs. Jiang to go down according to the road I paved, and the rest, let's see the move." ”

Lu Yingquan listened to Yun Yao's words, and couldn't help but chuckle and shook his head: "You always have a lot of ideas, I know that you have never been an aggressive person, and this time you will directly attack Mrs. Jiang, also for the sake of my injury." No matter what you do, I have only one request for you, don't take the bait and put yourself in it. ”

"Don't worry, I'm ......" Yun Yao was about to say something, but saw Mrs. Jiang and Yao Meiren coming towards her, so she quickly stopped talking and didn't continue.

Lu Yingquan and Jiang Yi, one recuperating from injuries and the other grounded, met again after a month, and they seemed to have reined in their edges, greeting each other with a smile, and their sisters and sisters greeted each other, as if there had never been any suspicions in the past.

"Madame, please. At the end, Lu Yingquan stretched out his hand and humbly let Jiang Yi enter Suochun Terrace first, followed by himself, and put Yao Shuang at the back.

In fact, Lu Yingquan is also smart, at least she knows how to advance and retreat. Humility to Jiang Yi is because Jiang Yi's position is above her and she can't cross the rules, and putting Yao Shuang in the back is because she is more favored than Yao Shuang and has a certain amount of capital to enjoy the treatment she deserves.

What's more, although she didn't know what Yun Yao's specific plan was, she had to cooperate with Yun Yao and couldn't let Jiang Yi see any flaws.

Entering the main hall of Suochuntai, Empress Dowager Jiang was already sitting at the top end, and there were fewer and fewer people in the palace.

"The concubine asked the Queen Mother to say goodbye, and the Queen Mother was auspicious. ”

Mrs. Jiang, Mrs. Han, Yao Meiren and Lu Meiren stood together in the hall, their postures were neat and uniform, and they saluted.

The Queen Mother saw Jiang Yi who was released, and Lu Yingquan, who was recovering from her injuries, nodded slightly, and then said: "Lu Meiren's injuries are just healing, so it is not appropriate to stand for a long time. ”

"Thank you, Queen Mother. Everyone thanked him, and then, according to their ranks, they sat down in their seats.

At this time, Shen Che walked in from outside, walked directly to Lu Yingquan's side without squinting, and said, "You are just in good health, why don't you wear more clothes to come out?" ”

While speaking, Shen Che pulled Lu Yingquan towards the high platform above, and when he passed by Mrs. Jiang's side, Lu Yingquan also deliberately turned his head and smiled at Jiang Yi.

The smile didn't mean anything else, neither ostentatious nor provocative, just a simple smile. But in Jiang Yi's eyes, it has become Lu Yingquan's strong sarcasm for her.

Originally, according to the grade, Mrs. Han and Jiang Yi sat on the left and right chairs at the head, followed by Yao Shuang and Lu Yingquan. Lu Yingquan's seat was indeed closer to the door, but it was not windy, because Lu Yingquan and Jiang Yi's seats were not very far apart.

But Shen Che only cared about Lu Yingquan, and didn't even ask Jiang Yi to ask, which was obviously not taking Jiang Yi in his eyes, which made Jiang Yi angry, and Lu Yingquan's dazzling smile made Jiang Yi even more angry.

Of course, Yun Yao saw Jiang Yi's expression in her eyes, a sneer flashed in her heart, and she said in her heart: "So you're angry?

At the end, Yun Yao gathered her mind, followed Lu Yingquan to the top, stood behind Lu Yingquan and Shen Che, watched Shen Che and Lu Yingquan sit together, and looked at the resentful expressions on the faces of the people below, instead of worrying as before, she felt that this was a good thing.

Empress Dowager Jiang didn't know what to say, after all, she knew in her heart that Jiang Yi did have to bear most of the responsibility for Lu Yingquan's injury, so she could only turn a blind eye, and then ordered Wushuang beside her: "Let's serve tea." ”

Wushuang received the order and ordered the palace maid to serve tea. Several palace maids rushed in, handed the teacup to the personal palace maids beside several little masters, and the personal palace maids put the teacups on the table next to them, and two of them came towards the top.

One of the palace maids served tea to Shen Che and Lu Yingquan, and the other palace maid, who was low-eyed and pleasing to the eyes, held the teacup and handed it to Wushuang, asking Wushuang to hand it over to the Queen Mother.

But at this time, I don't know how this palace maid did it, while Wushuang was still holding it firmly, a cup of hot tea was poured on Wushuang's arm, and the entire cuffs of Aunt Wushuang were wet in an instant.

Fortunately, it was winter, and Wushuang's clothes were thick, and they only wet their sleeves and didn't burn their skin.

"The slave deserves to die, the slave deserves to die, please forgive Aunt Wushuang. The palace maid who served tea saw that she had made a mistake, so she knelt down in a hurry and pleaded guilty.

The Queen Mother on the side was furious: "You can't even do such a trivial thing, what are you doing in Suochuntai?" ”

"The slave obeys. The little palace maid trembled and agreed, and then hurriedly cleaned up the broken teacups on the ground, and ran outside with the tray.

At this time, Aunt Wushuang's expression became nervous, and she reached into her cuffs, as if she was holding something.

Seeing this, Lu Yingquan remembered what Yun Yao said, so he opened his mouth and asked, "Aunt Wushuang has been burned?" Yun Yao made some scalding medicine by herself, which is very effective, I will send someone to send it to my aunt immediately. ”

"Thanks to Lu Meiren, the slave was not injured. Wushuang said, and then took out the secret letter that had become wet from his sleeve, held it in his hand, and his face was a little ugly.

The Queen Mother was sitting next to her, and naturally when she saw this thing, she asked, "What is this?"

"The whistleblower letter submitted by Mrs. Yao earlier said that it was written by Yun Yao herself, saying that Lu Meiren was the letter that was made carefully. Wushuang replied truthfully, "Queen Mother, the slave maid has been studying for many months, and she has always been a blank piece of paper, but she didn't expect to be wet with tea, and there was actually handwriting visible." ”

When everyone in the temple heard Wushuang's words, their thoughts were different. Especially Jiang Yi, the joy in her eyes couldn't be suppressed, she didn't expect God to help her, last time Yao Meng failed to use the secret letter to bring down Lu Yingquan, this time he actually gave her this opportunity.
