Chapter 31: The Lotus Pond Tragedy

Zhou Yunyi thought about taking the remaining two lychees to Situ Rou for a while, and then leaving the last one for Lord Zhou, as for Zhou Shuai, he should not eat it if he lost weight.

Xiaocui took the lychee as if she had gotten the pearl of the night, the baby was very good, and she refused to eat it when she returned to the house, so she wrapped the lychee with her own handkerchief, and the lychee wrapped in ice cubes could be placed for a longer time.

Xiaocui happily took the lychee to the imperial dining room to find Wang Dascoop, wanting to give him the lychee.

Yang Mei was very happy when she saw Xiao Chenzi coming to his palace, thinking that Xiao Chengze was finally going to arrange for her to sleep.

"Say hello to Concubine Liang." Xiao Chenzi visited Yangmei according to the process.

Yangmei smiled like a flower, "What kind of wind is it today, blowing my father-in-law here!" ”

It must have been the emperor who asked me to sleep.

"Your Majesty instructed that the lychees paid tribute from the south be rewarded to each palace lady separately, and according to the position of the good concubine, you can get one."

The little eunuch who followed behind showed the lychee to the bayberry.

Yang Mei glanced at it, and her mind was not on the lychee at all, "Your Majesty only said that the lychee will be rewarded, and nothing else will be said." ”

"Your Majesty asked the slave to greet Concubine Liang's body." In order to deal with Concubine Liang, Xiao Chenzi had to make up a paragraph, and Xiao Chengze never mentioned her at all.

Even the lychees, Xiao Chengze wanted Zhou Yunyi to taste the delicious lychees, and he was embarrassed to open a small stove for Zhou Yunyi alone, so he took out a few and distributed them to Song Yueran and Yangmei.

"Then please trouble my father-in-law to go back and tell Your Majesty that my body has fully recovered." I'm ready to sleep!

"Concubine Liang, don't worry, the slave will definitely bring it."

Xiao Chenzi walked from top to bottom according to his position, and now he should go to Tongque Palace and send lychees to Song Yueran.

There aren't that many things going on in the Bronze Bird Palace.

After Song Yueran accepted the lychee, she sent Xiaochenzi away.

"Niangniang, this lychee is delicious, why don't you taste it quickly?" Xue'er brought the lychee to Song Yueran's eyes.

"A lychee, in the end, is just a fruit, and that's never what I wanted."

What I want from Song Yueran has always been a right.

……

Because Yangmei couldn't see Xiao Chengze, she had nothing to do all day, and went out for a walk when she was free.

It didn't matter if the bayberry was strolling, she happened to run into Xiao Cui walking towards the imperial dining room.

Yang Mei saw Xiao Cui holding a small burden in her hand, thinking that Xiao Cui had stolen something from the palace.

"Stop." Yangmei shouted.

Xiao Cui stopped, turned around and saw Yangmei.

"The slave maid greets the good concubine."

Yangmei used to know Xiaocui. "Which palace should I be, it turned out to be from the queen's palace."

Yang Mei pointed to Xiao Cui's hand and asked, "What are you holding in your hand?" ”

"This is the queen's reward for the slaves." Xiaocui did not bluntly say that she was holding a lychee in her hand.

When he was in Chifeng Palace just now, Xiao Chenzi said that Concubine Liang and Concubine Song could only get one lychee each, and now if he said that the queen mother rewarded her with one, it would definitely cause Concubine Liang's dissatisfaction.

"Nonsense, it must be that you have unclean hands and feet and stole things from the palace." Yang Mei said that she was about to snatch it.

Xiaocui was a little panicked and refused to let go, and Yangmei shook her hand to slap her.

After slapping Yangmei, she was still angry. "How dare you, a slave, disobey me."

"Someone is here to hold this little's hooves."

The two palace maids after Yangmei pressed Xiaocui one left and one right.

Redmi snatched the small package that Xiaolang held in his hand and opened it in front of Yangmei.

After Yangmei saw that it was a lychee wrapped inside, she was even more angry.

"Who are you? How dare you steal lychees? ”

Xiao Chengze rewarded himself with a lychee, and Zhou Yunyi rewarded his maid with a lychee, isn't this a deliberate provocation?

Xiaocui cried and begged, "Concubine Liang's life is spared, it was really given to me by the queen's mother, and the slave didn't steal it." ”

"Oh, it turned out to be a reward from the queen mother."

Yangmei deliberately dropped the lychee on the ground, and then stepped on it very deliberately and crushed it. The lychee was instantly crushed and splashed with juice.

"Oops, I was careless." Yangmei's tone was full of irony.

Coincidentally, Song Yueran also came out for a stroll with nothing to do, and happened to bump into this scene.

"Sister Liangfei, what are you doing here?" Song Yueran asked.

Yang Mei was arrogant, "It's nothing, it's just a lesson to disobedient slaves." ”

"If I'm not mistaken, she seems to be the palace maid in the queen's palace!"

"Yes, the palace maid is the palace maid, and it is natural for the concubine to teach the palace maid a lesson." I can't cure Zhou Yunyi, I can't cure you.

Song Yueran began to persuade Yangmei, "The slaves and maids are not sensible, so why should they be angry with themselves? Sister please calm her anger and let her go back, maybe the queen will look for her everywhere in a while. ”

Yang Mei said: "There are so many palace maids and eunuchs serving in the queen's palace, and she is not the only one. ”

"You can kneel right here."

Yangmei lifted the foot that stepped on the lychee just now, and a little palace maid immediately lay on the ground and wiped the soles of Yangmei's shoes with her clothes.

After wiping, Yangmei sighed, "It's boring." ”

Song Yueran looked at Yang Mei and then at Xiao Cui who was kneeling on the ground, and a trace of coldness crossed her eyes.

"If my sister is bored, why don't you go to the royal garden with me to enjoy the lotus flowers."

Yangmei had already gone to see lotus flowers a few days ago.

"What's so beautiful about the lotus flowers in that pond is like this today and tomorrow, it's always the same day after day, and nothing changes. After watching it once, I don't want to watch it a second time. ”

"If you want to see it, go see it yourself!"

Yang Mei rejected Song Yueran and left with her subordinates.

Song Yueran put on a kind look, "You don't have to kneel here, just do whatever you want." ”

"Thank you, Lady Niang." Xiao Cui got up from the ground and gave Song Yueran a salute.

Xiaocui was sad and lonely and walked back, originally wanted to bring the lychee to the imperial dining room to share with Wang Dascoop, but now that the lychee has been trampled, there is no need to go to the imperial dining room.

"You follow her behind, find the right time, and lead her to the lotus pond." Song Yueran gestured in front of her neck with her hand and made a gesture to wipe her neck.

Xue'er was really shocked by this order, and the task she was given in the past was at most to monitor and manipulate in the dark, but this time she was asked to kill.

"Slave maid ......" didn't dare to say two words, and was interrupted by Song Yueran before Xue'er could speak.

"If you don't want to die in the lotus pond, just do as I say."

"Yes." Cher didn't dare to kill, but she was more afraid of death.

After Song Yueran arranged everything, she went to visit Xiao Chengze, even if she knew that if she went, she would only eat until she was closed, but she still had to go, because only in this way could she create an alibi.

When Xiaocui dies when she turns around, Zhou Yunyi will definitely be heartbroken, plus Yangmei's idiot deliberately embarrassed Xiao Cui, 100% Zhou Yunyi will think that Xiaocui's death is related to Yangmei, and will seek justice for her.

Even if there is no evidence to confirm the crime, the grievances between the two people will only accumulate deeper.

So that he can sit back and enjoy it without much effort.

Song Yueran came to the outside of Xiao Chengze's study, and sure enough, she was stopped by Xiao Chenzi.

"The emperor is reviewing the folds, and it is inconvenient to meet guests now. What do you have to tell you? Please tell the slave, and the slave will help the mother convey it in time. ”

"I don't have anything important, that is, I came to visit Your Majesty today, since Your Majesty is busy, although the palace is not easy to disturb, it is better to let the palace wait outside the study, and when Your Majesty is busy and then summon."

Xiao Chenzi only thought that Song Yueran had a sense of crisis after seeing Yangmei enter the palace, so she especially ran to Xiao Chengze to brush up on her sense of existence.

"Then please feel free."

Song Yueran was at the door of the study, standing quietly face to face with Xiao Chenzi.

She wants to make sure she has the perfect alibi.

Xue'er's plan started very quickly, and after Xiao Cui walked a few steps, Xue'er caught up with Xiao Cui and got close, "Good sister, don't be sad." ”

"Thank you sister for your concern, although I know that sadness is futile, but I just can't control it."

"Sister, don't go this way. Concubine Liang may turn back from this road after a while. If you see that you have not listened to her command to kneel there, I am afraid that you will lose your temper again, and you will suffer another sin. ”

"You can take a detour from the Imperial Garden and then go back to the Red Phoenix Palace."

"Makes sense, thank you sister for reminding me."

Xiao Cui was scared when she thought of Yangmei's face. If she was really bumped into and didn't kneel obediently, I'm afraid it wouldn't be as simple as two slaps.

"I'll be with you! I just don't have anything to do. ”

Xiao Cui didn't notice the danger coming, and foolishly agreed that Xue'er wanted to go with her.

The two of them walked to the Imperial Garden and had to cross a small bridge before they could return to the Chifeng Palace.

Cui sat in front, and Cher walked one step behind her.

When Xiaocui walked to the middle of the bridge, Xue'er saw that there was no one around. Pushing her hard from behind, Cui lost her balance and fell into the water, plopping in the water and screaming for help.

"Help me, help me."

How could Cher save her? Let her live? Seeing that Xiao Cui couldn't sink for a while, Xue'er picked up two stones from the ground and stood on the bridge to smash them down.

The first piece missed, and the second piece was thrown down, and the second piece was impartial, and it happened to hit Xiao Cui's head, Xiao Cui suddenly lost her balance, and the whole person grunted and drowned in the water.

The bubbles on the surface of the water, one after another, until finally the surface of the water returned to calm, and there was no more waves.

Xue'er saw that it was almost there, and hurriedly ran away.

Xue'er, who killed for the first time, is now beating with a heartbeat, as if it is about to jump out of her mouth, and she can't calm down for a long time.

When Xue'er returned to the Tongque Palace, she locked herself in the house and refused to come out.

I rummaged through the cabinet and found a box of fast-acting heart-saving pills, and when I took it in my mouth, I didn't have time to pour water, so I swallowed it raw.

After taking the medicine, Xue'er put her hand on her chest and felt her heartbeat, which was still pounding and pounding, beating very strongly, without any tendency to slow down.

As soon as Xiao Chengze opened the door of the study after he was done, he saw Song Yueran standing outside.

"I've kept you waiting."

Song Yueran said very knowledgeably: "If you can see Your Majesty, the concubine is not in vain. ”

"It's a pity that I made an appointment with General Situ to discuss the matter, otherwise I would have had dinner with you." Xiao Chengze said.

"Naturally, we should put national affairs first."

"The concubine sends your majesty." Song Yueran's goal has been achieved, so naturally she won't dwell too much here.

Zhou Yunyi never noticed that there was a problem, every time Xiaocui went to meet Wang Dascoop, it was you and me, and they had to talk for a long time.
