Chapter 22: Entering the Cold Palace
Please answer this question: "Heh, don't you know anything yourself?" Check for yourself if there's anything missing. ”
Ye Scarlet raised her eyebrows at the green-clothed palace maid, which was exactly the reason.
The green-clothed palace maid gritted her teeth and glared at Ye Crimson fiercely, but she didn't speak, but the arrogance that came in at the beginning was reduced a lot.
"Let's check it quickly, we don't have much time, and we're still in a hurry to go to the cold palace." Please Ying rolled her eyes.
Now she really thinks that going to the cold palace is not a bad thing.
In the cold palace, no one should dare to embarrass Ye Crimson so blatantly.
The green-clothed palace maid still didn't give up after all, and said to the other palace maids: "You guys go and check to see if there is anything missing, after all, you know people and don't know your heart, check carefully." ”
With her order, the other palace maids scattered and rummaged around the house.
Ye Scarlet looked at it coldly, and a sneer rose at the corner of his mouth.
This method obviously does not mean the emperor's intentions, and it looks more like Qiao Wan'er's handiwork.
It seems that Qiao Wan'er has not completely gained a foothold in the palace, otherwise she would have taken her life directly by using the emperor's power, why bother making such a small action that cannot be put on the table.
In short, since Qiao Wan'er has not yet gained full trust in front of the emperor, she still has a chance to turn the tables.
Letting her go to the cold palace can be seen as a punishment for her, but as long as she does this errand well, this is also her chance.
She was thinking about it when a maid said, "One of my hairpins is missing." ”
"You still say that you didn't steal, open your baggage, we want to see." The green-clothed palace maid immediately became proud again.
Ye Scarlet laughed out loud for a moment.
These palace maids are still a little immature compared to the gangsters and hooligan murderers outside.
She looked at the green-clothed palace maid and said slowly: "The so-called catching traitors and catching doubles, catching thieves and getting dirty, I can check it for you, but I said ugly things in front, if we don't have the so-called hairpin you are looking for in our baggage, what should we say when the time comes?" ”
"As long as you check your baggage, you can prove your innocence, what else do you want?" The green-clothed palace maid said that she was about to come forward to grab the burden.
Please Ying was already angry, and as soon as she stretched out her hand, she pushed the green-clothed palace maid down and squatted on her ass.
"You can't say that, since you said that you lost the hairpin, what is the hairpin, when was the last time you wore it, who has seen it, and how to prove that this hairpin is yours, and finally you need to search the hairpin out of my baggage, so that it can be regarded as a stolen person."
Ye Crimson said unhurriedly.
Take this opportunity to see who is still helping the emperor needle her, lest people are in the dark and she is in the light, which is not good for her.
"How dare you push me! Wait until I tell Mama Li and see how she punishes you! The green-clothed palace maid got up from the ground and yelled at Ye Scarlet.
Hearing that the palace maid said that she was going to find Mama, she glanced at Ye Scarlet uneasily.
Ye Scarlet gave her a reassuring smile.
It's a good thing to have such a reason, this palace maid is not a master after all, and she just uses it to test the emperor's meaning.
After a while, a dignified-looking grandmother walked in.
The wicked woman in the green-clothed palace sued first: "Mama Li, this wild girl from outside doesn't understand the rules, not only does she not admit it when she steals something, but she also beats people, she really ignores the palace rules, please deal with it Mama Li!" ”
Mama Li looked at Ye Crimson with a cold face before asking in a deep voice, "Is what Yunyin said true?" ”
Ye Scarlet was still a man's bow, and explained respectfully: "Neither I nor I stole anything, and I really don't know much about the palace rules, but I think no matter what the rules are, they can't do without a rational word." When the girl said I stole something, at least tell me the details of what I lost and when. But she didn't say a word about it, and if I casually asked her to check my luggage, and she casually pointed to an item and said that she had lost it, I would not be at a loss. ”
Mama Li's gaze moved to Yunyin's body: "What she said is reasonable, what did you lose?" ”
Yunyin bit her lip, stepped forward to grab Mama Li, and whispered, "Mama Li, take a step to speak." ”
Seeing this, Ye Crimson frowned.
I'm afraid that I want to operate in the dark, and it's not good.
After a while, Mama Li frowned and raised her voice to Yunyin: "What does Yunyin girl mean by this, the facts are the facts, will it be different because of the different identities of the people?" ”
Hearing this, Ye Crimson hooked the corners of her mouth, it seems that this grandmother does not plan to stand with Yunyin, so it will be easy to do.
"Mama misunderstood." Yunyin said hurriedly.
But before Yunyin could continue to finish speaking, Mama interrupted her: "I didn't misunderstand anything, if Miss Yunyin really has a clear conscience, please tell me clearly what the lost thing looks like, when it was lost, and who last saw it." ”
Ye Crimson's smile became more obvious.
It seems that Qiao Wan'er is not as powerful as she imagined, so she can only buy goods like Yunyin, and Qiao Wan'er, a powerful person like Mama Li, can't handle it.
Yun Yin gritted her teeth and couldn't speak, so she could only hand her eyes to the other little palace maids.
The little palace maids looked at each other, and they didn't know what to do, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly froze.
Ye Scarlet didn't speak, quietly watching the performance of this group of people.
"Xu yes...... Maybe we misremembered. After a long time, Yun Yin said unconvinced, and after speaking, he didn't forget to glance at Ye Crimson fiercely.
"Don't joke about this kind of thing in the future, I'll remember it more clearly." Mama Li glanced at Yunyin unhappily, and her tone was extremely cold.
Ye Crimson was barely satisfied with this result.
Now that she has just entered the palace, it is not appropriate to show her edge, she will write down this loss for the time being, and talk about it later.
However, in order not to tell the truth, she still smiled and said to Mama Li: "Since Mama is here, then please be a witness and take a look at the things we brought into the palace, so that Miss Yunyin's memory will not be good in the future, then I can't tell." ”
As she spoke, she opened the burden on her hand and asked Mama Li to take a look.
In Yunyin's murderous gaze, Mama Li finished checking Ye Scarlet's luggage.
"If there is no problem, then I will leave for the cold palace, everyone...... There will be a period later. Ye Crimson's eyes swept over Yun Yin and the others with deep meaning.
She was sure that this group of people would not give up, and the next fight might be a life-or-death situation.
Under Mama Li's gaze, she and Yu Ying repacked their salutes and went to the cold palace.
The people in the cold palace were not difficult, and when they heard that she was assigned by the emperor to treat her illness, they took her and Yu Ying to their residence.
The accommodation conditions of the cold palace are naturally not as good as those of the imperial study, but fortunately, they are clean.
"It's also a wronged girl to live in this kind of place, but the girl will bear with it for the time being, and the adults will definitely find a way to pick the girl out as soon as possible."
Please Ying comforted Ye Crimson while tidying up the house.
Ye Scarlet picked up a wooden basin and planned to go outside to fetch water to clean up the house together.
When she heard the sound and turned around to see her movements, she hurriedly snatched the basin from her hand, and said dissatisfiedly: "Where can the girl do these chores, just leave them to me." ”
"Where can you do such a thing?" Ye Scarlet smiled and took the basin again, "Don't pay attention to it so much now, and besides, we will definitely be able to get out of here, but not by adults, but by ourselves, you know?" ”
After saying that, he turned around and walked out.
When they cleaned up the house, Qiao Wan'er also knew from Yunyin's mouth that they couldn't be framed.
Qiao Wan'er didn't blame Yunyin, with a gentle and generous smile on his face, he comforted Yunyin and said: "Sister Yunyin doesn't have to be discouraged, Ye Scarlet was originally a person who is used to sophistry, thank you for your grievances for me, this bracelet should be regarded as a thank you gift to my sister." ”
The words landed, and a jade bracelet was already on Yunyin's wrist.
Yun Yin's eyes flashed with undisguised love, and his mouth also expressed loyalty: "Sister Qiao, don't worry, I always have a chance to be angry for my sister when the little hoof is still in the palace, so many people die in the cold palace every year, and it is not surprising that the little hoof died in the cold palace." ”
Qiao Wan'er smiled and said nothing, which was a tacit acquiescence.
When night fell, Ye Scarlet and Please Ying finally cleaned up the house and lived in it.
There is a solemn atmosphere in the cold palace at night, and the branches swaying with the wind seem to add a cold atmosphere to the cold palace, and the whimpering sound seems to be the sound of the wind or the sound of people crying.
Please Ying shuddered involuntarily, looked at the thick dark night outside, and said: "This cold palace is really worthy of its name, it is summer, but it makes people feel cold to the bone." ”
Ye Scarlet didn't think there was anything, and analyzed: "It's not strange, I noticed on the way during the day, this place is not far from the lake, and the terrain is relative, in addition to the moisture brought by the wind from the lake, and the rain on weekdays is not easy to disperse and dry, and there is a well in the yard, dampness is inevitable, so people here are also sick." ”
It is also understandable that if the terrain is good, it should not be used as a cold palace.
Please Ying also felt confident in her heart when she listened to it, and looked at Ye Scarlet's eyes full of admiration: "The girl is really amazing, she knows everything." ”
As soon as she finished speaking, her expression immediately became serious, and she protected Ye Scarlet behind her, and whispered, "Someone!" ”
Ye Crimson was shocked.
In the middle of the night, who would break into the cold palace at night?
Could it be that Qiao Wan'er sent someone to assassinate her?
The two girls held their breath and looked at the door without blinking.
Please touch the soft sword at your waist and be ready to draw it at any time.
Because Ye Scarlet was the only one by her side, she didn't dare to leave.
With a gust of wind, a man dressed in black appeared at the door.
"Your Excellency." Please be the first to speak.
Yan Jifan?
Ye Fei's eyes widened, more surprised than when she learned that someone had broken in.
At this time, how could Yan Jifan, a foreign minister, appear in the cold palace!
"Looks like you're adapting well." Yan Jifan didn't walk in and looked at the cleaned house.
When he first knew that Ye Scarlet was sent to the cold palace by the emperor, he was worried that Ye Scarlet would not adapt well, so he looked for an opportunity to come.
It seems that he is overthinking.
Hearing his voice, Ye Scarlet came back to his senses, frowned and asked, "Why is the adult here?" What if someone finds out? ”
Yan Jifan looked puzzled: "You don't seem to be very happy to see this official here?" ”
He appeared here to support Ye Scarlet, isn't Ye Scarlet unhappy?
"This is the Cold Palace, the adults appear here late at night, if they are discovered by the palace people or the forbidden army, how can they explain it?" The clearer his brain was, the more scared Ye Crimson felt.
If Yan Jifan's traces were discovered, neither of them would live.
She hadn't seen that Yan Jifan was such an ignorant person before, was there any reason why she had to come?
She stared at Yan Jifan, waiting for Yan Jifan to say why she came here.
"Since this official can come in, naturally no one will find out." Yan Jifan didn't explain, there was only one sentence.
