Nightfall.

At the small side door of Wutong Palace, a thin eunuch looked around and ran out under the moonlight.

Soon he appeared at Fang Xiuyuan's Tinglan Garden.

"Come on, sit down." Yao Xiang waved his hand casually.

The young eunuch looked up at this moment, and it turned out to be Chu Yun in disguise.

"I have already eliminated Yang according to Xiuyuan's instructions, but... isn't she the Grand Concubine's person?"

"It's okay. I've already told my aunt about this. Yang is not a good person. People who can be bought with money are usually unreliable. She knows a lot. It's better for her to die."

The indifference in his tone made people feel cold.

In Yao Xiang's mouth, it seemed that the death of Yang was just like the death of an ant.

Seeing Chu Yun was a little dazed, Yao Xiang said, "Why, you can't bear it? Think about your parents and brother, their lives, who will feel sad for you."

Having said this, Chu Yun’s eyes darkened.

In fact, Chu Yun’s original surname was Tao, and his original name was Tao Chuyun. His father was the county magistrate of Qi’an County, Lanzhou.

When Lanzhou was hit by a snowstorm, his father did his job diligently and rescuing the people, and did not collude with other local officials. Later, Ning Chen rectified Lanzhou and sent officials from Beijing to replace many local officials. Because his father handled the disaster properly, he was not dismissed and was even praised.

But the Empress's family, the Xie family, in order to allow their relatives to have a share of Lanzhou's pie, managed to kill his father at the hands of bandits, allowing one of their own family members to take the position of Qi'an County Magistrate.

The Tao family lost its backbone, and the elderly grandmother died of excessive grief after seeing her son die.

Her mother was already in poor health, and was forced to step up and manage the family. She sent away the two concubines in the mansion and took her and her brother back to their hometown.

But my father was an honest man during his lifetime and did not leave much money. My mother had to take medicine every day, and our savings were soon spent.

At this time, his younger brother also fell ill. The family had no money to treat him, and the money from selling the old house was soon spent. In the end, he fell ill and died.

Her mother was heartbroken and borrowed some money to take her to live with her grandparents.

However, their grandparents had passed away, and their uncle and aunt did not accept them, so they ended up living on the streets. Their mother was frail and passed away soon after.

A good family, but she is the only one left.

It happened that the palace was selecting maids at that time. In order to save her life and to seek an opportunity for revenge, she entered the palace under an assumed name.

Although she was not from a high-class family, she was a daughter of an official family. She was literate, knew the rules and etiquette, and was pretty, so she was assigned a good job.

Later, Yao Xiang arranged for people to find him, and the two got in touch.

They all wanted to overthrow the queen, so naturally they hit it off.

"Think it over carefully. If you want to stop here, I won't force you." Yao Xiang said calmly.

Although she said this, she was absolutely sure that the woman in front of her would not give up.

As expected, Chu Yun immediately raised her head and said, "Think it through. This slave and the Xie family have an irreconcilable feud. Since the Xie family's prosperity depends on the queen, this slave must destroy their prosperity!"

Yao Xiang lowered his eyes, a faint sneer appearing on his lips.

"In this case, if the queen wants to fall into the abyss, you have to give her a good push from the side."

"She has been persuaded to take advantage of Wan Meiren's fetus and then frame Ming Shunyi, but there is no chance yet." Chu Yun said.

Yao Xiang looked out the window and saw the moonlight was just right.

He retracted his gaze and said, "We must hold a banquet for the Mid-Autumn Festival. The Queen is in charge of all affairs. Isn't this a good opportunity? We can use the Queen to overthrow Ming Shunyi and Wan Meiren. When the time is right, we can overthrow the Queen. It's more interesting to kill three birds with one stone than to kill two with one stone."

"Xiuyuan is smart. I will take note of this." Chu Yun lowered her eyes.

Yao Xiang smiled and said, "Don't call me a slave all the time. If it weren't for the Xie family, you would be a daughter of an official family."

"Since I have chosen this path and entered the palace, I will remain a slave. As long as I do not avenge my family, I will remain a slave."

Chu Yun stood up and bowed solemnly.

"No matter what, I will definitely remember Fang Xiuyuan's kindness."

Even though it was obvious that Yao and she were getting what they wanted, she had to admit that if Yao hadn't spent money to make arrangements for her and told her about the Queen's temperament and preferences, she wouldn't have been able to become a maid serving the Queen so quickly.

After Chu Yun left, Zi Zhu said, "Xiu Yuan, can we trust her?"

"Don't use people you doubt. The lives of the Tao family are enough to make her do many things to vent her anger." Yao Xiang curled her lips, and a trace of determination flashed in her eyes. "Go to bed, it's getting late."

Zizhu nodded, helped her master lie down, turned around and turned off the only light in the room.

A few days later, when I paid my respects to the Queen, she indeed mentioned the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet.

This year we will celebrate it in the garden, so it won't be a grand celebration. We will just invite the royal family members to the palace to celebrate together.

After all, the palace banquet on New Year's Eve last year was very grand. No matter how wealthy Nanqi was, it was only more than half a year after the war ended, so it could not be too extravagant.

After returning to Jiaotang Garden, Ye Jun chatted with the maids.

"I really need to be frugal. I had previously guessed that I might not be able to see my mother during this Mid-Autumn Festival. Now that I have a conclusion, I don't have to look forward to it every day."

"Shunyi misses Madam, so he can ask the emperor to invite Madam to sit in the garden. I heard that Concubine Qi's mother will come in to see her in two days." Huiyue said.

Ye Jun shook her head, "My family has been to the palace many times, there is no need to be so ostentatious. How come I don't know what happened to Lady Qi?"

At this moment Kong Qing hurriedly replied.

"I just found out about it today. It was Grand Tutor Qi who begged the Emperor, saying that Lady Qi's mother missed her daughter very much. She had been having trouble sleeping in the past two days and wanted to come to the palace to see her. Since my niece-in-law begged him, I couldn't help but speak up for Zhang."

"So that's how it is." Ye Jun understood and narrowed his eyes, "But I'm afraid that meeting you is not just about missing you."

Concubine Wan, who entered the palace with Qi, is pregnant. The two of them have always been equally favored, so her family must be worried.

Otherwise it would be too coincidental.

But these are just guesses. What if he really wants a daughter

Anyway, it has nothing to do with her right now.

"You did a great job. You have to keep an eye on all the things going on outside, no matter how big or small. I can choose not to interfere, but I have to know."

Ye Jun collected his thoughts, smiled and praised Kong Qing.

"Yes, I will be more careful." Kong Qing was also happy.

It's a good thing to be recognized by the master.

After entering the house, he changed into casual clothes. Not long after he sat down, he heard the sound of kneeling outside.

Ye Jun had no choice but to get up and go out again.

Just then, I saw Ning Chen striding in.

"I pay my respects to His Majesty."

The ceremony was just halfway done when the man reached out and lifted her up.

"No thanks, it's hot outside, let's go inside and talk, I'm too hot from the sun all the way here."
