Concubine Yue had a cold face and said angrily: "From now on, he will be dumb and deaf. No matter what those bastard servants say or do, he will pretend to be deaf and dumb and let them do whatever they want! Am I satisfied?"

"I beg you really have that kind of tolerance, and he will be relieved!" Aunt Zhu sighed, "Let me calm down for a while. It's obviously not what it used to be, and my family really can't afford the trouble." "

When she said that, she looked lonely and no longer as vigorous as usual. Concubine Yue was full of resentment and couldn't help but ask, "Is it possible that there were changes in the previous dynasty?"

If Aunt Zhu didn't mean to tell her in detail, she said calmly: "I'm doing well in the palace, I don't need to worry about anything else."

Concubine Yue suddenly had a long face and said angrily: "Tiantian said he didn't know how to care about his family. Does he want to care about it? It turns out that he said he didn't want him to worry about it!"

Aunt Zhu was about to speak when a palace official came in with a pale face and said that Concubine Xin and the Yungui people, together with a large number of people, had already arrived at the door and said that they had the Queen's Leg Order and were waiting to search the palace!

"What?!" Aunt Zhu's face changed, and Concubine Yue shouted in disbelief, "Search the palace!? Why does Ji Lingzi have it!?"

The palace man said cautiously: "No... Say no because the Yungui people dreamed that Xinqing's soul came to our Ningbi Palace last morning, and I think there are some clues there."

"Can such nonsense be believed? In those years when the Ji family..." Concubine Yue was interrupted by Aunt Zhu in the middle of her words, her eyes were heavy and she said: "Since we reject the Queen's leg order, then of course we must obey Yi's order."

Concubine Yue glared at her: "No! Don't let them search!"

"Concubine Xin brought a lot of people here." The palace servant timidly reminded, "Many people brought sticks and stuff..."

Aunt Zhu sneered: "Do you hear me clearly? If we didn't just let people come in and search, it would be fine. Even if something is found, I am still a concubine, and there is always room for excuse! Then please don't If you say no, then what happened to Jie Dong Lai Bu Sheng? Concubine Xin can only push a few scapegoats to take the blame. Let’s not talk about it later, but we will definitely suffer the consequences in person! The slave girl and those people are not slaves, and they will suffer The humiliation doesn’t matter, I’m sure I can bear it?”

Seeing that Concubine Yue wouldn't shut up, she sighed and asked the people in the palace to say, "Tell the Didong people to follow Concubine Xin and don't give them a chance to talk nonsense."

After thinking about it for a while and feeling uneasy, he asked Yun Fenghuang if he had ever entered Ningbi Hall in the past two months.

The palace man went to say: "No, I just walked back a few steps, and it happened that Sister Qingdie went out with something to give to the crowd."

"Xiaoyunshi has not been in the palace for a long time, so she probably doesn't have the ability to stretch her legs into the Ningbi Palace." Aunt Zhu muttered, "Don't be careful, the queen will never make a mistake just because of Xiaoyunshi's so-called If you have nightmares and come to search the palace, there is a good chance that you will have some hindrances."

Not only did she think so, but Concubine Xin also thought so, so she didn't ask anyone to prepare any legs to frame her in advance. Just look around in circles and find nothing!

"What's the matter?" Concubine Xin was drinking tea in the front hall with her confidants. She frowned when she heard this, glanced at Yun Fenghuang in the east of the hall, and said softly, "I'll ask her, what's going on? "

Yun Fenghuang was not sure what kind of medicine Queen Ji was selling in her gourd, so she changed her mind and asked the palace maid: "With such a big thing happening in Huzhu Palace, will Bidong and the empress dowager be able to come over?"

"His Majesty was visiting the Imperial Concubine in the Yanlan Palace yesterday." The palace maid didn't know why, and said casually, "I don't think I have time to care about that matter for a while. As for the loving mother, the Empress Dowager, I think the Empress will send someone to inform me. "

Since the Empress didn't agree to that matter, then even if she didn't say anything, she would still find a way to hold off Empress Dowager Yuan

That's why the palace maid urged Yun Fenghuang, "If you, noble man, know anything, it would be better if you tell me as soon as possible! If those two people are free, I'm afraid that the big issue will turn into a trivial matter."

Yun Fenghuang pondered for a while, then asked in a low voice: "Has anyone from Ningbi Palace gone to report to those two just now?"

"We have already stopped you." The palace maid was a little impatient, "Mr. Yungui, this is a serious matter..."

"The relationship between Concubine Yue and Aunt Zhu." Yun Fenghuang said, "The people sent here by the loving mother Empress Dowager... are wrong. We might as well let two people go back to Chunwu Palace to report the news."

The palace maid frowned slightly: "What?"

Yun Fenghuang didn't explain either: "I'll go and report it to my mother-in-law."

The palace maid glanced at her suspiciously, and although she was a little unhappy, she did as she was told.

Concubine Xin, after hearing this, thought for a moment and then asked her to do as she was told.

"Your Majesty, is that true?" The palace maid went out to spread the word, but she still didn't know what was going on. When she returned to Concubine Xin, she asked quietly, "Although Madam Yaoning said that nothing was found in the Ningbi Palace, is it true? The corpses were destroyed and no traces were left, but it’s safer to find something.”

Otherwise, the empress dowager, a loving mother, and Emperor Chunjia would protect each other, and there would be nothing they could do against Concubine Yue.

Concubine Xin sighed and said: "Is it true that the Queen's actions tomorrow are aimed at Concubine Yue? I was deceived just now! It's no wonder that Xiao Yun's family fell in love with the middle palace within a few months of entering the palace. , Sure enough, she is very resourceful... The Queen suddenly had a sudden attack, so why don't we test the loving Queen Mother!"

The palace maid asked in surprise: "The empress dowager, the loving mother?"

"If this palace's prediction is correct, there will be another group of people waiting outside Chunhui Palace or even inside Chunhui Palace, waiting for the reaction of the loving mother Queen Mother after receiving the news of Huzhu Palace's request for help." Xin Xin. The concubine said in a low voice, "So if the Huzhu Palace has not found out the truth, the key is to make a noise so that the two backers of Concubine Yue can't leave... Of course, they can't leave, which just proves it." Something happened!"

Seeing that the palace maid seemed to understand, Concubine Xin waved her legs, but had no intention of explaining in detail, so she called her, "Yun Gui, please come and shut up with me. With that knowledge, coupled with the queen's promotion , I think there will be a place for her in the Moon Palace."

Then you should not treat her as a concubine who is inferior to yourself.

Concubine Xin relied on her family status, so she was indeed afraid of trouble, but she knew that Yun Fenghuang was coming soon, so she had no intention of making enemies with a noble air.

After all, although Yun Guiren had made many mistakes against Concubine Yue, he had not done anything to offend Concubine Xin so far.

Although there is some grudge between the two parties now, it is not serious after all, but it can certainly be resolved.

"Your majesty's knees are empty. It's rare for your concubine and sister to be happy." Concubine Xin asked the palace maid to invite Yun Fenghuang to sit down in the palace, and then she took the initiative to say, "I didn't expect that Xinqing's matter would involve me. Anyway, I'm doing well." , some people don’t have the energy to investigate thoroughly! But whether the imperial concubine’s sister is a twin, what if she doesn’t find out the truth quickly and let her keep thinking about it? However, those people on the east side of my legs are useless, and the thorough investigation has been carried out until now I don’t have an explanation, I’m afraid Concubine Yue, that bitchy maid, may come over and question me in person... Is Yungui the master of Xinqing, and is he not trusted by the empress? I don’t know what you think?”

"Whether Concubine Yue and the empress are of the same rank, but if the empress holds the order from the palace on her legs, can she come in person, so what?" Yun Fenghuang lowered his eyes and said, "Even if the empress dowager, the loving mother, comes later, I won't be able to come in person." Just go to the Empress Dowager together and ask the Empress Dowager to make the decision."

Concubine Xin asked thoughtfully: "Excuse me, my dear mother, the Queen Mother, is not here?"

"Didn't come?" Yun Fenghuang asked in surprise, "Why didn't you come? The empress dowager, the loving mother, has always been at ease, and she loves the concubine Yue the most. Please tell me if the emperor was not at the concubine's place, it would be fine if he came over at that time. .Since Your Majesty has to keep an eye on the Imperial Concubine, and can’t get away from it, and the empress dowager, the loving mother, doesn’t come, then Imperial Concubine Yue would be too pitiful, right? Then could it be that her direct aunt, knowing that Imperial Concubine Yue has always had a strong temper? , do you also want to come and comfort me?"

"..." Concubine Xin took a sip of tea and said, "What Yun Gui said makes sense."

Jie Donglai and the other two remained silent, and it was unclear whether they were being suppressed by Aunt Zhu, but Concubine Yue never came out to make trouble with them.

Time passed little by little, Emperor Chunjia did not come, and the empress dowager, the loving mother, was nowhere to be seen... At first, it was almost time to pass the lunch. No doubt Empress Ji sent someone to inquire about it, and she knew that there were no rooms in the Ningbi Palace. After finding some evidence, he asked: "Have you found it in the water? Did Xinqing find it in the lotus pond before?"

The visitor took a look at Yun Fenghuang and said, "When Yungui talents enter the palace, aren't they pushed into the pool?"

Concubine Xin suddenly realized it and went to ask: "Have I really been negligent? Come here, drain the pools in Ningbi Palace and check the bottom of the water thoroughly!"

That thing was done, and soon I found a bunch of moss-covered puppets in the mud of one of the ponds. After peeling off the moss, I saw that each one had a name written on the head, from Empress Ji to Concubine Zheng. From Concubine Yun Shu to Concubine Xin, Mrs. Yaoning, Ji Zhaoyuan, Jia Jieyu, Lu Jieyu... every one of the principal positions in the palace, except Concubine Yue, were all captured in one fell swoop!

Oh, there is a relatively new puppet. There is not much moss growing on it, and it is covered with a layer of greasy algae. It is clearly written "Yun Feng Huang".

All the puppets are neither pierced by needles nor carved by knives or burning with fire, which shows the resentment of the concubines.

Concubine Xin looked at it, feeling either elated or angry. Dangdong stood up. All the other ponds that had not been drained were covered with water. He called Yun Fenghuang and escorted Concubine Yue straight to Yanfu Palace!

"Those of us have been waiting for me to die for a day or two!" Concubine Yue was horrified when she saw those puppets, and refused to admit anything. The Baoyuan people knelt down in the east of Danqi with force, and screamed sadly shouted, "They colluded and used that method to frame me. Is it so strange?"

Empress Ji was not angry and said: "So if I don't admit it, does it mean I did it?"

"Of course not!" Concubine Yue flatly denied, "Although I am a bit impatient, I am not a lawless person. How could I do such a heartbreaking and crazy thing?!"

As she spoke, she looked at Concubine Xin and Yun Fenghuang fiercely, "There must be someone framing the situation, a thief and a thief!"

In fact, Concubine Yue doubted the Queen the most, but she also knew that she could not bring down the Queen, not even Concubine Xin, so even though she wanted to tear both Queen Ji and Concubine Xin into pieces, she could not restrain herself. Then he pointed the finger at Yun Fenghuang, "Mingyue Search Palace, Concubine Xin is leading the team. Although I and Concubine Xin don't have a good relationship, I know that Concubine Xin has always been arrogant, so she must not bother to do such things. Can we go together?" But that's not the case for Yun Fenghuang, that cheap maid..."

Empress Ji interrupted her and said: "The Yungui people have only been in the palace for a few months, but most of those puppets have deep moss marks... How can we deny what the Yungui people did?"

"But Yun Gui is the sister of Concubine Yun Shu." Concubine Yue's thoughts changed and she blurted out, "Who knows if she was ordered by Concubine Shu?! Could Concubine Shu be an old man who entered the palace right after Bidong's wedding? "
