, Chapter 15
Ye Qing was shocked and turned his head to look at the door of the hall. He saw Xiao Jue slowly walking into the hall with a playful and deep smile on his lips.
It seems that he did not let the servants of Zhaoyang Palace communicate.
"I will meet your Majesty." Ye Qing stood up and saluted Xiao Jue, feeling a little upset.
Xiao Jue's attitude towards Su Ruyi was a bit mysterious, and his attitude towards herself was even more inexplicable. She couldn't figure out what this guy was selling.
"The queen is not a gift." Xiao Jue looked at her, and his thin lips, which seemed to be smiling, seemed to be a little deeper in the curl: "You said just now, Concubine Su is harming you?"
Ye Qing's palm was covered with cold sweat. Madam Fang also knew how much Xiao Jue indulged Concubine Su on weekdays. He knew that something was wrong, so he replied to Ye Qing: "Report to Your Majesty, Empress..."
"Did I allow you to reply?" Xiao Jue raised his phoenix eyes, and his sharp eyes made Madam Fang tremble and knelt down in a hurry.
Ye Qing wanted to plead for Madam Fang, but Xiao Jue spoke first: "I have something to ask the queen, and the rest of the people are all retreating."
Zizhu and Madam Fang were both worried about Ye Qing, but she did not dare to disobey Xiao Jue, so she had to leave the hall with a worried look on her face.
Xiao Jue leaned on the back of the carved chair and raised his eyebrows to look at Ye Qing: "Tell me why Concubine Su harmed you."
Ye Qing pursed her lips. She thought it was too troublesome to apply in the palace, so she always had plain faces. Her moist lips were as light pink as peach petals, as if it was attracting people to pick them up. Xiao Jue unconsciously glanced at her twice, her eyes slightly deeper.
Ye Qing knew that with the wisdom of the dog emperor, it was impossible to get away with him, so he truthfully told what he found.
The teacup turned around in Xiao Jue's hand but didn't see him or a mouthful. There was a little more gloom in his eyebrows. When he looked up at Ye Qing again, he didn't know if it was Ye Qing's illusion, but she seemed to see some appreciation and surprise in his eyes, and a hint of hidden guilt.
"You are not as stupid as I think, but it's almost the same."
Ye Qing:...
She must have read it wrongly, so this guy didn't look guilty.
Xiao Jue supported his chin with one hand, and his sharp phoenix eyes were something she couldn't understand: "Who would be so stupid that he could get two poisons at a time?"
With just this sentence, Ye Qing concluded that Xiao Jue already knew that the person who broke into her bedroom that night was Gu Linyuan's man who poisoned her.
She glanced at the dog emperor, who could be called a "femme fatale", and suddenly felt that the dog emperor was so generous that his head was so green that he was calm.
The original queen and Gu Linyuan had no intersection at all. She didn't know if the dog emperor was putting a trap on her and just pretended to be stupid to save her life: "I don't understand Your Majesty's words."
Xiao Jue's expression became unfathomable again. Ye Qing was worried, but he said with great pain: "What did I say, the queen can understand?"
Ye Qing:...
She said silently: "I just want to find out who I am secretly poisoning me and who I want to harm me."
When Xiao Jue heard this, he smiled unsure: "Concubine Yang."
Ye Qing's pupils suddenly shrank.
Xiao Jue said again: "But Liu Xi's master has someone else."
Concubine Yang coveted the throne for a long time. Ye Qing had previously suspected Concubine Yang, but the technique was so secret that it was not as if Concubine Yang could do it. In light of Liu Xi's death in Yonghe Palace, she felt that it was more likely that Concubine Su was.
Xiao Jue's words made Ye Qing feel more and more strange. She asked: "Who is it?"
"King An."
Ye Qing's eyes widened in an instant.
This answer was really beyond her expectations, but after thinking about it, I found that everything became reasonable.
As an ancient romance novel, if there are not many male supporting roles around the heroine who will never end up with her, it will be simply unsatisfactory.
King An is another male supporting role in the original work. He is the younger brother of the old emperor and the uncle of the Dog Emperor. He holds heavy troops and wants to usurp the throne. He is fascinated by Su Ruyi's beauty.
In the original work, King An appeared after the male and female protagonists left the palace. Now it seems that she was afraid that she had encountered some supporting role plots that were not written in the original work. After all, King An definitely did not rely on one or two days to prepare for usurping the throne.
Concubine Yang wanted to kill her, but it was caused by King An's men, which means that Concubine Yang must have colluded with King An. And Liu Xi died in Yonghe Palace. Could it be that Su Ruyi was also the one of King An? Su Ruyi was afraid that Liu Xi would confess her, so she killed her?
Just guessing, Ye Qing was shocked.
When the dog emperor suddenly told her so many secrets, Ye Qing's hut was only left with creepy after he opened: "Why did Your Majesty suddenly tell me this?"
Xiao Jue stared at her for a while, and suddenly showed a pranky smile: "I can't bear to leave the queen."
Even though he knew he did it on purpose, Ye Qing still felt like he was hit by something.
This is what she said to him before.
It doesn't matter what he intended. What's important is that she knows who she really wants to deal with and guard against is, and she will no longer be as passive as before.
Ye Qing ordered people to keep watching the movements in the palace of Concubine Yang and Concubine Su. The servants thought she wanted to compete for favor, and they all were ready to take out their twelve points of ability to find out the news about the two palaces.
But what the people inquired about was about Xiao Jue, which made Ye Qing very big.
Xiao Jue went to Zhaoyang Palace again every now and then, and he didn't inform her every time. Once Zi Zhu was flirting with her about the night she served her for the first time. Xiao Jue went to Yonghe Palace, but she didn't even enter the door of the bedroom. She just asked the imperial doctor in the yard a few words and left. Ye Qing was still confused that Xiao Jue didn't rest in Yonghe Palace and did not return to Zhaode Palace that night. Where did she go? Unexpectedly, Xiao Jue suddenly appeared at the gate of the hall.
When Ye Qing faced Xiao Jue's expression of "It turned out that the queen had secretly inquired about my whereabouts", he was so embarrassed that he wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into it.
After suffering this for a while, Ye Qing finally heard useful news.
Yang Xiang went to the palace to ask for a meeting with Concubine Yang.
In the original work, Yang Xiang was a cunning guy. He relied on his elders of three dynasties and had a large group of disciples in the court. He always relied on his seniority and often stumbling to the dog emperor.
There is nothing good about this father and daughter getting together.
Yongning Palace.
When Yang Xiang walked into the hall, Concubine Yang was smashing all the vases and jade artifacts that could be smashed in the palace.
The palace maid and eunuch knelt all over the ground tremblingly, and no one dared to go forward to persuade her at this time.
"Why did you get such a big temper?" Yang Xiang was more than seven feet tall and wearing a first-class official Jiang Zi ward with a pine and crane pattern. His face was thin and his hair was white. He looked like an extremely strict elder, and his body was full of the majesty accumulated by his long-term presence.
"Father!" As soon as Yang Fei saw Yang Xiang, she stopped smashing things and burst into tears.
When Yang met Yang Fei, he just cried and didn't speak. He glanced at Yang Fei's great palace maid with a stern look: "What happened to the empress in the palace?"
He has been an official for decades, and his majesty is shocked even when the court officials see him, let alone a palace maid in the deep palace. The palace maid immediately said everything he knew: "The empress was slapped by the empress in front of the concubines a few days ago. Later, he asked the empress to argue, and His Majesty punished the empress for another half a year of confinement."
When Yang Xiang heard this, his face looked ugly and only ordered the palace people kneeling on the ground: "Go down."
When everyone stepped down, he shouted at Concubine Yang: "Damn it!"
After Yang Xiang yelled like this, Concubine Yang instantly cried even louder.
Yang Xiang said angrily: "You are so embarrassed to cry. You are the concubine and the queen. Even if they punish you, you will have to bear it!"
The grievances in Yang Fei could no longer be suppressed, and all of them surged out. She cried and shouted: "Then did you send your daughter to this deep palace just to make her be bullied? I lost my mother when I was seven years old. I know that after you left my mother, I didn't take me seriously..."
"Ba"
A crisp slap interrupted Yang Fei's words.
Yang Xiang looked at himself and slapped Concubine Yang in the face, and his eyes felt a little unbearable, but his tone still did not soften: "I have been spoiled by you so much in the past few years! Look at what you look like now! If the queen hadn't been a very cunning person, you might have died in this palace for many times!"
When Yang Fei heard him mention Ye Qing, she was instantly excited: "The queen is not scheming? I'm afraid that the one who hides the deepest in the entire palace is her! The slutty look in front of me before was all pretending! Even the bitch in Yonghe Palace was cleaned up by the queen and obedient!"
Yang Xiang said: "You also know that the most hatred now should be the queen and Concubine Su. Didn't you do a good job? When Concubine Su was favored by a knife, outsiders watched it, but the queen was embarrassing Concubine Su in various ways and had nothing to do with you. Now I have just changed the position of the queen and Concubine Su."
Concubine Yang gritted her teeth and said, "My daughter can't help but breathe! Ye Qing thought she was the queen and was really amazing. How dare she slap me in the face! I must let out such anger! Su Ruyi lost her favor and was nothing. Even if she died in this palace, no one would ask about it!"
At that moment, a light of inspiration flashed through Concubine Yang's mind, and she said excitedly: "Father, I thought of a way to eliminate Su Ruyi and overthrow the queen! Let's kill Su Ruyi and then blame the queen! Even if she is the queen, she will definitely not be able to do anything about the charge of killing the concubine!"
Yang Xiang shook his head: "The emperor suddenly proposed to Fengshan Mountain in the morning today. The two generals in my hands were demoted to Shuzhou. The deficit of repairing the rivers in Jiangnan fell on Ye Tingxiu's old man! The emperor's rapid rectification of the court was very intended to be a father. If you are in the palace, don't have to cause trouble. Let's wait and see what happens first."
This is his main purpose for entering the palace this time.
Yang Xiang still heard about the fact that Concubine Yang was confined. But not long after Concubine Yang was confined, two of his favorite disciples were dismissed by the emperor. After years of immersion in the court, Yang was extremely sensitive to such things.
He is a civil servant, but he has countless disciples, and the two generals in Yuzhou, Leizhou are also his people.
Because he had suppressed the emperor in both civil and military affairs, he had only dared to cover up the sky in the court for many years.
However, Xiao Jue has sent two generals under his command with a small mistake. Even if all the civil and military officials kneeled down and threatened, Xiao Jue ignored it and opened up to leave.
This is the most decisive and decisive method since the new emperor ascended the throne.
Yang Xiang felt a little confused.
"The emperor is not kind, so don't blame us for being unrighteous! King An before..." Concubine Yang's eyes became vicious.
"Shut up! Don't say these words again!" Yang Xiang shouted. He was cautious and did not say much about such major matters. He was not in his own territory.
Concubine Yang thought it was Yang Xiang who was afraid of the emperor's method and sneered: "When did my father be so timid in his work?"
Yang Xiang looked at his daughter with complicated eyes: "Sometimes, my father also wondered if it was wrong to send you into the palace."
Concubine Yang looked at the magnificent palace and laughed: "Father, remember, there is no other identity in this world that can be worthy of this palace except the queen!"
In the end, a conversation between Concubine Yang and his daughter ended unhappily.
After Yang Xiang left the palace, Concubine Yang asked his grand palace maid to call the inconspicuous palace maid from Yongning Palace to the palace.
Concubine Yang leaned lazily on the imperial concubine's couch, playing with her nails that had been coated with phoenix flower juice: "Go back and tell your master that I have agreed with his previous request."
The palace maid raised her head and found a public face that she could never find after hiding into the crowd. However, the curve of her mouth curled up was inexplicably a bit sinister: "Is this what Yang Fei means alone, or is it Yang Fei means Yang Xiang and Yang Xiang?"
Concubine Yang's face suddenly turned sinister, and she waved her hand and knocked over the teacup on the short table: "What do you mean by this palace? Your master is not happy?"
The palace maid said, "Empress, calm down, my master is naturally willing to cooperate with the empress."
Concubine Yang looked at the palace maid contemptuously: "Liu Xi is dead. Do your master have other informants in this palace?"
The palace maid smiled softly: "This is not a matter of worrying about the empress."
Concubine Yang said with a ferocious face: "The □□ in Ye Qing will have to last for another three or five years before it will take place. The fine work of Zhaoyang Palace was removed, so I don't have that much patience. I want Su Ruyi to die. As for the murderer, it is naturally our virtuous and dignified queen."
