Liang Huanqing knew that when Concubine Mei was planning the New Year's Eve feast, there must have been many people coming and going, including many palace concubines.

She is still not sure what kind of person the person who helps Lu Huiling is. She is thinking about how to ask more appropriately so that Aunt Yun Xi can think of that person in an instant.

This matter is very important. There is currently no evidence that can accuse Lu Huiling. Xiaolian is dead, and the aunt on duty was also killed and dumped her body. Lu Huiling did everything impeccably. It is not enough to find the person, but he also needs to know the other person.

What kind of connection did you have with Lu Huiling that could make Lu Huiling trust that person so much and make that person willing to do things for Lu Huiling?

"When Concubine Mei was planning the feast and hunting, did anyone offer any constructive suggestions?" It took a long time for Liang Huanqing to ask such a question. Her eyes were serious and solemn. She stared at Yun Xi intently, eager to

I know what Yun Xi will say next.

Yun Xi was a little stunned. She didn't understand why Princess Jing asked this, but considering that Princess Jing was so frightened during today's hunting, and the arrow was about to hit her heart, she must want to know.

It's the truth.

Yun Xi didn't have time to think so much. She felt that someone might have deliberately framed Concubine Mei and made Concubine Mei look embarrassed. On such an important occasion, Concubine Mei would not be allowed to step down. The first thing Yun Xi thought of was the battle in the palace.

But in the blink of an eye, I thought, if it were a fight between palace concubines, who would take such a big risk? Ruining the state banquet and endangering the life of the princess would be a serious crime that would punish the nine clans.

When I thought about it later, it was possible that, as some people said, spies from other countries deliberately wanted to destroy the Celestial Banquet. The purpose was not Liang Huanqing, but they probably wanted to do something amidst the chaos.

But Yun Xi didn't have time to think about this. Concubine Mei was unconscious, and the princess and the princess still needed her to take care of her. She had no time to think about it.

"Yes...it's me." Yun Xi's mind went blank. She only remembered that she brought up the hunting issue. Although she didn't know why Princess Jing asked that question or what the consequences would be, she still answered truthfully.

"No! It can't be you!" Liang Huanqing said categorically. The person she asked was Lu Huiling's minion and the person who worked for Lu Huiling. Without this person, Lu Huiling would not have been able to complete this matter.

.

Another characteristic of this person is that there must be some benefit that only Lu Huiling can provide, or there must be some leverage in Lu Huiling's hands.

There is no time now to carefully clarify Lu Huiling's social circle in the palace. Lu Huiling is favored in the palace. Naturally, many people are fawning over Lu Huiling, but the person who helps Lu Huiling will definitely not

Let people know that she has been to Minghua Hall. If Concubine Mei knows that this person has been to Minghua Hall to curry favor with Lu Huiling, she will definitely not trust her.

It must not be Yun Xi. It is impossible for Yun Xi to do such a thing. She is with Concubine Mei all the time and has no chance to contact Lu Huiling. Especially during these busy days, Concubine Mei cannot do without Yun Xi.

Even if Yun Xi had the intention, she would not have the chance to do this.

Furthermore, according to Yun Xi's level of loyalty to Concubine Mei, if Lu Huiling told Yun Xi about this matter and Yun Xi turned around and told Concubine Mei, Lu Huiling would not take the risk.

"Director of the Ministry of Internal Affairs?" Yun Xi was startled by Liang Huanqing, and she quickly thought of someone and spoke out.

"No...it's too obvious." This was still not the answer Liang Huanqing wanted.

There is a great possibility that the Head of the House of Internal Affairs will do this kind of thing, but he can't interfere with Concubine Mei's thoughts. Besides, the one who still has something to do with today's feast is the Head of the House of Internal Affairs.

Lu Huiling was punished a few days ago, and the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs was also fined his salary. He will definitely not help Lu Huiling anymore. Besides, this is a gimmick deal, and no one will agree to it.

The person who helped Lu Huiling must have a reason why he had to help.

Yun Xi pondered for a while. She thought about it carefully. Concubine Mei was worried about the feast game earlier. She mentioned hunting to Concubine Mei. Hunting allows everyone to participate and is relatively entertaining. For safety, it is also

Little rabbits were placed in advance for everyone to shoot arrows.

But now it has developed into shooting people with flat-headed arrows...

"Zhi Guiren!" Yun Xi suddenly thought of Zhi Guiren and exclaimed in shock, "It's Zhi Guiren! She was the one who raised the issue of shooting people with flat-headed arrows to Mei Guifei!"

Everyone seemed to see hope. They looked at each other and asked in unison: "Who is Mr. Zhi?"

Yun Xi shook her head and said: "She was a concubine who entered the palace a few years ago. Empress Mingxian had just been buried at that time. During the draft, the emperor felt that her lips looked very much like Empress Mingxian, so he selected her into the harem.

She was granted the title of noble concubine. However, the noble concubine Zhi was neither a quarrel nor a quarrel. Her family background was average, and the emperor was not very interested in her. Originally, if she had come to talk to the concubine earlier, or... followed the other concubines, life would have been easier.

a little…"

Hearing what Yun Xi said, it seems that Mr. Zhi agrees with the non-competitive, non-competitive and lukewarm temperament. With such a non-competitive and non-competitive temperament, he can win Concubine Mei's trust as long as he finds a reason.

"What happened next?!" Liang Huanqing lowered his head and pondered, and Qin Ruilan asked quickly.

Yun Xi looked at Qin Ruilan, wondering why they asked so detailed questions about the harem, but after all, they were all good friends of Her Highness the Princess, and she had a very good impression of them, so she told the truth.

"Later, Concubine Mei was worrying about the feast, and she was too busy to spend money. At this moment, Concubine Ming was rising to heaven again. Many concubines in the palace were trying to fawn over her, but Concubine Zhe was the only one who came.

Seeing that the imperial concubine helped organize the New Year's Eve feast, she also proposed the game system of shooting people with flat-headed arrows." Yun Xi frowned as she spoke, feeling full of regret in her heart. Concubine Mei should not have been allowed to agree to Guiren Zhi's idea in the first place.

If this proposal had been known earlier, there would not have been so much trouble now.

"Did the noble concubine believe it?" Qin Ruilan was a little surprised.

It stands to reason that Concubine Mei could climb from a little noble to her current position. Although they cannot empathize with her, they all know that it is not easy.

To reach this position, Concubine Mei has gone through many things that are unbearable for ordinary people. Moreover, Empress Mingxian had not passed away several years ago, but Concubine Mei could still share the emperor's favor with her equally. How could it be possible now?

How about trusting a strange concubine easily?

Yun Xi shook her head and said: "No, Ms. Zhi is gentle and does not fight or snatch. She will not accept willow branches thrown away by anyone in the palace. Even the Ming Concubine once intended to let her go to Minghua.

Even when sitting in the hall, she refused because she was sick. Even under such circumstances, she still came to talk to Concubine Mei every day, and there was nothing strange about her..."

It's no wonder. In the eyes of everyone, Gui Ren has a docile temperament. If Liang Huanqing and the others hadn't known in advance that Lu Huiling did this, they wouldn't have thought that Gui Rui was Lu Huiling's minion.

But how could such a noble man like Zhi, who had been so non-competitive since he entered the palace, agree to help Lu Huiling do something that would kill the nine tribes?

Liang Huanqing couldn't figure it out, and Qin Ruilan couldn't figure it out either, but now they have to know the secret behind Zhi Guiren to make it possible for Lu Huiling to reveal her true colors.

But now it is impossible to see Mr. Zhi in person to ask clearly what is hidden behind this. If Mr. Zhi can agree to Lu Huiling, only Lu Huiling can help Mr. Zhi get something that he desperately wants.

, it is not as superficial as glory and wealth, nor is it the favor of the Holy One...

What could that be?

Yun Xi is now also a little worried that Gui Zhi has harmed Concubine Mei, but she doesn't know why. Does Gui Zhi have the courage to make such a big move?

"Has anything big happened to the Zhigui family recently?" Liang Huanqing suddenly asked.

Liang Huanqing didn't deliberately ask Yun Xi, because she knew that the harem was not allowed to interfere in politics, and the noble Lord Zhi had no desires in the palace for so many years. If he suddenly wanted to do something like this, it must have been something wrong with the family, and Lu Huiling's family was in a high position and had a high position.

As long as Lu Gaohong is willing, he can cover the sky with one hand. Lu Huiling can give him whatever he wants, but the only thing he can do is to listen to Lu Huiling.

What Lu Huiling likes is Zhi Gui's temperament of having no desires and demands, and not fighting or grabbing.

As for Liang Huanqing, who lived in the palace and did not engage in political affairs, he naturally did not even know who Guizhi's mother's family was. However, most of the people who entered the palace for the draft were court officials.

Yun Xi naturally didn't know this. She shook her head blankly and looked at Liang Huanqing. She didn't know what they were doing, but she could clearly feel that they were trying to find out the truth behind this matter. As Yun Xi,

After so many years as a palace maid, she naturally knows what to ask and what not to ask. If they don't tell them, she won't take the initiative to find out.

Qin Ruilan, Yue Bai, and Xiao'er also shook their heads. They had been in the boudoir for so long, so naturally they didn't know what happened in the court. Like Liang Huanqing, they didn't know who Gui's mother's family was.

At this time, Wei Shen, who had been silent for a long time, seemed to have thought of something. He looked at Aunt Yun Xi and asked, "May I ask what your real name is?"

"Yin Zhe is the only daughter of Lord Yin Qianhu of the original fifth rank." Yun Xi said in detail.

"Fifth-grade Yin Qianhu was imprisoned with dozens of officials a month ago for allegedly embezzling frontline grain and fodder money. Then the emperor ordered Prime Minister Lu to investigate the matter personally. Yin Qianhu was just an accomplice and did not embezzle grain and fodder money. Later,

He was dismissed and sent back to his hometown in Jingzhou." Wei Shen said with a solemn expression, word for word.
