"Your Majesty, I am unjustly accused. I don't know who is saying bad things about you behind my back. It's just that I have arranged the matters at hand before I went to Hairpin Pavilion and chatted with Aunt Wu for a while. Aunt Wu, I and Zhu
They all come from the same village, slaves..."
"alright."
Hearing the word Zhu'er mentioned by Princess Yuan, Yi Fang frowned in displeasure. He placed the jade cup heavily and made a crisp sound on the stone table. The wine in the cup slowly followed the liquid on the jade cup.
The water soaked out, and the water droplets rolled down in a straight line and fell to the ground. The pavilion was suddenly filled with the refreshing aroma of wine.
Yi Fang breathed out a sigh of relief, her eyes filled with apologies and sadness. Zhu'er was a nightmare that she couldn't wash away for a long time. Although she tried her best, she still lost a life, just like a flower.
The young girl just disappeared into other people's conspiracy against her. It is not that Yifang does not blame himself and feel guilty.
So when he heard that Palace Lady Yuan used Pearl to protect herself, Yi Fang felt unspeakable anger in his heart. How could such an innocent and kind girl have such a cruel aunt of the same race? Or was it because Palace Lady Yuan was in this place?
He was soaked in the palace for so long that he lost his nature.
More confusion arose in Yifang's heart. Will she become such a person at any time? In order to achieve her goals, she can give up and use even blood relatives and friendship cultivated since childhood. Then,
Living like this, is it a human being or a zombie?
"Empress,..."
A soft call brought Yi Fang out of her thoughts. She looked up and saw the hint of reminder in Cui Er's puzzled eyes. She smiled bitterly. She seemed to be becoming more and more sentimental recently.
Yifang gave Cui'er a reassuring look, calmed down, wiped his wine-soaked palms with the embroidered handkerchief that Cui'er handed over, looked at the shivering Palace Maid Yuan on the ground, and said slowly without any tone: "
You don’t have to cry out for injustice. I don’t mean anything else by what I said today. It’s your job, and naturally it’s still yours. I just want to tell you that in this palace, you are a slave and you must abide by the rules.
The duty of a slave is not to keep risking your life just to get unstable money."
Princess Yuan trembled violently and did not dare to raise her head, but she did not argue any more.
Yifang smiled with satisfaction, and an embroidered handkerchief landed lightly on the head of Princess Yuan. Looking at the pure white color of the embroidered handkerchief, Princess Yuan seemed to have seen the white flag that sent her to her death. Her legs softened, and her face turned green and white.
, the whole person seemed to be full of energy.
"Okay, let's get down."
Hearing that Yifang had finally granted amnesty, Palace Lady Yuan was so frightened that she became confused. She stiffened her body and tried several times, but could not stand up. Cui'er saw this, gave her a hand, and sent her a few steps away.
, then returned to the pavilion.
"Mother, why..."
Cui'er looked around and found that there were guards everywhere. She hesitated to speak.
But Yifang smiled, held the wine bottle in his jade hand, and placed it on the small stove in the middle of the stone table. A few rose petals floated by in the autumn wind accompanied by the fragrance. Yifang smiled and flicked his fingers gently, letting them fly.
More gorgeous.
"If you have something to say, just say it."
At this time, she needs to reveal at least half of her truth in front of Xia Jie, so many times, many things, many people say, it is better not to be smart and whisper, even if she is not in Longyang Palace, Yifang does not think,
There are really things in this palace that can be completely hidden from Xia Jie. Especially after what happened with Concubine Zhen and the assassin, Xia Jie's desire to control the affairs of the palace has reached an almost crazy level. He cannot allow it.
A man who lets things escape him.
And now that Xia Jie has fallen in love with her, what he needs is another woman who can stand by his side and protect him, so letting him know his intentions and methods is not a bad thing. After all,
, Xia Jie knew better that in this palace, there are no pure good people and bad people, only who is a good person in someone's eyes and who is a good person in someone's heart.
Black and white can never be clearly distinguished.
"Your Majesty, Aunt Yuan obviously gave your daily meal recipe to Aunt Wu from Hairpin Pavilion, why don't you..." Cui'er has never been a talkative person, but this time, she was really too curious.
, what is the purpose of holding such a handle but not taking action?
"Why not just take her down and hold her accountable?"
Yifang's eyes fluttered wildly, and she held a small raccoon fan in her hand, fanning it at the edge of the fire. She smelled the increasingly strong aroma of wine in the air, put down the fan with satisfaction, and then said with a smile: "The concubines in the palace.
It is true that the food house is forbidden to spread to outsiders without permission. However, Hairpin Pavilion is where Mrs. Li lives. She gave Mrs. Li the meal recipes for this palace, which is not considered a rumor. Maybe Mrs. Li just wanted to take the food with me.
It's just the same medicinal diet. Although this can be regarded as Mrs. Li's overstepping her rank, it is not a big deal. Besides, who can be sure that this dietary recipe was not given to Aunt Wu privately by Princess Yuan. At that time, Bi
Outside Hairpin Pavilion, I saw someone reaching out to take the meal recipe, but there was only Aunt Wu, not Mrs. Li."
Yifang spoke in a very soft voice, maintaining her long-standing calm voice, which was tactful yet charming. She did not deliberately increase her volume, nor did she deliberately do anything to attract attention, trying to attract attention to what she was analyzing today.
, what he said was conveyed to Xia Jie’s ears by someone who was interested, she was not that stupid!
Being so obvious will only make Xia Jie suspicious of her, and instead ignore what Mrs. Li does. It's the same principle, the more you care, the less you can tolerate even the slightest imperfection.
So Yifang just spoke truthfully, but Yifang knew very well that Xia Jie would still know about this matter. Yuan Gongnu knelt down to plead guilty, which was visible to everyone, and could not escape Xia Jie's ears and eyes, and what she said
Although these words are soft, as long as the spy has martial arts, he can hear it clearly. And Yifang has always known that since the assassination, Xia Jie has been beside her and arranged more than one spy, maybe for surveillance, maybe
It's protection. In short, Yifang spied out the existence of the spy from an accidental reflection in the bronze mirror. At that time, Yifang already knew that the spy was also a double-sided sharp blade.
It restricted many of her actions, but also provided her with a weapon that made Xia Jie trust her more. What could make Xia Jie trust her more than the confidants sent by Xia Jie himself? Speaking from the mouth of his confidants
Come out, even if it is out of pride in his ability to control his subordinates, Xia Jie will not have the slightest doubt.
