Early the next morning, Yi Fangfei got up. She personally boiled a large bucket of hot water, took a shower and changed clothes, which took about two hours.
Then, wearing plain clothes and a simple ponytail scattered behind her shoulders, she slowly came to Xiaolan's mourning hall and bowed before her. She raised her eyes, her eyes clear and resolute.
"Xiaolan, today is your first day. Fangfei will definitely find your murderer for you, so that you can rest in peace under the Nine Springs."
Behind her, Bai Yudie looked worriedly at Yi Fangfei, whose back was completely blank.
"Fang Fei——" She couldn't help but call out softly, her warm eyes filled with water filled with a hint of sadness.
Yi Fangfei turned around and saw Bai Yudie, and she squeezed out a faint smile.
"Light."
With a soft voice, she walked towards her gracefully and hugged her gently. "Don't worry, I'll be back as soon as I go." She pulled away, patted Bai Yudie on the shoulder, and stepped out firmly.
Bai Yudie looked at Yi Fangfei in the distance. A glimmer of water gradually floated in her eyes, as blurry as the mist in the south of the Yangtze River.
Wearing plain clothes and ribbons, all alone.
Yi Fangfei appeared in front of the Nangong Gate of the Imperial City.
When the guard saw Yi Fangfei, he stepped forward and saluted and said, "My subordinates, please see Princess Rui."
"Get up, please, one of you, please go and inform the Queen for me that Princess Rui has come to the palace to visit her." Her expression was indifferent and calm.
Guard A whispered to Guard B for a few times, and then he saw Guard A hurrying towards the palace gate. About a quarter of the time of the incense stick, Guard A came back, followed by Eunuch Gao.
"It turns out that Princess Rui is here. The Queen has been thinking about you for a long time, but recently she was afraid that the Princess would have too many things to do, so she didn't dare to summon her. Today, the Princess is here, and the Queen is very happy. Why don't we send our family immediately?
We're here to pick up the princess." Eunuch Gao's high-pitched voice was a bit harsh.
Yi Fangfei just smiled lightly and didn't say much.
"Then I'll ask my father-in-law to lead the way."
Eunuch Gao nodded and led the way for her. They entered the Qianning Palace and came to the Queen. Just when Yi Fangfei was about to pay her respects, the Queen, already dressed in plain clothes, walked up to her with great demeanor.
Her eyes were full of joy, as if she was very happy to see Yi Fangfei. "Wanrou, I am really happy that you can come to see me. Come, let the Queen Mother have a look." She naturally pulled Yi Fangfei.
Fang Fei held her hand and looked at her with a smile: "Wanrou seems to have lost a lot of weight, but you should pay attention to your health. Regarding your girl, my mother has heard about it, so don't be too sad. Although the loyal girl is gone, it is a pity.
, but just find two more. If Wanrou doesn't dislike it, it will be fine to take two well-behaved girls from the queen mother." Regarding the death of the servant, it was said so lightly in her mouth that it made Yi Yi
Fangfei couldn't help but feel a little chilled.
But this is the harem, and these are the women in the harem. While Yi Fangfei was heartbroken, she also felt deeply sad for them. She couldn't help but take a deep look at Queen Yi Qingya.
That glance made the smile in the Queen's eyes become unnatural. "Wanrou, why are you looking at your mother like that?"
"It's nothing, I just feel that the Queen Mother has worked too hard, and there are actually silver threads on her temples." She reached out and pulled out a conspicuous silver thread in her temples, and gently placed it in the Queen's hand.
The queen sighed softly and said nothing, but a faint warmth rippled slightly in her narrow red phoenix eyes.
She handed the silver hair in her hand to the palace maid beside her. "Take it and find a place to put it."
The palace maid carefully took the hair and stepped back gently. "Yes, the Queen."
"By the way, Wanrou, when you enter the palace this time, please stay a few more days to chat with the queen, okay?" The queen took Yi Fangfei's hand and asked her to sit beside her.
Yi Fangfei slightly opened the corner of her mouth and said with a faint smile: "Mother, actually Wanrou came today because Little Lan had a dream last night."
"Oh?" The narrow red phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and the sharp light was hidden in the eyes.
"It's like this. She told Wanrou that her wish was not fulfilled and her resentment was too heavy. Her soul had not yet entered the underworld and could not be reincarnated. She could only wander around the lotus pond in Lengcui Palace. So she entrusted Wanrou with a dream and asked Wanrou to give her a dream.
She spent some money there so that she could clear the relationship. She also found a mage to save her so that her wandering soul could be reincarnated as a human being." Yi Fangfei said coldly.
The Empress stared with a smile and said: "It's rare for a master like you to miss this girl like her. As long as the Empress approves of you."
"That Rong Wanrou was rude and resigned. Wanrou wanted to go to Lengcui Palace to pay homage to her wandering soul and pray that she would leave as soon as possible so as not to disturb the tranquility of Lengcui Palace." Yi Fangfei bent her knees slightly and made a stroke with her sleeves.
road.
"Since that's the case, the Queen Mother will accompany you to see the girl off." Empress Danfeng's eyes flashed. "Cui'e, go and prepare things for worship. Follow me and Princess Rui to the cold place right away.
Jade Palace.”
"Mother, this is not appropriate. You are the queen. How can Xiaolan, a girl like her, stand up to the queen?" Yi Fangfei declined in panic.
The Queen Mother said, "What's wrong with this? The queen mother's Wanrou is thanks to her taking good care of her. Now the queen mother pays homage to her, which can be regarded as thanking her for taking care of Wanrou." She took Yi Fangfei's hand and said,
Patting the back of her hand gently.
After that, Yi Fangfei no longer refused, she smiled lightly and said: "So Wanrou, I would like to thank my mother for her grace on Xiaolan's behalf." She raised her eyes, and there seemed to be water in her eyes.
Lengcui Palace is located next to Hengwuyuan. It is where the lower-class maids live, such as the dressing room, the royal dining room, and the gardening room. On weekdays, the maids and eunuchs from each palace usually come and go, and they come to give orders to the concubines.
Regarding concubines' affairs, it is rare for empresses and concubines to come here.
However, Lengcui Palace was very lively today. Not to mention that the Queen came with Yi Fangfei, the Queen Mother, Concubine Liu, and Concubine Shu were all there.
Yi Fangfei's eyebrows flashed slightly, she stepped forward and said, "Wanrou pays homage to the Queen Mother, Concubine Liu, and Concubine Shu."
"Get up." The Empress Dowager said indifferently. As her eyes turned slightly, she seemed to have thought of something, and asked: "Has the funeral of the girl in Wanrou Mansion been properly handled?"
"The Empress Dowager is concerned about Xiaolan's burial today. The people in the mansion will make arrangements." Yi Fangfei responded calmly.
"Oh - the Ai family heard that Wanrou was very interested in that girl. Why did Wanrou come into the palace at this time?" The Queen Mother's eyes became sharp.
Yi Fangfei's eyes had not yet wavered, and she said calmly: "Wanrou was supposed to send that girl off today, but Wanrou had more important things to do. Last night, Xiaolan entrusted Wanrou with a dream, so that Wanrou would
We must go to Lengcui Palace, saying that her ghost is wandering here, hoping that Wanrou will eliminate her resentment and grant her wish."
The Queen Mother looked directly into Yifangfei's eyes. "What else did she say to you?"
"She said that when the time comes, the soles of her murderer's feet will glow red, which means that they are stained with her blood. Also, she said that the little palace maid Rui'er of Hengwuyuan is with her, and she is also looking for the murderer.
And Rui'er also left evidence. Xiaolan said, when the time comes, someone will come here to look for the evidence." Yi Fangfei said bluntly. She glanced secretly from the corner of her eye and found that Concubine Liu's expression was natural, and the clothes under her sleeves were
The hands were clenched three-quarters of a degree.
"How can things in dreams be taken seriously?" the Queen Mother sneered.
"Wanrou also knew that the things in the dream were not true, but Wanrou was having a fight with her master and servant and could not bear to disobey her last request, so she went to the palace to pay homage to her, hoping that she would be reincarnated as soon as possible.
"Yi Fangfei lowered her eyebrows and said smoothly.
The Empress Dowager's eyebrows moved slightly, but suddenly her face softened and she said: "It's rare for you master and servant to show affection, so you can worship her here. Concubine Liu, Concubine Shu, Ai's family is tired, you stay with Ai's family
Let's go back."
"Yes, Queen Mother." The two of them followed.
A sneer appeared at the corner of Yi Fangfei's mouth.
The fun is about to begin!
really--
"Which palace are you a palace maid? What are you doing here sneakily?" A high-pitched duck voice came from a room in Lengcui Palace. The walking Queen Mother's body was shaken, she turned around and raised her eyebrows.
Weibo: "What happened?"
Eunuch Gao took the lead, and behind him two young eunuchs grabbed a palace maid and hurriedly came forward.
"Back to the Queen Mother, this palace maid was rummaging through things in the room in front of the girl in Ruier Palace just now. When the servant saw that she was acting suspiciously, she asked someone to take it down. Look, these are two packages of things that were searched from her body.
"Eunuch Gao presented two packages of things.
In the air, a strong herbal fragrance emanated.
The Queen Mother's eyes darkened slightly, and she waved her hand: "This kind of girl with unclean hands and feet can be kicked out of the palace directly."
"Yes." Eunuch Gao winked, and the two young eunuchs wanted to catch the maid. Who knew that the maid threw herself at the feet of Concubine Shu?
"Your Majesty, please save me. Your Majesty, please save me. Please tell the Queen Mother that Qiu Ju has no hands or feet and can't hurry up. It's all because the ghost of Rui'er came to Qiu Ju last night. She asked Qiu Ju to find something for her, those two packets."
The thing is what Rui'er hid in the bricks under the bed. Qiu Ju did this just because Rui'er entrusted her with it. Please trust me, trust me." Qiu Ju cried.
Yi Fangfei looked slightly startled and asked, "Is it true that Xiao Lan had a dream yesterday?" She stepped forward and said, "Eunuch Gao, please show me this thing." She was very surprised as to why it was placed there.
Something with herbs? She obviously just sprinkled a little red light powder on it.
The Queen Mother said angrily: "This is nonsense. Come on, drag this girl out and kill her with a cane!"
"Your Majesty, save me. Everything I said is true. Your Majesty wants to save this slave." Qiu Ju cried and struggled.
