Wei Jingxuan's eyes flashed and she said with certainty: "How could I tell her if I knew she had bad intentions, let alone that she had harmed me before, but... Master, you have to be on guard against Concubine Xian."
"Finally you are smart." After saying this, Mingyu said: "If Xia Qing really came to inquire for her, given how much Concubine Xian cares about A Luo, she will definitely go to the Emperor to report this matter to the palace.
, just wait and see.”
From dusk to dark, from dark to the rising sun, there was no movement in either the Yanbo Zhishuang Hall or the Golden Lotus Yingri Garden. They were as calm as ever, which made both Mingyu and Wei Jingxuan breathe a sigh of relief.
In fact, Xia Qing told Xianyue these things immediately. After the latter listened silently, he said or did nothing, and Xia Qing was inconvenient to ask any more questions.
After enduring it for two days, Zhichun couldn't help but asked: "Master, since you already know what happened to A Luo and it was done by someone sent by the queen, why didn't you tell the emperor?"
Xianyue placed a bunch of osmanthus in a vase with colorful treasures intertwined with lotus branches, and said slowly: "The queen is the emperor's married wife. Do you think the emperor will believe these unfounded words?
?”
Zhichun hesitated for a moment, and then said with some reluctance: "Is this the case with A Luo?"
"Of course not." Xia Yue's eyes were cold and she cut off the overly long branches under the osmanthus and said: "Fucha Mingyu caused A Luo to be like this. I must settle this account with her."
What Mingyu has done has crossed her bottom line. If she still tolerates it, she is no longer Nala Xianyue; perhaps, she is too peaceful and giving in these days, which makes Fucha Mingyu forget her methods——
Either don’t do it or never do it!
She walked slowly to the eaves. The autumn rain had just stopped, and the autumn sun peeked out from the clouds. The reflection of the sun made a faint rainbow appear in the sky.
Looking at the rainbow, Xia Yue clasped her hands and said softly: "Yong Lian, I'm sorry, my aunt has tried her best, but she really can no longer keep her promise to you. I hope your spirit in heaven will not blame my aunt!"
Zhichun walked up behind her and said in confusion: "But now the master doesn't do anything, how can he seek justice for A Luo?"
Xianyue put down her hand and said: "The top priority is to find the two people who raped A Luo. Only if they are found can we prove that the Queen is the mastermind behind all this."
Zhichun didn't know this, but it was more difficult than convincing Hongli that Mingyu was the murderer. "We don't have any clues now. The world is so big, how can we find it?"
Xianyue smiled faintly and said, "Who said there were no clues? Didn't Xia Qing trick Wei Jingxuan into telling them that those two people were gamblers?"
"There are tens of millions of gamblers in the world, how can we find one? And...we don't have any manpower outside the palace?" Faced with Zhichun's question, Xianyue said: "I will find a way, you don't have to worry.
.Now...you take someone to fetch the three-legged incense burner with peacock blue glaze and dark engraved unicorn pattern from the warehouse, as well as the bangs and gold toad mirror curtain."
Zhichun knew that these two things were prized by Hongli before and were quite valuable. She responded and asked: "But they are to be placed in the master's room?"
Xianyue shook her head and said: "No, you send it to the Yanxun Mountain Pavilion for me to give to the Empress."
Zhichun exclaimed in shock: "The queen harmed A Luo like that, why do you still give her such a precious thing?"
Xianyue said sadly: "I have my own plans, just send them to me. Remember, don't show any flaws, especially when facing Wei Jingxuan, don't underestimate her just because she is young."
Seeing that she was speaking very seriously, Zhichun did not dare to ask any more questions. After agreeing, he took the things and sent them to Yanxun Mountain Pavilion. Shortly after Zhichun came back, Jinqiu appeared in Xianyue's sight, coming with her.
The eunuch held a pot of crimson coral in his hand.
Seeing Jin Qiu appear, Xianyue whispered to Zhichun: "Go and make a pot of Keemun black tea immediately!"
Zhichun left immediately. As for Jinqiu, he came over with a smile and saluted Xianyue, "The queen liked the things that the empress sent her very much, so she asked the slaves to send corals as a return gift."
Xianyue smiled warmly and said: "The Queen is too polite. All this is what I should do. This coral... I really don't dare to accept it."
Jin Qiu knelt down and said, "If the Queen refuses to accept me, I will not be able to explain to the Queen."
Xianyue hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said: "Okay, I will accept it. It's getting late today, so I won't bother my empress. I'll go to express my gratitude to you in person early tomorrow morning."
After ordering the young eunuch to hand over the coral to the palace attendants of Golden Lotus Yingri Garden, Jin Qiu saluted again and said: "If the Queen has no other instructions, I will go back and report my orders to the Queen."
Xianyue said with a smile: "Auntie, wait a minute, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has just sent some Qimen black tea. It is the best to drink black tea on such a cold day. I will send someone to prepare some, and then please ask my aunt for help."
Bring it to the Queen to taste. When I go there tomorrow, I will ask the Queen if she likes it."
"Your Majesty is interested." When Jin Qiu agreed and Zhichun came back, Xianyue smiled and said, "I just asked someone to make a pot of Qimen Red Pot. Why don't you come in and have a drink with me?"
Walk."
Jin Qiu said quickly: "With my humble body, how can I be qualified to drink tea with my queen?"
Xianyue glanced at Zhichun, who walked to Jinqiu knowingly, took her arm and said: "Aunt, you are a popular person next to the Queen. If Aunt is mean, then I won't even be standing here."
I no longer have the qualifications." With Jin Qiu's smile, she continued: "Master gave tea to aunt, does aunt really want to refute this honor?"
Jinqiu hesitated for a long time, then relented and said, "In that case, I would like to thank Concubine Xian for this gift." After that, she followed Xianyue into the Nuang Pavilion. Zhichun quickly took the brewed tea and gave it to Xianyue and Xianyue respectively.
Jinqiu poured a glass.
Jin Qiu looked at the tea in her hand: "Although I don't understand tea, I can see that the soup is red and bright, and the aroma is like fruit and orchid. I know that this is a first-class tea."
Xianyue chuckled and said: "Since it is good tea, let's try it quickly."
Jin Qiu took a sip and said, "The aftertaste is long and sweet. I believe the Queen will like it very much."
"It would be best if the Empress likes it." Saying this, Xianyue raised her eyelids and said, "If you like it, I will have someone pretend to bring it back to you."
Jin Qiu quickly declined and said: "This slave can drink just one cup of such precious tea. I am already lucky in this life. How dare I ask for more."
"It's just some tea leaves, how can it be so serious." At this point, Xia Yue's long eyelashes trembled slightly and said: "I heard that Wei Jingxuan has gained the favor of the Queen during these days. Is this true?
