After leaving the Ministry of Internal Affairs, she took a look at the sky full of rays of light and walked towards the Qianqing Palace. Soon, the Qianqing Palace shrouded in the sunset appeared in her sight.
At the same time, footsteps sounded behind her, but Qiao Yan'er didn't pay attention until a subtle voice penetrated her ears, "If you don't want the Queen to find out what you are doing, don't go any further."
Qiao Yan'er was startled by the sudden sound, and quickly looked back. When she could see the person behind her clearly, she was startled at first, and then exclaimed: "It's you? You...why are you here?" "
The man did not answer her words, only said: "I know you went to Qianqing Palace to find Ye Fang, but now is not the right time, just let me go." After saying this, he turned around and walked to the side. Let's go, Qiao Yan'er hesitated for a moment, then stomped up and followed.
The two of them walked one behind the other until they reached a deserted place. The man just stopped. Qiao Yaner walked up to him and said warily: "How did you know that I was looking for Ye Fang?"
The man smiled slightly and said: "I not only know that you went to find Ye Fang, but also that you went to Zhang Quan, Fu Tai, and Qiao Yan'er. You pride yourself on being careful and careful, but you don't know that it has already happened in the eyes of me... and the queen. .”
Qiao Yan'er recalled what he had said to her at the beginning and said warily: "What on earth do you mean?"
"Me?" The man smiled and said, "Of course I'm here to help you. If I hadn't stopped you just now, you would have fallen into the Queen's trap without even knowing it."
"Why do you want to help me? You're not..." Before Qiao Yan'er could ask any more questions, the man already said: "Just like I don't ask you about things, you don't need to ask any more questions; in short, the Queen already knows that you and When Ye Fang and Zhang Quan came into contact, they sent people to follow them."
Qiao Yan'er turned pale in shock and immediately gritted her teeth and said: "So, the queen has been sending people to keep an eye on me?"
"Miss Qiao is smart." After a pause, the man continued: "You might as well tell Miss Qiao one more thing, you only have five days left."
"Five days? Why?" Faced with Qiao Yan'er's question, the man smiled and said nothing. Looking at his smile, Qiao Yan'er seemed to understand something, and said with an ugly face: "Is it five days later, the queen will return again?" Mention the matter of marriage?"
The man shook his finger and said, "No, it's a direct decree to grant the marriage. The queen doesn't have much patience with you anymore. If she didn't want to find out what you were doing secretly, she wouldn't even give you these five days."
Qiao Yan'er clenched her hands tightly and gritted her teeth: "I will not leave the Forbidden City, and she will never get her wish."
The man seemed to have expected such a reaction from her, and said with a smile: "I have told Miss Qiao everything I know. Where is Miss Qiao, are you willing to tell me?"
Qiao Yaner's thoughts were racing. After a fierce struggle, she raised her eyes and said, "I want to expose the Queen's conspiracy to instruct Zhou Quan, the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, to harm Wei Yaosheng."
"Wei agree?" A look of surprise flashed across the man's brows, but he didn't ask any more questions and instead asked, "Where's Ye Fang, what can he help you with?"
Now that he had revealed his purpose, Qiao Yan'er had nothing to hide, and said truthfully: "He knows the little eunuch who promised to deliver food to Wei, and he can help me pass on the message."
"I see. Judging from your appearance, you should have agreed to pass the message with Wei." The man thought for a while and said, "Let someone else deliver the message to Ye Fang for you, otherwise if it attracts the attention of the person sent by the Queen, It will be difficult for Ye Fang to act again; and...the queen may act in advance, and by then, you may not even have five days."
"I understand." After Qiao Yan'er solemnly agreed, the man left quietly, as if he had never appeared.
After listening to his words, Qiao Yan'er did not go to Qianqing Palace, but returned to her residence and found out the half-embroidered purse she had embroidered a few days ago. After finishing the embroidery overnight, she carefully sewed the note inside the purse, and then handed the purse over. To Dong Xiu, who is usually close to him, he asked her to pass it on to Ye Fang on his behalf.
Dong Xiu said in a funny voice: "You girl, why did you think of giving away someone's money for no reason? Also, when did you meet this Ye Fang, why didn't I know at all?"
Qiao Yan'er had already thought of an excuse and said: "It rained a few days ago. I accidentally slipped and fell. Fortunately, he passed by and helped me."
Dong Xiu had no doubt that she had it and said with a smile: "So that's it. I thought it was you, Ni Zichun, who was tempted!"
Qiao Yan'er's face turned red and she said, "Sister, don't talk nonsense, there is no such thing."
"It's best not to have yourself." Dong Xiu sighed and said: "Neither Ye Fang nor the other father-in-laws in the palace are complete men. No matter how good their character is, they are not a good match; unless there is no chance. Leave the palace, otherwise I advise you to wait until you get out of the palace to find a suitable man to marry."
"I know, sister, don't worry." Qiao Yan'er sneered in her heart, eunuch? She doesn't even want to marry a prince, general or minister, so how could she fall in love with a mere eunuch? She lives in this world with only one purpose, which is revenge. !
Dong Xiu nodded, took her purse and went out. The next day, when Qiao Yaner went to the inner warehouse, she saw Ye Fang walking towards her. As the two passed by, Ye Fang quietly touched Qiao Yaner. The next moment, a ball of something appeared in Qiao Yan'er's palm. The latter held it as if nothing had happened. She waited until there was no one else in the inner library before opening her palm. As she had guessed, it was a piece of paper. But after unfolding the paper ball, I unexpectedly found a paper package as big as a fingernail inside, which contained some fragrant powder. Strange, what is this?
Qiao Yan'er suppressed the curiosity in her heart and looked at the note written in small regular script. After reading it, a smile appeared on her face. Okay, it's really good. This time, what else can she think of that thoughtful person? escape?!
After burning the note, she put the paper bag away close to her body and went to the House of Internal Affairs to meet with Fu Tai. After listening to her story, the latter hesitated and said, "Do you really want to do this?"
"He can frame the fault, why can't we? Furthermore, strictly speaking, we are not framing the fault, we are just letting them expose their flaws." With that said, Qiao Yan'er handed over the paper bag and said: "This is our only chance. If we miss it, I'll be fine with it, but you will definitely not have a good life. Whether you want to give it a try or just wait for death, you have to think clearly."
Fu Tai stared straight at the paper bag in Qiao Yan'er's hand. After a long time, he finally gritted his teeth and took it, "Okay, let's give it a try. I hope I won't fail."
Qiao Yan'er smiled with satisfaction and said: "Don't worry, with such a thing, we will definitely succeed."
After Fu Tai carefully put the paper bag away, she added: "By the way, Wei promised to let us find out why crows gathered in groups near Yongshou Palace during that period. She said this might also be an opportunity."
