After a while of touching a stick of incense, Jinping came in with Yongxuan. After the latter bowed, Xianyue said: "Yongxuan, please tell me about that encounter with Li Jifeng again."
I'll tell you once, my mother-in-law."
Although Yongxuan felt strange, he still told the story again. It was exactly the same as what he said before. There was no difference. Xianyue nodded slightly and said: "After Li Jifeng left, you returned to Yonghe Palace and never went anywhere else
?”
"Yes." After Yongxuan's affirmative answer, Xianyue said, "What about on the road? Have you met anyone else or seen anything?"
Yongxuan scratched his head and tried to remember. Xianyue didn't rush him and waited quietly. After a long time, Yongxuan called out softly and said, "I remembered it. Not long after Li Jifeng left, I met Xin again."
Concubine."
When the word "Xinpin" came out of Yongxuan's mouth, Xia Qing's expression suddenly changed. She stared at him closely and said, "Why haven't I heard you talk about it before?"
Yongxuan was a little frightened by her stare, and whispered: "It's just a trivial matter. E Niang didn't ask, so I forgot to tell you." After that, he timidly said: "E Niang, what happened?"
Xia Qing's face darkened and she was about to scold her, but Xianyue took the lead and said, "Yongxuan, you will tell me carefully about your encounter with Xin Bin."
Yongxuan nodded and said while thinking: "I remember that Xinbin asked Erchen why he was out so late. Erchen said that he had just watched the Twelfth Brother and wanted to go back to Yonghe Palace. After that, Empress Xinbin brought an umbrella to
My son, and then..." It's over
After such a long time, the memory was inevitably a little blurry. He patted his forehead hard and remembered something more, "Then she asked Erchen if he felt uncomfortable somewhere, and Erchen told him about Li Jifeng's collision with him, and then he
Gone."
Xia Qing said with an ugly face: "In other words, Xin Bin also knows about Li Jifeng's night break into the inner palace?"
"Yes." Following the word Yongxuan, Xia Qing couldn't hold back the anger in her heart. She slapped the handrail hard and gritted her teeth and said: "What a Xin concubine, we actually let her fool us. I'm afraid even
Wei Jingxuan also didn't expect that the person who really stabbed her in the back would be Xin Bin."
Yongxuan asked doubtfully: "What kind of stabbing in the back, E Niang, Xin Bi Niang, what did she do?"
Xianyue took the words and said: "It's nothing, there are just some things that I and your mother have missed before. You go back first. Don't tell anyone what you just said, and there is no need to mention it to Yong Cang. Do you understand?
?”
"Yes." Yongxuan endured the curiosity in his heart and stepped back. After he left, Xianyue stood up and looked in the direction of Jingren Palace, and said coldly: "I heard that Xin Bin went to Yangxin Palace yesterday to request a request.
The emperor ordered Wei Xiuyan to die, and it was at that time that he discovered that she was pregnant."
Xia Qing sneered and said: "She is eager to kill all the Wei family and refuses to leave a single person alive."
Xianyue shook her head and said: "You are wrong. She is not eager to drive away the Wei family, but is eager to please me. She knows that I hate the Wei family very much. The existence of Wei Xiuyan will definitely make me unhappy, so
I begged the emperor to execute Wei
Xiuyan, please come here to take credit when the time comes. I even suspect that even fainting in the Yangxin Hall was a trick on her part; but she had calculated everything, but she never expected that Yonggui would be pregnant at this time.
Stealing her spotlight."
"It seems that we have really underestimated Xin Bin. Madam, would you like to..." Before Xia Qing could continue, Xianyue raised her hand and said, "Don't worry, she is now pregnant with a dragon fetus.
Good, but it will get you into trouble."
Xia Qing nodded and said thoughtfully: "Speaking of Ao Gong, it seems...she is not satisfied with the position of Sixth Concubine."
Xianyue snapped her fingers and smiled and said: "When you become a noble, you want to be the sixth concubine. After becoming the sixth concubine, you want to be the fourth concubine or even a noble concubine. Once a person becomes greedy, it is difficult to be satisfied. He takes step after step until he reaches the highest level.
Or... destroy yourself."
After chatting like this until noon, Xia Qing and Yongxuan were left to have lunch in Kunning Palace before watching them leave. Just as Xianyue was about to return to the inner hall to take a nap, Qi Kuan came in and called Qianer and said: "Master
, Lin Yuan is back."
Xianyue's expression changed and she said, "Send him to come in."
"Hey." After Qi Kuan responded, he brought Lin Yuan in. He was young, only about 20 years old. He was a palace servant who was specially transferred from the Ministry of Internal Affairs by Zheng Jiu. After Lin Yuan entered the palace, he
I have been following Zheng Jiu for nearly ten years, so I know everything about him.
After Lin Yuan saluted, Xianyue said: "How?"
Lin Yuan said respectfully: "Master, I have been ordered by you to find the vegetable farmer who is responsible for delivering fresh vegetables and fruits to Guangxiu Garden every day. I want to enter Guangxiu Garden with him. Unexpectedly, the vegetable farmer said that since many days ago,
, they are not allowed to enter Guangxiu Garden, everything,
They were only delivered to the back door, and the money was paid on the spot, and the things were moved in by the servants of Guangxiuyuan. The servants followed him later, hoping to seize the opportunity to trick the servants, but they were all very tight-lipped.
I couldn’t even ask, and it almost made them suspicious.”
Jin Ping said in surprise: "We have sent people to Guangxiu Garden before, but we didn't control it so tightly. What's wrong?"
After Xianyue asked about the specific day, she said slowly: "I remember that the emperor had left the palace before that day. It seems that it was the emperor's intention."
Jin Ping said in confusion: "It's really strange, why does the good emperor guard Guangxiu Garden so closely? It's almost as if he is afraid that someone will assassinate Wei Xiuyan."
Xianyue thought for a moment, "It's not that I'm afraid of assassination, but that I'm afraid that Wei Xiuyan will know that all the Wei family members have been executed."
Jin Ping said angrily: "I don't know what the emperor is thinking. He killed so many people, but he only left one Wei Xiuyan alive."
Seeing that Xianyue was still silent, Qi Kuan said tentatively: "Master, how about...let Lin Yuan try again?"
Xianyue shook her head and said, "No need. With Guangxiuyuan's tight defense, even if we go again, the result will be the same." Then, she said to Jinping, "Give Lin Yuan ten taels of silver."
"Thank you, Master, for the reward." When Lin Yuan took the money and was about to leave, he suddenly stopped and said to Xianyue, "Master, I just remembered something. I don't know if it is of any use."
"Tell me." Under Xianyue's signal, Lin Yuan recalled: "I remember that the people in Guangxiu Garden asked if there were any fresh sour plums when they were making silver. Miss Wei Er especially wanted to eat sour plums these days.
Plums, and also asked the vegetable farmers to deliver them as soon as they are available."
Qi Kuan's eyelids twitched and he blurted out: "I remember that my master also liked eating sour plums for a while. At that time..."
Before Qi Kuan could finish speaking, Xianyue had already said to Lin Yuan: "I know, please step back."
