Seeing that Yun Jingchu was silent, Grandma Mei's face had returned to indifference, and with a cold expression on her lips, she asked: "As long as you agree, I can send you out of the palace at any time without anyone noticing."
"Jingchu thanks Aunt Mei for the suggestion, but Jingchu can't leave the palace yet." Yun Jingchu raised her eyes and looked at Aunt Mei and said firmly, but she did not tell the reason why she wanted to stay in the palace.
As soon as these words were spoken, Aunt Mei's face became colder and colder, and suddenly turned into thousand-year-old frost. She moved with lightning steps, and was about to grab Yun Jingchu's hand——
Suddenly, the goshawk that had led Yun Jingchu just now suddenly flew over, and finally landed on Yun Jingchu's shoulder. The chill in Yun Jingchu's dark pupils suddenly turned cold, and he was not afraid of this goshawk.
The eagle looked at the goshawk with great affection, but the goshawk actually lowered its head towards her, as if with an indescribable respect.
Looking at this scene, Grandma Mei couldn't help but retract her movements, changed from her usual coldness, and asked anxiously: "How did you do that?"
There was confusion in Yun Jingchu's beautiful eyes. She didn't do anything. As for why this goshawk did this to her, even she didn't know.
"Sorry, I can't answer your question because I don't even know." Yun Jingchu said truthfully.
Aunt Mei was stunned for a moment, her gaze resting on Yun Jingchu's face, as if she had been looking at her carefully for a long time. It took a long time before she spoke again, and said in a completely different tone: "What do you want to know, just ask."
Although Yun Jingchu didn't understand why her attitude changed so quickly, it would be fine as long as she was willing to talk, so she asked, "I want to ask Aunt Mei, did you think there was anything suspicious about the night when Concubine Shu had an accident?"
somewhere, or is there someone suspicious?"
"Actually, that night, I called the goshawk back very early and locked the cage with my own hands." Aunt Mei walked to the cage on one side, pointed at it and said, "But at midnight, I suddenly heard the goshawk flying out.
There was a loud sound, so I immediately came out to take a look and found that the cage had been opened. Just when I was playing the flute to call them back, a strange sound suddenly sounded, causing the returning goshawks to immediately turn around and head towards
Fly to the other side."
"The sound of the piano?" Yun Jingchu raised her eyebrows lightly and repeated those two words.
"Yes, it was a very strange piano sound. Later I understood that since I can use the sound of the flute to lure the eagle back, the sound of the piano can naturally do the same." Aunt Mei said thoughtfully.
He glanced at Yun Jingchu and said, "That's all I know. Please don't tell anyone what I told you."
Yun Jingchu looked at Aunt Mei. Although Aunt Mei was a little weird, she felt a sense of intimacy, so she couldn't help but said, "Jingchu, thank you, Aunt Mei, for informing me."
Aunt Mei didn't seem to appreciate Yun Jingchu's love, her face was still cold, she turned around indifferently, and was about to leave, but suddenly stopped and said to Yun Jingchu: "Remember what this goshawk did to you today.
, don’t tell anyone about it.”
As soon as she finished speaking, she reached out and picked up the goshawk, and quickly walked towards the big tree next to it——
Yun Jingchu didn't understand why she warned him like this, but she still said politely: "Jingchu knows, so Jingchu stepped back first."
After saying this, Yun Jingchu turned around and walked towards the door of Sufangzhai——
Aunt Mei looked at Yun Jingchu's disappearing figure, placed the goshawk on a branch, reached out and touched its head, and said to herself: "Although it is just a prophecy, you must believe it.
Back then, your ancestors knew that the late emperor would become the emperor, so they came to protect him, and now, you landed on that girl's shoulders and bowed your head to acknowledge her. Does this mean that this girl is the real queen?"
The chill in Aunt Mei's eyes was even deeper. This was an ancient prophecy on Wushan Mountain. If this girl was recognized by Goshawk as her master, then the unspeakable man beside her would be the future emperor.
Thinking of this, Aunt Mei stopped talking and frowned slightly. There was an ominous premonition in her heart that lingered...

The first ray of sunlight in the morning shines on the table through the carved window lattice. Yun Jingchu is busy in the hall, placing breakfast one by one on the table.
At this time, Eunuch Gui walked in, walked to Yun Jingchu's side, and reported to her in a low voice: "Jingchu, the master has rescued Xiaomei's mother, and tonight we can take advantage of the banquet to send her out of the palace to be with her."
Xiaomei is reunited." In fact, after this incident, he admired Yun Jingchu even more, but it was obvious that the queen now seemed to have become a thorn in her side.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but worry about Yun Jingchu. Eunuch Gui couldn't help but said: "But I am still very worried about your current situation. After all, the Queen is trying her best to get rid of you."
Yun Jingchu nodded, with a slight smile on her lips. She knew in her heart that Situ Yan hated her now, but the most important thing now was to find out the cause of Concubine Shu's death, and to know who was behind all this.
The behind-the-scenes operation can also let her know what to do next.
At this moment, Eunuch Xu walked in and when he saw Yun Jingchu, he said, "Isn't Concubine Hui up yet?"
Yun Jingchu nodded, looked at Eunuch Xu and asked, "Not yet. I wonder what Eunuch-in-law has to do to come over so early?"
"Then Auntie Lao will help you pass the message." Eunuch Xu didn't want to disturb Concubine Hui, so he continued to tell Yun Jingchu: "The emperor asked his servant to pass the message. There will be a banquet in the Yangxin Hall tonight. You must invite the empress to go and say
There is something important to announce."
"Okay, Jingchu will definitely tell Concubine Hui." Yun Jingchu said calmly, with no emotion on her delicate face.
Eunuch Xu smiled and turned to leave. Yun Jingchu looked at Eunuch Xu's retreating figure and secretly thought about the important thing Yu Wenrui was going to announce tonight...
***
As night fell, on the lakeside not far from the Yangxin Hall, two figures were reflected in the ripples of the lake, walking towards the Yangxin Hall. It was better to say a walk than a walk.
The banquet at the other end was about to begin, but Concubine Hui specially asked her and Lu Yi to escort Xiaomei's mother out of the palace to avoid any trouble, so after sending Xiaomei out of the palace, they walked slowly
Go, anyway, she is just a palace maid now, not an indispensable figure, so there is no need to rush in such a hurry.
"Jingchu, if you walk like this, the banquet will be broken up by the time we get there." Luyi saw that Yun Jingchu was not in a hurry, but she had been anxious for a long time. After all, there were fewer and fewer maids in Huining Palace. This Concubine Hui
It's always not good if there's no one around to take care of you. Thinking of Lu Yi pouting and saying: "Jingchu, you——"
"Don't talk!" Yun Jingchu made a sign to shut up, interrupted Lu Yi's words, and listened carefully, "Did you hear it? There seems to be a cat meowing."
Listen carefully to this sound, it is indeed the sound of a cat meowing.
At this time, Lu Yi was also shaking his head and listening carefully, looking for the source of the sound. Suddenly he pointed up and said, "Jingchu, that kitten is up there."
Yun Jingchu looked in the direction of the green-clothed person's finger and saw a white kitten lying on a big tree. It was very cute and fluffy, especially there was a black spot on the left ear. At this time, she was four
He was holding a branch that wasn't too thick with his paws together, meowing, and it looked like he couldn't get down.
It's Xiaoguai! Yun Jingchu looked at the kitten with shock in her eyes. This kitten was raised by the previous emperor and was named Xiaoguai. After the emperor's death, she missed him in this way.
She took good care of him, but after she was sent to the sky prison, she never saw Xiaoguai again. She didn't expect to meet him again here tonight.
Unable to conceal her excitement, she walked to the big tree, studied the height, and said, "Lvyi, help me keep the wind away, and I'll climb up and save it."
"Climb up?" Luyi couldn't help but screamed, repeating these three words.
Now I really regret why I was obsessed with books in my previous life and never practiced martial arts with my father. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have to work so hard now, but I have to climb up. Thinking about it, Yun Jingchu frowned slightly and said: "Yes, I want to go up and save it.
Come down."
Luyi looked up at that height and almost fainted from Yun Jingchu's words. She quickly said nervously: "Jingchu, let's not talk about the badness of being seen like this. It's so high up here and there could be danger at any time." She said from her heart.
She said from the bottom of her heart that after all, she had regarded Jingchu as a very good friend, and she really didn't want anything to happen to her.
Yun Jingchu looked at the scared look on the little boy above, and immediately thought of Huang'er's childish little face, her heart tightened again, and she said firmly: "No matter what, I must go up and save it."
After saying that, Yun Jingchu patted the big tree with both hands, and climbed up the tree with great difficulty. However, the branch where the kitten was located was too thin, so Yun Jingchu had no choice but to lie on the trunk and reach out, but it was always difficult.
At one point, Yun Jingchu moved a little harder, causing the whole tree to sway slightly. He immediately grabbed the trunk of the tree in fear. The green man under the tree looked frightened and looked at Yun Jingchu nervously, with his heart hanging in the air.
mid-air.
"Jingchu, be careful, hurry up!" Looking at this dangerous appearance, Lu Yi's heart almost jumped out of his chest, and he shouted nervously.
At this time, a figure heard the voice, suddenly stopped, walked in this direction, looked at the scene in front of him, lightly opened his thin lips and said, "What are you doing?"
Hearing this voice, Luyi immediately turned around and looked at the person in front of him. He became frightened and immediately knelt down and said tremblingly: "Slave... See you, Your Majesty, we are rescuing that kitten."
"After Green Yi said this, he immediately lowered his head in fear and did not dare to look at him.
I saw Yu Wenxuan wearing a dark satin robe with a jade belt around his waist. His narrow phoenix eyes formed a charming arc. He still looked cynical on the outside. There was a slight arc at the corner of his mouth, and he raised a pair of peach blossom eyes and looked at Gao Wenxuan.
Yun Jingchu, who was very cautious around her, made his smile even stronger. He could really see a different side of her every time they met. She still wanted to save the cat like this? She was obviously waiting for others to save her...
