Chapter 148: Traitor or loyal minister (14)

That night, Duan Li did not come back as expected. Su Jin went to the palace maid's room. The little palace maid who lived with Mo Yao was called away by Qinghe. Su Jin dragged Mo Yao out from under the bed.

Mo Yao felt in a trance that she had had a long, long dream. When she woke up, she saw her face and thought she was looking in the mirror. Before her consciousness was fully awake, she saw her face in the mirror and spoke. , with a strange voice: "Mo Yao."

Mo Yao suddenly woke up. Only then did she realize that she was sitting on the ground, and the person in front of her was not her at all in the mirror. Although she was wearing the same clothes and had the same face, if she looked carefully, she could see that they were different. The eyes are completely different.

"save……"

As soon as Mo Yao opened her mouth, Su Jin covered her eyes. She heard the person in front of her whisper in her ear: "I followed you quietly. Whether it was to get food or clothes, you always took a long way to the bamboo forest. , today I dressed up as you and met the palace people beside Concubine Shu in the depths of the bamboo forest."

Su Jin said, taking out the so-called child-seeking pill, "Are you from Concubine Shu? You said, what will happen to you if I tell Lan Bin about the matter? Oh, no, I should tell Li Auntie, Concubine Qi is on good terms with Concubine Lan. Although Concubine Lan is soft-hearted, Concubine Qi is very capable."

Mo Yao remembered what the palace people said, His Majesty only went to Qi Concubine's palace a few more times, and Qi Concubine was embarrassed by Concubine Shu in every possible way. If Lan Concubine didn't like to go out and only stayed in Yilan Palace every day, I'm afraid it would have been... No peace.

Concubine Qi has a grudge against Concubine Shu. If she, a little palace servant who cheats and cheats, is caught using an excuse to get angry, your Majesty will still stand up for Concubine Lan even if he is concerned about the second prince under Concubine Shu's knees. After all, in Yilan Palace, there is no one who neglects his duties. The palace guests were all taken away by His Majesty's Manager Cui, and it is said that the new palace servants were personally selected by Manager Cui. His Majesty was so fond of Lan Bin, and after learning that he had personally sorted out the people around him, he , but still made my beloved concubine feel wronged, and she was furious...

Mo Yao thought a lot for a moment. She looked at the stranger wearing her face in front of her, and became more and more frightened. How could it be possible? How could someone suddenly break into Yilan Palace? Didn't the other palace people notice it? ?

She looked at Su Jin and shook her head slightly, saying that she would never scream. Until Su Jin moved her hand slightly, she gasped and suppressed her fear and said: "In what capacity do you communicate with Empress Lan Bin and Aunt Li?" They won't believe you if you say this.

Moreover, you probably misunderstood. Before I was assigned to Yilan Palace, I was just a small palace servant in the flower room who took care of the flowers and plants. How could I possibly be acquainted with the eldest palace maid next to Empress Shu Fei? "

Mo Yao quibbled. She knew that whether she admitted or continued to lie, her end might not be good. Since the person in front of her could disguise herself as her and avoid the eyes and ears of Yilan Palace, she would naturally be able to hide her secrets. Unconsciously, he told Aunt Li the truth.

But she didn't say it. Instead, he came to threaten her. The request must be great. Don't be afraid of your life. It's a moment to live longer.

Su Jin snorted, maybe her hands were sore, and moved her wrist slightly. Turning her head, Mo Yao saw the plum blossom birthmark behind Su Jin's ear. Her eyes widened suddenly, and she couldn't help but reach out to touch the beautiful girl. petals, but Su Jin stopped her hand severely.

Mo Yao seemed not to feel the pain in her hands. Her mind seemed to drift back to the winter 14 years ago, a fire, a few white silk ribbons, many dead souls in Weiyang Palace, and His Highness's handkerchief coughing up blood. She heard herself The voice asked: "Who are you?"

"Your identity will be known to the people of Yilan Palace, and you will die miserably, or you will work for me, you choose one.

Your family outside the palace..."

Mo Yao thought, who was her family outside the palace? It was only enemies who treated her. If Empress Mingrui hadn't been generous and asked her aunt to bring her into the palace, she would have been matched for a dark marriage. But what happened to the person in front of her? Why did she have the same birthmark as Princess Chaogui, and these eyes? Mo Yao looked carefully and found that these eyes were very similar to His Highness's. Is His Highness's soul back for revenge?

Mo Yao looked excited. She looked deeply at the person in front of her and asked, "What do you want me to do."

Su Jin relaxed her strength and said, "Tomorrow at midnight, we will lead Concubine Lan to the Royal Garden. This is the first thing to do. I will come to see you again in the future."

Mo Yao felt her mouth was a little dry. She thought about the weak and kind-hearted Lan Bin. She would not be angry when she accidentally destroyed the painting sent by Empress Qi Bin. She only comforted her softly that it was not in the way, so she kept perfunctory with Concubine Shu. of people.

She thought that it would be best for Concubine Shu to kill all the people outside the palace, but now, this person who is suspected to be Princess Chaogui actually wants her to take Concubine Lan to the Imperial Garden. The weather has become colder and colder recently, and Imperial Concubine There is really nothing to see in the garden.

Mo Yao wanted to ask why and whether it would hurt Empress Lan Bin, but he didn't dare to ask. He just said, "If I succeed, can you let me see my real face."

As soon as Mo Yao finished speaking, she heard the person in front of her chuckle softly, as if he was laughing at her overestimation. Before she could react, she felt a pain in the back of her head and lost consciousness.

Su Jin put Mo Yao who had passed out on the bed, pretended to be asleep, and left from the window. The lights were still on in Yilan Palace. Ling Wanying seemed to be waiting for someone. Aunt Li on the side said: "Your Majesty She said she wanted to eat the plum blossom cake from Liuzhi's hometown, so Qingsu went to Liuzhi to learn from her. She said that she would definitely let the empress eat the plum blossom cake she made herself tomorrow."

Ling Wanying smiled and said: "Qingsu is always so kind, she wants to make me happy." Then, she didn't know what she thought of, and she looked a little lonely, "Your Majesty is not coming, and I plan to let your Majesty taste what I cook. Rose soup.”

"Concubine Rou is weak, your Majesty may not be worried..." At this point, Aunt Li wanted to slap herself in the mouth. Concubine Rou is weak, so aren't they, Concubine Lan, also weak?Her words must have made Empress Lan Bin sad. Unexpectedly, Empress Lan Bin was not only not sad, but also looked worried: "Then Your Majesty must be particularly sad."

At this time, are you still worried about His Majesty’s mood?Aunt Li doesn't understand. Aren't ordinary women jealous at this time?

But there was no trace of jealousy on Empress Lan Bin's face. Empress Lan Bin said: "Your Majesty brought all the donkey-hide gelatin that was offered as tribute to my palace. I don't know if the donkey-hide gelatin will be useful to Concubine Rou's body. I'll send it to you tomorrow." Let’s go to Ganquan Palace.”

As the candlelight danced, Aunt Li heard her simple and kind-hearted master say again: "Your Majesty said that Concubine Rou was frail and she blocked a sword for him when he was in Suzhou. Concubine Rou treated Your Majesty sincerely and she was unwell at this time. , I also feel uncomfortable."

Aunt Li:......

In the end, Aunt Li didn't even know how she got out of the palace. She was in a daze and felt that the master had once again refreshed her understanding of human nature. How could there be such a kind person? She tried to say that Concubine Rou had brought His Majesty from Yilan. If she was asked to leave the palace, the other concubines would laugh at the empress, but Lan Bin said, just laugh at her, I entered the palace for your majesty, not for them.

Aunt Li gradually understood why it was rumored that Concubine Lan met His Majesty and became ill with longing for him, and then relied on the portrait of His Majesty that General Zhenguo asked for to survive. Aunt Li felt that it was really...sigh.

After Aunt Li left, the inner hall suddenly became empty. Ling Wanying looked at the candlelight and heard a slight noise behind her. She immediately turned around and saw that it was her sister.

Su Jin was still holding Mo Yao's face at this time. Ling Wanying immediately took out the medicinal powder from the drawer and lightly sprinkled it on Su Jin's face until the layer of skin slipped off. Seeing Su Jin's pale face, Ling Wanying said with heartache: "You can't use it again in the future. This medicine is extremely harmful to the body."

Su Jin smiled weakly and nodded under Ling Wanying's expectant gaze.

This time it was an accident. After knocking Mo Yao unconscious, she saw the note in Mo Yao's arms. If she didn't go to see that person, she was afraid of being suspected by Concubine Shu. Concubine Shu had a straightforward and fiery personality, and now she had a Mo Yao was doing things for her, which made her feel that she could bear it any longer. If Mo Yao didn't go today, she might come to Yilan Palace to kill him tomorrow.Yilan Palace is remote, and by the time Duan Li gets the news, the matter is already a foregone conclusion.

"How about, then Mo Yao..."

"She recognized the birthmark behind my ear, and apart from my mother's aunt, only you and Mo Yao know about this birthmark. Although I don't know what she has gone through in these years to become the concubine Shu, but I thought, Even if it’s for Aunt Fang, I have to protect her.”

Listening to Su Jin's words, Ling Wanying felt that her sister was soft-hearted. She said coldly: "Aunt Fang is Aunt Fang, and Mo Yao is Mo Yao. No matter what difficulties she has had over the years, if she blocks the road to recovery, I will also No mercy.

And since she made you so weak today, I don't think it's necessary to test her. Even if she is Mo Yao back then, I don't think she can help us. "

Su Jin's expression moved slightly. She looked at Ling Wanying and said, "Those who achieve great things don't stick to trivial matters, but that doesn't mean that they have to abandon all conscience. She was once your playmate. In the past few months, apart from provoking her at the beginning, she My relationship with Qinghe has never done anything bad, and you are still the same Mo Yao you once were."

"There will be blood on the road to the restoration of the country. This is inevitable, but the blood of innocent people should not be stained. Ayu, we cannot let our father, queen and mother down."

After hearing this, Ling Wanying's eyes flashed with tears when she thought of her kind-hearted father, queen and mother. Her father, queen and mother had been kind all her life, and her aunt worked so hard for the people. In the end, they died and no one remembered them. So, what's the use of being kind? , but Ling Wanying didn't say anything. Sister couldn't bear to let her old friend meet a miserable end, so she would make her old friend's death look nicer.

Su Jin knew Ling Wanying well and knew that she didn't listen, so she opened her mouth and said, "Aunt Fang closed the Weiyang Palace and set it on fire to cover our escape. 14 years later, Mo Yao still misses us, Ayu, you Are you afraid that she will reveal our identity?"

Ling Wanying nodded.

Su Jin continued: "It is better to have one more friend in the palace than one more enemy."

Ling Wanying thought that her sister had been doing everything since she entered the palace. The trained people only entered the palace this year, and she didn't know how long it would take to become useful. And they were afraid that their old people would not be exposed. Dare to contact me, if Mo Yao can help...

When Ling Wanying thought of this, she felt sorry for Su Jin, so she nodded reluctantly. After Su Jin's face recovered a little, she used potion to cover up the birthmark behind her ear, "It's really amazing that Concubine Rou can endure until now." Surprised, no wonder he is a person who can be favored forever."

Su Jin couldn't help but smile. She asked the little palace servants sent by the Ling family to recite how favored Concubine Lan was every day where Concubine Rou or Princess Jinyang passed by. All the palace officials who deliberately let Concubine Rou stay in Yilan Palace knew it. The way Duan Li and Ling Wanying got along in private was to seduce Concubine Rou into action.

Only when people move will their flaws be exposed.

"Sister, Concubine Rou's fragrance can come in handy, right..." Seeing Su Jin nodding, Ling Wanying couldn't help but feel happy. It's best to hurry up. She no longer wants to deal with Duan Li. Seeing him , she would think of her aunt and cousin who died tragically.

Duan Li was in Ganquan Palace, smelling the faint fragrance of flowers in the palace, and couldn't help but think of Lan Bi. The tearful beautiful eyes in his mind couldn't go away. He couldn't help but ask: "Have you changed the fragrance?"

"Yes, it is a new incense made by Shang Gong Bureau. It is named Sanhe. Do you like it, Your Majesty? As soon as I smelled this incense, I thought of the first time I met Your Majesty." Concubine Rou said softly, her face was pale but she did not look haggard. , she is still a beauty that I pity.

Sanhe, on that day when the Suzhou magistrate presented his beauty, it was in Sanhe Tower in Suzhou City. Later, he was assassinated, also in Sanhe Tower...

"I like it," Duan Li said, but he preferred the fragrance of lotus flowers.

Ganquan Palace is full of warmth and affection.

Shun'an Palace replaced another batch of porcelain overnight.

Fengyi Palace is not at peace either, but Jinhua Palace is as calm as ever. Gong Zhengsi, this is the first step.

His Majesty left Lan Bin's palace and went to Rou Fei's palace. Word spread throughout the palace overnight. Just when everyone was secretly laughing at Lan Bin, they heard that Lan Bin, who had not been out of the palace for a long time, went to the Imperial Garden and planned to go there. See the loneliness of the new beloved concubine.

God knows how jealous they were of Lan Bin's good luck.

They both entered the palace as the emperor's concubines, so how could Concubine Lan be treated differently, but they were not allowed to see Tian Yan for several months.

They entered the palace for the sake of their family, and also harbored the dream of becoming the next Queen Mingrui or the current Queen Mother.

But now I can't even see His Majesty.

But what's the use of jealousy? The queen mother didn't want to see the concubine. The queen only said that everything depends on the emperor's wishes. She only smashed a bunch of porcelain in the palace and did not provoke the emperor's new favorite. Concubine.

And Cui Guibin, who always puts rules in her mouth, was ignored by the emperor because of her previous affairs. She was worried about the safety of her father and brother, so how could she have the leisure to interfere in these matters?
Originally he wanted to incite Concubine Qi, but the cold and aloof Concubine Qi made friends with Concubine Lan and instead laughed at them for their lack of ability.

There were many voices of resentment in the harem, and there were also faint disturbances in the previous dynasty. They did not dare to point their fingers at the emperor, and did not want to chill the Ling family who guarded the border, so they put all the blame on the queen.

If the queen hadn't been unworthy, how could they have allowed their daughters and sisters to enter the palace for half a year and not be able to see the beauty of heaven?

If it weren't for the fact that the queen was useless, the matter of the Zhu family's daughter would not have been concluded yet.

The queen did not expect that this matter would involve her. She always protected herself and turned a blind eye to the little tricks of the concubines. It can be said that there is no queen more tolerant than her, but she was actually said to be unworthy. This made her neither complain nor panic.

The Queen Mother gave her power to Concubine Qi again. The Queen had a headache, so under Shen Mo's persuasion, she thought of going to Guangming Tower to relax. When passing by the Imperial Garden, she faintly heard the noise in front of her, so she asked Shen Mo. Mo Qian went to check and heard that Lan Bin was there. His eyes flashed and he walked over.
