Chapter 130

"Hey, hey, have you heard that Miss Yingliu, who was close to Yumeiren's side, was found drowned in the lake early in the morning?"

The palace people in Xiayi Palace talked a lot.

"Damn, I heard that. It's a pity. Although I have a bit of a broken mouth on weekdays, I still have a little bit of thought, and I like to take advantage of it, but I'm only under 20 years old. It's a pity to die at such a young age." A little older The palace man sighed and said with emotion.

"Yeah, it's a pity. Tell me, Yingliu doesn't go to bed at such a good night. What are you doing running to the lake?" The little palace maid who just arrived suddenly changed her face while talking, and she lowered her voice: "You guys Tell me, maybe Yingliu was murdered by someone..."

Before the word "kill" was uttered, the older maid covered her mouth. She looked around and made sure that there was no one else except them, then let go of the young maid's mouth.

She stared at her: "You don't want to die? How did you know that Yingliu was murdered? There is no conclusive evidence, so don't talk nonsense! The palace needs to be cautious in words and deeds, don't you know!"

The little maid turned pale with fright, and said, "I see, thank you sister for reminding me."

"Okay, it's good to know, go get busy."

The little maid nodded obediently and left here.

"You are young after all. You have only been in Xia Yi Palace for a few days, and you dare to say anything, and you are not afraid that we will betray her." Another older court lady smiled and shook her head.

In this palace, maids in their early twenties like them are considered old people.

It is said that Yumeiren's Xiayi Palace is the most peaceful place in the harem, and Yumeiren is the best master in the palace, and it is true.

They have served in Xiayi Palace for so many years, and they have almost never seen Yumei get angry, even when they treat them like palace people, they always speak softly.

However, as if bewitched by evil spirits, the maids who were close to Yumei's side often didn't serve for a long time before losing their lives due to various accidents.

But this time, Yingliu accidentally fell into the water and died.

The two sisters looked at each other, and both saw deep thinking in each other's eyes.

But the two of them had a tacit understanding and didn't speak, and they looked at each other and smiled.

In this palace, no one is really simple, let alone the so-called indifference to the world.

For these court ladies, doing more and talking less is the way to protect themselves wisely.

……

"Your Majesty, the jade beauty is here." The servants of Fengyi Palace came to report.

At this time, the queen was chatting with Ye Shuhuang.

The queen frowned slightly as she listened. She probably knew the reason why Yumei came here.

Nowadays, the news that Jiang Shimei, Princess Duanyi's son-in-law, concealed that she had a wife and children in her hometown has already spread in the capital.

It was reasonable for Yumeiren to come to her this time.

"Please come in, Yumei." The queen said lightly.

The palace servant bowed his knees and said respectfully, "Yes."

Yumei came in soon, as usual, in a light pink palace dress with apricot flowers embroidered on it.

Her face is beautiful and graceful, and she doesn't look old at all, so even if she is dressed in pink, she doesn't look peaceful at all. Instead, it makes people look at her and can't help but pity her.

Yumei bowed her head and bowed to the Queen Yingying: "The concubine sees the queen."

The queen smiled gently and waved her hands: "You don't need to be too polite, Yumei."

Yumei straightened up, only to realize that Ye Shuhuang was here, and then bowed: "Princess Changle."

She is just a beauty, and Princess Changle is the first princess. In this palace, the distinction between seniority and inferiority always takes precedence over the order of seniority and orderliness.

However, Ye Shuhuang didn't hold back, stood up, and nodded slightly to Yu Meiren: "Yu Meiren."

"Queen, since you have something to do with Yumei, I will go back to the princess mansion first."

The queen gave a "hmm" and asked: "Remember to take good care of yourself in the princess mansion."

"I know." Ye Shuhuang responded with a smile: "I will leave."

After Ye Shuhuang left, the queen looked at Yu Meiren with a gentle attitude: "Yu Meiren, please sit down first."

As she spoke, Chunlan moved a stool for Yumei to sit down.

"Thank you, Ma'am, for sitting down." Yu Meiren sat down.

The queen asked: "You came to see me today, but because of Duanyi?"

Yu Meiren nodded, and she looked up at the queen: "Concubines are useless, I really don't know how to deal with this matter."

"Just speaking from the rules, Duanyi's real mother is only you, the Empress. I wonder what you plan to do?"

The queen smiled indifferently.

Yes, she is the queen, the mother of all the princes and princesses in the harem.

Therefore, this matter can be regarded as a child's matter, and it is also her responsibility.

In fact, at this age, after experiencing so many things, she no longer cares about Yumeiren's words.

When she was young, she and Ye Jinghao were both too egoistic. They loved each other but didn't trust each other, so they hurt each other. The two missed a lot and misunderstood a lot.

But now, she wants to understand.

The past cannot be traced back, everything must look forward.

"Don't worry, Yumei, I will definitely give you and Duanyi justice." The queen's tone was gentle, unhurried: "I have already sent someone to investigate Jiang Consort's hometown. Those children are indeed Jiang Consort. It's just that that woman is not Jiang Consort's wife."

"What do you mean by your mother's words?" Yumei asked softly with puzzled eyes.

The queen said indifferently: "That woman was once Jiang Consort's concubine, a concubine, how can she be called his wife."

Yu Meiren's beautiful eyes were full of shock: "Isn't Jiang Concubine's hometown poor and his parents died early? How can he have the money to buy an outside room?"

"If the family is really poor, how can there be money for Prince Jiang to study for more than ten years?" The queen smiled lightly, her tone not without irony: "Although Prince Jiang's parents died early, he grew up in the uncle's house with a good family background. .His uncle's family has been in business for generations, and none of the children in the family are educated, so naturally they will focus on training him."

"Since Jiang Shimei is the No. [-] scholar and was given a marriage to Duanyi, his family background should naturally be checked clearly. It won't be impossible to find out such important things as having a wife."

As for his outer room and children, they should also be able to find out.

It's just why the people sent by the court didn't find it.

A new top scholar has won the favor of the princess, and his future is boundless. He came to buy him personally, and few people were not tempted.

And I probably also felt that it was just an outside room, with a bad name and tens of thousands of miles away from the capital, and I was afraid that it would take me a lifetime to enter the capital, and it would cause some disturbances, so I kept it a secret.

It's just that the paper couldn't keep the fire, and after all, something happened.

Yumei was silent for a while after listening to the queen's words, and then said: "Although it is only an outsider, Jiang Shimei has committed the crime of deceiving the emperor. Madam, how do you plan to deal with him?"
