Pretending to be jealous in the arms of Dali Temple

Chapter 172 Ask them
The maid's footsteps came from outside the window, Concubine Yi smiled heartily when she heard Wan Yan's words.

"It's a little girl, what can I say? Wan Yan, have you always been so straightforward, or is it because you hold the emperor's jade pendant in your hand, that you are full of confidence?"

In addition to the footsteps outside the window, Wan Yan could also smell the familiar incense in the palace.

The little girl lowered her eyes: "Madam, I have been in the Jiaofang Division for two years. There are good and bad between sisters. I don't understand the words that Madam said about the cannibal harem, but I know that where there are people, there are disputes. "

Concubine Yi raised her watery eyes, showing disbelief and a hint of inquiry.

"What do you think?"

"Your Majesty, there is nothing you can do in this environment. No matter whether you blame the sky or the land, you can't change anything. I think that if people respect me, I will respect others. If someone offends me, I will definitely not be able to."

Concubine Yi had an admiring smile on her lips: "I never thought you would be able to say such words at such a young age."

"Then did my words impress the empress?" Wan Yan smiled and looked directly into Concubine Yi's eyes.

"I have a lot of dissatisfaction hidden in my heart, but I have nowhere to say it."

"When the case is solved, the daughter of the people is willing to listen to my mother's teaching."

Concubine Yi stared into Wan Yan's eyes, and closed her smile for a while: "I want to see you bewildered, flustered, and asking me for help without a clue, it seems that I failed, Wan Yan, don't forget what you promised me .”

Wan Yan was stunned: "Are you agreeing to come and talk with your mother?"

Concubine Yi nodded: "Although I like you, I have always thought about it. Now I accept you from the bottom of my heart, Wan Yan. You must come to the palace to see me in the future."

"Your Majesty, let me tell you the truth, if the case is solved, I may not enter the palace again."

Wan Yan knew it was wrong to say this at this juncture, but she didn't want to deceive Concubine Yi.

She was afraid that Concubine Yi was using this as a bargaining chip in exchange for clues.

But without saying anything, Wan Yan couldn't pass her own test.

Unexpectedly, Concubine Yi smiled and told Wanyan instead: "Don't worry, the emperor will reward you when you get the painting back. When the time comes, you will have to enter and exit the Funing Hall's hand card. How about it?"

Wan Yan leaned back: "Of course that's good, but the top priority is to solve the case, and the empress also knows that if the time comes and the case is not solved, my lord will be arrested and imprisoned."

"Is there such a thing?" Concubine Yi smiled, and finally no longer had the unrelated expression just now.

Wan Yan breathed out, "Ma'am, can you tell the truth now?"

"It's nothing, the same sentence, Wan Yan, I didn't take the painting away."

The footsteps of the maids outside the palace became heavier, Concubine Yi turned to look at the maids behind her.

The maid took the order and walked out quickly.

The Palace of Funing fell into silence, and Concubine Yi said in a low voice: "Wan Yan, the reason why I begged the emperor to open the Qianqing Palace is to see my grandmother."

Wan Yan thought of the old lady Zhen Guogong sitting next to her at the palace banquet.

"Yes, she will be by your side during the palace banquet."

Seeing Wanyan's surprised expression, Concubine Yi slowly said: "I was in the Zhen Guogong's mansion before I entered the palace. My grandmother loved me the most, but I have been in the palace for 20 years. Except for the New Year's Day, I hardly have the opportunity to reunite with my family."

Concubine Yi's eyes sparkled: "Do you think it's unimaginable? That's right, the last time I saw my grandmother was during the Ghost Festival. I just took a look from afar. At other times, I miss her."

Wan Yan didn't think it was the reason at all, "So the empress had planned to meet the old lady of the Duke of Zhen's mansion, and had planned to open the Qianqing Palace?"

"Yes."

"Who else knows the idea?"

Concubine Yi thought about it: "No one should know."

"Your Majesty, it shouldn't be like this. Think about it again. This is related to the nature of the loss of the entire painting. If someone has evil intentions, this is a key clue."

Wan Yan shook her head: "Your Majesty didn't tell anyone?"

Concubine Yi looked outside the palace door: "There are only a few personal maids, but I can trust them."

Wan Yan showed her small teeth: "If the empress doesn't mind, let's ask them?"

　Dear friends, it is very busy before the holiday. If there is no update some day, we will make up for it during the holiday.
