Wu Qingyue bit her lip and said pitifully: "Cousin, what I tell is the truth. If you don't believe me, just ask Caihe."

Zhou Xinghao stared at her for a long time. Nothing but grievance and pity could be seen on her beautiful face.

There were a few crystal tears hanging on Wu Qingyue's eyelashes, which made me feel pity for him.

Zhou Xinghao looked away, "I misunderstood you, don't blame me."

"How could it be?" Wu Qingyue held his wrist, "As long as the misunderstanding is resolved, how can I blame my cousin?"

Zhou Xinghao smiled elegantly, "By the way, didn't you say you prepared soup for me?"

Wu Qingyue breathed a complete sigh of relief, took Zhou Xinghao's arm and walked out.

Before leaving, he kept his eye on Caihe.

Caihe shrank her neck and did not follow.

After Wu Qingyue took Zhou Xinghao out, Caihe quickly rolled up the painting and carefully put it in the innermost shelf.

Wu Qingyue used gentle and carefree methods to keep Zhou Xinghao here.

Late at night, even in his sleep, Wu Qingyue had a smile on her lips.

Listening to the regular breathing in his ears, Zhou Xinghao impatiently took Wu Qingyue's arm away from his body.

Get up and walk outside.

Tonight, he deliberately did not keep anyone vigil, so the yard was quiet.

He stood in the yard for a while, and then his confidant Jin Yong came over, holding the painting that Caihe Haosheng had put away.

Zhou Xinghao didn't even look at it, he just said: "Be sure to finish the painting tonight."

"Yes." Jin Yong disappeared into the night.

Zhou Xinghao stood in the yard for a long time, until a layer of moisture formed on his body before he went back to the house.

On the second day, Wu Qingyue got up early and helped Zhou Xinghao change clothes.

After a night of lingering, Wu Qingyue's cheeks were still pink like peach blossoms, bright and attractive.

While sorting out Zhou Xinghao's belongings, Wu Qingyue held the sachet embroidered with mandarin ducks playing in the water, her eyes darkening.

She naturally knew from her eyeliner that this sachet was made by Sulan Yan.

Her eyes darkened, she calmly put the sachet back on the tray, and took another sachet embroidered with green pine.

Zhou Xinghao frowned and moved away.

Wu Qingyue hung her hands in the air, was stunned for a moment, and explained with a smile: "Your Majesty, this sachet contains concentration spices. If you feel irritable, it is good to pick it up and smell it."

Zhou Xinghao narrowed his long and narrow eyes, took out the sachet placed on the tray with his big hand, and tied it on himself.

Wu Qingyue's hand holding the sachet trembled slightly, "My lord, do you like this sachet so much? Can I embroider another one for you? It will be more in line with your identity if you embroider it with a yellow background. The color of this sachet is The color scheme is really annoying for me."

"No need." Zhou Xinghao went out while adjusting his sleeves, unwilling to say more to Wu Qingyue.

Wu Qingyue chased him for a few steps, but when he reached the yard, Zhou Xinghao's figure had long since disappeared.

Wu Qingyue sighed and went back to the house.

Wu Qingyue sat down and asked, "Has the painting been put away?"

Caihe said hurriedly: "It's been put away."

Wu Qingyue hummed, "You can go pick out some famous calligraphy and paintings from the bookshelf later and send them to the palace together with the paintings."

Originally, they were waiting to greet Concubine Wu in a few days, and they were brought into the palace together.

But she really couldn't wait any longer.

Caihe responded and called two more maids to come in, and the three of them went to get things together.

The famous calligraphy and paintings were wrapped in red cloth, and Caihe personally took people to send them to the palace.

Unfortunately, Concubine Wu was in the Queen Mother's palace when she sent it.So she could only put down her things, and Caihe left the palace.

In addition to Concubine Wu Guifei, Fang Yunyun was also in the Queen Mother's palace.

Fang Yunyun is the granddaughter of the Queen Mother's direct brother, so she is naturally more affectionate than others.

Concubine Wu Guifei sat aside and praised her from time to time, "Yunyun is much better than the other ladies from my concubine's family. But why hasn't Yunyun decided to get married yet?"

Fang Yunyun was not like an ordinary lady. When she heard this, she said seriously: "Unless it's someone I like, I won't marry."

The Queen Mother said angrily: "How can any girl talk about whether she likes her or not? Are you ashamed?"

Concubine Wu said: "Yunyun is true-hearted, but do you think you have someone you like? If you tell me, the Queen Mother will definitely make the decision for you."

Of course Fang Yunyun knew that as long as she said it, the Queen Mother would definitely ask for a marriage decree for her, so that she could get married in a glorious way.

In this way, no matter whether that person has her in his heart or not, he must marry her.

However, such behavior is really not an aboveboard method.

She doesn't bother using her power to oppress others.

Fang Yunyun said: "I have someone I like, and I will definitely tell my aunt, but it's not the time yet."

The Queen Mother knew that she had big ideas and a strong temper, so she didn't press her.

By the time Concubine Wu returned from the Queen Mother's place, it was already evening.

The palace maid told her that Wu Qingyue sent someone to bring calligraphy and paintings.

Concubine Wu was startled, and then she entered the palace in three steps at a time. As she walked, she ordered: "Bring the painting, and you all can go out. Just let the housemaid take care of her."

"Yes."

Aunt Fang opened the painting and looked at it with Concubine Wu.

There are three women in the painting, whom Wu Qingyue and Su Lanyan have seen before.

So both of their eyes focused on another strange woman.

The woman in the painting has gentle eyebrows and a demure expression. She does look a bit like Miss Meng back then.

However, they are only similar in expression, but their facial features are completely different from Meng Xueyi's, and there is no similarity at all.

Meng Xueyi's delicate facial features are like the softness of a gentle lady holding an umbrella in the misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River.

The facial features of the woman in the painting are rougher.

The two of them looked away, disappointed but also relieved.

Aunt Fang smiled and said, "I feel at ease now. Princess Lu was wrong."

Concubine Wu smiled and said: "It's just a false alarm. Just put this painting away."

"Yes."

Although she felt relieved, Concubine Wu still remained vigilant about the Meng family case.

More and more people in the court presented memorials, talking about the grievances of the Meng family and wanting to rectify the case for the Meng family.

Then the newly appointed head of Dali Temple issued a memorial stating the above-mentioned ten crimes of the Meng family.

This memorial reminded everyone again why the Meng family was ransacked in the first place.

Because of this memorial, most of the people who spoke and pleaded for the Meng family were instantly reduced.

Things in the court could not be concealed and spread out.

Mrs. Su had always been concerned about the Meng family's affairs, and even Shen Yunjiao knew about it.

Although Shen Yunjiao didn't know the relationship between Mrs. Su and the Meng family, she also developed some different feelings for the Meng family because of Mrs. Su's attitude towards the Meng family.

Therefore, after learning about the memorial in the court, Shen Yunjiao felt very aggrieved.
