Empress, she is rising step by step

Chapter 56 Searching Weiyang Palace (Babys, please vote for me)

"I've heard about it too, and I'm worried about it day and night. A few days ago, I went to Yongfu Palace with Shen Xiurong to see the imperial concubine. The imperial concubine was obviously a lot less energetic. Fortunately, the imperial concubine and the emperor's heir in her belly were gone. Something happened."

Wen Yuanyuan held a round fan with embroidered pomegranate, cat and butterfly patterns in her hand. The mahogany fan handle was gently held in her hand. Her fingertips were glowing with a faint pink color. Her slender fingers were as white as green onion and strong. The red contrasts beautifully.

"I have been in the palace for many years, but I have never heard of any wild cats in the palace. How could it suddenly appear and bump into the imperial concubine? I guess there must be something dirty and dirty in it."

"Wenmei said it just in time. Someone found the copper basin for feeding the beast in the Weiyang Palace area, so the emperor ordered his slaves to inspect the Weiyang Palace area. First, to see if there are other wild cats, and second, if they can find anything. Something strange."

Eunuch Song folded his sleeves and said, "This servant is offended. Let them check your bedroom, Wenmei. If there is anything not thoughtful, I hope Wenmei is not as knowledgeable as a servant."

"You are also obeying orders, so why should I embarrass you? However, there are some pieces of porcelain in my house that were awarded by the emperor. The precious ones do not listen and have not even used them to arrange flowers properly. My father-in-law needs to tell them to be careful with their hands. Don't worry. You touched me."

Eunuch Song repeatedly promised that Wen Yuanyuan would ask his personal maid Mengzhu to lead the palace people into Zhuimian Hall. She covered her face with a round fan, leaned close to Eunuch Song and whispered.

"My father-in-law will have to send someone to search Cao Baolin's house later. I often see her sneaking out. I bumped into her once, and she felt guilty. It can be seen that there is a ghost living in her heart. The matter of the emperor's heir. It should not be underestimated. If father-in-law can catch the owner of that beast, wouldn’t it be a great achievement?”

Eunuch Song's eyes lit up. If it is true as Wen Meiren said, if he can catch the cat owner, he will not only gain face in front of the Holy Master, but he may also be promoted to a higher level.

"My slave is not interested in merit or deeds. I just want to serve the Emperor well. No matter who makes the Emperor unhappy, I, a slave, will not respond."

Yueran saw Wen Yuanyuan and Eunuch Song murmuring. As she spoke, she looked over, obviously speaking ill of her master, and she couldn't help but feel uneasy.

Cao Wenxi also vaguely heard the conversation outside. She came to the door and saw Mengzhu leading the palace people out.

Eunuch Song coughed and led the people straight to Cao Wenxi. He did not salute and say hello, but just stared at Cao Wenxi with his triangular eyes.

"Under the emperor's order, my servants are searching the area around Weiyang Palace and the residences of the empresses. Don't be afraid, Cao Baolin. The servants will just hand over the orders after the search."

Cao Wenxi's heart tightened, and he suddenly remembered what Yan Qingshu said at noon in Qifeng Palace. When he saw Wen Yuanyuan following behind him with an expression that was half-smiling but not smiling, he became increasingly uneasy.

"Cao Baolin, what are you doing at the door? This is the emperor's order, asking Eunuch Song to search the Weiyang Palace area and find the cat owner. You are trying to stop Eunuch Song."

Cao Wenxi had no such intention at all. How could she dare to disobey the emperor's will? Furthermore, she has never done anything like this before. She is not afraid of the shadows slanting when she is upright. If she tries to stop him from doing anything, it will make her feel guilty.

"What did the beautiful lady say? I didn't say anything. The beauty could see so many thoughts from my concubine's face. It's really amazing."

Cao Wenxi had always been gentle and gentle to Wen Yuanyuan in the past, and did not dare to speak loudly. Now he actually dared to contradict her in front of Eunuch Song, and her expression changed slightly.

"Cao Baolin is really sharp-tongued. It seems that his honest appearance in the past was all just an act. Since you have no intention of stopping me, what are you doing at the door? Can you afford to waste Eunuch Song's time?"

Cao Wenxi pursed her lips tightly and could only step aside after hearing the words.

Eunuch Song glanced at the people under his command. The leading eunuch nodded understandingly and led the rest of the palace servants into the room, wiping Cao Wenxi's clothes.

Cao Wenxi was squeezed and took a step back. Yueran hurriedly supported her, following them with angrily eyes. There was the sound of rummaging through boxes and cabinets in the room. Cao Wenxi's expression changed slightly. She turned around and saw that all the cabinets, candlesticks and bedding had been thrown to the ground.

Yueran saw that the piece of loose-flowered silk was also casually discarded on the ground. She felt distressed and ran over to pick it up and pat the dust off it.

Eunuch Song glanced at Cao Wenxi from the corner of his eyes. She stood expressionless, with only a thin piece of her body wrapped in a green, chest-length skirt, with her back straight.

Eunuch Song clasped his hands and said, "Please be careful with your hands and feet. If you break Cao Baolin's things, I'll cut your skin carefully."

The palace attendants responded with their mouths, but instead of relaxing, the movements of their hands became even more intense.

The palace servant who had deliberately rubbed Cao Wenxi just now opened the dressing table and casually discarded the few steps and hairpins inside on the ground.

Then he made a movement, leaned over and took out a paper bag from the bottom of the dressing table.

Cao Wenxi only felt cold on his back, and his limbs could not stop feeling cold.

The palace man came to Eunuch Song, stretched out his hand and handed the paper package to him.

Eunuch Song raised his eyebrows and asked, "Cao Baolin, what is this?"

Cao Wenxi shook his head and pursed his lips, "I don't know, this is not my thing."

Wen Yuanyuan sneered when he heard this, "I found it in your dressing table. Whose does it belong to if it's not yours? Could it be that someone put it in for you on purpose? There are people in this room who are waiting for you, and there are outsiders. Can’t you find it when you come in?”

Cao Wenxi raised his head and looked straight at Wen Yuanyuan, his eyes locked tightly with her with resentment.

It was her, she must have done it! ! If she hadn't done it, she wouldn't have followed in, and she had just been whispering to Eunuch Song.

But why did she do this? There was no dispute between them, and she had always wanted to be friends with her. Even if she looked down on her origin and disdained to associate with her, she just ignored her.

Why did she want to harm her?

Wen Yuanyuan seemed to be shocked by her eyes, and her smile unconsciously faded a bit.

Why is this damn girl looking so scary? Huh, but I only have a few days left to live, so I’ll just let her do it once!

"But we don't know yet what this thing is. It may be some kind of tonic. Eunuch Song must find out and clear Cao Baolin's name."

"Don't worry, Wenmei. I used to be a clerk in Shang Yao Bureau, and I still know some simple medicines."

Eunuch Song opened the paper bag and found some pink powder inside, which had an extremely strong fragrance. He came closer and smelled it, and suddenly his expression changed drastically.

Wen Yuanyuan also frowned and covered her nose with a fan, "What on earth is this? It smells so good and the color is beautiful. It seems like some kind of improper spice."
