Phoenix Queen

The night is as cold as water, and the moon is as cold as ice. Yi Shangguo is sitting by the dry well in the courtyard of Huanyin Pavilion. This dry well was originally without water. The thin water is just enough to reflect Yishanguo's beautiful face in the well water.

Looking down at the Blue Cherry Kodan in his hand, Yi Shangguo shook his head, and then stroked his bare hands to his face. This concubine, who was usually extremely domineering, was so quiet now that even the light in his eyes had faded. Going on... She always occupies her family background and the emperor's favor, and no one pays attention to her. However, the conversation with Jing Feng at the posthouse suddenly made her understand that everything she owns is so weak. A person can easily take away everything from her and Yi's family with just raising his hand and lowering his head, including the military talisman that his uncle regards as more important than life... Maybe, to that person, it is just an object that can be given as a gift at will.

Looking at the reflection in the dry well, Yi Shanguo stared at herself so calmly. If she was smart enough, then...she should do everything possible to consolidate the power of the Yi family and make it solid, even that person can't take it at will. Let's go, and... She should also get rid of the same feelings as ordinary women, after all, that person is more the emperor than her husband.

During the day, Yi Shanguo saw a side of herself in Ran Qing. If she didn't restrain that affection, sooner or later...she would become the second Ran Qing.

"Why?" Seeing himself reflected in the water, Yi Shanguo Qichen asked slowly, not knowing whether she was asking about the emperor's ruthlessness or his own passion.

"Young lady!" Lan Wu sighed leisurely.Seeing that Yishanguo's clothes were a little thin, he couldn't help but put the ermine fur in his hand on Yishanguo's body, covering the flourishing blue cherry blossoms all over his body.

"Go down!" Lan Wu sent away all the maids guarding the courtyard of Huanyin Pavilion. After the courtyard was emptied, Lan Wu took a few steps to the dry well, facing Yi Shanguo's and whispering said something.

The plain hand that was holding the edge of the dry well suddenly exerted force, and even the phalanges protruded. Yi Shanguo frowned, and stood up suddenly from the dry well. "real?"

"Of course it's true!" Lan Wu nodded again and again, seeing that Yi Shangguo's face was not very friendly, she said puzzledly, "However, no matter who it is, the goal has been achieved. Shouldn't the empress be happy?"

Yi Shanguo took a deep breath, and stretched out his hand to seize the mink fur collar, "Happy? Lan Wu... Do you know that His Majesty is definitely not an ordinary person, and more concealment will only make him more confused. "

"No!" Lan Wu was taken aback for a while, and then laughed again after a while. "Your Majesty, you are worrying too much. Didn't Your Majesty give Ran Qing the same death?"

Yi Shanguo sneered slightly.No more answers, her thoughts on Jing Feng are so deep, that's why... she can see his heart more deeply, and because of this, she will feel more... fear!

Lan Wu was about to say something, when the maid who was guarding outside the hall suddenly ran in, "Mother...the people from Jierni's family are coming, do you need a servant to stop them?"

Yi Shanguo frowned.There was obvious displeasure on her face, "What is she doing here? I don't want to see her. Let me block it."

"Yo!" Ying Ping's voice was lively and bright, and compared with the relatively low Yishan Guo at the moment, he immediately looked younger, "You want to block Bengong, but what should I do... Bengong still came in."

Yi Shanguo glanced at Ying Ping indifferently, waved his hand, and signaled the little maid who had just informed to leave.

"Sister, don't you ask what Ping'er is here for?" Pulling the purple clothes, Ying Ping unceremoniously entered Yi Shangguo's room, lifted the crispy snack inside and ate it.

"You can say it if you want, or you don't want to say it!" Yi Shanguo's sadness and fragility disappeared in an instant, and all that remained was a hard defense. Occasionally, she would say a few words to this opponent from birth To tell the truth, but Yi Shanguo will never forget that they will always be rivals.

Giggling a few times, Ying Ping continued to eat the crispy pastry, "Good sister, do you think it might be poisonous?" After a pause, Ying Ping swallowed the remaining pastry in one gulp, "But it's also It doesn't matter, anyway, there is no wound on Bengong's body, even if it is poisonous, it doesn't matter if you think about it, after all... Bengong is not Xia Ying!"

"What are you talking about? Bengong can't understand a single word." The flourishing blue cherry blossoms on Yisanguo's body were blown by the wind, and her face didn't fluctuate at all. "Yingping, why are you talking so eerie? I'm interested in playing dumb with you."

"Really?" Ying Ping blinked innocently, like a 15-year-old girl who is curious about everything, "Is my sister really not understanding? This is weird!"

Yi Shanguo sneered, and tightened the mink on his collar, "It's late at night, if you have nothing to do, you can leave, Lan Wu will see you off!" As he said, Yi Shangguo had already walked towards the cabinet, "Ben Gong wants to rest!"

Before Yi Shangguo could move away, Ying Ping suddenly stretched out his hand, blocking Yi Shangguo's path, "Sister, Ran Qing is dead, Xia Ying was poisoned today, I heard it was Ran Qingshang's poison."

"Really?" Yi Shanguo hid his smile, and his tone was a little low, "Ran Concubine is also a confused master."

Ying Ping nodded approvingly, "Ran Qing is indeed confused, but... she was confused because she was blamed by her sister."

Hearing this, Yi Shanguo suddenly became fierce, and his tone was much worse than before, "Ying Ping...do you want to put all the crimes on Ben Gong now? Ben Gong didn't know it from you until now. The queen has been poisoned."

"Tsk tsk!" Ying Ping clicked his tongue, "My sister really acted like this! Others don't know, but Ping'er met my sister outside the imperial pharmacy."

"Lan Wu sees off the guests!" Yi Shangguo looked into Ying Ping's eyes and raised his head to point to Jing Ping's face, "From now on, anyone who dares to put this person in the Huanyin Pavilion will go to the Punishment Department by himself." 'Receive the reward well'" Yi Shanguo said the last few words very loudly, almost uttered in a shouting voice, she obviously wanted to let everyone inside and outside the Huanyin Pavilion hear this will.

Ying Ping looked around for a while, "Ah! Sister, why are all the palace people outside the door, could it be that Sister and Lan Wu are talking about something shameful! If Ping'er guesses, you must be talking about Ran Qing! "Yingping approached Yi Shangguo, lowered his voice and said in Yi Shangguo's ear, "Sister, do you feel cold, do you know? Ran Qing died wearing a red dress and red shoes. Will you go to the person who framed her?"

Hearing such words, Yi Shangguo didn't show any emotion on his face, "Maybe!" Looking into Ying Ping's eyes, Yi Shang Guo asked back, "Ying Ping, are you afraid? Look, Ran Qing is standing behind you !"

Ying Ping saw Ran Qing die with her own eyes, and... not long ago, when Yi Shangguo said this, Ying Ping suddenly remembered her eyes that couldn't be closed no matter how hard she pressed them, and immediately trembled.

This action fell into the eyes of Yi Shangguo, she smiled calmly, "You see, only those with evil intentions will be afraid, I think...the one who poisoned Xia Ying is indeed someone else!"

Ying Ping was so blocked by Yi Shangguo that he didn't know what to say, so he clenched his fists and looked at Yi Shangguo bitterly, "Sister has a sharp mouth and eloquent teeth, I can't beat you!"

"..." Yi Shangguo once again gestured to see off the guests, but Ying Ping still didn't move, and just continued, "When Xia Ying was injured, you obviously went earlier than Bengong, and you saw her swallowing fire. Ganoderma lucidum, she is expected to suffer from fever and cold, so she must need a quilt, so you went to the House of Internal Affairs to prepare a quilt... You hid outside the imperial pharmacy, so no one saw you except Bengong... You thought you were Haven't appeared before, so there is no suspicion?" Ying Ping said slowly, "After everything is done, you know that you have to find a substitute for the dead ghost, and it happened that Ran Qing was given Bai Ling again, and she even showed her love for Xia in public. Sakura's hatred, you know that no one is more suitable than Ran Qing for the role of the dead ghost, so you bought Yanlou and asked her to steal Ran Qing's pearl flowers, and when Xia Ying is poisoned... When His Majesty starts to investigate, you Then he killed Yanlou, put Ran Qing's bead flower in Yanlou's hands, and completed the whole process of setting the blame!"

Yi Shangguo listened, and yawned, "No wonder I heard people in the palace say that your Jinyu Palace seldom takes up operas recently. It turns out...you wrote the script yourself. It's wonderful. The play is wonderfully written... If you really doubt it, go to His Majesty and tell him your story."

In the harem, only Ying Ping is the best at listening to operas. This was originally a hobby for elderly women, but... Ying Ping is different. She can even occasionally write scripts for opera singers to sing. It is already a fact that everyone in the palace knows, "I guarantee that if my sister writes this play well and sings it, it will be full of applause!"

Ying Ping gritted her teeth, she was already sure that it was Yi Shangguo who did it, but she never expected that Yi Shanguo would act so calmly, without any trace of panic, as if she had never done anything .

"..." Ying Ping's complexion changed several times, almost wanting to curse, but, as if thinking of something, Ying Ping held back all of it, and instead put on a beautiful smile, "Forget it, Ran Qing's death ...There is no result to pursue any further, but it's a pity that such a poison could almost kill Xia Ying." As he spoke, Ying Ping's tone was particularly regretful, "It's only a little bit short, but it still made her suffer. alive."

Yi Shanguo was silent and did not speak, and his gaze fell on Yingping's body with some exploration.

"Alas...Actually, I don't like Xia Ying either! She has one daughter and two husbands, but brother Jing still calls her queen!" Ying Ping walked up to Yi Shangguo, "Look, I called you My sister has been calling me for so many years, why don't you and I let go of our hatred for now, and make up for Xia Ying's shortcomings, look... how about it?"

Yi Shanguo pulled his lips and smiled back, "You leave quickly, I will take it as such... I have never heard of it before!" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation, Monthly ticket, your support is my biggest motivation.)
