Queen is fearless

Chapter 187 Trouble
Jiang Zhaohua stood where he was, looking at the back of Lin Jieyu who could be called fleeing in a hurry, frowning slightly.

"Zhishu, go check it out." After ordering, Jiang Zhaohua took another look at Lin Jieyu's back before leaving with Zhihua.

"Master, walk slowly, and be careful not to fall!" Although the roads in the palace were swept by someone and there was no ice left on the ground, it was a small road, so it was inevitable that there would be places that were not swept.

If you step on it, if you are not careful, you may be slipped.

Qiuyue followed behind Lin Jieyu, a little puzzled by her master.

Lin Jieyu walked in front, even though Qiuyue was shouting behind her, she did not intend to slow down at all until she returned to Qingqiu Pavilion.

After entering the room, she poured herself a glass of water and drank it quickly. It seemed that it was not enough to quench her thirst. She poured another glass, but because she drank too quickly, she choked and coughed continuously.

Qiuyue came in from outside the house, heard a cough, and hurried forward, patted Lin Jieyu's back to comfort her.

"Master, what's wrong with you?" The master's abnormality made Qiuyue very worried.

After a while, Lin Jieyu's cough finally stopped. She sat down, a little dazed.

"Master, what happened? Why did you suddenly..."

Qiuyue knelt down and looked up at Lin Jieyu's eyes. There was still a bit of shock in her eyes.

"Qiuyue, I'm afraid it's us who got into trouble..." Just when Qiuyue was about to speak again, Lin Jieyu finally spoke out and said slowly.

What she said made Qiuyue puzzled, "Master, what do you mean by that?"

trouble?What trouble?Ever since their master was demoted and Yingchun died, they have been in the Qingqiu Pavilion and seldom go out.

Even if something happens when I go out, I try my best to endure it, so as not to cause more trouble, except...except for the humiliation, the master couldn't hold back.

Another one is that when Concubine Dong returns to the palace this time, some things will happen to the master from time to time.

But these things... What's the trouble?

"Do you still remember that when the new couple just entered the palace, we went out to visit the garden, and I was humiliated?"

Lin Jieyu spoke again to explain Qiuyue's confusion. After hearing her finish, Qiuyue nodded.

"I was so angry at the time, I told you to do something, do you still remember?"

Yingchun is dead, and Qiuyue is the only person by Lin Jieyu's side who can be trusted.

Whenever there is something, she will leave it to Qiuyue.

"Let this servant think about it carefully." Several months have passed, even if she has a good memory, she still has to think about it.

Lin Jieyu didn't urge her. Thinking of the meeting just now, Jiang Zhaohua's name for the court lady, and thinking of other things, her face became more serious.

"My servant remembered that we met Wen Xiuyuan in the garden, the maid beside her, who helped her humiliate the master together."

"My master was angry, and asked my servant to make some arrangements. The servant persuaded you, but you were very angry at the time. Later, because of the arrangement of the servant, you helped Wen Xiuyuan humiliate your court lady before. You violated Wen Xiuyuan's taboo and were dismissed."

"Afterwards, the little maid who will replace her is called Dongqing, and she belongs to us."

While reminiscing, Qiuyue was talking, and when she finished speaking, the expression on her face also changed.

"Holly... Dongqing... that palace lady just now is by Wen Xiuyuan's side, also called Dongqing, but...but she..."

That's not what Holly looks like, Qiuyue is sure, although the two are about the same size, their looks are completely different from their appearance.

Of course, ordinary people may not notice it, because there are too many palace people in this harem, and no one can fully remember their names and appearances.

In the past, there were incidents of impersonation. At that time, the first emperor was only a prince. It is said that there was a lot of trouble back then, and many people were implicated.

"Master, that court lady is not Dongqing!" Looking at Lin Jieyu, Qiuyue's tone showed a little panic.

"Yes, she's not Holly. No wonder there's been no news for so long. I'm afraid our Holly has already been cleaned up..."

Nodding her head, at this moment, Lin Jieyu's mood has stabilized a lot.

"But... even if Dongqing is taken care of, it shouldn't... and there shouldn't be an impostor? How brave is Wen Xiuyuan? If she is found out..."

"What if no one knows? What if others think that this Holly is Holly? What if those who know are also punished?"

Interrupting Qiuyue's words, Lin Jieyu said a few ifs in succession, and each time she said one, Qiuyue's face became whiter.

After Lin Jieyu finished speaking, Qiuyue's face turned pale, and she couldn't imagine the "if" that the master said.

If it really happened, wouldn't it be... no wonder, the master said, they might get into trouble...

"Don't be too scared. Maybe Wen Xiuyuan didn't know that the former Dongqing was sent by us. As long as she doesn't know, we are safe."

It can be seen from this that Wen Xiuyuan is not a fuel-efficient lamp. If she knows that the former Dongqing belongs to her, just to be on the safe side, it will be disadvantageous to her and Qiuyue.

Only when they are gone, Holly is not Holly's secret, will it remain a secret, after all, dead people can't speak.

After listening to the master's words, Qiuyue nodded. Now, she can only look forward to this.

Handing over the account books and rice paper for recording to Jiang Zhaohua, Dongqing returned to Zhongcui Palace.

Wen Xiuyuan was sitting at the desk practicing calligraphy. In the censer in the hall, incense was burning, which was arranged by herself.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Wen Xiuyuan didn't look up, but only asked a few words, and Dongqing answered them one by one.

"When the servant handed over the account book and rice paper to Jiang Zhaohua, she saw Lin Jieyu." Thinking of just now, Dongqing spoke again.

"Lin Jieyu? If I remember correctly, the relationship between her and Jiang Zhaohua is not very good."

Although she only entered the palace this year, she knows many things in the palace.

"Ms. Hui, it's true. When Lin Jieyu was Lin Concubine, she made things difficult for Jiang Zhaohua many times. The slaves heard that Jiang Zhaohua's elder brother was abolished by the Lin family."

"My servant reckoned that with such a deep hatred, even if Jiang Zhaohua didn't fight to the death with Lin Jieyu, he wouldn't have a good relationship with Lin Jieyu. It must have happened on the road."

When she was walking along the path, she saw some flowers blooming well. She guessed that Lin Jieyu was going to enjoy the flowers, while Jiang Zhaohua was passing by.

"En." Wen Xiuyuan replied, not taking it seriously, but heard Dongqing's voice again.

"When my servant left, I took a special look at Lin Jieyu. For some reason, my servant always felt that Lin Jieyu's expression was a bit weird. It seemed that it was because of this servant, but it could also be because of other things..."
