From now on, the Son of Heaven does not come early

Chapter 484 Wrap a Big Gift for the Empress

So she unscrupulously picked up a piece of plum cake, took a big bite, and then narrowed her eyes in satisfaction, um, delicious!

Smacking her lips, she swallowed a whole piece of plum cake, Ye Xiaoxiao picked up another piece, and wanted to eat it, but was stopped by Lin Lanzhi: "Don't eat it, I'm going to have dinner later."

Ye Xiaoxiao just smiled, licked her fingers, and reluctantly let go of the pastry.

Nangong Ren started to get rid of Gu worms in the harem. Although he didn't know if such worms really entered the palace, just to be on the safe side, he personally distributed the medicine brought back by Abbot Fayuan to each palace and courtyard, and asked every Every room must be fumigated with dried moxa to prevent future troubles.

It's just that the murder case in the harem is very mysterious, no matter how you investigate it, it's still confusing.

There are beasts?That is naturally impossible, but even Qiu Weiyun, who was born in Dali Temple, can't understand it. If wild beasts can appear in the heavily guarded palace, wouldn't Chang'an in the Western Jin Dynasty be in danger everywhere?But since it's not a wild beast, if the murderer is a human being, why can he be gnawed like this?It's just horrible!

So Qiu Weiyun changed the direction and started to find out which palace the two maids belonged to. It happened that Zhu Yunbi dragged Xiaohuan out to inquire about the news. The one on my young lady's side was sent by her to check on the situation with the concubine Defei that day, but he never came back, and she didn't bother to check if she wanted to take care of the young lady.

So when she saw Qiu Weiyun being questioned by another person, she quickly turned around, returned to Zhu Yunbi's side, and told her everything she discovered today.

Zhu Yunbi was taken aback, then looked up at Xiaohuan: "Are you sure?"

"Miss, it's absolutely true. That person is from our palace. I sent him to visit Empress Defei, but he never came back."

Zhu Yunbi frowned, as if kicking a dozen buckets in her heart, up and down.

Could it be related to sister Ying'er?No, it's impossible, it's very likely that an assassin did it...

After Zhu Yunbi thought about it, she finally dispelled her doubts about Wang Ying.

Sister Ying'er was born in a famous family, and she is more gentle and polite than herself. She is determined not to do such beastly behaviors as biting people into a mess.

Letting go of her mind, Zhu Yunbi's complexion improved slightly, and after calculating that it was almost time, she went to Wang Ying's side, planning to go to Weiyang Palace together for dinner, but as soon as she entered, she found that someone had already stepped in first.

Meng Jiaoen sat where she usually sat, chatting happily with Wang Ying, the two of them were very close to each other, whispering to each other, as if the two of them were good sisters.

Zhu Yunbi frowned, glared fiercely at Meng Jiaoen, walked slowly to the other side, and sat down.

The two looked back at her, Wang Ying smiled and said: "It's just in time, I was about to send someone to call you, let's go!"

After finishing speaking, she stood up first, and Meng Jiaoen followed behind her, but was pushed aside by Zhu Yunbi fiercely.

Zhu Yunbi told Meng Jiaoen with her own eyes that this seat is hers, as for you, newcomer, go behind the queue!
With a cold snort, Zhu Yunbi followed Wang Ying proudly and left, but Meng Jiaoen, who has always been cowardly and kind, did not show any cowardice or grievance at this moment, but silently patted Zhu Yunbi Where he reached, he followed behind Wang Ying with a blank expression on his face.

In the side hall of Weiyang Palace, there were Xiuyi who came early and were already sitting around their seats in twos and threes. Suddenly they looked up and saw Wang Ying walking in. Everyone quickly got up and saluted. When they looked up, they saw Meng Jiaoen also followed Behind Wang Ying, everyone was stunned for a moment, winked at each other, and then looked at Meng Jiaoen sitting in her seat.

No one spoke for a while, and after a while, Xiuyi and the others started whispering to each other, except for Meng Jiaoen.

Zhu Yunbi glanced at Meng Jiaoen coldly, snorted coldly, defected?It's too late for you to turn your back on, look, you're not pleasing both sides, aren't you?
Just as he was thinking, people arrived one after another, and when Ye Xiaoxiao also came in, everyone started to eat in a hurry.

Wang Ying glanced at Lin Lanzhi's waist, seeing that it was empty, she couldn't help showing a smug smile.

The whole day was peaceful, and on the second morning at the court, the Sixth Division suddenly stood up and said: "Young lady, I recently learned that the birthday of the queen is on the third day of the twelfth lunar month. , but also to manage the harem, it is really hard work, I want to take this opportunity to hold a birthday banquet for the empress, and by the way, express my sympathy."

Ye Xiaoxiao raised her eyelids, celebrating her birthday?She has been in the palace for so long, but she hasn't celebrated her birthday with such a big fanfare, what's going on today?Could this group of courtiers really understand Ye Xiaoxiao's hard work and kindly hold a banquet for her?

Peach blossom eyes looked around, Yan Jingan pinched her beard and lowered her eyes, wondering what she was thinking, Qin Qingxing frowned, with a bit of disdain on her face, Su Ziyu was still expressionless as before...

"Besides, during this period of time, Xi Rong's envoys were indeed left out in the cold. Besides, it's good to take this opportunity to entertain Prince Kars and talk about the misunderstanding between each other. I still support Xi Rong as my first line of defense in the Western Jin Dynasty. things."

Speaking of this, Ye Xiaoxiao couldn't refuse anymore, this has risen from a small birthday to another height.

"Then keep everything simple, and I don't need you to bring any gifts, as long as you have this kind of thought, that's enough!"

As she spoke, she glanced around indifferently, and seeing that there was nothing else to do, she turned and left. Eunuch Wei still followed behind her, and shouted: "Retire!"

Everyone bent down and saluted: "Respectfully send off the empress, the empress is a thousand years old!"

When he got up again, among the crowd, Du Wang Yizhi stared at the vermilion phoenix robe on the high platform for a moment, and then couldn't help it anymore, he raised the corner of his mouth, and his eyes flashed a bit of sinister taste.

Seeing Wang Yizhi's expression from a distance, Liu Shengming couldn't help raising his eyebrows. Wang Yizhi gave him a look, then turned and left.

In the Xuanzheng Palace, under the watchful eyes of the public, the two rarely communicated with each other, but this did not prevent the two from exchanging letters in private. Since they were from the same camp, it was necessary to exchange strategies with each other.

"Father, father!" Wang Xibin followed behind Wang Yizhi, but he couldn't help but run a few steps to keep up.

"The Empress said she doesn't need a gift, so shall we give it back?"

"Yes, of course!" Wang Yizhi squinted his eyes, revealing an ambiguous smile: "Not only do we want to give, but we also want to give the empress a big gift!"
