Cthulhu

Chapter 408 Whispering
"What? Who did you get it from? Is the news accurate?" His eyes immediately widened, which was fine, and the Sword Queen immediately stood up.

After the two met, they were both sisters and sisters, and they called out very affectionately. In fact, in private, Queen Jian had long wanted to kill Concubine Yun, because Concubine Yun was more beautiful than her, and she was suffering from not being able to catch her. Isn't such a handle a god-sent opportunity?

"I don't know if it's accurate or not. That court lady was also sleeping, and she heard Hongxi, the maid serving Concubine Yun, talking in her sleep. It probably said that there was a man hiding in the West Palace, so she came to report to the slave family." The eunuch of the harem The steward told the whole story.

The Queen of Sword's face suddenly became ponderous, what she said in her sleep was unbelievable at all, but where there is no wind, no waves, how could Hongxi say such a dream?After thinking for a while, he immediately ordered: "Eunuch Li, you go and gather dozens of people, and seal off the West Palace yourself, and investigate one by one, so that no suspicious person can be missed."

"This..." Eunuch Li was a little unnatural, obviously he didn't want to easily offend Concubine Yun, if he didn't find out why, he would definitely walk away.

"With Bengong backing you up, what are you afraid of?" Seeing him stumbling around, the Sword Empress naturally understood his concerns and couldn't help asking in a cold voice.

"Yes, empress, I'll do it now." After speaking, Eunuch Li bowed his body and backed out.

Xigong "Mother, I have already said that I will not marry or not. Why do you want me to get married sooner? Don't talk about it again, okay?" I really don't understand why the queen mother would let me marry out every now and then. Do you really want to marry yourself out as soon as possible?
"Why are you so disobedient? The queen mother is also doing it for your own good. You can't let this matter happen to you." Concubine Yun's two willow-leaf eyebrows also twisted up. It wasn't that she was eager to marry Xiangxiang, because only Only after seeing Xiangxiang married off could she feel at ease, otherwise she would always be uneasy.

"But I don't want to marry, I just don't want to marry, forget it if you don't want me, I'll just go!" Xiangxiang ran out of Concubine Yun's bedroom willfully, covering her ears.

Seeing that her daughter was so rebellious that she didn't even listen to her own words, Concubine Yun felt very melancholy, and secretly blamed herself for spoiling her since she was a child, and now something happened to spoiling her.

Originally worried about Xiangxiang, she wanted someone to find her back, but as soon as she went out, a eunuch stumbled over and ran over, yelling that it's not good, causing Concubine Yun to wrinkle two eyebrows immediately .

"What's the matter, are you in a panic?" Concubine Yun asked suspiciously after the little eunuch stopped.

"Empress, Empress Empress has brought a lot of people to surround the West Palace."

"What is the empress doing around the West Palace?"

"I don't know, I'd better go and have a look in person." The little eunuch shook his head.

She didn't expect to get any information from the little eunuch, before he could finish speaking, Concubine Yun hurriedly walked out of the palace, the empress blatantly brought people to surround the palace, which gave her a premonition that something was wrong.

"Sister, you brought someone to my sister, did something happen?" Walking out of the bedroom, seeing the Sword Queen approaching, Concubine Yun had that eternally calm smile on her face.In the harem, there is no city mansion, and he has already entered the cold palace.

"Sister, it's true. Someone reported that there is a man hiding in the West Palace. My sister has to follow the rules and bring people here to search." The queen is also a person, with a smile on her face. What hypocrisy, Concubine Yun has not been caught now, so the two still look like sisters, if there is really a man after the Sword Queen is collected in the West Palace, people will definitely arrest Concubine Yun immediately.

"Oh, I don't know who has a grudge against my sister. How could she slander her with such vicious words? Will she be allowed to live again?" Concubine Yun looked very aggrieved, and at the same time there was a little panic on her face. The acting is really amazing.

"Who made the report, sister, don't embarrass my sister, just do a routine search, and my sister will clear my sister's innocence." The Queen of Sword showed a embarrassed look, obviously it was impossible to tell her about who made a small report. Concubine Yun listened.

Concubine Yun was extremely shocked, she really didn't know who made the small report that there was a man hiding in the West Palace, her intentions were so sinister.If it is true that there is a man found in the West Palace, not only her Concubine Yun, but even all the concubines in the West Palace will not be able to escape the fate of being thrown into the cold palace.

But is there a man in the West Palace?Not at all, so Concubine Yun graciously moved to the side, and said with a smile: "I have a sister, I can rest assured, go in and search, as long as you can prove your innocence, you can do whatever you want."

Seeing that Concubine Yun is so generous and not nervous at all, Empress Jian doubts the reliability of this gossip.But it’s all here, how can you be reconciled if you don’t search it?So he said: "Eunuch Li, take someone to search in the West Palace, my sister and I will go to the Royal Garden for a stroll."

"Yes, empress." Eunuch Li agreed, and then shouted to the little eunuchs behind him: "Listen to me, you must not let go of any room in the West Palace, go in and search carefully."

Afterwards, a large group of eunuchs rushed into the West Palace and began to search carefully. It seemed that they were digging three feet to find the man who didn't exist at all.

"By the way, sister, isn't Hongxi with you?" Walking towards the imperial garden, the Sword Queen suddenly asked curiously.

"Hongxi hasn't been feeling well these two days, I'll let her rest well." Nodding her head, Concubine Yun said calmly.

"Didn't you find a new court lady? Hongxi is not around, she should be here too? Why are you a noble concubine, how can you do without a court lady by your side?" Queen Jian remembered that when she was in the East Palace last time, she saw Concubine Yun take There are two maids in the palace, one is Hongxi, and the other is the little palace maid played by Cheng Cheng, that's why I asked this question.

"Oh, that court lady is sloppy and shy, and she can't even teach her how to walk. Maybe it's because she stayed in the mountains for a long time. I let her clean up in the bedroom. If the empress likes it, I'll take care of it later. She will send it to you." Concubine Yun concealed an unknown panic in her eyes, but she still didn't show anything on her face, the reason why she said this was because she was taking a risk instead of advancing.If the Sword Queen really asked her to hand over such a palace lady, she would definitely not be able to hand it over, so she was extremely nervous right after she finished speaking.

"Oh, thank you sister for your kindness. I have too many maids in the East Palace, so I don't need so many maids." Obviously, Queen Jian has completely fallen into the maze that Concubine Yun set for her. If she immediately asks Concubine Yun to bring her over , it's settled.

She let out a sigh of relief, Concubine Yun dared to take such a risk because she was sure, because she knew that the sword queen would never accept the maids she had used by her side.Then he changed the subject vigilantly and said, "How is the emperor recently?"

"Sister, I'm worried. It's still the same as before. The emperor is very good." The sword queen smiled hypocritically, but there was an unknown hatred in her eyes.

"Then I'm relieved too."

The two walked side by side in the imperial garden, and each said a word, you attack and I defend, this is a war without gunpowder smoke, and each has its own ghosts.

The two walked around for nearly half an hour, and Queen Jian calculated that Eunuch Li must have searched all over the West Palace, so she walked back with Concubine Yun. When they returned to the West Palace, all the eunuchs stood with their heads down. outside. : "I said it's impossible for a girl to hide a man here, right?" Seeing that all the eunuchs lowered their heads and failed to catch a man, the Sword Emperor narrowed his eyes, filled with resentment, but said perfunctory words in his mouth .

"We searched all over the West Palace, but we didn't find any man." Eunuch Li still didn't dare to raise his head. He originally thought that he could block the West Palace and make a great contribution in front of the Queen, but it turned out to be groundless.In the entire West Palace, apart from the eunuchs, there are palace ladies. Where did the man come from?

"Hurry up and take people away, don't be embarrassing here." Queen Jian really wanted to go up and slap him two big mouths, but in front of Concubine Yun, she had no choice but to continue acting, pretending to be reprimanded and sternly shouted.

"Yes, yes, the slave family will take people away." Eunuch Li broke out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly left with all the little eunuchs obediently.

After all the eunuchs left, Empress Jian smiled at Concubine Yun: "I'm really sorry for disturbing you, sister, there's nothing I can do about it, I hope you can understand."

"What did my sister say? If you have done nothing wrong, you are not afraid of ghosts calling the door. Since some people say that there are men hiding in the West Palace, routine inspections should be done. My sister is also a businessman. Naturally, my sister can understand."

"Then I won't bother the girl, go to bed early."

"Good morning, Empress." Concubine Yun blessed her.

As soon as Queen Jian turned around, the smile on her face froze suddenly, and then turned into a look of incomparable resentment. This should be her face from the bottom of her heart, because she failed to catch Concubine Yun. The handle, but can't kill this thorn in the flesh.

After returning to the East Palace, Empress Jian immediately called Eunuch Li, the chief eunuch of the harem, and slapped him several times to vent the resentment in her heart.Thinking of Concubine Yun's prettier face, a vicious thought of destroying it emerged in her heart.
