Resourceful beauty

Chapter 302
After Kapok left, Fang Ruxuan thought a lot.

First, she thought about the marriage of Ding Xiang and Su Ye, but when she was thinking hard for a long time and couldn't figure it out, Chu Yuan took care of the matter and said that she would give Fang Ruxuan a perfect explanation, so Fang Ruxuan felt at ease .

After that, Fang Ruxuan thought of Concubine Ning, Concubine Han, and Concubine Lu Ruxuan.

Ever since they entered the palace, Chu Yuan and Fang Ruxuan began to secretly investigate the events of the year. Now, Fang Ruxuan knows what happened. Sooner or later, that incident will be brought up again by old affairs.

And when the day is brought up again, someone must pay the price for it.

Even so, today, everything is calm.

However, Fang Ruxuan now has nothing but that letter in her hands, that is, the old things she inquired about, and these are far from enough.

That being the case, it is necessary to take the initiative to seek more clues and evidence.

The words of the Ninth Princess had already caused some disturbances in Fang Ruxuan's heart. Now that she has found out the affair and held the jade pendant in her hands, she is bound to win it.

When thinking of these, Fang Ruxuan felt a little guilty.

Thinking back to last year, when she and Chu Yuan talked about the past, the most suspicious people in the palace were Queen Zhou, Concubine Lu Ru and Concubine Han.

Queen Zhou will find her one day, so whether it is Chu Yuan or Fang Ruxuan, don't be in a hurry.

Now, according to common sense, we should investigate Concubine Han Gui and Concubine Lu Ru at the same time. This way the progress will be faster and more clues will be discovered.

But these past few days, Fang Ruxuan's gaze has been fixed on Lu Rufei, Fang Ruxuan is unwilling and unwilling to move towards Concubine Han.

Although these people in the palace couldn't escape what happened back then, after getting along for nearly two years, Fang Ruxuan felt that Han Guifei was a person who was cold and indifferent on the outside, but warm and sincere on the inside.

Just like Concubine Fang, who tried to die in front of her again and again, if Concubine Han Gui wanted to make a move, Concubine Fang would have died silently thousands of times, but Concubine Han didn't take her seriously at all and exposed It's okay to let her small thoughts go, and there is no next move.

It's not that she can't, but she doesn't want to, even if she has been in the palace for more than [-] years, she always has a steelyard in her heart, knowing what she can do and what she can't do, so no matter what other people think of her or talk about her, She is full of indifference, living freely in her own world, using her own code of conduct.

Of course, this is what Fang Ruxuan observed in the past two years.

And Lu Rufei is obviously a different kind of person.

On the surface, she looks like a pure and harmless flower blooming on the branches, but her heart is deeper than anyone else.

In order to be able to enter the palace smoothly and make a fortune, and live a miserable life like when she was a child, she can use the Marquis of Chang'an to achieve her goals.

In order to have someone to rely on in the palace, she clearly had no other in her heart, but she was able to say such things to Xing Yuan speciously, which made Xing Yuan wholeheartedly plan for her, and even implicated Concubine Ning.

Finally, she fulfilled the idea in her heart, step by step from an inconspicuous constant presence to one of the noble four concubines today, when recalling the past, Lu Rufei must be very contented in her heart, right?

That being the case, in the dead of night, why bother staring at a jade pendant that doesn't belong to you?
Such Concubine Han and Concubine Lu Ru, compared with each other, they are superior and inferior, but Fang Ruxuan's selfishness caused troubles, and she planned to investigate Lu Rufei first, and then start with Concubine Han after no results.

She was always worried that if concubine Han Guifei was innocent if they were investigated at the same time, then it would be extremely difficult for her to return to the present harmonious and comfortable relationship.

A piece of sincerity is suspected by people in every possible way, and there is a grudge in the heart, just like a mirror with cracks. Even if it is restored to its original state, the cracks will always exist.

When talking about his thoughts with Chu Yuan, he couldn't help but sighed, and then, he held Fang Ruxuan in his arms and sighed: "I think so too, so let's do what you think. In the end, there will be The day the facts are found."

So, at this moment, although she feels a little guilty towards Concubine Ning in her heart, Fang Ruxuan still intends to put Han Guifei's side on hold for a while, and wait for Concubine Lu Rufei to find out the results.

Calling Mulberry, Fang Ruxuan asked hesitantly: "With your ability, is it easy to sneak into another palace and steal something without being noticed?"

Sangshen hesitated for a long time, "If you choose the right time, it's not impossible."

"What time?"

Seeing that Mulberry has a solution, Fang Ruxuan has some expectations in her heart.

"The more attention-grabbing the palace is, the more people there will be serving the master. Therefore, we must find a time when it is busy and easy to fish in troubled waters. Or, when the master is not in the palace, when the night is quiet."

Mulberry thought for a while.

The Double Ninth Festival has just passed, and the next festival will be Laba in the twelfth lunar month. It is not so easy to liven up the palace.

As for not being in the palace, it is even more impossible. If Lu Rufei doesn't rest in Jinghua Palace, where else can she be?
Fang Ruxuan thought about it for a long time with a headache, but couldn't think of a suitable time. At the side, Sangshen asked hesitantly, "What does master want?"

"In Lu Rufei's dowry box, there is a suet jade pendant with an orchid flower engraved on the front and the word far on the back. I want you to take it back."

Around Lu Rufei, there is probably just such a thing that shouldn't exist, and not many people know about it. If the whole palace didn't lose anything, but just lost this jade pendant, what would Lu Rufei be like?

There was a ghost in her heart, and if such an incident happened at that time, even if she was always gentle and quiet, she would be disturbed, right?
As long as you panic, there are traces to follow, and if you dig deeper, you will always get something.

Even if there is nothing to gain, starting from the Marquis of Chang'an, there may be unexpected surprises.

Having made up her mind, Fang Ruxuan first explained the matter of the jade pendant to Mulberry, while secretly calculating, to see if she could find a way to divert the tiger away from the mountain and create an opportunity for Mulberry.

There is no place to find when you step through iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it, and the opportunity will arrive soon.

September [-]th is Concubine Jing's birthday.

Because the birthday is not an integer number, and in the past, he didn't like to be lively, so when the Ministry of Internal Affairs came to ask for instructions, Concubine Jing pushed the idea of ​​making a big deal, and only set up a few tables of banquets in Chongxi Palace on that day.

Because of King Rui, Concubine Jing's status in the palace has also risen. Although she is inferior to Queen Zhou and Concubine Han, among the four concubines, she and Concubine Liu Ning are already equal and above everyone else.

Therefore, on Concubine Jing's birthday, concubines big and small in the palace have to show face.

Queen Zhou and Concubine Han sent congratulatory gifts to each of them, but Concubine Liu Ning and the others came to congratulate them in person. Therefore, after the greetings at Fengming Palace at noon, the concubines, big and small, returned home. After Gong changed clothes and took the congratulatory gift, they went to Chongxi Palace in groups of three or four.

Lu Rufei is no exception.

At noon, when it was the busiest time, Fang Ruxuan took cloves and mulberry leaves to Chongxi Palace.

Although there is such a promising son as King Rui, Concubine Jing is not as flamboyant as Concubine Fang, and her popularity in the palace is quite good. In the side hall of Chongxi Palace, there are endless laughter.

Fang Ruxuan was pregnant and left after sitting for only half an hour. Before leaving, Concubine Jing was still chatting and laughing with Concubine Liu Ning and Concubine Lu Ru.

Not long after returning to Xuanyi Hall, Sangshen came back.

Taking out the jade pendant from the sleeve cage and handing it to Fang Ruxuan, Sangshen said softly: "There is no one in the inner hall, although the servant took a while to find this jade pendant, but no one found it. The servant just left, and the back foot, Seeing Lu Rufei go back, there is no danger."

After taking reassurance, Fang Ruxuan took the jade pendant from Sangsan.

The top-quality mutton jade has smooth tentacles. It can be seen that it is often held in the hand to touch and play with. The orchid branches on the front are stretched, while the corners of the strokes of the character Yuan on the back have been smoothed.

"What does the box containing this jade pendant look like?"

Hand over the jade pendant to Ding Xiang and put it away, so as not to be found out, Fang Ruxuan turned her head and asked Sangsan.

"A palm-sized mahogany brocade box. The four corners of the box are carved with patterns of flowers blooming side by side. Look, it looks like something from the palace, not from outside."

Mulberry recalled carefully.

Since it didn't come in from outside the palace, then this jade pendant was either given to Lu Rufei by Xing Yuan before she entered the palace, or it was brought in by hand.

The latter is unlikely, after all, how could Xing Yuan trust others to bring in such a private thing to Lu Rufei?That being the case, it was Lu Rufei who brought it in when she entered the palace.

She hasn't disposed of it for so many years, but instead keeps it by her side and often plays with it. It can be seen that the current Lu Rufei often recalls this relationship back then.

As long as there is still love, then the follow-up things will be much easier to handle.

With this in mind, Fang Ruxuan carefully planned.

The next day, I went to Fengming Palace to pay my respects. Seeing Lu Rufei's face was normal, Fang Ruxuan knew that she must not have noticed that the jade pendant was lost, and Fang Ruxuan felt relieved.

However, in the afternoon, I heard that Jinghua Palace had disposed of two maidservants.

Lu Rufei, who has always been known for her gentle and quiet personality, and her tolerance towards her servants, ordered the two maids to be punished, and then ordered the palace servants to drag them to the Department of Punishment, but the charge was vague and slanderous.

Right or wrong, after one night, the two maidservants who had already been scolded once died before they survived the interrogation by Shen Xingsi. They were wrapped in two straw mats and dragged out of the palace by a carriage to throw them in the chaos. On the funeral post.

In this room, Lu Rufei was already furious.

Looking at Si Xiu, the close servant girl kneeling in front of her with tears all over her face, Lu Rufei asked angrily, "Think about it carefully, but who entered the inner palace and moved the dressing table of this palace?"

Except for Lu Rufei and herself, no one else dared to approach the dressing table even after entering the inner hall, Si Xiu shook her head with a look of annoyance and self-reproach.

Feeling uneasy in her heart, looking at the empty box, Lu Rufei had a bad premonition in her heart.
