Chapter 123 Let’s take a shower
Yin Qingxuan smiled disdainfully, but it was just an incompetent bark.
Before she was of any use to the Queen Mother, Lu Jingxian would not be able to do anything. When she was no longer of use, she would no longer be in the palace.
Touching the chicken blood jade on the pendant's chest, Yin Qingxuan's heart suddenly felt warm.
Marshal Guan was the only person in her travels for so long who cared for her without asking for anything in return.
Of course, the same goes for Yun Cai and Nanny Li.
With a gentle sigh, Yin Qingxuan lifted her robe and knelt on the ground respectfully.
"Slave Xiao Xuanzi, please give your regards to the Queen Mother."
"Get up."
The Queen Mother came to the door with a gentle smile on her face.
"I heard that you have been training outside the palace these days. I am really embarrassed for you."
"It is the duty of a slave to relieve the worries of the Queen Mother and the Emperor."
After dealing with people from the royal family all day long, Yin Qingxuan has mastered Mandarin.
"You are now interested. The Aijia want to hear about the military training. You can come in with the Aijia."
"Yes."
Yin Qingxuan followed the Queen Mother into the main hall, and everyone else was rejected by the Queen Mother.
Thinking of that night, the Queen Mother looked at her with a half-smile.
"Xiao Xuanzi, you and the Ai family are now a family. Naturally, one family will not speak to each other. What are you going to do about the affairs that the Ai family has told you?"
Yin Qingxuan understood instantly that Ye Jingyao had not told the Queen Mother what happened that night.
Thinking about it, he shouldn't dare to publicize such a shameful thing.
Then he said respectfully: "Replying to the Queen Mother, I have been looking for opportunities, but the Emperor is extremely alert and has Li Defu by his side, so it is difficult for him to use his methods. Please give the Queen Mother some grace."
The Queen Mother snorted coldly and said: "This old guy Li Defu is indeed a mature man. If he died, things would be half as simple."
Yin Qingxuan's heart skipped a beat, this damn old witch wouldn't attack Li Defu.
Although the old eunuch always talks about him when he has nothing to do, most of the time he talks about him, so Yin Qingxuan still has a good impression of him.
"What the Queen Mother said is absolutely true. It's just that Li Defu has been serving the Emperor for a long time. If something happens to him suddenly, the Emperor will definitely be suspicious."
The Queen Mother nodded. "It's because of this that the Ai family keeps that bitch alive..."
Changing the subject, he added: "One more thing. Xu Zhiyuan from Shuiyun Pavilion went to the Chanting Pavilion a few days ago and even moved the urn. If someone discovers that the skeleton inside is not yours, there will definitely be an uproar."
Yin Qingxuan's face changed slightly. "What's she doing looking at that thing?"
The Queen Mother snorted coldly: "How did the Ai family know? You need to investigate this matter."
She glanced at Yin Qingxuan and whispered: "Although there are forbidden troops in the harem, there are also many secret guards trained by the emperor. They may not all be palace guards, they may also be eunuchs or maids, or They are the beautiful ladies who have entered the palace. These people are all hiding somewhere and will not appear unless necessary."
Yin Qingxuan's back felt cold after saying these words.
Could it be that... Ye Jingyu is really such a scheming person?
After being in contact with him for such a long time, the deepest impression he left on Yin Qingxuan was that he cared about the country and the people, worked diligently and loved the people. If it was true what the Queen Mother said, it would be a bit scary.
Imagine that a person in his twenties holds such a large invisible surveillance network. There is no secret in the harem.
After thinking about it again, I felt that the Queen Mother was a bit alarmist.
If he really knew everything, he would have revealed the affair between her and Xiaozidan long ago. Is there any need to wait until now?
He replied: "Yes, I will definitely find an opportunity to find out about this matter."
The Queen Mother nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile on her face: "Yao'er has been busy with matters in the palace these days and has not come to the palace. You must have missed him very much. When he comes to the palace, the Ai family will help you make arrangements immediately. "
Yin Qingxuan thought to herself, I can thank you for eight generations of ancestors.
"My servants are basically not in the palace these days. Even if the prince comes, he can't see me. The queen mother doesn't need to worry."
Speaking of this matter, the Queen Mother asked with a sarcastic face: "There are so many generals in the court who have not chosen, and Ye Jing Yufei asked you to train troops. This is really interesting."
"This..." Yin Qingxuan pondered for a moment and said, "It's probably because the emperor couldn't stand Song Qiaoan's generals, so he wanted to use his minions to kill them."
"It's just like his style."
The Queen Mother snorted and said: "It seems that the three fires of the Emperor's enthronement have not been burned out yet. It's just that the dynasty is intricate and complicated. After one year in power, he wants to eliminate these dissidents. He must have some ideas. It’s easy.”
After that, he said to Yin Qingxuan: "The Ai family called you here today just to tell you about Xu Zhiyuan's visit to the chanting pavilion. Even though the Ai family had people change the bones, you have to be careful. It's getting late. Now, you should go back too, lest you stay too long and make the emperor suspicious again."
"Thank you for your understanding, Queen Mother. I will resign now. I will find out the identity of Master Xu in the shortest possible time."
Yin Qingxuan knelt down to the Queen Mother and left Cining Palace.
Along the way, he frowned and couldn't help but think about Xu Zhiyuan.
That day when she jumped into the water, it was clear that she was desperate for life. There was no way she was a secret guard. The old witch was probably frightened by Ye Jingyu.
But she was really suspicious of the name Yin Qingxuan. Even if the old witch didn't tell her, she still wanted to find a chance to try her.
After thinking about it all the way, people have returned to Chengtian Hall.
At this time, the sun has set in the west, and a few wisps of breeze blow by, bringing some coolness to this hot summer.
Yin Qingxuan walked slowly into the courtyard and immediately saw Ye Jingyu standing in front of the window.
Wearing a robe made of green bamboo leaves, he has a tall and straight figure. He has a simple jade hairpin on his head, which makes him look clean, neat and handsome.
Ye Jingyu also saw her and nodded slightly to her.
Yin Qingxuan hurried over to recover.
"Slave, please see..."
"no."
Ye Jingyu's voice was calm, and he had already sat back on the dragon-carved chair.
"How is today?"
"Everything is fine."
Ye Jingyu's eyes narrowed slightly, and his eyes as deep as a deep pool seemed to carry an invisible penetrating power, which immediately gave Yin Qingxuan a sense of suffocation.
She coughed dryly and said, "Your Majesty, is there anything on this slave's face?"
Ye Jingyu withdrew his gaze.
What he was thinking about was what was going on in the court today. The ministers had many complaints about Yin Qingxuan's military training, and there was inevitably a lot of quarreling. After most of the day, Ye Jingyu was still very unhappy.
Jian Mei frowned slightly and said, "No. Back off. Tomorrow happens to be the day of rest. You can also take the opportunity to relax."
"Yes."
Yin Qingxuan backed out of the palace gate, but felt that something was wrong with Ye Jingyu.
Could it be that Ye Jingyu already knew about her meeting with Marshal Guan.
But he still had to ask and give himself a chance to quibble. If he didn't say anything, it would make Yin Qingxuan feel anxious.
"Xiao Xuanzi."
As soon as I arrived at the eunuch's residence, I was startled by Xiao Anzi who suddenly jumped out.
"What?" Yin Qingxuan asked angrily.
Xiao Anzi chuckled and said, "No bathing tomorrow. Let's take a bath together tonight."
