77. Chapter 77 The sun hangs nine days and the clouds sway

"Just tell me."

Su Zimo saw Duan Yan lowering his head and there was a nervous look in his eyes, so he opened his mouth and said. After dealing with Duan Yan before, although Duan Yan still couldn't get rid of his arrogant temperament, he still knew whether to say something or not,

Say it, and when should you say it.

"Little Master, I was on the rockery side of the imperial dining room today. I heard Chu Jieyu and her maids Xiangcai and Xiangni from Lijingxuan discussing the matter of assassinating the noble king the day after tomorrow." Duanyan said and raised his head to see Su Zimo.

He only half-closed his eyes, but still had a calm expression on his face, with a hint of anxiety in his baby voice: "Although Mr. Wang is ungrateful, this is something that is harmful to others. After hearing this, this slave will never be able to calm down."

"Have they ever seen you?" Su Zimo asked softly.

"No, I'm hiding on the other side of the rockery, but..." Duan Yan hesitated a little when he said this: "When I was leaving, I saw another palace maid wearing the clothes of a palace servant from the East Sixth Palace flashing from a distance.

However, I don’t know if I heard the conversation between Xiang Cai and Xiang Ni, and I don’t know if I saw you.”

"People from the East Sixth Palace..." Su Zimo thought for a moment. There were many concubines living in the East Sixth Palace. If they were the concubines of Wei Guifei, they would not hide so far away. They were certainly familiar with Xiangcai and Xiangni.

Others, who are not the queen, are the concubines.

The Queen Mother has been keeping a low profile since she came out of the palace, and she has not dared to show off. The Queen Mother has made things difficult for Queen Cao Xiya in front of the concubines more than once, but Cao Xiya endured all these.

Cao Xiya knew that the child in Wang Mengqi's belly would not live long. If she wanted to use Wang Mengqi's child to set a trap, once she was discovered, the Queen Mother would definitely use this matter to suppress her, so Cao Xiya would definitely stand still this time.

But if he knew that she was going to do this, Cao Xiya would definitely do it.

If this person was a virtuous concubine, he would probably do the same thing as the queen, hiding aside and catching the culprit to vent his anger.

but……

Su Zimo raised her eyes and stared at Duan Yan with a serious expression: "Duan Yan, just pretend you haven't heard about this. If someone mentions it, you can't admit that you have seen Xiangcai and Xiangni."

People of Concubine Wei's lineage have always been cunning. If they really wanted to discuss something, how could they say it outside where they could meet people? This was clearly a deliberate attempt to let others know about her, to fall into her trap, and to gain another source of gossip.

crime.

Su Zimo thought this, but Duan Yan didn't understand it at all. He just looked at Su Zimo with a bit of shock and a bit of disappointment. He took two powerless steps back, lowered his eyes and said respectfully: "I obey, my slave."

Seeing her like that, Su Zimo could only sigh in her heart, turned around and nodded towards Shuliu, who understood and hurriedly pulled Duanyan back.

Leaning against the doorrail, Su Zimo looked at the dark blue sky. The jade pot was slightly tilted, and a silver arrow flashed by the side. Following the direction of the light, Su Zimo lowered his eyes and happened to see the green condensed on the camellia in the courtyard.

Frost, and I suddenly felt a chill.

In any case, Wang Mengqi was used as a pawn by others, or maybe Chu Jieyu really wanted to harm Wang Mengqi.

Duan Yan is afraid that she has been seen by others, and Xin Xueyuan will definitely be involved this time. Instead of waiting for the conspiracy to come, it is better to go there and investigate on that day. It is the right time to get rid of the suspicion.

Autumn is high and the air is crisp, the sun is high and the clouds are floating in the sky.

Outside Xinxue Garden, many trees have lost most of their yellow leaves, leaving only a few lingering on the dry branches. However, inside the garden, because Su Zimo has planted new season flowers, there are still some summer leaves left.

The remaining traces of the day.

Su Zimo, wearing plain purple autumn clothes, stood in the courtyard, waiting for news about the sparse willow tree.

Suddenly, a childish and pleasant voice came from outside the door.

"Sister Su has already put on new clothes. Others have also worn them. Sister Su, does it look good?" The girl has thick eyebrows, big eyes, and clear eyes. Her water-pink clothes make her even more delicate and cute.

Yue Yiran, that woman who seldom interacted with the concubines but had good relations with them, was petite and seemed innocent, like a doll.

Why did Yue Yiran come to Xin Xueyuan?

Su Zimo was thinking in her mind, and nodded slightly towards Yue Yiran: "Sister Yiran is so cute, she looks good in whatever clothes she wears."

"Hehe." Yue Yiran came forward with a smile, grabbed Su Zimo's sleeve, raised his head slightly, and said with a smile: "Sister Su is wearing new clothes today, is she also going to the Royal Garden to watch a show?"

Su Zimo's face stiffened slightly, and her heart sank. Has this matter already become known to everyone in the Sixth Palace?

The stiffness on her face only lasted for a moment, but Su Zimo soon regained her calm expression and lightly opened her lips: "It's cold in autumn, it's just a change of clothes, why did my sister say this?" As he said that, Su Zimo looked at her with starry eyes.

Xiang Yue was still confused: "What's the matter with watching a play in the Imperial Garden?"

Yue Yiran heard the words and said with a bright smile: "Sister Queen said that there is a play in the Royal Garden today. She is busy with things in the harem and cannot accompany Yi Yiran. She asked Yi Yiran to go and watch by herself. Yi Yiran found it boring to watch alone, so he came and asked Sister Su to go with him."

Su Zimo pursed her lips and smiled lightly: "It's still rare to get an invitation, and my sister is not interested in Xin Xueyuan, so let's go and have a look."

Looking at Yue Yiran, who was jumping and walking beside her, Su Zimo felt that this woman was very dignified. She still hadn't figured out which palace she was from, and what was her purpose in coming here to look for her? Is it true?

It was the queen who asked her to go to the theater, and there was no basis for it.

"Sister Su is so beautiful. People used to think that Sister Su was like a fairy. Now the more I look at her, the more she looks like a fairy. Even the emperor said so!" After a while of silence, Yue Yiran suddenly said.

"If we talk about fairies, my sister is still the shy and lovely fairy among flowers." Su Zimo smiled slightly and looked forward, only to see a person in the distance wearing a moon-white background and a blue moiré placket.

The young woman was hiding behind the rockery, stretching her neck and looking towards the lake.

"Eh? Isn't that Sister Hao Bin?" Yue Yiran's eyes lit up, he made a silent gesture towards Su Zimo, and pulled Su Zimo towards the rockery at the other end.

After hiding among the dense chrysanthemums, Yue Yiran turned his head and whispered to Su Zimo: "The show is about to start. Sister Su, please don't say anything, just watch with Yi Yiran."

Su Zimo was silent, it was fine in her mind, but she was on guard in her heart, secretly guarding against Yue Yiran.

Yulong Lake is still extremely clear. A cool breeze blows, and the leaves fall on the water surface, creating circles and ripples, attracting a group of goldfish at the bottom of the lake to play.

Two beauties stood by the lake, their green silk threads fluttered in the wind, and the corners of their skirts danced to sweep away the dust. Their figures were slender and graceful, as if they were immortals by the lake. The chrysanthemums on both sides were also outdone.

The enchanting woman wearing glazed brocade on the left, even from a distance, can feel the charm exuding from her whole body. She is undoubtedly Chu Jiangmei. And Wang Mengqi next to her has a happy face, and she is playing with something in her hand.
