"Gong Hua?" Zhang Wanyin was startled. She had been thinking wholeheartedly about how to get out of the incident, thinking about how to get rid of the matter of letting Yu Xijiao go pick flowers.
The Queen Mother nodded slightly, and a palace maid came up holding a tray with several palace flowers placed on both sides.
There were three or four flowers on one side, and only one was stained with blood on the other side. Although the blood stains had been wiped off, there was still a faint smell of blood.
Seeing these palace flowers, Zhang Wanyin's heart skipped a beat and her face changed drastically.
"Aijia remembers that you made these palace flowers, and asked Aijia specifically if they were good-looking. They are more delicate than ordinary palace flowers, the materials are used well, and there is no problem with the technique. They look better than the needlework department.
The work is even more beautiful." The Queen Mother said in a low voice, her eyes falling on Zhang Wanyin's face.
Zhang Wanyin's pupils trembled. She didn't expect that what she wanted to do the most was this.
She didn't notice this small detail at all just now.
His lips trembled twice, and he had to admit: "Empress Dowager, this is a palace flower made by Wanyin, but how could this palace flower be tied with Miss Yu San's shoes?"
"First it was pricked, and then as it walked along, it was slowly pricked deeper and deeper. Yu Xijiao was reckless and didn't even notice it. When she found out, the sole of her foot had been pricked all the way, and the injury was quite serious. If
If you get closer, there won't be such a thing." The Queen Mother's tone was solemn.
It sounded like Zhang Wanyin wanted to harm Yu Xijiao, stabbed her foot deliberately, and made her walk such a long way so that she could unknowingly hurt the sole of her foot.
"Empress Dowager, I don't know Wanyin, Wanyin... these small palace flowers were placed on Wanyin's table before, and anyone who comes in or out of the palace can take them."
Zhang Wanyin cried aggrievedly, her expression becoming more and more miserable: "Wanyin and Miss Yu, although they didn't hit it off at first sight, they did get along very well. What happened before, the two of us can be considered as sharing the same adversity.
How could Wanyin want to harm Miss Yu, but no matter what, it is indeed Wanyin's fault, and it was Wanyin who let Miss Yu go through such a life."
Zhang Wanyin did not deny her mistakes and cried.
After the Queen Mother was silent for a while, she said, "You really didn't send her there on purpose?"
"Empress Dowager, my daughter is really useless. My daughter and Miss Yu have the same temperament. There was no dispute before, and there will never be any in the future. How could I go to hurt Miss Yu and stab my feet for no reason? This is so important to me.
What good is a woman?" Zhang Wanyin's tears fell one after another, and she looked more and more pitiful.
This sounds very reasonable. Yu Xijiao and Zhang Wanyin do not have a direct relationship. They will marry into two families, so there is no possibility of any jealousy.
Whether it was before or in the future, nothing seems possible.
However, sometimes the seeds of suspicion are difficult to remove when planted. The Queen Mother looked at Zhang Wanyin with an expression of incomprehension, and the only sound in the hall was Zhang Wanyin's low sobs.
After a long while, the Queen Mother said: "You are getting married soon. You were originally going to leave the palace in the next few days. Now you should pack up and leave the palace."
This means that Zhang Wanyin should leave the palace directly.
"The Queen Mother...!" Zhang Wanyin exclaimed, not caring about wiping her tears, raising her tear-stained face and looking at the Queen Mother pleadingly, "Wanyin still wants to serve the Queen Mother, Wanyin is willing not to marry."
The original plan was to slowly move things out in the past few days, at least for a few more days. This represented the Queen Mother's favor. This sudden departure from the palace would definitely make people think too much, and even feel that she was lost in front of the Queen Mother.
pet.
"Silly boy, why are you saying such things again? There is no such thing as a banquet that lasts forever. What's more, you can still enter the palace to visit the Ai family in the future." A faint smile appeared on the Queen Mother's face, her expression softening a bit.
"The Queen Mother..." Zhang Wanyin wanted to beg, but was interrupted by the Queen Mother, "Go, I have been preparing at the Zhennan Marquis Mansion for the past few days. If anything is missing, just tell the Ai family that you were raised in
The biological granddaughter around the Ai family is nothing more than this."
"The Queen Mother!" Zhang Wanyin cried so hard that she could no longer speak. She took two steps on her knees and reached in front of the Queen Mother. She stretched out her hand and pulled a corner of the Queen Mother's clothes. Her tears fell like pearls. "The Queen Mother, I am willing to serve you forever.
I can’t bear to leave you!”
"Go!" The Queen Mother shook her head with a bitter smile, "You will also be the wife of the royal family in the future. You will know that there are many things you cannot do. Although you were raised by the Ai family in the past, after all, the Ai family is here and will always protect you.
, but it will be different after I marry you. You are the mistress of a house and you have to support your status."
Zhang Wanyin wanted to say something else, but the Queen Mother insisted this time and ordered: "Hel Princess Mingqing up and help Princess Mingqing organize her things. It's still early, so go back."
This means that even lunch is not left for Zhang Wanyin.
Zhang Wanyin knew that the Queen Mother had made up her mind, so she kowtowed three times to the Queen Mother with tears in her eyes, and then left sadly.
Many items have indeed been sorted out, but some have not. Originally, they were said to be slowly being sent out of the palace in the past few days, but now Zhang Wanyin is suddenly leaving. People in Chun'an Palace are secretly surprised and are making assumptions.
Did something happen? Especially the way Zhang Wanyin's eyes were slightly red, you could tell that something was wrong at a glance.
This is very easy to remind people of Yu Xijiao's incident. The Yu Xijiao incident happened. This Miss Yu injured her foot and was finally carried out of Chun'an Palace. Could it be that this matter has something to do with Princess Mingqing?
?
Some well-informed people knew that the palace flowers were related. They heard that Miss Yu’s foot injury was related to the palace flowers made by Princess Mingqing. It was also said that the Queen Mother was angry because of this, so she anxiously ordered Princess Mingqing to return home.
The Marquis Mansion of Zhennan is about to get married, and it is said that the Queen Mother is suspicious of Princess Mingqing...
There were secret rumors in Chun'an Palace. It was in this environment that Zhang Wanyin got on the palace sedan. Some items that she didn't have time to sort out were handed over to the palace attendants who were usually close to her.
After sitting in the palace sedan, the curtain fell, the sadness on Zhang Wanyin's face dissipated, and her brows furrowed tightly. She really made a mistake this time. She didn't expect that Yu Xijiao's injured foot had something to do with her palace flower. If she
If I had discovered this a long time ago, I would not let myself be so passive now.
Where did this palace flower come from?
Someone deliberately framed themselves?
When making palace flowers before, Zhang Wanyin and the people around her made a lot of flowers, and even specially sent a few flowers to the sixth and seventh princesses.
The maids around me also gave a lot of gifts, saying that they were made by Zhang Wanyin. Basically, they were made by people around her. Zhang Wanyin provided some good materials and took them from the needlework department.
Is it really a coincidence, or is someone setting her up?
If it was a coincidence, it would be too coincidental. Zhang Wanyin didn't believe it. Someone must have tampered with it. Could it be the seventh princess?
The Seventh Princess must have taken action this time, but in the end Yu Xijiao came back well and saw no movement, just injured her foot. Could it be that this was the Seventh Princess's action, which was self-defeating and led to trouble for herself?
?
What he originally wanted was Yu Xijiao's life, but in the end, due to some strange combination of circumstances, he didn't take her life, but only injured her? It's really possible when you think about it. The seventh princess had failed to achieve anything and failed more than she should have done.
Let people turn their attention to themselves...
The more Zhang Wanyin thought about it, the more it seemed possible. She only regretted that the Queen Mother did not give her a chance to explain more. She knew that she had really aroused the Queen Mother's suspicion. It was just a matter of giving directions. The Queen Mother should not doubt herself too much. After all, she knew nothing.
, the Queen Mother never said anything before about picking flowers at that place.
But now, with this matter of palace flowers, the Queen Mother must be suspicious.
But she couldn't explain too much because she was afraid that if the Queen Mother thought of leading Yu Xijiao to that place, she would be in danger.
The handkerchief was crumpled into a ball, and his face was turning blue and white. Now that he was leaving the palace at this time, and at such a time, it was easy for people to speculate that he had lost the favor of the Queen Mother, and that he was injured with Yu Xijiao.
It's relevant. How can she solve this dilemma now?
The seventh princess was indeed a useless fool. Not only did she not accomplish anything, she also got herself implicated...
Zhang Wanyin felt regretful and angry at the same time. She had never thought that so many years of hard work might be ruined by this incident. What made her even more unexpected was that there would be a follow-up to this incident, and it would be a big uproar...
…
Not long after she left Chun'an Palace, the emperor arrived at Chun'an Palace.
The Queen Mother asked people to welcome the Emperor into the palace.
After seeing the ceremony, the emperor waved his hand for everyone else to go down. Only the most distinguished mother and son were left in the hall.
"Mother, is it Yu Xijiao who came here to pick flowers today?" the emperor said with an unhappy expression.
"The Ai family doesn't know about this. We were supposed to go there in the morning of Mingqing. Something happened this morning and was delayed. Mingqing has been busy since then. When he saw Yu Xijiao coming, he let her go and didn't think about her.
Before I arrived, I stepped on a palace flower and hurt my foot, so I had to be carried back."
The Queen Mother said in a deep voice.
The emperor was silent for a while and did not speak.
"What happened?" Seeing her son like this, the Queen Mother's heart skipped a beat and she asked.
"Mother, someone wants to kill Yu Xijiao." The emperor said bluntly.
"Who, what's going on?" The Queen Mother was startled, her face changed drastically, she had a vague feeling in her heart before, but now when her son said this, she could hardly sit still, "Who interfered with you?"
"I don't know, the person is dead." The emperor's face was also ugly. His most trusted secret guard actually found someone else's person. The emperor was angry and slammed the table hard, "I didn't know that among the people now,
...Is there anyone else who dares to arrange manpower among my people?"
"The Queen is the only one who knows about this, right?" the Queen Mother reminded.
These secret guards of the emperor are actually the most mysterious flying dragon guards of the royal family. Only the emperor and the succeeding prince know about them, and the queen also knows some. After all, she is the emperor's legitimate wife and the queen of the palace.
The queen pondered, her expression hard to explain.
"Your Majesty, are you one of the Queen's?" the Queen Mother said sternly, "The Ai family didn't know that the Queen's hand stretched out so far. Not only did she send Yu's daughter to the two princes' houses, but she also dared to attack the Emperor!"
I already feel eighty or ninety percent sure of the meaning behind these words!
