Chapter 129
Xianyun Palace
Concubine Xian looked at the person in front of her and frowned almost imperceptibly, "Why are you here?"
The visitor looked at the concubine Xian and was a little embarrassed, "Empress, the concubine has already attracted Concubine Fu to doubt Fu Yan. The next thing should be that it is not the concubine's business, right?"
The person who came was Xiao Shuyi. When she first entered the palace, she lived in the side hall of Xianyun Palace. Later, she moved out after she had a high position. Since she chose to take the team, she could no longer escape.
In fact, her grandfather was not that powerful. She could know about the things in the palace at any time. Concubine Xian told her and asked her to tell her grandfather that Concubine Xian's father was her grandfather's immediate boss.
Concubine Xian tore the orchid in front of her according to the pattern before she smiled softly, "Of course, but please keep your mouth in mind, otherwise there would be one or two concubines missing in the palace, but no one cares."
Xiao Shuyi looked at Concubine Xian's movements and swallowed her saliva. Knowing that Concubine Xian never joked, she immediately responded, "Yes! I know, no one else will know about it anymore!"
Concubine Xian threw away the petals in her hand, "Go back, don't come again in the future."
Xiao Shuyi breathed a sigh of relief and turned around and retreated.
On this day, Chu Yanzi wore a red palace outfit. In order to match this outfit, she changed into the red blood jade bracelet sent by Fu Yan. She sent away the group of people who came to pay tribute as usual, and called Xianfei Concubine.
"Concubine Xian, please stay and accompany me for a walk."
Before the concubines had finished walking, Chu Yanzi used her claim to him. The concubines looked back and turned away. The Xian Concubine sat in the seat without moving. After a while, she looked at Chu Yanzi with a smile.
"What's wrong?"
Chu Yanzi was just bored, "Just walk around."
Seeing that she was indeed fine, Concubine Xian shook her head and did not respond to her, "You are bored and push me all the things in the harem to me. I don't have time to accompany you."
A lot of affairs in her palace were to be handled. When she came here this morning, the people from the Interior Affairs Office also went to her Xianyun Palace. Recently, they were busy with the arrest of Zhou Yan by the little prince and the little princess. Even Zhao Jieyu came to help in person, and only Chu Yanzi was still doing nothing.
Chu Yanzi chuckled awkwardly, stroked her hair and looked at the side, and didn't dare to stop her anymore. She was lazy, but forgot that Concubine Xian was busy recently.
"Well, since that's the case, I won't waste my sister's time."
Looking at her guilty look, Concubine Xian glanced at her, held Lian Yun's hand and turned around and left.
After the figure of Xianfei disappeared completely, Chu Yanzi sighed and leaned into his position. Now, because of the matter of Shen Guipin that day, all the concubines in the palace were frightened. There was nothing wrong with it. The harem was really bored, and he was bored and shook the handkerchief in his hand.
When Bai Hua saw his empress’s behavior, he pursed his lips and made an idea, "If the empress is bored, why not go to the imperial garden?"
Now that the Imperial Garden is blooming just in time, the Empress can relax when she goes there.
"No." Chu Yanzi refused directly. If Concubine Xian accompanied her and someone would talk, it would be interesting. It would be too boring to go alone, and Bai Hua and others could not chat with her unscrupulously.
"The troupe that the Queen Mother likes to watch before has recently developed a new trick. Call me here to see it?"
Chu Yanzi shook her head. She watched a lot of plays during her pregnancy, but now she has no interest in it.
"A Yan is bored?"
Emperor Yong's voice came, and Chu Yanzi looked up, and saw Emperor Yong walking in against the light, pursed his lips and smiled at him, got up and walked towards her, and without waiting for the salute, he spoke, "Well, the palace is indeed a bit bored recently."
In the end, I was afraid that she would be bored. Emperor Yong held her hand and before he could reach the inner hall, he pulled her out. "Since the actor made up a dance, I'll take you to see it?"
Chu Yanzi followed him out, but couldn't help but wonder, "What dance? You have to go out and watch it."
"You will know if you follow me."
After hearing this, Chu Yanzi stopped asking more questions. The left and right were just passing the time.
When he arrived at the Imperial Garden, Chu Yanzi realized what the name was. A group of actors stood in the Imperial Garden and caught a glimpse of Eunuch Li standing beside him. He guessed that it was the order he had just passed on. He smiled and sat in the pavilion with Emperor Yong, watching the group of actors dancing among the flowers.
Chu Yanzi reached out to hold the teacup, and the red sleeves slid down her arm, revealing her delicate and white wrists. The red jade bracelet on it was particularly conspicuous. Emperor Yong glanced at the bracelet. He often saw Ayan wearing this bracelet.
"Ayan likes this bracelet very much?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Emperor Yong saw Chu Yanzi holding tea, and paused slightly. Emperor Yong raised his eyebrows and heard her careless words, "Looking at the beautiful color, I wore it a few more times."
Emperor Yong nodded, but just a bracelet, he didn't care. What he cared about was that Emperor Yong's eyes seemed to have become deeper just now. He glanced at the bracelet more, and he was a little confused. Have you ever given A Yan the bracelet?
Chu Yanzi looked as usual, and looked at Emperor Yong with a smile, but he was slightly alert in his heart. He was too careless, but now, he had told Emperor Yong that he liked this bracelet and took it down, but there was still some of the place where there was no silver for three hundred taels.
The smile on Chu Yanzi's face faded a little, and he continued to look at the dance there, but he was still thinking about how to solve this problem. Fu Yan said at the beginning that the red blood jade bracelet was very rare, and the items that Emperor Yong praised were all listed.
Chu Yanzi frowned slightly, but it was fleeting. She felt that she was too careful. Her Chu family was not a small family, so what's strange about having a precious bracelet?
There was something hidden in his heart, and Chu Yanzi was not in a mood to continue watching singing and dancing. Bai Hua behind her was also a little panicked when she heard Emperor Yong’s question, but she kept lowering her head, fearing that she would reveal something that would make people see something wrong.
Emperor Yong sent Chu Yanzi back to Jujiu Palace and returned to Yangxin Palace. Before, he was not in the mood to come to the harem because of the Empress Dowager, but now he is busy with court affairs and has no time to come to the harem.
As soon as Emperor Yong left, Bai Hua looked at Chu Yanzi with a restless look on his face and asked with some concern, "Empress, do you think the emperor will..." He became suspicious?
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Chu Yanzi with gestures. Chu Yanzi's face was calm and she could not see her soft smile in the past. She spoke coldly, "From today, no one is allowed to mention the origin of this bracelet."
Bai Hua bit the tip of her tongue, nodded solemnly, and stopped asking about this matter.
Chu Yanzi glanced at the bracelet on his hand and frowned. Thinking of that day Fu Yan, he suppressed his emotions and smiled and kept the bracelet on his face. He suddenly felt irritated in his heart. He closed his eyes, reached his hand in front of Bai Hua, and said in a low voice.
"Pick it."
Bai Hua heard Chu Yanzi's instructions and looked up at her, took off the bracelet, put it in the jewelry box, looked at the empress who seemed a little tired, suppressed the sourness in her heart, and covered her with the blanket beside her. Seeing that she stopped talking, she lowered her head and stepped back.
As soon as she walked outside, she saw Bai Lu standing there waiting for her. Bai Hua looked at her in confusion, but saw Bai Lu stomping her feet, pulling her back, and returning to their room.
Bai Hua's face changed, she looked back at the inner hall where Chu Yanzi was, and scolded, "Bai Lu, what are you doing? The little master will not find someone later..."
"Pu" Bai Lu closed the door and made a loud noise. Bai Hua frowned slightly, stopped the words, looked at Bai Lu, who was angry, and pushed her,
"What the hell is wrong with you?"
Bai Lu let out a sigh, looked at Bai Hua, feeling a little aggrieved, "What's the matter hidden from me?"
They all grew up together. Bai Hua knew about the Empress’s affairs, and it was not easy to feel at all when she was kept in the dark.
Bai Hua thought about her words and knew what she meant. She glared at her, looked around and confirmed that there was no one, so she approached her and whispered.
"When did you hide it from you?" The voice became lower and lower. "You didn't know about Doctor Fu before, but other than that, it was the bracelet."
That's all, he looked at Bai Lu, and felt embarrassed to see Bai Lu. He also understood what Bai Hua had not finished saying, and felt a little embarrassed.
But the next moment, Bai Lu's expression became hesitant again, "Bai Hua, are you, are you, to the Empress..." Bai Lu bit her lower lip and couldn't say what she said next.
Bai Hua's face changed drastically. He suddenly turned his head and did not dare to look at Bai Lu. He said stiffly, "What are you saying! Don't think about it."
Bai Lu was loyal to Chu Yanzi, but she didn't want to see the good sisters who grew up together. She lowered her head and said with some discomfort, "I'm not a fool. You acted so obviously, how could I not see it?"
Bai Hua's expression on her face became stiff and she was a little panicked, "I'm showing it very clearly?" Bai Lu saw it, does it mean that others have seen it too?
Seeing that her face turned pale, Bai Lu quickly comforted her, "No, it's just that we grew up together and I know you better than others, so I discovered it."
At this time, Bai Hua breathed a sigh of relief, smiled, and met Bai Lu's worried look, "Don't worry, I'm fine, I will always be with the Empress."
Bai Lu looked at Bai Hua's satisfied expression on her face, lowered her head, and felt a little sour, but it was not that uncomfortable. If this was what Bai Hua wanted, she could only bless her, nodded to Bai Hua, and heard Bai Hua say,
"The Empress said that the origin of that bracelet cannot be mentioned again in the future. You can control your mouth."
After saying this, Bai Hua hurried out again, fearing that Chu Yanzi would call someone later and that he would not be by his side. Bai Lu sniffed and followed her out.
After they left, the door of the next room was suddenly opened. The person inside walked out and looked at the backs of the two, with a little hesitant look in his eyes. This person was Zi Yu whom Emperor Yong had just entered the palace when Chu Yanzi first entered the palace.
In the evening, the Palace of Heart
Emperor Yong sat on the dragon throne, looking at the kneeling person below, and didn't speak for a long time, and the air seemed to have quieted down.
Zi Yu knelt there, and in early summer, some cold sweat broke out on her forehead. Thinking of the good deeds of the Empress to her in the past, she felt a little regretful. Maybe she shouldn't have told the emperor.
"You mean, I wonder who gave the bracelet on the imperial concubine's hand?"
Emperor Yong's voice seemed to be the same as usual, but Zi Yu's body shivered for some reason. Since he had betrayed the Empress, he could no longer betray his master. Zi Yu's mind was calm,
"Reply to the emperor's words, I heard Bai Hua and the other two talks. They also said that the Imperial Concubine told them not to mention the origin of the bracelet from now on, and, and…"
“And what?”
The cold words made Zi Yu shudder, and he didn't dare to waste his time anymore, so he spoke quickly, "And they also mentioned Doctor Fu!"
There was no movement on the top. Just as Zi Yu was about to look up and observe Emperor Yong's expression, he suddenly heard a sound from above. Zi Yu looked up and found that Emperor Yong knocked the memorial on the imperial desk to the ground. Zi Yu hurriedly lowered his head and dared not look again.
Zhang Jin also knelt down, lowered his head and did not dare to speak. He felt a cold sweat on his body. If Zi Yu's words were true, then, why would the emperor lose his mind if the emperor favored the imperial concubine so much?
Emperor Yong stood on the platform, his body shook suddenly, and he supported his hands on the imperial desk to stabilize his body, his eyes as red as bloodshot. He suddenly remembered that the concubine, Fu Yan, and her bracelet, had only seen it from her hands after that day.
Emperor Yong was gasping for breath, and was so angry that his heart felt ache. He suppressed his emotions and tried to speak in a calm voice, "Go and check whether there is this bracelet in the gift list I gave to the imperial concubine!"
Emperor Yong's eyes seemed to have an abyss, and he would be crushed to pieces when he was swept in. He didn't want to believe that Ayan would have an affair with others, and he had a hint of luck, "Go and check, what did the imperial concubine have that bracelet?"
"Emperor," Zhang Jin paused, looked at Emperor Yong, and saw that his eyes were cold, he quickly lowered his head and said, "There has never been this bracelet in the jewelry you sent to the imperial concubine."
Every time the imperial concubine's reward was chosen by him personally, or even sent by him personally. He naturally knew whether he had this bracelet.
But Emperor Yong didn't want this answer. He fell directly into Zhang Jin's memorial on the imperial case. His voice was extremely cold, but he just wanted to deceive himself. "I asked you to investigate!"
Emperor Yong's eyes were so red that it was even more terrifying than when he walked out of Cihui Palace that day. Zhang Jin did not dare to speak anymore and hurriedly retreated.
Emperor Yong's heart felt as painful as a needle, but he endured it. What if Zhang Jin remembered it wrong? He sat on the dragon throne and looked at Zi Yu kneeling underneath. He didn't know what he thought of, but suddenly there was murderous intention in his eyes.
But in a moment, Zhang Jin came back. Emperor Yong looked at his afraid to speak and suddenly chuckled, "Hahaha--"
Emperor Yong's laughter became louder and louder, but his heart became colder. Zi Yu and Zhang Jin, who were kneeling below, did not dare to look up at all. They did not dare to think about what would happen to them who knew the royal scandal?
Suddenly, Emperor Yong's voice stopped and his expression calmed down. He stood up and walked down the steps step by step. When he passed Zi Yu, he paused for a moment, but walked out again.
"Go and see our concubine."
Emperor Yong heard a normal voice. Zhang Jin lowered his head and stood up, followed him. After walking two steps, he suddenly heard the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground behind him.
Zhang Jin was shocked and turned to look, but saw Zi Yu covering her neck and looking at him in fear, with regret in her eyes, but before she could make a sound, she slowly disappeared, but those eyes were wide open, as if she was a little nervous.
Zhang Jin paused for a moment, turned to look at Emperor Yong, but found that Emperor Yong had not turned back at all. He was about to walk out of the Palace of Yangxin. Zhang Jin suppressed the emotions in his heart and quickly followed Emperor Yong.
