Zheng Ying's heart was filled with anger. She recalled that she had indeed eavesdropped on her saying 'Wulin Alliance Leader Li Yijie' under the window, so it could not be considered a lie. But then she had another thought, "Shen Shiyun is full of nonsense, the truth cannot be determined by her words alone." Putting on a smiling face, she said, "That's right, Meimei has really put in a lot of hard work to negotiate a settlement; we were very happy talking. Li Yijie has accepted our advice to surrender, hereafter he will be a good friend of our Great Qing. Ben Gong and my subordinates just saw him in your room, why didn't you invite him out to see His Majesty? "
Shen Shiyun said, "Since the agreement has been reached, it is inconvenient for too many outsiders to enter the Palace. Ben Gong and Li Yijie have not seen each other for many days, I think Jiejie must have seen wrongly." Zheng Ying laughed coldly and said, "My subordinates' palace maids saw wrongly, do you think Ben Gong saw it with her own eyes? Besides, if she saw wrongly once, do you think she will see wrongly every time? We have been guarding outside your Palace day and night, we don't know how many times we have seen the two of you entangled with each other. "
Shen Shiyun laughed and said, "My humble place is simple and crude, it is difficult for Jiejie to have the heart to come here every day. But since you are here, why don't you come in and sit down instead of willingly standing outside in the cold wind? "Zheng Ying laughed coldly and said," Being outside in the cold wind is not bad. At least it is not like some people who have an exuberant internal fire, whose liver and lungs are hot and dry! You said there were only you and Hu Wei, two people in the room, other than him, who else can prove it? "In her anger, she did not care whether her words were logical or not. Shen Shiyun was still calm, she leisurely said, "If Jiejie does not believe me, please come in and search."
Zheng Ying coldly humphed and said, "Do you think I don't dare?" She walked straight toward the big bed, which was precisely the important place her eyes were fixed on as soon as she entered the room. She did not have time to care about her Imperial Concubine's bearing, she bent down to look. Thereupon she turned around and searched everywhere in the room, rummaging through the chests and cupboards, even the cupboards that absolutely could not hide someone inside were searched one by one. Then she stood on tiptoe to look inside a celadon vase. The neck was long and thin, blocking all light, the bottom of the vase was dark and could not be clearly seen.
Luo Jin played with the braid, calmly and calmly looking at the vase. She laughed and said, "It's really amazing, to be able to get into this vase, first of all, how brilliant his bone-shrinking skill? Hero Li, you truly deserve to be the Wulin Alliance Leader. " Zhenying was sweating profusely and her face was covered in dirt. When she heard Luo Jin's ridicule, she became even angrier. Suddenly, an idea flashed through her mind and she shouted, "I know! So it's all because of you! ..................
Luo Jin smiled and said, "Imperial Concubine Zhen, this servant is wrongly accused. It was clearly your Yinyin who indiscriminately attacked me first. This servant fought back out of self-defense. .. We are all servants, our statuses are more or less the same, so it can't be considered as offending a superior, right? Ai, these days, public morals are really deteriorating. Thieves who are discovered still dare to hit others. If we don't set up some strict punishments and laws, it won't work anymore. "
Zheng Ying angrily said, "You showed that earring to Yinyin. She's stupid, she'll definitely go crazy after seeing it. Wasn't it all planned by you, you sly girl?" Luo Jin laughed and said, "Yinyin is stupid, so you can't blame this servant. You're willing to send a stupid person to do things for you, but I don't know if she can be considered your representative. " Zheng Ying was furious, but she did not know how to refute. She could only ignore her and walk to the side. She used her fingers to gently brush the window frame, carefully feeling whether it was slightly warm or if she wanted to see a footprint out of thin air.
Luo Jin interrupted with a smile, "Don't look. Alliance Head Li's qinggong is so high, why would he need to use the window frame to jump through a window? Besides, this Snow Song Palace has long been surrounded by your people. Even if he was lucky enough to escape, he wouldn't be able to escape the inescapable net outside. "After being reminded by her, Zheng Ying resolutely and decisively said," That's right, it's impossible for him to escape. Since that's the case, he should still be hiding in this room, or even among us! "
Luo Jin laughed and said, "Consort Zhen niangniang, are you trying to solve a case? Do you want to talk to His Majesty and ask him to find you a job in the Ministry of Justice? " Zheng Ying pretended not to hear and looked around. She walked in front of Hu Wei and said with a frown, "The more I look at you, the more suspicious I feel. There are many times when people are deceived by their eyes and ignore the most reliable first instinct … "
Luo Jin laughed and said, "You want to say that Alliance Head Li is proficient in the art of disguise and can disguise himself as Hu Wei? Don't joke around. One is the most revered in the martial arts world, the other is the Swan Shoulder and Lamb Knee; one is the leader of the army, and the other is a small fry; who would deliberately lower their status? If you say that Hu Wei is pretending to be Alliance Head Li, then there is still some credibility. If you want to say that Hu Wei is Consort Yun niangniang's new love, then please make a comparison. His Majesty is so talented and elegant, he can sit and drink tea. Then look at Hu Wei, who has the head of a snake and the eyes of a mouse, and has the eyes of a rat, he can only squat and wipe the floor. If it were you, wouldn't you love His Majesty and choose him instead? "She spoke with a high and low tone, as if she was singing an opera. Zheng Ying said with displeasure, "That's hard to say. Maybe there is someone with special taste who likes him … someone like him. No matter how ugly a man is, he can always find a wife. That's the truth. "
Hu Wei bowed and said, "Many thanks for niangniang's wrong love, but this humble officer really doesn't dare. You are His Majesty's concubine, even if this humble officer has a thought, it would be blasphemy." Fulin laughed and said, "Very good, very good! Hu Wei, zhen is appreciating you more and more! If you want any reward, feel free to mention it! "
Hu Wei said with a smile, "This humble officer is loyal to His Majesty, so I don't dare to ask for any reward. I only ask that niangniang often come to the Snow Song Palace, so that Luo Jin and I can feel the vastness of His Majesty's grace. Us two laymen have received the holy light's illumination, so we also have the hope of being reborn." Fulin said with a smile, "Zhen can see at a glance that you are trying to make Zhen come to see Consort Yun. You can't hide this little trick from Zhen."
Zheng Ying looked at these people who were happy and harmonious, as if they were a family. She felt as if there was a ball of fire burning in her chest. Hu Wei accompanied Fulin for a while and quietly retreated to the side. He gestured to Zheng Ying and led her to a corner. He said in a low voice, "It's not that this humble officer is talkative, but niangniang is not suitable for solving cases. Just now, Miss Jin gave you such an important hint, but you were still indifferent. Ay, what a pity, what a pity! "Zheng Ying was confused and said," What a pity? You … what did you say? "
Hu Wei smiled mysteriously and said, "Haven't you heard of the face changing technique that is popular in Sichuan and other places? Let this servant perform the most wonderful face-changing performance for you. " As he said that, he turned his body slightly, raised his palm, and quickly wiped his face. His facial features immediately turned into Li Yijie's appearance. Zheng Ying was dumbfounded. Hu Wei didn't wait for her to react. He turned his hand and wiped again, and his appearance returned to normal. This time, Zheng Ying saw clearly that he was pinching a thin piece of skin in his hand. It was the face of Li Yijie.
Hu Wei said with a smile, "Consort Yun niangniang always scolded me as' rotten wood can't be carved '. Today, I finally have a successor. Let me explain it to you. At first, the one who came to drink tea and play chess was indeed Li Yuanzhu. In order to satisfy your eyes, we have given him many opportunities to enjoy good fortune with women. But this fellow is too upright, he has never made any big moves, so he can really endure it. If we pin all our hopes on him, I am afraid we will have to wait for a long time. With no other choice, we had to use him as a model and make this small prop. It is just to make you laugh, it won't be able to enter the hall of elegance. "
Zheng Ying cried out involuntarily, "A human skin mask! You … "It was as if a hole had opened in her heart, and a faint ray of light shone in. Hu Wei lowered his hand, hinting her to lower her voice. He said with a laugh," Consort Zhen niangniang, I advise you not to make a fuss. We play face changing in the Palace, but it's just for our own amusement. It can't be considered a crime. You have to think clearly. Once His Majesty's interest is aroused, he will invite people to perform in the Palace all day long. There will be strange masks everywhere. Looking at them will be uncomfortable. If you don't have enough fun, another day this humble servant can change into His Majesty's appearance and take care of you more. "
Zheng Ying angrily said, "You dare!" She reached out to snatch the mask, but Hu Wei pulled his hand back and led her to swing in the air four times. Then, he raised his hand and threw the mask into a wooden bucket next to him. The bucket was still mostly filled with dirty water, which was used to clean the cloth. Zheng Ying inserted her hands into the bucket and groped around, stirring up a lot of dirty water and overflowing it.
Although Zheng Ying stopped shouting halfway, the two words on the other end were too loud, so it still clearly entered Fulin's ears. Fulin secretly frowned, thinking, "A woman whose head is filled with thoughts of peeling off human skin, her character can be imagined!" His disappointment with Zheng Ying gradually deepened. Seeing that she had wet a large part of the carpet in the Snow Song Palace, he couldn't help but scold, "Enough, Consort Zhen, don't go too far!"
Hu Wei smiled and said, "Your Majesty, please don't misunderstand Consort Zhen niangniang. She just wanted to help this servant wash the cloth. Who would have thought that she was careless and didn't grasp it tightly enough, causing the cloth to sink into the water. Right now, we are trying to salvage it. Niangniang has never done this kind of rough work before, so her lack of experience is understandable. "
Zheng Ying glared fiercely at Hu Wei. When Fulin looked away, she immediately lowered her voice and said fiercely, "You damned servant, don't be so arrogant in front of me. This consort is also not easy to bully!" She turned her head and instructed, "Yinyin, the other party has already forced us to this point. If we don't pay attention to politeness and reciprocity, then it's really inexcusable. Hurry up and bring us our 'winning magical weapon'! "
Yinyin hesitated and stammered, "Niangniang, do you really want that …" Zheng Ying scolded, "Nonsense, did you think this consort was lying to you? Go quickly! "Yinyin could only lower her head and reply," Yes. "Zheng Ying then sneered at Hu Wei and said," You have an exquisite prop, do you think this consort doesn't have one? "Hu Wei casually waved his hand and said with a relaxed expression," Let's wait and see. "
After waiting for a short while, Yinyin came over with a golden box. Hu Wei exclaimed exaggeratedly, "Wow, it's really precious! Niangniang, why do you give me such a big gift? "When Yinyin presented the box with both hands, she was still deeply timid. Halfway through, her arms couldn't help but shrink back. Zheng Ying was extremely impatient. She snatched the box and walked to the bedside with her head held high and chest out. Just then, she heard Fulin say, "Yun 'er, this time, you have made a great contribution by painting the Empress Dowager's birthday. We have long wanted to give you some gifts. We can use this as a reward. Is there anything you want in particular?"
Shen Shiyun said, "His Majesty loves chenqie. The Snow Song Palace has everything, and I don't lack anything. As long as I can close the distance between the Empress Dowager and me, I will be very happy. Besides, hasn't she already rewarded me? " Fulin said, "What the Empress Dowager gave you can only be regarded as a reward. We, however, want you to be my woman and receive some gifts. The meaning is completely different."
Zheng Ying couldn't help but sneer and say, "Younger Sister Consort Yun doesn't lack gifts. She has already done enough as a woman. Look, what is this?" He suddenly opened the lid of the box, revealing a silver box inside. He opened the lid and took out a square jasper box. When he opened the box again, he saw that there was a golden handkerchief inlaid with emerald diamonds. It was securely wrapped around the box. Zheng Ying took away the handkerchief and turned the box over. A small wooden puppet rolled out of the box. She sneered, "The gift is light, but the thought is heavy. You have really taken good care of it!"
Shen Shiyun didn't have a trace of surprise on her face. She only gently picked up the small wooden puppet and gently stroked the wooden surface with her fingers. The small wooden puppet had shoulder-length hair, a slender body, and the wrinkles of the dress were clearly outlined. Its facial features were exquisite and beautiful. The charm between its eyebrows and the smile on the corner of its lips were vivid. It was exactly Shen Shiyun's miniature wooden sculpture.
Zheng Ying was originally full of ridicule and only thought that she was watching the fun. It wasn't until now that she realized that something had gone wrong. She anxiously snatched the wooden puppet from Shen Shiyun's hands and shouted incoherently, "How could it be this … how could it be? Where's the other one? Where did it go? " She turned the wooden puppet over and over in her hands, trying to find something from the puppet. She twisted its head as if she wanted to change its appearance.
