When Yao Ying found this confession letter, she was so excited. Inside it was written in detail about the true identity of Ying Pin, as well as her various speculations. It involved the present three fei, which made her very excited. Therefore, she went to find Wen Yu furen at the first moment. But at that time, Wen Yu furen was ill and had closed the door to refuse visitors.
She wanted to use this to threaten Ying Pin, but Ying Pin did not pay any attention to her. When they met on the road, Ying Pin also rudely told her servants to push her to the side. How could Yao Ying be willing?
Just as she was stuck between a rock and a hard place, the restless Shan Ying arrived. She immediately had an idea. She invited Shan Ying to look at her dressing table. As she expected, Shan Ying found that thing. She knew that Shan Ying knew someone in the Sixth Bureau, so she waited for Shan Ying to make a move.
Now that she thought about it, she felt her entire body turn cold. Was that confession letter really Wang Pin's? Or maybe this was a trap set up by someone else. She had been used by someone else, but she was still pleased with herself.
At this time, Dan Ying said another sentence which could be said to have pierced the heart. She asked: "Jiejie should have carefully read that letter. Could it be that you did not notice that there was not a single word about Wen Yu furen in the letter? And now, the people around Wang Pin have already dispersed. I'm afraid that we can't even find someone to confirm if this is Wang Pin's handwriting. Jiejie, are you sure this is Wang Pin's calligraphy?"
Yao Ying was speechless. Yes, she was not sure. So she pulled Shan Ying's hand and said, "Good sister, it's all thanks to you. But what should we do next?"
Shan Ying saw that half of her goal had been achieved and was very satisfied. She said, "Jiejie, the future is long. To say something that makes jiejie angry, right now, we are just little ghosts that are not surprised. And they are all Yama Kings. Even though the saying is that Yama Kings are easy to see but little ghosts are hard to be. But if it wasn't for that Yama King turning a blind eye, what are you and I?
At present, the King of Hell and the others are fighting with each other. Why should we little ghosts be cannon fodder for them? Why don't we watch them fight it out first? For us, one less King of Hell is one less. Not only will there be an empty spot, but they are also anxious. We will have more opportunities! "
Yao Si agreed, "You're right, but I've just flattered Lady Wen Yu, and I want to go in and out with her. If … I can't refuse!"
"Sister, calm down. So what if they flatter her? Does Lady Wen Yu lack people who flatter her?" Dan Ying hurriedly comforted her, "Besides, the affairs of the world in the palace are unpredictable. Even if Elder Sister suddenly decided not to go tomorrow, would she still come personally to drag you along? Our most important task now is to bring together our sisters who were once in Nanyuan.
There is a saying: a fence has three stakes, a hero has three helpers. Even if you and I were to join forces, we wouldn't be able to match up to Lady Wen Yu's finger. But there is strength in numbers. If we unite, we can't be underestimated. Moreover, don't forget that there is still Noble Lady Xiao! "
"That's right, how could I forget her!" Yao Ying could be said to be suddenly enlightened, and said, "Although she has always been quiet, in any case, she is still a genuine fifth-rank noble concubine. No, she is now a fourth-rank noble concubine. If she is willing to stand up for us, why do we have to rely on others and suffer?"
Dan Ying said, "That's right. Sister, why don't you and I take the opportunity to propose to visit Noble Lady Xiao, who has been ill for a long time, after we pay our respects to her tomorrow? We can sound out a few of the concubines and see if there are any who rely on others to distinguish between friend and foe."
Yao Si nodded, then said worriedly, "But Noble Lady Xiao is now a high-ranking concubine. Won't she turn hostile and refuse to recognize us?"
Chu Ying said, "She is a high-ranking concubine. Other than us, who still remembers her? If we are willing to pay her a visit to express our goodwill, I'm afraid she will be too happy to refuse. "
"That's true." The two of them chatted for a while and discussed what gifts to bring for the visit tomorrow. Finally, they had dinner together and parted ways.
Dan Ying left Cui Hong House and was greatly relieved. However, she didn't feel tired at all. Instead, she felt refreshed from the inside. Today's small success was a good start. It made her feel as if she could see a broad road in front of her.
The next day, because of Lady Wen Yu's ruthlessness, most of the concubines claimed to be ill. Today, Shuangbo Palace was headed by Ning Guipin, leading Liang Guipin and two other concubines. However, there was only one Noble Lady Yan left in Fengzhi Palace, and her rank had changed. Originally, the concubines of the Nanyuan were only qualified to pay their respects at the palace gates. Those below fifth-rank could only do so at the palace gates. It was not obvious that Noble Lady Yan was kneeling in the crowd. It gave the illusion that no one had come to Fengzhi Palace. For a moment, it felt a bit gloomy.
Empress Dowager Wang, as usual, did not care about the number of people who came. She calmly passed down her orders, "Xuelian has been in the palace for almost half a year. As the saying goes, she returns home after three dynasties. Seeing that it is almost the anniversary of Yueyan's death, aijia and His Majesty have discussed and allowed Xuelian to return home as a first-rank concubine for seven days to reunite with her family."
This had been agreed upon earlier. Zhang Jieyu rose and left her seat to give thanks. The other people looked at each other. A concubine returning home was a great honor for the concubine and her family. According to the ancestral rules, only concubines above the rank of concubine could request to return home. But now, the Empress Dowager had taken the initiative to allow a Jieyu to return home, and it was in the form of a first-rank concubine. Even Feifei Wang did not have such honor.
Lady Wen Yu was the first to speak. "Empress Dowager is benevolent, but isn't this too rushed? These days, we have been busy with the marriage between the two countries. Also, Zhang Jieyu's return coincides with Princess Lingquan's marriage. This is not good, right?"
Empress Dowager Wang thought for a moment and nodded. "Then let's postpone it for three days, ten days. Xuelian can also stay at home for a period of time."
Zhang Jieyu knew the reason. She did not feel good, but still kowtowed and gave thanks. She could not say how she felt about Empress Dowager Wang's arrangement. She could not say if she was more jealous of Agate or Luoshuanga. But these days, late at night, she lay on the bed and looked at Agate sleeping by the foot of the bed. There was a voice in a dark corner of her heart that said that this way, Agate would never leave her and would always be with her.
After Dark Moon Empress Dowager finished talking about this matter, she told them to disperse. She didn't mention anything about what Lady Wen Yu did in her Sleeping Moon Palace yesterday, as if she didn't know.
When she left, Shan Yingying and Yao Yingying, who were at the end of the line, looked at each other. They took a few steps forward and stopped Yan Guiren. "Greetings, Yan Guiren."
Yan Guiren was a little confused to be stopped by unfamiliar people. She did not look at them and only looked at them. Seeing what they wanted to say, Shan Yingying said directly, "Forgive us, Yan Guiren. We heard that Xiao Guiren had been ill for a long time and had not recovered. We are very worried. Therefore, we discussed and decided to visit Xiao Guiren."
It was very eye-catching that someone suddenly stopped in the line. Everyone else also pricked up their ears to listen. Hua Yingying and Xi Yingying stopped when they heard that they were going to visit Xiao Guiren. Hua Yingying pulled Xi Yingying away in an instant. Li Yingying stayed, but also hesitated.
Yan Guiren was even more convinced that they had ulterior motives. She said, "If you want to see her, just report to Sister Concubine Jing. I've only met Noble Lady Xiao once, so I don't know her well. Why are you stopping me?"
Yao Yingying answered first, "We heard that Concubine Jing was not feeling well. We were afraid that we would disturb her and the prince. Therefore, we were wondering if Yan Guiren could make the decision."
Yan Guiren was anxious to get rid of them, so she said, "Go if you want to. Fengzhi Palace did not stop you, nor did it imprison Xiao Guiren. If there is nothing else, I have some personal matters to attend to. I will leave first."
Shan Yingying and Yao Yingying did not stop her. They looked up and saw that only Li Yingying was left. Hua Yingying and Xi Yingying were long gone.
Shan Yingying invited, "Li Yingying, would you like to visit with us?"
Li Yingying hesitated and said, "I suddenly remembered that I did not prepare anything. It would be rude of me to come empty-handed. Why don't you go first? I will go back and get some needles and thread. I will come right away."
"Ah, we are sisters. You don't have to be so polite." Yao Yingying took Li Yingying's arm and said, "I prepared a lot for this trip. I can give you some. Let's go."
"No, no need. Since Yao Yingying is willing to spend, it would be disrespectful." Li Yingying subconsciously wanted to withdraw her arm, but was held tightly.
At this moment, Shan Yingying took Li Yingying's arm from the other side and said with a smile, "Li Yingying is too polite. Let's go. There is no time like the present. Besides, if we go one by one, Xiao Guiren will have to work harder."
Just as they were dragging Li Yingying away like they were catching a criminal, Hua Yingying and Xi Yingying, who should have left, were squatting in the corner. They each had a chicken drumstick and were happily eating it.
Xi Yingying watched them walk away and asked with unclear words, "Why … are you here? (Why are you here?) "
Hua Yingying sucked the bone marrow contentedly and replied with the same unclear words, "Inha … bad nong. (Because you are a bad person.) "
Xi Yingying licked her greasy fingers and said word by word, "Xiao Jiajia. We. Not. Going. Is. Not. Good."
Hua Yingying finally let go of the bone and nodded, saying, "So we can't go with them. Later, we will bring a chicken to see her." Xi Yingying held the bone in her mouth and sucked hard on the bone marrow while nodding.
Just as the two of them were happily gnawing on the chicken drumstick, a gentle voice that was like jade rang in their ears. "Liang Yu An, why do I seem to hear the sound of someone sucking bone marrow?"
"Your Majesty, the Old Slave seems to have heard it too."
The two Yingying held a chicken drumstick bone in their mouths. Their eyes were wide open and full of fear, but they could not bear to let go of the drumstick in their mouths.
