Vol 3 Chapter 18: Salvation arrived

? "You, what do you mean by saying this?"
Gu Yunxi's question was too sensitive. Wan Yuyao never imagined that she, a second-ranking imperial concubine, would be questioned in court by a small palace maid. While anger was overwhelming, her delicate face slipped over a hint of haste. +++All Tanmei novels: EbookFREE.meo
Gu Yunxi pressed the corners of his lips lightly, a somewhat sneer, and the blooms seemed to be fine, and he lowered his head:
"Niangniang forgive the sins, and the servants were curious, but they were attracted by the fragrance of the soup.
The servant maid, who is in charge of the small kitchen of Chuxiu Palace, courageously implores the lady to give the stewing recipe of this soup to the servant, and the servant also wants to go to the camp for one or two. "
"Presumptuous, consider yourself who you are! That's just the most common black-bone chicken soup, don't you know how to stew chicken soup when you work in a small kitchen—"
Concubine Ye stood by taking pictures, her eyebrows twisted and cold:
"With your hand in hand, you dare to speak cleverly in front of your mother? Mother, this kind of slave doesn't understand the rules and should be put in a violence room to receive physical punishment!"
"Correct!"
"Yes!"
Other concubines scrambled to agree.
The room is full of spooky women and snake-hearted, once the scandalous thing is exposed, they will turn their faces and dance their claws, even disregarding the posture of the concubine.
Gu Yunxi's eyes narrowed slightly, and he calmly shot back:
"Ye Niangniang said that what was broken was a bowl of black-bone chicken soup, which should be a harmless delicacy for humans and animals. But when I saw the cat licking the soup, why did you look so panicked? Do you know there is something different in this soup? ?!"
The concubine on the seat changed in an uproar, one by one, dodged in panic, or looked embarrassed and difficult.
Gu Yunjin's beautiful eyes turned round, and she waved her fragrant silk sleeves and drank coldly:
"Tu Muxue, you are so bold, you dare to slander the imperial concubine and despise Feng Yi!"
She had suffered two big losses in Gu Yunxi's hands before, and she felt hatred for it.
Today, Gu Yunxi broke into Yongning Palace and broke their plan to persecute Gu Yunyao. Gu Yunjin seized the matter and tried every means to provoke Wan Yuyao's anger, wanting to use her hand to remove the stumbling block of Tu Muxue.
As soon as Gu Yunjin's words fell, Shenle Hou Wanli suddenly threw a fist towards Gu Yunxi.
He is accustomed to judging people by their appearance, and he felt that when he looked at her petty and not beautiful features.
Seeing that she was rude to Wan Yuyao, and exposed the tricks of the concubines in public, she couldn't help being furious, and wanted to kill her immediately.
Unexpectedly, Gu Yunxi would neither dodge nor hide, his slender and exquisite body stood still in place.
Wanli's iron fist had the strong palm power possessed by a martial artist, and it rushed towards Gu Yunxi's head with a "swish" sharp cold wind.
When this punch falls, not to mention the head blooming, there is always a hole left.
And he didn't know that the speed of his fist fell in Gu Yunxi's eyes, undoubtedly the slowest picture.
She saw her face sinking and quickly raised her hand, and in the blink of an eye, her soft right hand grasped Wan Li's wrist firmly. o
Wan Li was suddenly astonished.
A cold light suddenly appeared in Gu Yunxi's eyes, and his voice was somber:
"Master Hou, please calm down."
The scene was silent like a pool of stagnant water, and several eyes were stunned, staring at the two tall and short stubborn in front of them.
The pressure on his wrists was tightening, and Wan Li's pair of eagle eyes immediately stared.
The girl in front of her looked shameless, how could she have such strength and courage?
She, where is she sacred?
With this question in mind, Wan Lixie squinted his eyes, pressing his arms a little harder.
He didn't believe he could be planted by a yellow girl!
Even if the maidservant knows some martial arts, she is just showing off her legs. As long as he doesn't withdraw his hands, she won't be able to support it for a long time.
On this end, Gu Yunxi's cold eyes grew sharper, and the arms raised up secretly fought against each other, and they were at a stalemate with Wan Li.
Wanli's five senses were ferocious, and he was anxious and said:
"Ban maid, you are impatient with life--"
Gu Yunxi coldly scoffed:
"Master Hou is so gaffey in public. Is it because the conspiracy was dismantled and turned into anger?"
Wan Li suddenly changed and slammed up to Gu Yunxi.
Gu Yunxi stared directly at Manli with a cold and stern look. He had already slammed his lower body, and leaned unbiasedly on Manli’s boots to intercept the attack, and then reversed his ankles and badly said goodbye to Manli’s ankle. , At the same time Lingli flashed.
Man Li was caught off guard, leaning forward when he opened his mouth and yelled, fell down and sang a dog chewing on the ground.
The hall exclaimed, sharp and piercing.
The court lady and the Lord Hou fought in court, which is a miracle unheard of in the palace for thousands of years.
Naturally, the concubines had never seen such intense scenes before, all of them were so scared that Huarong was pale, and they dodged the corner and shrank into a ball.
Gu Yunxi also spared no effort today. Who dares to touch her elder sister, she is bound to make them look good-
"It's the opposite, it's the opposite!"
Wan Yuyao slumped hysterically and yelled on the armchair, her delicate goose egg face was intertwined with blue and red, a different kind of excitement:
"Come on, come on! Take this unruly to this palace—"
Gu Yunyao stood in front of Gu Yunxi a few steps, her eyes angered like fire, and she went straight to Wan Yuyao:
"Niang, the concubine was the emperor's love last night, but the concubine never thought of which sister to fight for favor, why didn't you let your concubine be spared, and repeatedly abused your concubine?!"
She and Aunt Mu from Chu Xiugong had never been rescued by her several times in their lives, which moved Gu Yunyao's heart.
At this moment, Aunt Mu made another move, but she was in crisis. Gu Yunyao was determined to stand up and let her fight with the imperial concubine.
Wan Yuyao sneered triumphantly and said in awe:
"Joke, as the imperial concubine, I have the power to assist the sixth house, but now you kindly give you soup but you are jealous in every way. Yu Zhaoyi, I advise you not to be arrogant!"
Gu Yunxi resolutely interjected:
"Niangniang, do you dare to invite an imperial doctor to inspect the tonic soup on the ground?"
Wan Yuyao immediately rolled her eyebrows and smashed the chair with a fist.
"Bold and cheap maidservant, there is no reason why the masters say something for you to interrupt? Come on—"
The waiters filed in, surrounded Gu Yunyao and Gu Yunxi.
Just as Wan Li stood up from the ground cursingly, a feminine voice rose high outside the main hall from far to near:
"The Queen Empress is here—"
Wan Yuyao's eyes widened immediately, and her face looked at Wan Li in amazement.
The hostility faded, and Gu Yunxi quickly returned to a humble posture of nodding his head, and stepped aside with his hands together.
Qian Huang stepped into the threshold, dressed in a bright yellow and nine phoenix imperial attire to show off the majesty of the lord of the harem. On the left and right sides were Concubine Xu, Concubine Shu and several young concubines, as if the stars held the moon.
Wan Yuyao was full of resentment and unwillingness, but had to get up from the main position.
The concubines who had just been arrogant just now looked like a mouse when they saw a cat, and looked terrified and humble, bowed their heads and saluted Queen Qian, shouting together:
"The concubine has seen the empress, the empress is Jin'an."
Queen Qian's eyes were cold and disdainful, she didn't even look at the evildoers, and went straight to Wan Yuyao.
Upon seeing this, Wan Yuyao put on a look of malaise, lazy body, pinched her voice and spoke slowly:
"My concubine has seen the Queen Empress, Empress Wanan. I wonder if the Empress is visiting Yongning Palace today.
Queen Qian raised her eyebrows diagonally, snorted coldly between her nose, and flicked her sleeves angrily:
"I heard that my sister was sick in bed and it was inconvenient to go to Kunning Palace to greet you, so my palace came to visit you personally! What I just didn't expect from my sister's palace is that it is so lively in the palace."
After some sharp words, Queen Qian turned her head away coldly, her cold eyes fell on Ye Fei and the others.
They all felt a yin wind hitting their faces, their bodies trembling, and their heads lowered.
Queen Qian turned her head to look at Man Li again:
"Why is Kagura Hou here now?"
Wan Li's expression tightened, and he clasped his fists and said:
"Report to the queen, the minister and the minister heard that the eldest sister was unwell, so..."
"Bold!"
Without waiting for Wan Li to finish talking about Queen Qian, she scolded:
"How can you as a courtier call the emperor and noble concubines directly from your clan relationship? Not only do you overstep the courtesy of the emperor and courtiers in full view, but also how to stay in the harem concubine gathering place for a long time? Get out!"
Man Li's pupils burst into red light, gritted his teeth with anger.
Reluctantly looking at Wan Yuyao angrily, and seeing her shook his head slightly, Wan Li had to suppress his emotions and reluctantly smashed his hands at Queen Qian:
"Weichen obeyed and retire immediately."
Watching Wanli split the curtain to rush out of the main hall, Queen Qian walked up to Gu Yunyao with a smile on her face:
"Sister Yu only served the holy driver last night, how did you come to Yongning Palace early in the morning?"
Gu Yunyao replied with grievances:
"Reported to the empress, the concubine was invited by the imperial concubine. The empress was kind and gave the golden hairpin and the soup. But the concubine was useless, and she overturned the soup bowl by mistake, betraying her good intentions."
The reason why Gu Yunyao said that she overturned the soup bowl was protecting Gu Yunxi. Regardless of whether there is a problem with the bowl of soup, it is impolite to deliberately knock over the bowl as a slave, and it is inevitable to be punished in accordance with the palace rules.
Before Gu Yunyao finished her words, she drew a stern retort from the opposite Yang Cainu:
"Empress, sister Yu is lying, that black chicken soup was deliberately overturned by Aunt Mu from Chuxiu Palace."
Concubine Xu stood on the side of the queen and looked at Gu Yunxi in shock.
Queen Qian frowned:
"Tu Muxue, it's you again?"
She hadn't forgotten the last time in Chuxiu Palace, it was this colorless maidservant who provoked Emperor Xiao.
Soon after, how could she cause trouble in the harem again?
Gu Yunxi knelt on the ground, his expression was neither humble nor overbearing:
"The empress, there is another secret in this matter. The slave servant will be punished after explaining the details of the dragon."
Queen Qian said in a deep voice: "You speak!"
Gu Yunxi's face was calm, and when he was about to be ordered to send fruits to Yongning Palace, he was blocked. Later, when he entered the inner courtyard, he heard everyone forcing Yu Zhaoyi to drink soup, and Songqin’s protector was beaten up by Shenlehou. Came out.
Queen Qian's face changed drastically after hearing this. When Gu Yunxi had finished speaking, she said to Wan Yuyao, her eyes full of frost, and she said coldly:
"My sister is really in good spirits. I know my sister is the most particular about eating and drinking. I think the tonic soup stewed in your palace is also delicious, so I want to ask my sister for a bowl. I wonder if my sister is willing?"
Wan Yuyao's clear eyes paced the cold light, and the corners of her mouth had a vicious smile:
"It's really unfortunate that my sister came here. There is only one bowl of tonic soup. If it is broken, it will be gone."
After the cold chick, Queen Qian turned her eyes and no longer looked at Wan Yuyao.
The imperial concubine has done a lot of evil in the harem and is rampant. If you let her go today, she is afraid that she will intensify the persecution of Gu Yunyao.
Thinking of this, Gu Yunxi was determined to take advantage of the victory, nodding and saying:
"Please tell the empress, she deliberately knocked over the whole bowl of black-bone chicken soup only because the slave and maid discovered something abnormal, and the meat was swallowed by the imperial concubine's pet white cat.
The queen mother only needs to take care of the white cat for a few hours to verify whether the slave's words are false. "
Queen Qian immediately ordered:
"Come on, catch the white cat!"
The people in Yongning Palace seemed to have taken precautions long ago. Hearing Queen Qian's instructions, the chief Bai Quan quickly walked into the hall.
He carried the dead white cat in his hand, with blood spots on his head and body.
Bai Quan leaned to the queen, and his bloodless face was pale with a wicked smile and half revealed:
"Qing to the Queen Mother, it's not a coincidence. Just now, the snow ball fell on the steps when he jumped down the high wall, and his neck broke and died!"
There may be a hundred ways for a cat to die, but none of them is to jump over a wall and fall to death.
Queen Qian’s face was gloomy, and she knew that Bai Quan’s fear was revealed. She deliberately killed the cat before the cat poison went on. But faced with the nonsense of him and the evidence that he had died, she was at a loss for a while. In the situation.
This Wan Yuyao is too lucky!
Empress Qian came out now but wanted to hold the evidence of the imperial concubine's cruelty to the imperial concubine in the palm of her hand, and then went to impeach her in front of the emperor and brought her down in one fell swoop. She did not expect that she would escape once again!
Concubine Xu sighed, staring blankly at Gu Yunxi and shook her head, complaining secretly that her own hand was too reckless.
As the universe shifted, Wan Yuyao had already turned defeat into victory, one by one, she took up her proudly dominant frame, squinted her eyes and watched Empress Qian’s fists clenched, her eyebrows and eyes could hardly conceal the sense of defeat, she smiled. The color gets harder:
"Sister, you have always misunderstood your sister in the past, but my sister is always thinking of all the sisters in the harem.
Chihiro Akira Honmiya is delicate and compassionate to make soup for him. Nowadays, his good intentions are met with suspicion by people with ulterior motives. If the troublemakers are not severely punished today, my sister will meet with the emperor for an explanation! "
Concubine Xu immediately raised her voice:
"The imperial concubine would be disgraced by saying this. The emperor is the king of a country, how can he be distracted by the trivial things of the harem?
The concubine is indeed at fault for neglecting the discipline of the subordinates in the palace. To allow the concubine to pay off the merits, take the offender back to severe punishment, and not bother the queen and the imperial concubine. "
Wan Yuyao sneered suddenly:
"You take it for training? Who knows that Tu Muxue comes from the younger sister's palace, and your master and servant are all in your mind that you naturally prefer her. You said to bring back to the palace for training. Who knows if you are changing your tricks to save people?"
Concubine Xu raised her eyes, her eyes were ready to come out because of the flood of fire, and she refused to reply:
"Concubine said that the training will be self-training! It is the imperial concubine who is used to misinterpreting and doubting others, so she can't trust her concubine?!"
Wan Yuyao pointed at Xu Yuanjiao a few steps forward, hissing angrily:
"Presumptuous! You are the only concubine of the first palace, but you have no fear of yelling and yelling at this palace because you have a prince?!"
Concubine Xu was doing her part, just waiting to speak, and a low and majestic voice rose leisurely outside:
"Chen, Dongchang admiral Leng Qingtang has something to see."
