A Promotion Guide in the Harem - C183
Leng Qiyue’s words left Zuo Xiangyue speechless. Everyone knew that the empress dowager worked for the government, so he naturally didn’t dare to say anything about her.
Dongfang Haotian said, “Okay, there’s nothing else. You can leave now.”
The Minister of the Left cast an angry glance at Leng Qiyue before he left the hall with a group of officials.
Dongfang Haotian asked, “What is it?”
Leng Qiyue took out the map and poem that Mu Zixin had secretly written for Dongfang Haotian, “Last night, I went to the late emperor’s chamber and accidentally found his will. The late emperor was not a fatuous ruler. At the very least, he was not in the mood. ”
Dongfang Haotian looked it over and said, “It’s just as I thought.”
Leng Qiyue pointed at the poem and said, “Can you see what kind of riddle this is?”
Dongfang Haotian looked at it and said, “It seems to be a riddle, this saying, ‘A faint smile on a beautiful lady, two lines of clear tears falling down her face’.” It should be the word ice. ” Dongfang Haotian wrote the word ice after the poem.
Leng Qiyue smiled and said, “Interesting. A beauty carved from jade is indeed cold.”
Dongfang Haotian laughed: “Maybe not, I was just guessing randomly.”
While the two were studying, the eunuch’s voice came from outside. “Esteemed Empress Dowager has arrived!”
Leng Qiyue was startled. “This letter was written in secret by Mu Zixin. The original one was taken by the empress dowager, so she definitely sent someone to monitor my movements. Otherwise, how could I be in Emperor Xian’s chambers?” “How about this, I’ll take it back and study it. I’ll come look for you when I get an idea.” After she finished speaking, Leng Qiyue quickly stuffed the items into her pocket.
When the empress dowager entered, she saw that Leng Qiyue was tugging at Dongfang Haotian’s sleeve with a pleading expression.
Dongfang Haotian deliberately said, “Stop messing around. You’re the imperial concubine, how can you go out and play around? Quickly go back and rest.”
Leng Qiyue walked out with a look of disappointment and didn’t forget to pay her respects to the empress dowager.
When the empress dowager saw that Leng Qiyue had left, she thought to herself, “You want to leave the palace again? You just have to stay in the palace obediently. Otherwise, I’ll make sure you never return.”
“Is there something wrong with the empress dowager?” Dongfang Haotian didn’t call her mother anymore and was a bit unfamiliar with her.
The empress dowager said, “Lin Fei’s body isn’t feeling well. This Dowager wants to bring her to Jade Buddha Temple to pray for the gods.”
“Oh? We will send someone to escort you. ” Dongfang Haotian said in an indifferent tone.
The Empress Dowager shook her head. “There’s no need. This Dowager will probably be gone for a few more days. The Emperor is busy with his business, so there’s no need to worry.”
“Then the empress dowager will take care.” Dongfang Haotian couldn’t wait for the empress dowager to leave the palace.
Her Majesty nodded and left. Dongfang Haotian pondered for a moment and said: “Could it be that the empress dowager has solved the mystery and is ready to go treasure hunting?”
After returning to the Moon Palace, Leng Qiyue called in Mu Zixin, Han Liu, and Xiao Die. They sat together, eating melon seeds, sipping tea, guessing puzzles.
Han Liu said, “Since the emperor guessed that it was an ice character, could it be a place with ice hidden treasure in its name?”
Leng Qiyue asked, “Is there any place with the word ‘ice’ in it?”
Han Liu thought for a moment and said, “Then the only one is the Ice Jade Mountain, which became known as the Ice Jade.”
Leng Qiyue’s eyes lit up. “Come on, let’s think about what Ice Jade Mountain has to do with these lines.”
Xiao Die pouted and said, “Don’t ask me, I haven’t been to that place for long.”
Mu Zixin said, “Don’t ask me. Master and I have never been to Ice Jade Mountain.”
Han Liu frowned and said, “The phrase ‘a man is like a speck of dust that leaves only a single soul to die’.” It seems to be a combination of earth, big, eyes and mouth. ”
After a long while, Han Liu said excitedly, “It should be a ‘Mourning’. I remember that there is a place called Nine Mourning Town in the Ice Jade Mountain. It couldn’t be there, right? ”
Leng Qiyue nodded her head and said, “This saying, ‘To look forward to the goddess of the palace is ten thousand years from now.’” “It really does look like a ‘peace of mind’.”
“But there are still two lines here.” Xiao Die said.
Han Liu laughed and said, “These two lines of” I’ve worked hard to grow the field, but I’ve left a corpse and a soul behind. ” “It should be a place with fields and a lonely grave.” The door was shut tight, and no entrance could be seen. “It should be the entrance to the treasure trove.”
Leng Qiyue smiled and said, “It’s really three smelly smiths against Zhuge Liang.”
Han Liu asked, “What stinker and Zhuge Liang?”
Leng Qiyue smiled and changed the topic. “Liu, go find the emperor. Our guesses tell him that I won’t be going. The empress dowager will definitely have someone watch over me.” “When you go to see the Emperor, ask him to tell him that I’m going out of the palace. You don’t dare to stop me.”
“Yes, this servant understands.” Han Liu agreed happily.
The four women racked their brains to come up with something. In fact, the empress dowager had already thought about it last night. When Dongfang Haotian found out about it, he said to Han Liu in surprise, “Tell your master that the empress dowager has already gone to the nearby Jade Buddha Temple. Ask her what she’s going to do.”
Seeing Dongfang Haotian’s unsightly expression, Han Liu knew that the situation was serious and hurried back to report it.
When Leng Qiyue heard Han Liu’s words, she exclaimed, “As expected of the old fox, he actually got here before us.”
Han Liu said, “The emperor wants this servant to ask the Empress what we should do next.”
Leng Qiyue thought for a moment before saying, “Looks like it’s time for Bai Lan to make a trip. Mu Zixin, go find Bai Lan and have him go to the Dragon Reaching Palace. “Han Liu, let’s go to the Jade Lotus Palace and look for the emperor. Today is the day that Concubine Rong will be sleeping with us.”
When Mu Zixin received the order, he immediately ran out. He said hesitantly, “It’s rare for Imperial Concubine Rong and the Empress to not get into a relationship. Aren’t you afraid of creating a new grudge by disturbing her this time?”
Leng Qiyue replied, “It’s fine. If the empress dowager had gotten the money first, I’m afraid she would have immediately recruited soldiers to overthrow the imperial court.”
Han Liu nodded. The situation was urgent, and she really couldn’t care less as she followed Leng Qiyue back to the palace.
Arriving at the Blue Lotus Palace, the most surprising thing was that Dongfang Haotian wasn’t there. Rong Fei looked at Leng Qiyue in surprise and said, “What is it, elder sister?”
Leng Qiyue asked, “Aren’t you attending to your little sister today? Why hasn’t the emperor come yet? I just have something urgent that I need to ask the emperor, so don’t get me wrong. “You also know that big sister has six armors, she won’t be able to do anything even if she snatches away the emperor.”
Rong Fei giggled. “Big sister was too kind. Little sister never misunderstood, but the emperor came in the first place. Just now, Butterfly Concubine sent someone to say she heard the empress dowager and eunuch’s conversation and wanted to tell the emperor in private, so she took them away.”
Leng Qiyue frowned and said, “Then I’ll be troubling little sister. Big sister will go and snatch the person back for you.”
Rong Fei looked at Leng Qiyue’s back and smiled faintly, she didn’t take her words to heart at all. She didn’t believe that the Emperor would come back. The Butterfly Consort wasn’t someone that was easy to deal with.
Leng Qiyue brought Liu Han to the Hundred Fairies Palace. Just as she reached the door, she heard a eunuch shout, “The Imperial Concubine has arrived!” His voice was extremely loud, and he was purposely reporting this to his mistress.
