General is a Villain - Chapter 299
The palace is a very harsh place.
Whether it is a palace maid or a concubine, anyone who enters the palace must verify his body.
In other words, as long as the leader enters the palace, he must be seen clearly, and there must be a clue to go to the aunt in charge of this matter.
Just to Xiaoye’s surprise, the people in charge of this matter are new people. The old people have died before, and those who leave the palace have left the palace, and few of the new people know about it.
Xiaoye thinks about it. He still has to find an old man and try his best to give money and benefits. Finally, he hears about an old maid in waiting.
The old maid of honor was the aunt in charge of this matter in the palace. She left the palace a year ago. Now she is said to live in a small village three miles outside the city.
Xiaoye sent out the news and asked someone to find it.
But the village has turned into a piece of ash. It is said that one night, thunder and sky fire burned the small village, and everyone died in the village.
Yi Xiaoqiao tut tut twice: “things are unpredictable. The only clue is lost.”
Xiaoye sighed silently: “this is also a matter of no way.”
Yi Xiaoqiao ate melon seeds: “well, but there are no airtight walls and no clues in the world. Go and check again. Who let these old palace maids leave the palace?”
“Emperor, who else can it be!” Xiaohua took the lead.
Yi Xiaoqiao looked at Xiaoye.
Xiaoye’s eyes turned: “yes, I’ll check it now.”
Xiaohua didn’t understand again: “madam, aren’t you wasting your efforts?”
“It’s a waste of time. I’ll know when she comes back.” Yi Xiaoqiao finished eating the melon seeds and cleaned his hands: “let’s go and see the old lady.”
Xiaohua followed Yi Xiaoqiao out of the door with a head of fog. Seeing the flowers in the yard, she remembered and said, “by the way, the empress who came to us before was forbidden by the emperor again. She said she had lost someone in the palace.”
Yi Xiaoqiao raised his eyebrows: “Hey, what does that mean? It’s a shame to see me in the palace? People don’t like to hear that.”
“What shall we do? Shall we take care of it?” Xiaohua is too simple and straightforward. She came to see her wife when she was yunjiao. What she talked with her wife was also a secret. She regarded her as her own person. She didn’t know that if she stepped in at this time, she would only be more and more chaotic.
“It’s none of our business. The emperor is playing with his concubine. Let’s get involved. What’s the matter? It spoils people’s interest.” Yi Xiaoqiao is not such an unintelligent person. Besides, she also has a handle in Qian Yu’s hand. She can’t take care of herself. Where can she manage yunjiao.
However, although yunjiao is a bit unruly and willful on weekdays, fortunately she is not a completely brainless person. Although she hates it, sometimes she knows how to think about things. Since she came to her, she must have thought of some perfect strategy. Otherwise, it would be safer to ask someone to bring a letter in than to come by herself, but she walked in and showed it to others.
Therefore, Yi Xiaoqiao didn’t worry about Yun Jiao at all. She first went to the old lady and sat down for a while. She talked about family affairs for a while. She also heard some interesting things about Mu Yi’an when she was a child. Then she accompanied the old lady to dinner. The two talked about Mu Yi’an, and the topic became more and more. Until the old lady felt tired, she watched the old lady sleep and left the room.
Since the old lady came out of her room, it was getting dark, and sparse stars hung in the air.
When Yi Xiaoqiao returned to the room, Xiaoye was already waiting for her.
Some things can’t be said casually in the palace, but people always have a curiosity mentality. They don’t say it on the surface, but they always like to chew their tongue behind the scenes.
Xiaoye secretly observed for an afternoon, and then found a person who could explain it. He approached her and made friends with her. Finally, he gave some money. Then he found out that this group of people were expelled from the palace because they inadvertently offended concubine Jiang.
Princess Jiang was also very powerful in front of the imperial court. The emperor loved her very much and didn’t know which one didn’t like her. He spread her gossip. Then the words fell on the aunts. It is said that Princess Jiang has been in poor health. Because she was angry, the emperor sent those people away in order to vent his anger on her.
Later, it was said that Princess Jiang had not been well and could not serve the emperor. Her relationship with the emperor gradually faded. However, the emperor always treated Princess Jiang with courtesy, but unexpectedly, Princess Jiang killed herself and made up a ballad to arrange the emperor. In a rage, the emperor demoted her to the cold palace, where she died.
Yi Xiaoqiao held his head in one hand and shook the palace sash around his waist in boredom. The corners of his lips contained a sarcastic smile: “the imperial palace is really a place that eats people and doesn’t spit bones.”
“Madam, what should I do? The clue is broken again.”
Xiaohua curled her mouth and muttered, “this clue hasn’t been connected at all, okay!”
Xiaoye looked at her helplessly, poked her head and said, “you, when can you use your brain!”
Xiaohua was stabbed and looked at her with her head covered: “why don’t I use my head? Why do you scold me?”
“Are you really stupid, or are you pretending to be silly?” Xiaoye glared at her and explained to her: “the blood lotus sect was exterminated in one or two years, that is to say, if she really entered the palace, it would be one or two years, but at this time, someone cleaned up the mammy who was responsible for checking her body. What do you say it means?”
Xiaohua asked innocently, “what does it mean?”
“The palace guard sand is gone. She must not be a virgin. Since she was not a virgin into the palace, she must have bribed these mammies, but she was afraid that this matter would be exposed, so she tried to get rid of them.”
“Is this man so powerful?” Floret was frightened.
Lobular nodded: “so it is certain that when this person enters the palace, it should not be simple. Second, this person quickly obtains power and can do it.”
She said with a sigh: “I thought this concubine Jiang might be the leader of the cult, but she actually died like this… Was the leader seriously ill when she entered the palace, and she entered the palace to enjoy her life?”
Yi Xiaoqiao shook his head and said with a smile, “if you really want to enjoy your life, why do you enter the palace? Xuelian teaches those gold, silver and jewelry to take away a box casually. You can’t enjoy all your wealth for a lifetime. When you enter the palace, you are trembling and have to serve men. Why wronged yourself.”
Xiaoye’s eyes lit up: “the lady means…”
“If she has a reason to go to the palace, I think the greatest possibility should be revenge.” It was Yi Xiaoqiao and Qian Yu who jointly destroyed the blood lotus sect. If the leader of the blood lotus sect entered the palace, the most thing she wanted to do was to kill the emperor, but she didn’t do it. Maybe the time was not ripe, or… Fell in love with him?
Yi Xiaoqiao turned his eyes, smiled and said, “by the way, what ballad did Princess Jiang sing? Did you find out?”
