The Queen's Beggar's Wife

Chapter 118 The Injured Maid

Chu Yueyin secretly looked at Mrs. Mei from the corner of her eye, but she was as quiet as ever.Chu Yueyin was a little unsure whether Mrs. Mei was a deep city, or she really didn't care.

Chu Yueyin covered her mouth with her plain hand and yawned a little, then gently stroked her lower abdomen with the other hand, and said with a smile: "Recently, I often feel sleepy, which must be caused by my body getting heavier. Zhen Ma'am, don't you think so?"

Mrs. Zhen's heart skipped a beat again, and she said with an apologetic smile: "Although this concubine has never conceived a child, I heard from the nuns in the palace that if this woman is pregnant, she will feel very tired and always want to sleep. Empress Madam Don't worry too much."

Chu Yueyin was thoughtful, and said slowly: "Hearing what you said, I feel relieved."

All the concubines sat for a while, and then they quit Kunning Palace together.Concubine Lixian and Mrs. Zhen walked in front, while Mrs. Liang and Mrs. Mei walked behind.

Mrs. Liang looked forward to it, and said: "I didn't expect the empress to hang the "Hundred Sons and Thousands of Grandchildren" in the front hall. It would be great if I could get pregnant with the empress's blessing."

Mrs. Mei looked at Mrs. Zhen's back, curled her lips, and a sarcasm quickly flashed in her eyes, "Sister Liang, my sister thinks that the empress doesn't seem to like the picture of "Hundred Sons and Thousands of Grandchildren" very much."

Mrs. Mei's voice was neither loud nor soft, just in time for Concubine Lixian and Mrs. Zhen who were walking in front to hear.When Madam Zhen heard this, her body shook.As a result, the sarcasm in Mrs. Mei's eyes intensified.

Concubine Lixian and Mrs. Zhen exchanged glances before getting on their respective chariots.

Mrs. Mei thought for a while, and said to Mrs. Liang: "Sister Liang, how about my sister accompany you to the Plum Garden to enjoy the flowers?"

Mrs. Mei has always been aloof and doesn't have close friendships with others, but now she took the initiative to invite Mrs. Liang.At that moment, Madam Liang didn't think too much about it, and readily agreed: "Okay! My sister has long wanted to swim with my sister Mei, but... I haven't been able to find a suitable opportunity."

"Sister Liang has a good temper. My younger sister should have made friends with her earlier." Mrs. Mei said as she took Mrs. Liang's arm.The two of them walked slowly along the palace road without taking a chariot, and went to the plum garden.

After everyone left, Chu Yueyin sat on a chair and stared fixedly at the "Picture of Hundred Sons and Thousand Grandchildren" on the wall, before sighing softly after a long time.I hope today's trick of knocking the mountain and shaking the tiger can make Mrs. Zhen restrain herself and keep herself safe. As long as Mrs. Zhen stops her hand, she can let the past go.Otherwise, even if Mrs. Zhen has a strong family support behind her, she cannot escape the fate of being abandoned.

It was only later that Chu Yueyin realized that she had thought the problem too simply. There were a lot of things that she didn't pursue, and the other party would be grateful and calm down, and on the contrary, they would intensify.And that day is coming soon.

On this day, Chu Yueyin came to the desolate imperial garden and walked slowly along the path.Ever since Imperial Physician Pang came to ask for pulse and said that for the health of the dragon fetus, it is best to spend half an hour walking slowly every day. for a walk.

Tired from walking, Chu Yueyin sat down on the boulder beside Biyuan Pool.Due to the cold weather, thin ice has formed on Biyuan Pool, through which the gurgling water below can be faintly seen.The reed grass by the pool is only bare and dry, covered with fine ice.

Chu Yueyin looked at it for a while, then suddenly remembered something, raised her head and waved to Beimingyu, "Xiyan, have you read all the brochures you brought from Aunt Xinyi? Did you find anything?"

Beiming Jade approached Chu Yueyin, and said in a low voice, "I finished watching it last night. A year ago, the Emperor gave Mrs. Mei a jade ruyi after spending the night in the Lvheyuan. I have to see it with my own eyes to know. Is it blood wishful?"

"How do you plan to investigate?" Chu Yueyin asked in a low voice.

"Night spy."

"No! Some time ago, the emperor ordered Leng Feng to strengthen the guards in the harem. If you walk around at night, you will be easily spotted."

"Miss, don't worry, if I'm really found out, I will escape from the palace, and I will never implicate you."

"You are wrong! If you are really found out, if you escape back to Kunning Palace, the guards will follow you to expose your identity. But if you escape from the palace, Leng Feng only needs to investigate palace by palace in the harem, Sooner or later, it will be found that Kunning Palace is missing a maid, and your identity will still be exposed."

Beimingyu asked unwillingly: "Then don't you want to investigate?"

"I know that you have to read it before you can feel at ease, but you don't have to check it secretly."

"What do you mean, miss?"

"Let's go and investigate." Chu Yueyin looked at Beiming Yu, raised her plain hand and gently plucked a strand of black hair on her temples, and explained leisurely, "Didn't the imperial guards catch a servant stealing Are the treasures in the Yun Palace sold outside the palace? You used this as an excuse to tell Mrs. Mei that there was a jade ruyi in the list given by the attendant, and the origin could not be explained, so you were ordered by the Palace to go and check it out. Is the Ruyi in Mrs. Mei's hand still there? Mrs. Mei will definitely show you Ruyi in order to clear the suspicion."

Beiming Yu showed joy on her face.This is indeed a good way.

"Miss, then I..."

Chu Yueyin interrupted Beiming Yu, "You go now." She knew that Beiming Yu was anxious to know the answer.

"Thank you, Miss, for your success." Beiming Yu turned around to leave, stopped abruptly, and asked hesitantly, "Miss, are you okay without Xiyan's company?"

Chu Yueyin didn't like the feeling of being hugged. Since Beimingyu entered the palace, if she went out during the daytime, she often didn't bring other guards and maids with her except Yinqiao and Beimingyu.Ever since she accidentally discovered that Zixia reported her whereabouts to Queen Mother Zhao, Chu Yueyin's trust in Zixia dropped sharply, leaving her in Kunning Palace as Aunt Jianing's assistant, and rarely took her out.

"Don't worry, Yinqiao is still here." Chu Yueyin said with a smile.Even if those concubines regarded Chu Yueyin as a thorn in their side and a thorn in their flesh, they would not dare to attack her in broad daylight, unless they did not want to live anymore.What's more, there are hidden guards sent by Yu Wenhua beside her.

"Then, Xi Yan, go and come back quickly." Beiming Yu turned around and told Yin Qiao who was beside her, "Be more careful, don't leave Miss until I come back." Seeing Yin Qiao nodded in agreement, Bei Ming Yu Fang left at ease.

Chu Yueyin sat for a while, feeling a little cold all over her body, and was about to get up and walk around when she suddenly heard a woman's exclamation not far away.She followed the sound and saw a maid in a light green palace dress sitting on the ground with a broom beside her.

"Yinqiao, let's go over and see what happened." Yinqiao quickly came over to help Chu Yueyin up, and led her to the palace maid who was showing pain.

When there was still a distance of about ten feet, Chu Yueyin stopped cautiously, and carefully sized up the somewhat familiar palace maid who was sitting on the ground. She was in her early twenties, with a round face, big eyes, and a pair of beautiful eyes. Liu Mei frowned tightly, and her bright red lips were bitten by her white teeth, as if she was enduring inexplicable pain.

It turned out to be her!This maid is responsible for cleaning the roads of the imperial garden.Chu Yueyin would often see her when walking in the imperial garden, always sweeping the road calmly, even when the road was muddy when the snow melted, she never heard her complain.

Chu Yueyin nodded towards Yinqiao, motioning for her to come forward and ask.Yinqiao stepped forward and asked with concern: "Sister, what happened, why are you sitting on the ground?"

When the maid heard Yinqiao's question, she suddenly raised her head, she was a little surprised when she saw that it was Yinqiao, and then she saw Chu Yueyin behind Yinqiao, she panicked.She put her hands on the ground and tried to stand up, but failed twice.

"Don't move anymore, or the injury will be more serious." Chu Yueyin carefully found that the maid's left ankle was swollen and high, and it seemed that she accidentally sprained it.

"To the empress, the maidservant named Xiao Ping is the maid in charge of cleaning the imperial garden. I accidentally stepped on a stone and sprained my foot. I couldn't help crying out in pain and disturbed the empress. I beg the empress to forgive me. !"

"You didn't do it on purpose, how could I blame you. Besides, if I had suffered such a crime, I would probably have yelled a long time ago. How could you bear the pain like this?" Chu Yueyin said as she spoke. Stepping forward, "If Yin Qiao helps you, can you go?"

Yinqiao squatted down according to Chu Yueyin's intention, and stretched out her hand to help Xiao Ping up.

Xiao Ping didn't cooperate, and looked at the weak Yinqiao and said, "Does Aunt Yinqiao know martial arts? The servant girl can't use any strength on her feet. If Aunt Yinqiao knows martial arts, then the servant girl can walk. Otherwise, I'm afraid it will be a one-step I can't go out either."

Although Yinqiao hadn't been in the palace for a long time, because she was Chu Yueyin's personal maid, she had just been promoted to a second-class female official a few days ago, and her palace attire was changed from light pink to dark green.Therefore, Xiao Ping is older than Yinqiao, but calls Yinqiao her aunt.

Chu Yueyin heard it, "I didn't expect you to be injured so badly. I still have to find another way."

When Xiao Ping heard this, she knew that Yinqiao didn't know martial arts, and a look of relief flashed in her eyes.

Chu Yueyin didn't notice Xiao Ping's strangeness, and looked around the quiet surroundings, knowing that no one would go to the imperial garden to play at this time, so she said, "Yinqiao, you and Ben Gong helped Xiao Ping there Next to the big rock, and then you find a guard nearby."

Xiao Ping panicked, "No way, the Empress is a body of gold, how could she do such a thing for a servant. Let the servant sit on the ground and wait for the guards to arrive."

"It's cold on the ground, and you're injured again, so please sit on the boulder first, according to me." Chu Yueyin and Yinqiao helped Xiao Ping up, one on the left and the other on the right. She helped her to sit on the boulder beside Biyuan Pool.Yinqiao left to find the guards.

Xiao Ping watched Yinqiao's figure disappear into the bushes, a venomous look flashed in her eyes, she stretched out her arm and pointed to a place on the other side of Biyuan Pool, "Empress, what do you see over there?"
