Chapter 269 Queen's Strategy
That day, Yinshuang, the eldest maid of the Chuxiu Palace, led a group of maids early in the morning to pour out the waste water from the washing of the palace, and was about to go to the Huanyiyuan to get the queen's clothes. But I heard two court ladies arguing on the road.

A court lady said: "I obviously picked up this gold outside the cold palace, how can you say that I stole it?"

Another court lady said: "How could it not be lost by me? Concubine Xu Guifei gave it to me yesterday, but I woke up this morning and found it was gone. You didn't steal it. Could it be that it has grown legs and can't walk? It must be You stole mine!"

The two struggled endlessly, each had their own arguments, and after a while, a large group of court ladies gathered around to watch the excitement.

Yinshuang winked behind her, and the group of maids behind her immediately stepped forward to push the crowd away. First, they dismissed all the court ladies watching the excitement, and only the two quarreling palace ladies remained.

Yinshuang's eyes fell on the gold in the hands of a court lady, she looked at her and said, "Since you said that you picked up the gold, what evidence do you have?"

Unexpectedly, the palace maid hurriedly nodded and said: "Some, some, I dug this gold out of the mud. There is a mark next to it, which is exactly the shape of this piece of gold. Aunt Yin, I will know if I go and take a look." I was lying!"

So Yinshuang led a group of maids to the direction of the cold palace.

"Aunt Yin, just look, this is where I picked up the gold. When you look at the piece of gold, it clearly fits the seal so completely. I obviously picked it up."

The court lady put the gold in a depression printed on the muddy floor beside the cold palace, and it fit perfectly without any regrets.

All the maids who saw this scene involuntarily turned their attention to the other maid, as if waiting to see what she would say next.

Under the eyes of everyone, the maid became panicked. At this moment, there was a sudden commotion at the gate of Lenggong.

"Two gentlemen, I really accidentally lost a gold ingot. Didn't I accidentally go to the wrong place and come to the door yesterday? I woke up this morning and found that something was missing. I searched all over Wuyan Palace. I came, but I didn’t find it. You two, please let me go out and look for it. I am Shen Changzai who just came in yesterday. I will look for my lost things nearby. If there is nothing, I will come back immediately. "

Everyone looked up and saw a young girl in a purple palace concubine costume standing at the gate of the Leng Palace, pleading bitterly to the two guards guarding the gate.

Yinshuang looked along the girl's smooth and smooth face, and her eyes suddenly changed.

Does this look look like the rash that Xu Guiren said that day? It looks very serious? This is obviously nothing!
Yinshuang gave a glance to the maid beside her, and immediately a maid walked over.

"The maid Jinxiu has met Shen Changzai." The maid saluted at the gate of Lenggong.

Ye Xiaomo continued to pretend to be confused without changing his expression: "You..."

"Chang Zai just needs to answer a few questions for me."

Ye Xiaomo nodded with a confused face.

"Why did Shen Chang feel ill in your body a few days ago?"

Ye Xiaomo said in confusion: "I have been coughing a lot in the past few days. I was afraid that I would bring the illness to the Queen, so I never went to pay her respects."

The maid said: "Shen Chang is sure?"

Ye Xiaomo nodded, and asked in confusion, "Why are you asking these questions?"

The maid said: "It's nothing, Chang Zai will find out soon, so please be safe and don't be impatient."

Hearing these words, Ye Xiaomo immediately knew that his plan had succeeded.

After the group of maids gathered outside left, Ye Xiaomo returned to the dilapidated courtyard of Lenggong humming a little tune with peace of mind.

Lan Yue and Yan Zi watched her walk into the yard with a happy face and couldn't help but ask, "Did something happen to Chang Zai?"

I always feel that they often seem mysterious in the past two days. I didn't see them all day yesterday, and they just popped out of nowhere at night.

"Oh, I just walked around casually and saw two ants fighting. I found it interesting, so I'm in a good mood."

Lanyue and Monk Yanzi Erzhang couldn't figure it out: "Ants fighting?"

The two looked at each other and realized that their master was becoming more and more confused now.

……

But it was said that after Yinshuang took the maids to Huanyiyuan and returned to Chuxiu Palace, she immediately took Na Jinxiu to the queen's bedroom.

The palace had already changed its clothes and was eating breakfast.

Seeing Yinshuang came in bending over with a court lady, she stopped her chopsticks and said, "But what's the matter?"

Yinshuang gave the palace maid a glance from the corner of her eyes, and the palace maid Jinxiu immediately knelt down.

Yin Shuang whispered something into Empress Sun's ear. After the latter listened, a trace of anger appeared on her gentle and elegant face. Her menacing gaze fell on the kneeling Splendid Palace Maid and asked: " Is this possible?"

The maid immediately said: "Report to the Empress, there is indeed something!"

Empress Sun's face became serious, she frowned and said, "Send someone to call Xu Guiren, Feng Cairen, Zhao Meiren, and Zhou Promise to me!"

After a while, all four of them were called to Chuxiu Palace.

When Xu Guiren and Feng Cairen came to Chuxiu Palace, Zhao Meiren and Zhou Xuying were already waiting by the side.

Empress Sun was sitting on the main seat, holding a cup of tea in her hand, holding the lid of the teacup with a long armored hand with two fingers at the back of the tail, and tapping the teacup lightly, with her usual peaceful eyes. A trace of coldness that has never been seen before.

Both Xu Guiren and Feng Cairen sensed that something was wrong, so they couldn't help saluting cautiously to the person in the chair: "Concubine Xu Guiren (Feng Cairen) has seen the empress, and the empress is a thousand years old."

"Get up." Empress Sun said calmly, without even raising her eyes to look at them.

So Xu Guiren and Feng Cairen could only stand there in embarrassment, but they didn't expect that Empress Sun would not say anything next.

The house was terribly quiet, even the sound of a needle being dropped could be heard.

"Are you convicted?"

Empress Sun took a sip of her tea, and suddenly put the teacup heavily on the table beside her, making a crisp sound instantly.

Xu Guiren and the other three concubines shook together, but they all had puzzled eyes.

"Your Majesty, I don't know... I don't know what crime we have committed. Can you... Could you ask your Majesty to clarify."

Xu Guiren boldly asked, but unexpectedly the queen suddenly looked at her with cold eyes and snorted coldly: "Xu Guiren! I really don't know who borrowed your courage to dare to send her together privately. The other concubines came together to lie to me!"

Xu Guiren's heart skipped a beat.
