Chapter 436 Rouze's Magical Operation
Chapter 436 Rouze's Magical Operation
The family dinner on New Year’s Eve was very grand.
After all, not only the emperor and empress Yinzhen and Yixiu attended, but also the retired emperor and empress dowager Xuanye and Uyachengbi.
As the eldest grandson, Honghui toasted the New Year with his wife Nian Shilan.
Yixiu sat on the phoenix throne, her face full of smiles.
In addition to their family, there were also the beauties from Yinzhen's harem at the banquet, sitting neatly in two rows, which was quite pleasing to the eyes.
Yixiu's hand holding the wine glass paused for a moment.
Her eyes fell on Yunli again.
Now Yunli is not young anymore, but he keeps himself clean and does not even have a concubine or maid.
Sure enough, people are different.
Hongshi sat at the bottom, looking anxiously at a person sitting in the seat for the ministers' families.
Yunli followed Hongshi's line of sight and smiled, "Nephew Hongshi, are you looking at the young lady from the Dong'e family?"
"Don't worry, it will be your turn to get married this year."
Hongshi chuckled, "I'm not in a hurry, I'm not in a hurry."
Yunli looked at him and understood the thoughts of this silly nephew thoroughly.
Sometimes he would wonder, his nephews of the same age have all found their own homes, so where is his home?
He was afraid that he would never meet such a poetic and picturesque woman in his lifetime.
Li Jingyan was originally looking at his son. When he saw his son's eyes fall on Dong E, he finally understood something.
She lowered her voice and said to Yixiu: "Empress, please choose a good day this year for Hongshi to get married."
Yixiu glanced at Li Jingyan who was speaking regardless of the occasion, and said helplessly: "Okay, this year."
"You, Hongshi is grown up now, you should worry less about him."
Li Jingyan said: "Hongshi is my son, how can I not worry about him? My heart is the same as the Queen's."
Yixiu thought, this is the first time Li Jingyan speaks so well.
-----------------
In the past, when attending the New Year’s Eve banquet, Yixiu always went out for a walk.
Now that she sat in the main seat, it would be inconvenient for her to go out for some fresh air in public.
However, the emperor and the empress dowager were old, and they had to return to the palace after not sitting for long.
Yi Xiu said: "I will see the Emperor Father and Empress off."
Yinzhen waved his hand slightly, "Go ahead, thank you for your hard work."
Yixiu said: "It is my duty to do all this, how can it be hard?"
Yinzhen looked at her and smiled, and made a chuckle.
Yixiu lowered her head slightly - Yinzhen must have drunk too much.
The Hall of Mental Cultivation where the retired emperor now lives is not far behind the Palace of Heavenly Purity and can be reached in just a few steps.
Shoukang Palace is not far away.
After seeing the guests off, Yixiu took a stroll and indeed met Yunli.
"Fourteenth brother."
The corners of Yunli's mouth rose slightly.
This time, it was Yixiu who took the initiative to call me.
Both of them knew that time was running out, so Yixiu didn't bother to be polite with him.
"Fourteenth brother, how is the matter I asked you to check going?"
Yunli then realized that Yixiu had always called herself "I" in front of him.
The corners of his mouth lifted completely.
"I have already found some clues to the matter that the Empress's sister-in-law asked me to investigate."
At this point, Yunli's smile faded.
"Speaking of which, I don't understand what they are planning now."
"Master Mo Qiu and Master Mo Yan of Ganlu Temple are now giving out porridge and treating illnesses every day in the villages near Ganlu Temple and in the slums of the capital. Now everyone calls them living Bodhisattvas!"
"Some people even made amulets for her and offered incense to her every day."
“It has a pretty good reputation.”
Yixiu also frowned slightly when she heard this.
Why did Rouze suddenly act like she was doing good deeds?
Could it be that she really turned over a new leaf?
Yixiu thought about it again and felt that it was impossible - a person's character is difficult to change.
Rouze was born without a kind heart and was full of hypocrisy. How could she suddenly become a good person?
I'm afraid it's just to pave the way back to the palace.
By the way, let’s go back to the palace.
She had done countless wrong and vicious things before, and I'm afraid Yinzhen had already been tired of her in his heart. However, due to Xinghui's military power and ability, he had to let her stay in the palace.
Now, Rouze and Yinzhen have not seen each other for three years. I am afraid that the evil things she has done in Yinzhen's mind have gradually faded.
If word spread now that Rouze had done so many good deeds, Yinzhen might change his mind about her again.
By then, she will have a reputation for doing good deeds. I am afraid that she is returning to the palace this time just to aim for the position of imperial concubine.
If she really succeeded in her plan, it would only mean that she, Yixiu, was incompetent.
"Fourteenth brother, now that I have no one to use outside the palace, I can only ask you to do one more thing for me."
Yunyu said, "But do we want to suppress Master Moqiu's reputation?"
Yixiu nodded, "This is not a good thing. If you are unwilling to help me..."
"I am willing!"
Yunli interrupted Yixiu hastily.
"These little things are just a small favor. Compared with what the imperial sister-in-law has done for me, what are they? Besides, Master Mo Qiu is really not a good person."
Yunli grew up listening to these stories in Yinzhen's mansion, so he naturally knew what kind of person Rouze was.
"Thank you, Fourteenth Brother."
After watching Yunzhen leave, Jianqiu said, "I didn't expect that Concubine Rou would become such a person. Fortunately, the Fourteenth Master discovered it in time. Otherwise, if she entered the palace and became a noble concubine..."
I feel a little scared when I think of Jianqiu.
Although Yixiu has never been at a disadvantage to Rouze, Rouze always causes trouble for her from time to time.
Yixiu patted the back of Jianqiu's hand and said, "What's there to be afraid of? She has been unable to turn over in my place for a long time."
-----------------
At this time, the secret agents of the Guo Luoluo clan went to Xianfu Palace again.
The guards of Xianfu Palace only said that Concubine Rui was not allowed to disturb the Emperor and the Empress, but when someone offered money and wanted to go see her, everyone turned a blind eye.
"My Lady Rui, today I saw the Empress and Prince Xun together again."
At this time, Concubine Rui's face became even paler.
The poison she had been suffering from had not been treated in time, and the poison she had been suffering from was more serious than that of Cao Qinmo.
So the body becomes weaker.
She knew she probably wasn't going to survive.
Even if the affair between Yixiu and Prince Xun was exposed, there would be no good result. Instead, he would be sentenced to death by the emperor because he knew too much.
But she didn't care. If the mission failed, the Guo Luoluo clan would not let her live. She just wanted to drag as many people into the water as possible.
"I'm going to think of a way to expose them in front of the Emperor!"
