Empress with no Virtue Chapter 35: Reverse
www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of Queen Wude!
"Mother, why are you here?" Ji Wu Jiu's face grew longer when he saw the Queen Mother. Although he was dissatisfied with what he saw, he never wanted the Queen Mother to interfere in this matter.
"Why can't the Ai family come? Although I have ignored the affairs of the Sixth Palace for a long time, I can't tolerate anyone disturbing the harem. Naturally, I have to patrol it from time to time to prevent anyone from doing anything dirty. , stained the face and blood of my royal family." The Queen Mother came closer and looked at the few people standing outside the hall. She was not in a hurry to punish them, but sarcastically said, "I didn't expect that the Yinghua Palace would be so lively today, even if the Queen Mother If you want to reminisce with Commander Lu, it’s better to avoid some Buddhas.”
This is a very unpleasant thing to say. Why do we need to avoid Buddha when reminiscing about the past? It must be that they are doing something tolerant.
Ye Zhenzhen felt cold all over. She had never been so passive. She clenched her fists, forced herself to calm down, cleared her throat, and said, "Mother, you are worrying too much. I was practicing in Yinghua Hall, and happened to meet Commander Lu. Everyone knew that Commander Lu was very skilled in martial arts, so I asked him for advice. One or two. I think the Buddha would not blame me for turning to many masters."
The Queen Mother sneered, "A chance encounter? Commander Lu is not on duty here today, how can I meet you by chance?"
Ye Zhenzhen also sneered, "Queen Mother is really knowledgeable, she even remembers clearly when Commander Lu was on duty." The implication is that this is a trick you did to catch the traitor.
The Queen Mother was really no match for Ye Zhenzhen. She turned to look at Ji Wu Jiu, "Your queen and your childhood sweetheart meet here, don't you have anything to say?"
Ji Wu Jiu was staring at Ye Zhen Zhen the whole time. Although he was unhappy to hear what the Queen Mother said, at this time, he really wanted to know what was going on. He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Queen, I will give you a chance to explain."
"Are you really here to listen to my explanation?" Ye Zhenzhen looked at him coldly and said sarcastically, "In that case, why didn't you hear my explanation just now?" It was obviously with the Queen Mother, What to pretend now!
Ji Wu Jiu’s expression darkened. The Queen Mother said angrily, "How dare you dare to talk to the emperor like this! It's so lawless! Come on, get this adulterous couple!"
A group of people around wanted to step forward to catch him. Ye Zhenzhen raised her eyebrows coldly, widened her eyes, and stepped forward, "Who dares!"
Her powerful and angry roar really frightened the people around her to the point where they hesitated. After all, she is the queen. If you are disrespectful to her now, if she turns over in the future, it will be too easy to crush them to death.
Ye Zhenzhen looked at the Queen Mother calmly and said, "The Queen Mother cares about the innocence and tranquility in the harem. I can understand that, but if you take someone without any evidence, then you really have no law, right?" "If you have the ability, come up with evidence.
The Queen Mother had known that she had this trick, so she raised her hand and waved lightly, "Search him."
This "he" naturally refers to Lu Li. The Queen's body cannot be searched easily. Based on the common practice that if there is adultery, there must be something private, you can also infer that if there is something private, there must be adultery. Therefore, if something related to Ye Zhenzhen is found from Lu Li, then today's matter will not go well.
Su Yue was so nervous that she could hardly feel her heartbeat. She watched from the sidelines as several eunuchs pounced on Lu Li and searched randomly, her hands holding the purse unconsciously tightening. Fortunately, fortunately, fortunately, Master Biao gave her the purse as soon as he came, otherwise it would be impossible to explain it with ten thousand mouths. This queen mother is so scheming!
After the eunuchs searched him, they found nothing.
It doesn’t matter if she can’t find it, the Queen Mother thought to herself, she can’t let Ye Zhenzhen go this time. So she said, "Then please, Commander Lu, explain why you showed up here tonight and had a pleasant chat with the queen?"
At this time, Lu Li, who had been silent since he had just met the Queen Mother, finally spoke, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I am here to await your arrival on Your Majesty's secret order. As for what happened, I don't know."
The Queen Mother was stunned when she heard this and looked at Ji Wu Jiu.
Ji Wu Jiu was also stunned, "I have never sent you any secret orders, let alone announced that you are here."
"Wei Chen did not dare to tell any lies. Today, there was indeed a chamberlain who came with royal belongings to give instructions to Wei Chen. Although Wei Chen was confused, he did not dare to slack off, so he followed the instructions of the chamberlain. When I got here, I didn't expect the Queen's Fengjia to be here. The ministers couldn't wait for the emperor to come, so they boldly stepped forward to inquire about the Queen. The Queen held a martial arts secret book and asked the ministers a few words, and then it happened that The Emperor and the Queen Mother are waiting for them."
The words were so frank that even Ye Zhenzhen believed it.
It's just that it's a little weird to use royal objects to issue secret orders. The emperor has no shortage of paper and pen, so it doesn't take much effort to write a note, or he can also ask the **** around him to deliver an oral message. This way he can deliver oral messages and get tokens at the same time... Haha.
After hearing what he said, Ji Wu Jiu asked, "Oh? What royal thing did that **** bring you?"
Lu Li opened his palms and held a white disc-shaped object with a diameter of more than an inch. Feng Youde walked over and took it out and presented it to Ji Wu Jiu.
It is a piece of mutton-fat white jade carved with nine dragons and auspicious patterns. It is white and moist, and looks like gelatin. It is absolutely extraordinary. This is not the point, the point is that this is indeed Ji Wu Jiu's thing. The jade worn by the emperor should be worn in different colors according to different seasons on important occasions. He should wear green jade in spring, red jade in summer, white jade in autumn and black jade in winter. This piece of Nine Dragons Xiang pattern pendant was worn by him in autumn. It was already winter now, so he had already taken it off and put it away, but somehow it ended up in Lu Li's hands.
A trace of doubt flashed across Ji Wu Jiu’s face.
Not only him, but also people around him began to wonder about it after seeing this jade pendant. The Queen Mother thought, could it be that her son was on her side? But this method was too easy to be discovered; Ye Zhenzhen thought, indeed Youji Wujiu was playing tricks on her, but it was too cunning to lay such a trap on her.
Only Lu Li still looked upright and upright.
Ji Wu Jiu tightened his grip on the jade pendant and said, "Someone must be pretending to pass on the imperial edict. Get up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Do you know that eunuch? Can you remember his appearance?"
"Back to the emperor, I don't know him, but I remember him."
"In this case, I must find out which slave is so bold as to dare to falsely convey my will."
The Queen Mother obviously couldn't accept this conclusion, but the matter was a foregone conclusion when Lu Li took out the jade pendant. Regardless of whether the imperial edict is true or false, he has a reason to appear here, and that is enough. Moreover, when he was searched just now, the eunuchs almost stripped him naked, and they didn't find anything important.
This man is simply too cunning.
"Since it was a misunderstanding, the Ai family can rest assured. The queen practices here every day, so it is better to be cautious and not to go crazy." The queen mother said calmly.
"I'm worried about you, mother. I have a good character, the natural spiritual platform is clear, and I have the blessing of Buddha, I think everything will be fine." Ye Zhenzhen also learned to curse implicitly.
So the Queen Mother came with high morale and left with her head down.
After the Empress Dowager left, Ji Wu Jiu stood there and looked back at Ye Zhen Zhen, "Why don't you leave quickly."
Ye Zhenzhen followed him, and when he walked past him, he wanted to hold her hand, but she shook her hands away. Ye Zhenzhen whispered two words, "Despicable." Her tone was full of disgust and contempt.
Ji Wu Jiu felt his chest suffocate inexplicably, and it felt tight. He realized that she seemed to have misunderstood him, and quickly caught up with her.
"I... really don't know about the jade pendant."
Ignore him.
"It should be the slaves of Qianqing Palace who stole it out to do evil."
Ignore him.
"How could I help other men have a private affair with my wife."
Still ignoring him.
Su Yue looked on very anxiously, the emperor is like this, can't you give him some face, my empress... Besides, that jade pendant was obviously not given by the emperor himself, okay?
How could Ye Zhenzhen not understand the strangeness of this. Although she didn't believe in Ji Wu Jiu's character, she believed in his intelligence. If he wanted to set a trap for her, he would definitely do it in a clever way and not leave such a big flaw as the Nine Dragon Pendant. Even so, she was still very angry. It was not him who set up the trap, but he still came here to catch her! And it seemed that he was looking forward to her having an affair with her cousin.
Lu Li stood at the door of Yinghua Hall, looking at the backs of the three people. Ji Wu Jiu wanted to hold Ye Zhen Zhen's hand, but she pulled away several times. He finally held her hand tightly and wouldn't let go, and the two of them disappeared awkwardly into the vast night.
Lu Li lowered his head and smiled. Except for himself, I'm afraid no one can guess why the Nine Dragon Pendant appeared here and now... He stole it.
Yes, steal. Lu Li is highly skilled in martial arts, especially in Qinggong. And he was very familiar with every corner of the palace. He wanted to steal something in the most heavily guarded place in the entire city. Although it wasn't as simple as searching a bag to retrieve something, it was still possible. Moreover, he chose the timing very well. He would wait until Ji Wu Jiu was approving the mistakes in the Yangxin Palace before taking action. At that time, the Qianqing Palace would have fewer manpower, and there would not be a master like Ji Wu Jiu sitting in charge, so it would be relatively easy.
Lu Li was an upright person and had never stolen anything before, but this time it was different. This time he had to steal it for Ye Zhenzhen. This kind of method of framing the queen with the rape/love affair between a man and a woman is one of two ways. It is better to stir up the muddy water first and let the emperor see clearly the plans of those villains and remove his doubts. Even if someone comes to complain to him again in the future, he will I won’t believe it easily.
Furthermore, he had actually noticed Ji Wujiu since he followed him tonight. Lu Li knew that the emperor was suspicious by nature, and if he behaved too neatly and clearly in front of Ye Zhenzhen, it would make Ji Wu Jiu suspect that he was on guard, so it was best to do it naturally. Moreover, Ji Wu Jiu knew that Lu Li was good at martial arts, so he didn't get too close, so he probably didn't hear their conversation clearly.
Fortunately, there was no danger this time, Zhenzhen, you should be more careful. Lu Li was walking alone in the winter night in the palace, thinking to himself.
The author has something to say: Thank you LycoSN for the grenade, okay~
This chapter was actually written last night, but I have been revising and revising it today, and I have just finished it now. I see that many children can’t wait, so I’ll put it up first.
Here I want to explain Ye Zhenzhen’s character.
I think some friends may have too high expectations for Zhen Zhen. She's not a reborn, time-travelling, golden-fingered girl, she's just a slightly smarter girl. Moreover, this girl grew up in a very good environment. She was born into a wealthy family, and her whole family pampered her. They were reluctant to impose too strict requirements on her. She was like a flower in the greenhouse. This makes her somewhat arrogant, acting as she pleases, and occasionally speaking without thinking. Take a look at the things she plays with. All of them are played by ladies, but she just likes them, so her family won't restrict her too much.
If this kind of person is thrown into the harem, the skills of palace fighting need to be trained, and it is impossible to kill everyone as soon as they come up. So she was actually quite passive in the palace and was framed everywhere. Fortunately, she was a little smart and had a little luck, so she was able to save herself from danger time and time again. Of course, it can't always be like this. Because people will grow, it is enough to slowly suffer a few losses, understand the sinister people in the harem, and gradually increase the skill value. I know that everyone likes to see the plot of Queen Liangliang running amok in the harem, but when writing these plots, the characters' personalities must also be taken into consideration. Queen Liangliang is not a tall and well-rounded heroine, she has many shortcomings. I have always believed that people with flaws are the complete human beings. Although you may not care about whether the characters have three-dimensional and full personalities, as an author I have always wanted to try and challenge this aspect, and I hope you understand.
Finally, thank you again for your support. I know you love and feel deeply responsible for the children's shoes that are given negative marks, cough. In short, I will work harder on coding, and I hope to have more double updates in the future^_^
[Speaking of which, do you think the author is annoying after talking so much? I think I’m too wordy OTL
ps: The eight o'clock update is here, so I won't update it at night. This is already the second update, okay^_^
