Leng Qiyue quickly got up to push Han Liu awake and waited for the empress dowager to enter.
As soon as the empress dowager sat down in her chair, she threw herself on her knees in tears. "Esteemed Empress Dowager, please make justice for Littlemoon …" Yue'er almost lost her life to see you. There's only the empress dowager who treats Yue'er well in this palace. You have to find the killer, ah … "Sob, sob, sob …"
When the empress dowager saw Leng Qiyue's reaction, she was startled before rolling her eyes and reaching out her hand to stroke her hair. She said lovingly, "Yue'er, be good. Don't cry. This humble one is here to tell you that the murderer has found her."
Leng Qiyue was stunned. Found it? I think they found a scapegoat?
The empress dowager shouted, "Someone, bring that slut up here."
Two eunuchs walked in with a woman in tow. When Leng Qiyue saw the woman in custody, she was even more surprised. She was actually Yu Fei.
The empress dowager laughed coldly and said, "This slut really has the guts to bribe someone from the camp to assassinate you."
In her heart, Leng Qiyue cried out for injustice for Dong Fangyu, but she still asked, "Yufei, your concubine hasn't done anything to let you down. Why did you want to harm me?"
Yu Fei's face was pale. She glanced at Leng Qiyue and smiled faintly, "Everyone in the imperial harem wants to harm you, except for me. My sin is only to abuse the little prince, because when I see him, I will think of my dead child. " After saying this, she no longer said anything.
Leng Qiyue said to the empress dowager in a spoiled manner, "Esteemed Empress Dowager, you have to give Yue'er justice."
The empress dowager nodded. "Good child, This Dowager will definitely give you justice. You should take care of your wounds first. This Dowager will return first."
"Respectfully sending off Esteemed Empress Dowager." The empress dowager was very satisfied with Leng Qiyue's obedient and courteous appearance.
Before Dongfang Yu left, he glanced at Leng Qiyue, but unexpectedly saw sympathy in her eyes. That's right, sympathy. She smiled wryly. The person she hated the most was actually someone who pitied her.
When the empress dowager left, Han Liu helped Leng Qiyue up and stole a few glances at Xue Ling.
Leng Qiyue said, "Han Liu, he's called Xue Ling. He's an immortal fox. Don't be afraid, he's a vegetarian."
Han Liu felt that Leng Qiyue's words sounded strange, but she still decided to hypnotize herself. 'Xue Ling isn't scary …' The snow spirits aren't scary …
Seeing Han Liu like this, Leng Qiyue didn't know whether she should tell her about Big Yellow and Xiao Jin, but she thought better of it.
When the Empress Dowager returned to the Palace, the woman who resembled her was already waiting. When the empress dowager saw her, she waved her hand. "All of you go down and take care of Yufei."
Servants and eunuchs were ordered not to stay.
When the girl saw that everyone had left and the door was closed, she stepped forward and held the empress dowager's hand. "Aunt, how is that woman?"
The empress dowager patted the girl's hand. "Sisi, that woman doesn't suspect This Dowager at all. This Dowager will keep her first, so she'll be useful later on."
So this girl was Jin Zhu's daughter, Lu Sisi.
Lu Sisi frowned and said, "Aunt …"
The empress dowager suddenly shouted, "Stop talking. You're This Dowager's only relative. This Dowager will definitely make you Empress."
Lu Sisi stuck out her tongue. She originally wanted to ask about her own mother, but seeing that the empress dowager was displeased, she didn't dare ask further. She obediently said, "Then I won't disturb your rest any longer."
"Mm, go ahead." The empress dowager waved her hand. Ever since she knew that Lu Sisi was her daughter, she had started to come up with a plan to make Dongfang Haotian favor her.
Lu Sisi was not a simple girl. When her young master had died of illness at the age of eight, she had tried her best to curry favor with Lady Lu. In the end, she had been accepted by Lady Lu as her adopted daughter and had lived the life of a young lady. When she was sixteen, she fell in love with her cousin, but her cousin married the daughter of his immediate superior to her and made her a son-in-law. However, when her cousin was abandoned by his wife and was asked to marry her, she gave a cold laugh and said, "Back then you didn't even look at me and insisted on marrying that woman to be someone's slave. Now that they don't want you anymore, you came to ask for my hand in marriage. Who am I, Lu Sisi,?
Only then did the man clearly see the true face of Lu Sisi. He was filled with regret, regret, and illness. Finally, he died in depression.
From then on, Ruth thought about how to be a high official, and yearned for a life in high places. Originally, she already had a fiancé to serve as the county magistrate, but after learning about the palace selection, she resolutely abandoned her fiancé and entered the palace to participate.
However, she didn't expect to find out that the empress dowager looked so much like her, so she took out the jade pendant she'd worn since she was young and tested it. As expected, the empress dowager hugged her and cried, saying that she was a long-lost niece.
This turn of events was something Rusty hadn't expected. What was there to be afraid of now that she had the empress dowager backing her? Besides, the empress dowager had already personally promised her that she would be the empress, so she didn't place any importance on the imperial concubines.
Her Majesty raised her voice and shouted, "Someone come."
The eunuch, Xiang Rui, walked in quickly. "What orders does the empress dowager have?"
"Bring Yu Fei over."
"Yes." Not long after Xiang Xi left, he brought Dongfang Yu over.
The empress dowager signaled Xiang Rui to close the door. After the door closed, she said, "Yufei, This Dowager knows that you are wrongly accused, but who else can This Dowager take if not you? "Blame it on your father's premature return to the village. However, don't worry, after you die, This Dowager will give you a glorious burial."
Dong Fang Yu's gaze was calm and impassive as she resigned to her fate. She kowtowed and said, "Many thanks to Esteemed Empress Dowager."
Seeing that she didn't resist, the empress dowager smiled. "Very good. This one likes smart women, but your backer isn't strong enough. Go down, I'll give you three days to get together with your family. After three days, you'll know what to do."
Dong Fang Yu kowtowed again. "Many thanks, empress dowager."
Dongfang Yu was escorted by two eunuchs back to her own palace. She knew clearly in her heart that the empress dowager wouldn't let her see her family. If she did, the empress dowager would definitely exterminate them along with her family. Because of this secret, the fewer people who knew, the better.
However, Dongfang Yu was unwilling to accept this. He was truly unwilling to die just like that. Thus, she asked someone to tell Leng Qiyue that she wanted to see her.
When Leng Qiyue received the message, she was very surprised. She asked Han Liu, "What did you say she wanted to see me for?"
Han Liu shook her head. "This servant doesn't know, but once Empress sees it, she'll know."
"Oh, you mean I should go see her?"
Han Liu nodded. "There's no harm in meeting the Empress Dowager. When we get there, you can beat her up and scold her. The empress dowager won't say anything."
"Well, I'll see her." Leng Qiyue stood up, and Han Liu helped her tidy up her clothes before the two of them walked towards the jade gargling palace.
Dongfang Yu was dressed very formally today. He was wearing a blue smock, a blue flowery green grass skirt, and a light blue thin veil of green water. A gold hairpin was stuck into his hair, adorned with purple jade, and its tassels sprinkled on his black hair.
When Dongfang Yu saw Leng Qiyue, he dismissed the palace maid and said to her, "Do you believe that I was wrongly accused?"
Leng Qiyue nodded. "I believe you."
Dongfang Yu smiled, and her smile was very bleak. "I didn't expect you to believe me. Back then, I had the emperor bring you to the palace for a purpose as well." Rong Fei and Die Fei are suppressing me at every turn, making it impossible for my son to be born. Thus, I wanted to bring you to the palace to fight against them. Your medical skills are good and you can poison them, so they are definitely not your match.
It's a pity that your fate isn't good, but something happened to you when you were bestowing the title of Consort. I have abused the little prince, but I have never wanted to harm his life. Do you believe me? "
Leng Qiyue looked at her face and firmly spat out two words, "I believe you."
"Haha …" Yu Fei laughed for a long time before stopping. She took out a jade pendant from her bosom and placed it in Leng Qiyue's hand. "This is the token of my family. Take it to my father and tell him about my matter."
When Leng Qiyue saw that the jade pendant in her hand was oval in shape and had a tiger carved on it, she knew that it was not a simple object and hesitated.
Dongfang Yu saw her hesitation and smiled, "You will get the benefit. The benefit is my father's loyalty. Even though he had returned home, he still had a quarter of the Tiger Tally in his possession. Wouldn't it be a great benefit if you used this piece of information to exchange for a Tiger Tally? "
Leng Qiyue raised her head to look at Dongfang Yu. "How did you know that your father would give me the Tiger Tally? And why did you give it to me?"
