Previously, Qing Qing had said that she had personally witnessed the death of the wangfei due to a bad person. Now, Qing Qing had recognized her embroidery. This definitely wasn't a coincidence.
Could it be that Qing Qing was once a child of the Wei Mansion?
She was someone that Yuwen He had arranged for, and was most likely not far from it.
Earlier, she had always wanted to ask Yuwen He, but she had never found the opportunity to.
From the looks of it, she should find a chance to ask Yuwen He clearly.
"Qingqing, what do you mean by 'wangfei'? Is it the princess of the Wei Royal Mansion? I think she's pretty good at embroidery. " Qingqing didn't say anything. Then, she asked again.
"She's a bad person." Qing Qing said coldly. She was very angry when she mentioned the wangfei from the Wei Mansion.
Green Yi still wanted to ask further, but Xiao Ruyue stretched lazily again, and said: "If Qing Qing doesn't want to say anything, then you don't need to ask. The tiny bit of effort the Wei Wangfei had put in was just like learning how to walk, which was why he was trying his best. Outside of the mountains, there were mountains with people outside of them. She wasn't able to get on the stage yet. I am tired, come and massage my shoulders. "
"That's true. Your embroidery, esteemed Empress, has more spiritual energy than that of Wei Wangfei's."
Xiao Ruyue smiled. After embroidering for two hours, she was indeed tired.
She took a sip of her tea, switched it to a soft slouch, and lazily lay down.
Lu Yi then pinched her hands together. As she did so, she did not forget to kiss ass, praising the half-finished product on the embroidery rack to the point that there was nothing left in the sky or on the ground.
Xiao Ruyue replied indifferently, and closed her eyes to enjoy her massage.
Lu Yi's flattery grew.
A quiet room.
In the silence, Yin Lin came to the door, "Empress, he is here."
"Please come in." Xiao Ruyue responded as she sat up.
The green robes fell apart, and Yin Lin led a lady dressed in ordinary palace maid attire in.
She followed Yin Lin in. Yin Lin bowed to her, then stood to the side.
She knelt in front of Xiao Ruyue with her head lowered and said, "Your servant pays my respects to the Empress.
Xiao Ruyue lifted her teacup, and carelessly asked, "Is the one kneeling below Miss Cai Wei from the Wei Wang Manor?"
"That's me."
"The Wei Wangfei's gold medallion has been kept by me. The people of Wei Wang Manor have not been summoned, so they are not allowed to enter the palace. How did you enter?" Xiao Ruyue's tone was as calm as ever, without any ripples, and no anger could be heard.
Cai Wei paused, "Empress, this servant has his ways."
"Oh, what method?"
"Forgive this servant for not being able to explain."
Xiao Ruyue replied "Oh" and did not say another word.
Lu Yi looked at Yin Lin, who shook his head at her, but she remained silent.
Cai Wei knelt like that.
The atmosphere once again fell into silence.
The only sound that could be heard was of the teacup in Xiao Ruyue's hand colliding with the teacup.
After a long while, Cai Wei finally raised her head, "I heard from Miss Yin Lin that the Empress has summoned a servant.
"Hmm?" Xiao Ruyue's hand paused for a moment, before she simply put down the teacup in her hand, "Last time marble temple said that's Madam Liu Yuan's wife was in trouble, her maid, Miss Cai Wei, saved her life. Before she left, she pleaded in front of me, if there is a chance that I can meet Miss Cai Wei, I must thank Miss Cai Wei for saving my life on her behalf."
"Your servant doesn't quite understand the empress's words." Cai Wei looked at Xiao Ruyue, her expression unchanging, completely calm.
But there was a flash of hesitation in his eyes.
This hesitation did not escape Xiao Ruyue's eyes. She looked at Cai Wei's reaction and said indifferently, "Peach Blossom also said that if not for Miss Cai Wei's magnanimity, her master might not have been able to walk out of the Beijing Zhaoyin's prison alive."
Upon hearing this, Cai Wei's back stiffened, but she still straightened her back and said, "This servant still can't understand the Empress's words. Please enlighten me, Empress."
Xiao Ruyue's mouth revealed a profound smile, and said, "Go and take a look at the embroidery rack over there."
Cai Wei looked at the embroidery rack by the window and hesitated for a moment. Then, she stood up and walked over.
"This is the Chun Qing Diagram that the wangfei is most proud of!" Just as he caught a glimpse of the flowers and leaves on the embroidery stand, Cai Wei cried out in shock.
Yin Lin followed behind her and looked left and right, but only saw a few flowers and two leaves. She could not help but look at Cai Wei in surprise. How did she see through the unfinished embroidery?
Cai Wei stared at the flowers and leaves on the embroidery stand for a long time. She even reached out her hand carefully to feel them, and the more she looked, the more surprised she became.
After a long while, she turned back and looked at the lazy Xiao Ruyue. "The embroidery on this embroidery stand was made by the Empress?" There was a hint of eagerness in her words.
"Yes."
"The wangfei once said that she only taught one person in this' Spring Breeze Painting ', and never said where it started. "That's why even the person she taught doesn't know where to start with and where to place the needle in the [Spring and Clear Diagram]," Cai Wei said as if she was talking to herself. "How did the empress find out?"
Xiao Ruyue's gaze fell on Cai Wei's body. The vermilion lip opened its mouth and only said four words: "Coincidence."
Cai Wei's position had already been decided in her heart.
When she first met Cai Wei, she felt that she looked familiar, but she could not remember where she had seen him before. It was only after seeing so many times and seeing so many things that she finally remembered the whole story.
Ten years ago, when she was pregnant, she happened to walk on the streets and saw a young beggar who was dressed in rags being bullied by other beggars.
The child at that time was only twelve or thirteen years old. He was very stubborn and refused to let anyone touch him. He was stubborn and eccentric and dressed as a boy, so she thought he was a boy. Until just now, when she saw Cai Wei's stubborn expression, her two faces instantly overlapped.
That year, she had once embroidered the < Spring and Clear Diagram > in her pregnancy. It was precisely when that child had entered the estate. The stubborn child was at her side when she picked up the needle, and she told the child the story of "The Spring Map." including the matter of her teaching Yao Ziyan the [Spring Art].
If that was the case, then everything was a coincidence.
The heavens were helping her.
As soon as he said the three words "lucky chance", Cai Wei felt as if he had been struck by lightning, feeling both surprised and happy, "Does the empress know an old friend of my family's King?" She swallowed the word 'wangfei' that was on the tip of her tongue.
Xiao Ruyue laughed, "I guess so. You and I might have the same goal. "
Cai Wei's expression immediately changed, her eyes full of joy.
Back in the day, the Crown Princess was clearly well and well. When she said that it was difficult for her to give birth, it meant that it would be difficult for her to give birth. But now, they didn't even see the last part of her.
The old people of the palace were chased out one after another. She was also one of them, but because she had always been dressed as a boy and her time in the palace was short, she was able to return to selling her daughter's life and become a slave in the palace. No one doubted her, thus she was able to stay there for so many years.
If esteemed empress was so clear on a secret like the Spring Breeze Painting, then she must be very close to the wangfei.
Xiao Ruyue looked at the light in Cai Wei's eyes and then looked at Qingqing. Unknowingly, Qingqing's expression had also fluctuated.
She lowered her eyes and thought for a moment before instructing, "Yin Lin, all of you leave first."
Yin Lin and Lu Yi looked at each other, full of doubts, before retreating.
Only Xiao Ruyue, Cai Wei and Qing Qing were left in the room.
"Qing Qing must have stayed in the Wei Wang Manor before," Xiao Ruyue went straight to the point, and no longer hid her intentions, "I think you should be Mother He's granddaughter."
Qingqing stared at her in shock. "How did the empress know?!"
Xiao Ruyue did not answer, but turned to Cai Wei and said, "You must be the child that the Royal Concubine picked up from the pile of beggars. If the Royal Concubine was alive, I'm afraid she wouldn't have thought that you would actually be a woman, and that you would be so pretty."
Cai Wei's face was also filled with shock. Having the bottom of < Spring and Clear Spring Diagram > wouldn't be able to lessen her astonishment in the slightest.
"The two of you are both old members of the Duke Palaces, so I will not talk about anything else. What Yao Ziyan and Yuwen Chenglian have done, the heavens are watching them.
Xiao Ruyue said sincerely and sincerely.
Revenge was her own affair, and she couldn't drag everyone into it.
However, she was also clear that 90% of her persuasion was useless.
Cai Wei, however, vowed sincerely, "The princess has treated me with great kindness. If I am unable to avenge her, I will never be at peace in my death!"
"I saw the wangfei being killed with my own eyes, I don't want to pretend I couldn't see it." Qing Qing's face was also filled with determination.
Forget it.
There are some things that you can't dissuade just because you want to.
Xiao Ruyue felt that no matter how much she tried, her persuasion would be useless, so she called both Yin Lin and Lu Yi in.
Cai Wei could no longer hide anything from Xiao Ruyue. She recounted all of the wicked deeds that Yuwen Chenglian and Yuwen Chenglian had done in the past few years, recording everything down one by one. After arranging everything, she would pass it to Yuwen He.
All these years, Yao Ziyan had brought Cai Wei with him and intentionally or unintentionally revealed too many secrets. Since Cai Wei wanted to pay attention, she would naturally be able to hear quite a few secrets.
The more Cai Wei spoke, the more agitated she became. Many people who could not understand what was going on had obtained clues from Cai Wei and found the breakthrough point.
Qing Qing also began to reminisce about what had happened all those years ago.
"That night, I ran mischievously out of my room. It's said that when Princess Hua-Yang gave birth to her baby, I wanted to go see her baby. But in the end, I saw outside the window that bad woman Yao Ziyan strangled the child that Princess Hua-Yang gave birth to, and that bad woman and the bad prince still wanted to kill Princess Hua-Yang! "
"I was scared and wanted to scream, but my grandmother covered my mouth tightly. Grandmother dragged me back to my room, hurriedly collecting some relatively precious items. She carried me on her back and escaped from the prince's mansion. "Grandma said that no one is allowed to talk about this matter to their deaths. If they do, there will be a fatal disaster."
"Not long after I returned to my old country home, my grandmother fell ill and, in a daze, took me by the hand to make me promise that I would never say a word to anyone. "I was afraid that my grandmother would be hurt, so I agreed. When dawn arrived, I was woken up by the sound of crying. My parents told me that my grandmother passed away after midnight."
