Traveling to the ancient harem

Chapter 352 Night Owl Enters the House

Autumn Dance Pavilion.

Not long after breakfast, when Shi Yaoyao was about to go to the Cining Palace, Caiqin came to the Qiuwu Pavilion.

"Our queen asked this servant to come over and ask her to come to Qingyue Palace to talk to you."

Caiqin bowed to Shi Yaoyao and said with a smile.

Shi Yaoyao's heart skipped a beat.

It was this Caiqin who came to tell me last time and asked me to reveal the news to the Queen Mother.

Since she has surrendered to Concubine Lin, of course she will do as she is told. Moreover, it is something that will prevent Concubine Ye from making a comeback.

Unfortunately, the plan failed. Concubine Ye is now living happily in her Ningyuxuan.

This made her extremely unwilling.

"Didn't your mother say anything was wrong?"

Shi Yaoyao asked while winking at the head palace maid Lian'er.

Lian'er took out a purse with a smile and put it into Caiqin's hand.

"Thank you for your hard work, sister. This is a small gift from us."

Caiqin was already accustomed to this kind of reward, and for the sake of her wallet, she said one more word.

"The queen is in a bad mood, so I should go over and give her some advice."

Shi Yaoyao understood that anyone would be in a bad mood if their plan failed.

In fact, Shi Yaoyao has been thinking about a question these two days.

The Emperor's partiality towards Concubine Ye is so obvious. Even if she joins forces with Concubine Lin, what are her chances of overthrowing Concubine Ye?

But... not doing anything and allowing Concubine Ye to become more powerful is the situation she least wants to see.

Qingyue Palace.

Concubine Shu was still resting. When she first entered the Ministry of Punishment, she was tortured.

Although she confessed quickly, she was still exhausted because she was used to a life of luxury.

Although she was not tortured again, what kind of place was the Ministry of Punishment? She was just barely able to survive.

So after becoming Aunt Yan in Qingyue Palace, she would rest whenever she had time.

She is old, and no one doubted her when she said she was not feeling well.

Caiqin brought Shi Yaoyao into Concubine Lin's bedroom. Concubine Shu was sleeping there, which made it convenient for her to talk to Shi Yaoyao.

"I invited Cairen here today because I have something I want to discuss with him."

Since Concubine Lin wanted to drag her into the water, of course she chose to tell the truth.

She told the story of how Concubine Shu killed Aunt Yan, then pretended to be Aunt Yan and threatened her.

Caiqin is watching at the door now. She will remind Concubine Shu when she comes over, so time is precious.

Shi Yaoyao's mind went blank for a moment, and she felt as if struck by lightning.

How dare Lin Jieyu? How dare she drag her into the quagmire of Nanzhao Kingdom?

She didn't want to know these things, she just wanted to survive in the harem.

If the Shu Concubine's incident were to be exposed one day, even if she had done nothing, she would be charged with knowing the truth and not reporting it.

He is worthy of being the one she likes. He has a really vicious heart.

Concubine Lin looked at Shi Yaoyao's pale and blue face with satisfaction.

That's right. There are some things that she can't bear alone.

More people mean more confidence.

It took Shi Yaoyao a long time to calm down.

"What are you going to do, sister?"

She asked calmly.

"Kill the person, and don't involve Qingyue Palace."

Concubine Lin lowered her voice.

"I know you have your own ideas. Please help me think of a solution. If the emperor knows about this..."

She didn't say anything else.

Shi Cairen was a smart man and knew what she meant.

Shi Yaoyao knew very well that Concubine Lin was threatening her.

"Sister, don't be too anxious to reveal the truth. Let that Concubine Shu see the clues. We need to think about this matter carefully."

Shi Yaoyao is also a very careful person.

"Then I won't keep you here, lest that person wakes up and sees you and becomes suspicious."

Concubine Lin picked up the tea bowl.

"If you can think of a solution, you can send someone over to tell me, and I'll let Caiqin go over."

"Sister, goodbye."

Shi Yaoyao couldn't wait to get up, and when she returned to Qiuwu Pavilion, she was shocked to realize that she had been sweating all over in Qingyue Palace.

She was blown by the cold wind on the road just now, and now she feels chilly all over.

"Lian'er, quickly bring some hot water. I want to take a hot bath."

Lian'er was a little scared when she saw Shi Yaoyao's absent-minded look, so she quickly agreed and ran out.

Shi Yaoyao didn't feel alive until she soaked in the bathtub.

She couldn't panic, she had to stay calm, as this matter seemed to be a dead end for her.

But there is a way out.

How could she be willing to accept Lin Jieyu dragging her into this with bad intentions?

She had to find a way.

That Concubine Shu must die, and Concubine Ye must also die. Concubine Lin is still useful, so let her go for now...

"My lady, you have been bathing for a long time. The water is almost cold."

Lian'er interrupted Shi Yaoyao's thoughts.

"Ah."

Shi Yaoyao stood up and asked Lian'er to wipe her body clean.

Just now, Concubine Lin said something that gave her an idea.

She said that Concubine Shu wanted to meet Hongyue from Ningyuxuan, and wanted to disguise herself as Hongyue and lie in wait in Ningyuxuan waiting for an opportunity to strike.

A plan vaguely emerged in Shi Yaoyao's mind.

Concubine Lin is right. The most important thing now is to eliminate the hidden danger of Concubine Shu. Otherwise, if the matter is exposed, no one will survive.

Ningyuxuan.

Ningyuxuan welcomed an uninvited guest today.

It’s not wrong to say that he was an uninvited guest.

Because the person who came to visit in the wind and snow was Concubine Lin, and she only brought Aunt Yan with her to Ningyuxuan this time.

When Huang Ye heard the report from the eunuch guarding the gate, he suddenly thought of a proverb.

Night owls come into the house and come for everything.

Seeing Huang Ye coming out, Concubine Lin narrowed her eyes and smiled.

"Is it okay for my sister to come here uninvited?"

Huang Ye thought that Concubine Lin was really interesting.

Whenever the two met before, she always called herself Ye Jieyu, and it was obvious that she was resentful that she was half a rank higher than her.

She was so humble today, it was obvious that she was going to cause trouble.

"Sister, please come inside. It's cold outside. Don't get sick from the cold."

Huang Ye welcomed her into the living room, then sat down to drink tea and warm himself by the fire.

Hongdou removed the fruits and snacks on the table and brought some more.

Lin Jieyu was very interested in those small cookies and marshmallows.

"I've only heard that Ningyuxuan Kitchen's food is excellent, and it seems that it really lives up to its reputation."

"If you like it, eat more, sister. And this tea is also the specialty of our Ningyuxuan. You can't drink it anywhere else."

Huang Ye pushed the tea that Hongdou poured for Concubine Lin in front of her and said with a smile.

Concubine Lin picked it up and took a sip. She immediately liked the taste.

"No wonder people say that once you come to my sister's Ning Yuxuan, you don't want to leave. It's really true. These foods are not something that those people in the imperial kitchen can make."

She kept praising it while eating.
