Chapter 592: Palace Fights Are All Scheming
Chapter 592: Palace Fights Are All Scheming
As for this Lily of the Valley, although she hasn't done anything yet, she is a hidden danger. After all, she is the spy placed here by Concubine Yu, and they are also sisters of the same family. They share the same fate. She is unlikely to betray you, and she doesn't seem to have any ability. It is a waste to place a loyalty talisman on her.
So Xiao Yun gave her a direct mental hint, asking her to find a way to leave her Liuyun Palace on her own.
Yes, the name of her palace is Liuyun Palace. It sounds okay, but the name is not very auspicious.
When the palace was allocated, it was Qiao Wan who arranged it. She meant that the name of this palace contained the name of her original body, so it was just right for her to live here.
I don’t know what the late emperor was thinking when he named the palace, but he chose such a name. Of course, the names of other palaces are not all nice to hear. For example, Qiufeng Palace where Concubine Yu lives sounds like autumn wind sweeping fallen leaves.
It is also possible that the author is using metaphors to describe their fates: one is like a cloud that scatters in the wind, and the other is like the autumn wind that is cold and frustrated.
Xiao Yun snapped his fingers at Linglan to wake her up, then said calmly, "Take away the incense. I don't like the smell. Don't light it anymore."
Linglan thought she had just come in and had no memory of what had happened before. She saluted without a doubt and then retreated with the incense burner.
Afterwards, Xiao Yun called Jiang Lin in again. Looking at the young eunuch who came in with him, he thought about it and gave him a loyalty talisman.
This young eunuch seems to be Jiang Lin's godson. He's quite capable, so let's keep him for now.
This loyalty talisman is of high level, so they themselves cannot even feel it. They will only subconsciously feel that they have to be loyal to her, and can fight for her and die for her without betraying her. Other aspects remain the same.
Although there are no cultivators in this world, there is a faint spiritual energy, as if there would be some spiritual energy in ancient planes. It should be that it has not been over-logged or industrially polluted.
She said directly to Jiang Lin and the others, "Go and find out who has handled the incense in my palace. Investigate secretly and try not to be discovered."
The two of them nodded in agreement.
Xiao Yun thought for a moment and then asked, "What was the name of the palace maid who was serving food next to me?"
Although the other person might leave in a few days, he is still here these two days. It seems a bit strange that I don’t even know his name.
Jiang Lin recalled for a moment and said, "Her name is Yue Gui. Does your Majesty think there is something wrong with her?"
Xiao Yun shook his head, "Not really, I just haven't noticed the names of some of the palace maids."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Lin immediately reported their names, along with their ages and responsibilities.
Xiao Yun nodded. She took note of the information, but she had to meet the real person to verify some of the numbers.
"Keep an eye on those people and report anything unusual to me."
Jiang Lin: "Yes."
Li Hong: “Yes.”
After waving his hand to let the two go down, Xiao Yun walked into the bathroom next door according to his original body's memory.
Everyone wants to be in a high position, and this treatment is good.
While we were eating over there, the hot water was already boiled here, so we could wash up right after dinner.
Yuanshen also didn't like being served while washing, so those people just prepared the hot water and left, which saved her a lot of trouble.
It's really embarrassing to have someone standing next to you while taking a shower.
The temperature here is much higher than that in the bedroom. Looking at the burning charcoal fire next to him, Xiao Yun curled his lips in satisfaction.
The timing of my arrival was pretty good, at least no one started to neglect me, otherwise I would have to go into the space to take a shower.
I just washed my body casually, but didn't wash my hair. It's not easy to dry at night, so I went back to the space to wash and blow dry it.
Just go to bed as soon as you come out. Someone will naturally take the water out and pour it out later without you having to tell them.
She just lay down on the bed, and then sat up again. The bed was a bit hard and only had a mattress. She lowered the bed curtain, lifted the mattress, waved her hand to get out a silicone mat and put it on the bed, and then put the mattress on it.
She tried lying on it and felt that it was much more comfortable. She didn't come here to suffer.
In fact, she didn't need to ask Jiang Lin to investigate the source of the incense. There were only a few suspicious people, either Emperor Yongkang and Qiao Wan or the Queen Mother. She just wanted to see what Jiang Lin's ability was. If he was not capable, she would have to train someone new.
As for the other palace maids, when Linglan asked her to take the incense out, her spiritual consciousness followed her out. The palace maids that Linglan met on the way did not look unusual when they saw the incense burner.
Either they were unaware, or these people were hiding it deep enough. It didn't matter. If it didn't work, she could just hypnotize them one by one. She wasn't worried at all.
……
She was still half asleep when someone called her. Xiao Yun opened her eyes and frowned at Yue Gui who called her. She looked at the window through the bed curtain that she had lifted. It was just getting light outside.
Thinking about how his original self had to get up so early every day to pay his respects to Qiao Wan and the Queen Mother, Xiao Yun felt annoyed. He decided to kill those two as soon as possible.
While Yuegui was dressing herself, Xiao Yun took the opportunity to put her to sleep.
Unexpectedly, the result of the inquiry was beyond her expectations. This person turned out to have the cleanest background in the palace. He had no master behind him and was really sent here randomly by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Because this person was transferred away by Qiao Wan, the original body always thought that she was Qiao Wan's person.
After all, she had served the original body personally before, and after the original body died, she knew that her bad temper might have been caused by drugging, so the first person she thought of was her, but she was wrong.
As expected, we cannot rely entirely on the original body's memory. A lot of it is subjective conjecture, and sometimes what you see is not necessarily true. It may be what the enemy wants you to see.
I put a loyalty talisman on Yuegui, and then asked her to call the other palace maids in and hypnotize them one by one. As for whether it would be late to pay respects, I didn't care.
Then I discovered that the masters behind these people were all different.
As for Jiang Lin's godson, the master behind him was actually the second prince. The other two eunuchs were one of the fourth prince's men and the other of Emperor Yongkang's men.
Among the six palace maids, except for Yuegui and Linglan, the other four belonged to Qiao Wan and Concubine Liu. She was arranged to be the concubine of Emperor Yongkang after Qiao Wan became pregnant, and was originally Qiao Wan's dowry maid.
There is another one who belongs to the empress dowager, and the last one left doesn't have a master behind her. However, she is just a night incense seller, and she probably wouldn't be in such a miserable situation if she had a master.
However, this made Xiao Yun have a question. It was bad enough that Emperor Yongkang and the women in the harem had spies in her palace, but they also had spies in the three princes. What did that mean?
Or did the three princes have spies in all the concubines in the harem? What did they want?
