[Red House] The Twins of Purple Pearls

After the Chongyang pilgrimage, the queen asked Yanyu to stay and talk.

"I heard from Mrs. Baolinghou that Yu'er gave birth to a girl?" Yu Mingwen asked gently, and Yanyu quickly responded: "Go back to your mother, that's right. My sister has a daughter named Yi Nian."

Yu Ming seemed to be pondering over his sister's name before he nodded with a smile: "Happy and happy, happy and healthy, it's a good name."

Yanyu thanked her with a smile: "The minister's wife thanked the lady on behalf of sister Yi."

Yu Ming might have the intention of sighing, and just sighed: "Now Yu'er is already a mother. When you sisters got married, I never saw you with red makeup, and I didn't even see Yu'er's daughter. You are the best at drawing, if you have time to spare, draw a picture for Yu'er and Sister Yi, and bring it into the palace for me to see."

Hearing that Yu Mingruo felt sentimental, Yanyu responded naturally: "Your Majesty ordered me to come down, and my wife should do her best to draw."

Yu Ming's gaze was still fixed on Yan Yu's face, as if he was trying his best to retain some light and shadow.

"Niang Niang!" Seeing Yu Ming's expression, Yan Yu had some suspicions, and seeing that Yu Ming obviously didn't want to talk about it, she was about to start talking.

But I saw the female officer next to the queen come in and said: "Your Majesty, the imperial concubine and Chen concubine are asking to see you."

Yu Ming looked innocent, but said to Yanyu indifferently: "Zheng'er is playing in the side hall, help me go and have a look." It was to let Yanyu avoid, Yanyu couldn't ask for it, so she hurriedly retreated, when she heard Yu Ming Let the female officials invite the noble concubine and Chen Fei to come in; except for the noble concubine Yuanchun, Chen Fei is from a wealthy family in the south of the Yangtze River, and like Yuan Chun, she was selected as a beauty after entering the palace and becoming a female official.

Yanyu followed the female officer to the side hall, where the eldest son of Prince Nan'an's mansion and the little princess of Prince Zhongshun's mansion were playing with the eldest prince in the side hall, and the wet nurse followed the masters and took care of them.

The eldest son of the Nan'an Palace is three years old, and Princess Lin of the Zhongshun Palace is two years old. The children are considered to be similar in age.

The eldest prince had just learned how to walk, and Shizi Nan'an and Princess Lin were sitting on the embroidered felt curiously playing with the cloth tiger, or teasing the eldest prince with the cloth tiger, the eldest prince giggled happily.

When Yanyu came in, she saw several children playing.

Yanyu also knew that Yu Ming's asking her to come and see the eldest prince was just an excuse, so she didn't go in, she just stood outside the curtain and watched them from afar.

The nurse saw Yanyu coming in and was about to salute, Yanyu signaled that she didn't need to salute, and said in a low voice: "The Empress asked me to come and see the First Prince."

"Princess, don't worry, the eldest prince is playing with Nan'an Shizi and Princess Lin." The wet nurse replied with a smile.

I saw a few children playing there, and there would be no fights because they were still young.

Suddenly, there was the sound of a baby crying, the eldest prince was crying loudly, and Prince Nan'an and Princess Lin were also sitting beside him in a daze.

The wet nurse hurried over to have a look, Yanyu also followed.

"Stop!" Yan Yu suddenly sternly stopped the nanny, feeling extremely uneasy in her heart, just now she clearly heard Princess Lin's murmur in an incomprehensible voice.

The nurse was swallowed by Yanyu, her expression was terrified and she didn't dare to move, she just bowed her head and waited by the side.

Yanyu opened the curtain and stepped forward, Prince Nan'an and Princess Lin were obviously frightened and sat beside him blankly, she came over to carefully hug the eldest prince, and she saw that the eldest prince was holding a doll in his hand; just now the eldest prince should It was because of being pricked by a needle on the puppet that he started to cry.

Witchcraft?Yanyu is more and more sure of the conspiracy.

Hastily hid the puppet in her sleeve, Yanyu didn't even have time to appease the eldest prince, countless doubts flashed in her heart, she turned her back and raised her voice to call the female officer who brought her over just now, and said coldly: "You are here Watch! Don't let anyone in or out. I'll go see the empress right away."

The female officer is the queen's confidant, seeing Yanyu's sudden stern words, although she didn't know what happened, she guessed it must be something important, so she quickly responded: "Princess, don't worry."

Caressing the puppet hidden in her sleeve, Yanyu took a deep breath before quickly walking towards the main hall.

Seeing Concubine Gui and Concubine Chen coming out of the main hall from behind the corridor, Yanyu felt lucky; if they were still in front of the queen, she didn't know what to say.

"I hope the female officer will report. I have something important to report to the empress." Yanyu said to the female official waiting in the corridor. The female official did not dare to neglect to lead Yanyu into the palace. Your Majesty has told me, please turn your back to the left and right."

Yu Ming had just finished dealing with Concubine Concubine and Concubine Chen, and was already exhausted in the early stages of pregnancy. Hearing what Yan Yu said, he had to pull himself together, and asked the servants on the left and right to step back, before he asked in confusion, "What's the matter?"

Yan Yu hurriedly took out the puppet and presented it in front of Yu Ming: "Your Majesty, please have a look!"

Seeing the puppet clearly, Yu Ming turned pale with shock: "This, what is this? Where did it come from?"

Yanyu reported to Yu Ming that she had found a puppet in the side hall, and said: "Because the son of Nan'an and Princess Lin's wet nurse were in the side hall at that time, my wife didn't know that they saw it. What, I asked Lady Xia to watch the side hall so as not to disturb others, and then came to report this matter to the empress. This matter is of great importance, and my wife is really terrified when she thinks about it."

Since ancient times, there has been a bloody storm involving witchcraft, and many innocent people have lost their lives because of it.

"This is Your Majesty's birthday!" Yu Ming took the puppet with a pale face, but let go of his hand suddenly as if touching something hot, and the puppet suddenly fell to the ground.

"Your Majesty!" Yan Yu didn't care about the courtesies of the emperor and ministers, she grabbed Yu Ming's hand and said, "Your Majesty, don't panic! You must make a decision at this time, otherwise you may be disturbed by it. Who the hell made this The puppet hid in the palace of the empress? Now that person is plotting to find out, if the news is leaked, they will follow the plan, and the empress must make a decision early."

She picked up the puppet and forced Yu Ming to face all the things that came up.

Yu Mingcai nodded with great determination: "Since this is the case...instead of destroying the evidence, it seems that we are guilty of thieves. It is better to put it to death and live again, and completely pull out this evil intention."

Thinking about it carefully, this method is dangerous and dangerous, but it is also the only way to find out the person behind the scenes. It is impossible to be controlled by others and wait to die knowing that they have been plotted by others.

But Yanyu's only worry comes from the emperor, will the emperor really trust his queen?Speaking of it, this is a gamble, if there is a slight mistake, the fortune will be lost; Yanyu only heard from Mu Yun that the emperor had an accident when he was young, and his temper was very cold, such a person is the most unpredictable.

Since Yu Ming made such a decision, Yanyu could only say: "Your Majesty makes a clear decision. If there is a need for a minister's wife, the minister's wife should be so heartbroken that she will die for the empress."

"No! Yan'er, I am very grateful to you! If you hadn't discovered this puppet and came to tell me, I'm afraid I would have really neglected it." Yu Ming's pale face showed determination, and he had already made up his mind.

Yan Yu originally wanted to leave the palace before the palace ban, but because of the death of the puppet, she was involved in the secrets of the palace, so she couldn't stay behind to cooperate with Yu Ming after finishing the scene.

Yu Ming told the emperor about the puppet, and the emperor ordered a thorough investigation of the harem, even the queen mother was alarmed to come out for interrogation.

The emperor ordered Yousi to investigate thoroughly, who practiced witchcraft in the palace, cursed the emperor, and hid the puppet in the queen's palace in an attempt to blame the queen.

As for the follow-up of the witchcraft incident, Yan Yu didn't know.

Yanyu left the palace the next day, and she never heard any rumors about the witchcraft, as if the witchcraft never happened.

If there had been a bloody storm, it would be better than the tranquility hidden in perilous dangers. In such a situation, no one knows when another storm will usher in.

Seeing that Yanyu hadn't returned from the palace overnight, Guanshi Zhuang was very worried, fearing that something might happen in the palace.

Brother Heng came to say hello early in the morning, but he also seemed hesitant to speak.

"The palace is safe, you don't have to worry, study hard with your husband in the mansion." Yan Yu only said to Brother Heng, and Brother Heng obediently bowed his hands: "Nephew understands."

Turning around, Yanyu told Manager Zhuang: "During this period of time, you must be cautious in your words and deeds outside. You should keep an eye on the things outside, and report immediately if there is anything unusual."

Manager Zhuang responded, and hurriedly went to the outer courtyard to make arrangements.

Now that the queen and the noble concubine are married at the same time, the situation in the palace is not clear, and Yanyu can't figure out who is behind the scenes.

But the movement in the palace could not be concealed from Prince Zhongshun and Prince Nan'an. Later, after Prince Nan'an and Princess Lin left the palace, the two houses also heard some news; before the news from the palace came, Princess Nan'an heard about Yanyu He stayed in the palace for one night, guessing that she might know something, so he came to inquire about the news.

Yanyu knew the intention of Princess Nan'an's visit, but there was no news from the palace, and she would not talk nonsense, she only chatted with Princess Nan'an.

Princess Nan'an had the intention of swearing not to give up until she reached her goal, so she still talked to Yan Yudao: "I heard that the princess is in the palace with the queen empress? But what happened to the empress empress? It was the Double Ninth Festival at that time. Do take care."

"Your Majesty is safe and sound, don't worry." Yan Yu only said.

"It's best if you're all right. It's just that we heard the news that the imperial doctor was announced overnight in the Empress Dowager's Palace. We are really disturbed by the news." Princess Nan'an said in a low voice mysteriously, Yanyu pretended to be curious and cooperated with her: " It is worrying to hear that the Empress Dowager is not in good health recently."

Princess Nan'an said with high spirits: "But I heard that it might be related to witchcraft."

Yanyu looked surprised: "You can't talk nonsense about witchcraft."

"Nowadays, I have never heard of anything in the palace. I'm afraid it is a secret matter in the palace." Princess Nan'an watched Yanyu's expression secretly, trying to find some answers from it; Generally speaking, the secrets of the palace are beyond your knowledge. Besides, I was also in the queen's palace that night, and I was not in a panic, so how do I have anything to do with the princess?"

Princess Nan'an covered her lips and smiled lightly: "It's just that I'm afraid that the storm is coming and I don't know it. Since I am at the feet of the emperor, I can't do whatever I want after all. After all, the whole family is still looking forward to peace and joy."

Looking at the current situation, Yanyu couldn't figure out how to deal with the witchcraft matter in this way. It seemed that a terrible crisis had been brewing in this tranquility.
