Chapter 44
In front of Fengxiang Palace, a woman in pink palace attire was anxiously waiting for someone, her round, snow-white face tightly furrowed with crescent-shaped eyebrows.
"Sister Lu Fei, what are you doing? Why are you lingering in front of the door?" Wen Weili smiled and walked towards the woman in palace dress. "Are you waiting for your lover?"
"You deserve a beating! Why are you so late today?" The woman in palace dress glanced at Wen Weili. "You dare to make the queen wait so long? I'm afraid you are just playing around and don't know the rules of your house."
"Sister Lu Fei, please don't scare me," Wen Weili smiled sweetly. "The Queen is kind-hearted. She wouldn't care if I come on time or not."
"You're such a smooth talker," Lu Fei waved the dustpan in front of Wen Weili, "Go in quickly. The Queen isn't angry yet, so you've escaped a disaster."
"Thank you, Sister Lu Fei~" Wen Weili smiled and bowed to Lu Fei, took something out of her sleeve and gently pushed it into Lu Fei's hand, "Please accept this little thing, Sister."
After saying that, Wen Weili walked quickly into Fengxiang Palace without waiting for Lu Fei's reaction.
Lu Fei opened her palm, and in her palm lay an eyebrow pencil of rather fine workmanship. On the pen was the mark of a well-known cosmetics shop. She couldn't help but smile slightly and put the eyebrow pencil in her arms. "You little rascal, I don't know where you got this thing from, and you want to fool me."
At the side hall door, Wen Weili was looking out curiously and called softly, "Is Sister Luzhi here?"
"Are you there, Sister Luzhi? I brought you something good."
"Luzhi is not here. Get in here right now." A rather dignified female voice came from the palace, but the words it uttered were extremely aggressive. "You're taking so long to come. Do you think I have to ask you three or four times before you're willing to come?"
"I dare not," Wen Weili heard the woman's question and restrained the smile on her face. She walked slowly into the hall with a serious face and began to salute in a serious manner, "I, Lu Yi, greet my madam..."
Wen Weili hadn't finished her formalities when the Queen called her up, "Hurry up and stop talking nonsense. Has the Third Prince made any unusual moves?"
Wen Weili looked puzzled: "Didn't the Queen order this servant to lurk beside Prince Huai?"
The Queen was already getting impatient, and when she saw the servant was making excuses, she scolded him, "I think you're tired of living. Who gave you the courage to speak like that? Come on—"
"I dare not, Your Majesty! It's just that I am not hiding in the Third Prince's mansion, and I don't know any news about the Third Prince." Wen Weili interrupted the Queen in panic and defended herself.
"How could it be?" The Queen was confused by Wen Weili's performance, "Could it be that Luzhi misunderstood my meaning..." The Queen fell into deep thought. She would never have thought that someone would dare to replace the identity of the spy and deceive him to come to her openly.
"Well, you go down first." The Queen thought for a moment before telling Wen Weili to go down. "Lvyu, go find Lvzhi and come back. I want to ask her what she did!"
"Yes." Lu Yu responded from behind the curtain, her voice gloomy and rough.
Wen Weili retreated quietly and squatted silently in the corner of Fengxiang Palace. She seemed to be depressed after being scolded by her master, but in fact she was analyzing the current situation with an expressionless face. Judging from the reactions of the people she came into contact with, she was very successful in replacing Lu Yi's identity and would not be exposed for the time being. After all, Lu Yi was one of the prince's capable subordinates. Even if the queen asked Lu Zhi, she could only conclude that there was something wrong with the order. If she investigated further, she would only find out that the order was given by the third prince himself.
After all, it was the Third Prince who took the initiative to transfer Lv Yi to Prince Huai's Palace. Even if the Queen thought about it, she would never have thought that Lv Yi was a spy trained by them but was discovered by the Third Prince. However, the Third Prince did not execute the Crown Prince's spy after discovering it. Instead, he subdued Lv Yi and sent her to Prince Huai's Palace in the name of a beautiful woman.
The third prince thought that he would make a profit by borrowing the prince's knife to deal with Duanmu Huaixin, but he never expected that Lu Yi had made a deal with Prince Huai's Mansion. She handed over everything she had, including everything she knew in the palace.
It was with the help of the information told by Lu Yi that Wen Weili successfully disguised herself and sneaked into the palace, and she still maintained the identity of a double spy for the third prince.
This wave, this wave is just exploration within exploration.
Both the Crown Prince and the Third Prince thought they had absolute control over the spies, but they did not expect that there would be a monster like Lu Yi who was willing to die.
As for green Job's tears?
Wen Weili smiled. Lu Yi was an extremely smart woman. She could see that Duanmu Huaixin had no intention of killing them, and Wen Weili even had pity for women like them. She gave up her identity and disappeared that night, even in the name of delivering a message.
"I haven't seen you for a long time. What have you been doing in Prince Huai's Mansion?" Suddenly a voice came from behind Wen Weili, and the footsteps were so light as if someone had seen a ghost in broad daylight.
Wen Weili turned around and said with a smile: "Sister is still like this - so familiar -"
Clothes in blue, expressionless face, cold voice.
"——Sister, you are still as beautiful as ever. You are truly the green-branched beauty that makes your little sister's heart flutter~"
"What did you do in Prince Huai's mansion?" Luzhi was not moved by Luyi's useless words.
"Sister Luzhi is still so boring..." Wen Weili complained, half-heartedly, "After all, we've been sisters for many years, but when we meet, she doesn't even ask if I'm eating well or if I'm doing well. Instead, she starts talking about that useless thing in Prince Huai's mansion. It's really a letdown."
"Prince Huai's Mansion." This time Luzhi asked more concisely.
Wen Weili could only curl her lips and answered seriously, "Before the master took action, Prince Huai's Mansion had always left concubines like us aside and ignored us. Ever since that abominable eldest daughter of the Wen family entered the mansion, she has monopolized Prince Huai's favor and even confined us to a courtyard and has someone to watch over us..."
Luzhi nodded. This was the message that Luyi had sent back before entering the palace, and it was indeed correct. But she waited for a while but did not hear any further words from Luyi.
Green Branch:?
'Green Job's Tears':?
The two looked at each other and saw confusion in each other's eyes.
After a moment's silence, Luzhi spoke first. She knew that Luyi was going to tease her with her bad temper, and she didn't want to just stare at Luyi and wait for her to do something weird.
"after?"
"After that," Wen Weili suddenly realized, "So, sister, you want to know what happened afterwards? But isn't it already known to everyone: the master's operation was successful, Prince Huai's mansion was surrounded, and I faked my own death to escape."
"I'm not asking you that." Luzhi felt irritated for a rare time. Among the sisters who trained at the same time, Luyi was the one she was most reluctant to face. Luyi had a very bad temper and her training was not the most diligent, but she was the one most loved by the master among them, and she had to compete with her and endure her teasing many times.
"So what does Sister Luzhi want to ask?" Wen Weili blinked. "It's been a long time since we last met, and yet you and I seem so distant. With someone as beautiful as you, I'm bound to tell you everything I know."
"..." So annoying, how come this girl Lu Yi is even more annoying? Hold it in, don't give this girl a chance to change the subject. Lu Zhi calmed down and scolded: "I asked you to tell me the news about Prince Huai."
Wen Weili pretended to think for a while, then slowly walked towards Luzhi and stretched out her hand, as if she wanted to touch her.
Frightened, Luzhi quickly dodged Luyi and shouted, "What do you want to do?!"
Wen Weili leaned forward slightly and said, "Didn't I tell you long ago that the concubines were locked up and knew nothing? Naturally, I'm the one being watched as well. Don't you believe me, sister?"
Of course I won't believe you, but although Lu Yi likes to play tricks on people, she won't drag her feet on crucial matters, so I can barely believe you, Lu Zhi thought to herself, but she wouldn't say it directly. After all, believing in your heart is one thing, but if you put it out in the open, Lu Yi will definitely become even more out of line.
"Since there is no news about Prince Huai, you should leave the palace." Judging from the news about Lu Yi, the Queen Mother's order did not go wrong with Lu Yi, so where else could it be?
But before leaving, Luzhi looked at Luyi deeply, as if warning and admonishing: "You know what happened to Luye, don't ask the master and the queen to break the rules."
"Sister Luzhi, are you worried about me? I'm so happy. I hope you take care of your health so that you can serve the master and the queen better." Wen Weili said with a smile.
Lvzhi didn't want to listen to Lvyi's useless words at all, so she turned around and left, leaving only Lvyi's laughter behind: "Hey, sister, don't go, I miss you so much..."
Annoying! Luzhi quickened her pace, even ignoring her usual composure, hoping that this girl wouldn't set her sights on her again.
Looking at Luzhi's departing figure, Wen Weili still had a slight smile on her face, but in her mind she was quickly recalling the information Luyi had given her. Who is Luye?
After confirming several times, Wen Weili was sure that Lu Yi did not say any information related to the name Lu Ye. Excluding the possibility that Lu Yi forgot, it meant that Lu Ye was dead.
Only the dead lose their meaning in the mouths of spies, because the high and mighty "masters" will not care about a useless person. Only the thin friendship among companions may be mentioned at some point.
But Luzhi mentioned Luye at this moment... Could it be that she doubted me? Wen Weili pondered silently. No matter what Luzhi's thoughts were, they might be exposed, but as long as her "masters" didn't think there was a problem, Luyi could successfully hide. However, if her plan succeeded, Luyi's identity would naturally no longer need to be hidden.
"Sister Lu Fei, why are you still waiting for me here?" Wen Weili was walking slowly when she found Lu Fei jogging towards her.
"Oh, don't you know the time? It's already so late, and the palace gates have been locked." Lu Fei wanted to knock on Lu Yi's head a few times, "You're always causing trouble for me. I'll arrange for you to stay in the room next to mine tonight."
"This..." Wen Weili hesitated for a moment, "This isn't good."
Lu Fei's kindness was rejected, and she was so angry that she said angrily, "No?! If you're not good, then just sleep on the floor!"
"Good sister, good sister, my kind sister Lu Fei, tonight..." Wen Weili smiled shyly, "Is it okay if I want to live in the same room with you?"
"!!!" Lu Fei took a big step back, "What kind of evil spirit did you bring from outside?!"
"Hmm?" Wen Weili knew exactly what Lu Fei was saying, but she covered her ears like a two-year-old baby. "Oh, sister Lu Fei, what are you talking about? I just haven't seen you for a long time and I have something private to say~"
Lu Fei agreed hesitantly, but emphasized: "But don't use your weird tricks on me, otherwise you will be in trouble! I am not like Lu Zhi who is easy to bully."
"Yeah, of course my sister won't do that. Yi'er is so well behaved."
Lu Fei: ． ． ． ． ． ．
Lu Fei was speechless. If you had the guts to tell this to Lu Zhi, Lu Zhi would believe you even if a pig climbs a tree.
