Chapter 87 Get it!
The night is dark.
Jin Weige sat up suddenly, with his face half exposed in the moonlight, "Xiyue."
Xiyue quickly stepped forward and lit the candle, "Madam, I am here, are you having a nightmare?"
Jin Weige didn't just have a nightmare; she just couldn't sleep at all.
Whenever she thought about the fact that her elder brother had a close relationship with Bai Wutong, she felt like she couldn't breathe. I was angry and annoyed, but there was nothing I could do.
My eldest brother has always been a very opinionated person. Once he makes up his mind about something, no one else can persuade him.
"Xiyue, do you still have the pattern of embroidery that Zhaopin used at that time?"
"Yes, it's among Sister Jiayue's things."
"Bring all the things related to Concubine Zhao. Especially the part about her embroidery. Don't leave out any of it."
Xiyue didn't understand why, but she went to get it anyway.
Jin Weige gritted her teeth and looked through all the patterns Jiayue had collected and some recorded needle techniques. Then she picked up the needle and thread and began to learn Bai Wutong's techniques.
Xiyue covered her mouth and took a step back in disbelief. Then her eyes were filled with heartache and tears could not stop falling. "My queen, what are you doing..."
"Since my brother is unwilling to leave the purse behind, that thing is a threat. If someone finds out, he will be unable to defend himself. By then, not only will this implicate me, but the entire Jin family as well."
No matter how reluctant she was, she had to make all the necessary preparations at this moment.
Who knows, will that purse become the death warrant for the Jin family?
"My queen, you have suffered so much!" Xiyue threw herself at her legs, crying out of breath.
The Queen is such a strong-willed person, she has never bowed her head, let alone to that bitch Zhaopin.
But now, she has to force herself to do this.
How painful it must be in my heart!
…
Inside Zhaochun Hall.
The little palace maid brought hot water into the room and placed it at Bai Wutong's feet, "Madam, I will wash your feet for you."
Bai Wutong looked at her. She was not a stranger, but she would not enter the palace on weekdays. She must be a second-class palace maid working outside.
"Why are you here to serve me today? Where's Chan'er?"
"Sister Chan'er is not feeling well and has gone to the toilet. Please ask me to bring you some hot water first."
Bai Wutong didn't think much about it and lay down on the bed after washing.
When the little palace maid stood up, she slipped and almost fell on Bai Wutong.
Fortunately, I managed to hold on with both hands, otherwise I would have hit her stomach.
The maid was so scared that she knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, I accidentally slipped. Please forgive me."
As she spoke, she put one hand into her sleeve, but quickly took it out.
Bai Wutong didn't see it and waved his hand, signaling her to go out quickly.
He is so clumsy, no wonder he can only work outside and cannot be served closely.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." The maid lowered her head and walked out quickly.
When all the candles in the hall were extinguished, the palace maid walked carefully to the back mountain and stepped out of Zhaochun Hall from the small door on the side.
She walked hurriedly, braving the wind and snow, tucking her hands together to keep warm.
"Who is it?" A dark shadow dropped from the sky and stopped her.
The maid avoided his gaze and said, "I am here to help my master find something."
Lin Sheng brought several patrolling guards with him and looked her up and down. "Which palace are you from? What are you looking for so late at night?"
"I came out to look for my earrings. Sir, please don't embarrass me."
"I am just patrolling as usual. How can I embarrass you? Tell me, which palace are you from?"
According to palace rules, a curfew will be imposed in the palace at night.
Except for the emperor and the patrolling guards, no one else is allowed to run around. Once discovered, they will be severely punished.
The palace maid in front of me refused to reveal her identity several times, which was very suspicious.
Lin Sheng said coldly, "If you don't reveal your identity, I will arrest you. Even if your master comes, it will be useless!"
The maid lowered her head and moved her clasped hands uneasily, "I..."
Lin Sheng became more and more certain that this person was suspicious!
He didn't wait any longer and waved his hand, "Take it!"
The maid was pinned to the ground by several guards.
His hands spread apart and a letter fell onto the snow.
Lin Sheng understood, "It turned out to be a messenger."
He looked at the four words "Personally written by Jin Zhi" on it and frowned slightly.
Does he want to read Lord Jin’s letter?
But thinking of his responsibilities, he still opened it.
After seeing the above content, his face changed drastically.
The guard next to him asked curiously, "Master Lin, what does it say?"
Lin Sheng's heart was beating wildly, and he immediately put the letter away, "Let's go see the emperor!"
In the sleeping hall.
Zhang Chengyan put on his clothes and went out.
Lin Sheng knelt on his knees and presented the letter, "Your Majesty, I was patrolling outside with others and saw a suspicious palace maid who was not sleeping in the middle of the night and was walking quickly in the palace. I stopped her and found a letter from her..."
Zhang Chengyan took it and his face changed suddenly after seeing the content on it.
He couldn't help but clench his fists and said in a very cold voice, "Who is this person from?"
"It is... Zhaochun Palace."
"Okay, very good!"
Lin Sheng lowered his head, held his breath, and dared not make the slightest sound.
The content of the note was truly too shocking!
Not to mention the emperor, he was so frightened that his legs almost collapsed when he saw it.
"Someone, go call Concubine Zhao. I want to ask her what this letter is about!"
Lin Sheng raised his head, "Your Majesty, then Lord Jin..."
"Let him enter the palace too!"
An hour later.
Bai Wutong pulled his cloak tighter and came to the outside of the Palace of Tranquil Longevity in the wind and snow.
Through the bright window paper, you can clearly see the crowds of people inside.
It’s so late, but so many people have come. Could something have happened?
Chan'er muttered, "My queen, it's snowing so heavily, but the emperor still asked you to come here. It's really inconsiderate of you."
Bai Wutong looked up.
The snowflakes fell on her face, very cold.
Yes, it was snowing so heavily, but he still called me over without even a sedan chair.
Bai Wutong's heart sank. She could almost conclude that today was not going to be a good day.
She thought about it and the only thing that could threaten her was the matter between her and Jin Zhi.
Someone was fanning the flames behind the scenes, and rumors were flying everywhere in just one day. Maybe the other party had resorted to some tricks to make the matter even more difficult.
Wang Decai stepped forward with a complicated look in his eyes, "Empress Zhao, you are here. Please come in quickly. The Emperor and his men are waiting for you."
There is no way to retreat at this point, you can only move forward. No matter what happens, the only way is to respond to it.
Bai Wutong tried hard to suppress the tension and fear in her heart, and walked into the Yangxin Palace with a normal look, saying in a soft voice, "Your Majesty, what do you want from me?"
