Tingxue Hall is Qiu Ziqiang's palace. Hua Yunya's eyes immediately turned red, and she couldn't suppress the anger in her heart even if she gritted her teeth!
Then the maid handed over a pebble:
"This is what I found when I went to investigate the place where Master Jin fell when no one was around."
Before Qiao Yu could see what it was, Hua Yunya snatched the pebble from the palace maid's hand like a madman.
Because the force was too great, Hua Yunya's long nails scratched a long line on the back of the palace maid's hand, and the pain instantly made the palace maid cry.
Qiao Yu gestured to Zhu'er to take her to apply medicine, then turned to ask Hua Yunya:
"What's so strange about this stone?"
Hua Yunya sneered non-stop, and her voice echoed throughout the huge palace, which was strange and creepy:
"What could it be? This is a pebble that belongs exclusively to Tingxue Pavilion!!!"
Qiao Yu pretended not to understand. How come such a big palace only had a few pebbles, and she, Qiu Ziqian, was the only one who owned them?
Pebbles are not strange, but pebbles covered with moss and soaked in oil are very special.
Hua Yunya certainly recognized these pebbles, and she also knew where the moss on them came from. After all, it was this that she had her spies do specifically when she plotted against Qiu Ziqiang last time.
Unexpectedly, Qiu Zixing was lucky and just sprained his ankle, nothing serious.
I think she found out, and Qiu Ziqiang was retaliating. Even if Hua Yunyao knew that it was her fault this time, if it was really investigated, Hua Yunyao would be unable to defend himself.
"Qiu! Zi! Qiu! She's the one who ruined our relationship again. She bullied you and me like this. You can swallow this anger, but I can't!"
"Okay, okay, you're injured. Getting angry won't help the wound heal."
Under normal circumstances, Qiao Yu would have given her a good lecture, but who told her that she was now a good elder sister who was worried about her younger half-sister?
Qiu Zixue did discover it, but she didn't place the pebbles there. She came to find Qiao Yu with these stones and the palace maid who was captured by Hua Yunya.
At that time, Qiu Zixue had just gained favor, and Qiao Yu intended to "protect" Hua Yunya. Qiu Zixue thought of it as giving face to Qiao Yu and had to take this matter into consideration.
I just want to say that if there is a next time, don't blame her for not understanding that Qiao Yu, as the legitimate sister, still cares about and protects her illegitimate sister.
It was naturally impossible for Qiu Zixue to let the two Hua sisters go. She was not as stupid as Hua Yunya who would play such petty tricks. She was waiting for an opportunity.
Of course, the reason why Hua Yunya was thrown out this time was not Qiu Zixue's fault, but Qiao Yu's.
Hua Yunyao did not doubt Qiao Yu when she saw the pebble because she felt guilty, so she only thought it was Qiu Ziqiang.
The next day, the Queen Mother questioned Qiao Yu, saying that she was asking about Hua Yunya, but in fact, she just mentioned it briefly and didn't care about her anymore.
Instead, he looked at Qiao Yu with a questioning look:
"The emperor hasn't been to your palace for quite some time. Jin Liangyuan is just your concubine sister after all. You should focus your worries on yourself!"
The girl lowered her head slightly and did not refute the Queen Mother's words:
"Lan'er understands. But this time, if I don't let the emperor vent his anger and remove the thorn in his heart, even if the emperor comes to Lan'er's palace, it will be like a flower that does not last forever."
The thorn in Yan Fu's heart is that Hua Yunlan was once Yan Qu's fiancée. Any man would not be completely indifferent to it, let alone a severely suspicious person like Yan Fu?
After Qiao Yu said this, Empress Dowager Xue's expression softened a little, and she took Qiao Yu's hand in a pretentious manner:
"Aunt understands your difficulties, but if the emperor doesn't hold on to his heart in time, I'm afraid you..."
"Don't worry, Auntie. Lan'er will know her limits."
Empress Dowager Xue originally thought that Qiao Yu had given up on herself, so she naturally called her in to give her a good scolding so that she would go to Yan Fu to seek favor as soon as possible.
Rather than just listening to what she said, Qiao Yu knew what to do herself, which would be better, so she simply set a deadline for her. If things didn't develop as she expected, Qiao Yu would have to listen to Empress Dowager Xue.
On the Wanshou Festival, Hua Yunya was dressed very delicately and beautifully today because it was Qiao Yu who did her makeup personally.
After all, she had modern makeup techniques, so her makeup was naturally much better than that of the palace maids and nannies. Even Hua Yunya couldn't help but be stunned by herself in the mirror.
"Sister..."
Hua Yunya was so moved that he didn't know what to say. Looking at Qiao Yu, he saw that she was only dressed a little more formally than usual and didn't dress too much.
"Yunya is the most beautiful today. You must ignore all the mocking looks and just sit in your seat with dignity and grace."
"Yes, yes! Sister, go and dress up quickly. You are so beautiful, the emperor will surely be amazed by you again and forget about that..."
"Hmm? You forgot what I said?"
It was Qiao Yu's disapproving look and warning tone that prevented Hua Yunyao from saying the word "bitch". Hua Yunyao playfully stuck out his tongue.
"Today's protagonist is our Yun Ya. How could my eldest sister be so ignorant as to steal your limelight?"
In fact, Hua Yunya asked Qiao Yu to dress up against her will. She really admitted that Qiao Yu was good-looking, and her skin had become even whiter and more eye-catching in recent days.
But if she is too dazzling, the emperor will not be able to see her.
Hua Yunya stopped pushing her to dress herself up and asked carefully:
"Sister, are you ready for the gift you mentioned?"
"Don't worry, we agreed that this time we'll make Concubine Qiu look bad and win back the Emperor's favor, so don't remember what happened last time."
'Originally' Qiao Yu prepared a better gift to let Hua Yunya stand out, but Hua Yunya's 'secret agent' found out about the longevity painting that Qiu Ziqiang had given to the emperor, so he asked Qiao Yu to prepare a gift identical to Qiu Ziqiang's.
The only purpose was to make Qiu Ziqiang's calligraphy completely different from hers. Hua Yunya knew how good his good sister's calligraphy was, as it was taught by the old Duke.
