Chapter 049: Generous Gifts
(Thank you Tang for the deep sachet, thank thelionking, the gift of the battlefield girl~)
In the Linlang Pavilion, Concubine Shun looked at the guards kneeling on the ground, her eyes were full of coldness, her lips were pursed, and she looked majestic and inviolable.
Mama Yan stood beside her and reprimanded with a gloomy face: "I searched inside and outside the Linlang Pavilion, but I didn't find anything. I don't want to hear that again!"
Several of the guards had earthy faces, and they didn't dare to say anything.
Concubine Shun raised her hand, stopped Mama Yan's reprimand, and then looked at the dark-faced young man on the side, and said lightly: "Is it not fast and secret, is this how Commander Guo led his subordinates?"
Commander Guo Shi heard this, lowered his head and replied: "This time, it was the negligence of his subordinates, please forgive my mother." ”
Concubine Shun didn't seem to hear this, her brows didn't move, but looked at the kneeling guard carelessly.
Seeing this, Guo Shi said again: "Please forgive your sins." Xu has been tired for several days, and his subordinates have seen it wrong. ”
After a long time, Concubine Shun said, "Stand down." Commander Guo must remember these words and discipline his subordinates well. ”
She waved her hand graciously, still in the same lofty posture, indicating that she didn't care too much.
After Guo Shi and the others left, Concubine Shun was still motionless, and her face was still noble and cold. Just take a closer look, the hand with the luxurious finger guard is trembling slightly.
Mama Yan was half-hunched over, not knowing what to say. It wouldn't be right to say anything at the moment, so I had to be silent.
Concubine Shun finally moved, and her voice didn't sound the same: "Mama, someone is setting up a situation to harm the palace." This palace is calculated. ”
Her tone was too flat, as if she was just recounting something that had nothing to do with her.
However, Mama Yan's heart couldn't help but jump. She has served Concubine Shun for more than two years, and she knows too well that the more indifferent Concubine Shun is, the deeper the anger in her heart.
I'm afraid that someone is going to suffer!
Sure enough, she heard Concubine Shun say: "Fifty canes will be punished by the person who guards the outer door of Linlang Pavilion tonight." Don't hear a snort of pain in this palace. ”
Mama Yan's face changed, and then she replied, "Yes, the slave knows." ”
Fifty rods, mother, this is ...... I want these people's lives!
Mama Yan figured it out at once. Concubine Shun was annoyed that these people didn't guard the outer gate, and the main thing was to kill these people to show those guards.
Who dares to say anything now?
Obviously, Concubine Shun didn't think so. killed the palace maid and the chamberlain, although the guards were temporarily suppressed, but the crisis was not resolved.
What else awaits her, she believes.
Someone has set up a situation to ruin her reputation, who is it? Is it the virtuous concubine who is gradually becoming angry, or is it someone else?
Concubine Shun thought quickly in her mind, trying to sort out tonight's events, but it was too unexpected and dangerous, and she lost her cool after all and couldn't think of anything.
Mama Yan hesitated for a moment, and said cautiously: "Niangniang has seen too many people before, and this incident has happened again, I'm afraid it will spread to the emperor." ”
She had already felt that it was inappropriate. It turned out that someone really took the opportunity to deal with the mother. The concubines in the middle of the harem rely on the emperor's favor. Although the color decay is weak, there is another thing that the emperor can never bear.
How many concubines have lost their lives for no apparent reason, just because of this incident? Even if it is a rumor, they will die immediately!
The most important thing now is not to find out who set up a situation to harm her, but to find a way to deal with the sewage that may be there.
She thought about it again and again, and finally said: "It's not so easy to ruin the reputation of the palace! Hedong is so far away from Jingzhao, the palace won't let this matter get out." Mama, do what this palace says......"
On the second day, an assassin wanted to assassinate Concubine Shun late at night, and it was reported in Wenzhou officialdom. Hearing the news, the observation envoy Xie Li came to the Yingyan Courtyard.
In the Linlang Pavilion, Concubine Shun still did not have a trace of fireworks, and said lightly: "Lord Xie, the Yingyan Courtyard was set up by Lord Xie, and now it has entered the assassin." In my opinion, what should this palace do?"
Xie Li had an ear to report that there were no assassins last night. Concubine Shun said this because she wanted him to cooperate to cover up last night's situation.
How to say it, Xie Lishi, as a third-grade official, can be regarded as a high-ranking and powerful official, but he can't stand Concubine Shun being favored now, and this favor is not a loss.
What's more, he knows how much Concubine Shun came to Hedong. It just so happens that the Xie family is also very interested in Wei Junxiang, and with Concubine Shun here, the water in Hedong can be more turbid.
Muddy waters are good for fishing.
So Xie Lishi replied: "Niangniang is frightened. The officer immediately ordered an all-out effort to track down the Assassin's traces. ”
Concubine Shun nodded with satisfaction, and secretly sighed in her heart. With Xie Li's tone, she doesn't have to leave Hedong for the time being. Best, if she can find out what news in Hedong, then she won't have to be afraid.
She wants to see who is setting up a situation to harm her!
For a while, the two had their own plans, and they both praised each other's performance.
No one knew what Concubine Shun said to Xie Lishi and Yuan Zhan, only that Xie Lishi quickly sent guards from the observer envoy to escort Concubine Shun to change her residence.
As for Concubine Shun's new residence, of course, not many people know.
At the same time, the Observation Embassy also stepped up an investigation of the city, and it was said that it was to find the Assassin as soon as possible. For a time, all shops and major inns were greatly affected.
Because of the heat caused by Gan Tang Yaji, he was pounced on like this. The merchants were distressed, but they didn't dare to say much because of the nobles in the palace, and only complained in private.
Gradually, some people talked about the stilt of the assassination. The nobles have always been fine in the Yingyan Courtyard, how could they be assassinated suddenly? Why do you think it's too strange, there are many guards in the Yingyan Courtyard, how did the assassin get in?
The ones who know this best are Concubine Shun's guards. One of the guards couldn't help it, and said to Guo Shi: "Commander, we obviously saw someone ......."
"If you don't want to die, stop talking!" Guo Shi warned coldly, stopping the guard's words.
Since Concubine Shun said that there were assassins, that is, there were assassins, how could there be a place for them to put their beaks now? Besides, Guo Shi felt that the situation that night was too suspicious.
He thought of the royal order, and did not rule out the possibility that someone deliberately framed Concubine Shun.
Zheng Heng, who was at ease in the Hou Mansion to "recuperate", couldn't help but nod after hearing about the assassin, and thought: "Wei Xian's reaction is indeed fast enough, but unfortunately, she is still reluctant to leave Hedong." ”
Presumably, her purpose of coming to Hedong has not been achieved. Then, the mourning family will give her a generous gift!
Thinking like this, Zheng Heng picked up the paper he had just written, blew it gently, and said to Ying Zhen: "Send this out." ”
I don't know if Wei Xian will be satisfied with this gift? At this time, Zheng Heng himself was very satisfied. Concubine Shun stabbed her twice, and it was time to pay it back.
