Chapter 168: A Song Proves Innocence
At this moment, Yan Shiyong was leaning leisurely by the door, slowly watching all this, and did not help anyone. Originally, in the battle between the palace maids, why did she have a master to intervene?
Seeing Leng Kesi become the final winner was both expected and unexpected by her. What was expected was that Leng Kesi would definitely win, but what was unexpected was that she was so vicious and didn't give her opponent any leeway.
However, it is precisely this that Yan Shiyong appreciates.
She walked in slowly and grabbed Leng Kesi's arm: "This Leng Kesi, I'll take it back to Qixiang Palace." β
The aunt in charge was taken aback: "Qing noble, you haven't left yet?"
"I'm just gone. Yan Shiyong said, "But I'm going back again." β
The aunt in charge was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Take it away, it is her blessing to be favored by the Qing nobles." β
Yan Shiyong grabbed Leng Kesi and left the palace maid's office.
"Qing noble, ...... you" Leng Kesi was stunned, "What do you want me to do?"
"Do you believe that Lin Xuanzhi is innocent?" Yan Shiyong didn't say anything, just said.
Although Leng Kesi didn't understand why Yan Shiyong said this, he still nodded lightly.
Yan Shiyong said: "That's good. Come back to Qixiang Palace with me, and let's discuss how to prove her innocence. If you follow me, you can't mess around in vain, you have to do things for me. β
"The slave and maid can't do things for the little master in vain. Leng Kesi took advantage of the fire to rob.
"I'll support you as a concubine, okay?" Yan Shiyong suddenly said.
Leng Kesi was startled, and then shook his head: "Forget it, I just want to live an ordinary life when I enter the palace, and I want to marry in style at the age of twenty-five, and I don't want to be a concubine." He is the Son of Heaven, it is impossible for the Son of Heaven to be evenly stained with rain and dew, there are three thousand beauties in the harem, no matter how much I compete for favor, there is no point. After all, it's just a dream. β
Yan Shiyong raised her eyebrows, this girl seems to be reckless and reckless, and she is quite good at analyzing the big truth! It seems that she underestimated her.
"How old are you?"
"Fifteen. Leng Kesi said softly, but in these two words, there was a kind of majesty, which made Yan Shiyong, the concubine, a little afraid.
No, she's just a palace maid!
Yan Shiyong took her hand: "I appreciate your decisiveness. β
"I can't talk about killing decisively, it's just that Bai Liuli, the little master doesn't know. Leng Kesi smiled.
"Oh?" Yan Shiyong was very curious, could there be another secret?
Leng Kesi smiled lightly: "Wen Cairen is from the palace maid, which is understandable." It's just that the emperors of all dynasties have made palace maids concubines, and the matter itself is nothing, and after Bai Liuli's publicity, it made a fuss. and those songs sung by Wen Cairen, they have simply become divine songs in their eyes, and they feel that if they learn it, they will be able to get on the top. However, those palace maids say that grapes are sour when they can't eat grapes, and they use every means to discredit these songs every day. β
"Don't interrupt. Yan Shiyong asked, "Is there anything special about that Bai Liuli's identity?"
"Just by virtue of her, a palace maid, with a surname, isn't this special?" Leng Kesi looked at her, "Among all the palace maids who have newly entered the palace, except for the current Wen Cairen, only me and her have a surname." β
Yan Shiyong didn't speak again, but just fell into deep thought.
"Let's go back to Qixiang Palace. Yan Shiyong smiled slowly.
Back in Qixiang Palace, Wen Ruyan saw that Yan Shiyong had brought someone back, and couldn't help but look: "Who is this?"
"The maid of the Splendid Pavilion is cold and thoughtful. Leng Kesi is still very humble in front of his master.
Wen Ruyan's red lips moved: "You were sent by the Qing nobles to help?"
"Wen Cairen is really smart. Leng Kesi smiled.
But soon, she changed the topic again: "Wen Cairen, do you like to sing those songs very much? Can you sing them to me, they are very good." β
"Okay, what do you want to hear?" Wen Ruyan said kindly.
"Sing me all the songs you can sing. Leng Kesi smiled lightly.
"Fuck off. Wen Ruyan pursed her lips, "Don't sing." β
Leng Kesi suddenly asked: "The last time I sent clothes to Jingren Palace, I passed by the Heart Cultivation Palace, and I heard Wen Cairen tell the emperor that there are some songs composed by Lin Xuanzhi's lover for her, is it true?"
Wen Ruyan: "......"
I refuse to answer this question. Wen Ruyan covered Leng Kesi's mouth with a solemn face, "This kind of thing, you can't talk nonsense in the future." β
"Yes, yes, no, no, let's say, no third person knows. Leng Kesi said.
Yan Shiyong found that she was being ignored, and looked at them dissatisfied: "Am I not human?"
"Sing it to me anyway. Leng Kesi said to Wen Ruyan, "Sing and sing!"
Wen Ruyan reluctantly sang a cloud ballad: "The tea fragrance is in the bookcase, the color is smudged, and the magnolia is painted with wonderful hands." Candle smoke shakes the gauze curtain, turns thousands of times, and embroiders the red edge with a clever smile. Okay, right?"
"What is this?" Leng Kesi frowned, then smiled, "Sounds pretty good." Hey, who wrote that?"
Wen Ruyan said nonsense: "I am an enemy in love." β
Leng Kesi was even more confused now: "What?"
"You're not finished!" Yan Shiyong was completely speechless to these two people, "You'd better shout louder, so that the entire palace knows what you're talking about!"
Leng Kesi was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Ha! It turns out that Wen Cairen is a homogeneous!"
Wen Ruyan's mind didn't turn around for a moment.
"Lin Xuanzhi's lover is your rival, doesn't it mean that you like Lin Xuanzhi!" Leng Kesi laughed.
Wen Ruyan was anxious: "No, I like ......."
"Come, I'll find a microphone, and you can let the whole palace hear it. Yan Shiyong was about to find the microphone.
"Don't!" Wen Ruyan was anxious, that was a capital crime!
Yan Shiyong narrowed her eyes: "Sister Wen, I think I can use your lies to save Qi Wei." β
"What?" Wen Ruyan was stunned.
It's just that Leng Kesi has found a horn out of nowhere and put it to Wen Ruyan's mouth: "Say, who are you going to say just now?"
Wen Ruyan was stunned, and then shouted: "Lin Qiwei is innocentβ"
This voice instantly spread throughout the entire palace.
Not to be outdone, Leng Kesi added: "The banner of forgetting envy will never fall, save Lin Xuan's servantββ"
"What did you say?!" Yan Shiyong grabbed Leng Kesi's arm.
Leng Kesi shook her off: "Isn't this a sentence that I heard Wen Cairen nagging a lot, and improvised it." β
Yan Shiyong didn't mean it: "I hope so." β
Sure enough, Mu Chenhuan heard their "collective protest" and came to Qixiang Palace: "What are you talking about?"
"They're crazy, leave them alone. Yan Shiyong hurriedly said, what if Mu Chenhuan wants to investigate deeply and asks who is forgetful of envy?
Mu Chenhuan just looked at Wen Ruyan and Leng Kesi: "You say that Lin Qiwei is innocent, is there any evidence?"
"Yes. Leng Kesi was very calm, "Do you remember the songs that Wen Cairen said, she was the one who said...... It was Lin Qiwei's lover who composed it for her. β
"Hmm...... That year?" Mu Chenhuan struggled to recall.
Wen Ruyan shook her head: "Let's choose one of the concubines." How about pouring out the whole world?"
Of course, this song is not written by "Lin Qiwei's lover", it is a song by Hetu. When did Lin Qiwei ever have a lover?
"That's a good name. Mu Chenhuan nodded, "Lin Qiwei's letter must still be there." β
The letter said that at eight o'clock in the evening, Lin Qiwei gathered next to the palace wall. Wen Ruyan smiled, "If Lin Qiwei really has any lover, then he will definitely be able to pick it up, and vice versa." β
In fact, Mu Chenhuan also subconsciously didn't want Lin Qiwei to have a lover. After all, neither a benefactor who saved his daughter nor a person who is unfaithful to himself wants to be alone.
Eight o'clock sharp, next to the palace wall.
"The sound of the sword and halberd is hoarse, who will take you to see the fight outside the city. Seven-fold gauze clothes, blood spattered white yarn, and the six armies under the city did not send it. Wen Ruyan sang in a soft voice, the voice was not loud, but it gave people a heart-rending feeling.
"If you are really Lin Qiwei's lover, please pick up the song of the concubine. Wen Ruyan bowed outside the empty palace wall.
Silent.
Mu Chenhuan couldn't help but be fascinated by Wen Ruyan's voice.
Wen Ruyan's singing voice is not good, but in a different atmosphere, it can produce a different feeling.
"Who knows that goodbye is life and death. At that time, I was wrapped in a red thread for a thousand turns, and I married as a person with a thought, that scar, whose old scar, can still drink tea quietly......" Wen Ruyan saw that no one responded, so he continued to sing.
Her voice was very quiet, and even a little stage frightened, but even the guards guarding the palace gate were overwhelmed by her singing, and for a moment they looked like a log.
β...... The silent noise in the embrace, the wind swept through the sky and slaughtered. After Rong Hua thanked him, he came to ...... world" Wen Ruyan continued to sing softly, as if it had become a concert exclusive to her.
"Brush off the snowflakes on your clothes and look at the vastness of the world side by side. Wen Ruyan finished singing slowly, her eyes full of desolation.
Mu Chenhuan was stunned, and even Wen Ruyan herself was stunned.
She said to the guards in an irrefutable tone, "Open the palace gate." β
The palace door opened, and Wen Ruyan walked out slowly, her back was poignant. She smiled back, and her lovely and pitiful eyes looked at Mu Chenhuan: "Your Majesty, the concubine is going to go out of the palace to play!"
"You ......" Mu Chenhuan glanced at Wen Ruyan with doting eyes, and slowly instructed Su Zhongquan, "The proposed decree is to lift the seal of Zhong Cui Palace, restore her title, and make her a concubine!"
Su Zhongquan hesitated a little: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid this is not in accordance with the rules." She hasn't done anything, but she was misunderstood by the emperor, isn't it a little too arbitrary?"
"Haven't done anything?" Mu Chenhuan glared at him, "Who saved my Princess Leyang?"
"But she never went to bed, according to the rules of the ancestors......"
"If it weren't for her, Princess Leyang would have died in Jiuquan a long time ago!" Mu Chenhuan kicked Su Zhongquan fiercely, "Why are you so obsessed!"
Su Zhongquan nodded: "Yes, the slave will go to draft the decree immediately." β
In Zhong Cui's Palace, Lin Qiwei and Honglian were both kneeling.
"Fengtian carrier, the emperor Zhao said......"
Lin Qiwei listened to the fact that she was named a concubine by Jin, her expression was extremely calm, without a trace of waves, she just learned the plot in the court drama and said: "Thank the emperor for his grace." β
All the concubines moved back to Zhongcui Palace.
Yan Shiyong walked up to Lin Qiwei and said in a smooth tone: "See Concubine Yun, Concubine Yun Niangniang is auspicious." β
"Fight with me?" Lin Qiwei shook her fan, "Looking for a fight?"
Yan Shiyong didn't say anything.
"By the way, what about Sister Wen?" Lin Qiwei said suddenly.
At this moment, Wen Ruyan picked up a sachet in the grass outside the palace. This sachet has a unique agarwood, and if you look closely, it looks similar to the sachet of the jade concubine.
Could it be ...... Wen Ruyan didn't dare to think about it anymore!
She hurriedly stuffed the sachet into her pocket, and her intuition told her that it would be of great use to keep it.
Wen Ruyan ran back and sat down in front of Lin Qiwei: "Ah, Qiwei, you have been made a concubine!"
"yes. Lin Qiwei smiled.
"You really have a koi physique!" Wen Ruyan said from the bottom of her heart.
Lin Qiwei shrugged her shoulders and slapped Wen Ruyan: "Looking for a draw!" If it weren't for Sister Xiao's superb medical skills, I wouldn't be able to save my life now!"
Facing her good sister, Wen Ruyan did not choose to disclose the sachet, which is a secret that only she knows......
