When Qin Yunyi learned the news, the rumors had already made Qi Zongwen lose her temper several times, and even the queen in the palace did not avoid it, reprimanding her for not managing the palace strictly, and again and again this kind of public opinion accident, and was scolded for being headless and faceless.

In fact, she really wronged the queen this time, she was shocked when she heard the rumors, after all, she didn't know how Concubine Li died, let alone think of it, and then let people spread the word.

Qi Zongwen's eyes were not so tight, and Qin Yunyi summoned Princess Shan to come in and chat with her.

"Your Majesty has been a little hot lately, and these girls looked at me and stopped talking, as if something was wrong, but when I asked, they all said it was okay. ”

"If I think about it, I can only ask you, but what's going on outside the palace?" Qin Yunyi asked.

"Nothing happened outside the palace, it's all good. The good princess said, "The concubine was accidentally injured, and there were fewer people riding horses and playing polo in the palace. ”

"But what does it have to do with me?" Qin Yunyi said, "Could it be that I am a demon concubine in Beijing again?"

"Mother!" said the good princess, "it is all ignorant people who do not understand you that they will be fooled by rumors." Anyone who knows you knows that Niangniang is a good person. ”

"Sure enough, it has something to do with me. Qin Yun nodded clearly, "If you don't say it, the rumor that I am a demon concubine in the middle of the capital is about to be more punctual than the woman's menstrual affairs." ”

"I'm used to it. ”

Princess Shanshan pulled away from other topics and chatted for a while before leaving. After she left, Qin Yunyi's face sank, and Miao An didn't dare to step forward to serve after seeing it, for fear that Niangniang would ask her, but this is something that His Majesty strictly forbids to tell Niangniang.

When Qi Zongwen came, he saw that Qin Yunyi's face was wrong and asked, "Didn't you say that you called Princess Shan to come in and talk to you to relieve your boredom?

"They all hide from me, only turn me into a deaf, blind, fool, how can I be happy?"

"What did she say to you?" Qi Zongwen's face changed, and he sat down beside Qin Yunyi and said, "Don't listen to what she says, it's all boring people who will be long-tongued women again." ”

She didn't say anything. Qin Yunyi looked at him, "Your Majesty won't let me say it, who dares to tell me." ”

"Why do you have to know?" Qi Zongwen said helplessly, "It's not a happy thing. ”

"I want to know. Qin Yunyi said, "Your Majesty tell me." ”

Qi Zongwen gently throated, "Just some time ago, Concubine Li went due to an emergency, and I don't know why, it was spread outside the palace that I was executed." ”

"Was it His Majesty's execution?" Qin Yunyi asked.

Qi Zongwen looked into her eyes, was silent for a moment, and then shook his head, "It's either me, or I died of an accident." ”

Qin Yunyi's lips trembled, but in the end he didn't say anything, "Why is it rumored that His Majesty executed him?"

"Does it have anything to do with my injuries?"

"The rumors are false, don't be more true. Qi Zongwen said, "I'm going back to the palace soon, you can pack up." ”

Qi Zongwen was not good at lying to Qin Yunyi, and he fled in the wilderness.

Miao An stepped forward cautiously, "Niangniang." ”

"Can you say it now?" Qin Yunyi looked at her and said, "Your Majesty has said it first, and if you talk about it, you will not be punished for the crime of bullying the king." ”

"It's not that the slave doesn't want to tell the mother, the slave wants to inquire more clearly, and then go back and forth to the mother. Miao An said, "Niangniang knows, as long as Niangniang asks, there is nothing that slaves and maids can't say." ”

"As long as the slave and maid know. ”

"What's the rumor?" Qin Yunyi asked.

Miao An told me what was being preached now. "The slave maid also thinks it's strange, if the mother broke her leg in the mountain, it was Concubine Li who used the number of disgust in the palace, if the number of disgust is used like this, are there other means used throughout the ages?"

"Besides, the palace has always avoided this matter like a beast, if it is really Concubine Li who does something bad, His Majesty can directly deal with Concubine Li, and others will not say a word, why is it so sneaky, and he also pulled a fig leaf for Concubine Li to die of an emergency. ”

"If Concubine Li was really secretly executed by His Majesty, shouldn't he praise His Majesty for being benevolent and magnanimous, doing things by himself, and not angering the innocent. ”

"The most hateful thing is to drag Gao Meiren out and say that Gao Meiren is in poor health, and if she worships high and low in the palace, she will not be able to afford to be sick, how can she say it now, it is His Majesty who kicked it to death. ”

"Does the outside world say that Your Majesty is murdering?" Qin Yunyi asked worriedly, she knew too well what such a reputation meant to His Majesty.

"That's not true. Miao An said, she looked at Qin Yunyi cautiously and said, "They only say that Your Majesty is good in normal times, but the matter about Niangniang will change her temperament greatly, and she will be cruel and unkind, like a different person." ”

Qin Yunyi breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, "That's good." "It's not that Your Majesty is cruel and unkind, that's good.

". Miao An said, "Why do you say that they are good when they pour dirty water on you like this?"

"It must be the queen's mother again, if it weren't for her unsparing efforts to smear the reputation of the mother outside over the years, why wouldn't it be like this. Miao An said indignantly.

"If public opinion is only on me, it is really irreparable, and I, as the culprit, will die a hundred times, and Your Majesty will not be affected. Qin Yunyi said.

Miao An looked at Qin Yunyi with emotion, "Niangniang must be in love with Your Majesty, so she will be willing to die." ”

"My life is his own, what is willing or unwilling, just a peck and a drink, just pay him back. Qin Yunyi said, "This time it shouldn't be the queen's handiwork." ”

"Since the queen was reprimanded by His Majesty, she will not use such a simple and crude method again. ”

"Who else could it be?" Miao An still thought it was the queen, "In addition to her, who else in this palace has this ability and hates Niangniang." ”

Qin Yunyi fell into deep thought, yes, in this harem, who else hates her and wants to put her to death.

"When I get back, I'll call Miaoping to ask. Qin Yunyi said.

"Concubine Xian, they must have done the Dharma for Concubine Li, you go for me, let her suffer, and help me do it, no matter how she died, she is always an old man. ”

"Good. ”

Jin Zhaoyi has been avoiding the concubines, but fortunately, the concubines did not press forward step by step, so they returned to Beijing from Xishan, because it was the Mid-Autumn Festival state banquet soon, and the concubines also had to adjust their preparations.

Your Majesty has been staying at the concubine's place for a long time, and it is time to go back to the harem.

Jin Zhaoyi looked forward to the concubine serving His Majesty, and not thinking of her.

She also went to her aunt's to find out, and Concubine Li firmly believed that it was the rumors, and Concubine Li was disgusted with cursing the concubine and was secretly executed by His Majesty. "Is it really an accident for the concubine to fall off the horse?"

Jin Zhaoyi nodded, "It should be an accident, who dares to use Princess Roujia as a bait to harm the concubine?"

"Besides, Your Majesty also punished the people around the princess and the people in the stables, but only flogged, and did not ask for human life, if someone deliberately, it would not be such a result. ”

"It's just that Concubine Li dares to hate the curse?" Jin Zhaoyi said suspiciously, "She is stingy and mean, but she is also the most life-sparing, she should know that as long as this matter is found out, it will be a death." ”

"If you stay in the palace for a long time, anything will happen. Concubine Li said, "How are all the concubines in the cold palace crazy? ”

"I'm afraid that she doesn't know what to do, so she will do this bad thing for a while. ”

One single-handedly concocted the culprit of the rumors, and the other already knew that Concubine Li was framed, and the temptation of your aunt and nephew came and went, and they were close relatives, but in the end, no one ever told the truth.

The queen was wrongfully scolded, and naturally she wanted to investigate the source of this word, and she found out the queen mother's head back and forth, so that people pressed people and went to Qi Zongwen to complain in front of her, "Your Majesty really looks down on the concubines, and the concubines have only seen it in the history books, where would they think of using it on others." ”

"No matter how unbearable the concubine is, she knows that this is not a good thing, but whenever it happens, it will cause a bloody storm, how can the concubine use it?"

Qi Zongwen glanced at the gagged little palace maid and made a look, and Han Xing led the people down, "I know that you didn't do it. ”

"But it is because you are not strict in managing the palace that you have the opportunity for such a person to make waves and spread the news from the palace to the outside of the palace. ”

"Now it's just a message, and when you are bold, you will bring people to the palace. ”

Queen's Silence.

"You are the master of the harem, can you pat your chest and promise me that this harem is under your control?" Qi Zongwen looked at her.

The queen opened her mouth and closed it again, she didn't dare to guarantee it. When she entered the palace, she and the Queen Mother had a good honey blend, and the things in the harem were also started with the help of the Queen Mother, how did she know if the Queen Mother had placed her hands in it?

"You can figure it out for yourself, and everyone who is not sure will be replaced. Qi Zongwen said, "Otherwise, something happens in the harem, and I am still looking for you." ”

The queen rubbed her wrist beads on the chariot back to the palace, and when she returned to the palace, she also called Cui Mama and Chunzhi to comb the people's hands, and they should be changed.

"Make sure you are loyal to this palace. ”

"But mother. Cui Mama said embarrassedly, "Now the people of Ronghua Palace are staying in the inner division, and it is easy to replace them now, and then replace them, don't you know if she is a loyal mother or a loyal concubine?"

The queen also thought of this, "What should I do then?" Then His Majesty is still urging her to be replaced, is it trying to support the power of the concubine?

"If you want the slave to say, don't change our current people, no matter who is behind him, at least on the surface, he is still loyal to his mother. Cui Mama said, "Niangniang took a small palace maid from Yushou Palace, which is also a deterrent, and no one will have the courage to dare to hide from Niangniang in the future." ”

"Let's do it for now. The queen said, "You two must also hurry up and train your cronies, and you still have to change them in the future, otherwise the risk will be too great." ”

"It's all true?" Qin Yunyi said in a daze, everyone is spreading such and such words, in fact, they may not believe it, many of them are still suspicious, even she really only thinks it is a fabricated rumor, but Miao Ping said that it is all true.

"At first, it was Concubine Li's palace maid Nian Xia who found me, saying that she occasionally saw a note with the name of the mother stuffed in the soles of Concubine Li's shoes, and she was too scared, so she came to ask me what to do?"

"I informed Zhong Cheng of this, and then Zhong Cheng went to Xishan to return to His Majesty, and that night, His Majesty returned to the palace. ”

"Your Majesty actually returned to the palace?" Qin Yunyi thought back to that day, she slept early, but Her Majesty was still by her side when she slept, and His Majesty was also there in the morning, "Didn't you ask someone to deal with it, didn't Your Majesty personally deal with it?"

Miao Ping nodded, "Your Majesty has found out all of them, it was Concubine Li's mother who entered the palace and said about this disgusting technique, and then Concubine Li suddenly didn't let the palace maid serve and wear shoes, they all made it themselves, and that note was also stepped on under the feet for a lot of genius, Your Majesty felt that the evidence was conclusive, and ordered someone to drink a cup of poisonous wine, which killed Concubine Li." ”

Qin Yunyi shook his head, "Concubine Li is not someone who dares to do such a thing. ”

"She's just unforgiving, but in fact, she's as bold as a sesame mung bean, I don't believe she would use such a stupid method. ”

"Your Majesty obviously believes it, it is because Concubine Li is tired of cursing Niangniang that Niangniang will lose her luck and encounter such a disaster as falling from a horse. Miao Ping said, "This matter has a beginning and an end, except for Concubine Li, who else can predict the prophet and make such a careful calculation." ”

"If the aversion technique is useful, there is still any deep hatred in this world, just curse to death. Qin Yunyi said, "I have to think about it, it's not that simple." ”

"Did Nian Xia follow Concubine Li from the palace into the palace, or was she sent by the Inner Division later?" Qin Yunyi asked, the key person here is Nian Xia, and it is a capital crime for the servant to report the master, why did she do this?

"It's the person who waited in front of Concubine Li as soon as she entered the palace. Miao Ping said, "She didn't have the courage to report, nor did she have the courage to persuade Concubine Li, so she came to me, and she was looking for the little sister to complain." ”

"Whether you are now the person of the inner division, or you are still in the Ronghua Palace, as the person around her who is the object of her master's spell, no matter which little sister she is looking for, she should not be looking for you. Qin Yunyi said, "Where is she now?"

She went to the imperial tomb to send a spirit to Concubine Li, she was also past the age of leaving the palace, and when she burned enough paper in the imperial tomb, she went home directly. Myohei said.

In a small tomb in the imperial mausoleum, Nian Xia was kneeling and burning paper with filial piety, and his eyes were numb in the smoke, "Don't blame me." ”

"If you allow me to leave the palace early, you won't have such a disaster. ”

"You are a concubine, I am a palace maid, you are noble, I am lowly, this is all fate, I admit it, but the mother, the palace maid is also a person, and I also have hatred in my heart, I have served you for more than ten years, there is no merit and hard work, if you are gentle with me, I will not be ruthless to do such a thing. ”

"I want to live well, too. ”
