Chapter 221: Bear the Burden of Humiliation
I felt a hot wave on my neck and chest, which was so spicy that my skin was tingling, Concubine Hui's eyebrows suddenly frowned, and she raised her hand to cover her clothes, and her originally peaceful and calm face was full of painful forbearance. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Gao Heng knew that Empress Zhao failed to do so this time, and she must have a grudge against Concubine Hui in her heart, and she was unwilling to let her mother go to Zhenghe Palace to visit the patient, but Concubine Hui had a cautious personality and liked to do everything herself, so she insisted on going.
It's just that I didn't expect that although I was ready to be blamed by Queen Zhao, I still couldn't prevent it.
And Empress Zhao also saw that Concubine Hui's clothes were thick in winter, so she deliberately splashed on her neck-baring clothes, so as to hurt her skin and teach her a little lesson, so as not to let this cup of tea fall in vain.
"Sister Huifei, are you okay?"
Seeing that Concubine Hui suddenly suffered such an accident, Concubine Yi hurriedly took out a handkerchief to wipe Concubine Hui's clothes, seeing that her face was pale in pain, her teeth were locked, and then she looked at Queen Zhao's smug expression of successful tricks.
It's just that she was just about to fight for Concubine Hui, but she heard Queen Zhao scream with displeasure: "Tut, Concubine Hui, you used to serve your master and serve tea and water to your master, but now you are too old to use it? You can't even serve a cup of tea, and you deserve it." ”
Empress Zhao saw that the futon wet with tea had been wiped clean, so she leaned her head back on the soft pillow behind her, and raised her eyebrows lightly.
"But I want to come to Concubine Hui, you are from a humble background, and the bones of this body are not so expensive, unlike the scratches and fingers in this palace, you have to raise them for ten days and a half months before this wound can heal. You go outside and blow the wind in a while, and the heat will dissipate. ”
"The concubine saw that the queen was in good spirits, and she was so eloquent, it didn't look like she had been poisoned......"
"Sister Yifei, this matter is indeed not good for me. Concubine Hui said and then faced the queen and pleaded, "It's all because the concubine is not safe enough, which frightened the queen, and asks the mother to forgive her sins." ”
Concubine Hui is actually not a cowardly and cowardly, obedient person, but she knows that she is not more noble than other concubines, has a prominent family background, and has no backing behind her, which has caused Gao Heng to suffer with her since she was a child, and even has to be sent to other countries as hostages.
Because of this, she has endured and accommodated Queen Zhao's provocations and embarrassments in the harem over the years, in addition to not liking fighting and liking a quiet personality, but also for Gao Heng's thoughtfulness.
At this time, she was afraid that Concubine Yi's quick mouth would make Empress Zhao notice, so she endured the pain of being eroded by boiling water on her body and interrupted.
And Concubine Yi's short sentence made a strange look inadvertently flash in the eyes of the intuitive Empress Zhao.
But on the surface, he still said unhurriedly: "It's still Concubine Hui who understands the rules, and she admits it when she knows it's wrong." Concubine Yi, you are also an old man in the palace, why are you always straight to the point of speaking, there is really no rule. It's no wonder that having a son is just as ignorant as you, heartless, and likes to shake his head and tail behind other people's butts all day long, and he doesn't have any interest when he's so old, don't you feel ashamed when you see it?"
"You ......"
Concubine Yi's patience has never been good, and now that she heard the queen speak so badly, even Gao Xun was scolded by her, and she just wanted to speak against her, but she saw Concubine Hui respectfully said: "Since the queen is in poor health, the concubine will not bother, so I will retire first, and ask the mother to take care of the phoenix." ”
Concubine Hui pulled Concubine Yi's sleeve with her hand, which made Concubine Yi reluctantly endure a sigh of relief and salute Queen Zhao together.
Empress Zhao didn't want to let the two of them go so easily, and wanted to put a few more dark arrows, but she suddenly heard what Concubine Yi said just now, and she was apprehensive, so she was not interested in dealing with these two again.
As soon as Concubine Hui and Concubine Yi walked away, she thought for a moment, then summoned her personal maid Ling Shuang, and said with a stern expression: "You go and ask Imperial Doctor Zhang to come to Zhenghe Palace quickly, and say that the palace has something important to look for him." ”
………………
As soon as she walked out of the inner hall and came to the courtyard of Zhenghe Palace, Concubine Yi, who had been depressed for a long time, immediately lowered her face, turned around and glared at the door, couldn't wait to lower her voice, and approached Concubine Hui to complain.
"This Empress Zhao, we haven't given us a good face since we entered the palace all these years, obviously she is despicable and framed others behind her back to poison her, but she is as if she has been wronged. You see that she was full of spirit and yin and yang when she scolded people just now, it would be strange if she was really poisoned. Fortunately, Heng'er's friend told us such a key clue, otherwise the grievances between my sister and Jin Zhi would be really difficult to clear. ”
"Yes, it's just that it's hard for that kid of Jin Zhi to suffer such grievances for me and Heng'er, I really don't want to ......"
Seeing that Concubine Hui sighed and showed sadness, Concubine Yi was afraid that she would feel ashamed, so she hurriedly restrained her demeanor and said: By the way, sister, let's go back to the palace quickly and inform Heng'er of this matter, and let him report to His Majesty, see how this queen can speak skillfully when the time comes? Also, if this burn is not treated in time, it will leave a scar, so you have to quickly find a royal doctor to take a look and apply some Jinchuang ointment. ”
"I'm fine, it's just a little skin injury, but I bothered my sister to accompany me on this trip, and as a result, you and I were humiliated. ”
Concubine Hui pursed the corners of her lips, raised her hand with some guilt and covered the back of Concubine Yi's hand, and looked around, but her eyes stopped at a pot of transplanted longevity flower bonsai in front of her.
Unlike other bonsai, this pot of longevity flowers not only blooms as much as other similar flowers, but also has a large group of ants in the dark where the rhizomes sink into the soil.
But the strange thing is that this group of ants only dares to move on the edge of the bonsai, and does not dare to approach the middle, as if they are deliberately trying to avoid something.
Concubine Hui was clever, and at a glance, she knew that there was something strange in this, and when she thought of Queen Zhao's quick scheming, she felt unsteady in her heart. When he saw that no one was moving around, he walked up to this pot of longevity flowers and wanted to find out.
"Sister, what's wrong?"
Seeing that Concubine Hui did not return to the palace, Concubine Yi focused her attention on a potted plant, so she also stepped forward.
When they got closer, they couldn't help but wonder and said, "Ouch, these ants are so interesting, why is this strange formation? Could it be that there are still some treasures hidden in this soil?"
"I don't know, but if I'm not mistaken, there must be something else here. ”
Concubine Hui said and looked around vigilantly, and then took a butterfly hairpin from her hair bun and inserted it into the soil, wanting to cut some of the soil and see what kind of strangeness was hidden in it?
