Chapter 56: About Concubine Zhen
The room was a little dimly lit, the candles were not lit, and it was getting late. The pen and the www.biquge.info jade finger untied the note tied to the stone, and looked at the stone, the stone was dark green throughout, the surface was rough and concave, not like jade jade, except for the strange color, it was an ordinary stone, I didn't care much, and put the stone into my arms. His eyes fell on the note, unfolding it little by little......
"If you want to find the truth, go to Fengxian Tower" a few strong and powerful characters came into view, at a glance it was clearly from the man's handwriting, looking at these words, I frowned, who is the sender, what is the truth here? Is it related to the poisoning? What is the purpose of the news he told me? Whether the news is reliable or not is unknown, maybe it is a trap.
The doubts in my heart suddenly magnified, and the events of the past few days happened one after another, which caught me off guard. Now that the clues are all broken, Concubine Zhen has made such a fuss, I am even more passive, no matter what, this Fengxian Tower is only afraid that I am going to go on a trip, whether the news is true or not, I can only gamble. As soon as my eyes sank, I put the note into my sleeve, and the sound of rain came from my ears, knocking on the eaves of the green tiles, ticking, worrying my eyebrows and eyes, and messing with my heartstrings.
Suertuo entered the house with a pot of freshly brewed tea and two or three pastries, turned around and closed the door tightly, and complained in her mouth: "This rain is really, it has been raining for a few days, and it finally got a sunny day, and it will start to fall again after a while, which is really annoying!"
I saw that she had an annoyed face, and her eyebrows were almost together, and I was amused by her appearance, and laughed out loud, "Su'er, what are you talking about? Who provoked you?"
Su'er put down the tray, picked up the teacup and poured a cup of tea, while saying: "Princess, Su'er said that this rain is endless! It's annoying endlessly, and I just saw a sunny day today, and I don't want to ...... again."
Su'er handed me the tea and took the pastry, still looking sullen.
"If it loves it, why are you making such a bitter face! You are here to worry about both eyebrows, can it not be down?" I took a sip of tea, and it was refreshing and sweet, not bad. Reaching out and knocking on Su'er's head, the little girl grinned, "How ugly an eyebrow is!
I also laughed and laughed, but my heart was gloomy, I used to be like this, happy and angry. You will be depressed and sad because of the rain, and you will be happy because of a sunny day. will be annoyed by the tears of your favorite clothes, and you will also smile because of a string of sugar gourds brought back from the palace. It's just that now, all the things in the past can't go back!
When I came back to my senses, I put down the teacup in my hand, and when I raised my eyes, I didn't know when I lit the lamp, and the candle flame flickered happily in front of me, leaking a room of darkness.
I summoned her to sit down next to me, I had something to ask her.
"Su'er, do you know which minister in the court is Concubine Zhen's mother's family?"
Su'er was stunned for a moment, twisted her sleeves with her hands a little weakly, and then asked, "Princess, why do you ask this?"
I saw that there was something wrong with Su'er's expression, and said in a deep voice: "You answer me truthfully, no need to ask!"
Hearing this, Su'er lowered her head in embarrassment, didn't dare to look at me, and didn't say a word for a long time.
I stared straight at her, not in a hurry, just patiently waiting.
Su'er was a little weak-hearted by me, and asked weakly after a while: "Princess, Su'er said that you can't tell the emperor that I told you?"
I nodded heavily, "I promise not to say it, only you and I know about it." ”
When Su'er heard this, she carefully glanced around, and said in a low voice, for fear of being listened to by others, "Concubine Zhen's mother's family is the Zhenguo Mansion, that is, the granddaughter of the patriarch of the Three Dynasties and the old prime minister. After the resignation of the old prime minister, the emperor read his life and did his best for the country, made countless military exploits, and assisted the emperors of the three dynasties, so he ordered the title of the prince of Zhenguo. ”
I listened, and most of the speculation about Concubine Zhen just now became clear, it turned out that Concubine Zhen was the granddaughter of Prime Minister Yu Lao, the current Zhenguo Gong, no wonder she was so arrogant that even the queen had to give her three points. It turns out that there is a big backer behind him, and the prestige of Zhenguo Gong is unknown in Fengchi Country, and when he held the military power in the past, he was even more crazy for a while, and he can be said to be able to cover the sky with one hand in Fengchi, no wonder Concubine Zhen is so bold.
So most of the poisoned palace maid Liu Er was instructed by Concubine Zhen, and it was not difficult for the maid who came out of the Zhenguo Mansion to be placed in the harem by Concubine Zhen. Moreover, with the ability and temperament of Zhen Guogong, it is not impossible to summon all the doctors of the Tai Hospital for diagnosis and treatment overnight, and only he has the ability to do it in the Manchu Dynasty. This is the same as Concubine Zhen and the outside of the palace to put me to death, it's just the grievance of this harem woman, why would he be so bold and arrogant, no matter how much he loves his granddaughter, he will not risk offending the emperor for this matter.
Moreover, I remember that before I married Longquan, I had not heard of the prime minister and such a granddaughter as Concubine Zhen, and I was very puzzled, thinking about what Su'er should know about serving in the palace of Concubine Zhen in the past few years, so I asked: "Su'er, why have I never heard that this old prime minister has such a granddaughter before?"
I saw Su'er smile, and her eyes were bent into crescents. Su'er's reaction made me stunned a little incomprehensibly.
"Princess, you forgot, when you were young, you had a big fight with Yu Zhen'er, who was two days younger than you, and you still cried and went to the emperor to sue the emperor!" said Su'er and laughed while covering her mouth.
When I said this, I thought about it, there is indeed such a thing, that year was my seventh birthday, my father held a banquet in the Xuanfeng Palace at that time, and the ministers were all there, and it was very lively, and I was also named the first princess on the day of my birthday.
At that time, it was the season of heavy snow, the weather was extremely cold, the wind was howling, the heavy snow flying in the sky was white and white, and the branches were frozen, which was very beautiful. The mother who took care of me was busy helping me dress up in the morning, and the queen mother sent me a dress made by herself, wearing a pink embroidered acacia jacket on the upper body and a woven flower skirt with moon white gold silk trim on the lower body. The queen mother smiled in her eyes, she said: "The acacia flower is a flower that symbolizes the harmony of husband and wife, I hope that my Xue'er will not enter the imperial family in this life, marry an ordinary family, and be a happy woman." ”
I didn't understand what the queen mother meant at that time, but in this life, I went against my mother's wishes, or entered the emperor's family, and ended up with joys and sorrows, tears of relatives, and parting from death.
That day, I was bored in the house, I sneaked out of the palace with Su'er and went to the imperial garden, the snow was slippery and difficult, but I was happy all the way, frolicking with great interest, Su'er shouted anxiously on the side: "Princess, let's go back!" Princess, slow down, the queen mother and Mama said to pay attention to the princess's demeanor......
I ran, but I bumped into someone. She and I fell to the cold ground at the same time, and I bared my teeth in pain and shouted at the visitor, "Who doesn't have long eyes, and dares to hit this princess?"
When I looked closely, it was a girl as old as me, and I don't know which lady came to the banquet, and her temper was actually bigger than mine, and the two of them quarreled and fought. I was born thinner since I was a child, half a head shorter than her, and I suffered a loss, crying and complaining to my father, and she was punished for it. I only remember that during the quarrel, she said her name was Yu Zhen'er.
