Chapter 034: What the Intention Is
"Your Majesty, you are here! Hurry up and see the princess, princess she..."When he came to Fanshui Palace and entered the inner hall, Dongfang Ke had not yet approached Dongfang Rong's bedroom, and the sharp-eyed Concubine Rongrong Lan hurriedly greeted him. Hearing her words, Dongfang Ke held her shoulder, "What's wrong with Rong'er?" ”
"She... Princess, she..."Concubine Rong originally rushed up to talk to Dongfang Ke first, but at this time, Dongfang Ke's face was terrifying, and she forgot what to say for a while. Seeing her stumbling for a long time, Dongfang Ke snorted coldly and let go of her shoulders, walked past her and walked straight to the door.
"Concubine Rong, you're too anxious!" When Dongfang Ke walked away, Concubine Xiao Mengyao, who was wearing a concubine red flowing color dark flower Yunjin palace costume, sneered, her face was full of mockery. Concubine Rong glanced at her with a gloomy face, "Concubine Xiao is very idle, there are so many people, just staring at my sister." ”
"Hehe," Concubine Xiao chuckled, "What did my sister say, my sister didn't care about my sister, why did she make my sister unhappy?" Oh, my sister is really scared, because yes, people who make my sister unhappy will not end well. ”
"Concubine Xiao, what do you mean?" Concubine Rong's face changed abruptly, and she looked at Xiao Mengyao suddenly, and there was a smile on the corner of Xiao Mengyao's lips that seemed to be insightful, "What my sister did, my sister knows it in her heart, and my sister won't say much." However, my sister wants to remind Sister Rong that Princess Rong is a close relative of the royal family, even if my sister wants to do something to others, she has to take care of our princess. If the eldest princess has three longs and two shorts, do you think the emperor will let you go? I'm afraid that even if you adopt the eldest prince for many years, you won't be able to resist it. Sister, you are so self-conscious, my sister went to see the princess, so I won't accompany you. ”
After saying these words, Concubine Xiao entered the hall without looking back. Seeing her back disappear, the handkerchief in Concubine Rong's hand tightened. I can't imagine that this slut dares to teach himself a lesson, but relying on the fact that he is the queen mother's niece, he can be lawless in the palace? I don't want to think about how long I've only been in the palace! In any case, she is the mother concubine who raised the eldest prince, and her noble status cannot be shaken by anyone!
Thinking of this, Concubine Rong's eyes became smug again. He Zhaorong, who had been looking over here for a while from a distance, hurriedly stepped forward when he saw this, "Concubine Rong, let's go in quickly." The Queen Mother and the Emperor are inside, if we don't go again, we may be tongue-in-cheek. ”
What does this woman mean by sticking it at this time? She wants to gather a few main forces, but she doesn't want a helper like a wall, they all say that biting dogs don't bark, but it is appropriate to describe He Zhaorong. Thinking like this, Concubine Rong responded without being salty: "Then let's go." ”
In the Fanshui Palace, Dongfang Ke and Zheng sat on the soft couch together waiting for the diagnosis of the imperial doctor, and after about two quarters of an hour, the imperial doctor Zhao Rongyan hurriedly came out of the cabinet, and saw Dongfang Ke here, and hurriedly bowed and saluted: "The old minister sees the emperor." ”
"Excuse me, Imperial Doctor Zhao, how is the eldest princess?"
"Back to the emperor, the princess is fine, just wait for the ministers to open a few more recipes to decoction." Seeing that the person was fine, Dongfang Ke's cold face eased a little: "Then did Imperial Doctor Zhao diagnose what caused Rong'er to be like this?" ”
"Back to the emperor...""Ke'er-"
Empress Dowager Zheng suddenly interrupted Zhao Rongyan, "Imperial Doctor Zhao has already said that the poisoning is due to a problem with eating. At night, she just ate the pastries sent by Yin Chongyuan, and after an hour, she began to vomit and diarrhea, and her limbs were cold, which frightened the palace people. This Yin Chongyuan is really bold, she dares to murder the eldest princess, the mourning family must punish her, your majesty, what do you want? ”
Imperial Physician Zhao was robbed of the Queen Mother's words, and only lowered his head and did not say a word. Dongfang Ke's gaze slowly swept over, and Zhao Rongyan seemed to feel it, and his body trembled violently. Closing his gaze, Dongfang Ke said unhurriedly: "It's too early to draw conclusions about this matter, the Queen Mother's concern for Rong'er can be understood, but it must be Yin Chongyuan who sent pastries to murder the princess, this has yet to be verified." The Queen Mother should not forget that Yin Chongyuan sacrificed herself to save Rong'er in the racecourse, if she wanted to murder Rong'er, why did she have to work hard to save her in the first place? ”
This may also be a trick of the Yin family, first using bitter tricks to deceive the eldest princess into trusting her, and now it is not good for the eldest princess to do it, so that everyone will think that she cannot be the murderer of the princess. Your Majesty, you can't be fooled by her! ”
"Don't worry, the Queen Mother, I have my own measure." Dongfang Ke got up, paced two steps in the open space and turned around, "This matter still needs to be verified before making a decision." If it was really done by the Yin family, I would not be spared. Now the facts are not clear, please let the Queen Mother be calm. ”
Zheng's bitter words, Dongfang Ke was still unmoved, the two of them were secretly twisted, and the people present were silent, for fear that one would accidentally make a strange noise and become cannon fodder for the two of them.
Li Dezhao, who was waiting on the side, was uncomfortable, in Chonghua Palace, he obviously heard Yin Chongyuan admit it in person outside the door, but when he got here, the emperor didn't mention anything about it, and he had to defend Yin Chongyuan, it was really unbelievable, but he really saw it, and it made him feel expected. Somehow, he felt that the emperor would not let Yin Chongyuan admit this crime like this.
No one knew what Li Dezhao thought, and the atmosphere was tense, even if he was stunned, no one noticed it. The Empress Dowager Zheng's face was a little depressed, she didn't expect that the evidence was in front of her, the emperor actually wanted to defend that woman, and what conclusions did she say that it was too early to verify? In that case, don't blame her for being ruthless! Yin's family, if you want to blame your bad life, who do you have a bad heart, but you want to hook Ke'er, the mourning family has been with him for more than ten years, how can you be allowed to take the place of the mourning family in the emperor's heart?
Zheng's heart was turbulent, and her face was not revealed, she picked up the blue and white porcelain cup on the side table, she took a sip of tea and handed the teacup to Yingqiu beside her. "This tea is a little cold, Yingqiu, go see which palace maid prepared it, and let her change the hot tea again."
"Yes." Yingqiu took it and retreated respectfully.
Out of the hall door, she casually gave the teacup to a palace person, and then went straight to the small door in the back garden of Fanshui Palace. Zheng's words were a code word, she had already given orders, Yingqiu was now going to do things according to Zheng's orders, holding the waist card given by Zheng, she quickly went out of the palace smoothly, and ordered the coachman to go to Lin'an Li Zong's mansion gate, and the carriage quickly disappeared into the wide street.
Seeing that the Zheng family could not persuade Dongfang Ke to convict Ruan Liuyan, they sat with Dongfang Ke for a while in the Fanshui Palace and left, and the other concubines had been sent back by Dongfang Ke before the Zheng family left.
There was no one around, Li Dezhao spoke cautiously, "Your Majesty, I heard that the prison is wet and cold, and there are rats and reptiles, and ordinary women can't stay in it overnight, Yin Chongyuan she..."
"Li, De, Zhao-"
Hearing Dongfang Ke's protracted cold reprimand, Li Dezhao knelt down with a "poof", fell to the ground, and he kowtowed again and again to beg for mercy: "The slave knows that he is wrong, the slave will not dare anymore, the emperor will punish the slave..."
"You get up," the expected punishment did not come, and Li Dezhao stood up tremblingly, and did not dare to reveal the doubts in his heart. Dongfang Ke slowly stroked the palm of his thumb jade wrench and stopped: "Remember to me, you are not allowed to use the three words 'Yin Chongyuan' on the premise of me in the future, remember?" ”
"The minions remembered, remembered, remembered!" Li Dezhao responded again and again, and listened to Dongfang Ke's instructions again, "You go back to the palace to get some gold sore medicine." "Take the medicine? Hearing these two words, Li Dezhao was stunned, thinking that the emperor had to use medicine if he was injured, and he hadn't seen anything wrong with the emperor before. But after thinking about it, isn't the emperor already fulfilling his wish, I heard that women do that and like to scratch men's backs, and the emperor's back is injured?
Dongfang Ke saw Li Dezhao's eyes drithing around, and finally the look was sympathetic and ambiguous, and he couldn't help frowning slightly, but before he could speak, Li Dezhao should have run away, listening to the voice with a hint of joy. Dongfang Ke didn't have the heart to guess Li Dezhao's thoughts, Zhao Rongyan said that Dongfang Rong'er would wake up at dawn, and he had to say a few words to her before the morning court.
At this time, Ruan Liuyan in Jingzhao Prison was already a little dazed, last night she threw herself on the guardrail to call people, but no one answered her, but a group of prisoners in the same prison laughed at her, they said that if you enter here, don't think about being able to go out, that is completely a fool's dream. But these words can't hit Ruan Liuyan, and she won't let herself carry the black pot for others in vain, now she is waiting, and she is also betting that the Yin family will not give up her chess piece so soon, after all, she is still useful.
There was the sound of footsteps.
Ruan Liuyan suddenly opened his closed eyes and looked in the direction of the cell door. Sure enough, after a while, a chubby man in a blue robe with a black mole on the upper lip of his mouth showed his face first, followed by a few of his subordinates, and the guards on the side were respectfully guiding the way.
"Open this cell door to the officer." Glancing at Ruan Liuyan, the slightly chubby man ordered the guards. The guards immediately unlocked the lock, and the sound of the chains being pulled was piercing.
Ruan Liuyan stood up against the wall, her face was pale, and her lips were already a little dry and upturned because of the lack of water. The comer was not good, her eyes swept over the people one by one, and she kept the faces of these people firmly in her heart, she said coldly: "Who are you?" ”
