29. The death of Green Incense
After Emperor Mingjing sat down, the Queen Mother said, "The emperor came just in time, and the mourning family is about to interrogate this cheap maid!" ”
Emperor Ming Jing was a little puzzled, he didn't know who Lu Xiang was.
Seeing this, Concubine Zhen hurriedly explained to him, and Emperor Ming Jing knew that Lu Xiang was the key person in this matter.
Xia Ling is dead, and the people who have been in contact with her are naturally untestable, but only in the hands of Xia Ling's fellow villager Lu Xiang saw a golden hairpin that did not belong to her.
Lu Xiang may be the person who secretly instructed Xia Ling, or it may be Xia Ling's accomplice, or it may be that Xia Ling got the golden hairpin and wanted Lu Xiang to take her out of the palace by the way and do her filial piety for her family.
The palace people also have a rotation holiday, every time they take a turn to rest, the side door will open a small door, specially for the palace maids and eunuchs to visit relatives, naturally, these palace people will bring something out, have their own monthly salary, and the occasional reward of the masters.
Concubine Zhen caught Lu Xiang and was piggybacking on the golden hairpin.
If it is a moment late, this hairpin goes out first-class, then there is really no clue.
Emperor Ming Jing actually didn't care much about the queen's miscarriage.
This kind of harem inprivacy is, in his opinion, a small fight between women.
The queen is not bad now, although it is a miscarriage, but the mother and son are safe.
The culprit of this matter is none other than the concubines in the harem. However, none of the people in the harem have clean hands, as long as it is not excessive, Emperor Ming Jing will not take care of it much.
Although she promised the Queen Mother that she wanted to investigate, she actually just ordered it to go down and didn't pay much attention to it.
"Where did you get this hairpin?" Emperor Ming Jing looked at the kneeling green incense in the hall and asked, and smashed it on her with a momentum that was not angry but mighty.
He noticed that the palace maid was pale and weak, as if she had been tortured. However, he didn't care, even if this kind of palace maid died, he wouldn't care, let alone just torture.
But I didn't want to, the green fragrance suddenly burst out, as if she had used all her strength, and while slamming into the pillar on the side, she shouted in a hoarse voice: "Little Lord Wanyi! The slave has done what you commanded, and I hope to take care of the slave's mother! ”
The voice is full of despair!
The palace people didn't react, so they watched in a daze as she hit the pillar!
Wanyi little master!
How many little masters are there in this palace?
There is only one Ning Wanyi of Zhong Cui Palace!
Now Ning Wanyi, who has the imperial heir in her belly!
Concubine Zhen was stunned, what kind of situation is this?
Got involved with Ning Wanyi?
Immediately, seeing that the emperor and the queen mother did not react, he said, "Let's see if this cheap maid still has breath?" ”
Lu Xiang fell beside the pillar, his forehead was already covered with blood, and he must have used all his strength.
The people of the first palace probed under Lu Xiang's nose with trembling hands, their faces changed, and they saw the corners of Lu Xiang's oblique mouth, rolling out a piece of flesh and blood. swallowed his saliva, his lips moved, he lowered his head again, walked over respectfully, knelt down and said, "Hui Zhen Concubine Niangniang, Lu Xiang is dead." ”
He's dead?
"Lu Xiang is dead because her head hit the pillar, plus she bit her tongue and bit her tongue to kill herself!"
Before the concubine could react, she listened to the queen, "Since Luxiang is dead!" So what did she mean by what she said before she died? ”
It seems to be asking casually, but everyone knows who she's pointing the finger at.
Ning Wanyi had no choice but to walk out with her stomach in her hands, knelt on the ground with difficulty, her face was pale, and said, "The concubine doesn't know who Lu Xiang is. ”
Now that she is in the palace, she is also smooth, and she is pregnant, so she is naturally the object of jealousy of the palace concubine, but she didn't expect that this day would come so quickly.
Ning Wanyi has been able to prosper for a long time since she entered the palace, although she can't be separated from the temperament of the queen of Yuan, but she is an extremely beautiful woman herself, not the type that makes people amazing at a glance, but a beauty with more charm the more she looks at it.
Now she seems to have been wronged, with a pitiful sadness on her face, her brows are lightly locked, and she is indescribably pitiful and cute.
Emperor Ming Jing looked at His Royal Highness Ning Wanyi, his eyes full of suspicion.
He had never realized at this moment that Pei Yunruo and Su Zhixian were two completely different people.
If it was his grace, if he was wronged, he would definitely investigate to the end with a stubborn face, instead of looking at him like this with a pitiful look on his face.
Men, although sometimes because of your pity will arouse machismo and pity.
However, they have always loved only capable and proud women.
Because men are born with the psychology of conquest, conquering a proud woman sometimes makes them happier than having a successful career.
This is also one of the reasons why King Zhou You is willing to play the princes with the beacon fire, because Bao Xi is such a proud woman. King Zhou You is also willing to be the princes of Bao Xiju!
Sometimes Chu Chu is pitiful and may not be able to get what she wants, just like Ning Wanyi now, she doesn't know that just because of her expression, Emperor Ming Jing's image of her has been lowered.
Chu Chu is pitiful Bunsheng is a big weapon for women, if you use it well, it will make a man's good impression of you turn into love, and if you don't use it well, you can only use it like Pei Yunruo.
Emperor Mingjing didn't call out, the Queen Mother couldn't see it, and said, "Get up, sit down, you are still pregnant with the imperial heir, you don't need to be polite." ”
The palace people immediately moved a soft embroidered pier and put it in front of Ning Wanyi.
"Thank you, Empress Dowager." Pei Yunruo seemed to be frightened, and his voice was timid.
The queen couldn't get used to the disgusting appearance of these harem concubines in order to compete for favor, pouted, covered her stomach, and said with a melancholy expression, "Ning Wanyi is pregnant with a child now, she should be well cared for, and when the poor concubine was pregnant with the imperial heir, although she was careful again and again, she still fell into the way." ”
Su Zhiwan felt that the queen was also a master of acting, and looking at her like that, it was really like that.
"The concubine doesn't know who Lu Xiang is." Ning Wanyi still hung on her pitiful appearance, and said timidly, but she still kept repeating a sentence.
The queen choked, stopped going around in circles, and said angrily, "Then Ning Wanyi can explain what Lu Xiang meant before she committed suicide?" Also, Luxiang asks you to take care of her mother......" she said, fiddling with the kodan on her nails, and said, "Luxiang's mother is in your hands?" ”
Without waiting for Ning Wanyi to speak, the queen directly got up and knelt on the ground, and asked Emperor Mingjing to say, "Your Majesty, the concubine thinks that you should immediately find out whether Ning Wanyi's subordinates have any old women who have been accused!" ”
The queen is a bitter master, and she should be so eager.
Emperor Ming Jing personally helped the queen up and said, "What the queen said is true." As she spoke, she looked at Pei Yunruo, "What else does Ning Wanyi have to say?" ”
It seems that the tone is plain, without the slightest anger, but to say less, Pei Yunruo is also a woman who has been by Emperor Mingjing's side for several months, and she understands that the emperor is suspicious of her.
She is not Su Zhixian, and she will not really get the emperor's love and trust.
There are so many similar people in the world, he is the emperor, no matter how you say it, you can find one or two, and she Pei Yunruo is just the first one to appear.
The first time Pei Yunruo was treated like this by Emperor Mingjing, it was because of another woman. was a little aggrieved for a while, and he didn't argue for himself, but just opened his misty eyes and stubbornly repeated the sentence, "The concubine doesn't know who Lu Xiang is." ”
This was all taught to her by the Queen Mother.
Emperor Ming Jing prefers stubborn beauties.
Pei Yunruo is unwilling to copy Su Zhixian's stubbornness, she doesn't want to be the shadow of the Empress Yuan.
Sure enough, Emperor Ming Jing was amused by her playful answer, and said, "Ning Wanyi is grounded in Zhongcui Palace, waiting for the fate, and when it is found to be true, she will naturally have an explanation!" ”
In the final analysis, he still had doubts about Ning Wanyi, after all, the human and material evidence was there, and it was to be found to be true, and Pei Yun couldn't deny it if he wanted to.
The queen thought that Pei Yunruo would plant a big heel this time, but she didn't expect the emperor to let it go like this. I was a little angry in my heart, but I thought that Emperor Ming Jing would always go to check on Luxiang's family, and Pei Yunruo would have to confess sooner or later!
Su Zhiwan thought that there would be a big trouble waiting for her, but she didn't expect that she just talked a few words, and in the end, there was nothing to do with her, the concubine.
Thinking of the queen relieving her, Su Zhiwan was a little helpless.
is courteous to those who have harmed her, if the queen knows the truth, will she vomit blood in anger?
You know, the dream in the queen's body was ordered by her.
A group of people went home, and Su Zhiwan could still go to sleep.
Next time, I will definitely not drink with Li Chengze, let him drink alone!
As soon as Emperor Ming Jing returned to the Qianqing Palace, he asked the secret guard to present the cause and effect of this incident.
In the past, Emperor Ming Jing didn't care, but now that he is involved with Ning Wanyi, who is pregnant with the emperor's heir, he still has to ask a thing or two.
The efficiency of the secret guard is actually very fast, but the Queen Mother has been letting people suppress the news, just waiting for Emperor Mingjing to take the initiative to let people present it.
Sometimes, active and passive give people exactly the same image.
At night, the Qianqing Palace was brightly lit.
Huang Shun didn't know what was written on the thin pieces of paper, but he only knew that the emperor's face was blue after reading those papers, and the storm in his eyes made people shudder. He couldn't help but bend down again, lowered his head, and respectfully waited for Emperor Mingjing's orders.
"Huang Shun, go to Chengqian Palace and bring the four princes over." Emperor Ming Jing said lightly, and threw it away, and those few pieces of paper full of words were instantly swallowed by the fire, turned into light smoke, and disappeared under the lampshade.
"Yes." Huang Shun respectfully withdrew.
After a while, he brought a nurse holding the baby and entered the Qianqing Palace.
Thinking of the queen's smile when he asked him to take away the four princes, Huang Shun dared to take Xiang Shang's head and promise that the queen mother would soon be unable to laugh.
Emperor Ming Jing actually didn't like this four princes very much. It looks crooked, and it's hard to say whether he can live past his first birthday. Since it is possible to die, too much affection will only make him sad.
Emperors are selfish, so he doesn't like to touch the sick baby very much.
This was the first time he had seriously observed his four princes.
Not yet over a year old, he looks quite thin.
Little children are cute, especially babies so young.
Emperor Ming Jing watched the four princes grin at him, and his whole heart softened.
This is his child, the child who almost died.
After a while, Emperor Ming Jing seemed to have seen enough, and said to Huang Shun again, "Take it back." Tell me to go down and go to the Zhongcui Palace tonight. ”
