193, Servant of the Righteous
Zhu Zhanji snorted coldly: "Yan's Hugh has a lot to say!" Since Xu Chenghai only proposed Jinhua, there is another solid evidence! You just listen to it! Xu Chenghai! Just keep talking! ”
Xu Chenghai said yes, but he took out a brocade bag from his arms, opened the drawstring, and poured out a small lamb fat jade earring inside, he took it in his hand, and showed it to the Queen Mother, the Emperor and Yan Qingluan before he spoke: "Weichen not only found the bag of Dangmenzi at the water intake place of Yuquan Mountain, but also found half a shoe print in the place where Dangmenzi was buried. The water and grass are abundant, the mud is soft, and there has been no rain in the past few days, so this shoe print is still very well preserved despite the past few days. Wei Chen searched carefully and found this earring in the grass! After comparison, a pair of shoes of Jinhua girl that were brushed and cleaned and dried on the windowsill of her mother's house were completely consistent with the half of the shoe prints! Miss Jinhua, the shoes you wore when you left the palace weren't the ones you wore when you came back, right? And this earring, I found another one in your makeup box! What else do you have to say?! ”
I saw that under the bright palace lights, Yan Qingluan's face was almost transparent. And Jinhua, who had been honestly kneeling at the bottom of the steps, raised his head at this time, burst into tears, looked up at Yan Qingluan and exclaimed sadly: "Niangniang! Slave I'm sorry for you! It's a slave who is stupid! Left the horse's feet! The Queen Mother, Your Majesty! This qiē was all done by the slave and the maid alone, and the slave and the maid confessed! But my wife didn't know about it! I beg the emperor not to blame my wife! Madame, take care! ”
After speaking, she rushed towards the jade step next to her at a speed that was completely inconsistent with just now, and slammed into the railing next to the jade step, only to hear a "bang", and a blood flower bloomed on the white jade railing. Xu Chenghai hurriedly leaned over to pull, but he didn't pull it, only to see Jinhua paralyzed at the bottom of the steps, bleeding all over his face and shattered skull, obviously not alive.
The palace maids and eunuchs of Cining Palace hurriedly came out to carry Jinhua's body away and scrub the railing. In an instant, except for the faint red that could not be erased from the railing, the rest was as always.
It's just that Yan Qingluan was completely stunned, her tears flowed all over her face, and she muttered in despair: "Why did she say that?" Why did she say that? I've always treated her well."
The emperor snorted coldly: "It is precisely because you treat her well that she has to bear it alone!" She did it alone? Who believes it?! ”
Yan Qingluan's tears flowed even more urgently, she "plopped" and knelt on the ground, and said sadly to the emperor: "Your Majesty, Qingluan has been with you for so many years, what kind of person I am, don't you know?" Would you rather believe the word of a slave than me? ”
The emperor turned his face away and didn't look at her, Yan Qingluan closed his eyes, and once again despaired of the person in front of him. She turned her head, walked to the Queen Mother on her knees, hugged the Queen Mother's legs and cried: "Queen Mother, the concubines really don't know, I really didn't do this!" ”
The Queen Mother sighed, helped her up, and said to the emperor: "Since the slave maid said that she did the matter alone, and the person died, this matter will end here." The queen, you go to appease and appease, Ah Feng, you go to my library, and give the ivory Ruyi on the Siamese tribute and the golden bird's nest in Malacca to the queen to give the baby a baby, so that she can rest assured that she can raise the baby. ”
The emperor didn't buy it, and said to the queen mother: "Queen Mother, if this matter ends like this, I'm afraid that someone will follow suit in the future." If everyone can push a slave out to take the blame, then there will be endless troubles. Today, for the sake of you and the third prince, I can no longer track it down, but the Yan family, as the head of the first palace, dares to dare to murder the queen! Yan should also be responsible for negligence! In this way, today I will punish a small punishment and a big commandment, remove Mrs. Yan from the position and return to the concubine position. Remove the title to set an example! The Yan family was grounded in the Yanqi Hall until the queen gave birth! ”
The Queen Mother lowered her eyebrows and lowered her eyes, turned the Buddha beads in her hand and said nothing. A touch of stubbornness flashed in Yan Qingluan's eyes, and he raised his head and was about to speak, but Mama Feng, who was standing on the side, covered her mouth and signaled her to thank her. Yan Qingluan blinked, two lines of unwilling tears welled up, and he gritted his teeth and thanked him.
"That's it?" Qiu Feng listened and said: "The emperor has spared the virtuous and filial piety like this, is it Concubine Yan?" She is plotting to kill the queen and the imperial heir, and she is enough to raid the family and destroy the family! ”
Qiu Yuan glared at her and said, "You have to watch the play here, don't be afraid of the high stage, lest the world be chaotic!" What do you know! How did you know that Concubine Yan was the mastermind of this?! ”
Qiu Feng was unconvinced and said: "Isn't this obvious!" Miss taught us before that when you look at a thing, you have to look at the result and look at the motivation! The motives of this Concubine Yan are clearly placed here! Now her third son is the only prince, and she has won the favor of the queen mother. If no prince is born in the harem, he will be the only heir to the throne! Under such circumstances, how could she be willing for the queen to conceive a prince again? If I want to think about it too" Before she finished speaking, she was covered by Qiu Yuan.
Qiu Yuan shouted: "You really don't want to die!" Dare to say anything! If someone hears this, I don't say that you think so, but that our young lady thinks so! What happened to Concubine Yan? It's not that her subordinates are tired! You have to remember that our every move is connected to the master! You haven't taken the lesson yet! You have to remember that you have to think about which foot you want to take when you go out in the future! ”
Qiufeng was scolded and hung his head, and muttered in a low voice: "I know, it's just that I really can't do these heart-warming things, so it's okay, I will only be in the palace in the future, and I won't go out one step further!" This way, it doesn't matter which foot you step first! ”
Qingdai was amused by her: "Look at your idea!" Because of this, you are so scared that you don't dare to go out? What about the majesty of the king of the autumn wind back then? But what Qiu Yuan said is indeed reasonable, our master and servant are one, if someone wants to find my stubble, the first thing to do is to find the seam between the two of you. In this deep palace, killing people is bloodless, and you must remember this point if you have a few more eyes in trouble! ”
She took a glass of pear nectar handed by Qiu Yuan, sipped it slowly, and said slowly: "From any point of view of this matter, Concubine Yan can't get rid of it. Jinhua is just an ordinary palace maid, where can she get that expensive bag of doormen? Why did she risk robbing her house and killing her head to murder the queen? Who is the prince and what does it have to do with her! Naturally, this was done for the sake of her master. What's more, she defends her master so much, and she is willing to die to bear this charge alone. What a righteous servant! ”
