(51) Doubts
Rou Gui Ji was favored, and her body was better raised, so she listened to the persuasion of the palace people around her, no longer confined in the Jinghong Palace all day long, and often went to the garden, next to Taiye Lake to relax, or to visit other concubines, gradually, Rou Gui Ji also had a few concubines who were good friends with herself, during this period, His Majesty's favor and reward basically never stopped, although there are individual concubines who are still dissatisfied and jealous, but most of the smart people have realized that Rou Guiji is favored is already an established fact, and now they are looking at their bodies are getting better and better, Now that he is from the position of the third grade, in case he gives birth to a prince and princess in the future, wouldn't this identity have to be mentioned again? Besides, although it is important to value the family background, the women who enter the palace are all emperors, and they look at the emperor's favor, position and children, and the people in the harem are all people who are used to self-enlightenment, otherwise this deep palace is long, how should I spend it? I figured out that now is not a good time to exclude Rou Guiji, but because Rou Guiji is the first person in the harem except for the queen, with such a body and family background, His Majesty not only does not dislike, but is very pity, it is said that there have been several times that Rou Guiji has not slept because of physical reasons, but His Majesty Xià still spent the night in her palace, and now it is time to have a good relationship with her, what if she can say a few good words for herself in front of Her Majesty? So there are more people talking and laughing in front of Rou Guiji, and after coming and going, everyone will find that this Rou Guiji is not the kind of woman who can't be on the stage in the imagination, and the etiquette of talking is not inferior to the ladies cultivated by the nobles of the family, and some concubines have begun to get along with Rou Guiji sincerely.
Gradually, there are fewer people in the palace for Rou Guiji, and the life of Yang Xi and other palace people is also better, Rou Guiji has confidence, and the palace people of the Jinghong Palace are becoming more and more magnanimous, and they no longer restrict the palace people to be careful and laugh at the outsiders, but let them walk, sit and lie down can not lose the temperament of the palace people from the three grades, and Rou Guiji herself may also feel guilty because of the palace people who were careful and cautious in the first place, and now they are like a spring breeze, whether they are praised or rewarded for doing a good job in small things are trivial things, The key is that even if she does something wrong, Rou Guiji will not punish and care harshly, she will only follow and teach kindly, and she is extremely trusting and gentle to the palace people. Where can I find such a forgiving master? In the past, those who had found a relationship with the Amazing Palace early regretted that they were too reckless and impatient, and the palace people who stayed were very happy, according to the situation of their masters, there would be opportunities to eat and drink spicy food in the future, and now, it is time for other palace people to envy themselves!
The other palace people in the Jinghong Palace began to be excited and looking forward to the coming days, but Yangxi became more and more worried and anxious.
Why?
Isn't it because she did something sorry for her master because of selfishness and misestimation?
Now that the turmoil of Luo Guiji's change of dressing has not passed, He Zhaoyi threatened to keep it secret, and there is a master in the middle who is getting better and better to himself and makes him very weak-hearted, Yang Xi is not a ruthless and ruthless person who can do big things, she is already on the verge of collapse under the attack of the triple dilemma, the whole person's expression is highly nervous, the string in her brain is tight, after a long time, Rou Guiji found that Yang Xi is a little wrong, she often talks and does things absent-mindedly, and her eyes often dodge when facing herself, Rou Guiji is a careful person, since she brought Yang Xi into the palace, Yang Xi's behavior has gone back and forth, after thinking about it, she has tried a little bit without a trace, and has also found some clues.
However, Rou Guiji is also a person with little experience, and found that Yang Xi was wrong, but she couldn't pretend to be nothing, she quickly moved away from Yang Xi, reused the mediocre Ruxi, and took advantage of Yang Xi's absence, went to turn over her house, and then locked her in the ear room in the name of embroidering clothes.
Yang Xi knew that the matter might be revealed, but Rou Guiji only locked her up, did not say how to deal with it, and did not even question, which made Yang Xi even more panicked, feeling that she was afraid that she had been discovered by her master. But at this time, He Zhaoyi took advantage of Rou Guiji's absence to send someone to find the door and ask her to do something bigger for her!
What exactly happened, Yang Xi did not disclose it in the letter, only said that after she received this instruction, she was even more afraid and uneasy in her heart, on the one hand, she was afraid that He Zhaoyi would expose what she had done, although now her master has doubted herself, but the matter has not yet been decided, she may still have a chance to turn around, and there is no physical evidence, if the master can give a chance to speak, she may be able to give it a fight, but if He Zhaoyi publicizes this matter, she not only confirms the charge of harming the master, There is also a great sin of betraying the Lord who works for other masters, and I am afraid that I will really die! On the other hand, Rou Guiji is her master after all, and she is still a slave brought by Rou Guiji from home, her father's life is in the hands of Rou Guiji, when she changed the medicinal materials, she didn't expect that it would hurt Rou Guiji so much, so she did it, and this time He Zhaoyi planned something, but she could never do it! Not only do you have to protect your master, but you also have to protect your family!
But He Zhaoyi refused to let go of herself, and she didn't know where she came from, Yang Xi refused to agree one day, so she sent someone to urge and threaten one day. Until yesterday, He Zhaoyi sent someone to tell her that Rou Guiji had gone to the queen's palace, I am afraid that the queen was asked to interrogate Yang Xi, if Yang Xi still did not agree, then there would be only one end!
Yang Xi was shocked and angry when he received the news, and he was shocked that the master had really made up his mind, if the queen sent someone to interrogate him, would he be able to survive? The angry thing is that He Zhaoyi has reached this point, but she still doesn't forget to threaten that she will help her do it, it can be seen that those who are kind and kind to themselves in the old days are just pretending!
Yang Xi finally said in the letter that she was shocked and thought that if He Zhaoyi's true face was like this, even if she helped her do something, I was afraid that she would not be able to get better. Now that she has fallen into an embarrassment, but she will no longer be able to help He Zhaoyi, and she is afraid that she will reject He Zhaoyi, she will speak in front of the queen, then she will have no power to turn over, and her family may also be angry, now, the best way is to ask the master and the queen mother to die, beg them to raise their noble hands, forgive themselves for being confused for a while, and don't be angry with their families!
Song Mier read the letter, although he disdained Yang Xi, a person who was obviously disloyal and unjust, but still had to declare his innocence and helplessness in the letter, he was also very upset, although Yang Xi was disloyal and unjust, but Rou Guiji, He Zhaoyi, and the harem cadres who pushed her and prompted her to make a wrong choice were not innocent. We never know what the impact of a decision made today will be on the future.
Song Mi'er calmed down for a long time, raised his eyes and looked at the people of the Shen Xing Palace who were still waiting on the side, and for some reason there was a trace of strangeness in his heart, and asked softly to the palace people, "That Yang Xi really committed suicide?" Did she leave anything else besides this letter? ”
Several palace people from the Shen Criminal Division followed Rou Guiji into the hall, and the queen did not give any orders, so they could only wait honestly, and there were many eyes staring at the front and back of this hall, and they didn't dare to do anything inappropriate. The letter is not long, but the time for the queen to read it is not too short, and the palace people who read it are a little distracted, and suddenly heard the queen's question, and several people did not react at the first time.
It wasn't until the young attendant standing next to the queen, who was said to be called Yun Cong, asked in a low voice again, and the few people who were waiting came back to their senses, and the older palace man who took the lead hurriedly took a small step, and knelt down in front of the queen, only to reply in a tone that could not hear half of the flattery, but let the listeners be extremely comfortable: "Back to the queen's words, this Yang Xi is indeed committing suicide, and when the minions rescued her, she was already out of breath, and the letter was pressed on the square bench that fell aside, and the minions estimated it, The letter was placed on the stool, but Yang Xi kicked it on the stool, and the letter floated to the ground first, and then was suppressed by the stool. ”
The palace people of the Prudent Criminal Division answered all questions, and when they answered, they were also serious and respectful, so that people could know that he didn't think about it carefully, and he must have told the truth, and he never told a lie.
The words spoken by the palace people are indeed true, they did see Yang Xi committing suicide, and also saw that the letter was pressed under the stool, but the people next to him may not know, he is an old man in the Shen Penal Division, and it is a trivial matter to torture and die in the palace when the first emperor was there, for him, he knows very well the state of people before and after death and what kind of scars can be caused by what kind of utensils, and it is comparable to half a fu. One or two of the red marks on Nayangxi's neck were inconsistent with the traces left on the neck by the hemp rope when he hanged himself, and the letter, if it had been pressed under the stool, would have either been on the ground in the first place, or it would have been placed on the stool surface. According to the way of ordinary people, no one will throw such an important letter on the ground at will, so it is very likely that the letter was placed on the stool surface, and it was pressed as the stool fell to the ground, but if it was placed on the stool surface at the beginning, the stool was not big, and Yang Xi wanted to step on it, it would definitely leave footprints on the envelope, but the envelope was clean and there was no stain at all. There are too many doubts about Yangxi's suicide, but this matter involves a noble concubine and a Zhaoyi, a small palace man of his own, just say what he sees, why bother to shake the tree and get along with the big guys?
No one knew the psychological activities of this old palace man of the Shen Penal Division, but when he was very honest and answered the queen's words, he quietly knelt on the ground and waited.
Song Mier frowned, always feeling that there was something he had overlooked, but he couldn't think of what it was, so he sighed and told the palace people to get up.
Qinghe on the side stepped forward half a step, leaned down and asked Song Mier softly: "Master, but do you want to summon He Zhaoyi to come?" ”
Song Mi'er sighed softly again, "Go ahead, let Dexiu invite His Majesty as well." ”
