Chapter 131: Death as Proof
"Are you the palace maid of this palace?" The woman in the yellow shirt couldn't help but wonder when she saw that she was wearing palace clothes, but she was covered with a veil.
"Well, yes."
Seeing her nodding, the woman in the yellow shirt couldn't help but shake her hand excitedly, "In that case, then do you know where Concubine Xian Niangniang is now?" ”
"Concubine Xian?" Although Li Anyue had never seen her, she had an inexplicable good impression of her, perhaps because she was infected by her enthusiasm, and her tone of voice was more energetic, "Now I should be with the twelve princes in the Begonia Palace." ”
"What about the four princes, aren't the four princes here?" The woman in the yellow shirt nodded, and asked thoughtfully.
"The fourth prince hasn't come here yet, and it may be a little later."
The woman in the yellow shirt pursed her mouth and thought for a moment. "That's it, that's okay, I'll go find Concubine Xian first, that, how to go to the Begonia Palace?"
"You can see it all the way down the road. May I ask ...... you are" Li Anyue just wanted to ask who she was, but the woman in the yellow shirt ran away, and said to her while turning around, "I know, thank you!" ”
Li Anyue watched her disappear for a while, and she didn't come back to her senses. Shaking his head, he went to the garden to find Kerr again.
There were many moons planted in the garden, and they were blooming brightly, a mixture of red and pink, and one of them was blooming one by one, and some of the branches had two or three on them, and they were pressed heavily on the other branches. At this time, Kerr was squatting in a pile of flowers, carefully pruning them, trying to leave a separate branch for each new bud, so that the blooming moon was full and vivid.
"Kerr!" Li Anyue stood on the path and shouted at her.
"Miss!" Ke'er looked up happily and waved to her, "Miss, you go to the pavilion and wait for me for a while, I'm ready to finish cutting!" ”
Li Anyue nodded, and walked slowly to the pavilion on crutches, now the weather is very hot, Li Anyue watched Ke'er work so hard under the scorching sun, and felt faintly unhappy in her heart. After Ke'er finished it, she came over, and Li Anyue handed her a glass of cold water first.
"Thank you, Miss! This hell weather is really going to be hot! Kerr gulped down the water, took off the turban wrapped around her head to shade the sun, and sat down.
"Isn't it hard?"
Ke'er glanced at her and said with a smile, "The days are much more fun now than before, Concubine Xian is so good, and Sister Luzhu, Sister Biyun, Sister Ziyu, and the most important thing is that you can be with Miss every day, Ke'er doesn't want to change anything now!" ”
Li Anyue was amused by her, and her mood was much more relaxed, "As long as you feel happy, that's fine." ”
"Miss, are you feeling better, and are you still in pain?"
"Well, it's almost better, but it's not that serious, it's just some skin trauma!"
Ke'er looked at her face and pointed, "What about your face, is it good?" ”
Li Anyue touched the veil, leaned over and whispered, "Don't worry, although you can't take off the veil yet, but you think about it, I can enter the palace like that at the beginning, what is this little injury." ”
When Ke'er heard this, she knew what Li Anyue was referring to, so she pursed her lips and smiled secretly, "Miss, you have been staying in the room for the past few days, and you don't know that many things have happened in the palace. ”
"What's the matter?"
"Does Miss remember Shen Yueyin?"
"Shen Yueyin? What's wrong with her? ”
"She's dead!"
"Dead?" Li Anyue looked at her in disbelief, "What's going on?" How could she die? When did this happen? ”
"Miss, don't get excited, listen to Ke'er tell you slowly." Kerr soothed her, "This was three days ago. Ke'er also listened to what Sister Luzhu said...... I don't know where the rumors came from......"
It turned out that three days ago, I don't know who secretly saw Shen Yueyin and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince having a private meeting at night, and there were rumors that there was a private affair between the two, and even dug out that the prince and Shen Yueyin had known each other long ago.
That day, Shen Yueyin was bothered by these rumors, and when she was sitting by the pond feeding the goldfish, Yu Wenyun also happened to pass by and saw her. I don't know why the two argued, so Yu Wenyun sarcastically said to her, "The taste of a maid and two husbands is good, right?" ”
Shen Yueyin's face turned blue and white for a while, and she only heard her say, "I am just an old acquaintance with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but I don't have any unsavory relationship, if the second princess doesn't believe it, the master can prove it to the second princess." ”
Yu Wenyun still had a sarcastic smile on his face, "Oh, how can you prove it?" ”
"How about death?" Shen Yueyin said slowly with a pale face.
Yuwen was stunned, she naturally wouldn't believe that Shen Yueyin would really run away to commit suicide, but instead covered her mouth and laughed as if she had heard a very funny joke, so exaggerated that tears of laughter came out, but she only heard a scream from the palace maids around her, and saw Shen Yueyin hit her head on the sharp rockery, her forehead was broken a big hole, and blood gushed out from inside. Yu Wenyun looked at this scene in surprise, things changed so quickly that she didn't react at once. Many of the little palace maids present were also crying in fright, and some of them were bold enough to cover their eyes and peek through two gaps.
Yu Wenyun came back to his senses, and yelled at the little palace maid beside him, "What else are you looking at?" Why don't you go and call the Imperial Doctor! You are only happy if people die! But when the imperial doctor arrived, Shen Yueyin's body became a little cold, so she could only cover it with a white cloth and carry it away. Yu Wenyun also didn't say a word, and went back to Jingde Palace with a pale face.
Li Anyue frowned when she heard this, and suddenly turned to the side and retched, Ke'er hurriedly stopped her mouth and went behind her to comfort her, "Miss, you drink saliva first." ”
After a while, Li Anyue gasped and stopped, and Ke'er said with a look of self-reproach, "I knew that Miss reacted so much, so I wouldn't tell Miss." ”
Li Anyue waved her hand, "Why didn't you tell me before this?" ”
Ke'er replied in a low voice, "The prince knows that you and Shen Yueyin have a good relationship, so he won't let us tell you these things, saying that he is afraid that you will be unhappy when he hears it." ”
"What about the Prince, does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince know about this? Did you say anything or do anything? ”
"The matter is so big, I must know it, but I haven't seen any actions from His Royal Highness the Prince, maybe His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really has nothing to do with her, but forced a good woman to death, so the gossip in this palace is really terrible." Ke'er said with palpitations.
"That Shen Yueyin's ...... Corpses...... Is it buried? Li Anyue still couldn't help but gag when she said this.
"Well, it was buried the next day, and the people up there didn't want to make a big deal out of it." Kerr poured her another glass of water.
Li Anyue didn't drink the water cup, Shen Yueyin's appearance appeared in his mind, and he suddenly felt that human life was really fragile, and he could disappear in an instant. Although after that incident, Li Anyue's impression of Shen Yueyin was no longer good, but after all, she was also a person she had gotten along with, and she never thought that one day she would end her life in such a way. If Shen Yueyin was tortured for these rumors and chose to commit suicide, she didn't believe it, she might be much stronger than others imagined. It's just that there is another person involved in these rumors, Shen Yueyin's feelings for the prince she is aware of, if she chooses to die in order to defend the person she loves, this reason may be more acceptable to Li Anyue.
"Miss, everyone has his own destiny, and each has his own destiny. Don't think about it, it hurts to think too much. Ke'er saw that she stayed for a long time and didn't move, for fear that she would feel sad.
Li Anyue didn't speak, nodded, drank the rest of the tea, and hid some of the anxiety in his heart. Ke'er wanted to divert her attention, "Miss, in addition to this, there is another new thing in the palace. ”
"Don't say it, I'm afraid I won't be able to bear it so much at once." Li Anyue waved her hand a little weakly.
"No, miss, the next thing is different from the last. Miss, guess what? ”
"How can I guess what is going on?" Li Anyue couldn't help but roll her eyes.
Ke'er saw that she had recovered some of her vitality, and her interest became even greater, "Well, okay, then I'll just tell you directly." I heard that a county lord has recently come from Chen Guo's side, and he has entered the palace in the last two days. I heard that the county lord is likeable, she is beautiful and has a good personality, and everyone who has seen her can't help but praise her all the time. ”
"Chen Guo? Is that the mother country of the virtuous concubine? ”
"Well, yes, and I heard that the woman is still related to Concubine Xian, and most of the reasons for coming to Beijing this time are to visit Concubine Xian, and some people say that she entered Beijing to ......" Ke'er stopped as she spoke, looked at Li Anyue with her mouth open, and then lowered her head without saying anything.
"For what? Ke'er, why didn't you say it? Li Anyue was obedient and couldn't help but ask when she heard half of it.
"Miss, in fact, there is nothing to say about this, Miss, you better go back and rest, you see, it's so hot this day......" Ke'er turned her eyes and thought about how to answer, and hated herself for being quick for a while.
Li Anyue could see that she wanted to change the topic, so she lowered her voice and pretended to scare her, "Ke'er, if you have anything to say, I don't like it like to be so talkative." ”
"Well, miss, I was wrong, actually...... There's really nothing to say, it's okay if you don't listen......" Ke'er looked at her pitifully.
"Say it quickly, I won't ignore you in the future."
Ke'er twisted the corners of her clothes and struggled for a while, then plucked up her courage and said, "Okay, miss, then don't be angry when you hear it, in fact, ......"
