Chapter Fifty-Seven: Into the Cold Palace
"Didn't find Xiangning?" the queen clenched the embroidered handkerchief in her hand, and felt more and more that all of this was a game at all.
A bureau for her, just for her.
Emperor Wei frowned, was silent for a moment, and then said: "If you don't find it, then continue to look for it, the left and right are in the palace." I still don't believe it, a palace maid, she can still fly with wings. ”
"Yes. ”
The queen's face turned pale, since the other party had set the game to this point, it was definitely impossible for them to find Xiangning.
The palace maid died after leaving such a testimony, and Xiangning disappeared.
Now all the evidence points to her.
What's even more terrifying is that she can't think of any evidence to prove her innocence.
In this game, she lost.
Lost completely.
Sure enough, after waiting for a long time, Liu Wenchang entered the hall.
"Your Majesty, the minions are incompetent and have not been able to find Xiangning. Chen Mama's confession is the same as what Ling Concubine Niangniang said, saying that the queen instructed Ling Concubine Niangniang to dye the hairpin flower with aconite, and then gave the hairpin flower to the third princess. ”
"Mama Chen's confession is very detailed, when did she get the aconitum from whose hands, from whom did she get the hairpins, and how she found the palace people in Juyuan and let them drug the parrot's food, all confessed clearly. ”
The slave asked someone to interrogate the palace people in Mama Chen's confession, including those in Huayin Hall and Juyuan, and their confessions all matched Mama Chen's confession. ”
And there is also a palace person in Juyuan who is responsible for feeding the parrots, and quietly left a small number of parrots mixed with medicine to eat, which is indeed infected with medicine, but it is cold food, not the aconitum that Mama Chen said. ”
Liu Wenchang lowered his head, but his voice was very clear.
Concubine Xian nodded: "Concubine Ling always thought that the medicine given by the queen mother was aconitum at first, and the palace people around her would think so, and it should be." It's just because the queen mother bought off the palace people in the spirit concubine hall and secretly replaced the aconitum with a cold food. ”
When the queen saw Concubine Xian's stubble, she raised her eyes and glanced at Concubine Xian fiercely.
Concubine Xian was not afraid at all, she only looked back at the queen frankly, and even had a little smile in her eyes.
That look, in the eyes of the queen, is like a gloating villain.
The queen only secretly bit her back molars, in this palace, the people who dare to have such courage and such strength to set up this game for her, except for Concubine Xian, don't think twice.
Virtuous Princess!
If this time, Concubine Xian failed to kill her.
When she recovers, she will definitely avenge this revenge ten times and a hundred times with her own hands.
The servants arranged for people to continue to salvage in various places in the palace, such as some remote places, and in the wells in the lake, to find the whereabouts of Na Xiangning. ”
"At present, all the confession minions have also been sorted out, please take a look at it. ”
Emperor Wei turned out to confess, glanced at it at a glance, and then threw those confessions on the queen's face.
"What else do you have to say?"
"Others are prepared to come just to frame the concubine, what can the concubine say? The concubine said that the concubine was wronged, and His Majesty felt that the concubine was quibbling. ”
The queen straightened her back and knelt: "Your Majesty will punish the concubines." The concubine swore that as long as the concubine still had a breath left, she would definitely try her best to get her innocence back. ”
Emperor Wei's gaze fixed on the queen's face for a long time, and then he pursed his lips tightly and turned his back: "Liu Wenchang, issue an edict, the queen used the forbidden drugs in the palace to frame the princess, and from now on, she will enter the cold palace." Take it with you......"
"Yes!"
Liu Wenchang turned his head to look at the queen.
The queen pursed her lips, took a deep breath, and showed a smile on her face that was more ugly than crying: "The palace will go by itself." ”
After saying that, he stood up, straightened his back, and slowly walked out of the Taiji Palace.
Emperor Wei listened to the footsteps and walked away, and gradually walked out of the Taiji Palace, before he opened his mouth again, his voice was full of exhaustion: "Everyone else should also step down, I am a little tired today, if there is anything, I will talk about it another day." ”
"Yes. ”
"The concubine (daughter) retires!"
After walking out of the Taiji Palace and walking some distance, Concubine Xian couldn't help but raise a big smile on her face.
"Ouch, you can just see the appearance of the queen, the wound on her face has not healed, her face is hideous, but she can't quibble. It's really, so happy!"
Concubine Xian laughed: "What happened today, this palace has to remember it well, when you are free, you can reminisce more in your heart, maybe you will sleep more soundly at night." ”
Shen Yunqing lowered his eyes and smiled: "Well, I saw it, it's just ......"
Shen Yunqing had a little hesitation on her face: "But, did those things really happen to the queen mother? Is it really the queen mother who instructed the spirit concubine Niangniang to use that cold food to harm me?"
"Why did she do that? I ...... I don't have any grudges against her, so why would she do this to me?"
When Concubine Xian heard Shen Yunqing ask, the smile on her face suddenly faded: "Why? In this palace, there are not so many whys." However, I do know a thing or two about you. ”
"Now this queen and your biological mother, the age of birth is not much different, but at the beginning, because of your outstanding appearance, your mother was married by His Majesty, and after ascending the throne, she was directly named the queen. ”
"The queen has been jealous of your queen mother for a long time. ”
Concubine Xian's eyes fell on the distance, and her eyes were full of memories: "Now this queen has a strong temperament, she likes to compete for the first place in everything, and she has wanted the position of queen for a long time." It should be said that there are no women in the palace and they don't want that position. ”
"She doesn't like your mother, she hates your mother, this hatred, this dislike, will not disappear just because your mother died. ”
"When she sees you, she thinks of your mother, especially because you look almost exactly like your mother. ”
"So, she won't like you and will want to hurt you, and it's not for no reason. ”
Concubine Xian turned her head and her gaze fell on Shen Yunqing's face fixedly: "And...... In recent years, I have been at odds with the queen, and I have been investigating some things back then. ”
Concubine Xian paused: "Do you know how your mother died?"
Shen Yunqing nodded: "Although I was young back then, I also had some impressions. The queen mother died in childbirth. Mother and son did not save ......"
Concubine Xian bowed her head, and her voice was a little heavy: "In the past few days since you returned to the palace, I can also see that Your Majesty likes you very much, favors you very much, and you are also a smart person." ”
"If you have the chance, you can check the death of your mother. ”
Shen Yunqing paused and turned his head suddenly: "Mother concubine...... What does it mean to be a concubine? Could it be that my queen mother's death is so strange?"
