Chapter 145: Failure (6k)
What a faithful slave to protect her Lord!
Qing Li smiled faintly, but with some mockery.
That Mo Xiangfu knelt on the ground and cried to herself, and only her voice was left in the inner hall, and the others were all looking at Qing Li and Ling Sier.
The Queen Mother clenched Ling Sier's hand, her delicate and white hands were as soft and smooth as clotted fat, and she also wanted to see if the same was true on that arm, but she saw that the wide cuffs were tied tightly with ribbons.
My heart sank.
What Mo Xiang said is true, Si Er is really injured......
The Queen Mother affirmed what she was thinking, tightened Ling Sier's hand, and looked towards Qing Li.
She didn't think that Qing Li deliberately mutiated Si Er and injured her.
This child is peaceful and gentle, if he doesn't provoke her, with that temperament, he will never do anything to harm others.
At most, Si Er was greedy for fun, and he was injured, but Qing Li still helped cover up.
But she understood, but what about the emperor?
The emperor is taboo about Qing Li, even if he is like a mirror in his heart, he can also pretend to be stupid, not to mention that this matter is indefensible, and Concubine Shu is fanning the flames by the side, what is the argument if she has the heart to help?
Concubine De was close to the Queen Mother, and she also noticed the special features of Si Er's bedclothes, and her eyebrows also frowned.
She is grateful to Qing Li, it was she who healed the prince, and she also sent someone to take care of Hua Yun, if it weren't for Qing Li, Hua Yun and the child in her womb would have had an accident.
Just because of these reasons, Concubine De didn't want to see Qing Li suffer these unwarranted disasters.
The brain is racing. She thought about how to keep it down.
The beautiful woman looked anxious, her fingers twisted the handkerchief, but when she saw Qing Li in her eyes, she was calm and distant. Most of that anger has disappeared inexplicably.
Ling Chu also looked at Qing Li, who was not shocked, his eyes narrowed unconsciously, as if there was a smooth Dao Dao in it.
Ling Sier was already speechless in shock, a pair of apricot eyes widened and looked at Mo Xiang on the ground, and said loudly: "Mo Xiang! Do you know what you're talking about? ”
Rao was full of anger in her mouth, but her hand shrunk in the quilt still couldn't help but clench tightly.
She's innocent, but she's not stupid.
It's all about time. If she can't see that Concubine Shu is coming for Qing Li, then she is really going back more and more!
It's just that this palace man who has followed her since she was a child. The henchman she thought in her heart actually betrayed the Lord!
And this thought to help Concubine Shu, she is really blind and raised a white-eyed wolf!
Mo Xiang's body stiffened. The crying also stopped. He kowtowed a few more times to Ling Sier, and continued to cry: "Princess, the slave knows that you are kind and kind, but you have suffered so many grievances and have to help the princess hide it, but she stays out of the matter, and the slave and maid are crying out for you!" ”
She lowered her head and her face was unbearable, but she said firmly: "Princess, you explained that a few of us are not allowed to say it, and the slave maid has been listening." But every time I help you change the dressing, I see such a hideous scar, and the slave really can't bear it! You're a good girl. But there are such scars on the body, how can it be good in the future! ”
"You!" Ling Sier was so choked that he couldn't speak, and his originally pale face turned red from anger, trying to calm his breathing.
After a long time, Ling Sier suppressed his voice and said, "Mo Xiang, my sister treats you well, and I treat you well!" ”
There was a cry in the voice, and the voice of hatred made Mo Xiang's body tremble violently.
Yes, the princess treated her very well, and the princess was gentle and gave her medicine, which she also remembers......
Qing Li, who had been silent for a long time, finally reacted, she glanced at Mo Xiang, and the extremely cold in her eyes made her shiver for no reason.
"Your Majesty, do you also think that Qing Li brutalized Si Er, injured her, and then instilled her with all kinds of ecstasy decoctions, so that she hid everyone for me?"
Qing Li's voice was very light, and his gaze was still so calm, but it made Ling Chu feel that something seemed different.
Qing Li smiled faintly, she was asking the emperor to have a clear attitude, although he had already made his position clear when he appeared here, but she still had to listen to him in person, just not to give him a little room to maneuver!
Ling Chu was silent for a moment before he said, "Let me take a look at Si Er's right arm, if it is really as Mo Xiang said, I will investigate it thoroughly." ”
This was too compromised, and Qing Li sneered in his heart.
Thorough investigation?
That's a good sound!
Check it out or not, what results are found, isn't it just your words?
Qing Li obviously didn't want to be fooled like this, but asked, "What if there are no scars?" ”
As soon as this question was asked, not only Ling Chu was stunned, everyone was slightly stunned, and Mo Xiang, who was kneeling on the ground, trembled.
Concubine Shu felt that there was something wrong with Qing Li early on, and now seeing her so calm, her heart was shocked.
No way? She's obviously investigated! It can't be fake!
Concubine Shu kept asking herself.
Qing Li has always had such an indifferent and gentle attitude, and she can't see through what she thinks in her heart, so Concubine Shu suddenly lost her usual accuracy in front of her, and she was very uneasy in her heart.
No, no, she had made all the preparations, and Qing Li was clearly bluffing to make her back down.
Right! That's right, it must be like this!
Concubine Shu comforted herself so much in her heart.
"What does the princess mean by such a delay? Since the emperor said that it would be good to take a look at Si Er's arm, but you are procrastinating and not doing it, but what do you have in mind? Concubine Shu looked straight at Qing Li, trying to capture even the slightest convulsion, but she was still disappointed.
"You can't say that." Qing Li shook her head, "Concubine Shu made a big show today, and brought Mo Xiang to testify against Qing Li's fault. If this thing is true, then Qingli is inevitable from a catastrophe, if it is false, then it is the mother who framed me. If I don't find a way back for myself, and wait for the hasty thing to come, how can Qing Li be willing? ”
The corners of her mouth raised slightly, as if she laughed at herself: "It turns out that Qing Li is such a low-minded person in the eyes of everyone. There is only the share of bearing, but there is no life to fight back......"
It's as if they really wronged her.
Concubine Shu gritted her teeth, but joy secretly rose in her heart.
If Qing Li was simply fine, she would still wonder. Now that she is so obstructed, it clearly proves that she is a thief, and she is even more sure that Qing Li is in a dying struggle.
"Sophistry!" Concubine Shu's eyebrows were raised, her anger was rampant, and her originally charming and gentle face was also distorted.
"The evidence is conclusive, you wouldn't have a chance, if it weren't for the emperor's concern, your identity. I've taken you into custody a long time ago! You're still blaming the Holy Lord here, it's just nonsense! ”
Hum! She thought she would back down if she threatened her like this? Stop dreaming!
"Oh?" Qing Li was puzzled and swept his eyes towards Mo Xiang. "The evidence that Concubine Shuniang said is conclusive, is Mo Xiang's side of the story? Then I said that my mother bought her to slander me! Do you also do the number? ”
Concubine Shu's heart shrank, her eyes flashed, and she said secretly: She won't know anything, right......
But in a blink of an eye, she quickly took her love back. "Huh. Do you think it's just Mo Xiang? I don't believe even a little one-sided! ”
As she spoke, she clapped her hands, and a few palace maids walked in, kneeling on the ground to greet everyone.
Ling Sier looked at the person kneeling on the ground, his body trembled with anger, and he said with sadness and indignation: "You, you all testify that my sister hurt me......"
"Your Majesty, the minions don't dare to lie. The princess really has a big scar on her arm, and it was indeed made by the princess......"
Several people were in agreement. Ling Sier was so angry that she cried on the spot.
These, these people, are the closest to her!
This is the henchman!
She looked at Ling Chu sadly, and saw that a joy seemed to rise in his eyes, and her heart felt like she had been stabbed with a knife.
What I couldn't understand before, at this moment, I miraculously understood......
Father, this is a deliberate attempt to slander my sister!
And she actually became the best excuse, the last straw used to crush the camel......
He didn't even show the slightest concern or concern for her, only had time to rejoice in what he was about to achieve.
Thinking of the cold treatment she had been subjected to these days, and that Qing Li could still worry about her, Ling Sier's heart was suddenly mixed with flavors.
It turns out that all kinds of glory and favor are just one of his pawns......
Ling Sier cried bitterly.
"How? With so many witnesses, what else do you have to say? Concubine Shu raised her eyebrows proudly, and wanted to see Qing Li's shocked appearance, but unfortunately that faint beautiful face was always clear and elegant.
For some reason, such a calm always made her originally calm heart rise and fall, and she felt uneasy.
"That's it?" Qing Li pointed to the subordinates in a place and shook his head funny, "I can also buy the subordinates of the first palace, and then testify against Niangniang, I have always said that there must be witnesses and physical evidence, but Niangniang's evidence is still not strong enough!" ”
Qing Li's strong argument made Concubine Shu furious, "Physical evidence? Hum! The princess added two ribbons to the sleeves of her bedding for no reason, if it wasn't deliberately covered, who would hide her ears and steal the bell like this? ”
You know, the bedwear is loose and comfortable, so don't you have no silver here to tie the cuffs tightly?
She felt more and more that what she expected was right, and walked over to open the pineapple wood medicine box that Qing Li brought with her, and said without looking at it: "There is also here!" Most of the medicine in your medicine box is scald medicine, and the princess is only weak and has no external injuries, so how can you use so much! That's enough to constitute physical evidence, right? ”
She was already laughing heartily as she spoke.
Qing Li really had to admire Concubine Shu, she spent so much money and manpower, and even inquired about the medicines in her medicine box, which can be regarded as completely prepared.
She ignored Concubine Fang Cai's series of defenses, looked at Ling Chu again, and said, "Your Majesty, you haven't answered my question yet. ”
Ling Chu frowned.
He couldn't figure it out, what kind of capital did Qing Li have? Pretending to be calm won't come to this point.
Could it be that something really went wrong?
Eager to get an answer, Ling Chu was about to make a voice for Su An to pull Ling Sier's sleeve open and take a look, when a firm, powerful and majestic female voice came: "Girl, if you are wronged, the mourning family will be the master for you!" ”
After watching it for so long, she probably understood something.
Qing Li can still be quiet at this time, although she has always been indifferent, but if she didn't have this confidence, she wouldn't really be so calm.
I'm just afraid of this. There is something strange about it.
got the guarantee of the queen mother, and when the emperor did not object, of course, he did a good job.
Qing Li smiled knowingly. blessed the queen mother.
"Si Er, they all said that you were injured, so let everyone take a look." Qing Li smiled faintly and turned to Ling Sier.
She was crying sadly, for Ling Chu's attitude towards her, and for the fact that so many people around her betrayed her one by one, for the first time, she felt that she had really failed in her life!
It was a person she thought valued love and righteousness. But it's just a mask.
The autumn wind was already slightly cool, and Ling Sier was already weak, just as a gust of wind blew across the window lattice. It made her shiver.
It was also the first time she felt that this palace was really so cold.
Even when her mother died, she didn't feel so cold.
It seems to be a belief that has been born since she was born. Collapsed abruptly......
Qing Li looked at Ling Sier's blank eyes. I sighed in my heart.
Today's events are a lesson and a revelation for Si Er.
Ling Sier has always been protected under everyone's ivory tower, all the dark side has been more or less hidden, and she is a rough mind, she thinks in a good direction as soon as she wants, and she is a natural optimist.
Such a character. The pros and cons are mixed.
The good thing is that she can always be innocent and lively. The downside is that she lacks a sense of defense.
In the past, Ling Sier had a supreme honor, and of course everyone would not embarrass her, but now, in this situation, if she is still the same as usual, I am afraid that she will not know how to die.
Eat a trench and grow a wisdom, if Si Er can open his mind, then it is not a good thing for Shufei to find fault today.
"Si Er......" Qing Li called again, seeing that there was a slight look in her eyes, she cast an encouraging look.
It's time for her to be tougher......
Ling Sier was sad in his heart, looked at Qing Li with tears in his eyes, and under the comfort of that peaceful look, he temporarily suppressed the tearing pain in his heart.
Fang Cai Qingli applied agar to her, and the hideous and terrifying scar had long disappeared, and what was revealed again was nothing more than the delicate skin from before.
In this way, what Concubine Shu said is all slander!
Ling Sier knew that her sister was trying to teach Concubine Shu a lesson.
She has also endured Concubine Shu for a long time!
Mo Xiang betrayed the master, and the subordinates of her palace have defected, and recently the little masters of the palace have frequently stepped forward to provoke, all thanks to this woman! Where can she back down?
Ling Sier glanced at Concubine Shu with hatred, and the next moment she threw herself into the arms of the Queen Mother, crying and crying: "Imperial grandmother! The imperial grandmother, the lady lady has red lips and white teeth, but she speaks some foul language! You see how good my sister is to me, how can she hurt me......"
As she cried, she untied the ribbon on her cuffs and lifted her sleeves, revealing her entire arm.
The smooth and smooth skin like jade is like a layer of faint white light in the sun, like a fine mutton fat jade, crystal clear, exquisite and beautiful, where is there any trace of half a point of injury?
She shook her white and bare arms, tears welling up in her eyelashes, "Imperial grandmother, this beddress with ribbons was only raised under the Kyoto period, and the mother has been lonely and unheard of in the deep palace for a long time, but it is wrong for her to slander her sister!" Look at me, what's hurting? Where did my sister hurt me again? Why do they have to tell right and wrong and say so sister? Grandmother, you can't sit idly by! ”
Ling Sier threw herself into the arms of the Queen Mother again, sobbing and sobbing.
Although the emperor didn't care about her, the queen mother still felt sorry for this granddaughter, and still regarded her as a treasure as usual, and Ling Sier could only beg her to be the master at this time.
Concubine Shu's eyes were full of astonishment, and her feet were a little soft, and she even wondered if she was mistaken, so she rubbed her eyes with her hand, but only saw a white flower......
"Nope! That's impossible! Concubine Shu screamed, and wanted to rush over and pull Ling Sier's arm, but Concubine De and Qing Li blocked the way.
Concubine De saw that Ling Sier was not hindered at all, and at the same time, she was relieved in her heart, and at the same time, she sneered again and again.
"Sister, what are you doing? It's a bit of a royal demeanor to be so unceremonious......" Concubine De hooked the corners of her lips and sarcastically unceremoniously.
Although she had doubts in her heart, of course she was helping Ling Sier at this time!
Hmph, there is a way in heaven that you don't take, and there is no door to hell for you to vote!
Lady, do your part. It's really rare!
"Get out of the way!" Concubine Shu didn't care about pushing Concubine De away, shaking her head and muttering, "No." That's impossible! There must be something wrong with it! Go away! ”
She used her strength to push Concubine De away.
Concubine De staggered back two steps, if it weren't for the support of her personal maid, I am afraid that she would have fallen to the ground, and she was also on fire for a while.
"Lady! You are presumptuous! Concubine De pointed at Concubine Shu and scolded sharply.
Although her position is the same as that of Concubine Shu, she is a cut higher than her because she is in charge of the phoenix seal, and now she is actually committing the next crime!
Concubine Shu choked. Only then did he realize that he was out of shape, and immediately straightened his demeanor, and the concubine said: "It's the concubine who has trespassed." Sister Concubine De is annoyed. ”
She pretended to be calm on her face, but in her heart, it was like kicking a rabbit and jumping straight up, and she wanted to jump out of her chest, staring at Ling Sier with a dead eye.
Concubine Shu was not the only one who was shocked. The subordinates who knelt all over the ground and Mo Xiang were also struck by lightning at this moment. He was stunned on the ground and didn't dare to move, only looked at Ling Sier for a moment.
Obviously, it was good yesterday, why did it disappear in the blink of an eye......
Mo Xiang was drenched in cold sweat behind his back, soaking through half of his clothes.
In the current situation, that is, she framed the princess with empty words, and the crime is not punishable......
Mo Xiang was incredulous, as if all his strength had been drained at once, like a fish out of water. On the verge of death.
Ling Chu's eyes narrowed, and he was also surprised.
No wonder. No wonder Qing Li can be so calm, it turns out that he has already made a move......
The Queen Mother stroked Ling Sier's hair with pity, and said bitterly: "Good boy, you have been wronged, and Miss Qing has also been wronged......"
Her voice was as kind as the wind, which made Ling Sier feel a trace of warmth, and she cried even more fiercely at the moment.
"No!" Concubine Shu subconsciously shouted, she hurriedly walked in front of the emperor, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, no!" That must be a trick! The Qing family has been inherited for a hundred years, and there are a lot of good things, so it is not surprising that it can be done like this! ”
She gritted her teeth viciously and glared at Qing Li, "Your Majesty, everyone in this palace has seen that Princess Si Yi is injured, do you think they may fabricate lies for no reason to deceive the monarch?" Isn't this living impatiently? The emperor is discerning! ”
Concubine Shu immediately kowtowed, her trembling shoulders showing her inner unpeace.
Listening to Concubine Shu's words, Mo Xiang, who had just been reckless, seemed to come to life again, and immediately stepped forward on his knees, crying: "Your Majesty, Mo Xiang doesn't dare to deceive the emperor!" Mo Xiang swore to the sky, if there is half a lie, the sky will hit five thunders! ”
"Heh, what kind of poisonous oath should this palace be! But that's it. Concubine De snorted coldly, and also walked in front of Ling Chu and blessed her, "Your Majesty, as the old saying goes, money can make ghosts grind, if these subordinates are all bought, it is not surprising that they can do some ridiculous things." But as you can see, the princess is unscathed, and it is this group of subordinates who are reversing black and white. Your eyes are like a torch, and you must be aware of everything. ”
Concubine De gave the emperor a high hat.
"No, it's not!" Concubine Shu was so frightened that she couldn't stop her hands from trembling, "Your Majesty, if I really bought them, how could I not have thought about the consequences of the East Window incident?" I, who clearly wronged the princess, can't please at all, how could I do such a stupid thing? - Your Majesty, you have to believe in your concubines! ”
Concubine Shu cried so much that Ling Chu was very useful in the past, but since he accepted the beautiful woman, it didn't arouse his interest anymore.
The graceful beauty was in no danger because of the talent, and a hanging heart also fell back into the cavity, and then looked at the pretending pitiful appearance of Concubine Shu, and couldn't help but laugh in her heart.
More than coquettish, more beautiful than younger? Which point of your concubine is my opponent? Do you still expect the emperor to take a look at you?
The beautiful woman secretly rolled her eyes, approached Ling Chu's side affectionately, and said coquettishly: "Your Majesty, Sister Shufei and the princess are not compatible. Who doesn't know that Concubine Shu's sister's daughter-in-law, Concubine Lu, is at odds with the Qing family? Maybe my sister just wants to take the opportunity to bring down the princess! ”
She pursed her mouth, tilted her head and thought about it, and suddenly smiled and said, "In my opinion, although this move is risky, the odds are quite high!" It's just that now, I don't know where something went wrong, so that Sister Shufei lost her head......"
As she spoke, her voice was slowly lowering, because Concubine Shu's knife-like eyes seemed to tear her out of a few holes, so she timidly hid behind Ling Chu.
She was born beautiful, and her every move was like a fox possessed, and Ling Chu was also fascinated by this, where would she be willing to be wronged?
Ling Chu's long arm stretched out to wrap around the slender waist of the beautiful woman, and comforted him softly: "Don't be afraid. ”
Such a soft voice and doting tone, once upon a time, she also said it to Concubine Shu, but she didn't remember how long she hadn't heard such words again, and she was so angry that her liver hurt.
Ling Chu soothed the beautiful woman this time, and turned to look at Concubine Shu, her eyes were not as gentle as before, but they were cool and refreshing. (To be continued......)
