Chapter 320: Who is it?
Shen Ruohua took the recipe and handed it to the palace maid, and the Queen Mother looked at her in a big red silk dress, and frowned slightly: "Yes, today is the day of your marriage to the Qi family's boy, you have entered the palace, I am afraid that the British Mansion will be in chaos." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
She rubbed the corners of her forehead and asked Mama Meng, "What time is it?" ”
Mama Meng looked at the hour and said in a low voice, "The time has passed." ”
The Queen Mother raised her head and looked at Shen Ruohua: "I have wronged you too, and I have to stay in the palace on the auspicious day of marriage." She instructed Mama Meng: "Let people go to the British Mansion to spread the edict, reward the family and son from the prince of Yipin, and the lady of the Shen family will be rewarded, and the queen is unwell, so that the Shen family will stay in the palace for the time being, and then perform the full ceremony another day." ”
Mama Meng and Shen Ruohua were both surprised, Qi Mingrui is the eldest son of the British Duke, the British Duke is the duke of the first grade, and the position of the prince is only from the second grade, but now the Queen Mother has rewarded the official position of Prince Qi Mingrui Shaobao, there are no heirs today, and the official positions of the East Palace are all false, but the prince Shaobao has always been from the grade of the first grade, Qi Mingrui will be a lot higher than Qi Mingxuan who has worked hard to get the position of the prince in the future, which is obviously to control the British Duke and the Fu family.
Mama Meng was naturally happy for Qi Mingrui, and hurriedly said, "I'll go." ”
Shen Ruohua couldn't help frowning, the Queen Mother meant to keep her in the palace, at least until this matter was settled, it was impossible to let her out of the palace. Her heart sank, she had been caught up in the most dangerous conspiracy in this palace, and if she was not careful, she was afraid that she would be buried in it.
She looked at the Queen Mother sitting on the upper seat, her heart became colder and colder, and she bowed down and said, "Thank you for the grace of the Queen Mother." ”
The Queen Mother waved her hand and instructed the palace maid on the side: "Take Female Doctor Shen to Xiafei Hall to rest." She still has a lot of things to think about and prepare, and she can't let Shen Ruohua know that she no longer trusts everyone around her now.
Shen Ruohua was taken to the Xiafei Hall not far from the Taiji Palace, which was an idle palace and a place for foreign women who stayed in the palace. The palace maid pushed open the door of the hall and said respectfully to Shen Ruohua: "Doctor Shen, please rest in the hall, if you have any orders, just say it to the palace maid who is waiting here." ”
Shen Ruohua smiled bitterly, looking at the seven or eight palace maids waiting outside the hall, where can there be so many people in the service, it seems that she is under house arrest. She nodded, "You stand down." ”
Before the palace maid stepped back, she said again: "Let someone send a dress, I want to change the dress on my body." "She entered the palace in a hurry, and she was wearing a wedding dress, which was very inconvenient in the palace.
The palace maid couldn't help but glance at Shen Ruohua's dress, retreated, and quickly brought a new set of female official dresses, which were purple first-grade female official uniforms, as if they had been prepared for a long time.
Shen Ruohua thanked her, took the dress and closed the door of the palace, changed out of the red and colorful gold silk veil, and put it on the couch to look at the hair, she couldn't tell what it was like at this time, originally at this time she had already paid a full salute to Qi Mingrui in the British Mansion and became a husband and wife, but now she had to be placed under house arrest in the palace, facing the upcoming future I don't know how dangerous it will be.
Lying in the empty hall, the dim oil lamp bursts a lamp from time to time, this palace is not as luxurious and comfortable as the Ciming Palace, there is only this couch in the empty hall, and a small case, it is very simple, there are often overnight women who say that they listen to the palace maids, and they all say that the space of this palace is too big and very scary.
But Shen Ruohua didn't feel afraid, she was a person who had died once, in this deep palace, she tried to protect herself for more than ten years, and when she was about to leave to marry Dongping Palace, she was poisoned in the palace with the poison of the opportunity, so she has nothing to fear in this deep palace, and in her eyes, those ghosts and gods are far less terrifying than people's hearts.
It's just strange that she has entered the palace so many times, but she has never heard anyone talk about the county lord of Yongjia, whether she is alive or died inexplicably, no one has mentioned it, and the people in the palace and your mansion can also avoid mentioning it, it is obviously very wrong, the original county lord of Yongjia is famous in the government and the opposition, and suddenly it is so secretive, coupled with the cause of death that no one knows, it really makes people have to doubt.
Shen Ruohua thought about it slowly, and since she came back to life, she has been thinking about finding out who did it in the first place and wanted to take her life. With her identity at the time, she was just an orphan of a vassal king, even if she was raised in the Ciming Palace, she was okay with anyone, after all, she was going to marry into the Dongping Royal Mansion soon, and she had nothing to do with the royal family, so there was really no reason for anyone to get rid of a woman like her.
But now that I think about it, the county lord of Yongjia was poisoned to death that day, but the queen mother and the palace had no intention of investigating the cause of her death, the only reason was that the queen mother already knew the cause of the death of the county lord of Yongjia, and the person who really wanted to take her life made the queen mother taboo, and would rather let the county lord of Yongjia die unexplained, and also concealed the cause of her death and no longer mentioned her.
Who will it be? Who can make the Empress Dowager Shao, who is in charge of the government, avoid the three houses, and is willing to let the lord of Yongjia, who has been raised in the Ciming Palace for more than ten years, die in the palace like this.
Shen Ruohua's heart suddenly moved, she sat up suddenly, looking at the flickering oil lamp with a pale face, her rapid breathing did not calm down for a long time, she may have guessed who it was, but this mystery is getting bigger and bigger, and more things make her unable to figure it out.
The sky was slightly glowing with blue and white morning light, and there were a few sparse stars hanging in the sky, but the light of the oil lamp in the Xia Fei Hall was never extinguished, Shen Ruohua sat on the couch with her knees hugged, looking at the faint light cast outside the thin window paper, her expression was no longer the shock and struggle of the previous night, but it was cold.
"Knock knock knock ......" The knock sounded softly, Shen Ruohua only regarded it as a palace maid, and said coldly: "What's the matter?" ”
Qi Mingrui's voice sounded outside the door: "Are you okay?" ”
Shen Ruohua couldn't help but be shocked, and got down from the couch and said in surprise: "It's you, how can you ...... Why ...... at this time" She wanted to ask Qi Mingrui why he had entered the palace so early, and he was still waiting for her outside the palace.
Qi Mingrui's voice outside the hall was still calm: "I was on duty in the guard yesterday, and I handed a sign to the palace to ask to see the Queen Mother as soon as I got off duty, and the Queen Mother allowed me to enter the palace, and asked Mama Meng to tell me that you are in the Xiafei Palace, and I will come." His voice paused, "Can you open the door and let me in?" Or do you want to talk through the door like this? ”
Shen Ruohua was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help laughing on her face, she knew that Qi Mingrui was coming, and her heart was confused, forgetting that he came early in the morning to see her, and she was still talking to him with the door of the palace closed. She stepped forward quickly to open the door of the temple, but suddenly stopped, straightened her dress, stroked her hair and temples, and then opened the door, looking up at Qi Mingrui, who was full of worry and concern, and smiled calmly: "Please come in." ”
