Chapter 156: Associate Sixth Palace
"Concubine Ning asked the slave to do all this, if the slave and the maid did not obey, she would kill the slave and the maid. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info "Sheng Qingfeng cried sincerely, but he really looked pitiful and restrained.
Concubine Ning's face was so gloomy that she seemed to be able to drip water, she reacted quickly, quickly turned around and curtsied at Rong Bingye, lowered her head and said earnestly: "Your Majesty, don't believe the words of this slave, she said that it was the concubine who instigated her, and she must come up with evidence for everything." ”
Concubine Xian nodded slightly: "Sister Concubine Ning is reasonable, just a few words of this slave really can't prove that it is Sister Concubine Ning, I hope Your Majesty will see it." ”
Rong Bingye's sword eyebrows frowned slightly, his eyes were frosty, and he said in a deep voice: "You said that Concubine Ning instructed you to do this, is there any evidence?" ”
Sheng Qingfeng nodded again and again: "The slave has evidence to prove it." ”
"Where's the evidence?"
"The evidence is a jade wrench, pressed under the pillow in the slave's room." Sheng Qingfeng said busily.
"Go search." Rong Bingye commanded in a deep voice, and after a while, Huan Yuqi came back with the palace people, and presented a clear jasper wrench with both hands.
Seeing this, Yu Ronghua saw the jade wrench finger in Rong Bingye's hand, and couldn't help but say softly: "How can a jade wrench finger alone prove that Concubine Ning Niangniang is the person behind the scenes, not to mention, this jade wrench finger is not a woman's personal ornament, if this is evidence, the concubine feels that there is nothing to support at all." ”
"Concubine Ning, do you recognize this?" Rong Bingye's eyebrows seemed to be covered with autumn frost, and he asked in a deep voice.
Concubine Ning only raised her head and glanced at the jade wrench, and the look on her face paused slightly, Su Dai saw that her pupils constricted, but in an instant, they returned to flatness, and there were no more waves.
"The concubine has never seen this jade wrench." Concubine Ning's voice was faint, and there was no fluctuation on her face.
Yu Ronghua said in a condensed voice: "It's ridiculous to claim that this is evidence just by taking such a thing that can be seen everywhere. ”
Sheng Qingfeng saw that everyone present had different expressions on their faces, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this jade wrench finger was given to the slave by Wan Feiyang Wangong, the head of Yuxiu Palace, that day, he came to find the slave and maid, and told the slave and maid the intention of Concubine Ning, the slave and the maid did not agree, and then he threatened the slave and the maid, saying that the slave and the maid already knew about it anyway, if they did not agree, there would be only a dead end, anyway, no one cared about one more or less palace maid in the palace, and then the slave and maid really had no choice but to agree to act for the tiger. ”
Concubine Xian frowned and said, "Then what is the reason for this jade wrench?" ”
"After intimidating the slave and maid, Gonggong Wan appeased the slave and maid, saying that as long as he did something for Concubine Ning, the benefits would definitely be indispensable to the slave and maid, and then he casually took off the jade wrench in his hand and gave it to the slave and maid, saying that he would let the slave and maid take it first, and after the matter was completed, Concubine Ning would have a heavy reward." Sheng Qingfeng lowered his head and argued.
Rong Bingye's lips tightened into a line, and he said coldly: "Bring Wan Feiyang up!" ”
Huan Yuqi hurriedly agreed, and took the order to leave.
Concubine Xian stepped forward and comforted softly: "Your Majesty, don't be angry, maybe that slave did it alone, and it has nothing to do with Concubine Ning's sister?" ”
Concubine Ning's eyes flashed a trace of fierceness, Sheng Jing, a slut, said the words to death, seemingly well-intentioned to reconcile, but in fact, he secretly added firewood to the fire.
Sure enough, before she was born to refute, she heard Rong Bingye's cold voice reach her ears: "It's okay? If you can't even manage a minion, don't sit on her throne as the head of the palace! ”
"Your Majesty has been wronged, the concubine has never thought of framing Concubine Yi's sister and blaming the virtuous concubine Niangniang, Wan Feiyang is the eunuch in charge of the concubine's palace, but the concubine has never ordered him to do such a thing." When Concubine Ning said this, she raised her eyes to look at Rong Bingye, there were tears floating in her eyes, and her expression was sad, "The concubine has served Your Majesty for twelve years, and you have known each other for the past twelve years, doesn't Your Majesty know what a concubine is?" ”
"The concubine has been with Your Majesty for so many years, and she has never asked Your Majesty for anything, if it is said that the concubine is jealous of Concubine Yi's sister, but since Concubine Yi's sister entered the palace, His Majesty's mind is gradually not on the concubine, but how can the concubine ever complain about Your Majesty? Jiayang always asked the concubine why her father didn't go to see her, and the concubine had to say that His Majesty was too busy, but Your Majesty, Jiayang counted the days every day, and His Majesty hadn't visited her for two months. ”
She said sadly, Su Dai raised his eyes to look at Rong Bingye's expression, and sure enough, the coldness on his face fluctuated slightly, only to hear him sigh deeply: "You get up first." ”
Yu Ronghua hurriedly helped Concubine Ning up, Concubine Ning stood there, the tears on her face had already been completed, and I felt pity when I saw it.
At this moment, Huan Yuqi came back with Wan Feiyang.
As soon as Wan Feiyang entered the palace gate, he was busy saluting the masters, and he didn't know why His Majesty summoned him over, but his heart seemed to be hanging in the air, until he entered the palace gate, and there was a trace of ominous premonition in his heart.
"Wan Feiyang."
"The minions are here." Wan Feiyang didn't dare to think nonsense, and replied with his head down.
"Do you recognize this?" As soon as Rong Bingye's words fell, Huan Yuqi walked in front of Wan Feiyang with a jade wrench, Wan Feiyang looked up, panicked, and quickly raised his eyes to look at Concubine Ning, but saw Concubine Ning's lips pursed lightly, with a warning look in his eyes, he hurriedly withdrew his gaze, and said with a stammer: "Qi ...... Your Majesty, Servant ...... The minions don't recognize this thing. ”
"You really don't recognize you?" Rong Bingye asked in a deep voice with a cold look in his eyes.
Wan Feiyang's forehead was covered with dense cold sweat, and he stammered: "Yes...... Slave...... The minions had never seen anything like this. ”
"Huh......" Suddenly, there was an exclamation from where the concubines in the hall were standing.
Everyone followed the prestige, only to see Shumei look at everyone with a sense of humor, and muttered softly: "The concubine has seen this jade wrench." ”
Rong Bingye looked at her and asked, "Where have you seen it?" ”
"Your Majesty, the concubine has indeed seen Manager Wan wear this jade wrench." Shumei lowered her head and whispered a little uneasily, "Everyone in Yuxiu Palace should have seen it." ”
Since Concubine Yi was imprisoned, the entire Weiyang Palace was blocked, Yan Guiren and Shumei were ordered to move out of Weiyang Palace, and the two of them took out the Yuxiu Palace where Concubine Ning was located, and lived separately in the east and west palaces, since she can say such a thing, but it is also somewhat credible.
Rong Bingye laughed angrily, slammed the jade wrench in Huan Yan's hand, and threw it on the ground, his eyes were cold, and he shouted: "What a dog slave with sharp teeth, I want to make up my mind not to admit it!" The jade wrench was slammed to the ground, and with a crisp sound, the jasper wrench was shattered.
The virtuous concubine said with a worried look in her eyes: "Your Majesty should be careful of your body, why bother with a minion, since the evidence is conclusive, just deal with it directly." ”
"You still don't admit it! Did Concubine Ning instruct you! Rong Bingye scolded in a fierce voice.
Wan Feiyang's face was full of horror, he looked up at Concubine Ning, but heard Rong Bingye shouting: "What do you still see her doing, don't you know yourself!" ”
Wan Feiyang trembled, trembling and kneeling on the ground and not daring to make a sound.
At this moment, Sheng Qingfeng, who had been kneeling aside, cried out: "How can you not admit it!" It was you who drugged Concubine Yi, I don't agree, you still threaten me, now that the incident has happened, how can you want me to take the blame alone! ”
Wan Feiyang listened to her words, turned his face and reprimanded: "Nonsense, I don't know you at all, when did you let you go to harm Concubine Yi!" ”
"Then isn't this jade wrench yours?" Wen Zhaoyi, who had not spoken for a long time, spoke.
When Wan Feiyang heard this, he asked him again, he looked hesitant on his face, lowered his head and kept silent.
At this moment, Concubine Ning suddenly walked in front of Wan Feiyang, raised her hand and slapped him fiercely, and said sharply: "Bastard, this palace treats you so well, you actually calculated the best concubine sister in this palace, so far, do you still think that if you don't admit it, Your Majesty can save you from death?" ”
After she finished beating Wan Feiyang, she knelt down and bowed her head and said: "Your Majesty, the concubine just remembered that this jade wrench was indeed rewarded to him by the concubine, and the concubine has long forgotten about it." But the concubine never let Wan Feiyang do such a thing, it was the concubine who had no way to govern, and hoped that His Majesty would punish her. ”
Wan Feiyang's face was full of confusion, he covered his hot cheeks with one hand, and his eyes were full of disbelief.
Concubine Ning was still kneeling on the ground, and she couldn't hear Wan Feiyang speak for a long time, she looked back and scolded sharply: "Why don't you admit your guilt!" His Majesty is about to send Jiang Feng's clansmen, such a big rebellious charge, do you also want to implicate your clansmen? Confess and be lenient, and Your Majesty may be able to take it lightly. ”
The pupils of Wan Feiyang's eyes shrank slightly, and after a while, he kept kowtowing and begging for mercy: "Your Majesty, don't blame Concubine Ning Niangniang, this matter is all done by the slave alone, it is the slave who is not used to Concubine Yi's sole favor, but let the Niangniang sit in Yuxiu Palace overnight and night, Concubine Ning Niangniang has the grace of reinvention to the slave, and the slave doesn't want the mother to be sad, so he is ruthless, the matter is planned by the slave, and the Niangniang has nothing to do with it. But the slave begged His Majesty not to anger Concubine Ning Niangniang. ”
As he spoke, he kept kowtowing, and in a few moments blood came out of his forehead.
Concubine Ning had tears in her eyes, and said in a choked voice: "You are really confused, this palace promoted you when I saw that you were clever, I thought you were an upright person, but I didn't expect you to do such a foolish thing and make Concubine Yi's sister suffer, I knew that this was the case, this palace would not have promoted you at that time, and let you fend for yourself." ”
Wan Feiyang was still kowtowing, and his forehead was blurred: "The slave knew that he was wrong, and he betrayed the mother's trust in the slave." ”
Rong Bingye finally waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "Drag it out and kill it." ”
Wan Feiyang didn't dare to argue, and when he was dragged out by the two little eunuchs, he also shouted loudly: "Please don't blame Niangniang, the matter is all done by the slave alone, and it has nothing to do with Niangniang." ”
Concubine Ning looked at Rong Bingye with tears in her eyes, and choked up: "Your Majesty, the concubine is guilty, I hope Your Majesty will punish her." ”
Rong Bingye sighed heavily and said, "Youlan, you are also tired, I think you should recuperate for a period of time first, and the power of the six palaces of this assistant will be handed over to Concubine Yi first." ”
Concubine Ning's eyes were stunned, she pursed her lips, and finally lowered her body, and said softly: "Yes, the concubine obeys the order." ”
Seeing this, Concubine Xian hurriedly stepped forward and said softly: "Your Majesty, Concubine Yi's sister is now pregnant, Lord Chen instructed her to have a good birth, if you hand over the power of the assistant six palaces to Concubine Yi's sister, I am afraid that it will be inconvenient, but it will distract Sister Yi's sister and not be able to raise the fetus well." ”
"Well, you do have a point." Rong Bingye bowed slightly, he turned around and looked down at Su Dai, only to see that her eyes were cold and silent, without any expression, he couldn't help but sigh lightly.
Concubine Xian smiled slightly: "Otherwise, let Wen Zhaoyi come to help the concubine govern the six palaces, the concubine looks at Wen Zhaoyi's cleverness, she did not accompany her to Yuhuatai to stay in the Li Palace this summer, she is in good order, no matter how big or small, the concubine thinks that if Wen Zhaoyi can help the concubine, it will be easier to deal with the affairs of this harem." ”
"Isn't Wen Zhaoyi going to take care of the second prince? Lang'er has been sick and weak, lingering on the sickbed all the year round, she has to take care of him enough, how to let her take time out to assist in the affairs of the sixth palace? Rong Bingye didn't agree very much, frowned and said, he originally thought that he would be the assistant manager of the sixth palace after all, anyway, Zhuozhuo is pregnant now, and the virtuous concubine should not trouble her with things.
Seeing this, Wen Zhaoyi hurriedly curtsied and said: "It is a great honor for the concubine to share the worries of His Majesty and the concubine, and Lang'er is now much better than before, and on the day after His Royal Highness the Prince's wedding, he can still come from the palace to meet the eldest sister-in-law, which shows that the search for medical treatment over the years has indeed been effective." ”
Concubine Xian also smiled: "That's true, the concubine also met the second prince two days ago, and found that his complexion was better than before, and his face was a lot ruddy." For this reason, Wen Zhaoyi was happy in her heart, and the whole person was plump. ”
Rong Bingye listened to the words of the two of them, nodded and said: "Since this is the case, Wen Zhaoyi will temporarily act as Concubine Yi's assistant to the six palaces, and after Concubine Yi gives birth to the imperial heir, she will return the power of the six palaces to Concubine Yi." ”
Wen Zhaoyi was unwilling, and was about to open her mouth to continue saying something, but she saw that the virtuous concubine smiled: "Wen Zhaoyi, don't thank you yet." ”
Hearing Concubine Xian say this, she had no choice but to salute and say: "The concubine bows to thank Your Majesty for your grace, and the concubine will live up to Your Majesty's expectations, and will do her best to help the concubine Niangniang govern the six palaces." ”
"Alright, now that the matter has been settled, let's all step down." Rong Bingye waved his hand, and said with a faint expression, "Let the Shanggong Bureau immediately write a holy decree and come out to tell the Six Palaces." ”
When the concubines saw him say this, they knew that the dust had settled, so they saluted in unison: "The concubines (concubines) retire." ”
Wen Zhaoyi and Concubine Xiangui walked out of Weiyang Palace, and the two slowly got on the Yiyu, and the Yiyu walked back along the palace road.
Wen Zhaoyi said unwillingly: "Niangniang......"
Concubine Xian raised her hand slightly, interrupting her words, until she walked through a palace gate, she said lightly: "What's the hurry, so uncontrollable!" ”
"Your Majesty only allowed the concubine to temporarily act as Concubine Yi's assistant to the Sixth Palace, we have done so much, is it difficult to finally make wedding clothes for her, not to mention that Concubine Yi's stomach has nothing to do!" Wen Zhaoyi looked angry and said in a low voice.
Concubine Xian lowered her eyes slightly, gently fiddled with the Buddha beads on her wrist, and said indifferently: "Since ancient times, women giving birth to children have been closed in the ghost gate, and you will see if she has the blessing to take back the power of the six palaces." What's more, this is still seven or eight months before she gives birth, and no one can guarantee that there will be no omissions in Weiyang Palace.
