Chapter 183: Coercion and Temptation
Everyone's eyes suddenly turned to Cen Guiren, who had been looking down in the room. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Cen Luli raised her eyes, her eyes were full of surprise, Rong Bingye's gaze fell on her heavily, only to hear him say coldly: "You and her are handkerchiefs?" ”
Cen Lu's reaction was extremely fast, he bowed his knees, and said calmly: "The concubine is a handkerchief with the history of the Chu woman, but the matter of the concubine's slippery tire has nothing to do with the concubine." Sister Jin Concubine is deeply blessed, and soon after entering the palace, she has an imperial heir, and the concubine is naturally happy for her in her heart, but I don't know why Sister Jin Concubine insists that she is a concubine? ”
Yu An immediately understood the words of her little master, and she knelt on the ground with a puff: "The slave is talkative, since the little master of Jin Concubine is pregnant, she is very dissatisfied with His Majesty's call to the little master to sleep, so she has repeatedly found a way to punish the little master, and the concubine Jin slipped this time, so she insisted that it was the little master, there are many doubts in it, and I hope Your Majesty will know it!" ”
"Cen Luquinoa, you slut! You're spewing blood! Through the screen, there was a heart-rending cry of Jin Concubine, and the screams were almost reaching the sky.
Listening to her words, Su Dai lowered his eyes slightly, and chuckled in his heart, Jin Concubine still can't calculate Cen Guiren, whether in the past or in the future, she will never be Cen Lu's opponent, and Jin Concubine's future is really in sight.
Sure enough, regardless of whether Jin Concubine was in the pain of losing her son in the new calendar, Rong Bingye still sank her face, and her voice was gloomy: "I never know, who I call to sleep has to be agreed by others." ”
When Concubine Jin, who was lying on the soft couch, heard this, her already haggard face suddenly turned white, and she muttered with her lips, "Concubine don't dare." ”
Rong Bingye snorted coldly and ignored her.
However, Concubine Ning lightly opened her lips and said: "Your Majesty, since Chu Qin is suspected, if you are brought into the Jin Torture Court, under the heavy punishment, you will definitely say everything." ”
Concubine Ning's words couldn't help but make Su Dai suspicious, Concubine Ning was not such a brainless person, why would she open her mouth to send Chu Qin to the Jin Torture Hospital?
"Sister Concubine Ning, the matter hasn't been clarified yet, and the history of Chu Nushi only sends fetal pills to Concubine Jin every day, and what she does is just running errands, how can she be conclusively identified as her?" Thinking of this, Su Dai spoke softly, staring at Concubine Ning with a smile in his eyes, "According to Concubine Yichen, the one who decocts the medicine is the most suspicious." This was said to Rong Bingye.
Concubine Ning was firmly stared at by her eyes, but she was also very calm, and smiled lightly: "Is it me who is confused, or my sister is thoughtful." ”
The person in charge of decoction is the last palace maid in the Department of Medicine, and unlike a female official like Chu Qin, the background of the female official is probably that she was left with a brand in the draft, but she was retained as an official lady in the palace.
The little palace maid Rui'er is not very old, she looks like she is only fifteen or sixteen years old.
When she was brought in, she trembled with fright, and she kept her head down and didn't dare to look up.
"Your Majesty spares your life! The slave maid is just the last palace maid of the medicine department, and she has never been able to contact the medicine pavilion of the medicine department, and the slave and maid don't know any morning glory at all! Ruier was so frightened by the scene in front of her that she burst into tears, and she only knew how to defend herself.
Today's scene is very similar to the day when Sheng Han'an gave birth, and the same is true, many people were summoned to inquire one by one, but finally found a record of Zhu Zhi's use of aconite in the record of the Department of Medicine.
Thinking of this, Su Dai looked at Rong Bingye and said softly, "Doesn't it mean that all the medicinal materials flowing out of the Pharmaceutical Division will be recorded?" Just look at the records of the pharmaceutical department? ”
Rong Bingye bowed slightly, Huan understood what was going on, and hurriedly took someone to the Department of Medicine.
Chu Qin reacted suddenly, she suddenly remembered that a few days ago she had asked Sun Zhangyao because of the morning glory, Sun Zhangyao said at the time that she would inquire about the matter, but looking at the current state of affairs, thinking that Sun Zhangyao did not investigate, Chu Qin lowered his eyes and quickly thought about this matter, if Sun Zhangyao knew about this matter but did not investigate, then does this matter have anything to do with her?
Thinking of this, Chu Qin subconsciously looked at Sun Zhangyao, but saw that she was just kneeling on the ground, lowering her head and not knowing what she was thinking.
After a while, Huan Yuqi came back with the booklet, and he frowned and said to Rong Bingye: "Your Majesty, the whereabouts of the morning glory recorded in the booklet are unknown. ”
Missing? Rong Bingye sneered, and his sharp gaze swept towards the people who were kneeling outside the house.
Su Dai also looked outside, only to see Fang Siyao, who was the leader, in shock.
"Your Majesty, this booklet has always been recorded by the history of the women of Chu." Sun Zhangyao suddenly spoke.
Chu Qin's eyes gradually sank, yes, it's her, she had told herself before that she would check, but she didn't solve the whereabouts of the morning glory, no, or she did it on purpose......
"Chu Qin!" Fang Siyao's eyes were gloomy, and he scolded angrily, "What else do you have to say?" ”
"Fang Siyao, the whereabouts of the morning glory are unknown, the slave maid had already told Sun Zhangyao five days ago, she said she would check, and the slave maid thought she had told you."
Sun Zhangyao looked surprised, and turned his eyes to glare at Chu Qin, "Why did you tell me?" You can't just arrest people and go into the water in order to get rid of suspicion first! ”
Chu Qin exhaled heavily, she told herself in her heart that she must not panic, this is a trap, since it is a trap, there will inevitably be loopholes, she must not panic, all the details must be quickly passed, there must be something to prove herself.
The people behind the scenes are not here for themselves, they are just a little girl in the medicine department, and the real purpose is Sister Lu Quinoa, but Sister Lu Qu is just a noble person who has just entered the palace, even if she has been quite favored recently, it is just the light of a candle, and it can't affect those who are in high positions at all.
So maybe Sister Lu is just being taken along, and she is not the ultimate goal of the people behind the scenes?
can let Sun Zhangyao cooperate, and the people behind the scenes must not be nobles and others, and they should be above the concubine position.
"Come on, put Chu Qin in the Jin Criminal Court for trial!" Rong Bingye said in a deep voice.
Chu Qin only felt that something flashed in her mind, and she could only be sure that Sun Zhangyao had framed her now.
"Your Majesty! Listen to the slave again! If it is based on Sun Zhangyao's words alone, I am afraid that I will not be able to convince the slave maid, if so, the slave maid also has something to say! Just when the two little eunuchs were about to step forward and drag Chu Qin away, she shouted loudly.
Rong Bingye waved his hand, and the two little eunuchs stopped.
Chu Qin said quickly: "Your Majesty, the slave maid was wronged, as early as five days ago, Sun Zhangyao already knew about the unknown whereabouts of the Morning Glory, but she knew it and didn't report it, and pretended not to know about it, and before that, she withdrew the slave maid to replace Yingxia's errand. ”
In any case, she has to drag Sun Zhangyao into the water, even if she dies, she has to pull her back.
At this moment, I only heard Concubine Ning lightly open her lips and said: "Your Majesty, the concubine thinks that Chu Qin is reasonable, but now there is no conclusive evidence to prove that it was Chu Qin's doing, and Sun Zhangyao is also suspicious." ”
Rong Bingye nodded and said, "Put Chu Qin and Sun Zhangyao together in the Jin Torture Court to await trial!" ”
After a pause, he looked at Cen Lu again, frowned and said, "It seems that the noble Cen is not allowed to take half a step without my will." ”
Jin Concubine lost her son, Cen Guiren was imprisoned again, for a while, the two most favored among the new concubines were suppressed in this way, and returned to Qiluan Palace, Su Dai thought about it, but the more he thought about it, the more wrong it became.
She only felt that things were very strange, it seemed that the spearhead was Cen Lu, but there was no evidence to prove that it was her, if the person behind the scenes really wanted to frame her, it was impossible not to even get the evidence, then the only possibility was that Cen Luqu was not the ultimate goal, and the people behind the scenes really recognized it, and there was someone else?
The night gradually enveloped the entire Yuhuatai, the moonlight poured on the ground like water, and the palace gradually returned to tranquility, only the sound of frogs sounded one after another.
After Ling Shunyi coaxed the five princes in her arms to sleep, she handed over the five princes to the nurse.
As soon as the nurse stepped back, she saw Su'e walking in quickly.
"What's the matter, so flustered?" Ling Shunyi couldn't help but scold, and as she spoke, she raised her hand and slowly took off the step on her sideburns.
"Little master, Concubine Ning is here." Su E leaned close to Lingshunyi's ear and whispered.
Ling Shunyi was shocked, why did Concubine Ning come, "Why hasn't anyone spread it?" ”
Before Su'e could speak, she heard the door of the house being pushed open, and a woman carrying a sheep's horn palace lamp walked in, she was dressed in a bamboo-blue cloak, and her wide hat almost hid her face in light and shadow.
"Concubine Ning?" Ling Shunyi hurriedly stood up from the round stool in front of the makeup mirror.
Concubine Ning raised her fingers lightly, slowly took off her hat, a pair of Danfeng's eyes were full of coldness, I saw her lightly glance at Su'e in the room, Ling Shunyi was busy understanding, and instructed Su'e: "You go down first." ”
Su'e agreed, turned around and walked out, and closed the door with her hand.
There were only two of her left in the house, Concubine Ning visited at night, and Ling Shunyi really couldn't figure out what she wanted.
"Mother, it's dark at night, but what's the matter?"
Concubine Ning sat down and said softly: "Qi Xuan, since you followed this palace, this palace seems to have never treated you poorly. ”
Ling Shunyi cautiously said: "Niangniang is very good to concubines. "Don't dare to say more, before she figured out Concubine Ning's intention.
"How is your father?" Concubine Ning looked at the cautious Lingshunyi with lazy eyes, and said lightly.
Ling Shunyi was originally a dancing girl in the Yuhua Taile Department, and was sold by her father since she was a child, and later after she followed Concubine Ning, Concubine Ning asked the Marquis of Zhongyong to find an errand for her father, who was originally just a person who only knew how to gamble, but now he has become a court official and made a small county in Xuzhou.
But Concubine Ning asked her father why at this time?
After thinking about it for a while, she thought about it and said: "The letter from the family, my father has the care of Master Ming, and his career is quite smooth, but my father is really not an official, but he has caused a lot of trouble to his mother." As she spoke, she bowed slightly to Concubine Ning.
Concubine Ning waved her hand, "Your father can be an official, but it is all thanks to you, and your mother's life at home is much better." ”
Ling Shunyi was suddenly shocked in her heart, how could Concubine Ning know the situation in her family in such detail, her father was a good gambler, and he always beat his mother when he lost money, and later sold himself in order to repay the money, and now she has become a palace concubine, and she has the care of Concubine Ning's mother's family, listening to her mother's letter, her father is much better to her mother, and she is also complacent about being able to become a national prince.
It's just that why did Concubine Ning mention her mother? She hated her father, but she still couldn't rest assured of her mother.
"Thanks to the blessing of the mother, the concubine and the concubine's mother's family can have today all thanks to the mother." Ling Shunyi lowered her head and said.
Concubine Ning nodded, chuckled and said, "In that case, the time has come for you to repay your kindness." ”
Ling Shunyi sighed in her heart, but she still replied on her face: "Niangniang's kindness, the concubine can't repay it, as long as the concubine needs the concubine, the concubine will not give up." ”
Concubine Ning smiled and picked up Lingshunyi, and said softly: "This palace needs you to help this palace do something." As he spoke, he attached himself to Lingshunyi's ear and whispered something.
With Concubine Ning's words, Ling Shunyi's face gradually turned pale, and her hands and feet almost collapsed to the ground.
After Concubine Ning finished speaking, Ling Shunyi was still silent in a huge shock and couldn't come back to her senses.
"Don't worry, as long as you help this palace do this, this palace will ensure that your father will be prosperous from now on, and the five princes, this palace will also treat it as its own." The corners of Concubine Ning's lips were still full of smiles, and her fingers gently straightened the crooked steps of Ling Shunyi's sideburns, and her eyes were full of tenderness, as if she was just talking to Ling Shunyi.
Suddenly, the kneeling crowd subconsciously looked towards Yingxia, Yingxia was frightened, hurriedly knelt on the ground, and kept kowtowing: "Niangniang Mingjian, Jin Concubine's fetal medicine is indeed the slave and maid is responsible, but in recent days, the slave and maid have been unwell, and Sun Zhangyao has let Chu Qin replace the slave and maid, so the matter of the little master of Jin Concubine has nothing to do with the slave and maid!" ”
Chu Qin sighed in her heart, yes, the situation in the past few days has been extremely weird, first she took over the errand of Yingxia, and then Jin Concubine took the initiative to show goodwill, but now Jin Concubine has an accident.
It's like a trap, everything is laid out, just waiting for her to jump in, but she knows that something is wrong, but there is no way out.
"Where is Chu Qin?" Concubine Xian asked in a deep voice.
Chu Qin hurriedly said: "The slave is here." ”
"What do you have to say?"
Chu Qin lowered her head, a trace of annoyance flashed in her eyes, she quickly organized the information in her mind that was beneficial to herself, and after thinking for a moment, she said: "As Yingxia said, it is the slave maid who has been in charge of the fetal pills of the little master of Jin Concubine recently. But the decoction is not the responsibility of the slave maid, since it is the discovery of the dregs of the morning glory, the morning glory must have been thrown into it when the decoction was made, please Niang Niang Mingjian! ”
Concubine Xian listened to Chu Qin's words, did not speak, but just looked at Rong Bingye, who had a gloomy face in the room.
Ying Xia stared back at Chu Qin, and retorted sharply: "Although the decoction of the medicine department is rigorous, but you are the person of the medicine department, if you want to do things in the fetal pills, it is really easy." ”
Chu Qin stared at Ying Xia with cold eyes, and said expressionlessly: "In order to prevent such a situation from occurring, the master of Fang Si Yao stipulates that everyone in the Fang Si Yao Department is not allowed to interfere in the affairs of others, and the decoction is naturally responsible for the decoction, and the slave strictly abides by the rules of Fang Si Yao, according to Ying Xia's words, she knows everything about this matter, either the morning glory or you threw it in." ”
Jin Sezhai is not big, a screen separates the inside and outside, and the words that Chu Qin knelt in front of the door and said came into the house word for word.
At this moment, I only heard a female voice full of hatred but slightly crying from the screen, "It's her!" She and Cen Luqu are handkerchiefs, Cen Luqu remembers that the concubine obviously entered the palace with her, but she had an imperial heir before her, it must be her, please ask Your Majesty to make the decision for the concubine! ”
