Chapter 118: When will the waves stop?
"What?" Wang Zhengjun was shocked when he heard this, his eyes were heavy, and his heart was almost jumping to his throat. It came so suddenly and so unexpectedly that it caught people off guard. She calmed herself down, but asked Lingjuan anxiously, "When did you find out that Mama Chen was killed?" How was she killed, but there is any physical evidence? ”
"I found it this morning when the jailer was eating, and I heard that it was a flying arrow that pierced the throat and killed him on the spot. Apart from this murder weapon, no human evidence or other physical evidence has been found. Ling Juan replied respectfully and seriously, without thinking. Wang Zhengjun listened, and frowned, "The murderer is so skillful and steady, coming and going without a trace, and he is not discovered by anyone, which shows that this person is very familiar with the terrain in the palace." It seems that nine times out of ten, he was instructed by someone in the palace. ”
"It must be Fu Jieyu." Yazhu was simple-minded and blurted out, but he looked very sure. "Don't guess yet." Wang Zhengjun quickly interrupted her. The chaotic thoughts were followed by a hint of panic. Mama Chen was ordered by her to be imprisoned, and it stands to reason that no one would dare to kill people in the palace so boldly. Could it be that Fu Yao really wants to kill people and kill people? But Fu Yao is deeply favored by the Empress Dowager and the emperor, and since she has always been arrogant and domineering, she has admitted that she was the one who misinformed the time, how could she bother with this matter again? Could there be some other reason for this? Thinking about it, Wang Zhengjun was finally puzzled. With deep eyes, she said quietly: "Lingjuan, you can inquire carefully about Mama Chen's affairs, and by the way, go to the Ting Prison to see if you can find some more clues." ”
"No!" Lingjuan ordered him to retreat. Yazhu looked puzzled, "Queen Mother, no matter how you look at this matter, it looks like Fu Jieyu did it." Since Fu Jieyu has personally admitted that she deliberately framed Feng Meiren, why didn't the queen mother take this opportunity to show the queen mother and the emperor? Maybe this will force Fu Jieyu to admit that Mama Chen was also killed by her. ”
"What you said, it's not like I haven't thought about it." Wang Zhengjun was immersed in thought, and then changed his words, "It's just that things are far from being as simple as they seem. Although Fu Jieyu admitted that it was the time when she made people false, but after all, we have not found conclusive evidence that she did it. At this time, Mama Chen, the only thing related to the poisoning, was also killed. We are short of words for the time being, and it is difficult to convince the public, so how can we make the emperor believe it? As far as the matter of the false transmission of the time is concerned, even if Fu Jieyu admits it, in the eyes of the emperor, it can only be regarded as Fu Jieyu's petty character when she is willful and jealous. With the emperor's favor for her, he just blamed her for a few words. If we use this to say more, we are afraid that it will not only not help, but will make things worse. ”
"It's infuriating! We didn't even have any way to take Fu Jieyu! Yazhu's eyes were frustrated and a little deflated. Wang Zhengjun raised his eyes and smiled slightly: "It's angry, but it's not like we don't have anything to do." When Yazhu heard this, his eyes suddenly flashed, and he asked with some doubts: "Did the queen mother think of a clever plan?" ”
"Come here." Wang Zhengjun beckoned, smiling gently at Yazhu. Yazhu obediently approached with her ear, and listened to Wang Zhengjun's quiet whisper, her eyes became clearer and clearer, and she smiled and said, "The slave knows." The queen mother, please rest assured, the slave will do her best to do it. ”
The next day, the sky gradually darkened, the moon began to rise, and the Weiyang Palace slowly lit up the palace lanterns under the clear light. In the Zhaoyang Palace, Fu Yao, who was leaning in front of the table, fidgeted, his bright eyes were enveloped with deep worry. She looked at the bamboo slip in her hand randomly, obviously not thinking about it. After a while, she put down the bamboo slip and shouted out a little impatiently: "Xuan'er! Xuan'er! ”
"The slave is here." Xuan'er looked frightened and hurriedly leaned in. Fu Yao raised her eyes to look at her, and said in a straight voice: "Isn't there any news from the person sent to inquire?" Xuan'er trembled a little, and replied carefully: "If you go back to Niangniang, you haven't yet, but the slave maid estimates that it should be soon." ”
"It's coming, it's coming, it's all dark now. Do you want Hongu to die in a hurry? Fu Yao's voice was fierce and a little impatient. Xuan'er lowered her head in fear, didn't dare to say more, and only said cautiously: "The slave doesn't dare." ”
Fu Yao, who was full of anger, sighed lightly when she saw this, she was a little angry, she threw off her sleeves and sat down, and stood up again, "Order someone to prepare!" Let's go meet the Empress Dowager now! ”
"No!" Xuan'er was about to lean over and exit, when a white carrier pigeon flew in through the window. Xuan'er was overjoyed, and hurriedly stepped forward to take down the creed, "Niangniang, the news is here." Fu Yao smiled, and hurriedly spread out the creed, but the creed read: If you fall into the hands of the enemy by mistake, quickly remedy it.
"Damn! People are really in the hands of the queen! Hongu really underestimated her! Fu Yao was furious, and clenched the creed tightly in his hand. Xuan'er inevitably trembled a little when she saw this, she leaned forward and asked carefully: "Niangniang, do we still need to go to the Empress Dowager now?" ”
"Go! Of course go! Will this palace still be afraid of the queen! Fu Yao gritted her teeth, her charming and bright eyes actually carried a little cold air, she smiled contemptuously, and snorted coldly: "It's just that she caught a little assassin, and the queen whimsically wanted to bring down the palace." Funny! It's funny! In this case, then the palace will let the queen take a good look at how the palace has turned things around! ”
Soon, the chariot was prepared in front of the temple. The night sky, the moon and stars are sparse, and the wind blowing slowly is still a little cool.
Fu Yao walked down the steps quickly, Xuan'er lifted the curtain for her, and she was about to sit in when a palace lady hurriedly ran over and shouted at her: "Niangniang, please stay!" Fu Yao didn't get into the chariot when she heard the sound, turned her head to look at the palace e, but her face immediately changed. Because this Gong'e is none other than the killer she sent out-Jinse. She couldn't help but be a little surprised when she saw this, but she quickly cleared up the clue in her mind. At this moment, Jin Se is likely to be the bait that Wang Zhengjun deliberately put back, if she relaxes her vigilance at this moment, maybe she will be in Wang Zhengjun's way. So Fu Yao grinned lightly and pretended very calmly: "Which palace are you a girl from, what are you looking for in this palace?" ”
The smart Jin Se is good at observing words and feelings, and naturally understands Fu Yao's thoughts at the moment. She knew that Fu Yao was suspicious, so she smiled lightly and took out the birdcage in her hand and said calmly, "Did you forget?" Some time ago, the mother asked the slave to find you a lovesick bird. The slave has been found, and today it is specially delivered. Please take a look, do you like it or not? With that, Jin Se deliberately slightly opened the corner of the bird's cage. Fu Yao looked at Jin Se's movements and found that what was lying in the birdcage was actually a dead carrier pigeon. The snow-white carrier pigeon had half-open eyes, bloodstained, and looked a little terrifying. Although Fu Yao was shocked when she saw this, she didn't show her color, but smiled gently: "Oh, this palace remembers, it seems that there is such a thing." After laughing, Fu Yao looked at him and asked in a low voice, "What's going on?" Why did the queen let you back again? ”
Seeing this, Jin Se knew that Fu Yao's doubts about her had disappeared, so he also whispered back: "Niangniang, there are many people here, and I invite Niangniang to come in and talk." After hearing this, Fu Yao had already guessed that this matter had become very complicated, so he continued to pretend: "This acacia bird has a gorgeous feather coat, and it looks lively and clever. Hongu likes it. Quick, get it in. ”
"No!" Jin Se quickly pulled the cover up and followed Fu Yao into the hall. Seeing this, Xuan'er also knew what Fu Yao meant, and turned around and ordered the eunuchs and attendants on the side to withdraw.
After entering the hall, Fu Yao was a little angry as soon as she heard Jin Se finish telling the ins and outs of the matter, she raised her eyes and said sharply: "I really didn't expect that the queen would use you as bait and bluff." In this way, the carrier pigeon of the palace was intercepted by the queen halfway, and even the news received by the palace tonight was carefully designed by the queen. Speaking of this, Fu Yao's face was solemn, and her heart was a little dull.
"The subordinates also guessed, so they went into the palace overnight to inform the mother." Jin Se bowed his head and said respectfully, and his gentle words carried a hint of the heroism of a martial artist.
After hearing this, Fu Yao can be regarded as completely aware of the situation. Thinking that he had now seen through Wang Zhengjun's plan, he breathed a sigh of relief and said with a light smile: "You are outside the palace, and you can still care about the palace, which is indeed commendable." Hongu really appreciates you more and more. Again, it's good that Jinse came back in time. Otherwise, the palace thought that the news was true, and met the empress dowager in a daze, but it was really too late to dig its own grave. With that, Fu Yao raised her eyebrows and glanced at Xuan'er. Xuan'er understood what it meant, and slowly walked into the inner hall and took out a bag of coins. Fu Yao looked at the bag of coins and said, "You did a good job today, this is a reward from this palace." If he helps the palace to complete great things in the future, the palace will still have a heavy reward. ”
"Thank you for the reward! The subordinates must swear allegiance to the mother! Jin Se stepped forward slowly and carefully took the money bag handed over by Xuan'er. He also said: "Niangniang, my subordinates still have one more thing to tell." The subordinates thought that maybe this matter was good news for the mother. ”
"What?" Fu Yao's eyes were clear when she heard this, and she was full of anticipation.
