Chapter 177 Knowing the Truth
The two of them both walked into Concubine Chen's bedroom, and saw Concubine Chen lying on the bed, her face pale, and she looked like she was about to die. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info looked at the scars on Concubine Chen's body, it was a pity.
"Sister, don't look at me." Concubine Chen covered the cup on her body with some fear and whispered. looked at Xiao Guifei's distressed eyes, "I called you over to tell you." When I fainted, there were a lot of small insects crawling around on the ground, and I had never seen them before. It must be the queen's ghost, you have to believe it. ”
Xiao Guifei put her hand on Concubine Chen's arm and said with some comfort.
"You don't have to think about it, although we know it's the queen, but we don't have any evidence at the moment. So you can relax first, take care of your illness, and leave the rest to me. ”
"Yes." Concubine Chen nodded and glanced at Concubine Xiao very gratefully. "I can have my current status, all thanks to your grace."
"We are all a family, so why bother talking about these empty things." Xiao Guifei hurriedly took Concubine Chen's hand and said with a smile. took the bowl in Bai Yao's hand into his hand and handed it to Concubine Chen.
"Drink the medicine first, your body is too doctor to say. There won't be any problems. Concubine Xiao comforted and handed the medicine in her hand to Concubine Chen.
Concubine Chen obediently drank the medicine little by little, and her heart was warm. Although the medicine was very bitter, it was the sweetest medicine Concubine Chen had ever drunk in her life. Xiao Guifei's hands have an unusual warmth. It made Concubine Chen's body a lot less painful.
"Thank you, mother."
"It's okay, I'll help you out in the sun. It's a very nice day. Xiao Guifei smiled and put down the bowl in her hand, and asked a few little palace maids to help Concubine Chen on the bed to sit on the chair.
Immediately afterwards, it was carried to the courtyard, and the moonrise lake was shining with silver light, and the scenery was pleasant. I can't tell that it's a harem at all, but it's like a Jiangnan garden. Concubine Chen sat on a chair and smiled as she watched the fish swim around in the lake.
"Niangniang, Ye Hong's makeup is here." Bai Yao saw Ye Hongjiao rowing over in a small boat from a distance. whispered to Concubine Xiao.
Xiao Guifei's face changed, although this Ye Hongxiang is not the same as the queen, but how to say it is also surnamed Ye. What's more, she is pregnant with a child. Nowadays, it is difficult to say that it is good stubble.
Ye Hongxiang walked in and looked at Concubine Chen lying on the chair. looked very pleasant, and that appearance didn't show that she was a woman who had just been calculated.
"Why are you here?" Xiao Guifei stepped forward and said with a smile. Seeing the kindness on Ye Hong's face, there was no arrogance. The two of them are completely different. There is really no way to make Xiao Guifei hostile.
"I came here to talk about Concubine Chen's illness." Ye Hong's makeup went straight to the point, without any polite words. He stepped forward and looked the scar on Concubine Chen's neck up and down, revealing a painful expression. "If we hadn't found the package that day, maybe I'd be like you."
"What do you mean by that?" When Concubine Chen heard Ye Hongxiang say this, she was frightened into a cold sweat. grabbed Ye Hongxiang's arm with his hand, and almost used all his strength.
"You're a little harder, you're hurting me." Ye Hongxiang endured the pain and whispered. The recipe in his hand shook it with difficulty. "This is the prescription, you can take the medicine according to this, it will be no problem."
"How can you have a prescription. What do you mean by that? Concubine Chen didn't care about that recipe, she just pulled Ye Hong's makeup hard and asked.
"In my palace, there is this kind of insect buried under an old uncle. If you don't find out in time, I'm afraid I'll be with you. Ye Hongxiang didn't say any more, put her hand on her lower abdomen, and her tone was very low. I feel very distressed when I look at you, this is the recipe I finally got it. ”
"Take it." Xiao Guifei said to Bai Yao, unloading her hostility. "Then do you know who put it?"
"Naturally, if I didn't know, I wouldn't have come to you." Ye Hongxiang nodded and sat on the side. He handed the prescription in his hand to Bai Yao and said with a smile. "It's still the problem that Lin Luo found, that **** just felt uncomfortable, Lin Luo came to look at me, who knew that she suddenly found that an old tree in the garden was yellow, so she casually mentioned it."
Ye Hong said carefully, "After Lin Luo went back, I had a thought. Calling for someone to dig up the soil under the tree, who would have thought that they would find such filthy things. At the mention of the bug, Ye Hongxiang covered her mouth with a handkerchief.
Concubine Chen also reacted in the same way, and almost didn't vomit together.
"Have a cup of tea." Ye Hongxiang saw that Concubine Chen was uncomfortable, so she casually handed the tea in her hand to Concubine Chen. Concubine Chen took it and drank it, and she felt better.
"That's a pack of bugs. I wonder if there were bugs when you fainted that day. Ye Hongxiang then asked, seeing Concubine Chen nodding. The doubts in my heart have finally been answered. It turned out to be really the queen, presumably the insect didn't lie dormant for a long time, and I don't know when it was put into the yard.
"I didn't expect my sister to want to harm me." Ye Hongxiang gritted her teeth and said, "I originally had doubts, but now I have come to you to settle down." I'm her sister, and this person's heart is inevitably too ruthless. ”
"This woman is so much more vicious, let alone my cousin. It's her own sister, and she doesn't show any mercy when she starts. Xiao Guifei answered, pouting disdainfully.
"You mean Concubine Rong?" Ye Hongxiang originally just wanted to confirm the queen's affairs, but she didn't expect to hear other secrets.
"You don't know, do you?" Xiao Guifei said with a smile, "I originally disdained to say it. After all, this is your Ye family's own business, but now that you have been killed like this, I have to remind you a few words. ”
Xiao Guifei lowered her voice and pulled Ye Hongxiang to her side with a smile.
"Your queen sister has been giving Concubine Rong contraceptive pills, so Concubine Rong has never had children." Concubine Xiao's words were very firm, and she heard Ye Hong's makeup sweating on her forehead. Why did the queen do this, is it because she has no children?
"Well, you don't have to be so surprised. What kind of person she is, you should also have a plan. Xiao Guifei put her hand on Ye Hong's lower abdomen and said worriedly. My child was saved by all odds, and as for yours, there is still a long way to go. ”
"Xie Guifei Niangniang mentions." Ye Hongxiang said in a low voice, seeing that there was no hostility on Concubine Xiao's face. On the contrary, the queen, who is also a close relative of the clan, can do such a thing.
If Concubine Rong is pregnant, only the queen will benefit, but even so, she will not allow it. It's vicious.
Let's say that on this day, Ye Hongxiang stayed in the Yuechu Palace and did not return to the Autumn Palace. Lin Luo knew about it, so he didn't go to Tangqiu Palace to accompany him. Instead, he went to Xuanwei Palace, thinking about whether he could help Emperor Ping do something. But he never thought about it, but he met the newly appointed Lin Ge Lao.
Looking at the man in the Xuanqing official robe in front of him, even like this, he still couldn't stop his scholarly anger.
"Wechen see the master." Seeing that it was Lin Luo, Jing Mo subconsciously bent over, and then whispered.
"Get up." Lin Luo was surprised to see Jingmo so outward. The man who secretly looked for himself in Luoying Building seemed to be just a dream. The real Jingmo is always the family and the country in front, but I forgot it.
"Wechen retired first." Jingmo breathed a sigh of relief, but he felt a little lost. Looking at Lin Luo's face, she seemed to have turned ruddy. His arm was no longer as bony as it had been before. It seems that life in the palace is not so difficult.
"Wait." Lin Luo saw that Jingmo wanted to leave, so he said in a lost voice.
Jingmo stopped, not daring to turn around. Lin Luo glanced at Jingmo's back blankly, and saw that the green silk was all pulled into the official hat, and moved his lips, but he didn't say anything after all.
"Ugh." Lin Luo sighed and turned to leave. I didn't see Jingmo's momentary retrospective.
walked into Xuanwei Palace and watched Emperor Ping playing chess by himself. He stepped forward and tapped the chessboard with his hand.
"You're here." Emperor Ping looked up and saw that it was Lin Luo, so he said very enthusiastically. handed the white child in his hand to Lin Luo, "Where do you think this white child should fall?" ”
Lin Luo shook his head and put the white characters in the chess box.
"I don't know how to play chess."
"How is it possible, Jingmo is such a good chess player. Didn't you learn a little? Emperor Ping suddenly said coldly, and the appearance of the two of them outside the hall was seen by Emperor Ping. Lin Luo's reluctance, he didn't understand.
"What does his chess skills have to do with me. I'm here to ask you, have the rat droppings of the officials been cleaned? ”
Let's say that after the defeat of the Xiao family, only the officials still have power. Now, as long as the remnants of the ministry are removed, the queen mother can die.
"Is that all you have to say to me?" Emperor Ping said in a low voice, and drank all the tea at hand. "That's it, Jingmo came over today to talk about it. The newly elected officials have all been installed in the Ministry of Officials. Rest assured, it's all our people. ”
"That's it?" Lin Luo was not satisfied, there was no turmoil on the first day, which was impossible.
"Yes, that's all." Emperor Ping bowed his head, obviously not wanting to tell Lin Luo everything that happened in the court. Lin Luofei already has enough brains, and now that he can handle it himself, he doesn't need Lin Luo to worry about it anymore.
"I don't want to say it, forget it, I just want to kill the Queen Mother early." Lin Luo shrugged, "It seems that you don't need me as a military advisor today." So I went back to rest. ”
"Yes." Emperor Ping bowed his head again, unwilling to say more.
When Lin Luo saw Emperor Ping like this, a nameless fire welled up in his heart. I don't know why, I walked out quickly.
Leaving Emperor Ping alone in the inner hall, it was quite bleak.
"You said, did she come to see Jingmo?" Emperor Ping asked in a low voice, and Gonggong Ping on the side bent over and said with a smile.
"The old slave only knows that the master of Shicai Lin said a lot more to the emperor than to the elder of the pavilion."
"In that case, I won." Emperor Ping smiled and closed the chess box. In this game of chess, he was one step away from losing to Jingmo, but at the critical moment, Jingmo stopped. So it's an endgame.
"Is the Queen Mother's body okay?" Emperor Ping asked again.
"It's not good, I haven't been eating well lately. According to the boys, they haven't eaten for four or five meals. Yan Yi, who was standing somewhere, suddenly flew out and knelt in front of Emperor Ping. At this time, Father-in-law Ping had already withdrawn, and no one could listen to Yan Yi when he spoke, this was the rule.
"Then hard pour. No matter what, you can't just cheap her like this. Emperor Ping's voice was steady, but his eyes were sharp. The Queen Mother has been imprisoned for half a year, and now her health is getting worse and worse. But it's not so simple to die so quickly.
"Your Majesty, there is not much power left of the Xiao family. Now that the Queen Mother has been killed, no one dares to say a word. Why you? Yan Yi suddenly asked, this was the first time he had asked a question.
"If the Queen Mother dies, what will I do to keep her." Emperor Ping whispered, with regret in his words. If Lin Luo had been in the palace back then, he would have been able to treat her better. Maybe the relationship between the two will not be so stiff at this time.
"Your Majesty, you can use your own strength." Yan Yi said in a low voice, "You don't necessarily have to use the Queen Mother." ”
"When did you start worrying about such a trivial matter?" Emperor Ping said with a smile, seeing that Yan Yi's expression was very strange, and he joked casually.
"It's just a casual question, and I ask the emperor for forgiveness." Yan Yi has always been cautious, and when he saw Emperor Ping like this, he didn't say anything else. Just kneel and confess.
"Hurry up, it's just a joke about you. Why are you so scared, you have saved me many times, you are my brother, where is there any crime that is not guilty. Emperor Ping stood up, pulled Yan Yi up with his own hands, and said with a smile.
These words made Yan Yi fearful, and calling him a brother and a brother means the highest level of defense.
"The slave doesn't dare, the slave is just an orphan without a father and mother, and he is fortunate to be taken in by the emperor. This is what a minion should do. Yan Yi hurriedly said that in order to dispel Emperor Ping's suspicions, he must remain obedient at all times.
"Look at you like this, I have convinced you. Whether it was when I was a child or now, I will always be so respectful and respectful, so that people can't find the slightest mistake. Emperor Ping smiled and patted Yan Yi's shoulder, the current Yan Yihei did not make him feel uneasy and dangerous.
"Last time, you said that there was a break-in in the palace, but you caught it?"
"No, that person was hit by an arrow from me, and it stands to reason that he couldn't run far. It's just that I chased him for a long time, but suddenly I disappeared from him. In recent days, I have arranged for intensive patrols. As long as he is still in the palace, he will definitely be able to catch it. Yan Yi said with some unwillingness, for so many years, he was the first person who could escape from him.
"Well, I haven't sacrificed my life in the past few days. Presumably he had already escaped, nothing happened, and there was no need to make a fuss. Emperor Ping waved his hand and said, it is the most common thing to come to the palace every year to have a few small thieves.
This year, it was because Yan Yi personally guarded that there were fewer of them. But it is not excluded that a few bold people will die.
"Yes, then I will immediately order the people below to withdraw." Yan Yi saw that Emperor Ping didn't care, so he was also relieved.
"Yes, go ahead." (To be continued.) )
