Chapter 22: Gambling on Life
He Mengyao frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and then turned her eyes and said calmly: "The concubine is just guessing, this cloak is ordinary and ordinary, I don't know how Concubine Pu can prove that this cloak is the emperor's?" ”
Puyu was stunned, she did look a little familiar with this dress, but she couldn't remember where she had seen it. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Is it really the cloak of King Zhennan? In her heart, she quickly denied it, if Yan was not this kind of person, she believed Ruoyan.
He Mengyao looked at Puyu's frowning and swaying appearance, her mood suddenly brightened, she couldn't help but smile, took a sip of tea and said slowly: "Everyone in the palace knows that you and Li Jieyu are sisters, did you already know about Li Jieyu's affairs and help her hide it?" ”
Li Ruoyan looked at the queen and pleaded sincerely: "Niangniang, the concubine has no evidence, it is better to ask the emperor to come up and take a look, and then he will know the truth." ”
The late concubine disagreed, and said softly: "This cloak is so ordinary, at a glance, you can tell that it is not the emperor's clothes, the emperor is very busy these days, why bother the emperor for this kind of thing, let the emperor worry." Niangniang, you have served the emperor for many years, do you think this is the emperor's cloak?"
The queen took a closer look at the cloak, the fabric of this cloak was rough, and the workmanship was not fine, but the emperor had always paid special attention to the quality of life, and the quality of food and clothing was extremely demanding. He announced in a deep voice: "This clothing should not be the emperor's, someone will drag Li Ruoyan down and wait for it to be delivered." ”
Ruoyan heard the queen say this, his face turned a little paler, trembled slightly, fell to the ground and knelt down, and struggled: "Niangniang, the concubine is wronged." ”
Puyu hurriedly stopped the inner eunuch who was about to pull Ruoyan forward, and hugged Ruoyan tightly: "I hope that Niangniang will give Li Jieyu a chance to prove her innocence, if the emperor says no, the concubine and Li Jieyu will let Niangniang fall together." ”
Pei Pei seemed to mention it inadvertently, and said: "Niangniang, everyone who is familiar with the emperor's preferences knows that this cloak cannot be the emperor's." Since Concubine Pu and Li Jieyu insisted that it was the emperor's clothes, it was better to invite the emperor to come up and let Concubine Pu and Li Jieyu be convinced. ”
He Mengyao secretly glanced at Puyu proudly, and then said to the queen: "The concubine thinks that Sister Pei is very reasonable. The evidence is conclusive, and Concubine Pu and Li Jieyu still feel very wronged. ”
The queen nodded, turned her head to the palace maid standing on the side and said, "Qinghe, go to the Qiyuan Hall and ask the emperor to come up to the South Chamber." ”
Li Ruoyan closed her eyes and gently leaned on Puyu's shoulder, motionless.
Puyu ignored the eyes cast by the palace concubine here, let Ruoyan lean on, and sighed softly in her heart.
Pei Pei has always been favored, and he has already attracted the attention of the six palaces, and now he is pregnant again, I am afraid that it has already provoked everyone's jealousy. Why would she speak out to help them at this critical moment and get involved in their troubled waters? They met her and had no relationship. Even if it might not be good for her that they escaped this fate, how could she be so impulsive and brainless?
But Pei Pei is not such an impulsive and brainless person, she does not rely on the queen, let alone the concubine, and the fact that the fetus in her womb is still safe is the best proof.
As soon as Song Jin arrived at the South Wing Pavilion, he saw Puyu kneeling with his head hanging in the hall, his face was as stiff as iron, and he asked coldly: "Where is that cloak?" ”
When everyone saw this, they already knew that Song Jin was already angry, and everyone didn't dare to come out, and the hall instantly fell into a dead silence, like a pool of stagnant water.
He Mengyao felt that Song Jin's anger was expected, any man in the world who was cuckolded by his own woman would be eager to cut that pair of men and women with a thousand knives, not to mention that Song Jin was still the Ninety-Five, and now he was in front of the entire harem.
Puyu, I don't understand this in vain that you are so smart. If the emperor doesn't come, maybe you can escape, and now you will wait for death with Ruoyan!
A little palace maid trembled and held the cloak in front of Song Jin, lowered her head, looking afraid of being angry by Song Jin, after Song Jin saw the cloak, her face was expressionless, she just looked at He Mengyao and said, "Who told you that this cloak belongs to the king of Zhennan?" ”
He Mengyao's face instantly lost its blood, her fingers tightly stacked on the armrest of the dark red mahogany chair, and she responded in a panic: "The concubine looked at the cloak of King Zhennan on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, and the concubine boldly guessed. ”
Song Jin said indifferently: "What a bold guess." He Mengyao wantonly slandered Li Jieyu, fined her for one year, and went back to think about it. ”
He Mengyao's face turned pale.
The concubines present looked calm, and their eyes glanced at Puyu and Li Ruoyan who were still kneeling on the ground from time to time, with a deep meaning.
Puyu suddenly felt that her palms were filled with cold sweat, but fortunately, they won.
The queen picked up Puyu and Li Ruoyan, who were kneeling on the ground, patted their hands, sighed and whispered, "I have wronged you." ”
Li Ruoyan shook his head, bowed to the emperor and queen, and said, "Thank you to the emperor and concubine, and give the concubine an innocence." ”
He Mengyao pointed to Ruoyan and said: "Your Majesty, the concubine did not slander her, and the concubine's suspicions are justified." On Chinese New Year's Eve, King Zhennan once saved Li Jieyu, and threatened the concubine not to speak out, if it is above board, why threaten me? ”
Li Ruoyan frowned and said: "Jumping into the water to save me is Pu Concubine As we all know, Pu Concubine can't help me ashore, and the King of Zhennan can help casually, just a gesture." On the contrary, you pushed me into the river and was seen by the king of Zhennan, and your heart was empty, and you had to strike first. ”
Song Jin looked at He Mengyao coldly: "What else do you have to say?" He Mengyao's face turned pale, her lips lifted, and she was speechless. His tone was as cold as ice and snow in the depths of winter: "He Mengyao slandered and murdered others, ruined the peace in the palace, and was demoted to a talented person." Li Jieyu was named Ronghua. He Mengyao suddenly slumped on the chair, slid down the chair and fell to the ground, sobbing in a low voice.
After everyone dispersed, Pu Yu pulled Li Ruoyan into the cabinet and closed the door: "Sister Yan, can you tell me what the hell is going on?" ”
