Chapter 061: Calculation (8)
At this birthday banquet, Concubine Yu, who was the protagonist, only showed up in Jinju Garden, stayed for a short time, and left with physical discomfort.
For her cold and arrogant temperament, everyone who has been in contact with her knows it, even if she has not been in contact with it, she has already heard of it, and she has been favored again, so even if some people are dissatisfied, they don't dare to express it on the surface, but they pity those young ladies who are ready to show their demeanor in front of the concubine.
As soon as she walked out of the Golden Chrysanthemum Garden, Mama couldn't help but nag: "Niangniang, it's not appropriate to leave like this, right?" The emperor has specially explained that he wants to let the mother accompany these ladies and young ladies well, and the prince and the dragon prince will arrive later. The emperor means to let the Dragon Prince personally select and choose his relatives at the banquet, and the mother must not spoil the emperor's major affairs willfully. ”
Concubine Yu's gorgeous face showed an extremely mocking smile, "Prince Long has already returned to the post house, and the emperor's kindness is afraid that it will be in vain." ”
"Huh? When? Mama asked in surprise.
"Just before we came, I heard that Prince Long seemed to be suddenly unwell, and he left in a hurry."
Mama pondered and said, "Is this dragon prince really sick or fake?" Did he not want to choose, so he made an excuse to leave? Could it be that he is really determined to marry Miss Yunjin? ”
Thinking of the face that made her hate to death in her dreams, Concubine Yu's breathing suddenly increased, her silver teeth clenched together, and after a while, she squeezed out a sentence from between her teeth: "It's good that Prince Long really married that woman, and from now on, he can't see or worry about it." ”
As soon as Mama saw her expression, she knew that her words reminded her of the sad past, and she couldn't help sighing heavily, and explained: "Fifteen years have passed since the incident, and it is time for the mother to let go, and you can't resent others for no reason because of a similar face." The old slave thinks that this Miss Yunjin is very good, she is generous, simple-minded, and sincere, much better than those young ladies who love intrigue and competition. ”
Concubine Yu suddenly had tears in her eyes, but she stubbornly raised her head and looked at the sky in the distance, not letting the tears flow, "Yes, it's only been fifteen years, but I feel as if I have survived for hundreds of years." You say, is the sky in our Huanyue still as blue as it was back then, and is the peach blossoms in March still as beautiful as back then......"
"Mother, don't say it." Mama couldn't help wiping her tears, "The old slave knows that Niangniang is bitter, but it is impossible to go back, Niangniang still forgets that person." ”
I couldn't help myself, Concubine Yu's tears still didn't hold back after all, she quietly slid down her raised face to her chin, and then dripped down, her voice was bitterly sad, "What if you don't forget?" I'm tired, let's go back. Everyone envied her for her pampered crown of the six palaces, her head full of pearls, and her glory, but she didn't know that she was a burden for her life.
Mama held her tightly, and the two walked towards Luanming Hall step by step.
Not long after Concubine Yu left, Zhao Ziheng also appeared in the Golden Chrysanthemum Garden.
Many of the young ladies who came to the banquet this time were seeing the true face of the prince for the first time, so needless to say, they were all full of anticipation, hoping that the high-ranking prince would notice them.
But Zhao Ziheng didn't pay attention to them at all, glanced around among the guests, and then his eyes fell on Pan's table, but he didn't see the person he wanted to see in his heart.
When he saw that Yue Liushao and Shui Langlian were there, but Gu Yunjin was not there, he couldn't help but wonder in his heart, and finally secretly gave Yueliushao a look, and went out of the Golden Chrysanthemum Garden.
Afraid of attracting attention, Yue Liushao stayed for a moment before looking for an excuse to come out.
"Where's your young lady?" As soon as he saw her, Zhao Ziheng asked bluntly.
Before Yue Liushao could speak, she couldn't help crying.
When Zhao Ziheng saw it, his expression immediately became nervous, and he urged urgently: "What's wrong?" Tell me quickly, what can crying solve? ”
Yue Liushao tried to hold back her tears before she said intermittently: "My young lady was ...... was framed and poisoned, and now he is ...... by the prince of Nanling Bring...... I went back to the palace for treatment. ”
"Poisoned!" Zhao Ziheng's face changed greatly, his anger suddenly rose, and he gritted his teeth and asked coldly, "What poison?" Do you know who framed it? ”
Yue Liushao shook her head and whimpered.
"Then who did your young lady come into contact with today?"
"My young lady is in the Golden Chrysanthemum Garden today, except for the princess of Nanling, the princess of Jin and Mrs. Fu, and the county lord and Miss Fu, the rest are some palace maids who bring tea and water, and the slave maid really can't think of what went wrong, and she can't guess who wants to frame Miss."
"Okay, you go back first, if there is something to do, Prince Ben will call you again, and Prince Ben wants to see who this person is." Zhao Ziheng's face was gloomy, and a fierce look flashed in his eyes.
He really wanted to find out the murderer who framed his beloved woman immediately, but the clues were limited, and he could even be said to know nothing, so he could only try to imagine various possibilities, but after thinking about it, he felt that he still had to ask Gu Yunjin in person to get more accurate clues.
He frowned and thought for a moment, then instructed the little eunuch who was waiting close to him, "You go to the Nanling Palace's Mansion immediately to see how Miss Yunjin is doing?" If there is anything she needs, she must tell the prince. ”
Speaking of this, Zhao Ziheng couldn't help but feel hatred and jealousy in his heart, gritted his teeth and secretly thought: Dai Jinchao, that bastard, Yunjin was poisoned and didn't directly find the imperial doctor in the palace, why did he take it back to the palace in one more move, he must not be well-intentioned.
Thinking of this, he solemnly admonished: "Also, if you tell that Dai Jinchao, just say that if he dares to touch a finger of Miss Yunjin, this prince will never let him go." ”
"Prince, this ......" How dare the slave say this, the little eunuch looked sad. The prince of Nanling didn't even pay attention to the crown prince, let alone him, a minion. Although he was just passing the word, even so, if he really said that, he was sure that the prince of Nanling would definitely kick him out.
Zhao Ziheng looked at him coldly, "Don't go quickly." ”
The little eunuch didn't dare not listen, so he could only bite the bullet and go with the determination to be beaten very much.
Then, Zhao Ziheng instructed another eunuch, "Go and gather all the palace maids who are serving in Jin Juyuan, and this prince will specially interrogate the palace maids who are serving Mrs. Gu's table." ”
"Yes." The eunuch received the order and hurried away.
In the Golden Chrysanthemum Garden, when Fu Junyue saw Zhao Ziheng and Yue Liushao leaving one after another, she couldn't sit still, and she was full of hatred in her heart, she really fell short, and she lost such an opportunity in vain. The more she thought about it, the more unwilling she felt in her heart, the opportunity was rare, she couldn't just let go, and if she broke one of her obstacles, there would be one less obstacle, which would be equivalent to one step closer to that position.
Soon, she also found an excuse to get out of the Golden Chrysanthemum Garden.
