Chapter Ninety-Nine: Pin Dirty
The candle flame in Chenzhi Palace was dim and unknown, and the dancing candle flame made the woman's slender figure more hazy and soft.
Zhu Yu tiptoed into the hall, and saw Mu Qing's eyes closed, I don't know if she was asleep or was closing her eyes to recuperate, so she called softly: "Niangniang." ”
"How?" Mu Qing didn't open his eyes, and his cold voice was like glacial river water, which made people shudder.
"There's news." Zhu Yu replied simply and directly.
Mu Qing asked in a steady tone, "The queen already knows?" ”
Zhu Yu paused before saying, "No, the emperor knows!" ”
Mu Qing Huo Ran opened his closed eyes, obviously a little surprised by such a result, Mu Qing sat up straight and listened carefully to Zhu Yu's advice.
It turned out that after Yan Yong discovered the vision in the corner of the imperial garden that day, he did not immediately report the matter to the queen or the queen mother, but quietly suppressed the matter. Yan Yong is mainly responsible for Emperor Liang Yinhao's daily life and diet on weekdays, it can be said that Liang Yinhao spends more time with him than with any concubine, so Yan Yong has already figured out the emperor's heart and preferences, he knows that the emperor has always loved red plums, and the red plums in the imperial garden are also specially planted and cultivated by Liang Yinhao. Therefore, Yan Yong took advantage of Liang Yinhao's characteristics and found an excuse at random, falsely claiming that the red plums in the Imperial Garden were delicate and bright red, and coaxed Liang Yinhao to go to watch.
Liang Yinhao was also extremely happy when he heard it, thinking that it was some kind of good luck and auspicious luck, so he rushed to the imperial garden in a hurry. Of course, the result can be imagined, and what Liang Yinhao can see can only be a bleak and terrifying scene in the northwest corner. The emperor was immediately furious when he saw this, and it was a bad luck to have such a thing happen in the New Year, and he immediately ordered that all the eunuchs and gardeners who were in charge of guarding the imperial garden be arrested, and prepared to ask the master for their guilt. The eunuchs cried and cried out one by one, and when life and death were at stake, naturally someone told the reason in order to save their lives.
When Emperor Liang Yinhao heard this, he didn't believe it at first, so he sent Yan Yong to inspect the soil in the imperial garden, but what Liang Yinhao didn't expect was that Yan Yong's answer after coming back was exactly the same as the gardener's words. If it weren't artificial, how could there be wine in the dirt? At this point, Liang Yinhao had to suspect that someone was playing tricks and pretending to be ghosts. So Liang Yinhao ordered the inner prison and the forbidden army to jointly investigate the matter thoroughly on the same day.
Zhu Yu said happily: "I didn't expect this Yan Yong to not report this matter directly to the queen, but skipped the queen and the queen mother, and tried his best to tell the dog emperor." ”
"Yan Yong is really an old fox. In fact, he also knew very well in his heart about Yunyi Palace, who was the initiator behind the scenes, and what the purpose was, but he pretended to be deaf and dumb and pretended to be stupid. Mu Qing smiled, kneading his forehead lightly with his fingertips, and said, "So after he found the withered grass and trees in the imperial garden, he thought that this was also a trick of the queen, so naturally he couldn't sue the queen." But if he directly skips the queen and reports the matter to the emperor, it is clear that he is against the queen, and he Yan Yong will not be so stupid. So he pretended not to know anything about this matter, but led Liang Yinhao to the imperial garden by side knocks, creating a false impression that the emperor had accidentally discovered and escaped the queen's eyes and ears. In this way, he will neither offend the queen, nor will he have to bear the matter himself, perhaps... He also had a little grievance for Liang Xi. ”
Zhu Yu was suspicious: "Then Yan Yong will be so kind?!" I'm afraid it's more about protecting oneself with a clear mind. ”
Mu Qing didn't echo Zhu Yu's words, and said lightly: "Anyway, it's good for Liang Yinhao to know about this matter, after all, the bigger the noise, the easier it is for the other party to panic, so as to expose his feet." ”
Zhu Yu also felt that her master's words were reasonable, and said: "Today, Yin Zheng, the commander of the forbidden army, has entered the palace and joined forces with the inner chamberlain to investigate. ”
"This matter is now in the hands of the forbidden army, and it is really under the control of Uncle Yin, so it will be much easier to handle." Mu Qing's eyes froze, and he ordered, "Zhu Yu, you will arrange the rest." This time, even if I can't defeat the Huo family, I will definitely want her to lose her troops! ”――
After Tang Meiren learned about this from her subordinates, she was like sitting on pins and needles, and she couldn't wait for a moment, so she immediately came to the queen to find a way. "Niangniang, it's not good, the whole grass and trees in the imperial garden are dead." "I already know about it." The queen's brows furrowed, and after listening to Tang Meiren's words, her face became even more ugly, "Didn't you do it?" ”
Tang Meiren was stunned, her heart couldn't help sinking, and she immediately cleared up the relationship and said, "How could it be a concubine!" The concubine thought that the queen was in a hurry and couldn't wait! ”
"Hongu didn't do anything!" The queen also felt that there was something strange about this matter, and muttered, "Strange, who is it?" ”
Tang Meiren became more and more anxious in her heart, and said: "Yes, the emperor has found out that someone poured wine in the soil, so he led the flowers and trees to die in a large area." This person's modus operandi is similar to the one we used to deal with Concubine Zhen's mother and son, is this just a coincidence? Could it be that someone has found something..."
"We didn't do anything!" The queen sharply interrupted Tang Meiren's crazy words, "We haven't done anything, what can others find?" ”
Tang Meiren looked at the queen stupidly, obviously messing up. "But..."
The queen's face was full of anger, and her cruel appearance was like a hellish ghost. "No, but! There is no conclusion to the matter yet, so we can't mess up the situation ourselves. ”
"So what are we going to do next?" Tang Meiren asked.
The queen pondered for a moment and asked, "Are those wines in your palace still there?" ”
"I didn't use it all up at that time, there are still some left, and now I am hiding in the concubine's palace!" Tang Meiren said truthfully.
"Still in your palace?!" The queen almost jumped, "Why don't you destroy the evidence?" ”
Tang Meiren said in a low voice: "The concubine originally thought that it was just some wine, even if it was placed in the palace, it would not matter, and no one would suspect anything." ”
"What do you think?! What do you think it's for! Where do you use your usual cleverness? Why don't you use it at a critical time? The queen scolded sharply.
"What does a mother mean?"
"You try to find an opportunity to send someone to dispose of all the wine in the palace. But also be careful, don't throw it around, and it's better to pour all the wine into some dry wells in the palace, so that no one will find out. ”
Tang Meiren took the order and said: "The concubine understands what to do!" (To be continued.) )
