74. Chapter 74
Xiu Ying made a work summary that night, and this time the plan to overthrow Feng Xiaoyi was generally a failure. In general, his first round of palace fighting was not very good. Xiu Ying made a deep self-examination, summed up the lessons learned, and made up her mind to make a plan next time, and she must strive to be more thoughtful than this time.
In the entire plan to overthrow Feng Xiaoyi, one of the links that Xiu Ying is most worried about is that in the process of being interrogated, the painting kite will confess to Xiao Lizi's accomplice, which is something that she can't control. But now the case is still limited to the incident of pushing the pool, and there is no sign of the previous poisoning case, so Xiu Ying speculated that if the little palace maid still has a little brain, she should not confess the incident herself and wait for the punishment of several crimes.
Fortunately, the matter was quickly resolved - the day after the incident, before the interrogation, the painted kite committed suicide and hanged himself.
After Xiu Ying heard the news, she breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time, she was inevitably panicked: this is the first human life that ended indirectly in her own hands. After that, he brought a little chestnut and carefully interrogated the sinful past of the painted kite, and then neutralized his own heart of the White Lotus.
There is nothing to check the case, and several of the close subordinates who served Feng Xiaoyi in Guixi Hall did not know anything, and they were still innocent after receiving some punishments.
The interrogators did not find any suspicions, so they reported the matter truthfully, and the final verdict was that none of these people were sentenced.
And the mastermind, Ms. Feng, has never come to her senses since the chrysanthemum meeting came down that day, and has become a complete madman and was sent to the cold palace to fend for herself.
The imperial dining room was also thoroughly investigated, and two eunuchs involved in the matter were involved, that is, the one who received Feng Xiaoyi's money to help burn Zheng De to death, and the rest of the people were also punished for negligence in their duties and failure to notice their companions' ghost tricks and report them in time.
Xiu Ying keenly tasted the tension of everyone in the imperial dining room from the taste of the meals in the past two days.
Xiao Lizi's sister Li Qin'er, as a little palace maid who sprinkled cleaning and chores, was not qualified to be dragged for interrogation at all, so she was not affected in any way. The concubines who had an accident would soon be sent to serve in other palaces, and Xiu Ying applied to Concubine Yan in time to ask her to come over on the grounds of the brother-sister relationship between Xiao Lizi and Qin'er, and the result was naturally easy to obtain the approval of her intimate sister.
In the past two days, Xiu Ying still went to ask Concubine Yan for peace, in fact, because Concubine Yan is not the queen after all, this invitation activity in the palace is not very orthodox, just a little bit of a shape, which can be regarded as an opportunity for everyone in the harem to meet and exchange information directly.
The concubines took this opportunity to ask Xiu Ying about the whole story of Feng Xiaoyi's case, and Xiu Ying replied according to the lines that had already been made, and the audience's response was expected. The Queen Mother still said that she was sick and did not come to meet everyone, and she did not see any action.
Everything seemed to be going smoothly, and the trio of loyal servants of the Hibiscus Pavilion were very happy, and they always praised the noble character and wisdom of the little master. However, Xiu Ying herself quickly understood what Tianshu's so-called "trouble" was - Lian Zhen ignored her.
In three days, in fact, it only took three days from the conversation under the willow tree after the chrysanthemum meeting that day, and she experienced the torture from the world to hell and then to purgatory.
On the first day, she didn't see Lian Zhen, repeatedly pondering his expression and language the day before, comforting herself and saying that he shouldn't be angry, he didn't come today, it was a pure coincidence, and he shouldn't expect an emperor to guard him all day long, right?
The next day, she didn't see Lian Zhen coming, and she researched his watch back and forth dozens of times that day, and began to speculate with anxiety: He was probably still unhappy, he had such high expectations for himself, but he deliberately hid it from him, and made it clear that he didn't want to tell him the inside story, how could he be happy? Alas, I hope he will be calm for a few days and then he will be relieved, and he can come to me again......
As a result, she was not in the mood to eat dinner that day, so she went to sleep directly.
Before the third day began, she had a series of nightmares at night, repeatedly dreaming of how Lian Zhen treated her coldly when they met again, treating her like a passerby, and when she woke up in the morning, she could only use one sentence to describe her state at that time - the whole person was not good.
Xiu Ying has always looked down on those female pigs in romance dramas who are looking for death and life at every turn for the so-called love, as for a man? Don't be pretentious, don't be pretentious? And when I really came to this situation, I realized that other people's actions and other people's hypocrisy turned out to be so reasonable!
Now my mental activity is repeated with these few words: Oh my God! Why didn't he come to me! Doesn't he love me anymore? If he doesn't love me, how can I live!
When it was his turn to come to this juncture, he realized that he had not been used in the romance drama Female Pig.
People say that husband and wife don't have an overnight feud, but they and he are not a veritable husband and wife!
People say that there is a fight at the head of the bed and the end of the bed, but he didn't appear in his bed at all, so what can he do!
It seems that a pseudo-philosopher once said that love is cheap. Xiu Ying wants to say: It's really TMD!
The emperor Xià is still a master who comes and goes without a trace, often only with Tang Han alone, or alone in the palace around the low-key action, even the queen mother is difficult to keep track of his whereabouts, when he quietly sneaked into the Hibiscus Pavilion twice, is a typical example. Therefore, Xiu Ying had the intention to send someone to find out what the emperor was busy with, but they all returned in vain.
Xiu Ying involuntarily committed cheapness on the one hand, and despised her own cheapness on the other, and her body was tortured by such contradictions, overwhelmed, and soon fell ill.
Lying on the bed with a fever, Xiu Ying thought of Lin Daiyu when she was dying, Brother Bao, if you don't come to see me again, my sister will go......
Slouch in bed in broad daylight. When I woke up and opened my eyes, I saw a person sitting on the edge of the bed, looking at her with a smile and saying, "But I haven't seen you for three days, how did you become like this?" Isn't it because I am sicksick? ”
Xiu Ying was stunned, sat up with all her might, threw herself into his arms, and cried: "That's right, I just suffered from lovesickness for you, I'm just afraid that you won't pay attention to me again!" What will I do if you don't come again? ”
With this excitement, he woke up suddenly, but saw that the person who came to his bed was only a flowing frost, and it turned out that the scene just now was just a dream. The disappointment that quickly spread in my heart was like knocking over a bottle of sulfuric acid, or concentrated sulfuric acid.
Liushuang saw that she opened her eyes, and there were still two lines of tears, and she was stunned and said: "I'm disturbing the little master, the slave is here to see if the little master is awake." Qin'er was sent over just now, and the little chestnut brothers and sisters were waiting outside, wanting to come and thank the little master. ”
"Oh......" Xiu Ying wiped the tears on her face, thinking that she had saved a life after all, and this sacrifice was worth it, she felt a little more positive energy in her heart, "Let them go, don't thank anything." ”
Xiao Qian picked up things on the side, and said angrily: "Little Chestnut just said that in order to save his life, the young lady and the emperor have a disagreement, and he is really dead." If you want to talk about it, you have to blame him for this......"
Liushuang gave Xiao Qian a hard look and stopped her from going on.
Xiu Ying was stunned for a while: "I...... Have a dislike with the emperor? You can all see that I have a disagreement with the emperor? ”
It turns out that self-comfort is just self-deception, and the truth has nowhere to hide, and he really offended him! The whole world knows it!
Xiao Qian covered her mouth, knowing that she was speechless, and hurriedly turned to smile and said, "Miss, what do you want to eat?" Do you want the slave to ask for a piece of osmanthus lotus seed soup for you? ”
Xiu Ying didn't say anything, and fainted with a "bang".
I don't know how long I slept, and I heard Lu Xianping's voice coming into my ears in a hazy way: "The little master is just depressed......"
Hmph, I'm depressed, so you just say that I have lovesickness, don't you get it? Imperial Doctor Xiao Lu, you don't have to worry about it, just let my sister die. When my sister dies, maybe my sister will wear it back to the first day I came here, that's right, through the rebirth of Wenchang, my sister will sit on his bed and wait for the waiter to sleep, if that's the case, my sister must do everything she can to seduce him on the spot, no matter what thirty-seven twenty-one, you have to sleep with him first!
My sister finally fell in love with a man, how could she have done nothing with him and ended up with such a tragic ending of parting ways? Woowoo......
When my consciousness was concentrated again, I opened my eyes and saw the same dream scene again: the man sat on the edge of the bed, looked at her with a smile and said, "But I haven't seen her for three days, how did you become like this?" Isn't it because I am sicksick? "Even the lines are the same as last time.
Xiu Ying's teary eyes were hazy, and suddenly she became angry, sat up and waved her fists at him: "That's right, I just suffered from lovesickness for you, I almost want to kill you, and I just want to see you again and beat you up as a ruthless and unrighteous wolf-hearted bad man!" ”
Lian Zhen never imagined that when she woke up, she would be treated like this, so she blocked her fists and feet with her arms, and avoided the pillow she picked up, before she said, "You...... Is this a brain burnout? ”
Seeing that his reaction seemed to be very logical, Xiu Ying was a little suspicious that this time it was not a dream, so in order to verify, she took his hand and bit his wrist with a snort.
Lian Zhen let out a low cry and stood up, looked at her in shock for a while, hurriedly turned around and walked outside, and greeted outside: "Go and call Xiao Lu back again!" ”
Xiu Ying Huo Ran remembered, hey, verify whether she is dreaming, it is obviously her own hand that should be bitten! But before she could bite the right place again, she saw Lian Zhen walking back and meeting her eyes.
He was still wearing the same dark blue clothes he had seen last time, and the red gold bead crown he wore on his head was the same as the last time he saw him, and the round pearls and his dark eyes shimmered together. It felt so real, so clear, that it was not a dream, there was no doubt about it.
I really waited for him, and of course, I really beat him and bit him...... Xiu Ying sat in a daze for a moment, and then fell down with a "bang".
Lian Zhen frowned, saw through her trick at a glance, pursed her lips and chuckled, and said outside: "Come on, call the girl back just now, you don't have to go to Xiao Lu." After speaking, he walked back and sat on the edge of the bed, crossed his arms and looked at her, "Get up honestly and make amends, I won't come to blame you." ”
Xiu Ying didn't move. Hmph, make amends for your size, condemn your size, my sister is not afraid!
The corners of Lian Zhen's lips hooked up with a smile, and he leaned closer and said, "Your seven-day deadline is coming up, why don't you do something, aren't you afraid that I will punish you?" ”
Xiu Ying still didn't move. Hmph, how can you punish me? Isn't it just a rogue trick to dispatch you? Sister is waiting! Who's afraid of whom?
Lian Zhen sighed pretendically: "That's it, I won't bother you, let you recuperate for a few days." ”
As he spoke, he made a gesture to get up and leave, but saw the man on the bed pounce on him and grab him by the neck. Lian Zhen was pulled down on the bed by her without resistance, and she was surprised in her heart: Isn't this girl terminally ill? Where did you get so much effort?
Immediately, the mouth was sealed with two cherry lips.
