Chapter 120 Concubine De is a hindrance
In the cold room of Changle Palace, Qingluan was being tortured by Rong Chu's henchmen. Although she is a woman, Rong Chu's subordinates are not soft at all.
It has only been five days, and Qingluan's body has added many wounds. Even on her right cheek was a horrible scar. Such a terrifying scar made the palace maid's originally delicate face discounted.
"Tut-tut, that's pitiful." Rong Chu, Wu Liang, Jing Shengwu and others entered the cold room and looked at the wound on Qingluan's face. Wu Liang sighed, but there was no pity in his eyes.
As the young master of the Xianwu clan, he has long been accustomed to seeing the pain of life and death in the world. If it weren't for the person he cared about, he was afraid that he would die in front of him, and Wu Liang would not have any intention of changing his face.
As for Rong Chu, he is even more accustomed to life and death, how can the bloody things on the battlefield be less than the damage suffered by this Qingluan? This is also the main reason why Rong Chu is cold-faced and cold-hearted, and treats people coldly.
"That's it, don't tease her, Master Wu Liang, if you have the means to make her open her mouth, just make it out yourself." Jing Shengwu sighed and said.
It's not that she feels pity for this Qingluan, it's just that looking at Qingluan's miserable appearance now, Xueyue behind her has already begun to tremble. Especially in the clear tone, the heel is soft and the standing is unstable. Thinking about it, she just thought of the torture she was subjected to in the Jingfu prison.
Hearing this, Wu Liang stopped teasing this Qingluan. took out a half-cut jade pendant from the dark green elastic ink pattern purse beside his waist and shook it in front of Qingluan, "Qingluan, do you recognize this thing?" ”
Qingluan originally closed her eyes tightly and didn't say a word on the ground, but when she heard Wu Liang's words, she looked at the jade pendant. Then, Qingluan's whole person's expression quickly turned cold, and his mouth opened wide in disbelief. She stepped forward and tried to snatch the jade pendant from Wu Liang's hands, but she was unsuccessful.
"It seems. You've got to know this stuff, too. This son only sues you, the owner of this jade pendant asked me to sue you, Rong Shizi has a life-saving grace for him, and this half of the jade pendant is the physical evidence he gave you. If only you could tell the mastermind behind it. This son will be able to report to the emperor that you have committed suicide in fear of sin, and then send you to reunite with him outside the palace. ”
As soon as Wu Liang's words came out, Qingluan's whole person froze. She looked at Wu Liang in a daze, and then at Rong Chu on Wu Liang's side. Finally, Qingluan timidly spoke. "If the maidservant girl tells you anything. Can you really let the maidservant meet your brother? ”
Wu Liang smiled evilly and nodded, "That's natural, this son can swear to you in the reputation of Rong Chu Rong Shizi." If you tell me what happened to this master, my son will send you to your brother's reunion. ”
Hearing this, a thoughtful look flashed in Qingluan's eyes, and finally gritted his teeth, "Okay, I'll only sue you, Rong Shizi and her." Others. Let's all get out. ”
Hearing this, Rong Chu nodded to his henchman, and Xue Yue also took Qingyin's hand and left the cold room.
The door of the cold room slowly closed in the eyes of several maidservant guards, and although they were worried, they didn't have too much to worry about.
Qingluan told Jing Shengwu and others everything he had to say. When he heard that the mastermind behind the scenes turned out to be Concubine De's mother, Jing Shengwu was not too surprised.
Concubine De's desire to put her to death was expected. Now the queen already has a Chu Yu who treats her as her own. If you add yourself, I'm afraid that Concubine De will not have any way to live in the future.
Therefore, she will definitely find ways to prevent herself from marrying Rong Chu. And the most reassuring way for Concubine De is naturally to cut the grass and eradicate the roots.
"Rong Shizi. Princess, now that the maidservant has told you everything, send me to meet my brother. After Qingluan finished speaking, he looked at the three of them pleadingly, "The slave maid and my brother have been separated since childhood, and I haven't seen each other for a long time. ”
This is true. She was separated from her family since she was ten years old, and later she was treated as an orphan and sent to the palace. But she still has an impression of her own family, especially this half of the jade pendant, which is half of the item that she and her brother each have.
"Are you sure you want to meet your brother?" When Wu Liang heard this, he looked at Qingluan with a strange expression.
The jade hand gently stroked the jade pendant she was wearing around her neck, Qingluan nodded, and a look of hope flashed in her big eyes. Being able to leave the palace and return to her family is something she dreams of.
Wu Liang frowned, and pulled Jing Shengwu to turn around. Jing Shengwu was puzzled, and heard the sound of a sharp object piercing ** behind him. With the muffled sound of "poof", a heavy object fell heavily to the ground.
She turned her head in surprise, only to see Rong Chu pull out the long sword in his hand expressionlessly. On it, there were still drops of Qingluan's blood. Qingluan's eyes widened, and he couldn't bat at himself.
"She's got it all out there." Jing Shengwu asked coldly at the moment, his eyes full of disbelief.
Although Jing Shengwu is not a good man and a woman, he will not have any mercy for the enemy. However, this Qingluan also served her once, and they also agreed to let her live. How could he be so ruthless?
Rong Chu didn't answer, only glanced at Jing Shengwu coldly, took out a splendid white frost handkerchief from his body, wiped the blood stains on the long sword, and left the cold room in stride.
Looking at Jing Shengwu's look of disbelief biting his lip, Wu Liang sighed lightly and stepped forward to say, "Qingluan's family has long been killed by Concubine De. Her brother was a soldier of Rong Chu's palace, and after being ambushed, he was seriously injured and fled back to Rong Wang's mansion, suing us about these things. ”
Then, he quietly looked at Jing Shengwu's delicate face, "Moreover, he will not allow anyone who can hurt you to survive, it will definitely be destroyed." ”
After speaking, Wu Liang strode out of the cold room and caught up with Rong Chu. He explained to Leng Yu, and walked towards the gate of Changle Palace with Rong Chu.
Looking at the slender backs of the two of them, under the direct sunlight, it seemed that there was a cold white brilliance radiating on the two of them. Jing Shengwu closed his eyes tightly, squeezed his fists, and turned around and walked out of the cold room.
Indeed, no matter what happens in the end, this Qingluan will never survive. Even if her brother is still alive, she is afraid that letting her go will cause hidden dangers in the future.
But......
Jing Shengwu finally glanced at the figure that was about to disappear in Changle Palace, sighed, and turned back to his palace.
There are some things that are better not to be said. Otherwise. If you say too much, it's all wrong.
"What, are you still feeling sorry for her attitude?" The two returned to King Rong's mansion and looked at Rong Chu's tightly frowning brows. Wu Liang asked out loud.
Hearing this, Rong Chu put down the hilt of the long sword tightly held in his hand, shook his head, and only looked indifferently at the white cloud streamer in the sky, "There are some things that can't be superborn." Just let me do it. Her hands can be less contaminated, and she will be less contaminated. ”
Hearing Rong Chu say this, Wu Liang was silent for a moment. "It's just that now, she has entered this troubled water, I'm afraid that if you want her to get out, she can't get out."
If Jing Shengwu left this palace directly, there might be nothing left. But she is not the kind of ignorant woman, close to the center of power, naturally has to pay something.
"That's it. I only tried to protect her as much as I could. If she really had to get involved in the center of this mystery, I would be helpless. ”
Hearing this, Wu Liang was silent for a long time. Jing Shengwu, that woman, I'm afraid that she is not a woman who is willing to be under the protection of others. Looking at her now, she is slowly involved in the center of this mystery. Once the whirlpool is opened, even if it is stained with a skirt corner, it can wring people into it.
The mystery of the year, now that it has been started by Rong Chu, how can it be closed lightly? If Jing Shengwu knew to retreat, it would be fine if he didn't absorb power. But. She had been caught in the whirlpool.
Perhaps, from the time they met, it was destined to be this ending.
After Rong Chu and Wu Liang left the palace, Jing Shengwu first dragged his weak body. went to see Chu Heng. When Chu Heng saw her weak appearance, he immediately rewarded her with water-like supplements and sent them to Changle Palace, and allowed her to live well.
"Thanks to my father's grace, now my son's body is much better after all, and now he is just a little soft." Jing Shengwu said softly and bowed down to Chu Heng.
"That's it. Get up. You've become like this now, why do you care about these etiquette? Chu Heng said lovingly, and asked Li Ya to help Jing Shengwu up.
After talking to Chu Heng for a while, Jing Shengwu wanted to return to the palace. Chu Heng asked her if there was any whereabouts of the staple food behind the scenes, Jing Shengwu only gloomy, saying that the two palace maids had eaten poison and committed suicide.
Hearing Jing Shengwu say this, Chu Heng also sighed and didn't mention the matter. rewarded her with some gold and jade jewelry, and then asked Li Ya to send her out.
"Your Majesty, the slave has sent Princess Changle to the gate of the Fengtian Palace, and now she has returned to the palace. Let's really not help the princess find out about this matter? After Li Ya turned back, he said to Chu Heng respectfully.
"Thorough investigation, how thorough investigation? The two palace maids committed suicide by taking poison, where can there be any more clues. Besides, if someone else does it, it's fine, but if it's one of the two of them, how do you let me move? ”
Chu Heng's cold eyes looked at Li Ya and said. Seeing the coldness on the emperor's face, Li Ya fell silent.
Indeed, if either of them moved, I am afraid that it would cause great turmoil in this harem. Poisoning the princess and stabbing them before the royal is enough to get any of them into the water.
The things in the harem, although they look clear, are actually a mess of filth. In the fight between women, sometimes the emperor can't intervene. If you intervene, you can't use excuses to prevaricate in the future.
After Jing Shengwu returned to Changle Palace, Xue Yue muttered indignantly, "Miss, why didn't you tell the emperor the truth about this matter." Concubine De did this to you, can you tolerate it? ”
Jing Shengwu had just sat down on the big red gorilla felt, and before he could take a sip of tea to moisten his throat, when he heard this, he immediately pointed at her forehead with his hand. "You girl, why have you been in the palace for so long, and you are still so frizzy and ignorant?"
Leng Yu came in with a jade ancient lotus lamp, looked at Jing Shengwu and said with a smile, "Miss Xueyue is also in a hurry, but this matter is not in a hurry." Concubine De has been fighting with the queen in this harem for so many years, where is it so easy to come down? ”
"Besides, the two living Qingluan and Yellow Sparrow in this incident are dead. Even if we are alive, let's rush to complain to the emperor, but I am afraid that we will be bitten back by Concubine De, saying that we framed her. ”
Hearing this, Xue Yue was unwilling to beat Jing Shengwu's legs, "Could it be that seeing Concubine De so rampant, we can't do anything?" ”
Jing Shengwu put down the tea bowl in his hand and smiled, "How is it possible, if you bite me, how can I let her go?" ”
Looking at Jing Shengwu's cold look on his face, Xue Yue quieted down. Perhaps, Sheng Wu now has his own methods and ideas.
After Jing Shengwu recovered his body, he **** went to ask the queen mother to say goodbye. Now she understands very well that if she wants to completely bring down Concubine De, she can only rely on the big tree of the queen.
Even if the queen was in the palace at the time, she did let the parrot do it to herself, but she had no choice. Of the two people, only when one of them is knocked down, can he deal with the other wholeheartedly.
"Leng Yu, you have been paying more attention to the affairs of this Zhongcui Palace recently. Thinking that this Concubine De is arrogant and domineering, her palace people will not be much better. If you want to reveal Concubine De's background, we have to start with the people around her. ”
That night, Jing Shengwu whispered to Leng Yu. Leng Yu is the old man in this palace, and he knows some rights intertwined, even better than himself. Therefore, she is also the palace maid who can best understand her own meaning.
If Xueyue and Qingyin are allowed to go, I am afraid that both of them will be confused, and even mess things up and leak the news.
"Does the princess want to attack the palace people of Concubine De?" When Leng Yu heard this, he thought for a while, "If you want to do it, it's best to catch the eunuch next to her, Zhang Deshun." This person is the most timid, relying on Concubine De as a blessing, but he is also a little cowardly. ”
Zhang Deshun? Jing Shengwu frowned and thought about it. She also has an impression of this eunuch. Just came to the Millennium Palace that day to ask for gifts to the queen, and the palace person behind Concubine De was Zhang Deshun. However, since this person has flaws, why didn't the queen do anything to him?
"This person has always been careful in the palace, and relying on Concubine De, there is no flaw to catch. And if the queen wants to be moved, she can only be interrogated by the Prudential Division, and Concubine De can often be stopped. But you're different, princess. ”
As if seeing what Jing Shengwu was thinking, Leng Yu chuckled, "The princess now has the right to walk in front of the palace, and this is to bring people to the prison, which means that they will go directly through the emperor, and they don't need to go through the harem." Even if Concubine De is given ten dares, she can't stop it when the time comes. ”
"Besides, doesn't the princess still have the golden book and treasure seal in her hand? It would be great if it was used to get things done. ”
Hearing Leng Yu's words, Jing Shengwu sneered. In this case, if you want to bring down Concubine De, it seems that you have to do something to that Zhang Deshun. (To be continued.) )
