Chapter Seventy-Four: Exposing Chunxiang
The night was dark, the moon was hazy, and a thin figure appeared in front of the gate of Yongshou Palace, and after talking to her father-in-law at the door for a while, she stepped in sneakily, and the sound of heavy footsteps echoed in the silence.
In the Xianfu Palace, the cuttlefish had already arranged for the green pothos to keep an eye on Chunxiang, and as soon as the spring fragrance left, the green pothos immediately stopped pretending to sleep and ran to inform the cuttlefish.
Where can she go at night, either to find Concubine Xi or to make trouble with the queen.
Yongshou Palace and Jingren Palace are far apart, and the direction is also different, Shungui, who has been guarding the door, secretly followed Chunxiang for a while, and saw that she was going in the direction of Yongshou Palace, so he quickly notified the cuttlefish.
Knowing that Haruka was going to find the queen, the cuttlefish probably guessed her intentions, but she didn't expect that Haruka would be so stupid and think of such a bad way to jump over the wall in a hurry, just to frame her?
The cuttlefish put on a splendid butterfly pattern shirt, drank two sips of refreshing herbal tea, and then brought Ruyi pothos, Xiao Yuezi and Shungui, and the group went to Yongshou Palace to catch ghosts.
She glanced at Ruyi and the others behind her, and showed a somewhat determined look on her face, at least she still had them to back her up, so that she wouldn't lose too badly because of a Chunxiang.
Yongshou Palace.
"Queen Mother, the slave maid has something important to tell you, the sutra that Su Chang is sending you today is a birthday gift, she copied it in a hurry, it is full of errors, it is really disrespectful, if you don't believe it, just take it out and check it, it is obvious." It was hard to hide the excitement in his tone.
Looking at the flushed and elevated Chunxiang in front of her, the queen asked tiredly, "What scriptures?" When did Su Chang send the scriptures, and she sent you? ”
Chunxiang hurriedly said, "It's your birthday gift, there are many problems and omissions in that hand-copied scripture, it is enough to see that Su Chang is disrespectful to you, she is just fooling you at will!" ”
"What? Aren't you from Xianfu Palace, why are you here now? Report your master? There are many birthday gifts in this palace, but I have never seen any scriptures. You know what you're saying, and Hongu doesn't understand a word. ”
At this time, the cuttlefish also rushed over with people!
The queen was tired all day and wanted to go to bed early, but was suddenly woken up by Haruka. Listening to her say a lot of brainless nonsense, and then seeing the cuttlefish coming with the palace people in a menacing manner, the scene was really strange.
When Haruka saw the cuttlefish, the whole person immediately froze in place, her eyes widened in disbelief. There was already a circle of cold sweat on his forehead, and his pale lips trembled unconsciously, "Master, master, why are you, why are you here?" ”
She thought that she had done this seamlessly, and she didn't expect it to be noticed, but she could be caught here.
Ignoring Haruka, the cuttlefish stepped forward and respectfully greeted the queen, who bent over and explained. "The concubine came here late at night to disturb the mother's rest, it really shouldn't be, Xianfu Palace has this ugly thing, and it is also the fault of the concubine, if it is not for the negligence of the subordinates on weekdays, how can Chunxiang be a loophole?" ......" She explained the ins and outs of the matter succinctly, and after a moment, the queen finally understood the reason and couldn't help frowning.
The queen had an epiphany. "No wonder someone from the palace came to report just now, saying that a palace maid in Xianfu Palace had 100,000 urgent news to report, and the palace thought it was something big, so he hurriedly summoned her." As soon as she came in, she began to talk about some scriptures, which made the palace a little confused, but it turned out to be so! Haruka, are you guilty? The following are guilty of plotting misdeeds and harming the master in vain! You still have the face to come to see Hongu. Say, who instructed you? ”
The always gentle queen was angry, which made Chunxiang frightened, she raised her head and looked at the cuttlefish pitifully, but the response was only cold eyes, she had to kneel on the ground and tremble and beg for mercy, "No one instructed the slave and maid, it was the slave and the maid who were confused for a while, and the slave and maid did not dare anymore, begged the queen mother, begged Su Chang to be there, let the slave and maid go this time, and ...... in the future"
Before Chunxiang finished speaking, the cuttlefish interrupted her words with a loud voice, and reprimanded angrily, "Shameless, you are embarrassed to say such things, Chunxiang, tell you the truth, in fact, I have long been suspicious of you, so I deliberately used the scriptures to test you, and you really showed your feet, and I treated you very well in vain!" At this point, the friendship between you and my master and servant should be fed to the dogs, and you should not pretend in front of me! ”
Hearing this, Haruka suddenly sat down on the ground, knowing that it was hopeless, and the only thing she could do was to close her teeth and resign herself to fate.
Seeing this, the queen sighed heavily and said, "Chunxiang is a person from Xianfu Palace, so Su Chang will deal with it with you, this kind of bold maid can no longer be used, do you see whether to take it to the Shen Criminal Division for a good interrogation, or should it be punished into the Xin Zheku for slavery." ”
"This maid is full of nonsense, and interrogation is meaningless, punish her with a cane, throw her into the Xinzheku and let her fend for herself." The cuttlefish turned his face away and said coldly.
In the face of such a ruthless betrayal, she had no need to be soft-hearted, so she simply relented and let Chunxiang eat the bitter fruit, and the two would never see each other again.
Seeing that the master had spoken, Shungui immediately stepped forward to block Chunxiang's mouth that was about to beg for mercy, and beckoned Xiao Yuezi to twist Chunxiang and take her out, waiting for the early morning to do it.
The cane punishment is not only the pain of flesh and skin, the cane is in the hand, life and death, the severity is only between a thought, with Chunxiang's small body bones, it is estimated that it will not be able to withstand thirty boards, and then it will fall into the Xinzhiku to serve, but life and death are unpredictable.
Chunxiang's matter has been resolved, and it is inconvenient for the cuttlefish to stay in the Yongshou Palace, she said in a low voice, "The queen mother is magnanimous, she did not blame the concubine for disturbing for no reason, and also helped to send off Chunxiang, the concubine is grateful, the night is already late, if there is nothing else, the concubine will not disturb you to rest here." ”
The cuttlefish was low, her face was bloodless, she stood aside with her head down, the queen understood her distress, and said softly, "Okay, you can step down, go back and rest early." ”
After returning to his dormitory, the cuttlefish sat on the chair weakly, there seemed to be tears in the corners of his eyes, people's hearts are flesh and blood, even if they hate, they will eventually have compassion.
Ruyi stood in a daze, her mood was also low to the bottom, and she said sadly: "Chunxiang suffered by herself, but we still have to feel sorry for her for a while, it's really unfair." ”
Soon she remembered something again, and asked in a low voice, "By the way, master, why did you punish her directly just now, why didn't you interrogate?" If she had been tried, she might have been able to say more useful things. ”
The cuttlefish shook his head disapprovingly and said, "Judging her? You also know that Chunxiang has a great relationship with Concubine Xi, if she confesses Concubine Xi, I can even form a bond with Concubine Xi, with my current ability, if I want to fight with Concubine Xi, that is, my arms twist my thighs, I am too self-conscious, how dare I take the initiative to provoke her. Let's stop this matter for now, and we'll see the opportunity to act again in the future. ”
Ruyi suddenly understood that he could drive away Chunxiang without offending Concubine Xi, so he could only do this.
The cuttlefish slowly closed its eyes and fell asleep uncomfortably. )
