Chapter 34: The Cuttlefish is Wronged
Not long after, a eunuch came to Changchun Palace to spread the word of Concubine Xi's mother, ordering all the concubines to go to Jingren Palace immediately to cooperate with the investigation of Guo Guiren's slippery tire.
It seems that this Guo's slippery tire is suspected to have been deliberately done, not purely accidental.
The cuttlefish didn't care, she had no contact with Guo Guiren, so naturally there would be no trouble to find her head, as for the unborn child, it was indeed pitiful and innocent, but Guo's behavior was not good, and it was not very worthy of sympathy.
Ruyi's face was solemn, and there was a little more worry between her eyebrows, she had been in Jingren Palace for a few years, and she knew a lot of dirty things in the palace, and today, I'm afraid it's not that simple.
Accompanied by Ruyi, the cuttlefish came to Jingren Palace, and before entering, Ruyi pulled the sleeve of the cuttlefish, and whispered a clear order, "Master, something may happen in a while, you must remember to be careful." ”
The cuttlefish nodded, a little more vigilant in his heart.
The matter is very important, all the concubines arrived early, no one dared to be a step late, and the queen also dragged her sick body to Jingren Palace to deal with the matter with Concubine Xi.
Everyone on the seat held their breath and waited for Concubine Xi to speak, and the air was filled with the smell of nervousness.
After a long time, a precious purple sand teacup was suddenly smashed on the ground, which made everyone startled, and they raised their heads one after another, only to see Concubine Xi's face uncontrollable anger, her eyes burning with anger, and her expression was very sharp.
"There is such a ridiculous thing in the harem, it is simply against the law of the king, who did it, hurry up and admit it to the palace, don't see the coffin and cry, otherwise you will be the one who suffers!" Concubine Xi went straight to the point, and directly asked loudly, wanting to force the perpetrator to stand up by himself.
Concubine Xi's resolute and resolute style of acting did play a deterrent role, and everyone's hearts were raised to their throats, lest they would get into trouble.
After the diagnosis of the imperial doctor, although Guo Guiren saved his life, it was difficult to get pregnant again in the future, which was really cruel to the harem woman. However, according to the imperial doctor, Guo Guiren was in good health before and there was no abnormality, and there was no poisoning, and this time the disease was extremely rare, and it was very likely that someone had been used with evil magic, so he would suddenly cause a blood collapse and slip fetus.
Seeing that no one spoke, Concubine Xi's expression turned grim, and she shouted loudly, "Evil arts are forbidden in the palace, this is known to everyone, this palace never expected that there would be people who would dare to knowingly commit crimes and use such despicable means to kill the dragon heir!" No matter what this person's intentions are, she must be found out, and she can't be spared! ”
"Yi Bin!" Concubine Xi ordered, "You take someone to search the palace immediately, and you can't let go of the East Sixth Palace and the West Sixth Palace, if anyone practices evil magic without authorization, then there will definitely be relevant evil things in her house, as long as you find an abnormality, even if there is only a little clue, you must report it to the palace!" ”
Yi Wei had already prepared, and replied respectfully, "Yes, the slave obeys." Then he went with a group of eunuchs in a hurry.
The cuttlefish glanced at Yi Hui's departing back, a little panicked, of course there would not be any unclean and harmful things in her house, but there were a lot of old things that Su promised to make, if they were found out and made public, they would definitely arouse suspicion, and it would be very troublesome to explain.
The queen mother looked at the concubines who were silent, and said, "Don't panic, the investigation and handling of this matter by the palace and Concubine Xi is based on evidence, and it will not be lightly wronged by anyone." ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces softened a lot, only Concubine Xi narrowed her eyes and sneered imperceptibly, she didn't think so.
Before Yi Yi returned from searching the palace, a flustered palace maid ran into Jingren Palace, shouting, "The slave maid has something to say, something to say." ”
Concubine Xi frowned slightly, the maid in front of her was very raw, it was definitely not arranged by her or Yi Huan, I don't know what to say, as long as it doesn't disrupt her plan.
The palace maid knelt on the ground, squeezed out two tears, and cried, "Meet the queen mother, meet the concubine Xi, please be the master of my family." ”
Concubine Xi's mind was lively, and she guessed three points when she saw this posture, and she didn't even bother to raise her eyes, so she asked disdainfully, "If you have anything to say, tell me more details." ”
"Hui Niangniang, the slave maid is the Zhichun of the Pingkang Hall of Zhongcui Palace, today my master Guo Guiren lost the dragon species, it is not an accident, someone deliberately harmed it." Zhichun looks average, but his voice is unusual, his voice is high and sharp, and it is particularly harsh with a burst of fake crying.
"This palace and Concubine Xi both know that there is someone behind this matter, and now they are investigating, it is a good thing that your protector is serious, don't worry, when Yi Hui comes back and says, maybe the truth will be revealed." The queen said patiently with a gentle face.
Zhichun stopped crying, his eyes lit up, and he said clearly: "Why do you have to wait any longer, the slave knows who this harmful spirit is, and she can tell it now." ”
The tone of this statement was not small, and everyone's hearts were raised, just waiting to hear who she could say.
"It's Su from Changchun Palace who promised!" Zhichun suddenly turned his head and stared at the cuttlefish, his eyes were full of fierce malice, and he gritted his teeth and said it word by word.
Everyone was in an uproar, and they all turned their eyes to the cuttlefish, with different looks on their faces with heavy makeup, either questioning, or disdainful, and some were gloating, such as Gu Changzai.
The cuttlefish seemed to have been hit by a thunderbolt from the sky, and only felt a "buzzing" sound in its head, and the whole person was dumbfounded, without any reaction, let alone defending itself. How could she harm Guo Guiren, this is a false accusation, and it is a naked wrong!
Ruyi hurriedly knelt on the ground, kept kowtowing, and swore an oath on his lips, "Ask the queen mother to know the truth, ask the concubine Xi to know the truth, Su promised never to harm the dragon heir, did not use evil magic to harm people, she is innocent." ”
The queen didn't believe Zhichun's words either, so she stopped several low-ranking concubines who were gossiping, and after the room was quiet, she asked nervously, "You testify that Su agreed, but what evidence is there, otherwise why would the palace believe your words." ”
Zhichun was full of confidence and replied fluently, "The slave and maid themselves are witnesses, and today the slave and maid saw Su Promise acting abnormally at the gate of Zhongcui Palace, and he was still holding a paper talisman in his hand, I don't know what he was tinkering with, at that time the slave and maid didn't take it to heart, but after Guo Guiren slipped into the evil fetus, the slave and maid reacted, and Su promised that he must be doing a curse!" If the queen doesn't believe it, you can send someone to Changchun Palace to inquire now, and see if Su promised to leave Changchun Palace alone at that time, but someone knows where she went, and you will know as soon as you ask. ”
