Chapter 139: Heartlessness
Concubine Ning glanced at the cuttlefish worriedly, and was worried, she was willing to come to the rescue, but now that Concubine Xi had come in person, she couldn't forcibly save the cuttlefish.
"This matter is inconclusive, how can you arrest people casually, it is better to let Concubine Qian be grounded in Xianfu Palace first, and wait for the emperor to wake up before making a decision." Concubine Ning said with a straight face, trying to reason with Concubine Xi.
Yi Wei was about to open his mouth to refute, but Concubine Xi's loud and domineering voice sounded first.
"What, Concubine Ning wants to protect her? The emperor was poisoned, even if he can wake up, he should have a good rest, this palace is in charge of the harem under the order of the emperor, this matter is under the control of the palace, according to the palace, it is best to hand over the concubine to the Zongren Mansion for interrogation. ”
Concubine Xi is strong, how can she allow others to influence her?
Concubine Ning refused to give up, and continued with a stiff head, "Concubine Qian has a deep relationship with the emperor, he will not poison the emperor, there must be a misunderstanding in this, if you have to make a big move to send Concubine Qian to the Zongren Mansion, I am afraid that it will damage her reputation, it is better to ...... first."
"What's the matter?" Concubine Xi interrupted Concubine Ning's words with her words, her eyebrows were filled with anger, and her expression was fierce, "If you dare to say more, you will collude with Concubine Qian to murder the emperor!" Get out of the way yet! ”
Concubine Ning shuddered, although she was also in the position of concubine, but if she was compared with Concubine Xi, it was 108,000 miles behind, she looked at Concubine Xi indignantly, but she didn't dare to say more.
Seeing this, the cuttlefish instantly sank a hanging heart, as if it had sunk to the bottom, Concubine Ning was heartfelt but powerless, and she couldn't help Concubine Xi at all. The palace man behind her pushed the cuttlefish again, letting her continue to walk forward, and her afterglow glanced back, as if she saw Concubine Xi's smug smile.
No, she can't just be taken away, at least she has to do something!
The cuttlefish struggled to break free of the hands on her body and ran towards Concubine Ning, she whispered a few words in Concubine Ning's ear, and Concubine Ning's expression became serious. After listening, he nodded solemnly.
In this way, the cuttlefish felt a little relieved in her heart, and she turned back to the palace people and said coldly, "Don't come here." Hongu will go by himself! ”
With that, she strode forward, heading in the direction of the Zongren Mansion.
Concubine Ning looked at the back of the cuttlefish, sighed helplessly, and she helped up Ruyi, who was still crying on the side. Advise Ruyi not to panic first, there will always be a way to do this.
Ruyi's tears were overflowing, for fear that the cuttlefish would not come back this time, "Concubine Ning, my master is innocent, even if he goes to the Zongren Mansion to be interrogated, he is not afraid, but if Concubine Xi gets in the way, it will be troublesome, and Concubine Xi will definitely not let go of the master this time." ”
Concubine Ning also understands the truth in this. She remembered the cuttlefish Fangcai's words, and said to Ruyi, "Don't panic first, go to Chuxiu Palace with the palace." ”
The oleander petals are from Wang Promise's hand, and the cuttlefish has already told Concubine Ning, and Concubine Ning wants to go to Wang Promise to ask for clarification to see if this matter is a misunderstanding or someone really has a ghost in mind.
When she arrived at Chuxiu Palace, Concubine Ning rushed straight into the room where Wang promised her, and Wang promised to be in the house, sitting on the couch in gorgeous clothes. When she saw Concubine Ning and Ruyi coming, she didn't have any doubts, but just said softly, "Concubine Ning is auspicious", but she didn't get up to salute.
Concubine Ning didn't beat around the bush. asked directly, "Wang agreed, do you know that the emperor was poisoned by oleander?" ”
Wang promised to smile a little, and the smile was like a flower, as if she had heard a happy event, and she said happily. "How can I not know, now everyone in the palace is saying that the emperor's life is difficult to protect, and the concubines have long known." ”
Wang's performance was very abnormal, not shocked or distressed at all, but showed a happy color, Concubine Ning and Ruyi glanced at each other, and both of them felt a little chill in their hearts.
Concubine Ning said sharply, "Since this is the case, then you tell this palace, how can the bowl of stewed pears with rock sugar sent by Concubine Qian to the Heart Cultivation Hall be poisonous?" You insisted on putting those petals in, could it be that you deliberately poisoned them? ”
Wang Wei looked out the window, and his voice was cold, "Do you still need to ask, naturally I poisoned it!" ”
"You...... What did you say? ”
Concubine Ning and Ruyi spoke in unison, they couldn't imagine that Wang Yu would do such a poisonous act, and they dared to admit it unashamedly.
Ruyi shook his head and asked angrily, "Why do you want to do this, you have hurt the master and the emperor, how can you be like this, the master still trusts you so much and treats you as a sister!" ”
Wang Shi looked back at Ruyi, who was angry and hateful, and couldn't help but laugh again, this time she laughed, and the oozing laughter filled the whole room, even the tassels on her bun trembled.
Concubine Ning found out that Wang Shi deliberately dressed up carefully, she was wearing a brightly colored flag skirt, wearing a lot of ornaments on her body, the green silk was coiled high, and her face was also coated with thick rouge gouache, so dressed as if she had changed a person.
Could it be that she had a plan a long time ago and deliberately caused today's result?
Concubine Ning calmed down and asked, "Wang promised, why did you do this, Concubine Qian has always treated you very well, why do you want to frame her like this?" Are you jealous of her favorite, and have long held a grudge against her? ”
Wang Shi frowned slightly and snorted coldly, "Jealous of her? It's ridiculous, I have no interest in serving the emperor, how can I be jealous and framed! ”
Ruyi wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and asked, "Then you should tell us a reason, what are you designing the poison for?" ”
At this time, hatred swelled in Wang's heart, this surging resentment made her expression distorted, she clenched her fists, and her knuckles were already white.
"For what, you ask me for?" Wang promised to grit his teeth and said fiercely, "Of course, it's to kill the emperor!" ”
As soon as these words came out, Concubine Ning was shocked, she thought that this was just an intrigue between the women of the harem, but she didn't expect it to be related to the emperor's life and death. Wang Yu looked like she was just a weak woman, how could she think of killing the emperor.
Concubine Ning suppressed the panic in her heart, "You want to kill the emperor, do you know that this is a big crime to punish the nine clans, the emperor is diligent and loves the people, and governs the world in peace and tranquility, why would you want to murder a good monarch?" ”
"You say he's a good emperor?" With tears in his eyes, Wang said bitterly, "Even if he is a virtuous monarch, he is a brother, but he is not full of brotherly affection, he can't bear to imprison his younger brothers, and want them to be called shameless pigs and dogs, he is so ruthless, can't he be killed?" ”
Looking at the Wang family with a look of hatred in front of her, Concubine Ning was puzzled, could it be that the emperor's murder had something to do with his brother? If you talk about the "pig dog" who was imprisoned, doesn't it mean Yun Yu and Yun Yu?! (To be continued.) )
