Chapter Ninety-Seven: Important Secrets
It was expected that things would not go well, and now that Nanzhi was able to come back safely, thinking that this time the unhappiness did not bring any unimaginable consequences, and at the moment, Qin Shujiu's heart was still stable, so he asked.
"Did something go wrong on the way?"
asked Qin Shujiu to ask Nan Zhi at first, and then said truthfully: "Nan Zhi sneaked into Yeting Prison and found out that the woman had committed suicide after she wanted to leave Yeting Prison quickly, who knew that when she left Yeting Prison, she happened to call Lai Zhaoyi to bump into her, and at that time, she called Lai Zhaoyi suspiciously and shouted for questioning. ”
Lai Zhaoyi was originally suspicious of her, but now that the woman is dead, she happened to bump into Nanzhi in Yeting Prison again, and she didn't suspect that there was a ghost in her heart. It is a crime for the palace people to enter the court prison privately, not to mention that Lai Zhaoyi has doubts, how can Nanzhi come back well, and Qin Shujiu asked at the moment: "What about afterwards?" But what happened? Calling Qin Shujiu was also worried about Nanzhi, so he continued: "At that time, Nanzhi was also afraid, and his heart told Lai Zhaoyi to inevitably bring disaster to his sister, but who knew that he happened to meet Prince Han, and it was the prince who relieved Nanzhi of the siege. ”
"Prince Han." As soon as he heard that this matter had something to do with Lihan, Qin Shujiu was even more confused, and he didn't hurry to ask, but frowned and thought slightly, and then Qin Shujiu asked, "How could Prince Han be there?" After asking, Nanzhi replied: "Nanzhi is also unclear about this matter, but at that time, Lai Zhaoyi asked Nanzhi why he was in Yeting Prison, and Nanzhi was also out of thought for a while, but Prince Han appeared at that time and relieved Nanzhi of the siege, and also asked Nanzhi if he still found the most beautiful Mulan." ”
"Mulan?" Hearing this, he was slightly puzzled, and then nodded clearly, Qin Shujiu said: "The most colorful magnolia flowers in the palace are near the Yeting Prison. In this way, I have found a good excuse for you, and I also understand how you can be there, Prince Han is kind. ”
"yes." On the side, Nanzhi said: "At that time, Nanzhi was really stunned when he called Prince Han, but fortunately, Prince Han was also kind-hearted, so he first told Lai Zhaoyi that I was looking for the gorgeous magnolia, and the magnolia in the court prison was the most beautiful in the palace, so he agreed that I would go to the court prison to find the magnolia." ”
"This magnolia flower is also a little pleasing now, by the way, what did Lai Zhaoyi say?"
"Lai Zhaoyi. What else can be said then. I went to that place but Prince Han was willing, if she was suspicious of me, didn't she clearly suspect Prince Han? Since he couldn't say anything, he just let me go. ”
After all, Prince Han is not an ordinary prince and nobleman, so naturally she is not a Zhaoyi, but she is suspicious at will. With Lihan's testimony, Nanzhi is only possible.
Speaking of this, it also made Qin Shujiu breathe a sigh of relief for the time being. Then he said: "In this way, I want to thank Prince Nahan." Otherwise, you're afraid you'll have to go with Gonggong Yan in the Prison. Rao is Qin Shujiu also felt a chill in his heart when he heard such words, and said: "Sister, don't make fun of Nanzhi with this kind of music, that Tingting Prison is a ghost-like place." Namggyi, I don't like it either. ”
No one in the palace would like that, seeing Nan Zhi say this, he also smiled, and then he just smiled and meditated, and after thinking about it for a while, Qin Shujiu said lightly: "Even if Prince Han testifies to you, but that woman is dead after all, how can Lai Zhaoyi be suspicious of me." She, I must not let her live long. ”
And a few days later, Lai Zhaoyi didn't summon her to Lifang Palace to chat, there was no need to go to Lifang Palace to pretend to be a peaceful face, Qin Shujiu was also comfortable in his bedroom, except for occasionally gossiping with Su Die and distracting himself, he didn't do anything to cause doubt, and Nanzhi did the same, but everything was as usual, and there was no strange way.
Zhong Shagong is as always, quiet and easy, but quiet is only a superficial thing, but secretly what should be done has never stopped, that is, after being quiet for many days, there is new news from that person, and this time the news makes people feel crazy when they hear it. After looking for that person, he got from that person what Qin Shujiu asked him to inquire about before, and when he learned such a big secret, Nanzhi hurried back to the palace to show Qin Shujiu.
It's not that there is no suspicion in this place, but I was still a little surprised when it was really confirmed, so I sat there and meditated for a long time, and Nan Zhi on the side didn't dare to say much to disturb, and after Qin Shujiu thought about it, he cleared his heart and asked, "How sure is this thing?" ”
The things that are known are really important, and it is impossible to make a mistake at half, seeing Qin Shujiu ask Nanzhi like this, he replied; "That person also knows that this matter is very important, because he is worried that something is wrong, my sister's big thing has been repeatedly confirmed several times, and it can be determined."
"Sure." Nodding his head, Qin Shujiu said, "Even if you can be sure that you want to come here, this matter is also credible." After saying this first, and then suddenly smiled as if thinking about something, Qin Shujiu smiled: "I was thinking that there was no good opportunity to start before, but now it has come." After finishing speaking, he looked at Nanzhi, Qin Shujiu hooked his hand and motioned for him to cover his ears, and when Nanzhi leaned in his ear, Qin Shujiu whispered in her ear, and Nanzhi also nodded repeatedly, and waited until Qin Shujiu finished speaking before he understood.
"Sister's meaning Nanzhi is clear, and it must be done properly."
"It's inevitable that it's appropriate, this is a great opportunity, how can you miss it in vain. Since he has such a thought, it is better to help him sit down, so as not to be unwilling in his life, as for Lai Zhaoyi. You smiled coldly and then said: "Who told her to be involved with that person, so far you can't blame me." ”
When the opportunity comes, it is to hand and hold, otherwise, it will not live up to the good opportunity given by God. Qin Shujiu's mind has been settled, Nanzhi only needs to get everything done, as for the most important place.
Naturally, she did it herself.
A month of grounding, the time is long and long, but it can be said that it is short but it is also the matter of the thirty days and nights, not thirty days of ups and downs will pass, after returning to the palace for a month, the grounding of Hou Xian Concubine is also lifted, and the grounding of the Xian Concubine for a month is panicked, that is, I am worried that this excessive idle will make Hou Xian Fei bored with illness, when the Xian Concubine grounding order just released Qin Shujiu, the greenhouse hall personally knocked. Qin Shujiu's thoughts are also clear to Concubine Xian, and she is not tired of her arrival, but she is quite happy, that is, she summoned and then talked to Qin Shujiu in the palace about the unhappiness in her heart this month.
It's not because of Zhaoyi that she's like this. Now that the grounding has been lifted, she can't just stop there, and her words are also meant not to spare her. Qin Shujiu is perched on the good tree of Concubine Hou Xian, naturally he is looking forward to Concubine Hou Xian's horse, and he is also a thoughtful person, if he talks to anyone, he will laugh and listen carefully, but today somehow, he actually has the intention of wandering. Concubine Hou Xian is the fourth concubine, how can she talk to her and let people wander casually, when she found out that Qin Shujiu's mind was not here, Concubine Hou Xian was unhappy, and said angrily after the reshoot.
"Good for you, my fair lady. This palace is distracted when talking to you. You still have this palace in your eyes. ”
Qin Shujiu was also shocked when she called Concubine Hou Xian to remake such a reshot, and then hurriedly knelt down and bowed, Qin Shujiu said: "Niangniang forgives the sin, the concubine did not mean to offend Niangniang." It's just that. Just ......"
"Just what?" She has been unhappy for the past month. Now that Qin Shujiu is still distracted in front of her, wouldn't it make her even more displeased, but Qin Shujiu is still somewhat useful at the moment. Concubine Hou Xian also pressed it, and she was unhappy in her heart, just to see what "just" she had.
The inquiry was to suppress the displeasure in his heart, and it also gave Qin Shujiu a chance to explain, but Qin Shujiu was looking away and didn't know what to say, so hesitating and thinking made Concubine Hou Xian feel displeased, so he said in an accentuated tone: "What? What else is there about my fair beauties is unknowable in this palace. ”
"Don't be angry, concubine, concubine." Another hesitation, between the eyebrows was full of hesitation and correction, that is, kneeling in that place did not know what to do, and finally under the questioning of Concubine Hou Xian, Qin Shujiu bit his lip and then said: "The reason why the concubine is distracted is not that she is disrespectful to her mother, but that she has one thing hidden in her heart and really doesn't know how to deal with it, that is, it is difficult to eat and sleep, and she doesn't know how to do it properly." ”
After listening to Qin Shujiu's words, Concubine Hou Xian was confused, and she straightened up when she felt a little something, and then looked at her and asked: "My fair beauty has always seen everything very openly, what can make a beauty sleep and eat uncomfortably." "I asked because I was worried, but this matter seemed to be extremely important, but after Concubine Hou Xian asked, Qin Shujiu didn't dare to answer directly, but still hesitated. Seeing Qin Shujiu, he bowed his head and waited for Concubine Xian to be awe-inspiring, and then said: "There is no one else now, if my fair beauties have anything uneasy, you can tell this palace, and this palace will definitely call the shots for my fair beauties." ”
There is no one else left and right, so there is no need to worry about the uneasy thing to get out, Concubine Hou Xian has reached such a point that Qin Shujiu can only say, bowed his head and thought for a moment, Qin Shujiu said: "The concubine has heard the people below mention it recently, mention. ”
"What's the point?" The more she felt that something had happened, Concubine Hou Xian was in a hurry to ask at the moment, Qin Shujiu paused for a moment and then replied: "I heard the palace people mention it in private, saying that it was King Nan and Lai Zhaoyi who met in private, and their behavior was hidden and ambiguous, but I don't know what happened. "This kind of thing is a taboo in the palace, even if he said Qin Shujiu's words, the more he said it, the smaller he became, and after all the words were finished, he was silent.
After the words fell, she didn't say much, but after hearing this, Concubine Hou Xian angrily reprimanded: "My fair beauty, do you know what you are talking about? Suddenly, the sound of loud drinking was enough to call Qin Shujiu to ask for sin, and he responded: "The concubine also knows that this matter is important, so she doesn't dare to say more, but this matter is related to the royal face, once you hear about it, it is a heart-to-heart commemoration, and it is really difficult to sleep and eat with peace of mind." ”
If this thing is true, Liqing will definitely be angry, although Concubine Hou Xian is angry, but she is secretly happy in her heart. If this thing is really true, Lai Zhaoyi will have no place to turn over, and it is inevitable to reprimand, but after the angry reprimand, Concubine Hou Xian collected her anger again, just glanced at Qin Shujiu and asked: "If such a foul word is spread to the ears of others without evidence and evidence, it will inevitably fall into a felony of framing the concubine by telling right and wrong, can My Fair Beauty know the seriousness of this matter?" ”
"The concubine thinks she is clear, but she is just ......"
"Just what?"
After thinking about it, he looked at Concubine Hou Xian, and after looking at it directly, he seemed to have a fixed heart, Qin Shujiu said: "If the concubine has also seen Lai Zhaoyi behaving intimately in the Nanwang Imperial Garden, is the mother credible?" ”
The palace people's rumors are unbelievable, but if Qin Shujiu saw it with his own eyes, this matter would be much more credible, Qin Shujiu is not the kind of person who has nothing to do, as soon as she said this, Concubine Hou Xian immediately realized the weight of this matter, that is, she let Qin Shujiu get up, and then asked her about this important matter, and Qin Shujiu also told Concubine Hou Xian about what she saw in the palace banquet and imperial garden one by one. Since then, this is to be a little more ambiguous, otherwise how can Hou Xiansheng take advantage of this to pull down Lai Zhaoyi's thoughts.
Concubine Hou Xian listened to what Qin Shujiu said, and after hearing it, she sneered and said: "Hmph, this palace knows that the slut is not a person who can afford to do anything, but I never thought that she would do such a shameless thing. Since he did such a thing, he should not blame His Majesty for investigating and prosecuting this pair of adulterers. ”
After speaking, he was about to leave the palace to pay tribute to the saint, so he asked Qin Shujiu to stop him in a hurry, and then persuaded: "Niangniang, don't give your majesty." ”
"This palace must not give your majesty, what? Is it possible to do such a shameless thing and ask this palace to help them hide it? Qin Shujiu's words made Concubine Hou Xian angry, that is, she reprimanded, and Qin Shujiu replied: "Niangniang misunderstood the meaning of the concubine, and the concubine did not persuade Niangniang to hide it for Lai Zhaoyi, but as the saying goes, take the thief to see the stolen goods and catch the adulterer, this is unfounded, and go to His Majesty to report, if you ask Lai Zhaoyi to take the opportunity to beat a rake Niangniang, the gain outweighs the loss." Besides, the reason why Niangniang was grounded was related to Lai Zhaoyi, and now she wants to sue Lai Zhaoyi for fornication, isn't it a suspicion of revenge? ”
After the words fell, she also asked Concubine Hou Xian to calm down slightly, although she returned to "How can this palace be such a person", but she also understood the deep meaning of Qin Shujiu's words, and she was also slightly quiet. After seeing that Concubine Hou Xian was calm, Qin Shujiu continued: "Even if Niangniang is not such a person, her lips and tongue are longer than the mouths of others, and if she makes a false accusation, she can't tell it. Moreover, one of these two people is His Majesty's Zhaoyi, and the other is His Majesty's brother, if these two people do not have real evidence and only rely on Niangniang's words, I am afraid that they will have to make Your Majesty have a dislike for Niangniang. ”
The identities of the two are not the kind of false accusations without evidence, and they are also stopped by Qin Shujiu, otherwise Concubine Hou Xian will do something bad, but now she is quiet, but after calming down, she is also unwilling, and angrily returned to the seat and waited for Concubine Xian and said: "What? Otherwise, if they really messed up the law of the palace, with real evidence, real evidence, how easy is it for Lai Zhaoyi's mind to find her true evidence? ”
After many years in the harem, how can she not have a wrist, but she has no power and no official support, but an ordinary woman can sit firmly in the position of Zhaoyi, and it is not easy to find her handle. For many years, I have not been able to do anything to Lai Zhaoyi, because I can't find something available, but now I see that there is something in front of me, but because of another high-ranking and powerful royal brother who is Liqing, she doesn't dare to act rashly, which really makes Concubine Hou Xian resentful.
This matter must not be reckless, it is really a shame to look at the opportunity in front of them, and refuse to look at Concubine Hou Xian, who has missed the opportunity like this, but after seeing Qin Shu on the side, he suddenly thought about it, and then said: "My fair beauty, but there is still something to hide from the palace?" ”
At a glance, there were other things hidden in his heart, because there were other Hou Xianfei who also asked, and this question really made Hou Xianfei ask It was even more shocking, but Qin Shujiu's words were also a little frightened, even Hou Xianfei was surprised when she heard it.
She couldn't have imagined that King Nan and Lai Zhaoyi would do such a thing. (To be continued.) )
