Chapter 144: The Lady Concubines Help Each Other
Everything pays attention to evidence, and now it is also conclusive human and physical evidence, Qin Shujiu and He Baolin's disfigurement are afraid that they will not be able to do anything, that is, after listening to what Gong Yu said and then listening to Concubine Houxian's words, Liqing was silent for a long time before he opened his mouth, looked directly at Qin Shujiu and then asked.
"Does this have anything to do with you?" After inquiry, Qin Shujiu replied: "This matter is not done by the concubine, nor is it done by the concubine in the palace, I hope Your Majesty will see it." After Qin Shujiu replied like this, Concubine Hou Xian immediately refuted: "Whoever such a harmful thing falls has nothing to do with him, who would admit such a harmful deed?" If it weren't for jealousy, then my fair lady would have said it, how could it be so coincidental that He Baolin caused harm today, but it was your palace in the palace that also happened to go out of the palace, and happened to touch He Baolin's medicinal food? ”
This place is bitten to death, when it is to look back, Qin Shujiu asked Nan Zhi for a while, and Nan Zhi also said in detail: "Your Majesty, the maid has never done such a harmful thing, yesterday Jieyu ordered the maid to go to the inner chamberlain to get some ingredients, that is, to retrieve the maid and go to Zhong Sha Palace." On the way, she met this palace girl, and it was she who begged her maid to temporarily help her carry the food box with medicinal food, saying that she was in a hurry and forgot the crab roe crisp ordered by He Baolin, and if she didn't bring it back with you, she would probably be punished by He Baolin. The maid also wanted to help her at that time, that is, she helped her carry the food box, but she did not do anything harmful. ”
Because of the palace Yu's hard begging, Nanzhi became kind, who knew that this kindness had harmed herself, and she regretted it in her heart at the moment. It's just that this truth is not convincing, but after hearing Nanzhi's detailed words, Concubine Hou Xian asked: "Since you have wronged others, do you have any witnesses?" ”
"Concubine Yuxian, when it is there, there is only one servant, and there is no one to get a certificate."
"Since there is no witness, it is impossible to prove what you say, the person who poisoned people categorically has no intention of explicitly admitting it, and the medicinal food that came out of the Inner Servant Province all the way only passed through this palace and your hands, and then was sent directly to the Fangwei Palace, if it wasn't for the evil intentions you did on the way to do this harmful thing. Could it be that the palace maid in the Fangyu Palace harmed his master? In this palace, there is no reason why your own palace wants to murder your own master, and you did it. ”
If there is no one to prove, Nanzhi's truth will not be trusted, so he will refute it and then ask Liqing. Concubine Hou Xian looked at Liqing and could call the shots for He Baolin. As soon as this begging word fell, a word came from outside the palace and said: "Even if it is only through the hands of these two palace officials, it cannot be asserted that it is the palace people of Zhong Sha Palace who harm people." Suddenly, the words inserted made the thoughts of the concubines follow, and they looked towards the source of the sound, and saw Concubine Lin Shufei walking in from outside the palace.
When the words fell, the person had already entered the temple, and then bowed to the front of the hall, and then bowed to the temple, that is, this body owed Liqing slightly, and then stepped forward to support him and said: "Didn't you feel the cold?" Why did you get out of the palace? When it was a close inquiry, Lin Shufei coughed a few times after the inquiry, and then replied softly.
"The concubine heard that something had happened to this Fangwei Palace, and after listening to the palace and the twists and turns, she couldn't help but come."
"Grievances?" This sentence seems to hide a deep meaning, when she heard Lin Shufei's words, Liqing asked: "What did Concubine Shufei come for?" Concubine Lin replied: "The concubine came for the grievances of Miao Jieyu. ”
He spoke softly, and coughed a few more times when the words fell. After these few light coughs, Concubine Lin Shufei said to the tears behind her: "Don't quickly tell your majesty what you know, so as not to suffer this great grievance." When he heard this, he immediately stepped forward, and then bowed down and said.
"Your Majesty, when the maid passed by the cloister pavilion yesterday, she saw Su Yun in Fang Hui Palace and Nan Zhi of Zhong Sha Palace, and she also saw Nan Zhi temporarily proposing medicinal food for Su Yun." When the words fell, I saw that Liqing's eyes changed slightly, and then after a quiet study, he said: "Look at this matter, what have you seen clearly?" ”
"Your Majesty, although it was far away at that time, but the maid also saw it clearly, it was that Suyun who begged Nanzhi to help him for the time being, and then left in a hurry. During this period, Nanzhi did not lift the food box, and it is even more unlikely that he poisoned He Baolin in the food box. The words were clear and loud, that is, he testified for Nanzhi, but this testimony was contrary to Concubine Hou Xian. At that moment, the virtuous concubine said sharply: "How can the saint talk nonsense, isn't it because the palace has wronged this palace maid." ”
When the words fell, Concubine Lide sneered and said: "Sister, this palace feels strange when she hears this, could it be that my sister thinks that the palace maid next to Concubine Shu can still blind Her Majesty Xià and favor Jieyu?" ”
The tears were Concubine Lin Shufei's person, and it was Concubine Lin Shufei who signaled her to tell the truth, but now the words were said truthfully, but Concubine Hou Xian clearly pointed out that the tears were nonsense, didn't it directly refer to Concubine Lin Shu's protection. At that moment, Concubine Hou Xian's face also changed, and she glared at Concubine Lide angrily, and then looked at Liqing and said.
"Your Majesty, the concubine didn't mean this, but she felt a little strange after hearing the tears. Sister Shufei has been feeling cold recently, and her body is unwell, and she is not by her sister's side, how could she appear in the cloister pavilion so coincidentally. And even if it was really a coincidence that he passed through that place, Su Yun also said that he went back to the Shang Food Bureau to get the crab roe crisp, and during this period, he was afraid that the medicinal diet would stay in Nanzhi's hands for a long time, even if the tears were really seen, it was impossible to be there without nothing until Su Yun came back, this fact does not make sense. ”
There is such a possibility in the way, but it is unreasonable to be idle until the end of the day, so the words fell a little and then looked at the tears, and Concubine Hou Xian continued to ask: "It is unreasonable, but it is for it, unless the tears know that someone will poison He Baolin yesterday, so he is guarding there to excuse Nanzhi." ”
First of all, she suspected that Miao Jieyu had a harmful heart, and now she has a suspicion on Lin Shufei, saying that Lin Shufei intends to shield and deceive the saint, such an accusation is categorically impossible, and at the moment Empress Zheng's face also sank, and immediately shouted slightly: "Virtuous concubine." It was this loud shout that made Concubine Xian understand what she was saying and usurped her position, and she was busy asking for sin, and it was this crime that asked Concubine Xian to answer.
"It's common for Concubine Xian's sister to be suspicious, but yesterday's incident was also a coincidence, and it was my sister who left the palace in tears." When the words fell, he replied: "Your Majesty, Niang Niang suddenly became interested in seeing longevity flowers yesterday, but because she was unwell, she couldn't leave the palace and the maid was looking for Niang Niang. It's just that the longevity flowers at the cloister pavilion bloomed the earliest, so I went to that place. At that time, Su Yun took Nanzhi to temporarily carry the food box and was folding the longevity flower not far away, so he stayed for a long time, and he also looked at it. ”
replied with words, which was to reply to Concubine Hou Xian's doubts, but also to correct Nanzhi's grievances. After hearing this, Liqing opened his mouth and said: "It is true that the longevity flowers in the cloister pavilion in the palace bloom the earliest. After these words fell, Empress Zheng also opened her mouth and said: "In this way, He Baolin's matter has nothing to do with Zhong Sha Palace. "Since it is the testimony of the palace maid in Concubine Lin Shu's palace in person, I really can't blame Qin Shujiu for this matter.
As soon as Empress Zheng's words fell to Concubine Lide, she snorted coldly, snorted slightly, and then glanced at Concubine Hou Xian. Concubine Lide said lazily: "Fortunately, Concubine Shu came in time, otherwise this Miao Jieyu is afraid that she will have to bear this big crime." ”
These words are obviously aimed at Concubine Hou Xian, and this matter is also a sure thing when it arrives, who knew that Concubine Lin Shu would be killed on the way, but it was a testimony for Nanzhi. Concubine Lin Shu has never participated in disputes in the palace. has always been a person who is used to being idle, and it is because of this that Li Qing's words are more convincing and convincing.
At the moment, even if the evidence is conclusive, it is impossible to turn it over at this time, and after Concubine Lide took advantage of the ridicule, Liqing already looked at Concubine Hou Xian with her eyes. There was no deep meaning in Rin's eyes, but it was so cold that people's hearts trembled, and it was this Rin's eyes that looked at Su Yun for a moment before Liqing looked at Su Yun and asked, "You may be sure that this palace maid has poisoned He Baolin's meal." ”
At this point, it was Concubine Lin Shufei who came out to testify, and under the cold gaze of Liqing, Su Yun was already frightened, and now she asked in a deep voice, and she didn't dare to think about it anymore, so she was busy pleading and begging: "Son." The maid didn't know, but the meal was through Nanzhi's hand, and after coming back, Baolin felt extremely itchy after eating, so he ......"
"So you wronged Nanzhi and caused you to be wronged?" It was already made this palace maid angry, and at the moment she sank her face, Su Die stepped forward and said: "You, the palace maid, in order to protect yourself, put the responsibility on others, if it wasn't for your request, how could Nanzhi touch He Baolin's medicinal food." It's a good heart, but I told your cheap maid to make a false accusation. It's that you, a, lost three or four things and forgot He Baolin's instructions to cause the medicinal diet to leave, who knows if the medicinal diet has ever left on the way. Your Majesty, this cheap woman's words are unbelievable. ”
The fact that Qin Shujiu was wronged made Su Die angry. is also a little thin on top of these words, when it is Liqing, I hope that Liqing can clearly observe and return Qin Shujiu's innocence. Su Die was angry, Liqing still didn't show his face, he still looked at Su Yun with such a dignified look, and asked.
"After taking the crab roe crisp back, can you go straight back to Fangwei Palace?" No need to be angry. He just asked with cold eyes, how could Wang Tianwei be a small palace maid who could be disobeyed, when he was about to be frightened, so that Liqing asked Su Yun so much that his soul was about to disperse. Kneeling and trembling, Su Yun replied: "Your Majesty, maid, maid, maid felt unwell on the way back to the medicinal meal, but I couldn't see anyone on the side, that is, put the meal in the pavilion for the time being." This was said with a bit of panic, and when the words fell, Suyun immediately kowtowed and asked for forgiveness.
At this point, it can be regarded as clear, and after hearing this, Concubine Lide sneered and said: "In this way, it is really impossible to say what the medicinal diet passed through the hands of several people." "No one saw it, even if it was accidental, it was impossible to say what was added, it was this palace maid who pushed all the blame on Nanzhi in order to support her own involvement, which also made Qin Shujiu suffer grievances.
Hearing this, it is already completely clear, and at the moment Queen Zheng scolded and then ordered someone to drag this palace maid down, even though Su Yun cried and begged for mercy, but this crime of bullying the king was categorically unforgivable, and it was dragged down at the moment, and I was afraid that this fate was also clear in my heart.
After dragging the who deceived the saint, the palace was restored to tranquility, and Empress Zheng got up and walked to Qin Shujiu's place and then helped her stand up in person, and then said: "It's that my sister has been wronged again." The words fell, and Qin Shujiu, who was supported by Empress Zheng, bowed his body and bowed his favor, and then said: "With His Majesty and Niangniang here, how can the concubine be wronged?" ”
After saying this, Concubine Lide continued: "Yes, the queen mother is the most honest, and she will not let people be wronged, but if it is not for the coincidence of Concubine Shu this time, I am afraid that the responsibility of Jieyu will also be settled." He smiled and then looked at Concubine Hou Xian, and continued with a lazy look on her eyebrows.
"It's that Concubine Xian really wronged the dead this time, if it weren't for the palace maid of Sister Shufei's palace maid who was there, this matter would really be unclear. It is good for the virtuous concubine to tie a qiē in the palace in her heart, but she will still have more brains in the future, so as not to encounter such a thing as today, if she is smaller, it is just one or two more concubines who have been wronged, but if it is bigger, this is a big crime of bullying the king, even if the virtuous concubine is favored no matter how she is favored, I am afraid that my majesty will also be cold. ”
This time the bite of He Baolin was done by Qin Shujiu, it was Concubine Hou Xian, and now the truth is clear, her bite just now must have become a false accusation, and it has also become a big crime of bullying the king. Concubine Lide took advantage of the situation to ridicule Concubine Hou Xian, and she was angry in her heart, but she couldn't refute it, so she could only kneel down and then bow down and beg: "Your Majesty, it was the concubine who didn't thoroughly investigate the situation and ignored the palace maid's deception and caused Jieyu to suffer such a grievance, this is the fault of the concubine, and I beg Your Majesty to surrender." ”
The grievance is suffered, but Concubine Hou Xian should be punished today, and Concubine Hou Xian is also slightly disappointed, so she looks at it but doesn't want to say more, this is to look at it and then exhale Changshu, Liqing looked at Queen Zheng and said: "This is a matter of the harem, I don't interfere, it's up to you to decide." ”
Empress Zheng is the master of the harem, and it is also appropriate to leave such a matter to her, and then Empress Zheng owes her body to receive the decree and then says: "Concubine Xian listened to the words of the palace maid in vain but did not find out everything, that is, she said that He Baolin's matter was done by Miao Jieyu, and it was considered a false accusation for Miao Jieyu to suffer such a grievance." It's just that in view of the fact that Concubine Xian's sister is also dedicated to His Majesty, the concubine feels that this matter will not be punished heavily. ”
The words fell before Concubine Xian pleaded, and Liqing said at the moment: "Since it is the queen's request, this heavy punishment will be waived." ”
Concubine Lide, who had just fallen there with these words, said: "Your Majesty's will should not be violated, but the concubine feels that this is inevitable but must be punished, after all, this matter involves not only Jie Jieyu who has been wronged, but Concubine Xian can be regarded as almost deceiving Your Majesty." If it weren't for His Majesty, Shengming was only afraid that this grievance would have been confirmed, and this grievance would be a big matter for the king, and the queen would not be kind for a while, even if it was such a thing. ”
But as Concubine Lide said, it is not unpunished if it involves the crime of bullying the king, and she has already calculated in her heart, and now Queen Zheng said: "This palace is the master of the harem and is believed by His Majesty, since it is a virtuous concubine involved in bullying the king, even if it cannot be punished, it is to remove the matter of Mrs. Anguo from the palace next month."
