Chapter 46 The Scapegoat
After eating this meal, the queen said the question in her heart: "Wan'er, two of the dishes, aren't they?" ”
"The queen mother guessed correctly, one of the dishes is stewed with vegetarian and meat dishes, and the other is made by me with vegetarian dishes."
"Su?"
"One of them is made with grapefruit peel, and the other is with winter melon."
"I see." The queen suddenly realized.
"What? Since it's made of these two? I didn't even eat it. The fifth princess looked at me in surprise.
"The princess eats exquisite dishes, all made with real ingredients, and the princess should not be surprised if she doesn't eat them."
"It's so smart that you can come up with these to cook food."
"I'm not smart, I'm gluttonous to study."
"Wan'er is tired from cooking this meal, let's go and rest early!"
"Thank you, Queen Mother."
"Queen Mother, then I'll be with Sister Wan'er."
"Okay, let's go!"
On the way back to Xiyuan with the fifth princess, I asked her: "Princess, I have seen all the princes and princesses during this time, why don't you see the seventh prince?" ”
"Alas, the seventh brother, he has been weak and sick since he was born, and his body is weak, except for going to the hall, he is basically in the room, and he will get sick if he blows the wind for a while."
"So strict?"
"yes!"
"Isn't there anything the Imperial Doctor can do?"
"You can only go to the hall after the imperial doctor's conditioning, or you won't even be able to get out of the room."
I nodded to show that I understood, "The Seventh Prince must be able to go wherever he wants, just like the princess, and be free." ”
"I know it too, but it's hard to disobey God's will! Okay, let's not talk about such a heavy topic, you finished eating the toffee you gave me, do you still have it there? The fifth princess looked at me with wide eyes.
"I still have some on me, but not much, the rest is in the package of the post station, if the princess still wants to eat, wait out of the palace and let someone bring it in for you." As he spoke, he took out some toffee from his body and handed it to the fifth princess.
"Good! Then thank you, Sister Wan'er. ”
After returning to Xiyuan, he played backgammon with the fifth princess for a while, and then freshened up and went to sleep. When I was in the haze, I heard a noise from outside, the footsteps of the guards, and I quickly dressed and went out to see what was going on.
The guards outside all ran to the north, and when I looked closer, it was the abandoned palace, and I hurried after them to see what was going on. In fact, I was wondering in my heart, whether I was going to dig up the buried thing, could it be that the matter of Concubine Hui was exposed? can be in the palace for so many years, it won't be so light that people will be found to be on the horse's feet, let people grab the handle! Did I think highly of her?
While thinking about it, I came to the abandoned palace, which was brightly lit, and I found that there was not only the queen inside, but even the emperor was inside, but I didn't find Hui Concubine, but Hui Concubine's personal palace maid Jade was kneeling there, and there was an unconscious palace maid on the ground next to her, blood kept flowing out of her mouth, staring at her mouth, and I found that her tongue was gone, her clothes were messy, her hair was scattered, and she was very wolf.
"Ask the emperor, the queen, to be the master of the slave."
"Okay, what you said, the mourning family and the emperor know about it, and the most important thing now is to arrest that man."
"The Imperial Forest Army listened to the order, immediately searched for my Yan family, and made sure to find out the person for me."
"Yes." The Royal Guards were ordered to disperse.
"Okay, you go back and serve Concubine Hui!" The queen spoke, and Jade had no choice but to leave.
The emperor and the queen also left this palace, and the palace maid on the ground was also dragged away by the guards, and when I passed by, I could see her face clearly, wasn't this the palace maid who talked to me that day? How did she ...... I see, she's a substitute for the dead, that man? I think it's also a scapegoat. Did Concubine Hui plan this matter, or did the Queen Mother give her ideas behind her back? What does Hui Concubine have that the Queen Mother likes? Hey, it's too complicated, my head hurts, don't think about it, there will always be a day when things will fall out. When I returned to Xiyuan, I found that several princesses had woken up, and the fifth princess saw me coming back and hurriedly asked: "Sister Wan'er, when I heard the movement and came out to see, I found that you were not there, and I was scared to death." ”
"Let the fifth princess worry, I went out to see what happened, so I wasn't in the room."
"What's going on out there?" The third princess came over and asked.
"Back to the third princess, I only saw a lot of guards running to the north, and then I saw them looking for people everywhere, I don't know the details."
"Useless things, I can't even ask about anything." The caustic voice of the eighth princess came.
"Eighth sister." As soon as the third princess spoke, the eighth princess immediately reined.
"Let's all disperse if everyone is fine!" The third princess spoke, and everyone dispersed, and the fifth princess pulled me into her room and asked, "Tell me quickly, what happened?" ”
"Fifth princess, why don't you go and ask the queen tomorrow?"
"The queen mother won't tell me the truth, and I can't figure it out today, how can I sleep!"
"I don't know much, I only know that it has something to do with Hui Concubine."
"What's the concubine have to do with it?"
"Why should the princess think so much, it is very likely that tomorrow things will come to light."
"Alright! You really don't know anything else? ”
"I really don't know."
"Okay!"
When I returned to my room, I was lying on the bed and thinking about the past few days. Suddenly thought, why do I always feel that there is something to forget, I have always been monitored by the Queen Mother, such an important matter, how can I forget, miserable, then my movements during this time, wouldn't I have been told by the Queen Mother. It's a really embarrassing feeling, it feels like a circus animal for people to see. If it weren't for the fact that I was fledgling now, how could I be so timid, but in the future, I will slowly cultivate my power, and then what can the Queen Mother do.
I suddenly had a bold idea, if everything that happened during this time was related to the Queen Mother! The Queen Mother may be related to the case of Xu Zijie's father a few years ago, so when Xu Zijie stepped into Cloud City, he was monitoring his every move, and found that something was wrong, so he immediately found someone to kill the key person, so he explained why Mrs. Ning showed those disdainful eyes, because Mrs. Ning was the Queen Mother's person, and the Queen Mother knew that I was helping him find clues. Through this incident of Concubine Hui, the entire palace is under martial law, so that I can't leave the palace, so that we can contain our actions. It is very likely that they are going to do it again, which means that Mrs. Ning is now an outcast and is in a very dangerous situation, and if Xu Zijie monitors her, it will also be very dangerous.
I only hope that they won't do it so soon, but looking at the development of this matter in the palace, martial law will be lifted tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and once it is lifted, it means that they have solved the trouble. I was thinking about what was going on outside the palace all night, and the next morning I heard the palace maid and the eunuch say that martial law had been lifted. Said that it was found in the early hours of yesterday morning, the assassin who injured Hui Concubine Niangniang, this assassin was a guard in the palace, and Hui Concubine Niangniang had an affair with a palace maid in the dormitory, that day when the two had a tryst, it happened that Hui Concubine Niangniang passed by, this guard thought that Hui Concubine Niangniang found out, so he was ruthless.
This guard and the palace maid are both victims of the concubine and the queen mother, and there will never be fewer such victims in the palace. If I can leave the palace, I will immediately go to say goodbye to the queen, leave the palace and return to the post station, find that Xu Zijie is not there, and immediately rush to Ningfu. When I hurriedly arrived, I found that some people in and out of Ning Mansion were in and out, and some people were holding utensils for white things in their hands, strange, shouldn't these utensils be used in the mourning hall of the recently deceased? Don't? I hurriedly entered the Ning Mansion and found a woman's body lying in the original mourning hall, which was Mrs. Ning. Mrs. Ning is really dead, what about Xu Zijie! Will he also recruit a poisonous man, I looked around, but I couldn't find anyone, ah yes, the General's Mansion, I didn't have time to study the cause of Mrs. Ning's death, so I hurried to the General's Mansion, and pretended to be full of Yang Qianqian.
"You thing with no eyes, you're really blind." Yang Qianqian scolded loudly.
"You said I don't have eyes, how can I have dog eyes! Or do you have dog eyes and can see. He replied to her angrily, and went around and patted the door of the General's Mansion.
"You have dog eyes, and you dare to scold Miss Ben, you really don't know how thick the sky is, and Miss Ben is also what you can scold." Yang Qianqian turned around angrily and scolded me.
"Then what should you do if you insult the officials of the imperial court?" I gave her a blank look, what a spoiled young lady.
"Huh." Yang Qianqian laughed and said, "Just you, a little girl, dare to call yourself the imperial court's palace, you must know that it is a big crime to pretend to be an official of the imperial court." If you apologize to Miss Ben, I can not blame you for the past, and let you go when I didn't hear it. ”
"I'm not pretending, if you want to say it, feel free." Too lazy to take care of her.
Just then a servant came and opened the door, "Who are you?" ”
"I'm Wang Wan'er, and I'm here to find the general."
"The general is not here, you can go back!"
"Then is your young master here?"
"The young master is at home."
"Then I'll bother you to pass it on."
"Please wait." The servant closed the door and went to ask for instructions.
"Why do you want to see my uncle and brother? You beg Miss Ben, and Miss Ben will be kind enough to take you in. Yang Qianqian said proudly.
This time, I simply ignored her and ignored her existence, but she did not hesitate to say, "Miss Ben is talking to you, do you hear it?" "When she saw that I didn't react, she directly started to push me, sister, I have practiced, how can I let you push it.
As soon as she exerted her strength, I dodged away, and she didn't succeed in a few consecutive hits, and she was like a fried chicken, and when she folded her sleeves up, she pounced on me, and when she was about to hit me, she was picked up.
"Brother, you can't do this, pick me up every time."
"If you don't do this, what else do you want? I'm already light on you. ”
"Brother, Brother Haotian." Yang Qianqian said coquettishly.
"Don't give me this set, your set is good for your grandparents, and you can save it when I'm here!" Yang Haotian plucked out his ears.
