Chapter 524: A Pair of Serpentine Bracelets
Emperor Changqing thought angrily, he had known that Hua was like this, so it was better to feed the dogs.
"So, this bracelet is another one?"
Emperor Changqing's eyes flickered a little, and he cleared his throat and said, "When the other one was playing, I accidentally broke it." β
Another snake-shaped bracelet, he actually ordered someone to quietly put it into the Guan Ju Palace where the queen was imprisoned, but at that time the queen had been crazy for many years, and it was unknown where the bracelet went.
Cheng Che didn't know the ins and outs of this, but he noticed that Emperor Changqing's expression was different, and said quietly: "It turns out that this bracelet was passed down from Changchun Palace. β
Emperor Changqing waved his hand: "There is no need to mention these again. Since the prince is here, let's go out for a walk with me. β
Cheng Che patiently accompanied Emperor Changqing for a walk, and went to Cining Palace to visit the Queen Mother and the Empress.
Empress Feng is no longer disguised in front of the Queen Mother, and every time Cheng Che comes over, only her henchmen are left to serve.
The Queen Mother has been in a good mood recently, with a radiant appearance, and asked Cheng Che with a smile: "Just came from Qianqing Palace?" β
"Yes, there are some things to ask the godfather."
"It seems that the emperor has not been able to solve your doubts." The Queen Mother smiled faintly.
Cheng Che's heart moved.
The matter of the harem, the Queen Mother may be clearer.
He took out the snake-shaped bracelet: "The crown princess got a bracelet, because the strange style aroused the curiosity of her grandson, so she came to ask her father if it was a foreign tribute." β
The Queen Mother glanced at the snake-shaped bracelet and frowned: "The strange bracelet in Guli." β
Qing'e, the palace maid standing behind Empress Feng, had a flash in her eyes and was thoughtful.
Cheng Che accompanied the Queen Mother and the Queen to drink tea and chat for half an hour, raised his feet and walked out, when he suddenly heard the sound of small footsteps behind him, and then heard the woman shouting: "His Royal Highness the Prince, please stay." β
He stopped and looked back, and saw Empress Feng's henchman Qing'e, the palace maid, gasping slightly, and rushed over.
"What's the matter with Aunt Qing'e?" Cheng Che has respect for this old palace maid who has spent more than 20 years with the queen.
Qing'e hesitated for a moment, reached into her sleeve, took out a white handkerchief, and slowly opened it under Cheng Che's gentle gaze, revealing a bracelet.
It was a β dΗng β diΗn β small β with Cheng Che in his hand and said, .β³.β os_ (); The serpentine bracelet is exactly the same as the bracelet.
Cheng Che raised his eyebrows.
Things are getting more and more interesting, the father said that the other bracelet was broken by him, but it turned out to be in the hands of the queen mother's henchman Qing'e, so the one in his hand is undoubtedly the one given to Hua by his father.
"Aunt Qing'e, I don't know where the bracelet in your hand came from?"
At the mention of this, Qing'e looked angry: "If it weren't for the fact that this bracelet is too special, I'm afraid the slave would have forgotten it long ago." This was more than ten years ago, when it was the height of summer, and the precious flowers and plants in the garden had long since withered, but a wild rose had grown, and the slave maid was watering the rose, and found this bracelet beside the flower. It must be a stone that kills a thousand knives and wants to scare people with this strange-shaped bracelet! β
Cheng Che listened quietly, thinking that Emperor Changqing said that wearing this bracelet in summer can make people cool and sweat-free, and then said that he had broken it by mistake, and suddenly understood what was going on.
Thinking that it was because of the magical effect of the bracelet, the father wanted to give this bracelet to the queen mother, but because of the difficulty of giving it clearly, he sent someone to send it quietly, and the result was ...... It can well be imagined.
Seeing Cheng Che's inexplicable expression, Qing'e said apologetically: "It's the slave who is rude." Anyway, because the bracelet was really scary, the slave and maid threw it into the grocery room, and only today did he see His Royal Highness take out the same bracelet, so he turned it out and showed it to the mother. Niangniang thought that His Royal Highness might have something important to inquire about this bracelet, so she ordered the slave maid to send this one to His Highness. β
Cheng Che stretched out his hand and took the bracelet: "Thank you for the queen mother of the palace." This bracelet ...... It should have been given to the queen by the father and the queen mother. β
After he finished speaking, he smiled, left Qing'e who was stunned, and turned to leave.
Cheng Che did not return to the East Palace, but went to Yeting Prison.
Although it was morning, the winter sun was shining next to it, but as soon as I stepped into the prison, it was a little more gloomy and cold.
The wind was cold and quiet, and Cheng Che went directly to see a person - Deng An.
In the case of Concubine Hua, Deng An's ability to leave his life was not because Emperor Changqing was soft-hearted, but because he regretted that he had left many mysteries for Concubine Hua Guifei to die lightly, and he left a lot of depression and grievances for the king of a country with nowhere to vent. As the chamberlain who has been with Concubine Hua for the longest time, Emperor Changqing simply left a living mouth in case there are any more moths in the future.
"Your Highness." Deng An had already been in shape, and when he saw Cheng Che walking in front of him, his eyes were cloudy like a pool of stagnant water, calm and waveless.
Facing Deng An, Cheng Che had a complicated mood.
Although this person has done a lot of evil things with Concubine Hua, if he had changed someone else back then, he would probably have disappeared from this world.
He simply took out the bracelet and got straight to the point: "Has Gonggong Deng seen this bracelet?" β
Deng An was already in such a situation, he had no intention of hiding it, stared at the bracelet for a while, and diΗndiΗn headed: "I have seen it, this is the bracelet that the emperor gave to Hua many years ago, and it is said to be a Nanlan tribute." β
"Then does Gonggong Deng know how this bracelet later spread outside the palace?"
Deng An was silent for a moment before he said, "Hua's gift of the bracelet to the princess of King Jing." β
Cheng Che's eyebrows jumped, and he returned directly to the East Palace with a pair of bracelets.
Cheng Wei walked over and sat beside him: "Did the second brother get any news from his father?" β
Cheng Che didn't answer and asked: "Weiwei, what was the relationship between the princess of King Jing and her little aunt back then?" β
"Princess Jingwang?" Cheng Wei's face was a little strange, "Second brother, I was about to tell you that today's mother asked someone to bring news, saying that the princess of King Jing has been a little inappropriate since the winter solstice banquet, and she has invited several imperial doctors to get better. Therefore, King Jing's mansion asked his mother to come to me and wanted to invite me to the palace to see the princess. β
Cheng Wei is already the crown princess and has a noble status, so it stands to reason that she will not go out of the palace to see a doctor for others. However, the princess of King Jing is different, she is the righteous daughter of Mrs. Duan, Cheng Wei's nominal aunt, and it is not inappropriate to euphemistically invite Cheng Wei to come over to take a look.
Obsessed?
Cheng Che raised his eyebrows and muttered, "Things are getting more and more interesting." Weiwei, you haven't answered what I just said. β
Cheng pursed his lips and smiled: "You said that the relationship between the princess and my aunt, that is naturally excellent." Back then, they were handkerchiefs, and even if the princess got married and had children, she still often went out with my aunt. β
"So, on the trip that changed the fate of the little aunt, the princess was also one of the parties?"
Cheng Wei was stunned for a moment, and then diΗn headed: "That time I met my mother, I didn't ask about my aunt a lot." Mother said that there were seven or eight noble girls who went out to play together at that time, and the princess was naturally one of them. When the accident happened, the aunt fought with the gangsters in order to protect others, but was kidnapped by the gangsters, and her reputation was greatly damaged when she came back, and all those friends no longer interacted with the aunt, only the princess was still the same, and she blamed herself for that incident, and even cried several times in front of her grandmother. Second brother, why are you mentioning this? β
Cheng Che took out a pair of snake-shaped bracelets and placed them in front of Cheng Wei. (To be continued.) )
