485 Sticks
"Niangniang, will that master act?" A palace maid asked quietly.
"Naturally." Concubine Hua fiddled with a purple silk chrysanthemum, and said lightly: "Without an heir, the queen mother will always feel that her status is unstable...... If the emperor is confused by someone outside and no longer stays in the harem, when will she have an heir? ”
"Therefore, in order for her stomach to bulge, she will definitely not watch the emperor confused."
"But why didn't the queen mother expose it to the queen mother herself, but let the queen mother make meritorious contributions?" The palace maid was a little puzzled.
"What is meritorious service?" Concubine Hua said lightly: "Do you think the Queen Mother will be grateful to someone for exposing the emperor's private misconduct?" The old man is old, and if he is suddenly stimulated, who knows what will happen. If you want to make meritorious contributions, where is it easy. Besides, the queen is a wife, and I am a concubine, even if my husband behaves inappropriately, it is not my turn to be a concubine to persuade her. ”
The palace maid said flatteringly: "This palace, the mother is precious, where can a 'concubine' be compared." ”
Concubine Hua pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "Ming'er let the people from the Department of Internal Affairs move these flowers, and just leave three or two pots." It's too much, it's smoked. ”
The palace maid hurriedly responded.
"Are you all ready?" The Empress Dowager looked at the jujube red and dark gold Fushou pattern coat on the hanger, and she didn't like it a little, and said: "It's a new moon and a full moon, and it's not a mourning family's birthday, isn't it too much to wear like this?" ”
"Queen Mother, haven't you seen all the dresses of the Lord of the Crescent Moon? The color of the red and bright gold complements your old body just right! When the time comes, if you hug the little county lord. That's four generations in the same house, I don't know how festive it is! ”
The Empress Dowager pondered for a moment and showed a smile: "In that case, Mingjia should blame the old woman of the mourning family for suppressing the limelight of her motherhood." Looking back, she still hasn't messed with the mourning family. ”
"Lord Mingjia is a junior, juniors are messing with you, don't you want to coax you to be happy?" The aunt said: "You are so happy, give some things to the county lord of Mingjia, don't you coax her!" ”
"You slave, don't you think about the mourning family with Ming Jia?" The Empress Dowager thought that she would be able to leave the palace tomorrow. Go and see the first great-granddaughter. The mood is very high, and I am happy to listen to the people around me talk and laugh.
She hasn't been out of the palace for many years.
said that she was the tallest woman in the world, but in fact, her eyes couldn't even go beyond this high palace wall! Fortunately, she has this life. It's not a loss. Now no one can control themselves. It's even more comfortable.
The Empress Dowager sighed with emotion in her heart, and talked with her aunt beside her without a match.
"You rested sooner?" My aunt persuaded in a low voice: "Otherwise, tomorrow's face will not look good." ”
"When people are old, they feel less." Although the Empress Dowager did not feel sleepy. But he also listened to his aunt's advice and prepared to go to bed and lie down. Maybe you'll fall asleep in a daze.
The aunt squatted down and waited for her to take off her shoes.
Before I took off my shoes, I saw a palace maid walk in outside, and whispered: "Niangniang, the queen mother is here, saying that she has something important to see you!" ”
"It's so late, what's important that you can't talk about tomorrow?" The Queen Mother frowned, but said, "Let her in." "She didn't like the queen very much, and thought she was a little stupid. However, it's not too stupid to be outrageous, and I still know how to be cautious in words and deeds on weekdays. Come here now, maybe something will happen.
The queen mother gave in a dark red cloak, which dimmed the light in the inner sanctum.
The Queen Mother was a little displeased and said, "Why is it sneaky? It's like a thief. ”
"Imperial grandmother, granddaughter-in-law has something important to tell your old man." The queen's face was a little pale, and after saluting, without waiting for the permission of the queen mother, she walked quickly to the queen mother's side, covered her hands and whispered.
The Queen Mother frowned, then her face became more and more ugly, and she said coldly: "You saw it with your own eyes?" ”
"The granddaughter-in-law didn't want to startle the snake, so she didn't dare to get too close. But the emperor is indeed not in the Qianqing Palace. It's so late, he's not in the Qianqing Palace, where can he be? The queen's face was panicked, and she said: "The granddaughter-in-law is panicked, and she doesn't know what to do, so she can only come to ask her grandmother for guidance." ”
The Empress Dowager had a dark face, was silent for a moment, and said to the aunt beside her: "You go to find Mama Li, just say that the periphery of Ci'an Palace seems to have been robbed, and let people lead more than a dozen people over to inspect it!" If you encounter an unidentified person, you will be beaten to death with a stick! ”
The queen's body trembled when she heard this, and she hurriedly said, "Grandmother Huang, will you hurt him like this?" ”
The Queen Mother glared at the queen and said, "You can also go with them."
The queen was stunned and hurriedly responded.
The palace maid understood, and it didn't take long for there to be movement outside. The queen resigned from the queen mother and walked outside, and saw that under the dim red light, there were more than a dozen strong grandmothers gathered in the courtyard, two people carried bright lanterns, and the others each knelt with their hands, fierce and vicious, and the queen's body couldn't help but tremble a few times.
She gritted her teeth, walked down the steps, and commanded, "Let's go." ”
She didn't want to show up, but she didn't dare to disobey the queen mother's will, and she also wanted to know what the scene was in Ci'an Palace for a while, so she gritted her teeth and walked among the grandmothers ruthlessly, put on her hood, and hid in the dark, estimating that even if she encountered it for a while, the person on the other side would not easily recognize her, so she was relieved.
The group quickly left Cining Palace, arrived in front of the gate of Ci'an Palace, raised the lantern to illuminate the closed gate of Ci'an Palace, did not go forward to call, bypassed the gate and walked along the path at the base of the wall.
"Niangniang, is it coming?" Mama Li, the leader, asked.
The queen lady looked at the dark grove in front of her, nodded and said, "It should be just ahead." "There's nothing to see there, but she's been here secretly, if she hadn't heard that filthy movement, how could she be ashamed and annoyed, and she had to tell the Queen Mother late at night!
Hearing this, Mama Li nodded, walked for a while, and suddenly opened her mouth and instructed the people around her: "Pay attention to the movement everywhere, be energetic!" All the grandmothers whispered "yes".
Even the whispers of more than a dozen people were immediately heard from afar in this quiet night.
The queen was still wondering if they would alarm people by making such a noise. I had already heard a panicked exclamation not far ahead. Mama Li paused and shouted loudly on the spot: "Who is in front!" I'll wait for the Empress Dowager to inspect the West Palace, and I'll stop! ”
After shouting, he waved the lantern and urged everyone to walk briskly.
There were obviously several dark shadows on that side, carrying a person on his back, running away in a panic! The grandmothers quickly approached, and saw that there was still a person left on the grass in the dark night, and the light from a distance seemed to be a woman. Hit me hard! ”
The two lanterns get out of the way. Behind him, several grandmothers held long sticks. He quickly surrounded the man, and without asking a question, he raised his stick and struck him fiercely!
"Ahh
The woman screamed, and there was no more sound! In the darkness of the night, only the sound of the wind when the sticks were raised and the muffled sound of falling on people!
This is going to kill people!
The Queen Mother stood there. I felt trembling all over. I couldn't help but tighten my body. She looked in the direction of the others fleeing. I saw two or three grandmothers shouting and chasing after them, but they didn't chase too far before giving up. I suddenly had a realization in my heart.
It turned out that what the Queen Mother wanted was for this woman to die! Instead of seriously grasping an existing one, sit on the palace scandal!
A woman's life is gone like this!
There was only one scream at the end of the day!
The queen was distracted, and she didn't know how long these people had been fighting.
When these grandmothers finally stopped, Mama Li stepped forward and took a lantern to take a photo, nodded and said, "Leave a few people to deal with the aftermath." There was no ripple in his voice.
At the time when the lights flickered, the queen mother saw a head and face that were blurred with flesh and blood that could not be seen clearly, and entangled black hair, and screamed in fright!
"The mother is frightened." Mama Li helped the queen mother to walk back.
The queen couldn't forget the picture she had just seen, and walked forward with a shallow foot in a lost soul, and it took a long time to slowly regain her consciousness and ask, "Does Mama recognize who it is?" ”
"It should be the palace maid who doesn't know how to check." Mama Li said: "Looking at her disheveled, she is obviously fooling around with a guard." Such an unclean thing, if you kill it, you will kill it, and it doesn't matter what your identity is. ”
Although the queen really didn't recognize which one it was just now, she knew very well in her heart that it was not a palace maid at all, but a concubine of Ci'an Palace! And Mama Li regarded it as a palace maid and an affair with the guards, which was to cover up the coffin and cover up the scandal!
Yes, if it is spread out, the emperor and his concubine will steal fishy...... That's a big scandal!
The queen pursed her lips and asked, "What to do with the corpse?" ”
"Niangniang has been in the Sixth Palace for so long, don't you know where the palace people who made mistakes and died are buried?" Mama Li asked rhetorically.
The queen mother suddenly felt that she was holding her arm like an ice pick, and the cold person was crazy!
Mass graves, it is very good to have a straw mat to cover your body! Most likely, it was swallowed by a wild dog or something!
So it was.
So it was.
The queen mother walked to the door of Ci'an Palace, stopped, and said: "Since the matter has been dealt with, the palace will not disturb the queen mother and her old man's rest." Mama confessed in front of the mother mother for the palace. ”
"The queen walks slowly." Mama Li pointed out the two mammas, gave them a palace lamp, and said, "Let them send you." ”
The queen nodded, tightened her cloak, and walked quickly to Kunning Palace. The palace maids who came to bring it to Cining Palace forgot to call over and follow! Mama Li still remembers, and asked the palace maid to go back quickly.
She stood in front of the gate of Cining Palace for a while, and a grandmother came over and whispered a few words in her ear. Mama Li nodded, handed over the palace lamp in her hand to others, and then walked into Cining Palace. Before entering the inner sanctum, she first checked at the door to see if she had anything wrong with her before stepping in with confidence.
The Queen Mother was half-lying on the bed, wearing a thin jacket, turning a string of Buddhist beads in her hand, waiting for news. Seeing Mama Li come in, her eyes flashed, and she closed it slightly, and when she opened it again, she was already very calm, and said, "What's the matter, let's talk about it." ”
Mama Li approached the bed, bowed down and whispered to the Empress Dowager: "Back to the master, it is indeed a private meeting between the emperor and the people of Ci'an Palace. The minions frightened the emperor away and killed the people of the palace...... After investigation, it was Mrs. Liao. At the queen's place, the servants had already told her that it was the palace maid who had a private meeting with the guards. ”
She presented a jade pendant, and the dragon ornament on it was enough to indicate the identity of its owner: "Picked up at the scene." ”
The Empress Dowager looked at the jade pendant, a touch of pain flashed in her eyes, and she said weakly: "Put it there, you can go down." ”
Mama Li answered, took a few steps back, and walked out. But as soon as he went out, he turned around, and there was more hesitation on his numb face, and he whispered to the Queen Mother: "The minions checked just now and said it was ......."
"What!" The Empress Dowager said coldly: "There is anything that the mourning family can't listen to!" ”
"It is said that the person from that palace has been pregnant for nearly three months." Mama Li lowered her head and said.
The Empress Dowager was stunned for a moment, waved her hand weakly, lay back on the bed, and closed her eyes.
O iniquity!
Early morning.
The genius is a little gray, and the people of the Chen Mansion have already gotten up, sprinkled and cleaned, and must make the mansion spotless inside and out, and the light can be seen! The red lanterns are hung on both sides of the truth, and the red flowers are placed on the roadside, full of joy and joy, ready for the excitement of the guests.
"The day before yesterday, someone came from the palace, saying that the Queen Mother was coming nine times out of ten today." Mrs. Chen didn't dare to slack off, and said to Shen Rouning: "You can follow me for a while, just follow everyone and salute, if the Queen Mother doesn't ask, don't stand up alone......" After a pause, Mrs. Chen was afraid that Shen Rouning would misunderstand, and explained: "It's not that I'm blocking you, I'm just afraid that her old man will read the old things about the draft, and I'm afraid I won't be very kind to see you." She has a noble status, if she doesn't remember you, forget it, if she remembers it, who knows what will happen in the future. ”
"Mother, I understand." Shen Rouning smiled and said, "Let my mother worry about me." ”
"I don't worry about you, who cares about you." Mrs. Chen inevitably said in her heart: Do you expect your biological mother? She quickly came back to her senses and said, "You accompany me to check up and down again, and there are other mistakes." It's not a trivial matter that the old man is coming. ”
Shen Rouning naturally responded.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law led a few housekeepers and mothers to check up and down in the house, and when they saw that everything was in order, they put their minds at ease and had a little breakfast, and some guests began to come to the door, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law hurriedly greeted the reception separately.
Not long after, the table was already full of people, and the hour was almost up, and the county lord of Mingjia had already come out with the county lord of the crescent moon in his arms, and the group was receiving congratulations from relatives and friends...... But apparently somewhat absent-minded.
Finally, Cining Palace sent an aunt over and gave a heavy gift to the little county lord. (To be continued.) )
