Chapter 278: The Sadness of Man Walking
Qin Mengdie picked up the teacup on the desk and drank a cup of tea, only then did she feel her heart calm down: "What does the concubine know?" ”
Concubine Xian's face is still not good-looking: "I went to see it today, and I was just in time to put the coffin, the color of the lips was clearly poisoned, and it was definitely not a disease, this was in the Yazhi Palace, and the concubine was in such a hurry to put a coffin on her to cover up." ”
Concubine Xian has been on the battlefield and has a lot of experience, and the first person to visit when she heard the news in the morning was to see the corpse, so she hurried to take a look, and when the other concubines went, they were all sealed in coffins, and no one saw them.
Anyway, the timid concubines didn't dare to look at it, and some of them who had some festivals with her didn't dare to take a last look, for fear of asking for their lives in the middle of the night, so except for the brave concubine, no one else was in a hurry to take a last look.
Qin Mengdie asked Concubine Xian in a low voice: "Mother, can this matter have anything to do with Concubine Ya?" ”
Concubine Xian nodded: "It must be, otherwise she would be buried in such a hurry, it will not be easy for him to survive all these years, and it will be even more difficult for Princess Qing in the future." ”
In fact, for Princess Qing, Qin Mengdie really has no hatred, although she treats herself like that, but she is also controlled by others, but she doesn't like it either, everyone can have a way to change their fate, that is her choice.
Qin Mengdie still couldn't help but ask Concubine Xian: "What does the mother concubine think is the most likely motive for the murder?" ”
"Silence." Concubine Xian replied without thinking about it. The trend in a house is the most aware of each other, then this reason is the most likely.
"I think so too, but after so many years, what can make them suddenly start?" Qin Mengdie did have doubts in her heart.
"The emperor is out of the palace." Concubine Xian and Qin Mengdie said in unison after thinking about it.
Then both of them fell silent again, this is not a big deal, didn't they all know later. The emperor didn't hide it too deliberately, and it wasn't a private visit, so what is there to do?
The two were silent for a while, and Concubine Xian spoke first: "Don't think about it so much, let's investigate it slowly in the future, after all, this matter has little to do with us." ”
The mother and daughter chatted a few more words, and then went out of the inner room to see Xiaoxiao.
Shuyi Palace
Concubine Shu sat in a chair. The complexion is not good. The surrounding palace maids tried their best to shrink their sense of existence, Mo Wencang walked in tiredly, and the palace maids gave salutes one after another.
Concubine Shu waved her hand to let the palace ladies stand down. Several little palace maids looked uneasy, but they were secretly happy in their hearts, Shi Li took a step back and quickly walked out of the house, and finally closed the door when she went out.
Mo Wencang walked to the chair next to Concubine Shu and sat down. Picking up the water cup, he poured himself a cup of tea and drank it, and then spoke: "Mother already knew that the operation failed, but I didn't expect it." The queen also has an operation, is their purpose also to assassinate? ”
This question really made Concubine Shu confused, it is said that the queen's side does not have an advantage over them, if the emperor has an accident. The most likely successor to the throne is the eldest prince Mo Wencang, because he is the eldest son and has the Prime Minister's Mansion as a backer.
But now the second prince Mo Wenhao has been deposed. The queen mother can't help again, they should be worried about something happening to the emperor. How can there be action?
"Is it to protect the emperor?" Concubine Shu said her thoughts suspiciously.
Mo Wencang nodded: "It can only be explained like this." ”
Concubine Shu snorted: "I didn't expect this woman to still have some means, but fortunately, we didn't do it today, otherwise it would be cheaper for them." ”
"But after all, I missed such a good opportunity, and it is difficult to find such an opportunity again." Mo Wencang sighed with pity on his face.
"Stay in the green mountains, are you afraid that there will be no firewood? It is impossible for Ya Concubine to be unconscious without action, and she is safe and sound today. Concubine Shu thought it thoroughly, looked at Mo Wencang's unwillingness, and analyzed the pros and cons for him.
Mo Wencang is also a thoughtful person, how can he not know the stakes involved, but he is young and vigorous, and he is a little unwilling.
The mother and son also talked about it with a little speculation and a little doubt.
Weiyang Palace
The queen sat on a chair and looked at her nails, trimming with small scissors, but she was thinking about the front and back of the matter.
Mo Wenhao sat beside the queen, and said without those decadent expressions in front of people: "Queen Mother, they didn't do it today, otherwise we would have saved the car today, and my father would definitely use it for me." ”
When he said this, Mo Wenhao looked unwilling, feeling that he had lost a great opportunity today, but the queen didn't see it that way.
"Hao'er, we are still impulsive, thanks to them not doing it, otherwise we have a meritorious rescue and also exposed our strength, and this kind of approach is something that your father doesn't like, your imperial grandmother sent me a message today, so I have to stop you, fortunately, they didn't do it." The queen said with a relieved sigh.
Mo Wenhao asked a little puzzled: "Why?" I saved my father, and I'd rather expose everything I have to save him, isn't this sincere enough? ”
The queen put down her hands and looked at Mo Wenhao and said, "Do you think your father can believe that you only have these strengths?" The more you are exposed, the more your father will think you have, and the decadence you have been showing lately is clearly not deceiving him? In the future, we will still have to discuss it with your imperial grandmother before doing it. ”
Mo Wenhao only knew what he was wrong with, but he was still a little unconvinced, but no matter what, it passed like this today.
At least now everyone is back to square one, nothing has changed.
Elegant in the palace
A red coffin was placed in the middle of the courtyard, surrounded by paper cow paper horses tied with colored paper, and some wreaths.
White filial piety cloth and white cloth flowers were hung around the mourning shed, and the couplets were written on both sides of the mourning shed.
Princess Qing knelt on the ground, in front of her was a copper basin that burned paper, and she was burning paper money one by one, but she didn't cry, but looked at the coffin with empty eyes.
There are only two little palace maids beside Princess Qing, and they are also kneeling on both sides of her in filial piety clothes, and there is no one else in this courtyard, and the courtyard is not deserted.
A woman who conceived a life for the emperor, her life ended like this, she may only see the emperor a few times in her life, and spend the night with her husband tightly*, this is what she looks forward to in this life, but when she goes, few people come to cry and mourn.
Maybe this is even more sad in her life, but fortunately, she also has a daughter who keeps filial piety, and she is not alone.
And in the inner room of the main courtyard, Concubine Ya and Mo Wenguang and Mo Wenduo brothers chatted quietly.
Ya Concubine is quite satisfied with today's form: "We have got the news we should have gotten today, but I don't see the two tigers fighting, it's a pity, but I also let me know what we will do next." (To be continued)
