Chapter 42: Instigation
"Squeak", Jiang Liyu's door suddenly opened. It was still raining heavily, and the weather in mid-March, although it had already begun spring, was warm and cold at first, and the rain was mixed with a slight chill, and Jiang Li was shivering with the cold in her thin middle coat. After a long time, a person appeared at the door, this person was wearing a black cloak, his face was hidden in his hat, and his back was light, Jiang Liyu couldn't see who this person was, the only thing that was certain was that this was a woman, a petite woman.
The visitor slowly stepped into the room, closed the door, and took off the hat from her cloak, revealing a delicate and beautiful face.
"It's you." Jiang Liyu saw the other party's face clearly, and was surprised for a moment.
"It's me, what's the matter, I've only been in the cold palace for half a month, and Jiang Cainu doesn't know this palace?"
"You slut, why are you framing me in front of the emperor?" Jiang Liyu finally reacted and asked Li Jieyu in front of her.
"What Bengong said that day was the truth, how could he frame him?" Li Jieyu's face does not change color.
"Whatever I lost my handkerchief, whatever happened to me in a hurry, it's all fake. We obviously met by the lake, you and I should know very well that when I left from the lake, I didn't instruct Fengchun to push the little prince into the water! ”
"Yes, we met by the lake, and you didn't instruct you to be in the spring. However, people are pushed in the spring, and she is your minion, if I tell the truth, the emperor will not believe it, and even I will be implicated, do you think, will I do this? ”
"Could it be you, it's the spring you instigated, we have never had a friendship, why did you just bump into me by the lake that day, and leave with me?"
"If it were me, would I still come to see you today?"
Jiang Liyu was already confused, she was thinking about whether Li Jieyu's words were true or false.
"Actually, you're not wronged, are you?" Li Jieyu continued.
"What do you mean?" Jiang Liyu raised her head and asked, her face was a little unnatural.
"What do you mean, do you really think I can't see it? You stopped by the lake for a long time, when you looked at the imperial concubine and the little prince, that kind of vicious eyes, did you really not use the murderous intention? ”
"I-" Jiang Liyu was already speechless.
"You know very well in your own heart, maybe, if I don't pull you away, the result of this matter will be the same."
"But I didn't do it after all, why, the emperor just didn't believe me, and I was sent to the cold palace."
"The praying mantis catches cicadas, the yellow finch is behind, the struggle in this palace is endless, you have entered the cold palace, but you don't have to pay attention to the ups and downs of the harem." Li Jieyu's tone sounded a little envious.
"Hmph, what you said is easy, it's cold in winter and hot in summer, and I'm a little picker girl who is low to the dust, and I can only be trampled on. Since I lived in the cold palace for half a month, Concubine Hui has asked people to come to me every day to make trouble, you look at the mess all over the ground, they are all good deeds, and I don't know when I will be tortured to death by these people for a long time. Jiang Liyu was resentful and helpless.
"Concubine Hui is just angry for a while, but the imperial concubine is kind-hearted, I heard that my sister is still pleading for you in front of the emperor."
"It's not a good thing, Chu Xiangwan is just to show her kindness in front of the emperor, pretend, if you really ask for it, the emperor loves her so much, why don't you let me out of the cold palace? The emperor said that it was because I murdered the prince, but in fact, he was distressed about the lives of Chu Xiangwan and her children. Even if it was really me who did it, it was just a fall into the water, and no one died, why did the emperor punish me so heavily, thousands of mistakes, it was all this woman's fault! Jiang Liyu said and spoke, and unconsciously, she had already pointed the finger at Chu Xiangwan.
"Sister Imperial Concubine is kind-hearted and never wants to hurt anyone." Li Jieyu continued.
"I only entered the palace a year later than her, but the emperor never looked at other people squarely, and devoted himself to her, from before to now, she has always pretended to be gentle and graceful, coaxing the emperor's favor. Born in a poor family, why compete with us high-ranking women, what I can't see the most is her quiet and indifferent hypocrisy. Jiang Liyu vented the resentment in her heart.
"With the grace of the imperial concubine, give birth to the prince, I'm afraid that the emperor will be crowned." Li Jieyu continued to stimulate.
"Queen?" Jiang Liyu reluctantly recited.
"I'm here because of her, and I'm not going to let her go that well. The cold palace is hopeless, even if she dies, I have to pull her back. Jiang Liyu swore viciously.
"Why be so pessimistic, if you can leave a life, you should cherish it. Compared to losing your life in a few days after going to the Miscellaneous Servants Division like Feng Chun, you are already lucky. ”
"What, Feng Chun died? How did he die? Is it Chu Xiangwan? Or Fang Xiaozhou? Jiang Liyu's face was puzzled, more fearful.
Seeing that the goal had been achieved, the corners of Li Jieyu's mouth raised slightly, and she pretended to persuade: "Don't think too much, don't do stupid things, maybe the emperor will let you out if he changes his mind." It's not early, I should also leave, if there is anything, you can find someone to pass on a message to me, I will definitely help if I can help, just make up for the fact that I didn't tell the truth in front of the emperor. ”
Li Jieyu lit the fire in Jiang Liyu's heart and left. She knew that the purpose of her trip had been achieved, and Jiang Liyu's knife still had one last use, and she hoped that she could help her solve the person she wanted to solve this time.
When Li Jieyu returned to Yutang Palace, the clothes on her body were already soaked. Yahuan Honeysuckle, who has served her since she was a child, said distressedly: "Miss, it's raining and windy outside, why don't you go to the cold palace in a few days?" ”
"Strike while the iron is hot, Jiang Liyu was wronged and demoted, the cold palace days of this half month have made her inhuman, and now is the best time for me to instigate her to deal with Guan Ju Palace." Li Jieyu's eyes were full of calculation.
"Miss, why did you suddenly ······ to the imperial concubine?" Honeysuckle didn't say any more, she didn't understand, Miss used to be very good with the imperial concubine, and even at the beginning of the imperial concubine's pregnancy, she specially found a valuable gift for the imperial concubine Guanyin, but now, the young lady is deliberately trying to put the imperial concubine to death.
"I thought that Chu Xiangwan and the emperor were in love, so even if I loved the emperor again, there was nothing to fight about. I decided early in the morning to help the emperor take care of her, which can be regarded as a whole part of my heart for the emperor. But, honeysuckle, you know what? One night, the emperor slept next to me, and in a dream he actually said, 'Huangfu Jingyao, Xiang Wan is already mine, she has my child, you will never get her again'. It turned out that Chu Xiangwan was King Rui in her heart, no wonder when I mentioned the emperor in front of her, she was always indifferent. ”
"Miss mean, she and King Rui—" Honeysuckle's eyes widened in surprise.
"Yes, since she hurts the emperor, of course I can't tolerate her. Instead of making the emperor miserable, it is better to let her disappear and let the people who really love the emperor treat the emperor well. When Li Jieyu said this, there were tears in her eyes. To be honest, her true feelings for Huangfu Jingwen are indeed incomparable to Chu Xiangwan. It's just that she has crooked thoughts, how can Huangfu Jingwen fall in love?
"Miss, the slave knows that you have a deep affection for the emperor, since the young lady has decided what to do, the slave and the maid will always help the young lady and make the young lady the top of the emperor's heart." Honeysuckle held Li Jieyu's hand and comforted.
