Chapter 281: Weeping Blood Cuckoo
"You came to the palace for no reason like this, and you don't have the mentality of waiting for Liman's life to be saved or not, but the palace will hold you accountable in turn.
If you had done your duty to her as a concubine, would you have accused an outsider of the mistakes of an outsider without any basis after something went wrong with her body, which she should have taken care of, without making a review of her own personal care? ”
My words are sharp and profound.
Yes, I suspect that Zhong Li's tears not only contain her worries and pity for Liman, but also include her—if I don't feel wrong, I should still have remorse and reluctance!
That's right, that is to say, she insisted that Li Man stay in Qixi Palace, in fact, from the beginning, she had another purpose!
"Mrs. Zhongli, the king has not yet made a decision, and it is not appropriate for you to accuse her."
Mrs. Mi interjected softly, as if persuading her to stop her from continuing her nonsense.
In the end, Mrs. Dejing and Mrs. Mi gave an order-like persuasion, and I questioned her harsh words, and immediately increased her grief-stricken weeping, and turned the accusation against me into a feeling of concentration and sorrow.
When Ying Zheng came out of the dormitory, he was followed by Li Hong and the Pear Blossom Palace Lady who was holding Li Man, and as soon as he appeared, Mrs. Jing and others came up to inquire about the situation, Ying Zheng raised his hand to them to stop the inquiry, and there was no extra words, and directly opened his mouth and instructed Mrs. Jing: "Li Man's situation is already better, the widow will take her to the Pear Blossom Palace, and you can arrange for everyone to disperse." ”
After he finished speaking, without waiting for Mrs. Jing to answer, he turned his eyes to look at me, and then said: "Tian Xi instructed the people in the Qixi Palace, no one is allowed to go out of the palace gate for half a step, and they must stay in place. ”
I bowed slightly, and heard him say again: "Meng Yi, take good care of the place where Li Man sleeps, and no one is allowed to approach!" ”
After he finished speaking, he walked up to Zhong Li's side with his head held high, took her hand and walked out.
After Yingzheng left, Mrs. Jing opened her mouth to dismiss everyone according to Yingzheng's instructions. Because there are Meng Yi's people stationed in Qixi Palace. Therefore, these princesses don't want to stay here for a long time, and in order to avoid disaster, the speed at which they disperse is not ordinarily fast. say
Mrs. Mi looked at me with concern before leaving, and I gently shook my head at her to indicate that I was okay, and she chuckled. They also dispersed with the people.
"Mrs. Xi is really different everywhere, and it is really eye-opening to put on a birthday banquet and stir up such a big storm."
Zhao Wu walked in the order of the back of the crowd, laughed and mocked, twisted his waist and swung his hips and left.
The deserted Qixi Palace was bustling and noisy because of Yingzheng's determination to celebrate my birthday, but it was restored to a deserted state due to Liman's coma, but the deserted atmosphere behind this restoration was a little cramped and unsettling—because Meng Yi was constantly directing his men to besiege all corners of Qixi Palace and people.
Ying Zheng asked Meng Yi to stay and take care of the place where Yin Man slept, it must have been Li Hong who felt that Yin Man's condition was related to the leyline environment there, and I walked involuntarily to the small garden after the people dispersed, but was stopped by Meng Yi who saw me walking.
"Lady Creek, please stay. The king commanded that no one should come near, and that the last general should be in his duty, and that his wife should be considerate. "He expected me to be as successful and resolute as I was going to get closer.
I stopped, didn't argue with Meng Yi, just looked at the place where Yin Man had slept just now. Disturbed by the unknown blankness.
There are big trees around to shade it, so in this hot weather, even at night, the temperature is much lower because of the shade during the day, so Yin Man will sleep in that place.
On one side of the ambulatory sleeping ground is a wall of rhododendrons, soft grass below, swings and shade pergolas, and a few tall shrubs on the periphery. Supposedly, there should be no problem, and I've been there from time to time, and I've never found any anomalous elements.
So why did you confine that leyline?
"Hongu knows."
I let out a faint breath, and the sound I made sounded so tired to myself.
Ewha Palace summoned a lot of imperial doctors overnight, and I think Yingzheng must be accompanying Zhong Li and waiting for the results of Liman's treatment.
There were a large number of guards and internal prisoners surging in Qixi Palace. I didn't feel sleepy at all because of the tense atmosphere, and Meng Yi was obviously paying attention to my every move.
In order not to provoke him to be distracted and "take care" of me, I also stayed up all night in the pavilion in the courtyard and waited: waiting for the results of Liman's treatment, and also waiting for Yingzheng to treat the corner where Liman had an accident in Qixi Palace.
It was a sleepless night, a night of ignorance and fear. It also made people condense a little bit of their hard work in panic.
I don't know why my solitude ended up being difficult everywhere, why disasters always surrounded me and kept me from moving, but I realized one fact in my troubles: whether I did it myself or was framed, as long as I didn't save myself, I would definitely die!
"Ma'am?"
Luo Cong quietly approached me with a supper, and whispered tentatively.
I tilted my head slightly, signaled to her that I was still awake, and continued to stare at the lonely night.
Instead of letting me continue to be in a quiet daze knowing that I wasn't sleepy, she placed the silver plate with supper on the table beside me, and then took Fluttershy's rice crackers and squatted down in front of my legs, bowed her hands to me, raised her head and whispered, "Yu Huai sent a message to Madame, 'The royal official was summoned by Madame Zhongli the day before yesterday and hid in the imperial pharmacy to study azaleas." ”
Luo Onion's words are like a large batch of bitter coffee entering the brain when I am sleepy, which makes people wake up, and also makes me nervous and refreshed.
"Why did he say this to us all of a sudden?"
I watched as she got up after I got the supper and asked in the same low voice as she did.
Luo Cong put down the plate and brought me tea again, and through the gesture of serving water, she disguised her demeanor in the courtyard of the three steps and one guard.
"The person who said that it was Yu Huai who heard that there was a cuckoo in the place where Yin Man was unconscious, and suddenly felt that this matter was strange, and he was obsessed with Wang Lian's recent abnormal state of distraction, so he looked for our people to tell you, hoping to help you."
I reminisced about Luo Onion's words and Yu Huai's doubts, and kneaded these analyses into Li Man's convulsions and Zhong Li's excessive thirst, and suddenly felt sober, and suddenly my heart was cold, and I only increased my sadness!
If I'm not mistaken, it must be that Zhong Li and Wang Wei found out that Li Man had an adverse reaction to rhododendrons, so they deliberately wanted to frame me with this!
But is the price of using his own daughter to frame a long-term envoy who is not very powerful?
I was apprehensive and hesitant.
"What else did he say?"
I feel that it is really unreasonable for Zhong Li's wife to do such a thing as Liman's mother, but I also feel that my analysis is correct, and there must be reasons interspersed with contradictions that I don't know.
Luo Cong groaned for a moment, and then tried to say to me uncertainly: "I heard the people below mention that he had vaguely heard the royal bureaucracy report to the steward of the imperial pharmacy in private, saying that Princess Liman's physique is too weak and her lifeline is weak, and I am afraid that she will not be able to withstand the baptism of age and major diseases.
However, the rumors are not credible, Mrs. Zhongli is quite favored, and Princess Liman is a noble person, so no one has publicly reported this matter. ”
If Yu Huai heard it correctly, then it would be easy to understand now, it must be that Liman has been ill-fated recently to the point where he can't save his life, so finally Li Wu thought of getting rid of me with a flower transfer technique.
The widow of the final Li woman can still have such a mind soon, I'm afraid that she is either crazy or manipulated, right?
Then again, if all the news can be obtained by me, the chief envoy, then shouldn't there be many people in this palace who have received this news? It's okay if the other palaces don't want to cause trouble and avoid bystanders, but Yingzheng is the supreme king, there is no reason why he shouldn't know?
No matter what I think, the truth about the life and death of the princess Yingzheng doesn't know, and it's really an unjustifiable reason.
At dawn, news came out from Ewha Palace, saying that Liman's life had been temporarily saved, but after this catastrophe, his breathing was weak, and he was afraid that he would not be able to last a few days.
I pondered the merits of this matter in a heavy heart, washed up and rushed to Ewha Palace.
When I arrived, Mrs. Jing and the others were already there to comfort Zhong Li, so I stood quietly in the crowd, not disturbing anyone's cold eyes to look at Zhong Li's miserable appearance, but no matter how I looked at it, I felt that there was a real pretense in her body.
Ying Zheng came back from the previous court's discussion of morning politics early, entered the Rika Palace dormitory and asked the imperial doctor Liman about the real-time situation of the imperial doctor, and then came out and called me and Zhong Li to go to the main hall.
I know that this interrogation is indispensable, after all, Liman is in Qixi Palace, no matter what the host says, I have an irrevocable responsibility, and I can't hide it, so I was very humble when I entered the main hall of Pear Flower Palace, thinking that I couldn't get out of this matter, if Yingzheng wanted to punish me, I should also accept it as calmly as possible.
I have no idea how to survive in the palace to what I know now, which is not the experience I learned from falling, so if I can survive this time, I will keep the lesson in mind and not make similar mistakes again.
Now all I can do is convince myself!
"Why did Li Man rest in the corner of the garden of Qixi Palace, and when the widow arrived, there were a lot of people around her, but there was no useful person who could save her, which of you two can give the widow an answer?"
Ying Zheng's face was ugly, and his voice was cold and trembling.
Although the resting place of Liman mentioned by Yingzheng is the location chosen by Liman's attendants, it is the territory of my Qixi Palace, and most of the people around Liman that Yingzheng saw are my people, so after he asked, I first explained the location where Liman lived, and then went on to tell him the reason why my people gathered around Liman.
