Chapter 49: Shaokang Dies(2)
In the Qiwu Palace, which was also unusually quiet, Biwen silently walked into the dormitory with a green glaze plain tea cup.
After removing the makeup, Xiao Chen was wearing a green silk hair, and only a thin bedgown was sitting in front of the dresser, his eyes were in a trance, and he didn't know where he was going.
Bi Wen coldly swept over the several palace maids who were waiting on the side, and those palace maids withdrew from the door with great vigour. "Mother." Biwen put the tea cup on the dresser and looked at Xiao Chen worriedly: "This is peace of mind tea, you can have a good rest for the night after drinking it." ”
Hearing the familiar voice, Xiao Chen came back to her senses for a long time, she nervously grabbed Biwen's hands, and asked urgently, "Have you seen Kang'er?" Is he okay? ”
"His Majesty did not punish King Yu, but only issued a ban order, and no one in the palace can mention this matter again." Biwen glanced at Xiao Chen's expression as she spoke, and then continued: "The slave maid thinks that His Majesty is still spoiling King Yu. Niangniang, you should also be relieved and don't burn your body. ”
"You...... How do you know! How do you know why? Xiao Chen looked at Biwen who comforted her, but she couldn't be as optimistic as Biwen. This incident is really the same as the previous one, which is too imaginary, and it is like repeating it again, but the people of the year have changed, but the course of events is exactly the same. Don't...... Xiao Chen's face suddenly became solemn, could it be deliberately created by someone with a heart? Who could it be? What is the purpose of this? There aren't many people left who knew what happened back then! Except for Xiao Feng and her, even Concubine Qing never knew about that incident, after all, the cause of death disclosed by the Da Chen family was sudden illness. If it was really Concubine Qing, this move would ostensibly hit the crown prince and King Yu, but after all, this was Xiao Feng's rebellion, and she would lose her sacred heart if she did so, at most the pros and cons would be equal. A person who is so calculating with Concubine Qing will definitely not do such a thankless task!
"Mother." Seeing that she fell into contemplation again, Biwen comforted softly: "The crown prince is resolute in protecting the crown princess, even if His Majesty has any anger, he has to look at the face of the prince, the bitter master, not to mention that King Yu has always been very favored by His Majesty, and things may not have reached a dead end, and there is no room for turnaround." ”
Xiao Chen looked at the still bright moonlight outside the window and let out a long sigh. Biwen was sent to her by the Chen family as a helper two years after she entered the palace, and Biwen had too superficial understanding of that past. She still clearly remembers that the palace guard who had committed adultery with Xiao Chen's family was killed by Xiao Feng's order, and was cut into pieces of meat as thin as cicada wings alive, and thrown in Chaofeng Gang to be eaten by wild dogs. The Da Chen family, who has always been held by Xiao Feng on the tip of his heart, was also given to death by him with a glass of poisoned wine, and he still doesn't know where he is buried. Now facing the same thing, Du Yunjin will see how Xiao Yu protects her, and what will happen to Kang'er.
She has been in charge for half her life, and she has survived year after year in this lonely deep palace, just for Xiao Shaokang. If something happens to Xiao Shaokang, what hope does she have in the future, and what can she rely on?
"By the way, how did you check the matter?" Xiao Chen wiped away the worried look on his face, and returned to his usual calm and self-control. She understands that the more times like this, the more she can't mess with herself, otherwise she really won't have a chance to protect herself and Kang'er. She also didn't believe that Kang'er, who had never been close to women, would destroy her future for a Du Yunjin! There must be some shady deed!
Biwen carefully observed the surroundings, and after making sure that no one was eavesdropping nearby, he lowered his voice and said: "Niangniang's suspicion is indeed not wrong, there is nothing wrong with the rest of the room, but there is a problem with the burning spices." The slave had already poured some of the remaining ashes back. With that, she pulled out a silk bag from her sleeve, which was the residue of spices that she had secretly dumped when she returned to the room where the accident had occurred at night.
Xiao Chen hooked his fingernails a little between his nose and asked carefully. She has been very fond of spices since she was a child, and she often makes her own spices before she leaves the cabinet, and she knows almost all ordinary spices. The smell was not an ordinary spice, nor was it used in the palace, but it was rich and mixed with a hint of other flavors. Biwen was right, there was indeed a problem with the spices.
"Leave these to Wei Zhongchen to check carefully." Xiao Chen raised his head, his gaze becoming determined. I didn't expect that there was indeed a cat hidden in this, who was harming her Kang'er, she would definitely not let go of this person!
The night wind was unscrupulous outside the silent palace, like someone's arrogant smiling face, and like someone's sarcastic ridicule, disturbing the people who could not sleep peacefully.
The water in the bucket was already cold, but Du Yunjin was still sitting on the ground, staring blankly at the back of Xiao Yu leaving. Memories poured into her mind like a tide of coolness, and those bits and pieces kept flashing in front of her.
She seemed to see that the person who was naked/naked and shameless under the man was her, and that man was like Xiao Yu and Xiao Shaokang. What the hell is going on? She rubbed her head in pain, and she seemed to see Xiao Yu, who had a frosty face, standing coldly not far from her, while the resolute back kneeling in front of her kept pleading with others.
"Mother." Ling Dan hurriedly pushed the door and entered the house, just in time to see Du Yunjin in confusion and pain. "Mother, why are you still in the water! Slaves and maids are waiting for you to get up! As soon as Xiao Yu returned to the East Palace, he asked people to prepare hot water and send it to the East Wing, and it had been more than an hour since this time, and the water had already cooled down completely.
As if grasping the last straw, Du Yunjin suddenly grabbed Ling Dan, who was helping her wipe her body, and asked, "What the hell is going on?" You sue me, that person is not Xiao Shaokang, that person is Xiao Yu, right? The person who has been with me is not Xiao Shaokang, it is Xiao Yu, it is Ah Yu! ”
"Mother." Ling Dan avoided her frantic gaze and hung her head silently. In fact, the first thing she did after being driven away by Xiao Yu was to inquire about King Yu's whereabouts and inquire about tonight's affairs. It's just that she didn't expect that not only did she not see King Yu, but she also vaguely heard an extremely ridiculous thing.
She didn't reply, Du Yunjin looked at her reaction like that, and her heart suddenly understood.
"Hahahaha......" She didn't expect things to turn out like this, she didn't expect her to be involved with someone other than Xiao Yu, she didn't expect that she would be such a person. How can she be worthy of Xiao Yu, how can she be worthy of her father who is far away in Crescent City, and how can she be worthy of her unforgettable love......
couldn't hold back any longer, bright red blood sprayed out of Du Yunjin's mouth, and his body fell backwards softly.
"Niangniang, Niangniang, you want to open some." She laughed maniacally, but with despair, which was especially piercing in the empty night. Ling Dan hugged her sliding body, and didn't know what to do when she saw her vomiting blood.
"Ling Dan......" Du Yunjin suddenly grabbed her sleeve and said, "You go to him, don't come back." I never want to see him again, I never want to see anything related to him again, and I don't want to see people anymore. ”
