Chapter 521: Out of the Palace
The words and deeds of such a "compliant" Mrs. Jing did not receive any recognition and displeasure from Yingzheng, he just paid attention to this qiē with a blank face, and turned his gaze to the silent me.
"What, Tian Xi, do you approve of Ejing's question?" He forced me to speak.
If he still asks this even though he knows that I can't approve of it, he must want me to argue with Mrs. Jing. Okay, since he wants to watch the play, then I'll accompany him to act.
"Dare to ask Mrs. Jing, do you think that if the slave concubine knows this technique, why should she use it on a young envoy who is not famous, instead of a person who does not want the slave concubine to have a good time?"
As soon as I opened my mouth to ask a question, I heard a lot of gasps in the hall, and I am afraid that the person who blatantly said that he wanted to "harm" the person of the high-ranking princess either did not want to live, or he did not live for long.
Although Mrs. Jing was asked by my words about her previous accusation "doubts", my reckless behavior was another handle that made her happy, so the corners of her mouth were cold, and she was about to ask Ying Zheng to punish me severely, but I was the first to open my mouth when I had been staring at her.
"Mrs. Jing, you just said that when you heard that Mrs. Yu was poisoned, you immediately took the concubines to track down the murderer, so the slave concubine dared to ask Mrs. Jing again, why was the slave concubine, as the eighth son, not among the murderers, but was quickly tracked down by the murderer queue for the final murderer?"
The matter of Linlang's rebellion said that I have suspicions, so is it even more suspicious to trace the technique and the ultimate goal so quickly? I stared at Mrs. Jing and watched her glance wander a few times, and replied to me impatiently.
"You are holding a child, Huating matters."
I wanted to sneer back at her. But I didn't laugh, because I was so angry that I couldn't laugh at her.
"Oh. The slave concubine was holding a child, but she didn't delay and hurt people? I asked her, "Is that the reason?" ”
Such a questioning tone was very uncomfortable to Mrs. Jing, who felt that her beloved dignity had been insulted by me, and was immediately annoyed.
"How not?" She glared at me.
I'm just an eighth son in the end, if I continue to argue with Mrs. Jing, even if I am reasonable, what I say will become rude, and I can't guess what Yingzheng is planning at the moment. Therefore, I chose to give up, and my heart was full of desire to fight for a good appearance.
"If the slave concubine is a mother concubine and is not eligible to run for election, then the slave concubine is a mother concubine and has no energy to harm others, and it makes sense, as for yes and no. The slave concubine didn't dare to argue with Mrs. Jing, and asked Her Majesty to decide. ”
Even if I was killed by Mrs. Jing, it was because of Yingzheng, so I looked at him who was "hiding and idle". I threw the question over. I wanted to get some of his thoughts from his answers.
Ying Zheng narrowed his eyes and looked at me who threw the problem to him, took a deep breath, and rarely asked for the opinions of others.
"What do you think, what's wrong with this?" He still had a gloomy face as cold as a thousand years, and his questions were tepid and waiting for a response.
A respected beloved, a man on the cusp of the storm, quarreled so much in front of Ying Zheng that it was rare to be nervous, at this time. Who can speak? Even Mrs. Li, who was in high spirits, only closed her lips and smiled slowly, without any movement to speak.
They would rather risk getting angry if they don't get a response. I don't want to be a bird and be beaten to death.
I'm still waiting for the verdict that will be aggravated by Yingzheng's anger.
"Your Majesty, the concubine has something to say." A delicate sound quality smashed into the space of the hall like a lightning strike, successfully attracting everyone's attention, and also relieving the atmosphere of the hall that was frozen like death, and said: "Please allow your majesty!" ”
I looked towards the corner of the hall with everyone else, because I was in a hurry and nervous, and then I found that in addition to Mrs. Jing, these old concubines, there was also a strange beauty who was obviously not dressed as a person, and the beauty looked at Yingzheng with smart eyes, and then swept her eyes past the people in the hall who looked at her.
"If you have something to say, you don't have to be restrained." Ying Zheng softened the lines of his face when he spoke to this woman.
The woman called Mian'er has a good face and a delicate figure, although she has tight eyebrows and thin eyes, a curled nose and thin lips, but her skin is as white as transparent, and she has a cute texture.
Eyebrows fluttered, Mian'er's gaze lingered on me for a moment, and then opened his mouth inexplicably.
"When the slave concubine did not enter the palace, I often heard people talk about the interesting things around His Majesty, so the slave concubine has long admired the reputation of Mrs. Jing and the reputation of Mrs. Xi.
She calls herself a "slave concubine"? That must be the identity of a concubine, and she can talk in front of Yingzheng and many concubines, so you want to be favored.
Ying Zheng is very interested in Mian'er's feelings.
"Mian'er has never been in contact with Ejing and Tianxi, this is also fair, tell me, what do you think?" He spoke softly.
Mian'er didn't think much about it, and continued to speak as if she had something to say.
"The concubine heard that Mrs. Xi and Princess Huating were almost killed by the cup insects earlier, and that cup poison destroyed the Qixi Palace, thinking about it, she should be the person who hates witchcraft the most in this palace, so it should be unlikely that she used poison to kill others.
Your Majesty, think about it, the slave concubine was just bitten by a dog when she was a child, and even now she is very afraid of dogs, Mrs. Xi, can she get poison again? I'm afraid that there are other details, please check carefully, don't wronged her, and don't indulge the murderer. ”
Is she saying nice things about me?
I subconsciously looked at Lin Jixiang, thinking that it was the person he arranged, but I didn't expect that he was also slightly cold-eyed, and he couldn't figure out Mian'er's intentions for a while.
It's not Lin Jixiang's person, then my opponent is Mrs. Jing, she has no reason to offend Mrs. Jing to help me, after all, I'm just an eighth son, don't say that I'm too favored at the moment, even if I'm being favored, Mrs. Jing won't be pulled off the "altar" of the sole respect.
Offending Mrs. Jing is offending half of the courtiers, whether it is out of my own concubine or background considerations, it is not a wise move to help me.
This woman doesn't seem to have a problem with her brain, what does she think?
"Cheap maid, you are as timid as a mouse, how can you be compared with Mrs. Xi, who knows the destiny of heaven, and you will break the root of your tongue if you talk nonsense!" Mrs. Zhao was in a hurry, so she gave Mian'er a dismount.
Mian'er was startled, but she was not very afraid, but Yingzheng's timbre changed back to a cold temperature.
"Are you willing to speak now?" He rebuked Mrs. Zhao.
The atmosphere cooled down again, and the atmosphere of the main hall, which had finally been lively, was suddenly depressed.
Mrs. Zhao was reprimanded, who could overshadow her credit for giving birth to her third son to test Yingzheng's bottom line, so the favored concubine didn't dare to speak again, but the favored didn't dare to say, but the unfavored one unexpectedly bubbled out.
"Fortunately, Huating is safe, and the thrill is also a lesson, no one will do it again in the future, and please understand the helpless actions of Mrs. Jing and Mrs. Xi, and let it be light."
The person who spoke was Mrs. Mi, although she walked around the palace because of her repeated military exploits after Gao broke away from Fusu's control, but she has been low-key and does not stand out in front of Yingzheng and everyone, and she is willing to speak at this time, but she has won a lot of praise, at least she has alleviated a flood that may be stirred up at any time.
Naturally, some people think that she has a level of speech, but some people don't want to wade through this muddy water.
"What Mrs. Mi said is reasonable, and it is rare to intercede, Your Majesty will definitely give Mrs. Mi this face." Mrs. Li disliked the faint approval, and then turned her tone and said: "It's just that this matter is related to the palace rules and the imperial heir, after all, it is not trivial. ”
It can be heard that Mrs. Li, a talented woman, is advancing by retreating, which indirectly indicates her position of demanding severe punishment.
Ying Zheng finally listened to it, he straightened his waist and sighed a lot.
"My wives are all talented people." He sighed, and everyone who sighed lowered their heads and said, "The slaves and concubines are terrified. ”
Ying Zheng walked down, paced between the crowd with his feet, and said as he walked: "I have walked down this way, I have heard a lot about the inner palace of Xianyang City, and the people have said that you noble ladies are more expressive than one another, but I am a little unsure whether the inner palace is the inner palace where I live."
The people say that all of my wives are fairy-like women, and each of them is a woman with unique skills, meticulous thoughts, and magical techniques, and she is only one of them.
Today, I have seen the ladies of the people, and they are really as they say, all of them are thoughtful. ”
With a light sigh, the people kneeling in the sighing hall trembled.
"The slaves and concubines know their mistakes, please punish them!"
If Ying Zheng loses interest in the inner palace and is obedient, then the thousands of women in this big palace will have no hope for a lifetime, and the bleak life that life is worse than death is endless, how can it be good?
Ying Zheng was still pacing, he was frustratedly annoyed, and he was cold and miserable.
"What is wrong with you, for your own selfish desires, do everything, it is really a miraculous technique, I really have another insight into you." He sneered.
Isn't that even more and more of a cold sweat breaking out in this way?
"You mentioned just now that there is a maidservant in the palace who caused this disaster, right? Listen, just a servant, can make my lover and eight sons fight like crazy, how not to make me feel cold. ”
He stopped at Mrs. Jing's side and said coldly, "I am known for her charity, Mrs. Jing. ”
He took a step to my side and said, "I am the world-famous Lady of Brook." (To be continued......)
