Chapter 198: Unexpected
"Queen Mother, do you think it's better?" Her tone was also full of concern.
Yue Biluo's heart is angry, Dou slut, you are obviously a cat crying mouse fake compassion, but no matter how angry you are, you still have to be false and wronged.
She pretended to raise her dull eyes with great difficulty, not wanting to face a pair of eyes with a mocking smile, and a flash of inspiration appeared in her mind, Dou Lianyi should find out that she was pretending to be sick.
Yue Biluo pretended to be weak and closed her eyes, hiding her surprise by the way.
"Hongu ...... Well...... Ah......" The beautiful face in front of him, as well as the mocking smile in his eyes, it would be a crime to take one more look, Yue Biluo closed her eyes, and deliberately couldn't say a complete sentence, so as to force the other party to hurry up.
Of course, Dou Lianyi knew her thoughts, but the biggest purpose here was to rectify the cup, how could she leave as the queen mother wished.
The smile in his eyes gradually expanded, but his tone sounded anxious: "Alas, this Buddha's manifestation is not a little more thorough, the southeast is so large, but it is bitter to Concubine Wanniang, these days I have been searching with people every day, but I have found nothing, what can I do." ”
"Bitter ...... Finish...... Not...... Guys...... Ah......h
Yue Biluo squeezed out of her throat word by word, only to feel that the knife hanging in her heart kept cutting her heart, and it hurt so much that people died and lived, Dou slut, this palace hates to drink your blood, pump your tendons, and peel your skin.
"Don't say that, the concubine feels that the mother is persecuted by the villain, so it is miserable, the concubine prays in front of the Buddha every day, hoping to find something that harms the mother as soon as possible, so that the mother can be rescued from the disease as soon as possible."
Dou Lianyi only discovered today that it was extremely uncomfortable to endure not laughing.
"Queen, what's wrong with you, come on."
The person on the sickbed suddenly rolled her eyes and fainted, so "frightened" that she grabbed Linglong and pointed at the "patient" and screamed.
"The queen has fainted, hurry up and announce the imperial doctor." Linglong knew it, pretended to sigh, and persuaded again: "Concubine Li, the smell of medicine in the house is heavy, don't smoke you and the prince, it's better to go back." ”
Hmph, play dead.
Dou Lianyi saw that it was good and took it, nodded immediately, and told him again, and then he held his waist and held his belly to "return to the dynasty victoriously".
……
At this time, Du Wanying was leading people to search for "villain".
The weather is getting hotter day by day, although sitting on the sedan chair and wearing a purple canopy decorated with tassels, but after a long time, and there is no clue about searching for days, it is inevitable that I will be upset.
"Master, why don't you go back to the palace and wait for news." Yulian gently shook the silk fan on the side, worried, and said again.
Unexpectedly, Du Wanying has her own plans, people who couldn't endure the slightest hardship in the past, but this time she refused to rest by herself, "No, when this palace thinks that the queen mother is suffering from illness, she can't eat and sleep well, and she must do her best to find something harmful." ”
"Master, if the queen mother knew your heart, she would definitely be moved." Yulian deliberately said loudly so that everyone around her could hear her.
That's right, Du Wanying is for everyone to see, and when the queen mother is well, she will pass it on to the queen mother, and then she may repay her peach and help her take the position.
The position of the imperial concubine, she is determined to win.
"Tell them to cheer up the palace, and don't let go of any small corner, and the palace can't find it if you don't believe it." Du Wanying pointed to a group of palace people who were searching under the big sun with one hand, and slapped the sedan pole with the other.
A soft sedan chair from far to near, Du Wanying looked at the same violet canopy as herself, although it was not as dazzling as bright yellow and purple, it was also a symbol of status in the harem.
I hope that in the near future, when I travel, I will have a purple canopy fluttering above my head, and at that time, her status will be above the queen's concubines.
"Concubine Wan has worked hard."
The soft sedan chair came all the way, and when it passed by, the glamorous palace lady on the sedan chair had a faint smile on her lips, and said hello.
"Doing things for the queen is within the part of the concubines, so why work hard." Du Wanying replied coldly.
Dou Lianyi nodded thoughtfully: "That's, that's, alas, the queen's condition is really worrying." She couldn't seem to smile anymore at the sight of this, and sighed with a sad look on her face.
"Concubine Li, don't pretend to be embarrassed, who doesn't know that the person in the harem who doesn't want the queen to get better is you, don't worry, even if the palace doesn't satisfy you, it will find out what hurts people."
Okay, it's direct enough, Bengong really likes this kind of character, and the smile that is as faint as a spring flower floated on Dou Ripple's face again, since everyone in the harem said that she had bad intentions towards the queen, so why did she pretend to be worried.
"Concubine Wan, this palace wishes you to find it as soon as possible, otherwise, it will be sunning under such a big sun and the wind is so strong every day, I am afraid that it will be dark and thin by then, and it will not be good to dislike the emperor."
As soon as these words came out, Du Wanying subconsciously touched her face, and her expression was more ugly than crying.
Dou Lianyi was secretly amused, so he simply leaned back comfortably on the back of the chair, patted the sedan pole lazily, and the sedan chair continued to move forward steadily.
"Start the sedan chair and go back to the palace."
Behind him, Du Wanying's angry voice came.
That night, Dou Lianyi and Xuan Lianli were urgently woken up in their sleep, Li Liancheng replied that the queen mother had asked the emperor to move to the middle palace, and knew that something must have happened, so the two hurriedly got up, freshened up and rushed to Kunning Palace.
When he got there, he found that all the harem concubines had arrived, and the entire main hall of the middle palace could be described as a group of flowers, gathered together, and saw the two of them appear, except for the queen mother, they all got up to greet the holy driver, and by the way, they threw a jealous look at the woman who accompanied him.
Dou Lianyi saw a girl in palace clothes kneeling on the ground at a glance, withdrew her gaze, stepped forward quietly to greet the Queen Mother, and sat silently aside.
"Queen Mother, why did you gather everyone at midnight?" Xuan Lili slowly walked to the top position, and glanced at the palace maid when he passed, as if she was a maid beside the queen, but she couldn't be named.
The Queen Mother pointed to the seat next to her and motioned for him to sit, and then raised her voice to call Laixi: "Present that play to the emperor." ”
Laixi took a few steps forward with the mahogany tray, lifted the brocade cover with one hand, and picked it out with his lonely eyes, and his memory suddenly returned to twenty years ago, a night that was extremely painful for him and his mother.
"Huh?"
He sat down and whispered, followed by a whisper.
"Where did you find it?" Xuan Xiaoli picked it up and looked at it carefully, the little cloth man, the front body was written with the queen's birthday, and all the vital parts were pierced with silver needles.
The cloth is a very ordinary silk cloth, which can be found in any palace.
Du Wanying got up quite proudly and replied: "The concubine was worried about the queen's illness, so she also sent people to search for it at night, and it turned out that Mei Xiang was burying this thing. ”
"It's hard to guard against thieves day and night, but I didn't expect that the person who harmed the queen was actually the person next to her." The Queen Mother pointed to the ground hatefully.
The girl named Mei Xiang was lying on the ground, and she couldn't see her expression clearly, but she was trembling like that, and she was so frightened that she couldn't figure it out.
"Do you hate your master so much, and you actually use such a vicious method to curse your master?" Xuan Lonely was playing with the little cloth man, his voice was not high or urgent, but he had an indescribable sense of oppression.
Mei Xiang shook her head fiercely.
"Are you dumb, I'm asking you, answer me." The man's voice was a little higher, faintly impatient, not to mention the plum fragrance on the ground, even the concubines didn't dare to come out.
Mei Xiang's upper teeth knocked on her lower teeth, trembling so much that her speech was a little slurred: "Return to the emperor...... On, slave ...... The slave does not hate the queen. ”
"If you don't hate, why hurt her?" His eyes were as dark as night, and he snorted coldly.
Mei Xiang didn't dare to raise her head from beginning to end, and squeaked in her mouth: "This ...... Slaves...... Slave ......"
"Your Majesty, the concubine feels that Mei Xiang seems to be suffering, will there be someone behind it." After looking at it coldly for a while, Dou Lianyi reminded him in a timely manner.
Everyone in the seat was condensed in their hearts, and the more afraid they were to speak out, they were afraid that they would accidentally be polluted.
"Say, 'Has anyone instructed him, and if so, by whom?" The harem has always been not peaceful, but it is not out of line, it is because Xuan Lonely usually turns a blind eye, and this matter really shocked him today.
Mei Xiang shook her head desperately: "No, no one instructed the slaves." ”
"That's what you mean, come on, pull down and beat you to death." Xuan Lili shouted angrily.
Mei Xiang was shocked at first, and Ji'er was in the arrest of several palace people, struggling and shouting injustice: "The slave is wronged, the slave is wronged, the slave is wronged, the slave and the maid don't want to die, the emperor spares his ......life."
Dou Lianyi watched this scene idly.
"Your Majesty, will there really be another hidden secret, according to the concubines, it is better to be taken to the palace criminal department for interrogation first." Someone jumped out unwillingly, Du Wanying really didn't believe that a girl came up with such an idea, she glanced at the woman opposite intentionally or unintentionally as she spoke.
Xuan Lianli glanced at her with a smile and asked, "Concubine Wanai, if someone really instructs you, who do you think is the most likely to be?" ”
"The concubine thinks that looking at the entire harem, whoever wants to seize the throne the most is who." Her eyes were staring straight at Dou Ripple, so much so that everyone's eyes were on one person.
Dou Lianyi smiled faintly: "In this way, Mei Xiang can't be killed, otherwise someone must accuse the concubine of wanting to kill people and kill her mouth." Speaking of this, she stood up, "Your Majesty, the concubine agrees with Concubine Wan's Jianyi, escorts Mei Xiang to the Palace Criminal Division, and will be punished when the case is clear." ”
"Since it is rare for the two concubines to have the same opinion, then it is decided, come and take Mei Xiang down for interrogation overnight."
The emperor's Chrysostom has been opened, Mei Xiang has been taken down, and everyone has returned to the palace with a heavy heart.
On this night, many people had trouble sleeping.
