Chapter 128: Chaos
"Really out of gas?" Sun Miaoxi was surprised.
"Really, the maid beside Concubine Qin said...... It was said that you forced Concubine Qin to death," Chu Liu looked worried, remembering that the prince had instructed her to serve the princess well, and couldn't help but feel very guilty: "Princess, don't argue with the princess after you go, try to delay until the princess comes back, as long as the prince comes back, no matter what happens, he can protect you." ”
Although Sun Miaoxi is not optimistic about Zhan Hao, the culprit, she is still very grateful to Chu Liu for her kindness, but she still can't believe that Concubine Qin really hanged herself——— she doesn't look stupid, how could she really hang herself?!
Could it be that someone designed it to die?
Sun Miaoxi's thoughts were tossing and turning, and she had arrived at the Furong Garden, where Concubine Qin lived alone.
When she entered, she found that not only Princess Rui was here, but even the old princess who only stayed in the Buddha hall to eat fast and recite Buddha, regardless of the affairs of the palace, also came.
Concubine Qin had already been hugged down and put on the bed, but the white silk she hung was still hanging on the beam, and there was still under the white silk
A small table that fell to the ground and fell apart has always been used by Concubine Qin to cushion her feet before.
Princess Rui motioned for Sun Miaoxi to stand beside her, and then began to interrogate Concubine Qin's maid Cuckoo: "You start from the beginning, first tell me why the Qin family wrestles for no reason?" ”
"The princess of the world let people take the concubine Qin to Jingyuan Xiaozhu for no reason, and imprisoned us in the west wing, the concubine was locked up in the stomach uncomfortable, so she wanted to go back to the hibiscus garden to rest first, who would have thought that she didn't walk a few steps out of the west wing, and the concubine slipped and fell, if it wasn't for the slave and maid hurriedly pounced on the ground to give the concubine a meat cushion, the concubine was afraid that the child in her womb would have been lost at that time......"
"When the slave returned to the Hibiscus Garden to change her clothes, she found that her back was stained with oil! I think someone spilled oil on the road that the concubine must pass through in the morning. I want to hurt the side concubine to fall down and have a miscarriage. The cuckoo sobbed as she offered her changed clothes.
Mother Qin, who was beside the princess, took it and sniffed it carefully, and said, "It's pine oil." ”
The princess was furious when she heard this. shouted: "There are people in the palace who dare to murder their heirs!" Even if the Qin clan is no longer there, I must investigate this matter to the end. ”
The cuckoo looked at Sun Miaoxi indignantly. insinuated and said: "Before the princess entered the door, the house has always been good, why did our concubine have an accident as soon as she entered the door?" I also ask the princess to be aware and avenge our concubine, so that she can go with peace of mind. ”
The princess was very fair, and explained for Sun Miaoxi: "The princess imprisoned the concubine because someone put a child-avoiding medicine in the tonic soup she drank, and several concubines on the side of Qin were suspicious, and the princess locked them up to find out the truth as soon as possible." ”
The old princess's face became more and more solemn when she heard this. Slowly asked out loud: "Even Ah Hao's daughter-in-law has been calculated?" ”
"Yes, because the matter has not been thoroughly investigated, the daughter-in-law does not dare to alarm the mother," the princess replied to the old princess, and then interrogated Du Juan: "You tell me why the Qin family wants to die." ”
"Our side concubine was forced to death by the princess! After the side concubine fell in Jingyuan Xiaozhu, she suspected that the princess wanted to harm her, and the more she thought about it after returning to the Furong Garden, the more afraid she became, afraid that the princess would poison her again! She is afraid that she will be frightened and unable to sleep and eat all the time in the future, so she will not be able to think about it for a while......"
The concubine had a soft thought. The slave persuaded her for a long time before she temporarily persuaded her, but she didn't expect that the princess would fall short as soon as she came! Du Juan pointed at Sun Miaoxi hatefully, gritted his teeth and said: "When the princess came, not only did she not say good things to persuade the side concubine, but she also used cruel words to anger the side concubine. She told the side concubine to die quickly, don't delay the time, and laughed at the side concubine for just pretending. Don't dare to really seek death! The side concubine was so angry that she couldn't think about it, so she really went! ”
The princess didn't expect things to be like this. couldn't help frowning slightly, and then asked, "When the Qin clan went." Where are you? ”
"The side concubine has been urging me to ask the princess to come and make the decision for her, the slave and maid can't resist her, so she can only rush out of the gang to order the others, who would have thought that the slave and maid would just leave for a short while, and when they came back, it was already too late!"
How dare Du Juan say that she had been waiting for the princess to come at the gate of the courtyard in order to inform Concubine Qin in advance?
Not to mention that she couldn't wait for the princess to turn back into the house, only to find that Concubine Qin was out of breath, and she hadn't noticed any movement before!
Sun Miaoxi saw that Du Juan's words were all insinuating that she was the one who killed Concubine Qin, so she had to stand up and say, "Mother, has the imperial doctor ever been here?" There is something else wrong with the Qin Clan. ”
Mother Qin replied for the princess: "The imperial doctor also said that he was strangled by a rope or something, and he couldn't breathe before he lost his breath." ”
In other words, Concubine Qin was indeed strangled to death by her neck.
But in addition to the fact that she really can't think of hanging, there is another possibility——— she may also be strangled with white silk first, and then hung on the hanging silk cover.
Sun Miaoxi is still inclined to believe that she was victimized, and does not believe that she committed suicide.
After all, she is still a mother, and no one can bring her unborn child to die together, right?
At this time, the cuckoo cried and shouted: "Our side concubine was really forced to death by the princess!" Ask the princess to make decisions for our side concubines......"
Du Juan was slapped by Sun Miaoxi's people before, and she had long held a grudge, but at this moment, the Qin family is dead, and she probably won't survive, and she wants to bite Sun Miaoxi before she dies!
She kept kowtowing "bang bang", knocking blood on her forehead, and begging the princess to make decisions for Concubine Qin in grief, and kept saying some presumptuous words: "The princess must be taboo about the child in the side concubine's womb, worried that if the side concubine gives birth to a young master, it will endanger her status as the main concubine, so she will first pour oil and want to cause the side concubine to fall down and slip the tire......"
"She didn't expect that our concubine would have a great life and be safe and sound in the end, so she deliberately used words to provoke the concubine to die! The slave and maid did not dare to indiscriminately wronged the princess, the slave and maid had evidence——— the princess had spoken in public in the morning, saying that she was not happy that the eldest son was born in front of the eldest son! Concubine Xiao, Aunt Liu and others can all testify! ”
Sun Miaoxi was speechless for a while, and she really couldn't refute Du Juan's accusation——— she became the housewife of a basket of concubines in the morning because she inexplicably, and she was really unhappy, so she was impatient to deal with Concubine Qin, so she casually said something like that to scare her.
Who would have thought that a word would become a prophecy? Concubine Qin not only lost her children, but also lost her people.
Let's talk about it. It's all because of Zhan Hao!
If he hadn't shamelessly and hypocritically lied to her and concealed her, she wouldn't have been so angry that she didn't choose to say anything!
"Miaoxi. Is this true? The princess frowned slightly, as if she was quite embarrassed.
"I said something like that to scare the Qin family, but I just want to scare her." Sun Miaoxi said coldly, and did not explain much——— those who are clear are self-turbid, if they don't believe her, she just says that it is useless to break her mouth."
The princess sighed helplessly: "You really shouldn't say something like that." ”
The old princess directly reprimanded Sun Miaoxi: "As the princess of King Rui, you are the future mistress of the palace, how can you say such unseemly and unscrupulous bastard words?" Compete with a side concubine, and you are not afraid of people's jokes? ”
Sun Miaoxi is really not afraid of people's jokes. Compared with being a good wife and mother who takes the initiative to take a concubine for her husband, and has to generously stage the drama of a wife and concubine, she would rather be laughed at for being jealous and unable to tolerate a concubine!
"It's about the princess's heirs, no matter who they are, but if there is any suspicion, they must be treated equally," the old princess had a majestic face, and her eyes slowly swept over Sun Miaoxi and the others: "Avoiding children's medicine, plotting to kill the heirs of the palace, and those who are inseparable from these two things, will all be locked up and investigated." ”
The old princess meant this. is to lock up Sun Miaoxi for interrogation and interrogation.
The princess hesitated a little and persuaded: "Mother, is this not okay? Miaoxi has just passed the door...... "The implication is that doing so will inevitably slap Sun Miaoxi in the face."
"Her face matters. Or is the heir of the royal family important? The old princess raised her eyelids and glanced at Sun Miaoxi lightly.
Sun Miaoxi was quite surprised by the old princess's words, don't ordinary people give the bride who has just entered the door a little face?
Why didn't this old princess leave her any face. Still vaguely hoping that she would make a mistake?
Could it be that she doesn't like herself?
Sun Miaoxi's mind spun quickly, thinking of a way to deal with it——— she couldn't be imprisoned. Otherwise, what kind of face will she, the princess, have in the Rui Wangfu in the future?
Seeing that the princess had not given the order for a long time, the old princess's face sank: "What? My words don't work? ”
"The Mother ......"
That's when it happened. The vermilion lacquer placed on the Luohan bed shook violently for no reason, shaking the tea cup and plate on the small table with a clanging sound.
"What's ...... back?"
"Bang dang!"
The princess's words were interrupted by the crisp sound of porcelain breaking, and everyone searched for the sound, and found that the tall table standing in the corner of the wall had been tilted to one side, and the vase with the pastel pattern of the eight immortals crossing the sea on the top had fallen to the ground and shattered into several petals.
Sun Miaoxi quickly swept the room and found that not only the small pieces of small pieces, high tables, and embroidery piers were shaking, but even the large objects such as the shelf bed, dresser, and octagonal sandalwood table were also shaking, and the speed was getting faster and faster!
She immediately realized that something was wrong, and instinctively grabbed the Lantern Festival and ran towards the house like Liangguo, shouting loudly as she ran: "Not good! It was the earth dragon that turned over, and everyone ran to the open place outside the house! ”
The words "earth dragon turned over" made the princess's face change dramatically, and she quickly retreated outside the house surrounded by the maid, but the earth dragon turned over very quickly, and everyone in the house avoided half of it, and half of it was still in the house, and the heavens and the earth suddenly shook ......
"Get down!"
Sun Miaoxi realized that she couldn't run at the moment, so she could only rely on some common sense to let everyone lie on the ground together, holding her head in her hands and waiting for the earthquake to pass.
Sun Miaoxi closed her eyes and didn't dare to look, but her ears kept hearing the roar of the house collapsing, and her mind was blank, at this moment, she found that she had no choice but to hide in place.
The heavens and the earth shook for less than a quarter of an hour, and calm was restored.
But this shock of less than a quarter of an hour is enough to destroy everything!
After Sun Miaoxi waited for the aftershocks to subside, he dared to open his eyes and look around, and found that most of the houses in Furong Garden had collapsed, and the main house where Sun Miaoxi and the others had just stayed completely collapsed, completely crushing the half of the people who had not yet exited in the ruins.
Fortunately, most of the courtyards of ancient houses were bungalows, and the courtyard of Furong Garden was extremely wide, so Sun Miaoxi and others were not crushed by the collapsed house stones, and only a few people were injured due to the ground under their feet.
The old princess and the princess were also safe and sound, but after seeing the tragic situation in the Furong Garden, they naturally did not dare to go back to their respective houses to hide, so they could only continue to stay in the empty courtyard.
The princess ordered someone to support the old princess, and then with a trace of expectation, let people go to the outer courtyard to find the imperial doctor; While arranging for people to look around to check the situation in the rest of the palace, it was natural that what happened before the earthquake would not be taken into account.
Sun Miaoxi didn't want to feel uncomfortable in front of the old princess, so she pulled Lantern Xiao and Liangguo to sit aside, and prevented Lantern Xiao from going back to Jingyuan Xiaozhu to check: "The earth dragon sometimes stops when it turns over, sometimes it turns over every once in a while, so don't move around at will, it's best to stay in an open place obediently." ”
At this time, it is best not to move around unless you have to, so as not to find a safe place to hide when the aftershocks hit.
While Sun Miaoxi's master and servant were talking, one of the people sent by the princess quickly turned back, but what he brought back was not the collapse of the palace house, but a more serious news......
"Princess, something is wrong! After the earth dragon turned over, many places in the capital collapsed, and I heard that many places in the imperial city were also damaged! The inner city was full of panic and chaos, and the outlaws of the Baiyun Sect waited for the opportunity to move, took advantage of the chaos to revolt, and under the banner of hoeing the strong to help the weak, killing the rich and helping the poor, they singled out the princes and nobles who guarded the chaotic mansions due to the turn of the earth dragon! ”
