104. Chapter 102
At midnight, Qing Cang hugged Qin Yuan, lying comfortably on the bed in the Anshen Temple, and suddenly Qin Yuan opened her eyes, without a trace of sleepiness, she listened to the movement outside, just waiting for Aunt Lan to come to report the situation on the other side of the moat of the West Palace, she knew that tonight was destined to be unpeaceful.
Next to the moat of the West Palace, the good nobleman stood upright by the river in light clothes and no makeup, looking at the water with anxious eyes, as if waiting for something, at this moment the good nobleman's face was a little nervous, the muscles on his face were tight, without a trace of smile, and then turned around and looked uneasily at the dense bushes not far away, looking for Aunt Lan's figure, because the night was too dark, she couldn't find where Aunt Lan was.
In the dense bushes, Aunt Lan hid behind a big tree, looked at the good nobles by the river seriously, prayed that nothing would go wrong for a while, and there was a woman standing beside her, she was the personal maid of Concubine Yi, and not far from the tree, Yuru was wearing a night suit to hide in the tree, if anything went wrong for a while, her task was to escape with Aunt Lan.
The river was quiet and there was no wave, and the good nobleman felt that the time was a little too long at the moment, and she was even a little afraid, Mu Ling would not come to pick her up, at this time, she saw an indifferent and elegant figure quietly walking in from the side, and said in a soft and sharp tone, "Who are you waiting for?" ”
The night was already silent, this sound made the good noble person startled, hurriedly turned around and looked, and carefully saw that it was the Chun noble concubine, the good noble man tightened his fists at the moment, suppressed the tension at the moment, and said in a cold tone, "It's so late, the Chun noble concubine is not resting in the dormitory, why did you come here?" ”
Concubine Chun suddenly sneered, "This sentence should be asked by this concubine, right, why did the good nobles come to this moat in the middle of the night?" Are you waiting for the lover of the Xue family? ”
The good nobleman was so nervous at the moment that his heart was pounding, he looked at the calm water nervously, and said in a very unhappy tone, "Concubine Ji and Concubine Chun have no grievances or hatred, how can Concubine Chun be willing to give up?" Just because the concubine is introverted on weekdays, do you want to harm the concubine like this? Concubine Chun resents Concubine Hui, you can go to Concubine Hui to repay her, why do you want to implicate Concubine Ji, the concubine will not admit such a crime of fornication! ”
Concubine Chun was a little stunned when she heard this, she didn't know why the noble person wanted to say such a thing, she just heard that Concubine Chun had an affair with the Xue family's concubine, and she was pregnant, and she was scheduled to elope and escape in the moat tonight, she couldn't tolerate Concubine Hui, how could she miss this opportunity? So I came here tonight, pre-grasping the appearance of the good nobleman, but the words of the good nobleman at the moment made the concubine a little suspicious, and suddenly her pupils dilated instantly, and she said silently in her heart: Not good! Hit the trick!
At this time, I saw a figure poking out of the water and shouted in a low voice, "Mo'er, I'm here!" ”
Mo'er is Mu Ling's affectionate name for the good nobleman, in the dark night, the good nobleman couldn't see who the person under the water was, but confirmed from the title that Mu Ling was coming, and he was overjoyed for a while, and suddenly shouted hysterically, "Concubine Chun, Concubine Ji will die today to prove Concubine Ji's innocence!" ”
Then only to hear the sound of "plop", the good nobleman jumped into the water without hesitation, only to see that the man under the water was Mu Sheng, the body was light into the water, without waiting for the good nobleman to make any reaction, a handful of the good nobleman pulled the good nobleman into the deep river, the good nobleman saw that the person in front of him was not Mu Ling at all, and was shocked for a while, and then began to struggle to the death, but before he could shout, he was pressed into the water by Mu Sheng, who was quick to move, only to see that the water surface reappeared and returned to calm, occasionally floating up a few strings of blisters from the depths of the river, not for a while, I saw the corpse of the noble man slowly floating on the water, and this series of actions was only half a pillar of incense.
Concubine Chun on the shore was already a little panicked, she knew that this was the bureau set up by Concubine Hui, her body trembled and was ready to turn around and flee, only to hear Aunt Lan exclaim loudly, "Come on, come and save the good noble, the good man has fallen into the water!" ”
Concubine Chun was on the spot, facing all kinds of situations, she was a little at a loss for a while, her panicked eyes kept moving in her eyes, at this time several guards ran from a distance, Huixin immediately shouted, "Catch Concubine Chun, she is the culprit who forced the good nobleman to death, hurry!" Fast! ”
The guards were a little inexplicable for a while, and Concubine Chun was even more nervous at the moment, her heart seemed to be pressed by an invisible boulder, her mouth kept trembling, her mind was blank, and Huixin hurriedly ordered, "Can't you understand what this official is saying?" Hurry up and capture Chun's concubine, and if there is any mistake, the official will bear it alone. ”
Seeing that Concubine Chun was so anxious, the guards didn't dare to slack off anymore, and then stepped forward to capture Concubine Chun, and Concubine Chun struggled and said, "You let go of this concubine, what qualifications do you have to offend me?" Let go! Let go! ”
No matter how Concubine Chun shouted, the guards all grabbed Concubine Chun to death, and at this time Huixin said coldly, "Hmph, Concubine Chun should leave these words to the Queen Mother and Concubine Yi!" ”
At this time, more guards came running from afar, and Aunt Lan hurriedly ordered, "Quick, quickly get the good nobleman up." The guards hurriedly entered the water to salvage the good nobleman, only to see that the good nobleman's eyes were closed, not showing a trace of vitality, a guard stepped forward and stretched out his hand in front of the good nobleman's nose, and suddenly said in shock, "Lan Sishan, the good nobleman is dead......
Aunt Lan was suddenly shocked, Huixin glanced at Concubine Chun angrily, and scolded angrily, "Hmph, Concubine Chun, you are so ruthless, you actually forced the good nobleman to death." Hui Guifei immediately said hysterically, "This concubine doesn't, this concubine is wronged!" ”
"Hmph, the slave maid and Lan Sishan heard it really well, it was you who forced the good nobleman to death, escorted the concubine Chun back to the palace, and waited for the queen mother and concubine Yi to make a decision early tomorrow morning!"
The guards then ordered the concubine to retreat, and the concubine struggled and shouted, "Let go of this concubine!" Let go! This concubine was wronged! Let go! ”
The shouts of the concubine gradually faded away, and Aunt Lan had to admire Huixin's awe-inspiring at the moment, even if the palace maid was a female official, her grade was higher than that of the concubine, but her identity was not as powerful as the concubine after all, but at the moment, Huixin was so awe-inspiring, without the slightest fear, that couldn't help but make Aunt Lan a little out of reach.
Hui Xin then slowly walked to the corpse of the good nobleman, and ordered everyone to do, "Keep this corpse and carry it down, and wait for the imperial doctor to come and identify it." The guards then responded.
After the guards had retreated, Hui Xin hurriedly said to Aunt Lan, "Lan Sishan, you hurry back to the palace to inform your master of the situation, and the official will go back to the palace to inform Concubine Yi, and we will see you tomorrow." Aunt Lan then nodded heavily, and the two hurriedly walked in the direction of their respective palaces, and the jade ru on the treetops also hurried towards the Anshen Temple with a brisk pace.
In the dormitory of the Anshen Temple, Qin Yuan lay quietly beside Qing Cang, looking at the moonlight outside the window from time to time, she couldn't help but feel a little worried, she was afraid that something would go wrong, and Aunt Lan would be difficult to deal with, so she informed Yi Guifei of the matter and asked Huixin to help, but for the affair between the good nobles and Mu Ling, Qin Yuan concealed it from Yi Guifei, after all, this kind of thing involving the head of the Xue family is still as few people as possible.
At this time, I only heard the door of the dormitory "creak" and was pushed open, and Aunt Lan then walked to the side of the bed, and said softly mixed with panic, "Master, can you sleep?" Qin Yuan turned around slowly, lifted the curtain and asked lightly, "What's the matter?" Aunt Lan looked at Qing Cang lying inside, and said softly, "Master, something happened." Qin Yuan glanced at Qing Cang on the side, and got up slowly, for fear that she would wake him up.
But even so, Qing Cang on the side still woke up, and slowly opened his eyes tiredly, "Yuan'er, where are you going?" Qin Yuan smiled softly, "I'll go out for a while, you go to sleep first, and I'll be back in a while." Qing Cang glanced at Aunt Lan's face, and then said softly, "Is there anything you still hiding from me?" ”
Qin Yuan smiled, looked at Aunt Lan, and then sat down indifferently and said, "Let's talk about it here." ”
Aunt Lan then bowed her head and said, "Back to the emperor, back to Niangniang, when the slave and maid passed by the moat of the West Palace with Hui Xinzi tonight, they happened to meet a good nobleman and a Chungui concubine, and the good nobleman kept accusing Chungui of framing her, and then she committed suicide after falling into the water after confessing her innocence." ”
Qing Cang's face was slightly heavy when he heard this, Qin Yuan then pursed his lips and said indifferently, "Leave this matter to the Queen Mother and Concubine Yi, we don't have to meddle in this matter." Aunt Lan then raised her eyes and said anxiously, "Master, the good nobles kept saying that Concubine Chun slandered her for having an affair with the concubine of the Xue Mansion, and this matter was implicated with you, so the slave and maid came to report it." ”
Qin Yuan was quickly shocked when she heard this, "What? How is this possible! ”
"The slave and maid heard it very true, and Huixin also heard it on the side, the good nobleman was killed on the spot, and Huixin has ordered the guards to take him back to the palace, waiting for the decision between the queen mother and the concubine tomorrow."
Qin Yuan couldn't hide her panic for a while, Qing Cang couldn't lie down at this time, and slowly got up and said, "Yuan'er, don't worry too much, everything is with me." Qin Yuan looked at Qing Cang with great concern and said, "Your Majesty, this is a big crime that has been copied all over the house, where did you hear the rumors of Concubine Chun?" Even if you give the Xue family a hundred guts, you don't dare to do it. ”
Qing Cang hugged Qin Yuan and said softly, "Yuan'er, don't worry, I won't let you suffer the slightest grievance with me." ”
Qin Yuan then rested her head on the crook of Qing Cang's arm, her eyes revealing a hint of invisible profundity, when the sun rises today, Qin Yuan will face another battle of lips and tongues......
