Chapter 62: Escape
Just when Concubine Pei Xian was still struggling with what to do, the public opinion outside gradually rose, after all, Hu Yiyi was forcibly invited into the palace by Jiang Fangyi, who had a grudge against her, and the fact that she never left the palace after that was enough to make people think in the direction of the conspiracy.
On the day Hu Yi entered the palace, it was the tortoiseshell that sent Hu Yi into the palace, and she waited at the palace gate for a long time in the afternoon, and she didn't wait for Hu Yi to come out, she knew that Hu Yiyi must have encountered some trouble, although she was a little anxious, but she was not panicked, she went directly to the Qianjin Pavilion and asked Lu Jingzhan to inquire about the situation in the palace.
Then the tortoiseshell went back to Hu's house, so that people could go to Hu Zijue to discuss, and arrange for someone to spread the news in the capital that Hu Yiyi could not get out of the palace today.
After Lu Jingzhan and Hu Zijue's inquiry, the tortoiseshell and the others learned that Hu Yiyi had an accident in the palace, but now that people are safe, everyone is relieved, and all that remains is how to do Hu Yiyi outside the palace.
It is nothing more than spreading the news that Hu Yiyi was almost killed by Jiang Yue as widely as possible.
Hu Yiyi is Hu Xiuyuan's daughter, Hu Zichen's sister, Hu Xiuyuan and Hu Zichen are both heroes who defend the country, few people in the capital don't know about them, and now Hu Yi has an accident, and he was almost killed by a favorite concubine, and the people have never had a good impression of the favorite concubine, so one is a favorite concubine, and the other is loyal and good, it goes without saying where the people will stand.
And Hu Zijue also arranged for someone to impeach Jiang Yue for being arrogant and cruel to Zhongliang, and scolded the Weiwu Marquis Mansion for not teaching her daughter well, and let her do this kind of thing after entering the palace.
The Weiwuhou couple were also shocked when they heard that Jiang Yue Xuan Hu Yiyi had entered the palace, but they almost killed Hu Yiyi, and they did not doubt the truth of this matter at all, because since Hu Yiyi stopped Jiang Yue from going to Fengyang Mansion to find Zheng Hong last time, Jiang Yue hated Hu Yiyi very much, so in the face of the impeachment of Yushi, Weiwuhou was irrefutable and could only ask for guilt.
And this attitude of the Mighty Marquis Mansion proves from the side that Jiang Yue did it, otherwise how could the Mighty Marquis Mansion admit it so happily?
This is actually part of Hu Zijue's calculations, and now the results in the palace have not yet come out, if Emperor Yonghe has the heart to protect Jiangyue, then it will be difficult for Hu Yiyi to seek justice, so Hu Zijue first asked people to impeach the Weiwu Hou, taking advantage of the disadvantages of the Weiwu Hou Mansion not knowing much about the situation in the palace, and let the Weiwu Hou admit this matter first.
And the mighty marquis himself didn't have many eyes, so he didn't expect that this matter was a trap at all, the most important thing was that he felt that Jiang Yue was completely capable of doing this matter, so he didn't even say a word of rebuttal, and directly asked for guilt, so that Emperor Yonghe could forgive his goddaughter.
The discussion of the people outside, the mighty marquis happily pleaded guilty, so that Emperor Yonghe couldn't protect Jiangyue.
As soon as the attitude of Emperor Yonghe's side was clear, Concubine Pei Xian's side also became quick, and she found out that the person who rescued Hu Yiyi in the cold palace that day was Emperor Yonghe's younger brother - King Rongzong of Qin.
"The emperor and Rong Zong are brothers of the same mother, both are the sons of the old King Qin, the emperor is the eldest son, and Rong Zong is the youngest son, so the two are more than ten years apart, the first emperor had no children, so the emperor succeeded to the knee, so the title of King Qin was inherited by Rong Zong, he is also one of the only two princes with a fief among so many princes of Dayan, so many years, Rong Zong has been in the fief, so you have never seen him, this time the emperor called him back to Beijing." Empress Hu told Hu Yiyi about King Rongzong of Qin.
"I see." Hu Yi nodded.
It turned out to be the younger brother of Emperor Yonghe, and he was also the prince of a fief, no wonder he was so arrogant.
However, since King Qin has not returned to Beijing for many years, how could he get mixed up with the concubines in the palace of Emperor Yonghe as soon as he returns to Beijing? Looking at it like that, the two of them are still old acquaintances......
There is something about the cheating between King Qin and his concubine, Hu Yiyi originally planned not to say anything about it, including Queen Hu, but now that he knows the identity of King Qin, Hu Yiyi will not reveal anything.
After all, who knows that this matter will not be a good thing, and it doesn't matter if this matter is about her and Queen Hu.
With King Qin's arrogant appearance that day, it is estimated that even if this matter is known, he is not afraid, at most, the palace concubine is a little unlucky, so if she tells Queen Hu, maybe King Qin has nothing to do, but she and Queen Hu will definitely be retaliated against by King Qin.
In this way, it is better not to say anything about it, just let Emperor Yonghe's head be green!
Since Hu Yi said that King Qin saved her, Concubine Pei Xian naturally sent someone to ask King Qin.
When Rong Zong heard the person sent by Concubine Pei Xian tell him what Hu Yiyi said, he chuckled a few times, feeling that Hu Yiyi was a little clever and knew how to help him keep secrets.
Since the little girl is so careful that she doesn't dare to mess with herself, then he shouldn't scare the little girl.
Rong Zong's eyes flashed with a hint of interest, and then affirmed Hu Yiyi's statement, saying that he saw the two eunuchs wanting to kill Hu Yiyi, so he rescued Hu Yiyi, but he didn't take it seriously, so he accidentally killed the two eunuchs.
Naturally, no one cared about the life and death of the two eunuchs with King Qin, so this matter quickly came to light.
Jiang Yue naturally refused to admit that she was going to kill Hu Yiyi, what kind of crime this was, she still knew very well, so she pushed everything on Father-in-law Liu, saying that it was because when Father-in-law Liu went to Hu's house to invite Hu Yiyi the day before, he was humiliated by Hu Yiyi's words, so he held a grudge and wanted to harm Hu Yiyi, and this matter had nothing to do with her.
"Your Majesty, the Queen, the Virtuous Concubine! The concubine really doesn't know about this matter, the concubine has been friends with Miss Hu for many years, and she is a close friend in the boudoir, many people know about this, and the concubine has no reason to harm her! Jiang Yue cried and shouted grievances, and said to Xiang Zhiwan: "Sister Xiang, you can help me prove that the four of us have known each other for several years and have always been good sisters, I have no reason to do this!" ”
Xiang Zhiwan moved her mouth, she glanced at Jiang Yue, who was kneeling on the ground and crying miserably, and then looked at Hu Yiyi, who had a calm face and was only a little cold, and said ruthlessly: "You used to have a good relationship with Sister Xie, but now it is not what it used to be, you have long stopped treating her as a good sister." ”
Although Xiang Zhiwan's words were not explicitly stated, they denied Jiang Yue's words.
"I really don't know about this matter, it's all Gonggong Liu's assertion......" Jiang Yue's argument was a little weak.
Hu Yiyi chuckled, she walked into Jiang Yue and looked at her condescendingly: "Fangyi Niangniang, haven't you forgotten that you have harmed me in the past, just by virtue of this, you can prove that you really have murderous intentions towards me." ”
Then, Hu Yiyi told her that Jiang Yue had given her a poisonous white hosta, which almost killed her in Huangquan, and Queen Hu's gaze at Jiang Yue could almost erupt fire.
"What evidence do you have for this!" Jiang Yue's gaze became fierce, and she no longer had the smiling appearance she had before.
"Sister Lin and Sister Xiang can testify, and the doctor I once invited in the house can also testify, you did have that hairpin on the gift list you gave me that time, and that hairpin is still in the house, in order to prove that I am not lying, Concubine Xian Niangniang can send someone to verify, last time, I read the past love and righteousness, and I don't care about you Niangniang, but you have never let go of your desire to kill me, I really don't know what kind of hatred I have with Niangniang...... If I say that you are doing this to me because of Zheng Hong, Zheng Hong and your lives will not be reported, and the Zheng and Jiang families will be affected. ”
Jiang Yue was rare to be smart this time, and instantly understood the meaning of Hu Yi's words.
She has been biting herself and has no reason to hurt Hu Yiyi, but as long as Hu Yiyi says that she is like this because of Zheng Hong, then everything makes sense, but the key is that she is now a concubine, involved with other men, and kills people for this, which is an insult to the emperor, Emperor Yonghe's suspicion is strong, even if she and Zheng Hong have nothing, but it is difficult to guarantee that Emperor Yonghe will not hold a grudge, and then not only she and Zheng Hong will suffer, but the Jiang family and the Zheng family will also be implicated......
So Jiang Yue could only admit with hatred: "That's right, I did it, Concubine Xian doesn't have to send someone to verify!" Because I hated her for her good life, good family background, and good appearance, I killed her and asked the emperor to punish her! ”
After that, Jiang Yue kowtowed to Emperor Yonghe and cried silently.
Xiang Zhiwan turned her head and couldn't bear to look at Jiang Yue, but she still didn't say anything.
"Okay, Yue'er is at fault in this matter, but Yiyi is not damaged, so there is no need to toss more, I will punish her well, and I will make up for Yiyi's well, so it's all gone!" Emperor Yonghe waved his hand, looking a little tired.
"Your Majesty!" Empress Hu naturally couldn't bear this breath, but she dared to call Emperor Yonghe, but she was stopped by Hu Yiyi.
Seeing this, Emperor Yonghe snorted lightly, and said to Queen Hu in a cold voice: "Does the queen have any objections?" ”
Hu Yiyi hurriedly pulled Queen Hu's sleeve, and Queen Hu looked at Hu Yiyi, who shook her head slightly, and took a deep breath before saying to Emperor Yonghe: "The emperor is sage, and the concubines have no objections." ”
Emperor Yonghe laughed with satisfaction and said to Empress Hu: "The queen still learns from Yi Yiduo!" ”
After that, Jiang Yue, who was still a little scared and a little lucky, left, and when Concubine Pei Xian and the others also left, Queen Hu's face was instantly ruined.
Hu Yiyi didn't know how to comfort Queen Hu, so he could only accompany Queen Hu silently.
The evidence that Jiang Yue wanted to kill Hu Yiyi was conclusive, and she herself confessed, but because Hu Yiyi did not have an accident, and the most important thing is that Emperor Yonghe was still in the fresh period for Jiang Yue, so he was a little reluctant to Jiang Yue, so Emperor Yonghe just demoted Jiang Yue to the lowest level of the elective servant, punished Jiang Yue for being grounded for half a year, and generously rewarded Hu Yiyi with many things to make up for Hu Yiyi.
In this way, this matter is settled, and Hu Yiyi and others were able to leave the palace.
As soon as Hu Yi walked to the gate of the palace, she saw a person she didn't really want to see - Rongzong, the king of Qin.
Hu Yi wanted to avoid it, but it was obvious that Rong Zong was coming for her: "Miss Hu has this attitude when she sees a helper?" ”
So Hu Yiyi could only step forward and salute: "His Royal Highness the King of Qin atoned for his sins, the courtiers were recently harmed by people and almost died in Huangquan, so they were not in good spirits, so they didn't see the prince." ”
Facing Hu Yiyi's secret ridicule, Rong Zong didn't seem to hear it, and smiled kindly: "Then this king should be blamed, he didn't show up to save him earlier, which frightened that Hu girl." ”
Hu Yi said with a smile: "The prince is polite, if it is possible, the courtier does not want to meet the prince, after all, the prince is so noble, if something happens to 'save' the courtier, it is the sin of the courtier." ”
