Chapter 8 The twists and turns of the palace fight
This person is the recently favored concubine Niangniang, Yu Qiujin.
Her face turned pale with fright, and she defended: "Your Majesty, this thing was not put by the concubine!" Before the concubine wore a peony silk flower, the queen mother praised the concubine, so the concubine wanted to make a peony and present it to the queen mother at the birthday banquet, but this thing was really not put by the concubine! This silk flower was presented to the Queen Mother this morning! ”
Yu Qiujin was panicked and scared, and his whole body was trembling.
The emperor's eyes were cold, staring straight at her, and he said coldly: "Even if you didn't put it with your own hands, the thing came from your palace, and it must have nothing to do with the people in your palace. ”
Yu Qiujin's thin body trembled constantly, and begged: "Your Majesty, it's really not a concubine, the queen mother has come to be kind to the concubine, how can the concubine murder the queen mother?" ”
"Your Majesty! The concubine will never do such a thing, this silk flower was sent by the slave maid, and if there is a mistake, it is all the slave's sin, and the slave will apologize for the crime with death! A maid beside Yu Qiujin stood up abruptly and rushed towards the pillar on the side.
These slaves and maids have been raised by their side since childhood, and at critical moments, it is their mission to sacrifice themselves to protect the master.
The maid was very fast, but she didn't die.
Because Bai Jingyin's movements were faster, he grabbed her, threw her back to Yu Qiujin's side lightly, and said lightly: "Since it wasn't done by your concubine, what are you doing looking for death?" All things are traceable, no matter how clever the means, as long as there are clues, they can be found out. ”
When the emperor heard this, he couldn't help but put his cold and sharp gaze on Bai Jingyin's face, and his voice was slightly hoarse: "Do you have a way?" ”
Bai Jingyin looked at Commander Zhang, and said slowly: "I'm tired of Commander Zhang, I ordered someone to catch a few bats." ”
Commander Zhang didn't know why, but he had already seen Bai Jingyin's skills, and subconsciously, he actually felt a little convinced of her.
"Just now, the imperial doctor said that these blood bats are raised, so when they go out, they must obey orders. Animals obey commands, generally by smell, hearing, or eyes. There are three bats here, let's do an experiment first, this one, remove the sense of smell. Bai Jingyin said as he sealed the bat's nose with wax oil. ”
She released the bat, which soon escaped in the temple and flew outside.
"This one, remove the vision." Bai Jingyin used another bat, blindfolded it, and then released it.
The bat also quickly escaped from the temple and flew outside.
"The last one, let's remove the hearing." Bai Jingyin used wax oil to seal the bat's ears and then released it.
The bat stumbled up in the temple, but its head was bleeding and it still couldn't find its way out.
It can be seen that these bats rely on their sense of hearing to distinguish their directions. They have a sense of smell and sight, but they have the sharpest sense of hearing, and if you really want to raise them, you must use the characteristics they are best at as commands. Bai Jingyin said calmly.
Her gaze was fixed on a concubine who had been silent.
Everyone followed her gaze, and the concubine was the first small transparent existence in the palace, named Concubine Li.
Today, however, she is particularly peculiarly decorated, wearing a flower crown made of bells on her head, and bells on her wrists and ankles. It was originally dressed as a Miaojiang girl, and it was new and peculiar. Tonight is the birthday banquet of the Queen Mother, and all the concubines are competing for beauty, and there are many strange dresses, which are not the most peculiar.
But what Bai Jingyin said in conjunction with Bai Jingyin is intriguing.
"If I'm not mistaken, since the birthday banquet, this lady has been following behind the Queen Mother, and the bell ringing on her body can let the bat know her location." Bai Jingyin speculated.
"Then why is she okay? Bats attacked others? The Emperor asked, puzzled.
"Then I have to ask this lady, what kind of interest is it on her body?" Bai Jingyin said slowly, "There are two things that bats are most afraid of, one is strong light, but smoke, especially sulfur smoke. ”
The emperor took a few steps forward, and sure enough, he smelled a strong smell of sulfur mixed with wormwood on Li Concubine's body.
His face instantly turned like ink.
"What is the purpose of you, persecuting the Queen Mother and framing the concubine?" The emperor kicked Concubine Li to the ground and asked through gritted teeth.
"Your Majesty, the concubines don't have - the concubines don't!" Concubine Li was kicked to the ground by the emperor, and knelt down in front of the emperor, grabbed the hem of his clothes, and cried, "How dare the concubine do such a thing-"
"Your Majesty, everything is done by slaves! The slave is a native of Miaojiang, familiar with the matter of captive bats, and knows their habits well. Concubine Li has the grace of reinvention for the slave maid, but Concubine Yu is so powerful that she humiliates Concubine Li Niangniang so much! On the same day, they entered the palace together and lived in Chaoyang Palace, and now she is a noble concubine, but she wants to monopolize the palace and let Concubine Li move to a small hall that does not see the sun all day long! The slave is angry! These things are all done by the slave maid alone, and they have nothing to do with Concubine Li! ”
A servant girl beside Concubine Li suddenly knelt down, and after making a generous statement, she bit her tongue and poisoned herself, and died on the spot.
"Red Plum! Red plum! When Concubine Li saw that the personal maid was dying at the moment, she was so frightened that she shrank and cried, "I live in a small hall, but I have no ability and cannot be favored, and the concubine lives alone in a hall, which is a rule, why should you bother?" Why should you bother? ”
"Come on, throw this maid to the mass grave, Concubine Li is not strict, she will be fined for one year and grounded for half a year." The Emperor commanded with a cold face.
A farce came to an end.
Bai Jingyin only came to this Daqi for a short time, and he witnessed the death of several maids.
In this feudal ancient period, human life was really regarded as a mustard. The master's life is precious, so aren't these maids human? Why do you want the maid to die instead of you for the wrong thing you did?
If she made a mistake, she was categorically reluctant to let Chengying die. Bai Jingyin sighed.
"Jing Guard. How did you become acquainted with bats? Just as he was wondering, Commander Zhang on the side suddenly stepped forward and asked mysteriously.
Because she has received nine years of compulsory education and studied biology! Bai Jingyin glanced at him, and had no choice but to say: "Read ten thousand books and know the world." ”
"Disrespectful and disrespectful, I didn't expect that the Jing guard is not only good, but also a scholar, by the way, Your Majesty will reward you with a promotion to a level, and you will be outside the Taihe Hall in the future. Gao is not happy? Not surprised? Zhang Huaiyi asked.
"That's it? No real money reward? It's really a slam on the door. Bai Jingyin was not interested.
His Majesty the Emperor, who was about to sit down and leave: "........" doesn't know what to lift!
