Chapter Twenty-Three: Piercing Hypocrisy
"What is it for me to support so many people?"
When the rest of the people walked away, Rong Xi slowly looked at Du Yuwei and said.
"The Queen Mother has lost her memory, last time in the Regent's Palace, you teased me, but I haven't said anything yet!"
When Du Yuwei thought of being rejected that day, her heart was full of joy, and she was ridiculed fiercely, she clenched her fists tightly behind her.
Waiting for Du Yuwei to speak, Rong Xi thought of what she told Du Yuwei that day, looking at Du Yuwei's appearance, she opened her mouth in surprise and asked, "Did you let King Qingjiang ask for a kiss?" ”
Knowing that she was severely humiliated, Rong Xi deliberately asked this, Du Yuwei was so annoyed that her cheeks turned red, and she was very angry.
"The Queen Mother is when everyone is a palace maid and a guard in the palace, and she wants to play with it, so she plays like this, isn't it too much?"
When Rong Xi saw that she was angry, she knew that she really asked King Qingjiang to ask for marriage, but she was afraid that she would be severely humiliated by Mu Guichen, so she would come to settle accounts with herself.
No wonder that day, during the Dragon Boat Festival palace banquet, she looked at her as if she was going to eat her alive.
"That's not what I meant!"
Waving his hand, Rong Xi wanted to explain clearly, which was clearly a misunderstanding.
It's just that Du Yuwei decided that she was misunderstood, and wanted her to humiliate herself, so she didn't listen at all.
"Enough! The Queen Mother is really good-hearted, you have to enter the palace, but you want to hold on to the regent, what do you want? Do you have to revolve around you? Du Yuwei said angrily.
Rong Xi didn't want to harm her at all, and she knew how much courage Du Yuwei mustered, so she asked King Qingjiang to ask for marriage, but she said this to Du Yuwei because the regent had been using her as a shield last time.
"It's not like that, it's not what you think, I have nothing with the regent!"
The panicked explanation, in Du Yuwei's opinion, was to show off that they were very good, and the regent was willing to revolve around her.
"Don't take everyone for fools, Rong Xi, your enmity with me is also really set up for you, you said you don't like the regent, why did you commit suicide on the day you canonized the queen mother?"
Du Yuwei thought of it, before, Rong Xi relied on Mu Qinglin to marry the regent, but now, at this point, they are reluctant to let go, their Rong family wants so much, it is simply wishful thinking!
"I ......"
Rong Xi really has a mouth and can't say clearly, she can't say that she is from another world, she doesn't have the slightest thought about the regent, and the person who committed suicide that day is not her, how does she know what she thinks?
I'm afraid that if she says this, she will be regarded as a madman and imprisoned in the cold palace.
She couldn't speak, so Du Yuwei thought that she had nothing to say, and all her thoughts were guessed by Du Yuwei.
"Okay, very good, Rong Xi, you'd better not be caught by me, if I catch the handle, I won't spare you so easily."
Du Yuwei's words fell, and Rong Xi's eyes widened when she heard her words.
"You won't be ...... The mastermind of what happened in the palace these days, right? ”
"What's the matter?"
Du Yuwei was asked by her, looked at her suspiciously, and confirmed that something had indeed happened in the palace.
Thinking of the things that happened one after another in the palace, Rong Xi was afraid that Du Yuwei hated her so much, so she was involved in so many series of things.
It's just that, looking at Du Yuwei's appearance, it's not like it, if she really did it, why does she look like she doesn't know anything?
"Nothing."
Temporarily hiding from Du Yuwei, Rong Xi reached out and rubbed his eyebrows.
"Whether you believe it or not, I have no grievances with you, I don't mean to harm you on purpose, it's just an accident."
"Accident?" Du Yuwei smiled lightly: "Your accident made me lose face, you want to continue comfortably, don't even think about it." ”
Flicking her sleeves, Du Yuwei raised her chin proudly, and left the imperial garden with her personal maid.
In any case, Du Yuwei is an arrogant county lord, and she was tricked by Rong Xi once, how could she bear it when she was arrogant.
Rong Xi saw Du Yuwei's appearance, but called Lu Qi.
"You asked the people from the regent's side to check if the lord of Yiling was close to the people in the palace, and when were the last times he entered the palace?"
Lu Qi heard Rong Xi's words and knew that Rong Xi was suspicious of Du Yuwei.
"Yes."
After receiving the will, Lu Qi hurriedly retreated to do something. Rong Xi rubbed her eyebrows with a headache, Du Yuwei's hatred for her was so deep, I was afraid that after that, she would have one more object to be more careful with.
You know, a woman's heart is the most ruthless.
Originally, Rong Xi thought that the days of being the queen mother were very comfortable, and she could accompany the little emperor and have fun with so much money, who knows, once she came over, there were endless things that she needed to deal with, if she didn't handle it well, she was afraid that the current queen mother would not be able to keep her position.
This status quo is too far away from what she imagined.
Seeing that the little emperor was still waiting for him, Rong Xi pulled a smile and hurriedly went over to accompany him to paint.
On the other side, Du Yuwei left the palace, and the personal maid also found out about the matter and was called into the carriage by Du Yuwei.
"What happened to the thing I asked you to investigate?"
Du Yuwei came out of the imperial garden, and she was even more sure that something big must have happened in the palace, so she couldn't wait to ask clearly.
The personal maid lifted the corner of the carriage curtain to take a look, and after confirming that it was safe, she said slowly: "The slave maid went to the palace to ask, and I heard that a lot of palace maids have died in the palace recently, and they have all been thrown into the well or lake after death. Originally, one or two, others didn't care, at most it was someone else looking for death or accidentally falling in, but now, too many people have died in the palace, which makes people panic, and the regent and the queen mother will want to order a thorough investigation of the matter, and it took a lot of effort to inquire about this matter. The Queen Mother ordered everyone to keep silent to prevent the spread from spreading. ”
"There is such a thing!" Covering her mouth slightly with a handkerchief, Du Yuwei was surprised.
"Not only that, but there's even more to it." The personal maid looked at Du Yuwei, paused deliberately, and saw that Du Yuwei couldn't wait, so she said: "I heard that the coroner went to examine the bodies and found that they were raped and killed." At this time, the palace maids were even more panicked, and one or two people didn't dare to go out. ”
