Chapter 405: A Night Conversation with Mama Wu (I)
Before leaving,
Mama Wu remembered something again, and she didn't know if it was important, so she mentioned it to Bai Jingyin and said:
"Speaking of which, although the imperial concubine has always been pampered and willful, her temperament seems to be more and more manic and irritable during this time, and she is often haunted by nightmares.
"More manic and irritable ......"
Bai Jingyin wiped his chin and pondered,
Although I also felt that it was inappropriate, I didn't think much about it in the end:
"Probably due to the lack of yin and yang and endocrine disorders, menopause may be early. In this way, you pay more attention to her diet on weekdays, and if you can find anything and come back to me, if you don't have it, it's not convenient to force it. ”
"Yes, slave and maid obey."
Mama Wu blessed her body, thinking that she had lived most of her life and was not endocrine and menopause, and pushed out of the hall with an oil-paper umbrella.
Carefully walked all the way back to Linlang Palace,
As soon as I entered, I closed the door, turned around and bumped into Begonia. Mama Wu was really startled, her eyes widened, and her face turned white.
I thought I was going to be found like this, and I slipped into the trap,
Unexpectedly, Begonia didn't seem to think about that aspect, but blamed herself a little: "But I scared Mama, and blame me, I should have carried a lantern in the middle of the night." ”
Seeing the oil-paper umbrella tightly held in Mama Wu's hand,
"It's so late, how did Mama find it now?"
Mama Wu adjusted herself, regained her composure, and pretended to talk to Begonia as usual and chatted:
"Speaking of this umbrella, it's really enough to toss people. I went to the Qianqing Hall first, and the palace maid inside said that I had never seen it, so I went along the road to find it, and after looking for a circle, the palace maid ran over again, saying that it was originally placed in a hidden place behind the pillar, so I didn't see it. He invited me to a cup of tea and a few snacks because of his reparations, but it was too late. ”
"There are such careless palace maids in the Qianqing Palace, it's really hard for you."
"What's this?" Mama Wu forced a smile, changed her words, and lowered her voice to Haitang and instructed: "But you don't have to mention it to Niangniang when I come back so late, Niangniang is not expected to be in a good mood these days, if you know that I went to eat refreshments, I will be arrested again and punished by the head." ”
"Mama, don't worry, now there are only two of us in the old people in this palace, and Begonia and Mama should take care of each other."
Haitang took Mama Wu's hand and said with a smile:
"Besides, Mama, you have worked hard and have deep qualifications, so you should have some tea in your spare time. Unlike that Zhilan, who is still a lazy bone on weekdays, she went back to her room so early to rest. Haitang stared at the room where the lights were turned out and complained, "Fortunately, she is doing her best to serve Niangniang to drink soothing tea, otherwise, I will definitely sue Niangniang." ”
Mama Wu also glanced at the dark room,
As everyone knows,
She is not the only one who secretly walks out the person who has not returned.
***
"I heard that today in the Qianqing Palace, the imperial concubine and Jing Guifei had a dispute in front of the emperor, but in the end, she was punished again?"
In the Lingxue Pavilion,
Xue Ji was dressed in a feather robe, leaning on the couch, and talking about Ling Suxin was as funny as if she were listening to some joke.
"When I returned to my mother's words, the slave didn't follow me at the time, but when I saw the imperial concubine return to the palace, she was furious, and I roughly understood it from Haitang's complaints." The candle flame flickered, reflecting Zhilan, who was dressed in a black cloak and had an expressionless face. “”
"Stupid and obtuse."
Yukihime sneered sarcastically,
"I'm afraid that the matter of the Ling family is the last thing the emperor wants to hear now, so she hurried to the emperor and pleaded for a rebellious minister who dared to kill the king."
Yingsleeve echoed:
"It's really merciful for only punishing the imperial concubine for copying books, according to the slave maid, the imperial concubine's mind is afraid that the books in the entire library can't change anything."
"In the past, she was also used to smooth sailing, she had a net worth, and there were ......people who could rely on someone who could plan for her," said here, paused, and the smile in her eyes was even worse: "Speaking of which, none of the people in Linlang Palace stopped and admonished this time?" ”
"Mama Wu doesn't have anything, and the slaves and maids won't say anything."
"It seems that Mama Wu has also made up her mind to be a 'seller'."
Xue Ji raised her eyebrows lightly,
Holding a glass cup on his side and swaying it lightly in his hand, it contained a purple and blood-red wine, which was intoxicating when he smelled it.
"Concubine Jing is a cut above me, and can convince the imperial concubine to be the most senior and trusted by her, if there is a chance, I would like to know what method she used."
"Coercion and temptation, but these four words."
Sleeves back.
Xue Ji was noncommittal, and she really felt that it would not be so simple.
"You've come to look for me today, but there's some important news." After a short period of talking about side matters, the focus of the topic finally returned to Ling Suxin.
Zhilan nodded when she heard this,
"Back to Niangniang's words, after the imperial concubine returned to the palace, she was suspicious because of Concubine Jing's words, worried that her plan to 'regenerate and borrow seeds' on the night of Qixi Festival would be known to her, so she was terrified, and ordered the slave maid to quickly bring all the relevant evidence, such as the utensils used, incense......" Zhilan paused for a moment, and Fang continued, "And the man sent in the house. ”
"Haven't you been disposed of yet?"
"There are many things immediately after the Chinese Valentine's Day, and the mother has no time to take care of it, and Mama Wu does not take the initiative to remind her, so it has dragged on to this day."
"It's a good drag."
Xue Ji was happy in her heart,
"Since she wants to give me this evidence, then there is no reason why I should not accept it." Then he instructed Zhilan Dao, "Find an opportunity to find a way to secretly hand over the things to Yingsleeve, as for that person, tell him that the imperial concubine wants to kill him, and only I can protect him." If you know the times and are willing to be used by the palace, you can find a corpse to hand over, if you don't want to, you can do what you want. ”
"Niangniang is too worried, who will have a hard time with her own life."
After Zhilan leaves,
Xue Ji was so heavy that she didn't feel sleepy and was clear for a moment. Ying Sleeve took a thin blanket and covered Xue Ji on her body,
"Things are going very well, why is Niangniang so worried."
"Nothing, just glad. Fortunately, after getting that small part of the secret letter, he didn't tell the prince immediately, but waited and watched the changes, and sure enough, there was such a big turnaround. ”
"Yes, thanks to the mother's decision."
Yingsleeve also sighed:
"Who would have thought that after the discovery of the corpse, even a scheming person like Ling Xiang was convinced of the emperor's assassination, but the emperor still came back alive and intact, and the Ling family was forgiven on the surface, but the prestige, wealth and most importantly military power were hit hard."
