Chapter 446: The Source of Suspicion
Yi Xingen bit her lip and tried to keep herself from looking at the concubine.
She knows very well in her heart that now it seems that the emperor is asking, but in fact, it is the concubine who determines her life and death.
Judging from the emperor's series of attitudes just now, it is obvious that both Concubine Min and Du Langu are the people that the emperor wants to protect.
These two must have done something that the Son of Heaven could not tolerate at all, otherwise Chunjia would not have investigated it at all.
will even take the initiative to pretend to be confused and cover up their mistakes.
After all, Du Langu is talented and young; As for the concubine, she is deeply favored and favored.
In contrast, the stunning beauty she has is the most readily available to the Son of Heaven, and she is naturally not cherished.
If his answer can't satisfy the concubine, he will inevitably shake the pot in minutes and pick himself out.
The most terrible thing is that neither the concubine nor Yi Xingen expected Du Langu to be so iron-headed and at such a time, and they actually refused to follow the only way of life left by the concubine, admitting the relationship between the two brothers and sisters, and acting out of the stage again in the love of a brother and sister reunion after a long absence.
So Yun Fenghuang didn't give her advice on how to deal with it at such a time.
"Back to Your Majesty, the concubine and Lord Du are indeed brothers and sisters." Yi Xingen's heart was racing, and she said in a sad voice, "It's just that Lord Du was born at a young age, and he didn't grow up with his concubine. Later, the concubine's family suffered a great change and was sent to the fence. After Master Du succeeded in the imperial examination, he found a concubine, and originally planned to take care of the concubine. It's just a concubine ......"
She lowered her head, as if she was extremely embarrassed, and her voice quickly lowered, "Concubine...... I want to enter the palace to serve His Majesty. Master Du...... I didn't approve of it, and after that, because of the isolation of the deep palace, I didn't contact again. Originally, the concubine was fine in the palace, although she missed the only remaining relatives, she didn't dare to disturb without permission. ”
"But ......"
Yi Xingen finally glanced at the concubine, and stopped talking, not daring to speak.
Yun Fenghuang snorted coldly: "What do you do in this palace?" I didn't know you had such a talented brother! ”
“…… The concubine didn't dare. Yi Xingen said cautiously, "The concubine originally thought that Lord Du was favored by His Majesty, and the concubine had nothing to worry about. But when I was old, the mother ...... Although the concubine was unable to serve the sick at that time, she also heard a conversation from the top and bottom of Xuanqing Palace, and her heart was worried and panicked. The concubine is ......"
Her whole body shrank clearly, and she sobbed in a low voice, "The concubine is so worried, and Lord Du is also ...... is also like Niangniang and the children of the Xie family! That's why Cai, Cai secretly bribed the palace people with money, asked them to help contact people outside the palace, and tried to contact Lord Du. ”
"Actually, the concubine body has no other meaning, that is...... is the concubine's parents and family, except for Lord Du, who are no longer alive. ”
"In the past, the concubine didn't have any ideas, but when she saw her mother like that, I was afraid that one day, yin and yang would be separated, and I would ...... When the time comes, there is no time to regret it! ”
"So I want to follow
Master Du left more thoughts, and also hoped that the Seven Imperial Daughters would remember when they grew up that there was no one else in her biological mother's family, and there was still an uncle. ”
After speaking, I couldn't cry.
Although she is very beautiful, she is so sad and crying, the emperor doesn't feel anything, but it is the memory of the first Min Guifei as if she was reminded of a painful scene, and her mood is clearly low, Ling Chunjia frowned slightly, and said, "Okay, I already know." Shut up! ”
Yi Xingen was so scolded that she shuddered, and quickly raised her hand to cover her mouth, not daring to leak a whimper.
Du Langu's expression on her side was uncertain, as if she was speculating about the truth or falsehood.
After a while, Chunjia comforted Yun Fenghuan in a low voice, and seeing that the concubine was still depressed, he was a little disgusted that they were in the way, and directly ordered: "You go down, don't make a noise about this matter, and talk about it later!" ”
Du Langu and Yi Xingen hurriedly got up and retired.
When she went out, Yi Xingen quickly looked back, the Son of Heaven didn't know anything about her small movements, and was concentrating on coaxing the concubine softly.
Her expression was a little gloomy.
Because of the orders of the Son of Heaven, the guards of the nearby palace did not embarrass them.
After the brother and sister walked out for a while, Yi Xingen said in a low voice: "Give it this time...... I'm causing trouble to adults, and it's ...... left and right The Seven Princesses have also seen adults, and they will ...... in the future I won't bother you anymore. ”
"......" Du Langu didn't have any expression on his face, and when Yi Xingen was blessed and turned around to leave, he asked in a deep voice, "You really didn't tell the concubine in advance, the relationship between you and me?" ”
Yi Xingen smiled bitterly: "Not really. I...... Alas, believe it or not. Who are you as a concubine? If she had known about this early on and really wanted to take advantage of it, do you think today's matter is so simple? ”
She looked at no one on the left and right, and said quickly, "You offended her this time." Simply Zhaoqing is in front of the concubine, and there is still room for mediation. You don't have to worry about this, I'll do it. It's just that in the future, you don't have to be stubborn with the concubine like this. You also saw it just now, although Your Majesty values you in his heart, he feels even more sorry for the concubine. ”
Du Langu squinted, suddenly turned his head sideways, looked at her carefully, and said slowly: "Why did the concubine raise you to be a concubine in the first place?" ”
“……!!!!” Yi Xingen was stunned, but this time she was not pretending at all, she really didn't expect that the reason why this person firmly believed that it was the concubine who was calculating him tonight was because she was brought by the concubine to make an exception to seal the concubine?
Rao is determined to find a way to coax this brother, and she couldn't help but laugh angrily, "Mrs. Jinglang is the same batch of maidens who entered the palace as me, and she is now even higher than me!" Do adults think that she also has a brother of Jane in the emperor's heart?! ”
Du Langu was not embarrassed, and said his doubts slowly: "Although you are not as favored by the emperor as the concubine, in terms of beauty, in terms of fairness, you are better than the concubine!" Mrs. Jinglang is just like a concubine. The concubine has a good wrist, the city is deep, and she may not care about Mrs. Jinglang, but how can she be sincere
Lift you? Isn't she afraid of being taken away by you? Therefore, how can you rise out from under her hand without some reason? ”
“…… My lord. Knowing that the source of his suspicions did not come from tonight's turmoil, but something that didn't matter at all, Yi Xingen quickly calmed down and asked calmly, "If the concubine is really jealous of me because of my beauty, after knowing that I have a brother like you, won't she give me a good future?" After all, those who are in a high position in this palace, except for the special exception of the noble concubine, who is not from a famous family and has the support of a family background? Now the poor girl who has made an exception to seal the concubine, in the final analysis, is either attached to this or that. There is no one like the concubine, with her own ability, to occupy a place in the palace, right?! ”
"It's true that the concubine is not really virtuous." Yi Xingen raised her head, stared at Du Langu's expression, and sneered slightly, "But in terms of bearing, I haven't seen a second one like her in the palace." What if I was born more beautiful than her? As you saw just now, Your Majesty always only has her in his eyes, not me...... Even Zhaoqing, who is also my own royal daughter, raised in front of the concubine, is more favored by His Majesty than the Seven Imperial Daughters I raised! ”
She exhaled slowly and said sadly, "What I just said in front of the emperor is the truth. I have the protection of the concubine, and there is nothing in the palace that needs your support. Besides, I only gave birth to two princesses, and I don't even have an adopted prince under my knees, so what do you want to support? Zhaoqing is raised in front of the concubine, and there is no need to say much about the future. It's the Seven Imperial Daughters, for the sake of Zhaoqing's face, I will ask the concubine in the future, can the concubine still give some decency? ”
"As for what if the concubine is not good......"
"By then, will you be able to help me with anything?"
"The reason why I was able to make a concubine is because the concubine is not afraid of my beauty. It's also because I serve the concubine well! ”
"I don't believe you to inquire, who was the group of people who entered the Xuanqing Palace back then, who was so attentive to the concubine?"
"Guifei, I don't know what your ministers think of her. In the palace, who doesn't think that she is the most wanted lord of the palace concubine? Although the rules are tight, and the treatment after making mistakes is harsh, Ping Suri never tries to deal with his subordinates, but is quite tolerant. ”
"And as long as it's not her own fault, the concubine is very protective."
"It can be said that as long as you abide by the rules, be sensible and obedient, and under the hands of the concubine, you don't need to worry about anything."
Yi Xingen said this in one breath and said with a wry smile, "Didn't you persuade me to go to her for these reasons in the first place?" ”
Du Langu frowned and said, "How can I know so much about Concubine Min? At the beginning, I just thought that if you insisted on entering the palace, whoever you went to might be left by your mother and child, Concubine Min was a concubine at the beginning, and her foundation was shallow, so she might not dare to be caught rashly. So you still have a chance to live...... Well, tonight it looks like I misunderstood. ”
He hesitated and said slowly, "I will meet Your Majesty another day."
Sue, sorry for Concubine Min. ”
As for the relationship between the two, Du Langu didn't have much idea of maintaining it, "As you said, let's not meet in the future, just know that each other is fine." ”
Yi Xingen was disappointed and worried, and she didn't know if she could explain this result to Yun Fenghuang, but she was afraid that she would be too anxious, and Du Langu would see the truth and falsehood, so she only whispered: "Hmm." ”
Half an hour later, she saw the concubine who had left the table early and came back because she was "reminded of the grief of the past" in the Lanzhou Night Rain Pavilion, and said what happened in her heart: "Ask the mother to forgive, but the concubine is incompetent." ”
"I'm not to blame you for that." Yun Fenghuan was not in a good mood, but he didn't mean to be angry, so he only said slowly, "It's also that the palace doesn't know enough about this surnamed Du, so it's not enough to prepare." But anyway, since he has made his relationship with your brother and sister public, even if he doesn't help us in the future, when others want to entrap him, they will have to weigh it a little. ”
And again, "Besides, didn't he say that?" Brothers and sisters, just know that you are well with each other. But what if one of them is uneasy? ”
Yi Xingen sneered and said: "What Niangniang said is that the concubine is stupid. ”
"By the way, since he has met with the Seventh Imperial Maiden, what can he say?" Yun Fenghuang thought for a while, and then asked, "The Seventh Imperial Maiden is still so young, isn't he pretending?" ”
Yi Xingen hurriedly said: "That's not true. He was quite kind to the Seven Princesses, and even wanted to find something to serve as a meeting gift, but when he entered the palace, he was afraid of attracting taboos and had nothing to do, so he gave up. ”
"That's it." Yun Fenghuan nodded and said, "Your sister can't make him soft-hearted, isn't there still Zhaoqing and the Seven Emperor Maidens and their sisters?" If your niece comes to the door, can you still be turned away as an uncle like someone who is to you? Now that the princes are still young, the palace is not in a hurry at this time. ”
Seeing that she didn't mean to punish, Yi Xingen finally breathed a sigh of relief, she didn't know that Yun Fenghuang was smiling at the moment, but her heart was ruthless: "If this surnamed Du is still obsessed in two years, then the palace will arrange for him to sacrifice to the sky, so that there is a reason to exchange some benefits for Zhaoqing......"
It took her so much effort to calculate, and she wanted to turn around and leave, how could it be!
