Chapter 16 Bedding
That day, Concubine Hua said that she was committing adultery with Chen Zhan, and the emperor let her go without saying anything, and now she is caught like this, isn't she slapping him in the face? But being scared now is not the same thing, Tang Ningnan was thinking about countermeasures quickly in his mind.
"Look up." Feng Feihan said coldly, Tang Ningnan raised his head stiffly, the original delicate makeup was also spent, his face was stained with dark mud, and the plain dance skirt was even more unsightly, and it seemed that he could smell the stench of erosion from a distance of ten meters.
"Concubine Hua accused you of fornicating with Chen Zhan that day, I believed your words, when she was chasing the wind and catching shadows, and now Chen Zhan is lying in the house, how do you explain?" Feng Feihan looked at her from afar, his eyes revealing the taste of calculation, as if he wanted to rip a piece of meat off her.
"Concubine, she was framed, please ask the emperor to investigate!" Since you can't escape, you can only face it directly.
"Queen, when you came, where was Concubine Xiao?"
"When the concubine came, Concubine Xiao was in the room." The queen replied.
"Concubine Xiao, Chen Zhan is lying inside, and the queen testifies, you were all in the room at the time, do you still have to quibble? You must be clear that your words and deeds can affect the relationship between Daliang and Miao Jiang. ”
"Your Majesty, the concubines ......"
"Your Majesty, the concubine believes that Concubine Xiao was framed." As soon as Tang Ningnan was about to speak, the queen knelt down to defend herself to the emperor on her behalf.
"Why did the queen say this, Concubine Xiao came out of this house, and the queen saw it with her own eyes, how can you be sure that Concubine Xiao was framed?"
"Back to the emperor, when the concubine came, the door of this side hall was locked from the outside, and Concubine Xiao was locked inside, and it was impossible for her to lock the door and enter it by herself.
The concubine only came to the Lama Palace when she heard Concubine Xiao's call for help, if Concubine Xiao really had an affair with General Chen, she naturally didn't want people to bump into her, how could she call for help and attract the attention of others? After speaking, he looked up and forgot about Tang Ningnan.
Tang Ningnan understood, and hurriedly took over: "Yes, Your Majesty, today's banquet is over, the concubine and Bizhu returned to the palace, and walked to the imperial garden, the concubine saw someone behind the rockery, and then fainted, and she woke up and was here, and Bizhu didn't know where she was."
I don't remember what happened in the middle, the concubine must have been framed, and wanted to frame the concubine with the crime of fornication between the concubine and Chen Zhan, and asked the emperor to investigate. After speaking, Tang Ningnan kowtowed deeply again.
"Your Majesty, the concubines feel that there are a lot of suspicions, the night is too cold, Concubine Xiao fell into the water again, and then kneeling down is not good for the body, according to the concubine, let Concubine Xiao go back to the palace to change clothes, so that she can rest.
This matter is related to the royal reputation, and it is related to the harem, the emperor can hand over this matter to the concubines to investigate, and the concubines must deal with it impartially and never wronged anyone. The queen took Tang Ningnan's words and said.
"That's it, there's no need to check the matter" Feng Feihan bent down to help the kneeling queen up, and stared sideways at Tang Ningnan in the distance
"Since I have the queen as a guarantee, then I am believing you once, go and change your clothes, what kind of decent." Then, turn and leave.
Tang Ningnan finally breathed a sigh of relief, his tense body softened, and he looked at the queen with a grateful face.
Feng Feihan walked to the door but stopped again, and turned his head to stare at Tang Ningnan meaningfully.
"Su Mingju, someone cleaned her up and sent it to Chaohui Palace."
I'll go, Tang Ningnan scolded in his heart, this emperor really doesn't believe in himself, do you want to torture and ask herself, it's over, it's over, she can suffer so much, she usually has to be uncomfortable for a long time if she accidentally rubs the skin.
"Yes. Minions understand. ”
Tang Ningnan couldn't think about it too much, so he was taken away by the people recruited by Su Mingdu. She had already tried her best, so she simply let them go.
Tang Ningnan was helped by Su Mingju and his party to the side hall next to the Chaohui Palace.
"Niangniang, please wait a moment, the red beads in your palace will come over to freshen up for Niangniang later."
Sure enough, after a while, Hongzhu hurriedly ran in.
"Niangniang, the slave maid can be regarded as finding you, but the slave maid is in a hurry, Niangniang, are you okay, why did you get so dirty." As soon as Hongzhu came in, she cried and cried, and when she saw Concubine Xiao covered in mud, she thought something had happened to her.
"Okay, okay, I'm fine, I'm not okay now, if there's something, call the doctor, it's your turn there." Hey, forget it if you die, it's bitter for the two of them, obviously only in their teens, they followed the original owner into the palace, and even the concubines in this palace are pitiful, let alone being slaves, she died, and these two little girls couldn't live.
"Bizhu, did Bizhu find it?" Tang Ningnan then thought that when he woke up, Bizhu was gone.
"When the slave maid came out of the house after cleaning up for Niangniang today, Sister Bizhu was lying at the gate of our palace, and there were two plates of gold beside her, but she didn't see the master, so the slave maid and the little gardenia were in a hurry, and they looked around Wanshouyuan for a long time." Hongzhu saw that her master was fine, and her mood stabilized.
No, hearing Hongzhu say that Bizhu was placed at the gate of the palace, and the two plates of gold were sent back to Nan intact, Tang Ning felt that things were not so simple, this was not the style of Concubine Hua at all, she has always been ruthless, as long as she hates a person, she will definitely get rid of it quickly, and the people around that person will not be easy either.
Secondly, I have been in the Lama Temple for so long, and I haven't seen Concubine Hua bring people to arrest the adulterer, which shows that it is not a plan designed by Concubine Hua.
At this time, Hongzhu had already prepared things for bathing, and served Tang Ningnan to start bathing.
So who is going to frame her? Is it Yi Concubine? No, Concubine Yi has always been the head of Concubine Hua, and what she does is no different from what Concubine Hua does.
Is it the Queen? Unlikely, the queen has always been quiet and indifferent, gentle and peaceful, just now, she also vouched in the name of the queen to believe that she was framed by someone, why plead if she wants to be framed?
He has no holiday with her, the queen has no reason to attack her, let alone Chen Zhan, he cares about Miao Jiang, and it is impossible to joke about the relationship between Miao Jiang and Daliang in order to frame her.
Could that be...... Tang Ningnan suddenly woke up, and slapped the floating petals on the water surface, causing Hongzhu to ask: "What's wrong with the master, is the water cold, the slave and maid will go and add some hot water." ”
"We are being calculated." Tang Ningnan held down the red bead that was about to add water and spoke.
"Calculated, master, by whom, in the future, slaves and maids will keep an eye on it more."
Tang Ningnan in the water shook his head: "No need, I'll meet him in person later." Her expression was reflected in the water, and she gradually changed from soft to aggressive.
Although Hongzhu was puzzled, she didn't dare to ask more, so she had to scrub her body carefully for the head of her family, and began to make up after bathing.
"Do you still want to make up, just wear a bed coat." Tang Ningnan seems to be ready to be tortured by Feng Feihan to extract a confession later, since he is going to be tortured, why bother with makeup.
