Chapter Eighty-Nine: Showing the Horse's Feet
"Yes, I also heard that when the concubine Niangniang was just pregnant with the eldest princess, the cat raised in the palace didn't know who was disemboweled, in my opinion, it wasn't who did it, it was the concubine Niangniang's ominous trouble."
"Perhaps, even the princess's death is related to herself, and she blames Concubine Hua Niangniang, if it is really related to Concubine Hua Niangniang, why doesn't the emperor punish her? Concubine Hua Niangniang was also demoted because of this, which is really unlucky. ”
"Miao Jiang likes to engage in Gu poison when she hears it, I think ah, she is good at this kind of trick to bewitch the emperor's heart."
These concubines are the most favored because of Tang Ningnan, and they hate her on weekdays, and once they have a gimmick, the part of the people with long tongues will talk about you and me.
But there are still people who can see things clearly and do not join it, after all, since Tang Ningnan began to assist the queen and assistant to the sixth palace, he has handled things very fairly, and he has managed the harem in an orderly manner, which has been supported by some people.
Especially those concubines who have been oppressed because they have been unfavored all year round, Tang Ningnan took care of their feelings very carefully, and ordered the general secretary to give each concubine their due share and treatment according to their original position, which is something that never happened when Hua Concubine was in charge of the Sixth Palace.
But everyone was already in a riot because of Song Jieyu's words, and seeing that it was so noisy outside the light veil, Feng Feihan motioned to cry and take a look.
When the weeper came out of the light veil, everyone stopped discussing and did not dare to speak.
"What were you little masters talking about?" Sob Lu asked sharply.
"It's nothing, we're just delaying the safety of the queen." Song Jieyu hurriedly laughed.
"Does Song Jieyu think that the old slave is deaf? Imperial Physician Pu has already explained that the queen is fine, and what Song Jieyu just discussed seems to be Xiao Guifei's mother. Crying Lu asked rhetorically, forcing Song Jieyu to ask not knowing how to answer.
Tang Ningnan saw the embarrassment on the queen's face, and said to Feng Feihan: "The queen mother is fine now, there is no need for the concubines to serve the sick, there will inevitably be noise when there are many people, the emperor will let the sisters go back to their respective palaces first, and when the queen mother is rested, he will naturally summon them to see him." ”
Feng Feihan nodded in agreement, and then walked out of the dormitory.
Tang Huanrong, who was lying on the bed, cast a grateful look at Tang Ningnan, and Tang Ningnan responded to her with a smile and squinted eyes.
When the concubines saw Feng Feihan coming out, they knelt down and saluted, Feng Feihan opened her mouth to ask why Cry Lu was so noisy, and Cry Lu answered truthfully that the little lord seemed to be talking about Xiao Guifei.
Gazing back and forth at the people kneeling in front of him with his long narrow eyes, Feng Feihan's gaze stayed on the trembling jade beauty.
"You come on." Feng Feihan pointed at her.
Yu Meiren has always been timid and afraid, and casually revealed what they had just discussed, of course, she also avoided the important and light, and put all the responsibility on Song Jieyu, Song Jieyu's face was green on the side, and her nails were deeply embedded in the carpet under her knees.
Feng Feihan is so shrewd, can he not see the careful thoughts in this jade beauty's words? It's just that the law doesn't blame the public, Song Jieyu really likes to catch the wind and catch shadows, and he doesn't break it, he looks at Song Jieyu expressionlessly, and said coldly: "Twenty palms, go and get the punishment yourself." ”
Then let the people in the palace retreat, give the queen a quiet environment to recuperate, and he also returned to Rixi Hall, leaving Tang Ningnan alone to accompany the queen.
Tang Ningnan felt strange, it stands to reason that the concubines would also come to visit the queen mother with all the concubines, but they didn't see her through the gap in the light veil.
"Something is probably delaying." The queen spoke.
But what could be going on in the palace, Tang Ningnan came in when he was puzzled.
It turned out that after hearing that the queen fell and injured herself because of the madness of the horse, the concubine immediately went to the stable to check the situation, so she did not come to visit the queen in the evening academy for the first time.
Sure enough, the concubine found a clue in the stable, who was worthy of what horse had been determined yesterday, the horse that Tang Ningnan rode was fed hallucinatory forage early in the morning, and there were still some residues left in the stable.
Tang Ningnan asked why Concubine Zhen was so familiar, Concubine Zhen just smiled bitterly, saying that it was just some old things, and she had recognized this kind of forage by chance.
From the concubine's expression, Tang Ningnan read that the matter was definitely not as simple as she said, but seeing that she didn't want to mention it, it was not good for Wang Shen to ask.
As soon as Hua Concubine and his party walked out of the Evening Jin Academy, they saw that Liang Guozhong was going to Rixi Hall to find Feng Feihan, and when they inquired, they found out that Sima Zhaohua had found the horse on the mountain, and they wanted Feng Feihan to decide what to do.
Concubine Hua immediately became alert and felt that things were not good, and wanted Bai Shao to find Sima Zhaohua, but Concubine Yi persuaded Concubine Hua that it would be too refreshing to find General Sima at this time.
But Concubine Hua still couldn't rest assured after thinking about it, so she let Bai Shao run away and found Sima Zhaohua, who was watching the horse in the stable.
"Niangniang is looking for the last general to come over and do something at this time, the last general still has a task to do."
Bai Shao excused that Concubine Hua had something to do, and led Sima Zhaohua to a hidden place to meet Concubine Hua.
"Zhaohua, can you think of a way to dispose of that horse for my sister."
Sima Zhaohua looked puzzled, why did he dispose of this horse, this was probably evidence that someone else framed Xiao Guifei.
"Don't ask so much, just dispose of it for me."
Seeing that Concubine Hua was so anxious, Sima Zhaohua also guessed one or two, and opened his mouth to smell: "Niangniang, isn't it your hand on the concubine?" ”
Concubine Hua did not answer positively, but repeatedly begged Sima Zhaohua not to let the emperor's people see the horse.
Sima Zhaohua disagreed, Concubine Hua was anxious, looked at Sima Zhaohua and said, "Zhaohua, I'm still your sister, isn't it?" ”
Sima Zhaohua's face showed embarrassment, "Yes, but how can a younger brother watch his sister do something wrong and not stop it." ”
Concubine Hua took his hand, almost pleadingly: "Zhaohua, my sister only made a move on her when she was confused, didn't she have a heart, isn't it okay for the queen and her now?" You let that horse go, and it was an accident, okay? ”
But Sima Zhaohua still didn't let go, and Concubine Hua said again: "Do you want to watch your sister be rejected by the emperor in the palace and finally die of old age and cold palace?" ”
Sima Zhaohua thought for a while, and said that as long as Concubine Hua promised him not to have bad intentions in the future, he would help other concubines in the palace.
Hearing him say this, where could Concubine Hua care about what conditions he said, she blindly nodded in agreement, but in fact, she didn't listen to the conditions he said in her heart at all.
Do you want her to stop Tang Ningnan? Joke! With her for a day, it will not make Tang Ningnan and the people around him happy.
After Sima Zhaohua agreed, Concubine Hua immediately left, saying that it was not good for others to meet them in secret.
Sima Zhaohua looked at the back of Concubine Hua leaving, and let out a long sigh, this sister of hers is really getting more and more arrogant.
The ink fox emperor who shot it was handed over to her to deal with herself, and she originally wanted to make a raccoon skin for his sister to wear in winter, but now it seems that Sima Zhaohua doesn't want to give it to her so much.
He now hopes that his sister can be more restrained in the palace, she killed the eldest princess a few days ago, if she still makes waves, it will be a matter of time before she is rejected by the emperor, and even if he can speak for her in front of the emperor at that time, what can he do? It's just to accelerate the emperor's distrust of the Sima family.
When he returned to the stable, Sima Zhaohua loosened the reins for the horse, and the stable was close to the mountain forest, and as soon as the reins were loosened, the horse ran into the mountains and disappeared without a trace.
Bai Shao watched Sima Zhaohua's movements in the dark, and then went back to report to Concubine Hua with confidence.
"In General Sima's heart, there is still a mother for you." Bai Shao said.
Concubine Hua was still displeased, "If he really takes me to heart, he won't even be willing to speak for me." ”
Bai Shao knew that Concubine Hua was talking about the banquet held by the emperor last time, and Sima Zhaohua was invited to return triumphantly, but Sima Zhaohua didn't have the slightest intention of interceding for her in prison, so she didn't dare to say anything more.
For lunch, Feng Feihan still went to Tang Ningnan's Nu Garden.
Tang Ningnan said that the queen was already very guilty because of her injury, why did the emperor not accompany the queen but came to her, Feng Feihan replied: "I saw that the queen slept soundly, and I couldn't bear to disturb her, so I came to you, why are you unhappy?" ”
In fact, Tang Ningnan was not unhappy, but he felt sorry for the queen, if it wasn't for Sima Zhaohua to rescue him today, the queen would have been thrown off the back of a one-person-high horse, and she might have been seriously injured if she didn't lose her life.
However, except for the problem with the forage found by the concubine, nothing can be found if it continues, and the horse should also be taken care of by Sima Zhaohua, and it is not good to run away again.
Feng Feihan only disposed of the stables who fed the horses, and as for Sima Zhaohua, he remembered that he had a meritorious role in saving the queen, so he did not delve into the matter of the loss of the horses again.
The matter was directed at Tang Ningnan, so Feng Feihan asked Sima Zhaohua to add some more manpower to see and guard Nu Garden.
Good guy, he obviously followed to protect the emperor, but he didn't want to really need to protect this concubine.
Feng Feihan saw that Tang Ningnan didn't answer his question, as if she was a little stunned, and stretched out her hand and shook it in front of her eyes.
"Didn't you say you had something for me? You don't want to regret it now, do you? ”
It turned out that the emperor was thinking about this in his heart, Tang Ningnan smiled, and asked Bizhu to go in and get it, Bizhu took out a sachet from under the pillow and put it in Tang Ningnan's hand, Tang Ningnan shyly pushed it in front of Feng Feihan, and there was a lotus flower embroidered on it.
The sachet was not a precious object, and the concubines in the harem did not embroider the sachet for Feng Feihan in order to compete for favor, but he couldn't see it.
Tang Ningnan was not good at embroidery, the embroidery last time was still a dress made for Mifei, she could embroider a purse for herself, Feng Feihan was naturally very happy, and immediately took it, hung it on her waist, and repeatedly showed it to Tang Ningnan, asking her if she looked good.
Tang Ningnan only thought that Feng Feihan was very interesting, this was a sachet she embroidered herself, of course she thought it looked good.
