Chapter 12:
When I woke up in the morning, Fu Yuying was no longer by my side.
I've always slept very lightly, but whenever he's by my side, I always feel very relieved, and naturally I sleep a little deeper.
I sat up, turned my head and whispered out of the room, "Magnolia." ”
As I spoke, I lifted the futon and got out of bed, and walked slowly to the dresser.
After Yulan served me to comb my makeup and change my clothes, I took her to the main hall to greet my sister, but when I just walked out of my yard, a little eunuch with a raw face suddenly came and told me that my sister was not feeling well today, and I didn't need to go to greet her.
"Then bother my father-in-law to greet the crown princess on my behalf."
"Nature, nature." He bowed and chuckled, his eyes full of maturity and scheming.
The people around Sister Chang will not have such a powerful character, and the only explanation that can be made is that this person is actually the person next to Concubine Lin.
Judging from all these signs from yesterday to today, they should be about to do it, and now it is imperative that I make up a false testimony myself.
Just as I was about to discuss the matter, she came to see me first.
After returning to the house, I immediately withdrew from the subordinate, and when I was about to open my mouth to talk to her in detail, Yan Hua spoke one step ahead of me: "I found an important matter, which may be used as a bargaining chip for you to contain Concubine Lin." ”
I was a little surprised, and I instantly put the discussion behind me, and hurriedly asked her, "What is it?" ”
"Her mother, the wife of Tobe Shirou, used to kill people."
That's right... I can start with her mother's side, I'm really an elm head, and I just want to start with Tobe Shirou, but I forget that she has other relatives.
I couldn't help but lean forward slightly, took a step closer to her, and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" ”
"Everyone in the capital knows that Lin Shilang only married Lin Fangfei and her mother, but in fact, long before her mother married, Lin Shilang had a very favored room, so at that time, Lin Shilang married her mother, purely because of the fate of her parents, and after marrying, Lin Shilang's mother poisoned the girl's food according to the person she was looking for, and after her death, she disguised her as a violent death and casually threw her into a mass grave."
I was a little puzzled: "Don't you know about Lin Shilang?" ”
Yan Hua hooked the corners of her mouth, smiled lightly, and replied to me: "He knows, and these things are what he told me." ”
This shocked me a lot, it turned out that this couple who were respectful and amiable on the surface were so turbulent in private.
"Concubine Lin's mother is the sister of the late queen, and because of this relationship, Lin Shilang has been swallowing his anger, and he can't even avenge his beloved woman."
I couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
The late queen, her mother's family seems to have long been in decline, thinking about it, if it weren't for her relationship, Lin Ningning's mother would not have been able to marry into the Lin Mansion, and now that the queen is gone, Lin Shilang probably doesn't want to endure it anymore, so he will tell Yanhua about these things, so as to borrow my hand to solve his wife.
"Did he give you any evidence?"
Yan Hua nodded and said to me: "He found someone to examine the body, and it was indeed a death from poisoning, and the corpse is the best evidence, and he also ordered someone to search the entire capital of the pharmacy at that time, and found that the closest person next to his wife had a drug purchase record, he said, if you are willing to expose this matter, he will hand over the evidence together." ”
I'm still a little puzzled, "Now that the queen has passed away, if he goes to the government to complain about it, why must he use the hands of others?" ”
Yan Hua sighed briefly and said to me: "After all, he is a wife, if he does too much, he will be criticized by the world, and he will naturally be cautious if he has learned from Yang Yong's past." ”
"It's a pity that I'm not going to help him with that." I raised my eyebrows and pouted, "If this matter is really solved, I will have no chips in my hand." ”
Yanhua frowned and asked aloud, "What do you mean?" ...”
"I can't take care of the affairs of their Lin Mansion, and I can't take care of it, but in order to thank him for providing me with such important information, I will inform Fu Yuying of this matter, if he is willing to report to the official for his beloved, I will persuade Fu Yuying to intervene in this matter, so that this matter can be done with half the effort."
He can't have both, career and dignity, he can only choose one.
After getting up from the stool, I went straight to Lin Ningning's residence, and Yanhua also got up and followed me.
To be honest, Lin Ningning's courtyard is really deserted, there is not even a guard guarding the door, and the courtyard door is also open at random, and you can see the scene inside at a glance - only a thin maid is sweeping the front yard.
I walked in slowly, and when the maidservant saw me, she quickly stopped what she was doing, and saluted, "Concubine Song is blessed." After speaking, she slowly got up, bowed her head respectfully and asked, "I don't know what is the important matter for Concubine Song to come today?" ”
"Go and call Concubine Lin out."
As soon as my words fell, before the maid turned around and entered the house, Lin Shanning had already opened the curtain in front of the door, smiled, and came to me step by step.
"I don't know if Concubine Song is here today, I missed the distance, please forgive me."
She smiled slightly, her eyebrows moved slightly, and she seemed very kind.
It's just that I've seen her indisputable face a lot, so I don't find it new. Compared to Lin Ningning, my attention was attracted by the little eunuch beside her.
He seems to be the little eunuch who just came to deliver a message to me... Sure enough, he was the person next to Lin Shanning.
"Concubine Lin is serious." I also responded to her with a smile and said softly, "I just don't know if I can be lucky enough to have a chat with Concubine Lin alone?" ”
She hesitated for a moment, still with a faint smile on her face, as if she was thinking to herself.
"Okay." She finally nodded, responded to me briefly, and then said, "Please also ask Concubine Lin to move to my bedroom." ”
I nodded, followed her dignified appearance, and said softly, "Okay." ”
She smiled intriguingly at me, then turned and walked towards the back room, until she reached the bedroom, where she sat on the soft couch, ordered the servants to make a pot of tea, and waved them to leave.
At this point, it was just me and her in the room.
There was a faint fragrance in her room, but it seemed to be different from ordinary spices, and a little more fruity.
Her room is very ordinary, I have not found any particularly valuable furnishings since I came in, the only thing that can get into my eyes is the pile of Qingluo porcelain plates.
"Concubine Song seems to be very interested in my ornaments?" She saw my absent-mindedness, and pointed out with a word: "If you have a favorite, you can take it, but the pair of porcelain plates can't be given to you, they are a pair of porcelain plates given by His Royal Highness when he accepted me as a side concubine." ”
I smiled and replied, "No, I'm just curious." ”
She pushed the teacup on the table in front of me and said slowly: "I only have these teas here, although they are not as good as those in your palace, but they can be used to entertain guests, and they are still barely enough." ”
She still smiled softly, like a spring breeze in March: "I don't know if Concubine Song came here today, what do you want to know about me?" ”
I picked up the tea, tasted it elegantly, and slowly said to her, "Concubine Lin still remembers the Kong case?" ”
"Nature." She smiled slightly, and said: "I remember that Concubine Song participated in the investigation of this matter, but then I heard that it was fruitless, and I don't know what happened today, so what happened?" ”
I glanced at her cuffs lightly and said to her, "Concubine Lin, I remember that you are not from the Xinglin family, so can you explain to me what the few silver needles on your cuffs are used for?" ”
She was not in a hurry, and answered my question very calmly: "It's just a small habit of my own, Concubine Song won't be curious about my hobbies, right?" ”
"Not really." I dismissed her words, and then said, "It's just that the murder weapon that killed Kong's family looks very close to the needle on your cuff." ”
"Oh?" She raised an eyebrow at me and said slowly, "It's fate." ”
I chuckled, tapped lightly on the wooden table, and said to her, "I've heard that Ling's mother once killed someone. ”
Hearing this, her face showed a rare look of surprise, for a long time, she suddenly laughed, and was about to say something to me, when I suddenly spoke up again, interrupting what she was about to say: "I will not continue to play dumb riddles and circles with you, if you are willing to help me, I can treat these things as if I have never heard of them, if you are unwilling, then there is nothing to talk about between me and you." ”
After listening to my words, she didn't panic, she was still patient, sipping the tea in front of her, and bowing her head to think.
I was silent with her for a long time before she suddenly spoke: "You should know, I have no quarrel with the world, and I don't want to get involved in these things." ”
"Kong's death has a lot to do with you." I went on to say to her, "So you must not be able to get out of it all right. ”
"Kong is innocent." This was the first time she had spoken to me in a cold tone, "Everything she has is given by His Highness, but she dares to betray His Highness." ”
"Then your father's concubine, does she also deserve it?" There was a slight dissatisfaction in my voice: "If it weren't for your mother relying on the queen, how could you have the opportunity to do all the evil things?" ”
"I don't argue with you." There was a slight anger on her face, "You can go, you are not welcome here." ”
"Let's go?" I chuckled, "Do you want me to tell the government about your mother's crimes after I leave here?" ”
"You're threatening me?" She chuckled, still with anger on her face: "I really don't like to deal with people like you, delaying my good peace." I only thought it was funny when she said this, "Being in the East Palace, how can you say that you are pure?" I stood up, glanced at her lightly, and said slowly: "I don't embarrass you, if you figure it out, just come and see me." ”
