Chapter 244: Seeking Skin with the Tiger
Bai Ling also showed a surprised expression after hearing this, and then knelt down to the emperor with tears in his eyes and said, "Your Majesty, you have to be the master of my family!" My mother must be wronged, if the mother wants to harm Concubine Ying, it is reasonable, but there is no need to harm her own children together! ”
Lamei watched Bailing cry as if she were real, and admired her ability a little.
After listening to Bai Ling's words, the emperor ordered a thorough investigation into the matter. At this time, Bai Ling looked at the emperor as if he remembered something and said, "Your Majesty, the slave and maid remembered something. ”
"Say it quickly." The Emperor was clearly running out of patience.
"The slave maid once said to Concubine Rou that Niangniang did not sleep well, and this spice was recommended by Concubine Rou to the slave maid!" Bai Ling pointed at Xu Rouxi and said.
Xu Rouxi didn't seem to expect that the spearhead would be pointed at herself, she didn't know about the spice at all, so she knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, the concubine is wronged!" The concubine had never heard of any spices, nor had she recommended spices to Concubine Rong. ”
These two events happened too suddenly, and the emperor's trust in the Xu family sisters was gone. So he coldly ordered: "Go and search the bedrooms of Concubine Rou and Concubine Ran, and don't let go of every place." ”
Xu Rouxi and Xu Pianran both knelt on the ground, one trembling with fear, and the other straightened his back. They all knew that today was their own time of death, and that the musky spice was indeed their work.
They originally thought that this spearhead would not be pointed at themselves, but at Jiang Wanruo to give them a chance to breathe. Unexpectedly, Xu Pianran looked at Yingying coldly, she had underestimated this woman before.
She originally thought that Yingying was just close to Zhang Hanxi's waste, but she didn't know when she got involved with Jiang Wanruo. The last straw that broke the camel's back was put by the woman herself.
After a while, the guards reported that they had indeed found a spice containing musk in Concubine Rou's bedroom, and Concubine Ran's bedroom had found a so-called witch doll, with the name Jiang Wanruo on it.
Yingying was also startled when she heard the witch doll, but she was very calm on the surface. It seems that if this Jiang Wan is really not a fuel-efficient lamp, this time she must put the Xu family sisters to death.
Because of these two things, the emperor no longer hesitated. He glared at the Xu family sisters and said, "The Xu family sisters plotted to kill the emperor's heir, and the crime is unforgivable. cut off the position, and both of them entered the cold palace. ”
They should have been executed, but in the end they couldn't bear it. Seeing Xu Pianran's face like ashes, Xu Rouxi was crying and crying, he turned his head and stopped looking.
When passing by Yingying's side, Xu Pianran said: "Seeking skin with the tiger, you are really not afraid of ending up with no bones left." The voice was so soft that only the two of them could hear it.
Yingying looked at her with a calm face and said, "I wasn't ready to live. ”
seemed to be surprised by Yingying's free and easy, Xu Pianran suddenly admired her. She smiled and said, "I underestimated you. ”
Seeing the Xu sisters being taken away, Yingying's expression was calm. She thought to herself, it was time to uproot the Xu family. The emperor asked everyone to go back to his bedroom, and he went to the inner room to see Jiang Wanruo.
Back in the Hanlu Palace, Yingying leaned on the soft couch, very tired. She touched her stomach and said, "Child, the next road will be more and more difficult to walk, and my mother is very scared." ”
Lamei seemed to see her tiredness and brought her a blanket to cover her. Yingying smiled at Lamei Rourou and said, "It's okay, I can't die, I will definitely give birth to this child safely." ”
"Niangniang Bodhisattva heart, there must be good people with good rewards, and this child will definitely be safe." Lamei is comforting the warbler, and she is also comforting herself.
Who expected Yingying to smile: "Bodhisattva's heart? I just killed two people today! ”
Lamei wanted to comfort herself, but Yingying said to herself: "But I have no way, it is difficult to keep this child by relying on my own strength." You have also seen Jiang Wanruo's methods, this woman is definitely not simple. It was a risky move for us to work with her, and this child was the biggest bargaining chip. ”
"Niangniang, or you find a way to get out of the palace!" Lamei looked at her with some distress and said.
Yingying shook her head and said, "If you can't get out, even if you want to go out, it's not now." As long as this child can get out safely, as for myself, I have my own plans. ”
Lamei looked at the firmness in her eyes and knew that she couldn't persuade her. can only stay by her side according to Wen Zhili's instructions and protect her. She believes that with the ability to be gentle and polite, there must be a way to successfully bring the mother and son out.
The murder of the imperial heir by the sisters of the Xu family also caused an uproar in the court. The next morning, Xu Jingzhi's face was extremely ugly, and the other ministers were pointing at the side.
Wen Zhili's rare good mood today, Liu Moxing was a little curious. As soon as he exchanged a few words with Zhen Xueyi, Liu Moxing leaned over and asked, "When did Master Wen have such a good relationship with the students of the university scholars?" ”
"Lord Liu really cares about Wen's affairs." Wen Zhili had a smile on his face.
Liu Moxing laughed and said, "I have been an official in the same dynasty as Lord Wen for many years, so I naturally have to care a lot. Besides, if there is anything good about Lord Wen, Liu also wants to get a piece of the pie! ”
"Lord Liu laughed, Wen doesn't have Lord Liu's ability, and he still wants to get a piece of the pie from Lord Liu." Wen Zhili's smile did not diminish.
At this time, a eunuch came out and announced that the ministers had entered the palace and went to court. Before lining up in two columns, Liu Moxing said: "I'm really looking forward to today's scene, and I hope that Lord Wen won't disappoint Liu." ”
After saying that, he immediately walked to the front of the queue on the right, and his eyes flashed with anticipation. Wen Zhili stood at the front of the line on the left, still with a gentle smile.
All the ministers stood under His Royal Highness and waited for the emperor's court, kneeling down to say goodbye. After the emperor finished speaking, the ministers got up. The Emperor looked at these people below with some weariness.
After all, so much happened yesterday, and he was really tired. glanced at Xu Jing, a little helpless, but he didn't say anything.
