51 Empress Dowager Hui borrowed a knife to kill the little county lord who accidentally ate poisonous moon cakes
The Empress Dowager's move was clearly to directly take Princess Heyi's life. Under the pretense of Concubine Jing's hands, he achieved his goal without wasting his efforts, and did not hurt himself at all.
borrowed a knife to kill people, so vicious.
Concubine Jing is a coward, and she eats fasting and recites Buddha on weekdays, and when she accidentally sees the palace people killing chickens in the back kitchen, she can be so frightened that she quickly closes her eyes.
Let Concubine Jing harm Princess Heyi, who is pregnant, how can this work? A trace of sweat had already broken out on Concubine Jing's forehead, her eyes were fluttering, and she was restless.
Concubine Jing knelt down tremblingly, kowtowed, and didn't dare to look at Empress Hui's eyes.
"Hui Hou! Human life is at stake, and concubines can't do such a thing. Concubine Jing raised her head and frowned: "Queen Mother, Zhihe is the emperor's biological flesh and blood after all, you are her mother!" ”
Empress Hui was unhurried, raised her voice and pretended to blame: "What kind of life is at stake? What is the flesh and blood of the first emperor, Concubine Jing, what did the mourning family say? Is it just to ask Concubine Jing to deliver a plate of crystal mooncakes? Why? ”
The Queen Mother pretended to be stupid, glanced at the responsibility, and blatantly regarded Concubine Jing as a scapegoat, but although Concubine Jing was weak, she never did that hurtful thing, so she naturally thought about how to shirk Empress Dowager Hui's order.
"The Queen Mother, the concubine is unwell, I'm afraid I can't accept the Niangniang's entrustment, and I ask the Niangniang to forgive the sin......" As soon as Concubine Jing finished speaking, she took the hand of the palace maid who accompanied her and prepared to leave Yuhua Pavilion.
After Concubine Jing got up, Empress Dowager Hui stared at Concubine Jing and said something that made Concubine Jing feel terrified.
"If Concubine Jing is unwilling to send this crystal moon cake to Princess Heyi's mouth, then the mourning family will have no choice but to give this crystal moon cake to Concubine Jing to you......"
Empress Dowager Hui looked at Concubine Jing meaningfully and smiled, and the personal palace maid beside her with a knowing look stuffed the tray filled with crystal moon cakes and poison into the hand of the maid beside Concubine Jing, and the maid had no time to react The tray was already in her hand.
Empress Hui stood up and looked at Concubine Jing at eye level, and pretended to laugh with the palace maid beside her: "Look at it, the mourning family said, how can the crystal moon cakes made by the imperial chef in this palace be wasted like this?" Are you right, Concubine Jing? ”
Concubine Jing frowned and looked helplessly at Empress Hui in front of her.
After so many years, Huihou still hasn't changed at all......
Concubine Jing returned to the palace, looked at the crystal mooncakes on the table, and lost her mind for a while. Empress Dowager Hui is right, when Concubine Ling is there, she likes to tell the small kitchen of Ling'an Hall to make crystal moon cakes for the little princess Zhihe. For many years, Zhihe's favorite is the crystal mooncakes that Concubine Ling often makes.
Concubine Jing had already imagined in her mind countless times when she stepped into the Ling'an Hall and personally delivered this stack of poisonous crystal mooncakes to Princess Heyi, and the princess swallowed the poisonous mooncakes with her longing for Concubine Ling, and then poisoned herself in front of herself.
Concubine Jing felt that she was really sorry for the spirit of the former emperor and Concubine Ling in the sky, and it was too cruel to use this method to deceive Princess Heyi and put Princess Heyi to death.
Concubine Jing's heart was very entangled, so she stared intently at the plate of crystal moon cakes, not knowing what to do. Concubine Jing's most favored palace maid Yueyu knew in her heart that Concubine Jing was in a catastrophe this time, and she had to go, and she had to go if she didn't go.
If you disobey the order of the Queen Mother, you will be given death by the Empress Hui unknowingly. If you send that plate of crystal mooncakes to the Ling'an Palace, it will make the master of the Ling'an Palace die twice.
But no matter how many people's lives are involved, Yueyu hopes that her master, Concubine Jing, can get out of the way, so Yuerise gives Concubine Jing an idea.
"Niangniang, the Queen Mother asked you to send crystal moon cakes, but no one said that this moon cake can only pass through the hands of Niangniang alone, if the crystal moon cake passes through the hands of other people, Niangniang's suspicion can be eliminated by half, as for the current affairs, only let the palace maid who handled the moon cakes make a scapegoat."
Concubine Jing thought about it in her heart, this is indeed the best way to get out at the moment, but Concubine Jing has always been soft-hearted, even so, it was herself who killed Princess Yi, and Concubine Jing was still a little ruthless.
The palace maid Yuesheng knew that Concubine Jing was soft-hearted and didn't dare to do it, but if she didn't do it, Niangniang's own life would be lost, and Yuesheng was a little anxious.
"Niangniang, don't hesitate, the person who wants to harm Princess Heyi is the Queen Mother, even if Princess Heyi is dead, it has nothing to do with you, the most important thing at the moment is to quickly throw this hot potato out."
Yueyu took the plate of crystal moon cakes, got ready, and went to the Ling'an Hall with Concubine Jing. Yuesheng thought through in her heart, if she really blamed Niangniang's head at that time, she would stand up for Niangniang's guilt.
When they arrived at the Ling'an Palace, Concubine Jing and Yuesheng found that the palace people in the Ling'an Hall were really diligent, pruning the branches, scrubbing the stone road, and there were also many palace maids running around flexibly with brooms. The eyes of the rising moon roamed over the palace maids and eunuchs who were working outside the Ling'an Palace, carefully looking for the palace maids who looked simple and kind.
In the end, his eyes were locked on a palace maid with a fair complexion and pure eyes.
When everyone saw Concubine Jing come in, they saluted one after another. And Concubine Jing, who was expected by the moon, walked in front of the immature little palace maid.
"Look at this time, Princess Heyi should be resting in the dormitory, and the mourning family will not go in to disturb it, and the moon will rise." Concubine Jing motioned to Yueli to hand over the plate of crystal mooncakes to the immature little palace maid.
The little palace maid stretched out her hand to catch it, and the moonrise explained: "Niangniang knows that Princess Heyi loves to eat crystal moon cakes, so she specially sent the imperial kitchen to make them, remember to bring them into the dormitory to Princess Heyi, so as not to disappoint the kindness of the concubine Niangniang." ”
"Got it, sister." The little palace maid turned her back and sent the plate of moon cakes to the dormitory and put it on the table in the dormitory. The luster of the crystal mooncake looks particularly crystal clear under the soft sunlight.
Even this immature little palace maid took a few more glances at this pastry.
King Changnan and the little lord of Shujue have been fighting in the palace for three days and three nights, the king of Changnan taught the little lord very strictly, although the qualifications of the little lord are not very good, but the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting taught by the emperor Ziwei are no less than the ordinary ladies, but the king of Changnan just asked the little lord to follow Mama Xu to learn some strange and unpopular crafts.
What is incense, flower arrangement, tea ceremony, worship of Buddha...... The little county lord is not interested in this, and Mama Xu is a well-known strict teacher, so the little county lord Shujue does not want to escape from the palace all the time.
Aunt Zhihe was pregnant and lived in the Ling'an Hall of the palace to raise a baby, and the little county lord was ordered to return to the house by the emperor Ziwei since the last time he saw Aunt Zhihe. He didn't have the heart to stay in the palace at all, not to mention, Huangfu Ziwei disliked his daughter Shujue's growing figure, and completely adjusted the food in the palace to a light vegetarian diet.
The princess has always disliked big fish and meat, and she doesn't think there is anything, but she is worried that her stupid daughter Shujue can still stand it if she eats so lightly? Princess Changnan didn't want her daughter to stay in the palace and suffer, so the princess gave her daughter Shujue a sloppy look, so the little princess of Shujue relied on her mother as a backing and sneaked into the palace behind her back.
When the little county lord Shujue came, Aunt Zhihe was still sleeping, so the little county lord tiptoed into the dormitory, and the palace maids saw the little county lord, and just about to pay their respects, they were stopped by the little county lord's fingers on the side of his mouth.
Entering the dormitory and sitting in front of the desk, Aunt Rong saw that the person who came was the little county lord, and knew that the little county lord didn't like to eat bitter things, so she withdrew the tea, and asked someone to pour a full cup of goat milk tea from the small kitchen and hand it to the little county lord.
Shu Jue took a sip of goat milk tea, squinted her eyes comfortably, and then put down the tea bottle, and her eyes fell on the stack of pastries.
Crystal clear, three pieces of pastry are placed there like crystals, crystal clear can see the inside of the pastry, is soft and glutinous bean paste, only the best bean paste filling will show such a purple red color.
Shu Jue was stunned, almost seeing through this plate of pastries.
Such a delicate and delicate pastry, you can bite into it......
Thinking about it, Shu Jue's saliva is about to stay, but Aunt Zhihe has not woken up yet, and she can act recklessly in the palace, but in the palace, the little princess Shu Jue is still very well-behaved. Without the consent of Aunt Zhihe, how can you casually move the things of the Spirit Temple.
The little county lord tried his best to restrain his coveting of this plate of pastries, and obediently sat by the desk drinking goat's milk tea.
The inner hall heard the voice of Suosuo, it should be Aunt Zhihe woke up, a row of palace maids rushed in, changing clothes and washing for Princess Heyi, when she was dressed, Aunt Cui told Princess Heyi that the little lord of Changnan Palace, Shujue, was here.
Princess Heyi's expression was extremely happy, and regardless of the fact that the clothes on her body were not completely dressed, she opened the curtain with an inner lining, and saw the little lord Shujue sitting there obediently, and the smile on her face couldn't be hidden.
"Shujue, I miss my aunt to death."
Princess Heyi was pregnant, so it was inconvenient for her to come forward and be intimate with the little princess, but her eyes were unusually bright, as if a light had shone in.
Shu Jue was also happy to see her aunt, the eyes of the two of them generally fell on the pastries on the case, and Princess Yi saw this plate of crystal moon cakes, and the longing for Concubine Ling spontaneously arose.
"Aunt Rong, who sent this plate of pastries?"
Aunt Rong replied: "Back to Your Highness, this pastry was sent in by the palace maid Qingling, and it was said that it was sent by Concubine Jing." ”
Princess Heyi knew Concubine Jing, she grew up in the palace since she was a child, and she knew that this Concubine Jing was the most gentle and kind person among the concubines of the former emperor, and she was not wary of this plate of pastries at all.
Princess Heyi looked at the greedy little county lord again, she couldn't love pity and spoil her, even if the crystal moon cake was her favorite pastry, she still handed this plate of crystal moon cake to the little county lord first.
Shu Jue saw that her aunt handed this plate of pastries to her first, and she was a little embarrassed, and Princess Yi smiled dotingly at Shu Jue's little county lord: "Eat, my aunt is happy when she sees you eat." ”
Shu Jue has coveted this plate of pastries for a long time, and she has been swallowing saliva since she entered the door.
Gently pinched the soft and elastic pastry, sent it to his mouth, took a small bite and wrapped it in his mouth, and the pink little lips moved, looking very cute and cute. Princess Heyi looked at Shujue's "giggle" and felt that the little princess was very cute.
Shujue chewed the crystal moon cake hard, and the red bean paste in the moon cake burst out in her mouth, sweet but not greasy, smooth and refreshing. Slippery, the skin of the moon cake is even more elastic and refreshing, Shujue is almost intoxicated, and she has never been able to eat such delicious pastries in Changnan Palace.
The little county lord Shujue was almost happy, and Princess Heyi was also greedy for the little princess eating crystal moon cakes. I also picked up a crystal mooncake from that plate and was about to send it to my mouth.
