72: Birthday Gift
The queen froze in place, staring blankly, she couldn't believe what she had seen! I saw that on the bed, a man and a woman, disheveled, were getting dressed in a panic, the woman was none other than Princess Yuanjing, and the man was the guard who fell into his arms yesterday Qiuyue.
"Bold!" The queen was furious.
Suddenly, the atmosphere in the room suddenly condensed, and Qi Guifei was silent, her face extremely pale.
Princess Yuanjing was panicked when she saw that everyone had broken in, her face was snow-white, and the guard was immediately frightened when she saw that it was the queen.
The look of triumph in Shen Lanxin's eyes flashed, and he pretended to be extremely surprised: "Yuan Jing, what are you doing?" ”
The two hurriedly knelt in front of the queen and cried out one after another.
"Queen Mother, I'm ...... I......! Princess Yuanjing looked innocent, and she still didn't know how it could have become like this, she really didn't know how to speak.
The queen's expression was surprised: "The world is declining, and it is a shame for the royal family." Looking at Concubine Qi again, she was also angry, "Concubine Qi, your daughter has done such an immoral thing, don't you have anything to say?" ”
Concubine Qi didn't know what to say at the moment.
Princess Yuanjing cried bitterly: "I didn't, Queen Mother, I don't know what happened, Queen Mother, I was wronged." "Speaking of this, Princess Yuanjing gave Hongdou a slap with a snap,, you don't know if anyone enters my room, did you mean it?"
Hongdou covered her face, looked at her innocently, and tears flowed down, "Princess, you wronged the slave, the slave didn't see anyone enter your room!" ”
What she meant by this was that the guard had sneaked into the princess's room and had not entered through the door, and in fact Red Bean had suddenly heard something during the vigil, so she had left halfway, but she wouldn't say it, otherwise all the blame would have fallen on her alone.
Princess Yuan Jing trembled angrily, "You are still quibbling, yesterday was your vigil, how could someone come in the room if it wasn't for you and me?" ”
Hongdou lowered her head, not daring to look up at Princess Yuanjing, "The slave is really wronged." ”
When the queen saw that the two of you were talking to me, she scolded impatiently: "That's enough." ”
Princess Yuanjing was just about to say something to Hongdou when she heard the queen stop drinking, so she looked directly at the queen and said with an innocent face: "Queen Mother, I don't." He looked at Concubine Qi again, "Mother, you believe me." ”
Seeing this scene, the guests couldn't help whispering, the princess actually had an affair with the guards, sure enough, this meeting was really amazing, the princess Yunying was not married, she did such a bad thing, it was really shameless, Qi Guifei heard those words, and her heart was extremely angry, such a thing happened, the banquet could not go on, and then the queen ordered all the guests to be dismissed back.
The room was silent, and the guards were so frightened that they broke out in a cold sweat.
Of course, Concubine Qi didn't believe that Princess Yuan Jing would do such an immoral thing, and it happened on her birthday, someone must have deliberately harmed her, thinking of this, she couldn't help but glance at Shen Lanxin, her face was very calm, and she couldn't see anything unusual, which couldn't help but make her even more suspicious.
"Queen Mother, although Yuan Jing's temperament is a little arrogant, she is not going to do such a reluctance with the people in her palace, and today is still her birthday, even if she has no brains, how could she choose to have an accident today, so this matter must have been fueled by someone and deliberately framed."
"Deliberately framed?" The queen's eyes couldn't help flashing a hint of strangeness, who in the palace didn't know that Yuan Xin and Yuan Jing had a holiday, Qi Guifei said this, clearly referring to Yuan Xin framing Yuan Jing. ”
Qi Guifei said: "That's right, if this matter is not voluntary, someone is using aphrodisiac things to force the two to have a relationship. ”
The prince quietly observed Shen Lanxin, knowing that this matter was related to her, and a trace of worry flashed in his eyes, for fear that Qi Guifei would find out some flaws.
At this time, Yuan Jing burst into tears, feeling that she had been greatly insulted, "Yes, Queen Mother, I was wronged, how could I have fornicated with the guards in my palace." Speaking of this, Princess Yuanjing suddenly thought of something, and looked at Shen Lanxin suddenly, "It's you, it's you who framed me!" I said, "How can you be so kind to give me a gift?" ”
Hearing this, everyone's eyes turned to Shen Lanxin.
As soon as Princess Yuanli saw everyone looking at her sister, she couldn't help but step forward and say something for her sister: "How could my sister frame you, don't talk nonsense." ”
Shen Lanxin pulled Princess Yuanli back, and said calmly: "Yuanjing, what are you talking about, I kindly gave you a gift, how can you wronged me?" ”
Qi Guifei's eyes flashed, as if she thought of something, and asked in surprise: "What gift?" ”
Princess Yuanjing hurriedly said: "It's the water jade ball, it's at the head of my bed, it must be what she has done to make me insane, mother, you must be the master for me." ”
The queen's heart tightened and she glanced at Shen Lanxin.
Shen Lanxin said with a faint expression: "Yuan Jing, don't talk nonsense without evidence, the water jade ball is something given to me by my father, it is a divine object, how can I do anything on it." ”
Qi Guifei was sure that it must be Li Yuanxin who did something in Yuan Jing's room that would make her insane, especially the water jade ball, if she found out that Li Yuanxin did it, in front of the queen, even if she didn't die, the emperor knew about it, and the queen's status was also in jeopardy.
Thinking of this, Concubine Qi said: "Queen Mother, in order to restore Yuan Jing's innocence, the concubine must thoroughly investigate this matter." ”
When Shen Lan heard this, he also agreed with Qi Guifei, "What Qi Guifei said is right, I kindly gave Yuan Jing a gift, but I was wronged by her like this, and I am also very wronged, so Niang Niang must investigate this matter thoroughly, not only to return Yuan Jing's innocence, but also to give me justice." ”
The queen glanced at Shen Lanxin, who had an extremely calm expression next to her, and knew that this matter would not implicate her, so she said, "Since this is the case, then we must investigate it carefully." ”
Then Qi Guifei shouted: "Come here, pass on the imperial doctor." ”
Soon, the imperial doctor followed the palace maid and hurried to the Xinyang Palace.
Concubine Qi Guifei instructed the imperial doctor to inspect the entire house, and she didn't even let go of the flowers in the room and the paintings on the wall, especially the water jade ball was the most suspicious, and the imperial doctor carefully examined it for half an hour.
Finally, he came to the queen and said, "Queen Mother, there is no aphrodisiac in this house. ”
"No?" Impossible, this is impossible, Qi Guifei looked at Shen Lanxin fiercely.
Shen Lan said lightly: "Niangniang, I have said everything, I am wronged." ”
Qi Guifei's face was pale, she stared at her coldly, her intuition told her that this matter must have something to do with her, but why was there no flaw at all? It's incredible.
Princess Yuanjing's eyes widened, and she said incredulously, "Impossible, how can there be no fascination incense, there is obviously something wrong with this water jade ball." ”
Shen Lan sneered in his heart, and said lightly on the surface: "Yuan Jing, if you are found to have done such an unethical thing, you will be wronged on me?" ”
Princess Yuanjing couldn't wait to go up and tear her mouth, "You are talking nonsense, I am innocent." ”
Shen Lanxin made a helpless expression and said, "Innocent? We can see it all in these eyes. ”
Princess Yuanjing's eyes swept in front of everyone one by one, seeing that all the people were looking at her with a look of disdain, when her eyes were fixed on Qi Guifei's face, she suddenly said: "Mother concubine, I really don't, you save me, it's him, it's this dog minion, sneaking into my room and plotting against me." ”
Princess Yuanjing saw that she couldn't slander Shen Lan, so she began to exonerate the guards.
The guard bent his knees on the ground and shouted, "The lowly duty is wronged, the lowly duty did not sneak into the princess's room, please ask the queen to find out." ”
The queen spoke: "You are crying out for injustice, so you can tell me what happened at that time?" ”
The guard tried his best to defend himself, "That night, I heard that there seemed to be a sound in the direction of the princess's bedroom, so I went to investigate, but I didn't expect the door of the princess's room to be open, and the princess thought that the princess was attacked, so he rushed in, but was hugged by the princess, and then ...... Afterward.......
Princess Yuanjing's face changed, "You are talking nonsense, I don't." ”
The guard said in fear: "What the humble man said is true. ”
The queen asked, "What about the other guard at that time?" ”
The guard said, "The other one had a bad stomach yesterday morning, so he has been guarded by a lowly person. ”
The queen didn't say anything, but looked at Concubine Qi.
At this time, Qi Guifei's eyes flashed, and then she said: "Hongdou, didn't you say that you didn't see anyone enter the princess's room?" Why did he say the door was open? ”
When Hongdou heard this, he hurriedly said, "The slave maid really didn't see anyone go in."
The guard was not ambiguous, and immediately said, "You didn't see it, because when I went in, you didn't keep vigil there at all, otherwise how would I have entered?" ”
"Me? ......" Red Bean was speechless.
Qi Guifei was still thinking about how to save Yuan Jing in her mind before, and when she saw that things had taken a turn for the better, she said appropriately: "Bold and cheap, did you deliberately let people in to harm the princess?" ”
When the queen heard this, she said incredulously: "Hongdou, you are Yuan Jing's maidservant, why are you doing this?" ”
Hongdou was so frightened that she lay on the ground, "The slave and maid are wronged, the slave and maid did not let anyone into the princess's bedroom, and asked the queen to investigate." ”
Shen Lan watched coldly, since they took red beans to blame, it was better to push the boat smoothly.
She said lightly: "I heard that when Yuan Jing is in a bad mood, she often takes out anger on you and abuses her private deeds against you, but you can't take revenge on the princess just because of this." Shen Lan pushed Princess Yuanjing to the cusp without a trace.
The queen was surprised: "Abuse of private practice? ”
Princess Yuanjing's face changed, she subconsciously looked at Qi Guifei, and saw that Qi Guifei's face was extremely ugly.
Hongdou retorted: "You are talking nonsense, I didn't. ”
Shen Lanxin sneered: "I'm talking nonsense? Are you saying that Princess Yuanjing whipped you with a whip and pricked you with a needle, these are all nonsense from me? ”
When the queen heard this, she hurriedly said, "What needle, what whip?" ”
When Princess Yuanjing heard this, her heart became empty, but she shouted, "I don't." ”
At this time, Shen Lanxin dragged Qiu Yue over and rolled up her sleeves in front of the queen, "Queen Mother, look." ”
The queen glanced at it, and the long black marks and the scabbed needle eyes were numb.
Shen Lan said coldly: "That's why I suddenly broke into the Xinyang Hall some time ago, if I had been late at that time, I'm afraid Qiu Yue would have died a long time ago." ”
Everyone couldn't help sighing, and the queen was even more furious.
But Concubine Qi didn't think so, she said: "Qiu Yue is the maid of Princess Yuanxin, and Yuanxin can also punish her if she does something wrong, and what evidence is there to prove that this injury is from Yuan Jing's hand?" ”
At this time, the prince glanced at Jiang Yuan, and Jiang Yuan's voice came from behind him.
"So this rumor is true?" He added a fire without a trace.
The queen looked at Jiang Yuan and said with a look of surprise: "You also know about Princess Yuanjing's abuse of private deeds?" ”
Jiang Yuan said casually, "I also heard about it, but once I saw Yuan Jing slapping a palace maid frantically, and the palace maid's face was swollen like a bun." He used the word "crazy", which showed the ruthlessness of Princess Yuanjing.
Concubine Qi glanced at Jiang Yuan angrily, and couldn't help but be angry, it seems that they are all colluding and want to put Yuan Jing to death.
"I didn't." Princess Yuanjing didn't admit it, but it was obvious that others didn't believe her.
In fact, the prince thinks that this fire will be more prosperous if Jiang Yuan adds it, after all, he is outside the palace, and once Princess Yuanjing's notoriety spreads outside the palace, you can imagine how bad it is.
The queen's expression sank, and she said angrily: "As a princess, she doesn't lead by example, but she is ruthless, and she treats the palace people so harshly, she really has no mercy." ”
Jiang Yuan sighed lightly: "So, it's no wonder that the palace maids will wait for an opportunity to take revenge on her." ”
"I didn't take revenge on the princess." Red Beans still didn't admit it.
Shen Lanxin sneered, "Princess Yuanjing treats you so much, I don't believe that you don't hate her at all." ”
"I ......," Azuki shook his head repeatedly.
As for whether Hongdou really hates Princess Yuanjing, in Shen Lanxin's opinion, it doesn't matter anymore, the important thing is that everyone now thinks that Hongdou is the initiator.
The queen glanced at Concubine Qi and said lightly: "Concubine Qi, this matter is now clear, what do you think should be done with this red bean?" ”
Qi Guifei's gaze swept over Hongdou's body, a trace of murderous intent flashed in her eyes, and she said coldly: "Come on, drag this cheap maid out and kill her with a cane." ”
When Hongdou heard this, he hurriedly shouted injustice, Qi Guifei was unmoved, Hongdou was dragged out like this, and the sound of screaming followed...... The guard who listened had a chill down his spine.
Concubine Chen glanced out of the door and sighed, "What a sin." After speaking, he retracted his gaze and asked, "Then what should this guard do?" ”
When the guard heard this, he hurriedly said, "Niangniang spare her life." ”
At this time, the prince opened his mouth, the queen mother, even if he disposes of this guard, it will not help, Yuan Jing has lost her virginity in the end, and I am afraid that no one will dare to marry someone in the future. Speaking of which, everyone guessed the prince's thoughts.
Qi Guifei looked at him with a shocked expression.
Concubine Chen asked tentatively, "What does the prince mean?" ……”
An imperceptible smile rose at the corner of the prince's mouth, and he said, "I mean it's better to fulfill them and make him a colt!" ”
Shen Lan hurriedly said: "Big brother's proposal is good, in this way, Yuan Jing's reputation can be preserved." ”
When Princess Yuanjing heard this, the eldest with open eyes, her face turned pale, and she shook her head and said: "I won't marry, I won't marry, what is he, he is also worthy of marrying me, and the mother concubine ......." As he spoke, he looked at Qi Guifei with tears in his eyes.
Yes, what is the identity of Princess Yuanjing, her mother is the emperor's favorite concubine, how could she be willing to marry a lowly guard guard, if she marries him, wouldn't it be a big laughing stock in the palace, then she still has the face to go out to meet people, and would rather die.
Shen Lanxin smiled coldly in his heart, up to now, this Princess Yuanjing still hasn't seen the facts, she has become a broken flower and a willow, but she is still so high, and now someone is willing to marry her, it is already to give her face, of course, she thinks so Qi Guifei thinks so.
Concubine Qi ignored her, then looked at the queen and said, "This matter is not trivial, the matter of marriage still needs to be decided by the emperor, so it is better to leave the rest of the matter to the emperor to deal with."
The queen felt that what Concubine Qi said made sense, "It's okay, presumably the emperor already knows about this matter." ”
Then Concubine Qi didn't say anything, just glanced at Princess Yuanjing hatefully.
Although a servant girl was executed today, Li Yuanshi felt that this matter must have something to do with Shen Lanxin, in other words, she did it, although all the evidence showed that it had nothing to do with her, and she looked so calm and composed.
The queen and Concubine Qi took Princess Yuanjing to the Taihe Palace, the emperor was furious when he learned about this, but he was helpless under the anger, after all, he was his daughter, but he could do such a bad thing, and let his face as the emperor be gloomy, there was no way, so he had to order the two to marry, and now this is the best way and the only way.
But as soon as the words fell, Princess Yuanjing not only disagreed, but also cried and made a fuss in the Taihe Palace, and the emperor was furious and ordered Princess Yuanjing to cut her hair as a nun, often accompanied by the ancient Buddha of the green light, how could Princess Yuanjing's temperament not marry the guards and be willing to become a monk, so she hit her head on the hall, and her head broke and she fainted, and when she woke up, she became crazy, and kept saying "I don't leave home, I don't leave home." ”
Qi Guifei looked at Princess Yuanjing curled up on the bed, and still muttered to herself: "I don't leave home, I don't leave home......"
Qi Guifei looked at her stupid appearance, but her good daughter has now become this miserable situation, and she can't help but feel heartache.
She gritted her teeth, her eyes sank, Li Yuanxin, your trick is really good to use the way of others, and it is really good to use it to treat the body of others, and the daughter of this palace is like this, today's incident, this palace will definitely get it back from you, let's see.
