25. Follow-up after falling into the water

Xia Xing glared back, "What's the matter with us, you make sure we can sneak out safely." 'Mingqin hugged the cricket jar and bowed his head'...... All right. At this time, Prince Jing asked: "Didn't you enjoy the flowers with a few concubines, how did you fall into the water?" The concubine hesitated: "Lord, this matter is actually... Please also ask the prince to keep it secret for me. Jing Wang Ye nodded: "Don't worry, please speak." "Actually, I jumped into the water on my own."

After hearing this astonishing words, Jing Wang Ye let out a faint sigh, and then turned his tune: "What? Why are you doing this? "Xia Xing Mingqin: 'Uh-huh, there's an inside story.' They all held on to the table legs, stretched their heads, and sat and waited. I heard the miserable and miserable relatives of the concubine: "I don't want to, prince, but I can't help it." The prince should know that I and the noble man have just entered the palace, because there are two of us newcomers in the palace, so we often come and go on weekdays. ”

"Yesterday she asked me to come to the Imperial Garden to enjoy the flowers, saying that it was a good time, just when the water lilies were blooming, and she wanted to go with me to play. She also said that she lives in Lanling Palace, so she should also invite a palace to enjoy the flowers, I thought about how many people are lively and agreed, because Li Concubine Niangniang was unwell, so a few of us enjoyed the flowers together today. When I was looking for me today, the merciful lady gave me a show bag, saying that this show bag often has a refreshing effect, and I specially asked the evening charge instrument to make two identical ones, so that I must bring it with her today. ”

Concubine Wan paused here and continued: "Who knew that the show bag I took it soon after I was exhausted, hot and dry, I had hallucinations when I admired the lotus, I knew that it was not good to go on like this, I wanted to go back to pity the nobles but kept stopping me, I couldn't just ......" Jing Wang Ye said angrily: "It's really annoying, the royal brother is not good at this, there are so many women in the harem, they are either around him all day long or cause trouble, how can the family talk about governing the country." ”

He also said: "How can you joke about your body, how can you stand the water so cold, you should bluntly catch the mastermind behind the scenes." Concubine Yun was helpless: "I don't know if it's her or Wan Chongyi's handwriting, not to mention that I'm weak, who would believe it?" "This king believes you, no, this king must tell the royal brother about this." "Lord Wang, don't do it, forget about it, maybe I misunderstood, and blame me for being careless."

"Misunderstanding something, they just deceive you for being kind. Leave this matter to the king, and you have a good rest. There was a knock on the door, and Gonggong Qu said outside: "The things you want are ready, the slaves are ready, the clothes and maids of the concubines are here, can the slaves come in now?" "Enter" Gonggong Qu rushed in with a bunch of mermaids, Xia Xing Mingqin took this opportunity to run out in one go, and when he saw the sky outside, he knew that it was too late, and the two hurriedly ran to Mengxue.

Halfway through, Bing Ning and the others were startled, and Xiao Chengzi was interrupted by Xia Xing when he saw that his master just wanted to cry: "Since the concubine's maid is here, the emperor will definitely come soon, let's go back quickly." Mingqin nodded: "Shut up and go." Xiao Chengzi: "。。。。。。 ”

The group returned to Mengxue to catch their breath, but Xia Xing was quickly carried over by his brother for questioning. After explaining his itinerary for the afternoon, Xia Xing asked excitedly: "Brother, do you think that Chinese people are very talented, and they can not only appreciate but also make pastries, tea, baths, make honey, rouge, incense, etc., and the key is that they can also harm people." It's really a good use. ”

One hundred and seventy-seven days to China, cloudy, dark and dreary, a little stuffy, probably yesterday after a crazy day, today a little listless. Xia Xingji.

Due to the falling incident, Emperor Jing sealed the entire imperial garden, and no one in the know was allowed to leak it until he gave a result. In addition, Xia Xing came back yesterday and it was late, so the group rested in Mengxue, and when they went back anyway, they were forced by Concubine Yun to ask the ins and outs of the matter, and in order to reassure Emperor Jing, Lady Jiang did not go out of the palace and went home yesterday, and Ming Qin and Shuhui did not return to the palace. Because of the poor conditions of Mengxue, Xia Han accidentally caught a cold and became ill, so only Xia Han was carried back to Biquan Palace to recuperate, and the people who witnessed it yesterday still stayed in Mengxue.

The result given by Emperor Jing for yesterday's huge action was that the noble man was jealous of the concubine and designed to frame him, so that the poisonous woman was sent to the cold palace. Xiao Dezi looked at the gloomy sky outside, closed the window and whispered: "I heard that the poor nobleman committed suicide last night." Bing Ning sighed: "Poor life is gone, why can't you think about it so much, and you will commit suicide in fear of sin." Lu Wan shook her head: "Her move has already affected her father and brother, and there is no hope of living." ”

The woman pulled the yarn and said quietly while pouring water: "Is it really her?" Several people were silent, silently waiting for the rain to come. In the studio on the other side, Lady Jiang also looked out the window, and walked to the window alone to stand side by side with her: "Ling'er, don't think too much, it has nothing to do with us." Lady Jiang said sadly: "Although I have been in the palace for more than five years and am used to seeing the contempt of human life, I still can't accept it when she is not hearsay, but happens in front of my eyes." ”

Mrs. Dou silently hugged Mrs. Jiang and patted her on the back to comfort her. Mrs. Jiang said sullenly: "Shouldn't I go, because of my words, a life will be gone...... Dou Taifu said: "Ling'er, don't think about it too much, there are other people without you." Emperor Jing needs a result, Concubine Wan needs an explanation, and the person behind the scenes needs a scapegoat, you just said the facts. ”

Jing Wang Ye is eager to see Emperor Jing's jokes, and he will definitely make a big deal about this matter, so as to use the matter of concubines to demolish Emperor Jing's platform. If it is spread that the old antiques and imperial histories of the clan will be folded, it will not mean that the concubine's supervision of the harem is unfavorable or that the emperor will be confused, and the queen of the mother of the country should be invited to preside over the overall situation; Or the concubines, fathers and brothers related to the overboard incident will be impeached, and the adult goddaughter should be dismissed and demoted.

Emperor Jing didn't care who they impeached, but cared about making a fuss about this matter, and the whole world knew about it, which was a family matter, and as a result, they felt how incompetent this emperor was, so that the people and scholars in the world would think of it. Therefore, as soon as Emperor Jing heard that King Jing was involved, he blocked the news and wanted to get a result quickly.

The people involved in this matter were all called together, and the show bag was made by the evening charging instrument and sent by the noble person. As a result, Wan Chongyi said that she made three show bags, two of the same embroidered ones were given to the poor nobleman, and one was worn by herself and then given to Lady Jiang, and the dried flowers in it were the same. Emperor Jing knew about the Imperial Garden Evening Chongyi and Lady Jiang, so he asked Lady Jiang to ask some questions, compared the three shows, and convicted the nobleman of mercy.

There are a lot of doubts in this matter, just because the two show bags are the same, and there are some hallucinogenic drugs in the concubine, so it is determined that the poor nobleman is poisoned and harmful. Where did that medicine come from? The medicine that is so bad for the court should be thoroughly investigated. What about the drug candidates? The people behind the scenes don't care about the concubines or the Chinese medicine of the nobles, as long as it is successful, it will kill three birds with one stone, and the Chinese medicine, the people who send the show and the show can't run, and the people in the palace also have problems that night.

Xia Han was not there, Xia Xing lay on the soft collapse alone without any image, and asked lazily and without strength: "A woman who can enter the palace shouldn't be stupid enough to blatantly hurt people, right?" Sand Skier said while drawing: "So the princess thinks that the late charge and the pity of the nobles are innocent." Xia Xing nodded: "Well, isn't it?" The sand slider came to Xia Xing: "Your Highness, where are the people in this palace who are really innocent, but there could have been three fewer people, but there was no one." Because the other two are really lucky. ”

Xia Xing sat up with interest: "What do you say?" "Sand Slippering:" I heard that when I was looking for someone yesterday, I found a guard guarding the palace gate in the house near the concubines, who was executed by Emperor Jing's secretary*, and at that time, the concubines were stopped by the poor nobles when they wanted to leave. Tonight, there was a palace maid in the Chongyi Palace who escaped without permission and was executed. Looking at Xia Xing's body leaning forward more and more as he spoke, the big blue eyes stared at him, and he paused.

Xia Xing hurriedly grabbed the sleeve of the sandslider and shook it: "Then what?" "Then, it means that if there is no pity for the nobles to stop the concubines, there will be one less in the harem. The evening charger should have just seen that there was something wrong with Xiu Nang, isn't she good at making incense? However, in order to find out the traitor in her palace, she did not stop the harmful thing, so she created today's result. After hearing this, Xia Xing's eyes moved, then he turned around and continued to lie on his stomach, and said with a faint expression: "Oh, go paint." Sand Skateboard asked very gently and elegantly: "Your Highness, do you understand?" ”

Xia Xing raised his small chin to learn the tone of Shu Huiye: "This princess has already seen it, but she is just testing you." Then he naturally glanced at the sandboard: "Go and paint." "Sandboarder walked to the table with black lines on his head, whose homework is this? Because the painting handed in yesterday really couldn't see anything, Lady Jiang asked Xia Xing to repaint it, look at Beiyan and these people, Aunt Bitao and Xia Han definitely can't.

Can Bijac and Dietey draw? Needless to say, Bingning, yesterday's one was her masterpiece, and the rest of the sand and the yarn were left, and this glorious task fell on the first person in Beiyan's intelligence. It's just that I was sand skiing, and I thought of being called by Xia Xing and solemnly instructed: "I want to paint it like what Princess Ben painted." "What kind of requirement is this, it is difficult to draw imperfect paintings for people who pursue perfection all their lives, the so-called 'killing chickens with a knife' allows calligraphy and painting to draw the level of children.

Since three days ago, there has been no sunny day, the sky is dark and dreary as if it is about to fall, in this dark, sullen atmosphere everyone feels extremely depressed, neither a solar eclipse but no sun, nor rain but full of dark clouds to cover the sky, such a natural vision in the folk discussion, all say that there is a wrongful prison. The people of the Criminal Department and Dali Temple were panicked, and they all took out the latest case files and began to look through them. What's more, it directly refers to the unjust cases of the palace.

Two days ago, in the imperial study, Emperor Jing threw down the music and got up to the window to look at the dark and dreary sky, the wind had damaged many potted flowers and trees, which was originally a sign of rain but it did not rain for two days.
