Chapter 145: The clouds are light and the wind is light
It has been two days since the incident of Concubine Qi, but the summer palace still looks calm, only Jiang Wan knows that this person has already been in turmoil in his heart.
She smiled slightly bitterly, I don't know if she is the biggest suspect in that person's heart?
Yihe Palace, here is the residence of Concubine Qi Liu Niannian in the summer palace, in this stormy thunderstorm night, everything seems extremely quiet. Maybe it was because Concubine Qi was generous to the slaves and maids on weekdays, so in the days after she suffered, the mood of Yihe Palace was very low.
Today, the eldest palace maid in front of Concubine Qi Danqing was sick, and she was replaced by the second-class palace maid Moqing on duty at night.
When the third watch was approaching, Mo Qing stood in front of the dormitory where Concubine Qi lived with heavy eyelids. Suddenly, she seemed to hear something inexplicable.
After Concubine Qi's disfigurement, Mo Qing blamed herself very much, and swore in her heart to protect her master, the master was so good to their subordinates, they actually failed to protect their master, it really shouldn't be.
Mo Qing secretly clenched his small fists and cautiously touched towards the source of the sound.
Nestled behind the root of the wall, she quickly probed and probed again, and she breathed a sigh of relief and walked out from behind the root of the wall.
There was a token lying on the ground, and a piece of paper was pressed underneath, loosely folded into a small piece, Mo Qing hurriedly put the thing into his arms, and did not dare to unfold the note to read the words on it, and ran towards the dormitory, with wind under his feet.
Concubine Qi picked the candle that had just been lit, and the faint orange light suddenly jumped with her movements, and it was hazy and sprinkled on her thin body.
She slowly took the token and note handed over by Mo Qing's eyes, and said gently: "Mo Qing, I've worked hard for you, go and ask Ruhua to guard the middle of the night for you." The young girl's house, the green shadow under her eyes can't be too heavy. Mo Qing bit her lip, held back the sourness that came up in her throat, and sniffed: "Slave and maid thank Niangniang." β
Mo Qing left the dormitory to call Ruhua, and when he left, he also intimately covered the door for Concubine Qi.
Liu Niannian lowered her eyelids, and the candle shadow gently hit her slender eyelashes, like a fluttering butterfly. This butterfly was supposed to be beautiful and elegant, but her body was covered with mottled scars, and many of them were slowly oozing blood, more like an asura crawling up from hell.
Among them, the deepest one was a hideous scar from Liu Niannian's right eyebrow bone, all the way to the jaw without stopping. She frowned as thin as willow leaves, and her fingers unconsciously stroked the cruel scar, bringing a burning pain.
The strength of the fingertips became harder and harder, and the pain from the nerve endings became more intense, and Liu Niannian's shallow beautiful eyes became heavier.
The next day, the imperial doctors were urgently summoned by Lu Zhixing to enter the Yihe Palace, and as soon as they entered, several senior old imperial doctors broke out in a fine and dense cold sweat. It was really Lu Zhixing's face that was too ugly, and they couldn't help but think desperately in their hearts if something was wrong with Concubine Qi, and the emperor wanted to condemn them.
Sure enough, as soon as Lu Zhixing saw them enter the house, he slapped his palm, and the tea set on the case also jumped, and fell heavily on the desk with a "clang".
"A bunch of rubbish!" Lu Zhixing's eyes were red, and he scolded fiercely: "Concubine Qi's strange wound has worsened again, and she is in a high fever at the moment, unconscious!" He stood up suddenly, his cold gaze swept across the panicked faces of every imperial doctor present, and sneered: "Concubine Qi's identity, you old guys should know it, right?" Even if I don't let you ...... then."
The imperial physician who came with him couldn't help it, walked a few steps on his knees, stepped forward and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Concubine Qi's scar must have been used by the killer with a special poison, and please believe in Your Majesty, within three days, the ministers will definitely desperately develop an antidote, Your Majesty!" β
Lu Zhixing stared at him for a long time, snorted coldly, and walked away.
"Niangniang, Niangniang......" Mo Qing's soul fell down in front of Liu Niannian's collapse reluctantly, thinking about the killer token and the note last night, and the emotion of regret dominated her whole body for a moment: Certainly, she must have harmed her master, maybe the killer didn't let Niangniang go, and she came again yesterday...... Damn it! She bit her lip so hard that the smell of blood filled her mouth, but she didn't realize it.
"Ink ...... Green. Mo Qing came to his senses and hurriedly held Liu Niannian's cold and sweaty hand: "Niangniang, the slave is here, the slave is here!" Liu Niannian, who was lying on the collapse, tried to open his eyes a slit, and looked at her in a daze, angry as if he was a gossamer: "Go...... Go and call Danqing over, the palace ......" said, Liu Niannian seemed to be out of breath, coughing badly, Mo Qing looked at it in horror, thinking that the thin woman in front of him was about to go.
"Hongu ...... I'm afraid it's going to be a short time to die. Liu Niannian pinched Mo Qing's wrist, and a trace of gray flickered on his pale face. Where else can Mo Qing say anything, she has already cried so much that she can't say anything: "Yes, it's Niangniang, the slave is going to call Sister Danqing, woo...... Niangniang...... "She wiped the tears from her face, stood up resolutely, and ran out.
Liu Niannian looked at her grief-stricken back, the corners of her lips hooked lightly, and closed her eyes, she was very tired, she had no strength in her body, and when the toxin attacked, she even felt that she was dead.
Ignorant, she seemed to have returned to her childhood, and her grandfather's tall figure stood in front of her, as if he would always stand tall - Liu Niannian has always believed so, how could a person like her grandfather be defeated by something?
Liu Yi lowered his head, his vicissitudes of life gently stayed on Liu Niannian's young body, he stretched out his skinny hand and gently placed it on the top of her soft hair, and his voice was extremely stable.
"Niannian, your surname is Liu, you must remember that you are my Liu Yi's granddaughter."
"Grandfather......" Liu Niannian gently pursed his lips and muttered unconsciously. Around her, there were countless imperial doctors around her, and she was anxious to turn around, and you analyzed her condition word by word, but she couldn't hear it.
Grandfather, I know, I have never forgotten, I am the daughter of the Liu family.
Night is slowly falling, and tonight is another sleepless night for the summer palace.
A slender figure walked lightly in the night, like a ghost in the deep night, skillfully using various shadows to block the body, which was absolutely unnoticed.
It's a pity that the opponent she has to face is Jiang Wan, the one who stood out and became the winner in the modern workplace of the jungle, climbed step by step from the cold palace to the position of Concubine Hui in the harem of cannibalism and does not spit out bones, and even the position of queen is within reach.
"This girl, where are you going?"
The figure froze, then ran in one direction like crazy. However, it was too late, and the scorching fire around her was ignited in an instant, and her face was avoided, and she was suddenly exposed to the light shining in all directions.
is obviously the face of Qing Shui Hibiscus, but it is embedded with a pair of charming peach blossom eyes, and the makeup on the face is mottled. It can be seen that the owner of this two-faced face is in a hurry, and he has not even removed his makeup.
Jiang Wan wore a gilded shirt with big sleeves, neatly tied a cross bun behind his head, and a few jade hairpins that fixed the bun, all of which were of good condition; The phoenix's eyes narrowed slightly, his expression was unpredictable, and the bright color was compelling. At this moment, she looked condescendingly at this celestial goddess who was behind the scenes, as if everything was under control.
The corner of the goddess's lips lifted slightly, revealing a graceful arc of sarcasm: "Don't come to harm, Miss Danqing." β
In the Yihe Palace, it was the grand occasion of the three halls of trial at this moment, and the rest of the maids and servants were all sent down by Jiang Wan, she thought, interrogating this prisoner with a special status, Concubine Qi, who was a victim, would definitely not be willing to be listened to by others.
Yes, the concubine Qi, who was still dying in the daytime, was sitting on the three interrogation seats in the palace master hall of Yihe Palace at this moment.
When Danqing was caught by Jiang Wan, she still thought that Concubine Qi would live until early tomorrow morning at most, as long as she gritted her teeth and did not admit her guilt, she would not die without proof in the end? During the day, she deliberately talked to the stupid Mo Qing, the girl was honest, sobbing and choking and said everything, she wanted to contact the killer and recover the money.
She was very dissatisfied, the task given to them at the beginning was only to ruin Concubine Qi's appearance, even if she put some poison, it was to make Concubine Qi ugly for a long time. The killer couldn't even control this dose, so don't blame her for officially asking him for a part of the remuneration according to the channels of the rivers and lakes - after all, it was all her belongings, and she was also very painful when she paid it all at once.
But the moment she saw Concubine Qi sitting on the chaise longue, Danqing knew that she was finished, all finished.
When she was escorted in by Changge, she kicked her knees and fell to the ground involuntarily, but until all the maids and minions had run away, she still maintained this fixed posture and couldn't move.
Liu Niannian sat relaxed on the chaise longue, holding a cup of jujube tea in her hand, and drinking without a sip with her eyelashes down, even if she looked directly at the hideous scars all over this woman's face, just looking at the style of her body, the audience could still sigh a beauty.
Jiang Wan secretly observed her, and sighed softly in her heart, where can she be as calm as her face, the master and servant have been so ruthless overnight for so many years. The clay man still has a three-point temper, not to mention Concubine Qi, who is the daughter of the Liu family.
She didn't forget, Liu Yi's protΓ©gΓ© is the most particular about integrity, if there is no literati style, and he only bends his waist for five buckets of rice, Liu Yi will not accept it.
So, Concubine Qi, what will you do?
Liu Niannian didn't say anything, she drank very slowly, but after all, she drank the whole cup of sweet and mellow jujube tea, Mo Qing is a good child, she understands her mind very well, she has less Danqing's impetuousness in the past, and she only knows how to be good for her. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but smile lightly, that kid was really stupid.
"Your Majesty." Liu Niannian got up and made a gesture to salute, Lu Zhixing hurriedly helped her up, Jiang Wan peeked at it, his heart hurt slightly, his panic didn't seem to be a fraud at all, but as if he really pitied the fragrance and cherished the jade: "Niannian, don't be polite, I will be the master for you." β
Liu Niannian smiled softly, lowering her terrifying face, she remembered the rules of the palace, and she couldn't stain the emperor's eyes: "It's getting late, Your Majesty and Concubine Hui go back to rest, as for some irrelevant minions......"
Danqing, who was kneeling on the ground in a daze, suddenly raised his head and stared at her like a torch. Liu Niannian didn't feel anything, and the smile on the corner of his lips was still gentle like water: "The slave is disobedient, just kill it at will, and it is the concubine's sin to bother Your Majesty." β
No, from beginning to end, Liu Niannian didn't give Danqing even a look, as if the one kneeling there was already a dead corpse that was not worth her gaze.
Danqing was paralyzed on the ground, his heart like ashes.
Yes, this is Concubine Qi, this is her Liu Niannian, what has been in love for many years, what hatred is in the bone marrow, and she wants to be beautiful.
Literati since ancient times? The clouds are light and the wind is light.
