Chapter 34: Absurdity
"Hongmei, this palace can save you, but you need to tell this palace everything that the second lady has done since she entered the palace." Lin Yaxin is not a good person, since he wants to save Hongmei, he naturally has to play some role.
"This ......" Hongmei hesitated, because she knew that if she told Lin Yaxin something, she might not necessarily save herself. Now that the second lady has gone, no one knows a lot of things, and what she says is what she says. As long as she saves herself, she will ...... in the future
Lin Yaxin saw Hongmei's thoughts and directly blocked her retreat.
"Don't take chances, there are a lot of things that this palace knows, but I just want to confirm it and make myself die. Even if you don't say it, it won't have any impact on the main palace, it's just your life on the main palace. ”
When Hongmei heard this, she knew that she could only tell the truth if she wanted to live, and told Lin Yaxin everything Lin Yayin had done.
Hearing that her sister, who grew up together, had done so many things in just half a year, Lin Yaxin felt sad and puzzled. Why did the sound become like this?
Suppress the emotions in your heart, Lin Yaxin commanded.
"Zixing, as soon as the morning dawns, you will send Hongmei to Tsinghua Palace, be careful, don't let people see it."
"You tell Concubine Xian about Ziyun forging and Yin'er, and she will help you."
"Yes, sis. It's late at night, and the mother is not in good health, so let's rest. Zixing blessed his body and walked out with people.
Lying on the bed, Lin Yaxin thought about what Fang Hongmei said, and always felt that something was not quite right.
During the day, the concubines in the palace were all called to Qinghua Palace, just like the last time Chen Jing's incident happened, except that Lin Yaxin and Sun Qi were both future this time. Everyone knew that they were weak, but no one said anything.
"I wonder what happened to Sister Xian Fei putting on such a big scene today? Or is it because General Zhaohui was knighted and deliberately showed it to us? Liu Yuyang was the first to speak, although she lost the right to take care of palace affairs, but in the end, she was the highest among the concubines, and Yu Wei still existed.
"yes, don't just ask us all to come and knock our teeth when we have nothing to do. You must know that this palace is very busy, not as leisurely as your sister. Zhao Qinyue was naturally dissatisfied with letting Wu Yuyan pick up the cheap last time, and she also made sarcastic remarks at this time.
"Sister Concubine De laughed, Sister Concubine Xian is very busy taking care of the harem now, and she will never have nothing to do to gather us together to sit down. It's Sister Concubine De, the emperor hasn't been to Cuiyu Palace recently, so why are you busy? Wang Jinyun smiled.
Zhao Qinyue, who watched it, was even more annoyed in her heart, she knew that the emperor rested in Zhuxue Palace yesterday, but this Wang Jinyun was so deceitful that it was too much!
Wu Yuyan looked at them yin and yang, a little impatient, and interrupted directly.
"Okay, sisters, don't argue. The main palace called all the sisters today because she saw a person near the Japanese palace, and she told the main palace some things, which made it hard for the main palace to believe that there were such vicious people among the sisters of the harem! It really made the palace very angry, and I specially invited everyone to be a witness. ”
After Wu Yuyan finished speaking, everyone present stopped talking. Some are lost in thought, others are calculating.
"I don't know who Sister Xian is talking about?" Xu Qian and Wang Jinyun have always had a good relationship, for the sake of Wang Jinyun's face, she gave Wu Yuyan a step down and asked her to continue.
Wu Yuyan gave Xu Qian a grateful look and continued.
"Smile, bring her in." Wu Yuyan commanded to the people behind her.
"Yes, sissy." Xiaoxiao walked out, and when she came in again, she was followed by a palace maid, and when she came in, she knelt on the ground.
"Isn't this the red rose next to Imperial Maiden Lin?" Zhou Yunqing has frequent contacts with Lin Yayin on weekdays, and it is not surprising that she can recognize who this is.
"Zhou Cairen has good eyesight, it is Hongmei." Wu Yuyan praised Zhou Yunqing without sincerity.
"Hongmei, you say what you said to this palace before in front of everyone."
"Yes, sis. The slave maid is the personal palace maid of the Lin Imperial Maiden, Red Rose. Before entering the palace, the lady asked the slave maid if she was willing to accompany the young lady into the palace, and the slave maid had been serving the maid since she was a child, so she naturally had nothing unwilling, so she agreed. It's just that after entering the palace, the maid has become different from before, and she often curses Xinjieyu and Mrs. in secret. Those words make people tremble when they hear them. Hongmei seemed to think of those words, and showed a look of fear.
Later, the slave maid heard the maid say to Zhou Cairen that Xinjieyu was allergic to osmanthus and asked her to start from here. Later, Zhou Cairen gave a piece of Ziyun forging to Xinjieyu, and the cloth had a very light osmanthus flavor. Maybe Xinjieyu found something and didn't see what she did with that cloth. Seeing that this plan had failed, the maiden became even more irritable. Later, Xinjieyu's poisoning happened, and the maid was happy for a long time. Until that day, the royal maid saw the emperor shouting at Xin Jieyu in Qingquan Palace, and in a fit of anger, the royal maid provoked Chen Meiren to drug Xin Jieyu. ”
"Chen Meiren is dead, and there are rumors of haunting in the palace. When the maiden heard about it, something was not right, until she was diagnosed with madness that day. When the maid was sent to the Floating Cloud Palace, the slave maid was with her, thinking that if the slave maid served her well, maybe the maid would be better in the future. But unexpectedly, some people don't want the maid to live. ”
Speaking of this, Hongmei seemed to have thought of something, and her eyes were a little red.
Calming down, she continued.
"On the night of moving to Fuyun Palace, the slave maid was knocked unconscious, and when she woke up, the slave maid picked up a piece of jade by her side, thinking that the person accidentally fell off when she knocked the slave and maid unconscious. I didn't see the maid, and when the slave maid came out to inquire, I found out that the maid was dead. ”
In the end, it is the master and servant for many years, Hongmei's emotions are a little out of control when she says this.
When she had calmed down, she continued.
"The slave was afraid that the man would find out that the jade pendant was gone, and he would come to kill the slave and the maid, so he had to hide, and last night he dared to come to the Qinghua Palace quietly while everyone was asleep, and wanted to ask the virtuous concubine to be the master of the royal daughter, and he must find out the person who committed the murder. Although the maiden has done something wrong, she has been punished, but she is not guilty of death! ”
When Hongmei finished speaking, everyone's hearts hung in the air. If what Hongmei said is true, it means that someone in the palace dares to blatantly kill the concubines, it is Lin Yayin today, maybe it will be herself one day.
"Zhou Cairen, this palace just heard that you and Imperial Maiden Lin had conspired to kill Xin Jieyu, I don't know what you said?" Wang Jinyun's first investigation was not Lin Yayin's death, but Lin Yaxin's matter.
"Sister Shufei, don't listen to this cheap maid, she looks like she is being instructed by someone. I didn't expect Sister Lin to be so good to her when she was alive, but she would slander her after her sister's death. Zhou Yunqing didn't pay attention to Hongmei's words, which is why she didn't react when she heard that just now.
"Oh? I don't know why my sister said this? ”
"Since Hongmei is Sister Lin's personal palace maid, she should naturally be loyal to her sister. Now that he wants to find out the murderer for his sister, how can he tell his sister about murdering? Isn't it obvious that her master has someone else? ”
"Zhou Cairen is right. Boldly bold, say, what is your purpose! Zhao Qinyue took the lead and directly took over the work of asking the case. As if this would show that she was more suitable for power than Wu Yuyan.
"The slave swears that everything she says is true! Although the slave maid wanted to avenge the maid, she couldn't bear to see Xinjieyu being deceived by the maid all the time. Before the slave maid entered the palace, she was a subordinate of the Lin Mansion, and she saw the affection of the lady and Xinjieyu for the maid, but the maid had a grudge against them. Madame treats her subordinates leniently and treats the slaves and maids very well, and the slaves and maids can't bear her and Xinjieyu to be sad for the death of a vicious person, so they want to expose the true face of the maid. And the slave maid said that night that she also wanted to ask the maid to be the master of the maid, which is also the slave maid's loyalty to the maid. Hongmei was very calm at this time, stating her own inner thoughts.
"If Hongmei says so, then it is really necessary to let Sister Xin know what kind of character his 'sister' is. Lest one day he put himself in danger by avenging her, it would be too unworthy. Wang Jinyun agreed with Hongmei's words.
"This is all Hongmei herself, naturally she can say whatever she wants."
"The slave has proof!"
"Oh? That's kind of interesting. ”
"Ziyun forging was personally given to Xinjieyu by Zhou Cairen, and the osmanthus fragrance used on it was begged by the royal maid from the lady concubine. It's all true, and the slave doesn't dare to lie. Please also check it out! Hongmei said, kowtowing in the direction of the main seat.
"Since this matter involves Xinjieyu, it is better to call her over and ask what is going on." Liu Yuyang kindly made a suggestion.
Before Wu Yuyan could refute, a majestic rebuke came from outside.
"Ridiculous!" Li Yiqian strode in.
"I've seen the emperor!"
"Get up!"
Li Yiqian glanced at Wang Jinyun and walked straight to the main seat and sat down.
After sitting down, everyone didn't dare to speak without permission because of the "absurdity" just now.
"Xinjieyu and Sun Xiuyi are not weak, I have authorized them not to participate in the affairs of the palace, and now just for a palace maid, you have to let Xinjieyu come out, but you have to take me to heart!"
After Li Yiqian got off the court, he came directly to Qinghua Palace, but as soon as he arrived here, he heard Liu Yuyang say that he wanted to call Xin'er over, and he was immediately angry.
Li Yiqian's words made Liu Yuyang's face turn white instantly.
"Your Majesty, the concubines ......"
"Alright, you don't have to say more."
"I know everything about Ziyun Forging. If you have any questions, you might as well ask me. ”
"Your Majesty, did Zhou Cairen really send a purple rhyme forging with osmanthus fragrance to Xin Jieyu that day?" Zhao Qinyue was the first to ask.
