Chapter 44: Aftermath Investigation
?
Concubine Zheng Guifei didn't care, but raised her eyebrows and smiled coldly at me, and then said: "That's right, the twelve princes are especially kind to the emperor who doesn't need to use 'milk' mothers, so not only the blessing of the twelve princes, but also the blessing of Concubine Rao's sister, just ask us who has the blessing to feed their children 'milk', I'm afraid I can't even think of it!"
As soon as these words came out, several people here had given birth to princes, and as soon as the prince was born, he was held to the 'milk' mother to feed, so a special case like me was the most likely to make them unhappy.
The queen sighed: "It is not easy for the twelve princes to come, and everyone must know a thing or two about the dangers in the middle. As he spoke, he took a deep look at Concubine Zheng Guifei, and everyone could see it clearly, and their faces were mostly gloating, "The twelve princes are the emperor's youngest sons, so Concubine Rao is cautious, and the emperor cares about pity, which is understandable!"
The mother said with a ashamed face: "It's all the concubines, the concubines didn't teach the 'daughter' well, so that the queen and the palace mothers were worried, the concubine has persuaded the concubine, she has promised to only feed the prince for a few days, and after a while, you still have to find the 'milk' mother according to the rules." "Mother didn't immediately say anything about asking for a 'milk' mother, after all, she had to spare a few days to find someone reliable.
The queen nodded and said, "This is the best, after all, it is royal decency!"
My mother said yes again and again, and I also confessed to the queen.
I stood up for a long time, at this time I only felt unwell, and even a little flustered and short of breath, and the concubine's eyes were sharp, and I made a look at me, and stepped forward to say to the queen: "The ceremony is over, we have nothing to do here, it is better to go to my place to sit down, and let Concubine Rao have a good rest!"
The queen smiled: "It's the palace that is negligent, Concubine Rao, you can rest quickly, after all, you have injured your body, you have to take care of it!"
Zheng Guifei said in a strange way: "Concubine He is really a sister!"
And the concubine said goodbye to ignore it, the queen beckoned everyone to leave, my mother hurriedly asked me to lie down, accompanied me for a while, saw that the time was not early, and went back out of the palace, and when I walked to the 'door', I looked back at me, her eyes were full of tears, but she was afraid that I would see it and turned her head in a hurry.
As a mother, I know that it is not easy to be a mother......
I only slept for a while and then woke up to feed the child, and now my sleep is very light, even if the child moves slightly, I immediately open my eyes, to see him, I feel at ease.
All mothers are like this.
After feeding 'milk' once, I leaned on the pillow and asked, "Why didn't I see Concubine Ya today!"
'Spring' half-squatted on the pedal and said: "Niangniang doesn't know yet, Concubine Ya is grounded!"
I was taken aback: "Why, who means." "After asking, I feel redundant, except for the emperor, who can let one of the four concubines grounded.
'Chun' parted: "It's the emperor's will, no matter what, Niangniang was moved because of Concubine Ya's snow banquet, and the palace 'girl' who hit Niangniang was the person next to Concubine Ya." She looked at me and asked softly, "What do you think?"
I shook my head and said, "No matter what, I won't think that the person who harmed me is Concubine Ya, in terms of favor, she is the first part ......of the harem;
"What does the mother want to say!"
I looked at her and said, "It's just that she suddenly wants to hold a snow feast, I think it's a little strange, 'spring', you let the frost fall to check on this matter, I don't believe that a 'girl' child who grew up in the grassland has lived in the Central Plains for two years, and she knows how to be elegant." "If nothing happened, I wouldn't think much about it, but now that something has happened, I can't afford to think about it anymore.
"Rest assured, Frost is clever and delicate, and she will definitely be able to check it out. She spoke confidently.
I asked again: "By the way, what about the 'girl' of the little palace who bumped into me!"
'Chun' was distracted and darkened, and said, "I've been killed by a cane!"
My lips moved, and in the end I didn't say anything, although she was careless, but the mistake has been made, some people say that knowing the wrong can be corrected, and the good is great, but in this secluded deep palace, some people can't be wrong, because there is no chance to correct the mistake.
In the evening, Qiheng came to see me, sat on the side of my 'bed' and asked, "How do you feel today, is the child okay!"
I smiled gently: "It's all 'good', thank you for your concern!"
He glanced at the sleeping child and said, "Today's wash is still obedient!"
I thought of what 'Yu'er had been sleeping like', and said with a smile: "He knows what to be obedient and disobedient now, he can only eat and sleep!"
Hearing this, he just smiled faintly, and I saw that his attitude towards the child was always warm, and there was no other way, so I had to say something else to him.
"Did the emperor ban Sister Yafei's feet? I asked knowingly.
He frowned, his face sank, and said: "If she hadn't 'made' some snow feast, how could you almost lose your life, and the palace 'girl' beside her, she didn't know how to train well, so she had no eyes, fortunately, you and the child were safe and sound, otherwise...... I feel that I have spared her!"
I 'wanted' to say and stopped, after all, the things I wanted to check hadn't been found out, and I didn't want to startle the snake, so I laughed at myself again, and I still felt that the man in front of me was not worthy of my trust.
A day later, Frostfall brought back the news I wanted: "A person named Luyun next to Concubine Ya has been very popular with Concubine Ya recently, and it is said that several ideas for Concubine Ya are very pleasing to the emperor, and Concubine Ya regards her as a 'woman' of the personal palace.
"Who was this Green Cloud?"
"Originally, she was just a second-class palace 'girl', since she got the favor of Concubine Ya, she was promoted to a first-class, and she has been in the palace for a long time, and she has been with a few little masters in the past, and she is not very favored, there are two younger brothers in the family, and a younger brother is doing rough eunuchs, and the first-class palace 'girl' who occupies her position is excluded by her, and she is very complaining, and she has told the slave maid everything, and said that her younger brother is not a weapon, and gambles with the old eunuchs all day long, and when he loses money, he comes to find Green Cloud, but this time, it has been a long time!"
I thought about it for a moment and asked, "In the 'Yin' Xue Xuan that day, Lu Yun was not there!"
Frost took a deep breath and said, "Concubine Ya takes her with her wherever she goes, and she was there that day!"
'Chunfen' listened to it on the side, frowned and asked: "Niangniang, it seems that this green cloud and her brother are very problematic, do you want the slave to continue to investigate!"
I shook my head and said, "No matter how much you can find, it's only from the palace, you go and call Liu Youyu in!"
'Spring' first put down the curtain for me, and then called Liu Youyu to come, I asked him to check on Luyun's family, and asked Luzi to approach Luyun's brother to see if he could say something more.
While I asked them to check the matter of Green Cloud, I was worried and waited for the news from home, the emperor did not come for several days, saying that the previous dynasty was busy, and when he came again, I already knew who bought Green Cloud.
The slave deliberately lost a few taels of silver at the gambling table to Lian Hai, oh, it was Luyun's brother, and later invited him to drink, poured two pots down, and he began to brag. Luzi said with some pride, "What did you say that I met the nobles in the palace, not only paid off his gambling debts, but also helped his sister Luyun get promoted, and more importantly, their family used to live in Chishuigou, where they only lived for food, and now they have moved to Qingpingfang!"
I asked, "Did he say which noble person in the palace was he?"
Lu Zi pondered for a while, and said: "I just didn't say it, but listening to that tone, saying that this noble person was also one of the best in the harem, and the slave joked that it wouldn't be the queen's mother, he said no, and said that the person was originally more powerful than the queen, but ...... Although it is not as good as before, it is not bad, the queen is not as prominent as her family" When he said the last sentence, Lu Zi cautiously glanced at my face.
I sneered in my heart, the illustrious mother's family, fools know who it is.
After Luzi finished speaking, Liu Youyu said: "The slave is too eye-catching when he leaves the palace, so the slave asked Xiao Dezi to go to Qingpingfang to find Luyun's family!"
Xiao Dezi, I thought about it for a while, and thought that it was Liu Youyu's brother, who was a person from the inner 'servant' province, it was more convenient to go out of the palace, and it would not attract attention for no reason, and he was also the one who helped Liu Youyu deliver a letter last time.
"What he said. "Despite this, I still can't trust him, but Liu Youyu 'handed over' such a big thing to him, which shows that Liu Youyu trusts him very much.
Liu Youyu hurriedly said: "Don't worry, as soon as Xiao Dezi heard that it was Niangniang's order, he took leave from the palace and kept squatting near Luyun's house to watch!"
I secretly wondered in my heart, Liu Youyu smiled and said: "Xiao Dezi and I are sworn brothers, and everyone in his family fled to death, so he recognized the slave's old mother as a godmother, and the slave and he both remembered Niangniang's life-saving grace, if he hadn't been discovered, he would have come to kowtow to Niangniang to thank him!"
I nodded and smiled: "It's really inconvenient to come over, this relationship, the less people know about it, the better, you say, what did Xiao Dezi discover!"
Xiao Dezi inquired with his neighbors and said that Luyun's father was also a good gambler, so he went to the gambling house, saw Luyun's father, lost a 'fine' light, and went back at night to get the money, so he went to Qinguifang. As he spoke, Liu Youyu looked up at me.
Qinguifang is the place where the princes and ministers opened their mansions and built houses, and Concubine He's home and my home are all there, and Concubine Zheng's mother's house is also there.
"Is that her? "I looked in the direction of Guan Ju Palace.
"Yes, Xiao Dezi will not be mistaken, Luyun and her father just entered the side 'door' of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, and it took a long time before he came out, scolding and scolding, but he also had an extra bag of silver in his hand, and then went to gamble again!"
The needles in the house could be heard, it lasted for a long time, I didn't speak, and they didn't know what to say to comfort me, the estrangement between me and Concubine Zheng was no longer a matter of one or two days, no, it can no longer be called an estrangement, but a hatred involving life and death.
After a long time, the 'spring' equinox lifted a trace of the curtain and asked me softly: "Niangniang, are you okay?"
I took a deep breath, spit out slowly, and said, "It's okay, you all did a good job on this errand, 'spring', go open the box and reward them, and Xiao Dezi's share, thank him for his hard work!"
Liu Youyu was about to excuse himself, but the 'spring' had already said: "Since it is the reward of the mother, you can accept it, Luzi has also contributed a lot to this matter!"
Liu Youyu sighed ashamedly: "It's a pity that the minions can only inquire about these news, and nothing else can help Niangniang!"
'Chun' Fen looked back at me and gave them a 'look', they retreated, and 'Chun' Fen came to me and asked: "Do you want to tell the emperor about this matter!"
I sneered: "Tell the emperor, what to say, is there evidence now that the oil stain was deliberately done by Luyun, with the evidence we have now, it is too easy to wipe it off!"
'Spring' bit his lower 'lip', with anger in his eyes, but there was nothing he could do.
I leaned over and kissed 'Yu'er', stroked his soft and delicate fetal hair, and could only swear in my heart: My mother will not let you be hurt again, even if it is to give up this life.
