Chapter 65: Scam
Soon, someone brought Bai Lu to the palace, and she wanted to serve Sheng Changning, who was "suddenly infected with a cold" with Lixia.
After listening to Lixia's words, Sheng Changning didn't say anything more, now at this time, it is no longer the time for her to believe Bai Lu or not, it is a question of whether Sheng Changqiong believes that Bai Lu did it.
When Bai Lu came in, she was holding a basin bowl with hot water in it, she didn't say a word, and after lifting half of the veil curtain, she gently twisted the handkerchief and put it on Sheng Changning's forehead.
In the past few days, she has been suddenly snubbed, she has never reacted for a while, she has lost a lot of weight all of a sudden, not to mention, and her whole person is also depressed, as if she has been severely tortured.
After doing this, Bai Lu bent her legs and knelt down, "Princess, the slave knows that she is wrong......
Li Xia suddenly felt sad, and hurriedly looked at the bed, seeing that Sheng Changning was still silent, she felt extremely dazed.
She naturally believed in Bai Lu, but if the princess didn't believe her, why did she take Bai Lu with her and not let the guards take people away? Sacrificing herself for shelter like this, she felt that the princess must have been shaken in her heart, so she would do so.
"What's wrong with you? Doesn't it mean that the matter of Princess Rongfu has nothing to do with you? ”
Sheng Changning's voice was soft, and people couldn't hear the meaning of blame in her tone.
Bai Lu was embarrassed and indignant, and couldn't help crying when her emotions intersected, she didn't get up, "The slave maid did deceive the princess, but the slave maid swore in the name of her family, and she never did anything to the eldest princess's child, if she violated this oath, she would not ......."
"Alright."
Sheng Changning stopped her, "Let's talk about it first, where did you go that day and what did you do?" ”
Bai Lu sobbed, and slowly told the story of how she was blackmailed that day, "The slave maid was in the garden, and she accidentally bumped into the concubine talking to a foreign man...... Listening to what they said, there seemed to be ill intentions, and when the slave maid was about to walk away quickly, she saw the palace maids of Huangyang Palace coming over, and they were talking about the Nine Stops Pill used by the concubine, and the slave and maid had to hide......
"But who knows, Concubine Yi and the man found the slave maid, and they forced the slave maid to fetch the Nine Stops Pill for the two maids of the Huangyang Palace, and the slave maid was terrified, so she had to agree to come down......"
Listening to these ins and outs, and connecting the causes and consequences, Sheng Changning already knew it in her heart, but she was still a little shocked.
The murder of Sheng Changqiong's child this time was undoubtedly the work of that Yi Guifei.
Everyone in Da Chu knows that Princess Rongfu and King Yonghuai are quite careful about this first child, so Concubine Yi joined forces with outsiders to murder the fetus in Sheng Changqiong's womb, in a vain attempt to tear up the relationship between Chu Jun and King Yonghuai.
If it succeeds, Da Chu will inevitably have internal chaos, and the marriage between Chu and Yue will also be put on hold for the time being.
For all the people of Da Chu, it is a hundred harms and no benefits.
Why did Concubine Keyi do this? Now that she has the grace of Sheng Chang Mu alone, even the Hou Yin is in her hands, and her status is so high that she can be said to be under one person, how could she have the intention of conspiring with others to kill her husband?
"Who is the person who conspired with Concubine Yi?" Sheng Changning opened his eyes and asked.
Was it because Concubine Yi had an affair and was instigated, or did she herself have a grudge against Sheng Changmu......
Listening to Sheng Changning's question, Bai Lu was also very confused, "At that time, he was wearing a black veil on his face, and the slave maid was ...... I didn't see this man's face clearly......"
But when the slave turned around, she seemed to see a red mark on the man's neck...... The slave and maid were very flustered when they saw it, and they only saw it at a glance, and they couldn't remember how big the mark was...... "Bai Lu suddenly remembered something, and said intermittently.
A red mark on the neck?
Sheng Changning frowned and turned around in his memory, but he couldn't think of who this person was.
Lixia on the side also frowned slightly when she heard this, she hesitated a little, "Princess, slave maid...... It seems that I have seen the person Bai Lu said somewhere. She didn't seem to remember much, but there was still a look of remembrance in her eyes.
Sheng Changning waved his hand, "That's it." "The most important thing now is that on the Jiangbei side, whether the king of Yonghuai is as good as the concubine and that person want, he will really raise troops against each other because of Sheng Changqiong's child......
Sheng Changning couldn't help but be worried, and when she caught a glimpse of the two maids with a bitter and hateful look, she lowered the bed curtain, "The guards outside should have been dismissed by Lady Mo, so you all go down." I can't remember who that person is, and I don't need to force it, since he is in this palace, he will be found one day. ”
"No......"
Bai Lu and Lixia glanced at each other, saluted to the side of the bed, and then slowly retreated.
……
When Sheng Changqiong came to Shufang Hall in person at noon, Sheng Changning had already ordered someone to bring cold water, if it hadn't warmed up today, the cold water slapping on his body was indeed bone-chilling.
Sheng Changqiong opened the bed curtain in a chaotic manner, and saw the pale face of the person on the bed at a glance, and the female official Mo behind her was still suppressing her voice to dissuade, "Eldest princess...... My princess is indeed sick, it is the fault of the slaves and maids, last night the window was not closed tightly, so that the princess suffered a night of cold, and only woke up in the morning and ......"
"Why don't you ask the Imperial Doctor to come and see you?"
Sheng Changqiong's hand was gently withdrawn, and the bed curtain was back to its original shape, and there was no clue on her face.
"Back to the eldest princess, the princess ordered the slaves and maids not to invite the imperial doctor, saying that the medicine was too bitter and the princess did not want to drink it...... There is really nothing the slaves can do. Lady Mo hung her head and replied, her words full of helplessness.
Lowering her eyebrows, Lady Mo couldn't see the expression of the eldest princess Rongfu in front of her, so she didn't hear her voice anymore, and fell into silence.
"White Dew ......"
"Who's making a fuss?"
What broke the silence was the sound on the bed, and as the gauze curtain was half-lifted, Sheng Changning's eyes were still a little hazy, as if he was immersed in sleepy eyes.
After seeing who the person in front of her was, Sheng Changning's pupils shrank by an inch, and she immediately struggled to get out of bed, "Eldest princess, why are you here......?"
"No need to be polite."
Sheng Changqiong looked at her lightly, and only after a moment did he say, "Since you are sick, you should give birth to a good life." ”
"Yes."
Sheng Changning responded.
In the face of Sheng Changqiong's cold attitude, she was not surprised at all. If it were her, she would not be able to give a good face to the culprit who was likely to kill her own flesh and blood.
The person in front of him was weak and submissive, Sheng Changqiong didn't look at her again, and turned around and walked out of the inner hall after speaking.
Sheng Changning followed and watched her go away, but he didn't feel any relaxation in his heart.
This scam can only be regarded as a temporary unmask.
