Chapter 36: The Wind Urges (2)
?
When everything was ready, I went to the queen to say goodbye, this is not the time for the concubines to say goodbye, the queen was a little surprised to see me coming, and asked: "Why did you come here now, it's still early outside, why are your eyes red!"
Before I came, I wiped some chili water under my eyes, at this time, I choked and shed tears, I couldn't hold it, she asked, I had to cry even more, holding my waist and about to kneel, the queen hurriedly said: "You are pregnant with a child, don't kneel around, what to do if you are injured, if you have any grievances, just tell the palace, the palace will make decisions for you!"
I cried and said, "Queen Mother, with your words, the concubine is not afraid of anything!"
"What the hell is going on!"
"Returning to the Queen, here's the thing. "I couldn't stop crying, I could only say it from the 'spring', and the 'spring' naturally knew what to say, what not to say, and how to say it, so as to not only clear up my relationship, but also tell the queen the whole story.
After listening, the queen's face was very solemn, and she said angrily: "It's really upside down, once and again, can you pay it back, come on, bring that dog slave to the palace, confession, this palace wants to see which black-hearted slut has done such a rebellious thing!"
Presumably, she is also looking forward to that person in her heart, but I don't know if she understands in her heart that as long as the emperor is in one day, that person will always have no fear.
When the queen saw the name on the confession, the corners of her eyes jumped, and her lips were pursed into a slit, but she quickly bent the corners of her mouth, frowned and reprimanded: "Song Baolin is so bold, this palace will not hesitate to promote her for the emperor's sake, but she doesn't want to serve the emperor well, but she does such an evil thing, it is really intolerable under the law of the country, come here, go and call the Song family!"
She wants to dig out Concubine Zheng through the Song family, whether it is the queen or me, they will not believe that the Song family is the real mastermind behind the scenes.
However, how could the Song family tell the truth so easily.
When Song saw the shivering well-off who was tied, his expression was panicked, his legs softened without obeying the call, and his face turned pale.
When the queen saw her like this, she immediately understood that the Song family knew that the matter was 'exposed', and slapped the table and shouted: "Song family, you are guilty!"
"The queen spares her life, the queen spares her life. Song was in tears, obviously unable to even refute.
"It's good to know that you beg for mercy, this dog slave has confessed, but this palace thinks, you are just a little Baolin, and you have no grievances with Concubine Rao, how can you do such a vicious thing, say it quickly, who instructed you to poison Concubine Rao's imperial heir, if you are willing to say it, this palace will ask the emperor to spare your life. The queen threw the confession in front of the Song clan and said sharply, "You need to know how big the crime of murdering the emperor's heir is, but it will be connected by the five clans!"
Song's face changed several times, and he asked in a trembling voice: "If the concubine says it, can you really forgive the concubine's clansmen!"
The queen nodded impatiently: "If what you say is true, this palace will ask the emperor for forgiveness!"
"I said, I said. Song quickly said the name of the person he was expecting.
The queen showed a relieved smile on her face, but I felt a little strange, this Song family was so spineless, and it hadn't been recruited yet, but thinking about it, the sin of destroying the five clans was not something she could bear if she wanted to, she could not want her own life, but the family could not give it up.
I coughed lightly and said, "Queen Mother, the concubine is a little unwell, and she wants to go back first." "The queen has asked the Song family to write a confession and ordered someone to find Zheng Guifei, I don't want to wait here for Zheng Guifei to attack me.
The queen nodded, and told me to go back and rest, I retreated, and just met Concubine Zheng on the road, she almost ignored me, and I didn't care, Gu Yu muttered: "See how long you can be proud!"
Although Concubine Zheng was not proud for long, she was not too disappointed.
In the evening, Qiheng dragged a tired body to come to me, this is the first time he has come to Penglai Mountain for so long, sat down and drank a cup of tea, and asked, "Are you used to living!"
I smiled and said, "Zuo is just like this, but I don't dare to use any more incense, otherwise, no matter how good a place to live, I will be afraid!"
He raised his eyes, stared into my eyes, and asked in surprise, "Why are your eyes so red and swollen!"
The chili water was so powerful that I just wanted to use it to induce a few tears, but not only did I not stop crying, but I washed it with water several times after I came back, and my eyes are still red and swollen.
I lowered my head and whispered, "The concubine was scared, so she cried!"
He was stunned for a moment, and said, "I thought you weren't such a crying 'sex'. After a pause, he said again: "Crying is not good for children, don't cry in the future!"
I raised my head to look at him again and asked, "Yes, the concubine is still pregnant with the emperor's child, so, may I ask how the emperor is going to give the concubine justice, this matter can be regarded as human and material evidence!"
He didn't speak for a long time, just knocked on the table with his knuckles over and over again, making a monotonous "tuk-tuk" sound, I laughed self-deprecatingly, and said: "That's it, the concubine doesn't want to embarrass the emperor, in fact, to talk about it, the matter of the little wealth around the concubine last time is also regarded as human and material evidence, hehe, as long as the emperor doesn't want to kill someone in this world, no matter how heinous it is, I'm afraid he won't die!"
"Auntie, this matter is not as simple as you think. His tone was unkind, and his eyes became sharp.
I felt a pang in my heart, and sneered: "It's really not simple, there is a prominent family, and there is a prince who the emperor likes, and the emperor will not pursue her no matter which side he cares about!"
Qi Heng frowned and shouted, "It's good if you know!"
I was angry, biting my lower lip and lowering my eyes, so that he would not see the anger in my eyes.
He stood up, put his hands in his hands, turned his back to me, and said, "I will deal with this matter at my discretion, you just have to take care of your body and ignore the rest." With that, he strode away.
I looked at his departing figure, and I didn't breathe for a long time.
Later, I listened to Wei Zitou's 'dew', Zheng Guifei flatly denied that he instructed the Song family to send musk, and the emperor also felt that the evidence was insufficient, so he only gave the Song family and Xiaokang to death, and only said to the outside world that Zheng Guifei was in poor health, and was temporarily exempted from the right to associate the six palaces, and was well maintained in the palace, and everything else was as usual.
I have been in danger of being poisoned many times, and the hard-won flesh and bone in my belly almost left me, but in exchange for it, I only grounded her and lost the right to associate the six palaces.
I clenched my palms, thinking of what Qi Heng said in front of me that night, a chill flowed through my heart, sometimes, I didn't dare to think about it, if my baby was really killed by Concubine Zheng, would the emperor avenge our child.
