Chapter 76: Suicide
Tian Guangfeng kept explaining with remorse, "The villain didn't expect her to die, it's all the villain's fault, if he hadn't stopped the master from coming to the court last night, maybe he would have been able to see her." Villain...... I didn't expect ......."
Fu Yingran closed his eyes and spit deeply, impatiently interrupting Tian Guangfeng's voice.
"Okay, I want to be quiet now."
The crescent moon glared at Tian Guangfeng resentfully, pulled him far away and continued to count, his voice was lowered, and he was careful not to disturb the master.
"If you hadn't talked too much, sometimes saying that it was dark, and sometimes saying that you were hungry, the master would have seen someone last night. It's all your troubles! ”
"I didn't mean to, and I can't be prophetic. I want to know that I will definitely not stop my master. ”
Tian Guangfeng scratched his head, looking aggrieved.
"Who knew that she was so unblessed, she suffered so many grievances, but she didn't suffer this night."
The crescent moon and Tian Guangfeng were talking in the distance, and Fu Yingran stood alone by the daunting well, his eyes deep.
When they arrived at the court early this morning, they saw only a corpse.
The corpse had just been fished up from the well, soaked all night, and was already swollen and white.
The slaves and maids in the court were all frightened, and they retreated, afraid to approach.
The result of the investigation was suicide.
That palace maid has always been squeezed out by other palace maids in the court, and she is always bullied on weekdays, and she was stripped of her clothes and humiliated in public last night, and she jumped into the well without thinking about it.
Fu Yingran was noncommittal about this conclusion, and he had a greasy intuition in it, and he didn't believe that it was just pure self-defeat.
The timing is too coincidental.
She just remembered this palace maid, but after waiting all night, the person died.
It's as if someone got the news in advance and killed someone......
Thinking of this, Fu Yingran's cold eyes narrowed, not knowing what he was thinking, revealing a dangerous aura.
But the more this is the case, the more she is sure that there is an ulterior secret about the poisoning of the former queen.
……
In the Fukang Palace, a group of luxurious ladies with fragrant clothes and sideburns entered together to greet the Queen Mother.
The palace maids rushed in to serve tea and retreated respectfully.
There was a fresh face in a pomegranate red embroidered Chaoyang peony skirt in the seat, and a jeweled hair ornament was inserted on the head, and the whole person was as bright and flamboyant as the sun.
This is exactly Hu Jiao'e, who won the first place in performance at the spring banquet two days ago.
Hu Huan'e is Hu Xiangguo's niece, her status is noble, and she is Huan'e as soon as she enters the palace, which is higher than many concubines who have been with the emperor for many years.
So now she is the latest enemy of the harem women, and Fu Yingran has been squeezed to the back.
A series of jealous eyes swept over her, bold or subtle, and they whispered their words, mostly talking about this newly favored Hu Jiao'e.
The Queen Mother played with a string of crystal bracelets in her hand, leaned on the table, and listened to everyone leisurely.
There is a bowl of fragrant and hot sesame paste on the small table at hand, and I eat it from time to time.
Xian Meiren suddenly brought up a new topic, "I heard that yesterday, the queen of Fengqi Palace asked His Majesty to go to the Taimiao to guard the soul to atone for her past mistakes. ”
As soon as these words came out, it was like throwing a string of firecrackers in the hall, which caught everyone off guard.
"Is there such a thing?"
Even Emi, who was good friends with her, didn't know the news, and asked uncertainly.
Xian Mei said, "I just heard about it, and I don't really know it. ”
said that he glanced at the Queen Mother from time to time, and it was clear that he wanted to seek accurate information from the Queen Mother.
For a while, all the concubines looked at the Queen Mother carefully, expecting what the Queen Mother would say, is this true or false?
The queen is the lord of the harem, and the queen's movements are related to the direction of the entire harem.
It was said before that the queen was going to be abolished, why did she suddenly go to the Taimiao to guard the spirit, what is the idea?
Is this posterior still in vain?
The Queen Mother ate sesame paste elegantly, as if she didn't see everyone's hopeful and inquiring eyes.
Everyone couldn't get an answer, and they turned their attention to Shu Jieyu.
The ending of the queen actually has little to do with most of the concubines, and the most important one is Shu Jieyu.
In the hearts of the concubines and even most of the ministers of the previous dynasty, the queen was deposed, and the next queen should naturally be Shu Jieyu.
Shu Jieyu is not only of good character and has a deep sacred heart, but also raises the eldest princess and is pregnant with the imperial heir, no matter from that point of view, she is the best candidate for the queen.
But if the queen goes to the Taimiao to guard the spirit, I am afraid that the throne will not change hands for a while.
If the queen is not abolished, the one who has the greatest influence and cares about the most should be Shu Jieyu.
Everyone looked at Shu Jieyu, but found that her eyebrows didn't move, and she always gently stroked her stomach with a motherly face.
"It's your own, it's your own after all, and if it's not your own, you can't ask for it."
She said this with a smile and stopped talking.
It seems that he is not affected by everyone at all, and he doesn't care about whether the queen is abolished or not, and whether he can sit in the back seat.
Fu Yingran sat quietly on the side and watched the excitement, and sighed more and more that Shu Jieyu was different, no wonder the emperor liked her so much.
Even if you don't fight or grab it, with such a lot of power and dignity in front of you, it is difficult to keep your mind calm like water.
Regardless of whether Shu Jieyu really doesn't care or pretends not to care, it is very admirable!
"A woman who is not liked by the emperor, no matter whether she goes back to her parents' house or goes to the Taimiao to guard the spirit, it can't change the fact that she is rejected. She likes to go wherever she wants, and she doesn't care what she does. ”
Everyone was silent, and Hu Jiao'e suddenly opened her mouth, and she was as flamboyant as she looked.
As soon as these words came out, the hall fell into an even more awkward silence, and a needle drop could be heard.
Hu Jiao'e also ate two mouthfuls of sesame paste sent by the palace maid disappreciatively, but her arrogant gaze fell on Fu Yingran beside the queen mother, her pupils constricted, and the corners of her mouth hooked up a playful arc.
"When I came in, I saw that the face of the county lord of Yunsang was not very good. Where did the county lord just come from? ”
Fu Yingran looked at her malicious smile, and his heart moved, did this person know something, or saw something?
When the Queen Mother heard this, she turned her head and looked at Fu Yingran seriously, and said with concern, "But where is it uncomfortable, do you want to ask the imperial doctor to take a look?" ”
Fu Yingran smiled and shook his head, "I'm fine." It's just that I saw the dead man, and I was a little frightened. ”
Suddenly talking about the dead, the people in the hall were shocked.
Shu Jieyu's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she gently stroked her stomach on the ground, as if she was comforting the frightened child in her stomach.
But her stomach hasn't even shown her pregnancy yet, so she can find something.
"What's going on?"
The Queen Mother also asked nervously, but her dark eyes were unfathomable, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
Fu Yingran didn't seem to see the meaningful emotion in her eyes, and said as if she was afraid, "Ye Ting died a palace maid last night, jumped into a well and died, and when she was fished up, everyone was swollen, her skin was almost transparent, her eyes were wide open, and she couldn't blink to death, which was terrifying." ”
Fu Yingran spoke vividly, his face was full of fear, and he also frightened the people in the hall a lot.
These concubines are all golden branches and jade leaves, and they have a golden body, where can they hear these words, and their faces immediately change.
The Queen Mother kept turning the crystal bracelet in her hand, looking at Fu Yingye with a look of concern, and her thin lips collapsed into a straight line.
