Chapter 2 Tea and Smoke

This flower mist was covered with whip marks, obviously knowing how many times she had been beaten, and the torture was useless to her.

Buxian said: "Say everything you know, and write a confession and put a handprint, I will go to ask my father to let you go, leave this palace and fly with your beloved." ”

A glimmer of light flashed in Hua Mist's eyes, and it disappeared in an instant, and she cried: "Master, you and I both know who you are against, even the emperor can't help her, what if you take the confession." She told me that she only needs the life of the princess, and she can save your life if you are obedient, I am all for your good, I entered the house at the age of eight, and you were only twelve years old at that time, and I have a friendship with you for twelve years, I am afraid that you will encounter accidents, and I can only grieve the princess......"

I don't feel that it's funny, it's a far-fetched reason, but obviously Concubine Rong has been moved, and she has tears in her eyes, and she wants to cry.

didn't want to leave trouble, so he pulled up Concubine Rong to leave: "Mother concubine, let's go, she doesn't have half a word of truth in her mouth, but she just tricked you and me into coming, and wants you to let her go." Don't fall for her tricks. ”

Hua Wu didn't give up, and said loudly: "Niangniang, master, don't go, you have to leave, they will torture me to death, Niangniang, I will be thrown into the mass grave after I die, Niangniang, you can't bear to watch me die without a place to be buried, become that lonely ghost......"

The more envy pulled Rong Guifei away, the more miserable Hua Wu screamed behind him.

In the past, the scenes of the master and servant getting along appeared in front of him, the mournful roar was in his ears, and the ground in the aisle of the violent room was pitted, and Concubine Rong was in a state of confusion, and she stepped on the air without paying attention and threw herself to the ground. Even with envy, he fell.

Sure enough, when she returned to the main hall of Pingzhuo Palace, Concubine Rong persuaded Emperor Xuanzhen to open the net and spare Huawu's life.

Emperor Xuanzhen didn't nod or shirk, his eyes were slightly closed and he didn't envy: "What do you think?" ”

Buxian glanced at Concubine Rong, her pleading look overflowed on her face, and Buxian had to bow her head: "What the mother thinks is what I think, then follow what the mother said and let him go." But death can avoid the crime of life, after all, she did collude with assassins to assassinate the princess, and she personally admitted that the grandmother in the dark court was all human witnesses. ”

Emperor Xuanzhen suddenly opened his eyes: "Really?!" ”

Buxian nodded: "Yes." But father, the mother has never asked you for anything, this time she has come to beg you, and you will follow the mother concubine. The son-in-law also didn't want to be instigated by the adulterer, so that the mother and I were disliked. So, it's all up to the mother's concubine. ”

Rong Guifei's crystal tears filled her eyes, and she was shaking: "Xian'er, with your words, the mother concubine ...... the mother"

He smiled back to show comfort, and said, "The death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped." It's just exile, it's too cheap for her. ”

"What do you think?" Emperor Xuanzhen asked.

"Punishment, four words, traitor seeking glory." The words of envy are very light, but the words are affirmed and resolute after deliberation.

Emperor Xuanzhen was as calm as promised: "Is there anything else?" ”

Buxian shook his head.

…………

Buxian wanted to go back to Shouxi Palace, and Concubine Rong offered to give her a ride.

On the way, Concubine Rong ordered the palace people to follow from afar, but she didn't speak for a long time.

The two of them crossed the Jasper Lake, it was already twilight, and the surface of the lake was filled with a faint yellow luster, like a string of gold silk ribbons swaying in the wind.

Buxian stopped and asked, "Mother, does this lake need to be taken care of by the palace people?" ”

Rong Guifei looked in the direction of her finger: "That's naturally necessary, otherwise this place will be ruined and barren." ”

"Then who else was dragged to the bottom of the lake by the water ghosts?" Don't envy and ask again.

Concubine Rong was stunned for a moment, covered with gloomy clouds, and did not speak.

"I've been thinking about it today, why except for Concubine Liang's son, the murder of the fourth prince was caused by Erchen, I was present when Wei Zhaoyi was killed, and Meng Jieyu's miscarriage had nothing to do with me. Could it be that the matter of the emperor's heir was really done by the mother? Am I just a pawn for my mother to eradicate dissidents and compete for favor and love? ”

"No, I didn't, I've never done anything that hurts God." Concubine Rong blurted out.

Buxian smiled bitterly: "Of course I believe you, but have you ever wondered why it is so coincidental every time?" Is it really my life or your life, see one and kill the other. Or is someone who knows the whereabouts of the two of us and deliberately arranged it? ”

Rong Guifei was speechless for a long time, and when she spoke again, her voice was already hoarse, and she saw her fingers tightly curled up the embroidered brocade handkerchief in her hand, as if she was about to tear it apart, and said sadly: "Don't envy, what you want to say, you can just say it." ”

"I asked the imperial grandmother, and I also interrogated the upper and lower levels of the Ripple Palace, the imperial grandmother protects you tightly, and as soon as something happened to the Ripple Palace, she sent the suspicious palace people away, and replaced them with reliable ones. In this way, the palace people of Ripple Palace also changed two or three rounds, and the only one who has not been replaced is Huamist. Mother, do you still pity Huawu? "Don't look up at Concubine Rong directly, her eyes are clear.

"Then why didn't you mention it in front of the emperor?"

"I'm not sure yet, it's just speculation. Besides, if I tell my father this, not to mention that Hua Wu has no place to be buried, even her entire clan may not be spared. No king can tolerate a subordinate who fools himself and mutilates his heir. Besides, the mother concubine is single-minded to keep the flower mist, why do I refute your face? I have already thought about it, in the future, although you are kind, I will do the bad guys, and I will protect you. I don't envy these words, I say them lightly, but every word is fine, and my voice is in the marrow.

Rong Guifei knelt down and hugged Buxian, burying her face in Buxian's small neck, her face was very hot, and her voice was a little sad: "Xian'er, my child ......", back and forth just these two sentences.

I don't know that Concubine Rong must be aggrieved and sad at this time, wronged that she has suffered so many grievances, and the friendship between master and servant for twelve years is all betrayal, and she doesn't forget to calculate her at the end. Buxian also cried sadly, and reached out to wrap his hand around Rong Guifei's shoulder.

I don't know how long it took, Cha Yan stepped forward, bowed his hand and bowed his waist and said carefully: "Guifei Niangniang, it's not too early, you better go back to the palace earlier, the emperor has already sent the chamberlain to come two or three times, saying that the emperor sent you back, and the emperor should have been waiting for you for a while." ”

Bu Xian pressed against Concubine Rong's cheek, and said in a childish voice: "Mother, I should also go back to the Shouxi Palace, otherwise the imperial grandmother will be in a hurry, she is not an old man, and she will always worry about me." Recently, the imperial grandmother is often in a daze and forgetful, and she is always sleepy and confused. This time the Ripple Palace is on fire, just so you will accompany your father more, and I will accompany the imperial grandmother for you and your father to make her happy. ”

Concubine Rong raised her head suddenly, with tears on her face, and she asked if she was envious: "Xian'er, the fire in the Ripple Palace, did you do it?" ”

was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "What are you kidding, what nonsense, how can I be?" ”

Concubine Rong hugged Buxian again and kissed her heavily on the forehead: "Good boy, then you go quickly, the concubine is also gone." ”

…………

Concubine Rong walked away, and Cha Yan asked in a nervous whisper: "Princess, shouldn't she be discovered?" ”

He waved his hand: "No, it's just suspicion." We planned so carefully that we hid paper money and incense candles behind the room under the Ripple Palace. The fire burned so much that the people of Zongzheng Temple saw the remnants of paper money and incense candles left in the next room, and contacted that someone in the northeast corner was indeed burning paper money and incense candles that night, and those concubines naturally couldn't run away. As for saying that I set fire to the palace, how many people believe it? Rong Guifei and I were sleeping soundly when the fire broke out, who would dare to look for death like this? ”

"Then why let the flower mist go? Isn't the princess afraid to let the tiger go back to the mountain? ”

Buxian smiled: "I want to see if her sweetheart is worth her life, after she is black-faced, if that man really marries her, I will sincerely bless them." If that man starts to give up, how do you think Huawu will retaliate against him? ”
