Chapter 125: The princess is eloquent
Xiangfu's forehead and neck were wrapped around a thick circle of gauze, faintly oozing a little scarlet blood, taking advantage of a pale face to become a little more touching and morbid.
She looked up and smiled and motioned for Su Yunrong to sit down: "It's so late, it's hard for Miss Su to go this way." However, there are many people in the palace of the king of Chu, so he has to do this in order to avoid people's eyes and ears. ”
"If Your Highness has any orders, just say it."
"Miss Su is fast-talking, and the slave doesn't go around in circles. The news that I was forced to commit suicide by the princess will soon reach the ears of the queen, and the queen will definitely summon the princess into the palace for questioning, Miss Su must follow, and sue her for the crime of 'disrespecting the queen'! Also, I heard that the emperor was assassinated last night, and His Royal Highness suspected that it was the prince of Chu who sent someone to do it, and Miss Su also wanted to mention it in front of the queen. ”
Su Yunrong's eyes widened in surprise: "The emperor has been assassinated?" Where did you get the news? ”
Xiangfu lowered his eyes and smiled, and said softly and weakly: "The slave maid has her own way of communicating with His Highness, this news must not be wrong!" His Royal Highness said that as long as Miss Su can help him bring down the prince of Chu, the future throne will definitely be yours! ”
"I know, don't worry, even if it is to deal with Su Yunruo's slut, I will never show mercy! By the way, you can ask Your Highness for me, when can I meet him? I...... I have some things that I must say to Your Highness in person. ”
"The slave will tell His Royal Highness for Miss Su, the hour is not early, Miss Su go back quickly, so as not to be seen."
Xiangfu got up and sent her out, her eyes getting cold little by little - idiot! A chess piece dares to be favored by His Highness, and he doesn't know how thick the sky is!
After two days of calm, the queen's decree was sent to the palace of the king of Chu, and Su Yunruo was specially ordered to enter the palace immediately.
She exchanged glances with Xie Feiqing, and guessed in her heart that the queen's summons was mostly for the sake of Xiangfu, but she had no way to shirk it, so she had to respectfully accept the order.
Su Yunrong followed behind her inch by inch, said goodbye to the queen, and went to the palace in a sedan chair.
As soon as he entered Cining Palace, a low pressure was overwhelming, and Su Yunruo leaned over to salute as usual, but after a long time, the queen did not speak.
Her kneeling legs were numb, and she couldn't help but raise her voice again and said respectfully: "The concubine Chu Wangfu Su family greets the queen!" ”
The queen looked down at her condescendingly, and said indifferently: "Is Princess Chu's voice so loud to scare the palace to death?" Hongu is not deaf yet, but his ears can hear! ”
"The concubine never meant this, she just sincerely asked the mother for peace."
"No matter how humble your background was in the past, since you married into the Chu Palace, you must have the rules, otherwise you won't let the people of the world laugh at you? I heard that the princess was quite dissatisfied with the incense given by the palace, and forced her to die to prove her innocence, but is there such a thing? ”
"Yes! The queen is graceful! Without waiting for her to speak, Su Yunrong took the lead and said urgently: "My sister is jealous of Miss Xiangfu's youth and beauty, for fear that she will share the favor of the prince, so she wronged Miss Xiangfu for having unclean hands and feet, which forced people to commit suicide in public!" ”
"Queen Mother, although the courtiers and the princess are sisters, but if something like this happens, the courtiers don't dare to favor her! Good jealousy has already committed seven rules, not to mention that Miss Xiangfu is still the person you reward, no matter what, she should also take care of your face! But she wants to go her own way, and the courtiers really can't stand it! ”
The queen looked at Su Yunrong's inexplicable lips coldly: "The last time you entered the palace, you beat Princess Roujia in this palace, and this palace thought you were an uneducated, but I didn't expect you to have such knowledge." ”
Su Yunrong hurriedly kowtowed, and said with sincere fear: "The courtier really didn't know the identity of the eldest princess at that time, otherwise even if the courtier had a hundred guts, she wouldn't dare to offend the princess!" ”
"Get up, it's rare that you're a sensible child."
"Thank you for your kindness! Queen Mother, my sister was arrogant before she got married, and she didn't know how thick she was after marrying the prince of Chu. If she shouldn't say something, it's nothing for her to slander and humiliate Miss Xiangfu, and a while ago she also drove her mother-in-law to Zhuangzi outside Beijing. How can such a despicable woman be worthy of marrying a royal clan? ”
"And such a thing? It's unheard of! Princess Chu, are you guilty? ”
Su Yunruo watched them sing and harmonize coldly, and lowered her eyebrows and lowered her eyes: "The concubine doesn't know which criminal is, it is not appropriate for Xiangfu to appear in the prince's study in the middle of the night, the concubine neither beat her nor scolded her, it is already for the sake of the queen's mother's face, otherwise it would not have been spared if she trespassed into the prince's study." Miss Xiangfu must have felt guilty in her heart, and felt that she had the grace of her mother, so she committed suicide to apologize. ”
"You quibble! Miss Xiangfu is the person rewarded by the queen's mother, where can she not go in this palace? ”
"The queen's mother and mother will take care of the harem in an orderly manner, which is extremely important to etiquette, and she will not want to be reckless in the palace with the banner of the mother! The concubine's severe punishment of Xiangfu is also for the reputation of the mother, please let the mother know! ”
The dark light in the queen's eyes became deeper and deeper: "It is said that Princess Chu can speak well, and she really deserves her reputation, and this palace can be regarded as a teacher today." According to what you say, this palace still has to thank you? ”
"It's all within the concubine's share, and I can't afford the word 'thanks' from the queen's mother."
Su Yunrong clenched his fists tightly, and his eyes became more and more vicious: "There is nothing unsightly in the prince's study, why is it a big crime for Miss Xiangfu to go?" Could it be that there is something that the prince can't let others know? Oh, I heard that the emperor was assassinated a few days ago, should it be ......?"
Halfway through her words, the faces of everyone in the main hall changed slightly.
Su Yunruo's sharp eyes swept over her suddenly: "Sister, this is in the palace, you have to be cautious when you speak!" You know what the crime of framing the emperor's relatives is! ”
She pretended to be panicked and shrank for a moment, knelt at the queen's feet and whispered flatteringly: "Niangniang, there are some words that the courtiers don't vomit and are unhappy, but my sister is aggressive and wants to charge the courtiers with such a big crime, and the courtiers don't dare to say it." ”
"If you say it directly, no matter what you say, this palace will forgive you for your innocence."
"Yes!" Su Yunrong responded happily, and glanced at Su Yunruo proudly, "The prince of Chu has great military achievements, and his reputation among the people is extremely high, I heard that before the emperor ascended the throne, there were rumors that the first emperor intended to pass on the throne to the prince, and after the emperor ascended the throne, the four seas were peaceful, but no one knows whether the prince has the intention of plotting to usurp the throne......"
"Su Yunrong! Do you know what you're talking about? ”
