Concubine Lin suddenly appeared in front of her, and Wu Daoqing hurriedly took three steps back, so as not to collide with your lord.

"Wait!" Concubine Lin's voice was full of emotion, her cross arm stopped, and a face under her reddish eyes seemed to have starry tears, raised her chin, and said with her usual arrogance: "Your Majesty, Chun Jiao is the personal maid of the concubine, and before the examination of Imperial Physician Wu, the concubine wanted to ask her a few words in person." ”

It is not very effective to cry and cry again as a person who is often weak, but Concubine Lin has no one in her eyes all the year round, and never shows weakness, she just looked at the emperor with a stubborn gaze, and a tear stain still hung on the eyelashes at the corner of her eye, which suddenly made the emperor seem to remember the woman in red with stubborn eyes when she first saw her, and she actually felt a little pity.

The emperor was silent for a moment, waved his hand and motioned for Wu Daoqing to retreat and wait, Concubine Lin bowed silently to the emperor, and then walked to the kneeling spring cricket step by step.

The row of palace maids is still in place, the position of the spring cricket is the first at the other end, Concubine Lin is not fast, step by step there is obviously no footsteps, but it is indeed like stepping on the heart of the spring cricket, pounding non-stop.

"Spring cricket, this palace treats you well." Concubine Lin's pursed red lips seemed to have been beaten by the frost of early winter, with a sense of coldness, she lowered her eyes and locked the kneeling spring cricket, and opened her mouth in a very solemn voice, "Now they are all suspicious of you, you tell Bengong honestly, did you do it?" ”

The ten fingers of the spring cricket lying on the ground tightly picked at the jade-colored slate, the fingers were blue to white, and the green tendons on the back of the hand burst out, making the whole hand tremble slightly, "Niangniang, slave maid......"

Concubine Lin raised her two eyebrows together, and at the same time covered a layer of haze, her eyes were deep, and she said sharply: "Let's talk about it after thinking about it!" If you didn't do it, this palace would naturally make the decision for you, but if you had two hearts and did something behind your back, you should weigh whether your relatives outside the palace would suffer because of you. ”

The whole body of the spring cricket shook, and Ai Ai raised her head, the tears in her eyes flowed out, biting her lip not to cry, and muttering incoherently: "Slave, slave......"

"Wei Hongyuan was confused for a while, but he deserved it, he killed the fetus of the crown princess, and he is also the future grandson of the palace, the palace has clear grievances, and he pities his family innocently, so he doesn't care, even if it is to pray for the unblessed grandson of the palace." Concubine Lin raised her head and looked up, as if she was looking at the vast sky through the ceiling, a sigh overflowed from her mouth, and she said faintly: "This palace is now, I want to find out who else is besides Wei Hongyuan and Sang Zhaoyuan, why that person can enter and leave the East Palace freely, and can silently change the prescription for the crown princess without arousing suspicion." ”

The tears of the spring cricket were still falling down, but with Concubine Lin's words, her body slowly calmed down, not as much as she trembled, and the fear that was originally expressed in her eyes gradually faded, but it was replaced by a kind of sadness and firmness that was more sad than dead.

"!" The spring cricket crawled on her knees, rushed out and hugged Concubine Lin's legs, raised her head mournfully and cried: "It's a slave, a slave can't live with Niangniang...... Sang Zhaoyuan found the slave and maid, and asked the slave and maid to find an opportunity to replace Rong Ruokai's prescription, and said, and said that the two prescriptions are not much different, that is, they add more medicine, and it will not be good, but the princess may be a little uncomfortable at that time, and when she turns around, she will ask Rong Ruo to take some lessons. ”

Chun Yan wiped away her tears, took two breaths, and continued, "The slave really doesn't know...... If the slave and maid knew that the princess would have a miscarriage after eating the recipe, the slave and maid would not listen to Sang Zhaoyuan's words when she died, Ah Niangniang, the slave and maid have followed the maid for so many years, there is no merit and hard work, the slave and maid really have no intention of harming the princess and the imperial heir, it is all to mislead Sang Zhaoyuan, so that it is a big mistake, the slave and the maid now know that the death penalty is inescapable, can the slave and maid see that the slave and maid serve the maid and let my family go, they are also innocent......"

Concubine Lin was shocked on the spot, she couldn't come back to her senses for a long time, her eyes slowly turned, she withdrew her gaze to the ceiling and moved down, and said in a daze: "What did you say?" Did you do it? ”

"Yes, Imperial Physician Wei is also a slave maid who took advantage of everyone's inattention to stab with a hairpin, and the slave maid originally thought that Sang Zhaoyuan was executed by the emperor, and the world would be peaceful, but Imperial Physician Wei ...... At the beginning, it was the slave maid that Imperial Doctor Wei asked people to contact, and even Sang Zhaoyuan didn't know it. The spring cricket was full of pain and curled up at the feet of Concubine Lin, "The slave and maid were afraid that Imperial Doctor Wei would recruit the slave and maid, and the slave and maid injured him with a hairpin that had been smeared with poison in advance, which was seamless, but I didn't expect it to ...... "The sky net is restored and negligent but not leaky, and no matter how secret the evil things are, there is always God knows."

Concubine Lin was deeply shocked, she never expected that it was the people around her who colluded with outsiders, she pushed away the spring cricket violently, and her angry eyes were red: "Why did you do this?" What benefits did Sang Zhaoyuan promise you? ”

"It's the crown princess." Chun Yan closed his eyes, and his face with the light on his back was full of gloom, "The slave and maid went to the spring to ask the princess to punish her, and she accumulated depression in her heart, when Wei Hongyuan found the slave and maid, the slave and maid were a little angry, and they made this unforgivable mistake." After saying this, it seemed that the strength of the whole person of the spring cricket was all withdrawn out of thin air, the body fell softly, the eyes opened a slit, and he looked at Concubine Lin with pity, and murmured: "Niangniang, the slave and maid can't live with you, although the slave and maid are harmless, but they can do harmful things, and the slave and maid are not blessed to stay by your side anymore, and ...... hope."

Concubine Lin's pupils shrank suddenly, and she watched the spring cricket squirt out a mouthful of blood, her face turned black and purple, and she used her last strength to say, "The next life...... Again, I will serve you again...... "Jiangsu Literature Network

"Spring crickets?" Concubine Lin looked at the big pool of blood on the ground with trembling pupils, took a step forward, her fingers wanted to stretch out to touch the spring cricket, and then withdrew it halfway, her eyes were complicated, hatred and pain kept colliding, like a heavy stone pressing on her heart, making her almost breathless, and she was stunned on the spot, until after the examination of Imperial Doctor Wu, she could find her voice, and asked herself: "Why is this?" ”

Pets have been raised for a long time to deal with some feelings, not to mention that the spring cricket is doing everything by Concubine Lin's side, everything is thoughtful, after Concubine Lin is used to it, there is no shortage of Dong Lai and Spring Cricket around her, at first glance when she hears Rong Ruo pointing to the spring cricket, she naturally does not believe it, everyone has one or two loyal and powerful subordinates around her, Spring Cricket and Dong Lai are equivalent to Duan Yi next to Mu Beichen, Mu Liangcheng and Black Dove, and the prince's secret guard Chen Lin.

"Back to the emperor, the poison on the spring cricket is exactly the same as that in the Imperial Physician Wei just now, judging from the powder left at the corner of her lips, she took the initiative to swallow it." It's just that no one knows that there is still poisonous powder hidden on the spring cricket, which should be a very secret place, otherwise Imperial Doctor Wu and the palace maids will definitely be able to find it when they check it.

One was murdered, the other committed suicide, and two people died in front of the emperor, and the emperor's face was gloomy and dripping, "You mean, she committed suicide in fear of sin?" ”

Wu Daoqing bowed his head and bowed: "Lao Chen can only be sure that she swallowed poison powder and died, as for the rest, Lao Chen is not a criminal prison officer, so I can't be sure." ”

"Don't be sad, mother." The prince hugged Concubine Lin and comforted: "Erchen believes in Chun Yan's loyalty to his mother, but in the end, selfishness prevails, and the mother doesn't have to feel sorry for her." ”

Concubine Lin took a deep breath, shook her body, grabbed the prince's arm to steady, her eyelids drooped down, and finally recovered from the shock of the blood, and said with a gloomy face: "Bengong just didn't expect that it was her, she knew how much Bengong looked forward to the arrival of her children and grandchildren, how could she do such a thing." ”

At this point, the evidence of Sang Zhaoyuan and Wei Hongyuan's collusion to murder the crown princess is conclusive, and Sang Zhaoyuan also got the end he deserved, but Wei Hongyuan let the spring cricket who was afraid of being confessed by him kill him, and finally the spring cricket had to commit suicide to apologize, in order to ask Concubine Lin to protect the family.

It seems that the dust has fallen, all the mysteries have been solved, and the ending is that one life in the crown princess's belly will be repaid with three lives, or more, at least the right-hand men around Sang Zhaoyuan and Wei Hongyuan can't escape.

Concubine Lin took off a string of Buddhist beads from her wrist and hung it on her thumb, clasped her hands together in the palms of her hands, faced the window, looked at the sky, and sighed: "Your Majesty, the smell of blood in the palace today is too strong, and the concubine wants to pray for her grandson, don't let the blood stain his way to heaven, and ask the emperor to let those innocent people go." ”

Concubine Yi pursed her smiling red lips, looked down at her carefully trimmed nails painted with peony red, and did not speak. Concubine Yi is not a person who will only blindly coquettish and does not know how to advance and retreat, no matter what she says at this time, it will seem mean, so it is better not to say it.

After hearing this, Concubine Jin nodded and agreed: "There is a saying in the world, and compassion does not kill. Although some of them have done evil and iniquity, and some have died and their debts have been removed, their families are innocent. Moreover, among the three of them, except for Sang Zhaoyuan, who is stubborn and has the intention to harm others, Wei Hongyuan and Chunjiao have been deceived a lot, not a big traitor, but just selfishness, since Concubine Lin is tolerant, why didn't the emperor go along with her, so that Concubine Lin could ask for peace. ”

The reason why Concubine Jin did this extra and helped Concubine Lin to speak, she still had an idea in her heart, that is, the New Year is approaching, it is not appropriate to kill on a large scale, and see more blood, after all, the blood flow vegetable market has not been long.

However, if Concubine Jin didn't say anything, the emperor would not know, and it was precisely because he thought about this that he did not make up his mind immediately, and the atmosphere was strangely quiet for a while.

"It turns out that Concubine Lin is also a person who believes in Buddhism, are you singing for the spring cricket now?" In the strange silence, Rong Ruo's smiling voice was particularly abrupt, and she said with curiosity on her face, as if she really had a question: "However, it is not safe to harm people." ”

The prince wanted to speak and stopped, and looked helplessly at Mu Beichen who was standing on the side - although the two of them had a disagreement with each other, but at this moment, when the mother concubine was sad, Miss Rong's sarcasm was a little too much.

The undisguised disgust in Concubine Lin's eyes, an expression of not wanting to talk to Rong Ruo, but this couldn't stop Rong Ruo from continuing-

"It's better to wait for Concubine Lin Niangniang, the folk girl invited a person who is very experienced in chanting, let her come and tell Niangniang how about it?"
