Chapter 12: The Death of Qian Qiaoqiao
Qiong'er's eyes were swollen like walnuts, and she walked in and knelt down.
"Qiong'er, after the ban of a thousand beauties is enough, who has been to Zhixiang Academy?" Yun Chuhan asked.
Qiong'er's voice was slightly hoarse: "Back to the prince, after the beauty was grounded, the Jiu'er girl next to the side concubine Niangniang came. I sent some healing herbs, and a bottle of good Jinchuang medicine. Later, the princess also came. ”
"When?" Yan Che asked.
"The afternoon of the beauty's suicide." After Qiong'er finished speaking, tears flowed out.
Yun Chuhan's eyes were sharp: "It is rumored that it was the princess who forced a thousand beauties to death. What did the princess do in Zhixiangin? ”
Qiong'er shook her head vigorously: "The slave doesn't know. Because the princess let the slaves and maidservants wait outside the house. It's just that after the princess left, the beauty didn't say a word. The slave maid thought that the beauty was in pain and didn't want to speak, who knows......"
Before Qiong'er finished speaking, she couldn't stop crying.
Yun Chuhan was in no mood to listen to her crying: "What did she say on the day the princess and Qianmei had a quarrel in the back garden?" ”
Qiong'er hurriedly wiped away her tears, tried to hold back her crying, and told what happened that day in a crying voice.
Qiong'er's words are similar to what Xiaocui said. It's just that there are more vicious words that have been away for a long time.
"Alright, you can go back first." Yun Chuhan felt distraught.
Only Yun Chuhan and Yan Che were left in the inner hall. Outside, it's late at night.
"Lord, the side concubine and the princess are sisters, and they are almost a few years apart. Why don't you ask the side concubine? Yan Che proposed.
Yun Chuhan nodded: "This king thinks so too. Their sisters have lived under the same roof for more than ten years and should know each other well. It's just that it's getting late today, and going now will disturb Xuan'er's rest. Tomorrow. ”
"It's not too early, so rest in peace. Retired from his position. Yan Che retreated.
The entire Chunhui Courtyard was even quieter, and there was not a trace of movement in silence.
Yun Chuhan was upset, and there was a fire in his heart, how could he sleep?
Yun Chuhan didn't want what the three maids said to be true. He didn't want such a person around him who was good at pretending to be evil-minded, because he hated such people. Why is Concubine De's health so bad? It's that when I was young, I was harmed by this kind of person.
If what they said was the truth, Yun Chuhan would never be able to keep such a person to continue to stay in the Chu Palace!
Following.
Yun Chuhan woke up early, had a simple breakfast, and saw that the time was about the same, and then got up and went to Chunlai Courtyard.
As soon as Li Moxuan put down her chopsticks, she saw Yun Chuhan walking in.
"The prince is late, and the concubine has eaten all the breakfast." Li Moxuan stood up with a smile and saluted.
Li Moxuan's gentle smile and naughty words suddenly made Yun Chuhan feel a lot more relaxed in his heart.
Even if all the women in the world are vicious, this king only needs Xuan'er to be enough. Yun Chuhan thought so, walked over and gently hugged her into his arms.
"What's the matter, lord?" Li Moxuan asked knowingly.
Yun Chuhan smiled and let go of his hand: "Xuan'er, sit." ”
The two sat down hand in hand.
"Xuan'er, this king has something to ask you. What kind of person is your sister, the princess? Yun Chuhan asked straight to the point.
Li Moxuan pretended to look evasive in her eyes, smiled, and said: "Sister, she is just like the prince has seen, and she has a gentle temperament. It's just that some people love to cry. ”
"Really?" Yun Chuhan told Li Moxuan what the maids said last night.
The smile on Li Moxuan's face slowly disappeared, and her face became solemn.
As soon as Yun Chuhan finished speaking, Li Moxuan suddenly stood up, walked to the side and knelt down.
"Xuan'er, what are you doing here? Something to say! Yun Chuhan hurriedly stood up and pulled her.
"Lord, you listen to me", Limoxuan didn't get up, "Xuan'er shouldn't deceive the prince." But she's my only sister after all! ”
After saying that, tears flowed out.
When Mo Xuan cried like this, Yun Chuhan was very distressed. He regretted it a little, he shouldn't have made her cry because of this kind of thing.
"Xuan'er, get up quickly!" Yun Chuhan pulled up Limoxuan, took out a handkerchief and gently wiped her tears.
"Xuan'er, you will feel distressed if you cry. It's all bad for this king, and I shouldn't ask you this kind of question. Yun Chuhan sighed and hugged her into his arms again.
Li Moxuan snuggled in Yun Chuhan's arms, revealing a sly smile, but the smile quickly disappeared.
"Lord Wang, sister, she lost her biological mother when she was a child. My father was busy with politics and couldn't manage it. Mother is a housekeeper and often can't take care of it. Even if you take care of it, you can't discipline it at will, otherwise you will end up with the reputation of a ruthless stepmother. As a result, my sister became what she is now. ”
Li Moxuan raised her head and looked at Yun Chuhan with teary eyes: "Lord, please spare my sister for Xuan'er's sake, okay?" Sister, she's really pitiful......"
Jiu'er on the side couldn't stand it anymore, frowned, and looked angry: "Miss, why are you still pleading for the eldest lady?" Miss forgot before, how did the eldest lady treat you? ”
Listening to Jiu'er say this, it seems that something happened before. Yun Chuhan just wanted to ask, but was preempted by Li Moxuan.
"Don't talk nonsense, it's none of your business here, let's go down first!"
"Miss!" Jiu'er looked extremely reluctant.
"Go down." Li Moxuan said sharply.
"Wait", Yun Chuhan opened his mouth, "Jiu'er, you say, this king wants to hear it." ”
Li Moxuan smiled and pulled Yun Chuhan's arm: "Lord Wang, Jiu'er is talking nonsense." All the things that were before are gone. ”
As soon as Li Moxuan said this, Yun Chuhan was even more sure of what Li Jiujiu had done before, and he had hurt Li Moxuan.
"Xuan'er, sit." Yun Chuhan pulled Li Moxuan to sit down again, then raised his head to look at Jiu'er and motioned for her to continue.
Jiu'er began to speak.
"Lord Wang, from childhood to adulthood, in front of people, the eldest lady is good to the young lady. All kinds of sisters' screams, delicious and fun, are all given to the young lady. But when no one is around, the eldest lady always pushes the young lady and robs the young lady's things. If she doesn't like something, she throws it in the water, or throws it on the ground and tramples on it. But when I turned my head, I told others that the young lady made it herself. ”
Li Moxuan smiled awkwardly and said to Yun Chuhan: "It's all children, just joking." Lord Wang, it's not a big deal. ”
"Jiu'er, go on." Yun Chuhan couldn't help but clench Li Moxuan's hand.
"Lord Wang, the eldest lady has always been like this. On the surface, he is weak and kind, but he bullies the young lady behind his back, and he speaks very viciously. Forget about the side, it's just that the young lady has a deep affection for the prince. The eldest lady found out, so she tried her best to enter the palace to please Concubine De, but she was the first. Originally, the lord had planned to enter the palace to ask the emperor for marriage. ”
Listening to Jiu'er's words, Yun Chuhan held Limoxuan's hand tighter.
Forget about the side, just to please Concubine De, Yun Chuhan is particularly disgusted. He married his sweetheart a year late, and he still couldn't give her the position of princess.
Thinking of this, Yun Chuhan's anger in his heart was almost irrepressible.
"Xuan'er, I've wronged you." Yun Chuhan stretched out his hand and brushed Li Moxuan's hair.
Li Moxuan smiled and shook her head: "As long as you can be with the prince, the concubine doesn't feel wronged." Jiu'er's words, the prince forgot about it after hearing it. My sister has a hard life, and she pities her if she wants to come to Concubine De. The concubines don't know how to flatter, but they just feel that what they are like in their hearts should be seen by others. ”
"She treats you like this, and you speak for her." Yun Chuhan hooked Mo Xuan's nose fondly.
"In the past, the concubine felt that the past was over, so why bother. After all, the concubine was also with the prince as she wished. Beside them, the concubines don't care. I also hope that Wang Ye Nian is suffering from his sister's life, so let this matter pass. As for whether my sister forced Sister Qiaoqiao to death, there is no evidence. Perhaps, my sister was actually kind enough to visit. Li Moxuan said coquettishly.
Yun Chuhan smiled dotingly: "You, you're too kind." ”
"By the way, the handkerchief that the prince used just now is very beautiful, and the concubine has never seen it before!"
Hearing what Li Moxuan said, Yun Chuhan took out the handkerchief and handed it to her: "A few days ago, this king passed by the market when he returned home. When I saw someone selling handkerchiefs, I thought I liked the bamboo and bought it. Wait for next time, can I buy a trick you like and come back? ”
Li Moxuan handed the handkerchief back to Yun Chuhan: "The prince has to talk about it." This handkerchief embroidery is very good, if it is a flower or bird, it will definitely be lifelike. ”
At this time, the messenger walked in: "Lord, Niangniang, Qiong'er from Zhixiang Academy said that she has something important to see." ”
"Let her come in quickly, maybe it has something to do with Sister Qiaoqiao's death." Li Moxuan said.
Joan walked in, her face full of tears. She threw herself to her knees and held up a white cloth with both hands, which looked red.
"Ask the prince to call the shots for the beauty!"
Yun Chuhan took it and opened it to see that it was a blood book. After he read it, he was furious!
Li Moxuan covered her mouth with a look of surprise: "Really, really my sister did it!" ”
As soon as Mo Xuan finished speaking, he closed his eyes and leaned back.
"Miss fainted!" Jiu'er was shocked.
Yun Chuhan hurriedly helped Li Moxuan: "Go and ask the imperial doctor!" ”

"Why does my right eyelid keep jumping?" Lijiujiu rubbed his eyes.
"Miss embroidered too much, and her eyes were naturally uncomfortable. According to the slave maid, let's rest for a few days. Bi Luo said with a smile.
Li Jiujiu sighed, and pretended to be helpless and shook his shoulders: "What can I do?" The more I embroider, the more I want to embroider. After embroidering one, I felt that I had completed the task. ”
At this moment, Lijiu and Biluo suddenly heard hurried footsteps outside.
"What's the sound?" Biluo was curious.
The footsteps came from far and near, and soon they arrived at the Winter Snow Courtyard.
When I saw a team of guards for a long time, I felt bad feelings in my heart.
"The prince has an order, from today onwards, the princess and the maid are not allowed to step out of the Winter Snow Courtyard!"
After the captain of the guard finished speaking, he closed the courtyard door. Lijiu and Biluo heard the sound of a lock.
"Why? You make it clear! Bi Luo wanted to rush over to ask for clarification, but was stopped by Lijiujiu.
"My mind is full of money, I have forgotten, in this kind of right and wrong place, you don't look for trouble, things come to you."
