Chapter 229: I Can Help You
And Concubine Jing didn't speak, just looked at Concubine Shu on the other side quietly.
After Concubine Shu said this, she was silent for a few seconds, and seeing that Concubine Jing had not spoken, she stood up and wanted to go inside.
"Although I can't guarantee that I will be able to help you bring down the Queen Mother, maybe I can do my best." Concubine Jing suddenly opened her mouth and looked at Concubine Shu and said, "You have to think about it, there will be no one else in this palace who is as kind as me except me." ”
"The palace can be full of intrigues and calculations, sisters can turn against each other, and mothers and sons can become enemies, but the last thing you should have is kindness." Concubine Shu suddenly looked up at Concubine Jing with a sharp gaze.
In this palace, every step is very hard, like walking a tightrope, and below is the abyss, and if you take a wrong step, you will never recover.
No one would be so kind.
After hearing this, Concubine Jing suddenly sneered: "This is natural, since I want to help you, I must want to get some benefits from you, but you don't need to give this benefit." ”
Don't need her to give? When she heard this, Concubine Shu's face was full of doubts, as if she hadn't understood what was going on.
"It's just that I want to ask the Queen Mother to help me do something." Concubine Jing said calmly, and as she spoke, she turned her head and glanced at Concubine Shu opposite.
After being silent for a few seconds, Concubine Jing said again: "Actually, you can choose not to believe me, after all, I have nothing to do with you, but think about it, since you have fallen to this point, will it be worse than now?" If you believe me, at least you can turn over. ”
Her words fell on Shu Guifei's ears, like a charming language, so that she only hesitated for a few seconds before subconsciously choosing to believe it.
"Since you have already said so, then I reluctantly believe you once, yes, there is indeed a secret in what happened back then, it is true that I did not do it, I did want to attack the child of the Queen Mother, but that child is really cute, so at the last moment I regretted it, but I didn't expect that the child died in the end." When Concubine Shu talked about the past, there was remorse and helplessness in her eyes, and more heartache.
Concubine Jing didn't speak, just looked at Concubine Shu quietly, waiting for her to continue the matter. "When I gave birth to the Queen Mother at the same time, but my child died when she was born, but her child survived, although I was jealous, but I thought that they were also children, so I took more care of the child, but I don't know why, when the child was about six years old, she suddenly had an illness, and she couldn't afford to be sick, and someone said that the night she died said that it was because I put chronic poison in the snacks I gave her on weekdays." Concubine Shu said calmly.
After so many years of life in the cold palace, she seems to have seen these things a long time ago, and when she talks about them, she seems to be talking about other people's things.
Concubine Jing, who is also a concubine, probably understood something when she heard this, and she nodded slightly.
"You didn't do it at all, did you? If I'm not mistaken, maybe the Queen Mother herself did something to her daughter in order to frame you. Concubine Jing looked at Concubine Shu opposite and asked speculatively.
Concubine Shu just shook her head slightly, and didn't say anything, she didn't do what happened back then, but it wasn't someone who secretly started in it, so I don't know.
"I've been thinking for so many years, if my child hadn't died, maybe he would be about the same age as that child, but there was one thing I suddenly didn't understand, the Queen Mother's child said that I was the victim, so who did my child do it?" Concubine Shu's face was indifferent, and she looked at Concubine Jing opposite and asked.
The children in the palace are difficult to feed, and they may be subject to a lot of guns and arrows from birth.
"I'll go and check this matter for you, but you also have to assure me that everything you said was told to me truthfully and without the slightest concealment." Concubine Jing looked at Concubine Shu on the other side in a sharp tone and asked.
Concubine Shu suddenly sneered: "That great eunuch Wei Xilan, the steward of the Internal Affairs Mansion, used to be my confidant, if you can, you can ask him." ”
"Since your henchmen have already achieved the position of the chief eunuch, why don't you let him help you by the way?" After Jing Guifei heard this, she looked at Shu Guifei even more suspiciously.
She felt that there might be a secret hidden in this woman.
"It's just a minion, and you are the master, the master can ask the slave to help her do things, but the slave doesn't have that much ability to save the master from fire and water." Concubine Shu looked at Concubine Jing with an indifferent face and said these words.
Concubine Jing nodded as if she didn't understand, and then left the cold palace in a hurry.
And after Changyue outside saw Concubine Jing come out, she hurriedly greeted her, and she asked in a low voice: "How about Niangniang, are all the words she said still credible?" ”
After hearing this, Concubine Jing said calmly: "How much is true and how much is false, whether it is true or false will wait until we have checked it, but it has been more than ten years since this matter, and most of the palace maids and eunuchs involved in this matter at that time have been sent out of the palace, and even if we are looking for it now, there are not many people who can find it." ”
When she finished saying this, she suddenly remembered what Concubine Shu had just told her about Wei Xilan, the eunuch in charge of the Internal Affairs Office.
"If you have time, you go to the Internal Affairs Office to see the eunuch in charge Wei Xilan, and if you can, you can investigate more, observe him, and see if he is a reliable person." Concubine Jing said to Changyue as she walked back. has been locked up in the cold palace for so many years, but when Concubine Shu saw her, she was not in a hurry to avenge her grievances, nor did she beg her for help desperately, indicating that she must have other ways to be in the cold palace for so many years.
When she saw Concubine Shu, Concubine Jing subconsciously became a little vigilant, if such a woman was not the concubine of the first emperor but the concubine of the new emperor, she must be a very strong opponent.
And at this time, He'an had already moved to the palace of King Rong'an.
"This green bamboo garden of yours was arranged by myself, it may not be as good as the housekeeper's arrangement, if you are not satisfied or disliked, then ask the housekeeper to rearrange it for you." Shi Yingqiu took He An's hand and introduced her to the decoration in the house.
And Ye Junhao was standing at the door, when he saw this scene, his heart was a little congested, I don't know why, he always felt that He An lived in the palace, and he was the one who competed with him for favor.
But although he was unhappy in his heart, he couldn't say this directly, Ye Junhao sighed, and was ready to wait for Shi Yingqiu to come out here.
"Lord Wang, the previous matter has been decided, and today the people in the palace have spread the news that Your Majesty is only afraid that he intends to let you solve the affairs in the Jiangnan area." Lu Yuan didn't know when he walked to Ye Junhao's side, he lowered his head and said in a low voice.
"If he doesn't send me, it's a rare thing, you have everything that should be prepared, that is, once the list of entourages comes down, you will immediately go and investigate the details of these people." Ye Junhao's eyes looked at the people around him solemnly and said, after what happened last time, he had to be cautious this time.
Lu Yuan responded with a "yes", saying that he knew what to do about this matter.
"But the meaning of the palace of the prince, if we all know it now, there must be a lot of people in the capital who also know, don't you plan to talk about this matter to the princess Niangniang, and this trip, do you want to tell the princess Niangniang and let her accompany you." Lu Yuan stood beside Ye Junhao and asked uneasily.
"Wait a minute, wait until this matter is preliminarily resolved, and then talk to her, as for whether to bring her or not, I thought about it or forget it, how can I go out with my family." Ye Junhao said as he glanced back at Lu Yuan, this minister who went out to run errands since ancient times basically didn't bring his family with him.
Shi Yingqiu stayed inside for a while, and after telling He'an everything about everything, he went out of the Bamboo Garden under He'an's urging. As soon as she came out of the Bamboo Garden, she saw Ye Junhao standing outside, talking to Lu Yuan and the others, and their faces didn't seem to be very good. "What's going on? Seeing that both of you have a sad face, it's not because I care too much about He'an, which annoys our prince, and the prince is angry with you. Shi Yingqiu came out with a smile as she spoke, looking at Lu Yuan and jokingly.
After hearing this, Lu Yuan's face changed, and he hurriedly waved his hand in a panic and said, "Don't make fun of your subordinates, don't make fun of your subordinates, how can this prince have it!" ”
When Shi Yingqiu saw this scene, she only felt that it was very interesting, she walked quickly to Ye Junhao's side and said: "It's just a joke, but it also makes you, the little guard, so nervous, I think he is very interesting." ”
Probably because his princess praised him, so Ye Junhao's mood is not bad now, he turned his head and glanced at Lu Yuan with a slight "um".
After resting in the palace for two or three days, sure enough, the will of the court came down.
"After the incident in Liangcheng, we have been in obscurity for so long, and the reputation of us in the capital has become worse and worse, but at such a juncture, why did the emperor send you to deal with such a big case in Jiangnan." Shi Yingqiu panicked when she heard this will, how dangerous she was in Liangcheng before, she didn't know in her heart.
