Chapter Eighty-Eight: It's a Bad Fate
"Regarding the cause of Aunt Yang's death that year," Li Mengming added in a hurry, what she was most afraid of was that Qin Yunuan would really leave without looking back, she knew that she would not live long, either die on the guillotine or die at the hands of that vicious woman's killer, only Qin Yunuan, only Qin Yunuan can save herself, "Don't the three girls want to know?" ”
"You'd better not tell lies." Qin Yunuan turned her head sideways, revealing a third of her face, and her obscure side face was filled with deep forbearance and longing for her mother.
"Meng Meng naturally won't joke with her own life," Li Meng swallowed her saliva, "This is also what Meng Meng accidentally found after entering Qin's house, in the middle of the night, Meng Meng couldn't sleep, and when she was walking in the backyard, she accidentally saw Aunt Xiu next to Dou Shi burning paper money, and while burning, she read in her mouth, 'Auntie, I didn't hurt you, I was also forced to be helpless, you must not come to seek revenge like Aunt He's." At that time, it was after we colluded to stage a haunting of Furong Courtyard, I guessed that this Xiu Gu must have done something back then, and later I met the three girls and you know that the day Xiu Gu burned paper money was the death taboo of Aunt Yang, the mother of the three girls. ”
Qin Yunuan and Li Mengming always maintained a distance of ten steps away, but Li Mingming's words were vibrating, and they stabbed her heart directly from the eardrum.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Li Mengming hurriedly said: "What I said is true, if the third girl doesn't believe it, just go and check, with the third girl's ability, you will definitely be able to find out what happened back then." ”
"Do you need to say that?" Qin Yunuan turned her head gloomily, didn't say much, and walked straight out of the prison door, whether this piece of information was worth it for her to save Li Mengming's life was always debatable.
It wasn't until a few days later that Huang Dashi inquired about the residence of an old lady who had returned to her hometown to recuperate in Taiwei Mansion, and then found out the original circumstances of the year, and after inference, Qin Yunuan knew that Dou not only put saffron in her mother's fetal pills, but her mother's physique was sensitive, and she had never used fetal pills.
It was a small amount of arsenic every day that killed my mother.
Thinking of this, Qin Yunuan took a deep breath, held back the crystal tears that were about to take her eyes, and instead of them, she felt more and more hatred and gnashing her teeth for her mother's worthlessness.
Shangguan Yi on the side mistakenly thought that she was excited because she could see Qin Yun's embarrassed appearance on the queen's mother immediately, raised her eyebrows, and said in a weird tone of yin and yang: "I admit it, I can't fight you in terms of scheming, you are always more ruthless than me, but in terms of disguise, Sister Qin, the green tendons on your fists are about to burst out, if you are happy, you don't have to be happy like this." ”
Qin Yunuan relaxed her entire nervous state, and glanced back at Shangguan Yi lazily: "I'm not you, I have feelings." ”
Shangguan Yi sneered: "I used to have it too." ”
As soon as the words fell, outside the hall, I watched a little palace maid leading a somewhat haggard Qin Yunjiao to come in from the left side of the door, and at the same time, Sima Rui also changed his clothes and turned over from the right side of the door, the two only met at the door for a moment, Sima Rui seemed to reveal the most vicious eyes in his life, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his narrow and sharp eyes were like ice picks, eager to pierce the woman in front of him with no appearance.
He had never made such a big mistake, and at such a critical time, his father had already begun to consider letting him assist in the affairs of Eastern Qin, but now, I am afraid that everything will come to naught.
"What are you doing standing in the doorway?" Empress Chen looked at the two people at the door who were like sculptures, and her heart was even more dissatisfied, "Come in." ”
Qin Yunxiang still had hazy and shy tears in her eyes, she thought that Sima Rui would be like an ordinary man, at least give herself a little pity, she was also innocent, but the moment the two of them passed by in the hall, she only heard Sima Rui's cold words: "You'd better talk to me." ”
Walking to the hall, Sima Rui suddenly knelt down towards Empress Chen and buried his head deeply: "It's the son who is not filial." ”
Empress Chen didn't seem to expect that Sima Rui, who had always been arrogant and untamed, would have such an obedient time, so she retired from the idle people and others, and even Shangguan Yi was invited out, leaving only a few intimate people for Empress Chen, as well as Qin Yunuan, who was Qin Yun's sister.
Qin Yunuan took a deep breath when she saw Empress Chen, such a steady and dignified woman, it seems that nothing can disturb her beautiful and delicate disguise, such a person is the most terrifying, you can never figure out what she is hiding, how deep she is hidden.
"Shangguan girl has told this palace," Empress Chen sighed, she naturally would not fully believe Shangguan Yi's testimony, but at this time, Ning Ning had a chance to make a comeback, "Rui'er, why have you never heard you talk about the matter of falling in love with the eldest girl of the Qin family?" ”
Sima Rui was stunned, and swept over Qin Yunxiang who was kneeling beside him with his residual vision, looking at her timid and scared look, he felt even more disgusted, his original plan was to insist that Qin Yunxiang seduced him first, Qin Yunxiang tried to climb the high branches, Qin Yunxiang had been thinking about himself for a long time, he could find evidence, even if there was no evidence, he could make evidence, in short, the cleaner he plucked himself, the better.
But now according to Empress Chen's intentions, that is, to let him ......
"Alas," Empress Chen sighed, "The love between men and women is also a common thing, and it just so happens that Miss Qin San is also here, so I can be a witness for the two of you." ”
Just when Empress Chen was speechless, the three of them all knew it, Sima Rui clenched his fists, his face was full of unwillingness, Qin Yunxiang's eyes were mixed with various contradictory and complex emotions of expectation, fear, fear, and shyness, while Qin Yunuan was only slightly blessed when Queen Chen shouted her name, and her expression was faint, as if this matter had nothing to do with her.
"Let's get married someday." Empress Chen's tone was a little tough, as if she had given an ultimatum.
"Queen Mother!" Sima Rui couldn't help but shout loudly.
"There is a rainbow at the end of next month, and I originally wanted to marry a few newlyweds for you on that day, but now, it just happened to happen." Empress Chen completely ignored Sima Rui's powerlessness to resist.
"Queen Mother, this matter is too abrupt, the matter has not been clarified, why did the Queen Mother ......" Sima Rui wanted to argue.
"That's how it is! Do you still want to get to your father's place? Empress Chen suddenly aggravated her tone, her voice was so stern that she was completely different from the usual kind of gentleness, her eyes widened angrily, if it weren't for Qin Yunuan's presence, she couldn't wait to stand up and cut open Sima Rui's head to see what he was pretending to be today, he would actually make such a low-level mistake, and he had never been discovered before when he was asked to seduce Xian Guiren.
As soon as he mentioned his father, Sima Rui's momentum suddenly weakened, and his expression was sorrowful, like a water dog.
"Twenty-three next month," Empress Chen's tone softened a little, and she said to Qin Yu warmly, "What does Miss Qin think?" ”
Asking Qin Yunuan is to ask the Qin family's opinion, if Qin Yunuan is willing to nod and agree, when he returns to the Qin family, he will naturally help Qin Yunxiang and Sima Rui cover up, only saying that the two are in love and decided to get married, and the daughters of the boudoir who saw those fragrant pictures have been arranged by Queen Chen to teach them one by one, after leaving the palace, what should be said and what not to say, now, only Qin Yunuan is left.
Qin Yunuan owed money, and said with a faint smile: "This is a happy event, naturally it is all up to the elders, and Yunuan listens to the queen." ”
is also a person who knows how to read the face, Queen Chen slowly kneaded her sore and swollen temples with her index finger, and her beautiful and slender armor occasionally brushed the neatly combed bun: "Then it's decided, change Ming'er's palace to discuss with Concubine Yun and Concubine Duan, and decide the marriage of your princes together, so as not to be too eye-catching." ”
Sima Rui didn't speak, he accepted this fact, he actually wanted to marry such a stupid and reckless woman, he raised his head slightly, looked at Qin Yunuan, and the unwillingness in his heart became more and more intense.
Under the silence, Qin Yunxiang suddenly said, "The courtiers don't want to marry the Third Highness." With tears in her eyes, she boldly shouted out her heart, judging from Sima Rui's series of reactions to her, she can be very sure that Sima Rui doesn't love her at all, and even hates her, hates her, she has always relied on a beautiful face to think that all men in the world will take care of her and protect her, this feeling from heaven to earth is more uncomfortable than stabbing her heart with a knife, if she really marries, life will be even more uncomfortable.
"Big sister, what are you talking about?" Before Empress Chen could speak, Qin Yunuan took the initiative to step forward to support Qin Yunxiang, and hugged her tightly with both arms, it seemed that the sisters were hugging and comforting, but in fact, what Qin Yunnuan said in Qin Yunxiang's ear was: "Do you know what the consequences of not marrying the Third Highness are?" Your reputation is ruined, your father won't want you, maybe the Dou family doesn't want you anymore, and all the men in the world won't want you, do you think the news won't get out if the queen mother told those ladies to shut up? Big sister, you know, as long as I think, when you leave the palace, you will already be a shameless woman with morally degraded morals in the mouths of the people. ”
"Why?" Qin Yun choked back tears, "I haven't hurt you, even if I do, it's all before." ”
"Before?" Qin Yunuan said and touched the golden begonia hairpin on her head again, this is the one she felt strange before entering the palace, and then she found someone to see it, and the poison on the head was quenched, it is the most poisonous seven steps, the easiest to enter the human body from the scalp, and it can kill people within two hours, if she didn't find it, she would be a corpse now.
