Chapter 161: Falling Cover (7)
() Who is she dealing with?
Empress Rong bent the corners of her lips and said to Tong Meidao: "You say, this palace wants to deal with you?" ”
"You and I are in the harem together, and we should be like sisters, but you say that this palace wants to deal with you......"
"How can you think that?"
"Isn't it...... What have you done to the unfortunate thing that you can't live in this palace, and your conscience is disturbed, that's why you think so? ”
Sorry......
Tong Meiren's face turned pale and she looked at Queen Rong in horror.
Queen Rong didn't look at Tong Meiren, she lowered her eyes, and slowly and patiently pulled the lid of the blue and white porcelain teacup in her hand.
For such a moment, it was Tong Meiren who couldn't hold her breath first, and replied in a trembling voice: "Niangniang...... The concubine doesn't understand what you're talking about......"
Queen Rong closed the lid of the cup with a "snap".
Tong Meiren's body shook involuntarily.
Empress Rong put down the teacup, and her tone was not distinguishing between joy and anger: "What are you shaking?" ”
"You say, you don't understand what Bengong said, Bengong will remind you again, Fanxiangtang...... You always know, right? ”
Fanxiangtang is one of the famous Buddha incense shops in Kyoto City, and it is the property of Tong Meiren's mother's family, Tobe Tong Shilang's family.
Hearing Queen Rong mention Fanxiangtang, Tong Meiren's face became more and more pale, but she still forced a smile and said: "I don't know how Niangniang would mention the shop of the concubine's mother's house......"
"If the mother doesn't dislike it, the concubine will ask the mother to ......"
Empress Rong coldly interrupted Tong Meiren's words: "No need! The Buddha incense of Fanxiang Hall, this palace can't stand it! ”
"It seems that you really can't understand what Bengong said!"
"Then Bengu will say it directly."
Tong Meiren's eyes widened, and she looked at the queen without blinking.
Queen Rong's face was frosty: "This palace will point you three paths......"
"First, tell me everything you have done, and this palace can spare you from dying."
"Second, you either swallow gold and take poison, or three-foot white silk, choose one you like, and cut it off cleanly, this palace can spare the lives of your younger brothers and sisters in the family."
"Third, you are neither willing to recruit nor willing to die......"
Empress Rong stood up from the phoenix seat, walked in front of Tong Meiren, and looked down at her: "Then you'd better have the ability to kill this palace, just like ...... You are harming the great prince like ......"
"Otherwise, this palace wants you to join the Tong clan and apologize for your sins with death!"
Tong Meiren couldn't stand the queen's gloomy eyes and the threat in her words, stood up screaming, and shouted to the queen: "Say that I killed the eldest prince, what evidence do you have?!" ”
"If you want me to kill myself, otherwise I will kill the Tong clan, why should you?!"
"You have no talent and no appearance, you can be a queen, but because you have a good sister, if the saint is not a respected general, how can he marry you as a wife?!"
"Even if you are the queen, even if you have a stomach, I have never envied you!"
Tong Meiren looked crazy, and laughed loudly: "Because, because, the saint has no affection for you!" ”
"You're a woman in vain!"
"Hahaha......"
Empress Rong was a little stunned at first.
She is here to try the Buddha incense case, how did this crazy woman find out why the emperor married her?
Harem woman, if you are not interesting, you are not interesting here.
No matter how beautiful his appearance and temperament are, he thinks about grace and dragon heirs in his heart.
If the desire is too heavy, no matter how delicate the beauty is, it will lose its charm.
Why did the emperor ask to marry her because he was a brother-in-law......
Tong Shi thinks that she will care?
Scold......
Empress Rong thought so, but her face stretched with a smile: "People next to me say that this palace is fortunate to be in the eyes of the saint because she was born like Empress Wende." ”
"But it's the first time I've heard that this palace can have today, and it turns out that it is General Mu who relies on it."
She looked at Tong Meiren with a smile: "But, what can I do?" ”
"Whether it is born like Queen Wende, or a competitive sister, brother-in-law, and younger brother......"
"These are the lives of this palace."
"And ...... You probably don't know that when the palace was eight years old, there were high-ranking monks who approved the destiny of the palace, saying that the palace was the destiny of the phoenix star......"
Speaking of this, Queen Rong laughed, as if she was very happy: "So, what's the use of you spending so much effort and using those dirty means to do things that hurt heaven and reason?" ”
The smile on Empress Rong's face gradually faded: "It's better to ...... Settle down, accumulate some yin virtue, and cast a good baby in the next life! ”
Tong Meiren staggered out of the middle palace.
That night, the palace people came to report that Tong Meiren accidentally stumbled while walking and drowned.
The queen put down the book in her hand as usual, was silent for a moment, and ordered the palace maid to wait for her to change her clothes.
The concubine is dead, and she, the queen, always has to go and see it.
It was the emperor who walked into the palace.
In the warm yellow light, the husband and wife looked at each other silently.
Empress Rong suddenly remembered the years when she first got married.
At that time, although she lingered on the sickbed, it was difficult for her to change the lively heart of a girl, and every day when the emperor went to see her, she must have prepared a full stomach to say to him.
She asked him how Yirong was doing, and also asked him about the latest news outside.
The new things she is interested in are what new dishes are coming out of the private restaurant, what new plays are lined up in the theater, and what new books are on the shelves of the bookstore......
Although she asked in a chatter, she originally thought that he must not be familiar with them.
To her surprise, they had a good conversation.
Later, when she got better, he would occasionally order those cooks and servants to come into the house to cook and sing for her, and he would also buy popular notebooks for her to relieve her boredom.
Empress Rong's eyes were a little wet.
They also had such a warm past.
Ever since she knew Jane was pregnant, she was not happy to talk to him without heart or lungs.
For a while, when she looked at him, she couldn't help but think of Jane.
Come to think of it, is he the same to Jane as he is to her?
Probably different......
After all, Jane is much more beautiful and gentle than she is......
Moreover, he has not only Jane's by his side......
Thinking of that, there were some words that she couldn't say.
In the end, we respect each other like guests and are speechless.
The couple looked at each other for a long time, and finally, the emperor sighed faintly, sat down and asked the queen: "Do you know about the Buddha's incense?" ”
Queen Rong snorted coldly in her heart: Sure enough......
But he smiled decently: "Your Majesty knows everything, but he doesn't say anything to his concubines......"
"Over the past year, you have watched your concubines track down the truth of Yirong's untimely death like looking for a needle in a haystack, and you probably think that the concubines are really stupid, right?"
The emperor looked at the empress with anger in his eyes: "That's what you think of me?!" ”
Empress Rong respectfully bowed down and confessed: "Your Majesty is angry! ”
But there was no fear on his face.
The emperor was so angry that his liver hurt.
If it was someone else, he could have walked away.
That is, she can make him tolerate Zhisi.
However, he should have put up with her.
It was he who was scheming and married her.
He should have kept her safe and happy for the rest of her life......
The emperor's anger gradually subsided, he slowed down his tone as much as possible, and personally helped the empress to her feet: "How can I think you are stupid? ”
"It's about the emperor's heir, how dare those people do it without a plan of ten thousand?"
"Just like these years, the Queen Mother has also been tracking down the truth about the death of Prince Xiaohui, but she has found almost nothing."
Prince Xiaohui is the son-in-law of the Empress Dowager Jian for the first emperor in the past.
The filial piety prince died and there was no queen, so there was a later dragon son to take the heir.
Only then did we have the current emperor.
Empress Rong looked at the emperor puzzled: "Didn't you say that Prince Xiaohui was harmed by the King of England and the Ma family?" ”
The emperor looked at Empress Rong fixedly: "Then I said, Yirong is the ...... of Concubine Yun."
"When the first emperor stopped his spirit, Concubine Yun ordered the Buddha incense in Fanxiang Hall because of her remembrance of the first emperor, and bought the inner supervisor and palace maid on duty, and burned it in front of the first emperor's spirit."
"Compared with ordinary Buddha incense, there is more flavor in the Buddha incense, according to Concubine Yun, it is because the first emperor once praised her, as beautiful as the moon season."
Speaking of this, the emperor's eyes gradually deepened: "Yueji fragrant powder, ordinary people smell it, and people with heart disease will feel depressed and palpitations when they smell it." ”
"There are many incense in front of the first emperor's spirit, and no one has noticed the wisp of moon incense sandwiched in the Buddha's incense."
"If I say, Yirong is the ...... of Concubine Yun"
"Yu'er, do you believe it or not?"
