Chapter 306: Hidden Feelings
Gu Banqin nodded to the Wang family and said, "I didn't think about doing whatever I wanted, covering the sky with one hand, after all, with Mrs. Gu here, how could every move in the palace escape Mrs. Gu's eyes?" ”
The Wang family wanted to continue the run, but they heard the Duchess of Zhenguo cough crisply, reminding the Wang family not to talk nonsense, and they didn't want to bear the charge of spying on the palace.
"If you don't want to take the opportunity to eradicate Concubine Shu, why put her under house arrest, she is one of the four concubines with you, even if there is no middle palace in the palace, there is also the Queen Mother in charge, when you put Concubine Shu under house arrest, do you put the Queen Mother in your eyes?"
The Wang family is like this, from the past to the present, she can't change the way she speaks, it's obviously one thing she wants to say, but she wants to say what other people mean, and then rely on other people's momentum to achieve the purpose of suppression.
The Fang clan also didn't like this kind of Wang clan, not because he was borrowed, he was unhappy, but because the Wang clan had a misunderstanding of the distribution of power in the palace at all.
Today's Gu Banqin, the power in the harem is much greater than that of her, the queen mother, the emperor helped Gu Banqin to empty her as the queen mother, but the Wang family doesn't know how powerful it is, and wants to use the Fang family's momentum to suppress Gu Banqin, isn't this intentionally embarrassing the Fang family.
But when it comes to this, if the Fang clan refutes Wang's words on the spot, then the fight between the Wang clan and Gu Banqin is estimated to be unquarrelsome, so even if the Fang clan is dissatisfied with the Wang clan in his heart, he didn't say it on the surface. I also want to hear how Gu Banqin will answer.
I saw Gu Banqin smile:
"Let's not talk about whether I can be the master in the palace and put Concubine Shu under house arrest, just talk about Concubine Shu. Mrs. Gu must not ask any more questions, what Concubine Shu did in the palace, you may not know clearly, let's put it this way, it is true that Concubine Shu is not sick, and I did put her under house arrest and disbanded the people of the Lanyue Palace. ”
When the Wang family heard Gu Banqin say this, he couldn't get angry, pointed at Gu Banqin and came to Fang excitedly, and said:
"Take a look, the Queen Mother, you can see it, did Concubine Xian Niangniang put you in her eyes? actually admitted it like this, why did she put Concubine Niangniang, who was also one of the four concubines, under house arrest? Can the law in this harem still tolerate her? ”
The Fang family was also bitter in his heart, and he really wanted to tell the Wang family, if he couldn't tolerate it, she really didn't count it.
Even if the emperor is not in the palace now, the Fang clan is not sure that he will be able to take Gu Banqin, before the emperor leaves the palace, he can say to the imperial guards, if he sees the virtuous concubine, if he sees him, this is actually said to the Fang clan.
Therefore, with the emperor behind him protecting Gu Banqin, the Fang clan was dissatisfied and resentful of her, and he was not able to come out.
What's more, the Fang family just wanted to watch the play, wanted to see Gu Banqin being squeezed out, even if she had the ability, she could tell who to help, if it was the Gu family a few years ago, the Fang family might still be biased.
But in recent years, the emperor has insisted on suppressing the scholars, and the Gu family's power is far less than before.
Therefore, no matter what the case was, it was impossible for the Fang clan to stand up and be a gun for the Wang clan.
Glancing at Gu Banqin, where the old god was there, Fang replied to Wang:
"Mrs. Gu doesn't need to be excited, Concubine Xian is not the kind of person who hurts people for no reason, why not ask the exact reason and then make a judgment?"
In this sentence, the Fang family did say something from her heart, she hated Gu Banqin, but she couldn't deny Gu Banqin's ability, and she also understood that Gu Banqin was not the kind of person who maliciously suppressed the concubine.
In fact, with Gu Banqin's exclusive favor, she really can't find something to do for herself, and the ultimate goal of suppressing the concubine is to compete for favor, but Gu Banqin's favor is too crooked, how could she do it to Concubine Shu for no reason? As soon as he was shot, he was under house arrest?
It must have something to do with the things that have happened in the Lanyue Hall during this time.
The Fang clan always knew, but he was not happy to do it, he felt that for the sake of a few slaves and eunuchs, he couldn't make any trouble in the harem, and he didn't expect Gu Banqin to be so decisive, so he directly sent the people from the Lanyue Palace, and simply and rudely locked up Gu Nianshu.
The Wang clan couldn't get the support of the Fang clan, so his arrogance stopped a little, Gu Banqin glanced at the catkins outside the door, and after thinking about it, the catkins retreated from the door.
"Yes, let's ask Concubine Xian Niangniang first, why did she do this."
Duchess Zhenguo was also a little soft, she was called by the Wang family to support her today, it was a pure accident, she got on the thief ship of Mrs. Weiwuhou.
The Duchess of Zhenguo herself has no friendship with the Wang family, not to mention that she is also a good person, where can I not see the true direction of this harem, but the Queen Mother has some power in her hands, and Gu Banqin does not dare to be so arrogant.
Thinking of the rumors in recent times, the emperor seemed to have been lowered, like crazy, and favored Gu Banqin alone, always thinking that it was a false rumor and an exaggeration, but now looking at the superficial interaction between the Queen Mother and Gu Banqin, where can the Duchess of Zhenguo guess it.
Therefore, he immediately changed his tone and began to draw a line with the dead Wang family little by little.
The Wang family suffered two blows in a row, she wanted to use the Queen Mother to suppress Gu Banqin and teach her a lesson, the Duchess of Zhenguo was pulled over by her to support her, in order to make the Queen Mother pay more attention to herself, but she didn't expect that things were not developing as she thought at all, and Gu Banqin's indifferent attitude made the Wang family even more angry.
"Okay, since the Queen Mother and the Duchess of Zhenguo have said so, I have to ask Concubine Xian, what unforgivable crime did Concubine Xian Niangniang commit, and let Concubine Xian Niangniang be punished in private? The country has national laws, and the family has family rules, if the virtuous concubine can't say why, then this matter, even if I personally touch the dragon pillar, I will be entangled to the end. ”
Gu Banqin looked at the Wang family, and almost wanted to laugh a little, how many times did she tell her, she was the lady of the previous dynasty, and Daqi had never recognized her identity, and she actually wanted to go up to the palace to bump into the blood of the dragon pillar.
Gu Banqin didn't want to entangle this meaningless question with her, and when she glanced out, she seemed to see the crowds outside Cining Palace, Liu Wu really understood Gu Banqin, although she didn't tell her in advance, but with one look, coupled with observing the development of the situation, Liu Wu could make the most correct response.
Ignoring the Wang family, Gu Banqin walked to the door and waited for a while, until she saw the catkins and the red sleeves behind her, Gu Banqin smiled and turned back.
Everyone in the hall also heard the noise outside, and Fang asked Gu Banqin:
"Who's coming? Gu Banqin, what do you want to do? Can't say it, but you still want to do it? ”
Gu Banqin came to the Fang clan and calmly said to the Fang clan: "The Queen Mother is too worried, and Gu Banqin never solves the things that can be solved with her mouth." These people who came here are the answers I want to give Mrs. Gu. ”
Wang and Mrs. Weiwuhou glanced at each other, and Mrs. Weiwuhou also felt that something was wrong, and handed her eyes to the Duchess of Zhenguo, but the Duchess of Zhenguo had already determined her inner thoughts at this time and refused to have a spiritual exchange with Mrs. Weiwuhou.
Only Wang's ignorant people are meaningless: "What answer?" What ambiguous words the virtuous concubine said, I don't understand. ”
Gu Banqin didn't want to talk nonsense with her, so she pointed to the large group of people who knelt down in the courtyard of Cining Palace after Liu Wu, and said:
"Mrs. Gu can go out and see those people, and then she will know what I want to say."
The Wang family was suspicious, and didn't want to cooperate with Gu Banqin at all, or Mrs. Weiwuhou pulled her out, Gu Banqin also followed to the corridor, and the Duchess of Zhenguo helped Fang Shi to the door, and the more than ten people kneeling in the courtyard, without exception, were all scarred, and several of them were particularly serious.
Gu Banqin pointed to the red sleeves and said:
"That's the personal palace maid next to Concubine Xian, Mrs. Gu should know her, right?"
Wang frowned, didn't speak, but didn't refute either, Red Sleeves followed Gu Nianshu back to the Gu family a few times, so Wang recognized her.
As soon as Gu Banqin's voice fell, she saw the named red sleeves kneeling forward a few steps, and took the initiative to lift up all her sleeves, so that everyone could see her bruised and scarred arms, and burst into tears:
"The slave maid is the red sleeve of the housekeeper of the Lanyue Palace, the personal palace maid of the lady concubine, and everyone behind the slave and maid is also all the people who serve in the Lanyue Palace, in recent months, the temperament of the virtuous concubine has changed greatly, and she always loves to bully and abuse the servants and maids around her, and the slaves and maids are all light."
"Hongying, the green pothos was ordered to sew half of the mouth by Concubine Xian, yesterday just by the imperial doctor to remove the stitches for treatment, Xiao Shunzi and Xiao Zhangzi's hands and feet were all drenched with boiling water, and the hands and feet were wasted, and everyone else was not spared, all of them were abused by the lady concubine. Fortunately, thanks to the benevolent rescue of the virtuous concubine, the slaves and maids were able to survive. ”
The words of the red sleeves were exquisite, which made everyone present unable to help but be moved, and when they saw the tragic situation of everyone, they had a clear bias in their hearts.
There are also a lot of slaves, maids, grandmothers and eunuchs in Cining Palace, and everyone in the Lanyue Palace can't help but feel tightened, everyone is an inferior minion, if they all meet a master like Concubine Shu, then they are not equivalent to living in dire straits?
Concubine Shu abused the palace people for a day or two, but no one in the palace dared to point it out, and the queen mother didn't care, Concubine Xian just returned to the palace, and she took action to solve this matter.
Mama Liu was also touched, looked out, and looked at the Fang family from time to time, the Fang family was also a little embarrassed by Mama Liu, coughed dryly, and then turned back to the hall, unhappy to go to this quarrel again.
Anyway, the ultimate goal of the Fang clan is not to help the Wang family and Gu Nianshu get ahead, but to see Gu Banqin's jokes, and now that the jokes can't be seen, why is the Fang clan still kept.
