Chapter 748: The Death of the Side Concubine
"Qingxue, this girl, except that her temperament is too boring, there is nothing else wrong with her."
Mama Huang shook her head helplessly, with a look of regret in her expression.
If Qingxue has the cleverness of Qingyue, and with her craftsmanship, she will be able to stay up to the position of a first-class palace maid in the morning.
"Okay, how can people be perfect, go get busy."
As soon as Murong Hui heard it, she knew that Mama Huang must be nagging again, so she hurriedly interrupted her words.
Seeing that Mama Huang was gone, Murong Hui looked at the book with peace of mind.
The tenth day of the first month of October is an excellent day, and Murong Kai officially became the prince of Ling on such a day.
It was a turning point for him and a new beginning.
Murong Hui didn't go in person, but she heard a lot of news from the Yuetuo people.
It is said that Princess Ling, who was seriously ill, personally handed the holy decree to Murong Kai.
The old lady Ling said that she was sick and did not go, but the side concubine went, and said a few sour words, and was slapped by Princess Ling on the spot, completely losing face.
"It's hard for Old Concubine Ling to be really sick, in the past, she used to protect the side concubine like an old hen, but now she doesn't care."
After Qingyue finished speaking, she couldn't help but feel a little puzzled, and muttered in a low voice.
"People who have no use value naturally don't need to be saved."
Xu Qing sighed, knowing that the days of this side concubine will only become more and more sad in the future, and she can't say that she is not as good as Murong Kai's biological mother.
"But that's her niece! Yes, the royal family has no affection. ”
Gao Ziyue lay on the table and once again felt Sen Ran's coldness.
"The slave maid doesn't understand, why the old lady Ling will stop here, the prince of Ling is not the successor of King Ling now, they still have a chance."
Qingyue glanced around and made sure that there were no outsiders around, so she whispered.
"Are you a fool to be King Ling? Princess Ling is just a woman in the end, and when she dies, she dies. But Murong Kai is his son, and he can't be killed casually. ”
Murong Hui said helplessly, knowing that this girl was on the tip of the horns again.
"The slave maid understood, the old concubine Ling knew that King Ling's bottom line was the heir, so she only dared to make things difficult for Murong Kai, but she didn't dare to kill her."
Qingyue suddenly realized, and then said again: "She is also afraid, it's really not easy." ”
Gao Ziyue also thought so, in her opinion, this old lady Ling had been constantly refreshing her downline, and she couldn't be more shameless.
"That side concubine will definitely not be reconciled, there will be a good show to watch next."
But as long as there is no help from the old lady Ling, even if Princess Ling only has one breath left, she can easily kill the side concubine, Xu Qing thought like this, her eyes couldn't help but shine, and she felt that there would be another good show to watch next.
"The queen promised me that I could go to Zhuangzi for a few days this year, why don't we go to Zhuangzi for a few days?"
Murong Hui was not interested in the affairs of King Ling's Mansion, and in her opinion, the affairs over there had already been settled.
And Princess Ling couldn't resign for long, so this time she wanted to take Sang Ning to Zhuangzi for a few days to relax, and marry into King Ling's mansion in the future, she was afraid that she would not have time to relax.
Xu Qing and Gao Ziyue were naturally happy, although they liked the prosperity of the palace, they didn't like the rules of the palace.
After two days, the four of them prepared everything and set off for the imperial village.
Autumn is the harvest season, and the craftsmen in the imperial village are busy picking kumquat and harvesting farmland.
Murong Hui and the others went to join in the excitement, but the weather was too colorful, and the work was too hard, so the four of them didn't last long, so they ran to the side to watch the excitement.
Zhuangtou specially prepared tea for them, which was brewed with wild licorice on Zhuangzi, which tasted sweet and delicious, and Murong Hui still felt good after drinking two cups.
The three of them were chatting, when they suddenly heard a snoring sound next to them, Xu Qing turned her head and saw that Gao Ziyue was already lying on the bamboo chair and falling asleep, still salivating.
Xu Qing couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh, while Murong Hui asked people to take an umbrella to block Gao Ziyue's head.
After chatting for a while, they saw Zhuang Tou coming over: "Your Highness, the room has been cleaned up, do you want to rest?" ”
"Later, you can get busy."
Glancing at Gao Ziyue, who was sleeping soundly, Murong Hui simply shook her head, it was okay to go back anyway.
Gao Ziyue slept for half an hour, and when she woke up again, Mama Zhang had already taken someone to make dinner.
"It smells so good."
After Gao Ziyue finished speaking vaguely, she stretched her waist to stop her, only to find that many people around her were peeking at her.
There were a few young girls who were still talking in whispers.
Don't these official ladies also have to eat and sleep, and they snore, so we don't snore when we sleep.
As soon as a few people finished discussing, they were pushed by the aunt on the side, and they didn't dare to say anything.
Gao Ziyue felt a panic on her face, and looked at the two companions next to her with some resentment.
"Seeing that you are sleeping soundly, I can't bear to wake you up."
Seeing her so sad, Murong Hui couldn't help but laugh and tease.
"I don't even wake me up when I don't play with you."
After saying that, she snorted, got up quickly, and walked towards Xiaolou.
Xu Qing and Murong Hui glanced at each other, then got up and followed.
"Yue'er, don't be angry."
Xu Qing quickly chased a few steps and discussed in a low voice.
Gao Ziyue didn't say anything, but glanced to the side, and Murong Hui smiled: "Yue'er, I'll help you pass this year's year-end exam." ”
In last year's year-end exam, Gao Ziyue's calligraphy and painting did not pass, and she was reprimanded by her master in the end, which was quite a shadow for her.
"Really, Your Highness, you have to count when you speak!"
Gao Ziyue immediately coaxed, leaned over and pouted.
"Naturally, we've got you covered."
Xu Qing sighed in her heart and looked at Murong Hui, she will be fifteen years old in the next year, I am afraid that she will not be able to accompany Murong Hui for too long.
"Even if you get married in the future, as long as you are still in Beijing, we can get together from time to time."
Murong Hui saw her thoughts, and there was a little smile in her eyes.
Xu Qing nodded, but she was not comforted, her aunt introduced her to Suizhou, and she was afraid that she was going to leave Beijing.
Thinking like this in her heart, she couldn't help but feel a little emotional, and after a few people had dinner, she also specially cooked tea for everyone.
After eight days in Zhuangzi, they returned to Beijing.
When a few people returned to the palace, Murong Huishui hadn't taken a few sips when they saw Qingyue running over, and Qingyue's eyes showed a little smile.
"What is it that deserves such pleasure from you?"
Murong Hui was very puzzled, Usually when she is not there, this east side hall is very deserted, there should be nothing wrong.
"The side concubine in Ling Wangfu is seriously ill, and even the child she raised has been handed over to other concubines to raise, I heard that the side concubine doesn't have many days left."
After Qingyue finished speaking, she deliberately glanced at the door, and after making sure that there was no one, she whispered: "I heard that it is also poisoned." ”
"Old Concubine Ling didn't care?"
Murong Hui always felt a little strange, with the importance that Old Concubine Ling had attached to her mother's family before, it was really abnormal to pick on her like this.
"It's really not, that side concubine is very sick, and if there is no antidote for another day or two, this side concubine will really die."
Qingyue thought about it carefully, and also felt a little strange.
"Let Murong Kai ask if it was Princess Ling's hand."
After thinking for a moment, Murong Hui suddenly said faintly.
She had seen the concubine once, and she was a beautiful and young woman.
Qingyue answered, and hurriedly walked out of the small living room.
But within an hour, she got a reply, saying that Princess Ling had not poisoned the side concubine.
When Qingyue got the news at that time, she was also a little dumbfounded, and she didn't know what went wrong.
"Old Concubine Ling is ruthless enough."
After hearing this, Xu Qing couldn't help but think of her grandmother, and there was a hint of coolness in her heart.
Before going to Zhuangzi, her grandmother specially called her into the mansion of Xu Guogong, in order to let Xu Qing meet her distant nephew from her mother's family.
Her nephew is not a martial artist, and his family has long been empty, and now he is just supporting the scene.
Even so, she still dislikes her father as a concubine, but if her grandmother hadn't taken a fancy to her, how could her father's current status in the court go to great lengths to create this chance encounter?
"Sister Xu, what do you think, with such a terrifying expression?"
Several people were silent for a moment, and then they saw Gao Ziyue suddenly speak.
Xu Qing came to her senses at this time, and hurriedly diverted the topic and asked, "I don't understand, why did Old Concubine Ling kill the people on her side?" ”
"I don't know, but our goal has been achieved, and the rest doesn't matter."
Murong Hui's eyes revealed a little coldness, and the other two didn't say anything after seeing her expression.
Several people tacitly did not mention this matter again, and continued to talk about other things.
After hearing about the matter of King Ling's Mansion, several people had some shadows in their hearts, so they all dispersed after a while.
Seeing that everyone was gone, Murong Hui smiled and said, "Mama Huang helped me keep an eye on the side concubine's funeral, I wonder where she will be buried." ”
Mama Huang thought for a while, although she didn't understand Murong Huide's thoughts, she still responded and left in a hurry.
However, three days later, the side concubine died of illness, and it is said that the old concubine Ling was very sad.
In order to comfort her mother, King Ling specially asked people to give the concubine a grand funeral.
That scene did not have to be buried in the main room, and the old lady Ling also insisted that Princess Ling also attend the funeral, from beginning to end.
Princess Ling was really hard-hearted, and she persevered until the end of the funeral, and fell ill that night.
After nightfall, Mama Huang quietly walked into Murong Hui's bedroom and said in a low voice: "The old slave placed people in the side concubine's room before, and I saw that it was not the side concubine who was buried. ”
According to Mama Huang, Concubine Huang's body must still be in King Ling's Mansion at this time.
"Then you keep staring and see what the hell they're going to do?"
Murong Hui put down the book, her eyes showed a little coldness, and a thought popped up in her heart.
"Why did Old Concubine Ling go to such lengths to leave a corpse?"
Mama Huang said cautiously, she was very puzzled, she had been in the palace for many years, and she had experienced a lot of strange things, but she still couldn't figure it out.
"What if the side concubine doesn't die?"
Looking at the candle flame in front of him, Murong Hui suddenly had an idea.
