Chapter 218: Ecstasy Incense
The palace people used their sedan chair to send Wang Xuanzhi back to the palace, she said goodbye to Concubine Liu, and walked back alone accompanied by Mama Jinyun.
It was already April in the world, the spring breeze was gradually warming, and the flowers and plants beside the road were also happily blooming this beauty, but in the face of this boundless spring, she had no intention of appreciating it.
In the harem, children are always extremely easy to flow out, the reason for this is clear to everyone, and although Wang Xuanzhi worked hard to keep the child, he was snubbed by the emperor, the queen crossed the river and demolished the bridge, Concubine Yuan sneered, even the palace people can be bullied, and the child is so endured, how can it not make people feel cold.
And although Concubine Liu is ordered to assist in the Six Palaces, according to today's situation, she is also living under the cynicism of the queen and Concubine Yuan every day, and she is cautious in her words and deeds every step, but there is still no shortage of people picking bones in eggs.
And the talented people are now like this everywhere, they have only been in the palace for more than a year, and after losing their favor, they fall with the wind, withered and ruined, and there is no brilliance.
Looking up, the bright sky of spring, blue and clear, the sun is warmly sprinkled on the earth, waking up everything that sleeps, but it can't shine into this dark harem, all this has just begun, but she is already tired, but now, how can she shout tired?
Back in the palace, the big plaque at the palace gate has been changed, the three words of "Chengqian Palace" with golden strokes are dazzling and dazzling under the noon sun, perhaps because she is used to seeing the three words "Yongning Palace", the three words "Chengqian Palace" are so dazzling in her eyes.
The plaque of Yongning Palace was also put aside by the palace people, and her heart suddenly fell to the ground, from then on, this palace is not as peaceful and peaceful as before, because she has to bear the consequences of the rain and dew, she has no intention of getting involved in all kinds of disputes, but in this whirlpool is getting deeper and deeper.
And in the Chengqian Palace, the pear blossoms planted last year are in full bloom in the spring breeze again, the trees are pure and elegant, the fragrance of flowers is bursting, and the begonias on the side are also accompanied by a piece of red, red and white under the background, prosperous and lively.
But her heart was cold.
At this time last year, even in the dormitory, she could hear the cheerful voices of the pear tree, and they were so kind to the pear tree, watering and fertilizing it every day, or pruning and pruning the ground.
I remember Xiao Dong said with a smile: "Niangniang, this flower needs to cut off some branches in order to bear more fruit." And the flower branches that have been reduced can also be placed in the dormitory for the mother, and go to the turbidity of the house full of incense. In the autumn, the fruit is picked and placed in the dormitory, and the room can be filled with the fragrance of pear fruits, and the mother must like it. ”
A pear blossom stretched out diagonally in front of her, and the fragrance rushed straight into her brain, as if it was about to force her tears.
"A pear tree, a stream of moon, I don't know who it belongs to tonight." She twisted the flower branch in her hand, her heart was sour, and she blurted it out, and in her heart, the regret was more than one night.
"Order someone to cut some flowers and branches and put them in Heyekaku, and go to Hechokaku for dinner at noon." She instructed Mama Jinyun behind her.
The snow-like petals came down colorfully, staining her all over her body, Mama Jinyun walked to her side, gently brushed the fallen flowers from her hair, and said with a flickering eye: "Niangniang, Yu Yan and Xiaodong know that Niangniang thinks of them like this, and they will laugh under Jiuquan." ”
"I just want them to stay with me and laugh......," the tears fell without warning.
After a long time, she stopped her tears and said: "The matter of Qingchan Temple has been investigated for so long, and I don't know if Siming has found any clues." ”
At this time, someone from the palace came to announce: "Lord Siming, the imperial guard, asks to see you." ”
She hurriedly wiped away her tears and said, "Please!" ”
So she ordered someone to move the table and chairs to the pear blossom tree, and she sat in the rain of white petals, like a fairy who does not eat the fireworks of the world.
Siming came over in armor, bowed his hand, and handed over a note.
"Remember to eat and wait for me at night." The pen peak is vigorous and powerful, and it seems to be a little more mature and stable than before, and the simple eight words make her heart ripple.
She twisted the note into the palm of her hand, looked up at Siming, and asked, "How is the situation in Qingchan Temple?" Did you find any useful leads? ”
Siming didn't speak, and handed over a small box.
She took it, and as soon as she opened the box, she smelled a strange fragrance that seemed familiar to her, but she couldn't remember where she had smelled it. When I looked closely, I realized that the box contained a round red pill.
"**Xiang?!" She cried out in amazement.
Siming nodded: "Niangniang has good eyesight." ”
She gasped, ** incense can make people lose their will and cause delirium, in order to achieve the effect of aphrodisiac, that time Wei Zhongxian tried to use ** incense to confuse the emperor who was still the king of faith at the time, but she saw through it and used a silver needle to seal the emperor's acupuncture points to escape a catastrophe.
After the emperor ascended the throne, ** incense was listed as a forbidden drug in the palace by the emperor. Now it has appeared in Qingchan Temple!
"Not only was ** incense found in Qingchan Temple, but now it can be determined that it was not the assassin who insulted those palace maids, but someone secretly put ** incense into the monks' meals, and the monks were delirious and ...... the palace maids"
Si Ming couldn't make a sound when he said this, and the hand holding the sword was clearly jointed and trembled slightly.
There are more than 100 monks in Qingchan Temple, but there are only about a dozen palace maids...... What does this mean? She suddenly didn't dare to think about it, for women, being humiliated once is also an unbearable shame, let alone being so ***. Traitor.
The truth is always too cruel, she looked at Mama Jinyun who was serving her tea, and her eyes were full of mist. Mama Jinyun has never complained to herself until now, and she has not said a word about the events of that night, and she will not open the wound. But her heart was like being stabbed by Ling Chi, stabbing one by one, so painful......
What is her suffering compared to those who sacrificed for herself?
"Does the emperor know about this?" There was a tremor in his voice that he couldn't even notice.
Siming nodded: "This matter has been reported to the emperor." ”
"How did the emperor react?" She was anxious to know the emperor's attitude, because it was related to the success or failure of her revenge plan.
"The emperor stared at the ** incense for a long time and didn't say anything, but the last general could see that the emperor was very angry, but the emperor didn't say anything else, just asked us to continue to investigate secretly, but we were not allowed to leak the news."
Continue to investigate, but don't leak the news...... Why is that?
"Well, I see, you go down first. Try your best to avoid some people, and don't let others know that you have been here, lest others know that my relationship with the emperor has eased. When I go back, please help me tell the emperor, I received the note, the emperor is busy with government affairs, pay more attention to his body. ”
He also ordered Mama Jinyun to let Siming take the lotus seed soup that had been prepared to the emperor back, looking at Siming's back, his mind was flowing rapidly, and some things gradually became clear in his mind.
