Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Concubine Who Seems to Favor the Sixth Palace (17)
This morning, the queen's palace was very lively, one was that Concubine Shen, who had been silent for a long time, finally appeared, and the other was that the news that Concubine Xiao was pregnant was still spread, and the emperor also knew about it, but he didn't say anything, just asked about the situation of Concubine Shen.
"Back to the emperor, today the concubine Niangniang went to say goodbye to the queen."
"What? Is she well? ”
"It's probably good, otherwise the mother wouldn't have gone out."
"Well, I'll take a look at it when I'm done with these pieces."
"Yes."
"It's rare to see Concubine Shen come out today, is she feeling better?" As a queen, the superficial work of condolences still has to be done.
Compared with the past, today's concubine has a more cold taste, and the whole person has a colder temperament.
"Let the queen mother worry, the concubine is fine." The queen smiled with relief, "That's good," and at the same time turned her gaze to Concubine Xiao, who had been unknown, but it was still pregnancy that made her, "Concubine Xiao is pregnant now, and she has to protect her body and give birth to a boy and a girl for the emperor smoothly." ”
Concubine Xiao also replied respectfully, "Thank you for reminding the queen, the concubine will pay more attention, after all, the emperor has just lost a child, and the concubine also wants to make up for the emperor's regrets, and Sister Concubine Yan will definitely be able to give birth to Lin'er for the emperor in the future, so my sister should not be too immersed in sadness." ”
What does this mean, everyone here understands, the mouth is honey belly sword, and every sentence is pierced in the chest.
"Naturally, I always have to look forward, but I haven't congratulated my sister on being pregnant."
"My sister tormented me, I know that my sister has just experienced pain, and I really didn't mean to make my sister unhappy." This is said as if it was the fault of the concubine,"
Concubine Tong said that I was wrong to blame, they all say how people's hearts are, and look at how other people's minds are, if this is the case, Concubine Xiao, your words are a bit intriguing. ”
It was the first time that Concubine Xiao discovered that the eloquence of the current Concubine Shen was really good, and her face was a little angry for the first time.
The queen played the role of a peacemaker again, "Okay, don't fight anymore, both of them are unintentional, why do you speculate?" ”
"Yes, the concubine knows her mistake."
Concubine Xiao was quick to admit her mistake. The queen nodded with satisfaction, and then turned her head to look at Concubine Shen, "Concubine Shen, the emperor instructed the palace to investigate your affairs thoroughly, give you an explanation, and also give an explanation to the harem, and bring people up!" ”
Seeing that it was Amber in the palace of Concubine Shen, Amber first saw Concubine Shen, her eyes didn't dare to look directly, and when she glanced at the other side, it was Concubine Xiao, and she lowered her head again, and never dared to raise her head at will.
"Concubine Shen, do you recognize who she is?" Concubine Shen raised her head and gestured to He Xiang beside her, "Little master, it's the amber in our palace, the one who was sent to find the imperial doctor and the emperor on the day of your miscarriage." ”
"Oh~ It turned out to be amber, but why does it look like this?" "This palace maid is suspicious, and someone has proved that this palace maid went to Concubine Xiao's palace on the day of your miscarriage, and the testimony was the guard who patrolled in shifts that day."
Concubine Shen has not yet spoken, Jin Xi beside Concubine Xiao knelt up, "The slave maid didn't know that she was going to pass the imperial doctor that day, before the slave maid looked at her pitiful, because of the friendship of the townspeople from time to time to help, I really don't know the situation that day, that day just saw her come over, asked if there was anything wrong, she shook her head and only said that it was okay, the slave and maid pulled her to say something homely, and left in the middle of the night, please forgive the queen and the concubine!" ”
This is like Concubine Shen is wrong, what is pity? There is no place in the palace, and it is only when it is excluded by others.
"Your words alone are not enough to rule out suspicion." The queen glanced at the guard, "Guard, what did you see that day, and tell me." ”
"Yes, Queen. On that day, the minister was on duty to patrol, and happened to see the palace maid hurriedly coming out of the Changle Palace, running to the side of Concubine Niangniang, and then almost half an hour later, I saw her coming out of the palace concubine Niangniang's palace and going directly to the palace gate, seeing her in a hurry, he stopped her and reported the matter to the queen's mother. ”
"Amber, Niangniang called you to find the emperor and the imperial doctor, you will drill elsewhere." He Xiang is angry. "Slave maid...... Slave maid ......" Amber understood her situation after hearing Jinxi's words, and mentioned her fellow villagers just to warn her that her family was in their hands, and she had to speak carefully.
"This servant girl is struggling, but she may not be able to tell the truth." The concubine on the side opened her mouth.
"Then torture to extract a confession?" Concubine Shen said what was in the minds of those present. Concubine Xiao said slowly, "Things are black and white, there are always clues, if you are tortured at will, then everyone in this palace is afraid that they will have to live in fear." ”
The queen also noticed Concubine Xiao's pregnancy, and most of the pregnant people did not want to see blood, "Amber, this palace asks you, what did you do in the palace on the day of Concubine Shen's miscarriage?" And what is the delay in returning? ”
"Back to the queen's mother, the slave maid went to the palace of Concubine Xiao, but she did talk to Aunt Jinxi for a while, and then came back, but when she came out, she was pulled by the sister in the palace of the concubine, and the concubine dragged the slave and maid for a while before letting the slave and maid come back, and the slave and maid were afraid that Niangniang and Aunt Hexiang would blame and dare not go back, so they wanted to ......" said and quickly kowtowed in the direction of Concubine Shen, "Ask for forgiveness, the slave and maid know that she is wrong." ”
"You, what are you talking nonsense, when did I summon you!" Concubine Xiu originally thought that she would not do her business today, but she never thought that this would pull herself into the water.
"Concubine Xiu, as the head of the first palace, you are so open-mouthed, you don't look like a concubine at all!"
The queen reprimanded sternly, but her eyes were looking at Concubine Xiao. "Yes, the concubine knows that she is wrong. But this matter is absolutely not to do the affairs of the concubine, this servant girl casually framed me, I am wronged! ”
"Yes, you can't do anything based on this side alone."
Concubine Shen had a rare look of not doing her business.
Concubine Xiu glanced at Concubine Shen in surprise, she never thought that she would speak for herself.
"Queen Mother, what the slave and maid said is true, if there is a lie, let the slave and maid die well!" As soon as these words came out, everyone looked different, Concubine Xiu looked fierce, but she never thought that this cheap maid really wanted to kill herself, looking at everyone's attitude, she was afraid that she was going to be unjustly killed, and in a panic, her eyes glanced at Concubine Xiao, with a hint of pleading, but Concubine Xiao drank tea slowly, not caring.
I just glanced back inadvertently, and there seemed to be a clue.
Suddenly, Concubine Xiu thought that she had recognized it, and even the queen had to assert that she wanted Concubine Xiu to admit it, but for now, ...... Unexpected. "Back to the queen's mother, the concubine knows who really killed the child in the belly of the concubine!" The crowd was in an uproar.
