13. Schadenfreude

"Why did I hear that you pushed Concubine Duan into the water?" Feng Moyu's eyes narrowed slightly, staring at Ning Guiren, this Ning Guiren is the concubine of General Gao, relying on her father's outstanding military achievements in the previous dynasty, and he became more and more presumptuous in the harem.

"The concubine is wronged, the emperor, the concubine is really wronged!" Ning Guiren cried like a tearful person, delicate, even Xia Li couldn't bear to look at it.

"Hmph, everything will be decided when Concubine Duan wakes up!" Feng Moyu strode towards the hall, only to see a few maids waiting beside the couch, and Concubine Duan was lying there with a pale face, unable to drink the medicine at all.

Seeing the emperor, everyone hurriedly knelt on the ground to say goodbye, and Feng Moyu asked, "What happened to Concubine Duan?" ”

"If you go back to the emperor, Concubine Duan Niangniang is just frightened when she falls into the water, and she chokes again, and she will wake up after a while." The Imperial Doctor replied in a panic.

"Your Majesty, the concubine really didn't lie, and when Sister Duanfei wakes up, she will be able to return the concubine's innocence!" Ning Guiren stood behind Feng Moyu with an aggrieved face, repeatedly emphasizing that he was innocent.

Feng Moyu stared at Concubine Duan on the bed, only to see that her face was bloodless, her long hair was soaked, and she was unconscious, and turned her head to look at Ning Guiren coldly, this Concubine Duan was the daughter of the former court's concubine, if there were three long and two short in this harem, the former dynasty was afraid that it would be troublesome for a while.

"You go back first, and then talk about it when Concubine Duan wakes up." Feng Moyu said in a deep voice, on one side is the Taifu, on the other side is the general, neither of them is peaceful, so he can only wait for Concubine Duan to wake up before making a decision.

Over there, Ning Guiren hurriedly knelt down to thank him, and was supported by the maid and walked out of Yaohua Palace.

Xia Li saw Concubine Duan's appearance, and her heart was also sour, first, she felt distressed for Concubine Duan, and second, will she be like this in the future and be plotted by others? Not to mention whether this Ning Guiren is innocent, just because this Duan Concubine fell into the water, she is indispensable, if Duan Concubine wakes up, she will be Ning Guiren, I am afraid that the emperor will give her an explanation, for a while, Xia Li began to sweat for Ning Guiren.

dismissed all the concubines, Xia Li returned to the Flowing Water Palace, lay on the soft couch in front of the window, and fell asleep after a while.

I don't know how long it took, the sky gradually darkened, and red lanterns were lit everywhere in the palace. ”

Xia Li came back to her senses, saw Luo'er's nervous face, frowned and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Niangniang, Concubine Duanniang just woke up." Luo'er looked around and whispered, "The emperor is now in Yaohua Palace." ”

"Oh?" Xia Li completely sobered up and asked in a low voice, "But what happened?" ”

"Concubine Duanniang said that it was Ning Guiren who pushed her into the water with her own hands!"

Xia Li's heart sank, and sure enough, as she guessed, Concubine Duan would not fall into the water for no reason, but this Ning Guiren's aggrieved expression today, was she pretending?

"Ning Guiren is kneeling outside the Yaohua Palace now, swearing that he is innocent, but Concubine Duan is sure that it is her, I'm afraid..."

"What did the emperor say?" Xia Li blinked and asked.

"The emperor believes that Concubine Duan Niangniang has already called the Criminal Department, and Ning Guiren will be taken away in a while."

"What about the Queen?" Xia Li asked.

"The queen said that this is a shame for the harem, and it is all up to the emperor to decide."

Xia Li was stunned for a moment, it stands to reason that this is a matter of the harem, the emperor should not interfere, the queen can naturally handle it well, but why did the queen take herself out and throw this matter to the emperor? Is it because you are afraid that there will be some movement in the previous dynasty??

"This Ning Guiren quickly came to get close to the queen, and now that something like this has happened, the queen can be regarded as losing a general, so she let the emperor decide so hastily? Just because of Concubine Duan's words. Luo'er calmly analyzed and said to Xia Li.

Xia Li nodded, "What you said is not unreasonable, after all, in this deep palace, not everyone can believe it, although Concubine Duan introduced the palace to the emperor and let the palace gather thousands of favors, but..."

"Niangniang, don't think too much, at this time, you still pay attention to yourself." Luo'er was even more worried that the same thing happened to Xia Li, after all, Xia Li was the time when the Holy Grace was strong.

At night, it rained drippingly, and news came from outside, Feng Moyu rested in Yaohua Palace, saying that she was going to accompany Concubine Duan, for fear that she would be frightened, Xia Li felt a little lost in her heart, yes, in this huge harem, how could she be alone until she grew old?

In the harem, the gossip spreads the fastest, and no matter how much wind and grass can hide the eyeliner that the concubines put down in the palace, especially the fact that Ning Guiren pushed Duan Concubine Niangniang into the water, many rumors have been spread, and for a while, it has become the talk of the entire harem after tea and dinner, but no one feels sorry that Ning Guiren was taken away by the criminal department at the same age.

In the past few days, it has been rumored in the harem that Ning Guiren died unjustly, saying that he is angry and ghostly, and he often haunts Duanfei's Yaohua Palace, especially in the middle of the night, Duanfei has been in low spirits for several days, and Feng Moyu has been with Yaohua Palace for three consecutive days, so that Duanfei is suddenly full of grace, and many people see Xia Li, with a gloating face.

In the past few days, the queen has been sick, so that the concubines in the palace have saved the rules of asking for peace, and today came the news that the queen summoned the concubines in the palace, Xia Li was puzzled, and went early.

There are a lot of rainy days today, but the weather is sunny today, when Xia Li arrived, some concubines were already waiting early, but Ning Guiren, who was the most tricky on weekdays, was also a pity in his heart.

The queen glanced at the palace concubines who were sitting with her hands down, and said with a smile, "I haven't seen you for a few days, and my sisters are becoming more and more energetic." ”

"Niangniang said that she laughed, but it hasn't rained continuously in the past few days, and she has moisturized and moisturized the concubines who have not been able to meet the nectar for a long time, so that when the emperor sees him, he won't be able to recognize the concubines!" Concubine Mei over there glanced at Xia Li and sneered.

Xia Li knew that she hadn't seen the emperor for three days, and this Concubine Mei must have gotten the news, and she wasn't angry, she just pretended not to understand the general light smile, and all the concubines over there covered their mouths and laughed, but they still didn't peek at Xia Li's expression.

The queen laughed, "You are really powerful. No wonder the emperor said several times that Concubine Mei was a knife-mouthed tofu-hearted. ”

"The queen is laughing at the concubine!" Concubine Mei deliberately followed the queen's words and continued, "The knife mouth is not a concubine, it is a concubine, it is Concubine Duan, I heard that Concubine Duan has been praying for Ning Guiren in front of the Buddha for several days, may God give Ning Guiren a chance to be a new person, and continue to be a man in the next life!" ”

"And this?" The queen looked at everyone in surprise and asked, "But really?" ”

"Of course it's true, the queen mother has been unwell these days, but she doesn't know some things in this palace." Concubine Wan sat beside Concubine Mei and answered, "The ghosts and ghosts shuttle in the palace of Concubine Duan every night, saying that it requires the emperor's dragon yang qi to suppress it!" ”
