Chapter 351: Death
Today, there was a heavy rain, and at dusk, it was still unusually hot.
Qiuyue can't touch God's temperament, and she doesn't dare to let the little maid dry her clothes and dry the bedding, she has scolded God several times today.
Jiaojiao lay on the brick floor, enjoying the cool air on the ground, snorting and sticking out her tongue to dissipate heat, Jiang Sheng learned twice, the more Zheng Lingyi didn't allow him to do this, the more he wanted to learn, he was flicked by Wu Punishment, and he didn't dare anymore.
"Ma'am, it's time to eat." Lu Zhu came in and said to Zheng Lingyi.
Jiang Sheng was lying on the couch, Zheng Lingyi patted him and said, "Let's eat." ”
"Daddy can't come back in time for dinner?" Jiang Sheng said a little unhappily, and turned over the bed very quickly.
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Pei'er's voice outside, "Your Excellency, you're back." ”
Jiang Sheng happily shouted a word and trotted out.
Zheng Lingyi smiled and shook his head, every time Jiang Sheng has something that is not well-behaved, it is Wu Punishment who teaches him a lesson, but Jiang Sheng is still attached to him.
Wu Zhi was in the courtyard with Jiang Sheng in his arms, and when he saw Zheng Lingyi walking out, he didn't show a relaxed and comfortable look on his face, but his eyes flashed and he didn't speak.
The three of them walked to the dining room to eat, Zheng Lingyi looked at Wu Zhi's expression and said, "What's wrong?" Look at you, you're a little depressed. ”
Wu Zhi didn't deny it, just glanced at Zheng Lingyi and said, "Let's eat first." ”
Wu Zhi didn't say a few words during this meal, something pressed on his heart and made him very uncomfortable.
Zheng Lingyi asked the maid to take the sauce to walk around the garden to eat, and then looked at Wu Zhu with puzzled eyes.
Wu Zhi took a deep breath, Zheng Lingyi's heart was cold, her own husband was very clear to herself, and this kind of emotion was rare in him.
"Something happened to the two sisters?" Zheng Lingyi seemed to have the skill of mind reading, and asked before Wu Zhi could open his mouth with difficulty.
Even if she guessed first, the news later was very clear.
"Yes, she, the news from the palace, said that it was her, she died of illness." Wu Punishment's uncertain tone just shows that Zheng Shuangshuang's death is not so simple.
Zheng Lingyi's head was foggy, sadness seemed to come a step late, she was stunned and said, "How come? Didn't Shen Hou say that the medicine had been sent in, and she had improved a little? ”
Wu Zhi looked at her eyes were very red, but there was not a single tear, knowing that she was holding back, her heart was very distressed, and she understood her temperament, she must have to make it clear, pinched her shoulders and took her into her arms, and said: "The news from the harem said that the palace maid was careless and fell into the pool and drowned. ”
The weather was hot, and the corpse was soaked in water beyond recognition, but Zheng Shuangshuang's palace maid recognized the identity by leaning on the mutton fat jade ring on her wrist.
Wu Zhi didn't want to tell Zheng Lingyi in detail about these details.
"Ridiculous, ridiculous! Which palace maid is serving? Zheng Lingyi had a splitting headache, and only after smelling the breath on Wu Zhi's body did he feel a little relieved.
"It's the one who originally served in the Guogong Mansion, and the one who later entered the palace with her is called Huafu, right? She seems to be gone, but her relatives outside the palace have been taken, and a lot of valuable jewelry has been found, and there are a lot of silver taels, which were originally from your sister's palace. ”
Zheng Lingyi closed her eyes, tears finally couldn't help flowing, she muttered: "She was bullied in her illness!" And so much so that they had come to such a field. But, but in the inner garden of the deep palace, how did Hua Fu escape? ”
"If it weren't for the emperor's insistence on the suspicions here, and let Shen Hou carefully investigate the gap in the palace, there are many people, and if there is some leakage of rumors, I am afraid that my sister will not be able to know that your sister did not die of summer fever."
Shen Gui didn't have a few words to Wu Zhi today, he seemed to be busy trying to find out about this matter, so he only said a few words to Wu Zhi and left in a hurry.
The body of the concubine will be buried in the mausoleum, Zheng Lingyi can't even if she wants to worship in the future, her sister is so old, she died in such a scribbled incense, Zheng Lingyi has no one to complain about, no one to hate, and the sad ones are a little numb.
Wu Zhi watched her reach out and pour herself a glass of cold wine, and drank two glasses without stopping, and as soon as the wine glass was poured, it rolled around on the table, fell to the ground and shattered.
"I was the one who knocked over the cup, but it rolled down by itself, so you can't blame me." Zheng Lingyi looked at the broken porcelain on the ground and said sarcastically.
Drinking two sips will not get drunk, but what she says is already drunk.
Wu Zhi couldn't let her continue, hugged Zheng Lingyi back to the inner room, and listened to her remorse and whispered: "If I had known, I would have discussed that method with my younger brother......
The maids each lowered their heads and didn't dare to look, Qiu Yue came in with a few little maids to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, saw the cup broken on the ground, and ordered: "Don't let me hear who is chewing the root of the tongue!" ”
After finishing the words, a voice of Nuo Nuo sounded.
For the palace, the death of a concubine is not a big deal, everything is as usual.
Shen Ze had never entered the harem for a month, and Concubine Song Guifei privately told the queen, "This is a love affair." ”
The two of them were unruly crooked in the blue gauze cupboard, and anyone could see it when they approached, and the queen's pink and full nails touched Song Guifei's shoulder, and said angrily: "You, you can't control this mouth." ”
The queen squeezed out a voice from between her teeth again, and said, "Aren't you going to be hurt too?" After all, it has been hot for a while before, otherwise it seems to be affectionate and cold? ”
"Hmph, if he goes to see more when he is sick, Concubine Zheng will not let the people below be so lazy." Song Guifei said disdainfully, lowered her eyes again, and said with some sadness: "I knew that I would have seen her twice, but she was sick, and I had to get some polite rules when I went." ”
The queen stroked her stomach and said, "Don't blame yourself, I know that you don't want to go to the sick because you want to come to me every day." ”
Song Guifei pursed the corners of her mouth, and also reached out to touch the queen's bulging belly, outsiders may not believe that a concubine and the queen can get close to each other.
Recently, there was a small bubble at the corner of the queen's mouth, and she couldn't eat hot things anymore, and her brother Zhao Yan sent her favorite fried quail, and she had no choice but to give it to others, eating the light dishes that she steamed, boiled, and cooked.
Seeing that the palace maid who was close to her walked in quickly, she said a little eagerly: "Queen Mother, Guifei Niangniang, Jia'an Palace has sent someone to pick up vegetables, this fried quail slave maid should be withdrawn first!" ”
"Eh, it's the palace and not the mother." Song Guifei said, watching the delicious food being taken away.
The queen bent her eyes comfortably and smiled, but after the grandmother came in and finished talking about the queen mother's teaching, most of the appetites of the two of them were gone.
"Every time I rush to eat at mealtime, I come to add to the blockage." Song Guifei said coyly, seeing that the queen's face was ugly, she hurriedly said: "Niangniang, don't take it to heart, she just wants to get the score......
Song Guifei couldn't say it anymore, if it weren't for her brother-in-law and her father, who divided the forces in the west and the south, the emperor and the queen mother would not be so cautious about the Zhao family forces behind the queen.
The emperor only thinks that there is no such person as Song Guifei now, the time when the relationship between the two is short is short, and the time of resentment is long, but everyone in the harem does not dare to disrespect her.
The reason why Zhao Huang is the queen is because behind her is the Zhao family, and the two of them are the same, just a symbol of the forces of all parties in the palace.
Song Guifei thought to herself that she could not enter the palace at the beginning, and it was her own stupidity that made her have no other possibility in her life.
"How did the palace people escape, did Shen Hou find out?" After the meal, she was bored, and the queen asked the palace maid for some fresh news.
"Shen Hou said that there is no omission in the palace, but recently the comprador has added a few newcomers, and the rules for entering and leaving the palace have not yet been familiarized, I don't know if something went wrong here, so that the palace people escaped."
Song Guifei looked at the fruit on her fingertips, remembered something, and said, "Concubine Zheng just went, won't her brother be involved again, right?" ”
The palace maid followed her gaze, understood what she meant, and said cleverly: "Xiao Zheng's fruit is the most infallible, and the baskets made of bamboo strips are used to enter and exit, where can people be hidden?" The big holes are all transparent, and if they were made of wooden boxes, wouldn't they all rot? ”
"That's right, it's better if you don't have anything to do with it, lest you ......
Song Guifei seemed to think of another possibility, she raised her eyebrows, felt a little nonsense, and put this thought behind.
"It's not that it's completely irrelevant, the slave maid heard that one of the new buying shops that Shen Hou is checking seems to be in the dowry of the eldest daughter-in-law of the Guogong Mansion."
At this time, in the Guogong Mansion, Zheng Guogong's study was the most lively, the eldest son and the youngest son were here, but it was not in a harmonious state, but like a fighting, he wanted to peck and bite you to death.
Wu Rouxiang learned that Shen Gui had found out that her shop was on the shop, and it was something related to Huafu, she knew that the Lu family was dissatisfied with Zheng Shuangshuang a lot, and she was first empty in her heart, and then thought that it was Zheng Qijun who gave her the idea, and immediately cried and said that Zheng Qijun was deliberately bad, and Zheng Rong'an sued Zheng Guogong.
Zheng Rongan said that Zheng Qijun had bad intentions, Zheng Qijun knew that Zheng Shuangshuang had died, and he felt very uncomfortable, so he said angrily: "Can I pinch it?" Who knew that it would run into this kind of thing, but my sister-in-law repeatedly cried poor, so I just gave her an idea. ”
Zheng Rongan's face turned red and purple, and he only pointed at Zheng Qijun's nose and scolded his mother.
"If you want me to say, you should check it out and dig out that evil slave!" Zheng Qijun's excitement is very much in line with Zheng Guogong's heart, at least it seems that he is worried about his siblings at home.
"Okay, the palace said that it was an illness and a death, don't say it." Zheng Guogong calmed down and said: "You two are really too angry, just check it, and there may not be anything, go back to your own courtyard, and you are not afraid of making people laugh!" ”
"Daddy." Wu Rouxiang shouted aggrievedly, Zheng Guogong turned his back and ignored it.
When he returned to the courtyard, he was slapped by Zheng Rongan, "Shameful!" Zheng Rongan scolded.
Wu Rouxiang rushed forward and fought with Zheng Rongan, "I'm embarrassed, have you ever taken care of the chewing in this courtyard?" You are high, you have the ability not to eat and drink Sarah! ”
The more the two of them quarreled, the more they didn't talk, and when Lu Shi arrived, he saw a hairpin with a crooked bun, a colorful face, and a dejected and embarrassed look.
