Chapter 13: The Settler
Different from the depression of Yanhui Palace, although the group of people who came out of the palace had their own thoughts, the ridicule and disdain for each other were all on the surface, and each did not hold the handle in the hands of the other.
After Zhao Xinran was demoted to Changzai, he did not live in Yanhui Palace, but lived in Xue Concubine's Changding Palace, and the two naturally walked all the way.
Yun Caiqing and Su Qingwan lived in the Yunling Palace, which was in the opposite direction of Changding Palace, and when they left Yanhui Palace, they went straight back, but they were stopped by a voice like a silver bell:
"Yun Concubine and Su Meiren, wait a moment."
Yun Caiqing said without looking back: "Xue Fuyin, I don't have anything to say to you." With that, he walked away.
And Su Qingwan couldn't be like her, so she turned around and said, "What's the matter with Concubine Xue calling concubines?" ”
Before Xue Fuyin could speak, Zhao Xinran preemptively said: "Do you know why Wu Guiren ended up like this?" ”
"Wu Guiren has committed a heinous crime and should have been punished a long time ago, does Zhao Changzai think it's wrong?" Su Qingwan asked rhetorically.
Zhao Xinran approached her and lowered her voice: "Originally, as long as the emperor didn't know about this, she would be fine, but who offended me as soon as she let her live in Yanhui Palace, Su Qingwan, do you think your fate will be worse?" ”
Her words made Su Qingwan shudder, Wu Guiren's matter was planned by Zhao Xinran?
But looking at his appearance, he almost has four big words on his head, which is not like a ...... No, people can't be disguised, she may be disguised.
I caught a glimpse of Xue Fuyin smiling behind her, could it be her?
"If you're afraid, get down on your knees and beg me, and maybe I'll stop caring when I'm happy."
Seeing that she was silent for a long time, Zhao Xinran was very proud, but this was just talking, and the other party demoted her from a concubine to a permanent presence, and she couldn't swallow this breath.
Su Qingwan's face did not change, and she said softly: "The concubine will not give Zhao Changzai a chance, Concubine Xue Niangniang, if there is nothing to do, the concubine will retreat." ”
Xue Fuyin tilted her head slightly, her smile was kind, like a sunset, she just glanced at Su Qingwan lightly, and then turned to leave: "Let's go, Xinran." ”
When he left Yanhui Palace, Zhao Xinran put aside those etiquettes and stepped forward to hold Xue Fuyin's arm, next to her as usual.
Xue Fuyin didn't mind her being like this, but still reminded: "Xinran, our relationship is good, however, you still have to pay attention in the future, when the other concubines and concubines in the harem are high and are seen, they may be reprimanded."
Sister is also for your good, don't think I'm verbose. ”
Zhao Xinran nodded again and again: "Sister Xue is for my good, I am glad to know, and only Sister Xue is willing to help me deal with them, if it weren't for Wu Ningzhu who dared to do something beyond the first day she moved into Yanhui Palace, and used what should have belonged to me, I wouldn't target her, and then Su Qingwan."
My mother said that if you want to live well in the palace, you must seize every opportunity to eradicate the enemies around you and become the emperor's favorite concubine. ”
Her expression was serious, and there was anger in her eyes.
Wu Ningzhu's matter was planned by her and Xue Fuyin, Xue Fuyin gave her ideas, and she found out the relationship between Wu Ningzhu and Wan Rong, and then found Liu Wei and asked him to say the words of late autumn.
Originally, things weren't so complicated, but at that time, she hadn't been reduced to a permanent presence, thinking about grabbing Wu Ningzhu's handle and letting herself have multiple helpers in the harem, who knew that Su Qingwan would be killed halfway.
Unexpectedly, Liu Wei would kill Wanqiu, making this matter completely bigger, but fortunately Liu Wei did not give her out, and what surprised her was that Wu Ningzhu even gave her body to Wanrong.
At the beginning, she just wanted to get some evidence of Wu Ningzhu's relationship with Wan Rong, but in the final analysis, this ending was also Wu Ningzhu's own fault.
An hour later, the door of Yanhui Palace, which had been closed, was opened from the inside, and the palace people dragged Wu Ningzhu, who was covered in blood, out, and Wan Rong was escorted out of the palace by Dong Nian and was imprisoned.
Before dark, the news of Wu Guiren's death spread in the harem, and the cause of death was also leaked.
When such a big thing happens, it is impossible to hide it, and the palace people dare not discuss it openly, but they will discuss it secretly, and they will pass on the news of the inquiry to their masters.
Yun Caiqing was pulling Su Qingwan to listen to the gossip.
Although Yun Caiqing took a step first, after staying away from Yanhui Palace, he slowed down, and when Su Qingwan followed, the two returned to Yunling Hall together, and talked about Wu Guiren on the way.
As soon as they returned to the Yunling Palace, they heard the news that Wu Guiren had been given death.
No, the bold Yun Concubine Niangniang ordered someone to inquire about the affairs of Yanhui Palace, and she was embarrassed to hear the news, so she had to pull Su Qingwan in.
The two sat around an octagonal table, on which there were osmanthus cakes and injured dumplings, and the maid was making tea on the other side, and Shao Ying would inquire about the news one by one:
"Master, Wu Guiren received a zhang of red, and several palace people pressed her and beat her to death in front of the Wan Commander, and the blood stained the ground of Yanhui Palace red.
At that time, Wu Guiren's voice was so terrible that the people in the nearby palace felt creepy when they heard it. ”
Hearing her say that it seemed that she had seen it with her own eyes, Yun Caiqing interrupted: "Ahem, let's talk about the point." ”
Shao Ying reacted immediately and said seriously: "The slave maid heard that the emperor was planning to kill Wu Guiren from the beginning, but she was persuaded by the queen, saying that for the sake of justice, she would first find Mama to examine Wu Guiren's body, and the emperor agreed."
As a result, Wu Guiren really lost his innocence, and the Wan Commanders who rushed in also recruited everything.
At that time, the queen ordered to give Wu Guiren a zhang red, and the commander of Wan knelt on the ground and begged the emperor and the queen to spare Wu Guiren, he was willing to apologize with death, but his plea, the emperor was even more angry, and ordered the palace people who were executed to torture Wu Guiren even more.
When Commander Wan was escorted out of the palace, his eyes were red, and he didn't know whether he was crying or resentful. ”
Yun Caiqing took a sip of tea, "What happened to the Ten Thousand Commanders?" ”
"It is certain that he has resigned from his position, but the emperor has not yet given a specific disposition, saying that he is temporarily imprisoned, and the rest of the slaves and maids do not know." Shao Ying said.
Yun Caiqing said: "Wan Rong is one of the emperor's most trusted people, so naturally he will not be executed easily. ”
Su Qingwan has been quietly teasing the dumpling who wants to lick the wound, smoothing its hair, and the dumpling rubbing her hand with great enjoyment.
Su Qingwan told Yun Caiqing what Zhao Xinran said on the way back to the hall, and let her know that Zhao Xinran and the others were behind the scenes, Yun Caiqing smiled indifferently after knowing it, and didn't take it to heart.
Xiao Yunhan sat alone in the small courtyard, beside her was Xi Yue kneading her shoulders, this hall belonged to the three of them, and now Yun Caiqing and Su Qingwan are close, but she has become an outsider.
At this time, a little eunuch who was following Dong Nian came in from outside the hall and bluntly said that he was here to find Concubine Yun.
The little eunuch saluted Xiao Yunhan, then entered the main hall, finished the matter that Dong Gong bus gave him, and left the Yunling Hall without hurrying.
The little eunuch came to tell Yun Concubine about the process of the cat's injury last night, and Liu Wei just wanted to die happily, and said it all.
It turned out that the dumplings were followed when he smelled the osmanthus cake he brought, and when he had an argument with Wanqiu, the cat came out and scratched Wanqiu's face, and Wanqiu injured the cat with a dagger, and he took the opportunity to strangle Wanqiu.
Liu Wei said that the late autumn would be martial arts, and the strength of the two of them was equal, if it weren't for the sudden appearance of the cat, it would be difficult to kill each other in a short time.
Su Qingwan said: "I always feel that this matter is not so simple. ”
Yun Caiqing said: "Liu Wei has been executed, Wu Guiren and Late Qiu, including the people who waited for her, are dead, even if there is something strange, it will end here." ”
Three days later, outside Jinzhou City, in a carriage, Ji Xuanyuan opened the curtain and looked out, the sunset reflected on his fairy-like face, there was a hazy beauty that was difficult to describe.
Outside the car is a maple forest, which is dyed and the autumn leaves are intoxicating.
In addition to him, there is only a man in Xuanyi who is driving the car.
The moment he lifted the curtain, a milky pigeon flew down from the sky, fell into his hands, removed the letter, and after reading it, he smiled.
It was even smoother than he imagined, and Chu Heng gave Lin Luoshu the position of the commander of the Imperial Forest Army.
The man who drove the car was wearing a hat on his head, and the atmosphere of the rivers and lakes was very strong, at this moment, he didn't have to look back, he felt that the master was in a good mood, and asked: "The valley master has confirmed who is Miss Liang?" ”
"It's nature." Ji Xuanyuan replied casually.
"When you arrive in Kyoto, is the valley lord going to take Miss Liang out of the palace?"
"No, she won't come with me." Ji Xuanyuan still answered, his voice was cold, and he said, "Mo Lin, remember to call my husband." ”
"Got it, master." Merlin replied.
He always felt that it was strange to call Mr. Valley Lord, Mr. is generally the title of Mr. Teacher who is weak in literature, and the methods of the Valley Master are extremely spicy.
For Merlin not to obey the order, he just shook his head, it was just a trivial matter.
When he arrived in Kyoto, the first thing he did was to let Chu Heng reuse him, as for trust, he thought that as long as he was strong enough, Chu Heng would not distrust him.
