140. I want to find a way to live
Pinzhu is really confused.
Not only was she confused, but the churning pain in her stomach completely broke her tense nerves.
She didn't hesitate to believe what Chang Zhong said, this is a poison.
This pain didn't even make her think about Changzhong's words, but her instinctive desire to survive made her keep nodding, and only nodded her head.
Pinzhu didn't even know how much time had passed, only that the pain was indeed fading very slowly, until finally it stopped hurting, and she was already soaked with sweat.
The strip of cloth in front of her eyes was finally torn off, and the ropes that bound her were untied.
It took a long time for Pinzhu to get used to the light in front of him.
She saw Chang Zhong, who had already sat back on the chair opposite her, and her brain began to work, remembering what Chang Zhong said just now, let her not run around, let alone talk nonsense.
Otherwise you will die.
He said that it was because he violated the palace rules set by the former queen.
suspects that he ran to report to Dongshu's beauties and asked them to intercept Qi Ying halfway to gain favor, which is already considered a traitor's behavior, so he must control her, and before things are clear, he fed her poison.
She's really unlucky.
A cheap mouth, hurting himself like this, Pinzhu wants to raise his hand and slap himself a few big mouths.
Because he couldn't save the current situation by pumping his mouth, Pinzhu sat down on the chair after relieving, raised his hand and touched his face, and found that he couldn't cry.
She opened her mouth to ask if she could go back, but when she opened her mouth, she found that her tongue was numb, and she could only utter some vague syllables, and she could not say a few complete words.
Pin Zhu was stunned for two seconds, and was about to stand up in horror, when he was stopped by the person who suddenly rushed forward.
Changzhong looked at her and smiled: "I forgot to say, this medicine will paralyze the tongue and vocal cords, and the girl can't talk too much these days, be careful of hurting her throat, even if you take the antidote in the future, you won't be able to recover." ”
Pin Zhu was about to roar, but when he heard Changzhong's words, he immediately shut up.
The people of Dajin are really ruthless, and they don't seem to have any big rules on weekdays.
As soon as she got into the first queen, she let her fall on this big heel, which is simply unreasonable, if you say you doubt, you will doubt you, and if you say that you will be fed poison, you will be fed poison, and it is estimated that even the face of Dongshu envoy and Song Yujiao will not be given.
After all.. That's the Founding Queen.
Even if he is dead, his influence is still unprecedented.
Pinzhu can be regarded as insightful.
She originally thought that after taking the poison, this matter would be over, and then she would stay in peace for a few days, anyway, it was indeed not her business, and it was the right thing to save her life first.
But Pinzhu didn't expect that he would be beaten in the end.
She was really afraid of pain, the tears fell so that the ground was wet, and she was frightened by Changzhong's sentence that she couldn't cure her neck after hurting her neck, and she didn't dare to howl, so she could only cry silently.
Twenty boards were knocked down, Pinzhu was erected up, and after being carried down, he was sent back to the room directly.
Pinzhu lay on the bed, buried her face in the pillow, and gave her the medicine by Lamei, and her trembling body from time to time reflected that she was still in pain.
Pinzhu thought that as long as he survived the wave in front of him, he would be fine.
But at this time, she didn't know that everything had just begun.
Changzhong bluffed Pin Zhu and told Qi Ying and Jiang Wan the results of the question, even if he knew that he was poisoned, Pin Zhu did not change his words, and what he wanted to say was true.
Sun Meiren ran to the Imperial Garden, and it was indeed not Pinzhu who went to ventilate and report the news.
It's not Pinzhu, a few of them have just arrived in the palace, one has no eyeliner and the other has no connections, how do they know?
Jiang Wan thought about it and asked Changzhong to find out where these beauties were doing yesterday.
This bit of news is naturally very simple to ask, and Changzhong soon came back and said that yesterday, the four beauties were all together and gathered in the small courtyard of Yuqing Palace for dinner.
In Yuqing Palace, that's easy to do.
Jiang Wan knew in her heart that Qi Ying had thrown away the matter in her hand and came over, so she urged him to go back first, and it didn't take such a big deal to do it.
Qi Ying frowned, always feeling like a brick, Jiang Wan had to move it if she needed it.
But he didn't say anything, and when he stood up and was about to leave, Jiang Wan tugged on his sleeve and said that he would leave him dinner in the evening.
Qi Ying smiled and left happily.
Jingyue went to Yuqing Palace to invite Concubine Ru and talked about the incident in the Imperial Garden last night, and Concubine Ru smiled after hearing it: "It's really stupid enough, white and blind with a good skin." ”
It's a good beauty, but it's a pity that she doesn't have a brain.
Concubine Ru didn't hesitate, she went to the courtyard with the golden bead and came back, and followed Jingyue to Meixi Palace.
Seeing Jiang Wan, Concubine Ru bowed slightly, sat down and looked for the pastries on her table to eat, and squinted her eyes: "When did Concubine Jing, who is not moving like a mountain, also care about the movement of a little beauty?" She went and went, anyway, she was also from your Dongshu, and she saw clearly that the emperor didn't mean anything to her earlier, maybe she could have opened her mind earlier, and she lived a little longer. ”
Concubine Ru didn't believe that Qi Ying would keep these people in the harem all the time.
I don't believe that Dongshu's envoys really expect that so many beauties with faces can bring huge benefits to Dongshu.
This marriage between the two countries was originally a hoax.
Song Yujiao is a victim, and so is her child, this time she came to investigate the situation of the Great Jin Dynasty, and what Dongshu wanted to infiltrate was not just the palace.
War will come sooner or later.
Qi Ying knows that Dongshu Emperor also knows that Song Yujiao's favor is Qi Ying's bond, and their children are Qi Ying's bond.
And what is involved in this fetter and dominates this fetter is the time bomb in Song Yujiao's body that will kill her at any time.
Emperor Dongshu was sure that Song Yujiao was a chess piece in his hand that he couldn't escape, and he still had Xuan Jin, who seemed to have no fear.
It's a pity that his chess piece has been reborn with an invincible fighting spirit, and it is already on the verge of loosening, and it is about to become the trump card that dominates all wins and losses in turn.
Black clouds are pressing down on the city, and the wind and rain are coming, and Dongshu, which is far away on the other side of the Huai River, has not yet had time to perceive the crisis.
Concubine Ru's words made Jiang Wan laugh: "How many days has she been here?" I can actually know the movements between me and the emperor, and the people in your palace are not strict. ”
Concubine Ru said in a tone that I don't want to carry this pot: "Why did it fall on my head?" The people in my palace all have the same mouth, when have you ever heard that the people in my palace have said anything nonsense outside? ”
Jiang Wan raised her eyebrows: "That box of jewelry is a fashionable style." ”
After saying that, he sighed.
Concubine Ru, you say she can do anything, you just can't say that she didn't do things well after taking the money, and it can't be said to be euphemistic, which affects her reputation in the harem, and she can't receive gold and silver jewelry in the future, what else is there to do in this terrible harem? !
Especially Jiang Wan's sigh, she sighed that Concubine Ru had the last bit of thinking about joking with her.
She put down the pastry in her hand, immediately sat up straight, and said solemnly: "You can say that I am not favored, with a strange temper, and it is not easy to make friends with no one in my eyes, but you can't say that I didn't do a good job of receiving things, you are smashing my signboard, blocking my money, just like smashing my life and killing my parents, the sisterhood in our palace is not so devastating by you, the news has spread to the Golden Pond Palace, how can I pit in the future." How can you talk to the emperor? ”
The three words of Keng Qiying reached Concubine Ru's mouth, she made a sharp turn and swallowed it back.
Jiang Wan was stunned by her string of radical remarks, and she didn't see it, Concubine Ru, who had always been lazy and lazy, was anxious, and she was really unambiguous when she spoke.
Although I really want to see what she can do if she forces Concubine Ru to be anxious, Jiang Wan feels that she is not very kind to play a prank just to satisfy her curiosity, so many people in the palace are watching, what if... She said that if Concubine Ru gets out of control and does something embarrassing, I'm afraid she will really be angry with herself.
Forget it.
The thought that had just floated in Jiang Wan's mind was instantly stifled by herself, she coughed lightly twice, and dragged Concubine Ru, who was standing up quickly when she sat up straight: "Do you have eyebrows?" ”
Concubine Ru took a deep breath, always feeling that her breath was intercepted halfway by Jiang Wan with a question before she could say that it was smooth.
But the words were broken, and it was even stranger to forcibly connect them, so he could only purse his lips, and only replied after half a sound: "Yes." ”
Jiang Wan: "Who is the rumor?" ”
Concubine Ru bowed her head, her straight back finally soothed a little, and it looked like a fried cat had been touched on its back and put away its claws that were about to catch someone.
Jiang Wan felt cute, and when she remembered her little nobleman, when she meowed fiercely, it was exactly the same as when Concubine Ru stared and spoke just now.
She didn't ask again, waiting for Concubine Ru to say it herself.
"Yesterday evening, Zhao Guiren went out, she likes to walk around these days, with that Qingping, I don't know where she went, she doesn't look for trouble, after the death of the Guo sinner, she has been quiet." Concubine Ru talked about Zhao Guiren, and her tone unconsciously brought two points of pity, "It's so quiet that I feel like there is no one in her yard for a long time, Concubine Qing shouts all day long and is scared, but there are really people in the palace, don't you also clamore to clean up one by one?" In the end, there is someone behind it, no more than Zhao Guiren, I see, no one is more afraid of being implicated than her. ”
The Wu family finally got out of Guo's control.
But because of the loss of Guo's support, freedom in exchange for the loss of power, and the influence in the court is even more minimal.
Because he once served sinners as the old master, most of the forces in the court avoided him, and the Wu family did not have the good luck of Shen Kang, so they climbed the big tree of Jiang Yu in time, and were able to seek the shade of the Prime Minister's Mansion for a short time.
What's more, he is still a noble man without grace, and it is already a blessing not to be implicated by the family, and not to be implicated by the Guo family, where is there any extra strength to help the family.
Jiang Wan listened in silence: "You mean, it was Zhaogui who told them." ”
Concubine Ru nodded.
She was very sure of the conclusion she had said, and after she finished speaking, she spread her hands, not knowing whether she felt helpless or expected, and then picked up the unfinished half of the pastry and bit it slowly.
Jiang Wan pondered for a moment, neither she nor Concubine Ru spoke again, and the voices in the room gradually quieted down.
After a while, Jiang Wan looked at Concubine Ru again: "I'll talk to Zhaoguiren." ”
Concubine Ru knew how to bow her head, got up and saluted Jiang Wan, and then took the golden bead and prepared to go back.
When she was about to leave, Concubine Ru suddenly asked more: "What about the little girl that Dongshu brought?" ”
Jiang Wan smiled lightly: "I made some mistakes, and I just punished them." ”
Concubine Ru probably understood something, didn't ask any more, and turned to leave.
Jingyue didn't go out with her, but waited for Jiang Wan to sleep before calling Qingmei and asking her to find Zhao Guiren.
Qingmei said strangely: "Didn't Niangniang sleep?" ”
Jing Yue's side face looked very gentle, but the words she said were a little stiff: "Go quickly." ”
Seeing that Jingyue didn't plan to explain anything, Qingmei hurriedly responded, didn't ask any more, and set off quickly.
Concubine Ru returned to the palace with her front foot for about a stick of incense, and Qingmei hurried into the courtyard of the noble Zhao.
Thinking about this time, will Zhao Guiren also rest, as soon as she stepped into the courtyard, Qingmei saw Zhao Guiren standing on the side of the corridor teasing birds and the two palace maids standing beside her, Qingge and Qingping.
Seeing Qingmei coming, Qingge hurriedly whispered: "Master, the people around Concubine Jing are here." ”
Zhao Guiren responded very lightly, and didn't seem to be surprised at all, she also held a small stick in her hand to stir the bird food in the cage, and when Qingmei arrived at the side of the corridor, Zhao Guiren whistled, with a tone, very good, and then the little lark in the cage also called out as if in response.
Zhao Guiren smiled, then put down the things in his hand, and turned his eyes to look at the green plum who was saluting next to him.
Before Qingmei could say what she was here for, Zhao Guiren had already handed the handkerchief that had wiped her hands to Qingge and walked towards the bottom of the steps.
When he arrived at Qingmei, Zhao Guiren smiled very softly and said, "Let's go." ”
It was as if she had been waiting here all morning, knowing where she was going.
When Qingmei came to the words on her lips, she simply lowered her eyes and led the way.
Zhao Guiren took two steps, and Qingge stepped forward to help her, so nervous that her hands were shaking.
She glanced at Qingge and withdrew her hand: "Wait here, don't follow." ”
Qingge raised his eyes in a panic and looked at Zhao Guiren, wanting to say something, but Yu Guang swept Qingmei, and swallowed back the words that came to his mouth.
She really didn't come with her.,Qingmei didn't look back and wanted to come.。。 I guess I've been watching this way.
Zhao Guiren didn't speak along the way, Qingmei looked at her quietly several times, and she didn't see anything in Zhao Guiren's expression.
She seems to just go to the Meixi Palace to sit.
Very calm, but also fearless.
When he came back with Zhao Guiren, Jiang Wan's bedroom door was already closed.
Jingyue was at the door, and when she saw Zhao Guiren, she bowed with her blessing, but she didn't mean to invite her in, she only said softly: "My mother's nap hasn't gotten up yet, please wait for a while." ”
This is to put the dismount on the bright side.
Zhao Guiren didn't speak, she stepped back slightly to the side and stood, her posture was tall, her eyes were half down, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
Qingmei felt that this atmosphere was too stiff and embarrassing, Mei Xigong had never made a face to other masters like this, so her heart trembled a little, and she leaned over to Jingyue and whispered: "Auntie, what's wrong?" ”
Jing Yue glanced at her, and her tone was soft: "You go to the small kitchen and stare at Niangniang's chicken soup, the emperor will use it when he comes up at night." ”
It seems that this time I am determined not to tell them.
Just like why Pinzhu was punished so heavily, and why things happened so suddenly, they will never know the real answer.
Qingmei got an errand, but it was a relief, she ran away with her skirt, and she didn't dare to look back at the appearance of Zhao Guiren.
The front is quiet.
Zhao Guiren stood, Jingyue also stood, both of them had good stamina, and neither of them moved a step.
It's just that the position where Zhao Guiren is standing is not good, it was still a shady place at the beginning, and the sun slowly went west, and the sun shone on his body.
Jingyue felt the heat under the eaves, not to mention the noble Zhao who was exposed to the sun, the sweat on her forehead flowed down her cheeks to her chin, falling drop by drop, and she didn't raise her hand to wipe it.
Jingyue looked at Zhao Guiren for a long time, but Zhao Guiren kept his eyes down like this, neither silently, nor moving, let alone looking around.
A very small sound sounded in the room, which brought back Jingyue's thoughts, she listened attentively for a while, and then pushed the door into the house, and when Jiang Wan helped her up, she told Jiang Wan about the situation of the noble people.
Jiang Wan heard this, and still got up and put on her clothes unhurriedly.
After waking up, his head hurt a little, so he simply put his hair loose and sat on the couch, and after drinking the sweet water that was tempered, he took a deep breath and asked Jingyue to bring Zhao Guiren in.
Hearing Jing Yue's summons, Zhao Guicai slowly took two steps forward, moved his stiff posture, and waited until he walked steadily before raising his feet to go up the steps.
Before entering the house, Zhao Guigui took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat off his face and tidied up his appearance, so as not to lose his honor in front of Jiang Wan.
When he entered the house and saw Jiang Wan, Zhao Guiren did not pay homage to the concubine.
She stood in the distance for a long time, and suddenly lifted her skirt as if she had made up her mind, and made a big bow to Jiang Wan to pay homage to the queen.
She called Jiang Wan: "Niangniang." ”
The word concubine, don't mention it.
Jiang Wan's movements in her hand paused, and when she looked at Zhao Guiren's gaze, there were many more things of unknown meaning.
Jingyue's heart was even tighter, and she was about to step forward to say something, but Jiang Wan glanced at her and stopped moving.
Zhao Guiren knelt like this, and had no intention of getting up.
The air in the room seemed to have condensed into ice, almost overwhelming the nobleman.
After a long time, Jiang Wan opened her mouth: "Aren't you afraid that this palace will kill you?" ”
She breathed a sigh of relief, she was not afraid of anything else, she was afraid that Jiang Wan would not say a word.
As long as Jiang Wan opened her mouth, there was room for her to speak.
Zhao Guiren replied honestly: "Concubines are not afraid. ”
Jiang Wan's voice was a little low: "Did you tell the news to Dongshu's beauty?" ”
Zhao Guiren happily admitted: "Yes." ”
"What do you want to do?"
"Concubine. I want to see my mother. Zhao Guiren took a deep breath, finally mustered up the courage, raised her body, she looked at Jiang Wan seriously, like a gambler who fought to the death, "The concubine wants to ask Niangniang for a way to live." ”
