Chapter 30: The Silverfish Incident
"That's right, Niangniang, the emperor not only talked to her, but also took out something from his arms and gave it to the little slut!"
If Yuqing was here, she could hear that this voice was the voice of Cuizhi, who was tied up outside the remote palace in the afternoon and talked to the little eunuch.
"Damn! This Ilgen is a slutty slut just like her sister! The woman's voice was sharp, and the dress she was wearing was obviously a regulation only for the second concubine.
The woman's originally beautiful face became fragmented and ugly because of anger and jealousy.
"Concubine Rong, that useless thing!" Women secretly hate.
"I would have let her kill that little slut directly, but she grinded and chirped, but she broke the grandmother next to her!"
"Mother, what should I do now?" Cui Zhi stood aside respectfully, completely different from the arrogant appearance when facing Xiao Anzi in the afternoon.
"What to do! What is going to happen to Hongu! ”
The woman screamed again, and swept all the teacups on the table to the ground, "All of them are rubbish, and you have missed all the good opportunities!" Now I still ask what to do with Hongu! ”
"What Niangniang said is that the slave is useless, and the slave has betrayed the trust of the mother!" Cui Zhi hurriedly knelt down and slapped herself a few times neatly.
"That's it!" The woman calmed down with a crisp slap, and she glanced at Cuizhi who was kneeling on the ground with disgust.
"After all, Ilgen Yuqing is still in the palace, just find another chance. In addition, that little Anzi ......"
"Don't worry!" Cuizhi was relieved to hear the woman's words.
Then he replied flatteringly, "That little Anzi was knocked a few times with a wooden stick by Ilgen Yuqing, but he fainted. ”
"However, those who are not good at doing things are naturally not worthy to stay in this world. So slave maid, it's been dealt with a long time ago! His corpse should have now gone outside the city with the swill carts that entered and exited the palace! ”
"Hmm. This thing is still reliable for you! The woman glanced at her.
Then he said casually, "Bengong, give you another chance." If you can't do it again, then let your old son and her nephew, who has just completed the moon, go to accompany that little Anzi together! ”
"Slave, slave must do it well!"
Yu Qing returned to her room, and the jade paste thrown to her by the emperor was placed on the table, and she sat next to her, a little stunned.
When she returned, no one was surprised where she had gone.
Thinking about it, everyone thought that they had spent a day at Concubine Zhen's place.
It's just that......
Now the situation in the palace makes her more and more incomprehensible.
Originally, I just wanted to turn over the case, but I didn't want to pull myself into a deeper whirlpool.
Concubine, Queen Mother, Your Majesty.
And the person who is going to kill her today......
Everything, like a large fog net, dazzled Yu Qing to see the direction clearly. Thinking of this, Yu Qing knocked on her head with a headache.
"Forget it, don't think about it so much yet!" Yu Qing let out a long sigh, turned off the light and lay on the bed, the double exhaustion of her mind and body made her fall asleep as soon as she closed her eyes.
The next morning, a corner of the imperial dining room was full of people.
"What's going on?"
Li Defu woke up in the morning and saw this chaotic scene, his angry teeth itched, he rushed into the crowd, and shouted, "What are you doing here without working one by one?" I don't want my head anymore, do I? ”
"No, Grandpa Li......"
One of the eunuchs, whose face was full of melancholy, glanced at the mess on the ground, and lamented, "Gonggong Li, the silverfish that the emperor prepared for the dwarf kingdom are all dead!" ”
"What, what?"
Li Defu was shocked, looked at the ground fixedly, and wanted to pass out immediately, he trembled his fingers and asked, "What's going on!" Good whitebait, how come there are only some fish bones left! This whitebait, who cares for it! ”
"Yes, it's Aunt Yuqing!"
A palace maid whispered.
"Passover?" Li Defu gritted his teeth.
"Where's she?"
"Yes, it's still in the room." The palace maid said again.
Then seeing that everyone was looking at her, she smiled embarrassedly, "The room of the slave maid and several sisters is not very far from Aunt Yuqing's room. Yesterday was very late, and the slave maid got up at night to see Aunt Yuqing come back, but she didn't come out this morning, thinking that she was still in the room. ”
Still in the room!
Li Defu laughed angrily, what can he still do in the room? It's definitely a big night's sleep!
Thinking of this, his head ached.
Everything else is a trivial matter, but this silverfish must be put out at tomorrow's banquet after the emperor issued an order a few days ago.
Now that all the whitebait is left are bones, what is he going to do! Head?
When Li Defu thought of this, he felt more and more remorseful.
I knew that this would happen, and I shouldn't have felt that it was reliable to give her the silverfish that day.
"What's going on?" When Yu Qing woke up in the morning, he saw the lively scene in the imperial dining room, which was a little inexplicable.
When I saw that Li Defu was also there, I was even more puzzled.
"What's going on?"
Li Defu took a deep breath, he rushed to Yu Qing, pointed to a pile of bloody fish bones on the ground and said angrily, "Ilgen Yu Qing, you take a good look at it!" On this earth, but the silverfish I told you to take good care of? ”
"Whitebait?" Yu Qing suddenly realized that what happened yesterday was too urgent, and she completely forgot to take care of the silverfish, which ......
This, just one day, the fish turned into fish bones?
"Remembered?" Li Defu glanced at her hatefully.
"This is the whitebait that the emperor specially ordered to be laid out at tomorrow's banquet! You have neglected to do this, do you want to join me and you to take your head to the emperor to ask for guilt? ”
Yu Qing didn't know how to react for a while.
Intuitively, she thought that something was wrong with this matter, although she didn't take care of the whitebait yesterday, but everyone in the imperial dining room knew how important this thing was, and it was impossible to let the silverfish turn into fish bones.
But because of the special circumstances of yesterday, she was not quite sure what had happened.
When Yu Qing was trying to see where there was any suspicion, she accidentally caught a glimpse of a palace maid in the corner, and she actually let out a strange smile. When she took a closer look, the palace maid hurriedly lowered her head.
"It's weird!" Yu Qing frowned.
"What did you say?" Li Defu heard Yu Qing's voice and hurriedly asked.
"What the slave means is that this silverfish thing is a little weird!" Yu Qing narrowed her eyes slightly, walked over to the fish bone, and squatted down.
In fact, in the puddle on the ground, in addition to fish bones, there are many mutilated whitebait corpses, and the corpses are full of tearing marks.
"Father-in-law, look, the bite marks on this fish are obviously bitten by cats!"
Yu Qing pointed to the bite marks on the corpse of a whitebait and said, "But as we all know, although there are many wild cats in the palace, since the imperial dining room used food to poison a batch of wild cats five years ago, few cats have come here." ”
Yu Qing stood up and analyzed: "I've been in the imperial dining room for so long, and I've never seen a wild cat break into the imperial dining room!" Now, a cat bite mark has been found on the whitebait's body, which is obviously wrong. ”
"Another ......"
Yu Qing pondered for a moment and continued, "After you handed over the silverfish to the slave a few days ago, the slave and maid learned a lot about the attributes of this silverfish. This silverfish is a unique product of the dwarf country, and every year with the dwarf people come to our dynasty after thousands of miles, even so, they are still alive and well. As a result, the whitebait is also known as the tiger fish, and its life is tenacious and especially noisy. ”
"Even if there is a cat, they break into the imperial dining room and meet this whitebait and want to catch it and eat it. The whitebait will not be quiet, but will flutter very hard. In this case, such a bunch of whitebait was bitten, but no one in the imperial dining room heard the movement, which is obviously unreasonable! ”
Yu Qing's words obviously persuaded Li Defu, but after he pondered for a moment, he nodded: "Then according to what you said, this silverfish ......"
"This whitebait should have been drugged. I was stunned or drugged to death, so there was no movement at all. There was a hint of solemnity in Yu Qing's eyes.
This matter is obviously aimed at her again.
After all, everyone knows that she is in charge of the silverfish, and if something happens, she will be the first to be punished.
Who wanted to put her to death so much, Yu Qing secretly hated in her heart.
"Father-in-law Li, in such a situation, can you go to the Tai Hospital and ask a Tai doctor to come over and verify it?" Yu Qing asked.
"This ......" Li Defu hesitated at the moment, it's not that he didn't want to invite, after all, he was also responsible for the accident with this silverfish.
If it can be found that it is a man-made assassination, he will naturally not be held solely responsible. It's just for the little whitebait, go to the doctor of the Tai Hospital, if it is known by the top......
"Don't bother so much, I just brought a Tai Doctor here!" Just then, the emperor appeared.
"Your Majesty!"
Li Defu was shocked, and hurriedly led everyone to kneel, "Screaming Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!" ”
"Alright, excuse me. Get up! ”
The emperor said, putting all his eyes on Yu Qing's body. Yesterday, I learned that this Irgen was sick, and thinking about the movement under the moon yesterday, I wanted to come and take a look.
I wanted to see if it was the moonlight that was too charming to dazzle his eyes, or if this Ilgen Yuqing really attracted him.
Otherwise, how could he be interested in a woman with a disfigured face? simply pretended to be the imperial doctor's effort to ask for peace and well, but when he came here, he never thought of encountering such a thing.
Thinking of the woman just now, who was rational and calm, he felt a little itchy in his heart.
"I've just heard about this silverfish." His gaze was steady, staring at Yu Qing.
"Since Ilgen Yuqing said that this whitebait was drugged, then let Imperial Doctor Wang know if what she said is true?"
"Slave, thank you, Your Majesty!" It is blessed with a blessed body.
"Thank you in no hurry."
The emperor waved his hand and said, "If the silverfish is really drugged, I will definitely find out, if it is not ......"
He paused for a moment and looked at Yuqing with a smile: "If not, Ilgen Yuqing, you are willing to bear all the responsibility for the death of this silverfish?" ”
Yu Qing raised her head suddenly, and then realized that something was wrong, and quickly lowered her head and replied, "The slave is willing." ”
