Chapter 265: The Man Who Gave Gu
At this moment, Concubine Jing inserted a short sword into her chest, Jin Lingluo tried to seem to hold someone's hand, it was warm, so she held it tightly, but then it gradually became cold, and when Jin Lingluo opened her black eyes, Concubine Jing smiled and fell beside her.
Life has never been close to you, and death must be by your side.
"Concubine Jing, this ...... What is the situation of the queen mother? Why did Concubine Jing commit suicide? Jin Lingluo looked at Concubine Jing in puzzlement, and then turned around and asked Princess Qingyu and the Queen Mother.
"Your Majesty, the witchcraft in the palace was originally done by Concubine Jing, and someone came to drag Concubine Jing's body out." The queen mother sharply ordered the eunuch to step forward and drag Concubine Jing out.
"Your Majesty, how are you feeling now?" Qingyu came to Jin Lingluo's bed and asked with concern.
At this time, the guards captured the palace maid beside Concubine Jing and brought her to Shou'an Palace.
The palace maid's body trembled, and she didn't dare to come out.
Now that Concubine Jing is dead, I don't know how she got the witch Gu, whether she was vicious or being used by others.
"Say, where did Concubine Jing's witchcraft come from?"
The Queen Mother sat beside the emperor's bed and spoke majestically.
"Slave maid...... Yes, one day Concubine Jing went to the Imperial Garden to see a palace maid to mention this matter, Dao hometown has this witchcraft, and then, Concubine Jing sent the slave maid out of the palace to look for it, and met a black-clothed Taoist priest who granted the slave and maid the law of witchcraft. ”
The palace maid made a faint voice timidly, but everyone in the room heard it clearly.
"I didn't expect Concubine Jing to look weak and lovely on weekdays, but she is such a vicious person." Qingyu muttered indignantly.
"Your Majesty, now you know the disadvantages of being alone in favoring one person." The queen mother knew in her heart that this harem, which seemed to be as calm as water on the surface, was actually turbulent inside, and she didn't know if it would hurt the emperor's safety one day.
People are jealous, Jin Lingluo knew it, but he didn't know it was so terrifying.
"Now that Concubine Jing has confessed, then you can let the blue baby out." Qingyu came to Jin Lingluo's side and asked, since the truth was revealed, there was no need to ground the blue baby.
"Think again." Jin Lingluo thought about it, this might be able to protect the blue baby, and now that the Yulin Palace is heavily guarded, no one will easily harm her.
Jin Lingluo was secretly angry in his heart, this was just such a big incident not long after returning to the palace, presumably there would still be people in the harem who wanted to harm the blue baby.
"Your Majesty, since the queen has a miscarriage and the harem is scarce, how about arranging the selection of concubines on the first day of the next month?" The queen mother saw that the queen was now in poor health and the concubines were secretly damaged, so it was time to add some new looks.
"Queen Mother, now that the court is in turmoil, the affairs of the people have not ended well, and the sons think that it is not appropriate to choose a concubine in this matter, and then choose a concubine to enter the palace at the beginning of spring."
Jin Lingluo really has no leisure to choose a concubine now, the minister of the court died tragically for no reason, and the soldiers wanted to raise troops to plot, at such a time, Jin Lingluo said that the queen mother was not easy to refuse, so he had to obey the emperor's wishes.
"That's it, Your Majesty, you have to take care of the dragon's body, and the queen mother will go back." The Empress Dowager saw that there was a battle in the palace, and now was no longer the time for her to intervene, so she informed Jin Lingluo and Qingyu and returned to Yong'an Temple.
After the queen mother left, Jin Lingluo came to the dragon couch and sat down in front of his clothes.
The bed has been wiped clean by the palace maids and eunuchs, and replaced with a brand new gold silk brocade quilt.
"Your Majesty, Qingyu has also stepped down." Princess Qingyu saw that the emperor was worried, so she stopped bothering, so as not to annoy Jin Lingluo, and also withdrew from Shou'an Palace.
"How is Concubine Ling now?" Jin Lingluo turned around and asked Chen Cheng beside him.
"Your Majesty, you can rest assured, Concubine Ling is fine, and the breakfast sent has also been used, just ask the palace maid about your safety." Chen Cheng made it clear one by one, he knew that the emperor was special to the blue baby, and if he wanted to win the emperor's heart, he would definitely know what the emperor wanted to hear.
Jin Lingluo was comforted, and the blue baby won Jin Lingluo's heart.
Jin Lingluo took up the pen on the desk, and his heart was full of emotion, a cup of tea, and a lifelike painting of mountains and rivers was presented on rice paper.
This time, who can solve the confusion in Jin Lingluo's heart, who can help.
Jin Lingluo looked at this handsome mountain and river, and suddenly remembered Jing Yan's smiling face, Jin Lingluo buried his eyes, and then remembered what this person had done.
Wit? Jin Lingluo's gloomy expression suddenly brightened a little, the concubine can be renewed if it is lost, and the courtier can be renewed if it is lost.
"Chen Cheng, call Meng Shi and Zhou Wensheng from the Ministry of Rites to me." Although it was not the time of the imperial examination at this time, Jin Lingluo thought that he could change the system of electing officials, and now he was employing people and was treated special in a special period.
The so-called scientific examination can also be regarded as an additional test in a year, the previous imperial examination questions are all questions from the emperor, this time, Jin Lingluo wants to find another way, as long as those who come here to take the exam, they can speak freely, and this time Jin Lingluo decided to personally invigilate the examination and read and approve it in person.
After Jin Lingluo discussed with Meng Shi and the Ministry of Rites, although Zhou Wensheng of the Ministry of Rites was still afraid: "If the emperor appears in the examination room in person, there will be many people, and if there are idle people who hurt the emperor, what should I do." ”
"Alas, the emperor's safety is in danger, and General Ben will protect it thoroughly, and you civil servants are cowardly." Meng Shi opened his mouth disapprerovingly.
"What do you call us Wenchen, I am thinking more about the emperor, unlike you generals who know how to fight and kill all day long, and don't care about the front and the back."
Zhou Wensheng also refuted without scruples.
Subsequently, this one word and one word to me evolved into an argument between the civil minister and the military minister, and the two of them were so red that they forgot for a while that they were still in the Shou'an Palace, and the emperor was glaring at these two unreasonable ministers.
"Enough of the noise?" Suddenly, the emperor's majestic voice interrupted the quarrel between the two.
"Your Majesty, Weichen knows that he is wrong." The two replied at the same time, then looked at each other again and hung their heads in silence.
"Your Majesty, are you now only recruiting civil ministers, not military ministers?" Meng Shi was still a little unconvinced, and he had to fight on the battlefield to defend the country.
"For the time being, the border passes will be peaceful, first stabilize the DPRK and China, and then increase the troops."
The foundation of the country, first settle the inside, and then calm the outside, the military force is the necessity of a strong country, but in the end, the outside must first be settled.
The people who want to rebel in the west of the city have been investigated and punished by the emperor, and now the commander of the imperial forest army in the capital is a person trusted by the emperor, so he is not in a hurry.
"Ministry of Rites, you can handle this matter, Meng Shi, the students who are waiting for the exam will arrive in the capital to assist the Ministry of Rites to complete this matter." Jin Lingluo is very good at taking advantage of the difference between civil and military, the Ministry of Rites is responsible for preparing and publicizing this matter, and Meng Shi will check the outsiders in the capital one by one during this period to prevent the Ministry of Rites from worrying about something.
"Go down and prepare, announce that you are here, not to let you compete in this Shou'an Palace, both of you are my right-hand ministers, and don't let me disappoint you."
Since ancient times, there has been discord between civil and military, but it is also a discord, but the heart is uniform for the country and the people, and the emperor just hopes that the two will be more restrained.
"Wechen retired." Meng Shi and Zhou Wensheng said in unison, and Jin Lingluo waved his sleeves to signal the two to retreat.
"Lord Zhou, what are your intentions? Why did Fang Cai have to quarrel with General Ben. Meng Shi questioned Zhou Wensheng on the corridor where he and Zhou Wensheng went all the way out of the palace.
"Why did the official quarrel with you, you mentioned it first, don't you know what the emperor is worried about these days?"
Zhou Wensheng glanced at Meng Shi and opened his mouth in a mysterious way.
"What?" Meng Shi only knew about the military camp, and rarely asked about the affairs in the palace.
"Look, that's the difference between me and you." Zhou Wensheng pretended to make a gesture and turned around to not talk about Meng Shi.
"Lord Zhou, what the hell is going on?"
Meng was as curious as Zhou Wensheng expected.
In fact, Zhou Wensheng dealt with the affairs of the minister and the west of the city, and he didn't know anything about other things in the palace, so he deliberately played tricks in front of Meng Shi, and when he saw that Meng Shi believed it, he was very happy.
On the way out of the palace, Meng Shi kept asking Zhou Wensheng for answers, but Zhou Wensheng closed his eyes and was silent, angry with him.
In Yulin Palace, Princess Qingyu came to Yulin Palace after leaving Shou'an Palace, and talked about the desire that happened in Shou'an Palace to Blue Baby.
"Is that true?" Blue Baby jumped up, she thought it was Mama Zhu's doing, but she didn't expect that it was Concubine Jing who framed her, and the emperor who was killed in the end also fell for witchcraft.
"How could this princess slap you, Concubine Jing should have repented in the end before she committed suicide and died." Qingyu still had a hint of jealousy in her heart when she thought of Fang Cai's scene.
Qingyu is simple and kind-hearted, seeing that the concubines in the palace are so fickle, she still doesn't understand why Concubine Jing acted like this.
"Do you know where Concubine Jing got the puppet from?" Blue Baby asked curiously.
"The palace maid in Concubine Jing's palace said that she went out of the palace and met a Taoist priest to grant the palace maid and brought it into the palace." Qingyu carefully explained the confusion of the blue baby.
When did Concubine Jing come into contact with Taoist priests outside the palace when she was in the palace all year round?
Lan Bao was puzzled, when Concubine Jing wanted to harm the queen and wanted to frame Lan Baobao, the Taoist priest happened to appear and granted Concubine Jing witchcraft, presumably a person in the demon world.
Moreover, this person and this thing indirectly harmed four people, this plan of killing four birds with one stone, it is wonderful.
Although the blue baby did not perceive the aura of the demon world in the palace, I heard that Bai Fengzhi mentioned that there was an enchantment of the demon world outside the queen's palace, and this matter should not be underestimated.
Thinking about it, it has been half a month since he left the palace until this time, and Bai Fengzhi should also return.
"Princess Qingyu, what the emperor said you should go back to the palace." Helian Jinrong walked over at this time, walked to Qingyu's side and reminded softly.
Seeing Helian Jinrong's serious face, different from the past, Qingyu got up and said goodbye to Lan Baobao, glanced at Helian Jinrong and left Yulin Palace.
"What does the emperor want you to convey?" Seeing that Helian Jinrong had no intention of leaving, Lan Baobao knew that Jinrong must have come with Jin Lingluo's message.
"The emperor didn't have an edict, but just ordered me to send this painting, and the emperor said, you will know if you have seen this painting." Saying that, Helian Jinrong ordered the guards behind him to put the box containing the painting scroll in front of the blue baby's dresser.
"Concubine Niangniang, my subordinates have retired." Helian Jinrong bowed his head and exited the blue baby's room.
After Helian Jinrong left, Lan Baobao took out the painting scroll in the sandalwood box and gently rolled it open, and a pair of green foxes lying prone in the forest appeared in front of Lan Baobao's eyes.
The blue eyes seemed to be real, as if the green fox would pace out of the painting at any time, and the blue baby was happy to see it.
"I didn't expect this mortal human emperor, his painting skills are really extraordinary, if you like it, I can turn this green fox into a real thing and accompany you."
Suddenly, Bai Fengzhi turned into a human form and appeared in front of the blue baby.
"Really? Can it really be? "The blue baby is very excited, he is really bored in this palace, if there is a creature by his side, he is funny and funny on weekdays, and he can kill this lonely time.
"Of course, I am a thousand-year-old fox immortal, so this little thing is naturally not a problem." Bai Fengzhi raised his head slightly, squinting his eyes at the blue baby.
Immediately, Bai Fengzhi closed his eyes and meditated in his heart, only to see the green fox in the painting shake his head twice and jumped out.
The little blue fox hovered beside the blue baby, rubbed the blue baby's calf with his little head, squatted down in front of the blue baby, and looked at the blue baby with blazing eyes, as if he had decided that the blue baby was his master.
