Chapter 593: Dare to Die
"That's all the confession." Mao Guoer respectfully presented all the confessions.
Empress Dowager Shen frowned and looked at them one by one, and said in a rambling voice: "Tell me." ”
"In addition to the collusion between Concubine Chen and Qin Er, there is also Sun Dexian of the Imperial Medical Department, who is also in their group. Originally, the correspondence between the two sides was very normal, but later the villain asked from Yu Juan's mouth, although Sun Dexian was ordered by the emperor, he had extremely close contacts with her family, and seemed to be very eager to get Yu Juan into the palace. ”
Mao Guo'er bowed her head and reported, "Later, the villain went to deceive Concubine Chen and Qin Er again, and sure enough, I found that their relationship with Sun Dexian was not ordinary. Now the villain has ordered someone to spy on Sun Dexian, just to see if he has any other accomplices. If so, he will be in contact with each other in the near future.
"As for the other eyeliners in the palace, they are all inconspicuous little people everywhere, but when strung together, they can almost gather the news of the entire Daming Palace.
Among them, the ones they have never been able to reach in are the Pear Blossom Palace, the Xuanzheng Hall and the Qingning Palace. According to the villain's point of view, on the one hand, in the respective halls of the masters, there are stewards in charge of the palace; On the other hand, I'm afraid it's also because they don't want to startle the snake.
"Actually, Ma Baiping, who has been in charge for a few months in Xiao Penglai, is a person that Concubine Chen worked hard to get. It's just that Xiao Penglai is the person who was ordered by the Queen Mother after all, and the surnamed Ma doesn't dare to let go of his hands and feet.
"Later, it was replaced by Manager Jia, and Concubine Chen successfully sent the shaking branch in, bewitching the eldest princess with many things that she shouldn't think."
Speaking of this, Mao Guo'er stopped smartly, took out three other pieces of paper from his sleeve, and presented them to the Empress Dowager Shen with both hands: "As soon as this villain heard this, he kicked others out, except for the shaking branch, no one has seen or heard it." ”
Empress Dowager Shen looked blank, took it, read it at a glance, stretched out her hand to cover her eyes, and muttered: "Presumably, this rumor about Lizhu was also made by her in Beidi." ”
Mao Guoer was silent.
He deliberately chose a person to come to see Empress Dowager Shen when Shen was not in the Pear Blossom Palace, just because he also had this suspicion.
"It's just, if she's messing around, why didn't Jia Liu do it?" Empress Dowager Shen muttered to herself, put down her hand, and frowned.
Mao Guo'er hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice: "Chief Manager Jia, it seems that he wants to receive orders from the county lord?" ”
"Huh?" Empress Dowager Shen raised her eyebrows and looked at him.
Mao Guo'er lowered her head and said respectfully: "The villain is thinking, Lord Shen has always been considerate of the Queen Mother. The eldest princess is the queen mother's own flesh and blood, if there is no queen mother to speak in person, Lord Shen is afraid that he will hesitate to deal with this kind of thing, right? ”
After all, it's a dedicated body......
Empress Dowager Shen went down silently, and after a while, she slowly bowed her head: "If you can find a suitable person, go to Beidi, and inform Jia Liu, it would be good." ”
"Yes, villain." Mao Guoer bowed her head neatly and withdrew.
Empress Dowager Shen looked at his back, her eyes narrowing slightly.
This kid is too clever and too easy to use.
Emperor Yongxi abandoned Qin Er and took him, and there was no surprise.
It's just that such a smart and capable child makes people feel unsteady for no reason.
Empress Dowager Shen pondered alone for a long time, until she heard the voice of the slave outside, and then she raised her head and ordered:
"Go and tell Mao Guo'er to let him rest today. Early tomorrow morning, pick a few suitable things, go out of the palace for Lizhu to go to the funeral of Qian Da Province, and persuade Zhong Lang to take care of yourself and not be too sad. Lizhu is counting on him to be her backer. ”
Mao Guo'er, who got the order, looked at the other party in surprise: "Won't the county lord go there himself?" ”
"Zhong Lang didn't send news to the palace." Xiao Nei paused for a moment, and then said, "It's probably because of the turmoil of state affairs." Qian Da Province's funeral, Zhong Lang was very low-key, and no one told him. I heard that King Lotus and King Xi also took the initiative to come to the door by themselves. ”
"Have you heard of a few days of suspension? Where are you going to be buried? Mao Guoer subconsciously reached out and touched the sackcloth filial piety belt around her waist, which was worn by Emperor Yongxi and Empress Pan, but now it seems to be foreseeable.
The little chamberlain bowed his head and said, "It will only stop for seven days, and then it will be immediately sent back to the ancestral home of the state." I heard that Zhong Lang was worried that the pregnant lady of the Qian family would be sad, so he sent three batches of the closest confidants in Qian Province back to comfort him. Sending Ling back to his hometown so quickly was probably because he was afraid that the eldest lady would enter Beijing in person. ”
Mao Guo'er was silent for a while, sighed, and nodded, "I know." I will definitely pick a few things worthy of the status of the county lord. ”
That's exactly what happened. Aunt Shi also deliberately chased out and instructed the little one, it seems that Mr. Mao understands the thoughts of the masters. The little chamberlain slapped his ass lightly, and then respectfully retired.
When he was about to sleep, Ah Di came to look for Mao Guo'er in person and said to him: "When I went out, Zhong Lang seemed to be very trying to avoid me. I told the county lord, and the county lord pondered for two days before deciding not to go to the mourning hall.
"The county lord asked me to tell you, this matter must be very complicated. If you can't ask, don't force it. When everyone loses a loved one, they are all sad and excited, and it is difficult to guarantee that they will do something that they will regret in the future.
"After this level, Great Xia will be stable. When the time comes, no matter who wants to talk about anything, the county lord will guarantee that everyone will have a chance to speak. ”
Mao Guo'er laughed: "Give everyone a chance to speak? Who does she think she is!? Does she have the final say? ”
"How do you talk?" Ah Di was suddenly unhappy and turned his face, "It's true that our county lord was originally an outsider, but is it the same now?" For the sake of the reputation of our county lord, the queen mother is going to let the Yu sisters live. What kind of honor is this, you don't understand, do you?
"And the last time, it was our county lord who took His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to the Pan family, and he could directly make the decision to give the Pan family any grace, and kept the Pan family without asking for resignation and returning to his ancestral hometown. What kind of weight does this have, do you understand? ”
Ah Di glared at Mao Guo'er angrily: "If you don't allow yourself to die, you have to seduce Zhong Lang." Originally, the county lord even promised her free body, and she had already asked for grace in front of the queen mother. You think about it yourself, it's just talking and reasoning, why can't our county lord say it?! ”
At the mention of Weirong, Mao Guo'er was silent, and after a while, she nodded: "I know." You tell the county lord: After all, it is the funeral hall of the head of the family, and I am embarrassed by Zhong Lang, which is to make his old man restless, I will not do this kind of thing.
"As for being reasonable. I took the favor of the county lord, but forget it.
"Even if she dares to do it, I don't dare to do it.
"Actually, I'm afraid of death."
