Chapter 69: Dog eats dog
In the huge courtyard, Tianyi was in a long cold sweat, his hands were trembling on the ground, and he was intermittent for a long time, but he didn't say anything.
Now that the matter has come to this, what is there that everyone does not understand?
The Queen Mother was furious, stepped forward and kicked him to the ground: "Okay, you charlatan, you dare to cheat in the palace?" Tell me who told you to do that! ”
Tianyi raised his eyes and glanced at Concubine Hua in fear, and Concubine Hua immediately looked tight!
I saw her glaring at Tianyi quickly, with a strong warning in her eyes.
Suddenly, this day a long man lowered his head, and said in a trembling voice: "Yes...... It's Concubine Ning's mother......"
Concubine Ning is obviously the biggest victim, but she has become the perpetrator at this moment?!
This reversal was too amazing, and for a while, many people looked at Concubine Ning in shock and did not come back to their senses.
Concubine Hua breathed a sigh of relief, and a drop of cold sweat slipped down her cheeks.
Concubine Ning's eyes narrowed, her right hand held the champa tightly, and she stared straight at Tianyi and said, "Dao Chief, people in this world are watching the sky, and lying will be punished!" ”
Then, she quickly looked up at Concubine Hua, and there was a sharp light in her eyes.
This kind of her is completely different from the seriously ill and dying appearance just now, especially the temperament has changed a lot.
Lu Xiang's eyelids jumped, and he subconsciously looked at Shang Kelan.
saw Shang Kelan standing aside and looking at them with a good time, and a smile appeared on her lips, as if she was looking at them...... Dog-eat-dog like!
The scorching sun was like fire scorching Tianyi's long heart, and he couldn't care much at the moment, so he only lowered his head and insisted: "Poor Dao didn't dare to expire the Empress Dowager, it was indeed Concubine Ning who instructed Poor Dao to pretend to be a Taoist priest in Nanshan and come in to exorcise evil spirits for the harem maidens, and also let Poor Dao blame Concubine Chen, okay...... So that Concubine Chen will fall out of favor......"
"What a daring!"
Immediately, the Queen Mother yelled, and couldn't suppress her anger and looked at Concubine Ning: "Concubine Ning, what else do you have to say now?" This good play you directed and acted in is really wonderful, treating the mourning family and the queen as fools, playing in the palm of your hand?! ”
Concubine Ning's face sank, and her eyes when she looked at Shang Kelan were so gloomy that they could drip water!
Unexpectedly, Concubine Hua was really as she expected, not as stupid as she appeared, and she didn't know what means she used to keep her mouth shut on this day, and put all the responsibility on her head!
What a good calculation......
I saw Concubine Ning slowly arouse a sneer, wiped the sweat on her forehead with a handkerchief, and said unhurriedly: "Queen Mother, this person is a charlatan, and the concubine has fallen into a coma in the past few days, how can she bring this person into the harem?" ”
"Unless the concubine has any other accomplices, no matter how you look at it, the person who recruited this Taoist priest is more suspected of murdering Concubine Chen, right? Besides, it is an indisputable fact that the concubine has a miscarriage and is seriously ill, there is no need to risk her own child in order to harm Concubine Chen, otherwise wouldn't the concubine be too stupid? ”
After hearing this, the queen immediately frowned and looked at Concubine Hua: "If the concubine is not mistaken, it was after Concubine Hua said that after the evil caused by the foreign family of Hongyuan in Yangzhou, a series of strange things happened one after another, and then invited this liar to enter the palace to exorcise evil spirits." ”
Concubine Hua gritted her teeth, glared at the queen and said, "Queen Mother, what do you mean?" The concubine just mentioned the matter of Hongyuan's foreign family in passing that day, can this also be used as evidence that the concubine instructed this Taoist priest to come in and deceive people? ”
The queen looked at her suspiciously, and said, "Sister Hua, didn't you recruit this Taoist priest?" ”
Concubine Hua was blocked by her, and she was speechless.
The situation is at an impasse, who is behind the scenes between Concubine Hua and Concubine Ning?
Just when everyone was suspicious in their hearts, Shang Kelan wrapped the witch doll with a champa, came to Jin Yantang and the Queen Mother, and explained softly: "There is another point, the concubine didn't have time to explain, the birthday on this doll is indeed not Concubine Ning's. ”
"The concubine is a few years younger than Concubine Ning, and Concubine Ning was born in May, but the month on this birthday is August."
Concubine Ning was born in May, and the Queen Mother, the Empress, and Her Majesty all knew about it.
Everyone followed Shang Kelan's words and looked at it, but saw that the month written on the eight characters of this birthday was really not May!
As soon as these words came out, Concubine Hua and Concubine Ning, who were competing with each other, couldn't help but show a stunned look.
Especially Concubine Ning, she immediately turned her head to look at Lu Xiang, with a look of anger in her eyes: Why wasn't it hers written on the eight characters of that birthday?!
The development of things is becoming more and more out of the control of Concubine Ning and Concubine Hua.
Things gradually came to light, the Queen Mother gradually sank the anger on her face, Jin Yantang's expression also became condensed, the atmosphere was very solemn, and no one dared to say a word more.
I saw that the Queen Mother ordered Mama Chen to check the birth date on the witch doll, and then took the jade pendant in the box and asked Shang Kelan: "Concubine Chen, if this matter has nothing to do with you, then how can your jade pendant appear in the box?" ”
Shang Kelan's willow eyebrows frowned slightly, and said, "Maybe the person who used witchcraft to murder his concubine did it deliberately, trying to use the jade pendant to guide the contradiction to the concubine?" However, this jade concubine reported the loss to the Internal Affairs Office a few days ago, the Queen Mother, you can call the head of the Internal Affairs Office to testify to the concubine. ”
When the Queen Mother heard this, her eyes narrowed slightly, and after staring at Shang Kelan for a long time, she suddenly put the jade pendant into her hand, and said in a deep voice: "Such an adult can't even manage a jade pendant, how to do the imperial concubine?" ”
Although the tone was to blame her for being stupid, there was no doubt that the Queen Mother trusted her, which made Shang Kelan breathe a sigh of relief.
Everyone in the Qin Yan Hall didn't want to stay any longer, and it was a mess here by Tianyi Chang.
So, Shang Kelan let everyone go to Xianya Palace to escape the summer, and prepared some delicious pastries for everyone to satisfy their hunger.
The Queen Mother and Jin Yantang sat on the main seat, Concubine Ning and Concubine Hua sat opposite each other, and the Queen sat beside the Queen Mother.
The chief of the heavens was punished to kneel in the main hall.
Mama Chen was very efficient, and she brought the news back after a short time.
Shang Kelan asked her to serve her a cup of herbal tea, and after she had cooled off, she heard Mama Chen say respectfully to the Queen Mother: "Empress Dowager Qi, the birthday characters engraved on this doll are Qinglan Xuan Roujieyu!" ”
Rou Jieyu? The concubine who has always been frail and sickly and has never been blessed by His Majesty?
For a while, such a string of information appeared in everyone's minds, but it was a pity that Rou Jieyu had not appeared in front of everyone for too long, so that everyone couldn't remember her appearance.
The Queen Mother sneered, suppressed her anger word by word, and questioned Concubine Ning: "So far, Concubine Ning, what else do you have to say?!" ”
"The Queen Mother Mingjian, the concubines will never dare to use witchcraft to harm others and themselves!"
Concubine Ning knelt in the hall without hesitation, defending herself sonorously.
But at this time, Shang Kelan's fluttering voice fell from her head: "Sister doesn't know yet, right?" That doll...... But I found it in your Lanyue Palace! ”
