Chapter 217: Memories of Sisters of the Past
The palace of the Lotus Kingdom, the palace of the queen's mother. At night.
Nalan Qiqing sat in front of the dressing table in the dormitory, staring at herself in the mirror, tears streaming down her face.
Because she seemed to see a gentle woman behind her in the mirror, who was combing her hair attentively, and her expression was very focused, as if she was combing her own sister.
In Nalan Qiqing's memory, Concubine Jing liked to comb her hair the most when she was alive, and the two of them knew each other when they first entered the palace.
Because of their background, family background, temperament, and preferences are very similar, they became good sisters who talked about everything not long after entering the palace.
And when Concubine Jing learned that when Nalan Qiqing was a child, every time she was in a bad mood, it was her mother who combed her hair for her to get better, so she volunteered that when she was in a bad mood in the future, she would notify her and she would comb her hair for her.
In this way, over time, Nalan Qiqing has become accustomed to the happy time of Concubine Jing combing her hair while chatting.
Later, even if no one combs her hair, as long as she is in a bad mood, when facing the mirror, Nalan Qiqing will inadvertently think of Concubine Jing Niangniang, thinking about it, as if Concubine Jing Niangniang is combing her hair behind herself in the mirror.
So, she just sat quietly and thought about Concubine Jing, and after a while, her mood was better again.
In addition to talking about everything, as if they were sisters, they also experienced many hardships and hardships together, life and death palace fights, and the opponent who wanted to kill them repeatedly was Nangong Lan, the sister of Prime Minister Nangong Mo, who was later Lan Guifei.
It's a pity that no matter how Lan Guifei tried her best to exclude, frame, and assassinate Nalan Qiqing, with the secret help of Concubine Jing, she was resolved by Nalan Qiqing one by one, and in the end, the throne of the queen was still obtained by Nalan Qiqing in the world.
In fact, Jun Wuregret had already mastered the evidence that Lan Guifei had killed Nalan Qiqing and other concubines, if it weren't for the fact that Prime Minister Nangong Mo had gathered more than half of the ministers in the court, Jun Wuregret would have sent Lan Guifei into the cold palace a long time ago.
It's just that Jun Wuregret didn't have time to gradually weaken Nangong Mo's henchmen, and really let the ruthless Lan Guifei get the retribution he deserved, a palace change broke out in the palace, he himself disappeared, and the throne was also taken away by a person named Li Zheng.
Fortunately, under the guidance of the divine operator Hexagram Liansheng, Nalan Qiqing escaped from the palace with fake death and took refuge in Yanjia Village.
also gave birth to the Lotus Born Heavenly Son Jun through Heavenly Pregnancy there, and then fled to the ruins, but the days have not settled down, and a frozen period that lasted for fifteen years broke out, and when Nalan Qiqing woke up, he had returned to the palace.
Only then did he learn that all this was planned by the Holy Emperor without regrets, and he endured it silently for a year, successfully freezing the entire Liansheng Kingdom, and also used the freezing period to kill Li Zheng to regain the throne, and took the opportunity to destroy the hostile country Black-tailed Leafhopper Country.
He also rebuilt the entire Liansheng Kingdom and rebuilt the new palace, which brought Nalan Qiqing and Jun Buyu back to the palace and started a new life.
The other concubines and princesses who were exiled by Li Zheng one after another were all picked up one by one, which naturally included Nalan Qiqing's best sister, Concubine Jing.
When Nalan Qiqing woke up and saw Concubine Jing again, the two sisters hugged their heads and cried for a long time, and talked about their hearts all night.
After listening to each other's experiences, I was also full of emotion, and I felt that it was really not easy to be alive and together.
After learning that Concubine Lan, who had always persecuted them, was dead, she was finally relieved, and she was glad that they had come to the bitter end.
I thought that their good days would last forever, until Bai Tou, but I didn't expect that this night, Concubine Jing Niangniang actually died, not only her, but also all the palace maids and royal guards up and down her entire palace, none of them were spared.
Especially the death is extremely miserable, which is enough to see that the other party is ruthless!
When Nalan Qiqing learned of this bad news, she rushed to Concubine Jing's palace like crazy, but she couldn't accept such a bloody scene and the death of her best sister, and fainted.
Jun Wuregret personally carried the fainted Nalan Qiqing back to the dormitory, and after that, he guarded her all night until she woke up and left.
Before leaving, he told Nalan Qiqing that this case was not trivial, so the scene did not move, and before the case was solved, Concubine Jing and all the victims would not be buried for the time being, so as not to destroy the clues, and it would be impossible to find out the truth and avenge Concubine Jing.
After Jun left without regrets, Nalan Qiqing cried alone for a long time, and couldn't figure out who hated her so much in this palace? can use such heinous means to take revenge on Concubine Jing.
It stands to reason that the person who is most likely to do this kind of dehumanizing killing is only Concubine Lan Guifei, and she is the only one who will hate Concubine Jing because she helped Nalan Qiqing take away her position as queen in the first place.
But the problem is that Concubine Lan was chopped off and soaked in the lotus pond shortly after Li Zheng seized the throne fifteen years ago, and by now, she should have died a long time ago.
How could he still have the ability to kill everyone in Concubine Jing's palace overnight?
As for the other concubines, although they have a general relationship with Concubine Jing, they don't have the idea of putting her to death.
So Nalan Qiqing stared at herself in the mirror at the moment, puzzled, as if she didn't know what else she could do for the best sisters in the past besides tears.
"Sister Jingfei, I don't know where you are now! How are you doing? Cold or not? Do you know, my sister really misses you so much! I didn't expect that yesterday afternoon's farewell would become a farewell, I knew that this would be the case, my sister would not be separated from you, my sister should have left you with me, and you won't be like now......" Nalan Qiqing thought of the sadness, and couldn't help but choke up in the mirror and said.
"Niangniang, Die'er boiled lotus seed porridge for you, can you drink a little more? You haven't gotten a drop of water since last night, and your body can't bear it if you go on like this. If Concubine Jing had a spirit in the sky, she wouldn't want to see you so sad. For the sake of Concubine Jing, you should take care of the phoenix body so that Concubine Jing can feel at ease. ”
Just when Nalan Qiqing stared at the mirror and fell into grief and choked up to blame herself, her personal palace maid Yu Die behind her, holding a bowl of porridge, persuaded her extremely unbearably.
This rain butterfly is the rain butterfly who accompanied Nalan Qiqing to fake her death together, escaped from the palace, and went to Yanjia Village.
In order to disguise their identities as the queen's mother and the personal palace maid, Nalan Qiqing assumed the name Lan Qi, and named Yudie Qingyu Butterfly, and appeared in Yanjia Village as her daughter.
After getting along for that time, Nalan Qiqing also completely regarded Yudie as her own daughter.
Originally, after returning to the palace, she planned to let Jun Wu regret making her a princess and officially become her righteous daughter, but Yudie politely declined Nalan Qiqing's kindness on the grounds that she was not suitable to be a princess, did not like restraint, and still liked to take care of Nalan Qiqing.
At Yudie's insistence, Nalan Qiqing had no choice but to put aside this idea for the time being, and wait for the appropriate opportunity in the future.
"Die'er, you're right, this palace should cheer up, before I find out the murderer of Concubine Jing, how can I just sit here and cry! Something should be done for her to be worthy of my friendship with her sisters. By the way, didn't you meet Meng Yan and go to check the scene during the day today? Are there any progress or clues? ”
Nalan Qiqing listened to Yudie's words, and suddenly came to her senses, and said in a tone that was no longer so decadent.
"Back to Niangniang, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Lord Meng went to check the scene during the day today, and they came out after about two hours. Since they didn't bring the guards and palace maids in to check, they didn't know if they had found any clues for the time being. However, the subordinates also sent people to the palace of His Royal Highness the Prince and the palace of the female official Fengyi to inquire, it seems that after returning to the palace, they have not come out of the dormitory, and they do not let anyone disturb them, so they must also feel very tricky, right? Yudie said respectfully.
"Oh? Stuck in the dormitory all afternoon? I don't know him for a man who rarely stays in the dormitory during the day, and with what I know about him, if he hadn't encountered something very upsetting, he wouldn't have locked himself in the dormitory. It seems that he is really helpless! Hey, it's a pity I can't help him with anything. By the way, Meng Yan is not the first place in this palace maid assessment, or the disciple of the grandmother in charge, doesn't she have any action? ”
Nalan Qiqing frowned and analyzed.
"Hui Niangniang, this Fengyi female official Lord Meng, although she did not come out of the dormitory, but she sent all the palace maids and guards of the Fengyi female official palace to inquire about all the things about Concubine Jing Niangniang in each palace. When I came to our Fengming Palace, I had already told Meng Ling, the sister of Lord Meng, everything I knew about Concubine Jing, and she had also recorded it. I hope it can help them solve the case. ”
Yudie slowly recalled.
"Oh! That's good! This incident happened suddenly, and there was no one to live, and His Majesty only gave three days, so they should be under a lot of pressure. However, fortunately, His Majesty did not send someone to dispose of the corpse at the scene, and blocked the scene in time, so it should not have been destroyed, I hope they can find useful clues from it as soon as possible, solve the case on time, and let Concubine Jing be buried as soon as possible. Once the real culprit is identified, the palace will definitely ask His Majesty to give a severe punishment, and will not tolerate adultery, so that similar tragedies will not happen in the harem again. ”
Nalan Qiqing said with a sigh of relief, and when she said the back, her face was resolute.
"By the way, Niangniang, if it weren't for the Fengyi female official Lord Meng this time to send someone to ask the guards and palace maids of Concubine Jing's palace, Die'er really didn't know, there was actually a very strange thing in Concubine Jing's palace, that is, every day at midnight to ugly, everyone in the palace would be sleepy, and even the patrolling guards would fall asleep while standing, don't you think it's strange?"
After listening to Nalan Qiqing's words, Yudie suddenly remembered something and said to Nalan Qiqing with a curious expression.
"What? Falling asleep at midnight to ugly? Could it be that what Sister Jing said is true! After hearing Yu Die's words, Nalan Qiqing turned to look at Yu Die in shock and said.
