Chapter 49: The Man Behind It
Dali Temple's movements were fast, and by the time I received the notice, the lady had already gone to prison, and she didn't give the harem any time to intervene at all.
As for whether the lady is innocent, I don't have any evidence, but I still think I should believe her, after all, for her, the importance of dignity and bottom line has long exceeded Li Yu's grace.
And the current situation is not so optimistic for me, anyway, the glass lamp that suddenly exploded in the prayer hall that day was also rewarded from my hand, and I did move in the lamp, so no matter what the final result is, it must have something to do with me.
But the explosion was certainly not my arrangement, after all, I had only one goal, not the current group of injuries. It's just that I can't figure out who is behind this?
That night, the Rouyi Hall received the holy will from the mouth of the prince, and I was grounded in the Rouyi Hall on suspicion of murdering the prince. In addition to the Rouyi Palace, the Jiaofang Hall and the Butterfly Dance Hall of the Lady did not escape the fate of being grounded, and it seems that the death of the four princes did cause a lot of blows to Li Yu.
Originally, I just wanted to treat others in the way of others, but at the beginning, Concubine Shu Guifei used the nature of cats, causing Zhong Xuan to be frightened and sick, and lost his life. At that time, because of my sister's serious illness and my identity, I couldn't track it down, but now that I have entered this palace, Zhongxuan's matter is in my mind all the time, which also makes the word revenge continue to deepen in my mind. I've been planning everything, if the glass lamp is knocked down by the cat again, and there are rumors in the palace, I naturally have a way to make Concubine Shu believe that the second prince asked for his life, so that I can also take this opportunity to revisit the old things.
Unexpectedly, now there are so many changes, which really caught me off guard. I tried to call Sandalwood to deliver a message to Li Yu a few times, but each time I was stopped before I left the Rouyi Palace, so after a few times, I gave up the idea of seeing Li Yu, and pulled a few of them to accompany me to play chess and plant flowers in the courtyard every day, and the days were as comfortable as returning to the original mansion.
A week later, the lady went out of Dali Temple, and the Jiaofang Hall and the Butterfly Dance Hall were also lifted from the ground, but the Rouyi Hall has not waited for any notice from the grounding to the present. Qiu Xiang and Li Xiaoxiao tried everything they could, but they couldn't hear a trace of information from the guards, and the entire Rouyi Hall was suddenly forgotten by Li Yu.
Today, as usual, I pulled Sandalwood and I played chess and ate melon seeds in the courtyard, but the little barbarian suddenly walked in with a panicked look.
"Concubine Niangniang, it's not good......"
"What's so panicked, how many times have you said it, when the sky falls, we have to stand up for Niangniang first, you are so panicked that it seems that you want to step on the sky first." Seeing the little man's panicked appearance, Li Xiaoxiao couldn't help but speak, and Sandalwood and Qiu Xiang on the side also nodded in agreement.
Such a scene made me suddenly feel that maybe God felt that he owed me too much in his previous life, so he sent me such a few lovely people to guard me in this life.
"Yes." The little barbarian also realized his gaffe, and quickly adjusted his emotions and responded.
"Alright, alright, we're in a bad enough situation, what worse can you talk about." After giving Sandalwood a look, I turned to the little barbarian and asked.
"It's Concubine Shu's side, there are rumors in the palace that Concubine Shu is crazy."
"Where did you hear this, Xiaoxiao and I tried everything we could to find out something from outside." Qiu Xiang looked at the little barbarian with a suspicious expression and said.
"That's naturally different, after all, I used to serve in front of the emperor, and I naturally have more doorways in the palace than you."
"Is the news true?" Not only Akika, but even I was a little skeptical of this news.
"The slave dares to use his head to assure the mother that this news is true."
"Do you know why?" With Concubine Shu's personality, she will never lose her mind because of the death of the fourth prince, so I'm sure there must be other factors behind this.
"This slave doesn't know, the emperor has blocked the news of the Jiaofang Palace, and there are not many people in the palace who know that Concubine Shu is suffering from madness."
"Since this is the case, let's not talk about it for the time being, after all, the matter of Concubine Shugui's madness can be big or small, so it's better to continue to live your own life, so as not to fall into other people's tongues."
"Yes."
After such a fuss, I don't have the heart to play chess, and I don't know what the situation is on the Queen Mother's side now, if it was before, the Queen Mother should have intervened. Li Yu too, I haven't seen him since the incident in the Buddhist hall that day, does he really think that I did it?
That's it, I sighed softly, whether it was in my past life or in this life, after all, I really made a mistake.
The next day, under Li Yusheng's decree, I, as the sole person in charge, was deprived of the title of concubine and banned for three months before I could even say a word to defend myself.
I couldn't figure out why things were going so far off the course of my life, and who was interfering with them.
Although I was young and ignorant in my previous life, I have always been in a high position in the palace because of Li Yu's favor, and now everything seems to have changed, I can't see my sister clearly, I can't see the queen mother clearly, I can't see Li Yu clearly, and I can't see the next fate clearly......
For two whole weeks, there were no other items sent to the Rouyi Hall except food, and all our contact with the outside world was completely cut off by Li Yu, and even the little barbarian could not find out a trace of news from the doorman. Fortunately, they never left, and they still think of ways to make me happy every day, kite today, sing tomorrow...... Li Xiaoxiao and the little barbarian even set up a swing for me in the courtyard, and accompanied me every day to play all kinds of crazy games in the courtyard, completely ignoring the identity of master and servant, sometimes I would rise up to dance a sword for them, and no one would come in anyway. After such a long time, I have a feeling of being quiet and good.
However, I have never been a person who easily accepts other people's arrangements, no matter how quiet the years are, I still can't live with peace of mind, since Li Yu wants to trap me in the cage of the Rouyi Palace, then I will destroy this cage.
"No, it's too risky, and we can't agree with you."
"Yes, we don't agree."
When I made my intentions out, I was unsurprisingly opposed by all of them.
"I'm not talking to you, I've decided. Let's all go our separate ways. With that, I turned my head away.
"Niangniang......" Qiu Xiang originally wanted to continue to persuade, but seeing my reaction like this, coupled with Sandalwood's eyes, she also stopped talking, after all, Sandalwood understands me.
That night, a fire broke out in the Rouyi Palace, spreading from the Roufei Concubine's dormitory until the entire palace was reduced to ashes.
