Chapter 229: Rumors

Song Xinyi took out the money from her grandmother's dowry and handed it to Peony.

"...... It's ......"

Song Xinyi hooked her fingers, motioned for Peony to come over, and whispered a few words in his ear.

Peony's mouth suddenly opened wide. Song Xinyi reached out and closed her mouth, urging, "Go quickly." ”

People come and go on the street, all kinds of vendors keep selling, peony like a child, look around, holding a lot of gadgets in his arms, bouncing, like a cheerful bird.

The next day, inside an inn.

Xiao Er saw a young girl come in, hurriedly went over, and said, "Miss, what do you want to eat, stay in the hotel or sharpen it?"

Nodding flatteringly to the young woman in gorgeous clothes, she bowed her head and said authentically.

Peony smiled slightly, and then took out a gold ingot, "Xiao Er, I like to be clean, a private room, and a pot of Biluochun are good." ”

Xiao Er hurriedly arranged, "Miss, Qinglan Pavilion is the cleanest in our shop, Miss, please." ”

"I'm sorry for you, you go out, someone will come later, just bring it here," Peony took out another ingot of gold and rewarded it to Xiao Er.

"Okay, good lady, you use it slowly." When Xiao Er saw the gold, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly retreated.

Peony drank tea elegantly in the private room, and after a while, some people came, and Xiao Er took them to Qinglan Pavilion as instructed.

"Miss" The people clasped their fists.

"Hurry up." Peony lifted them up one by one.

"Miss, what do you need us to do today?" These people are outlaws, and of course they don't care what the task is.

Peony took out a hundred taels of silver, "I want you to spread rumors." ”

Where did those people talk about so much silver, and suppressed their excitement, "Miss, what do you say, what do you want to spread whose rumors?"

"Rumors about Xuanyuan Qing and Concubine Ning."

"Miss...... That's not good. These people looked embarrassed, their eyes rolled, this is the emperor, spreading rumors about him, are you too long to live?

"It's okay, you just said that Xuanyuan Qing beat Concubine Ning and abused Concubine Ning, and Concubine Ning almost died several times."

"Miss...... This...... This is the emperor...... How dare the grass people. "Those people trembled.

Peony took out another hundred taels of silver and looked at them quietly. "These are deposits, and after the matter is completed, the silver will be given to you."

The men looked at each other, nodded their heads, and after a while said, "Miss, you see, we won't let Miss down." ”

"Don't be happy too early, it's done, all this silver is yours, if you can't do it, Miss Ben will also reward you with 10,000 taels of silver, this 10,000 taels is not a lot, if you hit your head......"

Those people were so frightened that their faces turned white, and they broke out in a cold sweat, "Miss...... We'll do it well. ”

Peony smiled slightly, "Okay, you guys go down." ”

After Peony finished drinking the tea, she walked back to the palace and went to Song Xinyi to return to her life.

A few days later, the news in the capital was boiling, and the minister hurriedly told Xuanyuan Qing.

Xuanyuan came to the Buddha hall angrily, and suddenly slapped on the mahogany table, and the mahogany table was shocked.

"Song Xinyi, you come out for me."

"Say hello to the emperor." Song Xinyi was slightly blessed.

"Why does the emperor have time to come here today, and why is the emperor's face so ugly? Who made the emperor angry?"

"Song Xinyi, I ask you, when did I abuse you?" Xuanyuan Qing walked over and pinched Song Xinyi's chin.

Song Xinyi looked at the emperor with tears in her eyes, "Where did the emperor hear the bastard words, the emperor is naturally very good to his concubines, how can he do abusive things." ”17

Xuanyuan Qing let go of Song Xinyi and said coldly: "I hope, this is the last time!" With that, Xuanyuan flicked his sleeves and left angrily.

Song Xinyi smiled slightly, those few people are really powerful, now everyone knows about it, so ......

The next day, inside the palace.

"Hey, Xiaoqing, have you heard? Concubine Ning, she is so pitiful. ”

"I've heard it, I've heard it, this is called self-inflicted sin and can't live, who let him make mistakes and fall out of favor."

Just when the palace ladies were gossiping. An old woman walked over.

"You dare to chew the root of your tongue for this kind of thing, you don't want that thing around your neck."

The palace maids were suddenly frightened, and hurriedly knelt down, not daring to say anything more.

The old lady shook her head and sighed, "What is this Concubine Ning doing again?" ”

At the same time, the Imperial Study.

"Song Xinyi, this bastard thing, actually spread all the rumors to the palace, it seems that my punishment is still too light, Song Xinyi, I want to kill you!"

Xuanyuan Qing, who saw that public opinion was getting more and more intense, could no longer contain his anger, and was about to rush out and gather the guards.

"The emperor is angry." The ministers hurriedly dissuaded, "Your Majesty, now that this matter has been spread in the palace, if you kill Concubine Ning now, wouldn't it mean that this rumor is true, and this will damage the emperor's prestige." ”

Being reminded like this, Xuanyuan Qing also calmed down. He asked in a deep voice, "Then you say, how should this matter be handled?" ”

A minister stood up and said unhurriedly, "The minister thinks that the Buddha Hall is bitter, it is better to take Niangniang back, and the clumsy rumors will be self-defeating, and at that time, the rumors will be broken, and the emperor can deal with Concubine Ning as much as he wants." ”

"Miao" Xuanyuan Qing slapped his face, "Come on, take Concubine Ning out of the Buddha Hall, go back to the cold palace, and send a few more people to serve." ”

"Wait a minute." Xuanyuan Qing's eyes rolled, "Let Concubine Ning kneel in front of the Buddha statue for a day and a night, pray for the emperor, and then return to the cold palace after kneeling." ”

In the Buddha hall, Song Xinyi'an sat on a chair, her face calm, looking at the figure in front of her.

"Mother, why aren't you worried." Peony's voice was full of anxiety, "You're afraid of the Holy ...... like this."

Song Xinyi waved her hand and motioned for Peony to sit down, before slowly spit out three words: "He doesn't dare!" ”

Peony was so frightened that she almost jumped out of her chair.

"Miss, what are you talking about, Your Majesty, he is the lord of a country, what is there to dare not."

Peony's words were not finished. was stopped by Song Xinyi, Song Xinyi herself just smiled and stopped talking.

Song Xinyi is right. The emperor really didn't dare to touch him.

As he spoke, a eunuch came to deliver the message.

"The holy decree has arrived, and Concubine Ning has received the decree-"

Looking at the eunuch who came in, Peony was stunned, didn't she come to execute Niangniang, she persuaded her many times, but Niangniang just didn't listen, what should I do.

"Mother, this ......"

Song Xinyi pushed the peony slightly, and the peony came back to her senses and took the order with Song Xinyi.

"Concubine Ning invited herself into the Buddha hall to cultivate, I was very moved, and I hoped that Concubine Ning would kneel in front of the Buddha statue for a day and pray for me. After kneeling, take it back to the palace. ”

Song Xinyi's face immediately darkened when she heard this, Xuanyuan Qing, you wait, good days are ahead, she knelt in front of the Buddha statue for a day, and was taken to the cold palace.

Song Xinyi felt that the cold palace was very kind, thinking of Xuanyuan Qing, Xuanyuan Qing, you waited for me.

Then Peony came in, "Miss, you are really ice and snow smart. ”

Song Xinyi couldn't laugh or cry, reached out and knocked on Peony's head, and said angrily: "Did you talk like that?" ”

Peony stuck out her tongue, and when no one was in private, the two often fought like this, and there was nothing unruly.
