Chapter 205: Suicide
As long as the court still needs her brother-in-law and father-in-law, then she can't move her even if she thinks that the queen mother has a heart, so it makes sense.
In Cining Palace, Mama Liu was waiting for the Queen Mother to drink tea, and there were no palace maids around, Mama Liu asked puzzledly: "Niangniang, this opportunity can be a good way to bring down Nalan Lan'er, why did you give those two minions to ......?"
The queen mother raised her eyes and glanced outside, then lowered her head and continued to blow the tea leaves in the cup and said: "You see that it is a good opportunity, in fact, there are still loopholes, there are other people in the palace at that time, so she went to the cold palace and then poisoned the first imperial concubine in a bit of a hurry, you also know that the emperor dotes on her, she is also a smart person, and in that case, she can calmly attract the emperor's attention and let the emperor listen to her explanation." ”
Mama Liu hammered her shoulders and still had doubts: "Niangniang, Ren Nalan Lan'er explained in every possible way, she couldn't erase the fact that she went to the cold palace that night, plus Xia He's testimony, the emperor will definitely be disheartened by her." ”
The queen mother put down the teacup, sighed, and said helplessly: "The son of the mourning family knows his temperament, Nalan Yuxin has been in and out of the cold palace many times and still has not fallen out of favor, her status in the emperor's heart can be imagined, I originally wanted Nalan Yuxin to enter the prison cell through this matter, so that the remaining sins of the Nalan family will appear and show their feet." ”
Mama Liu suddenly woke up and said: "Niangniang is considering the identity of Nalan Lan'er as the minister of military aircraft and thinking that after the righteous daughter, the minister's wife has nothing to do with her knees, and she attaches great importance to Nalan Guifei, so she has doubts?" ”
Speaking of this, the Queen Mother had a headache, it was indeed due to this factor, and she didn't expect Nalan Lan'er to have these identities at that time. You really can't kill her at will, whether it's to draw out the remnants of the Nalan family or to target the situation in the previous dynasty.
"In addition to this, she also has a righteous brother, General Yang Fei, without this general, the safety of the country is unstable, listen to the servants around the emperor, the Xiongnu are ready to move recently, and Yang Fei is rarely needed at this time."
Mama Liu finally sorted out everything clearly, and continued to wait for the queen mother with her heart, these factors and so on, the queen of heaven takes care of the overall situation, and is bound to get rid of Nalan Guifei impulsively, and Nalan Guifei is always ready to bring down the queen mother, in this way, who will kill the deer?
After the queen mother finished speaking, she was also angry in her heart, and said with a cruel smile: "Although the mourning family can't move her temporarily, it doesn't mean that the other concubines can't move, and if she can't die, it just lets her have a peaceful life." ”
Mama Liu should be reconciled and passed.
The harem is about to enter the beauties, and at that time, it was decided by the emperor to turn over the brand, and Huayan Palace could not be favored. Thinking that the queen mother was glad that Nalan Lan'er's stomach was obedient, otherwise she would be extremely unhappy if she had a child at this time.
And after Nalan Lan'er by the lotus pond figured it out, she was grateful to her brother and father, and she was also relieved, and she had already arrived, and after briefly checking the bodies of these two minions, she respectfully said: "Qi Yu Niangniang, these two minions are drowning. ”
Nalan Lan'er asked with a cold face: "How is it possible?" The water in this lotus pond is not deep. plus the palace maid, even if the eunuch is a man who drowns so easily?
Qi Zuo continued to say respectfully, a little embarrassed: "Hui Niangniang, this palace maid has no injuries on her body, and the eunuch has some injuries on her head, which should have hit the hard stone at the bottom of the lotus pond and caused her to fall into a coma, and finally drowned." ”
Nalan Lan'er frowned and said, "That is, to exclude him from killing?" ”
He responded: "Judging from the corpse, there are no traces of his killing, no strangulation marks and no internal injuries. ”
Nalan Lan'er had a cold face and said to the courtier: "This palace knows, move the corpse down." ”
"Yes." He beckoned four or five little eunuchs to carry the body down.
Wan'er stood next to Nalan Lan'er and listened to it very clearly. wondered: "Niangniang, Xiao Yanzi will really commit suicide?" Wan'er looked at him at that time and didn't look like she was looking at herself. ”
After looking at the surrounding environment, Nalan Lan'er finally looked at the calm lotus pond and sneered: "Xia He is the kind of cowardly person, how can he commit suicide." Xiao Yanzi still has a family, what do you say? ”
The palace people by the lotus pond had already walked to the point where only Nalan Lan'er was left, and when they saw that there were no clues around, they left and returned to the palace.
As soon as she turned around, she saw the palace goddess who was called back to get the shawl running anxiously, and after handing the clothes to Wan'er, she bent down and lowered her head to hand the letter in her hand to Nalan Lan'er.
"Qi Yu Niangniang, Sister Cailian found this in the room, and it was found on Sister Xia He's bed."
Wan'er reached out first and took it, Nalan Lan'er looked at the letter in her hand and frowned: "Open it and read it." ”
Wan'er opened the envelope and read it as she read it. After reading it, she couldn't believe it, but Nalan Lan'er pursed her lips and asked Wan'er to return to the palace after collecting the letter.
The letter said that Xia He was sorry for his master, and teamed up with the former emperor and concubine to frame the master because she was bumped into by the former emperor and concubine when she was eating against Xiao Yanzi, and used this to blackmail them. In order to survive, they had no choice but to cooperate with the former emperor and concubine with their conscience and take their master to find her.
After a series of events, Xia He watched his master being taken away by the emperor with his own eyes, and he was very scared when he thought he was going to be punished. She was sorry for her mother, so she broke off herself.
This letter seems to be very reasonable to outsiders, but in the eyes of Nalan Lan'er, it is nonsense!
After returning to the palace, Nalan Nalan asked people to compare Xia He's handwriting, and found that it was indeed Xia He's handwriting.
In addition, some palace maids reacted that Xiao Yanzi and Xia He had been walking very closely, and at this time Nalan Lan'er found out that she was just walking according to the path arranged by others, and sure enough, it didn't take long for the guards who were sent out to search for the cold palace of the first emperor and concubine to come up with a yellow cloth, and Wan'er took it and almost threw the cloth away.
She didn't dare to bring the yellow cloth close to Nalan Lan'erjun, she just stood a few meters away and unfolded the cloth, and immediately killed Nalan at the cost of her life. These eight words are obviously red and shocking, and at first glance it looks like blood, and it took a while to see that it was cinnabar.
When Nalan Lan'er saw such words, her mood was not wavering, and she would not believe this kind of curse. He just looked at the chief of the guard faintly, waiting for him to speak.
The chief guard clenched his fists and bowed his head and said: "Qi Niangniang, Wei Chen found this yellow cloth on the bed in the cold palace, and it is about Niangniang to tell Niangniang. ”
Nalan Lan'er motioned for Wan'er to hand it over, reached out to take this yellow cloth, and touched the cinnabar with her fingers, it would not fade, it was not just written on it, and I really couldn't find any suspicions.
"This palace knows, it's hard work, go down."
The chief of the guard was ordered to retreat. Nalan Lan'er put the yellow cloth on the table and the envelope, and also began to rub her temples, Wan'er looked at it and helped her gently rub her temples and said, "Niangniang, do you need to ask the imperial doctor to take a look?" The doctor said you don't think too much. ”
Nalan Lan'er opened her eyes and looked at the good weather outside, refusing: "No, ask the imperial doctor to run to Huayan Palace every day, and I will be called hypocritical." The headache of this palace is that all the evidence points to the suicide of the former emperor and concubine to frame this palace, and Xia He committed suicide because he was afraid. This has nothing to do with the Queen Mother. ”
Wan'er understood and comforted: "Don't worry, Niangniang, this is just the beginning, and there are still many opportunities in the future." ”
"What you said about a lot of opportunities means that the queen mother has a lot of opportunities, that's it, since she gave me a step, the palace will also go down."
Saying that, he looked at the things on the table, got up and said, "Wan'er will put these away, and the emperor will explain when he comes." ”
Wan'er said yes and began to pack up these things.
Before Nalan Lan'er could investigate, the matter was closed by someone else. This toss was past the lunch point, Nalan Lan'er had no appetite to rest, and Wan'er didn't dare to force it over, so she had to order the kitchen to use some light and mild ingredients to make a few dishes and soups. carried into the Nalan dormitory.
"Niangniang, if you don't have a good appetite, you can eat a little more. Otherwise, you will be hungry and your body will not be able to row. Wan'er laid out the meal and looked at Nalan Lan'er and said.
Nalan Lan'er looked at the few small dishes on the table, and the dishes without meat were all dishes with more chopsticks, and she looked up and sighed with a smile in her eyes: "Wan'er has a heart." ”
Wan'er smiled and said: "Niangniang joke, this is a slave's business, Niangniang should eat a little." ”
Nalan Lan'er cleaned her hands with the basin brought by the palace maid next to her, picked up the chopsticks and ate them, but she had never eaten much, even less this time, looked at these delicacies and said: "Wan'er, if you like to eat, eat it, go to the palace to rest, except for the emperor and the queen mother, no one should come to the palace." ”
Wan'er saluted and said, "Thank you for the reward, Wan'er understands." ”
After Father-in-law An took care of everything, he quickly returned to Cining Palace.
At this point, the queen mother had already taken a lunch break, and Mama Liu was waiting outside the door, and when she saw Grandpa An coming, the two exchanged heads.
"Mama Liu, is the Queen Mother resting?"
"It's stopped. What does Grandpa An need to tell him? ”
"After Mama Liu got up at the Queen Mother's house, she told her mother that everything was done. At that time, my father-in-law will have to sort out official business. ”
Mama Liu nodded, and Grandpa An stepped back.
Finally spent an afternoon quietly, and the two of them disappeared from Huayan Palace all of a sudden, and it seemed to be even more deserted.
The father-in-law next to the emperor came to report and said that he would have dinner together in Huayan Palace tonight.
Wan'er tactfully told her mother that she was resting, and respectfully sent her father-in-law away. Then he instructed the kitchen man to cook the food raw. That's when I woke up Nalan Lan'er.
Wash your face with lukewarm water to wake up, then dress up and put on your shoes. A gentle concubine appeared in front of her, and the gorgeous clothes on her body should have been dazzling, and she was covered by her gentle temperament, which looked a lot softer.
Knowing that the emperor was going to come to dinner, Nalan Lan'er said: "Wan'er, hurry up and tell the kitchen to make some dishes that the emperor loves to eat." ”
Wan'er said with a smile: "Don't worry, Wan'er has already ordered the kitchen after knowing that the emperor is coming, Niang Niang will drink tea first, and the emperor should come over later." ”
Nalan Lan'er breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly said, "Let the kitchen prepare some soup to relieve fatigue, as well as make some snacks and egg custard." ”
