Chapter 69: The Two-Colored Mandarin Duck
There was still a slight pain in my lower abdomen, and I was secretly worried in my heart, so I took out the embroidery needle from the sewing basket, gently pricked my finger, and dripped the blood on the close-fitting obscene clothes under Fleur's surprised gaze.
There was a sound of hurried footsteps in the courtyard, Yongyan walked in anxiously, and before Yongyan came to me, I began to cry in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the concubine is sorry for the emperor, and I almost didn't save the emperor's child." ”
Yongyan's original Tie Qing's face softened a little, and he held my hand and said, "Yujue, I will definitely find out about this matter." ”
I nodded, my body moved inadvertently, Yongyan saw the bloodstains and frowned, "Imperial Doctor Liang, how can Jin promise to meet Hong, can the fetus be affected?" ”
Imperial Physician Liang bowed down and replied: "Back to the emperor, Jin's promise was caused by poisoning, and the culprit was the Mandarin Duck Two-color Cake, which contained Ruixiang flowers. ”
Yongyan knew the power of this, and said in a deep voice: "I heard that the dim sum was eaten at Concubine Xin's, so I went to invite Concubine Xin over." ”
When I heard this, I hesitated and said, "Your Majesty, this snack was not made in the small kitchen in the palace of Concubine Xin, but was given by Concubine Ru." ”
"Concubine Ru is also invited to come over, there must be no mistake." Yongyan opened his mouth coldly.
Xin Guifei was helped by the pearl next to her and walked in, her face was very ugly, I knew in my heart that Xin Guifei ate more than me, so she was like this, Xin Guifei coughed softly and knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, the concubine is also a victim, I didn't expect that Jin agreed, but fortunately Jin promised to be fine, otherwise the concubine would not be useless if she died ten times." ”
I glanced at Concubine Xin with relief, "Let's get up first." Yongyan's tone softened, and Concubine Xin got up with relief, and then looked at me worriedly.
There was a ringing sound, and a pungent aroma came over, and you didn't need to look at it to know that it was a concubine. Dressed in a water-blue floral pattern, the front of the clothes is embroidered with large peony flowers, the goose-yellow waist looks generous, and the Yaochi coral hairpin on the sideburns hangs down with the body swinging, swaying.
Concubine Ru bowed generously and said, "The emperor is auspicious, I don't know what to do when you summon your concubines to Qiancuiyuan so late?" Concubine Ru glanced at Xin Guifei, who was sitting indifferently on the chair, and was even more puzzled in her heart.
I looked at Concubine Ru almost through gritted teeth, and for a moment I really wanted to end her life with a single knife. Yongyan turned around and shouted, "Kneel!" ”
Concubine Ru was slightly stunned, and when she saw that my eyes seemed to understand something, she knelt down obediently and said aggrievedly: "Your Majesty, the concubine doesn't know whether she did something wrong and angered the emperor, or if someone is like the emperor who has slandered." Rufei's ill-intentioned eyes gestured to me.
I don't want to see her face again, Yongyan slowly spoke, and there was a coldness in his voice: "Concubine Ru, I ask you, the mandarin duck two-color cake is what you gave to Concubine Xin, what kind of heart do you have, do you know that you almost hurt the dragon fetus in Jin's womb!" ”
Concubine Ru looked at Yongyan with a confused look, shook her head, and said: "The concubine is puzzled, the concubine saw Xue Yan yesterday, Xue Yan is cute and sensible, and the concubine likes it very much, so she gave the snack to Xue Yan, and the concubine didn't know what she did to involve Jin's promise." ”
Concubine Xin glanced at Concubine Ru coldly on the side, and spoke: "In this way, Concubine Ru is ready to harm the character of this palace, how innocent is it, if Xue Yan has anything to offend you, this palace is here to make amends for you, but I didn't expect you to use such an insidious method, Ruixianghua is not a poison, even if you die, you can't detect it." ”
Concubine Ru frowned, and her gorgeous and sharp armor pointed at Concubine Xin and said suddenly: "What nonsense are you talking about, what Ruixiang, this palace doesn't understand what you're talking about, this palace has never wanted to harm Xue Yan, let alone want to harm Jin to agree." ”
There was silence in the house, faintly hearing the "click" sound of the mist dripping down on the glazed tiles, the night of the Forbidden City was still as quiet as ever, and it seemed that the sky was full of stars through the window, and I don't know how many people were listening, guessing what happened tonight.
I suddenly remembered the panicked palace maid beside Concubine Xin, so I said to Yongyan: "Your Majesty, the concubine suddenly remembered that the palace maid who served snacks to the concubine and Concubine Xin in the Wanchun Pavilion at that time was unintentional according to what she said at the time, but now it seems that this is not the case, so the concubine thinks she may know something." ”
Yongyan nodded and said to Orori: "Go and bring the palace maid that Jin promised to say, I want to ask clearly." ”
The people around Father-in-law E were fast, and they came in in a hurry after a while, Father-in-law E looked embarrassed, wiped his sweat with his sleeves, and replied: "Your Majesty, the palace maid's name is Yingchun, and I heard that the people in the palace of the concubine Niangniang said that Yingchun disappeared since she was scolded by Niangniang from the pavilion in the afternoon, and the slave sent someone to look for it, and as a result, the body was found in the well in the backyard of Fanwu Courtyard. ”
Gonggong E lowered his head and said that he didn't see the change in Yongyan's face at all, and Concubine Xin got up from the chair with a "Teng" sound, and said almost firmly: "What? If you are dead, then you are not dead. ”
I glanced at Concubine Ru faintly, her face was still calm, the irony at the corner of her mouth was looming, and I sneered: "Your Majesty, it seems that someone killed someone, I originally thought it was really an accident, it seems that Yingchun is a person who knows the secret."
"Your Majesty, the concubine knows that the emperor has a prejudice against the concubine, but today's matter is definitely not the concubine's doing, the concubine can swear to the sky, the concubine and Jin agreed to be a little misunderstanding but did not want to harm her, the concubine is also a person who is a mother, and knows the importance of children in her mother's heart." Concubine Ru said earnestly to Yongyan, holding the corner of Yongyan's clothes in her hand.
Yongyan looked at Concubine Ru's sincere gaze, her eyes gradually wavered, and Concubine Ru took advantage of the situation: "Your Majesty, don't forget what happened to Xue Jun Gege that day, Jing Wan was wronged at that time, how indifferent the emperor was to Jing Wan, why didn't the emperor believe in Jing Wan!" ”
Ru Guifei coughed lightly, straightened the expression on her face and said calmly: "I don't know if Concubine Ru is a wronged concubine, this matter is caused by the concubine's palace maid, and the emperor's matter will be handed over to the concubine to investigate." ”
Yongyan glared at Concubine Ru angrily: "I am usually too indulgent to you, which is why you have become so ruthless, this matter is not something you did, if it were you, I would never spare it." ”
Concubine Ru raised her face to meet Yongyan's cold gaze, and looked around at everyone in the room without being humble or arrogant, and I spoke: "Your Majesty, this matter should be handed over to the concubine, the concubine will definitely let it come to light, and it is good not to wronged Concubine Runiang." I spit out the word "wronged" heavily, and glanced at Concubine Ru contemptuously.
Yongyan had no choice but to wave his hand, "I'll leave it to the two of you." ”
I was silent in my heart: if it was really her work this time, I would not leave myself with trouble again.
