Chapter Seventy-Two: The Truth Revealed
Now my body is getting more and more lazy, just into the crescent moon room leaning on the couch to rest, the crescent moon smiled and sat beside me and said: "What Xinyang Maojian, Lu'an tea is estimated that you don't drink, I have prepared plum soup here, shengjin quenched thirst." ”
I patted Xinyue's hand with a smile: "It's rare that you have a heart." "The incense burned in the room seems to have been replaced, and the crystal glass incense burner wafts out of the curling fragrance, fresh and pleasant like a lily pure, I think it is the new moon afraid that I will not be used to smelling the rich aroma.
Xinyue was dressed in homely pink, with only a simple coral embossed hairpin on her hair, and looked at me worriedly: "Sister, why does the emperor only give my sister the position he promised?" ”
I laughed lightly, wiped the plum juice left at the corner of my mouth with a handkerchief, and slowly: "What important thing should I be, whether I am promoted or not, now I am already the target of the public, if I carry the rank again, how many pairs of eyes will stare at me." ”
Xinyue nodded suddenly, and I paused: "Besides, the place I should have stayed in was not Qiancui Garden but Ningxiang Pavilion, Yongyan summoned me regardless of the previous suspicions, where did you dare to seal me in a big way, the Queen Mother was the first unwilling, and Concubine Ru will definitely seize this big fuss." ”
When Xinyue heard this, she nodded approvingly, lowered her head and embroidered two peony flowers on her handkerchief, and looked up and said: "Speaking of the Queen Mother, I heard that she gave the daughter of Scholar Su to the second elder brother as a side blessing, and the queen mother originally took care of the second elder brother regardless of the affairs in this palace, how could Miss Su be willing to be a concubine." ”
"Where is the queen mother in charge of the second elder brother, she clearly wants to embarrass me, Miss Su is just affected by me, the queen mother just wants to warn me to keep me away from his grandson, such as the concubine caught the suspicious heart of the queen mother and the emperor to make a fuss." I said lightly, my heart full of disdain for Concubine Ru.
Xinyue snorted coldly, and the corners of her mouth showed sarcasm: "I am afraid that only she knows how the Concubine City Mansion is, and the battle of the women in the palace is just that, why bother to burden Miss Su in vain." ”
I said coldly: "She's not all here for me, what do you think will happen if the second elder brother loses the favor of the queen mother and the emperor?" Naturally, her son gained power, and the emperor's favor was short-lived, and it would only be a few years better, and only when he mastered power would he stand tall in the harem. ”
The new moon lowered her head and kept embroidering in her hands, and when she heard my words, she stopped what she was doing and thought about it to herself. After talking to Xinyue for a while, Fleur glanced at the carved window lattice and whispered in my ear: "Master, it's not too early for us to go back." ”
I glanced at the moonlight scattered on the table under the window, and forgot the hour while talking to the crescent moon. Xinyue smiled lightly: "It doesn't matter if you stay late, anyway, the emperor won't come back to me." ”
Xinyue has always been sickly, and Yongyan gradually got used to this unfavored woman who did not summon her. Xinyue got up to see him off, said a few words and left the Zhongcui Palace.
When I came out to see the full and round moon in the night, I suddenly remembered that today was fifteen, when I passed by the Changchun Palace, a cold wind blew through the hibiscus and tied the cloak to my body, I glanced at the dark Changchun Palace, and sighed silently in my heart, the Changchun Palace in the past was so majestic, at that time, Concubine Jian, Concubine Shu, Yun nobles were so proud of the spring breeze, and now there is no good end.
Today's Changchun Palace has no concubines and gradually desolate, there is not even a eunuch guarding the palace gate, and few people in this area pass by, the gate of Changchun Palace is open, through the moonlight, you can vaguely see the crazy weeds growing in the flower beds inside, I sighed, raised my feet and wanted to leave, and suddenly heard a low cry.
"Fleur, did you hear the cry?" I asked coldly.
Fu Hui leaned his ears and replied: "Master, it seems that there is, as if it came from the Changchun Palace." ”
I settled down and listened carefully, sure enough, it was from Changchun Palace, I snorted coldly and said in my heart: Could it be that someone scares me, if someone else is changed, I will definitely be afraid, but after all, I am pretending to be a ghost to scare the Xi nobles, so I am not afraid at all.
Entering the Changchun Palace, it was dark all around, only the light could be faintly seen in the hall of the nobles, Fu Hui pushed open the door and saw a woman with her back to us burning paper in the brazier, crying and chanting: "Master, you must not come to the slave maid, this matter really can't be blamed on the slave maid, the slave maid was only greedy for money at that time to do the wrong thing, the slave maid will burn more paper for you....."
The woman turned her back to us and didn't hear the door open, I recognized this figure and voice, it was Biqing, the maid beside Yun Guiren. Hearing what she said, I couldn't help but be stunned, could it be that there is another inside story in this matter, and Yun Guiren was really wronged?
I stood outside the door, and said in a low and quiet voice into the room, "Biqing, Biqing." ”
The dark paper in Biqing's hand was scattered, and he said vigilantly: "Who?" Who's calling me? ”
I laughed gloomily twice: "What's the matter, I don't even know my own master anymore?" ”
Bi Qing screamed, kicked down the brazier beside her in a panic, and said in horror: "Master, the master spares his life, the slave and maid don't know that it will kill you, the slave and maid just said your name in a panic, I didn't mean to wronged you, if you want to blame, blame Xin Guifei and Jin for agreeing!" ”
My heart sank, Yun Guiren was really wronged, and I shouted: "Biqing, if you don't tell who instructed you, I will pester you night and night for your life!" ”
Biqing kowtowed in the hall, sturdy kowtow to the ground, crying: "Master, the slave is wrong, the master spared the slave and the maid, the slave and the maid were instructed by others, at that time the slave and the maid around the letter concubine Su'er had a good relationship, she knew that I was short of silver recently, that day Su'er came to the slave maid, saying that the slave maid only needs to help her do one thing, the concubine will give the slave a lot of silver, the stack of two-color cakes is the slave maid exchanged, Yingchun accidentally found out so the slave maid killed her, and the mutton fat hosta was also rewarded to the slave by the concubine, and the matter had fallen at that time, The slave and the maid were found to have no way to say the name of the master, and the slave and the maid thought that even if they didn't say it, it would affect you. ”
What the? It's the letter of the concubine..... I couldn't believe my ears.
There was no sound in the room, and Fleur looked at her when she entered, "Master, the useless one has already fainted. ”
I instructed Xiao Anzi: "Tie her up first and lock her up in the warehouse of Qiancuiyuan." ”
I stood by the door in a trance, it turned out that I had been trying to harm my Xin Guifei, I thought I had a good relationship with Xin Guifei, but why did she do this? In order to hurt me, she couldn't help but think hard, she didn't dare to use the people around her, even if the matter was revealed in the future, it would be blamed on others, and I couldn't help but shudder when I thought of that kind face.
