Chapter 557: Disappointment
Concubine He was beaten by the board, although her injuries had improved a little, but she still couldn't do it, and at this time she was half leaning on the soft collapse, holding a teacup and looking at the door with a displeased face. Huangfu Xue came in and stepped forward to salute, "The last thing was that the courtiers were too reckless, and recently I have been thinking a lot at home, and I know that I was too reckless that day, so I came to visit my mother today, and solemnly apologized to my mother." ”
"Mrs. An, which one is this playing? That day, I couldn't wait for this concubine to accompany your son's funeral, and today I look like I'm low and small, I really think this concubine is so foolish? Tell me, what are you doing here today? Concubine He looked at him unhappily, as long as she thought of the thirty boards of that day, she couldn't wait to eat Huangfu Xue alive. What kind of thing is she, why is the emperor obedient to him, everyone says that the emperor loves him very much, but they know that in front of this woman, she is nothing.
How can this be, she wants everything, she wants to prove to everyone that she is the emperor's favorite person. As long as she's dead......
"Are you really here to apologize to Concubine Ben? Then show a little sincerity. With just one mouth, why should this concubine believe you. He Guifei pursed her lips disdainfully, turned her head to look to the side, and there was an old woman standing next to her, who kept her head down, looking inconspicuous at all. Concubine He glanced at Mama inadvertently and stood up with a smile.
"What does the mother want?" Huang Fuxue did not answer the rhetorical question. Concubine He stepped forward and said defiantly, "If I want all the shops and cash in your hands." Do you give? Huangfu Xue sneered, she had a big appetite, but unfortunately she miscalculated. Huangfu Xue sneered in her heart, but her face was still full of smiles, "Niangniang said that she laughed, the Huangfu family has never been separated, so it's not good to say anything about yours and mine." If the mother is short of silver taels, the courtiers still have some silver taels in their hands, which is not a lot, but you can borrow the mother to be sad excessively. ”
"Is Mrs. Ann pretending to be stupid or really stupid. This concubine has said it so clearly, don't you understand? He Guifei scolded, "Don't think that there will be no day when the concubine will turn over if she is in trouble now, when the concubine turns over, the concubine will definitely get back from you today." Seeing that he was embarrassed, he thought she was afraid, and smiled proudly, "But if you are willing to help this concubine get everything that this concubine wants, this concubine can not blame ...... past."
"Niangniang's kind courtiers have it, but the courtiers of the Huangfu family really have no right to decide. Thank you Niangniang for looking up to courtiers so much, but Niangniang should find someone else in this matter. ”
"You ......" Concubine He didn't expect her to say everything to this point, and Huangfu Xue deliberately pretended to be stupid and refused to say anything. Angry, "It's really a toast and don't eat and drink." Do you really think that this concubine will not dare to treat you for offending? Concubine He said and glanced at the grandmother behind her, a trace of murderous intent flashed in her eyes, and then she quickly took out a dagger from her cuff and flew forward to stab at Huangfu Xue.
Huangfu Xue had already been on guard, so she easily avoided it. After Mama failed, she decided to do it again, and at this time, An Mingchen rushed in with the guards, "Take down the person and the official." "Concubine He didn't expect An Mingchen to be outside, is this a coincidence or did they plot it before? If it's the latter, then do they all know what happened to her before?
Concubine He was flustered, and quickly thought of a way to get out. An Mingchen pulled Huangfu Xue behind him, the guards took Mama down, and the commander of the forbidden army stepped forward, Mama didn't know the commander of the forbidden army, seeing him so majestic, she thought she had seen the Son of Heaven, and she was so frightened that she knelt down directly, "Your Majesty, the old slave is guilty......"
What is the situation, he thought that Mama would have to quibble before admitting it, but she was so easy to recruit. Huangfu Xue glanced at Concubine He and said, "What is your relationship with Concubine He, why are you here?" ”
"Mrs. An, don't be distracted, this concubine doesn't know this person, and when she rushed out just now, this concubine was also startled." Concubine He subconsciously quibbled. Huang Fuxue was about to say something, when the emperor walked in with someone. Everyone saluted, and the emperor glanced at the grandmother on the ground, and then waved his hand, "Let's all be flat." This is the murderer you caught? ”
"Yes, this person is the suspect who killed the palace maid recently." The commander of the forbidden army stepped forward to pay his respects. The emperor glanced at her and felt a little familiar, but who it was, she couldn't remember it clearly Mama saw the emperor, and her head fell directly on the ground, "Your Majesty, those people should die, those people should die, this palace belongs to the emperor, they are not greedy enough, they are afraid of things that should not belong to them, they all deserve to die......"
"Even if they have any sins, there is me, there is law, why should you be a grandmother who does the right thing for heaven. Who are you, why did you kill those palace maids, I heard that you have killed many people before. Hurry up and bring it in, or I won't spare it. ”
Mama cried and cried, and raised her head in a trance, "The old slave doesn't remember, it seems to be many years ago, there was a little girl who told me that those people wanted to harm her, let me kill them, and said that killing people is a very enjoyable thing, harem life is boring, killing people can relieve worries and boredom, and people can not dare to provoke us." At that time, the old slave was bullied by the leading grandmother, and in a fit of rage, he killed her. And then it's ......."
No, it did happen many years ago, but hasn't it happened again for so many years? She said that he was addicted to killing, but why did he not kill again after so many years, but recently started killing people? An Mingchen felt that Mama was not telling the truth. The emperor changed his face, and regardless of An Mingchen's obstruction, he directly asked people to stay and behead his grandmother.
"Your Majesty, there are still many doubts in this case. This person can't be killed yet. An Mingchen and the commander of the forbidden army stepped forward to plead. The emperor's attitude was extremely resolute, "I have already decided on this matter, come here, pull people out and behead them." ”
Huangfu Xue felt that the emperor had something to hide from them, but the emperor didn't say that they didn't want to ask much, so she turned her head to look at Concubine He, "The huge Hehuan Palace, there are only a few intimate people around Niangniang, and there is one more today, Niangniang is so cautious that a person doesn't know?" ”
"What do you mean, Mrs. Ann?" Seeing that he didn't give up, Concubine He turned her head to beg the emperor, "Your Majesty, what does Mrs. An mean by this, is it because this person appeared in the Hehuan Palace, so the concubine is the culprit, and she will be beheaded with this person?" The concubine was wronged. The emperor, all kinds of concubines have been done before, and the concubines have all recognized it, but today's matter, the emperor just killed the concubines, and the concubines can't admit it. ”
"Alright, I've got my own decision. Go back first. The emperor looked tired and turned to leave. Huang Fuxue wanted to say something, but An Mingchen stopped him. Huangfu Xue had no choice but to respond, and Concubine He looked proud, "Mrs. An, don't get carried away, this concubine is doing the right thing, how can you be wronged casually?" ”
"Whether Concubine He was wronged or not, Concubine He knew it in her heart. Today's things can be stopped, but those who died, can Concubine He really sit back and relax without the slightest guilt? Huangfu Xue was not convinced, but she couldn't say anything because of the etiquette. On the way back, his face was puzzled, "What does the emperor mean, I obviously wanted you to find out the truth and return the harem to a clear mind, but now his attitude is so vague, does he really have something to hide from us?" ”
"Since ancient times, the Sacred Heart is hard to guess. Since the emperor said that this matter is over, then give up. An Mingchen saw that Huangfu Xue was a little unwilling, and stretched out his hand to hold the person into his arms, "I know you are unwilling." But don't worry, although we didn't bring down Concubine He this time, the emperor is not easy to fool, as long as the emperor is willing to scrutinize today's affairs, he will definitely be able to find out a lot of doubts......"
"You also said that the emperor is willing to scrutinize this matter. But the emperor's current attitude is not willing to scrutinize at all. The emperor is biased, I'm afraid that the next time we come to get one stolen goods, the emperor won't really deal with Concubine He. Huang Fuxue thought of this, where could she be happy. Concubine He was originally arrogant and domineering, but now that she has the support of the emperor, she will spare no effort to deal with them in the future......
"Don't be so pessimistic, take one step at a time, maybe the emperor has his own plans." An Mingchen knew that she would not be able to turn for a while. I can only comfort her with good obedience. There was An Mingchen's relief along the way, and Huang Fuxue's mood when he returned home was also a lot better. The steward told her about today's profit again, and thinking of the silver in vain, Huang Fuxue's mood immediately improved.
That's it, no matter how uncomfortable she is, Concubine He is still alive and well. Why should she embarrass herself with something that hasn't happened yet, besides, Xianggong is right, one failure does not mean future failure, and it is not certain who loses and who wins in the end. No matter how she looks at it, she is smarter than He Guifei, and she doesn't believe that she can't win in the end.
After figuring it out, Huang Fuxue saw everything a lot more pleasing to the eye. I also ate an extra bowl of rice in the evening. An Mingchen originally thought that she just didn't care on the surface, and wanted to find a chance to comfort her again, but who knew that she would go to the shop to be busy the next day. Huangfu Xue is in a good mood today, all fish and shrimp are all 80% off, and everyone is very happy when they hear this.
After a few days, the income is even better than the previous days. Walking with the wind in a swagger, Huang Fuxue couldn't help but joke when she saw this, "Why haven't I seen you like silver so much in the past?" ”
"I didn't have it before, and if I did, I would be as happy as I am now. After all, who doesn't love money? Swagger smiled and went to the study. Huangfu Xue waited to see that the shipper did not follow, and the magpie came over with a plate of pastries, with a strange face, "Miss, the emperor is here." ”
At this time, what did the emperor do? Huangfu Xue glanced at the corridor in confusion. "Let's go. Let's take a look. "No matter what the emperor does, she comes, she can't hang people in the yard. Huang Fuxue still resents the events of that day in her heart, if it weren't for the recent business events to divert her attention, she might have to scold the emperor three or five times a day. Could it be that she is talking about people?
If he had known this, he would have stopped chattering. , she didn't want to see him at all now. But whether she wanted to see it or not, Huangfu Xue still came to the hall. The emperor sat at the table drinking tea, originally thinking that she would definitely complain and be angry after the events of that day, but now, she was smiling, and it seemed that she had never taken that matter to heart. The emperor didn't know why, he was obviously here to explain, but when he saw her like this, he suddenly felt bad in his heart.
