Chapter 238: Suicide
Shuhuai had already expected such a day, but he didn't expect it to be so soon.
Concubine De naturally wouldn't be locked up with her, she followed Duan Kui for a long time, and when she stopped, she was already so scared that she couldn't even tremble, just standing so stiff and straight, her eyes were blank and her mouth was slightly open.
"Shuhuai girl, go in." As soon as Duan Kui's words fell, two eunuch-looking people came out of the court bureau, but there were many differences when you looked closely, such as the eunuch on the right, there were still very eye-catching blood stains on his arm sleeves.
The red-thorned Shuhuai closed his eyes suddenly, and the cold sweat on his forehead only felt like he was piercing his scalp for a moment. The fear of killing Shuyuan with her own hands yesterday has not passed, and after experiencing this again, she is almost paralyzed on the ground, carried in by the two eunuchs, and her feet are barely touching the ground.
It was very dim in the court, and the candles were miserable, only a few were lit, the smell was very big, the smell was fishy and musty, and the choked Shuhuai coughed twice, almost daring to gasp.
It turns out that killing people is really about paying for their lives.
Shuhuai didn't believe it before, but now she can't believe it or not, and it was her turn after Shuyuan died for a day.
The screams in her ears were endless, and when she passed by a room, a hand reached out through the crack in the window and grabbed Shuhuai's sleeve, which frightened her for a while, and the already narrow passage was filled with her cries and screams.
The eunuch behind him said impatiently, and pushed her forward, and she stumbled to the ground, and then was picked up again.
It's over, when you reach this realm, it's really not okay not to spit out some real things, I'm afraid that if you don't die, you will have to lose your skin.
Killing people is not too much, Shuhuai is not afraid of death, not that she is not afraid at all, but compared to a devastated death, she would rather die without pain.
But she knew the steward surnamed Liu of the Ye Court Bureau, and she had always been known for being ruthless, and there were almost no words that he couldn't recruit, and many hard-mouthed prisoners came to him and vomited clean within a day.
You can imagine how terrible he is.
After all, Concubine De is a concubine, and it is not time to torture her, but Pan Zhenan led her into a secret room, and the emperor did not go in, but stood outside to bask in the sun for a while, and then returned to the Taihe Palace.
Several palace people went in and out of the secret room, and almost everyone held a square plate, which contained the confessions and evidence of several people.
But Concubine De didn't even raise her eyebrows.
The interrogation was barely over until the evening, but the result was not good, and Concubine De was like hob meat, saying nothing.
Pan Zhenan wanted to threaten and scare her when he left, meaning that if she didn't say it again, she would be tortured tomorrow, who knew that Concubine De said, "Torture to extract confessions is useless to the palace, if there is anything, you can go and ask the Luan family, Guifei, she just gave birth to two children, but all of you connived at her, this time she put all the poison in Princess Shuying's diet, and the emperor didn't care?" What are you doing here? Don't you let this palace be a scapegoat for her? The emperor is so ruthless! If the mother's family knows about these things, it will be over with you! Bengong's father is an official of the imperial court, and the family has been hairpins for generations, but the concubine is comparable to the new ministers of the Yao family? Your Majesty, this is a big and small thing, and there will be a day when you will regret it in the future! ”
This is the most she has said in the past half a day.
impartially, he splashed the dirty water on Yao Chuxi again.
It seems that Concubine De is a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water, and plans to exchange her future for Yao Chuxi's bad reputation.
And there is a particularly right sentence in her words, that is, the Luan family. The Luan family's mother's family, the background and reputation are higher than the Yao family, even the emperor has to give them three points of thin noodles, if the Luan family explains one or two things to Concubine De, or simply spread rumors that the emperor tortured and tortured to extract confessions, then the matter would be tricky.
It's not for nothing that Concubine De can not be nervous at this time.
This year's winter seems to be colder than last year's, so Luo Xia stuffed some cotton into the jacket she made for Jiang Liu, and made a small jacket for the cat Jiang Liu picked up.
But the cat didn't want to wear it, every time it put it on, it would roll and kick down, and when it was about to wear it again, it got angry and even bit and scratched Jiang Liu.
Jiang Liu said with a smile: "This stupid thing who doesn't know how to be blessed in the midst of happiness." ”
"Fortunately, it is very lazy, and it is easy not to get out of the house, otherwise I am afraid that it will freeze off its ears."
Luo Xia remembered that she had a raccoon cat at home when she was a child, and that cat was very wild, often going out at night and coming back in the morning, and the same was true in winter.
Once it didn't come back for three days in a row, and the family thought it was dead outside, but it was also a big life, and it came back.
It's just that he broke one of his right ears in the cold, but fortunately, it was okay for his life.
In previous years, the winter clothes and shoes were all sewn collectively by the Shangyi Supervisor according to the size of the palace people, and then distributed everywhere, but this year, Jiang Liu's whole body was made by Luoxia.
From the shoulders of the jacket to the insole of the shoes, almost nothing is bad.
Ding Zhou and Han Shanggong both saw the clues, Ding Zhou secretly knocked Jiang Liu, Han Shanggong didn't have much opinion, just persuaded Luo Xia and said, "Be careful, Niangniang is in full swing this time, and there are many people who want to drag her down, but don't give her trouble because of you." ”
Why didn't she care? If it was according to her thoughts about the master of the concubine, she would definitely press this matter to death, and Jiang Liu and Luoxia would definitely drive them out of the Zhaoxi Palace.
But who hasn't had a young age? Palace people are also people, and it is inevitable that there are seven emotions and six desires, like when she was young, didn't she have a period of time with Gao Gonggong when no one picked it out? originally thought it was just a mutual comfort for the little palace maids and eunuchs, but when Gonggong Gao would rather give up his life to protect Han Shanggong's integrity, she understood that this was the love that the world often said.
Reached out and touched the scar on his neck, it has faded a lot over the past few years, but it still feels very thrilling to the touch, as if it was yesterday when he scratched himself in order to save Gao Gonggong.
Ding Zhou and Gao Gonggong are good friends, so naturally they also know some things about him and Han Shanggong, and secretly helped a lot, and there were several times when Ding Zhou stopped him when he wanted to attack Han Shanggong after the Chen family was abolished.
Thinking about the spirit of Gao Gonggong's presence in the sky, I can also look at it, Han Shanggong is living very well now, the master who serves her respects and loves her, the prince and princess are all good with her, and there is nothing to worry about living a rich life, I am afraid that the word comfortable life is just like this.
"Mother, I have something to tell you." Luo Yu entered the hall and said, "There is a girl on the stage who is gone." ”
To say that this stage is not a good place, the women in it are either beautiful or enchanting, but their mothers' families are very ordinary, so they don't have the opportunity to enter the palace to serve the emperor.
If you are favored by the emperor, if you don't like it, you can only sing a lifetime of drama on the mercy stage, and some excellent ones will be singled out to dance at the New Year's banquet.
In addition to the New Year's banquet, other occasions will also be selected from the dancing girls in the stage.
"Who died?" Yao Chuxi asked.
She has only been a concubine for a few days, and the matter of taking charge of palace affairs is in her hands, especially since the emperor has already attacked Concubine De, this kind of thing should naturally be told to her.
"The dancing girl who danced at the New Year's banquet is the most special one." Luoyu frowned and said, "At the New Year's banquet, what did she think, Niangniang, you also know that she died last night, and she said that she committed suicide." ”
On the same night, Shuyuan was suffocated to death, and the dancing girl on the stage hanged herself in her room, is this a coincidence?
It's not a coincidence, but I'm afraid no one will believe it.
Luo Yu continued, "That girl's name is Chunqiao, when she first entered the palace, she sang on the stage for a few years, and was later borrowed by the people of the song and dance workshop. ”
At the New Year's banquet, she glanced at her smile and Yao Chuxi saw it in her eyes, she couldn't get rid of the shackles of fate and wanted to fight, and she wanted the emperor to take a fancy to her, in fact, there was nothing wrong, but the blame was that the New Year's banquet had been over for so long, what did she do to kill herself at this time?
It's hard to figure out.
If she committed suicide two days after the end of the New Year's banquet, it may be because she was not favored by the emperor and was angry for a while, but at this time, she doesn't rely on each other, what does her death mean?
And he died on the same day as the book of Ningshou Palace.
Yao Chuxi naturally couldn't figure it out, so he told Ding Zhou about it and asked him to talk to Pan Zhenan.
And Pan Zhenan already knew about it, and even Luoyu didn't know everything about him.
In order to prevent the palace people from spreading the word, the suspected suicide conclusion was not passed on.
Tsubaki's strange death seemed to be a suicide, but in fact she was strangled to death before she was hung from the beams of the house.
Why did the man kill her? In addition to her ambitions and the fact that she once seduced the emperor, she doesn't seem to have anything to do with other things, so what's the use of killing her?
Or perhaps, the person who killed her was not for what to want, but for what to hide?
It snowed at night, the flakes were small, and the weather was not too cold.
The emperor came to Zhaoxi Palace in a warm sedan chair.
Yuan Shaoyu made a chicken soup, filtered the soup without any impurities, clear like pale yellow water, and when he lifted the lid, he could clearly see the star anise and ginseng wolfberries floating in the soup.
Because Yao Chuxi didn't like the fishy smell of chicken, Yuan Shaoyu deliberately tasted the chicken.
"This chicken soup is good, reward." The emperor took a sip and said.
Mainly because Yao Chuxi likes it.
The frost added some soup to the emperor.
"Mi'er will turn over, and she will crawl, Yun Shu can call her mother vaguely, but she can't resist Mi'er." Yao Chuxi said.
When she was pregnant with them, someone always said that the prince would be a naughty person, and Yao Chuxi didn't think so at first, but seeing that Yun Shu was still motionless, Mi'er began to jump up and down, and Yao Chuxi had to believe their words.
But Yunshu is not always honest, and she will climb twice when she wakes up, but every time she climbs twice, she can't climb, so she can't climb as fast as Mi'er.
The emperor was also helpless, "What a boy." ”
