Chapter 13: Making Enemies
Qing Huan's words made Concubine Yang's face cloudy. She heard that Chang Qinghuan was very stupid, and she had never defended being framed many times, and she didn't have much eyeliner in the palace, so she was weak. But I didn't expect to be so sharp-toothed.
Xin'er and Qing'er got acquainted at each other, and their master finally came back! In the past, the master didn't want to offend others, but now that others are bullying the master, the master has to fight back. Don't look at her master, a woman dressed as a man and took the top prize, that's a woman who doesn't let her eyebrows!
Concubine Yang covered her mouth and smiled, Danfeng's eyes were hooked, "It's not the concubine's!" I don't know if an abandoned concubine who has entered the cold palace, what qualifications do you have to talk to this concubine? After saying that, her Danfeng eyes flashed a hint of coldness.
Qing'er and Xin'er were scared, although the master was not afraid of trouble, but it was not good if things got big. This Concubine Yang is not good, and the master is also making enemies for himself! The two glanced at each other, and immediately wanted to kneel down to make amends.
"Enough! It was the mourning family who asked Chang Guiren to retire first, why, do you still blame the mourning family? Before the two little girls could speak, the old lady sitting on the top seat spoke coldly.
Concubine Yang seemed to have known that the old princess would speak for Qing Huan, bypassed Qing Huan, stepped forward and replied with a smile: "Old princess Niangniang, how dare the concubine, the concubine heard yesterday that Niangniang was unwell, so she specially sent the snow lotus from the Western Regions to make up for your body." ”
After speaking, he gave the palace maid a look with him, and the personal palace maid Biyun stepped forward with a jar and gave it to Mama Zheng beside the old princess.
The old princess didn't speak, waved her hand, and motioned for Qinghuan to retreat, Qinghuan saluted, and led Qing'er and Xin'er away.
When Concubine Yang saw Qing Huan leaving, her eyes were also a little annoyed, but the old princess protected her everywhere when she saw her! She really saw that Chang Qinghuan was getting more and more unpleasant!
"Concubine Yang, you know that the mourning family is unwell, and you also have the intention to visit the mourning family, but the mourning family has been weak recently and can't sit for a long time, if you have nothing else to do, just retreat." The old princess looked spiritless. If Concubine Yang wanted to say anything, she could only give up.
"In that case, the concubine will retire, and the mother will rest early." If she hadn't begged her for something, she wouldn't have taken this old immortal in her eyes! She still has a long way to go, so she naturally has to rely on this old princess, she gritted her teeth and left.
Qing Huan returned to the dormitory, feeling more and more strange, when was there an extra Concubine Yang in this palace? And if this Concubine Yang has shaved shoulders, waist is like a streamer, young and beautiful, she shouldn't be the concubine of the first king. The first king was never obsessed with beauty, and since the princes became adults, most of the drafts were for the princes to choose wives and concubines. What's going on here? And she was still so hostile to herself, which made her a little puzzled.
"Qing'er," something seemed to flash in Qing Huan's mind, and Qing'er hurriedly stepped forward, "Arrange for the secret guards outside the palace to come in tonight, be sure to bring the news outside the palace, in addition, you go and inquire about the rumors about this Concubine Yang in the palace, inquire carefully, be cautious, don't let people find out!" ”
Qing'er knows Qinghuan better than other girls, it doesn't matter, the master won't be so nervous. She immediately took the order and left.
As soon as Qing'er left, Xin'er hurriedly came in, "Master, Chunyin Qiulu is back, you have asked everything you inquire about clearly!" ”
Qing Huan immediately stood up, she would never give up on the matter of arson in the cold palace, and today's incident made her have one more object of suspicion. "Let them both in!"
Chunyin Qiulu came in and did not salute. The four girls originally grew up with her, like sisters, and naturally they didn't salute when no one was around, Qinghuan had long been used to it.
Chunyin opened his mouth and said, "Master, then Liu Er, the father-in-law of Liu, is the second-in-command of the Internal Affairs Office, and he has always been appreciated by the chief manager Xie Huai, so the beauty of managing the palaces was given to this Liu Er." On the night of the cold palace, the little eunuch in the palace said that he had not seen Liu Er. On the second day, Li Guiren wanted to make a new set of palace clothes, Liu Er took someone to measure Li Guiren's size, and later Mrs. Se Wu of Baichun Garden wanted to use the dowry, and Liu Er went to Baichun Garden. ”
"...... Se Wu" Qing Huan pondered for a moment, as if thinking about who this Se Wu was. Se Wu was originally the head of the largest Red Mansion Hundred Flowers Pavilion outside the palace, and a dance fell into the palace, so the king gave her a Baichun Garden. But her identity stayed at Mrs. and never changed. In the past, when he asked for peace, Qing Huan had also seen this dance, although it was not as arrogant and domineering as Li Guiren, but it was not a fuel-efficient lamp.
It's just that a lady uses her dowry, can she use a second-in-command like Liu Er? Qing Huan pondered for a while, and then said, "What else did you find?" Other than that, Liu Er hasn't been anywhere else? ”
Qiu Lu continued, "Liu Er came back from Mrs. Se Wu, and immediately called the little eunuch who reported to the cold palace that day, and he didn't know what he said, but he saw that the little eunuch went to Baichun Garden again. ”
Qing Huan is very chaotic now, and things seem to have some clues, but it is difficult to sort out.
This Liu Er has only been to Baichun Garden and Qingchen Palace, and these two people can be called Niangniang, only Li Chuyun. But is Li Chuyun really that stupid?
"Niangniang, although the slave maid is dull, but according to the slave maid, the culprit of this cold palace is definitely not Li Guiren. Although this person is arrogant and domineering, she is as timid as a mouse, and she will definitely not dare to harm your mother. asked the slave to say that there must be someone else to blame this culprit, but it was just to blame Li Guiren. Chunyin pondered for a while and said.
Qing Huan held her cheeks and nodded, this, even Chunyin, who usually doesn't understand this intrigue, understands it, and she naturally understands it.
"Alright, you guys go back and rest first, and then we'll talk about it when the dark guard comes in the evening." Qing Huan pinched his eyebrows and said tiredly. She never thought that she would become like this, and her insistence on going her own way would worry everyone in the end.
Chunyin and Qiulu glanced at each other and retreated. Xin'er made the bed for Qing Huan, but Qing Huan didn't want to sleep yet.
After thinking about it, the two little milk bags were still in Qinghe Palace, so I told Xin'er to make two little milk bags love to eat.
Qing Huan was the only one left in the room, and she thought carefully about what had happened since she entered the palace. Su Ying's snub on the wedding day, and the framing of Liu Qian's soft affair a month later, now the cold palace even wants to put her to death. This thing was like a huge spider web, trapping her and struggling.
But who is she Qinghuan? A strange woman who can pretend to be a woman to enter Beijing to take the exam and get the champion, why is she afraid of deception in this palace. She's going to resist, and she's going to fight back!
Since the two little eunuchs have been to the Baichun Garden of the Se Dance, she naturally has to go to the Se Dance as well. Whether she did it or not, Qinghuan has to go and see.
