Chapter 346: Praying Mantis Catches Cicadas and Yellow Sparrows Look
"The Queen Mother has arrived!"
A clear voice sounded outside the door of Zuiyue Xuan, which made Concubine Xian and Concubine Xue break off the quarrel for the time being, and all the people in the courtyard knelt down to salute and greet them.
Only Xue Ze and Lianzi did not kneel in the courtyard, the two stood in the corner inconspicuously, and the focus of the Queen Mother was not on the two of them.
The Queen Mother stepped on heavy steps, and the voice of Longxuan also decorated with a majestic momentum, which made people dare not look directly, so they could only bow their heads and listen and wait for the ceremony.
The Queen Mother brushed her sleeves and removed the branches in the courtyard, and walked to the center in a hurry, all this prosperous beauty was not in her eyes, only the puppet in the hand of the virtuous concubine contained all the eyes.
"Give it to the mourners!"
Concubine Xian was startled, stood up timidly, and walked over with her head down. As soon as she raised her hands, the puppet was snatched away by the Queen Mother, and the strength was commensurate with her resentment, which made Concubine Xian panic and worried.
Gonggong Li coughed and said to Concubine Xian: "When the old slave encounters such a tricky matter, he will ask the Queen Mother, after all, this matter is related to the Queen Mother, and the dispute over Zuiyue Xuan can be resolved quickly." Concubine Xian, do you have any opinions?"
Concubine Xian was stunned and shook her head in panic. "Don't dare, this matter is naturally handled better by the Queen Mother!"
Xue Ze smiled softly, looked at the Queen Mother's changing expression, and watched her tear and crumple the puppets one by one......
Although I can't see it clearly, I can judge from the general appearance how resentful the Queen Mother should be at this time.
A brocade dress and satin, vermilion and jade can't contain her ruthless mentality, the queen mother's gorgeous and delicate face is full of anger and coldness, her fingers as white as snow and as thin as green onions are rubbed red by the cloth, and there are even some broken nails and broken nails.
The material of the puppet is very good, and the inner and outer packaging is also sealed, and it is also sealed with gold threads and charms.
Seeing this, Gonggong Li hurriedly walked over to comfort: "The Queen Mother is angry!
"Hmph, who the hell is it?!" the Queen Mother threw the puppet to the ground and looked at Concubine Xian and Xue Ze angrily. "You... Who of you has the audacity to violate the ban and curse the mourning family!"
Concubine Xian shook her head in horror and watched Gonggong Li pick up the things, and then knelt on the ground.
"The Queen Mother is aware that the concubines don't dare to do this, this is found in the Xue Concubine's house!"
Xue Ze knew that it was time to speak, so he looked at the Queen Mother pitifully twice, and said softly: "Qingling will definitely not do such a thing, this puppet is clearly framed by someone! Qingling is not fully familiar with the people in the palace, and has never explored numerology and eight characters, and even does not remember the birth dates of the people around her, how can she know such secrets as the Queen Mother?"
The Queen Mother sank and glanced at Concubine Xian dissatisfied. "This matter must be someone in the harem! Either you have hatred for the mourning family, or you want to use the mourning family to frame you! Today, the head of the harem is here, and the suspect of stolen goods is here, how do you want to deal with the mourning family with the virtuous concubine and Xue Concubine!"
"Queen Mother, Qingling is not a suspect!" Xue Ze replied dissatisfiedly, thinking in his heart: Now that you are biased towards Concubine Xian, you are so kind-hearted, I will do whatever you want, lest you step on me and find some other way!
Concubine Xian was stunned for a moment, and then launched an assist: "Concubine Xue, you are not big or small in the face of the emperor, why don't you understand the rules of the harem." Even if you don't kneel down and salute because the emperor agrees, then you have to give the queen mother a little thin noodles! You take your maidservant to openly call out, what a waste of the queen mother's tolerance for you! Originally, things were in your palace, and the queen mother could convict at will, but now that you are given a chance to explain, you are holding on to a salutation, can't you be angry at all?"
Yukisawa snorted coldly and straightened his waist arrogantly. "I didn't do it, why should I admit it? I have never touched my hands, but you want to say that I am a suspect, are you not deliberately belittling?"
The Queen Mother looked at the two of them dissatisfied, took the puppet in Gonggong Li's hand, and looked at it carefully. "Xue Concubine, don't you accept the title of this suspect? Then you are talking about whether the Jiumi fragrance in this puppet is familiar?"
Concubine Xian was overjoyed in her heart, looked at the Queen Mother approvingly, and hurriedly added words: "There is also this handwriting and cloth, how do you explain it, Xue Concubine? The puppet is so delicate and luxurious, there are few people in the harem who can do it, and these precious things happen to have nothing to do with you! I heard that you often make incense when you are in Zhenning, and this long-term honey fragrance is your aunt's exclusive secret recipe, and only you can make it in the palace, right? This golden rain silk is also a border thing, and there is only one horse in your palace in the palace, do you dare to let us test it?"
"Then let's check it! However, this dowry is in the side hall, and I have never taken it! If it is really lost, Qingling will not dare to admit it!"
"Queen Mother, please allow the concubine and Gonggong Li to go in and check!"
Xue Ze smiled coldly, and thought to herself: This virtuous concubine really took some effort, but how did she know that Aunt Qingling's family was an incense-making faction?
The Queen Mother smiled softly, "No need!
Concubine Xian was startled and stared at the Queen Mother suspiciously. "It's... This?"
Even if these evidences are true, the mourning family is willing to tolerate it for the sake of the emperor, after all, Xue Concubine is the emperor's heart! However, this matter is really dangerous, and it also involves Xue Concubine's disrespect for etiquette. Today, there must be an end, what do you say?"
Xue Ze smiled faintly, not very happy, it seemed that she had always felt that she was innocent and did not need to thank anyone.
"Thank you for the Queen Mother's trust, I don't know how the Queen Mother wants to end?"
"Let's just treat this matter as a misunderstanding, and you apologize and salute the mourners. This doesn't embarrass you, right? After all, as the emperor's biological mother, the mourning family can still afford your bowing ceremony!"
Xue Ze smiled knowingly, and replied in a cold tone: "Qingling is not wrong in this matter, if the Queen Mother really trusts, then she won't be so embarrassed! If the Queen Mother doesn't believe it, Qingling is useless even if she breaks her head, so why make a fuss?"
Concubine Xian looked at the Queen Mother's dissatisfied look, and seemed to understand that the Queen Mother was retreating.
"Queen Mother, the concubine told you a long time ago, this Xue Concubine is pampered and arrogant, and she doesn't take Tiangang Guoji to heart at all, how can there be a Queen Mother in her eyes?"
"The mourning family has also given face, and the back road has also been left, this is Xue Concubine who doesn't appreciate it!
The Queen Mother snorted coldly, brushed her sleeves away, and was full of anger in her heart: Although I wanted her to fall into the trap, I never thought that she was so arrogant and pampered, and she simply didn't take me seriously! No matter what, if others knew, they would blame her for being stupid and arrogant, and they couldn't blame me at all! Concubine Xian, you have to punish her well, otherwise I will punish you!
Concubine Xian watched the Queen Mother walk away, and smiled coldly at Xue Ze, looking gloating.
"Xue Concubine, you are really arrogant!"
Xue Ze nodded with a smile, "Compared to you, I'm a little more stylish!"
"Okay, I'll see what your style can bring you!" Concubine Xian summoned a group of people to come in, surrounded Xue Ze and Lianzi, and said arrogantly: "Xue Concubine ignored the laws of Beihua, and repeatedly violated the dignity of the Queen Mother, it is really a great rebellion, and she should be beheaded according to the law!
Renzi pulled Xue Ze's sleeve and whispered, "Are we really going to go to the cell again?"
"You can go in and escape, and you have to rely on you to intercept the letter! Don't worry, this time the cell should be better than the last time, and no one will poison it!"
"It won't be poisoned, but tortured!" Lotus Seed was not very happy, but she still helped Xue Ze to walk out.
Xue Ze didn't have any emotion, just looked at the back in front of him indifferently, and sighed in his heart: What a virtuous concubine, you are simply wasting your good life experience! Sure enough, everything is fair! God has given you glory and wealth, which has made you lose a lot of mental talent, when will you wake up when you are being used by others?
In the far corner, He Yu smiled with satisfaction and looked at the box in his hand again.
Shearling caught her smile and walked lightly, she had to do her own thing.
The box in He Yu's hand contained the "torture instrument", which was the idea provided by the shearing, and the poison was also replaced by the shearing.
"I've been waiting for so long, and finally I've waited for a great opportunity for them to make another move! Xue Ze, you go in! Do you think that all this is what you expected? Hehe, after experiencing life and death, I am also a lot smarter, and I will sit and reap the benefits of the fisherman tonight!" Shearvel smiled proudly, hid his beloved beads in the bag around his waist, and reassured himself over and over again: It's okay, it's okay, my goal will be achieved soon! I'm not in the bureau, and no one can control me!
This bead was stolen from Liu Zhong by Shearling, and she regarded it as a treasure and relied on it to do something.
Even if this is not the Blood Moon Divine Bead, it has divine power and uses, and the shearing is very happy, everything is like a rebirth for her.
"Tonight, Xue Ze, you can try my pain that day! There are too many people in this palace who hate you, and your task in this mortal world is too heavy, I can free you!"
Isn't it the most liberating result to be at peace in the Three Realms, turning into wind shadows and dispersing into smoke and dust?
