Text: Chapter 9 Questioning Sins
Mrs. Nalan's calm words were full of chilling desperation. Nalan Mingzhu took a step back sharply, and the old man's face became more and more pale.
Slowly, the door closed, and the world was cut off again.
"Let's go!"
After a moment, the voice outside the door spoke faintly, and then, the creaking sound of snow treading slowly disappeared.
Nalan Mingzhu sat on the chair with his ass, could it be that his mistake at the beginning would ruin his life in the end?
It's just the woman at the beginning, she is not worthy of the city.
Time flies quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the curtain is shrouded and the earth is cold.
Emperor Jingyuan came out of the Chen Palace, and Chief Manager Liang followed closely behind, and was just about to go to the Ning'an Palace, when the young emperor suddenly paused again, frowned and asked, "That little aunt of the Chen Palace, how is her injury now?" ”
When she went to Xingshi to ask for guilt during the day, she was so badly injured that she didn't know if she was awake now.
"Your Majesty, do you want the servants to go over and have a look?"
As the chief eunuch, Chief Liang is undoubtedly the person who is the most able to figure out the emperor's thoughts in the entire palace, and within a day, the emperor asked about this Aunt Jinyan several times, and Chief Liang also had a heart for this palace maid aunt in the palace.
"Well, it doesn't have to. When there is news, Nalan will also tell me. It's getting late now, so let's go back to Qianyuan Palace first. ”
To be honest, in the past two days and nights, Ning'an Palace and Chen Palace both had accidents, and the emperor was really tired. As for the little palace maid, it doesn't matter if she looks at it or not.
Chief Manager Liang immediately sang a promise, raised his hand to support the emperor, and slowly returned to the Qianyuan Hall step by step.
Behind him, the snow all the way, printed with the emperor's footprints, is like a lonely flower blooming in the dark night, so crystal beautiful, and so lonely.
In the second half of the night, in the ear room of the inner hall of the Chen Palace, Jin Yan finally slowly opened his eyes, and Qingzhi, who was napping by the bedside, saw it, got up gently, and asked, "Aunt Yan, is there anything uncomfortable?" Do you want to hire another doctor? ”
The probe hand tested the temperature on her forehead, only to feel that the high heat was burning, but the forehead was soaked with sweat, and it was not lightly wet.
Turning around and taking a hot towel from the table, he helped her wipe the sweat on her face, and said weakly, "Sister Qingzhi, am I dead?" ”
I clearly remember that in that cold and bleak abandoned palace, she was already hurt to death and froze to death, how can she still see Sister Qingzhi here?
"Aunt Yan is blessed with a great life, she is still alive, this time is in Mama's ear room, Mama has entered the inner hall to take care of Concubine Chen, Aunt Yan can rest in peace."
Seeing that she was so badly injured, how did she survive again?
There was a smash on the forehead, a palm wound on the face, and some strange injuries that could not be explained, like finger scratches, and like being bitten by something, in short, they didn't look good.
"Concubine Chen? Mother, she's wronged, isn't she? ”
His eyes flashed, Jin Yan got up from the bed with difficulty, grabbed Qingzhi and asked urgently, the look of anticipation in his eyes made Qingzhi couldn't help but be moved.
finally sighed, facing this little palace maid who used to sweep, Qingzhi couldn't turn a blind eye anymore, and told her in a low voice, "Aunt Yan, you can still avoid this kind of thing in the future." ”
The methods of the harem masters, how can they, the little palace maids, interfere?
"But, but the mother ...... her"
Jin Yan hesitated, she wanted to say, Niang Niang is not a bad person, but she can't say anything, Qingzhi shook her head, she rarely wanted to be kind for the first time, but Jin Yan is stupid.
"You're doing it yourself!"
In the end, all the words were turned into these words, Qingzhi turned around and went out, first to the grandmother, and then to the concubine, and finally, the little eunuch in the palace sent the message out, and it was transmitted to the Qianyuan Palace overnight, and at this time, the sky had quietly lit up. The morning light on the horizon followed, and looking at the sky, tomorrow should be a good day.
And this news passed over, and it was not until Emperor Jingyuan finished the morning dynasty and went down to the palace again, and then he took time to go to the Chen Palace, and Concubine Chen was frightened and was resting in bed, and there was no major problem at this time. After Emperor Jingyuan sat down for a while, he carried Aunt Jinyan, who was still in poor health, into the inner hall, and he and Concubine Chen sat on a high seat, looking at Jinyan majestically with a condescending gaze.
"How did you go to Ning'an Palace that night and be taken by the guards as an assassin?"
Emperor Jing Yuan went straight to the topic as soon as he spoke, and asked with a torch-like gaze. Jin Yan suddenly trembled, but he heard a loud shout from his head, "Raise your head and answer my question!" ”
With her palm on the side of the bed and pressing it heavily, Concubine Chen couldn't help frowning lightly, and said softly, "Your Majesty, don't be angry." But a palace maid is not worthy of such thunder from the emperor. ”
The slender hand was raised and gently stroked on the emperor's chest, Emperor Jing Yuan grabbed her with one hand, and his eyebrows softened a little, "Chen'er, don't make trouble." ”
After a pause, he said, "This palace maid sneaked into Ning'an Palace at that time, and was taken down by the guards on the spot, doesn't Chen'er suspect that there are many doubts about this palace maid?" ”
A little palace maid who sprinkled and swept, but the sparrow turned into a phoenix in a breath, and it just so happened that Concubine Chen had an accident, so she stole Ning'an Palace, and happened to be taken down by Nalan City on the spot...... This series of events happened too coincidentally.
"However, Jin Yan is the aunt of Chengong who was personally promoted by Chen'er, how can she be disrespectful to Chen'er?"
Concubine Chen was surprised, and said with a sad face, "If Chen'er can't even see the people around her clearly, then Chen'er will ...... in the future."
As he spoke, he suddenly burst into tears again and began to cry silently.
Emperor Jing Yuan was distressed, and immediately went to coax again, and for a while, in the huge inner hall, there were only women's low sobs and men's soft comforting voices.
Jin Yan knelt on the ground, her body was soaked with cold sweat, she didn't say a word from beginning to end, and her mother never gave her a chance.
And until now, she finally remembered what Sister Aoeda said to her, "You can do it yourself"!
Is she so self-sufficient, can she still do it to herself?
A bitter pain from the corner of his lips overflowed his throat, like a still sea, suddenly thrown into a stone, and countless ripples were caused in an instant.
The two people above were instantly alarmed, Emperor Jing Yuan helped Concubine Chen to look over, and said lightly, "What are you laughing at?" ”
But a mere palace maid dares to sneer at the Son of the Great Calendar?
Instantly, his eyebrows furrowed, Emperor Jing Yuan got up and kicked his robe down, "Your name is Jin Yan, isn't it?" I just asked you, and you haven't answered. If you don't give me a satisfactory answer today, I'll immediately have someone drag you out and cut you down. So, your chance is only this once, understand? ”
Leng Yi's chin was raised, Manager Liang immediately sent a chair over, Emperor Jing Yuan sat down, and the deerskin boots under the purple dragon robe, and the gorgeous ornaments inlaid with golden silk threads were exposed in front of her eyes.
Looking at the past from her angle, she can only see the emperor's feet.
And as the emperor said, her chance is only this once.
Taking a deep breath, all the words passed in her heart, she slowly leaned over and kowtowed, and then straightened her waist, her eyes did not shy away, she looked directly into the emperor's eyes, and said word by word, "Your Majesty, the slave and maid are wronged." The slave and maid only said one sentence, the emperor is the king, the slave and the maid are the ministers, the king wants the ministers to die, and the ministers have to die. ”
When the words fell, she bowed her head again and said no more. Concubine Chen, who was lying on her side, got up slowly, pointed to the brocade who kowtowed at the bottom and sighed: "You girl, you are really bold, in front of the emperor, you dare to be so presumptuous, and you can also claim to be a minister?" Is this the rule that Hongu taught you? ”
After gently scolding, she glanced at the emperor, and shouted "Someone is coming", and immediately two stout mothers-in-law came in, and Concubine Chen waved her hand and said, "Take her down." Nian is injured all over her body, and she will not be held accountable this time. Let her go down and have a good rest, and from now on, she won't be on an errand here in the main palace. ”
Holding a person, she moves her mouth, but to kill a person, it is even more a blink of an eye.
The left and right mother-in-law responded, and then glanced at the emperor sitting on the chair, and dragged the injured Jinyan to retreat.
And until he was dragged away, Jin Yan really didn't seem to say a word. Just a pair of bright eyes, looking at the emperor clearly, looking at the unknown emotions in his eyes, looking at his slightly furrowed brows, she smiled softly.
As the king of a country, there are always many last resorts.
She felt a little pity for him.
"Your Majesty......" Manager Liang stood aside and shouted softly, not daring to breathe.
The emperor sat on the chair in the hall, his eyes flashed instantly, and no one could see what he was thinking.
After a while, Concubine Chen came down from above, supported by the newly transferred palace maid beside her, walked in front of the emperor step by step, swept up her skirt and knelt down, and kowtowed in grief, "The emperor forgives the sin, the concubine is impulsive, just to maintain the dignity of the emperor, and please don't anger the concubine." ”
What she did just now, she did a little too much, in front of the emperor, how could she give orders? But she did just that.
This is the privilege of the favorite concubine, right?
Manager Liang sighed, thinking that the privilege of this favorite concubine was given by the emperor, but the emperor ...... It can also be recovered.
Chen'er said seriously. I didn't mean to blame Chen'er, but this palace maid was very bold, and I also felt that she should be punished. ”
With a soft face, Emperor Jing Yuan got up personally, helped the beauty in front of him up, bent down and picked her up, walked back to the bed, let her lie down and said, "Chen'er is too frightened, and her body is not good, let's have a good rest." ”
When the words fell, Mr. Liang immediately stepped forward and asked, "Your Majesty, the northeast has been snowing too much, and it has been affected by the snowstorm, and Lord Xu of the household department has been waiting for Hou Liang in the upper study for a long time. ”
"Good! Tell him I'll go. ”
The emperor answered, whispered a few words to Concubine Chen again, and then got up to leave.
As soon as he left the gate of the palace, the emperor stopped and beckoned Liang to the general pipe, "Go, think of a way to take out the little palace maid who is not afraid of death." ”
