Chapter 138: You're Over the Limit
"Five princesses!"
"Yu'er!"
Princess Jingyu suddenly fainted, and the envoys of the Lanqiang Kingdom stepped forward to check, and the banquet was suddenly chaotic.
The emperor hurriedly said: "Hurry up and announce the imperial doctor!" ”
The envoy group of Lanqiang Kingdom was led by the eldest princess of Lanqiang Kingdom, and the eldest princess was busy thanking and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace!" ”
The queen proposed: "Your Majesty, why don't you transfer Princess Jingyu to Biquan Palace so that the imperial doctor can treat her." ”
Biquan Palace is the closest palace to here, and the emperor nodded in agreement.
Concubine Ling also got up and said, "Your Majesty, let the concubine take care of Princess Jingyu on behalf of the queen." ”
On the emperor's birthday, the palace was amnesty, and a group of palace maids and eunuchs were released, and Concubine Ling was naturally grounded.
This is a state banquet, in addition to Lanqiang State, there are many envoys from other countries here, and the emperor and queen are not absent.
Concubine Ling, as a first-class palace concubine, expressed condolences on behalf of the emperor and queen, and her identity is also appropriate.
The emperor's face was pale, and his eyes looked at her a lot softer: "Okay, there is Concubine Lao." ”
Ling Guifei smiled softly and retired.
After Ling Guifei led everyone to retreat, the banquet continued, laughing and laughing, and staggering, unaffected by this small episode.
Only Zhou Jingrong had a relationship with Princess Jingyu, and she was quite deed, so she was worried that she fainted for no reason.
Fu Yunshen held her hand and comforted: "Don't worry, I'll send someone to inquire about the situation later." ”
Although Zhou Jingrong was worried, she had no choice but to nod lightly and return her attention to the banquet.
After a while, a little palace maid came to invite Zhou Jingrong: "Mrs. Fu, the concubine Niangniang, please go to Biquan Palace for questioning." ”
Zhou Jingrong was a little surprised, if she remembered correctly, Lan Qiang Guo and his party just went to Biquan Palace, Ling Guifei asked her to go to Biquan Palace must have been for this matter, but this matter has nothing to do with her, what do you want her to do?
This can't help but make people think about it, Zhou Jingrong subconsciously looked at Fu Yunshen.
Fu Yunshen nodded at her soothingly, and turned to the palace maid and asked, "What do you ask?" ”
The little palace maid was embarrassed: "This ...... The slave maid didn't know that the slave and maid had just come to pass the word. ”
Fu Yunshen took Zhou Jingrong's hand and said, "Don't be afraid, I'll go with you." ”
The little palace maid did not stop: "The two of you, please come with the slave maid." ”
But when the two of them came to the gate of Biquan Palace with the little palace maid, the little palace maid stopped Fu Yunshen and didn't let him in: "Lord Fu, please stay, the concubine Niangniang only summoned Mrs. Fu, and Biquan Palace is a female dependent at this time, I'm afraid it is not appropriate for adults to go in." ”
The little palace maid's obstruction made Fu Yun suspicious, and he took Zhou Jingrong and walked back: "Since this is the case, when is it convenient, we will come again." ”
The little palace maid couldn't stop Fu Yunshen, and shouted something anxiously, and suddenly a guard appeared, and stepped forward to intercept the two of them with a sword: "My lord, don't make it difficult for me to wait." ”
Fu Yunshen's expression changed suddenly, he glanced at Zhou Zhou coldly and gloomily, a cold and vigilant edge burst out of his eyes, and he held Zhou Jingrong's hand tightly.
Zhou Jingrong looked at this tense atmosphere, didn't want Fu Yun to be embarrassed, gently squeezed his palm, and persuaded: "Don't worry, the concubine didn't say it, just sent me to ask, it will be fine, you can go back and wait for me with peace of mind!" ”
Fu Yunshen's face darkened, his face became more and more ugly, but he already had a plan in his heart, and whispered to Zhou Jingrong: "Wait a minute, no matter what happens, don't be afraid, believe me, I will definitely not let you have anything." ”
Zhou Jingrong saw that Fu Yunshen looked like he was facing a great enemy, and said with a smile: "I don't know what is going on, you are so nervous." I wasn't scared, but when you say that, I'm a little scared. Don't scare me! ”
Zhou Jingrong pretended to smile relaxedly, and slowly walked into Biquan Palace under the leadership of the little palace maid.
In the night, the gate of Biquan Palace was like a hideous monster with a bloody mouth, devouring Zhou Jingrong little by little.
Fu Yunshen looked at Zhou Jingrong's back and frowned.
He couldn't relax, the water in the palace was too deep, and if he wasn't careful, he might be gnawed and there was not even scum left.
Therefore, every time Zhou Jingrong entered the palace, especially when he left him to act alone, he was worried.
Fu Yunshen stood at the door for a long time, until Zhou Jingrong's back disappeared from sight, and he turned around and strode away.
Zhou Jingrong walked into the main hall of Biquan Palace all the way nervously, and intuitively felt that nothing good happened.
Concubine Ling Guifei called her, obviously because Princess Jingyu fainted, but this matter had nothing to do with her.
This shows that this matter may have been related to her unconsciously, how can she not be worried.
Sure enough, Zhou Jingrong walked into the hall, and before he could salute, he heard an imposing question: "You are the one who poisoned my sister in Yuhua Shuang?" ”
Zhou Jingrong couldn't help but be shocked when she heard the word "poisoning".
She raised her eyes and looked over, and the person who questioned her was the eldest princess of Lanqiang Kingdom, and her extremely heroic face was full of anger.
Zhou Jingrong hurriedly said with concern: "How is Princess Jingyu?" ”
The eldest princess said coldly: "I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you, she doesn't have to worry about her life." ”
Zhou Jingrong breathed a sigh of relief, and asked puzzledly, "Why does the eldest princess think that I am a murderer?" ”
The eldest princess said: "There is a chronic poison in the Yuhua Cream used by Jingyu, and the Yuhua Cream was purchased from your shop, and it has never been in the hands of anyone else. ”
The eldest princess's tone was very affirmative, and her gaze at Zhou Jingrong was as sharp as a knife, as if she had already decided that she had poisoned Princess Jingyu.
Zhou Jingrong was stunned: "How can the eldest princess be sure that Princess Jingyu's Yuhuashuang has not been touched by others?" ”
The eldest princess said impatiently: "She has always carried it with her, how can others have a chance to do it?" ”
Zhou Jingrong didn't agree with this, but she didn't dwell on this issue, and said: "Princess Jingyu bought all the inventory in my store and placed a large number of orders, she is my God of Wealth, I can't provide for her, how can I harm her?" ”
The eldest princess was slightly stunned, obviously also suspicious of Zhou Jingrong's motives.
Zhou Jingrong was about to continue, and after Princess Jingyu woke up, he should ask her about the party.
At this time, Ling Guifei opened her mouth faintly: "Mrs. Fu didn't mean to poison the princess, it's just that this Yuhuashuang itself has a problem, right?" After all, there were palace concubines who had used Yuhua Frost before, and then they were aborted! ”
"Concubine Ling!" Zhou Jingrong was greatly annoyed when she listened to Ling Guifei's provocative words, suddenly raised her voice, and warned sharply: "Ling Guifei, please be cautious, the previous mother's miscarriage was framed by another concubine, and it has nothing to do with Yuhuashuang. The case has been investigated and closed, and the concubine should not splash dirty water at will. Princess Jingyu was poisoned in the palace of the Xia Dynasty, this matter is related to the diplomatic relations between the two countries, and the matter is serious. ”
Ling Guifei, who has always been domineering, was scolded by Zhou Jingrong regardless of her face, but she didn't have a seizure, but looked delicate, glanced at the eldest princess aggrievedly, and muttered: "At that time, the palace was still grounded in the palace by His Majesty, how do you know how the queen mother decides, naturally you can do whatever you say......"
Zhou Jingrong was angry, she didn't know anything, so she could talk nonsense casually?
The eldest princess naturally believes in Ling Guifei more, after all, she has a high status and is the emperor's concubine, which is even more convincing.
The eldest princess said angrily to Zhou Jingrong: "What a sharp-toothed woman, it seems that you are unwilling to admit your guilt!" Then let you taste the interrogation methods of my Lanqiang Kingdom, and see how long you can still be hard-mouthed! ”
As soon as the eldest princess gave an order, the maids of Lanqiang Kingdom stepped forward and grabbed Zhou Jingrong together.
These Lanqiang women have been with the wind and sand all the year round, with a rough personality and great strength, Zhou Jingrong couldn't break free at all, and was directly pressed to the ground by them.
Zhou Jingrong didn't expect that the eldest princess of Lanqiang Kingdom would be so strong that she dared to lynch the families of Xia Dynasty officials directly in the palace of the Xia Dynasty!
Zhou Jingrong shouted: "Eldest princess, this is the Xia Dynasty, even if you suspect me, you should report it to Your Majesty, and your Majesty will decide, you have no right to interrogate me privately!" ”
The eldest princess couldn't listen to Zhou Jingrong's advice at all, she only felt that she was cunning and wanted to shirk the blame, so she was even more annoyed, and ordered: "Do it!" ”
A maid took out an extremely thin but extremely long silver needle from her sleeve and wanted to pierce Zhou Jingrong's face.
Zhou Jingrong was shocked, her heart was dead, she knew that she was going to go through such an experience, just outside Biquan Palace, she didn't let Fu Yunshen go first.
She subconsciously shouted: "Fu Yunshen! ”
In the next second, she felt her shackled body loosen, and then she was wrapped in a warm embrace, and a low voice that tried to restrain anger and trembling sounded in her ears: "Don't be afraid, I'm here." ”
Zhou Jingrong suddenly opened her eyes and saw that the person holding her was Fu Yunshen, and couldn't help crying with joy, staring at a pair of misty eyes and complaining aggrievedly: "Fu Yunshen, I almost died just now!" ”
Fu Yunshen's eyes swept over the people present one by one, and said viciously word by word: "Don't worry, if anyone dares to touch a single hair of yours, I will pay it back a thousand times!" ”
The eldest princess was very angry when Fu Yunshen was so disturbed, and she was about to speak, but was interrupted by another shrill voice.
"Stop!"
One step behind Fu Yunshen came the big eunuch beside the emperor, he trotted in all the way out of breath, and sang loudly: "The emperor has arrived!" The queen has arrived! ”
Subsequently, the emperor and queen came together, and a room of people bowed together.
The emperor's face was expressionless, and he couldn't see his joy or anger, but his momentum was majestic, and he was not angry and arrogant.
He glanced around and saw that Zhou Jingrong's hair bun was slightly scattered, obviously pulled by someone, and his face was slightly pale.
The queen glanced at the eldest princess lightly, but said to Ling Guifei: "Ling Guifei, the fifth princess was poisoned in the palace, why didn't you report such a major matter?" This matter should be judged by His Majesty, find out the real culprit and deal with it, and give an explanation to Lanqiang Kingdom! But you interrogated and tortured yourself without any evidence, it's just nonsense! ”
The eldest princess knew that the queen was using Ling Guifei to beat her, and said unconvinced: "Queen Mother, this matter has nothing to do with the concubine, it was the envoy who asked the concubine to bring the prisoner to me for disposal." ”
The queen frowned slightly, and was about to speak, but she heard the emperor say lightly: "Princess Lingji, you have exceeded the rules." ”
