Chapter 133: Intrigues
"Rong Niang, where have you been, are you okay?"
After Yu Chirou sat down, she found that Lin Shutong was also in the boat, nodded slightly with her, and hurriedly took Zhou Jingrong's hand and asked with concern.
Zhou Jingrong replied: "I'm fine, it was the palace maid who took us to turn left and right, but we couldn't find a place." I felt as if she was stalling for time, weird and weird, and let the wind knock her out. However, we got lost and didn't know where we went, so we didn't return. Fortunately, Fu Yunshen found us, otherwise we don't know how many unjust roads we have to take, the palace is really too big! ”
Zhou Jingrong complained while throwing off her shoes, rubbing her sore feet, and sitting cross-legged, looking unimaged.
Yu Chirou's originally tense mind suddenly relaxed when she saw Zhou Jingrong's lazy and comfortable appearance.
The light boat drove slowly in the moonlight and docked on the other side of the Jade Lake.
As soon as Yu Chirou came ashore, Yulu stepped forward to support her with a white face: "Girl, are you okay?" ”
Seeing that her face was not good, Yu Chirou asked rhetorically, "Are you okay?" ”
Yulu shook her head with difficulty, she was carried by the guards just now, and she thought that she was going to be destroyed by the sinking lake, and she was scared half to death.
Yu Chirou turned around and saw Pei Deyin again, and said in surprise: "Princess? ”
Pei Deyin nodded, glanced around, and said in a deep voice: "When I return to the palace in a while, I will say that the palace will take you out to swim in the lake." ”
Yu Chirou knew in her heart that Pei Deyin was helping her, so she bowed to her: "Thank you, princess." ”
Pei Deyin waved his hand boldly: "What's polite." ”
Wei Chi thanked her softly, and followed Pei Deyin closely, for fear that Pei Heng would catch her and repeat the topic just now.
Pei Heng saw that Yu Chirou ignored him, and turned around to find Fu Yunshen, but saw that the young couple was greasy and crooked, and could only be relatively speechless with Lin Shutong, who was also alone, and was embarrassed.
Fu Yunshen took Zhou Jingrong's hand, interlocked his fingers with her, fell behind everyone, and whispered: "The hall must be very lively now. ”
Zhou Jingrong thought about the danger that Wei Chirou had just faced, and couldn't help but shudder, leaned closer to Fu Yunshen's side, and sighed: "In the past, I was happy for Rou Niang to find her long-lost family, but now it seems that there are many crises in the general's mansion, but I don't know if she is lucky or unfortunate to recognize her relatives. ”
"Happiness and misfortune are all lives she needs to face." Fu Yunshen patted her hand lightly to show comfort.
When the group returned to the hall, the originally lively hall suddenly became audible.
After a short period of embarrassing silence, Fu pushed the cup and changed the lamp, but his voice was much quieter, and the eyes of everyone looking at Wei Chirou were also a little strange.
Mrs. Wei Chi took the lead in coming forward, took Wei Chirou's hand, and said in a slightly reproachful tone: "You kid, didn't you say to change your clothes, why did you go to the side hall to find you but you weren't there?" Where have you been? Your father and I thought something had happened to you, and we were very worried. ”
Mrs. Wei Chi's sincere appearance really looks like a mother who is worried about her daughter, if she didn't specifically emphasize that Yu Chirou is not in the side hall.
Yu Chirou is the queen heroine of the merman legend stage play, and in terms of acting, she has never lost to anyone.
She endured the coldness and hatred in her heart, made a weak and guilty look, and apologized: "It's the daughter who is playful, which makes my father and mother worried." ”
Pei Deyin stepped forward and explained to Mrs. Wei Chi: "Madam, it was the palace that took the eldest girl to the lake, and it was the palace that made the lady worry, but the palace was not thoughtful. However, Madame was indeed too worried, the imperial city was heavily guarded, how could something happen to the eldest girl. ”
Mrs. Wei Chi's face froze, and she suppressed her surprise when she saw Pei Deyin taking the initiative to relieve Wei Chirou, and smiled unnaturally: "What the princess said is that if the courtiers are concerned, it will be chaotic. ”
As soon as Pei Deyin's voice fell, the strange atmosphere in the hall immediately returned to normal.
They just heard that a female dependent went to change clothes, and heard Yu Chirou's maid identify her as having a private meeting with a man in the side hall, looking for the past, but found that the hall was empty, and Yu Chirou did not know where to go.
So everyone speculated, and then looked at Wei Chirou with a strange eye.
But Pei Deyin's quiet explanation dispelled everyone's suspicions.
Yes, this is the palace, under the nose of the Son of Heaven, it is heavily guarded, not to mention that it is impossible for a man to mix into the changing place of the women's relatives, who would be stupid enough to have a private meeting here, that is a big crime to filthy the palace, don't die, right?
The emperor and queen sitting on the top glanced at each other, and the queen understood, and asked in a loud voice: "Deyin, have you been with Miss Wei Chi all the time?" ”
Pei Deyin turned to the queen, and Fuli replied: "Yes, Niangniang knows that the courtier's temperament is the most idle, and when she is playful, she takes the prince's brother to accompany the courtiers out to play." On the way, I happened to meet a few girls, so I took them to accompany the courtiers to the lake to enjoy the moon. ”
The queen mother on the side took over the conversation, and said with a smile: "You leather monkey, you don't say a word when you go out to play, and you kidnap and take away other people's daughters, so that their parents are worried." ”
Pei Deyin pursed her lips slightly, and obediently admitted her mistake: "What the imperial grandmother taught is that her granddaughter is gone." ”
It was the first time for Zhou Jingrong to see Pei Deyin having such a little daughter, and she was surprised.
But the Queen Mother ate this very much, she filled a bowl of hot soup with her own hands, and said with a smile: "Okay, take a seat." But in the end, it's autumn, and you can't run and play when it's more exposed, and bring it to the princess. ”
Pei Deyin drank the hot soup and said happily: "Thank you, Imperial Grandmother!" ”
Several other people also sat down, the sheng music started again, a group of dancing girls left the stage, another group of fish rushed in, and the hall was another feast.
The queen whispered a few words to the palace maid beside her, and the palace maid walked to Mrs. Wei Chi and said in a low voice: "Mrs. Wei Chi, the queen said that the maid who called Ling'er was speechless and deed in the palace, and she should be dealt with according to the palace rules, and the slave maid was ordered to come and get people." ”
Mrs. Wei Chi understood that the queen did not attack in front of people in order to give face to the general's mansion.
Her heart tightened and asked, "Palace rules, how to deal with them?" ”
The color of the palace goddess remained unchanged, and she opened her lips lightly: "Kill with a cane." ”
Hearing these two words, Mrs. Wei Chi breathed a sigh of relief, it was best to kill her directly, and she didn't have to do it.
Otherwise, if the queen has the heart to investigate, she is really worried that Ling'er will not be able to stand the punishment in the palace and confess to her, the mastermind behind the scenes.
But she still didn't feel at ease, so she begged the palace maid, saying that she had a fight with Ling'er's master and servant, and wanted to say goodbye at the end.
The palace maid has no reason not to be, and when Ling'er approached, Mrs. Wei Chi said to her sternly: "Ling'er, you have served by my side for many years, and I transferred you to serve the eldest girl because I trusted you." But you shouldn't have been, and you shouldn't frame the reputation of the eldest girl because of a little personal grudge. Now that you've made a big mistake, you should pay the consequences. However, your old sons and mothers are all old people in the house, and I will treat them well. ”
Ling'er's heart sank, and she understood the meaning of Mrs. Wei Chi's words, but when she thought of her family, she still turned her heart and knelt down and said, "The slave has thanked Mrs. ”
Wei Chirou watched coldly and did not say a word.
The palace maid took Ling'er out to dispose of it, which was not noticeable at this lively palace banquet.
This episode ends here, and no one cares about anything that has nothing to do with them anymore.
After the palace banquet, the emperor and queen accompanied the queen mother to leave, and the hundred officials lined up in turn, and Yu Chirou failed to talk to Zhou Jingrong again.
After leaving the palace and sitting in the carriage back to the house, Zhou Jingrong sighed: "I don't know if General Wei Chi will thoroughly investigate this matter and give Rou Niang justice." ”
Fu Yunshen said: "I didn't seem to see the maid named Ling'er just now. ”
Zhou Jingrong said blankly: "Huh? Where did she go? ”
Fu Yun thought deeply and replied, "I think she may have been secretly disposed of by the queen." ”
Zhou Jingrong's eyes widened: "Disposition? How to dispose of it? ”
Fu Yun didn't care and said, "Let's kill it." ”
Zhou Jingrong was shocked, but she didn't expect the queen to look soft as water, but she was so decisive.
However, she was anxious again: "But, isn't this death without proof, Rou Niang can only eat this dumb loss!" ”
Fu Yunshen said: "Not necessarily, many things, the royal family and nobles may keep it secret for the sake of face, but they will definitely not fail to investigate clearly." Moreover, if this kind of thing happened in the palace, it has seriously violated the royal authority, and the emperor will definitely investigate it thoroughly. ”
Zhou Jingrong said strangely: "Yes, why did they choose to frame Rou Niang in the palace?" ”
Fu Yunshen replied: "On the palace banquet, all the officials are there, which can make Wei Chirou completely ruined, and there is no room for maneuver. ”
Zhou Jingrong asked again: "However, the palace is heavily guarded, how can Mrs. Wei Chi and Wei Chijing, a foreign wife, and a girl who has not left the cabinet, have the ability to reach out to the palace?" Can you buy the palace maid, and can you stuff a man in? ”
Fu Yunshen continued: "That man is the son of Honglu Siqing, and Honglu Siqing is Ling Xie's person. ”
Zhou Jingrong suddenly realized: "Therefore, they dare to act in the palace because they have the power in the palace behind them, that is, Ling Guifei!" But why did Ling Guifei help them? ”
Fu Yunshen reached out and scratched her nose, praised her quick reflexes, and replied with two words: "Buy." ”
Zhou Jingrong thought about it carefully and quickly figured it out.
The prince has a marriage contract with the concubine of the general's mansion, if there is no Wei Chirou, this marriage will fall to Wei Chijing. Ling Guifei helped Yu Chijing take the position, and Yu Chijing became a chess piece that she buried beside the prince.
is so twisted and turned, it really properly describes the four words of intrigue.
Zhou Jingrong's brain hurt when he thought about it, and he hugged Fu Yunshen's arm and sighed: "Hey, a good reunion day, but it was disturbed by some people who are not long-sighted, and it was a disappointment!" ”
Fu Yunshen flicked her smooth forehead, slightly displeased: "With me by your side, do you still feel disappointed?" It's okay, I'll get home in a moment and I'll make sure you have a good time. ”
Zhou Jingrong: "......"
