Chapter 206: The Death of the Palace Maid
οΌ
The Queen Mother frowned: "Why are you too ostentatious?" β
Hearing this, the Queen Mother felt that something was wrong.
Xie Qing couldn't help but look at Yun Jin, everyone said that she did things unexpectedly, but it was actually Yun Jin who really did this, okay? Yun Jin is using the hand of the Queen Mother to avenge her.
Yun Jin explained: "Although Yun Jin does not go out of the court, he bears the title of the prince of the palace, and he will inherit the Zhennan palace in the future, which will inevitably cause some people to be jealous, but Yun Jin did not hide his thoughts about Qingqing, and some people want to attack Qingqing, in fact, the fundamental reason is because of me." β
Xie Qing's eyebrows raised slightly, in fact, Yun Jin's logic was not strict, but her eyes fell on the Queen Mother, and she understood.
"Bastard thing!" The Queen Mother slapped the table suddenly, "Who is so bold that he dares to move Jin'er!" β
Since the Queen Mother knew that Xie Qing knew how to heal, she thought that Xie Qing could help Yun Jin heal. Whether the logic of Yun Jin's speech was rigorous, the Queen Mother didn't notice it, her point was that someone wanted to return Xie Qing, which meant that someone wanted to destroy someone who could treat Yun Jin, so this person was going to Yun Jin, and someone didn't want Yun Jin's illness to be cured.
How can this be?
The Queen Mother can't wait to find out the person immediately, and then kill to vent her anger!
"Jin'er, Qing'er, don't worry, this matter is handed over to the mourning family, the mourning family wants to see who is so bold and dares to harm Jin'er, and the mourning family will not tear his skin!"
At that moment, the Queen Mother ordered someone to find out Yinhuan, "Call Concubine Xie Shu over, and the queen, all call over!" β
Xie Qing winked at Yun Jin, and had to say that although she felt that this Queen Mother was very naΓ―ve, she did love Yun Jin. She is still really stained with the light of Yunjin.
Kunning Palace
Empress Chen first received the Empress Dowager's decree, gave Xie Qing the title of the lord of Jiamin, and gave her the marriage of Yunjin, only to feel panicked, Xie Qing did not die, and successfully became the princess of Zhennan Wang.
What should her daughter-in-law do......
"Quick, go and call Yuan'er back. Don't let anyone talk about it in her ear. "Empress Chen promised Emperor Yongqing to kill Xie Qing, and this matter was hidden from Princess Lin'an, so she arranged Princess Lin'an out of the palace early.
But now that the Queen Mother has made a decree and told the world, if Princess Lin'an hears the news, what will happen, Queen Chen can't imagine.
Not only Princess Lin'an, but Queen Chen also has to worry about something else, Xie Qing is not dead, then the matter that she was almost burned to death will surface, and it will inevitably be suspected of her at that time.
"Can't panic, can't panic......" Queen Chen kept saying to herself, now is not the time to panic, she has already made arrangements, Yin Huan is not her person, those two subordinates must have been out of the palace at this time, and no one will track it down.
Before the queen could catch her breath, someone from the palace immediately came up to tell her that the queen mother was invited.
Empress Chen pinched her fingers tightly, tried her best to maintain her composure on her face, and instructed the palace people: "You go back to the Queen Mother first, and the palace will go over." β
And when Concubine Xie Shu of Yaohua Palace received the news, she was directly stunned.
"What did the Queen Mother call this palace to do?" Concubine Xie asked.
The eunuch passed the word, only saying that the Queen Mother was invited, but he didn't say anything about Xie Qing being almost burned to death.
"Concubine Shuniang, the slave only obeys the instructions of the Queen Mother, and the slave doesn't know what the specific thing is." The eunuch replied with a smile.
Concubine Xie Shufei frowned slightly, thought about it, she had never offended the Queen Mother, there should be nothing to do, and said with a smile: "Is Xie Qing, the niece of this palace, in the Queen Mother's palace?" β
The eunuch hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded: "Yes." β
Concubine Xie raised her lips and smiled: "Qing'er is so blessed, let's go, this palace has not been to the Queen Mother for a long time." β
Is it a blessing? She originally wanted to kill Xie Qing, who called her death useful? Who knew that she really fell into Yun Jin's eyes, Yun Jin protected her, it's just that, if you don't die, you won't die, death has the benefit of dying, and there is value of not dying.
Xie Qing, Xie Qing, your use value is so great, if this palace doesn't make good use of it, how can it be worthy of you!
β¦β¦
Shou'an Palace
As soon as Concubine Xie Shu walked to the door, she saw Queen Chen also coming over from a distance, and she was a little surprised, and stepped forward to greet Queen Chen: "The concubine is the queen mother." β
"What? The queen mother was also called by the Queen Mother? Concubine Xie asked with raised eyebrows.
Empress Chen nodded: "Yes, I think it's for the sake of Lord Jiamin." β
"Lord Jiamin?" Concubine Xie Shu was stunned for a while, and then she remembered that the county lord of Jiamin was not her niece Xie Qing. She was just named the lord of Jiamin County today, and she almost didn't react.
"That's not right......" Concubine Xie Shufei frowned slightly, if the Queen Mother asked her to talk to Xie Qing or something, then why did she summon Empress Chen? Empress Chen has nothing to do with Xie Qing and Yun Jin.
Concubine Xie asked in a low voice, "But what happened?" β
She didn't know anything, and she was inevitably a little flustered.
Between Concubine Xie Shu and Empress Chen, except for the last assassination of Princess Lin'an, Empress Chen lost the face of Concubine Xie Shu at the rally, and they were quite harmonious at other times, so she couldn't help but ask.
Empress Chen frowned slightly: "Doesn't Concubine Shu know?" β
"What should the concubine know?" Concubine Xie Shu was stunned, her brows furrowed more and more, could she be calculated by someone, right?
Empress Chen frowned and said, "Didn't someone from your palace come to spread the word that you want to see Lord Jiamin?" β
"Nope." Concubine Xie Shu's heart was shocked, "The palace doesn't know that Qing'er is coming to the palace, how can she call someone to pass the word?" β
Xie Qing is afraid that something has happened. Concubine Xie Shu's eyebrows widened, she must have been calculated.
"Mo Lan, go and check, which palace maid is it!" Concubine Xie Shu immediately commanded.
Empress Chen persuaded: "Concubine Shu, don't worry about it first, the Queen Mother summons, let's go and see the Queen Mother first." β
Concubine Xie Shu nodded, pouted and said, "I don't know who did it, but in the name of this palace!" β
The two entered Shou'an Palace together, and as soon as they entered the door, they saw the Queen Mother sitting on a high seat, with Yun Jin and Xie Qing sitting next to her, and the Queen Mother was smiling and talking to the two.
Concubine Xie Shufei raised her eyebrows slightly, it stands to reason that Xie Qing has run out of the Hou Mansion, she is no longer an official lady, just a commoner, how much does the Queen Mother love Yun Jin, even if she knows that Xie Qing and Yun Jin are not in the right household, she still agreed to the marriage of the two, and in order to give Xie Qing a long face, she also found a random name and named her the county lord.
Concubine Xie Shufei had to re-evaluate Xie Qing's value, maybe Xie Qing's use value was higher than she imagined.
"The concubine greets the Queen Mother." Empress Chen and Concubine Xie hurriedly saluted the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother waved her hand: "Flat." β
Then he commanded the palace people, "Bring the people up." β
The Queen Mother kept an eye on her, and while her family went to invite Empress Chen and Concubine Xie Shu over, she quietly ordered someone to arrest Yin Huan.
After a while, I saw the palace people bring Yin Huan up and kneel on the ground.
"Concubine Shu, do you see clearly, this is someone from your palace?" The Queen Mother pointed at Yin Huan and asked in a deep voice.
As soon as Yin Huan was brought in, Concubine Xie Shu was already searching in her mind for who this palace maid was.
Concubine Xie Shu blessed her body and replied, "This is the second-class palace maid in the concubine's palace, named Yin Huan." β
The Queen Mother said coldly: "This palace maid said that she was ordered by you to invite Qing'er, and said that she wanted to see Qing'er." But she actually led Qing'er to Qingyin Pavilion, knocked Qing'er unconscious, and wanted to burn her. β
Concubine Xie Shu hurriedly knelt on the ground and explained: "Queen Mother, the concubines don't know that Qing'er has entered the palace, how can they send someone to invite her over?" β
He said to Xie Qing again: "Qing'er, this palace is your aunt, how could she burn you?" β
In fact, the Queen Mother did not suspect Concubine Xie Shu, Xie Qing is Concubine Xie Shufei's niece, and the aunt and nephew have not heard of any discord or anything like that, how could Concubine Xie do it to her niece?
Xie Qing replied: "Niangniang, Qing'er naturally believes that you won't burn Qing'er." "Concubine Xie Shu is not so stupid, although she does want to kill her, but it is also secret, by no means in such an obvious way.
The Queen Mother Zhengse said: "Concubine Shu, but Yin Huan is a person in your palace, if you want to defend yourself, find out the evidence." β
Even from the bottom of her heart, the Queen Mother didn't believe that Concubine Xie did it, but on the surface, she could ask Concubine Xie Shufei to prove her innocence.
Concubine Xie Shu said to the Queen Mother: "Then please allow the Queen Mother to interrogate her." β
The Queen Mother nodded: "Whatever you want." β
Concubine Xie Shu looked at Yin Huan coldly: "Did the palace ask you to invite Qing'er over?" β
Yin Huan's neck shrank: "Yes...... Yes, mother, you commanded it. β
"When did Hongu order it?" Concubine Xie Shu's eyes were slightly cold, and she scolded the person who calculated her thousands of times in her heart.
"Just an hour ago." Yin Huan replied in a low voice.
Concubine Xie Shu laughed angrily: "An hour ago, the people in this palace were not in Yaohua Palace, how could they order you to invite Qing'er over?" β
Xie Qing couldn't help but hold his forehead, and said lightly: "Niangniang, this palace maid walked on the road and met Qing'er and said that Niangniang is in the imperial garden, so let Qing'er go to Qingyin Pavilion to see you." β
Concubine Xie Shufei wanted to use the time and place to exonerate herself, but she ignored it, from beginning to end, Yin Huan did not say that she would take Xie Qing to Yaohua Palace.
This is Concubine Xie Shu's omission, the omission between words.
Concubine Xie Shu's face suddenly became very ugly, her fingers clenched tightly, and she scolded Yin Huan coldly: "Nonsense! This palace has never commanded, why do you want to frame this palace? β
Yin Huan opened a pair of innocent eyes and said, "It was you who ordered it, Niangniang." β
Concubine Xie Shu was so angry that she almost burst into smoke, settled her mind, and said, "Qubble!" You are just a second-class palace maid in Yaohua Palace, and you don't serve by the side of the palace on weekdays, and the palace maids and eunuchs around the palace can prove that the palace has never said such a thing to you. β
"The people around Niangniang are naturally speaking for Niangniang." Yin Huan seemed to muttered quietly, but in fact, the sound could just reach the ears of everyone present.
"Queen Mother, this palace maid is talking nonsense, if she is not punished, she will never tell the truth!" Concubine Xie Shu was angry and asked the Queen Mother to be punished.
Yin Huan's face turned pale: "No......"
The corners of Concubine Xie Shufei's lips hooked slightly, and in the face of heavy punishment, I saw if you were telling the truth, but before the Queen Mother could speak, the next moment, Yin Huan had already tilted her head, her body fell, and then blood flowed from the corners of her mouth......
