Chapter 49: No Way

What shocked everyone even more was that many of the secrets that Zhi Wei said in a serious manner next, even the parties involved in it instantly turned white.

Concubine Shu was in a state of confusion, and thought to herself, "How can this know those things?" Obviously, He Baolin, the only one who knows, is dead! Could it be that Er Qiao betrayed me? Or someone else? ”

"That's not right! Even if she inquired about it, He Baolin's confession was not right. I obviously only let her do it to Wen Meiren, and the pill is just a slippery pill, what kind of poison does this have to do with me? ”

"Someone must be trying to hurt me! It's not a virtuous concubine, it's a queen! ”

Concubine Shu knew in her heart that she was following someone else's way, but she couldn't tell the emperor all about what she was thinking, otherwise, wouldn't she be convicted of murdering Wen Meiren?

Her confidence became weaker and weaker, and in the end, she simply rolled her eyes and "fainted".

If His Majesty still has a little pity for her in his heart, he will definitely reveal this matter gently. Just like last time, didn't Your Majesty also punish Wen Meiren for himself?

However, Concubine Shu waited for a long time, but she didn't wait for the familiar and wide warm embrace.

Only Er Qiao rushed over in a panic, shouting Niangniang, and at the same time padded herself under her, obviously afraid that she would fall and knock her stomach.

"Your Majesty, the mother is frail, can you allow the slave maid to go to the imperial doctor first?" Er Qiao said with tears in his eyes.

The emperor didn't speak, bowing slightly.

Concubine Shu noticed that Er Qiao's hand was loosened, and several other palace people hugged her, half-lifted and half-supported her to the soft collapse on the side.

After waiting for a long time, it was the queen who was the first to speak.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Shu's sister looks really pitiful, and she keeps saying that He Baolin framed her. In this case, why don't you let people go to He's house outside the palace to investigate and see if the young sister's family mentioned in He Baolin's letter is true, and then make a decision? ”

Concubine Xian also said: "What the queen said is reasonable, and the concubine seconded it." This matter should be done sooner rather than later, and the truth should be found out as soon as possible, so that the concubine can let the subordinates arrange He Baolin's funeral. If he is guilty, he will naturally be buried according to the non-grade palace person. If they are innocent or coerced...... It has to be decided by His Majesty and the Queen Mother. ”

The emperor called out to Zhao Jiufu in a cold tone, and the latter bowed down and replied.

"Queen Qiyu, Concubine Xian, the slave maid happened to go out of the palace today, about the family affairs of the second girl of the He family, there are indeed rumors in the capital......"

In a few words, he told the adventure of the second girl He who watched people race dragon boats on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival and accidentally fell into the water and was rescued by the little boy next to the Xiao family, and then the words changed and immediately revealed the fact that this little boy Xiao had a marriage contract.

Zhi Wei didn't know about this matter, but he peeked at the emperor's expression, it seemed that he had listened to Zhao Jiufu's report, and he was extremely calm.

She couldn't help but think: "Second Miss He was fished out of the water by a strange son in front of everyone, and her reputation must have been ruined." If Xiao Gongzi refuses to marry her on the pretext that she has a marriage contract, then the girl can only go to the family temple to be a sister-in-law. But I don't know how the Xiao family used this to get hold of the family? Could it be that he forced the second girl to be a concubine? ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Unexpectedly, only a few days later, the girl who had a marriage contract with Xiao Gongzi died suddenly, and the second girl He justifiably married Xiao Gongzi. The day of the marriage seems to be the 14th of May......"

Zhi Wei's heart jumped, and she tried to control herself, not casting a disgusted look at the concubine who was lying on the side.

If He Baolin's accusation is true, the girl who died suddenly was definitely not a natural death, and things can't be so coincidental!

For the sake of a calculation in the palace, can Concubine Shu do whatever she wants and let her family kill an innocent girl?

Not to mention, that girl was originally married to Xiao Gongzi of the Xiao family's side branch, and she could still call Concubine Shu a cousin......

The queen, Concubine Xian and others obviously thought of this, and they couldn't help but look at the "unconscious" concubine.

Concubine Xian was the closest to the soft collapse, and her heart was also fine, and after a while, she found that Concubine Shu's body was trembling slightly, and she laughed in her heart.

"Your Majesty is aware of everything and strategizing, but the concubine looks self-conscious. This matter should have been a harem affair, but His Majesty was so tired that he personally sent someone to investigate, which was a dereliction of duty for the concubine. ”

The queen was happy because her rival Concubine Shu was "skinned", but when she heard this, she was embarrassed, and hurriedly pleaded guilty.

The emperor was silent for a while, as if he was wandering into the world, and only spoke leisurely for a long time.

"There is a way in the world, and the conquest of Lile comes from the Son of Heaven; There is no way in the world, and the conquest of Lile comes from the princes. I thought, the world is so big, the harem naturally can't be the best. Since there are no people and things in my harem, it is naturally my fault. Fortunately, it's not too late to make amends. ”

He waved his hand at the two concubines who were terrified, and threw down another sentence, "Concubine Shu violated the palace rules and punished the palace for thinking about it." He Baolin was buried according to the original grade. ”

After that, he stood up and swaggered away, not to mention giving the concubines with different thoughts a chance to confess again.

The queen chased two steps and shouted "Your Majesty", but she didn't get any response, her face was red and white, and she went away.

The imperial doctor hasn't arrived yet, and because Er Qiao has gone, the rest of the palace people don't care much about this former favorite concubine who seems to be wearing a crime, and they can't even think of putting a thin quilt on her.

The concubine lying on the couch was stiff, and she felt that her hands and feet were cold and her heart was numb.

Is Your Majesty's phrase "the man without the way" talking about himself?

Has he already convicted himself?

There is no time limit to close the palace to think, is this to trap yourself in the Shangyang Palace for a lifetime?

Stimulated by this panicked emotion, Concubine Shu really feels a little uncomfortable in her stomach now.

Concubine Xian smiled slightly: "You too, although it is a June day, but the night is cold, how can you let Concubine Shu lie on the collapse like this?" What if you catch a cold? ”

Lilac said briskly: "Concubine Niangniang's holy family is long, the food in Shangyang Palace is all first-class in the palace, where can the utensils in our Yongle Palace compare?" It's all because the slaves and maids are not good, and they shouldn't be afraid of losing face and don't let them be ugly~"

Concubine Shu didn't bother to pretend anymore, she opened her eyes and got up directly, and said coldly: "Don't bother Concubine Xian, this palace will go back and think about it behind closed doors!" Concubine Xian is busy with palace affairs, and she is rude for a while, and the palace does not care. As the days go by, one report and one report, there will always be a day to see the real chapter! ”

Concubine Xian's smile was even longer: "Then, I'll wait for the day when I see my sister again." ”

When I returned to the vicinity of Qiande Palace, it was already dark outside.

Huo Yanzhi walked for a while, suddenly stopped, and stood there in a daze with his hands in his hands, staying for a whole quarter of an hour without moving, like a sculpture.

Zhao Jiufu waited left and right, feeling that it was not a problem, so he could only step forward.

"Your Majesty, it's late at night, it's time to go back to the palace. It's useless for you to eat, if you hurt yourself, uh......"

He was going to persuade the two Buddhas of the Queen Mother and the Queen as usual, but the situation in the palace has changed rapidly recently, and His Majesty's attitude towards the Queen Mother and the Queen has changed significantly, and he can't say anything when the words come to his mouth.

Sure enough, the emperor ignored him.

Zhao Jiufu grimaced and gave Zhi Wei a very instructive look.

Zhi Wei cleared her throat: "Your Majesty, the fold on your desk is still two feet high, it's time to go back to the palace to approve the fold." If you eat cold wind on a hungry stomach and get sick again, those folds are estimated to be on the line! ”

Zhao Jiufu almost wanted to beat his chest.

How long is this palace maid's brain circuit?

Your Majesty must be in a bad mood now, and he still keeps saying a word, is this a rush to find scolding?

However, the Sculpture Emperor suddenly turned around and glanced at the two of them with a puzzled expressionβ€”at least Zhao Jiufu felt that he was being illuminated by His Majesty's gazeβ€”and then said with some yin and yang weirdness: "You think I am paper paste?" It's cold in June, and you can tell this kind of nonsense! ”

Then, the emperor took the lead and left with the unashamed palace people.

Zhao Jiufu was stunned for a while, and then he was thrown seven or eight steps away, and he couldn't help muttering after following up.

Before today, he didn't know that Zhi Wei had "secretly" checked so many things.

Just when he saw Zhi Wei take out this and that evidence, and then broke out the secret conversation between the palace maid and He Baolin with the most calm expression, but His Majesty was calm and accepted it well, he was shocked to realize that this little palace man had taken root in front of the palace faster and more steadily than him.

The most important thing is that His Majesty actually trusts her so much!

Zhao Jiufu felt a little sour in his heart, if he knew the psychological activities of the queen half an hour ago, maybe he would want to have a cross-class sympathy with her.

Back in Qiande Palace, the emperor looked at his desk, and suddenly said with a straight face: "Who said that there are two feet tall just now?" I see it's less than a foot and a half! ”

Zhi Wei lowered her head and admitted her mistake: "It must be that the slave maid has a bad brain and remembers it wrong." ”

The Emperor then moved to his late supper, satisfied.

Zhao Jiufu watched the interaction between the two, and he had a strange sense of subtlety.

After the meal, Zhiwei finished serving tea, and only the emperor and Zhao Jiufu were left in the entire study, and when the emperor took the initiative to talk, he found some of the most important and unique feelings in the past.

"Zhao Jiufu, you have seen everything today. You say, "Am I doing the right thing?" ”

This question is a bit sharp, but the tone of the person asking the question is very calm, as if he is asking "Zhao Jiufu, do you think this vase pattern is a little ugly".

Zhao Jiufu said cautiously: "Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, and there is naturally nothing wrong with his words. ”

The emperor was dissatisfied: "Are you sloppy with me?" In the palace, the only one I believe in the most and who has been with me the longest is you......"

Zhao Jiufu was infected by the emotions in the young emperor's words, and he also let down a little guard.

"The human and material evidence is there, Your Majesty will deal with it impartially, and the punishment of the lady concubine will naturally not be avoided. However, it is hard to conceive the imperial heir in the concubine Niangniang, and the gentle beauty and the eldest princess are not really poisoned, so they are exempted as appropriate, and only punish the concubine Niangniang for thinking about it in the palace, which is already the emperor's grace. ”

The emperor asked coldly: "So, do you think I am favoritism?" ”

Zhao Jiufu's cold sweat came down again: "How dare the slave and maid have such thoughts, didn't His Majesty let the slave and maid say it directly?" In the end, there was still a trace of grievance.

"Most of the queen also felt that I was favoritism. Otherwise, how could Fang Cai behave like that? ”

Zhao Jiufu tried hard to find a reason for the queen: "Most of the queen's mother was bumped by the bad luck on the blood book, and her heart was unstable......"

The emperor said firmly: "Unstable? You just wait and see, in another ten days and half a month, when her fetus is completely secured, Concubine Xian will stop again. ”

Zhao Jiufu smacked in his heart, and always felt that His Majesty's tone was a little strange, and it was not just for the queen.

The emperor was a little distracted, so he stopped talking, and went to work at his desk.

The jumping candlelight blackened his youthful face, outlining the stiff and straight shoulder line, gilding it with a layer of gold, but it could not add a little warmth to him.

Shangyang Palace and Concubine Shu, whose palace gate was sealed, soon became the number one gossip object in the harem, and as for the second gossip object, it was naturally Wu Cairen, who came back from the cold palace less than half a month after being beaten into the cold palace.

"I didn't expect you to find so many things in such a short period of time! Even when the most difficult to talk to, Wu Cairen, came over, he specially told me about you. Looks like you didn't just come here to visit me, did you? Wen Mei and Zhiwei became more and more familiar, and even teased her.

Zhi Wei changed the topic without blushing and heartbeat: "The little master is much better now, presumably the reward that the slave maid brought to His Majesty 'by the way' is very effective?" ”

Wen Meiren nodded with a smile, and shook her head again: "Things are naturally good things, but heart disease is not as good as heart medicine." I want to open it now, and I'm not as restrained as before, so I'm naturally getting better. ”

Zhi Wei didn't understand her mental changes very well, and she didn't ask obediently, and the two always maintained a delicate relationship that was not like a master and servant, and not like a friend.

Before leaving, Wen Meiren said something to her without saying anything.

"You do things for Your Majesty, so naturally you should put Your Majesty first in everything. However, the mantis arm can't be used as a car, this time, the one fell behind, but she has too much favor, and it is not impossible for the mother to turn over again in the future. You still have to plan more for yourself. ”

Zhi Wei thought about it, thanked her seriously, and truthfully said her plan to leave the palace.

"The little lord really thinks about me, and I can't hide it from you. Not to mention whether that person is really rejected by His Majesty, as long as there are two other mothers, it is probably impossible for that person to come out and walk around before giving birth. However, even if the eldest son of the emperor really gave birth to her, with the constraints of those two, most of them will not be able to make any waves in a year and a half. I'm a small palace person, I have nothing to worry about, I have nothing to worry about, at most I can't hide in the Qiande Palace and don't come out. It's you, the little master, you should take care of yourself to ......"
