The so-called stealing mentioned by Yi Xiangxiang was to send a light master to Chongren Palace to sabotage, and the intention was naturally to confirm the blessing statement mentioned before.

So in the past few days, Chongren Palace began to lose things.

It's obviously a set of teacups, but somehow it's missing one......

The vase that had been placed on the table suddenly cracked in front of everyone's eyes......

There are even little palace maids who hear the woman's cry in the middle of the night......

In short, one is more unbelievable than the other.

Lin Zhimeng didn't think it was strange at first, when she lost the teacup, she thought that it should be the palace maids who accidentally broke it and didn't dare to admit it, so she quietly disposed of the pieces.

She didn't think it was strange when someone heard the crying, after all, there were also oppressed palace maids in the palace, and it was not a big deal to vent and cry at night.

Until one day, the first few concubines in the palace gathered to talk to her, everyone talked about needlework and jewelry, and a Yuanji blue glazed white dragon pattern plum bottle placed on the table was inexplicably cracked in public. It wasn't until then that she felt that someone was doing something behind her back.

The Yuanji blue glazed white dragon pattern plum vase was given to her by Yi Xiangxiang, the queen's mother, during the palace banquet last year.

There are many tricks in the palace to frame or poison and murder, Lin Zhimeng has always been cautious, and after she was rewarded by the queen to move things back, she repeatedly checked that there was no problem before placing them on the table.

Now the good thing suddenly cracked, and this thing was still a gift from the queen, so it aroused a lot of discussions.

Lin Zhimeng felt that her head was big.

Chongren Palace was soothing incense, and Lin Zhimeng leaned on the chaise longue and rubbed her temples.

Xiangqiao walked in with a plate of almond cakes, and after seeing Lin Zhimeng's movements, she hurriedly put down the tray in her hand and asked, "Niangniang, but you have a headache again?" The slave maid will go and give you the imperial doctor. ”

After she finished speaking, she turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by Lin Zhimeng.

"No, it's just a little tired." Lin Zhimeng yawned slightly and explained.

Xiangqiao breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, turned around and took out the white jade plate containing the pastries from the tray: "If the mother is tired, go and rest, but the Changchun Palace never cares about the rule that you can't lie down during the day, and you lie down all day." ”

She said this pun, that is, Yi Xiangxiang at the beginning, and An Concubine now.

Lin Zhimeng stood up and stretched her waist: "But she also attracted a lot of gossip, such as aren't you criticizing her now?" ”

Xiangqiao felt that it was the same, so she didn't continue to persuade on this matter, she put down the pastry and gave Lin Zhimeng another tea: "Yesterday, the vase was cracked, and the slave maid had already asked people to send the pieces to the master." However, the craftsmen in the palace have not found out what the reason is, and presumably there will be no results from the master. ”

"Well, I know, let's use a dead horse as a live horse doctor first, what do you say out there now?" Lin Zhimeng sat down again and asked while drinking tea.

Xiangqiao picked up the tray and straightened up: "Hmph, it's not that set of remarks?" said that Yi Xiangxiang's ghost came back to find fault. It's also strange to say, why other vases don't crack, but the one she sent is cracked! ”

Lin Zhimeng smiled: "I just wanted to praise you for becoming smarter, why did you start to be stupid again?" If it's something else, then you can't make a fuss. ”

Didn't the person behind it just want to really press the queen's affairs on her head, although it was indeed her who did it, but the other party was so urgent, which made her a little strange.

Lin Zhimeng sensed a different kind of determination from this urgency.

Xiangqiao was a little embarrassed when she heard this, but she still said, "Niangniang, did you notice that someone else approached the vase yesterday?" Or was it someone who was there yesterday who did something? ”

Under Chongren Palace, there are Fengyi Building, Dai Yan Garden, Su Ji Zhai, Ying Yun Xuan, Yi You Hall, Yi Miao Pavilion, Yunxian Pavilion, and there are some concubines, Jieyu, beauties and so on. For example, Tian Yao lives in Yingyun Xuan, and Lin Zhixin lives in Yimiao Pavilion.

Yesterday, these concubines who lived in Chongren Palace and were under the jurisdiction of Lin Zhimeng, the lord of the first palace, came to the main hall of Chongren Palace to greet Lin Zhimeng. In order to show her intimacy, Lin Zhimeng invited everyone to the inner hall to speak, which allowed them to witness the scene of the good vase cracking.

Lin Zhimeng shook her head: "There were a lot of people who came yesterday, and everyone had the opportunity to get close to the vase, but if you want to leave no traces, it is a little difficult." ”

She paused for a moment and continued, "Unless she knows martial arts, she will shatter the vase with internal strength." But then you have to get close to the vase, or even hold the vase? ”

Xiangqiao didn't know what internal strength was, and she couldn't answer Lin Zhimeng's question, so she said, "The slave asked Luo Ge to investigate?" ”

Luo Ge, the leader of the dead soldiers secretly raised by the Lin family.

Lin Zhimeng shook her head: "There are many people in the palace, and it is difficult to explain if your identity is revealed." Wait, if you really use force, the fragments of the vase should also be able to find some clues. Remember to hand over the phone and tell your father to let Rogo inspect the vase. ”

In fact, this time Lin Zhimeng missed the opportunity to get close to the truth because she was too cautious, and there was no evidence left on the vase, and the evidence was left in the house.

Since Yi Xiangxiang is ready to pretend to be a ghost, she is naturally cautious enough. The vase is indeed shaken open by internal strength, but the force point is not on the vase, but on the table.

If someone with a discerning eye who knows kung fu comes to check it, they will check and find a slight palm print in the corner of the table, which is now being suppressed by the thick book.

Xiangqiao nodded when she heard this, and responded to Lin Zhimeng's words.

Lin Zhimeng was still a little uneasy, and after a long time, she raised her head and asked, "You call all the palace maids who heard the crying to the main hall for questioning in the afternoon, I want to see what is going on." ”

Xiangqiao weighed again.

In the Chongren Palace, the atmosphere is rigorous and solemn, but in the corner of the Imperial Garden, it is indeed quite lively.

Several palace maids in green clothes and pink jackets gathered together, chattering about what they had seen and heard recently.

The little palace maid in pink gossiped: "It turns out that Anmei people have fox smell?" No wonder the Holy One never asked her to sleep! ”

"Wouldn't it? If there is a fox smell, how can you pass the draft and enter the palace? The little palace maid next to her asked.

The little palace maid on the opposite side said excitedly when she heard this: "Hey, I know this, I heard that when she entered the palace, she deliberately hung a fragrant spice on her body, and then she covered it." ”

When a green-clothed palace maid who looked older and older heard this, she didn't believe it, so she only heard her say: "Even though the spices of Yipinxiang are good things, the old lady in the palace is not a vegetarian, either An Meiren stuffed silver, or someone slandered An Meiren, so she said behind her back that she had a fox smell, so that she could not accept her kindness." ”

"Anmei people are good-looking, the queen once said that she has the appearance of a beautiful woman, and she is unique and beautiful, I think there are indeed people who don't want Anmei to be favored." A palace maid in a pink coat diagonally opposite the green-clothed jacket answered, and she also had a sophisticated and mature temperament.

The green-clothed palace maid was very proud that her remarks were agreed, but she suddenly lowered her voice and said slightly mysteriously: "Speaking of the queen mother, I thought of one more thing, have you heard?" Yesterday, Xiaowan heard crying again! ”

A little palace maid in a pink jacket next to her put her hand in her sleeve, and answered very excitedly when she heard this: "I heard about it, I heard it, and Xiaowan cried at night." ”

And the other little palace maid directly opposite was a little puzzled: "Who is Xiao Wan?" What crying? ”

The palace maid in the green jacket hated the iron and poked the forehead of the little palace maid opposite: "Cen Er, Cen Er, say that you are wood, you are really wood!" Let me tell you, in the future, you should stay away from the people of Chongren Palace, but don't get contaminated with anything. ”

The little palace maid who was called Cen Er pouted and said aggrievedly: "I really don't know!" Sister Lu Miao, tell me quickly, what's going on? ”

Cen Er walked up to the palace maid in the green jacket and shook her arm coquettishly.

It turned out that the old green-clothed palace maid was called Lu Miao.

Lu Miao said mysteriously: "I'm afraid that if I say it, I will be so scared that you can't sleep at night!" ”

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I have Sister Yuan'er, she will accompany me! Sister Yuan'er, do you say? As she spoke, she reached out to pull the old pink-clothed palace maid opposite.

Yuan'er was obviously attacked by Cen Er's coquettish for a long time, and she was powerless to deal with it, so she just heard her say: "Sister Lu Miao, don't sell it to the little girl, hurry up and talk to her!" ”

In fact, Yuan'er can say it herself, but the people present are older, so they also sell each other a face.

The people in the palace still understand the basic human feelings.

Hearing this, Lu Miao beckoned everyone to gather tighter, and then lowered her voice and said, "It's haunted in Chongren Palace!" Every night there are unjust spirits crying! ”

Cen Er expressed disbelief when she heard this: "My mother said that ghosts and gods are all unfounded remarks, the dead will not harm people, and it is the living who harm people!" ”

If Yi Xiangxiang is here, she will definitely praise Cen Er a lot. It's so difficult to find someone who is not feudal and superstitious in this ancient dynasty!

Lu Miao snorted, and she raised her hand again and poked Cen Er's head: "What do you know!" That's not an ordinary dead person, it's said that it's the ghost of the queen mother, who came back to take revenge! ”

As she spoke, she said all the words that Concubine An said at the birthday banquet of Concubine Kang Lingkang.

"Is that really the case?" Cen Er asked suspiciously again.

Lu Miao replied: "Let's not say whether Concubine An's words are true or false, let's just say that what has happened in Chongren Palace in the past few days, how weird is it?" ”

Yuan'er on the side echoed Lu Miao and said: "It's indeed a little weird, when I was on duty yesterday, I waited to accompany Concubine Li to take a walk in the imperial garden." When passing by Chongren Palace, I found that the plum outside the palace gate had actually fallen off overnight! Concubine Li was so frightened that she ran away, and she didn't dare to look at Chongren Palace! ”

"Concubine Li is from Jizhou, right? Jizhou is very close to Centennial County, maybe Concubine Li also knows about praying for blessings and dying in vain! From this point of view, what Concubine An said is true. Lu Miao had certainty in her eyes.

The concubine in the mouth of the two is Zheng Lier of Jinghua Palace Yihexuan, the daughter of Zheng Biao, the former governor of Jizhou.

Cen Er began to waver a little now: "The female ghost who cried and screamed that night was really the queen's mother?" But didn't the saint say that the queen was recuperating in another garden? ”

Seeing Cen Er's innocent face, Lu Miao said to Yuan'er very helplessly: "You have to look at this girl a little more, don't look back, you don't know how to die!" Then she said bitterly to Cen Er: "If the queen mother is really fine, why don't you go back to the palace to recuperate?" The adults in the hospital are all highly skilled, so why stay outside and gossip? ”

"There is a point in that." Cen Er was easily persuaded: "But ...... In this way, was it really Lin Guifei who killed the queen? ”

Cen Er pinched her chin and thought for a moment, then suddenly raised her voice.

Lu Miao and Yuan'er were so frightened that they hurriedly covered her mouth, and their movements were surprisingly consistent.

Yuan'er's hand took a step slower and covered Lu Miao's hand. So she raised her hand high and patted Cen Er's head fiercely: "My little ancestor, you can be quiet!" I'm going to die! ”

For Cen Er's sudden shouting, everyone was apprehensive. There are people coming and going in the imperial garden, and if any noble person passes by, such a loud noise will definitely be heard, and then I don't know how I will really die.

At this time, the sound of creaking snow was heard in the corner, and it was obvious that someone was walking in their direction. Everyone was shocked on the spot, and they all prayed in their hearts that they would be safe today.

Fortunately, the one who appeared behind the rockery was the little palace maid who was also wearing a pink jacket, and she only heard her say: "Eh, you are all hiding here!" Come with me! Xiao Wan is crazy, all the palace masters are now gathered in Chongren Palace! ”

......

Regarding Xiaowan's madness, the most helpless is the concubine Lin Zhimeng. As soon as she said that she wanted to talk to these palace maids, some people immediately went crazy, and God really didn't want to help her!

Xiao Wan is not a big person, but the concubine Lin of Chongren Palace behind her is an extremely noble existence in the palace. For the palace maids, calling a sentence of Xiaowan is crazy may be shocked and regretful compassion, but for the other palace concubines, all they think of is a joke that can see Lin Zhimeng.

It was only a moment's work in Chongren Palace, and the warblers and swallows were full of people, as if they were going to hold some kind of banquet.

This is the first time that the entire main hall of Chongren Palace is so crowded.

Xiangqiao asked Qiaosui, Suihe and others to entertain the palace concubines, and she retreated to Lin Zhimeng's side to serve her.

"I haven't seen them so active about anything on weekdays, I don't know what happy event I think Chongren Palace will do today!" Xiangqiao complained while adding tea to Lin Zhimeng.

Lin Zhimeng didn't care, she still had a gentle smile on her face, and only heard her say: "The world is like this, there are more people who add fuel to the fire, and there are fewer people who send charcoal in the snow." ”

She's used to it.

After refilling the tea, Xiangqiao asked again: "Then Niangniang, what should we do now?" ”

"It's okay, just do what I say, it's not a big deal." Lin Zhimeng is still calm.

Xiang Qiao heard the words and quietly retreated.

In front of a cup of tea, Xiao Wan, the second-class palace maid of Chongren Palace, was sweeping the side hall. But somehow, she suddenly rushed out of the side hall like crazy, running between the palaces, saying that Concubine Lin killed the queen, and the queen is now back to take revenge.

So there is the current scene, the harem concubines gathered in Chongren Palace. Together with An Concubine Yi Xiangxiang, who was dressed as Liu Fangfei, she was also wrapped in a big fox and sat in it.

Yi Xiangxiang naturally wouldn't miss watching the show, even if she clearly knew that with Lin Zhimeng's means and ability, she would definitely be able to easily break this game, but she still enjoyed this hunting mood very much.

It was extremely cheerful to watch the prey step by step into its trap.

When Yi Xiangxiang was immersed in excitement, Kang Ling was dressed in a luxurious purple palace dress, a belt of the same color held it, and the pleats of the skirt flowed lightly to the ground, more than three feet long. Her gait is light but slightly cheerful, elegant and luxurious with a hint of playfulness. I saw that her dark jade-like green silk was simply curled in a flying fairy bun, her beautiful eyes were overflowing with brilliance, and there was an irrepressible smile between her red lips.

Yi Xiangxiang hadn't paid attention to it before, Kang Ling is still a good beauty! At this time, she felt that Kang Ling had a special contradictory beauty, sometimes like a proud peacock, sometimes like a bright lark.

Kang Ling didn't know that she had become a scenery in the eyes of others, she was the last to come to Chongren Palace, and when she heard the report of the people below, she deliberately went to dress up! God knows, she loves to watch Lin Zhimeng make a fool of herself!

"I'm sorry, I'm late." Kang Ling said to Lin Zhimeng at the top.

She didn't wait for Lin Zhimeng to invite her to sit down, so she walked straight to the first circle chair on the left and sat down steadily.

Lin Zhimeng wanted to say very much, I don't know why Concubine Kang came this time? It's a pity that this clear-eyed person knows what's going on, so it's boring for her to pretend to be stupid! Besides, she didn't want to spend her time arguing with Kang Ling today, because after dealing with this incident, she had to find out what was going on with this Xiaowan.

She didn't want to scare Kangling, but the latter would not let go of the opportunity to fall into the well for her.

"I heard that there is a little palace maid in Chongren Palace, who sued Concubine Lin for plotting to assassinate the queen! Lin Guifei should give everyone an explanation for this, right? "Kang Ling deliberately misinterpreted what happened and raised it to a higher level.

Lin Zhimeng didn't expect that Kang Ling would strike first like this, and the "crime of wanting to add" was unadorned, and it was a little surprising for a while.

However, she quickly came back to her senses: "Concubine Kang misunderstood, it's just a little palace maid talking nonsense, and she can't take it seriously." ”

Kang Ling pretended to be amazed when he heard this: "Yes, how can you talk nonsense?" ”

Although Kang Ling's question just now was too far-fetched, it was obvious that Lin Zhimeng's answer was not very clever. To put it bluntly, it is just a death plan to "plant a false accusation" under an excuse, and a person who is ready to die and not admit it.

Yi Xiangxiang was very relieved to see this, the day she fell into the water a few days ago was Kang Ling watching her and Lin Zhimeng's good show. Now it's okay, feng shui takes turns, and finally it's time for her to watch Kang and Lin fight.

"Maybe spring is coming soon, it's cold and hot today, and I'm infected with the wind chill." Lin Zhimeng picked up the cup on the table and said while drinking tea.

Pei Yuchen laughed when she heard this: "Concubine Lin is really good at laughing, if she is infected with the wind and cold, it is nonsense, then the concubine will not dare to get sick casually next time." ”

and Concubine Pei Yuchen are wearing a snow-colored floor-length dress today, and Hao is wearing a mercury white jade bracelet on his wrist. This jade bracelet looks quite precious, and the little mercury on it is just right; The jade quality is also very good, the whole bracelet is of moderate thickness, and the three dragons are carved on the bracelet very vividly, which can be regarded as a bracelet with excellent jade quality.

Yi Xiangxiang also echoed when she heard this: "What the concubine said is true! After she finished speaking to Pei Yuchen like this, she raised her head and said to Lin Zhimeng: "The concubine got up in the morning, but she just called the imperial doctor to check the pulse, and the imperial doctor said that the concubine still has a little low-grade fever." But now the concubines are very good, and there is no nonsense, right? ”

Yi Xiangxiang, who pretended to be An Concubine, was wearing a pale pink dress today, embroidered with a small tuft of pale pink gardenias, smart and delicate. Her hair was casually tied in a loose bun, and a hairpin flower was inserted obliquely, which was slightly sickly in a bit of casualness, and the delicate beauty that came out of the pink clothes was pressed into a morbid beauty.

It's not that she pretended to be an elephant, and fell into the ice lake shortly after being healed from her serious injuries, and she was really sick.

Lin Zhimeng frowned when she heard this, she didn't like the phenomenon of being attacked by a group recently, and secretly sighed that they were staring at her like jackals.

However, she was still calm, and only listened to her majestic ask: "What does Concubine He and Concubine An mean, do you want to believe the one-sided words of the little palace maid, and think that the palace murdered the queen?" ”

Pei Yuchen said with a smile: "It's still the same sentence, people are doing it, and the sky is watching!" ”

Lin Zhimeng sighed when she heard this: "For this matter, this palace has explained it more than once. If you really think that this palace is doing something behind your back, then come up with evidence. If there is no evidence, don't waste your efforts to pour dirty water on this palace. ”

Yi Xiangxiang also sighed when she heard this, but her meaning was different from Lin Zhimeng, and she only heard her say: "It's not that we suspect Lin Guifei Niangniang, it's just ......"

"Just what?" Lin Zhimeng squinted her eyes and asked.

"It's just strange why everyone doesn't suspect Concubine Kang, Concubine Hui or Concubine Ning, but it's you Concubine Lin? Although the concubine was born in the countryside, she also knew the truth that there is no wind and no waves. Besides, the soul of the queen has come to the door, so you can't help but Lin Guifei, you don't recognize it, right? Yi Xiangxiang pretended to be cautious and said.

Lin Zhi, who was on the side, dreamed that she finally had a chance to interject, and hurriedly scolded: "Concubine An, you don't want to be presumptuous, it's just that you frame your sister again and again!" The ghost thing is nonsense, if the queen's ghost really wants revenge, why just make Xiaowan crazy, instead of directly revenge on her sister? ”

Kang Ling was just about to speak when he heard this, and a shout came from far and near: "Ah, there are ghosts, there are ghosts!" ”
