Chapter 151: Mystery (2)
Murong Qiao twisted his eyebrows fiercely, his eyes were scorching, with an unyielding momentum.
This palace is full of people, everyone can be suspicious of her, but the emperor can't!
Zhou Shixian pursed his lips, his face slowly stagnated, and after a moment of silence, he said softly: "I don't want to doubt you, but Li Jieyu is sure that it is you, and I can't help but ask......"
That's a good reason indeed.
Murong Qiao sneered in his heart, and then said: "Li Jieyu's child is gone, and the concubine is also heartbroken. However, the concubine has a clear conscience, and if she hasn't done it, she hasn't done it. If the emperor only believes in Li Jieyu and does not believe in the concubine, then no matter how the concubine explains, it will be in vain...... After all, what is the problem of wanting to add sin? ”
The Queen Mother raised her eyebrows when she heard this, only to feel that her temper was really stubborn, and when she was so desperate, she couldn't even say a soft word...... However, if you think about it carefully, the more Concubine Ning is neither humble nor arrogant, the more it shows that there is no ghost in her heart, so she can be so fearless and say whatever she wants.
"Your Majesty, the mourning family feels that Li Jieyu's miscarriage is not as simple as it seems on the surface. As Concubine Fang Cai Ning said, a month ago, when Li Jieyu and all the concubines went to Xiangguo Temple to pray for blessings, the imperial doctors also said that her fetal gas was stable and everything was fine. After returning to the palace, there was nothing abnormal in her body. Those musk and saffron pollen are the most taboo things in the palace. Li Jieyu knew that she was pregnant, why didn't she notice it at all? She didn't notice it, and the slave maid next to her didn't notice it? It's a little weird...... When something like this happens, no one feels good in their hearts. However, the facts still have to be investigated, don't wronged Concubine Ning in vain, she has been with the emperor for so many years, and she has no credit and hard work. ”
The Queen Mother slowly said her thoughts, Zhou Shixian frowned and pondered, the secret that had been hidden in his heart for a long time was suddenly moved, making his back tense slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "Queen Mother, according to what you mean, Li Jieyu deliberately had a miscarriage in order to frame Concubine Ning?" ”
What kind of stupid woman would use such a stupid method. If you destroy yourself, you can't hurt anyone!
"The mourning family doesn't mean this, the mourning family feels that behind the matter, there must be another hidden secret, and it will never be as simple as it seems on the surface."
Li Jieyu is right for Concubine Ning, but this "bitter meat trick" is really strange. The child is gone, and the evidence can't be found, just based on her words of red mouth and white teeth, even if she makes trouble in front of the emperor, there is no evidence, and Concubine Ning will not be able to cure any of her crimes. Why is she suffering?
Murong Qiao clenched her palms slightly, her eyes kept staring at Zhou Shixian, she knew that he would not dare to look at her, and he felt ashamed.
"Since the queen mother said so, I don't want to wronged Concubine Ning. However, before the matter is clarified, Concubine Ning will be grounded in Zhaohua Palace, and the palace people around her will not leave the palace without permission, and wait until the Internal Affairs Office finds out the truth. ”
Murong Qiao's body shook slightly when he heard this, and he said softly: "The emperor wants his concubines to be grounded......
Zhou Shixian lowered his eyes slightly, deliberately not looking at her injured expression, and only said: "I don't want to do this, this is just an expedient measure, and when all the truth is revealed, I will give you an explanation." ”
Hand over...... When Murong Qiao heard this, the corners of his mouth curved into a cold arc, "It seems that the emperor is still suspicious of his concubines......"
She smiled suddenly, and her smile was very cold.
Zhou Shixian couldn't sit still, and suddenly stood up and said, "That's how it works." I still want to go see Li Jieyu......" After saying this, he threw away his sleeves and left, without any nostalgia.
Murong Qiao was stunned for a moment, then turned around, looked at Zhou Shixian's ruthless back, and bowed: "The concubine respectfully sends the emperor." ”
The Queen Mother looked at her stiff and motionless body, and couldn't help but sigh: "Don't complain about the emperor, he doesn't have a child of his own, and he is sad to be like this." ”
When Murong Qiao heard this, he slowly turned around again: "The concubine knew that the Long Live Lord felt uncomfortable, but the concubine didn't expect that he would not believe the concubine...... Mother, you know...... How many things have the concubines done for the emperor......"
Speaking of this, Murong Qiao's emotions were finally a little irrepressible, and his eyes were slightly red.
The Queen Mother comforted her and said: "The mourning family knows, and the mourning family knows." However, those old things, even if they are not mentioned, they are only extraneous branches. ”
She wanted to speak a little and stopped, Murong Qiao also knew in her heart that she couldn't mention the things of the past, so she had to nod silently and nod the corner of her eyes with the handkerchief in her hand.
Zhou Shixian hurriedly left Cining Palace, not noticing Meng Xilan, who was kneeling beside him.
Meng Xilan has been standing outside the hall, and she has heard everything she should have heard and what she shouldn't have heard.
Between the Queen Mother and Concubine Ning, there was a conversation between wanting to speak and stopping, which made Meng Xilan pay special attention in her heart.
What happened back then...... What's the matter?
The fact that Murong Qiao was grounded in Zhaohua Palace caused a lot of commotion in the palace, some people gloated, some people were panicked, and the happiest person among them,
The Queen Mother had a headache because of this, and the Internal Affairs Office checked and checked, but she couldn't find any important clues. And the palace maids and eunuchs of Qixia Palace have been tried and punished, and they have either been beaten half to death, or they are so frightened that they have no soul, and they can't ask anything at all.
Qixia Palace can't find any clues, and Zhaohua Palace, no one dares to act rashly.
The people who are on errands in the palace are best at judging the situation and acting according to the eyes of the master anytime and anywhere.
Li Jieyu's miscarriage really made Concubine Ning unlucky, but in the end, she is still a concubine and the biological mother of Prince Xian, no one in the palace dares to snub her, and no one outside the palace dares to criticize her.
Zhou Youlin heard that his mother was wronged, and he naturally couldn't swallow this breath in his heart, and he personally entered the palace to plead for his mother, but unfortunately, Zhou Shixian did not summon him, and he did not even go to court for three days.
Zhou Youlin saw that his father didn't see him, so he deliberately knelt outside the Heart Cultivation Palace, and when the crown prince Zhou Youping saw it, he smiled sarcastically: "Fourth brother, when did you learn the bitter meat trick?" ”
Zhou Youlin didn't look at him, and he didn't have the heart to meet him in general.
Zhou Youping sneered again: "Concubine Ning really raised a good son, but fourth brother, do you really believe that your mother is innocent?" ”
When Zhou Youlin heard this, the anger in his heart burned, and he stood up and said, "What do you mean?" ”
"It's not interesting, I just remembered an old thing, that is, the one in the Changqing Palace...... Forget it, don't mention it, anyway, you and I both understand that the human life in Concubine Ning's hands is more than this. He deliberately wanted to speak and stopped, which made Zhou Youlin hate to rush up directly and beat him up directly.
After Zhou Youping finished speaking, he walked away, leaving Zhou Youlin alone to stand outside the Heart Cultivation Palace, frowning deeply and clenching his fists.
When the Queen Mother heard that Zhou Youlin had been kneeling outside the Heart Cultivation Hall for more than an hour, she couldn't help but feel distressed: "How old is he, why is he still so childish!" ”
Meng Xilan was beating the Queen Mother's shoulder, and when she heard this, she didn't feel her eyebrows move slightly.
"Lan'er." Suddenly, the Queen Mother called her softly.
Meng Xilan was slightly stunned, and hurriedly said, "What does the queen mother command?" ”
"What do you think of Li Jieyu's matter?" The Queen Mother asked lightly.
"This ...... Li Jieyu is indeed a little pitiful, but the child in her womb is even more pitiful......" Meng Xilan replied lightly, I don't know what the Queen Mother meant?
The Queen Mother sighed slightly: "Then do you think the person who harmed her is Concubine Ning?" ”
Meng Xilan stopped with her hand, hurriedly came to the Queen Mother, knelt down and said, "Queen Mother, the sons dare not speak falsely about Concubine Ning. However, there is a reason for the incident, and presumably, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will soon be able to find out the reason. ”
The Queen Mother slowly stretched out her hand: "Good and dignified, what are you doing when you kneel, you are still kneeling so hard, and you are not afraid of knee pain." The mourning family asked you this because you have always been smart and careful, and you can see things clearly. ”
In the past two days, there has been a lot of uproar in the palace because of Li Jieyu's matter. She was right next to her, watching and listening, how could she not have any thoughts in her heart?
Meng Xilan bit her lower lip slightly: "To be honest, Erchen is not very familiar with Li Jieyu Niangniang, but I have only met a few times occasionally, and I think she is a strange woman who doesn't like to be lively." But Concubine Ning, Erchen knows a little better, Niangniang is naturally arrogant, although she usually acts arrogantly, but she pays the most attention to the rules. After thinking about it, Erchen only felt that Concubine Ning couldn't do such an insidious and vicious thing. ”
The Queen Mother smiled meaningfully when she heard this, and said with a slightly dull gaze: "Really? Since you say so, the mourning family also hopes that she really has nothing to do with this matter. However, it's not a problem for Lin'er to kneel all the time, you go and persuade him to let him go back......"
Meng Xilan was stunned again when she heard this: "Queen Mother...... Erchen is not suitable in the past, it is better to let Gonggong Lu make trouble. ”
The person she doesn't like to see the most now is Zhou Youlin, if she can't see it, she won't see it...... It's just that the Queen Mother suddenly mentioned this stubble.
The Queen Mother looked at her with a smile: "Do you think that the mourning family doesn't know about the matter between you?" However, the mourning family knows in his heart, you are a person with measures and rules, so naturally you will not have anything to do with him. The mourning family just wants you to persuade him, don't be impatient, he will definitely listen to your words. ”
After Meng Xilan heard this, she felt a chill down her spine and felt very uncomfortable. She knew that the Queen Mother knew about it, and the rumors in the palace were in a uproar, and it was only a matter of time before they reached her ears. But if you don't mention black and white, after all, it's just a thin layer of window paper, and if you don't pierce it, everything will be easy to do. But if it is pierced, it may cause trouble......
Meng Xilan lowered her head: "Erchen obeys." ”
All the way out of Cining Palace, Meng Xilan's face was slightly ugly, Gao Fuli chased after him in a hurry, and whispered: "Master, slow down, slow down." ”
Zhu Lu and Zhu Qing were also out of breath after chasing.
Meng Xilan walked forward in a straight way, suddenly stumbling under her feet, and almost fell. Thanks to Gao Fu's quick hands and feet, he held the master and said, "My ancestor, you are going to scare the slave to death." ”
Meng Xilan took a long breath, held Gao Fuli's arm, and said, "Don't go faster, I'm panicking in my heart." ”
"Master, you can't worry about the prince's affairs. Now that everyone in the palace knows about it, the master simply doesn't have to worry so much, the master's position has already been clear. The prince himself can't figure it out, what does it have to do with your master? Master, you just see when you should see it, and don't see it when you shouldn't see it, the slave doesn't believe it, even the queen mother believes you, who else in this palace dares to say that you are not. ”
High welfare used to be the most timid, afraid of three points when he saw people, and he was so flustered when he encountered something. But recently, Xu is getting a grade, and because he has a princess as a backer, he is quite bold in speaking and acting.
Meng Xilan listened to his words, and raised her eyebrows slightly: "If only it were as easy as you said." ”
Gao Fuli bowed his head slightly: "Today is a slave who is too talkative, and the slave is simply talking more, the boat is naturally straight to the bridge, the master doesn't have to worry too much, the prince still likes you in his heart in the end, since he likes people, he doesn't want others to talk about you behind his back." ”
