Chapter Eighty-Three: Money

Concubine Ying sneered, pointing to the female history who was kneeling beside Mu Jiao and said: "Mingqiu, just tell what you have seen, don't be afraid that no one will advocate it, the person behind the scenes will kill your whole family, and the Queen Mother will make the decision for you and rescue your family." ”

Mingqiu kowtowed, crying and crying: "Back to the Queen Mother, in the middle of the night before, the slave maid was in a hurry, and it was convenient to go out, because the toilet was too far away, the slave and maid were really panicked, so they hurriedly walked into the sandwich road next to the division room that no one walked.

was convenient, but saw a figure sneakily walked out of the division's room, holding something in his arms, walked to the ancient acacia tree next to the road, picked up a few clusters of blooming Mu Jin flowers, and picked up the pit under the pile of flowers, and picked it down, and buried the things in his arms.

After burying it, he replanted Mu Jinhua'er, straightened up, looked around left and right, clapped his hands, and tiptoed away.

By the light of the moon, the slave maid saw that this person was Mu Jiao, and she felt strange, she didn't know what she was hiding in the middle of the night, so she walked to the side of the ancient acacia to pick up the dirt and take a look, but it was a smashed jewelry box.

The slave maid thought it was nothing, but she was afraid that she would not be able to make the object, and she was afraid of being punished, so she came out and buried it when no one was around, so as not to be seen and blamed by the master of the division, so she buried the box again and went back to sleep. ”

After Mingqiu finished speaking, Concubine Ying's face turned angry, and she gritted her teeth and scolded: "Old ancestor, this slave really deserves to be beaten, if you tell what you saw earlier, the emperor will be like this!"

It's really hateful, he was beaten by the concubine with thirty sticks, the ancestor won't blame the concubine for being ruthless? ”

Empress Dowager Liu stretched out her hand to press her forehead, rested her elbows on the table, let out a long sigh, and was silent.

"Ancestor, the concubine has already dug up the jewelry box, do you want to present it to you now?" Concubine Ying asked softly.

Empress Dowager Liu shook her head, looking tired, and only after a while did she help Mama Jiang get up and walk outside, instructing Concubine Yingfei as she went: "Ying'er, what to do, how to deal with it, this damn slut can't solve the hatred in the heart of the mourning family even if he punishes the nine clans!" ”

"The concubine understands." Concubine Ying bowed down and replied, her eyes inadvertently swept over the calmness standing on the side, and the corners of her mouth were filled with some imperceptible smiles.

Empress Dowager Liu had just walked to the door, but she almost bumped into a person who entered the hall.

The woman knelt on the ground with a "tom" and cried loudly: "Queen Mother, for some reason, Li Sishan her, she actually hanged herself." ”

Empress Dowager Liu paused, snorted coldly, and threw her sleeves away.

Concubine Ying slowly paced over, the light smile on the corner of her mouth turned into mockery, she carelessly straightened the wrinkles on her sleeves, and said coldly: "Zhao Yue, you are really a smart person, you know what to do when and when to do." ”

Zhao Yue knelt and retreated to the side, so as not to block Concubine Ying's way out, kowtowed to her, and cried and said: "The slave doesn't understand what Niangniang meant." ”

"Xiaoyue, go and call the people from the Execution Division, the matter has been clarified, and the mastermind behind the scenes has committed suicide in fear of crime, let them take over this mess, and after the disposal is over, return to the Queen Mother immediately."

Xiaoyue agreed and ran out.

"Niangniang, the Queen Mother, her old man, why are you angry? Could it be that she did something sorry for everyone? Zhao Yue, who was kneeling on the steps, asked in a confused voice.

Concubine Ying took her calm hand and walked out, not even looking at her, as if she didn't exist.

The two walked to the imperial garden where no one was, and Concubine Ying sat on the stone bench under the shade of the tree, lazily fiddling with her nails, and said with a smile: "Leng Sishe, this case has finally come to light, and you have been returned to a clean house, is this a big gift from the palace?" ”

"Niangniang, even if you want to exonerate the slave maid, you don't have to use such means to cut off the tongue of the female history." Calmly sighed with a sad face.

Concubine Ying flashed her eyes, snorted coldly, and shook her head: "Fortunately, you are not an ancestor, otherwise the scene just now would not be a performance of the palace that killed itself?" ”

"The drama made up by Niangniang is really flawless, but it is only because she is calm in it and understands some of the inside stories that she sees the flaws." Calm and bitter smiled.

"Flaws? Where do you see the flaws? Listen to it with this palace and pay attention next time. Concubine Ying smiled.

Calm down, a shudder in my heart.

Although it is said that Concubine Ying's rectification is all deserving people, it can be speculated that it cannot be used as evidence after all, so these people will be convicted and executed, and they will be calm and unbearable.

"Since Li Sishan is afraid that Cai Ming will talk nonsense, wouldn't it be better to kill her directly?

Cai Ming was originally a female history under her hands, and if she found an excuse, she could be put to death, so why use such a cruel method to keep her alive? ”

Speak calmly and slowly.

"How does this palace know? Maybe she's stupid. Concubine Ying shrugged her shoulders and didn't care.

"The person who does this can only be you, because you want her to admit that Li Sishan has done bad things, she is about Si Yi's confidant, and she resolutely refuses, if you kill her and let Caiwei say it alone, this hearsay is naturally not so credible.

So, I cut out her tongue so that she couldn't speak, no matter whether what Caiwei said was true or not, she could only shake her head or nod, I think Niangniang must have threatened her with her family's life, dare to nod indiscriminately, her family will not have a good result. ”

Calm down.

"Some people don't eat toasts, they have to eat punishment wine, since she wants to eat punishment wine so much, then this palace will fulfill her." Concubine Ying sneered.

"Mingqiu's words are even more ridiculous, from the side of the si's room in the mezzanine can't see the steps of the main entrance of the si's room at all, if you can see the steps in front, Mingqiu must squat at the end of the mezzanine near the stone lion, and squatting in that place, as long as Mu Jiao goes out, she can see her.

If you delete the sentence she said earlier that she saw someone sneaking out of the Si Shi room, and just say that she was seen buried under the ancient huai, this confession becomes more credible. ”

Calm down.

Concubine Ying bit off the nail on her little thumb, took a painful breath, pursed her mouth, and complained calmly: "It's all you, my little nail has been raised for half a year, and it is easy to raise spring onions, but I was broken by you bluffing." ”

"In fact, this little omission can't be blamed on Niangniang, Niangniang doesn't live in the Division, of course, she is not very familiar with the path of the Division, and this strategy was thought up in a hurry, Niangniang's talent is high, calm and admired."

Calmly give a blessing and said.

"Forget it, you don't have to flatter this palace, let's talk about it, what are the flaws, this matter is not over, if you are a general on a whim, because this time the matter is big, and it has to be retried, won't I capsize?" Concubine Ying smiled.

"Niangniang, in the middle of the night the day before yesterday, dark clouds covered the moon, and there was no moonlight at all, how could Mingqiu use the moonlight to know which person that person was." Spread your hands calmly.

Concubine Ying bit off another nail, flashed her eyes sadly, and sighed: "I forgot about this, the moon was good last night, and the night before because of a light rain, cloudy, there should be no moon in the middle of the night, so it is said that it is good to guess that it is a wood pepper based on her height and appearance." ”

"The most important thing is what I want to say next, Niangniang, the emperor was assassinated, calm down and was called to the scene as soon as possible, and I saw the jewelry box on the table, what I made myself, of course I recognized it.

That jewelry box is undoubtedly the one I made myself. Calmly smiled bitterly.

Concubine Ying was stunned for a moment, and bit the five nails on one hand, all of them were bitten off, and after a while, she cleared her throat heavily, coughed, and her face turned a little pale:

"Did you really do this? Are you trying to kill Zheng Le'er? ”

Shake your head calmly, smile wryly, and spread your hands.

Concubine Ying shrunk her neck, her eyes full of fear.

"To be honest, I still don't have a clue who this person wants to frame me." Calm down.

Concubine Ying sucked her nose, her voice trembling a little: "In this way, this palace did this a great favor to the man behind the scenes?" Actually exonerated her? ”

Calmly and helplessly, he spread his hands: "Niangniang, I have said a long time ago that it is definitely not something that Li Siyi and Zhao Yue dare to do.

Even if they participate, they are just for the use of others, and they are just tools in the hands of others. ”

Concubine Ying shuddered and waved her hand: "Calm down, you don't have to talk about it, the back of the palace is chilling when I listen."

The palace knows that I am not the only one who covets the position of the queen, and these concubines in the harem, including those talented people, should all have this ambition in their hearts.

We think we're smart, but there's always someone smarter than us, and people, if they're trying to survive, can do whatever tricks they do. ”

"It's my own stupidity, the concubine has always been guarded, no matter what, as long as you send it to her, it will always be tested again and again before it is allowed to be sent to her.

If I hadn't been clever enough to give her a pair of high heels to win her favor, she wouldn't have believed me, and if she hadn't believed me, she wouldn't have opened the box of jewelry. ”

Said calmly and sadly.

Concubine Ying's eyes lit up, and she suddenly became resentful: "Calm down, it's not Zheng Le'er who believes in you, but the emperor!" If he doesn't believe you, why does Zheng Leer believe you?

If he doesn't believe you, how can he be tempted by that jewelry box, he has to open it to see it himself, so the person who killed the emperor is you!

The emperor has his trust in you! You little slut! ”

"In fact, I've been thinking about it these days, who is it who knows me better than myself, and what he wants to harm may not be Concubine Zheng at all, it's the emperor at all!

He has been taking advantage of the emperor's trust in Sima Nan, and Jin'er's trust in me is using me to do things.

Unfortunately, until now, I don't know who this person is or why he did it. Ling Jing slowly sat down on the stone bench and said slowly.

Concubine Ying shuddered again and looked up at the blue sky.

The sky was blue, there were few clouds, and the sun was very good, but unfortunately, this huge palace illuminated by such sunlight was cold and unforgiving after all.

For survival and glory, there is no longer black and white here, all that remains is a battle of victory and defeat.
