Two hundred and sixty-four: Destiny
Su Yunyao heard the waiter calling herself, and for a while she had already guessed seven or eight points in her heart, Gao wanted to accompany her, but the waiter said that she didn't call her, so she didn't have to go with her.
"How?" Gao was a little worried.
"It's okay Mrs. He." Su Yunyao took a deep breath, "In broad daylight, what else can she do to me?" If something really happens, you can help me again, don't worry! β
Having said that, how can Gao rest assured?
Entering the pavilion, this place is different from the outside, it is very cool, and the breeze blows and is mixed with the fragrance of flowers, which is refreshing.
But the people in the pavilion don't feel very comfortable.
"Concubine Xian, I don't know what is the matter with you looking for a courtier?"
When Concubine Lin Xian saw her coming, she began to put on a look of trusting her, "Yun Yao, I heard that you are arranging this palace behind your back, but is there such a thing?" It doesn't matter if you have, you generously admit it, and this palace and you will talk about the misunderstanding. β
As soon as Su Yunyao heard it, she knew that it must be Xiao Jingjing and Sun Liying who framed her, and when she turned her head, she saw the two of them standing aside, looking at her with a smile.
"Hui Niangniang, the courtiers didn't, I don't know who told you these nonsense."
"Oh?" Concubine Lin Xian raised her eyebrows, "Really?" Since there is none, presumably Miss Yun Yao can also prove it, so it is better to find evidence to prove that you really did not arrange the palace. β
Isn't this a clear display of making things difficult?
Su Yunyao fixed her thoughts, "Back to Niangniang, Mrs. Qingdehou and Sister He, who have been with the courtiers all the time, can testify, as well as the two sisters of the Ningguo Mansion, they have always been with the courtiers, so they naturally know whether the courtiers said or not. β
"Hmph, who doesn't know that they have a good relationship with you, and who doesn't know that they are towards you?"
Sun Liying's voice at the top of her throat made Su Yunyao feel harsh, and when she looked back, Sun Liying, who was looking directly, was a little weak-hearted, but she still held her neck and didn't plan to let her go.
"Please also ask Miss Sun to be cautious, Qingde Houfu and Ningguo Mansion are dedicated to the court and the people, when will they be devoted to me? Besides, what I haven't done before, if I say it, let me admit that I can't admit it, Xian Concubine Niangniang, since someone just told you that the courtier arranged you, then you called that person, let's talk about it on the spot, the courtiers can't come up with evidence, it doesn't mean that they can come up with evidence to prove what the courtiers said. β
Concubine Lin Xian paused, only to realize that she hadn't seen through this little girl.
I thought she was such a timid little family, but now it seems that her words are reasonable, and she is not scared at all in front of her, when did the little family become angry?
She waved her hand and said to Sun Liying and Xiao Jingjing, "You guys come and listen, how did you hear it, she arranged the palace." β
Xiao Jingjing was stunned for a moment, and she didn't know what to say for a while, but Sun Liying came out and said, "Hui Niangniang, the courtier and Jingjing were enjoying the chrysanthemums over there, and I heard Miss Su say that Fang Cai arranged your words." β
"Is there any physical evidence?" Su Yunyao asked.
Sun Liying shook her head: "How can this kind of thing leave physical evidence?" β
Su Yunyao asked again: "Is there a witness?" β
"Jingjing is a witness, and my maids are all witnesses, and they all heard it."
The corners of Su Yunyao's mouth chuckled, provoking Concubine Lin Xian's attention.
"What do you want to say?"
"Niangniang, Miss Fang Cai said that those who can prove for the courtiers are all towards the courtiers, so their testimony can't be counted, but now she has found a group of people who are facing her, so how can their testimony be counted?"
Sun Liying stabbed Xiao Jingjing a little anxiously, wanting her to help her say a few words.
After all, she is a relative of the Lin family, and Concubine Lin Xian can always give her a thin face or two.
"Niangniang, Miss Su really said those words just now..."Xiao Jingjing said.
Concubine Lin Xian's face was a little not good, but she had been thinking about cleaning up Su Yunyao in her heart, if she just let Su Yunyao go, how could she find a chance to clean her up? Besides, it is not easy for the Sun family and the Xiao family to get close to the Lin family, these are all people from her son Hengwang's faction, if she lets Sun Liying and Xiao Jingjing lose face, it will not be good for her son's great cause.
Thinking of this, she already made a decision in her heart about who to protect whom.
"Okay, this matter ends here, Yun Yao, this palace will give you a little face when she sees that you are the fiancΓ©e of the little grandfather of the Dingguo family, and you see that your father is a civil official trusted by the emperor, so he gives you a good face, don't go too far! Those words that arranged the palace should not have been heard, and you should be cautious in your words and deeds in the future, can you remember? In order to show the selflessness of the Grand Duke of the Palace, he will punish you to go back to your home and copy the scriptures thirty times, and let your father send them to the palace when you are empty, and you must not find anyone to replace the pen. β
"Niangniang, the courtiers don't understand, why do you want to punish the courtiers?" Su Yunyao was very angry, although her tone was quite respectful, but the anger in her eyes was not at all.
"Don't understand? Hongu made it very clear, you can't show evidence to prove what you didn't say, isn't that enough? β
"But they can't show evidence that the courtiers arranged you, do they?"
Concubine Lin Xian sneered, "Miss Sun and Miss Xiao have no grievances with you, can they still frame you for no reason?" Naturally, I really heard it before I thought about it and told the palace, this kind of thing still needs evidence, and no one dares to be a good person in the sky! β
Now she doesn't hide it at all, and directly puts the charge on Su Yunyao's head.
Su Yunyao still wanted to refute a few sentences, but there was no way, you can't wake up the person who pretends to be asleep, no matter how much sleep you have, it's useless, it's better to calm things down, copy the Buddhist scriptures thirty times, and it will be regarded as peace in exchange.
", slow down!" A familiar voice came from behind her, and Su Yunyao turned around, it turned out to be Bai Chuheng.
"How are you..."Su Yunyao didn't say the rest of the words.
Bai Chuheng saluted at Concubine Lin Xian, "I don't know how the minister's fiancΓ©e made the mother unhappy." β
"There is no one in her eyes, so she came to arrange the palace for no reason, and said those heart-wrenching words, if this is spread out word by word, where will the face of the palace go? It's the little grandfather, this palace didn't invite you today, what are you doing here? β
Bai Chuheng smiled, called Bai Chusui behind him, raised his hand at Concubine Lin Xian and said, "The minister accompanied the courtier, and the younger brother came to Yingju Garden to paint for the mother on the order of His Majesty, and it was no coincidence that there was no book, and I saw these when I first arrived here." β
Bai Chusui's painting skills are first-class, even the painters in the palace may not be able to catch up, so it seems understandable that the emperor sent him this time.
But Concubine Lin Xian understood that this was definitely a trap set by Bai Chuheng, and she rushed over to save her Su Yunyao!
"I just heard from Niangniang, Yun Yao, she arranged you? Please also make it clear, if it is really her fault, then the minister will reprimand her well. β
Concubine Lin Xian pretended to be lazy and got up, "It's nothing, this palace has already punished it." The little grandfather is resting. β
Bai Chuheng naturally would not let go of this opportunity, looked back at Sun Liying and Xiao Jingjing, and then looked at Su Yunyao who was kneeling on the ground, "Yunyao, you say it yourself." β
Su Yunyao winked at him, signaling him to stop caring and saving himself from ignorance, but Bai Chuheng didn't mean to care at all, and asked her to make it clear with a tough attitude.
So she explained the cause and effect, but the words that Concubine Lin Xian deliberately made it difficult for her were omitted by her.
"Oh, that's such a trifle." Bai Chuheng's eyebrows and eyes were relaxed, and he didn't take this matter to heart at all.
"What, Little Grandpa Bai doesn't believe in this palace? Or do you trust Miss Su too much and love Miss Su too much? Even her arranger Bengong didn't blush and her heart didn't beat. β
"That's not the case, Niangniang, Yun Yao, she was framed."
"Ridiculous! Where are her enemies here, and why are you framing her? Concubine Lin Xian's eyes began to be a little unhappy when she looked at Bai Chuheng.
But Bai Chuheng still said easily, "Since the mother doesn't believe it, then let the minister ask?" β
Concubine Lin Xian's afterglow swept over Xiao Jingjing and them, and after a pause, she finally nodded.
If she doesn't agree, doesn't that mean that she is guilty of deliberately making things difficult for Su Yunyao?
Su Yunyao's afterglow kept looking at Bai Chuheng, and she didn't know what method Bai Chuheng could use to exonerate her.
But what she never expected was that Bai Chuheng's method was so barbaric.
"Let me ask you, have you ever heard Yun Yao arrange Concubine Xian Niangniang with your own ears?"
The two nodded in unison.
Bai Chuheng sneered, "There is no basis for what you say, do you dare to swear?" swore that Fang Cai didn't say a word of falsehood, otherwise there would be five thunderstorms in the sky, and the whole family would not die well? β
This sentence almost made Su Yunyao spit out a mouthful of old blood, and Concubine Lin Xian on the side almost couldn't stand.
They believe in God the most.
Su Yunyao heard the lord of Shuyang say that the reason why Concubine Xian and the Lin family wanted to make King Heng the emperor was because King Heng had just been born and found someone to tell him his fortune, saying that he had the destiny of 'one person is determined to take away ten thousand people', which made Concubine Lin Xian and the Lin family firmly believe that as long as he wanted to be the emperor, no one would stop him.
But later, the emperor still set up the son of the first queen, and the eldest son is the current prince.
And the Sun family also began to faintly feel that King Heng would dominate the world in the future because of the fortune-telling grid for King Heng, so he abandoned the light and relied on the darkness and began to do things for the Lin family.
It's not easy for them to swear like this, besides, Xiao Jingjing's brother married the daughter of the Lin family, so Xiao Jingjing and Concubine Lin Xian are even a family that is turning a corner, let her swear that the whole family will not die well, so how can it be done? Concubine Lin Xian was thinking about it for a while, thinking a lot, worried that she was also worried about her son, and that her son who was harmed because of Xiao Jingjing's words would not be able to sit on the throne.
"It's just an arranged sentence, it's not painful, why should the little grandfather be so serious?" Concubine Lin Xian asked angrily.
"That's different, Niangniang, you just said, if this is spread word by word, how should the people think of you? If Yun Yao really said something like that, such a woman would marry back home, and the minister would not be at peace, right? β
