Chapter 51: Praying Mantis, Cicadas, and Yellow Sparrows
Two days later,
Inside the main hall,
Only Emperor Qing and his two concubines, Mo Gui came to ask him for an explanation as Emperor Jin.
"Emperor Qing, I and Li'er were invited, but I didn't want you to put Li'er in prison indiscriminately, but now you only give me a corpse, how can I say this?" Emperor Jin said indignantly in the main hall.
This Concubine Liu and Concubine Ning have not returned to the palace because the palace eunuch has not returned to restore their lives, so they are always a little afraid, and now seeing Emperor Jin coming to make trouble, a stone hanging in their hearts can be regarded as falling.
"I don't want to, how did this sparse glass die?" The Qing Emperor was only confused by this, so he had to show sadness and replied.
"Everyone knows that Li'er is after our country has been decided, but it is not yet married, if you don't give me an explanation today, you will only wait for the 500,000 army to crusade in many ways!" Emperor Jin only put down these words, and the two concubines on the side of Emperor Qing couldn't help but say at this time, "This Shang Shuli died by herself, what does it matter to us?" Why did you come to crusade?"
"First, Li'er's body was examined and died of poisoning, and second, after Wu Ye Kingdom, he was assassinated to death by your Ling Guo, is it really that Wu Yang Ye Kingdom has no generals and no soldiers?" Emperor Jin then choked on it.
"I don't know why!" When Emperor Qing heard this, his body was shaken, so he had no choice but to persuade him.
Concubine Liu's eyes rolled, and she shook forward, her face full of smugness, and she said treacherously, "Shang Shuli committed suicide in prison in fear of crime!" ”
Emperor Qing pushed the boat along the way and said, "Yes, that's it, is there anything else that Emperor Jin has to say?"
I saw Emperor Jin's jade hands clapping each other three times, and a few black-clothed secret guards helped an old woman with wrinkled skin to slowly approach, but Concubine Liu gradually retreated after seeing it clearly, as if she was frightened by something.
After Concubine Ning also saw her face clearly, her legs were weak for a while, and she couldn't stand steadily, so she only muttered, "What...... How is she ......?"
Emperor Qing listened with a pricked ear, "Concubine Ning, what are you talking about?"
Concubine Ning couldn't help but be frightened, but now when she heard that Emperor Qing was blaming her, she couldn't hold her breath, and she was about to tell everything and everything, this Concubine Liu saw Concubine Ning like this, and only sighed in her heart that it was really mud that couldn't support the wall, so she only pushed Concubine Ning away on the side, and rushed to complain, "Your Majesty, I have something to say!" ”
Emperor Qing only said, "Say! ”
Concubine Liu's face did not change and said, "Actually, Shang Shuli was poisoned by Concubine Ning who sent someone to deliver poison!" I also persuaded her before, but she wanted to act like this, saying that she couldn't let Shang Shuli rob her of her glory and wealth, blame me...... Blame me for not stopping her, and my sister has been ruthless for many years to expose her, Your Majesty, please punish Your Majesty! As she spoke, Concubine Liu burst into tears and kept wiping it.
Emperor Jin chuckled twice, and said in his words, "Is that really the case?" This old woman is from the cell next door to Li'er, and she knows exactly who has done what, oh, by the way, there are some people who have done something before, maybe they can also be exposed today, if what someone said is false, it is a crime! Concubine Liu still has to think clearly before saying it! ”
Concubine Ning has already fallen to the ground and is useless, but Concubine Liu is a different situation of soft and hard not eating, although the old woman's spirit is sometimes sluggish, sometimes bright, but she also knows that she has to kneel on the ground above the hall to reply, it seems that her more than 20 years of palace life is not in vain, "Your Majesty, she she, she killed, killed, people ......"
The old woman pointed at Concubine Liu vaguely and kept saying this, and the Green Emperor leaned forward on the dragon chair and asked, "Who did you kill?"
"Fetus, many, many......" the old woman stumbled, "and ...... And also...... The ...... the night before ...... in a cell Women's ......"
The Qing Emperor feigned anger and said, "Concubine Liu, you haven't recruited you from the truth, you are so bold, I have been so important to you for decades!" ”
Concubine Liu only knelt on the ground and laughed to herself, "Hahahaha, Your Majesty, haha, I didn't expect it, hahaha, I'm dead...... It's all dead, great, Your Majesty and Ling Guo are all mine, they are all mine, they are all mine alone, no one can rob me, and whoever robs me has to die! ”
"Nope! Concubine Liu, you're wrong! I'm not dead! I heard the words from behind the screen and suddenly lifted the curtain, Concubine Liu saw me, her cheeks twitched sharply, and she wanted to rush up and choke me again, but she was pressed to the ground by the secret guard, but she still spat and said, "Okay, you little girl, you're not dead!" Listen to me! I won't let you go, life and death, you and I will eventually get back together! ”
The grandfather only waved his hand in disgust, signaling the guards to pull him away, and the son also signaled the secret guard to hand over this person to the Ling State guard, and the secret guard hated to stop.
But Concubine Liu refused to bow to the law, and she had to understand, so she only shouted in the palace, "Why is this happening? Why? There's nothing wrong with my plan, why is this happening?"
I only stepped forward and said to him, "I don't know, have you ever heard the story of the praying mantis catching cicadas and the yellow finch behind?" I'm your cicada, and you're their praying mantis. ”
"I see, I see, you guys...... You're deliberately setting a trap for me to jump down...... I'm really smart, and I'm confused for a while! Concubine Liu only laughed at herself.
When my grandfather saw this, he said bitterly to Concubine Liu, "Liu yes, Liu yes, do you think I have never suspected you?" But I just feel that I hurt you a few years ago, and I don't want to worry more about you, but now you are so vicious that you want to hurt Shuli, how can I tolerate you? Emperor Jin and I are just calculating! ”
"Your Majesty, now I only ask you, have you ever had a moment of love for me? Just like the two of them! Concubine Liu looked at me and my son with tears in her eyes, and looked at her grandfather expectantly.
"Never." My grandfather replied in a hoarse voice.
Concubine Liu is still Concubine Liu, but she has lost her former look, and now when she hears this, she is just like a walking corpse, hanging her head and shrugging her shoulders, I will never forget the way she looked at me when the guard carried her in front of me, and whispered to me, "I'm jealous of you." ”
But fortunately, she will be locked up forever in the same cell where I have lived and perhaps many others who have been framed like me have lived, and she will no longer be able to disturb my life and threaten my life.
Every time I go through these storms, I feel how beautiful life is, how precious life is, and how important kindness is.
A few days ago,
Inside the Kan Folded Building,
"But Childe, what if I'm really calculated tomorrow?" I thought to myself that it doesn't matter if it turns into an ice sculpture, it would be good if it melts, if it is calculated by those two women, it will really be fatal, so I pulled his sleeve and said.
"Li'er rest assured, the secret guard will follow you then, if he sets any trap for you, you can jump down, I have my own way to save you, and by the way, I can help your grandfather." He only took out his covered hand from the quilt and held my slightly cool hand.
"What, grandfather? What happened to my grandfather?" I just lay down on the kang and asked.
"You've been wandering around the palace these days, and what do you think is the relationship between your grandfather and the second concubine?" He just grabbed my wrist and shook it.
"I think it's very strange, husband and wife are not like husband and wife, and monarchs and ministers are not like monarchs and ministers, anyway, I feel that my grandfather is not sincere to them." I thought for a moment and replied.
"And what if I told you that they had something to do with your grandfather?" He said to me casually.
"Oh~ I see." I shook my head as if I had realized.
"What do you understand?" He just flicked my finger on the door of my head and laughed.
After I was shot, I only looked at him with my head high, although there was no wave on my face, my subordinates grabbed his fingers in reverse, looked at him and said quietly, "I know, I want to help my grandfather~"
He only whispered softly and begged for mercy, "Li'er, my finger is going to be broken, my subordinates are merciful~"
I let go and raised my eyebrows, grinning, "Let you bully me, today I finally know how good I am." ”
"Who bullies whom, really." He just shrunk aside and said aggrievedly.
I pursed my lips and smiled, took his hand that had just been hurt by me and put it on my leg and gently massaged it, I turned my head to see that he was also smiling at me, all with a happy face.
At noon the next day,
"Master, the young lady has been put in prison! The two concubines were planning how to kill the young lady. The secret guard who followed all the way returned to Kanzhilou and replied.
"I know, I didn't expect this Qingdi to be really ruthless and put Li'er in prison, it's not easy!" Emperor Jin touched the tip of his finger to the tip of his nose repeatedly.
"Last time, the master asked his subordinates to investigate the affairs of the harem of Ling Kingdom, and the relationship between the Qing Emperor and the second concubine of the harem is very delicate." The Dark Guard couldn't help but remember.
"It is precisely because of this that I am so relieved to let Li'er go alone, so that I can draw salary from the bottom of the kettle, just to do Emperor Qingdi a big favor, but my Li'er is going to suffer a little." Emperor Jin sometimes laughed funny by himself, and sometimes hung his head.
"What's the busy?" The Dark Guard was confused.
Emperor Jin snapped his fingers at the dark guard, "Woman! This is the most upsetting thing for the old man. ”
The dark guard understood, and was covering his mouth and snickering, only to hear the sound of the wooden window opening, the dark guard immediately put away his smile and became vigilant, it was still the man in white, he climbed through the window and entered, and landed on the kang and said, "I heard that Shuli is in prison, aren't you in a hurry to save her?"
As soon as Emperor Jin saw that he was angry, he didn't fight, and sat on the kang and reprimanded, "Of course I have to save it, but I have my own way, can you manage it?"
"Do you want me to help you, Emperor Jin!" The man in white hammered Emperor Jin's left shoulder, and knocked on a handful of melon seeds.
"Neurotic!" Emperor Jin only scolded the man in white with disgust.
"What a neuropathy, my surname is Bai, famous words, speak to me well!" Bai Yan introduced himself.
"Bai Yan? It's really a tarnished good name and surname! Emperor Jin still didn't appreciate it.
"I can tell you, I have a fake death pill, which is too suitable for your plan," while talking and laughing, Bai Yan took out a transparent bottle containing many transparent pills, and put it in front of Emperor Jin and boasted, "My fake death medicine is colorless and tasteless, and it doesn't hurt your body, it's like you slept for a while, where did you find such a good fake death pill!" Could it be that you really want Shuli to die once! ”
Emperor Jin was also curious about this object and wanted to take a look at it, but Bai Yan grabbed it in front and said, "I just told you to get ready to pick up people, I want to give it to her myself, and I can see her, how good!" Can't be cheap for you! ”
Emperor Jin was speechless and watched as Bai Yan finished swallowing the handful of melon seeds on the kang, and then turned out of the window and left, and he didn't stop him much.
Emperor Jin only thought of two things when he saw it, first, it was snowy outside, wasn't it cold for this person to be dressed so thinly? Second, this person is good at doing light work!
