Chapter 40: Under the Dust
Prying open You Shi's mouth and revealing such a big conspiracy really shocked Qi Ying. However, what surprised her even more was that Mrs. Gong took the risk of using the Silent Ballad to control the You family and pull out the matter of Concubine Tong.
"Mrs. Gong knows Concubine Tongbian, right?"
Qi Ying's question made Mrs. Gong stunned for a moment, thinking that the two of them already belonged to the same boat, so she no longer hid it, and replied, "Yes, I came to the palace for her." ”
"Is she you?" Qi Ying asked.
"To tell you the truth, she is the daughter of the old pavilion master of the Tilting Maple Pavilion. She married into the palace without telling the old pavilion master, and died here only a year later, and then I was ordered to enter the palace to investigate the cause of her death. But Yi Shuwan did this back then, and I checked for a long time without any clues, and finally I could only believe that Miss Tongyun died of dystocia....."
Qi Ying didn't answer, but just looked at Mrs. Gong thoughtfully, she smiled bitterly and said, "You want to ask me why I didn't use the song at that time, right?" With that, she stood up and walked over to stroke the strings, "It's me who is not good at learning!" When the people I played the ballad I had controlled woke up, they remembered everything like You, and I was afraid that if I failed, I would never be able to stay in the palace again. At that time, I didn't want to leave the palace..... Because, I fell in love with the prince, and I fell in love with him from the first time I saw him....."
Qi Ying didn't want to continue to listen to Madam Gong reminiscing about her past love, so she interrupted: "Then what are you going to do next?" ”
"I'm going to expose Yi Shuwan's conspiracy." Mrs. Gong's eyes were firm, and she no longer cared about anything else, even if the old pavilion master blamed her for not doing things well back then.
"How?"
"When the prince comes back from the autumn hunt, I will personally go to report her crimes."
After thinking for a while, Qi Ying faintly felt that it was very inappropriate for Mrs. Gong to do this, "No, after many years, you rashly mentioned this matter to the prince, if he asked you how you found out, what would you say?" It is not appropriate for us to disclose the process of learning about this in front of the general public, after all, it is a horrific thing to use the song of silence to control the secret matter of the You clan. In this way, not only will you bring trouble to yourself, but the reputation of Yu Tilting Pavilion's will not be good. ”
Truly! The people of the Tilting Maple Pavilion have been keeping a low profile and their whereabouts are secretive all these years, except for some ordinary musicians, most of them are walking the rivers and lakes as doctors.
"So what to do?"
"You just said that the second son's leg disease was also caused by the princess, and let the princess reveal this matter to Mrs. Liu and let her make trouble. At that time, once she makes a fuss about the matter, let You Shi confess the matter by the way when she goes to testify. This matter is not trivial, once it starts, the prince will definitely continue to investigate. ”
"But Lady Liu is still being grounded?"
"Then help her and give her a chance to meet the prince"
Madam Gong thought for a while before nodding in agreement with Qi Ying's suggestion and saying, "Okay, I'll arrange it then." ”
In order to successfully expose Yi Shuwan's crimes, Qi Ying and Madam Gong discussed repeatedly for a long time, and it was almost time to return to the Xinyu Courtyard.
This night, Qi Ying couldn't sleep all night!
What You said had always been in her mind, lingering. At this time, what she thought about the most was Chu Yanxu, I don't know what Chu Yanxu would think after this matter was revealed? Won't it be sad? The former mother suddenly became a mother-killing enemy, and the mother-son friendship in the past is probably about to disappear.
Qi Ying couldn't imagine what Chu Yanxu would live like in the future, she was lying on the couch at this time, staring silently at the top of the tent, thinking about the unknown future.
