Chapter 796: Detained
The Queen Mother could not have imagined that at this time, the Queen would be the first person to stand up for Qin Yining.
This queen is usually inconspicuous, but this time she is so sharp and sharp, and she bites the truth every word. As a mother-in-law or the queen mother, she will be given the upper hand by her daughter-in-law, how will she gain a foothold in the palace in the future?
The Queen Mother said coldly: "Queen, are you obsessed? You really don't care about your own prince anymore? Could it be that you colluded with the Qin family and wanted to harm the emperor's heir? ”
The queen's face changed dramatically!
"Queen Mother, what is the reason for giving people the crime of being so casual! Although the concubine is a junior, the Holy Lord will hand over Fengyin to the concubine, and the concubine must act impartially. The Qin family can only be regarded as suspicious at most now, but the Queen Mother directly insisted that the Qin family was guilty.
"If you do this, it is very likely that the real murderer will go unpunished, so that a good person is wronged, but the person who really wants to harm the emperor's heir is living freely, and it is even possible to hurt the prince again in the future, the concubine is the biological mother of the eldest prince, how can such a situation be allowed to happen?"
The Queen Mother choked on the queen again.
Li Helan sneered when she saw it: "The imperial sister-in-law is so majestic, she dares to shout so loudly at the queen mother, for a prisoner who murdered the eldest prince, she is so fierce, is the imperial sister-in-law receiving any benefits from her in-laws?" ”
The queen was angry by Li Helan, "Her Royal Highness the eldest princess speak carefully!" ”
"I think the imperial sister-in-law should be cautious! The queen mother is your mother-in-law, the mother-in-law has a life, you don't obey, and you refute it like this, you are dedicated to outsiders, you don't filial piety to your mother, you don't protect your parents and children, is the imperial sister-in-law qualified to do this? ”
"Whether you are qualified or not, it's not something that the eldest princess can judge in a word!"
The queen and Li Helan quarreled, and the queen mother simply waved her hand at the chamberlain, "The queen was bewitched." Bring the queen aside and lock up the Qin family! ”
"Yes."
The chamberlain of Ci'an Palace immediately stepped forward and took the queen to the side one by one.
The guards set up Qin Yining and dragged him out.
Qin Yining had injuries on her legs, so she couldn't catch up with the guards' footsteps at all, and the guards held her high so that her feet couldn't touch the ground, and the shoes on her feet fell off in a few steps, and soon the skin on her feet was worn by sharp stones, and her white socks were stained with a little blood.
The queen struggled anxiously, and said sharply: "The queen mother acts like this." It's too unfair, and it will only laugh and be generous! ”
"Presumptuous! The mourning family sees that you, the queen, have done enough! Carefully mourn the family and let the emperor divorce you! ”
The queen's eyes were red, and she shook off the hands of the two attendants who were holding her, and turned to leave.
"Stop! You stand for the mourners! ”
The queen turned a deaf ear, and still walked briskly, without looking back, turning the queen mother's angry face into the color of pig liver, and kept muttering: "How can this be reasonable, how can this be reasonable!" ”
"Queen Mother, don't be angry, the imperial sister-in-law is obsessed, you can teach it slowly in the future. Qin, what are you going to do? ”
The Queen Mother said irritably: "Don't worry about this, there is a mourning family in the horizontal and vertical, and if you want to harm the grandson of the mourning family, she is looking for death!" ”
The Queen Mother put down this sentence and strode out.
Concubine Yun and Princess Tana all stood up and saluted, "Congratulations to the Queen Mother." ”
Li Helan was bored in front of the concubines, and she had seen enough of the excitement, so she simply didn't stay long, and left the palace first.
Concubine Yun and Princess Tana didn't like each other, and they separated.
Princess Tana saw Qin Yining's bad luck today, not to mention how happy she was, she finally did what Su told her to do that day, and she finally let out a bad breath for Anari Khan. Along the way, Princess Tana was in an excellent mood.
It was only when she returned to Chuxiu Palace and glanced at the side hall where Qin Yining lived that she remembered it.
"No, aren't there two maidservants around the Qin family? Just now, the guards only captured the Qin family and came back, what about the two maidservants? ”
Princess Tana felt that this matter was quite strange, and found such clues in order to please the Queen Mother, and she immediately took people to Ci'an Palace.
At this time, in the inner hall of Ci'an Palace, the Queen Mother and Concubine Yun were sitting and talking.
The handkerchief in Concubine Yun's hand was twisted, and she whispered nervously: "Aunt Cousin, this matter is too strange." Why did a concubine pop up halfway? Things aren't going to change, are they? ”
"What are you afraid of?"
The Queen Mother smiled faintly, picked up the tea bowl and took a bite, "As long as you do what the mourning family says, there will be no problem." ”
Concubine Yun's eyes flashed slightly, and she hurriedly expressed her loyalty, "The concubines are all according to what you said, and the arsenic you gave is also ......."
"Shhhh Look for death! ”
Concubine Yun covered her mouth, and she was too busy to say more.
The Queen Mother said in a deep voice: "Originally, our plan, the bird's nest must be tested for poison before it is eaten by the eldest prince, as long as it is found to be poisonous, the people of Kunning Palace will immediately take down the Qin family." In this way, the contradictions are between the empress and the Qin clan.
"But today Concubine Yu suddenly appeared, although it disrupted our plan, but the purpose was also achieved, so it doesn't matter."
"Yes." Concubine Yun saluted respectfully, and there was a loss in her eyes that could not be hidden.
The Queen Mother squinted at Concubine Yun: "What, what else do you have to lose?" ”
"No, no." Concubine Yun hurriedly waved her hand, "The concubine just saw that things were different from what she expected, so she was a little flustered and had no other ideas." ”
The Queen Mother sneered when she heard this, and said, "Forgive you for not having that guts." Okay, the mourning family is also tired, you go. ”
"Yes." Concubine Yun stood up, curtsied, and retreated respectfully.
The Queen Mother played with the tea bowl slowly, looking at the lifelike carp and lotus pattern on the tea bowl, and suddenly chuckled.
Don't think she can't see what Concubine Yun is missing.
Could it be that Concubine Yun still expects the eldest prince of the bird's nest with arsenic to really eat it?
If she didn't arrange for Concubine Yu to knock over the bowl of bird's nest with a dead dog that had eaten arsenic in advance, if it was really given to her precious grandson, the emperor wouldn't turn his face with her?
The Queen Mother leaned back leisurely and hummed a small tune comfortably.
The grandmother outside said back and forth, "Queen Mother, Concubine Shun asks to see you." ”
The Queen Mother frowned and said, "Let's just say that the mourning family is asleep." Missing. ”
When Mama heard this, she answered, and went out to see Princess Tana.
"Hui Shun Concubine Niangniang, the Queen Mother is too frightened and angry today, extremely tired, this time she has fallen asleep, if you have any orders, just tell the slave maid, and the slave and maid will convey it for you."
Princess Tana was so angry that she almost cursed. She just watched Concubine Yun come out of Ci'an Palace, how could the Queen Mother still fall asleep in the blink of an eye?
If you don't want to see her, you won't see her, what's the big deal, it looks like she's in a hurry.
Princess Tana held back her anger and said, "That's the case, the palace found that the two maidservants beside the Qin family were missing, and the guards didn't see them when they were arrested, so they came to inform the Queen Mother." Now that the Queen Mother has fallen asleep, the palace has taken her leave. ”
Hurriedly saluting, and without looking at the grandmother's face, Princess Tana hurriedly walked back to Chuxiu Palace.
The grandmother's face changed drastically, and she hurriedly went back and told the Queen Mother.
When the Queen Mother heard this, she also sat up directly, "A bunch of fools! Even the two little women were lost? Don't let them look for it yet! ”
"Yes!" Mama hurried to instruct the guards to capture Jiyun and Rock Candy.
And Qin Yining's compartment has been handcuffed to his ankle by an iron chain, and the other end is locked to a wall pillar in the dark room.
The windows on all four sides of the dark room had been nailed with wooden planks, and only the gaps between the planks let in a faint light, reflecting floating dust in the empty room.
The house is clean on all sides, there are no tables, chairs, benches, furniture, a big kang near the window, obviously there will be no fire, and there is a gong bucket in the corner. There is nothing else for the rest.
I can't imagine that there is such a place behind the Empress Dowager's Ci'an Palace.
Qin Yining dragged the heavy chain and walked a few steps, this room was dark and moldy, and there was a faint smell of blood, and he didn't know how many palace people who had made mistakes in this room had been executed by the Queen Mother.
Originally, she thought that people of the Queen Mother's status should not let her hands be stained with blood, but now it seems that she overestimated her.
Qin Yining walked through the length and energy level of the iron chain, and tried to sit on the kang, but found that the kang was close to the window, leaking air everywhere, and it was even colder than the ground, so she returned to the red-painted pillar, wrapped her arms around herself, sat down with her knees hugged, and curled herself up in a ball.
"It's fine." Qin Yining said to herself.
An echo could be heard in the empty temple.
"It's okay, it's going to be fine. Just stick with it. ”
Her own voice still echoed in the hall.
Qin Yining pressed her red and swollen cheeks to her sleeve, and a drop of hot tears overflowed from the corner of her eye, which was quickly dried up by her sleeve.
You can't be weak, you can't be afraid. Because Qin Yining understands that this is just the beginning.
Being locked up in Ci'an Palace is even more terrible than being imprisoned in the prison of the Criminal Department. Here, the Queen Mother can torture her when she thinks about it, and the methods of those old ladies around the Queen Mother are believed to be very powerful.
Qin Yining closed his eyes and forced himself to recuperate. At this point, she has to be strong, she still has two children, and she has a whack, and her parents, she must persevere. ”
Qin Yining judged the sunrise and sunset from the light of the gap in the window, and in the blink of an eye, a day and night had passed.
She has been sitting on her knees all the time, curled up to warm herself, her empty stomach is cramping, her lips are also cracked with thirst, the bruises on her knees have been swollen, and the pain is drilling, she touched her face, it seems to be more swollen.
Qin Yining silently drew the first stroke of the word "positive" on the corner of the wall, and smiled self-deprecatingly, to see how long she, a "wild man", could last.
There was such a big thing in the palace, although Li Qitian did not deliberately publicize it, but he did not suppress the news. Soon, the courtiers and nobles learned that Prince Zhongshun intended to harm the emperor's heir.
In the eldest princess's mansion, Li Helan had just changed into a new magenta spring dress, and a servant girl came to report excitedly: "Eldest princess, eldest princess!" The colt is coming! ”
Li Helan was overjoyed when she heard this, and hurriedly looked at the hairpin ring decoration on her head in the mirror, and made sure that she was dressed impeccably, so she stood up with a smile.
Ji Zeyu was dressed in a black cross-collared arrow sleeve shirt, his black hair was tied up high on the back of his head and hung down on his straight back, there was no expression on his jade-like face, and his handsome face was as cold as frost.
Li Helan saw Ji Zeyu like this, and her heart throbbed, "Why is the horse here, don't you miss the palace?" ”
