Chapter 501: Investigation
In the empty hall, sandalwood curls, and the light fragrance fills in the air, with a calm smell.
It's just that the Queen Mother is not as peaceful as before, her face is even more ugly and tight, and her heart is even more up, thinking about Su Yi's affairs all the time. The Buddha beads in his hand were shaking, and they were hitting each other with a crisp sound, making the hall even more dead.
Several young women in colorful clothes knelt down, holding their breath and concentrating, all of them lowered their heads, and they didn't dare to come out.
"If you don't call today, you will all kneel, and the mourners will see how long you can kneel."
The queen mother's voice was full of ruthlessness, and she didn't say anything about fighting and killing, but it made the women shudder. The most gentle and generous queen mother in the past was angry for the first time, and she came at them, and a few nobles who had just entered the palace and had only a few small titles couldn't help but be secretly unlucky.
I've said it twice, but the Queen Mother just doesn't believe it, so what's the solution? Wen Wan, who was named a picker, couldn't help but glance at Li Shuyun, who entered the palace on the same day as herself, and glared at her fiercely. If it weren't for Li Shuyun's reason from time to time, they wouldn't be kneeling here, everyone involved in one person is suspicious, and it's all her fault.
is not only gentle, but even Zhuang Yulan and the remaining two who were also named pickers are also dissatisfied with Li Shuyun. If it weren't for the Queen Mother, I'm afraid that I would have fought long ago. I thought that after entering the palace, I would be favored by His Majesty, and the whole family would ascend to heaven, but I knew that I would encounter such an unlucky thing as soon as I came, and I would not be saved.
Time passed little by little, and the feet of the five kneeling were numb, but the Queen Mother did not speak, and no one dared to get up.
couldn't help it, Wen Wan finally spoke up: "Li Cainu, if you really make a move in that plum cake, you should still move, don't bother us." ”
Together with this voice, the rest of Zhuang Yulan, Wu Feiyan, and Sun Qiao'er also made a fuss together: "Yes, Li Cainu, Your Majesty is the best for you, and you are a Cainu, but you are not satisfied, and it is a great rebellion to want to murder Niangniang through that girl." You can't drag us into the water! ”
used to play together, and there were close friends in the suburbs, once they entered the palace, they had their own interests, even if everyone knew that Li Shuyun probably didn't have the courage, but in order not to be implicated, they also fell into the well.
Who made them all sealed as Cai Nu, only Li Shuyun's Baolin? For that alone, she should be unlucky!
"There are really no concubines, Queen Mother, you have to believe in the concubines."
Li Shuyun's frightened face was pale, and she kowtowed and hurriedly distinguished: "Just now I just saw that girl passing by, and remembered that she was the princess of Chu, so I said a few words to her curiously, and I really didn't touch her pastries, let alone murder Niangniang!" ”
The Queen Mother didn't believe it at all: "You usually have no contact with Princess Chu, why did you talk to her so politely when you saw her maid?" What did you say to her and what else did you do, otherwise why did the queen faint after eating that pastry? ”
"There must be something wrong with that pastry, it is Princess Chu who wants to murder her mother, and it is not about the concubine!"
"You mean that Princess Chu wants to kill the queen? Why did she harm the queen, you say! ”
The queen mother is unpredictable, aggressive, and she looks like she will not give up until she finds out the answer, and she is like two people in peace. The women complained bitterly in their hearts, but they didn't have any way, while thinking that they were unlucky, they knew that they would not enter the palace, and at the same time they scolded Li Shuyun and Luo Qingluan in their hearts, but on the surface, they were sincerely afraid and kept begging for mercy.
At this moment, a long voice with a shrill voice came from outside: "Your Majesty has arrived-"
The hearts of all the women jumped, and they all looked up at the door, but then they reacted again, and hurriedly knelt down and bowed their heads, waiting for Nangong Qing's arrival.
The Queen Mother couldn't care so much, as soon as she saw Nangong Qing coming, she was about to ask Su Yi how she was, but she didn't expect to see Luo Qingluan coming after her in a blink of an eye, her face couldn't help but sink, and she was unhappy with Luo Qingluan for the first time.
In the past, she liked Luo Qingluan very much and loved her, but after all, Luo Qingluan had become the woman of the King of Chu, not her daughter-in-law, and Su Yi had always been kind to her and was pregnant, so the Queen Mother's heart slowly shifted.
This time the queen's coma also implicated Luo Qingluan, if it weren't for the fact that the King of Chu was fighting and couldn't move Luo Qingluan at will, plus he knew Luo Qingluan's temperament, the queen mother would not agree to Nangong Qing to leave the girl named Daiyue behind, and she would have sent it directly to the Shangshi Bureau for strict investigation.
Suddenly seeing Luo Qingluan appear in front of her, the Queen Mother's face sank, she didn't speak, she just stared at Nangong Qing and said, "What about the queen, how is it now?" ”
Nangong Qing's face softened a lot, and he smiled a little: "Don't worry, the queen mother has woken up, thanks to the timely arrival of Princess Chu, this saved the queen." ”
It turned out to be Luo Qingluan again......
The queen mother was overjoyed, and just wanted to thank Luo Qingluan, but then she remembered her girl, after all, the situation is unknown, and before the truth is found out, everyone is suspicious.
The smile on her face also retracted a little, and the Queen Mother looked at Luo Qingluan and said lightly: "Thank you Princess Chu, since the queen is awake, it's good, it's good, it's good......"
"I can't be the queen mother's thanks, there is a reason for it, although Dai Yue and I didn't do anything to the queen, and there will be no problem with that plate of plum cakes, but after all, the truth has not come out, and even I am guilty now."
Luo Qingluan leaned over and said, "Queen Mother, I asked Your Majesty to bring me to see you, just to ask the Queen Mother to give me a chance, let me find out what is going on with the Queen Mother, so as to prove her innocence." ”
Hearing this, the Queen Mother's face looked a little better, nodded, and she softened her voice and said: "Qingluan, it's not that the mourning family doesn't believe you, but the queen is now pregnant and is still a child of His Majesty, and the mourning family can't ignore it." If you can find out the truth, the mourning family will not only thank you personally, but also reward you......"
"Don't say that, the Queen Mother, it's all what I should do."
Where would Luo Qingluan not know the seriousness of the matter, but fortunately, Su Yi had woken up, although she was still a little weak, but the important thing was that there was no problem with the child in her womb.
After telling the Queen Mother about the situation, Luo Qingluan said: "Please Your Majesty release my girl Daiyue, I want to ask about the situation at that time." Glancing around at the five women who had retreated to the side, she said lightly: "Please also ask a few ladies not to leave, I have something to ask you." ”
As soon as she finished speaking, Li Shuyun's face changed, just now the Queen Mother was also the most suspicious of her, and now Luo Qingluan said the same thing when she came, it was clear that she wanted to frame her, how could she watch this woman pit herself?
"Your Majesty, the concubine is really wronged, where will we murder the queen!" Li Shuyun looked at Luo Qingluan hatefully: "The queen mother obviously fell into a coma after eating the things you sent, how can she pull us up?" Your Majesty, you have to call the shots for us......"
The other women also knelt down in unison: "Your Majesty, you have to be the master for us!" ”
Nangong Qing was upset, but before the facts were clear, everyone was suspicious, but there was no evidence. What's more, these women have just entered the palace, he doesn't know about it at all, let alone be lucky, just thinking that the mother's family behind them has good power, and he can't blame it casually.
"Get up."
Nangong Qing said in a deep voice: "I and the Queen Mother will never wronged people casually, but if they really do it, then I will not spare it." Murdering the queen is a capital crime! ”
The women were shocked when they heard this, and they trembled: "Your Majesty Shengming." ”
Soon, Dai Yue was brought up by the palace maid, and Luo Qingluan saw that she was not wronged, but her expression was a little timid, which reassured her.
"Miss, I really don't have ......"
Dai Yue was just about to cry, her little face turned white with fright, and Luo Qingluan immediately comforted her: "Don't worry, Dai Yue, I must believe you." The dim sum was originally sent by me to you, and I also ate it, there is no problem at all, how could I not believe you? ”
"Who knows if it's going to be a midway swap?"
Suddenly, a yin and yang strange voice sounded next to him: "Moreover, Princess Chu, what you try may not be the same as what the queen mother eats." Besides, you said you ate it, and we didn't see it. ”
Wen Wan was very unhappy, and her delicate face was full of gloom.
When it came to the road of entering the palace as a concubine, she really had no choice. I admired Your Majesty, but Her Majesty only married the queen, and there has been no intention of expanding the harem, and finally this time the Queen Mother made an order, and she finally had a chance, begging her father and mother to agree, and sent her into the palace.
originally thought that with her beauty and means, how could she get His Majesty's favor, although she heard that Queen Su Yi was pregnant on the day of the selection, she was still very jealous for a while, but soon she wanted to open it.
The queen is pregnant, and she just can't serve His Majesty, isn't it her best chance?
Although there were several other people who entered the palace with her, and their beauty was not inferior to her, Wen Wan believed that she was special, and as long as she seized the opportunity, she would definitely be able to hook His Majesty's heart.
She just needs one chance.
Who knows, not only did the opportunity not come, but she encountered bad luck, and she was implicated by Luo Qingluan.
Wen Wan hated it, how could she be so unlucky? Seeing that Luo Qingluan was obviously the most suspicious, but she was tolerated by the Queen Mother and Her Majesty, and she still believed her, she was so jealous.
There were four other people who had the same thoughts as Wen Wan, and several of them looked at each other, each with different thoughts.
After listening to Wen Wan's words, Luo Qingluan was not in a hurry: "Wen Cairen is a little restless, I said that I will definitely find out the reason today, and I will definitely give an explanation to Your Majesty and the Queen Mother." When you bother me to ask, don't interrupt and don't affect my train of thought, thank you. ”
Her eyes were cold, but she didn't dare to speak again.
sneered, she wanted to see how Luo Qingluan found out the truth.
"Daiyue ......"
Luo Qingluan gave her a reassuring look, and said softly: "You first tell me what happened after entering the palace, who you met, believe it, as long as you don't speak, I will definitely give you a clean slate." ”
Dai Yue leaned over, suppressed the nervousness in her heart, and nodded: "This morning, the slave maid made a plum cake, and the young lady tasted a piece and said that it tasted good, so let me send some to the queen." After I handed the young lady's sign and went in, I was taken into the palace, but halfway through, the father-in-law Liu who led the way suddenly said that I should wait in the same place for a while, and he would come back immediately. But Gonggong Liu walked for a long time and didn't come back, and the slave didn't know the way, at this time, Li Baolin came......"
