Chapter 536: Gambling
Seeing that Bofu seemed to be a little shaken in her explanation of herself, Xiuxiu knew that she had made the right move, she could have quietly and Mrs. Chu very close, but she publicized the matter, and used Mrs. Wei, who has always had a big mouth, to spread this rumor for her, she admitted that it was her own idea to instigate Mrs. Chu to kill Empress Shen, but it was also her own idea to deny that she framed Empress Bao, she could have relied on Mrs. Chu for all this matter, Xiuxiu looked at Bofu and explained, " This matter is the time when Mrs. Chu informed me of the murder of Empress Shen, I originally wanted to ask Father Yu Shi to go to stop Mrs. Chu at the same time and arrest her, but I didn't expect that she never trusted me from the beginning, so she told me this matter just to borrow my hand to eradicate Empress Bao, and you and I are both caught up in her calculations! ”
Bofu gritted his teeth with hatred, and the friction of his teeth made a "crunch" sound, "What a Mrs. Chu!" His hands clenched into fists, and he stared viciously at somewhere on the ground, "If I don't kill her, I'll sit in vain on this prince's throne!" With that, he turned around and walked out of the house in a rage. Xiuxiu thought that not long after Bofu left, Ji Gongyan would come to question the same words, but he didn't expect that Ji Gongyan was not Bofu, after he beat Yu Shifu and others, he sat alone in the Xiande Hall for a while, and someone came in and asked, "King?" Do you need to go to the East Palace to see the queen? ”
Ji Gongyan suddenly came back to his senses, looked at the person who was talking to him and pondered for a long time, and then slowly stood up with the table and said in a low and somewhat hoarse voice, "Let's go to Youyang Palace first!" ”
"Youyang Palace?" After asking, he watched Ji Gongyan walk towards the door, he hurriedly followed closely, but Ji Gongyan said in a tired voice, "No need to follow, the widow will go alone!" As soon as he said that, he stepped out, leaving behind him without knowing what to do, so he had to watch Ji Gongyan go farther and farther, farther and farther...... After thinking about this matter, whether it has anything to do with Xiuxiu or not, it must be inseparable from Mrs. Chu, Mrs. Chu and Xiuxiu's personality Ji Gongyan is very clear, instead of asking Xiuxiu, it is better to ask Mrs. Chu, the people of Youyang Palace came to announce that the king is coming, Mrs. Chu's heart twitched, she felt that her heart was beating fast, and she took a few deep breaths, she had long expected that Ji Gongyu would definitely settle accounts with herself, but she didn't expect it to come so quickly, she hadn't thought about how to answer.
"See the King!" The voice at the door pulled Mrs. Chu's thoughts back from her contemplation, and Mrs. Chu suddenly came back to her senses and looked at Mrs. Chu and said, "Go to the dormitory!" ”
"Yes!" Mrs. Chu responded, followed Ji Gongyan's big stride, took two steps and trotted two steps to catch up, and after arriving at the dormitory, Ji Gongyan stood by the window and looked at the scenery outside the window, turned her back to Mrs. Chu and said in a dull voice, "Close the door!" ”
"Yes!" Mrs. Chu closed the door and pretended to be relaxed and adjusted her tone, "What is the king here for today?" ”
"What do you say?" Ji Gongyan turned to look at Mrs. Chu and asked.
"I said......" Mrs. Chu's face was embarrassed for a moment, and then she immediately changed her words, "How did the concubine know what happened to the king's sudden arrival?" ”
"Don't you know what happened in the palace today?" Ji Gongyu asked.
Mrs. Chu knelt on the ground with a "bang", originally she didn't plan to hide this matter from Ji Gongyan, and she also knew that she couldn't hide it, she could come and go in and out of this harem at will, and there was no second person besides her who poisoned Empress Shen. It's this hand that she can't do, and she asked others to poison and kill Empress Shen, and she can also blame her on her head, that is, she explained to Ji Gongyan that this King of Zhou will never believe what she said, and then she will really be speechless, at least now she can be regarded as taking the initiative, "The concubine heard that after noon, Yu Shangqing bumped into the murderer in Shenhou's palace and arrested her!" ”
"Who did the murderer?" Ji Gongyan asked again.
"It's not...... It is a compliment to be framed and blamed. Mrs. Chu changed her words.
"The widow just wants to know who did it to Empress Shen!" Ji Gongyu asked.
"The king wants to attack the state of Chu, and the concubines are ...... The concubine ...... "Mrs. Chu was anxious to explain but couldn't think of words, he didn't expect that Ji Gongyan would come to Youyang Palace to ask him for the first time, her explanation made Ji Gongyan lose patience, and asked in a roaring voice, "The widow asked who you were to do to Empress Shen?" ”
"Yes...... It's a concubine! Mrs. Chu replied, crying as she spoke, fear enveloped her heart, and she shuddered, "But the concubine also thought it was ...... because of the alliance between Shen and Chu."
"Can poison be saved?" Ji Gongyu continued to ask.
Mrs. Chu pursed her lips and was reluctant to answer, which made Ji Gongyan understand that Empress Shen could be saved, so she coldly dropped a sentence, "If you don't want to be buried with you, go and save Empress Shen to the widow!" Otherwise, the three of you will be martyred for Empress Shen together......" He threw down this sentence and was about to get out of this house, Mrs. Chu rushed over and hugged Ji Gongyan's legs, tears and snot were wiped on his body, she kept crying and praying, "King, although Empress Shen was murdered by the concubine, she was also instructed by Empress Bao, but the concubine didn't know why Empress Shen would collide with Father Yu Shi when she went to Empress Shen's palace!" ”
Ji Gongyan's brows furrowed slightly, staring at Mrs. Chu under him, her hands clenched tightly.
"What the concubine said is the truth!" Mrs. Chu insisted, "The concubine knows that the king doesn't believe the concubine's words, but the queen said that as long as she kills Shenhou, she can break the alliance between Chu and Shen, and she promised the concubine to protect the life of the concubine, although the poison was given by the concubine, but the king thought that the concubine went to poison and murder Shenhou, and Shenhou would obediently eat what I sent?" The only person in this harem who can win the trust of Empress Shen is Empress Bao, the king is blinded by his love for her, and you don't know what kind of person Empress Bao is! ”
"Enough!" Ji Gongyan shouted, the voice was so loud that it frightened Mrs. Chu who was lying on the ground and holding her thighs, Mrs. Chu suddenly let go of the hands holding Ji Gongyan, and looked at the angry lion in a daze, his brows were tightly locked, his face was dark, and the blue tendons on his arms were wrapped around his arms, which was terrifying, Mrs. Chu took a deep breath, "If the king doesn't want to expose this matter, the concubine can admit her guilt and die for the queen, and the concubine also knows that the king will definitely let the concubine do this, and the reason why the concubine wants to tell this matter, It's just that I don't want to die. When she said this, she sat on the ground and wept bitterly, like an innocent child, and with that delicate appearance, she looked like an innocent child.
It wasn't the first time he wanted her to die, but several times she didn't really die, and he saved his life.
Ji Gongyan sighed, squatted down and looked at Mrs. Chu who was crying, "The widow didn't think about killing you. ”
"The king doesn't have to comfort his concubines,......" Mrs. Chu looked at Ji Gongyan and said, "Every woman in our harem has witnessed the king's feelings for Empress Bao with the happiness of her life, but has the king ever thought that in such a harem where everyone is like a poisonous snake, Empress Bao can not only retreat with her whole body, but even let the people who murdered her end up with their lives, if she didn't leave a few hands, how could it be?" Empress Bao wants the concubine to kill Empress Shen may not be for herself, she is just fighting for the best chance of winning for the king's southern expedition, she said that she can keep the concubine is not casually said, maybe in the palace of Empress Shen met Yu Shangqing and asked him to break this matter is to count the death of Empress Shen without proof, she is stigmatized, and the concubine will not be punished, but in fact, the whole world knows that it is the concubine who poisoned the Empress Shen, and the king will not touch her because he knows this matter! ”
Ji Gongyan felt that his brain was a little confused, and suddenly felt that his harem was a treacherous mess, and he didn't know who to believe and who not to believe? Empress Shen once asked herself, if Bao Xi killed someone, if Bofu killed someone, would he treat Bao Xi like he treated Shen Hou's mother and son? It seems that everyone sees this indispensable compliment very clearly, as if they are covered in their bones...... But the truth may be that only she understands Bao Xi, but others don't understand her.
To believe or not to believe is like a gamble. Who wins and who loses, in fact, sometimes it doesn't make sense at all.
"Enough, there is no need to say any more, this matter is naturally known in the hearts of the people!" Ji Gongyan said this, but in fact, he was not sure at all, he looked at Mrs. Chu for a long time, and suddenly said, "Go and report it, the widow stayed here for the night today!" ”
"What?" Mrs. Chu was taken aback, looking at Ji Gongyan and feeling very surprised, I don't know if she made up this statement successfully persuaded Ji Gongyan to believe in herself, but her heart was inevitably full of joy, and she hurriedly walked out of the door to inform the people outside the door to go to Xuanfang, and then released water for the king. This night, Ji Gongyan went to Youyang Palace to renew Mrs. Chu's matter, and the rumor was boiling, which shocked many people and puzzled them, especially Xiuxiu in Huachen Palace, who was full of doubts in her heart, and couldn't understand why things had come to this point, "Go to Youyang Palace to find out the situation!" ”
"Yes!" After hearing the words, he turned around and hurriedly ran towards the door, just bumped into the Bao Xi who entered the door, the whole person's face was pale for a while, and it took a while to spit out the word "Bao Hou" from his mouth, after hearing someone call Bao Hou, Xiu Xiu turned around to look at Bao Xi who entered the door, his brows were slightly together, and he called the next person to go down and looked at Bao Xi and asked, "Bao Hou is here to ask the teacher?" ”
"Not really!" Bao Xi found a comfortable place and sat down.
"Oh?" Xiuxiu asked rhetorically, "You were framed and killed Empress Shen, so you will naturally think that I and Mrs. Chu teamed up to frame you, and now you are not here to ask the guilt of Xingshi, what else can you do?" However, if the queen wants to use me as a breakthrough and clear up her grievances, I am afraid that it will be a trip in vain, and I am at a loss for this matter, and the king still asks this Mrs. Chu to sleep overnight in Youyang Palace, but I am afraid that I will also be put on a position and borrow my hand to frame you! ”
"I know......" Bao Xi nodded.
