Above the main hall, there were many shadows, and the dim halo made everything fall into an ambiguous situation. Zheng Boyou's flickering eyes were faintly shining, but other than that, everything looked very bleak. Bao Xi looked at Zheng Boyou, but he tried his best to suppress the anger in his chest, and was silent for a long time.
"Zheng Situ?" Bao Xi opened his mouth and shouted.
"Niangniang," Zheng Situ saluted, his face cold and different from usual.
"Zheng Situ came this time, why did he come here?" Bao Xi looked at him and asked, always feeling that something was not quite right.
"The Tai Hospital belongs to the management of Dazaigong, and today I heard that Sang Niangniang had some problems, so I came to take a look." Zheng Boyou said, in response to this matter, he didn't press the table before he finished speaking, but mentioned another stubble, "There are still a few ministers who come to visit today and ask me to hand over a few letters to the king." ”
"About the killing of the demon concubine?" Bao Xi looked at Zheng Boyou and asked.
"Not bad!" Zheng Boyou's eyes widened as he spoke, trying to detect the clues on Bao Xi's face from such a dim light.
"When an adult is an official in the court, he always has to have some colleagues and comrades, but I am afraid that I can't refuse!" Bao Xi said, as if she was talking about other people's things, making people wonder if she really didn't know that this matter was related to her, or just pretending not to care, or really didn't care about this matter?
"I refused!" Zheng Boyou's four words are loud.
Bao Xi looked up at Zheng Boyou, as if he couldn't understand the meaning of the words, "So what?" ”
"So I regret it now, that you framed Sangzhu in order to preserve your position, so that she could not return at night; If the matter is exposed, you will kill her and push her down the stairs behind. Saying that you are a demon concubine is really worthy of this name, if I have a concubine like you in the Great Zhou Dynasty, how can I continue the century-old foundation? Zheng Boyou accused him sentence by sentence, he was more angry than ever, and he couldn't calm down after repeated attempts, but he couldn't figure out what the reason for his anger was?
"My lord praised it falsely, I don't remember when I was made a concubine?" Bao Xi looked at Zheng Boyou and said, step by step, his fingers crossed the buttons of his clothes, and gently untied them, "Zheng Situ wants to see if Bao Xi's shoulder has a birthmark, so as to verify his body?" If not, can the ministers stop bothering in the future? The dress on her body was already crumbling, as long as Bao Xi shook it slightly, her skin would be reflected in Zheng Boyou's eyes, his face was flushed, his breathing was rapid, he took a few steps back, and almost fell to the ground.
"What are you going to do?" Zheng Boyou said in a panic.
"What do you say?" Bao Xi's eyes were full of charm, just like the enchantress recorded in the ancient books, Zheng Boyou lowered his head and staggered away from this hall, out of the door and panting in shock, holding on to the railing of the eaves outside the door, bending down and lowering his head, frowning, his face was not spread, he grew up from a young age, Zheng Boyou has experienced a lot of things, and there are not many times when he is so flustered at this moment, Bao Xi's body is like having a ghostly aura, which can pull the people around her into deep water, and she can't breathe.
Seeing Zheng Boyou's departure, Bao Xi turned around and immediately straightened her face, the soft expression just now was gone, and she strode towards Sangzhu's dormitory, Twenty-seven stepped on small steps, followed behind her and asked cautiously, "Niangniang, what happened?" Why did Zheng Situ question you like that? ”
Bao Xi didn't reply, but suddenly pushed open the door of Sangzhu's dormitory, and she really woke up.
"It doesn't seem to be a serious injury," Bao Xi looked at Sangzhu, who was sitting on the bed and was telling the two-day itinerary with the girl, and said, her expression was handed to Bao Xi fiercely, revealing an extremely frightened gaze, the words choked in her throat and she couldn't spit out a word for a long time, and even breathing became a laborious job, Bao Xi stood, waving her sleeves gently, "How many of you go down first?" ”
"But......" Several people looked at Sangzhu, and she shook her head.
Bao Xi's eyes glanced at everyone standing here, like a knife shooting through, several people all lowered their heads and walked quickly towards the door, Bao Xi walked in front of Sang Zhu and sat on the edge of her bed, "I have already sent someone to call the king, the king said that these little things should not bother him, he is still busy in the past two days." ”
Sangzhu looked at Bao Xi, breathing intermittently like a sob.
"Zheng Situ came just now," Bao Xi looked at Sangzhu and continued, carefully observing the color on her face, pale like a dying person, "said some and left again." ”
Sangzhu shook his head, his tongue blocked his lips, and he couldn't even spit out a word.
"You will get better in a few days, remember to thank Lord Shangqing, if he didn't happen to come in when you fell today, I'm afraid that I would have panicked alone." Bao Xi's last sentence was very slow, and even with some indescribable mockery, she held Sangzhu's hand and patted the back of her hand, "Why don't you speak?" ”
"What the hell do you want to do?" Sang Zhu stared at Bao Xi with his eyes and asked with difficulty.
"People say that if you hurt your head, it's always very easy to die, that is, you can't give your life and you can't remember some things," Bao Xi said that the person had already stood up and looked down on Sangzhu, "So you always have to think about one or two things when you speak, that is, if you say something wrong, I naturally won't care about you, but if you embarrass the king, you will be sandwiched between the minister and the harem and have nowhere to stay, and you have seen my fate now." ”
"You wicked woman!" Sangzhu shouted hysterically, "I just want to make everyone in the world look at your femme fatale, and let those civil and military officials above the palace know that their accusations against you are true!" ”
Bao Xi let out a sigh of relief and looked at Sang Zhu, "If I were you, at least I wouldn't say this before I wanted to hurt someone." After she said these words, she turned around and walked towards the door, rubbing her thumb and index finger slowly, as if she was thinking about something, Twenty-seven followed behind Bao Xi and looked at Sangzhu and then at her own mother, wrinkled her nose at Sangzhu and said, "If you don't love Qiongtai Palace, just move to Huachen Palace, anyway, you are also Mrs. Zheng's subordinate, and now you are a concubine, and you are still a lowly subordinate!" ”
"Ah......" Sangzhu picked up the stone pillow on the bed and threw it towards Twenty-seven, and landed with a "boom", but fortunately, Twenty-seven quickly jumped to the side, pointed at Sangzhu and shouted, "You are going to kill for money!" ”
"Get out!" Sangzhu pointed to the door and said.
"If you tell me to stay, I may not be willing!" Twenty-seven said funny, exited the door and closed the door for Sangzhu, and came out to instruct a few people, "You mothers need to recuperate, you guys are so noisy in and out, if you delay Niangniang's illness, you will have a good time in a day or two, but you have this responsibility?" ”
Several people looked at each other, and at this moment, the discord between Bao Xi and Sangzhu seemed to have reached the point of not being hidden, and they didn't know whose side to stand on, in case they stood in the wrong place at this time, the consequences were only unimaginable.
"Wait at the door, you don't do so much work in the main hall, but you want to keep me busy alone?" Twenty-seven reprimanded, quite in the demeanor of the head of the family, and several people shook their heads.
"You several," she began to command, "go and light all the candlesticks in the temple, and whether the king comes or not, the Qiongtai Hall will be lit up every day!" The cleaning things that I didn't do today are now done," he said, pointing to a few people on the other side, "Niangniang is going to bathe and change clothes in a while, you guys go boil some boiling water!" ”
"Yes, Sister Twenty-Seven." Twenty-seven grinned with satisfaction, turned around and looked at the door of the Sangzhu dormitory, and snorted dissatisfiedly, I don't understand how this Sangzhu is obviously the one who beat the rake, how can he be so arrogant?
Human psychology has a very subtle quality, only believe in what they want to believe, if it is said that Sangzhu is a stumbling down the court, the minister will definitely not believe it, but if it is said that Bao Xi pushed Sangzhu downstairs, Ji Gongyan refused to believe it.
……
The dispute between the two concubines of Qiongtai Hall was known to the Manchu Dynasty on the second day, and on the third day, it became a topic of discussion on the streets and alleys.
The entire capital of Ho is talking about the fall from grace and anger of others. This gave those old ministers an excellent reason to play, one by one to petition in the main hall, saying that the jealous woman was immoral, and murdered the concubine, the crime is unforgivable!
"How many," Father Yu Shi stood up with a smile that he had expected a long time ago, and bent down to look at the old ministers who were playing, "But have you seen this with your own eyes?" ”
"That Qiongtai Hall is the place of the harem, how can we see it with our own eyes," the old minister said, "It's just that we have heard it with our own ears, and now everyone is talking about this matter again, and the medical officers of the Tai Hospital have also been in and out of the Qiongtai Hall because of Sang Niangniang's serious injuries in the past few days, is it possible that this matter is still fake?" ”
"It's true that Sang Niangniang was injured," Father Yu Shi twisted his beard and said slowly, "It's just that why can it be seen that it was Bao Niangniang's murder, could it be that Sang Niangniang said it herself?" ”
"According to what Shangqing said, could it be that Sang Niangniang herself fell through her head, and then framed Bao Niangniang?" The old minister snorted coldly.
"That's not necessarily," Yu Shi's father said, "I'm afraid that it hurts the head, and it is inevitable that the memory will be a little confused, Bao Niangniang once asked the old man to send Bao Niang back to Bao Mansion, and I got the news one or two days ago, and yesterday I went to say that it was Bao Niangniang, and I happened to meet the two Niangniang some verbal disputes, and Sang Niangniang took a step back and fell from the high platform." ”
"Oh?" The old minister looked Father Yu Shi up and down, "Lord Shangqing happened to appear in the Qiongtai Hall at that time?" ”
"That's such a coincidence," Father Yu nodded, his eyes narrowed into a line, and he smiled a little.
"But that's not what the lady of the Qiongtai Hall said," the old minister retorted, looking at Father Yu Shi aggressively.
"Which ...... of the Qiongtai Palace" Yu Shi's father wanted this old minister to say the name of the Qiongtai Palace, but who knew that the documents fell from the sky, and the bamboo slips were all smashed in front of several courtiers who were arguing, and several people subconsciously retreated, raised their eyes to look at the king, and knelt down and whispered, "The king, please check clearly!" ”
"How is the flood disaster in Qi State, how is Uncle Zhao taking care of it?" Ji Gongyan squinted at the few courtiers standing below, but no one answered.
"Nanban harassed my Zhou Dynasty border, how is this matter progressing now?" Ji Gongyan asked again, his voice getting deeper and lower, and finally the majestic tone made the hearts of several courtiers tremble, as if the king of the hall had changed overnight.
"A few of you are officials and the people, you don't know anything about the big and small affairs of the day, and you worry about the trivial matters of the widow's family one day, today the concubines are jealous, and tomorrow you will say that the widow has eaten three or two more rice?" Ji Gongyan's voice has not been loud, but there is a sense of gloom and compassion in the hall, so everyone closed their mouths and only Zheng Boyou was left, stepped forward, threw off the robe, pinched the bamboo slips with both hands, and looked at Ji Gongyan, "Qiyu King Weichen has something to play." ”
