Chapter 179: Biting each other
"What the hell is going on, you can't tell our family, let's go to the Queen Mother to argue!"
Liu Rang snorted coldly, directly blocking Mama Hou's mouth and directly pulling people in front of the Queen Mother.
"The Queen Mother, the slave maid is wronged, and the Shangyi Bureau is wronged!"
The moment Mama Hou saw the Queen Mother, she immediately sobered up, changed her sitting to kneeling, and kowtowed "dong dong".
The Queen Mother looked angry, sat on her head with a calm face, her eyes were cold, and her eyes were almost like looking at a dead person.
"In front of the Queen Mother, how can you be allowed to shout like this!"
Lamei stepped forward, raised her hand, and slapped Mama Hou's cheek regardless of it, which immediately made Mama Hou stop her mouth, but her heart became more and more suspicious.
"The mourning family asks you, that palace maid named Xiu'er, but is it from your Shangyi Bureau?"
After Mama Hou calmed down, the Queen Mother asked in a deep voice.
"Back to the Queen Mother's words, it is exactly ......"
Mama Hou endured the humiliation in her heart, and said in a low voice: "Xiu'er is a new show girl who has entered the palace this year, and she is silent on weekdays, but she is also a quiet character, but who knew that she would hide such a rebellious mind, she, she ......"
Having said this, Mama Hou suddenly felt that something was wrong, if she confessed her guilt, wouldn't she still have to be involved in the Shangyi Bureau?
So he hurriedly changed his words again: "It's just that the Queen Mother, Xiu'er, a little girl with little knowledge, how can she know the birth date of the Son of Heaven?" Don't talk about her, even the slaves and maids are not qualified to know, so there must be a secret in this matter, I don't know who deliberately borrowed Xiu'er's hand to harm the emperor, and by the way, she also dragged the Shangyi Bureau into the water, please let the Queen Mother know! ”
This is true, the birthday of the people in the royal family will not be passed on, although the birthday of the prince and grandson will be celebrated every year, and those who have a heart will definitely remember it, but they will not know the time, and in this witch incident, the time is clearly written on the doll's body.
These words really made the Queen Mother have a cluster of doubts in her heart: there must be someone behind this Xiu'er, and this person must be very status, not an ordinary eunuch palace maid!
Seeing that the Queen Mother's face seemed to be dark again, Mama Hou breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, as long as the Queen Mother could listen to her words, even if she would still be angry with the Shangyi Bureau for a while, but when the truth of the matter was clarified, the Shangyi Bureau still had a glimmer of life.
"So what's unusual about this show? Or who do you get close to on weekdays? You are the head of the Shangyi Bureau, you know it! ”
The Queen Mother's two eyes stared at Mama Hou deadly, and suddenly Mama Hou felt a majestic aura rushing towards her.
"Return, back to the Queen Mother's words, this Xiu'er heard that it was because her parents died, and she had no brothers and sisters, so she came to the palace because she couldn't get by, and I didn't see her have close contact with anyone on weekdays......"
Mama Hou frowned, as if she suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly raised her head and said to the Queen Mother: "The slave has remembered!" One night not long ago, the slave and maid couldn't sleep because they had eaten a lot at night, and their stomachs were really uncomfortable, so they took advantage of the moonlight to go out for a walk, but when the slave and maid were under the laurel tree in the imperial garden, they suddenly heard someone whispering......
The Queen Mother frowned, although she felt a little impatient, but she was afraid that she would miss some important news, so she patiently continued to listen to Mama Hou.
By the moonlight, the slave quietly looked behind the rockery, and it turned out that this Xiu'er was whispering to a eunuch...... It is said that at that hour, it was also problematic for the palace maid and the eunuch to be so close, but the slave maid was soft-hearted for a while, and felt that Xiu'er's girl was not easy, so she didn't come forward to stop it......"
It is not uncommon for palace maids and eunuchs to form pairs, and I think back then, Mama Hou and Gonggong Lu almost came to this point.
Although the palace maid is nominally the emperor's woman, there are too many women, and the emperor can't take care of it at all, so the boss also turns a blind eye and almost does not interfere in this situation.
"That eunuch is actually a slave and maid, he was the righteous son of the great eunuch in the palace in the early years, and because of the rebellion case, the big eunuch was involved so he was given to die, but I didn't expect his young son to survive......"
Speaking of this, Mama Hou raised her head and glanced at the Queen Mother cautiously.
"You mean that Xiu'er is very likely to have been instructed by this eunuch?"
The Queen Mother frowned and couldn't wait to ask, "Then who is this eunuch?" Are you still in the palace now? ”
"Back to the words of the Queen Mother......"
Mama Hou was overjoyed in her heart, and hurriedly said: "This person's name is Lu Lu, and the slave maid can't be sure whether Xiu'er was instructed by him, but he does have a motive to do this, because as far as the slave maid knows, he has never forgotten his father-in-law, and all he wants is to avenge his father-in-law!" ”
"Come on, go and bring Lu Lu to the mourning family!"
As soon as Mama Hou's words fell, the Queen Mother shouted angrily and sent people out.
Mama Hou's eyes flashed with a touch of pride, and there was a feeling of revenge in her heart.
In fact, how have I ever seen Xiu'er and Lu Lu together? It's just a nonsense to coax the Queen Mother, with only one purpose, to pull Lu Lu into the water.
After a while, Lu Lu appeared in front of the Queen Mother and Mama Hou.
"Lu Lu, do you have a personal affair with that palace maid named Xiu'er?!"
The Queen Mother went straight to the point and directly reprimanded coldly.
"Back to the Queen Mother's words, the slave was wronged! The slave didn't know the one named Xiu'er at all, it must have been Mama Hou who deliberately bit the minion! ”
Lu Lu has always been close to Liu Rang, and at this time, he naturally learned what happened from Liu Rang's mouth.
"Do you dare to say that you are not haunted by the death of your stepfather?"
Mama Hou sneered and looked straight at Lu Lu: "Who went to the room where I was detained just now and made a loud noise, and said something to avenge my father-in-law or something, Lu Lu, why are you not admitting it now in front of the Queen Mother?" ”
"What does this have to do with my stepfather? Mama Hou, don't want to detain such a cauldron on me! Over the years, I have worked hard in the palace and have never made any mistakes, even if the Empress Dowager knows it! ”
Lu Lu naturally would not easily let Mama Hou put the problem on her head, and for a while the two argued, no one was convinced, and the white eyebrows and red eyes of the argument made the Queen Mother listen to it for a while.
"Shut up!"
The Queen Mother slapped the armrest of the phoenix chair and looked at the two people angrily: "Could it be that the mourning family asked you to come here to fight?" If you dare to be so presumptuous, no matter who is right or wrong, the mourning family will pull down the 20th board first! ”
As soon as these words came out, the two of them were silent at the same time, but the expressions on their faces were still unconvinced.
But at this time, suddenly a little eunuch glanced at Gonggong Liu, who was watching his nose and nose and heart, Gonggong Liu raised his eyebrows, secretly glanced at the Queen Mother, and hurriedly turned around and walked out of the main hall.
"Father-in-law, there's news over there......"
The little eunuch saw that Father-in-law Liu's face was uncertain, and hurriedly stepped forward and whispered a few words in Father-in-law Liu's ear.
"Really?!"
Gonggong Liu's pupils shrank sharply, and his eyes stared at the little eunuch tightly.
"Oh, my father-in-law Liu, how dare we talk about such a big thing? It was because the little one knew that this matter was very important, so he didn't dare to make his own decisions, so he hurriedly came to report to your old man...... Do you think you have to report this matter to the Queen Mother? ”
The little eunuch looked tentatively at Gonggong Liu.
"This ......"
Father-in-law Liu's face was difficult, but he didn't expect that there was such a reason for this.
If you go back and find a substitute for the dead ghost, then doesn't this master want to blame himself for talking too much?
A hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes, and Liu Rang didn't know what to do for a while.
struggled inwardly for a while, but saw Lamei come out of the hall in a hurry, saw Liu Rang standing outside the door, and hurriedly whispered: "Why have you been out for so long?" The Queen Mother Li Tou asked, come in with me and talk back! ”
Liu Rang made up his mind at this time, stabilized his mind, and hurriedly entered the main hall.
"Queen Mother, the slave just got a message, I don't know if I want to tell you......"
Liu Rang leaned very low, and said tentatively in the Queen Mother's ear.
"Bastard!"
The Queen Mother angrily reprimanded Liu Rang: "When is this now, if there is news, why do you have to hide it?!" Now there are so many messy things in the palace, and it is a plot to kill the emperor, you, you still have to come to mourn at this time! ”
"The Queen Mother ...... Anger"
Liu Rang hurriedly knelt on the ground, his face was panicked: "How dare a slave deceive the Queen Mother?" It's just that someone came to pass on the words just now, and the slave didn't know if it was true or not, after all, this matter was too much, too unbelievable! ”
"Father-in-law Liu, now that your eyebrows are already burning, don't sell Guanzi anymore, if you have anything to say, hurry up and tell the Queen Mother!"
Lamei couldn't listen anymore, and then interjected.
"Yes......"
Liu Rang responded with a sad face, stood up and whispered in the ear of the Queen Mother: "I just told the little girl who lived in a room in Xiu'er, one day I saw Xiu'er talking to the big palace maid bell next to Concubine Yang, and in addition, I also found a hairpin of Concubine Yang in Xiu'er's baggage......"
"Concubine Yang?!"
The Queen Mother's eyes widened, and she suddenly felt a little incredulous!
"So the slave didn't dare to say this, not for fear of offending Concubine Yang, but for fear that if it was just that little palace maid who opened her mouth and hurt the feelings of the Queen Mother and Concubine Yang, the slave really deserved to die......"
Liu Rang's face was sad, but he really looked sincere.
The expression on the Queen Mother's face was unpredictable, she thought about it again and again, and gritted her teeth and said: "No matter who is the mastermind behind the scenes, this matter, the mourning family must investigate to the end!" ”
