Chapter 210: King Qin Returns
Shao Yanjin admitted that he admired Princess Qin.
The county lord of Yu'an seemed to be smiling, his pretty face was distorted hideously, and Gu Qingyi had no expression except for a short period of surprise, and her indifference made the county lord of Yu'an even more angry, and the feelings she had drawn from were disdained by the other party, which made her as ridiculous as a clown jumping off the beam.
She also knelt down, "Grandfather, you let people know at a check, Princess Qin also admires Shao Yanjin, the two of them are in love with each other, and King Qin's cousin is not in the capital, so he secretly has a head and tail, my cousin was born and died for an errand, but she cuckolded her cousin in the capital, you must make the decision for your cousin." ”
The words were all for the King of Qin, Emperor Zhaoming originally thought that they were looking for trouble with the Qin Palace, and most of the suspicions were dissipated, although Gu Qingyi was the princess of Qin, she was only the princess of Qin.
As a pillow person, the queen is very familiar with Emperor Zhaoming, she noticed the change in Emperor Zhaoming's mood, and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, Yu'an and Yongyi Hou Shizi have a bad relationship, it is inevitable that there are extreme words, misunderstanding the innocence of Princess Qin and the prince, the concubine has found the slave maid that Princess Qin used to serve, you might as well ask her?" ”
"But, preach people up."
The queen pursed a smile on the corner of her lips, and said to the palace people beside her, "Go and call Concubine Gu over." ”
Concubine Gu, Concubine Gu, Wen Yin.
The queen is confident, as if she has grasped something, Gu Qingyi's heart sank straight down, since she moved into her cousin's body, she has taken care of the people around her very tightly, unless she contains henchmen such as Dongqiu Yan, she can't get close, and naturally she won't let people know about private things, but she doesn't know how the cousin's previous subordinates don't know, and maybe there are people placed by the Zhang family around her......
Gu Wenyin came soon, she changed a lot, she didn't have the shyness and happiness of the bride, but there was a lingering gloom and haze between her eyebrows, I think it was not satisfactory in the East Palace - not to mention that there are already princesses and concubines Shi in the East Palace, the means of the two are extraordinary, Gu Wenyin's Taoism cannot be compared with it at all, let's just say that the time when she entered the palace is not right, recently the prince has been anxious because of the disaster relief silver, I am afraid that he has no heart to deal with her, there is no need to repeat how difficult it is to live in the palace without a favored woman.
Gu Qingyi didn't care how Gu Wenyin was doing in the East Palace, she just glanced at it lightly, and her eyes quickly fixed on a green-clothed palace maid behind her, the palace maid lowered her eyebrows and buried her head very low, but she still recognized it - her name was Chunming, and she was one of her cousin's personal maids like Han Dong, and then she was taken away by the Zhang family for some reason, and her cousin didn't know the inside story, and now it seems that Chunming should know something.
As it turned out, she was not badly expected.
After Gu Wenyin saluted in a proper manner, the queen sang a double reed play with Gu Wenyin, and Gu Wenyin explained very cooperatively, "The palace maid Chunming next to the concubine is the former personal maid of Princess Qin, and she has been serving her for six or seven years, and then because she knew the secret that she shouldn't know, she was alienated and trampled by Princess Qin, and the concubine couldn't bear it, so she asked her over, and later entered the palace with the concubine as a dowry. ”
The queen made a strange look, "Oh, what secret do you know as a palace maid?" ”
"Your Majesty, Niangniang, please take a look." Gu Qingyi took out a piece of poetry from her sleeve, "Princess Qin admires Yongyi and Hou Shizi, and wrote a lot of poems in private to express her affection. ”
The poem was presented to the queen, and when the queen saw it, the corner of her lips provoked a smile and handed it to Emperor Zhaoming, "Your Majesty, you see, this poem is really written with sincerity, and it seems that Princess Qin's feelings for the prince of Yongyi are also very touching." ”
When Emperor Zhaoming saw it, his face immediately darkened, and he threw the poem to Gu Qingyi's side, and asked coldly, "Princess Qin, what do you explain?" ”
The poem fluttered over and landed at his feet, Gu Qingyi bent down to pick it up, and on it was the familiar hairpin flower Xiaokai, which was indeed his cousin's handwriting, and it was written "Yue Ren Song", "The mountains have trees and branches, and the heart is happy", this was nothing, but the cousin also wrote Shao Yanjin's name.
The evidence is ironclad, and nothing more than that.
But so what? Gu Qingyi smiled faintly and saluted Emperor Zhaoming, "Father, the handwriting on this poem is forged, and it is not the handwriting of the son-in-law." ”
"You talk nonsense!" Gu Wenyin retorted for the first time, "This is your handwriting!" You dare to bully the king, what a boldness! ”
Gu Qingyi didn't pay attention to Gu Wenyin, but looked at Emperor Zhaoming calmly, not at all weak-hearted and timid, Emperor Zhaoming raised his eyebrows, and said, "Words are like people, since Princess Qin doesn't admit that it is her own handwriting, then write a new word." Come and wait. ”
The clever eunuch immediately presented pen and ink and bookcase, Gu Qingyi dipped in ink, and waved ink on the white rice paper, and wrote it in hairpin flowers, the same "Yue Ren Song", the poem is graceful and beautiful, with the sorrow and inferiority of girlish love, but Gu Qingyi's handwriting is strong and powerful, free and smooth, broad and relieved, judging from the handwriting, it is clear that it is like two people.
The contrast is so obvious, as Princess Qin said, that poem was forged.
Shao Yanjin hid the untimely regret in his heart and breathed a sigh of relief, but Gu Wenyin didn't believe it at all, her face was pale, "Impossible, the poem is clearly your handwriting, you must have changed your handwriting, Your Majesty, Princess Qin deliberately deceived you, please be aware of it." ”
"Enough!" Emperor Zhaoming scolded unhappily, "What does it look like to shout, you and Princess Qin are both sisters of the Gu family, she cleared her suspicions, instead of rejoicing, you stalked and wanted to continue to smear the reputation of your sister, and your conduct was really unbearable." Come on, take Gu down, I don't want to see her again. ”
Gu Wenyin didn't expect this development, her face turned pale with fright, her whole body was sore, and she sat on the ground with a puff, and the eunuch went over to pull people, and she reacted in hindsight, looked at the queen pleadingly, and asked her to help intercede. The queen was annoyed, she didn't pay attention to it at all, Gu Wenyin's heart was like ashes, and she finally realized that the queen was just using her as a pawn, and now that she was abandoned, she naturally had no value in pleading.
The crown princess who was disgusted by the emperor, what awaited her would be an abyss.
Gu Wenyin returned with a feather, Gu Qingyi cleared her suspicion, but the county lord of Yu'an was unwilling, "Grandfather, the poem is fake, but it doesn't mean that she doesn't like Shao Yanjin and hasn't done anything out of the ordinary, the child in her belly is proof!" I heard that my cousin was seriously injured after being rescued, how could she get pregnant if she didn't have enough sperm? The child in her belly is definitely not her cousin's. ”
Princess Chengping, who had been silent, also spoke, "Yu'an is right, Princess Qin is the royal daughter-in-law, but regardless of the etiquette, she took dozens of guards out of Beijing without permission, and stayed together day and night, there is a difference between men and women, wouldn't there be anything wrong?" It can be seen that she is restless by nature, and it is not impossible to take advantage of King Qin's absence to secretly tie up with Shao Yan Jinzhu. ”
The mother and daughter opened their eyes and said nonsense, Gu Qingyi's face was as cold as ice water, "Father Emperor Mingjian, the daughter-in-law only conceived the child after leaving for Beijing, and it has been three months now, and she has been staying in the carriage on the way back to Beijing, which General Li and the accompanying soldiers can testify, after returning to Beijing, the son went back to the Qin Palace, and he didn't even see the face of the brave and righteous prince, where did it come from?" Please ask your father to make decisions for your sons, and give your sons a clean slate. ”
If he believes that Gu Qingyi is innocent, then everything is worry-free, but if he has the slightest suspicion, not only will the child's bloodline be questioned in the future, but I am afraid that even she will not be able to die well - how can a woman who ruined the reputation of the royal family stay in the world anymore?
The queen also understands this truth, although she escaped by Gu Qingyi's change of handwriting and failed to beat her to death, but there is still a way, just like now, she persuaded the emperor, "Your Majesty, the speculation about whether the child in the womb of Princess Qin is the king of Qin has been spread in the capital, if you don't make a decision, I'm afraid it will damage the reputation of the royal family, but we don't know who the child in Princess Qin's belly is, and it's not appropriate to judge indiscriminately, depending on the concubine, why don't you let her stay in the Zongren Mansion for the time being, and wait until the king of Qin returns to Beijing." , and ask again, what do you think? ”
Zongren's Mansion is a place where the clan is imprisoned, to put it bluntly, it is also a prison, Gu Qingyi went in to stay for a while, not to mention her reputation, but the people inside can make her have a miscarriage if they move their hands and feet, and the queen's proposal can not be described as vicious.
However, Emperor Zhaoming felt that the queen's proposal was good, Princess Qin stayed in the Zongren Mansion, which could show the world that the royal family attached importance to bloodline orthodoxy, if Princess Qin was really pregnant with King Qin's child, when King Qin came back, it would naturally be revealed to the world, and there would be no reputation problem. Otherwise, just let Princess Qin go back like this, and there is no problem for others to only treat her as her child, and when King Qin comes back and find out that it is not, then it will be too late.
Even if Gu Qingyi is still pregnant, she is vulnerable in the matter of royal face.
Gu Qingyi finally understood the deep meaning of the queen's game, the other party didn't care if she could be convicted, it was best to be convicted on the spot, if not, it was enough to just lock her up in the Zongren Mansion - the Qin Wangfu was heavily guarded and couldn't do it, but it didn't mean that the Zongren Mansion was also impregnable.
The other party wanted to use her and the child in her belly to threaten King Qin.
Gu Qingyi's hands and feet were cold, and he listened to Emperor Zhaoming's indifferent and ruthless voice resounding in the hall, "Princess Qin is pregnant, her bloodline is unknown, in order to prove her innocence, she will temporarily detain the Zongren Mansion and wait for King Qin to ......"
"Not necessarily!" Suddenly, a condensed male voice was about to show Emperor Ming's statement, and the words were clear, "The child in the princess's womb belongs to this king." ”
Gu Qingyi Huo Ran raised his head, looked at the tall body coming from the backlight, and suddenly burst into tears.
