Chapter 27: Suspicion

Sang Dance .org Changhe's departure from the palace brought a lot of shock to the entire palace court, and at the same time changed the situation in the harem. The woman who favored the harem is gone, and there are more opportunities for others, and the dispute between Lin Yuan and the favorite concubines such as the Chu family and Wen Concubine has just begun.

Concubine Tian's face was pale, and she didn't answer Concubine Wen's words, but her heart hurt so much that her chest hurt. Everyone knows that she has the most favor, but who knows that the emperor will not allow her to give birth? Tuoba Hong, who was Chinese New Year's Eve at the time, was even more ruthless than eight years ago, and in order to prevent future troubles, he would not give any chance to the daughter of a military general and an important minister like the Chu family.

Concubine Wen mentioned the matter of the main position, and Lin Yuan smiled and said: "It is natural for Concubine Tian to be in charge of the main position of Xianfu Palace. Lord Chu has made great contributions to the emperor, and the emperor cannot overdo it. ”

Tuoba Hong knew that Lin Yuan was from a low background, and his father and brother were even more mediocre, so he heard that her words were quite arrogant, and he hurriedly comforted her: "You don't always envy Concubine Tian. The ruler is long, the inch is short, although you don't have an outstanding father and brother, but where is your intention to serve me worse than that of Tian Concubine? Rest assured, I will not look down on you because of your origins. Now Concubine Tian is the lord of Xianfu Palace, if it weren't for the accident in Jingren Palace, in my heart, you can afford the lord of Jingren Palace. ”

For a while, I remembered the matter of Jingren Palace walking on the water. If you want to talk about this, Tuoba Hong is really a little crying and laughing, he knows that it was Shangguan Li who set the fire, Shangguan Li is willful, because it is not pleasing to look at Lin Yuan, which of the thousands of palaces in the palace is not good, but he wants to burn Jingren Palace. Jingren Palace is not a small place like Jingyue Pavilion, the repair project is huge, and hundreds of thousands of taels of silver will be gone after a fire. He felt a lot of money in his heart, and he couldn't say anything about Shangguanli.

It was so much that Lin Yuan couldn't live in it. Tuoba Hong thought about this and said, "I have already asked the Ministry of Rites and the Monk Palace Bureau to plan together, and then choose a good place for Yuan'er." ”

As he spoke, snow beads were already floating outside the pavilion, just a little snow, which did not disturb everyone's interest in enjoying the scenery. Lin Yuan got up and tightened the curtain behind the emperor, lowered his head and smiled lightly beside him: "The emperor's kindness is understandable." As long as the emperor treats Yuan'er well, what difference does it make if Yuan'er lives? Saying that, he raised his eyes and looked at Concubine Tian: "Yuan'er is only in the position of Jieyu now, and it is unreasonable to really take charge of the main hall, so it is better to live in the side hall and ask for peace of mind." ”

This was said to mean that Sang scolded Huai, and Concubine Tian suddenly looked bad when she heard this, and she wanted to open her mouth to argue, but she saw Lin Yuan stretching out her hand and pointing to the two gorgeous red plums next to the pavilion, and quickly changed the conversation and said, "This is Gong Fan Mei and Gu Hongzhao Shui Mei, right?" It's an ordinary variety, but the aroma is different from what I've seen before, and it's sweet but not strong. Are they newly transplanted? Saying that, there was already a clever palace maid who went out to pick plum blossoms and came in, Lin Yuan carefully twisted a petal, sniffed lightly on the tip of his nose and said: "I thought that the plum garden near the Mirror Moon Pavilion was already the extreme, but I didn't expect that there was a better one in the harem." ”

Tuoba Hong took advantage of the situation to put a red plum hairpin in Lin Yuan's hair, and said with a warm smile: "No one else can see this subtle difference, you have lived in the Mirror Moon Pavilion for a long time, and you have enjoyed the plum blossoms every day, and you have indeed given birth to some wisdom." After that, he glanced at everyone, and said in a distant voice: "These are still transplanted from the Lintoe Palace......

When Wen Concubine and the others heard this, their faces immediately darkened again, and they couldn't help but slander Lin Yuan's brain burning today, she usually looks like a very smart person, how can she be confused this time! The women who sent the great god of the concubine away from the harem are simply celebrated by the whole world, you are good, which pot is not opened, which pot is not mentioned, but the emperor can't forget her!

"So that's the case...... Lin Yuan's expression showed admiration: "I don't know how the original concubine Niangniang cultivated them?" The fragrance of these flowers is very elegant, but it does not dissipate for a long time when it is stained on the clothes, and the concubines know that they are not ordinary when they hear it. ”

"They are all cultivated by craftsmen in the Shanggong Bureau, and they have been hybridized with green plums, although the color is still red plum, the breath is different." Tuoba Hong said dotingly: "If you like it, I have some tree species there, and I will reward you." ”

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Concubine Xie Emperor!" The emperor is really stingy, and he only thinks of concubines until now, but when he rewarded the plum tree to Xianfu Palace, he leaked the concubine! ”

Tuoba Hong was confused when he heard it: "Concubine Tian doesn't like plum blossoms, when will I reward the plum tree to Xianfu Palace?" Her yard was full of peonies. ”

"Where, the emperor is coaxing me again!" Lin Yuan didn't care about words at all, and laughed with Tuoba Hong: "Just ten days ago, when the concubine went to the queen's palace to ask for peace, I heard that there was an unusual plum fragrance on Concubine Tian's body, which was different from the plum fragrance I smelled in the past. At that time, the concubine still thought that Tian Concubine Niangniang had newly developed spices? Today, I came to Chengrui Pavilion to play and see these plum trees, only to realize that the fragrance is the same, I think it is this kind of flower fragrance. As he spoke, he grabbed Tuoba Hong's sleeve and said dissatisfiedly: "The emperor must have given these high-quality plum trees to Xianfu Palace, and he didn't let us know." ”

The speaker had no intention of listening, Tuoba Hongben and Lin Yuan joked, and gradually their faces changed. He then glanced at Concubine Tian's smooth face, and the coolness in his eyes was like snowflakes flying outside the curtain: "Has Concubine Tian been to Lintoe Palace recently?" Changhe Guifei has been recuperating in bed since giving birth, how could he summon you? ”

Concubine Tian had already sensed the ominousness, and hurriedly knelt down and said: "I have never been to ......" said and barely squeezed out a smile on her face: "Hui Jieyu's nose is really powerful, I went to ask the queen mother to say goodbye that day, and the concubine did come to Chengrui Pavilion once, which was contaminated with plum fragrance." ”

Tuoba Hong let out an "oh", not saying anything else, but bowing his head slightly and thinking.

Lin Yuan smiled sideways and said, "What are you doing on your knees!" Today, the emperor and his sisters are playing in one place, and they don't follow the rules, where can they be so solemn. Yibi went to pull Concubine Tian up: "Concubine Tian has always been loved and trusted by the emperor, and the ground is very cold, and the emperor like you will feel distressed." Your Majesty, do you say yes? ”

Lin Yuan deliberately bit the word "trust", and sure enough, Tuoba Hong's face became even heavier.

Secretly sneered, her nose was actually not so good, it was the second day after the fire in Jingren Palace, all the concubines gathered in Changxin Palace to greet the queen, there were too many people, and she couldn't smell the smell of Concubine Tian.

Just a few days later, she secretly traced the cause of the fire in Jingren Palace and found some clues. Although she didn't need to check to know that the fire was related to Shangguan Li, but there was a mistake when she thought about it - although Shangguan Li came up with a way to set fire at that time, I am afraid that she would not have the energy to send someone to set it on fire! She still has to plan to leave the palace, and she is weak after giving birth, and the people under her are very busy.

Moreover, Tuoba Hong detained the confidants and palace maids around her on the charge of "poor service", and Lin Yuan also knew about it. At that time, due to Tuoba Hong's anger, the people around Shangguan Li who had to be used should have been disposed of, and it was even more impossible for her to complete the major event of arson.

On the other hand, Lin Yuan found out that the people around Chu Huashang had been to Jingren Palace, and in the records of the Shanggong Bureau, he also found that Xianfu Palace had received an extra hundred catties of charcoal, and Lin Yuan felt that something was wrong at that time.

She speculated that after Shangguan Li gave birth, Chu Huashang must have met her. Although they have been hostile in the past, Shangguan Li is about to leave the palace, and it is not impossible for the two to cooperate when they have the same interests and take what they need. Shangguan Li couldn't be separated from his lack of energy, so the matter of setting the fire was handed over to Chu Huasheng to do, and Chu Huashang was also extremely happy!

Shangguan Li wanted to suppress Lin Yuan, and this was also Chu Huashang's purpose. There are no eternal friends in the palace, and there are no eternal enemies, Chu Huasheng, who knows the situation, understands that Shangguan Li lost the qualification to fight after leaving the palace, this opponent no longer exists, and in the end, in order to deal with the common enemy, what is the point of helping her?

Lin Yuan, Chu Huasheng, Shangguan Li, and Empress Xiao are all unusual existences in the harem, and only they know the emperor's true thoughts. Therefore, the culprit of the burning of Jingren Palace can only be among them - if someone else is changed, they can't guess the emperor's thoughts, and when they think of arson, they will be afraid that the emperor will investigate it, where is the courage to do this?

And as smart as Chu Huashang, she had long expected that even if Lin Yuan noticed that it was her, she could only suffer this dumb loss. If the emperor really pursued the arson case, wouldn't he paradoxically admit that "the fire was man-made and had nothing to do with the warning of heaven"? And Lin Yuan knew this, and he didn't dare to mention "who burned Jingren Palace" for fear of angering the emperor.

Hearing this, Tuoba Hong looked at Chu Huashang on the ground and said, "You get up first." Said and smiled again: "Huashang has always understood the rules. ”

Chu Huashang looked at the emperor's smile with coldness, and the corners of his mouth trembled. She forcefully withdrew her hand from Lin Yuan's hand before she stood up, lowering her head and not daring to look at Tuoba Hong.

Lin Yuan looked at her like this, smiled slightly, and reached out to take a plate of chestnuts for Tuoba Hong to peel and eat.

Since the words of the plum tree, Takubahiro's interest in enjoying the scenery seems to have faded. After a while, he said that he was busy with government affairs and rushed back to Jianzhang Palace to approve the folds, and dismissed everyone.

Lin Yuan and the others retired one after another and returned to the palace.

In the depths of winter, the scenery of Shanglin Garden is unique. There is a thick layer of ice on Yanbo Lake, and the branches and leaves of the withered lotus are unevenly across the ice, mixed with the white snow, which has the meaning of "rime and white up and down" at a glance.

Because he had just recovered from his injuries and his body was still a little weak, Lin Yuan couldn't stay long in the cold weather, so he wrapped the big coat on his body tightly and held Chu Xue's hand and hurried back. While running, a crisp female voice suddenly sounded behind her, as if throwing a stone into a lake and smashing the ice: "Jieyu is in such a hurry, but do you want to rush back to dress up and serve the emperor?" ”

Lin Yuan stopped, and when she looked back, she saw that it was indeed Tian Concubine. She smiled softly and replied unhurriedly: "It turned out to be Concubine Tian's mother!" Niangniang has always been quiet and gentle, but today she has lost her previous demeanor when she speaks, is it because the weather is too freezing? "Sangwu.org
