Chapter 26: Woe to Delay (6)
Ruyue took more than a dozen guards from Yongshou Palace, Shi Qianmo, Xi'er, Peishuang, etc., and the group went straight to Xianfu Palace with a flamboyant and majestic manner.
Concubine Zhuang, who was strolling on the palace street with the first nobleman, saw it, suddenly ignorant, and hurriedly instructed Hua'er: "You steadily help the first nobleman to go back to the palace first, and the palace will follow Concubine Ru to see, and there seems to be something big going on in Xianfu Palace." ”
The first nobleman was a little moved, and he also wanted to follow to join in the fun, after all, the concubine in the Yongshou Palace was Xiao Jing for a long time. At this time, he rushed into Xianfu Palace unscrupulously, and it must not be so simple as An Concubine. He flattered him slightly: "Since it is an important matter, why don't the concubines accompany the mother to take a look, so it is good to have a response." ”
A hint of unhappiness flashed between Concubine Zhuang's eyebrows, but it was fleeting and unclear. Pursing her lips lightly, she gently persuaded: "It's better for the first nobleman to take care of the dragon fetus in his belly, after all, the guards are dispatched, and the crowd is naturally noisy." And the concubine in the Xianfu Palace has just lost her flesh and bones, lest she collide with you. ”
This tone sounded very comfortable, but when the first nobles heard it, they felt that there was no room for negotiation. Then he took the hands of Hua'er and Zi Fu, and bent his knees slightly: "The concubine will be lazy and go back to the palace to rest first, Niangniang, you are careful in everything." ”
Finally satisfied, Concubine Zhuang's face was full of smiles, and she only bowed her head slightly, and Hua'er willingly helped the first nobleman to retreat. Concubine Zhuang whispered to herself: "There is no one who is worry-free, the peaceful days of this harem are really over." ”
At the same time, Le Xi'er rushed to the Qianqing Palace as if galloping, but blocked the pony from the palace. "Le Xi'er, are you too long-lived? The emperor is discussing with his ministers, how dare you go in like a fly without a head? ”
"Grandpa Ma......" Le Xi'er looked embarrassed, and the beads of sweat on her forehead were as big as beans: "You don't know wow, something happened in Xianfu Palace." A palace maid came to report to my master, saying that Concubine An was calculated by someone to lose the dragon descendant. Such a very important matter, where can my master take care of it, it must be safe to tell the emperor! ”
"What did you say?" Xiao Mazi was so shocked that his jaw almost fell: "This is a big thing that will die at every turn, you wait, I will tell the master." Whether to tell the emperor or not, the master has to make an idea. ”
"Hey!" Le Xi'er responded crisply, and hurriedly thanked: "Then there is Father-in-law Raoma." Looking at the figure of the little pony hurrying away, Le Xi'er couldn't help but smile: "Hey, it's lively now, but there is a drama to watch." ”
Xu Miao was talking with the queen, and she heard the little eunuch outside the door raise her voice and report: "If the concubine is here." ”
The queen didn't hear it, blew away the heat indifferently, and slowly took a sip of jasmine tea. Xu Miao was very stunned, and along with Concubine Ru, there were also the guards of Yongshou Palace. "Queen Mother, you see this is ......"
"Blessed Queen." Ruyue symbolically saluted, and regardless of whether the queen ignored it or not, she got up and ordered: "You heard clearly, except for Concubine An's inner bed, which is inconvenient to inspect, even if you dig three feet into the ground, you have to turn out the evidence of the crime, do you understand?" ”
The guards behind him all looked solemn, not angry and arrogant, and responded in a loud voice: "Yes, like a concubine." ”
Obviously, the queen didn't expect Concubine Ru to have such a formation, and she didn't feel a shock, and suddenly stood up and reprimanded: "Stop for me, no one is allowed to move." If you want any evidence of the crime, this is Xianfu Palace! ”
The guards listened to the order, unconsciously stopped, and looked at Concubine Ru with a brush.
"The queen is confused." Ruyue took a step forward and kindly reminded: "The concubine remembers that the emperor's decree was to make the concubine in charge of the affairs of the six palaces. Two days ago, in the Chuxiu Palace, in front of the concubines, the queen also said that the emperor has never withdrawn the holy will, so now the concubines are qualified to take over the power of the queen and search the palace! ”
"Search the palace?" The queen slammed the blue and white baby bowl on the ground, and the white blue fragments splashed everywhere. "The palace is still here, and Concubine An has just lost her child, so you will bring the guards to search the palace. You still have the emperor in your eyes, but you also have the existence of this palace. Or do you think that the emperor only went to stay with you for one night, so that you can be independent and cover the sky with one hand? ”
The queen was obviously moved, and her angry face was as clear as frost. His gaze revealed an undisguised killing intent, along with the hatred that soared in his heart, surging like waves.
Ruyue looked indifferently, without a trace of fear. It was as if he was not facing a queen as poisonous as a snake and scorpion, but a jackal in a gorgeous skin. Just avoid the sharp claws of her claws, no matter how fierce a wolf is, he is always afraid of sharp knives. "The queen is too worried, and the concubine asked to search the palace in order to give the concubine justice. Naturally, there must be a basis for searching the palace, and when the emperor comes later, the concubines must of course explain it to the emperor and the queen in person. ”
As soon as the words fell, the guards were a little nervous. The queen was awkward in her heart, and she found that even the guards of Yongshou Palace did not listen to her, and she was not annoyed, and her face turned pale alternately and turned red: "Even the palace is not in her eyes, is the concubine going to rebel?" ”
"Rebellion?" Ruyue sneered, and that beautiful smile was like a bright flower condensed on her face. Just one glance can stay in the heart for a long time, and it is difficult to forget. "Today's matter, I will bear it with all my might. If the emperor wants to blame, it is all up to the palace. Did you hear me clearly? ”
The guards responded in unison, and then ignored the queen and searched everywhere under the command of the chief. In just the blink of an eye, the crowd that had just gathered densely dispersed, leaving only Concubine Ru and the queen looking at each other.
Xu Miao saw that the situation was not good, so she had to come forward to help: "If you are a concubine, the slave advises you to think about it carefully." Since the concubine's miscarriage, the queen has been guarding the care of Xianfu Palace. What can be wrong with Xianfu Palace? What's more, for such a big matter as searching the palace, it is better to have the emperor's holy will to allow it......"
"Shut up." Before Xu Miao's words were finished, Ruyue became impatient. If you talk about tongue, the queen is not an opponent, where is it the turn of a eunuch who is full of nonsense. There was a lot of annoyance in her heart, but her face was bright and bright, Ruyue stretched out her hand and pointed to the chair on the side: "My father-in-law has the skill to speak, so let's help the queen and rest." ”
The full words were blocked in her chest by Concubine Ru, and Xu Miao also felt depressed. But when you are in a hurry, you are often calm and win when you encounter something. So Xu Miao obediently took the queen's hand and explained: "Since Concubine Ru insists on searching the palace, you can rest and wait and see." After all, the concubine promised that if there was anything wrong, she would bear it. ”
"Hmph, okay! This palace wants to see how much responsibility Concubine Ru's shoulders can bear. The queen sat down with Xu Miao's hand. Xi'er and Pei Shuang just walked in.
"Blessed is the Queen." The two of them greeted each other together, and the expressions on their faces were also extremely casual.
The queen ignored it and turned her head away in disgust.
"Niangniang, the slave maid found this in Concubine An's bedroom." Xi'er got up and said to Ruyue, "Please take a look." ”
Xu Miao's eyes stared at the object in Xi'er's hand, and she couldn't help but be surprised. How could it be that sachet, that's ...... It was hand-sewn by the queen mother. "The Queen." Xu Miao hurriedly lowered her head and muttered a few words in the queen's ear.
Ruyue was clear, sharply aware of everything, and couldn't help but lift the sachet and tremble.
Xi'er hurriedly dissuaded: "Niangniang, this can't be helped, this sachet is full of fine powder of musk, mixed with various petal spices, so that An Concubine hangs on her waist every day." ”
"Musk?" Ruyue repeated these two words vigorously: "As early as the time of Yongzhengye, there was a will, and the concubines and concubines were not allowed to use musk." The privateer will be sent to the cold palace or put to death, and where do you get this evil thing? ”
"Miss Xu is shocked." Pei Shuang hurriedly took the sachet in Ruyue's hand, and left the front of him with the strap in disgust: "Aunt Fang Cai didn't say it, this thing is an object that Concubine An Niangniang hangs on her waist every day." Naturally, it was found from Concubine An's bedroom. ”
"Chew nonsense." The queen's anger continued to increase and add new hatred, and she shook off the hand that stopped Xu Miao from stepping forward: "This sachet is clearly sewn by the palace herself and given to An Concubine to have a good baby." It is full of precious and warm spices that help to strengthen the tire. If you are so bold, such a concubine, you dare to deny the palace. Do you know the capital offense? ”
"What?" Ruyue showed an extremely surprised look: "Queen Mother, you actually treat Concubine An like this." Even if she betrays you and approaches the emperor, she will not be guilty of death. What's more, she still has the emperor's blood in her belly, how can you bear to beat that fetus alive. For a mother, there is nothing more heart-wrenching than your own flesh and blood, don't you have to force An Concubine to death to be satisfied? ”
"Niu Co Lu Ruyue, are you crazy!" The queen was furious and roared: "When has this palace done it, you dare to slander me like this." As soon as the words came out, the queen rushed towards Ruyue like a madman, the force was fierce and sudden, and Ruyue fell to the ground with the queen as soon as she slipped under her feet.
Pei Shuang was frightened by this scene, and it was too late to reach out to help. The queen grabbed Ruyue's bun desperately, and couldn't stop complaining: "Why do you slander this palace, you did all this yourself." ”
"Do you dare to do it?" Ruyue resisted to the death, her hands were full of strength, and she desperately pressed against the queen's shoulders and abdomen, trying in vain to push her away from her body. Even though her hair was pulled very painfully, Ruyue still didn't have any fear: "Or the queen, you are afraid that the East Window incident will happen, and the emperor will be angry with you and threaten the status of the third and fourth elder brothers." That's why I blame me for telling the truth and accusing me of slandering you. In fact, you did it alone! ”
