Chapter 28: Woe to Delay (8)
When the emperor had this, he obviously didn't believe the empress.
It's just that at this time, Ruyue muttered in her heart, why did Concubine Zhuang suddenly appear, and she prepared the sachet to be planted early in the morning? Even if she hates the queen in her heart, it is impossible for her to have such a tacit understanding with herself, and she actually wants to go together? Could it be that this Concubine Zhuang had placed eyeliner beside her early in the morning?
met Concubine Zhuang's gaze, full of pride and sincerity, Ruyue couldn't see deception or anything else. I had to endure the pain and slowly adjust my state, and put aside the doubts in my heart for the time being: "Imperial Doctor Shi, take advantage of the leisure time when the evidence has not yet been retrieved, and help this palace heal!" ”
Shi Qian trembled silently, and blurted out: "Niangniang, you mean to pull out the golden hairpin here?" ”
Pei Shuang's anxious face flushed: "Miss, how can this be done, what if the blood flows more than that." A safe and feasible way is to go back to the palace to heal your injuries. ”
The emperor frowned unconsciously, and he couldn't hear whether the tone was blamed or asked: "Ruyue, I'd better let someone escort you back to the palace!" I know the rest. ”
Ruyue bowed to the emperor, held back her tears, and said unhurriedly: "It's not that the concubine doesn't understand the emperor's hard work, but she just compares her heart to her heart, and the concubine really can't sit idly by." What's more, in the harem, there can be no more such tragic things. Whether it is the imperial heir who was born, or the imperial heir who is stored in the womb of the concubine, it is the emperor's flesh and blood, our blood of the Qing Dynasty.
If this matter has nothing to do with the queen, it is just a misunderstanding, and the concubine is happy to admit her mistakes and make amends to the queen. But if this matter is unfortunate, it has something to do with the queen's mother, and the concubine, as the concubine, failed to discover and stop it in time, and it is really difficult to escape the responsibility. is willing to be convicted of the crime with the queen, and only asks the emperor not to prevent the concubines from finding out the truth. Give those innocent emperors justice. ”
After Concubine Ru's words were finished, the queen knelt down weakly.
She didn't willingly bow down and confess her guilt, but she understood a very simple truth. "Where the heart desires."
Maybe there were not a few dragonborns who were cut off in her hands before, or maybe this time even Concubine Ru herself admitted that she was deliberately framed. Maybe she doesn't argue, what awaits her is only a scrapped book from the emperor.
Maybe......
There are thousands of possibilities, and she is helpless. I'm afraid it's too late to say anything now. The emperor's heart is towards Concubine Ru, so even if An Concubine's dragon descendant did not die because of herself, she must bear this responsibility.
Okay, Niu Co Lu Ruyue, you still have this hand.
When the queen lowered her head, she no longer had the sharpness of the talent. The whole person was paralyzed, as if he had lost his soul. After all, I still lost! The power in the palm of your hand is only a short period of time, and it will be gone forever.
Tears numbly fell down my cheeks one by one, my heart was tired, and nothing on the side mattered.
Xu Miao saw that the situation was not right, and kept silently shrinking back, until Concubine Ru and Concubine Zhuang, as well as everyone present knelt down with the queen to plead guilty, he successfully slipped out of the palace door on the other side.
Whether or not you can reverse the situation is up to you. Xu Miao has only followed the queen for a short time, and he doesn't want to become a prisoner so quickly. What's more, there is still a person in my heart who really can't let go, and for her, she must turn defeat into victory in the difficult secret battle. With great ambition and unwillingness, Xu Miao copied the trail and headed towards Chuxiu Palace.
The atmosphere above the main hall suddenly became very unusual, and the light that penetrated through the window lattices was white and dazzling. Ruyue knelt stubbornly and resolutely, this temperament was extremely inconsistent with her sick face at the moment. The weaker body doesn't seem to be able to restrain her determination to take revenge at all.
The emperor looked at her, feeling sorry and helpless. It was difficult to weigh for a while, and I couldn't help but sigh silently.
Ruyue also understands that at this juncture, it is not all about her competition with the queen. He also had to carefully gamble with the emperor to see how much weight he had in his heart. I still can't help but be afraid, looking at the dazzling light, and secretly cleaning up the worries in my heart. But if she really loses, how will she go forward?
"You know, it's not that I won't let you look it up." Finally, the emperor took a step back, leaned over, and held his hands up like a yue. "I feel sorry for you." With the warm breath of the emperor, these words rushed into Ruyue's ears. It's tickling, as if it's sticking to him.
"The concubine is guilty, which only adds to the emperor's worries." Ruyue didn't say flattering words, but she really didn't want to see the emperor embarrassed like this. But Ruyue is also happy, she finally didn't lose.
If tolerance can not embarrass him, Ruyue will not hesitate to endure Luan'er's blood feud. If the emperor can't be deposed for the sake of the overall situation, then Ruyue is willing to be trapped in this Forbidden City for the rest of her life and fight with the queen to the end.
Maybe even the emperor didn't know that this affection for achievements beyond the red wall would be so heavy. supported Ruyue to walk in, supported her to fight, and supported her complete heart to slowly endure endless torture and suffering.
But she doesn't regret it, and Niu Colu Ruyue will never regret it. It's not for the brocade clothes and food in the red wall, it's not for the glorious lintel to climb to the top, and it's not for the monopoly of power over the clouds. It was only because of that glimpse that she couldn't forget him.
"Hmm......" Ruyue muttered, and then there was the crisp sound of the golden hairpin falling to the ground.
"Ruyue, you ......" The emperor choked, obviously not expecting that Ruyue would take advantage of his unpreparedness and pull out the golden hairpin by himself. Why are you bothered? ”
"The concubine is fine, the emperor ...... You don't have to worry. Ruyue tried hard to squeeze out a smile and try to make herself look calm and brave. Your Majesty, the concubines are very good. ”
Shi Qianmo didn't care about the etiquette, so he got up and tore off a piece of cloth from the placket of his clothes in front of the emperor and Concubine Ru to bandage Concubine Ru's wounds. "When the minister came, he didn't bring medicine to stop bleeding, and asked the emperor to order someone to go to the imperial pharmacy to get it."
"Little pony, you go." The emperor looked at Ruyue, whose face was pale, and he really wished that he could suffer for her. It's just that at this moment, he suddenly understood Ruyue's thoughts, she was unwilling to die like Luan'er. She didn't want to see others suffer like this again. Then he said: "Didn't you just say that Concubine Ru sent someone to search the palace, but what did you find?" ”
The head of the Yongshou Palace guards, who had been waiting outside the hall for a long time, hurriedly responded: "Your Majesty, please take a look." ”
Everyone's eyes were all looking at his palm, and it wasn't anything else. It was the little red pill that An Concubine stuffed into Ruyue's palm that day.
The emperor took one, put it in front of his nose and sniffed: "What? ”
Shi Qianmo bandaged Ruyue's wound, and then took one from the guard's palm, and after examining it, he said: "Your Majesty, this thing is made of safflower, Chuanwu, light powder, strychnine and other medicinal materials ground into powder, which has the effect of causing a woman's fetus to fall." ”
"Your Majesty, the servants found this thing from the small kitchen, and only half a bottle remains." The leader of the guards handed over the vial, which had already been empty, and couldn't help adding, "It looks like I've been taking it for many days." ”
"That's right." Shi Qianmo's face was calm, and his eyes skimmed over Concubine Ru's injured arm, not feeling piercing. "The amount of this pill is extremely light, and if you don't take it for many days, it's really not enough to cause An Concubine to slip the tire."
"How can it be?" The emperor was furious, and with a little force, the jade string on his neck was broken with a "bang". The round and smooth beads made a crisp sound like falling into a jade plate, rolling down all over the ground.
"Your Majesty." The queen screamed to death, as if she had exhausted all her strength, and it was deafening. The mournful voice fluttered back and forth above the side hall. "The concubine is really wronged, what pill and what musk, it's all a trick to marry the concubine. Your Majesty, you are wise and decisive, how can you not tell the difference. Or do you not want to believe the truth at all, you are only willing to believe in the red face and trouble, and you are willing to be deceived by the concubine. ”
The emperor closed his dragon eyes, forcibly endured the dissatisfaction in his heart and remained silent.
The queen did not introspect because of the emperor's temporary tolerance, but instead said inch by inch: "There are pills in Xianfu Palace, why is it the concubine's doing." And the musk mixed into the sachet sewn by the concubine herself does not necessarily mean that the concubine has intentions. After going through the hands of so many palace people, why is it difficult to frame this palace.
What's more, the palace was originally the queen, and the heirs born to the harem concubines were all the royal sons of the concubines. However, if the concubine herself can't keep her children, she will come to slander that it is the concubine who poisons the royal bloodline. Such a fallacy, but the emperor will believe it. It is clear, it is clear that the emperor is too biased. ”
"Did the queen say enough is enough?" The emperor was already angry, but unexpectedly, the queen's words were all accusations, and she had no remorse. In comparison, I can't help but think of what the former queen did, and I am even more dissatisfied. said casually: "When Hui Shen is here, he will always self-examine and introspect whenever he encounters something, and he will never be as down-and-out as you, and he will fight with the concubines and concubines, and he will not look like a queen at all." ”
Concubine Zhuang couldn't help but shake her head, and said sadly: "Not long after the concubine entered the palace, the first queen died. failed to be more accompanied, and was taught by the former queen, which was really a blessing for the concubine. ”
Ruyue felt that the blood on her arm seemed to stop and no longer numb, and the feeling of dizziness was slightly reduced, and the whole person was much more awake. insisted on standing and talking to the emperor: "The first queen mother is kind and tolerant, Ruyue dares to speculate, if the mother is still there, she must hope that the harem will be harmonious, and she will not tolerate such a thing." ”
The Empress sneered, ignoring the numbness of her legs, stood up and approached the Emperor's side. "I'm afraid that in the emperor's mind, the concubine is not as virtuous and tolerant as the first queen, and she is not as beautiful and fragrant as the concubine, and she is already a useless person. The emperor disliked the concubines, and he even distrusted the concubines. Therefore, everything does not need the slightest incriminating evidence, everything is in the emperor's heart. ”
The tears in her eyes seemed to have dried up, and the queen looked up and smiled: "Since the emperor has a conclusion in his mind, why bother to humiliate the concubines in every way, if you don't send my Niu Colu clan into the cold palace with a letter of resignation!" ”
