Chapter 170: Suspicion
Ruyue still wanted to refuse, but Chen Chang broke free from the hand of the waiter, and knelt at the emperor's feet sadly: "Your Majesty, for several nights in a row, the concubines have heard the desolate cry of a woman in the backyard of Changchun PalaceAnd right in the west wing, the voice sounded particularly cold and terrifying. The concubine was frightened, so she secretly asked the shaman to pray for blessings and wrote some spiritual talismans to burn. ”
Concubine Yu couldn't help but shake her head again and again when she heard this: "The most taboo thing in the palace is the strange power of chaos, how can you, as the emperor's concubine, be so confused." Or do you think the cry is unusual at all? ”
"Your Majesty, the concubines are just for peace, and they don't dare to spread rumors. But the flattering nobles are not indiscriminate, but insist that the concubine pretends to be a god and disturbs her mind. Today, he took the palace people to search the concubine's bedroom, and asked the teacher for the crime.
When she saw Master Sama's talisman, she insisted that her concubine had cursed her, and she must have lost her mind. Only then did he strip off the concubine's shoes and socks, and let the concubine taste the taste of barefoot immersion in ice water. Chen Chang was embarrassed, tears rippled.
The emperor stared at her coldly, and indeed saw a little grievance, but he didn't fully trust her words. "Regardless of whether it's really a woman crying at night or not, how can you be so stupid and ignorant as a palace concubine."
"Your Majesty, the concubines are really confused, but they are not guilty. Mei Guiren insisted that the concubine was crazy, just because she thought that the concubine was pretending to be the unjust soul of the Li family and collecting debts from her, which was so unforgiving, but the concubine was really wronged. Chen Chang was flustered for a while, and he didn't choose what to say, and even blurted out the word "Li" in front of the emperor.
It's okay to be on the side, these two words are a big taboo in the emperor's heart. Since the violent death of the Li family, no one in the palace dared to talk about it in front of the emperor. Ruyue saw the emperor's angry eyes for a moment, as if she had accumulated endless power, and with a little force, she could spew out scorching flames and melt Chen Changzai into ashes.
The heart is not good, the protagonist of Mei Guiren has not yet appeared, how can the supporting role die. Then he raised his eyebrows coldly, and shouted: "Peishuang, teach this palace a lesson to this sinner who doesn't know the depths." In front of the emperor, she dared to say filthy words, which shows that she does not have the emperor and the palace in her eyes. ”
Pei Shuang had been standing outside the thick cloth, and when he heard Ruyue's mournful voice, he didn't dare to delay for a moment and jumped in. A crisp slap struck Chen's cheeks, which were covered in mud and tears.
The master and servant cooperate very tacitly, and they are within their fingers.
"The emperor said that those two words are not allowed to be mentioned in the harem. It's just that you don't know how to advance or retreat, you should fight! Concubine Yu's anger did not decrease, and her tone was extremely harsh: "The emperor forgives the sin, it is the incompetence of the concubines, the incompetence of the concubines, and the lack of a way to admonish the palace concubines, and ask the emperor to punish them." ”
Chen Changzai was slapped by this, and then looked at the faces of the emperor and Concubine Ru, he was already so frightened that he didn't even dare to cry, and fell to the side motionless in a daze.
Ruyue felt a little more comfortable when she saw it, but her blood was surging, which made her a little dizzy.
"Sister." Concubine Yu saw that Ruyue's legs were weak, and she had a tendency to be unable to stand, so she couldn't help but use her shoulders to push: "What's wrong with you?" ”
The emperor was angry and had not yet vented, when he suddenly saw Ruyue's appearance, he immediately swallowed back, and said worriedly: "Ruyue, are you okay?" ”
"The concubine is fine, it's just ...... As the emperor thought in his heart, he didn't want to mention this person again. I don't want to think about why Luan'er died tragically, why can't it be stopped. For a while, the pain was great, and the mind was dizzy, so I couldn't stand steadily. Let the emperor have a heart. Ruyue knelt down gently, side by side with Concubine Yu, and stared at it with autumn-like eyes on her lightly raised face.
I only wish that your heart is like my heart, she can't say this at this time. But the pain is not faked, can the emperor really feel it?
"Your Majesty, the beautiful nobles and the beautiful nobles are here." Chang Yonggui reminded him in a timely manner.
Only then did everyone's attention shift from Concubine Ru to the noble man.
"Father-in-law Chang, just now you said that the noble man was wet with his clothes, so he had to change his clothes late?" Concubine Yu glanced at the nobleman, and her heart poured out sour water.
"Back to the Jade Concubine, that's what the slave said. Mei Guiren did get his clothes wet, so he had to change them. Chang Yonggui also knew why Concubine Yu asked like this, so he spit out word by word very clearly.
The emperor took a closer look, and the noble people who came over were dressed as usual. But this charming nobleman was dressed in a colorful flag costume with flowers, surrounded by pearls and emeralds, and even his makeup was meticulously depicted, and he couldn't see a little panic. On the contrary, he was extremely prepared, and he had expected this for a long time.
"Your Majesty, the concubines can prove that the clothes of the noble people were indeed wet when the concubines were forcibly pressed into the pool. There is also a body of sludge. "Chen Changzai looked resolute, and he came back to his senses at this time." The concubines are at fault first, they should not believe in the strange power and chaos of the gods, and they should not ask Master Sama to give them the talisman to suppress evil spirits, and listen to the evil spirits.
But if the noble man almost drowned his concubine, it would be biased to frame the concubine for losing her heart and going crazy. What's more, if she wasn't a thief, why would she torture her concubines like this. Everything, at all, is that she has a ghost in her heart. ”
Chen's arm stretched straight out, and the tip of Lan Finger also pointed straight at the nobleman.
Just as Mei Guiren and Jia Guiren walked up to the pavilion, they naturally heard what Chen Chang was saying.
"The emperor is blessed with Jin'an." The two saluted together, and the noble man continued: "The concubine came late to ask for peace, and it is true that her clothes are wet. Please also ask the emperor to forgive the sin. As for what Chen Changzai said, it was simply prevarication, if she hadn't pretended to be a ghost to scare the concubine, why would the concubine want to deal with her like this. ”
The emperor leaned down and handed it to Concubine Yu with one hand, and the other naturally supported Ruyue: "It's cold and damp, beware of hurting your knees." Since the Mei nobles are also here, what is there is just to be clarified in the pavilion. Those who have done so will inevitably not be able to escape accountability. ”
"Your Majesty." Concubine Yu stood up first, and then helped Ruyue up with the emperor.
Ruyue's eyes were full of sadness, and her indifferent eyes could not tell the pain in her heart. "Your Majesty."
"Since you said that Chen Chang is pretending to be a ghost, is there any evidence?" The emperor changed his words and helped himself to sit firmly.
When Mei Guiren heard this, he asked himself, and subconsciously shrunk his hand that was holding his fist in the sleeve. It is true that he stepped forward and chose the closest position to the emperor: "Your Majesty, please see, this is an object that the concubine asked the palace people to search out of the West Chamber." ”
Zi Jia responded to the words of the noble man, and hurriedly stepped forward with the stolen goods.
The aftermath of the jade concubine turned, and she recognized that it was the palace dress of the Li family, and she couldn't help but be surprised: "Where did this come from?" The sinner died violently, and the emperor had ordered that all the objects she wore and used were burned, and even the gold, silver, beads and emeralds that she had worn should be smashed and thrown out of the Forbidden City. Where did you find this flag? ”
"Hui Niangniang's words were searched from the West Chamber." Mei Guiren was not arrogant or impatient, and said calmly: "If it wasn't from the West Chamber, how could the concubine have this thing." Let's say, it was searched from the backyard of the big room where Chen Chang was located. ”
Jia Guiren stepped forward softly and said respectfully: "Emperor Qiqi, Jade Concubine Niangniang, and concubines can testify that this flag costume was indeed dug out of the backyard of the West Chamber. At that time, the concubine was on the side, and she saw the servants under Mei Guiren's hands, and took a few little eunuchs to dig it out. ”
The emperor listened to Jia Guiren's words, but his eyes did not take his eyes off Ruyue's face. Ruyue wore a light green flag suit, embroidered with a few green chrysanthemums on the hem, which was a little thicker than the light green, and the simplicity made people feel distressed. Thinking of the past, he had sent her a lot of green chrysanthemums, remembering the scene of grinding his ears and temples in the past, the emperor's heart was like a trembling branch in the wind, and he couldn't feel it smoothly and quietly.
There are always inextricable things, entangled, forcibly pulling him and Ruyue farther and farther away. Naturally, even if he was thinking about Ruyue in his heart, he could hear the words of the noble man clearly. "Did you dig it up with someone?"
Jia Guiren was slightly stunned, and then said, "Exactly." ”
"I didn't see it earlier, Sulla, you still have the ability to predict the future, how do you know that there are things from the Li family in the backyard of the West Chamber, and you can still let people dig them up?"
As soon as Mei Guiren heard this, his heart was confused, and it was obvious that Chen Chang wanted to borrow the corpse to resurrect his soul and disturb his mind. Why does the emperor hold himself accountable? Then again, it's rare to have a face recently, and I heard that the emperor seems to have the will of Jin Feng. No matter how stupid you are, why bother making trouble at this time.
It's clear that Na Chen often can't tolerate himself to be promoted again! Mei nobles were in turmoil, and they only hoped that the emperor would not question their words. "Your Majesty, the concubine is not an unpredictable prophet, just because there are no clues in the West Chamber, but the backyard is slightly renovated.
Seeing that something was wrong, he guessed that someone might have buried something, so he dug it out. At that time, the concubine had been in her own house all along, and it was only at the time that she found out. Chen Chang was thinking about taking advantage of the past of Li's violent death to embarrass his concubines, and asked the emperor to return his concubines to a palace. ”
"What do you think of Concubine Ru?" Concubine Yu suddenly asked.
The emperor didn't speak for a while, and couldn't help but look at Ruyue again. It seems that he also wants to hear Ruyue's opinion.
"The palace is very puzzled, why is there a woman crying at night in the backyard of the West Chamber, and the Mei nobles think that it is Chen Chang who did it? How can you not suspect the good nobles? Besides, a woman's night crying may not be some strange force, how can you suddenly think of the Li family in the past?
The Li family has done all the bad things, and he has lost all his conscience, and it is clear that he is innocent. It's just that she is dead, so what can she embarrass you? "Ruyue's words are extremely meaningless." Or are you just a thief at all, even if only a breeze blows, it will make you shiver? What is going on, I'm afraid only you can tell clearly!
