Chapter 6: Death (6)
Pei Shuang and Xi'er hurriedly retreated to the side, and they didn't dare to come out, staring at Imperial Doctor Shi with four eyes to administer needles to Ruyue.
After a few stitches, Ruyue's face softened slightly, and her previously closed and white lips were slightly rosy. Shi Qianmo put away the black silver needle at the end, and said happily: "Fortunately, it is not highly poisonous, and the amount of medicine is not too large." I want to come to my mother's sleep for a while, and I will wake up fine. ”
Although Pei Shuang's heart was not as tight as Fang Cai, he still felt pain: "Imperial Doctor Shi, what kind of poison did my young lady have, and why was she poisoned?" Even the emperor and queen are in the little princess's bedroom, so many pairs of eyes staring, how can it be? ”
Xi'er closed her eyes slightly, reviewed Fang Cai's situation smoothly in her mind, and blurted out unconsciously: "It's the queen!" ”
"Yes, it should be the queen's doing." Shi Qianmo's eyes were sure, and he seemed to have remembered something, and he didn't care about offending, so he grabbed Ruyue's right hand and looked back and forth for something. "Two aunts, please see."
Pei Shuang glanced at the place pointed by Imperial Doctor Shi, and saw a small small red dot falling between Ruyue's fingers. The little red dot was extremely subtle, and if it weren't for a careful person like Imperial Doctor Shi, ordinary people would not have been able to notice it. "This trace should be the queen's cruel stab when she held the young lady! Why didn't you say it when the emperor was here, Imperial Doctor Shi, in this way, we have evidence, are we afraid that the queen will be able to get away with it? ”
Xi'er was not as anxious as Peishuang, and thought about it before speaking: "I think even if I tell the emperor, I won't be able to defeat the queen." "Some words don't need to be declared, but everyone knows it like a mirror, and now there are two princes under the queen's knees.
"The poisonous needle was supposed to smear the juice of the mandala, or it may have been mixed with other ingredients of anesthetic, so that the concubine Niangniang lost consciousness and fainted. At the time of the incident, it was impossible for anyone to immediately realize that Concubine Ru Niangniang had been poisoned. Although Imperial Doctor Shi was full of resentment, he was extremely sober at this time, and every word was sincerely for Ruyue's sake.
"If you tell the emperor and you can't cure the queen's sin, then there will be more danger for the concubine. What's more, the eye of this needle is so subtle, although it is slightly red, it does not prove that it was the queen's doing. If you don't catch the queen's handle at the most advantageous time, then I'm afraid there is no point in saying anything later. Shi Qianmo didn't dare not be vigilant, for fear that if he didn't see it at a glance, Ruyue would not be so good.
Some people exist to protect their loved ones. And this kind of protection is simply a person's business. Shi Qianmo never expected Ruyue to understand his thoughts. Rather, I wish she would never understand.
Secretly, extremely extravagantly beside her, silently giving. That's the best!
Pei Shuang had tears in his eyes, but he had to nod in response: "Yes, in order to take care of the face of the queen, the third elder brother, and the fourth elder brother, the emperor is unwilling to order someone to search the queen's body." After all, the young lady is only fainting, and there is no danger of her life......"
"If only you understood." Xi'er gently patted Pei Shuang's shoulder and said calmly: "The more this time, the more we can't mess with ourselves." The queen made our mother faint at this time, and she must not be allowed to track it down in person. But if others want to intervene, I'm afraid the queen will also be anxious. ”
Having said this, Xi'er's faceless face will suddenly become extremely cold: "We can't sit still, you can let people quietly send Xin'er to Yonghe Palace now, just give the wind to the first nobleman - the death of the little princess must be inseparable from Yonghe Palace." ”
Pei Shuang's dead eyes shone slightly: "What my aunt said is right, Concubine Zhuang is not a good man and a woman. There is also the first nobleman, who looks soft and easy to pinch, but he also has some ability. The slave and maid will do it, and no matter what, they will not be able to make the queen happy. ”
"Wanxin." Pei Shuang lifted a leap and easily climbed into the courtyard wall of Yonghe Palace. The place where he settled was outside the door of the wing room where the personal maid of the first nobleman was gentle.
"Who?" Wanxin heard movement outside the door and shouted in a panic.
"It's me, Pei Shuang by Concubine Ru's side." Peishuang reported his home.
"Aunt Shuang, please come in." Wanxin has been clearly distinguished, Pei Shuang has nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace.
Although Yonghe Palace and Yongshou Palace are close, they are each their own master after all. And although the first noble person of his own little lord is the emperor's new love, he is really inferior to the concubine, but he is the most expensive person in the emperor's heart. For these, Wanxin also respects Pei Shuang a few points.
Pei Shuang didn't want to go around in circles, so he only said to Wanxin: "The little princess went, just because of the Ruixiang flowers of Yonghe Palace." The first noble person is a smart person, and how to deal with it depends only on how you talk to her. ”
Wanxin's expression changed several times, first in disbelief and disbelief, then in pain, and finally in the last stalemate for the longest time, the expression of panic. "Auntie......"
Pei Shuang waved his hand and signaled Wanxin not to continue: "The more unstable it is, the more stable it must be." Wanxin, you are a smart person, naturally you have never seen me coming. ”
"Auntie, the slave understands." Wan Xin snorted, and already had an idea. Pei Shuang was a little relieved and turned away.
Wanxin truthfully told the first nobleman the news brought by Peishuang, and the two of them thought about it, and sent someone to inquire about it, and then told Concubine Zhuang about it.
"Chew nonsense!" Concubine Zhuang's emerald bracelet shattered into the corner of the ebony table due to the sudden force, and broke into two. The two pieces of jade fell to the ground, making a crisp sound, which startled the first nobleman to hang his head.
"Niangniang, you are angry, the concubine smelled like the little princess of the concubine, and there were slaves and maids who chewed their tongues and framed our Yonghe Palace. The concubine couldn't hold her breath and quickly came to the mother.
And I also heard that it was the emperor and queen who had a will, and all the slaves and maids who couldn't get out of it were sent to the Shen Penal Division, and eighty percent of them were being punished at this time. "The first nobleman has not been in the palace for a long time, and naturally he has never seen such a big battle, so it is inevitable that he will be a little flustered.
Concubine Zhuang thought about it, and her heart was slightly tight. Such false accusations came straight towards Yonghe Palace, and it was the emperor's concubine who was offended. Looks like we're about to have a big disaster. ”
At the beginning of this, the nobles trembled, and even Concubine Zhuang felt that the day of suffering was not far away, and she didn't want to retreat with her whole body. Even if you are lucky, the sky is falling and there is Concubine Zhuang on her back, but she has also been favored for these times. It's hard to guarantee that no one will be jealous and red-eyed, if this is the case, I am afraid that no matter how hard I try, I will not be able to escape the catastrophe.
Scared in his heart, the eyes of the first nobleman couldn't help but redden: "Niangniang, you should think of a way, we can't be wronged like this in vain!" Who doesn't know that the little princess is the emperor's favorite concubine, and she is the emperor's favorite concubine......"
"Shut up." Concubine Zhuang raised her eyebrows coldly, her eyes were about to burst into flames: "If I want to harm Rufei, how can I wait until this time." Splashing dirty water on us in vain, the queen's mind is nothing more than that. ”
The first nobleman was a little puzzled, and his lips touched it lightly a few times without making a sound.
"You don't know what happened in the past, Concubine Ru and I are old people who came over in the sea of fire." Concubine Zhuang's smiling eyes couldn't tell the cloudy sunny. calmly summoned the handmaid Hua'er who was close to him, and ordered in a cold voice: "You tell Xiao Caizi to hurry up to the Criminal Division, no matter how those minions interrogate the criminal maid, tell him to pay attention to the side and listen, and don't go away for a moment." ”
Hua'er was a little worried, bit her vermilion lower lip, and said, "Niangniang, I'm afraid that Xiao Caizi is there, and I will end up with tongues." said that our Yonghe Palace secretly made a stumbling block, and I don't want to hear the truth of the sinner! ”
"Then call the little apprentice Xiaomazi under Chang Yonggui's hand to go with him." Concubine Zhuang was a little impatient, and urged: "Be quick, otherwise everyone will call the Shen Criminal Division to be beaten to death, no matter how the evidence is written, it will only be the five finger prints of the dead man, and it will not be counted." Cheap queen to go! ”
"Yes, master." The flowers were oiled under their feet, and they retreated neatly. Concubine Zhuang took a breath and glanced at the first nobleman in disgust: "Get up!" It's not a newcomer who entered the palace on the first day, look at your crying and crying appearance, it really makes people upset. If you really want to cry, there will be times when you cry and mourn. ”
The first nobleman breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the tears from his face, shrunk and said nothing. Wanxin quietly helped up her little master beside her, for fear that she would be wronged.
"Didn't the emperor say it, he just likes your docile and humble appearance. Then you will be docile, the things in the palace of others, naturally there are people in the palace of others to remember, and the affairs of our Yonghe Palace, this palace will naturally take good ideas for you. Concubine Zhuang touched her empty wrist and couldn't help frowning. It is also said to be the best jadeite in the palace, so I can't help bumping, like porcelain. ”
The first nobleman was busy with a look at Wanxin, and Wanxin was a little hesitant, and it seemed that she didn't want to do what her little master wanted.
It seems that the first nobleman did not perceive Wanxin's worries, and only urged: "Quickly bring up the box." ”
Wanxin only obediently stepped forward to present a square red brocade box, on which the phoenix danced for nine days was lifelike, as if a gust of wind would fly with it. "Concubine Zhuang, this is what my little master prepared early in the morning, please take a look."
"Oh?" Concubine Zhuang took the brocade box and opened it, and smiled playfully: "It's not that there is no thought at all!" I also know how to prepare this for the main palace. ”
"The mother praised it falsely, and the concubine just prepared it by chance." The first nobleman really understood it at one point, hid his panic, and turned his smile as soft as water: "If the mother does not dislike it, it is the blessing of the concubine." ”
Concubine Zhuang put the gold bracelet inlaid with various colored gemstones on her wrist, and felt that the weight of gold was much heavier than jadeite.
Wanxin felt even more heavy because of Concubine Zhuang's actions. She even felt that if Yonghe Palace had to hand over someone to settle the matter. Then Concubine Zhuang will definitely not hesitate to push out her little master to take the blame.
With this thought, Wanxin only felt sad and full of sadness.
