Chapter 584: Heaven is determined to know that the fruit is better than the man
"Oops!" Bi Lan snorted, not because of the pain, but because the wax oil dripped on the back of his hand, and it was uncomfortably hot.
Gao Lingxi didn't know what was going on with her, and was worried: "What's wrong with you?" When the tea soup was added, the tea was sprinkled all over the table, and now the wick is pulled, and the wax oil is dripping on the back of the hand, why is it so soulless? ”
Bi Lan didn't know whether to say it or not, and she was very conflicted.
Seeing that she was silent, Gao Lingxi sighed, and slowly hooked her soft lips again: "Are you thinking about bowing during the day?" The queen mother suddenly fell from the tree, and the pure concubine reached out to take it, without thinking much about it. What happened in an instant, maybe it was too late to think about it at all, and the fact that Concubine Chun could do this, at least it showed that she was still a little willful. didn't waste the queen's grace and left her with this cruel life. ”
In fact, if things were like this, Gao Lingxi would not feel uncomfortable in his heart. "The emperor should go to see her. Concubine Xian wronged Concubine Jia and burned herself before, didn't the emperor also go to accompany her! Fake ones can accompany them, let alone be real. So Bilan, you don't have to worry about me, I don't feel so uncomfortable. ”
"It's good that the mother can think about it, so that the slave maid feels a lot better." Bi Lan was not worried about this matter at all. She hadn't deceived Concubine Hui about any trivial matter, but she was hiding one thing, and she felt so uncomfortable. "Niangniang, in fact, slaves ......"
If it had nothing to do with Xiao Feng, she would have said it, but if she said it, it would kill him, then ...... Bi Lan felt that there were ants all over her body, not to mention the itching of crawling, and the bite was still painful. Even if you don't bite, nausea alone is enough to make your scalp tingle.
"What's wrong? If you have something to say, don't be so rambling. There is no one else here. Gao Lingxi couldn't help but be relieved when she saw her in trouble: "Do you have something on your mind, Bilan, you and I are masters and servants on the surface, but in fact we are the most intimate sisters, do you even have to hide it from me?" ”
"The emperor has arrived!"
Before Bi Lan could open her mouth, she heard Li Yu's voice suddenly break through the tranquility in Chuxiu Palace, and somehow, her heart suddenly beat non-stop, and she was about to fly out of her throat. A sense of foreboding arose. "Niangniang, why did the emperor come here here, is there anything wrong?"
Gao Lingxi saw that she was unwilling, and smiled widely: "What can be wrong, we are walking straight, and we are not harmful, what are you afraid of." Stretched out his hand and put it on Bi Lan's slightly cold fingertips: "Let's go, go with the palace." ”
Although he has slowed down his pace as much as possible, he has allowed himself to hold the concubine to walk more steadily. But I don't know why, Bi Lan's legs kept trembling, and every step he took was like stepping on cotton. Especially when she saw Xiao Feng, the whole person was even worse.
"The emperor is blessed with Jin'an." Gao Lingxi, as usual, gently greeted him. "Why did the emperor come here now, didn't you go to Concubine Chun's Zhongcui Palace? It doesn't matter if Concubine Chun's injury matters, right? As the emperor took a step forward, Gao Lingxi was surprised to find that there was a young figure who was also long and strong behind her, and after careful identification, she found that the person who came was actually the eldest brother Yonghuang.
This is a strange scene, the eldest brother rarely comes to his palace to walk around. On weekdays, even if you want to invite you, you can't invite it, but today you can follow the emperor over, and at such a time, Gao Lingxi inexplicably felt an unusual meaning. The emperor didn't come to Chuxiu Palace to accompany him, so what was it for?
Glancing at Xiao Feng again, she realized that the expressions on everyone's faces were extremely strange. From Bi Lan to the emperor, to the eldest brother to Xiao Feng, what kind of thoughts they have is really incredible!
"Your Majesty's ......" Gao Lingxi knew that the comer was not good, so he deliberately staggered his body and asked the emperor to take the first step.
How do you know that Hongli didn't appreciate it at all, and took a step forward. Gao Lingxi almost couldn't stand the force and fell to the ground, but fortunately, Bi Lan never let go of his hand and helped him at this critical time.
"Everyone else is out." Hongli Fang sat down and shook it coldly.
The little palace maids standing in the inner hall didn't dare to come out, and hurriedly retreated. However, Bilan stood in place and did not move, at such a time, she was not afraid. Since there is no room for maneuver in things, I am afraid that I can only mess up my heart.
"You go out too." Hongli glanced at Li Yu and said in a calm voice.
"Huh." Li Yu hurriedly retreated, not daring to delay for a moment.
As a result, only Hongli with a cold face was left in the inner hall, as well as Yonghuang with a stagnant expression, as well as Xiao Feng and Concubine Hui, who couldn't see superfluous expressions.
Gao Lingxi saw that everyone had retreated, and the emperor didn't tell Bilan to go down, so he couldn't help but say, "You go and serve tea and moisten the emperor's throat." The implication is that she doesn't want Bilan to be involved in this turmoil.
Bi Lan shook her head slightly, refusing to just quit.
"I have something to ask Bilan." It was Hongli who spoke first and stopped Bilan from going down.
Hearing this, Gao Lingxi didn't make a sound. Bi Lan knelt down in a daze, and said softly: "The slave is here." ”
"When the queen presided over the silkworm ceremony at the silkworm altar, did you go to the queen's ear room where she stored her clothes?" Hongli did not shy away from it, although he knew that if he said it so bluntly, he was afraid that he would hurt Concubine Hui. But as long as he thought of Concubine Hui's "various actions", his hatred became a little stronger.
Gao Lingxi's eyebrows jumped, and he said without waiting for Bi Lan to speak: "Your Majesty, the concubine can guarantee with her life, Bi Lan has not been to the ear room, let alone done anything with the queen's clothes. ”
Although he was a little excited, and his tone was not as soft as usual, Gao Lingxi was really trying to keep himself calm. "From the beginning of the silkworm ceremony to the queen's bow, Bilan has been by the concubine's side, and the concubine has not said a word."
Xiao Feng bowed his head slightly, simply saluted to Concubine Hui, and then said unceremoniously: "Please forgive Concubine Hui, the slave has a few words to explain first." Before the queen bowed, the slave met Bi Lan under the corridor outside the ear room. At that time, the slave met only Bilan alone, and did not see that Hui Guifei Niangniang was also by his side. If you don't believe it, you can ask Bilan. ”
Here, it was Bi Lan who concealed the words of Concubine Hui before. Before bowing to Sang, she did meet Xiao Feng under the corridor outside the ear room. She refused to tell Concubine Hui that it was Xiao Feng who was afraid that the queen would fall off the ladder by doing tricks and feet. "You're spewing blood." Bi Lan clenched her fists tightly, and the pain of her nails embedded in her flesh made her extremely sober.
"At that time, under the corridor, it was true that the slave and the maid met the adult, but at that time, you and I were under the corridor, so how could I see that I had entered. Why can't you say you've been there? Is it because you first explained this matter to the emperor that you are innocent? I don't know that in many cases, it is nothing new for thieves to shout to catch thieves. ”
With a thought, Bi Lan almost killed Concubine Hui, and such a mistake made her regret and scared her even more. Although he is so righteous and strict, if Xiao Feng does not have evidence that he is nine out of ten, will he lead the emperor to Chu Xiu Palace to ask for guilt? Knowing that he is not his lover, and knowing that he is actually a rotten person, why can't he let go, why can't he let go?
Bi Lan couldn't wait to slap her mouth a few times, if she had explained it to Concubine Hui earlier, there might be a turning point in this matter. Now that he has done it, it has become secondary, and the emperor suspects that Concubine Hui Guifei is plotting against the queen is the crime that cannot be washed away by jumping into the Yellow River.
Gao Lingxi understood from Bilan's expression why the chaos in her heart arose. just slowly endured a breath and said softly: "Your Majesty, the concubine did not let Bi Lan go to the ear room where the queen's mother stored her clothes. She happened to pass there, but because the concubine's veil was dirty, she asked her to take it to the well in the backyard to wash it.
It's normal to go to the backyard and pass by there, and you can't say that whoever walks under the porch is suspicious. Xiao Feng happened to see Bi Lan, and he only saw it outside the ear room, and he didn't see Bi Lan enter or walk out of the ear room. In this case, it is just a coincidence. ”
Hongli frowned slightly, and looked at Shanghui Guifei's obsidian-like eyes, thoughtfully. "I don't have any evidence of being sure, so I won't come to Chuxiu Palace to confront you. So far, if you have anything to say, you can just say it. After all, you are also a person who has served me for many years, and if you are willing to admit it, I will not be too difficult for you. ”
With a "hum", Gao Lingxi only felt that a thunderclap shattered his skull, and it was pitch black in front of him, as if he couldn't see anything. "It turns out that the emperor didn't come to ask the concubines to ask Bilan, but directly came to treat the crimes of the concubines." Smiled bitterly, there were no tears in his eyes, Gao Lingxi only felt that he had never heard such ridiculous words. "Then the emperor asks for the daring of the concubines, I don't know what evidence the emperor has to prove that the concubines are plotting to kill the queen?"
Xiao Feng got Hongli's eyes, took out the thing, and handed it to Concubine Hui with both hands. "Can Concubine Hui recognize this earring?"
Bi Lan was so shocked that she almost couldn't close her mouth, this is the purple jade ear pendant that Concubine Hui gave herself, how could it be, how could it be in Xiao Feng's hands? What's more, on the day of the incident, she didn't bring this pair of earrings. "This thing was given to the slave by Concubine Hui, but the slave has been kept in her own room and has not been brought for a long time. What evidence can something that has not been touched in such a long time become? Besides, there are many people in the palace, if others see the wealth and take the sheep, how can it be said that it is the instruction of Concubine Hui? ”
Xiao Feng didn't pay attention to what Bi Lan said, and Wu Zi handed the earring in the palm of Hui Guifei's palm: "Let's ask the mother to identify it yourself." ”
Gao Lingxi picked up the purple jade earring, and found that there was something sticky on it, so he couldn't help but put it in front of his nose and sniffed it gently: "Yes...... Pine oil? At this moment, she seemed to understand everything, it turned out that her fate had always been pinched between the five fingers of others.
