Chapter 46: Throwing Stones to Ask for Directions (1)
Due to the sudden change, the convoy was delayed on the road for nearly half an hour before it was back on the road.
"Niangniang, the slave maid did what you ordered, and let the guards in our house go to see it quietly." The car was stable, and Qingchen secretly replied to Pei Yao: "There is indeed a tree-shaped tattoo under the ribs of the assassin's corpse. ”
Really.
The guess in his heart was confirmed, and Pei Yao's hand on his knee unconsciously clenched into a fist, and the whole person trembled slightly.
"Mother, the tattoo ......"
"The dead soldiers of the Liang family all have such a tattoo on their bodies." Pei Yao said, "At that time, when Yu Zhi died, the assassin was on the way out of the mansion, and I don't know who intercepted and killed him first. Chang Chu ......" She paused, deliberately glanced at Qingchen, and then continued: "The third brother found a tattoo on the assassin's body, and he told me about it. He was recognized because he had fought with the Liang dead soldiers in his early years. ”
Qingchen lowered his head and said slowly.
There was silence in the carriage for a long time, Pei Yaowei suddenly sighed, pinched the corners of her eyes, and looked tired, "This time, I was negligent." ”
Qingchen poured her a glass of water and wondered, "What did you say?" ”
She said, "Aunt Song's death...... It was my negligence. ”
"When Empress Dowager Liang asked me to accompany Chengyang Palace, everyone thought that she wanted to take the opportunity to do something to me, but who knew that in the end, her purpose became Aunt Song'......"
According to Pei Yaowei's speculation, at the beginning, Empress Dowager Liang couldn't expect that Empress Dowager Li would let Aunt Song accompany her, but for her purpose at that time, it should really be on herself.
But later, her surroundings were heavily guarded, and it was difficult to find an opportunity to take advantage of, so Empress Dowager Liang also changed with the times, and it was rare to be smart for a while, and she hit the idea on Aunt Song, who was easier to start.
"You mean, it's a matter of the right talent, those assassins are here for Aunt Song?!" In the horror of Qingchen, the doubts deepened: "But why! Aunt Song...... She ......"
Empress Dowager Liang is so dignified, what should she do with her?
"Did you see what happened to her?"
When I returned to the Imperial Palace, it was already twilight. As soon as he got out of the Xuan car, Pei Yaowei had no choice, and was taken by the Empress Dowager Liang and went straight to Lingyun Palace.
She lowered her head slightly, knowing what the Empress Dowager Liang was asking, but she still said, "Who?" ”
"Heh, are you pretending to be stupid with the mourners?" Empress Dowager Liang glanced at her sideways, and it could be seen that she was in a good mood at this time, and she was a little more relaxed, and she didn't care about her disrespect.
"Song Yifeng, she is also a loyal servant, she has been serving by her side since she was still Jieyu of the Li family." As she spoke, she asked Princess Chu: "Do you know, at that time, what was the identity of the mourning family?" ”
It's not a problem. Pei Yao thought to himself, once the emperor was in the first place, the woman in front of him was always a concubine.
Thinking like this, she said quietly: "Back then, you were Concubine De. ”
"You really do!"
Empress Dowager Liang snorted lightly. Probably because she was doing well today, she rarely had a little desire to talk at this moment. Even though the person next to her once disgusted herself, she still said to her: "Yes, the mourning family was indeed Concubine De at that time." From the beginning of the Li family into the palace as a talented person, the mourning family is Concubine De, and later she is Jieyu, I am Concubine De, she is Zhaorong, I am Concubine De, and finally survived to the moment of filial piety and then collapsed, the position of the concubine and the concubine is vacant, and the mourning family thinks it is ......"
Speaking of this, there was a hint of ruthlessness on her face, and it took a while before she calmed down.
"But Emperor Xian, he promoted her to a concubine - he promoted the Li family, the woman from the Han clan to be a concubine, he asked her to take charge of the affairs of the six palaces, and he also asked her to raise Princess Rongxuan...... "She asked: "Do you know what this is for the mourning family?" ”
Pei Yaowei did not speak.
Empress Dowager Liang didn't want to get any answer from her, and after a while, she replied herself: "It's a shame." ”
Pei Yaowei nodded at this time: "So you hate the queen mother." ”
"Of course I hate!" As soon as she gritted her teeth, she immediately remembered the scene when Song Yifeng was pierced through her heart by an arrow during the day, and she smiled slowly.
Song Yifeng...... In the early years, she helped your queen mother against the mourners. But none of these are the reasons why the mourning family wants her to die. ”
Pei Yaowei looked at her.
Empress Dowager Liang asked her: "Do you know that at the age of the mourning family and the Li family, it is in this deep palace, and there is a caring companion by your side, how much does it weigh?" ”
For example, Zong Ruyi is in Jingci Palace, and Song Yifeng is in Heshou Palace.
Pei Yaowei took a deep breath, and at this point, there was nothing else he didn't understand.
"I understand." She said, "Your purpose in this matter is not to take, but to give. ”
"You took Aunt Song's life, and you gave your mother the Queen Mother endless loneliness. You want her to be alone in this palace, helpless. ”
How cruel, how ruthless.
After this incident, Pei Yao had to look at the Queen Mother with admiration.
"That's half right." Empress Dowager Liang smiled faintly: "In addition, the mourning family has another purpose - that is, to teach you a truth. ”
She said: "If you follow the wrong master, you will suffer a big loss." ”
Well, Pei Yao thought, the sound of the east and the west, plus, killing chickens and monkeys.
As he spoke, he had come to Lingyun Palace.
Empress Dowager Liang glanced in the direction of the main hall, turned her head and asked, "What should I say when I go in, do you understand?" ”
Pei Yao said: "Holy Mother, please rest assured, concubine, don't dare to ignore current affairs." ”
In the Lingyun Palace, Xiao Zhu was a little surprised when he heard that the two of them came over together.
As soon as Empress Dowager Liang entered the door, the relaxation and pleasure on her face disappeared, and she was replaced by a sad look. She first talked to Xiao Zhu about the misfortune that happened to Aunt Song during the day, and the mother and son pretended to feel nostalgic, and then talked about Liang Yanyu.
"Yanyu has really suffered a lot outside these years......" Empress Dowager Liang's grief is obviously much more sincere. As she spoke, she looked at Xiao Zhu's expression and sighed: "The mourning family knows that you have always resented her, and I am afraid that you don't like to hear the mourning family say these words, but the emperor, death is great, and the smoke and rain were ...... Even if she is really wrong, she is still your cousin and the niece of the mourning family after all! You have given her a lesson, and now you ...... She left so early, you can't let her go uneasy! ”
Hearing this, Xiao Chai frowned, "What does the queen mother mean by this?" ”
Empress Dowager Liang let out a long sigh, wiped her tears, and looked at Princess Chu who was standing on the side.
Xiao Zhu naturally also noticed his mother's eyes, he secretly pondered for a moment before he asked, "Has Princess Chu seen Yuhua Zhenren?" ”
Pei Yao stepped forward and knelt down, lowered her head and replied: "Back to Your Majesty, it's not good to be a concubine, knowing that Yuhua Zhenren is sick, but she still forgot the taboo, and accidentally showed it to the real person, which made the real person excited for a while, and said a lot......" She raised her head, glanced at Xiao timidly, and then looked at the Empress Dowager Liang, and then, as if she was frightened, she lowered her head again, "Said a lot of foolish things......"
"Foolish?"
Xiao Zhu naturally knew that Liang Yanyu would probably react when he saw Xiang Yu. Even he, a sane person, had a sense of abruptness when he saw her for the first time earlier, not to mention the seriously ill and disadvantaged person.
This time, the Empress Dowager Liang took Xiangyu to Chengyang Palace, he listened to Xin'er early in the morning, and wanted to stop it, but after thinking about it again, first, the matter of the wife, he was not very easy to talk about, and second, he knew that his mother loved Liang Yanyu, so he also felt that even if Xiangyu went to Chengyang Palace, his mother should not let her see Xiangyu for Liang Yanyu's sake. With this in mind, he let them go.
Unexpectedly, when I came back from this trip, something still happened.
Pei Yaowei could hear it, and Xiao Zhu listened to his words, and the whole person became nervous.
"What did she say!" He stared at the person kneeling on the ground tightly, and his attitude was so abnormal that even the Empress Dowager Liang was a little surprised.
"Yuhua Zhenren, Yuhua Zhenren She ......" Pei Yaowei looked at the Empress Dowager Liang cautiously several times before looking at Xiao Zhudao: "The real person pulled the concubine's hand, and said that the concubine wronged her, and said that she was angry about arsenic, she said, there is someone else who harmed the concubine, and that person is ...... It's ......"
With her words, Xiao gradually breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that what Liang Yanyu said was not that thing.
"Emperor, when Yanyu was dying, she was delirious from time to time, and according to the mourning family, she mistakenly recognized Princess Chu as Yao!"
Yaowei? When Pei Yaowei heard the title of Empress Dowager Liang, she almost couldn't hold back her trembling. It seems that in order to get rid of Pan Ruohui, Empress Dowager Liang does not hesitate to use the dead now. This is really different from the past.
Xiao Chai was silent for a moment with a calm face before asking, "Who did she say was that person?" ”
Yuhua Zhenren didn't mention the person's name, only said......" Her voice became lower and lower, and it was not easy for her to break through the cauldron and say the words behind her: "She only said that the person took her place and murdered her so far, and she can't turn a blind eye to death!" ”
After her words were finished, over there, Empress Dowager Liang smiled silently.
"Emperor, did you hear everything?" After a while, Empress Dowager Liang sighed, "The incident of that year not only wronged Yanyu, but also almost harmed Yaoyu, and in the end replaced her as a concubine...... Is it hard to guess who can do all this? ”
Pei Yao knelt there silently, but in fact, she sighed a little in her heart. Although Empress Dowager Liang borrowed her own mouth to deal with Pan Ruohui out of nothing, but her story was really crooked, and she bumped into the truth in a daze.
Xiao Zhu's emotions were difficult to see, and he was afraid for a long time, but he only patiently persuaded the Empress Dowager Liang: "Queen Mother, you also said that Liang was often delirious before he died. How can the words of a delirious man be credulous? ”
Empress Dowager Liang's face changed, "What does the emperor mean?" Do you still want to go your own way and help the wicked woman who has calculated the first queen to be on the throne for Changqiu?! ”
"Queen Mother," Xiao called out, the mother and son were in a stalemate for a long time, and he finally nodded in compromise, "That's it, now the situation is not restful, let's follow the next thing, and push it back first!" ”
