Chapter 267: Doubting Faith
Concubine Xin laughed sadly, and when she fixed her eyes, there was no anger left: "Concubine Chun, the suspect needs to be reasonable, if you have evidence, I will let you dispose of it." Otherwise, don't talk about it here. really disturbed Concubine Cheng, I'm afraid you can't bear the guilt. ”
It was evident that he had come to his senses before he said this. Concubine Chun cleaned up her mood and re-examined the woman in front of her, knowing that it was pointless to continue. Then he said: "Okay, since the concubine said so, this palace can only be convincing by presenting evidence." Farewell! ”
Concubine Chun glanced at the Huixin standing outside the door angrily, and walked out with great dissatisfaction. "You dead girl, why didn't you come to inform this palace. But let that concubine see it clearly, aren't you really afraid that she will destroy the corpse? If there is no trace, it will make her laugh off her teeth. ”
Huixin had some doubts in his heart, and he didn't dare to say it for a while. Listening to Concubine Chun's complaints, she walked out of Jingyang Palace straight, and then she trembled and said: "Niangniang, you don't know, in fact, not long after you walked into the inner bed, Concubine Xin has already returned." After that, you were shocked by Concubine Cheng, and when Xiaochun walked in to comfort you, Concubine Xin Niangniang kept looking outside.
The slave maid really wants to inform you, but she has already been covered by the palace people of Jingyang Palace, and it is really not that the slave maid is lazy to avoid it. ”
"What a Liu Jiayi." Concubine Chun sneered and said, "If she is really innocent, will she even count me coming?" I also deliberately went to the Qin'an Hall to pray for blessings, but I wanted to listen to me talk to Concubine Cheng. Luckily, she's shrewd, and I'm not stupid. With an idea in her heart, Concubine Chun didn't dare to announce it, she only stepped up her steps and went to Yikun Palace with a calm head.
Concubine Xin asked Xiaochun to bring the medicine up, and carefully stirred it for a moment to make the temperature just right, and then took it to Concubine Cheng. "Sister, it's time to eat."
Concubine Cheng still maintained the posture just now and did not pay attention to it.
"Xiaochun, help Concubine Cheng up." Concubine Xin held the medicine bowl in both hands, it was inconvenient to help, and stood on the side of the bed and watched Xiaochun go to help Concubine Cheng. "Sister, you don't have to listen to what others say. What kind of person is Concubine Chun, you know best. On weekdays, it is silent, and when he suddenly opens his mouth and bites people with his head stuffy, it is really vicious. You'd better drink the medicine first, right? ”
"Get out of ......" Concubine Cheng's vague voice was full of anger, obviously believing Concubine Chun's words.
Xiaochun didn't dare to move again, blinking his eyes and asking Concubine Xin for help, but he didn't dare to move Concubine Cheng again.
"Well, you go down first." Concubine Xin retreated, took a clean and soft cotton cloth handkerchief, helped Concubine Cheng who was leaning on the bed, and gently wiped the corners of her lips: "Sister, since I entered the palace, I have never competed for favor. Now that you can be a concubine for a while, it also depends on your blessing and protection.
At the end of the day, with your benefits, there is mine. Why do I want to harm you? Besides, you have persuaded me more than once to compete for favor, haven't I all agreed? Why bother to grab and fight for something that has no intention? The former eldest cousin, now you and me, no one can escape the fate of the blushing face and dry bones, it is better to live a peaceful life, just seek peace of mind. ”
"You...... Seriously...... No harm...... I? Concubine Cheng struggled to ask this sentence, and her saliva was dripping down. was so embarrassed that even she was scared. She is the concubine Cheng who gave birth to the emperor's eldest son! With sad eyes red, Concubine Cheng suddenly found that she was crying more and more.
Concubine Xin looked at Concubine Cheng, who was sobbing incessantly and her facial features were distorted, and she did not dislike it. still gently wiped the foam from her mouth and tears from her cheeks. "Sister, Liu Jia's family is the only one of us who can rely on each other. The emperor has issued a holy decree, a holy decree that the concubines have been looking forward to for a long time. Liu Jia bravely went out to quell the chaos. This is what I have in mind.
It's not what Concubine Chun said at all. In the emperor's heart, I am afraid that there is only one concubine, I have always seen it clearly, how can I take risks against the hopes of a family? You say no. ”
The tone was soft, like coaxing a child: "Okay, sister, don't be sad." Didn't the imperial doctor say it, fortunately, your illness was discovered early, and it was still shallow, as long as you carefully recuperate, you will definitely be able to return to normal. Come, the medicine is also cold, let me feed you. ”
Concubine Cheng finally didn't resist, only nodded slightly, and obediently drank a spoonful of a bowl of medicinal soup. Whether what Concubine Chun said is true or false, she is now a waste, and she really can't save herself. Only by silent obedience, only by observing and verifying it over time, can we finally find out the truth.
The contradiction in her heart, coupled with the heaviness of her condition, made Concubine Cheng full of anxiety. There was only a moment when Concubine Chun asked her, she was really scared. If the person who harmed her was really the good sister who seemed to understand the righteousness and was gentle and virtuous beside her, what should she do?
Do you really want to expose her true colors? So what hope does Liu Jiashi have?
"Sister, let's sleep for a while!" Concubine Xin was very gentle and decent: "I let Xiaochun serve you on the side." Just call me if you have something. ”
Concubine Cheng grabbed Concubine Xin's hand and said slowly and laboriously: "If the emperor comes, no...... See. She didn't want the emperor to see what she was like now, not even a glance. If it can't stay in his heart for a long time, he just hopes that when he recalls himself, he can always remember his own goodness. That's enough.
Concubine Xin sighed, and the brilliance in her eyes was very sad: "Don't worry, sister, the concubine knows what to do." ”
The fifth elder brother was sent back to the care of the elder brother, and Ruyue suddenly felt bored for a long time and it was difficult to pass the morning. It seems that I can't devote myself to anything, and as soon as I close my eyes, I see Mianxin's lovely appearance.
Thinking of the emperor's kindness, she was full of warmth, even if she disregarded the rules of her ancestors, the emperor was willing to leave Mianxin in Yongshou Palace to take care of her. It's just that she refuses to do so. She is unwilling to embarrass the emperor and damage the emperor's reputation because of these trivial things.
Pei Shuangle walked in happily, looking at Ruyue absentmindedly twisting the silk thread, and couldn't help but sigh: "Fortunately, the New Year is coming, and there is finally hope." ”
"What?" Ruyue didn't understand why she suddenly said something so cluelessly, so she had to ask: "Don't you eat these things every day, what does it matter if you can't celebrate the New Year." Do you still think you were playful when you were a child, waiting for the cannon to fight? ”
"Oh, miss." Pei Shuang walked over gently, put his hands on Ruyue's shoulders, and shook coquettishly: "When the New Year comes, won't you be able to see the fifth elder brother!" The slave is worried that you want to think too hard about the little brother, and you don't know how to look forward to the New Year! The emperor allowed you to visit your brother every day, but you refused. If you don't look forward to the end of the year, you have to keep thinking like this.
I'm afraid that by the time we meet, the five elder brothers will all grow into big children. You can't recognize it, but how is it good. ”
"you." Ruyue joked with her: "Where will I not see you for so long." I just don't want to embarrass the emperor. So many state affairs in the previous dynasty have already made the emperor worried. The troubles that can be avoided in the harem are naturally better avoided. How long has it been since the fourth elder brother recovered from his illness, and hasn't the queen only been to the elder brother's place once!
What's more, Mianyu has been by my side for a long time. Contentment and happiness, do you understand? "It's rare that Ruyue is in a good mood and talks with Peishuang giggles. This feeling is like returning to the main house, there are no rules framed, and it makes people feel very friendly and comfortable.
"Slaves don't want to know so much." Pei Shuang stared at the copper furnace with phoenix wings fluttering, looking at the slight dark red firelight, the warmth in his heart was like the charcoal fire, burning brighter and brighter: "I just heard Le Xi'er say that Concubine Chun went to Jingyang Palace yesterday to make a big fuss. was shocked by Concubine Cheng, and she was slapped by Concubine Xin. ”
"Is there such a thing?" Ruyue smiled on her lips, like a red plum that had just bloomed, delicate and proud. "Who doesn't know that Concubine Chun is the most scheming person. In the past, even Concubine Zhuang could not be compared. Why did he run to Jingyang Palace in a dignified manner, and the realm of a sick concubine went to sprinkle it. Isn't that strange! ”
Pei Shuang agreed with Ruyue's statement, and continued: "Besides, the concubine is always silent. Even if he speaks, he always says something docile and tactful, and he rarely argues with others for the speed of his tongue, and there is no reason to do it. Let's say that she was still a person from Yikun Palace in the past, and Concubine Chun was the main seat in the palace. ”
Suspiciously, Pei Shuang seemed to understand something again: "Isn't it that she was bullied by Concubine Chun in the past, this time she is finally on an equal footing with her, so I hope that she will be unlucky." It is natural to be able to slap it down with your own hands. What the slave and maid don't understand is how the concubine can ask for her own hardships and be humiliated by others! ”
Ruyue exhaled a deep breath of turbidity, as if people were instantly relieved. "The emperor's mind, now that there are constant wars in various places, the people are miserable, and everyone in the palace is cutting the required amount of money sparingly. You go and instruct Jiang Lian, the ones in Concubine Cheng's palace are still distributed according to their original positions, and the best medicinal materials and supplements are used. ”
"Yes, Miss." Pei Shuang was puzzled: "It's just, what does this have to do with Chun Concubine and Xin Concubine?" ”
"Isn't there still a major general in Liu Jia's family who gallops on the battlefield for the emperor, and he always has to give some honors. Moreover, Concubine Cheng suddenly fell ill, which inevitably aroused the suspicion of others, and she was afraid that she would lose her grace. The palace also wants to tell others that whoever treats the emperor sincerely and serves carefully will always have her good. Ruyue always felt that Concubine Chun's actions were obviously ulterior.
Although it was not clear for a while, he was not in a hurry to see through it. "You just go and do it, and secretly ask Le Xi'er to find out where that word came from. Neither Concubine Chun nor Concubine Xin informed the palace, it seems that someone has a heart. ”
