Chapter 212: Serpent's Tail
Pei Shuang was really shocked, she personally sent Roland over, and she was still fine when she came, why was she poisoned and died after a while? What's wrong, and who is the poisoner? "Miss, the slave really doesn't know ......"
Ruyue nodded slightly, signaling her not to panic too much. But he has a lot of time to do, and he has a tendency to dominate others. "Roll up Roland's sleeves and see if there are any other scars on her arms."
Regardless of how this Roland was poisoned for the time being, we must first determine whether she is the real murderer of the Jade Concubine. Ruyue only felt that what was revealed in her eyes was a raging flame, so hot and stinging, with blood and tears of accusation.
"Sure enough!" Concubine Zhuang couldn't help but take two steps forward, and she couldn't care about the disgust: "There are also claw marks, obviously after a struggle." ”
Li Guiren glanced at her sister who was lying on the threshold far away, and finally spread out her hands with the back of her hands facing up: "When the concubine woke up, her hands were stained with blood, and she was still holding a dagger. was caught on the spot and brought to the temple, and the nails were still clean. Please take a look at the emperor. ”
The emperor's gaze shifted with the voice of Li Guiren, but he saw her green white fingertips, three inches long pink armor, really neat and neat, without any damage. "From beginning to end, you just said that you were willing to bear the responsibility, but you did not admit to stabbing the Jade Concubine to death. Looking at it now, I don't understand why Kang Guiren is only willing to take the blame for you, but he doesn't want to believe that you are innocent! ”
Kang Guiren trembled when he heard this, and was so shocked that he almost bit his tongue, and kowtowed again and again: "Your Majesty, the concubine and her sister are born, and you have to hear that your sister stabbed the jade concubine to death, and the concubine's heart is like numbness, and she has already been in chaos." Let's say that my sister was directly sent to the Heart Cultivation Palace, and the concubine was only afraid of being more auspicious, so this was ......"
Ruyue snorted coldly and closed her eyes softly: "There is no excuse for the crime you want to add, Kang Guiren is too anxious, but he says too much!" Are you so anxious to get rid of your own sister and become a concubine for a while? ”
"No, concubine Niangniang, the concubine doesn't dare to think so!" Kang Guiren was so frightened that he didn't know what to do, and the bean-sized tears crackled and fell.
"If it weren't for the emperor's grace and concubine's bold act of allowing Kang Guiren to die instead, Li Guiren would still refuse to let go of his mouth when he thought about it." Ruyue hated, turned her face to the emperor's still deep eyes, and said: "If it weren't for the people around you, who could poison the food of the Li nobles?" If it weren't for the calculations of the people around her, how could she wake up in the Qin'an Hall where Concubine Yu was stabbed, and let people catch her. Your Majesty, the concubines in the harem all know that the concubine intends to let the noble lady accompany you on the tour, why at this time, she would kill the jade concubine with her own hands, and she didn't even want her own life? ”
The more the emperor listened, the more gloomy his face became, he knew very well the love between Ruyue and the Jade Concubine, and he would definitely not let go of the real murderer. From this point of view, Liguiren must have been wronged. However, what the emperor is worried about is another important matter, how much does Ruyue know about the Jade Concubine's refusal to give birth to an imperial heir and avoid favor? Will she know it clearly, but hide it from herself as Concubine Yu wishes! Quite apprehensive in his heart, the emperor asked angrily: "Isn't Kang Guire ready to tell the truth?" Or do you have to endure torture to speak? ”
"Your Majesty, no, the concubine didn't wronged her sister." Kang Guiren cried and gasped, and finally said this complete sentence. "Please...... Grace! ”
Li Guiren was also excited, and bowed to the ground again and again: "Your Majesty, my sister will not be so confused, there must be omissions in it." ”
"Indeed." Ruyue smiled coldly and said bitterly: "The biggest omission is that Kang Guiren is too anxious. If you don't use medicine to wake up Liguiren, but naturally wait for her to wake up by herself, and the medicine power will dissipate, I'm afraid that even the imperial doctor won't be able to see the clues. ”
"Poisonous woman." The emperor clapped his hands with resentment, and his hands were numb: "Chang Yonggui, take this poisonous woman who even wants to frame her own sister to me." Because it was sent in by Prince Qing's mansion, let her live for the time being, demote her to a concubine, and let her spend the rest of her life in the cold palace! ”
Ruyue and Concubine Zhuang were both shocked, and everyone didn't understand why the emperor came to a conclusion so quickly. Simply the queen was a little relieved, and took advantage of the emperor's anger to echo: "Hurry up and take it down and lock it up, it's an eyesore for nothing." It's a pity that the jade concubine is also dead, your ...... the emperor"
"I have a number." The emperor's eyelids moved slightly, and he lowered his head in silence for a long time: "Buried according to the position of the nobleman and the nobleman." ”
"Your Majesty...... Why? Ruyue didn't care about looking at the Kang nobles who had fainted, and she didn't have time to pay attention to the beautiful nobles who were pounding garlic and kowtowing, she just stared at the emperor with great dazedness and fear: "The tragic death of the Jade Concubine is no longer peaceful, why do you want to be demoted and buried?" What did my sister do wrong that disgusted you so much? No matter how bad it is, my sister has also raised the fourth elder brother, for the sake of the fourth elder brother's face, you have to take care of the whole sister of the jade concubine......"
"Shut up!" The queen shouted, her face was ugly like a dead man's face: "The emperor has made a holy decision, if the concubine wants to resist the decree because she is pregnant and has a noble identity?" ”
"The concubine doesn't dare!" Ruyue let out her resentment and calmed down her emotions a little. When his gaze unintentionally crossed the face of the fourth elder brother, he couldn't help but be shocked. Such a young child, there was hatred in his eyes, and when he looked at the queen and the emperor, the hatred increased unabated.
Ruyue was suddenly very scared, and before she could think about it, she saw that the fourth elder brother had already pounced out and bit the back of the queen's hand, only to hear the queen's exclamation, and the blood dripped down her hand.
"Mianxin, what are you doing here, let go. She's your royal mother. Ruyue only felt that her heart was pounding quickly, for fear that the emperor would be even more angry.
The queen's tears of pain fell, but she refused to shake off Mianxin even to death, and she did not allow others to pull it. That piercing pain made her hate her more and more, what a jade concubine, is this how she taught the fourth elder brother!
"Mianxin." The emperor was indignant: "You are the son of the Son of Heaven, the dignified elder brother of the Qing Dynasty, look what have you done?" ”
Ruyue and Concubine Zhuang looked at each other, and hurriedly pulled Mianxin down left and right. Looking at the wound on the back of the queen's hand, there was a bright red tooth mark, and the skin and flesh were turned over, which was shocking.
"Mother, are you alright?" He Huan's red eyes were about to come to wipe the queen's wounds.
"Mianxin, why are you?" The queen's heart hurt even more, and she couldn't care about the wounds on her hands for a long time.
Mianxin glanced at the majestic emperor, glared at the queen fiercely, and said menacingly: "You are all bad people, only Jade Niangniang treats me best." If I become the emperor, I must rehabilitate Yu Niangniang......"
Ruyue was so shocked that her heart was about to jump out, and she covered Mianxin's mouth: "Mianxin, be cautious in your words and deeds, if you are so rebellious, don't say it again, it will make your Jade Niangniang unable to be at peace." Obedient! ”
Concubine Zhuang couldn't stand it anymore, and took Mianxin into her arms from Ruyue's arms: "Zhuang Niangniang will take you down, be good, don't make any more trouble." ”
On weekdays, the fourth elder brother is also very trustworthy like Concubine Guifei and Concubine Zhuang because of Concubine Yu, except for the cold face and no kneeling, he did not resist extraordinarily. followed Concubine Zhuang and retreated.
Ruyue just wanted to speak, but the queen knelt down hysterically and cried: "Your Majesty, look, this is the good result of the Jade Concubine's instigation." Her own bedside is full of musk sachets, refusing to get pregnant, and still lying between the concubine and the mother and son like this, what is her intention? I beg you, the emperor, to be the master of the concubines! ”
The emperor's gaze was full of unbearable shame. Ruyue didn't dare to look straight over, for fear of seeing through the humiliating heart of the Son of Heaven.
It's just that my heart seems to have been run over by an extremely heavy wheel, crushed little by little, and with blood and water, sticky and whirring. The taste, the helplessness that can't be avoided, and the uncomfortable make people have nothing to say.
In addition to kneeling down straight, Ruyue didn't know what else to say, she never thought that Concubine Yu would resist the emperor's favor like this. How could she have thought that Sister Yushu said that it would be gone, and she didn't even have time to clean up the decorations in the inner bed.
The emperor was heartbroken for her death, right? But she found them from her boudoir......
"I have a terrible headache, you all kneel down!" The emperor didn't want to hurt Ruyue, and he didn't want Ruyue to see such an unbearable side of him, so he hurriedly took them away.
The queen was sad about this, so she naturally refused to comply: "Your Majesty, in the records of the Internal Affairs Office, it is clearly written that those medicinal materials were brought in by the Jade Concubine......"
"Get out!" The emperor stood up abruptly and shouted, "Get out of here while I haven't abolished the queen's edict!" ”
Ruyue finally stood up and withdrew with tears in her eyes. She never thought that her best sister Yushu would end her young life like this.
