Chapter 4: The Yellow Sparrow (2)
Gyeonggi Villa.
Xiao Di and Gu Zijun came back from a hunt, and Cheng Yongting, the old manager in the garden, came to report: "Your Highness, there is a letter from the house, saying that there was an accident in Chenghui Palace, and the Empress Dowager Liang announced that the princess had entered the palace." ”
"Well," Xiao Di replied casually, and only asked, "What about the instant rain?" ”
"Yes."
He nodded, and said no more.
On the side, Gu Zijun's eyes rolled playfully, and said with a smile: "Your Highness, you want to watch coldly." Saying a sigh, "I just don't know if Empress Dowager Liang and Concubine Pan Guifei have shot one after another, and our new princess can't resist it!" ”
Xiao Di chuckled: "Who should you lead them to?" ”
Gu Zijun was slightly stunned, and when he understood the meaning of his words, he couldn't help but be a little surprised: "Your Highness is saying...... Princess? ”
Xiao Di did not deny it.
Gu Zijun tasted the product and couldn't help laughing: "Interesting......"
It seems that this new princess not only looks like Empress Pei, but also has a scheming and scheming character!
I just don't know, if there is another one like this, will the prince be able to eat it?
At the other end, Chief Manager Cheng saw that His Royal Highness the King of Chu didn't say a word, so he couldn't help but ask worriedly: "Your Highness, don't you go back and have a look?" ”
Xiao Di shook his head, "If you have the ability to cause trouble, you have to have the ability to make trouble." Otherwise, she will be tossed to death, and this king can only thank those who taught her lessons. ”
Hearing this, Gu Zijun and Manager Cheng glanced at each other and stopped talking.
In the Chenghui Palace, Pei Yaowei looked shocked, and knelt on the ground when Empress Dowager Liang's questioning voice was about to land.
"Our Lady Queen Mother is angry!"
Seeing her pale face, Empress Dowager Li ignored Empress Dowager Liang's questioning, and only asked her gently: "Don't worry, if you have anything to say, the mourning family is here, and no one can wronged you!" ”
Empress Dowager Liang said coldly: "Sister, this means that the mourning family intends to accuse your good daughter-in-law?!" ”
Empress Dowager Li didn't let it go: "Heh, joke, have you ever named the mourning family?" Why should my sister rush to take a seat? But I don't know who the ghost is in my heart! ”
Seeing that the two of them were on the same page, Xiao Chai was so noisy that his brain hurt, so he softened his mouth, and only asked the two queen mothers to take a break from their anger for a while, and wait for everything to be understood.
"Princess Chu," the hall finally quieted down, he looked deeply at the person kneeling on the ground, and said in a deep voice: "What is the truth, I want to listen to your explanation." If there is a lie, it is a crime of deceit, and if it is the truth, there is no need to take it into account. ”
Pei Yaowei looked weak, and responded pitifully, and then slowly defended: "The Queen Mother of the Two Palaces, Your Majesty, even if the concubine has the courage to do anything, she doesn't dare to do anything in the things dedicated to the Queen Mother!" It's just that the wood used to make the frame of the embroidered screen is lacquered spotted wood from the Zhou Kingdom, and this wood is also an extremely precious medicinal material. Ancient books contain it, and its fragrance is subtle and has the effect of prolonging life, which is suitable for the elderly to recuperate, but it is not suitable for pregnant women. When the concubine gave the embroidered screen to the Queen Mother, she only thought about adding blessings and longevity to the Queen Mother, and she didn't know that the Mother would transfer it to the concubine Mother, because she never mentioned this layer of tricks to the Queen Mother! It's the concubine's negligence! Please punish the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces and Her Majesty! ”
After she finished speaking, Empress Dowager Liang was a little stunned.
Why, it turns out that there is still this layer of heaven on the wood?
Aunt Zong saw that her master was stunned, for fear of falling behind, so she hurriedly said: "Princess Chu said this, but she is full of filial piety!" If that's the case, I really can't complain about the princess, Our Lady, according to the old slave, it is imperative that the screen should be passed up to inspect it! ”
The master and servant looked at each other, and the Empress Dowager Liang received a reminder from Aunt Zong, and suddenly became stiff again.
yes, what does it matter if there is anything in the wood? What really matters is the thing hidden in the embroidered screen, as long as it is exposed in front of people, I am not afraid that I will not be able to cure this girl of a traitor and the crime of mutilating the emperor's heir!
The embroidered screen was carried up by the palace people of Chenghui Palace, at this time, the imperial doctor Shi who had been treating Pan Guifei also came out of the inner hall, wiped a sweaty head, and said to the queen mother and the emperor, saying that the concubine Niangniang was blessed, although this time it was dangerous, but fortunately, the dragon fetus was protected, and the mother and child were safe.
When Empress Dowager Liang heard this, she hated it in her heart.
Pan Ruohui is blessed with a great fate, it is difficult for her to make such a heavy material for herself, she is still safe!
Yu Wenrou on the side was also extremely stupid at this time, obviously very unhappy with this result.
Xiao Zhu asked how the concubine was now, and Imperial Physician Shi said: "Your Majesty, rest assured, Niangniang's pulse is stable at the moment, and she will wake up in a short time!" ”
Xiao Zhu nodded, and then asked Imperial Doctor Shi to stand aside and wait for the order.
He asked Sun Zhifang to personally go over to inspect the embroidered screen, Sun Zhifang has always done things carefully, and after a while, he first showed a strong fragrance on the screen, and then, found a hollow place on the wooden frame.
Xiao Zhu saw that his face had changed, so he asked, "What?" ”
Sun Zhifang hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, for some reason, these four wooden frames, the other places are solid, but the middle section seems to be hollow, like a ......."
He has been by Xiao Zhu's side for a long time, so he naturally knows that His Majesty values Princess Chu, and if this is suspicious, it is not easy to say it for a while.
He doesn't say it, naturally someone says. Empress Dowager Liang leaned back, and the whole person was full of momentum of victory, and snorted: "What is it like?" Sun Zhifang, you have been in the palace all these years, and you have never seen any methods, why don't you dare to say it now? Isn't it...... Are you afraid of offending the King of Chu and the Queen Mother? ”
Empress Dowager Li glanced at her coldly, but her palms were already a little sweaty.
Xiao Chai heard his mother's words, his face was not good-looking, and he said in a deep voice: "What is it like, it will be clear if you split it and look at it." ”
When Sun Zhifang heard this, he went to the outside of the hall and called a military guard to come in, and slashed the sword twice, and then split the hollow section like firewood.
Sun Zhifang squatted down and examined it carefully, but was stunned.
"Back to Your Highness," he replied with the broken log and spreading his hands, "here...... Nothing. ”
When Empress Dowager Li heard this, her body was relieved.
Empress Dowager Liang stood up abruptly, with a look of misheard on her face: "No?!" ”
For a while, everyone in the hall looked at her, and Empress Dowager Liang knew that she was out of order, so she sat down again, and said forcefully: "There is nothing in such a hollow frame that comes out of the end?" She asked, "Emperor, don't you think this is rare?" ”
How could there be nothing?
Before giving this embroidered screen to Pan's family, she watched Ruyi order someone to cut off that section of the frame, hollow it out, cut it out, and then stuff it with dangmen and poison ivy grass before pressing it back again, how could there be nothing now?
Originally, she thought that this plan would kill three birds with one stone, which would not only make the Pan family slip and get rid of Xiang Xiang, but also make the Xiang and Pan clans make enemies, and the emperor's great cause would be harmless. Even, she even prepared the charges for the crime-
The smell of poison ivy grass is vicious and poisonous, and when the door is to cover up the smell of poison ivy grass, as long as these two things fall out of the screen, she can accuse Princess Chu of having bad intentions, the criminals are monstrous, and they intend to poison the Queen Mother, just to make people, this robbery She This Mother escaped, but it accidentally happened to the innocent Pan Guifei.
Obviously, all this was planned and seamless, and when she rushed to Chenghui Palace when she heard the news, she really heard Imperial Doctor Shi getting angry, pointing to the embroidered screen and scolding the palace people, saying that this musk-stained thing, how could it enter Niangniang's body!
She was proud at the time, and thought that this plan had been accomplished, so she ordered Zong Ruyi to detain the embroidered screen that was about to be withdrawn, and asked Imperial Physician Shi if there was a problem with this embroidered screen. Imperial Physician Shi also replied yes.
But now, why is it that all the things that should be hidden in it are gone?
Empress Dowager Liang was panicking at the moment. You must know whether you can pull Xiang Yu into this lawsuit, the most important thing is not whether there are traces of musk on this screen, but whether there is poison ivy. After all, Princess Chu gave this thing to the Queen Mother, and the musk was not harmful to the Queen Mother's phoenix body. As for the Queen Mother's transfer to the concubine, what does it have to do with her?
Xiao Chai kept muttering and didn't speak, but it was Empress Dowager Li, who listened to her question, and couldn't help chuckling: "Heh, my sister thinks a lot, my sister is stupid, but I don't know if it's just an empty frame, what should be here?" ”
Empress Dowager Liang didn't care about arguing with her, so she only questioned Imperial Doctor Shi: "Imperial Doctor, when the mourning family first arrived at Chenghui Palace, they saw that you were removing this screen, so I asked you if this thing was inappropriate, and how did you return at that time!" ”
"Our Lady of the Queen Mother! Weichen didn't dare to say that this embroidery screen was contaminated with the smell of musk, and the wooden frame was made of lacquered wood, which was no obstacle to ordinary people, and the lacquered wood had the effect of prolonging life, but it was very inappropriate for pregnant women. Wei Chen saw that this thing was around the mother, and he felt that it was inappropriate, so he said at that time. Doctor Shi said: "It's just that the concubine Niangniang's surprise is not because of these two things!" ”
Empress Dowager Liang gritted her teeth: "What! ”
Xiao Zhuhu was suspicious: "What is the reason for that?" ”
Imperial Doctor Shi replied: "According to the diagnosis of the minister, the concubine should have eaten the safflower by mistake, but fortunately, God blessed her and did not eat much, otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable!" ”
As soon as Imperial Physician Shi asserted this, Empress Dowager Li and Xiang Mingdai both breathed a sigh of relief.
Since it was eaten by mistake, it would definitely not have anything to do with Princess Chu outside the palace.
Yu Wenrou, who had been listening to it for so long, was a little bored, and snorted: "It's okay now, Concubine Xian, your sister has a big life, but she can't be disliked by her!" As she spoke, she changed her words and glanced at Min Dai: "I don't know if being a sister can be innocent, and I don't have to be suspicious!" ”
Min Dai gave her a cold look, turned her head and said nothing.
Yu Wenrou punched the cotton, and was about to sarcastically mock her for a few more sentences, at this time, Pan Guifei's personal maid Cui Xuan came from the dormitory, and said, the concubine Niangniang woke up, because the imperial doctor told her that it was really not appropriate to get up, and asked His Majesty to see her in the bedroom.
