Chapter 31: Execution of Mama He
"Your Mama He has been by the Empress Dowager's side for many years, and she is the patriarch of the palace, so she is most familiar with the rules of this palace. You said that the palace did not obey the Empress Dowager's decree and beat you for no reason, and you still have to go to the Empress Dowager to sue me. How dare you say so easily? ”
Xiao Ruyue smiled like a flower, her face was harmless, but she was full of lethality.
"The queen mother's life! The old slave knows that he is wrong! The Empress Dowager, her old man, is not in the Reva Palace! But this is what the Empress Dowager ordered the old slave to block when she sees you! Seeing that Shen Liang's hand was about to go down, Mama He hurriedly shouted.
Xiao Ruyue raised her hand to signal Shen Liang to stop, and Mama He hurriedly crawled to Xiao Ruyue's feet.
"Thank you for sparing your life, thank you for sparing your life. Too, the Empress Dowager and Concubine Ye went to the Imperial Garden. Just gone. Before leaving, he told the old slave to stay, and when he saw the queen, you don't need to be polite, just block back. ”
"So Mama took it upon herself to give the palace a closed-door meal? Who gave you the right? Xiao Ruyue smiled and looked back at Yinlin, "According to the palace rules, what should Mama He do?" ”
"Back to Niangniang, Mama He's bullying the queen is regarded as bullying the king," Yinlin said and paused, "It should be given death." ”
"Mother, it's not me! It's really not an old slave! It's the order of the Queen Mother! ”
Xiao Ruyue said: "Then take it down." Ignoring Mama He who shouted at the top of her voice.
Talking and laughing, killing people does not see blood.
The guards dragged Mama He away, and she wailed all the way, shouting "The Queen Mother helps" and "The Queen Mother spares her life", but no one paid attention.
The guards of the Luhua Palace, as well as the other palace people who were cleaning, shivered. No one dared to speak out.
Xiao Ruyue turned around indifferently and ordered the people behind her to wait, "Let's go, go to the Imperial Garden." ”
The Great Summer is in the west, the spring is already late, Tanglin is already late spring at this time, and there is a full garden here that cannot be closed, and a branch of red apricot comes out of the wall.
There are many exotic flowers and plants that are not found in the garden by the people, which are extremely precious, and they bloom brilliantly under the careful care of the florist.
Turn along the path, there is a pavilion with pentagonal eaves, called Yingchun Pavilion.
In the Spring Festival Pavilion, the Empress Dowager and Ye Guifei chatted freely about genuine tea, talking and laughing.
Xiao Ruyue came to the pavilion and gave a salute, "The concubine visits the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager is blessed with Jin'an." ”
The Empress Dowager's laughter stopped abruptly, and Ye Haitang's expression was also stunned, and they all turned around.
"The queen is not in good health, so she doesn't have a good life to rest and recuperate in the Invite Feng Palace, what are you doing here?" The Empress Dowager's tone was not good.
Xiao Ruyue stood up and approached the pavilion, Ye Haitang got up and symbolically blessed Xiao Ruyue, "The concubine knocks on the queen." ”
"Excuse me. It is more difficult for this palace to see you, the concubine, than to see the king, and the palace can't afford this gift. Xiao Ruyue waved her hand and sat down by herself.
The Empress Dowager's face was not to mention how unhappy she was, "Empress, the mourning family is talking to Ye Guifei, if you are okay, you should go back." ”
"How can that work? The concubine made a special trip to greet the imperial grandmother. Xiao Ruyue spoke, and poured a cup of tea by herself.
The tea soup flowed down from the teapot, the goose yellow was clear, the color was bright, obviously much stronger than the one in the Invite Feng Palace, but it was exactly the same as the tea in the Wei Palace.
The Empress Dowager snorted, "I haven't seen the Empress go to the Reva Hall in the past, what gust of wind is blowing today?" I'm afraid the mourning family can't afford it. ”
"I'm afraid you can't afford it, the concubine. However, since you are the emperor's grandmother, Min'er still asks for peace as usual. Xiao Ruyue said casually.
This is a suspicion of great disrespect.
I saw that the Empress Dowager's face changed, and she subconsciously glanced at Ye Haitang, but she didn't say anything.
Yinlin and Greenyi's faces also changed, and they all looked at Xiao Ruyue, very worried.
Shen Liang was still as always, expressionless, quietly following behind Xiao Ruyue, as if it was none of his business.
"The Empress Dowager, the concubine just disposed of a He Mama in Luhua Palace, she was full of lies in front of the concubine, and she even dared to use the Empress Dowager and your old man as a shield, and the concubine has already executed her in accordance with the palace rules."
"What did you say!" The Empress Dowager took the case and was incredulous, "You say it again." ”
At this time, a little eunuch from the Luhua Hall trotted all the way to the scene.
He hurriedly ran all the way, obviously to tell the Empress Dowager about the killing of Mama He, and when he saw Xiao Ruyue present, he didn't dare to speak.
"What are you afraid of, speak!" The Empress Dowager shouted.
The little eunuch trembled, and hurriedly told the queen mother about the execution of Mama He.
"Situ Min, you are so bold! Do you know that Mama He is an old man who has been with her family for decades! Who gave you such a great right to execute the mourners! Now the Empress Dowager was furious.
"Back to the Empress Dowager, everything the concubines do has palace rules to follow, and there is no misconduct. Mama He, insulting the concubines in front of the Luhua Palace, has no mother of the country, and is guilty of bullying the king. She also kept saying that this was the Empress Dowager's decree, and it was even more of a crime, giving her a death, and the concubines were already merciful. If it weren't for the decades of love for Mama He by your side, the concubine would have ordered Mama He to be punished by the three clans. ”
On the other hand, Xiao Ruyue smiled lightly and without anger.
Compared with the two, the Empress Dowager has been defeated.
"The queen is so angry! Mama He has served by the side of the Queen Mother for many years, and there is no merit and hard work. Does Ming'er also want a sentence, and say to the Queen Mother that you will kill and kill? Ye Haitang sneered.
Xiao Ruyue looked at her when she heard this, and her bright eyes suddenly sharpened, "Ye Guifei's words made the palace so puzzled." The Empress Dowager is the emperor's grandmother and the elder of the palace, how dare the palace be so easy to kill? Unless, the prince is guilty of the same crime as the people, is Ye Guifei implying that the empress dowager has committed the capital crime of killing her head? ! ”
Ye Haitang is not an ordinary boudoir woman, she has seen the big wind and waves in the world. However, at this moment of the queen's gaze, she was a little timid.
In those clear and transparent eyes, there seems to be a sharp insight into everything, which makes people have nowhere to hide.
But this timidity flashed, Ye Haitang quickly regained his composure, and refuted Xiao Ruyue unhurriedly: "What did the queen mother say, the concubine never said that the queen mother had committed a crime, do you want to be guilty of the queen mother's crime, do you still want to blame the queen mother?" The queen knows that this is a big disrespect. ”
Xiao Ruyue didn't answer, drank the tea in the cup, and got up to say goodbye.
It doesn't matter how the Empress Dowager and Ye Haitang react.
Leaving from the Imperial Garden, Xiao Ruyue returned to the Invitation Phoenix Palace.
Fang Weiyong spread the word that the king was going to come over to invite the Feng Palace for lunch, and at this time, the palace people who invited the Feng Palace were busy under the command of Yin Lin.
On the contrary, Xiao Ruyue, the main owner, was idle and sat in a daze.
Liang Qiu Yayin sat beside her.
"Sister Yayin, but you think I was too ruthless when I dealt with that Mama He today?" Xiao Ruyue suddenly propped up her chin and looked at her.
Liang Qiu Yayin nodded.
"That sister must also think that I have no respect for the Empress Dowager and my elders."
Liang Qiu Yayin thought for a moment and said, "This empress dowager is very weird, are you testing her?" ”
"My sister will understand in two days." Xiao Ruyue didn't want to hide it from her.
She said that she was afraid that the Empress Dowager would not be able to bear her greeting, and the Empress Dowager was obviously a little panicked, but she subconsciously looked at Ye Haitang. And when Ye Haitang spoke, the Empress Dowager never opened her mouth again.
This proves all the more that her guess is right.
Probably none of them knew that she was Situ Min and Xiao Ruyue, and she had known the Queen Mother before.
She had never been willing to hide her thoughts, "You weren't like that before. At that time, you were outspoken, and you had one thing to say and two to say. But now ......"
She didn't seem to know what to say, and after a pause, she said, "You disappeared for ten years, and it is rumored that you are dead, but you suddenly became another person after ten years, and you refuse to tell me what you are for, I can understand, but you know, when I saw that Shen Liang go to see me with your handwritten letter, I still thought it was a dream." Shen Liang took me into the palace, and I thought that someone imitated your handwriting to deceive me, until you called me sister, I couldn't believe it was you. But I didn't ask. Can you tell me today what happened to your death ten years ago? Why did your former husband remarry, and why did he completely wipe out his relationship with the Xiao family, so ruthless. ”
"I ...... Sister Yayin, I don't know how to say it to you. There are some things that even I don't know how they happened. I don't know where to start. Xiao Ruyue spoke earnestly.
Liang Qiu Yayin saw that she was embarrassed, so she didn't ask any more.
"When you figure it out and figure it out, tell me as soon as possible. Okay? ”
Xiao Ruyue nodded solemnly.
Liang Qiu Yayin smiled and regained her indifference, "I have already seen the Ye Guifei you want me to see, but I can't draw conclusions yet, and I will tell you when I have the answer when I get back." ”
"Thank you, Sister Yayin."
While she was talking in the room, there was a voice outside, "Your Excellency has arrived", and she said that she was going back to her room to read a medical book.
Xiao Ruyue didn't stop either.
Liang Qiu Yayin is a person outside the world, she doesn't care much about red tape, in her eyes, Yu Wenhe is her Xiao Ruyue's husband, nothing else, she is not willing to bow to Yu Wenhe, which is a big rebellion in the eyes of others.
Therefore, every time Yuwen He comes to invite Feng Palace, Liang Qiu Yayin will simply avoid it.
This is also a good way to reduce conflict.
The palace has always been a well-informed place. When Yu Wenhe came, about "The queen mother took advantage of the Empress Dowager's absence in the Luhua Hall to show her phoenix power and execute the most relied on by the Empress Dowager's side, Mama He, and the Empress Dowager was furious. The news has spread throughout the palace.
Yu Wenhe, naturally, also knows.
And it's not just that "the queen mother executed the queen mother's most relied on He Mama", "and the queen rudely contradicted the queen mother, and there was no one in her eyes".
"If these rumors go out of the palace, the queen will become a sinner who has lost her morals and depraved behavior." When Yu Wenhe saw Xiao Ruyue, he said so.
