Chapter 88: Why don't you listen to your fingers?
Huang Rui'e glanced at Zhilan and said with a smile: "What does the concubine want to say when she is a concubine?" It's just someone's yellow sorghum dream, thinking that he has flown on the branch and once glorious, who knows that his feet are off the ground, and before he flutters a few times, he falls. It's ridiculous. ”
Fly on the branches, once glorious. Gao Lingxi tasted the meaning of this sentence, and only felt that it was not a taste in his heart. has already said it so explicitly, where does she still have a reason that she can't hear. When I was confused, my heart was turbulent, and I really knew the truth, but there was nothing to mutter. "That's how it counts." Gao Lingxi blinked, and her obsidian-like eyes were invisible for a moment, but it made people habitually feel that she was smiling.
Lan Xin didn't pay attention to the women behind her, with what kind of faces they mocked or ridiculed, teased or trampled on. She just wants to stabilize the harem for the emperor and maintain the somewhat deformed mother-son relationship with the queen mother. Sacrificing Zhilan may be the easiest way to work.
Only she, who is the queen, is willing to admit defeat and unconditionally obey the queen mother's decree - even if it is undeclared, can it be exchanged for the short-term peace of the harem. Lan Xin turned her heart sideways, nodded lightly to Jinlan, and motioned for her to do as she was told.
Wu Zi sighed softly, Lan Xin still remained silent, but said to Zhilan with regret: "According to the palace rules, you committed murder within the forbidden palace and killed the inner chamberlain, your crime is enough to punish your relatives." However, this palace cares about you serving in the palace and in the house for many years, and the credit is not shallow, and it is determined not to investigate it deeply. Looking at the relationship between the master and servant over the years, this palace will give you another decree, you don't have to ask for beheading, and leave you a whole corpse. ”
Jin Peizi couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, the queen obviously meant to send Zhilan down. She clearly knew the emperor's intentions, why did she take risks? Could it be that the majesty of the Queen Mother is better than the power of the emperor? I'm afraid that greed is not enough to swallow an elephant, and the queen mother may not be willing to accept it when she sees it.
At that time, not only did he fail to please the Queen Mother, but even the emperor was offended. Isn't it really that he lost his wife and broke his soldiers! The more she thought about it, the more difficult it was for Jin Peizi to be silent, she raised her eyes to look at the Queen Mother who was still pretending to be asleep, and said: "Queen Mother, whether this matter is considered in the long run, after all, there are still many doubts...... Although the hard persuasion may not work, Jin Peizi still reminded this sentence softly in a cautious heart.
"Don't say it again, this palace has already made a decision." Lan Xin didn't mean to blame, but he didn't want to implicate others in again. After all, the Queen Mother's mind is elusive, and who knows who she will choose next time to fight the disaster. Maybe Jin Peizi is not careful, and he will become an eyesore.
Gao Lingxi closed his eyes slowly, his mind seemed to be out of control. She didn't know what to say, so she simply kept silent, anyway, she didn't hear the exact words from last night's incident, and would rather do something that didn't happen, and calm her heart.
Glancing at it, the furnishings on the main hall of Cining Palace are either agarwood or golden silk nan, although there are some years, the style is a little old. The exquisite carving and the finest materials make up for the shortcomings, highlighting the royal majesty and luxury, and a seductive enchantment.
Zhilan suddenly felt that her short life was coming to an end. She wanted to cry loudly, crying for her pathetic, crying for her unwilling fighting spirit, and crying for her weakness and inability to fight. can't say hate or fear, she is just very unwilling to such a fate.
Hongli's well-defined face came to mind, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, long and straight, and his deep gaze was always bottomless. Thin lips always make people want to get close......
"Thank you, Queen." No matter how unwilling she is, she will have to accept her fate. Zhilan did not lose her etiquette this time, and every word was said very clearly. She gently bowed to the queen, no matter how unwilling she was, she would inevitably bend her waist.
At the same time, Jinlan had already walked up with a bottle of poisoned wine. The turquoise jade cup is very precious, and the sake in the cup has also turned into a beautiful emerald green. Before her death, Zhilan had never used such a precious wine vessel, and she didn't want to die, but the queen gave her such dignity.
Everyone present paid attention to the bottle of poisoned wine. Hold your breath and wait for Zhilan to drink it all.
Although the colors of the faces are very different, the thoughts are rarely the same. They were looking forward to the death of this poor palace maid, just to have one less person to share their original little favor. There is no one who does not want to have the Sacred Heart alone, and there is no one who is not afraid of others.
At this time, the Queen Mother opened her eyes. A long, narrow slit gradually opened and rounded. The bright light in his eyes seemed to be nothing, as if he was looking at something, and it was clearly empty. "It's not that the mourning family is unkind, it's true, since the queen has given you favors, you can go with peace of mind."
These meaningful words angered Zhilan at the time. What does it mean to go with peace of mind? How can she have peace of mind? Seeing that she is about to become the emperor's palace concubine, she is seeing all the hardships and scenery. Everything that is clearly within her reach, and it collapses into sand with a bang, and there is nothing left, so how can she not hate? And why did it reassure her?
Zhilan dared to be angry but didn't dare to speak, just because she was afraid that the Queen Mother would regret it and be angry with her relatives. could only deeply resist the hatred in his heart, his bloodshot eyes didn't dare to show the slightest resentment, Zhilan gently stretched out his hands to serve the poisonous wine held by Jinlan. That arm's length is her final destination.
She finally didn't say anything more, and trembled as she held the poisoned wine in her palm and stopped at her lips.
Lan Xin's gaze was calm and calm. Just like the wine in Zhilan's hand, it is a bottle of wine. It seems that from beginning to end, she was too rational and calm, and at this moment, the corners of her mouth had to twitch a few times. The tails of the eyes have to wrinkle fine lines. All the hardships poured out with such subtle movements, and my heart was suddenly not so sad.
Drink it all. Zhilan didn't take a small sip, but only wanted to ask for a pleasure. Whether she killed or not, whatever she killed, she had to die. The queen mother wanted to take her life, not directly to let people break her neck, but to borrow the queen's hand, so that the emperor hated and hated as a matter of course.
At first, she thought she could learn to be smart, and slowly moved between the queen mother, the queen, and the palace concubines. Slowly let the emperor not suspect that she was the eyeliner planted by the queen mother, and slowly got what she wanted. Be as sincere as ever, and truly become his woman, not just a humble bed warmer.
At this time, the poisoned wine was poured into her mouth, and she realized that she was so stupid. As early as when the Queen Mother rewarded two bottles of poisoned wine, her fate had already been fixed.
Gao Lingxi turned his face and said that he didn't dare to look at it anymore. She was afraid that Zhilan would spurt out a mouthful of blood and be angry on the spot. I was even more afraid of seeing Zhilan's innocent and helpless eyes. In the past, she was also the most humble maid in the palace, not much better than Zhilan, but now she has become a high-ranking concubine, but she can still experience Zhilan's helplessness and resentment.
It's a pity that she can't do anything, not even the queen.
There were all kinds of chaotic things flying in his mind, which made Gao Lingxi want to vomit several times, but he still endured it desperately.
But I heard Zhilan fall to the ground with a bang, convulsions in pain, and couldn't stop moaning. Gao Lingxi spit out with a wow, his face immediately turned gloomy, and he was about to fall down when he staggered.
Fortunately, Jin Peizi helped her, frowned and clenched her wrist: "Concubine Hui doesn't need to panic, she probably drank poisonous wine, it's like this." ”
Gao Lingxi shrunk his neck and nodded slowly, but there was still no brilliance in his eyes. It's like the whole person is shrouded in a huge haze, and he can't really see life and death, and he also makes others can't see himself.
Xiu Guiren was still pregnant, and she didn't expect that she would witness such a bloody thing when she came to ask for peace. I always feel a little uncomfortable in my abdomen, and I can't tell if it's pain or something else. But she didn't dare to make a sound, let alone move, and she didn't even dare to clench her fists. For fear that if one is not careful, the tire will be moved.
She even suspected that the queen didn't want the flesh and blood in her womb, otherwise there would be hundreds of palace punishments, why would Zhilan die on the spot, not to mention the mold, it would be too frightening.
The Queen Mother still stared at Zhilan lightly, completely ignoring her convulsions or rolling in pain, as if she was looking at some Western scenery, especially attentive.
From birth to death, it seems to be a long time. The hearts of the palace concubines were all terrified, but no one left, and no one regretted it. Some people even secretly rejoiced and rejoiced.
Lan Xin watched Zhilan breathe and no longer struggle, so he sighed softly and instructed Xue Guining: "Take the person out, send it to the mass grave, and bury it." ”
Xue Guining didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly summoned two guards to carry Zhilan, who was desperate, down according to the queen's orders.
"The palace rules are strict, and the palace relies on the Queen Mother's mercy, and it must be strictly purified. In the land of the harem, whoever dares to make a second will end up with Zhilan. Lan Xin took advantage of the most fragile moment in people's hearts, and added these words in a righteous and strict manner. When you speak to others, you also speak to yourself.
While the Queen Mother was satisfied, she couldn't help but sigh that the back waves of the Yangtze River pushed the front waves. At that time, when she was still Lan Xin's age, she didn't have such an iron fist, such courage, and so wisdom. Thinking of this, the Queen Mother couldn't help but mourn: "In the end, it is the person who has served the emperor for more than ten years, the mourning family really doesn't know, how to explain to the emperor." ”
Qi Qige almost sneered, and his life disappeared on the main hall. What the Queen Mother cares about is how to explain to the emperor, which has nothing to do with whether people die or not. Maybe this is the essence of the Queen Mother, and the difference she sees in her eyes is nothing more than useless and useless.
Otherwise, how could she let people stare at herself, how could she make a secret move, so that she could hide her imperfect bitter tricks? In other words, the Queen Mother still feels that she has some value.
Everyone had not yet recovered from Zhilan's tragic death, but they heard Li Yu's clear voice extremely sharp: "The emperor has arrived." ”
