Chapter 153: Disturbed mood is half idle
Hongli glanced at the nurse who could still talk to him, and secretly hated: "When did the queen take the nurse into Changchun Palace?" ”
Lan Xin frowned: "Last night." ”
"Why did you come here at this time?" It's still a cold and stiff tone. Without waiting for Lan Xin to speak, Hongli continued: "If you didn't deliberately hide it, why didn't you inform me earlier." As a queen, how can you fail to take care of even one of the most important people? The last sentence is actually Hongli's sincerity, not that she suspects that the queen is dishonest to herself, but that she can do better.
"In this way, the emperor thinks that the concubines are selfless and obvious." Lan Xin's words fell, and he heard the first door creak and be pushed open.
Xue Guining and the others did not dare to trespass, and waited quietly in the door.
"Come in, y'all." Lan Xin is not Wulanarapanyu, she really loves the emperor and is unwilling to conflict with him. When everyone walked in, Lan Xin said, "What happened last night, Xue Guining, you made it clear to the emperor word for word." ”
Xue Guining got the queen's orders, and did not dare to omission to truthfully recount what happened last night. Duo Lan and Jin Lan nodded from time to time, their eyes were determined, and they were not half panicked.
None of them knew that at this moment, Ruying, who was lying on the bed, had lost her breath.
Duo Lan didn't understand why the queen was kneeling and crying, she knelt behind the queen obediently and handed over the veil.
Lan Xin didn't answer, she didn't feel her tears, only heartache.
kept his head calm, Hongli took a breath and thought quietly, if what Xue Guining said was true, Ruying was indeed imprisoned in the Forbidden City by the Queen Mother. So who is the jade plate in her mouth, and why hasn't the Queen Mother killed her? Isn't that person close at hand, and when he learns the news of her violent death, he will present the jade plaque to himself?
Therefore, the Queen Mother had to ask questions, but she couldn't act rashly.
But what kind of person can quickly know whether the nurse is dead or alive, and can threaten the queen mother?
Feeling more and more confused, Hongli didn't have the heart to pay attention to Lan Xin, who felt aggrieved at this time. "The queen will go to Cining Palace to serve the sick, I am tired, and I will return to the Heart Cultivation Hall after dealing with the aftermath of the nurse."
"Your Majesty, don't you still want to trust your concubines?" Lan Xin's voice was still the same as before, but it was full of heart-piercing longing. "Your Majesty, the concubine really didn't murder the nurse!"
"I know, I also know that the nurse's death was not an accident." Hongli didn't want to explain, he still felt a faint pain in his heart, the nurse watched herself grow up, although there was no blood traction, but distress can't deceive people. "I don't want to say anything else, and the queen doesn't need to say more."
Hongli brushed his sleeves away, and then instructed Li Yu: "Bring out the body of the inner bed and bury it in a secluded place." After passing the decree, my nurse passed away, and I was exempted from the deliberations of the late dynasty, and I ...... I want to talk to the nurse. ”
Li Yu's jaw was almost dislocated in surprise, the emperor was fine when he went to bed, why did he come out and say that he was dead. Let's say that it is the queen's bedroom, how can there be a corpse. "Huh." Although he was curious, Li Yu only dared to bow his head and obey the instructions obediently and prudently.
"You come with me." Li Yu took the two inner guards and walked in cautiously.
Inside the house, the queen, Xue Guining and others still maintained a kneeling posture, motionless.
"Queen Mother, don't blame the slave, the slave is also a decree......" Li Yu had never seen the queen so sad, and she couldn't help but feel uncomfortable.
Lan Xin bowed his head and hooked his lips as if he wanted to laugh: "How can this palace blame you, no one in this palace is to blame." "If you want to blame yourself, you can only blame yourself for not calculating to this point, and you can only blame yourself for not being able to protect the person who is so important to the emperor.
"Xue Guining, prepare for Fengyin, this palace is going to Cining Palace to ask to see the Queen Mother." Lan Xin sighed before he said to Li Yu: "I'll leave it to you here." ”
Gao Xiang never left, just outside the gate of Changchun Palace. Seeing the queen coming on the phoenix, he greeted him respectfully: "Let the slave lead the way for the queen." ”
Lan Xin sneered, feeling unbearable: "Why hasn't Father-in-law Gao left yet, didn't the palace just say that there is no kung fu?" ”
"Back to the Queen's words." Gao Xiang didn't care, knowing that the queen was not embarrassed by himself: "The queen mother said that the queen mother will definitely come." ”
Duo Lan and Jin Lan both heard the meaning, and both pulled down their faces. The horror of this night was undecided, and they were already in a hurry, who knew that the person who was desperately protected was still poisoned in the Changchun Palace. What the hell is going on?
As if he suddenly remembered something, Lan Xin suddenly turned his head and said to Xue Guining: "Before the palace returns to Changchun Palace, lock the palace door, and no one is allowed to step in or out." In addition, it is rumored that Cao Xu is waiting outside the palace gate. ”
His expression changed slightly, Gao Xiang didn't expect the queen to have such a decree, how could the person who stayed in the Changchun Palace and poisoned escape? Does the queen want to follow Yafu and search Changchun Palace again?
If you can't do this thing, I'm afraid that the Queen Mother will blame it again. Gao Xiang originally stayed here, but he also wanted to take the opportunity to accept the servants who were still in the palace, but in the end he was defeated by the queen's wisdom.
"Father-in-law Gao doesn't have to worry, although the palace is not a delirium and his heart palpitations are calm, he can still serve the queen mother well." Lan Xin caught the subtle expression on Gao Xiang's face, and knew that this matter must be inseparable from him, so he said: "If the father-in-law runs an errand, he will definitely be able to please the Queen Mother, and it doesn't matter if he doesn't do it well, there must be a place for the father-in-law to go in the huge Forbidden City." ”
Compared with Yafu, Gao Xiang is obviously much more immature, first, he is still young, and secondly, he has been serving the Queen Mother for a short time. So he inevitably had scruples about the queen's intimidation and deterrence. On his face, he pretended that nothing had happened, and it was smooth as water. "What the queen mother said is true, the slave can only be cautious and errand so as not to annoy the queen mother."
"It's good that my father-in-law understands in his heart." If this is the case, Lan Xin has no more gossip. Close your eyes and wipe away the tears on your face that have already been wiped dry. One breath sank in her abdomen, and her mind kept thinking about various methods, how would she face the Queen Mother.
After calming down and thinking about it, Lan Xin suddenly understood many things. Why did Yafu go to the miscellaneous courtyard to find someone before searching the palace, knowing that Na Ruying would not go back. It is clear that he wants Jinlan to detect and secretly rescue.
The more hours delayed in Changchun Palace, the longer Ruying stayed, and the more tortuous the experience during the period, the more it could arouse the emperor's suspicions. Yafu deliberately left Ruying alive, deliberately trying to make things out of control.
"The concubines see the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother is blessed with Jin'an." Lan Xin's tone was calm, but he did not hide the chagrin in his heart.
The Queen Mother leaned on the cushion, supported her cheeks with one hand, and wrapped a thick white cotton cloth around her other arm, oozing red blood. "Bothering the queen to serve the sick is definitely not the wish of the mourning family, it is really difficult to clear the harem discipline, who would have thought that the mourning family's Cining Palace would appear so shameful. It's just stealing, and he even dares to stab the mourners. ”
Glancing at Yafuxu, the Queen Mother asked her to help herself sit up: "It's all bad for the mourning family, I have experienced strong winds and waves, and I broke over, but I capsized in the small river ditch." was made like this by the people around him, which didn't make the queen laugh. ”
Yafu's hands trembled slightly, but he naturally picked up the hot tea, pretending to be too hot and his hands trembled. Respectfully handed it to the Queen Mother: "The Queen Mother should take a sip of hot tea to moisten her throat." ”
"Queen, too." The Queen Mother took the teacup and said unhurriedly: "That person has disappeared without a trace in the harem now, which really gives the mourning family a headache." If you run to the palace next to you, I really don't know if those palace concubines who are like young leaves will be able to resist and die like the mourning family. If you are a little careless, I am afraid that it will be the queen's negligence again. ”
"Concubines are guilty. However, the Queen Mother is compassionate and compassionate, and the sinner will definitely be caught. Lan Xinsenran's gaze was modified under gentleness: "The concubine has heard about Lingyi. ”
The Queen Mother lowered her eyes and asked calmly, "What?" ”
"There is a nurse named Ruying in the emperor, and she just passed away. For this reason, the emperor is even exempt from this evening, thinking of talking to the deceased, I don't know if the queen mother knows about it? Lan Xin stared at the Queen Mother in front of her with a good gaze, her facial expressions, her subtle movements, all seemed so natural, so at ease, without joy or sorrow, all in her heart.
Shaking her head, the Queen Mother was a little surprised: "It's true that Ruying is the emperor's nurse, but a few years ago, she had already returned to her hometown." How could her death cause such a big stir in the palace. But that's it, the emperor misses the old love, and it is inevitable that he cares, and the mourning family is also relieved, he can be so filial and heartfelt. ”
"Then, let the concubine say another thing to the Queen Mother." Lan Xin was a little annoyed, forcibly suppressed the resistance in her heart, and said slowly: "This nurse didn't die in her former residence, where she was recuperating. Instead, he died in the concubine's Changchun Palace, in the concubine's inner bed. And it's not the end of life, it's poisoning. The Queen Mother is not curious, how did the skinny nurse enter the Forbidden City?
Why did the crazy old woman who was about to die die with bruises all over her body and hatred? Also, who wrote the jade plate in her hand, and what kind of shocking secret was written? And now it's hidden? Also, before she died, what did she say to the emperor, who caused such a miserable old age? Doesn't the Queen Mother want to know all this? ”
