Chapter 205: Cloud Bun Half-Fresh Sleeps
Everyone helped the pure concubine up, pressed the forehead to stop the bleeding, held the pure concubine's hand to comfort, and brought hot tea to serve. A group of people surrounded the pure concubine on the main hall of Changchun Palace.
Jinlan's face was blue, and she blamed herself: "The queen mother, it's all slaves and maids who are not good, the agate bead string in the hand of Concubine Hui Gui Niangniang is broken, and the beads have rolled to the ground." The slave has been carefully searched, and I don't want to miss one. The slave and maid are not doing well, and they hope that the queen will punish them. ”
Lan Xin didn't listen to it, but as soon as he heard this, he immediately walked down with Suo Lan's hand. "Concubine Hui, it's so decent, how could the string of agate beads in your hand be broken. Thou art inconvenient now, and if thou art not broken in this temple, would thou not be ......?"
Gao Lingxi didn't avoid the queen's suspicious gaze, only a little worried: "If it weren't for the concubine's agate bracelet being broken, Concubine Chun wouldn't have said unlucky things like that pearl." It was the concubine who was fine, but she hurt the concubine herself. ”
Su Wanrong had a terrible headache, and when she stroked her hand, her palms were full of red blood. "Queen Mother, the concubine has just spoken, and there are no beads under her feet. This is obviously Concubine Hui deliberately rolled down to the feet of the concubine. Concubine Hui must have been unhappy because of the concubine's words, so she was so insidious and injured the concubine. In case the concubine accidentally bumped into the body of Concubine Hui, wouldn't she have to bear the charge of murdering the emperor's heir. ”
knew that the queen would not help her, but Su Wanrong just couldn't swallow this breath. As Jinlan said, she searched for it several times but didn't find what was missing, but let the concubine step on it. Except for a few in Hui Guifei's hand, the rest had already been put in the treasure enamel. The concubines can't afford to be responsible for poisoning the emperor's heir, so they hope that Niangniang will know it. ”
After that, Su Wanrong glanced at Concubine Hui sadly: "If Niangniang complains about the concubine, just say it clearly." Why do you need to be so vicious to your concubines? As she spoke, Su Wanrong called the maid beside her, picked up the bead that slipped on her, and held it firmly in her palm.
As if he was afraid of losing some physical evidence.
Lan Xin didn't pay attention to Su Wanrong's words, and only ordered Jinlan: "You ask people to look carefully again, and ask Hui Guifei how many agate beads there are in this bracelet." Don't lose a single one to make sure no one slips on it. ”
Jinlan always felt that the queen was blaming herself, and her face was gloomy. "Yes, Queen." She didn't dare to let people perceive the unhappiness in her heart, so she could only obey the queen's orders more carefully.
Gao Lingxi also ignored Concubine Chun's nonsense, and only said to Jinlan: "This bead was rewarded by the fourth master when he was in the house." Nineteen in a string, plus three more in the hands of the main palace, also put in the enamel and count them again. ”
Jin Lan respectfully took the three beads in Hui Guifei's hand, carefully held them in the palm of his hand, and put them into Fang Cai's enamel. In this way, there are nineteen, one is not much, and one is not many. Where did the beads that stepped on the feet of the pure concubine come from? Isn't that bead being pinched in the hand of the pure concubine at this moment?
The cold sweat on his forehead was trickling down, and Jinlan didn't dare to chew in front of the queen and the rest. I had to tremble and hold the enamel and carefully present it to the queen.
Lan Xin saw that her face was not quite right, and she hurriedly signaled Suo Lan's points.
Suo Lan counted them one by one, and counted them out in front of everyone, until she counted the eighteenth, and she was also stunned. "Queen Mother, there are a total of nineteen agate beads in the enamel, one is not less." She spoke clearly in the queen's ear.
"A lot?" Su Wanrong covered the wound on her forehead with a silk silk and motioned for others to get out of the way. "How is this possible, isn't this one in the concubine's hand falling from the sky?" didn't care about being dizzy, Su Wanrong stood up with her body on her back, and walked slowly towards the queen, but insisted on not being helped by others. "The Queen, please take a look."
Opening her palm, Su Wanrong's eyes were a little blurry, the beads in her palm were indeed exactly the same as the agate beads that had just been scattered all over the place, whether it was color or size, there was almost no difference. "This thing was given to Concubine Hui by the emperor, and it must be the best condition. The concubines can't just grab a handful, and frame Hui Guifei Niangniang with ulterior motives. ”
Jin Peizi heard such words from Concubine Chun again and again, and was a little annoyed. She stood up gently, smiled smartly, and approached the queen to see the excitement. Then he said unhurriedly: "Hui Guifei's agate bracelet was given by the emperor, how many beads are in such a valuable thing, no one must know better than Hui Guifei."
Now with the pure concubine in the palm of your hand, one more has popped up for no reason. In front of everyone's eyes, could it be said that the pregnant Concubine Hui could do such a thing to frame you? ”
"Concubine Jia's words, do you mean that I left one to step on the soles of my feet, in a vain attempt to plot against Concubine Hui?" Su Wanrong unceremoniously replied to Concubine Jia with a sharp look. "If it's really what you think, why should I bother myself with blood."
"If you can't murder, can't you use a bitter trick?" Qi Qige interjected as if playfully: "If you kick this bead to the feet of Concubine Hui, it will not be you who falls." One method doesn't work, but you have to use another method, and you fall by yourself, and you just point the finger at others, isn't it? ”
"How can it be?" Even though Su Wanrong has always been forbearant in front of others, she still blushed when she heard such words. "Why do you say that I have the heart to step on this bead and frame Concubine Hui. How do I know that Concubine Hui's bracelet will break, so prepare an identical one in advance? Strange people need to be reasonable, if you can't come up with evidence, don't blame me for going to the emperor to accuse you of being framed. ”
Jin Peizi and Qige both thought that this matter was deliberately done by Concubine Chun, and the anger in their hearts rose in the face of her unrelenting and unyielding attitude.
"The pure concubine is the concubine master, if you feel that the concubines and others can't come up with evidence and make false accusations, you can send the concubines and others in front of the queen. Why disturb the sacred heart at every turn, the emperor has every opportunity, and he has done a big deal. Whether it's a bead or a bracelet in this harem, it's just a trivial matter between women. Jin Peizi glanced at Concubine Chun angrily, and slowly returned to her position.
Qi Qige sneered at this time, and then said: "What Concubine Jia said is good, Concubine Chun is confident that the emperor can uphold justice, aren't you afraid that this justice is exposing your ulterior motives?" Why is the bead under your feet, can you tell me clearly? For this alone, I believe that Concubine Chun will have to give everyone an explanation. Also, the exact same beads are certainly not something that can be found in a day. Concubine Chun, how long have you been planning, I'm afraid that the emperor will also be interested. ”
Su Wanrong's eyes turned red with hatred, and she said with hatred: "In the past, I always thought that the wind in this harem was omnipresent. But I don't know that people's hearts are like grass on the wall, all of them will turn with the direction of the wind, where will there be any truth at all. Today it is with me, and you can make any random accusations, but in the future, when it comes to you, don't blame me for not reminding you of this beforehand. ”
"Then thank you Concubine Chun for your kindness." Jin Peizi said in unison.
"Enough of that?" Lan Xin twisted the agate bead that made Su Wanrong slip, and said coldly: "Intrigues, verbal battles, I don't even know how to restrain myself in front of this palace." You've all taken my words as a deaf ear, haven't you? ”
The queen was furious, and the palace concubines naturally showed their relatives, were uneasy, and closed their mouths stupidly.
Gao Lingxi was the first to get up and led the rest of the people to respectfully bless their bodies: "The concubines and many others are not, which makes the queen feel tired." Who knew that a bracelet that had been with a concubine for many years would be broken. It's good that the concubine wasn't hurt, but it made the pure concubine suffer. ”
In fact, Gao Lingxi never thought that Concubine Chun would use this dropped bead to damage her dragon fetus. After all, this was a sudden event, and she didn't expect that the bracelet would break, where would Concubine Chun be so smart.
Lan Xin glanced at Concubine Hui and said, "Take the silk thread that was broken just now and let the palace take a look." ”
Gao Lingxi didn't dare to be sloppy, so she let Bi Lan pick it up, and Wu Zi stepped forward and handed it to the queen with both hands.
"If this palace is not mistaken, this bracelet is some years old. Why is the silk thread still so new? It seems to have never been soaked in water, with a faint soft light. Lan Xin sensed at a glance that something was wrong.
"Back to the queen, the bracelet was handed over to the Internal Affairs Office for renovation yesterday. Because the mother knocked over the osmanthus nectar before, it stained the bead core. Specially asked the servants of the Internal Affairs Office to hand it over to the treasure office to clean it up, put it on, and send it back. Bi Lan cautiously replied to the queen's words. The bracelet was delivered before I came over early this morning. Because Hui Guifei liked it, she hurriedly came to bring it, so the silk thread was new and had not been soaked in water. ”
When Bi Lan said this, Gao Lingxi suddenly felt a little strange. "No wonder Bengong twisted the beads slightly, and the thread was broken, because the thread was not strong."
Lan Xin listened to her words, pinched the two ends of the broken silk thread with both hands, and pulled it slightly, and sure enough, the silk thread was torn off again with a "clatter". It didn't take much effort at all.
Everyone was shocked, and they all looked at Concubine Hui with suspicion.
"What's going on?" Gao Lingxi was angry and impetuous: "Okay, the servants of the Internal Affairs Office are becoming more and more distracted." Even Hongu dared to fool him. Bi Lan, you quickly asked someone, whose hand did this thing pass through, bring Changchun Palace to the palace, and let the queen mother inquire carefully. ”
Su Wanrong snorted coldly, yin and yang weird: "In other words, even if someone adds a bead to it, you won't be able to find out about it." In this way, the concubine's injury was destined for Wanrong early on. ”
"Chew nonsense." Where would Gao Lingxi agree with Concubine Chun's slander: "The agate bracelet was given by the emperor, how many beads are there, how long the bracelet is, will the palace rub it on the palm and wrist every day?" Concubine Chun should not be too reckless, and dare to squirt anything out of her mouth. ”
