Chapter 142: The green girl blooms before the frost

"What rose? The slave doesn't know. Xilan's eyes widened and she was terrified: "If you want to blame, Niangniang, you have to come up with real evidence." You can't smash the palace maid to death in the Chengqian Palace, so you can find a slave and maid to be a substitute for the dead ghost, right? ”

"Don't worry, this palace will never wronged you." Pan Yu stood up unhurriedly, slowly walked to Gui Kui's side, and gently pointed to the sachet that Xilan was carrying: "Take it off and let the emperor see it." ”

Xilan was puzzled, and took off the sachet with trembling hands: "This sachet slave has always been with me, what will be wrong." With hatred in her hand, she angrily handed the thing into Li Yu's hand.

Li Yu forwarded it to the emperor, and stepped aside without saying a word.

Hongli never opened the sachet, put it in front of his nose and sniffed it gently, and said, "It is indeed the smell of rose nitrate." I still remember that this powder has medicinal effects and can cure apricot tinea spots. I asked people to mix it up, and only gave it to the concubine. ”

"Because it is made by extracting rose flower juice and mixing it with spice silver nitrate, the smell of this rose nitrate is particularly good. You can wear it as a powder. Pan Yu glanced at the emperor with great gratitude, warm and affectionate. Now that it's on you, isn't it enough to explain your thoughts? ”

"What a guts." Lan Xin sighed quietly, and immediately glared at Xilan: "Since it is something that the emperor rewarded the concubine, how dare you use it as a slave." Let's not talk about whether the collapse of Liang Dong has anything to do with you, this arrogance alone is enough to punish you. ”

Xilan's brain hadn't turned around yet, and there would be rose nitrate in the sachet he carried, how could this be possible? She couldn't think about it, Gui Kui was already approaching, and he was about to clamp her wrist hidden behind her.

"Your Majesty, Queen Mother, the slave and maid are wronged, the slave and the maid are wronged......" Xilan's frightened voice sounded extremely harsh, hoarse like a broken sand and stone rubbing the cochlea, which made people uncomfortable. Don't wow, don't, Concubine Xian, please look at the master-servant relationship over the years, just spare the slave and maid this time, the slave and maid don't dare. The slave didn't dare anymore. ”

"Upper clip." Pan Yu still did not change his tone, and his eyebrows were cold, revealing a terrifying majesty. "If it weren't for the love of the master and servant for many years, this palace would have handed you over to the servants of the Prudent Criminal Division for severe interrogation. Being able to let you be in front of the emperor and queen, to tell the truth, is already a great gift, Xilan, don't be dissatisfied. ”

Gui Kui listened to Concubine Xian's voice and knew that he was not scaring Xilan to play, so he reached out with his right arm and grabbed Xilan's wrist. The two little eunuchs who were waiting on the side were very eye-catching, and hurriedly jumped forward to help Gui Kui, grabbed Xilan's hand, and stuffed it into the bamboo clip.

A few heart-rending screams even drowned out the thunder, lightning, and violent wind and rain outside the window. The poignant and terrifying voice meandered above the main hall, hovering in everyone's ears, and never left for a long time. It makes people's scalps tingle and their hearts are restless.

Hongli kept fiddling with the tourmaline wrench in his hand, without any expression. What he cares more about is how Panyu deals with the unscrupulous maids. And Lan Xin just frowned and listened, without the slightest intention of obstruction. After all, Concubine Xian is the master of the concubine, so she has to be alone. It's just that she doesn't know if she looks too strong and will make the emperor dissatisfied.

Panyu calmly watched as the blood dripped from the cracks in the bamboo, instantly staining the ground red. And Xilan's originally soft and slender fingers seemed to be deformed in an instant, hideous like a severed earthworm, randomly branched, and did not look good. Her heart suddenly felt a little happy.

Calculating the master and seducing the emperor are all capital crimes, just crippled Xilan's hand, which really cheapened her. Thinking so, his lips pursed tighter. Panyu didn't stop at all, but became more and more intolerant of Xilan's ghost crying wolf: "If you still have the strength, you might as well confess your crimes, are you afraid that there will be no time for you to cry?" ”

Xilan raised her head in despair, her eyes were already bloodshot, no matter how much she struggled, she couldn't get rid of the three fathers-in-law who were holding her back. "Concubine Xian, the slave really didn't do anything to Liang Dong. Slaves...... The slave and maid are just crooked...... Want to save ...... Amma. ”

"What's going on?" Lan Xin heard Xilan's vain attempt to climb the dragon and the phoenix, his brows furrowed, and he glanced at Concubine Xian with some resentment. Since entering the palace, Concubine Xian's life has been really bumpy. Even the palace maids beside him had such shameless thoughts. If I hadn't found it early, I would have fulfilled Xilan's wish, but I was afraid that I would have a headache again.

"Back to the Queen's words." Xilan burst into tears and was in unbearable pain, and said intermittently: "The slave and maid Ama is the official of the Gyeonggi Soldiers and Horses, and was arrested by the Shuncheon Mansion on trumped-up charges because he offended the superior officials...... Wrongfully accused Amma of accepting bribes and plundering property. He will be beheaded in the near future. ”

Xilan turned her direction and endured the pain and kowtowed to Concubine Xian again and again: "But the slave's Ama is just a soldier and horse official who is not in the stream, who would bribe him for no reason...... The slave knew that Ama was wronged, but there was really no way, so she made this decision...... Concubine Xian Niangniang, please, be gracious, spare Xilan this time, the slave and maid will never dare again. ”

"Removed the clip." Pan Yu coldly withdrew a breath of evil air, his heart was full of heart, and he said unhappily: "The affairs of the court, the harem must not be discussed. But Xilan, if you have a grievance, you can explain to this palace, even if it is to ask this palace to intercede with the emperor on your behalf. Nor should it be made. The anger was still difficult to subside, and Pan Yu rubbed his eyebrows: "Don't use it for a hundred times if you are unfaithful once, the Chengqian Palace of this palace can't tolerate you." Gui Kui, get people out. ”

"Don't, mother, the slave Amma is really wronged. Be gracious and save him. Your Majesty, the slave and maid are wronged, the emperor ...... "Xilan struggled, even if Bo died, he wanted to save Amma. But she didn't know that the human heart is the softest and hardest.

When it is soft, maybe a few tears can touch the emotional intestines, but it is really hard, and a sharp knife may not be able to poke it in.

"The concubines have no way to discipline the slaves and maids, and it is the fault of the concubines to make the emperor and queen worried." Pan Yu lowered his eyes, changed his awe-inspiring manner, and was a little unsure of his gentleness.

Lan Xin was about to say a few words of comfort and comfort, but Xue Lan broke in: "Your Majesty, the queen, it's not good, the pure concubine is gone." ”

"What do you say? The pure concubine is gone? How could a good pure concubine not be seen? Before the emperor could speak, Pan Yu turned around and stared at Xue Lan in surprise: "Didn't the pure concubine go to the inner bed to change her wet clothes?" The people in the palace are with you, this is only half a cup of tea, how can people not see it. ”

"The slave didn't know that the slave and the maid were not familiar with the Chengqian Palace, so they asked the maid in the palace to lead the slave and maid to fetch a basin of hot water, and when she came back, the pure concubine was gone. In the wing room, only the mother changed the wet flag outfit, and the hibiscus hairpin that the mother used to tie her hair in a bun. Xue Lan said as she presented the hairpin: "It's so windy and rainy outside, Niangniang will definitely not go out by herself, and the slave really doesn't know what's going on." ”

"Li Yu, you take someone to look for it, and search the rooms inside and outside the Chengqian Palace." The thick ink that Hongli's eyebrows can't dissolve looks a little deeper at this time.

"Your Majesty, but what did you think?" Lan Xin saw that his eyebrows were cold, and asked speculatively. "Isn't it that the pure concubine is gone, and Liang Dong collapsed...... Is it the same person? ”

"That's what I think." Hongli said lightly and seriously: "I thought that Liang Mu fell down and was aimed at Concubine Xian." But what if not. Has the queen thought about it? ”

It was really a word to wake up the person in the dream, and Lan Xin suddenly realized. "What the emperor said is exact. If you are doing your hands and feet on that beam, you are going to Concubine Xian, why don't you wait until Concubine Xian bathes before falling down? Instead, I couldn't wait to smash the palace maid to death......"

"The emperor, the queen's mother, the concubine remembered something." Pan Yu was also suspicious when he heard this: "If it is really not for the concubine, then it may be Wei Lan." A few days ago, Wei Lan fell into the water in the Imperial Garden, but fortunately, Gui Kui passed by at that time, and happened to understand the nature of water and rescued her.

Because nothing else happened, the concubine thought that she was careless. But now that I think about it, it must have been deliberately done by someone. What the concubines couldn't understand was that they deliberately wanted Weilan to fall into the water, and it was clear that it was murder. Why did the concubine ask in time, but Wei Lan said that it was a mistake! ”

"It's simple." Jin Peizi said softly: "It must be Wei Lan who wants to defend this person." ”

Hongli was determined, and his eyes flashed coldly: "Let people go and see that Weilan...... But there's something wrong with that. ”

Le Lan remembered something, that night, she did hear Wei Lan arguing with others. But it was far away, and the other party didn't speak, and when she got closer, the man was gone. asked Wei Lan, she just shook her head vigorously, telling herself not to ask, is this the cause of Wei Lan's death?

"Did you remember something?" Panyu saw that Le Lan was full of worries, and even more dignified than if he had just been suspected. "What about Vilan?"

The slave remembered that a few days ago, Wei Lan came back with several packets of medicine from the imperial pharmacy. And it's still in the dead of night every day, secretly frying and drinking, it's really strange. Le Lan didn't want to say it, for fear that these would be unsightly filth. But she didn't want Wei Lan to die so unclear, so she confessed to her. "The slave and maid are suspicious, those medicines are not for curing diseases, but for ......"

"And what?" Panyu did not reproach Le Lan for not saying it earlier, but was eager to know what was going on. "Say it quickly, everyone is dead, what else is there to hide."

Biting her lower lip hard, Le Lan calmed down and said embarrassedly: "The slave is suspicious, that is simply a medicine for the fetus." ”

"The pearl fetus is secretly knotted, and he still wants to kill people and kill people." Lan Xin exhaled a deep breath: "Do you think you can destroy the corpse and destroy the traces, this palace wants to see who has this ability." ”
