Chapter 68 Each has its own scheming
Not to be outdone, Shui Ling'er responded, "Do you think I will be coaxed by your rhetoric?" ”
"When have I ever spoken to you?"
Shui Ling'er was stunned, and suddenly turned around with a blush, she was rarely shy and didn't dare to look at Situ Jing squarely.
Situ Jing hugged her from behind, rested his head on her neck, and said in her ear: "Shui Ling'er, I came to Chu State this time to bring you back, not to quarrel with you." He stroked her waist with both hands, and the thought of his naked body under the cloak made his body hot.
But the time they could meet was only a quarter of an hour, and he had to send her to the carriage, he couldn't embarrass General Yan, let alone let Dongfang Yu know that he was in the Chu State.
Shui Ling'er turned around and said, "Brother Jing, I'll go with you." ”
"It's not time yet, when everything is ready, I'll take you away, you go back to Dongfang Yu first, don't tell him about our meeting."
"Okay." Shui Ling'er believed that Situ Jing would come to pick her up.
Situ Jing couldn't help but look at Shui Ling'er's cloak, he could usually control his lust, why was he a little out of control at this time, he said, "Shui Ling'er, don't you want to wear a piece of clothing and go back?" "There were his clothes in the cupboard to wear for her.
"Ziyi said that she wanted Brother Yu to see that I was not wearing clothes."
Situ Jing frowned and said, "You let Dongfang Yu see your body?" "She is the concubine he married into the door, how can she let others see naked.
"I'll cover it with a quilt and won't show it to him directly." She understood that Ziyi was going to use this to tell Dongfang Yu about Concubine Chen's situation.
Situ Jing stretched out his hand to tie Shui Ling'er's cloak tightly, and said, "Be careful in everything, except for me, don't let other men touch your body, and don't trust Ziyi too much." ”
Back then, he took in the homeless purple clothes on the side of the road and trained her to become an attendant, but he didn't expect her to be from Chu State, but now she has become Dongfang Yu's person.
"I know." Shui Ling'er was reluctant to hug Situ Jing again, and said, "Brother Jing, I'll wait for you to pick me up." ”
Situ Jing nodded and said, "I'll pick you up as soon as possible." ”
Before he sent her out of the room, he took her by the hand and spoke something in her ear.
Shui Ling'er said with a difficult face: "Brother Jing, this is so difficult." ”
Situ Jing smiled and said, "Do what I say, Concubine Chen will definitely be punished by Dongfang Yu." ”
Shui Ling'er nodded understandingly, and before walking out of the door, she stood on tiptoe and kissed Situ Jing's lips, and then walked out quickly.
Situ Jing closed the door and turned around panting slightly, Shui Ling'er was simply a charm for him.
On the west side of the town, Ziyi quickly came to the outside of the temple, heavily guarded, and there were officials standing on the stairs, she found a little eunuch and said, "I am the purple Yi next to Miss Shui Ling'er, please help me inform the emperor." ”
The little eunuch chuckled and said, "Girl in purple, you also know the rules of worshipping the Buddha, so you can't go in and disturb you." ”
Ziyi frowned and said, "Miss Shui Ling'er is a person valued by the emperor, please go in and report it." ”
"Girl in purple, don't embarrass me."
Ziyi knew that this little eunuch couldn't help him, and said, "Then help me find the little Sizi manager, okay?" ”
"Okay."
The little eunuch walked into the temple quickly, and walked out after a while, followed by Xiao Sizi.
When Xiao Sizi saw Ziyi, he saluted with a smile on his face and said, "Why didn't the girl in purple accompany Miss Shui Ling'er to distribute porridge, why did she come here?" ”
Ziyi anxiously told Xiao Sizi all the things that Concubine Chen had cut all her clothes in the morning, and Xiao Sizi was shocked and said: "Girl in Ziyi, you wait, I will go to inform the emperor immediately." With that, he quickly ran into the temple.
Not long after, Xiao Sizi ran out and said, "Girl in purple, please come with me, the emperor wants to see you." ”
"Yes."
Ziyi walked behind Xiao Sizi, entered the temple, and walked to the back from the corridor outside, without disturbing the queen mother and concubines who were worshipping the Buddha in the main hall.
In the west wing room at the back, after Xiao Sizi led the purple clothes in, he said, "Your Majesty, the girl in purple is here." ”
Dongfang Yu said to Xiao Sizi with a serious expression: "Call Concubine Chen to see me." ”
"Yes."
After Dongfang Yu saw Xiao Sizi go out, he said, "What happened?" ”
After Ziyi saluted respectfully, he explained the morning's events in detail.
Dongfang Yu said angrily: "Concubine Chen is simply unsightly. "Dare to treat Shui Ling'er like this.
"Your Majesty, Shui Ling'er has no clothes to wear now, and the slave maid asked her to wrap her in a quilt to avoid catching a cold."
Dongfang Yu was silent, and after Xiao Sizi came in, he said: "Xiao Sizi, find a few embroidery girls to sew Shui Ling'er's clothes immediately, and burn Concubine Chen's clothes." ”
Xiao Sizi said respectfully: "Yes." ”
When Concubine Chen, who was following Xiao Sizi, heard this, she immediately knelt down, climbed in front of Dongfang Yu, and pleaded: "Your Majesty, did the concubine do something wrong, why do you treat the concubine like this?" ”
Dongfang Yu slapped her angrily and said, "You said that you did to Shui Ling'er before you came to worship the Buddha?" ”
Concubine Chen was beaten and fell to the side, she covered her beaten face, cried and knelt up, and said aggrievedly: "In the morning, Sister Shui Ling'er accidentally knocked down the dew collected by the concubine and made the concubine wet, and the concubine didn't blame Sister Shui Ling'er, so she changed her clothes to worship the Buddha, and the concubine didn't know what was wrong?" ”
Ziyi knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, it's not what Concubine Chen said, after her clothes got wet, she tore the clothes on Shui Ling'er's body, and even her belly pocket was torn by her, and she also ordered Xiaoxiang to cut all my and Shui Ling'er's clothes." ”
Xiao Xiang knelt on the ground and shouted, "Your Majesty, it was the girls in purple who wronged me, and I didn't cut their clothes." ”
Concubine Chen cried and said: "Your Majesty, maybe Sister Shui Ling'er didn't want to send porridge, so she made this decision, and the concubine had no choice but to admit it, if you want to punish the concubine, it's all the concubine's fault." ”
Ziyi didn't expect Concubine Chen to show softness first, as if Shui Ling'er and her would take revenge, she hurriedly kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, please be aware that what Ziyi said is true." ”
At this time, the eunuch at the door shouted, "The Queen Mother has arrived." ”
Dongfang Yu walked to the door to greet the Queen Mother and said, "Queen Mother, why are you here?" He helped the Queen Mother to sit down on the cushion in front of him.
After the Queen Mother sat down, she said flatly: "The emperor saluted the Buddha halfway, and he didn't come back after leaving, I was worried that something would happen." ”
Concubine Chen cried and crawled in front of the Queen Mother and said, "Queen Mother, you have to be the master of the concubine." ”
The Queen Mother looked at Concubine Chen crying pitifully, and there were five finger marks on her face, thinking that it was the emperor who beat her, she said pitifully: "Concubine Chen, look at your pitiful appearance, I feel distressed when I see it, you get up first, tell me, what happened?" ”
Concubine Chen was helped up by Xiao Xiang, and she told the Queen Mother all the things that Ziyi blamed her.
The Queen Mother said coldly: "Your Majesty, why did you blame Concubine Chen without knowing it?" It's just that the clothes are cut and there are no clothes to wear, and there are hundreds of people in the Yan Mansion, and it is not difficult to find a suitable maidservant dress for her to wear. ”
Dongfang Yu's face was gloomy, he glared at Concubine Chen, and said to the Queen Mother: "Queen Mother, I am Qi Concubine Chen's eyes, and if I want to investigate this matter, it will only embarrass her, but now that she insists on investigating it thoroughly, then I will find out the facts and punish her according to law!" After saying that, he put his hands down and left angrily.
Ziyi also got up and saluted briefly, and went out with him.
The Queen Mother sighed and said, "Concubine Chen, it's not that I don't help you, you see, for your sake, my relationship with the emperor's mother and son is stiff." I know that you are eating Shui Ling'er's vinegar, but Shui Ling'er is now the person on the tip of the emperor's heart, and you can't be wronged at all, so you can bear with it, and when the emperor is tired of her, it's not too late for you to do anything to her. ”
"But the Queen Mother, after returning to the imperial capital, the emperor will canonize her as the queen." She was unwilling and followed Dongfang Yu for many years, but in the end she couldn't get the position she wanted.
The Queen Mother became serious and said: "How can the queen be a casual woman who can sit on it, before I object, the civil and military officials will give advice first." ”
Concubine Chen thought that what the Queen Mother said was reasonable, showed a smile, and said, "What the Queen Mother said is true." ”
Half an hour later, in the Taiji Hall of Yanfu, in the room, Shui Ling'er was naked, sitting at the table, with one foot on the other thigh, eating with a small local cake roll in one hand, and drinking the fruit wine brewed by General Yan's wife with a cup in the other, very happy.
She heard the sound of fast footsteps outside, and ran back to the bed as quickly as possible, wrapped her body in a quilt, and cried until tears flowed down as Situ Jing said, but she squeezed her eyebrows and didn't have half a tear for a while, so she had to wipe her saliva on her face with her hand.
She heard the door open and began to choke and sob.
Before Dongfang Yu walked to the bedside, he heard her choking voice, and he blamed himself in his heart, because he didn't protect her well.
He walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, and saw that Shui Ling'er had cried until her face was flushed, her cheeks were moist, and she said to him full of grievances: "Brother Yu." ”
Dongfang Yu took her into his arms distressedly and said, "Shui Ling'er, don't be afraid, I'm back." ”
"Hmm." Shui Ling'er nodded understandingly, and accidentally hiccuped, and she said weakly: "Crying until hiccup." "She didn't dare to say that she was full of food and hiccups.
Dongfang Yu glanced at Shui Ling'er, then at the slightly messy table, chuckled, and said, "Shui Ling'er, you wait, I'll go get the clothes for you." ”
"Okay."
Dongfang Yu walked out of the room, Xiao Sizi walked over with the freshly sewn clothes in both hands, and said, "Your Majesty, the embroidery lady has driven out three clothes." ”
Dongfang Yu nodded lightly, and ordered Ziyi on the side to say, "Ziyi, take it in and give it to Shui Ling'er first." ”
Ziyi said respectfully: "Yes." After she took the clothes from Xiao Sizi's hand, she walked towards the room.
Dongfang Yu saw that after Ziyi walked into the room, his expression turned solemn, and he said to Xiao Sizi solemnly: "In the morning, there are people who have entered and exited the Taiji Palace, as well as all the servants in the Taiji Palace, all of them have been taken down and questioned, what happened to Concubine Chen and Shui Ling'er, there are people who have seen it, bring them to me, I will ask in person." ”
"Yes."
