Chapter 113: Teeth and Claws

Yixuan adjusted her sitting posture, coughed twice, and said, "It's still Mama who understands things." This palace called you today, in fact, there is something to inquire. ”

"Princess, please speak."

"The palace is the wife of the prince, but the person in charge of the house is Concubine Hu. Before, this palace felt that as long as it could take care of the palace, it didn't matter who was in charge. But these days in this palace, I have found that Concubine Hu is pretending to be public and private, doing many unrighteous things behind her back, and taking people's lives at every turn, which is really hateful. Therefore, this palace has the heart to take care of family affairs, what does Mama think? ”

Mama Lai lowered her head and was silent for a moment, and asked, "The princess has this heart, why didn't she tell the princess, but asked the slave maid first?" ”

Yi Xuan said with a smile: "If this palace mentions it to the prince, it is impossible for the prince not to agree." But the palace is worried that if he can't do it, the palace will be in chaos, and it will be troublesome. ”

Mama Lai's eyes softened a little, and she secretly thought: The princess is not a spoiled person, otherwise, according to the degree of favor of the prince, even if she wants the prince of the world to beat her down.

Luckily.

"Since the princess asked, the slave and maid will speak boldly." Mama Lai's eyes were determined, "Concubine Hu's power in the mansion was not formed overnight. Even if the princess has the support of the prince and nominally takes back the governing power, the people in this palace are not convinced, and it is not easy to do things. Moreover, Concubine Hu has a lot to do with the interests of the people below, and the princess's move has taken the interests of countless people, and they are bound to oppose you. ”

"Then according to Mama's opinion, what should this palace do?" Yixuan humbly asks for advice.

Lai Mama said: "If you can't do it from the top down, then you can go from the bottom up." Over the years, Concubine Hu has embezzled no less than tens of thousands of dollars in the house, and if the princess can find evidence, she can eradicate all of Concubine Hu's cronies. At that time, if you arrange your own people to take their place, the people below will naturally have nothing to say. ”

Yi Xuan was shocked: "What does Concubine Hu want so many silver taels for?" ”

Mama Lai raised her eyelids and said lightly: "No one thinks that there is less silver." ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

That's the reason. Maybe because Yixuan has not lacked silver since she was a child, so her desire for money is not so strong.

"Thank you Mama for mentioning it, this palace understands." Yi Xuan smiled and nodded.

Mama Lai got up and saluted and retreated, walked a few steps and stopped, turned around and said, "If the princess has a place to get slaves and maids, just mention it." Slaves and maids have not yet reached the point where they are useless. ”

Yi Xuan was stunned, thinking that no one would dare to say that you are old and useless.

"Okay, then the palace won't be polite to Mama." Yi Xuan's smiling demeanor is all directions.

"The slave and maid are gone."

As soon as Mama Lai left, Xiangyun entered the house with her back foot, and said hurriedly: "Sister Shuang'er invites the princess to go to the back courtyard." It is said that someone from Zhilan Courtyard is coming, and it is necessary to seal off the rear miscellaneous courtyard and find out the cause of death of the mother and son of the Zhuang family. ”

Find out the cause of death? The thief shouted loudly to catch the thief.

Yixuan's heart was stunned, and she hurriedly put on her shoes and got off the kang, and instructed Xiangyun: "You stay and guard Cuiwei Courtyard, the door is closed tightly for me, no one is allowed to go out, no one is allowed to come in." Then, find out who has gone out from the death of the banker's mother and son to the present? Find these people, and you can do the rest yourself. ”

Xiangyun looked at Shang Yixuan, knowing that this was a great opportunity for the princess to reuse her, as long as she could do a good job, she might be able to sit on an equal footing with Shuang'er in the future, she nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, the princess, the slave will never let others have the opportunity to frame you." ”

Yi Xuan looked at her and smiled slightly: "This palace believes in you." ”

She walked out of Cuiwei Courtyard, sat on the chariot and went straight to the back courtyard.

The place where the mother and son of the dealer died violently was the firewood room in the back yard, and it was crowded and lively at this time. The whole courtyard was surrounded by guards, and the maids were driven into the house like ducks to be interrogated. Shuang'er was standing at the door of the firewood room, arguing with Hu Qingyun.

"The slave did arrive here early. It's just because the princess is worried that someone will do something to the mother and son of the Zhuang family, so she specially ordered someone to watch it. So as soon as the mother and son of the dealer had an accident, the princess received the news and ordered the slave to verify the matter. The slave maid was just checking the corpse, but the side concubine said that the slave maid was poisoned, which was too arbitrary. ”

Shuang'er was emotional, and barely restrained himself so that he didn't burst into foul language.

The poison was ordered by Hu Qingyun, and it stands to reason that Hu Qingyun should be the first to arrive, but this guy came later than her, and poured a basin of dirty water on her head, can she not be angry?

Hu Qingyunyun said lightly: "I don't think it will be a double girl." You are the princess's closest maid, if you come to poison, the princess will not be able to escape this crime. But...... You just said that the princess ordered someone to watch the firewood room, and if that person waits for an opportunity to poison it, it is not impossible. ”

Hu Qingyun's words are hinting that the princess is poisoned, even if it is not Shuang'er's hand, the princess can't get out of it.

Yi Xuan gave her a big white eye.

is so thick-skinned and shameless like Hu Qingyun, it's the first time she's seen it.

Yixuan walked up to Hu Qingyun and asked with a chill: "Concubine Hu thinks it was done by this palace?" ”

Hu Qingyun looked at her, for a while, and smiled slightly: "The concubine doesn't dare." It's just that the mother and son of the dealer died strangely, and the concubine inevitably speculated. ”

"This palace thinks that the mother and son of the dealer were killed by you."

Hu Qingyun was dumbfounded, his face was indescribable, his hands under his sleeves slowly curled up, and there was silence around him, and no one dared to speak.

"Princess...... Is there any evidence? ”

Yixuan spread it out and smiled, "Not for the time being." But didn't Concubine Hu also suspect the palace without any evidence? This palace is just a matter of learning. ”

Hu Qingyun's face softened slightly, and he squinted his eyes and said, "Of course the concubine will say so if she has credentials." The mother and son of the Zhuang family died, and the princess's instructions to Zhuang Liu naturally could not be verified, which was beneficial to the princess. ”

Yi Xuan sneered, "Isn't there no way to verify the innocence of this palace?" Bengong is reluctant to let them die, and as soon as they die, some people will say that Bengong killed them. Under the melon field and plums, doesn't the palace know how to avoid suspicion? ”

The maids below were dizzy. In the mansion, Concubine Li and Zhuang Liu's affair was suppressed, they didn't know that there was such a thing, so naturally they didn't know what the princess and Concubine Li were fighting.

Hu Qingyun smiled, his eyes flickered, "Forgive the concubine for taking the liberty and ask the princess a word: Who is the maid sent by the princess to monitor the firewood room, why didn't she see how the mother and son of the Zhuang family died?" ”

"It's vanilla. When she went to drink tea, someone took advantage of the situation and poisoned the mother and son of the dealer. ”

Hu Qingyun's expression sneered: "Isn't this ridiculous? has been guarding, but the empty person who drank tea died, if it was not dried by vanilla, it was really unconvincing. ”

Yi Xuan looked at her coldly, Hu Qingyun should be the first time to show her teeth and claws in front of her, which is really very different from her usual.

During the confrontation between the two, Cao Jun rushed over with Yi Zuo and said to Yi Xuan: "Princess, let Yi do an autopsy first." ”

Yixuan nodded, took a few steps out of the way, and let the man enter.

Since it was Cao Jun's request, there should be no problem.

Cao Jun also followed him to go in, Yixuan stopped him, Cao Jun turned his head, smiled and asked, "Is there something wrong with the princess?" ”

Yi Xuan walked a few steps to the side, making sure that Hu Qingyun couldn't hear her, so she asked quietly, "Doesn't the prince know about this?" He didn't come? ”

Cao Jun's expression changed slightly, he looked at her hesitantly, and said, "The prince may not have the heart to care about this matter for the time being." After a pause, he couldn't help but remind: "Concubine Hu is menacing, you have to cheer up and deal with it." This time, the prince may not help you. ”

Yixuan was taken aback, "What's wrong with the prince?" ”

Cao Jun shook his head without saying a word, turned around and entered the house.

Yixuan stood in place.

Just now she felt strange, sure enough.

In the past, no matter what, Zhao Zhen couldn't leave her alone. Even if she had a cold war with Zhao Zhen that time, Zhao Zhen left for the northwest without waiting for her, but in the end, Zhao Zhen still went to Wen's house to pick her up.

What did Hu Qingyun say?

Yi Xuan had a bad premonition in her heart, and couldn't help but glance at Hu Qingyun.

Hu Qingyun smiled lightly, with an expression of finishing.

Yixuan clenched her fists with both hands, and resisted the urge to go up and slap this twice.

Don't...... Does Hu Qingyun know her true identity? Hu Qingyun knew that she was Wen Zhiluo, and told Zhao Zhen? So Zhao Zhen was very disappointed in her, avoided her, and didn't want to care about her life or death?

The more Yi Xuan thought about it, the more she felt like this. I only can't figure it out, how did Hu Qingyun know her identity?

She decided to test Hu Qingyun.

Yixuan moved to Hu Qingyun's side, and slowly opened her lips and said: "This palace is the niece of Empress Jiarou, and this marriage is also a gift from the emperor, if you think that this means can pull this palace down, it is too naΓ―ve." ”

Hu Qingyun looked at the sky and said: "There are too many things in this world, climbing high and falling heavy, the princess should not step on the air." ”

Yi Xuan sneered, "In terms of appearance and intelligence, I don't lose to my aunt, my aunt didn't take you in her eyes, and I won't." ”

Hu Qingyun's eyes moved slightly, revealing a little disgust, but it disappeared in an instant, and he stared at Yi Xuan with a smile and said: "If Empress Jiarou was really that powerful, she would not have died in the hands of the prince early." Besides, Princess, you are not as good as Empress Jiarou. ”

Yixuan took a deep breath.

This Hu Qingyun is really bad and outrageous.

What happened when she died early? Nineteen years after her death, she supported Zhao Yan to ascend the throne and became a powerful minister above 10,000 people under one person. It's better than Hu Qingyun being in the back house.

But listening to the meaning of her words, she doesn't seem to know that she is the Wen Zhiluo who "died early".

Yixuan accepted it when she saw it, but she still couldn't help choking her: "Even the prince, I don't dare to slander my aunt like this." When will it be your turn to judge, a narrow-minded woman? ”

Narrow-sighted?

As soon as Hu Qingyun was about to have a seizure, he found that Yixuan had already left, leaving her with only a back. Hu Qingyun stared for a long time, took the tea handed by the maid and suppressed the fire in his heart.

Shuang'er also handed tea to the master.

Yi Xuan took a sip leisurely, Xiao thought about Hu Qingyun's sullen appearance, and felt very happy.

As long as Hu Qingyun doesn't know her identity, everything will be easy.
