75 Prohibition of soap
Sure enough, it was discovered, even if it was so, she would never admit this crime, she knew that if she did, she would really not be able to live, she didn't understand why the emperor would do this for a woman with no identity, but she was just a lowly palace maid.
"The concubine doesn't know."
"I really don't know?"
"Your Majesty, if the concubine knew that she would definitely prevent such a thing from happening, if the concubine knew about this kind of inhumane and unreasonable thing and didn't stop it, would she still be human? Please ask the emperor to believe in the concubine, what the concubine said is the truth, there is no deception, please the emperor to be clear. "That's really sincere! I don't know if I was frightened or wronged, I lowered my head slightly, my eyes were slightly red, and my eyelashes were full of tears after a few flashes, and I looked pitiful.
Even so, the emperor's face was not moved at all, and he reached out and pinched her chin and lifted it gently, forcing her to look at herself, "Really? ”
Qingzhu took a few steps forward, knocked deeply, and his forehead was about to touch the emperor's boots, "Your Majesty, I really don't care about Niangniang's business, Niangniang doesn't know, it's the slave who doesn't like those three people, and has some enmity with them, so she thinks about killing and marrying people, so that she can get away with it." ”
The emperor glanced at her out of the corner of his eyes, and this time Mo'er on the side couldn't hold it back, his eyes sank, and he asked in an unkind tone: "Why did you choose me?" I have no grudge against you, so why harm me? ”
“······ Because of the soap, the slave thought that this soap was a rare item, and no one would find out if it was poisoned there, and the slave and maid just wanted to find someone to blame. ”
"Is you the one who burned paper money in the Ning Xiang Hall that night?"
Qingzhu didn't reply, her head was lowered, Mo'er couldn't see her expression, hearing this question, her body still betrayed her, trembling slightly, everyone already had the answer in their hearts.
"For what reason do you pay homage to the dead in the middle of the night, is it guilt or a ghost in your heart? Personal vendettas? Mo'er snorted coldly, and looked in the direction of Yushi. Previously, Lord Yushi had investigated for so long, and he had not found out that the three deceased had a grudge against anyone, let alone the same person. ”
"The ministers have inquired in many ways, and they have not heard that the three deceased are related to Aunt Qingzhu." The imperial history definitely said that the reason for Qingzhu's personal enmity was denied.
"It's not surprising that no one knows about the slaves and maids having a grudge against them, not to mention, how complicated the people are in the palace, are you sure that Lord Yushi has asked all of them?"
What a sharp tooth.
The emperor ignored her defense, his eyes were always on Concubine Nian, and Concubine Nian's biting lips opened, "The concubine doesn't know anything." ”
"Do you know how I deal with the bullies?" Concubine Nian looked at the person in front of her with a little distraction, even if before, no matter how indifferent he was to her, he would not have murderous intent in his eyes, she really wanted to ask him, why would he do this for a palace maid, if it was really what she instructed, would he execute himself for the lowly palace maid.
She had obviously forgotten that if it weren't for Mo'er's deep favor, she wouldn't have gotten to this point, and her clenched lips almost loosened.
"Mother." Qingzhu turned her body to her, looking at Concubine Nian with tears in her eyes, and what appeared in her mind were the memories of accompanying Concubine Nian over the years, the young lady who had never married into the palace, in the gate, the lady told her to take good care of the young lady, watching the young lady stay alone in the deep palace day and night, and fight openly and secretly with the concubines in the palace.
"Thank you for taking care of me for many years." Qingzhu smiled sadly, his eyes were full of despair, he took out the silver hairpin from his hair bun and stabbed it into his heart, the pain spread to his limbs like venom, and the blood spread out from the silver hairpin, and his chest was bright red in an instant.
Everything came so suddenly, it was too late for everyone to react.
Concubine Nian rushed over and hugged the person lying on the ground, held her hand and cried, "Why are you so stupid, who will accompany me to spend the long night when you leave, and who will confide in me in the sixth courtyard of this deep palace." ”
"Miss...... Good...... Take care of yourself and ...... in the next life The slave and the maid are ...... Want to take care of ...... You. She didn't call her Niangniang, but like she didn't enter the palace before, in her heart, she would always be her young lady, and she really wanted to go back to the past.
Looking at the person in front of her, this is the young lady she grew up with, she can only protect the young lady like this, think about it, she has not seen the young lady's heartfelt smiling face for a long time, it seems to be covered by the high walls of this deep palace.
"Miss······ Don't be sad, slave······ It's been a long time since I've seen Miss's smiling face. ”
"Then I'll laugh at you, you look at me, look at me, don't sleep." She tried to tear the corners of her mouth open, revealing an expression that was more ugly than crying.
"Miss······ You're going to have to protect yourselves in the future, slave ······." The strength in his hand gradually lost, the brilliance in his eyes began to dim, and he completely turned into dead ashes, and he raised his other hand with difficulty to try to wipe the tears of the young lady, but halfway up, his hand fell weakly on the cold ground.
Respiratory arrest.
The young concubine was heartbroken, crying bitterly, and the cry resounded throughout the entire Heart Cultivation Palace.
Qingzhu's murder and blame for Mo'er spread throughout the harem at once, and the soap made was also strictly suspended by the emperor, not because of this incident, he had already tried to stop Mo'er from selling soap, he didn't want her to repay the money quickly, but he always couldn't think of a good idea, and now he finally has an excuse.
The matter finally came to an end, and the young concubine left the Heart Cultivation Hall in despair.
That night, Yushi went out of the palace, and the emperor accompanied Mo'er back to Jinmoju, standing outside the gate, Mo'er turned around and said lightly: "It's okay, the emperor should go back to sleep quickly, the day is about to dawn, and you have to go to court early in the morning." ”
"Mo'er."
She was about to enter the door when he stopped her from behind.
"What's wrong?" Mo'er didn't look back, looking down at the tip of her shoe.
He opened his mouth, and suddenly he didn't know what to say, and his thoughts changed, "It's okay, you should rest earlier." ”
Mo'er didn't answer, just nodded and stepped into the courtyard, watching her open the door and knowing that the figure was projected on the door and window.
Since Mo'er was imprisoned in the prison, Caiyun was worried day and night, and even slept badly, so he walked out of the room when he heard the sound of the door opening, and when he saw Mo'er coming back, he was incoherent and happy, but Mo'er's mood was not affected by this, he felt that the whole person was heavy, and he was depressed and uncomfortable, and responded to Caiyun with a tired face, while returning to the room alone, Caiyun only thought that she couldn't rest well in the prison, "Miss, rest well." ”
Lying on the bed, looking at the top of the bed with complicated eyes, the door has been gently closed by Caiyun, and the room is quiet and only seems to be the sound of his own breathing.
Mo'er knew very well in her heart that Qingzhu was just protecting her master and wanted to use suicide to keep it a secret, not to mention that she was a smart person, but there was no evidence.
