Chapter 139: Borrowing a knife to kill
Wanyun endured the grievances and returned to the dormitory, the tears could no longer be stopped, and she fell down without saying a word, Wanying lay next to her, gently stopping her, trying to soothe her frightened.
Seeing this, Mo'er retreated without saying a word, and Wanyun stopped crying for a long time, and Wanying asked tentatively: "Sister, why is my sister involved in today's matter." ”
Wan Yun looked at Wan Ying, her eyes were full of terror and fright, Wan Ying understood that Fang Cai's matter was indeed a great blow to her.
She straightened her breath and said, "Do you believe what I say?" ”
Wanying didn't think about it, nodded and said, "This is natural." ”
"That overlord farewell concubine, it was the queen mother who asked me to tell Tong Zhaoyi." Wanyun was full of horror and grievances when she said it.
Queen Mother! Wanying heard it on the corridor outside the main hall just now, it was the queen mother who reprimanded Tong Zhaoyi.
The queen asked her sister to give Tong Zhaoyi an idea, and humiliated Tong Zhaoyi in front of the royal relatives. Tong Zhaoyi naturally counted this account on Wanyun's head. The queen mother is really clever, this trick is really good at killing people with a knife, how could Wanyun understand that there is a sword and sword shadow hidden in a simple dish.
"Then why didn't you tell her?" Wanying saw that Wanyun would only wipe her tears behind her back, so she had some resentment towards Tong Zhaoyi, who bullied Wanyun, and because of some resentment, she no longer called her Zhaoyi Niangniang.
"Tong Zhaoyi said that it was the queen mother who reprimanded her with this dish in front of the royal family."
Sure enough, she is worthy of being the queen's mother, even if Tong Zhaoyi makes a fuss, Wanyun comes forward to testify, when the time comes, she will deny it, and then treat Wanyun for the crime of indiscriminate climbing and biting, and then kill two birds with one stone, not only humiliating Tong Zhaoyi, but also rectifying Wanyun. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, the women in the palace are not idle.
While her back was cold, she couldn't help but rejoice, fortunately, Wanyun didn't say it in front of Tong Zhaoyi, otherwise it wouldn't be as simple as being humiliated.
After the last Qiu Li incident, Prince Rong also talked to Wanying about Tong Zhaoyi: Back then, the Queen Mother and the Emperor both liked Tong Zhaoyi as the queen candidate, but the people of the queen's mother's family kept crying in front of the Queen Mother, which meant nothing more than that once the mountain collapsed, no one would take care of them anymore. The queen mother also had to set up her niece as the queen, and Tong Zhaoyi became a concubine, that is, Tong Guifei.
Because of the battle for the queen's throne, the current queen and Concubine Tong have planted mustard in their hearts before entering the palace, and after entering the palace, the queen feels that her position as queen is given up by Concubine Tong, so when she saw Concubine Tong like a red-eyed lion, she swore not to give up if she didn't tear Concubine Tong. And Concubine Tong had already heard the rumors and knew that it was the queen mother's niece who robbed her of the queen's position, so she was also tense when she saw the queen. The queen has the support of the queen mother, and Concubine Tong has the support of the emperor, and the two are evenly matched, and no one will let anyone. Since entering the palace, the two have been fighting non-stop, and they have never stopped.
At the beginning, Concubine Tong was beautiful and spoiled, with abundant rain and dew, very arrogant, repeatedly offended the queen, and was in an advantageous position. The reason why there is today's disadvantage is because of the malicious slander of the queen behind her back and the vain discussion of the queen mother, and was ordered by the emperor to think about it behind closed doors. As a result, not only did she not think about it, but she used wine to drown her sorrows and drank heavily in the palace all day, who knew that she had an accidental miscarriage, and then she bit and said that the queen was going to murder her and her children. It was a matter of human life, and the Queen Mother came forward to find out the truth of the matter: the palace maid confirmed that Concubine Tong herself didn't even know that she was pregnant when she had a miscarriage. The so-called queen plotting to kill is also false.
The Queen Mother was still very satisfied with Concubine Tong at first, because she was partial to her niece and daughter, so she still felt sorry for Concubine Tong in her heart, and every time the queen came to cry, the Queen Mother Ye persuaded the queen mother to take out the bearing of the middle palace and not worry about the concubines. But later, Concubine Tong was pampered and arrogant, and when she offended the queen, she also frequently slandered the queen mother, which made the queen mother tired. The miscarriage, the queen mother was furious, this is the emperor's first child, Tong Guifei was injured by rotten wine, injured the emperor's heir, and in anger, she took away the position of the concubine and retained the title, which will be Zhaoyi.
After the emperor experienced this, his attitude towards Tong Zhaoyi gradually faded. Tong Zhaoyi fell out of favor, the Queen Mother ordered a general election, originally Tong Zhaoyi was still waiting for the emperor to compensate herself, but in the end, what she was waiting for was Lu Guifei, and Chun Jieyu continued to promote the edict.
After Wanying sorted out the cause and effect, Wanyun stopped crying.
"What the hell did the Queen Mother tell you?" Wanying asked.
"Yesterday morning, I went to greet the queen, and she left me to say, 'The queen mother has been talking a lot lately, saying that the cooks in the palace are becoming more and more perfunctory. The queen also said that the food in the Spring Festival Palace has always been the best in the palace, but the fly in the ointment is that she and Tong Zhaoyi are a little disagreeable. ”
"Farewell concubine, what did the queen mother say to you?"
"The Empress Mother said that this is a dish in the family banquet of her and the Queen Mother's family, and it is necessary to make it every Chinese New Year's Eve. Every festive season, if the Queen Mother can see this dish at the family banquet in the palace, she will be happy. ”
Wan Ying sighed wordlessly, only listening to Wan Yun continue. I almost cried tears in my heart.
Wan Yun suddenly patted the back of Wan Ying's hand gently, shook her head, signaled that Wan Ying did not need to be sad, and then said: "The queen also said that if you directly tell Tong Zhaoyi that it is the queen's meaning, first, the two will not get along, I am afraid that Tong Zhaoyi will refuse, and secondly, I will lose a chance to curry favor in front of Tong Zhaoyi." ”
Wan Ying didn't understand Wan Yun's words, but the more she listened, the more annoyed she became, she was really about to explode, and said, "Then you didn't mention the queen in front of Tong Zhaoyi, even just now."
Wanyun nodded, she also knew that she had become the queen's pawn, but what could she do, without evidence, framing the middle palace with red flesh and white teeth, and the crime could lead to death. So there was not only grievance in her eyes, but also horror, and she was afraid. There was also a trace of imperceptible poison, she sneered, and finally let herself wait for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Wan Ying looked at the unfamiliar expression on Wan Yun's face, and suddenly thought of something that was not very important and felt strange, so she asked, "What's the matter with you wearing red?" I remember that you didn't like red the most, and when I gave you a ruby ring, you said that the only red and green in the world was cheesy and tight. ”
Wanyun sneered and said: "Yes, I used to laugh at you for not naming the maid, the word 'hibiscus' is good, but it is matched with red and green, which is cheesy." Who knew that I was almost killed by the red letter now. ”
Wanying was teased, a little speechless, and listened to her quietly without saying a word. She seemed to be thinking hard about the connection of everything.
"I remember that the day after entering the palace, Lord Huizhen came to me, saying that he had no sisters since he was a child, and he felt cordial when he saw me, so he was willing to marry Jin Lan, and brought a refined red palace costume to give me a meeting gift. At that time, I just thought that the county lord of Huizhen probably didn't like Hua Concubine, and at the same time, only my family background and position could speak in the palace, so I didn't think so much, and the county lord of Huizhen also said that our emperor liked his concubines to wear red clothes the most, and said that Tong Zhaoyi was given the title "Tong" because of this. ”
The ancients often said: "If you have nothing to do, you will be a thief." "This statement is absolutely true, the mother of the county lord of Huizhen is the eldest princess of Anyang, and her father is the champion and first of the first emperor dynasty.
Wanying didn't think about it, and blurted out directly: "Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief." ”
When Wanyun heard this, she burst into tears and laughed, and said, "Guess what will happen later?" ”
"Let you offend Tong Zhaoyi, she will slip away by herself."
Wanyun nodded with a strange face, and said: "I offended Tong Zhaoyi, and I also have to favor the emperor, once I ran to Xie Huizhen, and Huizhen said, 'You are favored, if we are too close, I don't have to let others laugh at me, saying that I stain your light and rub your oil.'" ’”
"And then?"
"What else later, calculated me and slipped away by himself. Since they have all said it, they don't occupy my light, and if Tong Zhaoyi comes to me to settle accounts one day, she doesn't have to come forward to help me. Or, if I am desperate and she comes to the rescue, can I still obey her when the time comes? ”
Sure enough, after putting Wanyun in danger, she withdrew herself and offended Tong Zhaoyi, and when Wanyun was cleaned up by Tong Zhaoyi and had no way out, she rescued her, so that Wanyun recognized the sister of the county lord Huizhen with all her heart. Even if Tong Zhaoyi can't bear it, at least she won't win over Wanyun anymore. She herself has one less enemy in the palace. is another child who kills two birds with one stone, and is really a child from the eldest princess*, whose mind is not inferior to his mother.
"Sister, you and I are at home, my father taught us to be kind to others since childhood, not to fight with others, even if it is reasonable, let us give three points. But people don't hurt the tiger, the tiger is harmful to people's hearts, especially in this deep palace, everywhere swords and swords, killing machines, accidentally become other people's chess pieces, and then accidentally become someone else's board of fish and meat. My sister is kind by nature, and she must be more careful in the future, and she must be thoughtful and look forward to every step she takes and every word she says. ”
Wan Yun understood the words in Wan Ying's words, nodded and said, "I understand your words, but do you know the difficulty of these four words?" ”
"Involuntarily?"
"When I beat my father, I praised you for your intelligence, saying that I am a wood, because my father likes Aunt Lin, so he loves the house and Wu, but my sister may not be a real fool. Whether it is the lord of Huizhen, the queen, or Tong Zhaoyi, what they think in their hearts, I may not be able to see clearly, and I may not be able to see clearly. It's just that sometimes it's hard to ride a tiger, or it's just a plan. As soon as the county lord Huizhen came that day, I could see that she was not sincere, among the few people who newly entered the palace, only the three of us were three-legged, whether it was her joining Hua Concubine to deal with me, or uniting me to deal with Hua Concubine, it was a matter of time, since the opportunity came to the door by herself, why did you turn it away? Do you want to push her to Concubine Hua to deal with me together in the future? ”
Wanyun spoke softly, still in the same soft and soft tone as she had at home in the past, but Wanying felt that Wanyun in front of her was obviously her sister, not her sister who had known her for sixteen years.
