Chapter 206: The Death of Zuo Meiren

Ice muscles hide jade bones, willow eyebrows accumulate cuidai, apricot eyes flash silver stars, face lined with peach petals, pile of golden phoenix silk, moon-like appearance and beauty, body like swallows and willows, sound like a warbler.

Fifteen years ago, there lived in Mingyue Palace, a tactful and feminine pretty woman, she was a left beauty.

The painting of her pale pink palace dress wraps the delicate and transparent figure, the waist is tied with tender silk, the splendid plum blossom purse is loose, and the fragrance is secretly transmitted, all over the body, the light gauze is many, and the waist is exquisite.

Silk silk, hairpin ring, pendant, cloud bun pile cui, ring sonorous, smiling spring peach, lips blooming cherry, pomegranate tooth fragrant.

Even such a beautiful woman with a beautiful face and moon appearance is a little mediocre in the harem of beautiful women.

As soon as you enter the Hou Gate, it is as deep as the sea, and how deep is the courtyard?

The flowers of the harem are peony, peony, begonia, hibiscus, rose, camellia, or purple and red, or fragrant and pleasant, or and the stalk is studied.

Those beauties are either flattering and affectionate, or playful and lovely, or lonely and self-appreciative, or gentle and lovely, or gentle and quiet.

Zuo Meiren obviously belongs to the gentle and quiet, lonely and self-appreciating school.

She was born in a famous family, her father was a general who made great achievements on the battlefield, and her brother Zuo Lengsong was also a general who was an official in the court.

Her parents were very strict with her family education, and invited a famous teacher to teach her piano, chess, calligraphy and painting when she was five years old.

Therefore, Zuo Meiren has developed a knowledgeable and reasonable character, pure heart and few desires, and has no quarrel with the world since she was a child.

Even after entering the palace, she still maintains her consistent temperament, low-key and introverted, and does not compete for favor and does not participate in the rights and wrongs of the harem.

Raising flowers and painting became the greatest consolation for her long lonely palace life.

In her words: "Every flower is alive, it's the same as people, how you treat it, how it will treat you." If you take good care of it, it will bloom and let you see the most beautiful posture, if you neglect it, it will wither and turn into dust. ”

Mingyue Palace is located in the palace is not inconspicuous side hall, as soon as you enter the door, the flowers in the garden are competing to open, fighting and gorgeous, like a paradise.

Very few people come here, and even the emperor can't come a few times a year. Such an ice cellar-like place, although it is not a cold palace, it is no different from a cold palace.

There are a lot of unfavored concubines in the palace, and there are many resentful women who feel sorry for themselves every day, but this Zuo beauty is not.

When the palace maid Ah Hua was first sent to Mingyue Palace, she thought that it would be a lifeless and lifeless place, but when she actually came, she found that it was not.

The master has no shelf, the subordinate is loyal and kind, and the subordinate is leisurely and harmonious.

Raising flowers, teasing birds, appreciating flowers, and admiring the moon, life in Mingyue Palace is very interesting!

In the spring, they would collect flowers by hand to make flower cakes, brew nectar and dance in the courtyard full of flowers.

In the summer, they would admire the moon, sew sachets, catch fireflies, tell eerie ghost stories, and then hug each other in fear.

In the fall, they collect the withered petals, hold a funeral ceremony, and have a flower painting meeting.

In winter, they will enjoy plum blossoms, and they will bury freshly brewed plum blossom brew and take it out to drink the next year.

When I first met Zuo Meiren, she was painting in front of a pot of golden chrysanthemums.

Ah Hua knelt down respectfully and said, "Slave Ah Hua asks for peace to the master." ”

Zuo Meiren put down the paintbrush in her hand and smiled softly: "Your name is Ah Hua?" This name is good, I won't hide from you that I like flowers, Lu Yao and they all say that I am a nymphomaniac. ”

The palace maid in green next to her smiled: "Master, you are a nymphomaniac, Lu Yao is not wrong." ”

Ah Hua was taken aback, how could this maid be so bold and dare to talk to her master like this?

Zuo Meiren Yingying smiled lightly: "Okay, my chrysanthemum is painted, move this pot of chrysanthemums down." ”

"Yes."

Zuo Meiren looked at Ah Hua gently and said, "When I come to Mingyue Palace in the future, we are all a family, so we don't have to see outside." There are no rules here, just sit down and do your part. ”

"Yes, the slave has written it down."

Day after day, year after year, Ah Hua slowly liked the life of Mingyue Palace, and was also convinced by Zuo Meiren's kind, open-minded, and optimistic personality, and became her closest personal maid.

Sometimes she almost forgot her motives and purpose for being sent to Mingyue Palace.

The so-called close to Zhu is red, close to ink is black.

Originally, she stayed by Concubine Ying's side, and several other maidservants, who were seen by Concubine Ying as eyeliner who worked for others.

Ah Xiang by Concubine Li's side, Ah Li by Concubine Xiao's side, Ah Yan by Lin Guiren's side, Ah Lin by Yu Jieyu's side, and her by Zuo Meiren's side, etc.

Zuo Meiren was originally an unfavored concubine, and the people in the Internal Affairs Office didn't even look at it when they passed by. If it weren't for General Zuo's words in the court, the dog thieves in the Internal Affairs Office would have treated Zuo Meiren harshly.

As the so-called success is also Xiao He, Xiao He is also defeated, Mingyue Palace's original peaceful life was completely broken because of General Zuo's rebellion.

The cause of this incident should start from the fact that Li Dudu, the squire of the military department, found that Liu Santong had deducted military salaries.

Liu Santong, the official and military department secretary, attached to Ding Dong and his party, is greedy, forgetful of righteousness, and a villain who blows both ends of the wind.

After the upright Li Dudu discovered that Liu Santong was abusing his power for personal gain and deducting military salaries and food without authorization, he secretly told his close friend General Zuo about the matter.

General Zuo has always disagreed with Ding Dongzheng, and he has long been unaccustomed to his ugly appearance of forming gangs and acting as a prestige. Especially in the case of Concubine Li, You Zhengqing, who had a close relationship with General Zuo, was implicated for no reason and ended up beheaded.

It happened that Li Dudu seized Liu Santong's handle, and General Zuo also privately found out that Ding Dong was also involved in the deduction of military salaries, so General Zuo, together with Li Dudu, Yang Bachelor and others, jointly played Liu Santong, the secretary of the military department, and Ding Dong, the prime minister of Zuo, for abusing power for personal gain.

Before the joint performance, Liu Santong and Ding Dong filed a complaint first, and participated in a book in front of the emperor saying that General Zuo and Li Dudu were guilty and deliberately plotted rebellion.

A forged secret letter was presented, and the emperor was furious when he saw it. Then someone testified that General Zuo secretly asked him to discuss and rebel. Then he searched for a large number of secretly selfishly made weapons in the homes of Li Dudu and General Zuo.

And so on and so forth, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so

Concubine Ying saw this opportunity and took the opportunity to design to get rid of Zuo Meiren in order to please the emperor.

Since ancient times, the wealth and dignity of the harem have been linked to the honor and disgrace of the court family, since the high-ranking generals have been beheaded, so what does it matter if you die of a beauty who was originally not favored.

In the matter of the harem, the people who really hold the power have always turned a blind eye.

He only needed to give a hint, and the sideburns under his command who were in a hurry to fight for pets were collectively dispatched.

Bloodthirsty, skin-picking, meat-eating, and bone chewing have always been bloody and ruthless.

Concubine Ying is such a smart person, ruthless and clean, so although the emperor doesn't like her, he still named her a concubine.

That day coincided with the winter solstice, and the harem concubines gathered together to make dumplings for the festival.

It was originally a joyful and lively atmosphere, but it was ruined by a broken bowl of soup.

"Ah......h

His eyes fell on Concubine Ying, who was shouting, and saw that she was holding a blackened silver needle in her right hand, looking at the bowl of dumplings that fell to the ground in horror.

The dignified queen spoke: "What's the matter? What's wrong with you, Concubine Ying? ”

Concubine Ying hurriedly knelt down and cried: "The queen is about to poison the concubine, you see that the silver needle in my hand is black, which means that someone poisoned the bowl of dumplings I ate just now." ”

Everyone was stunned, and their faces showed expressions of disbelief.

As the lord of the six palaces, Queen Strangled angrily: "Investigate thoroughly, order someone to give me a thorough investigation, is there any palace in my eyes?" On weekdays, when you fight in private, I turn a blind eye. But today is a holiday, and when it comes to life, this palace will not tolerate it. Dare to poison people under the nose of this palace, is it dead? How many heads can be chopped off? ”

"The Queen's Wrath!" The bottom was full of kneeling people, all of them frightened the six gods.

The queen spoke: "Check for me, everyone present is suspicious, start with the maids and maids, and search for me." ”

After an hour of incense, Ah Hua in Zuo Meiren's palace was pulled out.

"Kneel, jiàn rén, who are you instructed to speak quickly!"

Ah Hua lowered her head and was silent.

"Do you want to send it to the Zongren Mansion to suffer? Don't say it yet! ”

Ah Hua stared at Zuo Meiren in embarrassment, hesitated, and did not dare to speak.

At this time, Zuo Meiren stood up, only to see her awe-inspiring temperament, standing straight, and her red lips said: "This poison is from me, and it has nothing to do with her." ”

Zuo Meiren's actions shocked everyone present.

A concubine pleaded for her: "Queen, judging from the fact that Zuo Meiren is a good woman, someone must have framed her, and I ask the queen to investigate." ”

Ah Hua didn't expect Zuo Meiren to stand up for her as a cheap maid, and her heart kept jumping.

The queen raised her eyebrows and asked, "What the hell is going on?" ”

Zuo Meiren smiled bitterly and said: "Empress, imagine how dare a palace maid do such a thing without the master's order?" The poison in Concubine Ying's bowl was placed by me. ”

"Why poison? Tell me about it. ”

Zuo Meiren said: "No reason, I hate Concubine Ying." ”

The queen raised her voice and asked, "Do you know what you're talking about now?" ”

"Send me to the Zongren Mansion, and I will explain everything truthfully."

Ah Hua suddenly repented and pleaded: "Don't, the queen is like this........."

Concubine Ying shouted: "Don't take this down with you!" ”

Inside the prison

Ah Hua blamed herself and knelt in front of Zuo Meiren and cried: "Master, I hurt you, in fact, I was sent by Concubine Ying to install your eyes next to you to monitor you, the poison was ordered by Concubine Ying, and she was bent on putting you to death." ”

Zuo Meiren smiled bitterly: "It doesn't matter, anyway, I'll be a dead word sooner or later." Since my brother was in prison, I knew that my time with him was running out, and many people were waiting to catch me, and I couldn't escape. In fact, the person who really wants me to die is the queen, Concubine Ying is just doing things for the queen, and I have already seen through some things. ”

Ah Hua blamed herself and cried: "It's the slave who is not good, I'm sorry for you, I deserve to die!" ”

"Okay, stop beating yourself, it's all fate. Since I can't escape death, why don't I confess my guilt? Ah Hua, although I already knew that you were Concubine Ying's person, but after being around for so long, I have long regarded you as a close person. I will admit to the crime of poisoning, you must refuse to admit it and save your life, you know? ”

Ah Hua couldn't cry silently, regretting not being at the beginning......
