Chapter 205: A Powerful Woman
Gongren Wangfu Ying Concubine Bedroom
The door of the dormitory, where he couldn't see his fingers, was suddenly opened.
Concubine Ying, who was on the sickbed, opened her eyes, only to see a female ghost with a cloak floating over, stretching out her hands and rushing towards her.
The face was as white as paper, two resentful eyes stared at her in horror, and the voice of the debt collector asking for his life echoed in the empty room.
"I died so miserably...... Give my child back...... Give my child ......"
Concubine Ying, who was so sick that she covered the quilt and shouted, "Someone's coming...... Someone's coming......"
Concubine Ying, who was hiding under the quilt, shouted for a long time and didn't call out half a figure, the terrifying voice was still approaching, and Concubine Ying was so frightened that her whole body trembled.
"Are you a human or a ghost?" Concubine Ying asked in fear.
The female ghost in front of the bed suddenly laughed and said, "Why don't you even know old acquaintances?" I'm Concubine Li, the one who was framed by you for adultery and finally went to the cold palace, and even the white silk before I died was ordered by you to take it for me. ”
Concubine Ying was so frightened that the souls of the six gods and no masters were scattered, and she shouted tremblingly: "Impossible, impossible...... Don't you come here...... Ah......h
The female ghost suddenly laughed and said: "Yingerhua, you are so ruthless, Wei Xiongfeng and I are friends who grew up together with your childhood sweethearts, and later I entered the palace with you and became the emperor's concubine." I always thought I was your best friend, defending you everywhere, and when I was favored and named a nobleman, I deliberately asked the emperor to call you a beauty, and when I was a concubine, you were a nobleman, until later we were equal to each other and were concubines. But I never dreamed that my best friend, who was like a sister, would stab me in the back, it was you who designed to frame me and Wei Xiongfeng, it was you who killed us, and it was you who took my belly from the child......"
"Say no more, don't say it again...... Come on, come on, come on, there's a ghost......" Concubine Ying shouted frantically, but the maids were like dead people, and they didn't see half of the figures.
The corners of the female ghost's eyes began to bleed, and bright red blood flowed down her cheeks, which were bloody tears containing grievances.
A loud cry rang out: "Why do you want to hurt me? I can't see if I'm dead...... Why ......"
Concubine Ying said in despair: "Don't come, don't come, I said...... I said......"
Concubine Ying trembled and said: "The three of us grew up together, but I am jealous of you and hate you, you are beautiful, I have a good personality, you are popular everywhere, and everyone likes you." Even my favorite male brother only likes you, and my biggest dream since I was a child was to marry him, but he didn't even look at me. He only has you in his eyes, and he can't see what I do, I'm not reconciled...... Later, when I entered the palace, the situation was still the same, you rose step by step, but I was pitiful. Although the emperor has favored me with your assistance, he is still cold to me, and I am still the unfavored woman. Do you know how cold it is where I live? Like an ice cellar, the emperor does not come back once a year. I still designed to bring him over, otherwise how could I be today? ”
As she spoke, Concubine Ying's expression changed a little and she shouted, "Everything I do is something I have worked hard for, and why do you want what you want?" You are all darlings, but I am always an outcast? I was born as a concubine, and I have been coldly regarded since I was a child, so I tried very hard in everything I did, but later I found that it was useless. So I changed and became unscrupulous, because only then can I get what I want. ”
Concubine Ying lifted the quilt emotionally and shouted: "You come to kill me, come, I'm not afraid of you......"
Four or five more female ghosts floated at the door, with the same cloak and the same mournful eyes.
This time, Concubine Ying saw clearly that they were Xiao Guifei who was poisoned to death by her, Zuo Meiren who was designed to be killed, as well as Lin Guiren and Yu Jieyu......
The female ghosts stretched out their hands in unison, floated over and grabbed her neck to ask for her life, Concubine Ying only felt that her breathing was miserable, struggling on the verge of death.
"Ah...... No...... Don't ......" Concubine Ying, who was on the sickbed, suddenly woke up from a nightmare and was scared into a cold sweat.
The maid exclaimed, "Niangniang, Niangniang, what's wrong with you? Having nightmares again? ”
Concubine Ying, who was depressed, realized that she was dreaming just now.
The maid wiped the cold sweat on Concubine Ying's forehead with a brocade handkerchief, and handed another cup of tea, and Concubine Ying felt relieved after taking a sip.
The maid dressed in palace clothes spoke: "Qi Yu Niangniang, your medicine has been cooked according to the instructions of the imperial doctor, you drink it while it is hot." ”
Concubine Ying nodded.
The maid took a sip as usual and handed it to Concubine Ying.
Concubine Ying, who has always been suspicious, took out the silver needle on the side of the pillow and put it in the medicine, and drank it with peace of mind until it was confirmed that it was non-toxic.
As the saying goes: "If you don't do bad things, you won't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door." ”
Obviously, Concubine Ying has done a lot of bad things in her life, so she has been haunted by ghosts and nightmares recently.
Concubine Ying put on a stand and asked sharply, "What kind of rituals does the monk of Fahua Temple do?" It's useless at all, hurry up and find someone to change. ”
"Yes."
The maid at the door came to report, and King Gongren came to say goodbye.
"Come in!"
King Kyoin wore a white brocade robe, and the pattern of the body was embroidered with silver thread, which was luxurious and dignified.
His face was still white, bloodless white, and there was a sickly beauty all over his body.
Fortunately, the lips are no longer as white as before, and they have a little color, and on the whole, he is a gentle and thin sick man.
King Gongren saluted and said, "The child greets the mother concubine." ”
"Get up!"
"Thank you, Princess." King Gongren spoke: "Is the mother's illness better?" I still look a little weak, but have I taken medicine? How was your rest last night? ”
Concubine Ying sighed and said, "It's okay, but how do you feel about your body today?" You are now twenty years old, you were born weak, and then you were framed for poison, this disease is twenty years, and caring for your body has become my habit for many years. ”
King Gongren thanked him: "Mother doesn't have to worry about me, I'm fine, but you've been sick from hard work." Recently, the child ordered someone to send a tranquilizing pill, and the mother concubine took it every day before going to bed, which should help you sleep. ”
"I have a heart, I feel much better with you every day to talk to me." Concubine Ying said with relief.
Zeng Mansion Zeng Qingfeng Study
Zeng Qingfeng put down the letter in his hand and said to Linghu Subai: "Sure enough, as I expected, the poppy purple incense poison really came from the Black Hole Mountain Villa." ”
Linghu asked in a good way: "Brother Yi, what did Brother Thunder's letter say?" ”
Zeng Qingfeng handed over the letter and said, "You can take a look at it for yourself." ”
Linghu Subai took the letter and read it before he spoke: "Well, it seems that there are already people from the Jade Girl Sect in this Black Hole Villa, and this poppy purple incense poison was brought into the original from Persia by Lin Lanji, the head of the Jade Girl Sect, and there is no one else in the martial arts today except the Jade Girl Sect." Xiao Guifei's case happened more than ten years ago, and poppy purple incense appeared in the palace at that time, which shows that Black Hole Mountain Villa and the Jade Maiden Sect have always been connected. ”
Zeng Qingfeng nodded and said: "This is not rare, the Jade Girl Sect is an evil sect that is good at making poison and detoxifying, and what is most needed in the Black Hole Villa is these side doors, we have personally gone to the Black Hole Villa to investigate, so it is not enough." ”
Linghu Subai said with a smile: "A year ago, we saw the head of the Jade Maiden Sect, Lin Lanji, pass away, since the dissolution of the Jade Maiden Sect, the whereabouts of those disciples have been unknown, and now it seems that they have taken refuge in the Black Hole Villa." ”
"It's possible." Zeng Qingfeng's dark eyes concealed unfathomable wisdom.
Linghu Subai was puzzled and said, "But what does this have to do with Gongren Wangfu?" ”
Zeng Qingfeng thought for a while and said, "Now that all the clues have not been connected, it seems that it is necessary for me to go to the Gongren Palace" in person to meet that Concubine Ying." ”
Linghu Subai reminded: "I forgot to remind you that there may be one person we know more about the affairs of Gongren Wangfu. ”
"Who is it?"
"Medicine King Valley Lord Yuehua."
"Well, I'll talk to him about it when I have time."
Gongren Palace
A few days later, Zeng Qingfeng went to visit King Gongren and Concubine Ying.
"Xiaguan knocks to see King Gongren and Concubine Ying."
"You may be seated." Concubine Ying sat upright and asked, "What kind of wind is it today, which actually blew the big red people around the emperor?" We haven't been to the Gongren Mansion for a long time. ”
Zeng Qingfeng opened his mouth and said: "The lower officials are panicked, because they are busy with government affairs, they only came to visit today, and the lower officials are rude and ask the mother to forgive their sins." ”
Concubine Ying Lanhua cocked her fingers, covered her mouth and said with a light smile: "This palace is joking, you don't have to take it seriously." This palace heard that the emperor ordered you to re-investigate the old case, can there be any progress in the near future? ”
Zeng Qingfeng opened his mouth and said: "It is old and old, and it is very difficult to inquire about the destruction of human and material evidence. I won't tell you the truth, Qingfeng came here today to find out the news of a few people from Niangniang. ”
"Oh? Let's say it, but it doesn't hurt to say it. Concubine Ying spoke.
Zeng Qingfeng opened his mouth and said: "I heard that Ah Xiang, who reported the case of Concubine Li, was originally out of Concubine Ying's palace, so I want to ask about her. ”
Concubine Ying suddenly slapped the table angrily and reprimanded: "Bold, you dare to suspect the head of this palace? ”
Zeng Qingfeng explained: "Niangniang is too careful, the lower official has no intention of taking the liberty of looking at Haihan if he is offended, if he doesn't want to say it, he can not say it, and the lower official just mentioned it casually." ”
Concubine Ying thought for a while and said calmly: "It's okay to tell you, if I don't say it, it will really make people suspicious." That Ah Xiang was originally in my palace, yes, but later Concubine Li liked me and asked her to serve Concubine Li. Concubine Li and I are the best sisters, and I've always been sad about her, and I still can't believe it's true. ”
Concubine Ying took a handkerchief to wipe away her tears, Zeng Qingfeng put her words and deeds in her eyes, and said comfortingly: "Don't worry, the lower officials will do their best to make the truth come to light." ”
"Well, that's good."
Zeng Qingfeng continued to ask: "That Ah Xiang is said to have long since died, how did she die?" ”
"Jumping into the well."
Zeng Qingfeng's eyebrows were furrowed, and he asked meaningfully: "Oh? zì shā? ”
Concubine Ying's red lips lightly said: "Yes, after Concubine Li died, Ah Xiang began to be nervous and mentally abnormal, and some people in the palace scolded her for being ungrateful and framed Concubine Li, and she couldn't think of jumping into the well for a while." Many people saw it with their own eyes on the day Ah Xiang jumped into the well, and if you don't believe it, you can ask someone. ”
"Well, Xia Guan understands."
The two asked and answered and talked a lot, until they walked out of the room, Zeng Qingfeng sighed: "This woman is so powerful, her speech and demeanor are simply leaky." ”
Walking out of the palace of King Gongren, Zeng Qingfeng saw a woman and a maid holding hands and crying and talking.
The maid was wearing the palace clothes of Gongren's mansion, and she looked like a person from the palace.
"Mother Yuan, you can't be resurrected after death, you mourn, this is Xiao Xi'er's belongings, you put it away."
The woman wiped away her tears and asked, "Why did Xi'er go all of a sudden?" ”
"Mother Yuan, don't be sad, Xi'er was caught stealing things and beaten to death. Ay! Our lives are cheap, not to mention that Xi'er made her own mistakes, and she can't blame anyone. ”
"Hey!"
Zeng Qingfeng pondered for a while, then turned around and strode away.
