088, useless things

Yu Lan cried and sobbed, she really knew that she had never done such a thing, she was too wronged.

But her cry was particularly harsh when it fell into Nan Huazhu's ears, she frowned and listened for a while, and sat up slightly: "You are still crying?!" You still have the face to cry! I'm the one who should cry! ”

After that, Nanhuazhu called Yu Lanqing lightly: "Niangniang." ”

Yu Lanqing listened to it for a while, and already knew it in his heart, Nan Huazhu said that Yu Lan did not have the mind and scheming to hurt people, and he did not dare to have the courage to hurt the emperor's heir, Yu Lanqing believed it, but there was a lesson from Li Lerong's past, Yu Lanqing really did not dare to guarantee that under the drive of status interests, Yu Lan could really maintain her original intention and not waver.

Nanhuazhu is indeed pitiful, she suffered a lot earlier because of Zhou Zhixi's difficulties, and now she has to be stimulated by this.

"Since Yu Ronghua said that this bead was given to you by Zhou Cairen, then invite Zhou Cairen to come, and let's face each other clearly."

Yu Lanqing said this to Nan Huazhu, and then called Yueying and asked her to invite Zhou Yan for questioning.

Zhou Yan came quickly, with a calm and relaxed look, like Yu Lan, after the blessing of the salute, she first asked Nan Huazhu's child how it was, and after learning that she was well, she looked at Yu Lan who was kneeling on the ground, and said with a blank face: "Queen Mother, what's wrong?" ”

Yu Lanqing glanced at her and said coldly, "Kneel." ”

Zhou Yan was stunned, the atmosphere in the room was wrong from the moment she came in, she already knew it when Yueying came to invite her, but at this time, she just pretended not to know, rolled her eyes, and then knelt down hesitantly.

Without waiting for Yu Lanqing to speak again, Yu Lan on the side couldn't help it, handed the Buddha beads in her hand to Zhou Yan, and asked eagerly: "Zhou Cairen, let's make it clear in front of the queen's mother, did you give me this Buddha bead?" ”

Zhou Yan looked innocent and nodded: "I gave it to my sister and you, what's wrong?" ”

Yu Lan breathed a long sigh of relief and looked at Yu Lanqing: "Niangniang, you heard it, Zhou Cairen himself recognized it, this Buddha bead is her thing, and the concubine is really wronged." ”

Yu Lanqing stared at Zhou Yan, didn't pay attention to Yu Lan, and said to himself: "Zhou Cairen, one of the beads in this Buddha bead has been replaced and processed with musk, do you know about this?" ”

Zhou Yan's eyes immediately widened, and her face was shocked: "This... How is this possible? This is the concubine's family specially went to Lingshan Temple to ask for it, and a statue of Guanyin sent into the palace together, the internal official has a record, and the mother can check it at any time. After that, Zhou Yan turned to face Yu Lan again, frowned, and said, "Sister, you want to compete with Lian Ronghua for the noble position and want to please Concubine Jing, so I gave you the Buddha beads, why do you want to defile me now?" ”

Yu Lan raised her voice speechlessly: "Since I want to take refuge in Concubine Jing, I am naturally willing to see her give birth to a child and stabilize my position so that I can rely on it, why should I do such a thing?" ”

Zhou Yan retracted her gaze and muttered: "Who knows, my sister said that she would rely on Concubine Jing Niangniang, and I am afraid that she will be an enemy of Concubine Jing Niangniang in this way, what has my sister seen in private, what has she done, why do you want to ask me?" ”

Yu Lanqing pursed his eyebrows, the two confronted each other, Zhou Yan didn't have any flaws in his speech, on the other hand, Yu Lan was blocked by Zhou Yan's sentences and felt a little like a dog jumping off the wall.

Yu Lan was really angry, when Zhou Yan persuaded her, she didn't say that, but she tasted it carefully, but she didn't know how to refute it, Yu Lan was angry and smashed the Buddha bead into Zhou Yan's face, and then pounced on Zhou Yan's bun: "You are spewing blood, I have never pleased anyone and don't cause trouble, you said, Concubine Shu is from another country in the end, and she is not as stable as Concubine Jing with the prince, and said that I have always been good friends with Concubine Jing, if I don't express it this time, Concubine Jing will definitely be alienated from me, I just listened to your words, I gave the Buddha beads to Concubine Jing, and now you bite back, reversing right and wrong, I still believe in you, and treat you as a good sister who knows you, why do you want to hurt me like this. ”

"Pull away, pull away." The concubines pulled and fought, they really lost the face of the palace, they were all the daughters of the family, what a proud person in Su Ri, now it has reached the point of fighting, such a farce is fortunately not seen by Emperor Zhou and Zhou Zhixi, otherwise it would really be a shame and throw it abroad.

Zhou Yan was scratched by Yu Lan's face, and she burst into tears in pain: "Queen Mother, murdering the emperor's heir is a felony, Yu Ronghua said that the concubine induced her and asked her to defect to the concubine Jing who has a prince, but the concubine is not a doctor, how can she know whether Concubine Jing is a princess or a prince?" If you don't know, how can you say such a thing? Yu Ronghua's words are full of loopholes, it can be seen that he is lying, and these things of the concubine are all sent in by the family, even if the concubine does not want to die, she will not take the future of the whole family, the concubine and Yu Ronghua, and the concubine Niangniang, are all innocent and hateless, whether the concubine has this child or not, they have nothing to do with the concubine, the concubine can neither be a nobleman, nor can she speak in front of the concubine, but Yu Ronghua, in front of the concubine Niangniang, I don't want to lose the friendship I made in front of the concubine Niangniang, left and right, and then weigh the pros and cons, what kind of things will be done, the concubine is not easy to say, in short, this Buddha bead is given by the concubine, and when the time comes, it can be said that it is killing three birds with one stone, and the concubine is afraid, I really didn't expect that the kind help of the moment would end up like this, and I begged the queen to see it. ”

The two of them insisted on their own words, Yu Lanqing felt strange when he heard it, but what Zhou Yan said was indeed more reasonable, Yu Lan's incoherent rebuttal, and even beat someone in a hurry, which was particularly suspicious.

Nan Huazhu doesn't believe anyone now, and she doesn't want to listen to anyone's words, so she just waits to listen to Yu Lanqing's disposal, lying in a muffled voice, aggrieved.

"Yu Ronghua has no words and deeds, plotted to kill the emperor's heir, beat the concubines, punished him with a rod for thirty, and detained the palace and waited for the emperor to be released." In order to appease Nan Huazhu's emotions, Yu Lanqing issued an order to punish Yu Lan, but how to convict in the end will wait for her to wait for Wei Li to hear it, and wait for the emperor's decree.

Yu Lan listened to Yu Lanqing's words, and her whole soul seemed to be drained away, she sat on her knees with her eyes blank, unable to say a word, in front of Zhou Yan's calm words, she was more like the person who was incapable of quibbling after the lie was exposed.

Zhou Yan covered her face and hung her head, crying in a low voice, Yu Lanqing's eyes lingered on Zhou Yan for a few seconds, she wanted Zhou Yan to be grounded in the palace to wait for review, but after thinking about it, she still didn't want to.

In fact, there is no flaw in Zhou Yan's words, rashly pursued, but startled the snake, Yu Lanqing did not believe Zhou Yan's words 100% in his heart, in which link this string of Buddhist beads was passive, and it cannot be concluded just by such a few words.

But such suspicions are not easy to show in front of Zhou Yan, since Zhou Yan dared to say that she would let Yu Lanqing go to the inner mansion to investigate, she must be confident, rather than saying that she would punish and startle the snake, it is better to secretly tell Wei Li about the analysis of doubts, and secretly investigate, maybe there will be more unexpected gains.

Yu Lanqing disposed of Yu Lan, the look on Nan Huazhu's face was a little better, Yu Lan was dragged down, Nan Huazhu didn't want to see Zhou Yan, Yu Lanqing also asked her to go back and rub medicine on her face.

After there was no one else in the house, Nan Huazhu held Yu Lanqing's hand and said in a panic: "Queen Mother, the concubines are so scared, these people smile at the concubines every day, but who knows what deadly poison is hidden behind those earnest smiles?" The only thing that the concubine can believe now, the only one who can rely on is the queen mother, today's matter, I hope that the mother can truthfully tell the emperor, and ask the emperor to call the shots for the concubines and children, and must not let go of the mastermind behind the scenes, and the concubines kowtow to the mother to thank her. ”

She struggled to get up, but was held back by Yu Lanqing.

"The palace will naturally tell the emperor truthfully, you have to rest, and the emperor will come to see you later." Yu Lanqing was afraid that she would get excited again, so she hurriedly responded, not allowing her to move easily, and then summoned Mingyan on the side and told her to guard Nanhuazhu, so that she could sleep peacefully for a while.

After this incident, Yu Lanqing didn't stay long, got up and left.

Xiuxin was still thinking about Fang Cai's affairs, and whispered next to Yu Lanqing: "I didn't expect Yu Ronghua and Li to be the same raccoon dog, they both love to stab them in the back after winning their trust, they are really unseemly, who knows if their hearts are black!" ”

Yueying tugged at her heart and motioned for her to stop talking.

Xiuxin glanced up at Yu Lanqing and found that she was still immersed in her own thoughts, so she didn't say anything more.

After Yu Lanqing finished doing this, Wei Li's side had already dispersed, Zhou Zhixi was tired and wanted to go back to the palace, Zhou Canghong connived at Zhou Zhixi, and followed her words and went back himself, Wei Li sent someone to inform Yu Lanqing that he had returned to the Qianming Palace, and was originally going to return to the Fengyu Palace first, but after getting the news, Yu Lanqing turned around and went directly to the Qianming Palace.

Wei Li didn't care much about Nan Huazhu, and sent someone to ask the imperial doctor, saying that the child had been saved, so he didn't ask again.

When Yu Lanqing entered the palace, he was still thinking about Zhou Yan's words, and after saluting Wei Lifu, he didn't sit down, and said straightforwardly: "Yu Ronghua beat Zhou Cairen, and the concubine was punished with a cane, but in the matter of murdering the heir, it is better for the emperor to decide." ”

Wei Li frowned: "Why do you beat people again?!" ”

After twists and turns, Yu Lanqing gave Zhou Yan a Buddha bead to Yu Lan, and the Buddha bead found out the problem again, and then the details of the various disputes between the two were told to Wei Li in detail.

Wei Li has been very silent, and after listening to Yu Lanqing's doubts and concerns, he bowed his head and said: "Your worries are not unreasonable, now it seems that Yu Ronghua is indeed the most suspicious, in order to appease Concubine Jing, it is true that he must be punished first, but whether Zhou Cairen is really innocent here or not, it really needs to be secretly investigated, according to what the queen said, don't startle the snake for the time being." ”

Wei Li could understand his intentions, and Yu Lanqing was still very pleased: "Then what does the emperor think Yu Ronghua should do?" ”

"If the murder of the emperor's heir, if the punishment is light, I am afraid it will be difficult to convince the public, and if there is really someone behind the scenes, I can't let him relax his vigilance, so I decided to demote the Yu clan to a concubine and send it to the cold palace."

Wei Li's punishment was expected by Yu Lanqing, and now that Emperor Da Zhou is still here, the thunder of the means cannot be just in the previous dynasty.

The disposition of Yu Lan quickly came down, and the day she was carried to the cold palace was the coldest day since the beginning of winter.

Zhao Li'er looked at Yu Lan's face turned purple from the cold, and thought that she would be a little happier when she had been fighting with her for so many years.

But Yu Lan closed her eyes tightly and didn't know whether she was alive or dead, and when she fell into Zhao Li'er's eyes, she actually felt that her lips were dead and her teeth were cold.

What kind of simple-minded person Yu Lan is, no one knows better than Zhao Li'er, and Zhou Yan obviously knew this, so she approached Yu Lan and successfully captured Yu Lan's trust.

It's hard to say who the person behind Zhou Yan is, but it is obviously for the imperial heir, Nan Huazhu is in danger this time, she took such a big risk but did not succeed, Zhao Li'er can imagine that even if Zhou Yan picks herself up in front of Yu Lanqing, but she will probably have a hard time in the next days.

Although Zhao Li'er felt cold, she was not to the extent that she wanted to go to Yu Lanqing to distinguish a few words for Yu Lanqing.

On Nanhuazhu's side, Zhao Li'er went to visit, but she was stopped outside the courtyard and didn't let her in, she didn't want to go in herself, she just made a show, and asked Mingyan to bring her words to visit, and Zhao Li'er went back.

The New Year Festival is approaching, and this time the Great Zhou Emperor is going to celebrate the New Year here, so this year's New Year Festival is destined to be more lively than ever.

Yu Lan's matter was completely buried in such a lively past, everyone was jubilant, no one would remember, just a few days ago, Yu Lan in the harem had just been disposed of in the cold palace, she was alone there, maybe on New Year's Eve, she could see the fireworks exploding in the sky.

But such prosperity and excitement have nothing to do with her.

Yu Lanqing's busyness has not stopped all year round, taking care of the face of Emperor Zhou, in many things, Yu Lanqing will also ask Zhou Zhixi to help share them.

As soon as winter arrived, the queen mother's body was a little unbearable, the palace gate of Cishou Palace had not been opened for several days, and the queen mother did not say a word about Yulan, only explained that Yu Lanqing must not hand over the core real power, no matter how hard and tired it is, once the queen's real power is hollowed out, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Therefore, the things that Zhou Zhixi can help with are all superficial, and all major decisions must be determined by Yu Lanqing.

After the turmoil in the Yulan affair subsided, Zhu Yuqiong dared to leave the palace and go to Zhou Zhixi.

When Zhou Zhixi saw Zhu Yuqiong, her face was a little unpleasant, and after Zhu Yuqiong saluted her, she didn't let her sit down.

Zhu Yuqiong knew that Zhou Zhixi would definitely be like this, this princess of the Great Zhou was always overjoyed and angry, and it was too easy to guess what her mind was.

"Niangniang, Zhou Cairen has already fooled this matter, and the Yu family is guilty, and we can't be involved." Zhu Yuqiong stood aside and spoke softly.

Zhou Zhixi took a deep breath and rolled her eyes: "It's taken so much effort, this palace still thinks that you can toss what results are satisfactory to this palace, she should have fooled the past, she can't fool it, she deserves it, go around and around, isn't Concubine Jing's child still in her belly!" When the palace heard the news that day, it was thought that the child was gone, and Bai was happy, it was really useless. ”

I don't know if she is scolding Zhu Yuqiong or Zhou Yan, in short, she is very dissatisfied with this incident, and thinks that Nan Huazhu's baby will definitely not be saved, and now that the child has not fallen, she is so cautious and cautious, Moon Shadow Palace must not even think of flying in with a fly now, she can only watch Nan Huazhu give birth to the child.

Zhu Yuqiong knew that Zhou Zhixi was angry, she hurried over, and she didn't want to coax her, Zhou Zhixi had to use people in the future, when she was angry, she still had to see herself.

Zhu Yuqiong smiled, and continued: "Although Zhou Cairen missed, but also got rid of a Yu family, the women in this harem, if they are not really on the side of the mother, there is always the risk of being favored and then harming the mother, and now the people who are still in the harem can be counted on one hand, the queen has always been alone, and personally disposed of the only good Jiang beauty, and took a Lomei person by the way, although the concubine is now attached to the queen, but the queen has not seen the concubine as her own, and the concubine is naturally not loyal to the queen. Lian Ronghua saw the fall of the Yu family, naturally the happiest person, Xiao Meiren has no grace and no heart, and was pinched to death by the concubine, so it seems that the person who is the sole owner of the harem is still the mother, even if the child is saved, but who knows whether it is a man or a woman, a dragon or a worm, the concubine looks at the emperor so unhurried, presumably she is just another big prince. ”

Zhu Yuqiong's words hit the nail on the head, pointing out the current situation in the harem, Zhou Zhixi listened silently, and felt that Zhu Yuqiong was right, the queen was withdrawn and alone, except for the emperor and the child in her heart, she was afraid that she didn't pretend to have anything, she disdained to form a gang in the harem, and wanted to hold the dignity of her queen, and wanted to be a great sage who treated everyone equally.

It is most important to have the available talents in your own hands, and the queen is alone, and she will grow in the harem in the future, so that she can confront the queen.

Zhu Yuqiong saw that Zhou Zhixi's face softened, and it seemed that she had figured it out, so she walked to Zhou Zhixi's side and raised her eyebrows: "Zhou Cairen is now the time to be terrified, I don't know what Niangniang thinks, the concubine is thinking, Niangniang might as well appease Zhou Cairen a little, with Niangniang's understanding, Zhou Cairen will know Niangniang's magnanimity, and in the future, she will be more desperate, Niangniang knows, this person wants to be rewarded with real silver, this palace concubine is also like this, If Zhou Cairen takes all the risks and has to end up complaining, I'm afraid it will be chilling. ”

Zhou Zhixi snorted: "The matter has not been done well, she still has a cold face?" Hongu is disappointed. ”

"Mother." Zhu Yuqiong touched Zhou Zhixi's shoulder, "Why do you want to be angry with her?" Isn't it more important to think about the long term? ”

Zhou Zhixi took two deep breaths and glanced at Zhu Yuqiong: "You are very good at talking with this mouth, when I first came to this palace, I saw a few of you sitting at the end and didn't even say anything, it seems that I underestimated you." ”

Zhu Yuqiong lowered her eyes and smiled: "The concubine is just thinking about the mother. ”

Zhou Zhixi retracted her eyes, glanced at Yongge standing on the side, and ordered, "Go and bring my new box of jewelry." ”

Yongge glanced at Zhu Yuqiong, and then answered, went to the back room to find the things, and handed them to Zhu Yuqiong.

"You also said earlier, it's better not to meet between Bengong and Zhou Cairen, then you can help Bengong hand over this thing to her, anyway, you know what to say in your own heart." Zhou Zhixi couldn't think of anything soft and tactful, so she directly asked Zhu Yuqiong to think about it for her.

Zhu Yuqiong had a smile on the corner of her mouth, and said with a blessing: "Then the concubine thanked her mother for Zhou Cairen." ”

After that, seeing that Zhou Zhixi had no intention of keeping people, he left with interest.

When she walked out of the Luoyang Palace, Zhu Yuqiong was quickly stopped by Xiao Menghuo, who was standing by the wall.

Zhu Yuqiong was startled, and after turning around to see that it was Xiao Menghui's face, she breathed a sigh of relief: "Why are you here?" ”

Xiao Menghuo glanced up at the plaque in Luoyang Palace, did not answer Zhu Yuqiong's words, and pulled her all the way to the small door at the corner of the front before stopping: "Let me ask you, is the matter of Concubine Jing really done by the Yu family?" ”

Zhu Yuqiong raised her eyebrows: "Did she do it, the emperor and the queen have already decided, you came to ask me what to do?" ”

"Do you swear you don't have you here?" Xiao Menghui looked at Zhu Yuqiong very seriously, as if she wanted to see something in her eyes.

Zhu Yuqiong chuckled: "Why should I swear? Xiao Meiren, if you don't have anything else to say, don't delay me from doing something else. ”

"You're not allowed to go." Xiao Menghuo grabbed Zhu Yuqiong and didn't let her go, "I know that you are not actually a bad person, if you are coerced by Concubine Shu, then I will accompany you to tell the queen mother, although she is the princess of Da Zhou, but she can't do anything wrong, the queen mother and the emperor will administer justice for you, in short, you must not help Concubine Shu do anything hurtful." ”

"How do you know I'm not a bad person?" Zhu Yuqiong was amused by Xiao Menghui, and it was a long time before she let out a long sigh, "Can you not be so naΓ―ve?" What I want to do, who I want to associate with, it has nothing to do with you, don't think I'm a little interested in you, you are different from others in my heart, Xiao Meiren, you just take care of yourself, don't meddle in things, understand? ”

Xiao Menghuo froze in place, and Zhu Yuqiong's words made her suddenly react to why she cared so much about her.

Zhu Yuqiong said it well, maybe it was because Zhu Yuqiong sent her things and talked to her before, so she mistakenly thought that she was different in Zhu Yuqiong's heart.

Now that she doesn't have much contact with herself, Xiao Menghui knows that she already cares about her very much.

But Zhu Yuqiong said that she was just interested for a while.

She is no different from others.

Zhu Yuqiong walked a few steps forward past Xiao Menghui, she paused, turned around again, looked at Xiao Menghui's motionless back, and said softly: "Live your own idle life, be obedient." ”
