Section 26 Goodbye, Xie Jiu (Lifting the Ban)

Xie Jiu has been in Yingcuixuan for less than two years now. Although she is famous in the palace, she does not have much power in the East Palace. Of course, this is due to her humble background, and several good people in the East Palace don't look down on her, and she herself is too flamboyant is also a very important reason.

She got up every morning, and after breakfast, she ran to the queen with the child in her arms, and always put on a full guard of honor when she walked in the palace. She and her guard of honor show treasures in the palace every day, which has become a scene in the harem. She didn't want to think about it, the harem was full of noble women, and everyone traveled in casual clothes. She is just a good woman in the East Palace, but she is so swaggering, how much disgust should she arouse.

Although I guessed it, I still asked Xiao Tao: "Do you usually have a few good people there to visit the door?" β€œ

Xiao Tao replied: "Very little, it is estimated that they don't look down on our master's background, and besides, the master relied on his son to be crowned king, and there is only the emperor and queen in his eyes, and the queen said that the queen rewarded me with something today, and what did she say, arrogant, no one in her eyes, who is not used to interacting with her, so, we welcome Cuixuan, and there are very few visitors." β€œ

"Has no one ever come to the door?"

"There are some, relatively few, after yesterday's miscarriage, I have visited the door, basic etiquette."

"Did Zuo Liangren go?"

"I went."

"How long have you been sitting?"

"For a while, when the queen came, she was still there."

I have always suspected that Zuo Ying has a part in this matter, Xie Jiu does not have the intelligence and courage.

But why does Zuo Ying have to go against me? Since her aunt had entrusted her to me so solemnly, she had learned her lesson from the last time. Why is she not afraid that I will target her now?

Their aunts and nephews are not considered powerful people in the palace. Zuo Guifei only took refuge in the queen, and relied on her ability to write some words and praise for His Majesty, so that she could gain a foothold in the palace. She has no children or daughters, and Zuo Ying has not touched the prince's side so far. What is the reason for her to turn against me again and again?

Although I don't have conclusive evidence to prove that this matter is related to Zuo Ying this time, and I don't want to touch her for the time being, there is a chance that she instigated this matter behind her back. It's just that Zuo Ying is more cunning and acts very carefully, leaving no handles. She didn't even appear too much in Yingcuixuan, and she was very deliberate to avoid suspicion from the beginning.

Although the three of them come to me every day to say goodbye, I know in my heart that they hate me. I dominate the crown prince like this, which is tantamount to cutting off their way of life, and turning their years in the palace into a long torment, a never-ending wait.

But who in the palace does not hate each other among the women who belong to the same man? Friendships and alliances between unfavored people are only temporary, and once one of them is favored, he immediately becomes the public enemy of everyone.

They may be more jealous of Xie Jiu, after all, I am still the prince's wife, and it is natural for me to be with the prince. But Xie Jiu was selected as the emperor's talented person to enlighten the crown prince, and it was originally just as a backing figure for the crown princess before she got married, a living tool for the prince to experiment with Dunlun. Moreover, in terms of Xie Jiu's background, even this tool role still promoted her, making other women in the palace who were alone in the boudoir all suffer from pink eye.

I don't know how she got married to the queen in the first place, there are so many young and beautiful concubines in the harem, and there are not a few concubines who have never been touched by the emperor, and there are not a few of them who are noble, why did the queen choose a lowly one.

Perhaps, because this is just a person who is a cushion and a tool, he doesn't choose those with a good background, and deliberately chooses a person with a bad background, anyway, it doesn't matter if she loses her virginity, but she is a low-level palace person with no future.

The queen probably didn't expect her to get pregnant at that time and give birth to a fat grandson that she and the emperor liked so much. If she had foreseen that this woman would even have the hope of becoming the mother of the crown prince and the emperor in the future, I don't think she would have chosen a butcher's daughter.

Xie Jiu became a celebrity in the palace, dragging a son every day, holding a belly to the queen to appear, envying all women, but also giving himself countless jealousy. She herself may not realize this, she is immersed in the glory of being favored by the emperor and queen, and she is immersed in the happiness of her son being crowned king and herself being crowned Liangdi.

The more the emperor and the queen exalted her, the more she forgot her identity, and the more her hopes swelled. With a son and status, she wants love again, and she wants a higher status and more honor.

The person who instigated her ambition behind her back and made her hopes swell, I don't know whether there is more treasure bet on her, or more treasure bet on me?

I guess she hopes that Xie Jiu won, but she should still expect Xie Jiu to be able to fight me in the end. Otherwise, the matter was done so secretly, leaving no suspicion or trace, that is, knowing that Xie Jiu had become a climate. I'm afraid of getting angry. But she's also stupid, and no matter how confidential she does, there will always be clues to be found.

After asking Xiao Tao to draw a fingerprint, I asked Xiao Cui to go with her. Then find a way to get the other people in Xie Jiu's room as well. It is not enough for one person to confess, it must be unanimous in order to be unassailable.

This morning, Zuo Ying came. After going up and sitting for a while, he came to my house with Zuo Guifei to visit me. Time seems to have returned to the days when I was assigned to Yingcuixuan two years ago, as if every time I thought about it, they would show up.

I beckoned them to sit down, and Zuo Ying told me, "When I first came, I saw Xie Jiumeng in a big cloak, sitting in a soft sedan chair and leaving. I guess I went to the queen. ”

Zuo Guifei glanced at her, and she hurriedly said: "I just guessed like that, I didn't follow, I didn't ask her, I don't know where she ended up." ”

I smiled and didn't speak.

Zuo Guifei asked: "How is the crown princess going to deal with this matter?" ”

I said, "What can I do, I'm a degraded person now, wait here for the fall." β€œ

Zuo Ying said: "The crown princess should go to appeal to the emperor and queen at this time." What does that puppet mean when it was found in the princess's bedroom? The crown princess was not there that day, so it shouldn't be difficult to come in and put something. Besides, why did the crown princess curse her, could she still threaten the crown princess's status? It's just a lowly woman, even if she has a son? ”

I said sadly: "But the queen said that these are just speculations, Xie Jiu really miscarried, and the puppet was really found in my bedroom, this is the hard truth." The person who adjudicates the case is telling the facts. Although there are many doubts, I can't prove that I didn't put the puppet. ”

At this time, Zuo Guifei stood up and said, "I'll help you talk to the queen, let her investigate this matter thoroughly, and interrogate the palace maids and eunuchs of Mingxia Palace and Yingcuixuan, maybe the truth will be revealed."

said to Zuo Ying again: "Ying'er, you can stay and accompany the princess." ”

I immediately said, "Thank you, no, the queen asked me to think about it behind closed doors again, but I chatted with people and confused, and the queen would be even more unhappy when she knew." "Although I really want to leave Zuo Ying to cover her tone, I'm afraid that Xiaocui will bring someone when she comes.

However, Concubine Zuo's words reminded me that since I could think of interrogating the people around Xie Jiu, the queen would definitely send someone to interrogate. I'm afraid that I'm going to be tried one by one now. Xiao Cui fortunately brought Xiao Tao early in the morning, she is the most powerful witness in this case, I got her first, and everyone else is secondary. As long as Xiao Tao doesn't talk nonsense, at least the queen won't condemn me all at once.

In the evening, Xiao Cui really brought me all the people who served Xie Jiu one after another, and it didn't take much time to get them to confess one by one, using nothing more than the double bait that can be used everywhere: wealth and freedom. Soon, thick stacks of confessions were signed with their names or their handprints.

In this confession recorded by Xiaocui, it is not that she accidentally miscarried, but that she deliberately took fetal pills to miscarry and framed the crown princess with bitter meat. Since she wants to fight, she has to fight thoroughly, and I won't give her any chance to fight back. If it was just an accidental miscarriage, and then took the opportunity to blame it, it was just a jealousy between women, and the emperor might just demote her for her son's sake. But if she took medicine and miscarried by herself, it would be to murder the emperor and grandson, to compete for favor with such cruel and fierce means, so appalling, the emperor will never spare it. Even if he is not executed, he will definitely be deprived of all his titles, demoted to a concubine, and assigned to a cold palace, never to be used again.

As for the person who buys the abortion pills, the shops that buy the abortion pills, the paper bags that contain the abortion pills, etc., etc., I will arrange everything for her properly.

Goodbye, Xie Jiu, I will miss you in the future.

Today, I suddenly received a notice from the editor, saying that I can lift the ban on three chapters of this book. I don't know if it's still useful, because it's been a few months since the book was finished.
