Chapter 787: Concubine Chuanxian
"Concubine Xian?" Emperor Jingming's mind instantly appeared with an image that described withered, like a female ghost.
He never thought that the second thing would be related to Concubine Xian, after all, Concubine Xian's health is getting worse day by day, and she really doesn't look like a person who has the energy to make trouble again.
"What does it have to do with Concubine Xian?"
Pan Hai lowered his eyes and said: "Ten years ago, Xiao Deng Zi was just a little waiter on an errand in the imperial tea room, and one day he accidentally knocked over a glass cup, and he was so scared that he wanted to throw himself into the lake. ”
Emperor Jingming frowned when he heard this: "Was there anyone who knew about this matter?" ”
Generally speaking, like this kind of palace person who is favored by a certain mother, as long as the matter of grace spreads, the concubines of other palaces will not be happy to use it, but ten years later, Gonggong Deng became the steward of the pantry of Chunhua Palace.
Concubine Ning lives in the main position of Chunhua Palace, and she has long been a concubine, if she knows about this, she doesn't want to use Gonggong Deng's words.
"The concubine doesn't know about this!" Concubine Ning said angrily.
There are still people in her palace who are virtuous concubines?
Thinking about a person who has received the favor of Concubine Xian is actually in charge of her palace's tea, water, melons and fruits every day, Concubine Ning vomits to death.
Emperor Jingming glanced at Concubine Ning and twisted his eyebrows in displeasure.
On weekdays, he can tolerate the unreasonable troubles of the concubines, which does not mean that he is willing to endure it now.
To put it bluntly, the usual forbearance is not afraid, but it is just pity that the harem women are less free than him, the emperor.
But this kind of patience is limited when it comes to business.
Concubine Ning bit her lip and was silent.
Pan Hai replied: "Except for Concubine Xian's side, there should be only one insider named Xiao Zhuozi, who was the one who went to Yuhua Palace with Xiao Dengzi to deliver Lingnan melons and fruits at that time. ”
Lingnan melon fruit?
Emperor Jingming moved his eyebrows, his eyes showing doubt.
Pan Hai explained intimately: "That year, Lingnan paid tribute to some lychees, and you once instructed the Imperial Tea House to send these precious fruits to all the maidens......
And this kind of thing?
Emperor Jingming blinked.
I didn't expect him to be so generous ten years ago, if it were to change to now, he would probably eat it himself......
The queen and Concubine Ning remembered.
Lychees are only produced in Lingnan and other places, thousands of miles away from the capital, but it is not easy to preserve, and the emperor is not a luxurious person, so even if they have such an identity, they can not eat lychees every year.
Because it is not easy to obtain, I am deeply impressed.
Pan Hai continued: "Xiao Dengzi and Xiao Zhuozi went to Yuquan Palace to deliver lychees, and the two of them were somehow curious about the smell of lychees, and secretly took out a lychee to smell. Unexpectedly, Xiao Dengzi knocked over a lychee with a mistake, and a small half of the lychee rolled into the lake, so anxious that Xiao Dengzi wanted to throw himself into the lake. ”
"How did Concubine Xian find out?" Emperor Jingming forgot about Xiao Zhuozi for a while, and asked about Concubine Xian instead.
"It just so happened that Concubine Xian happened to come out for a walk and bumped into this scene. Concubine Xian Niangniang not only exempted Xiao Dengzi from the crime, but also covered it up for him, as if she had received a lychee. This is the connection between Concubine Xian Niangniang and Xiao Dengzi...... "Pan Hai said dryly, and finally clarified the matter.
After hearing this, Emperor Jingming asked, "These are the questions from that little Zhuozi's mouth?" ”
Pan Hai's face flashed with strangeness, and he replied: "Xiao Zhuozi died of illness nine years ago. ”
Emperor Jingming raised his eyebrows: "Since only Xiao Dengzi and Xiao Zhuozi know about it except for Concubine Xian, who did you know about it?" ”
Pan Haichong glanced at the others, and the man hurriedly stood in front of Emperor Jingming.
Emperor Jingming fixed his eyes and saw that it was Pan Hai's apprentice Xiao Lezi.
On this occasion, Xiao Lezi's clever person was inevitably a little nervous, and lowered his head and said, "Back to the emperor, it was the slave who told the master." ”
"How do you know?"
Xiao Lezi glanced at Pan Hai quickly, stabilized his nerves, and explained: "The slave maid was a little tired after finishing her errand, so she leaned against the rockery and squinted for a while, but she didn't expect to hear an exclamation......"
The rockery in the palace is strangely showing, choose a depression to hide and be lazy, and it is difficult for passers-by to pay attention.
Speaking of being lazy at that time, Xiao Lezi was a little embarrassed: "When the slave and maid saw Concubine Xian appear, they didn't dare to show up, and they didn't mention this matter to others after that, and gradually forgot about it." Today, the master searched through all the people who were related to Gonggong Deng, and the slave suddenly remembered, so she said it to the master. ”
As he spoke, he secretly glanced at Yu Jin with his spare eyes, and said in his heart If it was really a virtuous concubine who instructed Gonggong Deng, was this what King Yan said about the restoration of the heavenly net?
And Yu Jin became expressionless after hearing that Gonggong Deng was related to Concubine Xian, which made people unable to see the slightest clue.
Emperor Jingming glanced at everyone and said coldly: "Concubine Chuanxian will come to Chunhua Palace quickly." ”
After waiting for more than a quarter of an hour, Concubine Xian appeared at the gate of Chunhua Palace, stopped a little to rest, and was helped by the palace maid to Emperor Jingming.
"I've seen the emperor, the queen." Concubine Xian curtsied, panting.
The Queen Mother has been persuaded by Emperor Jingming to enter the main hall of Chunhua Palace to rest, and she is not with Emperor Jingming and others at the moment, but she has exempted Concubine Xian from making an extra salute.
Looking at Concubine Xian, whose face was extremely poor and was about to hold her breath at any time, Emperor Jingming sighed secretly.
Concubine Xian is like this, is it possible that she will make waves?
It shouldn't be, the image of the virtuous concubine and the demon concubine is not very different.
Don't think about it, I'll talk about it after asking.
Emperor Jingming asked with a calm face, "Do you know what I called you here?" ”
Concubine Xian shook her head: "Concubine doesn't know." ”
"You recognize a person first. Pan Hai—"
Pan Hai stretched out his hand: "Concubine Xian, please come here." ”
Pan Hai led Concubine Xian to the corpse of Gonggong Deng, and stretched out his hand to point: "Concubine Xian Niangniang take a look, do you recognize this person?" ”
Concubine Xian glanced at it, and her face turned pale, and her heart was shaking.
"Niangniang-" The palace maid who was holding the virtuous concubine exclaimed in fright.
Emperor Jingming: "......"
Concubine Xian returned to Emperor Jingming, her face was so pale that she almost threatened Emperor Jingming, and hesitated for a moment before asking: "Concubine Xian, do you recognize that person?" ”
Concubine Xian didn't hesitate and said, "The concubine doesn't know." ”
Emperor Jingming's face instantly froze: "Don't know? Concubine Xian, do you know what the crime of deceiving the king is? ”
Concubine Xian looked at Emperor Jingming in surprise, with a blank expression: "Why did the emperor say this?" The concubine really doesn't know that person, that person looks like an ordinary chamberlain, right? ”
"Ordinary chamberlain?" Emperor Jing Ming sneered, "Isn't it the person you once beged to?" ”
"Grace?" Concubine Xian became more and more dazed, and the sweat on her sideburns and forehead made her look very weak.
Emperor Jingming glanced at Pan Hai.
Pan Hai understood and pointed out the intersection between Concubine Xian and Gonggong Deng.
"Concubine Xian, what else do you have to say?"
Concubine Xian suddenly laughed, smiling a little sadly: "The emperor thinks that the concubine is the main envoy based on this alone?" That Concubine Ning's sister is still the master of Chunhua Palace, and she has been the master of Xiao Dengzi for many years, is the concubine more suspicious than Concubine Ning? Your Majesty, you are so unfair to your concubines! ”
Emperor Jingming said coldly: "Both of you are suspicious, but you lied just now. ”
Concubine Xian wiped away her sweat with a handkerchief and said calmly: "The concubine didn't lie. ”
