Chapter 74: Conspiracy
Zuo Tingxue hurriedly asked, "Where is Concubine Xi, where are you going in such a hurry?" ”
"Back to the queen, Concubine Xi is resting inside, I'm going to decoct her medicine, I'm in a bit of a hurry, so I bumped into the queen's ...... by mistake"
"Chunling~ What's wrong?" At this time, a person walked out of it, and saw that this person was wearing a white pajamas, a cloak, and his head was wrapped in gauze, and the blood was penetrating the gauze, and his hair was scattered, his face was haggard, and he walked tremblingly.
"Concubine Xi, why are you up?" The maid Chunling hurriedly ran over to help her.
"I heard a voice outside, came out to see, it turned out to be the queen, the concubine didn't know that the queen arrived, she couldn't meet her from afar, and she asked for atonement." Concubine Xi said hurriedly saluted.
Zuo Tingxue walked up to her and hurriedly supported her, "Concubine Xi, don't be polite." ”
"Queen, please inside." Concubine Xi's voice was not very loud, and she had a weak breath with a sad aura.
Everything in front of her made Zuo Tingxue stunned, and she couldn't believe it, why did Concubine Xi, who is usually called the beauty of Allure, become like this?
"What's going on?" Zuo Tingxue asked in disbelief.
Concubine Xi hadn't spoken yet, and the maid Chunling said: "Queen, Concubine Xi's body is still very weak, it's better to go in and talk!" ”
"Okay, let's go in and say, Xiaomin, you are guarding outside, and report anything immediately." Zuo Tingxue said impatiently, Xiao Min hurriedly nodded in agreement.
Zuo Tingxue helped Concubine Xi to lie on the bed, and hurriedly asked, "Concubine Xi, what happened?" I just slept for a few days, why are you like this? ”
"I, I'm fine, I just accidentally fell into the lotus pond, and I'll be fine after two days of rest." Concubine Xi spoke intermittently, Zuo Tingxue had already heard it, there must be something hidden in this, and what Concubine Xi wanted to hide, Zuo Tingxue didn't understand after thinking about it.
Zuo Tingxue looked at the maid Chunling who was standing on the side, her eyes were still ruddy, she saw that the maid's arm was a little bloodshot, and thought it was just bruised.
"What's wrong with you here?" Zuo Tingxue walked over to see Chunling, but as soon as she touched Chunling's arm, Chunling immediately curled up, her expression was very painful.
Zuo Tingxue guessed the moment they saw it, and they must have something to say that they didn't dare to say.
Curiosity prompted Zuo Tingxue to want to know the mystery, she walked to Chunling's side, grabbed Chunling's arm, Zuo Tingxue's expression was gentle with a sense of mystery, "I'll come to see you what's going on?" ”
After speaking, Zuo Tingxue rolled up Chunling's sleeves, and the arm that caught her eye startled her, and she let go of Chunling's hand and retreated again and again.
Zuo Tingxue hurriedly covered her mouth, fear filled her smart eyes, her pupils dilated slightly, her facial muscles twitched slightly, and she looked at her in front of her in disbelief............
I saw that Chunling's arm was already blurred with flesh and blood, and there was a little gold sore medicine on it, although it was no longer bleeding, but the traces of flesh and white bones could be seen clearly, fortunately it was autumn and winter, if it was summer, it would definitely bleed pus and stink.
"Chunling, what the hell is wrong with you, tell me quickly." Zuo Tingxue asked worriedly, and there was a faint pain in her heart, who would do this kind of thing to this powerless girl.
Chunling had already shed tears at this time, she looked at Concubine Xi lying on the bed, her heart was even more uncomfortable, and she still didn't dare to say anything.
Zuo Tingxue naturally saw that she was unusual, and looked at Concubine Xi lying on the bed, her eyes were also full of tears.
"Concubine Xi, what happened, why did you become so embarrassed, and what happened to Chunling's injury, you said, you said?" Zuo Tingxue asked impatiently.
Concubine Xi sat up and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and Chun Ling hurriedly took the cloak and draped it on Concubine Xi.
"Queen, there is a battle in the palace, you still don't want to know about this." Concubine Xi said weakly.
Zuo Tingxue sneered when she heard this, "Concubine Xi, it turns out that you don't treat me as a sister!" ”
"No, queen, I just treat you as my own sister and think about you, there are some things that you still don't know." Concubine Xi spoke tremblingly with fear.
Chunling, the maid who was dedicated to protecting the lord, couldn't stand it anymore, and knelt down, "Queen, Chunling knows, you are the emperor's favorite one, the slave has the courage to beg the queen to save Concubine Xi......" Chunling knelt on the ground and burst into tears.
Zuo Tingxue hurriedly helped her up, "Chunling, tell me everything about it, don't hide it from me." ”
Chunling was originally Concubine Xi's maid to marry, and she has been by her side since she was a child, so she is also very affectionate with Concubine Xi.
"Back to the queen, yesterday Concubine Xi's younger brother had a quarrel with the younger brother of the concubine, the younger brother of the concubine accidentally injured the younger brother of the concubine, and what kind of person is the concubine, the queen should be clear, after learning the situation, Concubine Xi took her younger brother to apologize, at that time, the manuscript fee said that he forgave him, but he was thinking about revenge in his heart......"
Zuo Tingxue saw that Chunling's lips were chapped, poured a glass of water and handed it to her, Chunling took the water, thanked Zuo Tingxue, and drank it all.
"Don't be in a hurry and speak slowly." Zuo Tingxue said with concern.
Chun Ling wiped the water from the corner of her mouth and said: "It was already late when we left from the concubine, we had just walked to the lotus pond, and suddenly a few masked black-clothed people rushed out, they came up and didn't say anything, picked up the stick and beat ......"
Zuo Tingxue interrupted Chunling's words and asked, "Lotus Pond, it's almost to the emperor's imperial study, isn't there a soldier over there?" There is still such a big movement, didn't the emperor come out? ”
Listening to Xue's tone of questioning, Chunling was so frightened that she hurriedly knelt down, "Queen, Chunling doesn't dare to lie, every sentence is ......true."
"Queen, what she said is the truth, I didn't plan to tell you about it, since you want to know, then I'll tell you." Concubine Xi's tone of voice was weak.
Zuo Tingxue hurriedly asked the maid to get up, she walked to the bed, her expression couldn't hide the confusion in her heart, "I didn't blame her, I just felt very suspicious, so many strange things happened in this queen, why did so many people die overnight, and today I saw everyone in the palace, I felt very abnormal, and why did you suddenly become like this, you just tell me everything, don't make any mistakes?" ”
Concubine Xi looked at Zuo Tingxue, who was always concerned about her in front of her, and her weak face showed a smile, "Queen, that concubine is a person who does not do evil, she has always wanted to get rid of me, but she has no handle, but I didn't expect my milky brother to fight with her brother, so she grabbed the handle, so the concubine took revenge, and sure enough, they started to act at night." ”
Zuo Tingxue asked puzzledly: "Why is there such a big commotion, why don't any of the guards in the palace know?" ”
"Last night, for some reason, the entire palace was as silent as an empty city, without any sound or figure, but as long as everyone who knew about it was dead, this is why so many people died suddenly." Concubine Xi spoke, with fear.
Zuo Tingxue shook her head, still confused in her heart, "I don't understand what you mean, how can there be no one in this huge palace?" ”
Concubine Xi took Zuo Tingxue's hand, "Queen, although you are the queen, you are not as big as me, and it is also appropriate to call you a sister, you must know that if a person wants to kill you, she will have a lot of plans waiting for her, so how can you and I know in the middle!" ”
A trace of fear passed through Zuo Tingxue's heart, and she guessed in her heart that this matter would definitely not be so simple.
Zuo Tingxue remembered Chunling's words just now, and hurriedly asked, "I don't know what happened to you when you walked to the lotus pond, and why is there no one in this palace?" ”
When it comes to sadness, Concubine Xi's heart is like a pinprick in her heart, and she can't help but leave tears, "I also woke up to listen to Chun Ling, next to the lotus pond, I was knocked unconscious and dropped the lotus pond, Chun Ling wanted to save me, but a knife suddenly came down from the back, and it didn't hurt the vital point, and Chun Ling's arm was cut off by the sword, and the sudden sharp pain made her fall in, and at this moment, a small group of soldiers came over, and the situation was unfavorable, those men in black withdrew, and the soldiers rescued us, and that Sun Bing wanted me to die, He evacuated everyone in Yaohua Pavilion, leaving only our master and servant to fend for themselves! ”
Hearing this, Zuo Tingxue was even more annoyed by what Sun Bing had done, and she didn't expect Sun Bing to dare to be so bold.
Zuo Tingxue clenched her fists, "Why don't you go to the palace and the emperor?" ”
"Ahem......" Concubine Xi began to cough, Zuo Tingxue gently patted Concubine Xi's back, Zuo Tingxue saw that Concubine Xi's cough was getting worse and worse, and hurriedly called Chunling to serve medicine, and the maid walked out in accordance with the order.
After a while, Concubine Xi stopped coughing, "Since Sun Bing wants us to die, how can he let us go out, as long as we get out of Yaohua Pavilion, the outside is full of her eyeliner, and we can't go out at all." ”
A mystery has not been solved, and this series of mysteries has come again, why is there such a big movement, and why has Sun Bing's courage become so big? Why did Feng Jinyi turn a blind eye to what Sun Bing did? One by one, the doubts made Zuo Tingxue feel restless.
She wanted to continue asking, but looking at Concubine Xi's appearance, she was worried that Concubine Xi would not be able to bear it, so she stopped asking, and Zuo Tingxue decided to open all these mysteries by herself.
"You see you're so haggard now?" Zuo Tingxue said pityingly.
Concubine Xi reluctantly smiled a little, "Sister, look at this palace, it seems to be calm, but in fact, it is intriguing all day long, living on the blade every day, if you are not careful, you will die, it is better to be an ordinary person and settle down at ease......"
"Slave Xiaomin visits the concubine." Just as they were talking, Xiao Min's voice suddenly came from outside.
Zuo Tingxue's face was full of unhappiness, "What is she doing here?" I'm going to get her away. ”
Concubine Xi grabbed Zuo Tingxue, "Sister, no, you can't go against her now!" ”
Zuo Tingxue said indignantly: "I'm the queen, what's the matter?" ”
