Chapter 112: A Plan Within a Plan (1)
The nurse raised her head and looked at him with sincere fear.
"Answer me!" He suddenly burst into a loud gulp, slapped his palms on the table, and the teacup jumped three times with it.
"Yes," her body trembled, and she quickly kowtowed a few times: "It was the lady who arranged for the slave to come, and the slave didn't dare to do anything!" ”
Nan Jingpei frowned, this sound ear-ear-eared, like a glass of cheese mixed with a few teething stones. How? It's not that it's okay, but that you don't dare?!
"Didn't dare to do it? Does that mean that Concubine Shu still has a task for you to do? ”
The nurse was speechless for a while, and her body was wrong and wrong, as if she was deliberately dodging.
"What did she tell you to do?" Nan Jingpei asked bluntly.
"The emperor's ......" the nurse pouted on the ground, like an ostrich in the desert burying its head in the sand to avoid danger.
But she couldn't hide from it no matter what, he thought. He realized that he was standing by the side of the conspiracy, as long as he pushed open this door, he could see the face of the conspiracy behind the door, at this time, how could he let it go so easily?
"Come from the East!" He yelled at the door.
Nan Jingpei's roar startled the baby awake, and he grinned. The sound of the baby's crying echoed back and forth in the empty dormitory, shaking the eardrum as painful as a pinprick.
Donglai came in response to the call, and saw the nurse kneeling on the ground, he bowed slightly: "Your Majesty, the slave is here." ”
Nan Jingpei pointed at the nurse and said, "The palace maid deceives the king, you will be sent to the court for punishment immediately." ”
"Yes." Donglai didn't dare to ask more, he was a minion, as long as he carried out the emperor's orders.
He bent down to pull the nurse's wrist, the nurse seemed to be very afraid, suddenly broke free, and crawled to the feet of Nanjing Pei: "Your Majesty, the slave and maid said, the slave and maid said everything, and only begged the emperor to spare the slave and maid." ”
"Say." Nan Jingpei picked up a cup of tea and didn't lift her eyelids.
She sobbed a few times, and barely swallowed her tears into her stomach: "The emperor sent Princess Yangxiu to Zhaotai Palace, and Concubine Shu was worried that Concubine Xian would abuse the princess, so she bought the slave maid to monitor Concubine Xian's movements at all times. ”
Donglai sighed, and couldn't help but be a little surprised: "So, you're still a spy?" ”
The nurse didn't pay attention to Donglai and continued: "Concubine Xian Niangniang said that Princess Yangxiu should also be weaned, so she recommended the slave maid to Yuxiu Palace to serve the prince. The lady concubine asked the slave maid to act at the opportunity, and if there was a chance, she would eradicate Tian Meiren and the prince. ”
"What a guts!" Donglai grabbed the neckline of the nurse: "If it weren't for the emperor's subtle knowledge, wouldn't you let this bold dog slave succeed in his tricks!?" ”
The nurse kowtowed again and again: "Your Majesty, the slave and maid have not done anything, and the slave and maid will never dare to hurt the prince!" ”
He looked at the teary-eyed nurse, and his face became more and more cold. Things were far more complicated than he imagined, he originally heard Concubine Shu's curse that he was a green hat, and he was suspicious, trying to get some clues from the nurse's mouth. Unexpectedly, before he could say a few words, such a thing would be involved.
If there is no such thing, Concubine Shu will at most be a person who does not abide by the palace rules, is jealous and deceives the king, and whether she is severely punished or not is all under her control. But now Concubine Jiang Xian has been dragged in again, Concubine Jiang Xian is also from a big family, representing a large force in the court. If Concubine Shu is not severely punished, I am afraid that it will cause dissatisfaction among the Jiang family.
What's more, this is a crime of plotting to harm the emperor's heir, although there is no one behind Tian Meiren, can the enemies of the Xiao family not use the topic to play? This is such a good subject, and it is not an exaggeration to exterminate the nine clans.
Things are getting more and more tricky, he has abolished the position of concubine, what punishment can he do except give death?
But the Xiao family won the battle, and he still wants to use the Xiao family, if the concubine is killed at this time, how can the Xiao family give up? What's more, of course, the Xiao family will not sit idly by and ignore Concubine Shu's downfall, he can even imagine how the courtiers of the Xiao family and the party will excuse Concubine Shu in the court tomorrow morning. Even, they will gather forces from all sides to put pressure on the emperor until Concubine Shu is reinstated.
He rubbed his eyebrows and said, "Since this matter is related to Concubine Xian, let her deal with this matter." He kicked the nurse away, got up and dusted off his sleeves: "Give this palace maid to Concubine Xian and send it to Zhaotai Palace." ”
Zhaotai Palace is a good place, although it is not the middle palace is in the right position, the courtyard houses are not inferior in architecture, and the furnishings in the room are also selected from the treasury. In the afternoon, the sun shines through the delicate window screen on the colorful glazed objects placed on the Bogu shelf, shining with a dazzling luster. Those glass ornaments are Concubine Jiang Xian's favorite things, and they will be carefully wiped by the palace maids every two days. She likes to sit on the summer couch in the afternoon, order a dipterocarp, cook a pot of tea, and appreciate the rarity of her set.
Today, Su Zhaoyi brought snacks and preserved fruits to see her, and she couldn't be idle, so she asked someone to bring Princess Yangxiu over and coax her to play. She just weaned Princess Yangxiu, but this little girl couldn't leave the nurse for three moments. Seeing that Donglai tied up the nurse, she stretched out her two fleshy arms and wanted her nurse to hug her. Donglai was afraid of provoking Princess Yangxiu to cry, so he ordered someone to take the nurse out.
Concubine Jiang Xian pressed Princess Yangxiu's arm and said with a smile: "Please ask your father-in-law to return to the emperor, and say that the concubine will definitely handle this matter and not let the emperor worry." ”
As she spoke, she glanced at the palace maid, and the palace maid took out a piece of gold from her purse. Donglai had a light in his eyes, and he saw the piece of gold fall into his palm. The gold is very large, and it also weighs on the hand. He likes a master like Concubine Xian, with clear rewards and punishments, and he doesn't say much.
Donglai bowed down and kowtowed: "The slave Concubine Xie Xian has been rewarded." ”
Through the lattice window, the back of Donglai gradually disappeared at the entrance of Zhaotai Palace. Concubine Xian's solemn expression gradually relaxed, turning into a light smile. Command the nurse to be loosened and brought into the temple.
"This vegetarian girl eats inside and out, what is my sister going to do with her?" Su Zhaoyi asked.
Concubine Xian smiled but did not speak, and while she was talking, the nurse had already entered the dormitory and bowed down to ask for peace, and Concubine Xian also gently told her to get up. Just like a close old acquaintance, Su Zhaoyi couldn't help but be shocked when she saw this. Concubine Xian has always had clear rewards and punishments, and she has never made an exception, and when she sees her treating Su Niang like this today, she must know the details of Su Niang. I just heard Dong say that Su Niang was sent by Concubine Shu to spy on Concubine Xian, but now that I think about it, this matter is not very credible.
Think about it, how smart Concubine Xian is, how could she easily get into Concubine Shu? It couldn't be simpler, either/or. If it wasn't Concubine Shu who plotted to kill Concubine Xian, it was Concubine Xian who tricked and framed Concubine Shu.
Su Zhaoyi was speechless in shock, and she didn't expect Concubine Xian to suddenly make a move on Concubine Shu.
Concubine Jiang Xian stretched out her hand, and Su Niang covered her palm in her palm, and she shook it vigorously: "You have done a good job in this matter, and you have contributed a lot." ”
