Chapter Twenty-Six: Right and Wrong
Back in the pavilion, Jiu Yu sat there in a daze, and King Changping came over, "I heard that you went to see Concubine Wan today?" ”
Before Jiuyu could speak, tears fell down her eyes, she didn't know why she was crying so much recently, probably because too many things had happened recently.
"What's wrong?" King Changping looked at Jiuyu with a worried expression, and Jiuyu sighed slightly, "I know why Concubine Wan was poisoned." ”
"Do you know who did it?"
"Yes, I know, but I can't say."
"Why?"
"Because...... Because she knows who I am. She...... She knows my identity in red-clothed September, and she also knows that I poured into the sedan chair instead of Murong Wan, if she says it, my guilt will be confirmed, and I will ...... I ...... "Jiuyu didn't know what to say, she was very helpless now, and she didn't know what to do."
"If I'm not mistaken, it's a nobleman." King Changping gently stroked Jiuyu's head, then put his chin on Jiuyu's head and said softly, "In that day, Murong Wantian made a hindrance and caused you to be put on death row, and now you are crying for her?" ”
Jiuyu remembered the incident two months ago, if it weren't for Pei Qianhao and Xia Yuyan, she would have died a long time ago, and it was precisely because of that incident that the Queen Mother had a great prejudice against her.
Two months ago, the little maid who had been following Jiuyu passed a lot of letters to Chu Xue's hands, and after Murong Wan's hand, they were handed over to the Queen Mother, and these letters were all letters of tryst with other men, and the Queen Mother announced Murong Rescue into the palace in a fit of anger.
"Murong Jiuyu! Are you guilty? ”
"The daughter-in-law doesn't know."
The Queen Mother walked up to her angrily and threw a wad of letter paper into Jiuyu's face.
"These are the evidence of your private meetings with others!"
Jiu Yu silently picked up the letter, and couldn't help sneering: "The Queen Mother really believes that this letter is from the pen of her daughter-in-law?" Did the Queen Mother really cure Jiuyu's crime without doing an investigation? ”
"You woman, so restless. The mourning family is going to put you on death row today, come on! ”
"Slow!" The emperor took the case, "Queen Mother, this matter has not been investigated clearly, so I am afraid that such a disposition is unreasonable." The queen mother saw that the emperor was also going to intercede for her, and her anger at this time was even more irrepressible, "Is the emperor going to disobey the mourning family for this woman today?" ”
"Erchen doesn't dare!"
"It's good that the emperor understands. Someone, take her down for me. ”
Murong Wantian, who was standing beside the Queen Mother, slowly stepped forward, "Queen Mother, even if Jiu Yu is not good, don't be angry, this matter can be discussed later, what do you think?" ”
The Queen Mother sighed slightly, "It's still Concubine Wan who knows the most." ”
As soon as this incident came out, Pei Qianhao was more anxious than King Changping, but it was useless to be anxious, he wanted to save Jiuyu, but he didn't know what to do, at this time Xia Yuyan pushed the door in, "Is the husband bothered about the princess?" Why don't you listen to the concubine's plan? ”
"Do you have a way?"
"I don't know if it's useful."
"But it doesn't hurt for you to say it."
"The top priority is to rescue the princess from death row first, that is, to start with those letters, which are both letters and written by people, if not from the hands of the princess, then from the hands of the concubine, the letters were written to the husband when the concubine was not out of the cabinet, but the husband never responded, and now that he is married to the husband, the letter is also put away, but I don't know that it was stolen by someone with a heart to frame the princess."
"This ...... ...... your name" Pei Qianhao faintly felt that it was inappropriate to do this, but there was no faster and more effective way. Xia Yuyan smiled slightly, "The princess and I are close friends, so it doesn't hurt to be wronged, it's just that this can only save her for a while, but it can't save her for a lifetime, and people with a heart will still harm her, so we must find out the person who forged the letter, and the husband will look for it, and the concubine will imitate the princess's handwriting in the house in the past few days, okay?" ”
Pei Qianhao nodded, and gently stroked the hair on Xia Yuyan's forehead, "You are pregnant, and you are still working so hard for me." It's really hard for you. ”
That time Jiuyu escaped, I really want to thank Pei Qianhao and the emperor, if there is no emperor to rehabilitate her, presumably Jiuyu will die in Huangquan, although the king of Changping does not say it, but he still mutters in his heart, I don't know why he began to mind the existence of Pei Qianhao, that day on the battlefield, he and Zhan Hongya's affair made Pei Qianhao so angry, and even clashed with his boss for this matter, and now in order to rescue Jiuyu on death row, he actually sacrificed his name as a pregnant wife, This made King Changping's heart full of dissatisfaction, but no matter what, Pei Qianhao and his wife did save Jiuyu, and he really wanted to thank them.
Although Jiuyu can't say who is sniffing and looking for grass to harm Concubine Wan now, but she can stop her from drinking those tonic decoctions, Jiuyu stayed in front of Murong Wan's bed all day, and finally Concubine Wan's condition improved, that day, Jiuyu saw that her state had improved, and she was about to leave, but she didn't want Concubine Wan to fall to the ground with a plop, "Today, I thank you for saving your life, please forgive me for my mistakes, and I won't embarrass you in the future, just ...... I have my own things to do, and I can't avoid any harm to others! Please ...... Forgive. Murong Wan kowtowed his head twice.
Jiu Yu sighed slightly, "I don't care what you want to do, as long as you don't hurt my mother, as long as you don't hurt the Changping Palace, as long as you don't hurt Concubine Jing and the Tenth Prince, I won't interfere." ”
"I promise you that I will protect the Changping Mansion and your mother, but ...... Concubine Jing and I can only live one, thank you for the grace of not killing today, I will return you two rings, and now you and I are even, and we don't communicate with each other. ”
Jiu Yu turned around and looked at Murong Wantian, who was still a little sickly, "I think you also know who is harming you, I won't say anything else, I just hope ...... Ask for your own blessings. ”
After that, Jiuyu left Concubine Wan's palace, and Concubine Wan, who was sitting on the ground, tears slipped down from the corners of her eyes, since she was a child, she would only embarrass Murong Jiuyu and Qiu's family, she has been against Xifang, she has always been obedient to her mother's life, but she never thought that it was her most trusted cronies who wanted to harm her now, but it was her sister who had bullied her who had bullied herself. Who can tell which is right and which is wrong, but at this time, Murong Wantian has no way out, if she does not push the third prince to the position of prince, how can Pei Shaoxiang let go of the Murong family, how can Luo Ao let go of the Murong family, she can only step on other people's corpses for her mother's family, and climb up step by step, she must be the queen.
At this moment, Murong Wantian is no longer the willful and proud eldest lady she used to be, and she now has only two words in her heart - queen. She has long forgotten who she was going to marry the person she loved in her heart, she has long forgotten the obsession in her heart when she saw Pei Qianhao, and now she is just a walking corpse, just a victim of the royal battle.
Jiuyu leaned on the couch, and didn't want to think about the chaos in the palace gate, if she continued to think about it, she was afraid that she would be distressed.
That day, Jiuyu was wandering on the street with red sleeves, and a ragged beggar ran across him, and he happened to hit Jiuyu's body, and the red sleeves stepped forward to protect the lord, "Where did the thief come from, and he actually ran into the princess." ”
"Wait."
Jiuyu felt that something was wrong, looked at the strong man chasing her behind her, and then looked at the little beggar who was huddled beside Jiuyu and begging, this group of strong men chased here, and when they saw Jiuyu, they immediately knelt on the ground, "I don't know that the princess is coming, and I bumped into the princess, please forgive the princess." ”
"Why did you hit her?"
"She steals."
"Stealing something?"
"Stealing one of my family's roast chickens and two steamed buns."
"It's just a little bit of food, and I'll pay it back for her." Jiuyu took out some loose silver from her purse and handed it over. The strong man who was the leader immediately said, "Princess, this is ...... That's too much. ”
"Take it, it's an apology."
A few people thanked Jiuyu and retreated, but the little beggar beside her, but did not dare to raise his head, did not dare to speak, her body was full of scars, Jiuyu slowly squatted down, at this time there was a minister behind him riding a horse, saw the princess, then dismounted and saluted, the beggar heard the voice, dodging is even more powerful.
"Is the general going to march to war?"
"My Lin clan will be stationed in the north from today."
"Don't be sad, general, if Concubine De sees you like this, I'm afraid she will be sad."
"Thank you, princess, the minister has taken his leave."
"The general is careful all the way."
This General Lin is the elder brother of Concubine De's mother's family, who has been galloping on the field for many years, and has made countless meritorious achievements, but now he is prosperous and lossy, and Concubine Degui was killed with a cane, and his mother's family was punished.
Jiuyu turned her head to look at the little beggar huddled in the corner, "You...... Don't have a family? ”
She didn't speak, Red Sleeves was anxious, and squatted down, "The princess asked you." After speaking, she was stunned, Jiuyu felt strange and patted her red sleeves, "Why don't you speak?" ”
Red Sleeves looked at Jiuyu with a panicked face, and Jiuyu felt that something was wrong, and gently lifted the beggar's face, which ...... This is clearly Concubine De, although she is covered with bruises and her face is covered with sludge, but how can the appearance of this closed moon shy flower be someone else, Jiu Yu looked around.
"Red Sleeves, take this beggar home."
The two of them led her through the back door to avoid being seen, and when they returned to the room, her face was full of tears, her clothes were very shabby, and she had no shoes on her feet.
After some makeup, Concubine De returned to her former appearance, but her face was pale and covered in injuries.
"Concubine De, how did you survive?"
"On that day, I knew that I was going to die, so I bought the eunuch who was punished with the rod, but fortunately this man remembered that I was kind to him and took more care of me, so that I could survive, but I escaped from the mass grave, and I had nowhere to go, so I did not go back in order not to cause trouble to my mother's family." When she said this, tears fell out, and the concubine Niangniang, who was once crowned with a phoenix crown and admired by everyone, ended up like this.
She plopped and knelt on the ground, "The princess will definitely avenge me." ”
"Don't kneel down to me, get up and speak."
"I didn't take medicine in the queen mother's medicine, the queen mother has been so kind to me, and she has taken care of her more over the years, how can I harm her, all this is ......" She stopped talking again, and Jiu Yu was afraid that she also understood that all this was done by Murong Wan.
"All of this was done by Murong Wantian?"
She nodded and didn't speak, thinking that Murong Wantian was originally going to that position, and now it was expected to attack Concubine De.
