Chapter 52: Murderous Intent
"The slave went rowing, but when she turned back, she couldn't find you. The slave has been looking for a long time, but you can worry about the dead slave and the slave! Penn said.
Su Wenmei helped her up and smiled: "I'm just walking around casually, look at you're in a hurry." ”
She entered the Mingyang Palace and planned to sit on the chair, but found that the pair of glass coral bracelets left on the boat appeared on her desk. She walked over in disbelief, picked up the pair of coral bracelets, and after confirming that it was a glass coral bracelet, she turned her head and asked Ruxia: "Ruxia, can someone enter the room of the main palace." ”
Ruxia shook her head: "Niangniang, except for the people who clean." The slave didn't see anyone else enter the mother's room. ”
When Su Wenmei heard this, she put the glass coral bead bracelet into the box of the dressing table. She originally thought that he had seen all kinds of things in the world, and thought that he needed a little help. But why would he be so familiar with the terrain of the palace and know her residence clearly? Su Wenmei's eyes lit up: Could it be ......
Inside the Shouan Palace. Cheng Qian sent the Queen Mother back to the palace and helped the Queen Mother sit down.
"The emperor, the most gratifying thing on the birthday of the queen mother is that when Zhuang Zhenxiao was in danger, he promised to go to the southeast to quell the chaos in person. If we have such a person in the Xiling Dynasty, it is the blessing of the community. ”
Cheng Qian helped the Queen Mother to the chair and sat on the side: "The Queen Mother is very right. Lord Zhuang has been in the court for a long time and is reliable, and now that he has come forward to quell the chaos, his son is also relieved. ”
"But...... The pearl of his palm, in the palace, is not having a good time. The Queen Mother said: "I look at it today, the virtuous concubine has lost a lot of weight, and her words and deeds reveal the loneliness of staying alone in an empty room." ”
"She and the Su family are both concubines, not to mention that the Su family was born as a commoner woman, or you gave her a genealogical name, but the treatment of the two in the palace is too different. Although the queen mother doesn't care about the private affairs of you and Concubine Wen, as an emperor, you can't be too biased, which makes the minister of the humerus cold. ”
"That virtuous concubine has also belonged to you since she was a child, even if you don't like her anymore, you should always look at her father's face, take care of her from time to time, and give her some sweetness." The Queen Mother looked at Cheng Qian and said seriously: "If the minister of the humerus is cold, the country will not be a country, how can you have a good life with the Su family?" ”
Cheng Qian bowed his head: "Queen Mother...... That's true. ”
A large number of people have been displaced in the southeast, and many areas have even been instigated by the rebel party to rise into rebellion. Shangshu ordered Zhuang Zhenxiao to take the initiative to ask for an order to quell the chaos, and the imperial court transferred Shangshu Ling to quell the chaos, which solved Cheng Qian's great trouble.
It's just that Zhuang Zhenxiao is quite dissatisfied with his daughter's neglect. At today's banquet, there have been some whispers.
That night, Cheng Qian went to Fangyi Palace. After Xiao Lizi came to Mingyang Palace to report, Su Wenmei stupidly instructed Bing'er Ruxia to finish washing and lie on the bed in a daze.
High-rise buildings rise today, high-rise buildings collapse tomorrow, and the grace of right and wrong in the harem will always be like this. How much she hopes at the moment, how much she wishes they were just a common couple.
Su Wenmei cried alone, thinking that she was left out in the palace in the past, which was like the days of the cold palace. In those days, after the rise of the banker, I am afraid that it will be another time.
She's just an ordinary woman, a jealous woman. When she was unmarried, she never thought of sharing a husband. She thought that there was a thunderclap outside, and the summer thunderstorm came without warning, and it came violently, and she covered herself in the bed, crying uncontrollably.
On the second day, Zhuang Xianren was proud of the spring breeze, and went to the palace of the Queen Mother in the morning.
The Queen Mother was also very happy to see that the emperor had opened her mind, and pulled Zhuang Xianren to speak.
"The Queen Mother." Zhuang Xianren spoke: "In the past, Sister Wen was the most favored in the palace, but now the concubine has robbed her of her favor, and I am really afraid that Sister Wen will be strange, so the concubine will have to prepare for a while, go and see Sister Wen." ”
"She?" The Queen Mother spoke: "She is just a cloth dress, and the emperor took pity on her to come into the palace, and it is just a temporary freshness of the emperor's picture." In terms of family upbringing, it is absolutely incomparable to the original concubines in the palace. The Queen Mother smiled and shook Zhuang Xianren's hand.
However, even though she had two marriage contracts, the emperor still regarded her as a treasure and held her in the palm of his hand. Concubine ......," Zhuang Xianren said.
"What do you say? What are the two engagements? The Queen Mother was struck by lightning, and before Zhuang Xianren could finish speaking, she interrupted her words and asked.
Zhuang Xianren was very stunned: "The Queen Mother doesn't know? Then, Zhuang Xianren seemed to understand something, and hurriedly knelt down: "The queen mother atoned for her sins, and the concubine lost her words." ”
"What do you mean by telling the mourning family that Concubine Wen has had two marriage contracts?" The Queen Mother's face was gloomy, and her tone was very displeased.
If Concubine Wen really had two marriage contracts, she would not be an innocent person. It's a big matter, it's been half a year since Concubine Wen entered the palace, but she doesn't know anything about this matter, which can only show that the emperor is hiding it too well.
"The Queen Mother." Zhuang Xianren prayed: "You spare the concubine." The emperor has just had a little favor for his concubines, and the concubines ...... Concubine ......"
"That's it." The Queen Mother also understood Zhuang Xianren's intentions, and rubbed her temples with her right hand: "I haven't heard anything about the mourning family today, the mourning family is tired, so you should go back to your Fangyi Palace first." ”
“...... Be. Zhuang Xianren trembled and got up, and returned to Fangyi Palace with Ruoli's support.
After Zhuang Xianren left, the Queen Mother called Shu Yun: "Go and check the mourning family and check the details of this Su family." Be sure to check her out gently! ”
"Yes." Shu Yun took the order and left Shou'an Palace.
The Queen Mother held her forehead with her hand and felt a headache. It was her negligence, Cheng Qian insisted on Nasu Wenmei as a concubine, she saw that this woman was docile and respectful in her behavior, so she agreed to the emperor, and she didn't even send anyone to check the details.
Who would have thought that she had two engagements? If she had known this, she would have resolutely not let Su Wenmei enter the palace.
After lunch today, Su Wenmei thought that she hadn't been to see the Queen Mother for a long time. As a concubine, even if the queen mother doesn't like her anymore, she should always visit her from time to time and do her filial piety. So after a short rest, he took Bing'er and walked towards Shou'an Palace.
At this moment, in the Shou'an Palace, the Queen Mother retreated left and right, leaving Shu Yun alone in the palace.
"Queen Mother, the investigation is clear." Shu Yun knelt on the ground: "Concubine Wen, there have indeed been two marriage contracts." In the past, she agreed to the marriage proposal of King Huihong, but later regretted it and fled from Huihong to the Central Plains. King Huihong searched everywhere, and later entered the palace as a messenger to negotiate peace, with the purpose of ransom her. ”
"The other one is General Gu. When Mrs. Gu was seriously ill, General Gu wanted to marry her Chongxi. As a result, when he visited the church, General Gu repented. The Queen Mother ......"
The Queen Mother clenched her hands into fists: "It seems that this Su clan is so restless, when necessary, he can't stay." ”
"Back then, everyone thought that the emperor liked Concubine Rou, but only the mourning family knew that Concubine Rou was just a little similar to Xu Shuyi between her eyebrows and eyes, and she was just the shadow of that slut!"
"This Su family has the style of Xu Shuyi back then, and the more the mourning family looks, the more they feel that the two look so similar, and the mourning family feels unhappy when they look at her face."
She is such a scheming person, and the emperor is fascinated, so the mourning family has to guard against it. The mourning family can't let their emperor be restrained by a woman. ”
"Mother." Shu Yun spoke: "It's just that now that the Su family is in the palace, I'm afraid it won't work with the method used to deal with Xu Shuyi back then......"
Su Wenmei had just arrived at Shou'an Palace, and when she saw that there was no one outside the palace, she walked in by herself, and was about to report it, but she heard these words. Back then, Xu Shuyi ....... Her mother......
I'm afraid he died at the hands of the Queen Mother!
Su Wenmei covered her mouth tightly, tried not to make a sound, and quietly withdrew from Shou'an Palace. Bing'er, who was waiting outside, met: "Niangniang......"
"Shhhhh......h Her heart beat like a drum, and she walked briskly on the palace road, thinking about it: "When I go back later, I will say that we have never been to Shou'an Palace, let's go to the Imperial Garden, you know?" ”
Bing'er was ignorant, trying to keep up with Su Wenmei's pace: "Yes." Mother, has something happened? ”
Su Wenmei didn't answer, and went to the Imperial Garden to find a secluded place to rest. Her face was flushed and her eyes were filled with emotion, and she beat her chest, trying to calm herself. She didn't want to go back like this, so that the people of Mingyang Palace could see the clues.
"Mother, what happened? You can talk to the slave and the maid, and the slave may be able to share the burden for you. Bing'er was worried about Su Wenmei and asked.
"Penang, this is a big deal. If I say anything, you have to be calm. You can't tell anyone else, including Ruxia. Su Wenmei turned sideways, put her hands around Bing'er's shoulders, and said solemnly.
"Yes, sis. If the slave doesn't tell anyone else, the slave will definitely listen to the mother calmly. Bing'er looked at Su Wenmei's eyes and said.
"I was just in Shou'an Palace, and I happened to hear that the Queen Mother checked my details, maybe she had murderous intentions towards me. Moreover, it is very likely that the Queen Mother is the murderer of my mother. ”
"Niangniang, this ......" Bing'er was very surprised: "How is this possible?!" ”
"Penn, you have to be calm. I also knew, so ......" Su Wenmei held Bing'er's hand and trembled: "We must be calm and always be on guard against Shou'an Palace." Otherwise, if we are discovered by the people of Shou'an Palace, we will only die faster. ”
"Yes, sis. The slave will remember the words of the mother. Bing'er nodded, and thought for a while: "Or, let's tell the emperor and ask the emperor to make the decision for us?" ”
Su Wenmei shook her head: "No, no matter what, the queen mother is always the emperor's biological mother, and even if the emperor is out of harmony with the queen mother, he will be a blood relative after all." At that time, if you want to choose between the queen mother and me, the emperor will only give up first. ”
