Chapter 633 The Man on the Errand Chapter 634 The Incident

When the emperor saw Xiaoxiao come back alone, he finally understood that Hongluan's purpose of asking people to go to Ci'an Palace was different from his original purpose: he wanted to beat the Empress Dowager, of course, he wanted her to see what Yuan Hua did in person, and then he asked for another invitation, wouldn't it be better?

Of course, she wouldn't have been unaware of what the Empress Dowager had done if she didn't come to Yuanhua, the emperor just couldn't see the Empress Dowager's expression and was slightly disappointed; But now he is more interested in how Hongluan learned that the Empress Dowager will not come: is it that the Empress Dowager and the Shangguan family have other plans? This may not be big, if this is the case, it is impossible for Hongluan not to tell him to deal with it; The most likely point is that the Empress Dowager is now inconvenient to see people; There is also a possibility that Hongluan lowered the Empress Dowager.

The last possibility is that the emperor doesn't think it will be true, the empress dowager is not a person who admits defeat so easily; He glanced at Hongluan and touched his chin, at least he could be sure of one thing, that is, Hongluan's possibility of subduing the Empress Dowager was much greater than him, because as the emperor, he had too many scruples to scruple about and could not let the Shangguan family and the Empress Dowager know.

Hongluan was slightly shocked when she saw the emperor looking at her, she didn't plan to let the emperor know that the empress dowager couldn't come now, but she was beaten so that she had bruises on her face and couldn't see people; No matter how you say that the empress dowager is the emperor's imperial grandmother, they are all royal people, and she can't be sure if the emperor will feel uncomfortable when he knows about it.

Even if the emperor won't be uncomfortable now, but what about later? She knew how bold she was, and she would become one of the emperor's concubines: as an emperor, she didn't think she would like her to pierce the sky. Therefore, it is better for her to be well-behaved.

When the emperor saw her, she knew that the emperor was suspicious, and lowered her head to avoid the emperor's gaze, but she didn't think about countermeasures; Because the Empress Dowager will never let people know that she was beaten, she won't know if she doesn't say that the palace, Hongluan doesn't have much to worry about; It's just a reminder to be careful when acting beside the emperor.

Now the emperor didn't have much to think about anything else, because the things brought by the three lords of the Shang Palace were right in front of him; This time, the emperor didn't need to ask, and he could see on Yuanhua's face that the things on the vermilion lacquered wooden plate were obtained from the Yuanhua Palace.

This time, he was very leisurely, and asked slowly, "Is this something again?" Some things are just owned by the villains in the palace, and you can just look at and dispose of them, and there is no need to return to me for that kind of thing. His gaze kept stopping on Yuan Hua's face, but Yuan Hua didn't react at all until now, and he didn't notice his gaze: "Yuan Hua, I see that your face is a little uncomfortable, isn't there anything uncomfortable?" It just so happens that the Imperial Doctor is here, so let them ask you for a pulse. ”

Yuan Hua raised his head suddenly, and didn't dare to look at the wooden plate that had been held in his hand by Shang Gong: "Concubine thank you for the emperor's love, the concubine is very good, but I feel a little bad when I see the sisters so much; The emperor knows that the concubine has always been timid and has a small birth, and she will not be weak for a long time; It made the emperor worried, it was the concubine's fault. ”

The emperor nodded: "It's okay, I see that your face is a little blue, isn't it too cold, do you want to send someone back to fetch your Dayu?" His gentle care was a bit of a pun in Yuanhua's ears, where did she dare to answer? Even if the current Yuanhua can't wait to return to her palace immediately and ask Xiaohui about it, she has to stay at this time.

Seeing that Yuanhua didn't go back, the emperor finally looked at Shang Gong: "You didn't take things down, well, it doesn't seem to be ordinary things; It's something, show me - you've done everything in the East Palace, there's no problem moving the palace today, right? No mistakes, not a lot of words"

Lord Shanggong saluted: "Yes, the emperor, the affairs in the East Palace have been done according to the emperor's orders, and you will definitely be able to move to the two palaces of Yongfu and Yongle before dark." She finished replying to this sentence before raising the wooden plate in her hand: "Please take a look at the emperor." ”

Hongluan knew very well that the emperor wanted to move the palace, but when she heard the emperor solemnly ask Shanggong at this time, she had to admire the emperor's patience and meticulousness: doing a play is definitely a full set, and she doesn't leave the slightest opportunity for others to blame.

Yuan Hua looked at the vermilion lacquer wooden plate, and suddenly said: "I see that the veil on it seems to be owned by Xiaohui, the palace man next to me—could it be that the things on this vermilion lacquer plate were found in my palace?" She laughed when she said this: "Impossible, but I thought too much; It's really that handkerchief is too similar to Xiaohui's, and most of the things I have there were rewarded by the Queen Mother. ”

At this time, she could only take out the Empress Dowager as a shield, and she knew that the more she didn't open her mouth at this time, the more she seemed to be weak-hearted; It would be better for her to expose it directly, but it seems that she has no other thoughts, at least it can give her a chance to defend herself.

When the emperor heard this, he looked at the handkerchief on the wooden plate: "Is it the palace people beside you?" As he spoke, he looked at Shang Gong and Shang Yi, who hadn't spoken since he came in.

Shang Yi lowered her head since she came in, and she didn't even look at Yuan Hua, even if Yuan Hua wanted to get news from her or ask her for help, she couldn't hint at her what she meant, which made Yuan Hua secretly hate; But Shang Yi couldn't be silent anymore at this time, she glanced at Yuan Hua, and her eyes flashed with regret or: "Your Majesty, this thing is indeed obtained by the minister in the palace of Yuan Hua Liangdi." ”

She paused slightly and said: "Although the two adults of Shang Gong and Gong Zheng have gone to other halls, there were many palace people and fathers-in-law present at that time, and the ministers did not dare to lie. She was explaining to Yuanhua, not that she didn't want to help Yuanhua, nor did she want to destroy that thing after finding it, but she didn't dare to act if she didn't have a chance.

In fact, when she heard that the emperor sent his own people to follow them on an errand, she knew that the emperor didn't believe them, and it was the emperor's people who really worked on errands, and she and the Lord of the Shanggong were just a disguise, and what they did was just to cover up the emperor's intention to search the East Palace; She is a smart person, and she wants to live in the palace until now, so she knows very well what she should do.

It's just that when she saw that the palace eunuchs searched for those medicines in the Yuanhua Palace, she was immediately dumbfounded: she really couldn't believe that Yuanhua would do such a stupid thing and put such a terrible thing in her own palace - regardless of whether the medicine taken by the concubines of the East Palace was caused by Yuanhua, these medicines should not be found in her palace.

She knows Yuan Hua's personality very well, but those palace people and eunuchs are all emperors, where does she dare to say one more word? After she came to her senses, she immediately sent someone to find Shang Gong and Gong Zheng, and made up her mind that she would never come out in this matter, and she would never say half a word more when she could say one less word.

Yuan Hua understood the words in Shang Yi's mouth, but he couldn't say that he could forgive Shang Yi: at least the current Shang Yi didn't say a word for her, and she knew very well that she didn't have those medicines in the palace at all.

Chapter 634: The Incident

Yuan Hua looked at Shang Yi when she spoke, and after meeting Shang Yi's gaze, he glanced at her, whether he could save her was all Shang Yi's body: as long as Shang Yi said that she was not present when the medicine was found, then it would be difficult to ask about it in the end; Just because the person who found the medicine was the emperor's person, the emperor couldn't ask her too much, and it was very likely that other things would be provoked.

Shang Yi saw Yuan Hua's gaze, she retracted her gaze and stood there quietly, indicating that she didn't have any; Her question now is whether to take this risk, the matter in front of her is very clear, if Bao Yuanhua then she will be worried about her life - the emperor is so easy to offend? She is just a female official, and no matter how favored the Empress Dowager is, it is impossible for the Empress Dowager to turn against the emperor because of her.

Even she was very suspicious that the Empress Dowager would really turn against the emperor because of Yuan Hua, which was one of the reasons why she didn't speak for a long time, right? There are no mistakes in many words, the Queen Mother is the same kind of person, she is extremely clear.

Hongluan saw Shang Yi and Yuan Hua's eyes facing each other, and after Shang Yi retracted her gaze, she looked at Yuan Hua and smiled, and then shook her head lightly and stopped looking at Yuan Hua: Shang Yi will save Yuan Hua to have a ghost, and whoever gets his life is not as important as his own life, doesn't Yuan Hua understand? Yes, neither she nor the crown princess understand, because in their eyes, the people who serve them are not human at all, and of course their lives are the same as ants, how can they be compared with their lives.

It is very likely that in the eyes of the crown princess and Yuan Hua, the palace maids and eunuchs who can die for them are very decent, right? There are many words without mistakes, and a smile was pulled out of Hongluan's lips, these noble people who have been high above since birth have always been dust-free; However, at the moment of life and death, Yuan Hua can realize that whoever gets a life is a life, and no one will value her life above herself, and it is not necessarily a bad thing.

She laughed at Yuanhua and now still counting on the Empress Dowager or the Empress Dowager, don't these high-ranking people know that the most reliable person in the world is herself? She suddenly felt that Yuanhua was not so terrible, and it was really unnecessary to worry about it for so long.

Yuan Hua didn't know what Hongluan's smile meant, she hated Hongluan's laughter to death, as long as Hongluan smiled at her today, nothing good would happen; She carefully scanned everyone in the hall, trying to find out that Hongluan was fighting again, and she didn't forget to return to the emperor's words: "The concubine can't be sure that it is something used by Xiaohui, but it looks very similar; Xiaohui is a concubine commonly used person, the emperor; It's just that I don't know that Shang Yi has been found in my palace, and I still need to alarm the emperor. ”

She paused slightly: "There are no things in the concubine that can't be seen, either the queen mother is rewarded or given by the emperor, and they are all things in the palace; I didn't know that Shang Yi would be so surprised when she saw it, the concubine was really strange. She once again emphasized the Empress Dowager, and did not forget that even the emperor was also pulled.

The emperor looked at Shang Yi: "I never knew that you were a person who liked to talk very much, very good, very clear; After he finished speaking, he said to Yuan Hua: "I am also curious that Shang Yi has found it, and in the end, even Shang Gong and Gong Zheng think that they want to show it to me; As he spoke, he reached out and picked up the handkerchief: "This handkerchief embroiderer is really good." ”

He didn't give the handkerchief to Yuanhua immediately, but looked at the handkerchief twice before giving it to Yuanhua: "You are really skillful when you use people's hands." As he spoke, he looked at the vermilion lacquered wooden plate.

After the emperor unveiled the wooden plate, everyone's eyes fell on it, and there was nothing very strange in it, just two small paper bags, but they were just a little flattened.

In fact, even if the veil was not opened, the emperor, Yuan Hua, and Hongluan all knew that there was something in the wooden plate; But Yuan Hua pretended not to know, after Shang Gong's last fright, this time she was obviously a lot calmer.

The emperor was just pushing the boat down the river or playing cat and mouse, and he didn't reveal it when he saw Yuan Hua playing, until he saw two paper bags, he picked up one and asked Yuan Hua: "This is a thing?" ”

Yuan Hua pursed her lips, she could be sure that there was absolutely no such thing in her hall, but she also knew that it was the thing she gave to Hongluan: Hongluan later asked for the medicine powder twice, because she wanted to ensure that Zixuan and the others could eat the medicine and not eat less, so Hongluan told her to cast a wide net, and the medicine used was naturally indispensable.

Yuan Hua knew how Hongluan gave the medicine, so she didn't suspect that she gave the medicine to Hongluan very happily, and according to her calculations, there were still some medicines left in Hongluan's hands, but by no means as many as two full packs.

"Concubine, I don't know." Her voice was slightly dry, for she could see that the medicine bag had not been opened except that it was flattened and flattened compared to when it was given to Hongluan; And she and Xiaoxiao, Xiaohui and others wrapped things in folded paper bags are a little habitual; It's just that she didn't expect Hongluan to notice, and cleverly used it to kill her.

The emperor raised his eyebrows: "You don't know? Looking at Shang Gong and the others, he nodded lightly: "It seems that I don't know which palace people and eunuchs did it, it's really annoying." As he spoke, he gently opened the paper bag: "The wrapping is still very delicate, it is definitely not something that a eunuch can make, but it looks like a woman has carefully wrapped it." ”

After opening it, he looked at the medicine powder in the paper bag and frowned: "Yuanhua, you are honest with me, you really don't know what is going on with this paper bag?" "He's serious now.

Hongluan looked at Yuanhua and knew that she was wrong no matter how she answered now, but if she continued to deny it, she would only be even more wrong; She curled the corners of her mouth and guessed in her heart that Yuan Hua would never admit it.

"The concubine really doesn't know." Just like Hongluan guessed, Yuan Hua denied it in one bite; Moreover, when she saw that the emperor did not see the small habit of folding paper bags, she secretly sighed in her heart; Now she just insisted that she didn't know, and asked the emperor to kill all the people in her palace, anyway, the only people who knew about it were Xiaoxiao and Xiaohui - of course she wanted to keep these two.

The emperor nodded: "Hongluan, give this medicine to the imperial doctors to check and test." "That's the point, otherwise the next play will be really hard to sing.

Hongluan promised to give the medicine to the imperial doctor, and the imperial doctors examined it in the palace, and several people's faces were extremely ugly after reading it. But the emperor was waiting, and the imperial doctor headed by him knelt down hard: "Your Majesty, the ministers think that this medicine is the poison of Liangdi and others; Although it will not hurt her life, it can make a woman unable to give birth for a short time. ”

When these words were uttered, the apse was so quiet that everyone stared at their toes and didn't even dare to blink, because the emperor's breathing sounded so clearly in their ears that it was as heavy as thunder in the sky.

The emperor asked slowly, "You say?" ”

At the same time, Yuan Hua had already knelt on the ground: "The concubine was wronged"

Hongluan let out a breath, she could finally keep Yuanhua away from the queen's position, and her current crisis was slightly lifted; However, there is a queen mother who believes that Yuanhua will not be beaten into the cold palace so easily, how can the emperor give the Shangguan family a few thin noodles.

The women worked hard for three watches, and the relatives worked hard to smash all kinds of tickets
