Chapter 44: Framed
The tomorrow that everyone is looking forward to has finally arrived, for this day, Xia Qianxin got up early in the morning to open the door of her Fengxiao Palace, and the concubines who got the news were in a hurry to ask for peace, Concubine Ning felt that this was a good opportunity, let Ripples go to invite Baili Mingyu, who had just gone to the early dynasty, and she went to Fengxiao Palace, she didn't think about why she could know Xia Tianxin's secret so smoothly.
"Qingzhu, prepare snacks and tea this morning, everyone should spend more time watching the play today." This is the first time that Xia Qianxin has shown a smile on his face since the hedge is gone, but it is also a sarcastic smile.
"Miss, the slave maid has already been prepared, not only that, but the slave maid has also prepared melon seeds according to what Miss usually says." This kind of thing that needs to be handled by subordinates used to be done by Hedge with her, but now only the second lady and Bihe take care of it with her.
"Allure did it with you again?"
"Yes, the second miss is not so much a master now, but more like a subordinate, and they all said that if they don't let her do it, no one can stop her." Qingzhu was also very distressed, she automatically stopped the work of the original hedge, and did it more steadily.
"Alas, let her go, she doesn't feel good in her heart." Yes, everyone is blaming themselves, even Ansheng doesn't eat as well as he used to.
Lord An Sheng stood aside and secretly looked at Xia Tianxin, he didn't dare to dangle in front of her recently, if she knew that she could save the hedge and didn't save him, she would definitely never want to see him again, alas, immortals also have the difficulties of immortals.
"Miss, don't think about it, our purpose now is to avenge the hedge, so that she can look in the sky."
"Qingzhu, are you afraid?" Xia Qian looked at Qingzhu here and asked inexplicably.
"Afraid of what?"
"Our goal now is to subvert the entire imperial power, our enemy is the lord of this world, are you afraid of death?" Xia looked at her steadily, not knowing what she was thinking.
"I'm afraid, Qingzhu is afraid of death, but I'm even more afraid that the enemy will live, and I will be terrified for a day in this world, and I won't be able to sleep for a day. Isn't Mademoiselle? ”
"That's right, he lives one more day and any of us are in danger of life, he can't get used to Ah Ling and will throw Ah Ling to the battlefield to die, even then he refuses to let him go, and he sends assassins to assassinate him three times on the way, Ah Ling doesn't have his wish to vent his anger on me, I really shouldn't have escaped, if I hadn't escaped, the hedge wouldn't have died."
Xia Qianxin's hand squeezed the chair hard, eager to crush the chair, yes, if she hadn't escaped his will, then the hedge wouldn't have died, she dreamed more than once at night that the hedge was crying, she said Miss, why don't you save me?
This kind of pain and sun eclipse bones, like maggots on tarsal bones, only wrap themselves around, and every time I think of it, I have a feeling of wanting to suffocate, even if I kill him, I can't offset it.
Looking at Xia Qianxin in a daze, Qingzhu knew that she remembered the painful thing again, and she called softly: "Miss, we should pack up and go to the main hall, and the concubines should come even if the time comes." ”
"Okay." Detached herself from her memories, she was going to cheer up, and there was still a tough battle to be fought later.
"The concubine greets the queen."
"Excuse me, I was very happy to go out of the palace to visit relatives yesterday, and today I will invite all the sisters to sit for a while and chat with the palace?"
Concubine Ning was overjoyed when she heard this, this was really a good moment of God-given opportunity.
"The younger sisters are naturally willing to chat with the queen's sister, speaking of which, since the beating sister entered the palace, few of them have interacted with our sisters."
The original Liu Zhaoyi is now Liu Meiren can't help it, she can't wait for others to fight hard, she sits on the fisherman's profits, Concubine Ning originally didn't like the queen to be so enthusiastic today, there must be something greasy in this, maybe you can watch a good show in a while, and when the two of them lose, maybe the emperor will see herself again.
"Yes, we also really want to be close to the queen's sister, sisters, don't you say?" Echo ensued.
Xuanyuan glanced at Xia Qianxin without tears and walked out of the blessed body: "That sister is respectful, it is better to obey her fate." With that, he stepped back into his seat and began to drink tea in a decent manner.
As soon as everyone saw that even the concubine Ling, who usually didn't like to talk, sat down one after another, and was just about to pick up the snack in his hand, when he heard Gonggong Gao shouting: "The emperor has arrived." ”
Baili Mingyu walked into the main hall and looked very good, he had just proposed one of his own people as a guard with a sword in front of the palace in the early court, commanding the 200,000 army in the capital, isn't he very happy. In this way, he has already collected more than half of the military power in his hands, and if he collects the 300,000 yuan that is not busy with those forces to himself, he will be considered to have completely mastered the military power, and then slowly take back the power in Jian Xiang's hands little by little, he will not be the dominant family in the court, and at that time he, the emperor, will be the real emperor.
"Today's Phoenix Palace is really lively, what should the concubines do, don't worry about me." After speaking, he was in Xia Qianxin's seat.
Concubine Ning saw that the time was ripe, and when everyone was about to get up, she said: "Your Majesty, the concubines have to tell each other again." ”
As soon as she went down to the court, she was called to Fengxiao Palace by the personal palace maid next to Concubine Ning, saying that something big had happened, and now she has something to tell her, could it be the big thing she said.
"Concubine, please speak."
"Your Majesty, there is a corpse hidden in the Phoenix Palace of the Queen Mother, and she is also a palace maid, and the Queen Mother also knows it, it is the hedge of the dowry maid brought by the Queen Mother from the Hou Mansion." Concubine Ning said and looked at Xia Tianxin proudly.
"Does the queen have such a thing?" Isn't the hedge the palace maid who was strangled to death by his own hands last time, hasn't her body been cremated a long time ago? Could it be that the queen deceived him? Besides, why is she hiding the body of a palace maid?
In Baili Mingyu's eyes, a slave is a slave, and it is not a pity to die a cheap life, which master will find himself unhappy for a lowly slave and maid, this matter is a fantasy.
"Back to the emperor, how could the concubine do such a thing, Concubine Ning, you have to change the reason for slandering the palace!" Xia Qianxin looked at Concubine Ning's eyes burst out with strong killing intent, her eyes made Concubine Ning even more proud, Xia Qianxin was warning herself, she was not afraid, and then the body would be searched out and her queen position abolished, see how powerful she is.
"Is the queen in a hurry? Are you afraid that if your secret is revealed, you will not be able to protect your position? Concubine Ning looked at Xia Qianxin sarcastically, imagining that she would soon be the queen, and became more and more arrogant.
Xia Qian didn't look at her and knelt directly on the ground, "Please also ask the emperor to be clear, the concubine has been wronged." ”
Baili Mingyu looked at Xia Qianxin, who was still calm and calm on the ground, and was a little puzzled, could it be that Jian Ningxue really wronged her? Or did she make some other tricks?
"Your Majesty, it doesn't matter if you are wronged or not, the concubine asks for an investigation of the Fengxiao Palace." Seeing Xia Qian kneeling down, Jian Ningxue also quickly knelt down, pleading for mercy, who wouldn't.
Baili Mingyu doesn't think it's a big deal to see the excitement, if this matter is true, then it is just the right time to punish Xia Qianxin, let her know that she will not please herself, and when she thinks about it, she will definitely send her to bed obediently.
"What did the queen say about this?"
Xia Qianxin was about to answer when she saw Xuanyuan get up from the chair without tears, and she knew that this woman was darker than herself, and she must have thought of some crooked idea again.
"Your Majesty, can you listen to the concubine."
Baili Mingyu looked at this spirit concubine, if she hadn't taken the initiative to appear in front of him, he would have forgotten that there was a spirit concubine in the harem, this woman was quiet like a pool of stagnant water, it was really boring, she actually wanted to say a few words about today's events, it was really amazing.
"Oh? Although Aifei said, I will listen to Aifei's opinions. ”
"Back to the emperor, it's better to let people search this Phoenix Palace, since Concubine Ning is so sure that there are dead people in the palace, the emperor can also appease the hearts of our people by the way."
Concubine Ning immediately answered when she heard this: "That's right, Concubine Ling's sister agreed, and the other sisters must have no opinion." "I didn't expect Concubine Ling to help herself, it's so unexpected, God really helps her.
"But if you don't find it, then Concubine Ning, you should also understand what a felony it is to slander the mother of a country out of nothing." Xuanyuan Wutear's voice changed, and his tone became sharp, which caught Concubine Ning off guard, but she knew that it was a fact that the Fengyan Palace hid dead people, which she saw with her own eyes, and this was not slanderous at all, so she said in a horizontal heart: "This palace naturally knows what kind of crime, I don't need you to remind this palace, if it is not found, this palace is willing to automatically move into the cold palace and never come out." ”
It will definitely be searched, she just said this, there is no such possibility.
"Your Majesty, you have also seen it, and I hope that the emperor will order a search of Fengxiao Palace." Xuanyuan stood there without tears, humility or arrogance, Baili Mingyu always felt that this spirit concubine was different from the past, but he couldn't remember the difference.
"Someone! Thoroughly investigate the Phoenix Palace! ”
"Yes!"
As the minutes ticked by, the searchers came back to report.
"See the emperor, there is nothing abnormal."
"Back to the emperor, nothing has been found."
Of course, Jian Ningxue knew that there would be no discovery, because they didn't know that there was a secret room at all.
"Concubine Ning, this is nothing." Baili Mingyu gritted her teeth and reminded Concubine Ning, undoubtedly telling her that it was too late to admit her mistakes, otherwise she would not make a fuss when she really moved down the cold palace to Jian Xiang.
"Your Majesty, you don't know that there is a secret room in Fengxiao Palace, just put it there, come with me!" Jian Ningxue looked at Xia Qian and sneered, she didn't expect it, she knew that there was a secret room in her palace, and this was really thanks to her palace maid.
Seeing what Jian Ningxue said, Baili Mingyu couldn't help but doubt the truth of this matter, and it seemed that it was necessary to take a look.
