Chapter Twenty-Five: Assassination
Zhuang Chenchen remained silent, just waiting quietly.
Cen Muning was isolated and in danger, so it was inevitable that she would panic.
"Is it dumb, or is there no quibble?" Seeing that she didn't speak, the Queen Mother's tone was a little more majestic.
"The Empress Dowager Qiyu, the concubine used hundreds of fragrant flowers such as moon linxiang, jataman, Du Heng, fine spice, borneol, Canaan incense, lily, jasmine and so on to reconcile the smell, and finally selected 30 kinds of spices to make this kind of lavender. Knowing that the Queen Mother and Concubine Zhen don't like the strong taste very much, the concubine selected the ingredients before entering the Ruiming Palace, and slowly smoked them in the shade in a breezy way to make the aroma pleasant. ”
Cen Mooning said cautiously: "It's a pity that the concubine is so dense that she forgot that the queen mother likes nectar, and there are a lot of bees in the palace." It's only been spring for a long time, and there is a slight shortage of flowers, so beekeepers will supply the bees with sugar water, or a small amount of honey. So much so that when they smelled such a rich aroma, the bees would accidentally injure Concubine Zhen. ”
After saying these words slowly, Cen Mu Ning raised her head, her eyes reddened slightly: "Although it is said that she has done something wrong with good intentions, Mu Ning is willing to accept any punishment." It's just that I also ask the Queen Mother to know that the concubine will never dare to plot against you and the concubine, everything is just an unintentional mistake. ”
The Queen Mother raised her hand, and someone brought the clothes she presented. The smell of incense is also faintly comforting. "So, you didn't mean to kill someone?"
"The concubine doesn't dare." Cen Mu crouched on the cold floor tiles and said sincerely: "The Queen Mother is kind to the world, and the concubine treats the concubine very well, and the concubine is too late to be filial to the Queen Mother and the concubine, how dare she have such a rebellious heart." I also hope that the Queen Mother will forgive her sins. ”
From beginning to end, Zhuang Yanchen listened silently, not planning to say anything.
Of course, Cen Muning didn't dare to expect him to help, as long as she didn't take the opportunity to step on it, she should be thankful.
"That's it." The Queen Mother hooked her lips slightly: "Get up, it's cool on the ground." ”
"The Queen Mother." Princess Ziyang muttered dissatisfiedly: "How can you believe her so easily." Don't you know, Concubine Zhen has suffered a lot. Wouldn't it be ...... if you had called for bees too?"
The Queen Mother frowned and glared at Ziyang.
"The daughter trained by Cen Xiang will naturally not be so bold." The Queen Mother said quietly: "It's just Concubine Zhen, Princess Ruiming has to take care of it carefully." ”
"Yes." Cen Muning's heart chuckled, the Queen Mother was clearly going to push her to Concubine Zhen to suffer.
"The hour is almost up, you go and see the concubine." The Queen Mother waved her hand, her face slightly bright.
"The retainers retired." Zhuang Chenchen behaved calmly, as if he hadn't seen anything at all.
Cen Muning could only retreat with him quietly, and when she turned around, she inadvertently saw Princess Ziyang's hidden sharp gaze, and she had an ominous premonition.
"His Royal Highness King Ruiming, so you are here." An inner chamberlain hurriedly came over and said respectfully: "The emperor is angry in the imperial study, please come over immediately." ”
Zhuang Chenchen bowed slightly, and said to Cen Muning: "You go to visit the concubine first." ”
"Yes." Cen Muning's heart beat a little faster, and he followed the inner servant who led the way to Yongdao. The more I walked, the more I felt that something was wrong. "Isn't the palace of the concubine next to the queen mother? How did you go a little off? ”
"Impartially." The leading chamberlain suddenly turned his face and took out a piece of hemp rope hidden in his sleeve. "The slave will send the princess on the road!"
