Chapter 126: Suspicion
Huanpei walked quickly into the inner room of Piaoying Garden, and closed the door neatly. "Niangniang, there is news from Fengling Palace, saying that the queen has woken up."
The silver needle that Ruan was pinching pierced her satin fingers, and she suddenly let go of her hand in pain. The dragon scale belly pocket embroidered for the child just fell to the ground.
"Mother, are you alright?" Huan Pei hurriedly went over to look at her finger: "The slave maid will go and get the white grass root to stop the bleeding for you." ”
"No need." Rouel cried out to her fingers, tasting blood.
"Niangniang, don't worry, our plan is seamless, and no one will notice it." Huan Pei lowered his voice and said, "Even if the person who attacked him risked his life, he would not betray you. What's more, he is still waiting in the construction department as if nothing happened, he has checked what he should have checked, and he has asked what he should ask, didn't the Queen Mother find any flaws. You have to rest assured. ”
"I'm just annoyed that the queen's life is really big, so she won't die." The hatred in Soft Er's heart rolled violently: "If she doesn't die, sooner or later she will know that I hurt her." She didn't even care about the queen mother, relying on the emperor's grace to control the fate of all the concubines in the harem. But even coaxed the emperor to hand over my child to her to raise, why? I will not allow her to live! ”
"Don't worry, Niangniang, in fact, there is another false rumor in the palace now, saying that the queen did not hesitate to stage this bitter trick in order to fight the queen mother. Although there is no real evidence for this matter, if such a statement is always passed to the emperor's ears, the emperor will not be allowed to believe it. What's more, if it really makes trouble, how can the queen mother not face herself, and she will inevitably make the queen unable to eat and walk around. ”
"Listen, from now on, don't talk about it." Ruan Er settled down, but instead had an idea: "Whether it is the queen's rumor or the queen mother's rumor, don't say it from the mouths of the people in our palace." In this matter, if the emperor really believes in the queen, no matter how much money is spent, it will be in vain. The emperor has already lost his temper at the Queen Mother in Fengluan Palace. The best, and smartest, thing to do is not to mention it again. It's really just a matter of turning the page. Everyone is fine. ”
"Yes." Huan Pei nodded repeatedly. "The slave obeys."
Rouer made her pick up the unfinished dragon scale belly pocket, which was stained with her blood.
"This thing is stained with blood, I'm afraid it's not good, it's better for the slave to get some materials again, and work hard to re-sew it." Huanpei's eyes were full of worry.
"Nope." But Joel refused. "Let this child know how his mother did not hesitate to exhaust her heart and soul to bring him into this world."
After taking the belly pocket, Ruan Er continued to embroider it seriously. "You go out first."
"The slave and maid are gone." Huan Pei has been serving with Rouer for many years. In the past, she didn't understand why such a woman would be chosen by the Queen Mother, and only after entering the palace did she understand that she relied on the similarity of her appearance. But being able to be selected and favored is just the beginning, and being able to keep her life and soar up the ladder depends on her ability.
Now look at it, Concubine Ying is a capable person.
Although she woke up, Cen Muning was not strong up and down, and she always felt that her hands and legs could not use her strength, and she was dizzy as soon as she got up and sat down for a while. I didn't have the strength to eat anything, and I wanted to vomit after two bites.
"The emperor doesn't have to accompany his concubines." Her soft voice seemed so weak. "It's good for the concubine to sleep for a while. It's so late, the emperor should also go back to the palace to rest. ”
Zhuang Chenchen didn't make a sound, just glanced at the green plow.
"Yes." Qingli understood, pulled Bingling and led the palace maids who were waiting in the room to retreat together.
Although Cen Muning was not bright at this time, he could still feel that he had something to say to him, so he raised his head and looked into his eyes: "Does the emperor have anything to ask his concubine?" ”
"I want to ask you how you got hurt. What was so strange about that day? ”
Cen Mu Ning Rao shook his head: "The concubines just follow the routine to check whether the palace people are slacking off in their work, although repairing the palace is for those concubines who are not favored." But the concubine still hopes to do it once and for all, such a major repair, at least fine. I don't want such an accident. ”
"The queen thinks this is an accident?" Zhuang Yanchen stared at her eyes, which were not bright.
"Everything is an accident until there is no evidence." Cen Muning answered this skillfully, and a second ago, she felt that he cared about herself, afraid that this matter was the poisonous hand of the Queen Mother. But in the next second, she suddenly became alert, and when she raised her head, her eyes were full of doubts: "Could the emperor be a suspicious concubine?" ”
Zhuang Chenchen didn't make a sound, just looked at her very calmly.
"The concubine was dissatisfied with the Queen Mother, and she really didn't look at the Queen Mother's face. But after all, the queen mother is the most noble person in the world, and she is the queen mother of the emperor. The concubines could only let it go and force a smile to curry favor. Even if he really can't bear it, he will definitely not risk his life to frame the Queen Mother. After Cen Muning said this, she couldn't help but smile bitterly.
It seems that the blood stasis in her head has not been cleared yet, otherwise it would be impossible to explain a bunch of things so patiently.
If Zhuang Yanchen didn't believe it, even if he said that the sky was falling, he wouldn't believe it.
"What are you laughing at?" Zhuang Chenchen looked at her suspiciously.
"The emperor said that he would believe in his concubines." She stared into his eyes: "It's only been a long time, has the emperor forgotten about this?" ”
"Are you pointing at me?" Zhuang Chenchen was slightly unhappy.
"Not really." Cen Muning lowered her head and endured the pain of the injury: "The concubine is just thinking, why did she wake up so quickly." If you wait for the emperor to find out the whole thing and the concubine wakes up, she doesn't have to suffer such doubts. Or, if the concubine didn't wake up, she didn't have to listen to such words. ”
"That's it." Zhuang Chenchen got up: "You are sick, I don't care about you." ”
"Then thank you, Emperor." Cen Muning struggled to support her body with her hands, thinking about lying down slowly. Unexpectedly, there was no strength in her hands, and she fell on the pillow with a bang. After all, the jade pillow was too hard, and she frowned when she hit her cheeks with pain.
Just waited for her to lie down, the room was already quiet, and Zhuang Chenchen didn't know when she left.
"Miss." When Bingling walked in, the fire in his heart had not been eliminated: "Actually, I can't complain about the emperor, it's all Yin Li's fault." It was he who went forward with the emperor and slandered him, making the emperor suspicious of you. But in fact, before that, you didn't wake up, the emperor came every day, sometimes he didn't say anything, he just stayed by your side quietly, miss, the slave always felt that the emperor had you in his heart. ”
"Don't talk about that." Cen Muning hated the jade pillow on the pillow: "You can change to a comfortable soft pillow." This one is just thrown out. ”
Qingli came in with a smile: "Don't worry, the emperor has asked the slave to choose a soft pillow for you." ”
In other words, he saw himself on the pillow, but he didn't intend to help her at all. But also, he is the emperor and the monarch, and he doesn't have to care about which concubine he has.
"Actually, there is another reason why the emperor is angry." Qingli helped the queen change the pillow for her, and whispered: "You were just injured, and the emperor came to see you." immediately went to Fengluan Hall to ask the Queen Mother Xingshi for his guilt. That posture is something the slave has never seen before. Maybe after thinking about it, the emperor also felt that he was impulsive, and he couldn't stand the queen mother, so he listened to some rumors, so he came to ask the mother. Niangniang, the emperor cares about you, everyone in the entire harem knows it, but after all, no one is perfect. ”
"This is naturally not done by the palace, but it may not be the queen mother." Cen Muning didn't bother to guess what Zhuang Chenchen was thinking. Anyway, she knew what she was here for.
"What does Miss mean, there are still people in this harem?" Bingling was so angry with Yin Li that he stared at him with all his heart, but he forgot that there were other people in the harem.
"It must be Concubine Ying." Qingli was determined: "If it weren't for her, it would be strange." The emperor said that if she gives birth to a prince, let her hand over the child to you to raise. She got pregnant so soon, it must have been the Queen Mother who had conditioned her body, and she couldn't wait to use this child to compete for favor, how could she be willing to give it to you to raise? But what is the difference between her doing it and the Queen Mother's doing? It's not all one purpose. ”
"It's a big difference." Bingling sneered: "If the Queen Mother didn't tell her to do it, she would have made the decision without permission and would have caused the Queen Mother to be suspicious of the emperor, and the Queen Mother would have to settle this account with her." ”
"But there is no evidence." Qingli frowned and said: "From the time it happened to the present, the slave maid has been keeping a close eye on it. Not only did the slaves and maids keep an eye on it, but the queen mother did not relax at all. If it weren't for the direct conflict of interest with Concubine Ying, we wouldn't have suspected her all of a sudden. There is no real evidence for this, and she will not admit it. ”
"No fox, no matter how cunning, can escape the eyes of an old hunter." Cen Mu said quietly: "I am shallow, and I may not be able to let her show her tail." But the Queen Mother can. ”
"That's what Miss said." Bingling nodded: "As long as we let the Queen Mother know about this concern, the Queen Mother will definitely find trouble with Concubine Ying." Whether she can continue to hide it depends on Concubine Ying's own ability. We can also buy more time for the queen to recover sooner. ”
"yes." Qingli said with some concern: "I don't know what official position the emperor will give Na Helian." This man is so greedy, if someone gives him a little money and understands crooked thoughts, it is really troublesome. I don't know how Yin Li chose it, obviously there are three suitable, but he chose this one that is the most troublesome. ”
"The queen must have tortured Yin Li in her last life." Bingling gritted his teeth and said, "Otherwise, why would he have to get along with his mother in this life." I've seen a villain who fanned the flames and secretly made a bad person, but I have never seen him act so boldly and recklessly, and openly oppose the queen's minion. It's self-inflicted. ”
"Ice Cream." Cen Mooning frowned and called her, telling her not to go west anymore.
"Oh, the slave didn't mean that, the slave said that he must have some misunderstanding with the mother." Bingling looked at Qing Li awkwardly and smiled.
"Whatever." Qingli was a little impatient: "It's his own choice how he works on an errand, but if he does it truthfully, he can't spare him." ”
After saying this, she angrily twisted her body and left.
"Miss rest in peace, the slave will take care of other things." Bingling covered the quilt for her: "Sleep." ”
