Chapter 226: Medium Scheme
Could it be that one cool evening, Cen Mu Ning led Bingling and Qingli to walk around the imperial garden, and chose a path to enter the prayer hall.
At this time, the palace people took turns to have dinner, so there were not many people left behind in the Qin'an Palace, and it was quiet.
didn't want Lei Zhen to pray in the hall, which made Cen Muning a little surprised.
"The concubine greets the queen." Lei Zhen saluted her respectfully: "Niangniang has recently taken time to come to the blessing hall every day, and every time she has to burn the scriptures copied by herself, I don't know what is restless in Niangniang's heart, such a desire for peace?" ”
"What I said ......" Qingli was about to slap her, but was stopped by Bingling.
"Queen Mother, the slave maid will go outside and burn the scriptures first." Bingling saluted and pulled the green plow, and the two of them quickly exited the inner hall.
"What are you stopping me for?" Qingli said dissatisfiedly: "Isn't that concubine also the queen mother's person?" None of the Queen Mother's people are good things, except for the Xinmei people who have awakened early, the rest should be destroyed. ”
"Alright, don't get angry. She knew that Niangniang would come every day, and she was waiting here, so she must have something to say. Bingling lowered his voice and said: "The most important thing at the moment is to deal with Cang Lian, and when she is destroyed, everything else will be done." At this time, fearless to make enemies. ”
"Yes." Qingli rolled his eyes: "Otherwise, I will let people sneak into Weiyang Palace tonight and finish her off." ”
"Aren't you afraid that your master will rip off your head?" Bingling pouted: "Even if you're not afraid, if we do this, it will still affect the queen." Unless...... It's the emperor who wants her life! ”
What a word to wake up a dreamer! Qingli suddenly realized: "That's right, I've always been thinking about how to get rid of her without missing a trace, and it won't involve the queen." As long as it is the will of God, there is no need to worry about anything else. However, how can we make the master hate her and want her to die? ”
"It's going to take a long-term view." Bingling glanced inside as she spoke.
Qingli nodded slightly: "Niangniang must have a way." ”
In the inner hall, Cen Muning devoted herself to breaking the incense on the Buddha before she had the kung fu to talk to Lei Zhen. "After being grounded for a long time, Concubine Gong is obviously much calmer, and she doesn't even talk much."
"I have tasted the loneliness and loneliness in this deep palace, and I naturally know how to slow down my heart." Lei Zhen smiled slightly: "So since the queen mother lifted the grounding of the concubine, the concubine has been secretly looking for an opportunity. It is also because the concubines have not been favored and the ban has been lifted, and those concubines in the palace are not willing to put their spirits on the concubines at all, and the most favored one can't see such a person as a concubine. So I was really found a good time by the concubines. Now the evidence that Niangniang wants is in the hands of the concubine. ”
"Oh?" Cen Muning looked at her disappreciatively.
"That night, it was the one who pushed the noble concubine to fall downstairs, and finally entered the Weiyang Palace. Although the concubine didn't see the man's face, she did enter the Weiyang Palace. The concubine's people carefully watched all the palace doors that could enter and exit Weiyang Palace, and after making sure that the person went in, he didn't come out again. Lei Zhen said gently: "It seems that he has good skills, and he is quite flexible when he moves." ”
"I didn't see it, even if I entered Weiyang Palace, I couldn't identify it." Cen Mu Ning smiled and said: "This kind of thing of chasing after the wind and shadows, the emperor will never believe it." ”
"Yes." Lei Zhen nodded: "The queen mother is right. But we can lure this person out. The concubine saw with her own eyes that Concubine Mao was pushed downstairs, which could not be used as evidence. But if this person accidentally exposes his identity in order to make up for his mistakes, it will be different. ”
"It's kind of a way." Cen Muning just said this without being salty.
"Could it be that the queen has another way?" Lei Zhen asked with some curiosity.
"There may not be any other way, but ...... One thing is certain. Cen Mu stared at Lei Zhen's eyes, and said slowly: "Even if it is really her who pushed Concubine Mao, the ironclad evidence is conclusive, the emperor will not punish her, or a more serious punishment, and the page will be turned after a painless reprimand." ”
"Impossible." Lei Zhen didn't believe it: "Cruelty to concubines, blaming others, such tricks, how can the emperor allow her to live?" Besides, she almost killed Concubine Min. Concubine Min's mother's family should not be underestimated, and she will definitely join forces with the Ge family to put pressure on the emperor......"
"Huh." Cen Muning couldn't help laughing.
Lei Zhen's face turned a little red, and her tone was also dissatisfied: "Is the queen mother laughing at the concubine?" ”
"Not really." Cen Muning said gently: "You have been grounded for a long time, and there is no competent person around you for a while, so you don't know enough about the things in the palace. So you don't know that the reason why the Queen Mother was seriously injured and almost died was her doing, and it was also her fault to blame the palace for Chu Peiyuan's death, even so, the emperor just kept silent. The Queen Mother, the Palace, and the Young General of the Chu Family failed to stop her from returning to the emperor and becoming a favorite concubine, a Concubine Min and a noble concubine, do you think it is possible? ”
Lei Zhen's eyes were slightly hot, she really didn't know the reason for this. The people in the palace were silent about these things before, thinking that the emperor had issued a strict decree. And the right-hand men around her, who suffered with her, did not know these things. The people who can be used outside the palace now will not know about the things in the palace, she is really kept in the dark. "What a favorite concubine with means, it's really a concubine who underestimates her."
"If it is so easy to get rid of her, why should this palace go to the trouble of saving you from the fire pit." Cen Mu pursed her lips and smiled.
"The queen confesses." Lei Zhen couldn't help but tremble. "Therefore, the concubine will do her best for her own sake."
"It's for this palace, and it's also for yourself." Cen Muning frowned and said, "But this palace must say ugly things to the front." If the matter is revealed, this palace may not be able to save you. Maybe even he is a mud bodhisattva crossing the river. Be cautious in all things. ”
"Yes." Lei Zhen saluted the queen: "The hour is not early, and the concubine will retire." ”
She was very uneasy, and her brow was furrowed as she left.
Cen Muning waited for a while before Bingling came in and said that the scriptures had been burned. "Let's go back to the palace."
Along the way, they once again passed through the Imperial Garden. At this time, there were many concubines in the imperial garden.
Some just say hello and stay away.
Some of them chattered around her, saying something they didn't.
Cen Muning didn't care at all, just admired the flowers of different shapes in front of her.
It wasn't until Ming Qing came panting that this situation was broken.
"The Queen's Mother...... Qi Yu Niangniang...... Concubine Mao has woken up, you should hurry up and go to the Moon Birch Palace. ”
"Concubine Mao woke up?" Cen Mu Ning showed a happy look: "It's okay, this palace will go and see her." ”
This good news exploded in the palace in an instant. Everyone is talking about this noble concubine, who is really fateful. Of course, the news also naturally spread to Weiyang Palace.
Jingqiao came in with a pot of fragrant soup and prepared to bathe the feet of the concubine. It's just that because of this, the water spilled out, and she didn't even notice it.
Cang Lian looked at her with a strange expression, and couldn't help frowning: "What's wrong?" Look at your soulless look. ”
Hearing her speak, Jing Qiao realized that he was sleeping on the ground, and hurriedly stepped forward and put the basin down. The slave heard the guards outside muttering, so she leaned over through the palace gate and listened to a few words. It seems that Concubine Mao has woken up. ”
"What?" Cang Lian couldn't help but be surprised: "She's awake?" ”
"Yes." Jingqiao also nodded: "The triple building of Changyin Pavilion is so high, and Concubine Mao doesn't know kung fu, so the fall was not light, thinking that the past few days have passed." I didn't expect to wake up. ”
"When?" Pity can't help but be worried.
"It's just Fangcai." Jingqiao thought for a moment: "I haven't heard any movement before." Maybe just woke up. ”
"Oh." Cang Lian didn't say anything more, and sat down on the edge of the bed: "Is the water temperature right?" ”
"Yes." Jing Qiao took off her shoes and socks for her, and gently put her feet into the basin one by one.
It was late at night, and there was some rustling in the otherwise quiet room. The people outside the door were silent, only hiding in an inconspicuous corner under the porch, quietly observing everything.
After a while, there was the sound of a window being pushed open, and it was the back window leading to the backyard.
The watchman still didn't move, and she quietly followed after a long time when there was no sound in the room.
In the Moon Birch Palace, only two maids stayed outside the door. One added some firewood to the stove from time to time, and the other gently shook it with a small fan.
"I said that you should fan the fire, why do you just fan yourself. When will the medicine be boiled well? ”
"Whatever." The little girl said angrily: "The noble concubine has fallen asleep after taking the medicine, and she will only use this bowl of medicine tomorrow morning, so why is she in a hurry." On such a hot day, I'm dying of heat guarding the medicine furnace, what's wrong with fanning myself for a while? ”
"You be quiet, if you wake up the mother, see how you explain."
"I'm annoyed, you fan yourself." The girl was angry and threw the fan in her hand to another: "I'm tired and sleeping." Don't call me if you have something. ”
"Alas, you......" The girl who took the fan sighed helplessly, and fanned the fire seriously.
At this moment, the black shadow stunned the maid with the stone in his hand, and looked around to find that there was no suspicion, so he slowly pushed open the door and walked in step by step.
In a moment's effort, the huge Moon Birch Hall suddenly lit up. Dozens of torches seemed to fall from the sky, and they couldn't wait to pour into the inner room of Mao Guifei.
The people in the room stood awkwardly on the edge of the bed, looking through their fingers at the person who suddenly broke in. And the black cloth covered her mouth and nose, and her hands covered her eyes, and the people who came in could not see her face clearly.
Until Qingli walked in, he shouted angrily: "What are you still doing in a daze? Let's see if Concubine Mao can be in the way, and then see who is bold enough to dare to poison Concubine Mao. ”
"Don't come here." The masked woman was a little panicked: "Things are not what you think...... Stay back! ”
