Chapter 52: Fight of Wisdom
"Yo, how did this aunt get in? Scared me. Cen Muning stiffened her face at that time.
"It's all the slave's fault, and I ask the princess to forgive me." Xin Wei came in hurriedly: "Aunt Qin is the old friend of the slave maid, and she originally came to catch up with the slave maid. Who knows how to break in......"
Qingli followed behind her, looking unhappy. But because of Cen Muning's face, she didn't speak.
Aunt Qin smiled and saluted Cen Muning. "The princess forgives her sins. The Queen Mother knew that Princess Kechun was not in good health. There was some negligence, so he deliberately ordered the slave maid to come to the palace to pick up the princess back to the palace. The slave maid was also worried about the princess's body, so she would recklessly break in. ”
"The Queen Mother loves her daughter very much, and she should be." Cen Muning saw that she didn't apologize at all, and deliberately said so.
Sure enough, a hint of smugness flashed in Aunt Qin's eyes. "It is very good that the princess can understand the suffering of the slave and maid. Princess, let's go. ”
A trace of compassion flashed in Princess Kechun's eyes, that is, she knew that her life was short. "The Princess's tea is excellent, thank you for your hospitality."
When she got up, she smiled reluctantly. "I just don't know if I'll have a chance to drink it in the future."
"Naturally, there is." Cen Muning hooked her lips slightly. "Don't worry."
"Princess, let's go." Aunt Qin had to urge.
"Green plow." Cen Mooning sighed: "It is said that Aunt Qin also obeyed the order of the Queen Mother and entered the palace to bring Princess Kechun back to the palace. Are the rules accommodating? ”
As soon as Qingli heard this, he immediately understood. "If you go back to the princess, the rules of the palace are set by His Royal Highness King Ruiming. Whoever violates the rules is guilty of unforgivable sins. ”
Aunt Qin's body shook, and her face couldn't help but be a little pale. King Ruiming's methods, why don't she know. "When the princess said this, did she want to ignore the queen mother's decree? The slave maid also explained repeatedly, and it was the queen mother's intention to take Princess Kechun back to the palace. ”
"Nature." Cen Mu nodded slightly: "It's just that I'm a little curious, did the Queen Mother order you to break into the middle courtyard of this princess?" If you know what you want, will this princess not let you take the princess away? Why do you have to take advantage of Xinwei and trespass into the hall without permission? This makes it difficult for this princess to do. If you go like this, His Royal Highness King Ruiming will be investigated, isn't it that I, who is ignorant as a wife, has blatantly broken the rules of the palace. In the future, when I discipline those servants in the house, how will they obey me? But if I don't indulge you, the Queen Mother will ......"
"Princess." Qingli said respectfully: "The Queen Mother has always valued our Royal Highness, and once promised not to appoint people in the palace to interfere in the internal affairs of the palace. All the things in the palace, the master can be the master alone, and there is no need to explain to the queen mother. ”
"So it's good." Cen Muning couldn't help but hook her lips: "The tiger in the house, can you feed it today?" ”
"Princess, what are you going to do here?" Aunt Qin's face turned blue with fright, and she shrank back vigorously: "The slave and maid are also ordered to do things, if there is anything missing, please bear with me." You can't just take the life of a slave, can you? The Queen Mother, how do you explain it? ”
"The concubine will go to the queen mother to ask for guilt." Cen Mu Ning Rao sighed: "Who let the palace have the rules of the palace." ”
As soon as her words fell, Qingli's eyes were quick, and she knocked Aunt Qin unconscious at once. Immediately two chamberlains were summoned. "Drag it to feed the tigers. Remember, splash her up in the cage. Otherwise, the tiger would have thought it was dead food. ”
"Don't." Princess Ke Chun shook her head again and again: "The princess's kindness, Ke Chun's heart." But you have angered the Queen Mother several times, and the Queen Mother has been my mother for so many years, how can I not know her heart. If there is any more collision, she will definitely give a killing order, and she will never let you go. Although this Aunt Qin hates it, she is her confidant after all. How about that? ”
"If I'm not mistaken, you're not sick at all." Cen Mu frowned, and there was a slight anger in his eyes: "The Queen Mother used poison on you." ”
"How do you know ......" Princess Ke Chun couldn't help but be a little surprised.
Cen Mu Ning smiled coldly: "I was born with a very keen sense of smell. Whether it's the first time I see you, or the time I meet you in the princess's mansion, you don't have this kind of medicine in your body at this time. It's not left over from the medication, it's slowly coming out of your skin. Only people who are toxic in their bodies will be like this. ”
"The Queen Mother is so vicious, how can she attack her daughter." Qingli came late, and he didn't know that Princess Kechun was not from the Queen Mother. I just think it's incredible.
"So be it." Cen Muning frowned: "His Royal Highness is not in the mansion at this time. You take Aunt Qin down and take good care of her, don't let her make a mess. Wait for His Highness to come back and make arrangements. As soon as he said to the palace servants waiting outside, he said that Princess Kechun was not feeling well, and Aunt Qin was taking care of her in the room. ”
"Yes." Qing Li nodded and summoned two people to carry Aunt Qin down.
At this time, Princess Kechun's face was already full of tears. "I didn't expect that the princess was not only the one who knew me best, but also as careful as dust, knowing that I was so devastated by the Queen Mother."
"It's just that you saw my mother that day, and the Queen Mother doesn't know. But why is she so jealous of you coming to me? Cen Muning can infer the anxiety of the Queen Mother from Aunt Qin's anxious appearance.
"She must have been afraid that I would expose her viciousness over the years. I'm even more afraid that this evidence will fall into your hands. Because behind you is my ninth brother. When his father established the prince, the only thing he valued most was the ninth brother and the current emperor. It's a pity that Lao Jiu is a concubine after all, but the emperor is a concubine. The Queen Mother's family had already been convicted at that time, and in order to preserve her posteriority, she must have colluded with all forces to pave the way for her son. I, who is a daughter, have seen everything that should be seen and what should not be seen. Even today's forehead is also her choice. Princess Kechun closed her eyes, and the past came to her mind one by one. The princess's kindness, I can only report it in the future. If you don't leave, it will inevitably affect you. ”
"It's leaving." Cen Muning has already paid attention: "But you can't go back to the palace, let alone the princess's mansion." ”
"Then I'......" A glimmer of light flashed in Princess Kechun's eyes, but it turned to disappear. Since I was a child, I have lived under the nose of the Queen Mother. After leaving the palace, he entered the princess's mansion. I really don't know where else to go other than these two places......"
"Do you want to live?" Cen Mooning asked. "If the heart is like ashes, everywhere is doomed. But if you still want to live, then you must be prepared to endure hardships. ”
Princess Ke Chun looked at Cen Muning's eyes and thought for a long time: "I want to live." I have to watch the culprits who killed my mother, my children, and my sweetheart die, so that I will not waste all the hardships I have endured in this life. ”
"That's good." Cen Muning hooked her lips slightly: "You go to Ciyun Nunnery to recuperate." Tell the person you can trust the most to enter the palace and tell the emperor. Even if you have a good plan, you must recuperate in a place where you are outstanding in order to recover. ”
"It's as simple as that?" Princess Ke Chun couldn't believe it.
"Nature is not that simple." Cen Muning held her hand, pulled out the hairpin on her head, and cut her fingers.
Princess Kechun frowned as she watched as she pinched her fingers so hard that the blood fell on a clean silk. "Then bring this silk into the palace and hand it over to the emperor. Remember, this person must be the person you think is the most reliable. ”
"Okay." Princess Ke Chun nodded neatly and handed the silk to the maid beside her. "It's all up to you."
"Qingli, take her through the back door and give her a horse with a fast tutorial." Cen Muning was a little worried: "It's best to have someone escort her into the palace." ”
"Yes. Princess. Qingli agreed neatly.
The two men exited the chamber together.
"I'll have someone send you to Tzu Yun Nunnery right away, but there is one thing, you have to be cautious." Cen Mooning leaned close to her ear and told her the trick. "Thank you." Princess Ke Chun was excited: "If it happens, I will definitely help you find out what happened back then." ”
"Hmm." Cen Muning nodded slightly: "Without further ado, the princess can leave for Ciyun Nunnery." ”
When Zhuang Chenchen returned home, the sky was already dark. Outside the gate of the palace, a carriage was particularly conspicuous, and he immediately recognized it as a car in the palace.
"Yin Li, you go and ask what's going on?"
"Yes, master." Yin Li did things neatly, and soon came back to resume his life.
Zhuang Chenchen went straight to the middle courtyard.
Before I walked into the courtyard gate, the special fragrance wafted out.
"Wow, it smells so good! Princess, your craftsmanship is too good. For the first time, the slave knew that the pheasant fed to the snake could be roasted so fragrantly. Qing Li's eyes straightened: "It's much better than the imperial kitchen in the house." ”
"It's not yet the season when the lotus leaves are luxuriant, otherwise wrap it in lotus leaves, and then roast it like this, it will be more fragrant." Cen Mu Ning cut a piece of excellent meat and threw it into her mouth. "Taste it, how does it taste."
"It's delicious." Qingli said while eating, a little slurred. "The meat is very tender, and it tastes delicious, and the princess's craftsmanship is really good."
"Uh-huh." Yin Li coughed lightly.
A few people who were busy turned their faces around at this time.
"Your Highness is here."
"Say hello to my master."
Zhuang Xianchen frowned and walked over, and saw Cen Muning's face sticking to carbon ash, rubbing like a little cat. actually pinched her face subconsciously.
This move made Qing Li and Yin Li look at each other in surprise, and no one dared to say anything.
"Your Highness is just right. The concubine's chicken has just been made, so you can taste it. Cen Mu Ning turned around and cut a piece, and happily stuffed it into Zhuang Chen's mouth.
Qing Li and Yin Li were frightened again, and the two of them shrank aside tremblingly.
What's even more strange is that Zhuang Chenchen actually ate it.
"How? Isn't it not bad? Cen Muning grabbed a quick silk to wipe his hands clean, and pulled his sleeve: "I prepared a lot of delicacies and side dishes tonight, and asked Qingli to carry a jar of wine that His Highness likes." Your Highness is tired after a few busy days, so eat and drink and relax. ”
Zhuang Chenchen reached out and picked up the silk she had just wiped her hands on, frowned and said, "It was your idea to let people send the silk stained with poisonous blood into the palace, right?" ”
