Chapter 420: Visit Yunxiang Palace
When Rean Xue returned to Fengluan Palace, her eyes were always wet, but she was afraid of being seen by Chu Lixue, so she hurriedly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her sleeve.
"Remnant Xue, what? Ever cried? Chu Lixue said softly. Immediately, he handed the handkerchief in his sleeve to the remnant snow road.
"Mother, it's nothing, it's just a momentary feeling."
"A momentary feeling? What kind of thing can make our strong remnant snow girl cry? Chu Lixue smiled lightly.
"Niangniang, just now I saw Zheng Qing gnawing on the dry steamed buns that those eunuchs threw into the house, looking at her appearance, I remembered that when I was young with Wanyue, our hometown was swallowed up by floods, and my brother went to the restaurant and the back door of those big families every day to wait for picking up things that people didn't want to come back for us to eat, the most time, that is, my brother picked up more than a dozen steamed buns as hard as stones, although those days were bitter, but very happy, later, we met the old lord, it was the old lord who took us back and taught us martial arts, That's how I lived. ”
After listening to Rean Xue's narration, Chu Lixue's heart was deeply touched. Rean Xue is the same age as her, whether she was before or she is now, she has grown up under the care of her parents, and the two sisters Rean Xue and Wanyue are more like Aoshuang Flowers, independent in the wind.
"Remnant Xue, the past is in the past, as long as you grasp the future." Chu Lixue said lightly.
"Well, mother, slaves and maids understand. However, Niangniang, when she was in Yunxiang Palace just now, Zheng Qing was indeed a little different, and it didn't look like she was pretending. ”
"How?" Chu Lixue wondered.
"The slave has been observing since she woke up, and she saw that Zheng Qing had been staring at the painting on the wall in the northwest corner, and she always showed a very frightened expression."
"The painting on the wall in the northwest corner?" Chu Lixue was even more puzzled. It's just a painting, how can you still feel terrible when you see a painting? Could it be that there is something wrong with that painting? It stands to reason that the things in this palace are all selected by thousands of people, if Zheng Qing is crazy because of a painting, it is that the painting makes people move.
"Niangniang, did you find something?" Remnant Xue asked softly.
"It's still uncertain, but the furnishings in the Yunxiang Palace, since Concubine Rou hanged herself, has never been inhabited, Zheng Qing has no threat, Concubine De really can't do anything with the furnishings in the palace."
"Niangniang, do you mean that Concubine Rou was killed at the beginning, so the thing that harmed Concubine Rou is now harming Zheng Qing?" Remnant Xue said a little incredulously.
Since Concubine Rou suddenly hanged herself, has no one investigated the matter? And so many years have passed, so what about the harmful things in Yunxiang Palace?
"Maybe Concubine Rou was killed at the beginning, but now, someone should have used the object that killed Concubine Rou in the first place." Chu Lixue said softly.
Chu Lixue thought very clearly, the methods of the person who harmed Concubine Rou must have been very clever, but now the people who dealt with Zheng Qing at least discovered this secret and continued it.
"Remnant Xue, come with me to Yunxiang Palace in a while."
"That's not good, Niangniang, you're still pregnant, so much dust in Yunxiang Palace......"
"It's fine." Chu Lixue smiled lightly. After finishing speaking, he got up and tidied up his dress, and walked out.
Yunxiang Palace is located in the south of the entire palace, not only close to the imperial garden, but also close to the emperor's bedroom. It's just because of Concubine Rou's affair that a good palace has become an abandoned cold palace.
Chu Lixue's appearance made the little eunuchs who were napping outside the gate of Yunxiang Palace kneel on the ground in fright and tremble. "The slave sees the mother, the mother is blessed with Jin'an."
"Get up, how can you sleep here, Zheng Qing?"
"Back to Niangniang, Zheng Qing is in the house. Mother, you stay at your feet, and the slave will go to report. A little eunuch flattered,
The entire palace knew that Chu Lixue didn't have a good impression of this Zheng Qing, not to mention, in order to compete for favor, she framed Qi Meiren, but it was revealed that she was not chaste, not to mention those concubines, even these palace maids and eunuchs looked down on her.
"Zheng Qing, come out to greet the queen." The little eunuch gritted his teeth.
This Zheng Qing has already been deprived of her title and deposed in this cold palace, even her maiden family has fallen, but the queen wants to keep her life. The people who do things in the palace, which one does not rely on the master to ensure his status in the palace, but they are the ones who guard a rejected woman in this cold palace. Even these eunuchs couldn't raise their heads in front of the eunuchs in the other palaces.
Zheng Qing was slightly stunned when she heard that the queen mother arrived, she had been in this cold palace for a long time, and no one had ever come except for Concubine De who came to ridicule her from time to time.
And every day she passed the time by catching lice on herself, and this was when she was sober, and in those crazy times, she felt that the days were easy to pass.
"Zheng Qing sees the queen's mother, and the mother is auspicious." Zheng Qing saluted respectfully.
Chu Lixue looked at Zheng Qing who was kneeling on the ground, except for some ragged clothes, everything else was quite normal, and she also looked at the rich flowers on the wall in the northwest of Yan Xue's mouth, there was nothing special, so how did Zheng Qing become crazy?
Looking around, except for the wall of the painting, which is already a little moldy, everything else is not bad, after all, it was also the place where the emperor's favorite concubine once lived, and it must not be too bad. Since he didn't find anything, he immediately turned around and left Yunxiang Palace.
As soon as he turned around Yunxiang Palace, he heard the eunuch's respectful salute, "The slave has seen Concubine De Niangniang." ”
Concubine De? Why did she come here again, didn't she just come in the morning? Chu Lixue was puzzled in her heart, and immediately decided to quietly wait and see.
Remnant Xue hugged Chu Lixue, jumped on the roof lightly, and uncovered a roof tile, so that he could clearly see all the conditions in the house.
"Niangniang, isn't this too dangerous, or let's go down." Remnant Xue said softly.
"It's okay, I'll be careful, I'm just curious, didn't you say that Concubine De had already come in the morning? Why is it coming again at this time? ”
"I guess she's idle and bored, so I'm thinking of finding someone to vent." Remnant Xue said lightly.
According to the news that Rean Xue heard, this Concubine De only came to Yunxiang Palace every three or five days to find Zheng Qing's bad luck, but today is the second time she has come, could it be said that this Concubine De really has too many unpleasant things?
"Peng Yuewan, what are you doing?"
"What to do? Hehe, this palace is here to tell you a good news, do you know why the emperor has never killed you? ”
"Why?" Zheng Qing was also puzzled by this question, the emperor just cut her grandfather down, and also agreed that her family would continue to live in the current mansion, which can be described as a blessing. Before, she thought that the emperor had not long ascended the throne, and she didn't want to ruin her glorious image at this time.
"That's because the emperor remembered that your grandfather had made meritorious contributions to the society, so he kept your dog's life. So now ......"
"What do you mean?" Zheng Qing felt that something bad had happened. Zheng Qing looked at Peng Yuewan's face in horror, this familiar and unfamiliar face. This face, which she used to call a sister, is so ugly now.
"Just this morning your reliant grandfather suddenly vomited blood and died after eating breakfast." Peng Yuewan whispered in Zheng Qing's ear.
What the? Suddenly vomited blood and died in the morning while eating breakfast? What does that mean? Suddenly, Zheng Qing thought of something, although his grandfather was old, but his body was very good, how could he suddenly vomit blood and die while eating breakfast? Someone must have done something to his grandfather.
"Did you do it right, did you do it?" Zheng Qing grabbed Peng Yuewan's shoulders tightly and shook them vigorously.
"It's me, how's that? What qualifications do you have to fight against me now? Peng Yuewan raised her eyebrows and sneered.
"I'm going to kill you slut." After saying that, Zheng Qing pounced without any scruples, and strangled Peng Yuewan's neck with both hands. No matter how Xiaotong and Xiaoyu pulled, they couldn't break free from Zheng Qing's hands.
Peng Yuewan was also about to be pinched, and then pulled out the hairpin on her head and stabbed it Zheng Qing's arm, when the blood was pouring in, Zheng Qing's arm was in pain, and then let go of the hand that was choking Peng Yuewan's neck.
Peng Yuewan was helped up from the ground by Xiaotong and kicked Zheng Qing a few times, "Slut, do you want to strangle this palace?" Xiaotong and Xiaoyu, don't give me a good lesson to teach her. ”
"Yes, sissy." Immediately afterwards, Xiaotong and Xiaoyu punched and kicked Zheng Qing. Zheng Qing herself is everyone's lady, how can she be able to compete with those palace maids who are used to doing rough work in the palace. It was only a cup of tea, and Zheng Qing's already ragged clothes had already been torn by the two palace maids, and it was even more unsightly.
"This Concubine De is really hidden, pretending to be harmless to humans and animals, who would have thought that she would be so vicious." Chu Lixue said softly.
"Niangniang, then we must be careful of this concubine in the future, in case she is a bad angel."
"Then don't worry, I'm relieved to have you here." Chu Lixue smiled lightly.
Hearing this, Rean Xue smiled lightly, they knew that the queen mother was very good to them and trusted them, but wouldn't it be better to prevent problems before they happened? This Concubine De is so insidious, she dares to poison others openly, it can be seen that her mind is vicious, if she doesn't think of a way to deal with her early, then she will be even worse.
Thinking of this, Rean Xue couldn't care about anything else, she had to strangle this danger in the cradle.
