With a cold face, the queen allowed Xiao Wangshu to accompany Concubine Min Xian here, and I followed her and Wang Gushan to take the first step and sit on the chariot.

The night was dark, and there was no light in the night. Only the glittering candles held in the hands of the eunuchs and palace maids in front of them emitted a little red light, flickering strangely, and occasionally crackling, as if shouting for the desire to burn the prairie and break free from this shackle.

Supported by the end of the song, I followed the queen's side, and for the first time entered the palace of Xianglu, which was inextricably linked with my life. Different from other palaces in the harem of Zhongshu, the walls of the palace wall of the palace are made of bluestone. The place where it is located is the steep terrain, in which the palace rooms are built up and down, according to the mountains and waters, row upon row, and there are walls surrounding several palace rooms. Yaoguang Tower, Flying Frost Palace, Pink Plum Altar, Yichun Pavilion, all kinds of palace buildings are distributed in the meantime, even in the night, even in early spring, you can imagine the scenery of Revlon in the spring breeze. The eyes are full of flowers, the faces are blurred, and they are extraordinarily enchanting.

In the main hall of Zhaoyang Palace, there are iron pear wood carved backrest rose chairs in the main position, and several yellow pear circle chairs are placed on both sides of the lower head. In the west side hall, a chaise longue can be faintly seen.

The queen sat on the throne, and Wang Gushan and I sat opposite each other in the hall. The palace people lit all the candles, and Wang Gushan chuckled: "Sleepy in the middle of the night, it is inevitable that the queen mother and the emperor Yijing are tired, it is better to serve tea." ”

"Yaomei." Wang Gushan raised his voice, "Go and soak in the clouds and mist of Lushan Mountain, which was newly given to the palace a few days ago." ”

There is no mystery in this statement at first glance, but after thinking about it, I know that Wang Gushan is warning the queen and me, don't want to bully Wang Ren because of her repeated defeats, and Xiao Xuan still treats her as before.

The queen's expression was waveless, and Banxia stood aside and raised her eyebrows. At the end of the song, he silently leaned closer to me and put his hands in his arms.

After a while, Yaomei led a little palace maid into the palace. There were three teas on the tray in the hands of the palace maid, and Rao seemed to have a white mist in the hazy candlelight.

Wang Gushan and the queen's superficial kung fu has always been perfect. Yaomei went straight to the queen's throne, and the palace maid followed her to the right half a step behind. I sat on the left, and when Yao Mei Fang passed in front of me, Qu Zhong let out a low exclamation and turned to me: "Why is the hem of the Changdi Ji's skirt a little dirty?" ”

When she spoke, the eyes of the queen and Wang Gushan were cast for a moment, and when they saw the fuss at the end of the song, they quickly withdrew their eyes. I lifted my left foot slightly, and Qu Zhong quickly grabbed the hem of the Yaomei Palace's suit, and I coughed softly, just as I was hiding the sound of the fabric tearing.

Yaomei didn't realize it, took two steps forward, stood still in front of the queen, leaned over and picked up a cloud mist of Lushan, and said, "The queen mother, please use tea." "Bow down.

In a moment, Yaomei bounced forward as if she had been stabbed by something, and when she stumbled and fell, the hot tea in her hand didn't have time to stabilize, and she spilled it all on the queen. In the darkness, the queen couldn't guard against it, and she didn't miss a drop to complete.

"Oops!"

Under the two miserable screams, I and the end of the song, the stars of Banxia hugged the queen's side like the moon, Yaomei was embarrassed on the ground and no one cared, and Wang Gushan was stunned and motionless.

"Is the queen mother okay?" I was anxious: "This tea is hot, and the spring clothes are light, if you are burned......

"The queen forgives her sins!" I was so shocked that I couldn't help kowtowing, and Yaomei said weakly: "The slave's foot was stabbed by something, and the pain was unbearable for a while, so he collided with the queen." I hope that the queen will spare her life! ”

I was on one side with Banxia and helped the queen to get up. Wang Gushan finally stood up, and was about to speak, but was preempted by the end of the song: "Queen Mother, Concubine Niangniang, Yijing Changdi Ji." There seems to be blood behind Yaomei's feet. ”

Thinking about it, Wang Gushan wanted to say that Yaomei had no intention, but because of the discovery of the end of the song, he didn't say much. Whether it is a broken foot or a stumbling block, there is no possibility of bleeding from the back of your foot. In Wang Gushan's probing gaze, I said worriedly: "Regardless of the cause and effect, let's call the medical officer to take a look at the queen first." Banxia, you go back to Yongning Palace to change clothes for the queen. As for the ...... of Yaomei"

I turned to Wang Gushan for advice: "The noble concubine Niangniang thinks that it is okay for the fate song to inspect Yaomei's injury with the palace maid who came up with the tea?" ”

“…… Nature. It is difficult for Emperor Ji of Yijing to be thoughtful. Lukewarm, Wang Gushan gradually understood, and her eyes flashed. I just didn't realize it, and helped the queen to the inner hall with Wang Gushan, and Yaomei retreated with the palace maid at the end of the song.

After the medical officer rushed to the Xianglu Palace, Banxia returned from the Yongning Palace, and carefully and properly treated the queen's injuries - no major problems - after the sky was already hazy. Banxia and I went back to the outer hall by the queen's side, Wang Gushan sat down calmly first, and it didn't take long for the song to end and return to Yaomei.

knelt side by side, kowtowed first at the end of the song, and Deen Zhun got up and said to the three of us: "Queen Niangniang, Guifei Niangniang, Yijing Chang Emperor Ji." Yaomei's feet were cut with sharp objects on the back of her feet, and the wounds were quite deep. After careful inspection by the slave and maid, it was caused by the silk. ”

"Celestial silk?" The queen smiled quite vaguely, glanced at Wang Gushan as if she didn't care, and raised her chin lightly: "You go on." ”

"Yes." At the end of the song, he bowed his head: "The slave knows that the matter is very important, and she does not dare to make a conclusion." Then he went to the military battle bureau to confirm it again. Then the slave and maid returned to the outer hall of the palace. Even if the ground has been cleared, blood stains can still be seen in the crevices. The slave and maid groped the corners and corners together with the guards of the palace, but they found nothing. ”

"At this time, Wang Shu is settling down with his mother and coming to Xianglu Palace." The footsteps outside the door were getting closer, Xiao Wangshu approached quickly, and after giving a salute, he approached the queen: "I didn't recognize the end of the song, but Wangshu could recognize it at a glance." The fabric used at the hem of the skirt is clearly the same as the fabric of the neckline of the concubine! When the people of the Needlework Bureau were ordered to inspect again, the grandmother of the Needlework Bureau was scratched, and it was discovered that the silk was hidden at the edge of the skirt corner of Yaomei that day! ”

As soon as Xiao Wangshu's voice fell, someone from the Acupuncture Bureau entered, holding the bloody clothes that Yaomei had changed. The queen snorted coldly, and was about to speak, but Yaomei couldn't stop kowtowing, her fists on the ground, as if she was trembling: "Queen Mother!" The slave maid really doesn't know why the silk appears here! The queen mother was injured by the slave maid, which is a big crime for the slave and the maid, and the slave and maid are willing to take responsibility, and only ask the queen to spare it! ”

"If this palace is not mistaken, the requirements for palace attire in the palace are the most stringent in the palace. In the past, the palace also heard Wang Guifei mention that each palace costume would be checked by Yaomei himself one by one. What's more, silk is extraordinary. Tell me for yourself, if the silk was put in by the Needlework Bureau, how did you find out at that time?! If someone does something later, who can hide it from the eyes of the upper and lower eyes of the Xianglu Palace?! ”

"Queen Mother!" Before the queen's words fell, Wang Gushan had already coldly intercepted the words: "The concubine knows that the queen's mother was splashed with tea for no reason, and she is not happy in her heart. This matter will not be indulged in Yaomei. But in the case of Tian Silk, Yaomei is also a victim. How could the queen mother speak arbitrarily, as if she confirmed that Yaomei was the one who harmed Concubine Min Xian? The queen wants to find out the real culprit, and with the harem atmosphere, the concubine is naturally accompanied. But if the queen doesn't ask whether it's right or wrong, she frames her out of thin air - the concubine will not obey! ”

"If you really beat the dog, it depends on the owner." The queen raised her eyebrows and sneered, and then looked cold: "Then please ask Wang Guifei to give the palace a reasonable explanation." Originally, the palace was full of traces of silk and could not find it, but this time he stepped on the iron shoes and found nowhere to find it, and found it on Yaomei, the palace maid in charge of the Xianglu Palace. The clothes are the most close-fitting, and Yaomei actually has sharp weapons on her body without knowing it. Since the palace saw Yaomei in the cold palace, she has never changed her palace clothes, except for the order of Wang Guifei to make tea, she has not left the palace's sight for a second. If Yaomei really didn't know about the existence of the Heavenly Silk, then the time for his clothes to be attached to the Heavenly Silk could only be when making tea. No matter how much the palace thinks about it, it is inseparable from the palace of Shanglu. ”

"Queen Niang, Guifei Niangniang." The palace maid of the Needlework Bureau fell to the ground, her voice trembling: "This matter really has nothing to do with the Needlework Bureau." The slave and maid inspected the edges of Miss Yaomei's palace dress, which were all made of fine stitching and stitching, but there were obvious traces of needles on the skirt, and the materials were different from other places. And as the queen said, the silk is luxurious and rare, and the needlework bureau can not say that it can be touched, and there are probably not many people who have seen it. Ask the queen mother, the concubine mother! ”

"Queen Mother!" Xiao Wangshu knelt down and burst into tears: "The material at the collar of the concubine's dress is the same as the fabric of the corner of the skirt of Yaomei. If it is about the order of respect and inferiority, such a thing must never happen. This is obviously someone deliberately mocking the mother concubine, and she is not as good as a slave! ”

Continuing very quickly, Xiao Wangshu rushed to mourn before Yaomei spoke: "It's not a day since Yaomei has been disrespectful. Did the queen mother know that Emperor Yi Jingchang had prepared three copies of the same topaz hosta, one for the queen mother, one for Wangshu, and the remaining one for the Xianglu Palace, but I don't know what the trick is, it was actually worn by Yaomei. Wangshu is just right, he has always been slaughtered and bullied. But the slave and maid dared to go beyond the bounds of this, wearing the same jewelry as the queen's mother, and even humiliated Emperor Yijing with wild words - Wangshu is really cold! ”

"Wangshu Emperor Ji can not spew blood, that hosta is obviously the end of the song......"

"Yi Jing's fate song finally sent the topaz hosta to the Xianglu Palace...... The concubine doesn't seem to know? As if I hadn't heard Yaomei deny it, I interrupted repeatedly, drawing everyone's attention.

I looked at Wang Gushan's embarrassed expression, and explained suspiciously: "That hosta is made of Hetian topaz. In the "Treatise on Jade", the color of jade is 'red like a cockscomb, yellow like steamed chestnuts, white like fat, ink like pure lacquer, called the jade charm. And Qingyu has nothing to say. Today there are always those who are blue and white, and those who are black are sometimes black, and there are none of those who are yellow and red.' Although it is not a heavy gift, this Hetian topaz is quite rare. Yi Jing thought that it would not be rude to give such gifts to Niangniang and the emperor, but she had never seen the concubine wear it...... It turned out to be ......"
