Chapter 15: Guns and Arrows (3)

"The queen is angry!" I hurriedly got up and stood up beside Lan Tang, "Although Lan Tang is guilty, it is not an unforgivable mortal sin. And if this matter really has to be discussed carefully, Lingyue herself is also responsible. Now that the real culprit has been self-defeated, Lingyue has not suffered any losses, and the top priority should be to save the concubine. Please also ask the queen's subordinates to be merciful. ”

In fact, why do you need me to intercede, the queen would not really take Lan Tang; But in such a situation, she also expected that I would speak out and persuade her, so that she would be more emboldened and able to speak to a deeper level.

Lan Tang begged for death, the queen gave death, and my queen pardoned death, and the face turned around, showing the guilt, righteousness, and deep love for the master and servant, but in fact, what the result is, the three of us have already seen it.

After my repeated pleading, Lan Tang and the others were fined for a month's money, and the guards of Lin Feng Hall each played some boards, and Concubine Shu was treated with all her heart by the imperial doctor, and this page was barely turned over. However, I still have some nostalgia in my heart. At the end of the song, I thought I was worried about Concubine Shu's illness and comforted me, so I nodded first and shook my head: "Concubine Shu's status is special, and the emperor and queen will definitely do their best to treat it, I'm not too worried." It's just a willingness, and it's really scary for me. ”

Turning my head to look at the end of the song, I was a little weak and tired: "In the huge night harem, there are only a few people I remember, and these people still need to be polite to me on the surface." Because of this, I was a little slack, forgetting the truth that open guns are easy to dodge and dark arrows are difficult to prevent. ”

"Nagan Sui said that he had been sweeping the floor in the backyard, and he did choose an unobtrusive errand, and he came for a short time, but in fact, I didn't find out. Today, it was Lan Tang who noticed it first, and told me to delay the time, and she confirmed it. ”

I was going to comfort me, but Qu finally said that he was embarrassed, and he was a little angry when he thought about it: "It's just that he didn't say who was the employer behind him until he died, but he said a bunch of nonsense, I really don't know what he was doing with his last breath." ”

"That's not nonsense, don't you hear it, his last sentence is to clear my suspicion." I couldn't help but frown at the mention of this, "That's what I think is the most strange." ”

"Clear the suspicion of Emperor Ji?" Qu was puzzled, "Didn't he already admit that he killed Erbao?" ”

"He said this, but it had nothing to do with Concubine Shu's poisoning. If he doesn't say it, my suspicion will remain. I explained, "He said that he bit his tongue after killing Erbao, but as you said, he insisted on his last breath and said that he had poisoned the poison and that he had brought the yellow medicine, just like ......."

As I talked, I felt that things were even more strange, "It's like I'm completing a task, I have to say it......"

Recall the details carefully - when Huang Yaozi was first found, the queen was not a little surprised by Lan Tang's denial of knowledge; After that, he pushed the boat down the river and called everyone over, and Gan Sui was among them; At first, Gan Sui said that I ordered him to get Huang Yaozi a few days ago, but after Qu finally refuted it, he changed his words and said that it was half a month ago, and I was seeing Concubine Shu at that time; The "porcelain vase" in the mouth at the end of the song, if you are cautious, you can realize that it must be a trap, and Gan Sui, who has the ability to hide people's eyes and ears and stay in Lin Feng Hall for these days, is easily fooled; As soon as there was a mistake in Gansui, the little palace maid immediately said that he had only been here for less than ten days, so what Gan Sui said earlier that I asked him to ask for Huang Yaozi half a month ago was not valid; After committing suicide, although I did not scream, I also subconsciously wanted to cover my mouth with my hands, but the queen seemed to only frown, which was quite strange; In the end, I was willing to admit the crime, and I had no more to do with it.

Gansui's last move doesn't seem like harming me, but like protecting me. In this way, it seems that the person who instructed Gan Sui to do so seemed to be intent on me to be in danger, and how the situation would develop was under his control. Such a method is very similar to Zong Zhengxu, but he probably doesn't know about it. Could that be......

Vaguely in my mind, I seem to know who it is, but there is always a mass of threads cut and unsorted and chaotic in front, which cannot be sorted out, and the truth cannot be sought. At the end of the song, I was afraid of disturbing my train of thought, but I was silent, and even my breathing was extremely shallow. There was a sound of pins falling in the room, and I was concentrating on it, but the door was suddenly pushed open, which startled me. But it was Lan Tang, his breathing was slightly chaotic, and he immediately closed the door after entering the house, took a few steps forward, and whispered softly:

"Emperor, the slave maid just found out, the lady concubine is in good health and has not been poisoned."

"Are you sure?" The end of the song is by my side"Huh? I was also incredulous, and Lan Tang's tone was firm: "Yes, it's absolutely true." And the slave and the maid remembered something. Yesterday, the emperor came out of the Snow Calyx Palace, but said that the palace maid said that they were preparing a birthday gift for the Fanjin Emperor? ”

"Yes, she said that it will be Fanjin's birthday in a few days." I nodded, Lan Tang looked like "it's really so", and his eyes were ashamed: "It's Lan Tang who didn't react at the time." Emperor Fanjin was born in Layue, and the palace maid was lying. ”

As if I had found a breakthrough in the matter, I got up and paced around the room: "Now that I think about yesterday, I do have a lot of doubts. There are no guards at the palace gate, so we can keep walking into the main hall without meeting anyone. Although the palace maid was rummaging through the items, she should also know that it was a big sin to be unkempt in front of the master. What's more, if you want to find a real concubine's makeup, it must be stored properly and carefully, and you will never need to rummage through the cabinet and find it. ”

Sighing and shaking my head, I turned around and looked at Qu Zhong and Lan Tang: "We've been tricked." Someone deliberately wanted us to drive straight into the Snow Calyx Palace. ”

"Who could that be?" Qu Zhong and Lan Tang glanced at each other, I didn't answer, I asked Lan Tang first: "Lan Tang, has the queen looked for you recently?" ”

Lan Tang was a little surprised, and quickly replied, "Yes." I found it this morning, and it was the queen who told me that Concubine Shu was grounded. And, she told me," a look of understanding appeared on her face, "something might happen today, and if she asked, I would just answer truthfully." It's just that in the morning, Lan Tang didn't have time to tell the emperor about this layer, and the emperor had asked the emperor to go to Changle Palace. ”

"I see." Smiling lightly, my doubts disappeared, and my mood finally eased slightly. "I really responded to the sentence 'born in sorrow and died in peace', and I have been used to being comfortable recently, and I have to be reminded that this is in the night, warning me not to forget who is the lord of the night."

"What does the emperor mean...... This is what the emperor did? Lan Tang was surprised when he understood the end of the song. I smiled, "Not bad." I only said that the son of the sect had no last resort, but I ignored that those who can be the masters of a country will not be people who are careless and shallow. ”

The night harem is so big, it's not just the Forest Wind Palace and the Snow Calyx Palace. I'm afraid that when I went to look for Concubine Shu half a month ago, I was seen and told Meng Deng. Even if the speaker has no intention, the listener must also pay attention, the two old Lianghong people are together, if it is said that they feel nostalgic for the past together, but it is when Fanjin proposes to marry Zong Zhengxu. Probably I was waiting for news from Concubine Shu, Meng Deng was waiting for me to go to find Concubine Shu again, maybe I lost patience to go out first, so he called Concubine Shu while I was on the way, removed the guards of the Snow Calyx Palace, and taught the palace maid how to speak.

However, no matter how dissatisfied Meng Deng was in his heart, he couldn't move me, and he could only make me suffer for the time being, so as to warn me angrily. Therefore, the queen will order Lan Tang to help me, and Gan Sui will clear my grievances. As for Gan Sui himself, the little palace maid, and maybe even the "two treasures", they are all necessary roles in this incident.

The best thing about this plan is that I don't know the truth, because I found out Gan Sui hidden in the Lin Feng Palace, I can no longer pursue Meng Deng and the queen's search for the palace.

The room was silent, and no one spoke for a while, but Lan Tang broke the silence: "Emperor Ji rest assured, it was indeed Erbao who swept the floor in the backyard, I asked other people today, and the same statement as the palace maid, but I can't remember the time." That palace maid and I will pay more attention to the end of the song. ”

I nodded, it's okay, not everyone in the palace is the queen's person, it's just that the two treasures are pitiful, and they have become victims in vain.

"There's one more thing Lan Tang thinks he should tell the emperor." I sat down and removed the ornaments from my head, and went to prepare the toiletries, leaving the two of us alone. Motioning to her for me to comb my own hair, I picked up the comb and listened to Lan Tang say: "Jiang You told the slave maid today that when Concubine Shu Niangniang talked to the emperor yesterday, he was waiting outside and there was nothing unusual. It was Emperor Fanjin who went in later, and after that, the emperor got angry and punished Concubine Niangniang and Emperor Fanjin for thinking about it behind closed doors. ”

I paused and looked at her in the mirror. Lan Tang didn't understand it, and was stunned and asked what's wrong, I retracted my gaze and shook my head, and said while continuing to comb my hair: "Then it should be Fanjin who angered the emperor, and Concubine Shu helped her speak, so she was punished." "In my heart, I thought that Zongzheng's father and son really had hands and eyes, and even the big eunuchs around Meng Deng were their people, and this Pan Night Emperor was probably just a false name in them.

After a few more words with Lan Tang, I stopped talking when I came back from the song, and I just felt that I was really tired today, so I went to bed early.

After that, I rarely even stepped out of the palace gate for half a month, but on the day of my birthday, the queen held a banquet for me in the Yuan, and Concubine Shu and Fanjin also took this opportunity to lift the ban on leaving the palace. I really took a closer look at Fanjin, and sure enough, I was playful and delicate, and I glared back unconvinced when I saw her.

Unconsciously laughing, seeing her face flushed, she knew that she probably thought I was laughing, and was about to go to toast to Concubine Shu, but Lan Tang whispered behind him: "Emperor, His Royal Highness the Third Prince invites you to the Yiliu Pond, and I have something I want to say to you alone." ”
