Chapter 289: Recognition (Part 1)
Compared with Sun Baolin's Chengxiang Palace, which came and went like clouds, Mo Zhaorong's Lingyun Pavilion was really deserted, and the palace gate was closed early, or the palace maid patted the door for a while, and only then did someone open the palace door and look timidly.
Seeing that it was the queen of heaven, the palace maid's face changed drastically, and she hurriedly went in to spread the word and let the people in the palace take over.
Gu Mingzhu looked at the corridor that had grown moss, as well as the hall windows that were already a little mottled, and raised his eyebrows slightly, it seems that Mo Zhaorong has not had grace here for a long time, otherwise it would not be like this.
She had only seen Mo Zhaorong a few times, and she had seen her a few times at the New Year's Palace banquet when she was Princess Xian, but she also sat down and said that she was sick and retired, looking very weak.
Later, less than a year later, I heard that Mo Zhaorong was seriously ill and died, and Xiangxiaoyu died in the palace.
I don't know why this quiet Mo Zhaorong in this life has something to do with the secret fighting in the palace.
When Mo Zhaorong was helped to the queen of heaven and the others, Gu Mingzhu was still frightened.
Without the complicated and gorgeous palace costumes, Mo Zhaorong's appearance is really terrifying, her skin is white and blue, and she is so thin that she can almost see the bone joints, but this still can't change her original handsome appearance.
Handsome eyebrows and eyes, with extraordinary demeanor, she has a Western-style handsomeness that is different from the coquettishness of the women in the inner palace, which is really impressive.
She walked a little difficult to the queen of heaven and bowed: "The concubine has seen Niangniang." ”
The queen of heaven looked at her with a complicated expression on her face, and instructed Xu Siyan: "Help Zhaorong up, you don't need to be polite if you are not in good health." ”
Mo Zhaorong didn't shirk it, and let Xu Siyan help himself up and sit on the couch beside him.
Concubine De's face was a little uncomfortable, and she said with a smile: "Sister Mo's body is better?" It's good to see you. ”
Mo Zhaorong slowly raised his eyes, there was no look in his eyes, and his voice was weak: "More mothers, the concubines are better." ”
Concubine De nodded and said with relief: "That's good, I didn't see my sister at the Chongyang Palace banquet, and I can't rest assured." ”
She couldn't say anything anymore when she looked at Mo Zhaorong's appearance, glanced at the queen of heaven at a loss, and said in a low voice: "Let's let Zhou Shanggong say it." ”
The queen of heaven glanced at Zhou Shanggong: "Yes, Zhou Shanggong will talk to Mo Zhaorong about the affairs of the Si Decoration Division." ”
Zhou Shanggong's face was cold, and he stepped forward and explained the things in Sun Baolin's palace in detail: "...... Yesterday, Liu Sizhu and several female officials confessed, saying that Zhaorong instructed her to hide the medicinal powder in the jewelry and send it to the Chengxiang Palace. ”
She said, stepping aside and not speaking again.
The queen of heaven looked at the skinny Mo Zhaorong in front of her, sighed lowly, and said, "What do you have to say?" ”
Gu Mingzhu stood behind the Queen of Heaven, looked at Mo Zhaorong carefully, only to see that she seemed to be in a trance, looked at the Queen of Heaven, and then looked at Concubine De, and finally looked at Zhou Shanggong.
"Liu Si?" She looked a little dazed and looked at Zhou Shanggong.
Zhou Shanggong nodded: "Yes." ”
Mo Zhaorong thought about it, but a smile slowly appeared on his thin face, and he nodded after a while: "Yes, I ordered it." ”
The queen of heaven and Concubine De and everyone were stunned: "You mean ......?"
Mo Zhaorong smiled slightly, and his face, which was already a little out of shape, was like a flash in the pan: "Yes, it was ordered by the concubine, and the concubine ordered them to do it." ”
Concubine De was so frightened that she covered her mouth, and it took a long time before she stammered: "But, but how can you ...... Sister Mo?" Sun Baolin is pregnant with an imperial heir in her belly, and she has already had a miscarriage, how can you ......?"
Mo Zhaorong was very calm: "It's just jealousy, the concubine has been in the palace for a few years, she was originally deeply favored, and she was also pregnant with the imperial heir, but she had a miscarriage before she could be born, and she became like this, hiding in this palace without being a ghost, but she can be loved by the saint with the imperial heir, how can she not be jealous." ”
Gu Mingzhu looked at Mo Zhaorong and frowned slightly, for some reason, she felt that although Mo Zhaorong was talking about jealousy, there was no jealousy on his face, nor any emotional fluctuations, but he looked calm and calm.
The queen of heaven frowned: "Mo Zhaorong, have you figured it out, did you do it?" Her tone became heavier: "Do you understand what a great sin this is? ”
Gu Mingzhu suddenly had doubts in her heart, and looked up at the queen of heaven, only to see her staring at Mo Zhaorong, but there was a hidden sadness in her eyes.
Mo Zhaorong pushed away the handmaiden's hand, got up with difficulty, and bowed to the queen of heaven: "Niangniang, it was all done by the concubines, it was the concubines who made people drugged and murdered the imperial heir in Sun Baolin's belly, I originally thought it was hidden enough, but I didn't expect it to be discovered by the mother so soon, and the concubine was guilty and willing to accept the punishment." ”
Concubine De looked at Mo Zhaorong, and couldn't help but fold her hands and recite a Buddha sentence, her eyes full of sadness: "How did it become like this." Sister Mo, how could you do this, that's the emperor's heir. ”
She kept shaking her head and sighing, full of regret and incomprehension, and there were tears in her eyes.
The queen of heaven's face was extremely ugly, she glanced at Concubine De and the others, and said, "How is Sun Baolin now, I haven't gone over to see it today." ”
Concubine De hurriedly said: "I heard that it is better, and the concubine has not had time to take a look at it." ”
The queen of heaven nodded: "In that case, you take Zhou Shanggong and them over together, go and see her for me, let her live and recuperate, and I will deal with anything." ”
Concubine De was stunned for a moment, but she glanced at Mo Zhaorong who was kneeling on the ground: "But ...... here"
The queen of heaven said coldly: "I will ask clearly, and when I find out, I will deal with it according to the palace rules." ”
Concubine De got up and bent her knees: "Yes, the concubine will go over and comfort Sun Baolin, let her have a good life, and then go to kowtow to the mother when she is ready." ”
Concubine De took a group of people from Zhou Shanggong out of the palace together, leaving only the queen of heaven in the palace, Mo Zhaorong kneeling in the hall, as well as Gu Mingzhu and Xu Siyan.
The queen of heaven glanced at Mo Zhaorong, whose face was still quiet, and opened her mouth coldly: "Mingzhu, you two should also go outside, go and take a look at the scenery of this Lingyun Pavilion." ”
The queen of heaven refused to even stay with them, and wanted to talk to Mo Zhaorong alone.
Gu Mingzhu was a little surprised, but he couldn't help but retreat with Xu Siyan as instructed, and gently closed the door of the palace, leaving the Queen of Heaven and Mo Zhaorong in the hall.
At the moment when the door of the hall was closed, Gu Mingzhu saw the queen of heaven who had already gotten up and walked to the hall, looking at Mo Zhaorong with her head down, although she had not yet spoken, the complicated look in her eyes had never been seen before.
But Mo Zhaorong smiled slightly, raised his head and looked ahead, without the slightest fear, as if he didn't know what would happen next.
