When he heard Yan Zhi say that Huoxiang had been tested, and there was no problem with the food that Hua Jieyu brought, Sun Qingyang was puzzled: "Could it be that the palace blames her?" โ
Shuangzhi said: "If you want to say that Hua Jieyu has no ghosts in her heart, the slaves and maids can't believe it, she is so panicked, and she repeatedly refuses the tea given by her mother, isn't she afraid that Niangniang will set her up and poison her?" โ
After thinking for a moment, Sun Qingyang shook his head, "No, we have something missing." Even if the palace gives people the feeling of flying and domineering, but after all, it has not reached the point of ignoring people's lives, why would Hua Jieyu be scared like that, and want to refrain from the tea in this palace? โ
She thought for a while, and then said: "Hua Jieyu was able to escape quietly from the situation of Xiang Meiren, and with the help of Concubine Hui and Concubine Li, she regained her favor, and the limelight overwhelmed Jiao Zhaoyi a few, and she couldn't find a second person among the newcomers in the harem, such a smart person, how could she be said to be flustered in front of the palace?" Why did she deliberately cower? What does she want to do? โ
She couldn't imagine that Yan Zhi and the others were even more confused.
"Hua Jieyu just came, did you say that Concubine Li was wronged and pleaded for her?" After being silent for a while, Sun Qingyang asked.
Yan Zhi thought about it and shook his head.
"Jieyu Niangniang only said that she wanted to send some food to Concubine Li, take a look at her, the slave maid remembered, she also said that Niangniang abused lynching, did not give Concubine Li a full meal, and there was nothing else-" Danzhi was the youngest and had a good memory, and thought about what happened to Hua Jieyu after she came in just now, and replied.
Sun Qingyang glanced at her approvingly, "She doesn't plead, which means two things, one, she knows that Concubine Li is not wronged; Second, she thought that the palace misunderstood Concubine Li, thinking that those things were indeed done by Concubine Li. If it is the former, it is easy to understand, the latter, why did she frame Concubine Li, and deliberately pretended to be like that in front of the palace, causing the palace to be suspicious? โ
She couldn't figure it out, so she had to tell Shuangzhi, "Tell people to keep an eye on Hua Jieyu, where she goes, who she sees, even if she stays in front of a flower or a tree for a long time, give it to the palace to check carefully." There are also Yanzhi, and then go to check the Shangyi Bureau, and go to the silk threads in the Kunning Palace, except for Concubine Li's brother, who else is buying them in the palace. โ
*
Not to mention how Sun Qingyang investigated, after Hua Jieyu left Kunning Palace, the news of the queen's cruelty soon came out, saying that Hua Jieyu couldn't stand on her knees, and she was not allowed to see Concubine Li.
Although Concubine Li committed the felony of murdering the prince, this person was not allowed to see him before he died, which was too unreasonable...... Thinking of the generosity of Jingci Immortal Master when he was the queen, there were naturally more dissatisfied voices in the palace with Sun Qingyang.
And Hua Jieyu, who has a deep affection for Concubine Li, has naturally become the object of praise and sympathy from everyone.
Jiao Zhaoyi teamed up with several low-ranking concubines, and even planned to set a table for her to suppress her and relieve her.
Of course, it is mainly to show Jiao Zhaoyi's generosity and affinity.
When people are down, they will remember the hand that pulled her up from the mud, and it is this affectionate Hua Jieyu, Jiao Zhaoyi feels that it is the best time to gather her into her own person at this time.
Moreover, Hua Jieyu made the queen unhappy, I am afraid that not only because of Concubine Li, but also because she has won the emperor's heart recently, at this time, she showed favor to her, Hua Jieyu still did not recommend her to the emperor Jiao Tiantian?
It's a pity that when she arrived at Changyang Palace, Jiao Zhaoyi's palace maid went to the air, and Hua Jieyu was not in Changyang Palace.
She is in the Yongning Palace.
"Hua Jieyu, there are rumors outside, but is it true? You are not so brave that you dare to spread the queen mother in private. Although it was to blame Hua Jieyu, He Jiayu did not have the slightest hint of blame in his tone.
Hua Jieyu smiled bitterly, "If the concubine wants to say that half of those words were passed by the concubine, can you believe Concubine Hui?" โ
He Jiayu was stunned, "You didn't pass it on, who would pass it on?" It can't be the queen who splashes dirty water on herself, right? โ
Hua Jieyu shook her head, "The concubines don't know how those words got out, maybe the minions are not tight-lipped." However, that day, the concubine looked at the queen mother is really like the rumors outside, exhausted of qi and blood, these hot concubines use ice in the house in the morning and evening, she has no ice there, there is no mention of it, the seat is also covered with white fox skin, although the body is dressed in gauze, but the concubine looks at the bottom, it seems that there is a thick jacket. The face is not good, and although he is smeared with rouge, he can't hide his paleness. โ
A cheerful smile appeared on the corner of He Jiayu's mouth, "No wonder I went to Kunning Palace a few days ago to ask for peace, and this palace felt like she had gained weight, it turned out that she was wearing thick clothes underneath." She is so deliberate to conceal it, I am afraid that it is already very bad, but like the end of a strong crossbow, it is just a hard support. โ
Hua Jieyu glanced at He Jiayu's appearance, and suddenly realized, "It's you, it's Concubine Hui, right?" โ
"What is Hongu?" He Jiayu came back to her senses and said angrily: "This palace is happy to hear her bad news, but this palace is not going to do that kind of hand, especially not to the crown prince, this palace can no longer give birth to children, even if she is not good, this palace can be on the throne, and there must be a prince by her side, how can she be stupid enough to attack the prince?" What are you talking nonsense? โ
He Jiayu doesn't like Hua Jieyu, and she has always disliked it, because the emperor said that Hua Jieyu is similar to her when she was young. Any woman would not like to have a woman around her who looks like her, but wants to compete for her favor, but she is still very good to Hua Jieyu, helping Hua Jieyu to plan and compete for favor, and letting her grandmother teach Hua Jieyu how to be a favorite concubine in the palace.
When the emperor saw Hua Jieyu, he would think that there was such a brightly colored woman in Yongning Palace, thinking of the nights they had been together, thinking about it, he would come to Yongning Palace to sit down.
As long as the emperor comes, she will always have a way to keep the emperor.
Moreover, she will also praise her for being kind and generous to Hua Jieyu, worthy of being a person who married into the palace when she was the princess, knowing etiquette and etiquette, and knowing the general situation.
Therefore, helping Hua Jieyu is a matter of cooperation and benefit, and division is a matter of two harms.
She not only helped herself, but also pulled Yuan Airose to help.
Hua Jieyu knew that Concubine Hui's feelings for Concubine Li were deeper and more complicated than her own.
not only has the love that was formed by reading with Princess Xianning, but also blames Concubine Li for making a situation that day and causing her to lose face in front of the princess.
But in the past few years, through ups and downs, leaning and supporting each other, those noisy and noisy when they were young have become a warm memory for them.
Therefore, she must be more looking forward to helping Concubine Li clear her name than herself.
Moreover, in Concubine Hui's heart, even if these two things were really done by Concubine Li, she would only applaud.
Hua Jieyu got close to them, and naturally heard He Jiayu complain that Sun Qingyang, who was inferior to them in the six arts and inferior to them in his family background, was taller than them every step of the way, favored by the emperor more than them, and could have children better than them.
Not only that, Hua Jieyu also knew that from the horse shocking incident, Concubine Hui understood that unless she could find a way to make the queen die and get out safely, otherwise, it would kill the queen, and the position in the middle palace had nothing to do with her, but she was afraid that it would affect her family.
Concubine Hui would never do such a thankless task. Of course, it doesn't prevent others from doing it, and she's happy to see it happen.
So after listening to her own words, Concubine Hui will be angry, if she shows a little bit of tone to the outside, even if the queen finds out that it has nothing to do with her, I am afraid that she will be suspicious.
Although the queen knew that she was a little arrogant and dissatisfied, she would never have imagined that Concubine Hui was looking forward to her death, so with their friendship of nearly 20 years, she would always tolerate her and Concubine Li on weekdays.
As Hua Jieyu guessed, He Jiayu has a love-hate relationship with Sun Qingyang.
Not to mention that they have been suffering and sharing wealth for so many years, that is, she clinged to Hu Shanxiang that day, but if it wasn't for Sun Qingyang to help speak in front of Zhu Zhanji, it would be impossible for He Jiayu and Yuan Airose, who have been out of their knees, to become concubines one after another.
If someone next to her makes a move, He Jiayu will not block it, but if she wants to poison Sun Qingyang by herself, she is really ruthless.
From a young girl to a glamorous young woman, over the years, there is a little more affection for each other than those individuals who entered the palace later.
So as soon as Hua Jieyu said that she did it, she was very angry.
Hua Jieyu said that, but she had the intention of testing He Jiayu, and when she saw He Jiayu's face, she knew that she had guessed wrong.
"I'm sorry, Concubine Hui. The concubine is just a quick talker and guesses. Hua Jieyu hurriedly apologized, and continued to make bold guesses, humbly asking for advice, "According to what Niangniang just said, only people who have given birth to a child, or are pregnant, will use such a cruel trick against the queen, is that the one?" โ
She pointed to the east side of the Yongning Palace. That is Chang'an Palace, where Hu Shanxiang, the immortal master of Jingci, now lives.
He Jiayu didn't think so, but when she heard her, her eyes widened, and she said with some excitement: "Maybe it is, I heard that the queen's loss of qi and blood was because she took Yujin when she gave birth, and at that time, the lord was still pregnant with a child." If it weren't for the crown prince, she wouldn't have lost her position in the middle palace, maybe she would have killed their mother and son for this one, and it would be unknown if she did this. However, she doesn't sleep now, even if she kills their mother and son, she won't be able to end up? Is it purely for revenge, to break the net? Now there's a good show. โ
The schadenfreude in her tone couldn't be hidden.
Hua Jieyu didn't want to get entangled on this topic, and said with a smile: "Whatever, let's just sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, we can get the best benefits, if we can't get it, it won't hurt us." After sitting here for a long time, the concubine should also say goodbye, and now the queen is still suspicious of the concubine, sitting here for a long time, don't be tired of your suspicion. โ
He Jiayu pouted, "She is now a cup bow and snake shadow, looking at everyone like a bad person who harms their mother and son, even the morning and dusk provinces have been exempted in the past two days, I am afraid that someone will attack her again, and I want the palace to say, when the queen arrives at this job, it is not appropriate." โ
Hua Jieyu smiled, and no longer talked, Shi Li withdrew.
