050 Cocooning and self-restraint
In a dimly lit dungeon.
"It's really hard to find a place to step on iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get there. The crime of assassinating the county lord, and then turning over the old accounts, is enough for Mo Haocheng to bear. But Xifan, you are Mo Haocheng's personal guard, he should treat you well, why are you so greedy for life and afraid of death, and you want to be an unfaithful and unrighteous person? ”
Mo Zixiang had a smug face.
"Even if I commit suicide, I will be as suspicious as a king." Xifan said calmly.
"But there is no proof of death. Xifan, if you want to live, this king will give you the opportunity to atone for your sins. ”
Xifan raised his head and looked at Mo Zixiang, his eyes were surprisingly calm: "There is a vacant lot in the southwest corner of the back garden of King Cheng's Mansion, where there are more than twenty corpses buried, not to mention more than twenty corpses. After Mo Haocheng killed someone, he said that it was a pity that the body was thrown away, buried there, and it was used as flower fertilizer. ”
Yu Qianling couldn't help frowning when she heard this. But Mo Zixiang's eyes lit up.
"Who did he kill?"
"The others are just that, there are a few people, who are the daughters of the official family who have disappeared in the past few years."
Hearing Xifan's words, Mo Zixiang suddenly laughed: "Okay, good." It turns out that the flower thief who has not been caught in Dali Temple is Mo Haocheng. In this way, even if he is lucky enough to save a dog's life, there is no possibility of turning over in the future. Ze Feng sent someone to spread the news to the palace immediately, and the concubine knew what to do. This time, their mother and son can be regarded as planted. ”
Although Mo Haocheng is not a good thing, Mo Zixiang is so good, passing by is just a dog eating a dog. Seeing him so proud, Yu Qianling's shoulders trembled a little, his fists couldn't help but clench tightly, his nails were embedded in the flesh, and he didn't feel pain.
With so many lives, Mo Zixiang actually applauded, and he was really hard-hearted!
Yu Qianling stood up, suppressed the anger in his heart, and pretended to be calm and asked, "What about the others, the common people?" ”
"Some of them are daughters of ordinary people. The rest are some Qinglou women, singers and dancers. And also...... It's nothing. Xifan's words were calm.
With a "bang", Yu Qianling slapped his palm on the table: "Whether it is the daughter of an official family or a woman in the Qinglou, they are all living people!" They died unexpectedly, they were buried in the ground, and there was not even a grave! You're saying it so lightly. It's just greedy for life and afraid of death, it's just a betrayal to save your life, it's so indifferent and ruthless! ”
Mo Zixiang was startled.
A trace of sadness flashed in Xifan's eyes, but it quickly disappeared, and a helpless smile appeared on his face: "The deceased is gone, what about sadness, can they come back from the dead?" Life is in the world, the weak eat the strong. ”
Yu Qianling didn't want to listen to it anymore, let alone see these two people who were brazen again. She wanted to turn around and leave, but she held back.
"Lord, I'm tired. I'm going to take a break. After speaking, Yu Qianling saluted and turned to leave.
Walking to the door of the dungeon, Mo Zixiang chased after him, he gently hugged Yu Qianling's shoulder, and said gently: "County Lord, don't worry, this king will definitely make Mo Haocheng pay the price!" ”
Yu Qianling smiled slightly, and pressed the heart that wanted to stab Mo Zixiang to death: "Lord, it's late at night, it's better to go back to the palace earlier." Early tomorrow morning, I will take this Xifan to meet the emperor. ”
Mo Zixiang nodded: "It's okay, after all, you are the first victim." ”
After sending away Mo Zixiang, Yu Qianling felt tired, sitting on the couch, and there was no sleepiness.
In the palace, Yu Qianling knew about the matter between the imperial concubine and Xie Guifei.
There is only one queen in the world. Although the other concubines are all concubines, they also have to compete for dignity and humility. The Shangguan family has already produced a queen, and the emperor naturally doesn't want the Shangguan family to dominate in the harem. So at the beginning, the position of this imperial concubine, he belonged to Xie Guifei.
The Xie family has been an official for generations, and it is also a famous family. There have been concubines in the past, and in this generation, they naturally hope to go to the next level.
It's a pity that conspiracy methods, competing for favor and flattery, Xie Wanyi still lost to Shangguan Jue.
The imperial concubine has a noble position, second only to the queen, and is the first of all concubines.
Although Shangguan Jue succeeded, he did not give up the suppression and run on Xie Wanyi. The two of them are open and secret, and they are incompatible.
Thinking of this, Yu Qianling took a sip of tea and found that the tea was already cold.
"It seems that the imperial concubine has the handle of Xie Guifei in her hand, but she is just waiting for the opportunity. When the time comes, they can't turn over the mother and son. Yu Qianling had mixed feelings.
Ying Hong and Xing Yao suddenly realized.
The slave has always wondered, what is the use of informing the imperial concubine at this time, it is difficult to find Xie Guifei in the middle of the night. That's what happened. Sakura said.
Yu Qianling smiled coldly: "I used to hear others say that the children in this palace are destined to be involved in the struggle of the royal family from the moment they are born. The harem competes for favor, and the kings seize the heir. When I came to make peace with my relatives, if I married the emperor, I am afraid it would not be long. However, it is better to lose your life by the calculation of the women of the harem than to torture your beloved husband to death. ”
When he said the last sentence, Yu Qianling's expression darkened.
Ying Hong and Xing Yao knew that she must have remembered the past. There was silence for a while, not knowing how to comfort him.
Xing Yao smiled awkwardly and broke the silence: "County Lord, that Mo Haocheng is not a thing. Borrow the hand of the prince and get rid of him. Right now, the county lord can't always think about the past. The important thing is to eat and drink well, sleep well, and nourish your spirits. In this way, you can find a way to get revenge. ”
"yes, isn't my purpose revenge? I want to pay the price for the people who have harmed me, and I want to turn the Xiangwang Mansion upside down! "The hatred in my heart was ignited again.
She doesn't have time to dwell on the grief of the past, she still has a lot to do.
Thinking of this, Yu Qianling subconsciously touched his arm. It used to be scarred and fleshy. These are her blood and tears.
Just then, Bai Yao walked in.
"County Lord, Lord Xiang is gone."
Yu Qianling couldn't help but show a disgusted expression.
"Bastard, let him go with pride. In the future, there will be times when he cries! ”
Bai Yao smiled, his face full of disdain: "It's just a dog eats a dog, see who is better." County Lord, don't bother about this. By the way, the county lord, the valley lord has sent a letter, saying that everything is ready. Soon, we will leave. One month before the wedding, you can go to the imperial capital. ”
Yu Qianling was a little surprised: "So early." It's hard for him to be an old man. In fact, you can go to the imperial capital half a month in advance. ”
"The valley owner marries his beloved daughter, so he naturally has to pay attention to it. However, the Valley of Ten Thousand Medicines cannot be left without an owner for a day. The Lord of the Young Valley will not come with him. Bai Yao said.
"That's nature." Yu Qianling said.
Bai Yao saw Yu Qianling's tired face: "The county lord should rest early, and he will have to enter the palace tomorrow." The subordinates retired. ”
After saying that, Bai Yao walked out.
After Yu Qianling rested, Xing Yao returned to his room. It was a really exhausting day.
Xingyao opened the window and waited quietly for something. But for a long time, no carrier pigeons came. Sleepy, she kept fighting between her upper and lower eyelids.
Xingyao bothered and closed the window.
It's been so long, and the eldest lady hasn't passed the book to her, Xing Yao feels very strange. The last time, it should be before being framed by Bi'er.
***
The imperial concubine had just fallen asleep, but she heard hurried footsteps outside.
Qiu Yue hurriedly walked out and opened the door. Liu Dequan's low voice was heard.
The imperial concubine frowned and sat up.
Qiu Yue closed the door, walked in, and whispered something in the imperial concubine's ear.
I was sleepy just now, but now I suddenly feel sleepy.
"As long as Mo Haocheng can't turn over, then Concubine Xie is equivalent to entering the cold palace. Back then, she did tricks and feet for the fetal pills in the palace, and the palace never settled accounts with her. It's okay, the value of Hongu and so on. Tomorrow, there's a good show to watch! The imperial concubine smiled and lay down.
"But mother, it's been so many years. Moreover, you also said that although Concubine Xie did it, you and the eleventh prince have nothing to do. Therefore, the emperor will not be harsh. Qiu Yue was puzzled.
"You know what? It's called adding fuel to the fire. Mo Hao disregarded human life and violated the law of the country. If it spreads, it will arouse the wrath of the people. What's more, there are the daughters of several officials. If the punishment is not severe, it will cause unrest in the court. Your Majesty, you will definitely be furious. He will definitely blame Concubine Xie and say that she has no way to teach her son. At this time, this palace added fire to her. ”
Qiu Yue nodded: "The slave understands." Hit the snake and hit seven inches, so that they can't live, and they won't bite in turn. ”
At this moment, the imperial concubine felt very comfortable. Thinking that he could get rid of Xie Guifei immediately, he felt happy.
Back then, Concubine Xie was pregnant, and she was also pregnant with the eleventh prince. The two of them competed openly and secretly.
Concubine Xie did something in her fetal pills, causing the imperial concubine to give birth prematurely. However, the imperial concubine is blessed with a great life, and the mother and son are safe.
At that time, the imperial concubine felt that it was Xie Guifei's hands and feet. It was only after a long time of investigation that I found useful evidence.
To say that this Shangguan Jue is really enduring. One forbearance is nearly twenty years.
"The grudge between Bengong and Xie Wanyi should also be settled." With that, she rolled over and closed her eyes.
Following.
Yu Qianling felt a little headache, looked in the mirror, and found that her face was ugly.
Xing Yao looked at Yu Qianling's brows, and immediately smiled: "The county lord doesn't have to worry, if you rub more rouge incense powder, you won't be able to see it." ”
Yu Qianling waved his hand and sat down: "No, no, no, just wipe it a little." I just want the emperor to see my appearance. Think about it, I'm a weak woman, isn't it too strange that someone can eat and sleep well when someone assassinates her. ”
"Yes, yes, yes, or the county lord is thoughtful. When the county lord saw the emperor, he had to pretend to be pitiful, and he wanted a handful of snot and tears to complain! Xingyao picked up the comb and began to comb Yu Qianling's hair.
"Yes, it makes sense. I want to cry like a cowardly and weak, so that I can see pity on others. However, when I thought of seeing Mo Zixiang's smug face today, I was really unhappy! Yu Qianling said.
