Chapter 559: Wedding Becomes Funeral (Part II)

He Xiuyi was so frightened that she almost collapsed to the ground: "I obviously let people put away that sachet, and I didn't bring it to Huiyi Palace at all-how could it be in the sleeve of Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess?!" ”

Her maid hurriedly ran into the dormitory, came out with an empty box with her feet, and said with a pale face: "Niangniang, that sachet is gone!" ”

Do you need to talk about it now? It must have been a traitor among the people who served He Xiuyi, who entered the dormitory and took the sachet when their master and servant went to Huiyi Palace, and used an unknown method to blend into the sleeve of the eldest princess of Changxing!

"Although I don't know who did it, but if something happened to Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, it may not have anything to do with this sachet?" Seeing He Xiuyi's frightened appearance, the maid forced herself to calm down and comforted, "Don't worry, Niangniang, what is the truth of the matter, I haven't figured it out yet, maybe it has nothing to do with us at all?" ”

But when the maid said so, she didn't know anything in her heart: the sachet was put into the box by her own hand and rested on the dressing table in the dormitory. Since the mole deliberately stole it and got it into the sleeve of the eldest princess of Changxing, was it just to make a prank?

Eight times out of ten. Nine, I want He Xiuyi to top the cylinder, at least drag He Xiuyi into the water!

In fact, just as the maid thought, a moment later, the emperor summoned He Xiuyi to Xuanming Palace and asked her about the sachet.

He Xiuyi was shocked, angry and frightened to explain the origin of the sachet, and emphasized that he definitely did not take it to Huiyi Palace, and it was not clear why this sachet appeared on the eldest princess of Changxing - after that, Jiang Cairen and others were naturally taken to Xuanming Palace to confront him.

Jiang Cairen confirmed He Xiuyi's words, but said: "The concubine later retired and left the Qibao Palace, and I don't know what happened next." ”

He Xiuyi heard what she meant to stay out of the matter, although she knew that Jiang Cairen couldn't help her at the moment, her heart was cold, and she subconsciously looked at Empress Wei - she knew that Princess Changxing was the biological daughter of the Empress Dowager Su, and the Empress Dowager Su had a son and a daughter and two biological flesh and blood, so she was naturally in love.

This time the eldest princess of Changxing had an accident, how could Empress Dowager Su not hate her?

The only thing she can count on at the moment is Empress Wei, who has always been very kind to her.

Empress Wei couldn't see any joy or anger on her face, so she only said calmly: "What about the other sachets made in one piece?" ”

Jiang Cairen and the three of them hurriedly untied their sachets and put them in the lacquer plate served by the palace people.

The queen said: "Let the imperial doctor see, is there a problem with these?" ”

The imperial doctor examined it carefully, and then shook his head: "Back to Your Majesty, Niangniang, these three sachets have not been loaded with traces of snakes and scorpions." ”

He Xiuyi was shocked when she heard this, and blurted out: "Could it be that Her Royal Highness the eldest princess ......?" ”

"There was a poisonous snake in the sachet in her sleeve." Empress Wei said lightly, "The snake recovered from hibernation due to her body temperature and bit her!" ”

After a pause, "Poor sister, she's gone!" ”

The queen said pitiful words, but there was no pity or sadness in her expression, and she wrote lightly, "This matter will be investigated by the palace, He Xiuyi, although the palace does not want to believe that you have anything to do with this matter, but the rules cannot be broken." Go with them! ”

Before He Xiuyi could answer, a voice full of anger and hatred suddenly came from outside the hall: "Slow! ”

Immediately, Empress Dowager Su held Fang Yu's hand, strode in, and said sharply, "The mourning family hasn't asked yet, who dares to leave?!" ”

Empress Wei pressed the corner of her eyes with a handkerchief, changed her mournful tone, and said: "The queen mother's current mood can be understood by the daughter-in-law!" After all, the prince also suffered a crime not long ago, and thanks to the blessing of the great Rui ancestors, the prince survived! This Changxing sister actually went directly! How can the daughter-in-law not know that the queen mother will definitely be cut off? ”

Speaking of this, he pointed to He Xiuyi, "But Qin Wan is the person who was personally selected by the queen mother to serve His Majesty, what kind of temperament is she, the queen mother also talked about it two days ago, and you know best!" So how could she murder Sister Changxing? This must be a frame-up, even if you are in a hurry to avenge Sister Changxing, you can't wrongfully punish the innocent! ”

Hearing this, He Xiuyi subconsciously glanced at Empress Dowager Su, and the horror in her eyes was clear.

Empress Dowager Su laughed angrily: "The mourning family hasn't said anything yet, and the queen has decided that the mourning family is here to target He Xiuyi?" Or the queen can't wait to hope that the mourning family will target He Xiuyi, so that your wish will be fulfilled?! ”

"What does the queen mother mean by that?" Empress Wei half-covered her mouth with a handkerchief, her tone was aggrieved, but her eyes were as cold as ice, "The daughter-in-law is just afraid that the queen mother is angry, and if she does something impulsive, she will regret it afterwards!" ”

Empress Dowager Su gritted her teeth and said: "The mourning family regrets it now!" You shouldn't let my son Changxing come to salute you - otherwise, the daughter of the mourning family will not have an accident as soon as she enters the Xuanming Palace! ”

Empress Wei put down her handkerchief, spread her hands, and said regretfully: "What the queen mother said seems to be that her daughter-in-law and Her Majesty deliberately murdered Sister Changxing!" This is also chilling, this time my sister is down, my daughter-in-law is busy these days, not long ago, I also opened a warehouse to send a batch of treasures to my sister, although I know that my sister is not short of these, so it is also our intention to be a brother and sister-in-law, isn't it? The daughter-in-law is worried about her sister's decline, and there is no merit and hard work! The queen mother is angry with her daughter-in-law and Your Majesty without asking about it, which is really not in line with the mother-in-law demeanor you showed in front of the first emperor in the past! ”

She took a sip of tea and said leisurely, "Besides, there is a way that people cannot be resurrected after death!" Changxing's sister is gone, and the queen mother, you are cutting the murderer with a thousand knives, what's the use, isn't it? So, you might as well relax and leave things to your daughter-in-law, what about yourself, go back to Huiyi Palace to rest, and remember your sister Changxing...... Anyway, I still want to open it! Otherwise, there have been several funerals in the palace this year, and you are also old, but don't have three long and two short because of the death of Changxing's sister, but what should you do if you call your daughter-in-law and Your Majesty, right? ”

Empress Dowager Su was extremely angry, but she calmed down instead: "Wei Yinxuan, do you think that if you harm my son Changxing, and then frame He Xiuyi, you can make He Wenqiong jealous and fall to your Wei family?!" You're dreaming! ”

He Xiuyi, who was crawling on the ground in fear, was taken aback when she heard this, and subconsciously clenched her veil!

"The daughter-in-law originally wanted to save her mother's face, after all, Changxing is also your own flesh and blood, and she is the only princess under the knee of the first emperor!" Empress Wei has been sitting indifferently since Empress Dowager Su came in, without the slightest intention of getting up to give way, at this moment she is condescending, and she can see He Xiuyi's small movements clearly, she can't help but change her sitting posture and sneer, "I don't want the queen mother to tear her face!" ”

The queen raised her eyebrows and said, "Then don't blame your daughter-in-law for not giving you face-you said that your daughter-in-law hurt Sister Changxing, and framed He Xiuyi?" This is simply ridiculous! Not to mention that the daughter-in-law has always loved He Xiuyi, since she entered the palace, she has always been kind and pleasant, and she has never been treated badly, so she suddenly put her to death? ! ”

"Just say that He Xiuyi's grandfather He Shangshu is now in charge of the forbidden army, and the daughter-in-law still expects He Shangshu to seconded the daughter-in-law's maiden family and support King Liang's accession to the throne! How can you move He Xiuyi?! ”

"It's the queen mother's decisiveness that is really impressive-the sachet in Changxing's sleeve is certainly full of snakes, but she has been in Huiyi Palace for so long, and Huiyi Palace is not that she didn't burn the dragon, why was she so dignified at that time, and something happened as soon as she arrived at Xuanming Palace? ! This is simply the queen mother's intention to slander her daughter-in-law and Her Majesty, in order to frame He Xiuyi, right?! ”

The queen said and applauded softly, "Give up your own daughter to pave the way for your own son!" The queen mother's ruthless decision, the daughter-in-law is really ashamed! ”

Empress Dowager Su and Empress Wei completely tore their faces this time, and they didn't even care about the scene - the more noisy you came and went, the more unseemly it became, and Emperor Duanhua, who had been making wallflowers, felt a little unbearable, but the emperor was ignored several times or tried to mediate, and finally simply got up and walked away!

The emperor can throw his hands and leave, but the others don't have the courage, so they have to continue to listen to these two scolding more and more fiercely, and even many palace secrets that cannot be passed on have been shouted!

Just when everyone was worried about whether they would be killed, the Queen Mother was finally alarmed and came to stop this farce in person!

It's just that the arrival of the Queen Mother, although the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother stopped the dispute, but the death of Princess Changxing will definitely have a result.

Not only will the Empress Dowager Su never let go of the person who murdered her daughter, but the He Mansion outside the palace is still happily arriving for joyful wine, but the bride died before she even entered the door, whether it is the He family or He Qian, how can you not have an explanation?

The Empress Dowager had to fight her spirits and personally inquire about what happened - but this matter is really unclear for a while: the sachet has not been found in Huiyi Palace, after all, the Empress Dowager Su is not easy to fool, if she had noticed something wrong earlier, how could she have allowed her daughter to be killed; On the side of Xuanming Palace, Empress Wei also insisted that she didn't know anything, anyway, after Princess Changxing entered the palace to salute, the emperor and queen called up, and she suddenly fell!

As for He Xiuyi, the owner of the sachet, and Jiang Cairen, who made the sachet, there are only a few words, and I can't ask more.

The Empress Dowager knew the truth of the matter, and it must be Empress Wei who avenged the crown prince and prevented the He family from falling to the Su family, so she wanted to murder Princess Changxing.

As for the way Empress Wei started, it didn't matter in the eyes of the Empress Dowager, what mattered was the impact that this matter would have on the court, or rather, on the struggle for the throne!

So in the end, the Empress Dowager said: "The mourning family is old, and when they are old, their spirits will inevitably be poor!" The mourning family didn't have a clue about this matter for a while...... In this way, Changxing was supposed to be the wife of the He family today, but now she is gone. Although we are royal, we also have to give an explanation to the He family! Let He Wenqiong investigate this matter thoroughly, and also give him a chance to avenge his daughter-in-law! ”

When Empress Dowager Su and Empress Wei heard this, they each pondered for a moment, and said in unison: "Obey Yi's will!" ”

And at this time, the Yanhou Mansion, taking advantage of the fact that the attention of the whole imperial capital was focused on the death of the eldest princess of Changxing, drove out of a green curtain car and quietly disappeared into the wind and snow!

"But Sister Wangyi's trip is going well!" In order to prevent attracting attention, Song Yixiao didn't dare to go out to see her off, estimating that Pei Yourui had almost left Yanhou Mansion, so she sighed and said to the bell, "I don't know if Fan Zhong will be suspicious when he receives that letter?" ”

"It's just a banker!" The bell comforted, "What's more, Cui Miao was serving in front of the Hou Ye earlier, and you have not given her less face since Xu Ren." Now that it is approaching the end of the year, you can't worry about it, so it is reasonable to call Cui Yi to come over and give you a hand, so what should Fan Zhong doubt? ”

Because the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom asked to send Pei Yourui to the Zhanchun Pavilion with a very resolute attitude, and even urged several times, Jian Xubai and his wife had no choice but to follow their fate - simply Song Yixiao thought of a safer way in a hurry, which was to write a letter to call Cui Miao, who was married to Zhuangzi outside the city, and emphasized in the letter that it was cold at the end of the year, and the snow and the road were slippery, so let her come by car.

Cui Miao was born as a palace maid in Mingren Palace, and she served Jian Xubai, so she was the most qualified among the maids in Yanhou Mansion, and the size of Fan Zhong who married her was also a Zhuang head. It is natural that she has no problem going out to get a carriage to ride, and it is reasonable, and it will not arouse suspicion.

After she arrived, Song Yixiao found another excuse to keep her in the house for a few days, but asked Pei Yourui to pretend to be Cui Miao and go out of the city by car.

Once you get to a secluded spot outside the city, it's simple.

However, the matter is big, even if Pei Yourui has already left the house, Song Yixiao is a little uneasy after all.

At this moment, after listening to the persuasion of the bell, he breathed a sigh of relief and sighed: "What you said is - this time she has been wronged, she has been in the house for a few days, and her diet and daily life have been better, don't let her be scared!" ”

Of course, Pei Yourui's matter will not be told to Cui Miao, she was called to Yanhou Mansion for some reason, and she was placed under house arrest for some reason, thinking that Cui Miao must be very worried at this moment.

Song Yixiao naturally had to tell the people below to be more diligent, so as not to let Cui Miao scare anything.

The bell responded tamely, and frowned: "Her Royal Highness the eldest princess of Changxing is gone...... Grandma, what do you mean? ”
