Chapter 206: Murderous Intent Rises (I)
The queen mother held a banquet in the harem, feasted many foreign women, the harem was lively for a while, compared to this, the court was angry with the Son of Heaven, after the penal department was returned, the criminal department Shangshu opened the fold and could hardly stand, there was no instruction on the fold, only a drop of cinnabar fell there in the blank space, bright red like blood, the fold was torn into two pieces and re-pasted before it was distributed, if it were not for the Holy Ancestor Emperor who was not allowed to destroy the holy precept of the courtiers, this fold must have been turned into ashes.
With the horror of the previous twists and turns, the court suddenly couldn't bear the majesty of the Son of Heaven, and the two officials of the Criminal Department who handled the case could only kneel down and tremble and couldn't say half a useful word.
"I can't even handle a case of embezzlement of ink, what's the use of me keeping you?"
The ministers immediately knelt together, "The emperor is angry." ”
The emperor looked coldly at his feet, "Which of you can handle this case?" ”
The officials looked at each other.
The emperor looked at Prince Zhuang standing on the right, "Yan Ning, tell me, who can take on this important task?" ”
Prince Zhuang replied: "Erchen thinks that Wu Muhou Xue Mingrui is thoughtful, whether it is the previous Su Xiyao case or the Ministry of Industry corruption case this time, Wu Muhou is indispensable. ”
The emperor's eyes looked at Xue Mingrui lightly, and then at Zhou Yanning's sincere face for the country.
Prince An Zhou Yanzhang glanced sideways at his younger brother.
The court was quiet, and only the brave dared to raise their heads slightly to look at the holy will.
"Wu Muhou," the emperor said lightly, "since Prince Zhuang recommended you, you will preside over the case of the Ministry of Industry's embezzlement of ink." ”
Like a stone thrown into a calm lake, it suddenly made waves.
Prince An's face changed slightly.
……
Rong Hua raised his head, and the female officer immediately walked forward, and Rong Hua followed closely behind.
The chamberlains and female officials were already waiting in the palace, full-time introductions and waitings for the maids, and they crossed the first palace gate, and a small sedan chair was prepared next to them.
Rong Hua was just about to bend down into the sedan chair when he heard someone calling, "Is it Mrs. Wu Muhou?" ”
Rong Hua turned his head, the person behind him was wearing a lotus makeup and gold thread gown, an apricot red peony flower skirt, combing a high bun, wearing a red yarn flower on his head, a red gold leaf cluster in the middle, and a pomegranate pinching gold step on the right, looking slightly older than her, tall, fair skin, under the beautiful eyebrows, a pair of clear big eyes, red lips pursed, seeing Rong Hua gently chin to her, a smile appeared on her face, and she was about to speak......
Rong Hua had already asked, "Is it Mrs. Dingnan Boshizi?" ”
Mrs. Dingnan Boshizi nodded, "I have long wanted to meet my sister, but I didn't expect to have a chance until today." ”
Rong Hua has heard a little about Rongchuan's family affairs, before the prince's wife Zheng married into Rongchuan, Rongchuan had already accepted the concubine room, the concubine room is the big girl around Rongchuan, quite Rongchuan's heart, Zheng is a generous and well-informed person, the concubine was pregnant before the main room, and the Zheng family also promised the concubine to give birth to the child. When Rong Hua married into the Xue family, the Zheng family happened to be sick in bed while working on family chores, and he never had the opportunity to meet Rong Hua.
Rong Hua and Zheng talked for a while and got into the sedan chair separately.
The sedan chair was lifted to the gate of the inner palace and stopped, and the women of the outer orders got off the sedan chair and walked towards Cining Palace on foot.
There were no majestic guards along the way, the inner servants and palace maids were all gentle-looking, and the outer wives also breathed a sigh of relief and began to look at each other and talk.
Mrs. Cai of the Marquis of Yicheng has entered the palace many times and is also familiar with the attendants, and when they saw the attendants come forward to talk respectfully to Mrs. Cai, all the ladies couldn't help but be envious in their eyes.
After all, it was the sister of the imperial concubine, everyone thought about it, and they all stepped forward to talk to Mrs. Cai, Mrs. Cai responded one by one with a smile, and her eyes couldn't help but look around, and she suddenly saw Rong Hua, and hurriedly took a step forward and said with a smile: "Mrs. Wu Muhou." ”
Everyone heard this voice and looked at Rong Hua.
Mrs. Wu Muhou wears a colorful crown, a woven Wenxia veil, a dazzling cloud shoulder, a pair of watery eyes that seem to have a layer of mist, and her ruddy lips are slightly raised, revealing beauty in the elegance.
Some of the ladies couldn't help but be surprised, they didn't expect Mrs. Wu Muhou to be such a beauty.
Mrs. Cai enthusiastically introduced all the edicts to Rong Hua, most of them were the noble ladies of Gyeonggi, Rong Hua had met all the ladies of the edicts, Mrs. Cai smiled, but her eyes did not leave Rong Hua, and kept looking at Rong Hua.
Rong Hua met Mrs. Cai's gaze, and Mrs. Cai immediately smiled and said, "Mrs. Wu Muhou is really beautiful today. ”
The dress was wide as if it could hide something, and Mrs. Cai's gaze turned around her waist and cuffs, and the meaning was ......
Mrs. Cai walked beside Rong Hua and deliberately distanced herself from others, and said affectionately and worriedly: "Is the in-law wife's illness better?" I want to see her, but I'm afraid she'll think of me when she sees me...... Sad. I couldn't help but sigh.
The two of them were beside Mrs. Command, who heard this, and knew that Mrs. Cai and Mrs. Wu Muhou were gossiping, so they deliberately avoided some distance.
Mrs. Cai saw the opportunity, and her voice was lowered a little lower, "I entered the palace a few days ago, and the imperial concubine also mentioned Madame, saying that Madame is a smart and clever person who has done such a big thing. ”
is smart and clever, which is to remind her to let her see the situation clearly.
Rong Hua said: "Where is it a big deal, but I just do my duty." Besides," he smiled slightly, "In fact, it is the result of the dedication of the Xue family, not my alone." ”
These words are neither humble nor arrogant, Mrs. Cai smiled reluctantly, "I heard that Concubine Jing is the sister of Madame's uncle's family?" ”
Rong Hua nodded, "I haven't heard my mother mention it before, and my uncle's family is not in the capital...... I didn't know that until two days. The voice was slightly high, at least let the female officer next to him hear it.
Mrs. Cai smiled, "You can see you when you enter the palace this time." ”
Rong Hua said: "This time it is the queen mother's banquet, and besides, Concubine Jing is pregnant, how can she be reckless." ”
Mrs. Cai was slightly surprised, looked at Rong Hua carefully, and immediately smiled, and agreed: "That's what I said." ”
The room outside Cining Palace was specially packed up to receive all the ladies, and before Rong Hua and Zheng entered the house, they heard someone inside: "Prince An, Prince Zhuang." ”
Rong Hua and Zheng glanced at each other, and then entered the house.
Entering the door, Rong Hua saw two luxurious princesses in the crowd at a glance.
Prince Zhuang and Princess Zhuang are a little younger, wearing a golden phoenix peony inlaid with treasures, a hairpin with a flower top, a carved golden sorghum and a jewel bib, and a bead string made of coral and beeswax around her neck.
At the age of thirty, Princess An was dressed particularly luxuriously, and she was tall, especially conspicuous in the crowd, and the ladies all stepped forward to salute.
Rong Hua greeted the two princesses.
Princess Zhuang smiled: "It's the first time I've seen Mrs. Wu Muhou. ”
Prince An smiled even more and beckoned Rong Hua, "Come and sit here." ”
Rong Hua and Zheng sat together, the female officials were busy setting up tea, Rong Hua and Zheng drank tea together, and after a while, Prince Zhuang and Mrs. Cai were full of people, Prince An only laughed with a few ladies who were familiar with each other, and looked at Prince Zhuang from time to time.
Princess An looked at Rong Hua with a smile, "It looks like she's only sixteen or seventeen years old." ”
Rong Hua smiled slightly.
Prince An said: "It's really not easy to hear about your Shi Mi...... I can't do anything at your age. ”
Rong Hua said: "I can't either, it's all with the help of my family to do it." ”
Princess An smiled kindly, "Who is born to know, after learning it, you will have experience." ”
Rong Hua smiled.
Prince An asked about the old lady's body again, "I haven't seen the eldest princess for a long time, I should go to the eldest princess to ask for peace another day." ”
Rong Hua responded and raised his head to look at the female officer who had just brought him in, who had quietly retreated and disappeared.
……
The imperial concubine has been sick in bed for the past few days, and she has never gone out of the house since she asked the queen mother for peace in the morning.
After the female officials in the palace finished serving the decoction, the imperial concubine lay down on the soft couch to rest.
After a while, the female official entered the palace and quietly said what Mrs. Wu Muhou and Mrs. Cai had said.
The female official retreated, and Chen Rouwan, a close confidant of the imperial concubine, stepped forward and said, "Hearing this, Mrs. Wu Muhou should not help Concubine Jing......"
The imperial concubine sneered: "Who is right, my sister tested her, of course she wants to say so." Didn't my sister also say that Concubine Jing's mother really went to Wumuhou Mansion yesterday. ”
Chen Rouwan said: "Niangniang means ......"
The imperial concubine said: "The queen mother invited a foreign woman, the palace is rare and lively, it is a good time to put something in my room, and then accuse me of harming the flesh and blood in her stomach, I have seen too many methods in the palace over the years." ”
Chen Rouwan said: "Thanks to Niangniang, she installed eyeliner in Concubine Jing's palace. ”
The imperial concubine sneered: "There is no real evidence to convince the public, if I can catch her today, it is better to expose her true face in front of the emperor, and send someone to keep an eye on Mrs. Wu Muhou to see if she will go to see Concubine Jing." ”
……
Concubine Jing was half-lying on the kang, and the palace people brought all kinds of candied fruits, "The imperial dining room has just come in, and the mother can use it with confidence." ”
Concubine Jing nodded, it's time for the banquet at Cining Palace, Mrs. Wu Muhou is really a smart person, she didn't bring anything in.
Concubine Jing smiled slightly, whether she brought anything or not, she would get the same result, and the imperial concubine came to grab her handle violently, but she would not be able to catch anything. The imperial concubine will be framed, she is soft-spoken, pregnant and staying at home, she will be framed.
Thinking of this, Concubine Jing raised her head to look at the palace people next to her, and the palace people immediately retreated.
Tao Ronghua, what a coincidence, Tao Ronghua died before, but now there is another one, she must meet this Tao Ronghua, and she still needs Wu Muhou's wife Tao Ronghua to help in the future.
Concubine Jing sighed, Tao Zhengan colluded with Zhao Xin to refine the golden stone pill and poisoned her daughter, for such a reason, she was not afraid that Tao Ronghua would not come.
When it comes to chapter names, I'm also very depressed.,I made a mistake before and I can't change it.,That's all I can do.。
Let's go down.
