Chapter Eighty-Nine: Open Struggle and Secret Fighting
On the Taihe Palace.
The emperor came out of the inner hall with a bad face, and the queen didn't see the way the emperor looked at her before, so she didn't come up to ask, but Concubine De, who has always been good friends with Concubine Liang, looked at the emperor nervously and asked, "Your Majesty, how is Concubine Liang's sister." ”
The emperor shook his head, and looking at his expression, he could tell that Concubine Liang's state was not very good. Concubine De didn't ask anything more, just sighed.
"Why is this saffron in Junliang's bowl?" The emperor looked at the queen with an unhappy expression.
The queen was stunned for a moment, and then looked at the emperor with tears in her eyes and said: "It's all to blame for the negligence of the concubines and let the villains take advantage of the loopholes, the concubines are the ones in charge of the palace banquet, so they naturally have to take responsibility, but the emperor's top priority is to catch the person who drugged them, and then the concubines are pleading guilty to the emperor." ”
The queen's eyes glanced at Concubine Guifei and Concubine De lightly, and the meaning revealed was obviously that the two were behind the scenes.
The concubine looked at the queen in front of her coldly, and she didn't argue anything, but she still secretly hated the queen in her heart, and it was really a good strategy to retreat. first take the blame on yourself, and then blame others, and in the end, you won't blame the queen. The queen is really a good calculation, but does she really think she is a soft persimmon?
It's not that Concubine De didn't see the queen's eyes, and she didn't know that the queen's actions were framing the two of them, but the concubine didn't show it, and it was not easy for her to stand up and be a bird, after all, she had always looked at the concubine as the horse, and it was not good to accuse the queen of being arrogant.
Now that she has received the signal from the concubine, she naturally has to stand up and make the queen feel uncomfortable. She knew that the concubine didn't use herself as a gunman, but the incident that made the concubine fall ill back then, if the concubine stood up, it would inevitably make people feel that this matter had anything to do with the two of them.
"My sister also felt strange when she heard her sister's words, this palace banquet is in charge of my sister, and the palace is already very strict about the management of meals, not to mention that this imperial dining room has always been managed by my sister, if I start, I'm afraid my sister won't be able to escape the relationship." Concubine De chuckled, as if she thought the queen's words were very funny.
The queen's eyes looked at Concubine De like a knife, and she gritted her teeth and said: "Where is my sister talking about, even if my sister is in charge of this huge imperial dining room, even if she can see every dish, she can't see the thief who drugged it, right?" ”
"Even if that's the case, I'm afraid the people over there will be the first to check, after all, the soup is brought from the imperial dining room." Concubine De was not afraid of the queen's sharp eyes, and looked back at the queen with a sneer.
"Enough! Both of you shut up with me, and someone can find out what the result is, and there is no need for the two of you to point fingers here. "The emperor was already upset, listening to the two women chattering and arguing at me, and his heart was even more annoyed, so he yelled at the two.
As soon as the emperor spoke, the two glanced at each other with disdain, but naturally they didn't dare to say anything more, so they could only stand in silence.
The ministers didn't speak, after all, this matter was the emperor's family matter, and it was not easy for them to intervene in it, but after all, they were also in the Taihe Palace, so they were naturally suspected of murdering the emperor's heir, and they couldn't leave the Taihe Palace.
Everyone was in danger, no one dared to speak, and the Taihe Hall began to fall silent again. Nan Xuanyu's gaze swept around, and he unexpectedly found that Ji Yueqin and Nan Xuanjue were not in the hall. Thinking of what happened in the afternoon, he was a little suspicious of the relationship between the two.
He opened his mouth to say something, but he didn't say anything. The queen will also think of Ji Yueqin, now there is no way to frame the concubine and the concubine, but there is a Ji Yueqin who is out of the palace on the cusp, if she lets go of this opportunity, it will be a real waste of opportunity.
"Huh? What about Yueqin's girl and the third prince? The queen's words made the silent Taihe Hall noisy, and I have to say that the queen's words caused the doubts of the ministers, could it be that this Anning county lord and His Royal Highness the Third Prince have any personal relationship?
Don't say that the ministers, even Nan Xuanyu thinks so, the ministers whisper below, which can be regarded as achieving the queen's goal, first staining Ji Yueqin's innocence, and then throwing the great crime of murdering the emperor's heir on her head.
Huaizhu saw everyone's reactions, and then stood up and said: "Back to the queen's mother, the county lord watched the queen mother return to the palace, and sat there alone and felt a little bored, so he told the slave and maid that he wanted to go out to breathe, and then left the Taihe Palace." ”
The queen obviously knew that Huaizhu would come out to help Ji Yueqin speak, and she was also ready, only to see Lu He stand up and say: "Fang Cai saw that someone handed a letter to His Royal Highness the Third Prince, and His Royal Highness the Third Prince also went out not long after the county lord of Anning went out. ”
One stone stirred up a thousand waves, Green Lotus's words were like a thunderclap, and it made everyone present think about it, although she didn't say who it was, but everyone subconsciously thought that the person who handed over the letter was the lord of Anning.
Nan Xuanyu frowned unhappily, although he did have such thoughts in his heart, but listening to Lu Lotus say this, he was naturally even more uncomfortable in his heart.
Huaizhu knew that it was the queen who was framing her own county lord again, although she was angry in her heart, she didn't dare to openly confront the queen's mother, no matter how she said that she was just a palace maid, and the official was crushing people to death, she was not unclear about this truth.
The emperor knew what the queen was thinking, but he didn't know what the queen was thinking after that, and he didn't say anything and sent a few people to find the two of them.
......
In the West Rain Garden, Nan Xuanjue and Ji Yueqin listened to what Qianyu said, and they didn't say anything for a long time. Qianyu also knew that what she said to the two of them was not something that could be accepted for a while, so she didn't bother the two of them out loud.
I don't know how long it took, Nan Xuanjue smiled bitterly and said, "I didn't expect that I still have such a relationship with you. ”
Ji Yueqin sighed faintly: "It's really hard for your mother, and in the end, you can't get a good result." ”
Qianyu looked at the two, and the look in her eyes made the two incomprehensible, but it wasn't that kind of malicious look, it looked like a mother's eyes looking at her child.
"I think it's not very peaceful tonight, looking at the people who chased you just now, it is estimated that Miss Biao is making some kind of conspiracy, so you two still have to be more careful, the third prince, you go back to the Taihe Palace first, I have something I want to say to Miss Xiao alone." What's more, if the two of you go back at the same time, I'm afraid you will attract the attention of those who have a heart. Qianyu looked at the two of them and said with a light smile.
Nan Xuanjue felt that Qianyu was also very thoughtful, and it didn't make any sense, she just said a word to visit on a certain day, and reminded Ji Yueqin a few words, and then took the lead in leaving Xiyuyuan.
