Chapter 22: The Fall
As soon as she heard Aunt Ying say that she was going to be killed with a cane, Xianglian was frightened and prostrate on the ground. She knelt and moved her legs, and said in a trembling voice: "Princess Xixia spares her life, the slave is wrong, the slave and the maid kowtow to you and ask for guilt......"
Dugu Dieyi kicked the Xianglian who was holding her far away.
"This is the Imperial Palace of the Celestial Empire, not my Western Xia Harem, and this princess has no right to decide your life and death. Yushu, change clothes, take Xianglian, let's go meet the queen. ”
Yushu responded, and hurriedly helped Dugu Dieyi change clothes and prepare. Yuhuan entered, watching Xianglian kneeling on the ground and sobbing, unreasonable.
"Yuhuan, you go with this princess to see the queen mother."
"Yes." Yuhuan responded.
In the Feng'an Palace, Empress Sun sat in the first place in civilian clothes. Dugu Dieyi stood on one side, Yuhuan and Yushu stood behind Dugu Dieyi, and Xianglian knelt on the ground, so frightened that she didn't even dare to take a breath.
"Xianglian, tell me, how did you offend Princess Xixia......" Empress Sun said sharply.
Xianglian swallowed, I really didn't understand, how did what she did be exposed so quickly.
"The queen, slave maid...... The slave maid ......" Xianglian looked at her eyes and acted, as if she was deliberately looking for some opportunity.
Aunt Ying approached and said: "Back to the queen's words, this girl Xianglian went out of Xiushuiju alone at noon today, went to see Princess Duan, took the benefits of Princess Duan, and promised Princess Duan to report to her every move of Princess Xixia in Xiushui Ju at any time. Unfortunately, it was discovered by the princess of Xixia and sent to you. ”
As soon as Queen Sun heard this, her anger rose, what was going on with this princess, she was so careless, there was nothing wrong with finding an informant, but how could she find such a mediocre talent, and before the matter was completed, she was discovered by others. In the end, this unclean ass still needs her mother-in-law to wipe her.
It's just a stupid word.
Thinking about it, Empress Sun must be the queen of the Middle Palace, and now that the princess of Xixia has sued her, how can she not deal with it.
"Xianglian, you little hoof, you actually eat inside and outside, do you know that this palace hates you the most like eating inside and outside." Empress Sun scolded. "Come on, drag this girl out of the palace, and kill her with a cane."
As soon as Xianglian heard this, her legs softened at that time. "Queen Mother, the slave is wrong, the slave will never dare in the future, please be merciful and spare the slave's life."
"Drag it out......" Empress Sun said sharply. As soon as her words fell, two attendants stepped forward and dragged Xianglian up left and right.
When Dugu Dieyi saw this scene, she stepped forward and blocked in front of Xianglian: "Slow, Queen Mother, I have something to say." ”
"Niangniang, Xianglian is just a girl, what she does is only take people's money and do things for others. Fortunately, I found out in time and didn't make any big mistakes. It's just that this harem is your business, and some people have already put their hands into the harem, wanting to influence the affairs of the palace and anger Tianwei Fengyan, this matter is by no means a trivial matter. ”
Queen Sun listened to Dugu Dieyi's words, and couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, she thought that it was just a matter of disposing of Xianglian and taking this evil breath for Dugu Dieyi.
Princess Duan is her daughter-in-law, and everything is done for King Duan. Naturally, she had to maintain it. It's just that Dugu Die is pressing step by step, and she is not good at protecting her shortcomings.
She dealt with Xianglian here, but didn't deal with Princess Duan there, which would be unfair.
"Queen Mother, this matter originally belonged to your family, and I really don't want to say anything. It's just that now I live in this Tianchao harem, if there is something difficult to deal with because of the slaves and maids eating inside and out, Emperor Tianwei is there, I'm afraid you won't be able to explain. Dugu Dieyi's words directly put pressure on Queen Sun.
She wanted to be partial to the princess, but Dugu Die refused to let her.
"What the princess said is that the palace is negligent." Empress Sun paused, and then said: "Princess Xixia, then in your opinion, how should this palace be dealt with?" ”
Dugu Dieyi smiled indifferently, she is not stupid, so she will not answer this question.
"Queen Mother, I have just said, this is your family matter, I am an outsider, it is really difficult to interfere, you are the queen of the Middle Palace, as for what you do, it is all your business." After Dugu Dieyi finished speaking, she arched her hand and said: "Queen Mother, I have been making a fuss for a long time, and I am already tired, so I will go down to rest first." ”
After Dugu Dieyi finished speaking, she left with Yuhuan and Yushu.
Empress Sun looked at the back of Dugu Dieyi leaving, and her annoyance surged up, she gritted her teeth and said ruthlessly, and ordered: "Come on, drag Xianglian's things out of the palace and kill them with a cane." ”
A sneer appeared on Dugu Dieyi's face.
"As soon as the princess came to complain, Queen Sun killed Xianglian with a cane, aren't you afraid that others will talk about your evil heart?" Yushu whispered.
Dugu Dieyi smiled and said: "The person who gave the order is Queen Sun, what do you have to do with me?" Besides, even if others talk about it, they won't talk about this princess. ”
Yuhuan was originally timid, but listening to Xianglian's wailing behind him, his legs were already weak. How can you still listen to the conversation between Dugu Dieyi and Yushu.
"For this kind of person who eats inside and outside, a person who sells for money, if he wants to deal with this princess, he will also be killed, Yuhuan, you say, Xianglian was killed by Queen Sun's staff, is this right or not?" Dugu Butterfly refers to what he intended.
Yuhuan trembled and said, "Princess, the slave doesn't know ......."
Yushu looked at Yuhuan and said disdainfully: "Princess, in my opinion, it is still light to kill with a cane, it is best to hang her body and expose her to the sun for three days and three nights to punish her for being unfaithful to her master." ”
Yushu stared at Yuhuan's expression tightly. Yuhuan wiped the sweat from his forehead. She obviously didn't do anything, why was she so scared in such a cold sweat?
"Yuhuan, what's wrong with you? Sick? On such a cold day, why did you break out in a cold sweat? Yushu pretended to ask Yuhuan intimately.
Yuhuan replied in a trembling voice: "Sister Lao Yushu cares, I, I, I have a little headache......
Dugu Die squinted at her: "That's it, since you have a headache, let's have a good rest tonight, and Chuan Yuping and Yuqiu will wait tonight." ”
On the way back to Xiushuiju, I happened to pass through the Qingyu Palace, which was temporarily uninhabited, showing a little desolation.
When passing by here, Dugu Dieyi's mood is a little heavy, this Qingyu Palace, is her last life of the dormitory, after the Duan King ascended the throne, changed the Qingyu Palace to Fengning Palace, known as the West Palace of the Heavenly Dynasty, and Feng'an Palace is far away. It was in this peaceful and noble palace that Dugu Dieyi was killed by Princess Duan's straw rope.
Hatred spreads.
