Chapter 264: Peony in prison
(Cat flutter Chinese) not to mention, this said, everyone's eyes brushed on the cardamom, wisps of golden butterfly wearing begonia shallow onion silk brocade skirt, showing the girl's grace, especially the vivid Su embroidery, lined with sparkling blue waves, as if the colorful butterfly wings are smart, alive and beautiful.
In the past, a group of people must have admired the peak of embroidery, now no one dares to speak, exchange glances with each other, all kinds of speculation float on the look, it is because the pattern is too exquisite, it is unforgettable, people who have seen it remember that this skirt was given to Concubine Qi Shu when Queen Du was in power.
But the Du family has long been against the nine clans, which is a taboo for the emperor, and someone actually plucked the hair on the tiger's mouth, and he was afraid of a long life?
Suddenly, the eyes of envy, jealousy and hatred turned into contempt, disgust, and good show, and they all gathered on Peony.
Peony knelt beside the bright yellow boots with her forehead, her white jade-like slender fingers couldn't help but tremble slightly, and the surrounding discussions were endless, like thorns in her back.
Wen Wanrong wanted to step forward to relieve the siege, but Qin Yang firmly grabbed her wrist and stood behind several princes, silent.
And Xiao Jing's face changed from anger to anger, looking around at everyone, suddenly silent, his eyes finally fixed on Qi Shufei's face, and said unkindly: "How can your skirt appear in Hehuan Garden?" "The traces of the framing are too obvious.
Concubine Qi Shu looked at the palace maid on the boat with an ignorant expression, and then looked at Concubine Lan who was kneeling on the ground, holding Yunshang's hand, kneeling down with difficulty, and shaking her head again and again: "Your Majesty, the concubines don't know, this skirt has never touched the concubine since the Du family rebelled, and she doesn't even remember where to put it." She looked at Yunshang on the side as she spoke: "You go and call the aunt in charge of Jingyang Palace to prove my innocence, go quickly!" Yunshang sighed twice, wanted to turn around, but was stopped by Xiao Jing, since he wanted to check, he naturally couldn't find someone he knew to pass the word, and the old eunuch who followed the emperor's side reacted quickly, took a small step forward, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the slave will go to Jingyang Palace." Xiao Jing raised his hand and motioned to drive back to the palace, and the old lady supervised her words and looks, and asked a few palace people to go with her to do things, while accompanying the emperor back to Baohe Palace.
Bohol Temple. It was only a quarter of an hour before and after, the aunt in charge of Jingyang Palace followed the little eunuch and entered the main hall, and there were three people kneeling in the hall, Concubine Lan and Concubine Qi Shu couldn't run away, and the other was Cardamom from Hehuan Garden.
The old eunuch gave the aunt in charge a look, and the aunt in charge immediately knelt one step behind Concubine Qi, holding the silk brocade skirt that was exactly the same as the cardamom in both hands, and replied respectfully, and replied clearly: "The slave and maid ask the emperor for peace." Xiao Jing's expression was faint, he glanced at the skirt on his aunt's hand, and then looked at the old eunuch, who immediately understood and asked, "Our family asks you, is the skirt on your hand the lady's?" "Aunt in charge said yes.
The old eunuch asked again: "Why is Hehuan Yuan exactly the same?" Didn't you do it?! In the last sentence, he deliberately accentuated.
The aunt in charge was so frightened that her hands trembled, and she eagerly proved her innocence: "Father-in-law, this skirt has been pressed to the bottom of the box, and my mother has not worn it for a long time, as for why there is a similar one in Hehuan Garden, the slave and maid really don't know, but seeing that this skirt has excellent embroidery skills, it is unforgettable, and it is ......."
"And what!" Seeing her spitting, the old eunuch raised his voice. The aunt in charge didn't dare to slack off, and said endlessly: "And when the lady concubine put on this dress, it was the Spring Festival Appreciation Party, and many people in the imperial garden saw it." The implication is that it is not impossible for someone to imitate the style, or even make a dress of the same color to please the emperor, after all, the harem is so big, not everyone knows that this skirt is from Queen Du.
"Your Majesty, the concubine has no intention of harming others." Concubine Qi Shu just rightly expressed her grievances in her heart. Xiao Jing's gaze stayed on her and her aunt's faces for a moment, and then turned to look at Concubine Lan and Cardamom, the look in her eyes became deeper, and she only asked, "Concubine, do you have anything to say?" Peony glanced at the trembling cardamom beside him, and knew that Hehuan Yuan was out of his heart, and there was a way to prevent thieves day and night, and no matter how cautious and cautious he was on weekdays, he couldn't resist people's greed.
How to answer the emperor's question? said that I don't know the origin of the cardamom skirt, who believes it at this juncture?
The emperor really believes in her, will she still kneel here? Retracting her thoughts, Peony just shook her head lightly and spit out
The words "concubine unknown".
"Unclear?" Xiao Jing sneered, looked at Cardamom, and said sharply,
"You say!"
"Return, go back to the emperor's words," Cardamom had to be like sifting chaff, stretched out his index finger, pointed to the people around him, and stumbled in his speech,
"Yes, it's Niangniang......" Just when everyone was waiting for Niangniang to follow, Cardamom suddenly straightened up like crazy, and shouted to Peony like a boat: "Niangniang, the slave is wrong!" Before everyone could react, she got up and rushed to the nearest pillar, and with a muffled thud, her brain was splashing and all the women screamed.
"Emperor, Emperor!" Concubine Qi Shu didn't care about the etiquette, she sat on the ground with her stomach covered, and was easily pulled up by a pair of big hands.
Xiao Jing escorted her behind her and instructed the palace people: "Send Concubine Shu back to the palace!" Call Imperial Doctor Zhong to wait! Then Concubine Qi was hurriedly helped out by a group of palace people, and the whole process was reflected in the autumn water eyes of the peony, which made her deeply understand what it means to be ruthless and the most emperor's family.
Xiao Jing's sweet words on weekdays, half-truths and half-truths, when it comes to the moment, are just empty words, what kind of love is there to talk about with her, is there love between them?
However, the panic of protecting Concubine Qi Shu showed a bit of sincerity. There was a hint of mockery in Peony's eyes, she was just one of the many canaries in the harem...... Even if she has no feelings for him, Xiao Jing is her second man, but he spends much more time with her favorite person at night, which is not a kind of irony.
At the end of the day, she's just a woman. Peony looked at the blue sky outside the Baohe Palace, suddenly felt hopeless, and suddenly understood that the conditions that Xibo Khan had prescribed to her were just to draw a cake for people to think about.
"Slut!" Sending Concubine Qi away, Xiao Jing was full of anger and couldn't control it anymore, stepped forward, slapped Peony viciously, and knocked him to the ground.
Peony's ears were buzzing, only to feel that her mouth was full of fishy sweetness, she subconsciously wiped the warm liquid overflowing from the corner of her mouth, the back of her hand was red, and as soon as she got up, she heard Xiao Jing say angrily: "Someone!" Pull this slut out and put him in Dali Temple for strict interrogation! "It's not the cold palace, it's not the Shen Criminal Division, it's directly imprisoned in Dali Temple, and then the three divisions will be tried, Peony sighed in his heart, didn't shout a word of wrong, and was dragged out of the Baohe Palace.
She didn't shout injustice because she swallowed her anger, but because the emperor ruled that she was guilty, and no matter how much she was wronged, it would be in vain. When Peony was escorted to Dali Temple, the newly appointed Dali Temple Secretary was the Shaoqing who had been raised by Qi Chen, he didn't know the true origin of Peony, but he intuitively felt that this matter was not simple, so he quickly sent someone to ask Dan Ze how to deal with it, because when he searched Fan Lane, Dan Ze suspected Peony, but Shaoqing had little contact.
So the news of Peony's detention spread far and wide, from the Lan family to Qinfu, and it was only two quarters of an hour.
Then it reached Wen Wanrong's ears, she and Qin Yang had just finished bathing, changed into clean clothes, and rested in the back room to talk, and the topic was nothing more than related to today's flower viewing party.
When the two talked about Xingtou, Red Calyx came to spread the word, saying that Mama Qiu of the Lan family was here. Wen Wanrong was a rare guest for her, and was busy inviting her to the flower hall for tea, how could Mama Qiu have the heart to drink tea, took her hand, and said hurriedly: "Madam, my Mrs. Lan has something important to discuss, please go over now!" ”
"What's the matter, so urgent?" Wen Wanrong asked. Mama Qiu hesitated for a moment, leaned into her ear, and whispered a few words.
After hearing this, Wen Wanrong looked at Mama Qiu in surprise for a while, and then confirmed: "People are already in Dali Temple now?" Mama Qiu nodded again and again: "It's the news that Lord Dan's subordinates personally sent to report before." Wen Wanrong pondered for a moment and agreed: "Mama will go to the Weeping Flower Gate first and wait, I'll change my clothes and come." After finishing speaking, he returned to the house, and while putting on his coat, he asked Qin Yang: "Mrs. Lan has something urgent to find me, can you go with me?" Qin Yang didn't care about the female dependents, picked up the book of soldiers and opened it: "You group of ladies talking, are you stupid and old men sitting there?" Wen Wanrong was not in the mood to accompany him to tease him, so she said: "Serious business, maybe Dan Ze will go too, otherwise I won't disturb you reading." ”
"Xiber Dog is going too?" Qin Yang closed the book, frowned and asked,
"What's going on in the Lan family, why are you going to do it?" Wen Wanrong didn't want the people in the mansion to hear it, so she found a clean coat and stuffed it in his hand: "I'll know when I go to the Lan family in a while, Mama Qiu is waiting at the Weeping Flower Gate, let's go over quickly." "I usually go out in a carriage, but today I ride a horse directly...... Qin Yang understood, estimating that there was really something important about the Lan family, he put on his coat three times and five times, took off the two horse whips on the wall, and stuffed one to Wen Wanrong, and the two quickly went out.
When the two of them entered the Lan Mansion Flower Hall, Mrs. Lan and Dan Ze had been waiting for a long time. Qin Yang and Dan Ze regarded each other as nothing, and only talked to Mrs. Lan, Mrs. Lan told the situation before and after, and said anxiously: "I don't know if there is any way for the three of you to rescue my sister, the Lan family will be grateful!" "Question, the emperor personally specified the detention, who dares to save it, and how to save it?
The three of them were silent for a long time and kept silent. Mrs. Lan is a shrewd person, she understands in her heart, and asks with a bit of despair: "Is there only one way for my sister to die?" Qin Yang and Dan Ze didn't speak, which was equivalent to acquiescence.
Only Wen Wanrong hesitated for a while and comforted: "Mrs. Lan, don't worry, there will always be a way, it's just that it happened suddenly, you have to give us time to think of a perfect way." Mrs. Lan sighed: "It's not that I'm embarrassed for you, what kind of place Dali Temple is, you and I both know, I'm afraid that people won't be able to survive in it." ”
"Please rest assured that Mrs., the new Dali Siqing is my old subordinate, I have said hello, so that my sister will not be wronged." Dan Ze thought about it, as if he was saying it to Wen Wanrong,
"It's just that we have to hurry, and we really don't have much time." Dan Ze has been on official business in Dali Temple for two or three years, who can be more familiar with it inside and out than him, even he is vague, how dare Wen Wanrong make a promise.
