Chapter 164: The truth is revealed, the bad things I did in those years
Lady Qiao hid most of the story, and picked up the part that could tell Dong Qianmo. For example, Princess Yu bought Baolan, which attracted wasps to overturn the bird's nest. For example, Baolan is the person who was placed in Nianxiang Palace by Concubine Liu, and she had the idea of exchanging silk eggs and giving them to the second princess to eat.
After listening to Lady Qiao's words, Dong Qianmo was full of surprise, and covered her mouth and said: "The concubine is really, she wants silk eggs, just tell me bluntly, and the whole bowl should be given to the second princess." She, why should she ......"
"What other good did she do?" When the Queen Mother heard this, she turned her head with an annoyed face.
"Uh......" Dong Qianmo wanted to speak and stopped.
"Fourth Miss, let's talk about it!" Lady Joe patted her.
"That's right," Dong Qianmo recalled and said, "Before dinner yesterday, a palace maid sister in Nianxiang Palace asked me to go to the back corner gate and follow a palace maid named Zhao Si, saying that the noble lady wanted to see me. I was timid, and I didn't dare to walk around when I entered the palace for the first time, so I refused. But the palace maid sister had to force me to go, saying that if I didn't go, I would turn around and send a message to the family, so that my mother would hate me and punish me severely. As a last resort, I had no choice but to go. ”
Lady Qiao said suddenly: "No wonder I didn't see the fourth lady during the banquet yesterday, but how do you know that Zhao Si is related to the concubine?" ”
Dong Qianmo continued: "Halfway through, I was scared when it got dark, so I said don't go, let's go again tomorrow when it's dawn, who knows that Zhao Si resolutely refused, grabbed me and didn't let go, and called two eunuchs, tied me up, and locked me in a cold and damp firewood room." I thought I wouldn't survive, so I took charcoal ash and left a line of writing on the wall. ”
The Queen Mother suddenly changed color, and Lady Qiao also asked in shock: "Fourth Miss, you have been kidnapped?!" So how did you get out? ”
Dong Qianmo's eyes flashed, his snow-white cheeks were dyed a little red, he half-lowered his head, and said: "There is a strange son who rescued me, I asked his name, and he said that he was the prince of Yuzhang. Later, I stood outside the palace where I was locked up, remembered the four words 'incense and zhu' on the gold plaque, and asked other palace maids for advice when I came back, only to know that it was the residence of the noble concubine. ”
Lady Qiao said: "Yes, yesterday the prince entered the harem with His Majesty, causing a little trouble, and later I heard from the palace people that the prince stayed in the palace until late, and His Majesty left him to live in Wanfengting." Then he blamed Dong Qianmo, "Fourth Miss, you were kidnapped in the palace, why didn't you say it earlier?" ”
Dong Qianmo said in a low voice: "I don't dare, except for the second sister, I don't know who I can talk to." ”
At this time, the Queen Mother suddenly asked: "The palace maid who forced you to go with Zhao Si, what does she look like?" ”
Dong Qianmo thought for a while, put his fingers on his chin, and said, "It seems that there is a mole here." ”
Lady Qiao immediately told the Queen Mother: "It's Tian Yue!" ”
The Queen Mother gritted her teeth with hatred and said, "It's really lawless!" Right under the nose of the mourning family, kidnapping the guests invited by the mourning family! ”
Dong Qianmo hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Later, when I returned to Nianxiang Palace, I mentioned to the second sister that she was kidnapped, and the second sister also told me that a palace maid took her to the room to paint, and pestered her until dinner to prevent her from leaving the room...... That palace maid is Baolan. ”
Lady Qiao immediately stepped forward and asked Baolan, who had fallen into a half-mad state, "Say!" Why did you pull Miss Dong Er to your room? ”
Bao Lan twitched her pointed chin, and said with a shaking: "Yes, it is the slave who admires the talent of the second young lady......" Because she was missing eight teeth, she spoke leaky.
"Little Kaizi!" The Queen Mother snorted coldly, "Pull out all her remaining teeth for the mourning family!" ”
"Yes!"
The eunuch with the vajra finger stunt lifted Baolan's collar and was about to commit murder again.
"Don't! No! Bao Lan frantically shook her head, avoiding the two long fingers that were sticking out of her mouth, and shouted in despair, "I've done everything!" ”
"Let go, let her speak." The Queen Mother ordered.
The eunuch let go of Baolan, only heard her sobbing twice, and confessed: "Yesterday afternoon, Miss Dong Si showed her stunt, hatched a silk bird with Xiao Sheng, and asked the Queen Mother for silk eggs to eat. It didn't take long for the female official Yin from the concubine to come to the slave maid and say that she would ask Tian Yue to take Miss Dong Si out of Nianxiang Palace, and then let the slave and maid lock Miss Dong Er in the house and not meet anyone......
Lady Qiao asked in a procrastinating tone: "We already know this, let's talk about what we don't know!" How did Mama Tsuta die? ”
Bao Lan shuddered for a moment before she said: "I let the eunuch Pan Fatzi strangle him, and then hang him under the corridor......"
Speaking of which, she finally collapsed due to extreme pain and excessive bleeding.
The queen mother asked the eunuch Xiao Mazi to call the palace maid Tian Yue, Xiao Ming, and the eunuch Pan Fatzi all and kneel in a row under the corridor. In order to prevent there were other spies in the palace, they ran out to ventilate and report the news, and locked the palace door of Nianxiang Palace.
When the three of them saw Baolan's tragic situation, they were so frightened that they all changed color, and their hearts beat drums.
Lady Qiao said: "Who will recruit a few words of truth first?" The last person to say it is the same as her. ”
Although Pan Fatzi and Tian Yue are both people planted by Ningxiang Palace, they hardly even say hello when they meet, and outsiders don't know anything about their relationship. At this time, let them come over and talk back together, it must have been exposed.
So Pan Fatzi confessed first: "It was the concubine Niangniang who sent the slaves and others to come, and the slaves were the first to come in." Six years ago, the Queen Mother was particularly fond of Princess Qianyu and rewarded her with a set of superb jade heads, which was what the concubine wanted. The concubine hated Princess Qianyu, so she put the slave into Nianxiang Palace! ”
"Princess Qianyu ......" The Queen Mother was stunned for a moment, and blurted out a name, "You mean...... Moqin? ”
"Exactly," Pan Fatzi said, "After the Shangjin Bureau has done a good job of this set of faces, the concubine knows that the queen mother does not like luxury jewelry, and the color of the jade is tender green, and most of them will be rewarded to the concubine." Beforehand, in order to prevent the queen from having this opportunity, the concubine sent someone to put the cat in the queen's palace into the bird corridor of Nianxiang Palace and ate two birds. The Queen Mother hated the queen and ordered her to think about it behind closed doors in the palace. So the concubine thought that the head would definitely belong to her, but who knew that Princess Qianyu entered the palace at this time to ask the queen mother for peace, and the queen mother rewarded her without saying a word. ”
Lady Qiao thought about it, immediately recalled this incident, frowned, and said: "But I remember later, Princess Qianyu saw that the concubine had been staring at the concubine, so she begged the queen mother to give it to the concubine, but the concubine insisted on not accepting it?" ”
"The concubine is holding her breath in her heart," Tian Yue took the opportunity to pick up and said, "After returning to the palace, the concubine smashed several makeup dowds on her dresser, and scolded Princess Qianyu in her mouth. ”
Xiao Ming also hurriedly added: "Yes, since then, the concubine has hated Princess Qianyu even more, and often frames her behind her back!" ”
The Queen Mother squinted her eyes and repeated: "More hate? Why did she hate Moqin in the first place? ”
Tian Yue knew a lot about this matter, and hurriedly replied: "When the concubine didn't enter the palace yet, she and the current Princess Yu were good sisters who stuck together all day long, and they were willing to say anything. ”
The Queen Mother said: "No wonder they hit it off." ”
Tian Yue said: "At that time, His Royal Highness King Yu had not yet chosen a concubine, and the famous ladies in the capital were staring at the position of the princess. In the spring of that year, His Majesty led the princes and ministers to hunt in the western suburbs, His Royal Highness King Yu hunted a golden-horned white deer, won the first prize, and His Majesty rewarded a set of Yanling gold armor. At that time, the former Princess Yu was not well known, and it was far less beautiful than the current Princess Yu, so Princess Yu and the concubine both believed that it was the former Princess Yu who intervened sideways and used despicable means to confuse King Yu and become the princess. ”
Pan Fatzi added: "The first time the concubine met Princess Qianyu in the palace, she pushed her into the water, blew the whistle to attract the guards, and wanted the men in the guards camp to rescue her and destroy her reputation. And the water nature of Princess Qianyu is also okay, and she swam ashore by herself after a short time. ”
Tian Yue said again: "What is this? The slave maid also saw with her own eyes that the concubine directly slapped Princess Qianyu in the face! ”
Female Officer Qiao didn't pay attention to Dong Qianmo beside her, and suddenly froze, and asked in surprise, "Why?" ”
Tian Yue didn't know the inside story, but Pan Fatzi was clear, and said: "That's because once, Liu Guifei heard that a messenger from Fanbang offered kyanite to the queen mother, and the queen mother listened to the stonemason's suggestion to cut out a pair of shoes from the kyanite, and also asked the concubine to have four inches in length of her feet, and she extended the shape of the concubine's feet, and the concubine thought that the spar shoes were made for her. Unexpectedly, the Queen Mother saw that the concubine and Princess Qianyu had similar foot sizes, and wanted to reward Princess Qianyu with spar shoes, but she wanted to surprise her, so she asked the concubine about her feet. ”
Lady Qiao said incredulously: "Then the concubine slapped the dignity of the princess because of this?" ”
Xiao Ming hurriedly replied: "This slave and maid know that at that time, the concubine asked the slave and maid to take advantage of the unpreparedness, poured the mermaid tears given by His Majesty into her shoes, and colluded with Qi Guifei, Fang Concubine and others to frame Princess Qianyu for stealing. Even the queen mother believed that this was true, and the concubine was proud to catch the handle of Princess Qianyu, and since then, she has been calling and drinking at her, beating and scolding her like a slave and maid, and she will not even restrain herself in front of our subordinates. ”
When Lady Qiao heard this, she couldn't help but sigh: "Poor and pitiful, no wonder she has been reluctant to enter the palace since that incident." It had to be summoned by the Queen Mother to summon her to the palace. ”
The Queen Mother's eyes were slightly red, wiped away a tear from the corner of her eyes, and said to herself: "It turns out that the truth is like this, after that incident, the mourning family thought that she had done something wrong and was ashamed to see me, so she would enter the palace to ask for peace less often." The mourning family disagreed in her heart, so she often looked at each other coldly, and didn't give her a good look, but she didn't expect that she was really wronged. ”
Seeing that the Queen Mother was very sad, Lady Qiao hurriedly changed the topic and asked, "Why did the concubine deal with Miss Dong Si?" ”
Dong Qianmo was surprised: "Deal with me? The concubine? ”
Tian Yue, who participated in the matter, replied: "I don't know the specifics, the slave only knows that the concubine heard that the fourth lady won the favor of the queen mother because of a pipe of hole flute, and rewarded her with silk eggs, and the concubine wanted to take her away and let the second princess enjoy the egg custard." In the evening, the concubine somehow moved to kill again, and Lady Yin passed on the concubine's clear words, saying that she couldn't let the fourth lady walk out of Nianxiang Palace alive. ”
Dong Qianmo was very scared, and shrank behind Lady Qiao, and Lady Qiao comforted her: "Fourth Miss, don't be afraid, the Queen Mother will make decisions for you." ”
Dong Qianmo said worriedly: "Qianmo is not worried about himself, but he is very sad when he thinks of what happened to Princess Qianyu. The concubine Niangniang is also a master of piano art, and has composed twelve masterpieces in the world, so talented and virtuous, how can she hurt the princess who is also famous for her outstanding piano skills? ”
The Queen Mother didn't hear the hint in Dong Qianmo's words, she was alluding to that Liu Guifei didn't have much common sense of music theory at all, let alone talent.
How could those good songs be made by such a narrow-minded and resentful woman?
At this moment, the Queen Mother just wiped her tears with sadness, shook her head and sighed, and muttered to herself: "The most pitiful thing is Tan'er, last time he told the mourning family that Qin'er was in a bad mood just after giving birth, and he wanted to resign from the affairs of the DPRK and China, take Qin'er to Mingpin City to live for a long time, and let the mourning family explain Qin'er more." The mourning family didn't pay much attention to it, but Qin'er died within a few months. Since then, the mourning family has seen that Tan'er, this child, is very wrong, always going in and out with those national teachers and Taoist elders who seek immortals to visit the Tao, don't you want to become a monk? ”
