Chapter Ninety-Seven: Wronged

Shangguan Yueyun was stunned when she heard this, and asked, "Back to the emperor, the concubine doesn't know what happened?" ”

"Queen, you really don't know?" Murong Rin said coldly.

"The concubine really doesn't know, please ask the emperor to make it clear!" Shangguan Yueyun had never seen Murong Rin face him so harshly, and her tone was full of grievances.

"In that case, I will tell you. Concubine Shu was unwell a few days ago, not because she was not adapted, but because she was poisoned! Imperial Physician Li said that Concubine Shu was poisoned by a flower, and this flower was called oleander. Murong Rin said as he watched Shangguan Yueyun's reaction.

But Shangguan Yueyun's eyes were still very firm, and she didn't dodge at all, Murong Rin thought to herself: Could it be that he thought wrong and blamed the wrong queen?

Shangguan Yueyun looked at Murong Rin in disappointment and said, "Could it be that the emperor thinks that Concubine Shu's poisoning is related to the concubine?" I have never heard of the oleander concubines mentioned by the emperor, let alone use oleanders to harm the concubines! ”

"Then Queen, can you explain why there are so many oleanders in your back garden?" Murong Rin asked, pointing to this piece of oleander.

Shangguan Yueyun thought to herself: Not good! Although this has nothing to do with the main palace, this oleander is a unique flower of Sutan, which is also cultivated through the flower house, and it is estimated that it is rare to see it in this palace. In this way, there are so many oleanders in his palace, it is difficult to make the emperor believe it for a while.

Shangguan Yueyun said calmly: "The emperor can't just rely on this to determine that the concubine is the one who poisoned the concubine!" ”

"This oleander was born in the country of Sutan, so it needs to be cultivated in the flower room, so it is rare to see this peach tree in China." Murong Rin said word by word.

"Then this can't be said to be the fault of the concubine, there should be this oleander tree in other places in the palace."

"Someone!"

"See the emperor, the minions are here!" The guard walked in and asked.

"Go and ask the flower room, where else are oleanders in the palace?"

"No!"

"Queen, you'll know in a while, don't you really have anything to confess to me?" Murong Rin asked.

Shangguan Yueyun looked at Murong Rin fixedly and said, "Please believe in the concubine, although this flower was brought back from the flower house, the concubine really didn't know that it was oleander, and she didn't know that it was poisonous." ”

At this time, the servant who had just been sent came back and said, "Back to the emperor, the steward of the flower house has come." ”

"Okay, please let him in." Murong Rin said.

"See the emperor, see the queen!" The housekeeper of the flower room, Bai Gonggong, came in and said.

"Bai Gong's fair body!" Murong Rin said.

"I don't know what the emperor commands?" White justice.

"What kind of flower is this?" Murong Rin pointed to the oleander road not far away.

Bai Gonggong has been facing flowers for a long time, so he can recognize what kind of plant this is at a glance.

"Back to the emperor, this is a unique oleander tree in the Sutan Kingdom. It took some time to grow some new oleander trees in the flower house. There are not many, only more than a dozen, all of which are here with the queen's mother. "Bai Gong is fair.

"Are you sure? Isn't there a single plant in the other palaces, why don't you tell the palace that oleanders are poisonous when you take oleanders in this palace?! Shangguan Yueyun listened to Gonggong Bai's words, and her tone was very anxious, thinking: It is difficult to clear up by jumping off the Yellow River this time.

Unexpectedly, Bai Gonggong still had a reason to say: "Queen Qiyu, this is a newly cultivated flower this year, and there is only this batch." The minions didn't know that the oleander was poisonous. It's just that the queen said that it was very beautiful when she saw this flower, so the oleanders in the flower room were given to the mother, and there were no oleanders in other parts of the palace. ”

Murong Rin said, "You stand down." ”

"No!" White justice.

"In the palace, only the queen has oleanders, does the queen have anything else to say?"

"Your Majesty! The concubine is wronged! Even the father-in-law of the flower house didn't know that this oleander was poisonous, how could the concubine know. And if the concubine wants to poison the concubine, how can she choose such an easy way to find out to harm her. In addition, which slave and maid secretly picked this oleander in the back garden from the concubine, and the concubine didn't know it! Shangguan Yueyun explained.

Although Murong Rin was a little suspicious of Shangguan Yueyun, he thought: What the queen said is not unreasonable. It is also very common to borrow a knife to kill.

"Although the queen said so, you are still suspicious. It's best if you're innocent, and if I find out that this matter has something to do with you, I won't spare it! After Murong Rin finished speaking, he strode away.

"Your Majesty! Emperor! The concubine is really wronged! Shangguan Yueyun chased after Murong Rin and said.

Murong Rin didn't reply: "Seat the concubine." ”

Shangguan Yueyun sat paralyzed on the ground, and Ah Qing said distressedly: "Niangniang! You're alright, it's cold on the floor, let's go back to our room. ”

Shangguan Yueyun returned to the room with Ah Qing's support, and Shangguan Yueyun said listlessly: "Ah Qing, this palace is tired, you go out." ”

"! If you are not feeling well, the slave maid will call the doctor to come and take a look at you! Ah Qing saw that Shangguan Yueyun was not quite right, and was very worried.

"No need, there is nothing uncomfortable in this palace, I just want to be alone."

"No!" Ah Qing thought to herself: She has never seen such a queen, will something happen? The Queen Mother has always loved the queen, no, this matter must be told to the Queen Mother!

"Empress Dowager Qiqi, there is a palace maid outside the palace who asks to see her, the old slave has seen her, she is Aqing in the queen's palace." Mama said.

The Queen Mother held a string of Buddhist beads in her hand and closed her eyes and silently recited Buddhist scriptures. Hearing Mama's words, she stopped and asked, "The palace maid in the queen's palace?" What's the matter? ”

Mama replied: "Back to the Queen Mother, the palace maid said that there was an urgent matter, and it was about the queen's mother." Queen Mother, do you see it or not? ”

"Call her in! The mourning family wants to see what this little slave has to say. ”

"Ginseng ... See... Dowager! Although this is not the first time Aqing has seen the Queen Mother, it is the first time she has seen the Queen Mother alone.

Looking at the trembling little slave in front of her, the Queen Mother asked, "I heard that you are looking for the mourning family, right?" You are the personal palace maid next to the queen, you don't serve the queen well in the Jiaofang Palace, why did you come here to mourn the house? ”

"Return... Dowager... That's the case, the queen has been depressed recently, and always likes to hide alone in the room, and the slave is worried that the queen will not be able to think about it. The slave knows that the queen mother loves the queen mother, so the slave and maid dare to ask the queen mother to go and see my mother! "Ah Qingdao.

"What a loyal slave, then you tell the mourning family, why is your mother depressed?" The Queen Mother asked.

"That's right, today's lunch emperor went to the Jiaofang Hall for lunch, after lunch... Ah Qing told the Queen Mother the cause of the incident as it was.

The Queen Mother nodded and said, "Well, the mourning family knows." You go back to take care of the queen first, and the mourning family will go to see the queen later. ”

Ah Qing knelt down and said, "Empress Dowager Xie!" Empress Dowager Xie! ”

After Ah Qing left, the Queen Mother asked Mama, "Do you believe that the queen will poison Concubine Shu?" ”

Mama said: "The old slave is afraid! ”

The Queen Mother smiled and said: "Mama, you have been with the mourning family for many years, and you have always been so cautious in your words, you really can't find the slightest mistake." ”

Mama also smiled and said: "It's not because the Queen Mother is magnanimous, even if the old slave said the wrong thing, the Queen Mother has never blamed the old slave." ”

"This time, the mourning family will also exempt you from guilt, and you will tell your true thoughts to the mourning family." The Queen Mother said.

"The old slave thinks the queen won't do this!"

"Oh? How can you be so sure that the queen will not poison the concubine out of love and jealousy? Get rid of Concubine Shu while her foundation is not stable? The Queen Mother asked with interest.

"First, if the queen wants to start, the best time is on the way back to the palace, the queen doesn't need to wait until she returns to the palace to do it herself, and let the emperor know that there are oleanders in her back garden! Second, the queen has been married to the royal family for many years, and she has always adhered to her duties and has never been jealous of any concubine. So the old slave thinks that the queen is definitely not the one who poisoned her. Mama said.

The Queen Mother nodded with satisfaction and said: "The mourning family has watched the queen grow up since she was a child, and Yueyun's temperament is more clear to the mourning family, she will not do such a thing." Even you can see it, why can't the emperor see it?! It seems that the emperor has really changed a lot, and he doubts the queen for the sake of a concubine. Okay, you go to the Jiaofang Palace with the mourning family to see the queen! ”

"No!"

"Knock knock knock ~ Back to the queen mother, the queen mother is here!" Ah Qing said outside the door.

A weak voice came from the door: "Then please come in!" Go and prepare a good pot of tea for the Queen Mother. ”

Squeak~ The Queen Mother pushed the door and came in, and saw Shangguan Yueyun's face pale and pale.

The Queen Mother said distressedly: "Silly boy, why do you torture yourself like this? ”

"The queen mother, the concubine really didn't poison the concubine, the emperor would have believed the concubine before, but the emperor this time... I don't believe in concubines. ”

The Queen Mother sighed and said: "Queen, the mourning family believes in you, the emperor may have been confused for a while so he wronged you, the mourning family knows that you feel uncomfortable, but the mourning family has told you before, you must look at it." No one's favor lasts for a lifetime. If you marry into the palace wall, you must be prepared for Dugu's heart. Look at the way you look now, where else do you look like the mother of a country? If you really want to regain your heart, you have to listen to the advice of the mourning family. ”

"Okay, I'll listen! I will listen to whatever you say, Queen Mother. Shangguan Yueyun saw that the Queen Mother seemed to want to help herself, and immediately became energetic.

"Now go to the shower and change clothes first, and then accompany the mourning family to the garden for a walk, don't keep locking yourself in your room." The Queen Mother said.

"The concubine obeys!" Shangguan Yueyun stood up and took a shower and changed clothes, and changed into a new outfit. It looks a lot more energetic than just now.

The Queen Mother nodded with satisfaction and said, "Take a closer look, the Queen is a rare beauty. ”

"Empress Dowager Xie's praise!" Shangguan Yueyun heard the Queen Mother praise herself, her heart blossomed, and the unhappiness just now suddenly disappeared.

"Accompany the mourning family to the pond to enjoy the lotus! I heard that a new batch of koi fish has been released in the pond recently, and it is very beautiful! ”

"No!"

"Queen, you see, how cheerful the koi fish are in this lotus pond, as long as you lightly sprinkle feed into the pond, they are so cheerful and carefree." The Queen Mother said.

"Yes, the Queen Mother said yes. This koi fish is indeed adorable! Concubines. Vomit... Shangguan Yueyun didn't finish speaking, she covered her mouth and retched.

The Queen Mother looked at Shangguan Yueyun in surprise and asked, "Empress, you won't be happy, right?" ”
