Chapter 409: Bloodthirsty Peony (Part II)
Mo Ao frowned, forcibly suppressed the violent emotions in his heart, and asked sharply to the eunuch who came to report to him: "Shangyu Palace is not being repaired, what can happen?" ”
The eunuch looked up at the imperial concubine kneeling beside him, and his body shrank involuntarily, with obvious fear in his eyes. His actions made Mo Ao more and more annoyed in his heart, Xia Jingyan actually had such a high prestige after the harem? This is not a good thing, if it is not my race, its heart will be different, after all, she is a woman from Yuhan: "Say, what happened?" ”
Under Mo Ao's cold questioning, the eunuch didn't dare to hide it, and poured beans to turn the affairs of Shangyu Palace upside down: "Back to the emperor, today the servants and others are repairing the garden of Shangyu Palace, and they want to replace all the fences in the garden with white marble according to the wishes of the imperial concubine, but they don't want to dig it out when they are digging...... Dig it out ......"
"Speak!"
"Yes, the slave doesn't dare to hide it, the emperor spares his life, then the Shangyu Palace dug up two skeletons!"
Looking at the eunuch who kept kowtowing and begging for mercy, Mo Ao's eyes widened suddenly: "What did you say, what did Shangyu Palace dig up?" ”
"Return to the emperor and dig out two skeletons."
Mo Ao's eyes changed, and his dangerous gaze fell on Xia Jingyan, as if he was looking at some monster: "Imperial Concubine, your palace is special, there are bones buried in the garden?" ”
Xia Jingyan's face was pale, with a blank and innocent face, tears kept flowing down, but the exquisite makeup did not have the slightest damage, and the whole person looked like a pear flower with rain: "Your Majesty, how can there be those things in the palace of the concubines, the concubines don't know, it's really terrifying, please ask the emperor to investigate clearly, and give the concubine an innocence." As he spoke, he tilted his body and fell down softly while holding his chest.
Mu Qingya took a step forward, supported Xia Jingyan's fallen body, straightened her, and said, "Imperial Concubine Niangniang, you must pay attention to your body, don't let those who framed you succeed." ”
Xia Jingyan gritted her teeth in her heart and secretly scolded Mu Qingya for being nosy, but she couldn't help but make a grateful look: "Yes, thank you for your concern." ”
Mu Qingya smiled, her fingers brushed Xia Jingyan's wrist, and there was a hint of surprise on her face: "Your Majesty, the imperial concubine Niangniang's body is a little weak, let's ask Niangniang to get up." ”
Mo Ao frowned: "Let's all get up, it's just right, I want to see what happened in Shangyu Palace." As he spoke, he raised his steps and was about to walk out, but before he could reach the door, Shen Ningyu's exclamation sounded:
"Liang Yi, you...... What's going on......"
I saw that on the ground, Liang Yi had fallen to the ground, a large mouthful of dark red blood spit out, lying on the ground and convulsing constantly. And the minions who were originally kneeling on the ground also fell, looking the same as Liang Yi, and after a while, there was no sound, and they all died.
"Your Majesty, these minions ......"
Mu Qingya frowned, and grabbed Shen Ningyu, who wanted to come forward to check: "Jade Concubine Niangniang, you still don't want to come forward, those slaves have been poisoned and are no longer saved." ”
Shen Ningyu covered her lips and exclaimed: "How come, who is so ruthless, these minions are also human lives." ”
Xia Jingyan's face became more and more ugly, and he gritted his teeth with hatred in his heart, eager to drag Liang Yi and the others out to whip the corpse to relieve his hatred, he died at this time, isn't that to prove to the emperor that he killed them to achieve the purpose of extermination?
Mo Ao's eyes swept over Xia Jingyan, and the defense in his eyes became more and more obvious, even with a hint of killing intent.
Xia Jingyan hurriedly spoke: "Your Majesty, these minions ......"
Mo Ao ignored it, turned around and walked towards Shangyu Palace with people.
Xia Jingyan's heart jumped, and the uneasiness in her heart was finally confirmed, Mu Qingya, is this the trap you dug for this palace?
Touching Xia Jingyan's knife-like gaze, Mu Qingya looked back calmly: "What does the imperial concubine have to say to Qingya?" ”
"County Lord, why is it too anxious to fry each other, doesn't the county lord know the truth of cold lips and teeth?"
Mu Qing Yamai had a funny look: "This is exactly what I want to say to the imperial concubine, you and I are also from Yuhan, I have no reason not to help you, and I also helped you get the high position of the imperial concubine, but unfortunately, Niangniang, you were cautious in the concubine position, but now you have almost lost it, and the most dead people in this harem are those who can't recognize themselves." ”
"Hmph, that's a nice thing to say, what do you think you can get if I fall?"
Mu Qingya smiled: "Although I won't get any benefits, at least the gossip outside won't be so intense." ”
Xia Jingyan raised the corners of her lips: "This palace really underestimated you, it turns out that you already know." ”
"People are doing it, the sky is watching, if you want people not to know, unless you do it."
"Heh, yes, I've pushed the rumors outside, but do you think that with my ability, the rumors can spread so widely?"
Mu Qingya was stunned in her heart, and said with a cold gaze: "This makes sense. ”
"Haha, you are making waves in the harem, and even making everyone in the palace retreat from you, do you think this is something that the emperor can tolerate?"
Mu Qingya smiled: "Thank you for your concern, Qingya has her own measure, Niangniang is better to do it herself." After speaking, without waiting for Xia Jingyan to say anything, Duanmu Lingyu, who took Le Qi and Yi Rongcheng into a eunuch, walked straight out.
Xia Jingyan bit her lip fiercely: "Mu Qingya, do you think you can bring down the palace like this?" You think beautifully! ”
Outside the Shangyu Palace, the minions who knelt on the ground did not have very good faces.
Mo Ao walked over, and a guard hurriedly stepped forward to report: "Report to the emperor, the garden of Shangyu Palace has been fenced." ”
"Well, Blood One, go take a look."
As soon as Mo Ao's words fell, a wandering figure appeared in front of him, bowed and saluted, and quickly walked towards the garden of Shangyu Palace.
After Xia Jingyan came, he saw the scene of Xueyi obeying Mo Ao's orders and entering the Shangyu Palace, and his heart sank suddenly, the emperor even sent the blood guard, did he really want to abolish himself, the imperial concubine? Impossible, looking at his appearance just now, isn't he dissatisfied with Mu Qingya? How could you suddenly have to deal with yourself again.
Thinking of Duanmu Lingyu, who was coming soon, Xia Jingyan's heart moved suddenly, the emperor, who intends to suppress Duanmu Mingli's momentum and minimize the impact of Yuhan on Canglan.
Thinking about it, I couldn't help but feel a trace of sadness in my heart, no matter how much I was favored, I couldn't compare to the imperial power, and I couldn't compare to his country.
Mu Qingya turned her head to look at Duanmu Lingyu. Duanmu Lingyu nodded and signaled that everything was arranged. She put her mind at ease and looked at Xia Jingyan's ugly appearance intently, thinking that she also figured it out.
During this time, Yuhan's momentum was flourishing, and there was even a faint momentum of overpowering the canglans, plus Xia Jingyan was the deputy queen in the harem, the queen passed away, the abolished prince Mo Junming died, several princes fought secretly, the Han family was weak, the Situ family was hit, and the form of Canglan was not optimistic, and the most important thing was that Mo Ao's body was no longer good, so to speak, now he was hanging with some precious medicinal materials, that is, the royal foundation was rich, otherwise he would have died a long time ago.
However, although he hit Yu Han, he didn't dare to use too extreme methods, after all, it was not easy to really annoy Yu Han. It was precisely because of this recognition that Mu Qingya became more and more calm in the face of Mo Ao's questioning.
After a while, Xueyi walked out and knelt on the ground and reported: "Back to the emperor, according to the situation in the garden, there are at least twelve people buried in the ground. However, most of them have been relocated, and the two skeletons that were dug up were left behind because they were buried too deeply. ”
Mo Ao's face was pale, he really didn't understand why there were so many demons in his harem all of a sudden, his disgusted eyes fell on Xia Jingyan's body, thinking of the fact that all the palace people in her palace had died overnight, and his heart became more and more taboo: "Who are those who are buried." ”
"There are a lot of clothes left in the soil, most of them are palace maids."
Xia Jingyan's face became more and more ugly, and a trace of despair faintly rose in her heart, does the emperor really not plan to leave her a little way to live?
"Imperial Concubine, what else do you have to say?"
"Your Majesty, concubine...... Concubines...... Yes, those palace people are concubines and let people bury them. ”
Mo Ao's voice was cold: "What a poisonous woman with evil intentions." ”
"Your Majesty, the concubines admit that those workers were ordered to be killed by the concubines, but each of them is innocent. At that time, the concubines had been on the concubine throne for many years, and they were not favored by you, those palace people actually stretched out their hands to the concubines and Han'er, how could they reach out and meddle in the affairs of the concubine's palace The concubines can not care, but they should not attack Han'er, he is the only child of the concubine, and it is also the grace given by the emperor to the concubine, how can the concubine watch the accident with the emperor's child, so they are all innocent. ”
Mu Qingya secretly praised in her heart, a good one to die and then live, Xia Jingyan was a palace concubine before, even killing two palace people is nothing, Mo Ao is taboo that the means she used are too bad, and she caught this.
However, at this point, she must not allow Xia Jingyan to turn over. Eyes skimmed to the side of a cowering grandmother, turned her head to look at Le Qi, shook her head slightly, now that there is a blood guard, Le Qi can't make a move, otherwise it will definitely attract the attention of the blood guard for the first time.
At this time, it was up to Concubine Yu to come out of the way, and stepped forward slightly to Shen Ningyu and said, "Concubine Yu, that grandmother is from Yuntai Palace?" ”
Shen Ningyu was stunned for a moment, looked at Mu Qingya's quiet eyes, and her heart moved suddenly, knowing that this was the best opportunity to bring down Xia Jingyan: "Your Majesty, if you want to come to the Imperial Concubine's sister, she will definitely not make an innocent murderous move, there must be a reason, by the way, that grandmother is the slave of the Imperial Concubine's sister, ask her to know the Imperial Concubine's personality." ”
