Chapter 13: Frame-Trapping
The days passed like this, and the emperor's favorite was still Concubine Shu, who often sent flowing rewards to Chonghua Palace.
followed by Lingmeiren, An Guiren, and Su Jingxi.
"Master, Du Changzai was punished by Chang Xiaoyi to kneel in Lotus Lake," Dai Man walked in and said.
Su Jingxi raised her head when she heard this, "Do you know what's going on?" ”
"I heard that it was because of a palace maid," paused, "It seems that it was because this palace maid collided with Chang Xiaoyi, but Chang Xiaoyi thought it was Du Changzai." ”
Su Jingxi sneered, the two of them had bullied her together a few days ago, and they didn't expect to fight each other so soon.
"Let's go and see, it's next to Guan Ju Palace."
When I walked over, I saw a lot of people gathered here from a distance, with Du Chang kneeling on the ground, and two palace maids.
One of them, who was beaten with a blue nose and swollen face.
"Sister Su is here too," Chang Xiaoyi said with a smile when she saw her coming.
Su Jingxi just didn't see it, "The concubine asked Chang Xiaoyi to say goodbye." ”
"Hurry up, you don't have to wait for the meeting, what's uncomfortable," Chang Xiaoyi said coldly, turning her head away from looking at her again.
"Sister Su, I heard that this palace maid used to serve you," Ruan Meiren on the side leaned over and said.
Su Jingxi was a little puzzled, frowned and glanced at the palace maid kneeling on the ground several times, only to find that it was the half-blue who served her during the draft.
Before Su Jingxi could speak, a eunuch shouted, "The queen has arrived." ”
All the people knelt down and saluted, "Get up, all." ”
"Ah, blood, there is blood...... "Qi Guiren pointed to Du Changzai's skirt and said.
For a while, everyone leaned over to look, and between the lightning and flint, Ruan Meiren fell to the ground, "Ah, my stomach, my stomach ......"
"Go to Imperial Doctor Xuan," the queen hurriedly said, "Carry everyone to Chuxiu Palace." ”
Su Jingxi frowned and glanced at Dai Xia behind her, seeing that her expression was as usual, but she was faintly uneasy in her heart.
Everything happened just now so fast that she didn't have time to see it clearly, Ruan Meiren was standing next to her, it stands to reason that as long as she didn't fall by herself, it was her, Dai Xia, her own palace maid, and Shangguan Mei, and her palace maid, one of them pushed her.
Everyone stayed in the side hall of Chuxiu Palace, and when they saw someone coming in, "See the emperor." ”
Zong Zhengjin was upset, waved his hand, and sat in the top position, "How is it?" ”
The queen was obviously a little frightened, and sorted out the wording, "Back to the emperor, the concubine only knew that Sister Du was punished for kneeling, and when she rushed over, she was already red, and Sister Ruan ......"
Speaking of this, she raised her head and glanced at Su Jingxi, "She suddenly fell, and the concubine didn't see it clearly, but it was Sister Su standing next to her at that time......"
Su Jingxi secretly said in her heart that it was not good, she knew that she was in trouble.
I don't know if this is a coincidence or a design by someone with a heart, one link after another, whether Du Chang is pregnant or not, but Ruan Meiren is pregnant, she must know, calculate the time, and count the child on her head.
Perhaps, because of Banlan, the child who Du Chang is here will also be counted on her head.
Without waiting for Su Jingxi to stand up and speak, the imperial doctor came out of it, "Back to the emperor, Du Changzai's fetus has been saved, but it is a little unstable, the time is still shallow, you need to recuperate well in the future, it's just Ruan Meiren...... The minister is incompetent and asks the emperor for forgiveness. ”
No matter what everyone thinks in their hearts, they only make a sad attitude when they hear the words.
The queen first heard that Du Changzai's fetus had been saved, and she couldn't help but feel a little regretful, and then she couldn't help but be a little happy when she heard that Ruan Meiren's fetus was gone.
adjusted his mood and wiped his tears with a handkerchief, "Your Majesty, Sister Ruan, she ......"
The queen is naturally not the only one who knows how to do the best, the wall is down and everyone pushes it, there are no eternal enemies, only common interests.
"Sister Su, she may not have done ......it on purpose," Concubine Shu seemed to be a little unbearable, and said weakly.
Xiang Jieyu also said, "Yes, Sister Su, she is still young, but I am afraid that she will be eager to see the excitement, and she will not be able to ......."
"You've all seen it with your own eyes?" Zong Zhengjin didn't wait for her to finish, and said coldly.
Seeing that his face was expressionless, his pupils were dark, the queen couldn't guess his thoughts, and she didn't dare to say it too directly, "The palace maid who collided with Chang Xiaoyi before served Su Guiren in the draft. ”
"Your Majesty, the concubine felt that it was not necessarily Sister Su, there were many people at that time, even if Ruan Meiren fell, it didn't mean that it must be Sister Su's fault, maybe it was someone else, after all, Sister Su was not the only one standing there," An Guiren stood up and said.
For a while, no one spoke, and probably no one thought that she would help Su Jingxi speak.
For a long time, Zong Zhengjin didn't know what he was thinking, so he raised his head and asked Su Jingxi, "Do you have anything to say?" ”
Su Jingxi walked out, knelt on the ground, and lowered her head, "Back to the emperor, although the concubine was standing beside Ruan Meiren at that time, she didn't see what was going on, but ......"
Speaking of this, he looked up at him and looked at each other, "The concubine definitely didn't push her." ”
"Nonsense, you pushed it, you killed my child......" Suddenly, Ruan Meiren ran out of the inner room and pointed at Su Jingxi and said.
"Your Majesty, the emperor wants to be the master of the concubine, and the concubine's child is wronged...... The Emperor ......"
"Take it down, what kind of body is it to cry and cry," Zong Zhengjin waved his hand impatiently.
The queen walked over and motioned to the palace maid and eunuch next to her, "Sister Ruan, rest well, the emperor will definitely make decisions for your children." ”
There is no exact witness, and even if there is a witness, what he said may not be true, and the most important thing in the palace is to be framed.
"Your Majesty, look at this ......," the queen seemed to be very embarrassed, "or send those palace maids to ask?" ”
Zong Zhengjin nodded, and Su Shunxian hurriedly asked people to bring those palace maids up.
"Tell me, what was the situation at that time, and why did you collide with Chang Xiaoyi? It's best to confess your guilt according to the truth, otherwise the Shen Criminal Division will be your end," the queen asked directly about another matter since she couldn't say one thing clearly.
Banlan had already been tortured, and shrunk when she heard the words, "The slave maid was ordered by my aunt to go to Du Changzai to send this month's share, when I passed through Lotus Lake, I didn't see Du Changzai, and accidentally bumped into her, but I didn't expect Chang Xiaoyi to be behind Du Changzai, and then Chang Xiaoyi said that Du Changzai was rushing into her, and the slave maid was ......."
"The concubine doesn't know who collided with whom, I only know that it was Du Changzai who bumped into the concubine at that time, so I punished her for kneeling, the concubine really didn't know that she was pregnant, I begged the emperor to forgive ...... sin" Chang Xiaoyi cried.
"Do you know that Du Changzai is already happy, but someone instructed him?" The queen slapped the table, ignored Chang Xiaoyi, and asked sharply.
Banlan kowtowed again and again, "Back to the queen, the slave really doesn't know, I don't know where Du Changzai is......"
"Nonsense, obviously you know where I am, that's why you rushed out and caused me to be punished by Chang Xiaoyi for kneeling, and almost caused me to have a miscarriage," Du Chang walked out with the support of the palace maid and said crying.
The beauty was a beautiful beauty with tears, but Zong Zhengjin didn't even give her a look.
"Since you don't say it, it's just that you collided with Du Changzai, it's also a capital crime, come on, drag it down......" The queen waved her hand.
Banlan fell to the ground again and again, "Tell me, the slave and maid said," and glanced up at Su Jingxi, "Master, please let go of the slave and maid's family for the sake of the slave and maid's loyal protection of the master." ”
As he spoke, he hit the stone pillar on the side, and immediately broke his head and bled out, killing him on the spot.
The queen and the others covered their mouths with handkerchiefs and waved their hands, and someone dragged the body down, and in less than a moment, the ground was also cleaned.
If it weren't for the faint smell of blood in the air, I wouldn't have known that a human life had been lost here a few minutes ago.
When a person is dead, she can't confront her, and she can't prove her innocence.
"Su Guiren, what else do you have to say?"
Su Jingxi still only looked at the emperor, and showed a faint smile when she heard the words, "The concubine has nothing to say, if the concubine also needs to die to prove the innocence of the concubine, the concubine is willing to die." ”
Zong Zhengjin frowned when he heard this, "Leave everyone to the Shen Criminal Division, torture to extract confessions, and Su Guiren is grounded in Zuiyunwu." ”
…………
"Master, are you alright?" Hearing Yao seeing her coming back, she hurriedly asked.
Su Jingxi shook her head, physically and mentally exhausted, "I'm fine." ”
"Is it really Daixia?" Dai Man was a little nervous, they had all heard what had happened.
Su Jingxi thought for a long time, she felt that this person should not be Dai Xia, although she may have another master, but when she saw her expression today, she really didn't find anything abnormal, and she seemed to be surprised.
"I don't know, I want to rest, don't bother me if you have nothing to do," he said, turning and entering the inner room.
Who has benefited the most?
Empress? Shu Guifei? Except for Ruan Meiren, who lost her child, it seems that everyone has benefited, and Ruan Meiren is not necessarily without benefits, a child can be exchanged for many rewards, positions, and the emperor's mercy.
It seems that she is still careless, but she wants to know if what he said that day will protect her is true, or what can be done for her.
Zichen Palace
Zong Zhengjin leaned back on the dragon chair and closed his eyes, "Go and check it out for me." ”
In the empty hall, there was an answer, "Yes, my subordinates obey." ”
As if nothing had happened, Su Shunxian heard a voice in the hall, hurriedly went in, and stood aside.
"What do you think of today's events?"
Su Shun raised the dust, "Doesn't the emperor already have an answer in his heart?" ”
Zong Zhengjin didn't get angry, but chuckled, "When did you dare to use these words to perfunctory?" ”
"The slave doesn't dare, the emperor has already seen through what the slave thinks in his heart, so he doesn't say it to disturb the emperor's hearing and hearing, and the emperor knows it."
"Hmph," Zong Zhengjin snorted coldly, "Send someone to send some rewards to Du Changzai, and Ruan Meiren will be named Xiaoyi, and Chang Xiaoyi will be reduced to a beauty." ”
