Chapter 17: Changing Words
Although his gaze was light, Xiao Fuzi felt that there was an oppressive momentum pressed down, "The slave will do the things that the master explains, and the slave is willing to guarantee with his life." ”
"Good."
It's not that there is anything "liver and brain" and "sword mountain and sea of fire", and there is no more promise, but it is easier for people to believe him, at least, at this moment.
A few words were explained in his ear, but when Xiaofuzi heard it, a cold breath came out of the soles of his feet, "The slave must do it." ”
took Dai Man to Du Chang's place, what she didn't expect was that all the high-ranking people in the palace came.
Gathering his thoughts, "The concubine asks the queen to say goodbye." ”
"Su Guiren's Drunken Cloud Dock is not far from here, why did it take so long to arrive?" The queen was obviously in a bad mood and her tone was not good.
Su Jingxi knew that she had hit the muzzle of the gun, "Back to the queen's mother, because the concubine slept late, so when Sister Du had an accident, she slept a little deeper, and asked the queen to forgive her sins." ”
Because of why you slept late, everyone here understands.
invariably threw a contemptuous look at her, as if to mock her incompetence.
"Alright, let's get up," the queen waved her hand, apparently not wanting to bother with her any more.
Or rather, she obviously has other things to think about now, more important than her.
"Father-in-law Su, what does the emperor say?" The queen saw that the big eunuch beside her came back, and Su Shunxian was there.
Su Shun made a salute for a while, and then said unhurriedly, "If you go back to the queen's mother, the emperor said that the queen mother will handle it with full authority, but it's just ......"
Speaking of this, there was a pause, "Just how?" The queen said hurriedly.
"The emperor's words."
Everyone knelt down.
"Su Shunxian, you go and tell the queen, if she still can't handle this matter well, then it's better to let Xian as soon as possible, after all, I haven't had a male heir for many years, because of what, my queen must be very clear."
The queen's body trembled uncontrollably when she heard this, but the palace maid next to her quickly supported her.
"Father-in-law Su, the emperor ...... him"
"Niangniang, what the emperor said, the slaves told Niangniang word for word, Niangniang, the emperor only said that this is the last time, and the slaves advised Niangniang, or have more snacks to satisfy the emperor."
"The slave has to go back to serve the emperor, so I won't disturb the queen," Su Shun said and bowed and withdrew, without saying anything.
The queen's eyes were gloomy for a while, she never thought that the emperor would let people say these heartfelt words in public, and she really didn't have any face left for her.
Su Jingxi watched this scene quietly, she didn't feel anything, how the queen was, and she never had much to do with her.
There is no queen, there are others, after all, there are too many people standing above her.
It's just that from Su Shunxian's words, Zong Zhengjin must really dislike the queen.
Will he one day be so disgusted with her?
People who have always been in the queen's faction are very worried, such as Concubine Xian, such as Xiang Jieyu.
But more, such as Concubine Shu, is more excited, will the queen be deposed?
Will it be Shu Guifei who will sit on the phoenix seat? Or is it her?
No matter how weird the minds of the people below are, the queen is now unable to protect herself, obviously she doesn't want to care about them, she just wants to find out who it is?
Who put the safflower in Du Changzai's food?
The amount is very small, and I have put a little bit in every meal in the past few days, so I have carried it until now.
"How's Du Changzai?" When Concubine Xian saw the imperial doctor come out, the queen looked stunned again, so she had to speak.
The imperial doctor saluted, "Ask the queen for forgiveness, Du Chang stayed in the safflower eaten by mistake for too long, although the fetus is protected, but I am afraid that it will be ...... There will be some unsoundness. ”
The imperial physician knew that he was guilty, and he did not say much at the moment, so as not to arouse the greater anger of the people above, and explained it clearly in the least words.
"Unsound?" Concubine Shu was surprised and said loudly.
The Imperial Doctor smiled bitterly, "I'm afraid I'll be a stupid person." ”
"Stupid?" The queen repeated, "You do your best to protect the fetus, Du Changzai's fetus will be handed over to you, if there is a slight difference, this palace is the only one who asks." ”
"Weichen obeys the order," the imperial doctor was bitter in his heart, but he didn't dare to say a word against it.
Those who are ministers are like grass mustard.
"Niangniang...... "Huizhu is the queen's dowry maid, loyal and very worried, but the most important thing at this moment is naturally to deal with the things that the emperor has to deal with.
The queen naturally understood, and solemnized her heart, "Bring everyone to the palace." ”
After a day, it is time to do what a queen should do, and where is the turn to say what others say.
Several eunuchs immediately brought everyone up, two palace maids and one eunuch.
They have all been tortured, and they have been cleaned up.
Su Jingxi recognized that one of the palace maids was the palace maid next to Du Wanru, who seemed to be called Pei'er, and often followed her to Kunning Palace to ask for peace.
"You dog slaves, if you give a good explanation, this palace can leave you a whole corpse, if you keep your mouth shut, or want to frame you, don't blame this palace for punishing you," the queen slapped the table heavily and shouted.
The hall was very quiet, and Su Jingxi only felt that the queen was afraid that she was also in a hurry.
The eunuchs and palace maids were obviously a little relaxed when they heard this, but they didn't say anything.
"Do you expect your master to save you? Think about your family and decide before it's too late," the queen said coldly.
She has learned how to take care of the inner courtyard and manage the affairs of the house since she was a child, so she naturally knows what is most important to these minions.
"The slave and maid said, the slave and maid have all confessed, and I hope that the queen will forgive the slave and maid's family," said Pei'er, the palace maid who was often by Du Chang's side.
"Say."
"The slave doesn't know which palace it is, she wears a cloak and covers her face every time she comes, the slave only knows that she is a woman, and gives the slave a pack of medicine, and asks the slave to find a way to put it in Du Changzai's food, the slave and the maid really have no choice, the slave and the maid are sick and needs silver to cure the disease, the slave and the maid ......"
To say it is to say nothing.
"Where's the medicine?" Concubine Xian asked.
"The medicine was buried by the slave and maid on the ground next to the transept, and the slave and maid ......"
The queen motioned to the eunuch next to her, and someone went to find medicine, "Take her down to blame." ”
After a while, I heard Pei'er's cry from the courtyard, hoarse, deliberately not covering her mouth, and everyone in the hall heard it clearly.
When the voice faded down, "What about the two of you?" Do you have something to say? ”
The two of them shrank even more, "the slave doesn't know ......"
The queen didn't say anything this time, and directly signaled to take people down, as for what to do with them, everyone present knew very well.
"What about you?" The queen rubbed her forehead, already a little tired.
The rest of the palace maid trembled, "Slave maid...... And the slave and maid said, Yes...... It's Su Guiren......"
Looking up and pointing at Su Jingxi, I saw her smiling slightly, her hands trembled, as if she suddenly remembered something, and she didn't dare to speak again.
"Oh? What is Su Guiren? Someone then asked, among whom Concubine Shu was the worst.
"Su Guiren...... Su Guiren ......, "The palace maid said two words, but she couldn't continue, and crawled to Su Jingxi's feet.
didn't dare to pull her skirt, just kept kowtowing, "The slave knows that Su Guiren is kind-hearted, begging Su Guiren to help the slave and maid, the slave and maid are cheap, there is a young brother at home, the slave maid entered the palace, he was just born, the slave and the maid are willing to make cattle and horses for Su Guiren in the next life, and ask Su Guiren to help the slave and maid......"
The people here have different thoughts, there must be a lot of articles here, is it a frame-up or a temporary change of words?
"Speak clearly," said the Queen, who clearly saw the opportunity, and said with a reluctance to give up.
Xiang Jieyu also came to make a kick at this time, "That is, to make it clear, what is Su Guiren doing to you, you dare to plead with her, but what did she promise you?" ”
Su Jingxi was a little funny when she heard this, was she really resented by so many people? With such explicit words, is he really not afraid of offending her?
"No, the slave just knows that Su Gui is kind-hearted, so I want to beg her to help the slave and maid......"
"You mean you're not going to recruit anything?" Concubine Xian said.
"The slave is willing to die......"
"If you want to die, this palace will not let you die, come on, bring her down to this palace," the queen snorted coldly, not wanting to entangle here.
It was dawn outside, and nothing came out, "Sisters, go back first, you don't have to go to say hello today." ”
The queen glanced at everyone, and finally her eyes stayed on Su Jingxi and said.
Su Jingxi looked at her open-mindedly, and hooked the corners of her mouth self-deprecatingly, but she was extremely funny in her heart.
This kind of aggrieved look of looking at your opponent who wants to kill you but can't do it is really enjoyable.
Back to Zuiyunwu, "Is Xiaofuzi back?" ”
"I came back a quarter of an hour ago, and my master wants to see him?" Listening to Yao has been staying in Zuiyunwu, and said when he heard the words.
Su Jingxi rubbed her forehead, "Let him in." ”
Xiaofuzi came in and saluted, "Master, everything has been done, and the master is really like a god." ”
"Hmph," Su Jingxi snorted coldly, "This palace just wants to have peace of mind, people don't offend me, and I won't go to trouble others." ”
"Stand down and get some rest."
"Master?" Ting Yao stood aside, one of the few people who knew how things were going.
"Since she came to offend me, then don't blame me."
Ting Yao was a little puzzled, "Master, didn't you say before that Xiaofuzi might be the emperor's person?" ”
After they secretly observed for so long, they found that the origin of Xiaofuzi may be a chess piece planted by the emperor.
"Therefore, this matter needs to be handled by him, do you think that in this palace, there is something that can be hidden from the emperor? As long as he wants to know," Su Jingxi got up and entered the inner room.
Ting Yao removed the hairpin ring on her head, "The master took a risky move. ”
"Yes, wealth has been in danger since ancient times, after passing this level, it will be fine in the future, do you think I can win the bet?"
Listening to Yao's beautiful face in the bronze mirror, "The master's posture is becoming more and more eye-catching, and the master's luck is never bad." ”
"Luck? yes, I've never had bad luck. ”
I hope it will be the same this time.
