Chapter Fifty-Six: Misfortune Leads to the East
Yuehua couldn't help but want to pull this Lan Cai man who was in the mud, she was not a good person, nor was she a Guanyin Bodhisattva who saved suffering, she hurt her feelings because of this kind of thing.
Before she could open her mouth, she just owed a debt, and was pulled by Mama Qin behind her, pulled her clothes very resolutely, and frowned slightly.
The heat that Yuehua rushed to her brain gradually cooled down, she understood her situation, except for the flower frame that the Empress Dowager set up for herself, the position of a queen, she was nothing, and now she was still crumbling at the top, and someone else's finger might be in danger of overturning, where was she qualified to care about the strengths and weaknesses of others?
In addition, if she pleaded for Lan Cairen today, she would be a little ignorant, not only offending the Queen Mother, but also refuting the face of the Queen Mother.
Yue Huaqiang suppressed his impulse, didn't look at the Lan Cairen on the ground, and said ruthlessly: "Everything depends on the queen mother and the emperor." ”
The Queen Mother turned her gaze to the emperor, who had been silent, and sighed regretfully: "This girl is also a little bolder, and she can't stay no matter what." ”
Lan Cai's body was shocked, and he seemed to have understood that he was afraid that he would be in a catastrophe today, and the light in his eyes dimmed little by little. She finally looked at Mo Guhan, who was high above, tears accumulated in her eyes, Ying Ying trembled, and she couldn't help herself. is such a pretended to be strong, and on her pure and transparent baby face, it looks even more pitiful to me.
"Your Majesty, Huai'en's parents died since he was a child, and he was displaced, but fortunately you have pity, and he is already grateful, knowing that his posture is as humble as dust, and he dare not think about it. Today, he was framed by his sisters, and he was wronged, no matter how he was punished, Huaien had no complaints, but asked the emperor to believe that Huaien was innocent. ”
The words were like weeping, only moving the listeners. Mo Guhan's handsome and peerless face was still expressionless, he only lowered his eyes, and indifferently glanced at Lan Ting, who was mournful on the ground, his lips moved, but he didn't spit out a word. The facial features carved by the knife and axe still seemed to be cast in stone, and there was no emotion.
Yuehua thought that it would be better if he didn't open his mouth, lest he say something hurtful and make this already poor person even more disheartened.
He will never open his mouth to intercede for Lan Cairen, as long as the harem is harmonious and calm, the life of a girl does not matter.
The tears in Lan Cairen's eyes finally couldn't bear its weight, like the water that broke the embankment, surging down. The eyes that have lost the moisture of tears gradually withered and eclipsed,
She kowtowed heavily to Mo Guhan, propped up her heavy body with her hands, stood up resolutely, and clenched her fists: "Then Huai'en now has only the will to die." ”
Mo Guhan's hand in the cuff suddenly moved, and as soon as it was lifted, it fell down again and retracted into the cuff of the golden silk embroidered auspicious cloud.
There was a gilded pillar of the dragon behind Yuehua, Lan Cairen's gaze slowly swept over, smiled at Yuehua, and pounced in her direction without hesitation, containing the strength of the whole body.
Yuehua didn't think about it, she got up suddenly, raised her arm sideways, and stopped her, the strong momentum made Yuehua stagger back two steps, and her whole body leaned back, and she was about to fall down on her back to the sky.
A gust of wind swept by, and with the smell of aged ambergris, Yuehua felt herself fall into a rock-solid arm. The arm was hard and powerful, directly and steadily lifting her involuntarily falling body, but because of Lan Cairen's momentum, her waist suddenly burst into a tearing pain, frowning, and snorting.
Before she had time to feel the steadiness brought to her by the end of her arm, Mo Guhan had already snorted disdainfully: "I don't have to measure myself." Then he pulled out, lifted the hem of his clothes, and sat upright, as if nothing had happened.
Is he saving himself, or is he Lan Cairen? This was the first thought that flashed through Yuehua's mind after she barely stood still, and the consolation that followed was that no matter who Mo Guhan saved, it showed that he was not really ruthless, and that was enough.
The Lancai people are saved today.
The crane concubine, concubine and others in the hall all came to their senses in an instant, stood up "pout", and waited for the show to start.
"Queen Mother!" Lan Cairen opened his eyes and saw that Yuehua stopped him, and he knew that he was saved today, as if he was in a desperate situation, and the grievances in his heart couldn't help but burst out, and he cried when he hugged her.
Yuehua felt that her waist began to ache faintly again, and it must have been a lot worse this time, holding her on her back with one hand, and holding her waist with the other, grinning a little.
Seeing this, Mama Qin knew that she must have flashed her waist again, and she couldn't help it, so she hurriedly stepped forward to comfort Lan Cairen: "Lan Cairen should be lighter, my mother has a waist disease." ”
Lan Cairen hurriedly let go of his hand, his body slid down like flowing water, and knelt on the ground again: "The queen mother forgives her sins." ”
A sneering sneer flashed across the corner of the Queen Mother's lips, and it was only fleeting: "If Lan Cairen is looking for death and life, go far away, don't dirty the mourning family's bedroom, and also collide with Queen Fengyi." ”
Yuehua's entire back was a little stiff, straight and straight, she didn't dare to bend down, she turned around awkwardly, held Mama Qin's hand, first bent her knees, and then slowly knelt down. Mama Qin held her hand and secretly tried her strength, thinking that she wanted to dissuade her, but Yuehua ignored it.
"Queen Mother, the emperor is angry for the time being, Yuehua has something to say back."
Concubine Ling still sat upright in her seat, as steady as Mount Tai from beginning to end, Lan Huaien's determination failed to move her at all: "The queen mother seems to be pleading for this girl, and the queen mother's good intentions are afraid that some people don't know what to do." ”
Mo Guhan finally looked at Yuehua for the first time, and there were still a few sporadic red spots on her vaguely smooth forehead that had not faded, but this could not hide the sparkling brilliance in her eyes.
"Say!" Mo Guhan rarely spoke, it was really a golden mouth, so stingy and only a few words.
"Listening to what the queen mother said, it was the palace maid of the Needlework Bureau who also testified to the instructions of the Lan Cai people, and also took the initiative to hand over the gold and silver jewelry given to her by the Lan Cai people as dirty things, in order to atone for her sins. That Yihuan and Lan Cairen seem to have a great friendship, and they are friends with handkerchiefs in times of trouble. She is willing to do such dirty things with her conscience, and she involves her former sisters in order to survive, which shows that she is an ungrateful person. Yuehua felt that it was not because she hated Lan Cairen that she had now gained wealth and glory, so she deliberately framed her. ”
"Hey, the queen mother has taken great pains to exonerate Lan Cairen, and she can think of such a reason." Concubine Ling snorted disdainfully.
Yuehua didn't have any anger, only smiled slightly, turned around and asked Lan Cairen: "Lan Cairen, when did you give those jewelry to Na Yihuan?" ”
Lan Cairen immediately understood, and said categorically: "About a month ago, I met Yihuan in the garden, and when I saw her haggard face and sad face, I asked. She said that her mother was seriously ill and the family was struggling to make ends meet, and the money she received was only a drop in the bucket, so she was worried day and night. The slave maid had a good relationship with her, and she couldn't bear it, but she didn't have any savings, so she dared to give her some of the hairpin ring jewelry she was rewarded, and told her to be temporary, keep the ransom ticket, and redeem it again if I have silver taels in my hand.
Because it is inconvenient for the identity of the slave to enter and exit the needle work bureau, these things are handed over to the grandmother around her to be delivered secretly. ”
Yuehua sighed: "As the saying goes, 'Shengmi Endou Mi Hatred', you do your best to fund her with some silver taels, but you can't do it, and hand over all the jewelry to her, she and you were both slaves and maids at the beginning, but today they are very different, and they are obsessed with wealth for a while, can there be no jealousy in their hearts?" What's more, you still let her be a current person, and the messenger in the middle is afraid that he didn't specifically understand your difficulties, and there was bias when he passed the message, which made her feel that she owed you, and she had doubts in her heart, right? Once a woman remembers a grudge, she is dizzy, how can she not do things that harm others and benefit herself? ”
Lan Cai was also smart, and immediately understood what Yuehua meant, shook his head in disbelief, and continued to follow her words: "No wonder she later found an excuse to go to the slave's dormitory and wanted to ask for more gold and silver. I also had enough spare strength to refuse. Could it be that they hate me for it? ”
Yue Huatian smiled lightly and nodded: "If she was angry and wanted to harm you at that time, wouldn't it be easy to hide some medicinal powder in your bedroom while you were unprepared?" ”
Lan Cairen seemed to be suddenly enlightened, and kowtowed a few times at Mo Guhan: "It must be so, I implore the emperor to be the master, and the slave is willing to confront her on the spot to prove her innocence." ”
The grandmother in front of Lan Cai was also an old fritter, and when she heard this, she immediately knelt on the ground, and stepped forward with two steps on her knees: "The old slave has the courage to return to the Queen Mother, the emperor, the mothers, at that time, the Yihuan jewelry was handled by the old slave, and my family is true." ”
Concubine Ling seemed to be unwilling, "hehe" smiled and said: "The wind is turning so fast, will it lead to disaster in just a few words?" ”
As soon as the words fell, he was glared back by the Queen Mother. In the final analysis, Lan Huaien is also the person who was picked up by the Queen Mother, and Concubine Ling only cares about fighting for the wind and being jealous, and wants to use this to fight down one by one, but the Queen Mother doesn't think like this. If Yuehua is willing to settle things, turn big things into small things, and turn small things into small things, and keep Lan Cairen's life, she can't ask for it herself. Putting all the sins on a little palace maid, the Queen Mother made another errand in front of her, why not?
