Chapter 273: Escaped
Yuehua covered her mouth and chuckled: "What a big deal, the soles of your shoes are stained with lime, either you have been to the Cold Palace, or Qingying has been there, one of the two of you is lying, you will know if you can't check it." ”
"The queen seems to have a way?" The Empress Dowager glanced at Yuehua and asked in a deep voice.
"There is no way Yuehua either, but I think that there are guards in the cold palace, and there are also palace people and eunuchs in charge, and people come and go along the way. If you really have been there, wouldn't it be possible that no one has bumped into it? Just let Suxi send someone to ask, so that she can die clearly. ”
Yuehua's words came out, and Xian Ge complained bitterly in her heart, isn't this simply making matters worse? If someone in the cold palace really saw his trace, he would be churned out at this time, and his crime would be ironclad.
The Empress Dowager groaned slightly, and Xu felt that there was some reason: "Suxi, you will personally go to the Qianxi Fourth Institute to ask, have any suspicious people been there yesterday?" The place on the left and right is desolate, and no one wants to go to it. ”
Suki raised his eyes to look at Yuehua, lowered his eyelids in response, and immediately turned around to do it.
Concubine He pretended to be calm, and sent the palace people to immediately cook tea and bring it up, and the Empress Dowager and Yuehua sat down. Yuehua naturally politely cared about the fetus in Chang Lingyan's womb, saying that Mo Guhan had been in the Yanxia Palace yesterday, and he didn't bother to visit.
After a short time, Suki returned, followed by an inconspicuous Tsing Yi guard.
As soon as the guard entered the palace, he lowered his head, knelt on the ground, and greeted the Empress Dowager and Yuehua.
With the Empress Dowager here, Yuehua naturally didn't say much, so she only bowed her head and drank tea.
"Say? But what did you find? ”
Shou Xi replied: "The old slave went to the cold palace to interrogate one by one, and this guard did see someone wandering around the cold palace yesterday. ”
Everyone in the hall turned their eyes to the guard.
The guard replied respectfully: "The Empress Dowager, the Queen Mother, yesterday the cold palace leaked rain everywhere, and the little one was ordered to go to the roof and wanted to repair it simply." Occasionally, when I raised my body, I did see a palace maid sneakily wandering around the gate of the cold palace. ”
Lady-in-waiting? The Empress Dowager frowned, didn't Min'er say, is that Xian Ge dressed as a eunuch?
She stretched out her hand and pointed at the slender song: "Then look at it, but this girl?" ”
Slenderly raised her head.
The guard raised his eyes and looked at Xian Ge carefully, and then shook his head firmly: "No, that palace man is a little rounder." ”
A boulder in Siange's heart fell to the ground with a "poof", and Concubine Crane also secretly breathed a sigh of relief and slowly let go of her clenched hand.
The Empress Dowager lifted her eyelids: "Then do you remember what she looks like?" ”
The guard turned around and walked around, glanced at Qingying kneeling on the ground, and looked at it carefully, only to see Qingying hairy.
He stretched out his hand and pointed: "It's similar to her size...... It also looks a little similar. ”
The color of the shadow changed, and the slender song raised her eyebrows and remained silent.
The Empress Dowager asked suspiciously, "Are you sure?" ”
The guard nodded categorically: "Sure." ”
"Then what did she do in the cold palace?"
It seemed that he had turned around twice at the door of the cold palace, holding something in his hand, bending over and rubbing it on the ground before turning back in a hurry. At that time, because the cold palace had just had an accident, the villain was more careful. ”
"What did she hold in her hand?"
The guard shook his head: "She has been covering it and can't see clearly." ”
"You say, that person went to the cold palace after the accident?" Yuehua asked out loud.
The guard nodded, "Yes, mother." ”
Yuehua's gaze slowly swept over Qingying, smiled slightly, lowered her head again and drank tea, and did not speak.
No one expected that things would take a turn for the better.
The gaze of everyone looking at Qingying had a deep meaning. A person who was about the same size as her took something to the door of the cold palace and took a turn, bent down to "rub", and then, the soles of Xiange's shoes were stained with the white ash at the gate of the cold palace.
The traces of this framing are fully revealed.
This matter was handled by Shouxi's father-in-law himself, and the Empress Dowager killed Xian Ge by surprise, so she shouldn't have revealed the news in advance, and there is no possibility that this guard will collude with Xian Ge and accuse Qingying. It is self-evident what the specific situation is.
Qingying naturally reacted at this time, and his heart sank, and he defended incoherently: "It's not me, it's not the slave, he recognized the wrong person, and he talked nonsense." ”
"Hehe, who is the right person to say that he deliberately went to the cold palace to see it?" Xian Ge took advantage of the victory to pursue, and ridiculed each other.
"No, no, the slave maid did go, but the slave and the maid categorically did not frame the slave and the slave for the song, and what the slave and maid said was true."
In a panic, she turned upside down, and faced with the guard's testimony, who still believed her words?
This time, but for the third time, she slapped the queen mother's face, she couldn't help but be a little annoyed, stood up with a "pout", and flicked her sleeves: "Go back to the palace!" ”
Yuehua naturally didn't want to stay here at this time, so she immediately stood up, glanced at Xian Ge meaningfully, and left the Leisurely Hall with the angry Empress Dowager.
Xian Ge relaxed his spirit and instantly collapsed to the ground. Concubine Crane also lived for the rest of her life, caressing her heart and gasping for a long time before she stabilized her mind and slowly turned around.
Qingying behind him trembled like chaff, and when he raised his eyes to see her full of vicious eyes, like an electric shock, he knew that disaster was coming. Kneexing stepped forward and hugged Concubine He's legs: "Niangniang, the slave is wrong, the slave is confused for a while, and the slave is wrong." ”
Concubine Crane sneered, which was particularly eerie and terrifying: "What are you doing wrong?" ”
"The slave and maid should not chase the wind and catch the shadows, and point out that the girl is wrong." Qingying kowtowed like pounding garlic for a while, and beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down his forehead.
Concubine Crane stretched out her hand and clamped her chin: "What's wrong with you?" The mistake is that no one should expose you, and then you can step on the shoulders of this palace and climb up. Do you know why this palace sent you to serve the song? It's because you're stupid! You're stupid! Do you think that if you curry favor with the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager will reuse you? None of the slaves and maidservants like you who sell their masters for glory will end well. ”
Qingying's chin was clamped tightly by Concubine He, only tears crackled in fear, and she begged in a wailing voice: "The slave just misunderstood Miss Xiange, the slave didn't frame her, really!" ”
Concubine Crane let go of her hand, rounded her arm, and slapped it hard, Qingying said "wow", and a tooth was knocked out, mixed with blood and water fell to the ground, which shows how strong Concubine Crane is.
"It's dirty to beat your palace! Xian Ge, you say, what to do? ”
Xian Ge still had palpitations, and he didn't know why things had suddenly taken such a big turn. She knew in her heart that it was indeed Yuehua who saved her from this catastrophe, but she was still puzzled by what happened later.
In her eyes, Yuehua is indeed favored in front of Mo Guhan now, but it is absolutely impossible for her to reach the sky with her hands and eyes and put her hand into the cold palace. If she heard the rumors in advance and made some arrangements, this matter happened suddenly, if she could still find someone to take care of herself without a trace, or under the nose of the Empress Dowager's most trusted father-in-law, then the queen's current power in the palace is simply terrifying.
Real people don't show their faces!
Concubine Crane asked her a second time, and she reacted, turned her head to see the shadow, and knew that she couldn't stay, otherwise if she went to the Queen Mother and defended herself, not only would the queen's protection of herself be exposed, but her life would still be guaranteed.
She said hatefully: "Cut the grass and eradicate the roots!" ”
When Qingying heard this, she was so frightened that she immediately collapsed to the ground: "Spare your life, spare your life, Miss Xian Ge spare your life, Niang Niang spare your life!" ”
"Spare your life? Why didn't you show mercy when you slandered me? My mother and I were almost killed by you! One of my cheap lives is small, but what about my mother? Have you ever wondered about your mother's situation? ”
Concubine Crane was instigated, and she also snorted coldly: "It's not easy to die? It's too cheap for her to take her life, come on! ”
Someone from outside immediately came in.
"Find someone to send her out of the palace and find a Qinglou with the best business to give her a place to live."
"No!" Qingying screamed: "Niangniang, please for Qingying's sake, spare Qingying, beat me and scold me, let Qingying suffer whatever kind of suffering, don't let Qingying go to that kind of place." ”
Concubine Crane waved her hand impatiently, and Qingying was immediately dragged down by covering her mouth.
Concubine Crane was furious, and said indignantly: "I didn't expect to have such a white-eyed wolf around me!" ”
Xian Ge also said hatefully: "I think I did it seamlessly, and I deliberately bumped into the queen for this, making disrespectful remarks and provoking her to slap her." Unexpectedly, after thousands of calculations, he was betrayed by his own people. ”
Concubine Crane asked Xian Ge suspiciously: "The guards of the cold palace are people you know well?" How can you point to Qingying? ”
Xian Ge also shook his head suspiciously: "Maybe it's a coincidence." Didn't Qingying himself say that he had been to the cold palace? The guard just happened to bump into him. Or, go back and ask the slave and maid to inquire about it side-by-side, and thank others by the way? ”
"You're crazy!" Concubine He hurriedly stopped: "Aren't you afraid that others will see it happen again?" For the time being, you should stay away from the cold palace, so as not to cause any extraneous complications. ”
Xian Ge nodded busily: "What Niangniang said is extremely true." only hated a plot, but instead of relieving the hatred in his heart, he almost took his life. It seems that in the future, we will be more cautious, and we will blame Xian Ge for being revengeful, and almost implicating the mother. ”
Concubine He nodded: "It's not a failure, then Concubine Lian is still somewhat affected, especially when the imperial doctor said that she Chang Lingyan needs bed rest, especially if she can't move, otherwise there is still a possibility of slippery tires." Chang Lingyan's needle-sized heart and eyes are the most jealous, just a little bit. Let more people pass a word to her, and it will definitely not make her comfortable. ”
