"Niangniang, you don't look like the queen of the middle palace at all." Hongyan said, "It would be nice if no one came to disturb you in this life." Hongyan helped the queen to get up, let her sit down steadily, handed her a silk handkerchief to wipe her tears, and took a step back and said, "The concubine will go to Ningchun Hall, Concubine Xin is not qualified to see you again, what should the concubine say to her clearly." ”

"But the Queen Mother won't help you." The queen said, "Even if the queen mother knows that she is wrong, she will not help you." ”

Hongyan smiled: "The concubine didn't plan to let the Queen Mother help anything, the Queen Mother just listened and watched, she is old, and she has no final say in this palace." ”

The queen pursed her lips and said, "Maybe the position of the middle palace should have been for you to sit, if it wasn't me but you at that time, it would have been better." ”

Hongyan shook his head: "The concubine has only seen two queens in her life, and you in history dare not compare, but compared to Queen Fucha, you are not inferior." Putting aside everything related to Second Master Fu, you did everything well, didn't you? And the concubine, the emperor swore to the queen mother as early as that year, Wei Hongyan will not be the queen in this life, Chrysostom Yuyan, even if the emperor forgets one day, the concubine will remember it for him. ”

"Yes, but this queen really has nothing to do, it's not interesting at all." The queen let out a long sigh, as if she had let go of something.

"Mother, do you want to stay here?" Hongyan asked.

"There you go." After knowing that Hongyan had noticed her feelings for Fu Er Ye more than ten years earlier, and after understanding that she had been "respected" for so many years, the queen's heart suddenly brightened, as if even if the emperor rushed to question her at this moment, it became indifferent. As for Yongxuan, he was born after the death of Fu Erye, no one can deny his existence, what should the child think, this is also the sin she planted herself, what else is she afraid of.

"I'm not going to die in your house, I'm not going to trouble you. Now, how can I not have enough of it, a year like this, a lifetime? She shook her head, straightened the clothes in front of her, and raised her head and said, "I'll go with you, you go to Ningchun Hall, and I'll pick up the news from Xiushanfang and so on." ”

Hongyan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said yes, and after coming out, he called Hua Rong and Cherry. Hua Rong heard that the queen was going back, and Ling Guifei was going to Ningchun Hall, her eyes immediately lit up, and her pious and expectant eyes made her smile when she saw it, but Hongyan didn't say anything, so she took the cherry little spirit and separated from the queen.

In the Ningchun Hall, the Queen Mother is worshipping the Buddha in the Buddha Hall, when the weather is warm, the concubine will stay outside the door, such as today's cold and freezing, she will be arranged in the palace on the side, etc., the house is warm with charcoal basins, she is in a daze, even the cotton curtain in front of the door, there is a cold wind poured in, and she has not woken up.

"This charcoal stove seems to be quiet and smokeless and dust-free, but it is actually very hot, and it will hurt your eyes after watching it for a long time, and when you feel uncomfortable, it has been smoked." Hongyan seemed to fall from the sky and quietly appeared in front of Concubine Xin.

Concubine Xin was stunned at first, but she probably realized what kind of place this was, and then she mustered up her courage, got up and saluted: "The concubine is auspicious." ”

Hongyan bypassed her, sat down directly in the place where she was originally sitting, and said with a smile: "The queen mother just went to the spring of the heaven and earth family, saying that you are waiting for the mother here, and there are some things to explain to the mother, the mother said that she is too busy, let me ask you what is the matter." ”

Concubine Xin glanced out of the door a few times, and no one else followed, she ran to the door uncomfortably to pick up the curtain, except for the palace maid who accompanied her, there was no other figure, Concubine Xin ran back with a tense face and asked, "What did the queen mother say to you?" ”

Hongyan heard the familiar coughing sound, which melted into the wind very slightly, but it failed to attract the attention of Concubine Xin, but it was a reminder from Cherry to her, and at this moment, the Queen Mother came out of the Buddha Hall. Hongyan said: "What the queen said, I have already told you, isn't it just to ask you, what do you have to tell the mother?" ”

Concubine Xin frowned, turned her face and said: "The concubine only wants to see the queen's mother, and you have worked hard to make a trip in vain." ”

Hongyan smiled: "This is Ning Chun Hall, you and the queen are in the Xiu Mountain House every day, what can't you say at home, you want to come here to say?" Is it related to the Queen Mother? ”

Outside the door, Mama Hua came out of the Buddha hall with the queen mother who was surrounded by palace maids, and when the queen mother saw the cherry next to Hongyan at first glance, she squinted slightly to confirm whether she was wrong, and saw the cherry stepped forward to help, the familiar voice and face, she couldn't help but be a little disgusted, and muttered impatiently: "What are you doing here?" ”

Cherry responded respectfully, and asked the Queen Mother all the way to the window of the palace where her master and concubine Xin were located, and smiled: "Here is shelter from the wind, you just came out of the Buddhist hall, don't let the wind blow and freeze." But when she got closer, Cherry stopped talking, and just happened to hear Concubine Xin's voice from the window, which was completely different from the momentum of the weak wind on weekdays, as if she was forcing Concubine Ling, "What is Niangniang going to do, the concubine has nothing to say at the moment, please go back first." ”

The Queen Mother was stunned, and was about to speak, but she heard Hongyan say: "Concubine Rong made the dream, and the person who pushed the fourteenth elder brother into the water is you." ”

Hua Mama quickly wrapped the clothes for the Queen Mother, stuffed the hot stove into her arms, and even some palace people moved a stool to invite the Queen Mother to sit down, everything was like a well-trained quiet, she and Cherry stood aside to block the wind for the Queen Mother, and Cherry knelt down and said: "Queen Mother, you are tired to sit here for a while, just for a while." ”

Everything is prepared in advance, even the palace people who come forward to serve are Mama Hua's henchmen, the Queen Mother has long understood that she is not in charge of the things around her, but it is all Mama Hua's meticulous care and consideration of her diet, and the Queen Mother has never cared. At this moment, it made her very disgusted, and wanted to call Wei Hongyan and Xin Concubine out loud, but she heard Xin Concubine sneering: "So what, the Queen Mother said well, the law of the Qing Dynasty, when will it be convicted by absurd dreams." Don't you think it's ridiculous? ”

Hongyan said: "I don't plan to hand you over to the yamen, in this case, what do you want evidence for, whether it's a dream or a casual word, as long as I believe it myself, it's fine." ”

The Queen Mother's face was dark, she closed her lips, and calmed down with the handstove in her arms, listening to what was being said inside.

In the room, Hongyan deliberately sat in this position, just so that the sound could come out, and there was already movement outside, but Concubine Xin was too excited to notice it, and she had already sat down, and she had no strength to stand after a few days of sleeplessness, her bloodshot eyes were like bloodthirsty, and she sneered: "Since the concubine has been identified, why let Concubine Rong dream, it's really too much." ”

Hongyan smiled: "I won't do it too much, I just want to scare you." ”

Concubine Xin was furious, her eyes were tightly fixed on Hongyan, as if she was afraid that she would say something she shouldn't say, so she unconsciously bit her lip with her teeth.

"Fourth Elder Brother Cha Shujia's case of Imperial Concubine, you are also scared." Hongyan smiled slightly, took out a ring from her arms, and put it on the table crisply, she said, "According to your ring, I ordered the craftsman to polish it exactly the same, look at the one in your hand and mine, is it indistinguishable?" ”

Concubine Xin subconsciously hid her hand behind her back, and touched the ring between her fingers to be safe and sound, and she firmly believed that Hongyan was lying to her, just as she said to scare herself, but ...... Why did she bring up the ring, and what did she know it was for?

Hongyan played with the ring in her hand, it seemed a little clumsy, and it took a long time to open the hollow gem, she breathed a sigh of relief and said: "I really admire you, how can you use it freely, have you practiced countless times every day and night?" ”

Concubine Xin's eyes were about to pop out, her throat seemed to be blocked by that gem, and she made a difficult sound: "Huiyun...... Is it really in your hands? ”

Hongyan shook her head: "I don't know where she went, the fact that Huiyun disappeared really has nothing to do with me, but I heard from others that Huiyun has explained everything that should be explained." ”

Outside the window, the Queen Mother was surrounded by Mama Hua and Cherry, with a fur and a hand stove on her body, her body should not be cold, but somehow it cooled down a little bit, she was not old and confused, she was still deaf and clear, at this moment, there was no need to say anything in the house, the Queen Mother understood in her heart. Didn't she ask Mama Hua again and again, if Concubine Xin really did evil......

At this moment, there was a Hongyan voice in the room, and she was asking Concubine Xin: "How did you use this ring to put poison into the ginger tea of Emperor Shujia's concubine, and I checked it carefully for a long time, but no one saw it." ”

Concubine Xin struggled: "What nonsense are you talking about, the concubine doesn't understand, the concubine doesn't understand, the concubine doesn't understand, Niangniang, the queen mother is about to come out of the Buddhist hall, and the concubine is going to serve the queen mother." ”

Hongyan asked: "Why don't you go to the Queen Mother?" ”

There was silence for a while, and Hongyan said again: "Emperor Shujia found out that the sixth princess's background was suspicious, so she buried her own life?" ”

The Queen Mother was shocked, and looked at Mama Hua incredulously, and Mama Hua was also shocked when she heard these words for the first time.

From the sixth princess confusing the royal bloodline, to the death of Emperor Shujia's concubine, to the drowning of the sixth princess and the fourteenth elder brother by Concubine Xin's own hands, Hongyan briefly recounted it and asked: "I don't know if there are any other things I don't know, but any opinion on these three things is a capital crime." ”

"I knew Huiyun was gone, and I was done." Concubine Xin smiled fiercely and desolately, "I shouldn't have left Huiyun behind, I should have shut her up forever, she always persuaded me to be kind, and I knew that she and I were not the ones who went all the way." ”

Hongyan asked, "Huiyun advises you to be kind?" ”

Concubine Xin sneered: "Yes, persuade me to be a wreck, don't fight, don't grab." Her eyes fell on the red face, a woman in her thirties, why could she still have such a look? She rushed over like crazy and choked Hongyan's neck, "I have nothing, I obviously have nothing, why are you targeting me, why?" ”
