Chapter 36: A Midnight Summons
Li Ling slept in a daze, and heard Nan Fei come in and report: "Master, the emperor invites the master to go to Li Xiuyuan in the mountain hall of Lianhua Palace." ”
When Li Ling heard Nan Fei's words, she was completely sleepy, and hurriedly said, "Hurry up and change my clothes." ”
Li Ling was a little irritable, so she asked Nan Fei, "Auntie, do you know what it is for?" ”
"The slave didn't know, it was Gonggong Li who was next to the emperor, and he didn't say anything when he asked him." Nan Fei was also a little helpless.
"Aunt Nanfei, Master Xi should hurry up and go with our family, the emperor is waiting." Outside, Li Decheng was already urging, and his voice was quite impatient.
Li Ling felt that this matter was not simple, and it would probably be related to Li Huiqin's dragon son, so she instructed Nan Fei: "Auntie, stay in Daigo Palace, I'll just go alone." ”
When Nan Fei heard this, she was stunned, so she knelt on the ground and said, "The slave and maid swear to follow the master to the death." ”
Before she could say anything, she was interrupted by Nan Fei: "If the master has something, the servants of Daigo Hall can't get out of it, so let the slaves accompany the master." ”
"Let's go." Li Ling opened the door and saw Li Decheng's unwelcome face.
"Master, go with our family, otherwise it will be bad if the emperor is in a hurry." Li Decheng didn't see Liling's flustered expression at all, he was a little strange, anyone who was called in the middle of the night would feel strange, at least not so calm.
"There is Father-in-law Lao." Pear Ling opened lightly.
When Li Decheng saw her like this, he didn't say anything anymore.
Such a night reminded Pear Ling of the night when the flower silhouette died, and it was so dark that day, as if it was going to devour people, but that night, there were still people with him, I am afraid that it will not be tonight, that person, should not believe in himself.
In a blink of an eye, I arrived at the Jushui Temple.
Li Ling was about to go in, but was stopped by Li Decheng: "Master Xi, in this matter, I'm afraid that there is a ghost in your palace." ”
Li Ling looked at Li Decheng in some surprise, why would he kindly remind himself? Anyway, he admitted this love himself: "Thank you father-in-law, Nan Fei will stay outside." With that, he strode in.
Li Decheng looked at the back of Li Ling, he is an old man in the palace, he is used to these tricks, he believes that this matter has nothing to do with Xi Xiurong, but with his temperament, he will not be kind to remind him, today, what's wrong?
As soon as Li Ling entered the house, she heard Li Huiqin's cry and Dong Qilin's comfort, and a room full of people, it seemed that things were the same as she thought, and she was too careless.
"The concubines see the emperor." This time, the pear made a big salute and knelt on the ground.
But she didn't hear Dong Qilin shouting.
"Your Majesty, it must have been her who killed the concubine's child, it must have been her, you have to be the master of the concubine." Li Huiqin accused Li Ling with a crying voice.
"I won't let her go." Dong Qilin said sharply.
"Xi Chongrong, are you guilty?!" Dong Qilin walked to Liling's side, and the person who was coaxing Li Huiqin quietly just now has now turned into a demon, and his voice makes people shudder.
"The concubines don't know what the emperor called the concubines late at night." Pear Ling knelt on the ground and said in a flat tone, to be calm, she can't die yet, she hasn't figured out the truth about the death of the flower silhouette, and she hasn't taken revenge yet.
"I don't know? Then I will remind you. Dong Qilin snorted coldly, and even the crying Li Huiqin was so frightened that she stopped crying.
"I ask you, did you give Huiqin a jar of fruit this evening?"
"Yes." Li Ling thought, sure enough, there was something wrong with the jar of fruit fruit, it turned out that Qiu Qi wanted to talk about it at that time, she was really careless, she usually paid attention to not having too much contact with Li Huiqin, but now she has become like this because of a little pity.
"Huiqin had a miscarriage after eating this fruit! The Imperial Doctor said that there was purslane juice in the fruit, could you tell me what was going on! Dong Qilin looked coldly at the pear who directly admitted it.
"The concubine doesn't know, the fruit was given to the concubine by Mei Cainu, Li Xiuyuan also knows, and the concubine also eats it." Li Ling said Mei Xi, and she didn't quite understand, Mei Xi couldn't give herself the fruit with purslane juice like this, and even if she gave it to herself, she couldn't guess that she would give it to Li Huiqin.
"Someone, Xuanmei Cainu." Dong Qilin is still the same indifferent voice.
The hall was very quiet, and there was Li Huiqin's low cry.
Pear Ling was still kneeling on the ground, and although it hurt a little, she still didn't say a word.
"The Queen Mother has arrived." With the eunuch's shout, Yu Anqiao walked into the house.
Everyone was about to salute, but was interrupted by the Queen Mother: "You don't have to be polite. At the end, he walked up to Li Huiqin and asked gently, "Huiqin, what's going on?" When the mourners heard the news, they came. ”
"Queen Mother...... The concubine deserves death, and she failed to keep the emperor's heir, and the concubine ......" Li Huiqin heard the words of the queen mother, and the original low cry immediately turned into a miserable cry.
"Don't worry, the mourning family and the emperor will definitely find out the truth of the matter and give you justice." The Queen Mother comforted Li Huiqin softly.
"Emperor, what's going on?" Yu Anqiao asked Dong Qilin, who had not spoken, again.
"After returning to her mother, Li Xiuyuan accidentally ate purslane, which caused the miscarriage." There was no emotion in Dong Qilin's tone, but Li Decheng knew that the emperor was unhappy and later intervened in this matter.
"Purslane? This is something that pregnant women are forbidden to eat, and the imperial doctor did not explain to the imperial dining room? ”
"Queen Mother...... Didn't the concubine eat the food in the imperial dining room, but the fruit sent by Sister Xi. Li Huiqin interjected here, and Li Ling couldn't understand it more and more, Li Huiqin was the jar of fruit she wanted, could she use her own child to frame herself? It's unlikely, if she gives birth to a child successfully, she will be guaranteed for the rest of her life, why bother?
"Where's the Xixiu?" The Queen Mother listened to Li Huiqin's words and asked Liling.
"The concubine is here." When she heard the Queen Mother's question, she replied with a strong spirit.
"Can you explain why the fruit you gave to Li Xiuyuan has purslane?! It also caused her to have a miscarriage! The Queen Mother asked sharply.
"The concubine didn't know that the fruit was given to the concubine by Mei Cainu." The pear is still in that cold tone.
"Erchen has already called someone to Xuanmei Cainu." Dong Qilin said.
"Then wait." The Queen Mother said.
Ri Ling was still kneeling on the ground, and no one let her get up, her legs began to go numb, and her knees hurt.
But she still didn't understand what was going on, Mei Xi gave herself fruit, it was impossible to know that Li Huiqin would come to her palace, and she wouldn't expect Li Huiqin to ask her for the fruit, so it wouldn't be Mei Xi's doing, but Li Huiqin wouldn't use her own children to frame herself.
The night is getting deeper and deeper.
