Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Truth Behind the Scenes
On the first day of August in the seventh year of Tianping, the talented Wu Zhilei poisoned the Queen Mother and died.
Although there are ministers and ministers to intercede, but now the emperor has a problem with the ministers and scholars, if Wu Cairen dies, then the queen mother will definitely not be able to win over the Wu family, so the emperor will not pay attention to Lord Wu's plea at all.
Moreover, when Wu Cairen murdered Jiang Yan's fetus, the emperor had already spared Wu Cairen once for the sake of the minister's book, so this time, even the secretary himself knew that Wu Cairen could not retreat with his whole body.
On the third day of the eighth month, Wu Cairen was given to death for plotting to kill the Queen Mother.
In just ten days, two concubines died, one committed suicide and the other was given death.
"I guess you know, Wu Cairen is dead." It's still in a lightless and airtight room.
"I'll keep my promise." Concubine Li, who was kneeling in front of the Buddha, took out a piece of paper from her arms and handed it to Liling.
The paper in Liling's hand was roughly read, and she was a little surprised, and a little expected, Concubine Li and Liling entered the palace together, although they were not as favored as Liling, but they were also in a high position, so there were a lot of forces in their hands.
Ri Ling put the paper in her arms, and then asked, "What are your plans for the future?" ”
"What else can you plan," Concubine Li's sarcastic voice was particularly harsh, "Always accompany the Green Lantern Ancient Buddha, and then wait to see what happens to Pan Xiangyu!" ”
Pan Xiangyu is also the former Concubine Xin, the current Xin Xiuyi, when Concubine Li talked about Pan Xiangyu, there was a gloomy atmosphere, if Xin Xiuyi was in front of Concubine Li now, it is estimated that Concubine Li would like to kill Xin Xiuyi.
"If you need anything, let Ruyu come to me!" Ruyu is Concubine Li's personal palace maid.
"Next year, a group of palace maids will be released from the palace, so please let Ruyu go out of the palace!"
"Ruyu is out of the palace, so aren't you served by a beauty?" Ruyu should be twenty-two or three this year, although the palace maid must be twenty-five years old before she can leave the palace, but since Concubine Li has spoken, Li Ling will naturally help with this little favor.
"I can only die of old age in this palace now, and it is difficult for her to accompany me, such a day, I am enough alone." Concubine Li's voice was very low, which made people feel sad when they heard it.
"In that case, remember to remind me when the time comes!" This is the promise of the pear.
Back at Moshang Palace, the night was already a little deep.
"Niangniang, the Queen Mother is really Wu Cairen...... "Tonight is Mingxiu's vigil, so I asked about Wu Cairen.
Although Mingxiu is now a first-class palace maid in Moshang Palace, the palace maids and eunuchs in the entire harem are also polite when they see her, but she knows that she is not a confidant of Concubine Xian, she just does some marginal things, and the really important things are done by Zhihe and Lianyu, and she also wants to become Liling's henchman, so tonight it was her turn to keep vigil, so she asked about what happened in the past two days.
Liling knows Mingxiu's thoughts, and she doesn't break it, after all, it's not bad to have a self-motivated palace maid, isn't it? What's more, her manpower is really not enough now, and if this Mingxiu can take on the big responsibility, it is not unavailable.
"Whether it is or not, Wu Cairen's end is doomed." The Queen Mother wooed the Wu family, and the Wu family did not show obvious refusal, the emperor must have an estrangement from the Wu family, and now Wu Cairen handed the poisonous tea to the Queen Mother in full view of everyone, even if the Queen Mother knew that this should not be done by Wu Cairen, but the Queen Mother must also be suspicious of the Wu family, so that the Wu family is not pleasing on both sides, and Wu Cairen is destined to become a victim.
However, people like Wu Cairen should die or not, so as not to continue to harm others.
"Then what is ...... about this" Mingxiu naturally understood that no matter what, Wu Cairen couldn't escape.
"It's none of our business, the Queen Mother of horizontal poisoning." Li Ling sneered, with the knowledge of the Queen Mother, she must know that Wu Cairen is a shield in this matter, and with the skill of the Queen Mother, she must be able to find out who is behind the ghost, if she finds out the person who wants to kill her, it is estimated that the Queen Mother can faint with anger.
After all, what really poisoned her was her most favored and trusted niece and nephew in the past - Yu Baolin and Yu Lingyi!
was betrayed by her own niece, presumably the queen mother is uncomfortable! Pear Linger.
Zhengde Palace at this moment.
"Auntie, it's not me, it's really not me!" Yu Baolin and Yu Lingyi lay on the bedside of the Queen Mother Yu Anqiao, shouting that they were wronged.
"You think you can't see that little trick of your mourners? The mourning family has been in this harem for more than 30 years, and what kind of pickled things have never been seen! Don't tell the truth yet! "Although the Queen Mother was a little weak after being poisoned, her momentum did not diminish at all.
Yu Baolin's body shook, clenched his fists and said: "Auntie, what kind of person is Yi'er, don't you know yet, how could you do something to poison you, and besides, if you poison you, is there any benefit to Yi'er?!" ”
The Queen Mother looked coldly at Yu Baolin beside the bed, and then sneered: "The mourning family knows, you don't plan to really poison the mourning family, you just want to use the mourning family's hand - except for Wu Cairen!" ”
Yu Baolin's heart tightened, she still underestimated the Queen Mother, and she actually saw her thoughts clearly.
"Do you think that the mourning family did not help you except Wu Cairen, but instead went to woo her, so you resented the mourning family? That's why I thought of framing Wu Cairen by poisoning the mourning family, and then killing two birds with one stone?! The Queen Mother said at the end, her voice was raised a lot, she really didn't expect that the person who poisoned her was actually her niece who she had always loved!
Yu Baolin didn't speak, it is true that she felt like this, after the death of the third princess, Wu Cairen moved into the Qinglian Pavilion of Lanyue Palace where Zhuang Zhaorong once lived, Wu Cairen knew that Zhuang Zhaorong had a difficult birth and was harmed by her, but now Wu Cairen took the initiative to live in the Qinglian Pavilion without any care, she couldn't help but think about it, she is now degraded, and she is not favored, even the Queen Mother gave up on him, if Wu Cairen tells her about the murder of Zhuang Zhaorong again, then she will definitely be beaten into the cold palace!
She is now powerless, and there is no one available in her hands, so she can't deal with Wu Cairen, so she came to beg the Queen Mother, and begged the Queen Mother to take action in addition to Wu Cairen, the Queen Mother obviously agreed, but in the end she actually went to win over Wu Cairen! completely ignored her comfort, but instead went to win over a good-for-nothing and unfavored Wu Cairen, which made her feel that the Queen Mother was going to abandon her completely, and since this is the case, it is no wonder that she is ruthless!
That's why she came up with a way to poison the Queen Mother to frame Wu Cairen, but she never thought of poisoning the Queen Mother! The medicine given to the Queen Mother is not a terrible poison, the Queen Mother will be fine after resting for two days at most, she is mainly to get rid of Wu Cairen, and she has not thought about the death of the Queen Mother!
But she didn't expect that the Queen Mother would know so quickly that she had done it!
It's over, she has seen the Queen Mother's methods, and the Queen Mother will never let go of a person who wants to murder her!
Although it was in August, Yu Baolin felt a chill rising from the bottom of his heart at this time.
