Chapter 120: Who slanders whom
Before the halfway point of September, news came from Huangzhuang, saying that Lu Baolin and Lu Qingkui had passed away.
Of course, this is just an external statement, Dong Qilin told Li Ling about this, so Li Ling knew that Lu Baolin did not really die of illness, but Dong Qilin looked at Concubine Li's face and helped Lu Baolin arrange a new life.
At this time, Li Ling was a little envious of Lu Baolin, envious that she had the opportunity to leave this high palace wall and leave this deep courtyard palace.
But after envy, the life that should be lived must be continued.
originally thought that Lu Baolin's matter would pass like this, and no one mentioned it since then, who knew that there was a rumor in the palace that the reason why Lu Baolin was sick was completely due to the pear ling.
To put it bluntly, that is, Lu Baolin did not die of illness, but was killed by Liling.
Rumors also spread that there were noses and eyes, saying that Pear Ling was jealous of Lu Baolin's favor, so when the emperor and Concubine Wande returned to the palace, Huangzhuang became the world of Pear Ling, and Pear Ling took advantage of Lu Baolin's illness to take Lu Baolin's life.
"Mother, what can I do!" Minglu didn't know Lu Baolin's identity, so he didn't know that Lu Baolin was not dead, and he was a little worried when he saw that the rumors were spreading so badly.
"What are you afraid of, Lu Baolin is dead, or died in the Imperial Village, it has nothing to do with the palace." Li Ling is not worried at all, she is the imperial concubine, there is no queen in the palace, only Dong Qilin can deal with her in this palace, and whether she killed Lu Baolin or not, Dong Qilin knows best.
"The slave maid just feels that it damages the reputation of the mother." Minglu pouted.
"What is fame? This palace is not a queen, what do you want to do with fame. Ri Ling smiled faintly, she didn't want to be a queen, reputation was completely unimportant to her.
"But......" Minglu was about to say something, but was interrupted by Riri.
"Okay, look at you, worry about this and worry about that all day long, beware of becoming an old woman!" Ri Ling quipped.
"!" Minglu puffed out his cheeks and puffed out.
Pear Ling didn't smile anymore.
Li Ling originally thought that the rumors about her killing Lu Baolin would slowly disappear over time, but who knew that one day, Lu Baolin's personal palace maid stopped Dong Qilin's holy car, saying that she wanted to avenge Lu Baolin and begged Dong Qilin to be the master.
Coincidentally, when the palace maid shouted grievances, Concubine Ning and several other concubines happened to hear it, and the holy car of Dong Qilin was coming to Moshang Palace, so the palace maid named Shuangxue and Concubine Ning and others also arrived at Moshang Palace together.
After listening to Shuangxue's words, Li Ling retorted with a mocking face: "Do you mean that this palace killed Lu Baolin, but left you, the personal palace maid, to come back and shout grievances?" ”
Shuangxue was stunned for a moment, and then said in fear: "The imperial concubine must not have thought that the day when the slave and maid returned to the palace, and she was negligent for a while, so that the slave and maid would skip the catastrophe!" ”
"Huangzhuang is not close to the palace, you really have the ability, you came back by yourself." Li Ling knew that someone must have taken Shuangxue into the palace, and as for who this person was, she would find out if she checked it in the future.
At this time, Concubine Ning spoke up: "After the concubine learned the news of Lu Baolin's death, she sent someone to pick up all the palace people who followed Lu Baolin out of the palace. ”
This side is saying that Shuangxue was picked up by Concubine Ning.
Li Ling's eyes inadvertently swept over Concubine Ning, only to see Concubine Ning calm.
Li Ling secretly thought in her heart, if Concubine Ning deliberately took Shuangxue back to identify her, then Concubine Ning shouldn't be so generous to admit that she took her back, right?
"Please ask the emperor to be the master of the little master! The poor little lord was still thinking about the emperor before he died, hoping to see the emperor again, who would have thought that the little lord was so miserable, it was just a simple illness, but he was secretly manipulated by the imperial concubine, so that the little lord could never see the emperor again......" Frost Snow pear blossom cried with rain, in fact, since Lu Baolin was "seriously ill", Shuangxue has not served Lu Baolin closely, what Lu Baolin still read the emperor's words before he died, all of them were made up by her.
Shuangxue was still making up the accusations of pear ling, so she didn't notice Dong Qilin's original heavier face.
Dong Qilin secretly glanced at Pear Ling, and happened to see Pear Ling's face mocking, Dong Qilin was a little embarrassed, after all, he couldn't be clearer about what happened to Lu Baolin, who knew that it was also involved in Pear Ling's head.
"Do you know what it is to slander your master? You slandered the imperial concubine of the first grade, I advise you to think clearly! Dong Qilin had a gloomy face, looking coldly at the frost and snow kneeling on the ground.
Dong Qilin's words were heard in the ears of Concubine Ning and others, it was different, the emperor "slandered" one by one, it seems that he completely believes in the imperial concubine, is the news of the imperial concubine's return to favor really true?
In the end, Dongqi Lin tortured Shuangxue, and Shuangxue confessed that Meng Xiuyuan had bought her and asked her to blame Lu Baolin's death on the head of the imperial concubine.
Meng Xiuyuan naturally denied it, but Shuangxue took out the silver ticket that Meng Xiuyuan gave when she bought her, and the silver ticket belonged to Meng Xiuyuan's maiden family, which can be regarded as ironclad evidence.
Dong Qilin was naturally furious, and he wanted to send Meng Xiuyuan to the cold palace on the charge of slandering the imperial concubine, and find someone to raise the four princes.
"Your Majesty, Concubine Rong handed over the four princes to Meng Xiuyuan to raise before she died, in the past two years, Meng Xiuyuan has taught the four princes very well, for the sake of the face of the four princes and Concubine Rong, the emperor will spare Meng Xiuyuan once!" Li Ling persuaded, it was not that she was soft on the enemy, but that she felt that this matter was probably still boring, Meng Xiuyuan was wronged, and it was a great favor for her to save Meng Xiuyuan at this time.
"Since the imperial concubine pleaded, then I will look at the imperial concubine's face and not put you in the cold palace!" Dong Qilin glanced at Meng Xiuyuan, "Then let's be demoted to Chongyuan!" ”
With that, Dong Qilin got up, patted Liling's shoulder for comfort, and left.
The matter has been settled, Concubine Ning and the others have watched the drama for so long, so naturally they don't want to stay long, so they hurriedly leave and leave.
Li Ling waved away everyone, and there were only her and Meng Xiuyuan in the main hall, no, now she has become Meng Chongyuan.
"Niangniang's great kindness, the concubine will never forget." Meng Chongyuan kowtowed and gave a big gift to Liling.
"It's hard for you to figure it out so quickly, Bengong was worried that you would think that this was deliberately used by Bengong to frame you!" Pear Ling said half-jokingly.
After Shuangxue bit out that the person behind her was Meng Chongyuan, Li Ling regretted it, regretting that she should find a palace person who had served Lu Baolin to frame her for killing Lu Baolin, Dong Qilin naturally wouldn't believe it, and then she asked that person to bite out that Concubine Xiao was the mastermind behind it, in this case, Concubine Xiao should also be punished, but unfortunately such a good opportunity was used by others to frame her and Meng Xiuyuan!
The person behind this has made two preparations, if she can successfully frame her, it will be the best, if not, then she will ask Shuangxue to bite out Meng Chongyuan, the ghost of the dead.
In this harem, who will have a grudge against her and Meng Xiuyuan? In recent years, Meng Xiuyuan has been so low-key that she can't be more low-key, who has such a big hatred with Meng Xiuyuan?
Rika felt as if she had grasped something, but it was fleeting.
