Volume 2 Watching Chapter 11 The True Purpose
That night, Chunxi made an appointment with Han Ji and told her everything that happened in the cold palace.
After hearing this, Han Ji seemed surprisingly calm. After thinking for a long time, he spoke: "This noble cloth is just a chess piece, whether she is crazy or not, she must die." When we were investigating Shu Sleeve, things took a turn for the worse, and the real culprit came out all of a sudden. When I asked Mama Zhao at the beginning, I didn't think she was lying, she must not have seen the murderer clearly. ”
"But now she says she sees clearly, huh? also clearly found the murderer, and the murderer himself admitted it. Chunxi was actually very confused, but before she could figure it out, she heard Han Ji say again.
"Don't you think she confessed too quickly? It's just that Mama Zhao's one-sided words, there is no evidence to prove that the little palace maid did it, why is she so stupid, and she came out all when she asked. Han Ji's voice didn't rise and fall at all, not like her in the past. Perhaps, he shouldn't have dragged her to the palace and risked staying by Concubine Tong's side. But fortunately, now that Han Ji has some status in the palace and even the imperial court, she doesn't have to be so afraid of Concubine Tong. Thinking so, she was also stunned for a while, and she didn't hear Han Ji's words clearly, so she asked again.
Han Ji saw that she was a little absent-minded, shouted, and said, "I think someone didn't want us to find out anything from Shu Sleeve, so they hastily wanted to understand this matter on behalf of the dead ghost." No matter how perfect the evidence is, it still leaves some flaws. ”
Now she understood, and said in a low voice: "What my sister meant, someone set up a game, and originally wanted to lead me into the game, but I didn't expect that I would investigate Shu Sleeve myself." The man must not have thought that I would intervene in the investigation, or that I would not have been able to investigate Shu Sleeve in her plan. Originally, if such a thing happened, the emperor would more or less suspect me, and at least he should put me under house arrest. But I didn't expect that the emperor not only didn't do this, but also let me investigate secretly. She felt that something was wrong, so she threw out the ghost of the dead and wanted to end the matter. ”
"That's not right." Han Ji listened to her analysis, but shook her head: "Her purpose is not to ask you to carry the black pot at all. If you're really that unlucky, it's a good strategy to kill two birds with one stone. But her original idea was to damage your reputation. ”
"How so?"
"This matter, from the very beginning, the finger pointed at you. Assuming that the little palace maid is really the murderer, she said that she didn't have a chance to kill the killer for a few days, how could it be so coincidental, when you went to look for the little brother, she just found the opportunity? She's not waiting for you at all, waiting for you to pass by. ”
Han Ji's words, but Chun Xi did not agree: "How is it possible? I don't usually go into that little garden, and she doesn't necessarily wait for me to pass by. ”
"But don't forget, why did you go to find Little Brother at that time?"
As soon as Han Ji reminded her, Chun Xi remembered that she was going to take the little elder brother to Zhong Cui Palace to see Rong Guiren, and the reason was because of the dress she made herself.
She suddenly understood: "The clothes are too big, they are not suitable for children less than a year old at all, and it is impossible to wait for a year and a half to give them to the little brother, and at that time, I will definitely think of Rong Guiren's other child, the child who can just wear that dress." ”
"That's right." Seeing that Chun Xi understood, Han Ji also breathed a sigh of relief: "I think that when you were making clothes, this matter had already begun to be planned." Shu Sleeve must have known that your clothes were made big, and she didn't remind them. Although Fu'er is proficient in embroidery, she has never made children's clothes, so naturally she doesn't know the size, so you won't know. Shu Sleeve immediately told her the real master, and this matter began. ”
In this way, Shu Sleeve did not disappear suddenly at that time, but had planned to disappear for a long time. At that time, she actually went to inform the little palace maid that she could act. They had already guessed that I would definitely go to find Little Brother as soon as possible, so they calculated the time and threw Little Brother into the water when I passed by. I will definitely watch it when I hear it, so I am naturally on the scene, and I have nothing to do with it. As soon as Chun Xi finished speaking, he felt the horror of the people behind the scenes.
"What they want is that you're guilty of murder, not real murder. Therefore, they had a plan early on to reveal the real culprit to the world. The right time to choose is when your reputation is ruined. Han Ji said again: "In this way, Shu Sleeve's death may be an accident, or it may be to make this matter more serious and more biased in your favor." So, at the very beginning of our investigation of Shu Sleeve, her body was found. When all the evidence against you is laid out, and your reputation is irretrievable, we will investigate Shu Sleeve again, and at this time, it is time for the real culprit to come out and confess. ”
It turned out that she had been thinking too simple all along. I always thought that what they wanted to design was to make her a substitute ghost, but I didn't expect them to set up such a bureau to make her lose her reputation.
Indeed, since the incident happened, although it has only been more than ten days, the rumors have not stopped. Although the truth has now been revealed, what is still circulating in the outside world is that the emperor found a madman as a scapegoat in order to cover up her crimes and wash away the proof for her.
Things are clear, and the real murderer is the law. But what brought her was more speculation and doubt. Her current image is a jealous, ruthless and unusually vicious demon girl, a sinner who seduces the emperor and harms the Qing Dynasty.
"Now even the people have several theories about you, but the most expressive of them is that you are like Daji in the world." Han Ji's words made Chun Xi suddenly feel five thunders.
Is Daji alive? Really overestimated her.
"Why? Why would she do it? Ushi muttered.
Han Ji reached out and grabbed her, soothing her emotions: "There must be a cause and an effect, think about it carefully, if there is anything in the interest recently." What has happened before or will happen soon? ”
Chunxi shook her head, she really couldn't figure it out.
At this time, Mu Hui, who had been standing not far away and listening to their remarks, but did not say a word, spoke: "Little master, there is." Next month will be the end of the queen's three-year mourning period. ”
Chun Xi listened to a spirit, yes, how did she forget about it.
Han Ji saw her strange expression, and hurriedly asked what was going on, so she listened to her in detail.
It turned out that not long after Chunxi became pregnant a year ago, there was a rumor that if Chunxi gave birth to a prince, her son would be the future emperor.
When Chunxi still felt ridiculous about this rumor, the court was already noisy.
Under pressure, and in order to break the rumors, Xuan Ye immediately issued an order to appoint the son of Empress Renxiao as the crown prince.
This move finally stopped the rumors and reassured the ministers of the DPRK and China.
But the good times didn't last long, and when Chunxi was grieving the loss of her child, another thing happened.
At that time, Xuan Ye's love for Chunxi was already obvious, almost responsive, and even had the idea of sealing the concubine.
Naturally, some people were not happy and tried their best to discourage them. He also said that the country should not be without a queen for a day, and the harem should not be left undecided all the time.
Where did Chunxi have the heart to take care of her concubine affairs at that time, but she also felt inappropriate when she heard about it. Originally, she didn't care about her position, but now Xuan Ye and the ministers were at a stalemate, so Chun Xi thought of a plan.
She reached an agreement with Concubine Wan to reveal her plan and plan in front of Xuan Ye. Let Xuan Ye and the ministers each take a step back. She doesn't want a concubine herself, and the lord of the harem doesn't have to rush for a while. simply suppressed the matter on the grounds that the three-year mourning period of Empress Renxiao had not yet expired and it was not suitable to be sealed. At the same time, Concubine Wan was also promoted as a concubine and held the phoenix seal on her behalf.
The matter was finally resolved, but now the mourning period was about to end. When the time comes, the matter of the post-closure will definitely be brought up again.
"Could it be that they think that the emperor is beneficial to make you the queen?" Han Ji thought it was really ridiculous, but she had to think so. Maybe in the eyes of others, Chunxi is really a very threatening figure.
"A few days ago, the emperor favored me alone for a month, and he didn't even see the rest of the concubines. Maybe that's why they think so. Chun Xi sneered, these people are really good at scheming.
Now that her reputation has been damaged, even if the emperor intends to make a concubine, there is absolutely nothing to do with her. First, she has nothing to do, and second, she is now burdened with infamy. No matter how favored the emperor is, it is impossible to always oppose the minister, which is obviously not a wise choice.
It seems that they really tried their best, and the purpose turned out to be like this.
"Sister, what is the best plan?" Now, Chunxi can't think of any way to deal with all this. A series of events had exhausted her, and she had no intention of thinking about it anymore. The only thing she can rely on is Han Ji, maybe she is the only one who can save her from fire and water at this time.
Han Ji thought about it for a long time and was very serious. In the end, she said: "Although it is you who she wants to stop, her biggest enemy and the person who is most likely to be blocked is not you." ”
Thinking about it, Han Ji was right. Regardless of whether his reputation is damaged or not, this emperor's favor is one thing, but it is not a simple matter after this letter.
If Concubine Tong wants the back position, then her biggest enemy is not herself. Concubine Tong came at her, she should just be for others to see, she is just Concubine Tong's experiment.
"It seems that I am not her ultimate goal, her next target must be Wan Guifei." Chun Xi came to a conclusion and understood what he should do.
"Chun'er, the soldiers will block, and the water will cover the earth. Since the purpose of this Concubine Tong is to be the queen, why don't we help her? ”
Han Ji's words made Mu Hui a little dissentful, and she was about to ask, but she heard Chun Xi say, "Sister is right." If she can ruin my reputation, why don't I ruin her dreams. ”
The smiles on the faces of the two made Mu Hui, who was watching from the sidelines, shudder. It was as if they had a plan in mind, and the smile seemed to cheer for their victory.
This war has just begun, only this time, they are no longer the little fish that are being played with.
