79 Unkindness and unrighteousness
Duan Rubian looked up at the grandmother, smiled but did not answer, Chu Jiaoren observed Duan Rubian's face, frowned and whispered, "The pastries on this table are not the same as the appetite, can the grandmother change the plate for us?"
The grandmother smiled and nodded, and called a maid to clean up the pastries on the table, and immediately went to bring a new plate, and the grandmother stepped aside and glanced not far away.
The poetry meeting lasted for a long time and no one said a sentence that could satisfy the Queen Mother, and Queen Murong Tuo proposed that everyone write it on paper, give more time, and submit it after remembering the name, so that the Queen Mother could make the final decision.
The queen mother nodded in agreement, the emperor was chatting happily with Wan Yan, waving her hand to allow, and the queen sent someone to take a few stacks of paper and distribute them to everyone.
Some official ladies are not very happy, after all, they don't have any real skills, and when the time comes, it will be blank, and the face will not be lost, everyone hesitates to write, only Duan Rubian and Jiang Chengyue both picked up the pen and wrote at the same time, the Queen Mother's eyes narrowed slightly, with a smile, and the other girls were so stimulated, they all racked their brains to think about it, and the crowd was silent.
The emperor, after the face was drunk, Yeluji and the ministers just came to go through the motions, and they were still not interested in this kind of thing, so the queen mother simply let them go to the imperial study to sit idly, leaving enough space for this.
Jiang Chengyue was idle on the paper, writing poetry didn't seem to be difficult for her, she was the first to stop writing, Duan Rufang finished writing word by word, crossed her hands and silently did it, looking down at the ground, I don't know what I was thinking.
The placket of the grandmother behind her was cold, and sweat was oozing on her forehead, but she was afraid that her eyes would sweep and see the small paper ball, Jiang Chengyue stared at Duan Rufang's side face, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she pinched the collar on her chest, only feeling an ominous premonition.
Half an hour passed, everyone's poems were almost finished, Mama put them away one by one, and gave them to the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother's eyebrows and eyes were crooked, sweeping one by one, unconsciously sighed a few times, and then changed a few more, her fingers suddenly stopped, her face became complicated, the queen was a little puzzled, she came up to see, it doesn't matter if she doesn't look at it, her nose is going to be crooked, Murong Tuo quickly stood up, and her voice was majestic, "Duan Rufang, you dare to plagiarize!"
Everyone was in an uproar, their eyebrows and eyes were full of schadenfreude, Duan Rumei's eyes widened, and she slowly stood up, "Why did the queen mother say this?"
The Queen Mother held the paper in her hand tightly, strode to Duan Rubian, and threw the paper on Duan Rubian's face, "You really don't cry when you don't see the coffin, look at it, what is this!"
Duan Rubian picked up the paper suspiciously, his heart was stunned, the hand holding the paper couldn't help but tremble a few times, and the Queen Mother sneered, "What? Do you see any clues? The mourning family will tell you, this poem is a poem written by the deceased daughter of the mourning family, you are so bold! You dare to plagiarize!"
Duan Rubian let go of the paper and quickly knelt on the ground, with a deep expression, "The Queen Mother Mingjian, this poem was not made by me"
"It's not you?well, you dare to quibble, it seems that this palace should teach you a good lesson!" the queen waved her hand, and a group of guards knelt on the ground together, "What does the queen have to say!"
The queen's eyes were a little resolute, "Take her down, lock her up, there is no will of the palace, no one is allowed to give her food without permission, until she is willing to tell the truth!"
Duan Rubian understood the queen's original intention in her heart, and if she killed her, Mu would not be pressed step by step, and she would be able to use Duan Ruhua with peace of mind, this time it was her carelessness, but she still didn't know who forged this poem.
Duan Rubian was very calm on the surface, but he was also anxious in his heart, if he didn't do something, it couldn't be easier to kill a woman in the prison.
"Queen Mother, Queen Mother Mingjian, Miss Duan will never do such a thing!" Chu Jiaoren lifted the hem of her skirt and stepped forward quickly, tears in her eyes, so pitiful.
The queen pursed her lips and yelled at the group of guards, "Didn't you hear what Bengong said, take her down!"
Qinghe didn't follow Duan Rubian to the banquet, Lu Fu was transferred by Duan Rubian to take care of Duan Xuan, there was no one around at the moment, the group of guards obeyed the order, and they were about to catch her when they went up, but who knew that a cold voice sounded, stopping their movements
"Wait!"
The queen turned her head impatiently, staring at Jiang Chengyue with a fragile face, and the angry scolding that had just reached her mouth was swallowed raw, "Yue'er has something to say?"
"Queen Mother, Queen Mother, this poem was not written by Miss Duan" Jiang Chengyue said lightly, and a famous woman sneered, "We all know that that poem was obviously written by Her Royal Highness the Princess"
Jiang Chengyue ignored the man, and just stared at the queen, "Don't be too anxious, Queen Mother, think about it, the poem written by Her Royal Highness the Princess, Miss Duan will know that it is easy to be exposed even if she is careless, so Yue'er thinks that someone should deliberately frame Miss Duan!"
The Queen Mother was silent for a while, sat on the chair and rubbed her eyebrows with a headache, letting Duan Rubian get up, although her voice was not friendly, it was much better.
"The mourning family gives you a chance, you explain"
Duan Rubian nodded at Jiang Chengyue to express his gratitude, looked around, observed everyone's expressions, and wondered in his heart who was the real murderer.
The queen was a little impatient, "Miss Duan, don't delay time, it's you who do it, you do it, what's the point of doing this?"
Duan Rubian glanced at the queen and raised her lips slightly, "Don't worry, the queen, there is no foolproof way in the world, this person will definitely show my feet if I harm me, and who is the most nervous at the moment, I'm afraid it will be the person who harms me."
The queen turned her head and ignored Duan Rufang, wearing the yellow silk thread between her sleeves alone, everyone's eyes were very easy-going, Duan Rufang was puzzled, could it be that someone instructed her? But this is not right......
"Eh! this paper ball ......" Suddenly, a cry came from Duan Rubian's position, the grandmother covered her mouth in fright, Duan Rubian squinted her eyes, and clenched her hands into fists, she was really careless!
Another grandmother quickly picked it up and gave it to the Queen Mother, when the Queen Mother saw it, her chest was throbbing, and she couldn't say anything but pointed to Jiang Chengyue, the Queen leaned up and slapped her palm on the table, "Okay! I said why are you talking for her, it turns out that the two of them are in a group!"
Jiang Chengyue frowned, sure enough, the bad premonition was here, she was also involved, Jiang Chengyue approached with the support of the maid, and the eye-catching two lines on the note were poems written by Duan Rufang, and there was Jiang Chengyue's name and a paragraph on the reverse side of the note, writing: Miss Duan, I have picked this poem for a long time, it must be foolproof, I will cover you, don't worry.
Duan Rubian stood quietly in place, observing the queen's expression, silently ruling out the possibility of her framing, now Duan Rubian was in a stalemate, who is it?
"Queen Mother, the delicate dare to vouch for her life, Miss Duan will never do such a thing!" The call from the side made Duan Rufang's eyes light up, and then lowered it again, no, it shouldn't be her......
"Your life?" The queen sneered, "I'm afraid there is a third person here, two plans have failed, and the third one has asked for help, is this palace wrong?"
Chu Jiaoren waved her hand in fear, "I don't have it, the queen ...... mother"
"Miss, don't pretend!" The maid behind her stepped forward and knelt on the ground, dark and firm, "Miss, let's stop listening to Miss Duan, let's recruit it!"
Duan Rubian was a little tightness in her chest and short of breath, looking at it this way, she wouldn't be wrong, but why? Why her!
"Queen Mother, my young lady was threatened by Miss Duan, saying that she must vouch for her, otherwise my young lady will not be able to eat and walk around!
The Queen Mother frowned, "There is no basis for what she says......"
"The slave maid has Miss Duan's letter!" the maid shouted, took out the letter from her arms, and presented it respectfully, the queen mother glanced at it, and shook her hand quite annoyedly, "Come on, take it down!"
Immediately, someone came up to catch Duan Rubian and Jiang Chengyue, Jiang Chengyue's expression was not good, and she was crumbling, but at this moment, no matter how pitiful she was, she couldn't avoid the anger of the Queen Mother at the moment, Duan Rubian stared at the crying pear blossom with rain Chu Jiaoren, and smiled, Okay! Very good! You Chu Jiaoren really have the means!
Duan Rubian broke free from the shackles of the guards, looked indifferent, and strode forward, "Queen Mother, letters can be forged, and testimony can also be forged, forgive Rufang for being bold, these evidences, the queen is not enough to convict me and Miss Jiang!"
The Queen Mother wrinkled her eyebrows, "What else do you have to say?"
"I want to get justice for myself and Miss Jiang!" Duan Rubian glanced at Chu Jiaoren, with a look of disdain, you are unkind, I am unjust!
"Miss Jiang just came, after sitting next to me, the Queen Mother asked everyone to speak impromptuly, this grandmother has been standing behind me, and at that time approached me and said that it was to remind me to say poetry, in fact, I don't know what she is doing, whether she took advantage of the time to throw out the paper ball!"
"Besides, the paper ball was thrown at my right foot, and I didn't notice it, but Miss Chu was sitting next to me, didn't Miss Chu see it?"
Chu Jiaoren covered her eyebrows, "like a flaw...... I ......"
"Oh, I almost forgot, I threatened Miss Chu, right?" Duan Rubian smiled coldly, "This sentence is even more funny! I don't know if the Queen Mother knows that I haven't lived in the capital since I was a child, and it's only been half a year since I came back, and I've been staying in the General's Mansion for half a year, so how can I have any friends, and how can I know in advance that there is a person like Miss Chu? Miss Jiang doesn't know me at all, and I don't know her, in that case, how do I know that she will definitely come back and sit next to me?"
Chu Jiaoren's expression changed slightly, and she tried her best to control her volume, "You...... You're looking for me secretly......"
"I just entered the capital, and I don't know a few people? Why did I find you? Are you very famous? As far as I know, Miss Chu is the most disliked to participate in banquets, how could I be stupid enough to use you to do this boring game!" Duan Rubian sneered again and again, pressing step by step, the depressed aura in his heart was born, Chu Jiaoren was a little unable to parry, his face was red and red, Jiang Chengyue stabilized her body, staring at Duan Rufang meaningfully, her scheming was deep, unattainable, the Duan family, it was really like this!
