Chapter 14 The So-Called Evidence
The next day, in front of Yuhua Palace, it was unprecedentedly spectacular, and the palace maids and eunuchs stretched out their heads to look at the palace, talking about each other.
"Hey, what do you think the Empress Dowager will do with them today?" The palace maid whispered to the eunuchs around her, for fear that her voice would be heard by the housekeeper if her voice was too loud, and in that case, it would inevitably be another reprimand. But even so, it was brought up by curiosity at this time.
The eunuch on the side looked around and felt that they were all their own people, and it was nothing to say, so he said: "Today, I listened to the steward's private and Xiao Xuan's words, those heads, can't be saved, but what." Glancing at the few palace people around him, he pretended to be serious and said, "I told you, don't let me go out and publicize it." ”
"No, no, we'll go out there and talk about it, unless we don't die." Several people hurriedly waved their hands at first glance.
"Well, it's pretty much the same, it is said that the cause of death of the queen mother's pet is related to the queen mother."
"How is this possible?" A little palace maid immediately denied it, but she saw the queen's mother's careful care of the little lark, how could it be related to the queen's mother.
The little eunuch's face immediately couldn't hold back: "You mean I'm talking nonsense?" Turned to look at the crowd cautiously: "This is what I heard with my own ears that the steward and Xiao Xuan said, don't believe it, when Xiao Xuan comes out, you go and ask yourself, but there is something at that time, don't say that I didn't remind you." ”
Hearing him say this, some people will be skeptical. After all, the queen mother has only been in the palace for a few days, and no matter how stupid a person is, she will not take the queen mother's most beloved pet, unless she wants to die. But right now, his demeanor is firm, and he doesn't seem to be talking nonsense. I couldn't help but wonder in my heart.
Outside the hall were uncertain, and the atmosphere inside the hall was very quiet. Everyone stared at the Empress Dowager sitting on the high seat without a single sound, and their hearts were hanging and they didn't dare to fall.
The Empress Dowager in the high position, holding the fold she received from Mama Gui this morning, frowned, as if she was forbearing.
The slender nails slid deep into the fine seat.
The atmosphere in her heart is unbearable, according to this morning's recital, her cat was poisoned by drinking rice wine from the emperor and Xiahou Meiwu, so is all this a conspiracy of the Xiahou family? Mingli is under the banner of letting Xiahou dance into the palace as the glorious lintel, but secretly I don't know what he is planning?
Thinking of this, under the slight flickering of his eyes, a cold aura floated by, not as seemingly peaceful as before.
The eyes that had been hanging down were lifted slightly, and he glanced at the old father-in-law Ji who was kneeling under His Royal Highness, and reprimanded sternly at the moment: "Father-in-law Ji, what you played is the truth. It seemed to be a kind reminder: "Do you know that what you are talking about now is not only related to the safety of the Southern Xia Kingdom, but also to the safety of the emperor." ”
"The old slave didn't dare to deceive the Empress Dowager, what the old slave played was the truth." Lowering his head, bowing his body, he couldn't believe it when he saw this morning's fold, after all, the emperor hurt the queen more than the previous one, and the current situation was also written out beyond his expectations.
The Empress Dowager thought about the seriousness of the matter, and she had no choice but to mention it to the emperor rashly, so she had to show her anger slightly: "This is okay, someone dares to poison the emperor's newlywed wine, if outsiders want to know, wouldn't it be a joke for my Nanxia Kingdom." ”
said, and said to Mama Gui beside her: "Mama Gui, you go and spread the word, so that the emperor will come to see the mourning family later." Suddenly something came to mind, and then said, "Go and call the queen too." ”
"Yes" replied.
The Empress Dowager looked at Gonggong Ji, who was still kneeling, and she was a little harsh on him in her heart, and waved her hand impatiently: "You get up, I'll talk about it later." ”
"Empress Dowager Xie."
Gonggong Ji got up and pushed it aside to stand up, thinking, this matter is a little tricky, not the usual trivial matters in the harem, one is not handled well, maybe he will also enter it, thinking about it, he can't help but sigh slightly.
As soon as Mei Wu got up in the morning, he felt that his eyelids couldn't help but dance hard, and called Ruo'er who was waiting on the side: "Ruo'er, did you say there was something going on today?" ”
"What's the matter?" Thinking about Niangniang's body just recovered, her spirit may be a little weaker, and said: "Niangniang thinks about it too much, the emperor is good to Niangniang, how can he let Niangniang have something?" ”
"Really?" Mei Wu will be suspicious in the heart of a silent mourning, if you really want to Ruo'er said how good it would be, but what people see is only the surface, her cruelty, ruthless, yesterday, she has already been injured and exhausted, even the only love has been trampled on, she doesn't want to say, it doesn't mean that she can forget, she loves him, this is an indisputable fact, if she can, she would rather be hurt, can wish him let go of hatred.
However, he won't, she knows this better than anyone else, and the eyes that still appear in front of her can't help but sting Meiwu's heart again.
Raising his slender wrist, his white and slender fingers were pale, slightly bent, placed on his chest, and muttered according to the beating heart: "Can you not love?" At least it doesn't hurt. ”
