Volume 7 Confusion Chapter 18 A hundred claws scratch the heart
It began to snow again, and the snowflakes were not large, but they quickly covered the ground with a white layer.
Standing alone on the edge of the dry well, she let out a long sigh as she looked at the dusty, cobweb-covered and snow-covered dry well.
Recalling Li Bichun's death, Chun Xi felt quite uncomfortable. I don't know if Jin Yu deliberately mentioned this past, which made Chun Xi sad, and then doubted Wang Tianru.
At the beginning, Chunxi promised in front of Li Bichun's coffin that the person who killed her would pay the price exponentially.
Jinyu said that the chess piece she was out of now was Wang Tianru, and she didn't believe it. But the person who killed Li Bichun and made Nalamu clear his guilt must be Wang Tianru. What is ridiculous is that Chunxi actually forgot about Li Bichun's death, and spared Wang Tianru's life when he brought down Tong Ruofei.
Chunxi closed her eyes and recalled Li Bichun's voice and smile, but she couldn't remember her appearance. The memory began to blur, she couldn't see the face clearly, only her arrogant posture.
In this palace, I'm afraid that no one is as straightforward as her. To like is to like, and to hate is to hate. It's a pity that her straightforwardness is not likable, and she even offended many people. That's why I died in this dry well.
"Niangniang, but you remembered An Concubine?" Mu Hui held an umbrella and approached Chunxi to shield her from the falling snowflakes.
Chunxi opened her eyes, glanced at Mu Hui, and then asked softly, "Is the matter done?" ”
Mu Hui nodded: "She will never have the opportunity to speak again in her life." Rao is that no matter how much she thinks, she can't pass it on to others. ”
"Is this palace a little more vicious?" She sighed softly.
Mu Hui said sadly: "If it weren't for Niangniang's soft heart, she saved her life and let Concubine Rong toss her." She won't have the opportunity to give advice to others to murder the concubine. Now the life and death of the concubine Niangniang is at stake, but the concubine just pulled out her tongue and cut off her ten fingers, but she wants the life of the concubine and the mother. ”
With hatred in her eyes, she grabbed Mu Hui's hand: "It's because the palace is incompetent, so I didn't protect Sister Yun." She ...... now "choked up, and didn't dare to say any more."
After being silent and sad for a long time, Chun Xi regained her expression, and then instructed Mu Hui: "Go to Chuxiu Palace and call Wang Tianru, this palace has something to ask her." ”
Chun Xi sat on the warm couch on the east side of the main hall of Yikun Palace, her hands folded on her laps, her eyes fluttering, her expression tired, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
Wang Tianru was led into the hall by Mu Hui, and bowed respectfully to Chunxi: "Concubine Wang's family, see Yifei Niangniang, Niangniang Wanfu Jin'an." ”
didn't hear the answer, Wang Tianru didn't dare to get up rashly, but knelt on the ground uneasily, with a bad premonition in his heart.
Since Tong Ruofei's death, although Wang Tianru was demoted to a promise, she finally left her life, and Chunxi and others never embarrassed her. At that time, Chunxi called her over, which made her a little confused.
When Wang Tianru's legs were numb when he was about to kneel, he heard Chunxi ask in a low voice: "Do you remember how Concubine An died in the first place?" ”
Wang Tianru sighed in her heart, feeling bad, but she could only keep her calm and replied: "At the beginning, Concubine An was killed by Mu Guiren and abandoned her body in the dry well of the cold palace. Later, Mu Guiren committed suicide and apologized for his sins with death. The mother was there at the time. ”
Chun Xi snorted coldly: "Hmph! The king promised that if it really didn't leak, you know what this palace is asking. ”
Wang Tianru kowtowed, lowered his voice and said, "The concubine really doesn't understand what Niangniang wants to know. That's all the concubine knows. ”
"Nonsense." Chun Xi slapped the cushion on his side and scolded loudly: "You can't be fooled when you are in this palace?" An Concubine's family has been practicing martial arts for generations, and even An Concubine herself grew up on horseback since she was a child, and she is very good at fists and feet, and her equestrian skills are even more exquisite. This palace is not an opponent of An Concubine, Mu Guiren is a weak woman, how can she kill An Concubine? ”
"At that time, Concubine An was beaten into the cold palace and locked up to death." Wang Tianru still did not give up and retorted: "And Concubine An was already crazy at that time, Mu Guiren could naturally easily kill her and then abandon the corpse." ”
"You have always been good friends with Mu Guiren, how can you not know Mu Guiren's personality? She killed Fang Fei by mistake, and she was so afraid that she would need a guard to help her clean up the mess, how could she have another chance to sneak into the heavily guarded cold palace and kill An Concubine? Chun Xi said solemnly: "Even if Mu Guiren kills someone, how can her weak body drag An Concubine's body to a dry well and discard it?" Since he has already killed An Concubine to take revenge, why bother to abandon the corpse? ”
Wang Tianru couldn't refute for a while, didn't dare to say more, just buried his head and knelt there motionless.
Chun Xi said again: "At the beginning, according to the instructions of Empress Xiaoyi, you drew a bow and shot an arrow and hit the black bear, causing the palace to be attacked by the black bear and almost died. At that time, you were a great horseman, and your archery skills were even better. Now it seems that you will be more than that. An Concubine was killed by you. ”
Wang Tianru hurriedly shook her head and argued: "Niangniang is discerning, how could the concubine kill An Concubine?" At that time, Concubine An and Concubine were both working for Queen Xiaoyi, even if there was an occasional verbal dispute, there was no need to kill her, right? ”
Chunxi stood up, walked in front of Wang Tianru, held her tender white chin with her right hand with armor, and sneered: "Really? When Fang Fei died, she was disguised as Mu Guiren. If this palace fails to find Mu Guiren, I believe you don't know that she is still alive. Since you think that Mu Guiren is dead, with your sisterhood with Mu Guiren, you must think that Mu Guiren was killed by An Concubine. It just so happened that An Concubine was beaten into the cold palace and went crazy again. You went down to the killer, killed An Concubine, abandoned the corpse and dried the well, yes or no? ”
Wang Tianru still shook his head and refused to admit it: "What the concubine hasn't done, naturally she won't admit it." Time has passed, why did Niangniang suddenly use a dead person to frame a concubine? Even if the mother is unwilling to keep her promise anymore, and she hates the concubine in her heart, will she take the life of the concubine with this? The concubine knew that she couldn't live with her mother in the past, but since she was lost, she helped her mother expose the evil deeds of Queen Xiaoyi. has been keeping to himself, and he almost refused to go out of the gate of Chuxiu Palace. If you want to add to the crime, there is no excuse, and the mother will spare the concubine. ”
As she spoke, Wang Tianru's tears had already fallen. She knew very well in her heart, and she would definitely not keep her if she brought up the old things again.
Chunxi chuckled and turned her back. After a long time, I heard Chunxi say slowly: "If you are safe, how can you provoke Concubine Min to find Concubine Rong?" "Wang Tianru is just unwilling, she has been used all her life and ended up like this, how can she be willing to let go of the people who hurt her?
She instigated Zhang Jia Chuzhen to seek refuge in Ma Jia Yiqing because she was aware of Ma Jia Yiqing's ambition early on, and she also knew that Zhang Jia Chuzhen had been looking for a support after Tong Ruofei's death. In this way, it is just right to use these two people to deal with Chunxi.
Wang Tianru thought that no one else would know about this matter. Zhang Jia Chuzhen would not be so ignorant and leak this matter. But Chunxi still knew, and he kept holding back until now.
"Do you think this palace can still keep you and let you do evil and continue to harm people?" Chun Xi said angrily: "This palace is benevolent, but in exchange for your wolf heart and dog lungs." Wang Tianru, it has been 20 years since you and I entered the palace. This palace doesn't care about the past and spares you for your life, but what about you? This palace doesn't ask you to repay your kindness, but you are still secretly manipulating others and want to continue to harm others? ”
Wang Tianru smiled suddenly, stood up, did not have the previous respect for Chunxi, pointed to Chunxi's nose and said, "Slut, do you think you are noble?" You caused the concubine to enter the cold palace, deliberately spared her life, and let Concubine Rong, who hated her, torture her every day. You brought down Empress Xiaoyi, killed her, and gave her glory behind her. How ridiculous. Don't you know how many people in this house are disgusted with you? You are obsessed with the emperor every day, and you have deceived others with your evil words, and you have killed so many people. What right do you have to accuse me now? What does An Concubine's death have to do with you? After so many years, the emperor doesn't care anymore, why are you crazy and want to give me a high hat? ”
Chunxi gave Wang Tianru a backhand slap, but she didn't expect Wang Tianru to also stretch out her hand and want to return it.
Chunxi subconsciously dodged, Wang Tianru still didn't let go, stepped forward quickly, grabbed Chunxi, and saw that he was about to hit Chunxi in the face, but was kicked and pushed by Chunxi hard, and fell to the ground.
"Come on, arrest the king as promised to this palace." Chunxi stood firm, and immediately shouted: "The king promised to murder Yun Guifei and poison the concubine's medicine, and this palace asked her to come to Yikun Palace for questioning, and she actually had murderous intentions against this palace and wanted to kill this palace." Quickly go to the Qianqing Palace to Emperor Ming, and then go to Yanxi Palace and Zhongcui Palace, and ask Concubine Hui and Concubine Rong, and the king promised to deal with it. ”
Wang Tianru looked at Chunxi angrily and wanted to rush over and tear her, but as soon as she stood up, she was stopped by the eunuchs who rushed in, dragged aside, and far away from Chunxi.
Chunxi's eyes were like torches, and then she smiled at Wang Tianru: "Since you pity the concubine, and the concubine keeps saying that you are her accomplice outside, this palace believes it like this." Whether it's you or her, this palace has decided not to leave any more trouble. ”
If it weren't for my own soft-heartedness, how could so many things happen? She was blindly on guard, but she couldn't prevent it after all. Enemies can only be enemies forever, how can they coexist peacefully?
Soon, Xuan Ye, Ma Jia Yiqing, and Na La Yanhui all rushed to Yikun Palace.
Chun Xi presented the evidence that had been prepared to Xuan Ye, and said: "These are all concubines who went to the cold palace to ask for clarification, and the concubines kept saying that they conspired with the king's promise, and used medicine to cause Yun Guifei to be ill for a long time. And Imperial Physician Lu also told his concubine that Concubine Yun's condition has no chance of improving, and I am afraid that it will only be half a month...... "The more she talked, the more sad she became, and her tears couldn't help but flow, which made Xuan Ye feel distressed for a while.
When she heard that Yunyue was seriously ill and only had half a month to live, she couldn't help but be angry in her heart, and she didn't want to listen to Wang Tianru's argument, so she said: "Put the Wang family into the cold palace and take strict care." ”
After comforting Chunxi, Xuan Ye set his eyes on the dazed and ignorant Ma Jia Yiqing and Nala Yanhui, and said disappointedly: "I trust you, so I handed over the power of the head of the Sixth Palace to you. Fortunately, something so big has happened that you don't even know it. If it weren't for the fact that Chun'er had always been close to the concubine as a sister, and she found the clue carefully, I would have left me when the concubine was infected with the cold. In this way, I will not force you to do things, give up the power in your hands, and in the future, Concubine Yi and Concubine De will be in charge. Go back and reflect on it. ”
Ma Jia Yiqing and Na La Yanhui couldn't say their suffering, so they could only break their teeth and swallow them in their stomachs, and they had to thank them again and again.
It's just that it's been taken away, which is already good. This time, Yunyue was killed, and Xuan Ye did not implicate them, which was already a blessing. It's just that Ma Jia Yiqing was very sad and angry, thinking that the East Window incident would have to wait until after Yunyue's death. Unexpectedly, she was noticed by Chunxi so early, and she rebelled against the army, which made her lose the power in her hands.
