Chapter 18: Disturbances (Revision)
In the small interrogation room, important people gathered at the end of the Muyun Pyramid.
The palace maid Green Lotus was beaten by ten boards, and she was obedient a lot, kneeling on the cold, hard and wet ground, and said tremblingly in front of everyone.
"I heard, Mei Meiren was crying in the rockery, I heard them, my brother and sister shouting very affectionately, and the others heard what bets, what they liked, what they flew, and the others didn't hear it, and the wind was very loud that night, and the slaves and maids didn't hear it clearly."
"Bold, since you haven't heard anything, why are you spreading rumors that Mei Meiren was poisoned and has a leg with the Beihan horse?" The emperor scolded, and the coercive people were out of breath.
"The slave didn't say this, the slave was wronged." The green lotus trembled with fright, and quickly kowtowed on the ground.
"Bring Concubine Rong over." Xiao Jingyu said angrily, but as soon as the words fell, a beautiful woman with a delicate face stepped in at the door.
The person who came was Rong Guifei, who was enjoying the flowers in the garden, and the next person hurriedly came to report that the green lotus was taken away by the people sent by the emperor, and immediately rushed to the place in a panic, but it was still a step late, and I heard that this stupid palace maid green lotus recruited everything.
"What are you wronging, you told the palace that Mei Meiren had an adulterous affair with the Beihan concubine, and Hugh slandered the palace after a few boards." Concubine Rong was dressed in a rose-red embroidered brocade dress, and her armrests trembled, and she scolded arrogantly.
"Niangniang, save me......" Lu He pulled the hem of her palace dress and pleaded.
"Don't touch me, you filthy and lowly palace maid." Concubine Rong kicked away the palace maid and said disgustedly, then turned her head to look at Mo Xiangli, and said hatefully: "I hope the emperor will not listen to the words of the treacherous people who are dying in the world."
"Concubine Ai, Mo Meiren pointed out that you and the Sima family were suspected of trying to poison me, and threw the pot at her, how do you explain." A smile appeared on the corner of Xiao Jingyu's mouth and said, the previous anger was quietly retracted, this question was like eating, and the person who was almost poisoned was not him.
"Your Majesty, the Sima family is loyal to you, and has made great contributions to Mu Yun, and Jiaojiao admires the emperor even more, how can he poison you viciously, don't listen to the words of traitors."
"Let me ask you, when the eighth day of the first lunar month, can you recruit Mo Meiren to your Ronghua Pavilion?" The emperor seemed to ask gently, but in fact, he was secretly sharp.
"Back to the emperor, Jiaojiao did recruit Mo Meiren to Ronghua Pavilion to talk about it, increasing the sisterhood between each other, who knows that people know their faces but don't know their hearts, she actually bit people back today."
Sima Jiao said that it was extremely pitiful, if people who were not familiar with it would definitely be deceived by her appearance, but her reputation for being coquettish and arrogant had already spread far and wide.
"What did you talk to her about?" The emperor had some disbelief in his eyes.
"Jiaojiao and her, discuss how to win the emperor's favor, the emperor, you haven't been to Ronghua Pavilion for a long time!" Sima Jiao said resentfully, Xiao Jingyu was a little embarrassed, she brought the matter of the harem to everyone.
Yan Zijin pinched her fan to cover her mouth and smiled, this Concubine Rong is also a person with a bit of brains.
"How to explain the scars on Mo Meiren's face and body." Xiao Jingyu looked at Mo Xiangli's really miserable appearance and asked.
"She, she did this kind of murder to the emperor, and the people love you, so they will naturally be angry for you." Sima Jiao simply pushed it clean, and the reason she found was reasonable.
The matter reached an impasse, the two women accused each other of bad intentions, but the content of the conversation was only known to the two of them, and there was no circumstantial evidence.
We can only look for another breakthrough.
Everyone naturally thought of Han Qing, who was still in a coma.
A bucket of biting cold water came towards him, and Han Qing's whole body was drenched, and he woke up confused and vulnerable.
"You ...... Catch me for no reason...... What are you doing......" Han Qing opened his eyes hard, licked the corners of his dry and peeling lips, looked at the emperor and Li Junye and the others, and said innocently.
I have to say that Han Qing's face is extremely beautiful, in such an embarrassing situation, under the dirty appearance, it leaks a bit of poignant beauty.
"What is your relationship with Mo?" Murong Bai stared at his slender wet neck and tortured.
"It doesn't matter." Han Qing looked at the dry and moldy straw under his feet and denied it coldly.
"She has admitted to your relationship, and someone has witnessed your private meeting with the rockery, how can you explain it?" Murong Bai stared at his dirty side face and said.
"Even if I have a relationship with her, why did I tell you that we Beihan came to congratulate you on your birthday, what do you mean by framing me for poisoning and sending people to arrest me?"
Han Qing turned his eyes to look at them arrogantly, his dark eyes showed a high arrogance, and he looked very poor like this.
Seeing that he seemed to have been wronged, several people glanced at each other, and some were not sure whether he had been poisoned.
"Bold, don't be arrogant when you speak, and you honestly explain whether you are in partnership with Mo Xiangli in an attempt to poison the emperor?" Yan Zijin took the fan and asked in righteous words, and the white jade seemed to have a pair of slender eyebrows in the shape of a figure-of-eight.
"Come with your ears, and I'll tell you only one person." Han Qing secretly sent a wave of eyes and greeted intimately.
Yan Zijin cautiously approached, and Han Qing said ambiguously: "You tell me closer."
Yan Zi glanced at him, and then moved a little closer carefully.
Han Qing looked into his ear and said ambiguously, "If you let me kiss it, I'll tell you."
Yan Zijin was teased, his face turned red in an instant, and he pointed at Han Qing, who was happy when he succeeded in the prank, and said through gritted teeth: "I see that you just don't cry when you don't see the coffin."
Li Junye snickered with his sleeves covered, he had long expected that Yan Zijin would not get any answers, but for some reason, Han Qing especially liked to tease Yan Zijin every time they met.
Murong Bai frowned and said, "Han Qing, don't be serious, and explain the problem honestly."
Han Qing glanced at Murong Bai with disdain, deliberately had an ambiguous attitude, and said like a resentful woman who was neglected and abandoned by her husband: "Rong Bai, are you not so indifferent to me on the road, we ride a horse intimately, drink a sip of wine together, you feed me rabbit meat, we sleep and eat together, day and night, nothing to say, how did you get to Muyun and become serious again."
Several people looked at Murong Bai in unison, as if they were saying to him: Oh, it turns out that you are such Murong Bai.
"Don't talk nonsense...... Murong Bai's face turned red anxiously, but instead verified what Han Qing said.
"Rong Bai, you have to remember that you are our Muyun's person, you must take a firm stand, Han Qing is a married man, this is a transnational forbidden love." Yan Zijin put his hand on his left shoulder, and said bitterly.
Li Junye put his hand on his right shoulder, and said with a sincere face: "Rong Bai, Han Qing is a man with water-based poplars, he must be lost, there is no grass at the end of the world, why should he love a grass."
"Rong Bai, as Mu Yun's courtier, it is necessary for me to educate you on harmony Mu Yun's harmony, there are many beauties and beautiful men in my hands, there must be one you are satisfied with."
Xiao Jingyu didn't know where to go, took out a thick matchmaker book, flipped through the bewitching and cheap articles, pointed to the beauty on it and said: "This is Jun Ye's sister's daughter, although she is only seven years old, she is very bearish and tricky, and she is beginning to take on a beautiful embryo."
Li Junye didn't expect that his niece would be remembered by the emperor, and he had a chill.
Xiao Jingyu then turned a few pages, pointed and said: "This is Zijin's cousin, and he looks quite charming, although he said that he was a little mother, I will take a look at ......."
Yan Zijin silently put away his claws, feeling a sense of self-danger, and couldn't help asking, "Your Majesty, should I be among them?"
"No, you are delicate and beautiful, but it's a pity that Rong Bai likes bewitching and cheap goods, you don't qualify." Xiao Jingyu said regretfully.
Yan Zijin was glad that he didn't meet the conditions, so maybe he would pull the red line.
Under the pretext that there was something at home, several people quickly slipped away, and only the emperor and Han Qing were left on the field, and Xiao Jingyu put away the matchmaker book.
Han Qing watched the emperor mess around, and the corners of his mouth flashed with disdain.
Xiao Jingyu rolled up his sleeves, straightened up, and asked kindly, "Brother Han, what is your relationship with Li'er?"
"What's the relationship, haven't you investigated, why bother to ask me again." Han Qing spoke with a sense of anger, he was now watching Xiao Jingyu more and more annoying, and he didn't even want to act.
"Well, I don't know why Brother Han is so angry." Xiao Jingyu frowned and wondered.
"Then I have to ask you, my wife and I haven't returned to Beihan yet, what are you going to do if you send Murong Bai to arrest me." Han Qing rolled his eyes.
"Brother Han, don't be angry, it's my harem concubine, under Mo Meiren's pillow, I found poison, but Mo Meiren talked to you on the rockery before, but unfortunately the palace maid listened to your conversation, so this happened.
Now it's time to ask Brother Han to come back and ask the truth about this matter. Xiao Jingyu explained.
"Oh? You suspect me and your concubine of poisoning you. Han Qing stared at the pleasant look on Xiao Jingyu's face and said bluntly.
"I didn't think so, it's just that their evidence is not good for Brother Han, and it's better for Brother Han to make it clear." Xiao Jingyu looked at Han Qing, who was gradually smoothed out, and said.
"If I say it, you will believe it?" Han Qing curled the corners of his lips and said playfully.
"Nature."
Han Qingxin said: Is this emperor really stupid, or pretending to be stupid, no matter how you accompany him to pretend.
"It's simple, I'll meet your concubine in private, because she's my own sister. When I was a child, my father was an official in another place, and I grew up living with my mother and sister, and when I was six years old, I was abducted and sold to another place, and I always wanted to reunite with my relatives.
Unexpectedly, when they met in the palace now, their sister was more beautiful than her mother, and she became a concubine.
Although Beihan and Muyun are not enemies, the relationship is also quite tense, and Han Qing really doesn't want her to be influenced by me and be criticized in the palace.
I didn't expect that the things I have been maintaining are still known, and they are even made an article, alas. ”
When Han Qing talked about the past, his eyes couldn't help but show sadness.
Although this story is that he put other people's lives on himself, there are many coincidences with the facts.
So, it's a natural outpouring of true feelings.
"Brother Han, your life experience is really miserable, as you said it is true, Jing Yu will release you in a few days, and return the innocence of the innocent." Xiao Jingyu sighed and defended justice.
In the next few days, Xiao Jingyu treated Han Qing with delicious drinks, just waiting for Gao Sheng to bring Mo's father over from Huainan to claim whether Han Qing belonged to his separated children.
Unexpectedly, something happened on the eve of the recognition of the child, which disrupted everyone's position......
