Chapter IX: Counter-planning and counter-planning
After a while, a little palace maid was brought up, and looking at her costume, she knew that she was from Huiyue Palace.
The little palace maid came up and knelt on the ground and said, "Spare your life, the slave and maid are forced." ”
The queen sneered: "Say, who asked you to poison the queen mother?" ”
The little palace maid raised her head, looked at the queen in surprise and said, "No one let the slave poison the queen mother?" ”
The queen's face changed, but she didn't expect that this little palace maid would temporarily change her confession. Angry in his heart, he said hideously: "Aren't you shouting that you were forced? Say, "Who compelled you?" What exactly did you do? ”
The little palace maid shrank to the ground with a frightened face, and cried: "Queen Mother, why did you forget? Didn't you ask your personal maid to bring an incense burner and let the slave light it in the concubine's room? As a result, the concubine had a miscarriage not long after. ”
The queen's face turned pale and shouted angrily: "It's nonsense." ”
Although the little palace maid looked like she was afraid of the Dao extreme, she said with a head: "Niangniang, after the concubine miscarried, the slave didn't dare to keep the incense burner, but it was not destroyed, and now it is buried under the poplar tree behind the treasury of Huiyue Palace." ”
The emperor hugged Leng Yue to the soft couch and covered the quilt for her with his own hands, his face was gloomy, but he couldn't see what he was thinking.
The Queen Mother snorted coldly: "Incense burner? The queen's mother did not learn the temperament of the world well, but she learned very well on the left side of the door. Come on, go and dig up the incense burner. ”
The little eunuch beside the Queen Mother answered and left in a hurry. Not long after, he returned with a cloth bag in his hand, placed it on the ground, and opened it to reveal a gilded incense burner.
The queen's face changed, the style of this incense burner was the same as the one in her Qifeng Palace, but the craftsman only made two at the beginning, and they were all there, how could there be one more now?
The Queen Mother said: "Queen, what else do you have to say?" ”
The queen knelt on the ground and tried her best to justify: "Queen Mother, there is indeed such an incense burner in the concubine's palace, but the concubine has never given it to the concubine, this incense burner must have been forged to frame the concubine.
”
The queen mother waved her hand, and the eunuch who had just taken the incense burner ran out again, this time it was a little long to go out, and he came back with an incense burner after a long time, and said: "Back to the queen mother, I searched all over the Qifeng Palace, and only found this one incense burner." ”
When the queen heard this, she raised her head suddenly, and she didn't defend herself, this is a frame-up, and she wants to add the crime of reading the book "download online, there is no excuse."
The Queen Mother sneered and said: "The queen plotted to kill the emperor's heir and entered the cold palace to reflect." ”
The queen cast a look at Concubine Mei for help, and Concubine Mei really stepped forward and knelt down and said: "Queen Mother, my sister is wronged, how can I convict my sister with a few words from this slave?" Your Majesty, please ask the Emperor to investigate this matter thoroughly and return my sister's innocence. ”
The emperor looked at the queen in embarrassment, then at the queen mother, and finally said: "The queen went to the cold palace to reflect for three months, and I will investigate this matter." ”
When the queen heard this, her heart suddenly turned like a knife, she glanced at the emperor with a pale face, and said sadly: "Your Majesty, have you ignored the love between husband and wife for many years?" ”
The emperor didn't speak, and the queen mother called the eunuch to drag the queen away. Concubine Mei didn't say anything more, and stepped aside, she was a woman who knew how to advance and retreat.
Leng Yue was sent back to Huiyue Palace, and the emperor stayed for a long time before leaving, and instructed the palace people to take good care of Leng Yue.
When Nian Jiuling saw the emperor leaving, he sat on the side of the bed and smeared medicine on Leng Yue's wound. Leng Yue woke up at this time, rubbed her eyes and said, "Have you eaten?" ”
Peaches burst out laughing, glared at the water spirit. Leng Yue got up and said, "How did I come back?" What happened? Have you found the incense burner in the Queen's Palace? ”
This Shui Ling couldn't help but laugh a little, and Nian Jiuling smiled: "You, you actually fell asleep." There was one less incense burner in the queen's palace, so he was punished by the emperor to go to the cold palace for three months to reflect. ”
"What? The queen has gone to the cold palace, so will Sister Yan and them be okay? Leng Yue was afraid that the queen would hurt them when she saw Concubine Yan.
Nian Jiuling said with a smile: "It's okay, the Queen Mother ordered, the queen will definitely not have a chance to contact the outside world in the cold palace." Concubine Yan is a person who knows martial arts, and it would be good if she didn't hurt the queen. ”
"Well, too, help me pass a word, let Sister Yan entertain the queen well, as long as no one dies, it's fine." Leng Yue knew that Concubine Yan was waiting for this day, and she was afraid that she would kill the queen, so she reminded her to be merciful.
Nian Jiuling nodded, shouted Ruyi, and ordered.
Leng Yue asked Shui Ling: "Shui Ling, is this the Queen Mother's strategy?" ”
Shui Ling said with a smile: "Hui Niangniang, it is the queen mother's strategy, and the little palace maid Zao'er is also the queen mother's person." The queen went to Zao'er and wanted to buy her off and ask her to identify Niangniang for poisoning the Queen Mother. Zao'er agreed on the surface, and went back to the Queen Mother. So the Queen Mother came up with this trick, and the Queen Mother really helped the mother. ”
Leng Yue nodded and said, "Now that we have an agreement, she naturally wants to help me." ”
Momoko wanted to say something, but was beaten back by an eye knife from Shui Ling. Shui Ling said: "Niangniang, what should we do now? ”
Leng Yue got under the bed, pried open the floor tiles, and took out a box. When the box was opened, there was a thick stack of paper inside. Leng Yue pushed the box forward and said, "Shui Ling, take a look, if you think those can be used, put them aside." Give me what you don't need, and I'll figure it out. ”
When Shui Ling and Momoko saw Leng Yue take out something from under the bed, and they didn't avoid them, they knew that they had completely gained Leng Yue's trust. As everyone knows, Leng Yue is gambling, betting on their loyalty, these papers are all recorded in the privacy of the ministers, if the two of them are not loyal, they will see the flaws in their screening of usable and useless officials.
Shui Ling and Peach looked at it again, revealing a contemplative look, and then separated one by one, and as a result, the stack of papers became three stacks.
Shui Ling pointed to the one on the left and said: "Niangniang, these people are from the queen's side, they are dead set on the Feng family, and they will never turn against them because of these crimes, but if these crimes are announced, then they will only die Xie Longen."
She pointed to the stack of papers in the middle and said: "These people can be described as grass on the wall, whoever gains power will follow whom, and the crimes they commit are just some chickens and dogs, thieves, incest and immorality, the crime is not to death, you can keep it, contain it, and maybe the little people can become big plans." After speaking, he pointed to a stack of papers on the right and said: "The sins of these people are great, and their official positions are also very high. Therefore, Niangniang can start with them first, coercion and lure, and it will not be so tricky to deal with the Feng family at that time. ”
Leng Yue looked at the three stacks of paper that were separated, and couldn't help nodding and praised: "Shui Ling's mind is very thoughtful, and he is worthy of being the person next to the Queen Mother." Shui Ling's analysis is very correct, she does not favor any family, it seems that they are loyal to themselves.
Leng Yue showed a smug smile on her face, and picked up the stack of papers on the right: "Let's go visit these people tonight, Ah Jiu, help me get some poison, the kind that makes people have abdominal pain and will not die." Peaches looked at the sinister smile on Leng Yue's lips and couldn't help but shudder......
