Chapter 33: The Quarrel
Du Yinxuan lowered her head and played with her fingers, ignoring Yuwen Lin, the queen was extremely angry and reprimanded: "Why is she at fault? ”
Du Yinxuan raised her head, with a hint of resentment, and looked at Queen An Jing quietly, but the gaze that seemed to see through everything made Queen An Jing feel shocked, as if she had been spied on.
Seeing this, Yuwen Lin leaned to Du Yinxuan's side, and asked softly, "Did you contradict the queen mother just now?"
"Ahh ”
"Don't!" Du Yinxuan resisted, turning her head to look out the window.
"Where did you get this pampered little childishness?" Yuwen Lin suddenly became angry, seeing that his face was gloomy, but his tone was not blunt, he didn't want his mother to be angry, but he didn't want Du Yinxuan to think that he was biased, and he was in a dilemma.
Du Yinxuan turned his head and glanced at him hurriedly, seeing that he was not in good spirits, I was afraid that he would not be able to get rid of Queen Suiyuan, obviously so tired, and there were a lot of troubles when he came back, but it was like this that he seemed to be exhausted, which made Du Yinxuan feel compassion and said with a weak heart: "How can I have?"
"I apologized to the queen mother if I didn't. ”
Yu Wenlin's hand was on the corner of Du Yinxuan's mouth that gently rubbed it, intimate and a little spoiled, Du Yinxuan was stunned in place, his hand was a little cold, and for a moment it crossed her face, Du Yinxuan was shocked, and after being stunned for a moment, she subconsciously tilted her head back to avoid it, and a touch of shyness appeared on her face.
In order to hide this sudden throbbing, Du Yinxuan turned to Queen An and hurriedly said: "Okay, my fault, it's my fault, it's my fault, I hit the queen mother, and I won't dare to do it again." ”
When Queen An heard this insincere apology, she was furious again, and was about to get angry, Yuwen said: "Queen Mother, Yin Xuan knows that mistakes can be corrected, this time you don't remember the villain, don't worry." ”
Queen An was very angry, "Lin'er......! How can you be so used to someone of unknown origin?"
"The origin is unknown, the queen mother, you are questioning Yin Xuan's identity. Yu Wenlin reminded Queen An Jian that this is not a question of whether the identity is true or false, but also about the diplomatic relations between the two countries.
Queen An Jian didn't realize that she was speechless, and took out the bracelet that Du Yinxuan handed over to her.
"What do you think this is?"
Du Yinxuan was dumbfounded, she just hinted at her, she hadn't told her about Fu'er's death, Queen Anjian took out the bracelet herself, wasn't she afraid that Du Yinxuan would burn her jade?
Yuwen Lin's cold eyes flashed with a trace of worry, and in the blink of an eye, there was nothing left, and he asked calmly, "What does this represent?"
"This bracelet, she personally handed it to the queen mother, Yingying has clearly thrown it away, and now it is in her hand, she must have gone down to the lotus pond, but no one knows, even if she is accompanied by a palace maid, she does not, a woman, dare to enter the lotus pond alone, is that still a person?"
Queen An Jian looked at Du Yinxuan with the eyes of a monster, but Yu Wenlin didn't care if Du Yinxuan was a monster, or at this time, he could only silently pray that Du Yinxuan would not be angry, but looking at Du Yinxuan's calm face, Yu Wenlin suddenly looked at Queen An Xuan worriedly, which made her very incomprehensible.
"Queen Mother, why can't a woman enter the lotus pond alone? Could it be that a woman must be cowardly, afraid of that little water? Not to mention that Yin Xuan is different from ordinary women. ”
Du Yinxuan looked at Yu Wenlin when he heard this, and he was a little more appreciative, he knew everything, and had already reminded Queen An Jian that Du Yinxuan was not an ordinary woman, and the queen was bent on getting rid of her, but she forgot about her own situation.
Queen An Jian said, "What is the situation with the lotus pond, she is not afraid?
Queen An Jian said that Du Yinxuan was powerless to answer, but suddenly another question quietly arose in her heart, how did such a queen who didn't know how to be tactful gain a firm foothold in this harem?
Yu Wenlin said again: "Queen Mother, the reason why the lotus pond was abandoned, Yin Xuan doesn't know, there is no need to embarrass her, what's more, this bracelet was found by this king, and it has nothing to do with her." ”
Hearing this, the Queen Mother stood up abruptly and said in shock: "What? Did you enter the lotus pond?"
"Imperial grandmother, it's a grandson!" Yuwen Lin nodded firmly, the queen's face froze for a moment, she couldn't believe it, and asked repeatedly: "Lin'er, are you really in the water?"
Yuwenlin smiled lightly: "Queen Mother, Erchen's body is fine, although the water is cold, but Erchen also went to look for it at noon, and he didn't feel cold, he just looked for it for a while." ”
When the queen heard this, her heart was even more sour, and she lowered her eyes and repeated: "At noon?"
But Du Yinxuan looked at the Queen Mother and found that her expression hadn't changed much, just a little fugue.
After a while, Queen Mu Ran nodded, "Yes, it's better to find some at noon, Lin'er, ...... in the lotus pond."
Yu Wenlin immediately answered, "The silt has accumulated under the lotus pond for a long time, but fortunately, the bracelet is not very heavy and has not sunk." ”
The queen looked at Yu Wenlin's application, as if she didn't know that there was such a thing, her emotions calmed down for a while, and she said tentatively: "What else do you see?"
"No, Queen Mother, what's wrong?"
"No, I'm afraid that there will be disobedient maids in the palace who will throw something unclean. ”
Listening to Queen Anjian's words, the only smile on Yu Wenlin's face disappeared, and he solemnly emphasized: "It's just a lot of silt." ”
Even so, the queen still didn't give up: "But even if you go down to the lotus pond, Du Yinxuan's sin is still there, and some guards see that she used witchcraft on you and Wan'er, she is harming you!"
"Queen Mother, the more you talk about it, the more outrageous it becomes" Yu Wenlin's eyebrows frowned slightly, his face was full of tiredness, Queen An glanced at it, and no longer dared to look at his face, her voice was slightly hoarse, "The maid next to the queen mother saw it with her own eyes, she must still be hiding in the house." ”
Yu Wenlin also didn't believe that the queen could make evidence to slander Du Yinxuan, so he relaxed his heart and said: "Since the queen mother has said so, then search it, and then make another conclusion when you find it." ”
Du Yinxuan chuckled in her heart when she heard this, and suddenly her heart was pounding, and sure enough, after some searching, the palace maid heard a palace maid say in a moment: "The prince, the queen mother, the queen, the puppet is here." ”
Yu Wenlin took the puppet away, and the more he looked at the costume of the puppet with a female figure, the more he felt familiar, and Du Yinxuan could only watch his face become colder and colder.
"Du Yinxuan, what else do you have to say?" the queen asked Du Yinxuan arrogantly, and she could only respond calmly, "What do the two puppets represent?"
The Queen Mother said calmly: "Simon is good at witchcraft, what do the two puppets represent, you know it in your heart, it will be even more embarrassing if you break it!"
Du Yinxuan looked at the Queen Mother vigilantly, she didn't say a word just now, and now she sneered at her.
Yuwen Lin wished he hadn't seen it, and Du Yinxuan had killed him more than once, the evidence was in front of her, and her identity was also in a fog, but it was difficult to choose whether she could be trusted or not.
"If I use these two puppets to do witchcraft, how can I leave evidence for the Queen Mother and Mother to find out later? These are just two ordinary puppets, Yin Xuan likes to keep them, why not?"
The Queen Mother should arrive: "If you only keep Lin'er, it is reasonable, but Wan'er, what are you doing with it?"
“......”
Du Yinxuan was speechless for a while, keeping Jiang Wan'er's puppet, why? She didn't know it herself, so she babbled nonsense, "I think it's very good-looking, so I keep it." ”
Yu Wenlin looked at the exquisitely made puppets in his hand, smiled brightly, returned them to the palace maid, and said, "Ordinary, put them back." ”
The palace maid was surprised, met Yu Wenlin's gaze, or immediately put it back, the queen mother sat quietly aside, calmly watched, the queen wanted to cry without tears, "Son, why are you confused......"
"The Queen Mother, the Queen Mother, it's not good, it's not good, the Queen Mother ......"
There was an anxious voice from outside the door, everyone in the house restrained their emotions, the queen mother stood up with the support of the palace maid beside her, and saw that the father-in-law who came into the house was actually the father-in-law Hao next to the king, he was not waiting beside the king, but came here to make a noise, the queen mother was suddenly annoyed, and said angrily: "Shouting outside the Qingning Palace, what kind of system?"
"Queen Mother, Concubine Li hanged herself......" Gonggong Hao said anxiously, but Du Yinxuan didn't know who Concubine Li was.
"What?"
"Just now, King Guangling and the king went to Concubine Li's Jinli Palace, and the king and King Guangling had just left, and the news of Concubine Li's self-hanging came in less than a cup of tea. ”
"What about the king?" asked the queen.
"The king is in Jinli Palace, and Concubine Li has written a bloody ......"
What kind of person Concubine Li is, Du Yinxuan doesn't know, but looking at the expressions of her grandmother and grandson, Du Yinxuan believes that this blood book must be a threat to someone, but when she saw the blood-red characters on the white silk, Du Yinxuan was still shocked.
"I see her, and the next one is you. ”
It was his father's concubine who died, Yuwen Lin was inconvenient to stay for a long time, so he pulled Du Yinxuan and left, Du Yinxuan was able to see Concubine Li's face, although it was a glance, it was not difficult to recognize that she was the woman who appeared in the Liangchen Hall that night.
Back to Qingning Palace, Concubine Li hanged herself but led away a lot of palace maids, this place is finally clean, Du Yinxuan said: "Lord, I'll prepare hot water for you." ”
Du Yinxuan turned around and heard Yu Wenlin call her name softly, "Du Yinxuan." ”
Du Yinxuan looked back at him, and Yu Wenlin asked directly, "Did you go into the water?"
Du Yinxuan thought for a while and shook her head, "No." ”
"So, what about the bracelet?"
"It's still the queen mother!" Du Yinxuan pretended to be stupid and avoided the words, Yuwenlin debunked and said: "You know that I asked you how the bracelet was fished out of the lotus pond." ”
Du Yinxuan pondered again and again, what to say to make him accept, and finally chose to lie, "I went into the water......"
"Saw something. ”
"Nothing. ”
"Du Yinxuan, you are lying, this king doesn't like to listen to lies. Yu Wenlin grabbed Du Yinxuan's hand, as if he was suspected of being held hostage, Du Yinxuan tried to break free, but did not break free.
"I saw the maid who sent the third brother to the dinner. Du Yinxuan compromised and said.
"You'd better pretend you don't know anything. ”
Hearing this, Du Yinxuan's anger rose suddenly, and she shook off Yu Wenlin's shackles with all her might, and opened her mouth to reprimand,
"You're shielding your mother, you know everything, you know how many corpses there are in the lotus pond, it's not fair to the dead at all, isn't their life their life?"
"In this world, the survival of the strong is inherently, and those who do not survive can only mean that they are not strong enough. Yuwenlin had a clear conscience and spoke cruelly, guessing that with Du Yinxuan's temperament, he must have scolded him, but seeing that Du Yinxuan was silent, he looked at him in disappointment, and finally his eyes were wet, and Yuwenlin was confused when he saw this.
"So if you have the power, you can take the lives of others at will?
Sensing Du Yinxuan's anger, Yu Wenlin lowered his voice and no longer stimulated her, "Yinxuan, don't act like a person who knows everything, such people often don't live long." ”
Du Yinxuan said angrily: "I am already a dead man, what is there to be afraid of, afraid that your queen mother will kill me? Or are you afraid that you will kill me now?"
Yu Wenlin was slightly surprised, even if she was angry, but Yu Wenlin still cared about the sentence "is already a dead man", "This king didn't think about killing you, if you can, you'd better go back to your Simon, life and death have nothing to do with this king." ”
"My life and death have nothing to do with you. Du Yinxuan turned around angrily and walked to the door, and was pulled back by Yu Wenlin.
"Du Yinxuan, what do you want to do?"
"Don't worry, the person I protect with my conscience, I won't touch her, I go back to my Simon, and I don't want to stay in this dim Huiyue Palace again. ”
Du Yinxuan slammed the door and left, but Yu Wenlin couldn't find a reason to refute her words, the Huiyue Palace was indeed dark, which is why when the king asked him what reward he wanted, his first thought was to build a palace outside the palace.
