Chapter Twenty-Six: Helplessly, the Flowers Fall
Jia Wanyi, who favored the harem, fell out of favor like this, since yesterday's incident was not told by Yun Xize, then who was plotting against her behind her back?
The unwilling Jia Wanyi soon found out about Concubine Li.
The next night, the angry Jia Wanyi came to the Yaoguang Hall accompanied by Liu Guiren.
Yun Tian clearly remembered that this day was the night of May 17 in the first year of Daxing, it was early summer, and when she felt irritable about the slightly stuffy breath of the first arrival, Rui'er, who had always been calm, rushed to the inner hall like a tornado and said to her urgently: "Little master, the big thing is not good, the emperor sent an edict to all the concubines to gather in the Yaoguang Palace, saying that Jia Wanyi died violently in the Yaoguang Palace!" ”
Yun Tian was taken aback when he heard this: "How can a good big living person say that it is gone?!" What's going on? Rui'er, can you be clear? ”
"The slave doesn't know exactly what's going on!" Rui'er helped Yun Tian to rush to the Yaoguang Palace, and explained, "I heard that the emperor turned over the sign of Xiang Guifei tonight, and Xiang Guifei said that the night was good tonight, so she invited the emperor to come out to watch the stars...... Who knew that she saw Jia Wanyi lying in a pool of blood, out of breath! ”
Yun listened to Rui'er's narration, his head racing.
When I walked to the Yaoguang Palace, although the entire Yaoguang Hall was full of concubines, it was as quiet as a morgue. Yun Tian couldn't help but be frightened when she saw this, she stood quietly aside, raised her eyes, and saw Jia Wanyi lying in a pool of blood, which had been covered with a white cloth, and in addition to a bloody candlestick with no candles on her side, there were two people kneeling, one was the frightened Li Guifei, and the other was Liu Guiren who was crying silently on Jia Wanyi.
So, is this murderer Li Guifei or Liu Guiren? Or is it someone else?
At this moment, the screams of the chamberlain suddenly broke through the dead silence, and it seemed so deafening: "The queen has arrived!" ”
Yun tilted her eyes and looked sideways, only to see that Wang Ningxuan's footsteps seemed so disordered at this moment, even if she was a toddler who had just learned to walk, it was not too much, she looked at the scene in front of her, and was so surprised that she said two words: "Your Majesty ......"
Xi Ze didn't look at her, and instructed Sixi beside him: "Now that the queen has arrived, the trial can start now, Sixi, move a chair for the queen!" ”
"Yes!" Sixi has always been cautious and neat, and it will soon be served properly.
Xi Ze stared at Concubine Li coldly, and asked in a deep voice, "Concubine Li, this person is not in your Yaoguang Palace!" Now that everyone in the harem is here, then, first of all, you, the lord of the Yaoguang Palace, will truthfully explain the ins and outs of the matter! If you dare to tell half a lie, you are tantamount to deceiving the king! ”
Concubine Li settled down, covered her chest that was still undulating with one hand, and pointed to Liu Guiren on the side with the other, trying to make her tone sound calm: "Yesterday, Jia Wanyi was reprimanded in the Middle Palace, she felt that it was the concubine who was plotting against her, and she came to Xingshi with Liu Guiren tonight to ask for the guilt, the concubines didn't want to deal with them, but they pressed step by step, just when the concubines were arguing, Liu Guiren suddenly grabbed the candlestick on the table......" She pointed to the candlestick on the ground and said to Xi Ze, "Your Majesty, it's this candlestick, Liu Guiren blew out the fire on this candlestick and removed the candle, and then ...... Then he stabbed Jia Wanyi from behind with lightning speed and killed Jia Wanyi! The concubine was so frightened that her soul was scattered...... I just know how to scream...... When the concubine came to her senses, the emperor and the servants had already come in, but Liu Guiren pushed a qiē on the concubine, but it was really not the concubine's doing, the concubine was wronged! Please Emperor Mingjian! ”
After saying that, she kowtowed to Xi Ze while crying.
However, Liu Guiren, who calmed down on the side, not only was not afraid to defend when he heard this, but raised a miserable smile, and gradually, the laughter became louder and louder, but the more she laughed, the more worrying it became, as if a pair of invisible hands were holding her throat tightly, and soon, really soon, she was about to suffocate.
When Concubine Li heard this, she couldn't help but stop knocking down, and looked at Liu Guiren blankly.
At this moment, Concubine Xiang, who was sitting on the other side of Xi Ze, suddenly said sharply: "Liu Guiren, the emperor and queen are all here, how can you be presumptuous?!" ”
Only then did Liu Guiren stop laughing.
Concubine Li, who came back to her senses here, quickly looked at Liu Guiren and roared sharply: "Liu Manyu, what are you laughing at?" ”
Liu Guiren gritted his teeth and said, "What am I laughing at?" I laughed at the sky and had eyes, when you killed Sister Jia, the emperor was outside the Yaoguang Palace, and when he heard my exclamation, he immediately rushed in! Otherwise, after you kill Sister Jia and kill me, there will be no one to avenge this grievance! She stared at Concubine Li, and the hatred in her eyes could almost immediately erupt a fire dragon, "Concubine Li, you said that the concubine killed Sister Jia, and the concubine only asked you one sentence, regardless of the fact that the concubine and Sister Jia are sisters is a well-known thing in the harem, Sister Jia drowned, it was the concubine who rescued her ashore, and the concubine tried her best to save her from danger, please give the concubine a reason to harm her!" ”
Concubine Li couldn't say a word for a long time when she heard this.
The surrounding concubines whispered constantly, and at this moment, Dan Guifei, who had been watching the show on the side, felt that the time was ripe, and she was the first to come out of the queue, and said hatefully: "Li Guifei, so far, what else do you have to say, last time you hurt Chengyou to fall from the tree, so you pulled Sister Rong to back for you, today in order to escape responsibility, do you still want to pull the innocent Liu Guiren to back for you?" Do you take everyone for a fool? If you were to kill someone, would you sacrifice your life again and again? If Liu Guiren really wanted to put Jia Wanyi to death, then when Jia Wanyi drowned, she could not save it! It doesn't make sense! I thought that after the ban was lifted, you really repented and reformed, but I didn't expect you to be a set in front of you and a set behind your back, which is really insidious! After that, she turned her head to look at Xi Ze again, and said earnestly, "Your Majesty, the matter has become clear, Li Guifei relies on the support of the middle palace, regards the law and discipline of the harem as nothing, and repeatedly does evil, I really can't condone it, such a wicked woman can't be tolerated, otherwise the harem will be uneasy, and I ask the emperor to make a holy judgment!" ”
As soon as her voice fell, Lu Meiren immediately followed up and said: "The emperor Mingjian, Concubine Li has always been vicious, in the past, everyone in the middle palace asked her to run on every day, and if she was not satisfied, she would be scolded loudly, but now it is just a superficial effort, she is jealous that Sister Jia invited the emperor to save Rong Meiren and the emperor's eldest son, causing him to be grounded and demoted, so she has evil thoughts and waits for an opportunity to retaliate, there are all human and material evidence, and there is a motive, the emperor Shengming, he will definitely not indulge the real murderer!" ”
So all of a sudden, those concubines who used to be-for-tat or flattering with Concubine Li all fell into the well one after another, and Yun Tilt listened to the buzzing of his head, which was really a headache.
Yun Tian secretly thought, the real world is hot and cold, probably like this.
At this moment, Xi Ze's heavy shout came from above: "Enough! ”
There was a moment of silence below!
After a long time, Xi Ze was a little angry, looked at Li Guifei coldly and said, "Li Guifei, I will ask you one last time, who killed Jia Wanyi?" ”
