Chapter 042: Betraying the Old Master
readx;? The hall of Linglong Pavilion suddenly fell silent, Mangkhut was originally quite happy that she was promoted by Lu Yingquan, but she found that the eyes of the three people fell on her in unison, which made her uneasy for a while. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Mangosteen raised his head slightly and looked towards Lu Yingquan, but saw her holding a teacup in her hand, blew lightly, and then took a sip.
"Good ...... Beloved, if there is no other command, the slave and maid will go down first, and there are still some things in the kitchen that have not been done. Mangosteen suddenly became nervous and stammered.
"There's no hurry. Lu Yingquan put down the teacup, looked at her, and said, "Since you have been promoted to my side, someone will naturally do the kitchen thing." ”
"Yes. Mangosteen bowed his head and replied softly.
It was just a few short conversations, but Mangosteen felt as if she had fallen into a huge trap, and the atmosphere around her was very strange, and no one said anything more, but a thin layer of fine sweat had already appeared on her body.
After a long time, Lu Yingquan took the medicine powder packet from Yun Yao's hand and threw it in front of Mangkhut: "Tell me, what is this." ”
When Mangkhut saw the medicine powder packet, his face turned pale in an instant, and he looked at Lu Yingquan with a pair of eyes in horror, completely unexpectedly that his behavior would be unexpectedly exposed.
"This was found in your room, with the powder packet, and this note. Yun Yao said, unfolding the note and putting it in front of Mangosteen's eyes, letting her look at it, "The powder package is the powder ground from the medicinal herbs of the Shunzi Soup, am I right?"
"If no one knows, he must not do it. Sisi also followed behind and said, "Mangosteen, recruit it, the lover already knows everything." ”
Hearing this, Mangosteen knelt down in front of Lu Yingquan with a plop and cried: "The beloved forgives the sins, all this was done by Wei Liangren and the slave, not intentionally by the slave!"
Lu Yingquan and Yun Yao glanced at each other and nodded tacitly. It seems that Sisi's investigation direction is really not wrong, all of this is the ghost of Wei Liangren.
"You are from Linglong Pavilion, why would you listen to Wei Liangren's words and do things?" Yun Yao asked, "Even if Wanxin is your fellow sister, you don't need to put your life into it." ”
"If the slave does not listen to Wan Xin, then the slave's parents will suffer. Mangosteen said, and told all these things, "Wanxin is a first-class palace maid by Wei Liangren's side, she has the right to leave the palace, she told the slave maid that if the slave maid does not help her do things, she will go out of the palace and send someone back to her hometown to kill the slave's parents." The slave had no choice but to listen to her and mix the powder into her beloved's tea. ”
"How do you and Wanxin usually get in touch?" Yun Yao asked again, although she already knew the method in her heart, she always asked for a certificate.
"There is a small hole in the corner of the south wall of Linglong Pavilion, just enough to put your hand in. Mangosteen honestly explained, "Wanxin made an appointment with the slave maid to go to the south wall every five days, and she would give the medicine powder and the task to the slave maid and maid, and let the slave and maid do it." Before handing things in, she will also learn the cicada song, and the slave and maid should make three sounds, which is a code. ”
"So these powders are for five days, and after five days, will she come again?" Yingquan raised her eyebrows, confirming again.
She didn't know when this plan started, but it would definitely take some time to accumulate in order to cause the effect of pregnancy. She couldn't help but sigh that the women in this palace had a careful plan, if it weren't for her being clear about her body, and Yun Yao by her side, I'm afraid she would really think that she was pregnant.
"Yes, this packet of medicinal powder was delivered by her in the middle of the night last night, today is the first day, and she will come again in the middle of the night in four days. Mangosteen said, "This mission is to ask the slave to inquire about when Lu Liangren's menstrual affairs began, so that she can find evidence of Lu Liangren's menstrual affairs, and complain to the Queen Mother about her beloved's fake pregnancy and competition for favor." ”
"It's a lot of work. Lu Yingquan snorted coldly and said, "Sisi, find a few people to take care of this girl, don't leak the news, four days later, in the middle of the night, let's catch the thief." ”
"The slave obeys. Sisi answered, then found a rope, tied up Mangosteen, took a strip of cloth to plug Mangosteen's mouth, and asked Xiao Mozi to throw her to the firewood room and lock her up.
Mangosteen was controlled, and the meal was also stared at by Sisi and Yun Yao, and everything was fine.
Lu Yingquan greeted the Queen Mother with the other concubines every day as usual, and he was silent on the surface, as if he had not found anything. Every time she asked about the fetus in her womb, Lu Yingquan also said the words of Imperial Doctor Ye as they were.
It's nothing more than that the fetus is very healthy, everything is fine, and Wei Liang's heart is secretly refreshed when he hears it, waiting to see Lu Yingquan plant.
Soon it was night four days later, and Mangosteen had already been guarded, and there was no way to ventilate the news, so Wan Xin came over to deliver the powder packets and tasks as usual.
On the first watch, Lu Yingquan asked Xiao Mozi and Xiaomizi to stay by the south wall, hide behind trees, and act at the opportunity. And instead of mangosteen, it was silky to go to the south wall to get things.
Wan Xin was wearing a black cloak, wrapped herself tightly, and cautiously approached the south wall, the lantern in her hand was very dark, just enough to illuminate the road under her feet, and she couldn't see the surrounding situation clearly, so she didn't know that Xiao Mozi was guarding nearby.
As usual, Wan Xin stood by the south wall and learned the cicadas, not very loudly, but clearly audible in the silent night.
Sisi in the courtyard heard the sound, so she learned the cicada song three times according to Mangosteen, and soon she saw a hand sticking out of the small hole, with a medicine powder package and a note in her hand.
Seeing this, Sisi grabbed Wanxin's hand without hesitation and pulled it vigorously into the courtyard, so that Wanxin couldn't break free for the time being.
Seeing that Wan Xin seemed to be struggling, Xiao Mozi and Xiao Mi Zi outside glanced at each other, hurriedly ran up, one covered Wan Xin's mouth, and the other grabbed Wan Xin's arm, and soon grabbed Wan Xin.
All these things happened in an instant, and Wan Xin didn't know what was going on, so she was taken to the Linglong Pavilion.
"Kneel down-" Xiao Mozi pushed her, and put a foot in the crook of Wanxin's leg, making her kneel in front of Lu Yingquan, ready to reply.
Lu Yingquan waved his hand and asked Xiao Mozi and Xiaomizi to go down and guard at the door, leaving only Yun Yao and Sisi in the room, after all, there are some things, the fewer people who know, the better.
"What a rare guest, Wanxin girl next to Wei Liangren, didn't sleep in the middle of the night, ran to my remote place, I don't know what to do?" Lu Yingquan leaned on the soft couch, looked at Wanxin with a wide range of eyes, and asked.
Lu Yingquan is undoubtedly a stunning beauty, even if she is lazy and half-lying here, she has a unique style. Her tone was not harsh, but it was contemptuous.
"The slave maid is just here to send something to her good sister, how can she offend Lu Liangren?" Wanxin said nonchalantly, as if such a pale and weak statement could exonerate herself.
"Mangosteen told me everything, and these pill powder packets handed over from you, do you really think I will believe you, just to send something to my good sister?" Lu Yingquan sneered and asked.
"Since Lu Liangren already knows, then what do you want to ask the slave and maid for?" Wan Xin had no repentance on his face, "The beloved can take these evidence, and then take the slave and maid to His Royal Highness and the Queen Mother, saying that the slave and maid drugged the beloved and gave the beloved a false appearance of pregnancy." ”
"Then you took a bite in front of the Queen Mother and Her Royal Highness, saying that you inadvertently discovered Lu Liangren's means of fake pregnancy to compete for favor, and she arrested you to frame you, right?" Yun Yao's words pierced Wanxin's plan.
Wanxin's face turned pale, looked at Yun Yao, pursed her lips, and was speechless.
She really planned to do so, as long as Lu Yingquan dared to catch her and sue King Yi and the Queen Mother, she would bite back, saying that Lu Yingquan was fake pregnant and competing for favor, and she inadvertently found out, in order to kill her, so Lu Yingquan wanted to frame her.
In this way, even if Lu Yingquan is not convicted of competing for favor because of fake pregnancy, he will be charged with an innocent crime, at least he can plant the seeds of doubt in the hearts of King Yi and the Queen Mother, and let the people in the harem know that this Lu Yingquan is an unscrupulous person.
But she didn't expect that her little thought would be seen so clearly by a girl next to Lu Yingquan.
"Who said that I was a fake pregnancy and competing for favor? The fetus in my womb, but Imperial Doctor Ye diagnosed it in front of the Queen Mother, it is true!" Lu Yingquan glanced at Wan Xin, the corners of his mouth still hung with a smile but not a smile, and then picked up the bowl on the table next to him, and drank the decoction that had been prepared in the bowl long ago.
Wanxin looked at Lu Yingquan's movements, and seemed to be a little unsure of what she was going to do.
After about a cup of tea, Lu Liangren's face began to sweat, his face became pale, he covered his aching stomach, and ordered:
"Go to the Hall of Light to tell Your Highness, someone broke into the Linglong Pavilion at night and drugged my tea, the fetus ...... I'm afraid I can't keep it!"
"The slave obeys. When Sisi heard this, she immediately turned around and left, and took the millet and went towards the Hall of Light.
Wanxin knew what Lu Yingquan wanted to do, she was shocked by Lu Yingquan's scheming, and began to look for a way to get rid of the crime in her mind, but after thinking about it for a long time, she realized that she was pulled into a dead end by Lu Yingquan.
She suddenly discovered that Lu Yingquan had long known that she was not pregnant, but she did not say a word, and did not expose Wei Liangren's drugging of her and made her fake pregnant; In this way, it is obvious that Lu Yingquan is faking pregnancy to compete for favor, but he has become Wei Liangren who plots to kill the emperor's heir!
If she tells the truth about Lu Yingquan's fake pregnancy, then Wei Liangren will inevitably be implicated, and coupled with Mangkhut's testimony, she can't run away at all!
Seeing this, Yun Yao took out a packet of medicinal powder from her sleeve and replaced the packet of avoidance soup powder on the ground with saffron.
In this way, things are more logical - Wei Liangren was jealous that Lu Liangren was pregnant, and sent a personal palace maid with saffron to drug Lu Liangren late at night, causing Lu Liangren to have a miscarriage.
Wan was in a hurry, she didn't know why things had changed like this, suddenly her body weakened, she collapsed to the ground, looking at Lu Yingquan and Yun Yao with some despair, and her heart sank to the bottom.
