readx;? Rong Ya's words blocked all the remaining words that Wu Qianwen wanted to say in her throat, and she couldn't say anything. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Yun Yao knew that Rong Ya was angry with herself, and she was moved in her heart, but she didn't want Wu Qianwen to be too embarrassed, so she said: "Miss Wu, Yun Yao has never thought of coercing her to repay her, and Miss Wu doesn't have to take this matter to heart." It's getting late, and the queen is still waiting, so I'll take my leave first. ”
After saying this, Yun Yao bowed slightly to Wu Qianwen, and then walked to Rong Ya's side, accompanied Rong Ya back to the Hehuan Palace, and left Wu Qianwen behind.
Although this incident was only a small episode, it was like a bone in the throat, imprinted in Yun Yao's heart.
When Rong Ya returned to the Hehuan Palace, she instructed Xiao Haizi to inquire about the situation near Jianzhang Palace, because she knew that Zhou Meiren and Yang Liangren were already on their way to Jianzhang Palace.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for the originally silent Jianzhang Palace to start lively.
The sky has completely darkened, and the half-moon is hanging in the sky, and the Jianzhang Palace is brightly lit at this time.
The Queen Mother sat on the top, looking at the two young and beautiful women kneeling in the hall with silent eyes, exuding a majesty all over her body. And next to her, sat the current saint who had not stepped into the Jianzhang Palace for a long time, Shen Ze.
Since the sudden flood in the south, Shen Ze has been obsessed with the state affairs of the court, and rarely comes to Jianzhang Palace to ask the Queen Mother for peace, and the Queen Mother has become a lot lazy because of the summer heat, and has never bothered with the emperor about these things.
"Yang Liangren, tell me, what evidence do you have to prove that Yang Yushi's death has something to do with Zhou Meiren?"
"Back to the Queen Mother's words, the concubine listened to a palace maid in Mingluan Palace. Yang Liangren said, "This palace maid told the concubine in person that she heard the conversation between Zhou Meiren and Lianxin, and said that she wanted Zhou Taichang to send someone to assassinate the concubine's father, so that the concubine had nothing to rely on in the deep palace." ”
"The Empress Dowager Mingjian, this matter is pure nonsense from Yang Liangren, and the concubine didn't want to do this!" Zhou Meiren shouted, "This is all made up by Yang Liangren in order to frame the concubine, and please ask the Empress Dowager Mingjian!"
"The Queen Mother, the concubine has evidence!" Yang Liangren said, "Please also ask the Queen Mother to allow the concubine to bring the evidence!"
The Queen Mother listened to the dispute between the two and did not hesitate at all, and agreed to Yang Liangren's proposal and allowed her to submit the evidence.
After all, in the heart of the Queen Mother, she had already believed Yang Liangren's words, because Yun Yao had also found out that Zhou Meiren was related to Xiao Xi's death, and Xiao Xi was the one who poisoned Yun Yao with seven days.
When Yang Liangren saw that the Queen Mother agreed, a trace of joy flashed in his heart, so he glanced at Ying'er behind him. saw that Ying'er went out quickly, brought Chenlu in from outside Jianzhang Palace, and then the two knelt on the ground together.
"Slave maid morning dew, knock to see the queen mother. After Chenlu knelt down, he opened his mouth to salute the Queen Mother with a very respectful attitude.
"Is it you? What benefit did Yang Liangren give you to frame me like this?" As soon as Zhou Meiren saw Chenlu, she immediately became embarrassed and shouted at Chenlu, "If you dare to slander me, be careful I want you to look good!"
"Presumptuous!" When the Queen Mother heard this, she immediately scolded, "This is the Jianzhang Palace of the Mourning Family, not your Mingluan Palace, and it is not your turn to teach the slaves!"
When Zhou Meiren heard this, her face turned pale, and she immediately lowered her head, afraid for a while. She was used to reprimanding Chenlu on weekdays, and when she saw Chenlu open her mouth, she shouted angrily, completely forgetting that this was Jianzhang Palace, not a place where she could call the shots. Fortunately, she didn't say anything else, otherwise the Queen Mother would not have let her go.
"The concubine didn't dare. Zhou Meiren whispered, then shrank and stopped talking.
She didn't believe that this morning dew could come up with any evidence, after all, Yun Yao had been investigating for so long, and she didn't find any clues, and Lianxin had always been cautious in doing things, so it was impossible to leave any flaws, this morning dew must be to take revenge on her, so she deliberately said so.
"Chenlu, right? Do you have evidence that Zhou Meiren poisoned Young Envoy Yun?" asked the Queen Mother.
"Back to the Queen Mother's words, the evidence is not in the hands of the slave maid, but in the Mingluan Palace. Chenlu spoke, "The slave maid heard the conversation between Zhou Meiren and Lianxin's sister, and Zhou Meiren instructed Lianxin to poison Yun Shao's envoy, this poison is called Seven Days Entanglement, which was sent to the palace by Zhou Taichang to save Zhou Meiren's life. This poison was contained in a blue and white porcelain bottle, and only half of it was used to poison Yun Shao before, and half of it was left in Zhou Meiren's bedroom. As long as the Queen Mother sends someone to search, she will definitely be able to find it. ”
When Chen Lu said this, she swore an oath, her eyes were firm, even in the face of the Queen Mother, she did not have any cowardice, and every word was a testimony to Zhou Meiren.
"You are talking nonsense! You must be because I scolded you a few more words on weekdays, so you have a grudge against me and were bribed by Yang Liangren, so you will frame me like this. Zhou Meiren said, "A slave like you, what you say is completely untrustworthy!"
"Jinxiu, you take people to Mingluan Hall to search, especially Zhou Meiren's bedroom, inside and out, carefully go through the mourning family. The Queen Mother didn't pay attention to Zhou Meiren, but commanded Jinxiu.
She only believes in such a thing, and only Jinxiu will not deceive her in the entire palace, and will be good for her wholeheartedly, so such an errand is naturally done by Jinxiu herself, so it is safe.
Jinxiu took the order and left, the atmosphere in the hall was very depressing, Shen Ze did not speak, his eyes stared at the two women below, and there was a trace of coldness in his eyes.
Whether it is Yang Liangren or Zhou Meiren, they are not worthy of sympathy, although they are just victims of political struggles, but they are really hateful to make waves in the harem for their own selfish interests.
"Yang Liangren, you have just been lifted from the grounding order, how do you know about Zhou Meiren sending someone to assassinate Yang Yushi?"
He is sitting here, it is impossible not to say anything and not ask, otherwise the Queen Mother will also doubt his intentions, true and false, false and real, is the best state.
"Emperor Qiqi, about this matter, the concubines also listened to this morning dew. She said that when the news of her father's death spread to the capital, into the harem, and to the Mingluan Palace, she happened to see Zhou Meiren and Lianxin celebrating with their foreheads, and got carried away in excitement, and inadvertently said that they bought murder. Yang Liangren said.
"It's really a joke, you also believe the words of a palace maid, if it's really me, why should I go to the trouble of killing Yang Yushi, I killed you directly, isn't it a hundred? What's more, this palace maid just wants to provoke the relationship between you and me, let us fight each other, and she can sit and reap the benefits. Zhou Meiren listened to Yang Liangren's words and spoke quibblingly again.
Before all the conclusive evidence appeared, she couldn't mess with herself, she clearly remembered that the bottle of poison that had been wrapped in seven days was all given to Xiaoxi, Xiaoxi used half of it, and the remaining half was poured into the bucket of water, and several animals were blocked. And Chenlu said that there was still half a bottle in the Mingluan Palace, which was clearly a lie.
Therefore, Zhou Meiren was sure that Jinxiu could not find evidence in Mingluan Palace, so she was not afraid at all. Since there is no evidence that she poisoned Yun Yao, it means that she cannot be linked to Gu Qingming's poisoning through seven days of entanglement, and the suspicion that she bought murder can naturally be ruled out.
"What I'm listening to you is a big joke. She is a palace maid, what kind of profit can she receive? Even if we fight with each other, what good will it do her?" Yang Liangren snorted coldly and retorted.
"Don't forget, her sister Dawn's death was due to you. If it weren't for you to frame Young Envoy Yun and buy Dawn to put those cursed birth characters in the Hehuan Palace, causing me to suffer the disaster of blood light, Dawn would not have died. Zhou Meiren said, "You killed her sister, doesn't she hate you? How can she testify for you? Don't fall into someone else's trap without knowing it!"
I have to say that compared with the brainless Yang Liangren, Zhou Meiren is indeed slightly better, but she is still impulsive, and she actually told these things in Jianzhang Palace in front of the Queen Mother.
"Hmph! Do you think Chenxi's death was caused by me alone? Doesn't it have anything to do with you? If it weren't for the lotus heart next to you who came out to testify, Chenxi wouldn't have been exposed so quickly. Yang Liangren said, "She hates you more than me, and she can expose your crimes, of course Chenlu has to tell the truth." ”
In fact, Yang Liangren was very unconfident when he said these words. Because Zhou Meiren's words reminded her that this Chenlu was likely to hate her, but Chenlu was still willing to help her testify when she hated her, which showed that this Chenlu had other plans. Even if it wasn't for Morning Dew's scheme, it was because they all fell into someone else's trap.
But at this time, it is meaningless to talk about this, because she has already bitten Zhou Meiren, if she retracts her confession at this time, it will be difficult to explain in front of the Queen Mother, and she missed the opportunity of morning dew, and it will not be so easy to bring down Zhou Meiren in the future.
"What a wonderful drama!" The Queen Mother suddenly said angrily, "The mourning family never knew that the concubines in the harem of Daning were actually such a parenting." Climbing and biting each other like shrews in the market, and even in front of the mourning family and the emperor, you fight for me, should you be dead to the mourning family and the emperor?"
In the face of the Queen Mother's anger, Zhou Meiren and Yang Liangren suddenly wilted, and the two knew that their words and deeds just now were inappropriate, which had caused a lot of speculation from the Queen Mother, and now they dare not make it again.
Especially Yang Liangren, because of the curse, she was grounded for so long, and her father died because of it, and she was finally released, she didn't want this matter to be mentioned again. If she angered the Queen Mother, brought up the old matter again, and grounded her again, wouldn't she lose a lot?
At this time, Jinxiu led people to search around the Mingluan Hall and had returned.
"The Empress Dowager Qi, the slave maid was ordered to search the Mingluan Palace, and sure enough, she found the blue and white porcelain vase that Chenlu said. Jinxiu held the small porcelain vase in both hands and said respectfully, "Before the slave maid returned to Jianzhang Palace, she had already sent someone to the Imperial Doctor's Office to ask for the Imperial Doctor. ”
