Chapter 104: Into the Cold Palace
Hua Guifei didn't know that the magpie would say this, "I don't have any malicious intentions, I just think that the family should understand, not to mention that the Queen Mother is an old man, I haven't visited her since I entered the palace, I have to know what the Queen Mother likes to be prepared, right? " Hua Guifei still didn't give up, hoping to impress the magpie with money again, "As long as you help Bengong this favor, you can ask Bengong for anything you want!"
Magpies are not rare at all, she is a heartfelt maid, and she will not betray and betray her former master, "Guifei Niangniang, this busy slave and maid really can't help, the Queen Mother has always been taken care of, and the slave and maid can't intervene at all, so I really don't know anything about these things, and I hope that Niangniang will forgive her sins!"
The magpie didn't plan to say it at first, but he never said it, and no matter what kind of conditions Hua Guifei offered, there would be no wavering.
Concubine Hua Guifei saw that no matter what she said, this magpie was not in the oil and salt, and she refused to say a word about the queen mother.
She pretended not to care: "Okay, this palace can only ask others, this palace plans to visit the queen mother and her old man in the next few days, if you have anything to think of or want to say, you can come to this palace at any time to find this palace." ”
"Thank you Niangniang, the slave will retire first!"
The magpie managed to escape the fate, but she didn't know what a cruel fate awaited her.
After the magpie left, Concubine Hua Guifei called the palace maid in charge, "Find a few people to tie her up to the palace, and the palace won't believe that she won't say anything." When things are done, it is called this palace, and this palace has a lot of rewards. ”
The palace maid received the order and ordered the matter to go on.
Not long after the magpie left, he felt someone following him, and when he turned around, his mouth was covered, and then he lost consciousness and fainted.
"Niangniang, the magpie has been caught and is being locked up in the firewood room in the backyard, does Niangniang want to go over now?"
"Let's go!"
When he arrived at the firewood room, the magpie was still in a coma before the medicine had passed, and the palace maid waved her hand, and a person came out behind her carrying a bucket and poured cold water on the magpie's body.
The magpie was splashed with water and gradually regained consciousness.
The magpie slowly opened his eyes, looked at Hua Guifei standing in front of him, and sighed in his heart, and immediately understood what was going on, it must be because Hua Guifei didn't say anything when she asked about the Queen Mother just now, so it caused the current situation.
Hua Guifei saw that the magpie woke up, and slowly approached, revealing a smile that was contrary to herself, "As long as you tell this palace about the queen mother's preferences and daily life, this palace will immediately let you go back, and then eat and dress for you, if you don't know what to do, this palace will no longer show mercy!"
Although it was coercion or inducement, it was useless for the magpie, and she would not betray the Queen Mother no matter what.
Seeing that the magpie was still stiff-mouthed and refused to say anything, Hua Guifei was really angry, so she pulled out the hairpin on her head and stabbed it at the magpie's arm.
The magpie screamed in pain, "Ah!"
"If you had to say it, you wouldn't have suffered so many sins!"
The magpie is not afraid of anything, even if Concubine Hua kills her, she is not afraid, not to mention that she is only injured a little.
Don't say anything about the magpie, Hua Guifei is really out of luck in the end, and it is not a way to lock the magpie for a long time, so she can only be let go first.
The magpie went back quietly, and only after packing up did he go to see Qin Luoyi, and sent the clothes he got back from the laundry room to Qin Luoyi's room.
When the magpie handed the beaded clothes, Qin Luoyi found the blood stains on the magpie's arm, and one of her hands was still trembling and shaking, Qin Luoyi immediately understood the reason for this, don't think about it, this must be the masterpiece of Hua Guifei.
After the magpie handed over the clothes to Liuzhu, he left, and Qin Luoyi didn't keep her more.
Qin Luoyi found Rong Yutao and met him in the pavilion.
"Concubine Hua has made a move!" After Rong Yutao got the news from the secret guard, he immediately rushed to see Qin Luoyi and told Qin Luoyi all this.
Qin Luoyi understood early in the morning, "I know, I saw an injury on the magpie's arm today and understood what was going on!"
"Then what do we do next?" Rong Yutao sought Qin Luoyi's opinion.
Qin Luoyi had long expected that Hua Guifei would have this step, so it would be better to do it now, "Then we will borrow the hand of Hua Guifei to get rid of this hidden danger in our hearts, if we don't come out, once our secret is known, it will be in vain." ”
"Is this going to be done by your people or by my people?"
Qin Luoyi doesn't want to get into any trouble, the plan hasn't succeeded yet, his revenge hasn't been avenged, and he can't show his feet first, "Your people do it, it's best not to have anything to do with me in this matter, the Queen Mother is a shrewd person, she will always find out, and all the charges will be taken by Concubine Hua!"
"That's a lot easier!"
After the magpie returned to the room, how did she feel wrong, Hua Guifei didn't just want to please the Queen Mother, she wanted to grab the handle of the Queen Mother from herself, and then she could do whatever she wanted, with the Queen Mother as a shield, the harem was hers.
Hua Guifei didn't get any news from the magpie, so she would definitely buy off other people around the queen mother, and the magpie felt the need to tell the queen mother about this matter, so that she could take more precautions.
The magpie didn't know that the world she saw with her eyes after she pushed open the door was the last time, on the way to the Queen Mother, Rong Yutao's people started the plan, and the magpie did it One of the victims of Qin Luoyi's revenge plan, according to Rong Yutao's instructions, these people did something to the magpie, pointing all the signs to Hua Guifei.
The magpie's body was dumped in a flower garden not far from the Queen Mother's residence.
The next day, when a palace maid went to the flower garden to pick flowers and soak the feet of the Queen Mother, she found the body of the magpie, she was half dead of fright, and hurried back to tell the Queen Mother about it.
"The Queen Mother, the Queen Mother is not good!"
The old man of the Queen Mother was resting quietly, and when she heard the loud noise of the palace maid, she couldn't help frowning, and asked angrily: "What's the matter, you're panicking!"
"The Queen Mother forgives her sins......! There's a dead man in the flower garden in front of you!"
"Dead?" The Queen Mother had a gloomy face, who would kill people in her territory so openly, and threw them into the flower garden.
The little palace maid trembled all over her when she thought of the dead corpse she had just seen, "Yes, it's a palace maid!"
"Do you know that man, do you know who it is?"
The little palace maid was so frightened that she almost couldn't speak, "That's it...... It's the magpie girl who waits beside the concubines of the third prince!"
"Magpie?" As soon as the Queen Mother heard this name, she immediately became angry, didn't the magpie follow Qin Luoyi? How could he die tragically in the flower garden?
"Go and call Qi Zuo to come to the autopsy, and call Qin Luoyi to the mourning family!"
Qin Luoyi was still taking a nap when he was woken up by the sound of quarrel outside the door, put on a dress and pushed the door open, and saw Liuzhu arguing with several palace maids who had never met, "Liuzhu, what happened?"
Before Liuzhu could speak, the leader of the palace maids in front of him said: "Madam, the Queen Mother has summoned you to come over, this maid is here to say that you are taking a nap, but the Queen Mother is in a hurry, so if you have an offense just now, please forgive me!"
It turned out to be the Queen Mother. Qin Luoyi calculated the time, if nothing else, the Queen Mother must be looking for her because of the magpie, so she asked the palace maids to go back first and immediately rushed over after cleaning up herself.
The Empress Dowager's palace was full of maids and guards.
The Queen Mother was sitting on the chair with an angry face, and when she saw Qin Luoyi coming, she waved her hand and motioned for her to come over, "Do you know where the magpie went?"
"Magpie, she hasn't seen her since she came to give me clothes in the morning, what's wrong, what's wrong?"
"The magpie is dead, and he was killed. The Queen Mother stared at her with a pair of eyes.
Qin Luoyi pretended to be completely unaware, "Ah, magpie...... How could she die?" said with a little urgency and sadness, "Yesterday was fine, why did she ...... Where did she die?"
"In the flower garden of the mourning family, the mourning family asked you, have you seen her in the past few days?" the queen mother continued to ask.
Qin Luoyi pretended to be in recollection: "Yes, when I saw her deliver clothes this morning, my arm seemed to be injured. ”
After listening to Qin Luoyi's words, the Queen Mother immediately sent someone to call her to see if there were any injuries on the magpie's body.
The answer was also expected: "There is indeed an injury, judging from the elbow, it seems that he was severely injured and beaten before he died, as for who...... It needs to be examined. ”
Qin Luo's body flickered, and a trace of unbearability flashed in his eyes, but he was quickly covered up.
She owed to the Queen Mother: "What do you say that the magpie is also my maid, I am also responsible for what happened to her, if you find out who the real culprit is, please tell the Queen Mother, in this way, the concubine is worthy of her!"
"That's it, it's a poor child, don't worry, this matter, the mourning family will never tolerate it!"
Qin Luoyi has not come out of the room since he came back from the Queen Mother. Everyone was talking, and some people said that they were afraid that the magpie would not end well.
And the matter of the queen mother's request to investigate on this side has made some progress, listening to the maid on Hua Guifei's side, I saw Hua Guifei put the magpie in the firewood room, and then when the magpie came out, her hair was messy, embarrassed, and her arm was dripping blood.
After the Queen Mother learned that Hua Guifei did this, she immediately called someone to find Hua Guifei.
Hua Guifei seemed to have been prepared, but she came in plain clothes, and when she saw the Queen Mother, she immediately knelt down: "Queen Mother, the concubine is at fault, I hope the Queen Mother will punish her!"
The Queen Mother looked at her suspiciously: "What are you guilty of?"
Hua Guifei knelt straight: "The concubine shouldn't have brought the maid in the palace of the third prince without permission, and tortured her." This matter is that the concubine is unsafe. ”
"Oh, so you admit you killed her?"
As soon as the Queen Mother said this, she was already a little angry, and Concubine Huagui's body stiffened, and she suddenly kowtowed her head heavily
