Chapter 591: Concubine Xian clarifies
"Sent by a concubine?"
Concubine Xian looked at Jiang Yao in astonishment, then at the incense burner, and then at the slave beside her, she didn't remember where she had gotten this kind of thing.
The slave and maid leaned over and said: "Niangniang, the congratulatory gift sent by the slave and maid that day, Niangniang has seen it, the situation is a pair of Taiji jade and some silk, and the reward of Niangniang herself is not much, and this kind of precious spice is sent there." ”
Jiang Yao pondered, looked at the wisps of smoke, and said thoughtfully: "But this incense burner appeared on the congratulatory gift of Concubine Xian, in recent days, there are still little palace maids in my palace who always run to Concubine Xian, this is not Concubine Xian, who should it be......"
Concubine Xian was immediately stunned when she heard this, knowing that someone was deliberately trying to frame her, she looked at the incense burner and immediately trembled, got up and knelt in the hall, and said: "Ask the queen to know that the incense burner is not something that the concubine can use." ”
Liu Shangyi stepped forward and moved the incense burner out, Jiang Yao looked at Concubine Song deeply, and continued unhurriedly: "This little palace maid is really smart, she wants to use the eldest prince and the second princess to instigate our relationship, and also use the eldest prince to move the incense burner into my palace." ”
"It's definitely not sent by the concubine, and there haven't been any little palace maids in my palace recently, and the concubines don't know who wants to blame me......"
"I was also curious, I thought it was Concubine Xian, but I didn't expect the person behind this to hide even deeper."
Jiang Yao looked at Concubine Xian's panicked expression, such a superficial planting, obviously pushing Concubine Xian out as a scapegoat, deepening the misunderstanding between the two of them, and causing infighting from the Ulan Kingdom.
Jiang Yao helped Concubine Xian up, "I also want to believe that it wasn't Concubine Xian's doing." ”
She helped Concubine Xian to sit back on her seat, and Concubine Xian looked at Jiang Yao very gratefully, "Thank you Niang Mingde, and the concubine is innocent, but the person behind this is really very scheming, is this to lead us to fight, so as to reap the benefits of the fisherman." ”
Concubine Xian is smart and has seen through this move, fortunately, both of them are smart people in Bingxue, and they can see through other people's plans without too many words, Jiang Yao sat down in the seat next to Concubine Xian, and also had a thoughtful expression.
"Who might have thought of it?"
"If you want to say that the palace is good at spices, it is the people of the Song family, Song Yi'er, the sister of Concubine Ying, was also a good hand in the palace in the past, and I heard that she also gave the emperor a sachet to avoid children, and the emperor wore it for more than half a year......
Concubine Xian covered her mouth and nose after speaking, and Jiang Yao muttered for a while: "Song family...... According to what Liu Shangyi said, after Concubine Xian's congratulatory gift, Concubine Ying's congratulatory gift came. ”
The two couldn't help but feel a look, and Concubine Xian held Jiang Yao's hand with one hand and said: "Queen Mother, the concubine has never been favored by the emperor, nor has she been favored overnight, and the concubine is not in love with the emperor, although she envies the queen's grace, humiliation has never been jealous and harmful." ”
Jiang Yao knew what Concubine Xian meant, patted her hand, and nodded, "I know, Concubine Xian, don't worry, I will definitely investigate and punish the people behind the scenes, and give you justice." ”
At this time, Liu Shangyi walked in with the little palace maid, and the little palace maid thought that she was receiving the reward, and knelt down with a smile on her face: "The slave maid sees the queen's mother, the virtuous concubine, and the auspicious Jin'an." ”
"You are a person who knows how to count etiquette, where was you in the palace before?"
"As soon as the slave maid came in, she was assigned to Xiang'an Palace, and later the Queen Mother said that she didn't like many people, so she was assigned to Jingyuan Palace, responsible for taking care of the eldest prince and the second princess together with Aunt Qin."
"You don't think you're too old."
"The slave is twelve this year."
Jiang Yao's voice became fierce and said, "Then why are you instigating the relationship between the eldest prince and me behind your back?" Who's behind you? ”
As soon as the little palace maid heard this, her body trembled suddenly, and she replied tremblingly: "The slave doesn't know what the queen mother means, and the slave didn't instigate." ”
Liu Shangyi hugged the extinguished incense burner, and there were wisps of green smoke inside, and the little palace maid looked at it and took a few steps back, looking very scared.
Concubine Xian pointed to the incense burner and asked her, "What is this?" Pretending to be a demon? It makes you scared like this! ”
"I didn't ...... No, just some spices. ”
Jiang Yao's eyes deepened, and she said coldly: "It's all this time, I've been sending someone to spy on you for several days, and you still refuse to admit it?" Don't you cry if you don't go into the coffin? ”
The little palace maid refused to speak, but her body trembled and didn't dare to look at the incense burner, Liu Shangyi stepped forward and grabbed her, and said: "If you don't want to speak, I will light the incense burner and lock it up with you, see if you recruit or not!" ”
"Don't! The slave doesn't want to go crazy! ”
The little palace maid roared out all of a sudden, and only after saying it did she realize that she had said the wrong thing, and immediately covered her mouth, Jiang Yao and Concubine Xian glanced at it and knew how powerful it was.
Liu Shangyi immediately tugged at the placket of Ya's clothes and asked, "Do you say it or not?" If it's not good, I'll throw you to the firewood room right away! ”
After all, the little palace maid was still young, and she was killed by the six gods without a master in three or two clicks, and immediately prostrate on the ground and said: "The slave and maid recruit ......."
"It was the people from Xiang'an Palace who told the slave and maid to do it, saying that there was an incense burner in the treasury, and there was a spice in it that could make people crazy, so that the slave and maid would take the opportunity to provoke the eldest prince and let the eldest prince bring it in and light it."
"Who instructed you in the Xiang'an Palace?"
"The slave only knows that it is a grandmother, and she commands it through the wall."
Liu Shangyi carried Xiao Gong's clothes and asked angrily: "What benefits did you promise to give you?" to commit such a capital crime of killing the head. ”
"After promising the slave and maid, let the slave and maid leave the palace, marry a rich merchant, and enjoy a lifetime of glory and wealth."
Concubine Xian snorted coldly, "You believe in this kind of inferior rhetoric, I'm afraid you won't live to be the first in three years, and you will die." ”
The little palace maid said with a look of disbelief: "No, that grandmother has already taken a large sum of money for the slave's family, as much as five hundred taels......
"Then that's your life money."
The little palace maid reacted at this time, and desperately kowtowed to Jiang Yao and said: "The slave and maid know that it is wrong, it is all done by the people of Xiang'an Palace and the slave maid, no matter what the slave and maid do, please ask the queen to disturb the slave and maid this time......"
Jiang Yao waved his hand at Liu Shangyi, "Find a place to lock it up, don't make a noise to the public." ”
Liu Shangyi immediately dragged people out, and the virtuous concubine in the palace pulled Jiang Yao and frowned, and said: "If it is really the queen mother of Xiang'an Palace, I am afraid that the queen mother will have to be wronged. ”
"Is it true that no one can move?"
"The Queen Mother and the Song family depend on each other, the Queen Mother can't move, and the Song family can't move if it's intertwined."
Concubine Xian sighed, now that she knows the clues, she can't track it down, Jiang Yao was worried for a while, after Concubine Xian left, Liu Shangyi said: "The slave maid remembers that the emperor once said that the emperor in this harem is the emperor fighting for the mother." ”
This sentence reminded Jiang Yao, Jiang Yao suddenly became enlightened, immediately got up from the chair, and said to Liu Shangyi: "Let's go, let's go to the Heart Cultivation Palace to see the emperor." ”
Liu Shangyi immediately took the cloak and put it on for Jiang Yao, Jiang Yao went to the Imperial Garden in an ice-blue shirt today, and when she passed by the Imperial Garden, she looked at the red plums with red faces.
Jiang Yao couldn't help but walk over there, and Liu Shangyi was also amazed: "I didn't expect this imperial garden to have a red plum garden, which is very good." ”
The small plum blossoms are blooming very delicately, and they are tightly packed, like pieces of fire clouds, hanging on the treetops.
Jiang Yao thought about Merlin and walked into the depths, at this time he heard a burst of strings that gradually became clear, and the touching strings, which were mixed with sorrow, Jiang Yao broke a few branches and played with them in his hands.
Liu Shangyi looked at Jiang Yao's rare joy, and these two flower branches were carefully inserted into Jiang Yao's bun.
"Niangniang's good-looking face, coupled with this red plum is very delicate, lining the mother's good looks."
Jiang Yao smiled, and when she raised her eyes, she saw the pavilion above, Song Qing, who was dressed in red, was playing, and she looked up and saw Jiang Yao, with a smile. Jiang Yao handed the plum blossom branch to Liu Shangyi and walked through the plum forest.
"I didn't expect that Concubine Ying also has such a good elegance and plays the piano here."
Jiang Yao walked up to the pavilion with her skirt, and Song Qing bent over at Jiang Yao with the strings in her hand early, "The queen praised it in seconds, the sun is very good today, and the plum blossoms in the plum forest are also extraordinarily prosperous, and the concubine just came to give the mother a good occasion." ”
