Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Forbidden Books
That night, Dou Yifang and Han Lian were talking, Han Lian suddenly thought of something, got up and looked around under the window, and saw that no one said, "Yi Fang, have you heard?" At the end of this year, the Queen Mother will select some palace people in the palace to send them to various countries. ”
Dou Yifang lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling in a daze, and came back to his senses for a while, "Just choose, what does it have to do with me, I just want to serve the seventh son." ”
She stared at the lattice window and couldn't help but feel half desolate in her heart, and said for a long time, "I also heard Xiangjun say that day, saying that it would be dozens." ”
Dou Yifang thought to herself, even if she chooses them, she can't choose them, Dou Yifang has been in the palace for more than two years, and she is already seventeen, but it is very likely that Hongxiang and these girls are still very likely.
Han Lian smiled stupidly, "They said that when they go to the princes, they may still be accepted as concubines by the princes." ”
Although she wants to be sent over as a member of the family, if she is really chosen, what will Wang Liuyue do, it is impossible to bring the emperor's concubines over!!
Dou Yifang joked with a smile, "Dead girl, are you in a hurry to get married this time?" ”
Hanlian's face turned red all of a sudden, and she touched it unconsciously, and it was still hot, and she secretly laughed at herself and thought about it.
Under the bright moonlight, Dou Yifang looked at her and felt even more cute, "Silly girl, what's this?" Otherwise, you go, and I will take care of the seven sons for you. ”
Han Lian's face turned even redder, and she was about to hit Dou Yifang when she got up, but as soon as Dou Yifang lifted the quilt, she began to flee, only to hear Han Lian scold, "Little hoof, even you arranged me, who said I wanted to go?" ”
also looked at Dou Yifang and couldn't see her ghost thoughts, Dou Yifang smiled, a pair of apricot eyes were round, extremely cute and moving, "It's not that I arranged you, you said you didn't have this mind, you swear first." ”
Han Lian's face was flushed, and she was about to swear if she couldn't hold it back, but Dou Yifang covered her mouth, "Come on, girl, if we are really picked, we must not forget the kindness of the seventh son." ”
Han Lian nodded again and again, "Even if you have a little conscience, I heard that His Majesty went to the Du Palace yesterday and made the Xia family sick." ”
Listening to Han Lian talk about this, Dou Yifang remembered something and said, "You didn't mention the Xia family, I forgot, Xia Wujuan came to Changmingxuan for tea today, you were not there at that time, Xia Shun often talked a few words with our seven sons, and the seventh son wanted me to go to the inner room to take out the pair of jade glass earrings and give them to Xia Shunchang, I saw a vegetarian box next to it, it was very eye-catching, so I took it out and showed it to the seventh son, and the seventh son said that he didn't know." ”
"Is there such a thing?" Han Lian listened very attentively.
Yi Fangji said, "That's the matter, the seventh son really said that I don't know, I wondered at that time, the things in our palace are neither the seventh son's, nor other people's, is it still the people outside?" Strange to say, I just thought about it, and didn't say anything, and then Xia Shunchang spoke. ”
"What did Xia Shun often say?" Han Lian asked.
Seeing that Yifang smiled and didn't speak, she was even more anxious, and pushed Yifang, "Yifang, say it quickly, the people who listen are so anxious." ”
"Xia Shun often said that she had seen this thing." Speaking of this, Dou Yifang's face could no longer find the entourage from the frolicking just now, but instead spoke with a straight face, "Xia said that I had seen it at Du Shi again." ”
Han Lian wondered in her heart, could it be that Du Shi sent it? The seventh son took it and forgot it?
"Du Wujuan came to our Changmingxuan before, and he was so polite to our seven sons," Han Lian was still full of thought that it was Du Zirou's kindness, but when she heard Dou Yifang's next words, she was stunned.
Dou Yifang no longer felt a trace of ridicule on her face, "In vain for our seventh son to treat her like this, she actually treated our seventh son like this." Dou Yifang quietly leaned into Han Lian's ear and said in a voice that only Han Lian could hear, "I simply took it aside and opened it, do you know what is inside?" ”
Han Lian asked what it was, Dou Yifang said it was a book, she whispered the title of the book, Han Lian's face was flushed, and she quickly asked, "That book is Du's?" ”
Dou Yifang shook his head, nodded again, and then said, "Nine times out of ten." ”
She hesitated for a long time, but she still gave Han Lian about finding Furong's silk in the vegetarian box, and sure enough, as she expected, Han Lian jumped up and hurriedly excused Furong, "It can't be Furong!" ”
Dou Yifang didn't believe it, but when she saw Furong's objects, she was really stunned, and when Wang Liuyue asked, she just hid the silk in a hurry, and didn't dare to tell Wang Liuyue.
Just when Wang Liuyue didn't know what to do, Xia stood up and covered the plain box and accepted it, and said to Wang Liuyue, "It's not difficult, I'll just say that I've seen it with her, and just give it back to her, and it can be regarded as a vigilance for her." ”
Wang Liuyue felt that it was inappropriate, so she took it and said, "You send it like this, what if she doesn't recognize it?" Instead, you invited others to come over and say it was yours. ”
Xia Shi also felt very reasonable when he heard it, and in the end, the idea of the two of them was to send the things back quietly, just to see what kind of medicine was sold in Du's gourd, and how Du Shi would attack this matter.
The Xia family praised Wang Liuyue's intelligence, "My sister is really amazing, my sister really wants to see Xia's lost face." ”
Dou Yifang was also relieved to listen to it, and if he quietly put it back, he would not let Du Shi find that something was missing inside.
She was still holding Fleur's silk tightly, and Han Lian was already stunned. Frightened, Dou Yifang hurriedly pushed her, "Good sister, don't scare me, I can only talk to you in this palace, if you don't have an idea, I don't know what to do." ”
Han Lian came back to her senses at this time, and took Dou Yifang's hand as if pleading, looking two points excited, "Yifang, don't give the silk to the seventh son, I believe this is definitely not Furong's doing." ”
Dou Yifang also believed it, she nodded solemnly and agreed, Han Lian breathed a sigh of relief, Dou Yifang comforted her, "Furong won't be so stupid, she is born to frame other people's things and leave her own things, so no one will believe it, but only Du Shi can do this kind of thing." ”
Dou Yifang's heart was full of Na Du, "I have long seen that she is not a good person." ”
Because she was not at ease after all, this day Hanlian served Wang Liuyue, so she made room for Dou Yifang to go to Guanghanyuan, this day Furong's body was already well, sitting in the courtyard and swinging the fan, even if she didn't need the fan anymore this day, she was reluctant to throw away the fan that Liu Ying personally gave her.
Seeing Dou Yifang, she was a little surprised and was about to be happy, but in her heart, she unconsciously remembered Du Shi's words that day, and before she could speak, her heart was a lot colder, and her voice was half cold, "What's the matter?" ”
Suddenly, Dou Yifang was a little surprised, but he still bowed timidly, and Furong didn't say that he wanted her to get up, Dou Yifang only thought that the pain of Furong's loss of a son was still in his heart, and he didn't have time to let go, so he didn't care, and he didn't care.
When no one was around, she quietly took out the handkerchief and asked Fleur, "Is this your thing?" Fleur was puzzled when she saw it, so she took it casually, still saying lightly, "I happened to lose it a few days ago, you picked it up and returned it to me!" ”
Dou Yifang looked at the person lightly, and he didn't look weak, although he was not very relieved, but he remembered that Wang Liuyue on the side of Hanlian asked if he didn't know how to answer, it would be bad, so he went back in a hurry.
After going back, Han Lian finally pulled out and asked Dou Yifang about it, Dou Yifang said that Furong's appearance didn't look a little weak, so she was relieved and relieved, "I said that Furong is not this kind of person." ”
It was not long after this incident happened, that day Du Zirou went to ask the Empress Dowager Lu for peace, and said confidently on the side, "The Empress Dowager, the concubines heard that there are people in this palace who read those inconsistencies and books, and they don't know whether they are true or false. ”
Empress Dowager Lu closed her eyes and listened, in the past, there was a Zhuang family who liked to stir up right and wrong, but now there is another Du Zirou, she has a headache, a little fierce, "The mourning family has never liked people who only tell right and wrong." ”
This Du thought that he had put things in Wang Liuyue's place, and his heart was even more unscrupulous, so he simply followed the Empress Dowager Lu to be coquettish, "The concubine didn't play with right and wrong, the concubine saw it in Wang Qi's womb that day, and the concubine asked Wang Qizi what it was, Wang Qizi didn't tell the concubine, and the concubine didn't know anything, and then asked Qing Rong next to her, and Qing Rong said that the concubine was guilty." ”
Qing Rong on the side also came up and said that this was indeed the case, and Empress Dowager Lu opened her eyes and looked at the Du family for a long time, "Seventh son Wang? ”
Du Shi's undoubted appearance made Empress Dowager Lu believe it.
Coupled with a few words of instigation, Empress Dowager Lu couldn't sit still, and with the mentality that she would rather kill a hundred by mistake than let go of one.
In the palace, Du Shi knelt beside the Empress Dowager Lu and beat his legs wholeheartedly, waiting for the man to come back and restore his life, thinking that everything would go as smoothly as he thought, but the man came back shocked her.
Father-in-law Zhou stood decently, "Back to the Queen Mother, the old slave has already sent someone to check, and Wang Qizi doesn't have such a book." ”
When Empress Dowager Lu heard this, she didn't say anything, but Du's face was much more ugly than just now.
Before Du's face could become even more ugly, Gonggong Zhou continued, "But,...... But the old slave found it from Du Wujuan. ”
Du's face fell, and he just wanted to question if there was something wrong with his ears, he didn't find it from Wang Liuyue, but he found it with her?
At this time, someone had already taken out the plain box, and Du Shi was like a demon at this time, kneeling in front of the Empress Dowager Lu and pointing to the plain box and saying, "Queen Mother, this is the box, the concubine has seen it at Wang Qizi!" ”
Empress Dowager Lu looked at Du Shi who was kneeling on the ground with a cold face, with a long face, "You didn't hear it, it was searched from you?" ”
Du Shi was dumbfounded, and said again from the mouth of Empress Dowager Lu, she really listened to it.
"Impossible!"
Her eyes widened, in addition to horror and surprise, she clearly let people into Changming Xuan, and the person also came back and said that she had completed the task, and she also promised the palace man, and when she finished doing this, she would reward her with a jade bracelet and allow her to take it out and sell it to her family.
Qing Rong was frightened by Du Zirou's glare, and knelt on the ground tremblingly, as if to say, "The slave maid ordered the lowly people according to your orders, and saw the lowly people enter Changmingxuan with their own eyes." ”
Du Zirou couldn't figure out how the box had returned to her palace, but now the fact is that she, as the owner of this book, knelt at the knees of Empress Dowager Lu at the mercy of others.
She was extremely scared and waited for Empress Dowager Lu to develop her. Empress Dowager Lu was tired, so she handed over this matter to Mingyu and Li Huiniang to deal with, and both sides insisted on their own words, Mingyu wanted to be severely punished, and Li Huiniang wanted to give a little precept.
The two of them quarreled in Huadu Garden, one said that this matter was not trivial, and the other said that the Queen Mother's birthday was on the eve and should not be punished too severely.
