Chapter 173: Plan before you act
Fenghua rubbed her sleepy eyes, opened the door, and went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.
After lighting the fire, she smelled a foul burnt smell, could it be that something was burned? She pulled out the wood and looked at it, only to see a black mass sticking to the firewood, slowly burning.
"Liuyun, this girl, how can you throw the silk weaving thing into the fire......"
Fenghua grumbled and extinguished the fire, tossed the thin wood aside, and rekindled the fire.
After a while, breakfast was ready, and at this time, Liuyun should come over to help, and only go back to rest after breakfast.
But she couldn't wait for Liuyun, so she felt very angry, and walked out of the kitchen quickly, shouting Liuyun's name as she walked.
She came to Liuyun's room first, pushed the door in, and no one entered, thinking that Liuyun might be helping Mrs. Cen to groom her anger, and set off for Mrs. Cen to go to Mrs. Cen.
But when I walked to the bedroom door, I suddenly heard a miserable scream from Liuyun, which was even more infiltrating than seeing a ghost.
Hearing the sound, Fenghua ran over and hit the flowing clouds that stumbled out.
The two fell to the ground together, Fenghua narrowed his eyes in pain, rubbed his head and complained, "What's so panicked?" ”
I only heard Liuyun say incoherently: "Master...... Master......"
She opened her eyes and saw Liuyun with tears streaming down her face and a very painful expression, Fenghua felt a pang in her heart and asked uneasily, "What's wrong?" ”
"Master, she ......" Liuyun wanted to say it, but there was always a breath in his throat that turned into choking.
Fenghua stood up and walked into the house, and after a while her screams were heard in the room, followed by crying......
Chunyan Pavilion.
Dou Yifang was eating, and Ju Chang walked in in a hurry, and even the palace people of Chunyan Pavilion didn't even have time to report.
"What makes my sister so anxious?"
"Sister, don't eat breakfast, something happened......"
"What's going on?"
"Mrs. Cen committed suicide by hanging the beam......"
Dou Yifang was stunned, and the steamed bun in his hand fell on the table.
Ju Changhuan knew that she wanted to go and see, so he took her hand and walked out quickly.
When they came to the Immortal Palace, the Immortal Palace was already under martial law, and the guards stopped them.
"Two masters, you can't go in." The guard in charge of the gate said.
"Do you know who I am? You dare to stop me? Ju Changhuan said domineeringly.
The guard was also strong, "I am ordered to be on duty, and I hope that Ju Meiren will forgive me if I offend." ”
Ju Changhuan didn't give up, "Forgive me? If you dare to stop me today, tomorrow I will let the king pull you up! ”
As soon as these words came out, the guard was also timid, "Then let the lowly post go in and spread it." So saying, he walked in.
After a while, Wan Quan walked out, "I've seen two masters." ”
Ju Changhuan asked coldly, "Can we go in?" ”
Wan Quan said respectfully, "Please." ”
When the two entered the hall, they saw that Liuyun and Fenghua were already crying. Wan Quan led them into Mrs. Cen's bedroom, and saw Liu Heng and Queen Chen standing by the bed.
On the bed, there was the body of Mrs. Cen, who had long been stiffened.
Dou Yifang noticed the bulge in Mrs. Cen's abdomen, and felt as if she had been stabbed.
She really couldn't figure out why Mrs. Cen, who regarded the child in her womb as her life, committed suicide.
"The concubine has seen the king and the queen."
Ju Changhuan bowed, and she found that Dou Yifang beside her was stunned, so she touched her arm to remind her.
Dou Yifang came back to his senses and saluted.
"Dou Yifang, why do you dare to come?" Queen Chen asked.
Dou Yifang raised her head and found that Liu Heng's cold gaze was looking at her, and she was not to be outdone and met Liu Heng's gaze, ignoring Queen Chen's words.
From Liu Heng's eyes, Dou Yifang seemed to see that Mrs. Cen's death was inseparable from her, and it could even be interpreted that she killed Mrs. Cen.
"What does the queen mean by that?" Ju Changhuan wants to stand up for Dou Yifang.
Liu Heng's patience had reached its limit, and he threw the bamboo slip in his hand at the foot of Dou Yifang, "See for yourself!" ”
Dou Yifang picked it up and looked at it, and Ju Changhuan also came over.
This is a suicide note.
The content is that Mrs. Cen had a long conversation with Dou Yifang yesterday, and Mrs. Cen wrote in her suicide note that she regretted it very much and hoped to get Dou Yifang's forgiveness.
But Dou Yifang's ruthless refusal made her disheartened, so she decided to commit suicide to apologize. Because the bamboo slip is not long, it is not written in it what Dou Yifang said to stimulate Mrs. Cen.
After reading this bamboo slip, Dou Yifang understood that someone was going to blame her, and Mrs. Cen's people might not have committed suicide.
But Liu Heng didn't think so, "What did you tell her?" ”
When he asked this, Dou Yifang suddenly felt cold, "What I said, will you still believe it, the king?" ”
Liu Heng was fed up with Dou Yifang's attitude, so he ordered Dou Yifang to be taken away, temporarily grounded in Chunyan Pavilion, and dealt with after dealing with Mrs. Cen's funeral.
This time he decided that he would never show mercy again.
Ju Changhuan stood up to intercede for Dou Yifang, but was met with Liu Heng's cold eyes.
"You'd better walk less with her!"
A smug smile flashed on Queen Chen's face, this time not only solved Mrs. Cen and Dou Yifang, but also suppressed Ju Changhuan's arrogance by the way, which can be described as killing three birds with one stone.
Dou Yifang was grounded, and Liu Heng did not allow anyone to visit,
This prohibition is actually a warning to Ju Changhuan, because he also knows that Ju Changhuan often walks with Dou Yifang.
Now, Liu Heng began to feel that Dou Yifang was an ominous person, Liu Yi died because of her, and now it is Mrs. Cen again.
It's time to think about whether Dou Yifang is still necessary to stay in the palace.
Ju Changhuan ignored Liu Heng's warning, and after finding out that Liu Heng had decided to be alone in Guangyuan Hall tonight, he took Lan Yu to Youlan Palace disguised as a palace maid.
The night was silent, and Dou Yifang stood on the balcony and looked out against the railing.
The direction as far as the eye can see is Chang'an.
She had a hunch that her time in Daigong would not be too long, which meant that she had no chance to avenge her mother and brother.
She was very unwilling, but she couldn't do anything about it. Liu Heng's distrust of her again and again made her feel cold and exhausted.
She was tired, really tired. Now she just wants a horse that travels thousands of miles a day and escapes from here.
"I'm sorry, mother, Jin'er......"
The smiling faces of Xue Mei and Liu Jin seemed to appear in the inky night sky, seeing that they were having so much fun there, Dou Yifang also seemed to go to their side.
Perhaps it was because Liu Heng was very confident in his orders, so there was no guard outside the Youlan Palace, and Ju Changhuan walked in very easily.
"Who are you?" The palace man guarding the door in the Chunyan Pavilion asked.
Ju Changhuan smiled, "What do you say?" ”
The palace people immediately recognized her and quickly ran to report to Dou Yifang.
Hearing that Ju Changhuan was coming, Dou Yifang was not surprised at all.
"How did you get in?"
"There are no guards out there."
"You're still coming to me, aren't you afraid of being known by the king?"
"What can the king do if he knows, at most he will say two words to me."
Dou Yifang knew that Ju Changhuan was favored, but if she was so pampered and arrogant, she would be disgusted by Liu Heng one day.
She just wanted to persuade Ju Changhuan to restrain her behavior, but Ju Changhuan took her hand and walked out.
"Where are you taking me?" Dou Yifang asked hurriedly.
"Needless to say, of course it's to investigate the cause of Mrs. Cen's death!"
Ju Changhuan believed that Mrs. Cen would never be killed by Dou Yifang.
Because Dou Yifang once said to her, she has to be forgiving and forgiving.
Therefore, Dou Yifang must have stopped worrying about the affairs of the year with Mrs. Cen for a long time.
"But ......" Dou Yifang hesitated, she didn't want to hurt Ju Changhuan and was also punished by Liu Heng.
"It's nothing, do you really believe that Madame Cen will kill herself? Can you really tolerate other people's misunderstandings about you? ”
Dou Yifang was stunned for a moment, and then smiled.
"Thank you, Sister Changhuan. I know what to do, but I can't just leave Chunyan Pavilion. ”
Ju Chang was angry with her, and later learned that Dou Yifang was not retreating, but wanted to think like her first, disguised as a palace maid.
In this way, it is convenient to move outside.
Pretending to be a palace maid, Dou Yifang can be said to be handy in doing it......
For the sake of convenience, Dou Yifang and Ju Changhuan left Chunyan Pavilion without bringing their maids.
The huge palace is a little quiet at night, and even the palace maids rarely walk around outside at this time.
If you encounter a palace person patrolling, you will inevitably be called out for questioning. Therefore, Dou Yifang and Ju Changhuan avoided places where there were people as much as possible.
But they were still discovered, "You two stop!" ”
Ju Changhuan glanced at Dou Yifang, and asked her what to do. I saw that Dou Yifang was not in a hurry, quietly waiting for the patrolling palace people to approach.
Both of them lowered their heads, and the palace people dangled in front of them with lanterns, and asked, "Where are you palace maids?" ”
"If you go back to the palace, we are the palace maids of the Siyi Pavilion. It's just that I was punished by my aunt today, and I washed a lot of clothes, and I have only finished my work so far, so I came back late......"
Dou Yifang said.
The people of the palace thought for a while, they had encountered such a situation before, so they let them go and continued to patrol with people.
When they walked away, Ju Changhuan said excitedly: "Sister, there is really you, this kung fu in the face of danger, my sister has to learn more from you." ”
Dou Yifang glanced at her, "Don't be poor, let's go!" They should be suspicious in a moment, and then get it back......"
The two turned around and finally came to Yongan Lane.
After passing through a passage, you can reach the destination Immortal Palace, but at this time, you have encountered a situation again.
At this time, they encountered a bigger trouble than the people patrolling the palace--everything.
How did he end up here? This is the common voice of Dou Yifang and Ju Changhuan.
Because there was only one road in front of them, they had nowhere to hide.
Ju Changhuan panicked again at this time, and when he asked Dou Yifang for help, he saw Dou Yifang take the initiative to greet him. Ju Changhuan thought to himself: Sister, this is crazy......
If they find out, they're done.
Facing the palace maid who came over, the guards around Wan Quan were vigilant, but Wan Quan had already recognized the person who came as Dou Yifang.
