Chapter 220: The Scourge of Cats

Xu Shang knelt down and hung his head silently.

Liu Heng hesitated, but suddenly heard the concubine's voice say, "You must save the child." ”

Liu Heng cast a surprised look at her, only to see that the concubine's face was solemn, and she said slowly: "Bimei must also want to save her child's ......."

"The minister will go and inform the midwife." Xu Shang got up and walked quickly into the inner room.

Mrs. Jane, who was sitting on the side, was secretly happy in her heart, after this child stayed, it was very likely that she would be raised, and it would be best if it was a boy.

Therefore, she silently prayed in her heart that Bi Wan would give birth to a boy, and she was so excited that she was nervous.

A long time passed, and the cry of a baby came from the inner room, and a hint of joy finally appeared on everyone's faces. The concubine and Mrs. Jane stood up happily, anxious to go to the inner chamber to see if the child was male or female.

Xu Shang got information about the child from the midwife and walked out first.

"How's the kid?" The concubine couldn't wait to ask.

"Congratulations to the king, congratulations to the concubine, it's the boy......"

The concubine was overjoyed and anxious to see the child, but Xu Shang suggested not, because the child was born prematurely and had a weak physique, so in order to prevent the child from catching a cold, he needed to be taken care of.

The concubine nodded, holding back her joy, but seeing that Liu Heng didn't seem to be very happy, he walked into the inner room without saying a word, not to see the child, but to see Bi Wan.

A white sheet has covered Bi Wan's whole person, and Shu Ying is crying bitterly beside her. Liu Heng stretched out his hand to lift the sheets, but the maid of the first palace advised him not to look at it.

Because Bi Wan died in pain, her face still maintained an expression distorted by pain.

Liu Heng's hand stayed in mid-air for a moment, and finally took it back, looking up to the sky and sighing: "Chase Bi Meiren as his wife, bury her ...... well."

Bimei's birth of a child has come to an end, and next, it's time to hold the culprit accountable.

Because the concubine herself is not in good health, and now that she has stayed up late, Liu Heng asked her to go back to rest first, and she will handle the rest by herself.

The concubine nodded in agreement, and Mrs. Zhen came up at this time and said, "The concubine will send the concubine back!" ……”

The concubine did not object, and Mrs. Zhen was secretly happy in her heart. Pleasing the concubine now will increase your chances of getting a child.

Walking out of Yunlan Palace, Mama invited the concubine to sit in a sedan chair, and the concubine waved her hand, saying that she wanted to go and relax.

Mrs. Zhen followed and wanted to mention the matter of Bimei several times, but when she saw the maid Yun Jun on the side signaling to her and asking her not to take the initiative to speak, she endured it.

Yun Jun had already seen that the concubine was taking a walk because she wanted to talk to Mrs. Zhen. If Mrs. Zhen spoke first, it would inevitably be suspected of competing for the heir.

"It's a big night, it's cold again, why did you come all the way here?" The concubine asked.

This is the reason why Yun Jun does not want Lady Zhen to come over at night, because doing so will make the concubine think that her motives are not pure. Fortunately, on the way back to Yunjun, he had already told her how to answer if the concubine asked.

I saw Mrs. Zhen weeping on her chin and said in a mournful voice: "The concubine and Bimei are like brothers, after she had an accident there, the palace people came to tell the concubine, and the concubine was worried, so she rushed over." “

When something happens to one sister, it makes sense to send someone to inform the other person.

"Alas...... Well, you don't have to send it, you can go and rest too! ......" After speaking, the concubine sat in the sedan chair.

Mrs. Zhen was caught off guard, she thought that the concubine would discuss the matter of Bi Meiren with her, but she didn't expect to leave suddenly. She still wanted to follow and send her off again, but Yun Jun tugged at her sleeve, so she could only watch the sedan chair leave.

When the sedan chair was far away, Mrs. Zhen asked with some reproach, "Why don't you let me follow the concubine?" ”

Yun Jun said: "The concubine is really tired, and she doesn't want to mention the matter of Bimei anymore." If Madame wants to ask, it will only annoy her. ”

"But, the child's affairs are not yet decided?" Mrs. Zhen was very anxious, she was worried that after Mrs. Han learned about it tomorrow, Mrs. Han would fight with her for custody of the child.

"Madame's friendship with Bi Meiren, the concubine knows, even if Mrs. Han wants to fight for that child, what does she want to fight? Madame, you still have the upper hand. ”

Hearing her say this, Mrs. Jane was much more relieved.

"You say, I'm going to get the baby, right?"

Yun Jun hesitated, because she didn't dare to guarantee it.

Mrs. Zhen said angrily: "If I can't get that child, I will definitely not spare you!" ”

Yun Jun lowered his head and said, "The slave must do her best." ”

Mrs. Jane snorted coldly and walked towards her sedan chair.

Get up the sedan car and return to the palace.

……

All the palace people of Yunlan Palace were gathered in the main hall of Mingguang Pavilion, and everyone knelt on the ground in panic, and their eyes fell on the cage in front of them, and there was a black cat in the cage.

The black cat curled up in a ball, falling asleep as if nothing had happened, its ears twitching from time to time, and it was cute if it seemed to be ordinary.

"Whose cat is this?" Wanquan asked majestically.

Of course, no one dared to admit it, and no one knew where the cat came from except Yasuko.

There was silence in the hall, and after waiting for a moment, Wan Quan said again: "No one admits it, does it?" In that case, you should keep kneeling, and you should keep a vigil for Lady Bi......"

"Of course, whoever can provide clues will be exempt from punishment. If you catch the owner of the cat, you can also get a reward. ”

A palace maid raised a trembling hand to make her stand up and speak. She said, "The slave used to hear a cat barking. ”

Yasuko's heart hung in the air.

"Where did you hear the sound?"

"This ...... The slave doesn't know...... But it felt so close, and the slave and maid were on duty in the temple at that time. ”

"When is it?"

"When it's ugly."

"If you heard a cat meowing, why did you go find it!"

The palace maid thought that she would not have to be punished, but she didn't expect that the crime would be increased by one degree, so she immediately knelt down and kowtowed. "The slave thinks she heard it wrong......

"Did you hear it wrong? This reason is not good, come on, take her down! ”

"Father-in-law spares his life...... The slave knows that she is wrong, and her father-in-law spares her life......"

It's dawn.

The sun shone into the main hall, and the people in the hall were still kneeling.

They looked tired, but they did not dare to tilt the skew, for a man had already been taken out and punished for leaning his body for drowsiness.

Wan Quan sat on the chair on the side of the top and was leisurely eating breakfast.

When he had finished eating, he wiped his mouth, threw his handkerchief into his plate, and then got up and walked to the crowd with his hands behind his back.

He said earnestly: "It's not that our family wants to embarrass you, the king wants our family to find out about this matter, if you can give some useful clues, our family doesn't have to stay here." It's been two hours, and the day is still long......"

Suddenly, a maid of the palace stood up crookedly, and she was fully recognized.

She is Bi Wan's personal palace maid Shuying, even if she is a personal palace maid, failing to protect her master is a dereliction of duty, so she will also be punished.

"What do you want to say?" Wanquan asked.

Shuying nodded, and said weakly: "It's probably inappropriate for my father-in-law to do this......

Wanquan smiled, "How is it wrong?" ”

"Perhaps, this is a cat that is not from our Yunlan Palace, or maybe it came from somewhere else? My father-in-law just investigated our Yunlan Palace, it's not fair! ……”

"Are you going to teach our family how to do things again?" Wan Quan asked with a sneer.

Everyone felt that Qingyun had run into trouble, and he was going to be unlucky.

Shuying was not afraid, and continued: "The slave doesn't dare, the slave and the maid just talk about the matter. ”

"It's a good one, come here, take her out, our family has to discuss with her."

The two guards walked up to Shuying, and when they were about to take her out, the voice of "Mrs. Han has arrived" came from outside.

Not long after the words fell, Mrs. Han appeared in front of the main hall, and Wan Quan and a group of guards immediately went up to greet her and knelt down to see her.

Mrs. Han turned a blind eye to him, looked at the kneeling people in the main hall, and asked in a playful tone, "Yo, what's going on?" ”

"If you go back to your mother, our family is ordered to investigate who raised that cat......"

"Why?"

"Because it killed Lady Bi."

"I'll give you some clues, this is the cat in the Imperial Dining Room."

"How does the mother know?"

"My maidservant Qingyun has seen it."

When the people of the palace who were punished heard this, they were secretly happy in their hearts, glad that they were saved this time, and at the same time they were grateful to Mrs. Han.

"Wangong people, the clues are all given to you, why are you still here?" Mrs. Han said coldly.

Wan Quan kowtowed, "Let's take someone to the imperial dining room to investigate." After saying that, he ordered someone to take the cage containing the cat and left the main hall. Maybe the cat was woken up and barked a few times.

The palace people in the main hall all knelt and turned to face Mrs. Han, and thanked them together, "Mrs. Xie." ”

"Get up, what should you do, what should you do?"

Everyone said yes, then stood up with each other's arms, and left the hall one after another.

Only the nameless palace people are standing in the hall, they are all palace people of Mingguang Pavilion, and now that the master is gone, they don't know where to go.

Mrs. Han walked to Shuying's side and looked up and down, she had seen Shuying's courage just now, and now she wanted to accept her to her palace.

As a big palace maid, Shuying must have a group of obedient people under her command, and subduing Shuying is equivalent to subduing them. In this way, her power in the palace will also be strengthened.

"When Mrs. Bi's funeral is done, you can come with me! ……”

For the palace maids, it is much better to be able to follow the master than to go to other places to do chores, at least others dare not bully you.

So Shuying bowed to Mrs. Xie Han, because she had injured her knee by kneeling for too long before, and it would be difficult to think about it again if she knelt down this time. Mrs. Han personally helped her up, which touched her very much.

Mrs. Han knew that she had received the hearts of the people of Yunlan Palace, so she left for Fengyi Palace.

When I came to the gate of Fengyi Palace, I happened to meet Mrs. Zhen.

She greeted her and said, "Sister, what a coincidence, you are also here to greet the concubine?" ”

"Yes, that's a coincidence."

"Then let's go in together! ……”

Lady Jane's jaw.

The two walked up the steps and came to the palace gate. The palace people guarding the door told them that the concubine had not woken up yet, and asked them to go back first.
