Chapter 296: Chunmei confesses
Wei Pujia couldn't help but wonder, could it be that she had discovered something?
After leaving the Qingxin Pavilion, Lan Yi returned to the Yalan Palace. Wei Pujia also returned to Yingyue Pavilion with a nervous mood.
The palace maids of Yingyue Pavilion came back one after another, they talked and laughed, until they entered the hall and saw Wei Pujia sitting with a straight face, the palace maids immediately closed their mouths and fell silent.
The palace maids went up to see Wei Pujia one by one, and Wei Pujia looked at them and found that Chunmei was missing, so she asked where Chunmei went.
"I don't know......," said one of the maids, "she wasn't with us." β
"And where did she go?"
The palace maids, you look at me, I look at you, and you haven't paid attention to Chunmei's whereabouts.
At this moment, Chunmei walked in.
"She's back!" Someone reminded.
Chunmei looked at this solemn atmosphere, her heart was faintly uneasy, and when she saw Wei Pujia's cold eyes, her body couldn't help but be stunned.
"Stand down! ......," Wei Pujia commanded.
The palace maids answered and retreated.
"Where have you been?" Wei Pujia asked.
Chunmei was a little confused, she just went to Qingfeng Pavilion, why did Bazi ask knowingly?
"I said, why did it take you so long to come back?"
"If you go back to the eighth son, the slave maid will stay and help pack the clothes......"
It turned out that after the identification, the palace maids returned to Qingxin Pavilion to change their clothes, and the clothes they changed were a little messy, so Chunmei was left behind and sorted out with some palace maids, so she came back late.
However, Wei Pujia remembered that Lan Yi had left and turned back to Qingxin Pavilion, and she was smiling when she left, which couldn't help but make her wonder if Lan Yi had met Chunmei.
"Has the blue dress beside the queen met you?"
"Blue? Nope!! β
"Less garlic in front of me!" Wei Pujia patted the table and stood up, "Did you betray me?" β
Chunmei knelt down in shock, "Bazi, the slave is loyal to you, how dare you betray you......"
Wei Pujia thought of Dou Yifang's mysterious smile when he left, and the whisper to Lan Yi, which was obviously a trap.
From this, she concluded that Chunmei must have betrayed her. Wei Pujia was annoyed and ashamed, went up and grabbed Chunmei's hair with one hand, and raised the other hand and gave Chunmei a slap.
The slap hit the injured side in the face, and the wound bled again. Chunmei was in pain and aggrieved, and cried loudly, crying very desolately. When the palace maids outside the hall heard this, they couldn't help but feel afraid.
At this moment, there was a voice outside, "The queen has arrivedβ"
The palace maids panicked and immediately went in to inform Wei Pujia.
Wei Pujia was stunned for a moment, thinking that this must be Dou Yifang's question. So she ordered the palace maid to take Chunmei down and hide it.
But none of the palace maids moved, and Wei Pujia said angrily: "What, my words are not good?" β
The palace ladies still didn't move.
"Wow, you've all betrayed me, haven't you?" She pointed at the crowd and scolded, "Have you forgotten what I do to you on a daily basis? β
"What do you do with them?"
Wei Pujia was stunned again, and following the sound, Dou Yifang stepped into the hall.
The palace maids took the initiative to get out of the way, Dou Yifang walked to the center of the hall, and the accompanying palace people immediately moved chairs and asked her to sit down.
"The most faithful to you will be beaten so badly by you, what are they?" Dou Yi atrial road.
Wei Pujia was stunned again, looked at Chunmei who was sobbing in a low voice, and then glanced at the other palace maids. At that moment, she understood, it turned out that Lan Yi returned to Qingxin Pavilion not to see Chunmei, but to meet other palace maids.
"Chunmei, is it the snack you went to send to Ju Chang's envoy, right?" Dou Yifang asked.
Chunmei was silent.
Dou Yifang sighed, "She treats you like this, do you still plan to hide it for her?" Yi Cui and the little stool recognized you, you are Wei Pujia's slave, did she instruct you to do this? β
Wei Pujia looked at Chunmei, and this time it was her turn to pray to Chunmei. As long as Chunmei doesn't admit it, then there is no evidence for Dou Yifang.
But Chunmei was already chilled by Wei Pujia, she nodded, said everything she did, she was obedient to orders, and asked Dou Yifang to forgive her sins.
Wei Pujia seemed to have her soul out of her body, and her body sat on the ground softly.
"Why are you doing that?" Dou Yifang asked.
Wei Pujia returned to her soul and immediately kowtowed and begged for mercy.
"Hongu asks you why you did this!" Dou Yifang said sharply.
"The concubine and Ju Changge have already had a holiday, and the concubine just wanted to give her a little color, but she didn't expect it to be like this...... The queen's mother, the concubine knows that she is wrong, and asks the queen mother to forgive her sins......"
"Humph! Forgiveness? Why does this palace want to forgive your sins? β
Wei Pujia panicked and was afraid, she cried and crawled to Dou Yi's feet, holding her feet and begging bitterly.
Gonggong Shi glanced at the palace people, and the two palace people immediately went up to pull Wei Pujia away.
"Father-in-law Shi, send her to Yong'an Lane and hand her over to Yong'an Lane for trial."
"Yes."
Gonggong Shi gave an order, and the palace people dragged and lifted Wei Pujia, who couldn't stop crying, to take away.
Chunmei was worried that her fate would be the same as Wei Pujia, but she didn't cry, but she was trembling with fright, and her forehead kept touching the ground.
"Although you are acting on orders, you should know that it is against the rules of the palace to do this. Don't use your helplessness as an excuse, when Wei Pujia forces you to do this, you should come to the palace, instead of aiding and abusing. β
"So you can't escape the blame, and you will also be sent to Yong'an Lane, and you will be convicted and punished after the trial."
"Thank you for your kindness."
Two palace people came over and wanted to take Chunmei away.
Dou Yifang saw that her face was bleeding again, so she asked the palace people to take her to heal first, and then send her to Yong'an Lane. Chunmei was grateful, knelt down and kowtowed before leaving with the palace people.
Dou Yifang gathered the palace people of Yingyue Pavilion into the hall, told them some rules, let them take warning, and then said that they would arrange their place. This means that it is impossible for Wei Pujia to return to Yingyue Pavilion.
Wei Pujia instructed the maid to poison Ju Changge's case to be successfully resolved. The news reached Ju Changge, but Ju Changge did not feel any gratitude.
"Envoy, the slave maid thinks that the queen is sincere to you, why should you be angry with the queen?" Yi Cui persuaded.
"If it weren't for her, my sister wouldn't have died!" Ju Changge said hatefully, "Do you think she is for me? Joke, she's just for her own fame! β
"But, after all, she is the queen's mother, and if she is against her, she is afraid of ......"
"Afraid? If I had been afraid of her, I wouldn't have entered the palace! β
persuaded Ju Changge, Yi Cui was very helpless.
"Will you tell her about me?"
"Of course not, the slave is loyal to the envoy!"
Ju Changge smiled faintly, in fact, even if Yi Cui went to tell Dou Yifang, she didn't care.
"Eight sons, Lady Jane is here."
"Please!"
β¦β¦
When Mrs. Zhen arrived, she was worried that Dou Yifang would be grateful to Ju Changge after finding out the case of drugging Ju Changge, so she wanted to test it.
But seeing that Ju Changge was always with her, she knew that Ju Changge's mind had not changed.
However, she will tell Ju Changge about her hatred for Dou Yifang now, because she is worried that Ju Changge will change her mind one day.
Dou Yifang will not let his relationship with Ju Changge deteriorate forever.
"Sister......
Ju Changge saw that Mrs. Zhen was in a daze, so he called out. Mrs. Jane suddenly came back to her senses and immediately picked up the teacup in her hand to drink water.
"Sister, after Dou Yifang cleaned up Wei Pujia, his prestige has increased greatly, shouldn't we do something?" Ju Changge was worried that if it went on like this, Dou Yifang would deal with them sooner or later.
Mrs. Zhen nodded in agreement, "I already have a way, but I just want to wronged my sister." β
"As long as I can help my sister avenge, let alone be wronged, even if it costs my life, I will not hesitate to do so."
"Sister, rest assured, not only will I not ask for my sister's name in this plan, but it will also ruin Dou Yifang's reputation!"
Mrs. Jane swore by it, and seemed to have it in her mind.
Ju Changge was overjoyed, and hurriedly asked her about the plan, and Mrs. Zhen said to her......
In the afternoon, the birds are singing pleasantly, but the wind has begun to get cold. I'm afraid that in a few days, this birdsong will not be heard. Dou Yifang looked at the branches, looking for the traces of the chirping birds, but in vain, the king arrived.
Liu Heng had already allowed Dou Yifang to exempt him, but Dou Yifang still saluted as usual, and she had to set an example for the master of the harem behind her.
The two of them sat down in the tea room, one side of the tea room was facing the garden, which was similar to the Chunyan Pavilion. The fragrance of the tea is pleasant. Liu Heng took a sip of tea and breathed a long sigh of relief comfortably, only saying that every time he came here, he would be relaxed and comfortable.
Dou Yifang smiled and said, "Then the king should come often." β
Liu Heng smiled faintly and did not answer this, but praised her Dou Yifang for handling Wei Pujia's matter quickly and neatly, and asked her what reward she wanted.
Dou Yifang said apologetically: "The concubine punished the inner wife without asking the king, and the king did not blame it, it was already a reward for the concubine......"
"You have done a good job in this matter, and the affairs of the harem will be handled by you with full authority, without asking."
"King Xie trusts his concubines."
After drinking a cup of tea, Liu Heng remembered that he hadn't listened to Dou Yifang's fuqin for a long time, so he asked Dou Yifang to play the piano. Dou Yifang was also interested, so he ordered someone to set the piano and burn incense and play.
A graceful and beautiful music rises slowly, like the breeze, which is refreshing.
However, Liu Heng, who used to listen to the piano with full attention, fell asleep after listening to it for a while. Dou Yifang wasn't angry, just curious. When I saw Liu Heng just now, I saw that his eyes were heavy and his expression was tired, so it was natural for him to fall asleep.
It is not a bad thing to let Liu Heng sleep beautifully. But Liu Heng, who has always been energetic, will have such fatigue, which makes Dou Yifang worry that his body will collapse.
Dou Yifang called Wanquan and asked Liu Heng if he was like this during this time?
Wan Quan nodded and said, "Today, the king is still napping in the court......
"Is the government busy? The king is not good at night? β
"It's not ......" Wan Quanquan was suspicious, not knowing whether to say it or not.
"What the hell is going on?"
Since Dou Yifang asked, he could only say truthfully, "The king has been going to Chunyan Pavilion every night recently, according to the palace people who are sleeping in the palace, the king and Zhang Liangren (Zhang Hanyan has been promoted to a good person because he is favored) have a long-lasting relationship, and they ......will rest until late at night."
