Chapter 347 After returning to the palace
Lin Qingyuan's eyes have been lingering behind He Suoyi, but He Suoyi only knows nothing about it. She just came out of Xuanwu Zhuang and walked in the direction of the palace without hesitation.
Fang just chatted with Lin Qingyuan with some input, but I was afraid that it was not too early. He Suoyi was afraid that Jinyu and the others would be in a hurry in the palace. As a result, the pace on the feet increased a few more points.
There was a hurried walk here, but after a while, He Suoyi returned to the palace, but when she went back, she was a little stunned.
I saw that the person waiting at the gate of the palace was not Jinyu or Zijin, but another person who surprised He Suoyi, but did not expect it.
"Your Highness, why are you standing here?" Looking at the person who was standing at the gate of the palace, waiting quietly, He Suoyi hurriedly stepped forward in three steps and two steps, first saluted, and then asked in a low voice.
It turned out that the person who was waiting quietly at the gate of the palace was Shen Huo. Shen Huo was still wearing court clothes, with a black bottom, and a fierce tiger hooked into gold thread. Standing there, he looked like he was standing tall, and he had a bit of a different kind of momentum.
Listening to He Suoyi's question, Shen Huo didn't rush to answer her first, but lowered his head slightly, his long eyelashes drooped down, covering his eyes: "Ayi, this palace will ask you, where did you just go?"
Listening to Shen Huo ask where she went, He Suoyi didn't notice the strangeness in Shen Huo's tone, and just answered truthfully.
"Your Highness, do you know what happened yesterday when Ning Guiren and Lin Zhuang were there?" He Suoyi first looked in Shen Huo's direction and asked softly.
Shen Huo nodded slightly and didn't say anything aside. And He Suoyi looked at Shen Huo's obvious way of knowing, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and secretly thought: Since His Highness knows, there is no need to repeat the experience to him.
Thinking like this in his heart, he only smiled slightly and said: "If His Highness knows about this matter, it will naturally be a tongue that can be explained a little less."
"It's true." He Suoyi paused for a moment, and then continued, "The concubine left the palace today, for this reason. ”
Hearing this, Shen Huo raised half of his eyebrows, revealing a somewhat tasteful look, but he was still quiet and silent, not saying much, just listening quietly to what He Suoyi said.
"Yesterday's incident, the concubine always felt that there was something strange, but there were no clues, so she decided to go to Ning Guiren or Lin Zhuang to ask what happened. However, Ning Guiren is in the cold palace right now, and it is inconvenient to see each other, so the concubine went out of the palace to find the owner of the forest in Xuanwu Village, and asked what happened. ”
Hearing this, Shen Huo nodded slightly, but just looked at He Suoyi and asked, "In that case, what did Ayi ask the owner of Lin Zhuang for?"
He Suoyi nodded, and then shook it again, "Although the concubine went to Xuanwu Village, looked for the owner of Lin Zhuang and asked about the matter, there were some questions, but I still didn't understand it. ”
Without waiting for Shen Huo to speak, He Suoyi said softly: "The concubine learned about the incident from the owner of Lin Zhuang, and there is a detail in it that makes the concubine pay special attention."
Then, without waiting for Shen Huo to ask, He Suoyi told Shen Huo all the abnormal performances of Gu Zhiheng and He Nuanliang yesterday. After Shen Huo heard this, he couldn't help frowning and thought about it carefully.
After a long while, Shen Huo looked at He Suoyi and asked cautiously: "According to Ayi's meaning, do you suspect that this matter was done by King Wu and Princess Wu?"
"That's exactly what I mean." He Suoyi nodded, and said to Shen Huo, "It's not that the concubine is suspicious, but the behavior of these two people is really suspicious in Thailand." However, there is no conclusive evidence at the moment, so the king does not dare to make a conclusion. ”
Hearing this, Shen Huo just nodded, and said softly to He Suoyi: "Okay, this palace knows." Ayi doesn't have to worry too much about this matter, the palace will go and secretly send someone to investigate the matter. ”
Shen Huo has always been very reliable, and his ability is also reassuring. Hearing Shen Huo's promise, He Suoyi's expression couldn't help but relax a lot, and he immediately nodded: "Okay."
After saying these words and explaining the matter, the two stopped talking about this matter. Because it was not early, the two of them didn't delay much, just had dinner together, and then went back to the room to rest.
Next. Shen Huo naturally followed the promise made by Tong He, and specially ordered a group of people to go and check the situation. These people are all elites, and their abilities are naturally extraordinary, so they have found a lot of clues.
All kinds of clues are tangled together, and the evidence is finally conclusive - Shen Huo has now been able to confirm that this matter is indeed done by Gu Zhiheng and He Nuanliang.
After finding out such a situation, Shen Huo naturally told He Suoyi as much as he could, and the two discussed together.
"Now that we have understood that the matter was done by King Wu and Princess Wu, what should I do?" He Suoyi looked at Shen Huo with a little worry and asked.
And Shen Huo listened to what He Suoyi said, and hesitated for a moment, and then replied thoughtfully: "Looking at the scene in front of him, Bengong feels that it is better not to act rashly first."
Shen Huo was afraid that He Suoyi would misunderstand what he meant, so he hurriedly added: "At the moment, my father is still angry, and most of them can't listen to anything. Even if our evidence is conclusive, my father will not believe it. It's better to wait until a few days later, when my father's mood has stabilized and he is talking to him, the effect will definitely be much better. ”
He Suoyi listened carefully to what Shen Huo said, thought carefully in his heart, and couldn't help but think deeply. He Suoyi immediately nodded, looked in Shen Huo's direction and said with a smile: "Your Highness is really a clever plan. It's okay, when my father calms down in a few days, it's not too late to talk to him again. ”
The two immediately agreed on it. It's just that in He Suoyi's heart, he will inevitably think of Ning Xinyi's face. If Lin Qingyuan returned to Xuanwu Village, it was like a fish in water, and he was not worried; That Ning Xinyi, He Suoyi can be said to be worried.
Although the emperor was shocked by the huge power of Xuanwuzhuang and would not move Lin Qingyuan, this did not mean that the emperor would not deal with Ning Xinyi.
Even if the emperor was happy with Ning Xinyi before, after such a time, presumably the previous favor was all transformed into hatred, and it would be even more oppressive for Ning Xinyi.
Not to mention that in the cold palace, there are still several resentful women. Since these resentful women were beaten into the cold palace by the emperor, they have been unable to see the light of day. At this time, when you see a newcomer coming, how can you not be humiliated?
Thinking like this, He Suoyi felt even more worried. It's just that the emperor is still angry at the moment, and He Suoyi can't rashly touch the emperor's bad head, so he has to suppress his thoughts and worries about Ning Xinyi in his heart, thinking that he will see Ning Xinyi again in a few days.
And as predicted by Tong He, Ning Xinyi was in the cold palace, and it could be said that life was worse than death.
Ning Xinyi was already uncomfortable in his heart, and after entering the cold palace, the depression in his heart could not dissipate. Whenever she thinks of Lin Qingyuan, Ning Xinyi always can't help but wash her face with tears.
Ning Xinyi was crying sadly, but on the other side, some people couldn't get used to it. Today, Ning Xinyi thought about the events of that day again, and couldn't help but burst into tears, letting out a whimpering cry.
Just when Ning Xinyi was crying alone, on the other side, a woman's rather impatient voice sounded: "Okay, why are you crying again?" It's just that I've done something wrong, what kind of face is there to cry here? ”
Listening to the voice, Ning Xinyi raised her head with tears in her eyes and looked at the woman. Although the woman in front of her had a beautiful figure, her face was covered by a white veil. It's just that from between the looming white veil, you can still see the hideous scar covering the face, which is even more terrifying. This woman is naturally Concubine Qin.
Looking at Concubine Qin's hideous face, and then listening to her rather indifferent and harsh words, Ning Xinyi couldn't help but feel even more sad, and the tears were even more broken, flowing down continuously, and they couldn't stop it. Tears fell to the ground one by one, making a crisp sound, and the ground soon became wet.
Seeing Ning Xinyi like this, Concubine Qin couldn't help but feel a deep disgust in her eyes. At this time, in her heart, she couldn't help but recall her experience.
If it is said that when she was beaten into the cold palace before, Concubine Qin could still rely on her beauty to gain some vitality for herself, then after she was disfigured, there was almost no room for turnaround.
Not to mention the old saying, "There is no filial son in front of the bed of a long illness". Gu Zhiheng had worked extra hard to rescue Concubine Qin before, and vowed to save her from the cold palace. In the back, it disappeared. Except for the occasional visit to Concubine Qin after coming to the Cold Palace, Concubine Qin never saw him make any efforts.
Even when he came to visit, Gu Zhiheng never mentioned the rescue of Concubine Qin. And Concubine Qin still had some hopes before, but over time, she gave up.
Although Concubine Qin has died, the resentment in her heart has not dissipated with time, but has intensified. Later, this resentment turned into a kind of dissatisfaction with whomever it was.
These days had stopped for a while, but it happened that Ning Xinyi came to the cold palace again, and Concubine Qin couldn't help but want to bully Ning Xinyi. This is not only because Ning Xinyi washes her face with tears every day, which adds a fire to Concubine Qin's already depressed heart; Or is it because of Ning Xinyi's coquettish face.
Thinking back then, Concubine Qin was also as beautiful as a flower, and her smile could touch people's heartstrings. Even in the harem of 3,000 beauties, Concubine Qin can dominate the crowd.
It can be said that this beauty is the thing that Concubine Qin is most proud of. However, all this disappeared with that disfigurement. Because of this, Concubine Qin looked at Ning Xinyi, who was extremely beautiful at the moment, and she was extremely jealous and wanted to bully.
