Volume 1 Chapter 24 Interrogation of Su Xin
Dawn answered and hurried out to investigate the matter.
Wei Yu looked around the hall, his eyes fell on Chun Tao, raised his chin, and said, "Chun Tao, you come and talk back." ”
Chun Tao walked up to her with her head down, and made a big salute, "See Her Royal Highness the Princess, Your Highness Wan An." ”
Wei Yu saved the little palace maid that day just for a moment, and there was a little bit of bad intentions that made Concubine Shu unhappy, but he didn't expect to help himself resolve such a big crisis.
She asked, "The difference between the incense and the gray is not at all if ordinary people don't pay attention to it, how can you see that it is wrong?" ”
Chun Tao said respectfully: "The slave's father was originally Langzhong, the slave and maid learned a little bit of Qihuang when he was a child, and the slave and maid had been in contact with Chuxiu Palace before, because most of the materials in it were medicinal materials, so they were more attentive." ”
Wei Yu nodded, this reason is also convincing. And it must be known that the medical women in the palace are rare, and the palace people who understand medical skills are even rarer, which is an unexpected joy.
She muttered, "You have done a great job today, what reward do you want?" ”
When Chun Tao heard this, she knelt down with a plop, knocked her head, and choked up: "Back to Your Highness, after the slave's sister was executed by the concubine, she has not been able to be buried with dignity, the slave and the maid ask His Highness for grace and give the slave and maid sister a decent funeral!" ”
Wei Yu didn't expect her to say this, and she was very surprised for a while, if the palace people who were executed in private in the palace did not have relatives and friends to bother to restrain them, they would only have a place to go to the mass grave.
What kind of life are the palace people under Concubine Shu's hands?
Wei Yu sighed and said: "You have a deep sisterhood, this palace is approved, is there anything else?" ”
Chun Tao had tears in her eyes, and she was not greedy, so she shook her head.
With such a moral character, looking at it as a talent that can be created, Wei Yu said: "You have merit today, and you should be rewarded for your merit, this palace made an exception to promote you to a second-class palace maid, don't serve in the outer courtyard in the future, follow your aunt at dawn to run errands and learn something." ”
Although Wei Yu intends to promote her, she is still young after all, and she is afraid that she will not be able to do enough things, so she wants to train her.
As soon as these words came out, the other palace people in the hall secretly looked sideways.
Wei Yu is not noisy by nature, and there are very few palace people who can serve in the inner hall, and there are only a few big palace maids who accompany him, and some of these big palace maids are assigned to do some chores such as taking charge of the treasury.
For so many years, the two of them who have been able to serve in the inner hall have been able to serve Su Xin closely, but now Su Xin has been disliked, and only Xiao Xiao, the palace maid in charge, is left.
Wei Yu asked Chun Tao to run errands with Dawn, which clearly meant that he intended to promote her as his cronies.
Chun Tao's brain melon seeds are also considered to be aura, naturally she will not be unable to hear the meaning of her words, she noticed that the incense ash was just a moment of worry, she didn't expect any reward, but she didn't expect this unexpected joy.
At that moment, his eyes became more and more red, and he was overjoyed and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for your grace!" Slaves and maids go to the soup for His Royal Highness, and they do not hesitate! ”
Wei Yu was amused by her, it was not necessary to go to the soup and fire, and Hanzhang Hall did not have any swords and mountains and fires for her to cross, but it might be especially busy in the future.
Wei Yu's eyes were cold, Concubine Shu, at this time, she had better not have anything to do with it, otherwise, ......
After making a fuss, she smelled a lot of the fragrance just now, and she was also a little tired, so she waved her hand to let everyone disperse, ready to sleep again.
Everyone dispersed in unison, and Wei Yu lay back on the bed, his consciousness gradually blurred......
In the midst of his thoughts, the silence was pierced by the sound of a crack on the jade-like porcelain shattering.
Wei Yu only felt that he had come to an unknown place, and when he looked down, he saw his soul fluttering in the air, and under the soul was another self.
Wei Yu could recognize it at a glance, it was her in her previous life, Wei Yu who was placed under house arrest by Gu Jiaqing in Hengshan Courtyard.
He was dressed in white clothes, his hair was unkempt and disheveled, and his face was pale and haggard, like madness.
A slender but sturdy gold chain stretched from the bottom of her skirt and piled up at her feet, like a brilliant stream of water, and like a sinuous snake.
The other end of the chain was attached to the bed, and Wei Yu knew how long it was, just enough for her to walk to the clean room next to the house to take a bath.
It was the spring of the fifth year of Yuanhe, and she ran the farthest and the longest except for the last escape to Biansai.
She hid in Jianzhang for two months, and left the hospital for half a year.
Gu Jiaqing was very angry after he caught her back that time, and since then he has tied a special gold chain to her, and she can't even get out of the yard.
She is a princess of a country, how can she withstand such humiliation?
In the dream, she smashed a priceless green jade flower venerable, and the broken jade burst out, scattering colorful light against the sunlight that slanted in outside the door.
The sunlight illuminated the mess in the room, and Wei Yu's naked soles stepped on the broken porcelain all over the floor without care, leaving blood marks one after another, but she didn't seem to feel the pain, and acted crazy.
She couldn't remember how long she had been fussing, she was just starting to feel tired.
"Gu Jiaqing, how can you humiliate me like this!!"
"What did you take me for?!"
Not far from the room, Gu Jiaqing sat on the desk, his phoenix eyes drooped slightly, and he was reviewing the submission by himself, his tall body seemed to be a huge shadow shrouded in the sky, his expression was neither sad nor joyful, and he was completely unconcerned about her madness.
Wei Yu smashed another vase.
I don't know how long it took, but it wasn't until Wei Yu was finally exhausted and fell to the ground that he raised his head from the hard-working case and glanced at her.
He put down the case file in his hand, stood up, walked over and picked her up and laid her on the bed, took the silver needle from the medicine box that had been prepared, and lifted her bare foot to which the chains were attached.
Wei Yu wanted to break free, but he grabbed him hard.
He forced his bare foot over the floor, using a silver needle to pick out the pieces embedded in the texture, blood gushing out and staining his long, white knuckles red.
Wei Yu was tired, his eyes looked at the birds flying high on the top of the lilac-colored tent, and after a long time, he said, "Gu Jiaqing, one day I will kill you." ”
Gu Jiaqing put down her blood-drenched jade feet, her expression indifferent, "I'll wait and see." ”
When Wei Yu woke up from his sleep again, it was already evening, and the sunset reflected half of the sky red, like the embers of a fire.
Dawn opened the curtain and walked in, and asked her, "Your Highness, do you want to pass on dinner?" ”
Wei Yu didn't feel hungry, but she still said, "Pass it on," she paused, and then asked, "Is there an eyebrow about spices?" ”
Dawn was silent for a while before she replied slowly: "Su Xin has already recruited, she asked to see His Highness, will His Highness see you?" ”
Wei Yu said: "See, bring her over after dinner." ”
The meal came up quickly, Wei Yu had no appetite, and after eating a meal without swallowing, it was already dark.
Wei Yu rinsed his mouth, sat on the Luohan bed in the main hall, and waited quietly.
Not long after, dawn ran in with two grandmothers and a delicate-faced palace man, pushing and shoving her to kneel down in front of her.
The palace man's hands were tied behind his back, and it was Su Xin.
Wei Yu looked at him condescendingly and didn't speak, and the two grandmothers saw that Su Xin was at ease, so they bowed and retreated.
Silence spread in the room, and Su Xin lowered her head and did not speak.
For a long time, it was dawn that took the first step, pointed at Su Xin and said angrily: "Your Highness is here, you don't want to move quickly!" ”
She and Su Xin are also sisters, and no one is angrier than her for Su Xin's behavior.
Su Xin bowed her head and lay on the ground.
Seeing that she had made up her mind not to speak, Wei Yu raised her hand and took a sip of sweet dew, and said slowly: "Since you have the face to do it, you don't have the face to say it." Anyway, this palace asks you, who instructed you to change the incense of this palace? ”
Su Xin trembled, and said in a dumb voice: "Yes... Lady Niangniang. ”
Sure enough, it was her, as expected.
Wei Yu took a deep breath, "When did you collude with her?" ”
Su Xin choked up and said, "About seven or eight days ago." ”
Seven or eight days ago...... That was after she saw Concubine Shu in the Qianyuan Palace that day, and she remembered that she had exposed the matter of the Zhou family that day at her instigation, and Concubine Shu was afraid that it was because of this incident that she had murderous intentions.
"The spices were also changed by Concubine Shu on the day you touched them?"
"Yes."
Wei Yu's patience was suddenly exhausted, and a nameless fire arose in his heart, and he couldn't ask anymore, so he slapped the table and said angrily: "You still haven't explained it yourself!" Are you waiting for this palace to torture you? ”
Su Xin raised his head, his face was already crying, and he cried with tears in his eyes: "Your Highness! Your Highness believes me, even if you cut me with a thousand knives, I won't dare to harm Your Highness's life! On that day, the lady concubine only told the slave maid that the use of this spice would make people dizzy, and the slave and maid did not know that it would be harmful to His Royal Highness's body! If he had known earlier, he would not have agreed to the concubine even if he killed the slave maid. ”
What's the use of saying this at this time?
If everything has been done, will she be able to do it again because she didn't want to?
"Idiot! Concubine Shu regards the princess as a thorn in her eye, how can she let go of this opportunity?! Dawn's eyes were red with anger.
"You said you didn't know it was harmful to the princess, so did you take the spices back and check them? A moment of hesitation? You are also an old man in the palace, but if you think a little deeper, will you not doubt Concubine Shu's intentions? ”
Su Xin was speechless.
"But you didn't!!" Dawn trembled, "You said it nicely, but in fact, you have always only thought about yourself, stupid and selfish, how can you be worthy of His Highness's grace to you?!" ”
Wei Yu let out a sigh of relief and looked at her with lowered eyes, "Last question, this palace treats you well, why do you want to listen to Concubine Shu's slander?" ”
"Slave maid ......" Su Xin choked for a while, and seemed to find it difficult to speak.
Wei Yu said indifferently: "This is your last chance. ”
When Su Xin heard this, she stood up and said with tears in her eyes: "Concubine Shu said to the slave maid that the spice can make His Highness drowsy, and when His Highness is sick, he will take care of the benefits of serving the slave and maid in the past, and the slave and maid will have a chance to regain His Highness's trust." ”
"Your Highness," Su Xin straightened up and cried: "The slave and maid don't know what they did wrong to provoke His Highness to be disgusted and thrown out of the palace, the slave and maid are really puzzled, this will be bewitched by the concubine, the slave and maid know that they are guilty, please let Your Highness fall into the crime!" I only hope that His Highness's incense will not hurt His Highness's body, otherwise the slave and maid will be to blame. ”
Wei Yu looked at her appearance, and suddenly remembered that before she died in her previous life, she also knelt in front of her hospital bed like this and wept, telling her grievances and saying that she had no intention of harming her.
In the past and present lives, how similar the two lives are.
She always has many accidents and many last resorts, but she does not hesitate to betray her in every life, she has her own choices, but there are still so many high-sounding reasons on her lips.
Wei Yu stood up and walked slowly in front of her.
"Smack!"
She slapped Su Xin's face hard.
