Chapter 185: Zheng Jieyu's Death
Zheng Jieyu was deprived of her title and given death and the reward to Lu Yuning were sent out of Jianzhang Palace at the same time, causing an uproar in the harem.
Everyone in the harem didn't expect Zheng Jieyu to be so bold that she dared to poison the emperor.
In Qingren Palace, Concubine Jing was pruning the jasmine in the pot, and when she heard this, she was stunned, so she cut off the main branch that she had planned to keep.
Concubine Jing looked at the main branch that fell to the ground, handed the sight in her hand to the palace maid Su Juan on the side, and sighed: "A good pot of flowers has been destroyed like this, let's move it out and deal with it." ”
When the little palace maid heard this, she stepped forward and moved away the pot of jasmine that was originally densely foliage.
Su Juan put the scissors away, took the handkerchief and handed it to Concubine Jing, and said, "Niangniang, will Zheng Jieyu's matter affect you?" ”
Concubine Jing handed the handkerchief that had wiped her hands to Su Juan, and said lightly: "It will naturally affect it." ”
However, this impact is not because she is close to Zheng Jieyu on weekdays, but because there is a relationship between her father and the Zheng family.
Now it depends on whether the emperor plans to move her father, if the emperor plans to move her father, then she is afraid that her position as a concubine will not be kept, if the emperor does not plan to move her father at present, then she will not be fine for the time being.
Su Juan didn't understand this, so she didn't understand why Concubine Jing knew that this matter would affect her, but she could still be so calm at the moment.
Su Juan wanted to ask, but seeing that Concubine Jing no longer had the intention of continuing the topic, she had no choice but to suppress her doubts in her heart.
In the Linglong Pavilion, Lu Yuning looked at the rewards that were about to fill the room, and smiled and rewarded the little eunuch who came to give the reward.
After the little eunuch left, Lu Yuning only briefly looked at it, and asked Qingzhi and Qingdai to temporarily put things into the side hall.
In the past three years, Luo Chengjing has rewarded her with a lot of things, and the empty room used as a warehouse in Linglong Pavilion can no longer be fitted.
Originally, Qingzhi wanted to clean up another empty room and use it as a warehouse, but she thought that she was about to move to Biyun Palace, so she didn't clean it up.
These things that Luo Chengjing appreciated today can only be temporarily placed in the side hall, and then moved to Biyun Palace together on June 18, and then put them into storage.
Qingzhi and Qingdai were busy sorting out these things and making a book, Lu Yuning looked at them for a while, and yawned boredly.
Qingzhi glanced at Lu Yuning and said, "Is the master sleepy?" Slaves waiting for you to rest for a while? ”
They have all gone back to their own territory, so of course they can sleep if they want to.
Lu Yuning answered, lay on her long-lost bed under Qingzhi's service, and then fell asleep after a while.
Lu Yuning slept very soundly this night, and when she woke up, half noon had already passed.
Lu Yuning sat up from the bed and sighed in a very good mood: "Sure enough, I still have my own bed to sleep comfortably." ”
Hearing this, Qing Dai said on the side: "Master, you have been asleep for more than two hours. ”
"So long?" Lu Yuning said: "No wonder I feel like I've finally woken up." ”
"Didn't the master sleep well in Jianzhang Palace during this time?" Qing Dai asked.
During Lu Yuning's time in Jianzhang Palace, Qingzhi has been serving Qingzhi closely, and Qingdai was left in Linglong Pavilion to take care of the house, and Qingdai didn't know much about Lu Yuning's life in Jianzhang Palace.
Lu Yuning nodded, "A little." ”
Although she sleeps as usual every day in Jianzhang Palace, it is difficult for her to sleep soundly when she is in Jianzhang Palace.
"The master suffered." Qing Dai said distressedly.
Lu Yuning said with a smile: "If you let the other concubines in the palace hear this, they should say that we are cheap and behaved." ”
What a great honor it is to be able to stay in Jianzhang Palace for so long.
"Although it is indeed a good thing that the master can serve the emperor, it is also a fact that the master suffers." Qing Dai said.
Qingzhi walked in from outside, heard Qingdai's words, and asked, "What fact?" ”
"I said that my master has suffered during this time."
Qingzhi nodded in agreement when she heard this, "Indeed." ”
Lu Yuning smiled, "Anyway, there will be no such opportunities in the future." ”
The three masters and servants were talking, and a little palace maid came in to report: "Master, Zhou Cairen is here." ”
After hearing this, Lu Yuning asked Qingzhi and Qingdai to serve her to dress and make up, and said to the little palace maid: "Serve tea to Zhou Cairen and let her sit for a while." ”
When Lu Yuning went out of the inner room, Zhou Cairen was drinking tea with him, and when he saw Lu Yuning coming out, Zhou Cairen stood up and saluted Lu Yuning and said, "The concubine has seen Concubine Zhuang. ”
Lu Yuning walked over to help Zhou Cairen and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a few days, why did Cairen see me outside." ”
Zhou Cairen also smiled and said: "It's not like I haven't seen Concubine Zhuang for a while, and now I finally see the concubine and I have to show my own attitude." ”
Lu Yuning shook her head, "It's the best attitude that you can come to see me." ”
"Originally, the concubine heard that Niangniang had returned to Linglong Pavilion and planned to come over, but then I heard that the emperor rewarded Niangniang with a lot of things, and the concubine thought that Niangniang would definitely need time to clean up, so she changed the time to this time."
"Then it's a coincidence that you're here." Lu Yuning smiled: "If I had come a little earlier, I might still be sleeping." ”
"That's true."
Zhou Cairen came today to care about Lu Yuning, talk to Lu Yuning, and left after a while.
After Zhou Cairen left, Zhou Man came in from outside and talked to Lu Yuning about Zheng Jieyu.
After the emperor's decree was sent to the Ruyi Pavilion, Zheng Jieyu did not panic, and after calmly accepting the decree, she dressed up with her own hands, and then a white silk went around the beam, ending her life.
"The emperor has already asked Zheng Jieyu's body to be thrown into a mass grave at this time." Zhou Man said with a sigh.
A day ago, she was still a concubine on the top, but now she is wrapped in a broken mat and her soul has returned to the mass grave.
Lu Yuning didn't feel anything about it, Zheng Jieyu could poison the emperor, do you still want the emperor to have any affection for her?
In the next few days, although Luo Chengjing no longer had to pretend to be poisoned, he had to deal with the ministers who were bribed by King Qi, and he had to deal with the folds that had accumulated some time ago, and he didn't have time to enter the harem.
As a result, it has been almost a month since the new batch of show girls entered the palace, and everyone has not even seen the emperor.
There is that anxious, I can't wait anymore, and I start to think about other things.
Lu Yuning is now a concubine, and without Zheng Jieyu, she has become the most favored one in the palace, so naturally someone will hit her with the idea.
Lu Yuning originally made an appointment with Zhou Cairen to enjoy the lotus, and the lotus flowers in Wenxin Lake bloomed just right at this time.
But as soon as she packed herself up, before she went out, Qingzhi came in and reported: "Master, Wang Cairen, who has newly entered the palace this year, has come to greet you." ”
