Chapter 203: The Stamen Hits the Pillar
Hua Rui glanced at the cotton girl who was kneeling on the side, turned her head to the Queen Mother and said: "Back to the Queen Mother, the slave didn't know her before, and I don't know what she said to the Queen Mother, and I asked the Queen Mother to find out." ”
"You talk nonsense!" When Mian'er heard this, she retorted excitedly: "Obviously, you found me, gave me incense powder, and asked me to find a way to sprinkle him on the palace maid in the Queen Mother's palace." ”
Hearing this, Hua Rui glared at Mian'er with some anger, and said, "The two of us have no grudges, why do you want to slander me?" ”
After speaking, without waiting for Mian'er to speak, she said to Concubine Ming again: "Concubine Niangniang, the slave maid is serving by Jieyu's side, you must be the master of the slave maid, the slave maid really has never seen her, everything she said is to slander the slave maid and slander Jieyu." ”
Concubine Ming looked at Hua Rui coldly and said, "Is it slandering the decision of the Empress Dowager?" ”
When Mian'er heard this, she immediately spoke up and said to the Queen Mother: "The Queen Mother, what the slave said is true, the slave and the maid really did not slander her, and the slave and maid still have the bracelet and silver ticket she gave to the slave and maid." ”
Hua Rui finally felt a little flustered after hearing Mian'er's words.
Laifu on the side asked Mian'er aloud: "Where are the bracelets and silver tickets?" ”
"At the bottom of the slave's bed, you can find it by uncovering the third brick against the wall." Mian'er said.
Laifu gave a look to a small eunuch next to him and asked him to look for it.
Soon, the little eunuch walked in with a silver ticket and a silver bracelet of skein.
Although the bracelet was silver, the workmanship was very delicate and complicated, and it was by no means something that a little palace maid could have, let alone the one hundred and twenty-one silver tickets.
It is still easy to find out who the original owner of such a bracelet is.
The Queen Mother glanced at the bracelet and silver ticket in front of her and asked, "What else do you have to say?" ”
Hua Rui didn't speak, but thought she had a secret glance at Concubine Ming, as if she was waiting for Concubine Ming's instructions.
Seeing that Concubine Ming didn't react, Hua Rui lowered her head and said to the Queen Mother: "The slave and maid really don't know anything, all this is because she is slandering the slave and maid, and she also asks the Queen Mother to be the master of the slave and maid." ”
After speaking, while Laifu and the others were not paying attention, Blossom got up and crashed into the pillar on the side.
Laifu reacted, hurriedly went forward to check, and found that the person was dead.
Laifu shook his head at the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother squinted, waved her hand to carry the body of Hua Rui down, and then turned her head and asked Concubine Ming, "What do you think about this?" ”
Concubine Ming smiled helplessly at the Queen Mother, and said, "This matter involves the palace people in my palace and the big palace maid next to Ming Jieyu, I really can't say it." ”
When the Queen Mother heard this, she smiled and said, "What kind of person are you, isn't it clear that the mourning family is grieved?" Don't worry, no matter what happens this time, the mourning family will definitely find out, and they will never let people splash dirty water on you. ”
When Concubine Ming heard this, she hurriedly thanked the Queen Mother gratefully.
"We don't have to be so polite to each other." The Queen Mother said, but she didn't ask Concubine Ming's opinion again.
The two said a few more words, and the Queen Mother asked her to take Mian'er back to Fu'an Palace.
As soon as the Queen Mother's people left, Concubine Ming's face sank, and she said to the big palace maid beside her: "Go and check, whether this incident has anything to do with Ming Jieyu." ”
Concubine Ming hopes that this time it would be best to be bought by someone with ulterior motives from Ying, rather than really related to Ming Jieyu.
But......
Judging from Concubine Ming's understanding of Ming Jieyu, it is indeed very likely that such a stupid thing can be done by Ming Jieyu.
As long as this incident is related to Ming Jieyu, then even if she really doesn't know about it from beginning to end. Just the relationship between her and Ming Jieyu, the relationship between the third prince and Ming Jieyu, and the palace people who are also involved in her palace are enough to leave a pimple in the hearts of the queen mother and the emperor.
Ming Jieyu waited left and right in the palace but never waited for Hua Rui to come back, nor did she wait for the news of her summons, she was both worried and uneasy.
When it was time to go to bed, she lay in bed and couldn't sleep anyway.
After lying down for a while, Ming Jieyu sat up from the bed and said to Yunsheng, another big palace maid beside her: "You go and inquire and see how Hua Rui is now." ”
In fact, Ming Jieyu should have inquired about the news before, but she didn't dare to let people inquire, she really couldn't hold it at this time, so she told Yunshang to inquire.
When Yunshang heard this, she answered and went out to inquire.
It took a lot of effort for Yunshang to finally hear the news that Hua Rui had died by hitting the pillar.
After Ming Jieyu heard the news, she finally relieved herself, the stamens were already dead, so as long as she insisted that she didn't know anything, then the Queen Mother couldn't do anything to her.
Ming Jieyu, who was relieved, lay down on the bed and fell asleep with peace of mind.
In Fu'an Palace, Concubine Ming listened to Congying's report, but she couldn't wait to go to Yongchun Palace to pinch Ming Jieyu, a niece who had more than enough success and more than failure.
Although this incident was from beginning to end it was the big palace maid Hua Rui next to Ming Jieyu, but the bracelet that Hua Rui gave to Mian'er was Ming Jieyu's.
Of course, Ming Jieyu can also quibble that the bracelet was given to Hua Rui by her.
However, after checking the stamen, Concubine Ming found that Ming Jieyu revealed more than that, and the fragrant powder that the stamen gave to Mian'er was also obtained by Ming Jieyu, and the other big palace maid in Ming Jieyu's palace had also inquired about what fragrance would stimulate the cat before this incident, and after the cat ran away from Shou'an Palace, the person who brought the cat to Concubine Zhuang was also Ming Jieyu's person.
In general, there are simply handles everywhere.
Concubine Ming thought about whether to help Ming Jieyu sweep away her tail, but Ming Jieyu was too stupid, she was worried that once she did this, Ming Jieyu showed her feet in other aspects, and she was really involved.
Even if the queen mother and the emperor don't hold her accountable for their past feelings, I'm afraid that those feelings will be wiped out.
After thinking about it, Concubine Ming still decided to do nothing.
In this way, although the Queen Mother and the Emperor will not trust her and the Third Prince as much as before because of Ming Jieyu, no matter what, she is not wrong on the face, but the Emperor and the Queen Mother will not be so alienated from her on the surface.
Only in this way can she continue to take the three princes to continue to appear in front of the emperor and the queen mother, and deepen the relationship between the three princes and them.
What Concubine Ming can find here, the Queen Mother can naturally find out there, just because the channels are different, and the Queen Mother is not as good as Concubine Ming who knows the connections in Ming Jieyu's palace, and she finds it a little later than Concubine Ming.
But it's not too late.
The next morning, the Queen Mother sent what she found to Luo Chengjing.
