Chapter 15: Luo Zhihua (15)
Now she is tortured to the point that her whole body is weak, but she still explains to the emperor again and again that she is innocent.
I clutched my heart and stood still, not daring to move, and even the sound of my breathing became extremely shallow.
Fortunately, the emperor didn't say anything to blame, but just kept comforting Sister Qing'er, don't be afraid...... Don't be afraid.
Don't be afraid, I believe you, and finally let Sister Qing'er settle down a little.
But who can guess the emperor's thoughts?
Even if he really pitied Qing'er's sister, so what? Now so many people are standing here, seeing all the embarrassment of Qing'er's sister.
No matter how strict the gag order is, it may not guarantee that everyone is afraid of death.
Concubine Hua and I glanced at each other, both worried about Qing'er's sister's future.
Until......
The emperor opened his mouth and said, "Those who are superfluous do not have to live until dawn. ”
I and Concubine Hua are the two of us, and we can be regarded as truly relieved.
In this world, nothing is absolute. But only the dead will not speak.
"Slow!" No matter how vicious and dirty Concubine Hui's mind is, on the bright side, she has always been famous in the harem in the name of virtue.
"Your Majesty...... Today's incident is not trivial. After all...... Sister Nian looks like this, so many pairs of eyes are looking at it. The emperor should find out the truth and correct the name of his sister. If you let it go and slaughter so many innocent lives in vain, I am afraid it will cause panic in the harem. ”
After that, she still glanced at Sister Qing'er, "This harem panic is a trivial matter, but if someone moves their suspicions to Sister Nian'er...... I'm afraid it's not appropriate. ”
I heard this, and I was about to open my mouth to refute. But who expected, Concubine Hua grabbed my sleeve on the side, shook her head at me, and signaled no.
Just when I was puzzled, I saw the emperor take a deep look at Concubine Hui, and said to Gui Gong on the side, "Remember, make your hands and feet clean." ”
"Your Majesty, your life is raised by your parents, please think twice!"
Seeing that the emperor refused to listen to her opinion, Concubine Hui knelt down straightforwardly.
Seeing this, Concubine Hua couldn't sit idly by anymore and ignore the difference between what Sister Guifei said. ”
After that, he said, "Sister Guifei is kind-hearted, and she feels sorry for those innocent lives, and the concubine should understand." It's just that the sister of the concubine doesn't feel sorry for the emperor and the sister of the concubine? ”
Concubine Hui was stunned for a moment, so she said, "Sister Hua's sister is serious, and this palace just thinks that the matter is not over." ”
"That's not it?" Concubine Hua frowned and said, "The emperor and Sister Nian Concubine are affectionate, Sister Nian Concubine was framed, are you wronged or not?" Is the emperor distressed? Don't say anything else, just say that the emperor is the ninety-five, and the royal majesty cannot be violated, and those people will definitely die. ”
"Emperor" Xu is Duan Xiuyi was afraid that Concubine Hui would not be able to compete with Concubine Hua alone, so he also knelt down with a puff: "Your Majesty, the concubine and Concubine Hui both believe that the concubine's sister was framed. It's just that the person who framed Nian Concubine's sister has to be found, right? If not...... In this palace, people are really panicking. "I looked at Concubine Hui and Duan Xiuyi, you said a word to me, and every word said that it was for the good of Sister Qing'er, and I was infinitely disdainful in my heart.
Tonight's events, as long as a person who understands, will know who did it. The reason why Concubine Hui and Duan Xiuyi did not hesitate to kneel down to intercede for such slaves was just because they didn't want their efforts to be in vain.
"Enough" The emperor looked coldly at the two kneeling on the ground, and said, "It's about the innocence of the concubine, and I must investigate!" It's not early, let's go back and rest. ”
After that, he was going to leave with Qing'er's sister.
Seeing this, Concubine Hua and I hurriedly got out of the way, intending to send off the holy driver.
But who knows, Duan Xiuyi is determined to put Qing'er's sister to death, "Your Majesty, now that the truth of the matter has not yet been revealed, if the emperor fails to deal with it, I am afraid that the sisters in the harem will be unhappy in their hearts." ”
When the emperor heard this, he glanced at Duan Xiuyi coldly, "Hmm...... Duan Xiuyi is right. ”
After that, he said, "Father-in-law Gui, tomorrow I will pass the decree, and Concubine Nian will return to the palace privately regardless of her pregnancy, causing everyone in the harem to worry about her, which is really capricious!" I thought that she was pregnant with a dragon heir, so I confined her to the Furong Xuan to raise the baby until the dragon heir. ”
Gonggong Gui was stunned for a moment, and then he understood, "Yes, Your Majesty." The people outside are still ......."
"Kill!"
Without waiting for Gonggong Gui to finish speaking, the emperor spit out such a word lightly. It is considered to have shattered the hopes of Concubine Hui and Duan Xiuyi!
……
The emperor finally brought Qing'er's sister back to the palace, and the plan of Concubine Hui and Duan Xiuyi also failed.
It stands to reason that the emperor has ordered the killing of people and the destruction of the mouth, and locked Qing'er's sister in Furong Xuan, not allowing anyone to set foot in it, I should have felt at ease.
But for some reason, I couldn't sleep at night, and my heart became more and more restless.
Judging from what happened tonight, Concubine Hui and Duan Xiuyi have long been unable to get rid of suspicion. They deliberately acted in such a big scene, not only to abort Qing'er's sister. I'm afraid that I want the entire Murong family to be buried together.
Such a ruthless approach is really embarrassing and panicked.
The two of them, if they don't get rid of each other, Sister Qing'er and I are in this palace, and we won't have a day to live.
Last time, I slandered me for disregarding the life of my fetus to frame Duan Xiuyi. Now, it is to frame Qing'er's sister to secretly cross Chen Cang. So what about next time? Next time, I don't know what moths will come out again!
……
Sure enough, my worries were not unfounded.
In just one night, gossip spread to every corner of the palace.
It is said that Qing'er's sister is shameless and hides in the cold palace to have a private meeting with others. It is said that Qing'er's sister was caught red-handed by the emperor before she had a piece of clothing...... Treacherous.
Some people even say that Qing'er's sister committed a cheap crime by herself, but the eunuch and palace maid who did it lost her life because of it, and she is an unknown person.
At this moment, I am only glad that Qing'er's sister was "grounded" in Furong Xuan and couldn't hear these ugly words. Otherwise, I don't know how much she wants to care.
"The emperor has obviously ordered Gonggong Gui to dispose of those people. I don't know where this gossip came from. ”
Since the day of Yusheng's brother's wedding, Concubine Hua has reminded me openly and honestly. I somewhat changed my opinion about this seemingly harmless and virtuous woman.
Sitting with her, it's not about how she is, it's not about me.
But...... How is Sister Qing'er.
If I said before, Concubine Hua was more or less a sensible person in my heart. has a deep friendship with her, and it is not a loss.
But since that conversation, I've always felt that she's not as simple as it seems.
At least for me, she wasn't sincere.
So......
The only person I can talk to her about is Sister Qing'er.
Sister Qing'er is like the bond between me and Concubine Hua, because of Sister Qing'er, I will be warm with Concubine Hua. If there is no her, I think that although I will not die of old age with Concubine Hua, I will not get along with each other. But, it won't be friends either.
It's okay, as long as she is sincere to Qing'er's sister, there is no loss to me, is it?
"Those eunuchs and palace maids were executed, but aren't Concubine Hui and Duan Xiuyi still alive?" Concubine Hua took a shallow sip of tea, and said, "As long as they want to, what gossip can't be made?" ”
"But the emperor has already ordered us not to say much. For the sake of safety, it is even more extinguished. I lowered my eyes and said, "The two of them are so arrogant, aren't they afraid that the emperor will blame them?" These words are so ugly, Qing'er can't hear them. But if it accidentally gets into her ear, won't it hurt her heart! ”
"They are so bold to frame Qing'er, do you think the emperor doesn't know?" Concubine Hua glanced at me and said, "The emperor clearly knows who is the most suspicious, didn't he also ask them about their crimes?" ”
After that, Concubine Hua sneered and continued, "Concubine Hui has been with you for many years, and there is no merit and hard work. The emperor is a nostalgic person, so he will naturally give her opportunities again and again.
And Duan Xiuyi, it was the Duan family standing behind her. Although Prime Minister Duan is a cancer, his current status in the court should not be underestimated.
Although Duan Xiuyi has not been in the limelight in recent days, in the end, he is also the person who favored the Sixth Palace back then, where is it so easy to say that he will fall? ”
After finishing speaking, Concubine Hua patted my hand and comforted, "Now that the emperor can not believe what he sees in front of him, and condemn Qing'er, it is already our great luck." ”
"But now that the rumors are so disturbing, what should I do?" Although Qing'er's sister is in Furong Xuan, it is inevitable that she will come out one day. If you hear these words, will you not be discouraged?
What's more, Qing'er's sister is now a person with children. These rumors hurt her, she is an adult after all, and she can bear it.
But if you ...... What should you do if you doubt the lineage of your heirs?
"Don't worry," Concubine Hua sighed, and said, "The emperor can stay in danger once, and if he chooses to believe in Qing'er in that bad situation, he can be in danger for the second time, and solve these rumors for Qing'er." ”
After finishing speaking, he said earnestly, "Since the emperor has affection for Qing'er, he will put himself in Qing'er's shoes." We are worried about it a hundred times here, but it is not as simple as the emperor's words. ”
When I heard what I said, I felt justified, and I said no more.
……
What Concubine Hua said is really right, we are worried a hundred times, it is not as simple as the emperor's words.
The rumors only fermented for two days, and the emperor ordered that those who chewed the root of the master's tongue be arrested one by one. Then, pull out the tongue and fry it for them to eat on their own.
Although the method is cruel, it is very violent. But it has to be said that it is extremely effective.
Overnight, the whole palace was a lot quieter. Those ugly foul words never appeared in the ears of the people again.
……
Things have developed to this day, there are no more gossip, and Qing'er's sister is also relieved to raise a baby in Furong Xuan. My hanging heart finally let go.
Although it is not possible to correct Hui Guifei Niangniang and Duan Xiuyi for a while, I believe in karma.
There will come a time when they will pay the price for what they have done.
Just now...... Let Qing'er's sister give birth to the child safely, which is the top priority.
……
I shut myself up in the palace all day long, embroidering knick-knacks for my sister's children.
Shoes, hats, clothes, every piece is made extremely delicately.
"The little master's female red is getting better and better, and these hibiscus flowers are embroidered vividly, as if they can smell their fragrance." Xiang Yang found a new silk thread, smiled and praised, "However, the hat is hibiscus, the shoes are hibiscus, and now this dress is also hibiscus." Don't...... Does the little lord want to give birth to a princess? ”
"I hope Qing'er can give birth to a girl," I smiled and stroked the hibiscus flowers on my clothes, "Royal children have always had a thin life and are not easy to grow up. Ruoqing'er gave birth to a prince, and she didn't know how to protect him.
It's better to give birth to a girl, with a support, no one will do anything to the little girl. Anyway, the emperor has no heirs now, and the prince and the princess are actually the same. ”
When Xiang Yang heard this, he said, "The slave knows that the little master likes the girl, and she also puts herself in the shoes of the little master." But little master, think about it, if the little master of Nian Concubine gives birth to a prince, how to give away this full of hibiscus? ”
"Qing'er's belly is only seven months, and there is time." I picked up the embroidery needle in my hand and said, "When I finish this dress, I will make her a set of men's baby clothes." You girl, I'm not in a hurry, what are you anxious about? ”
After finishing speaking, he said, "Besides, even if Qing'er gives birth to a prince, she will not dislike this hibiscus dress if she gives it away." ”
"Yes, yes, the little master of the concubine has a deep sisterhood with you, so naturally you will not dislike it." Xiang Yang smiled and said, "She, not only does she not dislike it, but she will also be offered like a baby." ”
"Your mouth is poor......
"Little Lord! Little Lord! Big deal! In the midst of the laughter in the room, the sound of Handong suddenly came from outside.
Without paying attention, the slender needle sank into my fingernails.
"Hiss"
I gasped.
"Little Lord, be careful!" Xiang Yang grabbed my hand and helped me pull out the embroidery needle, his face full of worry.
And Han Dong, who was out of breath, said out of breath, "Little master, something happened to Furong Xuan!" ”
Furong Xuan, something is wrong!
"What's wrong!" I suddenly withdrew my hand, and I didn't care about letting Xiangyang help me with the medicine, "Is something wrong with Qing'er?" ”
"Little master, the little master of the concubine has a miscarriage!"
As soon as Han Dong's words came out, I almost fell to the ground, "Go!" Come with me to Furong Xuan to have a look! ”
……
When I came to Furong Xuan, Furong Xuan was already bloody, very bloody.
Qing'er was still asleep, and Russell's face was extremely embarrassed.
I watched the emperor stay aside, and the guilt and pain in his eyes were so deep.
I know that Qing'er's sister's child can't be saved.
