Chapter 143 Identifying the Empress
Although he didn't think so in his heart, but at this time, in order to learn the truth from the mouth of this slave, he had no choice but to say this, as long as he knew the reason, he would not let go of either this slave and the dog queen.
"Really, will His Highness really let the slave go?" Jiu'er looked at Murong Ba in disbelief, her eyes full of suspicion.
"Of course, His Highness knows that you were forced, so I won't blame you, but you have to explain the cause and effect of the matter one by one."
Seeing Murong Ba say this, Jiu'er seemed to believe it a little, and she said carefully: "The matter starts from the year when the queen mother entered the palace. ”
It turned out that the queen Luo Yunfeng was the daughter of the Luo family, because the Luo family held the military power, so the emperor was extremely jealous of the Luo family, but he had to rely on the Luo family, so the emperor had to marry Luo Yunfeng into the palace and named her the queen.
At that time, one of the emperor's favorite concubines was Murong Ba's mother - Concubine Zhuang, because the emperor loved Concubine Zhuang very much, and gave birth to two princes in succession, so the queen was extremely jealous of Concubine Zhuang, so she would try to get rid of Concubine Zhuang.
"At this time, Xiangluo Kingdom paid tribute to a batch of fine silk brocade, so the queen ordered the slave maid to smear the medicinal powder on the finished clothes, and gave it to Concubine Zhuang in a fake way, and Concubine Zhuang died. These are all done by the queen mother's mother, begging Her Royal Highness to be gracious and leave a living mouth for the slave and maid. After finishing speaking, Jiu'er hurriedly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
"Hmph, I can't imagine that woman would do this to my mother in order to win the favor of my father." Thinking of this Murong Ba like a thousand arrows piercing his heart, he couldn't wait to slap the servant girl in front of him to death, but he thought that he wanted her to go to his father to testify, so he endured it and didn't do anything.
"Let His Highness spare you, but you must tell the truth to your father from Your Highness, otherwise Your Highness will not be able to do anything." Murong Ba said coldly.
"Ah, go to the emperor!" Jiu'er was stunned for a moment, and then knelt on the ground and begged bitterly: "No, Your Highness, if the slave and maid go to the emperor, the queen will definitely know that the slave and maid's life will be difficult to protect at that time, and the emperor will not let the slave and maid go at that time." ”
"You think that if you don't go to His Highness, he will let you go, and His Highness will make your life worse than death, now you have to go, and if you don't go, you have to go, I can't help you!" Murong Ba said hatefully, and then said to Chen Gonggong: "Take care of this slave, don't let her have her own decision, otherwise it will be too cheap for her." ”
"Yes, Your Highness!" Then Chen Gonggong tied Jiu'er up with a rope and stuffed a piece of cloth into her mouth, and then clapped his hands.
"Early tomorrow morning, His Royal Highness will take this cheap maid to see her father and ask her to point out the Queen's hateful deeds, and His Royal Highness wants to see what else the Queen has to say."
"Yes!"
It is said that Murong Sheng was very angry because of the prince, although he stayed in Chengxuan Hall all night, but he couldn't sleep all night, why couldn't he figure out how he gave birth to such a bastard prince, and he actually competed with himself for the same woman, now it's good, it's just a joke for everyone.
Just thinking about it, suddenly Manager Xu came to report: "Qiqi Sheng, the king of Dongjun asks to see!" ”
"Ba'er, what is he doing here?" Murong Sheng pinched his somewhat dizzy head and couldn't help but wonder.
"The old slave doesn't know this." Mr. Xu replied.
"Alright, let him in." Murong Sheng commanded.
So soon, Murong Ba took Jiu'er and Ming An into the hall from the outside, and the moment he saw Murong Sheng, he hurriedly saluted and said: "Erchen to see his father, I wish my father a thousand saints Jin'an!" ”
"Excuse me, why did you come to the Chengxuan Palace?" Murong Sheng glanced at the trembling slaves beside him and couldn't help asking.
"Erchen wants to avenge his mother's grievances, and his mother's concubine died unjustly, Ba'er feels so uncomfortable!" Saying that, Murong Ba couldn't help but fall to his knees, his face painful.
"Well, what did you say?" Murong Sheng didn't expect Murong Ba to suddenly mention his mother, Concubine Zhuang, so he was stunned.
"Father, do you know this slave?" Saying that, Murong Ba couldn't help but point to Jiu'er, seeing this, Murong Sheng looked at Jiu'er for a while, and couldn't help but be a little curious: "Who she is, I don't know." ”
"Father, take a closer look."
"Could it be ......" Murong Sheng seemed to remember something, but he still didn't dare to confirm it.
"Father, she is the ninth girl next to the queen, and she used to be a popular person next to the queen, but she was imprisoned in the court because of a plague, so the emperor has not seen this palace maid again for so many years."
Hearing Murong Ba say this, Murong Sheng seemed to have an impression, and then said, "So what, what does this have to do with the death of your mother?" ”
"Father, you also think that the mother concubine died of depression, originally Ba'er also thought so, if it weren't for this slave, the son would still be kept in the dark!" Murong Ba explained, and then ordered Jiu'er: "Jiu'er, why don't you hurry up and tell your father the truth of the matter, do you want His Highness to force you to say it?" ”
Seeing this, the Jiu'er was busy kneeling on the ground and shouted: "The emperor is gracious, begging the emperor to let the slave and maid go, this is all done by the queen mother to let the slave and maid do, and the slave and maid can't do anything." ”
"Say it." Murong Sheng didn't expect Concubine Zhuang's death to have another reason, so he unconsciously stabilized his mind and ordered Jiu'er to speak slowly.
"Your Majesty, the queen is too jealous and can't see you being so kind to Concubine Zhuang, so she let the slave maid do something in Concubine Zhuang's clothes." So, Jiu'er told Murong Sheng the details of how the queen killed Concubine Zhuang.
By the time she finished speaking, Murong Sheng couldn't hold back and stood up, he always thought that he couldn't stand Concubine Zhuang, so he let her leave early, he didn't think that there was such a big conspiracy hidden in it, so he unconsciously pointed at Jiu'er and said: "Damn, Concubine Zhuang was actually killed by you, and I have been blaming myself for so many years, it is all you cheap and reckless ......."
"Your Majesty, the queen ordered the slave to do this, if the slave didn't do this, the queen would kill the slave and the maid, and the slave and the maid had no choice, begging the emperor to be merciful, begging the emperor to let the slave and maid go, and the slave and maid were also helpless...... "Jiu'er saw that the emperor was angry, and was so frightened that she hurriedly pleaded.
"Father, it was the queen who instructed this slave to do it, and the mastermind is the queen, and please ask my father to see it!" At this time, Murong Ba stepped forward unconsciously and said.
"Queen, hmph, it's actually the queen, I really underestimate her. Come on, go and invite the queen. Murong Sheng unconsciously accentuated his tone when he said the word "please".
Soon a eunuch went to the Jiaofang Palace, and when he saw the queen, he said: "The queen of Qiyu, the emperor is invited!" ”
"Well, the emperor wants me to go to the Chengxuan Palace?" Queen Luo Yunfeng was puzzled.
"Exactly!"
"Do you know what it is?" The queen didn't feel strange, saying that for so many years, the emperor had never invited herself over early in the morning, could it be that there was something greasy in this.
Originally, because of the prince's incident yesterday, she didn't sleep well all night, but when she woke up and heard such news, she didn't feel uneasy in her heart.
"Back to Niangniang, this slave doesn't know, Niangniang will know when she goes." The eunuch replied.
"It's good!" Queen Luo Yunfeng sighed, and then ordered someone to dress up, and then hurried to the Chengxuan Palace.
"The concubine visits the emperor!" Luo Yunfeng saluted as soon as she entered the hall, and then looked aside, and found that Murong Ba was also there, and what made her even more curious was that there was actually a slave kneeling on the ground.
"Queen, do you recognize who is kneeling on the ground?" When Emperor Murong Sheng saw her come in, he couldn't help but ask subconsciously.
Seeing Murong Sheng ask this, Luo Yunfeng carefully looked at the slave who was kneeling on the ground, but it didn't matter if she didn't look at it, this look scared her a lot.
Jiu'er, it's actually Jiu'er! Originally, I thought that this woman had the plague and was imprisoned in the court, and if she didn't die, she only had half a life left, but I didn't expect her to appear here alive, this ...... Luo Yunfeng didn't feel a little afraid.
"What, don't you know?" Murong Sheng asked again.
"Your Majesty, the concubines didn't sleep well yesterday, their eyes were a little not very good, and they really didn't recognize it, besides, there are so many slaves and maids in this palace, and there is no need for the concubines to know them one by one." Luo Yunfeng settled his mind and then said.
"Queen Mother, I'm Jiu'er, don't you know Jiu'er?" When the slave saw the queen say this, she unconsciously crawled towards Luo Yunfeng, grabbed her feet and necks and said.
"Ridiculous, how can you be Jiu'er, don't talk nonsense here, get out of here!" Saying that, Luo Yunfeng was about to kick Jiu'er away, but Jiu'er grabbed it tighter.
"Queen Mother, how can you treat slaves and maids like this, back then the slaves and maids swore allegiance to you, but as soon as you heard that the slaves and maids had the plague, you put the slaves and maids in the court without blinking your eyes, and over the years, the slaves and maids have lived a life that is not as good as pigs and dogs, and the queen has not thought about the slaves and maids once?" Jiu'er was also sad, thinking that she had done all the bad things for Luo Yunfeng, but she didn't expect that she would end up like this in the end, and she was also sad.
"What are you saying, this palace can't understand." Luo Yunfeng didn't feel flustered, and then said to Murong Sheng: "Your Majesty, don't listen to this slave and maid talking nonsense here, and make a fool of yourself, Your Majesty, please be clear." ”
"Luo Yunfeng, at this time, you are still lying, how can you let me believe you. The woman in front of you is obviously your former personal palace maid, and even I recognize it, and you actually say that you don't know her, and you still have to deceive me until long. Murong Sheng suddenly pointed at Luo Yunfeng and said angrily.
"Your Majesty, it's the concubines who are clumsy, these nine children are indeed different from before, and it is normal for the concubines not to recognize them, but why did the emperor let the concubines recognize these nine children?" Luo Yunfeng saw that Murong Sheng was angry, so he admitted that the slave in front of him was Jiu'er.
"Hmph, what, this is all your good work, and you still ask me what I want to do? I want to ask you what you want to do? As soon as Murong Sheng thought that Concubine Zhuang had died unjustly, he didn't have a good impression of Luo Yunfeng at all, and even felt that she was a vicious woman.
