Chapter 33: Falling apart
As soon as Cao Zhaoyi left, he left a bunch of tea sets to clean up.
Huaixi skillfully cleaned up the tea bowl, sneered, and muttered in his mouth.
"Knowing that she lost her body, didn't she take it off herself? If you don't come here in clothes, let's not talk about it...... Who rarely saw it, and who rarely said it? ”
Xin Wei covered her mouth and yawned, and said with a smile: "That's good." ”
Cao Zhaoyi actually wanted to swagger through the market.
This cloak, Cao Zhaoyi thought it was the emperor's warmth, maybe not.
"What?" Huaixi didn't understand.
Xin Wei didn't explain too much, and said to her: "Just throw away the tea bowl used by Cao Zhaoyi, don't be busy, go to sleep." ”
-
Winter goes to spring, Cao Zhaoyi is not only safe and sound, but also especially beautiful, wandering in the imperial garden all day long, and from time to time people mention the lively cloak encounter with the emperor at that time.
Everyone was tired of listening, but they still pretended to be interested in listening to her talk over and over again.
Shen Shuning stood on the Wangfeng Pavilion, looking at Cao Zhaoyi, who was full of spring light among the flowers not far away, and wondered: "The queen is still quite calm?" ”
Xin Wei said: "Maybe Cao Zhaoyi is getting more and more stupid, and the queen feels more and more that this person doesn't need to be bothered." Or maybe the queen also figured out that only the prosperity of the mother clan can keep her phoenix crown, and civil strife will disintegrate a family faster than striking from the outside. ”
This is also the reason why Xin Wei insists on starting with Cao Zhaoyi.
The queen's father is the prime minister, Cao Zhaoyi's father is the head of the household, and the Cao brothers complement each other in order to create today's glory in the temple.
A united clan is indestructible, and if they disagree with each other and fight each other, they can fall apart.
"So that's it?"
"Naturally, you can't," Xin Wei said, "Do you know what it means to make something out of nothing and set up a blame?" ”
"Fabricated out of thin air," Shen Shuning muttered, "the trick used by the queen...... Will this work? ”
-
"Your Majesty, Cao Zhaoyi's mother is drowning!"
When Shen Xiao heard such a report, he didn't raise his head, and continued to read the fold in his hand: "People are okay." ”
Xigong said: "Fortunately, the little master Xin passed by and rescued Zhaoyi Niangniang." ”
Shen Xiao's eyes were stunned.
"Xin Jieyu?"
"Yes, if it weren't for Xiao Master Xin, Zhaoyi Niangniang would be worried about her life...... I heard that Xiao Master Xin had a cold this time, did he let the doctor diagnose and treat it? ”
"What does the imperial doctor do in the palace if he doesn't cure the disease, and I still have to ask me about this?" Shen Xiao said impatiently.
Father-in-law Xi said again: "Your Majesty, there is something strange about falling into the water, the eldest princess and Her Royal Highness the Queen have gone to Cuiwei Palace. ”
Strange, there must be something, there are not so many unprovoked disasters in the palace.
Shen Xiao put down the scroll, got up and walked out, "Set up Cuiwei Palace." ”
In Cuiwei Palace, the eunuch had loudly announced that "the emperor has arrived", and everyone else had knelt down silently, and Cao Zhaoyi was still crying on the bed.
Seeing the emperor walk into the palace, Cao Zhaoyi lifted the futon and got off the bed, with her hair scattered, wearing only an apricot red bedrobe and kneeling on the glass floor barefoot.
"Your Majesty! The concubine will almost never see you again! ”
She brought rain with pear blossoms, crying and trembling all over: "The emperor is aware that someone framed the concubine and deliberately pushed the concubine into the water!" ”
Shen Shuning crossed his legs, sat leisurely on the circle chair on the side, and said: "It's so vicious, most of the women in the palace don't know how to water, this Cao Zhaoyi either died because no one saved him, or he was picked up by the guards and lost his reputation, which is also a dead end." ”
Cao Zhaoyi thought about the words of the eldest princess, which was very reasonable, and she was really afraid to think about it.
"If it weren't for Xin Jieyu who happened to pass by and save the concubine, the concubine would never have recovered!"
At this time, everyone's eyes were unanimously looking at Xin Wei who was wrapped in a sheet in the corner.
Xin Wei's hair was not dry, wet and draped over her shoulders, wrapped in a tooth-white quilt and curled up into a ball and kneeling on the ground.
Quiet and unremarkable.
"Have you seen it with the Imperial Doctor?" Shen Xiao asked.
The imperial doctor took a step forward and said, "Back to the emperor, Zhaoyi Niangniang is fine, but she is frightened." ”
"Xin Jieyu, have you seen it too?"
"Xiao Master Xin has a cold, Wei Chen has prescribed medicine, and the little master can take a few pairs."
Shen Xiao stopped asking, bowed down to help Cao Zhaoyi, and said softly: "It's cold on the ground, you go to the bed." ”
Cao Zhaoyi sobbed and said: "The emperor is the master of the concubines......"
"I'll call the shots for you."
Shen Xiao sat down on the circle chair brought by the next person, and his faint gaze quickly glanced at everyone's faces.
Imperial sister, queen, Xin Wei, Concubine Liu, there are not many people present in the palace, it seems that the imperial sister does not plan to make things too big.
The queen took the lead in speaking: "Your Majesty, this matter is about the concubine's cousin, and the concubine wants to ask for a decree, and the concubine will thoroughly investigate this matter." ”
Now that the affairs of the harem are in charge of Concubine Liu, this matter should also be investigated by Concubine Liu, but the queen asked for her cousin, which is reasonable.
Concubine Liu stood silently beside her.
Shen Shuning knocked the melon seeds and said coldly: "The queen has always loved to bend and beat into tricks when trying cases, this matter of falling into the water, if the queen tries it and Cao Zhaoyi dives into the water and kills herself, what should I do?" ”
As soon as Cao Zhaoyi heard this, she remembered the conversation she overheard that day, and she was instantly empowered and broke out in a cold sweat.
If this matter is done by the queen's cousin, after the queen's first trial, it will definitely be unfavorable to herself!
"Sister Queen!" Cao Zhaoyi said hurriedly, "My sister knows that the queen's sister has good intentions, but the harem is difficult to block, and my sister doesn't want to cause trouble for the queen's sister anymore, so this matter is still not the queen's sister." ”
The queen thought that the eldest princess would obstruct it, and thought that Concubine Liu would be reluctant, but she didn't think that her cousin Cao Zhaoyi also told her not to meddle in this matter, so she couldn't help but be a little annoyed.
But the emperor is here, and she can't have a seizure, so she can only say: "Yan'er, you don't have to think too much, this palace doesn't care what others say, I just want to get justice for you, and don't let the villains go unpunished." ”
Shen Shuning asked coldly: "I don't see how you interact with this cousin on weekdays, but this time it's eager?" ”
The queen blushed in annoyance, but endured it all her life.
"Why does the eldest princess care so much about the concubine's cousin? On the first day of the Lunar New Year, didn't the eldest princess punish her? ”
Shen Shuning said with a smile: "This time is different from the past, the woman the emperor likes is the good sister of this princess, and this princess naturally has to be concerned." ”
Hearing this, Cao Zhaoyi blushed with shame, forcibly suppressed her excitement, and turned her face away shyly.
The eldest princess said that the emperor liked her, and it seems that this is indeed the case.
Shen Xiao glanced at Shen Shuning speechlessly, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he didn't refute.
The queen had heard about the cloak, but she didn't take it seriously. She has always thought that this cousin is not a good person, and the emperor has always been gentle with others, and it is not a very special thing to give a cloak.
But now, the eldest princess said that the emperor liked Cao Yan.
The queen was shocked, is the emperor blind?
Liu Qingshu, who is happy and elegant, doesn't love the dignified and generous Yu Zhaoyi, but she likes this empty airbag Cao Yan?
