Saint Ronon verse 11
She exclaimed, remembering the words explained by her master, she didn't think much about why she came out of the inner hall, nor did she think about why she was so charming, so she was busy thinking about it, "Something happened to the Ming Se Palace, and the master asked you to follow her." β
Her attitude towards Wanfu is not as kind as Lu Changzai, after all, this woman has the heart to sit in that seat, and she doesn't know if she will help her master in the future, and she looks down on her with the help of her master's slave who climbs the bed, and she also despises it.
The holy car outside the hall had already walked away, and Liu He took her almost in a hurry to follow.
Wanfu had already heard the words outside, after she entered the palace, when she followed Jiang Guifei, she was instructed to run to various palace dining rooms, so she was not completely ignorant of the concubines in the harem.
The emperor has been on the throne for five years, but there are not many heirs in the harem, only the eldest prince raised by the queen and Princess Shunning in the palace of the concubine. After Concubine Jing had Princess Shunning, she rarely appeared in front of people except for greetings.
Wanfu didn't expect that she would be involved with Concubine Jing.
β¦β¦
At this time, just after the hour, the palaces were about to prepare for the placement, when they heard the panic movement outside.
The queen pinched her forehead and sat up from the couch, "What's the noise outside?" β
Comb Liu listened to the little eunuch's confession, and came in from outside at night, "Niangniang, something happened, that wild cat scratched Princess Shunning." β
She lit the candle flame in her hand, illuminating the dormitory, the queen moved, I didn't know what to think, and sneered, "This play is getting more and more exciting." β
β¦β¦
There are few heirs in the harem, and Princess Shunning's status in the emperor's heart is not inferior to that of the eldest prince.
When Wanfu and Liu He arrived at the Ming Se Palace, the holy car had only arrived not long ago, and Liu He was looking for the master among the people, and the master was now pregnant, so he couldn't make mistakes in the chaos and let people take advantage of the loopholes.
At that time, Lu Chang was under Luanyu, thinking that she had a body, Li Xuanyin ordered someone to sit down, and the nearby concubines all rushed to the Mingse Palace. The emperor didn't even sit, who dared to sit on others.
Liu He found Lu Changzai and rushed to the master's side, this night was sultry, there were signs of wind and rain coming, she hurried over, and some light sweat came out of her forehead.
Lu Changzai was a little comforted when she saw her anxious appearance, but it was her personal person, who followed Wanfu over, and after the blessing, her eyes faded.
She listened to her words in this incident tonight, if there was really an accident and the emperor disliked it, she would naturally push people out mercilessly.
The emperor hasn't given her a position for so long, and she hasn't taken a step closer, so I guess she didn't like it, after all, there is no shortage of beautiful beauties in the harem.
She glanced at her, not even nodding.
Wanfu saw Lu Changzai's thoughts, she suspected that she had deliberately designed this drama, and calculated her in order to make Yin Shuangzhai fall out of favor.
Most pregnant women are happy to think a lot, and Lu Changzai is extremely suspicious, why don't she think about it, as long as she is pregnant with a dragon descendant, she really does something, how can the emperor not open the net. What's more, this idea was made by himself, and the emperor wanted to check it, and sooner or later he would find out clearly.
The imperial doctor rushed in, and there were bursts of crying from the inner hall, wailing and tearing her heart, Wanfu couldn't help frowning, if the little princess was just scratched by a wild cat, why would she cry so much.
Others were also puzzled, at this time, the queen also rushed over, Kunning Palace is a little far away from the Ming Se Palace, and it is understandable that it is late to come.
The queen wore an ordinary palace dress, and her sideburns were only obliquely tied with a hosta, which was an outfit that came in a hurry.
The little princess cried in the dormitory, and then a soft and anxious female voice came out, "The emperor forgives the sins, the concubine has exhausted all her methods, and the little princess has not been good for a long time." β
The Emperor's deep voice was mixed with a lighter gentleness, "Show me." β
It is this gentleness, so that the concubines in the outer hall can't help but red-eyed when they hear it, they are so good to be a concubine, and they have a princess, the emperor has never been biased towards men and women, although Shunning is a princess, the degree of food and clothing is the same as that of the prince of Kunning Palace.
Although Jing Concubine followed the emperor when she hit the diving mansion, she is also an old man, but many of them have followed since the diving mansion, and now they are just small nobles.
Everyone was angry, and I don't know when the little princess's crying gradually subsided, only to hear Concubine Jing was emotional, and she actually cried, "I think the little princess misses her father too much, and when the emperor comes, the little princess will be fine......"
With a dragon heir, it is indeed a good means to compete for favor, especially in this harem where there are not many heirs.
The sneer in the queen's eyes quickly faded, and her face was worried.
I saw the emperor come out with a white and tender little girl in his arms, and Concubine Jing followed behind him with red and swollen eyes. The eye-catching concubine immediately echoed: "Look at Princess Shunning, no one can coax it, and the emperor laughed as soon as he came." β
The queen's face was worried, and she also stepped forward, saw the white cloth wrapped around the little princess's arm, opened her lips slightly and exclaimed: "The concubine heard that the wild cat is making trouble again, I don't know if I can catch it this time?" almost harmed Lu Chang's child in the womb and Princess Shunning. β
When the imperial doctor was taking the medicine, the little princess couldn't stop crying, Li Xuanyin was sitting next to her, the scar was shocking, the emperor's eyebrows were lowered, but the little princess didn't seem to feel her father's anger, she smiled and hooked the corners of her clothes, and her chubby little hand boldly touched the emperor's chin, twisting and twisting, and she was very happy.
When the people present saw it, their hearts were sour again, and they became more and more angry about why they were not pregnant with the dragon seed. Ning Guifei was the last, and this situation was like a thorn, piercing deep into her heart, and the more she pricked, the more she scarred, and when she pulled it out, it was dripping with blood. She clutched her handkerchief tightly, and when she saw the scene of the woman next to the emperor sharing her family, she felt that her breath was stagnant and she couldn't breathe.
"Master." Lingshuang saw the master's gloomy and terrifying eyes, his heart was frightened, and he hurriedly called people, if the emperor saw the master's expression, he would definitely feel that the master was jealous and disliked.
Ning Guifei came back to her senses at this time, the corners of her eyes were slightly red, and a teardrop suddenly fell out. She was arrogant by nature, how could she allow others to see her, and she wiped away the tears with a handkerchief.
makes this slut proud, sooner or later she will be pregnant with a dragon heir, so that she is the only one in the emperor's eyes.
Li Xuanyin coaxed the little princess to sleep and handed it over to the nurse. Xu was tired of crying, and the little princess slept very deeply, and she didn't notice that she was going to be hugged by another person.
The little princess was carried out of the outer hall, and the emperor's face was not as gentle as Fang Cai, he looked cold, and quietly swept over the concubines standing in the hall.
For a while, no one in the hall dared to speak anymore, even if they were panting, they had to weigh it carefully, for fear that they would be involved in this matter.
"Chen Dehai."
Chen Dehai's heart was cold, he closed his eyes, and said secretly, here, the emperor still asked him.
"The minions are here."
Li Xuanyin took his hand and looked at him, "If you don't do things effectively, you will be punished with twenty rods." β
Chen Dehai breathed a sigh of relief for a moment, twenty battles were still good, but he was afraid that the emperor would be angry and escort him to the Shen Criminal Division, and when he came out, he would not be able to fade his skin, he trembled and responded, "Yes." β
People who have gone through the incident of Lu Changzai last time understand what the emperor means. That wild cat caused Lu Chang to almost fall into the water, so many people in the palace didn't even catch a wild cat for so long, it was indeed ineffective.
Chen Dehai responded simply, Wanfu listened on the side, gently pursed her lips, and pulled Lu Changzai's sleeve, Lu Changzai was stunned, and before he came back to his senses, he saw the woman next to him walk out and kneel in front of the emperor, "Your Majesty, the slave has something to say." β
Li Xuanyin lowered his eyes, and when he saw the woman who bent down in front of him, the night breeze blew, the blush on her face faded, and it was that obedient look again, he opened his lips, "Say." β
Wanfu said: "Father-in-law Chen had caught the wild cat that day, and it was the slave who was careless and frightened, so that the wild cat ran away." β
Chen Dehai heard this, he was so moved that he almost cried bitterly, it is not easy for them to be slaves, if this matter is clear, the emperor blames Miss Wanfu, and Miss Wanfu will be favored in the future, so he has to hate him, and blow the pillow wind in the emperor, he will have a good life in the future?
If you don't make it clear and put the blame on yourself, you just have been punished by the emperor, if Miss Wanfu has a heart and can remember his love, he will be better off in the future, he has to look at Miss Wanfu with admiration at this time. When he entered the palace, he didn't give the master the blame, but it was the first time someone jumped out to explain to him.
Li Xuanyin lowered her eyes and looked at the woman kneeling in front of her lightly, her eyelashes were lowered, and she knelt on the ground, like a begonia that had been beaten by the rain, which was pitiful.
He pushed his thumb and asked, "What's going on?" β
This sentence was asked by the kneeling person next to him, Chen Dehai was just relieved, because of this glance, he became nervous again, others didn't understand what the emperor meant, how could he not know, he didn't expect that how it was so coincidental that Miss Wanfu met the cat, and so coincidentally the cat rushed towards her, and even more coincidentally, when he clearly didn't think Miss Wanfu was so scared, but the cat just ran away.
He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said, "The slave didn't know it, and the animal suddenly went crazy and pounced. β
The queen stood aside and saw the emperor's eyes clearly, obviously the emperor didn't think that this matter was done by this woman, she looked at the kneeling concubine of the Ningguo Mansion, her eyes were slightly condensed, it seemed that she was indeed underestimated, but in just a few days, she was able to gain the emperor's trust.
"The concubine doesn't think it's this palace maid who is careless." One of the concubines came over and knelt on the ground, it was Xu Cairen, who had just entered the palace last year.
Xu Cairen didn't know if he was afraid, his body kept trembling, he looked at the emperor hesitantly, and then bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, the concubine also has something to say." β
"That day, the concubine happened to walk through the palace road, and saw a black cat rushing towards the palace maid, the palace maid was indeed scared for a moment, but the concubine was sure that the reason why the black cat ran away was because the palace maid deliberately lowered the basket in her hand, and the cat was frightened and jumped to the other side of the palace wall."
At this moment, the imperial physician hurriedly came out of the inner hall and knelt in front of the emperor, "Your Majesty, Weichen just found out that the reason why the little princess was scratched by a black cat was because she touched this dankou made of begonias. β
Chapter 15
"Begonia, what's that?" Concubine Jing tightened her veil and asked softly.
"The master doesn't know that the two most favorite flowers and plants of this cat are nepeta and begonia." The imperial physician presented the Dankou silver box, "If you put begonias in this Dankou, it will release the wild nature of the cat, which will hurt the little princess." β
"But this dankou is a gift from Lu Chang to me......" Concubine Jing suddenly stopped her voice and glanced at the emperor, although she didn't finish speaking, everyone present understood the meaning. They suddenly remembered that after Lu Chang fell into the water, he gave each of them a box of silver boxes of Danko.
Chen Guiren glanced at the red dankou on his nails, only felt unlucky, and rubbed his hands vigorously, "What is Lu Changzai's intention, are you not able to fall into the water alone, and you still want to harm the entire harem!" β
"I didn't mean to." Lu Changzai saw the frightened and disgusted looks of the concubines in the palace, and got up anxiously to explain, Liu He supported her, "The master is pregnant, but be careful, don't move the fetus!" β
This sentence is neither high nor low, but it happens to be heard by the people in the palace, but there is the emperor here, and he doesn't dare to be too presumptuous, Chen Guiren is just annoyed, but he doesn't dare to say a word, and blindly rubs the nails on his hands, which makes him red.
Xu Cairen twisted his eyebrows and thought deeply, as if he thought about it carefully, "After Lu Chang fell into the water, when Imperial Physician He was diagnosing Lu Chang's pulse, did he find begonias?" β
Imperial Physician He really thought about it carefully, and only after thinking about it did he speak, "That day, Wei Chen saw that he was indeed a little red on the master's armor, but the measurement was too small, and Wei Chen was not convinced. β
"I did apply dancΓ΄me at that time, but it was too long, and the day I fell into the water had faded." Lu Chang listened beside him, mentioning himself, for fear of being implicated again, and hurriedly replied.
Xu Cairen seemed to think carefully, "Since Lu Changzai knew that the dankou that released the begonia would attract wild cats, why did he suddenly send a box of dankou to each palace, was it intentional?" β
At this time, everyone's eyes were on Lu Changzai, Lu Changzai was in a hurry, if he was suspected because of this matter, he was really speechless, his eyes looked at the kneeling woman in the hall, and he was about to speak, so he heard her speak: "It's the slave's idea." β
The woman's voice was soft and tough, attracting everyone's attention, and the one who knelt on the ground was just a very humble minion, like an ant on the ground.
Wanfu turned her face slightly and looked at Xu Cairen, "The slave maid wants to ask Xu Cairen, how did you see the wild cat that the slave maid let go that day, the slave maid remembers, Xu Cairen walked not that palace road that day." β
She asked Gonggong Chen again, "Gonggong Chen remembers that Xu Cairen walked the palace road?" β
Gonggong Chen was named at first glance, and saw the emperor's cold eyes, how dare he delay, and immediately thought about it, he walked all the way that day without a blessing, and indeed he had not seen the master, if he said that there was, it was also on a long fork in the road, he answered truthfully.
Wanfu smiled, "In this case, the talented master has good eyesight." β
Xu Cairen's eyes flashed slightly, and he said hurriedly: "You slave is talking about him left and right, and he is clearly interrogating why you want to send dankou to the palaces, but you dare to question the master." I naturally saw it that day, otherwise how dare I deceive the emperor! β
The handkerchief in her hand stirred, and suddenly thought: "Your Majesty, it's better to let the palace people who sent Dankou from Yinshuang Zhai bring it in and interrogate it, they can't stand it, so naturally they will say it." β
Li Xuanyin's eyes swept over the kneeling woman, she still had a calm and usual look, and there was nothing wrong with it. Li Xuanyin turned his eyes and said to Chen Dehai: "Bring someone over." β
Chen Dehai got up and answered, and led a few little eunuchs to lead people.
It wasn't until he came out of the Ming Se Hall that he really breathed a sigh of relief, he was not stupid, he saw that this was Miss Wanfu leading Xu Cairen's nose, and he didn't know what kind of reputation this Miss Wanfu was doing.
After waiting in the main hall for a while, Chen Dehai took Yin Shuangzhai and a group of palace people to the palace, and as soon as he entered the hall, the little palace maid who followed him knelt down in front of the emperor, looking panicked, "The emperor spares his life, the slave and maid are wronged, and the slave and maid just obey the order." β
Wanfu turned her head sideways and saw that the person was the palace maid who used to serve outside the Yinshuang Courtyard, and her name was Ju Qing.
Ju Qing knelt on the ground, her whole body trembled, her face was pale, and she didn't look like she was doing it at all.
The queen looked at the emperor, looked at Ju Qing who was kneeling on the ground, and asked, "Is it the Ming Se Hall that you sent to the Dan Ko mixed with begonias?" β
"No, it's not a slave, the queen ......" Ju Qing was obviously very afraid, and said incomparably, "It's always in the master, often in the master to explain the slave and maid, the danko mixed with begonias can attract wild cats, let the slaves and maids send them to the favored masters and maids, mix some, it's best to ......"
"What's the best?" The queen asked her.
Ju Qing's head touched the ground suddenly, "It's best to catch the broken phase, and no one will compete with the master for favor." β
The concubines present couldn't help but gasp, this Lu Changzai seemed to be cautious, but his methods were so vicious.
"You slave! Fling dirt at somebody! When have I ever told you these words! Even if he was cautious and cowardly like Lu Changzai, he was slandered at this time, and he was trembling with anger, Liu He hurried to help her, and said a few words in his ear, Lu Changzai's eyes moved, and his angry face was still there, but he was not so excited.
Wanfu then knocked heavily on the ground, and her tone was as usual, "Since Ju Qing said that begonias have been added to the dankou in each palace, the slave and maid implore the emperor to hand over the dankou in each palace to the imperial doctor to see if there are other things added as Ju Qing said." β
When Ju Qing heard this, she was dumbfounded, and she even forgot to cry, she was cold, and a thick fear came to her heart.
Even...... She fell in Wanfu's way.
No one could see it, and Concubine Jing, who was standing on the side, looked at the woman on the ground, and her eyes deepened a little.
