Chapter 211: Trying the Truth
The little eunuch was speechless for a while, he could think of how desperate Concubine Mei would be when he went back to tell Concubine Mei the news, but Concubine Mei pinned all her hopes on the queen's mother.
Meng Tang asked, "Who is Concubine Mei?" ”
The little eunuch came back to his senses and hurriedly said, "Niangniang, do you remember the woman who assassinated you last night?" Concubine Mei is her sister, who was beaten into the cold palace by His Majesty half a year ago. ”
Meng Tang was interested, she closed the book, and said, "So, this palace promised her to help her out of the cold palace?" ”
"That's what Concubine Mei said, that's why the slave risked death to deliver the letter to you."
Meng Tang got up and said, "Take this palace to see her." ”
"Yes, sissy."
In Anning Hall, two guards were guarding outside, and when they saw the little eunuch and the queen coming one after another, they hurriedly knelt down and saluted.
"Minions, see the queen mother."
Meng Tang said: "Open the door, the palace has to go in and take a look." ”
She hadn't seen the cold palace yet, and she was even more curious about Concubine Mei, if she really agreed to her, she would probably owe her a lot of favors.
The guards glanced at each other and said, "Niangniang, it's dirty inside, please stop it, Your Majesty has ordered, you still don't enter this unbearable place, so as not to stain your noble phoenix body." ”
This made her a little dislike to hear, what kind of noble phoenix body, she asked: "Chu Yi won't let me in?" ”
"Yes, please stop."
"But am I not the queen? Is there anything in this harem that I can't go? Meng Tang raised his eyebrows and asked.
The guards bowed their heads respectfully.
Meng Tang was resolute, she said, "Get out of the way." ”
The two of them knelt on the ground with a thud and said, "Please don't embarrass the slave." ”
Chu Yi said that she is his wife, and since she is a wife, she is an equal existence, and this harem can naturally go anywhere, otherwise she doesn't even have this freedom, what kind of wife can she be?
Meng Tang crossed the two of them and reached out to push the door of Anning Hall.
"I'm going to watch it today."
One of the guards, glancing at the other, quickly got up and went to ask His Majesty.
Meng Tang didn't care about others and pushed open the door of Anning Hall.
In the courtyard sat many crazy women, embarrassed and emaciated.
Some people sat on the ground and cried madly, some people were pulling lice from their hair, and some people were lying on the ground and learning to bark dogs......
The whole scene was messy and dirty.
In this group of people, there is a woman wearing a moon-white cloth dress and a simple wooden hairpin, she is standing in front of the clothesline to dry clothes, it is Concubine Mei, she is the only one in this group who is clean and tidy.
The little eunuch walked in and shouted, "Concubine Mei, look who is here?" ”
Concubine Mei turned around and saw her, and her face immediately showed joy.
She put down the basin in her hand, hurriedly walked over, wiped the water stains on her hand, and said excitedly: "Queen Mother, have you come to save me?" ”
"You promised me, Concubine Xiao's previous abnormalities in the cold palace, as long as I don't know what to do, you will let me out."
Concubine Xiao.
Meng Tang extracted the key words from her words.
She didn't show anything unusual, and said without a trace: "This palace came to see you today, and I saw that you were doing well." ”
Concubine Mei immediately made a bitter face and said: "I support the concubine with the belief that I can go out, the queen mother, the queen mother, you must help me!" You're going to help me, aren't you? ”
She looked at her with a look of hope.
Meng Tang lowered his voice and said, "Now that the matter is over, even if the palace crosses the river and demolishes the bridge, what can you do to me?" ”
Concubine Mei was stunned when she heard this voice.
She hurriedly shook her head, pulled Meng Tang's sleeve, and said, "Queen Mother, how can you be like this?" You promised your concubines, you promised your concubines! Without the cooperation of the concubines, how could Concubine Xiao's abnormalities be hidden from others? ”
"Now that Concubine Xiao and your father and brother have fled to Shuobei safely, they are safe, but you can't forget your concubine!"
"Besides, the concubine knows that you are not that kind of person, you are the queen, the most virtuous and respectful, no one in the palace is praised, with your character, you will not break your promise, right?" That's right, she said it very carefully.
Grabbing her sleeve hand, it gradually tightened, she was really afraid, afraid that the queen would really cross the river and tear down the bridge.
Meng Tang said a few words and extracted information from her words.
The escape of her father and brother and Concubine Xiao was planned by her.
Chu Yi said before that his father and brother didn't want her anymore, abandoned her, regarded her as an abandoned son, and fled to Shuobei, since his father and brother were such cold-blooded and ruthless people, how could he help them like this? Cheap.
Meng Tang's eyes were slightly gloomy, and he was about to speak, and continued to talk.
"Tang'er."
Chu Yi's deep voice came from behind him.
When Concubine Mei heard this voice, she quickly let go of her hand and knelt on the ground tremblingly.
Meng Tang turned his head.
Chu Yi frowned and said with disgust: "What is it to come to this kind of place." ”
Meng Tang said: "I haven't seen the cold palace, come here and have a long experience." ”
"What is there to see in the cold palace? It's dirty and smelly, and it's full of crazy people, can you believe what crazy people say? As the words fell, his gaze swept to Concubine Mei who was kneeling on the ground.
Meng Tang said lightly: "It's not all crazy, Concubine Mei's sister and concubine are very sensible and sober when they look at it, and they can stay in this kind of place for many years without being driven crazy, and they are also characters." ”
Chu Yi grabbed her little hand and said, "Okay, don't stay here, the yin qi is too heavy, and your body can't stand the cold." ”
Meng Tang's hand struggled, she seemed to be suspicious of Chu Yi at the moment, she said: "Your Majesty, Concubine Mei's sister is very close to my eyes, the concubine likes to talk to her, if you let her out, the concubine can have a companion when she is bored, how about it?" ”
Chu Yi raised her eyebrows, she said: "You asked me to let Yanhong enter the palace to accompany you yesterday, I agreed, and today I let you let this Concubine Mei, you may not remember, do you know why this Concubine Mei entered the cold palace?" ”
"The concubine doesn't know."
Chu Yi's face was not red and his heart was not beating, and he glanced at Concubine Mei, "She fed you a child-avoiding medicine." ”
Concubine Mei: "? ”
Meng Tang looked at him in surprise.
"This poisonous woman is really bad, she is already gracious to her by sending her to the cold palace and leaving her alive, and she still wants to come up with this peace hall? Tang'er, you don't have to be so kind-hearted, you don't know that you were deceived. ”
Meng Tang looked at Concubine Mei who was kneeling, and she asked, "Really?" ”
Concubine Mei lay on the ground and was silent.
Chu Yiwu's heavy eyes forced her to look at her, "The queen is asking you." ”
Concubine Mei stammered: "Dang, seriously, it is the concubine who is shameless, and the concubine is vicious, and she has harmed the queen's mother......"
Meng Tang's eyebrows furrowed slightly.
"Okay, no matter what she says, don't believe it, Tang'er, everyone in this harem has a hundred and eighty hearts, if you believe the words of others, you will be fooled, and you won't know how to die."
Chu Yi took her by the hand and left Anning Hall, and he said again: "Don't come here in the future, it's dirty and messy, and your shoes and socks are dirty." ”
