Chapter 233: Corpse
Duchess Qiao Guo thought that this might also be a way, since Xu Lianyi didn't agree to let it go, she could only use this one way.
Qiao Yindi knew that her position in the palace was not as stable as Xu Lianyi, and she had nothing to rely on behind her, so she thought of Qiao Guogong's mansion, and this time she could be regarded as using Qiao Jingyuan's affairs to help her pave the way.
Duchess Qiao Guo naturally knew that Qiao Yindi could not help Qiao Jingyuan for no reason, and looked at Qiao Yindi's appearance at this moment and said: "Niangniang, if you can save Qiao Jingyuan this time, our Qiao Guogong Mansion is your other home." ’
This is to give Qiao Yindi a guarantee.
Qiao Yindi immediately smiled and pointed to the heavens: "You said, the emperor is the son of heaven, if there is any order from heaven, will the emperor dare to disobey?"
"Naturally, I don't dare, but this heaven is all fake, how can I give an order to the emperor?" said Duchess Qiao Guo with some doubts, not very understanding what Qiao Yindi meant.
Qiao Yindi smiled and said: "God can't speak, but people can't speak, after you go back, let people look around for some auspicious signs, implying that Qiao Jingyuan is blessed to our dynasty, and the emperor will naturally no longer lock Qiao Jingyuan in the cold palace." ”
Where did Mrs. Qiao Guogong come up with this method, when she heard Qiao Yindi say this, she immediately felt that the willows and flowers were bright and another village, and now Qiao Jingyuan was saved, although the auspicious omen is not easy to find, but with Qiao Guogong's ability, this little thing is still not a problem.
"Thank you for your clever plan this time, Qiao Guogong will be your home in the future, if you have any instructions, it will be. Duchess Qiao Guo said with a smile, as long as Qiao Jingyuan can be rescued, they can do anything.
What Qiao Yindi wants is this sentence, as long as Qiao Guogong's Mansion can become his backer in the future, he finally has a little capital that can compete with Xu Lianyi. In the future, there is no need to always deliberately please Mu Yunting, it seems that without Mu Yunting's protection, she will be nothing.
Although a Qiao Guogong Mansion is nothing now, but the road is not yet walked out by people, as long as this step is taken, Qiao Yindi believes that she will be able to stabilize her position in the harem.
"During this time in the Cold Palace, I will often go to see Qiao Jingyuan. Qiao Yindi said with a smile, "I won't let her suffer too much." ”
The two of them had planned very well, and everything was going in a good direction, but Qiao Yindi found Ruan Xiaohong in the dark.
Coincidentally, this Ruan Xiaohong just happened to pass by, but he didn't expect to hear what Qiao Yindi and Qiao Guoduchess planned, and he was a little surprised for a while, forgetting to cover himself, and was discovered by Qiao Yindi again.
"Stop!" Qiao Yindi said sharply.
Ruan Xiaohong was suddenly discovered, and he didn't know what to do, so he was caught by Duchess Qiao Guo for this hesitation. Qiao Yindi frowned, she didn't expect to kill such a Cheng Biting Gold halfway.
"It looks like she can't stay. Qiao Yindi said fiercely, and then made a killing gesture to Duchess Qiao Guo.
Ruan Xiaohong was scared and wanted to struggle, but was knocked unconscious by Duchess Qiao Guo, and Qiao Yindi helped to hold him. After that, the two of them threw Ruan Xiaohong into a deep well when there was no one around.
"It's come to this point, we can be regarded as grasshoppers tied to a rope, and the corpse can only be like this now, even if it is discovered, it has nothing to do with you and me. Qiao Yindi said lightly.
Although Duchess Qiao Guo felt scared, she could only do this for the sake of her daughter. Then the two separated, and Qiao Yindi was close to giving birth, so she stayed in her palace and did not go out.
Ruan Xiaohong's disappearance was quickly known by Xu Lianyi, and immediately sent someone to look for it, originally thought that Ruan Xiaohong was running around, but he didn't expect to find anyone for three days.
"The palace is so big, can't we find anyone?" Xu Lianyi said a little angrily, but she also knew in her heart that if she didn't find it for three days, maybe Ruan Xiaohong had been killed.
Mu Lanji has been staying by Xu Lianyi's side, and when she heard Xu Lianyi say this, she said meaningfully: "It seems that she can't come back." ”
"But who do you say did it?" Xu Lianyi asked suspiciously, she naturally understood what Mu Lan meant, but who would have the intention to harm Ruan Xiaohong?
"Niangniang, Ruan Xiaohong's body has been found!" At this time, a little eunuch suddenly came to report.
It's a corpse, not a person.
Ruan Xiaohong's body soaked in the well for three days before it was found.
Xu Lianyi was furious and immediately ordered: "We must investigate this matter strictly and see who is so bold that they dare to commit murder in the harem!"
"Okay, don't be angry yet, I'll follow and see what's going on. Mu Lanyi said to Xu Lianyi, obviously, compared to Xu Lianyi, she would not give up.
Soon, someone found Qiao Yindi's jade pendant in the well, and told Xu Lianyi about it.
After Mu Yunting learned about this, he immediately went to Qiao Yindi's bedroom.
"Your Majesty, why are you here at this time?" Qiao Yindi greeted him with a smile, wanting to hold Mu Yunting's hand, but she didn't expect to be dodged by Mu Yunting, "You are ......"
Qiao Yindi is naturally clear about the things about Ruan Xiaohong that are rumored outside, and she will naturally pay more attention to it, but at this moment, she pretended not to know in front of Mu Yunting.
Mu Yunting looked at Qiao Yindi's innocent look and asked, "Do you know that Ruan Xiaohong was found in the well today, and your jade pendant was fished out inside!"
"How is this possible, the concubine is about to give birth, naturally she stayed in the palace obediently and never went out, how could she know these things, not to mention that the concubine's jade pendant has long been gone, why did the concubine appear with Ruan Xiaohong, I don't know. Qiao Yindi said very innocently.
She didn't expect that she would leave this jade pendant in the well, she knew that she should have been careful at that time, and now she has caused such a * annoyance. Mu Yunting looks so angry, Qiao Yindi is really rare, once Mu Yunting finds out the truth, I'm afraid she won't have a good life to live.
Mu Yunting didn't expect that Qiao Yindi would still lie to herself like this now, that jade pendant was clearly still here with Qiao Yindi three days ago, but when Ruan Xiaohong disappeared, the jade pendant was gone? He wanted to ask something more, but he didn't expect Qiao Yindi to suddenly be in pain, as if she was about to give birth.
"Your Majesty, Niangniang is about to give birth!" Cui'er hurriedly said.
The rest of the little palace maids also hurriedly called the midwife who had prepared early, and Mu Yunting knew that there was no way to confront Qiao Yindi at this moment, so she had to come out first and go to Xu Lianyi's bedroom.
"Maybe this matter is related to Qiao Yindi, the jade pendant found in the well is hers, I saw it three days ago, but she said that she lost it early. Mu Yunting said slowly, "It's just that now that she is giving birth, some things are not easy to pursue." ”
Xu Lianyi was already very angry about Qiao Yindi, didn't she really think that she could cover the sky with one hand, and even dared to kill people in this harem, but since Qiao Yindi was giving birth now, then they couldn't say anything.
"Or did I indulge Qiao Yindi too much before, but I didn't expect her to dare to be so bold now, isn't it true that she doesn't take me seriously?" Mu Yunting said helplessly, knowing this, I should have let Xu Lianyi discipline Qiao Yindi well.
Xu Lianyi gently patted Mu Yunting's shoulder and said, "It's no wonder that you are in this matter, some people still have the same temperament no matter how they discipline her, but you can't indulge her in the future, otherwise it's Ruan Xiaohong today, and tomorrow it's me!"
"No, I won't let anyone hurt you. Mu Yunting immediately said, his tone was very resolute,
But no matter what, it is impossible to punish Qiao Yindi for Ruan Xiaohong's matter now. Xu Lianyi narrowed her eyes, but she couldn't let Ruan Xiaohong die in vain, and she wouldn't let Qiao Yindi suffer a little punishment, right?
In fact, Qiao Yindi also calculated that she would give birth in a few days, so she dared to be so bold in doing things, she knew that Mu Yunting had her in her heart, and she couldn't let her son be born without his mother by his side. And Ruan Xiaohong always provokes discord between her and Xu Lianyi on weekdays, Xu Lianyi can't force Ruan Xiaohong to stand up, right?
"It's born, it's born! it's a prince!" the midwife said with a smile, Qiao Yindi heard a smile on the corner of her mouth, now that she even has a shield, what are she afraid of?
"Cui'er, come here. Qiao Yindi called to Cui'er softly. "You go and tell the emperor, I know that I am guilty, and now that the prince has been born, I ask the emperor to give him death. ”
"What! Niangniang, you-" Cui'er said in disbelief, Qiao Yindi didn't she kill herself!
Qiao Yindi smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll be fine." ”
This trick is a good strategy to retreat into Qiao Yindi, if she doesn't say a word, maybe Mu Yunting will have to bring up this matter like her in the future, then it is better for her to admit her mistake first, with Mu Yunting's thoughts, she will definitely not really let her die, and this catastrophe will be regarded as over.
The appearance of this prince is really timely.
"Your Majesty, Niangniang asked the slave to send you a message. After seeing Mu Yunting, Cui'er repeated Qiao Yindi's words, and then begged bitterly, "Your Majesty, the mother is right! The little prince has just been born, and he can't be born without his mother." Please also ask the emperor to spare the mother. ”
"That's what she said later?" Mu Yunting asked.
"No, it's the slave's own will, and I ask the emperor to forgive me. Cui'er said, pleading with words.
Xu Lianyi naturally knew what Qiao Yindi meant, and said with a sneer: "You know that you don't have to intercede for your master, it's okay for her, why bother." ”
