Cold Palace’s Abandoned Consort

The father-in-law took a look at me and bowed his head: "Talent, let's go there first, Jingren Palace is still waiting."

I was silent, looked at the little eunuchs behind him who looked numb, and looked at his expression again. My heart suddenly became clear—Xu Youling just died, and called me to Jingren Palace in the middle of the night for questioning. It will be to ask me how to bring children.

So I slowly stood up and asked Shui Xiu to get dressed and ready to go out. The father-in-law said, "Shui Xiu will also go by."

Shui Xiu immediately hesitated when he heard this. At this time, Wu Yan and they had arrived at the door. They were shocked when they heard this sentence and said, "What's the matter, talented person—"

I looked back at Shui Xiu and said lightly, "Since I called you, let's go."

"Yes, talent."

Shui Xiu was frightened. He followed me honestly. When I walked to the gate, a cold wind blew. I narrowed my neck, and turned to tell them to carry the sedan chair. Said: "Talent, let's go over."

I understood what he meant, and smiled slightly: "My father, my health is not good at all. I walked in such a cold wind in the middle of the night, and I was sick when I came to Jingren Palace, and it made me look bad."

The father-in-law took a look at me, sighed, and turned around and ordered the sedan to come over.

I sat on the sedan chair and walked towards Jingren Palace all the way. The sedan chair shook all the way, and my heart was a little uneasy. At this time, I heard the father-in-law whispering outside, "Xu Jiechi, only then People passed and spoke carefully for a while. "

Sure enough ...

I bit my lower lip and said softly, "Thank you Father Jade."

Soon after arriving at Jingren Palace, the sky was dark, but the lights were bright here. Just when the car curtain was opened, I heard the cries coming from the night. I frowned, and Shui Xiu hurried to help As she looked at me, her face became paler and her hands were sloppy. I glanced at her and said nothing, and went straight in.

After turning around a few corridors, I went to the place where Xu Jiechi lived. The maid of law and the **** kneeled outside and wept for a while. When I saw me coming in, the cry was lower, a few Looking at me, my face was full of tears, but my eyes were good-looking.

I slowly walked in.

As soon as I entered the house, I saw that the lights were bright inside. Pei Yuanzhang and Chang Qing were sitting directly above. The other concubines were almost all present, sitting on the left and right sides. Eyes, and a layer of veil has been lowered on the other side of the inner room, looking at the big bed indistinctly, Xu Youling lying quietly.

There was a strong smell of blood in the air, so heavy, as if it had just been soaked with blood.

I'm no stranger to this taste, buried deep in my heart.

Thinking of this, I looked up at him again, his face was very pale, almost transparent in the candlelight, no expression on his face, even the temperature, when sitting there like a statue, can not see the mood.

I slowly walked over and kneeled down at him: "Meet the emperor, meet the queen."

Chang Qing nodded: "Get up."

I stood up and said, "I don't know what the Emperor is calling here late at night."

He didn't say anything, and Lu Shuyi next to him said coldly: "Yo, Yue Cairen, how did you follow Xu Jiechi at the beginning, now that something is wrong, would you come over and see if it's wrong?

I glanced at her lightly: "Lu Shuyi, did I just ask you that sentence? Still don't know when it will begin, Shu Yi can already speak for the emperor?"

"Uh--"

She froze, hurriedly got up and knelt down toward Pei Yuanzhang: "Emperor, Chen Xun just didn't mean that."

"... Get up."

His voice was a little hoarse, as if he hadn't spoken for a long time, and when he spoke, it felt like the blade had worn through the gravel. After saying this, he slowly raised his head and looked at me.

I also looked at him indifferently.

After a while, he slowly said, "Do you know about Xu Jiechi?"

"I heard that in the evening."

"Then why do you know Xu Jiechi died?"

"Chen Ye's eyes didn't reach Jingren Palace, I don't know."

There were still people crying in the room and some people were talking outside, but when we both spoke, the sound of breathing was gone. All of them looked at me with a look of astonishment. Chang Qing sat aside, He looked at me and looked at him again, and his willow-like eyebrows narrowed slightly.

Shen Rou, sitting at her lower hand, wiped her red eyes with silk, and did not look at us.

Pei Yuanzhang looked at me for a while, waved his hand, and Buckle immediately came up, holding a plate in his hand, and a sachet on it. I frowned slightly, and then heard him say, "Recognize it."

As soon as the sachet was delivered, a strong medicinal scent came out-myrrh, frankincense, lingzhi ...

My heart sank a bit, and I already felt something.

"You know what this is."

"The medicine pouch."

"What is the use?"

"Induced birth, blood circulation."

"What if a pregnant woman smells during delivery?"

"..."

My throat choked for a while and I couldn't answer. If these drugs are smelled by ordinary people, they just feel that the essence and blood are comfortable, but if such heavy drugs are used in pregnant women who are giving birth-it is no wonder that the **** smell in this room is soaked with blood.

He turned his head subconsciously and looked inside, across the veil, faintly seeing the pale face on the bed.

At this time, Pei Yuanzhang's indifferent low voice sounded in his ears--

"Is this medicine pouch yours?"

I turned my head and shook my head slightly without changing my face: "No."

As soon as the words fell, I heard a few sighs from the next concubine, and Pei Yuanzhang said, "Ask who is this girl next to you."

I frowned as soon as I heard it, and the next Shui Xiu had frightened her legs at this time. She almost knelt down and hurriedly shook her head: "I don't know, I haven't seen any of them!"

Pei Yuanzhang didn't speak, and Chang Qing, sitting next to him, winked at him. Immediately, two little eunuchs came up with one person, and looked at Yu Wen beside Xu Youling. She came up to the crowd. After the ceremony, the queen said, "What you just said to the emperor, now say it again."

Yuwen's eyes were red, and her voice was choked, and she said, "This medicine pouch was seen by the slave at the bottom of the bed when she packed it up today. Because Jie Yun was pregnant, she had to boil the medicine every day, so the smell of the medicine was not there. It is noticed that these days, because of the jealousy of Gu Jie's body, your mothers and daughters also rarely come to Jingren Palace. Only on the night of the fifth day of last month, someone saw the Shuixiu of Fangcaotang secretly entered us and secretly went out again. . "

When Suixiu heard it, she was pale and suddenly fell on her knees: "No slave, this is not slave!"

"It's not who you are, you dare to say that you didn't sneak in that day!"

"I ... I ..." Shui Xiu stammered, and looked at me again, and I said calmly, "What did you do in here, honestly it is. Remember what you said, only be a good person to be practical . "

Shuixiu gritted his teeth and simply said, "Slaves slipped in that night, but Slaves didn't put this sachet, Slaves just-just put a few mice in Yuwen's house to scare her."

"Rat?" Chang Qing frowned, immediately thinking: "That day?"

"Yes."

"Why are you doing this?"

Shui Xiu glanced at me again, and his eyes became red again, and said, "Yuwen went to Fangcaotang that day and said that Xu Jiechi was promoted to Jie Jie. He rewarded talents, and he was so popular that he did not eat. There is gas, so just— "

Before she finished speaking, Pei Yuanzhang blinked in her eyes and slowly looked at me.

At this time, Zhu Fanghua beside him said coldly: "Sisters promotion, isn't it a happy thing? Yue Cairen was actually angry about this ..."

"What's wrong with this anger?"

"Her child ..."

The people around me talked in a low voice. I stood in the center of the room and just listened quietly. A soft voice quietly said, "Even so, it doesn't prove that you didn't put this medicine pouch."

When I turned my head, I saw Shen Rou twitching his lips, and said lightly: "Since I can sneak in, what else can I do? You admit to letting the rat go, but I want everyone to think you are just giving you The family is talented, but what if your family is talented? "

I frowned, and slowly looked at Pei Yuanzhang.

In the palace, it is not terrible to say ten false words. The most terrible thing is that there is a false word sandwiched between the ten true words. Then the false has become true. Of course he has been in the palace for so many years. His face was still calm without a trace of motion, just sitting there lightly.

I thought about it and said, "May I see Chen Yao again?"

He didn't say anything, only winked, and Kouer presented the medicine pouch again. I took it and looked it over carefully. The brocade was a tribute, and each of the palaces was divided, and the workmanship was not bad. Koukou also had a conversation.

I looked for a while and looked up and said, "This medicine pouch is not from Fangcaotang."

"Oh?"

"The people around Chen Ye, Shui Xiu, Xiao Yu, and Wu Yan are all from Xiangxi, and they are all studying embroidery in Hunan. This can be checked from the needlework they usually do; and the needles and needles used for sealing The stitches are wrong. This is the stitching method of Su Xiu, called 'wrong to the end.' "

I looked up at him gently, and said, "Chin-chan won't."

"What did you learn?"

"Chen Ye is a Shuzhong person, and he is learning Shu embroidery."

Hearing this sentence, he stood up, slowly walked in front of me, took the medicine pouch in my hand, stretched out one hand, and suddenly pulled off a sachet from my waist—that was Once, he saw me embroidering freely.

The two pouches were in his hands, and I faced him indifferently, but he didn't look at the sachet, just looked at me.

At this time, Shen Rou leisurely said, "Will it be, will it be a sentence? Someone hides deeply and doesn't take it out for a lifetime, isn't this a headless case?"

"Someone hid deeply." As soon as Pei Yuanzhang heard this sentence, his eyes sank.
