The Job of an Imperial Concubine
Chapter 75
Zhuang Luoru was lying on the chaise bed in his palace and was sleepy. Hearing Yun Xi's panicked voice, he opened his eyes and said, "What happened?"
"Mother, the eunuch of the queen's mother came, and said that Ye Guiren is gone, and I would like to ask you to ask something." Yun Xi stepped forward to put on embroidered shoes for Zhuang Luoru, "I heard from the eunuch, the emperor also said In the Queen's Palace."
Ye Guiren is gone, declare her to ask questions?Zhuang Luo's brow furrowed, but the movement didn't stop. He stopped Yun Xi's move to make up her makeup. "Just go."
Yun Xi looked at her pleated pleated skirt with pearls that had been worn several times on her master. Although the cross lily bun was on her head, only a gold-plated butterfly hairpin and gold-inlaid butterfly wings were inserted on it. It seems to be a little more clean.
Walking to the outer hall, Zhuang Luoruo saw that the eunuch, the governor of the Queen's Palace, was still standing, knowing that he was afraid to involve himself again.
"The servant pleased Zhao Xianrong's mother," the eunuch, who saw her simple appearance, knew that she came out in a hurry. "The queen's lady invited Zhaoxian's lady to Jingyang Palace to discuss some small things, and please ask the lady to hurry."
Although the eunuch in charge was polite, Zhuang Luoyan was too lazy to ask him what was going on, and took a rush to Jingyang Palace.
In the Jingyang Palace, the emperor and the queen sat side by side. The queen had been consciously and unintentionally observing the emperor's expression, only to find that the expression on the emperor's face was as calm as before, not even asking for Zhao Xianrong.
Somehow, the queen inexplicably sympathized with Zhao Xianrong, and there were many women whom the emperor had loved. Zhuangluo Rouge was not the first nor the last.So this time the emperor will not worry about her, nor will she worry about her.
"Zhao Xian allowed."
The queen looked up and saw that Zhuangluo Rouge's makeup looked light and hurried into the house. Her panicked footsteps didn't seem to think that something would happen.
"The concubine has seen the emperor, the empress queen." Zhuang Luoyan came forward to salute the two, although it was not clear what was going on, but from the serious expression of the eunuch in charge, it can be seen that today's affairs are not simple .
"Ask the queen, I listened to it," Feng Jin closed his eyes and closed his eyes to raise his mind.
After the queen looked at Feng Jin, she turned to Zhuang Luoyan, pointing to the tray in the hand of the eunuch, "Zhao Xianrong, do you know this thing?"
Zhuang Luoru looked at the tray and saw a crumpled cloth with a peacock tail painted on it, which looked like the tail of her peacock paper kite running away from Tianma, but looked a little more. , I feel that some places are a little different.
No one would recognize what she drew, so she knew at a glance that it was drawn after her paper kite, "Return to the Queen Mother, this seems to be the tail of a peacock."
"It's just the tail of the peacock figure. This palace looks at this picture is very similar to your style. When Ye Guiren was found, it was this piece of cloth hidden in her shirt. Why did you say this?" The queen drank A sip of tea, waiting for Zhuang Luoru to explain.
"Hui Niangniang, although this picture is similar to the pattern of the paper kite that the concubine placed a few days ago, but later the paper kite was released by the concubine. The concubine did not know where the paper kite fell, and the painting on this cloth silk It wasn’t painted by the concubine.” Zhuang Luoyan was a little inexplicable. With just a piece of cloth, she could buckle the shit pot on her head.
The queen looked at Zhuang Luoyan, did not justify it, waved her hand, and saw that a court lady was brought in. Zhuang Luorong looked away, and it seemed that Ye Guiren often took one of the court ladies around.
"Sister-in-law Bitan visited the emperor, the empress queen, and the empress Zhaoxianrong."
"You don't have to be obsessed with hypocrisy at this time, you have been waiting by Ye Guiren to talk about what happened before Ye Gui's life." The queen took a sip of tea, and the tone was calm as if not talking about a dead person, but eating. .
"Returning to the Queen Mother, the slave-servant picked up a paper kite in the yard a few days ago, and could not figure out who it was. The master said later that the one who could put the paper kite in the palace must be the master, so the slave-servant was put away. Yesterday, the eunuch in Zhaoxianrong’s maiden’s palace came to see if he saw a peacock paper kite, and the master let the minions fetch it. Who knows that the paper kite was actually bitten out of several holes in the palace, and even the tail fell off. The slaves in Xianrong’s maiden’s palace didn’t look well. After a few words of yin and yang, they left without asking for a paper kite.” Bitan's eyes turned red, and he bowed his head to the queen. It’s gone, please beg the lady to investigate the murderer and return the lady to be fair."
After listening to this remark, Zhuang Luoru immediately said: "The Queen's Mother and Daughter, the concubine didn't tell anyone to find a paper kite yesterday, not to mention... not to mention the paper kite flew away, why should the concubine go again. Even the concubine If you want to find it, why don’t you ask which palace, but go to Jingqiu Pavilion?"
"Xianrong did not hate my master's son for causing you to have no children? Or why our Jingqiu Pavilion was deducted from the food bureau even for eating. Madam, you didn't come to find the paper kite, but you just wanted to make the master ugly." Bi Tan looked bitterly at Zhuang Luoyan, "If it wasn't for Master who wanted to make up the paper kite last night, how could he be inexplicably murdered? If this matter had nothing to do with your mother, why did Master have to hide this piece of cloth?"
Zhuang Luoru has done public relations and naturally has some knowledge in observing people's faces. The hatred of the court girl named Bitan is not a fake. So who is the slave who went to Jingqiu Pavilion yesterday?
Zhuangluo roared a pale face at the right time, "Although this palace hates Ye Yeren for causing miscarriage in this palace, but it can't do this bold and courageous thing, and ask the empress and empress to see.
"You have your own opinions on this matter, and the palace is not easy to decide," the Queen looked at Zhuang Luoyan. "You have suspicions on this matter. If it has nothing to do with you, you must also give a convincing reason."
Zhuang Luoru looked at the fake emperor, he seemed hesitant, and finally shook his head. "The painting was not made by the concubine. Yesterday, the concubine did not send someone to find the paper kite. Someone wanted to frame the concubine!"
The queen was about to say that even if she was framed, she still had to find evidence. At this time the emperor, who had been sleeping, spoke.
"Since Zhaoxianrong was said to be framed, this maid also said that the eunuch in Zhaoxianrong's palace went to ask," Feng Jin forefinger tapped on the table, "Pull all the eunuchs of Xihe Palace to the outside yard, let this The maid would know it if she recognized it.
Since the emperor said this, no one dared to hesitate at the moment, and soon the eunuch Tongtong of Xihe Palace was pulled into the garden of Jingyang Palace for Bitan to identify.
Bitan watched it carefully several times, and did not find the two eunuchs at that time. Finally, he had no choice but to say that those two eunuchs were not among these people.
"Is it true that someone has framed Zhao Xianrong?" The queen looked surprised.
"Ma'am, even if there is not here, but Zhao Xian Rong dares not to let other eunuchs do it?" The Emperor and Empress of Bitan slammed their heads heavily, even their foreheads were knocked out, "Zhao Xian Rong has always been favored by the emperor The harem didn’t know how many slaves wanted to please Zhao Xianrong. The slave-maid couldn’t figure out who else would ask for a paper kite. If Zhao Xian did not harm my master, why would my master hide a piece of paper iris before he died?”
"Concubine Shu, Concubine Xian, Concubine Ning."
Feng Jin heard the eunuch's report and opened his eyes to the queen. "Why are they here?"
"Returning to the emperor, the concubine thought that the three of them were also involved in assisting the palace affairs. This matter was significant, and many people also had many ideas." The queen smiled.
Feng Jin no longer spoke, and saw the three women coming in, only to avoid their courtesy, and then continued to watch what was happening in silence.
"Ma'am, this matter is of great importance, and it is unclear for a moment, why don't you investigate it slowly?" Concubine Xian said, "We can't let Zhao Xianrong take the blame for the murderer, or let Ye Guiren go to nothing. "
"Emperor, Princess Xian also makes sense, you see..." The queen looked at the emperor, waiting for his position.
"I have already said that it is up to you to deal with the queen at this time," Feng Jin looked at the queen, and then Zhuangluo, who was standing in the middle of the house with a white complexion. "But it must be thoroughly investigated."
The queen blessed the emperor, "Zhao Xianrong cannot fully prove that he has nothing to do with this matter, and this matter does not indicate that it is related to Zhao Xianrong, so before the matter is clear, Zhao Xianrong does not have to wait for the emperor for the time being. After the matter is clear, you will serve the emperor with all your heart. After all, your heart will not serve your emperor." The queen finished, and looked at the other Shu, Xian, and Ning. "What do you think?"
"Since the Queen Mother said so, the concubine naturally has no opinion," Shu Guifei looked at Zhuang Luoyan. "Zhao Xianrong's face has not been very good after he was injured by Ye Guiren, and his face has not been very good. It is better to rest a lot."
Why emphasize that Ye Guiren has caused her miscarriage?Zhuangluo roared her head, and said that she hated Ye Guiren, so did she harm her?
Feng Jin looked at the queen and three other concubines in silence, then turned her attention to Zhuang Luoyan, and finally landed on the slightly red and swollen hands.
"Zhao Xianrong rests and rests a lot, and I feel distressed when I look at you," Feng Jin stood up. "I'm back to the palace. You must check the queen clearly and carefully."
The queen giggled and looked at the emperor's back. What does the emperor mean?
Out of the Jingyang Palace, Zhuang Luoru sat on the pace and looked up at the blue sky. Who wanted to frame her? Does this person think she rarely did the kite she flew with the emperor? Out?
Unfortunately, this person must not know what the emperor said when the paper kite thread was cut at that time. As she secretly likes the emperor, she naturally wants Tianma and peacock to be free together. How can she pick it up deliberately?
When the emperor was present, she was not able to say what the emperor said that day, so she never mentioned it.But what does the emperor's silence mean?She did not believe that the emperor could not remember what happened that day, so what did the emperor's silence mean?
"Ma'am, you don't have to worry. The emperor still comforted you when he left. He must believe you." Yun Xi saw Zhuangluo roaring his head without saying a word, he had no choice but to speak comfort.
"I know," Zhuang Luoyan sighed. "It's just that Ye Guiren was framed on my head by someone who was interested. The Queen Mother wouldn't know what to think about it."
Unconsciously looking at the green tile and red wall beside the road, who wants to frame her?
From the Taolin incident in the Taoyu Pavilion, the lotus pond incident, and now the Ye Guiren incident, people have framed her one by one. Who in the harem hates her so much?
