Weiyang Palace.
After careful inspection, the imperial doctor told Pei Mochen that Queen Pei Mochen was just frightened and that her health was not serious. After hearing the news, Pei Mochen slowly felt relieved, and then solemnly told Yu Yin to take good care of the queen, and then went to Yangxin Hall again to handle matters.
After Pei Mochen left, the queen's eyes slowly opened.
"Your Majesty." Yu Yin, who was standing by, saw this scene and hurriedly came over, then carefully helped the queen sit up: "Do you feel any discomfort in your body?"
"Nothing, everything is fine in this palace!" The queen sat up and leaned on the bedside, her expression no longer panicked, and she looked extremely calm.
"Your Majesty, the Jin family has been deprived of the right to co-manage the Sixth Palace, and is also banned in Qimeng Palace. Without the emperor's permission, she can no longer do whatever she wants!" Yu Yinwei waited for the queen. In response, he was the first to report it, his face full of joy.
After hearing this, the queen was not so happy. She said helplessly: "The Jin family has the Jin family to rely on, and this is the only way it can be done now!" If there is no Jin family, Back it up, just because of her crime of murdering the queen's unborn child, even if she doesn't die, she will definitely be relegated to the cold palace.
"However, we don't need to worry. My father mentioned in a letter a few days ago that the Jin family is very arrogant and domineering at the border. The emperor must have known about it for a long time."
" The emperor has long been dissatisfied with the Jin family, and it is only a matter of time before the Jin family is eradicated!"
In the Qimeng Palace, the main hall was in chaos at this time.
"Get out! Get out of here all of them!" Jin roared angrily. Suddenly, a vase was thrown to the ground, and the sound of breaking apart was heard instantly. Seeing this, Bo Ling had no choice but to Exited the door.
At this moment, Jin sat angrily on the bed, her chest rising and falling with anger.
"What a Yun Jinwei, how dare you frame me!"
"I will definitely let you die!" As he said this, Jin's eyes burst out with fierceness. of light.
"Bo Ling!" Jin suddenly shouted loudly.
Bai Ling, who had been waiting outside the door, heard the call and quickly walked into the house: "Mother, my servant is here!"
"Go get the pen and ink!"
"Yes!"
Soon, Boling placed the pen and ink on the table. Jin walked over, lowered her head and quickly wrote a letter. She carefully folded the letter and handed it to Boling: "Go and hand this letter to your second brother in person. Do not pass it on to anyone else! Go immediately!"
"Yes!" Boling took the letter, put it away carefully, and left immediately Go to Qimeng Palace.
Before the key was dropped in the palace, Bo Ling rushed back in time and brought back a letter.
Jin hurriedly opened the letter, but after she read it, she suddenlyIt fell to the ground.
The reason is for no other reason than that Jin Nanqian could not agree to the assassination request put forward by the Jin family. Yun Jinwei is no longer the humble princess she used to be. She can't be killed if she wants to! Jin Nanqian also told the Jin family in the letter that for the sake of the Jin family, never provoke the queen without any reason in the palace.
Without the help of the Jin family, the Jin family is like without its claws.
Jin was resentful. If they didn’t help, she would do it on her own. But now that she was grounded and temporarily rejected by Pei Mochen, she could only stay in this cage-like Qimeng Palace and slowly wait for the opportunity. .
After the last incident, Su Lingxue told Hua Ning to be more careful with the servants in Changxin Palace, and to report any abnormalities in a timely manner and not to let others take advantage of the loopholes.
After hearing this, Hua Ning also taught and beat the servants of Changxin Palace carefully, and monitored these people even more strictly.
Time passed day by day. During these days, Su Lingxue would stay in Changxin Palace if there was nothing important. The fetus on the Queen's side seemed to be very stable and no longer affected. Other things were reported.
The weather was very sunny during the day. It was already the end of autumn, and there was no longer the heat of summer or the cold of winter. At night, the bright moon slowly rose in the night sky, and the entire north of Shangjing City was covered with white.
Su Lingxue, who had not been out of Changxin Palace for many days, saw such a beautiful night. After dinner, after the palaces had gone to rest, in the middle of the day, she took Hua Ning and Yin Shuang with her. Take a walk out of Changxin Palace.
The road was very quiet at this time. I vaguely met a few little eunuchs walking hurriedly on the road. Otherwise, there were only dim lanterns on the road.
While walking, Su Lingxue came to the lake in the palace. This lake is called Taihu Lake and was dug manually by the last emperor of the previous dynasty.
Looking at the wide lake, there are many pavilions built around the shore for people to rest and watch. When I came to the pavilion and looked around, I saw green leaves of different sizes floating on the lake. Blossoming water lilies are dotted among them, and in the bright white moonlight, there is a unique scenery.
Looking at such a wide lake, Su Lingxue sighed in her heart: How much manpower must be spent to dig out such a large lake, and it is only for entertainment and viewing. Such a waste of manpower, financial and material resources, no wonder the former dynasty can perish. .
After admiring the scenery of the lake, Su Lingxue leaned on the railing and tilted her head back. A comfortable breeze blew, making Su Lingxue relax physically and mentally. She slowly closed her eyes and enjoyed it. peaceful.
Hua Ning and Yin Shuang stood aside silently when they saw this.
Suddenly, Yin Shuang on the right said: "Madam, there seems to be someone over there!"
Hearing this, Su Lingxue slowly opened her eyes and followed the direction of Yin Shuang's fingers. Looking, under the moonlight, Su Lingxue vaguely saw several women in the pavilion not far away.
Thanks to his excellent eyesight, even ifUnder the moonlight, Su Lingxue could also tell that in the pavilion were the Concubine Xian and Concubine Virtue, who were already two months pregnant. Each of them only had a personal maid.
For some reason, Su Lingxue always felt something was wrong.
"Don't make any noise, sit down and don't let them find you." Su Lingxue immediately ordered.
"Yes!" The two of them came to Su Lingxue's left and right sides and sat down one step apart.
"Can you see clearly over there? What might you hear?" Su Lingxue boasted that she had excellent hearing, but the distance was a bit far. She could only hear voices but couldn't distinguish what was said.
"This slave can only see people's figures, but can't hear anything else!" Hua Ning replied.
"Same as a slave!" Yin Shuang agreed.
After hearing this, Su Lingxue stopped making any sound and just stared at the situation over there.
Soon, there was movement in the pavilion over there, and two of the women were seen walking out of the pavilion slowly, and then walked towards the harem. Looking carefully, it was Concubine De who was leaving.
I saw Concubine De and her little palace maid Josh walking all the way to the harem, but not far away, the two of them turned around and hid behind a big tree, and then saw the other two leaning toward the pavilion. Look at the wise concubine inside.
At this time, Concubine Xian in the pavilion had already sat down on the railing and seemed not to go back for a while.
Soon, Su Lingxue saw Qiao Xi behind the tree hurriedly returning to the pavilion. He seemed to be in a hurry, and when he left, he even took Concubine De's maid Muyuan with him. Concubine De was the only one left in the pavilion. Concubine De seemed to stand up nervously and looked in the direction of Concubine Xian.
Looking at the two palace ladies over there who were leaving in a hurry, they saw Mu Yuan staying beside Concubine De, and Josh left in a hurry, but Josh ran out in a hurry Not far away, he turned around and ran towards the pavilion where Concubine Xian was. When he walked into the pavilion, what did Qiao Xi say to Concubine Xian?
He saw that Concubine Xian was also anxious to leave, but just as she was leaving, When she was in the pavilion, suddenly Josh behind her stretched out her hand and pushed her into the water. With a splash, Xian Fei fell into the water. Then she saw a stick that Josh in the pavilion had taken from nowhere. He stretched the stick towards Concubine Xian's head in the water and pressed Concubine Xian hard into the water, completely submerging her head into the lake.
This chapter is not finished yet, click on the next page to continue reading.
Josh's technique was very neat, and he kept Xian Fei in the water, and even her desperate cry for help was not heard.
"Mother, over there..." Hua Ning said in shock.
At this time, Su Lingxue and Yin Shuang next to her were looking at the situation on the other side calmly.
The virtuous concubine in the water didn't seem to know how to swim, so she allowed Josh to keep pressing into the water.
Looking at the situation over there, Su Lingxue cursed in her heart: Damn it. Yeah, I haven’t been out for so many days, todayAfter finally finding a quiet night to go out, this kind of thing happened to me.
And in the lake over there, the Concubine Xian seemed to be dying, and the frequency of surfacing was rapidly decreasing.
To save or not to save?
Su Lingxue didn't want to save her in her heart. Since entering the palace, Su Lingxue felt that the environment she was in was more dangerous, and one careless move could endanger herself.
Suddenly, an idea poured into Su Lingxue's mind, so she asked in a low voice: "Yin Shuang, is Concubine Xian's father the censor?"
"Hui Empress. , Yes!" Yin Shuang next to him responded in a low voice, and she continued: "The father of Concubine Xian is Mr. Cao, the censor of the capital."
"And, Cao. Your Majesty's only direct descendant is Cao Huayue," Yin Shuang added.
"What about Concubine De?" Su Lingxue asked calmly.
"De Fei's father, Mr. Lu, is also the censor of the Duchayuan. He is at the same level as Mr. Cao and is the censor of Zuodu!"
"But there is someone in Mr. Lu's family. The legitimate son. "
The left and right censors are the highest officials in the Metropolitan Procuratorate and are jointly responsible for supervisory affairs. They are directly controlled by the emperor.
The Censors of the Metropolitan Procuratorate were the highest supervisory officials in the Da'an Dynasty. They were responsible for supervising officials inside and outside the court.
"Mother, shall we save her?" Yin Shuang asked in a low voice, looking at Su Lingxue beside her.
Su Lingxue replied without hesitation: "Help!"
So Josh over there saw that the already very weak Concubine Xian was about to die, and suddenly heard that There was a voice in the distance. Seeing this, Josh quickly retracted his stick and left the pavilion quickly.
Without Josh's suppression, Concubine Xian finally tried her best to expose her head, but at this time she no longer had the strength to call for help.
Suddenly, a woman's exclamation came from the shore: "Concubine Su, someone seems to have fallen into the water over there!"
Then Cao Huayue heard Concubine Su's urgent voice. : "Hurry up and rescue the person!"
Cao Huayue in the water soon felt that her body was being held by others and slowly swam to the shore. When she got to the shore, Concubine Xian saw a very beautiful and familiar figure. face comes into view.
"Concubine Xian... Concubine Xian..." As Su Lingxue called out again and again, Concubine Xian finally closed her eyes and fainted.
Seeing this, Yin Shuang hurriedly gave first aid to Concubine Xian. Yin Shuang's first aid was somewhat similar to modern times, but it was not exactly the same. Soon Concubine Xian spat out a few mouthfuls of lake water. She coughed violently, and when she recovered, she seemed to be exhausted and fainted again.
Soon, Concubine Xian was carried back to her Liuyun Palace by the eunuchs. But when they arrived at Liuyun Palace, Concubine Xian was still unconscious.
Not long after, Pei Mochen arrived, followed by Queen YunJinwei hurriedly came to the bedside and looked at the pale and unconscious Concubine Xian, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised.
Pei Mochen looked very serious. When he came to the bedside and looked at the unconscious Concubine Xian, his face became even darker. He turned around and looked at Su Lingxue next to him: "Xue'er, can you see why Concubine Xian fell into the water?"
Su Lingxue, who was in the process of saluting but had not yet stood up, calmly replied after hearing this: "Your Majesty, I never saw it, but when I was walking by the lake, Hua Ning suddenly saw someone in the water and rescued me. Who knew it was Concubine Xian?"
"Why did Concubine Su suddenly go so late at night? I went for a walk by the lake and happened to meet the Concubine Xian who fell into the water. Is it too much of a coincidence?" After hearing this, Queen Yun Jinwei said suspiciously.
But before Su Lingxue could defend herself, she heard Pei Mochen say majestically: "Don't make any judgments until the matter is clarified!"
Hearing this, the queen beside her He immediately bowed his head and behaved himself: "I made a mistake."
Pei Mochen turned away from the queen and said to Su Lingxue, who was still saluting: "Xue'er, no courtesy!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty. !" Su Lingxue straightened up.
"Your Majesty, the imperial physician has just made a diagnosis. Concubine Xian is fine, and the child in her belly is also safe. If your Majesty is worried, please send another imperial physician to diagnose her again!" Su Lingxue said.
"Since the imperial doctor said everything is fine, that's good!" Pei Mochen turned to look at the unconscious Concubine Xian on the bed and said.
"Concubine Xian is still unconscious. The incident of falling into the water will be investigated after she wakes up."
"Xue'er, the night is already deep, you should go back and rest early!" Pei Mochen He turned to look at Su Lingxue and gave orders.
"Yes, I obey!" Su Lingxue bowed and left Liuyun Palace. She was indeed tired.
But as soon as she left the palace, she saw the anxious concubine rushing over, followed by the very well-behaved Josh. < /p>
Su Lingxue looked at the very worried Concubine De in front of her, who had no flaws at all, and sighed in her heart: It would be wrong for her not to win an award for her acting skills!
"The imperial doctor has just diagnosed that Concubine Xian is fine and the child in her belly is also well. Concubine De does not have to worry!" Su Lingxue looked into Concubine De's eyes and said calmly.
A trace of disbelieving surprise flashed across the eyes of Concubine De, and it passed quickly.
Then she raised her hand and put it on her chest, seeming to breathe a sigh of relief and said: "That's good..." If Su Lingxue hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would have been deceived by this acting skills. .
"Then I will not send you to the imperial concubine, but to the imperial concubine Su!" After saying this, Concubine De bowed down and saluted.
Seeing this, Su Lingxue passed her and walked slowly back to her Changxin Palace.
After she was far away from the entrance of Liuyun Palace, Su Lingxue said calmly: "Did you notice that she didn't even ask who saved Concubine Xian!"
"I think about the time just now, Concubine De never left, we saved her when we saw her!" Yin Shuang beside him replied calmly.
After hearing this, Su Lingxue said something seemingly unrelated: "I hope our choice is not wrong!"
