Chapter 311 The Puzzle Under the Puzzle
Gu Hanqian nodded slightly to her, and the look in his eyes made it very clear that he would not even interfere in the slightest way as to how this matter was going to be handled today and who was going to be handled together.
But even so, everything is named now. Zhuxiang did this alone and has nothing to do with Sun Miaoqiong. No matter how sure she is in her heart, Sun Miaoqiong must be involved in this matter. If there is no evidence, there is no evidence.
, she said nothing to punish Sun Miaoqiong for poisoning the mistress.
"You are devoted to the Lord. This is something worthy of praise, but you used the wrong method. Fortunately, I was the one to eat the lotus seed soup today. Fortunately, nothing serious happened. If it had been eaten by His Royal Highness,
, when the time comes, your lady will also be buried with you!"
Ji Fuyin looked at Zhuxiang and shook her head with regret, "You are a loyal servant, but staying with a loyal servant like you is not necessarily the master's blessing. They say retaliation, do you want to
You can do whatever you want to poison me to death."
As soon as she finished speaking, Qingmei on the side had already taken the remaining half of the bowl of narcissus bulbs, walked to Zhuxiang, and touched the bowl in front of her eyes with a stern expression.
Zhuxiang's body began to tremble uncontrollably. After a long time, she turned around and kowtowed heavily to Sun Miaoqiong three times, with tears streaming down her face. "Miss, please take more care of yourself in the future. I can no longer serve you!"
"Zhuxiang——" Sun Miaoqiong covered her face with a handkerchief and looked away.
Zhuxiang had a cold face, gritted her teeth, and swallowed all the narcissus bulbs in the bowl. Soon she began to suffer from unbearable abdominal pain, her face changed drastically, and finally she stared at her legs and swallowed her breath.
Seeing Zhuxiang's miserable condition, Xianghe was already frightened out of his wits. He kowtowed and kept saying "spare her life" and that she was wronged.
Ji Fuyin shook her head, "The obsession with money can make you poison your master for a little profit. If a slave like you really takes it seriously, it will be ten thousand times more hateful than Zhuxiang! Zhuxiang is still
For the sake of my master, even though the method was ridiculously wrong, it can still be said to be a sentimental and righteous one, but you——"
"For a slave like you, I'll let you die quickly, but it will be an advantage for you. Come here, give this girl fifty lashes in the front yard, and then sell her to Ren Yazi, who will then send her to Goulan
In the courtyard!"
The purpose of beating her in the front yard is to give the other maids a warning not to do anything behind her master's back just for a small profit. Otherwise, today's Xianghe will be their fate tomorrow!
Xianghe screamed and was dragged down. Ji Fuyin seemed to be relieved, picked up the tea cup on the side, took a sip, and said, "Aunt Qiong, why are you still here?"
"It's okay for me to teach my subordinates, so I should be punished as well." Sun Miaoqiong said, with a bit of gritted teeth in her words.
Zhuxiang grew up with her, and it was absolutely impossible to say that there was no friendship at all. Even if she was sacrificed for her own benefit, she would still feel very uncomfortable.
Ji Fuyin smiled and said, "Those who don't know are not guilty. Zhuxiang has admitted it herself. This matter has nothing to do with you, Aunt Qiong. Go back to Qiongyuyuan and have a good rest. Aunt Qiong must have been frightened today."
After Sun Miaoqiong left, while Gu Hanqian was away, Qingmei asked quietly: "Miss, is it really Zhuxiang who did this?"
"Whether it is true or not, at least the current evidence is." Ji Fuyin smiled faintly, but her expression was thoughtful.
Sun Miaoqiong is not a fool. On the contrary, she is very smart and cunning. It can be seen from her various methods in the past that she is definitely not stupid enough to let her cronies bribe a maid to poison herself.
Even if others can't see what happened today, Sun Miaoqiong should know that she will definitely put this account on her head. According to Sun Miaoqiong's past style, even if her conspiracy fails in the end, she will never succeed.
It will make others doubt yourself...
But today... from the very beginning, this matter was too simple to peel off the cocoons, as if I shook it gently from the mess and the clear thread was exposed.
Sun Miaoqiong is not stupid, but why is today's poisoning plan so simple? Moreover, she still asked Zhuxiang, one of her most trusted cronies, to do it?
And once she does this, even if she has no conclusive evidence to prove it, Gu Hanqian will definitely have an even less favorable impression of her. If she does this, it will simply be more gain than loss. Could it be that——
A seemingly absurd idea popped up in Ji Fuyin's mind. Could it be that what Sun Miaoqiong did today was intentional?
Deliberately using a seemingly successful poisoning incident to deliberately put this account on her head?!
But... Ji Fuyin's face was a little confused again. If Sun Miaoqiong really did this on purpose, what good would it do to her? Or, there is another huge puzzle that is happening somewhere that she can't see.
Gradually involve yourself in it...?
At this moment, suddenly, someone gently put a hand on her shoulder. Ji Fuyin, who was lost in thought, couldn't help being startled. Only when she saw the person in front of her clearly, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Gu Hanqian laughed dumbly, "So you are scared sometimes, what are you thinking about?"
"Who wouldn't be afraid of your hand suddenly coming up?" Ji Fuyin scolded, suppressing the shadow that appeared in her eyes just now, and smiled, "I was just thinking that after two days, I can take advantage of the opportunity to enter the palace.
I can meet my grandmother and mother again."
Gu Hanqian had no doubt that she was lying, and said with a smile: "What's the matter? As long as you like it, I will accompany you back more often. Speaking of which, do you want the clothes and accessories to be worn at the dust-washing banquet in two days?
Just prepare early."
"Don't worry, I know all this." Ji Fuyin smiled, then suddenly remembered something, "After entering the palace in two days, I will meet the Queen, over at Qiongyu Courtyard..."
The smile on his face suddenly became indifferent, and there were a few creases between his eyebrows, "Do you want me to go there?"
"My face changed quickly. I want to ask you how you will explain the matter at Qiongyu Courtyard when you meet the Empress." After that, Ji Fuyin joked again, "Why do you usually look so magnanimous?
You look like you're going to fall out at every turn?"
Gu Hanqian sat down, the smile on his face returned to its original state, "How can I explain to the queen that you don't need to worry about this matter."
Hearing what he said, Ji Fuyin smiled and didn't ask any more questions. Anyway, he always had a way to solve such trivial annoyances, whether it was threatening Sun Miaoqiong or simply keeping silent in front of the Queen.
, as long as it has nothing to do with her.
Two days passed by in a flash, and it was almost time to go to the palace for the banquet. He dressed up well early in the morning, and when he went out, Gu Hanqian was already waiting by the carriage in front.
"Miss, look." As he helped her out, Qingmei pouted at the carriage following with some disdain. Ji Fuyin followed her gaze and immediately saw the maid who was helping her get into the carriage.
Sun Miaoqiong in the carriage.
Sun Miaoqiong was dressed in a luxurious purple shirt, with beads and emeralds all over her head. Even the shoes she was wearing were made of gold and silver threads. She wore two strings of huge East beads in her ears.
They are composed of two stars, one large and one small. The two largest ones are bright and shiny in color, and seem to emit a faint bright light in the daytime.
If you don't look carefully, just by looking at her style, people who don't know what she is doing will probably think that Sun Miaoqiong is the Crown Princess at first sight.
Ji Fuyin smiled faintly and said softly, "Let her go."
Sun Miaoqiong dressed like this just to compete with herself and to prove to others that her concubine's life in the prince's mansion was no worse than hers, the prince's concubine.
Just looking at the few pearls dangling in her ears, I must have taken out all the good things from the bottom of the box today. Dressed up like this, it accentuated her already bright and beautiful look, making her even more attractive.
It's so dazzling, but it's a pity——
Ji Fuyin only glanced at it, then withdrew her gaze, walked to the carriage, took Gu Hanqian's hand, and got into the luxurious carriage.
When the banquet was over today, I could take the opportunity to make some insinuations with my father and find out what the two completely different statements made by Ji Lingyin and Gu Hanqian were about.
The carriage rumbled forward and soon stopped in front of the palace gate. It was a coincidence today that an unknown minister's carriage suddenly ran into trouble in front of the palace gate. It would take a while to forcefully pull it away.
, the carriages in front of the palace gate have stopped in twos and threes.
After staying in the carriage for so long, at Gu Hanqian's suggestion, Ji Fuyin also got off the carriage to get some air. After getting off, she looked around and found that Ji's carriage was not among them. It seemed that it had not arrived yet.
Sun Miaoqiong also got off the carriage. When she appeared in front of everyone, Ji Fuyin clearly saw that everyone's eyes lit up. Where Sun Miaoqiong was, there would always be the jealousy of women and the greed of men.
A place where lovers meet.
A newly appointed minister saw Sun Miaoqiong so close for the first time, and his eyes almost burst out of his eyes as he stared at Sun Miaoqiong's body.
Sun Miaoqiong walked over with a smile, blessed the two of them, and looked at Gu Hanqian with a pair of beautiful eyes, "Your Highness, my ninth brother from my mother's family is also here today. I have been here for a long time."
