Chapter 24 Chapter 24(1/2)
How long Wen Yin stood in the hall? How long did Kunning Palace last silent? Even the queen who started the trouble first did not speak out.
I don't know how long she turned sideways, slowly swept over the queen on the high seat, and then looked around the concubines present.
"Today's affairs are not over." She said, retracting her gaze, "Madam, take away the palace maid who slandered the reputation of this palace!"
In Changxin Palace, it is unprecedentedly quiet.
Madam Yu asked someone to close the door of the hall carefully to isolate the people's sight inside. She also directed the person to carry the water over gently and wash away the blood in front of the hall.
She stood there in an orderly manner, still looking mean and cold, but if she looked carefully, she could see the redness in her eyes clearly.
When Zhu Jing stepped into Changxin Palace, he saw this scene where everyone was silent, the palace maid was silent and lifeless. It was obviously a warm spring, but it gave people a sense of decay and decay.
He pulled down the collar of the court suit with a little stuffy feeling, raised his legs and strode forward.
"Where is your concubine?"
When he passed by Madam Yu, he stopped to ask questions.
Madam Yu looked at the bedroom where the palace was closed, and Zhu Jing realized it.
"Nianchun...how did you arrange it for her?"
"I was afraid that the Empress would be sad when she saw her, so I carried the person out early and bought a coffin for her, intending to send her back to her hometown."
"This arrangement is very good." Zhu Jing nodded, "Feng Bao, go to my treasury to get a hundred gold as a burial silver to send it. Please be sure to bury her with a generous amount."
Feng Bao bowed and said that.
Zhu Jing took a deep breath and walked towards the palace gate.
When his palms pushed open the door of the hall with his hands, the light outside rushed into the dark hall where the window was closed, he also saw clearly the lonely she was sitting in front of the table. She turned her face and was motionless looking at the forsythia placed in the corner of the window.
"The Imperial Concubine."
He lowered his voice and called softly, but the other party did not react at all.
She sat alone, her face without much blood, without any sadness, but gave him a feeling of desolation.
He couldn't help but step forward a few steps and stretched out his arms to hold her in his arms.
"A person cannot be resurrected when he dies, don't be too sad. She is so loyal that if the spirit in heaven sees you hurt her, she will be uneasy to leave."
Wen Yin only felt that there was an indescribable depression surging from the depths of her soul.
She couldn't tell why at this moment, but her actions had already reacted instead of her thinking.
Zhu Jing paused for a moment and slowly lowered his eyes to her face.
As soon as she pushed him away with force, he could feel her strong resistance to him.
An unprecedented feeling of discomfort surrounded him. He stretched his lips and his expression changed.
In an instant, he suppressed the discomfort and slowed down and said in a slowing down: "Concubine, I will definitely give you an explanation for this."
The moment he stepped out of Changxin Palace, Zhu Jing stopped and turned his eyes, and ordered in a cold voice: "Set up to Kunning Palace."
Wen Yin is still watching the forsythia.
At this moment, she was still the only one in the hall, with the doors and windows closed and the light was dim.
Why is it that what is this? I can use it to pay her life to Nianchun?
Wen Yin thought repeatedly, but repeatedly did not understand.
A living person is gone in less than a meal.
This feeling is very unreal, and it looks like seeing flowers through the fog, which makes her feel false.
But in addition to being false, she felt a dull pain. Perhaps in order to divert this dull pain, she began to try to recall how she was thinking about Chun over the years, whether she had treated her badly, and whether she had blamed her.
But she couldn't seem to recall it. After all, over the years, she actually didn't pay much attention to the people around her. She had no sense of belonging to this huge palace. Since she stepped into this place, she seemed to have stepped into an incompatible place. The people and things here were not worth paying attention to. She wandered like a wandering soul, separating everything from the outside world.
It seems that except for her nanny, no one else has anything to do with her.
The great palace maids who served her were subconsciously, perhaps the relationship between them was more like an ordinary employer and an employee. So she hired them in a free-range manner, thinking that when they reached the age of getting married, she let them out of the palace, then their lives had nothing to do with her.
Of course, she thought it was like this.
But Nianchun's sudden departure seemed to hit her heart, making her feel sore and realize that she had an entanglement with this cold palace. No matter how much or how little, she could not pull it off or erase it.
After Madam Yu wiped her face, she took a few breaths and pushed the door in, and told their empress as calmly that Nianchun's funeral had been arranged.
Wen Yin was immersed in her thoughts and did not respond immediately.
After a long time, she murmured as if to herself: "Madam, I still remember that among the palace ladies who entered Changxin Palace, Nianchun liked to pinch the top. At that time, the madam said that she was very arrogant and had a strong vanity and was not a good girl. But later, after I closed the palace for three years, so many palace ladies were anxious to find a way to leave, but she stayed in Changxin Palace unswervingly for so many years and ate."
Madam Yu's throat felt a little awkward: "Yes, Madam also misses her."
After those three years, she could see clearly the true face of a person. Although Nianchun likes to pick the best, she is loyal and firm in protecting her master. So in the next few years she would suppress Nianchun from time to time. It was not that she really disliked her, but that she wanted to suppress her arrogant spirit, and was afraid that she would suffer a great loss in the future.
"Mum, there are a few things you need to tell you to do."
Madam Yu calmed down and forced herself to take her spirits, "Grandma, you said."
"The first thing is to pry the mouth of the snow, and I want to know who is behind the scenes."
Compared to the thug, she hated the person behind the plot.
"The second thing is to pass on Nianchun's thoughts to the guard." Wen Yin looked at the forsythia beside the window again, "I want to know his reaction."
She must know clearly whether it was a trap or someone accidentally broke the private matter.
"The third thing is that Nianchun loves the foal the most, so she took the horse out of the palace and sent it back to her hometown with the coffin, and stayed in front of her tomb."
Madam Yu wanted to speak but stopped: "But that horse..."
"Since I've given it to me, I have the right to deal with it." He paused and said again: "Send someone to inquire and see which palace the emperor went to after he went to the queen."
Wen Yin turned her face toward the outside of the hall, and her voice was soft: "Look at how many palace maids in our palace are as old as they are, and they will report them to prepare a dowry and send them out of the palace."
Kunning Palace is immersed in the pressure of the emperor.
"I didn't tell you clearly that day?"
"I received a secret report that day and learned that such a scandal happened in the harem, how could I ignore it? According to the palace rules..."
With a crisp sound, the tea cup was split on the ground.
"Queen, do you never judge the situation and never look at my face?"
The emperor finally ran out of patience, and stood up expressionlessly, "But I need to tell you in a blunt manner that in this palace, my joys and anger are the rules, and my likes and dislikes are the rules!"
The queen's body shaking.
"Come here, I sent an order to inform the six palaces. The queen had lost her virtues and was confined to her for three months." In the queen's fearlessness, he said coldly: "There is a queen who practices Buddhism in Renzong's dynasty. If you want to imitate her, I can help you."
After speaking, I walked away.
The queen sat on the ground.
After Zhu Jing stepped out of Kunning Palace, the Jinyiwei people stepped over and whispered quickly.
He looked in the direction of the palace where Concubine Kang was without emotion, and asked sideways: "Can the concubine come out to find out the news?"
The Jinyiwei people responded to yes.
Zhu Jing stopped for a moment and stepped onto the carriage.
"I will put on the hall of diligence."
Wen Yin, who learned about this, understood the emperor's meaning.
This matter is not necessary to be investigated until the queen is punished for being confined.
Wen Yin, who was still sitting in the hall, didn't feel angry at this moment, but instead felt ridiculous.
She remembered the attitude of his obedience to her a few days ago and seemed to be full of love. She remembered the deep affection that he allowed her to be spoiled for her for a few times, giving people the illusion that it seemed to be properly placed in his heart. She also thought that before he left her, he was confident that he would make decisions to her and explain to her.
How ridiculous, this is the so-called deep affection of the emperor.
Fortunately, she is no longer the simple woman who is ignorant of the world and has just come out of the ivory tower. Otherwise, she would have been deceived by his affectionate feelings, and she would have shed many tears and broken her tenderness in the next half of her life.
As early as when she was oppressed by him and stayed in this palace, she knew very well what she was positioning. She was just his seasoning. If you want to say something special, she could probably be considered a more suitable dressing product for him.
"My lady, don't be sad, let's check the people behind the scenes."
Wen Yin hurriedly: "Don't worry, check slowly, you will always find clues. You can check the three concubines with children."
The most important thing that can make Zhu Jing stop with some concern is because of the royal heir.
It's a matter of life, she will never forget it easily.
Madam Yu thought for a while and said, "Nianxia went to examine the palace maid named Caixue. Caixue said she didn't know who the person behind the scenes was, but just did what the queen taught her. But before the incident, she had seen a palace man from Zhuang Concubine's Palace enter and exit Kunning Palace."
Wen Yin shook her head: "What is on the surface is not necessarily the true Buddha."
Madam Yu said, "I also think Concubine Zhuang doesn't look like the one who does that."
"But nothing is absolute. Some people hidden deep in this palace are. If you look at it carefully, there will always be traces as long as you have done." Wen Yin said, and suddenly remembered something and asked, "The person who is Nian Xia Shen?"
Madam Yu sighed: "It was her who tried it. Perhaps because of Nianchun's incident, she was stimulated by her two swollen eyes and begged me to ask her to try it, and I... agreed."
Wen Yin opened her mouth, but said nothing after all.
