"Your Majesty." Concubine Ning said coquettishly, her eyes moving, just the way the emperor liked her in the past.
The emperor responded coldly, looking at Concubine Ning with cold eyes. Concubine Ning's eyes turned red, and she bowed aggrievedly again: "Your Majesty, what did I do wrong? Please make it clear to me that I will definitely change."
"You know about the Ning family in Zhengyuan Hou Mansion, right?" the emperor asked coldly.
"I... I know, I am a sister of the same clan." Concubine Ning still didn't know what happened outside the palace, and her heart skipped a beat. She was not too panicked. Compared to herself, Piaoxue was Ning's biological child.
daughter.
"Ms. Ning has a vicious mind. For her own selfish reasons, she is afraid of Mrs. An, the Marquis of Zhengyuan, and her daughter." The emperor said coldly.
Concubine Ning was stunned and could hardly believe her ears: "Your Majesty, do you think Ning has harmed others?"
"You don't know?" the emperor asked.
Concubine Ning knelt down with a plop: "Your Majesty, I don't know. I have been in the palace for a long time, and I almost don't know about some things outside. Ning and I are just sisters of the same clan. If Ning hadn't taken care of me,
I’m my biological mother, I’m afraid I don’t even know who she is.”
"The fact that Ning and her daughter killed Marquis Zhengyuan's wife and daughter have been revealed to the world. Let your mother take care of herself. How dare a little Ning's daughter do such a treasonous thing? If it weren't for what happened later.
Does anyone dare to do this?" The emperor scolded coldly.
Concubine Ning trembled and said sadly: "Your Majesty, my mother doesn't dare, my mother must know nothing, I..."
Concubine Ning wanted to explain, but the emperor waved his hand: "You don't have to say anything. Just ask your mother not to get involved. If this matter has anything to do with your mother, I can't protect you."
After saying that, he stood up angrily, turned around and walked out.
In the side hall, when she heard that the emperor had arrived, Piaoxue was very excited and hurriedly asked people to dress up properly. When she came out, she was told that the emperor had already left, and she sat down in shock for a while.
Why doesn't the emperor come over to see himself?
"Is...anyone else coming?" Even if he doesn't come to see him, he will send a servant over.
"Master, there is no one. The nun next to Concubine Ning even scolded me and told me not to go over and inquire about the emperor's affairs. The emperor's affairs are not something that I should inquire about." Xing Yu said aggrievedly, her face
There was even a red patch on it, which looked like he had been slapped.
Piaoxue trembled with anger and gritted her teeth: "Concubine Ning went too far to bully others."
Concubine Ning is getting old, and she really thought that the emperor would always treat her well. When she wholeheartedly brought her into the palace, it was because she was afraid that she would not be favored when she became old and beautiful, but now she is treating her like this!
"Master, now...what should we do now?" Xingyu said, covering her face.
"Wait, I don't believe she can keep the emperor from coming." Piaoxue said coldly, looking through the window and falling on the corner of the sky outside.
Now that she has entered the palace, everything outside has nothing to do with her for the time being. She is just like Piao Xue now, a little mistress who is only favored. As for the future, we will talk about the future later. She does not believe that she cannot defeat Concubine Ning. With her own appearance,
The emperor also liked it very much, she could feel it.
It's just that Concubine Ning has been using her to bring her into the palace, keeping her in check and not letting her have too much contact with the emperor. She can wait, after all, she is young...
Piaoxue was still competing for favor with all her heart, but she didn't know that Concubine Ning was like an ant on a hot pot at this time. She had no intention of competing with her for favor. After walking around the palace for a few times, she sat down panting and picked up the teacup.
After drinking half a cup, he asked his confidant: "Mommy, what should I do now?"
"Your Majesty, the affairs of the Zhengyuan Marquis Mansion have nothing to do with you." A confidant said in a low voice, "No matter what trouble they make, these things have nothing to do with you. You are just the empress in the palace, and you have the same surname as Ning.
That’s all, even if you appreciated her before, it was only because of the favor of my biological mother.”
"But Ning... is she talking nonsense?" The more Concubine Ning thought about it, the more uneasy she became. She was even more uneasy than when she heard the news. If Ning had to bite her out, it would be a fatal disaster.
"Your Majesty, you just helped Ning a little bit before. It's nothing in real terms, but Ning can't keep her." Mammy lowered her voice and reached out to rub her neck hard.
"Dead...?" Concubine Ning was surprised.
"Yes, he's dead! Once Ning dies, the past events will have nothing to do with you anymore," said the nanny.
This proposal made Concubine Ning very excited. After thinking about it for a while, she gritted her teeth. In the past, even if she had something to do, she would talk to Ning alone. Once Ning died, no one would know about her private interactions with Ning.
"Go and ask... someone to come over and say that I am unwell and want to ask for a peace charm." Concubine Ning lowered her voice and said.
The confidant grandma understood and turned around to leave.
Compared with other concubines in the palace, Concubine Ning has a better relationship with the few chamberlains around the emperor and the real people he worships. The emperor believes in Taoist real people, so does Concubine Ning, and most of the concubines in the palace follow the wishes of the Queen Mother.
, all believe in Buddhism and like to go to the Buddhist hall in the palace to chant sutras and worship.
Concubine Ning believed it and asked for a peace talisman, so naturally she had to ask for it in front of Zhenren Qin.
As for outside the palace, Concubine Ning also sent her nuns out. While inquiring about what happened at the Zhengyuanhou Mansion, she warned her mother that she must not interfere with the invasion of the Zhengyuanhou Mansion.
It's no use...
Something big happened in the Zhengyuan Hou Mansion. Yu Zhongyang and Yu Shuxing who were assigned to the outside were arrested together, and then the Ning family. Finally, it was discovered that the girl Yu who was in the nunnery had disappeared long ago. I heard that after being sent here,
It just disappeared and I don’t know where it went after that.
The person who was sent to the nunnery properly disappeared?
This incident is not to say shocking, but at least it makes people find it unbelievable. Why did the person sent by the Yamen disappear? When I asked the nun in the nunnery, she couldn't explain clearly. She only said that the person came and left again, and then
He disappeared and Ning was the only one left in the nunnery. He also looked for her but could not find her.
Some nuns even said that they might have fallen into the river behind the nunnery and drowned. Now the people in the nunnery did not dare to say anything more.
"Girl, Yu Lanxue didn't leave the palace at that time. Can no one find out about this matter?" Mingyue came in with a bowl of medicine and put it on the side. This medicine was not for Yu Xijiao, but it was used by people every day.
After surviving the incident, Yu Xijiao's health has improved since the incident at Zhengyuan Hou Mansion, and she can also start taking medicine and eating.
"Even if we find out, we won't say it, because it must be left in the palace." Yu Xijiao raised the corners of her lips, and her eyebrows became less depressed.
"Girl, the death of Marquis Zhengyuan is actually related to their second wife, as well as Mrs. Marquis Zhengyuan and Lord Lanxuan County. These people are so vicious." Mingyue said, the "blood book" that was dug out was filled with blood and tears.
Mingyue was also there at the time and saw it very clearly. She went there with the guards of Prince Qi's Mansion.
"I don't know if it matters." Yu Xijiao shook her head.
"Since Lanxuan County Lord said so, how can it be okay!" Mingyue said. She admired Lanxuan County Lord who self-immolated and was unwilling to let Ning's mother and daughter succeed. The daughter of aristocratic families is often very weak, and she is not willing to let Ning's mother and daughter succeed.
How many people can do this kind of thing and would rather live in pieces than in ruins?
"Mr. Lanxuan County may not know about this." Yu Xijiao shook her head. How could this matter be simple? The incident was just to tear off the second wife's skin, but what about the people behind them?
"Girl, if you can move the marquis of Zhengyuan, I feel that the person behind it is not only not simple, but may also have something to do with the palace." Mingyue's voice unconsciously lowered a bit.
"You think so?" Yu Xi smiled sweetly.
"It's not just slaves. I think many people will feel this way. Almost all the people I met today, whether they are from our house or not, thought that this matter was strange. There must be someone behind it. I don't know if there is someone behind Mrs. Yu."
, or there is someone behind Yu Zhongyang."
Mingyue thought for a while and said with a serious face.
Although everyone dared not say it clearly, they all mentioned it occasionally and had the same meaning. It was such a coincidence that something happened in the Duke Anguo's mansion, and Mrs. Zhengyuanhou and Yu Lanxuan were imprisoned. Everything that happened after that, if it weren't for the Duke Anguo's mansion, couldn't
Get away with it, how could Mrs. Zhengyuanhou and Yu Lanxuan have reached this point.
It's such a coincidence that it's hard to believe.
The Anguo Duke's Mansion is also an unsolved secret. The government of a country closed the case in a month. It was so hasty that it seemed to be fake. It was convicted in a month and the whole family was executed. Then the married daughter and granddaughter were released.
This matter had been hidden behind numerous rumors, but now that it has been revealed again, it makes people feel even more suspicious.
The affairs of Duke Anguo's Mansion are very clear, and they are the emperor's decree...
"Since so many people think it, it may be true, but whether it is true or not, there are some things that cannot be said." Yu Xi's face turned cold.
Of course, something suddenly happened to my grandfather's family, and this incident was inextricably related to my previous life. This incident was related to Chu Zihan, and who was behind Chu Zihan?
Now that Chu Zihan has disappeared, Yu Xijiao will not believe that something has happened to Chu Zihan. With Chu Zihan's character, how can he really commit suicide?
So, what about Chu Zihan?
"Miss, I understand that I will be cautious and won't say anything." Mingyue has always been cautious, and she understands what Yu Xijiao means at this time. She complied, and after thinking about it, she suddenly said, "Miss, Ning
Will Mrs. Yu and Mrs. Yu be able to find some clues?"
Since there is someone there, there must be clues behind it.
Mingyue didn't believe that Mrs. Ning and Mrs. Yu could grit their teeth and say nothing.
"Ning... will die." Yu Xijiao looked at the bright moon, the corners of her lips were slightly raised, and her smile was cold. Ning wanted to kill herself and her mother. She didn't know what would happen if the sun fell on her this day?
"Will... will you kill Ning?" Mingyue was shocked, but then she came to her senses and asked urgently, "Should... secretly keep her alive?"
"No need! She deserves to die." Yu Xijiao shook her head. Ning needs to die, so that the people behind her will feel relieved, and she doesn't have the strength to fight Concubine Ning behind her.
Besides, there may not be anyone left behind Ning's death.
"You will go and give Prince Qi a gift of thanks in a moment, the gift prepared by father." Yu Xijiao pointed at a gift on the table by the window, with a deep look in her eyes.
