Ye Guiren knelt on the ground respectfully and kowtowed to Jiang Xinyue: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I am the concubine who was ignorant in the past. She always instigated Cheng Jieyu and Liu Guiren to go against the empress. If something happens to the concubine this time, what will happen?" Knowing the heart of the Bodhisattva, I will definitely look up to you from now on. I hope you will forgive me for my ignorance in the past."
She, Cheng Jieyu and Liu Guiren had a sworn friendship when they were in Chuxiu Palace. They said that good sisters share blessings and share hardships, but when they left Chuxiu Palace, they were more competitive than the other. Falling out is ruthless.
Cheng Jieyu thought very highly of herself and felt that she was the best and would be favored by the emperor, so she did not take her and Liu Guiren seriously.
He usually looks at people through his nostrils and looks down on her and Liu Guiren's many tricks.
But she didn't want to think about it. If she didn't have a father who had made meritorious deeds, how could the emperor look at her more?
Liu Guiren has always had eyes on the top of her head. Her grandmother was a female official who once served the late emperor. When she reached her age, she left the palace and married a local official. She always brought it up and felt that she had nothing to do with the emperor. The relationship is unusual.
There is only her, she has nothing.
It was the imperial concubine's intention to make her permanent in the first place, because the emperor didn't pay attention to her at all.
Now that she was in trouble, Cheng Jieyu and Liu Guiren wanted to cut off their relationship with her, not to mention that they came to save her because of their friendship in Chuxiu Palace.
She thought she was going to die, but the imperial concubine rescued her.
"Your Majesty Ye, please get up quickly. I don't deserve your thanks."
Jiang Xinyue smiled softly: "Although I have the reputation of being jealous, I can still distinguish right from wrong. It was you who did it. If I don't reply, I will forgive you. If it wasn't you, I won't wrong you." , as long as you are safe and sound in the future, I will naturally not embarrass you."
If those in higher positions were like this, then there wouldn’t be so many unjust, false and wrongful cases in the world.
For the first time, Ye Guiren felt that it would actually be good if the imperial concubine was the queen to manage the harem.
While he was talking, another palace maid sent a message outside saying that Jiang Guibin was here. Ye Guiren did not leave, but retreated to sit on a small stool. He looked at Jiang Guibin with some envy as he hugged the sixth prince without hesitation, teasing her. The Sixth Prince plays.
"I asked you to write a letter to Jiang Chuan. Have you written it?"
The magpie immediately nodded: "I've written it, I've written it. In addition to asking him to guard the palace and guard against virtue... to guard against being framed by malicious people, I also asked him to pick the grapes carefully and put them in an ice basin to preserve them until we return. , but I want to make grapes...what...the smoothie that the empress said."
Although she didn’t know what smoothie was, her mother-in-law was an expert in gourmet food, and she said it must be delicious if it tastes good.
…
Hexi Palace——
Jiang Chuan did not rashly ask for an imperial doctor. There were various precious medicinal materials and medicines in the warehouse of Hexi Palace. He did not know medical skills, but he still knew a thing or two about simple hemostatic and anti-inflammatory medicinal materials.
The palace maid and Lu Yin worked together to "handle" Xiao Ronghua into a new look, and the three of them sat down together.
"Tell me! How did you get in?"
Lu Yin took several deep breaths and did enough mental preparation before she said, "The wall in your vegetable garden didn't collapse on its own. It was the Imperial Concubine who sent someone to knock it down in order to cover up the sound of digging a dog hole on the other side. .”
"What?"
Jiang Chuan stood up: "Why did she come to smash our wall for no reason? And... you are the most trusted person of Concubine De, why should I trust you?"
Don't work together to set a trap for him, in order to frame his mother-in-law.
Xiao Ronghua was severely abused. His face was disfigured. There were no fingernails left. They were all pulled out. There were wounds everywhere on his body. Some were scabbed and some were still bleeding. Just now, the little palace ladies I was so scared that I cried when I was bandaging her.
Could it be that they wanted to hide Xiao Ronghua in their Hexi Palace, and wait for the emperor to come back, so that their empress could take the stolen goods alone?
What a vicious mind.
Seeing that Jiang Chuan didn't believe it, Lu Yin was so anxious that she slid down from her chair and slammed her forehead on the ground: "Eunuch Jiang, I...I don't want to betray Concubine De, but...I...I don't want to die, I want to live. , I am already twenty-three years old, and I will be released from the palace in two years. I really don’t want to die. Empress Dowager De, she...she has a murderous nature. In the past, she only picked on concubines and palaces in the cold palace. Now she has started to kill people in her own palace, I am going crazy, I am really going crazy."
If he wasn't crazy, how could he dare to let Xiao Ronghua out and crawl into the Hexi Palace through the dog hole to seek shelter.
In this palace, no one except the imperial concubine dares to care about this matter.
"I don't know why Empress De Fei dug a dog hole to come out. She didn't arrange for me to take the next step, but because of this dog hole, I had the idea of rescuing Xiao Ronghua. She was already the only person who survived being tortured by her. Well, if the Imperial Concubine wants to overthrow her, Xiao Ronghua is the best evidence."
Jiang Chuan didn't say anything. He still had some doubts in his heart. He couldn't believe her easily for fear of harming his mother-in-law.
"Concubine De... Concubine De killed two of the former empress's princes. Even the wet nurse of the sixth prince was burned to death with white phosphorus powder. It was Concubine De's father, Cheng Guogong, who bribed Madam Zhu's maid and instigated Madam Zhu to do it. .”
In other words, Concubine De wants to kill the sixth prince!
After two such breaking news came out in a row, Jiang Chuan finally believed her: "You told me, what do you want me to do?"
Lu Yin raised her head with hope rekindled in her eyes: "Eunuch Jiang, you just need to hide Xiao Ronghua and don't let her die. When the imperial concubine comes back, I will work with Xiao Ronghua to expose the true face of Concubine De in front of the emperor. I... …I don’t ask for anything else, I just ask the imperial concubine to be merciful and allow me to leave the palace early. I don’t want to stay in this palace for a moment longer.”
terrible!
Jiang Chuan's eyes flashed: "If what you say is true, I will naturally explain it to you, but if you dare to deceive me, our queen has many ways to kill you."
"Don't worry, Eunuch Jiang, I dare to come tonight because I have made up my mind and will never deceive you."
She looked at the bright sky outside: "It's getting late, I should go back, otherwise Empress Dowager De will become suspicious."
Watching Lu Yin crawl out of the dog hole, Jiang Chuan was puzzled: "What on earth is the Imperial Concubine going to do with so much trouble digging a dog hole here?"
"Eunuch Jiang, there is another bunch of grapes here. Do you want to pick them?"
Several gardeners and fruit makers came early in the morning and paid great attention to the purple jade grapes. This was related to whether they could get ahead and not be careless.
"Pick!"
Jiang Chuan hurried over and said, "Your Majesty, I sent you a letter asking about it. I will eat it when I get back."
