Chapter 103: The Strangeness After Falling into the Water
"Master, Her Royal Highness is having dinner with Princess Wuyou of Nanzhao Kingdom in the private room on the second floor." The shopkeeper lowered his head and said respectfully in the study of Guiyun Pavilion.
The person sitting opposite him was Feng Mingye. Feng Mingye nodded and waved for him to go down first. He sat there thoughtfully. His expression was as cold as ice as he sat there.
His eyes were filled with coldness.
Ye Tianmo, you'd better not touch my bottom line, otherwise I won't mind making it impossible for you to return to Nanzhao Kingdom.
After Murong Xi and Ye Wuyou had their meal, they wandered around for a while and then returned to the palace.
In Ning Xi Palace, Mo'er and Murong Xi were walking in the courtyard because they had eaten a little too much. Mo'er looked at Murong Xi and asked doubtfully: "Miss, what do you want to do on the night without worry?"
Ye Wuyou showed his disdain for the young lady on the day of the palace banquet, but after that, he wanted to invite the young lady several times to go out for fun. She guessed that this might be Ye Tianmo's plan, but today, Ye Wuyou finally managed to invite the young lady out.
He went out, but did not see Ye Tianmo.
"Mo'er's question is wrong. It's not what Ye Wuyou wants to do, it should be Ye Tianmo. If it weren't for Ye Tianmo's instructions, Ye Wuyou would not beg me to go out for a stroll. Ye Wuyou
How could such a self-righteous person take me seriously? Ye Tianmo is very cunning and would not be so stupid that I would bump into him when I first went out with Ye Wuyou. He was afraid that I would be disgusted with him because of this, and Ye Wuyou would never see him again in the future.
I won't agree to keep the appointment. So, Ye Wuyou did nothing but followed me for a stroll, which was also arranged by Ye Tianmo. Mo'er, just wait and see, after some time, Ye Wuyou will definitely do it again
Find a way to ask me out." Murong Xi said with a smile.
Murong Xi was not worried at all about what Ye Tianmo would do to her, she was just worried about the poison on Feng Mingye.
However, she still needs to be careful about Ye Tianmo.
No, why are you worried about that guy Feng Mingye? Murong Xi shook his head to stop himself from thinking.
"Miss, do you have a headache?" Mo'er didn't know why Murong Xi kept shaking his head, so he thought Murong Xi had a headache, so he asked with concern.
"...No." Murong Xi was speechless.
Two days later, Rushi entered the room with a piece of information about Concubine Shu, and then said to Murong Xi: "Miss, these are the information for investigating Concubine Shu."
Murong Xi took it in his hand, leaned on the pillow and looked at it carefully.
Concubine Shu was the handkerchief of her mother. She was very cowardly before she was ten years old. Although she was a legitimate daughter, she was often bullied by the concubines in the palace. Moreover, her father also turned a blind eye.
But after an accident when she was ten years old, her father sent her to a temple in the name of praying for her family. When she returned to the house two years later, everything seemed to have changed, and everything seemed to be within her expectation.
He became no longer so cowardly and allowed others to bully him, and his status in the mansion also became different.
As she said, after falling into the water, she often hinted to her mother that the Concubine Yuan Huang was not as arrogant and domineering as she seemed. Unfortunately, her mother never cared. Later, when the emperor succeeded to the throne, she went there again
She visited her mother in the palace several times. However, after her mother did not want to believe that Concubine Yuan Huang was that kind of person, she and her mother were not as close as before. The last time she entered the palace, her mother was pregnant. From then on
She never went to the palace to visit her mother again until one year after her mother passed away, when she was named Concubine Shu and entered the palace.
Wait! After she fell into the water at the age of ten, she was sent to the temple to pray for blessings? That Lin Rufeng
Was he rescued by a little girl in front of the temple? Could it be that it was Concubine Shu who was Lin Rufeng at that time? Concubine Shu was the master behind Lin Rufeng, so was it Concubine Shu who was testing her strength?
There seemed to be something wrong inside. After falling into the water, everything was as she expected. It was like she was a different person. Could it be that she had traveled through time just like him?
Murong Xi called Ru Shi, and then said: "Ru Shi, ask Aunt Yu to come over. I have something to ask her."
Seeing Murong Xi's frown, Ru Shi knew that Concubine Shu's matter might be a bit tricky, so she hurried out and brought Aunt Yu in.
"What do you want the princess to do with your slave?" Aunt Yu asked with a smile.
"Auntie, aren't you allowed to call me your slave? You're disobedient again." Murong Xi said helplessly.
"I'm used to it, slave." Aunt Yu said with a smile.
"Aunt Yu, please sit down first. Xi'er wants to ask you some questions about the past." Murong Xi said seriously.
When Aunt Yu saw Murong Xi looking like this, she knew that the matter must be very important, so she sat down and listened to Murong Xi's instructions.
"Auntie, you must know that Concubine Shu had a good relationship with her mother before entering the palace. What Xi'er wants to ask is what she was like before entering the palace." Murong Xi thought for a moment and asked.
"It turns out that it's about Concubine Shu, and that servant knows something about it. I've always been with the Queen, because Concubine Shu was often bullied in the palace, so the Empress was very protective of her, and the relationship between the two of them is also
Very good. As long as the empress is around, those people will be somewhat restrained.
But Concubine Shu suddenly had an accident when she was ten years old. Her father saw that she was in trouble and was afraid that she might be a disaster star, so he sent her to a temple to pray for blessings.
In fact, only the empress and the slaves knew that it was Concubine Shu who proposed to go to the temple to pray, not her father. Two years later, because she was about to get haircut, her father took her back to the mansion.
Moreover, the servant felt that Concubine Shu was different from before. Her whole temperament had changed a lot. After she returned to the mansion, she became no longer cowardly and very strong, which made the Queen feel relieved.
Her tone, and those aunts and concubines were also treated badly by her, which also caused everyone in the house to be very jealous of her. At that time, there was a lot of commotion, the concubine died tragically, and the stepmother went crazy. But the slave girl
I remember that since the Queen Empress entered the palace, she always visited her at first, but then she didn’t come often. I remember that the last time she entered the palace was when the Empress was pregnant." Aunt Jade recalled what happened back then.
, the feeling is vivid in my mind.
Murong Xi thought about what Aunt Yu said. It was her initiative for Concubine Shu to go to the temple to pray, not what the rumors said. Her father didn't like her in the first place. If she could go to the temple to fend for herself, he would be happy to do so.
. In this way, it would not be a coincidence if Lin Rufeng was saved by Concubine Shu. It was as if she had been prepared in advance in the temple to wait for Lin Rufeng. Would a person who had traveled through time predict the future?
Murong Xi thought for a moment and then asked: "Auntie, tell me what Concubine Shu said to the Empress when she entered the palace for the last time. Do you still remember it?"
Aunt Yu tried her best to think about it, and then said: "I only remember that when I brought the cakes in, I saw that Concubine Shu's face was not very good that day, and she seemed to be having a bad time with the empress. Before leaving,
, the slave greeted her, but she ignored the slave at all. The slave even saw with her own eyes that Concubine Shu had a sarcastic smile on her face. At that time, the slave
The servant thought that she had made a mistake. Concubine Shu had always been on good terms with the empress, so how could she smile like this? When I looked again, only her back was left."
"Besides these, do you know what was said?" Murong Xi then asked.
"My slave remembers that Concubine Shu has advised her to be careful of Concubine Yuan Huang more than once since she accidentally fell into the water. It was that time after she fell into the water that Concubine Shu took her to the house to visit Concubine Shu in person. After she saw her at that time,
She cried and even spoke incoherently. She was also very excited to remind the empress that Concubine Yuanhuang was not as hypocritical as she appeared and that she must be more careful. The empress only thought that Concubine Shu was afraid of being bullied by the concubines in the palace.
I think the same is true for Imperial Concubine Yuan Huang. In her heart, the empress just thought that Imperial Concubine Yuan Huang was spoiled by her wife, so she had a bad temper and became a bit arrogant and domineering.
Therefore, the empress naturally did not take these words to heart. After Concubine Shu was brought back, she would come into the palace from time to time to remind the empress. It was because the empress always did not take it seriously. Simply, Concubine Shu was not willing to enter the palace.
.And the last time I entered the palace was originally to congratulate the empress on her pregnancy. By the way, when the slaves saw Concubine Shu coming, they went out to prepare refreshments. Before they walked out of the hall, they heard Concubine Shu talking about Concubine Yuan Huang again.
.Moreover, she persuaded the empress to be careful this time, and what she said was a bit unpleasant. The slave did not leave after hearing this. The empress was pregnant, how could she bear such stimulation. But the slave heard the empress mentioned that Concubine Shu was about to give birth to hairpins.
You should think about your own life-long affairs. The slave never heard the voice again, so he went to bring the tea and fruits." Aunt Yu suddenly remembered the conversation between the empress and Concubine Shu that day, and then said.
After Concubine Shu persuaded her mother, she had no reaction. Was she laughing at her mother's stupidity the moment she left? Murong Xi always felt as if the answer she wanted to know was about to be revealed, but she always felt that something was missing, so,
Feeling a little confused.
Aunt Jade thought for a while and then continued: "Your Highness, the empress is too kind. Concubine Shu reminded her three times and four times to be careful of Concubine Yuan Huang, but she did not listen, which eventually led to tragedy. Moreover, the empress herself did not pay attention.
Well, every time Concubine Shu saw the emperor, her eyes were filled with admiration. Since that time, Concubine Shu left the palace and never visited the empress again. So, before Concubine Shu told you that she was coming
I don’t believe it at all that the palace is here just to find the murderer for my wife.”
Murong Xi, however, repeated Aunt Yu's words in her mind. Ever since she fell into the water, she would remind her mother about Concubine Yuan Huang when she saw her. It seems that this is not a coincidence. Could it be said that this is Concubine Shu and she really has foresight?
Otherwise, she did not live in the Prime Minister's Mansion, the Imperial Concubine Yuan always pretended, and the mother was not a talkative person, how could she tell Concubine Shu about the affairs in the palace? Murong Xi's doubt was how Concubine Shu could be so sure that the Concubine Yuan Huang was a
What about the woman who is as vicious as a snake and as beautiful as a scorpion?
Murong Xi said: "Thank you Aunt Yu for clarifying Xi'er's doubts. You can go down and rest first."
"Yes." Aunt Yu turned around and left the house.
"Miss, is there something wrong with the information?" Rushi asked."
Murong Xi shook his head, and then said: "There is no problem with the information. The problem is Concubine Shu herself. Maybe Lin Rufeng's master is her."
"What? It was Concubine Shu who ordered you and Mo'er to be blocked in the alley? What the lady meant was that she was the one who saved Lin Rufeng, and Lin Rufeng disbanded the Yunxiao Palace and retired.
Is it because of her that Jianghu is involved?" Rushi asked in disbelief.
