Yinzhen was dubious about this. After thinking for a moment, he ordered someone to pick up the silk bag and handed it to Rong Yuan, saying: "Mr. Xu, do you think this silk bag can be used to contain mosquitoes?"
Rong Yuan took it in his hand and looked through it and said: "The silk bag has a fine texture. If there are mosquitoes inside, as long as the mouth of the bag is tightened, they will definitely not be able to fly out."
Yinzhen nodded slightly and said, "But now the mouth of the bag is open, which means someone deliberately opened the mouth of the bag and let the mosquitoes out, right?" If this is the case, then there must be someone in the Chengqian Palace to help. After all, the Shumulu family
It's not like you live in Chengqian Palace and you can't go in and out at will.
Rong Yuan saw his thoughts and muttered: "If I return to the emperor, maybe the mouth of the bag has not been tightened at all, because as long as mosquitoes are full of blood, they will not fly around at will unless there is danger.
, so even if the mouth of the bag is open, they will not fly out to suck blood before they feel hungry."
In this way, the matter has returned to its original point. Apart from the fact that Shu Mulu is suspicious, there is no other clue.
There, Shu Mulu cried sadly: "Your Majesty, since I entered the palace, I have been deeply favored by the Emperor, and I have been favored and cherished by the Emperor. I can never do anything to harm the Emperor. Also, if I really have
If you are involved in this matter, you should do everything you can to stay out of it, both emotionally and rationally, so how could you get involved on your own and add so many doubts?"
Yinzhen took a deep breath, looked down at her and said, "I also want to believe what you say, but how should you explain to me about the silk bag?"
Shu Mulu did not speak, she just kept crying, like pear blossoms with rain, making people feel pity. After a while, she reluctantly stopped crying, wiped her tears and said: "Your Majesty, I have remembered it. Although this kind of silk bag is my concubine's
I made it with my own hands, but I once gave it to someone."
Yinzhen perked up and quickly asked: "Who is it?"
"It's Concubine Cheng." In the surprised eyes of Yinzhen and others, Shu Mulu continued: "I know that Concubine Cheng often doesn't sleep well, so I specially sent several silk bags filled with dried flowers.
In the past, I hope it can help her sleep."
"Concubine Cheng..." Yinzhen repeated in a low voice, and said to Si Xi: "Go and invite concubine Cheng over immediately, and also bring the silk bags that Hui Gui gave to concubine Cheng."
After Si Xi left, he said again: "Since there is still such a thing, why didn't you say it just now?"
Shu Mulu said with an aggrieved face: "This is just a small thing. How could I keep remembering it? If I hadn't been talking about this silk bag all the time, I'm afraid I wouldn't have remembered it until now."
Of course, Shu Mulu didn't really forget, but deliberately delayed telling the story of sending the silk bag to Dai Jia until now, so as to minimize Yinzhen's suspicion of her and make Yinzhen think that she was really
Forgot
This matter came to mind inadvertently. As for Concubine Xi...hehe, she knew she couldn't deceive her, but so what, Concubine Xi was just a concubine after all, and Yinzhen was the emperor. As long as Yinzhen believed in her, she would
Enough.
Ling Ruo heard that she wanted to lead the matter to the Dai Jia family. Although she was still unclear about who committed the murderous attack on Hongli, the one that made her most suspicious was the Shu Mu Lu family, no matter how beautiful and nice she said it
, unable to dispel even a trace of suspicion, he said coldly: "I remember that Concubine Cheng once testified for Concubine Qian regarding the seventh elder brother's matter. Doesn't Hui Guiji mind at all?"
Shu Mulu said with a blank look on her face: "The concubine is just telling the truth, why should I care? If I follow what the concubine said, wouldn't I hate many people?"
"But as far as I know, that doesn't seem to be the case." As soon as Ling Ruo finished speaking, Yinzhen asked: "Concubine Xi, do you know anything?"
Now that the matter has come to an end, Ling Ruo no longer has any need to hide anything and nods: "Concubine Cheng came to see me before and said that noble Hui was relying on the emperor's favor to run rampant in Jingren Palace and did not care about her as the main queen.
In the eyes of Hui Gui, she often made provocations. Cheng Concubine originally thought that Hui Guiren was young and ignorant and did not care about her, but Hui Guiren became more serious and used the excuse to be with Cheng Concubine.
After breakfast, she poured a whole bowl of porridge on Cheng Concubine, which made her body red. In anger, Cheng Concubine picked up an empty bowl and threw it at Hui Gui, breaking her forehead open.
Xiaokou, Hui Guiren threatened her that she would sue the emperor and ask the emperor to punish her. Concubine Cheng was afraid, so she told the matter to the concubine, and asked the concubine to speak kind words for her in front of the emperor. "
After listening to Ling Ruo's narration, Yinzhen looked surprised. He didn't expect that there were so many things in it. Before he asked carefully, Shu Mululu could not help but shook his head and said: "No, I have never had any affection for the concubine."
Disrespectful, no
Wrong, at that time I did pour a bowl of porridge on Concubine Cheng, but it was just a mistake. Concubine Chen immediately knelt down to admit her mistake to Concubine Cheng, but the concubine believed that she had done it on purpose and scolded her severely.
concubine
After a meal, she even hit the concubine with a bowl." At this point, she pushed aside the hair covering her forehead, revealing a half-inch long gash that was already scabbed. "Although the concubine was injured by the concubine, the matter is
It’s all because of this.
The concubine caused the porridge to be spilled due to her clumsiness. It is not the fault of Concubine Cheng. How could I threaten her and say that I would go to the emperor? If Concubine Xi had not brought it up now, I would not have told her about it.
.”
Yinzhen confirmed her words, "Yes, Jiahui has indeed never mentioned this matter in front of me, and has never even come to Yangxin Hall to ask to see me."
Ling Ruo glanced at Shu Mulu and said, "Your Majesty said that, but you think I'm lying?"
"Of course not." Yinzhen said in a slow voice: "You have been with me for more than twenty years, and you are my most trusted person. How can I doubt you? Since this matter is related to Cheng concubine, we will wait until Cheng concubine comes.
Let’s talk about it later.”
After saying this, he stopped talking. As for Ling Ruo, although it was heard that Yinzhen still believed that Shu Mulu was more important, it was true that Shu Mulu did not go to complain in front of Yinzhen.
At the moment, she is not worried about Yinzhen doubting her. She and Yinzhen have experienced so much and they already have considerable trust in each other. It cannot be destroyed by Shu Mululu with just a few words. She is just worried that Yinzhen is suspicious of Dai Jia...
When Dai Jia came over, she had no idea what was going on. She was a little bit happy in her heart, thinking that Yinzhen had thought of her, but she didn't understand why Yinzhen specifically told Sixi to tell her about the gift of Shu Mulu.
Bring a few silk bags with you.
As soon as she stepped into the hall, Dai Jia felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere in the hall. Imperial Physician Qi and the others were all there, and even Imperial Physician Xu, who had resigned a long time ago, were also there. They all looked solemn. What surprised her the most was that Shu Mulu
She actually knelt on the ground and sobbed. What on earth happened? Could it be that Shumulu used his injury to her to complain in front of Yinzhen? But if that was the case, he shouldn't have come to Chengqian Palace!
