Chapter five hundred and eighty seventh: See through
Concubine Yu suppressed the strangeness in her heart and ordered Dongmei to help her out. When she got under the eaves, she bowed to Xianyue, who was slowly walking towards her in a sapphire blue woven gold embroidered peony flag outfit.
!”
Xianyue smiled slightly, helped her up personally and said, "Concubine Yu is exempting herself from the ceremony. I came here rashly and disturbed Concubine Yu's peace. I really shouldn't have done so."
Half a year has passed, and now the pain of losing a daughter can no longer be seen on Xianyue's face, but she knows in her heart that the pain will always exist.
Concubine Yu was flattered and said: "Your Majesty, you are serious. Although it is spring now, the spring is cold and it is quite cold after nightfall. If anything happens, you can just tell me to come over. Why do you need to come over in person?"
"They are all the same. In addition, I haven't seen the fifth elder brother for a long time, and I also want to see how big he has grown." Hearing Xianyue's words, Concubine Yu quickly ordered someone to bring Yongqi over, while she welcomed him.
Xianyue went in, and after she was seated, she personally served tea to Xianyue and said with emotion: "I feel relieved when I see your empress is in such good spirits."
Xianyue caressed her cheek gently and said warmly: "Because of the He Jing incident, I was so depressed that I couldn't show my face. This made Concubine Yu worried."
Concubine Yu lowered her eyes and said, "I'm fine, my concubine. The person who worries me the most is the emperor. When the emperor came here today, he was still worried about me!"
Xianyue smiled and said nothing. After the nanny came in with Yongqi in her arms, she stretched out her hand and said, "Come, let me hug you."
Concubine Yu's eyes flashed slightly and she said with a smile: "Yongqi is quite heavy now. I'm afraid that the queen will have a hard time, so let him go by himself. Nanny, put down the fifth elder brother."
After Yongqi's feet touched the ground, she bowed to Xianyue in a polite manner and said, "Your Majesty, the Queen is well." At the age of two, her speech was already very clear, so it was effortless to listen.
"You are so smart. No wonder the emperor likes him so much." Xianyue beckoned him to come closer, caressing her pink face and asked a few words. During this period, Concubine Yu's eyes never left Xiayue's hands. Dongmei
He and Xiao Quanzi also looked nervous and deeply
Xianyue was afraid that it would be detrimental to Yongqi. After all, it was a bit strange for her to come suddenly tonight. Fortunately, it didn't take long for Xianyue to signal Yongqi to go down. Concubine Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said to the palace attendant: "The Ministry of Internal Affairs sent
Here are the cranberries, go and wash some."
Without waiting for the palace servants to agree, Xiayue said: "No need. In addition to visiting the fifth elder brother, I also want to say a few words to Concubine Yu."
Concubine Yu bowed in her chair and said, "I am listening attentively."
Xianyue said in a cool voice: "The emperor came to see me today and looked quite unhappy. After I inquired, I found out that it was because of Concubine Yu. Concubine Yu suspected that I had an affair with Prince He, right?
"
Concubine Yu hurriedly stood up and said: "I know my crime. I should not have listened to the rumors in the market and misunderstood the empress and Prince He. Now that I think about it, I really regret it."
"Regret?" Xianyue sneered, "Everything was done by Concubine Yu. How could Concubine Yu regret it?"
Concubine Yu's eyelids twitched and she said with a puzzled look on her face: "What do you mean by this? Why can't I understand this?"
"Concubine Yu has a delicate mind and a deep city. How could she not understand what I said?" At this point, Xianyue changed her voice and said: "I have always felt that Chang Le's death was not an accident, but someone did it deliberately.
, borrowing butterflies to take Changle’s life.”
Concubine Yu pretended to be panicked and said: "There is such a thing. Princess He Jing is really pitiful. I wonder if your Majesty has found out who did it?"
Xianyue met her gaze and said slowly: "Besides Concubine Yi, the only one who was in He Jing's room at that time was the Queen."
Concubine Yu's expression became more and more panicked, and she said horrifiedly: "The Queen said this because she is suspicious of the Queen? But the Queen has always been dignified and kind, how could she do something to harm Princess He Jing? There must be some misunderstanding in this."
Xianyue chuckled lightly and said: "Concubine Yu, why do you have to act so coquettishly in front of me? The queen is dignified and kind? Concubine Yu, doesn't she find it funny?"
Concubine Yu said calmly: "I know that the empress is very sad because of the death of Princess He Jing, but it is a serious crime to be disrespectful to the empress in this way."
Xianyue said with a half-smile: "If this is a serious crime for me, and Concubine Yu takes advantage of the queen, how should I judge the crime?"
Despite Concubine Yu's thoughts, her face changed a bit when she heard this, and she immediately forced a smile and said: "Where did you start talking about this? How did I ever..."
Xianyue interrupted her and said: "I can be sure that Changle was harmed by the queen, but I am very curious. With the queen's mind, how could she come up with such an ingenious strategy? It is really unreasonable, even if you add one
The Jin family can't explain it. Apart from Concubine Yu, I really can't think of another person in the harem who can have such thoughts. As for how Concubine Yu persuaded the queen to do this, I really haven't thought about it.
come out."
Concubine Yu lowered her eyes and said, "This time, I really misunderstood. I didn't know about this from the beginning to the end."
Xianyue said coolly: "What about the rumors in the capital that I have an affair with Prince He, and Concubine Yu doesn't know about it? If I remember correctly, this is Concubine Yu's usual trick, just like the original slander
What I am pregnant with is like a disaster star. If these rumors hadn’t come out,
Now, I am really not sure that the queen is being used by you. Not only do you want me to fight with the queen, but you also use the matter with the prince to sow discord between me and the emperor. It is a pity that my cleverness has been misled by my cleverness.
Instead, you were reprimanded by the emperor."
At this time, there was no point in acting any more. Concubine Yu tore off the illusion of respect on her face and said coldly: "That's right, I really didn't expect that the emperor would protect the empress like this."
Xianyue chuckled lightly and said: "The emperor is protecting this palace, but there is no doubt about it. The reason why you were reprimanded today is because you and the prince investigated the cause of Chang Le's death, which was entrusted by the emperor."
Concubine Yu said in astonishment: "How could this happen? Shouldn't it be you?"
"At the beginning, it was indeed me, but Prince He discovered that someone was secretly following the people he sent out. He was afraid that someone would take advantage of this to cause trouble, so after discussing with me, I made a recommendation to the emperor, asking Prince He to investigate the matter secretly.
, and now we have indeed found the person who caused the trouble."
Concubine Yu's eyes were cold and she said, "Why have I never heard of this matter?"
"If I say that, will Concubine Yu still get involved?" Xianyue sneered: "Concubine Yu is also a mother-in-law. She would do such a cruel thing. She is really not afraid of hurting her Yin De."
Concubine Yu said in a cold voice: "No matter what I do, it is not as good as what I did at the beginning. If I want to blame you, I must blame myself for what I did in the beginning!"
"Strong words, if you hadn't killed Yong Lian, would I have dealt with you like that?!" Facing Xiayue's rebuke, Concubine Yu suddenly laughed, "Yes, I am the concubine who took advantage of the queen, so what?
Does your Majesty have any evidence? No, you have nothing but speculation, otherwise you wouldn’t be standing here right now.”
