Xianyue nodded and waited until she returned to Kunning Palace. Xia Qing saw that she had no intention to speak, so she said: "My dear, please rest, I have left first. As for Concubine Ying... I will persuade her, you
no need to worry."
"Concubine Hui." Xiayue suddenly called her and said with a complicated expression: "Why do you think Concubine Shu and the Wei family suddenly turned against each other?"
"This..." Xia Qing was about to say that she didn't know, but suddenly remembered something, her face suddenly became extremely ugly, and she mumbled hesitantly: "Could it be... is it..."
Xianyue raised her head and looked at the bright golden sunshine, and said quietly: "Maybe... the person who killed Brother Jiu was none other than me!"
"How could this happen..." Xia Qing unconsciously clenched her palms full of wet sweat and murmured: "How could it be the empress? This... this is impossible."
Xianyue sighed faintly, "After hearing what you said, Yehenala became jealous of Wei Jingxuan and wanted to harm her, so they caused such an incident. They did it as I wished
After the massacre, Wei Jingxuan was demoted by the emperor and imprisoned in the Yongshou Palace, but... the ninth elder brother is also dead. Every time I think of Concubine Ying's grief-stricken appearance, how can you tell me to let go of my heart."
A gust of warm wind blew, but Xia Qing's whole body was trembling. Unknowingly, she broke out in a cold sweat. She swallowed hard, "All of this is Yehenala's trick.
Your Majesty has nothing to do with it. From the beginning to the end, you never had the slightest intention of harming Brother Ninth Prince."
Xianyue smiled bitterly and said, "If Concubine Ying knew the reason, do you think she would think so?"
Xia Qing bit her lip and said, "Concubine Ying must not know about this matter, otherwise..." She did not continue, but everyone present knew what she was thinking. Mrs. Hu loved her two children the most. If
Let her know that Yongyue's death is related to Xianyue, and I'm afraid that many years of love will be destroyed in one day.
Xianyue said sadly: "Whether she knows it or not, I am ashamed of their mother and son."
Xia Qing lowered her eyebrows and said: "As the saying goes, God's calculations are worse than those of man. How could I know that Concubine Shu would do such a vicious strategy? I always believe that the culprits are Concubine Shu and the Wei family. They are the source of all troubles.
As long as we get rid of them, the justice of Brother Nine will be repaid."
Qi Kuan said softly: "Master, what Concubine Hui said is right. Don't blame yourself anymore, so as not to hurt my little brother. The Imperial Physician of the Song Dynasty has given you many instructions not to hurt your mind."
Jin Ping also said: "Yes, Master, no matter how sad you are, Brother Jiu will not be able to come back from the dead. The slaves will not say a word about what you just said. This matter will last forever."
's secret."
Xianyue nodded and said tiredly: "I am a little tired. Concubine Ying, Concubine Hui will persuade her more on my behalf so that she can look away as soon as possible."
"I know, my concubine, please take a rest and be careful of your body." After watching Xia Qing leave, Xianyue returned to the inner hall with Qi Kuan's hand, and waited until she changed into pajamas and rested, still looking gloomy.
Qi Kuan has been with her for so many years, how could he not understand her thoughts, and whispered: "Is the empress still thinking about Brother Ninth?"
Xianyue looked at the hollow silver ball on the top of the tent that exuded a faint fragrance, and whispered: "That day, Zhichun's unintentional mistake indirectly killed Concubine Yi Min; today, I made the same mistake as her, what do you think?
Ridiculous or not?”
Qi Kuan was silent for a while and said: "You are not a god. You cannot predict everything and know everything. If you blame everything on yourself, it will only make you miserable."
"But I was wrong after all." In such a murmur, Xianyue slowly closed her eyes and fell into deep darkness.
Wei Jingxuan was taken to the gate of Yongshou Palace. The guards had been ordered to guard the gate of the palace. When they saw Xiao Wu approaching, one of them cupped his hands and said, "I have met the fifth eunuch. I am Li Jifeng. I have been ordered by the emperor to guard Yongshou Palace."
Xiao Wu took a look at his clothes and knew that he was a third-class sword-wielding guard, so he said politely: "Young guard Li, you are so polite. Your Majesty has an order that no one in Yongshou Palace can enter or leave unless ordered to do so. I ask you to take good care of me, Guard Li."
"I understand, and I will keep a strict watch on you." After saying that, Li Jifeng made way for Xiaowu to take Wei Jingxuan and others into the Yongshou Palace.
Xiao Wu was about to take a step when a soft voice suddenly came from behind him, "Fifth Eunuch, can you please let me and Wei agree to say a few words?"
Before Xiao Wu could turn around, Li Jifeng and others who were standing opposite him already clapped their sleeves and knelt down, "I, my subordinates, see you, Concubine Shu. She may live a thousand years!"
Xiao Wu gave Yehenala a slap in the face and said hesitantly: "Wei Zhengzheng has been detained by the emperor's order. I'm afraid it's inconvenient to talk to the empress."
"I understand, but I have been with her sister for many years, and now she is like this. I really want to ask her a few questions, and I would like to ask the Fifth Eunuch for my convenience. Don't worry, it won't take long." As he spoke,
Chuntao had already knowingly stuffed heavy coins into the hands of Xiao Wu and the eunuch beside him. Before Xiao Wu could speak, the eunuch beside him said: "Father, it's just a few words, it won't be in the way."
Xiao Wu thought for a while, finally nodded in agreement, and took a few steps back with Li Jifeng and the others.
Yehenala stepped forward, carefully looked at Wei Jingxuan, who was unkempt and bruised, and then said with a half-smile, "You lost."
There was obvious hatred in Wei Jingxuan's eyes, which was completely inconsistent with the flowery smile on her lips, "Yes, I lost, but it is only temporary."
"For the time being?" Yehenala pursed her lips and smiled: "Do you think you still have a chance to recover? Wei agrees!"
"Why not?" The smile on Wei Jingxuan's face became more and more intense, "Concubine Shu must not forget that I used to be a palace maid with a humbler status than now. Look, I will definitely rise again, and the day I rise again,
It’s your death!”
Although Yehenara didn't think she had such a chance, Wei Jingxuan's words still cast a haze over her originally comfortable mood, and her smile faded away, replaced by a cold look in her eyes.
Wei Jingxuan came close to her ear and said in a voice that only the other two could hear: "Are you scared? Do you want my life? It's a pity that there are so many guards here to 'protect' me. No matter how capable you are, Concubine Shu, you can't even think about it."
Touch a hair on my head."
Yehenala stared at her with pity, and for a long time, she smiled sweetly, "Then just watch and see if they... can keep you safe!" After that, she took a step back and said to Xiao Wu: "
I have finished speaking and will not hinder the Fifth Eunuch’s actions."
"Farewell to Concubine Shu." As Xiao Wu and others saluted, Yehenala turned and left.
"Concubine Shu!" She had just walked a few steps when she heard Wei Jingxuan calling her from behind. When Yehenala turned around, she happened to see Wei Jingxuan making a gesture of wiping her neck, but on her face, she was still full of smiles.
A flowery smile is like the contrast between winter and summer.
