"Oh? So it's Concubine Jin who wants to harm me?" Yabi asked lightly. Although she was asking the imperial doctor, there was a bit of humor in her words.
But the old nanny who looked timid didn't seem to understand the underlying meaning of Yaconi's words, and quickly took over the conversation and said, "How could it be? Yaconcubine is overly worried. The imperial concubine has no queen in the palace.
I have the title and everything else, how can I still harm you, the concubine?"
Perhaps because she was too eager to pin this charge on Concubine Jin, the nanny didn't realize how much she said was beyond the rules. If only Concubine Ya was here at this time, it would be nothing to say, but now the house is full of concubines.
There were so many people among them, and the Concubine Jin in her words was also there, and she was still serving Emperor Ning in disguise.
Yun Shang couldn't help but laugh. This situation was probably set up by Qin Meng. Although it looked decent from the front, the person chosen this time was really unbearable. Xu was still stunned.
In the imperial dining room, Mammy was setting fire again. She didn’t know how to watch what was happening, and she was a little too impatient. According to Qin Meng’s identity and experience, I’m afraid that the fish and meat incident was planned with great reluctance, and I’m afraid it was also done through
The expert pointed it out, but the only flaw was this nanny. However, considering Qinmeng's status and degree of favor, it was already very difficult to bribe such a nanny.
The previous maid must have accepted Qin Meng's favor, because when Concubine Jin asked her if anyone outside the imperial dining room had been here, she raised her eyes and looked at Concubine Jin quietly, which was too obvious, and then
The old nun then said that Aunt Zheng had been to the imperial dining room, which made people think that the previous palace maid must have been instructed by Concubine Jin.
With such an unbearable opponent, Yun Shang suddenly lost interest in playing.
"Yes..." Yun Shang raised her eyes faintly and looked at the light smoke of sandalwood burning in the corner, "What reason does the mother-in-law have to harm Empress Yabi? Someone, go and kill Meng Jieyu's side.
Bring the maid named Qier here."
Yun Shang saw that when he mentioned Meng Jieyu, a look of panic flashed across the old woman's eyes. The panic reached its peak when Yun Shang directly pointed out Qier.
His face was pale, and the sweat on his forehead made it even more real.
"Meng Jieyu?" Emperor Ning frowned, but did not stop Yun Shang. He waved his hand and told the guard standing at the door, "Go."
After the guards left, Yun Shang ignored the old woman kneeling on the ground and turned to Concubine Jin with a smile, "Have you gone to bed in Chenxi?"
Concubine Jin had been standing aside expressionlessly. Now after listening to Yun Shang's question, she turned her head and nodded with a slight smile, "When I came out, I let the nanny coax me to sleep. I have been sleeping much better recently."
, maybe because the weather is getting warmer, I used to wake up three or two times at night, but now I can sleep until midnight."
Yun Shang had taken care of a child in her previous life, so she naturally understood that it was difficult to take care of a child at such an old age. Hearing this, she also smiled a little and said, "That's good, my brother is a well-behaved person."
Hearing this, the concubine also turned her eyes and said with a smile, "Yes, the little prince is really cute. When I often go to the Jinxiu Palace, I see him smiling happily, but he doesn't recognize him. He always smiles when he hugs him.
.”
Emperor Ning and the kneeling old woman seemed a little surprised that Yaconi would act so irrelevant to her. Logically speaking, Yaconi should be regarded as a victim. After all, fasting before the wedding is also
It was very important. She would naturally not be in a good mood if she was ruined. And now there were various signs that the person who harmed her was most likely Concubine Jin. However, she seemed to have no grudge at all and even chatted with Concubine Jin about her little one with a smile.
Prince.
Concubine Jin was startled when she heard this and chuckled, but the look in her eyes was joyful. No matter what, as a mother, she was very happy when others praised her child.
Yun Shang looked at the old nanny who seemed to look even paler, and then she smiled and ordered the guards to take the old nanny down.
After a while, the palace maid named Qi'er was brought over. There was no fear on her face. On the contrary, Qin Meng, who was following the guard who was escorting Qi'er, had a bit of panic on her face.
"Your Majesty, Imperial Concubine, and Concubine, why did you bring Qier here? What mistake did Qier make?" As soon as Qin Meng came in, she hurriedly saluted and asked repeatedly.
"Meng Jieyu, are you blaming me?" Emperor Ning asked lukewarmly, making Qinmeng tremble all over, with cold sweat falling from her forehead. After a long while, she smiled palely, "I'm not a bitch, concubine!"
Dare, I just saw Qier being taken away suddenly by the guards, and I was anxious for a moment, so I asked the emperor to forgive me."
Emperor Ning did not respond, but Yun Shang spoke in a leisurely manner, but she talked about a topic that had nothing to do with the matter, "The earrings Meng Jieyu is wearing are a bit unique. I seemed to have them specially made outside the palace the day before yesterday.
I've seen it in the Yashi Pavilion for jewelry. I heard it's a new pattern and there's only one in the entire imperial city, but I didn't expect to see it on Meng Jieyu today."
Qin Meng's whole body stiffened, and her lips turned a little white. Very few outsiders came in the harem. The concubines usually wore jewelry made in the palace, and almost no one paid attention to the jewelry outside the palace. But Qin Meng was in
She is not favored in the palace. She rarely leaves the palace where she lives, so she is not afraid of being asked. Although the things sent from outside the palace are not as valuable as those in the palace, the styles are also very novel. Besides, she is only the lowest.
As a concubine, the good ones in the palace would not be passed on to her. What she could wear were usually leftovers chosen by others. Therefore, every time something was sent in from outside the palace, she would always put it on in a hurry.
She was a little nervous the first two times, but later she became a lot bolder when she realized that no one had noticed. Moreover, she had never thought of Qier being taken away today. She was so anxious that she forgot to put her earrings back.
Take it off. Unexpectedly, Yun Shang was there, and even more unexpectedly, when she came in, the first thing Yun Shang said to her was this.
Others never thought of it.
Concubine Ya on the side fell on Qin Meng's earrings. She seemed silent for a moment and then said, "I heard that Meng Jieyu has no family outside the palace, and no one has ever visited the palace..."
The underlying meaning of this sentence is that this earring came from a very strange place.
Emperor Ning was silent for a moment. Knowing that Yun Shang would definitely not mention any earrings for no reason, he raised his eyes and took a look before saying, "Who gave you these earrings?"
Qin Meng bit her lip and did not answer.
Yun Shang chuckled softly, "Let me answer on behalf of Meng Jieyu. These earrings were brought in by Qi'er when her relatives came to visit the palace once a month. Originally, it was normal for people to give things to their master, but that
I asked the price of this earring yesterday, and it seemed to be three taels of gold. I didn't know that the maid next to Meng Jieyu was so wealthy. Moreover, this didn't seem to be the first time I saw Meng Jieyu wearing a palace robe.
All the things are of great value..."
After a pause, he looked at Qin Meng again, with a bit of disdain in his eyes, "The old lady just said that this is how the seabass meat was brought into the palace by Qier. If you want to frame Concubine Jin, you can't
Why don’t you wipe the traces clean?”
Hearing this, Qin Meng's body trembled and she quickly raised her voice, "That's nonsense. How could Qier tell her this?"
When Yun Shang heard this, she smiled slightly. No wonder she always felt that Qin Meng could not achieve anything big. Qin Meng was originally just a palace maid, and she was not very literate. Her family was poor and her life experience was miserable. Although she had seen the queen's
All kinds of calculations, but she is not the queen after all. Even if she has learned some calculation methods, she cannot learn from the connections that the queen has cultivated for more than 20 years by taking advantage of her status. Nor can she learn from the queen who is clearly imminent.
But he can still maintain a calm demeanor.
After all, I am only qualified to be a clown and cannot get on the big stage.
Yun Shang turned her eyes and looked at Qi'er, and saw her frowning slightly when Qin Meng said those words, and there seemed to be one word written in her eyes: stupid.
Yun Shang found it interesting. This palace maid was a person, and she didn't know who she belonged to. However, the only people who always competed with her in the imperial city were those few. The most obvious ones were Jing Wenxi and Ning Hua.
Ning Hua Jing was not in the imperial city when he first saw Qin Mengdai's pearl flowers outside the palace. The most likely person was Jing Wenxi, or was it Jing Kui?
"Father, it's a little late, let's search the palace." Yun Shang said calmly.
Emperor Ning pondered for a moment and then nodded, "It's indeed not too late. The day after tomorrow is the ceremony for the conferment of the queen. I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep for long tomorrow night. It's better to get some sleep if we settle this matter earlier."
"There's no need to search the palace, just search the palace maid." Hearing this, Yun Shang changed her mind again, "It's faster this way."
Emperor Ning nodded when he saw Yun Shang's confident look. He raised his eyes and wanted to call Aunt Zheng, but he felt that Concubine Jin was also one of the people under suspicion, so this was a bit inappropriate.
When Yun Shang saw Emperor Ning's look, she knew what he was thinking, and a light suddenly rose from the corner of her mouth, "Father, just ask two trustworthy chamberlains to go."
Emperor Ning seemed stunned for a moment, turned his eyes and glanced at Yun Shang. He was silent for a moment, but it was only a moment, and then nodded slightly, "Eunuch Zheng, let's find two chamberlains to search."
Yun Shang saw a few cracks appearing on the expression on the face of the maid named Qier, and couldn't help but feel a little relieved. Although the servant was a castrated person, she could still be regarded as a man. Being searched by a man must be
Very unforgettable.
Qier was pulled down, and Qin Meng seemed to have had her strength drained from her. She knelt on the ground blankly. After a long while, she suddenly raised her eyes to look at Yun Shang, with indescribable emotions surging in her eyes.
Yun Shang saw it and just smiled nonchalantly. She had given Qin Meng a chance again and again, but unfortunately Qin Meng didn't cherish it and went against her wishes again and again. No wonder she
.
After a while, Manager Zheng came out with his servants, holding a sachet in his hand, raising it above his head and saying to Emperor Ning, "Your Majesty, this servant found this on Na Qier." (To be continued)
