Ji Ling lowered his head, and could not see any too fluctuating emotions on his face. He just said word by word: "I was just thinking about why Concubine Qi was so bold that she dared to do it on the fence directly in front of her own skylight.
Hands and feet? With such a stupid method, she is not afraid that if things happen, she is the most suspected, and she will be in trouble?
And the palace maid Hongcha, why didn’t she expose her for so long, why didn’t she expose her earlier, and why did she launch an attack today?”
Zhang Guiren tilted his head slightly, his eyes flashed, his eyebrows raised, and he whispered: "Sister! What do you mean - someone else is setting up this matter and wants to bring down Concubine Qi?"
Ji Ling looked up at Zhang Guiren, neither nodding nor shaking his head.
Zhang Guiren stood up, walked a few steps in the room, and said: "But...but that maid, called Hongcha or Bicha, is Concubine Qi's personal maid and her confidant! If others really have intentions,
How can it be so easy to pry through bribery?"
Ji Ling said calmly: "It is indeed difficult to pry a confidant, but it is easier for someone who thinks he is a 'confidant'."
She raised her eyes and looked at Zhang Guiren and said: "What if the palace maid was already a chess piece placed by others around Concubine Qi when she was hiding in the residence, and she was raised by Concubine Qi as her "confidant" for so many years?"
Zhang Guiren was horrified.
Ji Ling reached out and patted her side, asked Zhang Guiren to come and sit down, took her hand, and then said softly: "Shengjian, I just speculate, this is just a direction of thinking-if there is another black hand behind this person, this person
He must be trying to kill two birds with one stone, not only to bring down Concubine Qi, but also to hurt my Xi'er."
Zhang Guiren was speechless, staring at Ji Ling closely, holding her sleeves, and whispered: "Sister, if it's not Concubine Qi, then who is it?"
Ji Ling shook his head and said slowly: "I don't know."
She paused, stared at the palace lantern, and whispered: "But I think that since this person has set up this situation, he must have thought about how to deal with every step. No matter what, this person can escape unscathed. More
What's more, Concubine Qi is inherently impatient and easily gets into trouble - this person may have deliberately used such stupid methods to leave traces, so that both the Emperor and us would think it was Concubine Qi who did it!"
Ji Ling raised her head and stared at the dark night outside the window. She felt a slight chill in her body and raised her arms to hug Zhang Guiren.
Zhang Guiren hugged her waist and leaned closely on Ji Ling. He then heard Ji Ling think deeply: "This person may want to go to Concubine Qi and leave the third elder brother behind. Perhaps he wants to leave Concubine Qi behind."
Third brother, Xi'er, and even me were all harmed!"
Zhang Guiren raised his head and said in surprise: "No matter what, my sister is a victim. How can this person harm my sister?"
Ji Ling slowly shook his head and said in a low voice: "I have been ill for a long time and my physical condition is not very good. If Xiao Fenzi hadn't reacted very quickly today and jumped into the water immediately, Xi'er would have been in extreme danger. If
What's wrong with Xi'er? I lost half of my life! Do you think that the phrase "killing a woman to kill her heart" was just said casually?"
Qilin ran over with its tail swung, and kept pawing at Zhang Guiren's legs with its two little paws - Zhang Guiren had been here a lot and was close to Ji Ling, so Qilin also became intimate with her.
Zhang Guiren held Qilin's two front paws, lifted its small body up, and placed it on his knees. He hugged Qilin with one hand and Ji Ling's hand with the other. He opened his mouth slightly and said for a long time: "Sister
, it is essential to be on guard against others - since Concubine Qi has harmed her sister before and has always been very jealous of her, it is not unreasonable to have such a vicious heart this time."
Ji Ling nodded and said: "Yes, there are any situations. I am just making speculations and cannot be sure. It is also very possible that what happened today was all done by Concubine Qi."
She raised her eyes and looked into the distance dejectedly and tiredly. She didn't speak for a long time. After a long while, she said coldly: "Concubine Qi used to set me up with meals. Today, no matter whether there is a third person to frame this matter,
It would be a good thing to be able to push the boat along and pull Concubine Qi down.
She used to treat me like this, and I thought about giving in. But it's different now! I have Xi'er, and since she has harmful intentions, who knows when I won't extend my poisonous hand to Xi'er?"
Zhang Guiren held her hand, listened quietly, and finally hugged Qilin tightly. Suddenly he whispered: "Sister, no matter what you want me to do for you in the future, I will be willing to do it."
Ji Ling reached out and touched her hair, and said with a wry smile: "Silly girl, you are saying stupid things again!"
…
Jiuzhou Qingyan.
Su Peisheng bowed forward and led the people from the Shenxing Division to the Nuan Pavilion.
The man wiped his sleeves and knelt down to say hello.
Yinzhen stood in front of the window, staring at the night outside the window. He did not look back, but said in a cold tone: "How?"
The visitor knelt down and said tremblingly: "To tell you the truth to the emperor, the slaves are incompetent! The palace maid Hongcha couldn't stand the punishment, so when the slaves weren't paying attention, she bit her tongue... and committed suicide!"
Yinzhen lowered his eyes, glanced at the table, knocked on the table and asked: "Where is the wet nurse?"
The visitor whispered: "The wet nurse has fainted and poured three large buckets of ice water on her. She hasn't woken up yet. When the servant came to reply, the young men were pricking her with needles!"
Yinzhen said coldly: "So, you have gained nothing?"
The visitor immediately kowtowed and said in a trembling voice: "My servant is not doing the job well. Please forgive me! Your Majesty will continue to ask questions. Please wait for the good news!"
Yinzhen waved his hand.
Before the man could realize what he was doing, Su Peisheng stepped forward and kicked him, driving him out until he was wet with urine.
Yinzhen stretched out his hand to rub his eyebrows, took a deep breath tiredly, and said to Su Peisheng: "Go and tell them, the wet nurse of the third princess, there is no need to bother, and there is no need to send it back to the concubine. As for the sky above and below, the others
Servant, please check it out for me!"
He finished all this in one breath, then paused and said, "Where are the people at the sticky pole?"
Su Peisheng pointed out with a low eyebrow and replied: "If I want to return to the Emperor, the two adults have just arrived and have been waiting outside to reply to the Emperor!"
Yinzhen nodded and said: "Let people come in."
The sticky pole is a subordinate organization of the military quarters room. It involves a secret situation and only serves the emperor. Su Peisheng walked out and did not dare to sing loudly. He just waved and brought the people in.
After the people at the sticking pole were sent into the Nuan Pavilion, Su Peisheng gently closed the Nuan Pavilion door, bowed and stood guard outside the door, and waved his hand to push out the eight eunuchs standing outside.
The autumn evening breeze blew with a coolness on his body. Su Peisheng could not help but retract his hands in his sleeves, walked back and forth a few steps, stamped his feet, and suddenly heard the faint words of "Third Brother" and "Shanghai" coming from the Nuan Pavilion.
"Three Flag Guards", and then his voice dropped again.
After a while, a crisp sound was heard, which was the sound of a porcelain cup hitting the ground.
Su Peisheng curled his lips and shrank his neck back. After waiting for a while, he saw the two leaders at the stick retreating with calm expressions.
He stood outside the Nuan Pavilion for a while, then walked in and saw tea flowing across the floor and a mess.
Su Peisheng did not call the eunuch to come in, but knelt on the ground and cleaned up the porcelain pieces one by one.
