Chapter 22. Small Win
An Lingrong smiled confidently: "Don't be nervous. I have already figured out who the person behind the scenes is. It's not that we won't know if you don't say it today. You said it just verified our guess." She raised her hand and signaled Xiao Yunzi to let go of Xiao Yinzi, "I have only a small stone beside me. I am younger and I am not capable at all. I wonder if my grandfather Yin can look down on me, this little boy?"
Xiao Yinzi stood there in a daze.
Zhen Huan walked down and persuaded An Lingrong, "Sister Rong, such a ungrateful slave who is so kind and heartless, what are you doing with you?"
"Sister, don't worry, I know what I know." An Lingrong looked at Xiao Yinzi and said to Zhen Huan, "He is not Kang Luhai, he is still a conscientious person. But no one has taken him well and let him go astray. Now it seems that he also understands some principles of loyalty to his master, but he didn't follow a good master. It just so happened that I lacked someone, so I just took it with me to train. Don't worry, sister, he will definitely not dare to take any more intentions to harm his sister after today."
Xiao Yinzi then realized that An Lingrong really wanted him, and knelt on the ground with a pounce, and kept kowtowing: "I will be crushed to pieces to repay the little master's great kindness and virtue." He turned around and kowtowed to Zhen Huan, "I know that my crime is unforgivable, and I only ask the noble man to give up his noble hands and spare my life. I will definitely keep it in my heart."
Seeing An Lingrong insisting, Zhen Huan stopped persuading: "Forget it."
"You don't need to be crushed to pieces. You can make contributions to the things in front of you first so that you can talk." An Lingrong smiled slightly, "Do you know what to say now?"
Xiao Yinzi swallowed hard, took a deep breath, and said, "Empress Lipin asked the slave to serve Yu Guan's woman to tell her that if she was willing to do it, let the slave run errands to pass the message to Hua Sui, just say that it was Yu Guan's woman's meaning, and then handed the medicine to Hua Sui, that's it." He paused for a moment and said, "There were two times in total, the second time was this time, and the medicine was used more ordinary. Empress Lipin directly asked her to go to the Imperial Hospital to check the prescription of Guan's mansion, and then obtained a medicine. The first time the medicine was more toxic and was found from outside the palace. It seemed... Empress Hua's work seemed very expensive. She used a porcelain bottle of cloisonné, and the servants were still there!"
"Very good." An Lingrong nodded and looked at Zhen Huan and said, "Yu holds a grudge and wants to take revenge on his sister. This is a foregone conclusion. But if Yu only talks about this, he can only pull out Lipin at most. But if he bites Lipin to death, he can tear off a piece of meat from Hua Fei."
Zhen Huan's eyes flashed, she thought for a while, and called Cui Jinxi: "You have to report this matter to the emperor and the queen. Tomorrow, you will bring Huasui and Xiaoyinzi to report it yourself, and be sure to explain the matter clearly."
Cui Jinxi leaned over and said that.
"You go back to the woman Yu Guan first today and pretend that nothing happened. When something happens tomorrow, I will ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to bring you over." An Lingrong nodded to Xiao Yinzi.
Xiao Yinzi responded repeatedly and stepped back.
The next day, the queen was sick, and Cui Jinxi reported the matter to the emperor, and it took a long time to come out of the Yangxin Palace.
"I've been talking for so long." Cui Jinxi is Su Peisheng's fellow villager. As soon as she came out, Su Peisheng stepped forward and asked with concern.
"It's clear to me, I'm stupid." Cui Jinxi looked at him, said a few words of self-worth, and then bowed to him, "I'll be you, my father-in-law."
Su Peisheng laughed twice and hurried into Yangxin Palace to serve him.
The emperor had a gloomy face and did not immediately grab Yu's poisoning incident. Instead, he ordered Su Peisheng in a deep voice: "You go and find out carefully. On New Year's Eve, besides Yu's family, there are still people from Yimei Garden that have been there."
The last time An Lingrong's words brought up the emperor's suspicion today.
Su Peisheng's scalp tightened. He had personally found Yu to send him to the imperial court. If something went wrong, wouldn't he blame him for being poisoned today? So he hurriedly received the order and went to do the job.
However, before he could find out the matter clearly, Concubine Wan came to send the answer.
The emperor originally intended to summon her to comfort her, but Zhen Huan deliberately let go of the story of her encounter with the emperor on New Year's Eve: "I used to pray for blessings on New Year's Eve, but I hope that it would be as good as the wind, and it would be easy to destroy it, but I didn't expect that the world would not go as expected."
The emperor frowned: "Where did you make a wish, and what wish did you make?"
Zhen Huan was reminded by Cui Jinxi before she remembered this incident. On New Year's Eve, she ran to Yimei Garden to make a wish, accidentally wet her shoes and socks, and met a strange man who was able to escape on the excuse that she was a palace maid of Yimei Garden. Then, Yu was named an official woman, which led to the fact that Yu's favored later.
But it is true, and the fake is false. After Yu was favored, he was mostly favored by singing Kunqu opera. The poem that touched the emperor's heart has long been thrown out. The emperor did not pursue it before, but if he really wanted to pursue it, Yu would be the crime of deceiving the emperor.
"On New Year's Eve, I hope to get rid of the wind and don't destroy it easily. It was difficult to move on that night, and I accidentally wet my shoes and socks." Zhen Huan said slowly. She didn't want to harm others, but if this person pressed step by step and insisted on harming her, she would not be harmed for nothing.
The emperor was 100% sure that the person who spoke to him that day was Zhen Huan, not Yu, but he still asked more questions and got the expected answer: "I did meet a strange man. Because I went out with illness, I was even more intimate and could not get married. The concubine lied that she was a palace maid in the garden and then got out. The concubine went out privately and violated the palace rules, so she never dared to say this. I also asked the emperor to forgive me."
Zhen Huan Yingying continued to worship.
The emperor was in a very good mood and came over to help her get up: "It turned out to be you, it turned out to be you." He clapped Zhen Huan's hand and pulled her closer to him, "It's so strange that Yu only knows that one sentence. He doesn't look like a well-read poet. She impersonates you and wants to poison you, but I can't keep her. Su Peisheng sent an order, and Yu deceived the emperor and poisoned the concubines and committed suicide."
Su Peisheng received the order: "Well, the slave will do it immediately."
"The two slaves who helped Yu, Hua Sui and Xiao Yinzi, were killed immediately." The emperor said again.
Zhen Huan hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, my concubine held the little seal last night. He confessed a lot of things. Why wouldn't the emperor listen first before making a decision?"
The emperor hesitated for a moment, nodded, and asked Su Peisheng to come to the descendant.
Not to mention how Xiao Yinzi replied in front of the imperial court, the news that Su Peisheng went to Yinghua Palace to mention people immediately reached Hua Fei's ears. At that time, Lipin and Concubine Cao were both there.
"Empress, eunuchs are the most unscrupulous. When they arrive in front of the imperial court, they will definitely not be able to tell themselves. Yu must not be able to save them anymore, and they are afraid they will confess their honor." Lipin didn't know that she was in trouble, so she wanted to push Yu out to take the blame. "According to the concubine's wishes, it would be better to end one hundred things."
"No, if the Empress takes action at this time, it will attract attention." Concubine Cao hurriedly stopped him. After all, he was a military advisor and spoke more heavily. "It would be better to let Yu kill this matter. When the gust of wind passes, it will be not too late for the Empress to take care of her again."
"She wants Zhen Huan's life to avenge herself. Now that she can live, how can she not give us?" Concubine Hua was a little impatient.
Guiren Cao smiled and comforted: "She wants to live, but she wants the whole family to live."
However, before they could make arrangements, several imperial edicts followed and smashed them into pieces.
"Yu's family in Yinghua Palace deceived the emperor and poisoned the concubines and committed suicide."
"The Lipin of Qixiang Palace intends to murder the concubines, disrupt the harem, deprive the title, and be sent to the cold palace."
"The Concubine Hua of Yikun Palace is not careful and has improperly assisted, so she has removed the right to assisted the Six Palaces."
"I'm here-"
Concubine Hua immediately widened her eyes and stood up: "What? My father-in-law said clearly, what does this palace fail to take good care of me and improperly assisting me? But for the sake of Yu's poisoning of Concubine Wan?"
"Since the Empress knows, why ask more questions?" Su Peisheng advised her that Hua Fei treats him well, has been favored for many years, and has the support of the Nian family. He doesn't want to offend her. He blurted out the reasons for today, and couldn't help but remind her, "This matter is still the emperor's long-term love for the Empress, and then he raised it high and let it go. The Empress must not make any mistakes."
Concubine Hua knew that she had made up her words and twisted her handkerchief to thank Su Peisheng.
"Empress, Empress Hua! Empress save me! I don't want to go to the cold palace, I don't want to go!" Lipin was so scared that she was stunned. She collapsed on the ground and shook her head, losing her appearance. She grabbed the corner of Hua's skirt and begged incoherently, "Empress, I've listened to the Empress's words for all this. You must save me!"
Concubine Hua's face immediately changed: "What nonsense!"
"Pin Li was suddenly deposed, and she was crazy about gaining and losing her heart." Cao Guiren's mind quickly turned, stepped forward to protect Hua Fei, and said sternly, "Are you all dead? A madman still won't hold back. What if he hurts the Empress!"
"Yes, Lipin is crazy. She is talking nonsense in front of this palace, and she is not blocking her mouth!" Hua Fei was scared and sweated in a cold sweat. She held Cao Guiren's hand tightly before holding her demeanor, as if she was ordering the slaves of Yikun Palace, and as if she was explaining to Su Peisheng.
The words of a madman are unreliable.
But Lipin was not crazy. When she was dragged out, she was still cursing and said a lot of things. For a moment, everyone in the palace knew about it.
"This time she was so shameless. I heard that she had not left the gate of Yikun Palace for three days." Shen Meizhuang was well-behaved. On this day, An Lingrong and Zhen Huan invited An to the queen and came to see her. When talking about Concubine Hua, her face was full of smiles. "I lost Yu and Lipin, and I also lost the right to assist in the six palaces. This round can be regarded as a great victory for the two sisters."
