Chapter Seventy-One: Wild Rumors
"Done?"
Yun Xiao looked at Lintong in the night and asked the four people behind him.
"Back to the Hou Ye, it's all done. Rumors have spread in the palace, and now it is estimated that Changle Palace should also spread. ”
Le Niang was behind Yun Xiao and bowed down and replied.
Yun Xiao's confidential things are all told in this study, and bugging devices are simply a no-brainer thing in this era. Yun Xiao also didn't believe that there were people who could lie on the glass in these days, except for legendary characters like Spider-Man, of course.
For these reasons, it would be impossible for anyone to overhear what was being said in this room. If it is leaked, it is also the responsibility of the parties.
"Hmm"
Yun Xiao nodded with satisfaction, this feeling of pointing out the country is very good. The future heir of the Han Empire was overshadowed by his own trick in this way, and there was no way to fight back.
With Princess Guantao's ability, she is not afraid that she will not hear it, people like this, they like to spread rumors, and naturally they also like to believe rumors. Women, in particular, are the main spreaders and believers of rumors. It doesn't matter whether Concubine Li said that she said such a thing or not, as long as Princess Guantao believes it.
Liu Rong categorically would not marry Gillian, so Zhou Yafu would immediately be furious. It's hard to say what the angry old army leader can do. However, it is certain that Liu Rong will lose the support of the military.
I believe that Wang Wan will also hear the news, with her wisdom and the plan with herself a few months ago. This time, she will definitely be able to completely pull Princess Guantao into her trench. With her help, it was only a matter of time before she gained the support of the Queen Mother.
In this world, as long as the Queen Mother and Liu Qi are satisfied. Yun Xiao really couldn't think of any other force that could compete with it. The combination of Dou Ying and Liu Hui will disappear like a drop of water in the desert in front of the mother and son.
"You have to go on going to the palace, if you suddenly disappear it will arouse suspicion."
"No," Le Niang agreed in a low voice.
"The pearl necklace made for Wang Meiman, you can send it to her next time you enter the palace."
"No"
No matter how much her prey struggled, she had already fallen into the trap. Ever since Princess Guantao stepped into the Yaju building a few months ago, she had fallen into a trap. She can't climb out anyway, now it's up to anyone else to fall in, the windfall is everyone's favorite.
"Pop" The delicate glass of the Yun family was thrown to the ground by Princess Guantao and shattered.
"You say it again?"
Princess Guantao pointed to a palace maid and said.
Today, she felt that something was wrong when she entered the palace early in the morning, and the palace people were all chattering behind her. Finally, she hid behind the door and heard the conversation of the palace maids.
"The eldest princess spares her life."
The palace maid was so frightened that she immediately knelt on the ground, and put her head on the feet of Princess Guantao and trembled with fright. The palace people who were arrested with her also knelt on the ground one by one.
"If you want to live, be honest. Otherwise, I'll chop you up and feed it to the dogs. ”
Princess Guantao glared viciously at the palace maid in front of her, who was only fourteen or fifteen years old. He said as he propped up her chin with one hand.
"No. Slave...... The slave said. ”
The little palace maid stammered in fright, and she couldn't say a word. She knew that if the eldest princess said that she would be killed and fed to the dogs, she would definitely be fed to the dogs. Her own life is like a little ant in front of her.
Li Niangniang said. You don't keep women's morals. You can't teach good children. Gillian is crazy. If a fool comes out in the future, it will harm the Han ......"
The little palace maid told the rumors in the palace one by one, and Princess Guantao's face turned from white to red, from red to blue. The silver teeth rattled and rattled. If Concubine Li was in front of her, Princess Guantao would definitely eat her alive.
She also said......"
"That's enough, don't talk about it."
Princess Guantao slapped the table, and the refreshments on the table jumped.
"Since you are so energetic to gossip in the palace, then you will be punished to do coolies. Someone came to send him to the Torture Division to work as a coolie, and see who in the palace dared to chew his tongue again. ”
"No"
Several guards rushed up like wolves, pulled up the little palace maid who was crying and grabbed the ground, and the two palace people dragged them out.
"Concubine Li, you're doing well."
Princess Guantao gritted her teeth and said hatefully.
Yaju small building.
"Tell me who instructed you."
Concubine Li pointed to Ying'er, who was already covered in bruises on the ground, and said.
As a concubine who has been in the harem for many years, she naturally heard the rumors. After hearing the full content of the rumors, Concubine Li was suddenly speechless in shock. determined that Ying'er was instructed by others to frame herself, and immediately ordered Ying'er to be arrested, tortured and interrogated, and forced to ask the mastermind behind the scenes no matter what.
"Niangniang, the slave and the maid have been following you since they were ten years old, how could the slave and the maid be instructed to betray the maid. Ask the mother to be merciful and spare the life of the slave and maid. ”
Ying'er kowtowed on the ground.
"You dare to be hard-mouthed, and beat me to death."
Concubine Li didn't care about her love for many years, and the eunuch's whip was struck down on her head and face, and her clothes were thin in the summer, and every whip would take away a piece of Ying'er's flesh and blood. Ying'er rolled on the ground to avoid the whip, blood soaking her clothes along the wound and staining the expensive carpet on the floor.
"Drag it out and don't get dirty. Be sure to ask her to tell who the mastermind is. ”
Concubine Li said sharply.
Several guards dragged Ying'er, who was covered in blood, out, and Ying'er's heart-rending screams made every palace person's heart tremble.
This Ying'er waited with Concubine Li when she was very young, and she has done her best for ten years, even if she has no credit, she has worked hard. On weekdays, he is loyal to Concubine Li, but he didn't expect Concubine Li to deal with Ying'er like this because of a few rumors that there is no shadow. The palace people in Yaju Xiaozhu, especially the palace people around Concubine Li, were all worried and secretly sighed for Concubine Li's ruthlessness.
Ying'er's shouting slowly subsided, and the guards came in and bowed down to report: "Niangniang, Ying'er can't be tortured to death." ”
"Dead! Drag it down and bury it. ”
Where did Concubine Li have the heart to pay attention to a dead person at this time, and dragged the celebrity out with a casual order. There will always be some such things in a year, and the heads of each palace can execute those palace people who make mistakes at will. Often, these people are pulled down from mass graves and buried indiscriminately. Not to mention the tombstones, not even the grave bag will be left.
As soon as the palace door opened early in the morning, Concubine Li came to the prince's east palace. She didn't sleep well all night last night, and she couldn't think of any countermeasures after thinking about it.
"Taifu, it's not good. There are rumors circulating in the palace that I scolded the eldest princess, and if the eldest princess listened, what would it be. ”
Concubine Li ignored Liu Rong's presence and hurriedly broke into Xuelu.
"Well, the prince, please recite the seven rounds once. I have something to talk about with Li Niangniang. ”
Dou Ying didn't want Liu Rong to fall too deep in this matter, so she made a gesture to Concubine Li. The two of them came to the corridor by the side of the school.
"What's going on with the mother, why is she so panicked."
"Since yesterday, for some reason, there have been rumors in the palace that I secretly scolded the eldest princess. What do you say, I said that the eldest princess does not abide by women's morals, and Gillian will give birth to a stupid son in the future......"
Concubine Li repeated the rumors in the palace. The more Dou Ying's face became more and more ugly, and after Concubine Li finished speaking, she asked eagerly, "Did Niangniang say such a thing?" ”
"Taifu, why don't you believe me. No matter how confused I am, I wouldn't say such a thing. ”
Concubine Li anxiously defended herself.
"Uh, that's good. Niangniang, where is that palace maid now? ”
"Last night, I was forced to ask who was the mastermind, and the guards were killed by mistake."
"Oops, the mother is wrong. This is a human witness. Although the eldest princess may not believe it, this is also an opportunity to defend herself. Now that people are dead, there will be rumors in this palace that you have killed people and killed people. Niangniang, you can't wash it now even if you jump into the Yellow River. ”
When Dou Ying heard the news of Ying'er's death, she immediately slapped her thigh in annoyance.
Hongu was dizzy at the time, and he didn't think of this. So what should the palace do now, if it angers the eldest princess, I'm afraid the queen mother's attitude will change. ”
"Don't panic, Niangniang, you have to be calm at this time, you must go to the eldest princess in person. The matter of choosing the crown princess will be done according to what we say, let's say that the prince is two years young, and then say that it can be delayed for one day.
You must clarify the rumors, and in any case, convince the eldest princess that you did not say it. (To be continued......)
