Chapter 1181 Some things can only be kept in mind
Chunyu Qing never expected that Concubine Wu could enter her central palace queen's bedroom without anyone's report. All the conversations with Wu Yan fell into the ears of Concubine Wu, which made her heart pound and almost jumped out of her throat.
But Concubine Wu continued to say that, she pointed to Chunyu Qing and said, "I don't even talk about it, but I'm still thinking about other men. Chunyu Qing, a person like you should be soaked in a pig cage and burned to death. I want to tell the emperor these words, and I want to see if the empress of the Sui Dynasty committed such a crime. Can you still protect you from the Chunyu family?"
When Concubine Wu heard such a secret, she was really excited. This excitement was caused by Chunyu Qing's boldness, and also made her very excited. Because such a thing happened, General Chunyu's mansion would definitely not be able to protect the queen. As for Emperor Li Jian, a man, he could tolerate anything, but he could not tolerate this kind of thing. She believed that Li Jian would definitely punish the queen this time, and even led the Chunyu family. As long as the Chunyu family collapsed and without Chunyu Qing's suppression, her life in the palace would really have hope.
Seeing that Concubine Wu turned around and was about to walk out, Chunyu Qing was anxious and pointed at Concubine Wu and said sharply: "You can't let her go, stop the person!"
Immediately a female guard flashed out of the secret, and the eunuch Wu Yan also quickly stepped forward. Several people took action together, and immediately dragged the two close servants and palace maids she brought back to the bedroom.
Chunyu Qing came forward in person, closed the hall door with force, turned around, staring at Concubine Wu's eyes and showed ruthlessness. She said to Concubine Wu: "I can tolerate anything in my palace, and I can spare you whatever you do. But Concubine Wu, this thing is not good! You said you heard something bad, why should you hear this? Since you are unwilling to forgive me, don't blame me for being ruthless. If you want to blame, you can only blame you for being in the wrong time." After saying that, a wink turned to the female guard.
The two female guards did not say anything, and their five fingers formed claws, respectively exploring the throats of Concubine Wu and the nearby palace maid. No matter how much Concubine Wu struggled, it was useless. In just a blink of an eye, the two living lives were strangled to death on the main hall.
Chunyu Qing was also upset when he saw Concubine Wu's body falling to the ground. It was difficult to deal with killing people in the palace, let alone the one who killed the Concubine. These two corpses could not be kept here forever. What should I think of?
She looked at Wuyan, who was more experienced than her and said calmly: "Just throw it into the well. Concubine Wu is the palace concubine, and the emperor will definitely investigate, but the empress does not need to worry. The corpse in the palace is the old general, so it would be better to say that Concubine Wu was a fall. As for this palace maid, she naturally died to save the master."
"Is this OK?" Chunyu Qing still felt that it was not reliable, but he couldn't think of a better idea for a moment, so he could only do what Wu Yan said.
The body was taken away by the female guard, leaving speechless in the hall to remind her: "Concubine Wu can enter the empress's bedroom without any news. It seems that it is time for us to change the number of servants in the palace."
"Yeah." Chunyu Qing nodded, "Just like so many eyes just saw that Concubine Wu arrived at this palace. You can find a way to block the mouths of those servants. As for the suspicious one, you would rather kill a thousand people by mistake than let one go. Killing a Concubine is a big deal, but killing a few servants is no one to care about."
Nodded silently and retreated silently.
As expected, the disappearance of Wu Concubine Wu made the entire palace excited. Everyone was guessing where Wu Concubine Wu went. Until a newly-entered lady accidentally found two corpses in the well, the whereabouts of Wu Concubine Wu were made public. But what followed was why Wu Concubine Wu died. The new emperor Li Jian was furious and handed over to the Ministry of Justice for trial, from the queen to the palace maids and eunuchs. As long as the Ministry of Justice thinks there is a suspicion, they can be transferred to the lobby for interrogation.
Chunyu Qing really hurt the gods for several days because of this incident, especially when the Minister of Justice pointed the finger at her after a few days of trial, she felt even more panicked.
The palace servants sealed the mouths, but so many people outside said that the last time they saw Concubine Wu was she taking her servants to see the empress, which made Chunyu Qing unable to argue. The Minister of Justice was very embarrassed. If this was really done by the empress, what should he do? Will the empress be punished? The Chunyu family is not easy to mess with. But if it is not impartial, what reason should the empress find to excuse herself?
The Minister of Justice hoped that Chunyu Qing could find a way to commit crimes by himself, but Chunyu Qing was indeed thinking of a solution, but he never thought it was very suitable. The two sides were in a stalemate, and suddenly one of them stood up and said to the Minister of Justice: "After the emperor left the Empress's Bedroom that day, I went to pay my respects to the Empress. The Empress talked to me until dinner was about to happen. During this period, I did not see Empress Wu coming!"
The person who spoke this was not someone else, but the noble man who was favored by Li Jian recently, Fang Jinse.
Chunyu Qing didn't expect Fang Jinse to stand up and speak for her at this time. She was surprised but knew that she would cooperate to continue the play. So, the case eventually turned into a matter of Concubine Wu going to talk to the queen. She didn't expect to accidentally fall into the well halfway. Her close servant palace maid wanted to go down to salvage her, but she ended up killing her life together.
Li Jian didn't say much about the result of this case, but he looked at Chunyu Qing with a little more alienation. The nobleman Fang explained to Chunyu Qing about his behavior: "Since I have entered the palace, I am destined to be unable to go out in this life. I want to live my life in the palace safely, so I must have a support. You are the queen, and I am willing to survive under the queen's wings, without asking for anything else, but only seeking self-protection. Don't worry, I am not a person who likes to speak very much, and even the emperor has praised this. Therefore, I will never say a word about this matter from now on."
Fang Jinse returned to his palace courtyard, sat silently on the soft couch embroidered a garment for the emperor. The maid who followed her into the palace asked happily: "I really want to help the queen? But we can all see that the emperor is guarding against the emperor. I am afraid that if the war is over, the Chunyu family's military power will be recycled by the emperor in large quantities. Once the Chunyu family loses its value, the queen may not be able to continue to be her queen."
Fang Jinse smiled, "So what? At least she is the queen now, and that Concubine Wu is just a dead concubine. I have become a noble person now, and the emperor often favors me. Before I knew it, I have made countless enemies in the palace. If I don't find a backer for myself, I don't know how I will die one day. Although the backer of the queen is not stable, I am not afraid. We still have time. When the Chunyu family collapses, we should become stronger."
Chunyu Qing did not dare to send people to Jiancheng area to find Xuan Tianhua. Concubine Wu taught her a lesson and made her more cautious. Although it seemed to outsiders that the queen had just dealt with a concubine, it was a common method used in the harem to compete for favor, and it was not uncommon. But only she knew the cause and effect of the matter in her heart, and it also made her understand that what she kept in her heart could only be kept in her heart. Once it was taken out, she would soon be retribution.
The gates of Tongcheng are still closed, and people live their own supply and sales in the city. The first few days have not arrived yet, but as time goes by, the disadvantages have emerged. For example, some people have begun to worry about the supply of rice and grain stores, and some wealthy families have begun to stock up on medicinal materials to prevent patients who take medicine all year round from taking medicines once the medicinal materials store is broken.
Of course, these are not immediate effects. For the people, the biggest impact is that the vendors who sell eggs, meat and vegetables have not set up stalls for several days. Poultry breeding is all on the farm outside the city. The city gates are closed and cannot be sold. After the stock is sold, there is no need to sell them again. Naturally, the vendors can no longer set up stalls. The vendors have no goods and the people can't eat them. So people started a new round of complaints and started to hit the drums at the government office, asking the governor Tian Ping to negotiate with Duanmu Anguo again.
Unfortunately, Duanmu Anguo would not open the city gate, and Tian Ping had no choice but to discuss with the rich households and let them divide the meat, eggs and food stocked at home to temporarily meet the needs of other people.
Feng Zhaolian still lives in that inn. The situation in Tongcheng has caused him to not eat the delicious snacks at the street corner for two days. Because of the lack of eggs, the snack shop cannot open, and the sign that was suspended was hung, which made him very depressed.
When it was Yun Duo, he went out and walked around and came back, he carried a pack of medicinal materials in his hand. She said to Feng Zhaolian: "I saw that my master had a dry cough recently, so I went to grab some medicine, saying that it would be brewed as tea to moisten my master's throat." While saying that, he made a pot for him and said: "Now people on the street buy whatever they see, and the medicinal materials shop is about to be emptied. I finally prepared this medicine."
Yun Xiao looked at the pot of tea that Yun Duo had brewed. Seeing that Yun Duo picked up the bowl and handed it to Feng Zhaolian, he couldn't help but get up and took the bowl of tea over: "Let it be left first, it's too hot. Remember, you can't use overheated water in the future, and the tea taste will lose the taste of tea." After that, he winked at Feng Zhaolian again, then placed the tea bowl heavily on the table, and then returned to his original position.
Yun Duo glanced at Yun Xiao, said nothing, stood on both sides, standing behind Feng Zhaolian. He just glanced at the bowl of tea from time to time, and after seeing the fifth time, he finally couldn't help saying, "Why don't you drink it? I'm really the medicine I received after finally squeezing into the crowd. It would be a pity not to drink it. You coughed six times the night before yesterday, fifteen times yesterday, and if you don't take the medicine, it would be even worse."
Feng Zhaolian has been feeling uncomfortable recently, her throat is dry and itchy, and she feels so uncomfortable. This is actually not a new problem. When she was soaked in Qianzhou in the medicine tank, she fell into the disease. She always had to suffer the last time every winter. In the past two years, Feng Yuheng gave a medicine that can be contained in her mouth to relieve it, which made her feel much better. But now in Tongcheng, where can I find that kind of thing?
