Chapter 68: Blood for blood

Views:

In the Shou'an Palace, there is a coffin, the mourning hall is very simple, there is no spiritual card, only a sacrificial character, dancing with the wind in the cold wind.

Wei Yingluo tried her best to drag Hong Zhou into the coffin bit by bit with her teeth clenched. Hong Zhou was woken up, looked around, and found himself in the coffin with a female corpse under him. He was so frightened that his face was pale, and he tried to make a sound, but it was very weak: "You, what are you doing, where the hell is this! "

Wei Yingluo smiled and asked almost frantically: "He Prince, does the mandala powder smell good? This is Shou'an Palace, where Guo Taifei lived. When the late emperor was there, she could not be favored. When the late emperor left, she could only I live by selling embroidery, and my life savings is only this thin coffin! It's really unfair that a rotten person like you is born a prince, and countless kind people can only face the loess and work hard all their lives. Ah, don't you think so?"

After speaking, Wei Yingluo slowly took out a small wine jar, pulled off the stopper, and poured the wine from the wine jar onto Hong Zhou's face.

Wei Yingluo said happily: "Don't you like to lie in the coffin and enjoy the happiness of everyone crying? Tomorrow, everyone will know that the prince and the prince were drunk and climbed into the coffin of the old lady, for a while. If you're not careful, you just suffocate to death!"

Hong Zhou's eyes widened in horror, he shook his head desperately and begged: "Let me go, I was wrong... Please... I really know... I was wrong... Please... Don't kill me... Don't kill me!" His tears were pouring out uncontrollably.

Wei Yingluo burst into a laugh, approached the coffin, and asked in a gentle and low voice, "Prince He, are you scared, desperate, and regretful now?"

Hong Zhou nodded vigorously and said weakly, "Please! I beg you!"

Wei Yingluo turned pale and cursed: "My sister must have been very scared at the time, but who will let her go! I am the despair and pain you want you to taste when death is approaching step by step!"

Hiroshi's teeth rattled.

Wei Yingluo put her finger on her lips and said, "Shh! What's there to be afraid of, aren't you a royal nobleman, a proud man of heaven? It's so ugly to see such a snot and tears!" The concubine held the veil in her hand, wiped away his tears little by little, and said with satisfaction: "From tomorrow onwards, you will be a sinner who stained the body of your concubine because of drunkenness. No matter how much the emperor loves you, he cannot stop the world. Your mouth, your reputation will be a hundred times, a thousand times worse than my sister, I want you to love Xinjue Luo Hong day, stinky, ten thousand, years!"

Hong Zhou watched in horror as Yingluo was pushed onto the coffin a little bit. He pulled out the hairpin from the old concubine's hair with difficulty and stabbed it into his arm. The pain made him suddenly sober. The hairpin stabbed Wei Yingluo hard!

Wei Yingluo was stabbed in the shoulder, and subconsciously took a step backwards, Hong Zhou exhausted his last strength, tried his best to pull out of the coffin, and hurriedly escaped.

Wei Yingluo pressed her shoulders and quickly chased after her.

The lights in the imperial garden were brightly lit. In the pavilion, Hongli was painting the garden under the moon. He suddenly seemed to hear someone calling for help and frowned, "What's the sound?" Li Yu was about to order the little eunuchs to check, and Hongli had already left the pavilion. .

Hong Zhou saw countless people carrying lamps and showing relieved smiles, but Wei Yingluo followed closely. She took the initiative and tore her sleeves with all her might, revealing the wound on her shoulder punctured by the hairpin. She quickly walked over Hong Zhou and shouted: "Help! Someone, come here! Help me!"

Hong Zhou watched in disbelief as Yingluo hurried past him, and at the moment when she passed by, Yingluo turned around and gave him a wicked smile.

Before Hong Zhou could react, Wei Yingluo rushed out.

Hongli walked in front of the crowd, but Yingluo's footsteps were too fast and fell into Hongli's arms. She grabbed Hongli's cuff and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, save the slaves!" Hongli saw Wei Yingluo burst into tears, and for a while stunned.

Hong Zhou arrived panting, pointed at Yingluo and said angrily, "Brother Huang, this woman is going to kill me!"

Wei Yingluo seemed to be overly frightened, she hid behind Hongli and said in a voice that was about to cry, "Your Majesty, you and the prince are crazy, he just climbed into the coffin of the old concubine and wanted to take off the concubine's clothes! When I found out and stopped me, I actually wanted to kill someone!"

Hong Zhou was stunned and defended: "Brother Huang, don't listen to her nonsense, she deliberately led me here and wanted to kill me! She even gave me medicine, sealed me in a coffin, and wanted to suffocate me alive!"

Hongli looked at Wei Yingluo, Wei Yingluo clenched his cuff tightly, her voice trembling: "Your Majesty, and the prince are drunk, holding a murder weapon, the wound on Yingluo's body is the evidence that he killed him! If you don't believe it, you can also go and look at the coffin of Concubine Guo, to see if the clothes are disheveled and the hairpin rings are scattered—"

Hong Zhou threw the blood-stained hairpin in his hand to the ground and said, "That's why I was crushed!"

The crowd was in an uproar.

Hong Zhou felt that he had lost his words and said angrily, "I didn't mean that. She deliberately shut me in the coffin, and then crushed the body of the concubine!"

Wei Yingluo held on to Hongli tightly, and said with red eyes, "Now that the palace gate has been locked, you are a dignified prince, but you are staying in the palace wearing eunuch costumes. Making up such a lie, how can I, a weak woman, design to put the prince in the coffin, it's just ridiculous!"

Hong Zhou was furious: "You bitch!"

Hongli saw that Hong Zhou was dressed in eunuch clothes and his clothes were messy. He couldn't help but get angry and gave him a slap in the face: "Beast, look at what you have done!"

Hong Zhou took a half step back in disbelief, and said dumbly: "Brother Huang, how can you trust her, I am your brother! What is this woman, she—"

Hongli closed his eyes unbearably: "Stop his mouth and send someone to Shou'an Palace to investigate the scene."

After a long time, the guards who surveyed came back. The Shou'an Palace was full of alcohol, there were broken wine jars all over the floor, and the coffin of the concubine was also messy. All witnesses and materials were present, Hong Zhou was temporarily detained in the mansion, and Wei Yingluo was brought back by the queen.

A few days later, Wei Yingluo was building flower branches in Changchun Palace, Erqing came over and said embarrassingly: "Yingluo, Concubine Yu wants to see you..."

Wei Yingluo suddenly raised her head and met Concubine Yu, who then knelt down.

Wei Yingluo knew that this old concubine was Hong Zhou's biological mother, so she hurriedly stepped forward to help her, and said, "What does the concubine mean?"

But Concubine Yu refused to get up: "Miss Yingluo, I have just been to the Prince's Mansion. I know everything about the ins and outs of the matter. It was all Hong Zhou's actions that were wrong. I, my mother-in-law, apologize to you on his behalf!"

Wei Yingluo said lightly: "One person does things and one person is responsible. What does this have to do with the concubine?"

Concubine Yu had a pleading look on her face: "Hong Zhou is my own son, he made a mistake, and it was my poor discipline! Now he is in a coma and is in a serious condition. The imperial doctor said that he will lose at least ten years of his life! I know that ten years can't be repaid. With a full life, it will not dispel the hatred in your heart! So I beg you, come at me and let Hong Zhou go!"

Wei Yingluo asked calmly: "Prince Yu, you are here today, do you want me to tell everyone that you and the prince are just going to pay homage to Taifei Guo. I misunderstood it for a while and almost caused a misunderstanding, right?"

Concubine Yu's eyes lit up and said, "As long as you are willing to forgive Hong Zhou, no matter what conditions you put forward, I can agree!"

Wei Yingluo shook her head and said, "The Empress once tried to protect me in front of the Emperor. If I speak back now, where will I put the Queen?"

The palace maid Bailing next to Concubine Yu said angrily: "Wei Yingluo, you are a little palace maid, no matter what the status of the concubine, I kneel down and beg you, don't go too far!"

Concubine Yu raised her hand to stop her. She took a deep look at Wei Yingluo and said, "I don't blame her. Today, I came here to do my best and obey the destiny. Hong Zhou has fallen to this point, and I can't blame others! Miss Yingluo, I'm bothering you. "

Wei Yingluo watched Concubine Yu walk away with a thoughtful look on her face. Er Qing came over and patted Wei Yingluo's hand and said, "The niangniang is drinking watermelon juice again. You go in and serve and persuade her." Wei Yingluo Back to God, it should be a good sentence.

In the main hall of Changchun Palace, the queen looked unhappy and said, "Yingluo, you are so presumptuous, you are all in charge of this palace!"

Wei Yingluo pinched the queen's shoulders and said softly, "Niangniang, although watermelon juice is good, it is cold. You can't use a second cup!"

The queen said helplessly: "This palace orders you to pour another glass!"

Wei Yingluo pursed her lips: "What Doctor Ye says, the servants will do what they want. As long as they are nice to the goddess, the servants are willing to be punished!"

The queen simply couldn't do anything about her.

Suddenly, a male voice came from outside the hall: "Why is it so lively, what is the queen doing?" It was Hongli's imperial driver who came in person, and everyone was surprised and hurriedly saluted Hongli.

The queen immediately stood up and saluted: "My concubine respectfully invites the emperor to be safe."

Hongli held the Queen's hand and said softly, "The weather is too hot. I remember that you were always afraid of the heat, so you specially ordered them to bring more ice cubes. Do you feel better?"

The queen smiled and said, "I would like to thank the emperor for your concern. Yingluo has come up with a new idea this year, which is very helpful to relieve the heat."

Hongli frowned calmly, and then snorted coldly, his eyes fell on the wooden box beside him, and asked: "Is this thing, what's so strange?" Queen:

Wei Yingluo lowered her head and opened the box. Hongli stepped forward and looked inside the box. She saw that the wooden tires inside the box were covered with a layer of lead film. Layers of fruit, covered with a layer of quilt insulation.

Hongli finally became interested and asked, "What is this lead film used for?"

Wei Yingluo kept her head down and replied, "Returning to the emperor, you can isolate the heat from the outside world and keep the temperature inside the box."

The queen looked at Wei Yingluo with admiration and said happily, "In this way, it is very convenient to eat ice fruit or drink iced drinks at any time!"

Hongli thought for a while, and said, "Li Yu, go back and ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to mark two and send them to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and then send one to the Queen Mother!" After speaking, Hongli seemed to inadvertently say again: "Empress, I still There is one thing I want to tell you. After consultation with two imperial physicians, the prince and the prince are seriously ill and need to rest in peace. I can only wait for him to recover before thinking about other things!"

The atmosphere in the hall was condensed, and after a while, the queen sighed: "If the emperor does this, he must bear the pressure of the clan with all his strength, and suppress all kinds of criticisms against Prince He. You treat Prince He with such kindness, I hope he can correct his mistakes. , cherish the Holy Grace!"

Hongli spoke to the empress, but kept his eyes fixed on Wei Yingluo, and said with ulterior motives: "Hong Zhou is my own brother, no matter what mistakes he makes, he must be dealt with by me, and I will never allow anyone Take your place."

Wei Yingluo stood on the side respectfully, never uttering a word, but her fist in her sleeve was clenched angrily.
