[Red Mansions] Concubine Counterattack System

Chapter 124 Suspicious Empress Zhang Was Banned

The matter has been clarified, and everyone naturally dispersed.Liu Guiren smiled close to Lin Feiyu: "I really didn't expect Concubine Wu to be such a person. Fortunately, Sister Concubine Shu is blessed and has no way of her. Speaking of which, this is also the filial piety of the little prince, otherwise why is it such a coincidence?" Just rush to make trouble with my sister at that moment."

Lin Feiyu's face was not very good-looking, "No matter what dissatisfaction we adults have, the child is innocent after all. It is really chilling for Concubine Wu to act like this." After she finished speaking, she heard Zhang Guiren who was not far away breathed a sigh of relief.

Fang Guiren gently persuaded: "Sister Concubine Shu, don't be angry anymore, the matter has come to light, the emperor and empress will definitely give my sister justice, and my sister should take care of herself as soon as possible."

Liu Guiren answered immediately, "My sister has a plant of old mountain ginseng. My father got it from the mountains when he was an official in the north. It is very good. I will send it to my sister later. My sister must take care of herself."

Lin Feiyu seemed to have a better impression of them, she nodded and smiled, "Thank you, sisters, for your concern. We sisters should live in harmony, and those with evil intentions will not end well. Alright, so I'll be tired after a while, so I'll go back first."

"Farewell to Concubine Shu!" Liu Guiren couldn't say anything more after hearing this, and hurriedly saluted.

Lin Feiyu staggered back to Yonghua Palace in a sedan chair again. Nanny Zhou was talking and joking with a 30-year-old nanny. When she saw her, she greeted her with a smile and stretched out her hand to help her into the room. I'm back. I'm tired? There's soup in the kitchen, do you want to use some, master?"

"It's nothing, just serve the soup, just to warm you up," Lin Feiyu sighed after entering the house, "It's really cold in the northern winter, and my hands and feet are frozen when I go out once. Mommy, think about it. I'll make cotton socks and thicker sleeves."

"Yes, master!" Mother Zhou introduced Zizhu and Ziying after seeing Zizhu and Ziying help Lin Feiyu change her clothes, "Master, this is Mother Deng sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs today. Pregnant, afraid that the slaves will be too busy, so send them to help serve the master."

Mother Deng's rules and etiquette are not bad, and she has a kind smile on her chubby face, which is easy to make people feel good. , Master Fu treats his slaves and maidservants well and serves his master well, so the master and the little prince must not make any mistakes."

Lin Feiyu looked at her and smiled, which was similar to self-introduction but revealed a lot of information.Those who work in the imperial dining room must be the emperor or the emperor's person. No one else is allowed to intervene in such an important place. However, Madam Deng and Fushun are from the same hometown but were sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Obviously Fushun is only helping her secretly and confessing to her Take care of yourself and your fetus, this is someone sent by the emperor.

"Since Eunuch Fu is acquainted, I have nothing to worry about. I wonder what Mammy is good at?"

Aunt Deng smiled and talked about some of the crafts that all the nuns know. Finally, she emphasized that because she worked in the imperial dining room, she knew very well about food seasonings and even incense. She also knew more about dietary taboos than others. Do some kicking.

Lin Feiyu raised her eyebrows, since people said she learned it from the imperial dining room, she naturally wouldn't ask too much, who doesn't have some secrets in the palace?However, from what Mammy Deng is good at, it can be seen that she will be useful in the future. Si Shao really cares about children.

"Okay, there are no big rules in Yonghua Palace, there is only one rule, you must never betray the palace. Let Nanny Zhou tell you about the rest. Go down and rest for a day, and come back to serve tomorrow."

"Thank you, master." Madam Deng respectfully thanked her and retreated with Madam Zhou.

Lin Feiyu said to Zizhu and Ziying: "This Madam Deng belongs to the emperor, you should pay more attention on weekdays and see how her character is first."

Zizhu and Ziying quickly responded, very happy that the emperor cared about their master.

At night, Nanny Zhou personally kept vigil for Lin Feiyu, and after everyone else fell asleep, she whispered the news of Nail's return, "Master, you let your slaves keep an eye on Mrs. Zhang. She really met the two of them secretly last night. Nails It’s not easy to go up to inquire, so I can only follow those two people afterwards, and found that one returned to Qinghe Palace and the other returned to Chengyuan Palace! Mrs. Zhang doesn’t know what to do.”

Lin Feiyu leaned on the bed and tapped the quilt lightly with her fingers, she frowned in thought, "The empress has detained the palace servants of the Qinghe Palace today, you let them continue to stare, Mrs. Zhang's move should not be to identify Concubine Wu Well, maybe she still wants to involve the Empress Empress. But she is still too reckless, the Empress can't be brought down by just one person, and if she has a chance, it's serious to take out Mrs. Zhang and avenge this time."

"Master, even though Mrs. Zhang deserves to die, wouldn't it be a great thing if she could bite the queen? It's better to watch them fight, according to slaves and maidservants." Nanny Zhou moved closer and lowered her voice, "To speak disrespectfully, the queen's family background It doesn't appear that the Empress Dowager is still lingering on the sick bed, if the Empress can be pushed down, then according to the importance the Emperor attaches to the master, the master will definitely be able to go one step further!"

Lin Feiyu smiled and shook her head, "Nurse, I never thought of replacing him. This kind of thing can't be done. Our emperor is a shrewd person. Don't think he doesn't interfere with the affairs of the harem. Once he shakes his position, he will definitely investigate After all, I am living a very good life now, and I must not ruin my future. And everyone wants to ascend to the post, but they don't know that the queen is the biggest target in the harem. Children are the thorn in everyone's eyes and flesh. Concubine Zhen Gui once doted on the harem, how many people hated her? But in the end it was the former prince and queen mother's family who were targeted intentionally or unintentionally, and everyone was waiting to catch them."

Nanny Zhou was thoughtful. In the past, all the women in the harem wanted to climb to the back seat, but most of them didn't have that chance. It's rare that the emperor was suppressed by the queen mother and married a queen who was not obvious from her natal family. Meaning, "The master means..."

Lin Feiyu patted her hand and said with a smile, "It is enough to be honored and favored for decades like Princess Zhen Gui, but the prince is the one who can see what to do in the end. Spend the rest of your life in a palace? As long as we don’t make mistakes and protect the little prince, that’s fine.”

Mother Zhou felt that Lin Feiyu had a good idea. The harem has always been dominated by empresses and concubines. Compared with the two, empresses are more serious, and sometimes persuade the emperor. If they are not careful, they will easily displease the emperor. .Moreover, the empress is busy with palace affairs, so she can only work hard to grasp the palace power, and she is more likely to age than others, which is really nothing good in terms of it.Immediately nodded yes, don't mention this again.

In fact, Lin Feiyu did not say one more thing, that is, Si Shao is a nostalgic person. Anyway, the queen married him when his power was not revealed. Although the queen's father and brother did not help, but here In ancient times, as long as the empress stayed with Si Shao through the crisis, it would be considered "common adversity" in everyone's eyes. For the sake of reputation, Si Shao would not move the empress at will.

Three days later, Si Shao was invited to the Chengyuan Palace by the empress. After all, concubine Wu was involved, and her status was there. The emperor decided on light and heavy punishments, and Lin Feiyu and his concubines also sat side by side. .

There were a crowd of palace people kneeling on the ground, and Si Shao casually glanced at them, causing everyone's heart to tremble, holding their breath and not daring to move an inch.Si Shao took a sip of tea slowly, and said in a deep voice, "Concubine Wu did this?"

The queen sat beside him and smiled softly, "It seems so. A maid in Concubine Wu's palace confessed that she had seen Qiutang, who was beside Concubine Wu, sneaking around Bai Zhenshu, and Qiutang also confessed that it was Concubine Wu ordered her to take the juice of the Baizhen tree."

The two maids repeated their confession one after another, but Qiutang's face was troubled, as if she still had something to say.

The queen frowned slightly, hating this uncontrollable situation.Si Shao glanced at the queen and put the teacup back, and asked Qiutang directly, "What else do you want to say?"

Fushun took a step forward and shouted with a cold face: "Bold Qiutang, hide the criminals and deceive the emperor in front of the emperor, and you still haven't recruited them!"

Qiutang flinched a bit, looked at the queen, and suddenly burst into tears, confessed and kowtowed, "Your majesty, please forgive me! I don't know that this servant is used to harm people, but the empress ordered this servant to do this! This servant does not want to die. , I beg the emperor to be merciful! The slaves are wronged!"

Rock-shattering!The queen's eyes widened in disbelief, Lin Feiyu and the others looked back and forth between the queen and Qiutang in shock, the queen grabbed a teacup, threw it on Qiutang's head, and shouted angrily, "Bold! Dare to slander the palace?!"

The queen immediately turned around and explained to Si Shao eagerly, "Your Majesty, this concubine has never seen her before..."

Si Shao frowned and raised his hand to prevent the queen from continuing.He glanced at Lin Feiyu, saw that she didn't show any joy or expectation, nodded in satisfaction, and ordered Fushun to interrogate.

Qiutang said before that it was Wu Peiyi who ordered her to collect the sap of Bai Zhenshu, but today when she saw the emperor, she changed her words and said that it was the queen's order. This person's confession itself is not credible.But Qiutang confessed another court lady, Cuiyu, the second-class court lady of Chengyuan Palace.

"Your Majesty, I have collected the sap of the cypress tree and handed it over to Cuiyu. I really don't know that it is used to harm Concubine Shu. Otherwise, I would not dare to do this if I gave my servant a hundred courage. I beg the emperor to see clearly, this servant is wronged." !"

Fushun said with a cold face, "Then why did you say yesterday that it was Wu Fei's order? Why did you change your mind today?"

Qiutang wiped away her tears with lingering fear in her heart, "Concubine Wu was basically convicted yesterday, and my servant was detained by the Empress Empress. I can't say anything about this servant. I am afraid that my servant will be silenced, so I dare to tell the truth when I see the emperor. The servants are the masters!"

Fushun glanced at Si Shao, turned around and ordered Cuiyu to be brought up.Cuiyu lowered her head and shivered all the time, and when she asked her something, she said repeatedly, "The empress gave pearl powder to the servant girl, and let the servant girl mix it with the juice of the cypress tree and apply it on the ground of the imperial garden. The servant girl didn't know What is it for, slaves are wronged, slaves are wronged..."

Si Shao was so angry that he laughed back, "So you are all wronged, and this matter is all the queen's fault?"

Si Shao's momentum was terrifying, Qiutang and Cuiyu trembled in fright, they both shut their mouths and lay down on the ground without making a sound.

Si Shao twirled his fingers irritably, "Only the Empress and Concubine Wu have ever received pearl powder? Take out their pearl powder."

The queen sat on the side with a gloomy face, staring at the two maids on the ground as if she was looking at a dead person.Jinxiang took the emperor's people to get the pearl powder, but when she came back, she was full of panic. The pearl powder that the queen had never used at all was less than half!Jinxiang, Fang Nai and other palace servants who were serving the queen hurriedly knelt down, "Your Majesty, it is clear that someone has framed the empress. The servants serve the empress every day, and the empress has never used pearl powder at all!"

"Queen, what do you say?" Si Shao glanced at Mrs. Zhang indistinctly, closed his eyes and asked.

The queen took a deep breath, took the powder box and inspected it carefully, got up and gave Si Shao a blessing, "Your Majesty, my concubine has never made or used pearl powder, please check it out."

Si Shao asked again, "Concubine Shu, what do you think of this matter?"

Lin Feiyu lowered her eyes and replied respectfully: "Back to the emperor, the empress is kind and magnanimous. I believe that the empress will not murder the fetus in the womb of the concubine for no reason. Since the empress has never used pearl powder, but the powder has become less, then The only thing we need to do is find out who has access to the empress's powder box."

Si Shao opened his eyes to look at Lin Feiyu, Lin Feiyu's eyes were filled with grievance and anger.Si Shao sighed inwardly, although this pointed out that the empress' murder of the fetus was the motive, but in the end it was a well-regulated suggestion.Thinking that Lin Feiyu almost lost her child, it is normal to be defensive and dissatisfied with others, Si Shao nodded and let her sit down. If she is too rational, she will appear to be scheming.

The queen clenched the veil tightly, and glanced at Lin Feiyu coldly at Nanny Fang.Mother Fang thought carefully about the palace servants who walked around the room in recent days, and suddenly turned to look at Mrs. Zhang, "The slaves and servants have never made a mistake in serving the master, but Mrs. Zhang came early today to greet the queen, and personally put on the crown for the empress." Hairpin."

Everyone understands the implication of Mother Fang's words. In fact, the queen also thinks that Zhang Guiren framed her. After all, she knows that Zhang Guiren did this. Now that the finger is suddenly pointed at her, it must not be premeditated by Wu Peiyi, a no-brainer, right?Although Lin Feiyu was also suspected of taking the opportunity to overthrow her, Zhang Guiren was the most suspected.

Zhang Guiren looked at the Queen and Nanny Fang in surprise, got up and explained innocently, "The concubine has always been close to the empress, and often puts makeup on the empress before paying her respects. This... how can I suspect the concubine?"

At this time, a young eunuch walked along the wall behind the crowd and whispered something to Fushun. Fushun hurriedly bent down and reported to Si Shao, "Master, General Wu is seeking an audience outside the Shangyuan Palace. Prince Su also entered the palace today."

Si Shao glanced at everyone, got up and said in a deep voice: "I still have something to do, I will stop here for today, and the trial will be held tomorrow. The empress and Zhang Guiren will stay in their respective palaces for the time being. Fushun, put all the witnesses under custody. "

The queen's face was extremely ugly, but Si Shao had already strode out, so he had to salute with everyone, "The concubine sends the emperor respectfully."

The emperor left, the empress and Zhang Guiren were grounded, and the others would naturally not stay. Lin Feiyu still respectfully bowed to the empress and bid farewell.After leaving Chengyuan Palace, Liu Guiren saw that Zhang Guiren had left, but Fang Guiren didn't come out, so he went to Lin Feiyu and asked his doubts in a low voice, "Sister Concubine Shu, the most suspected empress is now, aren't you angry? How can you speak for her and be so respectful to her? Do you really believe that she didn't do this?"

Lin Feiyu raised her eyebrows and looked at her, "Before things became clear, I was naturally skeptical, but the empress is the empress, no matter what, the rules can't be wrong."

Liu Guiren smiled awkwardly, "The concubine has no other intentions, but is just worried about my sister, and three of you are involved in one incident... My sister must be more careful in the future."

"nature."

Liu Guiren repeatedly expressed the intention of clinging, but Lin Feiyu refused to pick him up. Seeing Lin Feiyu rushing towards the sedan chair, she felt angry but had to send her off respectfully.

Lin Feiyu sat in the sedan chair and finally showed a comfortable smile. It was really fun to see the group of people aggrieved. Although she had already prepared for the harem battle, she never expected that the queen would repeatedly attack her after only a few months of marriage. she.At the very beginning, she was drugged to avoid children, and now she is pushing Mrs. Zhang out to harm her children. If she doesn't have a system, how can she avoid it so easily?The queen's methods are rough but practical. Anyone who has just married and changed to another environment has the weakest foundation. If he uses this to make a quick move, it is estimated that eight out of ten will not be able to guard against it.

Cheng Lingsu said that the child-preventing medicine is strong, one use can prevent pregnancy for a hundred days, and if you use it several times, you will be infertile. Liu Guiren and Zhang Guiren have no children so far. Maybe it is the queen's masterpiece.Just like Mrs. Wang's straightforward accusation, why did she let others have the eldest son if she didn't give birth to a child? !

The plan for this time is not perfect, but no matter what the result is, as long as Lin Feiyu falls and has a miscarriage, it is very likely that she will be overly sad and short of breath while hurting her vitality, and in the end, she will be hurt to the bottom if she cannot take care of herself. , leading to physical weakness or depression in the future, isn't Jia Min an example?After all, Lin Feiyu is very young in the eyes of outsiders, which is a very likely result.

Lin Feiyu sits and closes her eyes to rest her mind. If she is asked to choose, she would rather choose someone like Jia Min as the mistress. Even if she monopolizes her husband, she will not murder others. Rui's biological mother, Aunt Tong, is like Aunt Tong, who lives in seclusion and lives her life in simplicity.Thinking of this, Lin Feiyu shook her head and laughed, what was she thinking?If the harem is as harmonious as the Lin Mansion, where else would she go to upgrade her missions?Could it be that my mental age is getting old, and I am starting to feel sad for spring and autumn?

The irrelevant people in Chengyuan Palace have already retreated, the queen stared at Zhang Guiren, and asked through gritted teeth, "How dare you frame me? Who gave you the courage?!"

Zhang Guiren straightened his back in front of the empress for the first time, with a face full of sarcasm, "How dare the concubine frame the empress? It is the empress who plotted against the concubine and the little prince is exposed, trying to use the concubine as a dead ghost!"

The queen swept the decorations on the table fiercely, "Presumptuous! Mrs. Zhang, I think I treat you well, but you framed me like this today. Hmph, do you think you can get away with this? Your Majesty can find out right and wrong." , then you won't be as simple as being demoted to the cold palace!"

Guiren Zhang took two steps back pretending to be scared, "Is the queen trying to scare me? Do you want me to plead guilty for you? Queen, do you dare to swear that you have never harmed the concubine Shu? Do you dare?"

"you!"

"Oh, the empress probably can't remember clearly. She has harmed so many people, how can she remember who she has harmed?" Zhang Guiren suddenly darkened his face, and sneered, "The empress still remembers when the concubine was pregnant. The one you gave birth to? The one that was aborted in less than two months? The concubine’s child also wants to call you aunt, have you ever dreamed of the concubine’s poor child?!”

The queen was startled, and sat down on the chair, "You...you are talking nonsense!"

"Oh, are you talking nonsense? You know it in your heart! You killed my unborn child and drugged me so that I can't get pregnant again. What kind of queen are you? You are the most vicious person in the world? Mother Yi Tianxia? What a joke !"

Zhang Guiren's eyes seemed to be poisoned, and the queen's pupils shrank. Mother Fang quickly stepped forward to block Zhang Guiren's sight, and scolded with a cold face, "Nonsense! Could it be that you still want to frame your empress? The emperor will definitely find out what you did." You just wait to go to the cold palace and stay there! Someone, throw her out!"

Zhang Guiren snorted and pushed away her hand, raised his chin, "Don't forget that this concubine has not been convicted, throw it out? You are not afraid that the emperor will ask what you have done?! Concubine will definitely pray for the child He often comes to greet the empress, empress, you should be kind to him, hahahahaha."

Zhang Guiren walked out of Chengyuan Palace laughing, turned around and looked at the huge palace with infinite sadness in her heart, her child!I thought it was because I was young and careless, and blamed myself for so many years, but I didn't expect it to be the murderous hand of the kind and generous queen!If the Empress Dowager hadn't informed her, she would not have known that she would never be able to conceive again. As the daughter of a low-ranking official, what hope would she have if she couldn't bear a child?It's better to put your life on the back of the queen!

Looking at the overcast sky, Zhang Guiren wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, thinking silently in his heart, child, will you blame me for not protecting you well?Mother is going to avenge you, and when mother takes revenge, she will come down to find you, so that you will not be left alone...

When Lin Feiyu returned to Yonghua Palace, the sixth princess and Si Ruohan were already waiting in the room, and when they saw her, they quickly sized her up several times from left to right.The sixth princess nervously helped her to sit down, "Sister-in-law, you scared me. What did the imperial doctor say? Is my little nephew okay? A few days ago, the queen ordered a strict investigation to prevent him from walking around. I was almost dying of anxiety. "

Si Ruohan held her hand tightly, with an eager expression on his face, "Yes, yes, as soon as I heard about it, I pestered my father to enter the palace. Did you go to interrogate the villain with the emperor just now? Who did it?"

Lin Feiyu's heart was warm, and she patted the hands of the two of them to sit down, "Don't worry, the child and I are fine, nothing happened. The result of the interrogation has not been reached today, and the emperor has something to say, so we will try again tomorrow." Lin Feiyu Fei Yu briefly explained the interrogation process of Chengyuan Palace.

The Sixth Princess and Si Ruohan both frowned, "My God, why is it so complicated, I feel like there is no good person anymore!"

Lin Feiyu smiled and took them to the inner room to reminisce about the past, and asked Zizhu to prepare exquisite refreshments, "You two are not married yet, why bother to think about these detours, since the emperor has already intervened, let the emperor handle it. You two Ah, just enjoy the quiet days before getting married!"

The two pinched her face in embarrassment, "You are so heartless and still teasing us, we are not worried about you!"

Lin Feiyu didn't hide and let them make trouble, and gave up with a smile, "Okay! The little girl will always remember her love for you two! Can you let the little girl change into comfortable clothes first? This headdress is about to bend my neck Already!"

As soon as the two heard her, Si Ruohan beckoned Zi Ying to come over, "Come and clean up for your master, you are pregnant now, so don't get tired, hey, it's my nephew or nephew ?”

The Sixth Princess snorted softly, "Don't talk about your marriage with Jinlan, a sister-in-law is a sister-in-law, of course she is a nephew! Hey? This is my sister-in-law and nephew, one level closer than you, haha!"

Si Ruohan went after her and beat her again.

Mother Deng was quite surprised when she saw how they got along with each other. The sixth princess is the emperor's sister, and the princess is the most favored girl in the royal family. The relationship between these two people and Concubine Shu is obviously unusual. Asking her to serve Concubine Shu well, it seems that I am really following the right master this time!
