half life slave

Concubine Hui wanted to stop her, but she saw Yunluo break free from the crowd like crazy, rushed forward in a few steps, and threw herself down in front of the queen, "Your Majesty, please forgive me, Empress Madam, this servant knows that the matter cannot be covered up, but please forgive me, Master, she will It was just a moment of loneliness that led to being seduced by that person...it was because that person harbored evil intentions..."

Qin Ruozhen raised his hand, and asked sharply, "What do you mean that someone harbors evil intentions and dares to seduce Concubine Hui? Please explain carefully, or I will order someone to take you to the Punishment Department for interrogation immediately."

Yunluo was so frightened that her liver and gallbladder were torn apart, she fell on the ground and trembled, "Empress, master... the master was tempted by an adulterer, because the master was pregnant, and Long Live God hadn't come to Xiefang Hall for a long time, that man took the opportunity to seduce the master, Said that he wished to relieve the loneliness of the master, in the deep palace, the master took his power, so he stumbled... It was not the master's fault, that person bought the highness of Xiefang, and made a pornographic painting for the master..."

"Emotional painting?" Qin Ruozhen's voice suddenly rose, his eyes were full, "Where is this painting now?"

Yunluo looked at Concubine Hui, then at Rong Yu, kowtowed and said, "It's in the master's bedroom! Your Majesty will find out if someone searches."

Without hesitation, Qin Ruozhen ordered someone to search, and the result was as expected, a picture of a lotus was found.

Although the painting is a picture of lotus, it is completely different from the simple lotus sketch painted by Rongyu earlier. It didn't even draw the scene of Taiye Pond, but drew a clear and shallow Furong Pond nearby, with a figure standing in the middle A handsome young man, and in the distance is a girl leaning on the rolling curtain, peeking at this handsome man.

At first glance, you can tell that this is a story about the Western Jin Dynasty - the famous handsome man Han Shou at that time went to pay homage to the Taiwei Jia Chong's mansion. Jia Chong's daughter Jia Wu hid behind the curtain and peeped because of his beauty Afterwards, Jia Chong heard that his daughter liked Han Shou very much, so it became a good thing for the two of them.

Li Yishan once wrote an untitled poem that says that the Jia family peeps through the curtain and Han Yu is few, and the concubine Mi stays as a pillow for Wei Wangcai.In the heart of spring, there will be no competition for flowers, an inch of lovesickness and an inch of gray.In the poem, Jia's peeking at the curtain is talking about this allusion.

As for the inscription and postscript, it is completely generous, writing the three rather ambiguous words of lovesickness.

"What a concubine Mi is staying with Wei Wangcai, she really has evil intentions. Tell the truth, who is this person who dares to covet the concubine?" Concubine Hui rolled her eyes when she heard this, and she almost lost her breath when she saw it .Although Yunluo whispered in a low voice but she was very firm, she waved her hand and pointed at Rong Yu, "It's him!"

Since the painting was found, Rong Yu has already understood their strategy. He did make a lotus painting at the invitation of Concubine Hui, but it was just a sketch of lotus flowers.

Because he had suspicions earlier, he ordered Wei Yan to investigate Yunluo's details, and knew that she was bought by the queen, so he had paid attention to her family at that time.Hearing this, he didn't panic, and just cupped his hands and said, "I did draw a picture of lotus flowers at the order of my mother, but it's not this one. This painting is the result of subcontracting. I didn't dare Having an affair with the empress, please don't listen to the villain's slander."

Shen Hui nodded, but his brows did not open. Cui Jinglan from the other side had already said first, "That may not be the case. Who knows that the factory master holds great power in the inner court. One person is less than ten thousand, and the palace expenses are all up to you. Even if I wanted some spices a few days ago, the palace people had to ask the factory owner for instructions. In this way, it is not surprising that Concubine Hui was lonely for a while, afraid of being left out, and being seduced by traitors. Didn't it happen in the previous dynasty? The inspector of ceremonies and the imperial concubine don't know the secrets."

Shen Hui's eyes were sharp, and he glanced at her. She was startled immediately, and hurriedly stopped talking. Princess Qi interrupted, "You talk too much, children, please don't interrupt. There are Long Live Lord and Empress here." call the shots."

Concubine Hui couldn't sit still for a long time, she was helped by the maid, and she stepped forward with her stomach straight, "Your Majesty, this concubine has been wronged. There is no way this concubine would do such a thing, it's all because of this servant who spouts blood."

"Then what about this painting?" Qin Ruozhen turned to her, "You put this painting by your pillow every day, how can you explain it?"

Concubine Hui suddenly wobbled, seemingly powerless to defend herself, Rong Yu was not good at seeing her, so she stepped forward to face Yunluo directly, "You said that I used official business to seduce your empress, do you have evidence?

Yunluo rolled her eyes, "Why not? You have been in and out of the Xiefang Palace several times. Not long ago, on the night of Shangyuan Festival, you even asked your empress to pretend to be a palace servant and go out with you in a toga. How dare you say that you never came out that night? Have you passed the house, have you not climbed the tower?"

This answer was ridiculous. He really wanted to turn his head to look at Shen Hui, but he held back temporarily, and still pointed to the painting and asked, "Since you believe that I use the painting to tease my mother, you must know the four lines of the poem very well." I mean, can you read?"

Unexpectedly, he suddenly asked such a question, Yunluo froze for a moment before saying, "The servants are only fluent in literary and ink..."

Rong Yu smiled, "Then you were the one who took the painting back then, and you didn't see the clues at that time? Why did you wait until now to report it?"

Yunluo was at a loss for words immediately, her throat moved, and she said flickeringly, "The slave girl was poor since she was young, but she only knew a few words, so she shouldn't be blind. How could she know the deep meaning between the lines of the factory master's words? She thought it was just a gift for the empress. Later, when I saw the empress couldn't put it down, the slaves became more aware, and only after asking the literate servants did they know the story here."

"From being proficient in writing and ink to knowing a few words, you can change your caliber quite quickly." Rong Yu raised his eyebrows and said, "I'm poor since I was a child, I'm afraid it may not be the case, Qianliang Hutong is in the small courtyard of the Wu family, and there is a rice cooker in the house." The ones in the shop are not too poor, are they?"

Yunluo panicked for a moment, remembering that the handsome eunuch with a calm face in front of her was originally in charge of the all-pervasive Xichang, and she wanted to find out the situation at home, it was no problem at all, she understood the meaning of these words, he was threatening her.

There was a queen in the front, and a boss in the back. They were all characters who could crush themselves to death casually. At this time, she couldn't hesitate. Now that she had Qin Ruozhen's promise, she had to take a gamble. Anyway, after today, even if she couldn't survive In the world, at any rate, I can earn a bright future for my family.

"What's the difference? The servant can read, but he doesn't understand those poems. It's more than enough to read the account book. Is the factory owner questioning the lie of the servant?"

Rong Yu nodded, "It's good to know the characters. If I write another character, can you recognize the difference?"

After finishing speaking, he asked people to prepare a pen and paper, waved his hand and handed it to Yunluo.In fact, the four-line poem was still written, but the font was slightly changed. Yunluo read it for a long time, and thought about it in her heart. Now that she knew how to read, it was difficult to cover it up. "This word is written incorrectly, but the central point is missing. Apart from that, the font has changed, but the factory owner is talented, so it's not unusual for him to be able to do this."

Tolerance and interface, "It's not uncommon, and it's even less uncommon for my minister's characters to be imitated by others. I can't prove that the paintings and characters were written by people, but looking at this character Mi, I know that it is impossible for me to do it."

He turned around and bowed his hands deeply, "Your Majesty, do you still remember that I once said that there is a sister, and the small characters are Mi. To avoid taboos, every time I write this character, I will write less of the central point."

What he said was in small characters. The names of ancient women are not familiar to outsiders. He knows that the original owner of this body also has an older sister. Fu from Luoshen.The names of the two brothers and sisters are all derived from poems, and the parents should hope that they can have a beautiful life like poetry, but unfortunately things backfired in the end.

He never told Shen Hui this story, and he saluted Shen Hui because he was betting this time, betting that he absolutely believed in his innocence, betting that he was willing to make excuses to exonerate himself.

Shen Hui frowned and thought about it, then nodded for a long time and said, "I remembered, there was one time when I came across the character Mi, Rong Yu did miss that point, after checking it, I only thought that the ink was dry and I didn't pay attention , and added that point for him."

The emperor personally verified it, and no one else could question it.Then the authenticity of this painting and this word will be greatly reduced.

Concubine Hui said angrily, "This lowly servant girl is lying! This painting was dropped in the middle of the package, and it was planned to be framed by someone long ago. Please ask me to find out."

While speaking, Yan Shouzhong and the others had already controlled Yunluo first, and there should be no more situations where one person dies tragically in front of the empress.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty." Yunluo shouted recklessly as her arms were twisted, "everything this servant said is true, he is indeed interested in the master, and the two even took advantage of the night to watch the fireworks on the top of the Donghua Gate. .”

This matter can be verified by others.Shen Hui immediately passed the news to the city guards, but those people didn't know what happened, but admitted that they had seen this scene.Du Na, the leader of the guards, was Wei Yan's brother at that time, rolled his eyes, cupped his hands and replied, "Although the man I saw that night was quite tall, but it was dark that day, and I really couldn't see all of them." appearance."

Someone whispered quietly, "Secretly, if you can see people, why bother!?"

The leader of the guard said, "Not only is that man quite tall, but also his figure and movements are very vigorous. He really doesn't look like a woman, and his mother is pregnant, but I clearly remember that that man is all the way. Come running."

"That's right, they were running." Someone echoed, "I still remember that there was a wind that night, and I seemed to smell a scent of ambergris."

Qin Ruozhen was excited, and said, "Bold, who would dare to be so presumptuous?"

Concubine Hui followed Tengdi to her feet, she couldn't bear it anymore and said, "This can be proven, but it's just you who spouted blood."

Just finished speaking, she fell down on the chair again, only to hear the palace servants on both sides tremble, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty is not well, she is bleeding..."

Qin Ruozhen's expression turned pale, as if he had finally waited for this moment.The crowd helped Concubine Hui into the inner hall, and then rushed to preach the imperial physician.Rong Yu stood where he was, thinking of the wave after wave, clearly aimed at him, at this point in time, it must be aimed at Concubine Hui and her flesh and blood.If he could be brought down, it would be less of a thorn in his side, but Concubine Hui was no less a thorn in Qin Ruozhen's flesh.

Qin Ruozhen reacted quickly, shook Shen Hui's hand, and felt relieved, "Your majesty, although a woman's childbirth is dangerous, it is not suitable for the emperor to come in person, and wait here, and my concubine will accompany you."

Seeing him withdrawing his hand calmly, Qin Ruozhen's face darkened, "It's just that the matter here is not over yet, even if Concubine Hui's matter is wrong, the sex tool was definitely found from the factory minister's room. Give me an explanation, he manages the harem by himself, so he knows the law and broke the law!"

"Your majesty please report. Please play if you have something to do." There was a familiar voice in his ear, and he turned his head to look at the hall. Lin Sheng was pulling up his clothes and prostrating himself on the ground. His voice was calm and firm. It is something in the private possession of the minister, and it has nothing to do with the palm print."

Rong Yu glared at him quickly, but he remained unmoved, and his eyes did not make contact with her.

Qin Ruozhen sneered, "How come there is another confession. This is even more strange. You said the thing is yours?"

Lin Sheng replied calmly, "Yes, I made this decision because Xiao wanted to be a court lady in the Clothing Bureau. I originally thought that no one would dare to spy on the palm print room. Who knows what happened today, I dare not Involving the palm prints, you should bear the consequences alone."

Shen Hui smiled lowly, and said calmly, "I think you still have a bit of conscience. For the time being, you will be fined for one year, and the commander of rites and supervisors will discipline and reprimand you." After finishing speaking, he turned to Cui Jinglan, his eyes were cold, "The way I handle it , have you learned it?"

Cui Jinglan didn't dare to look him in the eye, and lowered his head and whispered, "Long Live Lord is wise, Jing Lan has been educated."

Shen Hui looked at Qin Ruozhen again, and said calmly and gently, "The empress is too hasty about today's matter. It's about brother Xian. I can understand that you lost your sense of control for a while. In the future, don't forget to be so hasty."

Qin Ruozhen bowed slightly, and said calmly, "Yes, the concubine will write it down." Turning his head to look down at Rong Yu, "I just wronged the factory minister, and please take care of me. In my urgent situation, it is inevitable that I will be suspicious. Forget it. However, as the seal of the inner court, the factory minister must strictly restrain the people around him. It is best not to let what happened today happen again."

Holding his eyes down, he didn't want others to see the resentment in his eyes at this moment, so he nodded yes to her indifferently.

Until he accompanied Shen Hui out of the Xiefang Palace, Yan Shouzhong asked eagerly behind him, "Your Majesty, the wet nurse of His Royal Highness King Rong..."

Shen Hui's voice did not fluctuate, "It is said that the Zhang family chosen by the queen will enter the palace."

"Rong Yu, I have no choice." Walking on Tianjie, he suddenly stopped, his expression hard to hide his fatigue, "I can't judge Hu Zhen and Yun Luo, and I can't let people really recognize Qin Ruozhen and Princess Qi What a big palace scandal that is, these people are my relatives, my closest relatives...but they counted on one of my favorite eunuchs, because of the dispute between you and the chief assistant department, because I treat you well...do you understand? ?”

Rong and how do not understand, these words are more like speaking to himself.Back in the Nuan Pavilion, waiting for the news of Concubine Hui's birth, unexpectedly, there was still no movement in Xiefang Hall until midnight.

After waiting for an unknown amount of time, a servant ran over and stood in the corridor to report, "Congratulations to the emperor, Concubine Hui is born, and the emperor has another prince. It's just... it's just the empress, who suddenly suffered from postpartum hemorrhage. "

But after a stick of incense, the servant came back again, hurriedly walking, showing panic, "Report to the emperor, Your Majesty... is dead."
