[Qing Chuan] Gongdou system of black lotus

There was snickering in the yard.

Concubine Yi fell quite hard this time, and the skin on her palm was directly scratched. How could she have suffered such a crime for so many years, she was so angry that her eyes were red, and her maid rushed over and helped her up .

"Imperial Concubine, so you haven't slept." Yi Pin gritted her teeth and looked at Gu Qianqian.

Gu Qianqian smiled and looked at her, "Bengong fell asleep, but she was woken up when she heard the dog barking. Sister Yipin came to Ruyi Courtyard in the middle of the night, was she looking for a cat or something? "

snort!Yipin snorted through her nose.

Her eyes swept across the room, trying to find the adulterer, but she looked around, but saw nothing, Yipin was stunned, what's going on?

Concubine Yi panicked, she quickly shook off the maid's hand, endured the pain in her knee, and wanted to search the house.

However, Gu Qianqian grabbed her hand and stared at Concubine Yi, "Concubine Yi, although I am magnanimous, I don't care about you disturbing Bengong to rest in the middle of the night, but this is my house, are you too much?" Don’t treat yourself as an outsider anymore? I don’t allow others to walk around in my house.”

Seeing her calm smile, Concubine Yi became more and more flustered. If there is really an adulterer, shouldn't Concubine Xian be so calm?Could it be that Concubine Gao's people messed up the matter?This is impossible.Concubine Gao's calculation even made her back feel numb after hearing it. Unless Concubine Xian has great skills, how could she escape this disaster?

Yipin's eyes flicked around the room, and suddenly, she saw a corner of a garment protruding from the mouth of the box in the corner.

In an instant, Yipin felt that she had caught on Concubine Xian!It turned out that the adulterer didn't come, but was hidden by Concubine Xian, now it's all right, if someone sees Concubine Xian hiding the adulterer in the box, no matter how many mouths Concubine Xian has, it's hard to tell.

"Imperial concubine, are you guilty of being a villain?" With her heart stabilized, Yi Concubine's tone became arrogant. She already regarded Gu Qianqian as her defeat, so naturally she was no longer afraid of her.

"I'm guilty of being a thief?" Gu Qianqian was about to laugh angrily, she sneered, "I dare you to search, but do you dare to pay the price?"

"Of course you dare!" The more Gu Qianqian refused, the more she refused, and Yipin became more and more convinced that she had a ghost in her heart. Looking at Gu Qianqian's rosy complexion due to anger at this time, she also thought it was the tide/redness after happiness .

"Okay, Nanny Cai, you have to be a witness. Concubine Yi said this herself," Gu Qianqian said to Concubine Yi, "If you can't find anything, I will ask you to slap me fifty times tonight."

"Yes!" Yipin did not give in at all.

Nanny Cai was originally the kind of person who is better at doing less than doing more, but because what Concubine Yi did tonight was too irritating, she completely stood by Gu Qianqian, "I see."

Concubine Yi couldn't help cursing something old in her heart, she pushed Gu Qianqian away, strode into the room, and when she got to the side of the box, she said to Gu Qianqian: "Your Majesty, you can watch it."

After saying this, she lifted the lid of the box and looked at Gu Qianqian with a smug expression on her face, "How is it? No matter how deep you are hiding, you will be discovered by me, too?"

Everyone looked at the box of clothes, and couldn't help looking at Yipin like a fool.

Yipin felt unwell from everyone's eyes. She looked at Gu Qianqian again, and saw her arms crossed, her lips curled up, showing a sneer of disdain. Yipin's heart panicked instantly. She looked towards the box, I saw that the clothes worn by Gu Qianqian were neatly placed in the box, and the corner of the clothes she saw just now was just one of them.

Yipin's legs went limp and she almost fainted.

At this moment, there was a burst of screaming from the east.

Cai Momo and the others were taken aback. Gu Qianqian knew that something had happened to Concubine Gao, and with a puzzled expression on her face, she said to Cai Momo: "Mommy, you go to Seventh Brother's side to guard, I go to the Palace See what's going on over there?"

"Yes." Only then did Mammy Cai think of Seventh Brother, and now Seventh Brother is sleeping in Gu Qianqian's room. This child sleeps deeply, and once he falls asleep, even if there is a thunderstorm, he won't be able to wake him up. Little child, Madam Cai was also afraid that he would be startled, so she hurried to his room.

When Gu Qianqian and the others followed the voice and walked all the way to Concubine Gao's courtyard, before they entered, they heard Qianlong's furious scolding from inside: "Pull you away!"

Gu Qianqian's footsteps paused, and a trace of coldness flashed across her eyes. It seemed that Qianlong was really angry, otherwise she wouldn't have called herself me instead of Zhen.

She walked quickly into the courtyard with someone, and heard Concubine Gao's crying and self-defense, "Long live, my concubine, my concubine did not commit adultery with this man."

The guards guarding in the yard didn't even dare to raise their heads, and they all lowered their heads, wishing that they didn't have ears or eyes, otherwise they wouldn't know about this royal scandal.

When Gu Qianqian walked past Fucha Fu Heng, he raised his eyes coldly and glanced at her, his eyes were like two knives, Gu Qianqian looked as usual, and walked into the room without even stopping.

The room was in a mess. There was a man lying on the ground with a bruised nose and a swollen face. His face was covered with blood. Even his face was unrecognizable. Two eunuchs held him down and prevented him from moving. Concubine Gao was lying on the bed, wrapped in Wearing a quilt, the court ladies and eunuchs stood on both sides, not daring to take a breath.

"Long Live Lord, the concubine came over when she heard the noise, what's wrong with Concubine Gao?" Gu Qianqian frowned with a puzzled look on her face.

When Concubine Gao saw Gu Qianqian, the anger and hatred in her heart turned into magma and burst out, "Ulanara, you don't need to pretend to be merciful, isn't this person sent by you?"

Gu Qianqian's eyes widened, her eye sockets turned red immediately, and she clenched her hands tightly together, "Sister Gao Concubine, what do you mean by that, what is this person, I just came here, who are you talking about? This palace doesn't even know."

"You still want to quibble, you didn't harm me, who would harm me?" Concubine Gao's tone was full of hatred.

Hearing these words, Qianlong glanced at Gu Qianqian, Gu Qianqian showed an aggrieved look, "Long Live Lord, this concubine really doesn't know what happened, is Sister Concubine Gao in trouble?"

"There was movement in her room just now, and the guards came to check and found that the eunuch was sleeping on the same bed as her." Qianlong stepped heavily on the eunuch's palm, and the eunuch gagged and wailed. No one can tell that he can't take this hand anymore.

"What? This, this is impossible." Gu Qianqian covered her mouth, her face was full of disbelief, and she blurted out: "Sister Gao is definitely not this kind of person."

Gu Qianqian's words were really unexpected.

Not only Qianlong was stunned, but also Concubine Gao, Concubine Yi and others were also stunned.

Although Concubine Yi said that she was surprised that the person who was caught raped tonight became Concubine Gao, she was not stupid, and soon thought that Concubine Gao might be tricked by Concubine Xian instead. Her thought just now was that Concubine Xian would definitely be impatient. She deliberately pushed the crime of adultery with the eunuch onto Concubine Gao, and killed Concubine Gao in one bite. She had already had an affair with this eunuch, but she never expected that Concubine Xian's first reaction was to speak for Concubine Gao.

This is really unimaginable.

"You don't think she committed adultery with the eunuch, but everyone witnessed it with their own eyes." Qianlong gritted his teeth and said, his face flushed, and an ordinary man would be so angry at being cuckolded, let alone the king of a country, tonight If this matter gets out, it will definitely be "left a name in history" in history. Qianlong was not mad because of his young age.

"Long live lord, my concubine does not want to believe that my concubine Gao will really do such a scandal. I ask my concubine Gao to investigate this matter thoroughly. If it turns out to be true, then my concubine Gao will suffer the consequences for herself. But if she is framed, my concubine Please, Lord Long Live, don't let the person who framed Concubine Gao's sister go." Gu Qianqian's words were sincere, as if they came from the bottom of her heart.

Qianlong's heart was moved, he looked at the eunuch, kicked the eunuch, and said: "Let him speak, I will interrogate myself."

Zhou Zhi who was next to him hurriedly tore off the veil that blocked the eunuch's mouth, as soon as the veil was taken off, blood flowed down.

When Qianlong saw it, he was stunned. He raised his chin towards Li Yu. Li Yu immediately stepped forward, pinched the eunuch's chin, looked at it carefully, and said to Qianlong, "Long Live Lord, this man's tongue is broken."

"Broken?" Qianlong was stunned.

Not to mention Qianlong, even Concubine Gao was stunned.

She knew the details of the eunuch, they told the eunuch to find Concubine Xian's yard to attack Concubine Xian, if the eunuch could speak, maybe he could help her, but with a broken tongue, he couldn't speak , and this eunuch is illiterate, this is all right, all the clues are broken.

"Who broke the eunuch's tongue?" Qianlong asked with a sullen face.

Everyone, look at me, I look at you, no one dared to admit it, just now when there was movement in the room, they hurried in and saw Concubine Gao rolling with the eunuch, they were frightened to death, if Concubine Gao hadn't asked for help, I'm afraid None of them knew what to do.It was a mess at that time, who had the time to pay attention to whether the adulterer's tongue was broken.

"No one admits?" Qianlong's eyes darkened, "If no one admits, they will all be dragged down and executed!"

This sentence made all the eunuchs and maids turn pale with fright.

At this moment, a notification came from outside: "The Empress Dowager has arrived."

Concubine Gao's eyes suddenly brightened, and when the Queen Mother came in, she immediately cried to the Queen Mother, "Your Majesty the Queen Mother, save me."

The Queen Mother was confused by the situation in the room. As soon as Concubine Gao spoke, she subconsciously patted her on the shoulder and said, "Who wronged you? What's going on?"

"Emperor Niang." Seeing the Empress Dowager approaching, Qianlong's face became more and more unsightly. This embarrassment was thrown in front of the Empress Dowager. How would he see others in the future, "Why did you come here?"

"If Ai's family doesn't come over, then it's okay." The Queen Mother snorted and stared at Gu Qianqian.

Gu Qianqian lowered her head and remained silent.

"Emperor, Aijia knows that you like Concubine Xian, but you can't let Concubine Gao be wronged for Concubine Xian." The Empress Dowager pleaded for Concubine Gao without any explanation, and Gu Qianqian almost laughed out loud.

Sure enough, Qianlong's face darkened, and he said: "Your mother, you just came here, and you don't know anything about it. This matter has nothing to do with the imperial concubine. It was the concubine Gao who was caught and raped by me. She rolled with this fake eunuch." My son is gone, I am interrogating this matter!"

Caught in bed!

The Empress Dowager immediately took back the hand that was on Concubine Gao's shoulder. She turned her head and looked at Concubine Gao in disbelief.Isn't Concubine Gao plotting against Concubine Xian tonight?Why, Concubine Gao shot herself in the foot?What's the matter? !

"No, empress dowager, the concubine did not do such a thing." Concubine Gao quickly shook her head, grabbed the hand of the empress dowager, and tried to explain, she knew in her heart that the queen dowager is her last hope, no matter what happened tonight, If she is not dead, she has to shed a layer of skin. If there is no Queen Mother to speak for her, I am afraid that her life will be confessed here.

But the queen mother slowly pulled out her hand, stood up, and said: "Is there any, we have to find out."

She believed that Concubine Gao did not do this, but it is not enough for her to believe in this matter, there must be evidence, otherwise, even if she pleaded for Concubine Gao, Qianlong would not let Concubine Gao go, and would even take her along with her. disgust.

The queen mother knew that her relationship with Qianlong was as thin as paper, so she couldn't act casually.

"I'm just looking into this matter." Qianlong's eyes were as cold as a knife's edge, "But the eunuch's tongue was broken, and no one admitted that he did it."

The Queen Mother glanced at the shivering crowd, and said: "The Ai family knows that you are afraid of being punished. In this way, if someone admits or confesses to see who broke the eunuch's tongue, the Ai family is willing to protect him from death."

Everyone had anxious looks on their faces, why didn't they want to explain who did it, but they didn't know.

Just when the Empress Dowager and Qianlong were getting impatient, Zhou Zhi suddenly knelt on the ground with a thud, "The slave is guilty. It was the slave who accidentally cut off this man's tongue with a dagger just now to help Concubine Gao."

After saying this, Zhou Zhi took out a dagger from his sleeve and pulled it away.

The eunuchs on the left and right stood in front of Qianlong vigilantly, "What do you want to do!"

Zhou Zhi didn't do anything, he just put the bloody dagger on the ground so that everyone could see clearly.

Concubine Gao looked at Zhou Zhi in astonishment, her mind went blank, no matter how she thought about it, Zhou Zhi cut off the fake eunuch's tongue, why did Zhou Zhi do that?Is it a coincidence?

No, it can't be such a coincidence!

"It's such a coincidence, what's wrong with cutting it off, but the tongue?" The Queen Mother also thought of going with her, staring at Zhou Zhi with old and sinister eyes.

Zhou Zhi lowered his head, "The servant was also careless, and he didn't do it on purpose. At that time, he only cared about saving the empress, so he didn't expect so much."

"Heh." The Queen Mother's eyes showed a sinister look, "Let the Ai family check his things, and in addition, call Manager Xu, there is a fake eunuch in the Summer Resort, and he cannot escape this matter. "

After a while.

All the things in Zhou Zhi's house and the manager Xu were taken away, and even the young eunuchs who had close contacts with this fake eunuch on weekdays were also arrested.

Zhou Zhi doesn't have many things. He is an honest and honest person. There are only a handful of such people in the palace. He can be called a scarce item. He has never known how to please people. Therefore, Concubine Gao rewarded him with things. Not many.

When his things were collected, they were placed on the ground so that everyone could see them at a glance.

A few broken pieces of silver, dozens of copper plates, and an old purse, nothing else.

Qianlong and the Queen Mother looked at the things on the ground and frowned. Could it be that Zhou Zhi really accidentally cut off the fake eunuch's tongue?

"Have you found them all?" The queen mother frowned and asked the little eunuch who was going to check.

The little eunuch hurriedly replied respectfully: "As for the Empress Dowager, the servants and others even took apart his bedding to check, that's all there is."

"It can't be such a coincidence." The queen mother is focused on finding evidence to prove that Zhou Zhi was instigated by others. She knows that the game tonight is very likely to be Concubine Xian who will fight against Concubine Gao. Since Concubine Gao cannot keep Concubine Xian, Concubine Xian Don't even want to stay out of it.

The Empress Dowager's eyes suddenly fell on Zhou Zhi's body, and said: "There is still no inspection on him, let Ai's family check it carefully!"

Zhou Zhi had a flustered look on his face, he stepped back subconsciously, but was grabbed by Nanny Zhou, who was not polite, stripped off Zhou Zhi's outer robe quickly, and touched him in his arms When there was something, Nanny Zhou pulled it out immediately.

I saw that the thing was a handkerchief, with a cloud embroidered on one corner of the handkerchief.

When he saw the cloud, Qianlong's pupils shrank, and he looked at Concubine Gao with hatred in his anger, "This veil is yours!"

Concubine Gao, whose boudoir name is Yunxi, has a habit of having a cloud embroidered on her handkerchief.

Zhou Zhi knelt on the ground dejectedly, "Your Majesty, a slave is incompetent."

Qianlong didn't understand at this time that Concubine Gao asked Zhou Zhi to cut off the eunuch's tongue, and the veil probably belonged to the fake eunuch, which was hidden by Zhou Zhi, and Concubine Gao just made a wronged expression In fact, she is not innocent.

you do not say.

This fake eunuch was serving outside, and he never went to the place where the concubines lived. If no one told him which courtyard Gao Concubine lived in, how would he know?

"Okay, okay." Qianlong laughed back angrily, "I really underestimated you, Gao Yunxi, you are so capable, you played me around, and tried to slander the noble concubine to frame you."

"No, no, Your Majesty, the concubine really has nothing to do with that fake eunuch." Concubine Gao hurriedly got off the bed, and she kneeled in front of Qianlong, "Long Live Lord, trust me."

"If I trust you again, I will be the biggest fool in the world." Qianlong said with a sneer, "Come here, drag this eunuch down, and I will execute him Ling Chi!"

Immediately, a eunuch came up and dragged the fake eunuch down.

When the fake eunuch heard the word Ling Chi, she was so frightened that she peed on her pants.

Zhou Zhi's face turned pale, and he kowtowed to Qianlong again and again, "Long Live Lord, this slave only obeyed the order of Concubine Gao as a last resort, please forgive me."

"Forgive me!" Qianlong glanced at him and said, "How can I forgive you if you help Concubine Gao do such a thing, if you drag it on, you will die with a stick."

Several eunuchs were about to step forward, but Zhou Zhi suddenly went berserk, picked up the dagger on the ground, and stabbed it in the heart.

He struck quickly and ruthlessly, leaving no way for himself to survive.

"Ah!" Several nobles screamed in fright when they saw this scene.

Gu Qianqian turned her face away and covered her face with a handkerchief, Zhou Zhi felt a pity.

But for what happened tonight, if she wanted to completely get rid of her involvement, Zhou Zhi, a crucial pawn, was indispensable.

"It's cheaper for him." Qianlong said displeasedly, frowning.

He looked at Concubine Gao, with a gloomy face, and said: "At midnight tonight, Concubine Gao had an emergency and passed away, did you all hear clearly?"

"Yes!" Li Yu and the others quickly agreed.

Concubine Gao's head froze suddenly, as if her spine had been taken out all of a sudden, she lost all strength, she fell to the ground slumped, and muttered: "I, I am innocent."

"Clean up all the people who should be cleaned up." Qianlong instructed Li Yu, and after saying this, he left with a flick of his sleeves.

Li Yu understood.

Gu Qianqian and others left Concubine Gao's yard one after another.

When Yipin was about to leave, Gu Qianqian stopped her, "Sister Yipin."

"Wh, what's the matter? The imperial concubine?" Yipin stopped, turned around, the smile on her face was uglier than crying.Tonight was thought to be Concubine Xian's unlucky night, but unexpectedly, it was Concubine Gao who got unlucky in the end.

"You seem to have forgotten the palm-to-mouth fifty just now." Gu Qianqian said with a smile.

clap clap-

Crisp applause sounded in Yipin's yard.

Gu Qianqian didn't go to Yipin's place to read a joke, but let Du Juan run over, and stared at Yipin's mouth for [-] times before leaving.

What happened tonight was messy, and she didn't want to make a fuss about it. After all, nothing happened. Gu Qianqian was not worried about whether Qianlong would ask about Yipin's breaking into Ruyi Courtyard at night afterwards.

The shame and humiliation of being cuckolded, after tonight, Qianlong would never want to think about it, let alone let anyone bring it up.If Concubine Yi and the Empress Dowager really insisted on talking about this matter in front of Qianlong, she would definitely not be the one who was unlucky.

But how many people died tonight.

None of the eunuchs and maids in Concubine Gao's house, Guanshi Xu, and the people who lived in the same room as the fake eunuch could escape.

However, Gu Qianqian did not expect that this was just the beginning.

After returning to the palace, the eunuchs suffered a terrible disaster. It is estimated that they were frightened by the fake eunuchs, so Qianlong ordered all the eunuchs to have a physical examination and make mistakes again.

In fact, the eunuchs will be checked every year. In previous years, there is a process. After all, the eunuchs who can really enter the palace are all cut off. How can there be fake eunuchs?

But this year, Qianlong made an order, and it came true. Some eunuchs were a little bit strange, and they were all cut off a second time.

After Gu Qianqian heard about it, her hairs stood on end.

Under such circumstances, no one dared to ask why Concubine Gao suddenly had an emergency, even if everyone knew that Concubine Gao was in good health before going to the summer resort, although there were some minor ailments, they were not fatal.

That night, the guards who saw that incident were all tight-lipped and did not dare to say a word.
