Chapter 41
It was past Xu, and the rich fragrance of flowers in the room had not yet dissipated.
Yingying's bright hair hung behind her, and her sweaty back was exposed as she turned her head, and the dark purple clothes had turned dark purple.
She was still very uncomfortable, and as her lover slandered her consciousness, she was also in a daze, but she would occasionally wake up. Now that she was being looked at by Gu Manru, she felt excited and she felt as if she was shivering. Her little face turned pale and red, and her lips were slightly open and stained with blood on Qin Rong's body.
At this time, the door was wide open, and the night wind blowing in rose up the fragrance of flowers after fragrance.
Smelling the intoxicating fragrance, Yingying's body softened and then fell back to Qin Rong. At this moment, reason and shame eroded her alternately. She couldn't help but bury her face in Qin Rong's neck, and her shoulders shook and bit the wound on his neck again.
"... Yingying!" Gu Manru shook her body in front of her, fortunately Xiaodai supported her in time.
At this time, only Gu Manru came in the inner room, and Emperor Wu Cheng stood with his hands behind his back in the outer hall, and Gu Mingzhi and Gu Lingxiao were standing beside him.
Eunuch Zhang blocked the other ministers outside. He brought the imperial physician down and lowered his head. Seeing that the imperial physician could not suppress his curious eyes, he wanted to look into the inner room. He sneered and asked in a sarcastic voice: "Doctor Zhao, what is the situation of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"
Doctor Zhao was so scared that he was sweating all over. He wiped his forehead and bent his body, and quickly replied: "Your Highness the Prince is fine, but he was knocked out by external force, and the back of his neck was a little blue."
It is conceivable how cruel Yingying had made at that time. Not only was the prince’s neck blue and purple, but Yingying’s own hands were swollen because of this.
In the room, the gauze curtain swayed slightly, Yingying was still lying on Qin Rong. Gu Manru couldn't stand the stimulation and wanted to pull Yingying up. Qin Rong moved and broke away from the hand that was being grabbed by Yingying. He pulled over the thin blanket beside him and wrapped Yingying, hugged her and sat up to stop Gu Manru.
"Mother Queen." Qin Rong's voice was slightly hoarse. He only put his hands on the thin blanket, but he didn't look at the person in his arms. He reminded him: "Yingying's lover whispered, and it has not been completely detoxified at this time."
It is no secret that the lover in Yingying's body whispered. At the time, she was exposed in front of Emperor Wucheng and other ministers in Jinghe Restaurant.
Xiaodai's nod confirmed that Yingying was indeed a lover's whisper, but the situation in front of her was not something that could be explained by just a word "detoxification".
Yingying didn't know what was going on outside. She was already hot and now she was wrapped in Qin Rong and was even more bored. She shook her shoulders and shook off the thin blanket on her body. Qin Rong quickly pressed her eyes and hands, pressed her big palm behind her and patted her gently twice, indicating that she was more behaved.
Yingying has been a female overlord for many years, but she is not easy to coax. But she is as obedient as a cat in Qinrong. After being comforted for a few seconds, she is honestly lying down and not moving.
Gu Manru took all this in his eyes, his expression a little complicated.
As a person who has experienced it, she can't see what the hazy expression on Yingying's face means, even Xiaodai noticed that Yingying was vicious and abnormal.
There was no outsider in the room at the moment, so Qin Rong hugged Yingying and told the story. Xiaodai had smelled the strange fragrance of flowers in the room early on. She had sharp eyes and found the discarded sachet on the ground, picked it up and presented it to Emperor Wucheng.
"This seems not an object from my girl."
Doctor Zhao took the examination and knew that Yingying was in love with a lover. He untied the sachet and checked it more carefully. Finally, he felt embarrassed: "The lover's sachet comes from a foreign land, and the dried flowers and herbs mixed in the sachet are not from the Northern Territory. I think they all come from the same place."
Doctor Zhao did not know about lovers. After learning about Yingying's symptoms in the house, he could only roughly speculate that the sachet had an emotional effect on lovers.
"Who gave this sachet?" Before Emperor Wu Cheng could not help but ask Gu Lingxiao.
Xiaodai shook her head, "I came back to help the girl find medicine before, but the fragrance did not appear in the house at that time."
In fact, the answer is already very obvious. The fragrance of this sachet is easy to stain people. Zhao Shi, who was chopped by Yingying, had already explained the problem. He woke up in time. When he opened his eyes, he saw several people standing in the house. Emperor Wu Cheng's eyes swept coldly and asked him in a deep voice: "Is this sachet yours?"
Prince Zhao Shi's face was pale and got up and knelt on the ground. He was still a little confused now. He was all blamed for being too careless. He didn't expect Yingying to have such a strong explosive and exerting force.
I don’t know how to get rid of my sins, the prince subconsciously searched for Yingying’s figure. Through the thin gauze tent, when he saw the Qin Rong sitting beside the couch holding Yingying’s arms, his blood was even more completely confused, and his throat rolled in a trembling voice, "Yingying..."
"You still have the face to mention her!" Emperor Wu Cheng was so disappointed with his son that he kicked him to the ground in anger.
It is undeniable that he was a bit hasty in his name to make this fourth son the prince, but Zhao Shi was indeed smart and outstanding as a child and loved by him. But how much he loved Zhao Shi at the beginning, he was disappointed with him now.
He pulled Zhao Shi's clothes and half lifted him up, and asked sternly: "How many more ridiculous things can you do!"
Prince Zhaoshi was pulled by Emperor Wucheng and knelt straight on his face. After the initial shock, he looked at the disappointment in Emperor Wucheng's eyes and said a sensation in his eyes: "Does the father think his son ministers are willing to do this?"
If it weren't for the favoritism that Zhao Xuan was better than that of one day, if Emperor Wucheng had not established him as the crown prince and secretly acquiesced to Qin Rong to cultivate his own power, if it weren't for the absurd and ridiculous destiny, how could he have been like this?
Emperor Wu Cheng slapped him in the face and asked him back, "Is it possible that I forced you to do this?"
Zhao Shi was beaten to the ground, and he turned his head and pursed his lips and smiled desolately. The rebelliousness and dissatisfaction in his temperament were all aroused by this slap, and he really dared to continue to beat Emperor Wu Cheng.
"Did your father think, are you really wrong?"
Emperor Wu Cheng was extremely angry, and all kinds of emotions surged in his eyes. He finally said, "My biggest mistake is to make you the crown prince. I should have killed you with one sword when you were born!"
Whether it is true or angry, it is too hurtful.
The atmosphere fell to freezing point, and the people in the house were frightened to kneel down when they saw this, "Ha Majesty calmed down!"
Prince Zhaoshi did such a thing, and Gu Mingzhi and Gu Lingxiao would not plead for him. The court officials outside the house didn't know what happened, but they only vaguely knew that Prince Zhaoshi had aroused Emperor Wucheng's anger.
Although Gu Manru also felt sorry for her niece, in addition to being Yingying's aunt, she was also the queen of the Northern Region and the nominal mother of Prince Zhaoshi, so she had to speak out to comfort her.
In this case, I'm afraid only Yingying, who is in the center of the vortex, has not sensed the danger yet. Her lover probably felt relieved, but because of the urging, the effect of love is soft and lying on Qin Rong's shoulder, breathing heavily and already falls asleep.
Qin Rong knew that she was still not feeling well at the moment, and wanted to help her brush away the broken hair on her forehead but it was inconvenient to do it, so she called Xiaodai to come forward and take the person away.
Xiaodai had long been unable to stand the atmosphere in the house, not to mention that she was just a little maid. Now she saw such a royal scandal. She hurriedly took her girl over. Xiaodai saw that Yingying was mostly sweaty, so she didn't lift the thin blanket.
As Yingying and Xiaodai left, Qin Rong finally came out of the inner room. His clothes were still straight, but his hem was slightly wrinkled. As soon as he came out, he knelt on the ground to apologize. Emperor Wu Cheng glanced at him and asked, "What's the crime?"
"It's all because my son's care is not good." Without explaining what happened in the house just now, Qin Rong focused on Yingying's lover's whisper, and he didn't come in time.
When Emperor Wu Cheng learned that Yingying had been a lover, Emperor Wu Cheng allowed him to feed Yingying an antidote every seven days. Now there is no problem with him taking his fault on this. Ingeniously, he helped Emperor Wu Cheng solve the problem invisibly, implying that nothing happened to everyone and Yingying.
Emperor Wu Cheng glanced at his third son deeply. He had been an emperor for many years and could not see what Qin Rong was thinking about.
Now if you want to protect Yingying's innocence, everyone must follow Qin Rong's words, which is equivalent to biting Qin Rong to death and just detoxifying Yingying. What's more, when they entered the house just now, they only saw Yingying pressing Qin Rong, and Qin Rong's hands were naturally hanging on both sides, and they did not touch Yingying.
Emperor Wu Cheng was silent for a moment, and immediately pretended to scold Qin Rong, which was considered to be like this.
Although Qin Rong picked herself cleanly, Zhao Shi was indeed lying in Yingying's house. Even if Yingying had Qin Rong's whitewash, it would not be possible that she would not leave any stains.
Just such an unwhite stain is enough to make Prince Zhaoshi have no room for maneuver. Prince Zhaoshi laughed after hearing this. When Emperor Wucheng sent someone to pull him down, he laughed and praised Qin Rong: "The third brother is really a good chess step by step."
Killing people invisibly makes people feel cold all over, and calmly makes people fall into hell.
That night, the ministers learned that Zhao Shi had walked into the wrong room of the Gu girl's family while drunk. Fortunately, the third palace came down to detoxify Miss Gu in time and stopped him. Because Zhao Shi was ridiculous in his actions, he woke up drunk and did not repent and even dared to contradict him. The emperor was furious and imprisoned him in the room and summoned all the ministers to the imperial study room overnight to discuss important matters.
This was an extremely chaotic night, and Yingying didn't recover until midnight.
When she woke up, Xiao Dai had already washed and stuffed into the thin quilt. Qing Bo was too quiet inside, and she moved her body and felt a little uncomfortable somewhere.
With this slight pain, Yingying quickly recalled the scenes before. After all, she was unconscious at that time, so she could only remember the vague scene. In the scene, she hugged Qin Rong tightly, and chased Qin Rong and kissed her when she was so hot that she couldn't bear it. Then...
Yingying sat up from the couch, and her little face, which had recovered her complexion, turned red in an instant.
Although she was the only one in the room at this time, Yingying was still curled up in the corner of the couch with shame. She bit the quilt and failed to relieve her emotions. She picked up the pillow beside her and hugged it in her arms. However, she found a wrinkled cold handkerchief under the pillow.
This veil...
Some scenes were uncontrollably penetrated into my mind, and Yingying blushed even more violently, and she threw the veil on the ground without thinking.
She put this scarlet cold handkerchief on her pillow. It was too hot these days, and Yingying always sweats when she woke up at night, so she asked Xiaodai to prepare a handkerchief on her pillow to wipe her sweat. But she didn't expect that before she could use the handkerchief, she just took advantage of Qin Rong's hands.
The light veil is not very heavy, even if Yingying uses great force, it just makes it fall on the edge of the couch.
Yingying felt uncomfortable when she saw it, so she raised her foot and kicked the handkerchief under the bed with anger. Because the noise was too loud, Xiaodai, who was sleeping outside the room, got up and went in to check it. Yingying quickly lay down and pretended to be asleep.
"Girl?" Xiaodai rubbed her eyes and walked a few steps into the house, her voice making a very light.
Yingying tried hard to control her breathing, but when she thought of the veil thrown under the bed, she couldn't help but lift it up again. She was afraid that Xiaodai would come close and see it, so she grabbed the thin blanket with her fingertips and sweated a little. Fortunately, Xiaodai didn't notice Yingying was awake in the blur, so she quickly closed the door and went out again.
When the outside of the house became quiet, Yingying quickly got up to pick up the veil on the ground.
Although the fragrance of flowers in the house had dissipated, the handkerchief still had a bit of a greasy fragrance. Yingying took it and threw it away, and she was not hiding or panicking. She walked around the ground barefoot, and finally gritted her teeth and stuffed it under the pillow, preparing to find an opportunity to burn it tomorrow.
Although Yingying had vague memories that night, she fainted and didn't know how to take it. When she woke up the next day, she heard Xiaodai's story and realized that the prince was seized from power and imprisoned. Although Yingying's reputation was preserved, it still had a bad impact.
Yingying has never cared about what others think of herself, not to mention that her reputation in her previous life was much worse than that at this moment, so she didn't care, but the Gu family was worried about it for a night.
When she heard that Yingying had woken up, Gu Manru ran over early in the morning. She held Yingying's hand and looked sad. She hesitated for a long time before asking Yingying: "Last night... what happened to the prince when you were the same sign, right?"
Yingying couldn't hear this name the most now, so she turned her head and replied: "No! I knocked him out."
"That's good, that's good."
Gu Manru didn't think that Prince Zhaoshi had succeeded. He asked this out of caution. What she wanted to ask the most was the following sentence: "Then you and Qinrong..."
Yingying lost her toughness before, not to mention that Gu Manta was too early, and the veil she pressed under the pillow had not had time to deal with.
After a moment of depression, she replied: "My third brother and I are innocent, nothing happened."
This is not a lie. Although Yingying's memory is vague, she does not remember anything.
When she got up early in the morning, she carefully checked her body. Except for a slight sourness, there was no trace of her body. In addition, Qin Rong was extremely careful in doing things. Even if she helped her relieve the poison, she was just a brief relief and did not go deep. Strictly speaking, Yingying was still the perfect one.
"Take it seriously?" Although this is the case, Yingying's words were too powerless, which made Gu Manru suspicious.
She frowned and advised softly: "Don't feel shy about hiding this matter, you must tell the truth to your aunt."
After Yingying's rebirth, her face turned thinner. When she remembered that she dared to complain to her aunt about Qin Rong's not gentle on the couch, she couldn't tell what she felt in her heart at this moment, but she just bit her teeth and confirmed: "Yingying is really innocent with the third brother."
Xiaodai helped Yingying to confirm at the right time, "When I helped the girl clean it last night, I did not find the girl... cough cough."
Under Yingying's angrily staring, Xiaodai's face turned red and lost her voice. Gu Manru was relieved, and a smile appeared on her lips. The big stone in her heart finally fell.
That night, Xiaodai asked Yingying and told him that Emperor Wucheng summoned all the court officials to the imperial study room, and even Empress Dowager Zhaoxuan, who had ignored the government affairs for many years, passed by.
Although Queen Mother Zhao Xuan still has power to Emperor Wucheng, she still has many loyal old subordinates under her. It is obvious to all that she has always been partial to the third prince Qin Rong. At this moment, everyone knows what the idea was about.
The situation of the Taizi and the Party is over. I think that the behavior of Prince Zhaoshi this time has caused Emperor Wu Cheng's heart to be disappointed, and even Queen Mother Zhaoxuan could not tolerate it.
Yingying was burning a variety of things in the room. Listening to Xiaodai's description, she secretly threw the veil in. When the things were burned, she felt relieved and put out the brazier. Seeing Yingying's face, Xiaodai couldn't help but ask: "Are you not worried about the prince?"
Even she, a little maid, could see that this was obviously a sign of deposing the prince.
The moonlight outside the window is clear. Due to the incident of the prince, Jiuhua Palace has been quieter day by day in recent days.
Seeing that her girl had not answered for a long time, Xiaodai sighed and carried the basin out. She thought that Prince Zhaoshi's behavior really hurt her girl's heart, but she didn't know that after she left, Yingying answered her with the loneliness of the room.
She said: "What's the use of worrying?"
She knew this result in her previous life, but she didn't expect that the prince of Zhaoshi would be deposed for such a thing in two lifetimes.
According to the development of his previous life, the prince Zhaoshi was deposed after returning to the imperial city, and his four sons were defeated and three sons rose up. Together with this imperial edict was the marriage letter between Yingying and Qin Rong.
