Under the Empress Dowager's signal, Lu Mo ordered the little maid beside her to bring up the tray and lifted the red cloth. 【 】
"This purple jade bracelet is not from the palace, where did it come from?" The things in the palace, whether they are rewards from the master or gifts from the concubines, are all recorded and can be checked. Everything is extremely valuable and there is nowhere to find it, so it has to be suspected.
"Report to the Empress Dowager, this purple jade bracelet is a gift from nobleman Lu!" Wei Ning'er said respectfully.
"Lu Guiren?" The Queen Mother frowned slightly: "Lu Guiren doesn't seem to have this thing either!"
Lu Yunxi immediately got up, knelt down beside Wei Ning'er, and said respectfully: "To the Empress Dowager, these are all concubines' faults. According to the palace rules, concubines are not allowed to bring anything into the palace, but this purple jade bracelet is for concubines. Gifted by Er Niang, my concubine secretly brought the bracelets into the palace at the beginning, there is a pair of bracelets, I still have one in my hand, and the other, because my concubine and Ling concubine have a good relationship, so I gave it to her!" Lu Yunxi said He rolled up his cuffs, revealing the purple jade bracelet on his wrist.
The Empress Dowager nodded slightly, and winked at Nanny Qiu, who immediately inspected the two jade bracelets carefully, and said after a while, "I want to report to the Empress Dowager, these two purple jade bracelets are a fine piece of purple jade. It is made of polished jade, and it should be polished and carved by the same person."
"Empress Dowager, the concubine knows that she is guilty, please punish the Empress Dowager!" Lu Yunxi said respectfully.
The queen mother nodded slightly: "Since it has been worn by your side for many years, let's keep it, and don't do it again in the future!"
"Yes, my concubine thanks the Empress Dowager!" Lu Yunxi did not expect that the Empress Dowager would spare her, and immediately said respectfully.
At this time, Lu Mo lifted the cloth on another tray, revealing a full-body emerald green jadeite pendant, the delicate green color is extremely rare, and it is difficult to see such a transparent jadeite among the tributes in the palace. What's even more rare is that the shape of the jade pendant turned out to be a lifelike phoenix about to fly.
"What a rare emerald and phoenix pendant!" Concubine Xian, who had been silent all this time, said in amazement.
"That's right, it's the first time I see this concubine, I never thought that my concubine would have such a good thing." Yi concubine pretended to be envious.
But Concubine Jia and the others looked at Wei Ning'er worriedly, not daring to say more.
"Concubine Ling, where did this jade pendant come from?" The Queen Mother asked with a smile.
Not to mention other people, even she thinks this jade pendant is very impressive, so she has to ask clearly.
But at this time, the queen's face was already a little pale, and her whole body trembled uncontrollably. The emperor's expression was even more serious. He looked at the queen and Wei Ning'er, and seemed to have a little understanding.
"How is it possible?" Fu Heng looked at the jade pendant from a distance and muttered to himself, as if seeing something terrible, his eyes were full of disbelief.
"Reporting to the Empress Dowager, it was given to my concubine by my concubine's mother-in-law!" How could Wei Ning'er dare to say that this jade pendant was left by her dear Ama, after all... Her life experience is a secret, and no one should know that she is not Wei Qingtai daughter, and...the Wei family would never be able to produce such a jade pendant.
"Your mother?" The queen mother frowned slightly.
"Queen..." At this moment, the emperor noticed that the face of the queen next to him was getting paler, and sweat was still dripping from his forehead.
"Young lady..." Ruoyan was also surprised.
"Tell the doctor!" The queen mother said urgently.
"Queen!" The emperor saw that the queen had passed out, his face changed drastically, and he picked her up and walked out.
All of a sudden, there was some chaos in the hall, and the expressions of all the concubines were also different.
Wei Ning'er's face was also a little ugly, but at this moment she didn't dare to get up and follow, fearing that the queen mother would make trouble for her.
"You all step back!" The queen mother seemed to be a little tired, and waved her hand.
"The empress dowager, my concubine..." Wei Ning'er looked at the empress dowager hesitantly.
"Go back too, don't worry about today's matter, although Aijia is worried because you are favored by the emperor, and thought about getting rid of you, but it was just a moment of impatience, but there is no need to play tricks with you to harm you! "The queen mother said with some dignity.
"Yes!" Wei Ning'er nodded slightly: "The concubine is resigning!"
"Empress Dowager, you just let your concubine go away like this?" Lu Mo couldn't believe it.
"If you keep asking, you can't find out why. It seems that the Ai family is forcing a concubine to confess. The Ai family is tired. Help the Ai family to go back to the bedroom and sit for a while!" The queen mother showed a tired look on her face.
"Yes, Empress Dowager!" Lu Mo replied, and then she and Qiu Momo helped the Empress Dowager to the bedroom.
"Your Majesty, I don't know how that Lumo handles things. After she brought Mrs. Qi into the palace from the Fucha Mansion, she didn't tell Mrs. Ming that Mrs. Qi said that the concubine did have an affair with Fu Heng, but why did Mrs. Qi You said that!" After returning to Yimengxuan, Mu Yun said a little unhappy.
"I once heard that the second lady of the Fucha Mansion is an extremely stupid person, but seeing her today... I have underestimated her." Concubine Xian sneered.
"But Lumo..."
Concubine Xian shook her head lightly, interrupted Mu Yun, and said with a smile: "You must remember that Lu Mo is always the empress dowager's person, and the deceased Emperor Huixian's person. Now we and her are just getting what we want. Just need it, don't make her anxious!"
"Yes, I know this, but...Master, you have spent a lot of time and effort, but now you have nothing." Mu Yun was a little bit reconciled.
"Did you get nothing? Not necessarily. Some things take a long time to see, but... You must be careful in the future. If the Queen Mother finds out that I am behind the scenes, I will be ruined." !" Concubine Xian's eyes were full of seriousness.
"Master, don't worry, no one will be able to catch this matter!" Mu Yun smiled confidently.
But at this time, in the clear water and cloudy sky, the empress had already woken up, but her expression was a little dazed, and even the emperor spoke to her, but she did not respond.
"Your majesty, you should go back first, this concubine wants to be alone!" After a while, a forced smile appeared on the queen's face.
The emperor pondered for a moment, then nodded slightly and left.
The queen sat quietly on the bed, and took a long time to remove a jade pendant from her neck. It was a green phoenix jade pendant, which was almost identical to Wei Ning'er's just now.
"Chu Xia, go and call your concubine here!" The queen took a deep breath before calling Chu Xia into the bedroom and ordering.
"Yes, empress!" Chu Xia responded and left.
Wei Ning'er was already worried about the queen, so she was waiting outside the palace at the moment.
"Blessings and prosperity!" Wei Ning'er bowed her knees and said.
"Bring your phoenix jade pendant, I want to see it!" The queen held her jade pendant tightly in her hand, with a weak smile on her face.
"Yes, empress!" Wei Ning'er immediately presented the jade pendant in her purse.
"You are tired too, go and rest, I will send someone to invite you if something happens, I will send this jade pendant to you later!" the queen said in a low voice.
Although Wei Ning'er sensed that something was wrong with the Queen, she didn't dare to ask any more questions, so she withdrew.
After Wei Ning'er left, the queen took the two jade pendants in her hands. If she read correctly, the two jade pendants should be carved from the same piece of jade. The only difference is the words on the back of the jade pendant, hers The word "Yue Xi" was engraved, while Wei Ning'er's had the word "Ning". Gradually, tears welled up from the Queen's eyes.
That year...was the fifth year of Yongzheng. So far, the queen still remembers that on the first day of the Lunar New Year, Ama gave her this phoenix jade pendant, just because she will enter the palace for draft in a few months, Ama said , she is his most precious daughter, only this kind of jade pendant can be worthy of her, but she saw another jade pendant from Ama, which is exactly the same as the one given to her, so she asked one more question, which is for her? Is my sister Yueying's?
But Ama told her that Yueying was just a concubine, how could she be like her, she didn't ask any more.
But on that spring day, Ama passed away, and her sky seemed to have collapsed. In two months, she would be ordered to enter the palace for a draft. Without Ama's protection, she knew her own destiny, even though she came from a famous family. In the end, they will only be given marriages to ordinary clan children, or become concubines.
Just when she was in despair, it was her uncle Ma Qi who protected her and gave her the opportunity to choose the prince Fujin for all the women, and finally married the fourth elder brother.
That year was the most difficult and the luckiest year in her life. Ama died, and despite being disappointed, she was married to the emperor who was still a prince, and thus mothered the world.
But she would never forget that the jade pendant was the last thing Ama gave her, and it was also the most precious thing. She always wore it next to her body and never took it off. Even the emperor knew about it.
But now...another jade pendant appeared on Wei Ning'er's body, with her name engraved on it, and an answer was ready to come out, but she couldn't believe it.
"Mother Cui, go to the Wei Mansion yourself and pass Xueying into the palace!" After thinking for a long time, the queen finally made up her mind to find out about this matter.
Seeing Nanny Cui announcing her into the palace herself, and hearing what Nanny Cui said about the situation in the palace, Huang Xueying already knew what the queen meant by calling her into the palace, but she didn't have the slightest worry or fear. I am very happy.
"May the queen be blessed and safe!" Huang said respectfully as she came to the queen with her eyebrows lowered.
The queen looked at Huang steadfastly, and said after a while: "Sister Xueying... At the beginning, Er Niang ignored my pleadings and forced you out of the Fucha Mansion. She was used to being by your side since she was a child, but suddenly she disappeared. , Bengong didn't even eat or drink, and wanted Erniang to find you back, but she told Bengong that you seduced Ama, and Bengong didn't believe it... Later, Erniang also blamed herself because she misunderstood you, but ...Why is the jade pendant at Ning'er's place? Tell me, whose daughter is Ning'er?"
Huang looked at the queen, closed her eyes for a while, and shouted in her heart: Madam, please forgive me for deceiving you and everyone, but only in this way can Ning'er live better in this harem, With your sincere protection, she can live in peace and stability for the rest of her life. This is the only compensation I can give her as my mother.
"Empress, Ning'er is indeed not Wei Qingtai's daughter, but your Ama Li Rongbao's daughter, but... the concubine never seduced the adults when she was in the Fucha Mansion, and Ning'er's birth was just an accident. There is no power to change all of this!" Huang's words were full of panic.
"This purple jade bracelet is not from the palace, where did it come from?" The things in the palace, whether they are rewards from the master or gifts from the concubines, are all recorded and can be checked. Everything is extremely valuable and there is nowhere to find it, so it has to be suspected.
