Chapter 54
Seeing Wang Momo's worried expression, Su Ruiran only smiled slightly, signaling her not to worry.Although it is still unknown what is in this package, it must be opened to find out.She slowly pushed away Nanny Wang's hand, and opened the package layer by layer.However, as soon as the first floor was opened, a bloody smell came out.
She was taken aback for a moment, and the movements of her hands stopped, her brows were slightly frowned, and she couldn't help feeling suspicious.
Resisting the shock, she opened it little by little, and when she uncovered the last layer of coarse cloth, she was surprised to find that there was a bloody dagger inside.
The blade is bright red, and the back of the blade is bursting with cold light, making people daunting and shocking.
She was too shocked to speak, how could this be?Although she had expected that Xin'er would do something, she never thought that she would hide a bloody dagger under her bed. What on earth were they going to do?
She pondered for a moment, and suddenly realized that she knew what they were going to do.
In the afternoon, the camp was silent, the scorching sun was so hot that people could not open their eyes, and the cicadas were singing one after another, which made people feel irritable.
At this moment, outside Su Ruiran's yurt, the Queen, Concubine Li Gui, and Yan's mother and daughter have all arrived.
The servants held umbrellas for their master, the queen stood aside calmly, Concubine Li Gui stood in front of the queen, wiped her sweat with a silk cloth, looked at the group of servants kneeling on the ground headed by Mother Wang, and said displeasedly: The dignified concubine and the empress of the middle palace came here in person. Could it be that there is still a lady from the official family? I have to pass on, hum, a joke, I don’t have to do this when I see the emperor. Could it be that she, Su Ruiran, has no dignity at all? And the queen in your eyes?"
"Your Majesty, calm down!" Wang Momo knelt down and said in a fearful tone, "Miss is unwell and has just fallen asleep, if she greets the Empress and Imperial Concubine in such disheveled clothes, that would be disrespectful, not disrespectful to the two Empresses." what."
Yan Shi said at this moment: "I'm not feeling well? How could it be? I saw that Rui Ran was fine when she came to drink tea in my room just now, talking and laughing, and I didn't see any discomfort at all. I'm afraid it's just a prevarication."
Concubine Li Gui's complexion sank, she "hummed" for a moment, then took another step forward, walked up to Wang Momo and looked down at her, "Stop talking nonsense, get out of the way."
Nanny Wang still didn't move, Concubine Li Gui kicked over, kicked Nanny Wang to the side, and walked in with her servants.
"Your Majesty." Xianrui looked sideways at Empress Jing's face, frowning slightly.The empress is the lord of the palace, and everything should come first, but the imperial concubine and empress rushed to the front regardless of etiquette.
The queen remained calm, but her complexion was slightly ugly.Hasn't it been like this all these years?She didn't speak, and followed in with Xianrui.What is the purpose of Concubine Li Gui calling her here today, how could she not know?
As soon as she entered the room, Su Ruiran was already fully dressed and stood up to greet her. Seeing the empress and concubine Li saluting respectively, she said, "My servant, see empress empress, empress imperial concubine."
She saluted the Queen first, and the Queen showed her approval and said with a smile: "You are not in good health, get up quickly."
"Thank you, empress." Su Ruiran was very courteous to the empress, but Concubine Li didn't take it seriously when she saw it, and said to her coldly, "Aren't you feeling unwell? I see that you look very good, but you don't seem to be sick at all. of."
She calmly and respectfully replied: "Even though my daughter is unwell, when she hears that the empress and concubine are coming, she will naturally stand up and greet her personally. Although my daughter is young and ignorant, she definitely does not dare to break the rules just because of her own body." .”
The queen nodded with a smile, and said to her: "You have a heart to think so." To Concubine Li Gui: "Your sister won't care about such trivial matters, right?"
Concubine Li Gui didn't say a word, the empress used to do this kind of favors to buy people's hearts, but in fact it was just hypocrisy.
She and the queen walked towards the top seats respectively, Lan Xi took the first step to squeeze Xianrui away and snatched the best seat.Xianrui was pushed aside and nearly fell down, feeling angry, but seeing that the master didn't say anything, but just had a sullen face, she could only let out a sigh of relief, and picked a good seat for the master to sit down.
Su Ruiran looked at it calmly, and Wang Momo brought tea to the servants.
Concubine Li Gui didn't even look at it. What's so good about the things in an official woman's room? How could she be interested? She said to Su Ruiran, "Do you know why the palace and the empress came here at this time?"
"I don't know." She lowered her hand and replied.
Concubine Li raised her eyebrows, and said: "You should know about yesterday's banquet, the servants in the palace room were murdered for no reason. Now some servants found blood, and they came all the way to you."
She knew it well, but suddenly showed a look of panic, and hurriedly knelt down and shouted: "Your Majesty! Your daughter is wronged!"
"Whether you are wronged or not, you can find out if you do a search." After Li Guifei finished speaking, she glanced slightly to the side, Lan Xi immediately understood, and Zhang Luo and several servants searched together.
Su Ruiran remained calm, looking at everyone present with cold eyes.The queen remained calm, Yan lowered her head to drink tea, and Su Yanran stood beside her, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing an imperceptible indifferent smile.
Lan Xi took a few eunuchs around for a long time, and finally lifted the curtain under the bed and found what was inside.
An eunuch climbed in and took out the package. Lan Xi opened it immediately, and saw the bloody dagger inside, showing surprise, holding the opened package with both hands, and quickly presented it to Concubine Li Gui, saying, "Look, Madam."
Concubine Li Gui just glanced at her and then frowned, watching Su Ruiran suddenly stand up, the steps on her head shook violently a few times, Concubine Li Gui pointed at her, and said angrily: "It really is you! Why are you talking?" Want to kill the servants in the palace room?"
Su Ruiran calmly said: "Why did your mother say such a thing? My daughter can't understand."
"The evidence is conclusive, do you still want to deny it?" Concubine Li Gui's eyes pressed on every step of the way.
How could the queen not guess the trick behind this? Concubine Li Gui invited herself here just to use her own hand to frame Su Rui.She looked at the dark blue package in Lan Xi's hand, suddenly seemed to find something, and said, "There seems to be something in the package."
Immediately, everyone's eyes fell on the package again, and Lan Xi also noticed something, and quickly found a letter from the package.
Yan Shi and Su Yanran were surprised for a moment, but soon returned to normal, looking at each other, not understanding what was going on.He clearly just told the girl Xin'er to put the bloody dagger into the package, so why did something extra suddenly come out?
Seeing that there was nothing on the envelope, Concubine Li Gui ordered Lan Xi: "Open it and have a look."
The maid next to Lan Xi immediately came over to take the dagger and the package, and Lan Xi opened the letter herself.
"Read it out." Concubine Li Gui ordered again.
"Yes." Lan Xi opened the letter and glanced at it first, but when he saw it, his face suddenly changed, tiny beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and the hand holding the letter trembled a little, and he couldn't help but glance at Yan Shi and Su Yanran glance.
Seeing this, the two of them couldn't help becoming a little nervous.
Yan's heart was pounding, did things change?Looking at Su Ruiran again, I saw her expression was normal, she didn't seem to be in the slightest panic, it was really unpredictable.This girl seems to have become different since Yunyin Villa.Yan's heart murmured, but Concubine Li Gui couldn't wait any longer, she scolded Lan Xi very displeased: "Why are you dawdling around? Why don't you tell me what is written on it?"
Lan Xi knelt down all of a sudden, and replied with an even more flustered expression: "Madam, this letter is about a woman having an affair with a man, and this signature... this signature..."
"What is it?" Concubine Li Gui frowned.
Lan Xi glanced at Su Yanran, Su Yanran was startled, vaguely aware of something, but did not dare to act rashly.
Lan Xi hesitated to speak, several words swirled in her throat repeatedly, and finally said: "It's the second young lady."
Concubine Li Gui was shocked when she heard the words, Su Yanran wobbled and almost fell, Yan Shi was also shocked, but she was just stunned for a moment, quickly recovered and stood up to distinguish: "Your Majesty, this is definitely a frame-up! Yanran has always stayed by my side and always abided by her duty, how could she do such a thing that humiliates the family?"
She naturally knew that if she admitted the letter, she would also admit that it had something to do with the dagger.
Yan Shi looked at Su Ruiran, knowing that if it wasn't Xin'er who was cheating, she was playing tricks, Yan Shi looked at Su Ruiran and said: "Someone must have framed her, and she did something shameful and intended to frame her. Who is this thing?" Whoever is found in the room is the culprit."
She is eager to protect her daughter, and she is not polite when speaking.
Su Ruiran showed a grievance when she heard the words: "Erniang is doubting me by saying that? Does Erniang think that I intend to frame my sister? My sister and I have always been in harmony. I don't know why Erniang would think so?"
Yan was at a loss for words for a while, but Su Ruiran continued: "But it's not impossible for Erniang to say that someone framed her. In order to ensure the safety of the empress and concubine, and to restore my sister's innocence, it is better to investigate this matter thoroughly. See how this package was put into your room?"
Yan's face changed slightly, but he didn't speak.She knew very well that if such an investigation was really carried out, Xin'er might not be able to keep her, and she might not confess herself in order to survive.
Su Yanran came back to her senses, seeing that her mother didn't speak, she panicked even more.Thinking of the days when she was confined, she couldn't help but shiver. She would never have that experience again, being locked in a dark room alone.She knelt on the ground with a "plop", and begged Concubine Li with tears in her eyes: "Your Majesty, my servant is wronged, please ask your Majesty to make the decision for my daughter."
Concubine Li Gui frowned, she couldn't help but feel angry, how did Yan's mother and daughter do things, they were framed instead of being framed.Now that the evidence is convincing, how can he invite the queen to invite the queen, how can he be selfish?
Of course the empress knew that the mother and daughter of the Yan family belonged to Concubine Li, how could she let go of such a good opportunity, so she said: "I can't see this matter clearly, Su Yanran murdered the servants in the imperial concubine's room first, and then with It's really against women's morals to have an affair afterward. Come here! Give me..."
"Wait!" Concubine Li Gui was willing to let the queen get her way so easily, she looked at Su Ruiran and said to the queen, "How does the queen believe that Su Yanran did it? If she really did it, why are the dagger and letter in Su Ruiran's room? It would be nice to explain it.”
Su Ruiran hurriedly kowtowed to the Queen and Concubine Li Gui after hearing the words, "The empress, the imperial concubine, and the ministers also know that killing a court lady and having an affair with others is a serious crime, so they don't dare to publicize these letters and this dagger. My daughter has always regarded Yan Ran as her own younger sister. What's more, the courtier at the banquet saw Yan Ran leave the banquet that day. As the eldest sister, the courtier didn't care about asking. Wrong, so that it has fallen to this point.”
She looked at Su Yanran with tears in her eyes, it really moved her face.
