concubines are respected

Chapter 83
In the face of Suxian's words, it is reasonable for the old lady to have such a reaction.Although Xueying was poisoned and fell into the water that day, she claimed to the outside world that she was drunk.There are people behind the scenes plotting murderous hands, apart from the imperial concubine Yuan, the old matriarch and the old lady, the only one who knows the inside story is probably the perpetrator himself.Others only said that it was a bit disappointing, how could they think of the word "dangerous".

But at this time, Suxian said this, clearly knowing the chaos that happened that day, which made the old lady very surprised.

Facing the old lady whose complexion changed drastically, Suxian quickly got up and came to the old lady, with a look of embarrassment on her face, and said, "This..." At the same time, she glanced at the maidservant in the room from the corner of her eye. Immediately, the jaw stopped talking.

The old lady understood, raised her hand and waved, and said in a low voice, "Let's all go out." Hearing this, the maidservant stepped back respectfully.

Yanzi also followed the maid and mother-in-law out of the room knowingly.

"Yun Rong, you also go down and rest, I will call you if something happens." The old lady said to Yun Rong.

Yun Rong took a look at Suxian in surprise, walked out, and closed the door behind her.

At this time, there were only the old lady and Suxian in the room, and the old lady asked seriously, "Xian'er, tell me, what do you know?"

Suxian knelt down with a heavy complexion, and said in a sad voice, "The old lady is angry, Xian'er really can't hold on..."

"What's going on?" Taijun was a little confused.

"Old Majesty, on the night of the concubine's family visit, in the pond in the backyard, not only Aunt Xueying fell into the water, but also Qian'er fell into the water that night, and almost lost her life." Suxian showed a horrified expression on her face, as if she was caught in a painful memory.

"What? You fell into the water too? Could it be that you also fell into that water illusion...uh...cough cough, you...could it be that you also drank a few more glasses before you stumbled and fell into the water?" The old lady Just halfway through speaking, he suddenly realized that he was almost slipping, and immediately swallowed the words on his lips, and changed his words.

"..." Suxian remained silent for a while, pretending not to care about the word 'water illusion' from the old lady's mouth, and continued, "Xian'er has never been good at drinking, and at the banquet that night, only a glass of fruit wine was used. Not drunk. At that time, there was a lot of people in the main hall, and Qian'er never liked noise, so she strolled to the backyard alone to watch the lanterns. When she walked to the pond in the backyard, she was surprised to see a figure shaking, and then she heard the sound of someone falling into the water. Er searched for the sound and found someone falling into the water. Since it was already late, he couldn't see who the person fell into the water. At this moment, someone suddenly pushed Qian'er from behind, and Qian'er accidentally fell into the water... ·”

"Someone pushed you into the water!" The old lady was shocked, this matter was beyond her expectation.

Although Suxian's words were mixed with truth and falsehood, facing the old lady's questioning, she nodded calmly, "That's right, Qian'er obviously felt someone pushing and pushing behind her. After falling into the water, Qian'er only saw the water in the water." The person was Aunt Xueying, but Aunt Xueying attacked Qian'er like crazy, causing me to choke several times in a row. When I was in a daze, my servant Yanzi came all the way to rescue Qian'er. Returned to the house from the back garden."

Suxian automatically hides the part where she was rescued by An Nanhou.

"Such an important matter, why didn't you report it to me in time that night, and didn't tell me until today?" the old lady asked solemnly.

"The old lady forgives the sin, because at that time Yanzi saw Xian'er and Xueying were up and down in the water, but his ability was limited, Yanzi could only save one person, time was tight, and Yanzi could not leave to call for help, so Yanzi only rescued them in a hurry. Qian'er escaped and did not take Xueying into consideration. After Qian'er went back to her room and changed into dry clothes, she heard that Aunt Xueying fell into the water because of an assassin. Mr. Hai just led people to catch the assassins in the front yard and backyard. Qian'er was worried that Yanzi would abandon her. Xueying's unrescue action caused the imperial concubine to blame her, so she dare not speak out, only secretly hoping to catch the assassin, can she feel at ease."

As she said that, Suxian paused for a moment, with a disappointed expression on her face, "But, unexpectedly, Eunuch Hai didn't catch the assassin. The imperial concubine instead claimed that Aunt Xueying fell into the water after drinking..." Unexpectedly, the traitor was hidden so deeply that even the imperial concubine could not find out... Qian'er knew his mistake. These days, every time Qian'er recalled what happened that night, she became more and more terrified. This matter caused a heart attack, and Qian'er dared not continue to hide from the old lady."

After finishing speaking, Suxian bent down and kowtowed again and again, her expression was extremely frightened.

The old lady looked at Suxian who was terrified and restless in the hall, fell into a long silence, and said to herself: If Suxian's words are true, then Ye Xueying must have been poisoned by the water illusion and was pushed into the hall. In the water, it was probably because Xueying was drugged, so she couldn't remember being pushed and shoved.However, why does this person not only want to harm the people around Concubine Yuan, but also wants to be unfavorable to Suxian? What is the connection between the two?
"Wait, just now you said that you saw a figure swaying in the pond before falling into the water, can you see who that person is?" the old lady carefully recalled Suxian's words, and asked in a dark voice.

"The light is not clear, and Xian'er can vaguely see the figure by the pond, which is very familiar. I can't remember it for a while, but after recalling the scene again and again, I feel very much like Xia He in the third aunt's room." Su Xian said anxiously Add a sentence, "Old Madam, Qian'er just feels a little like it, and I'm not sure..."

"A servant in a side room, how could he have the guts to make such a disturbance? Could it be that there is someone backing him up..." the old matriarch frowned, and whispered, suddenly her wrinkled chrysanthemum eyes shone brightly. Shan, "I'm so confused, why didn't I think of this one!"

Saying that, Suxian, who was kneeling in the hall, stood up, and called Yun Rong into the room, "Go ask the old lady from the side branch to come and talk, and call Xia He from the third aunt's room."

"Your servant obeys." Yun Rong was ordered to retreat.

"Slow down, remember not to disturb others, hurry up and go back!" the old lady ordered towards Yun Rong's back, with a gloomy expression on her face.

Then he turned his head to Suxian who was standing on the side, and said with slight resentment, "You are also confused, Qian'er, why didn't you report such a big matter in time. If someone really harms you, I and your grandmother will decide for you. I won't make you feel wronged. It has been many days before you tell the truth, I really don't know whether to praise you or punish you!"

"Old Madam, please punish Xian'er. It's because Xian'er is stupid. She avoided being punished for her own selfishness and missed the overall situation." Su Xian's well-behaved body and nimble eyes filled with tears again.

"Okay, don't cry anymore. No wonder you, how can you understand these truths at such a young age." Suxian's soft and delicate appearance made the old lady feel a little unbearable. After all, she was only 14 years old, and her life was at stake. At that time, how could it be thoughtful.

Not long after, the old lady came to the room, and the old lady seldom chatted with her, so she simply narrated to the old lady what Suxian had just reported.

The old lady was very surprised, "Qiaojuan? How is it possible? Although Qiaojuan is bitter and mean, she is not a person of great evil. Besides, this matter is related to Concubine Yuan. She would not dare to act recklessly even if she had ten courages. Qian'er , did you read it wrong?"

The third aunt is the old lady's distant niece, if this matter has something to do with the third aunt, how can the old lady be alone.Those who are disadvantageous to Concubine Yuan must be enemies of the entire Lin family, such a serious crime, the old lady cannot bear it.

"Grandmother, Qian'er didn't see it clearly. She just felt that the figure was nine layers similar to Xia He. The old lady simply sent someone to call Xia He, and she will understand after asking." Su Xian's ambiguous reply made the old lady feel very upset.

Soon, Yun Rong led Xia He into the room through the curtain.

Xia He entered the room and saw the old matriarch and the old lady sitting on the brocade couch with unsuspecting expressions, while Suxian stood respectfully at the side. Although neither of them spoke, the atmosphere in the room was extremely oppressive, and he couldn't help but secretly beat the small drum in his heart. .

"My maidservant greets the old matriarch, the old madam, and the second lady." After saluting in turn, Xia He buried her head and said nothing more, perhaps there was a ghost in her heart, and the tightly clenched palms hidden in her sleeves were already dripping with sweat. .

"Xia He, do you still remember the banquet on the night of the imperial concubine's family visit?" the old matriarch asked straight to the point without going around in circles.

"Ah..." Xia He was slightly startled, trying to stay calm, with a forced smile on her pretty face, "Back to the old matriarch, the concubine's concubine's family feast is not only a grand event in the Lin family, but also a grand event in the entire capital." How could this servant not remember such a grand event."

"Well, just remember, tell me where you served that night?" The old lady picked up the celadon teacup by her side and took a sip, but her eyes did not move away from Xia He, she continued to watch her steadily.

"Slave servant... Slave servant has been waiting by Third Auntie's side and hasn't left." Xia He nodded, his eyes flickering in response.

The old lady didn't say a word, she glanced at Suxian secretly, Suxian pursed her lips and smiled, took the words softly, and said sarcastically, "Really? Could it be that my eyes are dazzled, I clearly remember that there was only Qiu Ju beside the third aunt of the night Followed from the beginning to the end, but you just took the lead at the beginning of the banquet and disappeared. May I ask which third aunt you are serving?"

"Servant, servant..." Xia He's face turned pale, and he said with a lack of confidence, "Third aunt said that it was cold, and asked the servant to go back to the house to pick up the shawl, so the servant left temporarily."

"Take the shawl!" Suxian raised her voice sharply, looked directly at Xia He with cold eyes, and shouted sharply, "Don't argue! Why did you take the shawl to the pond in the backyard? Say, who ordered you to push me into the water?" , trying to kill me!"

Suxian's warm and gentle voice rose sharply, which startled Xia He, followed by a barrage of questions, and then pointed out her 'crime' without warning. At a glance, he was completely confused and dazed for a while, only then did he understand the meaning of Suxian's words, his calf softened, and he knelt on the ground and waved his hands again and again, "No maid, no maid, no maid pushing you into the water, maid just Ordered to watch in the dark..."

The words blurted out, Xia He's face paled and she stopped speaking, her teeth clenched her lower lip, her head lowered deeply...
