The palace building is magnificent, majestic and tall, whether it is the red glazed tiles or the thick and sturdy blue bricks, there is a solemn solemnity.
Ting'er was very uneasy in her heart, she didn't dare to look up at all, the guard walked fast, she had to work hard to keep up with his pace, and her footsteps seemed to stumble.
After bypassing the long corridor, she followed the guards to the vicinity of Kunning Palace. The guards did not enter, but the people sent by An Lian introduced Tinger into Kunning Palace.
The Kunning Palace is the main palace of the Empress, with nine rooms in width and a warm pavilion.
Inside, the walls are decorated with red lacquer, the floor is covered with a crimson embroidered Baizitu carpet, and the red sandalwood incense burner in the corner is lit with incense, and the curling smoke hovers in the air.
Ting'er didn't dare to look at it too much, so after entering, she respectfully kowtowed.
Zhong Li leaned on the couch and glanced at her lightly.
The girl's movements of pinching the veil and the way she walked were somewhat similar to hers, which made Zhong Li a little suspicious of Xiao Sheng's purpose in finding her.
Zhong Li didn't let her get up, and looked at her condescendingly for a while. She was in a high position and got along with Pei Xing for a long time.
There was a thin layer of sweat on Ting'er's forehead. She didn't understand why the Queen Mother wanted to call her.
Then Zhong Li said lightly: "Bengong has a few questions to ask you, if you answer truthfully, I won't do anything to you, if you dare to deceive me, you will even be punished with the crime of the afternoon, and the fate of deceiving the queen, You must know."
Ting'er hurriedly expressed her loyalty, "Don't worry, madam, the people will definitely know what to say."
Only then did Zhong Li say, "When did Xiao Sheng find you? Why did he seek you? When did he give you the letter? What did he say?"
Ting'er didn't dare to hide it, although she was a little ashamed, she explained her origin in detail, she fell to the ground and whispered: "The reason why Xiao Gongzi found Minnu and Yingying here is to give it to the emperor, Yingying. She was the number one beauty in Yangzhou, and she was also a thin horse. At that time, the emperor had not yet ascended the throne, and lived in Youfengtang of the Marquis of Zhenbei. "
Hearing this, Zhong Li couldn't help but stunned and vaguely understood why Xiao Sheng dedicated Ting'er to Pei Xing. She also knew that Yangzhou thin horses existed, they were raised as pets when they were young, and everything they learned was for the sake of to please men.
Although many women look down on thin horses, Zhong Li knows that they may not be willing to do so. If they were desperate and sold since childhood, how many people would be willing to be so humble to please men?
There are many noble sons in the capital who look serious and beautiful, but there are also many people who keep skinny horses behind their backs, and some even take pride in having top-notch skinny horses.
It is rare for Pei Xing to remain unmoved.
Ting'er continued: "After the first prince died, we were kicked out of the house by the first prince's concubine, and later we were humiliated by beggars. It was Young Master Xiao and Liu Shun who saved us. They gave me a life-saving grace, and the girl agreed. Help him pass the letter, all he said is to let Minnu deliver the letter to you in November last year."
Speaking of this, Ting'er lowered her head in shame, "You didn't leave the palace, and the women couldn't find a chance to send the letter to you, so it's been delayed until today, and I don't know if it's delayed you."
Ting'er was not as good as Yingying, and always felt that Xiao Sheng was a gentle and polite gentleman, and she was even more in love with the Queen. She never thought about the content of the letter. It was Xiao Sheng's provocation, which would be detrimental to her.
Zhong Li's heart couldn't help but move.
In November last year, the baby in her womb was just over eight months old. If she suddenly found out about the incident, her emotions would be very ups and downs. Xiao Sheng definitely didn't want to see her and Pei Xing getting along well, so she deliberately chose to break the matter at this time. .
Maybe she wanted to give her premature birth.
Zhong Li couldn't get what he deserved. He didn't understand how there could be such a demented person in the world. One him and one Gu Zhiya was really boring.
Zhong Li asked Tinger carefully, whether Xiao Sheng had any unusual behavior, and whether he had mentioned the "assassination" before her.
Tinger asked three questions. It was not until this moment that she learned that Xiao Sheng had actually assassinated the Empress. She was so frightened that she slumped on the ground, tears welling up in her watery eyes, and the muscles in her face were shaking.
Zhong Li didn't ask any more questions. She was also a woman, and she naturally saw that Ting'er was soft-hearted and had a bit of a conscience. For the sake of her not causing any harm, Zhong Li didn't embarrass her.
"You go."
Tinger only felt that she had escaped death, and she kowtowed gratefully, "Thank you, Empress."
After Ting'er left, Chu Xue came back and whispered, "Niangniang, she really went."
What Zhong Li wrote on the note was to ask Chuxue to go to the Qianqing Palace for a day to see if Luoyu would go to the Qianqing Palace to find the emperor today. .
Seeing that she really went, Zhong Li couldn't help snorting.
In the Qianqing Palace, Pei Xing just let Luo Yu in. He has been busy in the past few days, and he just finished discussing important matters with the minister. When Luo Yu came in, Pei Xing was still processing the memorial, and while processing, he said, "It's not to let You are guarding your maiden, what happened?"
Luo Yu was a little flustered, and hurriedly knelt down and repeated what Zhong Li asked her.
Pei Xing's eyes sank, and the pressure on his body was released unconsciously at this moment.
Luo Yu lowered her head and said quietly, "I don't know if Empress has evidence or doubts."
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Pei Xing throw away the memorial and hit her directly, "Idiot, when you come, even if she has no evidence, she has evidence."
Luo Yu was a little stunned for a while, her face turned white in an instant, and she looked stunned. She had already reacted and knelt down and kowtowed, "Damn it, subordinate."
She was trained as a human-shaped weapon when she was a child. In addition to being trained, she was performing tasks. Because of her pure mind and not so many twists and turns, her tasks were also assassination. Qin Xing, Ling Liu and others were replaced. , When questioned like that by Zhong Li, he would definitely not act rashly.
