《Story of Yanxi Palace》E23
twenty three
Fu Heng didn't believe what others said and wanted Yingluo to tell her personally whether she wanted to kill him.Yingluo tested the poison herself, and was indeed summoned into the palace by Concubine Gao, who ordered her to poison the queen.The queen asked her if she was threatened, and Yingluo explained that the imperial concubine told her that her sister was defiled by Fu Heng. In order to cover up Fu Heng's crimes, the queen expelled Aman from the palace and sent someone to assassinate him.The queen said that she was not such a person and believed that Fu Heng would not do such a thing.Yingluo knows how to distinguish right from wrong. She keeps the medicine bag to remind herself not to forget the hatred of her sister's murder. The queen wants to help Yingluo but Yingluo politely refuses.Concubine Chun advised the queen not to keep Yingluo by her side, but the queen had already made up her mind.Fu Heng approached Yingluo, and Yingluo threw the court belt to Fu Heng. Although she believed in Fu Heng, the jade pendant could be lost, but the court belt never left her. Why?Yingluo guessed that someone wore Fu Heng's clothes and entered the back garden to avoid the guards' inspection.Yingluo found it strange that Fu Heng had to protect him.Fu Heng said that he was trying to protect Yingluo and did not want her to be in any danger.Yingluo kept asking, but Fu Heng still refused to tell her, but she would not give up and wanted to get to the bottom of it.Concubine Chun asked the queen why she loved Yingluo the most, even the loyal servants who had been around her for many years could not compare with her.The emperor went to Chengqian Palace to find Concubine Xian and said that the Minister of Rites felt that Yongxun was pitiful for losing his family at such a young age. Concubine Jia happened to have a young girl who was old enough to be drafted and wanted to send her to the palace to take care of Yongxun.Concubine Xian thinks it would be better for Yongxun to be raised by her biological aunt, but she has a request, hoping that she can visit Yongxun more often.Concubine Xian believed that the Jin family wanted to take away Yongxun at all costs. Although the emperor seemed indifferent, he was actually indifferent. The emperor trusted the Jin family far more than he trusted himself.The emperor found that Concubine Xian was missing while he was sleeping. He went to look for Concubine Xian and saw that Concubine Xian was taking good care of Yongxun. He was filled with emotions.In fact, Concubine Xian deliberately scratched her foot so that when the emperor saw this scene, he would not allow Si Age to move to the palace.Yingluo went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to get something, and happened to meet Desheng holding a tea party in the Imperial Garden on a whim. All the princes, Baylor, attended and took people to the Imperial Garden to decorate.All the princes, Beile, gathered together and said that Hong Zhou had been acting recklessly all day long, which was shameful.All the princes praised the emperor's tea for being extraordinary, but only Hong Zhou said wildly that pineapple and bergamot were poisonous when mixed together.Hong Zhou said how could there be good tea without poetry, so he recited the poem, and then fainted. Everyone thought Hong Zhou had been poisoned and hurriedly spit out the tea he drank, but they were teased.The emperor had always been kind and kind to Hong Zhou, and everyone felt that no matter what Hong Zhou did, the emperor would turn a blind eye.At this moment, Yingluo appeared disguised as a ghost. Everyone was frightened and ran away quickly. Hongzhou was so frightened that he remembered his previous violation of Aman.Fu Heng saw it and hurried over. Hong Zhou kept shouting that someone was there, but no one saw him.Fu Heng asked Yingluo if she was pretending to be a ghost, but Yingluo was pretending to be stupid. Fu Heng advised her not to attack Hong Zhou rashly. He is the closest person to the emperor. As long as he does not commit the crime of treason, the emperor will tolerate him throughout his life.Hong Zhou felt that something was wrong with what happened yesterday and that someone was trying to dig up the past, so he vowed to find this person and skin him out.Fu Heng told Hong Zhou that he knew he was wearing his own clothes and had done bad things. He also said he knew who was behind the scenes and wanted to take him to see him.In the Changchun Palace, Fu Heng called the queen to see Hong Zhou and Ying Luo resolve Aman's matter peacefully.As soon as Hong Zhou arrived, he gave Yingluo a pile of silver, apologized to Yingluo, and said that he did not kill Aman.Fu Heng also helped Hong Zhou plead for mercy, but Yingluo held a grudge and said that tarnishing a palace maid's innocence was no different from killing her.Yingluo disdained what Hongzhou said and was about to leave, when her father came in.Hong Zhou said that he had recommended Yingluo's father to serve as the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and he would take office tomorrow.Yingluo felt uncomfortable and asked her father how he felt about trading his own daughter's life for a bright future.Yingluo's father thought about saving face and felt that doing this with the prince would make Yingluo die in peace.Yingluo asked the queen what she should do, and the queen said she couldn't make the decision for Yingluo.Yingluo understood, and had no choice but to swallow her anger. For the sake of her sister's peace under Jiuquan, she did not dare to complain to the prince anymore, but she just hoped that he would keep his promise today.
