Wangfu little dumb wife

Chapter 322 The plan is disrupted (3 more)
After listening to her mother-in-law's nagging, Wen Wan took Song Jiao and followed her husband out of the gate.

Lin Bo had already harnessed the carriage, and a servant girl raised the curtain beside him, and respectfully invited the master, wife and young lady to get on the carriage.

After a stick of incense, they arrived at the gate of the imperial city.

The three got out of the car and found that several carriages had stopped around them.

Because the ministers who entered the palace to participate in the banquet were above the third grade, the carriages were more luxurious and spacious, and the carriages of the Song family looked very ordinary among them.

However, to be able to climb to the high position of the third rank, the quality of the family members is naturally higher than that of the women in the back house of the small family.

Therefore, even if they found out that this carriage was not as good as other houses, no one was full of food and said some sarcastic words in public. On the contrary, this gentle face attracted the attention of many wives.

Sensing that many people were looking at her, Wen Wan was a little nervous, and asked Song Wei, "Sir, is there something on my face? Why are they all staring at me?"

Song Wei glanced back at the women who were looking this way, and smiled faintly, "They are all court wives, and they often attended palace banquets in the past, maybe because they think you look too similar to the eldest princess back then. "

Wen Wan understood, nodded, touched his face again, and once again sighed, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he couldn't believe that there are two people who look so similar in this world.

Song Jiao was a little confused, and asked Song Wei, "Third Uncle, what are you talking about?"

She smoothed things over with a gentle smile, "It's nothing, those people were staring at me just now, your third uncle said it was because I look a lot like a nobleman in the palace."

Song Jiao nodded, and asked curiously, "Without blood relationship, are there really similar people in this world?"

Wen Wan said: "I'm not a living example?"

-

After entering the gate of the imperial city, a palace official came to lead the way and took them to the imperial garden.

While Song Jiao was looking around, she gently asked Song Wei what she should do in a while.

Song Wei said: "I went to Yutang Palace yesterday on the grounds of visiting Yuanbao, and saw him."

"What does Mr. Xiang mean, Yuan Bao will also be involved?"

Song Wei nodded, seeing the worry in Wen Wan's eyes, and said in a gentle voice, "Don't worry, I'm just borrowing His Highness's name."

Perhaps infected by the unhurried and steady aura around him, Wen Wan no longer has worries and doubts, and follows him with ease.

Song Jiao, who was behind, was afraid of being lost, so she hurriedly followed and said in a low voice, "Aunt Third, the palace is really big!"

There were too many people attending the banquet, and it was impossible to send them to the Imperial Garden on a soft chariot per capita, so they could only walk by themselves.

It has been quite a long time since entering the imperial city, and Song Jiao's shock can be imagined before arriving at the destination.

Wen Wan was only focused on talking to Song Wei before, but didn't look at it carefully, now she started to look around, then looked away, and smiled at Song Jiao, "It's quite big."

Compared with the excitement of the younger girl, she is much more gentle and calm.

After the little Gong'e who led the way brought them to the gazebo in the imperial garden, she said respectfully: "Master Song, Mrs. Song, please take a rest here. There is still some time before the palace banquet. Refreshments are prepared in the pavilion. If you feel bored, you can Go around."

Wen Wan was grateful for the hard work of the tunnel, and when Gong'e walked away, she began to look at her current position.

This is not a place to hold a banquet, I have never seen it in my premonition.

Song Wei said: "Cross the rockery in front, the banquet is set over there, but there are no people there yet."

The wives are all going to meet Empress Su and today's protagonist, Concubine Duan.

Wen Wan felt that something was wrong, "Sir, they all went to visit, but I didn't go, will I be questioned then?"

"No, you don't have a rank, you are not a wife, and you are not easy to attract attention."

Song Wei didn't let her go because he had his own selfish motives. He was afraid that Empress Su would think of the eldest princess when she saw Wanwan.

Empress Su is a ruthless character. Once Wanwan meets her, if something unexpected happens, if he is not there, it may be too late.

Instead of paying homage to the queen, they rested in the gazebo and had some refreshments.

After a long time, there was movement from the other side of the rockery.

It was the wives who paid homage to the queen and came towards the imperial garden.

Wen Wan raised her eyes to look at Song Wei.

Song Wei smiled and said: "If Wanwan thinks there are too many people and too noisy, it's okay to go."

Years of tacit understanding allowed Wen Wan to understand the implication of his words at the first time - today's full moon banquet probably won't even last until the banquet starts.

So, it doesn't really matter if she shows up now or not.

It was the first time she entered the palace and encountered such a thing, but she was not disappointed in Wen Wan's heart. She had already passed the age of ignorance and ignorance, and she could distinguish between the important and the important. big picture.

It's just that it's rare to take my niece out, and I feel a little sorry for going back home without letting her have a good look at it.

……

Ministers and family members took their seats one after another.

At this time, the eldest prince Zhao Xi, surrounded by the eunuchs, came towards this side, and a group of people passed by the lotus pond.

The voices on the scene stopped abruptly, and the ministers got up to salute one after another.

Zhao Xi didn't say a word.

After a brief silence, everyone could only hear the slight sound of falling into the water, and a little eunuch said at the top of his voice, "His Majesty's jade pendant fell into the water, hurry up and get it out!"

As soon as the words were finished, seven or eight inner court guards came forward, took off the swords around their waists, jumped in and began to salvage the jade pendants.

All attention is focused on the lotus pond.

Zhao Xi stood on the shore with an expressionless face, narrowing his eyes slightly.

He got the jade pendant down on purpose, because last night Song Yuanbao told him that there was a good show going to be performed in the pool of the Imperial Garden today, and if he wanted to see it, he would throw something in it and let people go down to salvage it.

Since his biological mother was a noble concubine, Zhao Xi was not ignorant of Gong Dou. He was worried that his mother and concubine would be involved, so even if he didn't respond to Song Yuanbao at that time, he secretly kept his mind on it.

Isn't it just throwing a personal thing into the pond and letting people go down to salvage it?

The pond is very big, and there are many lotus flowers planted in it. The water in the pond is not clear, and you can't see the bottom at a glance. If something falls into it, it is not easy to find.

In other words, it's easier to hide things in the pool.

Seven or eight inner court guards salvaged it for a long time without a trace.

Not long after, Eunuch Cui shouted from the entrance of the imperial garden: "The emperor is here, the empress is here—"

A group of ministers and family members knelt down and shouted long live the emperor and a thousand years old empress.

As soon as Emperor Guangxi came over, he saw Zhao Xi kneeling beside the pond. In the pond, the inner court guards who were salvaging jade pendants were swimming towards the shore.

The inner court guard who fell on the tail was suddenly tripped, he leaned over to fish in the water, and picked up a handful of the woman's hair.

He mentioned it further, when he saw the swollen and whitish female corpse, the guard turned pale with fright and shouted.

The wives on the shore followed the prestige, and their eyes fell on the body floating on the water. Some people couldn't bear it, and immediately vomited out.

The ministers began to whisper.

Zhao Xi, who was kneeling by the pool, glanced in, his lowered eyes were thoughtful.

Emperor Guangxi's face was ugly, and he didn't let everyone get down, he went directly to the dragon chair and sat down, looked down at everyone, and asked in a dignified voice, "What's going on?"

No one answered.

One by one is like dumb.

They were all here for the banquet, so how could they know that a female corpse suddenly floated up in the pool of the Imperial Garden? This kind of thing is simply too horrifying.

Emperor Guangxi turned his sharp eyes to Empress Su, "Do you owe me an explanation?"

Empress Su hurriedly stood up and knelt down to him, "I think the House of Internal Affairs was negligent. They didn't clean up the scene before hosting the banquet. Speaking of which, it's also the concubine's dereliction of duty. I also ask the emperor to come down."

Having said that, the fingers in the brocade sleeve curled up one by one.

She arranged for so long, just to kill the second prince and remove Song Wei, the thorn in his side, unexpectedly.

The moment she saw the female corpse floating up ahead of schedule, Empress Su knew that the whole plan was messed up.

Concubine Duan has not shown up with the second prince, Song Wei and his wife are also missing, and the two targets are not at the scene.

All the inner court guards in the pool had already come up, and the female body was lying flat on the ground. Immediately, a young eunuch sent a white cloth to cover it, but it still frightened some of the wives.

When the matter developed to this point, no one would have any expectations for the full moon banquet.

Emperor Guangxi's eyes darkened, "I'll give the empress three days, if you can't find out the truth after three days, then this court lady is from your Kunning Palace!"
