Chapter 242 Suspicious Huipin 2
Huipin doesn't want to take off her clothes, so no one can come up and strip her, right?
So no one forced her to do anything.
Song Zhao also brought the conversation back to the southern tour at the beginning of next spring.
During this time, everyone was talking and laughing, except for Concubine Hui, who was obviously feeling a little uncomfortable due to the heat.
But Song Zhao pretended not to see it, and said to Huipin with a smile:
"This southern tour will definitely go to the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas. My sister's mother's family is there, and I think the emperor will definitely bring my sister with him."
"Really?" Huipin's eyes lit up, and she was a little happy at first, but soon, the stars in her eyes dimmed again, and the corners of her mouth glanced down, and said:
"But I asked the emperor yesterday, and he didn't say he would take me with him... It would be best if the emperor could take me with him. I haven't seen my parents for a long time, and I miss them so much."
Her frowns and frowns revealed a childish innocence that didn't look like a disguise at all.
Song Zhao advised her, "Sister, you are not thoughtful enough, are you? The number of places for the southern tour is limited, and the concubines from all six palaces were here yesterday. If the emperor said he would bring you along, wouldn't that make others jealous for no reason?"
Huibin's dark eyes rolled rapidly in her eye sockets, "Hmm...it seems to be the case."
Soon he laughed again, "That means the emperor will take me with him, but he just can't tell everyone in person? Hehe~ That's good! If we really go home at that time, I will let the emperor and Sister Song live in my house!"
She opened her hands, drew a big circle in the air, and said proudly:
"My house is very big! Although it's not as big as the imperial palace, it doesn't feel crowded at all even if there are a hundred or so people living in it."
Rong Yue and Li Changzai were amused by her innocence.
Song Zhao also said: "Then we'll wait until the southern tour and ask my sister to take us to see it."
Then we talked for a while.
Huipin suddenly pointed out the window and said in surprise, "Sister Song, look! It's snowing outside!"
She suddenly jumped up from the chair, like a little rabbit, and ran out.
During this time, he did not forget to turn back and say to Song Zhao: "Sister Song, will you play in the snow with me?"
Song Zhao smiled and shook his head, "I won't go. I'll have to coax Cheng Yu when he wakes up."
"oh......"
Huipin was lost for a moment, but soon came back, took Li Changzai and Rongyue, and said:
"Then Sister Li and Sister Tong, will you play with me? Let's go back to the palace, close the palace gates and have fun! I'm always afraid of disturbing the eldest prince if I stay here~"
She was in high spirits and no one could dissuade her.
Song Zhao then ordered everyone,
"We've talked for a long time today. You should accompany Huipin back first. Go slowly on the way and be careful not to let her fall."
After the few people left, Yunshan immediately opened two windows of the main hall.
Xiao Fuzi also called two eunuchs in from outside and asked them to move out the four or five extra charcoal basins that were burning brightly in the hall.
After doing all this, he waited until the stuffiness in the hall had almost dissipated, then he stood beside Song Zhao and whispered:
"Your Majesty's guess is correct. There is indeed something wrong with Concubine Hui."
"Yes!" Yunshan fanned Song Zhao with her palms and said, "It's so hot, but she still refuses to take off the scarf around her neck. It's not to cover up the birthmark or anything like that. Before the queen entered the palace, Xiao Fuzi had seen Huipin when she was in the palace, and she didn't hide it at that time."
Today, Song Zhao had instructed Rong Yue to ask Li Chang to come to Changle Palace in front of Huipin while she was in Zhaochun Palace.
Doesn't Huipin like crowds and joining in the fun the most? When she learned about this, she would definitely follow Rongyue even if she had to put on a show in front of others.
Song Zhao had already asked Xiao Fuzi to heat the charcoal basin in the palace to the hottest temperature.
The purpose of this move was to make Huipin feel the heat and see if she would take off the scarf around her neck.
Xiao Fuzi said, "Huipin wears a scarf in winter and a gauze scarf in summer. I didn't notice it until the queen told me. I thought she liked to dress like that when she was young. But now I think about it, it's so hot in our palace today, and she refused to take off her scarf. It's really strange."
Song Zhao stared at the bright red fox fur scarf that Huipin had just given her on the table beside her and smiled coldly.
"If she doesn't pick it, then I will find a way to help her pick it."
Yunshan still couldn't figure out why Song Zhao suddenly suspected Huipin. She asked:
"When did the Queen suspect Huipin? The Queen had a falling out with the Queen in Kunning Palace yesterday. Isn't that equivalent to admitting that the incident in Meiyuan was her doing?"
Song Zhao said disdainfully: "The Queen is too clever for her own good. The more she does this, the more strange it makes me feel. I have experienced how the Queen is a watertight person.
In the past, she was able to deny things without panicking or panicking when the evidence was right in front of her. Why is she rushing to admit it this time and forcing me to turn against her, which is uncharacteristic of hers?"
Song Zhao gently stroked the nail polish on his nails, his tone gradually becoming deeper.
"She is too impatient. It seems like she is deliberately trying to tell me that she did all this, that she wants to harm me and my child, and that she can't wait to make me hate her. But ask a normal person, who would take all the hatred on themselves in such an extreme way?"
Hearing Song Zhao's words, Xiao Fuzi thought for a moment and said slowly:
"So Your Majesty feels that the Queen's actions are actually intended to mislead You?
She wants you to think that she did everything, and wants you to focus all your attention on being on guard against her and being hostile to her, while ignoring the people around you who really want to attack you and the eldest prince?"
"Yes." Song Zhao responded calmly, and then said: "I have always felt strange that if the queen wanted to harm someone, she should have come to harm me instead of Cheng Yu. Her body is in a terrible state. She will never be able to have children in the future. She can only take care of the princess until she grows old.
If anything happens to me, then she is the legitimate mother of your son and the most suitable person to raise Chengyu. Why would she harm Chengyu? The queen herself said that she is a phoenix flying in the sky. A phoenix will not land unless it has a treasure, and she will not do anything that is thankless. "
Song Zhao was silent for a moment, then suddenly raised his eyebrows and looked at Xiao Fuzi, then changed the subject and said:
"And the reason why I suspect Huipin... Think about it carefully. Was there ever a time when she wasn't present when something bad happened in this palace? I don't know whether she is a human or a ghost, but I just feel that there is something wrong with her."
The next day,
After noon, the snow stopped a little, and Song Zhao went to Zhaochun Palace.
When she arrived, Huipin, Li Changzai, and Rongyue were making a snowman in the courtyard.
Song Zhao smiled and said, "Yesterday my sister asked me to play in the snow with you, but Cheng Yu was about to wake up and I was not free. Today I am free, so I thought of coming to have fun in the snow with my sister."
"Great!" Huipin clapped happily, "Sister Song is here too, so it will be even more lively."
Rong Yue suggested, "Why don't we have a snowball fight? New snow is soft and won't hurt when it hits you. Sister Li, don't you think so?"
As she spoke, she had thrown a snowball at Li Changzai's waist without knowing when.
Li Changzai was "sneak attacked" by her and pretended to be angry, and hurriedly made a snowball to fight back.
While everyone was playing, they couldn't tell who threw the snowball, which hit Huipin's neck.
Rong Yue happened to be standing next to Huipin at the moment, and she hurriedly said:
"Oh my, the snow is about to get into your neck."
As he said this, while Huipin hadn't reacted yet, he directly reached out and ripped off the fur scarf around Huipin's neck.
"ah!!!!"
At almost the same time,
Li Changzai, who was standing opposite Huibin, saw Huibin's jade neck clearly.
She was so scared that she screamed...
