Chapter Seventy-Two: Fallen
Nuoda's dormitory was silent, only the sound of candles burning, "Go check." After a moment of silence, Qi Zongwen waved his hand and said, "Let Han Xing follow you." ”
"Your Majesty. Han Xing was a little hesitant, who would take care of His Majesty when he left.
"Go ahead, it should be convenient for you to look at. Qi Zongwen said, "Let Han Haili serve me." ”
"Where's Wehu?"
"Lord Wei has been waiting in the Tianqing Palace since His Majesty fainted, but I don't know where he is?" Han Xing said.
"Go and call him. ”
"Your Majesty, why don't you wait until tomorrow to investigate?" Han Xing persuaded when he saw that his face was dark and ugly, "Your Majesty is awake, his energy is not good, this day the Qing Palace is surrounded like an iron bucket, no one can run away, and it is okay to wait for the investigation slowly." ”
"Someone wants to harm my life, can I still investigate slowly?" Qi Zongwen snorted coldly, "You follow Imperial Doctor Yuan." ”
Wei Hu came into the hall and saluted, "Your Majesty." ”
"You first take a few people to check the Tianqing Palace and the Taiji Palace up and down, if Imperial Doctor Yuan finds out the reason, you can dig deep along that line. Qi Zongwen squinted his eyes for a while before saying.
"The sachet in Ronghua Palace is different from the one next to it, you can also find out who did anything in the sachet material of Ronghua Palace. ”
"Your Majesty, is the investigation method of Ronghua Palace according to the past, or is it another way to use a gentle method?" Wei Hu asked, he had followed His Majesty for so long, so he naturally knew that the concubine was not an ordinary woman in His Majesty's heart, so it was better to ask clearly in advance.
"Don't ask in front of her. Qi Zongwen thought for a while and said, "You tell her the truth, lest she think about it, there is a problem with the spices in her palace, move all the things and people out of the palace to ask, and then let the internal secretary transfer a few people to serve her temporarily." ”
"The harem is still on guard, don't go out of the palace gate if you have nothing to do. ”
"Yes. ”
After arranging things in a strong spirit, so that the inner servant was going to call him up tomorrow morning, Qi Zongwen fell into a deep sleep. No one even told him, why wasn't the concubine in front of the palace today?
After Qin Yunyi went back, he also sat in the main hall, looking at the cornices of Tianqing Palace, not waiting, but staying here with peace of mind, "Since the afternoon, Niangniang has not touched the rice, and the slave maid will go to the next bowl of noodles to give Niangniang, okay?"
Qin Yunyi shook his head, "I can't eat it." ”
". Miao An said, "You suffer from yourself like this, if you break your body, Your Majesty should be distressed." ”
"After all this time, His Majesty has not sent anyone to call me, it seems that I have woken up, and my energy has not yet recovered. Qin Yunyi said worriedly.
"That's poisoning, where is it so fast. Miao An whispered, "I really don't know who is so lawless and bold that he dares to poison His Majesty." ”
Qin Yunyi's face was solemn, "I'm afraid I'm going to die again." ”
"Your Majesty has been on the throne for seven years, and the government and the opposition have all praised it, who will do it to Your Majesty?"
"These things are not for us to mutter. Qin Yunyi said, "Your Majesty will find out." ”
Dorjee hurriedly walked over from the palace gate, "Niangniang, there is a Lord Zhen Siwei at the door who asks to see you." ”
"He also brought a lot of people. ”
"Let him in. Qin Yunyi said.
Wei Hu walked to the main hall and bowed his hand to Qin Yunyi, "Guifei Niangniang, the minister is here on the emperor's order." ”
"There is a problem with the sachet of Ronghua Palace, and the ministers should take it away and check it carefully. ”
Qin Yunyi stood up, and after Miao Ping came out of the ranks, he asked, "Dare to ask your lordship, who are you going to take away?"
"All. ”
"Then who will serve the concubine?" Miao An asked in surprise.
"The people chosen by the inner division will come in shortly. Weihu said.
"If it's really a sachet problem, you should check. Qin Yunyi then said, "You go with this adult, no matter what you ask, tell the truth, don't hide it." ”
". Miao Ping knelt on the ground.
"Master Wei, this palace has heard His Majesty say that you are a decent gentleman, can this palace believe you?" Qin Yunyi stared at Wei Hu, "Only inquire, not punishment." ”
"Whether they are severely punished or not depends on whether they are honest or not. Wei Hu said, "The minister knows that some palace maids here have followed the concubine from the palace to the palace, and the deep feelings are extraordinary, and the minister promises that he will never wronged anyone." ”
"Good. Qin Yunyi said, "Go ahead." ”
Some timid palace maids began to cry, but they were soon reprimanded by their companions, and they lined up in two columns, even if they were to be interrogated, they could not fall into the prestige of Ronghua Palace.
Mu Chengzhou and the other attendants came over with the box, "Here are all the sachets and spices in Ronghua Palace, and this afternoon, the concubine will start to check myself with me." ”
Wei Hu nodded, he looked at Qin Yunyi's waist and said, "That sachet from the noble concubine should also be taken away." ”
Miao Ping stepped forward to get the sachet, Qin Yunyi looked at her, "Niangniang, don't worry, the clean ones will clear themselves, and the slaves and maids will be fine." ”
"Hmm. Qin Yunyi said, "I believe in you. ”
Miao Ping fell in front of the back of the team, and when she was about to step out of the palace gate, she couldn't help but look back at the concubine, Qin Yunyi was still standing at the gate of the palace and looking at them, her figure alone looked so weak and lonely.
Myohei turned his head, gritted his teeth, and held back tears.
Your Majesty, is that how you love the concubine?
Qin Yunyi stood at the door of the hall for a long time, she thought she should think about something, but her brain was blank and she didn't think of anything. It was only when her knees ached that she realized that she had been standing for a long time.
Wei Hu said that the person who will come over soon has not seen anyone so far, she pulled the corners of her mouth and chuckled, there is never a shortage of people in this palace who look at the direction of the wind.
She went to close the palace door herself, returned to the dormitory and lay down, and when she couldn't sleep, she opened her eyes and looked at the top of the tent, until she couldn't stand it anymore, and then closed her eyes and fell asleep.
The Empress has been nervous since she came back from the Tianqing Palace, "If Your Majesty knows that Qin Yunyi was stopped outside the palace today, and you don't know how to be angry?"
"It's not the mother who is stopping her, so why be nervous. ”
"Your Majesty is really angry, but you will be angry. The queen sighed, "Actually, the palace is also trying to be happy for a while, even if she is allowed to enter." ”
The queen didn't want to sleep, but she didn't expect to wait for the news of His Majesty's blame, but Ruan Wan, the head of the internal division, came to ask for instructions, "The chastity department is coming, and I want the internal secretary to choose a few clever palace maids to serve in Ronghua Palace. ”
"Is there no one in Ronghua Palace yet?" asked the queen.
"Probably not. Ruan Wan said, "That lord said that all the palace people in Ronghua Palace must leave the palace for examination. ”
The queen was puzzled, and Ruan Wan reminded her when she saw that she hadn't thought of it, "Your Majesty stayed in Ronghua Palace yesterday, I'm afraid that today's poisoning has nothing to do with Ronghua Palace." ”
"No way. The queen subconsciously didn't believe it, "How could Qin Yunyi harm Your Majesty?" She was alone, relying only on Your Majesty, what good would it do her to kill Your Majesty, and she wouldn't be able to survive if Your Majesty died.
"That's not for sure. Ruan Wan said that she just sent the wrong hairpin, and the concubine came out of it, and the whole inner division was faceless, and she remembered it. Anyway, she came to ask the queen, if it was the queen who didn't let her send someone to Ronghua Palace, then it was no wonder that she was acting according to her orders.
"Mangong Ke was interrogated about Ronghua Palace. ”
"Your Majesty has always made a face for the concubine, but now, it's a big slap in the face. ”
The queen patted the table and stood up, "Is it really her who harmed Your Majesty?"
She was furious, and she was about to go to Ronghua Palace to settle accounts with Qin Yunyi with the hem of her skirt, "Your Majesty is so good to her, what is she not satisfied with, and she dares to harm Your Majesty?!"
Everyone hurriedly stopped her, "Niangniang, since Your Majesty has asked people to investigate, you will definitely not tolerate adultery, Niangniang, let's take a look first, if Niangniang is so impulsive, the concubine cries in front of Your Majesty, but Your Majesty has pity, raised it high, and gently let it go, what should I do?"
"She's a wolf-hearted thing, Your Majesty saved her and loved her, and she repaid Your Majesty like this. The queen said, "This palace can't wait to tear her alive." ”
"Niangniang, what about replenishing the manpower to go to Ronghua Palace?" Ruan Wan asked at the right time.
"No go, no one. The queen blurted out, "If no one waits for her to die, it should be to familiarize her with the cold palace in advance." ”
"Yes. Ruan Wanying was, her heart was full of pleasure after revenge.
When Qin Yunyi woke up, there was still no one around her, she listened attentively, there was no one outside the hall, she got up and held her head, her headache was unbearable, and she wanted to drink tea, but it was only yesterday's herbal tea.
After sitting at the table for a while, to make sure that no one would come, she sighed and stood up, went to the tea room to boil water to make tea, and there were still some snacks in the food box, she swallowed two pieces of tea, and sat back in the main hall to look at the eaves of Tianqing Palace in a daze.
Your Majesty, are you suspicious of her?
Although Qi Zongwen was called, his physical strength was not enough to support him to go to the Taiji Palace, and he palpitated when he just put on the court clothes, so he could only let people pass on the four internal ministers and the six departments to the Tianqing Palace to go back and forth to the court.
After the six ministries were over, the internal minister stayed, and Zhao Hongan arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty's poisoning this time is a matter of great importance, and your Majesty is requested to investigate it strictly." ”
"I'm already looking into it. Qi Zongwen said, "The Zhen Investigation Division is investigating." ”
Since the establishment of this department, there are some that His Majesty likes to use, and there are those that His Majesty does not like to use, but compared with departments such as the Dali Temple of the Criminal Department, the Metropolitan Procuratorate of the Criminal Department, the Department of Virginity and Investigation is still unsuccessful in some aspects.
"Your Majesty, why don't you let the Criminal Department handle this case?" Zhao Hongan asked, "The Zhen Investigation Division is considered the inner court, and Your Majesty is ready to make a big deal small?" Can you make Your Majesty accustomed to using the Zhen Investigation Department more convenient than using other criminal punishment departments, this is not what Ming Jun did.
"Could it be that Zhao Xiang asked me to go to the vegetable market to Zhang Luo, and I was poisoned?" Qi Zongwen asked rhetorically.
"Since I don't want people to know that I have been poisoned, I naturally have to have the Zhen Division to do it. ”
"But the Zhen Investigation Division only reports to His Majesty when handling the case, if His Majesty is biased, then the ministers and others have no choice. Zhao Hongan said.
"Who does Zhao Xiang think I want to favor?" Qi Zongwen asked with squinted eyes.
"What places Your Majesty went to the day before yesterday are clear and clear, will Your Majesty check?" Zhao Hongan asked.
"The people of Ronghua Palace, as well as related items, began to investigate thoroughly last night, Zhao Xiang wants to suspect that the concubine is not good for me, and come up with evidence, I will not be partial. Qi Zongwen said, "But I will never tolerate others accusing the concubine." ”
Zhao Hongan was speechless for a while.
Tang Su arched his hand and said, "It's about Your Majesty's dragon body, how cautious it is, Your Majesty is willing to investigate, and the concubine is willing to investigate, this is all a fair and upright move, so as to prevent others from talking about it." ”
"The ministers will not doubt the means of the Zhen Investigation Division, but the person behind this will be relieved as soon as the day it is found out, Chang Yunchu, the servant of the Criminal Department, is shrewd and capable, and the case is handled in the name of Qingtian, if he is allowed to assist the Zhen Investigation Division in handling the case, it is better to speed up the case. ”
"Don't you believe me?" said Qi Zongwen, "can I still joke with my own life?" ”
"It's not that I don't believe Your Majesty. Wang Fuxian said, "It's just that Your Majesty's dragon body is related to the country, and the ministers don't dare to be sloppy at all, and they don't dare to let Your Majesty work alone." ”
Qi Zongwen coughed angrily several times, Han Haili hurriedly served the teacup, and Qi Zongwen pushed him away, "Okay, let that Chang Yunchu come to assist the Zhen Division in handling the case, and let you know it clearly." ”
"Your Majesty. ”
