Chapter 747: Walking the Water
In the Qingyi Palace, there was a hysterical exclamation.
The news that someone had sent a human head to the crown princess's side spread throughout the East Palace and soon reached the ears of the crown princess.
The crown princess was stunned for a moment, and then laughed non-stop, "Who, so good at giving gifts?"
The palace maid shook her head and smiled, "I don't know, princess, do you guess whose head it is?"
The crown princess shook her head, "How can I guess this, let's say, whose it is." ”
"That human head belongs to the elder brother of the concubine, Young Master Gu," the palace maid said with a smile.
The crown princess was stunned, "Didn't he die early?"
"Before, it was said that he fell off the cliff and died, and the bones were gone, and I heard the palace maid of Qingyi Hall say that the human head didn't stink yet, it should have just been cut off, and it shouldn't have died before. ”
But I didn't die after falling off the cliff before, and I should die now.
The crown princess wanted to go to Qingyi Hall to see the excitement, but she was afraid to see the bloody human head and have nightmares at night.
At last fear overcame the excitement, she stood up, walked a few steps, and the palace maid noticed a few words on her handkerchief.
Send someone to keep an eye on the side concubine.
"Who wrote on my handkerchief?" the princess was surprised.
She has been holding this handkerchief for a long time, and she has hardly left her hand, how can anyone write on it.
Someone broke in the East Palace again?
The palace maid said, "The slave maid went to tell the prince ......." ”
The crown princess called the palace maid and said, "Come back." ”
If you really want to kill her, it's not as simple as writing on the handkerchief to remind her to stare at the side concubine, "Send someone to keep an eye on the side concubine, and come back to tell me about her every move." ”
The palace maid should go down.
Besides, Gu Yinlan was frightened by the head of the eldest brother she was thinking about, as soon as she knew that the eldest brother was still alive, he died, she would rather not know the news than grieve again.
And as soon as she was frightened, she had more than enough abdominal pain, and the palace maid was afraid that she would have fetal gas, so she hurried to the imperial doctor.
The imperial doctor hurried over with the medicine box, checked Gu Yinlan's pulse, and checked it for a long time before he said in a panic, "Does the side concubine have any signs of miscarriage these days?"
Gu Yinlan's face was pale, and the maid replied, "These days, the side concubine takes fetal pills every day, and there is no miscarriage. ”
The imperial doctor's face was ugly, and Gu Yinlan had a bad premonition in his heart, and asked, "Imperial doctor, what happened to the fetus in my womb?"
The imperial doctor was hesitant, Gu Yinlan urged him, and he said, "The minister can't feel the joy of the side concubine." ”
The crown princess is indeed pregnant, and the doctors in the hospital know about it.
Every three days, I will come to ask for peace and security.
Generally, when you are pregnant, your happy pulse will get stronger and stronger, but unlike the crown princess, her pulse is getting weaker and weaker, and she used to feel a trace of happy pulse, but now she can't do anything.
There is no miscarriage, but the happy pulse is gone, and the poor doctor has never seen such a situation for so many years, especially the lower abdomen of the prince's side concubine is still slightly bulging.
The child is still there, but it is not a happy pulse, which is really strange.
The imperial doctor was afraid that he would make a mistake, so he took it again, but there was still no happy pulse.
Gu Yinlan's face was pale, at this time, the palace maid told the princess that she was coming, afraid that the princess would talk nonsense, Gu Yinlan shook the doctor's hand fiercely, and said to the princess, "Why did the princess come over?"
The crown princess smiled, "The side concubine is pregnant, I was surprised, I'm afraid that you will come over and take a look, the child is okay, right?"
Gu Yinlan squeezed out a pale smile and said, "Princess-Xie relationship, my child and I are fine, the ill-intentioned people fabricated my eldest brother's head to scare me, how could I let her succeed?!"
The crown princess looked at the imperial doctor, and the imperial doctor replied, "The side concubine has some fetal gas, and the minister prescribes two pairs of fetal pills to take, and if there is any discomfort, the side concubine will pass it on to the imperial doctor." ”
The palace maid led the imperial physician to prescribe medicine, and the imperial physician hurried back to the imperial doctor's office, flipped through the medical book, and wanted to find out the reason why she was pregnant but couldn't get the happy pulse.
The crown princess arrived, but she couldn't see the excitement, and left after a while.
Gu Yinlan leaned on the big pillow, her hand touched her slightly bulging lower abdomen, and the slight touch made her heart cold.
Gu worms!
It must be because of the Gu worm in her body!
Gu Yinlan was panicked, she was panicked in her heart, she was about to leave the palace, but was stopped by her henchman, "Concubine Fang, it's not too early now, you can't come back when you leave the palace, let's go again tomorrow." ”
Gu Yinlan's back was cold, so he could only wait patiently for the dark and then for the dawn.
Early the next morning, she changed clothes with the maid, the maid lay on the bed for her, and she dressed as a palace maid and took the token and sneaked out of the palace.
Before leaving, he also left a message for the maid, and if the prince asked, he said that she went out of the palace to ask for ointment for Princess Qingrou.
Gu Yinlan left the palace with the front foot, and the crown princess knew about the back foot, she smiled coldly and said, "Concubine Zhao Shufei was deprived of the back position because she secretly went out of the palace, and she was a side concubine who had nothing to fear." ”
The palace maid said, "Do you want to send someone to catch her?"
The crown princess slanted like a maid, "What to catch, the crown princess has no relatives and no reason in Kyoto, the only eldest brother was killed, and he sneaked out of the palace because of the fetus, there must be a reason, send a few more people, keep an eye on me." ”
Here, Gu Yinlan sneaked out of the palace, and over there, Shangshu of the Criminal Department stepped into the imperial study.
In the case of the murder of the county lord of Changle, the only evidence now is the jade buckle, King Li is a suspect, and if you want to interrogate King Li, you have to get the emperor's nod.
After all, the identity of the king of Li County is not ordinary, the first time he came to Da Zhou, he still came to congratulate him on his birthday as an envoy, if he was innocently involved in the murder of the county lord of Changle, it was possible to provoke war between the two countries.
This crime cannot be borne by the secretary of the Criminal Department.
The emperor looked at the jade buckle, and then asked the prince what he meant, and felt that it was inappropriate to ask the case rashly, but he could ask King Lijun about the jade buckle.
After the criminal department Shangshu left the palace, he took a few of his right-hand men to the palace.
Poor Gu Yinlan saw Shangguan Hong, and before he could say a word, the guards announced, "The Shangshu of the Great Zhou Criminal Department asks to see you." ”
"Shangshu of the Criminal Department, what is he doing in the palace?" Shangguan Hong was puzzled.
Gu Yinlan said, "He must have come to investigate the case, the county lord of Changle was killed, and he picked up a jade buckle on the roof." ”
Shangguan Hong's face changed.
Leaving Gu Yinlan, he went to see the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, and at that time, King Li Jun took the jade buckle from the Shangshu of the Criminal Department and said, "This jade buckle is exactly the same as the one on the brocade robe of the king of this county, but it is not the king of this county." ”
The Shangshu of the Criminal Department asked, "In addition to the prince of the county, who else uses such a jade buckle for his brocade robe?"
King Li Jun looked at Shangguan Hong and said, "Brother Shangguan, I remember that you have a ....... ”
"The king of the county remembers wrongly, I didn't. ”
Shangguan Hong refused.
King Li Jun raised his eyebrows, his memory is not so bad, Brother Shangguan is so eager to veto, could it be that this jade buckle has a lot to do.
King Li Jun was about to ask, when at this time, there was a cry from the palace maid outside, "It's water!"
Shangshu of the Criminal Department walked out and saw the side hall where Shangguan Hongzhu was on fire.
The palace eunuchs and palace maids hurriedly extinguished the fire, and at this time, the palace door opened, and Gu Yinlan ran out, coughing while running, discouraged.
The Shangshu of the Criminal Department frowned tightly.
