Chapter 44: Killing the Father

"She?" Qi was slightly stunned when he heard this, and after thinking about it, he said, "Her affairs seem to have spread all over the outside: when the 'epidemic' happened in the mansion, Deping happened to be taken by the concubine to live in the palace." Later, after the bad news of Concubine Mo and their children reached the palace, the concubine said that she was young and couldn't get up from excessive grief, and she was afraid that Concubine Mo would lose so much blood and bones, so she ordered her to kowtow in the direction of the palace in the palace, and then set aside a small courtyard to guard filial piety, and never came back to attend the funeral from beginning to end. ”

Sheng Weiqiao understood that this was for fear that Princess Gaomi would cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and when the county lord of Deping returned to the palace, she would also kill the county lord.

From this point of view, Concubine Mo obviously loves the grandchildren born to her son by her niece.

Therefore, Sheng Weiqiao felt more and more that the concubine would let the lord of Deping County grow to the age of twenty, which was really weird.

After that, she lived in the palace with the concubine and never came back. Qi continued, "Since the concubine has not appeared since the New Year's holidays, she was probably young at that time, and she followed the concubine in and out, so she did not appear in palace banquets and festivals for several years. It wasn't until a few years ago, when she was at the age when she could discuss her marriage, probably because the concubine didn't give her this matter, that she started to run around by herself, but whenever there was any opportunity to see a foreign man, she didn't let it go...... This. ”

Obviously, the Qi family thought that the county lord of Deping rushed forward when he seized the opportunity to marry before, and even made a move to drug Meng Guiyu was very embarrassing for the palace, and his tone was a little disdainful, "It's fortunate that she hasn't come back all those years, otherwise people think that the girls in our house are like her, I don't know what to say!"

However, probably thinking of the life experience of the lord of Deping, this kind of "marriage" move is somewhat helpless, and he is also a little emotional, and put down the pink and blue glazed gold parrot spring flower tea bowl that he just picked up, and sighed lightly, "Speaking of which, I didn't see her when I entered the door, and the first time I met her in the palace, if it weren't for someone around me to know, and the whispering was heard by me, I don't know who she is!"

Sheng Weiqiao leaned over slightly, approached Qi's family, and asked, "So the concubine was disgusted with her a few years ago?" That's right, otherwise she would have told her about someone a long time ago...... But I don't know what it is that makes the concubine so angry?"

Seeing that she was very interested in this question, Qi Shiben came to her lips and swallowed back, pursed her lips, and said in a low voice: "I have heard some rumors about this, but it must not be spread outside: because it is really not a shameful thing for our house!"

After getting Sheng Weiqiao's assurance, Qi continued, "It is said that she took advantage of the concubine's trust, and on the birthday of her father one year, the concubine gave the opportunity to make longevity noodles from the palace and ......poisoned the noodle soup."

Sheng Weiqiao was stunned: "...... then father?"

"Father is fine. Qi shook his head and said, "She is very ordinary, after all, although it was very convenient for her to enter and leave the palace at that time, and she had the favor of the concubine to maintain her identity in the palace and outside the palace, and she did things much more smoothly than later, but if the concubine knew that she was poisoning, she would definitely be suspicious and ask questions." So she could only take the opportunity to leave the palace, change her face and go to the pharmacy to spend money to buy a young man who is obsessed with money, and privately wrapped some strychnine for her. ”

"And in order to prevent the secret hands of the Meng family, my father is usually very careful about food and clothing, even if it is the food sent by the concubine, it is from the palace, and I am afraid that someone will do tricks and feet in the middle, so it will be specially checked before it will be entered...... That time, it was found that it was poisoned, so it was useless for my father. ”

At that time, my father thought that Meng had done it, and after sending someone to tell the concubine, the concubine immediately arrested all the people who would come into contact with the noodle soup and tortured them to find out Meng's secret son. ”

In the end, it turned out that everyone was innocent, and it was Deping who was really poisoned...... What do you think the concubine will be angry with her father?"

Sheng Weiqiao was even more stunned: "So the concubine still left Deping in the palace?"

Even if it is for the sake of the love of the ancestors and grandchildren, if you don't kill this granddaughter, you should send it to the well-guarded Zhuangzi, or marry a corner where the emperor is far away and has no hope of seeing Chang'an again in this life, right?

For example, Meng's previous treatment of Meng Liyi and Meng Liti.

After all, to put it mildly, if Concubine Mo hadn't had such a son as King Gaomi, no matter how beautiful she was when she was young, she would have gone to the palace with those childless concubines to stay in the palace and wait for death after the first emperor left!

In this way, even if the concubine is a strange person who regards her niece and niece's biological flesh and blood as more important than her own son, out of consideration for her own situation, she can't sit back and watch King Gaomi have an accident!

…… As a result, the county lord of Deping wanted to kill King Gaomi, and Concubine Mo actually wanted to keep this granddaughter by her side?

Is this for fear that this granddaughter will not find a second chance to poison King Gaomi, or is it deliberately used the opportunity to prevent her from leaving the cabinet to toss this granddaughter?

No matter which one it is, Sheng Weiqiao thinks this concubine is ...... It's all a little ...... Incomprehensible......

However, she knew why the county lord of Deping later got the medicine to pit Meng Guiyu, and the co-author had already had experience in medicine, and the first time he used it to kill his father!

"It seems to have something to do with the male heir who was praised by my father?" Qi said, "Is that Deping's compatriot eldest brother, it seems that when the concubine wanted to send Deping away, Deping mentioned that brother...... The concubine should be very upset that Concubine Mo's mother and son are gone in the 'epidemic', and then she relented and allowed her to stay. ”

But I didn't dare to kiss her, because I was afraid that after she left the cabinet, she would pry her husband's family against her father. ”

Sheng Weiqiao: ".................."

She calmed down and reminded her sister-in-law, "Didn't my sister-in-law hear about the flower-viewing banquet before?" Deping dressed up to attend at that time, and also brought a silk ring, Aunt Wuyang recognized it, saying that it was given to the concubine by the first emperor, and Deping said that the concubine specially found it for the flower-viewing banquet and gave it to her. ”

In other words, Concubine Mo intended to kill her father to the county lord of Deping...... To be precise, he wanted to use this method to ruin the entire Gaomi Wang faction, drag the concubine, the princess and the princess's own flesh and blood at the same time, and even include the Zhao Mansion, the Yuan family and other hardcore Gaomi kings sent together to go to Huangquan, so they were so resentful that Rong Sleeping Crane returned, and he was angry?

Well, combined with Qi's saying that Concubine Mo has always been haunted by the death of Concubine Mo's mother and son, at that time, Sheng Wei Qiao guessed that Concubine Mo's change of attitude towards the county lord of Deping was because Rong Sleeping Crane was in a good mood after coming back, which should be wrong.

The real reason is that the concubine was in a very bad mood after hearing that Rong Sleeping Crane came back well, and deliberately disgusted Princess Gaomi's mother and son with being good to the lord of Deping, right?

…… It's no wonder that Princess Gaomi has not let Concubine Mo see the sleeping crane until now.

Such a pit grandmother, she wants to hit someone when she hears it!

So when the concubine asked about the third brother, the mother didn't stop her, and even the things that the concubine wanted to reward the third brother with, the mother didn't let her in. Qi smiled, and consciously accompanied his brother and daughter-in-law to discuss the former grievances and hatreds of the palace, and it was almost here.

At this moment, seeing Sheng Weiqiao groaning, he took the opportunity to say, "I don't know what my brother and sister sent to talk about yesterday......

"Look at me!" Sheng Weiqiao was reminded, and was also a little embarrassed, and hurriedly asked someone to take the stack of records, "Mizhen said that she was afraid that something would be missed by paraphrasing, so she asked someone to record it, so that sister-in-law can read it slowly, if you have any doubts, ask me again, I'll tell you!"

Qi Shi saw that the stack of records was thick, and the top was neatly written, densely written, obviously very detailed, he was delighted, and said gratefully: "It's really troublesome for you!"

Sheng Weiqiao was polite to her, and used the excuse that she wanted to go outside to see the bamboo forest, so that she could concentrate on reading the records.

Qi then specially sent a big girl to show her the way, this Cui Huang Courtyard as the residence of Wang Shizi after marriage, the area is naturally not small, but the inside and outside are planted with the same color of bamboo, except for a few pots of orchid grass and peonies under the corridor, there is basically no other Hui wood.

Although this is elegant, Sheng Weiqiao's home in Nanfeng County also has such a large bamboo forest in the garden, so it is boring to turn around twice.

At this time, I turned a corner and happened to see Jian'an Junjun with a boy who looked like four or five years old, standing under a clump of bamboo branches.

Jian'an Junjun half-squatted on the ground, the girl wore a hanging hair in a bun, obliquely inserted two inlaid sheep fat jade red sapphire gold hairpins, the light spots filtered by the bamboo leaves happened to be sprinkled on the hairpins, reflecting a little gold spots; she wore a short undergarment embroidered with jasmine flowers in light foundation, but a big red pomegranate skirt was tied underneath, and the bottom of the skirt was slightly exposed with cloud-tipped crested shoes, which was particularly eye-catching in the green fence courtyard of Bisensen, and was coaxing the boy in a low voice.

Because the two youngest sons of Qi and Rong Qingchu are one year apart, Sheng Weiqiao has only seen them once on the day of the tea ceremony, and he didn't pay special attention to the difference in their appearance at that time, and after so many days, it is not Rong Lingshu or Rong Lingsui who are not eating much at this time, and when he got closer, he chuckled: "Jian'an, where are you and your brother here?"

"Third aunt!" Jian'an Junjun was originally facing her side, Sheng Weiqiao was slender and walked lightly, at this moment the wind passed under the bamboo, setting off a slow sound of bamboo waves, covering other movements nearby, she didn't notice that someone was approaching. Hearing the voice, he was taken aback, quickly stood up, turned his head and saw that it was the new elder, he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly pulled his younger brother up to salute, and whispered, "Fifth brother, say hello to the third aunt!"

When Sheng Weiqiao heard this, he knew that the boy at this time was the fifth elder Rong Lingwan, and glanced at him, children at this age, especially boys, were originally naughty, but probably because the Qi family was well-disciplined, even though Rong Lingwan pouted at the moment, not very happy, he still saluted obediently, and greeted him with a little choked: "Hello third aunt!"

"What's the matter?" Sheng Weiqiao saw that the child had just cried, so he naturally wanted to ask.

"Auntie, it's like this: my niece told my brother that this road was not easy to walk, and asked my brother to let me hold it, or asked my nurse to hold it, but she just refused to listen!" Rong Lingyu was about to speak when he heard this, and Jian'an Junjun had already replied, "Didn't you fall as a result?"

Sheng Weiqiao hurriedly asked, "Does it matter?"

Jian'an Junjun said with a smile: "Auntie, don't worry, it's not a big deal, it's just that he feels wronged." ”

Sheng Weiqiao looked at Rong Lingwei, and saw that in addition to his red eyes and small face full of grievances, his body was very neat, not like he was injured, so he breathed a sigh of relief and smiled and advised: "Lingguan will still listen to my sister in the future!"

Rong Lingyu was probably a little scared, and when he heard this, he opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he nodded timidly.

Sheng Weiqiao still wanted to say a few words to them and show the image of the next loving aunt, but at this time, the Qi family had already read the records and sent someone out to find her.
