Chapter 160: East Palace (4)
After a few more days, it was almost the Dragon Boat Festival in a blink of an eye, and the yard was busy hanging wormwood inside and out, preparing realgar wine, and the patterns in the hands of the young girls and girls had also become five poisons.
The weather is getting hotter and hotter.
Before the news from Lu Zhan came, the Cheng'an Hou Mansion first received Jiangnan's family letter.
A thick stack.
Wang unfolded them one by one, and when he turned to Qin Weien's handwriting, he couldn't help but look at it twice, and then looked at Qin Yuan's letters, and found that there was a stack of family letters, one of which was on the cover of the envelope, and there was no name written on it, only the word Lanqing was written in small letters on the back.
Wang glanced at it twice, and thought that it was probably sent to Hui Zhi by Pei Gu.
Pei Guzi Lanqing, when the two of them passed the eight characters, the Wang family had seen it.
She then asked Linglong to send this handwritten letter to the Yuhua Pavilion together with the letters written by Qin Weien and Qin Yuan to Huizhi.
Linglong responded with a smile, and brought some Jiangnan Tuyi and new things along the way.
After Hui Zhi got the letter, she began to read them one by one.
Qin Yuan's letter was no different from usual, saying something new about Jiangnan, about the time the letter was delivered, the emperor and his party had not yet arrived, and it should have been sent along with his father's letter on the road.
Qin Weien's letter didn't say anything. Hui Zhi combed her hair by Peilan while reading, and at the end of the reading, she couldn't help but be taken aback.
The letters sent by the messengers who went to the government were naturally written by the people, and if there was anything important, I am afraid that they could only send secret letters.
But her father mentioned in the letter that he intended to let her marry Pei Gu earlier.
Hui Zhi was a little puzzled.
was stunned for a moment, when Pei Lan was curling her hair, she accidentally pulled a trace of Hui Zhi's hair, Hui Zhi couldn't help but "oops", Pei Lan hurriedly stopped and apologized.
"It's okay, it's just that I was stunned when I read the letter. ”
Immediately took a few people to Jiamutang to see the Wang family.
"The eldest princess came over a few days ago and said a few words. It is said that it means the Empress Dowager. Wang didn't know that Hui Zhi also knew, so he told her the situation carefully.
Reassure her.
Hui Zhi then accompanied her mother to talk, but she didn't expect two quarters of an hour later. Zhao Laijia, the steward of the front yard, hurriedly entered Jiamu Hall with a look.
Wang couldn't help frowning and asked, "But what's wrong?"
Zhao Lai is the steward of the front yard, and he is very valued by Qin Weien, and Zhao Lai's family is not an errand in the backyard. In the front yard is a housekeeper mother with a head and a face. She had a round face, and she looked happy, it was rare to be so in a hurry.
"News from the palace, the crown princess has a difficult birth..."Zhao Lai's face was very ugly.
The crown princess has a bad pregnancy, and the prince is not concerned about her. Everyone in the capital knows, she is afraid that the news will come out, Wang is also a pregnant woman, and now it is five months old, although the fetus is stable, but she is still afraid that she will feel uncomfortable when she hears such news.
Wang asked eagerly, "Have you been born?"
Zhao Lai hesitated and didn't know what to say, "I had a seizure last morning, and I was born easily, it's a girl." But the womb is weak, and I heard that it is not very good. The Crown Princess... It's up. ”
When the Wang family heard that the crown princess was killed, they couldn't help but be taken aback.
The child in her belly kicked her again.
A group of people hurriedly stepped forward, and Wang waved his hand: "It's not so delicate." The little ancestor kicked me, and it was fine. Turning his face and continuing to ask Zhao Lai's family, "Poor one... The crown princess died in childbirth?"
Zhao Lai saw that she didn't look like a big deal, and replied cautiously: "That's what the news in the palace says. The crown princess has a bad body, and her pregnancy has not been good, and she is worried during pregnancy. It shouldn't have been born right now, but I don't know what I heard. I still saw something, I was angry, and I woke up early in the morning. It hurt all day, and I was born this morning. I didn't expect that she couldn't stop the bleeding, her body was weak and weak, just..."
Wang sighed in his heart, "Tell the housekeepers and mothers to come over." It's also royal anyway, so it's inevitable to bring a few days of filial piety. The bright colors are all replaced, and the second room and Mrs. Tai's side. Let's get the word out. ”
Zhao Laijia responded and retreated.
Wang Shi looked at the clothes he was wearing, the color was very light, and then looked at Hui Zhi, wearing a willow yellow embroidered oleander gown, accompanied by a pink skirt, Hui Zhi got up and said, "I'll go back and change my clothes, and then come to see my mother." ”
Wang answered, and waved his hand again, "Come back in the evening." I went back and changed my clothes, and it was time for lunch. The furnishings in the yard are manpowered, and I have to arrange for a while, and come back to accompany me in the evening. ”
Hui Zhi returned to the Yuhua Pavilion, and Jiang Caiqiong hurriedly walked over with a stack of papers in her hand.
"Did you find out?" asked Hui Zhi, staring at the stack of papers.
Jiang Caiqiong bowed, but her expression was a little gloomy.
"You know that... Crown Princess. ”
"What to say about dystocia, pregnancy worries. Jiang Caiqiong's face was indignant, "It's clear that the prince is angry, and the queen also turns a blind eye." It's not so much that the crown princess died in childbirth, but that she was forced to die by the prince!"
Hui Zhi hurriedly stepped forward to cover her mouth and asked the girl serving next to her to go back and change her clothes first.
Jiang Caiqiong saw that she was in the courtyard, so she didn't say much, pulled Huizhi into the house, and put a stack of stationery in her hand on the table: "You can see it yourself." ”
One by one, in black and white, the more Hui Zhi looked, the more frightened she became.
I didn't expect the prince to be so bold, and he planned to force the princess to death from the beginning.
Hui Zhizai carefully looked at the news from Lu Feng in her hand, and Jiang Caiqiong said a few words next to her from time to time, "The news in the palace is slow to investigate, but the news in the prison is much easier to check." ”
Hui Zhi glanced up at her, "You mean..."
Jiang Caiqiong nodded: "I'm talking about red medicine." After Hongyao was put in prison, he was originally waiting for arraignment. But someone replaced him in the night. ”
"The prince's people, why did the prince change the red medicine?"
Jiang Caiqiong's face was a little embarrassed: "The prince is the same as your second uncle, a good man." ”
Hui Zhi pursed her lips.
It's all a mess.
"Li Da, the guard in the prison of the Criminal Department, ate wine at night, and there was sweat medicine in the wine. It was about the prince's hand, and he didn't dare to kill it, so he had to take medicine. There was a jailer who happened to have a stomachache for a few days, and was pulled together by several people to drink, but he didn't drink much, and his spirit was not good, so he also fell asleep in a daze. When I was half-asleep at night, I saw someone dragging out a prisoner, but another one was put in. Li Da was suspicious in his heart, and he was afraid that he would suffer an accident if he shouted out, so he kept holding back and didn't say anything. Jiang Caiqiong explained the reason in detail.
"What about Li Da now?" asked Hui Zhi.
Thinking that he had encountered something terrible, it didn't take long for him to quit his errand in prison, only saying that his mother told him to go home to marry his daughter-in-law, and he fled to a village on the outskirts of Beijing to become a farmer. ”
"But Hongyao's identity is not ordinary, the prince replaced him in this way, and boldly raised him in the palace... This is incredible. Hui Zhi wondered.
"When the emperor was in the palace before, the prince asked people to dress up Hongyao as a little eunuch, and he was confined at first. Now that the emperor is not in the palace, he is bold. Jiang Caiqiong thought of Hongyao's domineering appearance in the East Palace, and she became angry.
A good person like the crown princess (to be continued.) )
