Chapter 470: Wronged Souls
King Rui Cheng didn't think this matter was too strict.
Mu Shi didn't expect King Rui Cheng to really believe what she said, she told King Rui Cheng this, just in case, lest when something happened, King Rui Cheng said something not to tell him or something like that.
After that, King Rui Cheng hesitated a little and said, "Xiuwen is pregnant...... You're her mother-in-law after all, shouldn't you go over and take a look? ”
"I have already explained to the princess, and the princess will go later." Mu Shi was very cold on her face, and letting Tang do superficial work was already her greatest patience for Xiuwen.
A girl's family, before and after leaving the cabinet, the mother-in-law's family is not in peace, even if it is not one in the big week, it can also be ranked in the top three, for such a concubine, it is better to stay away, if the contact is too close, I am afraid that it will cause trouble.
King Rui Cheng also had nothing to say.
A few days later, after the Tang family found out, a companion room brought over by Xiuwen after getting married frequently returned to Ruicheng Wangfu before Ning Ya'er had an accident, and the companion room also had a sister who stayed in Ruicheng Wangfu on an errand, and was in charge of the people's meals in the kitchen, and she could just contact Ning Yaer.
It's already very good to find out this, in order to avoid startling the snake, Mu Shi asked the Tang family not to investigate any further, because it is not easy to find out if there is real evidence, and it is difficult to charge Xiuwen with anything, even if she doesn't push it all out, she sympathizes with Ning Ya'er. I can't bear to see her tortured to death, what can others say?
The people in the house know it. Just watch out for it in the future.
However, before Mu Shi could come up with any good ideas, he warned Xiuwen. An unfortunate news came back that Xiuwen had a miscarriage.
It just so happened that after the Tang family went to see Xiuwen, it was said that he had eaten something cold by mistake, and Xiuwen insisted that he felt unwell after stewing the ginseng sent by his mother's family.
The Yang family has the meaning of asking Ruicheng Wangfu Xingshi about the crime.
Mu Shi didn't defend at all, there was no evidence, and the Yang family was just knocking on the side, and she was worried about another thing now, thinking about it for a few days. immediately made a decision to take the family back to the old house in the countryside for a while.
Avoid the rights and wrongs of Yancheng, as for the one qiē in the mansion, whatever King Ruicheng does, just don't implicate her mother and son.
Out of sensitivity to current affairs, she only felt that Yancheng had been very dangerous recently, and there was no reason, it was just an intuition, relying on a woman's intuition. She has dodged countless calculations, even if this move will make people think that she is weak-hearted, she doesn't care, she is not afraid of shadows. After all, some rumors are only temporary.
……
in the Royal Palace.
Concubine Yang, who got the news, cried like an emperor and complained about how vicious Princess Ruicheng was. actually framed the daughter of the foreign marriage and asked the emperor to make the decision for the Yang family. Severely punish the cadres of the Ruicheng Palace.
The emperor listened to it with a big head, what kind of medicine. What a miscarriage, this couldn't help but touch his old hatred again, and because of his affection for Concubine Yang, he has been holding back.
Concubine Yang, who was too angry, didn't pay attention to the emperor's expression, and only cried, "Your Majesty, you want to be the master of the concubine's family?" Princess Ruicheng really said that it was too much, how could such a poisonous woman be worthy of the identity of a first-class princess? ”
The emperor pressed his temperament and persuaded him: "Concubine Ai, don't worry, this matter has to be investigated carefully, according to Concubine Ai, it is just some speculation, and there is no actual evidence, maybe this is just a misunderstanding, think about it, the imperial doctor is only suspicious, and did not find out what kind of medicine Xiuwen took by mistake, and nothing was found in the residue, how can it be concluded that it was Princess Ruicheng?" ”
"Your Majesty, do you know that some cold things can be smeared on food, and after boiling once, they melt into the soup, and people are poisoned after drinking the soup, and there is not much left on the residue at all, and it cannot be detected." Concubine Yang was anxious, and said, "What's more, that medicine is only for pregnant women, for others, it is indeed harmless, ginseng is precious, not to mention, according to the concubine's knowledge, ginseng is a great tonic, and some subordinates will cook the boiled ginseng again to drink, which is not detectable in the residue......"
As Concubine Yang chattered, the emperor's eyes became colder and colder when he looked at Concubine Yang.
Concubine Yang finally felt the emperor's displeasure, and those eyes seemed to have a faint anger brewing, and she couldn't help but shudder, and said, "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you, why do you look at your concubines like this?" ”
"I just think that Concubine Ai is very proficient in how to drug pregnant women." The emperor's words almost came out between his teeth, and his gaze at Concubine Yang was as cold as a knife.
Concubine Yang was shocked, and suddenly thought of the death of Concubine Yan before, secretly regretted, and listened to the cry of her mother's mother entering the palace, saying that the Yang family saw that there was a grandson, or it came out of the belly of the county lord of Xiuwen, and it was even more noble, and the mother's family was happy, but it turned out to be this kind of misfortune.
I have also found many rooms for my brothers before, but none of them can be conceived, it is easy for Xiuwen to get pregnant, but it has flowed away, and I don't know if I can make other women pregnant in the future, seeing that the Yang family is about to die, she was in a hurry, and she was a little messy, and she inadvertently hurt the emperor's sore spot, and in a hurry, she could only stammer: "The concubine also just heard what her mother said...... Many women in the inner house like to use this method to assassinate others. ”
"Really? So who did the concubine's mother listen to? It was the wicked woman who had harmed people in this way, and the concubine could only speak out, and I would be the first to punish these poisonous women. The emperor stared at Concubine Yang and said word by word.
"This, this...... The mother didn't make it clear, and besides, these secret things were only circulated in the inner house...... There is no conclusive evidence of who used it...... The concubines didn't dare to talk nonsense. Concubine Yang was flustered, and her speech stuttered even more.
Concubine Yang's frenzy was a sign of weakness in the eyes of the emperor, and she said angrily: "That's just hearsay? However, such a thing without evidence, Concubine Ai said it as if she had experienced it as a concubine, I really didn't expect it! ”
"Your Majesty ......" Concubine Yang saw that the situation was not good, and knelt down with a plop, like pear blossoms with rain. cried, "The emperor is Mingjian." The concubine was really just worried about her mother's family, and she said the wrong thing for a while. ”
"Aifei doesn't have to be like this. I think what Concubine Ai said is true. Under the emperor's anger, his tone became calmer and calmer, and he also helped Concubine Yang up, "Concubine Ai is weak, it is better to take care of your body, don't think too much, I have been busy with affairs recently, and I may not have time to take care of Concubine Ai." ”
"Your Majesty ......" Concubine Yang really cried this time, pulling the emperor's sleeve and pleading.
The emperor no longer has the heart to pity the jade this time. pushed Concubine Yang away vigorously, ordered the palace people to take good care of Concubine Yang, and left without looking back.
Subsequently, the emperor issued an edict, saying that Concubine Yang was unwell and needed to recuperate, and the concubines and concubines in the palace were not allowed to disturb at will, and the people in Concubine Yang's palace should also serve the master wholeheartedly and should not go out.
This is an oracle. is obviously taking care of Concubine Yang, but in fact, it is tantamount to sending Concubine Yang into the cold palace.
The concubines of the palace were secretly excited, and at the same time, they couldn't help but quietly inquire to see why Concubine Yang angered the emperor.
The message I got was. Concubine Yang didn't know how thick the sky was, and some of the dirty things that happened in her mother's house actually wanted the emperor to be the master. This son of heaven is not a folk three aunts and six women, can he still care about these idle things? Naturally, I am impatient. Besides, since Concubine Yang became favored by the red beauty, her grace is not as good as before. The emperor probably got tired of her for a long time, and at this time he was looking for an excuse to dislike her.
The news in the palace sometimes spreads quickly, and the news reaches the ears of Princess Mu Shi, the princess of Ruicheng, who had just packed up her things and was about to leave Yancheng, and Mu Shi was surprised, but also felt that her decision was right.
I have long known that things are weird, and I heard that Concubine Yang sent two beauties to the palace a year ago, and then instigated the emperor to send many grandmothers to the princess.
No, it didn't take long for Concubine Yang to be unlucky, how long did it take for King Ding to leave Yancheng? People who don't know still think that Princess Ding has no backer, so she is weak and can be bullied, but as everyone knows, some women play with power and scheming, but they are more good than men.
The dispute between the women in the inner house is naturally resolved by the woman herself, and it is obvious that this Dingwangfu is a powerful character, and the people who threaten her are eliminated without making a sound.
Mu Shi judged things, did not ask the reason, did not pay attention to the process, just looked at the results, on the surface, there seems to be no connection between Concubine Yang, Xiuwen, and Ruicheng Wangfu.
But if you investigate it seriously, many things have a faint shadow of Princess Ding, and these people who are hostile to Princess Ding have disappeared or lost their threat for some reason, but there is no direct evidence to prove that Princess Ding has anything to do with this matter.
For example, Xiuwen's miscarriage, it is not an exaggeration for the Yang family to say that it has nothing to do with Dingwangfu, and the two families have not moved, but after Ning Yaer, some things can be strung together, and the final beneficiary is Princess Ding.
Mu Shi asked himself, he is not an opponent of others, and he doesn't want to get involved in these inexplicable battles, can't he hide if he can't be provoked? She still took her son and daughter-in-law to live in the countryside for a year and a half, and after the matter passed, she would see if she would decide whether to come back.
At the beginning, the princess Tang was still very unhappy, thinking that if they left like this, wouldn't they give up the entire Ruicheng Mansion to the third room?
Mu Shi is too lazy to talk too much nonsense with the Tang family, the Tang family is smart, but he can't grasp the overall situation.
Isn't it just to stay in the countryside for a while? This King Ruicheng is not old and confused, can he give the entire palace to the third child in this year and a half, can they?
Even if King Ruicheng is really confused, there are still some people in the house who understand, some of King Ruicheng's concubines are all towards her, the Ning family is unpopular, and has offended many people, if there is really any trouble, there will naturally be someone to report the news, and it will not be too late to come back when the time comes.
In order to persuade the Tang family, she also deliberately said that if the Tang family was not at ease, she would let the prince stay in Yancheng to accompany the prince, and the Tang family would accompany her to live in the countryside for a few days.
At this mentions, Tang immediately said that as a child, he should be filial piety in front of his mother, and the prince should also go back to his hometown to get to know some elders in his hometown, and naturally there must be a man to preside over the ancestors.
Just like that, they were finally going to leave Yancheng.
The carriage passed through the Dingwang Mansion.
Mu Shi accidentally looked at the gate of Dingwang's Mansion, the gate of the palace was closed, and there were a few guards standing outside, all of them with evil faces, looking extremely vicious, and the pair of stone lions at the door, I don't know how, were much more vicious than others.
This is really an ominous place, and the people who live in it may not know how many lives have been stained with them.
……
While Mu Shi muttered, he was in the king's mansion.
Although Su Yiqing has lived in the palace for a long time, she is not blind to things outside the window, she also knows many things, or rather, there are some things that Green Teng did not deliberately conceal, and Mrs. Meng occasionally came to talk about something outside.
The miscarriage of the lord of Xiuwen County and the fall of favor from Concubine Yang were all said by Mrs. Meng first, and she only learned the exact news after asking about the green vine.
In other words, a possible crisis was resolved so quietly and bloodily.
If she said that this matter had nothing to do with Dingwangfu, she would say that she would not believe anything.
At this moment, she suddenly felt that her husband, who was thousands of miles away, was very strange.
She never knew this man, she could control the overall situation so far away, don't underestimate some inconspicuous little things in the house, many times, a big family is ruined by a few women.
In her previous life, she read the history books, starting from women, in fact, is the easiest, smart men often use women to achieve their goals, the common is to use women to implement beauty tricks or sow discord, not that women are stupider than men, but sometimes, women are in too difficult situations, and it is more difficult for them to resist the temptation and be easily separated.
Lian Yufeng took advantage of some trivial things in the back house, and easily brought down a favorite concubine, and cleaned up her entire family by the way, how did she do it?
And his purpose in doing this is also obvious, that is, to make the harem chaotic, to make the emperor upset, and he has no time to take care of other things, and by the way, to eradicate the people in the court who are not good for him.
Concubine Yang fell out of favor, the balance of the harem was broken, and many concubines had to start using means to fight for the position and fill the vacancy vacated by Concubine Yang.
Outside the harem, the major families are also gearing up to help the beauties they support, hoping to win greater benefits in the harem with this matter.
There are even wealthy families who began to search for stunning beauties among the people and sent them to the harem to compete for favor.
All in all, it's a lot of fun, and it's definitely a vicious competition.
It's just that those innocent people who were implicated, the Xiuwen County Lord had a miscarriage, how many innocent servants were going to be killed because of this, they didn't know how they died, and they didn't even know why they were implicated, they only knew that they were very unlucky, and they became dead souls under the knife for no reason.
