Chapter 56
Xiang Zhe, who got the news, was already waiting at the door, and when he saw her coming, he immediately stepped forward and said, "Why did you come out in such a hurry?" But what happened? Father was already waiting in the study," he said, leading her towards Grandpa Guo's study. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Nie Qishu also hurriedly followed Xiang Zhe and said, "It's indeed a big deal, today Old Madam Nie entered the palace to plead with me, and I asked her about the secret of the jade seal."
Xiang Zhe paused, his face was surprised, and then he said solemnly, "Come into the house and say, my father is already waiting for us in the study."
When I entered the study, I saw Grandpa Guo holding a teacup in one hand on the main seat
There were only three of them in the room at this time
Xiang Xuxiong, the prince of Zhenguo, simply said, "Sit"
Nie Qishu didn't procrastinate, and then sat down and asked, "Father, do you know how the old prince died?" ”
Zhenguo Gong was surprised, obviously not expecting her to suddenly ask this, "I learned that the emperor died and suddenly had a heart attack, what are you asking for?"
Nie Qishu said with a solemn face, "I want to know what was going on at that time."
Zhen Guogong recalled the events at that time and said slowly, "At that time, Tang Ning and I took Zhe'er to serve in Shaanxi, and we were not at home, and I heard my father's henchmen say that they received the news that the first emperor in the palace was critically ill and hurried to the palace, who knew that he still didn't have time to see the first emperor The last time the emperor died, my father was excited and sad and suddenly had a heart attack, and he couldn't get out of the palace, and after the third prince ascended the throne, he and the queen mother also graced his father as the princess and buried him with the princely ceremony."
Nie Qishu frowned and said, "So, is the old prince in the palace?" ”
Zhenguo said fairly, "That's right, what's wrong?" ”
Nie Qishu shook her head and said, "According to Mrs. Nie, before the emperor died, she announced that after the old prince entered the palace, the jade seal of the country was gone, I think it is likely that Li Xun and the queen mother thought that the first emperor gave the jade seal to the old prince, and let the thirteenth prince of the Zhenguo Mansion succeed to the throne, but I didn't expect the first emperor to die suddenly, and then they forced the old prince to ask about the whereabouts of the old prince jade, and the old prince died in the palace, and even the first emperor was killed by them jumping over the wall."
Xiang Zhe listened to Nie Qishu's speculation, and looked at Zhenguo in disbelief: "How come, grandfather, he ...... Was it killed? ”
I saw Xiang Xuxiong ponder for a moment and said, "I also suspected your grandfather's death back then, and when I rushed back from Shaanxi, I even secretly sent someone to check the exact cause of death, but it turned out to be a sudden heart attack, and the matter was stopped."
Nie Qishu continued to ask, "What about the old people in the former Guogong Mansion, ask them if the old Guogong entered the palace before the death of the first emperor, and did he bring anything with him when he came back?" And then this thing got there again, and I think there will always be people who know about it."
After Nie Qishu's reminder, Xiang Zhe thought: "What about Grandpa Zheng, the most trusted manager of my grandfather during his lifetime?" ”
Grandpa Guo said, "After your grandfather died, he held a funeral, and then returned to his hometown and returned to his ancestral hometown of Shandong, during that time, the third prince had just succeeded to the throne and was very chaotic, and I didn't have time to care about these trivial matters, so I simply responded, and gave enough rituals to now I don't know if I am still alive, if I am alive, I will be more than seventy years old."
At this time, the stakes are very high, and Grandpa Guo solemnly said to Xiang Zhe, "Without further ado, you will go to Shandong in person immediately and ask about the events of the year."
After a thorough investigation and evidence collection by the Criminal Department, it was found that the fraud involved six officials including the Ministry of Rites and Rites, among which the Ministry of Officials was also involved. All the officials involved in the case were dismissed from their posts and demoted to commoners, and they were never hired.
For a time, all forces broke their minds in order to compete for the position of the secretary of the ministry. Nie Qishu naturally also received news from Li Chen, and tried to find a way to let Peng Zhi, the household servant, take over.
Peng Zhi is not a person from either side, and he is tough and unsociable, and only admits death, so it seems that only he has taken over the position of the secretary of the ministry, which will not cause Li Xun's resistance.
What gave Nie Qishu a headache was that he was a household servant, how could he be transferred to the ministry without obstacles. It is definitely not okay to act rashly, Li Xun is not a fool, it will be over if he finds out. It seems that there is a foolproof solution.
Besides, on the harem side, she cleaned up the poisoned Nie Yuanniang with a thunderous momentum, which scared Dai Jieyu into nightmares for several days.
This time, I was really frightened by the wind chill, and the whole person instantly lost weight.
When she heard the news that Nie Yuanniang was stabbed to death on the charge of murdering Concubine Yi, Dai Jieyu couldn't sit still anymore.
I wanted to send the chair back to Yiren Palace several times in a row, but was rejected by Nie Qishu.
She just smiled and said, "Since it is the dragon heir in Jieyu's womb, and it is the emperor himself, how can I come back, it seems that the palace is a small family, do you say it is Dai Jieyu"
It's just that there was no warmth in her tone when she said this
Joke! How can she say that she will leave when she wants to leave, and she will return it when she says she will return it.
In fact, according to Nie Qishu's temper of revenge, this Dai Jieyu is the accomplice who killed her this time, Nie Qishu will definitely not let her go, but first, she is pregnant Li Xun and watches it more closely, and secondly, almost all women in the harem are staring at Dai Jieyu's belly.
Nie Qishu didn't want to get into that trouble now. Maybe when the time comes, without her hands, Dai Jieyu won't be able to save her life.
A few days later, when Li Xun came to see her again, she took the initiative to talk about the old lady's entry into the palace, after all, three big living people entered her Yiren Palace, and it was impossible to hide it from everyone, so it was better for her to speak first.
"The old lady came to beg the concubine to intercede with the emperor, if the concubine can dare to ask the emperor to leave a little blood for the Nie family, my surname is Nie after all, if the Nie family breaks off the incense, my father will not forgive me" said with red eyes. In fact, she pinched herself again, she is not a good man and a woman, she is compassionate, and she can't do anything to repay grievances with virtue.
Sometimes death in this world is a very happy way to decide, these people in the Nie family, even if their mother and younger brother were not killed by them, they are also accomplices, and the eldest lady and Nie Funing have wanted her to survive several times, but she remembers it clearly.
Keeping their lives alive and being reduced to commoners, or even being sold into slavery because of debts, may be worse for them than death.
Time soon came to the eighth day of the lunar month, Nie Qishu ate a bite of the royal gift of Laba porridge that had already been cold, and lost his appetite, the royal gift of Laba porridge is a practice in the palace, every year in addition to the palace concubines, there are also meritorious deeds close to the royal family, the emperor's powerful ministers, will get the emperor's Laba porridge, in order to show the position in the emperor's heart.
It's just that the taste is far less delicious than what you make at home. But after all, it is a holy grace, no matter how unpalatable it is, in the homes of the courtiers who received the royal gift of Laba porridge, they are all grateful to eat it.
