48. Criminalization

He turned to leave, but heard a voice behind him: "I'm so uncomfortable......"

Jing Zhen immediately turned around and said, "Where are you uncomfortable?" He was not a casual person, and as soon as the words came out, he quickly understood. I saw Ah Yuan's body move, and he tore away the cloud again, and groaned twice in a low voice. The voice is like a newborn deer, yo yo and chirping, soft to the extreme, but also ambiguous to the extreme.

Ah Yuan muttered: "Don't you go......"

He was shocked, looking at the dragon pattern jade pendant she was holding tightly on her chest, and his hand was hanging in the air for a while, only to feel that he was afraid that he needed this thousand-year-old cold jade more than her at this time. Fu stood in front of the bed for a long time, until he felt his tense and hot body cool down slightly, and then he let out a long sigh: "I won't leave." While feeling that it was suffocating in the warm pavilion, he took off the complicated dragon robes.

"Don't come here...... Ah Yuan frowned, and turned sideways again.

Jing Zhen didn't laugh unconsciously, he lay down on the edge of the bed, it was hot there, and Ah Yuan had just covered it with his body. The bed was very spacious, and she turned over, and moved to a cold place to continue her sleep. It's just that according to the imperial doctor, after using this cold food, the person will continue to have a fever, and you must be careful that she will get cold due to sweating.

Sweaty and thin, sweet and faint, he looked at the full body of the woman in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh. Then he just reached out and wrapped her around the quilt, then hugged her tightly from behind, and then clasped her chin on the top of her head to prevent her from moving again.

A gentleman does not take advantage of others. What's more, he didn't want to treat her as someone else. He and her are just allies, each taking what they need.

It was night, in the pine green veil, the spring color was infinite, but only one person could sleep.

In the afternoon of the next day, Ah Yuan gradually woke up. Chen Qianwan and Pei Jieyu and others came to visit her one after another, and even the Queen Mother and Concubine Mei also sent people to comfort her.

But she didn't know anything until Shi Quan came to visit.

At that time, Ah Yuan had just finished lunch, changed into a lotus lotus home-style Su Luo clothes, and reclined in front of the screen window to read. Seeing him coming, he hurriedly got up to greet him.

Shi Quan was a person of status among the inner servants, he got rid of a group of attendants, and Ah Yuan also signaled Cai Wei and Qi Fang to retreat, only to hear him: "The emperor knows that the little master has been wronged, so he has rewarded a lot of things and put them outside. ”

Since Ah Yuan passed out in the cellar of the Futu Palace, he no longer remembered what happened later, and naturally he didn't know how much the emperor knew. But hearing Shi Quan say this, his heart settled down a little, and he said: "Father-in-law Shi has worked hard, thank the emperor on my behalf." ”

Shi Quan saw that there was no one on the left and right, and said in a low voice: "The emperor still wants a slave to sue the little master, Rong Concubine Niangniang, oh no, it is Rong Liangren, who deliberately set up a situation to frame the little master, and has been demoted and sent to the cold palace." ”

Ah Yuan was taken aback: "Concubine Rong? When she woke up, she thought about it again. This person almost lost her virginity, she had suspected that it was the scheming Concubine Min, and she also suspected Concubine Mei who advocated going to the Futu Hall to worship the Buddha, but she never thought that it was actually Concubine Rong's hand.

"The emperor has already interrogated clearly?" She didn't seem to believe it.

"Just rely on those methods in the court, whoever goes in is not allowed to spit out a few words of truth." Shi Quan's face was full of disdain, "Rong Liang came to the emperor yesterday and kept saying that there was a novice in the cellar of the Futu Hall who was having an affair with the harem concubines. Later, Chen Baolin and Pei Jieyu also came, saying that the little master was missing in the Futu Palace. The emperor understood immediately, and immediately took someone to the Futu Hall and rescued the little master. Of course, Rong Liangren's words were self-defeating, but she refused to admit where she heard the news. The emperor was furious and sent her to the court to admonish the division for trial, which is good, but she has to suffer the sin of the flesh before she is willing to tell the truth. ”

Ah Yuan poured him a cup of tea, and Shi Quan paused for a while and said, "Later, the emperor went to check the details of the novice, only to find out that he was not a monk at all. This person turned out to be a handyman in the Rong Mansion before, and someone opened up a relationship with the palace for him, and not long ago he was asked to pretend to shave his face and blend into the Futu Palace. They also found a handwritten letter from Rong Liang in the novice's room, which was the little master she had instigated to harm him. This time, there are all the human and material evidence, and there is no room for the Rong Liang to deny it, the emperor just remembered the past exploits of the Rong family, so he spared her life. ”

Ah Yuan pondered, and asked for a moment: "She has no grievances with me, why did she design to frame me?" Doesn't the emperor suspect that someone else is to blame? ”

Shi Quan said "ouch", and replied with a smile: "Now that the little master is favored by the sixth palace, which master is not sour in his heart?" That Rong Liangren must have been unfavored for many years, and when he saw that the little lord was in the limelight, he had bad intentions. Besides, she confessed one by one, and the novice also died, even if the emperor was still suspicious, he couldn't track it down. ”

Ah Yuan nodded, pondered again, but still couldn't figure it out. It is not impossible to say that Concubine Rong harmed her, but it was really unexpected that things went so smoothly. What's more, looking at Concubine Rong's scheming, she is definitely not the person who set up a bureau to harm Yang Muzhi back then. That person has left everything behind, and strives not to make a single mistake, how can such a clumsy method be compared?

Shi Quan said with a smile: "The slave is here today, and I want to say hello to the little master!" Listening to the emperor's meaning, it is estimated that the little lord will be promoted in a few days! ”

Ah Yuan blushed busily, remembering that he was poured aphrodisiacs yesterday and was rescued from the cellar by the emperor in full view of everyone. She didn't want to ask Shi Quan these words, so she had to laugh a few words with him, and talked about him left and right.

As soon as Shi Quan's front foot went out, Cai Wei opened the curtain from the outside and said with a smile: "Little master, look who is coming." ”

Before you see him, smell the wine first. Seeing that the palace lady covered half of her face, Ah Yuanhuo stood up and greeted with a smile: "Why is Aunt Cao here too!" ”

Cao Qing stood at the door, holding the corner of his clothes in his hand, and hesitated for a while: "The slave is very dirty, I don't know if I can enter the little master's bedroom?" ”

Ah Yuan hurriedly said: "What can't be done, aunt, please come in." He called Cai Wei to prepare tea.

Cao Qing said earnestly: "I heard that the little master had an accident yesterday, and the slave maid was anxious like a fire in her heart. Seeing that the little master was safe and sound, the slave and maid were relieved. ”

"Aunt Lao worries about me." Ah Yuan took her hand and sat down, "Actually, when there is nothing to do, my aunt can often come to sit with me." The palace is very tired, and it is good that someone often comes to chat. ”

Cao Qing untied the handkerchief on his shirt and wiped his face carefully: "The slave maid is old, and the little master is so pitiful, I am really ashamed." They chatted a few more words, only to hear her say: "The slave and maid have inquired about the matter of the little master's instructions to the slave and maid last time, and now they have some eyebrows. ”

When Ah Yuan heard this, he hurriedly straightened up and said, "Auntie, let's say." ”

Cao Qingdao said: "There is indeed no girl named Xing'er in the Liang Meditation Agency. However, more than two years ago, there was a palace maid, called Ginkgo, who was a wine captain in the third wine room. ”

"And then?"

Cao Qing continued: "Later, I heard that the Queen Mother drank the chrysanthemum liquor she brewed, and she liked it very much, so she asked her to go to the dining room of Changning Palace on an errand. Who knew that the good times would not last long, she had been gone for only half a month, and there was an accident in the Liang Brewing Agency, and she was also implicated. At that time, those who committed crimes were all executed. And the current Acting Father-in-law Zhang was also promoted at that time. ”

Ah Yuanqi said: "What has implicated so many people? ”

Cao Qing lowered his voice: "I heard that it was exposed, and someone in the Liang Brewing Agency colluded with the rebels of the Mu Party in the old years, trying to kill the Queen Mother with poisonous wine. When the Queen Mother heard this, she was furious, and immediately ordered a thorough investigation of the matter, and sure enough, a batch of poisonous wine with broken intestine grass was found in the wine cellar of the Liang Brewing Bureau. So in a fit of rage, almost the entire Liangyu Agency was convicted and Ling Chi was executed. ”

Ah Yuan was shocked into a cold sweat, and after thinking about it again, he felt that something was wrong. Since the emperor's assassination in the Qishan enclosure, these rebels should have acted more secretively, how could they directly poison the wine cellar of the Liangyu Department with great fanfare? If Ginkgo was also a member of the Mu Party, they could have poisoned the diet in Changning Palace, and there was no need to do so, leaving people with conclusive evidence.

So he asked, "Do you know who the whistleblower was back then?" ”

Cao Qing shook his head: "There are not many people who know about these old things, and they are very secretive, and they are not willing to talk deeply with slaves and maids. However, every late at night, the Naliang Department is often haunted, and they all say that those old palace people died unexplained deaths, so they refused to reincarnate properly......"

"That is, they were all wronged?" Ah Yuan frowned.

"Who knows?" Cao Qing pondered and said, "But the slave maid also saw it once, and the white-clothed ghost floated around on the beam in the department, shouting something like 'Zhang's must not die well'. At this, she shuddered with fear.

Zhang's ...... Is it the Empress Dowager Zhang? Or is it another woman surnamed Zhang in the palace, Concubine Min? Ah Yuan thought, those people hated the Queen Mother, after all, it was the Queen Mother who ordered them all to be executed. But the Queen Mother also listened to slander, could it be that the person who entered the slander was Concubine Min? She doesn't believe in any ghosts and gods, if Cao Qing didn't lie, maybe the people who knew the inside story back then survived, and wanted to avenge those palace people who were executed by pretending to be gods?

Ah Yuan said: "Listening to my aunt, I also think that this good office is a little strange. It's just that most of the theories of ghosts and gods are pure falsehood, and no one has personally verified them. Auntie thought about it carefully, is it possible that the white-clothed ghost she saw that day was pretended to be a palace person? ”

"It doesn't look like ......," she said, but doubts rose in her heart, and she said, "If the office is haunted again, the slave and maid will definitely keep an eye on it for the little master." ”

With that, she bowed and retreated.

Immediately afterwards, I saw Cai Wei come in, looking shocked and frightened: "Little master, little master, I heard that Rong Liangren committed suicide in the cold palace!" ”
