Chapter 267: The Yang Family Falls

readx;

Because Mrs. Wei kept enough evidence, the Yang family's case went exceptionally smoothly, and even the storm in the palace gradually subsided a lot. Pen Γ— fun Γ— Pavilion www. biquge。 Although Yang Qian died of illness during the passage of time, the evidence of his intention to murder the emperor's heir has been conclusive. In contrast, Princess An Xing, who mobilized the chess pieces in the palace, did not leave any clues and could not be convicted of her crimes.

As the head of the family, Yang Shijing naturally could not escape. Even when he was in court, he frequently cried out and claimed that he knew nothing about these things. It's a pity that no one will believe his quibbles. After all, even Mrs. Wei had noticed Yang Qian's movements, how could he not know at all? What's more, his previous act of cleaning up the evidence was a thief, but it proved that he was not innocent.

As for the third prince, he was indeed continuously pierced into his body by the palace maid, and the slight poison accumulated so that he was ill for a long time and finally died. And the palace maids involved not only have Yang Chongrong's cronies, but also people around Concubine Yang Xian. However, these palace maids insisted that they were acting on the orders of their masters, and did not mention Princess Anxing as one of the culprits.

Princess Changning and Li Hui both understood that Yang Chongrong might not have the intention to murder the third prince, but Concubine Yang Xian was very suspicious. After all, as long as the third prince is raised under the knees of Queen Du, he will be like a concubine, and King Qi will not have a chance to get the position of the crown prince of the East Palace. The death of the third prince seems to have benefited the fourth prince, and the status of the eldest son of King Qi has also been guaranteed. However, Concubine Yang Xian flatly denied it, and Yang Chongrong could not prove that she was completely innocent, and with the "testimony" of their palace maids, neither of them could be spared.

Compared with the case of the Yang family, which has many witnesses, the matter in the palace is tried faster. Empress Du was also particularly neat, deprived Concubine Yang Xian and Yang Chongrong of their positions, demoted them to concubines, and sent them to the royal monastery to become nuns. As for their children, of course, the King of Qi, who has grown up, does not have to consider whether he needs a concubine to raise them on his behalf, the four princesses and the four princes are still young, and they have to take care of them.

After receiving Yi's order, the reactions of the two Yangs were also completely different.

Concubine Yang Xian cried loudly, and strongly asked to see King Qi again, or to see the saint. In this regard, Princess Changning's reply was: "Becoming a monk is not / imprisonment / imprisonment /, if the king of Qi wants to see her, he can naturally see her." And after Yang Chongrong hugged the fourth princess and the fourth prince, he said to the Shang Gong who passed the decree: "The concubine wants to ask to see Her Royal Highness the queen and talk about Siniang and Shilang." ”

Queen Du pondered for a moment and agreed to Yang Chongrong. It was true that she had been a little devastated by the death of the third prince before, but the lingering illness was just an illusion to confuse the enemy. Now that everything has come to light, her "condition" has naturally gradually improved, at least she can barely see customers.

After Yang Banniang saw her, she didn't care about the several concubines who came to greet her, so she knelt down and made a big salute: "The father and brother of the concubine made a big mistake, and the concubine dare not claim to be completely innocent." If it weren't for the fact that the concubine hadn't carefully restrained the people around her, so that the murderer had an opportunity to take advantage of, it would not have caused such a bad result. Therefore, the concubine deserves to become a nun, and there is no resentment in her heart. It's just that Siniang and Shiro are still young, and the concubines are really not at ease. ”

Queen Du said: "I will hand over the two children to the care of a suitable concubine, you can rest assured." In the future, when they grow up, they can also visit you in the temple. "Not only her, but even Princess Changning can see that Yang Banniang has indeed changed a lot. It seemed that overnight, the anger and ambition that had once burned were extinguished. After seeing through many things in the world, his temperament also becomes truly relaxed.

"Concubine hope ......" Yang Banniang's gaze swept over Pei Jieyu, who was full of sadness, and looked at Zhou Chongyuan with a still flat expression, "I hope that Zhou Chongyuan can raise Siniang and Shilang." If they can learn Zhou Chongyuan's five points of peace, it will be enough. ”

"If Zhou Chongyuan agrees, it will naturally be better." Yang Banniang's choice really surprised Queen Du. She once thought that Yang Banniang might choose her cousin Pei Jieyu. After all, Pei's family is smart, good at self-preservation, and there is no shortage of holy favors. As for Zhou Chongyuan, if she hadn't appeared in Anren Hall every once in a while to say hello, and occasionally she could get a holy grace, almost everyone would have forgotten her completely.

Zhou Chongyuan was stunned, and then agreed. Pei Jieyu frowned slightly, as if she couldn't understand her cousin's thoughts. When Yang Banniang retired, she took the initiative to get up and send her off. The two cousins crossed their arms, and they seemed to be as intimate as they had been in the past, but they were not.

All the way silently, when they saw the holy car from a distance, Yang Banniang suddenly stopped, looked at a certain figure in the middle of the guard, and was stunned. And the figure seemed to notice her gaze, glanced at it from afar, and then followed the royal car away, as indifferent as when they first met.

"What's wrong with my cousin?" Pei Jieyu asked softly.

"If it had been ...... I have never entered the palace......" Speaking of this, Yang Banniang smiled bitterly and asked in a low voice, "Do you know that Grandpa wanted to kiss you at the beginning?" Do you know who he wants to say to you? Her voice was extremely low, and even the palace maid who followed behind the two of them couldn't hear it clearly.

Pei Jieyu shook her head a little carelessly: "What if you know?" Don't know what? Did my cousin think that I would miss someone I had never metβ€”or even heard of a name? Just because my cousin left Tai Chi Palace doesn't mean that I will do the same in the future. Therefore, just because my cousin regrets it does not mean that I will regret it. ”

Yang Banniang looked at her deeply: "This is why I didn't choose you, but chose Zhou Chongyuan." It's not that I don't believe you're taking care of two children, it's just that I don't want them to live like you and me. They are golden branches and jade leaves, and the honor and wealth they deserve, the saint and the queen will definitely not treat them badly. They don't need any more pointless scrambles. ”

Pei Jieyu smiled and only said: "A character like Zhou Chongyuan can't go far in the palace. And I don't have any bigger ambitions, I just want to have a place among the four concubines. Rest assured, cousin, I will learn from my eldest cousin's lesson. In the future, I will definitely visit my two cousins. ”

A day later, Empress Du issued a decree again, enshrined Zhou Chongyuan as Concubine De, and asked her to raise the four princesses and the four princes. Hearing the news, Pei Jieyu was stunned. And Yang Banniang finally left the Taiji Palace with peace of mind. As for the other Yang, neither the King of Qi nor the saint saw her, so she had to be escorted to the temple crying.

When Dali Temple was about to interrogate all the servants of the Yang family one after another, Wang Zixian and his disciple Yang Shen quietly came to the Hongnong County Mansion again. Due to the abundant evidence, Jin Wuwei did not guard the entire mansion tightly, but only guarded the door, and no one was allowed to enter or leave. After all, the masters of the Yang family have all entered the prison, and at this time, the servants of the Yang family plan to escape, and being a fugitive slave is just a crime.

With the prince's dedication, he will naturally not be hindered by the high wall. So, Yang Shen watched his husband in the wind of his jade tree step lightly on the wall, and in the blink of an eye, he put down a long rope for him to climb. For a while, Ah Tao's little boy had mixed feelings in his heart, and his impression of Mr. had already been subverted countless times.

When the master and apprentice came to the deserted small courtyard familiarly, they found that more than a dozen uninvited guests had broken into the courtyard. Yang Shen thought that they wanted to be unfavorable to Grandpa and Auntie, but these people respected Yang Dalang and Shanniang very much, and called them "Lang Jun" and "Niangzi".

"Who are you?" Yang Shen was still very vigilant, and the bow and arrow in his hand were aimed at those people, and it seemed that he was about to shoot out the next moment. However, his posture lying on the wall is inevitably a little indecent. It was his husband, who gracefully climbed over the wall, smiled and saluted Yang Dalang and the good lady: "I haven't seen you for many days, my cousin and sister-in-law are okay?" ”

Yang Dalang and his wife, who thought that they would never see their son again in their lives, couldn't help but be stunned: "Why did Wang Langjun bring Ah Tao here?" ”

"We're here to pick up my cousin and sister-in-law from here." Wang Zixian looked at the dozen or so people, as if he was smiling, "But I don't want to, someone has already taken the lead." I wonder if my cousin and sister-in-law want to leave with them, or if they want to go with us? ”

"Grandpa, Mr. bought a Zhuangzi at the foot of Nanshan, the scenery is very good, very suitable for recuperation! Moreover, the child has recently visited many doctors, and some doctors have promised to treat Grandpa! Yang Shen hurriedly answered, a pair of dark eyes were shining, as if burning hope.

Yang Dalang hesitated for a moment and asked the strangers: "You ...... But A-Niang sent it? His voice was a little difficult, and there was also a bit of a sigh: "What do you have to say?" ”

The leader was slightly stunned, nodded and said: "Madame has purchased several large manors in Huazhou, and I tell us to rush over as soon as possible with Lang Jun and his wife, and live peacefully in the manor in the future." "Huazhou is the birthplace of Hongnong Yang's family, except for the Jingzhaofang lineage, the rest of the houses live in Huazhou.

Yang Dalang was stunned, and his eyes couldn't help but turn red: "You go to Huazhou to settle down first, there must be no shortage of stewards in the manor." As for me and Shanniang, I don't want to be separated from Ah Tao for the time being. Moreover, the Yang family's case is not completely over, and I want to see for myself what the final outcome will be. If you want to see me, then go and look for Atao. "As for where Ah Tao's little boy lives, it is naturally not difficult to find the prince to make up for the king.

When Yang Dalang and Shanniang finally walked out of the Hongnong County Mansion, the two of them, like Yang Shen that night, couldn't help but look back at the huge mansion that was silent in the darkness - maybe it was still lit up now, but in a few days, it would be completely deserted. Years later, no one will remember who this mansion once belonged to, and who Hongnong County Gong was......

An ox cart stopped in front of them, and a laughing voice sounded in the car: "How many days will you two stay in my house?" When all the dust settles, send the two to the suburbs of Beijing to recuperate. Moreover, I have a imperial doctor in my house, who can diagnose and treat Yang Langjun at any time. ”

Yang Dalang and Shanniang couldn't help but glance at the prince, and Yang Shen couldn't help but ask: "Sir, this is ......?"

The prince curled his lips: "Seeing him is like seeing me, do you understand?" ”

Ah Tao was a young man who was ignorant, and felt that he didn't understand anything at all. And Yang Dalang noticed the dragon-shaped dark lines on the ox cart, thought about it carefully, and couldn't help but smile: "Thank you for your kindness." ”
