On the day of Yang Jieyu's miscarriage, Xiao Guangzi, the eunuch in charge of collecting medicine, confessed to his crime. said that it was to sell the medicinal materials in the pharmacy, so he changed the prescription without permission and withheld some valuable medicinal materials.

The news was unconvincing, and it was discussed in such a hot weather. In order to calm the discussion, the emperor ordered the capital to interrogate Xiao Guangzi [Note: the official position of the Criminal Department].

As soon as Xiao Guangzi was taken away by the lawsuit, there was another shocking news, as if a boulder was thrown into the water, causing layers of heat waves in Yujin Garden, a place that should be cool and refreshing, yes, heat waves. Because it was praised by the people of the harem, this ripple also carried a scorching temperature.

Xiao Hiroko touched the wall and died.

Shu E just sat alone under the window, in order to take advantage of its coolness, even the silk yarn pasted on the pane was a touch of blue. I had been meditating like this for two days, and I looked calm as if nothing had happened. Even Shu'e herself couldn't tell what she was thinking.

There is not much heat in the secluded fence under the shade of poles and bamboos, and because it is close to the northwest corner of Yujin Garden, it is extremely quiet, and even the sound of cicadas everywhere in other places can hardly be heard.

Therefore, the footsteps of Quan Fu's father-in-law with people can be heard very clearly.

"These are specially given by the emperor to his wife, saying that they are the most suitable for summer use. The emperor said that he had wronged his wife the day before yesterday, and asked his wife not to take it to heart. Father-in-law Quanfu laughed and gave Shu E a gold skewer with both hands.

Shu E took the sign, handed it to Zihao, and said deeply: "There is Father-in-law Lao." also asked the father-in-law to thank the slave and maid on behalf of him, and said that the slave and maid sincerely thanked the emperor for his kindness. ”

Quan Fu's father-in-law's smile is like the warm sun of spring, and he is gentle without arrogance or rashness. said in a low voice: "As a result of the interrogation of Qian Tao and Geng Zhengfeng, the emperor asked the old slave to tell Madame." ”

"The punishment for Yang Jieyu's miscarriage has long been spread throughout the harem. Qian Tao was punished to work in the dyeing workshop of the Brocade Bureau, and Geng was exiled by Imperial Doctor Roumiao, both of whom were charged with dereliction of duty. Shu E looked at Quan Fu's father-in-law with puzzlement in her eyes.

Yes, I don't understand. I heard that Qian Tao was taken away, and no one came forward to intercede. Shu E sighed at the time: "It's a pity that such a loyal maid." ”

Quanfu didn't know Shu'e's thoughts, but told Shu'e all the news about the interrogation of the lawsuit.

When he first arrived at the palace, Imperial Doctor Geng went to Yang Jieyu, who was still a beauty, to diagnose the pulse according to the routine. At that time, Imperial Doctor Geng not only diagnosed Yang Jieyu as pregnant, but also found that Yang Jieyu was weak and unsuitable for pregnancy, and there were signs of miscarriage.

Imperial Doctor Geng didn't dare to tell Yang Jieyu, let alone report to Lu Shang, so he discussed it with Qiantao.

It happened that Yang Jieyu took Qiantao to the secluded fence and saw the medicinal materials taken by Shu'e, so Qiantao moved to the shore, went to the pharmacy to get musk, and sewed Shu'e's sachet while the little princess was sleeping in Shu'e's room.

Both of them said that at this point, Yang Jieyu was completely ignorant of the way.

Geng Zhengfeng, a good doctor of Hanlin, neglected his duties, deceived his superiors and subordinates, was stripped of his official position, had a spine of 30 rods, and was exiled. Qian Tao designed to frame Mrs. Yong'an and made waves in the harem.

Of course, these charges have not been made public. What is made public is that Yang Jieyu is not well taken care of.

Sending away Quanfu's father-in-law, Zihao transcribed the things on the gold skewer on the list, and Lilac said indignantly on the side: "Since Qian Tao and Geng Zhengfeng have confessed their guilt together, why didn't the emperor punish them heavily!" When they confessed their sins, why didn't they make them public? In the final analysis, Akane Tao is just working in the brocade bureau. ”

Hua Fu smiled and said, "Why should the girl be angry? Although he was in the brocade bureau, he was a hard labor for dyeing cloth. Cooking cloth and dyeing cloth in a dye vat on such a hot day is finally the result of her persecution of her wife. Xiao Guangzi, who was in charge of taking the medicine that day, had already confessed that he had privately changed one money to three dollars, and he had deducted the extra money. The imperial doctors Geng Zhengfeng and Qian Tao were also punished, and the matter was over. ”

"Privately detain, he is a little eunuch, what do you do with some spices? Where are the two coins he deducted, who sewed the musk in the lady's sachet, what about Qian Tao, where did she get the musk, why didn't anyone check the flower and live together, and no one went to check the Chunxi Pavilion? The more Lilac spoke, the more excited she became.

"It's all obvious things, so why bother to investigate? It was on that day that the lady saw musk when she was making medicinal wine, and they came up with the idea, and it happened that Princess Ruyue was sleeping in the lady's room, and the lady's sachet was also placed in it. That day, Qian Tao hurriedly went out and came back, presumably to get the four flavors of medicinal herbs. Thanks to their quick opportunity, many of these things were done in just a moment. Zihao finished writing the last stroke, washed the pen and hung it on the pen stand.

"Every time I think of Shu E being forced to ask by Qian Tao in Huaxiangju, I can't help but not hate!" Lilac gritted her teeth and said. "Since the emperor knows that Lu Dao Shu'e has been wronged, why doesn't he pursue it anymore? Now that things are so anticlimactic, and Qian Tao talked about the incident by the Hengbo Bridge that day, she didn't know what was going on, and she would gossip about it after all. And the musk that Shu E fetched, and no one knows what Lu Dao is doing after brewing medicinal wine-"

Lilac said and looked at Shu E, and saw that Shu E was just sitting silently, so she stopped talking.

Hua Fu held a jade pillow in front of Shu E, turned back to Lilac and said: "Although the matter of the lawsuit is not clear, the people who lived in the flowers that day probably all know a little bit of the truth. It's just that Yang Jieyu has lost a new son, and the imperial concubine specially instructed that Xiao Guangzi just happened to come out and confess, isn't it the best result? Qian Tao designed to frame her wife, and it was rumored that she would go out, but it was just a joke, and it was not conducive to Yang Jieyu's peace of mind. ”

Shu E gently stroked the jade made of jade pieces that were ground very smooth and square, and sighed softly: "People often say that jade ice is just to describe the fine and smooth mat made of bamboo, moist and cool, who knows that there is really a jade mat in the world." ”

Hua Fu said: "This jade pillow and jade are a complete set, and the wonderful thing is that even the color of the jade is generally deep and transparent. This jade tentacle is cool, calm and sleep, and it is best to use it in summer. ”

"Put it all away, it's cool, it's such a good thing, but you can't use it for a while." Shu E said as she took out a pure gold carved gold hairpin from the stationery box and played with it carefully in her hand.

"How can Madame keep such a thing?" Zihao walked over and said softly: "Why can't you get pregnant, it's all panic." Such private words deceived Mrs. to believe it, but she was not afraid of hurting the yin owl. I spoke it again in front of the people, but it was as if I had cursed her. Saying that, he let out a long sigh, "It's a shame that Mrs. stopped me from taking out this hairpin that day, and now it seems that this hairpin style is only ordinary, if it is taken out, no one believes that Yang Jieyu gave it to me, and the meaning of my framing will only seem more heartfelt and more profound." ”

Shu E just looked at Jin Hai in a daze, and Hua Fu, Lilac and Zihao were silent.

After a long time, Shu E said: "I heard that Yang Jieyu was pregnant, and I was surprised, no less than you. It's just that things came one after another, and I never had a chance to question them. ”

Shu E said and gently put the golden hairpin on her temples: "If I say that Yang Jieyu can't be conceived, I will even call you to testify, and then let you take out this so-called golden hairpin that Yang Jieyu gave you......"

"Then even if Xiao Guangzi proves that it was not the musk taken by Mrs., everyone will be convinced that Mrs. has always hated Yang Jieyu." Hua Fu put a small mirror behind Shu E's head, looked at Shu E's hair bun, and held the wrist of the mirror, but couldn't help but tremble.
