Article 168 Mingwu's suspicions
Ming Wu held the dragon robe that Zhang Sheng brought back from Concubine Lian's house in his hand and carefully inspected it.
The material of this dragon robe is good, the color is very positive, the pattern is a little similar to the dragon robe he usually wears, the embroidery is very careful, and the only bad thing is that the workmanship is very rough in the place where it is linked.
If he didn't look closely, he wouldn't be able to see them. But Concubine Lian has made countless embroideries, and she must be able to see that there is something wrong with this dragon robe.
Ming Wu recalled the scene when he was in the prison. Why did Zhang Shengwei suddenly take a dragon robe? Even if Concubine Lian's maiden family appears in a dragon robe, you can show it to him later, why did he let this dragon robe appear there? Who made him do this? What was his purpose in doing this?
Ming Wu couldn't figure it out, he unfolded the dragon robe in his hand and looked at the size of the dragon robe. He had noticed that this dragon robe had been modified in many places. In some places, because the fabric is too large, it is cut off with the pattern.
Mingwu is not a fool. This is clearly a modified dragon robe. The reason why the surrounding area is not well worked, probably because it is too anxious to use it. So who is this dragon robe for? What should I prepare for in advance?
However, no matter who made it, this dress shows a problem, that is, Concubine Lian's mother's family is slandered if she wants to rebel. However, at that time, Concubine Lian's family had already made a decision, so why did that person want to do more? Could it be that the person is going to frame not Concubine Lian's family, but someone else? Thinking of this, Ming Wu angrily threw the dragon robe in his hand aside. Whoever that person is trying to frame has nothing to do with him. Those officials in the imperial court are already good and bad, and it is time to change. Otherwise, if he is not there one day, those people will definitely rely on the old and sell the old, and they will not take Yun'er in their eyes.
"Father is angry again." Xiaoyun walked into Mingwu's bedroom, put his hands on Mingwu's shoulders naturally, and began to rub Mingwu's shoulders.
"You girl! Didn't you say today that you were going to see Mrs. Mu? Why did you come to see your father again? Ming Wu patted Xiao Yun's hand and asked with a smile.
"Xiaoyun is not worried about his father, so he came here to see his father first." Xiaoyun smiled and asked, "What was my father angry about just now?"
"That's it!" Ming Wu glared at the dragon robe he threw on the ground and said.
"A piece of clothing? Father doesn't like to let people put it away. Xiaoyun walked over and was about to put away the dragon robe on the ground, but she didn't pay attention, and a thread was stuck by her. It doesn't matter now, it's actually bald for a long time at that thread, which ...... Xiao Yun looked at the dragon robe in his hand, and then looked at the thread in his hand, startled. Hurriedly knelt in front of Ming Wu and pleaded guilty.
"Please ask your father for forgiveness, Ning'er really didn't mean to." Xiao Yun knelt in front of Ming Wu and said uneasily. The dragon robe is not ordinary clothes, and destroying the dragon robe is a serious crime, even if she is a princess.
"Get up! Show me your clothes. Ming Wu didn't care about helping Xiaoyun up. Holding the dragon robe, he said, "This dragon robe is not mine, and it has nothing to do with you."
"This is ......," Ming Wu couldn't help but sneer as he looked at the place destroyed by Xiao Yun. Just throw the clothes aside and don't look at them again.
"Father, don't be angry." Seeing Ming Wu's angry appearance, although Xiao Yun was not so frightened that he knelt on the ground again, cold sweat appeared on his forehead again.
"Father is not angry. Aren't you going to see Mrs. Mu? It's not early, go early and come back early. Ming Wu put away the anger on his face and said to Xiaoyun with a smile.
"Ning'er retires!" With Mingwu's consent, Xiaoyun quickly left Mingwu's dormitory. Everyone says: A companion is like a tiger, and she finally experienced it today. Even if Mingwu didn't get angry with her just now, she was still scared.
"Someone!" After Xiaoyun left, Mingwu shouted loudly outside the door.
"Your Majesty!" Hongfu walked quickly in front of Ming Wu.
"Go and burn this garment." Ming Wu threw the torn dragon robe in Hongfu's arms and said angrily.
"Yes! Minions, let's go! Hongfu glanced at the clothes in his arms, then at Mingwu's expression, and left Mingwu's room respectfully.
"You brought Zhang Sheng to me!" Watching Hongfu leave, Ming Wu suddenly said.
"Yes!" Hongfu hurriedly replied. Today, the emperor is too abnormal, he is still careful.
"Subordinate Zhang Sheng, see the emperor!" Zhang Sheng quickly appeared in front of Ming Wu and knelt respectfully in front of Ming Wu.
"Zhang Sheng, how long have you been following me?" Raising his head, Ming Wu looked at Zhang Sheng and asked.
"Nine years, eight months and three days." Zhang Sheng replied respectfully.
"Nine years, eight months and three days, you remember it clearly." Ming Wu looked at Zhang Sheng and sneered and said, "After following me for so long, you should know what I am looking for you this time!"
"It's because of the dragon robe." Zhang Sheng raised his head and said without hesitation: "Zhang Sheng knows about this matter, and the emperor will come back to ask Zhang Sheng about it sooner or later."
"So you've been waiting for me to find you, but you haven't spoken out." Ming Wu glared at Zhang Sheng and asked coldly.
"The subordinates are also helpless, there are some things that the ministers don't do, and some people do them, and the emperor may not be able to understand what those people do." Zhang Sheng respectfully kowtowed to Ming Wu before continuing: "This dragon robe was indeed found by a subordinate in Concubine Lian's maiden secret room. At that time, some subordinates saw that there was a difference in this dress, and their subordinates wanted to lose it, but later their subordinates thought that since they had found it, they had found it in front of so many people, and if their subordinates discarded it privately, they would definitely be said by those subordinates to be accomplices of Concubine Lian.
As a last resort, his subordinates took the dragon robe and returned to the palace. At that time, it was just in time for Prince Xian and Concubine Shu to return to the palace, and when his subordinates were greeting Concubine Shu, Concubine Shu saw the dragon robe. In Concubine Shu's mother-in-law's knowledge of the ins and outs, Concubine Shu asked her subordinates to show it directly to the emperor. The subordinate lord hesitated, but when he thought that the emperor happened to be in the prison, he went there directly with the dragon robe. ”
"You mean Concubine Shu wants you to bring that dragon robe to me?" Mingwu asked suspiciously.
"It's true that Concubine Shu asked her subordinates to do this." Zhang Sheng said respectfully.
"I've gotten it, go down!" Ming Wu waved his hand to let Zhang Sheng leave. Once again, I fell into deep thought.
Just after the thread fell off, he looked at the place that was hidden by the embroidery thread, and there was a layer of patterns there, and the pattern was the prince's clothing, which means that the dragon robe was re-changed from the prince's clothes. So far, the Great Sage Dynasty has only one crown prince in Mingxuan. But he hadn't seen it once. Obviously, that wasn't Mingxuan's. If it weren't for Mingxuan's clothes, who would do this?
Is it Xian'er? But he's not in the capital all the time, he doesn't have time to do this, does he?
Ay! The emperor is difficult, and it is even more difficult to be a father. Especially when all the children are not of the same mind, it is even more difficult for him as a father.
After the crown prince was buried, Concubine Shu returned to her palace and lived in a familiar room, and she felt a lot more at ease. It's not easy to be outside these days, especially when she sees that her son is not as beautiful as she imagined, and she doesn't know what she should do.
"Enlightened Niangniang! The third prince has come to see you. A palace maid walked up to Concubine Shu and said respectfully.
"Let him in!" After briefly checking her makeup, Concubine Shu said.
"Yes! Empress! The palace maid left in front of Concubine Shu and walked out.
"Erchen has seen his mother!" obviously walked in front of Concubine Shu and saluted respectfully.
"The emperor is flat, sit down!" Concubine Shu pulled it up and said with an obvious smile. Even if this son disappoints him, this is her son. Seeing him, Concubine Shu was happy in her heart.
"Thank you, Princess!" Obviously, after saluting Concubine Shu again, he sat next to Concubine Shu. He said to the palace maid and eunuch in the house, "You all go down!" This king has some considerate words to say to his mother alone. ”
"Slave and maid retire!" After hearing the obvious words, all the palace maids and eunuchs saluted and walked out of the room directly.
"Let's get straight to the point!" After Concubine Shu and everyone left, she suddenly said with a cold expression.
"The concubine doesn't want her sons to be by your side all the time?" Obviously, looking at Concubine Shu's much colder expression just now, she said with a cold face.
"Mother naturally hopes that you can always live by your mother's side, but ......" Concubine Shu said this, did not continue but sighed and stopped talking.
"The mother concubine is still complaining about her son's ruthlessness?" Obviously looking at Concubine Shu asked. This is the palace, a place where people eat alone, if he wants to get everything, he can't be merciful, he thought that his mother concubine had lived in the palace for so long, she should understand this truth, but he didn't expect her to blame him.
"The way of survival in the palace is that the mother knows better than you, and it is because you know that the mother is decided, and this place is not suitable for you. That location is even more unsuitable for you. Concubine Shu stood up and sighed. said: "You are the only son of the mother, all the hopes of the mother are placed on you, of course the mother hopes that you will live well." However, you can't be afraid of a lot of innocent people for a position that doesn't suit you. ”
"Innocent people? There is no one in this world who is innocent, Erchen was looking for someone to assassinate Ming Tao, but he just wanted to spend money to eliminate the disaster, who knows, they will be so stupid, things are not done well, and they will perish themselves, if it weren't for Erchen not coming forward from beginning to end, maybe Erchen and his mother would not be able to stand here today. Obviously picked up the teacup, poured himself a cup of tea, and said absently while drinking tea.
"You think that's the end of it? Will the emperor easily let go of the real murderer? Concubine Shu looked at her innocent son and said helplessly. The emperor has family affection, but that is also limited, Concubine Lian and Ming Shuang are the best examples.
It has been a few days since their mother and son returned to the capital, and they have heard about the recent events in the capital. They can't be too ostentatious lately, and they have to be patient, but her son still doesn't understand this truth, which makes her not worried.
"I heard that a few days ago, you made Leling and Mingyun's mother and son cry? The mother concubine doesn't know how to say, what is the matter between you and that woman in Leling, you just need to remember that she is now your imperial sister-in-law, and she is Mingxuan's wife. The emperor is so partial to Ming Xuan, Ming Xuan has just passed away, you bully their orphans and widows, the emperor just won't let you go easily if he doesn't say anything, you'd better be careful recently. Also, try your best to make Leling and Mingyun forgive you, otherwise don't talk about the position of the prince, your life is in danger. After speaking, Concubine Shu no longer looked obviously, and looked directly out of the window in a daze.
She has been back in the palace for several days, but the emperor has not come to see her once, which means that the emperor has already known what Lu Dao has obviously done, and the emperor is not only resentful, but also blames her for not teaching her son well. I'm afraid that the emperor won't come here to see them in a short time.
