Chapter 198: Confessions in Two Cases
Emperor Yuan looked at the corpse under the steps, exhaled, and strode back to the Qinzheng Pavilion, returned to the throne and sat down. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
He glanced at the tray that Kang Bao had taken from Mingfu's hand, and his teeth clenched in anger and his cheeks sunken.
Poisoning His Royal Highness the Crown Prince directly in the East Palace?
This act is surprisingly bold and infuriating.
Mingfu still knelt under the throne, did not dare to say a word, and respectfully waited for Emperor Yuan's order.
"Have you found out who this little ball is?"
"Holy Lord, this little round came to Hua Mu Yuan on an errand four years ago, and after His Royal Highness the Crown Prince moved to the East Palace, he brought all the servants who used to serve Hua Mu Yuan over." Mingfu didn't say whether he found out Xiao Yuanzi's identity, but only said that Xiao Yuanzi would serve in the East Palace.
Four years ago?
Hua Mu Yuan waiting?
Emperor Yuan's eyes were like needles, stabbing at Ming Fu, who was kneeling on the ground.
However, Ming Fu just bowed his head and knelt on the ground, as if he was unaware of Emperor Yuan's staring.
Chu Zhaoheng, is he dissatisfied with his father?
"Holy Lord, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was injured and affected by cold diseases, and he had to drink two bowls of medicine every day. Xiao Yuanzi took advantage of the lack of medicine boy who decocted medicine today and put medicine in the medicine jar. I happened to be seen by a passer-by and took it down. His Royal Highness was afraid that there was something wrong with the medicine he drank in the past, so he asked the imperial doctor to check it, so he asked the servants to send these things over. ”
Ming Fu didn't hear Emperor Yuan speak, but still knelt down and continued.
His words explained why Chu Zhaoheng did not come to Emperor Yuan in person, and also explained that the prince was worried about poisoning and had no spare strength to investigate Xiaoyuanzi's affairs. And the sentence "I'm afraid that there is a problem with the medicine I drank in the past" touched Emperor Yuan's heart.
"I know, you go back to the East Palace to serve. Tell the prince that this matter is very important, and I will give him an explanation. ”
"The minions obey." Ming Fu kowtowed a few times, bowed his body, and retreated from the Qinzheng Pavilion.
Emperor Yuan watched Ming Fu slowly retreat and turned to Kang Bao, "Ask someone to check what is going on with this little ball." ”
Actually, he can guess without looking.
Four years ago, palace affairs were still under the control of Concubine Liu.
Liu Guifei's temperament, inserting someone in Hua Muyuan, or assassinating Chu Zhaoheng, is all something she can do with her temperament.
When Chu Zhaoheng fell into the water, the clues in the open and in the dark all pointed to Liu Guifei, but he still suppressed the matter.
This woman, is she still unaware of restraint?
"Take this medicine bottle and ask someone to bring it to the Imperial Doctor, so that he can see what is inside. I want to know these two things as soon as possible. ”
"The minions obey." Kang Bao took the tray and called two little eunuchs outside, asking them to take the bottle to the Tai Hospital and hand it over to the Tai Doctor. I asked people to check what happened before and after Xiaoyuanzi entered the palace.
If you want to investigate, you can't hide these things. Emperor Yuan only read the three books of kung fu, and Kang Bao came back.
"How's it going?"
"Holy Lord, the Imperial Physician is saying that the medicine in the bottle seems to be a lingering poison. It's just that this poison hasn't come out for decades, and the imperial doctors are saying that the imperial doctors are checking according to the classics and the records of the year, and they feel that they are eighty percent sure. ”
The lingering poison belongs to the royal secret file.
The imperial doctors knew that the recipe for this poison, and even the ready-made poison, could not be hidden in the royal inner curry.
Therefore, although the Taiyi did not say death, he only said that he was eighty percent sure, but, in fact, it was already very certain.
When Emperor Yuan heard the news, his face was still expressionless, and he continued to ask, "What about that little ball?" ”
"After that slave entered the palace, he followed An Lu by the side of the noble concubine for a while. Later, because of a mistake, he was driven out of the Xuning Palace by the noble concubine, and when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked for someone there, this slave was sent to Huamuyuan to do miscellaneous labor. ”
Kang Bao was talking, and suddenly there was a sound outside the Qinzheng Pavilion.
Emperor Yuan glanced at Kang Bao, and Kang Bao hurriedly ran out, "What's the matter?" ”
But he saw You Tianfang standing outside the Qinzheng Pavilion, looking anxious.
What kind of excitement did this Dali Temple come to join?
Kang Bao didn't dare to delay, bowed to the door, and reported loudly, "Shengshang, it is Lord Qingyou of Dali Temple who asks to see Shengshang." ”
After a while, Emperor Yuan's voice came, "Let him in." ”
You Tianfang felt that the atmosphere inside and outside the Qinzheng Pavilion was a little dignified, and he didn't know what was going on.
He didn't dare to inquire more, but after kneeling down and kowtowing, he took out the portrait in his sleeve, "Your Excellency, the minister was ordered to arrest the assassin who assassinated His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." After tracking down the drawings, a total of seven people with the same shape as the man in the portrait were found. Among these seven people, three of them live in the capital and are people who sit in small business. There are also two people who came to Beijing from other places, and the minister asked them to check the official guidance of these two people, and asked them to go to the government office where the two people are registered......"
"I don't want to listen to your nonsense, you just say which two people are suspected and what are their identities!"
Emperor Yuan didn't have the patience to listen to You Tianfang talk about the process of investigating the case, so he coldly interrupted him and asked him to say the conclusion directly.
"Yes, the rest of the people with similar shapes are Li Gui, who is serving by the side of the Third Highness, and the chief of the guard next to the Second Highness...... These two people, when the minister went to the palace of the two highnesses to check, Li Gui said that he was waiting with the third highness that day. The chief of the guard beside His Royal Highness ...... The minister failed to talk. ”
You Tianfang's words were very painful, and he almost spit them out word by word. Saying such things is equivalent to offending two or three princes at the same time.
However, thinking of Yan Ning wearing men's clothes yesterday, he and Yan Lie stopped him outside the door of his mansion.
"Master You, it's really rude. Originally, the juniors shouldn't have bothered the adults. ”
"What does Miss Yan want to teach her subordinates?"
"I heard that Master You is in You's house, and you have some helpless concerns?"
These words made You Tianfang's heart tighten.
"Lord You, if you find anything, you should tell the emperor's uncle the truth. After my prince's brother recovers from his injuries, my aunt will be in a better mood. My aunt is in a good mood, so she wants to talk to the old ladies of each family, I often hear my mother say that mothers are always concerned about their children, and these ladies and aunts will definitely be able to talk. ”
"By the way, Master You, I heard that in some families, if the concubine is born, the biological mother will still suffer. If my aunt had known, she would have sympathized with them. ”
Yan Ning's words were headless and brainless, but in You Tianfang's heart, he threw a boulder and set off thousands of waves.
On the surface, he still calmly said the words "the lower officials dare not do their best", but his hands trembled a little excitedly under the official sleeves.
You Tianfang, the concubine of the You family, was recorded in the name of his mother-in-law because of his outstanding studies. Because of this, everything he got belonged to the You family, and he earned a life for his mother, and this life could only fall on his mother-in-law.
His biological mother, in front of his mother-in-law, sometimes, is even inferior to a decent maid in the You family. (To be continued.) )
