After the nurse went down, Lin Yan asked Mu Qingdao, "What do you think?" ”

Mu Qingdao: "Slave maid, there shouldn't be a problem with Huang Nanniang, there is nothing wrong with her serving the little prince for so long." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoIf she is really involved with the Jiang family, I am afraid that the fifth prince will not deliberately say it to her now. The fifth prince walked around all the palaces of the harem, saying that he was interceding for Jiang Jieyu, but he didn't look like it, but it made the slave feel that he was deliberately confusing the public and covering up the person he really wanted to see. ”

Lin Yan asked again: "In addition to Huang Nanniang, who else did the fifth prince talk to?" "There should still be people from the Jiang family in this harem, she must want to do something after she has worked so hard.

Mu Qingdao: "In addition to Huang Nanniang, the people in Wu Guifei's palace, the Xianfei palace, and the people in Shufei and Zhaorong Palace, he has spoken, and even the people around the crown princess have spoken, but there is nothing wrong with what he said." ”

Lin Yan said: "As long as you talk to the five princes, pay more attention." ”

Mu Qing nodded, then shook his head helplessly, and said, "This person's character is resolute, and he really refuses to give up until he dies." She also involved the five princes in this way, and she was not afraid of affecting the five princes. ”

Lin Yan said: "She calculated that the emperor would be soft on the child, and he would not take the five princes." And the five princes probably just listened to the Jiang family to meet someone, but the Jiang family may not tell the five princes what she wants to do. ”

Mu Qingdao: "After all, she still uses the five princes as a tool, if she is a mother, she knows that the emperor will not do anything to the child, and she is willing to take the child to risk." "This one can even ignore the lives of his relatives.

Lin Yan was also a little tired of the Jiang family, sighed deeply helplessly, and said: "It's really a scourge to keep her in the world, sometimes I just want to let her go, but it doesn't make people kind." "Even if she is sent to the palace to be imprisoned, it may not be able to lock her up, and it is difficult to ensure that she will not do anything again.

Mu Qing's heart moved, and said, "Niangniang means that she wants to ......"

Lin Yan said: "It doesn't matter what the palace thinks, what matters is what the emperor thinks." ”

Even if the Jiang family wants to die, then the emperor should be allowed to open this mouth.

Mu Qing also understood.

Lin Yan said: "Continue to stare at Lihe Palace and the Five Princes." ”

Mu Qingdao is.

However, less than two days later, the news of the fifth prince's illness came from Chongyang Palace.

Mu Zhi said: "The fifth prince burned badly, and kept muttering to see Jiang Jieyu. ”

Lin Yan asked, "Have you told the emperor?" ”

Mu Zhi said: "I have already asked people to report to the emperor." Mu Zhi paused for a moment, and then said: "I heard that in the past two days, the five princes refused to make charcoal to keep warm in Chongyang Palace, deliberately opened the windows at night, and refused to cover the quilt when they slept, so they froze for two days, but they deliberately wanted to get sick." ”

Lin Yan was silent for a moment and said, "Let's go to Chongyang Palace and have a look." ”

When Lin Yan arrived at Chongyang Palace, the emperor was already here.

The five princes sat on the bed, their faces full of sickness, and the emperor sat on the edge of the bed of the five princes, holding a bowl of medicine in his hand, and motioned for the five princes to drink the medicine.

The fifth prince looked at the emperor and said, "Father, the son wants the mother concubine to take care of the son and daughter." ”

The emperor frowned when he heard this, the expression on his face turned cold, and he directly put the medicine bowl back on the tray held by the palace man with a "bang", and said with anger: "You think that if you get sick, you can threaten me, if you don't take care of your body, don't want others to take care of it." ”

After speaking, he said in a cold voice: "The palace people of Chongyang Palace did not take good care of the five princes, and they were all tied up to play twenty boards. ”

The fifth prince already had a sick look on his face, and after hearing the emperor's words, his face became more and more pale, he hung his head but did not speak, did not intercede for the palace people, but quietly clenched his fists.

The emperor's face was already a little angry, he stood up and looked at him coldly, and said: "I don't forgive you this time, and next time, I won't even invite you to the imperial doctor, you will die or live, and I will not lack a son." As for your mother, she won't think of it in her life. ”

The emperor said again: "Let the imperial doctor take a good look at the five princes, if he refuses to take medicine, he will directly pour it into me." ”

After speaking, he turned around and wanted to leave, but when he saw Lin Yan, before Lin Yan could speak, the emperor had already pulled her out and said, "Let him reflect on himself, don't worry about him, you go out with me." ”

Lin Yan had no choice but to come out with him, and followed the emperor to the imperial court, and then the emperor ordered: "Go to Changkun Palace." ”

Along the way, the emperor's face was very bad and extremely unpleasant, Lin Yan turned his head to look at him and said, "Don't be too angry, it's normal for the fifth prince to want to save his mother." ”

The emperor snorted coldly and said, "It's all the Jiang family's bad, look at what she has taught the five princes to be, and the five princes will not be allowed to run to Lihe Palace in the future." ”

In the emperor's eyes, everything was the fault of the Jiang family, and it was she who took advantage of the filial piety of the five princes to her.

Lin Yan did not speak.

When he returned to Changkun Palace, he saw Princess Jue and Prince Huan, and the emperor held them in his hands one by one and sat on the couch.

Princess Jue and the little prince Huan were very happy to see him, and crawled on him with a giggle, the emperor's face softened, and he said with a slight smile: "Or our Jue'er and Huan'er are sensible and well-behaved, unlike your fifth brother, who will make my father angry." ”

The illness of the fifth prince lasted for a long time and did not improve, and until the Chinese New Year, he was still sick for a while.

On the Jiang family's side, to Lin Yan's surprise, she didn't seem to move. Calm and quiet, as if he had accepted his fate.

Until the day before the Chinese New Year's Eve, Lin Yan told the emperor about the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet: "...... In addition to King Hui's Mansion and Bohai Royal Mansion, King Heng's Mansion, King Yan's Mansion and Qinghe Palace's Mansion are all clans close to Xinzhong, so the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet concubines also invited them in, what does the emperor think? ”

The emperor held the little prince Huan in his hand, and said casually while bowing his head to coax him: "Your decision is, you have been in charge of it all these years, and you have never made a mistake, I believe in you." He said and said, "Since Xiao Wu is sick, don't let him come out at the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, let him take care of it." ”

Then at this time, Princess Rui and Princess Jun walked in from the outside while chattering, and the two sisters wore exactly the same cotton jacket and cloak, their faces were flushed, and their eyes were smiling. He was followed by the prince who came with him, and the little eunuch who carried the food box.

When Princess Jun saw the emperor, she ran over with a smile and shouted with a smile: "Father." ”

Princess Rui's rules are better now, and she knows that she will come over to salute the emperor and Lin Yan first, and say, "Erchen has seen his father and mother. ”

The emperor smiled when he saw them, and asked in a gentle voice, "Where did Rui'er and Jun'er go back?" ”

Princess Rui said: "Erchen and Jun'er went to find Yuan'er to play. ”

Princess Jun pointed to the prince behind her and said, "Brother Prince sent us back." ”

The crown prince walked over, saluted the emperor and Lin Yan, and said, "I have seen my father and mother." ”

The emperor nodded and motioned for him to get up, and asked him, "I haven't seen you for the past two days, where have you gone?" ”

The prince replied: "Erchen and Chengzheng went hunting outside the city together. He said again: "It's the son's unfilial piety, and I forgot to come to my father to ask for peace in the past two days." ”

The emperor said, "Since you are here, stay in Changkun Palace and dine with your queen mother at night." ”

The prince said yes.

At this time, Princess Jun pointed to the food box carried by the little eunuch and said to the emperor: "There are pastries, given by the princess and sister-in-law, for the father and mother, as well as Jue'er and Huan'er." ”

The emperor laughed, touched her head and smiled, "What pastry, so rare?" ”

The prince glanced at Princess Jun, smiled softly, and replied in her place: "It was the jujube mud cake made by the princess, and the princess saw that Rui'er and Jun'er liked to eat it, so she asked her to pack some and let her sons bring them over." ”

Princess Jun excitedly took the food box from the eunuch's hand, opened the lid of the food box, took out the plate containing the pastries inside, and brought it to the emperor and Lin Yan like a treasure, and said: "Father, queen mother, look at it, the delicious jujube mud cake is better than that made by Aunt Muzhi." ”

Lin Yan glanced at it, then pinched Princess Jun's nose with a smile, and said, "Aunt Muzhi will be sad when she hears this." ”

When the little prince Huan saw that there was something to eat, his eyes lit up, and he stretched out his hand from the emperor's arms to break the plate in Princess Jun's hand, and wanted to take the pastry from the plate while screaming.

Princess Jun smiled when she saw it, picked up a piece and sent it to Prince Huan's hand.

If it was usual, the things that the crown princess asked people to send in, Lin Yan would not have any doubts. But Lin Yan has recently made the Jiang family suspicious, and she has a lot of eyes when she sees everything, so she gestured to Mu Ye.

Mu Ye understood, walked over with a smile, took the pastry from the hand of Prince Huan and put it back on the plate, and snatched the plate from Princess Jun's hand, and said, "Fourth princess, the slave maid will take down the pastry first and heat it up before eating." ”

The emperor looked at Lin Yan with some surprise, and Lin Yan said to the emperor: "It's not a big mistake to be careful. Then he nodded to Mu Ye.

Mu Ye took the pastry, curtsied at the emperor and Lin Yan, and then went down.

The prince raised his eyes and glanced at Lin Yan, and his face was a little gloomy. Does she believe that he even has to guard against him? When did they all get to this point?

But after a while, after Mu Ye came out, his face was a little wrong, and he curtled his knees to the emperor and Lin Yan, and called out, "Your Majesty, Niangniang ......"

The emperor is good at observing words and feelings, and when he sees it, he knows that something is wrong, and even the prince's eyes narrowed and looked at Mu Ye.

The emperor's voice took on majesty and asked, "Say, what's the matter?" ”

Mu Ye said: "There are twelve pastries on the plate, but three of them are mixed with a large amount of strychnine. ”

Originally, it was just a matter of being cautious, but Mu Ye didn't expect that there was really a problem when he checked out, and even Lin Yan was a little surprised, he didn't expect that something would appear here in the end.

The emperor's face darkened, and his elbow inadvertently touched the tea bowl on the small table, and the tea bowl fell from the small table, making a crisp "clang" sound in the silent palace.

Princess Rui and Princess Jun, who were originally talking together, were startled, and when they turned their heads and saw the emperor's dark face, they quickly stood up and hid beside Lin Yan, looking at the emperor with some fear and anxiety.

The emperor was gentle and easy most of the time, but when he occasionally lost his temper, Princess Rui and Princess Jun were also very afraid of him. Only the little prince Huan was still very happy, and when he heard the sound of the tea bowl breaking, he clapped his palms happily.

Lin Yan took Princess Rui and Princess Jun into her arms, while the crown prince had already knelt on the ground, his face was a little blue, and his forehead was slightly sweaty.

The pastries were sent from Yanqing Palace, and they had nothing to do with Yanqing Palace anyway.

The emperor said angrily: "Immediately invite the imperial doctor to come in and show the third and fourth princesses, and in addition, control all the palace people in Yanqing Palace, and interrogate them one by one." ”

As he spoke, he remembered something, put the little prince Huan in Lin Yan's arms, and then beckoned Princess Rui and Princess Jun over, touched their faces and asked with some eagerness and some anxiety: "How many pastries have you eaten in Yanqing Palace, and do you feel unwell." ”

Princess Rui and Princess Jun shook their heads.

The emperor thought of Mu Ye, who knew a little about medicine, and pointed at her and said, "Mu Ye, you know medical skills, you can show the third and fourth princesses immediately." ”

Mu Ye took Princess Rui and Princess Jun aside, checked their pulses one by one with one hand, and then shook her head at Lin Yan.

Lin Yan was relieved at this time, and then gradually calmed down, pulled the emperor, and said, "Your Majesty, it's going to be the New Year, don't make a big deal about it." Control all the palace people in Yanqing Palace, others still think that the prince has done something, what do you let the people outside look at the East Palace. Quietly tied up a few people who had touched the pastry and interrogated them. ”

The emperor also reacted that he was confused for a while, and this matter could not be a big deal, so he nodded slightly and gestured to the prince Wan beside him.

The emperor glanced at the crown prince who was still kneeling, with a complicated expression on his face.

The crown prince raised his head and argued to the emperor: "Father, the son will not do such a harmful thing, today's incident is that someone deliberately framed Yanqing Palace." ”

The emperor said, "I know that you are not so stupid. As he spoke, he became angry again, and said angrily: "This is someone who simply doesn't want me to celebrate the New Year!" ”

Gong Wan led the people and quietly went to Yanqing Palace to tie up the people, and did not alarm people.

When the crown princess knew that the pastries brought back by the third and fourth princesses from Yanqing Palace had strychnine powder on them, her eyes widened in shock, she could hardly believe it, and then she was so frightened that her legs almost went limp.

When Gonggong Wan went straight in to catch the one who made the pastry, he probably realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly took off a silver bracelet on his wrist, and broke a small mechanism on the silver bracelet, and the bracelet was clearly split into two parts, and the hollowed out place contained white powder. Then when he saw it, he was about to pour it into his mouth, but when Grandpa Wan came in time, the powder was controlled before he could swallow it.

Then there is still a peaceful and lively New Year, but Grandpa Wan has been a little busy this year, and people can often hear the sound of people begging for mercy and shouting in the torture room of the Yeting Palace, but there are not many people.

The crown princess hurried to Changkun Palace on the night of the accident and knelt in front of Lin Yan to plead guilty.

The crown princess said: "Erchen didn't expect that there were such people with evil intentions around him, so he was originally serving in the Shangshi Bureau, and Erchen saw that her pastries were well done, so he asked for it." Erchen was blinded by a goose, she served in Yanqing Palace for more than half a year, but Erchen didn't see that something was wrong, and almost caused a catastrophe. ”

Lin Yan said: "You don't have to blame yourself too much, let's see what is going on first." ”

A person who serves in the harem can't get something as poisonous as strychnine, so someone must have given it to her.

At first, she said that the crown princess instructed her to do it, and she was tortured twice, and then she changed her words, saying that Wu Guifei asked her to harm the queen and several princesses born to the queen, and then said that Princess Hui forced her to do this.

There was a nephew outside the palace who owed a lot of gambling debts a few years ago and almost killed him, but in the end someone paid back the money for her nephew and saved his life.

Then the brother died early, leaving this nephew as the only incense, so he treated the nephew as a son.

Father-in-law Wan tied up her nephew, and chopped off one of her nephew's fingers without telling the truth.

Wan Gong's judge is still very set, touching the lifeblood of Soo, after her nephew's ten fingers were chopped off, when she was about to chop off her toes, she finally confessed.

The use of strychnine to poison people was instructed by the Jiang family to do it, and the Jiang family was kind to her, and threatened the life of her nephew, so she had to obey the Jiang family's orders.

The Jiang family didn't let her have to poison anyone, as long as it was someone from Changkun Palace, Lin Yan was also a few princesses, and if she could poison one, it would be counted as one, and if she could poison two, it would be counted as a pair. Even if it doesn't work, you can blame the crown prince and the crown princess, so that Changkun Palace and Yanqing Palace will be estranged. Or blame Zhaoyang Palace and let Changkun Palace and Zhaoyang Palace kill each other.

As for the poisoned strychnine powder, it was given to her by the Jiang family through the hands of the five princes, and it was hidden in a hollow silver bracelet.

When she was making pastries, she mixed a few pieces of poisonous pastry into the non-toxic pastries, and the rest of the strychnine was reserved for her own self-destruction. It's a pity that she was still afraid of death, and after the pastries were sent out, she didn't commit suicide as soon as possible, but waited until the matter was revealed and Father-in-law Wan came to kidnap people before she remembered that she couldn't survive.

By the time things came to light, the year had already passed and it had been fifteen.

Mu Qing sighed and said to Lin Yan: "The slave maid is crazy when she sees that the Jiang family is crazy, Niangniang's idea is right, this kind of person is indeed not worth staying in the world anymore." "She's reckless at all, as long as she can hurt people.

Originally, at this time, the Jiang family should have been sent to the palace, but the emperor stood out the window and looked outside, and finally said very calmly: "Demote to a concubine, reward her with a white silk, don't see blood just after the New Year." ”

Wan Gong was fair, and then led people to Lihe Palace.

Jiang Shi was not surprised when he looked at the three-foot white silk held by Gonggong Wan and the eunuch behind him.

She even said with some pity: "It seems that none of Lin Yan and the few little wild seeds she gave birth to, it's a pity." ”

Father-in-law Wan didn't want to talk nonsense with her, and said, "Come on, send Jiangshu people on the road." ”

The sturdy eunuch next to him bent down and said yes, then picked up the white silk and walked to Jiang's side, and then put the white silk around Jiang's neck.

The Jiang clan struggled and said angrily: "You let go of me, I want to see the fifth prince." ”

She must see the five princes, even if she dies, she must first explain to the five princes and let him avenge her.

Wan Gong said: "You can't see the five princes." He waved his hand and said, "Send her on her way." ”

Then Bai Aya was strangled around her neck, and Jiang reached out to tear Bai Aya away, but gradually lost her strength, and her face became bruised......

The world became gradually darker in front of her, inch after inch smaller and darker, and the Jiang family was unwilling, very unwilling.

She didn't get the power, glory, and the man she wanted once. In the end, she just wanted Lin Yan to die and make the emperor suffer, but the result was still unrealized.

At the same time, the five princes were running desperately, running desperately, desperately running in the direction of Lihe Palace, there were tears on his face, but he didn't even have time to wipe it.

There were palace people chasing him behind, but they couldn't catch up.

Then when he finally arrived at Lihe Palace, the fifth prince looked at the palace people who were watching him outside, and said angrily and resentfully: "Get out of my way." ”

Of course, the palace people didn't roll, and in the end, the seventh prince directly pulled out the dagger in his hand, and then broke in.

But when he entered, he only saw the Jiang clan lying on the ground.

Jiang was no longer breathing, but his eyes were wide open, facing the direction of the five princes, where there was unwillingness and disdain, as if he was still saying to the five princes: "Avenge me, avenge me......"

The five princes were dumbfounded, almost speechless, and wanted to shout "mother concubine" several times but found that they couldn't make a sound.

Gonggong Wan glanced at the five princes and reprimanded the palace people at the door: "Are you all dead? actually let the five princes break in. (To be continued.) )
