Imperial Physician Liu's voice choked up as he spoke, as if he was about to be retaliated against by the real murderer. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Old Concubine Du sympathized for a while.
Hearing this, the Queen Mother muttered: "Imperial Doctor Liu, your words are already known to the palace, you can completely treat this matter as if you don't know, the palace will not let you be personally threatened, and this matter will never be spread out again except for a few people in my house." Stand down. ”
When Imperial Physician Liu heard this, he was grateful and said, "Thank you for the Queen Mother's compassion." Wechen retired. ”
The Queen Mother suddenly learned the truth, her heart was sad, and her eyes were full of grief and indignation.
She had already thought of the murderer who was most likely going to kill her.
Old Concubine Du had heard of the intrigue in the palace, but what she didn't expect was that someone really wanted to attack the Queen Mother, if the Queen Mother was gone, the emperor's throne would be difficult to protect, after all, the emperor was still too tender.
And the Queen Mother fell ill, and the beneficiary was obviously the emperor's uncle - Zhu Shuang!
The Queen Mother felt sad for a while, she glanced at Old Concubine Du, speechless, and sighed after a while: "You should not know about this matter, don't spread it to outsiders." ”
"Don't worry, Yi'an and I will be tight-lipped." The old lady said with a heavy heart.
Uncle Huang is a typical hypocritical and arrogant person, who is despised and incapable in his bones, and his attitude is high-flying and domineering, and he is not liked by the children of the Zhu family, so he befriended officials with different surnames, such as Li Yan, Ding Mi and other sycophants. The Queen Mother originally used the two auxiliary ministers of Taifu Nangong Yi and Imperial Uncle Zhu Shuang to check and balance each other and assist the emperor.
However, Nangong Yi is too honest, his real power has been emptied, and he has recently been called sick at home, and the real power of the entire court has been controlled by Zhu Shuang in disguise.
The Queen Mother said with a grudge: "It's really a wolf's ambition, this palace was almost deceived." ”
"Queen Mother, Lord Taifu has been recuperating for almost half a year." The old lady suddenly reminded.
The Queen Mother was slightly stunned, yes, it's time to invite Nangong Yi out of the mountain, after all, their mother and son are outnumbered, Nangong Yi's power is just right to balance Zhu Shuang, if Nangong Yi doesn't come out of the mountain again, their position is in jeopardy.
Zhu Yue looked at the Queen Mother and was quite sympathetic, even if Nangong Yi went out of the mountain, she would have to wait until the beginning of spring next year at the earliest, but she couldn't tell the Queen Mother about this in advance.
Empress Dowager Guo glanced at Zhu Yue, and Fang Cai's anger had dissipated.
"Queen Mother, think twice about this." The old lady jumped in horror.
The Queen Mother pondered for a moment and said to the palace maid: "Xuanyu Lin Jun has all come to see me. ”
"Yes."
When the old lady saw the palace maid leaving, she also got up and said, "Since the queen mother has something important to discuss with General Nangong, we will retire first." ”
"Go ahead." The Queen Mother said lightly.
The old lady left with Zhu Xuan and walked out of the courtyard, the old lady's hand let go, and she looked at Zhu Yue with a smile: "You are so bold, the Queen Mother dares to contradict it." ”
"Thanks to that Imperial Physician Liu."
"Yes, although Imperial Doctor Liu didn't intercede for you, he clarified the Queen Mother's illness and cleared your suspicions. The Queen Mother will no longer doubt you. The old lady was pleased.
But why did Imperial Physician Liu point out that there was a problem with tea regardless of his personal life?
Zhu Yu was thinking about it, and in the front yard, under the guidance of the big palace maid, Nangong Master was hurrying over here. Master Nangong didn't squint, as if he didn't notice the old lady Du and Zhu Yue walking on the side of the road.
Zhu Yu looked at the figure of Nangong Shi hurriedly entering Yonghe Palace and was stunned, and the old lady's voice in the distance came from his ears: "Yi'an, why don't you leave?" ”
Zhu Yue came back to his senses and followed the old lady back to Pei Wangfu.
Just when everyone was worried about the Yi'an Township Lord, Zhu Yue followed the old lady back unharmed, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but Mrs. Guo and Zhu Bi's hopes were once again in vain, and they were disappointed.
Zhu Bi, whose head was bandaged with gauze, lay on the couch and hummed: "Mother, the child has suffered so much, and that concubine is at large." Why didn't the Queen Mother cure the sin of the evil star? ”
Mrs. Guo sighed, looked at Zhu Bi with a red veil on her head distressed, and said indignantly: "Yes, how could the Queen Mother let her back so easily?" She is obviously a bad star, causing the Queen Mother and the Queen to fall ill. ”
When the old lady returned to the Lingmoss Courtyard, she quietly told the fifth princess what happened in the palace.
The fifth princess smacked her tongue and said in a low voice: "So the imperial brother is going to do it in advance." ”
"It is estimated that Li Yan will also participate." The old lady sighed, it is a recognized fact that Li Yan and Zhu Shuang are too close.
The old lady thought for a while and said: "Don't go back to the princess's mansion these ****, and don't contact Li Yan, nothing happened, I'll take care of it for you if something happens." The Nangong family is not as simple as Zhu Shuang thought. ”
"But isn't Master Taifu sick?" The fifth princess was puzzled, "Taifu has ignored the government for a long time, although his two sons have soldiers, but the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are obedient to the emperor's brother, and the Nangong Mansion can compete with the imperial brother?" Besides, if she can really compete, this time the Queen Mother asked Nangong Shi to persuade Master Taifu that Taifu should come out of the mountain. ”
The old lady smiled and sighed: "Taifu, that old fox, will not go out of the mountain as a last resort, if he goes out of the mountain, there will be a bloody storm in the court." ”
The fifth princess nodded thoughtfully.
"Nangong Zhao has already sent troops, not in Kyoto, leaving his eldest brother Nangong Division, although he is the commander of the Yulin Army, but this matter is difficult to say, now is not the time to go out of the mountain, you see, Lord Taifu will continue to call sick." The old lady said idly.
The fifth princess was puzzled: "Mother, if this matter is true, why don't you tell the royal brother?" After all, if the imperial brother is good, Li Yan will not be unlucky, and he will not affect me and Wei'er. ”
"Do you still miss him?" The old lady put down the cup disdainfully, "The one who has no interest, just ask not to harm the people of our Zhu family, it will be Amitabha." ”
As he was talking, the waiter outside the door stood by the door and said loudly: "Old lady, Mrs. Ding is here." ”
The mother and daughter stopped talking, and saw Mrs. Ding walking in with a smile, and the two maidservants behind her were holding food boxes.
Mrs. Ding smiled when she entered the door: "Old lady, it's good for you to come back, Yi'an is okay, right?" I haven't had time to see Yi'an yet. I'm busy with everything. ”
The old lady smiled: "Yi'an is fine, the Queen Mother fell ill after eating the wrong thing, it has nothing to do with our Yi'an." ”
"That's good." Mrs. Ding sat down and motioned to Brother Lian and Brother Zhu, who came with her, to put down the food box.
The two maidservants opened the food box and saw two square cakes with good color and fragrance, Mrs. Ding signaled: "This is a crystal cake, that one chrysanthemum cake, all of which are suitable for the food, the old lady and the five princesses have tasted it, if you think it is okay, is it mainly these two cakes on the day of the Double Ninth Festival?" ”
"Well, this pastry tastes crispy and crispy, not like our chef's cooking, I like it very much." The fifth princess took a bite and chewed it carefully, and commented with a smile.
The old lady also took a bite and nodded with satisfaction: "I don't have to worry about what you pick, so be it." ”
"Then the daughter-in-law will do it." Mrs. Ding smiled, and as soon as she got up, she seemed to remember something, and said, "By the way, do you want to invite guests from Nangong Mansion?" General Zhao and Mrs. Wang haven't been here for a long time. ”
"They don't think they're available. Sister-in-law doesn't know, General Zhao has already set out on the expedition. The fifth princess said idly.
Mrs. Ding smiled in surprise: "I've been busy with the affairs of the mansion these days, and I don't know much about the outside affairs, so it turns out that General Zhao has gone to Dongyue." General Zhao will definitely win this battle. ”
The old lady nodded in agreement, and the fifth princess smiled: "Maybe it's not Dongyue." It's all said that the east and the west are striking. ”
"Rong'er, don't talk nonsense." The old lady chuckled softly.
Mrs. Ding also smiled: "In my opinion, it also seems to be a sound from east to west." The old lady and the daughter-in-law retired. ”
"Go ahead."
Mrs. Ding glanced at the old lady who was nothing, and still left with a smile.
When Zhu Yue returned to Beiling Courtyard, he heard Yuxiang say that Xie Yun wanted to see her.
Hsieh's Ayun?
The girl who walked with Liu Fang had no opinions, but she still had a sense of proportion, otherwise she would have ended up with a tragic death like Liu Fang.
Xie Yun invited her to meet at the Yage, a teahouse near the Vermilion Bird Bridge.
When Zhu Yun saw Xie Yun, she was looking at the teacup in a daze, and when Zhu Yun came over and sat beside her, Xie Yun came back to her senses, she described her thinness, her face no longer had the brilliance of the past, and her puffy eyes bulged, making Zhu Yun look uncomfortable, Xie Yun's former arrogance was gone. It can be seen that she is still in a trance mentally, and her eyes are cloudy, and she can't imagine that Liu Fang's unexpected death will cause such a big blow to her. Xie Yun's jewelry was also sloppy and simple, which made her face even more pale and decadent.
Zhu Yu sighed.
A Yun of the Xie family of Chen County, in terms of relatives, is her cousin, but because of the difference between her concubines, Xie Yun chose to get close to Liu Fang and Zhu Bi, and Liu Fang's fate gave her a wake-up call.
As long as she can live well, that's enough, what kind of concubine? At the critical moment, no one dared to advocate justice for Liu Fang.
Liu Fang's death is inseparable from Zhu Bi, and Zhu Bi is so lawless, but no one can really govern her.
Liu Fang's death is estimated to be blamed for freedom in Zhu Bi's view.
If it weren't for Zhu Bi's sowing discord, Liu Fang and Zhu Xuan would have no grievances, so why gamble with their lives for this game.
Xie Yun didn't dare to tell Lord Liu the truth, afraid that Lord Liu would go to her father to reason, if her father knew, he would definitely beat her to death, and Zhu Bi could still get away with it with Mrs. Guo's spoiling.
Liu Fang died too miserably, these days Xie Yun doesn't sleep well and doesn't eat well, and often has nightmares, Xie Yun finally mustered up the courage to meet Zhu Yue.
Zhu Xuan saw her lost soul and looked at her speechlessly.
Xie Yun said in a trance: "You are here." ”
"What are you looking for me?" Zhu Yue looked at her and asked lightly, "You look sad, what's wrong?" ”
And the face asked!
Xie Yun was in a trance, and suddenly seemed to be awakened, and said, "You deliberately wanted to kill Liu Fang!" ”
The corners of Zhu Xuan's lips were slightly hooked, there was no impermeable wall in the private room of the restaurant, and she still said slowly: "You are looking for me just to slander me?" Liu Fang is dead, as a person I know, I deeply sympathize, looking at your appearance, it seems that you are not at ease, do you think you are responsible for Liu Fang's death? Lord Liu has already dealt with the family who really killed Liu Fang, don't you know? ”
But in Xie Yun's eyes, the person who really killed Liu Fang was Zhu Bi, and Zhu Yu knew that Liu Fang might die, and he also let Liu Fang die in such an accident, and the two sisters of the Zhu family were ruthless people.
When Xie Yun saw Lang Yue behind her, he subconsciously didn't argue with him again. She sighed heavily.
"I came to you to ask about Liu Fang's accident that day." Xie Yun said in a deep voice.
Zhu Yue said lightly: "The matter has been clarified, why don't you ask Liu Shilang, don't ask the master of Changle Pavilion, but ask an irrelevant person." ”
Xie Yun's face was red for a while, Zhu Yue looked at her, and then looked at the window paper behind her, which was miserable white, as if there was some secret hidden.
Xie Yun paused and said, "If it weren't for you and Liu Fang to compete, Liu Fang wouldn't have died, all of this was caused by you on purpose!" ”
Zhu Yue laughed silently, "Xie Ayun, I think you are a lady from a scholarly family, I can't imagine that you don't blush and your heart doesn't beat when you tell lies, what does this matter have to do with me, if it weren't for Liu Fang's aggressiveness, if you have to compete, would such an accident happen?" Or did you know that such an accident would happen and deliberately forced me to compete? ”
The two men confronted each other, neither of them speaking first.
Xie Yun felt cold in her heart, she wanted to set Zhu Yue's words, but she couldn't get a useful sentence.
Seriously, Liu Fang did want to frame Zhu Yue at the beginning, and then ask Zhu Bi for credit, if the matter is done, Liu Fang may be able to become the wife of Pei Wangfu, the matter is defeated, and Zhu Bi protects Liu Fang, but no one expected that the worst result is Liu Fang's tragic death.
Liu Fang's death caused panic in Xie Yun.
Coupled with Lord Liu's questioning and her conscience condemnation, she had to vent her anger.
The noble status of the lord of Changle Pavilion is beyond her reach, and the easiest thing to pass on is this Yi'an township lord who seems to be noble but is actually a concubine.
Xie Yun's eyes could frost: "There are only two of us here, don't you still admit it?" ”
"I have a clear conscience, what do I admit?" Zhu Yue said lightly, "Or do you admit that this is not an accident, but a conspiracy, so is the person who is the conspiracy against me?" Could it be that you have planned to take my life in advance, and you have accidentally killed your own people? ”
Xie Yun stood up angrily and glared at her with a blushing face: "You are talking nonsense! ”
"I didn't want to mention this matter again, but you insisted on turning it out again and saying that in order to be worthy of your good intentions, I had to express my suspicions, isn't this a conspiracy between the master of Changle Pavilion and you and Liu Fang? What do you want to do? The beasts in the paddock ran to the pasture, and the arrow shouldn't have been shot in Liu Fang's direction, this was not an accident at all! ”
Xie Yun's face changed, "If you talk nonsense again, I will take you as an official." ”
Zhu Yu smiled again and again, behaved very hesitantly, and said weakly: "You are fighting for Liu Fang, why don't you go to find the real murderer behind the scenes?" In fact, I think this matter will be exposed sooner or later, if Liu Fang is not involved, then this whole thing has a lot to do with the master of Changle Pavilion, of course, I am in a big disaster, but it's a pity for Liu Fang.
