169 Murderer
The old lady was scolding the Queen Mother behind her back, which made Zhu Yue a little unexpected, and even more unexpected was the Queen Mother who was scolded because of her maintenance. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"Yi'an strictly obeys the old lady's teachings." Zhu Yu said.
When I stepped into Yonghe Palace again along the quaint alley of blue bricks and gray tiles, the atmosphere in the palace was very depressing.
From time to time, there were several palace maids with their heads bowed back and forth, and three or two imperial doctors stood outside to discuss the condition, and the imperial doctors looked awe-inspiring, and it seemed that the queen mother was very sick.
On the way here, Zhu Yue carefully recalled what was said in the history books, the Empress Dowager Guo spent the second half of her life unharmed, and the Empress Dowager's illness was not mentioned, but this year, the Empress Dowager was placed under house arrest by the imperial uncle Zhu Shuang.
The emperor and the empress dowager were forbidden to meet, and two years later, the Futanling coup d'Γ©tat occurred, and the empress dowager was able to meet the emperor again.
If the Queen Mother is pretending to be sick, after the last meeting, she can pretend to be sick at that time, and this time she and the queen both said they were sick, what was the reason.
The curtain of Yonghe Palace was hung high, the sunlight outside the window was blocked, the room was dimly lit, and there was a dead silence.
The palace maid explained: "Bu Operator has just come and asked for a talisman water for the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother has just drunk it, and her body has improved. β
When the palace maid said this, it seemed that she was exonerating Zhu Yue.
The old lady and Zhu Yu already believed in their hearts that the queen mother was really sick.
"How did the Queen Mother get sick?" The old lady asked softly.
The palace maid glanced at Zhu Yue and said: "I don't know why, after seeing the old concubine Du and the township lord of Yi'an, she fell down inexplicably, and not only the queen mother, but also Her Royal Highness the queen, the fortune operator immortal just went to the queen's palace and asked the queen for water." β
The old lady was surprised when she heard this, and her stomach was a little unhappy, and she said, "How can there be such a coincidence, is it something that has been eaten badly?" β
The palace maid shook her head: "The fortune operator immortal just said that the queen mother and the queen were mistakenly attracted by evil, and now in this house, you see that yellow paper is pasted to prevent the evil qi from hurting the queen mother again, so after the Yi'an township lord comes in, the queen mother will not be attacked by the evil qi again this time." β
"What are these words? Our Yi'an is an auspicious star in the house, if it is like you said, why am I fine? The old lady angrily refuted the words of the great palace maid.
The palace maid was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly smiled: "Old Concubine Du, don't blame, I also listened to what the fortune operator immortal said, you better explain this matter to the queen mother." β
As he was talking, a weak voice came from inside the room: "Who's making noise outside?" β
The palace maid said slowly: "Empress Dowager, it was the old lady Du who led the Yi'an township lord over. β
"Call them in."
The Queen Mother's tone was a little soft, and she could hear that she was weak now.
The palace maid opened the curtain and asked the old lady and Zhu Yue to go in.
Seeing Zhu Yue, the Queen Mother suddenly bounced up from the couch and said, "Is your mother Fang Ji wronged?" β
Zhu Yue was not in a hurry to answer, and the old lady had already said first: "Queen Mother, I don't know where to start?" β
The Queen Mother coughed and said: "The fortune operator just came and told the palace that the phoenix body of the palace was attacked by evil qi, so it caused the disease, not only the palace, but also the queen, Old Concubine Du, why didn't you mention that there is a ghost in your house?" Has Fang Ji never been alive and dead? β
Empress Dowager Guo looked at Zhu Yue nervously, her eyes showed fear and disgust, obviously she had already known about Fang Ji's affairs!
"The Queen Mother, the fortune operator is strong, but he miscalculated one thing, Fang Ji was not wronged, she ran out of the house without permission that day, and met someone who abducted and trafficked people, I don't know where she was abducted, my daughter-in-law also knows about this matter, I don't believe that the Queen Mother can summon my daughter-in-law to ask."
The old lady's daughter-in-law is the niece of the Empress Dowager Guo, the old lady said so, even if her niece said anything, she didn't dare to admit in front of the old lady that Fang Ji's soul was still in the Pei Wangfu.
Empress Dowager Guo sighed and said, "So, Fang Ji's matter is a rumor? β
"Yes, Queen Mother, Fang Ji was abducted by someone, and now I don't know where to be a man's wife, and it has nothing to do with our Pei Wangfu. Her daughter is also the blood and blood of our prince. The status is still noble. β
The words said by the old lady made Zhu Yue very uncomfortable, Fang Ji was her biological mother, and the disdain for Fang Ji in the old lady's tone even exceeded Mrs. Guo's dissatisfaction with Fang Ji.
In that case, why did the old lady defend her so much?
After all, she is the daughter born to Fang Ji, the old lady doesn't like Fang Ji, why does she like Fang Ji's daughter?
Zhu Xuan listened to the two elders talking about his biological mother in a daze, fidgeting.
The Queen Mother originally wanted to summon Zhu Xuan to punish her, but because of the old lady's words, she sympathized with Zhu Xuan again.
But what puzzled Empress Dowager Guo was that no one wanted to be angry in the house, and the old lady loved this questionable concubine, which was confusing and a little emotional.
"The Queen Mother is good, what kind of illness did she have?" The old lady's topic turned to the Queen Mother's illness again.
The Queen Mother said: "The imperial doctor said that the pulse of the palace was disordered, and it was infected with the virus that caused vomiting and diarrhea, and the fortune operator said that the palace suffered from evil spirits, but in fact, they were all right, the palace hit the evil star today, and the queen will both fall ill." β
"Queen Mother, Yi'an is the auspicious star in our house, what are you talking about?" The old lady pretended not to know.
The Queen Mother was startled, blinked her eyes, and she didn't want to admit that she was unfair, so she said: "Old lady, this palace has heard that the auspicious star and the evil star in your house were born on the same day, and my niece and granddaughter Changle is the auspicious star, why is there another auspicious star in the mansion?" β
The old lady said with a smile: "The Queen Mother, you know, Yi'an has the merit of saving the driver, and it is the auspicious star of Pei Wangfu, no one disagrees, of course, Changle is also an auspicious star, and there are two auspicious stars in Pei Wangfu, which is a gratifying thing." β
The Queen Mother couldn't breathe out in her heart.
If it weren't for the fact that the old lady was a generation older than her, she would have jumped to her feet a long time ago.
The Queen Mother was dissatisfied: "Then how does the old lady explain the illness of the palace?" How to explain the Queen's illness? Do you think that the palace and the queen are pretending to be sick and can't get along with a small village owner? β
There was a smell of gunpowder in his tone.
Old Concubine Du was about to explain with a smile, but Zhu Yue said lightly: "Since the Queen Mother thinks that Yi'an caused the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother to fall ill, Yi'an wants to defend herself a few words, I don't know if it's okay?" β
"Say it." The Queen Mother didn't have a good airway.
Zhu Yue asked casually: "When the Queen Mother and the Queen summoned Yi'an, the old lady was there, the emperor was also there, and all the palace maids were there, why did Yi'an only let the Queen Mother and the Queen fall ill?" β
"That's because you're dissatisfied with the palace and the queen, so you want to target the palace and the queen."
Zhu Yue smiled when he heard this: "Yi'an is honestly afraid, how dare you be dissatisfied with the Queen Mother and the Queen?" Under the witness of the Queen Mother and the Empress, Yi'an was named the lord of the township, full of joy, where was there dissatisfaction. Please also ask the Queen Mother to understand Yi'an's mind. β
Empress Dowager Guo was unwilling to say: "That is, you were born with eight characters and the palace and the queen are incompatible, resulting in the palace and the queen being implicated." β
"Yi'an is panicked, Yi'an's eight characters and the sixth sister's eight characters are only five hours away, if my eight characters are not compatible with the queen mother and the queen, then doesn't it mean that the six sisters Changle Pavilion master and the queen mother and the queen's eight characters are also not compatible? The owner of Changle Pavilion often enters the palace to accompany the Queen Mother, why don't you see the eight-character offense? β
The Queen Mother snorted coldly: "Exactly, you got to the point, because the master of Changle Pavilion is an auspicious star, and you are the rumored evil star, this palace has not wronged you." Of course, the eight characters of the auspicious star will not be rushed in the palace, and with the auspicious star here, the palace will only be blessed, which is why I often summon the master of Changle Pavilion to Yonghe Palace. Ever since you came to Hongu, Hongu has not had a good time. β
"What the Queen Mother said is that Ji Xing is by her side, and the Queen Mother does not have to worry about being attacked by evil spirits, if it is true that as the Queen Mother said, I am a bad star, then why don't I see my mother-in-law, father and brothers and sisters sick? On the theory that my family is the closest to me, if it is said that the evil star is impulsive, the evil qi invades, the first to invade is not the queen mother's turn, it should start from my mother-in-law. β
Empress Dowager Guo was speechless. She still stared at Zhu Yue in disbelief.
The rabbit was anxious and biting, the old lady was afraid that the Empress Dowager Guo would be angry, so she couldn't help but deal with Yi'an, and hurriedly eased the atmosphere, and said: "Queen Mother, I believe that Yi'an is the auspicious star of Pei Wangfu, your illness may be due to other reasons, you also said just now, the symptom after you fell ill is vomiting and diarrhea, which is likely to be a bad stomach." β
"How is that possible!" The Queen Mother retorted, "The palace didn't eat anything. β
"But, Queen Mother, Yi'an saw you drink a cup of tea with her own eyes, it seems that the queen also drank it."
If Empress Dowager Guo didn't mean to frame her, then the events of that day should have been done by others, Zhu Yue recalled the situation that day, and the most suspicious thing seemed to be the cup of tea.
She and the old lady didn't drink it, and she remembered that when the emperor came, she just stood and said a few words before leaving, but the queen mother and the queen drank it.
If it was the tea that did it, then who would it be? Who wants to take their anger out on her?
But the Queen Mother didn't believe Zhu Xuan's assumptions, and said angrily: "The palace almost died, do you dare to say that someone under the nose of the palace plotted to kill the palace?" If you don't give this palace an explanation today, don't think about walking out of Yonghe Palace safely and soundly. β
This is what the Queen Mother really wants to say.
If Zhu Xuan doesn't wash away her sins, then the Queen Mother will take her under the knife today.
The old lady's face had changed.
She didn't expect that after Empress Dowager Guo tore apart hypocrisy and dignity, she would be so scoundrel and shameless.
"Queen Mother, I am very sad that you are sick, but you want me to give you an explanation, what can I give you? Could it be that you eat tea and eat bad stomach, Yi'an poisoned it? β
"What did you say?" Empress Dowager Guo was furious, "Making something out of nothing, you said poisoning, the people here in this palace are all reliable people, who do you suspect of poisoning this palace?" β
Originally, the Queen Mother already had a prejudice against Zhu Xuan, and the old lady was worried that Zhu Xuan's words would anger the Queen Mother, so she hurriedly said: "The Queen Mother is angry, this matter should be thoroughly investigated, the Queen Mother's suspicion of Yi'an is not unreasonable, but the Queen Mother's suspicion is caused by the words of the Fortune Operator, but the Fortune Operator only came to our Pei Wangfu yesterday to make a big fuss, the reason is that he calculated that there are dirty things in the east of our Pei Wang's Mansion, and according to the instructions of the old immortal, he did not find the dirty things that the old immortal said, and almost destroyed the flowers and trees of Pei Wang's Mansion. Of course, the old immortal can't be blamed for this incident, and sometimes people make mistakes, but it can be seen from this incident that the words of the divination operator alone are not credible. Queen Mother, you might as well think about it, besides Yonghe Palace, who else would dare to touch your tea? β
Hearing this, Empress Dowager Guo's anger was temporarily extinguished, "The divination operator is like a god, how can it be wrong?" β
"But yesterday the fortune operator did make a mistake, my eldest daughter-in-law can testify, she is your own niece, she will not lie to you. Feel free to ask her. The old lady calculated that Mrs. Guo didn't dare to mention the magic cup, and the queen mother really had to ask, and Mrs. Guo would only deny the way of the divination operator.
Otherwise, Mrs. Guo would not have been able to lie, what did the dirty thing that Bu Operator was talking about.
The Queen Mother thoughtfully, glanced at Zhu Yue, who was casual, and said lightly: "In this palace, who else dares to disrespect me?" β
As soon as the words fell, the Queen Mother's eyes narrowed slightly, and she remembered a person who was staring at her with the gaze of a falcon.
The Queen Mother shook her head in her heart: "No, how is it possible, so unscrupulous?" The queen was also poisoned. β
The Queen Mother was almost talking to herself.
Zhu Yue listened to it and hinted: "Is the queen's illness as serious as the queen mother?" β
When the Queen Mother heard this, she was awe-inspiring, and she hurriedly ordered the palace maid beside her: "Doctor Xuan!" β
"Yes." The palace maid hurriedly went out and called the leading Imperial Doctor Liu to come in.
Seeing the imperial doctor, the queen mother hurriedly asked him about the queen's condition.
Imperial Physician Liu said slowly: "The Queen Mother, the Queen Mother has the same symptoms as you, but the Queen has a good foundation, and there are no major symptoms like the Queen Mother, and now she has eaten the prescription prescribed by the Queen Mother, and it is safe and sound, but the Queen Mother, you have to take good care of your phoenix body, the Fu Shui of the immortals can only be relieved, but it is the duty of the Weichen to protect the Queen Mother's phoenix body and health." β
"Imperial Physician Liu, what do you mean by that?" The Queen Mother frowned.
Imperial Physician Liu glanced at Zhu Yue next to him, and said again: "What the fortune operator said, Weichen doesn't agree with it, after all, the queen mother's vomiting and diarrhea symptoms only appeared because she ate bad things. And the subordinates have found out something else from the tea that the Queen Mother drank. β
The Queen Mother was taken aback, and vaguely felt that there was something in Imperial Doctor Liu's words.
The old lady also looked at Imperial Physician Liu in surprise.
Zhu Yue was also very surprised in her heart, what she said just now was just speculation, but Mrs. Liu suddenly said something suspicious, if it is true, no matter which one of the people involved is better than Mrs. Liu, Mrs. Liu doesn't want to live, so she dares to find something to do, saying that there is something wrong with the leaves in the tea?
Zhu Yue looked at Imperial Physician Liu's face unchanged and was in awe.
Imperial Physician Liu said firmly: "The minister found the broken intestine grass in the remaining tea, this kind of grass is a poisonous weed that can kill people, it is not just a simple symptom of vomiting and diarrhea, in fact, the queen mother is immortal." The Queen Mother, the minister has never dared to say it, but seeing that this matter implicates innocent people, she has to clarify, lest the Queen Mother fail to deal with the real murderer and let the real murderer go unpunished. The minister risked death to report to the Queen Mother, and hoped that the Queen Mother would know as soon as possible and the phoenix body would recover as soon as possible. (To be continued.) )
