Chapter 219: Ask the Old Man
Looking at it carefully, I always feel a little familiar, Yuan Lingjun slowly put down the portrait and thought about it, but he still couldn't remember where he had a relationship, and he had a little impression in his head, and Chen Ju, who suddenly came in, interrupted his thoughts.
The confidant palace maid who had served Feng Shuyuan was brought.
The palace man was already wrinkled, his movements were a little sluggish and stiff when he knelt on the ground and saluted, and his shoulders trembled uncontrollably.
When asked about her case about the fire in the Tianhu Villa, the palace man's face changed drastically, his lips trembled for a long time, and he began to cry, and then he almost cried bitterly, as if he wanted to explain all the things he had done over the years.
"This kind of thing is not known to the concubine in the first place...... Shuyuan was not very sober for a period of time before her death, and sometimes she talked nonsense, because the concubine often served the sick at the bedside, so she heard some ...... The fire ruined the face of the princess of Yongguo, and she almost lost half her life, and Shuyuan was also extremely resentful of the fire in the Tianhu Villa. ”
The silk handkerchief handed by Kunjiao, she took it and wiped it, her eyes were already red and swollen, "The concubine also heard about it later, Shuyuan, she does know the real murderer behind the scenes." ”
Yuan Lingjun listened to her quietly, his chest was restless, and his breathing became a little short, "Who set the fire that day?" "Is the mastermind behind the scenes Empress Xu or Fan Jiang who has the grace of nurturing her? The truth is here.
"Shuyuan once said bluntly to the concubine, she hated Queen Xu and Mrs. Mulan the most in her life, because there was no status and **** both, and the raging jealousy made Shuyuan completely lose her mind, so she wanted to take advantage of the situation to kill, and it happened that there were also palace concubines who conspired to attack Mrs. Shuyuan, although Shuyuan knew the truth, she concealed it and did not report it, so the villa was turned into ashes overnight, and Mrs. Xiangyu died." The palace people who are not young cry into tears, because they are out of breath, they are almost aggrieved, "The so-called heavenly fire is just Tao Jieyu's fierce fire, but the real culprit behind the scenes is His Majesty's adoptive mother." ”
Although he had already guessed, Yuan Lingjun still found it difficult to accept, "What benefit can she get from killing Mrs. Mulan?" In her impression, Fan Jiang has never been a woman who will be trapped by emotions, her heart is as hard as a rock.
Then the later things roughly started from this fire, her biological mother Feng Shuyuan took this opportunity to help Queen Xu get rid of Tao Jieyu, but Yang Zhai recognized the thief as her mother, listened to Queen Xu, and believed that everything was caused by Feng Shuyuan, after Feng Shuyuan fell ill, Yang Zhai transferred all her resentment to her, embarrassed her everywhere, and attacked her everywhere.
Yuan Lingjun struggled to support his body, and his face was so pale that it was transparent and terrifying.
If the grievances of the previous generation must be interpreted in the next generation, she would rather nip hope in the bud, and it is not all bad to cut the grass and eradicate the roots.
"Then the truth will be revealed, Concubine Fan Guifei instructed Tao Jieyu to set fire to Mrs. Mulan, a war between women in the court, sad and pitiful."
"What about my mother-Feng Shuyuan, who ignores human life and watches the fire from the other side...... What else did she say to you on her deathbed? Yuan Lingjun clenched his fists weakly, "Although the past ten years have disappeared, I still want to know why she must kill me." ”
This is something she can't let go of so far, and now her mother's most trusted palace person is here, so she might as well ask for an understanding.
"--Your Majesty! This...... Where does this begin? Hearing this, the old palace people were shocked, fell to the ground, and trembled in the wind, "It's just that Shuyuan is sick and confused, and she is talking nonsense, how can Your Majesty take it seriously." ”
Yuan Lingjun sneered, "Although I haven't been with my mother for a long time, I also understand that she has a reason for what she says and does, and she never touches her hands in vain." The deceased is gone, Yu Zhong is private, you should also know the current affairs when you come to Lin'an, and you don't have to hide it for the old master. ”
The palace people wept, choked for a long time, and gradually calmed down their excited hearts, "Shuyuan cared less about His Majesty, at first because His Majesty was not the prince's body, Shuyuan had no possibility of turning over, and later, the princes in the palace died early one after another, and the Emperor Taishang intended to set up the princess as the prince, and the Emperor Taishang valued the princess of Yongguo, and often took it with him, Shuyuan was in a good mood, and she figured it out, and she cared more about Your Majesty, but unfortunately it didn't take long for Shuyuan to be like crazy, as if she was ...... It was the jade deer worn by His Majesty, although Shuyuan never said it, the concubine also saw one or two, and Shuyuan already had murderous intent at that moment. She said with her sleeves covered her mouth, and it felt extremely easy to tell the secrets that had been hidden in her heart for decades.
Yuan Lingjun gasped heavily, and took out the white jade deer with the red rope from his neck, "Look at it, is it this jade deer?" ”
The palace people raised their heads and looked very carefully, "The concubine was originally the palace maid next to Shuyuan, and she won't forget it after seeing it." It's this jade deer, yes, the antlers have been broken. ”
Yuan Lingjun was so shocked that he almost let go. She was right, this jade deer has been seen by countless people so far, but no one has seen that the antlers have been broken, even Kunjiao doesn't know.
If it is too far-fetched to say that the mother is murderous just because of a jade ornament, I am afraid that there is an ulterior secret hidden in it.
She grabbed the placket of her clothes, her heart was so tight that it hurt, and her lower abdomen was also uncomfortable, she calmly instructed Kunjiao, "Let Wang Beihua check all the jade records, be fast." ”
The messenger returned to the palace to deliver a message, and Yuan Lingjun was unable to drive because of the sudden abdominal pain, and waited for the news in the Tingwei Mansion.
"There is already a witness, and there is a confession from Tao Jieyu's old palace, and the murderer has no way to quibble. Your Majesty concealed this matter, but because of your concubine? Lu Yaoxue accompanied her to the pond to relax, and the two leaned on the trunk to watch the red carp swimming in the lake.
Yuan Lingjun pressed a fan against his chin, and his lips hooked a trace of arc, "The mother-daughter relationship is gone, how can I take care of this, the reason why I did this is because I have my own plans." ”
Lu Yaoxue couldn't see through her thoughts, and she didn't bother to guess, the two stood quietly for a while, Kunjiao came over to pray, and Princess Tongqing asked for Her Majesty to see her with her horse.
It turned out that Princess Tongqing entered Beijing with her husband.
Princess Tongqing married three years ago, Cui Han came from Qinghe Cui's family, after getting married, the husband and wife went to the county to take office, the days were happy and happy, the husband and wife were deeply in love, and now there is a daughter under the knees.
Zhilan Yushu's Cui Men, generations to the high self-pride, when the official did not want to be with the party, and gradually was squeezed out by the powerful and famous people in the court, it was difficult to stand in the temple, so he had to retire to the world, and then the clansmen were not very good to be officials, to this day, only Cui Han and his son accepted the imperial court and served as a county official.
The Qinghe Cui family motto is very strict, and it will never allow future generations to interact too much with people with bad morals, and humiliate the reputation of the century-old clan. Emperor Taishang was able to take a fancy to the Cui family and also appreciated the strict family style, and insisted on descending Tongqing to the Cui family's son.
This time, the imperial court promoted Cui Han, and the couple will be in Beijing for a long time to come. (To be continued.) )
