Chapter 116: Confusing

"And then? How did forgetting worries become a harmful poison? Ye Xici knew that what happened after that was the key.

Fang Xiaoyu shook his head and said, "No one knows what happened in the middle, after the farmer died, the medical book that the barefoot doctor left behind that recorded the prescription suddenly disappeared. ”

"Missing?" Ye Xi was stunned. The place where the farmer lived was a poor village, where all the people lived were simple peasants, who farmed the land every day, and could not even read a single big character, and the medical books left by the doctor should be useless to them.

"Is that the only medical book missing? Or are all the medical books gone? Ye Xici asked.

"It's strange here, what is inexplicably lost is only the medical book that records the prescription for forgetting worries. At the beginning, the villagers were illiterate, and the medical books they left behind were just some waste paper. Grateful for the farmer's affection for his wife, the villagers wanted to burn those medical books for him as a companion. However, the medical book was missing. Fang replied with a smile.

"The villagers are illiterate, and the medical books are like waste paper to them, so how can they find out that the medical books are missing?" Ye Xici sensed the problem.

Fang Xiaoyu smiled: "The problem is here. At that time, it was impossible to find out who noticed that the medical book had disappeared, but that person was literate, or he had seen the medical book and knew that the medicine made by the farmer was made by relying on the prescriptions recorded in the medical book, so he realized that the medical book was missing. ”

Then, Fang Xiaoyu paused and said: "But these are not important, the important thing is that the medical book is the ancestral experience notes of the barefoot doctor, it is rumored that the ancestor of the barefoot doctor was a generation of imperial doctors in a certain country, but later committed an accident, was degraded and exiled, and the descendants did not succeed, so he became a barefoot doctor." It's just that the medical skills of the ancestors have been well inherited by the descendants, even if they are only barefoot doctors. The world wandered, but because of this, he was cured of many incurable diseases, and he did not insult the skills of his ancestors. ”

"I know this because eight years have passed since then. The kind of medicine made by the farmer suddenly appeared in the palace of the Hayashu Kingdom, and became the poison of the harem concubines of the Hayashu Kingdom. Fang Xiaoyu's words seemed to have some kind of magic, which made Ye Xici think of a lot of things. However, things seem to be in a fog.

A qiē is related to the country of early state, but the country of early state is inextricably linked to that person. Although the man has been well hidden. However, when he investigated the murder of his mother, he still accidentally discovered this secret.

Could it be that this secret is the real reason for the murder of the concubine? And not because of the competition for favor in the backyard?

Ye Xici felt like he was in an ice cellar, he originally thought that the enemy might just be a chess piece, was there really something big involved, or was it just an accident?

He had some hope that it was the latter, so he only needed to get rid of Li Suqing and Ye Shilin. But if it's the former......

Didn't the concubine discover something that shouldn't have been discovered, so she was killed?

But no, if that's the case, after I first realized that I had been poisoned. She hasn't forgotten jì a qiē, and even if she has forgotten jì, she has had a few days to remember, why didn't she say it?

"If it is a poison that harms people, how do you know that it is modified from a medicine made by a farmer?" Ye Xici desperately wanted to confirm the truth of the matter. This matter, no matter what is involved, he must investigate it clearly. He can't let his mother die in vain.

"Because after the concubine was exposed, in addition to the poison of harming 'forgetting worries', it appeared in the concubine's dormitory together with the lost medical book. However, the concubine insisted that she was the only one who did the matter. The origin of the medical book is only vague and perfunctory. Why did the medical book move from that small village to the palace? Why it fell into the hands of a concubine, no one knows. And the concubine was beaten into the cold palace by the emperor, but things took a turn for the better at this time. Fang smiled.

"What turnaround?" Ye Xici's brows were slightly raised.

"That concubine is pregnant with the prince. The emperor of the kingdom of Hayashu was a decisive man, even if the concubine was a dragonborn. But what she did was enough to be killed a thousand times, ten thousand times. Therefore, even if the concubine was pregnant with a child, the emperor still insisted on sending the concubine to the cold palace. Even the emperor thought that a child with the vicious blood of the concubine should not be born, so on the night the concubine was sent to the cold palace, the emperor issued a decree. Knock out the child in the womb of the concubine. However, after the eunuch who sent the decree went to the cold palace, he found that the cold palace was on fire, and a charred corpse was found in the palace, which was suspected to be the body of the concubine, and the matter was closed. Fang Xiaoyu said a little dry, so he took a sip of tea.

"The concubine is dead?" Ye Xici frowned. If the concubine died, would the medical book fall into the hands of someone else?

"Nope." Fang Xiaoyu shook his head and said: "Although the emperor said to the outside world that the concubine died in an accident, but in his heart he was like a mirror, although the female corpse had been burned beyond recognition, but the imperial doctor had examined it, and the corpse was not pregnant. So he suspected that the concubine had been rescued. ”

"What kind of vicious thing did that concubine do to make the emperor of the Hayashu Kingdom even ruthlessly give up the dragonborn? Could it be that the concubine killed his favorite woman? Ye Xici couldn't understand the thoughts of the Emperor of Zaozhou.

In my impression, Hayashu is a very peaceful country, because it is small, maybe there will be no thoughts, and it has been surviving in the cracks of many big countries, and living its own small life safely.

It is said that the lord of the country with such a calm idea should be a person with a gentle temperament, but according to what Fang Xiaoyu just said, the emperor of the early state of Zaozhou was only because a concubine did something wrong, and even his own unformed child could give up ruthlessly. You know, the child has just been conceived, and he hasn't even grown up in human form, so what vicious blood can he inherit? As long as the son is left to the mother, the concubine who has made a mistake is executed, and then the child is handed over to a good-hearted person to take care of, when the child can be raised well, what reason is there to kill the child ruthlessly on the grounds that he has dirty blood? After all, that kid also has the emperor's blood on his body, doesn't he?

Could it be that the concubine stole people?

Ye Xici couldn't figure it out.

"No, the concubine is not the emperor's favorite concubine, but the queen mother." Fang Xiaoyu sneered.

"Persecuting the emperor's biological mother? What's in it for her? Ye Xici couldn't figure out what this concubine was doing now.

You said that you are in the harem, for your own fame, fortune and power, you have done your best, you have deceived yourself to eliminate dissidents, and get rid of other concubines that the emperor loves, which is not uncommon in the palace of any country, but inexplicably, why do you want to poison the emperor's mother? No matter which country. Most of them are based on filial piety. Even if you get rid of a few harem women, if the emperor favors her, he may turn a blind eye and act as if he doesn't know. can poison the Queen Mother. But who can tolerate anyone who is not mad?

Fang Xiaoyu smiled a little weirdly and said, "Things are interesting here." The queen mother was not the emperor's biological mother, she was the cousin of the emperor's biological mother, and soon after his biological mother entered the palace, her cousin also entered the palace. What happened in between. The history books of the early state are only mentioned in passing, but the only information that can be found is that the emperor's biological mother was not the queen, but she was a very favored nobleman. Just nobles. ”

"Very favored but just a nobleman?" Ye Xi's eyes narrowed.

However, she is obviously just a nobleman, but the emperor loves her very much. Keqi is also strange here, the emperor obviously loves her very much, but he will not promote his position no matter what, until she dies, she is still a nobleman. Fang Xiaoyu smiled and said, "Then." Her cousin entered the palace, first she was just a beauty, and then she was promoted to Mrs. by the emperor's favor, and her cousin was also a person with means, and it didn't take long for her to be on the same level as her, and she became a nobleman, and then she was crowned a concubine, and finally became a concubine, but the strange thing is that her cousin is obviously a concubine. At that time, there was no imperial concubine in the palace of Zaozhou State, only a puppet queen, who was very unfavored by the emperor. Just because the queen is personally chosen by the queen mother, it seems to be the queen mother's family. That's why the emperor has always tolerated her occupying the queen's position, but almost never stepped into the queen's palace. ”

"That is, in the harem. In addition to the queen's nominal status, the highest-ranking woman should be the cousin who has become a concubine, that is, the queen mother who was poisoned by that concubine? Ye Xici touched his chin, as if thinking about something.

"Yes. That cousin is already a noble concubine, the most noble woman in the harem. Unlike the empress, she was loved by the emperor, so her status was worthy of her name. However, it is such a noble concubine who can turn over her hands and rain, but she is very afraid that she is just a cousin of a nobleman. Even, even the emperor was almost obedient to her. At that time, there were many rumors in the palace, and there were too many speculations, and everyone did not understand why the emperor favored this woman so much but did not promote her position? Whether it is a minister of the Ming Dynasty or a courtier, the Queen Mother has never objected to letting this woman be promoted to a concubine. ”

Fang Xiaoyu tapped her fingers on the corner of the table and continued: "But this woman seems to be very satisfied with staying in the position of a nobleman, and until she died, she has never done anything out of the ordinary, so as recorded in the history books of the early state of Zaozhou, this nobleman's life is very interesting." But even so, the emperor abandoned the son-in-law born to the empress, and then made the son born to this noble man the crown prince until the emperor's death and accession to the throne. After the new emperor ascended the throne, he made his mother's cousin, the current concubine, the queen mother, the queen mother, and her relationship very good. ”

"But who knows how many dirty things are hidden behind the warmth and affection?" Ye Xici seemed to understand the meaning of Fang Xiaoyu's words.

"Yes, calm is often accompanied by rough waves. What happened between these two cousins at the beginning may only be drowned in the dust, and it can no longer be investigated, but the emperor is not as filial to the queen mother as he seems. I suspect that this concubine was the queen mother who conspired to kill the emperor in accordance with the emperor's wishes, and used the poison of 'forgetting worries'. The prince should know that the symptoms of the poison of forgetting worries, the queen mother just began to go crazy, and then sometimes forgot and sometimes remembered, so she was banned in the harem to find someone to take care of her for the rest of her life. Fang Xiaoyu glanced at Ye Xici deeply and said: "In other words, Princess An has been poisoned by 'forgetting worries', which is not fatal in itself. But in the end, the princess ......"

Ye Xi bit his lip in resignation, and the trace of blood that had just recovered receded again. His mind was in turmoil. When it came to the matter of his mother, he couldn't think about it.

Fang Xiaoyu could understand Ye Xici's reaction, about the death of his biological mother, no one would be safe when he heard it. So she immediately changed the topic and redirected the topic to the Hayashu National Road: "That concubine is indeed not dead, she was rescued." I originally suspected that the concubine was because of the emperor's hints, so she would attack the queen mother. Maybe the emperor promised the concubine something, so that the concubine believed it, so he made a desperate bet. But as a result, the emperor betrayed his promise. After the empress dowager was plotted, the emperor urgently needed to find a substitute for the dead ghost to bear the matter, and the concubine was the best scapegoat. On the contrary, the emperor not only used the concubine to get rid of the queen mother, but also used iron-blooded means to suppress and punish the matter, it seems that it is because of filial piety, so the outside world will never suspect that this matter is related to the emperor. ”

Fang Xiaoyu narrowed his eyes and continued: "It's just that this qiē is just my speculation, and what the truth is, except for the people involved, no one knows what is going on. ”

"However, the concubine survived, and the child in her belly was also safe and sound, not only that, but what the concubine was carrying in her womb was actually twins, or dragon and phoenix fetuses."

"That child doesn't resemble the emperor at all, but it's really the emperor's own son. Perhaps because of this, he was able to return to the country of Hayashu after he grew up, changed his name and surname, dressed in disguise, and became the favorite and most important courtier of the emperor of the state of Zaozhou. And that concubine was pregnant with twins back then, and she had a daughter......" Fang Xiaoyu looked at Ye Xici, she thought, Ye Xici should understand what she said.

"It's her." Ye Xici closed his eyes, so that people could not see the killing intent in his eyes.

"Let's not mention whether the matter of the concubine back then is related to the poisoning of Princess An. It's just that before Princess An was poisoned, there was a person who was poisoned by the same poison as Princess An. It's just that this matter is well hidden, and few people know about it. Fang Xiaoyu gradually touched some of the truths of the year.

"Who is it?" Ye Xiqi was slightly stunned, he really didn't know who the person in Fang Xiaoyu's mouth was who had been poisoned by the same poison as his mother.

Ye Xici didn't know that Fang Xiaoyu was expected. If it weren't for the memories of her owner's past life, she wouldn't know. Because of this incident, very few people know about it, and it is almost impenetrable. If she hadn't seen a third person who had been poisoned in her previous life, perhaps she wouldn't have known about this secret. (To be continued.) )
