198 Big Brother
Mama Chen returned to the inner house and told the matter, and Princess Li's face suddenly turned bad, and she ordered: "Go and check the movements of Concubine Liu these days, all the maids and women who have been in and out of Biyun Courtyard should check clearly, and see who is related to this matter, once it is found, there is no need to report it, and it is directly sent to Jingzhao Mansion, and it will be punished as much as it should be punished!" ”
Mama Chen responded, but heard the maid's voice outside, "The prince is here." ”
Princess Li suddenly raised her eyebrows, raised her hand and pulled the quilt above her head, her voice raised slightly, and said: "Mama go, this princess has a headache and wants to sleep, don't let anyone disturb me, and I don't want to deal with anyone!" ”
What she said was clearly said by Prince Chongli, Prince Li had already entered the inner room, and when he heard this, his steps froze, and he raised his hand and touched his nose, looking a little embarrassed.
Mama Chen glanced at Prince Li who came in, sighed helplessly, and blessed herself and said: "The slave has seen the prince, the princess has rested, and the prince ...... it."
Prince Li said: "You step back first, since the princess has rested, this king will also rest for a while." He stretched as he spoke, and said, "A handful of old bones, and I was tired from the last dynasty and didn't have enough energy." ”
Mama Chen, "......"
Lord Wang, are you really not blushing if you pretend not to hear it so obviously?
Prince Li really didn't blush, and when he saw Mama Chen standing still, he waved his hand and said, "Stand down, this king doesn't have to wait." ”
Mama Chen couldn't help but look at Prince Li, and Princess Li really couldn't pretend anymore, so she sat up all of a sudden, and said, "The prince has also heard about the affairs in the house, what does the prince think?" ”
Today, Prince Li and Princess Li held a flower viewing banquet, although Prince Li didn't care much on the surface, but the two sisters-in-law chose daughters-in-law, how could he not pay much attention. Although the person was not in the palace, he did pay attention to the situation of the flower feast.
After hearing about these things, where can I not hurry back. Hearing this at this moment, he hurriedly raised his voice and said: "The views of this king and the princess are naturally the same, check!" It must be found out, if it is really someone in the palace who harbors evil intentions, deliberately stirs up the flower feast, and does not want my palace to choose a daughter-in-law, this is a major matter that hinders the reproduction of children in my palace, and it must not be spared! Of course, if people outside the house make their own opinions, then we can't wronged people, right? ”
What he had said before him was conclusive, but then his tone suddenly changed. This clearly means that if the evidence is found, it is indeed instructed by Concubine Liu, and it will be severely punished, but if the evidence cannot be found, Princess Li will not be allowed to dispose of Concubine Liu without a license.
But this matter is clearly related to Concubine Liu, and Prince Li can be regarded as a woman who favors himself.
When Princess Li heard this, her face was cold, even if she didn't have any hope in her heart, she still felt that she had been smashed with a fist.
Sure enough, that woman is the biological mother of Prince Li's two children, and she followed Prince Li at a young age, and now she has been a pillow person for 20 years, there is no evidence, Prince Li always does not believe that it is a femme fatale who is pampered, and he will not treat that woman like this.
Princess Li sneered and said, "This princess has always been with her well water and does not interfere with river water, this princess does not look for her bad luck, but she stretched out her hands to my two sons!" The prince said lightly, but Aunt Gu died of the sister-in-law who depended on each other, and there was only such a sister-in-law, the prince didn't want to think about it, did the girl go there? There is such a woman beside Ah Yu on the left and right, it doesn't matter if the prince favors Concubine Liu, it chills Ah Yu's heart, and it is no wonder that the concubine did not remind the prince. ”
Seeing that the princess was excited, Prince Li hurriedly smiled and stroked her back, and said: "Look, this king didn't say anything, why is he so angry, if it is really found to be related to the Liu family, this king will not be the first to spare her." But tell me for yourself, if you don't have real evidence and let the king punish her severely, how can the third and fifth children not be resentful at that time? Brothers, how can they not give birth to trouble? ”
Prince Li didn't want to listen to what Prince Li said at all, so she just lay down and said, "The concubine is tired, the prince is free to do so." ”
Seeing her like this, Prince Li sighed, patted Princess Li's arm, got up and went to Biyun Courtyard.
When he arrived, Mama Chen had already been interrogated, and there was no evidence, and no one confessed that she had been instructed by Concubine Liu. Concubine Liu is still grounded, and there are only two people who deliver meals who contact her outside every day, so this matter is not difficult to investigate.
Mama Chen couldn't find out the real evidence, so she was unwilling and was tortured, but the two people who delivered the meal didn't say anything useful.
After Prince Li arrived, he interrogated for a while, but still found nothing, so Mama Chen had to leave Biyun Courtyard.
Prince Li poured into Biyun Courtyard, Concubine Liu was wearing a half-worn green coat, no fat powder, and rushed out with a haggard face, knelt straight on the ground and hugged Prince Li's legs, crying and begging: "Prince, please save the concubine's brother, the concubine is such a younger brother, if something happens to him, what face does the prince let the concubine have to face his mother's family?" The concubine has no face to live anymore. ”
Prince Li kicked Concubine Liu away, his eyes narrowed slightly, and said, "So, do you think you hurt Liu Er, and you instructed him to set fire to Gu Zhai?" ”
Concubine Liu's eyes widened, tears rolled down her head, and a piece of her forehead had been broken, she cried: "The concubine is not, since the concubine was punished and grounded by the prince, she eats fasting and recites Buddha in the courtyard every day, praying for the prince and her sister, and repenting of her mistakes. What's more, the concubine is just such a younger brother, how could the concubine let him do such a dangerous thing, how could the concubine harm him! ”
Concubine Liu's reaction was very real and natural, and she turned pale and said: "Don't hide it from the prince, the eldest sister is like a mother, and the concubine body can be regarded as knowing her younger brother, he is not a person who can do big things, even if the concubine body really wants to do such a thing, shouldn't she find someone who has nothing to do with the concubine body?" Why put your brother in danger, if something really goes wrong, you can't get rid of it. ”
Prince Li's face softened a little when he heard this, not because he believed in Concubine Liu, but because of his understanding of Concubine Liu, his concubine was really not that stupid.
"So, you don't know it at all?"
Concubine Liu nodded again and again, choked up and crawled to Prince Li's side, and said: "Lord, please, you save my brother, he must have acted impulsively, he didn't have the courage to kill, the wife of the Gu family died, it must not be his intention." ”
Concubine Liu couldn't stop crying, but Prince Li said coldly: "Liu Er's arson and injury have been handed over to Jingzhao Mansion, as for how to judge, this king is not good to interfere, if your brother is really wronged, Jingzhao Mansion will not do anything to him." As for you, keep grounded. Don't mess around with things outside, and don't make trouble for this king again! ”
Prince Li's words just don't care about the life or death of her mother's brother!
If her younger brother is really dead, she and her mother's family will be like turning against each other, and when she is in the palace, won't she be like having her hands and feet chopped off, what is the difference between her and ordinary concubines, no, even ordinary concubines are not comparable.
Concubine Liu was unwilling to hold Prince Li's leg and didn't let go, but was kicked away by Prince Li impatiently again, this time it was obviously kicked to the point, Concubine Liu couldn't get up for half a day, and when she was easy to look at it with tears in her eyes, she only saw the back of Prince Li's indifferent departure, Concubine Liu bit her lip stubbornly, and her eyes were full of resentment.
Originally, the fire in Gu's house was not a big deal, even if it burned people, but because it was associated with Prince Li's Mansion, it was not a trivial matter.
Because Qin Yu handed over the words, Lord Jingzhao Yin Jiang immediately locked up Liu Guogang, the younger brother of Concubine Liu, after Liu Guogang finished ordering the little girl, he actually entered the restaurant to eat and drink, and when he was caught in Jingzhao Mansion, he was drunk, asked what to answer, and confessed to the arson.
Lord Jiang sentenced him on the spot in accordance with the law, because Zhuang Yuexian was a family member of a criminal minister, although he was pardoned, but among the common people, he was innocent, according to the law of Daqin, although Liu Guogang caused a life, but only sentenced to exile.
It's just that no one wants to, that night Liu Guogang was in prison, because of a conflict with other prisoners, he was punched in the head by one of the prisoners, and he died like that!
The next day, the news reached Biyun Courtyard, and Concubine Liu fainted as soon as she rolled her eyes.
The court was even more unstable, and many of them impeached Prince Li's Qi family for not repairing the folds, and Prince Li and Qin Yu's father and son were accused of spoiling their concubines and killing their wives at the same time, and there was a lot of trouble.
In the Zhenhai Palace, the county lord of Yunyao was not restless day and night, and her plan was seamless.
Taking advantage of the grounding of Concubine Liu in Prince Li's mansion, she successfully provoked Liu Guogang a few words and provided the idea of arson, and Liu Guogang, the idiot, was really used as a gunman by her without noticing.
She didn't even have to let her people show her face, she had already achieved her goal. At the flower-viewing banquet, she even pulled Concubine Liu's cousin and niece Zheng San as a shield, and for this reason, she deliberately said that she leaked her mouth, just because she was afraid that if something went wrong, she would be suspected of being on the head.
Compared with her, who has never had obvious love for Qin Yubiao, and is still married, Concubine Liu and Princess Li are more filthy and have more interests involved. Prince and Princess Li didn't make sense at all, and let go of Concubine Liu, but suspected her.
Even God is helping her, at the flower viewing banquet, Gu Qingwan's maid just entered the garden, and she actually bumped into Miss Jiao San, who was on fire in her heart, and was stopped, which happened to make a big fuss.
Originally, everything was going on perfectly, but who knew that Liu Guogang didn't know what was crazy and what went wrong, and he actually burned Zhuang Yuexian to death directly!
As soon as the matter was big, it would be troublesome, especially even the Jingzhao Mansion was alarmed, and the county lord of Yunyao was a little worried, and he was afraid that his instigation of Liu Guogang would be discovered, so he tossed and turned all night, but the next morning, he actually heard the news that Liu Guogang died in prison.
Lord Yun Yao was stunned for a moment, then picked his lips and chuckled, now it's okay. There is no proof of death, this black cauldron, Liu Guogang is determined.
In the Snow Courtyard Courtyard, Qin Yu didn't have the time to pay attention to the impeachment of the imperial historians in the court, just because it had been a day and a night, Gu Qingwan had no sign of waking up at all, she seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep, no matter how she called it, she couldn't wake up, but the imperial doctor had seen it, and she couldn't say why.
Qin Yu was in a hurry, as the sun in the sky rose high little by little, it was noon of another day, and he was already extremely irritable.
Princess Li was also shocked, she personally went to Xuejing Courtyard to visit the patient, and when she entered the house, she saw Qin Yu sitting on the edge of the bed, holding Gu Qingwan's hand with one hand, and staring at the person on the bed silently.
The sunlight spilled into the room and shone on his body, which was obviously a very sunny and warm picture, but it couldn't melt the ice-like coldness on Qin Yu's body, and how his back looked so violent and gloomy.
His face sank like water, and a layer of green stubble appeared on his chin, although he was not very haggard, but people couldn't help but be frightened, and couldn't help but think about what might happen to him if the person in the bed couldn't wake up, and that possibility, Prince Li didn't dare to think about it a little inexplicably.
Prince Li and Princess Li paused, and couldn't help but feel a beat in her heart, but she didn't have the heart to explore more when she thought of the troubles of the past two days, and she got rid of the uneasiness and weirdness that arose at that moment, she walked into the room and said, "What did the imperial doctor say?" ”
When Qin Yu heard the voice of Prince Li, he let go of Gu Qingwan's hand as if he had been awakened, stood up, and bowed slightly, "The imperial doctor can't see what the problem is, only that she may not want to face the reality, so she refuses to wake up." ”
These words immediately reminded Prince Li that Gu Qingwan had no family left, and she felt more and more guilty in her heart, and said: "Two days ago, the mother concubine remembered that you mentioned that Master Lonely Sky said that he fell in love with Qingwan and wanted to teach her medical skills. If the concubine asks someone to prepare a carriage, you can take her to show the Master of the Silent Sky. Again, the Great Power Temple is quiet and close to the Buddha, and she can forget her worries when she wakes up. ”
Qin Yu was in a hurry for the past two days, and when he heard this, his eyes were like a strange starlight being ignited, and he said: "What the mother concubine said is right, my son will take her to the Great Power Temple!" ”
Half an hour later, the carriage of Prince Li's Mansion galloped out of the city from the East City Gate and rushed all the way to the direction of the Great Power Temple.
A middle-aged man who led a horse and dressed as a merchant watched the carriage from afar, turned over on the horse, and after visiting two spice shops, he quietly entered the Sun Ji Inn again, and left through the back door for a while.
After two pillars of incense, this man entered a teahouse again, but instead of going to the teahouse, he was led into the backyard.
The shopkeeper brought it into the backyard and said, "Childe is inside, you can go in by yourself." I'm going to say hello ahead. ”
The merchant waved his hand, bypassed the shadow wall, and passed through a quiet courtyard to the second courtyard. In the courtyard, a woman wearing a long gown with a true purple cloud brocade ruyi pattern, a white scattered flower ruyi cloud smoke skirt, sideburns like mist, and a white magnolia jade hairpin is standing sideways under the porch and holding a pair of scissors to trim the bonsai.
It's just that she was obviously a little absent-minded, and her eyes didn't fall on the bonsai at all, but she stared at the man sitting in the recliner under the tree not far away from time to time in a trance.
The man was dressed in a half-worn gray round-necked brocade robe, dark silk trousers, and had no other decorations, only lying there quietly, but there was a noble and calm and refined air, and his appearance was delicate and handsome, even though the left side of his face was covered with a terrible burn scar from his forehead to his cheekbones, but it did not affect the calm and gentleness of his body.
His eyes are staring at the paper in his hand with concentration, under the long eyelashes, the eye waves are quiet, like the deep lake with microwaves rippling under the spring sun, and the thumb holding the paper wears an emerald green wrench, and the slender hands that reflect are more elegant, like a scholar, but not like a person who practices martial arts.
This man and woman both have outstanding temperaments, and they don't look like people who will appear behind this humble shop, just like a jewel among the tiles and stones, although there is some disobedience, but it illuminates the somewhat dilapidated courtyard.
The man dressed as a merchant who came in turned slightly red-eyed, but the man who was looking at things on the recliner was the first to raise his head and nodded: "Uncle Zhu is here, sit down and talk." ”
Zhu Bo suddenly came back to his senses, but first knelt down to Zhuang Yuexian, who was standing there, and wept: "Princess! ”
His voice was sharper than that of ordinary people, and he was clearly a eunuch.
The woman who fiddled with the bonsai was Gu Qingwan's sister-in-law Zhuang Yuexian, who thought she had been buried in the fire, and the man who was half leaning on the recliner to read things was naturally Gu Xianzhen.
Zhuang Yuexian looked at Gonggong Zhu when she heard the voice, and her eyes were suddenly slightly red, she hurriedly put down the scissors in her hand, went around the patio, helped him weakly, and said, "Uncle Zhu, please get up." ”
Father-in-law Zhu was the palace man who married into the Gu family when Zhuang Yuexian got married, and he was the confidant eunuch of Zhuang Yuexian's mother, and he always followed Zhuang Yuexian.
Later, the Gu Mansion collapsed, and some of the Gu family's descendants were exiled, and some were bought and sold again, and Gonggong Zhu was the part that was exiled.
Obviously, Gu Xianzhen has done a lot of things after escaping these days, at least some of the Gu family's absolutely loyal subordinates like Gonggong Zhu were quietly collected by him.
Gonggong Zhu stood up, and Zhuang Yuexian asked a little impatiently: "The husband said that he asked Uncle Zhu to investigate the situation of the late sister, how is the late sister?" Don't be scared. ”
Gonggong Zhu wiped his slightly red eyes, and then said: "The situation of the eldest girl is indeed not very good, she fainted on the spot in the Gu Mansion yesterday, and she has not been able to wake up until now. ”
Zhuang Yuexian suddenly looked worried, and exclaimed, "You haven't been able to wake up yet?" ”
She said that, turned around and glared at Gu Xianzhen with disgust.
Yesterday, when she suddenly saw her husband who had been separated for a year in the fire, Zhuang Yuexian thought that she was hallucinating, but then she touched his real person, and she fainted under excitement.
It's good now, even the younger sister was scared, this person is really, and he won't say hello gently when he comes back, but he will scare them one by one, and even the joy is a little trance unreal.
Receiving his wife's annoyed gaze, Gu Xianzhen's eyes shone slightly, and he stared at Zhuang Yuexian for a moment. Although his gaze stayed for a short time, it was unusually focused, and the darkness seemed to precipitate deep emotions.
Zhuang Yuexian's face turned red suddenly, last night, the husband and wife reunited after a long absence, all kinds of flashes flashed in front of her eyes, for a while, it was like returning to the girl, the scene of seeing him for the first time, her heart was beating irrepressibly, and her cheeks were red.
Gu Xianzhen's gaze swept over, and the bottom of his eyes was slightly dyed with some rippling waves, and when it fell on Gonggong Zhu, only a piece of warmth remained, and said, "Went to the Great Power Temple?" Looking for the Master of the Void? ”
Between the words, there were two expressions of worry on his handsome face.
His sister's health has always been bad, he inquired that this year, his sister has been tempered, but her body has been a blessing in disguise, and she has improved a lot, and on the day she came to the capital, she found that someone in Gu Mansion had probed her brain, and she had no time to make a thorough deployment, so she informed Zhuang Yuexian and Gu Qingwan, and then thought that Gu Qingwan's body was not bad now, so she was relieved to bring Zhuang Yuexian over first.
Unexpectedly, my sister seemed to be very well, but her body was so bad that she would be unconscious.
However, Master Lonely Sky has superb medical skills, and Qin Yu took her to the Great Power Temple, so it must be fine.
"It should be to seek medical treatment from Master Lonely Sky, do you want the old slave to make some arrangements, and the uncle will try to meet the eldest girl first?" Zhu Gong said publicly.
In the past two days, some arrangements have been made in the capital. It is not appropriate for people to know about Gu Xianzhen's return, it is impossible to take Gu Qingwan from Qin Yu's hands, but it is possible to arrange for Gu Xianzhen to see Gu Qingwan if he puts more effort into it.
