Chenwangfu, pharmacy.
Qingyun was busy, and five or six maids were helping.
Outside the house, there were six little servants carrying large boxes up the steps, and when they saw Qiu He coming out, they hurriedly smiled and said, "Miss Qiu He, are you enough to see so much?" β
Qiu He looked at the three big boxes, nodded and smiled, "That's enough for today, but we have to continue to collect, the more the better, bring it in." β
When a few little guys heard that it was not enough, they suddenly turned a little bitter, and these three boxes almost broke their legs, who would have thought that it would not be enough.
I helped carry the boxes into the house, and saw that many maids were busy, and I was a little curious about what they were busy with.
It's just that when the big box is put down, Lu'er comes over to bomb people.
A few little guys exited the door, a little anxious, stumbled and fell out, provoking Lu'er to cover his mouth and laugh.
She crossed her hips and said coquettishly, "I'm just letting you out, don't get in the way of the house, and don't be in a hurry, right?" β
A few little girls hurriedly laughed, "Isn't this afraid that you will mistake the hands and feet of the maid sisters, so go out quickly, but ask Sister Lu'er to see the joke." β
In terms of age, they are two or three years older than Lu'er, but it's useless, although Lu'er is a second-class maid, but there is no difference between them and Qingying, the little girls call her sister an honorific title, if you boldly call Sister Lu'er, it will be a joke.
A few of the little guys laughed and turned around. Go down the stairs and leave.
Chu Bei entered the courtyard and happened to see this scene.
Lu'er and they are in the pharmacy, and Qingyun must also be in the pharmacy.
He walked towards the pharmacy. When Lu'er saw him, she hurriedly told Qingyun that Qingyun had not yet gone up the steps, and Qingyun came out.
There were many people in the room, and the movement was a little big, Chu Bei was a little surprised, "You're mixing ointment again?" β
Qingyun wiped the fine beads of sweat on her forehead with a handkerchief. smiled, "It's not a pharmaceutical ointment, after you entered the palace before." The old marquis came to the palace, and he asked me if I had any medicinal powder to make ice cubes, but now the weather is hot and humid, and ice cubes are in short supply. Your 10,000 soldiers have to pay for it themselves. There are many places to use money, so I can take the opportunity to earn a fortune. β
Seiyun's ice cubes are made with powder, which is known throughout Kyoto.
On that day, the palace moved and used so many ice cubes, and the civil and military officials all saw it, although the observation tower was on fire, which aroused sympathy. But such extravagance is too much.
The next day. Several Imperial Masters impeached Chu Bei and Qingyun.
At that time, Chu Bei was not there, and the Marquis of Zhennan did not argue for them, and only asked Sun Gonggong to bring two basins of water, one large and one small.
He stacked the two pots on top of each other and poured the powder into the large basin in front of the hundred officials.
Soon, the water in the small basin condensed into ice, and the speed was staggering.
The Marquis of Zhennan glanced at a few of the imperial historians, "That's how the ice cubes in King Chen's Mansion came from, and several adults can see it clearly, right?" β
Several Imperial Masters were shocked, if they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn't have dared to believe that it was so easy to make ice cubes?
"What is the powder that the old marquis put in the basin?" A minister asked.
Zhennanhou shook his head and said nothing.
He didn't know, but it was inconvenient to reveal it in everyone's eyes, after all, this powder was amazing.
Later, everyone learned that the medicinal powder came from Qingyun's hand.
Such a good opportunity to make money, Zhennanhou thought that Qingyun would take advantage of it, who wanted to wait for two days and there was no movement, his impatient temper really couldn't bear it, so he didn't come to the door in person.
Qingyun realized that although she had such a plan before, the observation tower was burned, which was really unexpected for her.
Coupled with Ruoyao's high fever and Concubine Ning's affairs, it is not enough for her to think about these things, where can she take care of other things.
Now Chu Bei decided to tell Emperor SΓΉ about Concubine Ning, but she breathed a sigh of relief, so she started to make ice cubes to make money.
Now that Chu Bei is back, Qingyun hurriedly asked, "You have been in the palace for so long, what can you inquire about?" β
Chu Bei nodded his head.
The cloister was not the place to talk, and the two went back to the inner room.
The emperor went to Yongning Palace, and Chu Bei has been waiting for him to come back in the imperial study, thinking that it would be soon, but he didn't expect the emperor to have dinner in Yongning Palace, and he waited and waited, and it was now.
He told Qingyun what the emperor had told him.
Qingyun was dumbfounded when she heard this, and said in a loud voice, "Even the position of the emperor's eldest son is willing to give up, and it is no wonder that the queen mother has deepened her trust in Concubine Ning." β
As the saying goes, reluctant children can't trap wolves, not to mention that the Queen Mother is not a wolf, so it's easier to deceive.
Chu Bei sat down, he poured himself tea, and said, "Father and Emperor already suspect this, but if you want to find evidence, I'm afraid it's not easy." β
Qingyun also sat down, "You didn't tell her that Concubine Ning was pregnant before she entered the palace?" β
"No," Chu Bei shook his head.
"Why don't you say it?" Qingyun was puzzled.
Chu Bei took a sip of tea before he said, "Since my father is suspicious, he will definitely investigate this matter, he will definitely find out about it, and it is more convincing and ...... than if I sue him." β
Qingyun looked at him, only to see the corners of his mouth slightly arced, and said, "The criminal department Shangshu will return to Beijing soon, and the father-in-law will find the criminal department Shangshu to help the young master of the Cheng family intercede, and the right attendant of the criminal department is very clear, so the case will be decided before the criminal department Shangshu returns to Beijing, once the case is decided, even if the criminal department Shangshu returns, it will be difficult to overturn the case." β
The Criminal Department rarely overturns the case, especially the young master of the Cheng family did kill someone, although it was a manslaughter.
But just because he killed someone because he was jealous in the Qinglou, no one would feel that it was too heavy to sentence him to death.
But Mrs. Cheng is such an only grandson, and if she can send a threatening letter to Concubine Ning, she knows her determination to keep her grandson.
Qingyun understands the meaning of Chubei.
He figured out that Mrs. GuΓ² Cheng made a big deal out of it.
As for what Concubine Chongning did, she has been hiding behind the Queen Mother for so many years, and she has used the Queen Mother as a gun for so many years, and she has not been discovered, so you know how deep her scheming is.
The emperor pinned his hopes on the county lord of Jinshu, and Chubei was not optimistic, but if Concubine Ning was pregnant before marriage, and married the emperor with the fetus in her womb, it would be a capital crime.
When the time comes, no one will be able to protect her.
Qingyun looked at Chu Bei, and she was a little worried, "What about King Ning?" β
The matter of the first prince and King Ning being replaced, after all, is just speculation, and there is no conclusive evidence, Concubine Ning's matter was exposed, and King Ning was the most injured.
At the beginning, Chubei was a concubine from the outer room, and he was spurned by people.
Evil seeds, that is, street rats, everyone shouts and beats the storage zΓ i.
There is also the lord of Ruoyao......
Although the matter was shaken out by Mrs. Cheng, she knew, especially Mrs. Cheng was now drugged by Zhao Yuan, and she couldn't even get out of bed, how could she shake things out?
Chu Bei's handsome face, a pair of phoenix eyes were incomparable, with a flickering light, "The matter is big, King Ning will definitely be implicated, but just because he is the brother of his father, and it is very likely that he is a blood brother, the father will try his best to find evidence to prove that he is the biological son of the queen mother, it is better than the father and the emperor are not in a hurry now, the father has been idle for too long, put pressure on him, in order to find out the truth of the matter faster." β
Not only can you find out the truth of the matter, but you can also be a shopkeeper without bothering, it's the best of both worlds.
But how can things go as planned?
Mrs. Cheng was drugged by the Zhao Yuan and couldn't get out of bed, so Chu Bei asked the secret guard to take her out of the Zhao Mansion, wanting Qingyun to detoxify her.
Just as I was about to take the first step, something happened.
The two secret guards who were responsible for bringing Old Madam Cheng back returned empty-handed, and also brought a heavy message.
Young Master Cheng, who was waiting for the final trial and conviction in the Criminal Department, disappeared.
It's a pity that they have already dizzy Mrs. Cheng and are about to carry it away, when they suddenly heard the envoy of Zhao and Mrs. Zhao talking while entering the house.
took away Mrs. Cheng because she expected that Young Master Cheng would be convicted of death and sentenced to death, and Mrs. Cheng would be desperate and persecute Concubine Ning again, but who would have thought that Young Master Cheng would be missing?
I don't know where Young Master Cheng is, is it necessary to take Mrs. Cheng away?
The two secret guards silently put Mrs. Cheng back on the bed, hid on the hanging beam and eavesdropped, but they didn't hear anything, and came back.
Hearing Wei Chi say that Young Master Cheng was missing, Qingyun's brows tightened.
"How could he suddenly disappear, Zhao Yuanenvoy was so anxious, it shouldn't have been him, who could it be?" She looked at Chu Bei and asked.
Chu Bei's brows were also furrowed, it was he who was careless, he didn't think that Young Master Cheng, who was staying in the prison of the Criminal Department and waiting to be executed, would be rescued.
"Go and find out, who took him," Chu Bei commanded.
Wei Chi took the order and turned to leave.
About an hour later, he came back and told Chu Beidao, "The person who took away Young Master Cheng has King Ning's token in his hand. β
"King Ning?" Qingyun's eyes widened, "Are you sure you're not mistaken?" β
Wei Chi nodded, "There is no mistake, my subordinates forced two prison guards of the Criminal Department, and there is no doubt that it is indeed the token of King Ning." β
How could it be King Ning?
He only took over the case of the night pearl yesterday, the night pearl was found in the Yasukuni Mansion, all kinds of evidence show that it was the king of Yijun who stole the night pearl, but the king of Yijun refused to admit his guilt, this morning, he was also taken to the palace by the old prince, in front of the emperor and the civil and military officials, he did not admit his guilt, and also sprayed the blood of the civil and military officials, which almost caused public outrage.
However, he has a tough attitude, it is okay to want him to die, but if he wants to carry the black pot for others, he would rather die.
The emperor didn't care, he couldn't torture King Yijun and force him to confess.
Fortunately, the Night Pearl has been found, and a reliable person must be sent to the Northern Jin Dynasty, as for who stole the Night Pearl, it must be checked again.
The emperor handed over this matter to King Ning.
On the spot, the old prince urged King Ning to find out the thief as soon as possible, and returned the innocence of King Yijun.
King Ning is busy, how can he have the heart to take care of a young master Cheng?
Qingyun did not suspect that King Ning knew about Concubine Ning, although she did not have much contact with King Ning, but with King Ning's temperament, if he knew, it would be impossible for him to be indifferent.
After thinking about it for a while, Qingyun stroked her forehead, "Ten ** is the lord of Ruoyao." β
