Along the way, Shu Jin told Jiang Duanyu what had just happened.

Poisoning, exploiting, framing, isn't this a typical palace fighting drama? Concubine Lan hid her pregnancy and did not report it, no one in the palace and outside the palace knew about it, but the emperor knew about it. also said what is the advice of the imperial doctor, in Shu Jin's view, either Concubine Lan was too old when she was pregnant, so the fetus was unstable, or Concubine Lan had lived in the deep palace for a long time and knew the stakes involved, and she was afraid that the child in the womb would not be protected.

Anyway, this child is gone anyway, and Qi Yuan and Concubine Lan, and even the queen and Qi Yan can use this deceased child to achieve what they want to achieve.

Shu Jin clearly heard that the chief attendant beside the emperor pointed the finger at Concubine Yun's side.

The queen was happy to see this result, and even intercepted Shu Jin to watch the play together. Because of this move, I am afraid it also disrupted the plans of Concubine Yun, Qi Yuan and others.

If it weren't for Dou Yanxiao's sudden appearance, probably the thief would have stolen Shu Jin's invitation and put the safflower essence on her, and the invitation would then appear in the Guerlain Palace. After shopping in the proposed market, someone will come to invite Shu Jin to go to the Guerlain Palace, as long as Shu Jin enters the Guerlain Palace, Concubine Lan's child suddenly has an accident, and Shu Jin will be identified as the murderer.

At that time, Qi Yuan would still say that she did not invite Shu Jin to Guerlain Palace, she was uninvited. The invitation that Shu Jin received with the names of her and Jiang Duanyu when she entered the palace fell in the Guerlain Palace, and at the same time, she also carried a bottle of safflower essence, which happened to be an elixir that invigorated blood and dispels blood stasis, and she suddenly became a suspect in the murder of the prince.

However, Shu Jin's identity is special. The granddaughter of King Yong, the wife of the prince of the Protector's Mansion, these two titles make people dare not dispose of Shu Jin easily. I'm afraid that even if the queen appears, she can't be disposed of at will. As a result, the result is bound to alarm the emperor.

When the emperor knew about it, he would naturally investigate thoroughly. Shu Jin is a foreign minister anyway, and she has no grudge against Concubine Lan of the Guerlain Palace, she entered the palace with Ping Honghua Jing for no reason just to poison the child in Concubine Lan's belly? Or when almost no one inside or outside the palace knew that Concubine Lan was pregnant?

This is too much to say, so at that time, Grandpa Hui will still be beaten. His testimony then became the key to turning things around.

Who instructed him to trick Shu Jin into coming to the Guerlain Palace?

Who has a grudge against Shu Jin and wants to kill Concubine Lan's child?

If this main messenger is Yun Guifei. Everything makes sense, and now, in people's opinion, the whole process of the turmoil in the palace is like this:

Concubine Yun knew that Concubine Lan was pregnant, and she was afraid that she and the child in her womb would threaten her status. So he started to kill. Concubine Yun first sent someone to steal Shu Jin's things. Then he sent someone to pour safflower essence into Concubine Lan's soup, and led Shu Jin to the Guerlain Palace, trying to put the charge of poisoning the prince on her.

It's a pity that Skynet is restored but not leaked, although Concubine Yun Guifei successfully killed the imperial heir, she did not succeed. First, the thief who stole Shu Jin's things was caught, and then Shu Jin was invited away by the queen, so that the murderer arranged by Concubine Yun was exposed in advance.

Maybe the queen did this just to watch the play. is still to let Shu Jin accept her love, but in Shu Jin's heart. But I'm tired of this kind of thing. In the whole thing, no matter which side she is on, she is regarded as cannon fodder or a pawn, and these harem women treat themselves or others viciously, and they are also at ease when they take advantage of others.

There will be a little upset in his heart, but for the time being, Shu Jin can't do anything, so he can only endure it. From this, Shu Jin made up his mind that there would be nothing important in the future, and he would never enter the harem!

Concubine Lan had no children, and the imperial doctor also said that she would never be able to conceive and have children in the future, so she washed her face with tears all day long, crying her liver and intestines were broken, and Qi Yuan also went to the emperor again and again to make trouble to "uphold justice and punish the murderer".

The reason why it has been repeated repeatedly is because the Zuo family protested fiercely, and the Zuo family insisted on it, if it is said that the mastermind of this incident is Yun Guifei, the evidence is still insufficient.

In the confession of the thief in the proposed market, it was said that it was Gonggong Hui who instructed him to steal things, and Gonggong Hui said that it was Concubine Yun Guifei who instructed him to poison Concubine Lan and frame the lord of Xiangtang County, but Gonggong Hui was killed with a rod on the spot because the emperor was in anger at the time, and now he has no proof of death! Concubine Yun insisted that she was wronged, and denied instructing people to commit murder.

So, such an incident of murdering the prince made a big deal, but when it came time to punish the murderer, he began to pimp, the fifteenth Shangyuan Festival was over, the sixteenth was over, and in a blink of an eye, the nineteenth was reached.

There is a saying on the nineteenth day of the first lunar month that it is "feast nine", which is the last "finale" of the entire New Year's festival. On this night, the emperor will once again have a big feast, this time in addition to the emperor and the concubines and princes and ministers of the harem, foreign envoys from outside the pilgrimage and high-ranking officials who have returned to Beijing to report on their work will be present. At the banquet on the day of the "Feast Nine", although Qi Yue and Qi Zhao were present, Concubine Yun was ordered to be grounded for three months and fined for one year because of the incident on the 15th.

There are many programs at the banquet, fireworks, singing and dancing, acrobatics, etc., after the "feast nine", foreign envoys and officials who report on their work will also resign from the capital and return to their posts or return to their posts.

Qi Yan announced Qi Yuan's wedding date at this banquet, which was scheduled for March.

It is said that this time is a bit rushed, but the envoy of Luo is very happy. Moreover, all the princesses began to prepare the dowry before they arrived, so even if they were in a hurry, some things that should actually be prepared were already ready, and the time was not rushed.

"Lord Xiangtang!"

Listening to this somewhat familiar call, Shu Jin reluctantly stopped his steps and turned to look at the visitor.

Qi Yuan is dressed very carefully today, and her complexion is also very good, which is obviously a typical portrayal of people who are in good spirits at happy events.

Seeing Shu Jin stop, Qi Yuan stepped forward and saluted, and said with a smile:

"Lord Xiangtang, Yuan'er is here to apologize to the county lord. During the Shangyuan Festival, the county lord was involved, and Yuan'er was very unhappy in her heart......"

She was about to go on, but Shu Jin stopped her as soon as she raised her hand.

Looking at Qi Yuan's somewhat puzzled eyes, Shu Jin was reluctant to be with her. Path:

"There is no need to say useless polite words, God knows what happened that day. You know it with your mother, and I know it. ”

As soon as she said this, Qi Yuan was stunned, and her face was a little unnatural. But in the end, he smiled forcefully:

"The county lord's words are so strange that Yuan'er can't understand them."

Shu Jin sneered and said:

"You don't understand? It doesn't matter if you don't understand it. Your younger brother who was not born before he was born and his father-in-law Hui, who died tragically under the stick, must understand.

You exchanged two lives for her three months of closed-door thinking and a year's salary, hehe, this deal is really cost-effective! ”

“……”

Really. After Shu Jin's words were finished, Qi Yuan's face was visibly distorted. Yes, using the two lives of the prince in Concubine Lan's belly and a loyal chamberlain is just to make Concubine Yun grounded for three months and fined for a year, Qi Yuan and Concubine Lan will grit their teeth with hatred every time they think of this.

At this moment, it was pointed out by Shu Jin. Qi Yuan's eyes turned red with anger.

"And. After the three-month ban is lifted, she is still a dignified concubine, and you, who have married someone else, don't know what the situation of Concubine Lan will be at that time. ”

Qi Yuan's face became even more ugly when she heard this, she twisted her handkerchief and was about to speak, but Shu Jin raised her hand to stop her, too lazy to listen to her nonsense and cunning words.

Shu Jin looked at her and said with a cold face:

"That's right. The enemy of my enemy is my friend, and that's why I listened to you in the first place. But Qi Yuan, you shouldn't treat me for a fool, you don't think that after the Shangyuan Festival, I'm still in the mood to listen to your nonsense, right?

If you think so, you are very wrong. I can tell you plainly that you have not only lost two lives, but you have also offended me.

I hate people taking advantage of me the most. Therefore, the things we once agreed on, no longer count, you can do it yourself. ”

After speaking, Shu Jin glanced at Qi Yuan deeply, then turned around and walked outside the palace. As he walked, he whispered:

"Hey, it's a pity, if the child is still there, and you leave, Concubine Lan may still have a talisman, but now that the child is gone, do you really think Concubine Yun and the emperor don't know what's going on? Gee! ”

The last two tsks were very sarcastic, Shu Jin walked as she spoke, and with her sensitive ears, she naturally heard Qi Yuan's increasingly heavy breathing behind her, obviously, she was very unstable when she said these words.

It's a pity that Qi Yuan can't refute it, let alone what Shu Jin can't do. As for whether she will be angry and hurt internally, is that Shu Jin in charge?

From the moment their mother and daughter planned to use themselves, they no longer had the possibility of being trusted by Shu Jin. What does it matter to her whether they live or die in the future?

However, after this incident, Shu Jin once again realized how far the Zuo family's power in the Great Performance Country had reached.

Emperor Qi Yan may not have the intention of suppressing the Zuo family through this incident, however, in the end, it was only a light punishment such as a ban and a fine, which shows that he is not ready to move the Zuo family.

The Zuo family is like a reckless monster, just like that, it is across the government and the opposition, and even the emperor does not have the certainty that he can retreat after killing it, but his own strength has to fight hard with the Zuo family, and it still seems to be a little thin.

Fortunately, there is still time.

After Concubine Lan's incident, the Zuo family will restrain a lot, and they will not make any big moves for the time being, let alone focus on dealing with themselves, after all, they have no essential conflict with them. With such a time buffer, Starfire can develop up another level.

Someday, there will be enough power in her hands. No matter how hard it is, it can be solved violently by the most brutal methods. The guys haven't missed a shot yet.

As soon as Shu Jin got out of the carriage, she heard someone report that she was looking for someone, and she was just about to ask who it was, when she heard someone shouting to her from a distance:

"County Lord! Princess! ”

The voice was somewhat familiar, and following the voice, an energetic figure was rapidly approaching her.

"Miss Dou." Shu Jin was a little surprised, but he still greeted with a smile.

Dou Yanxiao can say that Shangyuan Festival also helped herself, but she was quickly dragged away by her father, and the next day she said that she was going to come to the Huguo Mansion to find Shu Jin, but she didn't appear, Shu Jin thought that she would go back to the border with her father after today, and she wouldn't come, but she didn't expect that she would come to find herself today.

"Ahh County Lord, I'm really sorry, I missed the appointment that day, my father was too much, he actually locked me in the room, and only released me today! ”

Dou Yanxiao complained, no matter what she said was true or not, Shu Jin just smiled, said it was okay, and then led her to her red dress courtyard.

"Ahh It's not much different from the original! Dou Yanxiao said as she walked, "Ah! Here, here, I remember too! I was here when I was a kid! ”

From the place where I parked to the Red Clothes Courtyard, I could hear Dou Yanxiao's chatter all the way.

"So you live here with the son!"

When they arrived at the Red Dress Courtyard, Dou Yanxiao said.

Shu Jin invited her in, and then ordered her subordinates to come over with refreshments. The refreshments served here on weekdays in Hongshang Courtyard are all sent by Yipinge, although they are not from Shu Jin's hands, but the taste is not far away, and there are some that cannot be eaten outside, Dou Yanxiao's eyes lit up when she saw it, and she was not polite, so she simply picked it up and ate it in her mouth.

Shu Jin was not hungry at this time, but he also ate two pieces and drank some tea.

"Well, the food on the county lord's side tastes good, not only the county lord's, but also the food in Changdu is better than that of the border pass, whew! The water is also so fragrant. This is a great tea, right?

Hey, this thing has only risen in the past two years, and it's still a rarity at the border! My dad only occasionally gets a little from a friend, and the baby is like something, not a big occasion or something, I can't touch it! ”

"That's not easy to say, I'll order someone to wrap some for you later, and you can take it and drink it."

Shu Jin said generously.

"That's a good dare!"

Dou Yanxiao was not polite, and Lele agreed.

In fact, Shu Jin has always been very strange, this Dou Yanxiao did herself a favor that day, and she had a good impression of her, but it is obviously impossible to say that the two are familiar with each other and are intimate, and besides, this Dou Yanxiao looks generous, but she doesn't look like the kind of person who doesn't know the depths. Why is she so enthusiastic about herself?

To say that it is for food is still far-fetched.

However, Dou Yanxiao ate and drank and chatted, and never revealed her purpose, and Shu Jin was not in a hurry, so he accompanied her to play Tai Chi. Since she is here and finds herself, she will tell her purpose sooner or later.

Sure enough, chatting and chatting, Dou Yanxiao led the topic to the matter of Xie Wanru and Xie Qiang not long ago.

Many people know about this matter all the time, and Dou Yanxiao naturally heard about it when she returned to Changdu, and there was nothing wrong with what she said when she inquired with Shu Jin, but I don't know if she was too careful, Shu Jin always felt that she had some side meaning when she asked this.

It wasn't until Dou Yanxiao finally couldn't help but ask a question that surprised Shu Jin that Shu Jin suddenly realized this girl's idea-

Dou Yanxiao thought about it again and again, and finally asked Shu Jin:

"Then, the Protector is still so young, he must be going to continue the strings, he said that he didn't say which lady he fell into?" (To be continued.) )
