Chapter 169: The Mother of the Yan Family
The victim has not yet woken up, but the consul general Shang Gong is worried about another thing, after the torture of the mother of the Criminal Law Department, the little palace maid identified the Chen county lord of the Lingnan Chen Wang family as the mastermind behind the scenes, the reason is that because she misses the little prince in her heart, she wants to kill the rival Qiu Manhua.
The two great palaces of the Criminal Law Department and the Heming Law Department were shocked, but the two who had always been at odds had an unprecedented tacit understanding at this moment, and all the grandmothers and female officials who participated in the interrogation were not allowed to say a word about this result. They immediately reported this matter to Pushang Palace, because this matter is no longer simply a harem matter, so Pushang Palace directly handed over the confession to the emperor, and even the two concubines did not see it.
If it is the jealousy of the harem women, or the internal struggle of the Shang Palace Bureau, then it can be decided by the two concubines and the Pushang Palace, but this matter involves too many people and their identities are noble, and if it is not handled properly, it will also touch the forces behind some families. Therefore, the two women of the smart harem and the female officials of the Monk Palace Bureau were silent.
Lord Zuo Xiang met with the emperor and hoped to give his daughter justice, but King Chen was not to be outdone, and resolutely denied that his daughter would do such a thing, and pointed out that the confession of the little palace maid could not be used as evidence at all, hoping that the emperor would clear the innocence of the county lord. The two patriarchs, you and I are arguing with each other.
Today's emperor Li Ji naturally knows that if this matter is not handled well, the consequences will be unimaginable, but if he doesn't deal with it, Prime Minister Qiu will not give up, and if he deals with it, what will happen to Lord Chen's face? A palace maid's confession is not enough to identify Lord Chen, but it can ruin her reputation.
The major families have many eyes and ears, and they have long known the ins and outs of the matter.
At this time, in the Jin Mansion of Anguo Gong, Jin Zixuan was listening to the report of his subordinates in the study room in his courtyard, and before the man could finish speaking, he suddenly frowned, and said coldly: "You said that Bai Zhirong has not woken up yet?" ”
The subordinate who reported was stunned for a moment, and when he saw the master's gloomy eyes, he immediately replied: "The subordinate did hear that Bai Xiuxi has not woken up yet, and the medical woman from the medical department said that she may be disabled." ”
There was a bang, and then I saw Jin Zixuan's palm slapping on the tabletop, and the expensive desk cracked through the middle and then collapsed!
The back of the person who reported was full of cold sweat, and he had never seen his feelings fluctuate so much for so many years with the master. Then he heard Jin Zixuan's voice like a cold winter: "What happened yesterday was only reported to me today, you don't want to live anymore!" ”
"Master spare your life!" The subordinates hurriedly kowtowed and explained: "The master explained that he should pay attention to the results of the poisoning incident and the movements of each family, and the subordinates thought that paying attention to the movements of the Qiu family and the Chen family, as well as King Cheng and King Ming, was the key, so they kept sending people to keep an eye on it, so they ignored the matter of Bai Xi, and the subordinates heard that the medical department Shanggong and Wei Bai's medical woman Wei Bai practiced and treated, and it would not be a big problem." ”
Jin Zixuan sneered: "Do you want to?" Do you still need to think about it? If you do something wrong, you still quibble, half the merit and half the fault, go and get it yourself! In addition, immediately find a famous doctor in the world, and be sure to detoxify her. "Before, the news of the Shanggong Bureau was airtight, he thought that Zhirong had woken up after being poisoned, but now what he was waiting for was such bad news, how could he not be angry.
Jin Ming has been watching Jin Zixuan's every qiē in his eyes, this is the first time he has seen such a master, and he can't help but sigh in his heart, Bai Zhirong is so important in the master's heart. "Master, you dissipate your anger, Ah Qi didn't mean it, the white girl will wake up."
"I'm angry with him, and I'm angry with myself." Jin Zixuan curled the corners of his mouth as if laughing at himself, and his face was painful: "I'm angry that I can't go to the Shanggong Bureau to see her, and I can't stay by the side at this time." I was angry that I didn't have enough to protect her, so I put her in danger and went to such a cannibalistic place. I thought it would be good for her to enter the palace, but I was wrong. ”
I was wrong, Jin Zixuan's words are enough to shock the entire Jin family, everyone knows that the young master of the Jin family is a figure who can't even manage the head of the family, and he is decisive, where can he say that he is wrong?
"Master!" Jin Ming felt more and more distressed, he was older than his master, and it could be said that in his heart, Jin Zixuan was a person like his younger brother. "You're right, the white girl can only control her own destiny if she is strong, she is a strong woman, and she will never want her fate to always be in the hands of others. Master, you're right! The White Girl is not wrong! ”
Jin Ming also wants to say, you are all right, the wrong thing is born in a different level of family. And people can't choose their own background, they can only fight for their future.
The master was not valued by the family in this way, if it weren't for the fact that he fought at a young age like Yanhua, and was rewarded by the emperor for his repeated meritorious services and was named a knight, how could he have today's status. And behind such feats are strategizing, resourcefulness and bravery on the battlefield, and deep and shallow scars on the body.
Jin Zixuan stopped talking but closed his eyes and pondered, and said for a while: "I want to see Wei Ting." ”
Wei Ting had returned to the Ming Law Department at this time to continue to take care of Zhirong, she was full of guilt, thinking that she had broken her oath, so she had to try her best to make amends. I don't know if King Ming has seen Yanhua now.
The little prince of Ming was worried about Zhirong's safety, so he hurriedly pretended to leave the palace at dawn, and only brought a few of his most trusted subordinates with him. I didn't go far but was stopped.
The person who stopped him was Yan Feng, "Lord Wang, my master has been waiting for you for a long time. ”
Although he was puzzled, Li You was just looking for Yan Hua, so he followed Yan Feng to see Yan Hua. They went to a very inconspicuous restaurant, with a total of two floors, and Yanhua had already covered the second floor.
"Yanhua greets King Ming!" Yan Hua smiled and clenched his fists.
Ming Xiaowang glanced at him: "Yanhua, don't come with me here, when did your little grandfather of Dingguo really worship me?" I won't be wordy with you when it's urgent, I need you to help me save people. ”
"It turns out that I have the same purpose as the prince. I just wanted to know what kind of poison she had and why she hadn't woken up yet? "Since Yan Hua knew that Zhirong was poisoned, he sent someone to find out the news like Jin Zixuan, but he didn't want Jin Zixuan, who was withdrawn, to not like to say anything, he had already explained clearly in advance that Zhirong's situation came first, and then the dynamics in the palace.
When he knew that Zhirong was unconscious, he knew that the situation was not good, and he was very anxious, but he couldn't enter the palace casually without a summons, so he had to wait for the little prince Ming to come to him.
This little prince's mind has long been seen through by him, and when he heard that Zhirong was selected for the Shang Palace Bureau a few days ago, the light and joy in his eyes were captured by him meticulously. He never underestimated every competitor, but he also always had a high level of self-confidence.
Wei Ting said that she was poisoned by southern Xinjiang, and at the worst she made people never wake up and become the living dead. Even when she woke up, she could be disabled, and now her condition is getting worse and worse. Yan Hua, do you have any Jinyi Dan in southern Xinjiang in your Yan family? As long as you have this medicine, you can save Zhirong! "Ming Xiaowang is eager to save people, and he doesn't care what Yan Hua said just now, wait for him or something like that, save people first, and talk about the rest another day.
The living dead? Handicapped? Yan Hua clenched his fists tightly, and his subordinates only reported that Zhirong was unconscious and had a high fever, but he didn't expect that this poison would make her disabled?
"The prince is waiting for me here, and I will go and ask my mother."
If you want to say that the most beautiful and quietest place in the Yan family, it must be the courtyard of the Yan family's housewife. Yan Hua hurriedly entered the door and first knocked on the stone slab next to the door three times, and then a tall stone pillar about two meters apart suddenly appeared on the grass where there was no road. He jumped lightly onto the stone pillar and walked quickly with strange steps. And the stone pillars disappeared one by one. Then it took a few more points to walk to the lake, and the maid by the lake saw him and hurriedly bowed.
He nodded, got into the boat, rowed himself to an exotic building in the middle of the lake, and when he got ashore, he quickly reached the cloister and shook the wind chimes hanging beside him. More than a dozen maids came out with swords and bowed to him: "Young master! ”
"Why did Hua'er have time to come over today?" A woman in a gorgeous white floor-length dress walked from the other end of the corridor, followed by four martial arts masters. She combed the peony bun that the standard capital ladies liked, but it was modified, slightly higher, and surrounded by pearls and emeralds, which was very smart, and a purple hosta was naturally inserted in the bun, which was beautiful, and the golden step showed her noble identity.
This is Duan Ziyan, the current head mother of the Yan family, the princess of Nanjiang Buluo, the increase in age has not affected her elegance at all, she looks like she is only in her twenties.
"Mother, my son has something to ask for, and I hope my mother will help me." Yan Hua bowed to his mother and said solemnly.
Duan Ziyan's eyelashes moved slightly, and the white peony petals in her hand sprinkled into the lake, "What's the matter?" "Her son has never begged anyone, even his parents, why is he so abnormal today.
"The son knows that his mother has a golden pill and wants to borrow it from his mother." In fact, how did he know whether Duan Ziyan had a golden pill, it was just a guess, but if he asked, the answer would definitely be no, so he simply said that he knew.
The white peony petals continued to sprinkle on the surface of the lake, but the petals were relatively broken, "Jinyi Dan is a medicine that cannot be changed, tell me what happened?" Duan Ziyan was also strange, although Yan Hua had never eaten his own pills, how did he know about his golden pill, and after thinking about it again, he understood his son's intentions but did not pierce it.
Yan Hua knew her mother's character very well, and if she lied to her, she would be asking for trouble for herself and Zhirong, so she told Zhirong's situation, and also told Zhirong that she had saved his life, "I hope that my mother will save her life, and my son will repay her for saving my life in the past." ”
"Oh? Is it just to repay the saving grace? Hua'er, what is the difference between this woman and what makes you so abnormal? With that, Duan Ziyan threw the basket containing peony petals in her hand into the lake.
This is a signal that the mother is angry, Yan Hua knelt down and said: "Mother, she is very important to me, I hope that my mother will save her, if my mother refuses, the child will go to southern Xinjiang to find it." ”
Duan Ziyan didn't speak but stared at the lake quietly, the strange atmosphere between mother and son lasted for a while, and Duan Ziyan suddenly spoke: "Take it away." But you also know my rules, you should know how to exchange, get up, I used to teach you to forget to kneel casually, I don't like it. ”
Yan Hua nodded and quickly got up: "Mother's teachings have never forgotten the son, but the son kneel down and begged his mother when he knew that the golden clothes were valuable." Thank you mother for helping me! ”
Duan Ziyan sneered: "I know that it is important and rare, and I will use it casually for others, it seems that that woman is not light in your heart, and you should have a good woman to accompany you when you are older." ”
Yan Hua's face changed slightly, and he said with a smile: "My son still wants to make another contribution, and my children's personal affairs still want to ease down for the time being." Besides, didn't my mother want me to make a difference? Unexpectedly, Zhirong's Cun Zài actually made his mother mention his marriage, which made Yanhua have another layer of worry.
Duan Ziyan turned to smile lovingly at this time: "Look at what scares you, go quickly, that girl will really become a living dead when it's too late." ”
Yan Hua hurriedly saluted, took the pill and left in a hurry.
Duan Ziyan looked at the back of him leaving by boat, raised his white and slender hand, and some powder fell into the lake with a palm of his hand, dyeing the white petals on the lake into red in an instant, and then saw that there were slowly more belly fish and shrimp on the lake, and they were all dead, and none of the fish and shrimp in the entire lake were spared.
"Princess, don't be angry, the young master is just infatuated for a while." A woman with high martial arts skills beside her looked at the various fish on the lake with regret, these fish were all raised by Duan Ziyan.
"Just now, he was afraid that I wouldn't give it, so he knelt down and begged me in such a hurry. Hua'er is going to achieve great things in the future, how can he be swayed by a little Jingtang Shanggong Bureau woman, and I have taught him for so many years. ”
"Then why did you give him the pill, that woman became a living dead, and the young master would not die? You can also have peace of mind. ”
Duan Ziyan smiled, as if she was very happy, but the cold aura around her made people dare not approach, "He never asks me, I always have to help." And according to Hua'er, if I guessed correctly, the woman's poison is only a cripple when she is rescued from the Golden Cloth Pill, and she still needs a Tianyi Pill. I want to see how deep my son's affection is, and how he will choose in the future in terms of great cause and personal affection for his children. I'm looking forward to it. ”
Soon the elixir was in the hands of King Ming, and he held the box containing the medicine in his arms like a treasure, for fear of losing it or being robbed. He looked like this, Yan Hua was very unaccustomed to it, but he asked for it.
Wei Ting was also extremely surprised when she got the pill, she didn't expect the Yan family to really have it, and she took it so happily. She hurriedly gave the medicine to Zhirong to take, and applied a needle to make the pill exert its best effect.
Zhirong woke up at noon on the second day after taking the medicine, she opened her eyes, and felt that her vision was a little blurry, and she was still vaguely still in front of the tea on the day of the exam and Qiu Manhua's sinister expression, she was still too careless.
She moved and felt a little stiff in her body, and raised her hands, her left hand could be raised freely, but her right hand did not perceive, and she tried to exert force, but she couldn't exert her strength at all, and her eyes were still blurry.
These made her feel scared, and she quickly moved her legs again and found that she could also lift them, and she breathed a sigh of relief for the time being, maybe because the medicinal properties had not completely disappeared, let Wei Ting help take a look at it in a while. R1152
