- But he will not completely forget the details of this matter, and now, because of Ye Zhengming's "depression that is difficult to dispel", he naturally turned over the information stored in his mind.

Liao Shi doesn't care about fame and fortune, except for refining medicine, he has no other hobbies. And because of the supreme medicine he possessed, he casually set out to treat a rich man, and the money he mixed was enough for him to spend a year. He doesn't have to work every day to make a living, so he has little trace all the year round, rarely appears in crowded places, almost does not deal with people, and lives in the world.

Such a person would make a friend who is not close to him, because of what is so depressed that he growls and loses his manners?

Counting up, in the scope of his own understanding, the biggest grievance Liao Shi suffered in his life was more than ten years ago, when he was unjustly imprisoned in the prison for several years. But if you have to find someone to be responsible for this matter, it should be Yan Guang, who was the introducer at that time and invited him to enter the palace to treat the former queen mother.

In fact, after this incident, Liao Shi did not have much contact with Yan Guang anymore. Back then, the two of them jumped out of the boundaries of officialdom, and their personal relationships in the medical world seemed to have been destroyed a lot by this disaster, otherwise Concubine De would not have decisively given up Yan Guang's network route from the beginning in the matter of looking for Liao Shi.

……

Thinking about this matter in his mind, he came to a swamp of all kinds of entanglements, which made the topic of conversation between Wang Hong and his younger brother at the beginning disconnected from the follow-up without warning.

It wasn't until he heard his brother call a few times that he came back to his senses.

"Second brother, second brother, what are you pondering? Still worrying about Uncle Ye?"

Wang Hong retracted his attention slightly, raised his eyes, and saw his younger brother Wang Zhe's eyes full of concern, looked at him and said, "Don't think about it anymore. Not to mention that I don't believe you will do anything to be angry with him, but I have a suspicion that he said something that made you angry. But no matter what, don't be angry with yourself, it's impossible for our Wang family and the Ye family to hold grudges. This is the only special treatment for our royal family."

Wang Hong's eyes moved. Suddenly, he said, "Foreigner? Have you forgotten that the Ye family also has a Ye Ziqing?"

Ye Ziqing is in Wang Hong's heart. has a special status, and when he was a child, he experienced a trace of maternal care in the villa where she lived. After many years. Wang Hong originally thought that this special feeling had been precipitated in his heart, although he would not forget it, but it would not be so easy to be excited and impetuous just because he mentioned her in a sentence.

But at this time. Hearing his younger brother say the word "foreigner", he didn't know what was wrong. I don't agree with it from the bottom of my heart, and I desperately want to argue.

What's more, this excitement is not all due to his personal feelings. Ye Ziqing is justified and has complete etiquette, and was canonized as a virtuous concubine. Therefore, it also belongs to the stepmother of all royal heirs. Although in order to do the canonization, the officials of the Ministry of Rites made some written embellishments on her life experience, but she is a member of the Ye family after all. This is a fact that cannot be erased.

In this way, Ye Zhengming also belongs to the imperial family. How can you name it "Waijia"?

……

In Wang Hong's mind, the impression of Ye Ziqing was still fixed ten years ago.

The young woman with a slight bulge in her lower abdomen always likes to walk slowly around in the quiet garden, occasionally stopping in front of the wild apricot tree in the corner of the courtyard, raising her hand to hold an apricot branch that is only bare and gray in winter, staring at the slight protrusion of the branches, her eyes are full of expectation, as if she has seen the bright branches in the beginning of spring.

Living in Besso, she cares a lot about food, and although she doesn't eat much at every meal, she must have a lot of variety. He was blessed for a few months. In addition, during pregnancy, she rarely has certain habits that other pregnant women often have.

……

The time when Ye Ziqing was canonized as a virtuous concubine is very close to the time when Xiao Wanting was canonized as a concubine, and both of them have also had the experience of taking care of Wang Hong for a period of time. But ten years ago, Wang Hong had vaguely ranked these two people in his heart.

Although Concubine Xian could not continue to take care of Wang Hong because she had to give birth, she moved him to Concubine De, but during the days when Concubine De's Xiaohuai Palace lived, Wang Hong often missed Concubine Xian. It's just that I don't know what accident happened later, and her people said that it was gone.

At that time, Wang Hong was only about four or five years old, and he had no other feelings except for being sad for a while.

However, he lived in Concubine Xian's villa for about half a year, and after that, nearly ten years later, it was unforgettable.

Even in the later years, Concubine De never stopped taking care of him, but the dependence he had on Concubine Xian when he was a child was not diluted by Concubine De by accumulating time.

What's more, he is no longer the child he was back then.

Although he was physically weak since he was a child, it did not weaken his mental power. In recent years, from inadvertently hearing about it to intentionally inquiring, the information he has been able to grasp about the sudden death of Concubine Ye Ziqing has been able to grasp even if it is not all the things of the year, but the tip of the iceberg has seen the strange atmosphere of unsolved mysteries.

Among the fragments of information, there is a key element that surprised Wang Hong the most, and he couldn't skip this matter in his heart: the daughter born to Concubine Xian is still alive.

This is his sister.

When Concubine Xian was pregnant, the imperial doctor, palace maid, and midwife who had contact with her...... It can always make Wang Hong find one or two old people.

Judging from the time, Concubine Xian's daughter is the baby that Mr. Lin took out of the palace ten years ago. At first glance, there seem to be some obscure and unspeakable problems in this matter, but Wang Hong was lucky enough to find a personal servant with him when Concubine Xian was not out of the pavilion, so he knew that Mr. Lin took Concubine Xian's daughter out of the palace back then. [,！ It's not because of a bad thing.

Concubine Xian gave birth, but the ending was that two of the three lives of one corpse had been lost, and after several imperial doctors consulted, a terrible truth was obtained.

In the context of the crisis where the real murderer is unknown, but the means of murder are extremely intriguing, the father does not want to take the daughter left by the concubine in exchange for his life to take risks, and after consulting with Mr. Lin, he made him leave Kyoto with the baby girl, and sent people to chase and kill him all the way, causing his fake death.

And the root cause of the ultimate disaster, in the palace that is heavily guarded, but the internal hearts are inevitably complicated, who will be the real culprit who can use slow poison to eclipse the constitution of the virtuous concubine?

Wang Hong has a hobby of reading, because he has never had the luxury of wanting the matter of establishing a prince to fall on him. Therefore, most of the reading is biased towards the government and politics. And the emperor saw that he was weak and did not give him an excessively heavy study task. This allowed him to have a relatively free reading space and obtain some scattered records of the secrets of the court of the previous dynasty.

The cause is jealousy, and the fruit falls to killing, which is really a palace killing!

It's just two simple words, with an incomparably empty reason, one thought to kill a person.

Wang Hong couldn't believe it. If a woman's jealousy continues, it can eventually lead to such a terrible sin.

However, this is the case in this dynasty. It doesn't seem to have been born yet.

Wang Hong once tried to think that maybe because of his father's background, he was not born with a royal identity, so he didn't have so many concubines who married with interests and shared the same bed and different dreams. In addition, the extraordinary unity within the Wang family, his father was interested in the six women he owned who officially married into the door. They all have true feelings, the rain and dew are evenly wet, and these women are also very harmonious with each other.

But is that really the case?

In some records of the previous dynasty. Regarding the palace killing, but it is bloody in more than one place.

As a son of man, he is a father to his father's affairs. How much can you really know?

Regardless of the factors, just talking about the "palace killing", the target was the virtuous concubine who was pregnant and waiting to give birth, who was the most likely murderer to be hostile to her and kill people back then?

A few years ago, when the second prince Wang Hong came into contact with the servant of the Ye family and knew these information, before the concubine Xian was crowned, several concubines who were awarded the title one after another were now mostly gone. Wang Hong can only recall their former images from memory, but he can't find any doubts.

At that time, Concubine Xian lived in another garden, and she had less contact with other concubines, and Wang Hong often went to that courtyard when he was a child, and he was still more impressed by this.

And the key cause of Concubine Xian's death is that she is unaware of the slow poison in her body. But in those days, Wang Hong often ate with her, and did not mention slow poison, that is, if he had a slight symptom of infection with wind and cold, he would summon several imperial doctors for diagnosis and treatment, why didn't the imperial doctor notice it at all?

can only explain one problem, Concubine Xian was harmed only after she left the garden in the last few months of childbirth.

What a cunning murderer!

In the huge palace, there were actually not a few concubines, Wang Hong quickly looked away from this angle and turned to another area.

After the father carried out a special "cleaning" work on the harem, most of the palace people left behind in the previous dynasty were sent home and allowed to rent land for farming. But not all the dismissed palace people are willing to go home to farm, and some palace people who have been accustomed to palace life, who have been operating for many years without telling their masters, have established their own small privileges in the deep palace, and going home is equivalent to nothing.

In such a group, there may be people who are dissatisfied with the severance order and have a bad heart to harm the Lord.

Most of the people in this group have been in the palace for a long time, and if they want to play a set of palace killing techniques, their distorted wisdom dares to make the audience smack their tongues.

Father may also be thinking about this problem, in order to protect his family who has no experience in living in the deep palace, he took this action, and most of the people who were "cleaned" and dismissed from the palace were such experienced old slippers in the palace, but it was inevitable that they still had people in the palace and borrowed the hands of others to retaliate.

Originally, the second prince Wang Hong's skeptical perspective would have turned, but after repeatedly pondering what the old servant of the Ye family had said, a time-related memory fragment suddenly flashed in his mind, making him turn his gaze back to the original direction of suspicion.

He didn't want to put the object of suspicion on his stepmother, Concubine De, who had taken care of him for many years, but no one could clear his memory, so no one could stop him from pondering in that direction.

I still remember that year, after leaving Concubine Xian's annex, he immediately lived in Concubine De's Xiaohuai Palace, which also gave him the privilege of observing Concubine Xian's "intimate" contact with her during the two months when Concubine Xian gave birth.

Originally, this memory fragment could only make Wang Hong start to pay attention to Concubine De, and in addition, there would be no more in-depth investigation for the time being, but after paying attention to it for a long time, it really made him see the heresy. The heresy he saw with his own eyes made the doubts that had been in his heart for several years swell several times in an instant.

About half a month ago, that is, shortly before Mr. Lin was killed, there was a sudden change in the Xiaohuai Palace in the middle of the night. Although Wang Hong is still not sure whether the people in Xiaohuai Palace are directly related to Mr. Lin's accident, it can at least prove that Concubine De has raised a group of masters under her hands, and these people also have a relatively fast path to enter and exit the palace.

In addition, the number of times Concubine De personally went out of the palace increased significantly during that period.

The dynasty changed banners, and the new monarch also made some changes to the laws and regulations used in the previous dynasty. In addition, in order to take care of his family members who have no experience in court life, the current emperor has changed some court regulations, and he is allowed to occasionally go out of the palace to relax.

Even the people of Kyoto have some understanding of this and express their understanding.

But this micro-service. [,！ When leaving the palace, it is necessary to send some internal guards to accompany you, but Concubine De frequently went out of the palace in the past few days, but she did not alarm the emperor's side, and did not alarm a palace person. In addition to keeping her actions extremely secretive, she also made a "puppet" to stay in Xiaohuai Palace instead of her, pretending to be sick and lying in bed to hide people's eyes.

What is there outside the palace that needs her to be so sneaky?

And the group of people she raised, acting, the path is familiar, and the secrecy work is also very skillful, it seems that it is not a temporary finding someone from the outside to make up, I am afraid that she started to give this qiē a few years ago.

Even if it can't be confirmed that she started doing this ten years ago, it can at least show that she is not a simple-minded woman.

It is not an exaggeration to live in a palace with many hearts and minds, but if someone uses these extra hearts and eyes to do evil things......

If you want to mention the word vicious, a figure suddenly floated into Wang Hong's mind, it was Liao Shi, who had the notoriety of medicine ghosts, that Ye Zhengming had just mentioned in front of him just now.

Because it was Prime Minister Shi Jing who led a group of civil officials to control the City Defense Division in advance, it was regarded as an internal response to the Wang family, and when his grandfather and father led the Wang family army into Beijing, many things in Beijing were still in the usual state, and there was no big riot.

Liao Shi was also still squatting in the prison, but fortunately avoided the burial of the former Emperor Ling before the death of the country.

After entering Beijing, my grandfather was unable to familiarize himself with the humid climate of the seaside capital because of too many new and old injuries accumulated over the years, and he suddenly fell seriously ill and passed away not long after.

His father inherited his grandfather's will and ascended the throne as the emperor, but because of this, he was entangled in a lot of affairs and shelved Liao Shi's affairs, which indirectly caused him to continue to "live" in the prison for more than half a year before he was released.
