Chapter 62: No Coincidence
Mu Haoyu's calculations are linked one by one, it is difficult for ordinary people to find that they can turn over the rain and rain through the things of the inner house, and some people will not and disdain to think about it, which is more conducive to the secrecy of things and helps things to be achieved smoothly.
Mu Haoyu sat firmly on the fishing platform behind him, controlling the bait in his hand to catch the big fish he wanted to catch.
The Prime Minister's Mansion maintains a relatively peaceful scene on the surface, Ouyang Lin can be regarded as the busiest person in the mansion, on the one hand, he has to stay on official business outside, and on the other hand, he has to accompany the princess to coax Zuo Zhen inside, neither of the two women is easy to offend, one is pregnant and the other is the mother who has lost his beloved son, do you say he can not be busy. No matter how hard and tired he is, he can't be left behind, this is the worst day of his life.
Ouyang Lin is a man, the head of the family, compared to his own small family, he can't have any complaints, he can't lose his temper and has to smile and greet people, Ouyang Lin feels that he is the most helpless person in the world.
On the surface, it seems to be beautiful, but in fact, he has never really gotten anything, although he has the title of a colt, but he has no promotion in his position, and he is far from the beginning when he learned that the princess will marry. It's not what he thinks at all, the dream didn't come true, he can bear it, he doesn't believe that there will be no chance to get closer in the future, not only outside, but also in the house, he has to endure it, endure the princess's coquettishness from time to time for no reason, endure Zuo Zhen's unreasonable trouble, he is really aggrieved as a colt.
Zuo Zhen likes to use Ouyang Lin as a pawn when she is in a bad mood, and after venting, she will feel a lot more comfortable, not afraid of what Ouyang Lin will do to herself, anyway, she has already torn her face, what does it matter if she is smiling or not. Probably because of the loss of the child, Zuo Zhen is very unstable in love, sometimes she can stare at something for a long time and not come back to her senses, sometimes she loses her temper for no reason, she will smash things when her temper comes, and sometimes she will beat and scold Yahuan. It made the maids in the yard tremble, and they were worried all day long for fear that they would be the next to suffer.
Only the nurse who has been with Zuo Zhen never abandons and takes care of Zuo Zhen carefully, even if she is reprimanded, she will not go to her heart. After all, Zuo Zhen is big with her own hands, and she has a relationship like that between mother and daughter.
At first, Zuo Zhen was fine, she looked very calm, and sometimes she discussed with the nurse how to deal with the three people.
Later, as time went by, the nurse suddenly found that Zuo Zhen had become extremely abnormal, and at first she just thought that Zuo Zhen was thinking about the loss of her beloved son, and her mood was inevitably uncalm, thinking that it would be better after a while.
Where would he have thought that things would become out of control, Zuo Zhen became more and more unable to control his feelings, and lost his temper every once in a while. The nurse suddenly had a bad premonition, and she was afraid that Zuo Zhen would be too sad and crazy, and if a good daughter was really crazy, it would be okay. There is no possibility of survival, let outsiders know that they will either be imprisoned in the family temple for eternity or end up with a glass of poisoned wine, no matter which one is what the nurse does not want to see.
The nurse didn't dare to reveal the matter. only said that Zuo Zhen was sick, and called a doctor to diagnose what was going on, so that he could feel at ease.
After the diagnosis, the doctor shook his head and only said that Zuo Zhen had become ill and injured his liver, which caused a great change in his feelings, and there was nothing else to say, as for how to treat it, he could only recuperate. Let Zuo Zhen think of something happy and relaxed, or go out to breathe, maybe he will be healed without medicine after he is in a good mood.
The nurse has not shown any signs of letting go of her brows when she heard this, and the doctor's words are equivalent to saying nothing, Zuo Zhen has been giving birth for almost a month now, and she has been staying in the house to recuperate. Miscarriage also needs to be confined well, and it is cold outside, and if the wind blows outside, it will be even more detrimental to the recovery of the body.
The nurse asked the doctor to check the residue of the decoction she took on weekdays, she was afraid that someone was secretly playing tricks, and there were many people who wanted to harm Zuo Zhen, so she couldn't help but wonder if Zuo Zhen's illness was related to the medicine used. If you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what happens, isn't it because of negligence that people took advantage of the loopholes, so that Zuo Zhen had a miscarriage in her womb, and she grew wise after eating a trench, and the nurse did not dare to make the same mistake again.
The doctor checked the medicine residue, tasted it himself, said that there was no problem, and prepared a prescription according to Zuo Zhen's current situation, so that Zuo Zhen could look calm and not be angry.
The nurse personally sent the doctor away, and before leaving, she paid an extra sum of silver as a hush money, and warned the doctor not to tell Zuo Zhen about his abnormality.
The people in the profession of being a doctor are the most clear and transparent, how can they not distinguish the danger, naturally they know that Zuo Zhen's illness is a matter of importance, and it involves the family affairs of the Prime Minister's Mansion, it is not good to be too casual, don't make a few taels of silver, and the small life will be taken first.
sent the doctor and the nurse to let Yahuan grab the medicine and cook it herself, and soon entered the house with the medicine bowl.
Zuo Zhen is quite normal in normal times, except for her unstable feelings, at least she hasn't forgotten about revenge.
In fact, Zuo Zhen's situation is caused by heart disease, the reason is that Zuo Zhen thinks about how to take revenge every day and night, and can't think of a good way for a while, the pressure suddenly increases under the urgency, coupled with depression, over time, because revenge can not be achieved, and the mood fluctuates greatly, which makes Zuo Zhen moody.
Zuo Zhen actually didn't want to do this, but she just couldn't control it, she was completely irrational when she was angry, she always felt uncomfortable not venting, and when she calmed down, she was very annoyed about what she had done before, but unfortunately it had happened and it was irreparable.
The revenge almost drove Zuo Zhen crazy, and it was only after drinking a few patches of medicine that she eased up slightly, which gave the nurse hope.
One day, the two little Yahuan inadvertently talked about the county lord of Zunyi, and asked Zuo Zhen to listen to it rightly, first scolding the two Yahuan for chewing the root of their tongues, and then the four words of the county lord of Zunyi kept coming to mind and lingering. almost made Zuo Zhenqing lose control.
Suddenly, Zuo Zhen had a flash of inspiration and thought of a way to take revenge, and a long-lost smile appeared on her face.
The nurse didn't know why, Zuo Zhen thought of something and was happy to be like this, and actually smiled, but how strange that smile looked.
Zuo Zhen mentioned the method she thought of to the nurse, and the nurse was stunned at first, how could the matter be related to another person, and it was a character who could not be mentioned.
"Just like me at the beginning, no matter how noble the princess is, she can compare to the lord of Zunyi, no matter what the final outcome of the matter is, I want to see which one is the one who has the last laugh." Zuo Zhen's voice revealed a few traces of excitement that could not be concealed.
"But the lord of Zunyi is not in the mansion?" It is simply impossible to use the hand of the county lord of Zunyi to fight Princess Hening, and the nurse is puzzled for a while why Zuo Zhen is willing to seek the near and far.
"Have you forgotten how Xuan'er died in the first place!" A mention of the dead Xuan'er. Zuo Zhen gritted her teeth with a gloomy face and said, "This is Aunt Liu's handwriting." ”
The nurse suddenly realized when she heard this, this is to kill two birds with one stone, "Miss means to let the maid ring below gossip, so that Princess Hening is dissatisfied with the lord of Zunyi and leads Princess Hening to come to the door." Even if Princess Hening knows that Lanyuan is not allowed to trespass, she will rely on her identity as a princess to break in, no matter who dies in the end, she can give Princess Hening a big blow, and it is the easiest to have a miscarriage after being frightened, no matter whether Princess Hening has a miscarriage or not, this matter will involve Aunt Liu, just because Aunt Liu, as the person in charge of the back house, did not tell Princess Hening in time that there are some places where she can't go. ”
"In this way, Princess Hening and Aunt Liu will target each other, I just need to watch from the sidelines." As for the result, Zuo Zhen didn't think about it, and she couldn't think of it. You can only take one step at a time.
"Aunt Liu is used to being a timid and afraid lord, especially offending the princess, even if she has the support of the daughter of the concubine, she can really cross the princess, and it is impossible to get out of the way." The nurse smiled, this method is not bad. Some places still need to be carefully planned, and they must not be suspicious of Zuo Zhen in order to play a role.
"It's better if Aunt Liu dies, Princess Hening will end up bullying and even causing death, I don't think even today's saint will no longer condone and shield such a princess who has lost the face of the royal family." Zuo Zhen hated that he couldn't let those three people die well.
"The plan for today is to take care of it to avoid being noticed, and the most important thing is to prevent the county lord of Zunyi from returning to his house suddenly, and the matter must be done immediately without delay." The nurse has to think more long-term than Zuo Zhen. To do it, you have to think about everything.
"What you said is not unreasonable, it is most suitable for the county lord to do it if he is not in the mansion, and once he returns to the mansion, he is very likely to be a gang." Zuo Zhen felt scared as long as she thought about it, and she had to do her best without delay.
Within a few days, some gossip came out in the house, and the grandmother beside Princess Hening didn't take it to heart when she heard it, so she didn't tell Princess Hening. just reprimanded the subordinate who passed the word, and then didn't care.
Where did I think that the gossip became more and more outrageous, and the more I said, the more unpleasant it became, and it reached the ears of Princess Hening, and at first Princess Hening listened to it and didn't take it seriously, and laughed at it, but unexpectedly, the gossip actually came to her head. It is also getting more and more intense, saying that the lord of Zunyi is more favored than her princess, and she is more noble than her own princess.
It's just one or two of these gossips, and in a few days, the whole house is talking about it, and the words that come out make Princess Hening even more angry, and she catches up with the pregnancy, and the love is already uncontrollable, and now it's like igniting a cannonball.
Mama's persuasion was useless, and she hated the Zunyi County Lord in her heart, and secretly cursed the Zunyi County Lord to be so majestic, and wanted to go over Princess Hening. How can such a rebellious thing be lightly exposed.
Princess Hening wanted to find the county lord of Zunyi to have a good theory, how could she not be as good as a small county lord of a dignified country, so she inquired, relying on her identity as a princess, no matter what kind of Pinglan Yuan said, she took the people to Pinglan Yuan again and again.
Zuo Zhen listened to the nurse's reply, a smile jumped on her face, and she secretly said, there is a good show to watch now, although it is clear that Princess Hening will return in vain as she did before, and there is no doubt that the matter will be big and depend on how the Prime Minister will deal with it.
Princess Hening took people to Pinglan Garden with a vigorous attitude, the front foot just stepped into the courtyard gate of Pinglan Garden, and the back foot was full of people, whether it was the master or the slave, and the people heard the news and hid and did not dare to move forward, even if there was something to do, they were light-footed, with wide eyes and ears to listen to the news, everyone knew in their hearts, but as long as there was anything to do with Pinglan Yuan, it would be no good thing.
Aunt Liu in Shui Yueju listened, and was shocked in her heart, is this Princess Hening mad or what, even if the county lord of Zunyi is not in the mansion, the place in Lanyuan is also a forbidden place in the mansion, with the experience of the grandmother around the princess, she should not go there without inquiry, even if she is clear, why not stop and not persuade some, isn't this nonsense!
"Ma'am, are you here?" Wang Ma felt that the incident happened too suddenly, which caught people off guard, and could not help but arouse suspicion.
Aunt Liu frowned and thought, "You can't make a judgment." For a while, she was also very confused, as for whether she was coming for herself, she was really uncertain, but one thing was certain. The show is about to start, and I don't know what the ending will be when it is Princess Hening's turn this time.
The Lanyuan Bloody Case was staged again in the early morning after a lapse of five days, and the gloomy atmosphere shrouded the entire Prime Minister's Mansion, adding a touch of weirdness to the already cold and cold weather.
This time it was the grandmother next to Princess Hening who died. The helper that Concubine Shu put next to her daughter, her death was the same as the previous two trespasses in Pinglan Garden, there were no scars on the surface, and her face was pale and I don't know how long she had been dead.
Princess Hening heard the news of her mother's tragic death for no reason, first fainted with excessive fright, and after waking up, she went crazy hysterically for a long time.
Some people are happy and some are worried, and the subordinates who serve Princess Hening dare not breathe. You have to walk lightly, for fear of angering the princess, going crazy and throwing things is small, and it is true that you will die a little.
Bad things happen one after another, it was a happy event, but now two children have been lost. Even if Ouyang Lin doesn't pay much attention to the heirs, his head is big, a Zuo Zhen is enough to toss people, and there is another princess, do you think he can not be upset? The person who died this time is quite weighty, the old lady in the palace is specially chosen by the concubine for the princess, and now she is so unexplained and dead. No one can say it.
This matter is not like the henchman around Zuo Zhen who died before, it is impossible to end it hastily, just talking about the princess can't be said, not to mention that outsiders know that the matter has reached the ears of the emperor, although it is a subordinate, it is also a slave of the princess, how can it be killed. It is necessary to give a reasonable explanation to calm down.
This similar cause of death is all due to the lord of Zunyi, although the lord of Zunyi himself is not in Pinglan Garden, then he can't condone his subordinates to kill people, and there is no royal law. Ouyang Lin really had a little resentment towards this half-sister, how can a person teach a person who takes human life seriously, he really thinks that his father is the prime minister can hold on to everything, as the saying goes, it depends on the owner to beat the dog, that is the princess's henchman, and the emperor is standing behind her, which is called how to be round.
Ouyang Ye heard that there were dead people in the mansion again, and the dead people were not small, one head and two big ones in an instant, what kind of evil did this be, why didn't there be a day of peace in the mansion.
This time the matter is not easy to do, I can't send Zuo Zhen to explain to the princess like last time, lest Princess Hening enter the palace in a fit of anger to complain to the emperor, although the emperor will not really condemn the prime minister's mansion for a slave, but the face of the princess must be taken into account, and if you don't get it right, it will become a laughing stock in the capital, and let others point fingers.
This matter must be explained satisfactorily, no matter who it is, it can't be concealed, it has attracted too much unnecessary attention, Ouyang Ye first asked Ouyang Lin to appease Princess Hening, and then ordered his henchman Ah Qi to investigate thoroughly, no matter what the truth is, he has to make a show.
Princess Hening recuperated calmly under Ouyang Lin's comfort, and her body needs to be well conditioned to avoid falling ill in the future, and it is very likely that it will be difficult to get pregnant.
"Sure enough, it's the same person's fate." Zuo Zhen insisted, "I don't know how they want to check?" ”
"No matter how he checks, it has nothing to do with Miss." The nurse was also happy in her heart, Princess Hening was so not frightened, and it was also possible that the child was not enough to guide the child.
Whether it is Zuo Zhen or Aunt Liu, she is happy to see Princess Hening's miscarriage, Zuo Zhen's purpose is to repay and report, Aunt Liu is for her status in the house, she doesn't want to have a little young master so soon, and she is also a little ancestor born with gold and jade, no matter what will happen in the future, now it is a while, and she has to make herself have a better life.
In fact, there is no need to thoroughly investigate the beginning and end of the incident, and in less than an hour, Ah Qi has already found out, although there is a result, but there is a bit of chill in his heart, just because the matter is too abnormal, which makes people's hearts cold for no reason.
Things are exactly the same as the maid ring named Xuan'er who died of Zuo Zhen last time, and he also listened to the gossip of his subordinates, and went to Pinglan Garden impulsively, the difference is that Zuo Zhen just saw that there was no one in Pinglan Garden and left, and Princess Hening made a big fuss about Pinglan Yuan with the identity of the princess, and also opened the door of the county lord of Zunyi, and dropped something from the royal gift. If it weren't for the fact that the grandmother around her was surprised by the utensils that could only be used in the womb of the house, guessing that most of them were rewarded by the emperor and could not be touched, so she stepped forward to stop them, otherwise I am afraid that things will not only be like this, from Ah Qi's own point of view, even if the county lord is not there, he will never allow others to be wild in his own place, no matter who he is, not to mention that the county lord has always been the only one, and the means are really shocking, in his opinion, the death of a slave is already extraordinarily gracious, not to mention that the princess broke the things given by the emperor, If you put it on others, you will be questioned.
