Chapter 468: Poison Source
Hearing this, Empress Dowager Zhang smiled heartily. She knew that Nie Shuyao had reservations about her, but what did it matter? She's old.
also knows how important the knowledge of that era is to today's Ming Dynasty, judging from her observations of Nie Shuyao over the years, she is not ambitious. Otherwise, she would not have allowed the Lu family to design her to make her swear a poisonous oath and let the Lu family's son take over as Wu Dinghou.
At this time in the Ming Dynasty, no woman could bear to let her own son abandon such glory, which shows that she really doesn't care.
Empress Dowager Zhang knew that she had changed some of the historical trajectories of the Ming Dynasty, and her dearest emperor was in good health, and she also had two grandchildren. There is nothing better than this, she knows very well the Ming Dynasty in history, when the emperor died, how miserable her fate was.
As long as she can keep her son and grandson and change the current situation of the Ming Dynasty a little, she will be relieved. Because she knew this history, when King Ning rebelled, she was not worried at all.
Nie Shuyao saw that Empress Dowager Zhang closed her eyes and pondered for a long time, and couldn't help but ask, "Empress Dowager, please tell SΓΉ Shuyao, what do I need to do?" β
Empress Dowager Zhang opened her eyes and smiled: "Just be your eldest princess." Cong'er and Xian'er have suffered a lot over the years, you are their aunt, you have to watch them carefully. β
Nie Shuyao also smiled slightly, she understood, it seems that she can no longer be a behind-the-scenes person. replied: "Yes, Shu Yao wrote it down." The two princes are also Shu Yao's nephews, please rest assured that Shu Yao will do her best. β
Empress Dowager Zhang gave her a blank look, "Call the queen mother." β
"Yes. Queen mother! So far, she can only bite the bullet, so she simply called out.
Empress Dowager Zhang smiled and said, "Okay! Good! I don't know which fiefdom Shu Yao likes? β
Nie Shuyao always kept her senses, she knew very well that she couldn't open her mouth at this time. said modestly: "Queen Mother, Shu Yao is not the title of the eldest princess, just to see the nobles and not kneel." This fiefdom will be exempted, and there is no need to build a princess's mansion on a large scale, and the Wuding Houfu will be very good. β
Empress Dowager Zhang waved her hand and said, "How can this be done?" Don't say anything else, just talk about Wuding Houfu, this Houfu will be your nephew sooner or later. I'll give you the Eldest Princess's Mansion, which has been empty. This fief is still needed, how can there be no fief eldest princess, and it will be left to your son in the future. β
Nie Shuyao was afraid of trouble. Then he said: "If you have to, then it's okay to give Shu Yao to Shu County?" Shu Yao also has a mansion in Xuzhou Mansion, which was obtained by accident, so he regarded it as the princess's mansion in the fief. I don't know if there is a chance to live. Please allow Shuyao to live as before. No. No....... β
Empress Dowager Zhang immediately answered: "Okay, if you have nothing to do, you don't have to enter the palace, except for the mourning family and the emperor, you don't have to kneel, and you don't have to please anyone!" β
In this way, these things have been settled, and after the rebellion of King Ning is pacified, Nie Shuyao will be named "Yaohua Eldest Princess".
Returning to the main hall, Empress Dowager Zhang nodded at Zhengde.
They were not waiting to speak. Nie Shuyao stepped forward and took Nie Tianxi's hand and knelt down again. said: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother, Tianxi's identity must be clear. Shu Yao begged His Majesty to rehabilitate the Nie family and return Tianxi a true identity. β
The two of them kowtowed heavily.
After kowtowing, Nie Shuyao felt that she really hated kneeling at every turn, hoping that this would be the last time.
However, she didn't think that Emperor Zhengde and Empress Dowager Zhang would be angry, a crime of the Nie clan would not have been wiped out, and the first emperor had to do it for the stability of the imperial court. Second, Empress Dowager Zhang has a request for herself, so she has to give some expression.
Empress Dowager Zhang didn't speak, and Emperor Zhengde said: "Imperial sister doesn't need to be like this, please hurry up, and call me Emperor Brother in the future." I don't know much about Nie Tianxi, so it's better for the imperial sister to talk to me in detail. β
"Yes, Brother Huang." Nie Shuyao was not polite, and pulled Nie Tianxi to get up.
Nie Shuyao told Nie Tianxi's story one by one, and when he picked him up by the river when he was a child, Nie Tianxi also interspersed a few memories.
The two grew up comforting each other since childhood, and they are both good at storytelling. Nie Tianxi's life experience was said to be full of twists and turns, and even the Empress Dowager Zhang and the two princes were in a mood of ups and downs.
After speaking, Zhu Xian said indignantly: "There is such a minion, it's really damned!" β
Empress Dowager Zhang answered: "The slave bully the master, this is not uncommon in any dynasty or generation. Speaking of looking at a few Zhengde, "The emperor decides, it's time to give justice to Concubine Nie Xian's family." β
Emperor Zhengde nodded, took out a book and said, "Look at this." β
Nie Tianxi stepped forward and took it respectfully, and the faces of the two sisters and brothers changed slightly after seeing it.
Nie Shuyao said: "Your Majesty, the whistleblower is the Nie family of Qu County, I think it should be Nie Xian of the Nie family." There's another story here. β
Zhu Xian immediately pouted: "Xian? He also deserves to be named by this word. Auntie, is this your story again, tell it, tell it! β
Empress Dowager Zhang favored her two grandsons and glared at Zhu Xian, "Xian'er!" At the same time, he glanced at Zhu Cong, who was still smiling, and felt slightly unhappy in his heart.
Nie Shuyao told the Nie family about the Nie family's fake confession and real betrayal of the concubine.
In the end, even Zhu Cong was so angry that he accused, "There are still such shameless people in the world?" My aunt really suffered among the people. β
Seeing that Nie Shuyao was also smiling at Zhu Cong, Empress Dowager Zhang's displeasure slowly disappeared, she had her worries, Zhu Cong pinned his hopes on the Ming Dynasty and herself, but she couldn't let the two brothers in the future turn against her because of something.
Nie Shuyao smiled: "Cong'er doesn't have to worry. My aunt is not the kind of woman who is slaughtered by others, but she knocks them hard and laughs, so that stealing chickens is not a counterproduct. β
Everyone laughed as soon as he said this, and the atmosphere slowly improved.
At this moment, Yu Zhong's voice came from outside.
"Qi Yu Majesty, Liu Meiren is seriously ill."
These words reminded Zhengde of the matter, Liu Meiren is also a beauty he likes, so he said: "In addition to discussing the matter of recognizing relatives in letting the imperial sister enter the palace today, there is also the poison in this Liu beauty, I want to ask the imperial sister to check it." β
"What poison?" Nie Shuyao frowned and asked, in fact, she had already guessed in her heart what kind of poison it was.
Empress Dowager Zhang replied: "Dove poison! This poison also appeared in the harem of the first emperor back then, and it was said that it was brought in by Concubine Nie Xian. If the Yangzhou Nie family wants to be rehabilitated, the source of this poison must be investigated, Shu Yao, it's up to you. β
Nie Shuyao got up and said, "Yes, Shuyao did his best." However, this poison now has an antidote, please ask Doctor Xuanxun to detoxify Liu Niangniang. β
Zhengde was so surprised that he said loudly: "Is this true? β
"Yes! It's just that the antidote is used on people for the first time, and although I don't know what the sequelae are, it is enough to save my life! β
"Good! Yu Zhong, the divine doctor of Xuanxun entered the palace to diagnose Liu Meiren. β
Yu Zhong, who was waiting outside, immediately complied.
Nie Shuyao said again: "Liu Meiren was poisoned by the dove twenty years ago, which shows that the person who made the poison is still alive, why don't you ask Your Majesty to let Shu Yao go to Liu Meiren's palace to check it out, okay?" β
Emperor Zhengde was planning to do this, he not only wanted to catch the person who poisoned him, but also found out the person behind the scenes, so he waved his hand and said: "Accurate!" (To be continued......)
