137 Falling into the well
Tuoba Yu looked at Li Weiyang, after all, he couldn't let her go to the emperor like this, regardless of Concubine De's obstruction, he had already walked in front of the emperor, and everyone's eyes were looking at him, but he couldn't care about it, and was about to open his mouth to ask the emperor-
At this moment, I suddenly saw a eunuch rushing in and crying: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the Auspicious Palace is gone!" β
The emperor's face changed, and he suddenly stood up from the throne, he could hardly believe his ears, and said sharply: "What do you say, say it again!" β
The eunuch cried and said, "Your Majesty, the auspicious hall has suddenly gone out of the water!" β
When everyone heard this, their faces showed extremely shocked looks. The palace where the Queen Mother now lives is left over from the royal family of the previous dynasty, the autumn is humid, the summer is hot, and the palace is slightly small and old, so the Queen Mother is sullen all day. The emperor saw that his mother was unhappy, so he asked repeatedly, but the queen mother was worried that the emperor's construction would cost the treasury, and insisted on refusing to say what he thought, until the queen mother's personal female official took the initiative to tell the emperor about the situation, he did not know the true situation, in order to take care of the queen mother's compassionate thoughts, the emperor issued a decree to use his own private savings in the highest place in the north of the palace, to build a new palace for the queen mother, named Chongyang Palace, hoping that after the queen mother lived in, she could recover and enjoy peace forever.
Speaking of this Chongyang Palace, it represents the emperor's filial piety to his mother, and it is also the first palace built with the emperor's private property since the founding of the Great Calendar. One day soon after the groundbreaking of the Chongyang Palace, the craftsmen were digging the foundation of the main hall, and suddenly the ground released a dazzling golden light, the craftsmen did not dare to dig again, so they went to report to the emperor, the emperor was greatly surprised, he actually came to the construction site in person, ordered the craftsmen to continue to dig, digging, digging, suddenly saw a thing radiant, dazzling, it turned out to be a phoenix, the golden light is shining, the clear light can be seen, the pattern on the phoenix feather is simple, the dust is not stained, the emperor was greatly surprised, thought it was auspicious, and officially renamed the Chongyang Palace as the auspicious hall, And the excavated treasure was enshrined in the palace, and a special person was sent to guard it, and at the same time ordered Qin Tianjian to choose a date and prepare for the official relocation of the queen mother.
The auspicious hall is a manifestation of the emperor's filial piety, but also a symbol of the glorious prosperity of the calendar, in the heart of the emperor, the status is incomparably important, on weekdays have been sent a special person to guard, a moment without leaving, plus the palace has not been inhabited, there is no open flame candle at all, such a palace will actually go water? It's incredible!
The emperor strode down the steps regardless of a qiΔ, and walked in the direction of the auspicious hall without looking back, and the ministers saw that the situation was not right, and hurriedly followed, they stood in the distance, and saw that half of the splendid palace in the north had fallen into the sea of fire, and at this moment the fire took advantage of the wind, the wind followed the fire, and the sky was burned in a moment, and the fire was amazingly big, and the smoke was really thick into the sky, and the black fog was locked in the air, and the scene was really terrifying.
The emperor looked at it in a daze, he couldn't believe that the palace he had spent so much effort to build would actually run out of water, and the eunuch next to him hurriedly said, "Quick! All go to fight the fire! Just go! So, a large number of palace maids and eunuchs rushed away, but the emperor stood there, motionless, as if he had forgotten to speak.
Concubine Lian glanced at the fire, a hint of sneer flashed in her eyes, but her mouth was even more gentle: "Your Majesty, how could the auspicious hall suddenly go to water?" β
The emperor woke up from his thoughts and said loudly: "Zhou Tianshou, Zhou Tianshou!" Come out to me! β
Zhou Tianshou, who was named by the emperor, walked out of the crowd quickly, but there was no surprise or panic on his face, which was in stark contrast to the people around him.
"Dao Chief, what is the reason why the Auspicious Hall walks on the water for no reason?" The emperor looked at the sky red by the firelight, and a sense of ominousness arose, he couldn't help frowning, and asked coldly, in fact, his heart was already like a frying fire, and he was very anxious.
Li Yuanheng saw this scene and seemed very puzzled, he was a native of Mobei, and he didn't know that the people of Dali were very in awe of fire, everyone thought that the fire was originally caused by ghosts and gods, and they walked on the water for no reason, which was a warning from God to everyone. Especially when the fire occurred in the auspicious hall, this is not an ordinary place, and the emperor's first reaction was to think that he had made a mistake, so that the gods of heaven descended.
"Your Majesty, Poor Dao obeys your will and has been responsible for monitoring the celestial and earthly signs, divining the evil fortune for you, and warning in advance, but such a big fire, Poor Dao has not found any signs in advance, which is really unusual." Zhou Tianshou pretended to be authentic.
The emperor showed a surprised look on his face, but because the other party's words were in line with his own thoughts, he couldn't help blurting out, "Then what does the heavens want to sue me?" β
Zhou Tianshou pinched his fingers into a lotus shape, closed his eyes and pondered, but did not answer. The people next to him began to become anxious, only Li Weiyang in the crowd had a slight smile on his face.
Sure enough, I saw that Zhou Tianshou quickly opened his eyes, and said without changing his face: "Just now His Majesty gave a marriage, according to the poor road, the lord of Anping County is very valuable, and it is not ordinary ordinary people who can match, let alone foreigners!" Whether it is for the Great Calendar or for Mobei, this marriage is very unlucky! β
Zhou Tianshou's loud words made the front of the hall silent. Concubine De couldn't help frowning, and a sentence burst out in her heart: "This old Taoist priest is going to have nothing to do again!" Thinking like this, she couldn't help but smile and stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, Daoist Zhou is just guessing, the county lord of Anping is just a woman, how valuable is the eight characters, the prince of Mobei is a dignified grandson, where can he not deserve it?" β
Zhou Tianshou glanced at Concubine De coldly, and said: "The auspicious hall does not go to the water in the morning, and it does not go to the water in the evening, but it is in the water when His Majesty has just given the marriage, how can Concubine De explain?" β
Concubine De was stunned for a moment, and then retorted: "That doesn't mean that this matter must be related to marriage, maybe it's just a coincidence." β
Zhou Tianshou's smile became condensed, but he no longer paid attention to Concubine De, and turned to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, do you remember the disaster of Minglan?" β
The so-called Minglan disaster is talking about the lord of Minglan in the previous dynasty. At the beginning, Emperor Ning Yuan of the former dynasty personally married this niece Minglan County Lord and married her to Wang Feng, the powerful general at that time. This was a very good family affair, but on the second day of the marriage contract, half of the wall collapsed under the Anding Gate of the palace for no reason, and many people said that the marriage of the lord of Lanjun was very unlucky and should not be carried out, but the emperor thought that the holy decree had been issued, and there was no reason to change at all, so he still married the lord of Minglan to Wang Feng, but he found an excuse to leave Wang Feng in Kyoto to guard the grain depot, thinking that as long as he watched it under his nose, nothing big would happen. However, it was this Wang Feng, relying on the identity of the Yue family, who became more and more arrogant and arrogant, and even did not hesitate to deduct military rations and fill his own pockets...... Originally, it was just like this and it was not completely defeated, but it happened that this Wang Feng opened the country and welcomed the founding emperor of the Great Calendar into the city, and finally half of the rivers and mountains of the previous dynasty were really lost in Wang Feng's hands.
Therefore, later generations said that God had already warned Emperor Ning Yuan, but he refused to obey the will of God. If he hadn't married the lord of Minglan to Wang Feng, Wang Feng would not have stayed in Kyoto, nor would he have become a household official who guarded the warehouse with indignation, and it would not have become an irreparable situation later...... Maybe in the eyes of others, this is just a far-fetched story, of course, the fall of the previous dynasty has nothing to do with this marriage, without Wang Feng, there are countless corrupt officials and corrupt officials who are corrupting the country of the previous dynasty, but in the eyes of the current emperor, Zhou Tianshou's loud rhetoric hit his heart, making him uncomfortable, but he was convinced.
Although Li Yuanheng didn't understand the customs of the calendar, he also knew that this situation was wrong, and hurriedly glanced at Tuoba Zhen, but Tuoba Zhen didn't seem to see it, just lowered his head and said nothing. As soon as he was in a hurry, he went to see Jiang Hua, but Jiang Hua's official position was low, and there was no place for him to speak here, so he could only whisper a few words in Jiang Xu's ear, but Jiang Xu shook his head.
If it was something else, the emperor might still listen to him, but when a fire broke out in front of him, a superstitious person like the emperor must believe that it was a warning from heaven. If the Jiang family opens their mouth to dissuade them at this time, they are afraid that they will be unlucky, and it is better to keep silent. In Jiang Hua's opinion, the expulsion of Li Weiyang is more important than anything else, but in Jiang Xu's opinion, such a move is too dangerous, and for the sake of a Li Weiyang, it is not worth taking such a risk!
Concubine De was anxious, if Li Weiyang was not driven away, then Tuoba Yu would still not give up, she glanced at the expressionless queen and the prince, knowing that they would protect themselves and refuse to participate in this matter, she couldn't help gritting her teeth and said with a smile: "Daochang Zhou, the disaster of Minglan has passed for many years, it is just a legend, you say this, it is obviously far-fetched!" β
Concubine Lian sneered, and her beautiful eyes flowed: "I'd rather believe it than believe it, such a terrible thing is happening right under our noses, can Concubine De still turn a blind eye?" There are so many beauties in the calendar, which one the prince of Mobei likes to choose at will, do you have to be the lord of Anping County? God has said that this marriage cannot be concluded, how can it continue? Concubine De is so bent on going her own way, is it intentionally trying to harm the national fortune of my calendar? β
A smile appeared on Li Weiyang's lips, Concubine Lian really made great progress, and her words hit the nail on the head.
Sure enough, the emperor scolded coldly: "Concubine De, have you heard, don't stop quickly!" Or are you just deliberately trying to damage my country? β
Concubine De's face suddenly turned pale, and she hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the concubine doesn't dare, the concubine is just-"
The emperor waved his hand, stopped her words, and said coldly: "Enough, I don't want to hear it anymore." Prince Mobei, you can pick another beauty, the county lord of Anping can't marry you! β
This marriage is unlucky, very unlucky, as soon as the auspicious hall was promised, it was burned, isn't it a big crisis? The emperor remembered Li Weiyang's ingenuity and suddenly woke up, if such a smart girl was sent to Mobei, wouldn't it be strengthening their strength? If Li Weiyang defects to deal with Da Li, it is equivalent to sending a helper to Mobei! It's different if you change to other boudoir daughters, those women don't know politics or fighting, and marrying will only be used as an ornament...... The emperor thought about it and finally made up his mind that he must not let Li Weiyang marry Li Yuanheng!
Li Yuanheng's face changed, he understood what the emperor said at this moment, and hurriedly said: "No, Your Majesty, I want her!" As he spoke, he pointed to Li Weiyang in the crowd.
Li Weiyang raised his head slightly, but just glanced at him, looking unconcerned.
The emperor looked at Li Xiaoran coldly and said, "Aiqing, you know what I mean, since Weiyang is your daughter, I want to hear your opinion." β
The emperor was unwilling to directly deal with the prince of Mobei, who did not understand the rules on the surface, and this was to ask Li Xiaoran to express his position. Of course, Li Xiaoran understood what the emperor meant, although it was a pity that Li Weiyang could not be sold, but after thinking about it, if he offended the emperor at this time, he really couldn't eat and walk, so he smiled and said: "Prince Mobei, God has given a warning, this marriage is indeed unlucky, if you have to marry, I am afraid that it will bring disaster to both Mobei and our calendar, and the emperor of your country will not agree." Therefore, I think that this marriage must be abandoned, and I can only ask for your forgiveness! β
Li Yuanheng looked at the emperor of the Great Calendar in disbelief, and then looked at Li Xiaoran, he heard that people here speak with all their words, especially the emperor's holy decree, which was changed every day, it was really ridiculous!
Li Weiyang looked at the man who was going to marry him leisurely, with a hint of contempt in his smile, originally she wanted to refuse this marriage There are many ways, but it takes a lot of trouble, this fire is too timely, it seems to be tailor-made for her, and it is specially lit to resign from this marriage...... No, wait a minute, God has never helped like this, or maybe someone did it on purpose. Li Weiyang thought so, so he looked around for Li Minde's figure, but he couldn't be found anywhere.
Where did this person go at such a critical moment?
The emperor first retorted, and then Li Xiaoran also turned his face and didn't recognize people, this pair of monarchs and ministers are incomparably similar in this regard, only doing things that are beneficial to themselves, and they don't care if they want to be ashamed. The emperor eliminated the marriage that had disturbed him, and turned his head again and asked, "Has the fire in the auspicious hall been extinguished?" β
The eunuch hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, rest assured, everything has been done." This means that the fire has been extinguished.
The emperor looked at the crowded auspicious hall over there, couldn't help sighing, turned around and said, "Go back to your seat, the banquet continues." β
Everyone looked at each other, although the marriage in front of them was in vain, but without Li Weiyang in front of them, as long as Li Yuanheng and the Mobei royal family refused to give up and had to marry a young lady from the calendar, these families would be in trouble. There are not a few unmarried women in their family of appropriate age, and today they are all dressed up in fancy ways for the prince to choose a concubine, if they are unfortunately favored by Li Yuanheng, and sent to the kind of place where birds don't, it is really a loss for Mrs. and a soldier, and all the ladies at the moment cover their faces with fans, for fear of being favored by Li Yuanheng.
Li Yuanheng stared at the emperor's back indignantly, and when he couldn't see it, he stared at Li Weiyang again, and quickly chased after him and said, "I won't give up!" β
Sun Yanjun looked at him vigilantly: "What do you want!" Li Weiyang took her hand, turned around and smiled: "Fourth prince, you are so insistent on me, you don't like me, after all, we met in Pingshui, and it is too ridiculous to say that it was love at first sight." I advise you, think carefully about the meaning of the person who instigated you to marry behind your back, don't become a stepping stone for others, it is definitely not a good thing for you Mobei. β
Her words are quite warning. Li Yuanheng was stunned for a moment, and immediately restrained his original displeasure, and looked at the woman in front of him seriously. It is said that she is smart and strategic, but it is true that she is right to the point, and his father asked him to marry a princess here, but the so-called princess is generally reluctant to use the real princess, if Mobei is weak, the calendar will choose a palace maid from a humble background as a princess to deal with, but now Mobei is very strong, so the calendar will at least choose a noble-born minister's daughter to give to him - this specific candidate, of course, is it up to him.
Originally, Jiang Hua sent him a picture of a beauty, and he didn't pay too much attention to it, but later he wrote another letter, saying a lot about Li Weiyang, which made him curious about this girl. Of course he knew that if Jiang Hua was really for Li Weiyang's good, he would never mention this girl frequently in front of him, but so what? The woman who can make Jiang Hua, who is cunning like a fox, fall in his heart, is also equally interested.
Today, he saw Li Weiyang with his own eyes, and he couldn't help but have a deeper curiosity about her, looking at such a cold-hearted and cold-faced, but calm and not at all like a girl of this age. His original curiosity immediately turned into a flame, and he wanted to find out what kind of girl Li Weiyang was. In the past, those girls stared at him like bees whenever they saw him, why was she so indifferent?
Jiang Hua returned to his seat, he coughed more fiercely for some reason, as if he was about to cough out his lungs, he was lying on the bed and was exhausted, and the well-planned play was destroyed by a fire so simply. Li Weiyang, you are really a bold girl, you even did arson in the palace, it would be nice if you could find evidence, but you also know that since the other party dares to do it, there must be a way back...... Li Weiyang is so lucky, it seems that even God is helping her. Jiang Huaqiang suppressed the hot blood in his heart, and showed a casual expression on his face.
Tuoba Zhen suddenly handed him a glass of wine, and Jiang Hua looked up.
"Third son, although it's a good thing to share my worries, it's annoying to go too far." Tuoba Zhen had a smile on his face, but he was beating him openly and secretly, asking him to give up the idea of dealing with Li Weiyang, "Someone will worry about her marriage, so don't interfere in the future when the third prince does." β
Tuoba Zhen tried to deal with Li Weiyang ruthlessly several times, but he failed inexplicably, and now even he can't tell whether he loves her more or hates her more, but no matter what it is, his things are not allowed to be coveted by others. Even if it is death, Li Weiyang must die in his hands, and he cannot fake his hands. His remarks were obviously very unreasonable. Since Jiang Hua is his ally, he is naturally obliged to get rid of Li Weiyang who is in the way, but as a prince, when Tuoba really wants to be reasonable, no matter how much reason he has in front of him, he will not be able to ignore it. How could Jiang Hua not understand this. "I'm sorry." Jiang Hua smiled and said, "This matter is not my consideration properly, but fortunately, it didn't work out, Your Highness doesn't need to worry." If Jiang Hua was angry, he had his own way to persuade him to let go, but the other party was just nothing, which meant that he was never ready to stop, Tuoba Zhen's eyes twisted slightly, and after all, he just sneered and said no more.
The banquet went on as usual, but when there was such a thing as walking water, everyone's faces were a little sneering. Only Concubine Lian's face was as usual, and she spoke softly to the emperor with a smile that did not change, and was blown by her warm breeze, the emperor's ugly face gradually eased, and he took her hand and said, "You can still talk to Concubine Ai." β
Li Weiyang couldn't help but smile when he saw it in his eyes. Concubine Lian has a beautiful appearance, no matter how smart the emperor is, he is also a man after all, and he will be more important than others in many cases. Moreover, Concubine Lian was born in a commoner, she has no family power at all, and there is no threat from her relatives, no matter how much the emperor loves her, she will not cause any problems. Coupled with the previous rumors of the Heavenly Maiden descending to earth, it cast a layer of mystery on her, making the emperor like her more and more.
Concubine Lian on the stage said with a smile: "The emperor is joking with his concubines again, let's watch the song and dance." As she spoke, her softness tapped twice in the air, and dozens of women carrying glazed palace lamps came out from not far away, and in the blowing of the night breeze, there was a sense of the pure spirit of the Nine Heavens Fairy falling into the dust. Dozens of shy women like flowers began to dance in the main hall. At this moment, the fireworks stand not far from the main hall has already set up hundreds of silver shelves of different sizes, respectively decorated with colorful ribbons, and there are all kinds of fireworks at the top, which is very spectacular, at the moment when these beautiful women danced, the eunuchs held lamp caps to extinguish all the candles and oil lamps around, lit the fireworks, countless fireworks rose into the air, after shattering, the beautiful fireworks one by one, flowed down, more and more fireworks, gradually connected into one, became a continuous beautiful picture.
Just now, the emperor was angry, only Concubine Lian dared to touch the head at this time, but the emperor seemed to have completely forgotten the unpleasantness just now, and looked at the fireworks in the sky very happily, and said: "Concubine Ai is really ingenious." β
The queen cast a resentful look at Concubine Lian, but Concubine Lian's smile deepened.
Sun Yanjun whispered: "Weiyang, have you seen it, Your Majesty is very fond of Concubine Lian, she just ran out of the water, and she dared to set off fireworks in the palace." β
Li Weiyang nodded and said, "Concubine Lian is extremely beautiful, smart and beautiful, she naturally has her intentions in doing this." "On the one hand, it's to demonstrate to other people, and on the other hand, it's natural......
Sure enough, I heard Concubine Lian smile and said: "Look, so many fireworks are safe and sound, it can be seen that Your Majesty's decision just now is extremely wise and is in accordance with the will of heaven." β
The emperor nodded, it is true, it is a miracle that the auspicious hall suddenly walked in the water for no reason, and now that he has canceled this marriage, there has been no accident with such a large-scale fireworks, it can be seen that it was indeed a warning from heaven just now. He couldn't help but be glad that he didn't insist too much on his own ideas just now, if he stuck to Jun's promise that there would be no jokes, it would be worth the loss if he annoyed the heavens. At that moment, he took Concubine Lian's hand and smiled: "Concubine Ai is right, I should have listened to you a long time ago." β
When the queen and Concubine De heard this, their faces became extremely ugly, especially Concubine De, who almost couldn't help but clench the wine glass in her hand and almost spilled it. She is the most dignified on weekdays, but she can't restrain herself at the moment, it's really Concubine Lian's behavior is too arrogant, and even found an excuse to pick quarrels and provoke trouble a few days ago, and killed a personal female official next to Concubine De, giving Concubine De a very strict stimulus.
Concubine Lian quietly glanced at Li Weiyang in the audience, Li Weiyang smiled, turned his head inadvertently, and found that Li Minde was already sitting in his place at this time, not far behind him, there was a burning candle flame, people and candles shine together, and his already delicate and enchanting face adds seven points of evil spirit. As if sensing this gaze, Li Minde suddenly raised his eyes to look at her, but he showed a smile.
Li Weiyang looked at the smile in his eyes, and suddenly realized something. This guy had the audacity to set fire to the palace, but now he can still do it like this...... Li Weiyang controlled his heart weakness, drank a sip of sweet pear blossom wine, the wine entered his heart and calmed his nerves, and when he arrived at the heart, he gave birth to a trace of warmth.
"Smack."
The wine glass made a crisp sound on the table, attracting many eyes, Concubine De's face became even more ugly, and Concubine Lian just took a sip of sake unhurriedly before she said lightly: "Sister Concubine De, what's wrong?" β
"I accidentally dropped my wine glass." Concubine De said with a smile, in order to deal with Li Weiyang today, she has lost her manners, and she must not show the slightest dissatisfaction.
"Oh?" Hearing this, Concubine Lian glanced at Concubine De's face, and said with a smile, "Sister Concubine De, be careful, don't drop the wine again." Then, she didn't have any other words in her mouth, she didn't seem to care about Concubine De's gaffe, and she had already put all her energy into the singing and dancing in the field.
Concubine De's face became more and more pale, and the people around her had different thoughts in their hearts, but the Seventh Prince Tuoba Yu showed a worried look on his face. No matter how bad the mother is, she is his biological mother, how can he not worry?
Li Weiyang saw it from a distance, but he just sneered and turned his gaze away. In her eyes, Concubine De was still idle just now, but she was afraid that her death would soon be approaching.
After three rounds of wine, the joy of singing and dancing also slowed down, and the cool breeze of the quiet night blew heavily on the body, but the emperor was very interested, and the dragon's heart was happy, and he said loudly: "Concubine Lian's dance rehearsal is very good, come here, give the dragon wine." As soon as these words came out, the queen and Concubine De changed color at the same time. Qinglong wine is the secret brew of the royal family of the previous dynasty, prolonging life, nourishing the body and replenishing qi, over the years for the emperor to enjoy alone, even the queen has never enjoyed, today it was inexplicably given to a concubine, it is really unacceptable. But on this occasion, there is no room for anyone to intervene.
The eunuch held the dragon wine in his hand, walked up the steps step by step, and sent it to Concubine Lian. Concubine Lian smiled like a flower and said: "Your Majesty, the concubine's body is afraid that she can't drink more now-"
The emperor smiled and said, "You just take a sip, and I will do the rest." Such a gift has reached its peak, but the queen's face suddenly became calm, and she just sneered and did not make a sound.
Concubine Lian smiled and took the wine from the eunuch's hand, and was about to drink it, but suddenly exclaimed, "Your Majesty, look! The emperor took a look, but it was a small flying insect that fell into the wine at some point, he was about to get angry, but saw that the wine soon glowed with a dead gray, the emperor knocked over the wine glass, and angrily said to the eunuch: "What's going on!" β
The chief eunuch Zhou Xiang was stunned for a moment, then knelt down and crawled to the wine glass, picked up the wine glass to take a look, but saw that the little insect had died in the wine glass. It's really like being poured a scoop of cold water on the head, and his whole body trembled violently, his face turned gray, and he opened his mouth and said, "Your Majesty...... The worm may have been drunk and drunkβand the minions immediately sent someone to examine it carefully. β
In the audience, the judge of the Tai Hospital Chen came quickly when he heard the voice, and said, "Please take a look." The emperor nodded, and Chen Yuanju immediately took the corpse of the little worm carefully, and then his face changed greatly: "Your Majesty, this insect is called the wine evil, and it likes to live in wine the most, and it will never be poisoned by wine, please give an order to allow the minister to examine this wine in detail." β
Time passed bit by bit, the faces of the emperor, empress, crown prince and others became more and more gloomy, Li Weiyang saw it in his eyes, but he couldn't help hiding the sneer in his eyes. Many times, being an emperor is not as good as the common people, and he is assassinating poisonous wine at every turn, and he is terrified.
After a long time, Chen Yuan opened his mouth: "This wine is poisonous." β
"Nope! No way! All the wines are inspected with silver needles! Zhou Xiang couldn't help but say, the previous dynasty liked to let the little eunuch come to test the wine, but this method was too cruel, and many poisons were chronic, it was difficult to detect them immediately, in order to ensure that nothing went wrong, the current dynasty began to use silver needles, silver chopsticks and some drugs provided by the Tai Hospital to test the poison. Today's Qinglong wine, naturally, was presented after countless procedures, how could it be poisoned?
Yuan Yuan Chen shook his head and said, "The crane top red and partridge cream are all double, enough to poison a tiger." The crane top red is bright in color and slightly fishy, but the partridge cream has a slightly sweet taste, the two are neutralized together, just temporarily suppressing each other's toxicity, even with silverware can not be detected, people who drink it will not be poisoned immediately, it is not easy to be detected, but within three days the toxicity will completely erupt, the toxicity is even more severe, this poisoned person is really too viciousββ"
Concubine Lian's face changed suddenly, and she knelt on the ground with tears in her eyes and said: "Your Majesty, the concubine has grown up in the countryside since she was a child, she is short-sighted, and she has no city government, and she is a woman who does not know the world. Fortunately, glory and wealth fell from heaven, and the king treated his ministers and concubines with deep affection. The concubine originally thought that she would be satisfied if she could get such a situation in this life, but she didn't want anyone to see the concubine by her side, so she asked her to forgive her and let the concubine leave the palace to protect the dragon in her womb-"
The emperor was furious: "You get up! I want to see who dares to murder my concubine and dragon son in full view! β
Li Weiyang looked at Concubine Lian, blinked her eyes, and said in her heart that she would add another fire. Concubine Lian seemed to have a heart in her heart, tears fell like rain between the electric light and flint, and the silk tassels hanging from the hairpin were scattered, and she was scattered with crying: "Your Majesty, please don't make a big deal for the humble concubine, don't pursue this matter, the other party is just jealous of the favor of the concubine, not to hurt His Majesty - the tragedy of the second prince will inevitably happen, it is better to let the concubine leave, in order to save the royal face!" β
Tuoba Yuxin, who had been quietly observing the development of the situation, was not good, and the emperor's face became extremely angry at that moment, for so many years, the most sad and angry thing for the emperor was the death of the second prince Tuoba Jing. The second prince Tuoba Jing is the second son of the emperor, the age is two years different from the prince, he is benevolent and generous by nature, always treats people with kindness, and has been loved by his parents since he was a child, and even has the momentum of faintly surpassing the prince. However, he favored the side concubine Lin too much, and neglected the princess Liu too much. However, Liu is a woman with vicious methods, she saw that Tuoba Jing was in love with Lin all day long, she was helpless and jealous, and she put poison in her meal in a fit of anger. But Tuoba Jing didn't deserve to die, and after eating those meals, he was not poisoned, but since then he has fallen ill.
This matter made the sky dark and boiling, and the emperor Long Yan was furious and issued an edict to demote the Liu family to a concubine and give him death at home. Tuoba Jing was taken back to the palace to recuperate, but due to the poison infiltrating into his body, coupled with the remorse and chagrin in his heart, his condition worsened day by day, and he lasted less than half a year, and finally failed to survive. Thinking of Tuoba Jing, the emperor couldn't help but feel heartache, and from this, he thought of the dispute between wives and concubines, and the disaster in the palace......
Although he is only in his fifties, his spirit and body are already obviously aging, and his body is getting worse day by day. There are always several illnesses in a year, and each time I get sick, my body and spirit weaken once, and I can't recover for a long time. Because of this, he became more and more tolerant of the concubines in the harem, but he didn't expect that while he was tolerant, he inadvertently indulged the murderer, and the battle in the harem became more and more intense, causing trouble in front of the stage, losing the face of the royal family.
Thinking of this, the emperor raised his eyebrows and said sharply: "Check!" Be sure to investigate to the end! I'm going to see who's so daring! β
As soon as the emperor's words fell, he heard a "poof" sound from His Royal Highness, and a person fell to the ground, which turned out to be a palace maid standing under the steps, who was the palace maid Lily who was originally serving Concubine De.
When Concubine De saw this scene, her mind immediately "boomed", and she cried out in her heart: What the hell is going on with this girl?!
Seeing this, the emperor asked sharply, "What's the matter?" β
Seeing that the emperor was pressing, Lily was even more like a sifting chaff, and replied tremblingly: "Your Majesty...... Majesty, this poison ...... It has nothing to do with slaves! β
As soon as she said this, Concubine De stood up and scolded sharply: "What nonsense are you talking about here!" Don't get out of here! Then she hurriedly turned around and said, "Your Majesty, this girl has been restless lately, maybe she has been caught by something-"
Concubine Lian's face changed, and she said, "Sister Concubine De, this palace maid is the person next to you, don't you have something to say!" β
Concubine De suddenly changed color, anger rose between her eyebrows, and she had to suppress her anger and said, "What do you mean by this, do you suspect that I have done something?" β
The emperor looked at her coldly and said, "Shut up! Let her go on! β
The queen and the crown prince glanced at each other and exchanged a tacit glance at each other.
Seeing those two people who thought they were praying mantises, Li Weiyang just smiled leisurely, and looked at them for a long time, as if sitting under the stage watching a wonderful drama.
Concubine Lian looked at the palace maid named Lily coldly, and said word by word: "You lost your honor in front of the palace just now, you could have been beaten to death with a stick, if you don't tell the truth again, just wait for the palace rules to deal with it." β
"Slave maid - slave maid to sue the chief eunuch! The slave wants to sue Zhou Xiang! Lily suddenly straightened up, gritted her teeth, and said loudly.
Zhou Xiang jumped up almost at this moment, and said sharply: "You girl is crazy, don't get out!" β
The queen suddenly sneered and said, "Zhou Xiang, you are so arrogant in front of Your Majesty, is it because the chief eunuch has been in charge for a long time, and he really regards himself as the master?" β
Zhou Xiang's face changed, and he was speechless for a moment, but his eyes widened and he glared at Lily warningly. But Lily seemed to be completely open-minded, and said loudly: "The slaves and maids all know that it was Concubine De Niangniang who bribed the chief eunuch Zhou Xiang and made him poison the Qinglong wine!" β
As soon as these words came out, the whole hall was in an uproar. Concubine De was full of anger and said loudly: "You girl is really crazy, how could I have bought Zhou Xiang, where did he have the courage to murder Concubine Lian, you are full of nonsense, who instructed you!" β
At this time, the ministers in the palace had already had dense beads of sweat on their foreheads. Especially those characters who are usually close to Concubine De or the Seventh Prince, they are beating drums in their hearts, but everyone gritted their teeth and tried their best to stand upright, watching the development of the situation with wide eyes. If Concubine De really did this kind of thing and was exposed, then the emperor would definitely be furious......
Lily kowtowed a few times on the ground, and her forehead was blue when she raised her head: "Niangniang, the slave and maid should not have betrayed you, but you shouldn't have given the slave and maid to him as food in order to buy Zhou Xiang, in the past three months, the slave and maid have lived a life that is not a human life, and the slave and maid can no longer bear it, even if it is death, the slave and the maid are not willing to live with him anymore!" β
As she spoke, she lifted her clothes and exposed her left shoulder, which could be said to be extremely rude, but everyone didn't care about it at the moment, because they all clearly saw that Lily's shoulder was bruised or purple, accompanied by countless wounds, until the depths of the texture, as if scratched by a wild beast, scarred, miserable, and hardly a piece of good meat, she said word by word: "Zhou Xiang is not a human at all, he is a beast, he abuses and tortures me in every way, Niangniang, if it weren't for your own selfish desires, Why do you want to give me to him? You pride yourself on being tolerant and kind, but why do this to a girl who is loyal to you? β
Listening to this girl's words crying blood, Li Weiyang's smile flashed in her eyes, this play is getting more and more exciting...... Concubine De, when you pushed me down the fire pit, did you ever think that I was also waiting to see you doomed?
