Before the Wanshou Festival, the Queen Mother brought Xiangxuehai, and the old lady stayed there and did not leave, the weather gradually became hot, and the Queen Mother was impatient to live in the palace. Now that they don't go to the palace to study, the old lady is even more reluctant to stay in the palace.

The queen mother also heard about the prince's side concubine, the old lady has experienced a lot in her life, although she doesn't like to take care of things, but she can understand it. I still believe in Shuyun in my heart, when Shuyun went to ask for peace, the Queen Mother grabbed Shuyun's hand and comforted Shuyun and said: "Let's be women, don't care what our background is, whether it's a small family or a princely family, as long as you get married, no matter how well you marry, you have to plan for your husband and children, as long as you take care of them, you have done your duty, and everything else is not important, you can't manage it, and you can put it down, and hand it over to those who can manage it, and you can manage it, and you will always get a clear understanding." ”

The old lady's words are good words, it can be regarded as the life experience and experience of most of her life, and she understands what she means. Although it is a little unattached to Shuyun's concept, Shuyun understands it. smiled and nodded: "Well, the concubine knows, the emperor is here, the concubine can rest assured." ”

The Queen Mother smiled, nodded with satisfaction, and said: "You are a transparent person, you can see everything, you can also figure it out, and you have a good relationship with the emperor over the years, and the mourning family can rest assured." ”

Shuyun looked at the Queen Mother's eyes a little confused, as if she had fallen into some kind of memory, so she didn't answer. After waiting for a while, the old lady sighed and continued: "The emperor is different from the previous emperor. The former emperor was strong on the outside and soft on the inside, and he looked strong on the outside. In fact, the relationship is very fragile, or it would not be controlled by a woman like Dong E's. Went early, alas!

The emperor grew up under the watchful eyes of the mourning family, although this child was born in the royal family, he also suffered a lot, he was very patient since he was a child, very tolerant, and sometimes he looked kind and generous on the face, but in fact, he has always been tough on the inside. Never willing to compromise with anyone. Only for you is the most different, you can get to where you are today, it is not easy. In the future, we have to support each other, and the mourning family sees that the two of you can be together for a lifetime, this kind of relationship is not easy to come by, it is a great blessing, and it is also a rare creation, so you should cherish it. ”

This is the first time that the Queen Mother has talked about the first emperor and Kangxi in front of Shuyun. Shuyun was very touched when she heard this. has been with Kangxi for so many years. Shuyun also has some feelings about the way husband and wife get along.

It is said that between husband and wife, either the east wind overpowers the west wind, or the west wind overpowers the east wind. In fact, many times it is necessary to compromise, and you can't blindly be strong. He is strong. You just give way, and when he's weak, you take the opportunity to gain the upper hand. If both sides don't give in to each other. It's always the tip of the needle, and I can't live that day. No matter how good the feelings are, sooner or later they will wear out.

For the Queen Mother's sincere advice, Shuyun was grateful in her heart.

New developments in the case were also made very quickly. That batch of incense was specially made for Kangxi's holy birthday. Ten days before the feast of longevity, it is given as a reward along with the portions. The accounts and records of that time are still there. The people in charge of supervising were Wei Zhu and Mama He, both of whom were called by Kangxi to ask them in person. According to Mama Ho, she did not notice a problem with the incense at the time.

Mama He has a habit, probably due to her occupation, whenever she encounters sachets, incense, rouge gouache, and so on, which are used by women, especially things with smells, she will always involuntarily pay attention to them. Mama He has rich experience in this area, as long as it passes through her nose, if there is a problem, you can detect it immediately, especially musk, this smell is special, and things that can cause pregnant women to miscarry can't escape Mama He's nose.

There were a lot of people who came to receive the sample that day, and it was impossible for Mama He to remember what was sent to everyone, but the smelly things, even if they were with packaging, she didn't miss them, which Mama He remembered very clearly.

Mama He is an old man in the palace, it turned out to be Kangxi's person, and later she followed Shuyun. He has always been loyal, steady and proper. So whether it is Shuyun or Kangxi, they trust her very much. Others may not know her ability and personality, but Kangxi and Shuyun are very clear. The clue she provided showed that the box of incense was fine until it was distributed. This made Kangxi attach great importance to it. Using this clue as a basis, the investigation was once again intensified.

On that day, Yuqing Palace took the lead in receiving the share of the bill, and the deputy chief who came to report to the prince on the Wanshou Festival was called Fulu. According to the newly introduced regulations, the recipient of the allowance must send someone to follow, so the people around Li Jia's family also followed a eunuch and a palace maid.

Kangxi had already sent someone to arrest these people, and he never asked anything. Now they are interrogated again, and they are still convinced that the box of incense was like that when it was brought in, they have never touched it.

Kangxi's people also questioned the palace maids who were responsible for keeping the incense and opening the box to light the incense, and they did not admit to doing anything to death. If only these people weren't lying. That can only mean that the thing was dropped in the Li Jia's palace.

If you want to drop the bag, you must first prepare a box of incense that is exactly the same and has been added. There are two groups of people who are capable of doing this, those who also receive the same incense, and those who can imitate it.

Both sides began to look carefully. Those who also got things were palace concubines. Because of the short time, they either haven't used it yet, and they haven't used up all of it. Almighty came up with physical objects to prove his innocence.

I found nothing from the concubine, so I could only start from the craftsman. This batch of incense is specially made for the Wanshou Festival, which is considered a royal thing, with special marks on it, and the materials and methods of making it are not ordinary, not just anyone can imitate it.

They are made by craftsmen who specialize in making incense under the Ministry of Internal Affairs' Guangchu Division, and they are under the management of Shuyun. Now I checked and checked, and pointed all the evidence to Shuyun. Only Mama He's words can prove Shuyun's innocence, but she is Shuyun's person, even if she is telling the truth, except for Shuyun and Kangxi, no one will really believe it at all. This can also see how deliberate the people behind the scenes are.

Kangxi was furious about this situation. He ordered that all the craftsmen of the incense making house should be arrested.

Under strict interrogation, many people opened their mouths. Among them, three people were the most corrected, and the most suspicious was a thirty-five-year-old middle-aged craftsman named Yu An. This man has always been honest, and he usually keeps his duty without saying a word. Originally, this kind of person was the least suspicious.

It's just that his recent behavior, according to his co-workers, is abnormal. Always restless, and always make mistakes in work. And most importantly, he had received the favor of Uyashi Baan before, and Baan took good care of him when he was there.

Under the key "care" of the Criminal Division, Yu An didn't hold it up and finally admitted it. However, he insisted that Shuyun sent someone to ask him to do this.

The people from the Criminal Punishment Department didn't expect to ask such a result, and all the people present were startled, and reported to Kangxi with trepidation.

Kangxi didn't believe it at all. What kind of stupidity does your imperial concubine have to be? So many craftsmen in the incense making office don't use it, and those who are biased want to use one who has been favored and cared for by Wu Ya's Ba'an?

Even the imperial concubine dared to frame him, and the courage of this craftsman was really boundless. was so angry that Kangxi personally assigned two torture masters, and also sent Li Dequan to supervise the interrogation.

Li Dequan felt very bitter, he was the chief manager, and he was about to become a specialist in handling cases.

Since you said that it was instructed by the imperial concubine, then the imperial concubine can't come to tell you in person, you have to send someone to contact you, right? Who is that man? What does it look like? And when and where? What did you all say? During the re-interrogation, Li Dequan, who was in charge of the trial, and the two torture masters did not come up and tortured Yu An, but raised this series of questions.

Yu An replied that the donkey's lips were not in the horse's mouth, and he made it up when he heard it.

Yu An also knew that his words were untenable, so he turned to say that he wanted to avenge Ba An, so he did it. At that time, I didn't want to hurt anyone, there was also a dozen without a collision, if I could just run into a pregnant woman and use it, resulting in a miscarriage, I would blame Shuyun, if I couldn't touch it, it would be Shuyun's luck, and I would find a chance in the future. Anyway, according to what he meant, he was ready to fight Shuyun to the end, but he didn't expect to receive a huge amount of goods just once.

It sounds like that, but it doesn't stand up to scrutiny. How could it be such a coincidence? That's all you have in mind? No one is in charge, you dare to be so bold, so willing to forget your life

The most important thing is that the clues provided by Mama He do not match him at all.

Li Dequan didn't want to talk nonsense with him anymore, so he just said: "You just don't care about yourself, don't you want to think about your wife, children, brothers and sisters, mothers and sons, and other relatives, so you can't bear to watch them die with you?" Think about it. ”

Yu An, who looked like death just now, was silent at that time, and asked with difficulty for a long time: "If I say it all, will my family be able to live?" ”

Li Dequan didn't dare to call the shots in this kind of thing. can only be reported to Kangxi.

Kangxi only gave one sentence: "The death penalty can be avoided".

Yu An also knew that Lu Dao had committed such a big thing, and it was impossible for his family not to be implicated at all. This is already the best result, it is the emperor's extrajudicial grace. Yu An no longer insisted, and recruited them all.

It was Ba'an's younger brother who instructed him to do this, and when he talked to Yu An at that time, Yu An did not agree. Later, he looked for Yu An twice, kept talking about his brother's kindness to An, promised heavy profits, and promised to send several of Yu An's children to the official school. Don't look at the status of craftsmen now, but it is also wishful thinking for children to want to enter the official school. This condition made Yu An tempted. After the last time, Ba'an's younger brother gave Yu An a guarantee, saying that Ji Lu's plan was very well arranged, and he would definitely not be found out. Yu An thought of the child's future, although he was still very worried in his heart, he still gritted his teeth and agreed. (To be continued......)
