Leng Qingtang stepped on the moonlight and returned to the East Factory.

The guards who stayed at the gate saw a night suit coming from far and near, and immediately became alert, until they saw his face clearly, and bowed down one after another:

"Overseer."

Leng Qingtang entered the main hall all the way, Cheng Wanli waited inside, and asked about Gu Yunxi when he served tea after the salute, and his tone couldn't wait:

"Have you seen the cloud girl?"

"Hmm."

Leng Qingtang glanced at his dark square face, turned around and sat down on the chair, raised his glass but didn't want to drink, and his faceless face was a little dignified under the candlelight.

Cheng Wanli looked hesitant when he saw this, but he still couldn't help but ask:

She ...... It's really ......."

Leng Qingtang closed his eyes:

"On the way to the Song Mansion, I tried her martial arts, and it was indeed the same as the masked man pursued by Dongchang...... It's just that I don't know if they are related to Lei Huan. ”

Cheng Wanli was silent in surprise, his eyes were immediately raised, and his dark eyes were fixed on the overseer.

This is what worries them most.

Since Gu Yunxi was first taken into the ceremonial prison to bear a heavy sentence, although Leng Qingtang was forced to let people go under Xu Yuanjiao's pressure, he installed many eyeliners inside and outside Chuxiu Palace.

Now, the conclusions drawn from the deliberation of many clues have finally become facts.

Leng Qingtang took a deep breath:

"Gather three, four, or five secret guards and follow the plan."

Cheng Wanli panicked slightly: "That's ...... Cloud Girl ......"

"Ben Governor won't let anything happen to her!"

Leng Qingtang cut off Cheng Wanli's words, his eyes went straight away, and his eyes were clear and determined:

"This time, Ben Du will never miscalculate again, Ben Du will definitely bring her back to Dongchang safe and sound!"

……

The night is dark and cold, and the cold wind whimpers like a ghost crying and crying, wandering through the world.

The streets were empty of people, except for the inverted ridges of ice hanging under the eaves of each house, varying in length and thickness, occasionally flickering in the moonlight and starlight.

Halfway through the ugly hour, a black shadow suddenly flashed next to the archway on Xuanwu Street, trotting into the south alley, and pausing in front of the well at the mouth of the alley.

Cautiously looking around, he shuddered and took out a porcelain bottle from the placket, pulled off the wooden cork, and sprinkled a large amount of powder into the well water.

Immediately, a group of Dongchang guards rushed up and trapped the person who had thrown the foreign object into the well.

Seeing the scorching embroidered spring knife in Fanwei's hand, the man immediately softened next to the guardrail stone at the wellhead, and kept crying in his mouth:

"Spare your life, my lord's life......"

Bai Qiying, who blocked the head of the fourth time, separated the encirclement, took the long-necked porcelain bottle handed by Fan Wei, looked at it in his hand by the moonlight, and raised the fierce leopard to look at the humble figure kneeling on the ground:

"Who are you? He came here in the middle of the night, and threw something into the well, saying! ”

The man's body trembled, his head drooped, his face was almost to the ground, his back was hunched, and his limbs were curled up like a subservient king:

"My lord, spare my life, I say...... The villain is Qin Tianjian Jiupin Si Chen, yes, is on the order of Song Jianzheng...... Put antidote into the well water. ”

The man was known to have committed a serious crime, and after answering intermittently, he fell to the ground with no strength to support him.

Bai Qiying hooked her lips, smiled coldly, and waved her arms:

"Very well, come on, drag away."

At the same moment, a small group of people from Dongchang Wufan rushed into the mansion of the Qintian Prison Supervisor in casual clothes. Seeing the pale Song Jianzheng, Luo Zixun arched his hand five times, and his tone was gentle and submissive when he spoke:

"Lord Song doesn't need to panic, the cold supervisor of the East Factory knows that someone is going to be unfavorable to you, so he specially appointed you to live in the East Factory. Now that the carriage is waiting outside the house, please go with your humble duties. ”

After speaking, he stretched his arms and made a gesture of "please".

Song Jian was instantly frightened, his whole body fell on the circle chair, trembling and unable to help himself, and was stepped forward by two guards, and was carried into the carriage with the chairs.

……

It's early morning again, the sky is cloudy, the sun rises, and the snow disappears.

The plague receded overnight, causing tens of thousands of people in the capital to cheer and gather under the eight gates of the imperial city to bow down, chanting "Holy Wisdom and Divine Martial Arts", and being grateful for his trip to kill the demon fetus.

Emperor Jingxiao was happy, and accepted Leng Qingtang's proposal, the next day the evening palace door was opened, and the Baohe Hall was lined up with a "universal banquet", and the emperor invited hundreds of civil and military officials and ministers to go with the harem concubines, and selected a hundred young men and a hundred old men from the people to enter the palace to celebrate with the emperor.

Colorful lanterns are hung high, singing and dancing are leveled, and thousands of people gather together to enjoy delicious food and wine, forming the most vivid and poisonous scenery in the deep palace.

Concubine Xu sat upright and was not in the mood to enjoy the song and wine, only looked sideways at the harem seat with a brow of eyebrows, and only Concubine Yu was missing among the many delicate and bright faces.

Today, Gu Yunxi took leave, saying that someone from her hometown came to Beijing to see her. The people who were plagued by the plague were blocked on the way before, and now that the epidemic has passed, last night they rushed to an inn in the capital to settle down, and they asked someone to bring news from outside the palace early in the morning, wanting to reunite with Gu Yun for a few days.

Concubine Xu naturally believed in what Gu Yunxi said, and remembered that she had been serving her in Chuxiu Palace for half a year, so she was allowed to take two days off and leave the palace to reunite with her relatives.

Seeing that her favorite two people were not around, Concubine Xu felt so bored that she couldn't lift her spirits at the banquet.

As soon as the singer finished singing, she saw that there were many people outside the palace, and it seemed that many people had gathered there, and then the conversation began, and it was noisy.

"Who's making a fuss out there?"

Emperor Jingxiao dropped the golden cup, raised his eyebrows slightly displeased, stretched his neck sideways, and raised his voice to ask outside the hall.

A young chamberlain trotted into the temple and knelt down in the center of the red carpet:

"Back to the emperor, it's Concubine Yu who has arrived. The slave was worried that her body had not been safe, and he did not dare to let her into the temple rashly. ”

This eunuch spoke vaguely.

According to folk customs, Gu Yunyao's miscarriage is also a miscarriage, and it is unlucky to sit in a small confinement for less than a month, and it is really unlucky to openly show her face in a big scene.

There was a commotion below the golden platform, and whispers rose from the civil and military officials, harem concubines and ordinary people's seats.

The imperial concubine on the golden platform was silent, and the cold light in her slightly narrowed eyes was extinguished.

The day before yesterday, I heard that an official from Qintianjian had entered the place of Goolan at night and was taken away by Dongchang.

Now that the management of the East Factory is getting wider and wider, even the officials have to get involved in and out of the Fengyue Field? Or is it for that thing?

Immediately afterwards, Qin Tianjian Song Jian was also sick in bed and closed the door to no longer meet guests......

Has the situation really changed?

The emperor's face in front of the dragon case instantly darkened, and Queen Qian said to the inner servant with a straight face:

"Concubine Yu too, how old is she, how can she not understand the rules so much? Tonight Baohe Hall is not the place she should set foot in, you go back to her, and tell her to go to Xiaoyexuan to recuperate. ”

Concubine Xu heard that Queen Qian's words were a little harsh, and her lips opened lightly, but she didn't know what to say for a while.

"The minions obey."

The little chamberlain prostrated his head, and before he could stand up, a clear voice came straight into the hall from outside the door:

"The emperor, the queen's mother, and the concubines know that those who have miscarriages should stay in the palace to recuperate, and they should not walk out at will.

However, the concubine is guilty, dare to ask, if the fetus in the womb of the concubine is still there, can she enter the treasure and the palace to get close to the face of the dragon and phoenix, celebrate with the king, and hope that the queen will show it. ”

Gu Yunyao's words were like heavy stones falling into the sea, and they immediately exploded into thousands of waves, and suddenly everyone was shocked, and the hall was noisy.

The emperor's mind was "buzzing", and he sat in front of the dragon case in a daze, completely unable to distinguish the situation. The imperial concubine's fists trembled, and her eyebrows and eyes were hideous in disbelief. Queen Qian's expression was shocked, and her eyebrows and eyes slowly stretched, revealing a hint of joy.

To be honest, as the lord of the Six Palaces, she had doubts about Qin Tianjian Jin's words, after all, she had lived in the deep palace for a long time, heard and seen it, and had personally experienced too many sinister things.

It's just that at that time, the plague was fierce, and hundreds of doctors in Beijing had no cure, and she gradually became obedient to gossip, and the emperor was determined to do something to Concubine Yu, so she, the queen, did not dare to stop it.

Now Concubine Yu is outside the Baohe Palace, and the opportunity cannot be missed, Queen Qian was the first to react, and hurriedly got up and spoke:

"Chuan Yu Concubine entered the palace, what is the truth of the past, tell her to make it clear to the emperor in person!"

The little chamberlain bowed again, and then ran out.

Soon, Gu Yunyao slowly walked into the hall, with a snow white silver thread feather pattern wide-sleeved skirt on her body, a slightly loose waist, and a simple head ornament.

The chief Songqin followed behind the master, holding her fox fur cloak in her hand, and staring at the master's back with a pair of eyes.

Gu Yunyao walked to the center of the hall and stopped, flirted with the hem of her skirt, knelt down, and said:

"Concubine Gu Yunyao knows that she has committed the crime of defrauding the king. Today, the temple does not ask for forgiveness from the saints, but only for the emperor in the womb of the concubines to be cleared of no false grievances, and the concubines are satisfied. ”

Emperor Jingxiao's facial features twitched, a fat face was half cold and half stunned, and he had to be quiet on the dragon chair for a moment before stammering and asking:

"You, you're not...... Why...... Concubine Yu, I saw you drink the abortion pill with my own eyes that day......"

Gu Yunyao's face was cold and lonely, and she pulled her lips leisurely as if she had passed away with a contemptuous smile, and suddenly said:

"The concubine is guilty......"

"If Master Yu is guilty of deceiving the dragon fetus in the womb of the Holy Protector, how should those who use the theory of celestial phenomena to confuse the public and vainly try to use the celestial phenomenon to wait for the opportunity to strangle the emperor's own flesh and blood?"

As the beautiful and melodious sound murmured into the Baohe Palace, Leng Qingtang stepped into the threshold in a commander python robe, steadily walked behind Gu Yunyao, shook his knees to the ground, and waved his hand to the top of the golden platform:

"Weichen Leng Qingtang overtime in the investigation of the case, failed to return to the palace in time to go to the Putian banquet, and hoped that the emperor would forgive the sin."

The emperor waved his hand and said in a rambling voice:

"Qingtang, I've worked hard for you, I don't know what you just said?"

Leng Qingtang raised his eyebrows, and a trace of ridicule was hidden in the corners of his eyebrows:

"Your Majesty, at the beginning of Master Yu's pregnancy, the capital fell into an epidemic for no reason, and then Qin Tianjian used the theory of celestial phenomena to bewitch the people. On the one hand, he secretly investigated the matter among the people, and on the other hand, he discussed with Master Yu a perfect plan to replace the fetal pill with a fetal pill, which can protect the dragon fetus and make the rumors self-defeating.

If the dragon fetus in the master's womb is still there, and the world is peaceful and the plague is gone, it can be seen that the words of the celestial phenomena and the demon fetus are purely imaginary! ”

Concubine Xu had already heard the righteous indignation, and when Leng Qingtang's voice fell, she stood up from the chair, walked out of the seat and bowed deeply to the golden platform, and said conclusively:

"The emperor, the queen's mother, those who maliciously spread rumors about celestial phenomena are really hateful, and their murder of the emperor's heirs should be punished by the nine clans. I also hope that the emperor will thoroughly investigate the identity of this person, arrest the culprit and bring it to justice, and return the innocence of Concubine Yu's mother and son. ”

The harem concubines got up together, and their bodies went up in unison:

"I implore the emperor to thoroughly investigate the identity of the culprit and return the innocence of Concubine Yu's mother and son."

The imperial concubine froze on the chair, her eyes speechless, and her forehead and sideburns were covered with cold sweat.

Empress Qian was already aware of the light side view in her heart, and a flash of cold smile lines flashed on the rose's lips, and she bowed to the emperor:

"Although Concubine Yu and Dongchang concealed the truth about the fetal protection from the emperor, they tried to ensure that the dragon descendants were commendable, and they were meritorious to the royal family and the society! Now that the merits and demerits are offset, I hope that the emperor will not blame the past and take down the real culprit as soon as possible. ”

The emperor's eyebrows stretched and he nodded happily, his fists clenched, and a cold glow burst out of his resentful eyes, and his voice was like a frozen lake:

"Admiral Dongchang, since you have used a plan to protect my emperor, you should have found out who the troublemaker was behind the scenes, right?"

Leng Qingtang's eyebrows were awe-inspiring, and he said loudly:

"The emperor Mingjian, since the plague ministers sent Dongchang Fanwei to visit day and night, and jointly investigated with the Tai Hospital, and finally found that the disease spread by the people was not the plague, but someone deliberately poisoned a total of 38 main wells in the east, west, north and south."
