Chapter 112: Centrifugation
Qiao Xinyou sat in front of Xiang Hongxuan's soft couch with the pipa in his arms, elegantly plucking the pipa strings, Xiang Hongxuan lay quietly on the soft couch, one hand followed Qiao Xinyou's tune, up and down, it seemed that in this gentle pipa song, all the troubles were left behind.
To be honest, compared to Xue Duyan's Gonghou song, Qiao Xinyou's pipa song is indeed not amazing enough, but Xue Duyan's Konghou song is beautiful, but every time I listen to it, Xiang Hongxuan's heart will always be pulled together, especially those who don't want to remember and the beauty of the past, which are always entangled, making Xiang Hongxuan's heart mixed.
It's still Qiao Xinyou's pipa music, no matter when, listening to her song, you can always forget your troubles. Xiang Hongxuan propped up his upper body with one arm, he picked up the wine jug, poured a glass of wine, smelled the wine, accompanied by melodious pipa music, Xiang Hongxuan wanted to be drunk and dreamed of death, this is probably what it looks like, except for comfort, there is no other feeling.
Suddenly, an internal guard quietly walked into the inner hall, the internal guard quietly knelt aside, bowed his head and said nothing, glanced at the internal guard to Hongxuan, he straightened his body, drank the wine in his hand in one gulp, and said faintly: "Qiao Gong people, I am tired today, you can step down." ”
Qiao Xinyou put away the pipa in her hand, she looked at the inner guard on the side, got up and saluted to Hong Xuanfu with interest, and then elegantly withdrew from the inner hall, just walked to the outer hall, Qiao Xinyou was not in a hurry to leave, she looked at the outer hall, and transferred the palace people from the outer hall to Hongxuan, it was obvious that the inner guard had something important to say, Qiao Xinyou thought about it, and immediately tiptoed close to the red door of the inner hall, and listened carefully to the conversation in the house.
"Your Majesty, the internal guards who followed the king of Pingnan and Wu Juma came to report that they had returned to Pingcheng, and General Xue had also placed some of the state soldiers in the military camp in Pingcheng, Wu Juma was very dissatisfied with this, and after he returned to Pingcheng, he took his descendants out of Pingcheng in a fit of anger and camped in the courtyard outside the city."
"What about King Pingnan?" Xiang Hongxuan asked.
"King Pingnan doesn't seem to have much reaction, he still lives in the yamen of the military department, however, before King Pingnan left Pingcheng, he arranged for a woman to enter the military camp, and this time after King Pingnan returned to Pingcheng, he successively arranged for many people of unknown origin to enter the military camp, and the woman was arranged to be a personal guard by King Pingnan's side."
Xiang Hongxuan raised his eyebrows, he played with the wine glass in his hand, and whispered, "Do you know who that woman is?" ”
"I heard that it is the orphan daughter of General Dongyu, called Ding Green Buddha."
Xiang Hongxuan immediately got up, his eyes released a sharp gaze, Ding Green Buddha? Isn't it the woman who saved Ling Xi? actually went to Jiang Wanfeng's side, did Ling Xi intervene in this matter?
Xiang Hongxuan slowly slumped on the soft couch, he picked up the flask and poured himself a glass of wine, and said, "Have you made any movement among the courtiers recently?" Especially about the second prince's sue to heaven. ”
"Before the birth of the third prince, many courtiers planned to participate in the performance of Concubine Xiao De's transgression, and many courtiers planned to play His Majesty, on the grounds that Concubine Shu was immoral, to abolish Concubine Shu, but then it was all gone. After the death of the third prince, the courtiers didn't seem to have much movement, only
However, the princess went in and out of the harem and visited the mother many times. ”
Xiang Hongxuan raised the wine glass in his hand, and just wanted to drink it, he suddenly stopped and said, "Isn't there anyone planning to play the Lichu?" ”
The guard shook his head, lowered his head, and remained silent.
Qiao Xinyou was shocked in her heart, it seemed that Xiang Hongxuan had made up his mind to make Xiang Minghao the crown prince, thinking about it, in addition to the son of the princess of Xihuaguo, who can replace the son of the queen as the prince, which woman's son in the harem can become the prince. Has Xiang Hongxuan's jealousy of the descendants reached such a point? That is to say, Feng Yingying will also be more expensive than her mother, so is Feng Yingying's grounding still a thing?
Suddenly, Qiao Xinyou heard footsteps outside the hall, she immediately took off an earring and threw it aside, and then walked quickly away from the red door a few feet away, and began to pretend to be looking for something in the outer hall, Xiao Dezi slowly approached Qiao Xinyou, and asked with concern: "Qiao Gongren, what are you looking for?" ”
"Father-in-law, one of the slave's earrings is missing, it was rewarded by His Majesty, the slave and maid like it very much, it must have been accidentally lost in this Flying Feather Hall just now, and it is good for the father-in-law to help the slave and maid find it." Qiao Xinyou said calmly.
Xiao Dezi raised his eyes and looked at Qiao Xinyou's empty right earlobe, he hurriedly responded, immediately lowered his head and began to look for it, after a while, Xiao Dezi found Qiao Xinyou's earrings in a corner of the outer hall, he respectfully took Qiao Xinyou's face, Qiao Xinyou smiled slightly, picked up the earrings and walked out of the hall.
Xiang Hongxuan angrily threw the wine glass in his hand on the side of the case, the wine glass was immediately poured, the wine was spilled all over the case, and a drop of fine wine went down the edge of the case, dripping on the ground, ticking and ticking......
After a long time, Xiang Hongxuan, who calmed down his anger a little, said: "There is a rumor in the palace, how is it investigated?" ”
"Your Majesty, since the queen gave birth to the third prince, there has been this rumor in the palace, at first it was just the palace people muttering in private, after the death of the third prince, even the ladies of the palace began to spread, the ministers have been investigating for a long time, this kind of rumor, the palace people can't tell when and where it began to spread. However, the minister checked the miscarriage of the queen that year, and there were indeed some suspicious things. ”
"What's suspicious?"
"The minister found out that before the queen miscarried, Xiao Yinzi of Qingfeng Yuan had gone to the Tai Hospital many times to change the prescription, and concealed it, especially on the day of the miscarriage of the queen's mother, Xiao Yinzi went to the Tai Hospital Chen Tai Doctor to get a new prescription, and the subordinates of the Tai Hospital and other Tai Doctors had never seen the prescription, and then the Chen Tai Doctor personally grabbed the medicine and handed it directly to Xiao Yinzi, Xiao Yinzi did not decoct the medicine in the Tai Hospital according to the rules, but returned to Qingfeng Yuan to decoct the medicine for the queen's mother, it is said that after the mother took the medicine, even the medicine residue was gone."
"What else?"
"Your Majesty, it's been too long, and it involves the queen's mother, and the minister has only found out about these, but there is one person who should know about the events of the year."
Xiang Hongxuan got up, stared at the inner guard, he walked quickly to the red door, and shouted loudly to the outer hall: "Come here, pass on Imperial Doctor Chen to see you." ”
Chen Xuan trembled and knelt in front of Xiang Hongxuan, he finally escaped death, and at this moment Xiang Hongxuan
He came to see the driver, and there was not even a palace person in the entire Flying Feather Palace, it was obvious that this was an unusual meeting, thinking of this, Chen Xuan's back broke out in a cold sweat.
"Imperial Physician Chen, what happened to the queen's miscarriage back then?" Xiang Hongxuan shouted.
Originally, Chen Xuan had no bottom in his heart, and when he was angrily reprimanded by Xiang Hongxuan, he was so frightened that he immediately kowtowed, and in the silent inner hall, only Chen Xuan's loud kowtow and the sound of his restless heartbeat were heard.
"Your Majesty, the minister is guilty, and the minister deserves death."
Xiang Hongxuan looked at Chen Xuan's excessive begging for mercy, all his conjectures seemed to be confirmed, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of disgust in his heart, he blurted out and said, "Since you are guilty, then you should die." ”
As soon as he heard this, Chen Xuan was even more panicked, he immediately prostrated at Xiang Hongxuan's feet, and continued to beg for mercy: "Your Majesty, the minister was forced, and the minister did not dare to murder the prince, it was the queen mother who asked the minister to do it." ”
The moment Xiang Hongxuan heard Chen Xuan's words, he kicked over Chen Xuan, who was prostrate on the ground, and he asked angrily: "Tell me what happened back then, and tell me word for word, if you dare to say a word of nonsense, I should punish you Nine Clans." ”
Chen Xuan immediately got up from the ground, and knelt respectfully in front of Xiang Hongxuan, he lowered his head and closed his eyes, and after a long sigh of relief, he slowly raised his head, looked at Xiang Hongxuan, and told the story of the year.
...................................................................................................................
Xiang Hongxuan strode into Qingfeng Garden, he broke into the west chamber like a gust of wind, and the palace people knelt aside in surprise, but Xiang Hongxuan didn't seem to see these palace people who saluted, and walked straight to the inner room.
Aunt Yan was coming out of the inner room, she saw Xiang Hongxuan angrily walking into the house, she immediately knelt on the ground, Xiang Hongxuan glanced at the inner room, and did not see Ling Xi, he asked unhappily, "What about the queen?" ”
Even if Aunt Yan didn't look at Hongxuan's face, she knew that Xiang Hongxuan's face was full of displeasure at the moment, and she said cautiously: "The queen mother just fell asleep in the side room, and after the third prince went, the mother always woke up at night, only in the side room, the room where His Royal Highness the Third Prince slept, Niangniang could sleep a little peacefully. ”
Xiang Hongxuan snorted at the tip of his nose and said disdainfully: "Go wake up the queen, I have something to ask the queen." ”
Aunt Yan didn't dare to stay, and immediately walked to the side room, Xiang Hongxuan stood at the door, a gust of cold wind blew, but he didn't feel the cold of this harsh winter at all, and the fried heat in his heart at this moment had already burned his angry eyes.
Suddenly, a piece of rice paper floated through the house, rolled a few times in the cold wind, and landed impartially at Xiang Hongxuan's feet. Xiang Hongxuan leaned over and picked up the rice paper, after glancing at the rice paper, his body trembled slightly, he recognized that this was Ling Xi's word, and he muttered to himself: "
Closest relatives to distant couples. ”
Xiang Hongxuan held the hand of the rice paper, and gradually crumpled the rice paper into a ball, he glanced at the direction of the side room with deep eyes, the sound of a bang sounded, the door was blown in the cold wind, Xiang Hongxuan's nose was red, he couldn't help but bow his head, and silently turned around and left Qingfeng Yuan.
Ling Xi wrapped her robe and strode towards the wing, but after she arrived, she didn't see Xiang Hongxuan, Aunt An just walked to the door, Ling Xi walked quickly to Aunt Yan's side and asked, "Where is Your Majesty?" ”
"Your Majesty has already left Qingfeng Yuan."
Ling Xi frowned, Xiang Hongxuan hadn't been to Qingfeng Yuan for a long time, today Xiang Hongxuan came suddenly, and he walked even more bizarrely, Ling Xi looked at Aunt Yan and asked puzzledly, "Do you know what happened?" ”
Aunt Yan leaned close to Ling Xi's ear and whispered, "In the afternoon, Your Majesty summoned Imperial Physician Chen in the Flying Feather Palace, and also specially dismissed the palace people in the Flying Feather Palace. ”
Ling Xi was stunned, she looked thoughtful, she inadvertently walked out of the house, she walked to the courtyard, looking at the thick ice on the ground, the cold of midwinter is self-evident, Ling Xi stepped on the ice on the ground with her feet, it was really strong, she wanted to freeze three feet not a day's cold.
Aunt Yan came to Ling Xi's side, she reached out to support Ling Xi's arm, and inadvertently she touched Ling Xi's palm, Ling Xi's hand was cold, like falling into an ice cave, Aunt Yan said distressedly: "Niangniang, it's too cold outside, let's go into the house." ”
"It's cold and my heart is cold." Ling Xi said faintly.
