Chapter 206: The Real Murderer
Chunjia was stunned for a moment and blurted out: "The queen mother means...... Lu's? ”
"The regent's step-concubine may not have this ability." Empress Dowager Yuan shook her head and said, "Otherwise, everyone who can't tolerate the prince will know about it, but the prince is still doing well, and the mourning family thinks that the emperor is afraid that he will hit the wrong person by mistake and really find the right murderer - this kind of thing is only possible for Lu Chuncao to help her." ”
"......" Chunjia groaned, according to the conclusion of the Imperial City Division, there is no doubt that the real culprit is either the regent or the prince of the regent, but he asked Sun Yu to process the evidence and point it to Lu Chuncao.
This was because he didn't know that the regent had joined forces with the Queen Mother, and he felt that it was not the time to directly tear his face with Uncle Cheap.
It's better to take a step back and press Lu Chuncao's father and daughter to death first.
As a result, when the Queen Mother said this, the emperor also felt that after deducting the Empress Dowager Yuan, the remnants of the Ji family, the father and son of the regent, Yun Fenghuang himself, and himself, the only one who could almost poison Concubine Xian to death in the Huanhua Palace was Lu Chuncao.
As one of the two powerful eunuchs of the dynasty, Lu Chuncao's power in the inner court is greater than that of Zheng Gu.
This is because Zheng Gu was born as the godson of the previous commander of the forbidden army, and he spent more time in the forbidden army camp than in the inner court.
His power in the palace cannot be said to be no, but compared to Lu Chuncao, who has served the concubine Ji Sheng, Emperor Xiaozong, and the marquis before the palace, it is far behind.
This is also the reason why Zheng Shangchu was killed by the three corpse insects at the beginning, but he couldn't find out the clues, and he couldn't look at it until he died.
"But Lu Chuncao shouldn't be so unwise." Chun Jia pondered for a moment and said slowly, "If it is Lu Jifei, it is possible to do this." ”
Lu Jifei instructed the secret son placed in front of Concubine Xian by the Imperial City Division to poison Concubine Xian, which was nothing more than to provoke the relationship between Gongxiangxiao and Qi Jiulu, and at the same time make Gongxiangxiao disliked by the regent and make room for his own son...... But this is from her personal standpoint.
For the entire Regent Palace, Qi Jiulu's value is undoubted, and it is not worth settling with him for such a thing.
Especially the second son of the regent is still young, and he is useless on many occasions, so he can't be pushed to the front so early.
Lu Chuncao is not Lu Jifei, even if he prefers his grandson, he has to consider the interests of the entire regent's palace, after all, he and the regent are grasshoppers on a rope, the regent has fallen, even if his grandson becomes the son, what good end can he have?
Empress Dowager Yuan thought about it, sighed, and frowned: "Then this matter...... Is it really going to be an unsolved case? In the deep palace, the emperor personally checked and didn't find any clues, so can we rest assured that we will eat in the future? ”
"Although Concubine Xian is awake now, her spirit is still very poor, and she can't speak for a while." Chunjia thought for a moment and comforted her, "Maybe in two days, she can have a clue herself?" She is a delicate person, and whenever there is wind and grass in the Xuanqing Palace, we may not be able to understand it thoroughly, and the palace people under her don't know the severity and may not be able to say it thoroughly, but she should know it in her heart. ”
Concubine Yunxian's record
persuaded Empress Dowager Yuan: "Then I hope she recovers soon." ”
That's really unwilling......
But Empress Dowager Yuan was no longer reconciled, and Yun Fenghuang still got better day by day.
Of course, it wasn't fast - she was able to sit up and talk to Chunjia and the others for a long time, and it was already the day before the wedding of the two eldest princesses Yun'an and Sui'an.
Speaking of which, these two eldest princesses are also sad, originally Chunjia decided their marriage even if he made a promise, whether it was a decline or a marriage, he didn't intend to wronged them, and even wanted to be extraordinarily promoted.
Who knew that the concubine Xian was in danger of dying, the empress dowager joined hands with the regent to attack Chunjia, the civil war of the Gongxiang clan was coming, and the harem was full of rumors, who would care about the wedding of the two eldest princesses?
Although it was still prepared according to the rules, the dowry was indeed given more, and the regulations were indeed raised, except for the eldest princess herself, everyone else was basically absent-minded.
Even if the two prospective grooms, it is estimated that their minds are revolving around the temple and the virtuous concubine.
However, Yun'an and Sui'an didn't care about complaining, and even under the advice of their respective biological mothers, they also came to visit Huanhua Hall on this day, and said a few words to Yunfenghuan, "Niangniang is really a lucky person, and she has her own natural appearance" and "If you don't die, you will have a blessing".
When they left, Chunjia saw that Yun Fenghuan's face was tired, so he said distressedly: "Ah Huang is not well yet, just now I should have let the palace people tell them that you are resting." Anyway, after they descend, they will have the opportunity to enter the palace to greet you, so why bother to be tired at this time? ”
"Didn't the Empress Dowager get it?" Yun Fenghuang sighed weakly, "I forced Her Royal Highness Princess Minghui to come out and take the blame, you said that these two are sisters with Princess Minghui, since Princess Minghui is suspected of murdering me, can they not endanger themselves?" Tomorrow is about to fall, and I received a message to come to greet me, but I hid and disappeared, and I didn't know how to think about it when I went back...... These two are also miserable, and a few words can't make them uncomfortable. ”
"You're always thinking about other people." Chunjia was silent when he said this, feeling that something was wrong...... Forget it, it's all said, let's just take it as it is.
After all, Concubine Xian stood in someone else's position and thought carefully after pheating people, so she always thinks about others, right?
Thinking for others doesn't have to be self-denial......
Chunjia skillfully persuaded herself, and continued with a dry cough, "I gave them a lot of makeup, isn't this better than the intimacy on the scene?" What else is there to think about. ”
Yun Fenghuan knew what to say at this time, and he liked to listen: "They came to visit me like this, didn't they know that you were good to me?" Otherwise, why didn't I see them greet the other concubines? ”
Sure enough, Chunjia laughed: "I'm not good for you, good for whom?" ”
The two of them were tired of being crooked for a while, and Yun Fenghuang asked him why he wanted to keep Xie Meng Xie and excuse himself: "I was really shocked when I opened my eyes and saw them, and I thought that something happened at home and I could only send them to the palace." ”
“…… Don't you think you like the two of them a lot, so you stay with you? Chun Jia's face was a little bit when he heard this
Strange, but quickly covered up, and said gently, "It's more comfortable to think that you have your niece by your side at this time." ”
Yun Fenghuan recalled the knot in his son's fate, and it was not easy to say that he was to these two nieces, in fact, he teased them when he was idle and couldn't remember them at all when he was busy: "Wouldn't it be inconvenient?" After all, it's not in line. ”
"What's wrong with it, the palace can't afford to raise two children?" Chunjia didn't care and said, "The queen mother said that it's good to have them with you to get better early, who else dares to have an opinion?" Whoever has an opinion you let people come to me! ”
Yun Fenghuang pursed his lips and smiled, and said to him: "Ah Ji is becoming more and more domineering, not like when I first entered the palace." ”
Chunjia lowered her head and kissed her cheek, and said with a smile: "Oh? Then do you like me when you entered the palace, or do you like me here? ”
"Of course it's you at this time, when I just entered the palace, you were someone's Jilang!" Yun Fenghuang snorted, "What's the matter with me then?" ”
"You're jealous!" Chunjia couldn't cry or laugh, teased her a few more words, and finally remembered what was going on, so he roughly said the message of the Imperial City Division, and asked her if she had any doubts about this poisoning?
Yun Fenghuang frowned and said: "Maybe it's because of poisoning, I woke up and slept in the past two days, and my memory has been much worse......"
She pinched the corners of her forehead as she spoke, and it seemed that there was still some pain, so Chunjia raised her hand to help her rub it, which the doctor also said, because the poisoning is relatively deep, it is a blessing to be able to pick up a life, and it is really difficult to avoid a headache or brain fever.
Yun Fenghuang breathed a sigh of relief, and only then did he continue weakly, "Recalling the details of the day of the poisoning, I can't remember many places. But His Majesty said that it was Liuhong who started it, and I always felt that it was ...... What's not quite right? If the real culprit is the regent palace, then why did they wait until the Imperial City Division found out the details of the rainbow, and His Majesty revealed it in the court, and then proposed Princess Minghui to be a shield? ”
"Why don't you take the lead in making trouble when you are still guarding me in the Huanhua Hall and have no time to take care of him, didn't you just take you by surprise when the time came?"
“…… Also. Chunjia felt that Liuhong's suspicion here was just an intuition, he could be said to be in internal and external difficulties these days, and his own energy was involved by all parties, so he was not as good as being clear and sensitive, and he woke up after being reminded by Yun Fenghuang, and bowed his head slightly, the regent should not know Liuhong, or he didn't expect it to be Liuhong, otherwise he had no reason not to start first.
The reason why he was able to refute on the spot at the court meeting and bring out the eldest princess Minghui was mostly because the regent suspected that Concubine Xian's poisoning was a conspiracy against him early on.
After all, after the fall of the Ji family, it was only a matter of time before the uncle and nephew turned their faces.
At this time, the shrewd and capable concubine who was deeply favored by the emperor was suddenly poisoned, and it was normal for the regent to be on guard, because he joined forces with the empress dowager and prepared in advance.
Chunjia didn't look for him, and he wouldn't be unprepared if he looked for him.
The emperor thought for a while and asked Yun Fenghuan: "Then who do you think is the most suspicious?" No evidence is needed, just speculation. ”
Yun Fenghuang held the corner of his forehead and was embarrassed: "This ......
It's really hard to guess without evidence, after all, you also know that there are really few people I haven't offended in this palace, that is, the previous dynasty, although I can't say that I don't like it all, but because I don't have a father and brother to help me speak, ordinary courtiers may not have a good impression of me. Besides, to be honest, who doesn't want to be favored by Ah Ji for themselves or their daughter? Even if I haven't offended, I may not have stood in their way! ”
“…… The Rocks do have the intention of murdering you, but as far as I know, they haven't had time to do it yet. Chunjia hesitated, but still told her, "Neither is the queen mother, and it shouldn't be the remnants of the Ji family...... I was suspicious of Lu Chuncao with my mother, but I didn't think he would be so confused. Now that I think about it, I don't have a clue. ”
When Yun Fenghuang heard this, he turned his head to look at him, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty doubts...... Is it a concubine who is willing to go out to make a bitter meat scheme? ”
"Nothing." She even changed her title, and Chunjia hurriedly explained, "The imperial doctor told me clearly, you have been blessed by the first emperor of the Liedai to pick up a life this time, how can it be a bitter plan?!" ”
Yun Fenghuang snorted and said, "Maybe the concubine has a magic method similar to the three corpse insects, which can ensure that there is no danger after drinking a lot of poisoned tea?" ”
"You have such a powerful way to scare me a long time ago, and you can still survive now?" Chunjia hugged her and coaxed, "Don't make trouble, I'm not worried that I won't be able to find the real culprit, and you will suffer again next time?" ”
"When you say this, you are laughing at me for coming from a humble background." Yun Fenghuan pushed him unhappily, and said hatefully, "I think my Xie family's lintel is low, and I don't deserve any secret recipes!" ”
Chunjia smiled and said, "What's the matter?" I haven't heard of the magic method you said, have I? Even the Ji family didn't estimate it, otherwise the Empress Dowager would have used it to blackmail me a long time ago...... Look at your suspiciousness, I didn't say anything, and you got into trouble. It's okay to make trouble usually, you haven't done it all now, where can you stop tossing? ”
After some reassurance, Yun Fenghuang finally quieted down, and before the two of them could say something, there was a movement of kicking and tapping outside, followed by Xie Mengyu and shouting happily: "Auntie, aunt!" Are you awake? See what we've brought you? ”
Chun Jia frowned, and was about to ask her to be quiet, but Yun Fenghuang had already called the two of them in a soft voice: "What did you bring here?" ”
Xie Meng smiled and rushed to the couch and stuffed a pastry for her: "The cook only came up with it in the past two days, but it's delicious." ”
Behind her, Xie Kuo bowed in a proper manner, and blessed Chunjia alone, and then added softly: "Auntie, there are a lot of medicinal materials that replenish qi and benefit the yuan, which is very nourishing." ”
Chunjia is now very sensitive to eating, and when he heard this, he picked up the pastries in Yun Fenghuang's hand and looked at them, and said to them: "Your filial piety is commendable, but your aunt is not yet well, and she is still drinking medicine. ”
Although Concubine Xian's own niece is unlikely to murder her, the Qingren who served tea to Concubine Xian that day didn't have the idea of murdering her master, right?
If the real murderer doesn't come out for a day, he has to do it
Defend.
"Your Majesty, don't worry, it should be fine." Xie Meng confidently told him, "Nian Xuan also told me that the medicine is conflicting, so I will drink a few sips of my aunt's medicine these two days, and then taste this pastry, and there will be nothing wrong in the past two days, so my aunt will definitely be able to eat it." ”
She was also kind, "Auntie must be uncomfortable enough to eat medicine these days, how good can she be sweet?" ”
Chunjia noticed that the two corners of the pastry were torn off, and he raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why don't you bring something better over to your aunt?" ”
"This is the first time we have tasted it, I'm afraid it will be the same as last time." Xie Meng hadn't answered yet, this time Xie Kuo replied rarely, "We played in the yard for a while and didn't feel uncomfortable before bringing it to my aunt." ”
“…… Ah Huang's two nieces are really caring. Chunjia was slightly moved, reached out and touched her head, and said to Yun Fenghuan, "I see that when you are well, you can just stay and stay for a long time, and you can also be a companion for them to be a companion." ”
Yun Fenghuang glanced at the two nieces and smiled, "It's okay." ”
Xie Meng didn't feel anything, because she always thought that her return to her parents was only temporary, and she would definitely come back to accompany her aunt, but Xie Kuo tried to hide her joy, lowered her head, and her posture was more docile and well-behaved.
Chunjia didn't let Yun Fenghuang eat the pastry this day, and said that he was going to go to the imperial doctor to see it, after all, although Xie Meng used himself to do the test, but the human physique is different, plus Xie Meng is alive and kicking, maybe she will be fine after eating, but Yun Fenghuang can't stand it?
After he left, Yun Fenghuang also sent his two nieces neatly, and only called the Qing people to stay and listen to the instructions.
There were two masters and servants in the dormitory, and Qingren still cautiously leaned into her ear and asked in a low voice: "Niangniang, Your Majesty?" ”
"He shouldn't have doubted it." Yun Fenghuang's voice was very soft and cold, "So you should also be angry, don't be so afraid, a few days ago, when the Japanese palace was still angry, you can still interpret it as worrying about the palace and your future, and now the palace is almost alive, shouldn't you, as a loyal servant, be happy?" ”
Qingren swallowed his saliva, lowered his head and said, "...... Be. ”
"Can the rainbow be disposed of cleanly?" Yun Fenghuang snorted and asked, "What's the end?" ”
Seeing that Qingren nodded, she was not at ease, so she said a lot of details, and after thinking about it carefully, she bowed her head, "Then it should be fine...... It's a pity that His Majesty just mentioned the Queen Mother, and he doesn't seem to suspect her. I don't know what means he used to explain it clearly? This kind of feudal princess who has never been taken seriously is really not so easy to deal with, so she can get out, alas! ”
Qingren stubbornly persuaded her: "It doesn't matter if you are a mother, there will be a next time." ”
"It won't be possible to do this next time, otherwise would you be stupid to be Your Majesty?" Yun Fenghuang snorted, "However, the matter of the four families should be able to pass...... Catch Ming'er and tell the family that all school-age children should study well in this palace! If you really can't read it, you can practice martial arts! In any case, the Xie family will be revitalized by the main palace! ”
"If you can't do it, you can't just die early!"
"Otherwise
Is the Xie family not angry, and this palace suffers this crime in order to avoid the edge of the four families? ! ”
"Yes, yes, the mother has been wronged." Qingren whispered, "The family is very motivated now, and they won't disgrace you." ”
Yun Fenghuang sneered: "Shame? If they don't work hard and seize the time to increase their momentum, they may lose not face but their lives in the future! ”
"Take this incident as an example, if it weren't for the quick reaction of this palace and the preparation in advance...... Do you think that this sin can be solved by this palace?! ”
Qing Daodao: "Niangniang's clever ......"
"That's forced helplessness!" Yun Fenghuang said angrily, "If you can, you don't want to be like the former queen and bully people with your family background closed?!" Who told the Xie family that he couldn't keep up with the promotion of the palace, and he had to be pulled out by the palace?! Now that Bengong has given them enough opportunities, if they don't know how to cherish and don't know how to hurry, don't blame Bengong for turning his head to find the Yun family! ”
"Niangniang, don't worry, there is no slack in the family's plan, they all feel sorry for Niangniang, and they all want to share your worries and solve problems." Qingren persuaded for a while, wanting to divert her attention, "Speaking of which, Your Majesty is really good to you, you don't know, Miss Meng was not sensible at that time, and when His Majesty asked them to retire and wanted to stay with you, Mrs. Xie was frightened!" ”
But in the end, His Majesty not only did not blame Miss Meng's recklessness, but also stayed with Miss Kuo...... It can be seen that I am interested in you! ”
After saying this, he saw Yun Fenghuan showing a subtle expression, and said with a smile: "You really think that he left the two children in order to relieve the boredom of the palace?" ”
