When Liuyu came back from his errands, he asked Pei Yuan for instructions in the imperial study: "Dali Temple asked those two people how to deal with it?" ”

Pei Yuanyuan didn't lift it, and the wolf howl under his hands didn't let go: "This little thing still needs to be asked?" Just cut it off. ”

"The subordinates also said the same," Liuyu said with a smile, "but the people of Dali Temple still want to follow the rules, saying that they will wait until next autumn to ask for beheading." The subordinate thought that he would suffer in prison anyway, so he agreed. ”

Pei Yuan nodded, and Liuyu said again: "When the subordinates came back, Lord Huangqi was still kneeling outside, will the emperor still see you today?" ”

Huang Qi wanted to ask Pei Yuan for the crime, and as the imperial doctor, he naturally couldn't completely blame the murderer for such a big matter, he knew in his heart that although Pei Yuan didn't say it explicitly, it didn't mean that the matter was over.

Pei Yuan finally put down the wolf howl in his hand: "Let him in, it's not good to always kneel when he's old." ”

As soon as Huang Qi came in, he continued to kneel, he leaned over the ground and pleaded with Pei Yuan: "Wechen is guilty, although the murderer has been punished, but this matter is because Wechen did not close the people below, which caused a big mistake, and asked the emperor to punish him." ”

"Okay, it's not your fault in this matter, it's just that Your Majesty is not strict." Pei Yuan pondered for a moment, "For the sake of making up for your merits, punishing you for half a year can be regarded as a warning to the Imperial Doctor's Department." ”

Huang Qi kowtowed and thanked him: "Weichen, thank you Emperor Longen." ”

Pei Yuan asked Huang Qi to wait for a while, and waited until he finished reading the recital in his hand before he said: "You go with me to show the queen mother, although the previous amount is not much, but it is better to be careful." ”

Huang Qi checked Shen Jiahe's pulse, and after making sure that there were no residual toxins in his body, he reported to the emperor with confidence: "Fortunately, the emperor found it in time, and the queen's body is fine, please rest assured." ”

After drinking it for a few days, Shen Jiahe felt that the decoction of the past two days was a little different from the previous one, but he couldn't tell what was the difference, and after listening to Pei Yuan's explanation, he suddenly realized: "No wonder I don't think the medicine is bitter, and when I drink the medicine today, I complained to Bai Ying that the medicine boiled in the small kitchen has become bitter again." It turns out that there are so many things in it. ”

Pei Yuan brought the medicine that Huang Qi had just boiled in front of her: "It's all over anyway, you don't have to worry about it." ”

Shen Jiahe pinched his nose: "Then can I stop drinking this medicine?" ”

Pei Yuan scooped up a spoonful with a spoon and blew it carefully: "No, come, be good, you don't need to drink anymore when you get better, you also want to be well, so let's play with the children earlier." ”

Shen Jiahe pinched his nose and swallowed reluctantly, and then his whole face wrinkled, and when he saw Pei Yuan scooping another spoonful and sending it over, he hurriedly took the medicine cup in his hand: "Instead of taking it slowly like this, it is better to solve it at once." ”

After pouring a bowl of medicine, Shen Jiahe said with a bitter face: "I'm thinking it's better to add some ingredients, at least it's not so unpleasant." ”

Pei Yuan said helplessly: "That's poison, what are you talking about!" ”

Shen Jiahe sighed: "Speaking of which, I never thought that Yan Yao would still hold a grudge against me, it is difficult to be a good person, if you want to be a good person recognized by everyone, it will be too difficult." ”

"It's not a pity for such a person to die, and you don't have to be sad for him." Pei Yuan put down the medicine cup and twisted a handkerchief for Shen Jiahe to wipe her face. "Now that the person has been sent to Dali Temple, there will be no chance to hurt you again."

"Things I didn't even notice myself, I actually let you see." Shen Jiahe snuggled in Pei Yuan's arms and said gratefully, "I'm busy with national affairs all day long, and I still have time to take care of me, which really bothers you." ”

Pei Yuan combed Shen Jiahe's green silk with his hand, and said with a smile: "Even if you are busy, as long as it is your business, I will pay attention to it, and I will deal with it personally, and I will not worry about handing it over to anyone." ”

Huang Qi wanted to come in and ask the queen mother for another crime, but listening to the whispers inside, he still bowed down and retreated, and wanted to go back to the imperial doctor's office directly, but walking on the road, he suddenly remembered that he had been busy dealing with the queen's affairs for the past two days, and he actually forgot to go to the queen mother to ask for peace.

While walking towards Jiuluan Palace, he asked the medicine boy who followed him: "I haven't been there for a few days, and there are no palace people in Jiuluan Palace to invite people?" ”

The little medicine boy replied with a small step: "No, I'm afraid that the Queen Mother is sick and bedridden now, and the palace people are not satisfied." ”

Huang Qi shook his head, he used to be a person who covered the sky in the harem, and the loss of power was just a matter of a moment, I don't know what the Queen Mother would think when she was lying on the bed.

Seeing that the virgin girl who originally served the Queen Mother was not there, Huang Qi frowned and asked, "Where did the palace maid who originally served the Queen Mother go?" I also want to ask her about the Empress Dowager's recent visit, and you should go to her quickly. ”

As soon as he said this, all the palace people knelt down with a pop, and one of them cried: "The imperial doctor, the queen mother is gone!" ”

Huang Qi was shocked: "When did it happen?" ”

The grandmother cried and said, "It's been a few days! ”

Huang Qi's steps were unsteady, his body shook and finally stood firm with the support of the little medicine boy behind him, he only noticed the slightest smell in the air, originally he thought it was a mixture of aromatherapy and medicinal smell in Jiuluan Palace, but now he could tell that it was mixed with the smell of corpses.

It's been a few days since this kind of weather, so it's no wonder if it's not smelly! Huang Qi settled down and hurriedly ordered: "Go and report to the emperor!" ”

The palace people went to the outside of the Jiuluan Palace in a panic, Huang Qi took the medicine boy to go inside boldly, the curtains were still down, and the sunlight and air were well isolated, the more inside, the more cool air came out, and when the last curtain was lifted, Huang Qi saw the queen mother surrounded by ice cubes and breathed a sigh of relief.

"These palace people are not stupid to the end, and they still know how to protect the body of the Queen Mother, otherwise I am afraid that they will not be able to hide it for so long." Huang Qi sighed and muttered to himself.

Pei Yuan stood up in shock when he heard the news: "What are you talking about!" "He hasn't heard the news from Jiuluan Palace for a while, but it's also because he's been busy with Shen Jiahe and his two children.

Pei Yuan suddenly remembered the assassin who assassinated Shen Jiahe that day, he was in a fit of rage at the time, and then Shen Jiahe was very dangerous, so he didn't go to investigate this matter in detail.

Pei Yuan put away the look on his face, and then entered the inner hall and said to Shen Jiahe: "I'm going to the imperial study to deal with some things, and I'll be back before dinner." ”

Pei Yuan instructed the chief manager to bring everyone in the Jiuluan Palace to the imperial study for questioning, Pei Yuan looked at the few grandmothers kneeling in front of him, and asked coldly: "There is such a big thing, you didn't come to tell you at the first time, you are all old people in the palace, you know what to blame!" ”

The close grandmother beside the Queen Mother knew what was going on and hurriedly kowtowed and confessed: "The slave is guilty, but when we found out, it was already a day and a night." ”

She looked at Pei Yuan's expression, shook her body and continued to explain: "Originally, the slave maid was to serve in close quarters, but then the queen mother was sick and didn't like many people, so she left only the virgin girl alone, the queen mother died, but all the things in the virgin room were gone, how could this matter be related to the virgin girl, we thought about how to catch the virgin girl and hand it over, so it dragged on for two days and did not report." ”

"When?" Pei Yuan frowned and asked.

The grandmother intended to relieve herself, and hurriedly said: "The little prince and the little princess died on the first day of their birth, and we found out on the day they were born. ”

It seems that the palace maid who was killed by her own sword was Zhenzhen, but she painted a lot of things on her face at that time, and she didn't recognize it at the first time.

Pei Yuan roughly guessed all the ins and outs, looked at these palace people in front of him and asked, "If you still have anything to say, tell it quickly, I don't have such good patience." ”

"No, the slave is really gone, the slave and maid have followed the Queen Mother for many years, and they will never hurt the Queen Mother." The previous grandmother kowtowed her head while constantly expressing her heart.

Pei Yuan said impatiently: "You should keep these words and tell the Queen Mother later, I just want to know if Zhenzhen still has an accomplice!" When people came, they all took me down and asked them carefully. ”

The chief steward led all the palace people to be locked in a courtyard of the Jiuluan Palace, and was personally interrogated by Liuyu, who held a whip with barbs and tapped it lightly in his hand, his eyes roaming back and forth in the group of people.

"One thing you are afraid is not clear, the night Zhenzhen disappeared, the queen mother was assassinated in the delivery room, why did she disappear in Jiuluan Palace, the emperor has obviously ordered Zhenzhen to be placed under house arrest in Jiuluan Palace, how can she come out?" Liuyu looked at them and asked word by word.

Everyone looked at each other in astonishment, in the Jiuluan Palace, they naturally didn't know about this matter, some people hurriedly knelt down and shouted grievances, and some people shouted loudly that this matter had nothing to do with them.

Liuyu watched a little eunuch kneeling at the back and trembling, his eyes kept staring at the ground, as if he was afraid of being discovered by someone.

He walked over without making two steps, grabbed the man's collar and pulled the person out: "Who is the surname, what is the matter, tell me honestly!" ”

"Small...... The small one is the handyman in the kitchen, and he has never been to the palace of the Queen Mother, right...... It's not clear about this matter. The man stumbled back.

Liuyu squinted at him, a drop of cold sweat slipped down his neck and down the collar, and he whipped it the ground: "You won't go to the Queen Mother's palace, but Zhenzhen can go to your small kitchen!" ”

Before the kneeling man could speak, someone in the circle of palace people immediately shouted: "Lord Guard, this kid knows that he likes the chastity girl next to the Queen Mother, and he has secretly sent food to the chaste girl several times." ”

The person in charge of the kitchen also came out and said: "It's true, this guy secretly allocated a share of the queen mother's food, just for the chaste girl, I caught him twice, and fined him for two months." ”

Liuyu looked at him with a sneer and sneered: "A eunuch still wants to learn how to fall in love? Don't say you're a little eunuch with no ability, you are the prince of the king, and the chastity with a heart higher than the sky can't look down on you, you know? ”

He knew, of course he knew, when he took things from the imperial dining room and came back to find no one, he already knew that he was being used by Zhenzhen, and later knew that the Queen Mother was dead, and the entire Jiuluan Palace was in chaos, he knew that his life was over.

He sat down on the ground, his eyes full of hatred and unwillingness, and then he prayed with his legs: "The slave didn't do anything, the slave really didn't do anything, she said she wanted to see the flowers in the royal garden, begged the slave to take her out to see it for a while, the slave believed, the slave believed the slut's words, I am innocent, I am innocent!" ”

"Ignoring the emperor's orders, you dare to say that you are innocent." Impatiently, he broke free of his legs, and ordered, "Someone will take this kid down, and then search his room to see if there are any other clues." ”

There were no clues about Zhenzhen, but the guards did find some women's jewelry, Liuyu held a ring, and patted the man's face: "She also gave you this thing, it seems that you not only want other people's beauty, but also don't let go of these things!" ”

The matter was finally clarified, and Liuyu went to tell Pei Yuan: "The accomplice has confessed, and his subordinates have come to ask for instructions on how to deal with it?" ”

"Throw him and Yan Yao together, Dali Temple knows what to do." Pei Yuandao.
