Chapter 510: Concubine Wen's ghost reappears
He was not happy to eat a lunch, or rather, King Hui was very unhappy, he relied on his memory to make a lot of food that his mother didn't like or even hated, but the one in front of him was indeed very happy.
This proves everything that King Rui said, touched the beads in his sleeves, King Hui smiled bitterly in his heart, it was really different, the beads that the fifteenth brother could not touch, he could indeed put them on his body at will.
"Mother, this snake meat is delicious, I will eat it tomorrow." The fifteenth prince said coquettishly.
"If you like it, eat more, and let your sixth brother send it again tomorrow." Concubine Xi dotingly touched the head of the fifteenth prince and said.
This scene of filial piety of mother and son, King Hui was very uncomfortable when he saw it, and the fifteenth prince liked to eat, so let him send it? And what about the people he cares about? His mother will never return.
King Hui took the bead and checked it repeatedly on the way home, but he couldn't see anything special about the bead at all.
This is just an ordinary bead, why is this concubine so harsh to let the fifteenth prince discard, Xiyuan has been abandoned for many years, and no one has gone to ......
King Hui seemed to have thought of something, and after putting the beads away, he returned to the palace.
"Come on, go to King Rui's Mansion and invite King Rui to come, as well as Prince Yun Zheng." King Hui said hurriedly.
"Yes, lord." King Hui's cronies received the order.
About an hour later, King Rui and Yun Zheng rode over.
As soon as he saw the two of them, King Hui took out the bead and put it in the palm of his hand, "Young Master Yun, look at what this thing is." ”
Yun Zheng picked up the beads and looked at them carefully, "This seems to be the dregs of the medicine that condensed after refining things." But what exactly it is, I don't know yet, I need to dissolve to know. ”
"Come on, prepare a bowl of water." King Hui hurriedly commanded.
"Please ask the prince to find Miss Ah Nian next to the princess, Miss Ah Nian knows more about Gu poison than Yun Zheng." Yun Zheng said lightly.
"Okay, come on, go and call Ah Nian." Hui Dynasty shouted outside the door.
After a cup of tea, Ah Nian came to King Hui's study, King Hui handed over the beads to Ah Nian, Ah Nian looked at it again and again, the answer was the same as Yun Zheng, the beads needed to be dissolved before they could figure out what it was.
The most terrible thing finally happened, when the bead was dissolved, there were many eggs surging, and then several worms crawled out of it.
Ah Nian hurriedly stepped forward and trampled those insects to death, and poured the eggs in the bowl into the charcoal fire on the side.
The eggs fell into the fire, making a crackling sound, accompanied by an unpleasant stench.
"What the hell is this?" King Hui said with an ugly face.
Not only King Hui, but even King Rui, who had been through a hundred battles, looked extremely ugly, they had never seen such a thing, who would have thought that a seemingly ordinary bead would have such a terrible thing in it.
"Back to the prince, this is the condensation of those insects and corpse oil after the Gu master refined the Gu poison. It can also be used as a medicine guide for the next Gu. Ah Nian said respectfully.
"It's so dangerous, no wonder she doesn't allow her son to take it with her." King Hui said indignantly.
Her son is a baby and a heart, so is everyone else a mustard? This Concubine Xi is really too vicious. Perhaps, this bead was originally meant to be given to himself, but he gave it clearly, and he was afraid that he would be suspicious, so he designed such a scene.
Since Xiyuan has been abandoned for many years, and the fifteenth prince is her treasure, if Xiyuan is in danger, how can she be willing to let her son go?
Thinking of this, King Hui's hatred for Concubine Xi has another layer, originally when she was not sure that she was a fake, she just complained about her ill-fated life, but now it seems that this ill-fated day was imposed on her by people for her own selfish desires.
"Who doesn't let anyone's son take it with him?" Ah Nian wondered.
"It's nothing, you go back and take good care of the princess, don't let her be harmed again." King Hui said lightly.
"Yes, lord." Ah Nian saluted respectfully and turned to leave.
After Ah Nian left, King Rui looked at King Hui and said, "Sixth brother, you have to learn to control your emotions, Fifth Brother knows that you are in pain now, but if you show too much, you will give the enemy a chance." ”
"Fifth brother, I understand what you said, I was too impulsive just now. I have learned to control my emotions, and for the sake of my poor mother, I must also control my emotions. And ...... "King Hui really didn't know what to say for a while, originally King Rui helped him find out about Concubine Xi, and he had already helped him a lot, and there was really no way to ask for too much for other things."
"If you have anything to say, just say it, why are you still spitting." Rui Wang said lightly.
"Fifth brother, my question may be a bit excessive...... but I ......"
"Do you want to ask, where is the tomb of your own mother?" King Rui looked at King Hui and said lightly.
"Yes, Fifth Brother, can you tell me? Isn't it miserable? King Hui said a little sadly.
"Your own mother was buried on a local mountain, and after so many years, the tomb collapsed and the coffin inside was rotten. However, I have already asked people to choose a new place to be buried, but unfortunately, she may not be able to be worshiped as an imperial concubine in her life. King Rui sighed.
Hearing King Rui say this, King Hui nodded, and said with a sour nose: "Fifth brother, thank you, you have done a lot, even if my mother concubine can't enter the imperial mausoleum, it is enough to have a good place to be buried and let me worship from time to time." ”
In King Hui's heart, her mother should be very yearning for a comfortable life outside the palace, otherwise how would she think about going home to save her relatives and live for a few days. If she is a person who is greedy for wealth and wealth, how could she recognize her twin sister and be killed by her in the end.
It was night, and it was snowing heavily, and everyone was huddled in the house, not wanting to move, but the guards who were patrolling the palace at night were still wearing cloaks and walking in the snowy night.
The moonlight sprinkled on the snow, reflecting the palace like a fairyland, at this moment, a yin wind blew through the palace of Concubine Xi, and a white shadow shook in the courtyard and disappeared.
The guards who were patrolling the night rushed over when they saw this, but found nothing. They all thought of a legend in the palace, that is, Concubine Wen's ghost asked for her life.
Although, King Rui said before that there is no such thing as a mess in this world, but if there is really none, how can strange things happen from time to time.
This gust of wind soon reached the ears of the emperor, and it was these strange things that the emperor hated when he did it. made the originally peaceful harem suddenly panic.
"Someone, go to King Rui's mansion and call King Rui to me." The emperor said in a deep voice.
"Yes, the emperor, the slave has already sent someone to invite, it is difficult to walk on the snowy road, the emperor, please have a cup of tea and wait." Zhang Qing smiled and touched the teacup in front of the emperor.
The emperor took the teacup and took a sip, "Zhang Qing, you said that this Concubine Wen has been dead for so many years, and besides, her affairs have been in the past for many years, why are there always people mentioning it recently." ”
"If you go back to the emperor, hasn't King Rui already found out before, is someone pretending to be Concubine Wen and trying to poison Princess Hui?" Zhang Qing said with a smile.
"I want to listen to what is in your heart, not to prevaricate with me." The Emperor said angrily.
"Your Majesty, the slave thinks, this is someone trying to cover up something in the name of Concubine Wen, didn't Concubine Wen's ghost go to Concubine Xi's palace? Where in this world can there be such a coincidence, maybe, someone knows what Concubine Xi is doing. Zhang Qing said lightly.
Hearing this, the emperor glanced at Zhang Qing, and then nodded with satisfaction, this old thing finally told the truth.
"You old thing, keep talking." The emperor has a good time.
"Your Majesty, the servant heard that this Concubine Xi has eaten a lot of snake meat recently, and she was sent to the palace by King Hui." Zhang Qing said lightly.
"It's just snake meat, what's the big deal?" The emperor didn't care.
Perhaps, the emperor has long forgotten that the real Concubine Xi can't eat cold things at all, and snake meat is already cold food, how could she eat it without dying.
"Your Majesty, you forgot that Concubine Xi was sick before, and the imperial doctor said that she can't eat cold things." Zhang Qing said lightly.
"Oh, I remembered when you said that, but what's the big deal? Perhaps, after all these years of recuperation, she will be able to eat? It's not a big deal after all, just eat it if you like. The emperor waved his hand.
He doesn't have much affection for Concubine Xi, but the fifteenth prince is his son, and he still cares about his son.
"The Emperor's ......"
"What the hell are you going to say?" The emperor said impatiently.
"It's nothing, the minion just thinks it's a little strange, this person's physique is not so easy to change." Zhang Qing said softly.
King Rui had told him before that he wanted to tell the emperor about Concubine Xi's eating of snake meat, but he didn't expect that the emperor didn't care about these things at all.
King Rui is full of eyeliner in the palace, even if King Hui doesn't say it, he knows everything that happens in the palace, but sometimes many things are not easy to expose early.
"King Rui arrives at the ......" With the singing of the little eunuch outside the door, King Rui walked in with a big coat.
"Son-in-law, see father." King Rui saluted respectfully.
"Well, get up, let's not be so polite either." The emperor said with a smile.
"Father, this should be etiquette, and there must still be one. The son did not dare to cross the rules. King Rui said with a smile.
"You kid......" The emperor smiled and pointed to King Rui.
"Father, you summoned your son here, but do you have anything to order?" Rui Wang said lightly.
"I'm in such a hurry to call you, it's not all because of those old things in the palace, last night, the guards who patrolled the night saw Concubine Wen's ghost again, this matter has been settled for many years, and recently it has made trouble again, don't you kill it, it's just that someone borrowed the name of Concubine Wen to harm Princess Hui, I want other answers, an answer that can make everyone in the palace feel at ease."
"Father, if you dig deeper, maybe bad things will be revealed, and the result may not be what your father wants to see." King Rui said in a deep voice.
"So, you have a clue? No matter what, I want you to find out, I want to give you a clean harem. The emperor said with a firm look in his eyes.
Since the emperor has said that he will bear any result, then he can push the plan one step further.
