Chapter Seventy-Five: Injuries

Then Mu Zhu told the people present why the choreographed frost fell out of the palace and why he ventured back. After everyone heard this, there was a lot of discussion, and the emperor immediately ordered to bring frost to Fengwu Palace.

After a while, the frostfall was brought up.

"Slaves and maids knock to see the emperor, the queen, and the little masters." Frostfall kowtowed vigorously, as if that would alleviate her sins.

"Tell me everything you know, and if you hide a word, I'll cut off your head!" Duan Yulin's words were threatening.

"Slaves don't dare! The slaves and maids all said! It was Xiang Guifei who instructed the slave to poison Lan Guifei, and if the slave and maid did not obey her, she would kill the slave and the maid's family! Frost sobbed and accused Shen Xiaoxiang of all kinds of evil deeds that persecuted her, and every time she said a word, Shen Xiaoxiang's body trembled even more, and Shao Feixu also swallowed saliva frequently.

"! Even you dare to slander this palace? Look at Hongu and don't tear your mouth! Shen Xiaoxiang rushed up and was about to cover Frostfall's mouth, but Frostfall threw out an object from his cuff while struggling, and was quickly picked up by Fang Da's eyes. Fang Da presented the object, and Duan Yulin looked at it, but it was just an ordinary talisman. But when Shao Feixu saw the talisman, the whole person stiffened, she didn't expect that the frost fell and didn't destroy this thing!

"Stop! Tear in front of the emperor, what kind of system! Someone came and pulled the Hunan concubine away. Frostfall, what do you say it is? The two little eunuchs firmly controlled Shen Xiaoxiang, and the frost finally broke away from Shen Xiaoxiang's clutches, and his face was scratched with blood.

"Back to Your Majesty, this is the talisman that Concubine Lan has been wearing, and it was filled with cantharid powder by Concubine Xiang, in order to poison Concubine Lan. Concubine Xiang also instructed the slave maid to mix a little powder into her diet when Concubine Lan was about to give birth, so as to ensure that Concubine Lan's blood collapsed after giving birth...... "Frost fell while crying and kept kowtowing and begging for mercy.

Everyone was confused, and Feng Wu didn't know what to do, so he asked for everyone: "Isn't the talisman with poison in the hands of Ru Concubine?" Why did another one come out? Which is true and which is false? The queen summoned Wu Yin and asked her to identify: "Since it was a talisman made by you, come and identify it, which one is for Lan Guifei?" ”

Wu Yin carefully identified the two talismans, opened the talisman bag and smelled them, and soon had an answer: "If you go back to the queen, these two talismans look the same, but they are not." Please take a closer look, the talisman in the left hand of the grass man is embroidered with a small half-open flower, and there is only cantharid powder in it; The flower on the right is still a closed bony flower, with musk and castor beans added to it in addition to cantharids. The grass people gave the left one to Concubine Lan, and the one on the right...... It is like a concubine and a grass people. Wu Yin's words suddenly made the hall explode.

"Your Majesty! The concubine did not add castor beans and musk to it, these two flavored medicines are sharp weapons for hurting the fetus, the concubine has no intention of harming the fetus in Lan Guifei's womb, the concubine just wants her to die of blood after giving birth to the prince! It's like a concubine! It was she who changed the talisman of Concubine Lan and made their mother and son die! Shen Xiaoxiang knew that she couldn't hide it anymore, in that case, she also wanted to pull Shao Feixu to accompany the funeral! Shao Feixu saw that things were inevitable, and he was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground.

"Like a concubine! How do you explain that? Everyone immediately figured out the trick in this, and Duan Yulin also guessed that Shao Feixu took advantage of that small gathering to steal Fang Huanshan's talisman, but there were a lot of poisons in the talisman in the past!

The concubine didn't know why her amulet was filled with poison and fell into the hands of Frostfall. It must have been done by Concubine Xiang! She knew that she was guilty of death and wanted to pull the concubine back! Shao Feixu also decided to fight to the death, anyway, Shen Xiaoxiang's crime was conclusive, so he simply pushed her all down.

"Phew, poisonous woman, don't you want this palace to carry the black pot for you!" Shen Xiaoxiang died and did not forget to fight for a word.

Mu Zhu watched the two eat the dog, and couldn't help laughing in her heart, she interrupted the two of them to pass the buck to each other: "The concubine's words are not finished yet!" Duan Yulin ordered the eunuch to plug the mouths of Shen and Shao, and motioned for Mu Zhu to continue. Mu Zhu kowtowed again and continued: "The concubine also wants to accuse the concubine of killing Meng Cairen. ”

"Presumptuous! One by one, you expose and report each other, I don't know how many lives are still in vain in this harem? Queen, this is the harem you manage? Duan Yulin finally broke out and swept all the tea sets in his hand to the ground. Everyone was frightened, and Feng Wu took the lead in kneeling down to plead guilty. Duan Yulin was so angry that he finally calmed down, pointed at Mu Zhu and the concubines and said, "You! You guys! Say everything you want to say at once! I want to see how many pickled things are still hidden in this harem! ”

Mu Zhu trembled and told Xiao Hang about the murder of Meng Xiruo, and invited Bang Xin, Xiao Hang and several other servants to testify; Xiao Hang submitted his autopsy record, and several other servants agreed with the record; And under the coercion of Duan Yulin, Xiao Xiazi, who couldn't help but intimidate, summoned the truth. At this point, the crime of murdering Meng Cairen by Concubine Ru has been confirmed.

"Yes, yes! I didn't expect that among my concubines were some femme fatales! Come on, send these two poisonous women to the court prison and wait for the fate! Drive back to the palace. Duan Yulin angrily left Fengwu Palace.

The next day, the emperor's will came down, Shen Xiaoxiang and Shao Feixu were both abolished as concubines and given to death, and both of their close servants were killed with rods; Shao Feixu's father was demoted, and the emperor read Shen Zhong's hard work and high punishment to level the military post outside Beijing, and went to Chuzhou to become a general; Frostfall was also put to death, and Fog was exiled; Mu Zhu reported meritorious service and was promoted to Baolin; The emperor admired Xiao Hang's ability to handle the case very much, and transferred him to Dali Temple as an errand boy, and the two servants who did not carefully inspect Meng Xiruo's body were also given canes and expelled from the palace.

After this serial farce, the truth of Fang Huanshan's death was revealed, and the Feng and Fang families shook hands and made peace. It is said that the emperor was furious, and under the pretext that the queen was not strict in governing the palace, he ordered him to meditate on his own mistakes, and the affairs of the harem were temporarily represented by the virtuous concubine.

Liaohai's death was blamed on the Onimen. Because this organization is too mysterious and good at concealment, the imperial court has not been able to arrest the real murderer for the time being, which is Duan Yulin's explanation to the Moon Kingdom and the Snow Country. Whether they accept it or not, the result can only be like this, because no one will really fight another country for the death of a chess player.

The Wan Dynasty will return to normal from now on, and the mounted archery competition will continue to be in full swing. The mounted archery competition is divided into two parts and is held in the Royal Garden on the outskirts of Beijing, one part is the men's archery and driving skills competition, and the children of the clan can participate; The other part is the women's equestrian competition, and the contestants are the nobles of the country and the daughters of the Dahan clan.

The men's riding and archery competition was the first to be held, and the children of the Dahan clan and the princes of various clans were already gearing up and eager to try. The excitement in the audience is not lost in the field, and the number of participants has also increased a lot because the competition venue is located in the suburbs and there are many fewer restrictions. In particular, some unmarried clan girls want to take this opportunity to find a wishful husband for themselves, and their enthusiasm for watching the game is more than that of the contestants, and most of the cheers for every wonderful moment on the field are also contributed by this group of girls.

From the waiting area under the field came two handsome figures, one black and one white, and the horses they were leading were also black and white. The girl in the audience saw clearly that the two were Duan Yuhua, the king of Jing, and Helian Luang, the prince of the Snow Country.

"Helian, three years ago, you didn't come to harm?" Duan Yuhua and Helian Luang are old acquaintances, although there are many differences between the two countries in the early Han Dynasty, but it still does not affect the friendship between gentlemen.

"Couldn't have been better! King Jing seems to be in high spirits! Ha ha! The two hugged and laughed after complimenting each other, which caused the spring girls to scream. However, Duan Yulin's expression was slightly subtle, but he disguised it well with a posture of drinking tea.

The two separated, Duan Yuhua patted Helian Luang's shoulder and said: "Let's have a game today, last time in the Snow Country, this king was not familiar with the terrain of Fangyu Valley and lost to you, this time in my Dahan, this king will definitely win you!" ”

"No matter Snow Country or Dahan, this prince will not lose to you!" Saying that, he jumped on the horse first, he pulled the reins and said to Duan Yuhua: "Waiting for you at the starting point, don't let this prince wait for a long time!" Drive! "Lu Ang's legs clamped the horse's belly, and the snow clouds swept away from the dust.

"Wait for me!" Duan Yuhua also turned over the black horse and rushed out like an arrow from the string.

The two arrived at the starting point of the race, and a group of princes and ministers had gathered on the starting line. The two brothers, Jin Qiu and Jin Yan, each have a sweaty BMW under their crotches; Fujiwara Kawahito rides on a slender snowflake horse; Helian Luzhi's Golden Brown Horse is also an extraordinary fit; Lee Jae-ho sits atop a sturdy, shallow-maned red steed...... The referee gave the order, and seven horses galloped out, not giving in to each other.

At the beginning, the parallel went hand in hand and soon opened the gap, Helian Luang took the lead in driving the snow clouds, and Duan Yuhua's black horse followed; Although the sweat and blood BMW of the Jin brothers is the best among the horses, they seem to be a little unaccustomed to the soil and soil when they arrive in Dahan, and they do not give full play to their strength, ranking third or fourth; Lee Jae-ho and Helian are indistinguishable from each other, and they have always been in a tie; Fujiwara Kawahito's snowflake horse is slender and has a beautiful posture, but it lacks stamina, so it ranks last. But he was not in a hurry, he was still galloping elegantly and chicly, and the posture of this handsome boy also captured the hearts of many girls.

When he was only a kilometer away from the finish line, Helian Luang looked back at Duan Yuhua and shouted: "Yuhua, it seems that you are going to lose to me again this time!" ”

"Don't be too happy, beware of carelessness!" Duan Yuhua smiled proudly, clamped the horse's belly, waved his hand and whipped his hand, and the black horse passed through the wind like a black lightning, surpassing the snow clouds in an instant. Duan Yuhua maintained a slight advantage until the end, and no matter how hard Ren Helian Luang tried to catch up, he couldn't shorten the gap after all.

In the end, Duan Yuhua, who was still a step ahead, won the game, and the audience gave a standing ovation. The prince of Dahan came out on top, and Duan Yulin, as the emperor, also felt that his face was bright, and personally greeted King Jing who returned from changing clothes.

"Yuhua, good! Fight for our face. I will reward you for my brother. Duan Yulin patted his younger brother on the shoulder.

"The royal brother has won the award, but it is just an ordinary competition, not to mention winning glory for the country, and the younger brother really doesn't dare to take credit." Duan Yuhua bowed to the emperor.

"You're modest. Let's hurry back to the throne, and the next game is a match between my princes and the seventh and ninth brothers. Duan Yulin smiled and sat down with him. Duan Yuhua, who returned to his seat, searched for a figure of the female guest seat in the opposite stand, intentionally or unintentionally. Li Jingxi looked at him from a distance, and the teacup she raised paused for a moment, as if to celebrate, Duan Yuhua saw it and felt satisfied.

Helian Luang also changed into clean clothes, returned to the banquet and sat down next to Duan Yuhua, and punched him hard by the way: "Count you amazing!" I won't be careless next time! Duan Yuhua suddenly smiled, and the two high-fived each other, which was a tacit understanding.
