Chapter 62: The Twenty-Eighth

After listening to their words, Lao Zhu thought about it for a while, and ordered his eunuchs to enter Wenyuan Pavilion and temporarily put Concubine Lu under house arrest; Now there is no conclusive evidence that Concubine Lu has a problem, although Lao Zhu does not think that Yun Xi is lying, but he is still very cautious about such a matter involving his family on both sides. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

However, most of the palace maids and eunuchs in Wenyuan Pavilion were arrested, and the eunuchs in Dongnuan Pavilion other than the 'Four Kings' were also arrested.

At the same time, it was rumored that the Jinyi guard commanded Guo Hongtao to enter the palace to meet the driver, and immediately asked the guards to arrest the people of the two restaurants outside the south gate of the imperial city, as well as the family of Boss Tang of the Qilu noodle restaurant to enter the palace.

At this time, the royal eunuch Hu Gonggong walked over in small steps and whispered to Lao Zhu Spice that it was no problem. Lao Zhu nodded and asked him to step back.

Immediately afterwards, the eunuch who knew medical skills around Lao Zhu came over and said, "Your Majesty, maybe our medical skills are shallow, and we have not found any signs of poisoning in Your Highness." "Although Yun Xi is indeed not 'poisoned' at this time, even if he is 'poisoned', they can't check it out, because parasites are not poison in the first place.

Lao Zhu asked the eunuchs around him to surround Yunxi to live in the Qianqing Palace today, and then walked into the Wenyuan Pavilion by himself.

Previously, Lao Zhu specially ordered not to disturb Yun Wei when Concubine Lu was under house arrest and her eunuchs and palace maids were arrested. But Yun Wei hasn't slept yet, how can he not be alarmed? When he saw Lao Zhu coming in, he immediately stepped forward to salute and asked, "Grandpa Huang, what happened?" ”

Lao Zhu replied kindly: "It's nothing, it's just that there are some things to ask your mother and concubine, you go and rest." ”

Yun Wei saw Lao Zhu's kind but resolute answer, knowing that he couldn't ask anything, although he was worried about his mother, he could only go back to his dormitory and secretly inquire about what was going on.

Lao Zhu walked into the living room of the Wenhua Palace, and Concubine Lu was waiting here alone at this time. Lao Zhu asked the eunuchs behind him to go out, and then stared condescendingly at Concubine Lu, who was kneeling on the ground after saluting.

He said, "Lu Shi, you raise your head. ”

Since Concubine Lu dared to do this, she was ready to accept the 'Zhu Yuanzhang's scrutiny', so it was normal to look up at Lao Zhu.

Lao Zhu carefully observed her for a while, but didn't find anything wrong, so he asked, "Lu, do you know why I came here?" ”

Concubine Lu showed a normal dazedness: "Back to Your Majesty, the concubines don't know." ”

Lao Zhu asked a few more words, but he never found a flaw; Concubine Lu has always behaved very much in line with what she said, Lao Zhu can't tell from Concubine Lu's performance whether she did it or not, but he can't be completely assured, so after he left the Wenyuan Pavilion of Wenhua Palace, he ordered Concubine Lu and Yun Xi, Yun Xi, Yun Xi and others to move to Wuying Hall in advance on the grounds that Yun Xi was about to be crowned the emperor's grandson. Concubine Li and Wen Ying, as well as Wen Rong and their mothers, also moved out of the Wenhua Palace.

=============================================================

Yun Xi moved to the Qianqing Palace, tossed for half the night, and did not sleep until the third watch. The next day, because the preparatory ceremony for the canonization of the emperor's grandson was started on time, Yun Xi got up with Lao Zhu who was going to the court before dawn, and cooperated with the eunuchs and officials of the Ministry of Rites with black circles under his eyes to rehearse the official canonization ceremony tomorrow, but everyone was very curious about what happened yesterday and quietly looked at Yun Xi.

Lao Zhu didn't sleep well last night, he also went to court with dark circles under his eyes, and he was obviously in a bad mood, an official of the Ministry of Industry embezzled 70 taels of silver and was directly sentenced to be beheaded. Under normal circumstances, petty embezzlers like this are sentenced to the crime of exile and the death penalty (equivalent to a suspended death sentence) because of the serious shortage of officials.

In addition, several household scribes who knew Wang Jin who were on duty last night saw Wang Jin go in and out of the palace to buy food, and later the guards went out and arrested people everywhere. So everyone thought that something happened in the palace last night, and it might involve Yun Xi, or even the position of the prince, so everyone secretly inquired about what happened.

Therefore, the officials of the Ministry of Rites who came to the palace today all looked at Yun Xi, and then they were fully sure that it was indeed related to Yun Xi. But I don't know what happened specifically, Lao Zhu is very tight about the news, and everyone who knows a little bit of the inside story is enclosed in the palace. The officials saw that Yun Xi was fine, and the canonization of the emperor's grandson was carried out on time, and most of them let it go, after all, it was better to have less involvement in the royal affairs. Although the Chang family and the Lu family couldn't let it go, they couldn't inquire about anything.

Yun Xi took over the whole matter because Lao Zhu took over the whole thing, and out of trust in Lao Zhu, he left it down and waited for the result.

But Lao Zhu can't be left behind. And after a morning's hard work, the inner palace yamen have determined who is the mastermind behind the scenes. Although Concubine Lu annihilated all the evidence: the people in the restaurants outside the south of the imperial city died; Jin Yiwei's most powerful drug detector, everyone can't identify Yun Xi's food is poisonous; The only few palace maids around Concubine Lu who knew the inside story also gritted their teeth and survived the punishment in the palace, only saying that they didn't know.

But because the people who went out of the palace to do business were careless, and the boss Tang Bohe found the problem in the Qilu noodle restaurant, so with the confession of Boss Tang and the description of the person's appearance, it was determined that Hu Siyi next to Concubine Lu was one of the people who went out of the palace to trade with the Yiren of Yunnan Province. All of a sudden, there was solid evidence. Although Hu Siyi committed suicide immediately after knowing that he was discovered, it can still be determined that Concubine Lu is the mastermind behind the scenes.

After confirming this, Lao Zhu handed over the task of arresting outside the palace to Jinyiwei. Originally, he had abolished Jinyiwei's powers of arrest and interrogation, but this time the matter really couldn't be handed over to the Criminal Department or Dali Temple, so he had to use Jinyiwei.

All the palace maids and eunuchs involved in this case in the palace were executed, and the other eunuchs around Concubine Lu also had hard labor, and the palace maids were assigned to teach the workshop as a skill. But for Concubine Lu, Lao Zhu has been entangled for a long time about how to deal with it.

After all, Concubine Lu is the second concubine of Prince Yiwen, who has presided over the palace affairs of Wenhua Palace for more than nine years, and has three sons, Yun Xi, Yun Xi, and Yun Xi, and has also raised Yun Xi. In the course of this interrogation, the reason why Lao Zhu did not arrest the Lu family was because of this consideration.

But it must not be dealt with harshly, if it is just house arrest, it is just handing over the trouble to Yunxi. After an afternoon of thinking, Lao Zhu finally decided to put Concubine Lu under house arrest first, claiming that she was sick, and gradually saying that her illness was getting worse and worse, and then died before the lunar month. The people of the Lu family will also find a reason to issue border passes for the whole family in the future.

After making this decision, Lao Zhu first completely put down this matter, and waited until the day after tomorrow to talk about other things. He also didn't deal with the folds that filled the table because he didn't batch them for a day. Because tomorrow, there are less than six hours, and it is time to officially canonize Yunxi as the emperor's grandson, Lao Zhu wants to ensure that there are no mistakes, so he called all the principals of the yamen involved to inquire carefully.

By the time this is over, it is already unitary time (19-21 o'clock in the evening). Lao Zhu called the imperial doctor again and gave Yunxi his fifth physical examination today to ensure that his body was fine. Then Lao Zhu went to sleep after all this was done, because he wanted to ensure that he had energy tomorrow.
