Concubine Qi was very nervous when she heard everything Wang Laohu said, and this time she said that she had learned something from the queen mother, and she was also a little nervous. Wang Laohu continued: "The queen said that you behaved strangely three months ago, and sometimes when everyone was at a party, you would leave temporarily, and later, you would have less time to attend the party. Is there such a thing? ”

How can such a thing escape the eyes of others? Of course, Concubine Qi can't deny it, and she can't deny it: "There is indeed such a thing." ”

"Because it's Concubine Qi and want to meet the person you like?" Wang Laohu said.

"Lord Wang, don't frame this palace!" Concubine Qi said angrily.

"Mother, you can't be angry, it's not good for the child in your belly."

"Didn't you want to harm the child in my womb?" Concubine Qi didn't take Wang Laohu's kindness to heart.

"That's what I was ordered." Wang Laohu said, "Concubine Qi, why didn't you think about it before you did this?" Sooner or later, this will happen, and now the child in your belly, do you think you can save it? ”

As soon as Wang Laohu finished saying this, Concubine Qi Niangniang knelt down, which startled Wang Laohu: "Niangniang, ...... are you" Wang Laohu quickly knelt down.

"Lord Wang, this palace begs you to release the child in my belly." Qi Fei said.

"Niangniang, you are pregnant, get up first." Wang Laohu said.

The girl on the side helped Concubine Qi up. Concubine Qi said: "Lord Wang, this palace knows that there are some difficulties for you, it doesn't matter if I die, I just ask you to keep the child in my belly." ”

"Concubine Qi, can you let the girl next to you leave for a while, I want to talk to you alone." Wang Laohu said.

Concubine Qi thought for a while, and finally let the girl leave.

Now there are only two people left in Concubine Qi's bedroom, Wang Laohu and Concubine Qi. "Mother, with all due respect, now in this matter, the child in your belly will definitely not be saved, as for you. Niangniang herself, but it's not me who has the final say. ”

Concubine Qi shook her head and said, "I knew that it was useless to beg you. ”

"Now it's just you and me, Niangniang, if you can tell me the whole thing, maybe I can help you."

"Perhaps? Lord Wang, I know that you all want to harm the child in my womb, and I will not let you succeed. ”

"Do you think that with your words, you can save the child in your belly? It's more or less a life in your belly, no matter who his father is. It's weird, Niangniang is in the emperor's house, and I can't help some things, please forgive me. ”

"Lord Wang, I don't know if I can trust you?"

"Can you trust anyone but me?" Wang Laohu said, "I have just arrived in the capital, and I am not familiar with some things, but I know some things in the palace, because I came to this palace last time." If you don't like to hear it, I would like to return to that place in Hangzhou and continue to be my commander. ”

Concubine Qi said: "Do you want to go back to Hangzhou City, is Hangzhou City better than the capital?" ”

"It must not be as prosperous as the capital." Wang Laohu said, "Now I don't belong to any camp, I am me, you can trust me." ”

"Then you save the baby in my womb." Qi Fei said.

Wang Laohu smiled and thought to himself, this child came from nowhere, and if he saved him, he would have committed the crime of defrauding the king. Although I don't want to kill, in such a society, there is no way. Unless there is a miracle.

Seeing that Wang Laohu didn't speak, Concubine Qi said: "This palace has its own hardships, and I can't say anything about it." ”

"I can't save you and your child without a good reason." Wang Laohu said.

Concubine Qi hesitated for a moment and said, "Anyway, this palace can't escape, so I can only believe in you." ”

"Ordinary people can't get in or out of the backyard of this palace. Who does Concubine Qi want to run away with? ”

"Just me and my child, am I waiting for death here, waiting for death like Concubine Hui?"

Concubine Hui? Can Concubine Qi be compared to Concubine Hui? Concubine Hui had the emperor's dragon species, so she was poisoned by people. But Concubine Qi's stomach is nothing, and even the emperor wants to kill her.

"Niangniang, if there is anything you want to tell me, you must tell me honestly."

"Lord Wang, if I am pregnant with a dragon seed in my belly, will you save me?" Concubine Qi said such a sentence, but it made Wang Laohu stunned, is this her joking? All kinds of information are intertwined, and it is impossible to prove Concubine Qi's words.

Seeing that Wang Laohu was suspicious, Concubine Qi said: "I don't want to follow Concubine Hui's back path again, so from the beginning of my pregnancy, I lied to everyone." ”

"Lied, mother, you said you lied."

The two had another conversation. ……

Wang Laohu said: "Could it be that this child is really a dragon species?" ”

"Now that it's all come to this, I have no choice but to trust Lord Wang." Qi Fei said.

Wang Laohu stood up and looked at Concubine Qi: "If what you said is true, the child in this belly is a dragon species, I will definitely reserve this bloodline for the royal family." ”

"Lord Wang, do you know how many concubines' children in this harem are gone for no reason, including the queen's, so this palace is afraid that one day I will also lose him, so I ......."

"Niangniang, don't say anything, who else knows about this?" Wang Laohu asked.

"Imperial Doctor Li Qinbao."

Speaking of Li Qinbao, Wang Laohu realized why Concubine Qi was so nervous when he just talked about Imperial Doctor Li, it turned out that he also knew about it.

"Your personal girl knows about it, right?" Wang Laohu continued to ask.

Concubine Qi nodded.

"What Niangniang said is not a trivial matter, and I must verify your matter. Mother, take care. "King

The tiger said and left Concubine Qi's bedroom.

Coming out of Concubine Qi's bedroom, Wang Laohu's heart was surging, if what Concubine Qi said was true, then this matter would take a 180-degree turn, and what she had in her stomach was the emperor's seed, no matter what, she had to keep this dragon vein. But if this is Concubine Qi's delaying tactic, it is a kind of fornication with Li Qinbao, and she wants to join forces with Li Qinbao to deceive herself and let herself let the two of them go. Which of the two possibilities is true?

A certificate must be requested.

In prison.

Wang Laohu broke away everyone in the prison, and carefully checked the surroundings of the prison, and after confirming that there was no one, Wang Laohu came to Li Qinbao's prison, and across this fence, Li Qinbao said: "Lord Wang, what do you mean by locking me up like this?" ”

Wang Laohu said: "I'll lock you up if it's okay?" Doctor Li, I'm asking you now to verify one thing, did you make a big mistake three months ago? ”

"Lord Wang, what are you talking about, I made a big mistake, I made a big mistake."

"It seems that you don't cry if you don't see the coffin, and you won't die if you don't see the Yellow River." Wang Laohu said, "Without sufficient evidence, will I say anything?" ”

"You Jinyiwei can't do anything wrong, and there are too many things to talk about."

"Since you don't want to say it, then let me help you say that three months ago, you took advantage of entering the harem and went to Concubine Qi's bedroom, where the two of you did a bad thing."

"You talk nonsense!"

"I'm talking nonsense, Concubine Qi has already confessed, no matter how you cheat, it's useless."

"This is your agitation method, you are framing me, I will not be fooled by you."

"It doesn't matter if you don't say it, anyway, all the people you want to recruit have already been recruited, and it doesn't matter if you recruit a doctor or not." Wang Laohu said.

"You're boneless, casually framed. Wang Laohu, you must not die well. ”

"Although you are the doctor of the Tai Hospital, I don't take you seriously. Now I'll add you to the charge of insulting the court officials, and you will wait to be killed. ”

Li Qinbao snorted and said, "Jin Yiwei is just this ability, I don't take you in my eyes yet." ”

"Okay, it's okay, when you think of something to tell me, you can ask someone to come to me. Otherwise, when the time comes, you want to say that there will be no chance. ”

"Phew, Dog Officer." Li Qinbao said.

Wang Laohu walked out of the prison with a smile.

provoked Li Qinbao, and Wang Laohu waited to close the net. He was followed by two brocade guards who were not his own people, and on the bright side, he had to scruple about doing things by himself, and now, he wanted to ask for a testimony, and he had to do it in secret, and he couldn't let anyone else know.

"Qishun, take my token, now you go out of the palace." Wang Laohu commanded.

"Childe, what are you asking me to do out of the palace?" Qishun asked.

Wang Laohu whispered a few words in Qishun's ear. "Okay. Son. Qi said.

"It's not easy to go outside, find a decent reason, and see if there is any tail behind you." Wang Laohu reminded.

"Yes, yes." Qi Shun.

"You're going to go out right away." Wang Laohu took out the waist card of the clothes guard and handed it to Qi Shundao.

"Yes, Childe."

Seeing Qi Shun go out of his room, Wang Laohu thought that the mystery in his heart was about to be solved, and he was a little nervous, in case this matter was just like what Concubine Qi said, how would he end up. So many pairs of eyes are staring here.

The Queen's Bedroom.

Liu Jin was also there, he asked Niangniang: "Niangniang, you summoned Weichen, do you have anything to tell the slaves?" ”

The queen said to a few little girls on the side: "You go out first, I have something to say to Lord Liu alone." ”

The girls all left the dormitory, and now only the two of them were left in the room. "Lord Liu, why did you send Wang Laohu to investigate this matter this time? Bengong hesitated to see him do this, whether he would mess up this matter. ”

"Niangniang, what are you worried about? Wang Laohu won't handle it impartially? ”

"Do you really know Wang Laohu?"

"The minions don't understand yet." Liu Jindao.

"I don't understand, why did you send him to do such an important thing?" The queen asked.

"Queen Mother, what are you afraid of? This time she can't run, your status, there won't be any problems. ”

"This palace is afraid, if you stay in this deep palace for a long time, you will be afraid of some things."

"The slave will help you, why did the slave let Wang Laohu do it? First, because Concubine Qi had no room to turn over at all, the slave knew that the emperor had not had sex with Concubine Qi in the first half of the year, and the one in her stomach was a wild seed, and the emperor did not leave a person, Wang Laohu did not have the courage. Second, Wang Laohu has just arrived in the capital, and I don't know him very well, whether he is our person or not, which can also be seen from this incident. ”

"Lord Liu is testing him?"

"The slave is the queen's mother, of course he will take care of the mother."

"Bengong believes you, but if her stomach doesn't go out, Bengong always can't eat well and sleep unsteadily."

"Mother, if you can't wait, the slave will send someone to do her."

"Concubine Qi is also a sister who is good with me, I don't want her life."

Liu Jin looked at the queen and said, "Niangniang, Wang Laohu is also a talent, he is young, he was promoted by the emperor to the commander of Hangzhou, and his ability cannot be doubted." ”

"He's the emperor's man?"

"We are all emperor's people, but now there are two positions, and the slave hopes that he can stand on the side of the mother."

"Okay, Hongu believes you."

Coming back from the queen's bedroom, Liu Jin didn't take this matter to heart, as far as he said, Concubine Qi's incident was also a test of Wang Laohu

One of the ways. Concubine Qi could have let Jinyiwei's people take action, and the efficiency would be higher, Liu Jin picked Wang Laohu, who had just entered Beijing, to see his talent, on the other hand, to see if he listened to his orders. Liu Jin has already conveyed his meaning to him very clearly, and now it depends on how he does it.

Wang Laohu's Mansion.

Listening to Concubine Qi's words, Wang Laohu's heart was already beating a drum, and a wave rolled in his heart, if there was no pressure from his own, it would be impossible to find such a different kind of news, this matter is really a secret, no wonder Concubine Qi is so conservative, because with the lessons of the past, she also has enough caution, no matter how good a sister you usually are, when it comes to this time, you will turn your face and deny people.

Li Qinbao, this imperial doctor, wanted to provoke him and provoke him out, but he didn't say anything, the soft one didn't work, Wang Laohu planned to come to the hard one, Jin Yiwei's style of doing things is like this, he is Jin Yiwei, he should have the appearance of Jin Yiwei.

Wang Laohu came to the prison again, this is after agitating Li Qinbao for a day, he came to the prison again, Qi Shun went out of the palace to do business, not a day or two, he will not come back, these days, he has to grind out something.

Wang Laohu took Li Qinbao out and took him to the torture room, it seems that Wang Laohu wanted to execute him. "Imperial Doctor Li, I'll give you one last chance now, if you are honest now, I can open the net and make your death more comfortable."

"Phew, Dog Officer." Li Qinbao said angrily, "You dog official, you will only bend into tricks, I will not bow my head." ”

Wang Laohu said: "You have to think clearly, whether the bones are hard, or my torture equipment is stronger." When the whip comes down, don't cry out in pain. ”

"Come on, I'm not going to shout."

"Someone, call me." Wang Laohu finally spit out this sentence.

One of the brocade guards who followed him raised the whip in his hand and swung it fiercely at Li Qinbao, who was tied to the iron. "Smack, smack", there have already been two whips down. Li Qinbao, who was so weak, couldn't resist it at all, and when the first whip went down, Li Qinbao let out an "ah" sound, and when the second whip went down, Li Qinbao's shout became heavier.

Although Wang Laohu made people start, but these two sounds sounded very harsh to him, and it was like hitting him, after all, this matter, as Concubine Qi said, for him, there are actually no problems, but in order to confirm something, it is still necessary to make such a heavy hand.

"Stop." After two lashes, Wang Laohu made people stop.

Wang Laohu was already on his back, and he didn't look at Li Qinbao, because he didn't want to be tortured against him, so he didn't want to see such a scene, but now he turned around and saw that the two whips had been beaten on Li Qinbao's body, which had already broken his clothes, and there was light blood printed out of the white prison uniform.

"You've tasted the whip, it's not an ordinary pain in your body, let's say, you didn't do it." Wang Laohu said.

Li Qinbao was whipped twice, and he could no longer tell what direction he was going from. He slowly raised his head, his voice noticeably softer than before. "What do you want me to say? I didn't do anything. ”

Wang Laohu looked at him and said, "You didn't do it?" If it's not you, who else will it be? ”

"There are so many people in and out of the harem, could it be me?" Li Qinbao said aggrievedly.

"Then tell me what you know." Wang Laohu reminded.

"I don't know, I don't know anything, I'm just treating Concubine Qi." Li Qinbao said.

"Looks like you haven't eaten enough." Wang Laohu raised his hand again and said, "Do you still want to eat my whip again?" ”

"What do you want me to recruit, I didn't do it, what do you want me to recruit?"

"Fight, keep fighting." Wang Laohushuang put down his hand.

"Smack, smack." Li Qinbao's body was heavily whipped several times, and after these few lashes, the blood stains on the white prison uniform were finally revealed, and if his prison uniform was opened, there must be deep blood marks inside.

"Ah...... Ah......h

was tortured, but Li Qinbao didn't say a word he knew, Wang Laohu couldn't help but have his own thoughts, as a weak imperial doctor, if he was whipped like this, he would definitely not be able to stand it, but he didn't say it, there are two possibilities, first, he really didn't do this, so even if he continues to fight, he won't recruit, but if he goes down, it's hard to say whether he can stand it. Second, if Concubine Qi said that it was true, Li Qinbao also knew about it, and no matter how he wronged him, he would not tell him about it, did it mean that this Li Qinbao could really keep the secret?

What kind of person does he belong to? Wang Laohu thought.

Concubine Qi's dormitory.

"Lord Wang, how did you investigate this matter?"

"I'm investigating what Niangniang said, but the witnesses you said didn't help you confirm it."

"Imperial Doctor Li didn't say anything?" Concubine Qi was surprised, "Let this palace go and ask him in person." ”

"Niangniang wants to confess?" Wang Laohu actually didn't ask Li Qinbao the truth of this matter directly, "'Since you don't want to say it, then let me help you say that three months ago, you took advantage of entering the harem and went to Concubine Qi's bedroom, where the two of you did something unscrupulous. ’

'You talk nonsense! ’

'I'm talking nonsense, Concubine Qi has already confessed, no matter how you cheat, it's useless. ’”

Wang Laohu knocked him on the other side, so that he could tell the truth when he couldn't bear it, but he didn't say anything. "Niangniang, I tortured Mrs. Li today, and under the torture instrument, he didn't say, Niangniang, let me ask you again, what you told me before is true?"

Concubine Qi smiled and said, "It turns out that you don't believe in this palace either?" ”

"How do you want me to trust you? Such an inconsequential matter, even the imperial doctor will not testify for you. ”
