The ninth day of the seventh month of the first year of Yonghui.

Tai Chi Palace.

A few days ago, Yang Jieyu's poisoning has been investigated:

The cause of the incident is all caused by the old grievances in the East Palace, and the mastermind behind the scenes is Yufeng, the concubine of the Qianqiu Palace, and the person who is poisoned is an unknown servant in the Wanchun Palace.

Now that the facts have been ascertained, Li Zhi personally ordered the following order because of the wide range of involvement in this matter:

The head of the queen's palace, but he did not notice the dirt and dirt hidden in his palace, so although he was polluted this time, he could not escape the responsibility of governance, and he should punish himself for a month, close the palace and introspect for three days, in order to regret it.

Concubine Xiao, the servant became a murderer, although she did not know her situation, but she connived at her servants on weekdays and ran rampant in the palace, it was really difficult to escape responsibility. Therefore he shall be fasted for ten days and fined for one month, as a sign of his precepts.

In addition, Jieyu Yang's move forward is clear and has been punished. This time, because he believed the words of others, he pretended to be crazy and stupid, and even intended to commit suicide to defile the innocent person for personal gain. Its situation can be avoided, its sin is intolerable, I miss the heart of the king, and let his life, and from now on, all the seals should be taken away, reduced to a servant, immediately moved out of the back garden, into the long street as a servant, in order to show its punishment.

From now on, if there is anyone in the palace who has bad intentions and commits slander, he will be severely punished.

……

"That's it."

It's night.

In the Imperial Palace.

On the phoenix couch in Mei Niang's dormitory, Li Zhi hugged Mei Niang, who was also dressed in bed clothes, and said softly:

"In the end, it can't cure the two of them for any major crime."

Mei Niang shook her head and said softly:

"For the two of them, it doesn't matter if they're fined for a month or grounded...... It's all humiliation that I haven't tasted before, and enough is enough.

As a salute for Suqin, it is enough. ”

Li Zhi hesitated, looked at Mei Niang and said:

"You...... Do you really want her to leave the palace?

If she leaves the palace, you will be alone again.

If you don't want to let her out of the palace, then I will find a way to lower her concubine, or simply give her and the master, and then ask her to stay with you only as a female official......"

"She and Hui'er are different."

Mei Niang shook her head and said softly:

"Her temperament is not suitable for being in the palace.

I...... I don't want to see her stay here and suffer any longer.

Over the years......

I owe Hui'er too much, and Hui'er has suffered too much......

Now that Hui'er is gone, the only thing I can do for Hui'er is to take care of Suqin. ”

When Li Zhi heard this, he was also silent, and only sighed softly after a long time:

"At the end of the day, you're still thinking about me......

Mei Niang, Mei Niang, how lucky I am in this life to meet you......"

For a while, the two were in love, looking at each other.

……

Next.

As soon as Mei Niang opened her eyes, she noticed that there seemed to be a person standing outside the veil.

She got up slowly, but asked softly:

"Who is it?"

"Sister Wu, are you awake?"

It was De'an's voice that came.

Mei Niang was stunned, but said:

"Dean?

Why didn't you go with Jiro......"

Dean hurriedly stepped forward, helped Mei Niang gently lift the veil, looked at Mei Niang and said:

"The Lord got up early this morning, because he was busy with morning affairs. However, the lord told De'an to stay and tell his sister one thing. ”

"What's the matter?"

"These days, I'm afraid that I will have to wronged Sister Wu again......

Please also ask my sister to stay in this palace for the time being, and there is no need to go out. ”

Mei Niang immediately understood Li Zhi's heart, and couldn't help but say gloomily:

"It has to be ...... Is it necessary to do so? ”

Dean nodded and said firmly:

"Actually, the Lord didn't want to keep her in the first place......

It's just that my sister has been saying that she is still somewhat useful.

But after this toss, sister, you also have to be more considerate of the Lord's heart......

After all, he is still afraid that if this slut stays, he will hurt you sooner or later. ”

Mei Niang was silent, and only after a long time did she open her mouth and say:

"That'...... Or I'll ......"

"Never."

Dean said categorically:

The Lord has already made a conclusion this time:

In any case, this time there was this poisoning incident as an introduction, and the people in the palace also felt that she would not live long, so she must not be shot by her sister.

Otherwise, I am afraid that the things that have been decided before will be lifted up and re-mentioned.

My sister is clever and should understand. ”

Mei Niang was silent, and only nodded heavily after a while:

"That'...... When? ”

De'an bowed and still said softly:

"If you choose a day, it is naturally better to hit the sun."

Mei Niang raised her head, glanced at him, nodded for a while, then closed her eyes, and said as if she was extremely tired:

"I ...... If you're tired, let's step back! ”

De'an received the order, and saluted again, then served Mei Niang to lie down, pulled the veil again, and when he turned around to go, he couldn't help but turn his head, glanced at the figure in the veil, and then turned his head silently, and slowly walked out of the hall with a calm gaze.

As if out of nowhere, he seemed to hear a sigh as soon as he left the temple gate.

……

Night.

In the Tai Chi Palace, it has been locked.

It's as quiet as a place that never ends.

East side of Long Street.

In the corner, in a very simple hut.

In the dimly lit room, on a simple and somewhat cold bed, lay a woman with a withered face.

If you don't look carefully, I'm afraid no one will believe that this woman is the biological mother of His Royal Highness King Qi today, the former Yang Zhaoyi and Yang Jieyu.

Yes, even De'an, who was dressed in black and quietly brought in by Qinghe, was also difficult to identify for a while.

Standing there and looking at it for a long time, he hesitantly turned his head to look at Qinghe:

"How did this happen?"

Qinghe whispered to De'an:

"When she was poisoned that day, the Imperial Doctor's Office had already received instructions from the prince and did not call her a thorough cure......

So right now, she doesn't have a long life.

It's just a matter of dragging it out. ”

Dean frowned and said softly:

"Master......

I'm afraid that the Lord will not know about this? ”

Qinghe shook his head:

"Naturally, I don't know.

In fact, the prince didn't mean it that way, but he heard the message from Yang Jieyu's close maid, and he was relieved. ”

Dean nodded and sighed leisurely:

"Being able to ask the master to act like this, it can be seen that she has something wrong and shouldn't think, so she ......

That's it.

Hengzhi is also a death, let's give you a happy one, which can be regarded as a kindness. ”

"Well-intentioned...... Hehe......"

A low, crow-like laugh rang out in the hut.

Qinghe is still young after all, in the middle of the night, this dark room, and hearing such a terrifying voice, can't help but tremble, but he stood behind De'an.

Dean turned around, but shook the dust in his hand and said indifferently:

"It turns out that Yang Gongshou is already sober."

On the couch, Yang Gong, who already only had a pair of eyes and a mouth, and could barely move, sneered and looked at De'an:

"So far......

What else do you do......

Since you're coming......

Then call your younger brother and come with that slut Wu Meiniang......

I...... I don't ...... either

Not afraid ......"

At this point, she was already coughing violently.

Dean raised his eyebrows and smiled:

"It turned out that the Yang Palace attendant had been awake all the time......

Then the purpose of our family, presumably Yang Gongshou also understood.

Actually, that's fine.

Yang Gongzhi is in such a situation now, there is no way to turn over......

If you can use your own death to win some mercy and sympathy from the Lord, or you can earn a safe future for His Royal Highness King Qi.

Otherwise, if the Yang palace attendant is blindly greedy for life, I am afraid that every time the lord sees His Royal Highness King Qi in the future, he will think of what the Yang palace attendant has done......

At that time, His Royal Highness King Qi will not say that it is the future, it is his life, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to protect it. ”

When the Yang palace attendant heard this, his eyes suddenly widened, and his gaze was like ten thousand poisonous arrows towards De'an:

"You...... How dare you ......"

Dean smiled faintly:

"Why not?

Yang Gong's servants can violate the covenant with Wu Niangzi, and in the end, they intend to kill Wu Niangzi......

What does De'an dare not say? ”

When Yang Gongshou heard this, he gritted his teeth for the first time and said:

"Sure enough...... Really!

Sure enough, it was her! She...... She wants to hurt me!

Hum!

Say these nice things......

Actually, that's what she was thinking, wasn't she?!

What is it to give my mother and son a way out......

She was already fine, but she wanted to take this opportunity to hurt me! Then the gold will be ...... Will be on the gold ......"

"Really?

Did the martial lady force you?

But how can De'an remember that the covenant between Wu Niangzi and you is that as long as you can abide by the agreement, pretend to be crazy and save your life, and then work together with the lady in this poisonous matter, until the day after the queen and the concubine are overthrown, Wu Niangzi will help you and keep your mother and son safe......

Why, is it possible that you have to say that you did not have the intention to betray your mother that day, but were forced by others? ”

Yang Gongshou was dumbfounded for a while:

Indeed, the plan she and Mei Niang originally discussed, as De'an said, was to pretend to be crazy first to save her life, and then take the opportunity to take poison to bring down the queen......

But she didn't act according to her covenant with Mei Niang.

Because compared to the queen, in fact, the person she hates more is Mei Niang.

If it weren't for her, she might not have fallen into this field, if it weren't for her, she might have been like Concubine Xiao Shu, and she would have won the favor of the saints, if it weren't for her, her own son, maybe......

"Nothing maybe."

Dean saw her thoughts, snorted coldly, and interrupted her train of thought:

"In the first place, there would have been those possibilities.

Because you were able to enter the East Palace in the first place, it was all because of your face......

Didn't you notice?

When you were young, how much did you always have the shadow of a martial artist? ”

Looking at Yang Gongshi's eyes widening angrily, De'an nodded and suddenly smiled:

"Ah......

Turns out you know.

It turns out that you already knew, so you are also like the extremely stupid concubine, dreaming of the lord of the magpie's nest? ”

Yang Gongshi's face can no longer be said to be a human face at this moment, it is more like a face that longs for revenge and blood.

It's a pity that such a face can only make the young Qinghe a little uneasy, but Yu De'an is useless:

"Have you thought about it, why is it our family today?"

Dean looked at her, had lost the last patience, and lost the last bit of pity, and said coldly:

"Why isn't our brother here?

――The reason is very simple, because all along, it is not Sister Wu herself who does not want to ask you to hurt Sister Wu, but the Lord.

Everything you do, even the covenant with Sister Wu, the Lord knows it clearly......

Therefore, it is the Lord who calls us today.

Got it?

The most intolerable thing in the Lord's life is that there is anyone who intends to hurt Sister Wu and betray Sister Wu......

Even his own uncle can't.

And you...... I did both.

What do you think is the meaning of your life? ”

Yang Gongshou's eyes widened.

She wanted to say something, but it was too late. Because as soon as Dean finished speaking, Qinghe had already stepped forward and reached out to break her mouth hard.

She was terrified, she was unwilling, she wanted to struggle, she wanted to escape......

But it's useless, it's useless......

The liquid, which was so cold that it sent chills to her heart, had fallen into her mouth and slid down her chest like a piece of ice.

He turned into a ball of fire and exploded in her chest, causing her to spit out a mouthful of blood, and wanted to scream loudly, but she never had the strength to speak......

In the end, she could only look at the roof weakly, and asked herself one last time:

Finally......

What's wrong?

……

July 11 of the first year of Yonghui.

Tai Chi Palace.

A news that is not big, not too small, and not too unexpected, spread in the Taiji Palace:

King Qi's biological mother, Yang Gong, died a few days ago due to an attack of old poison.

Died year, twenty.
