91 The dust settled
Changxing Houfu.
Rong Yizhou sent Duan Wang away, and was about to turn around and convene the staff in the house to discuss countermeasures, when the little guy in the concierge hurriedly ran in.
"Master Hou, someone is in the palace."
Rong Yizhou was stunned, and before he could wake up, he saw Feng Shou leading the two little fathers-in-law to stride towards him, Rong Yizhou's scalp was numb, and he didn't think much about it, so he hurriedly strode forward.
"Gonggong Feng, you are here, but what does the emperor in the palace command?"
Feng Shou hugged his fists at Rong Yizhou, turned to the two little chamberlains behind him and ordered, "You accompany Imperial Doctor Chen to the mourning hall." ”
"Yes, father-in-law."
The little chamberlain stepped aside, and Rong Yizhou found that there was Chen Jiting, the head of the Tai Hospital, behind the three of them.
"Master Hou, the lower official has come to check the old lady's body with a holy decree." Chen Jiting clenched his fists and said to Rong Yizhou.
Medical check-up?!
Rong Yizhou only felt that there was a huge thunder in the head, and he couldn't distinguish between east and west, north and south.
"Waiting."
Feng Shou's voice sounded in his ears.
Rong Yizhou suddenly came back to his senses, he looked at Feng Shou in a daze, "Gonggong Feng......"
"Hou Ye, there is a decree in the saint, announce that the old Hou Ye and you will enter the palace to meet you, and please ask the Hou Ye to invite the old Hou Ye to come out, and enter the palace with the Sprinkle family." Feng Shou said.
Rong Yizhou felt that with every swallow he had, his throat seemed to be pricked by needles.
Rong Jin knocked on the bench and heard the drums and voiced grievances, Chen Jiting came to check his mother's body, and the emperor summoned him and his father to the palace to meet him...... Rong Yizhou looked at Feng Shou blankly. His lips were slightly pursed, but he couldn't say a word.
"Waiting for the ......"
Feng Shou's eyebrows gradually appeared displeased.
"Father-in-law, please wait, I'll send someone to invite my father." Rong Yizhou finally came back to his senses.
He wanted to invite Feng Shou to sit in the flower hall, but Feng Shou said that the emperor was waiting for his life to return and did not dare to delay. Rong Yizhou had no choice but to ask the little guy around him to go to Songheju to ask Rong Jingde to come out, and at the same time to send a letter to the Tang family in the inner courtyard, he asked Chen Jiting to borrow a step to speak.
"Imperial Doctor Chen, my mother has been put into the coffin, look at this matter, ......" Rong Yizhou said tentatively to Chen Jiting.
Chen Jiting lifted his eyelids, looked at Rong Yizhou, and said with a surprised expression: "What does Master Hou mean that the person has been in the coffin, and this body will not be tested?" ”
"No, no!" Rong Yizhou hurriedly waved his hand.
"What do you mean?" Chen Jiting looked at Rong Yizhou very puzzled.
Rong Yizhou only felt cold in his heart.
Chen Jiting is the emperor's most trusted imperial doctor, if he is willing to maneuver one or two from it, he will not be able to turn things around, but he will not be slaughtered by others, but ...... Rong Yizhou smiled at Chen Jiting's expressionless face.
Fortunately, at this time, the subordinates sent to Songheju carried Rong Jingde out with soft opinions, and Rong Yizhou waved at Chen Jiting and Feng Shou, and welcomed Rong Jingde forward.
"Father's ......"
Rong Yizhou was about to speak, but Rong Jingde raised his hand to interrupt him, "The subordinates have told me, even if there is a holy decree, let's enter the palace quickly." ”
The determination and confidence on Rong Jingde's face couldn't help but make Rong Yizhou stunned, but now is indeed not the time to speak, Feng Shou is still watching there, and Chen Jiting is also waiting to go to the mourning hall for a physical examination!
"Rong Fang, you stay and greet Imperial Doctor Chen." Rong Yizhou said to Rong Fang.
"Yes, Lord Hou."
Rong Fang stepped forward and invited Chen Jiting to the mourning hall.
Rong Yizhou and Rong Jingde got into the carriage prepared outside the palace gate, and the group walked in the direction of the palace.
Feng Shou had his own carriage, and Rong Yizhou and Rong Jingde rode in the same carriage.
Rong Yizhou lifted the curtain and looked at Feng Shou's carriage walking in front, with unconcealed anxiety on his face.
"What are you afraid of?"
Rong Jingde's voice sounded behind him.
For a moment, Rong Yizhou almost thought that Rong Jingde was not blind, he turned his head to look at Rong Jingde behind him, but when he looked at Rong Jingde's gauze eyes, a complicated look bloomed on his face, sighed, put the curtain in his hand, leaned back, and looked at Rong Jingde who was raising his chin and trying to feel the light.
didn't get Rong Yizhou's answer, Rong Jingde frowned, a look of displeasure appeared on his face, and said in a deep voice: "Why don't you speak?" ”
"Father!" Rong Yizhou slowly spoke, "Why do you want to do this?" ”
Rong Jingde's raised jaw seemed to be pinched by an invisible hand, and it was only after a long time that he slowly turned his stiff jaw and looked towards Rong Yizhou with a blank expression.
"Why?" He curled the corners of his lips, gave Rong Yizhou a sneering smile, and said coldly: "You still come to ask me why?" Why, didn't I sue you a long time ago? For you, for Shu'er, for Changxing Houfu......"
Rong Yizhou shook his head and interrupted Rong Jingde's words.
"For me, for Shu'er, for Changxing Houfu?" Rong Yizhou sneered, and said angrily: "Don't say this kind of thing anymore, father, you better think about it, how to face the thunderous wrath of the saint!" When we went out, Chen Jiting had already gone to the mourning hall to check his mother's body, and the cause of his mother's death would soon be revealed to the world! ”
It's just that what Rong Yizhou didn't expect was that his words didn't make Rong Jingde look the slightest panic, on the contrary, he saw an inexplicable smile on his father's face. What do you say about laughter? It's like a cat guarding the edge of the hole, waiting for a long time to finally catch the mouse in the hole!
"Father, you ......"
Rong Yizhou's words were interrupted by the voice of the little chamberlain outside the carriage.
"Master Hou, I've arrived at the palace gate."
Rong Yizhou got out of the carriage, because Rong Jingde was not good at walking, and there was already a waiter waiting in the palace gate with a soft mouth.
Along the way, Rong Yizhou wanted to find a chance to ask, but until he arrived outside the Mingyi Palace, he didn't find a chance.
In the Mingyi Palace, Feng Shou motioned for Rong Yizhou's father and son to wait outside, and he entered the inner hall to report.
"Your Majesty, the old Changxing and Changxing are here."
Emperor Yongchang nodded and said lightly: "Xuan." ”
After a short time, the father and son entered the main hall.
Rong Jingde wanted to salute, but was waved away by Emperor Yongchang, "You are also an old minister, and now you have bad legs and feet, so this ceremony will be exempted." ”
"Minister, thank the emperor for his grace." Rong Jingde waved his hands and saluted.
Rong Yizhou looked up, but he didn't see Rong Jin's figure in the main hall, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and the sound of Emperor Yongchang sitting sounded above his head.
Father and son thanked again.
Emperor Yongchang put aside half of the folds in his hand, looked up at the Rong father and son under the imperial case, was silent, and said softly: "Two Aiqing, do you know, why did I summon you two into the palace?" ”
Rong Yizhou's hanging eyelashes moved slightly, and he was about to speak, but Rong Jingde beside him had already snatched it and said, "Back to the emperor, the ministers don't know." ”
Rong Yizhou was stunned, his eyes moved slightly, and he looked towards Rong Jingde.
Emperor Yongchang, who was at the top, listened to Rong Jingde's powerful voice, and a smile almost invisible flashed between his eyes, he nodded, and said softly: "The reason why the two Aiqing were summoned into the palace is because the county lord of Yongning knocked on the stool and heard the drum, and told the old lord to kill his wife and daughter!" ”
"The emperor has been wronged!" With Rong Jingde's shouting, he "pounced" and fell off the chair. Without waiting for the chamberlain to step forward to help him, he had already turned over, knelt on the ground, smashed the ground with his head, and cried blood: "Your Majesty, the courtiers are injustice!" ”
"What is this doing?" Emperor Yongchang hurriedly instructed Feng Shou beside him: "Quick, go and help the old man to get up." ”
"Your Majesty," Rong Jingde, who was helped back into the chair, looked blankly in the direction of Emperor Yongchang, and said with tears in his eyes: "Your Majesty, the ministers have grievances to complain about, and they have something to play." ”
"Old Wait, you say, I listen." Emperor Yongchang said.
"Your Majesty, the minister is guilty, the minister deserves death!" Rong Jingde suddenly said loudly.
Emperor Yongchang raised his eyebrows lightly, raised his face to look at Rong Jingde, who was talking about his own guilt, "Old Houye, you are ......?"
Even Rong Yizhou was confused by Rong Jingde's words, and he didn't understand which one he was singing when he shouted injustice and pleaded guilty all of a sudden!
"Your Majesty, the old wife of the minister was not frightened and died of palpitations, she, she was poisoned by that little slut of Rong Jin!" Rong Jingde shouted sharply.
Rong Yizhou only felt a thunderbolt sounding above his head.
He looked at his angry father in a daze, and for a moment, even he thought that what his father said was true! Mother was poisoned by Rong Jin!
Emperor Yongchang was obviously stunned by Rong Jingde's sudden words, but in just a moment, he came back to his senses.
"How can there be such a thing?" After a pause, he asked softly, "Why did Rong Jin poison the old lady?" ”
"Because the minister's wife found out that the maid named Linlang next to her was a spy of the Northern Qi Dynasty, the little slut lost her conscience and killed her ancestors, Your Majesty, you have to make decisions for the old minister!" Rong Jingde hissed and shouted: "Not only did the minister's old wife die at the hands of Rong Jin's little slut, but she is also the minister...... It's also because of Rong Jin's little slut. ”
When the words fell, he raised his head, exposed his eyes that had been blindfolded by white gauze to Emperor Yongchang's eyes, and pointed to his bright red feet, which were wrapped in white cloth but had broken wounds due to movement, and hissed: "Your Majesty, the minister did not die on the way to the expedition with the first emperor, and he was not injured in the hands of the enemy soldiers, I can't think of it...... Unexpectedly, but it was injured in the hands of his own granddaughter......"
Rong Yizhou quietly glanced at Rong Jingde, who was tearful and sad, and his mind flashed in his mind for a moment when his father pointed to Linlang and said that she was a spy of Northern Qi. I see, my father planned to do so! If Rong Jin can be designated as a spy of the Northern Qi Dynasty, then Yiqiē will really be solved!
It's just that things are really as simple as my father thinks?
Rong Yizhou's eyes raised slightly, looking at Emperor Yongchang on the throne.
After Emperor Yongchang's hand resting on the imperial case was raised, he slowly let go, if it weren't for his identity, he didn't think he would mind spitting on Jingde's face at all. I've seen shameless people, but I've never seen such shameless!
"The old master said that Rong Jin is a spy of the Northern Qi Kingdom, I don't know what evidence there is?" Emperor Yongchang was silent for a moment, and said softly: "You should know that Rong Jin is the daughter of Rong Fanghua and a native of my Eastern Xia country. ”
"Your Majesty, when the minister went out with the emperor to the Northern Qi Dynasty, he had the honor to fight with the princess of the Northern Qi Protectorate...... Rong Jingde slowly explained the battle that year, and at the end, he said softly: "The poison in the ministers is exactly the same as the poison in the soldiers of our army that day, if it is not the Northern Qi people's clan, who in the world can make this poison?" ”
Emperor Yongchang couldn't help but be silent.
If the matter really involved the princess of Northern Qi who once dominated the world, but disappeared overnight, he really didn't dare to be careless! There is a secret report that Yan Zhengtian, the emperor of the Northern Qi Dynasty, has been secretly visiting the princess who single-handedly sent him to the throne all these years.
If he can find the princess of the country before Yan Zhengtian...... The corners of Emperor Yongchang's lips curled up into a vague smile.
Suddenly, there was silence in the hall.
Rong Jingde waited, but without waiting for Emperor Yongchang to speak, he couldn't see it again, so he couldn't help but look at Rong Yizhou on his side. didn't know that when Rong Yizhou saw the smile that flashed on the corner of Emperor Yongchang's lips, the whole person was not good!
The emperor's heart is unpredictable, he really can't guess what is the reason for Emperor Yongchang's fleeting laughter, is it to laugh at his father's self-made cleverness, or to laugh at the dignified nobles but was caught off guard by a fledgling girl?
"Since that's the case, let Chen Jiting take the pulse for the old waiter." Emperor Yongchang said lightly.
Rong Jingde couldn't help but be happy in his heart.
If it was anything else, he really wasn't sure. But he knew his body that if he hadn't been poisoned, how could he have been blind in his eyes without realizing it? He is not afraid that the emperor will ask Chen Jiting to give him a drug test, but he is afraid that Chen Jiting will not give him a test! As long as Rong Jin can bite the affairs of Northern Qi, the teacher will be unknown, and the emperor will not be able to help him!
"Chuan Chen Jiting." Emperor Yongchang said to Feng Shou.
"Your Majesty, Imperial Physician Chen went to Changxing Houfu, I'm afraid I haven't come back yet." Feng Shou said respectfully.
Emperor Yongchang nodded, waved his hand to signal Feng Shou to step back, and was about to open his mouth to continue talking, but the voice of the little attendant sounded outside.
"Your Majesty, Imperial Physician Chen Jiting asks to see you."
"Xuan."
Emperor Yongchang's words fell, and Chen Jiting walked in from outside.
He first stepped forward to greet Emperor Yongchang, and after getting Emperor Yongchang's "flat body", he stood aside and said to Emperor Yongchang: "Your Majesty, the old lady of Changxing died of palpitations, she died of poisoning, and she died of rouge. ”
"Rouge?" Emperor Yongchang looked at Chen Jiting with doubts, "What kind of poison is this?" ”
I don't blame Emperor Yongchang, the palace wants to give death, which is generally the top of the crane or something, this rouge is scattered, he has heard of it for the first time.
"Back to the emperor, this is a huge poisonous medicine, see the blood to seal the throat, once a person takes it, it will bleed to death, but after twelve hours, the toxin will flow out with the blood, and when you look back and see that the poisoned person is not injured or painless, at first glance, it will be regarded as a palpitation!" Chen Jiting said.
Emperor Yongchang nodded, glanced at Rong Jingde on one side, and asked, "Where did this poison come from?" ”
"Although this poison is a huge poison, it is not unusual." Chen Jiting said: "Originally from Miao Jiang, but because the disciples of the Miao Jiang Poison King once walked around in the Central Plains, this poison was also scattered throughout the country. ”
After listening to Chen Jiting's words, Rong Jingde couldn't help but feel annoyed in his heart, he knew that he should have looked for a poison that was unique to Northern Qi! In this case, Rong Jin is speechless.
Without waiting for him to think about it, Emperor Yongchang's voice sounded above his head, "Chen Aiqing, the old man said that he has a strange poison in his body, you can also check his pulse, look at his poison, you may be able to solve it." ”
Changxing Houfu sent people into the palace several times a day to invite the imperial doctor, and it had already spread throughout the hospital, and in the end, he sent a little imperial doctor to see the child's illness to deal with it, and it had long become a joke in everyone's mouth. But now that the emperor has orders, the courtiers naturally have to obey!
Chen Jiting stepped forward and took Rong Jingde's pulse.
Rong Jingde let Chen Jiting put his left hand and his right hand, with a calm face, the old god was there.
"Old Wait, but Doctor He said that you have a strange poison in your body?" Chen Jiting's voice sounded in his ears.
Rong Jingde pursed his face slightly, looked at Chen Jiting's voice, and nodded.
Chen Jiting was silent for a moment, let go of Rong Jingde's hand, turned to Emperor Yongchang after the imperial case and said: "Your Majesty, can you summon Imperial Doctor He into the palace, the minister has something to do, and wants to inquire." ”
Emperor Yongchang nodded.
There was a little attendant who ran all the way to the Tai Hospital to summon Dr. He.
On this side, Rong Jingde's originally loose heartstrings were tightened again because of Chen Jiting's words. But only for a moment, he was relieved, thinking, this Chen Jiting is a notoriously rigorous person, and this poison in himself is rare and rare, it is normal for him to have doubts, if it is true, it will be clear, but it will make people feel strange.
After a short time, Imperial Physician He followed the little chamberlain to the Mingyi Palace.
After he saluted, Emperor Yongchang pointed at Chen Jiting and said: "He Aiqing, Chen Aiqing has something to inquire about, this matter is very important, you need to know everything, everything you say must not be concealed in the slightest." ”
Imperial Physician He was told by Emperor Yongchang that his heart trembled, and he responded again and again.
After Chen Jiting saluted Emperor Yongchang, he said to Imperial Physician He: "Imperial Physician He, the old waiting master said that you took his pulse and asserted that he had a strange poison in his body, but is there such a thing?" ”
"If you go back to the hospital, Xia Guan is indeed taking the pulse for the old Hou Ye, but Xia Guan also said that in the old Hou Ye's body, it is said to be poison, but it is not like poison, it is not poison, but it is ......" Taiyi He said with a hesitant face.
"But what?" Chen Jiting asked.
Imperial Physician He seemed to be very embarrassed, and said after a while, "But it also made the old man go crazy, and his actions were completely out of order, as if he had lost his mind." ”
Chen Jiting was silent for a while, and said softly: "Doctor He, how about you take the pulse of the old master again?" ”
Imperial Physician He looked at Emperor Yongchang after the imperial case.
Emperor Yongchang bowed slightly.
Doctor He stepped forward and took Rong Jingde's pulse again.
Rong Jingde couldn't see Imperial Physician He's face, but he could feel that Imperial Physician He's hand on his wrist was loose, but it suddenly tightened again. Before he could figure out what was wrong with Doctor He, Doctor He's shocked voice sounded in his ears.
"This, how is this possible?"
Rong Jingde suddenly looked at Imperial Physician He beside him with a blank expression, "Imperial Physician He, what's wrong?" ”
Imperial Physician He ignored his words, but said one after another: "Strange, it's so strange! ”
"What's the matter, Doctor He?" Emperor Yongchang after the imperial case spoke.
"Your Majesty," Imperial Physician He clenched his fists, he wanted to speak and stopped, and at the end, he simply glanced at Chen Jiting on the side, "Chen Yuantou, did you also take it out?" ”
Chen Jiting nodded, and said to Emperor Yongchang: "Your Majesty, the old lord does not have the strange poison he said!" ”
