readx;
At this time, Gonggong Li came in with Liu Ruobing and Song Yun'er, and the two of them were also relieved to see Yang Qiuchi sitting there upright. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 After kowtowing to Ming Chengzu, he sat down at Feng Xiaoxue's bottom.
Ming Chengzu was holding a glass of wine to drink, and suddenly saw Liu Ruobing, he was stunned, and he couldn't take his eyes off it, and he forgot to drink that glass of wine.
Liu Ruobing frowned slightly and snorted coldly. Yang Qiuchi was worried that she would be angry and beckoned her to eat vegetables. Liu Ruobing looked at Yang Qiuchi with a smile and nodded.
Liu Ruobing's smile almost hooked all the three souls of Ming Chengzu, until Wang Guifei coughed lightly, and Ming Chengzu reacted, smiled disguisedly, and drank the wine in the cup in one gulp. Raised his hand and pointed at Liu Ruobing, and asked, "Yang Aiqing, is this ......?"
"This is Weichen's fourth concubine's room, surnamed Liu." Yang Qiuchi also saw Ming Chengzu's pig brother, who was still sad and dead just now, and now he is coveting other beauties.
Immediately thought of it, this emperor is the king of the world, but he dares to do anything, since ancient times, it is not uncommon for the emperor to rob ministers and even his son's wives and concubines, but the emperor can't let Liu Ruobing think about it, coughed, turned his head and deliberately asked Liu Ruobing: "Bing'er, when you came, did you breastfeed our son?" ”
Liu Ruobing didn't know why Yang Qiuchi suddenly asked about this, her pretty face turned red, and she said in a low voice: "Hey......"
Sure enough, Ming Chengzu was slightly stunned, a little embarrassed, and asked, "Is Yang Aiqing happy with your son?" ”
"Yes," Yang Qiuchi said, "This fourth concubine of Weichen, the Liu family, has just given birth to a son for Weichen, and this is Weichen's eldest son. ”
"Oh?" Ming Chengzu turned his head to look at the dark spots on Feng Xiaoxue's face, then at Liu Ruobing and Song Yun'er, and said with a smile: "Yang Aiqing, your concubines are more beautiful than the other, and now they have given birth to a son for you, don't forget the wife of the chaff." ”
Yang Qiuchi hurriedly bowed and said with a smile: "Weichen doesn't dare, Weichen must remember the emperor's teachings." ”
Song Yun'er is still young, and she is a master who is not afraid of heaven and earth, so she couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty, my brother has never forgotten Sister Xiaoxue, when Bai Qian forced him to divorce his wife and marry Bai Qian's daughter, my brother categorically refused." ”
"Your brother?" Ming Chengzu didn't understand who this title referred to for a while.
Yang Qiuchi hurriedly explained: "The Song family of Weichen's five concubines used to be commensurate with Weichen's brothers and sisters, and later married Weichen, but this title has not changed. ”
Only then did Ming Chengzu understand, he smiled, and asked Song Yun'er with great interest: "What did you just say about your brother's refusal to force marriage?" ”
Song Yun'er told the incident again, and in the process of narration, it was inevitable to add oil and vinegar, and portrayed Yang Qiuchi as if he was a love saint. It made Yang Qiuchi and Feng Xiaoxue blushing and embarrassed.
After Song Yun'er finished speaking, Ming Chengzu praised: "I didn't expect Yang Aiqing to be such an emotional person, well, I admire it very much, come, I salute you and your husband for this!" ”
Yang Qiuchi and Feng Xiaoxue hurriedly picked up their wine glasses and stood up, bowed down to thank them, and drank the wine in their glasses.
Since entering the Imperial Garden, Mother Yang has been thinking about how to open her mouth to propose. Their Yang family is now a super Marquis of Zhenyuan, and if they want to marry a princess, they can be regarded as a good person, but they are asking the princess to be a concubine for their son, plus Yang's mother is a peasant woman, and she was so frightened that she used to see Song Zhixian to say something unfavorable, and now she wants her to propose to the emperor.
Ming Chengzu also found that Mother Yang hadn't spoken, sitting there trembling, knowing that she was nervous, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Mrs. Tai, you can have a drink too...... Mrs. ......? ”
Feng Xiaoxue squinted her eyes, saw that Mother Yang was still thinking about her thoughts, and didn't hear the emperor's words, so she quickly pushed Mother Yang under the table, and said in a low voice: "Mother, the emperor called you." ”
Only then did Mother Yang react: "Huh? What the? ”
Feng Xiaoxue blushed and said it again. When Mother Yang heard the emperor talking to her, she immediately panicked, stood up with a glass of wine, and said tremblingly: "The emperor ...... On the ......, Princess Yunlu ...... Our son...... Concubine...... All right? ”
Ming Chengzu was stunned for a moment, and he didn't hear what Yang Mu said, in fact, even if he paid attention to it, he couldn't hear it, because Yang Mu was nervous, and he didn't finish saying it at all.
Yun Lu had already understood, her face was flushed with shame, she lowered her head and didn't speak, but her ears were stunned. But after listening to Mother Yang's words for a long time, she didn't explain it, and she couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
Ming Chengzu saw that Mother Yang's face turned white with nervousness, and the glass of wine in his hand trembled and spilled more than half of it, and smiled slightly: "Mrs. Tai, don't worry, you drink the wine first, and speak slowly." ”
Feng Xiaoxue stood up, supported the old lady, stabilized her arm and comforted softly: "Mother, the emperor asked you to drink first, and then speak slowly, don't worry." ”
When Mother Yang heard this, she quickly picked up the glass of wine and poured it into her mouth, in fact, the wine in the cup had almost been spilled.
After drinking the remaining half glass of wine in the quilt, with Feng Xiaoxue's support, Mother Yang slowly sat down, took a breath, and said, "Your Majesty, old body...... The old man wants to propose a kiss to the emperor......"
Ming Chengzu smiled and said, "Okay, Mrs. Tai, my Princess Xianning is not yet married," he turned around and pulled Yunlu's arm, "And my Princess Qingxi is also unmarried, who will Mrs. Tai propose to her?" Tell me about it? ”
Mother Yang heard Ming Chengzu talk about Yunlu, and her heart was happy, this tongue finally slipped smoothly, and said: "The old body wants to propose marriage for Princess Yunlu of Qingxi." ”
"Oh, okay, which son of the house is it?"
"Old body...... The old man wants to propose marriage for my son. ”
"Huh?" Ming Chengzu was stunned for a moment, and the smile on his face slowly disappeared, "Mrs. Tai, how many sons do you have." ”
Mother Yang took Yang Qiuchi's hand and said with a smile: "Just ...... That's it. ”
Ming Chengzu's face darkened: "Doesn't Mrs. Tai want me to marry Princess Qingxi to Yang Aiqing as a concubine?" ”
Mother Yang also heard Ming Chengzu's displeasure and was panicked, but as soon as the words came out, she wanted to make it clear, and she cowered and said, "Princess Yunlu...... I like our autumn pond ......, and it used to be fine...... That's why the old body is ......"
Ming Chengzu looked at Yunlu: "Lu'er, is Yang Aiqing the Ruyi Langjun you said you liked?" ”
Yun Lu blushed and nodded, she also heard Ming Chengzu's displeasure, she thought in her heart, and plucked up the courage to say: "Father, when I was in Qingxi County, my father intended to marry his daughter to Brother Qiuchi as a ......concubine."
"Are you married?" Ming Chengzu said coldly.
"No ......"
"That's it, Yang Aiqing is young and promising, this is a good family business, but Yang Aiqing also has an original match, she would rather die than divorce her wife, she has a deep affection for him and his wife, I respect him very much, even so, you can't marry Yang Aiqing as a wife. As for the concubine - do you think it is appropriate for the princess to be a concubine? ”
"Father's ......"
Ming Chengzu waved his hand and interrupted Yun Lu's words: "Okay, I don't have to mention this matter again." My father was a little tired, so I went back first. Standing up, he looked down and saw Yun Lu's pitiful tears, and patted her shoulder, "Lu'er, you don't have to worry about your family affairs, my father will arrange it for you." ”
Ming Chengzu didn't look at Yang Qiuchi and them, he walked with his hands behind his back and walked with square steps. Wang Guifei and other concubines smiled apologetically at Yang Qiuchi and the others, and then followed behind, and also left, when Lu Meiren left, she glanced at Yang Qiuchi deeply, and her talking eyes were full of softness, which made people infinitely pity.
Only Yang Qiuchi's family was left in the field, you look at me, I look at you, they are all dumbfounded.
Yun Lu fell on the table and cried.
……
The next day, after discussing with Yang's mother, Feng Xiaoxue and Song Qing, Yang Qiuchi decided to entrust Song Qing's mother, Mrs. Song, to Wuchang to take care of Huguang's business, he wrote a letter to Song Qing's mother, and then asked Xia Ping to take the female escort team to Ningguo Mansion first, and after picking up Song Qing's mother, escort them to Wuchang, and then pick up Qin Zhihui, Song Qing and Bai Sumei's mother and daughter.
Subsequently, he took Master Jin and Master Long to the Yamen of Yingtianfu to take up his post first, accepted the congratulations of the officials, and then asked the two masters and the former masters of Gu Fuyin to handle the handover of money, materials, files, etc. After handing over the affairs of the Yamen to the two masters, Yang Qiuchi went to the Yamen, the governor of the Fusi of Jinyi Weibei Town, and formally met with the commander Ji Gang, and then returned to the Yang Mansion.
After Yang Qiuchi called Song Yun'er, he roughly told Song Yun'er about the case assigned by the emperor. When Song Yun'er heard that the case investigated this time was actually the mysterious death of the emperor's favorite concubine, she was very excited, but she was very nervous, and it was not so simple when it came to the royal family. I don't know who will be involved. However, this time the backstage is the emperor, so don't worry.
As for how to detect, Yang Qiuchi already has a preliminary plan, first conduct an investigation, find out the situation at the time, and then go to Lincheng, Shandong Province to open the coffin for an autopsy, to determine whether the surname of the death is suicide, an accident or homicide, and then make the next step according to the surname of the case.
Now that he is the Jinyi Wei Tongzhi, the identity of the Jinyi Wei is public, Yang Qiuchi put on the Jinyi Wei Tongzhi official robe, and asked Nangong Xiong and the other six personal guards to pass on the flying fish suit, and took Song Yun'er into the palace to start investigating the case.
Since the emperor had decreed that Yang Qiuchi could enter the palace at any time, there was no hindrance, and Yang Qiuchi and the others entered the palace. found the female official Wang Sicai.
Wang Sicai is in his twenties, but he is also a little handsome (in order to avoid frightening the emperor, dinosaur-level ugly girls are not allowed to enter the palace in this palace), giving people a very capable feeling.
When Wang Sicai heard that Jinyiwei was looking for him, he was suddenly frightened. From the time of Zhu Di Yongle in the Ming Dynasty, Jinyiwei and later the East Factory and West Factory were all terms that could be used to scare children at night that could make people tremble.
Si Cai is actually a kind of female official in charge of storing satin in the palace, and this interrogation is carried out in Wang Sicai's office.
