Chapter 75: Murder with a knife
Chen Yikun's trick can be described as extremely insidious, first pretending to be affectionate and deceiving Xian Concubine to be willing to be his eyes and ears in the palace, and when the matter was revealed, he threatened the safety of Xian Concubine's whole family, forcing Xian Concubine to continue to be his eyes and ears.
"As Chen Yikun said, it is impossible for me to take the safety of the whole clan to accompany him to the funeral", Xian Concubine said, "But I am not so bullied by others, he is not benevolent, I am unrighteous." ”
"What does my sister want to do?" Yin Lingyuan asked.
"You must have guessed correctly," said Concubine Xian, laughing at herself, "the prostitute is himself, I used to blind the pig's head, and I even believed what he said about his friends, what news has he sent to me these days?" ”
Yin Lingyuan nodded: "Urge my sister to quickly find out the emperor's attitude for him, I will be perfunctory first, but it must not be too long, if he doesn't get the result, he will continue to blackmail his sister." ”
"In that case, then I'll give him a result." The concubine is secluded.
In the past seven days, she has not been completely sad to lock herself in the house, but also carefully considered the current situation and looked for a way to deal with it.
The emperor has already gotten the list of prostitute officials, why has there been no will, and the harem has always been calm, and I haven't heard of any big mood swings in the emperor, Xian Concubine guessed that the emperor's meaning is that most of the law does not blame the public, but it is a fact that these people have made mistakes, maybe the emperor wants to find some reason to give these people a warning.
Concubine Xian wanted to take advantage of this matter to let Chen Yikun suffer the consequences.
She first sent a letter to Chen Yikun, saying that the emperor's attitude towards prostitutes and officials was very bad and he was determined to punish them severely, and the reason why there was no movement for so long was that he was investigating carefully, to find out who else was not on the list, just waiting for all of them to be investigated, and then dealt with together, and the officials would be dismissed at least and imprisoned at worst.
How much the emperor attaches importance to the law today, Chen Yikun is an official in the court, so he naturally knows best, even if he panics. He cherishes the crown on his head very much, and even looks forward to the day when he can be added to the rank and become a knight, and glorify his ancestors, how can he ruin his future because of this?
Just when he was thinking hard and desperate, he received a message from Xian Concubine, saying that the emperor's inquiry for many days was fruitless, and his patience was about to run out, if he could stand up at this time, make meritorious contributions, report and expose other prostitutes, give the emperor a clear reason, and deal with the rest of the people, etc., he could save himself, and Xian Concubine would also blow some pillow wind in time to help him speak, so as to ensure that he was able to get out of this matter.
Can this really be done?
Chen Yikun didn't have no doubts, but when he held the handle of the concubine in his hand, he thought he had no fear; Second, in Chen Yikun's eyes, Concubine Xian is just a weak woman who has left her hometown, she was so easily deceived by herself before, what tricks can she play at this moment?
He made up his mind, and a letter was presented to the emperor, causing an uproar.
There are a total of 12 officials and prostitutes he knows, including those of the second rank and above, although it is not as good as the list in the emperor's hands, but it is not a small number.
Sure enough, as soon as the excerpt was made, the emperor was furious, ordered a strict investigation, and specially appointed the Kipchak to personally write a royal decree to thoroughly investigate the matter.
Chen Yikun breathed a sigh of relief, his heart said that this method really worked, looking at the emperor's resolute attitude, as long as the truth is ascertained, he will be able to get a report, and the addition of an official to the knighthood is just around the corner.
Chen Yikun did not wait for the good news of his promotion, but waited for a holy decree, saying that he slandered the officials of the imperial court, and had the ill intention of shaking the foundation of the imperial court, removing the official position and exiled him to Liangzhou.
"No, it can't be, what I say is the truth, what I say is the truth!" Chen Yikun was hysterical, not understanding how things could have come to this point.
"Is it a fact, the emperor has found out, does Lord Chen still want to resist the decree?" It was one of the 12 officials he impeached who came to announce the decree, and he hated Chen Yikun to the core: "Come here, strip off this person's official uniform, and immediately exile Liangzhou." ”
"No, wait a minute, wait a minute", Chen Yikun struggled, "I want to see the emperor, I want to meet the emperor!" ”
"Gagged!" When someone gave an order, it was difficult for Chen Yikun to say a word even if he had tens of millions of words.
Where did he understand the emperor's thoughts, Qi Ye didn't plan to deal with these officials now, there were a large number of prostitutes, if they were all dismissed, there would be no one available in the imperial court. And Qi Ye has a roster in his hand, and if he wants to remove who and replace whom in the future, it will be ready-made evidence, how can such a good situation be mixed up by a Chen Yikun? So even if what he plays is true, it will turn into slander.
And the person who announced the decree was worried that he had evidence in his hand, and if he was given a chance, it would be difficult to present it to the emperor again, so he couldn't wait to exile the person after moving the decree, and he didn't even give him a chance to say goodbye to his family.
On the second day of Chen Yikun's exile, a fire broke out in his home, and although there were no casualties, all the furniture and books were burned, and not even a single beam was left.
When the news reached Yinghua Palace, Yin Lingyuan had to feel how terrible a sober-minded woman is, the concubine who spit out the bowl of ecstasy soup in love, this trick is really beautiful to kill people with a knife.
Liangzhou is so far away, Chen Yikun has offended so many people with a piece of paper, Yin Lingyuan guessed that he would not be able to go to Liangzhou alive.
"But the concubine still remembers the friendship of the past, and secretly takes care of the Zhang family's family", including the green road, "not only gave the silver money, but also bought another house for the Zhang family to live in." ”
Yin Lingyuan was silent, remembering the words he had promised to Chen Yikun to take care of his family, but now this result is also a mistake, Chen Yikun left, and his family was also taken care of, the only difference is that Concubine Xian buried a true heart and stayed in the palace forever.
In October, the day in the imperial capital was already very cold, He Jieyu was about to give birth, Yin Lingyuan ran to Ruixiang Palace almost every day, and saw Xian Concubine several times, she was the same as before, as if nothing had happened.
Yin Lingyuan once asked her about her future plans in private, Xian Concubine does not love the emperor, if she wants to leave the palace, Yin Lingyuan's original method is still available, but Xian Concubine refused, she said that she had been stupid once, almost sorry for the clan, and she would spend the rest of her life in the palace peacefully, focusing on raising the three princes.
Although He Jieyu is not smart, her feelings are still keen, and she noticed that the relationship between Concubine Xian and Yin Lingyuan was a little different from before, and seemed to be more frank and close: "I am pregnant, but I have worked hard for the two of you, not to mention taking care of it every day, Sister Xian was sick a while ago, and she had to move to Yinghua Palace, which really made me feel sorry." ”
"Sister He, are you going to be happy now?" Yin Lingyuan deliberately sold Guanzi, "I can't wait until my sister gives birth to a child, and Sister Xian has to move again." ”
"Huh?" He Jieyu was puzzled.
Yin Lingyuan smiled: "One palace can't tolerate two main seats, my sister's doll is small, and when the time comes, it will naturally be Sister Xian who has moved." ”
When she said this, Concubine Xian and He Jieyu both understood that the concubine position was the main position of the first palace, and if He Jieyu was promoted after giving birth, Ruixiang Palace would not be able to have two main seats.
And from Jieyu to concubine, it can be described as a qualitative leap.
"There is no reason in the palace that if you give birth to a child, you must be promoted." He Jieyu shook her head, thinking that when she gave birth to Xiao Yu'er, she was just a beauty, and as for the concubine, she never thought about it.
His identity is humble, and it is unknown whether he is a man or a woman in his belly.
"The emperor comes almost every day these days, which shows the emperor's intentions", Concubine Xian smiled, "In my opinion, it is time to prepare for moving the palace." ”
The three of them giggled.
"What are you talking about, so lively?" Saying that Cao Cao Cao was coming, Qi Ye walked in from outside the door.
Yin Lingyuan and Concubine Xian got up at the same time to salute, He Jieyu was lying on the bed, bowing slightly, Qi Ye hurriedly supported her: "Don't salute, you two should get up too." ”
"Thank the emperor", the two got up, and the concubine smiled: "I just said that the emperor comes to visit Sister He every day, and the emperor has arrived, so it can be seen that there is no one behind him." ”
Qi Ye also laughed: "Although I have come every day, I can't compare to the hard work of the two of you to take care of it, and when He Jieyu gives birth to Lin'er smoothly, I will also reward you well." ”
"This is all as it should be, how dare the concubines take credit." Concubine Xian smiled.
Qi Ye turned to Yin Lingyuan again: "What about you, what delicious food can you bring today?" ”
Yin Ling's belly slandered, it seems that his image as a foodie is deeply ingrained in Qi Ye's heart.
"Back to the emperor, Sister He said yesterday that she wanted to eat sour, and the concubine picked up a plate of sour oranges from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and sent it, can you be considered hearted?"
"Well, you have a heart", Qi Ye nodded and said happily: "Sour and spicy girl, it's a good sign." ”
"As soon as Sister Yu said it, the concubine wants to eat it now", He Jieyu said a little embarrassed.
"Quick, bring it up." Qi Ye immediately ordered someone to bring it and personally opened it and fed it to He Jieyu, who knew that it had just been sent to her lips, He Jieyu raised her willow eyebrows, and a painful look immediately appeared on her face: "Ah~"
"What's wrong?" Qi Ye was startled and immediately put down the tangerine.
Yin Lingyuan was taken aback, and countless thoughts turned in his heart in an instant, could it be that there was something wrong with the orange? Is someone who wants to borrow his own hand to harm He Jieyu and then blame himself? Concubine Yi, Concubine Rong...... All possible names went through her mind.
"But Sister He didn't eat this tangerine." Concubine Xian also had the same thoughts, and couldn't help but distinguish Yin Lingyuan.
Only He Jieyu covered her stomach, and in just a few seconds, a layer of fine sweat had oozed from the corners of her forehead, and she spit out a sentence with difficulty: "Your Majesty, concubine...... I'm afraid I'm going to give birth......"
The three of them were enlightened, and suddenly, the imperial doctor who passed on the imperial doctor, and the one who called the stable woman called the stable mother, there was a rush in the room, and the concubine did not forget to drive the emperor out in her busy schedule, and pulled Yin Lingyuan to wait outside together.
Ten years of inheritance, October twenty-three, He Jieyu gave birth to a daughter, the emperor was very happy, and the next day Jin was named a concubine.
