Chapter 555: One Arrow
Father-in-law Lu suddenly said such a sentence at that time, and Father-in-law Ding was surprised in his heart and asked why. Father-in-law Lu was like a river mussel and kept silent.
Within five days, the dress was damaged.
Father-in-law Lu was the most suspicious and was held in solitary confinement in prison. Without waiting for severe interrogation, he committed suicide by taking poison.
“…… He died a light and painful death, and even we, the servants, had no future. ”
Gonggong Ding was tortured, and his speech was weak and intermittent, his eyes were full of hatred and despair: "What the slave knows, I have already said it." The slave is also looking forward to the queen mother and finding out the truth as soon as possible. At least give the minions a clean slate. ”
The lives of the chamberlains are as cheap as paper. There is such a fatal thing in Yuqing Palace, and they will follow the peeling of their skin if they don't die.
Originally, the sixth prince was made the crown prince, and his close attendant also rose with the tide. Perhaps, there will be a day like Zhao's father-in-law in the future.
I never thought that this dream would be shattered so quickly.
If something like this happens, the attendants who are serving by the side of the six princes will definitely be replaced. It's a blessing that they were able to save this cheap life.
Yu Meiren looked at Gonggong Ding, who was dying with blood, and a trace of pity and happiness flashed in her eyes.
In the palace, the palace maids and chamberlains who serve their masters have to be cautious and careful. Once something happens, it is common to be punished by the board. Like Gonggong Ding, who has served his master carefully for several years, once he is implicated, this is the end.
She worked hard and finally changed from a slave to a master. It doesn't matter if you don't have the favor of the Son of Heaven, as long as you can live in the palace safely and securely, you can have good food and clothing.
……
The clues of Ding Gong's bus generation are indeed very crucial.
Empress Pei immediately ordered someone to secretly go to the Jiaofang Department to investigate carefully, and there were the names of Gonggong Lu's wife and daughter, and soon found out the name of the person who bought Gonggong Lu's young daughter from the records of the Jiaofang Division.
This person's surname is Zhang, and he is a merchant in Shu. After further investigation, it turned out that Zhang Xingshang's sister was the concubine of a low-ranking military general in the Shence Army.
This low-level military general was once a soldier of the Marquis of Yong'an.
When the clues are found here, it has been determined that the person behind Gonggong Lu is Yong'an Hou.
Empress Pei was furious, called Cheng Jinrong in private, gritted her teeth and said angrily: "This Pei Qin! Never had a good heart! actually planted eyeliner next to Xiao Liu a few years ago. At that time, Little Six was still a seven-year-old child! If he has bad intentions......"
A child of a few years old, if he is calculated, is also very likely to "die unexpectedly".
The more Empress Pei thought about it, the more frightened she felt, and subconsciously clenched Cheng Jinrong's hand.
Cheng Jinrong was not surprised when he heard this: "Six years ago, I was still living in the Yong'an Hou Mansion. Yong'an Hou has me in his hands, and he has eyeliner next to the six princes. ”
"This chess piece, he has never used. Because, once used, it is a dead chess. It is not easy to put eyeliner in the palace. There will not be many such 'chess pieces' in the hands of Yong'an Hou. ”
"I was a little puzzled. With Yong'an Hou as a person, he has been trying his best to show goodwill to the six princes in the past few months. It is necessary to take advantage of the momentum of the six princes to turn over. At such a time, how could he use dark chess to expose his eyeliner in front of his mother's eyes? What good will it do him to completely anger Niangniang and the Six Princes? ”
Oh, yes!
When you think about it, this matter is quite suspicious.
Empress Pei calmed down from her anger and thought carefully.
Cheng Jinrong pondered for a moment and whispered: "Yong'an Hou has been very close to the second prince over the years. Perhaps, he had already secretly revealed the secret chess in the palace to the second prince. ”
A cold glint flashed in Empress Pei's eyes: "You mean, this matter was done by the second prince!" ”
Cheng Jinrong's eyes flashed: "The Marquis of Yong'an frequently showed favor to the six princes, and the second prince was angry in his heart, and he used dark chess, which not only blocked the six princes and the emperor's mother, but also put the Marquis of Yong'an in a predicament. In my opinion, nine times out of ten, the mastermind of this matter is the second prince. ”
Empress Pei sneered: "This Yuantai! After being grounded for a year, and only three months out of the house, he began to be restless. ”
Cheng Jinrong glanced at Empress Pei deeply: "If the emperor asks about this, what does Niangniang plan to say?" ”
"Truthfully, of course!" Empress Pei took over the conversation without thinking: "The Marquis of Yong'an had ill intentions a few years ago, and the second prince was resentful, these two people are not good things!" The emperor is embarrassed by face, and it is inconvenient to deal with them in a righteous and bright manner, and he will be a little more disgusted in his heart. ”
Cheng Jinrong said lightly: "If the emperor is suspicious in his heart and asks Niangniang, why is Yong'anhou's uncle only close to the second prince but has bad intentions towards the sixth prince, why Yong'anhou planted eyeliner next to the sixth-year-old sixth prince six years ago, how does Niangniang plan to answer?" ”
Queen Pei: "......"
These words are like a basin of cold water, pouring raw on Queen Pei's heart.
"Niangniang's heart is angry, I know it. I'm just as angry. Cheng Jinrong sighed silently: "But right now, the six princes are fledgling, and the biggest reliance is on the emperor." Therefore, the emperor's suspicion must not be aroused. ”
"Yong'an Hou is no longer afraid, but he can't be cornered. In case he breaks the net, tell all the truth in front of the emperor. But the gains outweigh the losses! ”
Therefore, not only can this matter not be said, but it must be completely covered up.
Empress Pei thought for a moment before sighing: "You're right. I was too impulsive just now. ”
Now is not the time to completely eradicate Yong'an Hou.
The feeling of throwing a rat bogey is indeed a little depressing. But that's all there is to it for now.
Queen Pei lowered her voice and discussed with Cheng Jinrong for a long time.
……
On the evening of this day, Empress Pei told Emperor Xuanhe the "original situation" of the matter.
Father-in-law Lu's young daughter was bought and forced to become a pawn and placed on the side of the six princes. The one who bought the young daughter of Lu's father-in-law was a Shuzhong merchant surnamed Zhang.
“…… This businessman, surnamed Zhang, uses a pseudonym. After buying people, he left the capital and did not know his whereabouts. After six years, there is no way to check if you want to. ”
Empress Pei's eyes flashed with anger, and her brows furrowed: "Six years ago, Xiaoliu was still a child of a few years old. This mastermind behind the scenes, planting eyeliner next to a child, has sinister intentions. When the concubine thought of this, she felt a chill. ”
Nine true and one false. The previous words are true, and even the last two sentences are not lies.
However, such a tone, coupled with Queen Pei's angry and unwilling to speak out, although she did not say it explicitly, the spearhead was pointed at Zheng Jieyu.
Placing eyeliner next to the prince, who else is more convenient than Emperor Zheng, who was in charge of palace affairs back then?
The reasons and motivations are readily available. This basin of sewage, splashed on her body, couldn't be more suitable.
Sure enough, after hearing these words, Emperor Xuanhe's eyes flashed with anger, and he snorted coldly: "This Zheng family is really like a poisonous scorpion!" ”
