Chapter 180: On the Divine Grass
In the front hall, the left minister sat with a gloomy face, and his expression was sad and difficult to hide his anger, but there was a faint hint of expectation. As soon as he saw Ji Lingyun come in, a pair of eyes stared straight up, and after a while, he suddenly remembered to get up and salute.
"The minister has seen His Royal Highness King An."
Ji Lingyun nodded and sat down, and asked nonchalantly, "I don't know why Prime Minister Zuo came here today?" ”
Ji Lingyun got straight to the point, and Zuo Xiang had no intention of greeting him again, took out a note from his sleeve and slapped it on the table, and asked, "The old minister dares to ask His Highness, is what is said in this letter true?" ”
Ji Lingyun looked down, as expected. He looked up at the man in front of him who was full of grief and anger, and slowly spoke: "The Su family is indeed imprisoned in Dali Temple, and it is the will of my father and the emperor himself. ”
Zuo Xiang said coldly: "But the person was arrested by His Royal Highness, and the emperor just listened to His Highness's words!" ”
Ji Lingyun also lowered his face and said: "When Zuo Xiang said this, does he mean that this king slandered the Su family?" ”
Although Zuo Xiang praised in his mouth: "Don't dare", it is obvious that this is what he meant.
Ji Lingyun couldn't help but sneer: "Then can Zuo Xiang know how the Su clan was captured?" ”
Without waiting for Zuo Xiang to speak, he said to himself: "The subordinate of the old lady Lan's mansion Guo is the fine work that Liao Guangtian installed in the capital, and the Su family went in disguise to look for someone as a relative of the Guo family, and there is still evidence of guilt hidden in his body.
When Guo saw that the matter was revealed, in order to prevent Su from leaking secrets, he wanted to kill him, but it was my people who saved him. Later, the old lady Lan entered the palace to face the saint, and was ashamed of herself, which alarmed her father to hand over the Su family and the Guo family to Dali Temple for review. ”
Zuo Xiang breathed a sigh of relief, and was suddenly speechless.
But in the end, he has been up and down in the officialdom for many years, and his face is naturally extraordinary, so he immediately changed his face and said slowly: "This kind of thing happened, it was the fault of Weichen's lax discipline." But the Su family has been waiting for Weichen for many years, and Weichen believes that she was only momentarily confused to commit such a foolish thing.
Weichen cheekily begged for it, and asked His Highness to make it easier. Let Weichen meet with him and ask the reason clearly, she will definitely be honest and clear, and she will never dare to deceive and commit it again. ”
Zuo Xiang's remarks were extremely inappropriate, and he clearly wanted to exonerate Su. The Su family has now been convicted, and the emperor attaches great importance to this matter, but Zuo Xiang still dares to intercede for him at the risk of disapproval, which shows that the rumors of spoiled concubines and wives are true.
Ji Lingyun's face became more and more ugly, if he was still suspicious just now, then he could now determine the true purpose of the person behind the scenes.
not only infiltrated Dali Temple to kill Guo's mother, but also used the strange cause to lure away the people of Dali Temple, secretly infiltrated and killed Su, and then revealed the news to Zuo Xiang. This plan of killing two birds with one stone is really vicious.
However, the matter has come to this point, and he was caught off guard, and in the face of Zuo Xiang's earnest look, Ji Lingyun had no choice but to tell the truth: "Last night, the thieves sneaked into the prison of Dali Temple and killed the Su family. ”
Zuo Xiang's body shook and almost fell. Kankan stood firm on the corner of the table, and it took a long time to squeeze out a sentence from between his teeth: "I don't believe it!" ”
The left prime minister's doubts are also reasonable. What kind of place is the prison in Dali Temple, and the people in it are all important prisoners, so they are naturally strictly guarded.
So far, the left minister has not been able to see him, even if he was reprimanded by the emperor for this, there is still a trace of hope in his heart, hoping that she was just wronged.
But now that people are imprisoned in Dali Temple, they have become separated by yin and yang, how can Zuo Xiang be willing! In addition, the inspection was done by King An, and Yang Gong, the secretary of Dali Temple, was the prince's person, and he was quite close to King Jian before.
Zuo Xiang hated and was extremely annoyed, he didn't want to believe that Su was a trick who betrayed him, and he didn't hear Su admit it in person, so he subconsciously believed that this was a conspiracy between King Jian and the crown prince.
He staggered back a few steps, looked at Ji Lingyun with blood-red eyes, and said in a bloody voice: "It's a good person to kill people, but I don't know whose way Huaiqin is in the way, and his death is so unclear." Although Weichen is soft-spoken, this matter will never be left like this! ”
Seeing Zuo Xiang leave with hatred, Ji Lingyun pressed his eyebrows with a headache. A pair of hands reached over to soothe his frowning brows, and Ji Lingyun pulled her hand down and held it in his hand.
Bai Yanran sighed: "Zuo is indeed in love with the Su family, but caring is chaotic, and he is being used instead. ”
Ji Lingyun's fingertips carefully rubbed her fingertips, and said with deep feelings: "Although Zuo Xiang is reckless, it is also human nature. Compare your heart to your heart, if something happens to you, I will definitely go crazy too. So Yan'er, you must not be fine. ”
The emperor was furious because of the death of Su and Guo's mother, and ordered the criminal department to strictly investigate the cadres in Dali Temple. Yang Gong naturally couldn't escape the involvement, and even Ji Chengyu was also quite implicated, and Zuo Xiang frequently spoke for Ji Sihong in the court.
But Ji Sihong's mind is not on it now, he only wants Concubine Song to be buried as a concubine. Concubine Song's coffin is still in the mourning hall and has not been buried for a long time, but fortunately, now the ice and snow are still unharmed, if it is summer, how can it be delayed here.
However, Ji Sihong was not completely confused, and ordered people to inquire about Shenyu Cao. However, Shenyu grass is a legendary sacred grass, and most folk doctors have only heard of legends, but they don't know much. Fly Lu
Just when Ji Sihong was anxious, he was reminded by Qian Wan'er to think of the Tai Hospital, and suddenly realized that the consequences really came to the news from the Tai Doctor Ling Zhang.
Doctor Zhang Taiyi is over the age of six, and he is benevolent, and Ji Sihong is trustworthy. Doctor Zhang listened to what Ji Sihong said, and thought for a moment before he spoke: "It's not a secret, Weichen happened to see this Shenyu grass in the medical herb record some time ago. Legend has it that hundreds of years ago, there was a kingdom of Yu, the monarch was seriously ill, and the prince prayed for his father day and night, willing to exchange his own life expectancy for his father's health and longevity.
The prince's benevolence touched the heavens, and the gods gave the divine herbs, using the prince's essence and blood as the introduction medicine, which really made the monarch turn the crisis into safety. Later generations will be called the god grass Shenyu grass, it is said that the blood of parents and children will be used in medicine, if it is not a parent, it will be poisoned by the backlash and die. ”
Hearing Taiyi Zhang's words, Ji Sihong was overjoyed, where could he still listen to the words behind. When the Shenyu grass was offered, he pricked his fingertips and took his own essence and blood to leave it as a medicine guide.
Imperial Physician Zhang was naturally overjoyed to see this legendary divine herb, and after carefully checking that it was not toxic, he personally concocted it into the medicine.
In just half a day, His Royal Highness King Jian used essence blood into medicine, and the news that he wanted to offer divine grass to the emperor spread all over the harem. When Imperial Physician Zhang handed over the cup of decoction to Ji Sihong, half of the palace people heard the news.
Ji Sihong tried his best to please Yuan and Emperor He, so he naturally didn't mind his reputation for benevolence and filial piety. However, before he arrived at the Deshang Palace, he was stopped by Concubine Lan who came in a hurry.
"The son-in-law greets the concubine. Does my mother know what I've found? This is the legendary god Yu grass that can cure all diseases and prolong life......"
Ji Sihong was originally full of joy and invited merit, but when he saw Concubine Lan's face sank, he scolded: "Nonsense! The emperor's dragon body is related to the country, and you dare to take it to the emperor even if you don't know the importance and are not clear.
Don't think I don't know what kind of calculation you have in mind, dispel this idea as soon as possible, this palace will never agree. Fooling around, I don't think you're awake yet! ”
Ji Sihong seemed to have been poured a basin of cold water on his head, and defended angrily: "Mother, this Shenyu grass is the result of the hard work of the sons, and it is not an unclear thing, even the imperial doctor's order said that this Shenyu grass does have miraculous effects. ”
Concubine Lan naturally knew what Imperial Doctor Zhang said, and even knew it even better, even if it was necessary for the blood of parents and children to be used in medicine, otherwise they would be counterattacked.
It was precisely because of this that she couldn't let Ji Sihong send this decoction. Even though the legends are often false, and the rhetoric is not true, Concubine Lan is weak and naturally does not dare to take risks.
She said with a cold face: "Couldn't you listen to the words of this palace now?" The emperor is the true son of the mandate of heaven, and he has the blessing of heaven and will be able to live a long life.
Instead of focusing on these side doors, you should take a good look at the household. This position of the household servant has now been regained, if you don't know how to cherish it, this palace can't help you. ”
Ji Sihong's face was full of spirit, he was silent for a long time, reluctantly moved his lips, and said: "In this case, those decoctions will be given to the concubine." This medicine is not easy to obtain, it is indeed beneficial to the body, and it is good for the mother to use it. ”
Concubine Lan said impatiently: "This palace has always been healthy, so you don't have to worry about it." If you really think about the body of this palace, don't mention the Song family again, An An is waiting to marry the lord of Mingzhu County, this is what you should do. ”
At this moment, a voice interjected not far away.
"My sister's words are wrong, His Royal Highness King Jianwang is filial, why should my sister speak so harshly."
Concubine Lan turned her head to look at it, and when she saw Concubine Shu who was dressed up in flowers, her heart was suddenly unhappy, and her eyes were even colder.
"This palace teaches its own children, so you don't have to worry about Concubine Shu's sister."
Concubine Shu didn't care about it and giggled: "What my sister said is that it is naturally good to have a longing child by her side." ”
Concubine Lan frowned, always feeling that Concubine Shu had something to say. However, before she could think about it, she heard Concubine Shu say again: "But my sister has just come from Deshang Palace, my sister can relax, the emperor has heard the news early, and now he is waiting for His Royal Highness King Jian." ”
Concubine Lan's heart was beating wildly, staring at Concubine Shu fiercely. Concubine Shu smiled wantonly, and her young and delicate face became more and more hateful. If it weren't for Concubine Shu chewing the root of her tongue, how could such gossip reach the emperor's ears.
Ji Sihong's reaction was diametrically opposed to Concubine Lan, he was overjoyed, and said, "In that case, Mother Concubine, the minister will go." ”
Ji Sihong said that he was going to leave with Xu Quan, Lan Guifei panicked, angry and anxious, stepped forward and slapped Ji Sihong in the face, and there was a sudden silence after the crisp sound.
Don't talk about others, even Ji Sihong was stunned, and it took a long time to come back to his senses, and he looked at Lan Guifei in disbelief. Lan Guifei glanced at Zhuyu on the side, and Zhuyu understood, so she stepped forward and snatched the decoction in Xu Quan's hand.
Xu Quan knew how much thought the master had wasted for this cup of soup and medicine, and he didn't get the master's instructions, so he naturally didn't dare to hand over the things.
He is a person who practices martial arts, and Zhuyu can't grab it, so he reprimanded angrily: "Bold slave, dare to disobey the order of the concubine, don't hand over the things quickly!" ”
Concubine Lan was annoyed in her heart, Ji Sihong was not successful enough, and Ji Sihong was stubborn and refused to nod. At the time of the stalemate, I saw a team of honor guards in front of me coming slowly, it was the queen Tong.
