Chapter 173: Questioning
When the emperor heard the news, he was shocked. He didn't expect Ye Xiaoyan to die, he still had a lot of things he wanted Ye Xiaoyan to contribute, how could she die for such a small thing?
The emperor sighed: How rare it is to come from another world! He also planned to let Ye Xiaoyan go to the Western Regions to see if she could unlock the passage to the outside world.
According to the royal secret records, the passage to the outside world is in the Western Regions, near the place where the goddess sleeps, and now the land of the Mu clan. Because that's where the ancestors came in. It is said that the passage is a crack in the air, which then expands into a cave door, and when you step in, that is, you go from one world to another.
As for how the passage was opened, Mrs. Xiao and the first generation of Patriarch Mu recorded that it was the goddess who drew a talisman in the air. Later, they tried to imitate the trajectory of the goddess's drawing, but it didn't work. Later, the first emperor also tried, but it didn't work. It stands to reason that the mountain and river map is a treasure of the Nangong family, and the people of the Nangong family should be able to open it, but they don't know what the key is, they just can't open it.
Although the emperor feels that Ye Xiaoyan may not be able to solve the mystery, at least she is from another world and has a wide range of knowledge, and she may be able to deduce the key to it.
The emperor regrets it a little now, and he should have stopped it at that time and didn't let the queen mother take her away.
Suddenly, the emperor thought of something. Ye Xiaoyan may not have committed suicide, but was killed. Why did the Queen Mother try her best to marry Xu Zishu to You'er, probably because she valued something about You'er. If it is just a side concubine, wouldn't it be better to be the side concubine of the eldest prince, and Nangong Yu will inherit the throne in the future. However, the Queen Mother also knows that the Zhao family is powerful, and although Zhao Yayun is weak, the Zhao family can't afford to provoke them, not to mention that there is a queen. Needless to say, the second prince, the example of Concubine Shen is in front, Jiang Lun is not Ye Fusheng, and the father and daughter of the Jiang family are of the same heart. And Nangong You, he has nothing, outsiders don't know the inside story, they just saw Nangong You's gradual comeback, but they didn't know that Ye Xiaoyan was fueling the trouble.
Xu Zishu entered the mansion, and Ye Xiaoyan committed suicide, which was too coincidental. If Ye Xiaoyan dies early, according to the mourning system, King Xuan will have to keep filial piety for a year, and Xu Zishu will not be able to enter the palace. If Ye Xiaoyan is let go back, Xu Zishu will become the decoration of the Xuanwang Mansion. If she keeps it closed, Ye Xiaoyan's belly is getting bigger day by day, and when the child is born, the Queen Mother can't close it if she wants to, and if Ye Xiaoyan gives birth to her eldest son, even if the Queen Mother creates a chance for Xu Zishu, then Xu Zishu can't get past Ye Xiaoyan. So the best thing to do is to kill, and last night was a good opportunity to do it. The more the emperor thought about it, the more he felt that the queen mother was very suspicious.
At this time, a eunuch came to report: "Your Majesty, the queen mother invites you to go to the Queen Mother's Palace, His Royal Highness King Xuan has killed people in the Queen Mother's Palace!" ”
The emperor asked, "Who did you kill?" ”
"King Xuan killed Concubine Xu."
"Concubine Xu is dead?"
"Not yet, it's just that Concubine Xu is seriously injured, and the imperial doctor said that life and death are just a thin line."
The emperor frowned.
The eunuch saw that the emperor had no intention of getting up, and said: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Xuan is very emotional, and the queen is afraid that His Royal Highness King Xuan will do something again." ”
Only then did the emperor stand up and say, "Let's go." ”
The Empress Dowager.
Nangong You called the palace maid who came in last night to the front and asked her all about last night. The palace maid talked about it again, and it was roughly what Nangong You knew.
Nangong You asked, "What happened later?" What else was wrong with that? ”
The maid replied, "I haven't heard anything since then." ”
Nangong You asked, "Where did that knife come from?" ”
The palace maid didn't look closely at the style of the knife, and replied: "There is a knife in the princess's house. He gestured to his desk.
Nangong You looked in the direction of his finger, and saw that on the desk in front of the window, there were some wooden boards and some knives of all sizes.
He walked over and saw that they were all knives. Looking at the wooden boards again, I saw that there were words carved on them, almost all of them were broken.
Nangong You asked: "These are carved by the princess?" ”
"Yes." The palace maid replied: "The princess said that she was studying, studying what seals. The palace maid once asked Princess Xuan what she wanted to engrave, and Ye Xiaoyan replied that she was studying woodblock printing. The palace maid didn't understand, but she looked at the princess's carving, like a seal she had seen before, but there were more words, so she thought that the princess might be carving a seal.
Nangong You saw the bad words engraved on it, and her heart was suffocated, Yan'er was indeed thinking of a way. He knew that this little woman was smart, and when he saw the words on it, he guessed that Yan'er was going to engrave all the "Daughter's Book", and then like a seal, wouldn't it be stamped out one by one.
Nangong You felt that she was really stupid! Stupid.
Nangong You said: "The princess is not this kind of knife in her hand. Where did the knife in the princess's hand come from? ”
"Slave, slave doesn't know." The palace maid knelt on the ground, her body trembling.
"Call the others in one by one, and this king will interrogate them himself."
Nangong You vaguely felt that Yan'er might really commit suicide before, but when she thought of the knife. yes, where did that knife come from?
The Queen Mother and the Empress withdrew from Princess Xuan's room, and found a nearby room to sit down, Xu Zishu was in the next room, and the best doctors from the Tai Hospital came, but they were all men, and if they wanted to treat Xu Zishu's injuries, they had to take off her clothes. She was wounded in the chest, which was the last place that a woman could not be seen, and the doctors were very embarrassed.
A imperial physician asked the Queen Mother for instructions: "The Queen Mother, Concubine Xu is injured in the chest, and the officials are really not good at treating her." Now the knife is still inserted in Concubine Xu's chest, once the knife is drawn, it is necessary to stop the bleeding and treat it quickly, but, alas! The subordinates are all men. ”
The Queen Mother asked, "Are there no other female doctors in the palace?" ”
The imperial doctor said: "Yes, yes, but they usually only do some medicine work, Concubine Xu is seriously injured, and the subordinates are afraid that the female doctor will not be competent." Don't say that the female doctor is the lower officials, and they don't dare to guarantee that there is no difference. ”
The Queen Mother said: "Call the female doctor first, and then think about it." ”
"Yes, please ask the Queen Mother to show her as soon as possible, Concubine Xu will not last long."
The chagrin in the queen mother's heart, of course, this knife is the most suitable for King Xuan to pull out in person, but King Xuan wants Xu Zishu's life, how can he save her, this Ye Xiaoyan is really hateful, and he committed suicide in her palace. The Queen Mother was very angry.
The queen said on the side: "Queen Mother, let's let the imperial doctors come." As the saying goes, there are no men or women in the eyes of the doctor, and it is important to save people. If the female doctor's hands tremble at that time, she will make some kind of mistake. Life is at stake, and I don't care about the difference between men and women. ”
The Queen Mother wanted to help Xu Zishu keep her innocence, and she was seen by so many imperial doctors, how would she behave in the future.
The Queen Mother thought for a while and said, "Then let one or two imperial doctors come!" Don't let too many people see her injuries. ”
The imperial physicians received the decree of the Empress Dowager and sent two imperial physicians who were the best at trauma to treat them, with the female doctors working on the side, and the others exiting the room and waiting outside.
