He left, but he didn't let Yuan send something over. Just let Liu Wu bring a few pieces of clothes over, and by the way, come to serve Wanyi.

After dinner, seeing that the prince was still in good spirits, the emperor moved him back to the East Palace.

And the people of the Shen Mansion were placed under house arrest in the mansion.

Wanyi also went to the East Palace with the imperial doctors.

Before leaving, she wanted to go and see Shen Rulan. was told that before the case was clarified, no one could see anyone from the Shen family without the permission of the emperor.

Seeing this, Wanyi had no choice but to give up.

At night, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince rarely had a good night's sleep.

Soon, news also came from the Zongren Mansion.

It turns out that this poison is still a guest of the prince, named Meng Ke.

Meng Ke has always been sleek, and he usually gets very close to the prince's guard.

That morning, when he saw the guards carrying wine to the carriage, he leaned over to take a look, and by the way, while the people were unprepared, he poured some powder of floating grass into it.

He also has someone in General Shen's mansion and is a steward in the mansion.

This floating grass is generally not easy to detect, and it is originally a royal wine. So, when the steward checked it, he just looked at it so-so and tasted a little bit.

By the time the guards found the steward in the Shen Mansion, he had already committed suicide in his room.

There was a letter left on the table, saying that the matter was instructed by Shen Chengjun.

Shen Chengjun is the second son of General Shen Lao, and now serves in the Hanlin Academy.

As for his personal vendetta with the steward, it is difficult to describe.

Everyone in the house knows about it.

Yes, no one believed that Shen Chengjun would cooperate with him to frame the prince.

Although Shen Chengjun's suspicion was quickly cleared. But the emperor had a mustard in his heart, so he didn't plan to let go of the Shen family.

And Meng Ke insisted that he was just to take revenge on the prince to vent his hatred, and there was no one behind the scenes.

The emperor was puzzled: "Why did he choose General Shen's Mansion as the place to poison the crown prince?" ”

Xing Bu Shangshu, who replied, heard this, and cold sweat covered his forehead.

He wanted to ask, but what he had under him was a bunch of wine bags and rice bags. Without waiting for the interrogation to be clear, the torture equipment was aggravated on Meng Ke. As a result, Meng Ke couldn't hold it and died directly.

"Your Majesty, the minister doesn't know. The prisoner could not bear the punishment and had returned to the West. ”

The blue tendons on the emperor's forehead jumped a few times, and he pressed his forehead with his hand to hold back his anger.

It took a long time before he said, "Keep checking!" ”

"Yes!" Shangshu of the Criminal Department was pardoned, kowtowed and thanked him, and then left.

Seeing that Wanyi offered a prescription to relieve the prince's poison, the emperor and queen were very happy.

The next morning, after the queen came to see the crown prince, she specially summoned Wanyi.

After all, he can be regarded as his son's life-saving benefactor, but the queen is gone this time, and the arrogance and loneliness of the first time they met.

She just asked about the prince's body, and how she got the mutilated medical book?

Wanyi replied one by one according to what she had said earlier.

As for why it came to Zhuangzi?

Wanyi said according to Bofu's statement that she was originally dissatisfied with her biological mother's divorce and her stepmother's entry into the door, and she was hostile to her stepmother and dissatisfied with her brothers and sisters, so she was sent to Zhuangzi to repent;

After a period of time in Zhuangzi, he realized that he was a child who had lost the protection of his biological mother, and he could not be so willful. After suddenly waking up, he was determined to change his mind and be a new person.

As Wanyi spoke, the queen suddenly fell silent.

She was also the child who lost her biological mother when she was a child, but her mother died of illness.

Listening to Wanyi's words, the queen felt a sense of sympathy for a while.

I saw her sigh faintly, and then she spoke: "Stepmother is also a mother, and De Rong is better than your biological mother, but you must no longer be hostile to your stepmother in the future, and your stepmother's nurturing grace is much greater than her biological grace." ”

Wanyi replied honestly: "Yes!" ”

The queen suddenly remembered something, and suddenly asked, "Aren't you a concubine?" It's just an aunt who gave birth to you, and she deserves to be called your mother? Where can I call a housemother a stepmother? ”

In the face of the queen's sudden burst of pressure, Wanyi was not afraid, but raised her head, and her smile was a little helpless:

"Mother, you forgot? The identity of the courtier's daughter, the concubine of the Yin Ningbo Mansion, was still given by the emperor. Niangniang asked about how the courtiers got the medical book, but this matter was when the courtiers were still the concubines of the Yin Ning Bo Mansion. The courtiers didn't dare to deceive the mother, so they had to answer truthfully, and asked the mother to forgive her sins. ”

"Oh?"

Seeing Wanyi's expression, which didn't look like she was lying, the queen thought about it:

If Yin Ningbo's Mansion really replaces plums with peaches, I'm afraid that he will never send the daughter in the palm of his hand to Zhuangzi to endure hardship.

The queen was a little suspicious of herself, did she create an unjust, false and wrongful case at that time?

However, her doubts passed in the blink of an eye, this matter was decided by the emperor's golden mouth, and she would not be stupid to doubt what the emperor had decided.

Therefore, she quickly changed the subject: "You have made a meritorious contribution this time, but what reward do you need?" ”

Subconsciously, the queen thought that she was going to cry out for herself, because she was secretly ready to refuse, after all, the emperor was full of promises. Even if there is really any misunderstanding in this, it is absolutely impossible to be such a backsliding.

Who knows, Wanyi made another request:

"Queen Mother, General Shen's family, this time they are innocent. The wicked man clearly wanted to take advantage of this matter to kill two birds with one stone and harm the general's mansion. Niangniang, the courtiers don't want any rewards, they just want to implore the emperor and the queen to spare General Shen's family. ”

"Oh?" The queen was very surprised, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Why do you want to speak for them?" ”

Wanyi replied with unusually sincerity:

"Because Miss Shen San and her courtiers have an encounter with grace. Because of the embarrassment of the courtier's identity, whether they are concubines or concubines, they have few friends. Only Shen San did not dislike the background of the courtiers and treated the courtiers with sincerity. The courtier's woman spoke softly and couldn't repay it. I only hope to take the opportunity to make meritorious contributions to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, for the general's mansion, for the third girl Shen to be cheeky and ask for a reward, and do a good job. ”

Because Wanyi's biological mother is a cousin, even if she is a concubine, ordinary people will never allow their daughters to associate with such women for the sake of the girl's future reputation.

If this is the case, it is reasonable to plead for the Shen Mansion.

The queen thought for a moment and nodded slowly: "The palace will inform the emperor of this matter." ”

Although General Shen's Mansion has cleared the suspicion, the emperor is angry and blames the General's Mansion for its negligence and poor understanding of people, allowing the wicked to take advantage of the loopholes and almost make a big mistake. Until now, the house arrest of the people in the General's Mansion has not been lifted.

It's just that the guests who came to the General's Mansion as guests, as well as the clansmen, were just released.

In the afternoon of the next day, Wanyi was told that she could go home from the palace.

Wanyi asked the father-in-law who came to pass the word: "How are the people in General Shen's Mansion now?" ”
