Chapter 4 Doubts are rife
The next day, Pei Shengyuan greeted the Queen Mother.
The two chatted for a while, and the Queen Mother said: "How long is the emperor going to delay the canonization of the new queen?" ”
Pei Shengyuan did not respond positively: "Queen Mother, it's cold, you have to pay attention to your body." Erchen still has official business, so I will say goodbye first. ”
was about to leave, but the queen mother stopped and said: "The emperor has been married for four years, and there are no heirs so far. It will attract criticism and shake the country's foundation. ”
How could Pei Shengyuan not know the powerful relationship, but he always felt in his heart that the queen should be Yang Mubai. kept dragging it out because he wanted to calm down the relationship between him and Zheng Li, he didn't want to break his oath with Zheng Li, and wanted to let Zheng Li retreat through cold treatment.
After preliminary negotiations with Zheng Li yesterday, Zheng Li will not budge. Perhaps, it's time for him to make a new queen.
The Queen Mother saw that Pei Shengyuan seemed to be shaken, and then said: "You and Mu Mu ...... After all, she is blessed. The dead are gone, and the living are like this. ”
Pei Shengyuan nodded: "Erchen should consider it and arrange the future affairs in a timely manner." ”
The Queen Mother was very satisfied, and there was no need to say a basket of words of comfort and consolation.
Pei Shengyuan came to Fengyi Palace again at night, and it seemed that there was still Yang Mubai's breath here. Because the incense, flowers and fruits here are all Yang Mubai's favorites.
In the evening, he stayed in Fengyi Palace. Had a long, chaotic dream. The dream is very clear, from the big wedding to Yang Mubai's departure, it is like watching flowers. In the past, he only dreamed of Yang Mubai's face, but this time, he also saw his own face.
dreamed of the wedding day, Pei Shengyuan's face went from cold at the beginning to emotion, and then to pity. He clearly saw that he kissed Yang Mubai emotionally, caressed with affection, and hugged gently. He whispered softly: "Mu Mu, I love you." Mumu, I want you. Mu Mu, you are mine, you will always be my Mu Mu ......" is like a loving couple, is this so?
As soon as the screen turned, they were eating. The table was full of Yang Mubai and his favorite food. Yang Mubai will take the palace people away, and every time he will give him the dishes, Pei Shengyuan will also give Yang Mubai the vegetables. Sometimes their eyes met, Yang Mubai always smiled sweetly, occasionally laughed, leaned forward and backward with laughter, Pei Shengyuan smiled with crooked eyebrows. Then stop the chopsticks and watch Yang Mubai eat, or quietly listen to Yang Mubai tell interesting things inside and outside the palace. Even if it is a small trivial matter, under Yang Mubai's interpretation, it becomes lively and interesting. With Yang Mubai here, he will always be so happy and never lonely.
Sometimes Yang Mubai was halfway through his own speech, laughing so much that he couldn't straighten his waist, Pei Shengyuan would hold her in his arms and let her sit on his lap. Then gently patted her on the back, gently gave her a soothing, and said softly: "Mu Mu, that's enough, don't talk about it, don't talk about it." "Such a natural, such a warm scene, how can it be forgotten, how can it be willing to forget.
After eating, the hospital would boil tonic medicine for Yang Mubai, and every time Yang Mubai was bitter and didn't want to drink it. Pei Shengyuan had to coax for a while, candied fruit, candy, and finally a long kiss. turned the bitterness in Yang Mubai's mouth into the sweetness in his heart.
Then he went to another room, it was the day Yang Mubai left, and Yang Mubai said goodbye to him. He grabbed Yang Mubai's hand tightly, but he couldn't grasp it. Pei Shengyuan desperately chased after him, his feet seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, and he couldn't move forward. I could only repeat hoarsely: "Mu Mu don't go, Mu Mu wait for me." ”
Suddenly, Yang Mubai turned around, with a smile on his face. In an instant, Yang Mubai's face became cold and hateful, and he said to him viciously: "Pei Shengyuan, I hate you!" Then he was gone.
Pei Shengyuan has never seen Yang Mubai like this, in his impression, Yang Mubai is lively, splendid, and coquettish, even if he is very angry, he will only pout and say, "Hmph, I ignore you." This is the most ferocious expression that Yang Mubai thinks, in Pei Shengyuan's eyes, this cuteness makes people can't take their eyes off, and they can't help but want to kiss a few bites.
He thought to himself: Did Yang Mubai know something. Hurriedly said: "Mu Mu, I'm sorry, I'm sorry...... I never wanted to kill you, I just ...... It's just that your father is too powerful. If you give birth to the emperor's eldest son, your father does not retire, and your relatives interfere in politics, the consequences are unimaginable. ”
Pei Shengyuan woke up from a dream, but he couldn't tell the difference between reality and dreams. He kept thinking back to the scene in his dream, and he couldn't help but wonder. How could Yang Mubai say words that hated him, even in a dream, Yang Mubai's words could pierce his heart and stab him where it hurt the most.
For more than three months, he was so busy with the locust plague that he neglected a lot of things. Looking back now, the day Yang Mubai left, at the last moment, she didn't look at him and was reluctant. Instead, he stretched out his hand to Zhang Shan, and the last smile was a sense of relief. The smile that went straight to his heart was something he hadn't seen for a long time, when was it? It seems that since Yang Mubai got sick intermittently, his temper has become bigger, and he used to only think that he was sick and in a bad mood.
Now it seems that Yang Mubai already knows the inside story, but he pretends to be fine, acts by his side, and escapes from him with death. Then, he denied this answer again, if he was going to die, why not have a showdown with him, and disguise with him?
Pei Shengyuan faced Yang Mubai's death for the first time. He couldn't figure it out, so he hurriedly summoned Xu Lang, the secret guard secretary (who manages the intelligence behind the scenes), and Liu Shuo, the commander of the forbidden army, (the imperial city army and the intelligence management of the bright face). At four o'clock in the middle of the night, the convening arrived, no matter how high the status of the ancient times, it was also a proper overtime dog, and he did not dare to complain.
Pei Shengyuan explained the situation. Xu Lang and Liu Shuo glanced at each other, then thought of the same answer, and returned: "Your Majesty, perhaps, the queen mother is cheating to death." ”
Pei Shengyuan hoped that this was true, but he was afraid that it was true. If it was really a fraud to leave the palace, then Yang Mubai was determined to leave him, and he must have known what happened.
Xu Lang and Liu Shuo marked the information on the canvas, the conditions required for the queen to leave the palace.
When the queen was sick and could not be cured for a long time----- the shaman divined ------ faked death (fake death medicine), ----- when the locust plague was rampant------- the queen mother decreed to ------ Zhang Shan for funeral
It stands to reason that when the queen marries into the harem, it is impossible to leave the palace again, and she will be buried in the royal garden when she dies. And the first queen left the palace because of the shaman's divination, and the time node of the occurrence happened to be the time when the locust plague was overflowing, which is particularly suspicious here.
Pei Shengyuan put his hand in his sleeve, clenched his fist, his heart turned upside down, anger welled up in his heart, and his face was expressionless.
calmed down and said, "What do you think is the way to find out?" ”
Liu Shuo replied: "Your Majesty, the shaman has a friendship with the ancestors, although he has no real power, he is also quite respected, so he should put it aside first." Starting from the source of the hospital, the imperial doctor who has a relationship with the queen will be examined, and if there is a problem, it will definitely be able to be tried. ”
The forbidden army also picks soft pillars and pinchs, which is enough.
Pei Shengyuan asked Xu Lang: "Recently, are General Zhang Shan and Yang Xiangfu suspicious?" ”
Xu Lang reported the situation: "General Zhang is in the barracks, and there is no suspicion. Seven days ago, I took a vacation and went home to see Yang Xiangguo once. ”
Then he frowned, looking very entangled. Seeing this, Pei Sheng motioned for him to continue: "Report anything suspicious." ”
Xu Lang continued: "Yang Xiangfu bought a new maid named Chen Chunhua, which is very popular with Yang Xiang and Mrs. Yang Xiang, and is a personal maid. On the day of Zhang Shan's vacation, after saying goodbye to Yang Xiang, he went out to play with Chen Chunhua and his entourage for a day. I checked Chen Chunhua, there is no suspicion, it was Yang Xiangguo who bought it from Chen Orion for ten taels of silver. I have confirmed with Orion, and I have also confirmed with Orion's neighbors through portraits, and there is no problem. Chen Chunhua went to Yang Xiang's Mansion on the eighth day of the first month, and the queen's funeral car went to Yang Xiangguo's Mansion on the ninth day. ”
The clue is broken here, it can be confirmed that Chen Chunhua is not Yang Mubai, so Yang Xiangguofu and Zhang Shan have no people, if Yang Mubai is still alive, then where can she be? Is it really dead, all this is reasonable.
Liu Shuo said: "The secret guard is staring so closely, from the funeral to the present, he has not relaxed, there is really no problem." ”
The little hope that sprung up in Pei Shengyuan's heart seemed to have been dashed again. But he is not reconciled, even if it is only a little unreasonable, he will investigate to the end.
He said to them, "Go back first, and tomorrow I will go to the court to try the Tai Hospital, and I will try it together." ”
