Chapter 268: Brother Qian
Huilan had just given birth, and the family of four was rare, and it was still very cold in the first month, so she hung a lot of fire essence beads in the house to keep warm, so that there was no charcoal smoke and it was not easy to be poisoned.
Only a copper brazier was placed in the main hall, and boiling some water could also keep the palace ladies warm.
Huilan hasn't been out of confinement yet, but she has taken good supplements, her figure has recovered, her complexion is ruddy and good-looking, and her cultivation is slowly recovering, just a few days away.
Sister Xin was lying on the side of the bed and playing happily with her younger brother, and Li Chengze personally named him, Li Qian, Qiankun's Qian.
Huilan called her son Brother Qian.
Lilac hurried in the door, her face not very good.
"What's wrong? Why do you have such an expression? ”
Hui Lan looked at her with a smile and asked.
Lilac glanced at Sister Xin and didn't speak, Huilan thought for a while and spoke, "Let's say, Sister Xin has also grown up, and she can't not understand nothing." ”
"The charcoal fire was found to be poisonous, the second-class palace maid Xiuyun fell ill, it has been several days, everyone didn't notice that it was related to the charcoal fire before, she was sick for a few days and didn't get well, just after Dr. Xu came to check your pulse, I cheekily begged and let Xiuyun take a look, but I didn't expect to see the problem, and after looking for a long time, I found that it was a matter of charcoal fire."
Sister Xin exclaimed, "Poisoned? To a palace maid? No, what is the value of the palace maid, Brother Qiange and I are valuable. ”
She wrinkled her brow and muttered.
"That's right, you and Brother Qian's only have the value of poisoning, you are a girl and don't get in the way of the princes, so no one has beaten your idea over the years, and you can't take risks. But Brother Qiange is different, he is the son of the concubine, and he will be the queen's concubine in the future, so it naturally has the meaning of adventure. ”
Huilan doesn't hide it from her daughter, she is getting older, and she must understand the sinister things that should be known.
Sister Xin's face was cold, "Bastard thing!" My younger brother was born less than a month ago, and he lacks virtue! Mother, we can't let go of these bad guys, we have to protect our younger brother! ”
Childishly red eyes, it turns out that they really don't like our sister and brother, and we are the thorn in the side.
This cognition is a blow to Sister Xin, and the peaceful harem also hides such a dark murderous intention.
Huilan raised her hand and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her daughter's eyes, "Don't cry, it's not worth your tears for them, you help your mother think about it, who is most likely to attack your brother, you are also older, you should know in your heart." ”
Sister Xin pursed her lips and looked at her younger brother's sleeping face, turning her brain, "Anyone is possible, according to what you said, the mothers and concubines of the four elder brothers are all suspicious." But Wang and Yu Ning were born as palace maids, so they may not be so capable, and my father's control over the harem is still relatively high.
Then there are only the Qian family and the Zhang family left, the father said that the Zhang family has soft ears, and has always relied on the Qian family, and it is only in the past two years that he has learned to take charge of himself, but in fact, he does not have much ability, and he does not dare to do risky things.
Then there is only the Qian family left, and I see that my eldest brother is the most high-spirited on weekdays, and he is also a commanding tone to several brothers, so I know that the Qian family is a decisive and open-minded person.
And the eldest brother is the eldest son, the people at the bottom are very popular, I have been playing in my father's study to learn to practice calligraphy before you came back, and the eldest brother once taught me a lesson, let me be sensible, don't get old and annoy my father.
I didn't understand at the time, so I asked Yan's grandmother, and she said that he was jealous of me and told me not to pay attention to it. Put these clues together carefully, then the Qian family is the person with the most guts and reasons to do bad things, and get rid of the younger brother, the eldest brother will have a better chance. ”
Sister Xin's serious analysis, these are all learned by witnessing and learning on weekdays, following a shrewd person like Li Chengze and Pei Liang, they will guide Sister Xin to learn to think on her own bit by bit, and never tell her the answer, but let her find a way to find clues and explore the truth by herself.
"Very good, the analysis is in place, then the mother concubine will give you a chance, Yongshou Palace will be taken care of by you, and people will also be transferred by you, how to investigate this matter and how to deal with it is up to you, my requirements are very simple, you sisters and brothers are one, cut meat without leaving the skin, you have to ask for justice for your brother to come back, you can't leave it because he can't speak, I Yongshou Palace will not suffer this loss."
Huilan glanced at her daughter.
"Okay, my daughter will give you a satisfactory explanation."
Sister Xin stood up, "Aunt Lilac, please come with me to see my father with the charcoal fire in question, this matter must be known to my father, and then don't tell the people outside about Xiuyun's illness, go and find out who sent the charcoal, where it came from, and who passed by." Let Aunt Qiuyun go with you, it's best to send a little girl to inquire, don't startle the snake. ”
"Okay, slave and maid, let's do it."
Since Huilan wants to teach her children to be independent, the people below naturally need to cooperate with their rights.
"I'm going to see my father now."
Sister Xin tidied up her clothes, put on a small face, and took Yurui, Yurui did a good job last time, and was promoted to a second-class palace maid, so she could follow Sister Xin in and out with her side.
Hui Lan showed a smile, let the children toss, it's all for the children to join forces, you make whetstones for my children, isn't the knife sharpened.
Sister Xin rushed all the way into the study, she came every day, and Chang Ji didn't stop her at all.
"Father, father, woo woo!"
Sister Xin was already crying when she entered the door, and a fierce son fell into Li Chengze's arms and howled and cried.
"What's going on? Whoever bullied you, tell your father and give you anger. ”
Li Chengze was startled, holding his daughter up and down, thinking that the child was injured.
"Father, someone wants to harm my younger brother, Xiuyun is sick......"
Sister Xin was out of breath when she cried, and her expression was not clear.
Li Chengze glanced at Yurui, who was kneeling on the ground, "What's the matter?" Say. ”
"Back to the emperor, Xiuyun inhaled too much charcoal smoke and fell ill, the doctor diagnosed it as poisoning, Xiuyun is just a palace maid is not worth such a big fight, the princess said that she was going to harm her brother, and she came to sue while crying."
Yurui was also clever and added her own guesses.
"Got it, you go down."
Li Chengze's face also darkened, he knew why the charcoal fire was not sent to Brother Qian, Huilan was disgusted, the house was full of fireworks, it was useless, all of them were hung with fire essence beads for warmth, and they were clean. That's why they failed.
"Father, my younger brother is still so young, why?"
Sister Xin's eyes were red when she cried.
"Don't be afraid, with your father here, what does your mother say?"
Li Chengze took a handkerchief to help his daughter wipe away her tears.
"The mother concubine said let me investigate this matter, let me find justice for my brother, I guess it was the mother concubine Qian who did it, she has enough reasons, but I have no evidence, I sent someone to ask just now, but I may not be able to get the news, it may have been ruined."
Sister Xin pursed her lips and was not very happy, Uncle Liang said that after the bad guys finished doing things, they would destroy all the clues and evidence as soon as they were done.
"If someone dies, someone must have done it, not by accident."
Sister Xin thought for a long time and said such a useless sentence.
"Very good, my father will help you find a way, you go and check if it's good, Sister Xin is very smart and sensible, she knows how to protect her brother and find justice for her brother, Sister Xin is great!"
Li Chengze understood what Huilan meant, and they took the initiative to bump into each other, so they couldn't blame Huilan for using them as whetstones for the child.
