"According to what the slave learned, this Shen Wugongzi bullied the people and carried a lot of murders," Hu Yihui said cautiously.
Gaozong frowned and asked, "Who pressed down on that evil beast for all these things?" ”
Hu Yihui saw that Gaozong was angry, and quickly knelt down and said: "Holy forgiveness, these old slaves really can't find out." ”
Hearing Hu Yihui say this, Gaozong calmed down a little bit of anger and said to Xue Jinxiu: "I will definitely give you and Changqing an explanation for this matter." ”
Xue Jinxiu saluted Gaozong to show his gratitude, and Gaozong waved his hand to signal Xue Jinxiu to sit down first.
"Zhou Xin listens to orders", Gaozong said to Zhou Xin.
Hearing this, Zhou Xin quickly got up and knelt in front of Gaozong and said, "Erchen is here." ”
"I ordered you to find out about Shen Zifu and give the county lord of Jinxiu justice," Gaozong ordered.
As soon as Gaozong said this, Zhou Xin and Xue Jinxiu were stunned.
Let Zhou Xin go to investigate the affairs of the Shen family, Gaozong is forcing him to kill his relatives in righteousness?
Seeing that Zhou Xin had not received the decree for a long time, Gaozong asked, "Is there a problem?" ”
Zhou Xin hesitated for a moment, waved his hand at Gaozong, and said, "Erchen has the order." ”
Gaozong nodded and asked Zhou Xin and Xue Jinxiu to retreat together.
After the two left, Gao Zongcai sighed and asked Hu Yihui: "Isn't it too unreasonable for me to ask the third child to investigate the affairs of the Shen family?" ”
was asked by Gaozong like this, Hu Yihui didn't know what to say. Let Zhou Xin check Shen Zifu, this is obviously a multiple-choice question.
If Zhou Xin kills his relatives with righteousness, then he will stand on the opposite side of the entire Shen family. If it can't be dealt with impartially, Gaozong's side will inevitably punish Zhou Xin.
Hu Yihui sighed and said from the bottom of his heart: "After all, His Royal Highness is still a child who has not yet reached the weak crown. ”
Gaozong also sighed with Hu Yihui, "The third child is not bad in nature, and these ideas of seeking power and usurping the throne and being inferior to his concubine instilled by his mother since he was a child have today's situation", Gaozong coughed a few times when he said this, "My days are numbered, and it is a merit to be able to bring Xin'er back on the right track." ”
Hu Yihui just wanted to open his mouth to comfort Gaozong, but Gaozong waved his hand and said, "I owe a lot to Xin'er. ”
Shen Zifu's matter was spread to Shen Guifei's ears in just half a day.
In the final analysis, it was Mrs. Fahrenheit's heartfelt heart that made the news known to everyone. Shen Qingfeng was not at home, so Hua naturally tried his best to protect his little son, so he could only come to ask Shen Guifei.
Shen Guifei has a good relationship with Hua's family. Before they came out of the cabinet, these two were little sisters who could share weal and woe. Even though the Shen family later entered the palace and the Hua family married Shen Guifei's younger brother Shen Qingfeng, the relationship between the two did not change because of the change in distance.
What's more, Shen Qingfeng's contributions over the years are also an important pillar supporting the Shen family in the harem.
"The courtiers also asked the concubine to save Zifu", Hua knelt on the ground and cried.
Shen Guifei couldn't see the humble appearance of her little sister, not to mention that the former little sister was still her current brother-in-law, how could she not pull a hand?
"You get up and talk slowly", Shen Guifei stretched out her hand and took Mrs. Hua up.
Hua Shi told Shen Guifei what happened, and naturally lightly talked about Shen Zifu's sinful past.
After the matter was finished, Shen Guifei sighed and said, "This matter is the responsibility of the Holy Lord, and the palace committee really can't interfere. ”
Hearing this, Fahrenheit hurriedly said: "The courtiers heard that this matter is now being investigated by the Third Highness. The courtiers know that the Third Highness listens to Niangniang's words the most, and asks Niangniang to lend a helping hand to your hard-working nephew. ”
Hearing that Zhou Xin was in charge of this matter, Shen Guifei's heart sank.
Gaozong is trying to force Zhou Xin to kill his relatives with righteousness?
Thinking of this, Shen's heart was cold. Starting with Shen Zifu, the next step will be Shen Qingfeng's family, followed by his own brothers, and then the entire Shen family, including himself!
Thinking about this layer, Shen Guifei was a little creepy. She must not watch such a thing happen!
"Don't worry, this palace will definitely do its best to keep Zifu," Shen Guifei said.
Hearing this, Fahrenheit was relieved. Gaozong's harem, except for Queen Fu Yingge, is the highest rank of Shen Guifei. Hua believes that Gao Zongis willing to give Shen Guifei this face.
Fahrenheit thinks so, but that's certainly not the case.
Gaozong had wanted to bring down the Shen family a long time ago, but he had no excuse. Shen Zifu had to hit the muzzle of the gun, no wonder Gaozong wanted to exert power on him.
Fahrenheit said a lot more words of gratitude to Dade before leaving. As soon as Mrs. Hua left, Shen Guifei immediately ordered someone to summon Zhou Xin.
Without waiting for Zhou Xin to salute, Shen Guifei asked, "Are you in charge of investigating Shen Zifu's affairs?" ”
Zhou Xin responded.
Hearing this, Shen Guifei said directly: "This palace orders you to stop here." ”
Zhou Xin did not refute Shen's words, but said respectfully: "The father has ordered his sons to investigate this matter with full powers, and the sons and daughters cannot live up to the emperor's orders." ”
Hearing Zhou Xin say this, Shen Guifei was angry: "You have stiff wings, and you are going to turn against the Shen family?" ”
Zhou Xin knelt at Shen Guifei's feet and said, "Erchen doesn't dare. ”
"Don't dare?" , Shen Guifei smiled, "You really think that your mother is a fool, you can obviously stop Xue Jinxiu's little slut in this matter, but you just went with her to show your father and Jun." ”
"The county lord of Jinxiu is also a county lord, and it is better to pay attention to the wording of the concubine," Zhou Xin said.
"Very good, this is the good son raised by this palace. For the sake of a woman, he did not hesitate to destroy the Shen family! Shen Guifei yelled at Zhou Xin.
"Erchen didn't dare", Zhou Xin saluted Shen Guifei.
"Don't forget that you also have Shen's blood on you!" Shen Guifei yelled at Zhou Xin.
It's that sentence again!
When Zhou Xin heard this, he no longer cared about Shen Guifei being his own mother, stood up and waited for Shen Guifei to say: "When I was a child, it was because of your words that I followed General Wang into the barracks!" You said that I have the blood of the Shen family in my body, and I must be a tough man to assist the eldest brother, and you will send me to the military camp regardless of it, so that I can be your guarantee in the harem and the helper of the eldest brother to win the heir! ”
Zhou Xin said, pulling his sleeves up, revealing a hideous scar on his arm, "See, this was cut by the enemy when I was twelve years old when I went to the battlefield with General Wang." If General Wang hadn't rescued me in time, I might not have been able to stand here. What about you? In addition to the eldest brother's position as the crown prince and your queen mother, have you thought about me? ”
Zhou Xin said, untied half of his clothes, and said, "See? Here, when he was fifteen years old, he was wounded by a panther in the woods when he encountered the enemy with General Wang. Do you know what was going on in my head at that time? ”
Zhou Xin glanced at Shen Guifei, who was covering her mouth and crying, and laughed contemptuously, "At that time, my body heat did not go away. When I was confused, I shouted that it was all mother! ”
At this moment, Shen Guifei couldn't cry anymore. She knew that she owed her son a lot over the years.
"Don't say it, concubine, please don't say it", Shen Guifei said crying and squatting on the ground.
Zhou Xin sneered, "Is the Shen family's blood?" I'll give it back to you! ”
As he spoke, he took out a dagger from his arms and stabbed it into his lower abdomen.
Everyone present was shocked by Zhou Xin's move, and Shen Guifei was also overwhelmed with fright.
Looking at Zhou Xin's red-dyed clothes, Shen Guifei reacted after a long time, and shouted at the maidservant: "Go find the imperial doctor!" Doctor! ”
Zhou Xin looked at the blood lying on the ground, and pulled the corners of his mouth at Shen Guifei, "Mother, I don't owe the Shen family." The son did not give the surname Shen a shame on the battlefield. ”
Shen Guifei was so frightened by Zhou Xin that she was at a loss, and she was even more remorseful when she heard his words. In a hurry, Shen Guifei held Zhou Xin's head with one hand, and hurriedly blocked Zhou Xin's wound with the other.
The blood was still pouring outward, and Shen Guifei's hands were already red with blood. Shen Shi no longer cared about the blood and stickiness on his hands, and let Zhou Xin hold it up.
Zhou Xin has practiced martial arts and knows where the key points are and the severity of the attack.
Fang Cai's stab, Zhou Xin is death-bound mentality, and the attack is really not light.
After a few moments, Zhou Xin's consciousness had begun to weaken.
Fortunately, the imperial doctor arrived in time before Zhou Xinche completely fainted.
Seeing the blood in this place, the imperial doctor didn't care about saluting Shen Guifei, and hurriedly put his hand on Zhou Xin's artery, and said thankfully: "There is still salvation, there is salvation." ”
When the imperial doctor said this, Shen Guifei breathed a sigh of relief.
"A few people hurriedly carry the Third Highness to the bed," the Imperial Physician commanded.
As soon as the words came out, someone immediately came to Zhou Xin, ready to carry Zhou Xin to the bedroom first.
Seeing the clumsy appearance of the minions, the imperial doctor instructed again: "Lift it horizontally, lightly!" ”
Seeing that Zhou Xin was carried into the bedroom, the imperial doctor was about to follow up, but was stopped by Shen Guifei, "How sure are you that you are telling the truth with this palace?" ”
The imperial doctor sighed and lightly spit out two words: "Sancheng." ”
After Shen Guifei heard this, the whole person fell backwards, but fortunately, she was supported by a maidservant to prevent her from falling.
"The concubine Niangniang should let the old minister go in and save the Third Highness first, time waits for no one", the imperial doctor said.
Hearing this, Shen Guifei hurriedly let the imperial doctor in as if she had just woken up from a big dream.
The first thing the Imperial Doctor did after entering was to test Zhou Xin's snort. Although it is weak, it is not enough to die in a while.
"The old minister wants to take out the dagger for His Royal Highness, and ask the concubine to move," said the imperial doctor.
After listening to the words of the imperial doctor, Shen Guifei glanced at Zhou Xin from a distance, and was helped out of the door of the dormitory by the maidservant.
After a while, Gaozong and his party came to Shen Guifei's courtyard.
Now Shen Guifei couldn't care too much about etiquette, and cried and threw herself into Gaozong's arms, "Holy Lord, save my Xin'er!" ”
Before Gaozong came, he only knew that the Third Highness had stabbed himself, but he didn't know why Zhou Xin would do such a tragic thing.
"Don't cry, Xin'er Fu will be fine", Gaozong pushed Shen Guifei away, and waited for the news on the throne. Fu Yingge comforted Shen on the side.
After a while, the imperial doctor came out to report and said: "Please sit down and prepare mentally, Your Royal Highness, the third highness, is hard-boned, but the consciousness of survival is too poor, and the old minister has done his best." ”
Hearing this, Gaozong's body stiffened, and Shen Guifei also cried out with tears in her eyes.
Gaozong didn't believe that Zhou Xin, such a lively person, would go to a dead end.
Did you push him too hard?
Gaozong admitted that it was too cruel for him to put Zhou Xin in charge of investigating Shen Zifu. On one side is his biological father, and on the other side is his mother's mother. For Zhou Xin, the palms and backs of his hands are all meat, and he can't give up any of them.
"Go and tell the Lord of Splendid Glory about this," said Hu Yihui under Gaozong's order.
Hu Yihui took the order and went to find Xue Jinxiu. The room was unusually quiet again, and Gaozong was silent for a moment before saying, "If you do your best to heal the wounds of the Third Highness, I will not be angry with you." ”
When the Imperial Physician was killed, he bowed his head and thanked him as if he had received a great favor.
"You guys wait here, I'll go in and take a look," Gaozong patted Fu Yingge's shoulder and said softly.
Fu Yingge nodded, and watched Gaozong enter the dormitory.
There was a room of servants kneeling in the dormitory, and there was a doctor.
"How is the situation of the Third Highness?" Gaozong asked.
The miscellaneous servants and maids had no right to reply to this conclusion, but there was still a physician kneeling on the ground.
"Back to the Holy One, the ministers have done their best. Now we can only look at creation", the imperial doctor sighed.
Gaozong walked to Zhou Xin's window, patted Zhou Xin's back and said softly, "Little cub, don't get through." ”
A quarter of an hour later, Xue Jinxiu felt the scene in a hurry. Looking at Zhou Xin lying on the bed again, his face was pale, Xue Jinxiu had mixed feelings in his heart. I was still a lively person when I met a few hours ago, why did I collapse on the bed at this moment.
Despite this, Xue Jinxiu still comforted herself vigorously and said, "It's going to be okay, it's going to be okay." I owe him an answer. ”
Looking at Xue Jinxiu's appearance, Gaozong didn't know what to say, so he could only say: "The imperial doctor said that Xin'er's sense of survival is weak, and I called you here in the hope that you can wake him up." ”
As he spoke, Gaozong glanced at the people in this room, and the group exited the room together.
Xue Jinxiu looked at Zhou Xin on the bed, tears fell down one by one, and she couldn't help muttering, "Why haven't I thought about you as a big man?" Do you say it's child's play to like me? ”
Zhou Xin only felt that someone was talking in his ears, but he couldn't hear who was talking clearly, and he couldn't hear what was said.
Xue Jinxiu took out a sachet from his arms, pulled out a jade pendant from it and tied it to Zhou Xin's body.
"This is what my mother asked me for, and I have worn it for sixteen years", after speaking, he smoothed Zhou Xin's tightly frowning brows with his fingertips.
A quarter of an hour later, the Imperial Physician pushed the door in with a bowl of decoction.
"County Lord, it's time for Your Highness to take medicine," said the Imperial Doctor.
Xue Jinxiu sniffed and wiped away her tears before taking the soup bowl from the imperial doctor's hand, "Give it to me, I'll come." ”
Xue Jinxiu has never taken care of anyone, and her first actions in her life are always a little clumsy.
Xue Jinxiu blew the medicine in the spoon and put it on Zhou Xin's mouth and poured it into Zhou Xin's mouth.
The medicine flowed out of the corners of his mouth, Xue Jinxiu wiped the corners of his mouth helplessly, and said in a hurry: "I can't pour it in, what should I do?" ”
The imperial doctor pointed out a useful method for Xue Jinxiu - Xue Jinxiu took the decoction in our mouth and then fed it to Zhou Xin.
Being said by the imperial doctor, Xue Jinxiu was a little embarrassed. Although the girls in Qingzhou are open, it is very rare to talk to people!
"County Lord, don't hesitate any longer. Since the Holy Lord said that the county lord is an important person in His Highness's heart, the county lord will definitely be able to awaken His Highness," said the Imperial Doctor.
Listening to the imperial doctor's persuasion, Xue Jinxiu simply didn't do anything.
"You go out," Xue Jinxiu said.
The imperial doctor listened to Xue Jinxiu's words, saluted her and exited the room, and did not forget to bring the door to the two of them when he left.
Xue Jinxiu took a big sip of medicine, and a strong bitter taste filled his mouth.
Xue Jinxiu attached the lip flap to Zhou Xin's lips. Zhou Xin's lips were a little cold, and the moment he kissed, Xue Jinxiu even felt that this person had lost his breath.
Xue Jinxiu put the medicine into Zhou Xin's mouth and pressed his tongue against Zhou Xin to force him to swallow these bitter decoctions. Three times in a row, these medicines finally entered Zhou Xin's throat.
Xue Jinxiu's tongue was numb by the bitter medicine soup, but at this moment, he couldn't estimate it so much. Xue Jinxiu put his finger on Zhou Xin's nose and tried his snort, and the slightest hint of breath made Xue Jinxiu fall into extreme uneasiness.
Didn't this man say he liked himself?
Why don't you carry the sedan chair to the Changqing Hou Mansion to marry yourself, but you have to lie on this bed and sleep?
Many people say that Xue Jinxiu is a person who is a person who harms people's lives, but she didn't believe it. But looking at Zhou Xin lying on the bed, Xue Jinxiu was suddenly a little scared.
"You wake up, I'll take you back to Qingzhou. We got married there, and we will live there in the future, and you must also abide by the rules of Qingzhou, and you can only marry one wife in your life", Xue Jinxiu smiled as she spoke, laughing and crying again.
"You dare to die, why don't you dare to live?" Xue Jinxiu stroked Zhou Xin's hair and said softly.
Yes, they all dare to die, why don't they dare to live?
When he was a child, Xue Jinxiu once wanted to jump down from a high pavilion, but due to various reasons, Xue Jinxiu only had the courage to climb up the pavilion to see the scenery, but did not have the courage to jump.
Many people say that it is harder to live than to die. But in Xue Jinxiu's opinion, he is not afraid of death, why don't he dare to live well?
