158, the death of Concubine Min Shu (1st update)
Meng Jin said to Mrs. Lou and his wife: "Okay, the people have also come out, you can go home." ”
Mrs. Lou pulled Imperial Doctor Lou and was about to thank and say goodbye.
Imperial Doctor Lou said: "Although I got away with it today, this matter is not trivial, the Son of Heaven is angry, bleeding and drifting." I fear that if any of my calls come to the door of the Monshes, I ask for help. ”
Mrs. Lou was naturally frightened, but Meng Jin understood why he said this, so he nodded in agreement.
"If I can save it, I will do it with all my might."
Doctor Lou then took the panicked Mrs. Lou and left.
Then Meng Jin took Meng Qingyun to the study.
Meng Qingyun was approached to the palace last night, and Lu Yun and the others also didn't sleep all night, knowing that their father and daughter had not eaten water and rice, they quickly asked the kitchen to make easy-to-digest noodle soup and side dishes, and first pad the hunger.
After the meal was delivered to the study, Meng Jin said: "Eat first, it's a big thing, let's talk about it when you're full." ”
Meng Qingyun was also hungry.
The father and daughter really buried their heads in the noodle soup first.
Lu Yun and the others looked at it, and they also sighed that their two masters were big-hearted. At the same time, he also instructed the kitchen not to forget to bring food to Mrs. Lou and his wife.
After snoring and finishing the breakfast that was earlier than usual, and retiring all the servants, Meng Jin and Meng Qingyun talked seriously.
"Today's events are originally palace secrets, and you shouldn't get involved. But since he has been summoned by the official family for questioning, it is obvious that he can no longer stay out of the matter. ”
"Therefore I tell you the truth of the matter, and these words can come out of my mouth and into your ears, and you must not let a third person know about them."
Meng Jin's face was solemn and solemn that he had never seen before, and Meng Qingyun also put away the last trace of relaxation.
"Daddy, don't worry, I'll keep my mouth shut."
She made a zipper gesture on her mouth, but unfortunately Meng Jin couldn't understand it.
He sighed and said, "Concubine Min Shu is dead. ”
This first sentence startled Meng Qingyun.
"What?!"
She couldn't believe it: "Isn't Concubine Min just pregnant?" How can it be so good...... Did the father see it with his own eyes? ”
Meng Jin nodded.
"Concubine Min's death is by no means an accident."
Meng Qingyun said tentatively: "Was it murdered?" ”
Meng Jin glanced at her: "A good person, there is neither illness nor natural disasters, then naturally there are only man-made disasters." ”
Meng Qingyun thought for a while and said: "Last night, there was chaos in the palace because of the sudden death of Concubine Min Shu, but martial law in the palace began a few days ago, and the official family suddenly announced that I entered the palace for questioning, which is also related to Concubine Min Shu. So this incident should have been foreshadowed a long time ago, right? ”
Meng Jin said: "Even if there is an omen, it is beyond our expectations. ”
Meng Qingyun said: "What the hell is going on? ”
Meng Jin pursed his lips, thought about it again and again, and then lowered his voice and said, "The fetus in Concubine Min Shu's womb is not the son of the official family. ”
Meng Qingyun's eyes widened suddenly.
Although she had been in the west side hall of Funing Palace before, when she was thinking wildly, she had also guessed in this direction, but after being confirmed by Mengjin, she was still very shocked.
Meng Jin said: "Imperial Doctor Lou came to the house to talk to me secretly that day, and that's what he said. ”
"He was originally just an ordinary imperial doctor in the Taiyi Bureau, and he only became an official emperor three years ago. When the official family was young, he was good at martial arts, and he was always a pioneer, and he was also seriously injured, and his body was very weak, so he had no children for many years. Later, because of the eagerness to seek a son, the official family pinned their hopes on the Danfang Warlock and took the pill all year round. ”
"In recent years, the official family has insomnia and dreams, red face and sweating, sometimes tremors in the limbs, gums are often swollen and bleeding, and the favor of the harem concubines is also decreasing. Originally, everyone only thought it was because of the aging of the official family. ”
"After Imperial Doctor Lou took over the case of the official doctor, he judged that the official family was suffering from chronic mercury poisoning, the essence of which was due to the perennial use of pills. The official family has no children for many years, and it is precisely because of the poison of mercury. ”
Meng Qingyun said: "Since Imperial Doctor Lou can diagnose the illness of the official family, other imperial doctors should also be able to diagnose it, is there no one to inform the official family?" ”
Meng Jin sighed and said: "This is the evil fruit of the official cadres' arbitrariness and self-righteousness. In fact, it was difficult for the official family to have children when they were young, and the Taiyi Bureau's repeated recuperation had no effect. The official family was angry and reprimanded the Taiyi Bureau for its incompetence, and the Tai Doctors had no choice but to turn to the Warlock Danfang. ”
"After the official family started to take the pill, the initial amount of poison was mild, and it was difficult to diagnose, but it could enhance the taste of internal medicine, so it was naturally a good medicine."
Later, the toxicity became more and more serious, and after the imperial doctors found out, they were afraid of being questioned by the officials, so they only dared to regulate secretly, but they did not dare to tell the official family the truth. So in the end, this became an unspeakable secret in the Taiyi Bureau. ”
In other words, this is actually a muddled account. Before the official family took the pill, they couldn't give birth to children; After eating, he suffered from chronic mercury poisoning and could not give birth to children.
But the former is at least somewhat uncertain, but the latter can conclusively prove that it is impossible for the official family to plant the concubines.
"So on the Wanshou Festival, after the news of Concubine Min Shu's joy was confirmed, Imperial Doctor Lou was very sure that it was definitely not a child of the official family."
"But if you want to expose this matter, you must first confess the matter of mercury poisoning in the official family, which is a capital crime."
"If you pretend to be deaf and dumb and allow outsiders to tarnish the royal bloodline, it will be a capital crime if it happens in the future."
"Imperial Doctor Lou is in a dilemma and can't make a choice."
Meng Qingyun said: "No wonder Mrs. Lou said that Imperial Doctor Lou has been in a trance since the Halloween, and it turns out that he has hidden such a big secret." ”
Meng Jin said: "It's a big matter, that's why he buys drunk at the night market." Probably because of the drunkenness, he finally came to me that night and told me the big secret. ”
Doctor Lou is just a doctor, among the neighbors, the most familiar friend is Mengjin, and Mengjin is also a favorite of the official family, and he can get close to the official's body, so he is indeed the best target for help.
"In any case, the royal blood cannot be defiled, and Concubine Min Shu's defilement of the palace is also a great crime of bullying the king. I can't tolerate such heinous deeds. So that night, he drank to Imperial Doctor Lou, which made him wake up, and the next morning, we entered the palace together and told the official family about the matter. ”
Meng Qingyun sighed and said, "No wonder after that day, the official family called himself sick and quit the court." ”
One can imagine how much of an impact this kind of thing has had on the official family. Even if he is an ordinary man, he can't manpower it, not to mention that he is still the Son of Heaven, and Concubine Min Shufei's child also determines the ownership of the storage position.
Meng Jin said: "The official family naturally didn't believe it at first, but later summoned a group of doctors from the Imperial Medical Bureau and interrogated them strictly, and the imperial doctors confessed. ”
"The official family was furious and ordered martial law in the palace to thoroughly investigate the matter."
In a few days, all the internal officials and palace maids in the Ning Palace were tortured, and under the heavy punishment, in the end, Concubine Min Shu's personal female official couldn't bear it, and finally confessed.
"It turns out that Concubine Min Shu has been unwilling to succumb to Concubine Yao for many years, and she has delusions, trying to borrow seeds to have children to get a glimpse of the position of the middle palace."
"Last year, it was proposed to set up a memorial tablet for the prince who died in the womb of the year in the Daxiangguo Temple, just to use this as an excuse to leave the palace many times and have a private meeting with foreign men."
"This was done in secret for nearly a year, and finally the pearl fetus was secretly knotted, and then the news was announced and announced to the world on the Halloween Festival."
