Chapter 474: A Wave of Unsettled
The moon is quiet, and in the blink of an eye, it is already half of June.
The chirping of summer insects shines through the window screens, endlessly.
The night breeze is slightly cool, lifting and falling the thin curtains, like sails on the sea, like waves at the head of the tide, and like ups and downs of life.
The second prince's framing gradually subsided, but the aftermath lingered.
According to investigation, the goose head case was made by an internal supervisor surnamed Pang in the imperial palace, together with a eunuch surnamed Zhang next to the second prince.
Because Eunuch Pang had been whipped by the second prince, he held a grudge.
The second prince was a little impatient by nature, and once his favorite hound died, and the eunuch surnamed Pang was responsible for raising it, so the second prince accused him of failing to take care of him and fined him 300 lashes.
Later, the dog was found to have been infected with the plague, not because it was not fed properly, and Eunuch Pang felt that he had been wronged.
After that, there were a few things, and the second prince also punished him, so he hated in his heart.
I have been planning for a long time and designed this method, because the second prince usually likes to collect some terracotta dolls, and often wears some weapons that are inch large.
The eunuch casually took a small golden sword, which was regarded as evidence of the second prince's bad intentions.
The goose head was stolen from the Imperial Dining Room, so the people in the Imperial Dining Room were not involved in the matter and were not convicted.
The eunuch next to the prince has a friendship with him and has not been reused. There was resentment in his heart, and the two hit it off.
I feel that this can not only curse the prince but also frame the second prince, which is very clever. I thought I was doing a secret, but who would have thought that it would be revealed later.
After being caught, after interrogation, the two prisoners confessed to their crimes, and had been beheaded three days earlier.
It can be regarded as a heavy punishment of capital punishment.
Those rumors that the second prince hated the world was also spread by these two people, and both of them admitted it.
Because of this incident, the people in the palace were worried, and the queen mother ordered people to clean up the harem, and anyone who usually did not abide by his duty and spread rumors and caused trouble would be expelled from the palace with a hundred lashes.
"Because of my advanced age and poor health, I haven't asked about things in the palace for a long time. But the queen is so merciful that these minions dare to do such a rebellious thing, if they don't take advantage of this to clear the harem, so that they don't dare to have a disobedient heart, it will be a disaster in the future! The Queen Mother said so, but in three days, nearly 100 palace maids and eunuchs were expelled from the harem, and now everyone is in danger, silent, and dare not say anything.
The wind is born in the bamboo courtyard, and the moon reflects the banana window.
Wei Lanqi lay on the bed and couldn't sleep, and whispered to Wei Yining: "It seems that the two people I met in Xingsiyuan should be those two disobedient eunuchs, but unfortunately, they were too far away at that time, and I didn't see the two of them clearly." If the two of them had been caught in the first place, there would not have been many things that followed. I also blamed me for being too timid, and my legs were numb at that time. Otherwise, if you quietly walk forward, you will not necessarily be discovered by them. ”
"Never regret the past, when you yourself are safe and clear, God has opened your eyes. Speaking of which, thank you to the eldest son of the Guan family, if he hadn't arrived in time, you would have been killed by those two people. Wei Yining didn't sleep either: "Speaking of which, people have saved you twice, right?" ”
"God doesn't know how to arrange it, why do you always let a big ice cube come to save me." Wei Lanqi whispered, "Although it is fortunate to have escaped here, it will be discounted to see his face." It seems that how reluctant to save me is, who is rare! ”
"Okay, fifth sister," Wei Yining quipped: "In my opinion, Guan Zuo is good, although his face is a little cold, but his character should be passable." He is willing to save you, but he will not be careless, so why should you be too harsh? ”
"I am not a person who is ungrateful to him, but I still remember his kindness in my heart. When you say that, I think of a sentence, people say that the more cold the person, the more infatuated he is. Why don't I tease him another day and see if he's really cold or falsely cold. ”
"Fifth sister, I advise you not to play with fire." Wei Yining said: "Beware of burning yourself." ”
"Okay, you, at a young age, you will pretend to be old with me." Wei Lanqi didn't take Wei Yining's words of warning to heart: "It's not too early, go to sleep, tomorrow morning the master will check the endorsement." ”
Wei Yining's star-like eyes shone in the moonlight, in her opinion, the goose head case may not be as it appears on the surface, but it is actually useless to pursue it further.
As for Yu Xin's assassination, it has not been clarified so far, and he cannot find any direct connection between him and the second prince, but he has not figured out what his real motive for assassination is.
Of course, this matter will not stop there, and the criminal department still has to investigate.
So far, it is only the dismissal of Jingzhao Yin Hu Cong and other cadres to wait for the fall, the emperor regards this matter as a great shame, if it can be found out in the end, if not, Hu Cong and others as scapegoats, the end must be very miserable.
The people in the palace are uncertain, and the atmosphere is always weird.
But Wei Yining didn't take these to heart, compared to her, she was more worried that it was halfway through this year but there was no rain.
Because the traditional Chinese medicine in the capital has a moat, I don't think so. But those peasants who make a living from farming must have suffered greatly.
In the eight years of Lao Linghe, Wei Yining's family lived at the bottom.
She knows too well what the New Year means to ordinary people, since ancient times, the wind and rain have been smooth, so that the country and the people can be safe.
This year, there is a general drought in the whole country, and it is inevitable that the people will not be able to make a living.
Although he was in the harem, Wei Yining would also hear some things about disaster relief, and knew that the imperial court had sent people to inspect the disaster relief many times since April, and as for the results, it was impossible to know if he didn't see it with his own eyes.
There was already an even snoring sound on the bed opposite Wei Lanqi, and in addition to Wei Lanqi's, there was also the purring of the cat she held in her arms.
Originally, Wei Lanqi and Wei Yining did not live in the same room, but because there was something in the womb these days, Wei Lanqi came over to live with her.
The moon shadow was already slightly tilted to the western sky, Wei Yining reached out and tightened the bed tent, her soft and cool hair brushed the side of her face, and spread out between the pillows like brocade soaked in the moonlight.
It seems that inadvertently, her eyebrows and eyes are becoming more and more beautiful.
Although it doesn't look like it has changed much at first glance, if you look closely, you will find that many places have become delicate and charming, and she has definitely become a little bit of a big girl.
"Surnamed Guan, you stop me!" Wei Lanqi on the opposite bed said in a dream: "Who allowed you to save me on your own initiative!" ”
Wei Yining smiled silently, Wei Lanqi was as arrogant as a cat, and she had to be smooth all the time.
I don't know if Guan Zuo's cold-faced Langjun can withstand it, if Wei Lanqi grinds people, ten Wei Yining is not an opponent, not anything else, just her pretty appearance that I see pitiful, how many people have to bow down.
