Approaching the Spring Festival, the people on the streets are more lively than ever, as the old saying goes, there is no money to go home for the New Year.

Luo Sicheng didn't have such a thought, and finally rushed back to Luoyang, and as soon as he got home, he jumped the Luo family's chickens and dogs.

"My son, where have you been?" Min trotted out all the way to greet him, and finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the living, but he saw that his son was different from before, half lying on the bed, looking at him anxiously, waiting for his explanation.

On the way back, Luo Sicheng made an excuse, looked at his anxious mother, and said with a smile: "My son made my mother worried, and I originally planned to visit a famous teacher in the spring and ask him for advice, but I didn't expect to be slightly injured when I came back, and I came back late." ”

When Min heard that his son was injured, his eyes were full of tears, and he stepped forward in a panic and touched his leg, "But it was injured on the leg?" What did Lang Zhong say? ”

Luo Si said sincerely: "It's chaotic outside now, it's a blessing to come back alive......"

Before he finished speaking, Min's eyes were hazy with tears, and he had already instructed the mother-in-law beside him: hurry up and inform the Lin family, just say that the young master is back, but his leg is injured, let Lin Mei find a way to ask the imperial doctor Gao.

"Mother, don't bother the Lin family, didn't Imperial Doctor Gao give a post before, let's take the post and ask for ......"

"You are not here these days, don't you know, there has been chaos in the city for more than a month, and I heard that many officials and nobles came to ask for it, but they were all rejected by the housekeeper of the Gao Mansion. The seven-rank official in front of the prime minister's door, our family has just come to the ramp, and the housekeeper of the high mansion still doesn't look at people with his nostrils! The more Min spoke, the more sad he became, and although he tried his best to be a ninja, tears still flowed from his eyes.

What Luo Sicheng was most afraid of was that his mother was sad and cried, and he wanted to say that the eldest husband didn't ask about his background, but he finally held back.

Min suddenly thought that the Lin family was being criticized now, wiped a handful of tears, glared at him, and complained: "You too, your parents are here, don't travel far, you must have a way." You're good, grandma's age has just eased up, but you are ruthless and only leave a sentence to leave, and you are not afraid that if there is a short, you won't even see the last side. ”

"Look at your little bit of interest, the marriage is not her fault, can you still blame her? In the days when you are away, this family relies on Lin Mei's help inside and out, these days the price of food has skyrocketed, and yesterday Lin Mei also sent someone to deliver food and meat. When something happened to the Lin family, I couldn't help at all, and you happened to be absent, but fortunately, God has eyes......"

"Something happened to the Lin family? What's going on? Luo Sicheng's eyes suddenly sharpened.

Only then did the Min family tell him what happened in the Lin family a few days ago, "...... This matter rests on Lin Mei's head, and she has to give it up if she is reluctant, who calls Zhou her stepmother, if she changes others, she is afraid that she will retreat and divorce her wife to avoid trouble. ”

Luo Sicheng's heart also trembled, and he was silent for a moment, and asked: "I'm afraid that things are not so simple, since ancient times, merchants have made heavy profits, and it is against the law to raise the price of grain, but at most it is only confiscated and fined some silver, how can it be so serious?!" ”

Min frowned in confusion when he heard this, and sighed softly: "I thought that Taiyuan was chaotic and insatiable as an official, because the emperor was far away, but I didn't expect that this Luoyang is not far from Beijing, and it is like this." Later, I heard that it was a big official from Beijing who falsely accused the Lin family of being related to the loss of grain, and asked the Lin family to ransom people with 200,000 taels of silver......

……

Inside the Cining Palace.

“…… If it weren't for Ling Concubine's great life yesterday, it would really be one corpse and two lives. The Queen Mother, the two younger sisters are pregnant with royal blood in their wombs, and they can't afford to miss the slightest, so they beg the Queen Mother to have mercy and save them. Concubine Shu took the concubine, Xin Jieyu and the two pregnant women knelt on the main hall and were asking the Queen Mother for help.

The Queen Mother was puzzled when she heard this: "Where did the snake come from in this winter?" I'm afraid it's not that it's too dark at night, and Concubine Ling is wrong. ”

"Back to the Queen Mother, that snake is not only seen by the concubines, if the mother doesn't believe it, she can send someone to Lingyu Tower to ask. The concubine was frightened and confused yesterday, and she didn't think about it outside, but she came back to her senses this morning to save the queen mother and be the master of the concubine. ”

Concubine Ling cried with pear blossoms and rain, but it happened that the Queen Mother didn't look down on her foxy set at all. I saw the queen mother sigh indescribably: "The mourning family is also old, and it is only ......right to leave the affairs of the harem to the queen mother to deal with it."

"The Queen Mother must not, Xin Jieyu also found that someone had drugged the porridge this morning. Doesn't the Queen Mother feel that the Queen Mother is strange about this matter, before the emperor suddenly fell ill and fell unconscious, and the two sisters were fine. Why did the emperor just wake up yesterday, and when he heard that an edict had been made, a snake appeared in the palace of the concubine, and someone had saffron in Xin Jieyu's porridge, which was obviously someone who wanted to murder the royal heir. Queen Mother, you old man can't just watch it! Concubine Shu said tentatively, and after speaking, she glanced at Xin Jieyu on the right.

Although Xin Jieyu is from a low background, she has read a few books, and she usually looks like a lady. At this time, he knelt on the ground and said with tears: "The concubine is from a humble background, and it is a great blessing to be able to serve the emperor. But I didn't think that someone was going to murder the concubine, a few days ago, the concubine found that someone had moved in the sandalwood, and the concubine thought that more things were better than less, so she didn't make a noise, which Cheng wanted to find quinine in the porridge today. The Queen Mother is merciful, the concubine's life is not a pity, it is not worth the Queen Mother's blessing, but the child in the concubine's belly is the blood of the Liu family, please ask the Queen Mother to save this unborn child! ”

At this moment, the Queen Mother's expression was complicated and indescribable, and she hesitated: "But who have you offended on weekdays?!" “

I heard that the emperor had just woken up, and the queen mother summoned several ministers to force the emperor to make an edict, and as soon as the news reached Kunning Palace, it made a fuss, and two corpses were raised, which shows that the position of the prince did not fall on the head of the prince. Concubine Shu can be regarded as letting go, she will not avenge the murder of her son, and she will be a mother in vain, even if she dies, she will have to pull the back of the surname Yang. Whether it is in the belly of the concubine or Xin Jieyu's belly, you have to keep one, and it will be a big deal to go to the mother and keep the child in the future, so that you dare to have the courage to calculate to the head of Cining Palace.

Concubine Shu looked at the Queen Mother's disbelief, a trace of cunning flashed in her eyes, and she began to prostrate on the ground and began to suffer: "Is it possible that the Queen Mother doesn't believe it?!" What about Vancou? My poor Brother Wen was killed at a young age, and the concubines were frightened and couldn't even save the unborn child, these are two lives, the Queen Mother ......"

Concubine Shu's words about losing her son were not intended to add fuel to the fire, and the Queen Mother wanted to ignore it, but after she reminded her like this, she thought that if she really let the queen succeed this time, the mother and son of the lord of Jiaoyue County would inevitably become a thorn in the queen's side, so it was better to abandon the guard.

The Queen Mother snapped, dropped the Buddha beads in her hand, and said angrily: "How can this be true, the mourning family is not dead, she is going against the sky?!" ”

Gonggong Hai hurriedly kowtowed and persuaded: "The Queen Mother is angry!" This matter still needs to be carefully investigated before it can be conclusive. ”
