Chapter 135: Just the Beginning
Nie Bei didn't seem to be surprised at all when he heard this, he only looked at Chen Wen's playful eyes, originally put Chen Wenqi in the Yanxia Palace, but also to scare and scare Tuoba Mingyan, of course, the main purpose is not just to scare Tuoba Mingyan, but through such scare, the death of the Queen Mother is involved.
Three years ago, the Queen Mother died violently, and everyone thought it was an accident, but it was not an accident, and in order to let everyone know that it was not an accident, it was necessary to Tuoba Mingyan to mess up.
Scare her once, and she doesn't move, then scare her twice, or three, four, four, or more.
Even if she has grown up in the past three years, her heart has become tough, and she can calm her breath, withstand such a fright, and be unmoved, but the Yanxia Palace is haunted every night, she can hide it for a while, but she can't hide it for a long time, and this matter will eventually be exposed.
And when this matter is exposed, it is impossible for people with a heart not to think about it.
As for how to think about it, Nie Qingwan doesn't care, all she wants is to let people think more.
With this thought, the case of the death of the Queen Mother will not be abrupt in the future, and it will be easy for them to accept.
Of course, in Nie Qingwan's guess, Tuoba Mingyan is not so capable of resisting things, she will not move if she is scared for a day, she will go crazy in three days, and only she knows what truth she will say when the time comes.
And no matter what she said, as long as this matter aroused the vigilance of the courtiers of the Great Yin Empire and even the people in Huaicheng, the imperial capital, then the rest of the matter would be much easier.
What Nie Qingwan wants is just the beginning.
As for the case, of course, it still has to be investigated.
Nie Bei listened to Chen Wen's words, his face did not change, he didn't even frown, Bo Lu also knew all the plans, he was the same as his master, his face was expressionless.
But Li Donglou and Huatu were shocked, as well as the forbidden soldiers who followed Li Donglou.
Li Donglou couldn't help but gasp after hearing the words 'haunted' and 'queen mother', he swallowed his saliva, glanced at the palace maids and eunuchs around the Yanxia Hall with different expressions, and asked Chen Wenqi in a low voice: "Really?" ”
Chen Wen said: "Can I lie to you about this kind of thing?" ”
Chen Wenqi embarrassed Tuoba Mingyan in public at the gate of Yanxia Hall yesterday morning, originally Tuoba Mingyan planned to wait for Chen Wenqi to come to Yanxia Hall again on an errand and let Hongluan beat him according to the law of Dayin, but who knew that Chen Wenqi did not come that afternoon, but came the next day, but at night her Yanxia Hall was haunted, where did Tuoba Mingyan still have the energy to care about Chen Wenqi?
didn't care about Chen Wen's beheading, Chen Wen's beheading was spared a flesh disaster.
The person who pretended to be a ghost last night was Ren Ji, and he had nothing to do with Chen Wen, but Chen Wenqi hid in the dark and watched, Chen Wenqi knew very well what was going on last night, and he also knew how hard Tuoba Mingyan was scared last night.
Although Ren Ji just came out and shook around and left, but this time, he shook to Tuoba Mingyan, and to all the palace maids and eunuchs who were on duty in the Yanxia Palace, and after waking all these people from their sleep, he patted his ass and left, and then left the hall full of people, from the master to the servants, all of them were frightened all night, with their eyes open, not daring to close their eyelids again, waiting for dawn.
After Chen Wen finished saying that, Li Donglou looked stunned, and his back tightened for a while, Li Donglou thought that the emperor had just left the palace the day before, and the ghost of the queen mother came out of the Zijin Palace the night after, would there be any relationship between the two?
Hua Tu didn't think about it so much, but when he heard Chen Wen say that the Queen Mother of the Great Yin Empire had died last night, he also felt a look of horror crawling in his heart.
People like Huatu are not afraid of ghosts.
But if that ghost is the queen mother of the Great Yin Empire, this will really surprise people.
The forbidden soldiers were not only shocked, but also excited.
Originally, during the period of the Empress Dowager Yin, the forbidden army of the Great Yin Empire was as high as more than 1.2 million, the forbidden army in the palace was 300,000, and the forbidden army outside the palace was 900,000.
Among the 300,000 people left, there are many veterans, all of whom have witnessed the demeanor of the Queen Mother.
Now that they heard that the Queen Mother was back, even if it was just a wisp of soul, even if it was just a ghost, they were very excited, and they were even more happy than the fright of others.
The group had different expressions, and they all looked at Chen Wenqi.
Chen Wenqi didn't look at anyone, but looked at Nie Bei alone.
Nie Bei pursed his lips and said, "Then was Concubine Ming scared last night?" ”
Chen Wen pretended to say: "I don't know, I didn't do my job last night, I came this morning and found that everyone was wrong, so I inquired, and then I found out, originally Ming Guifei instructed the people, no one is allowed to mention this matter, or I asked after threatening and intimidating." ”
After speaking, he added: "Since Concubine Ming has stated that she is not allowed to say it, you should not know, lest she punish people again." ”
Nie Bei said funny: "Is it to punish the people, or to punish you?" ”
Chen Wen choked, feeling that Nie Bei was burying him in broad daylight, indeed, Tuoba Mingyan had always wanted to find him trouble, she disobeyed her yesterday, she would definitely not give up, she didn't trouble him today because she was frightened, and when she came back to her senses, she must settle the new account and the old account together.
Chen Wen rolled his eyes, hugged his arms, and snorted coldly: "I don't know what to do, I revealed the gossip to you, you don't thank me, and you want to make a stumbling block for me, don't talk to you, busy with your case." ”
Chen Wen twisted his body and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Nie Bei shrugged his shoulders and walked forward noncommittally.
Li Donglou followed behind Nie Bei, feeling that Nie Bei's reaction was too strange, hearing that the Yanxia Hall was haunted, and hearing that the Queen Mother was back, shouldn't he give a little reaction? Even if you are not surprised, there will be a hint of joy, right? After all, the Queen Mother is his sister! But he didn't react at all, and the silence was suspicious.
Li Donglou stared at Nie Bei suspiciously, and seeing that Nie Bei didn't mean to pay attention to him at all, he had to withdraw his gaze stupidly.
Nie Bei went to find Tuoba Mingyan, but did not enter the house, and asked Li Donglou to send the forbidden army in to report.
Tuoba Mingyan was still curled up on the bed, and on the left and right sides of the bed stood Hong Luan and Su He.
The two girls also screamed and their scalps were numb after being woken up by the 'Queen Mother' last night, but the 'Queen Mother' just stared at them gloomily a few times, and then floated away like ghosts.
The two of them climbed out of bed in fright, and went to find Tuoba Mingyan.
It just so happened that Tuoba Mingyan was also frightened, and the three girls nested on the same bed, holding each other's hands, giving each other courage, and giving each other the support of spiritual strength.
Fortunately, the 'Queen Mother' just shook around and left, and didn't stay all the time, but she didn't dare to sleep, so she just kept her eyes open and stayed up all night.
After dawn, Hong Luan and Su He were not afraid, but the panic and fear in Tuoba Mingyan's heart could not be dissipated, and she knew what she had done.
She slept soundly in the middle of the night last night, but suddenly for a moment, she felt that someone was looking at her, with a very terrifying look.
Almost instinctively, out of the protective reaction of her body in the face of danger, she opened her eyes, and then she saw the dark room, at the head of her bed, was standing the dead Queen Mother, she was wearing long hair, her face was quiet, but the bottom of her dark eyes were bloodshot, just looking at her quietly.
At that moment, Tuoba Mingyan screamed in fright, her face turned white all of a sudden, her whole body trembled, her eyes bulged in horror, and the moment she met the Queen Mother's eyes, she almost stopped her heartbeat, and even lost her body temperature.
She wanted to open her mouth to speak at that time, and wanted to say to her: "Don't blame me, I was also instigated by the emperor for that incident, I'm just an accomplice, don't look for me!" ”
But when the mouth was open, she couldn't make a cavity, her throat seemed to be blocked by something, and she tried to open it, but she only heard a strange click, and then she saw the 'Queen Mother' grinning, the smile was very beautiful, but inexplicably Tuoba Mingyan couldn't breathe well, and her scalp was numb, and when she floated towards herself, she screamed directly and fainted.
When I woke up, the 'Queen Mother' was gone.
After a while, Hong Luan and Su He came.
After staying up until dawn, Hong Luan and Su He were normal, but she couldn't be normal, she was scared!
The first thing Tuoba Mingyan did after staying up until dawn was to urgently call Hong Luan and ask her to call Yin Xuan, but Hong Luan said: "The emperor is not in the palace, he has gone to the Daimyo Township." ”
Just such a sentence suddenly ignited the horror in Tuoba Mingyan's heart to the highest.
Tuoba Mingyan muttered like a lost soul: "He's not in the palace anymore, he's not in the palace anymore......"
Tuoba Mingyan hugged her head violently, grabbing her hair like a psychopath, her breathing was short, her eyes were red, she was thinking, the emperor had just left the palace, and the queen mother came out, was she just watching? Caught the emperor and left the palace to scare her like this?
Suddenly thinking that she had looked for Ren Ji last night, Tuoba Mingyan thought again, was it because she found Ren Ji, and then alarmed her, so she came out to give her a warning?
And no matter what the situation is, Tuoba Mingyan can't be indifferent, and there is no way to be calm.
She didn't want to live in the Smoky Hall anymore, she didn't want to!
Tuoba Mingyan spent a morning suppressing the fear in his heart, and in the morning he couldn't swallow the food because of this incident, so he didn't eat, but he ate a little at noon, but thinking that maybe the 'Queen Mother' was looking at her with a pair of gloomy eyes behind her, she threw the bowl away again and ran out.
This time she went out to find that the palace people's expressions were not right, and called Hong Luan to ask, only to know that she was not the only one who suffered the ghost fright of the Queen Mother last night, but all the palace people in the entire Yanxia Palace, she didn't think about it at the time, and ordered Hong Luan to inform the palace people that this matter was not allowed to be told to anyone.
Hong Luan went down and ordered, Tuoba Mingyan didn't dare to enter the house, but he couldn't stand the sleepiness, so he pulled Hong Luan and Su He and went in to make up for sleep.
Hong Luan and Su He didn't sleep last night, so they stayed by Tuoba Mingyan's side and fell asleep.
Tuoba Mingyan couldn't sleep at first, she always felt that the Queen Mother was watching her, but she didn't sleep all night last night, she was really sleepy, and Hong Luan and Su He were lying next to her, which gave her some courage, and after a while, she also fell asleep.
This sleep was heavy, I didn't wake up in the middle, and I was no longer frightened by the Queen Mother, I woke up and wanted to go to Shoude Palace, and told Chen Dedi that she wanted to change the palace for the time being, and she could live anywhere, as long as it wasn't Yanxia Palace.
Now that the emperor is not in the palace, the affairs of this harem are the queen Chen Dedi.
Tuoba Mingyan made up his mind, raised his spirits a little, and was about to leave, but he didn't want to, Nie Bei suddenly came.
Tuoba Mingyan was extremely reluctant to see Nie Bei at this time, but Nie Bei let people come in and spread the word, and she couldn't see it.
Tuoba Mingyan was helpless, but he went out to see him.
Tuoba Mingyan originally thought that Nie Bei was here for the suspenseful case of 'medicinal herb killing', she thought that she had cooperated with Nie Bei to take him to see Wu Ping and Pang Lin's room last time, but this time there would be nothing to do with her, if he asked her again for this and that, she would directly refute him.
But when Nie Bei saw her, it was not for the case of 'medicinal herbs killing', but a new case.
When Nie Bei saw her, he didn't even say a word of greeting or greeting, he directly took out a purse from his sleeve pocket, held it in front of her, and said bluntly: "Does Concubine Ming know this purse?" ”
Tuoba Mingyan looked at the purse, and immediately recognized that it was the purse she gave to the emperor, and the emperor said that he had lost one.
Hong Luan and Su He followed Tuoba Mingyan, and also saw the purse in Nie Bei's hand.
The two of them were stunned, and looked at Tuoba Mingyan blankly.
Tuoba Mingyan was also shocked at first, but soon calmed down, and originally suspected that the emperor's purse was not really lost, but that the emperor found that there was a problem with the incense in the purse, so he hid it.
Now that the speculation has been confirmed, it is really not lost.
This purse was given to Yin Xuan by Tuoba Mingyan himself, if it was given to others, Tuoba Mingyan could still pretend that he didn't know, but the other party was Yin Xuan, Tuoba Mingyan could only tell the truth, she said: "I know, I gave this purse to the emperor." ”
Nie Bei nodded, there was no discoloration on his face, and he only said straightforwardly: "The emperor also said so, the emperor said that this purse was given to him by Concubine Ming." ”
Nie Bei put the purse away again, and said to Tuoba Mingyan: "Since Concubine Ming has admitted it, then come with me to the Criminal Department, there are some things that I need to confirm with a few people in person." ”
He said that he was full of officialdom, and he was now acting as the government, Tuoba Mingyan could hardly even refute it, so he was invited to the official office of the Criminal Department by Li Donglou and other forbidden troops.
After arriving at the official office, Nie Bei asked Huatu to accompany Li Donglou to bring Dou Fuze, Xian Bi and Zhu Yinan over, originally Nie Bei also wanted to summon Wang Yuzhou, but Wang Yuzhou is not in the Tai Hospital, Nie Bei will not call him, for the time being, please invite these three people to come over, if there is a need later, he will pass on other Tai doctors in the Tai Hospital.
Huatu didn't know what was going on in today's case, but seeing that Nie Bei was in such a big formation, his face tightened slightly, and he followed Li Donglou to call someone.
Dou Fuze has taken leave since yesterday, taking care of Chen Hai in Chen Mansion, Nie Bei approved Dou Fuze's leave, Dou Fuze temporarily lived in Chen Mansion in order not to run between Dou Mansion and Chen Mansion, Li Donglou knew about this, so Li Donglou sent Zhang Kan to go directly to Chen Mansion to call people.
Xian Bi had already returned to the house, and Li Donglou personally took people to Xian Mansion.
Zhu Yinan asked Huatu to shout, originally Huatu and Yuan Boxi and Huazhou went to Daming Township, and Washington was empty, because Xie Baocheng and Yan Yi also followed, and there was no one in the mansion, so Yuan Boxi dismissed those servants, gave them two days off, and closed Washington.
Yin Xuan took Nie Qingwan to Daming Township, the infirmary in Longyang Palace was disbanded, Xian Bi returned to Tai Hospital, Zhu Yinan returned to Washington, and found that Washington was closing the door, he was stunned for a long time at the locked gate, and finally thought for a long time, then entered the palace again, looked for Wang Yunzhi, and wanted to ask him if he had the key to Washington in his hand.
Originally, Zhu Yinan thought that Concubine Wan went to Daming Township, so Wang Yunyao and Huandong and Huanxi would definitely follow, and Xie Youhan was dedicated to protecting Concubine Wan, so Xie Youhan would definitely follow.
But when he entered the palace again, he found that these people were there, so Zhu Yinan didn't go back, so he stayed with them for the time being.
Huatu had returned to Washington, knowing that Zhu Yinan was not in Washington, thinking that he had nowhere to go, he came to find Wang Yunyao and them, and sure enough, when he saw that Zhu Yinan was also there, he called Zhu Yinan away.
Wang Yunzhi is the head of the forbidden army, and his only job is to teach the forbidden army to practice martial arts, and now the forbidden army is all following Li Donglou to do things together, Wang Yunzhi is also idle, and as soon as Nie Qingwan leaves, Xie Youhan and Wang Yunyao, as well as Huandong and Huanxi, are also idle.
When a few people saw Huatu coming, they were about to get up to salute, but they were stopped by Huatu raising his hand, Huatu didn't have time to deal with them, so he shouted Zhu Yinan and left.
Wang Yunzhi, Xie Youhan, and Wang Yunyao all asked Huatu what happened, why was he in such a hurry to take Zhu Yinan away, and asked him where to take Zhu Yinan?
Huatu didn't have time to explain, and besides, he didn't know how to explain, so he said: "I don't know, it was Nie Beirang who shouted, and also called Xian Bi and Dou Fuze, oh, Concubine Ming is also in the Yamen of the Criminal Department now." ”
said the purse that Nie Bei took out again, and then left.
Wang Yunzhi heard it in a fog, but Xie Youhan, Wang Yunyao and Huandong Huanxi all understood, and several people looked at each other together, and then told Wang Yunzhi the 'mystery'.
Wang Yunzhi squinted his eyes, thinking, no wonder the emperor suddenly wanted to take the county lord to Daimyo Township, it turned out that it was because of this matter, and Li Donglou and the entire forbidden army were all transferred, and it was also because of this incident.
Wang Yunzhi also looked clear.
Xian Bi was in Xian Mansion, and Li Donglou called directly as soon as he went.
Dou Fuze took a lot of effort there, mainly because the Chen family was not very cooperative, and on the grounds that Chen Hai was seriously ill, he was unwilling to let Dou Fuze leave, and Dou Fuze couldn't guess what Nie Bei meant by sending Zhang Kan to call him at this time, and asked Zhang Kan, Zhang Kan didn't say anything, just said that he would know when he went to the palace.
Dou Fuze faintly felt that this matter would not be simple, it might not be as simple as asking him about Chen Hai's condition, Dou Fuze thought carefully about whether he had done anything illegal and undisciplined, and went around in his mind about what he had done recently, and there was only one thing, that is, he prescribed a medicine list for Dou Yanxi.
Dou Fuze didn't know if Nie Bei was calling him for this matter, but whether it was or not, he had to go, unless he wanted to resist the order.
Chen Fu was reluctant to let him go, that was because Chen Fu hated Nie Bei because of Chen Hai's fall, they no longer hid their hostility towards Nie Bei, and now they are openly confrontational, Nie Bei sent someone to shout, and Chen Fu refused to let him go.
But Dou Fuze felt that there were some things that could not be avoided, and this trip to the palace still had to go no matter what.
Dou Fuze persuaded the Chen family led by Dou Yanxi to be embarrassed, and followed Zhang Kan out.
On the way, Dou Fuze secretly inquired to Zhang Kanming about what Nie Bei was calling him for, Zhang Kan's mouth was extremely tight, and he didn't reveal a single superfluous word, Dou Fuze had no choice but to give up.
Walking and walking, Dou Fuze found that this was not the way to the palace, but the way to the yamen of the criminal department, Dou Fuze sighed inexplicably, and when he arrived at the yamen of the criminal department, he saw Tuoba Mingyan, Xian Bi, and Zhu Yinan, and Dou Fuze's heart became more and more up.
When Nie Bei saw him coming, he didn't wait for him to buffer, he directly took out the purse in his sleeve pocket again, handed the purse to Xian Bi, let Xian Bi smell the fragrance, and then gave it to Zhu Yinan, let Zhu Yinan smell the fragrance, and then gave it to Dou Fuze, let Dou Fuze smell the fragrance.
Dou Fuze smelled the fragrance, and his face changed slightly.
Nie Bei saw it, but he didn't see it.
Li Donglou also saw it, but he didn't see it.
After the three of them smelled the fragrance, Nie Bei said loudly: "This purse was worn on the emperor before, what kind of incense is the incense inside, the three of you are all studying medicine, you should be able to recognize it as soon as you smell it, the emperor asked Wang Yuzhou to test the incense in this purse before leaving, according to Wang Yuzhou, this incense is mixed with the medicine drunk by Concubine Wan, which can be fatal." ”
When he said this, he paused, looked at the faces of the three of them again, and said: "The three of you are not to suspect anything, but that Imperial Doctor Dou is the head of the Tai Hospital, and his medical skills are the highest, and Imperial Doctor Xian and Zhu Yinan lived in Longyang Palace before to serve Concubine Wan to recuperate from her injuries, so I invited the three of you to come over, and I just want to ask the three of you to identify whether the incense in this purse will conflict with the medicine for arrow wounds that Concubine Wan drank, and then it will endanger Concubine Wan's life." ”
When Nie Bei said this, Tuoba Mingyan's face turned white, she bit her thin lip lightly, and inhaled fiercely, last night's fright has not passed, and today she was hit on the head again, and she was not able to walk on the single-plank bridge at the moment, trembling in her heart, sweating again and again.
Tuoba Mingyan thought resignedly, why every time he harmed this Wan Guifei, he couldn't kill her!
The last time someone shot her with an arrow, she didn't die.
This time she hurt her with incense, and she didn't die.
And both incidents fell on Nie Bei's head in the end, and as soon as Nie Bei came out, didn't she become a bright fish on the chopping board for others to slaughter?
No, she can't sit still.
Tuoba Mingyan quickly thought about how to push this matter to Chen Dedi, originally she took precautions in advance, and also let Ren Ji put the incense in Shoude Palace, although she was frightened after last night, this morning and noon she didn't have time to ask Ren Ji Naxiang if she had successfully put it into Shoude Palace, but now she has no choice, whether it is successful or not, she has to give up everything and push this matter on Chen Dedi's head.
