Chapter 260: It's definitely a conspiracy
"Where's the injury?" Ning Zhiyuan saw the hand wrapped in a white cloth, and saw that the bloodstained blanket was not easy to lift, so he could only ask anxiously.
"Lord Wang, one knife is in the palm of the hand, one knife is in the waist, and it does not hurt the muscles and bones!" Xu's mother was busy explaining for Du Yiyi.
"Who did it? The forbidden place of the palace actually dared to assassinate Princess Rui, he had a few dares! ”
Ning Zhiyuan is also a person who has seen the dead in war, and he can judge that the wound must be not shallow when he looks at this blood, he just let Du Yiyi suffer such danger and pain without paying attention for a while, if it weren't for Du Yiyi's great life, maybe this time would be his lifelong regret.
"Lord Wang, he is a little eunuch in the clean room, his mind is not constant, and he doesn't know how to hide in the woods behind the Chang'an Palace, he rushed out and injured the princess, and now he has been handed over to Dongchang for disposal!" Mother Xu carefully wiped the blood stains on her arm for Du Yiyi, a basin of water cotton towel will turn bloody after three or four times in the water, Ning Zhiyuan looked at Du Yiyi's painful look, and walked out of the screen angrily to ask about the imperial doctor Du Yiyi's injury.
"Weichen has already used medicine, Princess Rui's injuries are fine!" The imperial doctor replied respectfully: "I have already gone to the Rui Wangfu to invite Mr. Chang, please rest assured."
How can Ning Zhiyuan rest assured that there are people who dare to assassinate people in places like the palace, where is there a safe place? What's more, the real culprit behind the scenes is still at large.
Outside the palace, the royal family members of the queen and the four concubines attending the banquet were there, and the emperor was still on the way to come, because of the bad impact of this matter, the queen had ordered to block the news.
"Where's that crazy eunuch?" Ning Zhiyuan's trembling brows moved closer to the center of his eyebrows, and he roared at the elders outside the dormitory who were bowing their heads and whispering about the gaffe.
The queen Concubine De, who had been concerned about the movement on this side, glanced at each other, and before Concubine De took a step, the queen walked into the palace, and Concubine De, who had always understood righteousness, only glanced at Ning Zhiyuan, who was already so angry that she was about to lose her mind, and calmed the emotions of others.
"Zhiyuan, today's incident, the queen mother has made amends for you!" The matter is near Chang'an Palace, and now the queen and Ning Zhiyuan are on the same page, which leads people to speculate that the queen's apology is also a statement to the people in the palace.
"Queen Mother, where is that crazy eunuch now?"
The crown prince was abolished, Concubine Chang entered the cold palace, King Chao ascended the throne, the queen, the biggest winner in life, can be said to be out of the limelight, this time Du Yiyi is in danger, six or seven times out of ten will have something to do with the queen, and the eunuch who lost his mind and went crazy is now the only clue.
"The case in the palace is under the jurisdiction of Dongchang, and the palace has already sent the eunuch to Dongchang! Book father-in-law! Where is that eunuch now? ”
The queen glanced at the phoenix, and Shu Ruhai, who was standing behind the imperial doctor, bowed respectfully and walked over: "Back to the queen's mother, back to His Royal Highness King Rui, that eunuch and old slave have ordered someone to escort him to Chang'an Palace, and it should not take a while to arrive!" ”
"Zhiyuan, don't worry, Du Yiyi's injury is not a big problem, when your father comes over, it will only be decided, you should be quiet, don't lose your identity and lose your courtesy!"
Queen Liu Yemei raised her eyebrows and turned her head to look behind her, a group of female dependents were still in a stable mood under the comfort of Concubine De, although these people were not as high as Ning Zhiyuan's status, but they were his elders, and yelling was really disrespectful.
Reason and etiquette are not contradictory, but when there is no definite evidence to pull the queen into the list of suspects, Ning Zhiyuan still has to abide by this etiquette in front of the queen, although the status of those outside is not high, but they are all elders who have grown up with him, and he must also abide by this etiquette, "Erchen understands, the outside affairs are still under the control of the queen mother, and Erchen is waiting for his father here!" ”
"The palace will block the spread of news first, and the rest of the matter will be handed over to the book!" Now that cases like this are all taken over by Dongchang, it is of course more convincing for the queen to stay out of the matter.
"The old slave went to see if anyone had arrived!" Shu Ruhai has also taken over a lot of murder cases during this time, most of them are palace maids who are ordered by their masters to dump each other, and he is very simple to deal with, but Du Yiyi is not a person in the palace, nor is he a palace maid, this case appeared near Chang'an Palace again, so many sensitive factors are superimposed, making him very tricky.
The crowd in the hall was in a commotion, a eunuch ran in a hurry, Shu Ruhai, who had just taken half a step, sped up his pace, walked to the threshold and joined the eunuch, the eunuch muttered a few words in his ear and retreated to the side, Shu Ruhai glanced at the commotion of the crowd, shook the whisk in his hand, turned around, hurriedly walked to the queen and knelt down.
"The old slave should be damned, that eunuch bit his tongue and committed suicide!"
The queen changed color, waved her sleeves and scolded: "What! This palace handed over people to the East Factory, how can you be so careless in the East Factory! ”
"The old slave should die, the old slave should die!" Books crawl on the ground like a sea, knocking their heads down.
The queen snorted angrily: "Such an important person didn't even look at it, what are so many people in your Dongchang doing to eat." You are an old man in the palace, how can you not even know how to prevent sinners from committing suicide! ”
"The queen mother is angry, the old slave should die, the old slave should die!"
The book was like the sea, and he didn't dare to lift it, and he knocked his head three times.
Ning Zhiyuan didn't want to see the queen acting like a sea of books, so he stepped forward and picked up the book that was kowtowing to the sea and said: "Everyone is dead, and it is useless for the father-in-law to blame himself, and he also asked the father-in-law to check the clean room, how did this eunuch enter the woods?" Did anyone see him go into the woods? ”
"The old slave understands, the old slave understands, the old slave will go and check!"
A crazy eunuch, according to the rules of the palace, must be detained or secretly executed, this eunuch had abnormal symptoms before, but he was diligent and reasonable, and Dongchang did not deal with it, no one would have expected that such a small eunuch would actually lurk outside the Chang'an Palace to kill Princess Rui, the eunuch had no intersection with Du Yiyi Ning Zhiyuan in his life, let alone hatred, although his move was related to mental disorders, but more conjectures would stay on the conspiracy.
The queen seems to be the most suspicious person in this assassination, but she also has this enough reason to give a rhetorical question, and sending someone to assassinate Du Yiyi outside the Chang'an Palace when it is obviously unfavorable to her, this is the biggest loophole.
As soon as Shu Ruhai left, the emperor rushed over, although he didn't like Du Yiyi and now he also had a grudge against Shen Ke, but such a bad case happened in the palace, he still had to rush over to preside over the overall situation.
The queen and the emperor reported the progress of this case, this matter not only involved the unfavorable affairs of Dongchang, but also involved the deadlock between the queen and Ning Zhiyuan, the injured Emperor Du Yiyi didn't care, he only cared about Ning Zhiyuan's attitude towards himself and let everyone know his attitude towards Dongchang.
Dongchang was set up by him, it turns out that his decision-making is very wise, since the establishment of Dongchang, the harem has been a lot cleaner, and he is also very relieved of the safety of the palace, many people are against Dongchang, but he will not have a little doubt about Dongchang, Shu Ruhai is a loyal servant who has accompanied him for 20 years of ups and downs, a eunuch, even if the power is great, it is impossible to overthrow the Ning family.
"You don't have to be too anxious, I will give you an explanation for this matter, what about the book?" The emperor swept around, and when he saw that this kind of thing happened on weekdays, Shu Ruhai, who would rush to the scene as soon as possible, was not there.
"Father-in-law has gone to the clean room!" The queen replied.
"Changliu let him take a look, and Ruxi's relatives also checked, if there is no kindness and no resentment, how can he carry a murderous assassination."
I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, the emperor's gaze slowly crossed the queen's cheeks, and his low brows were furrowed and aimed at Ning Zhiyuan.
The rivalry of the court has begun to spread to the harem, one is the son he focuses on supporting, the other is his most guilty and beloved son, the one on his side is his wife who has accompanied him for more than 20 years, the other is the Dahe hero who has pinned the three armies on Xiyi, and now there is one more who has not yet rushed back is a slave who has served him for more than 20 years, this melee, the position he stands in plays a decisive role, but now, he can't stand in the position he should stand on.
"Father, the inner court of the palace, a small eunuch can carry a murder weapon to assassinate, and the security of the inner court can also be seen, whether this eunuch is really crazy or fake crazy is unknown, he can enter the vicinity of Chang'an Palace is the key to his assassination, and the son asks his father to strictly investigate the case and return the harem to a stable place."
With the emperor's attitude towards Du Yiyi, it is not easy for Du Yiyi to get the results he deserves today, whether it is the queen or Shu Ruhai, the emperor will not punish the two because of Du Yiyi, not to mention that now the eunuch has committed suicide by biting his tongue.
"I will deal with these things, I still have important things to do, Queen, you block this news to prevent rumors from spreading, Zhiyuan, since you are so anxious, you will investigate this matter with Shu Ruhai, so you should be satisfied!"
The emperor glanced at the screen coldly, saw the blood that the palace maid had just brought out, and turned his head with a blank face.
After the queen replied yes, Ning Zhiyuan stared at the basin of blood for a while, gritted his teeth and bowed down.
Ning Zhiyuan's demeanor was also seen by the emperor, he had never been able to figure out this son's thoughts, but even if he doted on him again, there were some things he still couldn't give into! Du Yiyi is Shen Ke's younger sister, and for this alone, he must not watch his son go down the road opposite to him.
"Hmmm! After dealing with these things, the queen, you can go to me later. ”
The queen responded again, sending the emperor out of the palace, Concubine De had already left Chang'an Palace with her relatives and daughters, and she had not returned yet, and the queen sent the emperor out of Chang'an Palace before turning back.
Chang Liu rushed all the way to the palace, and brought with him the ointment to treat the knife wound, after saluting the queen, he asked Xu's mother to apply medicine to Du Yiyi, and he took advantage of the queen's absence to pull Ning Zhiyuan to the side, and learned about the process of Du Yiyi's injury.
The medicine that often flows does have a miraculous effect on stopping bleeding, Du Yiyi applied the medicine for only a moment, and the wounds on his hands no longer bleed, and he drank the medicine boiled by the imperial doctor and the tonic sent by the imperial dining room and lay down for half an hour, Du Yiyi's white face also looked a lot better.
"Let's go back to the Rui Palace!"
The knife in her waist prevented her from getting up, and the wound on her hand prevented her from moving her arm, but the pain was nothing to her, and the pain she had endured in the two months she had been in this world was a thousand times worse than this.
She didn't want to stay in this place without any human touch for a moment, and she couldn't lie down at ease on this comfortable phoenix bed. She will not forget the eyes of the eunuch called Ruxi before, cold and resolute, definitely not the eyes that a stupid and crazy eunuch should have, at that time, Mother Xu was not there, and Mrs. Xintonghou had just walked away, and at that moment, it would definitely not be her unlucky to encounter such an accident.
It's definitely a conspiracy.
"You're bleeding now, you still need to rest a little longer, rest a little longer!" Ning Zhiyuan sat on the side of the bed and looked at her nervously, if it weren't for such an injury, he would never have been able to get so close to her.
Mother Xu had already retreated with Chang Liu, the queen had already gone to Ningyuan Palace, and as soon as the palace maids were standing in the main hall, only the two of them were left in the dormitory.
"It's okay!" Du Yiyi doesn't want to be unreasonable, speaking without evidence will only be regarded as a back-and-forth, she believes that some people will uphold justice for her, Shen Ke, or Ning Zhiyuan in front of her.
Ning Zhiyuan was nervous and anxious, and the anger in his eyes was even more undisguised, this dormitory, which had become cold and humane, was no longer her battlefield.
Looking at each other, Ning Zhiyuan understood the stubbornness behind the clear gaze, and felt extremely guilty for his current powerlessness, if there was no dispute between him and King Chao, how could she suffer such a hardship today.
"Don't worry, the pain I have suffered is a thousand times worse than these, a small injury, it is not in the way!"
Maybe it was because there was too much blood before, which made Du Yiyi a little weak and weak, and her voice was very gentle and soft.
Ning Zhiyuan looked at these clear and bright eyes, his gaze crossed along the curved willow eyebrows from tail to the center of his eyebrows, no matter what it was, she could be empathetic and reasonable to make regressive compromises for others, since Qinglan's entry into the mansion, he had never seen Du Yiyi work hard to defend her identity as Princess Rui, he only saw her step by step, even if she saw that she was flirting with Ziyue, she was unmoved, he didn't need such gentleness, he was as stubborn as her gentleness, he could only say that she didn't care.
"There is so much blood, how is it a small injury, you take a rest, and I will deal with this matter and send you back!" Now at this time, he couldn't let Du Yiyi take another step out of his sight, he carefully controlled the anger in his voice, for fear that he would screw her gentleness to pieces.
Du Yiyi looked at the splendid dormitory, every morning, the queen will get up in the place where she is lying to dress and change clothes in the mirror, on the top of the phoenix bed, through the veil as light as wings, you can see the peony that has been carefully carved out by countless craftsmen graceful and luxurious, Chang'an Palace, on behalf of a woman can enjoy the highest status that can be obtained, she is the queen of the world, wealth and glory are innate, and the power is monstrous and fearless, but this can not escape that she is a mother.
"What are you going to do with it! The eunuch was not crazy, he was instigated by someone, but there was no proof of his death. If it's really the queen, if there is no evidence, how do you deal with it? There was obviously anger in her heart, but she asked lightly.
Ning Zhiyuan met the pretending to be free and easy, and replied categorically: "I will never allow anyone to hurt you like this!" ”
Du Yiyi's heart palpitated, but this emotion was quickly replaced by her sneer: "How can you help her?" ”
"It's tolerable or unbearable, if it's really her, I won't back down!"
The current situation, he has no way to retreat, although the cabinet is here, but the situation of the military is not optimistic, there is always a day when the gap between the emperor and Shen Ke will completely collapse, since he wants to go, he must take a road that he will not regret, the truth he wants has not yet been revealed, and he can't just be forced by this mother and son to withdraw from this stage.
"If you don't succeed, you're going to be a sinner!"
She can understand the meaning of these words, sooner or later, Shen Ke and the emperor will have a formal confrontation, and then the queen and King Chao will inevitably become the emperor's most resolute choice.
"It's all hurt, so much care! You, Princess Rui, are really deserving of your heart! Ning Zhiyuan laughed and joked, and reached out to hold Du Yiyi's uninjured left hand.
Du Yiyi subconsciously shrank, but she couldn't withdraw her hand, thinking that she and she were already sitting with clothes on, she didn't bother to move anymore.
"I'm not going to be moved!" Du Yiyi sneered in response.
Ning Zhiyuan cherished the delicate hand in his hand, gently reached out and held the edge of the blanket and asked softly, "Is it okay?" ”
Du Yiyi suddenly felt that it was really torture to face such a pair of tender eyes, his pitiful and cautious appearance was cute and interesting, but she couldn't enter the state of lovers looking at each other at all, and nodded affectionately and gently.
The surroundings were very quiet, they were very close, except for the clothes, that is, the skin, Du Yiyi's palms were sweating, and her cheeks were climbing up the clouds.
Ning Zhiyuan bit his lip lightly, and slowly lifted the blanket, the knife skin on his waist was bleeding non-stop, and the bandaged white cloth had already been dyed red, if it wasn't for the warm and moist touch, it looked like a dark red belt, the blood around the white cloth had already been wiped away by Mother Xu, and the exposed skin was as white as snow, and it was slowly rising and falling with Du Yiyi's rapid breathing.
"It's so badly injured, it's a shame that you still say it's a small injury!" Ning Zhiyuan regretted that he carefully covered her chest with her untied middle coat, and did not touch her skin as a gentleman.
"Then you must have never seen a serious injury!" Du Yiyi thought of the two months when she couldn't move, and the shyness in her heart was much lighter.
