Chapter 210: Give and Return
Chapter 210: Give and Return
Compared with the war and the future of the country, the news of Du Yiyi's return to the Shen Mansion that night did not cause much repercussions in the capital, except for a few people who had been paying attention to this matter, no one would care about the woman they had always hated when the whole country was celebrating.
Under the Xiangfei bamboos in the courtyard that had grown dense bamboo leaves, Du Yiyi had a conversation with Ning Zhiyuan, and after that, she lived in the Shen Mansion and transported it to the Shen Mansion after the things in Zhuangtian.
And she lived in the same courtyard as she had been when she had not been married.
At night, Lu Xiangxue had already woken up, under the dense forest and green barrier, Du Yiyi could still see the orange light that appeared in the sky, the Shen Mansion, which was about to sleep in the past, woke up because of her awakening, and it changed one day, although Shen Ke gave the emperor a face and did not get angry at someone who deliberately poisoned his wife and children, but the people in the house were not the emperor, at this time, no one dared to touch the sensitive nerves of the first person in the military.
"Princess, don't you want to go over and have a look?"
Bai Wei cut off the forked wick, and the bright room darkened a little.
"There is no danger when you wake up, and it will be the same tomorrow!" Du Yiyi rubbed her brows, turned around and sat on the soft couch,
Bai Wei immediately closed the window and retreated to the cubicle outside.
Many things don't seem to be what they seem, tigers raise sheep just to eat sheep to fill their stomachs after the sheep grow fat and strong, cat and mouse frolic just to make the prey collapse, in the eyes of the world, Oga's most loving couple, it is impossible to be as happy as it seems.
She knew before that even if the love between Lu Xiangxue and Shen Ke was envious of others, it was just in vain, because after getting drunk and beating someone that day, Shen Ke took her hand and said some words in a drunken dream, and later, she was able to confirm the truth of these words. And now that there is this gap between the two, can there still be the usual love and intimacy that is superficial? But she also knew that Lu Xiangxue loved Shen Ke, but she gave up her life to love.
The child's reuse of a woman has been magnified to the same level as her life in the society she lives in, can Lu Xiangxue bear to lose this child just because of her husband's selfish desires? Or is this a play that Lu Xiangxue did not hesitate to sacrifice the fetus in her womb and Shen Ke for her love?
She couldn't accept the truth that Ning Zhiyuan said, so she stayed here and watched, she couldn't accept her conjecture, and no one could accept this kind of inference.
That's a child who is connected by blood and flesh, as a parent, how can he kill him! Then, the final inference can only go in the direction that some people have already set.
This is indeed the perfect move.
She stayed here to see if this move was just a false shot.
At the end of the examination, as the prince who counted the results of the three subjects, became the most powerful person in the examination, he could rely on his own likes and dislikes and desires to quietly change the fate of these scholars who had studied hard for ten years, it was this kind of power that was enough to make the old horse lost, the prince was very sober at this moment, he knew that there were countless pairs of eyes in the dark waiting for him to can't stand this huge temptation and went to the quagmire, so since the exam, he has not seen an invigilator examiner, Even when the civil and military officials were busy wooing these future pillars of Dahe, there was no scholar in Chengyuan Mansion.
In his hand, there is a list, which is Leng Qingjian's twenty people selected after the difficult choice, these people are now unknown, but after the progress of the court or sent to the state and county, they will rise to prominence under the help of some people, and finally become his helpers, twenty people, this is a number within the acceptable range of his allowability, as long as he cooperates properly with those examiners of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, no one will see the clues.
At night, as quiet as a dead thing, the stars flickering and the crescent moon and floating clouds, Chengyuan Mansion, which had no guests for many days, came to the back door with a man, the man muttered to the guard at the back door for a while and left, and the guard quickly went to the prince's residence and transmitted the news to him.
"Who can afford the wrath of the first person in the military?"
The list in the prince's hand had already been collected in his arms, and there was a kneeling guard in front of him.
Shen Ke is the first person in the military, others don't care about his family affairs, and he, the future king, can't help but care, not to mention that he always feels that the spearhead of this matter is faintly pointed at him, poisoning the Shen Mansion guarded by Shen Ke's own soldiers, and all that can be done is just a few people who hold the highest power in Dahe like him.
"Let that end don't send any more news, only by doing nothing can I let my father know my innocence!" If you want to weave a net, you will leave traces, and he can't let his footsteps cover up these traces, and the emperor disregards the opposition of his ministers to set up a brocade guard, but he is the most able to search for traces.
Many people were waiting for Shen Ke's anger, and they wanted to see what this anger meant, but in the early morning of the next day, Shen Ke had already taken leave, and even the affairs of the former military capital of the Chinese army were handed over to his close confidant Zhou Tingpu to deal with it wholeheartedly, staying in the Shen Mansion to take care of the weak Lu Xiangxue.
Rao Su and Dong Yi appealed to the emperor after going down to the dynasty and told the results of their investigation yesterday afternoon, this poison often came from the kitchen of Shen Mansion, and this poison is also a chronic poison, the dosage of the poisoner is very accurate, every time he ingests a little outsider, this poison has a period of accumulation in Lu Xiangxue's body before it begins to attack, and no one in the house is abnormal.
After hearing these words, the emperor's face turned pale, and he secretly instructed Rao Su Dong Yi not to reveal this clue to Shen Ke.
It's not from the kitchen, it's from outside, Lu Xiangxue is pregnant, she has received a lot of congratulatory gifts, and there are not a few sent from the palace, it takes a lot of effort to check it, fortunately, Lu Xiangxue pays special attention to her diet on weekdays, plus her body is not bad and does not need a lot of supplements, most of the supplements are still stored in the warehouse, and those that have been eaten by her are just sent by those few people, Lu Xiangxue's mother on Lu Xiangxue's side remembers it very clearly.
Queen, Concubine Chang, Concubine De, Concubine Chen, Mrs. Liu, the wife of Liu Zhen, Mrs. Fan, the wife of Fan Dongli, Mrs. Lu, and Mrs. Lu, the wife of Lu Yi'an.
These seven people are the people that Rao Su Dong intended to lock after a day of investigation.
The examination entered the marking stage, the candidates gathered in the capital and began to haunt the upper class society in the capital one by one, and the banquet poems were met with the villagers and townsmen, and the thinking was active and cared for national affairs, and the candidates from all over the country who had already eased their strength from the tension of the examination began to care about the case of Mrs. Shen that began to circulate recently.
Because the case involved the palace, Rao Su's investigation slowed down for a while, and only two suspects were eliminated in two days.
On February 28, the capital ushered in the news that Suzhou had won a great victory over the traitor Yang Yi and was killed, and the whole country rejoiced. The candidates who had been anxiously waiting for four days ushered in the gold list from the palace, and began to flock to the outside of the Gongyuan to find their names among the dense names, and the case investigated by Rao Su Dongyi once again eliminated the two suspects, and the scope has been narrowed to the queen, Concubine Chang, and Mrs. Liu.
The mother of a country, the mother of the prince, and the wife of the scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, the weight of these three representatives, that is, Rao Su's hand, who has always been known for his iron-faced selflessness, began to tremble after crossing out the name of Mrs. Fan, if it is the queen Chang Fei, this is a scandal in the heavenly family, and it is also a provocation by the heavenly family to the military, although the blood of the Dahe soldiers faded after the Fuhu military mutiny, but Shen Ke now holds a lot of power and wins the hearts of the military, if it is really for the queen Chang Concubine to fight for power for the crown prince Chao Wang and dump the military, what will Shen Ke do?
The case has been investigated to this point, but Rao Su and Dong Yi dare not take another step forward.
In the backyard of Shen Mansion, a large area of begonias has bloomed, and the housekeeper has transplanted several plants to Du Yiyi's yard in the name of Lu Xiangxue.
Lu Xiangxue's body is recovering, the two imperial doctors in the palace will come to treat the symptoms every day, this day because of the toxicity clearance has begun to switch to some Peiyuan solid medicine, because Lu Xiangxue is poisoned because of those supplements, Shen Ke, who has been in the Shen Mansion in his leisure recently, asked the two imperial doctors to test the bird's nest ginseng and other supplements in the house, and after confirming that there is nothing to do, they will be handed over to Lu Xiangxue's handmaidens for special management, the spring breeze at the end of February has been a little warm, and after a few days of recuperation, Lu Xiangxue's body is slowly recovering, In order to appease his most trusted courtiers, the emperor intercepted the affairs of the Governor's Mansion and sent them to Fan Dongli and Xiong Huai far away.
At the first glance when she saw Shen Ke, she knew that Shen Ke was an unsmiling iceman as everyone knew, but his wife's miscarriage and poisoning was like a fire melting hard ice, and the people in the house were discussing that the husband and wife were more affectionate than before, but no one knew that behind this affection was better than before, there were countless lives.
Lu Xiangxue thought that her efforts were worth it after all. There is only one man in the world who can make her risk her life to love, and as long as she is by his side, they will have many children. She could not meet him and warm him in his most difficult years, so she could only stand side by side with him on the road he walked alone, and let him stay for him with her meticulous care and considerate help.
At the time of the Fuhu military mutiny, she vaguely guessed a certain possibility, in the Shen Mansion, she was the closest person to Shen Ke, Ning Zhiyuan could guess Shen Ke's identity, how could she be stupid and ignorant.
This is her husband, the only husband in this life, if she doesn't help him, who will?
She knew very well that if Shen Ke couldn't get to the end he was going to reach, it would only be a death, and she, as his wife, was ready to live and die with him.
Shen Ke's change made her more determined in her thoughts, there was no ice that could not be melted, there was no stone that could not be warmed, in the night, she repented with the dead child, and in the day, she was hand in hand with her most beloved, she was painful and happy.
She wanted to prove that she loved him, loved him very much, and that she could do more than Du Yiyi jumping off the tower.
She believes that one day, the name Du Yiyi will be erased from the depths of Shen Ke's heart and return to her rightful place, and her name will be engraved in his heart, becoming the only name that can be compared to Shen Ke.
A child, she thought, is worth it.
