Chapter XXIV: The Case of Conspiracy
For many years, Gu Quan finally said the word "rebellion" that pressed in his heart, and he was full of emotion.
He said bitterly: "Back then, the old man was a judge of the Tai Hospital, and he was loyal to the king. However, the harem is treacherous, and under the favor of Concubine Ji, she has to be favored! used her years of companionship with the emperor to blind the saint and confuse the harem!
The death of the eldest prince born by Concubine Ji has disappointed her expectations for many years, and since then, the old man has been personally conditioning her body. But after several years of conditioning, the old man finally diagnosed that Concubine Ji Guifei was old and gave birth at an advanced age, which hurt the root cause and could not be fertile, so she hated the old husband very much.
At that time, the queen had already given birth to the crown prince in the palace, and Concubine Li gave birth to the fourth son of the emperor. Concubine Ji has no children and wants to raise the fourth son of the emperor under her knees, but Concubine Li's mother is not an ordinary person, she is the daughter of Lord Li, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and Concubine Ji only has dangerous tactics.
The queen mother in the palace was dissatisfied with the emperor's exclusive favor of Concubine Ji, blaming her for frequently framing pregnant concubines, resulting in a thin heir and several times embarrassing Concubine Ji. Concubine Ji killed two birds with one stone, asked me to provide poison, she ordered the palace people to attack, poisoned the queen mother, and blamed Concubine Li, causing Concubine Li to commit suicide and harm the Li family.
Since the poison was originally from my hand, Concubine Ji threatened me and forced me to commit perjury on her behalf. I knew that she would kill people afterwards, so I took advantage of the chaos to escape from the palace overnight. ”
After speaking, Gu Quan knocked on the ground and knelt down.
After hearing this, King Duan also sat for a long time, and suddenly laughed and said: "I can't imagine that this queen mother had such great wisdom back then, and she hid this king in the cold palace for six years with humiliation and burden, which saved the mother and son of this king, and let this king not recognize the thief as his mother!" ”
Gu Quan took out a stack of papers from his arms and wrote the whole story with his own hands: "Although this confession is not enough to clear up Concubine Li's grievances, it is just for the old man to feel at ease, so that no one knows the truth." ”
Duan Wang did not know the real cause of death of the princess from his previous life to his death, Ji Guifei killed the crown prince and pushed Xie Ruiqi to the position of the prince, but the prince suppressed Ji Guifei's mother.
Later, Concubine Ji died of illness, and her father died of depression soon after, and was succeeded by the crown prince Xie Ruiqing. Thinking about it this way, Xie Ruiqi may have borrowed Concubine Ji to ascend to the throne, and then get rid of Concubine Ji to avenge Concubine Li.
"Lord Wang, the old man still has one more thing on his mind, that is, about Begonia's life experience. The old man wanted to explain the matter to Haitang in front of the prince, and asked the prince to make the decision for Haitang! Gu Quan kowtowed again.
King Duan's heart moved, and he agreed. Gu Quan called Begonia in.
Haitang looked puzzled, standing in front of Xie San, staring at him with big eyes and worried eyes, as if he wanted to see some clues from Xie San's face. Xie San couldn't help but feel distressed, and he couldn't wait to take her into his arms and iron out the twists and turns imposed on her by the years.
"Begonia, the teacher has never mentioned your life experience. It's because the teacher can't take you back to Beijing to find your biological father, and I don't know what the situation of your father's family is, whether it can accommodate you, but it is better to let you grow up in this calm Linyue Lake.
Now it is difficult to protect the teacher himself, and he can't bear to let you follow the teacher and wander away, today I will tell you your life experience and inventory, and ask the prince to take you back to Beijing to recognize your father. ”
Life? Haitang didn't want to know, when she was a child, she asked the master, the master was unwilling to say, she guessed that her own parents abandoned her, whether she was a great traitor, the master didn't want her to know, and she broke off this thought. Now, the master wants to tell her about her background!
She stared blankly at the familiar face of the master, and frames of her studying medicine and life with the master from childhood to adulthood were churning in her mind.
When she was a child, the master would not help her tie her braids, and she was often so busy that she had to pull her scalp off. In the end, Aunt Feng always has to come, so that she can comb it well.
The master taught her to memorize herbs, but if she couldn't remember them, she let her taste them herself, and some herbs were so bitter that she burst into tears. Once, she confused two herbs with similar leaves, and tasted the one that had the effect of paralyzing the nerves, and her tongue was straight for a day, and the master would not give her an antidote.
"If you use the wrong medicine to treat someone, you may even lose your life, but it's not just as simple as making your tongue straight for a day! Do you still think those two herbs look alike? The master asked sternly.
Little Begonia shook her head with tears.
"Isn't it like?" The master asked.
The little begonia said with a crying voice: "One leaf is serrated high, and the other is short......"
"What else?"
"One leaf has a clear vein on the back and one is not; One was quickly wilted when taken off, and the other was still very energetic. Xiao Haitang cried out all of a sudden: "Master! Begonia remembered! They deserve begonia poisoning, they don't look like ...... at all."
Once, when Xiao Haitang was collecting medicine on the Moon Ridge by herself, she suddenly heard a faint cry. Xiao Haitang was scared in her heart, and she turned around and wanted to run. But she listened carefully, and the voice was intermittent and breathless. Little Begonia plucked up the courage to look through the grass and found a half-dead girl inside. She put the girl in the basket and carried her home.
The girl was about three years old, dressed in ordinary clothes, and had no object on her body to identify herself. Because she had very severe pneumonia, her parents felt that she was hopeless, and they were unwilling to spend any more money on her treatment, so they threw her on the Moon Ridge.
The master took care of her for three days and three nights, and the girl turned the corner. At that time, Xiao Haitang felt that the master was the Guanyin Bodhisattva who saved the suffering, and from this time, in her small heart, she really took learning medicine to save people as her mission.
After the girl recovered from her illness, she knew from her simple words that her home was not in Yuehu Town. As for where, she herself couldn't tell. So the master left her behind, named her Ji'er, and let her be the companion of Xiao Haitang.
When she was thirteen or fourteen years old, Haitang went to the town to see a doctor, and when she came back late, the master waited for her, asking her to tell all the medical cases she encountered during the day, and especially to record them. Her confidence in giving people medical treatment comes from the master behind her.
Thousands of thoughts passed through the gap, and hot tears came out of Begonia's eyes.
"Master! I don't want to know who I am at all, I just want to be your apprentice, I just want to follow you......" Begonia couldn't cry.
Xie San's eyes suddenly turned red: Begonia, won't you go back to Kyoto with me?
