Chapter 247: The Third Elder Brother is here
In the main house of the Yin courtyard, the queen mother sat on the top, the prince and Tong Jiahui sat at the bottom of the back, there are so many nobles today, and the chairs in the room are obviously not enough, so the rest of the people simply stand, anyway, no one is in the mood to care about this now.
Yin stood under Tong Jiahui, Yinxiang was next to Yin, the tenth elder brother was next to Yinxiang, and behind him stood the ninth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother.
There were people standing on both sides, and everyone surrounded Li Yurou and the midwife.
When the midwife saw the embarrassed Li Yurou, her eyes welled up with excitement, she hated Li Yurou first, if it weren't for Li Yurou, she wouldn't have fallen to such a point, but she thought again, if it weren't for Li Yurou, her son would definitely not be able to keep it, thinking of this, the midwife wanted to step forward and pinch Li Yurou's action stopped.
She sat on the ground, her heart was mixed, she hated God's injustice, and she also complained about her son's incompetence, she sat on the ground, waiting for her final verdict.
Li Yurou was covered in dust and blood, her hair was scattered, her appearance was very embarrassed, she knelt in the middle, her face also had a demented expression, she was waiting to be interrogated by the Queen Mother and others.
Hongqing has been carried back by Sanfujin, and Li Yurou's mistake can't be blamed on Hongqing.
Just as the Queen Mother was about to speak, suddenly the third elder brother and the eighth elder brother and eight Fujin came over.
When Bafujin heard the news of Wanru's production from Concubine Yi, she said goodbye to Concubine Yi, and on the way she happened to meet the eighth elder brother and the third elder brother, Wanru gave birth, for the third elder brother and the eighth elder brother, the involvement is not very large, especially the third elder brother, who is not very close to Yin on weekdays, he only needs to be present.
So the third elder brother is not in a hurry, even with it, the eighth elder brother can't seem too anxious, his sister-in-law gave birth, what is his little brother-in-law doing in a hurry, so the third elder brother and the eighth elder brother walked slowly on the road, chatting while walking, halfway to the road, they heard about the strange scene just now, so the three of them were in a hurry and hurried over.
The three of them saluted everyone, and the eighth elder brother looked around, and when he saw the brothers led by Yin, he immediately followed and stood over, and Bafujin then stood behind the crown princess.
Only the third elder brother was left standing in the middle, and then the queen mother spoke, "The third brother, you came just in time, the mourning family is about to send someone to find you, have you heard about today's events?" ”
After all, the third elder brother is still young at this time, the city government is not deep, and he doesn't think about it much, he is full of distress now, Li Yurou is very much loved by him on weekdays, he heard the queen mother's question, he didn't answer the queen mother's words first, but looked at Li Yurou first.
If this is placed in the period of the Nine Dragons to seize the heir, the third elder brother will not provoke the queen mother's dislike for a woman, but now is not the sensitive period of the Kowloon heir, so the third elder brother will make the queen mother unhappy.
At this time, when the third elder brother heard the queen mother's question, he first looked at Li Yurou, who was on the ground and was devastated like a defeated flower, and his eyes were distressed, Li Yurou was the woman he had spoiled for several years after all, and she also gave birth to his eldest son.
But now is obviously not the occasion for the love of children, he took his eyes off Li Yurou, and then replied respectfully, "Back to the Queen Mother's words, today's events, Yinzhi also heard about it on the way here, however, the Li family has always been virtuous and kind, so Yinzhi guessed, is there any misunderstanding in this?" ”
After the third elder brother said this, his eyes rolled, he stared at the midwife who was also kneeling on the ground, and he spoke again, "Or, is it that this mother-in-law framed the Li family for no reason in order to save her life?" The third elder brother felt that the latter was very likely.
It's no wonder that the third elder brother thinks like this, Li Yurou is his woman after all, and now that something like this has happened, his face is also very gloomy, so the third elder brother especially hopes that this matter is a misunderstanding.
And Li Yurou's impression of the third elder brother on weekdays is indeed soft and weak, she is a powerless little woman, speaks softly, and never treats her subordinates harshly, and the third elder brother talks about some historical things with Li Yurou on weekdays, Li Yurou also shows concern for the country and the people, and there is a big difference between Sanfujin and people who don't know a few big characters, how can such a kind Li Yurou harm others?
Besides, Li Yurou is his third elder brother Yinzhi's person, and he stays in his backyard all year round, and the number of times she sees Wanru in a year is only a handful, not to mention that she has any grievances with Wanru, no matter how you look at it, she has no motive to harm Wanru.
Li Yurou and Wanru, the two of them can't fight each other, Li Yurou hurt Wanru, she is a side Fujin of the third elder brother, what benefits can she get?
No matter from which point of view, Li Yurou is a kind person, and she has no motive to harm Wanru, this is the voice of the third elder brother.
As soon as the third elder brother said this, not only Yinhe and the Empress Dowager Tong Jiahui and others, but even the last Prince Yinxiang and his wife who came over felt that the third elder brother's words were very inappropriate, and the third elder brother's feelings of protecting his own people were understandable, but the situation just now has shown that the murderer is Li Yurou.
Although they didn't see the scene of the queen mother interrogating the midwife, but when Yin chased and beat Li Yurou later, they all saw it, if Li Yurou was right, would she run? When Yin beat her, didn't she say anything?
Now that the third elder brother has already heard about it, why should the third elder brother question the queen mother, obediently hand over everything to the queen mother, and listen to the queen mother's interrogation, isn't it over?
At this time, everyone had only one thought in their hearts, this Li Yurou was really favored by the third elder brother, she confused the third elder brother a lot, and the third elder brother even questioned the queen mother's judgment for her.
These three elder brothers are really stupid to read.
Everyone thought so in their hearts, and of course the Queen Mother thought so in their hearts, she was full of anger and ready to interrogate Li Yurou, but as soon as the third elder brother came, the first sentence was that she might have made a mistake.
The Queen Mother has never tried any cases in her life, she has not held the real power of the harem in her life, and finally tried the case for the first time, but the third elder brother overturned her result in the first sentence when she came.
The Queen Mother was a little angry in her heart, and her already angry mood was even more angry because of the third elder brother's words, and when she saw the third elder brother first glanced at Li Yurou and then answered her words, the Queen Mother's anger was directly expressed on her face.
Now that the people are there, and Li Yurou's performance of running away just now proves that the Wanru blood collapse was done by Li Yurou, it is at this time, the third elder brother is still obsessed, and the queen mother is very unhappy.
The queen mother is in a high position, even Kangxi has to provide for her in the face, and will not refute her words, since Xiaozhuang's death, she does not need to be low-key, nor does she need to hide her true emotions, it is because her unhappiness at this time is shown on her face.
The Queen Mother said coldly, "Third child, do you think that the mourning family was wrong just now?" ”
Hearing the Queen Mother say this, the third elder brother's nerves that had deviated finally returned to the right path, and he hurriedly bowed down and replied, "Yinzhi doesn't dare." ”
"Since you don't dare, you can stand aside first, and you can see if the mourning family is wrong!" The Queen Mother casually pointed to the ground, and the third elder brother immediately passed obediently.
Seeing this, the queen mother was less dissatisfied on her face, she turned her head and saw the midwife and Li Yurou kneeling on the ground, she cleared her throat, and then said, "Wulanala clan" The queen mother shouted the midwife, and the midwife heard the queen mother call her, she quickly knelt straight and listened to the training.
"Wulanala clan, you said that the person who instructed you to poison the four blessings is the Li side of the third elder brother, then look at the person who is kneeling next to you, but the person who commanded you?"
The midwife glanced at Li Yurou, she nodded honestly and said, "It's the Li side Fujin in front of her, when the slave and maid were worried about raising money everywhere, it was the Li side Fujin in front of her who suddenly appeared in front of the slave and maid, and told the slave and maid that she could repay the usury for the slave and maid's son, but she asked the slave and the maid to do one thing for her, and the slave and maid were eager to save the son, so she agreed." ”
The midwife, Balabala, recounted the scene.
As a result, after the midwife said this, the queen mother hadn't opened her mouth yet, but the third elder brother opened her mouth first, "You mother-in-law must not spew blood, the lord's side Fujin has been staying in the lord's backyard, how can she know that you are in urgent need of money, and how can she suddenly appear in front of you?!" ”
After listening to the words of the third elder brother, the mother-in-law immediately replied, "How did Li Fang Fujin know that the slave and maid were in urgent need of money, and the slave and maid didn't know, anyway, what the slave and maid knew was that the day Li Fang Fujin appeared in front of the slave and maid was the tenth day of the second month. The midwife told her the exact date of Li Yurou's meeting with her.
Hearing the midwife's words, the third elder brother's face was ugly, because on the tenth day of the second lunar month, Li Yurou was indeed not in the palace, and she went out of the palace to see her father.
After the New Year, Li Yurou has been asking him to go out of the palace to go back to see, she has been in the palace for several years, and she has never seen her father and mother again, and now after the New Year, all she saw was the scene of other people's family carnival, so this year's biggest wish is to go back to see her father and mother.
Li Yurou cried and cried in front of him and said what her father and mother worked hard to raise her, she couldn't be filial in front of her father, it was her who shouldn't be, she was not filial, and now she often dreamed of her father and mother in her dreams these days, so she thought that her father and mother missed her, so she begged the third elder brother to be merciful and let her go out of the palace and return to the house to meet her father and mother.
The third elder brother was moved by Li Yurou's narration, and he was also moved by Li Yurou's filial piety, since Li Yurou gave birth to his eldest son, he treated Li Yurou very much, and now Li Yurou wants to see her father, anyway, it's not a big deal, just go.
So the third elder brother, who had such an idea, let Li Yurou go out of the palace for two days, the day Li Yurou left the palace was the ninth day of February, and the day she returned to the palace was the tenth day of February, but on the tenth day of February, Li Yurou was about to go to the palace before returning to the palace.
Li Yurou explained that her father and mother missed her too much, so she stayed for a while, and it wasn't a big deal anyway, so the third elder brother heard about it and passed.
Now I heard the midwife mention that the third elder brother's face was very bad, Li Yurou was indeed not in the palace for the past two days, and Li Yurou had time to commit the crime.
