Chapter 293: There Are Always Traitors Who Want to Harm Me (11)
The barn was destroyed, Meng Hui and Qi Kang knew that anyone who could hear about this could think of this, but Meng Hui did not intend to "investigate and investigate" the truth.
Put it on the head of the thief, and by the way, just crack down on the underworld forces of the Great Concubine, there is no need to really dig deeper. When the time comes, digging up a whole bunch of things that she can't solve for the time being will be a problem.
It is difficult to say whether it was Qikang or not, Meng Hui glanced at his expression, calm and composed, but there was a slight doubt in his eyes, it was difficult to see if he sent someone to assassinate the barn.
The barn knows too many things about Chen Sesame and rotten grain, and most of them are about the palace and the private affairs, and the husband and son who have not yet driven to the palace may quietly contact the family to do it.
Meng Hui didn't plan to pursue the past at all, whether it was the first queen's palace or the antipathy of the civil and military officials, it was all aimed at the mediocre and incompetent emperor, and it didn't have much to do with her now.
As an official, as a citizen who is dependent on the Great Concubine, I am afraid that no one wants to see a foreign country take advantage of the situation when the country is in turmoil. As long as she can firmly control the government and convince people step by step with her true skills, then the biggest enemy of the Ji family in the court is probably only Qi Kang.
"Qingzhu, what year did you enter the palace? When did you arrive at Zixia Palace? On the way to the court, Meng Hui held Qingzhu with her left hand, because it was still early, she had the heart to chat a few words on the road to inquire about the situation.
"Back to the emperor, the slave entered the palace at the age of seven, and he has been listening to errands in the Shangyi Bureau, and later the head of Huaisang...... He saw that the minions were still useful, and it happened that the Zixia Palace was short of manpower, so he transferred the minions to serve the emperor. It has been less than half a year since the slave arrived in Zixia Palace. ”
Meng Hui nodded, she had an impression of Huaisang, he was the most useful chief housekeeper by Ji Jin's side, younger than the barn, but he had always pressed the barn before.
It's just that I don't know why, Ji Jin abandoned Huaisang, and sent him to the palace where there was no master to live, and within a few months of going, the news of Huaisang's death came, and it was rumored that he committed suicide by taking poison.
"So, Huaisang is your benefactor?"
"Yes. The minions honored him as their father. ”
Meng Hui glanced at Qingzhu in surprise, but he didn't expect that this little boy who seemed cautious and cautious had no intention of hiding this matter. There are many people in the palace who worship the high and step on the low, and when they see that others are in trouble, they can't wait to leave the relationship all behind, and all the great kindness and virtue are left behind.
"Then do you know why Huaisang committed suicide?"
"Maybe it's grief, maybe it's ...... The minions don't know either. ”
Maybe it was because the emperor blamed the emperor for believing in the barn and other people who saw the wind and steered, Meng Hui estimated that he wanted to say this, but he was afraid that he would be taboo if he said it.
"Huaisang is taking poison?"
"Yes."
"Do you know what kind of poison it is?"
"Hades Order."
Meng Hui choked when she heard this, and actually named it after her boss's gold-lettered signboard, thinking that this poison was very powerful. But...... She suddenly thought of something, and she couldn't help but pause.
"The first emperor is also the Hades Order."
"Yes. Hades ordered the first poison of the Great Aunt, and the medicine bureau ...... It is available all year round. ”
It turned out that it was officially designated by the eldest concubine to use poison, and most of the important people who wanted to come to the palace loved to use this. Meng Hui glanced at Qingzhu and silently analyzed his murder suspicion.
Could it be that Huaisang was unwilling to die, so he complained about Ji Jin, so he got the Hades Decree and let Ji Jin die of the same poison as Huaisang? Qingzhu, as the empress's close attendant, has no problem getting a little Hades Order, he has the ability and has the opportunity and time to commit crimes.
Even if the person who helped him get the poison understood something afterwards, he would never dare to say that he had helped him, otherwise he would only die with him.
Motivation, time, tools, everything. The only question is, will Qingzhu really do this?
Meng Hui didn't dare to say that she looked at people accurately, but from childhood to adulthood to death, she had experienced so many things, and she could more or less get a glimpse of some inner situations from a person's appearance. And Qingzhu doesn't look like a person who can kill kings.
She decided to put this suspicion aside for now, and planned to continue to keep Qingzhu by her side. Even if he is really a murderer, the purpose is to avenge his benefactor, not political struggle or selfish interests.
What's more, judging from the current situation, Qingzhu is already the most reliable one of the people left behind in Zixia Palace, if he is abandoned, Meng Hui will really have no one around him.
There are not many people in the palace around Ji Luan, one by one, Meng Hui plans to transfer them all to Zixia Palace to do some chores, and important things have to be handed over to the clever and cautious Qingzhu.
She doesn't need to worry about things around her, so she can focus on the court.
*
In the Xuanzheng Palace, Meng Hui sat on the dragon chair, below which were officials with important positions above the fifth grade, all of them were women at a glance, only some male officials stood sporadically outside the hall, and there were more male low-grade officials at the bottom of the steps.
"Qi to the emperor, the sister has returned to the house at the end of the Yin time, and today I came to thank the emperor for Longen, and then ...... However, his body was so weak that he returned home and fell unconscious, and the doctors were trying their best to heal him, but he was unable to come. ”
A tall and thin woman in the hall frowned, standing a few steps in front of the official and telling Meng Hui about Jiang Xi's situation. Since Ji Luan has no memory of the officials of the previous dynasty, Meng Hui does not even know who she is.
Qingzhu, who was standing on the side, saw her glance at her, and hurriedly stepped forward a few steps to her ear and reminded softly: "Your Majesty, this is Sister Jiang Xishu, Jiang Yulin, and the current position of Fengche Commander." ”
The whole audience knew what the situation of "Ji Luan" was, and they all had some thoughts in their hearts when they saw this, but they didn't show it on their faces. Jiang Yulin's face was sad, and he was a little absent-minded, and after saying goodbye, he forgot to stand back for a while.
Meng Hui had the heart to re-establish a good relationship with the Jiang family, and after thinking about it, he immediately ordered in a deep voice: "Qingzhu, the Chuanshang Pharmacy sent the imperial doctor to the Jiang family to treat the hussar general. ”
After receiving the order, Qingzhu hurriedly turned around and walked to the rear to order the attendants below, but the officials present were shocked when they heard this.
Jiang Xi's general from Yipin has long been removed by the first emperor, and after entering the prison, she is a sinner, and now as soon as the new emperor takes the throne, she will be reinstated as an official, obviously preparing for war. As soon as everyone returned to Meng Hui's deep meaning, they had a little different views on this lucky dark horse that came out of the sky.
Meng Hui deliberately reinstated Jiang Xi's position so lightly, if he deliberately mentioned the matter of being removed in the past, neither the Jiang family nor the royal family would look good. Moreover, to change the will of the emperor, and it involves a series of complicated "moral etiquette" issues, she is too lazy to take this so-called "right road" and waste time.
Now, everyone is willing to pretend to have forgotten the will of the former emperor and Jiang Xi's identity as a sinner, and Meng Hui naturally insists on her identity. First, it can give the Jiang family a little face, and second, it can ease the tense relationship between the hundred officials and the royal family.
