Chapter 169: Futon Turmoil
The prince intended to make amends, and he carried out it very thoroughly, not only arranging for the old and weak to rest, but also asking the imperial doctor to ask for a safe pulse. The moment he saw the imperial doctor walk in, Gu Qingyi, who was talking to her grandmother, smiled and tightened her body unconsciously.
She must not let the doctor check the pulse!
The imperial doctor came in with a medicine box, and after entering, he did not squint, and saluted respectfully, "Old Taijun, Princess Qin, I am hereby to give you two peace on the orders of His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
"I'm fine." Gu Qingyi's thick eyelashes blinked, "Imperial Doctor, let's take a look at the old lady." ”
"Princess Niangniang, you are a double body, you should check the pulse, if there is any discomfort, even 10,000 heads are not enough to cut off." The imperial doctor looked disapproving, and he couldn't see anything unusual from his expression, and he didn't know if it was someone specially sent by the prince to catch the handle.
Zhu Shi looked at Gu Qingyi thoughtfully, saw that her thin lips were slightly pursed, her eyes were full of fear and vigilance, her eyes flashed slightly, and said, "Imperial Doctor Lin, Princess Qin has a good idea of her body, since she doesn't want to ask for a doctor, then forget it." You can rest assured, there is an old body as a guarantee, and you can't be blamed. ”
Imperial Physician Lin breathed a sigh of relief, he was a human spirit who had been in the palace for many years, adhering to the principle that more things are better than less, and directly pretended to be deaf and dumb about the reason why Princess Qin was unwilling to ask for a consultation, and only asked for the pulse of the Zhu family.
"The old lady was a little cold, and after returning home, she cooked a bowl of ginger soup and drank it."
Zhu withdrew his hand, "There's Doctor Laurien." ”
"Don't dare, I have to ask other adults for a pulse, so I retired first."
"Doctor Lin walks slowly."
Imperial Physician Lin bowed and retired, and the eunuch who was waiting was also waved down by the Zhu family, she looked at Gu Qingyi with a bright gaze, and said in a low voice, "You don't want to ask for a consultation, is there a problem with the child's month?" ”
Sure enough, the grandmother sensed the anomaly from her evasion.
"Pregnant in October." Gu Qingyi was finally relieved and didn't hide it anymore, "On March 3 last year, I was sold from the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion into the land of fireworks, and it was King Qin who saved me. ”
Even if she had heard Gu Qingyi's words in the Dharma as early as possible, it still made people feel sad when she heard it again, her hand hidden in her sleeve trembled a little, and it took a long time to suppress the surging emotions, and noticed the date of Gu Qingyi's pregnancy, "March 3rd, you were pregnant on March 3rd?" ”
March 3 is the death day of Yan Shunhua.
A look of pain flashed in Gu Qingyi's eyes, "That's right." ”
Zhu Shi looked at her high bulging lower abdomen, with a strange look on her face, and she didn't know what to think, she suddenly asked, "...... the child's father?"
"It's the king's." Gu Qingyi didn't want her grandmother to misunderstand King Qin's character, so she hurriedly explained, "The prince was drugged that day, and I was bought back by his guards. ”
Zhu's eyes swelled with complicated emotions, and he didn't know what to think, so in the end he just turned into a long sigh and never spoke again.
The ritual outside was still going on, and the sound of the prince reading the sacrificial text was faintly visible, and Gu Qingyi, who had been tossing all morning, was physically and mentally exhausted, and finally couldn't help but fall asleep.
I don't know how long it took, the bell rang together, Gu Qingyi woke up from her sleep, Zhu Shi looked at her cheeks that were flushed with sleep, and said, "The ceremony is over." ”
The sun was shining outside, and it was already noon.
The little eunuch who was left to wait outside hurriedly came in, "Old lady, Princess Qin, it's time to leave." ”
Gu Qingyi breathed a sigh of relief, and her heart finally passed today's festival without danger, but there was a sudden uproar outside, and she was slightly stunned, "What's going on outside?" ”
The front hall is high.
After the ceremony, all the officials ordered their wives to leave the venue in an orderly manner, Mrs. Zhou knelt for most of the day, her knees were already numb to pain, and she stumbled when she got up from the futon, and suddenly saw a flash of silver light, and was stunned.
The place where the silver light flashed was on the futon where Gu Qingyi was.
Her face sank suddenly, and she didn't care about Princess Duan and the others who were coming towards her, so she stepped forward to pick up the futon, pad her hands with a handkerchief, and pulled out three silver needles glowing with blue.
This color looks poisonous.
"Oh my God! What is this! Princess Duan covered her mouth with a handkerchief and exclaimed, "Princess Qin's futon, how can there be poisonous needles!" ”
Someone had already noticed Mrs. Zhou's abnormal behavior, and Princess Duan's exclamation attracted the attention of everyone on the high platform, and King Qin, who originally wanted to go to the side hall to pick up Gu Qingyi, paused, and saw the three silver needles on Mrs. Zhou's handkerchief, and his face sank suddenly.
He walked up to Mrs. Zhou and asked, "Mother-in-law, what's the green on the silver needle?" ”
Mrs. Zhou looked at its color, checked its taste, and her face was solemn, "This is a secret medicine of Fanbang, which makes the human body excited, and after two hours, the human body will be weak and weak, which is a stimulating medicine." ”
Two hours was enough for the ritual to end.
Everyone present was shocked, and they all broke out in a cold sweat. If Princess Qin is pierced by this needle, then she will remain in a state of excitement during the ceremony, and she will definitely be devoured by the toxin after leaving the palace, and she may give birth at that time, and how can a woman who has no strength give birth to a child safely.
What a murderous invisible!
Mrs. Zhou thought of the tea in the queen's palace, her face was even more ugly, the other party was ring after ring, it turned out that it had been designed a long time ago! The winter day was dark, and the sky was not bright at the beginning of the ceremony, and no one noticed that there would be silver needles hidden inside, if it wasn't for Mrs. Zhou stumbling and being flickered by the sun, otherwise she wouldn't have found that there were silver needles hidden inside!
She looked at the crown prince with a cold face, and so did King Qin, his eyes burned with anger, and he sneered, "Your Royal Highness the prince, my brother needs an explanation. ”
All kinds of eyes fell on him, the prince could barely maintain the expression on his face, he never thought that all his plans were perfectly avoided by Gu Qingyi, not only that, but also let his secret plan appear in front of others, it was as funny as stealing chickens and rice. He was even more violent in his heart, and he even held a grudge against Mrs. Zhou and Princess Duan.
King Qin was aggressive, and the hundred officials were watching again, the prince had to suppress the hatred in his heart, made a shocked look, and said with concern, "Although the palace sacrifices on behalf of the father, the sacrificial ritual is the responsibility of Taichang Temple. He instructed the eunuchs beside him, "Pass on Taichang Siqing." ”
Taichang Siqing's position was in the square, and when he was summoned forward, he trembled, and he saw the salute in a trembling voice, and the prince directly asked with a black face, "Pei Zhengyun, there was a poisonous needle on Princess Qin's futon, you quickly recruited from the truth, why did you want to murder Princess Qin!" ”
Taichang Siqing was so frightened that he knelt down, kept knocking his head, and soon oozed blood, "His Royal Highness the Prince, Weichen has been wronged, even if he gives 10,000 guts to the humble position, he will not dare to risk the crime of killing the head to murder Princess Qin and the emperor and grandson." ”
"The appearance of silver needles on the futon is already conclusive evidence, and you dare to quibble!" The crown prince was so angry that his face turned red, "Pei Zhengyun, you are so bold!" Come on, put the sinner Pei Zhengyun in prison and behead him according to the law! ”
"Your Highness, you have been wronged." Pei Zhengyun was so frightened that he almost fainted, and his face was pale, "I don't know how many officials and officials of Taichang Temple are, it is not excluded that there are other people who take the opportunity to make trouble and frame the lowly position, please find out the truth and make the decision for the lowly position." ”
"There is no need to quibble, you are the commander of Taichang Temple, if there is no order from you, how dare the petty officials and petty officials do anything!" The prince instructed the Imperial Forest Army, who walked up to the high platform but was slow to move, and ordered, "What are you still stunned to do, take it away!" ”
"Wait!"
King Qin stood up, the anger on his face had been replaced by silence, but his eyes were terrifyingly dark, "His Royal Highness the Prince, what Lord Pei said is reasonable, it is too arbitrary to sentence the Lord to death without verification, let's transfer it to Dali Temple." ”
Other officials who were good friends with Taichang Siqing also pleaded for mercy, Dali Siqing has always been upright, and at this time he also came out with a serious face to ask for the truth, and the prince's face became more and more difficult to see.
If he doesn't agree, it seems that he has a ghost in his heart.
But...... He thought of something, and his face softened slightly, "This palace is not unreasonable, since the second brother, the bitter master, proposed a strict investigation, then it was according to the second brother's wishes." After the start of the Spring Festival, the case of Pei Zhengyun's murder was transferred to Dali Temple for investigation, and there must be no mistakes. ”
The Spring Festival is closed for seven days, and after seven days, the case will be opened, and I am afraid that the daylily will be cold.
