Chapter 17: Exposure (3)

"Liang Shouchang, what do you think of these pulse cases?" Tuoba Hong's face is full of gloom.

Liang Yuanju and others arrived later, and they didn't know the inside story very well. After reading the prescription, they didn't dare to say anything, so they just explained the prescription truthfully, and it was exactly the same as what Imperial Doctor Wu said.

"It looks like the facts are conclusive." Tuoba Hong sighed, looked at Concubine Jing and said, "Wei, what else do you have to distinguish?" ”

Wei Mizhuang was already ill, and he was seriously injured after being kicked twice by the emperor. She shook her head with difficulty, and then laughed softly, and Hehe's broken voice squeezed out of her throat, oozing tightly: "I'm exhausted...... Let's ask the emperor to forgive me. ”

Tuoba Hong turned his face and said lightly: "Give the car to crack and divide the body of this slut." ”

"Your Majesty, after all, Wei is the daughter of Emperor Xinrong and the imperial concubine." Lin Yuan got up slowly and pleaded, "The car crack will damage the reputation of the royal family. ”

"And what do you say?" Tuoba Hong's face was full of ruthlessness: "Emperor Xinrong is my aunt, and she is the blood of the royal family, so she should not be implicated, but for Wei's sin, if it is just to give death, it will be too light!" ”

"The emperor said that you can't implicate the eldest emperor?" Lin Yuan looked at him: "Has the emperor ever thought about how she got such a rare thing as 'son and mother robbery'?" In the big case of changing children back then, how did she do it without leakage? Her mother's clan was defeated, and she was all supported by the emperor, and if she didn't have the power of the emperor to drive her, I am afraid she would not be able to do this......"

Tuoba Hong suddenly pondered, and said for a moment: "You are right! Xinrong is not innocent. He waved his hand again and said: "Spread the decree and behead Webster." Merriam-Webster, give Bai Aya. ”

With that, he flicked his sleeves and walked out of the hall.

Wei Mizhuang suddenly wailed loudly, and rushed over to catch up with the emperor, but was quickly held down by his subordinates. She stared at Lin Yuan with tears in her eyes: "Slut! The emperor just gave me death, and you want to kill my mother and family......"

Before the words fell, she had already received a slap on her face, and the two-inch-long nails on Wang Chengyi's hands scratched her beautiful face with three blood marks, which was shocking: "Wei Mizhuang, I have been bullied all these years, and today I finally got them all back." ”

Wei Mizhuang saw that it was her, and scolded: "Ant-like people ......" said and received several slaps in the face, Wang Chengyi hit her again and again, but Zhao Zhaoyi grabbed her.

"The queen is not in the palace, this matter should be handled by Zhaoyi." Lin Yuan said slowly: "Qi Ronghua, Chun Ronghua, Zhang Liangyuan, and Wang Chengyi, you all go back." ”

These four people hated Wei Mizhuang to the core, and they just saw that the Wang family was relieved, and they wanted to fight again, but now that Concubine Shu spoke, she had to retire temporarily. When saying goodbye, Chun Ronghua also threw herself in front of Lin Yuan's bed and kowtowed, thanking her for saving her life.

"You don't have to thank me, Xie Weis." Lin Yuan took a sip of tea: "The cause of Empress Chen's death, forgive me for being incompetent, I really can't find evidence." Fortunately, Webster has done a lot of evil, and Queen Chen's affairs can't bring her down, and there are old things ten years ago, she always has no shortage of braids for me to catch. ”

After speaking, he glanced at her: "You have also done your best in this incident, and I want to thank you." ”

Today's events, Chun Ronghua has made a lot of contributions. In fact, Wei Mizhuang is too smart, and she should not have been found out about drugging Zhang Liangyuan.

She has a confidant medical officer, and she has cleverly calculated the amount of the child and mother, whether it is Qiao Cainu back then or Zhang Liangyuan now, they can't see anything in their pulses. Even if Imperial Doctor Liang diagnoses the pulse, I am afraid that he will not be able to spy on the traces of the child and mother robbery.

It was Lin Yuan who found out the clues and ordered the two Ronghua, who lived in the same palace with Zhang Liangyuan, to increase the amount of passionflower in Zhang Liangyuan's incense, and she inhaled a large amount before it could appear in the pulse. A few months ago, Zhang Liangyuan fainted in the dormitory, which was also the reason for the large amount.

In this way, there is a big drama today.

After a while, everyone in the apron retreated. The palace people of Yuzhao Palace were ordered to close the doors and windows, and a few of Chu Xue's henchmen guarded the door again. In the dormitory, Lin Yuan rested on the couch, and there were only two Zhao Zhaoyi and Wei Shi left in front of him, as well as a few confidants of Kong Wu.

Zhao Zhaoyi pointed to Wei Shi who was pressed to the ground and said: "Niangniang, now that the queen is in the villa, the concubine is an assistant, so she should be on this errand." But according to the rules, the death of the imperial concubine is in the cold palace, you see......"

"No need." Lin Yuan commanded softly: "Zhaoyi, leave her in Yuzhao Palace, I will be useful." You first order someone to go to Webster's mansion, where there is a man from the right prime minister to guard it. You pass on my instructions to the right prime minister, let him stop the execution of the official messenger, and take advantage of the chaos to leave the life of Emperor Xinrong. ”

Zhao Zhaoyi nodded yes and retired.

The next Wei Mizhuang gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, Concubine Shu!" You and Zhao Zhaoyi colluded with the courtiers! ”

"Collusion?" Lin Yuan said disdainfully: "Zhao Zhaoyi's daughter, His Royal Highness Changning is the quasi-daughter-in-law of the right prime minister's family. Zhao Zhaoyi sent someone to pass a message to Prime Minister You, is there anything wrong? It's Webster, you just heard it, and this palace has ordered your mother to be saved. ”

There was no joy on Wei Mizhuang's face. Instead, she began to get terrified.

"Give me the antidote to the cold poison, and your mother will live." Lin Yuan said lightly: "You should know what I killed you for today!" ”

Wei Mizhuang suddenly burst out laughing. Her once elegant and quiet face was now stained with blood, and she laughed wildly, looking very hideous: "Lin Yuan, do you think I will say it!" I'm already dying, so naturally I'm going to bury you with me! Haha, let's die together......"

Lin Yuan's eyes were furious, and her fingers clasped tightly on the edge of the ivory bed. She glanced at the wardens standing there: "Go and get the house's goods." ”

***

On June 12, the thirteenth year of Qianwu, Concubine Jing Wei saw the crime of "female virtue is at a loss" and died in the palace. Concubine Wei's clan was implicated and beheaded.

On the same day, the critically ill concubine of Yuzhao Palace gradually showed signs of recovery. Concubine Shu was deeply blessed, and after ten days, she really recovered and slowly regained her health. The emperor was very surprised and ordered the monks of Mingjue Temple to enter the palace to pray for the blessing of the concubine.

Lin Yuan has been infected by cold poison for a long time, and finally saved his life after getting the antidote, but his weak body needs to be recuperated. She lay quietly in the palace for three months, during which she took a large amount of decoction to replenish her body, and according to the emperor's will, she pasted the Buddha seal and charm on the top and bottom of the Yuzhao Palace, and burned incense and prayed every day.

Finally, in the late autumn of September in the thirteenth year of Qianwu, she dressed up to attend the Double Ninth Festival, sitting on the highest seat opposite the queen, with a beautiful face and a slender figure, which aroused the infinite envy of others.

Before March, in order to coerce Webster to hand over the antidote, she wrenched off all ten of Webster's fingers with pliers, pumped her ribs, and tossed the dormitory of Yuzhao Palace all over the ground with blood. It's a pity that Wei refused to say whether she was alive or dead, she couldn't do anything, and finally gave her ten fingers of Emperor Xinrong, which forced her to open her mouth.

Naturally, in the end, Emperor Xinrong was also executed by her. The right prime minister took advantage of the chaos to send the stand-in that had been prepared to the execution ground, and secretly detained Xinrong, but harboring the prisoner was a capital crime after all, and they didn't dare to take risks, so they poisoned Xinrong to death and burned his body.

After experiencing the catastrophe of life and death, Lin Yuan felt that he had simply crossed over again. She smiled calmly, got up to serve wine to the emperor and queen, and overlooked the concubines under the seat, and her heart was full of mixed tastes.

"After Concubine Shu recovered from her illness, she was as beautiful as usual, and the palace was very pleased." The queen raised her eyebrows and said, "I hope you can serve the emperor more attentively in the future and assist the East Palace." ”

Shangguan Li wore a purple and gold crown on her bun, which was originally very tacky, but she was the only one who could wear a peerless jewelry. Lin Yuan looked at her, smiled and bowed her head, "The concubine respectfully follows the teachings of the queen's mother. ”

Takubahiro was already drunk. He stretched out his hand to hug the first concubine at the same time, and said with a smile: "Lili, Yuan'er, I am really blessed to have the two of you by my side." Let's go to Mingtai to listen to the play today, how about it? During the Chung Yeung Festival, you can drink as much as you want. ”

***

Lin Yuan regained her favor after recovering from her illness, although the emperor had an estrangement with their mother and son because of the prince's affairs, but because of pity for her, she struggled out of the ghost gate, and she was never left out in the cold.

Subsequently, she was reinstated as the assistant of the Sixth Palace.

The queen's grace is getting stronger.

A few months later, during the Spring Festival of the 14th year of Qianwu, the front line was mixed with a not-so-good news, that it was the commander of Zhenbei, General Shangguan, who had suffered from rheumatism because he had been in the bitter cold for a long time. Now he can no longer go to the battlefield due to illness, so he has to move to the mansion in Liangcheng, an important border town, to recuperate, led by General Chen Xiu, he just sits behind the scenes and listens to the battle report at any time and does some command.

Tuoba Hong looked worried. On the one hand, he favored Empress Shangguan more and more, added officials to several cousins of the queen, and made the queen's sister and Princess Xianyu's sister-in-law the prince of the palace. On the other hand, he hurriedly held a martial arts expedition to promote available talents among the young generals to fill the front line.

And so many more months passed. Shangguan Li became pregnant again in May of the 14th year of Qianwu, and in June, because she was not young, she had given birth to twins and lost her body, and this child could not be saved. In order to comfort her, the emperor ordered that Emperor Yuanrong be raised in her palace.

Because of the illness of the queen's father, Tuoba Hong was worried about the situation on the front line, but also relieved the Shangguan clan. As long as the Shangguan clan does not have a military general who can fight well, it will not be a big threat. With this ease, his mood towards the queen is more and more different from before, he stays in Changxin Palace for the most days, and even gets up early in the morning to paint thrushes for Shangguan Li.

Subsequently, he simply transferred Shangguan Yue of Liangcheng back to the capital, and sent two overseers to replace Shangguan Yue's commander. A commander who can't go to the battlefield in person is really worthless, so the Shangguan clan is more and more reassuring to the emperor.

Although they have lost the soldiers and horses of the northern Xinjiang, the Shangguan clan is now a great clan that tops the sky. From Shangguan Li to the queen, after four years, the Shangguan clan has accumulated power, and there are many supporters in the court, which is exactly the same as the grand occasion when Prime Minister Zuo's protΓ©gΓ©s were all over the world.
