Chapter 14: Zhang's (2)
Before Imperial Doctor Wu finished speaking, Zhang Liangyuan, who was relieved, broke out again with a miserable scream. She rolled on the ground and grabbed the emperor's sleeve, and said in horror: "The emperor helps!" Concubines...... The concubine didn't want to die...... and hurriedly went to arrest Imperial Doctor Wu: "Lord Wu, what's wrong with me?" You say I've been dyed with this incense for more than four months? I...... I ......"
For a while, it was again on the back of the horse. The emperor lifted Zhang Liangyuan up with one hand, and his face was very ugly. Imperial Doctor Wu was also frightened on his face, and he was caught by Zhang Liangyuan and couldn't get out, so he had to swallow and say: "The little master of Liangyuan has been inhaling this incense for a long time...... The key to this 'child and mother calamity' is not the amount of use, but the time. After more than four months, Weichen estimated that if he didn't touch a little bit of this incense from now on, the little master of Liangyuan would not have to worry about his life, but he was afraid that he would have a difficult birth when he gave birth......"
Zhang Liangyuan burst into tears.
The emperor said: "Although the 'son and mother robbery' does not hurt the fetus, although the imperial heir is heavy, Zhang Liangyuan is also a royal concubine. Murdering concubines is not allowed by palace rules! I will investigate this matter strictly and give Zhang Liangyuan an explanation. ”
"Since Zhang Liangyuan is inhaled every day, I am afraid that this 'son and mother robbery' is brought by her." Lin Yuan, who had been silent for a long time, spoke again. She covered her handkerchief and coughed a few times: "Zhang Liangyuan, you can check your personal belongings." ”
Zhang Liangyuan felt that it was reasonable, and hurriedly took off all the jewelry sachets and asked Imperial Doctor Wu to visit. Imperial Doctor Wu picked them up one by one, put them on the tip of his nose and smelled them, and then handed them to his colleagues, and everyone picked up the scattered ornaments together. They looked very carefully, but in the end there was no result, Imperial Doctor Wu frowned and said, "Wei Chen can't see anything, this thing ...... I'm afraid that the hiding is too deep, and the breath is so weak that it is almost inaudible, and the ministers are incompetent. ”
Zhang Liangyuan is eager to ask for help, if she can't find the source today, it means that she will still carry the 'son and mother robbery' without knowing it in the future, and the end will be a dead word. She bit her lip, and finally had an idea, reached out and grabbed all the ornaments and threw them to the ground, smashing them one by one.
At this moment, among the smashed fragments of one of the lotus jade beads, an unusual dark trace suddenly appeared. The medic immediately leaned down to pick it up, only to see that all the jade beads on the bracelet were empty in the middle, and a little brown powder was stuffed inside. In terms of workmanship, the jadeite is hollowed out and stuffed with foreign objects, and there is no trace of brokenness, and it is deliberately tightened in the threading place to ensure that the powder will not be exposed, which is a ingenious practice.
The medical officers brought the tea, melted the powder little by little, put it on the tip of their noses and sniffed it, and even tasted a little in their mouths. After tossing like this for a quarter of an hour, Imperial Doctor Wu finally said: "Your Majesty, you can't make a mistake, it's the 'son and mother robbery'." The spice is too tightly hidden, and the jadeite beads are exquisitely made, and there is no difference in color at all. The dosage is also too subtle enough to hurt the body, but it is impossible for even those who specialize in medicine to smell it. ”
Zhang Liangyuan was crying and his face was full of fear. She couldn't imagine that such a terrible thing would be worn by herself day and night without a sound.
"This is really vicious!" Zhao Zhaoyi Huo Ran got up, took Zhang Liangyuan's hand and comforted: "Poor, if it weren't for the coincidence that you found out that you have a 'child and mother tribulation' in your body today, you wouldn't have to wear this jade until you are in labor!" Concubine Shu and Qi Ronghua, they are your benefactors. ”
Zhang Liangyuan choked, clamoring for the emperor to call the shots for her, and angrily pulled out the two palace maids who served behind her, took a bronze mirror and hit her head and face: "You all cleaned up the ornaments of my daily life!" Say, which one is deadly, and I have clamped my jade beads to the core? It's a dowry I brought in from home, and apart from me, only the two of you can touch a finger, and one of you must have done a good deed! ”
The bronze mirror was already sinking, Zhang Liangyuan made a dead hand, and the two palace maids were quickly beaten to the point that their heads were bleeding, and they cried miserably. Tuoba Hong on the side didn't look like words, so he stopped: "That's enough." Let the Sentencing Division interrogate them. ”
Because he did not hurt the imperial heir, the emperor was not angry, and he did not want to spend too much energy to investigate. Zhao Zhaoyi, who was on the side, hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, such a vicious palace maid must not be left." The concubine assisted the queen in the palace, and when such a thing happened in the harem, the concubine was duty-bound, and the concubine thought that it would be better to find out as soon as possible. ”
The emperor himself didn't want to trouble, and seeing that she was willing to contribute, he nodded in agreement. Zhao Zhaoyi changed her previous gentleness, stretched out her hand and commanded: "Drag these two things out and beat them, if you don't say it, you will be killed." Then they took their roster in the Shang Palace Bureau, went to find their families outside the palace, tied them up and sent them to the prison of the Criminal Department, and finally if they could not find out, they were all executed for murdering the imperial concubine. ”
This time, Zhao Zhaoyi made a ruthless move. The two palace maids struggled to drag it down, and when they reached the threshold, one of them couldn't hold on, and opened his mouth and said: "Niangniang spare her life, I say, I say it all!" It's Concubine Jing who instructed me to do this......"
So the two were dragged back again. The palace maid's face was covered with blood, and her whole body trembled like chaff, shouting that it was Concubine Jing's instructions.
Concubine Jing, who had been silent on the side, finally couldn't hold back, and she hurriedly knelt in front of the emperor and shouted wronged. Zhao Zhaoyi believed that she was the person in charge of the palace, and ignored Concubine Jing, who was higher than herself, and only asked the palace maid lightly: "You honestly spared the lives of your family." What is your name? How did Concubine Jing buy you? And what method did you use to move Liangyuan's hand? ”
"Slave maid...... The slave maid is called Lan Sui......" She threw herself down in front of Zhao Zhaoyi: "At the beginning, Concubine Jing rewarded the slave and maid with a thousand taels of gold, and took the slave's grandmother to Wei Mansion, and the slave and maid were worried about their grandmother, so they had to obey Concubine Jing's words. In fact, the slave didn't know what Concubine Jing was going to do, and if she knew, she would never dare to ...... Don't dare to do such a life-threatening thing......"
"Okay, this palace only asks you how Concubine Jing explained to you." Zhao Zhaoyi said, Yibi took out two palace cards from his sleeve and handed them to the inner prisoners beside him, one ordered the officials of the Criminal Department to be invited, and the other asked people to go to the Shanggong Bureau to check the records to see which palace people had recently used the two things of Hzywood and passionflower.
"Concubine Jing...... Niangniang just asked the slave to replace the master's jade handpiece, as for what to do, the slave didn't know. Concubine Jing took a string that was exactly the same as this hand, and the slave maid secretly changed it according to the order, and a few days later, Concubine Jing took the original string back and asked the slave and maid to exchange it back. The master didn't inspect these small things much, and he didn't find them in the few days he stole them. ”
Zhao Zhaoyi listened and nodded: "It's reasonable." He turned his head to look at the emperor again: "Your Majesty, what do you think?" Concubine Jing changed Liangyuan's handpiece, took out the palace and asked a skilled craftsman to stuff something in it, and changed it back a few days later, and finally Liangyuan was unaware. ”
"Zhao, you are spewing blood!" Before the emperor could speak, Concubine Jing's eyes were already red. However, she has been sick and weak for a long time, and after arguing a few words, her blood surged, and she stroked her chest and fell down again. The emperor glanced at her and said, "Concubine Jing, I think what Zhaoyi said is very reasonable. ”
Concubine Jing was speechless for a while, and she was stunned with trembling all over. The nine-tailed phoenix hairpin on her bun and the Dongzhu hanging down all trembled with the shaking of her body.
"But...... But it's just a little palace maid, she slanders the palace! After a while, Concubine Jing gritted her teeth and said, "Zhao Zhaoyi, do you dare to slander the concubine position just based on the identification of a little palace maid?" You have to be careful, you are just a partial concubine of the second rank Zhaoyi, and this palace is a concubine of the first grade, if it is found out afterwards that what you said is wrong, a demote and a disposed of the title will not be able to run. Oh yes, Zhao Zhaoyi, you must have a grudge against the palace because of the marriage of Emperor Changning back then, and specially instructed the palace maid Lan Sui to frame the palace......"
It's okay not to mention Changning, but to mention it is to stab Zhao Zhaoyi's hornet's nest. She suddenly changed color, stood up and knelt in front of the emperor and said: "Concubine Jing assassinated Changning back then, and the concubine has been gently let go, and she will not be held accountable, but Niangniang still dares to talk about this matter today!" Concubine Jing, you are not vicious for a day or two, you were ruthless to Changning back then, and it is even more handy to kill Liangyuan today! The concubine will definitely find out the truth this time, and she will not wronged you, and she will never let you reveal it like that again. ”
Concubine Jing looked at Zhao Zhaoyi's mediocre but angry face, and sneered disdainfully: "Zhaoyi is really confident, what do you think your so-called truth is?" Hongu is waiting to see. When the emperor finds out that you instructed the palace maid to frame the palace, you have to think carefully about your fate......"
"Shut up!" The emperor finally couldn't stand it, and pointed at them and said, "You are a Jing concubine and a Zhaoyi, what kind of system do you have to kneel and quarrel!" If there is anything, we will wait for the criminal department to find out! At this time, the officials of the Criminal Department had already trotted in, and the inner eunuch next to Zhao Zhaoyi handed over the jade beads with powder to them in front of the emperor, along with the pulse case of the imperial doctor's diagnosis.
The head of the criminal department Shangshu will give the results within half a month according to the law.
"Why should Concubine Jing be so aggressive." Lin Yuan snuggled on the rose gilt pillow, glanced at Concubine Jing obliquely, and her voice was extremely weak and calm: "You said that Zhaoyi is inferior to you, so what about this palace?" The palace is not dead yet, and some people don't take the palace in their eyes anymore, and act majestic in front of the emperor and the palace. ”
Concubine Jing's face froze for a moment. After a while, she bowed down to Lin Yuan tremblingly and said, "Concubine Niangniang...... The concubine didn't dare. ”
