Chapter 46: Yuan Rong (1)
After returning to Yuzhao Palace, Lin Yuan ordered someone to open Qi Ronghua's box. >
Naturally, Imperial Doctor Wu was present. At that moment, she and the palace people held their breath until Imperial Doctor Wu confirmed that there was no poison in it.
It was a familiar aroma. Lin Yuan has been pampered for many years, and has been using Jialan rouge to even out his face, but the one in front of him is indeed as Qi Ronghua said, and the products of Xia Kingdom are not quite the same in peacetime.
The color is orange, and the aroma is more quiet and cold.
I have to say that this thing is better than Xia Guojialan, even in modern times, skin care products with a quiet breath are always higher grade than those that smell greasy.
At the beginning of the snow, several people were knowledgeable, and they gathered around to see the strangeness. Chu Tao said: "What is Qi Ronghua's little master's thoughts, sending such a valuable thing to Niangniang?" She also gave a gift last time, but can't she see that the mother doesn't want to have a deep friendship with her? I still don't let go of the ground to meet him. ”
"Yes, why ......" Lin Yuan didn't think that Qi Ronghua was stupid, and he couldn't force what he couldn't get, this was a truth that the concubines in the palace understood.
Why didn't she understand? Baba went to Yuronghua's Wanchun Palace, and sent rouge again.
The rouge given by Qi Ronghua was shelved by Lin Yuan. Just because you know there's no poison doesn't mean it's not a trap.
She still uses the rouge of the previous Xia Kingdom, and she often feels unhappy in her heart. This is no better than not knowing, Xia Guo's Jialan is not as good as Siam, as a proud woman, she wants to have the best things when she sees them, and the second class is not to look down on anything.
A few days later, it seemed to be calm before the storm came, and everyone in the harem was fine. On the 25th of February, the Shunzhen Gate was opened, and the show girl was led into the palace by the eunuch.
On the first day of the primary election, the emperor and queen will not show up, and even high-ranking palace concubines like Lin Yuan are too lazy to act.
The primary election is only run by the Ministry of Rites and the Sixth Bureau of the Harem, and for those show girls who are noble-born or have entered the emperor and queen early, they don't have the courage to do anything at all. Although there are many selection and elimination people in this first level, they are all insignificant.
Lin Yuan and Zhao Zhaoyi went to the "Chaohua Hall" together to inspect the decoration regulations of each dormitory, and these rooms will be requisitioned tonight for those beautiful girls who have passed the primary election to live.
As expected, at noon, the people below came to Lin Yuan to report that there was a show girl who was accidentally broken by her grandmother when she was checking in the dark room.
When a show girl enters the palace, in addition to seeing her physical appearance and whether she has any diseases, she also has to check her virginity.
It was said that Mama accidentally broke that place...... This is really an inevitable accident, this unlucky show girl can only be repatriated to her hometown after being broken, and her future marriage is also very difficult.
Lin Yuan didn't even move her brows when she heard this, and asked lightly, "Which show girl is it?" ”
"It was Jinling who sentenced the Liu family."
Sure enough, it was a small portal.
Lin Yuan waved his hand and said, "For this little thing, there is no need to go back to the emperor and the queen." According to the system, the cane killed the careless grandmother, and then rewarded Liu Xiunu with 300 gold and sent her back to Jinling. ”
The palace people retired. However, at the same time as he stepped out of the palace gate, another palace maid hurriedly trotted in and said, "Yu Zhaoyuan Niangniang, the young lady of the Wei family in Yizhou...... Miss Wei, committed suicide......"
Lin Yuan stood up, his fingers trembling slightly: "Which Webster?" ”
"The daughter of General Runan of Yizhou......" The palace maid also knew that the situation was serious, and her face was full of flowers: "It's Concubine Jing's sister!" ”
"Take Hongu over." Lin Yuan took her skirt and helped the first snow, and ordered someone to prepare quickly.
Chaohuatang is located on the west side of the Middle Palace, and is very close to the Jiaotai Palace, Jinluan Palace, and Jianzhang Palace. This place occupies a large area, there are many houses, and there are no people living in Suri, just waiting for the draft to be requisitioned.
The royal family is extravagant everywhere, and the huge Chaohuatang is only used once in a few years.
Although Lin Yuan was in a hurry, she found that Zhao Zhaoyi and Empress Shangguan were there. She hurried down to a room surrounded by a crowd not far away, and her heart became heavier and heavier: the young daughter of the Wei family was really dead.
Concubine Jing's stability shocked everyone, and Lin Yuan really hoped that Empress Shangguan would prevent Miss Wei from entering the palace, so as to provoke Concubine Jing and make her have to take action. But things were very unexpected to her, Miss Wei entered the palace and died in the palace.
Lin Yuan didn't have time to think about it, so she quickly stepped forward to see the queen and Zhao Zhaoyi, and when she looked inside, she saw Concubine Jing lying on the bookcase in the house crying. There were a lot of people around, but they were all blocked by the palace people next to the queen, and there was no corpse in the room, so I was afraid that it would have been carried down a long time ago.
Chaohua Hall is the first place to live in after the primary election, it is already noon, and it is not surprising that Wei's status has passed the primary election early, and it is not surprising that he was led to Chaohua Hall by the palace grandmother.
In this room, there is an ordinary side hall layout, and you can see the hall at a glance. No one dared to set foot in the dead man's house, only Concubine Jing, who sat next to her and cried for her as if no one was attentive.
Empress Shangguan was very angry, and ordered someone to tie up all the palace people who had seen Wei's in Chaohua Hall, and there were screams begging for mercy around her. Zhao Zhaoyi stood aside with a sad face, and Concubine Jing inside hid her face and sobbed, and pearl-like tears flowed from her smooth and beautiful cheeks, which turned out to be a pitiful beauty.
Lin Yuan knew that she couldn't interject, and she didn't dare to move, so she stood aside and acted as the queen's foil. Shangguan Li has been angry for a long time, and he used the cane to punish the palace people involved, tossing for a long time but without results. At this time, when Lin Yuan came, she didn't have any thoughts, pointed to Liu Cheng, the chief eunuch of Chaohua Hall, and asked, "How do you all serve Miss Wei!" is a good noblewoman, but she committed suicide inexplicably when she entered the Beijing draft! ”
Liu Cheng had already been frightened stupidly, and he was hesitant, but a show girl next to him knelt down and said: "The courtiers came to Chaohuatang with Miss Wei, and Miss Wei picked a house with the courtiers an hour ago." There are begonias planted in front of this side hall, which is a good omen, so Miss Wei chose it. Miss Wei didn't like the palace people tampering with her clothes, so she retired the palace maids who served her and went into the house to tidy up by herself...... However, in just half an hour, the news of Miss Wei's self-hanging death came. ”
Empress Shangguan's eyes also narrowed. She glanced at the other party nonchalantly, and asked gently, "Are you the daughter of the prefect?" ”
Shangguan Li has done her homework on the draft, and she has carefully read the portraits of all the show girls, so she naturally remembers them. Dow bowed his head and said yes.
"So Tao Xiunu is the last person to see Wei Xiunu?"
Dow did not hesitate and said yes again.
There was a cold gasp all around.
Lin Yuan saw clearly that this Tao was unlucky enough to be innocently implicated. But looking at her, she looks like a bold person, and instead of waiting to be found out, it is better to admit it herself.
"In that case, let's send Tao Xiunu and these minions to the Punishment Division for detention first." The queen waved her hand and commanded. A grandmother beside the queen stepped forward and pulled Tao and said, "This is the rule in the palace, the little master involves human life, so he will be temporarily detained in the Punishment Division." There is no need to worry, if you are innocent, you will be released soon. Miss Wei died very strangely, and she had to be wronged by the little master. ”
Tao Xiunu and a group of palace people were all escorted down, but Lin Yuan was stunned when she heard this-Shangguan Li's henchman and grandmother said that Wei died strangely?
Concubine Jing's low whimper came into her ears, and Lin Yuan remembered the death of the Qian family in the eleventh year of Qianwu.
After the Qian family hanged herself, Concubine Jing was pointed out by Wanfu, and she couldn't argue.
Now it is Concubine Jing's sister-in-law who is dead, but the queen is not afraid.
Who killed Miss Wei? Is it a repetition of the old tricks, or is the queen ruthless?
The queen wanted to turn away. However, at this moment, the people of the first palace hurriedly rushed to the queen and shouted: "Master queen, something happened...... Emperor Yuan Rong of Changle Palace is seriously ill! ”
Shangguan Li was startled, and he didn't care about Miss Wei's death, so he immediately led a group of people to Changle Palace.
Emperor Yuanrong was the only child left by Empress Xiao, and after Xiao died, she was temporarily held in Changle Palace to raise.
The identity of the emperor made the concubines and courtiers ignore her existence. No matter how outstanding an emperor is, she will not participate in the competition for the throne.
Shangguan Li has never paid attention to this baby girl. She has fought with Empress Xiao all her life, and after Empress Xiao's death, Yuan Rong has no value in Shangguan Li's eyes, and she will not risk doing anything that should not be done in order to vent her evil anger.
However, as a queen, it is her duty to take care of Yuan Rong. If something happened to Yuanrong......
As soon as Shangguan Lifu entered the Changle Palace, he saw the palace people and medical women running around, and the solemn and solemn Changle Palace was in chaos at this time. Cold sweat gradually oozed from her palms, and she entered the apse where Emperor Ji lived, suppressed her panic and said, "Emperor Ji ...... What's wrong with Deji! What about the Queen Mother, why don't you see the Queen Mother......"
A group of medical women gathered in the warm pavilion in the inner room, everyone looked panicked, the queen asked this, only then did a grandmother come forward and kneel down: "The emperor's high fever does not go away, it is very dangerous!" The Queen Mother went out of the palace early this morning to Mingjue Temple to incense, and there were already attendants in the palace who quickly whipped the letter and sent the letter, but no matter how fast it was, it would take two or three hours to rush back! ”
This grandmother is the palace maid on duty in Changle Palace, and her name is Ying. She never thought that Emperor Yuanrong would have an accident when the Queen Mother left the palace, and the Queen Mother's personal palace maids Zhiyun and Zhijing also left the palace with the Queen Mother. She was just talking to the palace people in Changle Palace, and now she was going to set up a huge shelf to instruct those medical women palace people to rob the emperor, and she was already exhausted at this time.
Seeing the queen, she hurriedly asked the queen to preside over the overall situation as if she was catching a savior. Shangguan Li's face was strong and calm, but her heart was actually very bottomless, she lifted the curtain to visit Yuan Rong in the inner room, and asked Zhiying: "When did Emperor Ji become ill?" Why do I have a high fever? Since the Queen Mother is not here, what about the Emperor? ”
"Your Majesty, the emperor is receiving the Goryeo envoy ......" Zhiying knew that Yuanrong was ill urgently, and her heart was anxious and frightened, hiding her face and crying bitterly: "The slave doesn't dare to disturb it......"
