Chapter 188: Blessings and Misfortunes
Wang Zhong saw that the emperor was about to go away, so he hurriedly took broken steps to follow the emperor.
After a short time, everyone walked to the side of the three-story small attic that the emperor had repaired for Yong'an.
"Chang'an is a month, and thousands of households pound clothes." The emperor looked at the scene of people going to the empty building, and suddenly said this.
Wang Zhong and Mi'er didn't understand what they meant, so they could only follow the emperor in.
"Where's Xi'er?" The emperor asked.
Wang Zhong replied: "Just resting in the wing, the slave assigned someone to guard her." After all, I just got rescued from the ghost gate, and I'm afraid that the injury will recur. The minion went to see if she was awake. ”
The emperor waved his hand and said, "No hurry. Let's go with me and see where you found her hurt. ”
After that, he glanced at Hazy Er and said, "You can come along." ”
Hazy nodded, still bowing her head and not saying a word, just obediently following behind.
In fact, I don't know how many heavy drafts I have in my heart.
The place where Xi'er was seriously injured was a small study in this small building, on the second floor.
In this half day, everyone was in a panic, and they didn't have time to clean up.
The emperor looked around, and saw that there was a pool of blood on the ground, which had condensed, and it should have been left by Xi'er.
With his hands behind his back, he approached the pool of blood, and then followed the trail to look around it.
To the north of the bloodstain is a wall, all of which are bookshelves made of rosewood, filled with books.
On the south side is a cross-legged bookcase, which is also made of sour rosewood, and there is also a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone on it.
The emperor first approached the bookcase, and found that the direction of its placement seemed to deviate a few inches to the west, and it seemed to be twisted, which was supposed to be caused by the struggle and collision after Xi'er was stabbed.
The pen, ink, paper, and inkstone that were originally carefully placed were also a mess, and there was no order.
If you look closely, it seems that a celadon paperweight is missing.
The paperweight was personally selected by the emperor for Yong'an.
Yongan is a tiger girl, so the preferences for the furnishings on the bookcase are different from those of ordinary boudoir daughters, and she doesn't like those objects that are stained with fat powder.
Therefore, the paperweight is molded into the shape of a coiled dragon.
Although the dragon shape is the most used pattern, in the emperor's heart, he and Yongan have long been indistinguishable from each other.
The emperor's gaze lifted from the bookcase and landed on the bookshelf behind.
Sour rosewood is rare, and the bookshelves on this huge wall are made up of several pieces of wood spliced together, so there is a gap in the middle.
The emperor noticed that there was a gap in the middle that was slightly larger.
His heart tightened, and when he got closer to take a closer look, he saw that the gap was not polished very smoothly, and there were a few filaments hooked.
The emperor looked at Ha'er and said, "Who is taller and who is shorter?" ”
Ha'er said: "Your Majesty, the slave and maid are as tall as Xi'er, and there is little difference. ”
"Okay, come here." The emperor said to her.
Ha'er didn't understand what it meant, and looked at Wang Zhong unconsciously.
Wang Zhong glanced at her and asked her to obey the emperor's orders and go over as soon as possible.
Ha'er had to strengthen her courage and walked over.
The emperor pointed to the gap in the bookshelf and said, "Stand here." ”
After that, he said to Wang Zhong: "Where is the part of Xi'er's knife?" ”
Wang Zhong thought for a while and said, "If you go back to the emperor, the slave remembers that it should be three inches below the left shoulder." ”
At this time, Mi'er had already stood with her back against the bookshelf, and the emperor measured her shoulder, measured down three inches, and sure enough, she arrived at the place where she hooked the silk.
The emperor unconsciously took a step back.
He got it all.
It must have been Xi'er who arranged everything for Yong'an, walked to this bookshelf by herself, tied the handle of the knife with a silk handkerchief, fixed the knife to the bookshelf, and then slammed into it with her back to the tip of the knife, thus creating the illusion that someone had plunged the sharp knife straight into her back from behind.
Sure enough, it was Yongan who led all this......
It was Yongan who stunned him and saved Wen Cang.
At this moment, Yong'an should have lived with Wen Cang......
The emperor suddenly felt that his liver and gallbladder were broken, and his five hearts were burning.
He looked around blankly, and walked to the window not far away.
The window is wide open, and when you look down, you can see the endless blue color.
The vegetation is verdant and layered.
He thought that if he let people rummage through this bush, he would definitely find the silk that bound the murder weapon.
Xi'er didn't want to die, she just wanted to create the illusion that Hazy'er was attacking her.
But she didn't know much about medicine, or she used too much force, which caused the wound to be too deep, too close to the heart, and almost died.
When she was dying, she could only throw a slightly heavy object wrapped in a silk handkerchief that had been tied to the murder weapon and perhaps stained with her blood.
That plate of dragon paperweights is perfect in terms of form and weight.
Now, as long as you send someone to search in the grass and trees downstairs, if you find a coiled paperweight tied with silk, and compare the silk on it with the silk hooked in the gap of the bookshelf, the truth will be clear.
But the emperor's heart seemed to be drained, and he no longer had the strength to order this to be done.
He also knew in his heart that the result was right in front of him, it was just a matter of whether he was willing to admit it or not.
Found it, what about the proof?
It's just sad again, dead again.
"Wang Zhong." The emperor stood for a long time before speaking.
There is weakness, as if the mourning has been extreme.
"Your Majesty, the minions are here." Wang Zhong took a step forward and said in a low voice.
He had already sensed the subtlety of the atmosphere, as if he was afraid that the loud voice would disturb the emperor.
The emperor's gaze was retracted from the faint sky outside the window, turned to look at the people in the room, and said slowly: "Do you remember her name and surname before she became a dead soldier?" ”
She, of course, refers to Hazy.
Wang Zhong said: "Your Majesty, she was born as a beggar, with no name and no surname. ”
The emperor said to her, "Don't you remember it yourself?" ”
Ha'er looked at the emperor and shook her head slightly.
The emperor said: "Give the surname An, be named Zhaoyi, stay here near the water pavilion, and live in Yu Palace after returning to Beijing with me." The eldest princess of Yong'an, her personal maidservant, Xi'er, was sent back to the concubine's mansion. ”
After that, the emperor strode out without looking back.
As soon as these words came out, everyone present was shocked, and Ha'er was completely stunned.
She searched her stomach and thought about confronting Xi'er, why did she leave without confronting the emperor, and she was inexplicably named Zhaoyi?
Now the higher-ranking concubines in the harem are gone, and only a few Jieyu and beauties are left, and their grades are all under Zhaoyi, and they are not in the climate.
Could it be that the emperor not only wants to include Ha'er in the harem, but also wants her to be in charge of the affairs of the harem?
Wang Zhong has always been obedient, and when he saw the emperor going out, he didn't rush to catch up, but said to Ha'er with a blank face: "An Zhaoyi, please." ”
Ha'er said: "Lord Neiguan...... The slave didn't hear me right, did she? ”
Wang Zhong said: "Zhaoyi Niangniang, is this going to torture the slaves? The emperor Chrysostom said that it can be fake? You are now An Zhaoyi by the emperor's side. In the future, in the palace, the servants will still rely on you to take care of it. ”
