When Zhou Rui'an first heard this, his face couldn't help but change, he couldn't imagine who would kill a veteran?

Jiang Qingyue said Zhou Rui's question in peace of mind: "Killed? Who would kill him? What is the purpose? ”

Zhou Ruian thought the same way, his heart moved, and a thought flashed in his mind, but in a flash, he didn't care.

"Xiaofuzi, you go and arrange, I will personally visit Dong Guard." Zhou Ruian said in a deep voice.

Dong Cheng is the old minister of King Jin, and Zhou Rui'an can successfully ascend the throne, he is also indispensable, and he has to visit him.

Zhou Ruian hurriedly left the palace, Jiang Qingyue did not go with him, Zhou Ruian wanted Jiang Qingyue to go with him, but Jiang Qingyue refused.

"Now that the situation is unclear, it is not appropriate for me to appear with you, so as not to stimulate those ministers again, and you will be the one who will be embarrassed at that time." Jiang Qingyue said.

Although Dong Cheng's official position was not high during his lifetime, his status was very detached, he fought hard to snatch back the body of King Jin, which already made people respect him, he died, there must have been a lot of officials who went to visit, Jiang Qingyue didn't want to embarrass Zhou Ruian at this time.

Zhou Ruian didn't feel embarrassed, but seeing Jiang Qingyue's insistence, he didn't force it, and he hurried to Dong's house.

Guan Youwei has arrived, and he didn't need to come forward for such a murder, but who made Dong Cheng's identity special? Guan Youwei came over first when he got the news, and when Zhou Ruian arrived, Guan Youwei had already completed the preliminary inspection.

Zhou Ruian saw Guan Youwei and said, "Guan Qing, what did you find?" ”

Guan Youwei thought for a while, and then said: "Back to the emperor, the cause of death of the deceased was death from a knife in the heart, the preliminary judgment should be that an acquaintance committed the crime, and there are no traces of damage to the doors and windows, and the minister also asked the people in the house, there were no visitors to the door on the day of the crime, and the murderer should be a novice, he did not stab the deceased with the first knife, and made up the second knife." ”

Zhou Ruian said in a deep voice: "No matter who it is, it will not be an ordinary person who can easily kill Dong Guard. ”

Who is Dong Cheng? That's the guards around King Jin, who snatched back King Jin's body with his own strength, he really fought on the battlefield, what kind of wind and waves have not been seen? He retreated with his whole body, and the one who could kill him with two knives was definitely not an ordinary person!

Guan Youwei nodded approvingly.

Zhou Ruian said in a deep voice: "Go check!" Be sure to find out who is the murderer! As long as the case is related, no matter how high the official position, you must fully cooperate with the investigation! ”

Guan Youwei immediately came to the spirit: "Yes! The minister will not be dishonored! ”

As soon as Dong Cheng died, there was a lot of discussion in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, no one could imagine who would kill Dong Cheng, Guan Youwei investigated for several days, but did not find any useful clues, not even a suspect.

How to check? Who's going to kill a veteran? And a veteran? There's no reason at all!

However, some people soon discovered that it was not without reason, there was a person who had a very sufficient motive to kill, and she still had the ability.

This person is Jiang Qingyue!

As we all know, Dong Cheng took the lead in opposing Zhou Rui'an and established Jiang Qingyue as the queen, Dong Cheng's identity was transcendent, and even Zhou Ruian avoided his edge, if Dong Cheng insisted, maybe he could really mess up this marriage, and Jiang Qingyue had this ability.

At the beginning, Jiang Qingyue fought against the Tatar warriors with her own strength is still vivid, she used to be the dart master of the Weiyuan Dart Bureau, and her skills were more than enough to kill Dong Cheng.

Regardless of whether there is evidence to prove this speculation, the people who have been following the whole incident feel like they are possessed by a god, and firmly believe that they have found the truth of the matter, and this rumor is getting stronger and stronger.

They suspect that Jiang Qingyue has a more important reason, after all, Jiang Qingyue's mother can disobey women's morals and fornicate with others to have daughters, so Jiang Qingyue is not surprised to kill people for his own selfishness?

No matter what the truth was, after the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty heard this rumor, they seemed to have found some great reason, and they jumped up and down to oppose Jiang Qingyue.

When Liu Min told Zhou Rui'an the news, Zhou Rui'an almost lifted the desk in the imperial study.

The eunuchs and palace maids in the room all knelt on the ground, Zhou Rui'an's face was pale, his eyes were cold, Xiao Fuzi had been serving Zhou Rui'an for so long, even when Jiang Qingyue disappeared last time, Zhou Rui'an didn't get so angry.

Xiaofuzi complained bitterly in his heart, why couldn't these ministers outside stop a little? Let them live in peace for a few days?

"How did the rumors get out?" Zhou Ruian said coldly.

Liu Min said with a solemn expression: "It's just that when a few scholars were talking about things in the restaurant, you guessed every word, but I didn't expect that the more you talked, the more outrageous it became, and it spread like this, and the ministers of the DPRK and China ...... after hearing about it."

Zhou Ruian said angrily: "It seems that these scholars are really too idle!" ”

Because of this incident, Zhou Ruian had an inexplicable dislike for the scholars in the capital, and always felt that these scholars were too idle on weekdays, and they didn't know how to study hard, but it was the school women who passed on some gossip, so that in the second scientific examination, Zhou Rui'an's exam questions were several times more difficult than in previous years, resulting in miserable results in that year's scientific examination.

That's for later.

Liu Min said with a solemn expression: "The most important thing now is these rumors, if the murderer can't be found, even if the person was not killed by Niangniang, Niangniang's reputation is only afraid ......."

Zhou Rui'an's expression froze, "You go to Guan Youwei and ask him to investigate the case as soon as possible!" After a pause, he continued: "This case should be handled in a low-key manner, and it should not be made a big show. ”

Liu Min immediately understood what Zhou Rui'an meant, Zhou Rui'an wanted to deal with this matter in a low-key manner, in order to get Jiang Qingyue out, even if he found a substitute ghost now? It is not too late to settle the case first, and then slowly investigate the murderer, the most important thing now is to reduce the impact of this case on Jiang Qingyue.

Liu Min sighed in his heart, it seemed that for Zhou Rui'an, no matter who he was, Jiang Qingyue was not as important.

Liu Min nodded slightly: "Yes, my subordinates will go!" ”

As soon as Liu Min left, Zhou Ruian frowned and walked back and forth in the room, he also kept thinking about Dong Cheng's case, who wanted to kill Dong Cheng? What is the purpose?

If it is to blame Jiang Qingyue, this circle will inevitably go too far, so what is it for?

Zhou Ruian thought about this matter carefully, Dong Chengdu has always been very low-key, and he rarely shows up in the capital, and he rarely even enters the palace, he has never held a grudge against anyone, and the only time he was in the limelight was this time when he clearly opposed Jiang Qingyue as the queen......

Oppose Jiang Qingyue as the queen?

Zhou Rui'an's expression suddenly froze, and he suddenly thought of what was the thought that flashed in his mind that day!

At that time, his idea was that as soon as Dong Cheng died, the civil and military officials would be leaderless, and no one would be able to stop him from standing up!

Of course, the murderer is not Jiang Qingyue, so could it be some people who care about Jiang Qingyue?

When Zhou Rui'an thought about it, he felt that he seemed to have figured out some of the keys, and then he remembered another thing, why would Dong Cheng oppose him so fiercely to establish Jiang Qingyue as the queen? It is said that Dong Cheng and Jiang Qingyue have never met, let alone have a grudge, why did Dong Cheng get involved in opposing his establishment?

The more Zhou Ruian thought about it, the more he felt that the whole thing was not simple, and it seemed that the matter was still related to the mystery of Qingyue's life experience.

And in this matter, you can only go to one person.

Zhou Ruian went to see the second prince again, and he specially asked the guards guarding the second prince, what is abnormal about the second prince in the past few days, and after getting the guard's answer that everything is normal, he walked in.

The second prince was obviously a little surprised when he saw Zhou Rui'an's arrival.

"I thought the emperor was busy with his wedding, how could he have time to come and see me, a prisoner?" The second prince said teasingly.

Hearing his words, Zhou Rui'an's eyes narrowed: "Qingyue's life experience, do you still have something to hide?" ”

The second prince looked at him in surprise and said, "Why did the emperor say this? What should be said, I have already written it clearly in the fold, and everything is as the emperor wishes, what? Is the emperor dissatisfied again? After a pause, he said helplessly: "How about the emperor give me a script?" I will read according to the script, how about satisfying the emperor? ”

Zhou Ruian sneered: "You think your performance is very good, don't you?" You care so much about Qingyue, but when you open your mouth, you are ridiculing our marriage, when can you really talk about it casually? After a pause, his voice raised: "Because you know, I can't marry her yet!" That's why you say that, just to make fun of me! ”

The expression of the second prince froze, he frowned slightly, and said earnestly: "Your Majesty, as the king of a country, being suspicious is a very fatal shortcoming. ”

Zhou Ruian glanced at him lightly: "Dong Cheng is dead." ”

The second prince looked back at him innocently and said, "What does this have to do with me? The emperor will never say that I killed someone when I was guarded, right? ”

Zhou Ruian squinted his eyes and suddenly glanced at his chest: "You are injured?" The breath of speech is weaker than before. After a pause, he looked at him meaningfully and said, "How did you get hurt when you were guarded here?" ”

The second prince smiled casually: "When will the emperor start seeing a doctor?" After a pause, he continued: "I'm in good health, if you don't kill me, I will live to be seventy or eighty, and maybe I can send you away first!" You say I'm hurt, why don't I untie my clothes and show you? It's just that the emperor has rumors of broken sleeves before, if someone sees you and me disheveled, don't you worry about not being able to explain to Qingyue? ”

Zhou Ruian glanced at him thoughtfully: "In this way, you do have something to hide about Qingyue's life experience." ”

The second prince's expression froze, and finally he said with a little provocation: "If you have any doubts, you can go and check, I am already a dying person, and there is nothing to say." ”

Zhou Ruian stared at him for a while, and finally said lightly: "You can do it yourself." ”

The second prince smiled slightly, but he didn't care, looking at his distant back, but he sighed in his heart, this was the last thing he could do for her.

Zhou Ruian walked out, looked at the guards on both sides, and said coldly: "Go find Liu Min to receive the punishment yourself!" I don't even know if someone is out! It's a bunch of rubbish! ”

The coldness in his tone made the two guards shudder, and they didn't dare to open their mouths to defend themselves, just wondering, when did the second prince go out? How did the emperor know?

After Zhou Rui'an returned to the palace, he sent everyone out and stayed alone in the imperial study for two hours.

After meeting the second prince, Zhou Ruian only determined one thing, the second prince did hide it, and this is likely to be the reason why Dong Cheng opposed him to establish Jiang Qingyue as the queen.

What is the truth? And what are they hiding? This bothered Zhou Rui'an, but he was thinking about another question at this time, was he sure he wanted to find out the truth?

If he really found the answer, it would really be a good thing for him and Qingyue?

Jiang Qingyue finally figured out her life experience, but the affair between Concubine Qing and Jing Zhao made her feel ashamed and embarrassed, is the truth really so important? If the price of finding out the truth is to ruin their current lives, is he really willing?

Zhou Ruian felt confused for the first time, because this matter was related to Jiang Qingyue, and it might even be related to the relationship between the two in the future, he retreated, he didn't dare to gamble on the future of the two people with an uncertain truth.

Jiang Qingyue came, interrupting Zhou Rui'an's musings.

Jiang Qingyue came to say goodbye, Zhou Ruian has been worried about her state in the past few days, so he left her in the palace, but as these rumors became more and more intense, Jiang Qingyue felt that it was not good for him to stay, so he wanted to leave the palace.

Zhou Ruian disagreed: "You just live in the palace, and this will also be your home in the future, I hope you can like this, you are gone, I have become a lonely person again, living alone in such a big palace, don't you feel sorry for me?" ”

Jiang Qingyue couldn't help but smile, he was always like this, worried about the rumors she was unexpected, so he deliberately said such things to reassure her.

"No, I heard that Xiu'er is about to give birth, and I'm a little worried about her, so I want to go back and have a look." Jiang Qingyue said, paused, she said with some worry: "You also know, Xiu'er's health is not very good, I heard that the woman's birth is going through the ghost gate, I am really worried about her." ”

Zhou Rui'an's expression eased a little, he raised his eyebrows, hugged her waist and said, "Then you promise me that I will come back after she gives birth?" ”

Jiang Qingyue smiled at him and nodded.

"By the way, the rumors ......," Jiang Qingyue suddenly remembered.

Zhou Ruian said: "This is what I should deal with, you don't have to worry about it!" I can't protect my own woman anymore? You can rest assured, I will not let anyone stop our wedding. ”

Jiang Qingyue glanced at him with a smile, Zhou Rui'an's face turned pale, and he said confidently: "What? Am I not right? Aren't you my woman?! ”

Jiang Qingyue couldn't help but nod his head: "Yes, yes." ”

Zhou Ruian looked at her smiling face, the uneasiness that was originally floating in his heart gradually dissipated, and at this moment he finally made a decision, no matter what the truth was, whether Jiang Qingyue's life experience was anything hidden, and no matter how fiercely Dong Cheng opposed his marriage with Qingyue, just for the person in front of him, he felt that none of them mattered.

Nothing is more important than her.

Zhou Ruian took her into his arms and had already made a decision in his heart.

Jiang Qingyue soon left the palace.

Jiang Qingyue's departure from the palace was seen as a signal by the ministers, who thought that Zhou Ruian was going to compromise, and even intensified their efforts, asking Zhou Ruian to investigate the matter thoroughly, and some ministers bluntly said that Jiang Qingyue was the murderer.

Under such circumstances, Zhou Rui'an announced to the world in an edict that Jiang Qingyue was the queen he chose, and they would choose a day to get married.

The ministers immediately exploded, and knelt outside the palace gate in a heap hoping that Zhou Rui'an would take back his life, Zhou Rui'an was still unmoved, and there were ministers who knelt and fainted outside the palace gate every day.

Originally, the ministers opposed Jiang Qingyue, indeed because of her background and background, but at this point, it became a duel between the ministers and Zhou Ruian.

The ministers thought that Zhou Rui'an had made a ridiculous and mediocre decision, and if they couldn't convince Zhou Rui'an, then how should they assist Zhou Rui'an in the future? Will Zhou Ruian also become a faint monarch in the future?

In the current situation, both sides are difficult to ride a tiger, which has become related to the harmony of the relationship between the monarch and the minister.

Jiang Qingyue doesn't know these now, she is all about Chen Xiuer's production.

Chen Xiuer's health is not good, there are signs of premature birth, and the family is very nervous.

Soon, it was the day of the birth diagnosed by the imperial doctor, and Chen Xiu'er began to have seizures early in the morning, but fortunately, the whole family was prepared, and Wen Po and the imperial doctor were ready, but even so, everyone was still in a hurry.

Especially Lin Zheyuan, the first time he became a father, the whole person was not good, he was originally so calm and atmospheric, standing outside the door, with a dull expression, muttering in his mouth: "She must be in pain, Xiu'er, I want to accompany her......"

was pushed away by Shen Yanniang in disgust, in fact, Wen Po also disliked Shen Yanniang, Shen Yanniang is a big girl, where will she give birth? It's just that she is extremely self-aware, so she has to follow, and Wen Po is afraid of her force value, so she has to acquiesce.

Chen Xiu'er was in pain for three hours, and finally heard a cry, and it wasn't until she heard this cry that Lin Zheyuan really came to life.

Lin Zheyuan hurriedly rushed in, Jiang Qingyue couldn't help but crack her mouth, showing a smile, she hurriedly followed.

Wen Po hugged the child and greeted her with a happy face: "Congratulations to the master, congratulations to the master, it is a little young master!" Mother and child are safe! ”

Lin Zheyuan breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but show a smile on his face, wanting to reach out to pick up the child, but looking at such a small lump, he was a little timid.

"What are you doing? Hug your son! Shen Yanniang said urgingly: "This is the first baby I delivered!" ”

Lin Zheyuan took the child cautiously, his movements were never softer, and he grinned: "I'm going to show Xiu'er!" ”

Lin Zheyuan carried the child into the inner room, Jiang Qingyue and Shen Yanniang glanced at each other, and couldn't help but smile helplessly.

Shen Yanniang couldn't help but sigh: "Xiu'er is really lucky, I don't know when, I can also have my own children." ”

Children of the rivers and lakes, speaking bluntly, Jiang Qingyue couldn't help but glance at her, and kindly reminded: "Don't recognize the wrong person's gender next time." ”

Shen Yanniang was so angry that she almost whipped her!

Jiang Qingyue touched her nose and felt that a woman's heart was really a needle under the sea, and she didn't know who was chasing after her and shouting Jiang Lang.

"Xiu'er!" Suddenly, Lin Zheyuan's exclamation came from the inner room: "Xiu'er, what's wrong with you?" Don't scare me! ”

Jiang Qingyue and Shen Yanniang hurriedly rushed in, and saw Lin Zheyuan's face pale, Chen Xiu'er's eyes closed and she had fallen into a coma, and the newborn baby was really crying.

The scene was extremely chaotic, but fortunately, Jiang Qingyue was very calm, let the nurse hold the child first, and then asked the doctor to come in.

Originally, Jiang Qingyue thought that it was just a temporary postpartum loss, but after the imperial doctor diagnosed the pulse, he told her with a solemn face that Chen Xiu'er's health was not very good.

"Madame must have been seriously injured before, and then she was fundamentally injured, although she looks no different from ordinary people, but she has already lost money inside," the imperial doctor said with a solemn face: "It's like a big tree, although it looks strong on the outside, but it has been hollowed out on the inside!" This gave birth and disrupted the balance in her body, so she fell into a coma. ”

Lin Zheyuan hurriedly said: "She used to be very sleepy! ”

"Sleeping often means that her body is weak and needs to recuperate by sleeping, and now she is in a coma is actually sleeping, and this production has greatly damaged her vitality, so she uses sleep to regulate her body." The Imperial Physician said.

Lin Zheyuan couldn't help but say, "Then how long will she sleep?" If she keeps sleeping like this, will she ......?"

Will you not be able to sleep?

Jiang Qingyue and Shen Yanniang both looked at the Imperial Doctor with nervous expressions.

The imperial doctor was frightened by Jiang Qingyue's gaze, this person who has the ability to make the emperor stunned, maybe he will still be the queen in the future, he can't afford to offend.

But......

"This, it's not easy to say, maybe when she sleeps enough and recuperates enough, she will wake up, maybe ......" The imperial doctor glanced at Jiang Qingyue and didn't say any more, but the meaning was already very clear.

Lin Zheyuan took several steps back, and finally sat in the chair with a dejected expression.

Everyone's mood was a little heavy, okay, they all thought it was to welcome the birth of a newborn, but they didn't expect Chen Xiuer to fall ill in the end, although the doctor didn't say it clearly, but they already knew that Chen Xiuer was afraid that it would be more than lucky, maybe she would not be able to sleep.

And if a person only sleeps and doesn't eat, how can her body support it?

Jiang Qingyue thought that the newborn child was likely to lose his mother like this, and she felt uncomfortable for a while, she knew too well what it was like to have a child without a mother.

"I knew! I knew that this child should not have been born! Suddenly, Lin Zheyuan said angrily: "If it weren't for this child, Xiu'er wouldn't be like this!" ”

Jiang Qingyue came back to his senses and instinctively retorted, "How can you blame the child? As a mother, Xiu'er is willing to do anything for the sake of her children, don't you say that, aren't you afraid of breaking Xiu'er's heart?! ”

As soon as the words came out, Jiang Qingyue was suddenly stunned, she thought of Concubine Qing.
