Thinking that Pei Shufen might be hiding in the Marquis of Ningyuan's mansion, Liu Menghan frowned and thought hard.

She has too many secrets of herself, and it is impossible to report to the official and let others search the Marquis of Ningyuan's mansion.

But others can't search it, and she can't search it herself?!

Thinking of this, Liu Menghan ordered someone to go to Shuntian Mansion to report the "death" of his son Chu Huayu, but did not report to the official as she thought before.

Besides, Liu Menghan also has capable people under him, and she has already brought the letter out. After a few days, when that person came, he would be able to know the true cause of Chu Huayu's death. — See how and what is poisoned!

Ning Yuanhou Chuhua heard in the outer courtyard that Liu Menghan had just reported "death", and pursed his lips disdainfully, but his thoughts slowly turned to the situation when his father, Ning Yuanhou, came back from the palace and died of a violent illness.

At that time, he was really stupid, how could he believe the diagnosis of the imperial doctor, saying that his father, Ningyuan Hou Chu Bozan, had a serious stroke and cerebral hemorrhage caused by too much drinking, and he did not receive timely treatment before he died violently. °

This disease is not uncommon among older people. Moreover, his father, Marquis Ning Yuan, has been in the army for many years, and he is indeed a bold person who eats meat and drinks a lot, so it is not surprising that he has this disease.

Chu Huajin brought the booklet given to him by Liu Menghan this time, and sent it to the southwest, and came into contact with some people left by the old Ning Yuanhou, only to find out that his father actually died strangely.

At that time, there was a deeply hidden dead soldier by the side of the old Ning Yuanhou, and after the death of the old Ning Yuanhou, he immediately left the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion and came to the southwest to live in seclusion.

When Chu Huajin came to the southwest for the first time to do a mission, this person found that Chu Huajin had a lot of spies from the saints and Tiqi around him, so he did not show up.

It wasn't until Chu Huajin came to the southwest for the second time, he was much more cautious than before, there were no spies around him, and he intended to contact the old people before, that this person stood up and told Chu Huajin a very strange thing.

It turned out that the old marquis was very wary of Emperor Hongxuan, and that day in the palace... The old marquis did not drink a drop of alcohol, and he did not eat anything, so it is impossible for him to die of stroke and cerebral hemorrhage caused by excessive drinking............

Thinking of this, Chu Huajin sat in the study room in the outer courtyard and smiled... remembered his original wife Pei Shufan. If she knew that his father, Lao Ning Yuanhou, had actually died unexpectedly and was killed by the saint, what would she think? Will he be indignant because he missaw the saint, so he will stand on their side, and no longer think about resigning and returning to the army?

Chu Huajin still remembers that on the day his father died, he himself was drunk... Unconsciousness. It was his wife Pei Shufan who was the first to find out that something was wrong with Lao Ning Yuanhou, and went to call someone to come over and knock the door of the inner room open, only to find that Lao Ning Yuanhou had been dead for several hours, and even his body was cold......

When Chu Huajin heard the news, he ran over from his yard, only to see Pei Shufan with red eyes and lead the imperial doctor out of the house, and said to him sadly: "...... Hou Ye mourned, and the old Hou Ye went to ......"

The past is vivid... Liu Menghan, who is now invincible, is also like his father, who has fallen in love with Emperor Hongxuan.

Chu Huajin held a black jade paperweight and slowly played with it... Thinking about the words of those dead soldiers: Liu Menghan should still have extremely important things left by the old marquis..................

Chu Huajin always thought that the most important and trusted person of his father, Ning Yuanhou, was his original partner Pei Shufan. Now it seems that the weight of the weapon is the weight of the weapon, and the trust may not be, and it is just a chess piece in his hand.

Chu Huajin wanted to see Pei Shufan's face very much, if this woman knew that she was just being used by the old Marquis Ning Yuanhou to do her best for their Chu family and die, would her face still be as motionless as a mountain and as indifferent as a well!

Pity... She also died.

Chu Huajin sighed deeply, and locked the roster he had copied in his hand to the secret compartment of the multi-treasure shelf in the study.

Liu Menghan gave him the roster, he didn't dare to touch it directly, but wrapped his hands in a silk handkerchief, turned the pages one by one, and copied a copy himself before he dared to use it.

Later, he threw the handkerchief into the fish tank in the outer study... The next day, I found that all the koi in the fish tank were turned over, and their white bellies were floating on the water.

What a vicious woman!

Fortunately, he was prepared. Ever since he knew that he had unknowingly been poisoned by Tripterygium Ide, he had become extremely cautious.

After locking the list of transcriptions, Chu Hua returned to the Zhonglan Courtyard in the inner courtyard and fell asleep.

The next day, Liu Menghan came to Chu Huajin's Zhonglan Courtyard, dressed in plain clothes, and discussed Chu Huayu's funeral with him.

Chu Hua was happy to be a favor, and said to Liu Menghan: "Aunt Liu can do whatever she wants, as long as she doesn't violate the rules." ”

Chu Huayu is already a registered son-in-law, and the specifications of the funeral are still one level higher than that of the concubine. It's just that he died before he married, and he can't do it big.

Liu Menghan didn't actually come to discuss the funeral, she came to say hello to Chu Huajin and wanted to search the yard.

Of course, Chu Huajin disagreed, and said to Liu Menghan with a sinking face: "Aunt Liu has always been a person from the mountains and wilderness, and it doesn't matter if you don't understand the rules. I only let Aunt Liu know that the most taboo in this family is to copy from your own family. - Aunt Liu's request is absolutely impossible. ”

Liu Menghan begged for a long time, but Chu Hua didn't let go.

Liu Menghan had no choice but to tell the truth: "I heard that Aunt Fen escaped from the edict prison before Master Hou, and some people in the mansion said that they saw Aunt Fen in the mansion in a trance. - Master Hou must know that Aunt Fen is a Qin criminal, if she is really hiding in our mansion, it is a big crime to harbor Qin criminals. Can Master Hou afford it?! He also hinted that Pei Shufen might take advantage of people's inattention, and gave Chu Huayu a move in Chu Huayu's heart, and said in a deep voice: "Aunt Liu can really think about it." Aunt Fen is a person who escaped from the imperial prison and has no money on her, where can she get these medicines to poison your son? - As for whether she's in the house or not, you don't care.

I am the head of the family in this house, and I will naturally bear the burden of things. ”

Liu Menghan had no choice but to go back to Cining Courtyard in a huff. Fortunately, the capable person she asked people to find yesterday had disguised himself as a monk who was chanting in front of Chu Huayu's spirit and entered the Huifang Pavilion of the Marquis of Ningyuan's Mansion.

At this time, Chu Huayu's funeral had not yet been officially organized, and there was no one to keep vigil in front of his spirit at night. The man took the opportunity to open the coffin and check the cause of Chu Huayu's death.

Liu Menghan told him in advance about Chu Huayu's bits and pieces before he died, especially that he began to have stomach pain, as if he had been poisoned, and the symptoms were exactly the same as the dove poison in their hands that smelled blood and sealed their throats, so she gave Chu Huayu the antidote to dove poison. Who knew that as soon as Chu Huayu ate it, he would die completely.

The man examined Chu Huayu's body for a long time, and then took a blood sample with a silver needle... also secretly opened Chu Huayu's stomach with a knife to check the situation of internal organs. Then sew it carefully and put on his longevity coat again. — From the outside, you can't see it.

Liu Menghan waited until it was almost dawn... I waited until the man came and spoke.

"Did you find out?" Liu Menghan asked anxiously.

The man nodded, sighed again, and said to Liu Menghan: "Madam, judging from the small, we have met a big rival." "I still use the name of Liu Menghan outside.

Liu Menghan didn't know why, and asked the man: "I want to hear it in detail." ”

The man showed Liu Menghan the evidence in his hand: "Madam, what kind of poison did you get... Don't just look at the symptoms, but look at the evidence. Madame, please see, if the young master is really poisoned by the dove, his internal organs will turn black. But if you look here, it's not black, it's blue. ”

Liu Menghan saw the evidence in the man's hand, and his eyes widened: "You.................. You.................. Where did you get such a thing? ”

The man smiled and said, "Madam... If you want to know the real cause of the young master's death, I'm just trying to solve the mystery for the lady. - As for where you got these things, people are dead... Is it important? ”

Liu Menghan's face turned pale, and his lips were closed for a long time before he said with a crying voice: "Okay, how did my son die?" ”

The man looked at Liu Menghan and said, "I'm going to say it, don't be too sad, madam." It's just that the other party is too treacherous, it's not Madame's fault......"

Liu Menghan's heart sank more and more, watching the man's lips open and close, and said to her word by word: "Young master, I was poisoned by Madame's antidote." ”

Liu Menghan's most fearful conjecture was confirmed... I couldn't withstand such a blow anymore, rolled my eyes, and fainted.

The mother-in-law who was waiting beside Liu Menghan hurriedly came over to support Liu Menghan.

The man had already realized that their every move was under the supervision of others, and he didn't dare to stay in the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion anymore, so he handed over the things in his hand to Liu Menghan's personal mother-in-law... He told the woman what he had checked, and he left the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion overnight, found his family, and left the capital with him, and disappeared since. This is not to be mentioned later.

Liu Menghan woke up leisurely the next day, with a blank face, and listened to the mother-in-law next to him whisper about the person's discovery.

It turned out that Chu Huayu probably ate something mixed with bitter ginseng and chicken blood vine at the beginning, so the abdominal pain was like strangulation, and there was even vomiting blood, which was actually stomach bleeding. Judging from the external symptoms, it is very similar to dove poison. However, these two things will not kill people, but will only suffer some flesh and skin.

However, in the antidote to dove poison, there is a medicine that seriously conflicts with chicken blood vine, and if you eat it, it will immediately become a poison that breaks the intestines, which is similar to the dove poison and seals the throat with blood.

Liu Menghan was stunned when he heard this, and asked his henchman-in-law: "Do you know that this mother-in-law lowered her head in shame and said, "When I used to learn from the master, I seemed to have heard the master mention it, but I didn't care about it, I just felt that setting up such a bureau was a superfluous move..................

Liu Menghan was furious when he heard this, raised his hand and slapped the woman, and said, "You are saying that I am stupid!" ”

The woman hurriedly knelt down and said, "The slave doesn't dare." It's just that the slave maid also reminded the aunt that there seems to be a big expert in poison in the palace. Now it seems that not only do they make good use of poison, but they also calculate people's hearts, and there is no mistake or omission. Aunt Tai should be careful! ”

These words poured cold water on Liu Menghan's feverish mind.

Yes, this game doesn't sound very clever, but counting people's hearts into it can be called a last resort.

First of all, the man knew that Liu Menghan had dove poison in her hand, and speculated that there would be an antidote if she was poisonous.

Secondly, that person knew that Liu Menghan would not hesitate to believe that it was dove poison when he saw Chu Huayu's symptoms, and he could give his son an antidote to dove poison without delay.

In that moment of concern and chaos, who would have thought that the antidote to saving people's lives would actually turn into a poison that kills people?!

It turned out that he personally sent his son to his death.

It turns out that he has been smart all his life, and after all, he has fallen into the way of others!

Liu Menghan thought of the pumpkin glutinous rice balls that Chu Huayu ate in the palace, and remembered that he had ordered someone to kill the prince, and he was terrified: Could it be that someone in the palace already knew that the five princes died in their own hands!

The more Liu Menghan thought about it, the more panicked he became.

In the past, Liu Menghan always felt that she was a cloud-turning hand hidden in the dark, even if she walked to the front of the stage and entered the mansion of the Marquis of Ningyuan, no one knew how many people left by the old marquis in her hands, and no one guessed that she, a seemingly helpless and lowly outer room, had the strongest capital... You can compete with those on the table!

So she dared to make waves in the Marquis of Ningyuan's mansion, she dared to send all the people who stood in her way into the Yellow Spring one by one, and even dared to put her hands in the palace to manipulate the life and death of the prince and concubine!

But now she discovers... He is like a clown, thinking that he is hiding in the shadows and no one notices, but in fact, he has already been on the stage and has been observed and scrutinized by countless pairs of eyes..................

She was puzzled, she didn't know where she had stubble, and she was exposed.

She doesn't have to think about it anymore... Who can manipulate people's hearts, and let her kill her own child with her own hands!

Is it the same Hongxuan Emperor who also has the pain of losing his son and vows to avenge his prince......

Liu Menghan was even more flustered in his heart, and he didn't dare to think about it anymore. If it is really Emperor Hongxuan, then she will do everything possible to send her daughter into the palace, wouldn't she send a sheep into the tiger's mouth?

What to do? What to do? What to do?

Liu Menghan regretted it for the first time, he shouldn't have coveted the banquet. Came to the capital.

Now my son is gone... My daughter should be in danger, she has been planning for so long, and she has so many lives on her hands... What is it for?

Liu Wanhan shuddered when she thought of Emperor Hongxuan's method of letting her unknowingly send her son into Huangquan with her own hands.

How can she fight such a person?

Does she want to avenge her son? Or take your daughter out?

Liu Menghan was at a loss, and couldn't sleep for several nights.

As a result, within a few days, Liu Menghan found that she didn't have to stay up anymore, and news came from the palace, saying that her daughter Chu Guiren Chu Huazhu had her daughter tuberculosis and moved to the cold palace.

Emperor Hongxuan sat in the Heart Cultivation Palace, looking at the list of lists presented by the secret guard, and breathed a sigh of relief.

The old man in the palace, Ning Yuanhou, is finally clear and clean.

If it weren't for Chu Huazhu being lured to the palace as bait... These people who are hidden in the palace will not be exposed so quickly.

He waited until all of them surfaced before he stepped in to avenge his son.

Now it seems that this group of people, Old Ning Yuanhou, was really left for himself, his outer room and his children. His own wives and children on the surface are all puppets in front of Emperor Hongxuan.

Whether it is the wife, son, or daughter of the old Marquis Ning Yuan... Even his grandson and granddaughter did not know that the head of the family they respected the most not only kept them in the dark, but also used them thoroughly.

In a sense, Emperor Hongxuan, who was still the abolished prince at that time, was actually on the same front as the daughter and grandson of the old Marquis Ning Yuan.

Emperor Hongxuan also knew very well that the old Marquis Ning Yuanhou wanted to rebel, and it was definitely not to seek the throne for his grandson. As long as the old Ning Yuanhou has the opportunity to kill Emperor Hongxuan, the three sons of Emperor Hongxuan, that is, the three grandsons of the old Ning Yuanhou, are just puppets in his hands. When the time comes, these children will either "give in" or die of various "diseases" to make room for their grandfathers.

Thinking about it carefully, the old Ning Yuanhou is really a grandson who has no blood and family affection at all, and Emperor Hongxuan also knows that if the old Ning Yuanhou's strategy is successful, then all the bloodlines of his Fan royal family will only be dead, and even if these children are the grandsons of the old Ning Yuanhou, it is impossible to live. If the old Marquis Ning Yuan's strategy is not successful, and he is dragged down, the princes who are his grandsons will probably be unable to escape death in the eyes of ordinary people.

Thinking about these children, the benefits of Lao Ning Yuanhou's rebellion were not tasted at all, but the bitter fruits of the rebellion were swallowed by them.

Is there still a record in the history books that my grandfather took the position of his grandson? How could he push the wolf ambition of Old Ning Yuanhou onto his son?

Thinking of this, Emperor Hongxuan let out a long sigh. - disappointed the old Marquis Ning Yuan, he Emperor Hongxuan was not so confused to the point of not knowing right from wrong.

Do you really think that others are fools, willing to do their best for him, die, and be used by him to make wedding clothes for him?

Emperor Hongxuan smiled coldly.

In this world, no matter who you are, whether you are smart or not, the most important thing is not to take others for fools.

Thinking about it, he has also been in this position for twelve or thirteen years, and it is only now that the power of the old Ning Yuanhou has been almost defeated. Although the time was long, Emperor Hongxuan did not regret reducing the turmoil to the whole country to a minimum.

Now only the list of the last group of dead soldiers left by the old Marquis Ning Yuan... Seems to have a clue too.

Emperor Hongxuan thought about it, ordered someone to call the second prince in, and carefully inquired about Chu Huajin's situation in the southwest.

The second prince has long known what his father's intention is to let him go to the southwest... He also dealt with officials at all levels in the southwest.

Listening to his father's question, the second prince told him what he had said before, and he said it again.

Emperor Hongxuan listened silently, compared it with the previous times, and the front and back were all right, so he asked: "According to you, Ning Yuanhou went to the southwest to release... Is it really to hide from his stepwife? ”

The second prince said hesitantly: "Father, the son thinks that it is not very similar." ”

overturned Emperor Hongxuan's previous views.

Emperor Hongxuan glanced at the second prince and asked him to speak clearly.

The second prince said his thoughts.

When he heard Chu Huajin's various behaviors in the southwest, which was very different from the situation in which he swallowed his anger in the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion and was tortured by Zeng Ting, Emperor Hongxuan also understood and nodded... said: "You have a point, it was my father's negligence." After a pause, he lowered his head again... looked at the list on the table and said, "It seems that he can't be let go back to the southwest." ”

After the second prince retired, Emperor Hongxuan drafted an edict overnight, removed Chu Huajin's post of southwest general soldier, and gave him an idle post in the capital.

Chu Huajin was very surprised when he received this decree in the mansion of the Marquis of Ningyuan, and he didn't know why Emperor Hongxuan suddenly changed his mind again, and he regretted that he didn't rush back to the southwest in time.

Liu Menghan knew that Chu Huajin's position as the general army in the southwest had also been removed, so he understood that Emperor Hongxuan was really going to attack them. Now her son is gone... The daughter has "daughter's tuberculosis", and she probably won't live long. The son and daughter are gone, what's the point of her still alive?

But Liu Menghan was unwilling to die in vain, so that the high dog emperor was satisfied.

Even if she doesn't live, she can't make that emperor feel better!

After Chu Huayu's May Seven, the funeral was over... Liu Menghan finally made up his mind, called Chu Huajin to his Cining Courtyard, withdrew everyone, and said a word to him.

Chu Huajin was dumbfounded when he heard this, and he almost jumped up in shock.

Although he knew some of the past events of his father, the old Marquis Ning Yuan, he thought that his father was just trying to protect himself under the imperial power.

It turned out that he was wrong, his father's ambition of Lao Ning Yuanhou turned out to be much higher than self-preservation, I don't know how much higher Lao Ning Yuanhou's true intentions, even back then, only a few people knew that Liu Menghan happened to be one of them.

At that time, many of the dead soldiers of the old Ning Yuanhou only thought that many of the old Ning Yuanhou's followers were to help the abolished prince reinstate, and to prevent the "cunning rabbit dies and the lackey cooks" after the abolition of the prince is reinstated. And all this, because of the sudden death of the old Ning Yuanhou, made the various preparations of the old Ning Yuanhou not be able to be carried out in time, just on the bright side, to fulfill his image of a "loyal minister".

Liu Menghan looked at Chu Hua's stunned appearance, and said with tears: "Master Hou, don't believe it. The concubine remembered very well that the old marquis said to the concubine that the Chinese New Year's Eve of the second year of Hongxuan was the day when the old marquis was going to do it. For that day, the old marquis even kept the real jade seal for the day when the big thing could be accomplished. - Who knew that the old marquis did not live that day. With that, Liu Menghan took out the jade seal from the bottom of his makeup box.

Chu Huajin's mind was chaotic. Over the years, all he wanted to do was to ensure that one of the three princes born by his sister ascended the throne, and he never thought that he had ever passed by the throne. He subconsciously felt that what Liu Menghan said was a lie, but when he saw the jade seal, he was a little uncertain.

Taking the jade seal from Liu Menghan's hand, Chu Hua carefully looked at it over and over, but he couldn't see the clue, and couldn't help but ask Liu Menghan: "How do you prove that this jade seal is real and not fake?" ”

Liu Meng smiled coldly: "Compare it with the fake in the palace, and Master Hou will know the truth and fake." ”

Chu Hua put the jade seal on his sleeves, got up and said, "This matter is very important, and I have to check it again." ”

Liu Menghan nodded and said, "Master Hou be careful." If this thing is seen by others, our entire Ningyuan Marquis Mansion, including the Chu family, will be wiped out. ”

Chu Hua nodded absentmindedly, and returned to Zhonglan Courtyard with the jade seal, and studied alone under the lamp for a long time late at night, but he couldn't get the point.

That night, Pei Shufen happened to secretly come out of Langjing Cave and came to Zhonglan Courtyard to visit his son. Seeing that in the inner room of Zhonglan Courtyard, the lamp was lit in the middle of the night, and he was curious for a while, so he dodged from Langjing Cave Heaven to hide in the clean room of the inner room of Zhonglan Courtyard, and peeked at what Chu Hua was doing Chu Hua was thinking about for most of the night, so he had to hide the jade seal and go to bed to rest.

Pei Shufen waited for Chu Huajin to fall asleep before he came out of the clean room, stole the book Chu Huajin had read again just now, and the things he had hidden, and took them to Langjin Cave.

The word is a big chapter, and the two are more in one, including adding more for the leader of the alliance. There was no change in the afternoon. Tomorrow will begin to add more to the alliance leader from the hall master to the alliance leader.
