Chapter Seventy-Eight: The real murderer who killed Xuan'er has been found
Nangong Yan returned to his dormitory after copying the scriptures, and at this moment he was still in the mourning period of the eldest prince, and it was inconvenient for the two of them to have the same room.
After he left, Yu Qiqi called Zhao Niang to him and asked her with a solemn face, "Do you remember what kind of incense was put in the incense burner on the table when I gave birth?" ”
Nangong Yan's words reminded her of her strangeness when she gave birth to the eldest prince that day, during her pregnancy, not only did she pay great attention to her diet, but even the used charcoal fire, Chu Peiyu would check it very carefully, but only the incense lit in the incense burner, they missed it.
"It's the agarwood that comes up as a tribute in the inner court. Niangniang, is there a problem with that incense? Zhao Niang's face changed immediately, she was well versed in the insidious schemes in the harem, and as soon as she heard Yu Qiqi mention the day of delivery, she thought of this layer.
"I don't dare to conclude that there must be something wrong with the incense, but except for my daily food, clothing, and charcoal fire, there is no problem, only the incense I lit has not been consulted." Yu Qiqi's eyes were sharp, and he fell on the incense burner not far away.
Zhao Niang understood what she meant, and hurriedly asked, "Then, the slave maid went to check?" ”
"Well, don't keep this out of the way." She instructed, she didn't want the eldest prince to be gone, and in the end, she would make the harem chickens and dogs uneasy.
"Yes."
Hurriedly answered, she retreated.
Nangong Yan returned to the dormitory and saw Tang Yiyi, who was waiting outside with the rules, he had heard about the grievances she had suffered in the past few days.
At last, he said quietly, "Come in." ”
Tang Yiyi was stunned, and then replied happily: "Yes." ”
"Do you know why I am indifferent and alienated to you, and I am unwilling to send you out of the palace?" Nangong Yan stretched out her arms and asked her to loosen her clothes for herself.
"But it's because of Sister Midori?"
She asked softly as she carefully untied his brocade robe for him.
"You know her?" Hearing this, Nangong Yan's slender eyebrows raised, and he was a little surprised that she knew about Lu Yin.
"At first, the slave and maid really didn't know, but later, the girl was embarrassed by the slave and maid everywhere, so I heard her say a few words." She rested his brocade robe on the screen, "The slave guesses that Sister Green Yin is the sister that my mother often mentions. ”
She walked back to him and untied his middle coat for him, "It's just that the slave doesn't know why His Royal Highness can't love Yi'er as much as she loves her so much since she loves Sister Luyin so much." She didn't move her hand, still clutching his mid-coat.
Nangong Yan lowered his head, stared at the hands that were no longer white and tender, and then pulled them up with his hands, "I did love Wanniang, but she betrayed me, if it weren't for this, she wouldn't have died tragically in the East Palace." He leaned over and whispered in her ear, "The cup of poisoned wine she drank was poured by me myself." ”
Hearing this, Tang Yiyi's hand was covered with a layer of coldness, and he held it tightly, unable to move, she swallowed the fear in her throat, "But Yi'er will not betray the emperor." ”
"Have you forgotten that it was I who killed your father and brother, and you are willing to live in the palace, I'm afraid that you want to find an opportunity to kill me?"
He snorted coldly and shook her hand.
"No, it's not like this..."She hurriedly denied it, at first she really wanted to kill him, but later, even if she had that opportunity, she couldn't do it, otherwise she would have died no less than a hundred times for her life, she raised her head and stared at him, with tears in her eyes, "Yi'er really likes you." ”
Her love was humble and shameful.
"However, you are different from Wan Niang, at least she will not grovel like you, she is still a little fierce." After humiliating her, he kicked her out.
Tang Yiyi was stunned, as if he understood why he always couldn't get into his eyes, it turned out that such an obedient love would not let him take it to heart at all.
Waiting for him to sleep, she suddenly lost her mind and left his bedchamber.
The chamberlain saw her look of despair, and comforted her, "To be a man, you still have to be content, don't always think about climbing into the master's bed." ”
He stepped forward and took her hand.
She looked sluggish, letting her hands hold on to her equally rough hands, and not taking them back.
Three days later, the Buddhist scriptures were copied, Yu Qiqi and Nangong Yan got Nangong Xuan's tablet together and burned it, and the master of Qingshui Temple chanted the scriptures on the side.
The mourning period of the eldest prince has passed.
In Yanjing in February, it was drizzling everywhere, with cold, Zhao Niang held an umbrella and helped Yu Qiqi to return to Fengluan Palace.
Nangong Yanben went back with her and went to sit with her for a while, but he didn't think that the chamberlain came over, saying that Vice General Liu, who was guarding in Western Chu, had returned to Yanjing City and wanted to return to recover some matters in Western Chu, so he had to give up.
When he arrived at the imperial study, he found that Vice General Liu was already waiting outside, and the distance he was standing at was a little close to Tang Yiyi, and when he looked at it, he knew that he had just finished talking to her.
"Your Majesty."
As soon as Nangong Yan walked in front of him, he bowed and saluted.
"Come in." His face was unwarm.
"The surrendered army of Western Chu has all been organized into the Yanjing army, and the people in the city have also been properly settled, and everything is stable at present."
Vice Admiral Liu knelt on the ground and presented the fold.
"Hmm." Nangong Yan nodded with satisfaction, the battle of Xichu was settled.
He sat on the dragon chair, and after reading the fold in his hand, he found that he was still kneeling underneath, "Anything else?" He asked, looking up.
"Your Majesty, Weichen has something to ask for." After bowing his head, Vice General Liu slowly spoke.
He raised an eyebrow, "What's the matter?" ”
Vice General Liu's hand tightened slightly, "Can you give that eldest princess of Xichu to Weichen?" ”
As soon as these words came out, Nangong Yan's eyes immediately looked outside the imperial study, and what caught his eye was Tang Yiyi's slightly lowered body.
He narrowed his eyes, "At the beginning, but you personally sent people to my side, is it possible, but now you regret it?" ”
If it weren't for him, how could Tang Yiyi easily blend into this palace.
"Weichen knows his mistake!" He immediately bowed down and admitted his mistake, and said tightly: "Since Yi'er can't get into the eyes of the emperor, Weichen begs the emperor to give people to Weichen!" ”
Hearing his words, Nangong Yan felt ridiculous, he put down the fold in his hand, "Would you rather risk losing your official position and ask me to give her to you?" ”
He is the person who pities his official career the most.
"Wechen begs the emperor!"
Sure enough, this time he chose a woman instead of his official position.
"Well, I'll fulfill you." With a slight raise of his eyebrows, he agreed. A smile broke out at the corner of his lips.
"Weichen thanked the emperor!"
Vice General Liu immediately smiled and thanked him.
Tang Yiyi, who was standing outside the imperial study, heard his thanks, his gripping hand tightened violently, and his finger knots were all white.
Out of the imperial study, Vice General Liu led the people away directly.
When the chamberlain saw that the person was gone, he sighed secretly.
Chu Peiyu blinked, watching him lead people away, not quite understanding what Nangong Yan meant.
In the evening, Nangong Yan went to Fengluan Palace, and when Chu Peiyu and Ah Jian were waiting outside, he told her about the daytime by the way, she was stunned, and then raised her eyebrows and said: "It's good to go, otherwise I always feel that I am still in the East Palace, and the shadow of this green chant can't be shaken." ”
After that, she thought about it again, and said unwillingly: "However, it's cheaper for her, and if she is down, she can marry a general with four grades of official residence." ”
Glancing at her unconvinced face, a smile appeared at the corner of Chu Peiyu's mouth.
"What are you laughing at? By the way, do you men like women like her? Ah Jian crossed his waist and turned to him and asked him seriously.
Tang Yiyi is really good-looking, the water is smart and moving, even if he has suffered so much in this palace, he can't hide his good looks.
"I'm not." Chu Peiyu hurriedly denied it, and his expression was very serious.
"You're not?"
A note narrowed his eyes, with a review in his eyes.
"Not really." Chu Peiyu muttered, staring at her for a while, his ears suddenly turned red, and he hurriedly turned his face away.
Seeing his embarrassed look, Ah Jian also burst out laughing, Chu Peiyu didn't pay attention to her anymore, and frowned secretly.
After entering Fengluan Palace, Nangong Yan said about Vice General Liu as soon as he sat down, "I gave Tang Yiyi to Vice General Liu." ”
Yu Qiqi's hand pouring tea for him froze, and then put the tea cup in front of him, "The emperor is not afraid that this Tang Yiyi will make trouble later?" ”
She is the royal family of Xichu, and she has always been a disaster, she doesn't believe that Nangong Yan can't imagine this layer.
"Vice General Liu likes it, and he guards Xichu for me, if I don't give people to him, it will really cause trouble." Nangong Yan took a sip of the tea she brewed and said unhurriedly.
"Are you afraid that he will hold a grudge and raise an army to rebel in the future?" Yu Qiqi thought about it before asking him.
Nangong Yan's eyes lit up and praised her, "Smart." Then he continued: "Xichu has just settled down, and I don't want anything to happen at this critical juncture. ”
Yu Qiqi can understand this, but when she gave Tang Yiyi to Deputy General Liu, she always felt that this was not Nangong Yan's real purpose, but she couldn't say what his real purpose was.
"Your skills in making tea are really getting better and better." In the blink of an eye, he had finished his drink.
His words pulled Yu Qiqi back from his chaotic thoughts, answered him, and added him another cup of tea.
"The matter of agarwood, can you have eyebrows?" At the end, Nangong Yan opened her mouth to ask her. He knew that Yu Qiqi would definitely investigate this matter in private.
"Not yet, Zhao Niang is still investigating." She shook her head.
It has been a few months since this incident, and the people of the Inner Court Division have also changed several times, and it will inevitably take a lot of effort to check it out.
"Well, if you need my help, just ask." He reached out and took her hand into his palm. There was a warm feeling on the back of her hand, and she nodded.
For a moment, Nangong Yan's eyes sank.
At night, it rained again, and there was a cool breeze outside the palace gate, mixed with drizzle, and it was very difficult for people to walk on the palace road.
"Your Majesty, do you want to rest here?"
Yu Qiqi frowned and took the initiative to ask him. If he goes back now, even if someone is holding an umbrella, he will be wet in the rain.
"Then why don't you come over and take care of me." Nangong Yan stared at her and took out the tone she had in the East Palace before.
"Got it."
Yu Qiqi also replied to him in the previous tone.
Zhao Niang smiled and withdrew.
......
Tang Yiyi returned to Xichu with Vice General Liu, and as soon as she entered the imperial city, she lifted the curtain and looked at the people coming and going on the street, the tip of her nose was sour, but the eyes of those people looking at her had changed, and they had completely lost their previous respect, only disdain.
She swallowed the bitterness in her throat and laid the curtain down to hide the light from her eyes.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Seeing the injury on her face, Vice General Liu rubbed her hands. She put away the hatred in her eyes and smiled at him.
On the first day of returning to Xichu, they became relatives, and Nangong Yan gave them a brocade, which was a gift for their newlywed Yan'er.
Tang Yiyi tore off the brocade and cut it with scissors.
Outside the door, there was a knock on the door of Vice General Liu, she wiped away the anger on her face, and asked the maid to clean up the brocade fragments on the ground before letting her open the door.
The maidservant quietly took the pieces and withdrew.
Vice Admiral Liu drank some wine, his eyebrows and eyes were slightly drunk, and he didn't see the clue, so he stepped forward to uncover her red hijab, leaned over and pressed her down on the red bed.
The red candle swayed, swaying in Tang Yiyi's eyes, looking at the people on her body concentrating on begging for pleasure, she clenched the dagger under the pillow, and then thought about it, the dagger was pushed forward by her a little, she groaned, and then asked shyly: "Husband, the talisman in your hand can be put away, Yi'er heard that there are still traitors in this Western Chu City, if this talisman is confiscated and stolen, it will be bad." ”
Vice General Liu gasped and replied to her vaguely, "Don't worry, this talisman is carried by the husband every day, how can it be easily stolen?!" ”
"Then Yi'er is relieved." She whispered, clinging to his broad shoulders.
When his hand was about to touch the dagger under the pillow again, he grabbed his wrist, "Don't worry, madam, my husband will definitely treat you well." When I sent you to the emperor, I blamed me for having no eyes. He leaned into her ear and said these affectionate words.
Tang Yiyi snorted coldly in his heart, but with a smile on his face, "Now that I can get away from the emperor's side, Yi'er will be satisfied." ”
Afraid that he would find out, she had to take out the hand that had been put under the pillow.
All night, she didn't find a chance to do it. Secretly gritting her teeth, she could only wait for the opportunity slowly.
Vice General Liu really treated her well, and when he saw her delicate hands being destroyed like that in the Yanjing Palace, he personally applied plasters for her and fed her personally.
The people in the house knew that he doted on her, although there was a look of envy in his eyes, but he was embarrassed in his heart, as the eldest princess of Xichu, he was willing to fall to such an end, and he was shameless.
Hearing those rumors, she didn't hold back as she did in the Yanjing Palace, and called the family to catch those who chewed the root of their tongues, slapped them in the face one by one, and didn't stop until they couldn't speak.
"If Mrs. Ben still hears these rumors in the house, it will be your tongue that will suffer next time." She spoke unhurriedly, with no anger on her face, but there was a chill in her words.
The slaves who knelt on the ground immediately nodded violently, not daring to make another attempt.
This accident reached Yu Qiqi's ears, and she narrowed her eyes, "Sure enough, when people go to a high position, this momentum has changed." ”
Thinking about the sufferings she suffered in the palace at the beginning, she just swallowed her anger, how could she frown.
"So the slave said that she was cheaper!" Ah Jian was on the side, and said indignantly.
Yu Qiqi's face sank, "It's too early to say it's cheap." ”
Ah Jian immediately furrowed his brows, "What does the princess mean?" ”
She dared to be sure that Tang Yiyi's methods were not only these, and the good show was still to come, but she still didn't quite understand why Nangong Yan would let go.
At this time, Zhao Niang walked in from the outside, "Niangniang, the matter of the inner court is clear." The attention of the master and servant immediately turned to her.
"The slave and maid interrogated many people, and then they interrogated that the eunuch who put agarwood on the day of Niangniang's birth was Xiao Shunzi, and the human slave and maid had already brought it and were waiting outside." Zhao Niang said in a deep voice.
Yu Qiqi immediately raised his eyebrows, "Bring him in." ”
"Yes."
Zhao Niang came out and led people in.
"Queen Mother Gui'an." Xiao Shunzi knelt on the ground, the person was very thin and weak, and he didn't dare to raise his head.
"Zhao is here, I have something to ask you, what this palace asked today, if you dare to say half a sentence, this palace will definitely not spare you."
Before questioning, she got off the horse.
"Yes."
Xiao Shunzi's eyebrows narrowed, and her body knelt lower.
Yu Qiqi's sharp eyes stared at him, "This palace asks you, on the day when the eldest prince was born in this palace, you put the agarwood in the incense burner?" ”
"It was put by a minion."
Xiao Shunzi immediately replied to her, her voice weak.
She asked, "Where did you get that incense?" Can you still find it in the Inner Court? ”
"That incense is taken by the slave from the Inner Court Division according to the custom, and Gonggong Zhang, who is in charge of the Inner Court Division, personally took it, if you want to take it in the Inner Court Division, you must first ask Gonggong Zhang." He replied truthfully.
"Okay, you go back first, and come back at this hour tomorrow." Yu Qiqi narrowed his eyes and asked him to retreat.
Xiao Shunzi agreed, bowed to her, and withdrew with his head bowed.
"Why is this father-in-law's body so thin?" Ah Jian's expression also sank, she had never seen such a thin eunuch in this palace for so long.
"Xu was bullied by the people in the palace." Yu Qiqi also sensed that something was wrong. After that, she looked at Zhao Niang, "Zhao Niang, you go to the Inner Court Division, go to the Inner Court Division, find that Gonggong Zhang, and ask him to bring you the incense I produced there." ”
"The slave knows." Zhao Niang also walked out immediately.
She lowered her head, took a sip of tea, her eyes were slightly heavy, and then her eyes lit up, and she hurriedly said to Ah Jian: "That little shunzi just now, you follow him, protect him secretly, don't let him have an accident!" ”
Ah Jian's face tightened, and he hurriedly replied, "Yes, princess." ”
If it weren't for the fact that Ah Jian mentioned Xiao Shunzi's thin body just now, maybe Yu Qiqi wouldn't have thought of this layer so quickly.
Zhao Niang found the Inner Court Division, but the people from the Inner Court Division said that Gonggong Zhang was not there and went out to do errands. She stared at the little eunuch in front of her and asked, "When will he come back?" ”
"This, the slave doesn't know. Sometimes my father-in-law went out to buy things, and he would come back in three or five days. The little eunuch trembled back.
"Well, I'll be waiting for him here." Zhao Niang's eyes swept away, and she simply sat down on a bench in the inner court.
"Auntie..."
The little eunuch screamed in embarrassment, but Zhao Niang ignored him.
In the evening, Grandpa Zhang came back, followed by a few little eunuchs, all holding items in their hands, looking like they were going to buy things.
"Ah, why is my aunt here?" Zhao Niang is the person next to Yu Qiqi, so she has to pay tribute to her father-in-law.
"Grandpa Zhang, you can make me wait." Zhao Niang said with a smile.
"I don't know you'll be here today." Grandpa Zhang was apologetic.
Zhao Niang glanced at the few little eunuchs who were still standing behind him, he immediately understood what she meant, and said to the few little eunuchs behind him: "Put the things away, and then retreat." ”
"Yes."
The little eunuchs walked in with their things in their arms, and after putting them away, they all retreated.
He bowed slightly, "Auntie, please speak." ”
"The queen mother has the agarwood used during the time when she was pregnant, do you still have it in the inner court? Give me some, these days I changed the incense for the mother she is always not satisfied, the mouth of the mouth is still pregnant with the agarwood used in the period of pregnancy, so she sent me over to ask. ”
Afraid that he would notice that something was wrong, Zhao Niang made up an excuse.
"Otherwise, I'll go and get it to my aunt." Zhang Gonggong understood at the moment, raised his feet and walked to the counter.
Zhao Niang turned her head, watched him open the drawer and take it out, and took several things to Zhao Niang, "These are the agarwood used for Niangniang when she was pregnant, and it has the effect of calming the mind." He said methodically.
"That's good, there's Father-in-law Lao Zhang."
She took it in her hand and said politely to him.
"Auntie walks slowly." Grandpa Zhang bent down and sent her away.
Zhao Niang took those agarwoods to Yu Qiqi and let her smell them one by one, and after smelling them, Yu Qiqi twisted her eyebrows, "It smells the same." "She couldn't tell the line.
"Don't worry, Niangniang, wait for that little shunzi to come over tomorrow and smell it, and you will know which one is the day Niangniang gave birth."
Zhao Niang comforted her.
"Hmm."
She nodded slightly.
Late at night, Ah Jian hurriedly ran into the inner hall, when Yu Qiqi had just rested, she got up slightly and asked her, "What's going on?" ”
"The princess was right, sure enough, someone wanted to kill that little Shunzi, but the slave was afraid that this matter would be too loud, so she didn't chase after the other party, presumably when Xiao Shunzi came over tomorrow, this matter would come to light." She stared at the light and gasped slightly.
Yu Qiqi understood, held the futon tightly, lay back on the bed and instructed her, "Okay, you take care of him first." Also, inform the guards guarding the palace gate that they can't let anyone out. ”
"Yes!"
After the report, Ah Jian ran out again.
On the second day, Xiao Shunzi was taken to Fengluan Palace by Ah Jian, and it was obvious that he was frightened last night, and his body was still trembling slightly.
"Would you like to tell the man who wants to kill you?" Yu Qiqi's face showed a trace of concern.
Xiao Shunzi knelt tremblingly, but he didn't want to reveal half of the sentence.
"Well, it's okay if you don't want to say it. After a while, I will decide whether to say or not, you can smell these agarwood, and see which one was lit on the day of production in this palace. She raised her eyes and asked Zhao Niang to bring the agarwood to him.
"Yes."
He whispered. After a long time, the agarwood was all smelled, but he shook his head, "Among these agarwoods, there are no slaves who lit them on the day of delivery." ”
Yu Qiqi's eyes sank, and he looked at Ah Jian, "You go and bring Gonggong Zhang over and call General Chu!" ”
"Yes!"
Ajian ran out.
Then, her slightly dull eyes fell on Xiao Shunzi, "The person who wants to kill you is Gonggong Zhang, right?" ”
"Niangniang spare your life, don't treat Father-in-law Zhang's crimes, otherwise, he will definitely not let go of the little one!" Xiao Shunzi kowtowed to her.
As soon as Yu Qiqi saw it, he knew that he had suffered a lot from Gonggong Zhang, and Zhao Niang's face showed a trace of distress, and she said: "You don't have to be afraid, there is the queen mother who will make the decision for you." ”
"Although the palace rarely cares about the affairs of the harem, in this harem, it is not his turn to be in charge of the inner court." Yu Qiqi said calmly, and his words were full of majesty.
Xiao Shunzi hesitated for a moment, and then slowly lifted his sleeves, which were covered with scars, some burns, and some bruises that did not go all year round, and Yu Qiqi and Zhao Niang's hearts were tight.
He said slowly: "On the days when Niangniang was about to give birth, Gonggong Zhang gave us a pack of agarwood to a few little eunuchs and asked us to light it in Niangniang's incense burner, and what the slaves got was exactly the day Niangniang gave birth. Gonggong Zhang said that if he dared to reveal half a sentence about agarwood, he would not let the minions walk out of the palace gate alive. ”
"Who else got the agarwood from him?" Yu Qiqi's eyes were full of anger.
"There are also Xiao Dezi, Xiao Liuzi, and Xiao Linzi." Xiao Shunzi wiped a handful of tears and replied to her with a trembling voice.
Yu Qiqi retracted his eyes, clenched the brocade with both hands, and ordered: "Zhao Niang, take Xiao Shunzi down first, find a few guards from General Chu to protect him, and the little eunuchs he mentioned just now will also send people to protect them." ”
"The slave obeys."
Zhao Niang took Xiao Shunzi down.
She sat on the mahogany brocade bench, and at this moment, she was waiting for Ah Jian and Chu Peiyu to bring Grandpa Zhang over.
Afraid that something would happen to Gonggong Zhang's side, Ah Jian went to him first, Chu Peiyu, she called someone to call him and asked him to take someone to guard outside the Inner Court.
When Ah Jian got there, the little eunuch there still told her that Grandpa Zhang had gone out to buy goods and was not in the Inner Court.
She hid a smile from her eyebrows, and went directly to the palace gate, and when she went out, she happened to meet Chu Peiyu with someone coming over, "People are at the palace gate!" ”
Ah Jian hurriedly said to him, and immediately ran forward, Yu Qiqi ordered to block the palace gate, thinking that he must not have been able to go out last night, and today he found a reason to go out to buy goods, and wanted to take the opportunity to escape from the palace.
Chu Peiyu responded and walked behind her.
When he went to the palace gate, he saw that Gonggong Zhang was blocked there, and the guards said that they didn't want to let him out.
"Father-in-law Zhang, don't waste your efforts."
Ah Jian shouted at him, his face was fierce.
"Miss Ajian came just in time, the slave is just going out of the palace to buy some items, have you ever wondered why the queen wants to block the palace gate?" He turned around, looking unaware.
"You can go to the queen's mother and ask about this." Ah Jian smiled back at him, and there was no hint of coercion on his face.
"But the minion still has a position on his body." He said embarrassedly.
"Grandpa Zhang, please."
Chu Peiyu stepped forward directly and interrupted the little Jiujiu in his heart.
"Okay, good, minions, I'll go with you." Seeing that he couldn't escape, he had no choice but to accept it.
Bringing people to Fengluan Palace, Chu Peiyu led people to guard outside the door.
Ah Jian brought Gonggong Zhang to Yu Qiqi, and as soon as he saw her, he knelt down and greeted her, "Queen Mother Gui'an." ”
Yu Qiqi didn't show him a face, but said slowly, "Father-in-law Zhang, you can't do anything well." ”
"The slave doesn't know what the mother means? If the slave has something that is not in place, please also ask the mother to correct and punish severely. He bowed his head.
After that, Zhao Niang threw the agarwood he gave yesterday in front of him, Yu Qiqi stared at him, and said quietly: "Among these agarwood, there is no incense that the palace lit on the day when the prince produced it, which is where the father-in-law is not effective." ”
"The agarwood used during the time when Niangniang was pregnant is indeed in it, and the slave thinks that he has not missed it."
Grandpa Zhang replied in an orderly manner, and there was no trace of panic on his face.
"Do you really think that Hongu is so easy to fool?" Since Yu Qiqi moved into the palace, she really hasn't paid much attention to the affairs of the harem, and those people in the harem, even if they are slaves, must not take her very seriously.
"The minions don't dare."
At this time, he buried his head low.
"Since you don't dare, then you can't recruit it from the truth!" She reprimanded sharply.
"What the slave said is true, even if the mother asks Tianming, what the slave says is all the truth." He gritted his teeth, reluctant to say anything.
"Okay, Zhao Niang will go and bring Xiao Shunzi, Xiao Dezi, Xiao Liuzi, and Xiao Linzi over." She could see that he didn't cry when he didn't see the coffin.
The next moment, Father-in-law Zhang's face immediately changed, but he still gritted his teeth and held on.
Soon, the little eunuchs were brought to Yu Qiqi by Zhao Niang, and they knelt in front of her in turn.
"Say the things that Grandpa Zhang told you to do in front of him one by one." Yu Qiqi said unhurriedly.
"Yes."
The little eunuchs immediately accepted it.
Starting from Xiao Shunzi, they spread out the things that Father-in-law Zhang told them to do one by one in front of him, and also listed the crimes of violence he committed one by one.
When Gonggong Zhang heard the back, his face had completely changed.
Yu Qiqi raised his eyebrows, "The words are clear, but the father-in-law still has a hard mouth?" ”
He immediately kowtowed and said, "The servants did instruct them to put agarwood on the queen's mother, but those agarwoods were taken out from the Inner Court Division, and they didn't do anything. And the slaves violently inflicted violence on them, all because they made mistakes in the palace, and it was by no means as they said. ”
"Father-in-law, this palace advises you to say it earlier, in this palace, this palace can also cover it for you, so that you can reduce your crimes, if it gets to the emperor, the emperor's means are much more powerful than with this palace, and you have ten lives that are not enough to compensate."
The threat in Yu Qiqi's words was very obvious, and Gonggong Zhang's back was already soaked in cold sweat.
But he only kept his head down, and was not coerced by her.
"That's okay, it seems that my father-in-law is really toasting and not eating and drinking, Ah Jian, go and talk to General Chu, let him tell the emperor that the real murderer who killed Xuan'er has been found, and let him come over to ask for the guilt."
She withdrew her eyes and said to Ajian.
"Yes!" Ah Jian replied, and was about to withdraw.
"Wait a minute, the minion said, the minion said!" In an instant, he changed his tune.
"Speak quickly!"
Yu Qiqi shouted.
Gonggong Zhang's body shook for a moment, and then he said: "The agarwood that they ordered them to put for Niangniang was all given to the slave by the five princes of Nanzhao, and he gave the slave five thousand taels of silver tickets, and the slave added those agarwood to the incense burner of Niangniang, and he had to conceal it so that no one could detect it."
The servants found a few little eunuchs and added the agarwood given by the five princes to the agarwood assigned to Niangniang by the Inner Court Division, and asked them to take turns to add the incense burner to Niangniang. It's all to blame the slave for being greedy for money for a while, so he harmed the life of the eldest prince, please spare your life, please spare your life! ”
He said with a crying tone and knocked his head hard.
But Yu Qiqi leaned back suddenly, her face was surprised, her heart fluctuated violently, she couldn't have imagined that Yu Zhengyan's arrival would harm her child.
"Really?" She gritted her teeth and glared at Grandpa Zhang, who kept kowtowing on the ground.
What the slave said was true, and he would never dare to deceive, he only told the slave that the agarwood was lit to the mother to stabilize his mind and have a good baby, but he was not good at talking to the mother, so he told the slave to do it. It was only after the death of the eldest prince that the minions noticed that something was wrong with the agarwood..."He explained in a panic.
"Get out!"
Yu Qiqi scolded, and the guards on the side hurriedly stepped forward and dragged away Gonggong Zhang, who had a bloody mark on his forehead.
Ah Jian's face also changed, and his brows frowned tightly, "Princess, the fifth prince is your own brother, how could he do such a thing, could it be that Father-in-law Zhang who fooled us?" Even she didn't believe it.
"Whether it's true or not, I'll personally ask the fifth brother about this matter!" She clenched her fists tightly, her words full of anger.
was forced to ask about this, although she didn't want to believe that this matter was related to Yu Zhengyan, but she dared to be sure that Zhang Gonggong would not dare to deceive again.
As soon as Nangong Yan got the news, he rushed to Fengluan Palace, Yu Qiqi leaned on the soft pillow, his hair hung on his shoulders, and his expression was gloomy.
"Don't worry, since this matter has been interrogated, I will make the decision for our children." Nangong Yan sat down in front of her and took her hand resting on the brocade quilt into her palm.
Yu Qiqi's eyes moved, and he looked at him, "Your Majesty, the concubine wants to ask the fifth brother for clarification on this matter." She wanted to ask him personally why he wanted to harm her child.
"If you really want to ask yourself, and you don't want me to interfere, then I will listen to you. It's just, do you want me to accompany you back to Nanzhao? ”
Seeing her like this, he was very distressed and took her into his arms.
She shook her head, "Since you ascended the throne, you have left the palace twice, this time, the concubine can go back by herself, and you can stay in the palace to deal with the government affairs." ”
Nangong Yan sighed, "Xuan'er is also my child, if you have any difficulties in Nanzhao, you have to send someone to tell me, and I will rush over." ”
"Hmm."
She nodded with tears in her eyes.
Throughout the night, Nangong Yan was by her side, and at night, she was awakened several times by nightmares, Nangong Yan hurriedly escorted her into her arms and comforted her softly, "It's okay, I'm here." ”
Hearing his voice, Yu Qiqi's violently beating heartbeat slowly stabilized, she snuggled tightly into his arms, and her hand was tightly gripping his hand.
When the sky was slightly light, the chamberlain walked in and reminded him outside the tent, "Your Majesty, it's time to get up." ”
He glanced down at Yu Qiqi, who was snuggled tightly in his arms, and replied softly, "Today's early dynasty is not up first, inform the ministers." ”
The waiter narrowed his eyes and answered, "Yes." He stepped back lightly.
The civil and military officials who rushed to the palace heard the news that he was not going to the court, and they all looked at each other, but this was only the first time that Nangong Yan did not go to the early court, and they didn't say much, and after chatting a few words, they dispersed one by one.
Only the chamberlain knew that their emperor was still in Fengluan Palace and the queen was warm.
I didn't sleep well at night, Yu Qiqi didn't open her eyes until the third pole of the day, and when she saw the person sleeping beside her, she rubbed her eyes and found that Nangong Yan was staring at herself, she hurriedly sat up, "Your Majesty, why are you still here?" ”
Glancing outside, it was already dawn, and she turned her head to look at him again, "You don't go to the court?" ”
"Today's early dynasty, I have pushed it away." He replied to her slowly, his deep eyes still staring at her motionlessly, as if admiring her anxious look.
"Pushed off?"
Yu Qiqi was stunned.
"You're holding me so tightly, how do I get up?" He smiled, his eyebrows covered with softness.
As soon as he said this, Yu Qiqi remembered what he had done last night, and he really grabbed Nangong Yan and didn't let go.
She lowered her eyes, "It's the concubine's fault." ”
Nangong Yan didn't care at all, only stroked her face, "Tell me, what did you dream about?" In the curtain, there were two hazy figures, and he stared at her with his head down.
The concubine dreamed that Xuan'er took the concubine's hand and asked the concubine to accompany him to the terrace to catch fireflies, he said that he heard the little eunuch around him say that every night, there were many fireflies flying on the terrace, he had not seen it, but he didn't dare to go alone, so he asked the concubine to accompany him. He also said that when the fireflies were caught, they would all be the queen mother, so that the queen mother could also see the light emitted by the fireflies. ”
The concubine followed him and walked with him to the terrace, his little body jumped slowly on the terrace, and he caught two of them, and put them in the hands of the concubine, but as soon as he put them down, the fireflies flew away, he screamed softly, and his little face showed anger, but he still patiently told the concubine that when he caught it again, he asked the concubine to put her hands away, so that the fireflies could not run away. The concubine smiled and nodded, but he grabbed it, and the person was gone..."
As she said these words, a happy smile spread across her face, but when she got to the back, cold tears slid down her cheeks.
Nangong Yan's heart touched, and a touch of pain spread in the bottom of his heart, spreading all over his body.
He reached out and gently wiped the tears from her face.
"Xuan'er is blessed to have a queen mother like you." He took her into his arms and patted her gently on the back.
Leaning on his shoulder, Yu Qiqi's mood slowly stabilized.
After a while, she raised her head and asked him, "Your Majesty, do you remember that you promised to make a wish to your concubine?" ”
His eyes were filled with tenderness, "Remember." ”
She twitched the tip of her nose, stared at those eyes, and said very seriously: "Then you promise the concubine, when the concubine has our child in the future, you will accompany him with the concubine and go to the terrace to catch fireflies." ”
Nangong Yan was stabbed sharply on the tip of her heart, and then she hooked the corners of her lips and promised her, "Okay." ”
