Chapter 68 Murder by Accident
"Qiu Hongzhi and Concubine Bian coincidentally murdered Qiu Jinzhu?" Qiu Yulan has a sparse relationship with Xihe Wangfu, and she has always been her nominal maiden family, and it is impossible for her not to go back if something so big happens to her mother's family.
Also returning to the province are the autumn treasure pearl and the autumn pearl.
The autumn pearl of the concubine does not have the seal of the county lord, but the scenery is proud, but the second county lord Qiu Baozhu is overwhelmed, all thanks to the aunt of the side concubine. Now Concubine Bian's mother and son are tragic, not to mention, even her father is not good, seeing that the palace is going to be Princess Yang in charge, Qiu Mingzhu's whole person seems to be blistered by Coptis chinensis - although it is about the same time as Qiu Baozhu and Qiu Lulan, she didn't even have time to say hello to her sisters, so she hurriedly ran to Qiu Mengmin to find out the cause of this great change.
And Qiu Baozhu and Qiu Yulan don't care about the life and death of anyone in the palace at present, so they just walk slowly behind, exchanging information by the way - Qiu Baozhu's husband's official position is very low, so low that he can't even mix up the qualifications for a summer vacation, and the last time she came over was a special trip; This will be able to arrive quickly, or not long ago, Jiang Yashuang greeted her family, promoted her county horse, and hinted that she had a summer residence for the couple at the bottom.
So although she was an older sister, she knew very little, and when she walked a few steps and saw only two sisters around, she asked softly about what had happened.
Listening to Qiu Yulan's general words, Qiu Baozhu couldn't help but be surprised: "How is this possible?" ”
She wasn't surprised that Qiu Hongzhi and Concubine Bian would actually harm Qiu Jinzhu, but, "These two can stand up to my mother's suppression, how can they be so careless?" ”
"It's your mother-in-law's methods!" Qiu Yulan said hesitantly, "It is said that the decoction that poisoned Qiu Jinzhu turned out to be poisoned by two kinds of poison - it happened that one covered up the traces of the other, so your mother-in-law first found Concubine Bian and almost beat Concubine Bian to death!" As a result, your father didn't believe it after he arrived, and he was going to find another doctor with excellent medical skills to check the decoction, and then he invited a doctor, and the doctor arrived to take a look, okay! It turns out that there is also a poison! After another check, Qiu Hongzhi was also dragged into the water! ”
Although Qiu Baozhu was closed to news, he also thought about it when he heard this: "So what about my father, he is now?" Qiu Mengmin said to the outside world that he was so angry with the concubine and eldest son that he vomited blood, and he was bedridden, and his current health situation was very worrisome.
"Second sister, you have children and daughters, and you haven't relied on your mother's family in your husband's house all these years, what are you afraid of?" Qiu Yulan said lightly, "It's the fourth sister who wants to cry, she hasn't been pregnant until now, this year's filial piety, who knows how many flowers and plants will be added to the backyard?" ”
Qiu Yulan has already bluntly said that he is filial piety, so it can be seen that Qiu Mengmin's fate has been decided.
Qiu Baozhu's expression changed for a long time, and then he said with mixed joy and hatred: "He also has today!" ”
But this result did not make her very satisfied, "We agreed before...... Now the next king of Xihe is our seventh brother? ”
What she asked for was to make her mother Li blind-Li's death, although Lu and Qiu Mengmin forced her to death, Princess Yang, who had never been through the door, was not a direct murderer, but the indirect responsibility is unshirkable: the Yang family didn't know that Qiu Mengmin had a wife, if they didn't covet the position of the princess and privately promised to marry a daughter, how could Lu and Qiu Mengmin do it?
Of course, the temptation of the hereditary king's concubine, there is no Yang family, there are also Zhao Qiansun and Zhou Wuzheng, but since it is Princess Yang who gets her wish, it is natural for her to bear the anger of the daughter of the Li family. Unless you dream, how can there be a net benefit in this world without paying the price?!
Not to mention that Princess Yang tortured Qiu Baozhu at the beginning!
Qiu Baozhu even said "he has today" when his biological father is dying, how can he think that his stepmother can comfort the Li family under Jiuquan by killing his father and becoming a concubine?
Qiu Yulan heard the dissatisfaction in her tone and smiled: "Second sister, what else does Xihe Wangfu have now besides the title?" ”
“…… Then just wait. Qiu Baozhu thought about it for a while, it is true that this mother's family is not as good as day by day, and Qiu Yinzhi's younger brother She also knows that he is unambitious, arrogant and incapable, and if there is no accident, he will not be able to become a climate. is Princess Yang, who was the delicate daughter of the official family and forced her mother to die with hatred to make room for her, and her maiden family was also very down-keeping the mother and son to survive...... It's just a remnant.
After all, Qiu Baozhu also knew that the reason why Qiu Jinzhu had this murderous disaster was purely because she blocked the further marriage between Empress Dowager Gu and Guo Shihan.
If the Xihe Palace's mansion dies all of a sudden, outsiders will inevitably guess that this is the Empress Dowager Gu or the cold weather.
"After waiting for a while, Qingwu is still Princess Changping, and everyone can't remember Xihe Palace......" While speaking, the two had already walked to the door of the back hall, and Qiu Baozhu looked deeply into the back hall, and the resentment was overflowing for a moment.
But by the time Xiuyan came out, she had already reverted to her usual indifferent look.
"Is the aunt in there? We heard that something was going on at home, so we came back to take a look. Qiu Yulan saw that Qiu Baozhu was silent with a wooden face, so he said to Xiuyan.
Xiuyan replied respectfully and invited them in.
When they arrived in the hall, they saw Princess Yang sitting on the top very haggardly, and asked them to sit again with a hoarse voice.
The two sisters have a bad relationship with her, and the inside story of the accident in the palace this time, the two have communicated on the road again, and at this moment, in the face of Princess Yang, the nominal saddest and actual beneficiary, they can't raise their interest in talking.
After a few words, when Qiu Mengmin was asked, the two sisters had to propose to visit and serve the sick, and Princess Yang's haggard and sad expression changed a little: "It is said that you have filial piety, I should not allow it." It's just that you don't know, the prince was so angry with those bastards that he vomited blood in public, and then helped him into the inner room, and he actually threw up two large bowls of blood on the edge of the bed......"
Speaking of this, he nodded the corner of his eyes with a handkerchief, "I can't sleep after drinking any tranquilizers in the past two days!" He didn't really fall asleep until this morning - I wish he had a good night's sleep. ”
Qiu Lulan was also talking, but at this moment, he pushed the boat down the river and said: "Since this is the case, then it can't disturb the uncle's placement." ”
Princess Yang was about to answer, when she suddenly heard Qiu Baozhu pretend to be surprised and whispered: "Father, can't you disturb now?" As soon as the fourth sister entered the door just now, she said that she was going to see her father? ”
"What?" When Princess Yang heard this, she frowned, and looked at Xiuyan, "Is there such a thing?" ”
Xiuyan was also surprised: "I haven't heard of it!" ”
"Go check it out!" Princess Yang looked annoyed, "Filial piety must also be measured, can the prince be disturbed now?!" ”
Qiu Yulan turned the bracelet on her wrist and was silent, and out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of Qiu Baozhu's expression flashing with instant pleasure - Princess Yang has already booked the status of a widow, will she take a good look at this courtyard, will she not know that Qiu Mingzhu went to Qiu Mengmin before she came to her?
The two masters and servants are now pretending to be surprised and pretending not to know, afraid that they plan to tell others like this in the future: "The princess just suffered the pain of losing her daughter, and it was found out that it was the hand of the family again, so sad that I can't say it!" Where is the energy to discipline the subordinates? The seventh son is young and young...... And who would have thought that the fourth lady would be so inconsiderate of the prince? Originally, the prince was so angry that he fell asleep easily, and as soon as the fourth lady ran over like this, the prince ...... Can the prince not have an accident? ”
"Poor Autumn Pearl!" Qiu Yulan sneered in his heart, "I'm really dizzy, and I don't want to think about Qiu Mengmin's three sons, the only one who can inherit the prince at present is Qiu Yinzhi!" She ran to see Qiu Mengmin first without the permission of Princess Yang, and if she couldn't see it, she would have fallen into the pit! ”
And Qiu Baozhu deliberately brought up this topic, obviously to push Qiu Mingzhu into the pit according to Princess Yang's arrangement. After all, she, Qiu Mengmin's daughter-in-law, lives the worst life among the daughters of the Qiu family, not to mention that as the eldest sister, none of her sisters respect her as the eldest sister! Now that the situation has changed, it is her turn to be an older sister to teach her sisters a lesson!
After a while, Xiuyan really brought someone to pull Qiu Mingzhu over, and as soon as she entered the door, she knelt down and pleaded guilty: "The fourth lady did enter the door before the second county lord and the fifth county lord, and went directly to the prince!" The servant did not know anything about this, and it was a dereliction of duty......"
Princess Yang didn't have the heart to listen to her, and asked directly: "How is the prince now?" ”
"Back to the princess's words, the prince was asleep before, but the fourth lady went over and said that she was ordered by the princess to visit inside, and the old slave ......"
"Bastard!" Princess Yang interrupted her mother-in-law angrily, "I don't even know when she comes back, how can I let her go in to visit?!" What did I tell you in the first place? The prince fell asleep so easily, don't disturb him! Are there thousands of mountains and rivers in this courtyard? Won't you come over and check it out and let her in?! ”
"Nonsense!" At the same time, it was Qiu Mingzhu's scream, "I didn't pretend to be the princess's order at all!" I went to my father's courtyard, and they let me in directly, and I didn't know that my father was he-"
Qiu Yulan covered the untouched tea, glanced at Qiu Baozhu, and knew that this matter was about to settle here.
…… In the evening of the same day, Qiu Mengmin, the king of Xihe, passed away.
Concubine Bian, who poisoned the county lord of Ningtai, had already choked her breath before the Empress Dowager Gu's decree was issued, of course, even so, her status as a concubine was cut off and she was only buried with a concubine ceremony.
And Qiu Hongzhi, who was not almost killed by Princess Yang, is also a dead end for murdering his sister and killing his father angrily.
Qiu Mingzhu's fate is naturally not good, her husband's family hired her because her aunt was a favored side concubine, but now she has no backer, and she has been accused of negligence that caused her father not to survive, and the ready-made reason gave her a letter of resignation!
…… Qiu Maozhi, the eighth son of Concubine Bian, died on a very vague date, and the reason is not clear, but everyone did not mention it with a tacit understanding, but they just lamented the tragedy of Xihe Palace, and the bitter life of Princess Yang and the new Xihe King Qiu Yinzhi.
In addition, Qingwu's promise to marry in the palace, in front of Empress Dowager Gu and Empress Jiang, was forgotten like this, as if it had never happened.
However, the public opinion caused by the tragedy of Xihe Wangfu did not last long, and the new news that King Zhou was about to marry and the seven princes would be crowned kings soon turned it into old news.
When the summer vacation is over and on the way back to Beijing, everyone's concern has become the two upcoming royal weddings.
