Chapter 41: Catching Ghosts
After Su Qingyu entered the palace, he went straight to the Taiji Hall where Xiao Yu was, Xiao Yu dismissed all the palace people who served, and even Xu Lin was sent out.
That day, Su Qingyu stayed in the Taiji Hall for two or three hours before leaving. Then he returned to the General's Mansion, carrying a sword, and disappeared without a trace.
No one knew what Xiao Yu and Su Qingyu had said. It's just that those who have seen Su Qingyu can see that Su Qingyu is in a hurry, if it weren't for the news of any army deployment in the next few days, everyone thought that there was going to be a war.
Nie Yan was in Beichen Palace, but she didn't know anything about it, and it wasn't until Su Qingyu was injured and returned to Beijing that she didn't know that such a big thing had happened.
In the past few days, Nie Yan has not been in a good mood, because the matter of the bamboo frost ghost has not been resolved.
"Erchen has inquired about those minions, and the soul of Zhushuang floats back and forth by the lake at night, and once someone passes, it will disappear again."
Because Nie Yan had been asleep for a few days, the eldest prince had been investigating the matter, but after a few days, there was no clue at all.
As for Nie Yan's poisoning, the eldest prince was also very well-behaved and didn't say much. He knew that Xiao Yu ordered the sealing, but fortunately Nie Yan didn't have any doubts and didn't ask him a word, otherwise he would really be in a dilemma.
Nie Yan frowned when she heard this: "The palace maid who was originally caught, but she is still imprisoned?" ”
"At this time, Erchen didn't dare to release her."
The eldest prince replied.
"Still haven't asked anything?" Nie Yan asked.
The eldest prince nodded and said, "The punishment of the Punishment Division has been given, and there is no move." ”
For some reason, Nie Yan always felt that the palace maid had nothing to do with this matter. But if you can't judge something, you can't do anything.
"If it goes on like this, I'm afraid that people's hearts will be unstable." Nie Yan worried. At this time, once it is publicized, it will inevitably make people seize the handle, which is not good for Nie Yan.
"Don't worry, concubine, tonight the retainers are going to meet the so-called ghost for a while." The eldest prince chuckled and comforted Nie Yan.
Nie Yan was shocked when she heard this, and said, "No, if something happens to you, how can this palace explain to your father?" ”
The eldest prince said disapprerovitically: "Don't worry, the concubine, the sons are ready." ”
Nie Yan still didn't dare to feel at ease, and wanted to persuade again, but she heard the eldest prince say again: "The mother concubine can go with her son to catch that 'ghost'." The son assured that the matter was man-made. ”
Seeing that the eldest prince was full of grasp, Nie Yan couldn't help but believe a little. Moreover, the eldest prince said that they could go together, even if something happened then, Nie Yan could respond in time.
After a few thoughts, Nie Yan nodded and agreed.
Seeing that Nie Yan agreed, the eldest prince hurriedly got up and retired, and began to arrange tonight's ghost catching plan.
After the eldest prince left, Su Yun walked towards Nie Yan hesitantly, and stopped talking.
"Say anything about it." Nie Yan said with a smile.
Su Yun tightened the silk handkerchief in his hand, took a deep breath, and then knelt down at Nie Yan.
"Mother, the slave is guilty." Su Yun buried his head and said.
Nie Yan didn't know which Su Yun was singing, and asked, "Okay, what's the crime?" ”
"The slave has been deceiving the mother. It is a great sin. Su Yun's head was buried deeper.
Nie Yan was puzzled, and then remembered that Su Yun had never told her about her life experience, was it because of this?
"If it's about your life, it's your own privacy, even if you don't tell this palace, what's the sin?" Nie Yan comforted Su Yundao.
Su Yun shook his head violently and said, "If it weren't for the slave maid, presumably the mother wouldn't have suffered this time." The lethargy of the mother these days is caused by poisoning! ”
"What? Poisoning?! Didn't the imperial doctor say it was due to fatigue? Even His Majesty said so. Nie Yan wondered.
Could it be that the imperial doctor still dares to deceive the king?
"Please believe in the slave, this poison is called 'drunk life and dream death', and the slave will never admit her mistake." Su Yun argued.
Nie Yan didn't say a word, but calmed down and said, "Even if it's poisoning, what does it have to do with you?" ”
"Because this poison is made by the slave father! The slave's father was originally a former imperial hospital. Due to improper medication, the palace concubine died, and Fang was given death by the first emperor, and the slave maid and younger brother were also assigned to the frontier. ”
Su Yun choked up when he said this.
"That's it, anyway, this palace is fine now. You don't have to blame yourself. Nie Yan thinks that Su Yun is not to blame for this matter, the important thing is to find out who wants her life.
And Nie Yan originally guessed that Su Yun's origin was not simple, but she didn't expect that she was the daughter of the courtyard, so Nie Yan's father and Xu Chengfang might not know each other.
Nie Yan became a little closer to Su Yun in her heart.
"No, the slave blames herself for not being able to find out about this poison earlier, if it is one step later, the mother may be ......."
Su Yun said with tears in his eyes.
"Since the palace is still alive, I think there is an imperial doctor who has developed an antidote." Nie Yan didn't know that she was confused, so she walked away from the ghost gate, and she was glad that the imperial doctor in the Chu Palace had superb medical skills.
Su Yun opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything more about it after all.
Seeing that Su Yun's mood was still a little sluggish, Nie Yan asked, "Do you know who the poisoner is?" ”
"It's a palace maid, and when Gonggong Xu, who was next to His Majesty, took people to go, she had already committed suicide."
Su Yun regretted that it would be difficult to find out who was behind the scenes.
Nie Yan was mentally prepared to dare to poison her directly, how could she not count everything?
She just didn't understand why Xiao Yu lied to her, was she afraid that she would feel insecure? Or don't you want her to get involved in some strife?
"By the way, Niangniang, Your Majesty has issued a gag order to the people in Beichen Palace who know about Niangniang's poisoning, and no one is allowed to disclose the poisoning to Niangniang."
Su Yun said cautiously.
Nie Yan suddenly realized when she heard this, this girl was doing things at the risk of offending Xiao Yu.
"Don't worry, this palace won't tell Your Majesty." Nie Yan naturally wouldn't hand over Su Yun to Xiao Yu.
Su Yun's heart was a little calmer.
Nie Yan glanced out the window and saw that the sun was about to set, so she ordered Su Yundao: "Go and pass on dinner." Tonight, the main palace has to rush to the theater early. ”
Su Yun didn't know about the agreement between the eldest prince and Nie Yan, but he didn't ask much, turned around and went to order someone to pass the meal.
And the eldest prince, with a few henchmen and eunuchs, ambushed by the lake after the sky darkened.
Among these eunuchs, there is also Fushun in the ranks.
"Fushun, how about you go up and do it in a while?" The eldest prince looked at Fushun with a smile.
"Slaves obey!" Fushun responded without saying a word.
Fushun was not a timid person in the first place, even if it was a ghost, it could only make him slightly surprised at the beginning, there were more than one or two people killed by his master's black hands behind his back, and now the master is still alive and well. I've never seen Master in trouble.
Originally, he was very dissatisfied with the so-called 'unjust soul', and he made such a trouble, didn't he obviously slap him in the face in front of Nie Yan? At the beginning, he promised that there would be no problem with Nie Yan.
After a while, someone looked at the lake in a low voice and said, "Here it is!" ”
