Chapter 7: The Death of Xue Chan
On March 16 of the seventh year of Tianping, Xue Cicada had a difficult birth, one corpse and two lives.
The emperor decreed that Xue Chongrong was posthumously sealed, and later called Xue Xiurong, and buried in the concubine's mausoleum.
Xue Xiurong died suddenly in childbirth, and she didn't even find out the reason, she lived in the Amber Palace Pavilion before her death, and Mo Jieyu, who lived in another side hall of the Amber Palace, also died inexplicably, and for a while, the statement that the Amber Palace had problems spread in the harem, and it was reasonable to say that when the emperor was there, there was a concubine who lived in the Amber Palace who was murdered and died in childbirth, and in the end the murderer did not find out, it was the concubine who died in childbirth who turned into a ghost and occupied the Amber Palace, and the people who lived in the Amber Palace were killed, So Mo Jieyu and Xue Xiurong, who lived in the Amber Palace, died.
For this kind of ghost and god thing, Li Ling has always been unconvinced, she has always felt that only people are the most terrible.
Xue Xiurong's miscarriage and death, it is a good thing that the palace concubine did it, it just so happens that the palace where Xue Xiurong lives and Mo Jieyu, who died before, are the same palace, so the person behind it spread such rumors, so that everyone in the harem will think about Xue Xiurong's death in the direction of ghosts and gods, so as to truly let go of the person who plotted to kill Xue Xiurong behind his back.
However, Xue Xiurong is dead, indicating that no reason has been found, so this matter is not resolved in the end, anyway, no one in the harem will really care about the life or death of others.
But for the haunting, the pear Ling quickly issued a ban, and now that the draft is imminent, these palaces in the palace will definitely be inhabited, if there is any haunting, it will not end well, so the pear Ling prohibits these palace maids and eunuchs in the palace to discuss this matter again.
Due to the suppression of Liling, and with Xue Xiurong's burial, the fact that there was a ghost in the Amber Palace quickly fell silent, and like Xue Xiurong's miscarriage and death, it became a passing cloud in a blink of an eye, and no one mentioned it again.
Except for the pear sling.
It's not because Pear Ling sympathizes or pities Xue Xiurong, but because of Xue Xiurong's symptoms before she had a miscarriage, when Pear Ling asked Xue Xiurong's palace maid in the Amber Palace that day, there was a palace maid who said that Xue Xiurong had lost her appetite before she had a miscarriage, and the whole person was drowsy, but Pear Ling felt that she seemed to be a little familiar with such symptoms, as if someone had such symptoms before.
Later, Li Ling thought about it carefully, and the last thing that came to mind was - Zhuang Zhaorong!
Zhuang Zhaorong Jiang Linlang, who gave birth to the second princess and died in childbirth!
At that time, Zhuang Zhaorong often sent people to invite the emperor away at night when the emperor was lucky to others, saying that the dragon heir in the stomach was not very stable, and everyone in the harem thought that Zhuang Zhaorong was using the child in the belly as an excuse, but only Li Ling knew that Zhuang Zhaorong did not call the emperor away under the pretext of having a bad stomach, Zhuang Zhaorong has been losing appetite, insomnia, and chest tightness since the newcomer entered the palace after the draft that year. Zhuang Zhaorong herself also believed that she was thinking too much.
Later, Zhuang Zhaorong died in childbirth, and died after giving birth to the second princess desperately.
After Xue Xiurong's death, Li Ling checked some of Xue Xiurong's pregnancy before her death, and found that Xue Xiurong and Zhuang Zhaorong's conditions were almost the same! The only difference is that Zhuang Zhaorong gave birth to a child, while Xue Xiurong is a corpse with two lives!
Could it be because Zhuang Zhaorong was more than seven months pregnant at that time, and the child was already a month old, so he finally gave birth to a child, and now Xue Xiurong's child is only more than five months old, which is the result of one corpse and two lives in the end?
Or Zhuang Zhaorong had these symptoms only after the show girl entered the palace, that is to say, the people behind him did not attack Zhuang Zhaorong for a long time, or the medicine was not enough, so Zhuang Zhaorong was able to give birth to the second princess, and Xue Xiurong was drugged at the beginning, so he couldn't keep the child after more than five months?
Li Ling is guessing here, she has ordered someone to start the investigation, the person behind this has silently killed the two pregnant concubines, she must find out who the person behind this is, otherwise, in the future, how can she get pregnant with peace of mind?
Li Ling remembered Wu Cairen Wu Zhilei again.
One day two years ago, Wu Zhilei, who was demoted from Jieyu to a girl because of the murder of Jiang Yan's Jiang family, suddenly came to see her, and finally said that she did not murder the Jiang family, but because she broke the secret of Zhuang Zhaorong's difficult birth, so she was framed.
The person behind pointed directly at Yu Baolin and Yu Lingyi, who were still Duan Xiuyi at that time!
If what Wu Cairen said back then was true, then was Xue Xiurong's incident this time also done by Yu Baolin?
Li Ling is not sure, because what Wu Cairen said at the beginning is not necessarily the truth, if Wu Cairen really knew that Yu Baolin harmed Zhuang Zhaorong, then Yu Baolin would definitely get rid of Wu Cairen, but two years have passed, Wu Cairen is still alive and well, and he gave birth to the third princess.
But it doesn't matter if she's not sure, she can send someone to verify, as long as there is a suspect in it, it's much easier to verify.
But if this thing is done so secretly, how can it be so simple to be found out?
Liling sent people to check for a long time, but with little success.
Zhuang Zhaorong's matter back then is no longer verifiable, and now that almost three years have passed, any traces have already been smoothed out, and only from Xue Xiurong's matter can we see if we can find out anything. In the end, there are only a few clues pointing to Zhengde Palace, that is, the Queen Mother Yu Anqiao!
However, with that little bit of clues, it can't be proved that the Queen Mother has anything to do with Xue Xiurong's miscarriage.
Pear cleaned everything in her hand.
She doesn't need definite evidence to prove that the Queen Mother has anything to do with this matter, after all, even if it is really found out that this matter has something to do with the Queen Mother, it can't shake the status of the Queen Mother, and Li Ling only needs to know that this matter is inseparable from the Queen Mother, then she can guard against the Queen Mother, a powerful and pervasive enemy, in the future.
Li Ling felt that Zhuang Zhaorong's matter should be Yu Baolin's hand, but this idea should have been given by the Queen Mother, Yu Baolin had just entered the palace at the time, and he was not experienced enough to do things, so he was discovered by Wu Cairen Some clues; And Xue Xiurong's matter is obviously more secretive than Zhuang Zhaorong's original matter, and now Yu Baolin is in a downturn, and it is too late to think about how to save the emperor's heart all day long, I am afraid that there is not too much thought about murdering Xue Xiurong's fetus; But the Queen Mother is different, the Queen Mother is now raising the second prince, and I am afraid that she wants to support the second prince to ascend to the throne in the future, so she naturally has to clear all obstacles for the second prince in advance!
Besides, this matter is not leaky, and it is indeed the style of the Queen Mother, if it weren't for the fact that Li Ling placed some inconspicuous people in the Queen Mother's palace in the early years, I am afraid that I would not even be able to find that little clue.
The Queen Mother is really a good means!
