227. The tyrant poisoned the queen
Everyone thought that Li Mobai asked Wu Shiyin to treat the queen, which was a manifestation of his care for the queen, and it was also his intention to make up for the 'debt' to the Zhu family in his heart.
Only Shen Ciwu didn't think so.
The suspicion in her heart did not directly ask Li Mobai, but chose to ask it sideways when Wu Shiyi was diagnosing her pulse.
"The emperor asked you to take care of the queen personally, do you have anything else?"
"Nope." Wu Shiyin kept his mouth shut, just busy checking Shen Ci's pulse.
Shen Ciwu took a hairpin from the bun and handed it to him, "The craftsmanship of Cai Diexuan is more than two hundred taels." ”
Wu Shiyi's eyes were attracted, and after a moment of entanglement, he snatched the hairpin over, "Deal." ”
He carefully wrapped the hairpin in a square towel and put it into his arms before saying, "The emperor asked me to add something to the queen's decoction." ”
"What?"
"Cinnabar."
Hearing those two words, Shen Ci was shocked.
Cinnabar is a poisonous yin owl, poisoned into the bone marrow after long-term use, and it is almost impossible to eradicate it.
When the poison is released, people will become half crazy even if they don't die.
"The emperor is doing this, he really can't tolerate the queen."
"Weichen asked Niangniang that day if she wanted to see the queen dig her own grave."
Looking back on the events of that day, the 'self-digging grave' that Wu Shiyin referred to clearly meant that after receiving Zhu Hongchuan's letter, the queen would make a mistake in a disorderly manner, and only by annoying Li Mobai would she incur the disaster of killing.
But she found another way to choose a desperate path to survive.
In the eyes of others, it is only seen that she is ruthless and righteous for the cause of her family and country, it is said that she should have taken advantage of it, why is it from digging graves?
"What? Can't understand such a simple truth? ”
Seeing that Shen Ci was worried and thoughtful, Wu Shiyin teased: "In order for himself to survive, he does not hesitate to sell his father, who dares to stay by his side with such a woman?" It's just that they gather for profit, and disperse for profit. How she treats her biological father today, tomorrow she will be able to treat the emperor in a way that is a hundred times more despicable than this. ”
"So you knew early on that as long as the queen received that note, no matter what she did, she wouldn't have a way to live?"
"Definitely." Wu Shiyin said while packing up the medicine box: "If it weren't for the fact that she had to rush out of the current predicament and rush to the emperor with a note to ask for credit, the emperor would have let her spend the rest of her life in the palace." ”
Somehow, Shen Ci was worried that some of the Virgin's heart was overflowing.
She was somewhat sympathetic to the Queen's plight.
Although she is vicious and calculating Li Mobai, in the context of such an era, how can she not be a poor woman?
For the glory of the family, for the glory of his own glory, he strives to maintain a relationship that has existed in name only from the beginning.
Such days look glamorous, but in fact, they are rotten to the bone in invisible places.
At dinner, she wanted to open her mouth to persuade Li Mobai and let him let the queen live.
Even if she was degraded to a concubine and abolished from the palace, it was better than ending her life silently.
However, Li Mobai spoke first: "There is something I want to tell you. I lifted the queen's grounding and restored the power in her hands, because of the queen mother's request, and it was also due to the situation of the court, not my original intention. ”
Shen Ciwu nodded in response, "So what?" ”
"So, I poisoned her."
"The emperor wants to poison her?"
"Yes." Li Mobai responded unabashedly, "I asked Wu Shihi to hide the cinnabar in the decoction given to her, and in the coming day, the queen will find another imperial doctor to treat her when she is unwell, even if she is diagnosed with cinnabar in her body, knowing that Wu Shiyin is taking care of the queen's body in person at my behest, she will understand my intentions, and no one will tell her the truth." ”
Shen Ciwu put down his chopsticks, and after a moment of entanglement, he couldn't help but persuade: "Does it have to be like this?" Like letting Zhu Hongchuan go, isn't it good to find a reason to fake her death and let her go out of the palace? ”
"Nope." Li Mobai said decisively, "She must die." ”
His expression became serious, and there was even a hint of hatred in his eyes.
Shen Ci faintly felt that things didn't seem to be so simple, "The emperor wants to execute her secretly, but because of something else??" ”
"Do you know the homozygous princess?"
Princess Homozygous is the sixth princess of the Qi Dynasty and the daughter of the late queen.
Because they are three years younger than Li Mobai, and like Li Mobai, they were all sent to the palace of the concubine since they were young to raise them, and they have a very deep brother-sister relationship with each other.
It's just that this princess is short-lived, and a year after Li Mobai ascended the throne, she died because of the epidemic.
"I've heard of it, it's the sixth princess?"
Li Mobai said: "She is well-behaved and sensible, she is smart and cute, and she is the most beloved princess by her father." In the same year, her father set up a princess mansion for her outside the palace. In the past, the princess's mansion was very close to the Zhu family, so she had already met Zhu Junwen when she had not yet entered the palace. At that time, the two had a very good personal relationship and often traveled together. When the girl's love was first opened, she met Xue Rui, the second son of the king of Fenyang. Xue Rui and Chunhe were in love, but Zhu Junwen took the first step to complain to Xue Rui, causing Chunhe to have a bad relationship with her. ”
Shen Ciwei listened to it with relish, this is much more exciting than any bloody TV series.
"And then?"
Later, the king of Fenyang moved away from Jiangdu, and this matter came to an end, and when I ascended the throne in the next year, when I chose a concubine, Zhu Junwen was allowed to be established as the queen under the strong recommendation of the queen mother. At that time, the Zhu family was powerful, and when I seized the throne, I tried my best to help, so I set up Zhu Junwen as the latter, and there was no opposition in the previous dynasty. Only homozygous, she repeatedly told me about the past between Junwen and Xue Rui. ”
This incident later broke out, and many courtiers in the previous dynasty felt that this matter was inappropriate after hearing about it, and there were more voices to stop her from sealing the queen. Although she was able to stand up successfully in the end, her hatred for homozygous had already been planted at that time. ”
"A year after I ascended the throne, homozygosity contracted an epidemic in the princess's mansion and died. The day before yesterday was her memorial day, I left the palace to go to the old site of the princess's mansion to revisit, and met the maid who used to serve the pure fit at the back door, and burned paper money to worship. ”
She disappeared since she got sick, and she thought that she was worried that she would be sick and run away secretly because she was ungrateful, but she only knew. It turns out that homozygous epidemics are not natural disasters, but man-made disasters. It was Zhu Junwen who threatened the lives of her maid's family members and asked her to mix the saliva of the epidemic patients into the homozygous food, and the homozygous also contracted the disease because of this. ”
The more Shen Ciwei listened, the more outrageous he felt, "She has married into the palace, why do you want to harm Princess Chunzy?" ”
"Since she became queen, I have never looked at her in the eye. Perhaps because of this, she blamed everything between me and her on Chunzygous. She blamed Chunga for telling me about the past between her and Xue Rui, and she always thought that I was alienated from her because I cared about her past. ”
"The maid said that she had done something wrong and fled back to her home in the countryside, and later moved with her parents and brothers several times because she was afraid that the people of the Zhu family would kill people."
Perhaps it was God's retribution, her parents also died of the epidemic in the end, and her brother did not die well. She married a wife, gave birth to two sons, her husband accidentally fell and died when he went to the house to repair the tiles, and she was also found to have an incurable disease, and every night she dreamed that the homozygous came to her to ask for her life. Hearing that the Zhu family had fallen, she dared to go back to Jiangdu to worship Chunhe, hoping to alleviate some of her guilt. ”
