Chapter 219: "Charcoal in the Snow"
Shen knew that things had entered the Shen family from Shen Changrong, so he asked people to go to the Ning family and ask Ning Jingshui.
The poison of the Nine Golden Flowers will only affect the human body after years of contact, and it will not be dyed much with three or five strips of ink.
Shen Ke directly packed up, packed up and went to see Shen Zhongkang with the ink note.
Shen Zhongkang was furious when he learned that his eldest grandson was poisoned and almost had an accident, and the two didn't know what they said in An Yuntang, but the next day Shen sent all those ink strips to the palace to the prince, and discussed with the prince to find a better place for those ink strips.
Xue Nuo was forcibly asked by Shen to recuperate in the Flynn Courtyard, and the biggest pleasure every day was to listen to him talk about things outside after he came back from the next court.
Yongshun Hou Zhen sent the coffin to the Chengguo Mansion, and said that he would send a free longevity coat, but was reprimanded by Emperor Tianqing and grounded for three days.
Cheng Guogong didn't know if he was angry or really sick, he was critically ill several times, the Zheng family guarded the bed up and down and didn't dare to sleep, and Ning Jingshui and several doctors from the Tai Hospital took turns guarding day and night, so they barely hung Cheng Guogong's life.
The wound of the third prince was inflamed after returning from the board, and the people in the palace wanted to ask His Majesty for forgiveness but were blocked out of the palace gate.
It is said that when the queen cried and begged to break into the gate of Fengling Palace, and then almost knelt in front of the imperial study, the second prince and the prince took turns to intercede before Emperor Tianqing agreed to call the imperial doctor to see, and his lower body was bloody and smelly, and he was almost wasted.
Xue Nuo is like listening to a joke, drinking melon seeds and medicine every day to see the excitement.
The matter of the Criminal Department has also come to fruition.
The Ma Cheng who was caught before insisted that he was bought in Yunxiang Building, and only knew that the person who gave him the silver money asked him to poison the criminal department, and then climbed to bite Cheng Guogong, and he didn't know anything else.
The people of Jinlin Wei and the Criminal Department searched the whole city, and with the help of the people of the Soldiers and Horses Division, they finally found the escaped Lan Qiu within the three-day deadline, but the person was already a corpse when she was carried back, and after reading it, she said that she was strangled to death from behind and then thrown into the river, leaving no evidence on her body.
The origin of the poison is unknown, and Ma Cheng doesn't know.
After Lan Qiu, the only one who might know, was killed, the case of poisoning by the Criminal Department became a completely unsolved case.
The only thing that was found out was that Cheng Guogong and the four princes were calculated, and the three princes had nothing to do with the poisoning case.
Wu Jinliang sent this result into the palace, and was unexpectedly scolded by Emperor Tianqing.
Seeing that the case of the Criminal Department had nothing to do with Cheng Guogong, the people of the three princes of the court began to intercede for them again.
In the end, Emperor Tianqing could only go to the position of the Duke of the Zheng family in the name of unwarranted speculation of the prince and blame him for colluding with the traitor, demoted Cheng Guogong to Cheng Anbo, and took back all the real power in his hands to let him "cultivate" at home, not to mention, he was even more gracious, and sent Zheng Hongan and Peng's son back to the Zheng family, so that Cheng Anbo could enjoy the joy of family.
A few days later, the court issued another decree.
The third prince also became the first prince in the court to be crowned with the throne except for the crown prince, but as the concubine of the middle palace, he only got the position of the king of the county.
This title, which was full of admonition and humiliation, almost cut off the possibility of his ascension, and it was a warning to the courtiers who followed the third prince.
Even if Emperor Tianqing didn't really abolish him as he said that night, it was still difficult for the third prince to fight with other princes, at least until he eased up, without the mother family of Chengguo Mansion, he would not be able to fight anymore.
Cheng Anbo stole chickens and rice, and the entire Zheng family was full of sadness.
After the four princes eased the energy of that night, they knew that the old enemy the three princes had no hope of getting up, and the whole person was as if he had come back to life, and he was full of energy every day.
There are many people under the command of the three princes who see that the situation is not right, and they want to switch to others, the prince can't look down on those wall grass, and others can't afford to accept it, but now the only one except the prince of the four princes does not refuse, and some of them are active in the court.
The news from outside came in one after another, and Xue Nuo listened to it lively.
Every day, Ning Jingshui also opened a small stove for her.
Before the Chongyang Ancestor Worship, Xue Nuo's body had already healed for the most part, and although his body was still a little thin, he had been eating and drinking well for half a month, and he had raised a little meat on his face.
Shen didn't break her promise to take her out, and the day before Chongyang, she changed into the clothes that Shen asked someone to make for her.
Listening to Shen Ke casually talking about the movements of the four princes outside, she walked out from behind the screen and said, "He accepts so many people, and he is not afraid of supporting himself?" ”
Shen took the hairband placed on the table, called the person to him, and said while tying her hair: "The fourth prince is not a very stable person, and he suddenly gained power and patronized Huanxi, and he didn't know that His Majesty didn't like him to get too close to the courtiers, but on the one hand, he was powerful, and on the other hand, he was the emperor's heart. ”
"Those people under the command of the king of the county are all powerful, if they are in the pocket, it will undoubtedly be a tiger for him, if he lets go of this opportunity, it will be difficult to win over those people next time."
In the final analysis, the four princes are greedy and reluctant to have such a good opportunity.
"Keep your head down." Shen spoke.
Xue Nuo stood in front of him with his head down, feeling his hair pulled up by him, and his voice was a little indistinct when he pressed his head to speak: "What about the second prince and the fifth prince, did they really take the opportunity to win over a few people?" ”
"There is indeed some movement on the side of the fifth prince, and a few people have been wooed, but the second prince ......"
Shen Ke combed her hair with his fingers, and only said after a little heartfelt smoothness:
"After he followed the prince to intercede for the king of the county that day, there was nothing special as before, and he didn't mix with the things of the court, but during this time, he suddenly got a little closer to the king of the county."
Since the three princes were crowned the queen of the county, their status has plummeted.
Cheng Guogong became Cheng Anbo, and the queen was reprimanded by Emperor Tianqing for interceding for him that day and was confined to Fengling Palace.
However, the second prince is kind-hearted, and he pities the injury of the king of the county, and during this time, he will visit the palace from time to time, and he will also let people send some food and clothing.
When Xue Nuo heard this, he raised his head: "This is his Bo Ren name...... Hiss! ”
"Don't move."
Shen pressed her moving head and rubbed the place she had just been pulled for her.
Xue Nuo muttered "You hurry up" with some annoyance, and then continued what he didn't finish just now: "Even if the king of the county is disgusted by the emperor, his mother's family has been degraded one after another, but the family background in the court for so many years is still there, and there is a lack of food and clothing, he is smart." ”
Compared with the four princes who fell into the well, the second prince sent charcoal in the snow, and was willing to visit and care when the king of the county was in trouble, but he had to cry bitterly.
