Chapter 214: Hatred
Li Qingyi knew that she was very impatient, and said bluntly, "Can you please tell Madame about Yu Gongzi's illness?"
"What is there to say, people are so stupid that they don't know their parents, I originally thought that his condition had improved was a good thing, but who thought that it was just empty joy."
Her voice was cold and emotionless, as if she had become disheartened and had nothing to care about.
Li Qingyi was helpless, so she had no choice but to say, "Doesn't Mrs. Yu think that Ling Gongzi's condition is a little strange?"
Mrs. Yu stood up suddenly, her eyes widened, but her expression was neither angry nor sad, but a grievance that had never been believed, and was finally relieved.
She walked quickly to Li Qingyi and sat down on the chair next to her: "You also think my son's illness is unusual, don't you?"
Li Qingyi nodded and said, "Whether it is the time of onset or the time when the condition worsens again after it has eased, it is very coincidental, which makes people have to think about it."
"Finally someone is willing to tell the truth......
Mrs. Yu suddenly covered her eyes with a handkerchief and cried, "I think so too, but our lord has been unwilling to investigate this matter because it is related to that Pan Yuerong, and he also said that he would not let me think nonsense, saying that my son's aggravation of illness was just a coincidence. I don't believe it, I can't believe it, but he was cured with great difficulty......
"Then can Mrs. Yu tell me more carefully what happened after the last visit of the good nobleman to the mansion?"
Mrs. Yu hated the good nobles when she mentioned them, she gritted her teeth and said, "That heartless woman......
She choked up and said, "It is very common for the Tan family to bring Sister Pan Yuerong to the house, because the two families move around frequently, Pan Yuerong and my son's relationship is not unexpected, and it is time to get married next year." The two families knew what they knew, so they didn't guard against getting along with each other, and besides, there were girls around them all the time."
"That day, my son had a cold, and after Pan Yuerong came, he asked a few words with concern, and I joked with Tan about the relationship between the two, Pan Yuerong was ashamed, and said to go see my son, and we didn't care, so we let her lead the girl by herself."
She carefully recalled the events of this day, and she could see that she had thought about it thousands of times in her heart, and all the details were clearly explained.
"When the Pan family left, I went to see my son, and I didn't find anything unusual, until in the middle of the night, he suddenly had a high fever, and I hurriedly asked Lang Zhong who was sitting in the house to come and see, but Lang Zhong only said that the wind and cold were aggravated, and told us to take good care of him and take medicine. Who knows, he subsided the fever, and when he woke up again, he didn't even recognize me, his own mother!"
The corners of Mrs. Yu's eyes were red, and she said, "I searched for famous doctors in Beijing, and they all said that it was due to a high fever, and that my son had burned out his brain! As a mother, I can only watch my son become demented, like a three-year-old child...... It didn't take long for the news to spread, and the Pan family also ordered someone to come over and say that they were going to quit their relatives...... Although I think the other party is cold, I can understand it, after all, no one wants to marry their daughter to a fool......
Li Qingyi said, "But then you heard the news that Pan Yuerong had entered the palace, and you became suspicious?"
"Since she entered the palace in such a short period of time, didn't she have this plan a long time ago?"
Mrs. Yu's eyes flashed, very shrewd as a middle-aged woman, she said: "For the sake of glory and wealth, the fiancé of her childhood sweetheart will inevitably be infamous and accused of being cold, and she may lose the opportunity to enter the palace because of this incident. Therefore, she didn't dare to withdraw from her relatives openly, so she could only secretly poison her!"
"Does Madame have any proof?"
Mrs. Yu said angrily: "I thought about it, so I asked the girl who gave me the decoction that day, she said that Pan Yuerong's side was called Red Bean, who helped decoct the medicine, and Pan Yuerong fed it to my son by hand, I was suspicious, so I came to the door and asked, guess what? That girl named Red Bean actually threw herself into the well and died! If it were you, what would you do?"
"If it were me, I'd be suspicious."
Li Qingyi told the truth, she thought about it for a while, and asked, "Then there is always residue left in Yu Gongzi's medicine, have you ever asked people to distinguish it in detail?"
Mrs. Yu said deflatedly, "Naturally, whether it is Lang Zhong in the house
It's still outside, I've looked for people to see it, and they all said it's okay. My son was delirious, and I was concerned about his illness, and I was unable to investigate it further. So, this matter is over."
As she spoke, she called for someone to bring over the dregs that had been sealed at that time, and said, "This is what I left at that time, if you think it is useful, take it."
The residue in the paper bag has been air-dried, and the shriveled and heavy color is full of mixed medicinal smell.
Li Qingyi glanced at it and handed it to the long man on the side to put it away, "You can put it alive first, and then go back and distinguish it carefully."
Li Qingyi instructed, and then asked Mrs. Yu, "Then Yu Gongzi's condition improved later, and which holy hand healed him?"
Mrs. Yu suddenly fell silent and pursed the corners of her lips, as if there was something bad to say.
Li Qingyi was surprised: "Is there anything else hidden?"
Mrs. Yu sighed and said, "Actually, I don't know...... The man didn't show his face at all, but he caught a beggar in the street and brought a letter and a prescription. Said it would cure my son's illness. I was suspicious and took the recipe to Lang Zhong to see, and I only said that it was a recipe that replenished the middle and nourished the qi."
She took a letter out of her bosom and said, "I had no choice but to be a dead horse doctor, so I tried to give my son medicine. Who knows, unexpectedly, he really recovered little by little, and his sanity has cleared up a lot...... I was overjoyed, so I used this recipe for my son's treatment in a down-to-earth manner, and in the past six months, he has been much better."
Li Qingyi took the prescription and read softly: "Skullcap, coptis, cork, licorice......
This recipe is called "Yellow Soup", and Li Qingyi's grandfather also used it, so she remembers that it is indeed a recipe for tonifying the middle and nourishing qi.
She unfolded the letter again and looked at it.
Although the handwriting on the letter is neat, it can only be barely regarded as a juanxiu, and it seems that he is not a person who often writes it.
There is only a simple sentence written on it: This medicine can cure Ling Gongzi's illness.
"Is this man still showing up after that?"
Mrs. Yu shook her head: "No, after my son's illness recurred, I had people look for it, but there was no news."
In a word, she was forced out of her tears again.
"Miss Li, I know that you have nothing to do with this matter, but since you are like me, I feel that this matter is different...... I hope you can find out about this and give me an explanation."
"Mrs. Yu, if Gongzi's illness is really hidden, there will definitely be a time when the truth will be revealed."
After asking, Li Qingyi went to Yu Gongzi's courtyard to take a look from afar.
A thin figure was crouching on the ground, staring at the empty ground, not knowing what it was looking at.
Coming out of the Yu Mansion, Changning was waiting outside, "Girl, you told the slave maid to check the matter of the red bean, and it has been found out?"
"As I expected?"
Changning smiled, "Just as the girl expected!"
The next day, the time set by the emperor had arrived.
All the people involved in the case are gathered in Dali Temple.
Because it was a murder case in the Ming Huang Dynasty, or in the Fanghua Palace, the severity of the incident was enough for the three law divisions to pay attention to.
Dali Siqing's seat has been vacant for a long time, Cui Chun is thinking about filling this vacancy every day, and he is looking forward to solving a big case and making meritorious contributions.
He was sandwiched between the Shangshu of the Criminal Department and the Imperial History, like a pins and needles.
And the face of Cheng Pan Jingfu in the imperial history next to him was even more ugly than him.
Because the good man who died was his daughter.
The daughter entered the palace as a concubine, and soon became pregnant, for him, it was simply the smoke of the ancestral tomb, who knows, the child was not born yet, and the daughter died tragically under the sharp knife.
Cui Chun felt the atmosphere depressed and looked at Li Qingyi frequently.
It seems to ask again if she is really sure.
The county lord of Yuanheng, who was standing behind her, was also very nervous, but when she saw that Qin Zeng and Li Qingyi both had calm faces, she reluctantly calmed down and waited for the emperor to come.
In addition, the eldest princess of Deqing also sat in the hall.
After all, the murder happened in her Fanghua Palace.
But unexpectedly, Mrs. Yu also came to Dali Temple, she stood in the crowd, silent, but her eyes were hopeful, as if she was looking forward to something.
Although everyone knew in their hearts the connection between Yu Fu and this case, because of the emperor's face, they all pretended not to know anything.
Only Pan Jingfu and Tan were embarrassed when they saw Mrs. Yu, they glanced at each other, and they all hung their heads silently, and even the sadness after the death of their daughter was diluted a lot.
Jade Comb stood silently behind everyone, her eyebrows lowered, looking at her toes.
Tears flashed in Linglong's eyes from time to time, and her face was nervous and frightened.
When the two of them saw Mrs. Yu coming, they were surprised for a moment, and then they shrank behind everyone more honestly, not daring to attract too much attention, for fear that if one of them was not good, they would lose their lives.
Outside, there were little chamberlains singing and harmonizing, the emperor and Mu Guifei walked in slowly, and Mu Lan accompanied Mu Guifei like Mu Ying in the past.
At the beginning, the good nobles avoided leaving the palace, but they still rushed Mu Guifei on the grounds that the child in their womb rushed to Mu Guifei, and they didn't know what kind of mentality Mu Guifei came with today.
However, in addition to the queen, Mu Guifei is the first person in the harem.
She didn't care what most people thought, so she looked the most relaxed of the people present.
However, when she saw Li Qingyi standing not far from Qin Zeng, everything came to an abrupt end.
Li Qingyi stood in the corner, and everyone's expressions fell into her eyes one by one, naturally she didn't miss the change in Mu Guifei's expression.
She lowered her eyes and remained silent.
Of course Mu Guifei hated her, because Mu Ying was the child she used to exchange the fourth prince with Mrs. Mu.
It's her biological daughter.
