Chapter 182, Killing the Father
The emperor's so-called "it won't be long" lasted for more than a month.
The entire harem was under the pressure of the emperor, and everyone was trembling, even the concubine was closed. The other princes and princesses are also unprecedentedly well-behaved, even including Yue Wangshu's little Adi, who has been studying a lot harder recently, and he doesn't go up to the tree to dig birds' eggs!
On such a day, under his father's nose, Meng Shu passed on the news to Xiuyiwei almost every day, how he chose the ranger that day, how he arranged for him to have a close relationship with the younger brother of the Shen family, and where did he get the highly poisonous Hedinghong, and installed the eunuch who was castrated without permission to enter the health pharmacy as eyeliner......
Everything is investigated clearly.
Meng Shu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, in this way, her and her brother's lives could be saved, right?
On this day and night, the cuckoo called outside the west window.
Meng Shu trembled, the investigation had already been clarified, why was it still ......
She tried to calm her mind and opened the back window, outside which was still the seemingly inconspicuous domestic servant, this time he handed over a small bottle, "This is Heding Hong, please put the girl in the tonic soup of the Hou Ye."
Meng Shu's eyes widened, and her teeth couldn't help chattering.
The servant whispered, "This is what the emperor meant." He put the small bottle on the inside of the windowsill, "Girl, look at it."
And then it disappeared without a trace!
Meng Shu trembled and picked up the small bottle, closed the window, and then his whole body went weak and fell to the ground!
The emperor actually asked her to kill her father with her own hands!
!
It is true that she also understands that her father will not escape death! But she never expected that the emperor would give her such a task!
But...... Previously, the emperor deliberately put the assassination on himself, wasn't it to wantonly kill the Meng family?!
Meng Shu suddenly understood that the emperor did not intend to make his father's crimes public!
It also means that it will not connect the nine clans! But only if the father dies!
Meng Shu closed her eyes, and her hands gradually stopped trembling. Father, father, you were the first to kill me...... For the sake of my brother and the whole Meng family, it's no wonder that I'm not filial.
Under the night, the study of the Hou Mansion was still bright.
The little servant politely but firmly stopped a plump and beautiful woman outside the room.
The woman was holding a cup of tonic soup and stamped her foot in anger, "You pass it on again!"
"Aunt Xiao, please don't embarrass the villain, Master Hou is busy, and no one will see him." The little guy said politely.
This Aunt Xiao is the most favored concubine of the Marquis of Qingning, and it is inevitable that she will be arrogant, "I don't believe it, the Hou Ye has no official position, it has been so long, busy during the day and busy at night!" Hum! There must be a new love again!"
The little maid looked helpless, "It's okay, auntie, don't be careful."
"Then let me go in and have a look!" Saying that, Aunt Xiao actually wanted to break in.
The little girl was in a hurry, and hurriedly stopped in front: "If my aunt continues to make trouble, it will only make Hou Ye angry!"
At this moment, the eldest girl Meng Shu came with her footsteps, "Aunt Xiao, don't think nonsense, the people in Beijing have been panicking recently, and my father is inevitably worried about the safety of the saint."
Aunt Xiao couldn't help but say in her heart, is the master so loyal??
Meng Shu glanced at the tray that Aunt Xiao was holding in her hand, there was a cup of tonic soup and a small spoon on it, so she stepped forward and opened the tonic soup, lowered her head and sniffed: "I'm afraid this soup has been stewed for several hours, right?" The wide sleeves fell on the tray, and he quietly tucked the spoon into the sleeve and replaced it with an identical one.
"Isn't it?" Aunt Xiao looked aggrieved, "It's been a good afternoon!"
Meng Shu said to the little guy, "It's better to do this, so I can send this tonic soup to my father."
The little girl hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward to take the tonic soup and said, "Then please go back to the eldest girl and aunt."
Although Aunt Xiao was a little dissatisfied, she finally sent the soup in, and she went away.
Meng Shu saw Aunt Xiao go away, so she also had to go back.
Unexpectedly
The little maid turned back again and said in a low voice, "Master Hou invites the girl in."
Meng Shu's expression tightened slightly, and then he bowed his head silently, and slowly stepped into the study, but saw that the tonic soup was just resting on the eucalyptus table on the side, and did not move at all. Meng Shu's eyebrows tightened, and she hurriedly stepped forward to ask for peace: "Father, since the embroidered guards have already arrested the Shen brothers, father should be at ease, how can ......?"
In the past few days, Meng Dongchuan has been restless day and night, and Su Ri's favorite concubine has ignored it, and now he looks a lot haggard.
"If I don't convict for a day, I won't be at ease." Meng Dongchuan's eyebrows have wrinkled into the word "Chuan", and more importantly, the eunuch he installed in the pharmacy was also arrested and taken to embroider clothes, in case he confessed something...... But it's not good.
Meng Shu quietly brought the tonic soup to the book, "Father, drink the soup to moisten your throat, this is Aunt Xiao's heart." - As she spoke, Meng Shu deliberately picked up the soup bowl and took a sip, "If you put it down again, it will be cold."
Meng Shu knew that her father was suspicious, and the decoction was always willing to be eaten only after the servant tried it, and this time she tasted the decoction, and her father must be relieved.
Sure enough, Meng Dongchuan took the tonic soup, and Meng Shu hurriedly handed over the important spoon.
Seeing Meng Dongchuan drink the whole bowl of tonic soup spoonful by spoonful, Meng Shu breathed a sigh of relief.
"Father, rest in peace, daughter is gone."
But when Meng Shu had just returned to his boudoir, Meng Dongchuan in the study in the front yard covered his chest and fell to the ground.
The Hou Mansion in the middle of the night instantly turned into a pot of porridge.
It was only smeared on the spoon, so the amount of Hedinghong was insufficient, but it was not immediately fatal, but Meng Dongchuan still fell into a coma, as if he had suddenly had some emergency.
The next day, the news reached the palace, and the emperor immediately sent a physician to treat him.
The second prince's companion read Meng Yuanqing, and the fourth prince accompanied Meng Yuanxi, and the two brothers immediately returned home to serve their father.
There are also many children who are all in front of the bed, coupled with the efforts of the imperial doctor to treat him - Meng Dongchuan died unexpectedly.
As for the cause of death, the doctor gave a perfect answer, saying that it was a sudden heart season, and because of old age and frailty, he couldn't afford to get sick.
Yue Wangshu himself didn't know what means the emperor used to conceal Meng Dongchuan, anyway, this scourge was dead, and it was a good thing for everyone.
The emperor decreed that the brother-in-law be buried with the gift of the country, and also authorized his eldest son Meng Yuanqing not to descend to the title of knight, so that everyone praised the son of heaven for loving the original queen and treating the descendants well, and was a first-class benevolent king.
And the assassination of the emperor was lightly attributed to a ranger who committed madness, but the Shen brothers were not strict in their family style, and they made friends with three religions and nine streams, and they were still fined and demoted, which was really a disaster.
Lan Guifei's mother and son had a false alarm, and all the beards and tails were released.
The Son of Heaven was assassinated, and with a result that no one expected, he ended up in a hurry. For a while, I don't know how many people were confused. Perhaps some of the smart people vaguely guessed something, but they didn't dare to say anything.
In short, the bizarre thing ended bizarrely.
