Chapter 426 Chengenhou Mansion enters Beijing
The little eunuch who delivered the meal and the imperial chef who prepared the meal for the nurse all had accidents, one hanged himself, and the other committed suicide by poisoning.
The poison swallowed by the latter is the same as the toxicity in the nurse's body, the difference is in the dosage, and when Xi Qingyan got the news and arrived, the person's body was completely cold, and there was even snow-white powder on his lips, and he died peacefully.
After this incident, from the bright side, the little guys seem to have broken the clue about the poisoning, and all kinds of things that happened in the harem have also been transmitted to the previous dynasty, and at the moment, whether it is true or false, the ministers are excited, and they have played a request to find out the murderer.
Not only that, Xi Qingyan also found trace amounts of toxins in the brothers' bodies, and it seems that the person didn't let go of any of the children, and did something one by one.
"Bang."
"Bastard!"
A slap on the table, Xi Qingyan bit his back molars hard, and withdrew his slightly cool fingertips, thinking that the poisoning of the three little guys was already unbelievable, but he didn't expect Su Xiaomo and Xi Xiaochen to also be hit.
Who else is there in this harem, could it be that the ministers of the DPRK and China want to do something?
Frowning in annoyance, Xi Xiaochen lowered his head a little ashamedly, in vain he studied medicine diligently, but during this time, he didn't even know that his brother and younger siblings were poisoned, if it wasn't for Xi Qingyan rushing back in advance, their family would really die in vain.
"Mother, it's all because I'm not good at medicine, and in the future, I'll never be lazy again." The corners of his eyes gradually brought a little crystal, Xi Xiaochen had never regretted it as much as now, he looked at his innocent and ignorant younger siblings, and bit his lower lip hard.
He betrayed his brother's trust and failed to take on the responsibility of being a brother, all to blame.
Seeing that Xi Xiaochen fell into deep self-doubt, Xi Qingyan hurriedly reached out and took him into his arms, "Don't blame Xiao Chen, you have done a good job, if that person didn't care about you, he wouldn't have poisoned you through various hidden methods, it was my mother who didn't protect you."
Who would have thought that person would hide for so long, so long that Xi Qingyan and Su Lixiao let down their vigilance, and it was so long that they left Shengjing, creating an opportunity for that person.
"The harem is not as peaceful as we thought, and this incident can be regarded as a wake-up call for us, except for family members, no one should be gullible in the future."
Shu Xiaomo patted Xi Xiaochen's head, if he wants to say that he is derelict in his duties, as the eldest brother, he did not protect his younger siblings in the absence of his parents, and he also has a responsibility that cannot be shirked.
"Your father has already sent someone to investigate this matter, and you will stay in Fengluan Palace during this time, and the queen mother will definitely find out about it."
If Su Xiaomo and Xi Xiaochen want to detoxify, there are only two pairs of medicines, but the three little guys are still young, Xi Qingyan thought about it, and decided to let the nurse drink the antidote, and then assist the little guys to detoxify.
It's just that Xiao Wish is already weak, and the toxicity is heavier than that of Ran Ran and Shu Xiaoyi, and more importantly, this child is already blind, and Xi Qingyan doesn't dare to pack a ticket.
Having said that, she still wrote a letter to clarify the situation, and sent someone to tell Ming Xiu quickly, who handed over the small wish to her, and now that something happened, Xi Qingyan would not shirk her responsibility.
In the next few days, everyone in the palace of Fengluan Palace was in danger, for fear that they would be taken away by the palace people of the Shen Penal Division if they were not careful, and I heard that every imperial chef in the imperial dining room, including all the palace people associated with it, went to the Shen Penal Division.
Some were released intact, while others remained there forever.
As for what happened to the Prudential Division, no one knows except Xi Qingyan and Su Lixiao.
"You mean, this may have something to do with the Queen Mother?" Blinking in disbelief, Xi Qingyan twitched the corners of his mouth slightly, and then rubbed his eyebrows with a headache.
The first queen has been dead for many years, could it be that she ran out of the grave?
Looking at Xi Qingyan's strange expression of "no jokes", Su Lixiao nodded with a serious expression, and continued: "This matter was finally traced to a housekeeper father-in-law in the imperial dining room, who served in the mother's harem a few years ago, and I saw him when I was young."
But the clue was broken when he came here, and the father-in-law in charge saw that the matter was revealed, and he bit his tongue and committed suicide without saying a word
Quiet.
"Xiaomo, they are all your blood, this doesn't make sense at all." How could a good person have anything to do with the first queen, and things are developing more and more in the direction of the supernatural.
What's more, the first queen has been an ancient woman for many years, and she will never suddenly cheat the corpse, right?
With a flash of inspiration in his mind, Xi Qingyan suddenly asked, "When the queen died, have you ever seen her corpse?"
The sudden death of the first queen was inseparable from the favored Dong Guifei at the time, who slandered her for fornicating with the guards, and the first queen could not distinguish it, and finally chose to die and hanged herself.
But when I was still young, when I heard the news, the Emperor Taishang had already sent Dong Guifei to handle everything properly, did there really be any accidents?
The fingers holding the tea cup paused slightly, and a strange appearance gradually appeared in the bottom of Su Lixiao's eyes, and then he slowly shook his head, "It is a big crime for the concubine to commit suicide, and by the time I got the news, the queen mother had already been put in the coffin."
In other words, he did not see the last face of the first queen, and even many things were heard from the palace at that time.
But now that the truth is known, the emperor is the only one, so is it difficult to find him back for verification?
"What happened too quickly back then, my father was angry, and under the fanning of Concubine Dong, he didn't believe any arguments from the queen mother, so when I received the news and entered the palace, it was too late."
"By the way, there's one more thing." His eyes were slightly gloomy, and he said coldly, "The people from the Chengenhou Mansion have entered Beijing."
The first queen has already determined that she is from the Chiyan clan, but she has inexplicably become the eldest daughter of the old Chengenhou.
But the world doesn't know about this matter, so on the surface, the Chengenhou Mansion is also a long-cherished foreign family, and his nominal maternal grandfather and uncle are still alive now.
But......
There was a sneer on his lips, and the man's eyes were dark, like a bottomless whirlpool, with a piercing coolness, "They are not relatives to me."
At that time, he was rejected by the Emperor Taishang, and in desperation, he could only ask himself to lead the troops to the battle, which was difficult for ordinary people to understand.
But even so, the Chengenhou Mansion had no intention of making a move, and even blasted out the person sent by Shu Lixiao to deliver the letter, and afterwards left Shengjing overnight.
After many years of ignoring it, now they want to stand up and pick peaches, and Su Lixiao agrees to their request to return to Beijing, just to see how cheeky the family is.
"Back then, they were sure that Su Yiting would definitely become the crown prince and take over the throne, and they were afraid of me, and now they have handed over the fold again and again, if they don't still have doubts about what happened back then, Jicheng and them are a good place to go."
Jicheng, that is the place of exile since ancient times, it seems that Su Lixiao's hatred for them is really unforgettable.
"I will summon them to the palace in a few days, and I would like to see the strange people who can make you remember so many years."
The couple glanced at each other, and they both saw a hint of playfulness and sneer in each other's eyes, Xi grinched his fingers lightly, the corners of his lips were slightly raised, and there was indeed a coldness between his eyebrows.
Husband and wife are one, and the injuries that Su Lixiao has suffered naturally have to be recovered by her, who is a wife, and she wants to see what the Chengenhou Mansion wants to do when she is in a hurry to return to Beijing.
The poisoning of the little guys can only be temporarily stranded because there is no clue, but the turmoil in the harem has not disappeared, but has turned from the open to the dark.
At the same time, when the former queen hanged herself, Su Lixiao also secretly launched an investigation.
A few days later, Xi Qingyan received a sign that the Chengenhou Mansion wanted to enter the palace, she smiled noncommittally, and after the letter was replied, she posted to several close ladies.
It is better to be happy alone than to be happy with everyone, and the Chengenhou Mansion has been away from Shengjing for too long, so you have to let others re-see it. literature
However, Xi Qingyan's actions obviously misunderstood them, on this day, the old lady of Chengenhou took her two daughters-in-law and three granddaughters, dressed gorgeously and even proudly entered the palace, but when they stepped into Fengluan Palace, they were dumbfounded.
Not to say
Okay one-on-one meeting? Why did so many people come, could it be that Xi Qingyan wanted to make a face for them?
That's right, they are the only two relatives of the emperor, for the sake of their nurturing since childhood, Xi Qingyan did not dare to snub them.
Receiving the smug eyes of the old lady Chengenhou, the few people behind her suddenly straightened their waists, looking proud, and even saluted Xi lightly.
"See the Queen."
The first time they met, the old lady of Chengenhou didn't kneel and bow, but the woman and the three girls behind her only bowed their knees, so did they look down on Xi Qingyan?
The expression on her face remained unchanged, Xi Qingyan picked up the teacup, and glanced at the tea foam lightly for a while, she looked serious, as if she didn't notice them saluting, and directly hung them in place.
Seeing this, Princess Chen immediately covered her lips and laughed, "The old lady has been away from Beijing for a long time, and she has even forgotten a lot of etiquette rules."
"This time out of the palace, you have to ask the queen for a clever person, after all, this Shengjing is no better than other places, accidentally bumping into a nobleman, but it is a big crime to lose your head."
Chengenhou Mansion was afraid that the affairs of the first queen would affect them, so he ran from Shengjing to Qingcheng overnight, and this walk was nearly ten years, and now he came back with a cheeky swagger, and reasonable people guessed that this group of people was here to ask for benefits.
But their majesty the emperor has always been a person with clear rewards and punishments, and they didn't think that the Cheng'en Marquis Mansion was just that, but now they came up on the pole and asked Princess Chen to say, what is the difference between this and looking for death?
If she were them, she would have been honest in Qingcheng all her life, saying that she would not set foot in Shengjing for half a step.
But people, they are always greedy and insufficient, and they want to get glory and wealth that does not belong to them......
