"No, you definitely have a master!" Zhao Fujin thought for a while, stretched out his finger and nodded: "Maybe there is more than one." ”

"I've always been curious, why is it that everyone else is fine for a good 100-day banquet, but I and Emperor Huifu will drink too much wine, and then summon the doctor Zhong who killed people to the door?"

"I drank the medicine he used to come to the door, what kind of medicine it is, it is written in the record of the Food and Drug Administration very well, and there is nothing suspicious. So much so that he prepared a suicide note, but he still couldn't decide the case, and the eldest lady worked in vain, and the search was fruitless. ”

"But none of them found out, that night I threw myself into the incident, you called the palace people to stare at me, but you took away the incense that had been burning in the palace all night."

"What kind of incense is that? Was it the incense that killed Emperor Huifu? Zhao Fujin pointed to the curling smoke lit in the room and asked, "Emperor Huifu is young, and he never woke up after falling asleep. As for me, my luck is much better, I suddenly woke up in the middle of the night, and you were in a hurry, repeatedly urging, and even impatient. ”

"Is it because I'm afraid that I'll smell something wrong with the incense, which will cause your plan to fail?" Zhao Fujin stretched out his finger and tapped the beads of sweat on Qiong Zhi's forehead: "However, there is one thing, I can't figure it out, since you want me to die, why don't you wait a few more moments to go out and call someone when you find out that I am throwing me?" ”

"Well, maybe it's because you think that the effort you delay for a while will kill me?" Zhao Fujin asked and answered himself, and every time he asked a question, he lowered his head, stared straight at Qiong Zhi, and forced her to fall to the ground.

Her face was pale, her head was covered with fine sweat, she crawled on the ground, trembling slightly: "Emperor Ji, the slave doesn't understand, what are you talking about?" ”

"Don't you understand? What was the reason why you got up yesterday morning and quietly went into the temple to pour the ashes from the incense burner? Zhao Fujin reached out and took out a purse from his sleeve: "Look at it, is the ash in this ash the ash of ecstasy incense?" ”

That night, after the man in black escaped, Zhao Fujin smelled the sweet fragrance in the hall, she didn't care about it at the time, but when Hua Yufang led someone to break in, her head began to dizzy again.

Hua Yufang searched for evidence in the hall, took Bai Aya away, picked up the ecstasy cigarette holder outside the door and left.

After they left, Zhao Fujin carefully observed the temple door, and she found that the temple door was closed tightly and there was no gap, and the doors and windows in the hall were not damaged.

If the man in black wanted not to alarm people to enter Qionghua Pavilion, this ecstasy incense had to be lit and put indoors in advance.

Since the doors and windows are undamaged, it means that the ecstasy incense paper tube left at the door is confusing people's vision.

Why confuse the line of sight?

Zhao Fujin thought about it for a long time and didn't figure it out, and then he saw Qiongzhi sneakily coming in to collect incense ashes.

If there is a mole, then it makes sense.

However, why did Qiong Zhi do a traitor to himself?

Doesn't she know that something happened to the people they were waiting for, and none of them could escape the relationship?

For example, Emperor Huifu, the two big girls around him were martyred by Cui Guifei, and the rest were sent to the dirtiest and most tired places as palace envoys.

These of them, who are the maids of the palace, follow the emperor's side, and live more delicately than ordinary ladies, and if they are sent to a pickled place, it is estimated that they will be more uncomfortable than death.

Therefore, there must be a very important reason for Qiongzhi's such a ruinous action.

If she hadn't mentioned Empress Yuanyou, talking about the dispute between the old and new parties, and the relationship between the Cai family and Empress Yuanyou, Zhao Fujin wouldn't have understood this.

"Qiong Zhi, Empress Yuanyou, no, how did the Meng clan explain to you after the abolition?" Zhao Fujin put his hand on the handle of the circle chair and leaned over: "Does she want you to destroy my marriage with the Cai family?" If you can't destroy it, you'll have to kill me? ”

"No, this has nothing to do with the eldest lady!" Qiong Zhi shook her head and desperately denied it: "The eldest lady has been relegated to Yaohua Palace, where does she have the ability to instruct slaves!" ”

"Look, as soon as you open your mouth, you have such an honorific title to the abolished queen, how can she not be capable?" Zhao Fujin said: "She doesn't have the ability, but the Empress Dowager Gao, the Empress Dowager Xiang has!" The Meng clan didn't even need to come out, so he could send you, the old people of Yuanyou, to sacrifice their lives and forget about death. ”

“……”

Only then did Qiong Zhi discover that what she said in a hurry was caught by Zhao Fujin.

She hesitated, sat up straight, lowered her voice and said, "That's the case, as long as the slave doesn't admit it, the emperor has no evidence to accuse the eldest lady." ”

"Why should I accuse Meng?" Zhao Fujin waved his hand a little funny: "That's it, that's it, what's the point of me arguing with you about this, you can step back." ”

Qiong Zhi didn't expect Zhao Fujin to not dispose of her, and she was a little stunned for a while, until she was pulled out of the pavilion by Qiong Ye and Qiong Yu, and she didn't come back to her senses.

After Zhao Fujin left, he summoned Xiangzhi and asked her to investigate the connection between Cai Ying and Meng, so as to confirm whether Cai Yan was a supporter of the old party.

Xiangzhi is also a know-it-all, and it took only half a day to find out the relationship between Cai Ying's mother's family:

Cai Yan's mother's surname is Liu Shuying, and his maternal grandfather is Liu Zhi, who was respected by the Empress Dowager Gao when he was Zhezong, and was the leader of the old party of Yuanyou.

At the peak of his power, it was the Empress Dowager Gao who listened to the government, and when he was in the court, he often turned his back on Zhezong, and was jealous of Zhezong.

After the death of the Empress Dowager Gao, and the pro-government of Zhezong, the Liu family was liquidated, and the whole family, young and old, except for women and children, were exiled to Lingnan.

Liu was a foreign-married daughter and was exempted from liquidation, but because her husband Cai Jing was afraid of being implicated, she was stuffed into a carriage overnight and sent to Fujian.

At that time, Liu was pregnant, the road was bumpy, coupled with the northerners moving south, the dampness and heat added to the body, and it was difficult to reach the ancestral house, but he was already infected with a stubborn disease.

No one, no medicine, can't go in and out of the door at will, and can only hold on to the death when sick.

Fortunately, Liu's younger brother Liu Ji learned that his sister was seriously ill in Lingnan and entrusted his wife's maiden cousin Xu to take care of one or two.

The Xu family is gentle and kind, and begged the Cai Jing people but there is no result.

But she has a teenage daughter, Xu Taoniang, who is very spicy.

She didn't say a word, took her cousin Liu Jin and a tenant farmer of a Zhuangzi, carrying sticks, wooden lifts, shovels and other things, and smashed them directly into the ancestral house of the Cai family, and snatched the Liu family who gave birth to a child back to the Xu family Zhuangzi.

Liu's son is Cai Ying, who has been staying in the Zhuangzi of the Xu family in Fujian since he was born until he was recalled to the capital by Cai Jing at the age of ten, and was protected by Xu Taoniang and his cousin Liu Jin.

Xu Taoniang's family was a businessman, and after the Liu family lost power, Liu Jin was taken to Xu's side to be raised, and his cousins grew up together, and he was quite a concubine.

In particular, Xu Taoniang's grandmother died, and her father went to sea and did not return, and legend has it that something has happened.

The Xu family deceived the Xu family on the grounds that the Xu family had no children and wanted to share the property in Xu's father's name.

Xu Taoniang was unwilling, and made her own assertion to remember Liu Jin in her own name, claiming that she was her son-in-law.

The Xu family naturally did not follow, so they set up a trap with a lot of eyes, and when Liu Jin went out to study, the old party fake books were placed in the guest room, so as to accuse him of "having a nest with Liu Zhi and others, in a vain attempt to subvert the government".

At that time, Cai Jing was in power and made every effort to investigate Yuanyou's old party, and Liu Jinzheng hit the forefront and was directly sentenced to exile.

In order to save Liu Jin, Xu Taoniang went to the capital to find Cai Jin for help, and Cai Ying knelt outside the door of Cai Jing's study for five days before Cai Jing agreed to dismiss Liu Jin.

However, at this time, Liu Jin had already died on the way to exile.

Tao Niang gave birth to Liu Jin's posthumous son, took Liu Ting, and was placed in a jewelry shop under his mother's name by Cai Ying, and it has been more than four years.

Therefore, Meng Jiangying, who grew up in Beijing, is not Cai Ying's childhood sweetheart.

Qiong Zhi said that in order to sabotage Zhao Fujin's marriage proposal with the Cai family.

And why was Emperor Huifu also counted by them, so he lost Qingqing's life?

She is young, she has no marriage with great figures, and her mother Cui is also a big-chested and brainless waste, so what is worthy of being tabooed by the old party of Yuanyou led by Meng?
