Chapter 22: The Lost East (Part II)


He thought to himself, his gaze moving downward.Both, if the fault is not in the Song family, then the person who poisoned is likely to be in the team sent to Jiangnan to fight wine first.These people have lived in the Song family for a while, and they have the opportunity to poison them.At the end of the twist and turn, I respectfully ask the Holy Will, whether to stay in the Song family and continue to investigate clues, or how to deal with Jiangnan and his party when they return to Beijing, the leader is Xiao Tanzhi, the advisor to the south of the army.When Emperor Wu was alive, this person was the general of the East Palace.In order to explore the movements of the East Palace, Xiao Zhaoye took him under his command very early, and he can be called a confidant for many years.Also going to pass the decree was Xu Longju, a eunuch of the two dynasties, who was an old man in the palace.Emperor Wu trusted him a lot when he was there, and this time the new emperor ascended the throne, leaving him to serve in front of the emperor.The rest of the entourage were all soldiers under Xiao Tanzhi.If you say that you are suspicious, is not everyone suspicious, and if you say that you are innocent, everyone is also innocent."

Song Shizhao has no ambitions and is happy and happy.Under severe torture, coercion and inducement, the Song family and others still did not confess. ”At the end of the chapter, he wrote, "Therefore, the ministers thought that the perpetrator should not be in the Song Mansion."

Yes, you have tortured people to death in prison, no matter how innocent the Song family is, they can't let it go, otherwise, where is the authority of the Great Qi Guan" Xiao Zhaoye shook his head helplessly, "What he said is high-sounding."

Ma Cheng, Ma Cheng" At this moment, the eunuch's loud recital came from outside the hall."

Your Majesty, Imperial Physician Yang asks to see you", "Xuan", "Weichen see the emperor", "Hurry up" Xiao Zhaoye waved his sleeves and signaled the attendants to retreat.Yang Minzhi's Shi Shiran stood up, saw that all the servants had exited the room in order, closed the door, and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen this time" "Brother Yang came just in time" Xiao Zhaoye stood up and hurriedly interrupted Yang Minzhi's words.He held the black lacquer fold in one hand, walked around to the table, and handed it directly to the rising star of the Tai Hospital, "This is the news from the people below." ”was stunned for a moment, and then said "Weichen transgression", Yang Minzhi respectfully took the fold and unfolded it carefully."

According to Brother Yang's high opinion, when did the murderer poison" Yang Minzhi closed the chapter, and while handing it back, he bowed his head slightly: "Time is in a hurry, I don't know if the emperor can allow Weichen to go back and think about it" "That's nature, nature." ”Xiao Zhaoye took the fold with a little disappointment and slowly returned to the back of the case."

Your Majesty" "Eh, Brother Yang." ”Xiao Zhaoye seemed to remember something, and suddenly turned around and asked, "You said that there is such a medicine in the world, which is non-toxic when consumed alone, but once it is mixed together, it is highly toxic, which can explain why all the raw materials for brewing are non-toxic." ”Yang Minzhi frowned, and then replied: "The emperor said that this kind of medicine does exist.It's just that what King Wuling has is the poison of the hook kiss, which is commonly known as the broken intestine grass.As far as Wei Chen knows, there is no other drug in the world that can be so similar to the toxicity of hook kiss. ”"Is it" Xiao Zhaoye replied lightly, looking a little lost and turned his back.Yang Minzhi raised his hand and wanted to speak, but when he heard Xiao Zhaoye, he asked in a deep voice, "The yellow mud written in the fold contains only the slight poison of oleander, and it has nothing to do with this case" Xiao Zhaoye didn't see it, and a trace of discoloration flashed between Yang Minzhi's eyes.That fleeting emotion has always been well concealed by him, and it has never appeared on his face.But in an instant, anger appeared on the face of that humble gentleman."

I think so.""

Hmm" responded listlessly."

Your Majesty, Weichen's appearance this time is to present a great joy.""

Oh, what's the matter" Xiao Zhaoye sat back on the carved dragon chair, barely raising some interest.In line with Lord Yang's usual style, he calmly spit out a few words: "Queen Mother, there is a happy letter." ”"What do you say Anu her" Xiao Zhaoye Huo Ran got up, and his cloudy face suddenly showed a look of great joy."

Exactly.Weichen came from Jingren Palace and just asked for the queen's mother. ”"Why didn't anyone send a message to me, why didn't you say it earlier" Xiao Zhaoye complained, but the corners of his mouth and eyes were full of joy, "Come on, swing the car" "Slow" Yang Minzhi hurriedly stopped Xiao Zhaoye, who was about to rush out of the house, and said: "Your Majesty, this matter is not suitable for public public. ”"What do you mean by this" Xiao Zhaoye collected the joy on his face and calmed down a little."

These days, the emperor has worked hard for the case of King Wuling, and he naturally knows how powerful it is.At present, there are still rebellious ministers and thieves who are ready to move in the shadows to forgive the ministers and courage, and their purpose is nothing more than to disrupt the dynasty and usurp the throne.If at this time, let them know that the royal family has it, what will they do" "They dare" seemed to remember something, Xiao Zhaoye's fists suddenly clenched, and his eyes were full of anger."

Please also ask the emperor to plan for the queen's mother" Xiao Zhaoye closed his eyes and took a deep breath, and gradually calmed down, "You are right.I was overjoyed and almost made a big mistake.Anu asked you to make a special trip, is that to tell me the news?"

”Yang Minzhi shook his head, "The queen thought that her liver qi was stagnant and her spleen and stomach were damaged.Wechen has not yet told the truth. ”"Hmm" Xiao Zhaoye frowned, "Why is this?"

"The queen's mother has been begging for a child for many years but can't, and there are many rumors among the people, which has added a lot of trouble to the emperor.The joy of the royal family, the whole world celebrates, and what the people are talking about at that time is no longer the matter of King Jingling suing the old, King Wuling suddenly dying, and the Marquis of Xichang taking sole power.His Majesty worries about such trivial matters every day, but there is a way to share the emperor's worries, and the queen mother must be as good as a stream, and she can't care about anything else" Xiao Zhaoye stood with his hands in his hands, frowned, and was silent for a long time.Suddenly, he sighed lightly, as if laughing at himself, "That makes sense."

You know Anu very well. ”"Wechen doesn't dare."

Yang Minzhi replied expressionlessly, and his warm face was as cold as ice at that moment."

In your opinion, what should I do" "The queen mother has been pregnant for more than two months, and paper can't contain the fire after all." ”Yang Min said word by word, "Weichen thinks that he should ask his mother to move to Baohua Mountain, and live in the nunnery in the name of accompanying the old lady and praying for the blessing of Sheji."

After the emperor calms down the chaos in the court, he will take the mother back to the palace. ”"It's really well thought out."

Xiao Zhaoye pondered for a long time and said, "Thank you Brother Yang for mentioning it."

Stand down. ”"Wechen retired."

The door behind him slowly closed, the sun had sunk, and the night breeze was blowing, adding a bit of coolness.Yes, how can the true dragon son be magnanimous, and how can he not be jealous and act more restrained in the future Yang Minzhi sighed secretly and moved away.The news of "the emperor has arrived" has been transmitted from the front hall of Jingren Palace to the queen's bedroom.He Jingying was dressed in a sleek bedclothes, stopped the action of removing the hairpin, pulled her hair together at will, and got up to take over.After taking the driver, saluting, and sending the palace maid away, He Jingyingfu sat down in front of the bronze mirror again and released the hair rope.Xiao Zhaoye stood behind her, carefully helping her remove the starry golden hairpin.I don't know how to speak, Xiao Zhaoye praised without a match: "Anu, your hair is really good, black and dense" "In recent months, I have been wearing a few pounds of hair crown and headdress every day, and I have pulled off a lot of my hair.Yo" He Jingying held a small clip on her right sideburn, "It's entangled here again, untie it for me." ”"Oh, that's it."

Xiao Zhaoye put the clip on the dresser, withdrew his hand and continued to pick the star dots on the green silk, "It's really cumbersome to stay in this palace every day and wear gold and silver.In this palace, you can't be free outside, have you ever thought about going out of the palace to live for a few days to recuperate", "What are you doing when you leave the palace?"

"It's not me, it's you."

Let a group of reliable servants accompany you, how about you go out of the palace and stay for a few days" "Why are you so troublesome to wear this gorgeous costume every day" He Jingying stared at his eyes from the mirror, and the eyes that could not tolerate a trace of impurities made him feel weak in his heart."

Don't treat me as a three-year-old child, just say it, what's going on" "It's okay, I just want you to go outside the palace to relax" His answer seemed evasive."

If you don't say it, then you want me to guess" She rolled her eyes, and while taking off the hair ornament on her head, she asked, "Today evening, Imperial Doctor Yang went to see you" Seeing that he was silent with a weak heart, He Jingying confirmed her conjecture, and then asked, "He said that he was my illness" Xiao Zhaoye still did not answer, so he could only leave it to her for the time being, calling it "illness"."

It's not as simple as liver qi stagnation and damage to the spleen and stomach" He Jingying took off the last bead hairpin and placed it on the dressing table, making a crisp sound of "bang".Realizing that she wanted to be crooked, Xiao Zhaoye was worried that she was suspicious and depressed on the one hand, and on the other hand, she couldn't tell the truth immediately, so she was very entangled.It's not easy to trick her into Baohua Mountain quietly."

What are you thinking about with this little head" Xiao Zhaoye turned around to avoid her eyes, and laughed loudly, "It's an eventful time right now, I'm worried about your safety, so I want to teach you to go out of the palace to avoid the limelight" "Oh" He Jingying buried her head in the jewelry on the table into her makeup, answered lightly, and then spit out a string of words fluently like an endorsement, "I, Xiao Zhaoye, swore in the car on March 26, the eighth year of Yongming, that I would never deceive my wife He in this life and this life." ”She didn't say the poisonous oath that followed, but just silenced here and turned her head to look at the man sitting at the coffee table.Xiao Zhaoye sat up straight, shook his head with a smile, and sighed: "It's still Madame, this reminder is really timely, let me tell you the truth."

It's just that you need to promise me, don't go your own way" He Jingying looked at him carefully with doubts, and finally nodded hesitantly.He smiled comfortably, took her into his arms, and said softly, "Anu, that's not a disease.You listen, you're going to be a mother" "Mother" She lost her voice for a while, her delicate lips were half open, her clear eyes were wide open, and the blood color of joy floated a little bit and sat on his knees, her eyes moved down a little bit, and her left hand trembled and stroked her lower abdomen: "Is it true that we, we have a child" Xiao Zhaoye doted on her shoulders and hugged her tighter: "You still can't believe Imperial Doctor Yang's medical skills Since he said it, there will be no difference" "Treat Xiao Zhaoye well" Holding her chin, When I lifted the flower lightly, I saw clearly that the tears on the face that did not apply powder had long since become unsightly."

Okay, okay, no matter how happy you are, you won't cry like this, rub, don't make the children in your belly laugh" "How can there be" He Jingying knocked off the hand that was wiping indiscriminately on her face, and took out a handkerchief from her waist to wipe it.After a while, the joyful mood calmed down a little, and He Jingying's reason reoccupied the high ground again.Pushing his chest, she stood up and looked down at him condescendingly: "You just tried everything to coax me out of the palace, what kind of ghost is An" "Well" Xiao Zhaoye scratched his hair and sneered, "That's it."

I think, if you have good news, you should keep it a secret and not announce that there is such a tradition on our side, before six months of pregnancy, you can't spread the news, it's unlucky, so, I want you to live on Baohua Mountain for a while, you can not only raise the fetus quietly, but also "make it up, make it up again" She looked at him angrily with a straight face, pouting and pouting, "Why are you getting more and more used to making up nonsense recently" "Anu" "I know what you're worried about, the murderer of the fifth grandfather is still at large, and someone is coveting this throne, And there may be more than one group of people.You are afraid that they will do whatever it takes to attack their children. ”"The enemy is dark and I am clear, and I can't prevent it" Xiao Zhaoye shook his head helplessly, "It's not just a child, Anu, I must not let them hurt you a single hair" "Indeed, if I live in Baohua Mountain, it is a place of royal sacrifice, and idle people are not allowed to enter, so I can keep the news more than the palace."

But have you ever thought that the current situation in the court is turbulent, and the happy event of the successor to the throne is a reassuring pill, how can you waste this great opportunity in vain" "Anu, I am just worried about why you are bent on going your own way for the sake of the peace of the court, so I am reluctant to tell you this happy news.I can't afford to take that risk, I can't bet on you" "What means can they have" He Jingying gritted her teeth and hooked the corners of her mouth, smiling sarcastically, "Assassinate the guards of Jingren Palace, and find a few more masters to be here on an errand."

Under the medicine and poison, I arranged for a medical woman with a bright nose to be inseparable from me, and then tightened the control of tasting medicine and tasting dishes.In this way, neither musk nor arsenic can get close to me. ”"But, a hundred secrets, in case" "Then there are so many in case, you also take me too lightly, am I a person who will suffer dumb losses, I promise not to let others touch our children's hair" "Anu."

Let's go to Baohua Mountain to live for a while. ”Xiao Zhaoye frowned and persuaded, "I promise, I will purge the Qing Dynasty as soon as possible and welcome you back to the palace" "I don't want it, I don't want it" She shook her head desperately, "There is a temple on the mountain, a few nunnery, it's too deserted, I won't go If you don't write the holy decree well, take advantage of this good news to celebrate with the whole world, I will shout myself, see who dares to doubt the words of the queen mother" "Anu" Xiao Zhaoye felt a pain in his brain for a while."

Okay, that's it, it's decided, what time is this, the baby in the belly must be tired, I have to go to bed quickly" "Hey" Xiao Zhaoye raised his hand, and he didn't have time to grab the sleeve that fluttered away.She lay down on the bed peacefully and pulled up the quilt: "Put out the candlelight for me, dazzling." ”"Yes, yes, it's the queen":
