When He Jingying woke up on the dragon bed in the Heart Cultivation Palace, it was already dark.The candlelight in the hall was dim, but a familiar figure could be seen standing against the window.She tried to sit up half-supported in a groggy state, but in vain she found that her hands and feet were limp and she couldn't exert herself."
Lie down, don't move."
The person in front of the window heard the noise, turned and walked towards her, wondering if he had just woken up and was dazzled, and she felt that his steps were hesitant and hesitant.The head is very heavy and heavy, like a hollow stone drum, which can't hold the high wall and can't play the sounds of heaven.Vaguely frowning at him, she subconsciously smiled, quietly waiting for him to get closer little by little, wanting to smooth the folds between his eyebrows and melt the frost under his eyes.As his face became clear, memories flooded back in an instant.Her eyes widened, and the corners of her mouth sank a little, "What about others" He sat down next to the edge of the bed, holding her hand tightly through the quilt, his face was a little ugly, "He walked calmly. ”"He's dead," a look of disbelief flashed through her clear eyes, and she stared at the man's dim eyes, trying to see through the signs that he was lying."
No" He Jingying shook her head violently, and while she was trying to get up on the bed board, there was a sudden sharp pain in her abdomen, and her whole body seemed to be drained, and her head fell back to the pillow heavily."
Anu," he pressed her shoulder, his voice a little hoarse, "you can't get out of bed right now." ”Sensing something, her already pale little face became extremely pale, and she grabbed his sleeve urgently, her voice was trembling, "What's wrong with our child" "The doctor said that you were stimulated too much, and your body couldn't bear it for a while" Xiao Zhaoye's voice trembled, "It's a miscarriage." ”Fingers loosened weakly, her eyes widened expressionlessly, looking up at the carved roof, tears running uncontrollably down her sideburns and wetting the bedding.The child, the child she looked forward to day and night, the child who was connected to her by blood and bones, the child who was conceived and raised in her womb.She hadn't had time to show him the world, she hadn't had time to send the best of everything to him, she hadn't had time to do too many things, but he passed away quietly, with that unforgettable shock Holding the woman's delicate hand in the palm of his hand, Xiao Zhaoye said in a calm voice: "Anu, I'm here." ”In the dim candlelight, everything in this world is so unreal, like a dream, a heart-wrenching dream.When they heard that the emperor had executed the sinners who had blasphemed the queen, the people rejoiced.I also heard that the queen mother accidentally fell and had a miscarriage, and while regretting on the surface, more people sighed "The emperor is wise", and was glad that the fetus of unknown origin died and did not become confused.Five days have passed, but He Jingying is still like a walking corpse.It's just that her heart can't be as stiff as a drooping facial muscle, and she always pinches from time to time, and her whole body trembles in pain.Xu was because the emperor interrogated him, and Henglan was also depressed all day long.She felt that she was to blame for Lord Yang's death.If she hadn't invited Niangniang, if she had stopped Lord Yang in time, if she had made her confession firmer and more credible, she would never have worn it again.After such drastic changes, there is no one close to him who can explain a thing or two.He Jingying was just stunned every day, as if she was wandering outside the world."
The reputation of the royal family is related to the stability of the political situation, the unity of the country, and the lives of millions of people" Sometimes remembering what he said, she couldn't help but wonder how her children's lives were compared to the royal reputation.She didn't want to be suspicious of him like that, he was already the only corner of her broken heart.But such thoughts always unconsciously came to her mind, stabbing her heart for a while, and she was tired.I don't want to dwell on this disturbance anymore, I don't want to hate who blames anyone, I just want to run away from afar.Escape from the queen's throne, escape from the warmth and coldness of people, escape from him.The harem is closed after all, and as long as she doesn't want to know, nothing will disturb her tranquility.So much so that she didn't know what had happened outside in the past five days.So much so that when he hunched over on the edge of the bed and whispered in her ear, "Would you like to go to Baohua Mountain to live for a while?"
It was only later that she realized how much she regretted her decision.On the second day of the promulgation of the "Zhao People's Book", Zhou Fengshu came to see him, and the news brought by him can be said to be a big matter: Xiao Yan's secret guard report who followed Xiao Yan every day reported that Xiao Yan had entered the Xichang Marquis Mansion in a private sedan chair when he was in Xuhai, and left the house after talking with Xiao Luan in the study for nearly an hour.Then Xiao Luan sent his family to send a secret letter to Wang Yan, Xu Xiaosi, and Wang Guangzhi's mansion, and it was the night when the rumors of Yang He and the others spread inexplicably.The menacing joint letter was presented by the four of them.It is not difficult to guess that Xiao Luan's secret letter is inseparable from this joint name.Xiao Luan is not a Da Luo Immortal, and the rumors have not yet spread, how can he not know that there must be something strange in the prophet.Along the vine, Xiao Zhaoye checked along Xiao Luan's line and found that he often wore civilian clothes in and out of a wine shop called "Blue Torikai" on the east bank of Qingxi.This liquor store is located in the downtown area, going back and forth between the north and the south, which is conducive to concealment.Many courtiers led by Xiao Luan often met in the No. 1 box of Tianzi in the Blue Tori Residence, called a reminiscence drink, but they didn't know what they were plotting in private.In addition, the housekeeper of the Marquis of Xichang Mansion would go to the three shops in the city in turn on the second day of the first month of each month, and after entering the store, he would go around to the back hall and come out in about half an hour.The secret guard took advantage of the night to dig into the backyard of the store to investigate, and found that these sugar cake shops, silk shops, and pawnshops that were honest on the surface were actually hidden things.The ambition of Xiao Luan, who secretly stored grain and grass and prepared enough medicinal materials, can be seen.Xiao Zhaoye instructed Zhou Fengshu to send people to keep an eye on the magnates who came and went in and out of the Blue Bird Residence, and five days later, he got the roster of civil and military generals who often met with Xiao Luan in the Blue Bird Residence.As the so-called soldier is fast, Xiao Zhaoye immediately ordered Zhou Fengshu to lead people to investigate and deal with three stores on the grounds of tax evasion, detain the shopkeeper in the store for interrogation, and seize everything.At the same time, one by one, the military generals who remained in Beijing on the list of edicts entered the palace, sent Xiao Chen to intercept them at the palace gate, confiscated the military talismans in their hands, and placed them under house arrest pending trial.After arranging everything, Xiao Zhaoye sat in front of the desk with his head propped up, only feeling that something was missing in his heart.Sighing, Xiao Luan cultivated such a deep-rooted force under his nose, and he didn't even realize his jackal heart.The arrangement in the capital is still like this, the soldiers who train the frontier, the officials who govern a corner, and the county marquis who divide thousands of households, how many pearls have secretly cast him dare not think about it anymore.Even if Xiao Luan's tiger tooth is removed, how to leave Zhaowen's country is already full of holes, but Zhaowen has been in the office these days, and he has handled the affairs of the DPRK and China in a decent way, maybe he was born with a talent for governing the world, and it is not known.can't take care of that much, the top priority is to get rid of Xiao Luan's big trouble.Xiao Luan, a veteran of the three dynasties, has made outstanding achievements, and has won the trust of the first emperor, if you want to punish him, you must get evidence of his intention to rebel.This first move is to knock on the mountain and shake the tiger, he must force him to show his horse's feet and go to the court one day, Xu Longju hung his hands and shouted: "If there is something to play, there is nothing to retreat from the court" "The old minister has something to play" Zhou Fengshu took a step to the right and hugged his fists, "The old minister's subordinates recently seized three shops in the capital that secretly traded private ironware.It was originally three cases, but many similarities were found during the review process.Those shopkeepers are just puppets who take money to do things and put up a name, and the real shopkeeper is someone else.And they don't know the true identity of the upper family, who always comes to the store on the second day of every month to check the accounts, rain or shine.According to the confessions of the shopkeepers, the portraits of the upper family depicted separately are also strikingly similar.Therefore, the old minister thought that this was not accidental, and there must be some ulterior connection behind it. ”Xiao Zhaoye pondered for a long time, and said: "Private ironware is not trivial, but Zhou Aiqing has cracked three private cases in a row, and he has made great contributions, and I am very comforted Du Wenqian Du Aiqing"."
This is Du Wenqian Du Changshi, who has just been transferred to Beijing.Du Aiqing, I order you to fully assist General Zhou in strictly investigating the private case, and find out the mastermind behind the scenes as soon as possible" "The minister obeys the order" Du Wen responded respectfully."
Eh, Your Majesty" Uncle Zhou Feng touched his beard in embarrassment and grinned."
What's the matter with General Zhou" "Your Majesty, the old minister is a rough man, and he relied on the line newspaper and brute strength to serve those three stores.The next thing to investigate the case is that the old minister is really not good, that is, to give Du Changshi a hand and contribute manpower.Therefore, if there is any progress in the future, it must be due to Du Changshi, and it has nothing to do with the old minister. ”Xiao Zhaoye smiled: "Zhou Aiqing is too modest" "No" Zhou Fengshu said, "What the old minister means, anyway, the credit behind has nothing to do with the old minister, so please ask the emperor to reward the meritorious deeds according to the credit of this time" The voice landed, and the court was silent, obviously all the ministers were shocked by General Zhou's cheeky and amazing words."
Hahaha" Xiao Zhaoye's hearty laughter sounded on the dragon chair, and he clapped his hands and said: "Zhou Aiqing is quick to talk, and he is really bold and rewarded for his deeds, which is justified."
I will appoint you as "The emperor is slow" Xiao Luan, who was standing at the front, suddenly spoke, "The old minister thinks that the private case is still inconclusive, so you might as well wait for the case to be solved, and then it is not too late to give a reward." ”:
