After the incident, Wei Xi was surprised by the identity of Zhou Yuan's enemy.And Zong Xu, who already knew who Zhou Yuan's enemy was, was surprised by Zhou Yuan's revenge methods."
Are you sure that Tuesday Gongzi never approached Xia Ge Lao and Xia Yanjin last night, and the fire in the bodies of those two suddenly ignited?"
Seven Kills stood in front of Zong Xu and nodded with his head down, "The subordinates are sure that when Elder Xia Ge and Xia Yanjin's bodies were on fire, that Tuesday Gongzi was already in the south of the city. ”"Didn't see any clues?"
Seven Kills was silent and shook his head affirmatively, "The subordinates have not found anything strange. ”Seeing this, Zong Xu waved his hand at him, and after the seven killings left, he said to himself: "In this case, I am afraid that this case is going to become an unsolved case." ”In a word, it is a prophecy.Nearly ten days have passed since Xia Ge Lao and Xia Xiaoge Lao were killed, and Marble and the Criminal Department cooperated to investigate the case, but they still haven't been able to find out any clues, and they haven't even found out why their bodies suddenly caught fire.I heard that His Majesty in the palace has dropped three teacups, and one side is a paperweight.The Shaoqing of Dali Temple and the Zuo Shilang of the Criminal Department, who hosted the case, were scolded every time they entered the palace.The case is at a loss, and although the weather has turned cooler now, the corpses still can't withstand long-term storage, and seeing that there is no way to find clues from the corpses, the Criminal Department had to return the bodies of the two to the Xia Mansion for burial.As a result, the case is even more difficult to investigate.Even Shaoqing of Dali Temple and Zuo Shilang of the Criminal Department, when they got together to talk about the progress of the case, they already had a faint intention to classify the case as an unsolved case.Harem, Liuhua Palace where Concubine Lan lived.Concubine Lan woke up from her sleep again.As soon as I stretched out my hand, I was in a cold sweat.Her father and younger brother were killed, although she was a palace concubine, she was still able to go back to her home to pay respects.But since she came back from the house, she woke up from a nightmare almost every night.Every time in her dreams, she watched her father and brother talking to her, when suddenly their expressions distorted, and they shouted frantically, and a faint flame came out of their bodies, and they rolled their bodies on the ground in agony, until the flames came out of their mouths, and the people slowly stopped moving in the burning pain."
Lan'er, this is revenge, he has come to take revenge, you have to be careful" The words that her father struggled to shout at her in her sleep before he died still faintly echoed in her ears, Concubine Lan stretched out her hand to cover her ears and shook her head vigorously, muttering to herself, "No, no, I am in the harem, no one can enter the palace to harm me" The palace maid's hurried footsteps sounded outside the curtain, "Niangniang, you have been awakened by a nightmare again, or the slave maid will go and cook you a bowl of soothing soup." ”Concubine Lan's voice relieved Concubine Lan, and she put her hand covering her ears, "No need, you just guard outside." ”"Yes."
There was one more person in the hall, and Concubine Lan felt more calm, so she lay down again, but as long as she closed her eyes, her mind was full of the scene in Fang Cai's dream.The night was long, and she had to spend the long night with her eyes open.When I woke up the next day, I was naturally tired, pale and haggard.His Majesty came to visit, and she naturally couldn't say that she had nightmares every night, so she had to show a bitter and sad expression.Emperor Mingde only thought that she was emaciated because she was too sad, and it was rare to stay for a long time, and comforted people.In the past, Concubine Lan would still be happy and moved by the emperor's comfort, but now, because there is a deadly thread in her heart all the time, she can't even pull out a moving smile.As soon as Emperor Mingde left, Zong Jue came to visit him again."
Erchen has seen his mother."
Concubine Lan looked at her son in front of her who was getting more and more gloomy, if it was usual, she would have admonished a few words of hatred that iron does not become steel, but now she is not in the mood.beckoned people to sit down, "Jue'er, how is Xia Mansion now?"
”"Xia Mansion is now Xia Yancheng's decision, I went to Xia Mansion once yesterday, and he seems to be interested in separating the family."
Concubine Lan was shocked when she heard this, and another sadness hit her heart, "Father and eldest brother are gone, and our Xia family is going to decline." ”Zong Jue pursed his lips, "Mother, I doubt that the death of my grandfather and uncle will be "" Shut up. ”Before he could finish speaking, Concubine Lan stopped him loudly, and then waved her hand, "Go back to your prince's mansion if you have nothing to do, and be careful." ”Now even she doesn't dare to guarantee whether the murderer will attack her son, even if Jue'er did not participate in the incident back then.After all, she made that decision.Xia Fu.In addition to Xia Yanjin, the eldest son, Xia Ge Lao also has a second son, Xia Yancheng, and three concubines.With the death of Xia Ge Lao and Xia Yanjin, the identity of the principal of Xia Mansion fell on Xia Yancheng.As a son who has not been valued since he was a child, Xia Yancheng has a grudge against his father and jealousy of his eldest brother, but he never thought that the two of them would be killed like this.As soon as the father and eldest brother died, half of this huge summer mansion collapsed, and the sister-in-law closed the courtyard and fasted and recited the Buddha.Xia Yancheng was picked up by his wife, and he also had the idea of separating the family.The eldest brother's death, in addition to the sister-in-law's dowry, the property is also in his hands, as for the eldest brother's concubines, seeing that the sister-in-law is not ready to take care of it, he naturally doesn't want to care.As for the three younger brothers, each of them shared some money.So after Xia Ge Lao and Xia Yanjin were buried for less than half a month, the entire Xia Mansion fell apart.was kicked out of the house, and Mrs.
Yu held her son, who was still ignorant beside her, and she was also at a loss.Naturally, she didn't dare to live in this summer mansion, since Xia Yanjinshi's death, she was trembling every day, for fear that she would suddenly die so inexplicably.But now that she's really kicked out, she's still panicking.In the past, she relied on her son to cling to Xia Yanjin, so what about the future?
Where should they go from where they are orphans and widows?"
Mother, where are we going now?
Qi'er is hungry!
”Her son's voice woke up Mrs.
Yu's still somewhat confused head, she looked down at her son's face, touched the jewelry and silver tickets she had saved over the years in the package, and took a deep breath, "Mother will take you to dinner first." ”When she arrived at the restaurant, she subconsciously prepared to order a large table of good dishes as before, but fortunately, she soon came to her senses again and ordered two dishes and meat that were not too expensive.Fortunately, the child was very hungry all the way over, and he didn't pick on this dish as delicious as at home, so the mother and son ate the dishes on the table.The stomach is full, and the most urgent thing at the moment is to solve the problem of living, but when she came to the capital, she found the Xia Mansion directly by carriage, and lived in the capital for so many years, and went out to visit some jewelry shops, rouge shops and cloth villages, or some restaurants.Until the evening, the mother and son were very tired, and they did not find a satisfactory place to live, so they had to go to a nearby inn to ask for a room.As everyone knows, she walked the streets and alleys looking for a place to live that afternoon with a large bag of jewelry and silver tickets, and she had already been targeted.In the dead of night, a hole was opened in the roof of the inn room where the mother and son lived, and the thief climbed down the rope silently and stole her package.When Mrs.
Yu woke up at dawn and found that the package had been stolen, how could she cry and grab the ground.But no matter how much I cry, this package can't come back.The report to the official was also fruitless.The son was hungry and had no money to live in the hotel, but fortunately, before Mrs.
Yu completely collapsed, she finally thought of this huge Shangjing City, and she still knew someone."
Let's go, Qi'er, my mother will take you to Aunt Dong to help."
Prince's Mansion, Main Courtyard.Mama hurriedly walked behind the crown princess Chang who was standing on the pavilion to feed the fish, "Your Highness, the late Xiaoge Old Xia Yanjin's concubine Lady Yu, is now outside the mansion gate, and wants to ask to see Dong Liangdi." ”Chang's action of sprinkling fish food paused, "Oh?
This Xia family is really cold-hearted, this person just died, and the lady's son was swept away?
”She clapped her hands and turned around, smiling casually, "I remember that this Jade Lady seems to be Dong Liangdi's matchmaker with the prince, right?"
”Mama nodded, "That's true." ”"Then it's no wonder that she, just a concubine, dares to knock on the door of the prince's mansion."
Chang Shi said and blinked, "Take someone to Dong Liangdi, Mama, you see how understanding I am." ”Mama: "Yes, Your Highness. ”This is also the first time that Mrs.
Yu has come to the Prince's Mansion, and she was taken by the momentum of the grandmother leading the way in front of her, so she didn't dare to look up at all.My legs were sore all the way, and I finally waited until the serious and old-fashioned voice in front of me sounded again, "In front is Dong Liangdi's courtyard, just let this lady go in by herself."
The old slave was sent here and took his leave. ”Madame Jade put down the son she was holding in her arms and looked up at the beautiful and elegant courtyard ahead.Just looking at the yard, you can see the degree of favor.She had some mixed things in her mind.I think that at the beginning, Dong Xueqing was just a young lady who lived in another house, and it was she who helped to match the bridge, so that Dong Xueqing met His Royal Highness the Prince and entered this prince's mansion.On the other hand, she herself is now reduced to being penniless and homeless.Walking to the door, Madame Jade took a deep breath and ignored the strangeness in her heart.The people in this courtyard were the last straw for her and her son.Ah Shui knocked lightly on the door and entered the warm room, and blessed Dong Xueqing, who was nesting on the soft collapse, "Liangdi, Mrs.
Yu brought her son to see you." ”"Madame Jade?"
Dong Xueqing sat up from the soft couch with her stomach in her arms, and her eyebrows couldn't help jumping.Although she was in the backyard of the Prince's Mansion, she also heard about what happened in the Xia Mansion from her subordinates.Now that Mrs.
Yu has brought her child to the Prince's Mansion to look for her for the first time, could it be that as soon as the old man of Xiaoge died, the mother and son were swept away?
She didn't want to see Madame Yu, but since the crown princess had brought people to her side, she couldn't see it.Otherwise, it would seem that she is really ruthless.Thinking about this, "Ah Shui, bring people in." ”
