[Red Chamber] Daiyu Reborn

Nongqin was introduced into a remote palace room by the palace people, and next to it was a dark room, where the palace people who made mistakes were imprisoned.

Nongqin sat down by the chair and waited for the guards to bring tightly bundled people to her, including court ladies and inner eunuchs—the guards belonged to the outer court, and the empress dowager arranged interrogation alone.In short, either before and after the Qixi Festival, for some reason, they happened to be working or wandering around the assassination site, or they had a long tongue recently, chewing on gossip and gossip.Not many, because Yun Gui's rebellion case first, and Jia Jing's arrest, the palace has been rectified several times, and many people have been cleaned up.There are also some innocent people who were dispatched to serve as errands in the imperial mausoleum just because they knew something they shouldn't know, and they were isolated from the world.

The remaining dozens of people are innocent and harbor "royal filth", which is only "possible", but has become a hidden danger.The royal family even suspects that there are still fish that slipped through the net, and the second princess is identifying them one by one at this time.

Because, her sister-in-law of the concubine only said this: "Pick out the people you think are familiar, especially the people you met the night Li Ying was injured."

Nongqin's face was very pale, without blood, with his usual rebellious eyes, sitting in a dark room, alone, a little gloomy, and a little pitiful.

The author has something to say:

The escorting guards were all silent, and Nongqin was also silent. When they saw someone who seemed familiar, they stretched out their arms and pointed straight, and the guards escorted them to another dark room——those who were not identified, they still escorted them back to the original dark room.

Amidst the stagnation, only the escorted and identified palace people occasionally uttered a few grievance cries, God is sorry, the empress dowager tied up all the people and handed them over to the crown princess for disposal, but she didn't tell them why at all!

Behind Nongqin is a carved wooden screen, which is simple and heavy, and a green old tree is hollowed out in it, just enough to allow people behind the screen to see the front clearly.The room was dark and protected from light, so it was not easy for the people in front to find out how many people were hiding behind the screen.

Holding his breath and not daring to make the slightest sound, the old Shang Gong of the Shang Gong Bureau looked at the princess next to him worriedly——in this way, can it really be "identified"?

Daiyu didn't speak, just stared at her.Another inner eunuch was escorted in. Seeing that the clothes were still of a certain grade, he struggled with extreme annoyance. His clothes were wrinkled and yelled, "Why tie me up? Our family is, but..."

He couldn't go on, because he looked up and saw Nongqin, his eyes were wide open, as if he had seen a ghost, and he was extremely horrified—then, his head that had been up all the time finally lowered down, dejectedly, like a dead dog completely drooped down.

Nongqin couldn't help frowning, she didn't know this eunuch.

Daiyu behind the screen sighed softly.It can be seen that the eunuch "recognized" the second princess, or in other words, he finally realized why he suffered this crime because of some stupid thing.

He revealed his stuff and accepted his fate.

It was really "identified", and the old Shang Gong finally let go of his hanging heart. Just as he was about to say something, the Crown Princess shook her head and said softly, "Wait until the interrogation is over."

Afterwards, there was another court lady who saw the princess as if she had seen a ghost, but she was not as well-behaved as the eunuch. After she realized it, she burst into tears and pointed at the sky: "I didn't say anything, what happened that night... If I dare to reveal a word , it’s called tongue piercing!”

I don't know if this kind of swearing is true or not.

Lao Shanggong couldn't tell the difference, and Daiyu didn't say anything, she sighed quietly, turned around and went to the darkrooms on both sides, and escorted the people identified by Nongqin and those who were not identified.

Daiyu treated them no differently, and ordered Lao Shanggong to "proclaim the decree": "By the order of the Empress Dowager, I will transfer you to the imperial mausoleum."

Imperial Mausoleum - is a dead place that is quieter than Qingjing Nunnery, and it is also a place that can only be seen sideways.

For a while, there was a lot of crying and screaming, and Daiyu couldn't bear to hear it, bit her lip, and slowly continued: "Unless you can identify who is spreading rumors outside and slandering the name of the Li County Lord. .”

The eunuchs and maids were dumbfounded again, but the threat of the imperial mausoleum was on their heads, so how could there be room for them to speculate again and again?Immediately there was another quarrel, and I don't know whether to be frank and lenient or to talk nonsense, and unexpectedly "confessed" four or five more, all of whom were also screaming and saying, "Nonsense will make the servant's intestines rot"!

Daiyu turned her eyes away, and said to the old Shang Gong: "All these people, and the two who were disrespectful before the second princess, will all be sent to the Inner Palace for scrutiny. As for the others...for the time being, they will be locked up for now. Let's talk when it's over."

Lao Shanggong finally couldn't bear to ask: "Crown Princess, why did you specially ask the second princess to 'identify'?" He threatened them under the guise of the imperial mausoleum, not afraid that they would not tell the truth.

Daiyu turned around to look at the dark palace, and met the indifferent and questioning eyes of the thin and frail little princess.Daiyu nodded with the little girl first, and then said softly: "Maybe I am worrying unnecessarily, and I always want to confirm how much 'truth' those nonsense people know."

Do you know that this matter is related to the second princess, the crown prince, and the Supreme Emperor... If you know, why don't you tell me about it; if you don't know, what good is it to gossip?

What I am most afraid of is that the haze of a year ago has not yet ended, and the poison is still lingering to this day.

……

The result of the interrogation by the Inner Palace Secretary was reported back to Daiyu very quickly: the eunuch had a good relationship with several courtiers in private, got drunk at a banquet, and had no intention of goingssip about the quiet palace search at the Qixi Palace banquet Go out; the elder brother of the palace lady is a petty official, the best at digging camps, always trying to find out from the sister about the affairs of the palace to play around with the wind, and I don't know if it was intentional or not, so he also inquired about Li Ying's injury.

The situation of several other people is similar, and it seems absurd on the surface.

...with hidden worries.

...Because, the courtiers were involved again.

Daiyu immediately reported the matter to the Empress Dowager, since the previous court was involved, and the Crown Princess could no longer intervene without authorization.

Then, when Daiyu returned to the East Palace, Mu Fangying and Lan Yiqian greeted her.

Daiyu hurriedly asked, "How is Li Ying?"

Lan Yiqian continued to wrestle her wrists angrily, and Mu Fangying sighed: "It's hard to stop crying, her face is chapped, and it hurts to look at it, County Lord Xue is helping her with medicine."

Daiyu frowned, and walked into the inner room quickly, and saw Baochai helping Li Ying press two balls of handkerchiefs on her eyes, and mixed a cup of tea in her hand, and a maid beside the two was twisting the silk handkerchief, dipping it in With the cold tea on the table, gently wipe it on Li Ying's swollen cheeks.

Tea can relieve the pain of cracking. Wash your face with tea first, and then apply ointment, the effect is better.

Even though Li Ying was crying too hard, even though Baochai's movements were light enough, she was still trembling and gasping for breath in a low voice.

Daiyu stepped forward, took Li Ying's hand, removed the veil covering her eyes, and said softly but firmly: "I will definitely give you an explanation for this matter."

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..."

Li Ying sobbed and thanked, the little girl was pure in heart, she only felt a little bit of hope.But Mu Fangying frowned indistinctly, and happened to exchange glances with Baochai, and the two scheming girls both realized that this matter is not that simple.

Lan Yiqian also wrinkled her nose and clenched her fists, the crystal lotus on her wrist seemed to be stagnant with too much force - she wanted to beat someone even more.

Daiyu believed that the Empress Dowager would be able to handle the matter well.Of course, the Empress Dowager would not intervene in politics without authorization, so she would report the results of the interrogation to the emperor again.

In the imperial study room, Yun Shuo was squinting his eyes to read the battle report of the Great Victory in Southern Xinjiang. To be honest, he was a little confused by his showy fourth brother;After hearing the words from Ningkang Palace, Yun Shuo showed a sinister expression, and ordered: "Call the prince back, the Criminal Department has accumulated so many cases, it won't be settled in a day or two."

The guard who went out to call for someone felt helpless, seeing the emperor in a bad mood again.Actually, it’s not the Ministry of Criminal Justice’s fault for accumulating so many cases. Last year, it was Yungui first and then Jia Jing. Just trying these two treason cases had to take turns day and night, and I really didn’t care about other things; What happened, the emperor pushed him out... I don't know if the anger this time is carried by the Ministry of punishment or by the crown prince?

There is no way, the emperor called.Yun Ya had no choice but to put down the half-turned case file in his hand and go back to the palace. He received the confession from the Inner Palace Secretary thrown down by his father. After reading it carefully, Yun Ya's expression was stern—it was the courtier who brought up this matter at this time. ...Could it be, who wants to make an article?

It's no wonder that the emperor and his son thought too much, just say that last year, first they fought for the foundation of the country, and then the prince of a country was forced to become a monk in a Taoist temple.People's words are really scary. I don't know what the direction of the wind will change someday. We must guard against it.

There is also a suspicion that the snake will not die, or the fish will slip through the net... Jia Jing's gang of monsters and monsters.

However, Yun Ya was more worried about another thing - this was found out by the Inner Palace Secretary.The inner palace is now managed by Daiyu.

Yun Shuo couldn't see that his son was wandering, snorted, and said, "Go back first, and ask clearly." Some things still need to pay attention to the son's heart, otherwise, the donkey... no, it's the son What should I do if I quit the job?

"Yes, my son is resigning." Without being hypocritical, Yun Ya really wanted to go back and have a look.

Hurriedly returning to the East Palace, it was already dusk, and several county lords had already left.

When Yun Ya walked into the house, he saw Daiyu sitting quietly on the soft couch, the gilded incense burner beside her was burning with purple smoke, the smoke was graceful and graceful, like a piece of light and faint melancholy.

Seeing Yun Ya approaching, Daiyu got up immediately, but was pushed back immediately—Yun Ya put his hand around the person slightly, reached out and hooked Gou Daiyu's nose, and asked with a smile on purpose: "What's the matter, did you see me?" Are you in a bad mood instead?"

"Of course not. I'm just... a little worried." Once I have something on my mind, I don't even care about being teased.

Yun Ya hooked the tip of her nose again, seemingly thoughtful: "It's because of those rumors about last year's Qixi Festival...Are you scared?"

Daiyu finally came to her senses, blinked her eyes and stared back: "I'm afraid I won't marry you!" Marrying you will never end.I don't know whether to give up the busy second half of my life and change to a husband who is with me for the rest of my life.

I just know... I can't bear it.

Finally got back to normal.Yun Ya was finally relieved, leaned over, and looked at Dai Yu's forehead, "Don't worry, I will investigate this matter."

Their foreheads were pressed against each other, and they were very close, brewing a trace of ambiguity, but more of it was the tenderness of ironing.Daiyu focused her eyes, looked at herself clearly in Yun Ya's eyes, and couldn't help but nodded slightly: "...um."

Squeeze the soft palm, if someone knows each other, there is no need to be afraid.

……

Under the pressure, the atmosphere in the East Palace finally regained some harmony temporarily, but it would be pitiful if it didn't adjust in time——

He Zhi was robbed by a tigress on the way home after changing shifts, and then...he was punched hard in the stomach.

Can't call back, it's his fiancée Lan Yiqian.The man who beat his wife is doomed to be dumped. Shou Anbo has a bad reputation due to his many criminal records. At least one word "poor" can't be escaped.

I can only rub my stomach and smile bitterly: "Are you angry?"

"I'm so angry!" Lan Yiqian also gritted her teeth, "Jia Jing is dead, and it's still not peaceful!"

He Zhi's wry smile deepened, and he was punched... Was it really because of his "criminal record" being too serious?

The black history of the ancestral dark army recorded a lifetime, following the wrong master is too pitiful!

……

In fact, Shou Anbo is considered lucky. His fiancée has a big heart, and occasionally he gets awkward, so it's okay to beat him up to vent his anger.

What I am most afraid of is those who are always awkward, arrogant and prejudiced.

In Princess Nongyue's mansion, Her Royal Highness snuggled up on the soft couch and rubbed the cat, the traitor cat who had just happily chewed the mint flowers. She used a lot of strength, and the poor cat screamed "Meow", and Nongyue Just staring at people: "Hey, you came here in a hurry, what exactly are you trying to say?"

Look at it, I was disgusted again... Xiao Ruofan sighed in his heart again, he is also a son-in-law and also a marquis, why is his luck so much different from that of Marquis Dingyuan, why can't he meet a virtuous and virtuous man Good princess?

Alright, let's get down to business: "I heard that Li Ying county magistrate..."

"I see." Nongyue cut him off, "Father asked the crown prince to handle this matter, I suspect that Jia Jing and the rest of the party..."

Xiao Ruofan was taken aback, "Jia Jing?"

Nong Yue was also taken aback by him, she really didn't expect: "You didn't suspect Jia Jing?" It stands to reason that this kind-hearted guy shouldn't be so dull, "Then... what do you think?"

"This……"

Xiao Ruofan couldn't help but hesitate to speak.

But Nong Yue was aroused with great curiosity, and of course she glared ferociously: "Tell me if you have something to say, or I will ask someone to beat you out!"

...Why is it so difficult to coax.

Xiao Ruofan cleared his throat, and said seriously, "Have you ever thought that there is another possibility?"

"What is possible?"

"I have been a servant of the Ministry of Rites, and I know a little about Mr. Yu's family who is married to Nan'an Palace..."

I almost forgot that the old Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites is your boss!Listening to what he meant, Nongyue couldn't help guessing, her face was a little weird: "You don't mean to say that Yu deliberately wanted to ruin Li Ying's reputation?"

"This..." Xiao Ruofan was also not sure, frowning and told in deliberation, "Do you know that Yu Cheng once spent a lot of money for the oiran in Qiongfang Tower, and made a vow of 'when the gold list is named, the wedding night'?"

(Again, this is really not a conspiracy, please don't have hope for meow's integrity...)
