Queen's Road in the Red House

The emperor looked at Empress Yang, who was dressed in the queen's crown today, and suddenly felt that he was quite unfamiliar with this wife who had been with him for more than ten years, as if he had never looked at her carefully and patiently.

Today, when the son-in-law got married, the emperor felt many feelings in his heart. Apart from missing the old man, he also felt a little guilty towards the person in front of him, so he opened his mouth to break the embarrassment: "Is the empress here for Cheng'er's marriage?"

Unexpectedly, Empress Yang hurriedly saluted, and hurriedly retreated, without even caring about answering.

The emperor was dumb, and shook his head after a while: "That's all."

Anyway, the empress is so blunt that she has a rash temper, so she should be more lenient from now on.

Seeing that the sons are getting married one by one, and the queen has become a decent mother-in-law today, she will still be given the face that should be given in the future, and she can't just walk away like she did when she was young.

--

Wake up two days later.

Xin Hongcheng compared pearl hairpins to Daiyu's temples, and Daiyu looked at the mirror, then took his hand away: "Forget it, I'll choose it myself, it doesn't look good at all."

Xin Hongcheng suddenly felt wronged: "If you wear red, I'll pick out the red one for you, isn't it right?"

Because within three days of her wedding, although Daiyu didn't wear formal clothes today, her clothes were quite gorgeous: a red-ground golden Double Happiness dress with hundreds of flowers, and on the wide sleeves was the same color image of Nine Luan Flying in Gold Silk, with bright wings and a neat neckline. Embellished with thin rice beads.At this time, what Xin Hongcheng was holding was also a huge golden hairpin with a red phoenix titled a red treasure, and Daiyu felt her neck hurt and her eyes blurred when she looked at it.

Xin Hongcheng's straight male aesthetic was rejected, so he had to put it back, and after three seconds of silence, he became happy again: "Then I will give you a thrush."

Daiyu paused the hand holding the hairpin, and said to herself: I dare not even hand over jewelry to you, let alone my eyebrows.I will go to pay my respects to the empress in a while.

So he shook his head and refused.

Xin Hongcheng had no choice but to put his chin aside and said: "You ignore me now, and I will go to court tomorrow. I get up earlier than chickens and sleep later than dogs every day, and I can't give you hairpins and thrushes. "

Daiyu smiled: "You don't need to do these things. You can sit by the side and talk with me."

Mo Ran came up to take the hairpin earrings chosen by Daiyu and put them on for her.

Xin Hongcheng nodded: "Speaking of this, I also received a special gift yesterday." The prince's wedding is a legitimate opportunity to receive gifts, and Xin Hongcheng has been soft-hearted in accepting gifts these days.

Daiyu wondered, "Special?"

Xin Hongcheng smiled and said nothing until Mo Ran stepped back, and then said to Daiyu: "There is a person like us who came to this dynasty to study history. He has never asked us for any help. This time I heard that I When I got married, I was given a piece of paper."

"He counted for me all the official crown princes who set up government offices to worship the ancestral temple in our history, a total of 150—it seems that such as the emperor's grandson and emperor's younger brother were not included—I can't figure it out Clear up his statistical method. The key point is the conclusion: 82 of these crown princes successfully ascended the throne in the end, just over half of them. The rest were either deposed or died, of course, the country also perished directly. It can be seen that the survival rate of princes is low. "

Daiyu: ...

What kind of person is this, the big wedding sent such an unlucky death statistics table.

Xin Hongcheng could still laugh: "It can be regarded as cooling me down. People, don't be too complacent. I am very grateful for this gift."

Mo Ran and the others looked very winkingly, just now they saw that the fourth prince wanted to talk privately to Daiyu, so they withdrew.

But now looking at the time clock in the outer room, Mo Ran gently knocked on the door: "Your Highness, empress, it's time to go to pay her respects to the empress."

Xin Hongcheng stretched out his hand: "Let's go. The Empress Dowager doesn't have to go to pay respects to the Buddha today. We can stay with the Empress Mother for a while and have lunch. It's a pity that I can't accompany you from tomorrow onwards, and the sister-in-law is fine. I heard that Second brother's one wife and one concubine are not easy to get along with, you don't have to let them."

Daiyu supported his hand and stood up, glanced at him and couldn't help laughing, "Why, am I just a fool to let others bully me?"

Xin Hongcheng also laughed: "Don't dare."

The two of them hadn't left the inner room when they suddenly heard a commotion at the gate of the palace, and then a young eunuch flew in with panic and fear on his face, knelt down in front of the two of them and cried: "Your Highness, the Empress is not well! The emperor declares that you will pass here!"

--

Xin Hongcheng couldn't wait to sit in the sedan chair, and forgot the rules that the prince should follow, and ran all the way from Wende Palace to Fengyi Palace.

At this time, there were already some concubines waiting in the courtyard of Fengyi Palace, and Xin Hongcheng didn't bother to salute, and went directly to the inner room.

The emperor's face was gloomy, and he was furious facing the kneeling Wu Tai doctor: "How could the queen be so ill! What use do I want you to be!"

Physician Wu lay on the ground trembling.

Seeing Xin Hongcheng barging in, the emperor closed his eyes: "Cheng'er, go and see the queen."

Nurse Zou and Jing Su beside the bed moved away, with dull tears on their faces.

Xin Hongcheng was a little afraid to go up.

Empress Yang was lying on the bed, except that her face was a little pale, and she couldn't see anything unusual. Xin Hongcheng tried his pulse with trembling hands, and then suddenly turned his head and asked, "Who said that the mother's mother is not well? Why is she breathing and her heart beating?" It will be bad! Cursing the mother of the country is a crime!"

Physician Wu fell on the ground and said with difficulty: "Return to Your Highness, the empress suddenly fainted this morning, and when the minister arrived, she was already unconscious and unable to wake up. The empress has suffered from qi stagnation and blood stasis due to her wide body and fat body in the past two years. I don't know if it's because I'm tired or I'm stimulated by great sorrow and great joy, but now the wind and evil have entered the body, the phlegm is hot and the intestines are full, and the moss is greasy..."

The emperor scolded: "Don't memorize medical books, just tell me why it can't be cured!"

Doctor Wu's face was sweating profusely: "Your Majesty, people with autism usually have mouth crooked, eyes slanted or even half-body paralyzed, and then they can't speak. If the empress is like this, in fact, there are still three-point cures, and it can't be improved with medication. The eccentric lady passed away and couldn't wake up again, and the minister has just administered the medicine, and it's all muddy cows into the sea."

When he said this, he also felt that his family and life were accounted for. He couldn't help crying, and he simply broke the jar and said the truth: "The emperor, the empress is still alive now, but if people can't eat and drink, naturally there will be nothing left. The fate of the next seven or eight days is over."

Water can also be force fed, but there is no gastric tube in this era, and the food is absolutely impossible to deliver.I can only see how long the ginseng soup can hang my life for a few days.

In fact, the emperor knew that it would be difficult after hearing about the queen's illness, but he just asked the imperial physician to explain it to Xin Hongcheng again.

Although my heart is sad at this time, I am still ready to follow the process: "Let's prepare things first and rejoice."

Xin Hongcheng stood up suddenly: "Father, the queen mother is still here, why do you have to prepare the coffin! I don't believe it! No one is allowed to prepare it!" Then he pulled Wu Taiyi with one hand: "You are a doctor, why don't you move, you continue to treat Acupuncture, irrigation! Hurry up!"

The emperor only felt his chest congested and sore: "Cheng'er, you are so sad and confused."

Xin Hongcheng stood blankly for a while like a machine that had been powered off, and then suddenly looked at Imperial Physician Wu, his eyes were so bright that people dare not look directly at him: "I know that there are many reasons for Fengxie closed disease! Take good care of her, why did she suddenly have a symptom, did someone harm her!"

The emperor was startled.

Imperial Physician Wu was also stunned for a while, and then said: "Your Highness, it is not easy to check if the poison enters the body, not to mention that the pulse condition of the empress is clearly closed."

Xin Hongcheng interrupted him: "Suddenly fainting, hemiplegia, crooked tongue and aphasia, red face—these symptoms are not present in the mother, but they are the pulse of autism, and it is a coincidence that just two days after my wedding, Does Imperial Physician Wu think it's a coincidence?"

Regarding Empress Yang's health, Xin Hongcheng had been worried since early on, and had asked Zhou Xuanwei many times, but at this moment he just felt that something was wrong.

From the moment Xin Hongcheng lost his composure, Qin Wu quietly went over and closed the door, guarding outside himself, not letting anyone approach him.

At this time, I vaguely heard the conversation inside, and couldn't help but feel lucky that I was very spiritual.

There was a look of remorse on the face of Imperial Physician Wu: "His Royal Highness, originally the Empress Xuanchen had a pulse check every two days, but since Your Highness was about to get married, the empress said that it was inauspicious to announce the Imperial Physician when she was overjoyed, and I saw that the empress's pulse was peaceful that day...so I haven't checked my mother's pulse for four days. I deserve death."

Xin Hongcheng's heart sank.

But at this time, the young disciple who was carrying the medical box behind Imperial Physician Wu suddenly spoke, his voice trembling like a sieve: "Huihuang, Your Majesty, Caomin has something to say. The empress may have been poisoned by someone."

Physician Wu was dumbfounded, fearing that he would be involved in the battle in the palace, he quickly kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty, this child has only been with the minister for half a year, and he has always been only responsible for preparing recipes for the empress, let alone the pulse case. Don’t let him move. He’s not a hospital person nowadays, but a famous apprentice recommended by a local place.”

If it weren't for the current situation, Xin Hongcheng would still be able to think about why so many traditional Chinese medicine traditions have been lost, which shows that there is no need to cherish oneself.Physician Wu is obviously suppressing this young man who has just entered the imperial hospital. He only asks people to prepare recipes and use them as chefs.

But now Xin Hongcheng is like a drowning man catching driftwood, waving his hand to stop Dr. Wu, and only staring at the young doctor: "Say it! Just talk about the slightest abnormality, it doesn't matter if you make a mistake."

The young doctor Yin calmed down a little and kowtowed: "Caomin feels that his medical skills are no worse than others, but because of his low qualifications, after he became popular twice, the imperial doctor ordered Caomin to carry a medicine box on his back. I... Caomin was unwilling In the past few days, when I came to the empress's palace to deliver food orders, I dared to ask my empress to see her. The empress was kind, she kindly allowed the grass people to feel her pulse, and gave her a reward, saying that if she had the real ability, she would decide to keep the grass people in the palace. Hospital. Caomin is grateful, so when she comes to deliver food orders in the past few days, she will feel her pulse, because Caomin is not an imperial physician, so it is not a taboo."

He swallowed his saliva: "The last time was before dinner yesterday. The empress was in high spirits, her pulse was calm, and she had absolutely no symptoms!"

"Besides, the empress had chatted with this aunt once. Speaking of the marriage of His Royal Highness, she must take good care of her body and wait for her grandchildren in the future. She will not be as greedy as before, not taboo in winter and summer, and ruin her body."

"Your Majesty, Your Highness, Your Majesty is only about thirty people. With such an open mind, her pulse condition has been fine for several days. It seems that a sudden wind and evil enters the body and loses consciousness. Of course, there is a third possibility that fate caused the sudden sudden illness. However, I feel that [-]% of them are man-made disasters!"

The emperor's eyebrows were almost twisted into a knot, and he looked at Ms. Zou: "What did he say is true?"

Lady Zou knelt down and said: "Back to the emperor, it's all the truth. The empress has a kind heart, and she's in a good mood recently. She doesn't take this little doctor Yin's private request as an offense, but is willing to help."

The emperor took a deep breath, and shouted in full spirit: "Qin Wu! Come in! Let me search and find out! Let's see who has eaten the bear's heart and leopard gall, and the queen dares to kill him!" Everything that the queen has used in the past three days, especially everything that was imported from yesterday to this morning, will be handed over to the imperial hospital for inspection, and any suspects, no matter who they are, will go to the Department of Punishment and confess to them!"

If poison is used, there will always be traces.

"Father, please leave first." Xin Hongcheng had calmed down at this time: "Don't startle the snake."

He looked at Empress Yang's slightly swollen and pale face, his heart was twisted like a knife, but he was extremely calm, as if one of himself was crying bitterly, while the other was calmly choosing the most correct path.

"If someone destroys the evidence or even jumps over the wall to harm others, the matter will be difficult to deal with."

Xin Hongcheng looked at the nearly collapsed Imperial Physician Wu and Dr. Yin: "Outsiders don't know that Dr. Yin exists, and the perpetrators only know that Imperial Physician Wu hasn't checked the empress's pulse for four days. Why don't we just pretend that we don't know the empress? If you make a mistake first, then you will make a mistake, and only say that Wu Taiyi's treatment is not effective, so he is temporarily imprisoned in Fengyi Palace and tries his best to save the queen, and make atonement."

"Father can also ask Eunuch Qin to prepare... the funeral, to keep people's eyes covered, and to investigate the rest of the matter in private."

"As long as the antidote is found, the queen mother will be fine!"

The emperor's expression was a bit complicated: "Cheng'er, I will investigate, but you have to be more open. Not to mention that the queen may not be poisoned by others, even if it is, many diseases cannot be cured by manpower..."

The circles of Xin Hongcheng's eyes were red, which made his face paler: "Father, my son doesn't want to lose his mother anymore."

These words were like a stab in the emperor's heart, and it took him a long time to say: "Okay, this matter is up to you."

The emperor walked out of the door, and sadly said to all the concubines who had already gathered in Fengyi Palace: "The empress is suddenly ill, I'm afraid it's not good, please notify the Ministry of Internal Affairs to prepare."

Regardless of whether it was true or false, there was a burst of crying outside.

It made the emperor even more tired of crying: "The empress is still here, what are you crying for? Go back to the palaces and live in peace behind closed doors! Starting from the noble concubine, if I want to let me know who is still walking around and causing trouble these days, I will go directly to the cold palace to wait." Let's go!"

Inside the house, Xin Hongcheng squatted down and looked at the kneeling Imperial Physician Wu: "I am not joking what I just said just now, Imperial Physician Wu. After you can find out the real culprit and cure your mother, you will be credited with atonement—you have a personal virtue It’s a disadvantage, but medical skills are a well-deserved Imperial Physician Order, and this position will still be yours in the future. But if you can’t find out the poison, and can’t prepare the antidote..."

Xin Hongcheng didn't finish his sentence, but just patted him on the shoulder: "You can do it yourself."

This is more scary than talking, after all, the most frightening thing is people's own imagination.

But Lady Zou and Jing Su have already started to arrange for people to seal the palace, and at the same time bring all the things that Queen Yang has imported within three days.

Fortunately, the harem has strict rules, and the imperial food must be tested for poison, and what the masters can't finish eating will be rewarded to the servants, so the food should be fine.On the contrary, the snacks and tea fruits that are usually used are more suspicious. Fortunately, apart from those for people to eat, there are still some leftovers.

Lady Zou cheered herself up from her grief, and tried to recall: "Besides, on the day of Your Highness's wedding, Princess Rui once took two pills of Rendan from her purse for her to eat due to the extreme heat of her highness's wedding. However, the other imperial orders also ate from the same purse. The pills that came out."

"In addition, Concubine Kang will make snacks and send them here every day. In the past few days, she has even privately sent a few Xiyi candies every day. The empress thought that the slaves and servants would not know-now there are two hidden in the empress' dressing table, which can be checked .”

"In addition, Li Guiren's palace and Concubine Zhuang's palace have sent snacks."

"The day after your Highness got married, the fourth concubine also brought a fairy cake from Wende Palace. This is also an old practice in the palace." After finishing speaking, Lady Zou hurriedly explained: "This servant is not suspicious of the concubine, but the prince. The concubine has just entered the palace, and she said that she must not be tampered with..."

Xin Hongcheng nodded: "Everyone must investigate, and I will personally investigate in Wende Palace."

--

In the scorching summer, Daiyu felt her hands were as cold as ice.

Seeing Xin Hongcheng coming in, she rushed to meet him, but she didn't dare to ask.

How could the empress empress who had teased Yan Yan yesterday suddenly become ill?

Just now she was standing in the courtyard of Fengyi Palace together with Zhou Ling and others. Because the emperor had a fit and the concubines were not allowed to stay, they could only go back to Wende Palace and wait quietly.

Xin Hongcheng held her hand, and his heart was a little more stable. After explaining his doubts, he said: "Yu'er, you go to Fengyi Palace to live temporarily. I don't feel at ease outside. Now it is the safest place. I am the son of the eldest son, and it is only right and proper for you to serve as my concubine to attend to my mother's illness."

Daiyu was alarmed, but she knew that Xin Hongcheng might have a lot of things to think about right now, so she nodded without saying much, "Don't worry, I will take good care of myself and my queen mother."

Xin Hongcheng saw that she had changed out of her fine clothes, and put on simple but not plain clothes suitable for sick people.Thinking of something in my heart, I stretched out my arms and hugged her with worry: "In the next few days, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you."

Soon his fears became reality.

After Empress Yang was in a coma for a day and a night, rumors spread in the palace, saying that the fourth concubine was the fate of a lone star, not to mention her father and mother, and within three days after entering the palace, the empress fell ill. His ability to overcome people.

Rumors spread like wings.

Xin Hongcheng came in from the outside with a warm body, and after visiting Empress Yang, he sat blankly beside her bed, burying his face in his hands.

Daiyu's heart was sore, she had never seen Xin Hongcheng look so dejected, his back was straight even when he was beaten.

She sat beside him, silently comforting him with her companionship.

Xin Hongcheng's voice was deep and low: "I'm really useless. I think I'm sure of winning the business for a few years, but who knows that I won't be able to protect my mother's safety, nor my wife's reputation in just one day."

Daiyu said softly, "I've heard all the gossip outside. There are such rumors, you should be happy."

The various details of Xin Hongcheng's wedding almost showed Emperor Xuanhe's intention to establish a crown prince and the acquiescence of the Supreme Emperor.Although the palace people like to chew their tongues, but this will obviously offend the death of the fourth prince. Unless someone stirs up the flames, no one will spread the word everywhere.

What's more, Emperor Xuanhe just lost his temper and ordered all the palaces to guard their doors. Wouldn't it be unusual for someone to go up against the wind at this time?

"Someone deliberately provokes you with rumors, it must be a guilty conscience."

Empress Yang fell ill, other people in the palace would believe it, only the instigator would feel guilty, fearing that the emperor and Xin Hongcheng would catch something, so he deliberately tested them.

If Xin Hongcheng wanted to wash away his wife's reputation, he had to produce evidence to prove that Queen Yang was harmed by others, it was a man-made disaster, and it was not a matter of fate.

The correspondence between the past two years has played a decisive role today.

The two have already understood each other's thinking mode, and Daiyu has also known the situation in the palace early, so that they will not be helpless when sudden changes occur.At this time, the two of them connected with each other without any further thought, and they thought of one thing.

Xin Hongcheng snorted coldly: "That's right, if I can't bear it, I will fall into the trap, and if I endure it or don't find out the truth at all, then you will bear the ominous reputation in vain." He clenched his fist : "However, if it is said that my mother was murdered by someone in the past, I only have a [-]% guess, but now when the rumors come out, I am [-]% sure."

Daiyu comforted her, "Yes, so we should be happy. It doesn't matter if you have a false name, as long as you can use this to catch the person who murdered your mother."

Xin Hongcheng saw that it was only a day and a night, and now Daiyu's eyes were pale and bruised, and she felt pain in her heart, and her eyes were filled with hostility: "When I find out about this, I will definitely heal my mother and return your innocence. .But now I won’t just sit and suffer.”

--

Rumors swirled around, and at night, things changed a bit: Why is the fourth prince's concubine's life bad? Maybe it's the fourth prince himself who killed his mother. Didn't his biological mother, Empress Xiaoyi, die young?

In the early morning of the second day, the rumors seemed to have undergone a plastic surgery, and the changes were even more severe: it may not have anything to do with the four princes and concubines, but the emperor's restraint of his wife.

When it was noon, the rumors turned directly into the fact that the Supreme Emperor was specifically targeting his daughter-in-law. It seemed that among the seven or eight princes, only one of the original spouses was still there. Oh, it can be seen that the root is still with the Supreme Emperor!

Rumors have developed to this point, and the people who first spread the rumors are stupid.

Well, what's the matter with the Supreme Emperor!

Sure enough, the giants who were pointed out as "Minggeke people" were very angry. The emperor spoke, the emperor seconded, and the empress dowager presided over the purge of the harem when the empress was critically ill. They were punished to mow grass in the palace, and the main criminals were punished to herd sheep in the northwest.

This is still to pray for the queen, otherwise, it is estimated that all of them will be sent to the Punishment Department, and many lives will be lost.

It has been less than three days since Empress Yang became seriously ill, and the palace is already full of storms.

It doesn't matter who is good and who is bad, the important thing is that everyone can smell the breath of big changes.
