[Qing Chuan] Gongdou system of black lotus

Gu Qianqian doesn't like to make trouble, but she is not afraid of trouble.

The current situation seems to be unfavorable to her, but Gu Qianqian does not do bad things and is not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door. She agreed: "The empress dowager is right, you should investigate carefully, and this matter must not be left alone!"

Hearing what she said, Qianlong felt a lot better. Concubine Xian dared to investigate this matter, so this matter may have nothing to do with her.Qianlong also didn't want Concubine Xian to really have anything to do with this matter.

"I will let people investigate thoroughly." Qianlong said decisively.

The queen lowered her head, her palms were as cold as her heart.

As the Ninth Five-Year Lord, what did Qianlong want to investigate? Unless he really did everything he could, it would be really hard to fool him. The hands and feet are coming.

Without saying a word, she followed the messenger to Yikun Palace.

She came early today, and when she arrived, she saw Qianlong and the queen there. After the ceremony, Qianlong gave a seat, and Gu Qianqian sat down on the chair, thinking deeply, she was wondering who did the eighth elder brother's business of.

After thinking about it for a long time, she didn't come up with any clues. This time, when investigating this matter, Qianlong's people were useless, so he used his own people. This shows that he attaches great importance to this matter. Everyone in Yikun Palace All the people were arrested and interrogated, and it was extremely difficult for others to know the situation.

It didn't take long before everyone arrived.

Only then did Qianlong put down the teacup, and said to Li Yu, "Bring me here."

"Cha." Li Yu agreed to go, and brought a little eunuch up after a while.

The little eunuch was dragged up, his face was covered with blood stains, he looked very pitiful, his eyes were closed, he looked like he was breathing more air than breathing in, Qianlong said to Li Yu: "Wake me up. "

This person had received a lot of punishment, Li Yu was afraid that he would accidentally kill him, so he asked someone to bring a basin of cold water over, and drenched his head.

Pour cold water in the winter, it will almost instantly freeze people into a smart place.

The little eunuch woke up from the cold and stinging pain. He opened his eyes, and when he saw Qianlong, there was a look of fear on his face, "Long, long live."

"Repeat what you said earlier." Qianlong said.

The little eunuch shivered, the pain had made him numb, he said in a hoarse voice: "Slave, this slave was infatuated for a while, and he came up with the idea of ​​harming Eighth Brother because he wanted to avenge Mrs. Shu Gui."

Mr. Shugui?

After hearing this name for the first time in two or three years, everyone in the room showed stunned expressions.

Not to mention they were surprised, even Gu Qianqian was stunned. She had guessed countless people in the past few days, even the most unlikely Wei Guiren, but she didn't expect that it would be because of Shu Guiren.

"Long Live Lord, I'm afraid this dog slave pulled up the cover of Mr. Shu Gui just to cover up for some people." Concubine Jia spoke quickly, and immediately questioned without even thinking about it. When she said this, she still glanced at Gu Qianqian Taking a look, he looked very suspicious that the little eunuch was from Gu Qianqian.

"I asked people to investigate this matter." Qianlong's tone was a little displeased, and he glanced at the concubine Jia.

Concubine Jia looked a little embarrassed, and smiled embarrassingly, "The concubine also finds this strange."

"There is nothing strange about this." Li Yu explained in a deep voice, "This little eunuch once received help from Mr. Shu Gui, and since then he has always remembered Mr. Shu's kindness in his heart. He was jealous in his heart when the concubine was poisoned. Well, the empress didn't intercede for Mr. Shu Gui, so this time she dealt a cruel blow to Brother Ba, secretly took Ba Prince's little clothes out, and brought them back after being infected with acne."

Everyone looked shocked.

It's because the Empress didn't intercede for Mr. Shu Gui, isn't it?

Why does this sound a bit strange?

Moreover, isn't it absurd just to repay a favor?

Everyone took a look at the little eunuch's handsome face even though it was dirty, they thought it was fake to repay their kindness, but the real thing was love.Even if he is a eunuch, he is a man after all, so it is inevitable that he will feel sad. Although Shu Guiren has been gone for several years, everyone still remembers Shu Guiren's appearance. She is indeed a beautiful girl, and it is not difficult to make people admire him.

"This matter turned out to be such a situation." When Gu Qianqian said this, her tone was a little bewildered, she looked at the little eunuch with hatred in her eyes, and said coldly: "Mr. Shu Gui was executed that day, it was really her own fault , You killed the eighth elder brother for this, this crime is beyond words!"

The little eunuch lowered his head and remained silent.

His eyes were like dead fish. When he did this, he was ready to die, but the few days in the Punishment Department made him realize what life is better than death.

The torture during this period shattered his determination, so he didn't dare to tell the real reason for his revenge on the queen.

"The matter has been found out, the eighth elder brother's pimples are all because of evil thoughts in his heart, and he should be executed for his crime. Today, he was escorted to the Meridian Gate and beheaded for public display!" Qianlong's tone was decisive, and one sentence sealed the life and death of the little eunuch.

After hearing the result of this disposition, the little eunuch was relieved instead.

Li Yu immediately led someone to take him down, leaving a pool of blood on the ground, which looked very bloody.

After letting everyone know the ins and outs of this matter, Qianlong asked everyone to disperse. He was not in a hurry to leave. When everyone left and only he and the queen were left in the room, Qianlong sat on the chair and rubbed his fingers , the pupils were drooping, the pitch-black pupils were like a bottomless pool.

The room was terribly quiet, so quiet that only the sound of each other's breathing could be heard.

"You don't have anything to say to me?" Qianlong's voice was hoarse. He was busy with state affairs at the end of the year, and Qianlong wanted to thoroughly investigate the eighth brother's acne. He was in good health and tired enough, and he almost lost weight However, the pain in the body is far less than the pain in the heart.

The premature death of his son was a pain in his heart, but what was even more painful was that he suddenly realized that he had never really understood the queen.

"What does Long Live Lord want my concubine to say?" The queen raised her eyelids, her former autumnal eyes revealed a lifeless taste, and the old spirit had already spread in her heart.

The death of the eighth elder brother hit her harder than the death of the second elder brother.

When the second elder brother died, she still had Qianlong as her support, she still had the palace power in her hands, and she still had a future. Therefore, even though she was sad in her heart at that time, she gradually came out.

But now that the eighth elder brother is gone, the queen only feels that her future seems to be shrouded in a layer of haze, and every step she takes may fall into the abyss.

Looking at her, Qianlong felt a bit of pity in his heart, but that pity was quickly overwhelmed by anger. For the conceited Qianlong, the most intolerable thing for him was to keep secrets.

This time the queen just happened to touch his reverse scale.

"How do you explain the matter of Mr. Shu Gui?" Qianlong was still holding on to a glimmer of hope at this time, hoping that the queen could give a reasonable explanation, "The eunuch said that it was a pity that he heard you and Nanny Liu say it with his own ears. Guizhi is such an eyeliner, thanks to pushing the matter to Shu Guiren, he was able to get away with it."

Qianlong's memory is not bad, the story of Concubine Xian being poisoned was only two or three years ago, he clearly remembered that the court lady who was poisoned was Guizhi, and Mrs. Shu Gui was also confessed by Guizhi.

The queen closed her eyes, she had lost her eighth elder brother, and she could no longer be charged with any crimes. Lord Long Live didn't let the eunuch say this just now, obviously he still had her in his heart. The queen lowered her head and said in tears: "How can the concubine explain it? There is nothing wrong with wanting to commit a crime. How can you believe what a eunuch said? He said that the concubine wronged Mr. Shu, but the concubine and Mr. Shu have no grievances. Why did the concubine do this?"

This question is indeed not unreasonable.

From everyone's point of view, Shu Gui is the Queen's man no matter what. It is not uncommon for the Queen to put the blame on anyone, but on her own head. It is not that the flood rushed into the Dragon King Temple - her family beat her own family. .

This explanation makes a lot of sense, but it's a pity that Qianlong didn't believe it.

He took a deep look at the queen, as if he wanted to see clearly what was going on under her skin, the room was filled with dead silence, and after a while, Qianlong said harshly: "I hope you are telling the truth."

"The concubine dare not tell lies." The queen replied meekly.

Seeing the Queen's answer, Qianlong became more and more disappointed. He actually believed that it was the Queen who poisoned Concubine Xian that day. He saw the Queen's reaction.

When hearing Guizhi, the queen's reaction was obviously wrong.

Qianlong didn't want to say anything anymore, the eighth elder brother passed away, not only the empress was the one who was sad, he was exhausted physically and mentally now, and he didn't want to stay in Yikun Palace, after saying hello, he got up and left.

After leaving Yikun Palace, it was snowing heavily, plum blossoms were in full bloom, clusters of bright red were particularly conspicuous in the snowy weather.

At this time, Qianlong was not in the mood to appreciate the beautiful scenery. He walked casually, but before he knew it, he came to the gate of Changchun Palace. Li Yu and others were about to shake the forbidden whip to remind everyone that the Long Live God was coming, but Qianlong waved his hand, Indicating that everyone does not need to use this ceremony, he walked quickly into Changchun Palace.

The furnace in the palace was burning brightly, Gu Qianqian was writing something with a pen.

She was very serious and didn't give her mind to other things at all.

After finishing writing, she picked up the post and blew gently, saying: "Send this post to Longhua Temple outside the city tomorrow."

Longhua Temple?Qianlong stood still, and the fingers that lifted the curtain stopped.

"Your Majesty, why are you sending this post to Longhua Temple? It's an eventful time in the palace now, it's nothing for us to send this post, just because we're afraid that others will be suspicious." Bai Ling asked puzzled.

"It's other people's business to be suspicious of others. I only do things to get past the level in my heart." Gu Qianqian said, the death of the eighth elder brother made her feel pity. She doesn't like the queen, but she won't treat the child Involved in the matter of adults, not to mention that the eighth elder brother is still a child, a poor child, "The eighth elder brother has a hard life and died at a young age. I feel sorry for him. I just want Longhua Temple to perform a ritual ceremony to save him. In addition, donate some merit money to him to help him accumulate Yin virtue, so that he can grow up safely in his next life."

"Your Majesty is really kind." Bai Ling couldn't help sighing.

As far as the past enmity between the empress and their empresses was concerned, this time their empresses were already very kind and magnanimous without making trouble, and they even acted against the eighth elder brother.
