The Wang family of the Red Chamber has a wife

The candles in the quiet hall are as bright as day, and the bright yellow curtains of the windows hang down, swaying with the night wind like ripples; the sky outside is as dark as ink, and there are a few crisp metal sounds of armor clashing in the solemnity. , adding a bit of emptiness and loneliness to the night.

"Your Majesty, the Third Highness still refuses to leave. It looks like it's going to rain outside, don't you think?" An Fu came in from outside the hall quietly, with some embarrassment on his brows, and reported softly.

Tu Gaocheng raised his head from the stack of papers piled high on the desk, his thick brows raised, and a trace of impatience flashed across his eyes: "This is really spoiled—he ignored all my words! He If you want to kneel, let him do it, I want to see how bad his temper is?!" After finishing speaking, he slammed a copy in his hand on the table.Looking from An Fu's point of view, he could faintly see some of the most sensitive words in recent days. He glanced at them, then quickly retracted his gaze, and stood there with his hands down and his brows down.

Picking up the teacup next to his hand, he put it aside for a quarter of an hour. The bise tea soup had already cooled down. Tu Gaocheng took a sip, paused, and drank it straight down without changing his face, feeling the coolness in his heart; He rubbed his forehead, his voice was full of exhaustion: "Go on, don't worry about him—"

An Fu was a little worried, hesitated for a moment, and then backed out as promised.

At the beginning of Lin Ting's miscarriage, Concubine Zhen always insisted that she was framed. For this matter, Tu Gaocheng was also very angry. Therefore, Concubine Zhen was demoted to Concubine Zhen, and Concubine Zhen was canonized as Concubine Yi.Years of grievances and this incident, Concubine Zhen finally couldn't hold her breath and killed Lin Ting.

The old lady Zhen was nurturing the prince in the palace back then, and she herself had exquisite wrists, and her disciple Gao Cheng stayed in the palace for a period of time after he became the great treasure, so there are some connections in the palace.After Concubine Zhen entered the palace, all these contacts were transferred to her. This is also one of the reasons why Mrs. Zhen could figure out Tu Gaocheng's thoughts properly in the past ten years.

Lin Tingxiao was weak after childbirth, so Tu Gaocheng specially arranged for several imperial physicians to make a list of recuperating meals together, who thought it was this kind of intention that made Zhen take advantage of the loophole.Although Mrs. Zhen said that Yu Wenmo was not very good at it, there was a maid beside her who was quite proficient in cooking, and she had several staff in the imperial dining room.Secretly replaced the high-quality japonica rice specially prepared for Lin Ting by the Imperial Dining Room with glutinous rice of similar quality. Eating it with chicken would cause people to feel uncomfortable. A small licorice pill was added to the compartment of the steamer, and it melted into the carp as soon as it was smoked by the water vapor. There was no trace, but it was poisonous...

And so on, the accumulation of Lin Ting's body has not improved, and he has been lingering on the bed for several months. Everyone just thinks that Lin Ting is depressed, or that the imperial doctor's diagnosis and treatment are not effective. Concubine Zhen.

It wasn’t until last year’s winter, when the imperial physician came to check the pulse as usual, and heard that there was a nourishing yin and qi nourishing angelica mutton stew and a cup of pumpkin soup in the meal delivered by the maids of the meal. The clues.

It's a pity that it's too late, after the miscarriage, the body's resistance to the outside world has dropped a lot, Lin Ting has been damaged by these more or less poisonous meals, and the imperial physician is also helpless.

Mrs. Zhen did this thing cleverly, but she couldn't find it in advance. After the procurement manager of the imperial dining room was blocked in public, the maid who changed the materials at the beginning finally couldn't bear the bloody nightmare every night, and collapsed and confessed that she did it. everything of.

Zhen Shi naturally refused to admit it to death, and expressed her grievances sadly.It's a pity that she missed one point. Although the court lady is loyal to her, in this palace, it is not uncommon for cunning rabbits to die. He was defeated and took out the mother who was reused by his side to make up for the crime.It is a lesson from the past, not to mention that this time Zhen's key target is the concubine Yi, who is on the emperor's heart?The court lady was worried and suspicious, but secretly kept all the notes that should be destroyed every time she was handed to her. In the end, all of them were found by Tu Gaocheng's hidden guards, which became ironclad evidence to deal with the Zhen family!

However, although Tu Gaocheng gritted his teeth with hatred for the Zhen family, he did not have many heirs and loved them very much. Because of the third prince, Tu Wenhuai, he couldn't deal with her straightforwardly, and he still missed Jiangnan Zhen. Mrs. Zhen, who is nearly 70 years old, had no choice but to choose the most roundabout way.

Tu Gaocheng had a spice in his hands called Anxi, which was obtained from a small country in the sea area and extracted from a unique and rare fragrant wood on that island.Benzoin is easily addictive and cannot be separated from it. Once it is overdose, it will easily lead to mental confusion, and slowly kill life in sleep.

The so-called rest takes this meaning.

In Concubine Zhen's room, benzoin has been burning for two full months. From the very beginning, she has developed upside-down speech to now sleeping for ten hours every day.The third prince, Tu Wenhuai, was very anxious, but he pulled all the imperial physicians over for consultation, and all the results he got were shaking their heads and pleading guilty.

Tu Wenhuai knelt in front of Chongxiao Palace today to ask for a thorough investigation into the affairs of the Zhen family.He has always suspected that his mother's sudden and strange illness was caused by someone. Of course, the most suspicious person in the whole palace is the cunning and sinister Lin family in Hanzhang Palace!

Tu Wenhuai didn't know about Zhen's assassination of Lin Ting back then, it was because of Tu Gaocheng's pity for his son, he didn't want him to know his mother's ugly face, so as to avoid the occurrence of brothers' quarrel in the future.It's a pity that the mother and son of Yanqing Palace have hated Lin Ting for a long time. Once something happened to the Zhen family, Tu Wenhuai immediately cast suspicious eyes on Hanzhang Palace.

How could Tu Gaocheng agree to such a request?Could he still tell his son that the reason why his mother fell into such a situation was all his own fault?

Putting down his pen, he got up and stood in front of the window, the crackling rain was hitting the eaves like a curtain; through the flowers and trees, Tu Gaocheng saw the kneeling figure at the gate of Chongxiao Palace, and the one next to him was holding an umbrella and talking anxiously What is Anfu.With dark eyes, he turned the jasper wrench in his hand and made a decision.

Contains chapter palace.

Listening to the sound of rain knocking on the window outside, Lin Ting quietly leaned on the head of the bed.

"Is he still kneeling at the gate of Chongxiao Palace?" He waved his hand to signal Nv Shi Xing to take away the soup. Lin Ting frowned, with a pair of beautiful eyes slightly bent, with a half-smile: "Why bother pouring this bitter juice again, I I don't have a few days to live, so I might as well take it easy!"

Hearing her words, Xing Nv Shi's nose was sore, and she almost shed tears. She murmured, and obediently put the decoction in her hand back into the tea tray, and told the little maid to take it out, and turned her face away, Tears had been wiped away from her eyes: "Why do you need to say that, Your Majesty? Maybe the gods will bless... the imperial doctors... can... think of a way?" These words were so weak that even she herself did not believe it. .

"Don't comfort me—cough cough!" The corner of Lin Ting's mouth curled into a sneering arc, her eyes were flat and flat, as if everything was out of her sight, she coughed twice, she was a little out of breath: "Zhen's most beloved The most important thing is her mother's family and son, and she is trying her best to plan for profit between the second prince of Taizihe, isn't it just to make her son fall into the eyes of the emperor?! Huh...huh...it's a pity that she is too tall Look at Tu Wenhuai, how intimidating he is kneeling, I am afraid that he will wipe away all the love of the emperor, coupled with the restlessness in Jiangnan, heh, if you don't die, you won't die!"

Seeing her coughing and wheezing, her face flushed like peaches and plums, her eyes as bright as stars, Xing Nushi was startled, and hurriedly twisted a cool handkerchief from the side to warm her face, persuading her: "Madam, it's getting late Let's talk about these trivial matters tomorrow!"

Knowing what Xing Nushi was thinking, Lin Ting also felt that he had no strength in his body, so he complied and lay down under her service.No matter what, the child's future has not been fully arranged, and now it is a day to survive...

Shi Qingwan had no time to think about the many changes in the capital.At this moment, she and Wang Ziteng were standing in the main hall of the royal residence, looking at the woman opposite who had become aggressive, she felt her head was buzzing from the noise.

"Sister-in-law, what does this mean? Could it be that our second master is not a direct descendant of the Wang family?" Shi Qingwan frowned, looked around at the Wang clan, and seeing that everyone was silent, she suddenly felt angry: "Sister-in-law, this is a man's business. How can there be any reason for us women to intervene?! Uncle and all the family uncles are here, and they have always been fair and courteous. You are also pregnant. You should go back to rest and raise your baby." That's right!"

An old man with white beard who sat at the head heard the words, coughed in embarrassment, then stroked his beard and stopped talking.He is the patriarch of the Wang clan. According to his seniority, Wang Ziteng should call him uncle.

Seeing his wife defending himself like this, but his usually kind uncles have become slanderous, Wang Ziteng was inevitably a little disappointed, but he insisted on it.

"Brother, I don't know if this three-seven point is your decision or sister-in-law's idea?" Wang Zi took a step forward, turned Shi Qingwan behind him in a protective gesture, and asked Su Rong with his hands clasped to Wang Zisheng.Without waiting for Wang Zisheng's answer, he nodded: "Yes, the husband and wife are one. I think the elder brother discussed it with his sister-in-law!"

Originally, according to the rules of the family, both Wang Zisheng and Wang Ziteng had already married and had children, and each had a boy and the other was pregnant. In this way, according to the usual practice of separating families, Wang Zisheng has already occupied the title. The family property will be distributed according to the senior, six and young four.Who would have thought that Wang He suddenly proposed that Wang Ziteng had not provided for his wife for many years, and that Wang Ziteng's family had a simple population, so he asked for a [-]-[-] division of the family property.

This is against the rules and should be refuted, but the few clansmen who came to act as intermediaries were silent.

Although the Wang family is still among the four major families these years, it is far inferior to the others.The third generation of the Jia family was demoted to the rank of first-rank general. The Shi family was still in the Hou family because the old Marquis was still alive. Although the Xue family had lost the name of Ziwei Sheren long ago, they were somewhat capable as imperial merchants. Only the Wang family , the descendants of the direct line are sparse and do nothing. Although the family has a lot of wealth, it is not worth the use.

All in all, in the entire Wang clan, the highest-ranking prince is Wang Zisheng, so their silence is justifiable.

Seeing Wang Zisheng's wandering eyes, Wang Ziteng understood something, and smiled bitterly: "Forget it, since you have such intentions, how can I do something disrespectful to my brother? Let the patriarch and all the uncles testify! It's just this point I can always pick out the things at home, right? I don’t want much property, after all, after the filial piety expires, I’m afraid I’ll be in the capital forever..."

"That's natural!" The patriarch hurriedly responded, this matter was done by his old bones, and he had to find something to make up for others.

Others couldn't see it, but Shi Qingwan could clearly see Wang Ziteng's eyes flashing over him for his success. She thought about it carefully and understood it instantly.However, she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, and taking advantage of the convenience of her robe, she ruthlessly twisted Prince Teng's waist from behind.

Feeling the sudden pain in his waist, Wang Ziteng turned his head to meet Shang Shi Qingwan's eyes, the corners of his lips were curved in a flattering way, and he moved his lips slightly.
