Concubine daughter of the Lin family in the Red Chamber

The imperial cook was taken away, and the little eunuch who was serving the dishes was dragged up. It was said that he could get close to the emperor to serve the emperor's meals. Kowtow to beg for mercy.

The emperor asked the same question, and the little eunuch trembled with fright: "Bringing it out from the imperial dining room, the servants were afraid of the cold, and walked fast all the way, how could they have the time to open the lid to poison, there were several people around me at that time , can testify for the slave.”

At that time, the people who were traveling with the little eunuch were also pulled up, and they made it very clear that they all proved that the soup cup had not been touched, and the possibility of poisoning was ruled out again.

The emperor looked at the eunuch standing beside him, and the eunuch knelt down with a plop, because Lin Wanru couldn't hear what he said because he was far away, but it was probably just an excuse, but the emperor didn't speak, and with a final wave of his hand, the guards surrounded him. Go up and arrest the eunuch. The emperor's voice is not loud but steady: "Take him down for interrogation, and make sure he tells the truth."

It seems that the emperor was not overwhelmed by grief, and he thought clearly, this poison is not easy to deal with, since it succeeded, there must be an inner ghost around the emperor, and the eunuch served the emperor personally, even if he didn't participate, you can rely on it His power should not be hidden from his eyes.

The eunuch was dragged down, and the emperor looked gloomyly at the civil and military officials below, as well as the few princes at the front, and there was a big question mark in his heart, who was so bold?How dare you kill the king!

Within an hour, someone came back and said: "Eunuch Li bit his tongue and committed suicide."

The emperor's face became more and more embarrassing, and the ministers held their breath even more.The atmosphere dare not breathe.

There was silence in the hall, Eunuch Li bit his tongue and killed himself, he must know the inside story, but since he is dead.That is dead without evidence, and the person behind this scene may not be found.

At this time, the fourth prince stood up suddenly, he got up abruptly, as if there was some serious urgent matter, he stood up and rushed to the center of the hall, knelt down with a plop: "Father, my son has something to say. "

The emperor looked at the son, and his voice softened for a moment: "Say it."

The fourth prince paused.Said: "I saw with my own eyes the prince instructing Eunuch Li to put something in the father's bowl."

As soon as this statement came out.There was an uproar.The emperor even stood up abruptly: "What did you say?"

The fourth prince buried his head even lower: "I dare not talk nonsense. I didn't know that it was poison, and I didn't know that it was to poison the father. So I didn't take it to heart. I didn't expect that my mistake would harm the little one." My sister died, so I ask my father to punish me."

The emperor staggered and fell down on the throne, the second prince said anxiously: "Fourth brother, what's going on, please tell me in detail."

The fourth prince said yes, took a deep breath, and then spoke eloquently, the hall was quiet.His voice was also loud, so he could hear clearly: "That day, my son went to Linlang Pavilion to look for books, and my father also knew that it was in disrepair for a long time, and few people went there, but there were a group of rare books kept in the palace. That day, Erchen went to the second floor of Linlang Pavilion to look for books. It hadn't been cleaned for a long time, and there was a lot of dust. After staying for a while, Erchen couldn't bear it anymore. Seeing someone talking under the plane tree outside Linlang Pavilion, one of them is the prince."

The fourth prince raised his head and looked at the prince, but the prince did not respond. The fourth prince mustered up his courage and continued: "My son thought it was strange, but he was afraid that he would be bored by appearing rashly, so he hid, but he heard the prince talking to Eunuch Li. Said, this medicine is very effective, a little is enough, just in case, you use more. Eunuch Li said, it is also the first time for him to do such a thing, it is better to be safe, you have to pick a suitable opportunity to make it happen The prince said that the Mid-Autumn Festival is a good opportunity. He will persuade his father to invite all the officials to pray for the princess. If there are too many people, he will fish in troubled waters. Eunuch Li agreed. Royal father, he didn't dare to say too much, it never occurred to him that what he said was poison."

The emperor was silent, all the officials were silent, time seemed to stand still, Lin Wanru was surprised by the prince's reaction.

You must know that the prince has a bad temper, no matter whether he did it or not, if the fourth prince exposes him face to face, he should justify himself, and even maliciously frame the fourth prince, this is the prince's style!

Not only Lin Wanru, but all civil and military officials focused their attention on the prince. Logically speaking, the prince should excuse himself at this time, but the prince stood up extremely calmly, walked to the center of the hall, and said: "This It was indeed I who did it, and what my fourth brother said was not bad at all."

However, the hall was even more strangely peaceful. The emperor pointed at the prince tremblingly, unable to utter a word, but a disgusted expression appeared on the prince's face: "Father is dying, this world should have a new master long ago, I am here now." What Fan did was just following the destiny, so what's wrong?"

Concubine Jia Xian was being supported in a daze all the time, but at this moment she rushed towards the prince: "Give me back my daughter! Give me back my daughter! I will fight you!"

But before Concubine Jia Xian approached the prince, seven or eight guards with knives suddenly appeared from all directions, some of them blocked Concubine Jia Xian, and some of them surrounded the prince.

Lin Wanru's heart skipped a beat, is the prince trying to force the palace?

But then he realized that the matter had reached this point, if he didn't force the palace, what else could he do?

The prince laughed out loud, it was a smug smile, a wild laugh, and an unscrupulous smile: "Father, after I was deposed by you, I tossed and turned every day in the palace thinking, what did I do wrong to let you Treating me like this, but I thought about it and didn't understand it. It's just two cheap lives, but my father wants to abolish my own son? This world is mine, and I can kill whoever I want. Father, you Why bother?"

The emperor was so angry that he was about to faint, the prince snorted coldly, clapped his hands, and rushed into dozens of soldiers covered in armor and holding weapons from outside the palace, the prince looked at all the civil and military officials with a proud expression: " I’m not afraid to tell you that this capital city has fallen into my hands. If you are wise, come here and seek refuge. I will naturally keep you safe, but if you are obsessed with obsession, and your swords and guns have no eyes, if you are injured or disabled, don’t blame me for not reminding you.”

The minister was silent, and the chief assistant Cai Yuji was the first to stand up. He was in his early fifties and had a gray beard. He looked solemn and said in a stern tone: "Prince, you have made a big mistake. There is still time to rein in the precipice."

The crown prince looked at Cai Yuji like an idiot: "Master Cai, you really treat yourself like a green onion, let me tell you, when I ascend the throne, you will be the first one to get rid of!"

Cai Yuji sneered, and with a wave of his hand, the guards protecting the prince and dozens of soldiers rushing in all turned their backs on the prince.

The crown prince was stunned, and all civil and military officials were also stunned. Only the emperor stood up with the support of the second prince: "Take this evil obstacle down for me!"

The guards swarmed up, pressed the prince hard on the ground, and tied him up unceremoniously. Cai Yuji looked at the prince with a smile that was not a smile: "Is the prince still waiting for Bao Fengyi and Bao Changfei's troops? What a pity Yes, the soldiers under their command have long been persuaded by Qi Guogong to abandon evil and do good. This scene is played today to make you completely give up. Now the Bao family father and son have already been thrown into the prison, and death is inevitable. Prince, Do yourself a favor!"

The prince collapsed on the ground, but then he struggled crazily again and begged the emperor for mercy: "Father, please, please spare my life for the sake of my mother. Father, I know I was wrong. If I die , Empress Mother will definitely blame Emperor Father in heaven..."

The situation took a turn for the worse, not to mention Lin Wanru, even the other ministers except Cai Yuji were at a loss. Just now the crown prince wanted to force the palace, but in a blink of an eye he was pulled from the bottom of the pot. Who designed this?Who dug a hole for whom?

The emperor did not soften his heart in the face of the prince's cries and begging for mercy. In the past, when the prince was slightly unhappy, he would move out the queen, saying that he was a motherless child, how pitiful, the emperor was soft-hearted, and would grant his wish.

Over time, the prince also regarded this as a weapon, a weapon specially used to deal with the emperor. Now this weapon has finally failed, and the emperor's nostalgia for the queen has finally been wiped out by the prince's arrogance and the domineering of the Bao family.

The emperor spoke in a low voice, but Lin Wanru could hear clearly: "Prince Hong Zhou, who mutilated his siblings, intends to rebel, abolished his position as the crown prince, replaced him with the second prince Hong Xuan, and sent Hong Zhou to the clan's residence. Imprisoned for life, and will not be pardoned, Crown Princess Fei, after giving birth to a child in her womb, sent back to her mother's family and ordered her to remarry!"

The emperor's words were very clear, word by word floated into everyone's ears, the same thought in everyone's mind was that the crown prince was completely finished this time, and there was no possibility of recovery, another thought was that the second prince became the crown prince, In the future, I must curry favor with the second prince.

Lin Wanru didn't react until she returned to Taoranju and the familiar environment. The incident happened too suddenly, too unbelievable. She sat on the kang in a daze, and the two nannies hugged Brother Cheng. When Brother Yu came over, she finally realized it, hugged the two children in her arms, and felt a little warmth.

The people in the family didn't know what happened at all, and they were still full of the joy of celebrating the reunion festival. Lin Wanru waved his hand tiredly, motioning for them to step back, and said, "You two children should stay with me today. If you want to breastfeed I will call you, you all go down, and leave me alone."

Everyone couldn't help looking at each other, but Lu Ni waved her hand quietly, and everyone retreated in silence.

Brother Cheng still didn't know it, he clenched his small fist and wanted to put it in his mouth, and grinned at Lin Wanru, while Brother Yu moved his arms and legs silently, and looked at Lin Wanru with wide eyes. .

Lin Wanru held their little hands respectively, Brother Cheng took Lin Wanru's hand and put it in his mouth, but Brother Yu clenched it tightly and did not let go, Lin Wanru couldn't bear it anymore, and buried herself in the swaddling clothes silently. cry.
