Reborn as King again

Chapter 101 Beneficiaries

I didn't expect Jia Wanru to be so out of tune. Maybe it was Jia Liang's incident that made her mess up. After Jia Liang was pushed out, Jia Wanru knelt at my feet, kept shaking my clothes, and cried Beg me to let Jia Liang go.

Of course I won't agree, Jia Liang may be loyal now, what can I do later?Will he be loyal when he knows that Prince Li Yi is the son of King Rui?If we don't eradicate him now, when will we wait?If there were no events in my previous life, if I still loved Jia Wanru deeply, I would really make the big thing smaller and spare Jia Liang's life at this moment.

Seeing that I was indifferent, Jia Wanru said in great grief: "Your Majesty, how could you do this? My elder brother is really innocent, you are clearly aware!"

"Concubine Wan!" Before I could speak, the queen mother's face could no longer bear it. She knew that I had always loved Jia Wanru, and she almost obeyed her words. It was a serious crime to have an affair with a concubine. where!The queen mother sternly said: "If the emperor doesn't hold you accountable, you should burn incense. How dare you ask the emperor for this or that?!"

"I..." The queen mother is an elder, and Jia Wanru couldn't refute.

I pulled myself down and comforted me: "Concubine Wan, I won't pursue you for what the empress mother said, so don't say any more."

Jia Wanru was stunned, and looked at me in disbelief: "Your Majesty, you don't trust my concubine? Why should I be responsible for not hiding anything about Jin Cairen!"

I became a little impatient: "Concubine Wan, don't challenge my patience, it is an undeniable fact that Xia Jin and Jia Liang have an affair, this news has been sealed so tightly, who else would do such a thing except you? "As I said that, I glanced at Xia Zhiyuan. He had a good mental quality, and he knelt beside him unshakably, with no expression on his face.

"You have changed." Jia Wanru must have been greatly stimulated, and spewed out what should be said and what should not be said. Her face was ashen, and her eyes were full of tears: "Why don't you believe in my concubine? You forgot the vow between us back then." Yet?"

then?What year?My thoughts have been wandering for a long time, what kind of oath is there?

Seeing my suspicious appearance, Jia Wanru was even more heartbroken. She said with a trembling voice, "You...you said that no matter what happens, you will stand by my side, and you will support my concubine unconditionally..."

The more Jia Wanru talked, the faster my heart beat. I couldn't remember, but suddenly someone turned up the past, and the past flooded into my mind like a flood.

I vaguely remember Jia Wanru back then as a young girl who didn’t know anything and served cautiously. At that time, I had just ascended the throne, working hard to deal with the treacherous and cunning courtiers in the court. There was a kind of sympathy between us. After getting along with her for a long time, I became more and more attracted to her. He is cheerful yet gentle, arrogant yet virtuous. I really love her and regard her as the only partner in my heart. Because of her status, there are more and more concubines in the palace, but Jia Wanru’s smiles are getting less and less because of this. I can’t bear her to be so depressed. I took her to the grove where we often take a walk together, as usual, with her Interlocking my fingers, I made to her the first promise of love in my life.

I told her that I will always love her in my heart and always put her first. No matter what wrongs she suffers, I will be her strongest backing. In the future, as long as she gives birth to a prince, I will make him the prince. And canonize her as a queen, the place next to my imperial tomb will be reserved for her!

How did Jia Wanru react at that time?Tears filled her eyes as if she was moved, she didn't expect that she could get the emperor's love at that time, she was flattered, she cried and held my hand tightly on the spot, and made a promise to me that she would never let me down!

snort!Will not fail me!With just these four words, I believed in her, loved her for more than 20 years, and finally watched her open her jade arms and fall into King Rui's embrace. Neither my son nor my daughter is mine!I was suppressed by the rebels in the Hall of Changhuan, and she embraced King Rui, but she never dared to look up at me, was she disdainful or guilty?I asked myself, in my previous life, I was sorry to my father, emperor and elder brother, to my mother and queen Xiaoba, to my loyal minister who was dedicated to me, to everyone, but only Jia Wanru!But she threw my sincerity on the ground and smashed it to pieces!

At this time, I couldn't hear what Jia Wanru said with tears in my eyes, it was just a tinnitus and dizziness. I didn't want to recall the past that was so stupid. Grabbing someone, that person seemed to have sensed something was wrong with me, he quickly stood up and supported me: "Your Majesty, are you alright?"

The voice was mellow but with a hint of indifference. I turned my head slightly, and it turned out to be Xia Zhiyuan.

The queen mother thought there was something wrong with my body, so she asked Ruan Tao to come and show me. I waved my hand to signal no, I knew that I just had a sense of rejection from the previous one.

Seeing that I was able to stand firmly, Xia Zhiyuan immediately let go of my hand, unwilling to have any contact with me.

Jia Wanru was really impatient, she was so blank this time, she was still talking about the past, she said how I loved her back then, how much I did for her, how we loved each other back then, our love back then Promise to each other, back then...

then!then!then!

I don't want to hear what happened back then, why didn't she shut up for me!

"Shut up..." I said a little weakly.

Jia Wanru didn't seem to hear it, and was still talking there.

My head is getting more and more painful, why is she still talking? !I couldn't take it anymore, raised my hand, and slapped Jia Wanru hard on the left cheek: "I told you to shut up! Didn't you hear?!"

All of a sudden there was no sound in the hall of Taiye, not to mention the other inner eunuchs who were waiting on the sidelines, even the queen mother opened her eyes wide, and after a while, she quickly touched my forehead, thinking that I was really sick.

Because I hit Jia Wanru, the Jia Wanru whom I kept holding in my palm for fear of freezing and holding it in my mouth for fear of melting!

Jia Wanru didn't make another sound, she covered her slightly swollen side face with her tender white hands and looked at me desperately.

I didn't even think that I would hit her!But it doesn't matter, it's time to hit her. If you treat her too well, she won't know how to cherish it.

The queen mother helped me to sit on the dragon chair, and asked the inner warden to serve me a cup of tea to make me feel comfortable.

I took the teacup, looked coldly at Jia Wanru who was trembling in the hall, opened the lid of the tea, and took a sip of the tea to calm down my emotions a little.

I said: "I will pass on my will. Concubine Jia, who is spoiled and spoiled, is jealous. She did not report her elder brother's rape of the concubine in the harem. She should be punished together with her elder brother. However, it is the crown prince and the second princess." Birth mother, pardon her death penalty, demote her to be a talented person, and confine her to Baoge Palace, without my will, you can't step out of Baoge Palace!"

"emperor……"

"Due to being reduced to a talented person with low status and unworthy of raising a princess, the second princess, Li Bier, is now handed over to Concubine Shu's knees to be raised!"

"Your Majesty!" The successive incidents have already made Jia Wanru almost collapse: "You can't do this! Yi'er is no longer following me, I can't let Bi'er leave again, you can't let us be separated!"

"Why are you still standing there!" I stared at the stunned eunuchs beside me: "Hurry up and bring Wancai back to Baoge Palace! Are you still letting her block my eyes here?!"

The inner eunuchs who were standing by and watching the play were not easy to do. After all, Jia Wanru is the emperor's favorite person today. Who knows if the emperor is angry. Will they not suffer?

But after my yelling, they had no choice but to bite the bullet. The two eunuchs each grabbed Jia Wanru's arm, and said respectfully, "Your Wancai, I've offended you."

Just like this, Jia Wanru was forcibly dragged out of Taiye Palace, she struggled and roared, she didn't understand, really didn't understand why I suddenly treated her like this!

In fact, I gave her a chance, I said I would not pursue it, and I wanted to praise her again, but who made her so blind that she insisted on telling me about our past? !That was the biggest stain in my life. I couldn't recognize anyone, but I actually fell in love with Jia Wanru, a remnant flower and a willow, and still cared for her like a treasure. Thinking of this makes me feel sick!

After Jia Wanru's voice gradually disappeared, the Taiye Hall was completely silent, and no one dared to take a deep breath, for fear of hitting the muzzle of a gun!

No one could have guessed that Jia Wanru, who was still the favorite in the harem just a moment ago, would be slapped on the spot by me, demoted, grounded, and deprived of her daughter's custody. Just a few words made her fall from the clouds to the bottom.

After a while, it was the queen mother who spoke first: "Emperor, what are you..." She didn't expect that I would treat Jia Wanru like this.

I don't want to make my mother worry, let alone let others see my emotional fluctuations, so I slowly let out a breath and smiled at my mother, saying: "I'm fine, I'm worried about my mother, can you let me stay alone for a while?" ?”

God knows how forced my smile is, and my mother's worries are all written on my face, but after hearing me say this, I know that I have issued an order to evict guests, so I can't say anything else: "Then the emperor, you stay first, and the mother leaves first. In fact, Concubine Wan's temper is all because of your pampering, so don't take it too seriously." The queen mother said a few words of comfort.

"En." I nodded, indicating that I listened.

"Your Majesty!" Xia Zhiyuan knelt down suddenly: "I have a request, please allow me."

"A request?" Before I could figure out how to deal with him, he stood up by himself: "What request?"

Xia Zhiyuan raised his head and looked at me, his swamp-like black eyes revealed a little bit of coldness: "It's too cheap to judge Jia Liang to cut him in half..."

"Yuaner!" The queen mother interrupted Xia Zhiyuan, she didn't want Xia Zhiyuan to conflict with me again on Jia Liang's matter.

"Okay, Yuan Ronghua, you can do whatever you like, I'm sure." I waved my hand, Xia Zhiyuan's murderous intent was too strong, if I didn't agree to him, I had to guard against some moths coming out of his back.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

It was not until the next day, after Jia Liang was executed, that someone reported to me that Xia Zhiyuan asked the guards to take two Tibetan mastiffs to the Meridian Gate. None of them spelled it out personally.

After my mother and the others left, I sat alone in the Taiye Hall in a daze. I quickly calmed down and began to think about the whole story. In fact, at the beginning, I always thought that someone wanted to poison He Wenliu under my nose Or Liu Sha ordered someone to conduct a thorough investigation secretly, but such an investigation into the matter of dressing changes also uncovered the matter of Xia Jinzhu's secret pregnancy, and then found out that the adulterer was Jia Liang. On the surface there is no relationship, this only shows that the matter of changing the dressing is a cover, and doing so many things is nothing more than hoping that I will be justified and have to deal with Jia Liang, Jia Liang is the final goal.

"Blessings." I called to the door.

Wanfu walked in: "The servant is here."

I said, "How did you check the matter of changing the medicine that I asked you to check?"

"Slave..." Wanfu hesitated a bit: "Slave has no clue yet. The staff who came in and out of the imperial pharmacy on the day of the dressing change has been checked quietly one by one, and there is nothing suspicious."

Wanfu has been with me since I was a child and has served me for more than 20 years. He understands my temper and preferences, and I also understand his. Whenever Wanfu tells a lie, his head will be lower than usual, and sometimes his tongue will get knotted, such as Now.

"Tell me the truth, is there no one who doubts?"

Wanfu heard the coldness in my voice, knelt down on the ground, took a deep breath, and said tremblingly: "I had a suspect before, but I didn't investigate further because of Jin Cairen's affairs. , but the slave feels that it cannot be him."

"Who did you find out?"

"It's the Sixth Prince." Wan Fu's answer became smaller and smaller: "But Concubine Wen is the concubine of the Sixth Prince's mother. He is still so young, so he probably won't..."

Li Ji?I raised my eyebrows, yes, and Li Ji, I almost forgot about him.

After careful analysis, if Jia Liang died, Li Ji would indeed benefit the most, but it was because he was young that no one would be suspected.

Li Ji seldom talks and is very quiet. This is very similar to He Wenliu. Although he is still young and hasn't grown up, his facial features, especially his eyes, are very similar to He Wenliu. Maybe he was deceived by his appearance. , I always thought his personality was no different from He Wenliu.But I forgot, no matter how much Li Ji looks like He Wenliu, the blood of our Li family's royal family flows in his bones. No one in the Li family's royal family has clean hands!

Think about everyone in the past, the emperor won the crown prince with the support of his mother when he was two years old, Xiao Ba hugged his father, queen and mother's thighs tightly in order to survive in the harem, King Rui kept a low profile for so many years, for the sake of Does not belong to his throne.And my sons, Li Chen is kind and harmless, why don't he treat the harem framed and injustice with cold eyes, and protect his life wisely. When Li Yi was three years old, in order to keep the crown prince, he deliberately pushed Xia Zhisu downstairs, causing her to have a miscarriage. And me, how many bad things I have done, I have forgotten myself.There are too many examples of this kind. In fact, Li Ji is the same type of person as us. He will do anything in order to survive.

It's just a mere change of dressing, which is not difficult for Li Ji.

"Why do you doubt Ji'er?" Even if the beneficiary is Li Ji, it must be supported by evidence.

Seeing that I was not very angry, Wanfu became more courageous, and replied: "When I went to the imperial pharmacy to ask questions, a pharmacist said that the sixth prince had visited him on the day of changing the medicine, and the sixth prince said that Concubine Wen The empress’s medicine is really too bitter. Every time I see Concubine Wen’s hard-to-swallow expression, I feel distressed, so I ask the pharmacist if he can adjust the medicine to make it less bitter. I remember that the medicine on the day of changing the medicine was Concubine Wen’s. The last dose of the empress, that's why the servant..."

That's right, that was He Wenliu's last dose of medicine. If Li Ji really felt sorry for He Wenliu's pain from taking the medicine, why didn't he go there earlier, but waited until the day when He Wenliu took the last dose of medicine?The timing must be too much of a coincidence.

"Wanfu, inquire about one more thing..." I said.

Dry Dragon Palace at night

Wan Fu, who had inquired about the good news, came to report the results to me with an ugly face. I asked Wan Fu to ask the little eunuch who was following Li Ji whether Li Ji had appeared near Taihuayuan where Xia Jin lived a few days before the dressing change.

The little eunuch answered clearly that one day Yun'er took Li Ji to play hide-and-seek near Taihuayuan!

The whole matter is very clear. Li Ji probably saw Xia Jin with a big belly when he was playing hide-and-seek with Yun'er, and overheard something from Xia Jin or the servants who served Xia Jin, and guessed that the adulterer was Jia Jin. Bright.

Jia Liang is the Captain of the Imperial Forest Army, and he is a popular candidate for the next Imperial Army Commander. Now that Jia Liang is down, the candidate will be my new captain Su Zhongyi not long ago. Su Zhongyi's only son Su Zhuo is Li Ji Companion reading, so calculated, if Su Zhongyi really controls the Yulin Army, then the Yulin Army belongs to Li Ji's power.

Presumably Li Ji did a lot of research for Raja Liang to get off the horse, otherwise how would he know that the Royal Pharmacy had boiled an extra bowl of anti-fetal medicine?

On the surface, He Wenliu wanted to go to the imperial pharmacy to inquire about the bitterness of the medicine, but in fact he secretly changed the medicines of He Wenliu, Liu Sha and Xia Jin.Li Ji knew that He Wenliu was a medicine jar, so he would definitely be able to detect the smell of the medicine. Probably under his calculations, He Wenliu would definitely tell me that he had taken the wrong medicine. things to come.

Li Ji's calculation was correct, and it was basically carried out according to his plan, but I don't know if Li Ji had calculated that the medicine he changed for He Wenliu was poisonous from the medicine he drank before, and he almost poisoned his mother and concubine!

To be honest, I also want Su Zhongyi to control the Yulin Army, but it doesn't mean that I accept that someone will plot against me.

Now He Wenliu is still in bed because of the poisoning. If he finds out that his son changed the medicine himself, he might suffer some shock. I think we have to keep it a secret.

After thinking for a while, I said, "Remember, the person who changed the medicine was Xiao Gao, the eunuch who specially made medicine for Concubine Liu. He had already committed suicide in fear of crime, and other things are not allowed to be mentioned again, do you understand?"

"Yes." Wanfu broke into a cold sweat, it seems that it is better not to investigate some things.
