Chapter 23 1 rise and fall

Yongzheng hesitated to point the finger at Hongshi. On the one hand, he didn't want to believe that his son would really collude with Yunyu. On the other hand, even though everything seemed to point to Hongshi indirectly, the problem was that all the evidence was only indirect. He pointed out that there is no substantive evidence, and the murder of the Nian family does not do much good to Hongshi, which puts him in danger. His son is not so stupid to think that he can't find anything, right?Unless there is a reason he doesn't know.

In fact, at this time, apart from murdering the Nian clan, it would be of no benefit to everyone, but it would be different if blessings were added. Yongzheng remembered that he had experienced the bloody storm of the Kangxi Dynasty in the royal letter of succession hidden behind the upright and bright plaque in the Qianqing Palace. He thought that there was nothing wrong with what he did, but now something like this happened. The victims this time were Concubine Nian and other concubines. , then not only Nian Shi and other concubines will have accidents because of this, but even Fu Hui, who is only four years old and has a bad body, cannot be avoided.

He still defended his son in his heart, but just in case, Yongzheng still sent someone to investigate. Since the most likely direction is the foreigner's medicine, there is nothing wrong with checking all directions once. But Yongzheng's investigation is not a small problem, but it's not just Hongshi and the concubine Qi and Yunyu behind him. Many eunuchs and maids of all sizes have found suspicious behaviors of other people, and after investigation, many of them were able to leave the palace. The eunuchs who were purchased were criticized, not only the queen and concubine Nian, but also concubines Qi, concubine Xi, concubine Geng, and concubine Mao. Yongzheng knew that if this line was continued, the entire harem would be turned upside down. Turning the bottom upside down, wasting manpower, material and financial resources, but in the end it was nothing.

Seeing that the multiple lines seem to be broken, how can the poisoner be caught?Yongzheng put his mind to rest, and ordered the arrest of the most suspicious persons in the confession, and tortured them one by one. On the other hand, he waited for the secret guard to give him other results.

When the dark guards were checking Yunyu's line, Yongzheng discovered by accident that there was a secret connection between Nian Gengyao and Yunyu's disciples. Nian Gengyao had been losing power in recent months. There is a connection between the Lord and the Party, plus Hongshi... Just when Yongzheng was doubting Hongshi, a court lady who had stayed in the Nianshi Palace for two years did not know if she lost her position because of the recent strict investigation and took the wrong herself. Originally planning to pick up the jewelry that the office official went out to sell in the palace, a gold hairpin that originally belonged to the Jinzhong family of Hongshi side was also put in at the same time. When trying to recover it, the sharp-eyed deputy chief eunuch noticed the clue because of his suspicious expression.

The monthly salary of palace maids is naturally much higher than that of people outside, but living in the palace and some people have to support their families on their own, so many court ladies will ask eunuchs who can leave the palace to take out when they receive non-silver rewards. Go sell off, and this "accidental" is like a beginning, as soon as this matter is reported to Yongzheng, the whole thing will explode immediately.

The maid tried to cover it up, but now is a very sensitive period, and if anything goes a little wrong, she will be interrogated and investigated.Later, when the court lady was interrogated, they found a letter from her family in the court lady's quilt. This time it was because her family was addicted to gambling. Due to the emergency, she had to sell her jewelry this time to save her talent.

When examining the maid, at first the maid naturally wanted to be ambiguous. It would be good to be confused, but in the face of the safety of her family, she could only recruit that the Zhong family had indeed bribed her, and refused to admit that she was is the executor of this incident.On the second day, when everyone wanted to continue to examine the maid, they found that she had died in the prison. The cause of death was determined to be strangled to death by the belt, because the jailer who was in charge last night was unconscious after eating the food. Personnel affairs, so it is impossible to determine whether this person committed suicide or homicide. The biggest problem is that the maid had no reason to commit suicide. She might have thought of sending money outside the palace to her family, so how could she commit suicide?

Naturally, the clue was at Hongshi's side Fujin, but just when Yongzheng was planning to investigate Hongshi formally, a court lady from An Guiren's office was suddenly found dead in the room. A large amount of poison is the same as the medicine used by foreigners in Huali to prevent and control the plague.The maid's status was low, and she was in the same room as a group of court maids. After Yongzheng moved into the Yuanmingyuan, she was sent to clean the courtyard of Angui.

As a result, everyone's eyes naturally focused on Anshi. After the incident, Anshi was directly imprisoned by Yongzheng. Occasionally, one of the eunuchs at Concubine Xi's place had contact with the deceased, so the whole matter became more and more confusing.Since the two dead maids did not leave a single word, Hongshi and Concubine Xi were targeted for this attack. After the investigation, Yongzheng no longer wanted to continue the investigation.After hearing the news, Niu Gulu and Li took the initiative to go to Ulanara to appeal for grievances, one for themselves, and the other for their own daughter-in-law, so that Ulanara didn't know what to do. How to make a decision, because whether she is wronged or not is definitely not up to her.

But Yongzheng agreed to Nianshi's strict investigation, because it was related to Fuhui, and Nianshi's life was at most half a year, so Nianshi did not let go. Thinking about Nianshi's life span of at most half a year, Yongzheng gritted his teeth and decided Keep checking.

I think the little eunuch was calm, and when he was escorted into the interrogation room, he complained that although he had contacted the maid, it was the maid who contacted him on her own initiative, and they really couldn't find the package of medicine in the eunuch's room. , but there is no proof that the palace lady is dead, the little eunuch is talking about everything, the fact is that the little eunuch has been getting very close to the palace lady recently, this is a well-known secret among several palace ladies.

Therefore, after the incident with the little eunuch, Concubine Xi was also grounded until the whole matter "comes to light". Hongli once knelt down and begged Yongzheng to show that his mother could never have anything to do with it, and Concubine Xi naturally denied it. , but the evidence is in front of him, although it cannot be directly proved that it is related to Concubine Xi, but the little eunuch is indeed inseparable from Concubine Xi, and Yongzheng immediately ordered people to investigate the line of purchasing eunuchs in Concubine Xi's palace, and at the same time he looked decisive To Hongli: "If Concubine Xi is really innocent, I will not wrong her."

As for Zhong's, no, it should be Hongshi's. Hongshi and his family members such as Fujin were also temporarily banned. This matter was ordered by Yongzheng. This time Yongzheng simply didn't even see Li's face.

This kind of news naturally spread throughout the Old Summer Palace, and there was a lot of uproar for a while, begging for mercy, and showing off for show, which naturally alarmed the officials, but Yongzheng did not abandon the government because of this matter, and he was even more diligent. The affairs are handled in an orderly manner, but the fatigue on Yongzheng's face has not faded for a long time. At this time, it is the end of June and soon to July, and the fire has not yet reached July. It is the hottest time of the year, although the epidemic in and out of the capital has already Basically subsided, but Yongzheng was almost killed by the epidemic, so the ministers and the Ulanara clan were very worried about Yongzheng who was constantly dealing with various matters.

No matter how busy Yongzheng is, he still visits Nian every now and then, and Luo Ning also benefits from it. These days, Luo Ning has prepared winter melon tea for himself to cool off the summer heat. It is neither sweet nor greasy. It tastes better if it is iced. Luo Ning prepared it Three parts, one for myself, and the other two for the old nobleman and Nianshi, but they didn't make ice for the two. Luo Ning was quite confident in his craftsmanship. In summer, Su Jixiang's mother would make winter melon tea for her to relieve the heat, which is quite like her hometown. Su Jixiang grew up in Nanpu, and her mother specially taught her this skill before leaving.Luo Ning got along well with Nian Shi recently, Nian Shi took a few sips and felt that this taste was to her liking, the two were talking, when they heard news that Yongzheng came in.

Yongzheng said a few words about Nianshi, and then the topic turned to Luoning's homemade winter melon tea. Winter melon tea quenches the heat and thirst. Although it is not too stuffy outside because of the proximity to the water, it is still hotter than other seasons. People feel that the body is sticky and sticky, and Yongzheng tasted it and liked it very much.

From then on, Luo Ning had to prepare an extra portion each time.For Luo Ning, this was also a surprise.Most importantly, Nian Shi was not unhappy, but Luo Ning didn't dare to let Nian Shi drink too much, and asked the imperial physician when he came to take their pulse.

There was a lot of turmoil outside the hall, but the atmosphere on Nian's side was not tense.Nianshi already has the gentleness of Jiangnan women, although he is not hot towards people, but also seems a little cold, but he is getting closer to Luo Ning and the old nobleman, and even Luo Ning occasionally teases Xiao Fuhui, and Nianshi does not like it. He didn't stop him, and occasionally covered his mouth and laughed, making Xiao Fuhui cautiously throw himself into Nian's arms and act like a baby.

Luo Ning's life is still the same as usual, maybe everyone's illness before is really related to the fallen flowers, Laoshi and Luo Ning are both better than 01:30, Luo Ning moved into a new place, it feels like he is in good health again Running around, almost did not leave a mark of "Su Jixiang is here for a visit".

Luo Ning's life seems to be nothing but waiting for the final result. As a victim, and with the ability to read minds, he can monitor whether his maids and eunuchs are being dragged into the whirlpool at any time, so Luo Ning's small life is quite nourishing .

Unexpectedly, this wave of unrest will rise again, and this day will come to July, and troubles will arise again.The poisoning case in the palace has not been clarified, and there is another turmoil in the court. This time it is naturally related to Nian Gengyao. Nian, who was smiling a little, began to frown again.
