I heard my brother is a tyrant

Guo Yu was stunned for a while after hearing what Miss Zhang had said, then turned around and left, calling the servants beside him, "Enter the palace!"

"My lord," Wei Chen called to him, clasped his hands on the horse and said, "Your Majesty, please say more, I'm afraid you won't even be able to see His Majesty's face when you enter the palace at this time, let alone the princess."

Guo Yudao: "I will ask Your Majesty, she is my daughter, I want to see her."

"My lord, with all due respect, the lord knows a little bit about your majesty's temperament. The princess is his villain. Since he took the princess into the palace, I'm afraid he won't let you see it. Why don't you calm down first and put the princess in the palace?" The household chores have been taken care of in advance, and the servants also have some matters that need to be discussed with the lord."

Guo Yu was a little crazy, and said angrily: "This king wants to see my daughter!"

Wei Chen said: "Then the prince will enter the palace, the next official will not delay the prince."

Guo Yu hurried into the palace and came to the Zichen Hall to ask for an audience. Chen Lianjiang told him respectfully and politely that His Majesty accompanied the princess to the Royal Garden to relax.

Guo Yu waited for a long time outside the Zichen Hall, but he didn't even see anyone, so he had to go back first.

The next morning, Guo Yu actually came.The courtiers all looked sideways when they saw him, but he didn't care, and stood for a morning without saying a word.As soon as they retreated from the court, everyone bowed to send the emperor away first. As soon as Xie Dan walked down the steps, Guo Yu suddenly knelt down, stopped in front of Xie Dan and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, please let the old minister see my daughter."

Xie Dan stopped, and asked in a flat tone: "Isn't Guo Qing's daughter in your house? I have ordered the imperial physician to treat her well."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I'm wrong, I know I'm wrong, I beg you." Guo Yu bowed his head and said, "I beg Your Majesty to let you see Princess Duanning for the sake of being deceived and ignorant." , I just want to see her, so I just say a few words to her, I want to know the truth!"

Xie Dan said: "The princess is young, and I am her fiancé-in-law. If the King Zhong has something to say, just tell me."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please let the old minister see her." Guo Yu hugged Xie Dan's leg and began to cry bitterly, "Your Majesty, since you know that she is the old minister's daughter, but you have been hiding her, Why don't you tell the old minister that the old minister has been blinded for so many years in vain, that the old minister has lost his wife, and the old minister can no longer have a daughter. The old minister needs to know the truth, how my wife died, and how my daughter was raised by His Majesty's side, Your Majesty Knowing that she is the daughter of the old minister, why didn't you give her back to me, but let us separate from each other, Your Majesty, you have made it hard for the old minister to hide it!"

Xie Dan asked coldly: "Guo Yu, you don't even recognize your own daughter, what face do you have to say she is your daughter?

Guo Yu cried: "I don't know, how could I have thought that she looks so much like my wife, how would I know! Your majesty, you are all a poor old minister, let me see the princess!!"

Xie Dan said: "You want to see her? Yu Qing, you haven't raised her for a day, and Yu Li, you were still in this hall the day before yesterday, humiliating and humiliating her in front of the civil and military courts of the Manchu Dynasty, every word of your heart, the words are still in your ears, you forgot so soon ?"

Guo Yu froze, crying more and more, and only cried and begged: "Please let me see her, Your Majesty, I don't know anything, I'm wrong, I'm wrong, I beg Your Majesty to take pity on this old minister."

Xie Dan said coldly: "Guo Yu, you once dominated the battlefield, you shouldn't be just a reckless fool, if you still want to be a human being, you should know what to do and what not to do, and don't do it now Crazy and stupid, shrew crying in the street will only increase the jokes, I have never been a soft-hearted person, and the princess will not know, even if you cry to death here, it is useless."

"Since you said that I hid your daughter in front of the civil and military officials of the whole court, then I will tell you that it was Mrs. Ye who handed her over to me. Everyone knows that you, Guo Yu, have no regrets for your dead wife. Ye Madam is dying, but she would rather entrust her daughter to others than entrust her to you to raise her, Guo Yu, tell yourself, why is this?"

Xie Dan leaned down slightly, smiled and said softly, "I'm not afraid to tell you, An An has believed her father is dead since she was a child, and it's useless for you to see her now, even if you do, she won't believe it. If you don't believe me, just believe me, and if you dare to disturb her, I will tell her how you betrayed your promises, how shameless you were!"

Xie Dan left indifferently, while Guo Yu sat in the Xuanzheng Hall in a daze for a while, then got up and walked away.

Back at the palace, Guo Heng was wandering at the door, seeing his carriage approaching, he rushed up to meet him.

"Why are you still here?" Guo Yu scolded, "Didn't I tell you to hurry to Bingzhou and arrest her adoptive parents?"

"Someone has been dispatched." Guo Heng hurriedly said, helping him to walk in, looking at Guo Yu's face carefully and asked, "Father...you see?"

Guo Yu ignored his words, and walked in with a dull head. Guo Heng persuaded: "Father, don't worry, Guo Zijin and Li Daitao are stiff, and we were also deceived by her. No matter what you say, your father is the biological father of the princess. Now everyone in the world We all know that the princess is your daughter, and she may not be able to accept it for a while if she doesn't see you now, after all, she is a close relative, blood is thicker than water, given time, she will definitely be able to understand and accept you."

Guo Yu asked, "How is Guo Zijin?"

"I haven't woken up yet." Guo Heng said, "My child asked the imperial doctor, she was poisoned, and I'm afraid she can't recover. The father has loved her in every possible way these years, and his kindness is as heavy as a mountain. I don't want her to be an imposter. It’s a fake product. The boy asked carefully, she was poisoned so strangely that no one would have a chance to poison her, and she was afraid that she didn’t want to live anymore, and she was jealous of the princess and deliberately ran to the princess’s door to seek death.”

"Go and arrest her adoptive parents now, and leave her alone. She was only six years old back then, what could she do? You send someone to arrest her adoptive parents, and bring everyone involved in it to Ben The king finds out, and when this king finds out the culprit, he must be torn to pieces!"

After Guo Yu finished speaking, he went straight into his study.Guo Heng stood at the door of the study, but there was no movement inside, so he had to leave.

He did not give up and went to the backyard again. Guo Zijin's boudoir is now guarded by iron armored guards, and there are also imperial doctors and medical girls guarding it. Originally, the servant girls in the mansion were allowed to enter. They all know that the county owner of their own family is a fake, even the maids dare not go in easily.

Guo Heng himself couldn't get close even an inch.

Ye Chu lived in the palace for seven or eight days, and probably visited all the imperial gardens. This night Xie Dan came to Minghua Palace. After the two of them had dinner, Xie Dan told her that he planned to send her back to Ye's house. Stay for a few days.

"Didn't my brother say that the Ministry of Industry is going to build the princess mansion?"

Xie Dan said: "I'm afraid the Empress Dowager will die. The imperial doctor said that it will only be one or two days. I'm afraid that the noise and chaos in the palace will affect you. The princess's mansion is mainly to rebuild the gate and repair the house. The master we live in Yuan Xia took advantage of the time when he was in the palace, the mansion has been specially repaired, and there is no need to start work now, it will not be affected when you go back to live, just go through the side door, it may be a little inconvenient to get in and out."

"Well," Ye Chu nodded and asked, "Then do I need to come?"

Xie Dan knew that she was asking about the Empress Dowager's funeral, so she thought for a while and said, "We have just been engaged and haven't gotten married yet, so you don't need to come according to the etiquette, but you are the princess now, and all the wives at home and abroad have to come to worship Yes, just let Ms. Ding and Ms. Zhang accompany you to reveal the face, they are familiar with this, so you don't have to worry about it."

In mid-September, the Empress Dowager passed away, and the world was completely empty.

The emperor keeps filial piety for 27 days, and the country's filial piety is kept for a hundred days.

Ye Chu was accompanied by two female officials into the palace to pay respects. All the wives at home and abroad looked at the Princess Duanning, the future queen, who was delicately supported by the female officials. Everyone heard that the future queen was delicate. Weak, naturally he took care of the living first, after offering incense and worshiping, Ye Chu was helped to rest in the side hall, and later he left the palace and returned to his residence.

During the mourning period, meat and meat were abstained, and the kitchen began to cook vegetarian dishes in different ways. Fortunately, it was autumn, with abundant fruits and vegetables. Ye Chu's favorite chestnuts and lotus roots were in season, and various mushrooms and tofu became her new favourites.

Xie Dan is very busy these days, he needs to guard the spirit in the palace and cannot come back for a while.Ye Chu didn't see any foreign guests on a daily basis, and he didn't even go out during the national mourning period. Until this day, his servants suddenly reported that there was a woman named Lin Jiang outside asking to see him.

"Sister Lin?" Ye Chu laughed as soon as he heard it, "Quickly ask her to come in."

When Lin Jiang came in, Ye Chu almost didn't recognize her at first sight. When she was a "Concubine Wei" in the palace, she was dressed in gorgeous clothes and neat makeup every day, but the one who came in behind Ye Hui was a plain dress A young woman in a sarong and not dyed with makeup, her black hair is tied up on the top of her head with a ribbon, and a long hairpin is placed across her head. Even her complexion is much darker.

"Sister Lin."

Ye Chu greeted him with a smile, Lin Jiang saluted, and said with a smile: "The princess is blessed and safe."

"Sister Lin, don't be so polite." Ye Chu pulled her into the room and sat down, hurriedly asked the servant girl to bring tea, and asked, "Sister Lin, where did you go and where did you come from?

Lin Jiangdao: "If it wasn't for your majesty's urgent summons, I would probably have left Yumen Pass by now."

"Brother summoned urgently?" Ye Chu was surprised, and asked, "What's the matter?"

Lin Jiang looked at her, wondering that she didn't know anything, and said with a smile: "It is said that there is a case that requires me. The princess also knows that I have no relatives in the capital, and there are still some problems with my identity. Others can't believe it. I will go to you first."

Ye Chu smiled and said, "Then sister Lin can stay here with me. It happens that my brother will be guarding the spirit in the palace these few days and he is not at home. Sister Lin will come to be my companion."

Lin Jiang looked at her and couldn't help laughing, there was already an uproar outside, and it was the time of the national funeral, but it was still peaceful and peaceful when stepping into this house, the years were quiet and good, like a paradise.

Lin Jiang suddenly understood the almost morbid protection of the emperor for the girl in front of him.The only thing they have for each other, they care too much about it, so they can no longer tolerate her being unhappy in the slightest.

Lin Jiang said with a smile: "Farewell for a few months, I heard that you and His Majesty are already engaged, and you have also been named princess, congratulations."

Ye Chu smiled, and didn't feel any embarrassment. She and her brother would never be separated.

Ye Chu smiled and said, "Sister Lin, I heard from my brother that Master Wei has been looking for you."

"Hey, he seeks revenge on me." Lin Jiang waved his hand disapprovingly.

Ye Chu knew it well, but everyone has their own ambitions, and everyone has their own destiny, so she just smiled and asked Lin Jiang where she would stay after coming to Beijing, and how long she planned to stay, and when she heard that she might stay for a while, she asked He simply left her to live in the mansion, and asked his servants to tidy up a quiet courtyard for her and come out.

When Wei Chen received the news and came back in a hurry, he heard that Lin Jiang had already lived in the princess mansion next door.

Wei Chen hurriedly called someone in to spread the word, and when the two met after dinner, Wei Chen said helplessly, "Miss Lin, I'm waiting for your help, you still have time to chat and drink tea with the Princess."

"Master Wei said this. I received His Majesty's order and traveled day and night to Beijing. Now Guo Zijin has been poisoned for more than ten days. It will not be long before I die or live. I can't even drink tea?"

"All right, all right, auntie," Wei Chen raised his hand to beg for forgiveness, "Guo Zijin is dead, and I can't solve some questions. Miss Lin, please forgive me, and hurry up and take a look with me."

Lin Jiangdao: "I actually don't understand. There are so many imperial physicians in the palace. Why do I have to be asked to detoxify? If I go all the way, I may not be effective."

"Miss Lin Mingjian, I really have no selfish intentions," Wei Chen explained, "She is not poisoned by common poisons, there are only a few kinds of poisons used in the palace, her poisons are not common, and yours The antidote works, otherwise I would have died, I can only beg you."

The two came to Prince Zhong's Mansion, and now the back house of Prince Zhong's Mansion has almost become a place of armored guards. Guo Zijin was lying on the bed with a face like gold paper, deep in a coma, and his pulse was weak. Lin Jiang inspected it carefully and said nothing on the spot. Signal Wei Shen to go out.

Standing under the corridor, Lin Jiang said to Wei Chen, "It looks like a kind of poison from the miasma in the south of the Five Ridges. It's strange. How could this kind of poison appear in the capital? This kind of poison is not common in Jianghu."

"Even you can't solve it?" Wei Chen asked, "The matter of Guo Zijin's poisoning is very strange, and the matter of Li Daitao's stiffness is related to the future queen. If she dies like this, many things will not be verified. Otherwise, Your Majesty Why did you come all the way to call you back to Beijing?"

Lin Jiang said with a smile: "I just wonder why this poison appeared in the capital, but I didn't say that I can't cure it. Since I can tell its origin, I can cure this poison. If you didn't give her my antidote in time, She died a long time ago. Now it is enough to detoxify the symptoms, but I just need to make some preparations, I will write a list later, you go and get all the things I want, and I will detoxify her tomorrow."

"Great, I knew you could do it." Wei Chen smiled and went out with Lin Jiang.

The two left Prince Zhong's mansion and rode side by side on horseback. Lin Jiangcai said in a low voice, "This poison is not easy to cure, and I'm not sure. It will take a lot of work to cure it. You'd better lead the snake out of its hole. Dogs will always kill them when they are in a hurry." wall jumper."

Before dawn the next day, a group of armored guards surrounded the Zhongwang Mansion, and Wei Chen met Guo Yu in the study of the Qianzhai.

Half a month later, Guo Yu became more calm and silent, looking haggard, and asked silently when he saw Wei: "Master Wei surrounded this king's mansion again early in the morning, what are you going to do?"

"My lord, the Iron Armored Guards caught a servant girl last night and poisoned the handkerchief that Guo Ziyi used to wash and bathe."

Guo Zijin’s residence is guarded by armored guards all the time, the medicine is fried by a doctor, the food will be inspected, the maids who come in will be searched, even the water brought by the maids to wash her body and bathe has been inspected, I don’t want to even put on the handkerchief Can be sprinkled with poisonous powder.

If they hadn't been prepared last night, the servant girl would have been a little embarrassed, and she might really be on the verge of saying it.

Wei Chen said with a smile: "The Iron Armored Guards made an unexpected interrogation overnight. This matter may have something to do with your adopted son Guo Heng. Please, Mr. Guo, come with us and assist in handling the case."

Guo Heng turned pale, and hurriedly said: "Father, this matter has nothing to do with the child, it was not ordered by me, you trust me."

Wei Chen smiled and said nothing, Guo Yu's face was ashen, he was silent for a while and said, "Take him away."

"Father, father, you believe in the child," Guo Heng knelt down, holding Guo Yu's leg and said, "Father, I also hate Guo Zijin. I have loved her as my own sister for so many years. How do I know that she is a fake?" , I hate her, Li Daitao, for blinding us and causing my adoptive father to be separated, but I never ordered anyone to kill her, so why should I kill her."

Wei Chen said with a smile: "Murder kills, if Guo Zijin dies, Mr. Guo will still be the son of the loyal prince. Your lord, do you think what I said is right?"

"Guo Heng," Guo Yu said in a deep voice with slumped shoulders, "What happened back then, Guo Zijin was only a six-year-old child. My king has asked people to investigate these days. Guo Zijin's adoptive parents have been missing for many years. Why did they hide? , besides you, who else can know them? This king never doubted Guo Zijin before, but now that things have come to this, do you really think this king is stupid!"

"Guo Zijin's adoptive parents are dead. Guo Zijin's adoptive parents moved from Bingzhou to Maozhou. Two years ago, a family of five was wiped out." Wei Chen said, "My lord, your adopted son is probably a figure."

The armored guards took Guo Heng away, while Wei Chen went into the palace to meet the emperor.

The emperor during the empress dowager's funeral seems to be in a bad mood. He still has to govern the country during the funeral, and there are many things to do, and because of various cumbersome rituals and funerals, he has been working hard for a while, and he can't return to Ye. Go home to accompany Ye Chu.

Xie Dan felt a little jealous, he was still in mourning, he didn't want to bring his filial piety to the princess' mansion to meet Ye Chu, so he had to bear it by himself.

After listening to Wei Chen's report, Xie Dan nodded indifferently, and said in a low voice, "Take a good trial, and when the result comes out, you must let Guo Yu witness with your own eyes, what are the adopted son and daughter he raised!"
