[Red House] Harem Road in Spring

Chapter 128 Inside Story

Although she is unwilling to continue to be Concubine Zhen's pawn, but thinking that Concubine Zhen has been in power in the palace for many years, and she has a handle in her hands, she can only pretend to be a snake, pretending not to resist, and secretly planning to break away from Concubine Zhen control.

The first step she has to do is to weaken Concubine Zhen's influence in the palace. Only when Concubine Zhen's control decreases, can she have a greater chance to plan.

So, she gave Guo Meiren a medicine that can delay menstruation and change the pulse condition, and then arranged for Guo Meiren to "abort", exposing the fact that the concubine in the palace was given the harmful contraceptive pill to everyone.

During this period, in order to prevent Concubine Zhen from doubting her, she even pointed some less fatal evidence at herself, making herself a suspect.

When the deadliest evidence pointed to Concubine Zhen's confidant, and when Concubine Zhen wanted Li Daitao to be a guarantor, she put Dongzhu, a tribute belonging to Concubine Zhen that she secretly bought from the maid, on Zhen Taigui's confidant.Sure enough, the emperor did not disappoint her, he searched the room of Concubine Zhen's confidant by mistake, and found the token she had put away in advance.

Originally, she thought that after this design, Concubine Zhen should be crippled anyway, but it is a shame that there is a high-ranking servant who is willing to take the blame for Concubine Zhen, and confesses all the crimes. Concubine Zhen has great influence in the palace Lost, but also escaped unharmed.

But fortunately, when planning these, she has always been hidden behind, not exposed.

Concubine Zhen's great loss of power also made it easier for her to get back her handle.And the most important point is that she can get pregnant openly!

After she found out that she was pregnant, she stepped up the pace of planning while pretending to be sick and hiding in the Changchun Palace.

Some time ago, she dragged her pregnant body, and finally got back the handle.

Now, even if Concubine Zhen said that she belonged to her, no one would believe her.She can finally have a baby with peace of mind.

The person who has the deepest grudge against her is Concubine Zhen, and [-]% of the people who murdered her this time are Concubine Zhen's people.

Concubine Gui, Concubine Shu, and Concubine Xian are also suspicious. This time, they just don't have the ability or the opportunity to attack her. Once they have the opportunity, they will never let it go.

So, this time, I will leave it to the emperor to investigate. If she can find out the concubine Zhen, she will get her wish. Concubine Xian and Concubine Shu splashed on their bodies.

A light flashed in Concubine De's eyes, and then disappeared. She looked at the emperor pitifully.

"Originally, the concubine was thinking about ghosts and gods, but after thinking about it later, the concubine is a demon, and the palace is protected by the emperor's true dragon and heavenly spirit. How dare the little ghosts come to invade?"

Concubine De explained that she did not forget to flatter the emperor.

"Since it's not a ghost, it must be because of human beings. Therefore, the concubine asked people to carefully inspect the Changchun Palace, including all the daily life and food of the concubine. Sure enough, the concubine discovered the clue."

Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on her, Concubine De said, "I found black hair on the bed of my concubine. After comparison, it was the shedding hair of a black cat. And in this main hall of my concubine, I found a The gap that has been restored can allow a kitten to slip through. What happened last night was clearly that someone deliberately stuffed a black cat into Chenqie's bed while Chenqie was asleep, and when Chenqie woke up, she was frightened by the black cat. At the same time, Chenqie also surprised the black cat, and the black cat, which had been trained long ago, escaped from the gap that was left in advance while Chenqie was in a state of despair."

Concubine De smiled and said, "After finding out this point, I will know that the sound of footsteps in the middle of the night and the fact that I woke up in the middle of the night are definitely man-made. I can't find who did these things, but I can't find out who did these things. The concubine knows that the person who can do these things is definitely a family thief. The Changchun Palace is so big and there are only dozens of people in the palace, so the concubine asked these palace people to prove to each other to see who disappeared for a while when the incident happened. Five people came out."

"In addition, the concubine woke up in the middle of the night. The concubine was pregnant. The two people who were responsible for some of the concubine's meals and decorations, a total of seven people, are now being imprisoned in the back palace. The concubine asked the emperor to make decisions for the concubine and find out the real culprit. , handle it strictly according to the law." Concubine De begged bitterly.

"Concubine De, don't worry, I will not let go of the villain who murdered my son."

The emperor comforted the concubine De, but the emperor who spoke so thoughtfully was far away from the concubine De, so Yingchun couldn't help but began to guess the emperor's inner world at this time.

"Zhang De, take the seven people mentioned by Concubine De to the torture room for interrogation." The emperor ordered.

"Yes"

"Zhou Li, arrange for the palace servants to search the palace carefully to see if they can find any traces of the black cat."

"Yes"

"Report to Your Majesty, Imperial Physician She Gui is asking to see you."

She Gui?The person who hadn't "diagnosed" that Concubine De was pregnant in the two Ping An pulses and that Concubine De wanted to get rid of.

"Xuan" the emperor's voice became cold.

"Yes"

With his head down, She Gui staggered in holding a booklet. Judging from his appearance, he should be in his thirties or forties. After he entered the hall, he knelt down heavily on the ground with a "plop".

"The guilty minister, She Gui kowtowed to the emperor and all the empresses." She Gui lowered her head.

"She Gui, Concubine De is obviously pregnant for more than three months, why didn't you diagnose it when you asked for the Ping'an pulse earlier? You know that the matter of the emperor's heir is of great importance and cannot be ignored." The emperor asked.

"Reporting to the emperor, when the guilty minister asked for the pulse of the Concubine De, the pulse of the Concubine De did not show any good news."

"Could it be possible that the three imperial physicians consulted last night and concluded that De Concubine was conceived, and that De Concubine was three months pregnant?" The emperor asked again.

"This..." She Gui didn't know how to reply, what should he say, after the concubines became pregnant, they tried every means to conceal the time of disclosure.

Because what happened that day was too special, and he couldn't forget it even if he wanted to.

Concubine De was sleeping on the bed, and the bed curtain tightly surrounded the scene inside the bed. Only one arm stretched out of the bed curtain for him to check the pulse. He did diagnose from the pulse that the owner of the arm was not pregnant and had a cold, but God knows if that arm belongs to Concubine De?

Now that the incident happened, he can probably guess that Concubine De must have found a court lady who was suffering from a cold to hide in the bed curtain in advance to replace Concubine De and stretched out her arm for him to check the pulse. Afterwards, Concubine De also lifted the bed curtain Come out and ask about your condition.

It is too deliberate for a person who has a cold to hang around in front of his eyes without taking a good rest.

"The emperor's heir in Concubine De's belly was murdered by gangsters, did you participate in it?" The emperor asked again.

This time, She Gui was terrified. If he was punished for his inexperienced medical skills, he would not have died anyway if he admitted it. But if it was the crime of murdering the emperor's heir, it would easily be the crime of ransacking his family and exterminating his family. He couldn't afford it.

She Gui knelt down on the ground and kowtowed heavily. At this time, he didn't care about the possibility of exposing the concubines in the palace who concealed their pregnancy after they were pregnant. Announcing the pregnancy status before three months of pregnancy is not good for the fetus, so most of them choose to announce it after three months. Moreover, when the minister took the pulse of the concubine De, the concubine De was hidden in the bed curtain, and the guilty minister could not be sure at that time It's checking the pulse of Empress Defei."

"Is there such a thing?" The emperor asked Concubine De.

"Your Majesty, my concubine was wronged. If my concubine really wanted to hide it, she would tell the emperor the truth and ask for his understanding before concealing the pregnancy. How could she even hide it from you, your majesty? Besides, the most pregnant person It is easy to encounter accidents, and the concubine still thinks that the emperor will protect the concubine's mother and child, so how dare to hide it from the emperor? If the concubine could know that she is pregnant earlier, and report to the emperor earlier, with the protection of the emperor, how could the concubine be here? Distressed yesterday?" Concubine De's expression was very aggrieved, with tears streaming down her face.

"Physician She, failing to diagnose Bengong's pregnancy is due to your lack of skill, so why bother to shirk responsibility? Someone is going to murder Bengong and his heir, but you concealed Bengong's pregnancy and did not report it." , Bengong has to wonder, are you creating opportunities for those who murdered Bengong to murder Bengong?"

"The guilty minister was wronged. The guilty minister did not dare to murder the emperor's heir even though he had the courage to do so. When the guilty minister took the pulse of the concubine, he did not find out that he was pregnant. I beg the emperor to learn from her." She Gui kowtowed again to express his feelings.

At this point in the matter, She Gui understood that Concubine De wanted to get rid of him.

He recalled the previous events. After the Emperor sealed off the harem, he was unfortunately assigned to ask for the peace pulse of Concubine De of Changchun Palace. It's more like trying to win over.

A concubine wants to subdue an imperial physician to work for her. If the imperial physician can serve in the harem, she will be dismissed from office and investigated, and at worst, her family will be ransacked. This is a lesson learned in the imperial hospital. How dare he agree?So he politely declined.

After the refusal, the concubine de concubine did not pester him any more, which made him feel relieved, but who knows, when the concubine asked for peace pulse for the penultimate time, the concubine de concubine actually repeated the old saying, and the words Very tough.

Concubine De's stubborn attitude made him think of ransacking his family and exterminating his family, how could he dare to agree?

Thinking about it carefully, the change in Concubine De's attitude came after the emperor allowed the head concubine of the harem to summon her natal family members, so it can be guessed that Concubine De restrained herself because she didn't know his background. The concubine became even tougher about wooing him, every move seemed to tell him, either become her confidant and do things for her, or die!

If it's an ordinary person, it's nothing more than helping with some errands, but in the deep palace, especially the concubine of the deep palace, secretly and cautiously win him over, what he thinks of is to murder other concubines and the good emperor's heir, this If it is exposed, not only will he die, but his family members will also be questioned, how can he dare to agree?

Later, Concubine De's attitude became more and more tough, and he began to be afraid of going to the Changchun Palace as the one who asked for Concubine De's peace, and even moved to stab all this to the Emperor or Shangfeng to see how Concubine De would end up.

However, Concubine De probably guessed what he was thinking, and actually used such means when asking for the Ping'an pulse for the penultimate time. Just thinking about Concubine De's actions, She Gui felt chills all over her body and broke out in cold sweat.

The green bamboo snake's mouth, the hornet's tail and the needle, the poison of these two is well known in the world, but they are not as poisonous as the heart of the most poisonous woman.

He thought, from now on, except for that stupid woman in the family, he will never dare to contact these women again, if he meets another femme fatale like Concubine De, their family will be ruined.

As for the fact that Concubine De had been trying to win him over, she could only expose it and not mention it.Because did he know that if Concubine De was allowed to accuse An Zhi of the crime, at most he would kill him alone. To be buried for this matter, he still knows how to choose between his own life and the life of the whole family.

In today's world, he is even more eager to hide the matter of wooing him than Concubine De, and this is probably the reason why Concubine De is so confident!

For a moment, She Gui felt that she was in the net of the Concubine De, and she couldn't get out. Some disheartened, She Gui simply admitted her mistake, "It's because the guilty minister is not good at learning, and failed to diagnose the concubine's concubine. Pulse, please forgive the emperor."

Murdering the emperor's heir is a felony, and it will bring harm to the clan. He will never admit it, but he can only confess the crime of not being good at learning, so as to avoid the more serious crimes imposed on him by Defei.

The emperor was very satisfied with She Gui's attitude of admitting his mistake, and turned his head to ask Concubine De, "You have suffered all this time, and the initial knot was on She Gui. If She Gui diagnosed that you were pregnant early, would you If you are careful, you may not encounter this kind of disaster, you are the one who suffers, and in your opinion, how should this situation be dealt with."

"Your Majesty." Concubine De lovingly caressed her unprotruded belly, and said considerately, "This concubine is pregnant with the emperor's own child, and the emperor must be as sad as the concubine when the emperor's heir encounters such a disaster. How to deal with She Gui is up to the emperor's orders."

She Gui, who was kneeling on the ground, felt as if his spirit had been taken away for a moment, he understood what Concubine De meant.On the surface, it looks generous, but it keeps reminding the emperor that the accident happened to the emperor's own child, the emperor's heir, and there is no bloodshed in the accident of the emperor's heir. Concubine De didn't want to spare his life.

He closed his eyes in embarrassment, but She Gui didn't have any regrets in his heart, as long as he didn't implicate his family.

"En!" The emperor nodded, approved what Concubine De said, and punished him, "She Gui is not skilled in academic skills but holds the position of imperial physician, and now she is even more incompetent for the position of imperial physician, which almost caused a catastrophe. With good intentions and sincere repentance, I will punish the [-] boards, deprive me of the post of imperial physician, be demoted to a doctor, and be fined for two years."

She Gui, who was kneeling, was a little confused, didn't he push out the Meridian Gate to behead him?His life—was it saved?

Concubine De has already regretted that her intestines are all tangled together. What she has always pursued is that if you beat a snake to death, you will suffer from it. With such generosity, when the emperor asks her opinion, she will not hypocritically want to gain the emperor's favor and not express her opinion.

If I knew it earlier, I would have known it earlier... But the imperial decree has been issued and it is a foregone conclusion.

The emperor's punishment is indeed light, twenty sticks are just a matter of lying on the bed for a few days.

As for the deprivation of the post of Imperial Physician, the posts in the Imperial Hospital are divided into five grades. The top rank is the Imperial Physician who consults the Emperor, Empress, Empress Dowager, Supreme Emperor, etc.; The emperor will also bestow imperial physicians to treat the families of ministers in the imperial court, and She Gui is one of them; the third class is the official, who sees the concubines below the lord in the palace; the fourth class is the doctor, who treats the low-ranking concubines and eunuchs in the palace Palace people see a doctor; the fifth class is a doctor who has just been condemned and demoted by the emperor.

Except for the appointment of the top imperial doctor who needs the permission of the emperor, others, like the imperial examination, can be promoted to a higher level after passing the exam, but She Gui was admitted by virtue of her real ability, and she had to wait for a year or so In the limelight, it will only be easier than before to be admitted to the position of imperial physician.

As for the penalty salary, those who have medical skills get most of their income from rewards, and they don't pay much attention to that salary.

After regaining consciousness, She Gui knocked her head heavily on the ground excitedly, "Thank you, the guilty minister, for your forgiveness, the emperor's great kindness and virtue will never be forgotten by the criminal minister."

He was grateful for the kindness and generosity of the emperor. A scholar died for his confidant, and the grace of saving his life should be repaid. Since this life was left by the emperor, it will belong to the emperor from now on. He must offer his loyalty.

"Although the case of She Gui has come to fruition, I have discovered that there is a loophole in the matter of the peace pulse in the palace. Concubine Gui, Concubine Shu, and Concubine Xian, do you have any good suggestions?" the emperor asked.

He wanted to change this a long time ago, but unfortunately there was no good excuse for no reason.It is extremely easy to be bribed for an imperial doctor to ask a concubine for peace of mind.

Concubine Gui, Yingchun, and Concubine Xian looked at each other. This question was too simple. The emperor asked the three of them in order to give credit to them.

The eyes of the three people reached an agreement, and the noble concubine came out and said, "My majesty, you can draw lots for those who ask the concubines to ask for the peace pulse, or take turns to ask the concubines for the peace pulse. Don't fix it as an imperial doctor. If he made a wrong diagnosis, he can still make up for it by asking the imperial physician of Ping An Mai."

The emperor nodded in satisfaction, "Just as the concubine said."

The emperor not only praised the noble concubine, Yingchun and Xianfei were also praised by the emperor with excuses, but today's protagonist, the concubine De, who was lying on the bed, was excluded.

Eunuch Zhang and the emperor's people are quick to do things, and they have come in to reply not long after they left. It seems that the result of the interrogation has come out. I don't know, who will the evidence point to this time?
