Princess Jinyang of the Tang Dynasty

Sometimes people just can't let go of their obsessions.If Su's obsession is Li Ke, and her heart has been tied to Li Ke for so many years, then it makes sense for her to venture out and take the opportunity to express herself clearly.Although this incident seemed a bit stupid to Li Mingda, the relationship between a man and a woman is sometimes said to be unreasonable, and it is easy to make people feel stupid.

Li Mingda didn't understand the relationship between men and women, so she didn't delve into this matter too much. She only needed to pay attention to the real evidence.

Now there are two things that must be clarified. First, whether the child in Su's womb really died in an accident.Second, whether Mrs. Su is the flashing "figure" related to her falling off the cliff.

To solve the first question, we only need to start with the maid beside him to understand the circumstances of Su's slipping and falling into the water that day.

When the crown princess visits the garden, she travels lightly, and there are always around twenty people waiting around her.Li Mingda was taboo to scare the snake away, although he couldn't get the testimony of the people around the princess, but it was easy to ask for the testimony of the other young ladies present at the time.

"The maidservant remembers that the Crown Princess exclaimed suddenly, saying that she saw a big red carp in the pond. She wanted to get a closer look, but accidentally slipped her foot and fell into the pond."

Li Mingda has heard about this for a long time, but today she needs to know some details, "Fall forward, or fall backward?"

The maid thought about it carefully, and told Li Mingda with certainty, "It fell forward, and the whole body fell into the pool face-to-face."

Li Mingda fell into thought when he heard this, and immediately felt weird.She has already investigated, the place where Su Shi slipped and fell is a very gentle slope, not to mention that the stones on the bank that were cleaned and arranged by the palace people are a bit dry, so it is not easy to fall.Even if he really fell, a normal person slipped his foot, and he must instinctively not want to fall into the river. The most natural reaction of the body is to lean back and try to stay away from the water in the pool, but Su Shi leaned forward abnormally and fell into the pool. It's like jumping in actively or being pushed in by someone.Then no one pushed Su Shi, and she was the only one left to jump into this possibility.

But even if Su Shi fell into the pool, because the pool is shallow and muddy, there may not be any harm to his body.Moreover, after she fell into Hanoi, palace officials came to rescue her immediately, and did not let her stay in the water for too long.At that time, several court ladies who participated in the rescue of Mrs. Su all said that the process from Mrs. Su's fall into the river to her support took less than six or seven sentences.But after Su Shi was helped up, he covered his stomach, his face was pale, and something happened.

Li Mingda asked them again to confirm that when Su Shi fell and stood up, there was no injury on his body.

"Before the accident, when she didn't fall into the river, what was her complexion like, but she was rosy and radiant?"

Li Mingda's question caused the maids to fall into memory again, and then everyone looked at each other and communicated with each other to confirm with their eyes, and a more courageous court lady shook her head at Li Mingda first.

"This maid is very impressed. When the crown princess was visiting the garden, her complexion was a bit unwell, without any blood. The maid also noticed that the crown princess frowned occasionally, as if, as if... as if she had endured a lot of pain. At that time, the maid was still wondering, since the Crown Princess is not feeling well, why does she have to go to the garden?"

"The servant girl also remembered this. At that time, the servant girl had no intention of sneaking a glance at the prince's lower body. The skirt was shaking slightly. At that time, the servant girl was wondering where the evil wind was blowing like this. Only now Come to understand, she is likely to be caused by her legs trembling faintly, forcing herself to walk."

"Yes, the servant girl saw it too."

"So does the maidservant."

More and more people agreed, with a total of nine people.

After Li Mingda ordered someone to make a record, he then asked whether the clothes left by the princess on the day of the miscarriage had been disposed of.A little maid heard this and hurriedly said that it had been burned.

Li Mingda's eyes became sharper as the palace maid glanced at her.The little maid was immediately looked at with a guilty conscience.

"you're lying."

The little palace maid hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, tremblingly said: "The servant girl knows her mistake, please spare her life! It should have been burned that day to remove the filth. But after the maidservant took the clothes and saw that the material was good, she felt a little reluctant, so she It has been kept secretly until now. I thought that when the wind passed, I would take it out, wash it, and treasure it.”

The so-called treasures of the little palace ladies are actually the private hobbies of these palace ladies.Secretly keep some unnecessary clothes of the nobles in the palace, and wear them to show off in private.Of course, this kind of thing is extremely private, and only court ladies who are very close to each other will play like this.

Li Mingda ordered someone to bring up the clothes immediately, and it could be seen that the blood stains on the skirt had dried up and turned black.In addition to smelling some bloody and rotten smell, Li Mingda also found that there were two layers of dried blood stains on the skirt, the first layer of blood stains was relatively small, and the latter layer was more, covering it up.The two layers of blood are mixed together, and the difference is not too light for ordinary people at first glance, but Li Mingda is different, she can see the thick blood stain on the skirt, and can accurately distinguish the edge of the blood stain that dries first.

If Su's fall into the river led to a miscarriage.The clothes on her body must be removed before the blood stains dry, so that there is only one layer of blood stains formed.But now the blood stains on Su's clothes have dried up one layer, and then covered with another layer, which means that before Su's fall into the river, the inside of Su's skirt was already stained with blood.

Based on this, it means that before the Su family fell into the river, there were already signs of a miscarriage and bleeding began.This is also the reason why those court ladies saw Su Shi's face was pale and his legs seemed to be shaking before Su Shi fell into the water.

Knowing that she would have a miscarriage, Mrs. Su didn't immediately announce to the imperial physician for diagnosis and treatment. Instead, she endured the pain and walked step by step to the pond far away from the sleeping hall, and fell into the water by a false fall.

why?

After much deliberation, Li Mingda had only one reason.

This child was Su's, she didn't want it herself, her miscarriage was caused by her medication, and she couldn't hide it no matter what because of the miscarriage and bleeding, etc., it was inevitable that the imperial physician would diagnose other causes of miscarriage and expose herself, so She chose to find an obvious reason on her own to cover up.

Li Mingda really had to suspect that the child in Su's womb might not belong to her elder brother by taking so much trouble to let the child go.But if it was someone else's child, Li Mingda couldn't think of the possibility that someone else could make Su pregnant in this deep palace.Su Shi is the crown princess, every word and deed is watched by people around her, besides the eunuchs, she is surrounded by court ladies, do you want her to have adultery with other men?There has to be another man.However, the palace rules are strict, it is impossible to have such an opportunity.

Tian Hanshan immediately thought of a possibility, "My lord, could it be that Yu Feng is a fake eunuch?"

Li Mingda looked at Tian Hanshan helplessly, thinking that what he said was too ridiculous.When the eunuch enters the palace cleanly, he has to go through several inspections. Besides, Yu Feng has lived in the palace for more than ten years, how could he keep such a big secret from him.

However, out of complete caution, Li Mingda asked Tian Hanshan to send someone to confirm it.Li Mingda then got the report in the early morning of the next day, and as she expected, Yu Feng was a real eunuch.

"That's weird, the princess is so nice, why don't you want this child?" Tian Hanshi looked sad, he didn't understand, "This woman's heart is sometimes too deep, it's really hard to figure it out!"

After sighing, Tian Hanshan looked at Li Mingda, suddenly felt that what he said was inappropriate, and hurriedly apologized to his noble lord.

"Some women's hearts are indeed as you said, a bit difficult to figure out." After hearing Tian Hanshu's words, Li Mingda suddenly had another idea in his heart.

After noon, Li Mingda saw Li Chengqian retreating from Li Shimin's side, and hurriedly called him to stop.

"Brother, is sister-in-law okay?" Li Mingda asked.

Li Chengqian glanced at Li Mingda angrily, then raised his finger and pointed at her, "Little girl, I was about to tell you about this, but you should talk about it first, just in time for us to have a chat."

Li Chengqian and Li Mingda then stayed alone in the house.

"I heard that you are investigating your sister-in-law." Li Chengqian asked immediately.

"Brother knows." Li Mingda was not surprised. After all, when she investigates, there will always be a few people who know about it, and some of these people will not be able to keep their mouths shut and spread the news.Her investigation is not a shameful thing, the reason why she keeps a low profile is just not to cause unnecessary trouble, but it doesn't have to be sealed and the news is not leaked.

Seeing that Li Mingda was not ashamed, Li Chengqian took a deep breath, wandered around the room with his hands behind his back, then with a look of ruthlessness on his face, he raised his finger and pointed at Li Mingda, "You are really calm, the matter of your sister-in-law Do you need to intervene? She has already had a miscarriage, and she is very sad. At this time, you suspect her and investigate her, and let her know how she will feel. "

"Brother is not curious why she had a miscarriage?" Li Mingda asked.

Li Chengqian's eyeballs moved, and he narrowed his eyes, "Miscarriage is miscarriage. If you know the reason, you will get the baby back. The most important thing now is to let your sister-in-law take care of her health as soon as possible, and then give birth to a few more grandchildren. I have everything."

"I think elder brother knows the reason." Li Mingda read a lot from Li Chengqian's expression of no curiosity and impatience.

Li Chengqian was stunned for a moment, and then met Li Mingda's eyes.He frowned fiercely, tried his best not to get angry, and said to Li Mingda in a bad tone: "Sis, sometimes you will suffer if you are too smart. You don't need to worry about me and your sister-in-law. You don't need to worry about this matter. until."

"Okay, I'll just save face for big brother and not go into the matter of why she deliberately let me have a miscarriage. Then what about my falling off a cliff, didn't big brother support me to find out the truth before?"

Li Chengqian frowned: "Falling off the cliff? What does your falling off the cliff have to do with your sister-in-law? I remember that she didn't leave the palace that day."

"Are you sure? Did you see her in the East Palace that day?" Li Mingda asked.

Hearing her question, Li Chengqian had expected something, his eyes were still full of resentment and annoyance, but he was not sure about this matter.

Li Mingda still faced Li Chengqian calmly with bright eyes, "If she pushed Sizi down the cliff, how would Big Brother feel, or is Sizi meddling in other people's business?"

"Sister-in-law, that's your sister-in-law. She is so pure and kind that she would even let a mosquito eat her blood. It's too late for her to like you, so how can she hurt you? You have evil thoughts in your heart, and you use yourself to judge others It is." Li Chengqian said.

Li Mingda glanced at Li Chengqian, said Boaoqian, turned around and immediately ordered someone to arrest Yu Feng immediately, and specially ordered to go down and tell the princess about Yu Feng's arrest.

Li Chengqian was furious, and grabbed Li Mingda's hand, "Si, how long are you going to make trouble? Isn't it enough to have Aye doting on you in every possible way, and you have to mess up the East Palace before you are willing?"
