[Red Mansion] Sister Lin's sweet pet after marriage

It was said that Concubine Zhen was busy rushing back to the palace, and she heard a series of shouts from a distance, mixed with the scolding and screams of the palace people, drifting into her ears with the rustling wind.

I saw a maidservant with disheveled hair in the Yonghe Palace, crying and saying: "The Habayashi army who appeared out of nowhere, the maidservant was preparing things for the mother, and was pushed out by a group of people. This is not Tai Sui!" Break ground on your head?"

Concubine Zhen was in a daze when she heard her nanny crying and screaming, she kept shouting: "My good lady, I'm back! That group of rummaging people in boots and hats came to get things , Said to search for some paper figurine evidence!"

After hearing this, Concubine Zhen couldn't help being startled, her pretty face couldn't hide her surprise and anger, and she asked sharply, "Let me be clear word by word, on whose order did they dare to search the Yonghe Palace?"

The nun regained her composure, gritted her teeth and wiped her tears, and said, "It is said that according to the emperor's order, someone reported the art of prospering and hating victory in the Yonghe Palace, causing trouble in the palace, and the Habayashi guards will come to investigate and find out."

Upon hearing this, Concubine Zhen was so angry that her eyebrows stood on end, and she shouted tremblingly: "Stop talking nonsense! I will go to His Majesty now, and see which bastard with a rotten tongue dares to spread rumors like this?"

Unexpectedly, after walking two or three steps, the guards guarding in front of the palace gate saw her coming, and turned their faces to stop her and said, "Imperial concubine, the emperor has a decree to ask your empress to rest in the Yonghe Palace, and you are not allowed to move around at will."

Concubine Zhen protected her swollen abdomen with one hand, and asked in disbelief: "The emperor's personal order? Did you hear a single word?"

The guard glanced at her coldly, nodded and said: "Don't dare to do anything lightly. There is an order to handle the matter, and the emperor asked the Yonghe Palace to accept the order. Just now, the empress went out and waited for a long time, otherwise the door would have been closed. "

Concubine Zhen didn't have time to ask any more, when she suddenly saw two Habayashi guards rushing forward, holding two or three paper figurines cut out with scissors and a green-faced ghost nailed with needles, and called the other people to wait: "There is a decree: I have found solid evidence, the imperial concubine is grounded, and the rest are guarded. Slowly investigate again!"

This remark didn't matter, it made everyone in the Yonghe Palace look at each other, only to see Concubine Zhen who had opened her eyes and listened to her before, but then fell to the ground when she leaned back, and the attendants on both sides were in a panic again, and they all burst into tears stand up.

The Yonghe Palace is busy here, and Emperor Yongqing is sitting in his dormitory with a gloomy face. He saw Eunuch Xia holding the collected items, knelt down and said: "Two paper figurines and many forbidden things were found in Yonghe Palace. Don’t dare to act presumptuously, come back and ask the emperor to have a look.”

After all, Emperor Yongqing only took a look at those paper figures and asked with a hint of disgust, "Where did you find them all?"

Eunuch Xia hurriedly replied: "Buried under the tree in the backyard of Yonghe Palace." Pausing for a while, he glanced at the top, and added with some hesitation: "That direction is facing Kunning Palace, and this The Nian Geng of the former empress and the first prince are written on the two paper figurines, there is no such thing as a coincidence."

After hearing this, Emperor Yongqing picked it up and looked it over twice. The veins on the sun suddenly popped out, and said coldly: "Go, separate those who are locked up in the Yonghe Palace, and pry their mouths open one by one." I just want to see who dared to disrespect the former empress after eating the bear's heart."

Eunuch Xia hurriedly agreed, and stepped back to deal with it.Emperor Yongqing was furious, and leaned on the couch in a somewhat exhausted manner. His fingers unintentionally touched the dragon and phoenix pillow towel embroidered by Meng Yuyu himself that day, and said to himself sadly: "After all, you are the only one who is sincere. , it's all Gu's fault, I only know your goodness now..."

In the first month of the 13th year of Yongqing, Habayashi received an anonymous letter and reported it to the emperor. He was ordered to find the paper man cursed by the five ghosts in the backyard of the Yonghe Palace, and wrote to Nian Geng, the former queen and prince. His sinister intentions are self-evident.Afterwards, the members of the Yonghe Palace were imprisoned for interrogation, and even Concubine Zhen Gui, who was pregnant with dragon descendants, was also grounded, causing the entire Daming Palace to become an uproar.

When the news came out, there was a lot of righteous indignation inside and outside the palace.In particular, the Fuguo Gong Meng, who represented the lineage of the former empress, was tearful in the Mingde Hall, denouncing such despicable and vicious acts, and implored the emperor to avenge the hatred of the former empress; Jiangnan Zhen immediately clarified and refuted, thinking that It must be someone with a heart who planted the frame and put the blame on. There should be a strict interrogation to find out who is behind the scenes and clean up the grievances of Concubine Zhen.

The two factions were at loggerheads over the "Curse of the Five Ghosts" incident. Emperor Yongqing, considering their respective forces, ordered the Clan Mansion to take charge of the case, which must be fair and strict.The current supreme official of the Zongren Mansion, Zong Renling, is exactly King Lian Shuilan, and the left and right Zongzheng are both clans, so with the help of King Lian as the leader, a large-scale interrogation was carried out.

Although this Zhen family is in the palace, she knows the benefits and harms well. If she is convicted of the crime, she is afraid that her life will be in danger. Inquire about the trend of the matter, and Chu Chen's details.

The Zhen family spent money to inquire for a few days, and they already knew the origin of Chu Chen, and they were all very happy.The next day when Shui Lan was sitting in the hall, people from Yonghe Palace and Kunning Palace came to speak to each other. Suddenly someone came to report and said: "Your Majesty called King Lian to enter the palace, and make sense quickly!"

As soon as Shui Lan entered the palace, Zhen's father and Fu Guogong were already there. Seeing that the Yongqing Emperor above him looked unhappy, he bowed down and asked, "Your Majesty summoned your ministers, why?"

Emperor Yongqing threw the notebook in front of him, and said: "King Lian, let's see for himself. Mrs. Zhen said that someone purposely set this trap to squeeze her out, and mentioned that someone saw Chu Chen appearing in Yonghe Palace in a strange way that day." Nearby, what does King Lian think are related?"

After hearing this, Shui Lan was not in a hurry, and said with a smile: "I don't know who the concubine said, why don't you pass it on and correct it, won't you understand?"

Seeing him like this, Mrs. Zhen couldn't hold back any longer, and first snapped at him: "King Lian didn't say that Chu Chen was right, did he intend to cover him up?" Before anyone could say anything, he said in a deep voice: "According People reported that King Lian had contacts with Chu Chen many years ago, since both parties were involved in this matter, King Lian presided over the case and could not convince the public."

Shui Lan smiled, cupped his hands to Emperor Yongqing and said, "Your Majesty knows that Chu Chen and my minister did have a relationship many years ago. When my minister obeyed the imperial decree to guard the imperial tomb, Chu Chen's old village was in the imperial tomb. Nearby, these can be verified.”

Emperor Yongqing was a sensible person. Hearing this, he turned his face and said calmly: "Since the emperor uncle said so, Mr. Zhen has doubts. Send someone to ask and you will know everything. Besides, even if the emperor uncle has seen Chu Chen, it's not a big deal, Mr. Zhen is a little more sensitive."

Father Zhen hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Chu Chen must be scheming around the Yonghe Palace. Yichen said that he should be taken to the clan's residence for torture and interrogation!"

Fu Guogong didn't wait for him to finish, but he sneered: "Your Majesty, Prince Lian is still in charge of this case. Mr. Zhen is so eager to take over and interrogate Chu Chen. Could it be that he wants to divert attention?"

After finishing speaking, even Emperor Yongqing couldn't help but look at Zhen's father, but his face turned red when he saw him, and he poked his neck to distinguish: "Fuguo Gong's words are wrong, I just want to arrest the real murderer as soon as possible, and serve as the first queen." Both Zhen Guifei and Zhen Guifei will seek justice."

Fu Guogong laughed again, and said disapprovingly: "Master Zhen is so enthusiastic about throwing out clues, I'm afraid it's better not to be a thief calling for a thief."

Seeing the two seriously arguing, Shui Lanyin sighed and reported to Emperor Yongqing: "This case is complicated and confusing, and there are many clues. As the clan's order, it is my duty to do so. I have also sorted out many testimonies, which coincide with Concubine Zhen's confession, since it was brought up today, why don't you invite the two adults to read it together."

As he spoke, he presented the testimony of the maids in the two palaces.Emperor Yongqing and the other two looked at it, and they all said that it was Concubine Zhen who was acting strangely that day, and the guards of Habayashi also confirmed that Concubine Zhen entered from outside the Yonghe Palace when the evidence was searched.The original words of Yonghe Gong'e are: On this day, after dinner, the imperial concubine suddenly said that she was afraid of food accumulation and wanted to go away, so she left everyone and went out. She didn't come back for about half an hour, and the only one who was accompanied by the dowry maid was the only one.

Emperor Yongqing's eyes dimmed, and the words burst out like ice beads: "Let Prince Lian go and find out, where did Concubine Zhen go that day, Gu wants to know immediately!"

As soon as the words were finished, Shui Lan curled the corner of her mouth silently, and ordered someone to bring Concubine Zhen's dowry maid to the prison, and she didn't sit in the court herself, and told the two relatives on the left and right to go to the trial.

The girl kept her mouth shut at first, but the two clansmen had always been related to the Meng family, and Kuang was bribed again, and she only said that she would give a confession through torture. After being coerced and lured for a while, he turned over the confession and insisted that Concubine Zhen and Chu Chen had an affair and asked him to help cover it up. As for the curse of the five ghosts, I really don't know.

The confession was presented to Shui Lan, and he shook his head after reading it: "This girl is talking nonsense. Even if Concubine Zhen and Chu Chen do have an affair, it is so obvious that they are in the palace. Could it be that you are stupid? If it is true, she has to talk about it. Now that the Zhen family is bent on punishing Chu Chen, why not think about it?"

The two clansmen were helpless, so they had no choice but to come back, and only ordered people to find the guards and others in Tiantian Palace, and they wanted to find Chu Chen for a counterpoint.Shui Lan brought up this original meaning, and secretly sent Wen Renyu to tell Chu Chen, saying: "Now tell the truth, tell the details of how you were tricked into the palace that day, let alone lotus cream, just say that you accidentally ran into Concubine Zhen The paper man in his hand, this is the reason."

Chu Chen thought about it for a while, and was summoned to court the next day. He explained the whole story clearly and clearly, and finally swallowed the matter about the paper man.When the two relatives heard it, they looked at each other in unison, and they had to come to see Shui Lan and tell what they had done.

After Shui Lan listened, Yin sighed deeply: "There is a cause and effect in this confession. You go to try the dowry girl again. If this is the reason, we have to report it truthfully."

When the two clans heard this, they first told Fu Guogong the inside story.After the death of the first empress, Concubine Zhen was favored by a private house, and Meng family wanted to use this to eradicate her enemies, so she stepped up her actions secretly, promising gold and silver to the girl's family, and planned to put Concubine Zhen to death.

That day, Shui Lan came back after finishing his business, and went to Daiyu's room first. Seeing the Xiang curtain hanging down, it was quiet, and only a snow goose was outside, so he asked, "Is Madam sleeping?"

Xueyan was about to speak, when a soft call came from the room: "Xueyan, bring the medicine in."

Shui Lan shook his head at Snow Goose, walked into the room silently, the room smelled of aloes, Daiyu was leaning on the rattan chair reading a book, her temple hair was all scattered, she sat on the side and slowly tidied her up , said with a smile: "Your body is healed, what medicine do you still drink?"

Daiyu was obviously taken aback, her cheeks were blushing, "Why didn't you send a message first when the lord came, have you ever used dinner? I asked Qiu Wan to prepare the dinner."

Shui Lan held her cool hand and frowned: "Don't be busy, eat some food outside, why are your hands so cold? I'm not here, you should take care of yourself."

There was a hint of peach blossom in the corner of her eyes, and Daiyu said shyly, "Where are you not taking care? Qiuwan comes to stare at me every day for dinner. By the way, have you tasted the steamed sugar cheese that I learned to cook? "

Shui Lan lowered her head and kissed her hand, and said with a smile: "After eating, it's so sweet to my heart. It's just that I have been busy recently, and I don't have time to accompany my wife. When Zhen's cooking is finished, I should spend more time with my wife and my wife." Little taro."

Because Daiyu asked about the reason why Zhen's feet were grounded, Shui Lan didn't intend to hide it from her, and told the words made up by Jiao Chuchen in detail.Dai Yuyin nodded and said incessantly: "My lord has ordered Master Chu not to mention the hibiscus ointment for now, but what concerns do you have?"

Shui Lan hugged her shoulders, and said in a deep voice: "The curse case has involved both the Zhen family and the Meng family, but there is still one person watching from the sidelines. I will use hibiscus ointment to lure him out, so I can wait for the opportunity to play with it, madam." Do you know who it is?"

Daiyu thought for a while, before revealing two dimples: "I guess, what the prince is talking about is the King of Beijing."

"The one who knows me is Yu'er." Shui Lan kissed her earlobe, and continued with a smile: "He is very cunning this time, and he wants to wait until the situation is clear before making trouble. When this confession comes up, Shui Rong will definitely Beat the Zhen family hard, and maybe secretly please the Meng family. The emperor's temperament is always vacillating, I want to save the bargaining chip, and find a chance for the king of Beijing to reveal the secret of the lotus ointment."

After hearing this, Daiyu couldn't help thinking.Shui Lan didn't feel at ease, and chatted and laughed with her for a while to relieve the boredom, played with Xiao Xiangyu for a while, and the two of them undressed and went to bed.

The next day, the testimonies were listed one by one and reported to Yulan. The more Emperor Yongqing watched, the more worried he became, and the more depressed he became. It can be seen that women are full of jealousy. The first queen treated her well, but she is so jealous, she is really a vicious bitch!"

Anxiously, Father Zhen knelt down to meet each other, begging with all his mouth: "Please Your Majesty, please calm down! The daughter of this humble official will never do such a foolish thing, I beg Your Majesty to learn from you!"

But there are all the witnesses and material evidence, and only the noble concubine is the only suspect in the palace. Everyone is suspicious of her after public discussion. The empress dowager also spoke out about this matter, asking the emperor to abolish concubine Zhen as a commoner, and keep her in the cold palace. come out.

Emperor Yongqing was in a fit of anger, and the Mingde Hall was already dark and knelt on the ground, only the water billows stood still, and he said indifferently: "Your Majesty, don't be angry, if you are really angry, you can't get angry and hurt your body. The minister just Submit the interrogation confession, as for how to deal with it, it is a family matter of the palace, and it is inconvenient for foreign ministers to intervene."

After hearing this, Fu Guogong immediately kowtowed and cried with tears in his eyes: "King Lian is right, but why is this family matter not a state matter? It is really shameless and shameless for them to dare to make such a mess. People of the law, I beg Your Majesty to uphold justice for the former empress."

When Emperor Yongqing heard Meng Yuyu's name, he was even more traumatized and lost his soul. He suddenly raised his face to stare at Zhen's father, and cursed: "The daughter is guilty, and the father is not disciplined. Listen! Purpose: The Zhen family disrespected the former empress, abolished the imperial concubine position, relegated to promise, and confined in the Yonghe Palace, and then dealt with."

As soon as the words fell, Father Zhen felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured into his heart, Duke Fu seemed to be still dissatisfied, and gouged him out with resentment, but the water was always the same, and the wind did not budge.

The author has something to say: Thank you for your concern, the author will also report.

My father has been discharged from the hospital now, but he is left with sequelae of language barrier and chaotic thinking, and now he still needs to see the rehabilitation department.

If there is an elderly person in the family who suffers from hand numbness, headache, and cervical spine pain, you still need to pay more attention, as these may be precursors.
