I want to be a faint king [Rebirth]

Early the next morning, Yuan Yin issued an order to order the Ministry of Punishment to thoroughly investigate the cause of the death of Zhen Yuhua, the pharmaceutical department.

If there is really another hidden story, it is not in vain for Yang Yiyi to pretend to be a ghost and startle Yuan Yin. If Zhen Yuhua just slipped and fell into the water, Yuan Yin ordered a thorough investigation but could not alert everyone in the harem, and do not want to disturb the palace.

The weather in May is stuffy and scorching, as if there is a fire in the chest, which cannot be dispelled by the paper fan in hand.

In the carriage going out of the city, Yuan Yin fanned himself with a paper fan, while Xiao Rong sat on the side of the carriage with a calm look. He took out the paper fan and poked Xiao Rong's waist and asked:

"Why are you not hot?"

"The mind is calm and cool." Xiao Rong said slowly, raised his eyebrows slightly, looked sideways at Yuan Yin and said, "Your Majesty is so hot, I'm afraid it's because of his anger."

"Are you sitting in front of you so angry?" Yuan Yin coughed lightly, rolled his eyes and said, opened the paper fan again and looked at the delicate fan, and couldn't help sighing: "I said Xiao Qing, your painting Why can’t the red plums and Aoxue feel like ice and snow? If so, I wouldn’t be so hot this summer.”

"It's cool in Wende Palace, why does Your Majesty have to go out of the palace?"

"It's not for the lotus in Shilizhuang. I want to see if the lotus in Shilizhuang can bloom as well as the lotus in my country's school supervisor." Yuan Yin hummed softly, and continued to open the folding fan to fan the wind. .

Xiao Rong nodded, smiled without saying a word.

But after a while, Yuan Yin suddenly thought of something, stopped the carriage quickly, turned the horse's head and went to Liuting Bridge.

"Why does Your Majesty suddenly want to go to Liuting Bridge?" Xiao Rong asked a little puzzled.

Yuan Yin said with a mysterious smile: "Didn't I tell you about that mother Fang last time? She said that there is a child in Imperial Physician Yuan's family who came out of the palace. I see that child is only twelve or thirteen years old." Looking at her appearance, I think it must have come out of this palace in the year my father ascended the throne."

"Why does Your Majesty want to know this?" Xiao Rong was very puzzled.

Yuan Yin straightened his clothes and said with a smile: "The existence of this child means that my harem is in chaos, and with Zhen Siyao's death, I think the harem should be rectified. This child is very good." Yi Ping, as long as we find the child's biological mother, we will know who the person who caused trouble in the harem is, so that we can make an example to others."

"Well, Your Majesty is right. If the harem here is not peaceful, the previous court will not be peaceful." Xiao Rong nodded in agreement.

"That's exactly what I think. Once the maids in the harem reach their age, they will be released from the palace to marry others. For example, if the female officials in the six bureaus reach the age of marriage, I can also release them from the palace. , if someone makes trouble in the harem, it can prove that there are people in the harem who are not clean, and they must have something to do with the previous dynasty, let alone those who have given birth to children, such people who are not self-disciplined must not be allowed to stay." Yuan Yin said earnestly Said, Xiao Rong also listened seriously, and spoke after a long time:

"That's why Your Majesty wants to ask that mother Fang about the child's origin?"

"That's right." Yuan Yin was a little proud, shaking the paper fan in his hand, looking contented.

Xiao Rong nodded with a slight smile, thought for a long time before saying: "Your Majesty is different from what you said before."

"This person will change, I just change for the better." Yuan Yin raised his eyebrows, and then moved to Xiao Rong's side.

Xiao Rong nodded and said nothing until the carriage stopped at Liuting Bridge, then Xiao Rong got out of the carriage and waited for Yuan Yin to get off the carriage.

The weeping willows planted on both sides of the Liuting River swayed their slender and tender bodies in the breeze. The wine shop, accompanied by the singing of cicadas, not many people were sitting in the wine shop.

"Yo, Mr. Ding'an is here, please sit down." The bartender saw Xiao Rong and his party entering, recognized Xiao Rong at a glance, and then graciously led them to sit down by the window in the wine shop: "Second gentlemen What wine do you want?"

"Don't drink, let's have some side dishes. By the way, the bartender, do you know Fang's mother?" Yuan Yin just sat down, looking at the courteous bartender and asked quickly.

"Mother Fang, we don't know any of us. She has no children, and she likes to gamble. She has no money to enter the casino, so she often comes to my place to gamble with the guests to make some money." The bartender said with a smile.

Yuan Yin couldn't help frowning when he heard such words: "If you are prone to gambling, are you prone to lying?"

"That's right, as long as she loses money, she will lie and say that she knows the court officials, and also knows the empress in the palace. What is she, a midwife, and what other empress do you know? According to her words, I also know Where is Mr. Ding'an, the imperial censor." The bartender continued to laugh, and then got up to prepare some side dishes for them.

However, Yuan Yin fell into melancholy. Fang's mother was a gambler and a liar. She thought what she said that day had something to say, and she thought it was true.

"What's the matter?" Seeing Yuan Yin's sad face, Xiao Rong couldn't help asking.

"I suddenly felt that Fang's mother's words could not be believed." Yuan Yin was a little embarrassed.

"Just because of what the bartender said?" Xiao Rong asked again.

Yuan Yin nodded.

Xiao Rong then nodded and said with a slight smile: "Are you so easily swayed? That day's mother blurted out, it may not be a lie, and whether it is a lie, we might as well wait for Fang's mother and ask her to go together gone?"

"Are the two sons waiting for the midwife's mother?"

As soon as Xiao Rong finished speaking, the people at the next table suddenly turned around and asked, Yuan Yin and Xiao Rong looked at each other, then nodded in agreement.One of them hurriedly said:

"Then you can't wait for Fang's mother. Fang's mother must have crossed the Naihe bridge now, and she doesn't remember anything about her previous life."

"Why?" Yuan Yin asked in surprise.

"Early this morning, Jing Zhaoyin received a report that Fang's mother was killed in her house, but the strange thing is that nothing was lost in the house. By now, her body has been transported to Jing Zhao Yamen." People told about Fang's mother's situation, but the shocked Yuan Yin couldn't answer for a long time.

Ignoring the side dishes brought by the bartender, he dragged Xiao Rong out of the restaurant and went straight to Jingzhao Yamen.

Because of the life lawsuit at the foot of the emperor, Jing Zhaoyin and the patrol battalion were busy patrolling around the city. In the Jingzhao Yamen, Yuan Yin and Xiao Rong saw Jing Zhaoyin together, holding Fang's mother's hand in their hands. The autopsy sheet was read carefully.

Jing Zhaoyin looked at the two handsome young men in front of him, and couldn't help serving him carefully. Seeing that the two hadn't spoken, he didn't know how to speak first.

"Jing Zhaoyin, I'm here to ask you, Fang's mother died of suffocation, have any suspects been found?" After Yuan Yin put down the autopsy list, he looked directly at Jing Zhaoyin in front of him.

But Jing Zhaoyin bowed his head in salute, pondered for a long time before saying: "I went to check this morning, this mother owed a large sum of money to the gambling house recently, and the other suspects are gone."

"Really." Hearing this, Yuan Yin couldn't help sighing. Now that Fang's mother is dead, it may be impossible for her to take her to see the child who came out of the palace. It seems that she has to personally Let's take a trip.

"By the way, Your Majesty, this subordinate found something in Fang's mother's house. This thing is a bit special, and it may be something from the palace." Suddenly Jing Zhaoyin said.

Yuan Yin looked at Jing Zhaoyin with some doubts: "Something in the palace?"

"Yes." Jing Zhaoyin replied sincerely, and quickly ordered someone to fetch the physical evidence.

The brocade box was used by the Jingzhao Yin Mansion to preserve evidence, and inside the brocade box lay a jade tablet. The front decoration of the jade tablet should be a unique decoration in the six bureaus of the palace, and it is engraved with a On the back of the jade plate, there is a word for hole engraved.

"Xin, Kong?" Yuan Yin thought carefully about the information on the jade card, and always felt that the owner of the jade card was right in front of him, but he still couldn't remember who it was.

"Your Majesty, could it be Kong Sishan of the Secretary of Food?" Xiao Luzi, who had been silent at the side all this time, suddenly asked.

Yuan Yin couldn't help looking at him: "Si Shan Si?"

"That's right, the servant remembers that this jade card is for the sixth round. The female officials below the seventh rank in the sixth round are newcomers to the palace, and they are afraid that it will be inconvenient to move in the palace. They will all have a jade card with their location engraved on it, and The surname, the word Shan stands for Si Shan, this Kong, the Si Shan only has the surname Kong, and the rest are gone." Xiao Luzi firmly blurted out all the problems he knew.

It was only then that Yuan Yin wanted to understand what she was wondering about just now. The secretary of the restaurant was called Kong Bizhu, which happened to correspond to the word for meal and the word for Kong, but what she didn't understand was why the person who served as the chef was called Kong Bizhu. The jade card will be in the hands of a midwife in the workshop.

Could it be that……

The boy the midwife refers to has something to do with that Kong Bizhu?

Yuan Yin didn't seem to dare to think about it anymore. He felt that it was not good for him to think of many things based on these two pieces of information, so he quickly cleared his throat and said, "Jing Zhaoyin, you heard that. ?”

"I heard it, but this Kong Sishan is from the palace, I'm afraid..." Jing Zhaoyin said with some embarrassment.

"It's okay, I will let Xiaoluzi enter the palace with you in the meeting. Although there is evidence pointing to Kong Sishan, she must not be tortured. What I want is her original confession." Yuan Yin handed over the jade plaque Put it back into the brocade box and cover it, and hand it back to Jing Zhaoyin's hand.

"I understand." Jing Zhaoyin saluted again, and Yuan Yin and Xiao Rong left Jingzhao Yamen with a sad face.

"What is His Majesty worried about?"

As soon as he got out of Jingzhao Yamen and got into the carriage, Xiao Rong opened his lips and asked.

"Although Fang's mother is dead now, the child is still there. Without the witness of Fang's mother, as long as the child is still there, this clue will not be broken. Xiao Qing, would you like to accompany me for a while?" Yuan Yin With a smile on his lips, he invited.

"Your Majesty has an order, I dare not refuse." Xiao Rong replied with cupped fists.
