Regarding Sister-in-law Jin's mother and daughter, Tu Yan carefully checked again, but still found nothing.

Sister-in-law Jin has always done her duty. Her daughter, Vanilla, was married to Jiang's family, and was touched by Jiang Cong. This aroused He Yuefu's disgust, and she often beat and scolded her.Jiang Cong is not a long-term lover, he turned his head and forgot about Xiangcao, but Xiangcao was not reconciled, and competed with other girls for favor, resulting in a miscarriage of a house. This handle was held by He Yuefu in the palm of his hand. As a threat, she asked Vanilla and Sister-in-law Jin to work for her willingly.The poison and the medicine were obtained by vanilla, but they were not bought from the pharmacy as vanilla said, and vanilla was dead, so the clue was interrupted.

Tu Yan interrogated He Yuefu again, and learned that the plan to use the medicine was proposed by Xiangcao, which made him even more suspicious.

Tu Yan verified this and reported it to the emperor first.

The emperor didn't expect such a scandal to happen in Uncle Taiping's mansion, he was shocked and angry, and the old uncle in his mansion heard the news, and passed away without breathing.For the sake of his dead mother, the emperor finally showed mercy to He Jiawang.The emperor issued a decree: the He family seized the title, dismissed from office, and would never be hired. The elder He Wei was exiled in northern Xinjiang and was not pardoned. The Tang family and the married third daughter He Yuefu gave Bai Ling to hang herself. Immediately leave Beijing and move back to the place of origin.The Jiang family confiscated their property, and the three members of the family were exiled to Lingnan, never to return to Beijing.

The matter seemed to come to an end, but secretly, the emperor and Tu Yan were still investigating.

Lin Qingyun was naturally dissatisfied with this result. He Yuefu was just jealous, and was instigated by someone with a heart. The real mastermind behind the scenes was still hidden behind a thick fog, and she could create another "He Yuefu" at any time. How could she feel at ease.It is reasonable for their family to be jealous and jealous, but they don't understand why people always attack her?Did you believe the emperor's words that she is a blessed person?

No, it won't be that simple.

Just imagine, if she died...

If she is gone, brother Chuyang Rui will lose his mother, the palace will lose its mistress, and Tu Yan will lose his concubine. According to the usual practice, he must remarry.The behind-the-scenes is different from He Yuefu's superficial thoughts. Even if she wants to become a princess, it is definitely not the main purpose. She instinctively feels that the real target of the other party is Tu Yan, Chu Yang and Brother Rui.If the palace really remarries the princess, how good can a stepmother treat the original spouse's children?It's hard to say whether it will grow up healthy or not.If the inner house is restless, it will be much easier for outsiders to take advantage of the opportunity to do something.

She always thought that she thought it was Tu Yan and the child who needed protection. Even though she had been assassinated by Qiu Yu, she still didn't feel how dangerous she was, but now she knew very clearly that her own existence was the greatest protection for the child.

"Wei Qing?" Tu Yan saw her sitting by the window in a daze, while Chu Yang was sitting on the side teaching Brother Rui to read.I have to say that the golden lotus seeds are very miraculous. Not only does it remove the toxins, but the body is not damaged at all, and on the contrary, it becomes stronger.Fortunately, Tu Yan was well prepared. Later, he kept asking Fan Shu for his pulse. He said that Chu Yang had hurt his vitality and needed to rest, so Chu Yang didn't go to the study these days.

When Lin Qingjun saw Fan Shu following him, he knew that he needed to check his pulse. The days were too early for the imperial physicians to be sure.The other party was not an imperial doctor, and she didn't use a curtain to hide her taboos or anything. Sometimes Tu Yan wasn't too taboo about these things, so he just put a veil on her wrist at this moment.

Fan Shu didn't even salute, and sat on the stool directly to check his pulse.

Suddenly seeing Fan Shu's brows move, he put back the hand that was about to be withdrawn, examined it carefully again, and congratulated with a smile: "Congratulations, my lord and concubine, it's indeed a happy pulse, it's less than two months, at most one and a half months, and it's still there Judging by the pulse, they are twins."

"Twins?" Tu Yan was shocked, then overjoyed.

Lin Qingyun was also really surprised. Touching her lower abdomen, it was hard to imagine that there were two little lives inside, and when she thought that she would almost lose them, she couldn't help feeling scared and even more angry.

Brother Rui is still young and doesn't know what "twins" are, but he heard Tuyan say that his mother is going to give birth to a younger sister, and he has been talking about it for the past two days.Chu Yang was older, read the book again, and understood the meaning of Fan Shu's words, and stared at Lin Qingyun's belly with curiosity.

Thinking of her recent reaction, Tu Yan felt a little uneasy: "The princess vomited what she ate recently, she has a bad appetite, what's wrong?"

"Twins are different from single births. Pregnancy is a lot more difficult. The princess was stimulated at the beginning of her pregnancy, which naturally affected her body, and loss of appetite was also common in the first three months. Since the princess has always been healthy and gave birth smoothly Twice, as long as you get through the first three months, you'll be fine."

Tu Yan immediately felt relieved.

In view of Lin Qingyun's physical condition, Tu Yan didn't want her to bother about Chu Yang's poisoning, and only said that he would investigate.Originally, Lin Qingyun was unwilling, but considering the actual situation, it was inevitable that the fetus would become gassy again, so he could only ignore those for the time being and wait for the first three months.

Recently, people often came to the door, all because of Chu Yang's incident, Lin Qingyun did not disclose the pregnancy, and only used physical discomfort as an excuse to not see them at all.Only the emperor and empress in the palace knew about this, so they were very happy. The empress sent Aunt Wenxin over, gave her many high-quality supplements, and asked her carefully about her daily diet and rest.

The emperor summoned Tu Yan and said, "Now the concubine in your house is pregnant and has twins. You have to take care of them carefully. You don't have to worry about the poisoning of Chuyang."

Tu Yan knew the inside story as soon as he heard it: "Father, what did you find?"

The emperor said: "I am the king of a country. I dare not tell from far away. If you want to investigate things in this capital, you will find almost nothing. If something happens to your princess, who will benefit? I have already Eyebrow, you just listen to me. On the other hand, the conferring ceremony of the grandson of the emperor is scheduled for August, and this matter is entrusted to you, Uncle Zhongshun. After the conferment is completed, I plan to move Chuyang to the palace."

Tu Yan frowned slightly, feeling reluctant to give up. Thinking that Lin Qingyun was definitely not willing, he hesitated: "I want to report to my father, Chu Yang is only five years old this year, he is too young, I am afraid that the princess will not let it go."

The emperor sneered and said, "It seems that you are willing." Then he said seriously: "Chuyang's status is different now, living in the palace shows his status and status, and it is also convenient for teaching on weekdays. Now you know that you are reluctant, why are you so self-willed? You and the concubine don't have to worry too much. Although Chuyang is small, he is very sensible. Besides, the queen will take good care of him. From now on, he will be able to return home for one day every ten days. How far is your palace from the palace? I really miss him. Entering the palace, I did not stop you."

Although the emperor chose Chu Yang as his successor, he still felt a little resentful about Tu Yan's refusal to take over.

Tu Yan knew it well, so he stopped talking.

When he returned to the mansion and talked to Lin Qingyun, Lin Qingyun was immediately unhappy, but he also knew that he couldn't change it.There is no prince in this dynasty, and the grandson of the emperor is the first crown prince. What you have to learn is not only the homework taught by the masters in the study, but also more important things, but only the emperor can teach. The so-called precepts and deeds start from childhood. Nurturing is the most beneficial.Chu Yang was doomed to take this path since he was born, and it would be useless to feel sorry for him now, even if Tu Yan was the crown prince?As the eldest son, Chu Yang will still become the grandson of the emperor.

Thinking that Chu Yang will leave her in two months, and that she is pregnant and cannot enter the palace, and she can only see each other every ten days, she can't help but feel even more reluctant.

Although the servants in the palace will be re-selected and arranged by the queen, those who follow close to him will have to be arranged. With the lessons learned from the previous incident, Lin Qingyun has become more and more strict in instigating people.Except for the two nanny who were screened out at the beginning, don't worry, the other maids, eunuchs, etc. have all been thoroughly checked, and everything that is wrong will be picked out.Then he packed the things that Chu Yang was used to one by one, fearing that he would be uncomfortable living in the palace, so he unknowingly packed several big boxes.

Tu Yan looked amused, and saw her walking around, worried that she would not feel well for a while, so he persuaded her to sit down.

"The queen mother loves Chuyang so much. What does the queen mother like to eat and what does she like? The queen mother doesn't know anything? Just take a few close people who are used to it, and don't need to do anything else, so as not to make the queen mother unhappy when she sees it, she will give it to her." Chuyang is ready. The Emperor Father ordered the Chonghua Palace to be cleaned up, and the interior was arranged by the Queen Mother herself, and the eunuchs and maids who served were also screened layer by layer, and the old things will not be repeated."

"I know, I just think that Chuyang will leave me at such a young age, I can't bear it." Lin Qingyun naturally knew the empress's love and importance for Chuyang, but she couldn't stop the anxiety in her heart.Although the parents of the ancients did not separate their families, their palaces are different after all. When the brothers grow up, they will have their own entrustments. When the time comes, they will always leave their parents. She knew it a long time ago, but she never thought that Chuyang would leave her side at such a young age.

She called Chuyang to her side, babbled about the various taboos and rules after entering the palace, and told him to stay away from those people in the harem.

Chu Yang listened obediently, and suddenly said, "Mother, don't be afraid."

Lin Qingyun was taken aback for a moment, and sighed inwardly.Even if she didn't say it, the child is very sensitive, and Chu Yang felt her emotions, so she was always afraid.Of course she was afraid, how could she not be afraid?She was just a little bit short of losing Chuyang.

Chu Yang said again: "I will be the grandson of the emperor and protect my mother, younger brother, and little sister." Because of Tu Yan's constant nagging, Brother Chuyang Rui thought that she was pregnant with a younger sister.

"I will too!" Brother Rui was playing with the big wooden boat, and when he heard Chu Yang's words, he yelled not to be outdone, got up from the blanket and ran to Lin Qingyun, raised his face and said, "Mother, I And protect you too."

Even if it's just childish words, it melts in Lin Qingyun's ears.Hugging the two of them and laughing: "Brother Chuyang Rui is a good boy."

Tu Yan deliberately pantothenic on the side: "No one cares about me."

Lin Qingyun replied with a smile: "The lord is the head of the family, so he should protect our three mothers. Do we want our three mothers to protect you instead?"

"Now our family is not four people, but six people." Seeing Bai Ling coming in with a tray, Tu Yan coaxed Chuyang Rui away so that Lin Qingyun could eat.Because of her poor appetite, she ate very little in one meal. She was afraid that her body would not be able to bear it, so she adopted small meals and added meals in the morning and afternoon, and one meal in the evening. This disciple Yan recruited two more cooks.

Originally, Chuyang was teaching Brother Rui to recite books, but Brother Rui ran over after memorizing a few words, looked at the beautifully colored food in the small dish and small bowl, blinked his big eyes and asked deliberately: "Mom, are you eating?" What?"

"Brother Rui!" The dignified voice was not Tu Yan, but Chu Yang.Chuyang saw that Brother Rui had committed an old habit again, immediately put on a straight face, and pointed out his mistake in a very stern tone: "Mother is eating, how can you interrupt? Don't pretend to be pitiful and beg for food! You are three years old, you are not a child , be sensible!"

Brother Rui still has a child's faults, being greedy and playful, such obvious and tactful begging for food is common.Brother Rui is not hungry, but just greedy, if it is really given to him, he may not be willing to eat.

Brother Rui has always liked this brother Chuyang, and he listened to what Chuyang said, and he had the idea that "brothers are all right", so facing his brother's reproach, Brother Rui lowered his head, whispered aggrieved Said: "Brother, don't be angry, I will change it."

Every time Lin Qingjun saw such a scene, he would laugh a lot and feel very emotional.

Tu Yan also said: "This is one thing descending one thing."

Brother Rui was never afraid of Tu Yan, even though he would be afraid when Lin Qingyun got angry, he was never as obedient as when facing Chu Yang.Lin Qingyun only hoped that the two brothers would always be so friendly, and not change when they grow up.

The canonization ceremony of the emperor's grandson was set on the first day of August. On this day, the pure prince announced the happy event of the princess, which made some dark-minded people grit their teeth, especially the princesses of several counties. No matter how beautiful the words are, they can't hide the sour taste in them.

Lin Qingyun is now three and a half months old, and sure enough, after the first three months, the fetus has stabilized, her appetite has returned to normal, and her cheeks that were thin at first slowly returned to fullness.She changed her usual low profile and did not shy away from the sisters-in-law who came to congratulate her. Instead, she chatted with people in a very interested manner.She has always suspected that it was someone among them who drugged herself, trying to detect clues from it.

Princess Dingjun has always been stable, and her words are almost impeccable.

Princess Sujun was worse, and she couldn't hold back her sour words several times. Lin Qingyun just smiled and ignored it, but Princess Sujun was embarrassing herself, and left without sitting much.

Mrs. Zhen also came, with Brother Xuan as usual, even though his face was still flat, but the eyes that were stagnant in the past regained their vitality.I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional. Before leaving, Mrs. Zhen said something: "I heard that a nanny next to Princess Dingjun has disappeared. There is no one in the mansion, just looking for it quietly. That nanny is also, put it well. The days are short, I don’t know where I’m going, I can’t get drunk and sleep for two months.”

"What do you mean?" Lin Qingyun's eyebrows twitched, and he felt that there was something hidden in this statement.

Zhen's mouth curled up: "I just heard something by accident, who knows what's going on, if the princess is curious, just send someone to find out."

After Mrs. Zhen left, Lin Qingyun couldn't sit still, and she didn't dare to inquire casually. If she was really involved in Chu Yang's affairs, wouldn't she be scaring the snake away?After finally waiting for Tu Yan to come back, he immediately told him.

Who knows that Tu Yan was not surprised at all: "I found out two days ago. Although I don't care about it now, I will know what news I find from the emperor. Because I was worried about you and wasting your mind, I didn't Let me tell you, besides, I'm not sure if it's really related." As he spoke, Tu Yan became suspicious: "You said it was Mrs. Zhen who told you the news? That's strange. It wouldn't be a big deal at any other time. This stall is very sensitive, and only a few people in Dingjun's mansion knew about it, and they only said that the nanny was seriously ill and moved to Zhuangzi outside the city to recuperate. How did Mrs. Zhen know?"

Yes, how did Mrs. Zhen get the news?

There is no news from outside, and Zhen Shi is a poor person who has lost her mother's support in the eyes of outsiders. Where did she hear about this?Others dared not speak up even if they heard the slightest movement, fearing that it might have something to do with the poisoning of the emperor's grandson, but Mrs. Zhen specifically reminded her, why?

From the matter of the [-] gold sum, Lin Qingyun did not dare to underestimate the Zhen family, and did not know its purpose until the end.

Before the gold matter, at first glance, it seemed that Zhen's bamboo basket fetched water and "led wolves into the house", but in reality?In fact, although the second prince lost his title, Zhen's status was preserved. The second prince, mother and son did not count on her life any more. Brother Xuan's condition has also improved. According to Fan Shu, Brother Xuan needs several years of recuperation. Although the root of the disease is difficult to get rid of, it is only weaker than ordinary people.Now Lin Qingyun has heard a little about the affairs in that mansion. Although Tanchun is favored, she is an aunt after all, and her mother's family can't support her.Although the Chen family has an eldest son by his side, he is not the main wife.The second prince was contemplating his mistakes behind closed doors, not daring to make any more mistakes, so in the mansion was the butler of the Zhen family, and since there was no Gao family in the Kuang mansion, the people below either lost because of their status or their scheming, they could only be handled by the Zhen family.

Lin Qingjun sighed as he thought about it: "What does Mrs. Zhen want?"

Tu Yan said: "It's easy to guess what's on her mind, she can count on the second prince like that, she definitely won't put the second half of her life on the second prince, now that brother Xuan's situation is improving, she is naturally unwilling to just want the current stability , I want to seek more. After all, there is a concubine eldest son in that mansion, and the Chen family has been eyeing him all the time, how dare the Zhen family be careless?"

"Counting on Brother Xuan? How old is Brother Xuan? What can you do?" Lin Qingyun didn't understand for a while.

"Brother Xuan is the son of the eldest son. He was originally the son of the county prince. Now that the second prince has lost the title of county king, Brother Xuan has lost his title as the son of the prince. What the Zhen family did today should be a way of showing favor to you. After all, Chuyang has already died. He is the grandson of the emperor officially conferred, Chuyang is still young, but the emperor has age, as long as there is no rebellion, there will be basically no change in Chuyang's succession."

Lin Qingjun understood that Mrs. Zhen was looking for a way out for the future. Although it was human nature, when she thought of what Mrs. Zhen had done, she felt a shock in her heart.

"Forget it, as long as she doesn't come to plot against me, I don't care what she thinks." Lin Qingyun knew that sometimes he couldn't be too serious, and he was not completely pure and kind, so why should he ask others to be clean, because people always have selfishness.

Bai Ling came in suddenly and handed over a letter: "Princess, Grandma Zhuang has sent a letter."

Lin Qingyun slapped his forehead and blamed himself: "I forgot to write to my sister. She must have heard about Chuyang and sent a letter to inquire."

Open the letter and look, sure enough.Daiyu got the news from Zhuang Li. After all, the grandson of the emperor was poisoned. Such a big event might have spread throughout the government and the public. Even if Chuyang had turned the corner when they got the news, Daiyu's worries still could not be dispelled.Daiyu herself is also the mother of several children, fearing that Lin Qingyun would not be able to bear it, she hastily sent someone to write a letter, saying that if sister Mi was not young, Daiyu would have returned to Beijing.

Lin Qingyun hurriedly wrote a reply letter and told her about the happy event.

The wedding was only announced in the palace, and people outside the capital didn't know about it, and Daiyu, who was far away in the middle of Sichuan, didn't know much about it, so it happened to be announced together, including the Mid-Autumn Festival and Double Ninth Festival.The gifts they send out from the palace are all transferred from the post station, which is safe and fast.

Because she mentioned Daiyu, Tu Yan remembered something: "The Baoning Mansion in central Shu has a vacancy. The emperor ordered Zhuang Li to be promoted, and the appointment was only passed on this morning."

Zhuang Li served as the county magistrate under the jurisdiction of Baoning Prefecture.

General officials are evaluated every three years, and they are promoted according to their merits. In ancient times, it was extremely difficult to be promoted as an official. Except for a few people with good political achievements and high skills who were promoted to the emperor's ears, most of them needed to be sealed and needed connections.Zhuang Li has everything, the number one scholar in the dynasty, the banker and his father-in-law's family are all in high positions, and he himself is talented.

The emperor appointed him to a foreign post to hone his training and hope that he will be of great use in the future, so he will not be promoted for a period of time for no reason.This time is just a coincidence, the Baoning Prefecture has a vacancy, and I don’t know how much I’m staring at this position. Although Zhuang Li has served as the county magistrate for less than two years, he has made quite a lot of political achievements, and the local people’s livelihood has improved. A lot of old cases have been cleared, and he has gained a good reputation in the local area.The general judgment is the sixth rank, also commonly known as Jianzhou. It is divided into grain transportation, water conservancy, farmland, horse herding, river and sea defense, etc., and has the power to supervise officials. It can be described as a very important position.

"Although being promoted is a happy event, it's just that if there are no other changes, my sister and the others will have to stay in Sichuan for another three years."

"Oh, there is one more thing." Tu Yan said again: "The second prince filled the vacancy of a man named Liu Chuanwen through the recommendation of the officials below. He is the head of the Ministry of Industry."

The main job of the Ministry of Industry is the ninth grade. Although the grade is not high, staying in Beijing is a skill in itself.And mentioning the second prince, Lin Qingyun understood that it was Baochai who begged Tanchun.The reason why Tu Yan told her was because Baochai would come to pay her respects occasionally, and Tu Yan was reminding her.

Lin Qingyun said: "Speaking of which, Miss Xue is also pitiful. In terms of appearance and intelligence, she is not inferior in anything, but she was born with a bad fortune. Although this uncle of the Liu family sounds good, but..." Lin Qingyun didn't like it very much. Baochai also felt that Baochai was really wronged, but Baochai was not an ordinary woman, and depending on Baochai's schemes, she might not be able to surpass her.

"My lord, there's news!" Eunuch Le came in suddenly.

Tu Yan immediately understood what he meant, and seeing that Lin Qingyun was also asking questions, he asked Letian to speak directly.

Mr. Le said fairly: "The emperor just sent someone to say that the old nanny's body was found in a forest outside the city. The old nanny was killed and buried in the pit, but was dug out by wild beasts in the forest. Orion found it and reported it to the yamen."

died?

Tu Yan frowned: "Wei Qing, don't think too much, I'll go."
