The Lin family has a female named Qingyun [Red Mansion]

In a blink of an eye, it was late autumn in September.

The matter of Chu Yang's poisoning was not going smoothly. Although the investigation was very careful, and several county kings and related people were investigated carefully, no useful results were obtained.Lin Qingyun was born with twins, and she had a hard pregnancy, and was affected by this incident, so that her belly grew bigger day by day, but her mother's body became thinner.Although Tu Yan was anxious about the progress of the poisoning case, he was even more worried about her health. He didn't go out recently and only stayed at home.

The emperor was very angry because of the unfavorable progress, and ordered strict investigations again and again.

Finally, one day after the Double Ninth Festival, the hidden guards found out on Nanny Cai when they were investigating the people in the palace.An old lady in the Empress Dowager's palace recalled a small incident, mentioning that she saved Cui's life back then.In the early years, Mammy Cui worked as a court lady for one of the emperor's concubines. She did not know what she had committed, and she was punished to kneel in the snow. As a result, her high fever persisted, and everyone became confused. It was Mammy Cai who helped find the imperial doctor to prescribe medicine. Just saved a life.Madam Cai is very popular in the palace, and she often helps others. There are many such things. The secret guard didn't pay much attention to it at the beginning, just a routine investigation.When I found the records of Nanny Cai’s going out of the palace, I was alert immediately. Nanny Cai didn’t go out of the palace frequently, but she was quite a lot compared to others, especially before the poisoning case and on the day Nanny Cui disappeared. .

On the one hand, they followed this line to check outside the palace, while others were watching Nanny Cai's actions inside the palace, so they didn't dare to scare the snake for a while.

Once the person is identified, it is very easy to find out, and there are clear records of entering and leaving the palace, especially on the day that Cui Madam had an accident, Cai Mama spent the night outside the palace before returning.After searching and checking, it was found that Madam Cai had been out of the city, hired a car, and brought another person in the car. She said it was an old sister who was sick. He only said that someone at home would pick him up, and sent the driver away.

Reported to the emperor, immediately got the will.

The guard commanded the decree, concealed his suspicion, and surrounded Concubine Rong's Yaohua Palace.Concubine Rong was sipping the new tea, and when she saw the pale maid come in to report, her heart skipped a beat, but she forced herself out of the palace gate, but the person who came was the commander of the guards.

"Ms. Rong Concubine, I came here on an errand and disturbed my mother. I hope my mother will forgive me." He said politely, but his actions showed no respect. He waved his hand and said, "Bring Madam Cai out!"

Concubine Rong already had ghosts in her heart, and when she heard that Nanny Cai was being arrested, she couldn't help but swayed, almost fainting.Don't say that Nanny Cai is involved in a major matter of losing her head, but it is unknown that the guards are currently surrounding the palace.Being able to make the emperor make such a decree, completely ignoring her face and King Sujun outside the palace, shows that the emperor has already condemned her in his heart, and she cannot escape!

The guards just asked where Cai Nanny was, before they could arrest her, Cai Nanny had already walked out steadily, looking around the situation, how could she not know what was going on.But she saw that Cai Mama didn't wait for the guards to come forward to fetch someone, and shouted to Concubine Rong: "Madam, this old servant can no longer serve you, this old servant will take a step first." Before everyone could react, they saw Cai Momo Crashing into the red pillar of the palace corridor, blood spurted out instantly, and the person fell down without breath.

All the maids and eunuchs were so frightened that their complexions were pale and their bodies were like sieves. A few timid ones even fainted.

Concubine Rong gritted her teeth in hatred, her face turned even grayer, and at the same time her heart was full of despair.

Unexpectedly, Nanny Cai would be so ruthless that she would directly come to death without proof.Cai Nanny was dead, but Concubine Rong, the mistress, had a hard time arguing that the blame for murdering the emperor's grandson must be blamed, even if she now said that Cai Nanny had another master, she would not believe it.Indeed, who would believe it?Nanny Cai has followed her since the Qiandi, and has been a confidant for 40 years. She is a confidant, especially the words of loyalty before her death, which seem to protect her master, but in fact they are tantamount to testifying.

"Your Majesty? What's the matter with you, Your Majesty?" The palace maid suddenly realized that something was wrong with Concubine Rong.

Concubine Rong was already slumped on the ground at this time, her originally pale face flushed suddenly, her hands were clutching the collar, her eyes were wide open, her mouth was wide open, her face was full of pain, and within a few breaths she was completely out of breath.The maids were so frightened that they rolled and crawled away, shouting in horror: "My lady, my lady is dead."

The guard commander's face also changed, no matter how respectful he was, he hurriedly stepped forward to check, but he was indeed out of breath.

After hearing the commander's report, the emperor's face was gloomy, and then he issued an order——

"The Rong family, the head of the Yaohua Palace, murdered the emperor's grandson, abolished the concubine, and demoted him to a commoner."

He also issued an edict to Dingjun Wangfu: "Dingjun Wang is not strict in governing his family, he will be fined for three years, suspend all affairs, and go home for self-examination."

At the same time, the queen issued a decree, admonishing the princess of Dingjun: "If you are not strict, you will be fined for three years. From now on, you will go to the palace every day to listen to the admonition and rebuild your body."

Because it was related to the poisoning case of the emperor's grandson, none of these decrees were kept secret, and almost everyone in Beijing knew about them, and it can be said that the whole court was shocked.Generally speaking, as long as it is not rebellion, no matter how serious the harem concubine makes a mistake, the news will not be spread outside the palace. The so-called "family ugliness must not be publicized", which is one of the reasons why the outside world did not know the inside story of Jia Yuanchun's death.This time the emperor was firstly angry at Concubine Rong for being so vicious, secondly, to deter her, and secondly, considering that Chu Yang was young and the older princes were jumping up and down, the emperor took this opportunity to suppress her.

The eldest prince, King Dingjun, was reprimanded and lost his job; the second prince, King Chengjun, lost his title a long time ago, and is still contemplating behind closed doors; He was deposed as a commoner again, how could King Su have no influence?Further down, the eighth prince Xiangjun has always kept a low profile and is close to the pure prince's mansion; the ninth prince Qingjun just opened the mansion, and both himself and his mother and concubine's family are very limited, so even ordinary people can see the situation clearly. Now it is the pure prince's mansion.

Lin Qingyun didn't expect Concubine Rong to have such a deep and vicious mind, but she still had many doubts. First of all, she felt that Concubine Rong's death was a bit strange.Such a concubine with a deep city, would commit suicide by taking poison before the emperor made a clear confession?

She told Tu Yan her doubts.

Compared with her, Tu Yan knew more about Concubine Rong, and said: "Concubine Rong died strangely. At that time, the emperor was so angry that he didn't think about it, but he felt wrong afterwards. One more thing, the source of poison and medicine, if poison, If the medicine is really owned by Concubine Rong, then she should be involved with Prince Yizhong, this is not just murdering the prince and concubine, but a rebellious person, the nature of which is completely different."

Although the imperial decree said that Concubine Rong was murdering the grandson of the emperor, it was actually incorrect. Concubine Rong wanted to poison Lin Qingyun, the princess, and Chu Yang was not the grandson of the emperor at that time.The emperor's move was firstly to elevate the pure prince's mansion again, and secondly to deter and suppress other older princes, giving Chu Yang time to grow up.

The emperor also wanted to know the source of the poison and medicine, and whether Concubine Rong was related to Prince Yizhong's family, but now that she is dead, it is difficult to trace.The emperor insisted that he would rather kill the wrong than let it go, so he sent Concubine Rong's natal family together.All the officials of the Rong family were dismissed, their property was confiscated, and all the servants were sold on the street. Except for young children, all men and women in the family were exiled for three thousand miles.Concubine Rong had poisoned the emperor's grandson, so the emperor's move was not an exaggeration.

"I always feel..." Lin Qingyun couldn't say it, and always felt something strange in his heart.

Bai Ling came over suddenly: "Princess, Aunt Jia from the Zhen Guo General's Mansion sent someone to pay her respects. She is a servant, but she came here by dressing up to avoid people's eyes."

Lin Qingyun's heart moved, and he looked at Tu Yan, and said: "Invite people into the hall, and don't let the idlers get close." After Bai Ling left, she and Tu Yan said: "Since she went to that mansion, privately We haven't had much contact, the last time she sent her servant was because of Mrs. Zhen's business."

Tu Yan didn't underestimate Miss Jia San, he couldn't figure out the purpose of the other party's visit for a while, so he said, "Since someone is here, let's go and have a look."

Tu Yan helped her to the small hall in front of the wisteria courtyard, but didn't go in, but stood outside under the window.The little maids and women who were usually on duty here were all sent away by Bai Ling. In the hall, there were only Bai Ling's thrush, and the servants who were obviously dressed as ordinary maids. Li Chun and Li Xia followed Lin Qingyun and entered the hall. After serving tea, he retreated out of the hall with a very winking look.Now, although Lin Qingjun began to rely heavily on Lichun and Lichun, it was not as good as Bailing Huamei, who was a dowry confidant. Lichun was smart, so he knew it well, and never competed with Bailing Huamei.

The servant saluted respectfully and greeted Lin Qingyun.

Lin Qingjun didn't like going around in circles, so she asked straight to the point: "What's the matter with the third girl sending you here?"

The ancients paid attention to marrying and obeying their husbands. Once a girl's family is married, she has to change her name. She can no longer be called a girl, but should be called Auntie Tanchunjia.It's just that when the two were sisters and outsiders were there, Lin Qingyun was still used to the old address when it was mentioned in private.After all, he married the seventh prince, and Tanchun entered the second prince's residence, but she is the first wife and concubine, and Tanchun is just an aunt. The status of the sisters who used to be with each other is so embarrassing.

The servant glanced at Bai Ling Thrush at the side, knowing that the two of them were her confidantes, so he took out a letter from his bosom without hesitation: "Princess Rong, my aunt ordered me to send a letter, and only said that I would like to send you a letter by hand." Give it to the princess."

Bai Ling stepped forward to pick it up and presented it to Lin Qingyun.

Lin Qingyun didn't delay, and immediately opened it to read it. As soon as she read the letter, her face changed instantly, and she stood up abruptly, startling Bai Ling Huamei.The two hurriedly supported him, and Bai Ling hurriedly persuaded: "What's wrong with the princess? The princess is pregnant, so don't get angry."

Tu Yan outside couldn't care less when he heard the commotion, so he hurried in and grabbed her hand: "Weiqing, don't panic, take care of yourself. Fan Shu said, you can't be stimulated."

Although Lin Qingyun has a good health, she was stimulated when she was still young, and the pregnancy was not lost. Now she is often worried and worried.Tu Yan recently came to stay with her at home. To ease her heart, he guided her to read books, discuss paintings, and tell anecdotes from outside. She had just started to improve, but today she lost control of her emotions after reading a letter.

"I'm fine." Lin Qingyun didn't dare to be careless. Just now when he saw the news in the letter, he was emotionally agitated. When he came back to his senses, he adjusted his breath and stabilized his emotions. It’s true, I must thank you very much!”

The waiter didn't dare to raise his head, nor dared to speak. Hearing this, he hurriedly bowed and retreated.

"Wei Qing?" Tu Yan guessed that it was really related to Chu Yang's poisoning, otherwise she wouldn't be like this.

"Let's talk in the house."

The two returned to the upper room of the Wisteria Courtyard, sent out the servant girls including Huamei, and then showed the letter to Tu Yan.This letter was written by Tanchun himself, so it would not be easy for Tu Yan to read it in the past, but at this time, he didn't care about it.

Tu Yan's face also changed when he read the letter, he couldn't hide his surprise and said: "It's her?" After a long silence, he sneered, "Ms Zhen is indeed very scheming."

The two were still talking about Concubine Rong's death just now, but Tan Chun sent a letter full of secrets.

Ever since Tanchun learned that Mrs. Zhen drugged her to make her unable to conceive, she was shocked and sad. Apart from secretly asking a doctor to take medicine to take care of her, she did not forget to use the contacts left by Mrs. Gao to keep an eye on Mrs. Zhen.Tanchun is such a smart person, how can she not notice the strangeness of Zhen's behavior, Tanchun has always felt that Zhen's other secrets, only the two of them had a deal before, and her status is humble and no one is available, so she didn't go into it. Now that I know the inside story of infertility, how can I suffer this loss in vain?

It's just that I didn't expect to discover such a big secret after quietly observing for a year.

Every year on the first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year, Mrs. Zhen would go to offer incense. The servant girl's unintentional remark made her wonder that the incense candles and other things used by Mrs. Zhen were all bought by the maid Qiushi herself.This is strange, but it's just incense candles, even if you want the best incense candles, you only need to send a woman and maid to buy them, not to mention that Mrs. Zhen is in charge of internal affairs now, it was very easy even when the name was not worthy of the name.That being the case, why send Qiu Shi to go in person?Another one, although the incense shop is an old shop for decades, it is not big, the business is flat, the location is not very good, and it is far from the second prince's mansion, why does Qiu Shi always go there to buy things?I haven't heard of anyone in the mansion having any relationship with that shop.

Tanchun became suspicious, and stared at the shop for more than a year, but it was not until the accident happened in Prince Chun's mansion, combined with the clues before and after, that he finally understood the secret of this incense shop.

This shop is the place Zhen used to receive news. Madam Cui had been there before, and Madam Cai had also been there. Especially on the day Madam Cui disappeared, Madam Cai and Madam Cai entered this shop one after another, but came out at the end Only Nanny Cai.Of course, Tanchun didn't know Nanny Cui and Nanny Cai, but some people left behind by the Gao family knew Nanny Cui.

When he discovered this, Tanchun immediately began to plan.

If you tell the second prince about this matter, the loss outweighs the gain.According to her observation, the Second Highness is very cold and cold, after experiencing Gao's incident, he doesn't like women who are too shrewd and intelligent.If you tell the Second Highness, Zhen's ending will be the same as Gao's, but she will also be rejected.It is also not advisable to hide it.The emperor's grandson was poisoned, and neither the emperor nor the queen or the pure prince's mansion would give up on the investigation. Maybe no one would be suspicious of Concubine Rong's death.

Tanchun thought of Lin Qingyun, the two had a sisterly relationship, if they resolved it in private, they might be able to get a "thank you" for it.

Tanchun didn't hide it, and made clear the grievances between himself and the Zhen family, and wrote down how to find out the incense shop and the Zhen family, except for other things, he did not make any demands based on this.However, regardless of whether Tanchun who wrote the letter or Lin Qingjun who received the letter, they are both smart people. This kind of not writing a request is like writing a request. Who would bother about it for no reason?Sisterhood from before?It faded early.

How could Lin Qingyun and Tu Yan not be surprised when they saw this letter? Who would have thought that the Zhen family was so scheming and well connected.Especially Lin Qingyun, she really thought that the gold was Zhen's only backup, but it turned out not to be, no wonder she didn't feel so distressed after throwing it out.

Then, hovering in the heart is full of anger and hatred.

Zhen's plan is good, trying to kill three birds with one stone.

With Concubine Rong's poisoning, get rid of Lin Qingjun and disrupt the pure prince's mansion.If it is traced, the first person to suffer is the Dingjun Palace, and after further investigation, it is the Concubine Rong, who represents the Sujun Palace.An accident occurred in the three palaces, which made the Second Highness re-enter the eyes of the emperor. All the princes were in the same position, and the second Highness's chance of succession was greatly improved.After all, brother Xuan's condition has improved, and he will recover after a few years of recuperation, and the Zhen family may not have a backup. When the time comes to restore the title of His Highness the Second Highness, the position of son will fall to Brother Xuan again.

"It turns out that Nanny Cai is from the Zhen family. It seems that she is a contact left by Concubine Zhen Gui." Tu Yan read the letter and guessed the joint immediately.

Lin Qingyun also understood.

Concubine Zhen Gui was the favorite concubine of the Supreme Emperor, and she was still favored until her death, leaving the Empress Dowager in the dark.Concubine Zhen Gui has been in the harem for decades, so she has naturally managed a network of contacts. The Zhen family is her natal family and is also a support, and Concubine Zhen Shun is her niece and daughter of her natal family. Zhen Shunpin is a matter of course.At the beginning, she felt that Concubine Zhen Gui's death was strange. Now that the Zhen family has connections, it means that Concubine Zhen Gui must have noticed it, but she knew she couldn't hide it.Zhen Shunpin's death was also something she couldn't resist. Apart from the harem's calculations, the emperor didn't want her to live on.

"You'an, how should we deal with this matter?" Because of the identity of the Zhen family, Lin Qingyun inevitably felt angry with the people in that house, but even though she was angry, she still held back. After all, it wasn't the time when the first incident happened.

"This matter has already involved Dingjun Wangfu and Sujun Wangfu, it should not be expanded any further, please report to the emperor in private." Tu Yan was the same as her, if Chu Yang had just learned the news when the accident happened, In his rage, he didn't care about the innocence of other people in the mansion, so he must make Zhang Yang out to avenge Chu Yang.Now that three or four months have passed, and the emperor has just finalized the result, it is really inappropriate to reverse the case.

Lin Qingyun didn't say anything else, just said: "I don't care about the others, but I want Mrs. Zhen to pay the price."

"Of course, Mrs. Zhen will pay with her life for this, and she will lose what she wanted so hard to get." Tu Yan burned Tanchun's letter.

Although Tanchun found out the real inside story, he couldn't show it to the emperor, otherwise Tanchun would be the first one to fail.Tu Yan wasn't concerned about Tanchun's situation, but for Lin Qingyun's sake.Now that I know the incense shop, I just need to check it again, and it is not difficult to get witnesses and physical evidence.
