Chapter 965: Han Jingyan's Death (2)

The flower room of Yanwang's Mansion sent a pot of peonies to Yuchen. This peony has tall branches and lush leaves. The flowers are large, colorful, and beautifully shaped, and they are filled with a strong fragrance in the room.

Yuchen frowned, her favorite are plum blossoms, camellias and magnolias, and for peonies, she is mediocre. However, the things represented by Peony are graceful and luxurious, and if she says that she doesn't like it, she will be criticized by those who have a heart.

In fact, the biggest difference between Yuchen and Yuxi is that Yuchen cares too much about reputation, but Yuxi never cares about what others say.

Ah Bao was hugged by the nurse, and as soon as she entered the house, she said happily: "Mother, the house is so fragrant." After speaking, his eyes fell on the peony.

Yuchen pointed to the peony and said, "Bao, this is the peony, the king of flowers." "It is also the flower of wealth.

Ah Baole said hehehe: "Mother, I know. "Yuchen doesn't like this peony, but Bao likes it very much.

Seeing this, Yuchen asked the maid to put the peony in Bao's bedroom. As for Ah Chi, because he was already three years old, he asked his husband to enlighten him when he came out of the Lantern Festival, and he also moved to the front yard. I only come in the morning and evening to say goodbye, and I don't see anyone on weekdays.

Shi Xiang lifted the curtain, walked quickly to Yuchen's side, and said, "Niangniang, the Gangguo Mansion has sent news that the old lady has passed away. "Han Jingyan's life and death have no impact on Yuchen. But as a daughter, she must be crying.

Yuchen paused his hand and asked, "What did you say, Dad died of illness?" Seeing that Shixiang nodded, Yuchen asked with a pale face: "What's going on? I didn't get well two days ago, why did I suddenly die of illness?"

Shi Xiang shook his head and said, "Niangniang, the specific slave and maid are not clear. The person who came only said that the old lady died of illness, but did not say anything else. ”

Mama Gui hurriedly said, "Niangniang, hurry up and change your clothes and go over to take a look." If you have any questions, you will know when you go to the Guogong Mansion. ”

Yuchen immediately went into the house and changed into a white filial piety dress, and also changed a plain dress for Bao.

Seeing this, Mama Gui knew that Yuchen wanted to bring Ah Bao over, so she hurriedly persuaded: "Niangniang, we don't know what the situation is in the Guogong Mansion now, and it is not appropriate to bring the prince and the county lord over for the time being." "Mama Gui is almost certain that there must be something wrong with Han Jingyan's death. Before that, it was not a good thing to bring Ah Bao over with Ah Chi.

Yuchen thought for a moment and said, "Mama stayed to take care of Bao." "Give it to others, and she doesn't feel at ease.

When he arrived at the Guogong Mansion, Yuchen found a mess in the mansion. The maid and the woman are running around, and there is no rule. Yuchen was so angry that his face turned blue, and he asked the chief steward: "What about your prince's wife?" The mansion is in such a mess, and the Lu family, the head of the house, has an unshirkable responsibility.

The steward said with a bitter face: "Mrs. Shizi fell ill a few days ago, and she has not been well, and it has been the Seventh Lady who has been in charge these days. "Han Jianxing's daughter-in-law, Li, was married after Han Jingyan became the grandfather of the country. Because Han Jingyan's methods of ascending to the throne are really disgraceful, as long as anyone who knows about this matter is not ashamed to associate with him, Han Jianxing can't marry a girl who is a door-to-door person.

At that time, Han Jiancheng meant that as long as the woman's temperament was good in all aspects, her family background was almost successful. But Han Jingyan was unwilling, and named Han Jianxing the niece of the Hou Ji clan in Changping, the Li family. This Li is also a girl from an official eunuch family, her father served as the prefect of Yangzhou, and her family background is very thick. However, the Li family has an arrogant temperament and has a very bad reputation in the capital. At that time, Han Jiancheng insisted on opposing it, but it was Han Jingyan who was in charge, and Han Jianxing was willing to meet the Li family, so in the end, the Li family was still married. After getting married, he stumbled Lu Yao several times. At that time, the Lu family was still in power, and Lu Yao himself was also a person with means, so he cleaned up the Li family fiercely. Li has been honest since then, and he doesn't dare to provoke her again. This time, Han Jingyan asked her to take care of the house, and the Li family tossed hard, and it was completely by her own temperament without rules, not only several housekeepers complained bitterly, but even the big housekeeper had a headache.

Hearing this, Yuchen's face was a little ugly. That Li is an embroidered pillow, except for a face that can be seen, nothing else can be handled. Let her handle the funeral, and this funeral is estimated to become the talk of the people in the capital in the end.

Yuchen walked outside the door of Han Jingyan's courtyard and heard a cry for help inside. Yuchen walked in and saw the maid tied up, and her face became more and more ugly.

Seeing Yuchen, Li hurriedly walked over and said, "Third sister, you are back! Just now, the doctor found out that quinoa ...... was in the tonic that my father-in-law drank. "That kind of medicine reputation, Li forgot about it again. However, Li's reaction was also very fast, and after a pause, he immediately said: "The doctor said that if this thing is put in pharmacology, the tonic will become poison."

She knew that it was wrong, otherwise there would be no good people. Yuchen didn't look at the people who were kneeling on the ground crying and begging, but asked, "What about the doctor?"

The doctor came over soon, and saw Yuchen kneeling on the ground: "See the side concubine." ”

Yuchen Tie said with a blushing face: "Just now my brother and sister said that the tonic medicine that my father drank turned into poison, what is going on?" Although she had already been cold to Han Jingyan, she couldn't let her father die unclear, she must find out the murderer behind the scenes.

The doctor also felt that he was unlucky, and he actually encountered this kind of thing: "Hui Niangniang, Grandpa Guo's tonic contains the flavor of salvia, and I just checked the residue of the tonic that Grandpa Guo ate and found that there was veratrol in the residue. After speaking, the doctor explained to Yuchen: "Salvia and quinoa are mutually reinforcing, and these two herbs will be fatal if taken together." The old lady's body was already weak, and she took this medicine...... "The doctor didn't continue to talk about the words later, believe Yuchen?

Yuchen now understood why the Li family tied up all those mothers-in-law and maids, and the person who did the tricks and feet in the medicine must be among these people.

When the people who were tied up heard the doctor's words, they cried out in unison. One of the mothers-in-law said loudly: "Niangniang, the master's medicine is boiled by Bai Zhu's cheap girl, she must have put something in the medicine." Niangniang, regardless of the slave and maid, beg Niangniang to spare her life. "People can't care about anything in order to save their lives in life and death.

Yuchen was buzzing and screaming, and ordered the chief butler Gao Sheng to say, "Take everyone down and judge them one by one." "There are only a few people in total, and they can always be tried.

Yan Wushuang went out from the palace, and as soon as he entered the door, he heard the news that Uncle Tang said that Han Jingyan had died of illness. Yan Wushuang stopped and said, "I was sick yesterday, and it's gone today?"

Uncle Tang shook his head and said: "It's not clear what's going on for the time being, the side concubine Niangniang has already brought the maid back to the mansion for the funeral, and there must be news soon." "Han Jingyan has no power or power, he only has the false name of the grandfather of the country, if someone wants to harm him, it can't be said.

Yan Wushuang was not a person who was willing to sit and wait, so he thought for a while and said, "I'll go over and take a look." "Intuitively, that's not quite right.

When he arrived at the Guogong Mansion, Yan Wushuang soon knew that Han Jingyan had died unnaturally. Yan Wushuang said to Yuchen: "Give these people to me for trial!"

Yuchen didn't understand why Yan Wushuang had become so enthusiastic, Yan Wushuang didn't mention his father on weekdays, and he didn't like her to go back to her parents' house. Yuchen nodded and said, "Okay." With Yan Wushuang's appearance, her father's funeral will be more beautiful.

When leaving, Yan Wushuang said to Yuchen: "Although it is said that Han Yuxi was passed out, Grandpa Guo is her biological father in the end. Now that Grandpa Guo is gone, the Guogong Mansion should send someone to inform her. ”

Yuchen's face froze, but she didn't dare to resist Yan Wushuang: "I'll tell Jiancheng about this later." "The letter sent by the Guogong Mansion will not make people think about it.

When Han Jiancheng heard that he should send someone to report to Yuxi, he said with a wry smile: "Third sister, as the fourth sister, even if you tell her that her father has passed away, she will not come back to mourn." "Not to mention that the fourth sister and her father have turned against each other, let's just say that the identity of the fourth sister is impossible to return to Beijing.

Yuchen also knew that Yuxi would not return to Beijing: "This is the prince's order, you just do it." After a pause, Yuchen said again: "You sent the news of your father's death to Ho City, what she wants to do is her business." "No one knows better than Yuchen, Yuxi has had no feelings for his father since he was a child. Now that his father is dead, I'm afraid that Yuxi won't shed a single tear.

Han Jiancheng knew that Yan Wushuang was deliberately trying to embarrass the fourth sister. Although he felt that this was a bit inferior, the person had to bow his head under the eaves: "Okay, I'll let people go to the northwest to deliver the letter now." "Anyway, with the ability of his fourth sister, no one can make her suffer.

Yuchen said bluntly: "The funeral can't be handed over to the Li family, otherwise my father's funeral will become the laughing stock of the capital." When the time comes, their faces as children will be disgraced.

Han Jiancheng nodded and said, "I will let the Lu family handle my father's funeral." "Han Jingyan is dead, he is the biggest in the Guogong Mansion, and the Lu family doesn't need to pretend to be sick anymore.

Yuchen snorted and said, "It's good that you have a plan in your heart, if you have anything to worry about, tell me." Dad's funeral must be done in a beautiful manner. ”

Han Jiancheng pursed his lips, shook his head and said, "No." "I don't have enough money, so I go and do it. He didn't have anything of value in his hand, but the calligraphy, paintings and antiques in his father's study and bedroom were still very valuable.

In the evening, Yuchen returned to the palace. Not long after returning to the palace, Yan Wushuang came over.

Yuchen hurriedly stood up and asked, "Lord Wang, who wants to put my father to death?" There are not many people who have a grudge against his father, and that enmity is not to the point of killing people. Yuchen thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't think of who was the poisoner.

Han Jingyan looked at Yuchen and said, "It has been found out, it is your father's personal maid Baimei who added quinoa to the medicine." This maid was bought from Renyazi more than a month ago, and she was close to serve more than half a month ago. "It's better to say it's a personal maid, it's better to say it's a bed warmer. Han Jingyan is really cowardly, and someone who doesn't know the details dares to call closely. As long as you have the heart, it is easy to kill him.

Yuchen also knew a little about Han Jingyan's affairs, and immediately heard Yan Wushuang's words. Yuchen said: "Who is the mastermind behind the scenes?" This Baimei is at most a chess piece.

Yan Wushuang shook his head and said, "No matter how she is tortured, she gritted her teeth and didn't say anything. In the end, he was tortured and died. "The truth of the matter is that Bai Mei confessed, saying that her brother was arrested, and those people used her brother's life to force her to release medicine in Han Jingyan's pharmacology.

Yan Wushuang followed Bai Mei's confession to investigate, and soon arrested the man. However, when they found him, he was dead, and there were several small bloody clothes in the house.

The person's bottom Yan Wushuang also quickly found out, this person was Han Jingyan's former classmate, and he had a dispute with Han Jingyan when he was studying in the academy, and was discounted by Han Jingyan. If he is lame, he can't participate in the imperial examination, and that person's future was ruined by Han Jingyan. And Han Jingyan, as the son of the Guogong Mansion, is powerful and powerful, so he has lost some money.

Yuchen asked in disbelief, "Died without confessing anything?" said nothing, and the murderer behind the scenes could not be found.

Yan Wushuang said: "Don't worry, I will definitely catch the murderer behind the scenes." As long as it has been done, there will always be clues. "I deliberately didn't tell Yuchen the truth because Yan Wushuang had other plans.

Yuchen said with tears in his eyes: "Thank you, Lord Wang." ”

After a conversation, Yan Wushuang left. Yuchen waited until Yan Wushuang's back was gone, and his face immediately sank. There are several people under Yan Wu's hands who are very powerful in interrogation, how can such a person not even pry open the mouth of a maid. So Yuchen can be sure that Yan Wushuang already knows who the murderer is behind the scenes, but he has other plans, so he doesn't tell himself.

Mama Gui came over with a cup of ginseng tea, looked at Yuchen's face and asked, "Niangniang, but the mastermind behind the scenes has not been found?" Han Jingyan is no longer a thing, but also the father of his master. His father died tragically, and when his children naturally wanted to avenge him.

Yuchen was silent for a moment and then said: "The real culprit behind the scenes has been found, but the prince told me that he hasn't found it yet." ”

Mama Gui looked suspicious and asked, "Princess, how do you say this?" The prince didn't say it, how do you know that the real murderer has been found?"

Yuchen said that the person who drugged Bai Mei was Bai Mei, and after speaking, he said: "Bai Mei is a maid, how can she stand that kind of torture." Moreover, the executioners are measured, and they will not let the prisoner die until they confess. "So Bai Mei must have died after confessing.

Mama Gui handed the ginseng soup to Yuchen and said, "If the prince doesn't tell you, it may be that he has his intentions." Don't think about it, princess, drink this ginseng soup!"

Thinking about the cause of Han Jingyan's death, where could Yuchen still drink this ginseng soup. Yuchen waved his hand and said, "Take it down!" In a short period of time, she didn't dare to drink ginseng soup.

Mama Gui persuaded: "Princess, you should rest after a tired day, otherwise your body will not be able to stand it." "Since Yuchen gave birth to twins, her health has not been as good as before.

Yuchen's mind was messed up, and he couldn't think of a clue: "Okay." "When you're rested and your mind clear, you might be able to figure out why.

After waiting for Yuchen to sleep, Mama Gui looked at the ginseng soup on the table and drank it. Yuchen has a shadow in his heart, but Mama Gui doesn't.
