Chapter 219, the black cauldron is coming
Although Concubine Shunde died of illness, she couldn't hide it from the eyes of smart people after all.
In Shouning Palace, the old eunuch Lin Xi walked quickly to the Queen Mother and reported in a low voice: "Recently, the imperial pharmacy has been checked by the people in front of the emperor, and the flavor of Lei Gongteng has been verified several times. ”
The Queen Mother said quietly: "In this way, Concubine Mi did not die of illness. ”
Lin Xi's face couldn't hide his surprise, "What does the Queen Mother mean, someone poisoned Concubine Mi?" ”
The Queen Mother looked puzzled, "Although Concubine Mi is suspicious, she has fallen out of favor, who will kill an inconsequential concubine who has fallen out of favor?" ”
Lin Xi said in a low voice: "The slave maid also found that the queen mother's plaster seems to have been checked by someone......"
The Queen Mother's face sank, and there was also Thunder Wilfordii in the plaster she used to treat her legs!
"The emperor's suspicion is also heavy enough! I can't even believe the mourners! The Queen Mother couldn't help but feel cold, in order to make the emperor feel at ease, she rarely even asked about palace affairs!
Lin Xi hurriedly knelt down: "The Queen Mother is angry!" It's good to let the emperor check it, so that the emperor will know that your old man is innocent. The rest of the palaces are afraid that they have not been investigated secretly. ”
The Queen Mother took a deep breath, "I don't know who it is, it took so much effort, but it was just to put the concubine to death." ”
The Queen Mother's eyebrows suddenly tufted, could it be Concubine Li's impulsiveness? When Concubine Zhaoning had a miscarriage, she looked at it coldly, and she couldn't get rid of the Empress Yuan!
The Queen Mother sighed, fortunately, the emperor announced that Concubine Mi was "sick and died", so that even if something was really found, he would not deal with it on the surface.
It's just that he was poisoned in the inner palace, and I'm afraid that this poisoned person will completely fall out of favor from now on.
Next, she just had to see who the emperor had snubbed was, and there was a chance that it would be.
In this matter, Aunt Jinshu walked in quickly, and said with a solemn expression: "Queen Mother, Chengenhou, died!" ”
The old eunuch Lin Xi lamented: "Concubine Mi died of illness suddenly, this white-haired person sent a black-haired person, where can the old marquis stand up!" ”
The Queen Mother sneered, "He Zhang, an old fox, how can he be sad about the death of a concubine?" When Empress Yuan died, he only cared about whether the prince was well. ”
After saying this, the Queen Mother's heart suddenly sank, and a chilling guess suddenly appeared in her heart, could it be ...... No way......
The Queen Mother's expression was heavy, I hope she thought too much.
Chengenhou He Zhang died of illness, this should really have died of illness. Speaking of which, this is the emperor's decent father-in-law, and after the founding of the country, it stands to reason that the emperor should also go to mourn in person to show comfort.
But the emperor only asked the crown prince to go to mourn instead of him, and gave a full 5,000 taels of silver for the funeral.
Moreover, the emperor also issued an edict to bury the Marquis of Cheng'en with the rites of the Duke of State.
That's a great grace.
Ran Goose, at the funeral of Chengenhou, there was a big farce.
Lu Weizhong's face turned pale and ran in, "Niangniang, it's not good!" Lao Cheng Enhou's aunt Zhou, suddenly went crazy at the funeral, and shouted that Concubine Shunde must have been killed by the palace's favorite concubine! ”
Wei Jiashu frowned, "Zhou? Could it be the biological mother of Concubine Mi? ”
Lu Weizhong nodded hurriedly: "Exactly!" Although this Aunt Zhou has no children, she has always been deeply favored by the old Chengenhou, especially Mrs. Chengenhou has passed away for many years, and the concubine Niangniang has entered the palace, in the Hou Mansion, this Aunt Zhou is simply half a wife! Unexpectedly, she would say such crazy words at the funeral! It matters, or in front of the prince! ”
Lu Weizhong was so anxious that he stomped his feet, if the prince doubted Niangniang, what would it be!
"Do you want to be a concubine......" Wei Jiashu muttered, "Now in the palace, I have been the most favored in the past two years. ”
Lu Weizhong hurriedly said: "Hu Meiren has been very favored since she entered the palace, and she can be regarded as a favorite concubine of the harem. ”
Wei Jiashu smiled: "She's just a beauty, and besides, the Hu family and Concubine Mi have nothing to do with each other." ”
Lu Weizhong wiped a handful of sweat and hurriedly said: "Fortunately, Li Guogong asked someone to block Aunt Zhou's mouth on the spot, and also said that she was crazy, so it didn't make a big fuss." ”
Li Guogong is the son of the late Cheng Enhou's brother He Hui, and he is already the third acting Guogong.
Wei Jiashu sighed, she probably understood who poisoned Concubine Mi and what the purpose was.
If it weren't for the emperor's failure to press the cause of Concubine Mi's death, I am afraid that she would have been the biggest suspect a long time ago.
But Rao is like this, this Aunt Zhou's "crazy words" still put a hat on her head to murder Mi Concubine. Although there is no real evidence, sometimes, there is really no need for real evidence.
In fact, if it weren't for the fact that she was surrounded by people appointed by the emperor, I was afraid that the He family would be eager to directly arrange "real evidence" for her.
Wei Jiashu didn't understand, why did the He family suddenly target her? And he didn't hesitate to lose his biological daughter?
Eh, well, Concubine Mi, her biological daughter, seems to have no other use except for pulling the hind legs of the prince and her mother's family.
Losing this daughter doesn't seem to be a loss to the entire He family, and it also avoids Concubine Mi from stabbing Lou Zi again in the future!
But why blame her?
Obviously, there are concubines and concubines above!
She's just a concubine!
"Lu Weizhong, in the eyes of others, am I particularly favored?" Wei Jiashu couldn't help but ask.
Lu Weizhong was stunned for a long time before he said: "Niangniang's pet crown six palaces!" The emperor has always treated his mother differently. ”
Yes, she is a palace maid, and after serving the emperor for only two or three years, she is already ranked among the ninth concubines! Look at the virtuous concubines of other people, who are also born as palace maids, and have given birth to so many babies, they are just concubines!
And the emperor's favor for her is far above that of the virtuous concubine!
"Yes, the Imperial Concubine of the First Emperor Dynasty is a lesson from the past!" If it weren't for the early death of the son of the imperial concubine, I'm afraid that the throne would not be the turn of the current emperor!
The He family is afraid, afraid that she will become the second Rongxian Imperial Concubine!
Wei Jiashu covered his face, this is a little richer, right?
As soon as the imperial concubine Rongxian entered the palace, she was crowned a concubine, and she was promoted to the concubine just before she was pregnant, and when she gave birth to a son, she was directly the imperial concubine who was more than the deputy queen, and almost robbed the queen mother of the current queen mother's throne!
What is she compared to this cow man?!
At this time, Concubine Li rushed into her dormitory in a hurry, because she was walking too fast, the golden silk steps on her bun were swaying, Concubine Li grabbed Wei Jiashu's hand, "Have you heard about what happened to Cheng Enhou?!" ”
Wei Jiashu nodded.
Concubine Li was so anxious that she stomped her feet, "This is obviously going to buckle the black pot on your head!" ”
Wei Jiashu hurriedly said: "Anyway, there is no real evidence, even Li Guogong said that Aunt Zhou is crazy, how can the words of a madman be counted?" ”
Concubine Li was so anxious that she was sweating, "You don't understand!" Sometimes, even if there is no evidence, it is enough to make the emperor suspicious! ”
Wei Jiashu smiled and asked, "The emperor is suspicious of me, what will happen?" ”
"Of course it's out of favor...... Forehead! Concubine Li suddenly stopped abruptly in the middle of her words, yes, there is no real evidence, just based on rumors, even if the emperor is suspicious, at most he will no longer favor the concubine.
Concubine Li breathed a sigh of relief: "I almost forgot, you don't care about the emperor's favor at all." ”
Xuan Chengyi, who came in a hurry, turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
