Chapter 197
Although the fourth elder brother Yonghong was born with the words of the noble son behind his back, her biological mother was born in Nanfu after all with a low status.

Thinking that the Empress Dowager even sent her own daughter out of the palace to be raised, and now she has the patience to raise her grandchildren, not only Lang Ye can see the "good intentions" of the Empress Dowager, even the Emperor can understand.

But even if it is clear, what can be done, both Lang Ye and Hong Li have to pretend to be false, saying that this is the blessing of the fourth elder brother.

Yigui, who raised her fetus in the Changchun Palace, has gradually stabilized her fetal phase, but the person behind the poisonous snake incident has not been found until now.Lang Ye felt that there seemed to be a poisonous snake waiting in the dark.

When she was upset and unable to calm down, she would ask Qingyang to set up targets in the room.Lang Ye's throwing knife hit rate has been practiced in her previous life.In this life, in order to increase the difficulty and secrecy, the targets and throwing knives used are getting smaller and smaller.

After the Dragon Boat Festival, midsummer is hot, and it is the season of cicadas singing incessantly.After entering the palace, it is also inconvenient for the palace people to stick to the cicadas. This is the second summer after entering the palace, and Langyan is used to not taking a nap.At this time every day, she mostly reads books to pass the time or practice throwing knives like today.

Twelve small and exquisite knives as small as little fingers were densely packed and pierced into the target for three points.A red center is drawn on the small target half a foot wide.Lang Ye sighed, and pulled down the white handkerchief covering her eyes.

Qingyang looked at Lang Yan with admiration and said, "Master, you hit the target again. Master is really getting better and better, you can even hit the target with your eyes blindfolded."

After speaking, he quickly pulled out the knife from the target, placed it on a small tray and handed it to Lang Ye.Lang Ye waved her hand to signal her to put it away, "It's not difficult to spot a throwing knife, it's only fun when you do it."

It would be troublesome for Qing Yang, as Lang Ye, to be known that she has this skill of throwing knives, so he will not say more.She doesn't know how to encourage her master to do dangerous things.

In the golden autumn of August, Lang Ye, Gao Xiyue, Qingying and others sat in the main hall to discuss the banquet list and program arrangement for this year's Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet.Sitting at the top, Lang Ye had a wide view, and from a distance, she saw Lian Xin walking quickly, and then walked slowly when she reached the door, standing at the door and waiting.

Lang Ye saw that she seemed to have something urgent to report, so she said a few more words and broke up the party, letting everyone go back.

After everyone had left, Lian Xin walked up to Lang Yan and said softly, "There is news from Xiaozhi, and news from the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother said that she is mentally ill after coming in, and she is going to find someone in the harem to take care of the fourth elder brother on her behalf."

"A while ago, the empress dowager told the emperor that Concubine Mei had to be separated from her parents because of raising the fourth elder brother. She wanted to ask for a favor for Concubine Mei and make her a concubine. Now even if she doesn't want to raise her anymore, she should return the child to Concubine Mei. .”

Lian Xin said: "Master, although Xiaozhi's statement is not certain, but combined with the queen mother's plan, it is probably close to ten. The fourth prince is congenitally deficient, he is an idiot."

Lang Ye frowned, and said, "How could it be? Although I haven't met the fourth elder brother a few times, he looks like a well-behaved brother. It doesn't seem like there is any problem? Besides, the queen mother has always valued the fourth elder brother very much. Did she move under her nose?"

"Xiaozhi has never been visible in the Palace of Compassion and Peace. According to the master's order, she never dared to go to the Queen Mother. This time, I also heard from the wet nurse who took care of the fourth elder brother that the older the fourth elder brother, the slower the reaction became. In order to confirm, Xiaozhi took advantage of the I secretly tested the skill of cleaning the side hall. I won't blink when I move my hand in front of my eyes."

Lang Ye was silent for a while, and said to himself: "Si elder brother is almost six months old, right? Your son, a good son, suddenly became stupid after being raised by the queen mother for six months, what do you think the queen mother will do? Marry Harm to others? Who is the most reasonable to blame? The most beneficial?"

Lian Xin's tone was a little anxious: "Master, what do you mean?"

Lang Ye did not answer Lian Xin, but only thought in her heart:

"I am the most suitable candidate. Previously, I suppressed her status as a concubine. If the queen mother handed over the fourth elder brother to me on the grounds that her concubine status was not enough to support the prince, as a aunt, it would be difficult for me to shirk. But I have Yong Lian and Jing Se to take care of, if I don't want to, Qing Ying is next.

Jinxi is almost ten years old, she is a big girl, but Qingying has no children, presumably when the queen mother said it, both Qingying and Hongli would agree.When the child is in Qing Ying's hands, no matter if it is a day or a night, as long as someone finds out that something is wrong, it will be Qing Ying's responsibility. "

Lang Ye stopped talking, quickly stood up and said to Lian Xin: "Change clothes, I'm going to see the emperor."

Lian Xin thought that Lang Ye wanted to tell Hongli about this matter, and she also felt that it was better to let the emperor know earlier.

Lang Ye arrived at the Hall of Mental Cultivation, but never mentioned anything about the fourth elder brother.He only talked to Hongli about the family banquet during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and also said that the Empress Dowager's youngest daughter, Heng Ti, usually lived in the palace during those few days.Speaking of Hengti and Jinxi Jingse being about the same age, there are not many sisters in the palace who can play together, so I thought about letting Hengti and Jinxi live together for a few days, so that my aunts and nephews can get closer.I just don't know what the Queen Mother means.He said a few more things about the elder brothers.

In short, after finishing the business about the arrangement of the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, they began to chat with Hongli.

Listening to Lang Ye mentioning the Empress Dowager from time to time, Hongli thought that he hadn't gone to the Compassionate Ning Palace to pay his respects for a few days.So he was going to pay his respects to the queen mother, and Lang Ye said that he was also going to discuss with the queen mother about Princess Hengti, so they went together.

When the two arrived at the Palace of Compassion and Peace, they greeted the Queen Mother first.

When Hongli and the Queen Mother had finished talking, Lang Ye mentioned to the Queen Mother that he wanted Hengti and Jinxi to live with them for a few days and that his aunt and nephew would be closer.The Queen Mother had no objection to this, and said that she had asked someone to prepare a few rooms in the Palace of Compassion and Ning, and then let Jinxi and Jingse come and live with Hengti for a few days.

Lang Ye has no objection to this.

After talking about this matter, Hongli was going to have a look at the fourth elder brother.Nanny Gui, who was beside the queen mother, said that the fourth elder brother had fallen asleep.

Lang Ye and Hongli talked about family affairs for a long time, and Hongli had a kind father's heart on this matter, so he said: "It's not in the way, I'll go and have a look, so as not to wake him up."

It was not easy for the queen mother to stop the emperor from seeing her son, so she asked someone to take Hongli to the fourth elder brother's house.

When Lang Ye and Hong Li went to the fourth elder brother's house, the nuns were very conscientious.It was a coincidence that Hongli looked at the fourth elder brother in the cradle.The fourth elder brother opened his eyes, did not sleep, and looked up without crying or making noise, as if he was looking at Huang Ama.

Seeing this, Hongli picked up the child, and Lang Ye said, "Si elder brother is really well-behaved. Although Yong Lian is sensible now, when he woke up at such an age, there was no one who didn't cry when he woke up. He always had to coax him for a long time. Jing Not to mention Ser. No wonder the Queen Mother loves him, even I like him when I see him."

As he spoke, he took off the jade pendant on his waist.There are tassels under the jade pendant, and the dangling children like to grab these things the most.But the fourth elder brother didn't respond in a daze.

Lang Ye took off the armor, gently touched the fourth elder brother's little hand with his fingertips, and continued to shake the jade pendant to tease the fourth elder brother: "Little Yonglong, let's see if you like this jade pendant? If you catch the queen mother, you will be happy." Give it to you?"

Hongli had seen Lang Ye tease Yonglian and Jingse like this before, such a big kid loves to grab things.So he became interested, took off his own jade pendant and coaxed: "Your empress's empress is worn by a woman, does Yonghong not like it? Do you want Huang Ama's?"

After speaking, he waved it in front of Yonghong.

But the fourth elder brother still didn't respond.Lang Ye looked at the wet nurses who were taking care of Yonghong, and seeing their flustered expressions, she knew that they were well aware of Si elder brother's condition.

Hongli also saw something wrong at this time, and looked at the nurses with cold eyes.Lang Ye said: "In the past, my concubine heard that some wet nurses gave the little master medicine to calm the nerves for the convenience of serving, so as not to cry endlessly and be scolded by the master? Now that the fourth elder brother is like this, did you do something to the fourth elder brother? Is that so?!"

At the end of Lang Ye's speech, there was a bit of anger in her words.

Hongli stared at the nanny who was kneeling on the ground and shaking into a ball, and believed what Langya said in his heart.Thinking of his prince being murdered by these slaves, he gritted his teeth and said a word: "Say!"

Those nuns and wet nurses must have been silenced by the queen mother long ago, even if they were frightened to death, they just kowtowed and dared not say a word.

Lang Ye then persuaded Hongli, "Call the imperial physician first, and just hand over these unreasonable slaves to the Department of Punishment for questioning. Your Majesty, don't get mad at yourself."

After Lang Yan finished speaking, Hongli handed the fourth elder brother to Lang Yan's hands. Needless to say, Wang Qin had sent someone to pass on the imperial physician as soon as Lang Yan finished speaking.But Hongli walked up to the one who was kneeling in front, raised his foot, kicked it hard, and shouted: "Speak! Who gave you the courage to drug the fourth elder brother!"

The kicked person vomited blood on the spot and fell to the ground and couldn't get up. Although he was not dead, he was obviously kicked so hard by Hongli's heart-warming kick that the person couldn't stand up anymore.

Lang Ye knew that these people were innocent, but it was either these people who died or another group of people who died, and the glory and wealth of the palace was always accompanied by high risks.

The fourth elder brother won't be able to hide his dementia for long.If she doesn't act as soon as possible, this matter will be exposed while the fourth elder brother is still in the queen mother's palace.Then as long as she leaves the Compassionate Ning Palace, most of the responsibility for this matter will fall on her head.

What Lang Ye was most afraid of was not blaming the fourth elder brother for being foolish on her, but that the Queen Mother would directly set up a scheme to kill the fourth elder brother in order to conceal the matter, and then set the blame on her.

Instead of facing the unknown panic, it is better to put things on the bright side first.

Otherwise, once she is charged with murdering Huang Side, not to mention herself, even Yonglian and Jingse's future will be implicated.Even if this kind of thing is only one in ten thousand possibility, Lang Ye will choose to strangle him in the bud.And if she pointed directly at the queen mother, it would be unfilial, so she could only talk about these slaves.

Besides, if today's incident happened, even if it was found out that it was related to the Queen Mother, these people would not be able to survive.

Under Hongli's furious anger, someone finally couldn't bear it and trembled, ready to confess: "The emperor spares my life, the emperor spares my life, I am not a slave, it is the fourth elder brother who was born like this."

As soon as she said this, Hongli became even more furious.

At this time, the empress dowager and the imperial physician arrived.

Nanny Gui took the fourth elder brother from Lang Yea's hand, and held her for the imperial physician to check his pulse.

Because it was a visit to the Compassionate Ning Palace, the Tai Hospital naturally did not dare to neglect, and it was Qi Ru who came.

The queen mother naturally knew that Hongli came to see the fourth elder brother today. If the fourth elder brother was awake, then this matter must not be hidden.So on the way here, she was already thinking about countermeasures.But it is an indelible fact that the child has been raised by her for six months.

But how could she have imagined that this child, who seemed to be much more well-behaved and quiet than ordinary children at first, would become more sluggish as he grew older.

When she found out that she was about to let go, the emperor discovered her first.She took a look at Lang Hua who was standing beside the emperor and advised him not to be angry, and she always felt that this matter had nothing to do with her.

The Empress Dowager asked Lang Hua as if she didn't know what happened, "Empress, what happened? Why did the Emperor get so angry?"

Regarding the excuse just now, Lang Ye said: "Return to the Queen Mother's words. When the minister and the emperor saw that the fourth elder brother was awake, they took the jade pendant to tease the fourth elder brother to play. Unexpectedly, the fourth elder brother was stunned and did not respond. The son-in-law once heard people It is said that in order to please the master and make the master feel that he can take care of the child, some wet nurses poured tranquilizers on the young master to make the child quieter and better than ordinary people. Before the child minister asked, these slaves kept trembling with guilt.

They must have done something to be so scared. "

Pointing to the nanny who spoke just now, he said: "Who would have thought that this slave would actually say that Brother Si was born like this in order to evade responsibility.

The fourth elder brother is the noble son that the empress dowager personally said.This person has ulterior motives, no wonder the emperor is so angry. "

Lang Ye saw that the empress dowager looked unhappy, so she stopped talking about it here.

At this time, Qi Ru has long lived up to his calmness just now. Although his hands are still steady, fine beads of sweat continue to emerge from his forehead, condensing and dripping down one by one.

With his medical skills, he has already figured out that the fourth elder brother is not because of taking tranquilizing medicine.But just like what Lang Ye said, the fourth elder brother's noble son was almost veiled to the world at the full moon banquet.

Now if it is said that the fourth elder brother is born stupid, how dare he say it?

The emperor's first child after ascending the throne was born stupid, isn't this a punishment from God?Once he said it, it was hard to say whether his life could be saved.

Qi Ru dared not speak for a long time.He kept regretting in his heart, if he knew that he would encounter such a thing, he would rather fold his own hand and report illness at home.

Lang Ye saw him like this.You know that Qi Ru is a smart person, and has already thought of the consequences of this matter.

Lang Ye brought Lian Xin with her when she went to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and when she came to the Palace of Compassion and Ning from the Hall of Mental Cultivation, she had already found an excuse for Lian Xin to go back and take care of Jing Se.So no one around her was there.At this moment, Lang Ye said to Hongli: "Your Majesty, should these servants be dragged to the Punishment Department first?"

With a wave of Hongli's hand, those nursing mothers were dragged down while howling. Wang Qin was quite smart, so he immediately had them gagged.

Lang Ye signaled Wang Qin to go out and guard the door.The Queen Mother also let Nanny Gui go out.

Only the Empress Dowager, the Emperor, Lang Ye, Qi Ru and the fourth elder brother who was lying on the bed in a daze were left in the room.

 I suddenly felt that what I used to write was too stand-alone. If I said that I just found out that there is such a thing as a monthly pass, would it appear that I am stupid?
