Jia Yingchun of the Red Chamber
Chapter 60
Yingchun suddenly made a sound, which surprised the people in the hall. Before this girl was humming, everyone thought she was frightened, but now she speaks so forcefully. Could it be that there is something hidden?
Yingchun, please turn your eyes coldly, sweeping around, leaving heavy slashes on the faces of those servants who are about to move, the eyes are full of vigilance, intending to warn these servants, don't take advantage of the gaps in your speech to make rash moves on your sister Jia Yuanchun.
Those internal servants who were hesitant to subdue Yingchun put their minds to rest, and each retreated to the hidden realm.Come on, Concubine Li was so clamoring and agitating before, and the Empress Dowager did not call to arrest the Jia sisters, it seems that it is not easy for the Jia sisters, one more thing is worse than one less thing, after all, it is all according to the emperor's order.
Seeing that the deterrence had taken effect, Yingchun straightened her clothes and knelt down again: "I would like to report to the Empress Dowager, my concubine asks for permission, and presents a birthday gift to the Empress Dowager!"
The emperor and empress dowager were all surprised, birthday gift?Isn't this pot of dead orchids owned by Yanxi Palace?Is there any fraud in it?
The emperor's secret eyes examined the Spring Festival.The emperor also thought that this pot of orchids was a misunderstanding, and hoped that the empress dowager would forget about today's obscurity, and it would be a good thing to be happy even for a moment. The emperor only felt that he was not filial if the empress dowager's birthday was made like this.After pondering for a moment, the emperor looked decisively at the empress dowager: "Mother, do you think? How about?"
The Empress Dowager looked at Yingchun: "Chongyuan, raise your head!"
Yingchun raised her head, looking straight at the Queen Mother with a pair of clear and lingling eyes, nervous and anxious, without any fear or guilty conscience.
The empress dowager hooked her forehead and her lips: "I hope that Chongyuan will not disappoint me."
Yingchun slowly burst into a smile: "Thank you, Empress Dowager, for trusting me!"
Yingchun waved, and a servant brought up two or two flower-protecting warm pavilions.
Yingchun personally opened the warm pavilion marked with Hanlan, and ordered her servants to carry the orchids out of the warm pavilion. Then, facing everyone, Yingchun slowly lifted up the milky white gauze cover. The moment the gauze cover was lifted, there was a faint fragrance floating in the hall.
Then, Yingchun quickly took off the gauze cover, and the faint orchid fragrance quickly permeated the hall, making people enchanted, relaxed, forgetful, and relieved.
The Empress Dowager felt the fragrance of flowers lingering around her nose, but she also felt a wonderful emotion rising from her heart, instantly penetrating her limbs and bones. She felt that her whole body was smooth, and she felt so comfortable that she just wanted to sigh. For a moment, the corners of her mouth curled up, and her eyebrows and eyes curved into crescents.
Seeing the empress dowager like this, the emperor immediately felt relieved, and followed the empress dowager's gaze.
But I saw a pot of purple-red orchid standing upright in the center of the hall, the flower plant was tall and straight, the thin leaves were slender and handsome, and the three purple-red scapes stood gracefully among the green leaves.The flowers on the flower pavilion are in full bloom, and the flowers are elegant.
When the emperor saw this pot of orchids, his eyes lit up, because this pot of orchids was a gift from the emperor to Yingchun. The flower pot was quite different from the one prepared by the House of Internal Affairs. Office fired.
The emperor smiled slightly, knowing that Yingchun directly produced evidence to prove her innocence, and did not engage in verbal disputes with Concubine Li, this was to save face for Concubine Li.The empress dowager was bathed in the scent of flowers, and she had long forgotten the shadow of the pot of dead orchids.
Concubine Li felt terrified when she saw that Yingchun brought out such a beautiful pot of orchids. Although she was careless in raising orchids, she remembered that her pot of orchids only had one scape and ten buds. The pots are luxuriant, the flowers and branches are beautiful, and the fragrance is overflowing?
Concubine Li panicked and wanted to step forward to argue.Who would have thought that the emperor was staring at her, and when he saw that she was going to embarrass the queen mother again, he gave a look, but saw a servant approaching Li Fei like a ghost, and gently pressed her on the back of her head, Li Fei fainted softly, and immediately , was taken down.
The emperor stared at Concubine Li, and Yingchun was also looking around. Yingchun seemed to be facing the throne, smiling at the Empress Dowager, but the corner of his eyes covered the audience. Seeing Concubine Li being subdued, Yingchun knew that her sisters were out of danger. With a faint smile, he gently twirled the jade bracelet, implying that the koi would like to start the orchid birthday celebration.
The koi got the order to give the orchid a touch of spirit to the flower, and everyone felt their eyes brighten. The purple orchid was instantly radiant, and it seemed to be coated with a layer of brilliance. It flowed faintly from the flower pavilion, and the flowers The leaves and flower scapes move without wind, and the cold orchid seems to be given life and come alive.Along with the trembling of the flower branches, bursts of delicate fragrance permeated everywhere, covering every corner of the entire hall in an instant.
The Empress Dowager was attracted by this spectacle, and even helped the emperor to walk down, pointing to the flower branch, she was pleasantly surprised: "Look, the emperor, this flower seems to be alive!"
Yingchun pretended to be surprised: "Ah, the concubine of Xunri felt that this flower has an elegant posture and elegant fragrance, but it is not as lively and graceful as it is today. Could it be that the orchid fairy also has the meaning of admiration, and it is impossible to come here to pay homage to the Queen Mother! "
The empress dowager smiled and said, "Really, does this flower have a name?"
Yingchun said: "My sister once said that there are three pavilions of flowers, just like a flying phoenix spreading its wings, with the potential to hover and leap, but this flower is just purple, my sister said, what a red phoenix facing the sun!"
The emperor laughed loudly when he heard it: "Okay, what a red phoenix facing the sun, this is simply auspicious auspiciousness specially created for the mother's birthday!"
The Empress Dowager laughed so hard that she could see her teeth but couldn't see her eyes. She stretched out her hand to hold Yingchun: "Good girl, I know that you are a good girl, and only a handsome person like you can grow such handsome flowers!"
The queen mother finished speaking and looked at Emperor Qianyuan: "Emperor, you are a rich man, the order is good, I am very happy!"
"Well, as long as the queen mother likes it."
The empress dowager meant to reward the Spring Festival. Of course, the emperor would not go against the empress dowager's intention at this time, but Rongfu already had a noble concubine. Could it be that he was conferring a concubine?This is too much kindness, and this girl is not tall enough, so it is too early to be favored.However, the emperor saw that Yingchun was very pleasing to the eye, and his eyes were full of smiles: "Chongyuan's filial piety is commendable. Originally, it is not appropriate for children to be rewarded heavily. Since the empress dowager said so well, how about I grant you one wish!"
As soon as these words came out, all the concubines in the hall changed their complexions. A wish can be big or small. If Jia Yingchun asked to be named a concubine or a noble concubine, the emperor would probably agree to it because of his golden words.
However, there are no fools in the palace, and everyone is in the mood of watching a joke. If the emperor wants to reward him, he probably won't make such a joke. , I'm afraid she will fall out of favor before being favored.
In an instant, the queen, Concubine Shu and Concubine Hui all laughed sweetly.
At the beginning of Yuanchun, he was very relieved, and instantly sensed that there was a trap in these words, fearing that Yingchun would not know the importance, he was busy winking at her and shaking his head slightly.
Yingchun ridiculed Emperor Qianyuan for being cunning, but she was busy thanking him happily: "Thank you for the emperor's reward, my concubine is begging the emperor for help."
When Yuan Chun heard this, he became impatient: "Chong Yuan, as concubines, we should honor the Empress Dowager, how can we ask for a reward!"
The emperor smiled: "Yo, you are not welcome, I am polite to you here, you really have something to do, so just say it, I speak well, and I mean what I say!"
Yingchun Yifushen: "The brothers and nephews in my concubine's family are studying day and night, and they want to be admitted to the Imperial College, but, according to the grace system, there is only one place in the Rongfu to study in the Imperial College. A place to study in the Imperial College, so that the concubines, brothers and nephews will not be disappointed."
The emperor waved his hand: "What's so difficult, I promise you!"
Yingchun Yingying leaned over: "More emperors!"
This matter is related to the Rong Mansion, and Yuan Chun is also a beneficiary. He hurriedly got up to thank him, and the emperor smiled like a thief with big eyes: "My concubine is flat!"
Yingchun helped Yuanchun back to his seat, and Yuanchun sneaked a glance at Yingchun: "You are so narrow-minded, you scare me!"
At this point, the empress dowager has completely dissipated her remaining anger, or the empress dowager is willing to appease her anger, so what can she do, her own niece and daughter are causing her troubles, can she accidentally throw people into limbo?
There is no suitable woman from the younger generation of the Zhen family to enter the palace. The queen mother wants to leave some support for the Zhen family. Of course, it would be better to get the protection of the next emperor.Who has no selfishness? No matter how good other people's children are, they are not as close as blood relatives.
It's a pity that Concubine Li doesn't seem to be transparent. She is pregnant and has her own support, but she still has to go all out. She uses herself as a stepping stone to suppress her dissidents. It's really chilling.
The empress dowager thought about which piece of imperial decree was crumpled by the emperor, and she just sighed in her heart, the position of noble concubine came without joy!
In order to appease the emperor's anger and keep Concubine Li's honor and favor as much as possible, the Empress Dowager decided not to be angry anymore, and let the emperor lose face in front of the ministers. In the future, Concubine Li will be punished even more severely. Let's clean up the palace, the sky is cold, don't freeze the civil and military officials of the Manchu dynasty!"
The emperor was in trouble, how could he open his mouth to respectfully ask the empress dowager to move, the clinker empress dowager actually proposed it herself, the emperor was moved to tears, this is the real mother, she always thinks of her son.The more I hated those ghosts and monsters who made things difficult for the Empress Dowager, I secretly became ruthless in my heart, and I found out one by one and flayed them alive!
For a while, the Empress Dowager came to Qianqing Palace, Yingchun and other concubines rushed back to their respective palaces to change clothes and clean their faces. Later, all the concubines had to dress up to attend the birthday banquet of Ningshou Palace, and accompanied the Empress Dowager to listen to operas, eat wine and have fun.
Although Yuan Chun was canonized as a noble concubine today, she is not qualified to leave the harem and approach the Qianqing Palace. Later, the canonization ceremony will be officially held by the Queen Mother in Ningshou Palace.
Yingchun is preparing to go back to the palace to change clothes, and is also preparing to reward Du Ruo with a cup of space tea. Everyone is loose and loose. Today's experience is too rich and bizarre.Clinker, except for Ningshou Palace, was detained by Yuan Chun into his warm sedan chair, and dragged into Chengqian Palace by Yuan Chun's jade hand.
Yingchun thought that Yuanchun would ask about the Hanlan incident, clinker, the moment the sisters stepped into Fengzao Palace, Yuanchun suddenly burst into tears: "They are so vicious! Second sister, I am lucky to have you today, otherwise, I would not be able to keep my stomach. , my life is over."
Yingchun didn't expect that Yuanchun, who had always been strong, would cry and become paralyzed. She never took today's danger seriously, but she forgot that she had koi's secret help, and Yuanchun didn't know anything.Yuan Chun only knew that if Yingchun didn't sacrifice her life to save her today, her stomach would be late. He only conceived at the age of 23. If he had a miscarriage, he didn't know if he would still have a chance to get pregnant in this life, and she didn't know either. Fighting for favor, perhaps, she will sink into grief from then on, and it will be difficult to turn over.
Yuan Chun was really scared, and he was terrified later!
Yingchun knew that her persuasion was useless, so she had to repeat: "Sorrow hurts the body, sister sees the child in her belly, so she should take care of herself, sister must trust the Holy One, today's matter will definitely be fair for sister."
Only then did Yuan Chun hold back his tears, choked with sobs: "Sister, you are right behind me, can you see who is doing the trick? I will find her out and hand her over to the emperor, and cut her to pieces!"
Yingchun is silent.
In this era, who convicts and who collects evidence.Although she knew who the murderer was, she had no witnesses or evidence.Unless the emperor fully trusted his sister, imprisoned Concubine Ning, or imprisoned Concubine Ning's servants, and used torture, it would be difficult to find the murderer.
Furthermore, in this era, relatives are advocated to hide from each other, and slaves and maidservants should hide from each other regardless of crime. On the contrary, slaves and maidservants who sue the master will be punished by death.Therefore, there are some slaves in the palace who would rather ask for death than sue their master.Therefore, unless Concubine Ning couldn't bear it herself, it would be difficult to convict her.
And once Yingchun testifies against Concubine Ning, and Concubine Ning survives the torture, Yingchun will be convicted of murdering the dragon's heir, and even Yuanchun will be implicated, which is difficult to be comprehensive.
Unless you have enough evidence to prove the death of Concubine Ning, it's better not to be impatient.Especially for a person like Yuan Chun who has the hatred of killing himself and his children, it is difficult to infer with common sense.Therefore, Yingchun decided to hide the truth: "I was frightened by Zhou Meiren's incident at the time, and I didn't pay attention at all. Qin Zhaoyuan screamed, and I realized that my sister was in trouble."
Yuan Chun frowned: "If this is the case, my sister should not be able to save me in time."
Yingchun smiled wryly: "I didn't know how to catch my sister. This is probably what people say, I would bite if I did it for myself!"
Yuan Chun pursed his lips and said happily: "Nonsense again, how can I compare myself to a rabbit!" Pulling Yingchun to the inner room to change clothes: "It's getting older every day, so it's impossible to always be so straightforward. From now on, you have to think twice about everything. And then, before the words come out, you have to pass them in your throat three times before you say them."
Yingchun was trying on Yuanchun's Firefox jacket, and she was giggling: "Today, my sister and Concubine Li spoke one sentence after another, like a shuttle, and I didn't see my sister think twice!"
Yuan Chun smiled: "You will be talkative, my sister is in a hurry!"
All of a sudden, the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent a brand-new imperial concubine dress, a peacock-style phoenix crown, inlaid with red and green gemstones, and the three dragons on the top of the crown hold beads and string tassels in their mouths. ; Apricot red Hui Zhai pattern court clothes, rich and gorgeous.
Yingchun squints her eyes, it is true that people depend on clothes and horses depend on saddles.When Yuan Chun dressed up, she looked dignified and elegant, with her plump skin and jade face like a silver plate, the whole was magnificent and luxurious, majestic and natural, very reminiscent of the mother of the country.It is not inferior to the majesty of meeting the queen.
Yuan Chun smiled and asked Yingchun: "Can you still see it?"
Yingchun's forehead: "It fits perfectly!"
Clinker, Yuanchun's long-awaited canonization ceremony was exhausted in a hurry, but after Meiren Zhou dropped a formed male fetus, Concubine Li fainted on the spot, and her bright yellow python robe was soaked in bright red blood, which was shocking.
Yuan Chun was so frightened that his hands and feet went limp, and he held Ying Chun tightly again, trembling all over, feeling even more grateful for Ying Chun in his heart.Concubine Li was pregnant in May and something happened. If Yingchun hadn't rescued her in time, Yuanchun's pregnancy would have been lost.
That night, Concubine Li conceived and dropped a well-formed male fetus, and the empress dowager fainted immediately.
That night, Zhang Baolin and Zhou Meiren gave birth to the eldest concubine Fu Jinyu because of throwing Zhou Meiren down. When she was summoned by the queen for questioning, she had a miscarriage due to fear and lost her two-month-old fetus.
Concubine Hui was in great pain and fainted from crying.
Emperor Qianyuan was furious and ordered a thorough investigation.
Because the empress dowager fainted, Yingchun stayed in Ningshou Palace to accompany the empress dowager all day. The empress dowager was hit hard this time. There were five pregnant women in the palace, and three of them lost three babies at once, and the second of them was a male fetus.What made the Queen Mother especially sad was that Concubine Li lost her dragon fetus. This was not only the loss of a grandson for the Queen Mother, but also the loss of the Zhen family's future support.
What's more serious is that after Concubine Li's miscarriage, the placenta was hard to come down, which caused postpartum hemorrhage. Although she tried her best to come over, her body suffered serious losses. Can't keep it back.At the beginning, the queen mother was murdered and aborted, she repeatedly slipped her tires, and gave birth again. It has been ten years later, at the age of 28.
Concubine Li is narrow-minded, can she have her own luck?
As a result, the Empress Dowager became seriously ill and lingered on the sick bed.
The emperor lived in a hut inside the gate of Ningshou Palace, and personally served the empress dowager decoction.
It was the end of the new year, and the Gubeikou Royal Ranch was hit by a severe snowstorm, killing and injuring more than half of the horses, cattle and sheep.
The emperor was in a state of desperation.
At this very moment, the Punishment Department finally found out that the culprit of Zhou Meiren's miscarriage was actually Shi Furong, the princess of Zhongshun Prince.
The emperor ordered Shi Furong to be detained for torture, but was stopped by King Zhongshun, and Princess Mudan took off her hairpin to plead guilty.In the end, Shi Furong was deprived of the title of county lord, and the son was fined for three years.
The eldest son of the emperor lost his fetus because of Fu Jinyu, but he was reprimanded by the royal family, and he was crowned king as usual.
Zhou Meiren gave birth to a male fetus, but failed to move to the eldest son of the emperor as she wished.Concubine Shu vomited old blood.However, Zhou Meiren hated her cousin Shufei and the eldest son because of Concubine Shu's deception.
After that, she got the title of Jieyu as she wished, and gradually separated from Concubine Shu.
This is a later story, let alone mention it.
Looking back, she said Yuanchun, Zhou Meiren's enemies had been punished, and Zhou Meiren herself got what she wanted, but the murderer who gave birth to Concubine Li when she was in danger has never been found.
This is not to be blamed on the emperor, the reason why the crimes of Concubine Hui and others were not found out is because Concubine Hui lost her grandson, the emperor took it for granted that Concubine Hui would no longer be among them.
Yuan Chun did not give up on the investigation, and finally she found Ning Concubine.
She is indeed a ten-year veteran in the palace, and the dark thread in her hand finally provided her with an ambiguous clue. Concubine Ning once hugged the sick and weak second prince after Concubine Li gave birth, and smirked all night, saying what to say to make the second prince Don't be discouraged, she will remove all obstacles for the second prince.
Therefore, Yuanchun persuaded the queen to secretly devise a plan to lure the sick and weak second prince to hide in Changyin Pavilion when the emperor was out of the palace to inspect the capital.Concubine Ning was in a turmoil because of her son's disappearance. Impulsively, she thought it was Concubine Hui taking revenge on her for losing her grandson, so she rushed into Yikun Palace to quarrel with Concubine Hui. thing.
However, the two deacons of the Punishment Division who were pre-arranged by the queen to eavesdrop in the Yikun Palace were too real to monitor.
Afterwards, the results of the investigation were directly handed over to the emperor's desk, bypassing the empress dowager.
The moment he received the report, the emperor vomited blood.
If it's the first woman the emperor slept with, Concubine Hui was the first woman the emperor really liked.
This time, because the eldest son of the emperor lost his eldest son, and did not turn over the concubine Hui's brand for a long time.
Before this, the emperor secretly attributed all this to King Zhongshun, thinking that it was just their concealment, and given time, the truth would come out, and the emperor was going to give them a severe blow.
The emperor has made up his mind, once the evidence is convincing, he is ready to retaliate and send Prince Zhongshun and Shi Junma to Fujian to supervise the battle.
The reality of clinker gave the emperor a slap in the face, and the murderer was actually the person next to his pillow!
The emperor felt that he was simply blind.He always thought that Concubine Hui was a kind and weak woman. Over the years, he had been secretly protecting the first passionate woman in his life.Among the three sons, he expected the most from the eldest son of the emperor.
Now, what Concubine Hui has done has overturned all his previous cognitions.
Today is the twentieth of the twelfth lunar month.
The empress dowager's health has improved slightly, the emperor dare not untie this scar at this time, hurting the old man again is already heartbreaking.
The emperor decided to hide everything, but wait until the beginning of the new year, when the empress dowager is in good health.
Yingchun has been eating and living in Ningshou Palace these days, the Empress Dowager is not seriously ill, but she is overly sad and downhearted.
Lingquan can only cure diseases, but not heart diseases.
Therefore, although the Empress Dowager gradually recovered under Yingchun's meticulous care, her spirit was extremely poor and she was very haggard.
Yingchun finally knew that Lingquan was not a panacea.
Turning around, he said Yuan Chun, Yuan Chun thought that if he handed over the evidence of Concubine Hui Ning's crimes to the emperor, he would be furious next.The result was calm and silent.Unavoidably discouraged, she was extremely disappointed in the emperor. After all, Concubine Li's shed blood was not as important as the eldest son of the emperor, who was already able to talk and laugh.
At this point, Yuan Chun finally had a little understanding of the emperor's affection, and then became a little indifferent.
Unconvinced in his heart, Yuan Chun quietly spread the news that Concubine Hui was the instigator through the hidden thread in his hand.
She hoped that Concubine Li could disclose the news to the Empress Dowager.Use the hands of the empress dowager to avenge himself.
Yingchun soon learned about Yuanchun's dissemination of news, and Yuanchun's actions were contrary to what the emperor wanted.But at this moment, Yingchun couldn't stop it.
Fortunately, Concubine Li was seriously injured this time, and she couldn't get out of bed all the time. Yuan Chun spread the news, but there were no consequences for the time being.
Because she was afraid of being spied by the Punishment Department to detect Yuan Chun's movements, Ying Chun didn't even dare to express her various interests to Yuan Chun, because Ying Chun peeping at the emperor's actions through the koi is also taboo in the palace.
Once it is leaked, it will be ruined and your life will be in jeopardy!
Yingchun can only hope that Yuanchun's tricks can finally hide the truth from the emperor and not reveal her details.
It's just that spies are everywhere in the Punishment Division.
Yingchun is very worried, whether Yuanchun's move will plant hidden dangers for herself.
Yingchun, please turn your eyes coldly, sweeping around, leaving heavy slashes on the faces of those servants who are about to move, the eyes are full of vigilance, intending to warn these servants, don't take advantage of the gaps in your speech to make rash moves on your sister Jia Yuanchun.
Those internal servants who were hesitant to subdue Yingchun put their minds to rest, and each retreated to the hidden realm.Come on, Concubine Li was so clamoring and agitating before, and the Empress Dowager did not call to arrest the Jia sisters, it seems that it is not easy for the Jia sisters, one more thing is worse than one less thing, after all, it is all according to the emperor's order.
Seeing that the deterrence had taken effect, Yingchun straightened her clothes and knelt down again: "I would like to report to the Empress Dowager, my concubine asks for permission, and presents a birthday gift to the Empress Dowager!"

Yingchun helped Yuanchun back to his seat, and Yuanchun sneaked a glance at Yingchun: "You are so narrow-minded, you scare me!"
At this point, the empress dowager has completely dissipated her remaining anger, or the empress dowager is willing to appease her anger, so what can she do, her own niece and daughter are causing her troubles, can she accidentally throw people into limbo?
There is no suitable woman from the younger generation of the Zhen family to enter the palace. The queen mother wants to leave some support for the Zhen family. Of course, it would be better to get the protection of the next emperor.Who has no selfishness? No matter how good other people's children are, they are not as close as blood relatives.
It's a pity that Concubine Li doesn't seem to be transparent. She is pregnant and has her own support, but she still has to go all out. She uses herself as a stepping stone to suppress her dissidents. It's really chilling.
The empress dowager thought about which piece of imperial decree was crumpled by the emperor, and she just sighed in her heart, the position of noble concubine came without joy!
In order to appease the emperor's anger and keep Concubine Li's honor and favor as much as possible, the Empress Dowager decided not to be angry anymore, and let the emperor lose face in front of the ministers. In the future, Concubine Li will be punished even more severely. Let's clean up the palace, the sky is cold, don't freeze the civil and military officials of the Manchu dynasty!"
The emperor was in trouble, how could he open his mouth to respectfully ask the empress dowager to move, the clinker empress dowager actually proposed it herself, the emperor was moved to tears, this is the real mother, she always thinks of her son.The more I hated those ghosts and monsters who made things difficult for the Empress Dowager, I secretly became ruthless in my heart, and I found out one by one and flayed them alive!
For a while, the Empress Dowager came to Qianqing Palace, Yingchun and other concubines rushed back to their respective palaces to change clothes and clean their faces. Later, all the concubines had to dress up to attend the birthday banquet of Ningshou Palace, and accompanied the Empress Dowager to listen to operas, eat wine and have fun.
Although Yuan Chun was canonized as a noble concubine today, she is not qualified to leave the harem and approach the Qianqing Palace. Later, the canonization ceremony will be officially held by the Queen Mother in Ningshou Palace.
Yingchun is preparing to go back to the palace to change clothes, and is also preparing to reward Du Ruo with a cup of space tea. Everyone is loose and loose. Today's experience is too rich and bizarre.Clinker, except for Ningshou Palace, was detained by Yuan Chun into his warm sedan chair, and dragged into Chengqian Palace by Yuan Chun's jade hand.
Yingchun thought that Yuanchun would ask about the Hanlan incident, clinker, the moment the sisters stepped into Fengzao Palace, Yuanchun suddenly burst into tears: "They are so vicious! Second sister, I am lucky to have you today, otherwise, I would not be able to keep my stomach. , my life is over."
Yingchun didn't expect that Yuanchun, who had always been strong, would cry and become paralyzed. She never took today's danger seriously, but she forgot that she had koi's secret help, and Yuanchun didn't know anything.Yuan Chun only knew that if Yingchun didn't sacrifice her life to save her today, her stomach would be late. He only conceived at the age of 23. If he had a miscarriage, he didn't know if he would still have a chance to get pregnant in this life, and she didn't know either. Fighting for favor, perhaps, she will sink into grief from then on, and it will be difficult to turn over.
Yuan Chun was really scared, and he was terrified later!
Yingchun knew that her persuasion was useless, so she had to repeat: "Sorrow hurts the body, sister sees the child in her belly, so she should take care of herself, sister must trust the Holy One, today's matter will definitely be fair for sister."
Only then did Yuan Chun hold back his tears, choked with sobs: "Sister, you are right behind me, can you see who is doing the trick? I will find her out and hand her over to the emperor, and cut her to pieces!"
Yingchun is silent.
In this era, who convicts and who collects evidence.Although she knew who the murderer was, she had no witnesses or evidence.Unless the emperor fully trusted his sister, imprisoned Concubine Ning, or imprisoned Concubine Ning's servants, and used torture, it would be difficult to find the murderer.
Furthermore, in this era, relatives are advocated to hide from each other, and slaves and maidservants should hide from each other regardless of crime. On the contrary, slaves and maidservants who sue the master will be punished by death.Therefore, there are some slaves in the palace who would rather ask for death than sue their master.Therefore, unless Concubine Ning couldn't bear it herself, it would be difficult to convict her.
And once Yingchun testifies against Concubine Ning, and Concubine Ning survives the torture, Yingchun will be convicted of murdering the dragon's heir, and even Yuanchun will be implicated, which is difficult to be comprehensive.
Unless you have enough evidence to prove the death of Concubine Ning, it's better not to be impatient.Especially for a person like Yuan Chun who has the hatred of killing himself and his children, it is difficult to infer with common sense.Therefore, Yingchun decided to hide the truth: "I was frightened by Zhou Meiren's incident at the time, and I didn't pay attention at all. Qin Zhaoyuan screamed, and I realized that my sister was in trouble."
Yuan Chun frowned: "If this is the case, my sister should not be able to save me in time."
Yingchun smiled wryly: "I didn't know how to catch my sister. This is probably what people say, I would bite if I did it for myself!"
Yuan Chun pursed his lips and said happily: "Nonsense again, how can I compare myself to a rabbit!" Pulling Yingchun to the inner room to change clothes: "It's getting older every day, so it's impossible to always be so straightforward. From now on, you have to think twice about everything. And then, before the words come out, you have to pass them in your throat three times before you say them."
Yingchun was trying on Yuanchun's Firefox jacket, and she was giggling: "Today, my sister and Concubine Li spoke one sentence after another, like a shuttle, and I didn't see my sister think twice!"
Yuan Chun smiled: "You will be talkative, my sister is in a hurry!"
All of a sudden, the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent a brand-new imperial concubine dress, a peacock-style phoenix crown, inlaid with red and green gemstones, and the three dragons on the top of the crown hold beads and string tassels in their mouths. ; Apricot red Hui Zhai pattern court clothes, rich and gorgeous.
Yingchun squints her eyes, it is true that people depend on clothes and horses depend on saddles.When Yuan Chun dressed up, she looked dignified and elegant, with her plump skin and jade face like a silver plate, the whole was magnificent and luxurious, majestic and natural, very reminiscent of the mother of the country.It is not inferior to the majesty of meeting the queen.
Yuan Chun smiled and asked Yingchun: "Can you still see it?"
Yingchun's forehead: "It fits perfectly!"
Clinker, Yuanchun's long-awaited canonization ceremony was exhausted in a hurry, but after Meiren Zhou dropped a formed male fetus, Concubine Li fainted on the spot, and her bright yellow python robe was soaked in bright red blood, which was shocking.
Yuan Chun was so frightened that his hands and feet went limp, and he held Ying Chun tightly again, trembling all over, feeling even more grateful for Ying Chun in his heart.Concubine Li was pregnant in May and something happened. If Yingchun hadn't rescued her in time, Yuanchun's pregnancy would have been lost.
That night, Concubine Li conceived and dropped a well-formed male fetus, and the empress dowager fainted immediately.
That night, Zhang Baolin and Zhou Meiren gave birth to the eldest concubine Fu Jinyu because of throwing Zhou Meiren down. When she was summoned by the queen for questioning, she had a miscarriage due to fear and lost her two-month-old fetus.
Concubine Hui was in great pain and fainted from crying.
Emperor Qianyuan was furious and ordered a thorough investigation.
Because the empress dowager fainted, Yingchun stayed in Ningshou Palace to accompany the empress dowager all day. The empress dowager was hit hard this time. There were five pregnant women in the palace, and three of them lost three babies at once, and the second of them was a male fetus.What made the Queen Mother especially sad was that Concubine Li lost her dragon fetus. This was not only the loss of a grandson for the Queen Mother, but also the loss of the Zhen family's future support.
What's more serious is that after Concubine Li's miscarriage, the placenta was hard to come down, which caused postpartum hemorrhage. Although she tried her best to come over, her body suffered serious losses. Can't keep it back.At the beginning, the queen mother was murdered and aborted, she repeatedly slipped her tires, and gave birth again. It has been ten years later, at the age of 28.
Concubine Li is narrow-minded, can she have her own luck?
As a result, the Empress Dowager became seriously ill and lingered on the sick bed.
The emperor lived in a hut inside the gate of Ningshou Palace, and personally served the empress dowager decoction.
It was the end of the new year, and the Gubeikou Royal Ranch was hit by a severe snowstorm, killing and injuring more than half of the horses, cattle and sheep.
The emperor was in a state of desperation.
At this very moment, the Punishment Department finally found out that the culprit of Zhou Meiren's miscarriage was actually Shi Furong, the princess of Zhongshun Prince.
The emperor ordered Shi Furong to be detained for torture, but was stopped by King Zhongshun, and Princess Mudan took off her hairpin to plead guilty.In the end, Shi Furong was deprived of the title of county lord, and the son was fined for three years.
The eldest son of the emperor lost his fetus because of Fu Jinyu, but he was reprimanded by the royal family, and he was crowned king as usual.
Zhou Meiren gave birth to a male fetus, but failed to move to the eldest son of the emperor as she wished.Concubine Shu vomited old blood.However, Zhou Meiren hated her cousin Shufei and the eldest son because of Concubine Shu's deception.
After that, she got the title of Jieyu as she wished, and gradually separated from Concubine Shu.
This is a later story, let alone mention it.
Looking back, she said Yuanchun, Zhou Meiren's enemies had been punished, and Zhou Meiren herself got what she wanted, but the murderer who gave birth to Concubine Li when she was in danger has never been found.
This is not to be blamed on the emperor, the reason why the crimes of Concubine Hui and others were not found out is because Concubine Hui lost her grandson, the emperor took it for granted that Concubine Hui would no longer be among them.
Yuan Chun did not give up on the investigation, and finally she found Ning Concubine.
She is indeed a ten-year veteran in the palace, and the dark thread in her hand finally provided her with an ambiguous clue. Concubine Ning once hugged the sick and weak second prince after Concubine Li gave birth, and smirked all night, saying what to say to make the second prince Don't be discouraged, she will remove all obstacles for the second prince.
Therefore, Yuanchun persuaded the queen to secretly devise a plan to lure the sick and weak second prince to hide in Changyin Pavilion when the emperor was out of the palace to inspect the capital.Concubine Ning was in a turmoil because of her son's disappearance. Impulsively, she thought it was Concubine Hui taking revenge on her for losing her grandson, so she rushed into Yikun Palace to quarrel with Concubine Hui. thing.
However, the two deacons of the Punishment Division who were pre-arranged by the queen to eavesdrop in the Yikun Palace were too real to monitor.
Afterwards, the results of the investigation were directly handed over to the emperor's desk, bypassing the empress dowager.
The moment he received the report, the emperor vomited blood.
If it's the first woman the emperor slept with, Concubine Hui was the first woman the emperor really liked.
This time, because the eldest son of the emperor lost his eldest son, and did not turn over the concubine Hui's brand for a long time.
Before this, the emperor secretly attributed all this to King Zhongshun, thinking that it was just their concealment, and given time, the truth would come out, and the emperor was going to give them a severe blow.
The emperor has made up his mind, once the evidence is convincing, he is ready to retaliate and send Prince Zhongshun and Shi Junma to Fujian to supervise the battle.
The reality of clinker gave the emperor a slap in the face, and the murderer was actually the person next to his pillow!
The emperor felt that he was simply blind.He always thought that Concubine Hui was a kind and weak woman. Over the years, he had been secretly protecting the first passionate woman in his life.Among the three sons, he expected the most from the eldest son of the emperor.
Now, what Concubine Hui has done has overturned all his previous cognitions.
Today is the twentieth of the twelfth lunar month.
The empress dowager's health has improved slightly, the emperor dare not untie this scar at this time, hurting the old man again is already heartbreaking.
The emperor decided to hide everything, but wait until the beginning of the new year, when the empress dowager is in good health.
Yingchun has been eating and living in Ningshou Palace these days, the Empress Dowager is not seriously ill, but she is overly sad and downhearted.
Lingquan can only cure diseases, but not heart diseases.
Therefore, although the Empress Dowager gradually recovered under Yingchun's meticulous care, her spirit was extremely poor and she was very haggard.
Yingchun finally knew that Lingquan was not a panacea.
Turning around, he said Yuan Chun, Yuan Chun thought that if he handed over the evidence of Concubine Hui Ning's crimes to the emperor, he would be furious next.The result was calm and silent.Unavoidably discouraged, she was extremely disappointed in the emperor. After all, Concubine Li's shed blood was not as important as the eldest son of the emperor, who was already able to talk and laugh.
At this point, Yuan Chun finally had a little understanding of the emperor's affection, and then became a little indifferent.
Unconvinced in his heart, Yuan Chun quietly spread the news that Concubine Hui was the instigator through the hidden thread in his hand.
She hoped that Concubine Li could disclose the news to the Empress Dowager.Use the hands of the empress dowager to avenge himself.
Yingchun soon learned about Yuanchun's dissemination of news, and Yuanchun's actions were contrary to what the emperor wanted.But at this moment, Yingchun couldn't stop it.
Fortunately, Concubine Li was seriously injured this time, and she couldn't get out of bed all the time. Yuan Chun spread the news, but there were no consequences for the time being.
Because she was afraid of being spied by the Punishment Department to detect Yuan Chun's movements, Ying Chun didn't even dare to express her various interests to Yuan Chun, because Ying Chun peeping at the emperor's actions through the koi is also taboo in the palace.
Once it is leaked, it will be ruined and your life will be in jeopardy!
Yingchun can only hope that Yuanchun's tricks can finally hide the truth from the emperor and not reveal her details.
It's just that spies are everywhere in the Punishment Division.
Yingchun is very worried, whether Yuanchun's move will plant hidden dangers for herself.
