Donggong: If Li Chengyin remembered first

The next day, Father woke up, and I went to see him.

His face was very haggard, his hair was scattered on his shoulders, and it was gray. I suddenly realized that he was old.

"The Gao family...is it?" The voice was dry, making it hard to hear the joy or anger.

"Gao Ming has already been put to death, and the rest of the people are still under trial."

"Yin'er, are you too anxious?"

I knelt down, cupped my hands and said: "Father had an accident that day, Erchen and Yin Wei arrived late, and because Yueniang confessed to Gao Xiang, so Erchen made up his mind to eradicate Gao..."

"How do you know that I must have been taken captive to Gao's house?" His gaze suddenly became sharp, even if he lowered his head, it was like a thorn on his back.

"My son actually doesn't know."

"You don't know?" He laughed darkly and dryly twice, and said, "I'm afraid no one knows better than you what this matter is."

I looked up at him and said, "Father once said that in order to govern, one should not offend the wealthy family. But the ministers have not forgotten that the former dynasty fell because of the fact that the wealthy households formed a clique for private interests. In the event of a natural disaster, the community's business fell apart in an instant. If the father hadn't moved Gao's thoughts, he would not have appeared in Mingyufang that day. After he went, the father dared to say that he had no idea what happened afterwards. expected that?"

"What do you think I didn't expect?" He said lightly: "You have been the prince for so many years, and I know what methods you have. But this time, it took a lot of time to take me away for the sake of a Gao family. Another big show was staged in the court hall, with ups and downs going up and down, killing chickens with a sledgehammer, it can't be justified."

"My son doesn't understand what my father means."

"Yin'er, are you avenging Concubine Shu?" When he said the word "Concubine Shu", his voice trembled slightly.

I finally felt some ups and downs in my heart, and said, "Maybe."

"What else do you want to do?"

I laughed, "There is no better way to know a son than to be a father, the emperor knows it in his heart."

He was suddenly furious, and said: "Do you still want to kill your father and king?!" He got up and kicked me down.

He may have used a lot of strength, but unfortunately, I didn't feel any pain at all.I patted the ashes on my body, and said: "Killing the father and the king? That's not true. Isn't the father still alive?"

I laughed again, "However, it may not be too long."

"What did you say?"

"Father's body is poisonous, but I don't know who injected it. It's been a long time. I'm afraid it won't last long after such a toss."

He was trembling with anger, pointed at my nose, and was speechless for a while.

I put away my smile and said in a cold voice: "Father, you should be very clear about how my mother died. You also know very well how my brother died. After all these years, you have stood above the high imperial power, Watching your concubines scheming against each other, watching your sons and brothers killing each other. In fact, you know it all, but you don't care. Just for one position, you fought bloodily and died one after another, are you still satisfied? "

As long as I said such a series of words straightforwardly, his complexion immediately turned pale.

"Actually, what's the point of brother killing each other? I thought father and son killing each other is what you want. You asked me if I was too anxious, probably. Recently, I always think of the hanging nail tree planted in my mother's palace when I was young. Once the flowers bloom, they are as dense as the morning glow. After fighting for so many years, I am tired."

I stood up, straightened my clothes, and said, "I'm here, and I want to ask you for an imperial edict. Of course, if you don't want to give it, I don't really mind. Anyway... it's already in my pocket. "

After I finished speaking, I went.

The matter of the Gao family is a foregone conclusion, the next... is naturally the Zhao family.Pulling out the radish and mud, and wanting to pick myself clean, is there such a good thing in the world?

I don't want to do anything before I go back to the East Palace, Zhao Sesur actually came to the door.

She tied up two court ladies, and came with a gloomy face.As soon as I entered the door, I fell to the ground and cried bitterly. After listening for a long time, I realized that her son ran to Xu Baolin's house a few months ago, and Gong'e went to look for it. The witchcraft peach wood card that cursed to kill her came to the princess, but the princess kept dragging it on.Now she tied up someone herself to ask for justice.

The two tied palace ladies knelt aside and shivered, looking haggard, as if they had been imprisoned for a long time, but the palace clothes they wore were spotless, probably just changed.I frowned and said, "Whose maid is this?"

"Returning to Your Highness, he is a palace servant who is personally serving in Xubaolin Courtyard."

"Xu Baolin's maidservant, you just tied her here? I don't remember that there is such a rule in the East Palace?"

She turned pale when she heard the words, and said: "Your Highness, my concubine...the concubine was in a hurry and didn't intend to overstep the rules...it's just that the princess has been suppressing it, and the concubine became suspicious, so she decided to tie up the palace servants. ask."

As she spoke, her complexion changed, she seemed angry or aggrieved, and she said in a sharp voice: "Your Highness...the concubine is wronged! The concubine is afraid! I thought this was just Xu Baolin's confusion, but I didn't want the concubine to be judged by the palace servants, but... ...Ask out that the mastermind behind the scenes is the Crown Princess! The concubine was so terrified that she didn't dare to hide His Highness...so she hurriedly brought the palace servants to report...Your Highness...Your Highness...I really don't know how I offended my sister, She actually... actually used such a vicious method to curse and kill me! Your Highness!"

I looked up at the two palace servants and said, "Is that true?"

They fell on the ground and said again and again: "Your Highness, it's true. The Crown Princess instigated it! We can't understand the Xiliang characters on the wooden sign... It says that putting it in the courtyard will bring happiness to your child, but we only believe it is true." Yes, I don't want to... it's actually a witchcraft... pity our mother..."

This side was in chaos, and a few palace people were heard coming from outside the hall, with mournful expressions, knelt down and said, "Your Highness! Your Highness... Madam Baolin is not well... Please go and have a look!"

Before I could answer, another court lady came into the palace in a panic, and said with a distressed expression: "Your Highness... Empress Baolin... has died..."

As soon as the words fell, all the people in the palace mourned and wept together as if they were responding to the scene.

I took people to have a look, and the medicinal smell in the temple was mixed with a strong smell of blood, which was disgusting.Xu Baolin's couch was covered with blood, staining the bedding bright red.Apparently he vomited blood and died after being poisoned.Xiaofeng was already in the palace, with a panicked expression, all the maids knelt on the ground, so frightened that they couldn't even cry out.

Zhao Sese followed behind me, and as soon as he entered the palace and saw Xu Baolin's body, he screamed and vomited out.

"what happened?"

I went over to help Xiaofeng sit down, and ordered someone to pour a cup of hot water for her.Holding the cup, she didn't say a word for a long time, as if she was frightened.On the other hand, Yongniang knelt down and said: "Just then the palace servants of Xu Baolin came to report that Xu Baolin was dying of illness, and begged the crown princess to go and see. Our empress is kind, and came here before I had time to change my clothes. I didn't want to. After entering the hall, before he could say a few words, Xu Baolin suddenly began to vomit blood, and after a while..."

Before Yongniang could finish speaking, a palace attendant next to him suddenly knelt down and said in a sharp voice: "You are talking nonsense! Our empress is clearly fine! As soon as the crown princess came, she fed our empress a drink of water, and the empress immediately went to sleep. He vomited blood and died! It must be you...you killed the empress! She doesn't fight or snatch her, why do you come to kill her...!" He burst into tears.

This side is still in chaos, but the imperial physician over there has finished the inspection, and it is true that he died of poisoning, and there is a little poison left in the cup on the side of the couch.

Hearing this, the palace man who was born on the other side seemed to have a strong proof, and cried again: "I know! It must be because of the witchcraft, you are afraid of revealing the truth! So hurry to kill people to silence the mouth!"

Xiaofeng's face suddenly changed when he heard this, he put down his cup, leaned over and retched.Didn't spit out anything.I was startled, and hurried to help her, only to realize that she was trembling badly. I said softly, "Xiaofeng, trust me, I will definitely investigate and make sure you are safe."
