[Red Mansion] Married by decree

The doll was finally handed over to Nanny Gu, and Nanny Gu looked through it. The doll was made of ordinary fabric.In front of it is a small piece of white rice paper, on which a person's birth date is written.The doll's heart and limbs were pierced with silver needles, which looked scary.

"It's indeed the horoscope of the prince." After finishing speaking, Madam Gu handed the witchcraft doll to Mr. Zhou and the other three to see.

Xiyuan was some distance away from where Daiyu was, and several people waited for quite a while before Qingxin was brought over.From a distance, Qingxin saw the doll that Manager Zhou was holding in his hand. Standing in the distance, she didn't see it very clearly, but she felt familiar.

When she got closer, Qingxin saw Ziqing who was blocked.Because of the struggle, Zi Qing looked a little embarrassed.Qingxin carefully looked at the doll in Manager Zhou's hand again, and confirmed that it was the one she put in Daiyu's room.

Seeing this, Qingxin panicked in her heart, she knew that the incident had happened, and it seemed that Ziqing had confessed herself, and she might even shirk all the responsibility on herself for self-protection.

Before the two came to Daiyu to say hello, Qingxin plopped down and knelt down: "Princess, this servant was forced to do so by Ziqing. Wangfei Mingjian, this doll was also given by Ziqing to this servant. I don't even know how to write the horoscope of the prince's birthday and paste it on the doll."

The two were originally cooperating for their own interests, and now, in order to alleviate their own guilt, they naturally don't care about pushing everything to each other.Ziqing is like this, and so is Qingxin.

Ziqing looked at Qingxin with some resentment, as if such a look could make Qingxin shut up.

You Lan came here with Qing Xin, and when she came, she nodded to Dai Yu, indicating that the things she had explained had been done.

"There is such a thing, but just now Ziqing said that you coerced her into everything. Luo Yan, who do you think this princess should believe?" Seeing this, Daiyu glanced at the three of them, and then said, the first half The sentence was still addressed to Qingxin, but the second half of the sentence mentioned Luo Yan's name.

Luo Yan has been in a state of absent-mindedness, and she didn't respond when Qingxin knelt down, but just stood aside silently, as if weighing something.

Only when Daiyu called her name did Luo Yan react.She still had some hesitation, she didn't know if what Youlan said to her before was a test, or if Daiyu really had some evidence in her hands.

"Princess, this servant feels that both of them are guilty."

Luo Yan decided to take a gamble. At this time, he admitted that he knew everything from the beginning, but chose to conceal it for his own petty thoughts, which was not good.This behavior is no different from that of an accomplice.Therefore, she bet that Daiyu has no evidence to prove that she knows everything, and everything is just speculation.

Even though Luo Yan thought so, she was still terrified in her heart, and she was also afraid that she made a wrong bet and would be punished with the same crime as Qing Xin and others.

"All guilty?" Daiyu suddenly smiled with the corners of her lips curled up, and then asked each word, her words were very intimidating, as if she had insight into everything: "Luo Yan, do you want to be an oriole? Do you still want to be a Phoenix?"

"The servant girl is Luo Yan, not a squirrel or a phoenix." Daiyu's question was rather straightforward, at least as soon as the words came out, several people guessed about the matter.

Since Luo Yan decided to pretend to be stupid, he naturally wanted to pretend to be stupid to the end, just pretending that he didn't understand the meaning of this sentence.Left and right Daiyu had no evidence, and could not convict her.

Daiyu's eyes narrowed suddenly, and then she spoke word by word, each word she said was emphatic and slow, and each word fell heavily on Luo Yan's heart, making Luo Yan gradually despair: "Luo Yan Yan, do you think that no one will see what you eavesdrop on. Youlan, go and bring someone up."

Hearing Daiyu's words, Luo Yan couldn't hold on any longer, she lay on the ground, and then suddenly kowtowed to Daiyu desperately: "It was Luo Yan who was confused for a while, the princess spared this time, and the servant will not let you down again!" I dare not."

"Have you ever thought about what your intentional concealment will do to this princess!"

"Slave... Slave... Slave is afraid to say rashly that the princess doesn't believe in slave."

Luo Yan naturally knew what would happen to Daiyu if the witchcraft story was confirmed.It was because she knew that she didn't say it.The mantis catches the cicada and the oriole is behind her. What she wants to do is that oriole, a oriole that can become a phoenix.

She told Daiyu about this, and she would naturally make meritorious service in front of Daiyu.But if she watched Daiyu convict, wait for Yunze to come back, and then tell Yunze about it.Not only can she please Yunze, but she can also help Daiyu in a timely manner.

What's more, what she heard was not just about witchcraft.If the two of them can do the follow-up things, she can even directly overthrow the three of them and successfully fly up to the branch to become a phoenix.

When Luo Yan uttered the last sentence, several people looked at her like idiots.At this time, he was still sophistrying, and even said such things, and no one would believe him when he heard them.

"Zhou Changshi, send someone to Shuntian Mansion to inform. These three people will be handed over to Xiangzhu."

Now that the matter is clear, there is no need to ask Qingxin and Ziqing again.Daiyu was pregnant, so she wanted to avoid it, and wanted to use this incident to make Xiangzhu stand up.So he asked people to press the three of them directly in front of Xiangzhu.

The three of them framed their master, which was a capital crime.It's just that although the three of them are slaves, if they want to beat someone to death, they still have to report to the government.Otherwise, Yunze will be the one to be convicted if the incident happens in the future.With Yunze's status, those people naturally turned a blind eye.Daiyu still chooses to be more cautious, not to fall into the shoes of others.

Xiangzhu knew what Daiyu meant when he saw the three people pressing down.Then he directly ordered the person to be dragged into the yard and killed.

Both Qingxin and Luo Yan were begging for mercy, calling on the concubine to spare her life, saying that the slaves knew they were wrong.Only Ziqing, she is cursing Daiyu, cursing Daiyu and the child in her belly.The more painful she was beaten, the harder she scolded.

After hearing this, Xiangzhu ordered: "Gag their mouths."

After Xiangzhu finished speaking, some servants came to Bu and gagged all three of them.The three of them could only make a whining sound, but could not speak a word.

"Sister You Lan, how does the princess know that Luo Yan knows everything?" Dai Yu was resting in her room because she was tired.Xueyan, who was guarding in the green gauze cupboard, asked Youlan suspiciously.

She has been by Daiyu's side all the time, so she naturally knows that the person who saw Luo Yan eavesdropping does not exist at all.And even if someone saw Luo Yan eavesdropping sneakily outside Qingxin's room, they would not know what she was eavesdropping on.

The idea that Daiyu thought of in a hurry actually had many flaws, but Luo Yan was too surprised and too nervous, but he didn't find it.

Afraid of disturbing Daiyu, the two of them lowered their voices very low: "Think about it carefully. A few days ago, Qingxin came to deliver cakes to the princess every day. It was clear that she wanted to please the princess. Luo Yan, who lives in the same yard as her Maybe she didn't know, but she didn't make any movement, she didn't seem to worry at all about Qingxin getting favored in front of the princess."

Youlan didn't understand what was going on at first, but when Daiyu pointed out Qingxin's hand injury, she suddenly realized that Qingxin threw the doll into it when she fell down the screen.However, Daiyu asked her to warn the two of them, and even hinted that she would bring Luo Yan over.

At that time, she carefully recalled Luo Yan's performance since entering the mansion.What she said when she first entered the mansion was obviously to please Daiyu, but she didn't respond when Qingxin was courting her, and she didn't even show her face, which is too abnormal.

This can only show that she is not afraid of Qingxin trying to please Daiyu, or she knows that Qingxin's purpose is not to please Daiyu.

As night fell, there were fewer and fewer pedestrians on the street.The soldiers guarding the city worked together to push the gate, and the two gates were slowly closed, and finally they were tightly combined.

In the distance, the sound of horseshoes sounded, and a group of people appeared on horseback in the night.The sound of horseshoes was getting closer and closer, and finally stopped under the city gate.

"My lord?"

"Let them open the door." The man called the prince said without hesitation.

The person who inquired before got the order and shouted loudly: "Open the city gate."

"The city gate has been closed. If you want to enter the city, come back tomorrow morning."

The officers and soldiers guarding the city did not open the city gate because of this sentence, he replied formulaically.He has also seen many people who missed the time to enter the city and asked them to open the city gate.It's just that the gate of the city has been closed, and if it's not a state matter, it will not be accommodating at all.

"This king has been ordered by the emperor to go to Beijing to do business, and now I want to report back to the emperor, and I have not opened the city gate yet." Yun Ze said directly without talking nonsense.

According to Yunze's itinerary, he will arrive in the capital tomorrow.It's just that today he suddenly received the news that several people framed Daiyu, he was worried, so he left the carriage and drove back with several people on horseback.But he was in a hurry, and still missed the time to enter the city.

"Open the gate."

Hearing Yunze's words, the officers and soldiers guarding the city did not dare to be negligent. If the state affairs were really delayed, they would not be able to afford it.The city gate that had just been closed was slowly opened again.

When the city gate was opened enough to hold a horse, Yunze didn't wait any longer, and drove the horse directly towards the city gate. Seeing this, the people behind Yunze also followed Yunze.When Yunze and his party disappeared, the soldiers guarding the gate didn't even have time to salute.

After entering the city, Yunze calmed down instead. He didn't go back directly to the palace, but went to the palace first.Daiyu is pregnant now, even if she is framed successfully, no one will dare to neglect her.After all, it was his first child, and even if he had to be punished, it would be after the child was born.

What he has to do now is to go to the palace first, to report to the emperor about the completion of the errand this time, and second, to ask about the specific situation of Daiyu, so as to make plans.Fortunately, at this time, his imperial brother is still reviewing the memorial, so he won't bother him when he goes.

"Your Majesty, Prince Anshun is seeking an audience outside." The door of the imperial study room was opened, and Eunuch Ling bowed and reported to the Emperor.

The emperor was immersed in processing the memorial, but he was surprised when he saw this: "Let him in."

Eunuch Ling got the emperor's order, so he went out and invited Yunze in.The emperor glanced at the dusty Yunze, and was once again surprised by Daiyu's position in Yunze's heart: "It's a quick return, you don't have to worry, your princess is fine."

"Thank you, brother."

"You don't have to thank me, this time it's your princess' own ability."

Yunze was obviously taken aback for a moment, then smiled, his eyes were full of tenderness.After reporting his errands to the emperor, he planned to leave: "If there is nothing wrong with the emperor, I will go back first."

He just wanted to go back and see Daiyu quickly, he missed her and wanted to see her safe and sound.

The emperor looked at Yunze for a long time before he said, "Ninth brother, can I trust you?"

This was the first time the emperor asked him like this. Yunze had a bad feeling in his heart, so he knelt down and expressed his feelings: "Yunze is naturally loyal to the emperor and third brother."

"You have been doing a good job recently. I plan to make you the regent next year." The emperor spoke again, his tone was no longer as serious and serious as before, and he even pretended to be relaxed.

"Brother Huang, your body!" Yun Ze was surprised again.The regent, if not done well, is a threat to the existence of the emperor's status.

"Xiao Ba is still too young, I need your help in the future." The emperor did not answer Yun Ze's question, he said so.

"Brother Huang, you intend to... but yours..."

"I don't care about these things." The emperor suddenly closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his eyes were full of determination.
