The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Chapter 162 The Death of Meiniang
In Qingfengyuan, Li Ling Jingshu had just finished washing, Li Ling was hugging his lovely wife and comforting him, "Did what happened in the palace scare you today?"

Jing Shu said leisurely: "It's quite scary, that Concubine Wei is so young, she will be gone if she doesn't."

She sighed: "It can be seen that not everyone can live in the pinnacle of power for a long time. If you don't have any scheming city, you may die, and you don't know whose hands it will fall into."

Li Ling patted his wife and joked, "So you are only suitable to marry a man like me."

Jing Shu asked, "What do you think?"

Li Ling put his arms around her and said, "I only want you as a woman, and I won't let you suffer from those intrigues. Just keep being simple and kind forever."

The two were lying in bed, Danzhu knocked on the door anxiously and said, "My lord, my wife is not well, just now Xiyuan came to spread the word that Aunt Mei was poisoned to death."

Inside Bitang residence, Xu Wanning took off her clothes and jewelry after she returned, but she still couldn't help talking about today's events.

"Hey! Who did you say murdered Concubine Wei today? Could it be the Meng family?"

Li Xian glared at his wife, and reprimanded angrily: "I haven't talked about you yet, why can't you get rid of your long tongue? Can you make irresponsible remarks about these things?"

Xu Wanning stared back at Li Xian, and said angrily, "Didn't I tell you behind closed doors? When something like this happened, can you still stop me from asking?"

Li Xianbai reprimanded Xu Wanning: "No one said anything in the palace today, but you just said it there, you said that you are now the wife and family of important cabinet ministers, why don't you have the slightest scheming in the city, and you are careless all day long. , what does it look like."

Xu Wanning saw that her husband disliked her again, so she threw the gold hairpin she had removed on the dressing table with a loud "Okay", and replied angrily: "Don't make me angry here, hurry up, let's go!" Since the two of you don't talk to each other, we will seldom see each other in the future."

Li Xian sneered and said, "Do you think I'm willing to stay with you? It's closed at midnight, which courtyard do you want me to go to?"

The two were arguing here, and it was said that the old lady ran in in a hurry, and replied in shock: "Master, madam, it's not good, Aunt Mei has been poisoned to death."

When Li Xian and Xu Wanning heard this, they were all shocked.

Li Xian ran into the Chenxi Pavilion, and saw Mei Niang lying on her back on the bed, bleeding from all seven orifices, her eyes wide open, in a terrible death condition.

Li Xian was terrified, looked at Xiao Hong who was stupefied with fright, and asked, "What's going on?"

Only then did Xiaohong come back to her senses, she was so frightened that she quickly knelt down and cried, "My aunt just ate the moon cakes that she had distributed early in the morning, and she just left like this after eating, the servants really don't know about the rest."

Aunt Yao Mei clearly told her that it was Guo Cuiyan who gave her the abortion medicine. The plan her master had discussed with Guo Cuiyan was that she would take the medicine to kill the child in her womb, and then put the blame on Mrs. Xu to help Guo Cuiyan rise to power.Guo Cuiyan also promised her to let Meiniang stay in the mansion forever after the matter is completed.

Unexpectedly, their master died after taking the medicine, so they were following Guo Cuiyan's advice.

This woman is so vicious, until now, Xiao Hong has no choice but to insist that it is because of eating moon cakes, and how dare she tell the truth carelessly.

At this moment, Xu Wanning, Jing Shu and Li Ling also rushed over.

When Xu Wanning's mother Qiu heard Xiaohong's words, she immediately realized that she was trying to frame her aunt. She hurriedly defended: "The moon cakes were distributed by the elders early in the morning. Every house has them. How could there be?" question."

Mei Niang is a lowly native, even if she dies in such an unknown way, she doesn't need to report to the official, and the laws of Daqi don't protect such a girl without native place.But he was bestowed by the Holy One, so after dying like this, for the sake of Li Xian's official career, it's better to keep people's eyes and ears out of the way.

Li Ling ordered: "Order someone to bury him quietly, and say that he suddenly fell ill."

Li Xian sat paralyzed on the ground, thinking of the flesh and blood that would be born in two months, and recalling Mei Niang's usual good days, she stared at Xu Wanning fiercely with red eyes and said: "If I ask It was you who did it, and I will never forgive you."

Xu Wanning was also frightened by Mei Niang's death, hearing what her husband said, she didn't know how to defend herself.

On the contrary, Mother Qiu was quite calm. Seeing that Li Xian was really suspicious of her aunt, she stepped forward to protect Xu Wanning, and said to Li Xian, "Master, please don't wrong a good person casually. This Auntie Mei is about to give birth to a child." Moving out of the mansion doesn't bother our madam, so why should madam poison her."

Li Xian pointed to Xu Wanning and said, "I don't know you yet. I have always regarded Mei Niang as a thorn in my side. Who else would it be if you didn't do it?"

Jing Shu stepped forward to defend Xu Wanning and said, "Sister-in-law doesn't want to see Aunt Mei, but there's no need to poison her, and elder brother doesn't want to think about killing her. If it gets out, it will definitely affect elder brother's career. What's the benefit of sister-in-law."

Li Xian replied angrily: "Hmph! This woman might wish that I would be kicked out of the cabinet."

Li Ling stepped forward to comfort Li Xian and said: "Brother, don't be too arrogant. You still have to keep this matter a secret. If it is really publicized, it will be bad for you. Besides, sister-in-law has been married to our family for many years. Don't you know how she is? Sister-in-law It's definitely not such a vicious person, I'm afraid this matter is very strange."

After listening to Li Ling's words, Jing Shu ordered to her confidant in charge: "Put the person in the coffin quietly, and lock up the people in the Chenxi Pavilion for now."

The government of Zhen Guo dealt with Meiniang quietly and secretly. Early in the morning of the second day, the memorial to impeach Li Xianzong's wife and kill the pregnant concubine given by the imperial concubine flew to Emperor Ming's imperial study like snowflakes.

The Ming emperor's pregnant concubine had just been murdered by someone inexplicably, and this happened again in the family of a cabinet minister.It was like a timely knife, which pierced Emperor Ming's already bleeding heart fiercely, making him unable to restrain himself from thinking of the pregnant concubine who died tragically in front of him just now.

Emperor Longyan of the Ming Dynasty was furious, and immediately issued an imperial decree, disqualifying Li Xian as a cabinet minister, expelling him from the cabinet, demoting him to two levels, and sending him to the Ministry of Industry.

Li Xian has put in a lot of hard work to get to this point, but now he is expelled from the cabinet because of the back house, demoted two ranks, and sent to the poor Ministry of Industry. Qi and blood rushed to his heart, and he passed out all of a sudden.

After everyone carried him back, Xu Wanning poured two glasses of water for him before waking him up.

When Li Xian woke up leisurely, he looked at Xu Wanning in front of him, raised his hand tremblingly and gave her a slap, and said bitterly: "Well, you jealous Xu, you have made me like this now, how can you Let go of your hatred."

Xu Wanning received this slap, pushed Li Xian and cursed: "Are you crazy? Do you really think I poisoned that Gong Ji?"

Li Xian waved his hands, and replied decisively: "At this point, the relationship between you and me as husband and wife is over, let's make up now."
