Chapter 263
Shen Jiangdong said: "This matter should not be interrogated by His Highness! The matter can be handled by Jingwei."

Siqing said angrily: "It's unreasonable for the Jingwei to judge Jingwei!"

Shen Jiangdong's mind was in turmoil, and he was a little forgetful at the moment, and he even replied directly in front of Cheng Yingzhou in the Jinwu Guard: "It's unreasonable for Her Royal Highness to stand here!"

If the two clashed face-to-face in Wu Zhai in the south of the city, Wu Zhenying would definitely say coldly, "Go out and argue, don't quarrel with me", and only Wu Zhenying dared to speak like this to Lord Empress.At this moment, no one was there to dissuade them, and the two of them lost their composure in the Jinwu Guard under Miyagi, Shen Jiangdong immediately realized that he had exceeded the rules extremely.

Si Qing's voice became very peaceful, and those who knew her well knew that the more peaceful she was, the more monstrous anger was brewing.She slowed down her tone, and even asked in a harmonious tone with the intention of asking for advice: "This is the forbidden army, and I have no right to deal with it. Do we have to wait for King Duan to come and deal with it?"

Hearing the words, Shen Jiangdong quickly took a step back and bent over to salute, Siqing shouted angrily, "Talk back!"

Shen Jiangdong hurriedly bowed and kowtowed again, repeating what he said just now: "Your Highness, please think twice."

It is rare for Siqing to get angry with Shen Jiangdong, and Shen Jiangdong is speechless.Fortunately, Siqing soon discovered that she had taken the risk to come here to question Cheng Yingzhou, but it turned out that she and Shen Jiangdong had an invalid fight with nonsense.Si Qing forced herself to calm down and motioned to Shen Jiangdong.Shen Jiangdong nodded, and Siqing replied to Cheng Yingzhou: "I don't want to use your daughter to threaten you, you should think carefully."

Even though her patience has reached its limit today, she still insists on referring to herself as "I".Cheng Yingzhou served as Jingweifan for 20 years and was well-known in the court.Xining met Siqing when he came to Beijing in 13 years. Siqing has always believed that Cheng Yingzhou must have secrets.

Cheng Yingzhou still didn't respond, Siqing slammed the door and went outside alone.

Si Qingsi and Shen Jiangdong are old friends with Cheng Yingzhou, some things might not be easy to say in front of her, so she left first, leaving Shen Jiangdong alone to talk with Cheng Yingzhou.

It took half an hour for Shen Jiangdong to come outside to see Si Qing, and Si Qing asked, "What did he say?"

Shen Jiangdong looked decadent and just shook his head.

Siqing said, "So that's the revenge of death?"

Shen Jiangdong said: "I don't understand."

"You have known each other for so many years," Siqing said, "You know him best. You can't even figure it out, but what can others do?" After she finished speaking, she sighed, feeling the pain from her old wound again, her face was as white as snow, and she reluctantly went out Board the car and return to Nannei.

Siqing's illness is half-truth and half-false, and she lives back in Liuyun Hall of Qingxi Garden, but no one is seen.As she expected, before Xiao Yi replied, there was chaos in the court, and King Duan insisted on immediately punishing Cheng Yingzhou for treason.It's a pity that Siqing was ill, and she didn't see anyone or speak, and just dragged on.

On the day when Xiao Yi's reply was sent back to the Imperial Capital, all members of the Beijing Guard, including Tang Peng, went to Nannei to see Siqing.Siqing knew that they were all here for Cheng Yingzhou, but as usual, Siqing didn't see anyone.

In the afternoon, Shen Jiangdong suddenly came to Liuyun Hall to ask for an interview, but Siqing replied that he did not see him. Yunchu was very embarrassed when he saw this, and whispered to Siqing: "The person is gone."

Siqing was shocked.

Shen Jiangdong entered the Liuyun Palace, his complexion was ashen, and he seemed to be sick.Across the plain gauze screen, Siqing was silent for a long time before asking: "What's going on?"

Shen Jiangdong said: "After the Highness went down to see him, he was worried about something and had a high fever. When the doctor came, he secretly hid the doctor's small silver knife, and then at night, taking advantage of people's unpreparedness, he quietly... discovered it It's too late."

As soon as Shen Jiangdong finished speaking, he suddenly heard a loud noise, and the huge marble desk in front of Siqing was as heavy as she was, but she overturned it.The pen, ink, paper, inkstone, incense burner and teacup on the table fell to the floor, and the blue bricks on the ground were smashed and cracked.Everyone in the palace bowed down after hearing the loud noise, only Shen Jiangdong stood still.

After a long time, Siqing's voice finally came from behind the screen, "Get ready for the funeral."

Shen Jiangdong returned home in a daze, but Jiang Feng was not in Beijing, so he had no one to sue.Recalling all the things we had when we worked together in the past, tears welled up silently.

A year ago, Cheng Yingzhou saved Gu Heng who wanted to commit suicide in front of him. A year later, he chose to end his life abruptly in the same place by suicide. This time, no one came to save him.

Shen Jiangdong didn't know how long he sat there until Fan Ziran came to see him, saying that although Taoist died, the matter was not over yet.Cheng Yingzhou has been in Jingwei for decades, he has always been modest and cautious, and has always been praised by others.Now that he was dead, the public opinion also fell to his side.He really had no reason to assassinate the queen in public.

Since Cheng Yingzhou committed suicide, he set the tone behind him by proving his innocence by himself and resisting King Duan's false accusation.It's just that why he stabbed Siqing, Fan Ziran not only couldn't figure it out, but also didn't know what Siqing was thinking.

Shen Jiangdong said: "What the empress means, he drew his sword just to prove himself by death, stabbing the empress, it was just an accidental miss."

Fan Ziran hesitated, "Can Prince Duan be willing?"

Shen Jiangdong has always been gentle, and rarely showed a fierce look, "I can't help Duan Wang."

Siqing really couldn't understand why Cheng Yingzhou chose such a path when she couldn't understand what she had said.What did he do to make his father sorry and make him feel that he had no choice but to die?With mixed feelings in her heart, she called Yunchu and said, "Go and tell King Duan that unless I die, he shouldn't use this matter to destroy Cheng Yingzhou's house and Meng Guangshi's old account. He scolded me I don't want to be a queen, I don't need to be famous, but I can't be a villain. If he insists on uncovering Meng Guangshi's old case, then let him rebel. Tell him, this is the reason for this palace. talk."

Siqing knew that Meng Guangshi had an unspeakable secret with Rencheng Empress He. The old case is tantamount to uncovering the secret of Empress Xianhe.She, the current Zhonggong, can't do such a wicked thing due to emotion and reason.

Yun Chu Nuo Nuo didn't dare to speak, at this moment a voice said: "I can't go!"

Concubine Zhou entered behind the screen, "Empress, the concubine's words, the empress forgot so quickly? What's the matter, wouldn't it be better to settle the matter after the old man Duan Wang died? The empress can't wait for just two days?"

Siqing raised her eyes, "I'm looking for my own death, aren't you happy to see it happen?"

Concubine Zhou approached Siqing, "I'm afraid, I'm afraid that if something happens to the empress, she will die, and everyone will end badly."

---

Before returning to Beijing with He Wang, Wang passed away due to illness. He shot a false shot and killed Cheng Yingzhou, who had served as the Jingwei for many years and was well-known. He did not leave his full name in the court.Prince Duan's son Xiao Yun has not yet inherited his father's throne, so when he came to see Siqing to report his funeral, he couldn't help trembling.

He swore to Siqing that he would never harm Cheng Yingzhou.

Siqing recalled what Cheng Yingzhou had said, that in the autumn of 13 Xining had let Prince Duan let him go without telling Prince Duan in Xishan.Now that Dao is one foot tall and the devil is ten feet tall, Duan Wang's son has not really deceived Duan Wang.

Siqing said to Prince Duan, "Old Eleven, you will definitely inherit the title smoothly, so there is no need to mention this matter in the future."

The only good news before returning to Beijing today is that Jiang Feng and Yuan Lingbo finally found Chen Nanfei's trace in Lanling, but unfortunately he has been silenced.He didn't die from poison, but was sealed with a sword.

Sure enough, King Xiao Jing didn't leave any room when he was alive.In the end, Jiang Feng failed to ask why Chen Nanfei killed his father, nor did he kill Chen Nanfei to avenge his father, so he settled his old grievances.

The operation of the military guard post in Shandong was coming to an end, Yuan Lingbo went south to stay in Jinling to take over as the Jiangnan Division, and Jiang Feng returned to the Imperial Capital from Lanling.

Today, before returning to Beijing, Siqing returned to Ninghua Hall from Nannei. Concubine Zhou Guifei had already returned to the forbidden center to take charge of the ceremony for the next year's ceremony.The two exchanged what they wanted in the gauze cupboard of Ninghua Palace. Siqing got the imperial edict of the Empress Dowager, and Concubine Zhou got the handwritten note written by Siqing.Afterwards, the two were still the most harmonious concubines in the country. One was dignified and generous, the other respectful and polite. They were a model that could be written into the palace motto, and even the empress dowager was deeply moved.

In a quiet late night, Siqing unfolded the will of the Empress Dowager to kill her, and read it word by word countless times. What emerged in her mind was the always smiling and kind face of the Empress Dowager when Xining was 14 years old. There was also the scene when she held her own hand and ordered Jinshang to succeed her as the queen of the palace.

She also wondered why the empress dowager who killed her daughter-in-law Empress Renkang and grandson-in-law Empress Rencheng He cared so much for her alone?Now she finally knows the answer.

Siqing couldn't tear the piece of silk, so she tore it a few times and threw it into the brazier. The silk and the empress dowager's kind smile were all burned in the fire.

(Finally filled in the hole left in "Chapter 37 Zhongjiashi", what Wang Duan touched was the imperial edict of the Empress Dowager)
Today, before Xinzheng, he brought He Wang back to the imperial capital.Because the end of the year was approaching, King Duan's funeral did not have to be extravagant.Xiao Yi went to have a drink, but didn't ask any more questions.Siqing said to Xiao Yi: "I asked Lao Cheng why he wanted to die and what he was hiding from me, but he just refused to tell."

Xiao Yi was always depressed, and he just nodded when he heard the words.

Siqing felt that Yuren'er's heart was getting colder and colder, she couldn't feel his warmth, he stopped jumping out of his cold body to talk and laugh, instead he shrank in his jade armor and became more and more cold and inviolable His Majesty.

After the feudal lord was settled, the nine kings rebelled, and the bandits were eradicated, Xiao Yi's heart seemed to have changed.

Because of the funeral of King Zong in Xinzheng, the Empress Dowager suffered a minor illness, so she did not go to Longchang Gate to watch the lanterns today.However, since Jingwei and Prince Duan's mansion ended this quarrel, the empress dowager expressed her intention to adopt Cheng Yingzhou's daughter when she was ill, and Xiao Yi publicly expressed her intention to employ Cheng Yingzhou's daughter at the Xinzheng harem banquet without any discussion with anyone. The daughter is the Crown Princess of the East Palace, and she will get married after the East Palace becomes an adult.

As the end of the year approached, Jiang Feng and Gu Heng returned to Beijing one after another. Cheng Yingzhou and his family went out to have a drink at five or seven. Qing said she was sick and didn't attend, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

Back in Jiaguo Duke's mansion, Jiang Feng drank two cups of wine and stood in the hallway outside the study to blow air. Shen Jiangdong opened the window and persuaded: "Come in, don't catch a cold."

Jiang Feng jumped in through the window and closed the window. Shen Jiangdong asked, "What's wrong with you today?"

"Miss Cheng being the Crown Princess, do you think this is a good marriage?" Jiang Feng asked.

Shen Jiangdong sighed, and Jiang Feng said: "We have been engaged since we were young, and we have a lot of ties to each other. Just like the two of us, if we have never been married since we were young, I will be a widow at the last time, but you can take someone from a good family to you to be a glorious lintel." Useful lady."

Shen Jiangdong said: "Xuan Bin, you are drunk."

Jiang Feng shook his head, "I haven't."

"Your Majesty certainly doesn't like the fact that the main concubine of the Eastern Palace is suspected of being pre-governed by her relatives," Shen Jiangdong sighed, "Miss Cheng is indeed the right candidate."

"It's not worth General Cheng's life in exchange for all of this," Jiang Feng said, "What's his reason, he was finally taken to the underworld. Those who don't want him to talk can finally rest assured for a long time. No one asked Miss Cheng if she would I don’t want to, no one asks the Crown Prince of the East Palace if he is willing or not, everything is just for the right. Only when the right person does the right thing can everyone be a gentleman, a loyal minister and a good general.”

Shen Jiangdong said: "You are really drunk."

Jiang Feng shook his head, "The queen said that she is not easy to be a queen. It can be predicted that the Crown Princess of the Eastern Palace is even more difficult to be a queen. Miss Cheng has no mother since she was a child, and she lost her father. She can't marry independently, what a pity."

Shen Jiangdong said: "Don't say this to the queen."

"I know," Jiang Feng said, "I don't need to say it at all. How could the empress not understand?"

On the seventh day of the lunar new year, there was no celebration feast in the palace. Xiao Yi went to the Yueshi Building behind Chengming Pavilion in Xiyuan to read books. Siqing found Yueshi Building to talk to him. It turned out that Lingzhen had sent a letter saying that Yu Chu had followed Siqing into the palace. Her mother was seriously ill, so Yuchu begged Siqing to leave the palace.Siqing and Xiao Yi talked for a while, Fan Ziran asked to see him for the post-war pension, Xiao Yi turned out of the screen to see him.After a while Fan Ziran left, Siqing also stepped out of the screen and said, "I'm going to the little lady."

Xiao Yi said: "I'll go there, you wait for me."

After he finished speaking, he picked up a booklet and opened it, suddenly felt that something was wrong, and saw that Siqing's complexion turned pale, and she fell limply down.Xiao Yi quickly stepped forward to support him, because Xiao Yi exclaimed, the attendants outside the hall thought it was something happened to Xiao Yi, there was a chaos in the hall, even the bachelor Du Sizhong who was on duty today came into the inner hall, but he saw Xiao Yi and Yun Chu Surrounding Siqing.When Xiao Yi saw Du Sizhong, he didn't call the imperial medical office, and whispered: "Go and find Liang Fen."

Although Du Sizhong knew about the relationship between Siqing and Fu Linchuan, he was still shocked when he heard Gu Heng and Gu Liangfen's name from Xiao Yi's mouth.Xiao Yi urged again, "Go!" and told Yunchu to go with Du Sizhong.

Du Sizhong left in a hurry, and Xiao Yi called someone from the Imperial Medical Office. Because Huang Yuan was not in Beijing and it was during the New Year's Eve, a face-to-face medical officer came first, and said Siqing was poisoned for a while, and said Siqing was for a while. I was too tired, and after a while I said it was like phlegm.Xiao Yi was impatient and ordered him to go down to draw up a prescription.When the prescription was drawn up, Xiao Yi saw that it was just an ordinary prescription for invigorating qi and nourishing the mind, and couldn't help but get angry.Siqing vomited up the decocted medicine and couldn't feed it anymore, her body was still a little hot.Xiao Yi was upset, and ordered: "Don't let Suian Palace know."

Just as he was talking, Gu Heng came in wearing a black straight-collared cloak to greet him, Xiao Yi hurriedly said, "Come and see."
