Started to get rich after exile

The other cuckoo nodded, "A person talking to the bird alone, strangled the thrush with one hand while talking, and said 'I want to go down with you', it's too scary!"

Ming Lanying comforted the two cuckoos, and went to Ye Juelu curiously, "Why is Prince Heng so obsessed with the thrush? Does the thrush stay with you every day?"

Ye Juelu was taken aback, "What do you know?"

Seeing his reaction, Ming Lanying guessed that it really had something to do with the thrush, and told him what the cuckoo had said. Ye Juelv scratched his head. He didn't know much about it, but he had heard about it.

"In the past, Princess Heng loved thrush birds. Later, Princess Heng didn't survive the delivery, and she died twice. Prince Heng kept raising thrushes all the time as a way of expressing love."

Ming Lanying was surprised, "The old concubine Hengqin? Then he should still love his concubine?"

Ye Juelu nodded, "The childhood sweethearts were in love with each other, but it's a pity that Princess Heng died twice later. The queen knows more about what happened back then."

He only knew a rough idea of ​​what happened in the early years, and he focused more on dealing with the wolves, tigers and leopards of the previous dynasty to protect the emperor and assist the emperor to pave the way for him.

The gossip about the old things, Ming Lanying's interest came, she dragged Ye Juelu and Ning'er into the palace to find the queen, He Bai recently focused on strengthening martial arts, and whenever she had time, she would go to Tai Qi to learn from each other, often seeing no one, Ming Lanying didn't take her with her either.

When He Bai returned excitedly and found that there was no one in the mansion, Steward Wang told her that everyone carried her into the palace to play, He Bai could only curse and sulk.

Although Ye Juelu accompanied her into the palace to play, but he also had something to do for the emperor. He sent the couple to the official road, watched the little palace maid lead them away, and then turned to go to the imperial study.

The rebellion of the Ming family and Prince Heng failed, and there is still a lot of mess to be cleaned up in the previous dynasty. The rebels in the capital were exiled and beheaded one by one, and all the messy things went up one by one. The emperor was so busy that he didn't even have time to drink. Small meeting After the grand meeting, the ministers were brought in one by one to discuss matters, hurried in with stacks of memorials and incriminations, and hurried out again.

The emperor just wanted to mention his baby son, but he didn't enter the harem for a month, and he was almost depressed to death.

When the emperor saw Ye Juelu coming, he rushed over with tears in his eyes, "Good brother! I'll wait for you to come! I'll go and see Zitong and Cong'er first, Defu will stay to help you, you go on top first."

The emperor didn't wait for Ye Juelu to reply after finishing speaking, took a sip of tea and got into the sedan chair, leaving only Ye Juelu and Defu staring at each other.

Defu smiled helplessly, and respectfully rubbed the ink and handed the brush, "Commander Ye, please, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials and several adults from Dali Siqing are still waiting."

Ye Juelu: "..."

As soon as Ming Lanying sat down, she heard the emperor's guard of honor arrived. The queen's eyes lit up, "The matter of the previous court prevented the emperor from coming to the harem for a month. Fortunately, Alu was here, so he could rest every now and then. For a moment, it's rare to come here today."

Ming Lanying took Ning'er and the queen to greet the emperor, looked at the emperor who hurriedly got off the sedan chair and trotted over, and laughed softly: "The emperor can only have such an impatient side in his mother's eyes."

In the eyes of outsiders, the emperor is a good emperor who is indomitable, and his majesty is awe-inspiring, but to the empress, he is a good husband who is busy with many things.

The queen smiled, "The friendship of my childhood sweetheart for many years, if it weren't for him, I wouldn't have married."

The emperor came in a hurry just to see the empress and the little prince, Ming Lanying tactfully took Ning'er to the side hall to wait.

Almost 39 wild beasts were sent in before. After that night of chaotic fighting, many of them were damaged. [-] of them died, and most of the rest were seriously injured. The emperor cured most of them. In the palace, there is a Linghan hall dedicated to raising birds and beasts, and there can also be a place dedicated to raising wild animals.

But the wild beasts didn't want to stay in the human place after completing their tasks, clamoring to go back to the forest, clamoring for Ming Lanying to support their offspring, of course, others couldn't understand this sentence.

The wild beasts were uneasy in Changle Palace every day, so the emperor had to ask someone to send them back. The battle of sending them back was seen by the people, and they spread rumors about the fire in the harem, the assassination of the queen, and the rebellion of Prince Heng. After a process, someone knelt down and shouted reverently, "Thank you God for your blessing!"

The emperor directly asked people to tell the truth in secret. The gods bless the queen and the little prince. Even if the heavens send auspiciousness to the world, the queen's reputation will not be lower than that of the emperor.

The emperor only stayed for a quarter of an hour before leaving in a hurry, the empress hurriedly asked her to come and talk, and asked Liuyu to take Ning'er to the side hall to see the little prince.

Ming Lanying discovered that the emperor and the empress were childhood sweethearts, and Prince Heng and the former Princess Heng were also childhood sweethearts, and the relationship inside was quite long.

The queen was taken aback when she heard about the late Prince Heng, and then said with nostalgia, "It's also a coincidence that although Prince Heng is the emperor's uncle, he is about the same age as us, but he is a generation behind. , only got married two years before us, and when the former Princess Heng was in her boudoir, she didn't like to play with us very much, and the relationship with the young ladies of our family was faint, and I only saw her in front of Prince Heng occasionally. Smile the most genuinely."

Ming Lanying held a bowl of melons and fruits to listen to the gossip, the queen shook her head and laughed when she saw her curious face, and patiently talked about the past.

"Speaking of which, the former Princess Heng is a wonderful person. Her family background is not the most prominent, but she is the most dazzling among the ladies of the family. She is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and the song Luoyan Dance is amazing. She is also proficient in the six arts of a gentleman. Although her temperament is cold, she is also straightforward. Whenever I see her, she is alone, always with a thrush by her side, and we often sigh that she really likes thrushes.”

The queen nodded her suddenly, "The way she raises thrushes is very similar to when you were controlling beasts, as if you can understand their words, and her thrushes also have a tacit understanding with her."

Ming Lanying repeatedly shook her head and denied that she knew how to control beasts, "Your Majesty, don't laugh at my wife. How can my wife know how to control beasts? She just uses cruel methods to scare them. At best, my wife is just taming animals."

No one in this world knows how to master beasts, and there is no such profession as a beast master. Being able to control birds and beasts is regarded as witchcraft by others, and if it is exposed, it will be burned to death.

Taming beasts makes sense, taming wild beasts by cruel means is the same as training dogs, beast taming and beast taming are two different things.

"The minister thinks that she can have a good heart with the thrush, so she should be a kind person."

Ming Lanying thinks that people who like small animals and are attracted to them are generally not bad people.

The queen didn't emphasize the matter of beast control again, "she is indeed so. Speaking of the matter between her and Prince Heng, it was the thrush that led the way. I was lucky enough to meet it. When she was young, she went up a tree to save a bird that had just broken its shell. The thrush that was on the verge of falling, the tree was not far from the palace at that time, when it almost fell, it was caught by Prince Heng at that time, and the two became acquainted at that time, for nine years."

Ming Lanying was overjoyed, there was no one else in this fateful encounter, "When I was young, I was a hero to save the beauty!"

The queen also nodded with a smile, "That's right, it's a pity that the fate is not good. The late emperor specially showed someone to look at it. It was an excellent fetus, but there was an accident. One dead body and two lives at a young age, alas..."

The Queen has no ill will towards the former Concubine Heng, which proves that the former Concubine Heng is not bad. If she is still alive, she should not let Prince Heng become like this.

The queen looked at her with a smile on her face, as if she knew what she was thinking, "If she was still alive, Prince Heng would not rebel. Even if the rebellion happened, he would be criticized by others. Prince Heng would not let her be the target of public criticism... …Having a loved one is like having constraints, having concerns.”

Ming Lanying sighed and shook her head, "It's a pity."

Prince Heng should have tried his best to take care of her, but his beloved still left, so he decided to do something big, such as rebellion, in frustration.

However, the current Princess Heng, Ming Lishu, is not very good. It cannot be said that she is not proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. The most outstanding thing is her appearance and ambition. She has no similarities with the former Princess Heng. use.

As the past begins, it will continue to come to mind. Although the queen has not had much contact with the former Princess Heng, they are both royal daughter-in-laws, and they have met once or twice.

"At the palace banquet, I saw how she looked when she was pregnant. She was very tired and very thin, but her belly was unexpectedly big." The queen frowned slightly, "I saw Liuyu from a distance beside me at that time, What did you say?"

It's been too long, and the queen couldn't remember what Liuyu said at that time, so she asked someone to call Liuyu and ask.

Liuyu has been with her since she was a child and is familiar with pharmacology and medical skills. She manages the big and small things around her, and her memory is naturally good.

"What did the former Princess Heng look like when she was pregnant?" Liuyu wondered why the topic of the two was the former Princess Heng, "The former Princess Heng participated in the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet when she was seven months pregnant. I'm also surprised that the former Princess Heng is much thinner."

Liuyu paused for a moment, and thought about it carefully. She heard about the birth of Princess Heng from the Wenpossesses when she was asking for medical advice.

"The maidservant saw her overly large pregnant belly, and told the empress, 'This large pregnant belly is a burden and danger for the mother'. As a result, when the former Princess Heng gave birth a few months later, because the fetus was too large, it was difficult to give birth. , The servant girl heard that Mrs. Wen tried all kinds of methods but couldn't give birth, and the former Princess Heng's blood deficiency was almost too weak, so she had to protect the Lord, but... the former Princess Heng didn't make it through. "

It sounds like just a few words, but the cruelty in it is beyond the comprehension of outsiders.

The only way to preserve the size is to smash or cut the fetus in the abdomen, and then pull it out one by one. Even if there are pain-relieving medicines prescribed by an imperial physician who is proficient in medicine, it will not be able to overcome the pain in the body. The former Princess Heng is bleeding alive. dead.

Ming Lanying was stunned, and suddenly felt that it was not unreasonable for Prince Heng to go crazy with the thrush now. The person he loved gave birth to her child, but died of dystocia. deeper.

When the one he loves is gone, he goes to rebel to start a career, but the rebellion fails, and he can't keep or get what he wants.

The queen remembered that she had seen Prince Heng and the former Prince Heng at the palace banquet when they were in love. Compared with Prince Heng who is now in rebellion and will be exiled in the next year, this feeling of witnessing a person's rise and fall , the mood is very complicated.

The queen turned the emerald beads in her hands, "It's the fate of each person's choice, and there is no one to blame."

Ming Lanying finished listening to the slightly heavy gossip, and also shared the fun about Hebai with the queen, making the queen hesitate, and the laughter never stopped.

Ye Juelu was still helping the emperor clean up the mess, Ming Lanying took Ning'er out of the palace first, but was stopped by the guards guarding outside Prince Heng's mansion on the way.

"Princess Heng, please tell Madam Commander."

Ming Lanying didn't expect Ming Lishu to have something to say to her, "Let her say what she has to say."

"She was crying and must see Madam, as a sister." The imperial guard hesitated for a moment, "... seems a little crazy?"

Ning'er looked up at Ming Lanying, "Mother, could this be a trick?"

Ming Lanying rubbed his little head and asked, "How crazy?"

"The subordinates can't tell clearly, and they seem to be grasping at straws."

Ming Lanying lowered her eyebrows and thought for a moment, "Then go and have a look."

"Yes."

Ning'er frowned and disapproved, "Mother, I think it's a fraud."

"Really? Ning'er is really smart, and my mother also thinks it's a fraud, but she still wants to see what other tricks she can play, and then kill her when she is able."

But this time Ming Lishu really didn't want to play tricks, she just wanted to save her own life.

One month after the entire Ming family was executed, Prince Heng ate and slept as usual, and went to the study for a long time, as if nothing had happened.

But the attitude towards Ming Lishu has changed, gradually turning a blind eye.

Ming Lishu was not reconciled, so she often went to Prince Heng's side, comforting and persuading him, trying to get him to cheer up and plan again.

Once a servant dug out a jar of wine from under a tree, Ming Lishu took the wine to comfort Prince Heng, but Prince Heng was stunned for a moment when he saw the wine, and slapped Ming Lishu twice with red eyes.

Ming Lishu was stunned by the beating. Before she could react, she heard Prince Heng angrily scolded her for daring to touch the jar of wine. Afterwards, she went crazy and asked someone to take a soft whip to destroy her face completely, and she was not given any treatment. Get her locked up in the house.

Ming Lishu was dumbfounded. Although Prince Heng had never touched her, he had always respected her like a guest and had never been violent to her. This time, he lost his temper because he dug a jar of wine, and stared at her with fierce eyes, as if to kill her It looks like it's skinned alive and cramped!
The pain and warm blood on her face scared her, she tried her best and even begged a Imperial Guard to invite Ming Lanying to her. No one in the whole capital could save her, only Ming Lanying could.

Now Princess Heng still has the same treatment as Princess Heng, so the imperial guards had no choice but to invite someone here.

Ming Lanying sent Ning'er back on the way first, and then went to Prince Heng's mansion. This time, the imperial guards didn't dare to let the two of them be alone, and let them talk in the open tea room. From a distance, he was watching closely to protect the safety of Ming Lanying.

Ming Lishu sat hunched in an armchair, with a double-layer veil covering most of her face, but Ming Lanying still found red and swollen red marks from the uncovered places.

Ming Lishu looked up at her, then smiled hoarsely, "You're here."

Ming Lanying didn't think about sitting down, but stood there with her arms folded, looking at her calmly, "What else do you want to say?"

Ming Lishu slowly shook her head, "I thought that one day I would truly become his woman...but yesterday, I found out that I was wrong, it was so wrong!"

Ming Lanying raised her eyebrows lazily, not interested in listening to her nonsense, when she turned around, Ming Lishu suddenly said: "Do you know how the former Princess Heng died?"

Ming Lanying paused, she just finished asking the queen today, and she is not interested in this question now.

Seeing that she was about to leave, Ming Lishu hurriedly got up and shouted: "She didn't die in childbirth, she was poisoned by Ming Zhaofeng!"

Ming Lanying: "?"

When Princess Heng got married back then, Ming Lishu didn't seem to be ready yet, right?

Seeing her stop, Ming Lishu quickly explained the matter, "Ming Zhaofeng had long planned to let me replace Princess Heng. There are not many princes left by the late emperor, only Prince Heng is the most popular. The first emperor's favorite is also the most suitable. Whether Prince Heng rebelled or not, the position of Princess Heng can also bring a lot of convenience to the Ming family. The former Princess Heng was cold-tempered and not easy to get close to. She did not do anything from time to time, and directly administered chronic poison, which made her die of dystocia."

Ming Lanying was stunned for a long time and didn't come back to her senses. Ming Lishu just wanted to explain the matter clearly and get rid of the relationship. She was just a pawn being used. She wanted Ming Lanying to save her life for the sake of being a pawn. .

"When she gave birth, the imperial doctor prescribed no midwifery or pain-relieving medicines, but medicines for promoting blood circulation and dredging collaterals." Because of her emotional excitement, the wound on her face felt a little painful, but Ming Lishu continued: "I don't want to, either. Ming Zhaofeng forced you to step on other people's bones. Now I understand it. I want to reconcile. Please intercede with the emperor. Since we are all sisters of the same branch, I will kneel down. I beg you!"

After Ming Lishu finished speaking, she knelt down towards Ming Lanying. Compared with the unstable Prince Heng, kneeling down to beg Ming Lanying was a trivial matter.

When Ming Lanying turned around and saw her half-short body, she hurriedly took two steps to the side, she was afraid that her life would be shortened.

Ming Lanying looked at her with a complicated expression, "Do you think it's useful to ask me?"

Ming Lishu hurriedly took two steps towards her knee, "It's useful! You go back and talk to Ye Juelu, and let him say a few words to the emperor. Your two words can save my sister's life! Sister, we are real sisters." ah!"

"Hey hey!" Ming Lanying stepped back again and again, "You can't talk nonsense. My mother only gave birth to me and was killed by Ming Zhengqing. I don't have any brothers or sisters."

Ming Lishu still wanted to speak, but Ming Lanying interrupted directly, "To tell you the truth, it's useless for you to beg me. I'm just a weak and unable to take care of myself. I'm an abandoned child who was pushed into the fire pit by you. You are a pawn, and I am a pawn." Abandoned, our identities are still different."

"If you don't help me, I will be beaten to death by him! He will skin me and bleed me! You can't do nothing!"

Ming Lanying raised her brows with joy when she heard this, "Aren't you in love with him? Why are you still afraid that he will peel your skin and drain your blood? You love her."

Ming Lishu shook her head frantically, the veil on her face shook, Ming Lanying saw the criss-cross traces under the veil, Ming Lishu's face was really ruined.

"I thought that as long as I was willing to stay with him all the time, I could..."

Ming Lanying smiled casually, "You guys have planned to get this position, how can you just give up if you just give up? My sister should enjoy the treatment of Princess Heng."

After speaking, in Ming Lishu's astonished eyes, she strode out of the palace.

The Imperial Guards escorted her out, and before Ming Lanying left, she asked one of the Imperial Guards to tell Prince Heng, "Tell him the cause of the death of the former Prince Heng, and tell your commander what he wants. "

The Guards nodded.

It's broken, don't watch it with your brain!
