Don't help me, I can sit up by myself

Chapter 177 The wings are hardened

Of course, Du Jiyan didn't want to change his career to be an imperial doctor, but to change his career to a detective.

"The emperor's first son died tragically. Who knew it was not God's punishment." The Queen Mother sighed: "If the emperor doesn't issue an edict to sin, how can he stop Youyou's mouth? If God is angry, the emperor's future children will also be worried."

"Don't worry, Queen Mother. After all, this child may not be mine."

"You" the Queen Mother almost crushed the prayer beads: "Your Majesty, what are you talking nonsense about? How can the daughter of our Wei family be that kind of person?"

"I didn't say that the daughter of the Wei family was unfaithful, but this child may have nothing to do with the Wei family."

Queen mother

A ball of wool in my mind.

I thought about it, I thought about it, but I still don’t understand.

"Queen Mother, the Emperor should have reason for saying this." Gao Rang tried to persuade him.

If the Queen Mother can't touch the Emperor, can't she also touch Gao Rang?

He immediately ordered Aunt Guan to slap Gao Rang twice.

Gao Rang stood aside with a swollen face and did not dare to say a word.

Just aggrieved.

He was also afraid that Du Jiyan would say something outrageous again, so he could only stroke his face and persuade him: "Your Majesty, it's time to go back. It's time for the Queen Mother to rest."

After coming out of Cining Palace, Du Jiyan decided to ask the two midwives to question him.

The two midwives were about to leave the palace with their bundles, but they were carried to the Palace of Supreme Harmony by the young eunuch.

The palace is majestic, and on the long steps, the legs of the two midwives are going weak.

Du Zhanyan was wearing a bright yellow embroidered dragon robe, coral red pearls around his neck, and a brown golden dragon sachet hanging on his waist. He was sitting on a nanmu chair and stared straight at the two people.

Before the two came to Taihe Palace, Du Jiyan had asked Gao Rang to find out their details. One was the Kong family and the other was the Hu family. The two of them had some skills in midwifery and were well-known in the capital. Especially after they delivered babies to the Queen Mother, their worth has increased even more. In recent years, women in the capital are very willing to let them deliver babies.

The midwife hurriedly knelt down, panicking, and spread out the baggage. Inside were two jade bracelets, three gold hairpins, two silver hairpins, a vase, a necklace of southern pearls, and two gold and silver ingots. six.

So rich.

"You have done a good job in delivering the baby. I originally wanted to give you some reward, but I didn't expect you to have already received it." Du Jiyan fiddled with the brush in his hand, and the brush dripped moist cinnabar, like human blood.

Gao Rang said sternly: "These are all things in the palace. How can you have them? Did you enter the palace to steal things under the pretext of delivering babies?"

The two nuns looked at each other.

"This slave did not steal, these were all rewarded by the Empress of Jingren Palace."

"Yes, no matter how brave I am, I will not dare to steal things from the palace. These are all rewards from Jingren Palace."

"Speak clearly." Gao Rang shook his fly whisk: "Every word you say can be verified by the emperor. If there is any untruth, he will first see how many lives you have."

The two nuns looked at each other.

"Back to the emperor, this is what the concubine of the Wei Dynasty rewarded to the slave, saying that it was due to the slave's contribution to delivering the baby."

"If your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can ask Concubine Wei. The silver in the bag was a reward from Concubine Wei."

They helped the queen deliver a dead baby, and the queen also rewarded them with money. The queen was really kind.

When Wei concubine gave birth to a daughter, she was given so many jewelry, gold and silver, which was abnormal.

"Some people say that you had a close relationship with the concubine Wei before you delivered the queen's baby." Du Jiyan decided to deceive the two of them.

Mammy didn't panic, after all, she had delivered the Queen Mother's baby back then, so they both had some qualifications and some courage.

"Your Majesty, when you enter Jingren Palace, your slaves will treat you the same way as the ladies. If you say they have a close relationship, it is with the Queen."

"Yes, the Queen is the mother of the country in the middle palace, so the servants are more attentive to the Queen."

Ha ha.

He has a close relationship with the Queen.

Bullying honest people.

These two women couldn't see the coffin without crying.

Du Jiyan used a B-ultrasound machine to detect that the queen was pregnant with a daughter. After these two men delivered the baby, the queen's daughter was gone and turned into a dead baby boy.

Du Jiyan believed that the B-ultrasound machine couldn't lie, but these two guys could.

From then on, he became more thoughtful and asked Gao Rang to take the dead baby back to Taihe Palace.

Now that baby is still lying in swaddling clothes.

The cold baby was placed on the desk.

Pale and slightly bruised little face.

Lying there obediently, lifeless.

"Do you still know this child?"

Du Jiyan asked Gao Rang to hold the child to them.

Kong said stubbornly: "No, no. I know you."

Hu quickly made amends: "Isn't this the prince born to the Queen? He was delivered by a slave."

Gao Rang directly pushed the child into his mother-in-law's arms.

Mr. Shi trembled in fright: "Don't look for me, don't look for me."

The baby in swaddling clothes was like a hot potato, and the two women refused to pick it up.

"Gao Rang, take the child behind the screen."

After Gao Rang put the child back on the screen, he bowed and brought Du Jiyan a cup of tea.

Green tea soup swayed in the eight-treasure tea bowl.

A baby's cry suddenly came from behind the screen. It was the cry of a baby boy.

"You two have killed me, why don't you take your life?"

The mother-in-law trembled.

"I finally reincarnated, but I died in the hands of you two. I want you to pay with your lives now."

Du Jiyan drank tea leisurely.

Gao Rang took a whisk and stood aside respectfully.

The mother-in-law was in a state of confusion, why did they hear the baby boy's cry? Could it be that the baby boy is really asking for his life?

The two couldn't help but look around.

Du Jiyan put down the tea cup, stood up and patted the table.

The sound was so loud that the people serving in Taihe Palace fell silent.

"I have already let people from Qintian Prison read it, and they said that the queen's pregnancy will benefit the country and the people, and will ensure that the Chen Kingdom will be safe for a hundred years. For the sake of the queen's pregnancy, I do not dare to neglect it at all. Who knows how good it will be? The child died in the hands of you two old women. Tell me, who strangled the child to death."

Kong and Hu were stunned.

I thought I would just run away with my baggage, but who would have thought that I would be caught again when I ran to the palace gate. The little emperor, who was not a man of martial ethics, actually blamed the dead baby on them.

You two look at me and I look at you.

"Gao Rang, what is your crime for murdering the emperor's heir?"

"When you return to the emperor, according to law, you should be executed immediately."

"Very good. Since these two people have murdered the emperor's heir, they should be executed immediately. Bring a rope and strangle them directly to comfort the little prince's spirit in heaven."

Gao Rang reacted quickly and took out the hemp rope from his arms and tied it around the necks of Kong and Hu.

As the hemp rope tightened, Kong was so frightened that he peed his pants.

With her excellent midwifery skills, she has been nourished outside the palace these years. When a person lives a nourished life, he cherishes his life. She doesn't want to die.

"Your Majesty, this servant has been wronged." Kong kowtowed: "Mother Hu, if you speak, we will be strangled to death."

Aunt Hu held her neck high and remained silent.

"Strangle to death." Du Jiyan slapped the table again.

Kong crawled to Du Jiyan's feet and sobbed: "Your Majesty, I am willing to confess. I have something to say."

Gao Rang loosened the rope in his hand, and Mrs. Kong fell on the ground and said, "Slave Kong, Mrs. Hu, and I were the midwives outside. A month ago, someone gave us a piece of gold to let us into the palace. After entering the palace, I found out that I was delivering a baby for the Queen Mother. I thought it would be like delivering a baby for the Queen Mother, but unexpectedly"

"Unexpectedly, after we entered the palace, the man told us that we were going to deliver the baby to the Empress, but the baby she gave birth to was to be given to her as hers, and the slaves were asked to bring a dead baby from outside the palace. When the time comes, let’s say that the Queen has given birth to a stillborn baby.”

Seeing Mrs. Kong's confession, Mrs. Hu also lowered her head: "The slaves live a respectable life outside the palace. With their skills in delivering babies, they don't have to worry about food and clothing. Although the man gave him gold, we don't want to do anything harmful to nature." Not to mention the exchange of children born to the queen, the slaves were also afraid that their lives would be lost. But the man said, since we have found us, we can only do as she asked, otherwise, we will offend her, and the slaves will not only If we can’t survive in the capital, our whole family’s lives will be at risk.”

"Who is that person?"

"It's the concubine of Jingren Palace."

Wei concubine.

An old acquaintance.

Although Du Jiyan didn't have a good impression of Wei Concubine, he didn't really dislike her.

The two of them probably wouldn't try to flirt with Concubine Wei casually.

After all, Wei Concubine is the daughter of the Wei family, and they will know the consequences of trying to interfere with Wei Concubine.

What's more, the biggest beneficiary of this incident is Wei Bin.

Du Jiyan said calmly: "Do you know what will happen if you frame a concubine?"

"If I falsely accuse a concubine of Wei, I am willing to face the death penalty."

"Where did you get that dead baby?"

Mrs. Kong shed tears: "What a sin, that is a baby boy. We asked the dealer to buy it for ten taels of silver. We wanted to buy a dead baby, but unexpectedly it was still alive when we brought it over. I couldn't bear it. I wrapped the child tightly and carried it to Concubine Wei. Unexpectedly, the child kept crying, so Concubine Wei ordered her slaves to suffocate the child to death."

"The slaves couldn't be cruel, so Empress Wei soaked her handkerchief, put it on the child's face, and suffocated the child to death. In fact, Empress Wei was not pregnant at all, she was just afraid that the emperor would know that she was pregnant. She is pregnant, so she wants to take away the Queen’s child.”

"What you said doesn't make sense. It's obvious that you're making it up." Du Jiyan snorted.

"Your Majesty, this servant never tells a lie."

"Since you said that Mrs. Wei is infertile, then why did she suffocate to death the child you brought from outside the palace? Isn't it wrong to regard it as her own child? Besides, it is still a prince."

"Concubine Wei said that if the Queen knew that she was holding a baby boy and pretending to be your child, the Queen might expose her. After all, disrupting the royal bloodline is a big deal."

The two of them almost broke their heads: "Your Majesty, I am not greedy. It's just that the concubine Wei insists on me to do these things. I have to do it for the sake of the whole family."

well.

The idea came from Wei Concubine.

The child was killed by Wei concubine.

The law of heaven is clear.

Du Jiyan didn't want to know why Concubine Wei had no children.

But she ignored her children and replaced them with the queen's children. Her concubine might not be preserved.

When Gao Rang saw that Du Jiyan was going out to do justice for heaven, he thoughtfully put on her coat and scolded the two nuns, asking them to follow him.

The sky outside the curtain is high.

A group of northern swallows flapped their wings and rushed into the sky.

The bright sunlight made Du Jiyan's eyes light up.

"You're not allowed to go."

It was the Queen Mother's voice.

At some point, the Queen Mother came to the outside of Taihe Palace on crutches.

The Queen Mother heard clearly what Kong and Hu said.

At first, the Queen Mother felt that Kong and Hu were talking nonsense. Concubine Wei was so gentle, obedient and well-behaved. When she was at home, she hardly paid attention to what was going on outside the window except playing the piano and composing music.

How could ordinary people be worthy of such a talented woman? Naturally, she wanted to enter the palace and become a concubine.

How could it be possible that the dirty things Kong and Hu said were done by Concubine Wei.

But the further I listened, the more chills I felt down my spine.

The Queen Mother has been in the palace for many years, and she knows exactly what the women in the palace are capable of.

Moreover, the biggest beneficiary of this matter is obviously Wei Bin.

Who else would do these things but her?

The Queen Mother felt that her mind was in chaos, and the obedient appearance of Concubine Wei when she first entered the palace was still in front of her. She was eager to stop Du Jiyan who was going to Jingren Palace, and all the beads in her hand fell to the ground: "Your Majesty, this matter should not be rushed. "

"The Queen Mother, Concubine Wei killed people. If we change the princess, will the Queen Mother also tolerate her?"

"If there are a hundred others who do this kind of thing, the emperor will kill a hundred of them, and the Ai family will not care about it. But Wei Concubine is different. She is the daughter of the Wei family. If such a person comes out of the Wei family, what will happen in the future?" How can you gain a foothold in the court? The Emperor cannot do without the support of the Wei family. Your Majesty, your wings are not yet full, so you must not act on your own initiative."

"Then what does the Queen Mother think should be done?"

The Queen Mother silently looked at the two midwives in front of her.

The midwife shrank her head like a quail.

The Queen Mother stared at them for a while and sighed again.

"In this case, we can only deal with these two insiders. If we deal with these two midwives, we will silence them. Of course, we will not let them die in vain. Each of them will be rewarded with five hundred taels of silver." Let their family take care of the posthumous matters and let this matter be over. Anyway, the royal bloodline is not confused."

The midwife was cursing in her heart.

Sure enough, she is the daughter of the Wei family.

The Queen Mother became ruthless, just like the concubine Wei.

In order to protect the concubines and the honor of the family, the Queen Mother actually wanted to kill them both.

Du Jiyan looked up at the dazzling sunlight.

The sun is so clean.

It seems clean without any impurities.

The sun shrouded her in the eyes, her long eyelashes flashed, and then she looked at the mountains and clouds in front of her and said leisurely: "Your Majesty, my wings are already full."

"you--"

"My son is no longer a child and can distinguish right from wrong. Moreover, even if I am still a child, when I sit on the throne, I have to distinguish right from wrong."

"you--"

"Queen Mother, take advantage of your good years to go to the Imperial Garden. The flowers there are about to stop blooming. In winter, there won't be such a beautiful scenery." Du Jiyan walked down the steps and went straight to Jingren Palace. Go in the direction.

The Queen Mother stood outside the Taihe Palace, looking at Du Jiyan's decisive background, and let out a long sigh.

She has been in the harem for many years and has always followed the emperor's wishes. She is not Lu Pheasant or Wu Zetian, and she has never thought of being above the emperor.

This time it involved Wei Concubine and the Wei family, so she had to say those things that were against her will.

Apparently the emperor didn't even notice the punctuation.

"Queen Mother, the Emperor's wings are indeed stiff." Aunt Guan supported the Queen Mother's arm.

"If he complies with the Ai family's wishes and kills the two midwives, how is that any different from a foolish emperor? She disobeys the Ai family's wishes and probably wants to be dealt with impartially. Although such an emperor is not a blessing to the Wei family , but it is a blessing for the people."
