Fair Lady

As soon as she returned to the mansion, Shuyao heard about the farce of the Zhen family in Murong Mansion.

In fact, according to Aunt Dong's words, now everyone in the capital knows about it.Just stop by any group of people on the street, and you're guaranteed to hear them describing vividly and vividly how the people from Zhen's family carried two coffins into Murong's mansion, or the second master of the Zhen family was alone by the river in a daze. Go, the result is the thrill of being almost killed by a carriage.

Two coffins?Shuyao was stunned, who died in the Zhen residence?

Mother Liu also shook her head, and immediately went out to ask someone to inquire.

That night, Jin Xida didn't go home for dinner, until everyone had finished eating, and then saw Jin Xida come back with an angry expression on his face.

Shuwen has sharp eyes: "Father, who made you angry?" Isn't it a happy thing that my sister was named the princess of Fuxing today?

The old lady, Shujie and the others also looked over with concern. On weekdays, no matter what he was doing outside or what happened, Jin Xida usually would not bring back bad emotions. What happened today?Was scolded by the emperor?

Jin Xida didn't hide it either: "It didn't offend me, it's just that I've never seen someone who is not as good as a beast." Jin Xida asked himself, even for the father who once wanted to take his heart and soul, he couldn't be so inhumane. thing to come.

Today, someone went to the Yin Yamen of the capital to submit an unsigned pleading paper, suing Murong Ziye for poisoning his father's body, saying that Murong Shangshu had died four months ago, and that if the Yamen didn't send the imperial physician quickly After inspection, Murong Shangshu's body will turn into a puddle of blood within three days.

The governor of Kyoto had never heard of this poison called "gouhuo", but he still didn't dare to neglect it.Hurry up and report it to the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment. If this kind of appalling thing is concealed without authorization, once it is revealed and verified by someone, he, the Governor of Kyoto, will definitely do it.In particular, the secret letter also stated that the contents of this letter had been copied and scattered on the street.

The Minister of the Ministry of Justice and the Yin of the Kyoto Prefecture hurried into the palace to meet the saint and asked for the support of the imperial physician. At the gate of the palace, they also met two censors who found a letter on the street and rushed into the palace to ask to see the emperor.Yu Shi has always been more active than anyone else in such matters.Lord Fu Yin secretly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, fortunately he didn't hesitate for too long.

at that time.Jin Xida happened to be talking with the emperor in the imperial study, and the emperor directly asked him to take two imperial physicians who are good at distinguishing poisons, and go to Murong Mansion with the governor of Kyoto to investigate.

When Jin Xida and his party arrived at Murong Mansion, Concubine Li and Murong Ziye naturally refused to let the imperial physician "disturb" Murong Shangshu, only saying that the cause of death had been found out.

Jin Xida said coolly: "The emperor said that the Murong family has been officials for three generations. They have done a lot of things for the court. In memory of Mr. Murong, a glazed coffin is specially given to him. He will stay for three days so that fellow officials can come here in turn. For the memorial ceremony, the emperor will personally come to Murong Mansion to pay homage on the third day. The glazed coffin will be delivered early tomorrow morning." That is to say.Three days later, Murong Ziye was able to carry the coffin back to his hometown.It was still a transparent glass coffin.

Mrs. Murong hadn't had time to rejoice over such a great honor. With a "plop", Murong Ziye sat on the ground, her whole body trembling uncontrollably...

When Jin Xida left the palace after his return, he saw Concubine Li's carriage returning to the palace.

Nangongmiao exclaimed, "Is this still a human?"

Mrs. Jin also kept chanting "Amitabha".

Shuyao looked at Mother Liu in surprise, so fast?Didn't Mother Liu just send out a signal to let people spread "gossip"?She thought it would be around noon tomorrow at the earliest before there would be any movement.

Mother Liu shook her head lightly, she was very sure.It wasn't her people doing it.Obviously, there are still people watching Murong Mansion.

at this time.In the imperial study room of the palace, the emperor looked at Concubine Li who was kneeling on the ground and crying, with an unfathomable "deep meaning" on his face.

When Concubine Li couldn't bear it any longer, the emperor sighed softly: "Since you came back early, just get sick, and don't leave Jujiu Palace again."

Concubine Li's sobs stopped abruptly, she opened her mouth, and closed it again when she saw the emperor's eyes that seemed to be able to see everything, which was clearly disgusted at the moment.She thought of the "inexplicable" question of the emperor before leaving the palace today, and her heart became more and more empty, but her head became clearer.

After thinking about everything, Concubine Li was very glad that the emperor just restrained her feet.She believed that if it weren't for the pair of children, the emperor would have let her live in the cold palace.

Sure enough, the emperor said coldly: "For the sake of Liu Yatou and Xiao Jiu, it is better for you to stay in Jujiu Palace and read more scriptures, at least you can have peace of mind. From now on, you can see them once every fifteenth day, At other times, let’s recite scriptures and reflect.” After speaking, he threw a piece of paper over: “Go back and copy it yourself.” He really didn’t want to see this woman again for a moment.

Concubine Li picked it up awkwardly and saw that it was a statement to sever ties with Murong Ziye.

……

When Concubine Li was sent back to Jujiu Palace, the emperor let out a long sigh and closed his eyes.In the end, it was up to him to decide the outcome of this drama.The emperor admired himself very much for having the patience to play with these people to the end.

The corner of the emperor's mouth raised a sneer, Murong Shangshu planned his whole life, so why did he come here?The king and his ministers, perhaps Murong Shangshu should thank him, the monarch, for punishing his unfilial and unrighteous sons and daughters.

Ever since Prince Ning (Eldest Prince) brought the Ninth Prince to ask Shujie for a "panacea" in front of the Emperor, "You Ming" has been eyeing the Murong Mansion, and Murong Ziye has been busy making various preparations all day long. Little did he know that there was a pair of eyes staring at him all the time.

When the emperor saw You Ming's report and knew that King Ning had brought "gouhuo" to Murong Ziye, he sneered again and again. This is his son and his courtiers. For the sake of profit, human relations and natural principles were ignored, and loyalty and filial piety were all left behind.

The emperor said quietly at the time: "For his ambition, if given the opportunity, he would be very happy to use 'gouhuo' on me, right?"

The only "audience" Da Fuzi was so frightened that he quickly knelt down: "There are gods who protect the Holy Spirit..."

In the past few months, the emperor has been watching the "big drama" with cold eyes, waiting to see how Murong Mansion will sing the ending.Therefore, when Concubine Li got the palace card from the empress and appeared in front of him to bid farewell with red and swollen eyes and infinite sadness, he did not arouse his pity at all.

At that time, he just asked quietly: "Are you going now? Will it be a little late?"

How could Concubine Li think of the "deep meaning" in the emperor's words?He could only reply in a daze: "After all, the concubine is a concubine in the harem. The doctor was sure that the father could not be rescued, so he notified the concubine, and hoped that the concubine could leave the palace to see my father again."

……

In the early morning of the second day, the people gathered around the door of Murong Shangshu's mansion and threw rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves ushered in the eunuch who delivered the order from the palace.

The eunuch who passed the decree first read aloud the statement written by the concubine Li herself, and clarified the relationship between the concubine Li and the "gouhuo" incident: The concubine Li was shocked to hear the truth about her father's death, and could not tolerate her brother Murong Ziye's rebellious deeds, so she made a public statement Cut off relations with Murong Mansion.

Then came the emperor's imperial decree, ordering the Murong Mansion to bury Murong Shangshu quickly.Murong Ziye was unfilial and unrighteous, his character was corrupt, he was deprived of his official position, and would never be employed. Murong Mansion was banned from being an official within three generations and could not participate in scientific examinations.

After all, Murong Ziye poisoned Murong Shangshu after his death, it was not counted as murder, and there was no crime to apply, it could only be moral punishment.

Old Madam Murong screamed, rolled her eyes, and passed out backwards.

Murong Ziye knelt quietly on the spot, expressionless, no one could see what he was thinking?Last night, he had already thought of such an ending, why should he be surprised?

Murong Ziye's younger brother and two concubine brothers refused to accept it, and shouted that they were wronged, saying that they didn't know about "living".The people from the palace sneered contemptuously: "The Murong Mansion has no separate families. As sons, you didn't even know whether your father was dead or not for several months? Are you worthy of being an official? You are worthy of being an official." ?”

The eunuch who passed the decree took off the signboard of "Shangshu Mansion", stepped on it a few times, and then walked away.

The crowd around the audience shouted that the emperor is holy, such unfilial and unrighteous people, how can they be high officials?A bastard like Murong Ziye who is not as good as an animal should kill himself and confess to his father's spirit in heaven.

Those who were filled with righteous indignation, and those who had been "bullied" by the Murong Mansion all rushed forward one after another, and trampled on the doorplate of the "Shangshu Mansion".The current Murong Mansion, like them, is a commoner.No, as long as their children work hard, they still have the chance to become an official in the imperial examination. The Murong Mansion is not as good as them.

Outside the crowd, a plain carriage quietly parked in a corner.Jia Qiaoniang, who had just rushed back from Zhuangzi early in the morning to go to the funeral, looked shocked and surprised. How could this be? Apart from Concubine Li and Murong Ziye, only Concubine Li and Murong Ziye knew about the matter of "living". How did it leak?

Jia Qiaoniang just learned that she had avenged some of her big revenge last night, and she was so happy that she didn't sleep all night, but she regretted that she didn't get the restaurant in Zhen's mansion as she wished, and also, she let the evil in Zhu's stomach escape.

Jia Qiaoniang secretly scolds Qiu Ju (Murong Zhi's personal maid) for moving too fast, which ruined her original plan.Now that Murong Zhi's chess piece is useless, and the relationship between Murong Mansion and Zhen Mansion is broken, she has to find another way to plant a poison stake in Zhen Mansion.

No matter what, she must let the Zhen family be destroyed, only in this way can the hatred in her heart be appeased.

She had been excitedly planning how to continue last night, but she never thought that while she was in high spirits, such a big event happened in Murong Mansion.

"Small people"?Fragmentary words in the crowd came from outside the carriage, and Jia Qiaoniang murmured, is she going back to a life without power?Then how can she take revenge?How will her two sons be masters in the future?

Jia Qiaoniang was still in a daze, and there was another noisy voice from outside the carriage: "Get out of the way, get out of the way, Murong Ziye, you bastard who is not as good as an animal, we married our sister because we are blind!" Yu you, sign this and leave the book quickly, and we will have nothing to do with you at home from now on." (To be continued.
