The second silly daughter-in-law who likes to cultivate the fertile fields

Chapter 1562 Finale (1)

Yang Xiuning picked up the tea cup and took a sip, and gave him a supercilious look by the way.

"Huangfu Yi refuses, isn't King Ning still waiting?"

Confused, the emperor rubbed his nose embarrassingly, even if he and Huangfu Yi were unwilling to sit on the throne, it was impossible to give the throne to King Ning.

If King Ning ascended the throne, there would be no way for their mother and son to survive, and even for the sake of his own life, he could only reluctantly guard this son.

I didn't think so at first, but since I heard Xiaoxiao's words, I really feel that being an emperor is a hard job.

It is no exaggeration to wake up earlier than chickens and sleep later than dogs.

It is said that the emperor is rich all over the world, but he often can't sleep because of money worries.

If you want the country to be peaceful and the people safe, you must prevent neighboring countries from invading easily. Only a large number of soldiers and good generals can deter the barbarians. But if you want to recruit soldiers, you will need more than a little money, not to mention weapons and armor, even food and grass. Empty treasury.

If the weather is good every year, it’s okay. If there is a natural disaster, not to mention the money for disaster relief. After the disaster, in order to let the people recuperate, tax reduction and exemption are necessary, and a large amount of income will be lost.

Speaking of the emperor's golden words, but the emperor has to think twice when he says a word, even if he occasionally wants to joke when he is in the mood, if he is taken seriously, he may be slapped in the face in the end.

And so what about the so-called power, there are officials and historians staring at you all day, or to see who is not pleasing to the eye and want to deal with a person, and you have to get a conclusive evidence of the crime, otherwise you will be said to be a faint king.

If you want to keep your name in Qing history, you can look back at the history books you have read. The emperors who can be remembered in the past dynasties are either the founding emperors or the horse gods who opened up the territory.

Thinking about it this way, being an emperor is not as good as being an ordinary rich man, with no shortage of money, and having a few friends to taste wine and discuss poetry, or go to the distance, wouldn't it be pleasant.

It's just that all of this is based on the fact that the life is still there. If the life is gone, it's useless to think about it.

Huangfu Rui sighed helplessly, and had to accept his fate again.

Yang Xiuning looked at him like that, but he couldn't feel any sympathy. Being born into the emperor's family was preordained, since he couldn't change it, he could only do his best.

Huangfu Rui threw the Wanmin Book into the brazier on the side, and the bright red paper turned into flying ash in an instant.

Sitting behind the dragon table, Huangfu Rui held his forehead and looked at the person opposite, and asked, "What exactly does your wife want to do?"

If it hadn't been for Du Fengtian's sudden illness, how could he have become a faint king who everyone shouted and beaten within a few days.

There is also the story of the southern plague, which can be said to be as true as it is true.

If he hadn't known that Su Peiran was in the palace, he would have wondered if the plague really broke out in the south.

Yang Xiuning didn't want to say it at first, but seeing Huangfu Rui's eager eyes as if he wouldn't let go unless he knew the answer from himself, he had no choice but to put down the teacup in his hand.

She straightened her face and said, "Xiaoxiao thinks that her mother-in-law didn't die simply because of giving birth. She wants to take this opportunity to investigate and help you get rid of the cancer before going to pick up the old man."

Huangfu Rui looked at Yang Xiuning with a strange expression, and really wanted to say, thank you!
But he still swallowed the words, who made this person so narrow-minded, if he really said it, he might be able to make a note of it.

But when it came to Du Xiaozhu's biological mother, Princess Huguo, the emperor immediately corrected his attitude.

"Xiaoxiao, but what clues do you have?"

"No, but Xiaoxiao was chased and killed when she was outside. The killer came from the capital, and there seems to be another reason why she ended up in the hands of human traffickers."

Yang Xiuning briefly said what he knew, but Du Xiaozhu wanted to investigate this matter by himself, and didn't want others to intervene.

Huangfurui probably guessed what Du Xiaozhu meant when he heard him say this, but he still asked, "Is there anyone who is suspicious of Xiaoxiao?"

Regarding Du Xiaozhu's suspicion, Yang Xiuning also felt a little weird at first, but after entering Du's mansion, Mrs. Du's attitude made her feel very strange.

Intuitively, the Du Mansion seems to hide many secrets, especially the heavily guarded courtyard.

After this investigation, he really found out a lot of unbelievable things. It was Mrs. Du's handwriting that Du Xiaozhu fell into the hands of human traffickers.

And the purpose was to save her life, but he didn't expect that this person would be bought back by him by accident, and he almost lost his life.

Back then, if he hadn't bought Du Xiaozhu, I'm afraid she would wander with the traffickers, meet Du Xiang somewhere, and be brought back to the capital.

It's not good for him to tell Huangfu Rui about this matter. After all, the person Du Xiaozhu suspects is inextricably linked to the Du Mansion. Even if the truth finally comes to light, it's better for them to handle this matter behind closed doors. , it is not appropriate to let him, who is the emperor, intervene.

While Yang Xiuning was gossiping with the emperor, Du Xiaozhu was not idle. On the night Mrs. Du lived in Xiangguo Temple, Du Xiaozhu also took people up the mountain.

With the support of Tianzhi, a magic stick, she is very handy in doing things.

In just an hour, except for the few guards close to Mrs. Du, all the people guarding the periphery have been completely replaced.

And everything is ready in this room, only Dongfeng is owed, but this Dongfeng is still lying in Du's house now, but it will have to wait for a while.

This happened, and Du Xiaozhu went down the mountain overnight. After the next day, an imperial edict came from the palace, ordering Du Fengtian to go out of Beijing to recuperate. Mrs. Du accompanied the imperial physician. Those who feel unwell can stay in Beijing, but they are not allowed to leave the house if there is nothing to do.

With the imperial decree, Wanminshan shouts long live.

A group of people in Mrs. Du's courtyard, including Aunt Liu, got into the carriage together. Together with Du Fengtian and Mrs. Du's car, a total of more than ten carriages left Beijing from Qianyuan Gate.

It's just that there shouldn't be any obstacles when they leave Beijing according to the order, but their car obviously didn't go so smoothly, not only the carriage was checked up and down, even the roof almost didn't come off.

Du Xiaozhu nestled on the brocade couch, touched Du Ruozhu's puffy, fleshy little face, with a smile in his eyes.

Back then, the Great Princess Protecting the Country hid the Empress Dowager, mother and son on the roof of the car and sent them out of the capital in the name of her acne.

Now, I am afraid that King Ning already knew that the queen mother in the palace was a fake, and it happened that the emperor ordered Du Fengtian to go out of Beijing to recuperate at this time, so how could people not doubt his motives.

If Du Fengtian went out of Beijing alone, he would be surrounded by servants and guards, and it would be difficult to hide the queen mother in it, but if Mrs. Du accompanied her, there would be several cars with nurses, maids, and maids in charge, so how could they be unguarded.

Originally, the emperor and King Jing were both filial people, and with the queen mother in hand, they would have to fight against each other. But at this critical moment, the queen mother who was in the deep palace would disappear without saying goodbye. King Ning almost beat his chest and stamped his feet out of breath.

And there is no trace of Du Fengtian's traveling team.

If it is said that the Queen Mother disappeared for no reason has nothing to do with Du Xiaozhu, even if he was killed, he would not believe it.

But it was too late to look back at this time.

When Yezi passed, the originally quiet capital suddenly burst into boiling sound, and a group of people who came out of nowhere quickly controlled the four gates of the capital.

King Ning led a crowd of [-] people from Zhuque Street to Xuanwu Gate and entered the palace.

However, the lively drama that started off had already come to an end before dawn.

Although he was not completely sure, King Ning always felt that he had a chance to let go, but he couldn't understand why the one waiting for him was a trap of himself.

It wasn't until Yang Xiuning and Jing Ninghou appeared in front of him together that he realized that the old fox knew that the son who was sent back to him was a fake, and he had already found his own son, but he kept pretending to be his own son. Without knowing it, he loves this fake by his side with all his heart, just to wait for himself to be hooked.

"No wonder, no wonder, this king deserves to lose!"

Before being taken down, King Ning still did not forget the last dying struggle.

"Your Majesty, you can't kill me, the Queen Mother is still in my hands."

King Jing couldn't help looking at his royal brother when he heard the words, didn't he always promise himself that his mother was fine?Why now King Ning said that the queen mother is in his hands.

Before the emperor could say anything, King Jing grabbed King Ning's lapel and forced him to ask, "Where is the Queen Mother?"

King Ning's mouth was foaming with blood, and his mouth was full of bloody smell, but he didn't care about it now, he knew that he had no chance, and only by holding on to this trump card could he have a chance of survival.

He looked over King Jing's shoulder and said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, do you think you can send the queen mother out safely by transferring everyone in the prison? Those people have all fallen into my hands since they left the prison." , no one knows where they are hidden, if I die, they will have to wait for death."

When Huangfu Jing heard the words, his eyes were about to burst, he glared at King Ning and roared, "That's your mother too!"

When King Ning heard this, he laughed ironically, "My mother died a long time ago. If she was still alive, where would it be your brother's turn to sit in this country? The world of Tianqi should be mine, and I am First-born princes are all bloody brother-in-law systems, father and emperor can ascend to the throne without direct brothers and brothers, why can't I?"

The more he talked about it, the more excited King Ning became, and he almost roared out with all his strength.

The emperor stretched out his hand and pulled King Jing's hand off King Ning's body. Without King Jing's support, the already injured King Ning couldn't stand alone.

The emperor Qu Zun squatted in front of him, stared into his eyes, and said for a long time, "Father didn't choose you because you don't have any real brothers, but because if any one of you sits on this seat, you won't leave any honor for other brothers." To survive, Father just hopes that we can all survive."

After the emperor finished speaking, he ordered King Ning to be taken down, but was stopped by King Jing.

The emperor knew what he was worried about, but he pulled him aside anyway.

After King Ning was taken away, the emperor waved the crowd away, and then pointed at King Jing's forehead and cursed, "It's so lucky that Xiaoxiao gave you the Dragon Soul Jue, why don't you use your brain at all, even worse than Xiaoxiao. "

As soon as the emperor finished speaking, he was cast a cold look by Yang Xiuning on the side, and he turned to a chair on the side and said angrily, "My daughter-in-law is much smarter than you, don't use your IQ to insult my wife."

Looking at him like this, Jing Ninghou originally wanted to remind him that there is a difference between monarchs and ministers, and that he should not be too presumptuous, but he didn't want the emperor not only to blame him for being rude, but to laugh at it.

Even King Bian Jing's attitude of daring to be angry but not speaking made him very surprised, but he didn't dare to say anything.

It's just that Prince Jing was worried about the Queen Mother's safety, so he couldn't help but ask, "Brother Huang, don't be a fool. How is the Queen Mother now?"

Speaking of this matter, the emperor couldn't help saying happily, "Don't worry, the queen mother will stay in her palace well."

"Then why did King Ning say that?" But King Jing didn't believe it, but just now King Ning was too convincing. If he hadn't personally participated in it, the emperor would not dare to guarantee it now.

But as far as this matter is concerned, he really admires Du Xiaozhu.

This trick of suspicion is really good.

It's just that now is not the time to sigh, if you don't make it clear to Prince Jing, I'm afraid he will never feel at ease.

So he told him the whole story.

It turned out that when Du Xiaozhu entered the palace for the first time, he smelled addictive things in the incense in the Empress Dowager's Palace.

This thing is often harmful to the body. Fortunately, the queen mother has just used it for a short time and it is not impossible to quit it, so Du Xiaozhu used the Dragon Soul Guard in the palace to bring a double into the palace to arrange for the queen mother to detoxify.

In fact, the queen mother has been in the palace and has not left the palace, and Du Xiaozhu deliberately mobilized the dragon soul guard stick to blame the prince in Xiangguo Temple, just to distract King Ning.

After that, taking the opportunity of the epidemic to let the emperor order to send away the people in the prison was actually just a trick of suspicion. It made King Ning think that the emperor had sensed his ambition and knew that he would do something to the empress dowager and wanted to arrange the dowager first before he could do anything to him. .

If news is released here to let his spies in the palace know that the queen mother in the palace is a fake, then he will definitely suspect that the queen mother came out of Beijing among those people in the prison.

What he will do at this time is to detain the person first.

Besides the group of people in Tianlao, with Du Xiaozhu, the princess holding the dragon soul guard, it is not impossible to hide in Du's house, so the Du mansion's carriage will definitely be searched by Yan's family when they go out of the city, and the result of nothing is found. Let him be sure that the queen mother is among the people in the prison.

Little did he know that since that day, the queen mother in the palace was real, but Du Xiaozhu made the queen mother deliberately pretend to be a double, making him think that the one in the palace was still just a double.

After Huangfu Jing knew the whole story, he couldn't help but admire Du Xiaozhu's skill.

Who would have thought that the empress dowager would learn from her substitute.

Everything went well on the side of the palace, but not so well on Du Xiaozhu's side.

The people who went down the mountain overnight felt that the atmosphere was not right. Soldiers wearing armor they had never seen before were all over the street. Even though Du Xiaozhu was surrounded by many masters, he still did not dare to act rashly.

After finally finding his way back to the mansion, he had already missed the opportunity to attack the Jingwu Court at night.

Looking at the slightly pale Dongfang, Du Xiaozhu had no choice but to start her second plan.

If it is dark, it can only be bright.

At daybreak, Du Xiaozhu called Du Rufeng to ask him to take the housekeeper to disinfect all the places in the house. Every yard had to be sprinkled with quicklime, naturally Mrs. Du's yard was no exception.

It's just that Du Xiaozhu brought the girl to come in person to disinfect the house. Of course, it's a good name, because she is afraid that the servants will damage the old lady's things with rough hands, but in fact, only she knows why.

But this time, just to be on the safe side, she didn't bring any maids from the mansion, and replaced them all with Yang Xiuning's people.

The turmoil in the capital did not affect the people in the Du Mansion at all. This is still the same as the previous edict, which ordered the people in the Du Mansion not to leave the mansion without incident, otherwise they would have been busy inquiring about the news at this time.

Less than half of the maids and women in the Jingwu courtyard were taken away, and Du Xiaozhu arranged for the rest to gather in one place. Since Du Fengtian and Mrs. Du left, everyone in the mansion had to check their pulse twice a day. If something is wrong, it should be isolated.

Except for Du Xiaozhu's Lingxi Pavilion where people would be taken away almost every time he had a pulse diagnosis, no one would be surprised if Mrs. Du's yard was occasionally taken away.

It's just that if Mrs. Du was present at this time, it would not be difficult to find that the people who were taken away were almost all nails she planted in various courtyards.

Except for those people who Mrs. Du told Du Xiaozhu when she was leaving, the rest were all found out along the lines of these people.

Du Xiaozhu can be considered to have maximized the use of the Dragon Soul Guard.

With Long Shiwu in the backyard, let alone these small tricks, even spies sent by other countries can get things out of their mouths.

If it weren't for these methods, he would not be qualified to be transferred to Du Xiaozhu's side.

With the information he provided, Du Xiaozhu had a certainty in mind when she entered Jingwu courtyard. When she just entered the Buddhist hall in Jingwu courtyard, there was a sound of "plop, plop" in the courtyard.

The butler, who was leading people to sprinkle quicklime, looked at the people coming from all corners one after another, he jumped down first, and after he realized it, he hurriedly asked the Fuzhong Nursing Yard to tie up all the people, and then invited Du Rufeng over .

Du Xiaozhu didn't pay attention to the commotion outside, anyway, she had already called Du Rufeng to greet him, and he knew how to deal with it.

Du Xiaozhu turned around in the Buddhist hall, and finally his eyes stopped on the altar of the white jade Guanyin statue enshrined.

Du Xiaozhu circled it twice, no matter how he looked at it, he felt that something was wrong, but he just couldn't remember it for a while.

As the saying goes, three cobblers are worth one Zhuge Liang, and since one person couldn't figure it out, she waved behind her and asked Luluo and Luwu to come forward to help her with her advice.

The three of them turned around the altar and wandered around again. Suddenly, Lu Luo pointed at the white jade Guanyin statue and exclaimed, "Master, I know!"

Du Xiaozhu rubbed his chin and waited for Luluo to finish his excitement before asking, "What do you know?"

Lu Wu also stared at the direction of her finger, seemed to see something and moved a little closer, before saying uncertainly, "But what's wrong with this Guanyin statue?"

Hearing this, Du Xiaozhu also came over. The ancients believed in gods and Buddhas, and most people would not easily touch the Buddha statue even if they found something wrong. However, Du Xiaozhu had no scruples in this regard, and gently held the Buddha statue with his right hand With a little force on his left shoulder, he turned the Buddha statue around.

She originally wanted to pick it up for inspection, but found that the Buddha statue seemed to be connected with the altar, so she decided to help him turn around.

As soon as the Buddha statue turned, the three master and servant heard a slight cracking sound.

Lu Luo and Lu Wu hurriedly protected Du Xiaozhu behind them, and looked around carefully, for fear that they accidentally touched some terrible mechanism.

The two waited for a long time, until the sound of the machine had stopped, and there was nothing wrong. It was Du Xiaozhu who kept staring at the Buddhist altar, only to find that the altar seemed to have moved a little bit.

Du Xiaozhu lightly patted the shoulders of the two of them to signal them to get out of the way first, then walked carefully to the altar and checked it carefully, only to find a protrusion on the wall that was only as big as a fingernail. May find out.

Du Xiaozhu pressed slightly under his fingers, and a small drawer the size of a baby's palm popped out from the upper two fingers, and a porcelain bottle the size of an adult's thumb was hidden in the drawer.

Du Xiaozhu had inspected that place before, and the wall was complete without even a single gap. It seemed that after someone hid this thing in, he had no intention of taking it out again, so he repainted the wall, if she hadn't touched it That agency, I'm afraid it's hard to find this thing.

Du Xiaozhu put it in his sleeve, but didn't leave immediately, but let the two girls, Luluo and Luwu, work together to roll up the wool felt under the altar and move it aside.

Just now when she heard the voice of the machine, she felt that something was wrong, and she didn't think about it for a while, but now that she thought about it, if she wanted to hide the thing at hand, she would not need this altar with traps at all, instead it would be buried directly in the wall without concealing it. less conspicuous.

Anyway, if she was asked to hide, she would definitely not do it.

Unless there is something behind this that can't be hidden without being so big.

Now that I think about it, the mechanism in the Buddhist altar just now should not have stopped automatically, it seems that it stopped when it was blocked by something.

On the other hand, apart from the altar, only the big felt on the ground and the futon on the big felt are left in the whole Buddhist hall.

Sure enough, the big felt was removed, and the altar slowly moved again, gradually revealing a hole that only allows one person to pass through.

Luluo wanted to go down to check, but was stopped by Du Xiaozhu, who knows what will be inside, what if there are some traps inside if she goes down so rashly?Taking ten thousand steps back, if this place has not been used for many years and the air inside is not circulated, it will not be dangerous to go down.

Du Xiaozhu asked Lvwu to go outside to find the housekeeper to ask for a cat, and tied a rope around the cat's neck. When everything was ready, Du Xiaozhu threw the prepared thread ball into the hole, which was originally reported by Luluo. The kitten in his arms ran in after the ball of thread with a swish.

Du Xiaozhu watched the rope in his hand decrease little by little, counting how far the cat had traveled, and when the rope in his hand no longer decreased, Du Xiaozhu lightly tugged on the rope in his hand one by one.

Hearing a cat meow every time he pulled it, he could probably be sure that there was no danger inside.

But it was still time for a cup of tea before Du Xiaozhu let Luluo go down, but then asked Long Si to come out and go in with her.

Du Xiaozhu sat on the futon, tilted her head and stared at the opening of the hole, waited for a long time but no one came out, although she didn't say anything but kept tapping her fingers on her knees, she still betrayed her mood.

Finally, it was time for another cup of tea, and finally there was movement below, and the kitten was carried up first.

Then Luluo also climbed up, but her face was livid and ugly.

When Du Xiaozhu saw her like this, he knew that she was frightened.

He didn't ask anything, but let Luwu help her to the side to rest.

Du Xiaozhu waited for Long Si to come up, but he didn't expect to hear a word from him first.

"Master, can you ask Long Wu to come down and help the subordinates?"

Du Xiaozhu nodded, Long Wu came out from the dark place, jumped into the cave entrance.

Immediately afterwards, Du Xiaozhu heard a gasp.

Long Si and Long Wu came out of the cave one after another, and Long Wu was holding something in his hand, while Long Si was only wearing a white coat, but Long Wu held his coat in his arms.

Now Du Xiaozhu couldn't sit still anymore, he hurriedly stood up and asked, "What's going on?"

"Master, there is a person below, he is still breathing, and his subordinates brought him up."

Du Xiaozhu heard that Long Wu was holding a person in his arms, and just wanted to step forward to check, but didn't want Long Wu to retreat subconsciously to avoid Du Xiaozhu's outstretched hand.

Du Xiaozhu looked at him with a questioning look in puzzlement, and before Long Wu could say anything, he heard Long Si take a step forward and explain, "Master, I haven't seen you for a long time, and Long Wu is afraid of exposing her face rashly." clothes, the bright light will blind her eyes."

Du Xiaozhu was in a hurry for a moment, so he forgot this point, heard what Long Si said, and remembered this, and only ordered, "Lvwu first find a house to resettle the person, and then find a doctor to show her."

As he spoke, he signaled Long Wu to follow Luwu first.

But he didn't expect that when Long Wu turned around, Du Xiaozhu saw a bare foot under Long Si's coat, which didn't look like human legs, it was clearly a mummified corpse.

After Lu Wu and Long Si left, Du Xiaozhu turned around and looked at Long Si with a serious face, "Don't hide anything from now on."

Long Si looked at Lu Luo who was still sitting on the ground with a pale face, and he knew that it was just wishful thinking to hide it.

Long Si took a deep breath, opened his mouth to speak but felt that something was pinching his throat and couldn't speak, repeated this several times.

Du Xiaozhu's heart gradually sank into the cold pool as he took deep breaths again and again. It seemed that the matter was much more serious than she thought.

Just when she was considering whether to go down and take a look in person, Long Si finally spoke.

"There are piles of bones. According to the judgment of my subordinates, some people may have been dead for more than ten years."

And hearing Long Si's words, Lu Luo also nodded in agreement.

When it comes to post-mortem Lu Luo is more professional than Long Si, that's why she was so frightened out of her wits.

With just a few glances, she could tell what kind of torture those people had suffered before.

Du Xiaozhu's face was solemn, and he asked Long Si to restore the Buddhist altar to its previous appearance. We should wait for Du Fengtian and the others to come back to discuss this matter.

By the way, ask Long Si to tell Long Shiwu that all the maids and women in Jingwu Court, especially those who hide in the dark, don't have to interrogate them carefully.

Long Si took the lead, he knew what the master wanted to know.

After Longsi left, Du Xiaozhu also left the Buddhist hall with Lu Luo.

Lvluo was still pale when she got back to Lingxi Pavilion, and she had a fever before noon.

At first, seeing the frightened Luluo crawling out of the hole, Luwu secretly scolded her for being cowardly, but when she really saw the person who was carried out by Long Wu, she realized how ridiculous her thoughts were just now. .

Luluo was surprised and the imperial physician came to see her. She prescribed a sedative medicine and drank two doses and she was fine, but the person who was carried up from the secret room was already at the point where the medicine was useless and the oil was exhausted.
