Dirty color

Chapter 199
The Clan Mansion received a person today—Yong Wang Feng Qingli.

After King Yong Fengqingli left, Zuo Zongzheng of the clan's mansion looked at the maid who was kneeling on the ground, and couldn't help frowning—after so many years, King Yong Fengqingli brought a girl and told them that Huaqing County The death of the Lord is doubtful.

Princess Huaqing is the emperor's little relative, so it is naturally within the jurisdiction of the Clan Mansion. Even if Princess Huaqing died, the Clan Mansion would have to verify the news when it received such news. If it is true Well, then, the prisoner will naturally have to kill everyone.

What's more, the person who came to the clan's mansion to sue this matter was Yong Wang Feng Qingli, which showed that this matter should not be ignored.

However, Yong Wang Feng Qingli had no evidence, he said very congratulatoryly, this maid didn't know much, and the maid who knew a lot is now dead.

After Zuo Zongzheng asked a few more questions, he asked people to take this maid named Banxia down to watch. As for Gu Yuwen, Zuo Zongzheng also ordered someone to bring her to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Zongzheng was very skeptical. This woman was only in her teens, and she was less than ten years old when she poisoned Princess Huaqing to death.

Are you really so cruel?
But thinking about how she would poison her husband to death in order to stay and fly with her adulterer, and when that man was a fourth-rank member of the imperial court, Zuo Zongzheng also believed in the viciousness of Gu Yuwen, a weak woman.

He began to have Gu Yuwen interrogated.

When Gu Yuwen heard the accusation of "poisoning the princess of Huaqing", she was so terrified and guilty that she almost couldn't control herself from screaming. However, Gu Yuwen quickly remembered her situation—she was The person who is about to die is one more crime, so what?
Anyway, it's just a death.

However, she refused to admit it. After all, after so many years, the evidence of the crime was long gone. If she didn't admit it, what could others do to her? Thinking about it, I knew that this matter must have something to do with Gu Mingxuan.

But although Gu Yuwen refused to admit it, Zuo Zong has been in this position for many years, has a lot of experience, and is also a good hand in torture. How could he miss Gu Yuwen's expression of surprise, fear, guilty conscience and pretending to be calm?
In his heart, he fully confirmed Gu Yuwen's poisoning of Princess Huaqing.

As for Gu Yuwen not admitting it, this is easy to handle. Although the Clan Mansion does not participate in the affairs of the court, it is not like the Jingzhao Mansion and the Ministry of Punishment, which control many criminals who have committed heinous crimes. With rich experience.

How could Gu Yuwen be the opponent of those criminal masters? She confessed in just half an hour. As for the method she used to poison Huaqing Princess, Zuo Zongzheng, who claims to have seen many The heinous criminals all felt shuddering—how could a little girl of a few years have such a meticulous mind to harm others?

Moreover, he was still a very good person to her.

The death of Princess Huaqing was really wronged.

Zuo Zongzheng sighed, and then passed the news to Prince Yong Feng Qingli. Feng Qingli couldn't help frowning after getting the news. He was afraid that Gu Mingxuan would be sad, but he couldn't keep this matter from Gu Mingxuan, so he just Maybe he told Gu Mingxuan about the matter in person.

Hearing this, Gu Mingxuan couldn't help but close her eyes, tears streaming down her face.

Seeing this, Feng Qingli was so distressed that she hurriedly hugged Gu Mingxuan and softly comforted her. It was not until Gu Mingxuan slowly shed tears that Feng Qingli finally breathed a sigh of relief—he was already sweating profusely from anxiety, and hated him to the core Gu Yuwen.

Gu Mingxuan asked Du Juan to wash her face with water, and then she calmed down a little, and said to Feng Qingli, "I have to tell my father about this."

"Don't worry, I've sent someone to invite my father-in-law."

In just two days, the capital was shocked by another incident - that poisonous woman, who committed adultery and poisoned her husband, killed her when she was young because she was greedy for glory and wealth. The only reason is that the owner of Huaqing County had already found the trace of Miss Gu and wanted to bring her biological daughter back, and that poisonous woman was afraid that after Miss Gu came back, she would be sent back. When she was relatively poor, she killed the Princess Huaqing who loved her so much.

For a time, the poisonous woman was vicious by nature, and her embryo was so bad that pus flowed out, the Marquis of Shun'an was really unlucky, and the princess of Huaqing County was really pitiful, which replaced the original argument that the Marquis of Shun'an was not well educated.

Gu Mingxuan smiled bitterly.

Even if Gu Yuwen was spurned by everyone and Ling Chi was sentenced, so what, she just died, even if she died painfully, but it was only a few days, the hatred in her heart was really hard to get rid of.

Gu Mingxuan went to watch the scene where Gu Yuwen was tortured, Gu Yuwen's miserable howling made Gu Mingxuan feel a little depressed.

She could only smile sadly, and offer a stick of incense to her mother Huaqing Princess on her mother's birthday, hoping that her mother will live a safe and happy life after reincarnation.

After Huaqing Princess' birthday, it will be August [-]th. This is the first time that Gu Mingxuan entered the palace to receive a banquet as a princess, because her status has increased a lot. There is no need to be so trembling.

After all, now is not the time for anyone to shout at her.

As for the empress dowager, when the emperor continued to weaken the Qin family, she felt depressed and did not give the emperor any face. On the night of August [-]th, she did not have a reunion dinner with the emperor, but instead summoned two juniors from the Qin family In the past, when amused with her, the emperor laughed angrily, the queen laughed secretly, and others were also entertained by the queen mother's actions.

Of course, like Gu Mingxuan, everyone still maintained their respect for the Empress Dowager on the surface, and they all went to the Empress Dowager's palace first to pay her respects. As for those who could see the Empress Dowager, there were only a few of them.

Gu Mingxuan thought that the queen mother would not see her yet, but unexpectedly, the queen mother summoned her.

When Gu Mingxuan heard the maid of the Compassionate Ning Palace say, "The queen mother invites the concubine to come in and talk", she felt something was wrong—the queen mother and her were obviously incompatible, and Gu Mingxuan would never feel that the queen mother invited her in so politely. , there will be good things waiting for her here.

Sure enough, when the queen mother met her, after speaking to her coldly, she waved her hand and asked someone to bring two beautiful young girls, and said directly to Gu Mingxuan, "In all these years, Xiao Jiu has no one to serve her. , In the past, I was not married. Aijia wanted to establish a career first, so I didn't care. Now that Xiaojiu is married, she is naturally an adult. It is always impossible to have no one around her. These two are from Aijia's side. She is smart and well-behaved, so let Xiao Jiu serve her by her side."

The queen mother said again: "As a princess, it is of course my duty to take care of the affairs of the palace and serve the prince well, but don't forget that it is also very important to spread the heirs and branches for the royal family."

Gu Mingxuan: "..."

She glanced at the two shy girls with a troubled look on her face.

The queen mother glared at Gu Mingxuan and said, "Why, you don't want it?"

Gu Mingxuan said with a smile: "How could it be? The concubine is eager to have more people to serve the prince, but...to marry a wife, to marry a virtuous person, to marry a concubine to marry a woman, these two...I am afraid that the prince will despise you."

Empress Dowager: "..."

Two women who were blushing just now: "..."

The Empress Dowager was about to continue talking, but the maids outside said: "His Royal Highness King Yong came down to pay his respects to the Empress Dowager."

The queen mother felt tightness in her chest for a while—it didn't take a quarter of an hour before you called your concubine for being so affectionate, and you came here in such a hurry, what's the matter!
Staring at Feng Qingli who straightened up without her calling after paying her respects, the Queen Mother felt even more tight in her chest.

Too lazy to see the two of them, the queen mother said directly: "Xiao Jiu, when Xiao Wu was your age, there were already two Wen Qin and Wen Jun, and now you are here, let alone children, it is good news Not at all, the Ai family thought, your concubine is busy managing the inner house of the palace on weekdays, I am afraid that she will not be free, these two girls are docile and just serve you, so you don't have to thank them, just take them back."

Feng Qingli glanced at the Empress Dowager with a half-smile, and saw that the Empress Dowager's chest was extremely tight, but she was inexplicably guilty, Feng Qingli said: "It turns out that the Qin family always has a concubine before they have a concubine. Grandson understands..."

This sentence made the queen mother feel ashamed and annoyed for a while, and said angrily: "Xiao Jiu, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Feng Qingli didn't care about the empress dowager's scolding. Instead, she looked the two girls up and down as if she was looking at goods, and then said to the empress disappointed: "Is there no decent one around the imperial grandmother? It's so ugly, grandson I'll have nightmares in the middle of the night."

Empress Dowager: "..."

This farce finally came to an end when the emperor sent someone to call Feng Qingli over. As for the queen mother, after Feng Qingli recovered from all kinds of insinuations, Feng Qingli had already left, and the queen mother could only lose her temper. Dropped a lot of things.

This farce soon spread throughout the entire palace, the queen couldn't help but frowned slightly, she glanced at the two tall and enchanting women who were following her - this book was also intended to be given to Prince Yong Feng Qingli, The words are naturally similar to those of the Empress Dowager, for the continuation of the royal heirs, but after the Empress Dowager made such a move, doing it again would be a provocation to King Yong Feng Qingli.

In the end, the queen still sighed and decided to give up.

It's not the time to turn against Feng Qingli.

Afterwards, the banquet was more harmonious. After all, in front of the civil and military family members of the Manchu Dynasty, it would not be good if their family members were ashamed.

Gu Mingxuan was called by Concubine Shu to sit beside her. From a distance, she saw the eighth concubine.

At this moment, the Eighth Prince Concubine is still very thin. Looking at her dress, she felt that the dress seemed to be supported by a thin stick, rather than being worn on a person's body. It was guessed that the Eighth Prince's Concubine was probably so thin that all her body was left with only bones and no flesh.

Because of the distance, Gu Mingxuan couldn't see the expression on the face of the Eighth Prince's Concubine, but seeing her sitting quietly by herself and not talking to anyone, she could tell that she might not be in a good mood.

According to the information obtained by cousin Qing Li, the Eighth Prince's Concubine was pregnant at about the beginning of May, and it has been three and a half months now.

Gu Mingxuan narrowed her eyes slightly. She had given birth before, so she naturally knew that a woman's pregnancy would be more than four months old, and it would be difficult to hide it. After all, the lower abdomen would be slightly protruding, and the eighth concubine was relatively thin. At most five months later, they will not be able to hide it.

In this way, even if the empress wants to keep it a secret, the eighth concubine's pregnancy will not be kept a secret for long.

A few days later, it was the day of Gu Mingling's marriage. Naturally, Gu Mingxuan prepared generous gifts to save Gu Mingling's face. He highly valued the Marquis of Shun'an, and by the way, he also valued the Bao family a little bit.

After this important event, Gu Mingxuan was free again, and things were just as Gu Mingxuan thought, at the beginning of October, the Eighth Prince's concubine was pregnant, and it was really impossible to hide it.

It was only five months since she seldom went out to meet people because she served the Eighth Prince.

The news that the eighth prince concubine was pregnant made many people inexplicably surprised——eighth prince, is your body already recovering?
The Eighth Prince is the legitimate son, if he is in good health... No, no, many people vetoed it after they had guessed it. The Eighth Prince's body was born in the womb, even if he recovered, it would be false. The Great Yong Dynasty did not need a weak emperor, so the Eighth Prince had absolutely no chance.

But what if the eighth concubine gave birth to a boy?
If this is the case, then the child really occupies the title of righteousness.

He has an identity that neither King Yong Feng Qingli nor the fifth prince ever had - he was born as a descendant.

Some people in the imperial court were agitated, but on the surface, they still looked calm. After all, it was useless for them to agitate even before the child was born.

Because of this, the fifth prince felt a little inexplicably irritated.

Gu Minghe's strategy is good, but there is also a problem - is this child a boy or a girl?
Only God can decide.

The fifth prince is not only worried about the gender of the child, but the fifth prince is also worried about the appearance of the eighth prince concubine - I remember that when his wife was pregnant, he gained a lot of weight, just like that, when his wife gave birth, she was still very The thrilling, almost passed out halfway.

But what about the eighth concubine?
She is so thin that a gust of wind can blow her away. How can she have the strength when she gives birth in the future.

If because of her poor health, the child cannot be born, and the success falls short...

The Fifth Prince felt that he needed to have a good talk with the Eighth Prince.

It's a pity that now, the queen is staring at the eighth concubine like an eyeball. It is really not easy for him to see the fifth concubine like before.

I just don't know if the concubine mother can do anything.

The fifth prince then sent a message to Concubine Pei De, asking Concubine Pei De to think of a way to persuade the eighth concubine, so that the eighth concubine wouldn't get into a dead end. It doesn't matter if she dies herself, but don't harm the child in her womb.

Concubine Pei De actually noticed the state of the eighth concubine, and she was also worried. As Gu Minghe said, after having this child, no matter whether the child is a boy or a girl, the queen will be lucky and will not be with Feng Qingli again. Yes, sure enough, the queen did not support Li Fengqingli as the crown prince, and then Feng Qingli also responded to the queen's family, which caused a lot of trouble for the queen's natal family.

His own emperor, fueling the flames in the middle, made them fight more fiercely, and at the same time, he had a chance to breathe.

Therefore, this child must not have anything to do at this time.

As for whether the baby will be a boy or a girl, a strange light flashed in Pei Defei's eyes. When the time comes, there will always be a solution.
