Blessed

Chapter 41 The things I found are a bit unbearable

Luo Zhaoyuan is the daughter of the concubine of Luo's family who is the third-rank secretary supervisor. The secretary supervises the work of national book collection and editing. As a real civil official, the Luo family does not have much real power. , but also very charming, the man can't help feeling pity when he sees it.

These years, Luo Zhaoyuan has been favored in the harem. Two years ago, she gave birth to a prince, and she was saved during a dystocia, and the child was not born alive. She was sad for a long time, and only recently wanted to drive out and walk more.

The queen was having dinner at that time, and heard the news from the Ministry of Criminal Justice. She didn't move for a long time, and waved her hand to let the guards back down. The meal in front of her could no longer take a bite, and she ordered lightly, "Nurse, remove the meal. Go down and reward those little girls."

Grandma Zhuang took a few steps forward, seeing that the meals on the dining table were barely touched, she persuaded, "Your Majesty, you should use some, your body won't be able to bear it."

Grandma Zhuang served the maidservant beside the queen since she was a child. She said she was a nanny, but she was actually a few years older than the queen. She entered the palace with the queen and never left the palace when she reached the age. loyal.

"Take it away, I can't eat any more." The queen stared at the blue-and-white, red-and-gold flower pattern plate in front of her, and said slowly, "Nurse, tell me, why is she so capable that she can make Luo Zhaoyuan take this crime. "

Nanny Zhuang has stayed with the queen in the palace for more than ten years, knowing the grievances between her and Concubine Mu, and also knowing that she is Concubine Mu, she said, "My lady, everyone always has someone who cares about or matter, as long as you grasp this point, let those people die, they will not dare to say a word."

The queen sneered a few times, "Yes, she is cruel, otherwise, how could the third prince kneel down to Guangji Temple at that age, and even kill my grandson, and blame Luo Zhaoyuan." Turning around, "Nurse, let me go to the Holy One with me, this matter must be resolved."

Went to Emperor Ruiwu's bedroom, he was discussing matters with several ministers, when he saw the empress, several ministers bowed and retreated, the empress informed Emperor Ruiwu of the news from the Ministry of Punishment, his face was heavy, his brows were furrowed, and he opened his mouth after a long time He said, "Since the evidence from the Ministry of Criminal Justice is solid, Luo Zhaoyuan is pressured to go to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for interrogation. If she confesses, she will be executed with a cane."

This can be regarded as killing chickens to warn monkeys. If they are not severely punished, the atmosphere in the harem will continue to repeat.

The queen nodded slightly when she heard the words. She knew in her heart that Luo Zhaoyuan was wronged. Luo Zhaoyuan had no contacts in the palace, so how could she do such a thing.But so what, Concubine Mu Gui removed herself completely, this time she couldn't be found on her body, she told Emperor Ruiwu bluntly, and it made him unhappy, this kind of thing happened before, she bluntly said, finally changed What came was his angry accusation, telling her not to wrong Concubine Mu Gui.

When the queen returned to her dormitory, the Ministry of Criminal Justice also pressured Luo Zhaoyuan to interrogate her. She went to the Ministry of Criminal Justice and saw Luo Zhaoyuan and said, "You are a hard worker, is it worth taking the blame for her?"

Luo Zhaoyuan looked straight at the queen with charming eyes, "The concubine doesn't understand what the empress means, this concubine did it, and the concubine also recognized it."

The queen closed her eyes, very angry. When she opened her eyes, her eyes were sharper, "Then tell me, why did you murder my eldest grandson!"

"Heh..." Luo Zhaoyuan sneered, her appearance was too pitiful, and her sneer was not imposing enough, "Empress Empress, have you forgotten how the concubine didn't have her first child? The concubine wants you to try this The pain of bereavement."

"Presumptuous!" The queen shook her sleeves, "Does Luo Zhaoyuan mean that you think that the child in your belly was lost by this palace? Do you think that this palace can't even accommodate a child from you? I don't know what that person said to you! You are so stupid Ultimately, if you admit this mistake, what should your family do? Do you think that your family will be able to live well after you die? Why do you even ignore the parents who gave birth to you and raised you. "

Luo Zhaoyuan lowered her head, "I did this alone, and it has nothing to do with my family. I am willing to be punished."

The queen said angrily, "Okay, my palace is as you wish, the Holy Majesty has already spoken, if you plead guilty, you will be directly executed!"

Luo Zhaoyuan raised her head in astonishment, "No, it's impossible, how could His Majesty be so cruel?"

"Otherwise, what do you think? Murdering the eldest grandson of the Holy Master, if this matter is not severely punished, how can the harem be suppressed? At this moment, you are still willing to take this charge for that person?"

Luo Zhaoyuan suddenly remembered that person's charming appearance like a moon, and said to herself in a charming manner, 'Why, you don't want to?You helped me find this medicine at the beginning. The maids and imperial physicians around you have all certified it. You can check the records at the imperial hospital and you will know.Or did you think that your lover would let the sage know, and he was beheaded along with you. '

After finishing speaking, the man still chuckled, "If you go, I can still save your lover's life." '

Luo Zhaoyuan felt resentful in her heart. What could she do? She couldn't wash it off even by jumping into the Yellow River. She found the medicines of those prescriptions back then. You can find out, you can't escape.She thought of that brave and handsome man again, how many times can he be favored by the Holy One in the palace?Since the dystocia, she was lonely and helpless in the palace, but when she got to know him, they fell in love with each other secretly, and he was her only throbbing and hope in this harem.

She opened her mouth slowly, with a desolate tone, "The concubine pleaded guilty. This is the concubine's fault. The concubine was annoyed at the time when the queen took action against the prince in the concubine's belly, so she found poison to murder Concubine Jiang."

"You bastard!" The queen was annoyed. These people would bite her back when they were about to die. It was really disgusting. The queen flung her sleeves and left. "You guys interrogate carefully, and if you get evidence, you will be directly shot."

Luo Zhaoyuan pleaded guilty, and found out from the records of the imperial hospital that she had ordered several prescriptions separately, and even the little maid beside her had admitted it, and there were even witnesses and material evidence. The result couldn't be clearer. , Emperor Ruiwu personally ordered that Luo Zhaoyuan be executed with a cane outside the hall at noon three days later, and all the concubines were invited to watch the punishment, so that they could be vigilant.

On the day of the stick death, all the concubines went to see her. Luo Zhaoyuan was beaten to a bloody mess. During the dog days, these concubines shivered.

In Ruihe Garden, Yuzhu stayed by Yuning's side these days and refused to leave. She had to eat, drink and sleep next to Yuning until today when the news came that Luo Zhaoyuan was killed with a stick. Yuzhu sat there without moving for a long time. The licorice came with steamed pears. The pears were cored, stuffed with rock sugar, red dates and medlars, and steamed on a small stove for an hour. They were placed on a bean green painted plum blossom jade plate, which was pleasing to the eye.

Licorice put the plate on the food table in front of Yuzhu and said softly, "Girl, the pear stewed by the servant in the small kitchen, your throat is uncomfortable these days, it's best to eat this."

Yuzhu used her throat a little too much that night, and her speech has been hoarse for the past few days, but her heart aches for Licorice, and she tries every means to steam or boil pears for her to eat every day.

Yuzhu nodded, and took a spoon to dig out the pear meat and eat it. The flavors of rock sugar and red dates melted into the pear, making it sweet and soft.After eating a steamed pear soon, Licorice handed the plate to the maidservant at the side. Only the sleeping Yuning and the two of them were left in the bedroom, so she whispered to Yuzhu, "Girl, I heard that Luo Zhaoyuan who murdered the side concubine The stick is dead, and I heard that she bit the queen mother back, saying that she did this kind of thing because the queen harmed her child."

"Nonsense." The little Yuzhu sat there and shook his head, "It's definitely not the case. What did the empress do to her child? There are a few princes on her, and she has a little prince who hasn't been born yet? It's too busy and nothing to do. ?" She doesn't understand the affairs of the palace, so she should know that if the empress really has that kind of thought, how can the other princes still live well, have no grudges or grievances, and cause you a child who has no accident?This is impossible, these people are also vicious, and they will bite the queen back when they die.

Licorice nodded knowingly, "Master, then tell me, did Luo Zhaoyuan really do it?"

Yuzhu shook her head without speaking, she didn't live in the palace, she didn't understand the temperament and grievances of the concubines in the harem, how could she guess whether Luo Zhaoyuan did it or not.

Due to Concubine Jiang's miscarriage and recuperation, the imperial concubine sent a lot of things these days, all of which were supplements, such as ginseng and ganoderma, but no one dared to send other food items.

After recuperating for the past few days, Yuning's complexion has improved a lot, and she is not so pale. Today, Imperial Physician Yin added ginseng root and old hen soup to the diet list. The soup oil is cleaned, and she can only drink half a bowl a day. Eat it normally.

Yuzhu admires this old doctor very much, he is a good man and has excellent medical skills.

Two days later, another life occurred in the Summer Resort, and the dead was a guard of Qianniuwei.

Qianniuwei is in charge of the 'guard attendant in charge of the sword', that is, the personal bodyguard next to Emperor Ruiwu. The person who died was named He Chen. He was a tall, heroic, and dignified figure. Drunk, accidentally fell into the pond and drowned.

Wu Zuo did an autopsy, and it was true that he was drunk and fell into the pond and drowned, so the matter was left alone.

The others might not think of anything, but the empress noticed something was wrong, so she asked her subordinates to investigate. After a few days of investigation, she finally found a clue, and Nanny Zhuang was whispering to the empress, "Ma'am, what did you find out?" It's a bit embarrassing, it turns out that He Chen has an affair with Luo Zhaoyuan, and I'm afraid that person will use this to threaten Luo Zhaoyuan."

The queen was stunned for a while, "That's how it is."

Mother Zhuang said, "Your Majesty, do you want to tell the Holy One?"

The queen shook her head, "No need, this matter is over, now I have taken Luo Zhaoyuan's affair to tell the Holy Majesty, the Holy Majesty will not believe it, everyone is dead, and there is no evidence to prove it, so what should I do. That man is also cruel, Not only did they use this person to coerce Luo Zhaoyuan, but they also dealt with him afterwards."

Madam Zhuang said, "This person deserves what he deserves, to seduce the concubines in the palace to do such a thing."

"That's all." The queen sighed, "That's the end of this matter. By the way, on the side of Concubine Jiang, which palace maids do you think should be arranged to serve?"
