Chapter 182 Poisoning Incident (4)
Hearing what he said, Concubine Yang Gui was in a hurry, how could this matter be sent to the yamen of the Ministry of Punishment, and Xian'er would have to bear the responsibility once she went in.He immediately stopped in front of Fu Qingyan and said: "Knowing that the emperor is always in a hurry, the concubine asked the emperor about the matter for a while before inviting the emperor to come over. It's just that this matter concerns the face of the Yang family and the Marquis of Anping. There are rumors and storms in the capital, which will have a negative impact on the two families."

This is also implying that if this matter gets out, it will inevitably cause divisions within the prince's internal forces, giving people an opportunity to take advantage of it.

How could Emperor Hongwu fail to hear this hint?He immediately changed his tone and said: "Then tell me quickly, what is it?"

Fu Qingyan felt helpless secretly, had to repeat the matter again, and finally said: "Your Majesty, with such solid evidence, there is absolutely no reason for this humble minister to wrong my concubine's house, please make a clear judgment."

Emperor Hongwu pondered, glanced at Yang Shuxian who was lowering her head and wringing her fingers, then turned to ask Concubine Yang, "What does Concubine Ai think?"

Concubine Yang Guifei sighed slightly, "Back to the emperor, don't the concubine's own grand-nieces understand? She is kind-hearted on weekdays, and even if she sees an injured cat, cat or dog, she has to treat them, so why would she poison a dog?" What about the child? The concubine always thought that the Song family had colluded with the child to deliberately harm Xian'er."

Emperor Hongwu's eyes darkened, "What is Song's purpose?"

Concubine Yang Guifei glanced at Fu Qingyan, "Because of Xian'er's existence, Mrs. Song felt a little in the way, so she decided to get rid of her."

Fu Qingyan suddenly raised his head, glaring and said: "Please don't insult people's innocence, my concubine."

"The filthy man is innocent? Is there any filthy man in this palace who is innocent?" Concubine Yang sneered, "Okay, then I would like to ask you, as the husband of the Yang family, why does the son help his concubine instead of helping his sister-in-law? Isn't that a little unreasonable?"

"The world can learn from the heart of a humble minister, and there is no partiality!"

Concubine Yang Gui didn't listen to him at all, and turned to look at Emperor Hong Wu, "Just now Xian'er also said that the prince has a good impression of the Song family..."

Fu Qingyan finally couldn't help interrupting her, "Ma'am, that's all her nonsense, how can it be taken seriously? The minister just told the truth and spoke according to the facts. So dirty the innocence of my minister and my sister-in-law?"

The two argued, but Yang remained silent below, Hong Wudi frowned, waved his hand and said, "Which is right and wrong in this matter, isn't it just to find out who made the poison? Why bother?" So many things happened?"

Concubine Yang said helplessly: "How do we investigate this matter? The child said that someone Xian'er knew covered his nose with poisonous powder. With such an identification, Xian'er must be blamed."

Emperor Hongwu flashed his eyes, "Since it wasn't Yang who did it, but someone else, why didn't the child identify the person who covered his nose?"

Concubine Yang's eyes lit up, "Your majesty is indeed wise, this method is the most direct." She turned her head and said to Yang: "When you go back to Hou Mansion next time, let Brother Xuan come to your yard to identify you. Who on earth is he going to accuse of covering his nose?"

Hearing what she said, Mrs. Yang realized it in her heart, and hurriedly agreed.

At the same time, Concubine Yang Gui conceived another plan, and said to Emperor Hongwu: "Your Majesty, look, Xian'er is the granddaughter of Master Yang, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, and now she has been beaten into such a state. I don't know what kind of punishment I will suffer, this is clearly a slap in the face of the courtier, Lord Yang, Your Majesty, how can you allow such things to continue to happen?"

Emperor Hongwu pondered, and asked Fu Qingyan, "I heard that it was your third younger brother who did it?"

Fu Qingyan was thinking about the identification, and felt slightly ashamed when he heard the words: "Yes."

Emperor Hongwu frowned, "I heard that your third brother's dumb disease was cured a few days ago, and he has spoken now. Is there such a thing?"

Fu Qingyan lowered his head, "There is indeed such a thing."

Emperor Hongwu's eyes darkened and changed, his fingers unconsciously closed and gradually clenched into fists. After a while, he heard him say slowly: "Beating the courtier's daughter is not a trivial matter. A estrangement has arisen. Let's do this first, and I will urgently call Fu Yu into the palace to see me, and I will personally persuade him, and hope that from now on, he will not beat people like this again."

He looked sideways and said to the Degong beside him: "Go, pass on my oral order, and let Fu Yu come to see you."

"Yes." Eunuch De took the order and left.

Seeing Eunuch De leave, Concubine Yang Gui suddenly smiled and said to Emperor Hongwu: "Your Majesty, although the person who poisoned has not been identified, the concubine seems to be able to imagine something. Come on, let's go, even though the Song family framed him so People, the concubine thinks that the family and everything are prosperous, and it is better to fight together, and the concubine wants to reward her with some things, hoping that she will know that peace is the most important thing in the future, and stop causing trouble in the Houfu, what does the emperor think?"

Emperor Hongwu looked at her with deep eyes, and after a long while, the corners of his mouth slightly lifted, "My concubine has a big heart, is there any reason why I disagree?"

Concubine Yang Guifei was overjoyed, knowing that the emperor had approved her proposal, she immediately summoned two nuns and said, "The two of you will go back to the Hou Mansion with my niece and grandniece. Reward her with a glass of court wine in the name of her."

"Your servant obeys." The two nuns came out and retreated with the three of Yang.

Hearing this, Fu Qingyan's face changed greatly. He is not a fool, how could he not know the meaning?Just when he wanted to object, Emperor Hong Wu waved his hand and said: "Come here, first take the son to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to rest, and return to the Hou Mansion with him after Fu Yu's persuasion is effective."

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty... this matter must never be..." The two palace guards immediately took Fu Qingyan away, and Fu Qingyan's voice got farther and farther away.

Concubine Yang smiled and poured tea for Emperor Hongwu, "Your Majesty is wise, this Prince Anping is too benevolent and doesn't know that he has a great responsibility. If you don't help him make up his mind, I'm afraid that even the identity of the Yang family and himself will be lost." Do not understand."

Emperor Hongwu picked up his cup and drank tea slowly, "This matter must never be repeated, and my concubine can do it by herself."

The two then exchanged a tacit look, and the consensus of the high-ranking person's thoughts and interests has been reached.

At the entrance of the palace, two palace servants had already led Fu Yu to the Chonghua Palace, and Han Ziya was invited outside the palace gate.When Fu Yu arrived at the Sanchong Hall, he heard a shrill voice suddenly shout: "Oh, isn't this the third young master of the Fu family? Why are you free to come to the palace today?"
