Chapter 91
Because the Crown Princess moved the fetal gas should not be bumpy, after the doctor injected the needle, the speed of the car slowed down. By the time the driver arrived in Beijing, it was already dark.
Gongzhong Tai Hospital got the news a long time ago and sent two more doctors and a female medical officer to wait in the East Palace. The Crown Princess was carried in by the Crown Prince himself. The entourage followed quietly in.
The Empress Dowager Zhao did not go in and stayed outside to appease the officials and their families. All of a sudden, it was related to the crown princess and the heir of the crown prince. It was not convenient for others to ask questions at this time, and no one dared to mention the matter of going back home. The Empress Dowager Zhao had seen many big winds and waves, and no matter how much outsiders guessed at this time, she only did nothing, smiled to appease the people, and secretly tapped a few words not to be passed on indiscriminately, and just told everyone to go home.
An Changqing's car also made a U-turn and headed for the imperial mansion of the Northern War.
When he arrived at the house, he listened to the guard to report that Kui er had brought back the news and was waiting in the study. An Changqing had a meal, and then changed his way to the study.
Kuiji is already waiting.
"what do you got?" An Changqing asked.
The scene of the princess is really complicated and elusive. But he also had a hunch that there must be something wrong with it, but he just couldn't figure it out.
Kui er handed a prescription to an Changqing: "when I was at the Hongfa Temple, my subordinates kept staring at the crown princess, but the princess did not see any change, but her maidservant privately went to the little monk who managed the medicine in the temple, saying that she had suffered from a fever. He asked the little monk for several kinds of medicine, and said that he was afraid that the master would not ask her to serve when he knew she was ill. Tell the little monk not to talk about the fever."
There are several medicines for typhoid fever, and it is not surprising that fever needs to be used. But Kui er is out on a mission and knows a little about medicine. Among the medicines she took, in addition to several medicines for treating fever, there were also several medicines that would not be used, which seemed to be a cover-up. Kui er sensed that there was something wrong inside, so he paid more attention to the maidservant when he was stalking. Later, while the maid was frying the medicine according to the prescription, she wrote down the prescription-it was really not a prescription for fever.
"the subordinate of that prescription didn't know him. After staring at the maidservant who sent the fried soup to the princess's residence, he went to the Yamashita drugstore and asked two or three shops, and the doctor just recognized it and said that it was some earthwork handed down among steady women. It is specially designed to cover up the month for some pregnant women who are having an affair with others. "
"cover up the month?" An Changqing's eyelids jumped when she heard this, and her intuition was about to come out.
Kui er continued: "Yes." The doctor said that after taking this medicine, the woman was three or four months pregnant, and when the doctor took the pulse, he could only see that she had just become pregnant. It's just that the medicine is cold and strong and extremely harmful to the body. There are also women who can't stand the medicine after using it, miscarriage or one corpse or two lives. "
Today, the Crown Princess has the sign of having a miscarriage.
The missing link was made up, and an Changqing finally figured out the reason why the crown princess was pregnant but did not report it. It's just that he never expected that the child was not the prince's.
The Crown Princess lives in the East Palace for a long time and will not leave the palace at leisure. Even out of the palace, it is also full of guards, where does she get the opportunity to have an affair with others and return the beaded fetus secretly?
Unless the person is in the East Palace, that is to say, he has a chance to get in and out of the East Palace.
Tapping her fingers on the table, an Changqing mused for a long time and said, "keep an eye on the East Palace and check if there are close guards around the crown princess.". " After a pause, he added: "by the way, notice that in the past three or four months, some outsiders frequently go in and out of the East Palace."
Kui er took orders and left, but an Changqing felt frightened.
If this matter is brought to light, I am afraid it will cause an uproar. The crown princess was personally ordered by the queen. her father, Jiang Yuzhong, was Minister of the Guards Temple Qing, who was in charge of the defense of the palace, while her mother, Zhao, was the cousin of Empress Zhao. Because of this relationship, the Chiang family and Zhao family have been linked together in recent years.
Once the matter of the Crown Princess comes out, it will shake even if it is in the front and the harem.
An Changqing thought about it, but in the end, he temporarily suppressed the matter and wrote in the letter that he was not relieved. If the situation rashly pierces the matter, it may cause a lot of coquettish, which is not good for them. After thinking about it for some time, he simply stood still, ready to wait for Xiao Zhige to come back and discuss it.
Xiao Zhige's trip to Yuzhou was not smooth.
After arriving in Yuzhou, he read the decree and temporarily detained Shu Lianting as an imperial envoy. Shu Lingting unexpectedly did not resist too much, but kept shouting about the injustice and wanted to meet his Majesty and confront him in the army.
Xiao Zhige had planned to take him back to Beijing afterwards, so he agreed to his request. For the time being, he was detained in the general's house and closely guarded by troops. On the other side, people were sent to make secret visits to verify whether Shu Lianting really had the intention of rebellion.
From his selfish point of view, he felt that Shu Linting should not have made such a stupid decision. After all, the imperial concubine Shu is his sister, and the third prince is his nephew, who helps his nephew to snatch it. In the future, the family of Baoshu is famous, which is far less risky and has a much higher chance of winning than colluding with Xiyang.
Few of the rebellious courtiers and thieves have come to a good end through the ages. With such a cautious disposition, I wouldn't dare to put all my eggs in one basket.
It's just that although there is some speculation in his mind, he still has to go through the formalities. After searching the general's mansion, and interrogating the subordinates of the mansion, Shu Lingding's confidant subordinates were investigated and questioned one by one. When this show came down, we did find a little evidence that Shu Ling stopped colluding with Xiyi-- a servant explained that Shu Ling had seen Shu Ling stop sending an alien man out of the house in the middle of the night. According to the description of the appearance, there are indeed the characteristics of the western dung people.
Xiao Zhige took his testimony to Shu Ling to stop. At first, he refused to say that he would not open his mouth until he saw the emperor. Xiao Zhige will not be polite to him, using some means to let him speak.
Shu Lingting finally admitted that he did have dealings with the Western dung people, but it was not an intention to rebel, but the envoys of the Western Emperor took the initiative to find him and wanted to meet Emperor Anqing through him and make a deal with Dahu.
"the Naxi dung man claimed to be the emissary of the Empress Dowager and wanted me to take him to the holy man. They said that they were willing to take the secret treasure of the West as the price, in exchange for sending troops to help their king regain the monarchy and eradicate the rebellious minister Xue Wuyi and his henchmen. " Shu Ling stopped and said, "of course I won't believe him easily and ask him to come up with gifts and evidence." He showed me the pledge, which was indeed an order from the Empress Dowager of the Western Empress Dowager, and I kept him for the time being. "
From the moment he mentioned the secret treasure of Xiyi, Xiao Zhige's eyes sank and he continued to ask quietly, "where is the envoy now?" What is the secret treasure of Xiyi? How does the king know if you are making it up to exonerate yourself? "
"I have arranged for him to live in another house of mine, but the secret treasure has not yet been found out, and the other party insists on speaking to his Majesty in person." Shu Ling stopped showing a bit of reluctance, and his original plan was to get the clue of the secret treasure of Xiyi from the envoys, and then hand it over to the third prince to the Emperor Anqing, which would be a great achievement. But unexpectedly, before he could get the information out, there was a traitor on his own side. He even used it to fabricate evidence of his intention to rebel.
After Xiao Zhige carefully observed his look and made sure that he really did not know what the secret treasure of Xiyi was, he asked about the location of the house where the envoy was placed, and took people to look for the envoy.
The envoy was waiting for the news in this house these days. He looked different from the Dazi people, and Shu Lingting wouldn't let him go out at will.
Shu Ling stopped without movement these days, and he was wondering if he wanted to be urged, when he saw Xiao Zhige coming in with a group of men looking pale.
He looked frightened for a moment, then quickly said in big words that he was a guest of General Shu.
"are you an envoy sent by the Empress Dowager?" Xiao Zhige looked at him with a bad look.
The other party seemed to be stunned for a moment, then nodded quickly and said tentatively, "are you sent by General Shu?"
Xiao Zhige coldly hooked his lips: "Yes, General Shu asked me to ask you what the secret treasure is."
The envoy was a little afraid of him, but thought that maybe Shu Linting was tired of waiting, so he deliberately sent someone to intimidate him. He calmed down and said firmly, "I have already told General Shu that I will not say anything until I see his Majesty the Emperor of your country."
". Then I'm relieved. " Confirming that Shu Lingting really knew nothing, Xiao Zhige looked completely cold, and as soon as the silver blade flashed in his hand, he saw the envoy's eyes widened, covered his neck and gasped for breath, and then fell to the ground and lost his vitality.
"take the body to Xichang and give it to Xue who has no clothes. Be careful not to be found out. "
"Yes."
Xiao Zhige went out with people, but came back empty-handed. Shu Ling stopped to hear him say that he had found no one in the house, and there was doubt in his heart-- he suspected that Xiao Zhige had deliberately let go of the envoy of Xiyi, so that he could not have a witness and take advantage of the opportunity to get rid of him.
There was a dispute in his heart, and Shu Lingting, who had become a prisoner, did not want to argue with him about the whereabouts of the envoy. As long as he could return to Beijing, he could exonerate himself. After a moment of silence, he hated and said, "even if I can't find the emissary of Xiyi, I still have proof." All you have to do is escort me back to Beijing to make noodles. "
He did not ignore the guard in his eyes, but Xiao Zhige was not ready to conflict with him now, only nodded coldly, and three days later, he led the man to leave for Beijing.
From Yuzhou to Yujing, you need to cross the rugged mountains, and it takes about three days to take the official road. Accompanied by Dali Temple officials, the journey slowed down a lot when they were not on their way day and night.
On the first night of the return trip, they camped at the foot of the mountain to trim, and after a simple meal of dry food, they were ready to have a rest-- that's when the accident happened.
The back of the mountain suddenly rolled down more than a dozen boulders, and then a group of masked bandits came over with knives. The moves are fierce and go straight to the point.
The Guards were forced to disperse by the boulders, failed to react, and soon saw blood.
Xiao Zhige fended off the machete behind him and calmly commanded the rest of the Guards to counterattack. It was just that these mountain bandits were well-trained and numerous, and the Guards had to protect officials who could not use force on the one hand, and they had to protect officials who could not use force at the same time. Under the constraints of the left and right, they soon showed signs of decline. Seeing that the situation was wrong, Xiao Zhige released the arrows of contact, and soon the hundred guards who had been following them not far away rushed over.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the other party killed a few more people and then quickly evacuated.
"the poor enemy chased him and first saw how many people were injured."
Having stopped the forbidden guard who wanted to pursue, Xiao Zhige gave a look at the commander of the guard, and several people at the end of the line quietly chased the mountain bandits in the direction of their retreat in the potential darkness.
Others counted the number of people to check the wounded.
Most of the accompanying officials were injured. Xiao Zhige looked around and did not see Shu Lingting, and his face solidified: "where is General Shu?"
It was dark and chaotic, and no one noticed Shu Linting. When Xiao Zhige asked, they realized that they had not seen Shu Lingting all the time. After lighting a torch and looking for it, they found Shu Ling in a coma in the grass not far away. Shu Ling, who was in chains, was pinned down on his leg and foot by a boulder. In addition, there was a knife wound through his chest on his back.
Xiao Zhige came forward to explore the breath, the person is not dead, moved the boulder, slightly bandaged the wound to stop the bleeding, immediately made a decision to take advantage of the night to find the village and town, found a doctor to treat his injury.
Fortunately, although Shu Ling stopped the injury, the knife missed the point and barely saved his life. The accompanying officials were so frightened that they managed to calm down and asked Xiao Zhige, "does your Majesty know who these people are?"
"although he is dressed as a mountain bandit, he is not looking for money, and the knife is deadly, and he is more like a trained killer."
Shaoqing of Dali Temple also saw some and hesitated and said, "then this is for General Shu.". Or are you here, my lord? "
Xiao Zhige's eyes were slightly cold and said, "I think it's more for the two of us." If you can kill one, you can kill one.
It's just that the other side underestimated his strength, and he didn't expect that he had secretly brought a helper to accompany him.
The Shaoqing of Dali Temple opened her mouth and wanted to say anything else, then hesitated and swallowed it back. He felt that it was difficult for him to get involved, so he said, "what should I do next?"
Xiao Zhige said: "in order to prevent complications, hurry back to Beijing as soon as possible." We will discuss the rest when we return to Beijing. "
The author has something to say:
Here you are (whispering):. The prince is green and likes to be a father. Shall we tell him?
Countenance (schadenfreude): no, I think he's happy to be a father.
