The miscarriage of Princess Yongning was still passed to the palace after all.
Concubine Liu was furious, and she must thoroughly investigate the matter upon hearing this. The Li family also agreed, and everyone outside has different opinions. It is said that Princess Yongning’s previous good news was passed out without being concealed for three months, so it was accepted by Lord Yan. This is just a legend, and many people have not believed it anymore. Moreover, Princess Yongning did say that she was murdered in the Li family.
The word murder is no trivial matter, which means that this is not a child that Princess Yongning accidentally lost, but a carefully planned conspiracy. Even the emperor attracted attention, and the Li family must find the murderer.
In contrast, Princess Yongning’s eldest brother Cheng Wang didn’t pay much attention. Of course, it wasn’t because Cheng Wang didn’t care about his younger sister, but because he was busy with something more important recently—forcing the palace to rebel. Therefore, the matter of Princess Yongning, Only let it go for a while.
The Li family became a target of public criticism for a while, and it was only after trying hard to find the murderer, but within two or three days, naturally there was no sign of finding out. But Princess Yongning seemed crazy, reluctant, almost from morning till night, clamoring for the Li family to come up with an explanation. She couldn't find the murderer, so she put all her anger on Li's house. It doesn't look like the big grandmother of the Li family, but like the enemy of the Li family.
At night, Princess Yongning sat in the room, her expression irritable.
Her body recovered very quickly. A miscarriage should have been a drain on her body, and she should have been weakly unable to get out of bed these few days. But in just one day, Princess Yongning recovered and was able to walk around freely. If the Li family knew she had a body, no one would believe it, and thought she had never been pregnant.
But perhaps because of this, Li Xian didn't expect Princess Yongning to regain her energy so quickly, and she seemed a little hesitate to find the murderer at the urging of Princess Yongning.
Mei Xiang came in from the outside holding the boiled soup medicine.
"The Li family didn't give an explanation today." Princess Yongning said angrily: "It's simply unreasonable!"
After the child was gone, Princess Yongning's weakness also disappeared. She became arrogant and domineering again, and everyone had to follow her. The bad temper is full.
She glanced at the decoction that Meixiang brought up. The decoction was specially eaten for her to replenish her body after a miscarriage. It was a big black bowl with a bitter fragrance of medicine. Princess Yongning looked at it, and then thought of the innocent child who had died, her heart began to ache. Things that made her even more chilling, thinking about her miscarriage nowadays, not to mention the people, at least it has been spread out in the middle of the city. Shen Yurong should also know a little bit about it, but Shen Yurong didn't come to see her, even if she just asked someone to bring a letter, it would be good to pass a word.
But no, nothing. She waited and waited, only the Li family hadn't found the whereabouts of the murderer. What was waiting was nothing.
This is Shen Yurong's flesh and blood! He didn't even think about family affection at all.
Princess Yongning felt a little sad when she thought of this. She knew that Shen Yurong was a lover, and this could be seen from how he treated his wife Xue Fangfei. But I never expected that one day, this kind of affection would also be used on myself.
The more I think about it, the more irritable, the more I think about it, the more unwilling it is. Princess Yongning asked: "Mei Xiang, can there be a message from Chen Lang today?"
Without answering for a while, she turned her head and saw Mei Xiang standing at the table, wiping the table with an uncertain expression, wiping the same area over and over again, but her eyes didn't know where to look in the air. It was obvious that the mind was not here, and Princess Yongning called out suspiciously: "Mei Xiang!"
Mei Xiang turned around in a panic, and said, "Your Highness?"
"What's the matter with you?" Princess Yongning frowned, "Is there something to hide from my palace?"
Mei Xiang has been by her side for many years, the most calm, she rarely sees such an uncertain appearance, Princess Yongning immediately becomes suspicious.
"The slave servant... The slave servant..." Mei Xiang turned around, walked to the door and looked at it. Seeing that there was no one else outside, she closed the door, went back to the house, gritted her teeth, and knelt down in front of Princess Yongning, and said: "The slave servant I just came back from the outside, passing by a hut, and heard something..."
"What's the matter?"
Mei Xiang said, when she went to get the tonic for the decoction of Princess Yongning, she passed a darkroom, and the dark room was empty. Mei Xiang had planned to walk through. For the Li family, she was not a number, because she had to take two months. Followed Princess Yongning every step of the way, and didn't have time to walk around Li's house and touch the familiar place. When Mei Xiang was about to walk through this darkroom, she heard someone talking in the darkroom. This was nothing at all. The Li family members were talking, but Mei Xiang didn't intend to eavesdrop. But in this, after hearing the name of Princess Yongning suddenly, Mei Xiang stopped, it was about her master. She saw that there was no one around, and she stood sideways behind the gap in the doorway, listening carefully to what the people inside said about herself. What is the master
One of them said: "The child in the princess's belly finally fell, but fortunately, it did. Now the eldest son does not have to work hard in the princess's antifetal medicine, and he still has no response. Speaking of which, the princess didn't drink it. Medicine? Otherwise, why would there be no movement at all? If it weren't for the ruthless hand of the old man this time, I don't know if it can be successful."
"That's not it? If she waits for her belly to get bigger, it will be difficult to use her hands again, and it will be easy to kill. Before this, how many methods have been used by our eldest son, I have tried everything on the ground, but nothing Response. If there is no movement after being pushed down the stairs this time, I will doubt if she is an ordinary person, and what magical skills have she practiced?"
The other person said again: "You keep your voice down, if someone hears it, it will be troublesome. Anyway, now this is the best result. It's done, let's not talk about it, and do things quickly. Wait a few days for the princess to make trouble, Your Highness. It soon became a scapegoat?"
Mei Xiang was terrified when she listened, and she wanted to find out more secrets, but the two of them turned around and talked about other things. There seemed to be people's footsteps in the distance, and Mei Xiang didn't dare to stop, for fear of being found in her tracks. She didn't dare to break into the house directly to expose the two people, because after all, this was the Li's house. If what these two people said was true and the murderer was Li Xian, the Li family would definitely kill them. I'm afraid they would be killed before she told Princess Yongning about it and disappeared from the world.
So she stood up pretending to be nonchalant and left gently. Continue to the kitchen to get the medicine, and then return to Princess Yongning's house. Putting down the medicine, he felt anxious, thinking about how to raise the matter with Princess Yongning.
The clue was finally discovered by Princess Yongning.
After listening to Princess Yongning, her lips trembled a few times and said: "They are so bold." Suddenly they raised her voice, "They are so bold!"
"No princess!" Mei Xiang hurriedly stopped.
Princess Yongning's eyes widened, "What are you going to do? Li Xian killed the child in this palace, and this palace wants him to pay for his life! This palace will go to Li Xian to make it clear and see what else he has to say. No wonder Now..." She sneered, "My palace just thinks that their Li family is perfunctory about finding the murderer. It turns out that the murderer is Li Xian. It's really a thief who calls and catches the thief. I'm afraid the behavior of the palace is just a joke in their eyes!"
Princess Yongning was extremely excited, Mei Xiang lowered her voice, and said, "His Royal Highness, this matter has not been confirmed. The reason why the servant girl dare not tell you at the beginning is because the servant girl does not know whether this matter is true or not. If it is someone The slave and maidservant were deliberately invited to the room to let the slave and maid hear the words, in order to put the blame on Grandpa Li. Didn't we fall into the other party's trap? Your Highness must be calm!"
"Oh?" Princess Yongning said angrily: "How do you want this palace to be calm? Now you tell this palace that Li Xian may have killed the children of this palace, or it is possible, this palace really can't calm down!"
"The slave servant didn't want to speak for the Li family, nor was it for the Li family to exonerate. It was for the princess's sake. Your Majesty, think about it, if it was the Li's hand, why did the Li do it? Isn't it Li? Doesn’t the family want grandchildren? Or are they already aware of something."
Princess Yongning was taken aback, and slowly calmed down. After a while, she said: "Li Xian must have known that this palace is not carrying the flesh and blood of the Li family. When he first looked at this palace, there was nothing in his eyes. emotion."
When the imperial physician came to the mansion for the first time to announce "good news," Princess Yongning felt that the three of Li Xian and his son were weird. Especially Li Xian, although he speaks softly and behaves very considerately, but in his eyes it is clear that there is nothing in his eyes that belongs to the joy of his father knowing that he has a child, or even a trace of disgust. At that time Princess Yongning suspected that she had read it wrong, but now that I think about it, she didn't read it wrong at all. Maybe Li Xian knew from the beginning that the child was not his own, so he was not surprised about the appearance of the child. Regarding the child's departure, he pretended to be sad, and did not shed a single tear.
"This bastard!" Princess Yongning gritted her teeth, "play this palace between applause!"
In the past two months, the lies that Princess Yongning told about this child were also extremely ridiculous in Li Xian's eyes. He knows everything clearly, but he has to pretend to be ignorant, and he has to play with Princess Yongning. In retrospect, Princess Yongning felt ridiculous herself, as if she had been tricked, without dignity.
"If Mr. Li really knew about this early in the morning, how did he know? Is there evidence, or did he hear the wind?" Mei Xiang remained calm as always, "I don't know these now."
"What do you want to say?"
"What the slave maid wants to say is that at this moment, your Royal Highness is in front of the concubine empress, and in front of the Royal Palace, it is said that Grandpa Li killed the flesh and blood in the belly of His Royal Highness. I am afraid that no one will believe it. Before that, we must pay attention to the evidence. If you use evidence to test Li Da Young Master, you will know if Li Da Young Master is the mastermind behind the scenes."
Princess Yongning asked: "How to get evidence?"
"During the conversation between the two servants in the darkroom, I heard that Grandpa Li had used various methods to hope that His Highness had a miscarriage, but in the end it was of no use. This is also because His Royal Highness was very good at protecting the little ones in the abdomen when he was in Li's house. Not to mention, the anti-fetus pills fried in the Li’s kitchen, His Royal Highness has not eaten a bowl, lest someone put the medicine in it, they are all the anti-fetus pills brought by the slaves from the princess’s mansion. But those anti-fetuses People don’t know the fetal medicine. They thought they had drunk them, but they were actually fallen by the slave under the willow tree in front of the door."
"There is still some medicine residue in those medicines, and there is a lot of accumulation. Now the servants go to dig it, and they should be able to dig out some. As long as you get it in the medicine shop and smell it to the doctor, you will know if there is any miscarriage inside. The medicine. If there is, it means that what the two people said is true. The young man Li is really going to put the little majesty to death. If the medicine scum is okay, it means that the two are lying. It is to slander Lord Li and hurt both His Royal Highness and Lord Li."
With these words, Princess Yongning couldn't fault her. After a long time, Princess Yongning said: "Okay, just listen to you. Go and dig out the medicinal materials, and take them to the drugstore tomorrow to ask them clearly. If it's not, it's fine, if Li Xian really harmed the children of the palace, Ben Even if the palace fights this life, he will still take them to the Li family to bury them together!"
Her eyes were full of revenge, Mei Xiang bowed her head and said, "Yes."
…
The incident of Princess Yongning's miscarriage has spread throughout the ruling and the public, and Shen Yurong is not unaware of it.
When he returned to Shen Mansion, he saw a carriage parked at the gate of Shen Mansion. This was the carriage of Ningyuan Hou Mansion, and Shen Ruyun was here.
He frowned, walked in, and the little servant greeted him and took off his outer garment. When they approached the room, Shen's mother and Shen Ruyun were talking in the hall, and when they saw him coming, they stood up immediately.
Shen Ruyun has come back for the first time since he married to Ningyuanhou's Mansion, except for the day after he returned to the door. She is dressed more delicately than before, and the intricate patterns on her clothes are dazzling. All of them are wearing jewelry on the head, hands, and neck, everything is bright, for fear that others will not see it.
It seems that her life is pretty good, at least the dressing is better than before, but the anxious color on her face is a lot more. After becoming a woman, she seemed to have wiped out the little delicacy that she had when she was a girl. She became a complete official lady, no different from those ladies in Yanjing City. She even looked like It's even worse.
"Big brother," Shen Ruyun stood up and said, "You know, don't you know, the princess has a miscarriage!"
Shen Yurong glanced at her, sat down, and the maid quickly poured hot tea. He picked it up and took a sip before saying blankly, "I know."
"Why don't you ask him? You should think about seeing her!" Shen Ruyun said, "Now is when she is most vulnerable."
"She is Li Xian's wife now, Grandma Li, in what capacity shall I meet her?" Shen Yurong said calmly.
"What about married someone? It's always because she only has you in her heart, and she doesn't have Li Xian."
"Shen Ruyun!" Shen Yurong said sharply.
Shen Ruyun was taken aback. Shen Yurong's tone was too harsh, but after a while, she whispered again: "It was originally, the princess treated our family well. She has been miserable because of her miscarriage. I sympathize with her. That’s what I said."
"Yes," Mother Shen couldn't help but uttered, "Yu Rong, don't blame your sister. Your sister is right. We all know the princess's feelings for you. Don't let you down. People."
Shen's mother spoke, Shen Yurong couldn't sternly accuse Shen Ruyun, and she felt weak in her heart. His family members are all vocal towards Princess Yongning, not because of the deep friendship between Princess Yongning and the Shen family, but because of the identity of Princess Yongning, who can turn him into a husband and make him a brother-in-law with Cheng Wang. In this way, he can rely on this relationship to climb up step by step, and effortlessly climb to an enviable position.
"She is married, mother." Shen Yurong reminded.
"I know, but now she has a miscarriage." Mother Shen said, "She had a miscarriage, and you have you in her heart. As long as you say a few words, she can divorce from the Li family and marry our Shen family. "
"Yes, yes, right," Shen Ruyun said warmly, "our Shen family will not be like the Li family, we will take good care of her!"
Just listening to this, people might think that this is really a warm-hearted family. Despite the fact that this woman had been married before and had children with other men, she still didn't dislike it, and was looking forward to marrying her into her own family. I still don't know that the child in Princess Yongning's stomach belongs to him.
"Don't think about it," Shen Yurong said coldly, "She won't get along, and she doesn't have to enter the door of Shen's house."
Shen Ruyun and Shen Mu froze for a moment. Shen Mu was extremely disappointed, but Shen Ruyun said: "Why? She is a princess. Isn't it her freedom to marry whom she wants to marry? The Li family did not take good care of her, so she naturally has a reason to leave. It just so happened that you had a wife, eldest brother, marrying her looks the best!"
Deng is right... Shen Yurong wanted to laugh out loud in her heart. It turned out that in the eyes of his sister, he and Princess Yongning were right. Maybe, they are just as cruel.
"There is no reason," Shen Yurong said: "It's late, you can go back." After all, he ignored Shen Ruyun, nodded with Shen mother, and left the hall and walked into the courtyard.
Behind him, Shen Ruyun was arguing with Shen's mother, and Shen Yurong didn't want to listen. In fact, his current official position is not low, but for some reason, Shen Mu and Shen Ruyun still hope that he can rely on Princess Yongning to climb up. Once upon a time, they only allowed him to study hard, frugal in order to make up enough money for him to go to school, and never complained. But now, clearly has no worries about food and clothing, but still not satisfied.
When did you become greedy? Shen Yurong didn't know, when he suddenly realized that things had reached an irreversible point, it seemed to be too late.
In order to obtain a higher position of power, his family did not hesitate to ask him to betray his dignity, even if the other party was already a married woman, they wanted him to secretly communicate with the other party. Shen Yurong also felt a little sick.
He really didn't want to get entangled in these matters, and the only thing that was gratifying recently was his child, the child in the belly of Princess Yongning was gone. As a father, Shen Yurong didn't feel any sadness. He even thanked the murderer. No matter who the other party was, he didn't care. He was just glad that the other party did him a favor.
Let him completely cut off from Princess Yongning.
…
Shen Ruyun and Shen Mu talked for the first time before getting on the carriage back home.
Ningyuan Houfu didn't care about her, not because she was Shen Yurong's sister and didn't dare to control her, but because Ningyuan Hou's son Zhou Yanbang, his husband didn't care about her existence at all, and didn't care. Therefore, no one cares whether she travels during the day or returns to her family at night.
When returning to Shen's house this time, in addition to persuading Shen Yurong to reconcile with Princess Yongning, Shen Ruyun also poured bitterness on Shen's mother fiercely.
After marrying to Ningyuan Hou's Mansion, Shen Ruyun's life was not easy. Zhou Yanbang wandered around the flower house for a long time, drinking and having fun, and only came back from the drunk drunk he drank at night. Shen Ruyun was angry when he saw her, but Zhou Yanbang treated her like a stranger at all. No matter where she was regarded as his wife, even the concubine Jiang Yu'e of the Shen family was better than Shen Ruyun.
Jiang Yu'e would stay low and be a child, be extremely considerate of Zhou Yanbang, and have countless methods to make Zhou Yanbang always entangled in his yard. Shen Ruyun wanted to attack her, but always couldn't grasp Jiang Yu'e's handle, and Jiang Yu'e escaped from her hand slippery like a loach.
Only then did Shen Ruyun discover that in the back house of the inner courtyard, she had no means. Perhaps it was because the Shen family had no female relatives, the population was simple, and the only foreigner, Xue Fangfei, was also meek and gentle. In the Shen family, Shen Ruyun had no rivals, so naturally he could not learn anything. In the strange battlefield of Ningyuanhou's Mansion, she became an unarmed person. The only thing that can be counted on is the identity of Mrs. Shizi, but Zhou Yanbang still doesn't care about this identity. It seems that whoever is the wife of the world is the same.
Probably because in Yingyingyanyan, who Zhou Yanbang knew, Shen Ruyun was born too ordinary. I thought Zhou Yanbang had no impression of Shen Ruyun until the incident at the palace banquet, which shows that Zhou Yanbang did not I like Shen Ruyun, and I don't even have a good impression.
Shen Ruyun begged Zhou Yanbang for mercy and love, and the teacher was tricked by Jiang Yu'e. Anxious and angry, she had to ask for help from Mrs. Ning Yuanhou, her mother-in-law.
While Madam Hou looked kind and comforted her, she actually asked Shen Ruyun's eldest brother, Shen Yurong, whether she could speak for Zhou Yanbang in front of the emperor, so that Zhou Yanbang could return to his official career.
Shen Ruyun and Shen Yurong mentioned this matter, but Shen Yurong refused. Her eldest brother decided that the nine cows couldn't be brought back, and Shen Ruyun had no choice but to help. After seeing this a few times, Shen Ruyun was hesitating, and Madam Hou didn't bother to care about these things. Next time Shen Ruyun came to complain, Madam Hou said that she was uncomfortable and she was too lazy.
Think about it, anyway, Zhou Yanbang has no money in his official career. He can play whatever he likes. Others can at most talk a few words behind his back, saying that people will not lose a piece of meat. Why hurt the relationship between mother and child for these little things
Shen Ruyun was really helpless, she wanted to ask Princess Yongning for help. Shen Yurong refused to help, Princess Yongning would definitely help, but Princess Yongning married the Li family at this juncture. Shen Ruyun panicked. If Princess Yongning marries the Li family and breaks contact with Shen Yurong, how far can their Shen family go, will the good days end? Therefore, she hurriedly returned to Shen's Mansion to persuade Shen Yurong that even if Princess Yongning is married, she should not draw a line with Princess Yongning.
It's a pity that her thoughts seem to run counter to her elder brother.
Shen Ruyun was not pleased, and Ningyuan Hou Mansion had no way to solve her plight, and Shen Yurong of the Shen family had such an attitude. Shen Ruyun suddenly felt that if Xue Fangfei were there, at least she would think of a solution for herself. She is so smart, there must be a way to make herself stand firm in Ningyuan Hou Mansion.
The carriage galloped away in the night, and Shen Ruyun pressed his forehead.
Xue Fangfei is dead, she shouldn't remember a dead person. Moreover, it is precisely because of Xue Fangfei's death that the Shen family is prosperous today.
She was just a little dizzy by the recent troubles, she just couldn't understand Shen Yurong more and more.
…
One day and one night, four words that sounded very short, for Princess Yongning, were too long.
Last night, Mei Xiang dug up the medicine slag under the willow tree and found a paper bag to wrap it up. During the day of the day, while shopping in the mansion in the afternoon, he went out of the house to find the medicine shop to check whether the medicine slag was really wrong. Princess Yongning stayed alone in the room, with a maid beside her, but without Mei Xiang by her side, she always felt like she lacked the backbone. Especially after learning that the Li family might be hiding a conspiracy, Princess Yongning sat alone, always feeling that dangerous moments would be by her side.
She doesn't have any trust in the Li family anymore.
From when the sky was still bright, I waited until evening. When both Li Xian and his son came back, and when Princess Yongning had used her own dinner alone, the lights in the room were all on.
Li Xian had seen her in the afternoon, and Princess Yongning guessed that Li Xian had already gone to her yard to rest. When she was waiting impatiently, the voice of Meixiang talking with the maids suddenly came from outside. Princess Yongning got up and sat up from the collapsed, and collapsed, just as Meixiang came in from the outside.
Princess Yongning waved her hands and screened the people around her, and asked Mei Xiang to close the door. Mei Xiang closed the door, and after making sure that there was no one around, took out the paper bag containing the medicine residue from her arms.
"The slave and maid went out today. In order to avoid making mistakes, she ran to several drugstores in a row to let people hear what was in the scum."
Princess Yongning hurriedly asked: "What can I find?"
Mei Xiang glanced at Princess Yongning, and said solemnly: "This medicine dregs are indeed mixed with drugs that can cause miscarriage. There will be nothing wrong at the beginning. After taking it for a month, the body will be extremely weak. As long as you walk around, you will be very weak. It's easy to be a hill, but a person who is pregnant is very aware of this change in the body."
"What those two people said is true, and Grandpa Li really wants to murder the little majesty!" Mei Xiang said.
Princess Yongning staggered back, leaning against the bedpost, and suddenly clenched her fists, her eyes almost exhaled, and she gritted her teeth and said: "Li Xian, this palace wants your dog's life!"
