Chapter 53: The peak turns

Views:

Everyone thought they would see an old doctor with white beard, bright eyes, and respected morals, but when the door opened, a drunk young man came in from the outside.

Concubine Huigui smiled: "Is this a famous doctor in Jiangnan?"

Ye Tianshi slowly raised his head, he had a very handsome face, not like a famous doctor, but like a popular actor, looking to provoke bees and butterflies. It seemed that he had drunk too much, and looked at Concubine Hui Gui, then Concubine Xian, and the maids around, and finally fixed on Wei Yingluo's face.

"Ye Tianshi!" Hongli frowned, "I asked you to treat the disease, you don't see the patient, what are you looking at?"

"Your Majesty's forgiveness." I don't know if he was talking drunk or sincere, but he laughed, "This room is full of flowers, colorful and red, and the grass people are dumbfounded!"

Hongli immediately turned gloomy.

Wei Yingluo didn't expect this famous doctor in Jiangnan to die like this. For fear that he would be pulled out by Hongli and beheaded in the next second, she hurriedly walked over with her younger brother in her arms: "Please doctor Ye see a doctor for your younger brother!"

"Oh, oh, okay, okay." Ye Tianshi replied happily, looking more and more like a drunk.

It's just that when his eyes fell on the little brother, the frivolity and frivolity on his body were immediately swept away, and even the blur in his eyes disappeared in an instant, becoming clear and clear.

After a while, he made a diagnosis: "Little brother has jaundice."

"Impossible!" Concubine Huigui immediately shouted, "It's not that I have never seen a child with jaundice, but I have never seen even a golden pupil!"

Ye Tianshi glanced at her and said indifferently, "That's the mother who lived in the deep palace for a long time and was ignorant."

Concubine Hui Gui was trembling with anger, and gave the imperial physician a fierce wink, but the imperial physician could not, so she had to come out and say: "I will not be ignorant when waiting for the imperial physician, and ordinary children's jaundice only appears on the face, neck, and limbs, how have I seen it spread? to the pupil?"

"The jaundice in children you mentioned is congenital, and even if it is not treated, it will recover on its own after seven days. But the jaundice of little brother is pathological, and it is often related to the severe cholestasis of the puerpera-" Seeing the disbelief on the faces of everyone Ye Tianshi simply smiled, "Let's do it, Caomin opens a pair of yellow-relief recipes, and if you keep it for half a month, the yellow on the little brother's body will all fade away! If not, the emperor can take the head on Caomin's neck as much as possible. go!"

If a person dares to take his own head as collateral, he must have a 100% certainty in his heart.

Concubine Huigui's face was ugly, but Wei Yingluo breathed a sigh of relief.

No, it's not over yet.

"Chen and concubine respectfully invite the emperor to be holy!"

Concubine Chun came in suddenly from outside, followed by two eunuchs, one after the other, carrying a stretcher, and on the stretcher was a corpse that had just died.

"Ah!" Concubine Huigui hurriedly raised her sleeves to cover her eyes, unable to bear to stare.

Concubine Chun stopped and smiled at her: "The concubine is not afraid when she kills, but why is she afraid when she sees the corpse?"

Hearing that there was something in her words, Concubine Hui hurriedly put down her sleeves and said, "Concubine Chun, what do you mean?"

"Prince Concubine." Concubine Chun turned her body to one side, let go of the stretcher behind her, and pointed at the corpse above, "Do you still recognize this person?"

Concubine Huigui only glanced at it, and then withdrew her gaze: "I don't know."

"This person is the Mongolian chef of the Royal Tea Restaurant." Concubine Chun stared at her, "and also the person who made food for the noble people."

After saying that, she clapped her hands, and a palace maid came in from the outside holding the food box. Concubine Chun lifted the lid of the food box and pointed to the layers of scones inside: "This chef cooks the food, and the concubine also instructs people to bring it. coming!"

"Huh? I'll take a look." Ye Tianshi stepped forward, picked up a scones, looked left and right, and finally brought the scones to his mouth and took a bite under the surprised eyes of everyone.

Are you not afraid of poison? The crowd roared in their hearts.

Ye Tianshi puffed out his cheeks and said while chewing: "buckwheat noodles, beef, mutton..."

With a grunt, he swallowed what was in his mouth, and then looked at everyone: "Besides this scones, what else does that noble person like to eat?"

"Sugar cake." This is what Wei Yingluo said. Changchun Palace and Yonghe Palace are on good terms. She is often sent by the queen to visit Yu Guiren, and sometimes she is kept for meals. Naturally she knows what Yu Guiren likes to eat." All kinds of sugar cakes, almost no staple food."

"I understand, I understand!" Ye Tianshi slapped his thigh sharply, "I understand where little brother got sick!"

"Oh?" Hongli looked at him, "Go on."

"Your Majesty, don't overdo everything, over three percent of the medicine is poison, and the same goes for food." Ye Tianshi replied, "For example, you can eat this sugar cake and meat-filled scones once a day, but not twice a day. For months on end, this is overkill!”

"Doctor Ye, what do you mean..." Wei Yingluo asked tentatively, "Because of overdose on scones and sugar cakes, the fifth elder brother is born with yellowish color?"

If it really is what he said, then this matter is not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster.

"Concubine Chun!" Hongli looked down at the corpse on the stretcher and said coldly, "Why did this person die?"

"There is a lesson from the fourth brother's previous experience, the concubine naturally doubted the food of the noble people, and ordered people to investigate first. Who would have guessed that as soon as they arrived at the Royal Tea Restaurant, they would have committed suicide in fear of sin!" Speaking of this, Concubine Chun's eyes were out of the corner of the eye. Sweeping in the direction of Concubine Hui Gui, "If you ask who is the mastermind behind the scenes, and see who insists on burying Fifth Brother alive, it will be clear at a glance!"

"Concubine Chun, you are spitting blood!" Concubine Huigui said sharply.

There is no basis or evidence, but relying on the one-sided words of Concubine Chun can indeed be regarded as bloody.

But there is a saying that three people become tigers, and there are many people who speak in unison, and the truth can be made into the truth, and the blood can also be sprayed.

"Your Majesty, the fifth brother is just a baby in the swaddle, what's the sin, unless someone sees that he was born safely." Wei Yingluo said suddenly, the little brother in his arms was like a milk cat, sobbing faintly, " Thinking about it carefully, since the time when the noble person was pregnant, the concubine and the concubine were in trouble everywhere. First, they were frightened by the imperial garden, and then the lychee feast was repeated. Brother, it would be unconvincing to say that this matter has nothing to do with her."

"Stinky girl, stop slandering this palace!" Concubine Huigui said anxiously, "Your Majesty, just relying on a corpse will convict the concubine, and the concubine will never accept it! Who knows if he was forced to die and framed on purpose? Concubine!"

"Prince Concubine, at this point, you still don't want to give up your defense." Concubine Chun sighed.

Concubine Huigui stared at her fearless face, and a trace of fear gradually grew in her heart.

However, Concubine Chun took out a letter from her bosom and presented it to Hongli together with a few ingots of gold: "Your Majesty, the concubine ordered someone to search the Imperial Tea Restaurant and found a blood book and twenty taels of gold. It can be seen that this person had a hunch, and left evidence first!"

Hongli took the letter and unfolded it to see that there was actually a bloody page inside. Someone wrote with blood on his finger: The one who kills and silences the mouth must be the master of Chuxiu Palace!

Concubine Huigui only felt the darkness in front of her eyes, her body could not help shaking, Zhilan hurriedly reached out to help, but she pushed Zhilan away and ran towards Hongli: "Fake, the concubine has never seen this person, fake, he is fake, This letter is also false!"

Hongli raised his hand, avoiding the hand she stretched out, and then coldly ordered: "From now on, Concubine Hui Gui is imprisoned in Chuxiu Palace. It is against my will, and no one is allowed to enter or leave!"

After he finished speaking, he seemed to be unable to bear the smog in the palace any longer, so he raised his feet and left.

"Niang Niang, Niang Niang!" Zhilan's cry came from behind, "Your Majesty, Niang Niang passed out!"

Her cry could not stop Hongli's footsteps.

"Your Majesty!" A figure seemed to have been waiting at the door. As soon as he saw him, he rushed over and knelt in front of him, stopping his footsteps, "This servant wants to sue someone!"

Hongli was upset, and another one came. He couldn't help but say coldly: "Who are you going to sue?"

It was Mingyu who was kneeling in front of him, and Mingyu knelt down and said: "Previously, the noble concubine wanted to execute the fifth brother, and one person took out the queen's golden seal to stop her, but in fact, the queen's concubine never granted the golden seal, This person is clearly a fake emissary!"

"Oh?" Hong Li said lightly, "Who is this person?"

Mingyu raised her head: "Wei Yingluo."

"Wei Yingluo..." Hongli turned his head slowly and looked at the girl with the baby in his arms behind him, "Do you know the guilt?"

This child is also strange, whoever holds it will cry, but in her arms, at most, she only sobs lightly, as if she knows who can be trusted and who sincerely protects him. Wei Yingluo knelt down with the child in her arms, afraid of shocking him, she whispered softly: "Your Majesty, you are the one who deserves death. You deceived the noble concubine, please forgive the emperor."

"Deceiving the imperial concubine?" Hongli suddenly heard something in her, "Didn't you deceive me?"

"How dare the servants use the empress's golden seal, this is a serious crime of falsely spreading the decree." Wei Yingluo said obediently, "But under the circumstances at the time, if the servants did not protect the nobleman and the fifth brother, they would not be able to wait for the emperor. Now, for the safety of the nobles and the elder brother, the servants can only take risks! Of course, the servants deceived the noble concubine, and they did make mistakes, please forgive the emperor."

Her words seemed to be respectful, but nothing she did was respectful.

Hongli looked at her and didn't speak, suddenly raised his hand and pointed: "Drag her down, and punish her for fifty!"

The eunuchs swarmed up, and Mingyu was at a loss for a while before shouting in a panic, "Why, how could it be me? Your Majesty, your Majesty spare your life!"

Since there is no golden seal in the brocade box, then Mingyu's move is a glaring frame-up. This is not the most serious, but the most serious is that her intentions were seen through by Hongli - she tried to use Hongli to deal with her own thorn in Wei Wei. Wreaths.

Do you think we should fight

Hongli gave Wei Yingluo a stern look, this is also a guy who should be beaten, but he couldn't find a reason to deal with her for a while, so depressed, he had to walk away.

The rest of the people also left, and Concubine Chun walked halfway, but saw Wei Yingluo silently flashing to her side, and said in a voice that only two people could hear: "Concubine Chun, can you take a step to speak?"

Concubine Xu Shichun was in a good mood, or perhaps because she was a celebrity in front of the queen, Concubine Chun raised her hand and waved away the palace servants beside her, and walked with Wei Yingluo to the side hall.

"The servant dares to ask a question." In order to avoid having ears on the wall and dreaming more at night, Wei Yingluo said straight to the point, "Is it because of Concubine Huigui that the fifth elder brother developed jaundice?"

Concubine Chun looked at her with a half-smile.

"When I saw the Mongolian chef's body, the servant felt a little strange. If you want to kill people, why choose at this critical moment? Isn't it true?" She didn't answer, Wei Yingluo said to herself, "And The imperial concubine really wants to kill people, how can she handle it so uncleanly, and let him leave a blood letter?"

"You clearly know that there is something wrong with this matter, why did you say those words so that Concubine Huigui was punished so severely?" Concubine Chun asked suddenly.

She originally came to question her, but she didn't want her to question herself. Wei Yingluo was silent for a moment before slowly answering: "The child is innocent, if she is safe, then the little brother will have an accident. Comparing the two, I naturally We can only let the imperial concubine have an accident, so as to keep the little brother."

"It's just a moment of peace." Concubine Chun smiled faintly, "This child was born in the Forbidden City, and he was destined to be involved in the struggle for power. If he died young, it was his life. Even if he grew up successfully, he would have to face the death-and-death struggle for succession. Fight. To enjoy brocade clothing and jade food, you must pay the price!"

Wei Yingluo stared at her.

Although she didn't say it explicitly, between the lines, it was almost the same as admitting that she used the Mongolian cook and the younger brother to frame the concubine Huigui.

"... Yingluo can understand what the pure concubine said, but she doesn't agree." Wei Yingluo said slowly, "Ferocious beasts will eat young cubs. If people start with young children, how is it different from beasts? Please forgive Yingluo. Farewell!"
