Shige Lao waved his hand to signal him not to speak.
"If I don't die, how can I protect the lives of several members of the Shi family? The prince's rebellion this time was due to Duke Ding's secret plan. The prince was confused for a moment, which led to such a catastrophe."
He was surprised again. Duke Dingguo was the prince's brother-in-law, how could he harm the prince.
"Don't be surprised. I inquired secretly. Duke Dingguo also heard that the emperor wanted to depose the prince. Forced by the situation, he had to make plans for the prince."
Shi Ge spoke softly, with a sad look on his face.
"Actually, we have all been plotted. The person behind this plan is very careful and vicious. He is obviously a master. The wily and scheming Duke Dingguo has fooled him. He has been in charge of the court for decades, and he actually... Got his way."
"Father, who is he?"
Mr. Shi Ge shook his head, "You don't need to know who he is, you only need to know that the prince was wronged, the Qian family was wronged, and the Sheng family was even more wronged. You live in peace with your mother, and everything in the capital has nothing to do with it. You have nothing to do with it.”
He knelt on the ground, his hands and feet were cold, and thick cold sweat oozed from his back. He had many things to ask in his heart, but when he saw his father's head full of white hair, he couldn't even ask a word.
"My father refused to continue talking now, so the light in the study was on all night. I stayed outside all night. Before dawn in the morning, my father put on his court robe and went out. At noon, his body was carried back."
Shi Minwei had tears in his eyes and was choked with tears.
After hearing this, Qingguan's eyes were dark and he said, "Do you know how the prince plots rebellion?"
Shi Minwei gritted his teeth and said: "The emperor caught wind and cold occasionally, and the prince served him personally and brought a bowl of medicine. The queen tried the medicine, and she vomited blood on the spot after just one sip."
"Did my grandfather prescribe the medicine?" Qingguan asked.
Shi Minwei nodded: "The Ministry of Punishment conducted a secret investigation and it was indeed prescribed by Imperial Physician Qian."
"What happens next?"
"On that day, a dragon robe was found in the Prince's Mansion. Just when the Prince was complaining, the Jingji garrison received news that General Sheng, without receiving the imperial edict, led his troops into the capital. He was already hundreds of miles away."
Qingguan understood instantly.
Attacked from both inside and outside, the emperor thought they were coming for his throne, so a bloody storm broke out.
Every thread, every scene, every link, every link, the calculation is accurate. Who is hiding behind, controlling all of this
Qingguan said coldly: "Old Shige said he was being plotted, but is there any evidence?"
Shi Minwei said: "Father didn't say any evidence. But now that I think about it, there are too many strange things about the matter."
"Although the prescription was prescribed by my grandfather, who prepared the medicine and how many hands had he used it?" Qingguan said softly.
Shi Minwei said in surprise: "The young lady said that the score is not bad."
Qingguan's face was condensed: "No matter how ambitious the prince is, how can he hide the dragon robe in the palace?"
Shi Minwei was even more shocked, and he secretly gritted his teeth.
"General Sheng is guarding the troops in the northwest. How can he lead troops into Beijing without receiving the imperial decree." Qingguan said the last word with a chill in his tone.
Shi Minwei was already in admiration and fell to the ground. It took me a whole year to figure out the strangeness. The girl in front of me, who had not yet had hair extensions, discovered it in just half a cup of tea.
The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead. No wonder she was so young that even Qian Fu treated her like a slave. This woman really had something extraordinary that was beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Qingwan knew that Shi Minwei had his own secret thoughts, and the reason why she showed her intelligence was because she wanted to surrender to him.
Three Zhuge Liangs are like cobblers. With his help behind the scenes, things will go much smoother.
Shi Minwei sighed softly, "Miss Sixth, leaving aside money and the origins of the Shi family, Minwei's life was saved by Miss Sixth, and he is willing to sacrifice his life for Miss Sixth in this life."
"good!"
Qingguan's eyes were indifferent, there was no trace of joy on his face, and he only said one word lightly.
"Looking back, I will let Qian Fu tell you many things. After you listen, you only need to think of one thing for me, where to start with the Qian and Sheng families."
Shi Minwei's heart twisted and he asked word for word: "Miss Sixth, do you believe me?"
Qingguan looked at him deeply and moved her red lips lightly, "I believe you."
Shi Minwei was trembling, walked up to Qingguan, bowed deeply, and looked solemn.
The sky is dark and the moon is setting, the wind is gentle and the birds are silent.
Qingguan walked under the osmanthus tree in front of the court, looked at the bright moon above, and stood silently.
Uncle Fu followed behind and whispered: "Miss, it's late at night, it's time to go back."
Qingguan slowly turned around and said, "You heard what he said."
"The old slave heard everything clearly."
"There is one more thing I haven't told you. A few days ago, King Shou told me that my father had been killed with a knife before the Qian family's fire."
"What?"
Fu Bo was too shocked to reply. My uncle is from the Sheng family, and with his skills it is absolutely impossible... This shows.
"The fire in Qian's Mansion was by no means a natural disaster, it was actually a man-made disaster, and someone put medicine in my father's food." Qingguan's tone was cold.
"Who is it? Who has the guts?" Uncle Fu said sharply.
Qingguan did not answer, but thought to himself: "Bofu, there are many ways to die. You and I are both medical students, and we all know that no matter which way of death, there will be traces. Only fire can cover everything up. "
"Miss, what did the person who set the fire want to cover up?"
"That's a good question. I also want to know what the fire is trying to cover up, and what unknown secrets the Qian Mansion has." Qingguan's eyes darkened deeply.
Qian Fu's face was full of shock, his mouth was open and he couldn't say a word.
That night, Qingwan had nightmares one after another, and she slept very uneasily. Countless figures passed before her eyes, over and over again, and the last scene still showed her falling down after being hit by an arrow.
"ah… "
Yueniang heard the sound and hurriedly put on her clothes and came in. The lady hasn’t had a nightmare for a long time, but why did she have it again today? Could it be because he saw him
Qingguan took the warm tea from Yueniang, drank it all in one gulp, leaned against the bed and gasped: "What time is it?"
"It's five o'clock. It's still early. Miss, can you sleep a little longer?"
Qingguan shook his head and said, "Go and light the candle while I read the medical book."
Yueniang knew that the young lady had something on her mind, so she didn't dare to persuade her. She lit the candle, took her sewing frame and sat behind the bed.
The master and the servant, one reading a book and the other doing needlework, were so quiet that there was no sound at all.
In March, the weather gradually warms up.
News came out from the palace that the emperor was very dissatisfied with the gang fight in the Zhenguo Palace. He called King Shou and Prince Yin into the imperial study and cursed them. Then both sides slapped fifty big boards each and fined them a thousand taels of silver. The Analects of Confucius a thousand times.
According to reliable sources, King Shou and Prince Yin started to quarrel not long after they left the imperial study room.
One said that the longevity king stood tall but did not lift, and that men and women took it.
A slut who said Yin would follow Miss Eight and ask her sister for milk.
The scolding was so unpleasant that even the most vicious maid in the palace could not think of such a curse.
Logically speaking, a young prince would never dare to challenge the prince, but behind him there was a favored concubine. Furthermore, except for being rude to King Shou, Prince Yin was always polite at other times.
On the other hand, the Shou Wang, Diao Erlang aside, was full of problems. In addition to the eighteen concubines in the palace, he also had an unattractive bodyguard by his side, and he used Wanhua Tower as his residence.
What is right and what is wrong is clear to anyone with a discerning eye. Therefore, everyone in the world stood on the side of Prince Yin, and behind his back, only King Shou was using his power to bully others.
No, I heard that this scolding ended with King Yishou kicking Prince Yin into a smelly ditch.
Immediately, news came out from the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion that the eldest son, Qin Yuchang, took in two more beautiful aunts after his eldest son was drunk for a full moon.
The crown prince's concubine, Dong, had not finished her confinement well and was a little weak, so she handed over the power of managing the palace to her wife, Chen.
It is said that when the new aunt served tea to Mrs. Dong, Mrs. Dong's hands shook and the hot tea spilled all over her aunt's face. Everyone said that Dong's illness was serious.
The news reached Qingguan's ears, and Qingguan sneered in his heart.
It seems that the murder in the back garden must be Dong's handiwork. Qin Yuchang could not divorce his wife, so he could only use his aunt to express his dissatisfaction.
The fights and fights in the inner house were just like those in the imperial court, with the flash of swords and shadows making people feel frightened.
The two concubines were confined for ten days, and the house suddenly became quieter.
The princess originally had four daughters to learn the rules, but now there are only two left, one of which is her beloved daughter. She is too lazy to put on a show and sends people back to her room to study and embroider.
Qingguan had just come back from Shouan Chang to greet her this day, but she saw Zhang, her father's third aunt, already sitting in the hall. This is the first time Mr. Zhang has visited since entering Beijing.
Qingguan was surprised at how she came, but Mrs. Zhang handed out two embroidered handkerchiefs from her arms and said with a smile: "I embroidered these for Miss Six when I had nothing to do. The stitching is a bit rough, so Miss Six will use it."
Qingguan took it and glanced at it, and there was surprise in his eyes.
Two sides embroider handkerchiefs, one side embroiders bamboo, and the other side embroiders plum blossoms. The needle angles are dense and the embroidery pictures are lifelike. The bamboos are swaying in the wind and the plum blossoms are blooming in the snow, which makes people happy.
Yueniang and Chunni came over to take a look, and each let out an exclamation.
Yueniang's female beauty has always been good. During the years when Qingguan pretended to be crazy and acted like a fool, her clothes were all made by Yueniang stitch by stitch. Because she put so much thought into them, she never lost to the embroiderers in the house.
She looked at this simple embroidered handkerchief and sighed: "Without ten years of effort, these few stitches would probably not be possible."
Mrs. Zhang blushed slightly and said with a smile: "I learned Su embroidery from my embroiderer mother when I was four years old. I had to embroider for two hours every day before my mother would let me sleep. If I think about it carefully, it has been more than ten years."
She started learning needlework at the age of four. The life of a concubine's daughter was indeed difficult. Compared with the two in the mansion, she was like heaven and earth.
Qingguan's heart moved, and she deliberately pretended to feel distressed. She took Zhang's hand, felt her pulse on her skin with three fingers, and said lightly: "Who knew such a bright job..."
Qingguan's heart skipped a beat as her pulse reached her fingers, and she could only speak half of her words.
Zhang didn't understand what was going on, so she smiled and asked, "Why didn't Miss Six say anything?" Qingwan suddenly raised her head, glanced at Yue Niang, and covered up, "Who knows how much sweat and hard work it took to get such a bright hand."
