The flower room of King Yan's Mansion gave Yuchen a pot of peonies. This peony has upright branches and lush leaves. The blooming flowers are big, bright in color, and beautiful in shape, and they put a strong fragrance in the room.
Yuchen frowned. Her favorites were plum blossoms, camellia and magnolia flowers, but she was mediocre with peony. But what Peony represents is graceful and luxurious. If she says she doesn't like it, she will be criticized by those who are interested.
In fact, the biggest difference between Yuchen and Yuxi is that Yuchen cares too much about fame, while Yuxi never cares about what others say.
A Bao was picked up by the nanny, and as soon as he entered the room he said cheerfully: "Mother, the house smells good." After speaking, his eyes fell on the peony.
Yuchen pointed to the peony and said, "Abao, this is the peony, the king of flowers." It is also the flower of wealth.
A Bao said cheerfully, "Mother, I know." Yuchen didn't like the peony, but A Bao liked it very much.
Upon seeing this, Yuchen asked the maid to put the peony plant in Abao's bedroom. As for Achi, because he was already three years old, he asked his husband to enlighten him after the Lantern Festival, and he moved to the front yard. Only come here in the morning and evening to ask for peace, and there is no one on weekdays.
Shixiang opened the curtain, walked quickly to Yuchen's side, and said: "Niangniang, there is a message from the government of Gangguo that the old man has passed away." Han Jingyan's life and death did not affect Yuchen. But as a daughter, she must be crying.
Yu Chen paused and asked: "What did you say? Father passed away?" Seeing Shixiang nodding, Yu Chen asked with a sullen expression: "What's going on? It was not all right for the first two days, so why suddenly Passed away?" There must be a problem here.
Shi Xiang shook his head and said, "Manny, the specific slave and maid are also unclear. People only said that the old lady died of illness, but nothing else."
Madam Gui said hurriedly: "Niang Niang, quickly change your clothes and take a look. If you have any questions, you will find out when you go to the Guogong Mansion."
Yuchen immediately went into the house and changed into a white filial dress, and also changed A Bao's plain clothes.
When Grandma Gui saw this, she knew that Yuchen wanted to take Abao over, and she hurriedly persuaded: "Manny, we don't know what is going on in the Guogong Mansion now. It is not suitable to take the prince and the princess over there for the time being." It is almost certain that there must be a problem with Han Jingyan's death. Before that, it was not a good thing to bring A Bao and A Chi.
Yuchen thought for a while and said, "Mother stayed to take care of Abao." She was not relieved when it was handed over to others.
When he arrived at Guogong's mansion, Yuchen found a mess in the mansion. The maid-in-law scurrying around, there is no tactic. Yuchen was so angry that her face was ashen, and she asked the manager: "Where is your wife?" The house was messed up like this, and Lu Shi, the mistress of the house, had an unshirkable responsibility.
Guan Shi said with a bitter face: "Mrs. Shi Zi fell ill a few days ago and has never been well. These days, Madam Seven has been the housekeeper." Han Jianxing's daughter-in-law, Li, was married after Han Jingyan became the grandfather of the country. . Because Han Jingyan's superior methods are really disgraceful, and anyone who knows about this is not ashamed to associate with him, so Han Jianxing can't marry a girl who is not home to others.
At that time, Han Jiancheng meant that as long as the woman had a good character and temperament in all aspects, her family background would almost be successful. But Han Jingyan was unwilling, and appointed Han Jianxing, the niece of Changping Hou Ji's niece, Li. This Li was also a girl from a family of officials. Her father had served as the prefect of Yangzhou and his family was very solid. However, Li's temperament is arrogant and has a bad reputation in the capital. At that time, Han Jiancheng insisted on opposing it, but it was Han Jingyan who was in charge of the house, and Han Jianxing was also willing to meet with Li, so in the end Li was still married. After marrying over, he stumbled Lu Yao several times. At that time, the Lu family was still in power, and Lu Yao himself was a man of means, so he cleaned up the Li family severely. Since then, Li has been honest, and dare not come to mess with her again. This time, when Han Jingyan asked her to take care of the housekeeper, the Li family tried hard to toss, and there was no way to toss completely by his own temperament. Not only did several housekeepers complain, but even the housekeeper had a headache.
Upon hearing this, Yu Chen's face was a little ugly. Then Li's is an embroidered pillow, except for a face that can be seen, nothing else can be grasped. Let her take care of the funeral. In the end, it is estimated that this funeral will become a conversational resource for people in Beijing.
Yuchen walked to the door of Han Jingyan's courtyard and heard a cry for help inside. When Yu Chen walked in, she saw the maid-in-law tied a piece, and her face became more ugly.
Seeing Yuchen, Li came over hurriedly and said, "Sister Sister, you are back! Just now the doctor found out that quinoa was put in the tonic that father father drank..." The reputation of that medicine was once again forgotten by Li. . However, Lee reacted very quickly, and he paused and said immediately: "The doctor said that this thing is placed in pharmacology, and the tonic becomes a poison.
She knew it was wrong, otherwise the people who were so good would be gone. Yuchen didn't look at the group of people who knelt on the ground and cried, but asked, "Where is the doctor?"
The doctor came quickly and saw Yu Chen kneeling on the ground: "See the side concubine empress."
Yuchen said with a cold face: "My younger siblings just said that the tonic my father was drinking turned poison. What's the matter?" Although she had been chilled with Han Jingyan, she could not let her father die unclearly, she must Find out the murderer behind the scenes.
The doctor also felt that he was unlucky, and unexpectedly encountered such a thing: "Hui Niangniang, the tonic of the grandpa contains salvia, and I just checked the dregs of the tonic that the grandpa eats and found that there is quinoa in the dregs. Lu." After speaking, the doctor explained to Yuchen: "Salvia and Veratrum are incompatible with these two medicines. Taking these two medicines together will be fatal. The old man's body is already weak, so after taking this medicine..." The doctor did not continue to say anything afterwards. , I believe Yuchen? I understand.
Yuchen now understood why Li had tied up the maids, and the person who was doing hands and feet in the medicine must be among these people.
The guy who was tied up heard the doctor's words and cried out in unison. One of the women said loudly: "Niang Niang, my grandfather's medicine was boiled by that cheap girl Bai Zhu. She must have put something in the medicine. Niangniang, regardless of the slave and maidservant's affairs, please beg Niangniang for her life." People are trying to save their lives. , I can't care about anything.
Yuchen was buzzing with noise and instructed the housekeeper Gao Sheng to say: "Take everyone down and try them one by one." There are only a few people in total, and they can always be tried.
Yan Wushuang went out from the palace and heard the news of Han Jingyan's death as soon as he entered the door of the house. Yan Wushuang stopped and said, "I was ill yesterday, but I am gone today?" How can this be wrong!
Uncle Tang shook his head and said, "I don't know what's going on for the time being. The side concubine has already taken the maid back to the National Palace for the funeral, and there must be news soon." Han Jingyan has no power and power, only the false name of the grandfather of the country. , If someone wants to harm him, he can't justify it.
Yan Wushuang was not a person willing to sit and wait. He thought for a while and said, "I'll take a look." Intuition is wrong.
When he arrived at the Guogong Mansion, Yan Wushuang soon knew that Han Jingyan had died abnormally. Yan Wushuang said to Yuchen, "Bring these people to me for trial!"
Yuchen didn't understand why Yan Wushuang became so enthusiastic. It was Yan Wushuang who didn't mention his father on weekdays, and didn't like her going back to her natal home. Yuchen nodded and said, "Okay." With Yan Wushuang's presence, her father's funeral would be more successful.
When leaving, Yan Wushuang said to Yuchen: "Although Han Yuxi was adopted, the grandpa is her biological father. Now that the grandpa is gone, the government should send someone to tell her."
Yuchen's face froze, but she didn't dare to resist Yan Wushuang: "I'll talk to Jiancheng about this later." The Guogong Mansion will send the letter to it, which won't make people think too much.
When Han Jiancheng heard that he was asked to send someone to report to Yuxi, he smiled bitterly and said, "San Jie, even if she tells her that Dad has passed away as Si Jie, she will not come back to express condolences." Not to mention Si Jie and Dad. Having turned against each other, it is impossible for the fourth sister to return to Beijing.
Yuchen also knew that Yuxi would not return to Beijing: "This is the prince's order, you just do it." After a pause, Yuchen said again: "You send the news of Dad's death to Gaocheng, what will she do? About her." No one knows better than Yuchen, Yuxi has no feelings for her father since she was a child. Now that Dad is dead, I'm afraid Yuxi won't shed a tear.
Han Jiancheng now knew that Yan Wushuang was deliberately embarrassing the fourth sister. Although he felt that this was a bit tricky, people had to bow their heads under the eaves: "Okay, I will send people to the northwest to deliver the letter." Anyway, given his fourth sister's ability, no one can make her suffer.
Yuchen said bluntly: "The funeral cannot be entrusted to Li, otherwise Dad's funeral will become the laughing stock of the capital." When the time comes, their children's faces will also be dull.
Han Jiancheng nodded and said, "I will let Lu's take care of his father's funeral." Han Jingyan is dead, he is the largest in the Guogong's mansion, and Lu does not need to pretend to be sick anymore.
Yu Chen said with a hum, "It's fine if you have success in your heart. If you have any difficulties, tell me. Daddy's funeral must be done smoothly."
Han Jiancheng pursed his mouth, shook his head and said, "No." If there was not enough money, he went to be something. He didn't have any valuable objects in his hand, but the calligraphy and paintings and antiques in his father's study and bedroom were still very valuable. When the time comes, he will take a few of them, and the money will be collected.
In the evening, Yuchen returned to the palace. Not long after returning to the palace, Yan Wushuang came over.
Yuchen stood up hurriedly and asked, "Master, who wants to kill my father?" There are not many people who have feuded with his father, and the hatred is not deadly. Yuchen thought about it for a long time, but couldn't think of who was responsible for it.
Han Jingyan looked at Yuchen and said, "It has been found out that the person who added the veratrum to the medicine is your father's personal servant Baimei. This servant bought the mansion from Renya more than a month ago, more than half a month ago. Serve me close." She said she was a close-knit girl, rather than a bed-warmer. Han Jingyan is really brave, even people who don't know the details dare to call them personally. As long as you have the heart, it's easy to kill him.
Yuchen knew something about Han Jingyan, and immediately heard what Yan Wushuang meant. Yuchen said, "Who is the master behind the scenes?" This Baimei is at most a chess piece.
Yan Wushuang shook his head and said, "No matter how tortured, she would not say anything. In the end, she was tortured and died." The truth is that Baimei confessed that her brother was arrested, and those people used her brother's life to force her to stay. Han Jingyan's pharmacology and medicine.
Yan Wushuang followed Baimei's confession to investigate, and quickly grabbed the man. But when they found this person, this person was already dead, besides some small bloody clothes were found in the room.
The person's background, Xi Yan Wushuang, was also quickly found. This person was Han Jingyan's former classmate. He had a dispute with Han Jingyan when he was studying in the academy, and was discounted by Han Jingyan. When he was lame, he could not participate in the imperial examination, and the future of that person was ruined by Han Jingyan. As the son-in-law of the Guogong Mansion, Han Jingyan was powerful and powerful, so he lost some money.
Yuchen asked in disbelief, "I died without confessing anything?" Without saying anything, the murderer could not be found behind the scenes.
Yan Wushuang said: "Don't worry, I will definitely catch the murderer behind the scenes. As long as you have done it, there will always be clues." Deliberately not telling Yuchen the truth, because Yan Wushuang has other plans.
Yuchen said with tears in his eyes: "Thank you, Lord."
After a conversation, Yan Wushuang left. Yuchen waited until Yan Wushuang's back was gone, his face immediately sank. There were a few people under Yan Wu's hands that were very fierce in interrogation. How could such a person be unable to pry open the mouth of a maid. So Yuchen can be sure that Yan Wushuang already knows who the murderer is behind the scenes, but he has another plan so he doesn't tell himself.
Grandma Gui brought a cup of ginseng tea and asked Yu Chen's face, "Manny, but the master behind the scenes didn't find it?" Han Jingyan is no longer a thing, but also the father of her own master. His father died tragically, and when he was a child, he would naturally avenge him.
After a moment of silence, Yuchen said: "The real murderer has been found behind the scenes, but the prince told me that he has not found it yet."
Grandma Gui was suspicious, and asked: "Wang Hao, what do you say? The prince didn't say it. How do you know that the murderer has been found?"
Yuchen gave the medicine to Bai Mei and said afterwards: "Bai Mei is a maid, how could she endure that torture. Moreover, the executioners are measured and will not let the prisoner die before confessing. "So Bai Mei must have died after confessing.
Madam Gui handed the ginseng soup to Yuchen and said, "The prince didn't tell you, it may be his intention. Don't think about it, the princess, drink this ginseng soup!"
Thinking of the cause of Han Jingyan's death, Yuchen could still drink this ginseng soup. Yuchen waved her hand and said, "Take it down!" In a short time, she didn't dare to drink ginseng soup.
Madam Gui persuaded: "Wang Hao, you should take a rest after a day of tiredness, or your body can't stand it." Since the birth of the twins, Yuchen's body has not been better than before.
Yuchen's mind will be messed up this time, and he can't think of a clue: "Okay." After he rests, his mind is clear, maybe he can figure out the reason.
After waiting for Yuchen to fall asleep, Mother Gui looked at the ginseng soup on the table and drank it. Yuchen has a shadow in his heart, but Mother Gui doesn't.
