Grand Master Zhao Na of Daduanchao, in his forties, is tall and thin, with an aquiline nose, a pointed chin, eyes as bright as an eagle, and his mouth is often tightly pursed. When thinking about things, the index finger and thumb will not Consciously twist to twist.
He is well-known as an expert in internal fighting, but an outsider in external fighting. He has never gone out to fight for meritorious service, nor has he offered advice to stabilize the country.
"Master, master, look, what should we do next?" Taishi's wife Shan Lan was both happy and worried: "Sister, no, Concubine Shan said that the empress and Yun Yueshi exchanged letters, and the evidence is conclusive. Can we bring down the queen with this letter alone?"
"It's hard to say." Grand Master Zhao was silent for a while: "Although we are seven or eight percent sure, it's not enough."
"Oh, it's really tasteless, it's not good for people to chew on, and it's not good not to eat at all!" Dan Lan sighed.
"However, tomorrow night's feast of viewing the moon and lanterns is a good opportunity!" Taishi Zhao's eyes were sharp, staring at the sky outside through the window paper.
"A banquet to watch the moon and lanterns?" Shan Lan was puzzled: "My lord, didn't I say that? Neither the queen nor the crown prince will go, only my sister and their concubines will attend!"
"That's why I said that this is a good opportunity." Zhao Taishi said: "As far as I know, His Majesty the Emperor will hold a banquet to entertain the Persian envoys that night, and he will neither attend the moon and lantern banquet, nor go to the Queen's Yuanheng Palace. .”
"so what?"
"In Yuanheng Palace, only the Queen and Master Yun Le are alone. Although His Highness the Crown Prince is also there, he is still bedridden." Grand Master Zhao clapped his palms and laughed loudly: "How can there be another time for such a good opportunity?"
"That's true!" Shan Lan suddenly realized: "The concubines are all watching the moon and watching the lantern banquet, and they won't bother them, so the queen and Yun Yueshi can do their jobs!"
"As long as we send a reliable person to Yuanheng Palace to investigate, we can catch the queen's handle, and with that letter, we can bring her down in one fell swoop!" Taishi Zhao looked fiercely.
"But... but... What if the queen has nothing to do with Master Yun Yue?" Shan Lan worried again: "Even if we send someone there, we won't be able to catch anything."
"Innocent or not, it's not their decision."
"But that Yun Musician has a quirk. When he sees a woman, he will faint in fear!"
"He's really smart and wants to use this method to avoid suspicion." Grand Master Zhao sneered: "But if we were to tell it, it would mean that he and the queen had an affair, and in order to avoid people's eyes and ears, he deliberately pretended to be like this! "
"That's right!" Shan Lan clapped her hands together: "A human mouth has two skins, no matter what you say, it makes sense!"
"As long as we produce real evidence, even if they have a hundred mouths, they won't be able to tell." Zhao Taishi sneered and opened the locker next to the bed, and took out a piece of red paper with his skinny big hands.
Yuanheng Palace.
"Report, Empress Empress said that there will be a moon-watching and lantern-watching banquet in the harem garden tomorrow night. Empress Empress, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and Master Yun Yue do not need to attend, just rest here." The little eunuch Ding Xian sent the empress's order.
Li Yuebai's expression became serious.
Watching the moon and watching the lantern feast is a very wonderful and cruel chapter in the original work.
In the original work, on the night of watching the moon and watching the lantern banquet, His Royal Highness still fell asleep on the bed from time to time, and Yun Weizhi and the empress accompanied him. Unexpectedly, at the second watch, Concubine Shan left the banquet alone and came to Yuanheng Palace.
Concubine Shan greeted the empress, said something about her parents, and asked the empress to dismiss the maids and eunuchs on the left and right, and then secretly took out a piece of paper.
The paper was red, but the writing on it was yellow-white, as if mixed with gold powder. The lines of writing were very delicate and beautiful, but it was impossible to recognize which language it was.
Concubine Shan said: "This is a remnant left by Wu Zidao, a poet of the former dynasty. It was copied by folk poets. Today, this one happened to be obtained by my concubine. I thought that my wife loved this thing most, so I came here to present it to my mother." .”
Wu Zidao, a poet of the former dynasty, was famous for his profound knowledge and proficiency in ancient and modern languages of various countries, leaving many fragments. The queen loves poetry, and every time she gets a good poem, she must copy it by herself. Immediately ordered the maid to take it, and looked at it carefully under the bright moonlight, it was indeed a good thing that had never been seen before.
Concubine Shan was quite proud to see that the queen liked her, drank a few cups of tea, and left in a hurry.
Unexpectedly, after going back that night, Concubine Shan fell ill in bed, unconscious, and asked the imperial doctor to come for diagnosis and treatment, saying that she had been poisoned.
Concubine Shan participated in the moon-watching and lantern banquet that night, and none of the other concubines were poisoned, so why was she the only one poisoned? After tracing all the way, it was found out that on the night of the banquet, Concubine Shan went to the Yuanheng Palace of the empress, and drank a few cups of tea there.
The emperor was suspicious at first, and he always loved the concubine Shan and alienated the queen. Hearing this, Long Yan was furious and ordered a thorough investigation. After interrogation all the way, it was said that when the concubine Shan was meeting the queen, the queen shunned the eunuchs and maids. Therefore, no one knows exactly what happened.
The emperor ordered a thorough investigation of the empress's Yuanheng Palace, and found several pages of poems written in black and white.
The scholar of Longyuan Pavilion came to read the handwriting and recognized that it was written in Yue language. When he saw the content, his head was covered with cold sweat and his hands trembled.
This is an erotic poem!
Not only is it an erotic poem, but it is also written for a lover from the perspective of a woman. The name of the poem is translated into Chinese, which is "Shixiangci".
Not only that, but the name of the lover is often mentioned in the poem, which is the word "cloud" in the Yue language!
Moreover, this is the queen's handwriting, and it was found from the queen's palace, and Master Yun happened to live in the queen's palace...
No matter from which angle it is speculated, this must be a love poem written by the queen to Yun Yueshi.
The empress turned pale with shock, and hurriedly argued: "This is not fake written by the concubine, but the concubine does not know the Yue language, and just copied it! On the night of the moon-watching lantern banquet, it was Concubine Shan who came to the concubine's palace. A page of out-of-print poems on red paper was sent, and the concubine copied it!"
The emperor's face was livid, his eyes almost popped out of their sockets, and he roared: "Queen! You keep saying that this is a copy of the red paper poem sent by Concubine Shan, so what evidence do you have? Where is that page of red paper poem now? "
The queen made up her mind, and then she felt relieved. Yes, she has always loved poetry very much. Naturally, the red page last night was well kept by the bedside, so she went to look for it by the bedside herself, but only found a smear of paper dust .
The queen had no choice but to explain: "I put it here last night, but now..."
"Does the queen want to use a little paper ashes to perfuse me?" The emperor became more and more furious.
After the imperial physician's diagnosis and treatment, the poison that Concubine Shan was poisoned was also found out, it was "Bai Wang San".
Baiwangsan, as the name suggests, as long as you drink it with tea, you will feel dizzy, confused, and forget what happened that day.
Therefore, Concubine Shan had completely forgotten about her going to the Queen's Palace that night. No matter how the Queen questioned her, she insisted that she did not remember sending the red paper poem to the Queen at all.
"Although Concubine Shan forgot, the concubine's maids and eunuchs can all testify!" the queen argued.
"They are all yours, so they will cover it up for you!" The emperor said angrily, "Besides, someone has already told you that you were in the same room with Master Yun Yue when the incident happened, and you were bumped into by Concubine Shan! Later, you even backed away, Talk to Concubine Shan alone!"
Concubine Shan's poisoning symptoms have gradually improved after the imperial physician's full-scale diagnosis and treatment. Although she still can't recall what happened that night, she can tell some fragments. Master Yun Yue had a very happy chat, and we don't know what will happen next."
In this way, in the eyes of the emperor, and in the eyes of everyone, things are very clear.
On the night of the moon-watching and lantern banquet, the emperor was busy entertaining the envoys from other countries. All the concubines were having a banquet in the garden. In Yuanheng Palace, the empress took the opportunity to have an affair with Yun Yueshi and wrote erotic poems.
Unexpectedly, Concubine Shan suddenly went to Yuanheng Palace to greet the queen, and accidentally broke the secret.
So, the queen dismissed all the maids and eunuchs, appeased Concubine Shan, and gave her tea mixed with "Baiwangsan", making her forget that she had encountered adultery.
I don't want Concubine Shan to be too delicate and react too violently after taking the medicine, so things will still be exposed.
The evidence of the crime was conclusive, and the queen couldn't argue with it.
The only point she can make is that she doesn't know the Yue language at all, and Master Yun also doesn't know the Yue language. It is impossible for the poems written in the Yue language to correspond to each other. However, no one believes it.
Everyone knows that the Empress is talented, able to write poems and poems, and Master Yun Yue is like a banished fairy. With their talents, it is only natural for them to know the Yue language.
This is how the injustice happened.
The whole set of plans of Zhao Na and the Shan sisters are interlocking and impeccable, but it is by no means impossible to crack. In fact, as long as you see the tricks, cracking them is easy.
Li Yuebai curled up under the quilt, biting his fingers and thinking hard.
"His Royal Highness." Finally, he called out to the brat on the bed who had been looking at him, as if he couldn't get enough of it: "Caomin has a lot to say to Empress Empress, please help convey it to His Royal Highness."
