Chapter 37
Chou pin?
Li Yu didn't remember who it was for a moment. The original book didn't mention too many imperial concubines. He had some impressions.
Li Yu can't react, but king Jing knows this one. It's Qiu Shi, the empress of the imperial concubine who was demoted not long ago, but the second prince. Now he is an Marquis, there's no possibility of inheriting the throne. Qiu's position was lowered because the emperor wanted to give an Marquis some last dignity.
But Qiu Shi looked as if he had not given up. There had been no fire in the palace for a long time. Now it is not easy to have a fire. When the fire broke out in Zhongcui palace, he was burned. He was afraid that there was another secret.
King Jing found that the fish was at a loss, and his fingers beat the table three times in rhythm. Wang Xi was stunned. This is to ask him to explain in detail. His Royal Highness has rarely asked for such a request since he grew up. Usually, he mentions a few words and his highness will understand why it is so today?
Although confused, Wang Xi still dutifully said: "Qiu pin, the second Royal Highness's biological mother, is also the former imperial concubine's empress. Originally, she lived in Zhongcui palace. At midnight last night, Zhongcui palace caught fire and was found by the night attendant. Qiu's family was burned. Fortunately, although the fire destroyed most of the Zhongcui palace, it did not spread to other places. The emperor was safe, and the other palaces were safe."
The original Qiu bin is the former Qiu Guifei?
Li Yu's eyes are shining. He has been fully fed and fattened recently. He has almost forgotten how cool the imperial concubine is!
Wang Gonggong explained this, and he could match it. It was the place where Qiu lived that caught fire. Qiu was injured.
But the palace is heavily guarded. Why is it suddenly on fire?
Li Yu remembers a plot in the original book. In the book, Qiu was not rejected by the emperor so early. Instead, he was implicated in the cannon fodder when the second prince and the third prince were fighting. After losing power, in order to help the second prince regain the emperor's favor, the Qiu family burned himself with bitter flesh to win the emperor's mercy. Unfortunately, he was exposed by the third prince and others, and Qiu and the second prince lost the emperor completely Heart.
Now the Chengen mansion is well protected. Both the Qiu family and the second prince are forbidden by the emperor, and the emperor almost deprives the second prince of the possibility of succession. Is it possible that the Qiu family has not given up his mind and still wants to use the bitter flesh?
It's not that there is no such possibility. But in the book, only a certain palace was burned, and the fire was quickly put out, which is different from Wang Xi's statement that most of the Zhongcui palace was burned down. Is it because the plot in front of us has changed beyond recognition, and Qiu's mind is even more crazy?
King Jing pondered for a moment. He took the paper and pen on the table and asked Wang Xi, "where is Qiu's injury? How about the others in Zhongcui palace? Why is the fire on? "
Wang Xi gave himself a light blow and apologized: "it's all because the old slave didn't make it clear that Qiu's injury was in his arm. The rest of the Zhongcui palace, except for a few who were in charge of the fire fighting, were slightly injured, and the palace servants had nothing to do. As for the cause of the fire, the emperor has been investigating it, but it has not yet been found out. However, it is reported in the palace that it was caused by a member of the palace who accidentally knocked over the oil lamp and burned the bed curtain
King Jing sneered. The servants' room is usually far away from the master's house. Can they be injured?
In addition, although the Qiu family was demoted, his status was not as good as before, but the concubine was still the leader of the palace, and even the head of the palace could be injured. Why are other palace servants unharmed? What is the reason?
Wang Xi also said: "I'm afraid it's not easy for me to think about this. People are very good under so many circumstances, but they can't protect a master. It shouldn't be a noble concubine. Bah, bah. The old slave's quick voice made a mistake. It should be the enemy concubine, and it won't be the enemy concubine's own injury."
Plum fish quickly flutter several times: Wang Gonggong said is reasonable, he also thought so.
At first, Li Yu was not sure whether it was Qiu's fault. Wang Xiti had a contradiction. What's more, Duke Wang said that the fire should be very strong. How could the fire injury only be in the arm? The more he thought about it, the more suspicious he became.
The duke said: "this matter has nothing to do with our palace. It's just that there is a fire in the palace. Your highness should also visit the emperor. The old slave got the news that his highness three and six have already entered the palace. Two An Hou's office also gave you a discount... "
King Jing understood his meaning and nodded.
Wang Xi said, "I'll make arrangements now, and there's a little fish master..."
Wang Xi took a look at the little carp and didn't know what king Jing was going to do.
Li Yu also wants to go out. He has been stuffy in the house for a long time. Recently, he hasn't made any trouble. He has always been very good.
King Jing saw that the tail of carp Jing was raised so high that a gust of wind came out. Wang Xi laughed and said, "it's still the same.".
As usual, he took fish with him. Wang Xi went to get the crystal bottle.
The crystal bottle is now made as big as a birdcage and still has a chain around its handle to prevent it from slipping.
King Jing himself put the fish into the crystal bottle. He was afraid that the fish would be hungry, so he added a lot of snacks to the fish. If Wang Xi hadn't been there, he might have filled the whole crystal bottle.
Wang Gonggong sighed, how do you feel that the little fish master has been strong for a circle recently, and his Highness's favor for him has also been strengthened for several times.
Qianqing palace.
All the concubines and princes were there. The emperor had ordered the imperial physician of the imperial hospital to visit the concubine. The doctor came back to report his illness. One arm of the concubine was not good, and he was burned to pieces. He was afraid that he could not recover.When the emperor was stunned, he was extremely disappointed with the Qiu family. The doctor's description reminded him of the past. In the year when Qiu's concubines entered the palace, he often wore dancing clothes to amuse him and please him. At that time, Qiu was only 28 years old, and his jade arm was as bright as the moon. In a flash, so many years passed.
The emperor realized that time went by and his grief was inevitable. Later, he received a letter from an hou. Mu Tianzhao confessed his mistake to the emperor with blood stabbing words. He did not dare to ask the emperor to forgive him. However, mu Tianzhao was very worried about Qiu's discomfort. He asked the Emperor to allow him to be filial in front of his bed.
Mu Tianzhao had a sincere attitude and showed filial piety to the Qiu family. The emperor had a hard heart for Marquis an, but he was moved at this time.
All the concubines nearby knew how to observe their words and expressions. They found that the emperor was distressed. In addition to Ying and no one dared to say anything, the third prince could not watch an hou come to join in the fun. After several times of speaking, the sixth Prince quietly advised him to go back.
At present, the emperor's heart is the good of the enemy concubines and an hou. If we directly say that they are not good, it will only make the emperor unhappy.
Third prince's great hatred, is it that Marquis is has been banned and will not continue to press him?
The sixth Prince pushed the third prince gently to make the third prince calm.
Luo Ruisheng, the general manager of the imperial court, came to report the king's arrival. Then the emperor put down an Hou's fold and ordered King Jing to enter the hall.
King Jing likes to raise fish, which is not rare in the palace. He still brought his fish into the Palace this time. The emperor was very impressed with King Jing's fish and specially rewarded him several times. When he remembered how King Jing raised fish, the emperor's mood began to warm up.
King Jing saluted first. The huge crystal bottle couldn't fit into his sleeve, so he held it in his hand. This time, the emperor saw the bottle which was obviously bigger than one size and the small carp with the same size in the bottle.
Emperor:
Plum fish is a sensible fish, specially turned two circles, to show respect for the emperor.
In this way, the emperor also glimpsed a piece of gold at the tail of the carp's belly and said in surprise, "Tianchi, you fish?"
The emperor, like Ye Shizi, glanced at it in a hurry and thought that the king had changed his fish.
Wang Xi followed King Jing all the time. King Jing took a look at Wang Xi. Wang Xili immediately kowtowed and answered for King Jing: "emperor, it is the fish raised by your highness that has changed scales and grown up."
Can fish change scales?
The emperor had never heard of it before. When he was curious, the bitter Qiu family and an hou stopped thinking about it. He ordered King Jing to bring the fish near and show him a look.
King should, the emperor under a closer look, see the fish is still the original one, only a few fish scales into gold.
The emperor repeatedly looked at the gold scales on the carp for a long time.
"What do you think, lorison?" The emperor looked at manager Luo.
Manager Luo, who had won the emperor's heart, said with a smile, "I'm a rude man. I don't think it's a good omen that fish grow golden scales."
The emperor laughed: "I also feel that it may be a sign of national peace and stability."
The emperor was in a bad mood, not only because of Qiu's mother and son. If the cause of the fire in the palace could not be found, it would be regarded as a warning from heaven. The emperor would have to carry the pot on his back. Seeing a common carp with golden scales on his body, the emperor was relieved. As long as there was a good omen, who could say anything?
Li Yu is confused, but the new scales grow on his belly. Does the emperor make up for the peace of the country?
The emperor is indeed the most nonsense.
When King Jing arrived, the emperor remembered the stupid things that Marquis had done before. He was really soft hearted because of Qiu's injury. However, if he was exempted from the punishment of marquis, he would be a fatuous king. How should he account for this?
Qiu has been with him for many years. Why didn't empress Xiaohui give up her life for him and several children?
In fact, there is no need to think too complicated about how to deal with Qiu's family. Since Qiu's family is injured, he can allow his relatives to visit the palace, but he can't write off the mistakes made by Marquis an. If an hou wants to be filial, he may not have to run into the palace to serve him with the body of sin. He can eat and chant Buddhism in the mansion, and let his wife and children take care of him. As long as he is sincere, there are many ways. In addition, Qiu Shi only hurt his arm, but an hou made it seem that Qiu was dying. He wrote with blood. He was afraid that Qiu could not bear it.
The emperor got rid of his pity for Qiu. Looking back at an Hou's fold, he took the opportunity to get rid of the crime. The one that was to be approved immediately was also left.
The bodyguards entered the hall and reported the investigation on the fire. It was found that a servant's room in Zhongcui palace was burned the most seriously. Therefore, it can be inferred that this place was the first place where the fire broke out. The servant's room was originally home to Qiu's intimate palace servant Huanhua, but after the fire was extinguished, Huanhua disappeared. No one had seen Huanhua and the imperial guards had not found it.
The emperor made something unusual out of it. A servant, even if the fire is really caused by it, should not hide, even the imperial guards can not find, after all, life to see people, death to see the body.
The emperor asked the location of the Huanhua room and learned that it was far away from the main courtyard where the concubines were located. Even though the emperor's face sank.
The third prince finally caught the opportunity and gave his mother concubine Qian a look. She covered her lips with a handkerchief and said with a smile, "Qiu bin is really out of luck. Nobody else is hurt from such a distance, but she is implicated."The emperor glared at Princess Qian, who also ventured to speak. She secretly looked back at the third prince, and angrily stopped.
The emperor's anger returned to anger, and he knew that what Qian Fei said was true, otherwise he would not be cold.
Even other concubines can see that Qiu's injury is not only a matter of distance, but also by fire. He also knows that the injury in his arm will make him feel distressed. The emperor felt that he had been wise all his life, but now he was almost fooled by a woman.
Most of the Zhongcui palace had been burned down, and the Qiu family was temporarily moved to the nearby Yuxiu palace. The emperor decided to visit Yuxiu palace in person and ask the people to accompany him.
Qiu was lying on his back on the bed. He could not stop crying in his mouth. He reported to the emperor outside. He was very happy. He put on his clothes and got out of bed with the help of the palace people. He said goodbye to the emperor. The emperor, suspicious of Qiu, went straight into her bedroom and looked at her carefully. She was still wearing delicate make-up and hair in a bun, which was the dress of dancing for him
The emperor was so cold in his heart that he ordered the imperial physician to examine Qiu's injury in front of him.
After all, Qiu's family was imperial concubine. Although all of them came with the emperor, they were not in the room at the moment, waiting for the emperor to come out.
King King afraid of stuffy fish, open the cap, fish quickly swim to the mouth of the crystal bottle!
Li Yu just watched for a long time. He felt that although some changes had taken place in the situation, such as the small fire turned into a big fire, King Jing took the fish into the palace, the third prince and the sixth Prince did not expose Qiu. Generally speaking, Qiu's strategy was similar to that of the original book, which should be a bitter meat plan. Therefore, the examination was not good. Qiu's arm was indeed injured and nothing could be found.
He has golden fingers and knows the answer to this question. But how can he remind king king in a short time?
From King Jing's point of view, King Jing dislikes Ye Shizi. As a relative in his heart, he certainly does not want Marquis an to return. If Marquis an is not beaten down thoroughly, it will be bad for Chengen government and King Jing
Li Yu lies at the relatively narrow mouth of the bottle, trying to think of a way to get into the God. For a time, he forgot that he had a long circle, clattered, and the crystal bottle was overturned.
King Jing:.... "
King Wang picked up the little carp. Wang Xi's face did not change. He said to the left and right: "sorry, my highness has to change his clothes."
