Chapter 170

The miscarriage of Princess Yongning was still spread to the palace.

Princess Liu was so angry that she had to investigate the matter thoroughly. The Li family also responded, and everyone outside has different opinions. It was said that Princess Yongning's previous good news had not been concealed for three months, so it was accepted by the Lord of hell. This is just a legend, and many people don't believe it now. Moreover, Princess Yongning did say that she was murdered in the Li family.

The word "murder" is not trivial, which means that this is not the child accidentally lost by Princess Yongning, but a carefully planned plot. Even the emperor has attracted attention, so that Li Jiawu will find out the murderer.

In contrast, Princess Yongning's eldest brother, Cheng Wang, didn't care much. Of course, this is not because Cheng Wang doesn't care about his sister, but because he has been busy with a more important thing recently - forcing the palace to rebel, so the matter of Princess Yongning can only be put on hold for a while.

For a while, the Li family became the target of public criticism, and only then did they try to find the murderer, but in twoorthree days, naturally, there was no sign of it. But Princess Yongning was like crazy, and almost from morning to night, she shouted for the Li family to come up with a statement. She couldn't find the murderer, so she let out all her anger in the Li family. It doesn't look like the granny of the Li family, but like the enemy of the Li family.

At night, Princess Yongning sat in the room, her face agitated.

Her body recovered quickly. Abortion should have been a matter of body consumption, and she should be too weak to get out of bed these days. But in just one day, Princess Yongning recovered and could walk freely. If it weren't for the Li family who knew that she had been alive, no one would believe it, for fear that she had never been pregnant.

But perhaps because of this, Li Xian didn't expect Princess Yongning to recover so quickly. For Princess Yongning's urging to find the murderer, he seemed a little confused.

Mei Xiang came in from outside holding the boiled soup.

"Today, the Li family didn't give an explanation." Princess Yongning angrily said, "it's unreasonable!"

After having no children, Princess Yongning's weakness disappeared, and she became arrogant and domineering again. Everyone should follow her. His bad temper was exposed.

She glanced at the soup medicine brought by Mei Xiang, which was specially taken to make up for her body after miscarriage. It was a big black bowl, emitting a bitter medicine fragrance. Princess Yongning looked and thought of the innocent dead child, and her heart began to ache faintly. What made her even more chilling was that now her miscarriage, not to mention the common people, had been spread all over the court. Shenyurong should also know a little, but shenyurong didn't even come to see her, even if it was just to send a letter and a word.

But there was nothing. She waited and waited. Only the Li family had not found the whereabouts of the murderer. What she waited for was nothing.

This is Shen Yurong's flesh and blood! He didn't even think about his family at all.

Princess Yongning was a little sad when she thought of this. She knows that Shen Yurong is about a fickle person, which can be seen from his treatment of his wife Xue Fangfei. But I never thought that one day, this fickleness would also be used on myself.

The more you think about it, the more irritable it is, the more unwilling it is. Princess Yongning asked, "Mei Xiang, is there a message from Shen Lang today?"

After a while, she didn't answer. She turned her head and saw Mei Xiang standing in front of the table, wiping the table indefinitely, repeatedly wiping the same place, but her eyes didn't know where to look in the air. It was clear that her mind was not here. Princess Yongning called suspiciously again, "Mei Xiang!"

Mei Xiang looked back flustered and said, "Your Highness?"

"What's the matter with you?" Princess Yongning frowned, "is there something hidden from the palace?"

Mei Xiang followed her for many years, and she was the most calm. She rarely saw her like this, and Princess Yongning immediately became suspicious.

"Maidservant... Maidservant..." Mei Xiang turned around, walked to the door and looked at it. Seeing that there was no other person outside, she closed the door, returned to the house, gritted her teeth, knelt down in front of Princess Yongning, and said, "maidservant just came back from the outside, passed by a small house, and heard something..."

"What's the matter?"

Mei Xiang then talked about it. When she went to get the tonic fried for Princess Yongning, she passed a dark room, which was covered. Mei Xiang had intended to walk through. For the Li family, she was not a number. Because she had been following Princess Yongning for two months, she had no time to walk around the Li family and get familiar with the place. Just as Mei Xiang was about to walk through the dark room, she heard someone talking in the dark room. It was nothing at all. The servants of the Li family spoke, and Mei Xiang didn't plan to eavesdrop. But in this, when she suddenly heard the name of Princess Yongning, Mei Xiang stopped. It was about her master. Seeing that there was no one around, she stood sideways in the crack of the door and listened carefully to what the people inside said about her master.

One of them said, "the child in the princess's belly finally fell off. Fortunately, it did. Now the eldest childe doesn't have to work hard in the princess's tocolysis medicine, and there is always no response. Speaking of it, the princess didn't drink the medicine? Otherwise, how could there be no movement? If it weren't for this time, I don't know whether he would succeed."

"That's not true? If she gets bigger, it's difficult to do it again, and it's easy to kill people. How many methods have we used before? It's quite useful for medicinal incense on the ground. We've tried everything, but there's no response. If she's pushed down the steps this time and hasn't moved, I'll doubt whether she is an ordinary person and has practiced any magic skills?"

Another person added, "keep your voice down. If you are heard, you will be in trouble. In short, the result is the best now. OK, let's stop talking about this and work quickly. Wait for the princess to make trouble for a few more days, and your highness will soon give a scapegoat?"

Mei Xiang was frightened when she heard it. She wanted to ask for more secrets, but the two turned to talk about other things. There seemed to be footsteps in the distance, and Mei Xiang didn't dare to stay, for fear of being found. She dare not directly break into the house to expose these two people. You know, this is the Li family after all. If what these two people said is true, and the murderer is Li Xian, the Li family will certainly kill people. I'm afraid that before she tells Princess Yongning about it, she will be killed and disappear from the world.

So she pretended to stand up as if nothing had happened and gently left. Continue to go to the kitchen to bring medicine, and then return to Princess Yongning's house. Put the medicine down, but I was nervous, thinking about how to mention it to Princess Yongning.

Princess Yongning finally found the clue.

After hearing this, Princess Yongning's lips trembled a few times and said, "they are so brave." Suddenly, he raised his voice again, "how brave they are!"

"Princess!" Mei Xiang hurriedly blocked her way.

Princess Yongning stared, "what are you going to do? Li Xian killed the children of the palace, and the palace wants him to pay for his life! The palace will go to Li Xian to make it clear, and see what else he has to say. No wonder..." she sneered, "the palace just thinks that their Li family is more perfunctory in looking for the murderer. It turns out that the murderer is Li Xian. It's really a thief shouting to catch a thief. I'm afraid that the action of the palace is just a joke in their eyes!"

Princess Yongning was very excited. Mei Xiang lowered her voice and said, "Your Highness, this matter has not been confirmed. The reason why I didn't dare to tell you at the beginning is because I don't know whether this matter is true or not. If someone deliberately led me to the room and let me hear that, in order to frame the blame on eldest son Li, we didn't get into each other's trap. Your highness must be calm!"

"Oh?" Princess Yongning was angry and said, "how do you want the palace to be calm? Now you tell the palace that Li Xian may have killed the child of the palace. Even if it is possible, the palace can't be calm!"

"The maidservant didn't want to speak for Mr. Li, nor did she want to get rid of the sin of the Li family. It was for the sake of the princess. Your highness, think about it. If it was Mr. Li who moved his hand, why did Mr. Li do this? Didn't the Li family want their grandchildren? Or did they notice something?"

Princess Yongning was stunned and slowly calmed down. After a while, she said, "Li Xian must have known that this palace is not pregnant with the bones and flesh of the Li family. When he first looked at this palace, there was no emotion in his eyes."

The first time the imperial doctor was invited to the house to announce the "good news", Princess Yongning thought that Li Xian and his son were strange. In particular, Li Xian, although he spoke softly and behaved considerately, there was clearly no joy or even a trace of disgust in his eyes that belonged to his father when he learned that he had a child. At that time, Princess Yongning also suspected that she was wrong. Now think about it, it's not wrong at all. Maybe Li Xian knew from the beginning that the child was not his own, so he was not surprised about the appearance of the child. For the child's departure, he pretended to follow a few words of sadness, and did not shed a tear.

"This bastard!" Princess Yongning clenched her teeth and said, "play with the palace between applause!"

In the past two months, the lies Princess Yongning told for this child are probably very ridiculous in Li Yingjun. He clearly knew everything, but he had to pretend to know nothing and play with Princess Yongning. In retrospect, Princess Yongning herself felt ridiculous, as if she had been fooled, with no dignity.

"If Mr. Li really knew about it early in the morning, how did he know? But there is evidence, or did he hear the wind?" Mei Xiang was as calm as ever, "I don't know these now."

"What do you want to say?"

"What I want to say is that your highness is in front of the princess at the moment. In front of his Highness Prince Cheng, he said that childe Li killed his Highness's bones and flesh. I'm afraid no one believes it. Before that, you must pay attention to the evidence. Then take the evidence to test childe Li, and you will know whether childe Li is the mastermind behind the scenes."

Princess Yongning asked, "how do I get the evidence?"

"During the conversation between the two men in the dark room, I heard that eldest son Li had used various means to hope that his highness would miscarry, but in the end it was useless. This is also because his highness protected his highness Xiaozhong very well when he was in the Li family. Apart from other things, his highness had never eaten a bowl of tocolysis pills fried in the Li family's kitchen, lest someone put medicine in it, all of which were tocolysis pills brought by his maidservant from the princess's house. But those tocolysis pills People don't know about the medicine. They think your Highness has drunk it. In fact, they were dumped by slaves under the willow tree in front of the door. "

"There are still some drug residues left in those drugs, and they have accumulated a lot. Now the slaves dig them, and they should be able to dig out some. As long as they take them to the medicine shop and smell them to the doctor, they will know whether there are drugs that cause abortion in them. If there are any, it means that what the two people just said is true, and eldest childe li really wants to kill his highness. If those drug residues are OK, it means that the two people are lying, in order to slander Li Eldest son, let your highness and eldest son Li lose both. "

Princess Yongning can't find anything wrong with this remark. After a long time, Princess Yongning said, "OK, it's up to you. Go and dig out those herbs and ask them in the medicine shop tomorrow. If it's not convenient, if it's really Li Xian who has harmed the children of our palace, even if we fight for this life, we will also take their Li family and bury them together!"

Her eyes were full of revenge, and Mei Xiang bowed her head and said, "yes."

……

The story of Princess Yongning's miscarriage spread all over the country, and shenyurong didn't know it.

When he returned to Shen mansion, he saw a carriage parked at the door of Shen mansion. This is the carriage of Ningyuan Marquis mansion. Shen Ruyun came.

He frowned and went in. The boy came up and took off his clothes for him. When they approached the room, in the hall, Shen's mother and Shen Ruyun were talking. Seeing him coming, they immediately stood up.

This is the first time for Shen Ruyun to come back after he married to the Marquis of Ningyuan. Her clothes are more exquisite than before, and the complicated patterns on her clothes dazzle people. Jewelry is worn on the head, hands and neck, each of which is bright, for fear that others will not see it.

It seems that her life is not bad, at least her dress is better than before, but her face is a lot more anxious. After becoming a woman, it seems that the little beauty that existed when she was a girl has also been erased, and she has become an official lady through and through. She is no different from those ladies in Yanjing City, and even she looks like she is not going well.

"Brother," Shen Ruyun stood up and said, "do you know, princess, she miscarried!"

Shenyurong glanced at her and sat down on one side. The servant girl quickly poured hot tea. He took a sip of it and said expressionless, "I know."

"Why don't you ask him? You should try to meet her!" Shen Ruyun said, "now is her most vulnerable time."

"She is now Li Xian's wife, Granny Li. In what capacity should I go to see her?" Shen Yurong's calm way.

"What if she married someone? She only has you in her heart, and she doesn't have that troublesome son Li Xian."

"Shen Ruyun!" Shen Yurong snapped.

Shen Ruyun was startled. Shen Yurong's tone was too strict, but she stayed for a moment. She whispered again: "it was. The princess treated our family well. She was already very poor after losing her property. I said this because I sympathized with her."

"Yes," Shen's mother couldn't help but say, "Yurong, don't blame your sister. What your sister said is also right. We Shen family all know the princess's intentions for you. Don't let others down."

Shen's mother said, Shen Yurong couldn't scold Shen Ruyun in a harsh voice, and his heart flashed a trace of weakness. His family always turned to Princess Yongning, not because of the deep friendship between Princess Yongning and the Shen family, but because the identity of Princess Yongning can make him become a son-in-law and a couple with King Cheng. In this way, he can climb up step by step with this relationship, and climb to an enviable position with no effort.

"She's married, mother." Shenyurong reminded.

"I know, but now she has a miscarriage." Shen's mother said, "she has a miscarriage, and she has you in her heart. As long as you say a few words, she can make peace with the Li family and marry us to the Shen family."

"Yes, yes, yes," Shen Ruyun also said warmly, "our Shen family will not take good care of her like the Li family!"

Just listening to this, people will probably feel that this is really a warm-hearted family. Despite the fact that the woman had married before and had children with other men, she still didn't dislike it and was looking forward to marrying her to her own family. I still don't know that the child in Princess Yongning's belly is his. If I know, I'm afraid it's even more noisy.

"Don't think about it," Shen Yurong said coldly, "she won't leave, and she doesn't have to enter the Shen family's door."

Shen Ruyun and Shen's mother were stunned for a moment. Shen's mother was extremely disappointed, but Shen Ruyun said, "why? She is a princess, isn't it her freedom to marry who she wants? The Li family didn't take good care of her, so she naturally has reason to leave? It happens that eldest brother you have a wife, and marrying her looks the most right!"

Deng right... Shen Yurong almost wanted to laugh. It turned out that in his sister's eyes, he and Princess Yongning were Deng right. Maybe, they are the same ruthless.

"No reason," shenyurong said, "it's late. Go back." After that, he ignored Shen Ruyun, nodded with Shen's mother, and left the hall and walked to the yard.

Behind him, there was a voice of Shen Ruyun arguing with Shen's mother, and Shen Yurong didn't want to hear it. In fact, his current official position is not low, but somehow, Shen mother and Shen Ruyun still hope that he can rely on Princess Yongning to climb up. Once upon a time, they only let him study hard and save money in order to raise enough money for him to go to school, and never complained. But now, it is clear that there is no need to worry about food and clothing, but it is still not satisfied.

When did you become greedy? Shenyurong didn't know. When he suddenly realized that things had reached an irreparable point, it seemed to be too late

In order to obtain a higher position of power, his family did not hesitate to ask him to sell his dignity, that is, the other party was already a married woman, but also asked him to secretly communicate with the other party. Shen Yurong also felt a little sick.

He really didn't want to entangle with these things, and the only thing he felt gratified recently was that his child, the child in Princess Yongning's belly, was gone. As a father, Shen Yurong didn't feel a little sad. He even thanked the murderer. No matter who the other party was, he didn't care, but was glad that the other party helped him.

Let him cut off from Princess Yongning completely.

……

Shen Ruyun talked with Shen's mother on the first day of the meeting, and then got on the carriage back to the house.

Ningyuan Houfu didn't care about her, not because she was Shen Yurong's sister and didn't dare to control her, but because Ningyuan houshizi Zhou Yanbang, his husband didn't care about her existence at all. Therefore, no one cares whether she travels in the daytime or returns to her mother's house at night.

When returning to the Shen family this time, in addition to persuading Shen Yurong to make peace with Princess Yongning, Shen Ruyun also poured bitter water with Shen's mother.

After marrying the Marquis of Ningyuan, Shen Ruyun's life was not easy. Zhou Yanbang lingered in Hualou all day, drinking and having fun, and came back drunk at night. Shen Ruyun was angry when he saw her, but Zhou Yanbang looked at her like a stranger. He didn't take her as his wife. Even Jiang yu'e, the concubine of the Shen family, was better than Shen Ruyun.

Jiang yu'e will be humble, extremely considerate to Zhou Yanbang, and there are countless inferior means, always entangle Zhou Yanbang in his yard. Shen Ruyun wanted to attack her, but she always couldn't catch Jiang yu'e's handle, and Jiang yu'e escaped from her hands like a loach.

Shenruyun found that she had no means in the backyard. Maybe it's because there are no female relatives in the Shen family, the population is simple, and the only foreign xuefangfei is gentle. In the Shen family, Shen Ruyun has no rivals, so naturally there is no need to learn anything. In the strange battlefield of Ningyuan Marquis mansion, she became unarmed. The only thing we can rely on is the identity of the wife of the prince, but Zhou Yanbang doesn't pay attention to this identity at all. It seems that whoever is the wife of the son of God is the same.

Probably because in the yingyingyanyan whom Zhou Yanbang knew, Shen Ruyun was born too ordinary. Zhou Yanbang had no impression of Shen Ruyun until the event at the Palace Banquet. It can be seen that Zhou Yanbang didn't like Shen Ruyun, and even didn't have a good impression.

Shen Ruyun failed to beg Zhou Yanbang for mercy, and the teacher was Yinzhao by Jiang yu'e. she was so anxious and angry that she had to turn to Mrs. Hou Ningyuan, her mother-in-law.

Mrs. Hou looked kind and comforted her, but in fact, she asked Shen Yurong, Shen Ruyun's eldest brother, whether he could speak for Zhou Yanbang in front of the emperor, so that Zhou Yanbang could return to his official career.

Shen Ruyun mentioned this matter with Shen Yurong, but Shen Yurong refused. Her eldest brother decided that nine cows could not be pulled back, and Shen Ruyun had no choice but to do so. After several times, Shen Ruyun hesitated, and Mrs. Hou didn't care about these things. The next time Shen Ruyun came to complain, Mrs. Hou said she was uncomfortable and didn't bother to come out at all.

Think about it, anyway, Zhou Yanbang has no money in his official career. He can play as he likes. At most, others talk behind his back, saying that people won't lose a piece of meat. Why hurt the feelings of mother and son for these small things?

Shenruyun was really helpless. She wanted to ask Princess Yongning for help. Shenyurong refused to help, and Princess Yongning would certainly help, but Princess Yongning married the Li family at this juncture. Shen Ruyun panicked. If Princess Yongning married the Li family and broke off contact with Shen Yurong, how far could they go? Would the good days be over? Therefore, she hurried back to Shenfu to persuade shenyurong not to draw a line with Princess Yongning even if she married.

Unfortunately, her ideas seem to run counter to her eldest brother.

Shen Ruyun is not flattering on both sides. She can't solve her dilemma in the Marquis of Ningyuan. Shen Yurong of the Shen family has such an attitude. Shen Ruyun suddenly felt that if Xue Fangfei were here, at least she would think of a solution for herself. She was so smart that she must have a way to make herself stand firmly in the Marquis of Ningyuan.

The carriage sped away at night, and Shen Ruyun pressed his forehead.

Xue Fangfei is dead. She shouldn't recall a dead person. Moreover, it is precisely because of Xue Fangfei's death that the Shen family has today's prosperity.

She was just a little confused by her recent troubles. She just couldn't understand Shen Yurong anymore, just.

……

One day and one night, the four words that sounded quite short were extremely long for Princess Yongning.

Last night, Mei Xiang dug the drug residue under the willow tree and found a paper bag to wrap it. By this day, in the afternoon, when the house was shopping, she went out to the drugstore to check whether there was a problem with the drug residue. Princess Yongning stayed alone in the house. She also had servant girls beside her, but without Mei Xiang, she always felt like she lacked a backbone. Especially after learning that the Li family may have a plot, Princess Yongning sat alone and always felt that dangerous times would come around.

She has no trust in the Li family.

From the time when it was still very bright until evening. When Li Xian and his son came back, and Princess Yongning had her own dinner, the lights in the room were on.

Li Xian had seen her in the afternoon, and Princess Yongning guessed that Li Xian had gone to his yard to rest. While waiting impatiently, the voice of Mei Xiang talking to the servant girls suddenly came from outside. Princess Yongning was in a good mood, sat up from the collapse, and fell down, just as Mei Xiang came in from the outside.

Princess Yongning waved back the servants around and asked Mei Xiang to close the door. Mei Xiang closed the door and made sure that there was no one around before she took out the paper bag containing the drug residue from her arms.

"When I went out today, in order to avoid mistakes, I ran to several medicine shops in a row, letting people smell what was in the medicine residue."

Princess Yongning urgently asked, "what did you find?"

Mei Xiang glanced at Princess Yongning and said in a deep voice, "this medicine residue is indeed mixed with drugs that cause miscarriage. At first, it will be fine. If you take it continuously for more than a month, your body will be extremely weak. As long as you walk around, it will be easy to climb the hill, while people who are pregnant will be very aware of this change."

"What they said is true. Eldest son li really wants to murder his highness!" Mei Xiang said.

Princess Yongning staggered back a step, leaned against the bedpost, and suddenly clenched her fist. Her eyes were almost ready to spit fire. She gnawed her teeth and said, "Li Xian, this palace wants your dog to die!"
