Chapter 49： | 【49】

When Lin Feilu's birthday passed, the temperature rose a lot. The breath of spring has faded, and all palaces are preparing for the coming hot summer.

Emperor Lin has been busy with political affairs recently and rarely goes to the harem anymore. His thoughts are always on the front. Peng Man took advantage of the time when he approved the memorial and replied: "Your Majesty, the empress dowager has sent a lot of imperial doctors to go there during this period. Qing Palace, I’m afraid I’m not in good health."

Emperor Lin was quite filial, and immediately put aside his government affairs when he heard of this, and set aside Qing Palace.

In the past, he was surprised to find his stupid son was there.

Lin Di's attitude towards Lin Zhanyuan is much better now. Although he doesn't like much, but at least he no longer hates him. Sometimes it is rare to see his clear and innocent eyes.

But I didn't expect the queen mother to like this silly grandson so much. Lin Zhanyuan played around with Long Ear in the yard, and the queen mother lay on the wicker chair in the yard and watched with a smile, with a very pleasant expression.

As soon as Emperor Lin came in, he saw Lin Zhanyuan running full of sweat, and the queen mother waved to him: "Yuan'er, come here to grandma and have some crisp tea."

Lin Zhanyuan ran over with his red face, holding a small bowl and drinking, and ran back happily. As soon as I turned around and saw Emperor Lin who came in, his expression became a little nervous, remembering what my sister had taught her to salute: "The child minister pays homage to the father."

He salutes to Emperor Lin, and Emperor Lin also salutes to the Queen Mother.

The queen mother sat up from the wicker chair and embraced the timid grandson and grandson in her arms, "Why did the emperor come here?"

The palace man quickly moved a chair over, and Lin Di sat aside and smiled: "Come with the queen.

The queen mother took the handkerchief and wiped the sweat from Lin Zhanyuan's forehead: "It's fine if you have a faraway child with Ai's family."

Lin Di looked at how close the grandparents and grandchildren looked, and was a little surprised: "I don't know that the sixth child is so close to the mother and queen."

The queen mother gave him a glance: "You are more intimate with Ai's family than you."

The Emperor Lin was a little bit silly, and then he talked about the reason for today, with a solemn tone: "I heard from them that the queen mother has recently summoned a lot of doctors, but she is unwell? What did the doctors say?"

The empress dowager's sweaty hands paused, but did not immediately answer.

When he wiped off his sweat for Lin Zhanyuan, he smiled and touched his head, and said softly: "Good grandson, go find Chang Er to play."

Lin Zhanyuan pursed his lips and gave Lin Di a small look before running away.

The Queen Mother squinted at the figure he was chasing with the puppy in the yard, her eyes were gentle, but her tone of voice was faint: "The Ai's family is in good health. The doctor Xuan is to inquire about some old things."

Emperor Lin answered, "Oh?"

The Queen Mother turned her gaze back and looked at him and said: "The Ai family returned to the palace this time and saw Yuan'er. But she remembered something about the emperor's presence. The emperor had few children back then, and many concubines gave birth prematurely during pregnancy. Many fetuses. At that time, it was said that the first emperor had a poor blessing and had no children. But in fact, this harem is all in the eyes of the Ai family. The emperor can grow up safely, and the Ai family took great pains back then."

Of course, Emperor Lin remembers how fiercely his father's harem fought in the last session, which is why he now prefers gentle, kind, and talented women.

Hearing the empress dowager suddenly talk about the old things, Lin Di thought that she was too old to think about it, so he comforted: "The sons and ministers are rich in Fuze, and there are many children. Now all of them are very good, so the mother does not have to worry about it."

The queen mother looked at Lin Zhanyuan in the courtyard: "If Xiao Lan could give birth to a child safely, Yuan'er would be a smart and excellent prince now. The family remembers that the emperor loved Xiao Lan very much, right?"

Emperor Lin smiled a little bit of a jealousy.

The queen mother asked: "At that time, she was pregnant, could the emperor have a good baby to take care of? Since she was able to give birth to the fifth child so healthy and intelligent later, it makes no sense that her first child was damaged in premature delivery."

After the queen mother has laid the groundwork for so long, how could Emperor Lin not understand what she meant? The expression became a little solemn, and he hesitated: "The queen suspected that someone harmed Langui and caused her to give birth prematurely, so that the sixth child was stupid?"

The queen mother said quietly: "The Aijia just suspected that the imperial physician summoned to Xiao Lan for consultation."

Emperor Lin said anxiously, "What can the queen ask?"

The queen mother said: "Never. But the emperor said that Xiao Lan did not see any abnormalities when she was pregnant, and her pregnancy was very healthy, and she shouldn't have been born prematurely." She looked at Emperor Lin with a serious tone: "This matter needs to be investigated. Murdering the emperor's heir is a serious crime."

Lin Di was originally a little guilty for neglecting Xiao Lan and Xiao Wu for so many years. At this moment, he learned that there may be other hidden things in the past. If Xiao Lan was harmed, it would have caused a foolish child. Then his behavior these years Isn't it being teased? !

He just said, how could his brother be stupid because his little five was born so clever and clever!

This is really outrageous!

It seemed that he had found a catharsis for his guilt suddenly, and the Emperor Lin suddenly felt relieved. After the relaxation, he was furious, and said in a deep voice: "Mother, don't worry, since this matter is strange, the son will definitely investigate it!"

The queen mother nodded, listening to Lin Zhanyuan's happy and brisk laugh, the corner of her mouth also hung a smile: "Yuan'er has suffered for so many years, you are the father of the emperor, don't let him be wronged again."

Emperor Lin nodded solemnly.

After returning to the Hall of Nourishing the Heart, the Emperor Lin thought for a while, and asked all the imperial physicians who had been called by the Queen Mother to ask them again, and asked them to take out the case records that were recorded that year and examine them in detail. He also ordered Peng Man to go to the House of Internal Affairs to retrieve all the information of the palace staff who served Xiao Lan back then, to see where he was on duty now, and whether there was any difference.

When the emperor checked, the movement became louder.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Imperial Hospital are both busy with this matter, and of course the news cannot be kept away.

The people in the harem soon knew that His Majesty seemed to be tracing the truth about the premature birth of Noble Lan.

Premature delivery is actually not a major event. In addition to Xiao Lan, several concubines in the harem also gave birth prematurely. But unlike Xiao Lan, who had a good fate and gave birth to the child, the mother and child were safe, and the other concubines were all stillborn.

But think again, is Xiao Lan really fateful?

If her child died, she might not have fallen out of favor at the beginning, but her Majesty would pity her, maybe because of her promotion, there will be a chance to become pregnant with dragon veins in the future.

But it was because she was born and gave birth to a fool that she fell out of favor, and so many years passed by.

If this incident is really caused by someone behind it, this trick is not poisonous.

But everyone also talked a few words in private, after all, so many years have passed, it is difficult to find out anything.

Of course, those who have nothing to do with this matter should be regarded as a lively event, but the real behind-the-scenes man hears this matter, and he is not so comfortable.

Concubine Hui was so shocked that she almost fell the teacup in her hand. The calm and steady person could not help panic at this moment: "Why did your Majesty suddenly remember to investigate this matter?"

The handmaid said: "I heard that the queen mother first checked it out. Since the queen mother returned to the palace, the six princes have been loved by the queen mother, I am afraid it is because of this..."

Concubine Hui tightly squeezed the teacup, feeling up and down.

Although this matter has passed for so many years, she did it without knowing it, and she did not come forward. The hands of the Jing Mei 嫔 were all the drugs and operations, but...

She found the medicine that caused the fetus to be stupid!

This medicine is a folk prescription for harming people, and there is no in the palace. She also asked her mother's family to find out after many inquiries. After sneaking into the palace, she secretly passed it to Mei Yan who was commensurate with Xiao Lan sisters at the time. .

If your Majesty really investigates Mei Bin's head, with Mei Bin's character, he will definitely bite himself out.

If your Majesty starts with the prescription, there are few people using this prescription, and it is not impossible to find her mother's home.

No matter what the result is, she can't get rid of it.

Concubine Hui was upset for a while, and she walked back and forth in the house a few times holding a teacup. After all, she was a concubine who had been sitting firmly in her position for many years. She quickly calmed herself down and told the maidservant: "You can send a message to the palace and let them To control all the relevant people who participated in the drug search at the time, the country doctor who gave the drug must be found immediately..."

She made a look, and the handmaid immediately understood what she meant, nodded and was about to go out.

Concubine Hui thought about something, her expression turned gloomy, she whispered a few words in her ear after calling the maid, and then said in a deep voice: "Go, this thing must be done neatly. Don't leave traces behind."

...

Lin Feilu was a little surprised when he heard that Emperor Lin was investigating what happened back then.

Although she suspected that Mei Yan did 90% of this matter, there is no evidence, and it is not good to go to the Emperor Lin and talk nonsense.

He just held Lin Zhanyuan's chubby face and gave him a heavy kiss, complimenting him: "It's all due to brother."

Lin Zhanyuan was stunned.

After reacting, she screamed and ran into Xiao Lan's house: "Sister kiss me!!!"

Xiao Lan was amused and reproached, and Wen Sheng reprimanded Lin Feilu, who had no concept of giving or receiving incompatibility between men and women: "Luer is six years old this year. Don't behave like this anymore."

Hey, this old-fashioned feudal era.

Lin Feilu was slanderous and nodded obediently.

Emperor Lin is a resolute and resolute emperor. He said he must do what he wants to do. In the past, an upright admonisher said that he was self-contained, and he was indeed the emperor of the arrogant and conceited type. He felt that he was the best in the world.

Such a personality is sometimes good, sometimes bad, for example, it is greatly good when it is placed in the present.

With the investigation of Emperor Lin, Hui Fei is really terrified every day, for fear that any day a sacred decree will come, she will be arrested to Dali Temple for trial.

Fortunately, she waited for the news from her mother's house before waiting for the imperial edict.

The doctor who gave them the prescription before has been found. They sent someone to make the illusion that they fell into the water. The doctor is dead. Two of the people who were looking for medicine to buy medicine back then were relatives of their mothers. They are absolutely credible. The two that cannot be completely relieved have also been dealt with.

The drug search line was completely cut off. Concubine Hui no longer worried, but another message came from her mother's family.

While looking for the clues to be cut by the doctor, they also spotted another wave of people who were also investigating the matter. At first they thought they belonged to your Majesty, but after a secret follow-up investigation, they discovered that they belonged to the Liu family!

Concubine Hui's heart condensed.

It's Mei Bin's mother's home!

Why would they pursue this clue? !

Concubine Hui only hesitated a little, and figured out the key to this matter.

Mei Yan must have also known what your Majesty was investigating back then. She was the person who directly administered the drug back then. Compared to Concubine Hui, she was at a greater risk of being investigated. Once found on her head, with her character, it is bound to confess Hui Concubine and drag her to **** together.

To convince your Majesty that Concubine Hui was involved, evidence was needed.

The best evidence is the source of the package.

She had long known that Mei Yan was not a fuel-efficient lamp, and had been preventing her from jumping over the wall and biting herself into the water. She didn't expect her thoughts to be so deep, and she had already begun to back up.

It's just that Mei Bin is not as strong as before, and she is still ahead of her. The doctor is dead, the clues for finding medicine have been broken, and now the only threat is only one plum...

Concubine Hui looked at the blue sky outside the window, her eyes gradually deepening.

...

The silver frost palace that was once proud of the spring breeze is only desolate and deserted at this moment.

In summer, when the sun became stronger, Mei Bin found her face more uncomfortable. The purple scars didn't fade away. She stayed in the room for too long and occasionally wanted to go out and get some fresh air in the sun, but her skin hurts when she comes into contact with the sun.

I called an imperial doctor and said it was sun intolerance.

In other words, she has to live in the darkness all her life.

Whenever she thinks about this, she can't wait to cut the big and one small in Mingyue Palace. She made two Witch Gu dolls and hid in the room every day to get needles, one thousand and ten thousand needles, which was not enough to vent her hatred.

Especially when she learned that your Majesty had started investigating Xiao Lan's premature birth, all the resentment in her heart turned into panic.

Once this matter was found on her, with the current attitude of your majesty to her, she didn't even have a chance to complain. Mei Bin has been with Lin Di for many years, knowing just how ruthless he is.

But her father is still in Jiangnan, and her family is not as powerful as before because she fell out of favor. Her actions are naturally not as good as Concubine Hui, and she has not received a reply for a long time.

Now there are only two court ladies and one **** left in the Yinshuang Temple, both of whom belong to the Liu family, otherwise they would not be loyal to her in this situation. Mei Bin was a smart man after all, and he began to perceive the crisis.

At that time, the person who assassinated Lin Feilu at the post station was the **** beside her, called Liu San, who took some effort with him and helped her to do a lot of ugly things over the years.

Mei Yan told Xixiang: "Send Liu San to guard in the palace room."

Xixiang took the order and went out to find Liu San's shadow without seeing Liu San. When he remembered that he had gone to the House of Internal Affairs to receive benefits in the morning, he didn't think much about it. But after waiting till the evening, Liu San was still missing, and Xixiang was a little panicked.

After hurriedly reporting to Mei Yan, her face turned pale, and she looked at the darkening sky outside the window, and she felt strong anxiety in her heart.

"My palace can't stay here!" She stood up abruptly, her expression a little mad, "Liu San must have something wrong! Concubine Hui is going to kill her, and our palace is going to ask your Majesty for help!"

She said that she ran out, but Emperor Lin blocked her foot, and a guard was guarding her not far from the Silver Frost Hall, preventing her from entering or leaving.

As she yelled, the guard saw many crazy concubines in Leng Gong, and ignored the words she yelled.

Xixiang and another court lady brought Mei Lai back to the room. Xixiang comforted her: "Niang, there will be nothing wrong! This is the palace, and there are guards outside. She even has the courage to dare not Do it here. The maidservants and the maidservants are carefully checking the daily food, so don’t worry, the maidservant will go to find Liu San tomorrow morning!"

Mei Bin was still upset, and asked them to take the scissors and put them under the pillows, huddled under the covers and opened their eyes in horror, until the night did not dare to fall asleep.

She was so violent that Xixiang and the court lady didn't dare to sleep, they kept lying on the bedside guard.

But as the night grew stronger and sleepiness gradually hit, the two of them held their heads and started to doze off.

The swaying candlelight in the house suddenly went out at some unknown time, and a strange fragrance came in the air, and the bodies of the two dozing servant girls gradually softened.

Mei Bin's nerves were already highly tense. She was almost frantically vigilant about the movement of the night. She was sensitive to the fragrance. As soon as she smelled the fragrance, she felt that something was wrong. She suddenly covered her mouth and nose with a quilt and screamed in horror.

The man in black who was waiting outside was taken aback by the scream.

He hasn't entered yet, why is he called inside?

If this attracts the guards on patrol, won't they be able to play tonight? Niangniang has an explanation, you must finish the plum concubine tonight!

The man in black no longer hesitated, and opened the door with a razor to pry open the door, only forcing Mei Wei on the bed to leave. He took kung fu on his body and moved very fast. When Concubine Mei reacted, his mouth and nose were already covered by a big cold hand. At the same time, he took out a white silk in his arms and made it clear that he wanted to Strangled her.

Mei Bi's eyes widened in horror, and her whole body began to struggle.

But her strength was no better than that of the man in black. Seeing that the white silk was about to wrap her neck, Mei Yan suddenly took out the scissors hidden under the pillow and rubbed it into the arm of the man in black.

The man in black didn't expect her to have this trick. She couldn't help letting go because of the pain. Mei Fei crawled out of the bed with her hands and feet. When she passed by Xixiang, who was lying on the bed, she stabbed her shoulder with scissors. a bit.

Xixiang was stunned by Mixiang, and she woke up suddenly by such a twist.

She was still confused, and heard the screams of Mei Bin yelling for help. She raised her head, ignoring the pain on her shoulders, and saw the man in black chasing after the door. Did she follow Mei Bin since she was a child? His loyal servant rushed forward without thinking about it, and hugged the man in black's leg.

Yelled: "Manny, run!"

Fei Mei seized the opportunity to seize the door.

Her thoughts have never been so clear.

The man in black was sent by Concubine Hui to kill her. This was in the palace. Concubine Hui had to be cautious no matter how courageous she was. That's why the people in black secretly stunned them with the incense, and then sneaked into the house to strangle her, creating the illusion of hanging herself. She was not sure whether there were Hui concubines among the guards on patrol, and she did not dare to call for help hastily.

Now in the entire palace, the only one willing to save her life is Mingyue Palace.

Only they care about the truth back then.

Concubine Mei didn't even think about it, rushed out of the palace door and went straight to Mingyue Palace.

The palace in the night is like a lurking beast, like traps for cannibalism everywhere. At this time, the only one who could save her, and the only one willing to save her, was actually her enemy.

Mei Bi only found it ridiculous and sad, but her footsteps kept going. She had never run so fast in her life. I don't know whether it was God's destiny or God's last mercy. She just missed the guards who patrolled along the way, and when she ran to the Mingyue palace, she slammed into the old palace door.

The sound of banging the door alarmed the little **** who was guarding the gate late at night.

He quickly got up and opened the door, and when he saw Mei Fu, whose clothes were messy and didn't even wear shoes, he almost fainted.

Before he could say his words, Mei Yan had already pushed him away and rushed into the hall, crying and shouting as he ran, "Five princesses help! Concubine Hui wants to kill me! Ask the fifth princesses to help me!"

Lin Feilu was awakened in his sleep.

There was noisy outside the door, and the palace guards who watched the night got up, panicking and inconceivable looking at Mei Mei who was crying like a madman.

Xiao Lan moved faster than Lin Feilu. She had already got up under Qingyan's service. She walked out the door and saw Mei Fei standing outside the door with a disheveled hair. She thought she was wrong, and she was surprised after a long while: "Sister Meibi, this is doing what?"

Concubine Mei saw her, as if she saw the hope of life, she jumped up and grabbed Xiao Lan's hand: "Sister, save me! Concubine Hui wants to kill me, she sent someone to kill me! I am sorry for you, but I don't want to die, I don't want to die..."

Xiao Lan was shocked and suspicious. As soon as she pulled her into the house, Lin Feilu came over with a yawn.

Seeing Mei Yan like that, you know what happened.

It's fun to bite the dog.

She turned her head and slowly ordered Qingyan: "Go and ask the emperor to come over."
