Chapter 20 Confused
Chapter 20 Confusing
Liang Jiufong, who had been the steward of Emperor Kangxi for so many years, was not a vegetarian after all. After a while, he had an idea and found a small, dusty purse from the prince's house.
Immediately afterwards, I went to the eldest brother's place. I also found a similar small purse in the same location. I didn't dare to show it to Emperor Kangxi directly. After the adults from Taiyuan Hospital had a look, they asked someone to take a closer look.
After cleaning it carefully, it was shown to Emperor Kangxi from a distance.
"Long live Lord, we found out that it was this purse that caused the trouble. There are three of them, all under the beds of the elder brothers."
"It contained blood-stained rags and some unknown powder. Mr. Wang of Taiyuan Hospital looked at it and initially concluded that the things inside were clothes used by people who had acne, but the powder looked like human ashes.
, it was originally buried deep, and then someone dug it out, and then it became contaminated with filth."
"Age Gege, you lie on the couch and sleep peacefully every day. You are young and weak, how can you not get sick?"
"When the servant took out the purse, the ashes inside were scattered sparsely along the cracks in the wall. There were some traces of sweeping on the ground. It seems that the servant was not careful in sweeping, and encountered such a dark place.
So I swept it at will and stirred up ashes for a while, but it also harmed myself."
This is scary. The usual means of harming people in the palace is just to make a fuss about food. The more serious ones are to sprinkle some powder on clothes, but no one expected that this time it would be so vicious.
Even the ashes came out.
Ordinary people are buried in the ground, and the ashes there must have been ground out bit by bit. Just listening to it makes me feel that it is very evil, as if there is some shadow of witchcraft.
It was just before dawn, and it was the darkest time. Coupled with the rustling autumn wind, the surrounding lanterns were also extinguished, which made people feel cold all over. Looking at the three small colorful purses on the tray in Liang Jiugong's hand, he felt eerie.
To top it off, there is a fuwa-like pattern embroidered on the top, which makes it even more terrifying.
Emperor Kangxi's face was livid, his eyes were fixed on the three small purses, and he felt an indescribable sense of familiarity. He had probably never seen these purses before.
"Seal the Zhongcui Palace and arrest Mr. Ji immediately. I will confront Mr. Ji in public right now."
At first, it was said that the nobles had good intentions, but Emperor Kangxi's heirs withered and his children died in infancy, which made Emperor Kangxi very sad, and he gradually did not like to come to the harem anymore.
After a while, Ji Guiren was escorted over. Little did she know that she had done something wrong. She was expected to be dragged off the couch by these slaves. Her hair was disheveled, her body was also messy, and her skirt was stained.
It was really embarrassing to be stuck in the mud.
"You don't know what you did wrong, but you still recognize the things you made yourself. Lord Ji, I treat you well, why do you harm my children like this? Except for the prince and the eldest brother, the two princesses, you share the honor."
The nobles live together in Zhongcui Palace, so it is your fault that the elder brother Changsheng got sick!"
Yuqian was frightened by the cry, and the hand covering the prince's ear trembled slightly. Only then did she realize what the emperor's anger was. Seeing that Emperor Kangxi was so good-looking, she actually forgot about this.
He is a master who can kill people with just his words.
The lucky nobles were not favored, and their natal family was not outstanding. In order to win the favor of Emperor Kangxi, they had to come up with some unusual tricks, so they spent a lot of effort to embroider a hundred-child purse, in order to pray for the longevity of Emperor Kangxi to have many children and good fortune.
Ji Guiren knelt down as if he had lost his soul, looked at the purse handed over by Liang Jiugong, and shook his head: "I don't have such a vicious heart! Besides, I embroidered Baizi's purse back then.
It’s true, but in the end, only ten of the purses were left in the hands of my concubine, and the rest were given away.”
However, the evidence was all in front of him, and Emperor Kangxi had no choice but to believe it. He didn't have to ask Liang Jiugong to investigate further, and he gave the order in a stern voice.
Ji Guiren's voice was trembling and hoarse, and his face was full of tears. Although his face was pale, he could still see some fragile beauty.
Liang Jiugong had already expected this, and he didn't even blink. Even if he sent people to capture the lucky man, he was still sighing when he looked at the purse. The whole palace was full of people who liked to embroider this lucky doll-like style.
Ji Gui was not very smart, so he didn't ask his subordinates to do the work for him, so he embroidered stitch by stitch. In the end, his intention came out, and he was almost blind. Fortunately, he really called him Emperor Kangxi.
If you show pity, you will gain some favor.
"Yes, yes, the embroidery patterns of these Baizi's purses are different. Looking at the styles of the three purses, it should be that I gave them to Concubine Ying earlier."
Of course, everyone has this purse, and it’s not a bad idea that someone might have taken the opportunity to frame Mr. Ji. However, Emperor Kangxi was furious at the moment, and Liang Jiugong didn’t dare to say anything. He just silently asked someone to take back all the purses. Who will be there then?
It will be clear at a glance whether there is more or less.
Although Emperor Kangxi was not as ruthless and arbitrary as Yu Yan thought, he was extremely angry at this moment, and his words still seemed extremely ruthless.
"Long live my lord, I have been wronged! I don't know what I did wrong. Long live my lord, please save me..."
Who would have thought that the purse that was being prayed for now turned into a purse that was harmful to others. The auspicious nobleman came to the elder brother's house a few days ago, which made people have to doubt it.
Could it be that Emperor Kangxi took the life of the person next to him with just a few inexplicable pockets?
That's a whole hundred purses, and there are a hundred Fuwa dolls in the purses. They are all different, so you can imagine how much effort it took.
Later, it was up to the Empress Dowager to distribute the hundred purses to everyone in the harem. It would be useful to put some soothing spices and hang them on the edge of the bed, or hang them on the door and put some flowers and plants to repel mosquitoes and flies.
After telling the story of the Yingfei Empress, Ji Guiren seemed to have grasped at straws, and everyone agreed with his words.
"Empress Yingfei said that she likes Princess Princess. These three purses are embroidered with butterflies, embroidered flower ropes and mirror dressing styles. I remember clearly that these three purses were given to Empress Yingfei.
.”
"At that time, my concubine and the servants of my predecessor were all there, as was my concubine Ying and my Aunt Bai. I can testify if you think about it. I would also like to ask Lord Long Live to make it clear that I have no intention of harming my brothers and sisters!"
Who knew that this matter would involve Concubine Ying again? However, these two are the most prudent and steady people in daily life. Emperor Kangxi originally did not want to believe that this matter was done by noble Ji, but here comes another one.
He didn't believe Concubine Ying even more.
But he had to investigate. Emperor Kangxi had no choice but to invite the concubine Ying. At this time, Ji Guiren was temporarily freed from some suspicion. This tragic situation was somewhat unbearable. Emperor Kangxi asked Liang Jiugong to wear more clothes for others.
Coat, this is a great grace.
I’ll just update it today, I’ll make it up tomorrow~
