Wang Yuanji was suddenly so mysterious. Liu Chan was a little curious, but he didn't ask any more questions. Wang Yuanji waited until Zhou Ren left, then came to him and whispered: "Your Majesty!"
"What's the matter with my beloved concubine?"
"Concubine, I found it."
"???"
Liu Chan was stunned for a moment, wondering what he found?
After being stunned for a short time, she looked at Wang Yuanji with some surprise: "What's the result?"
He remembered,
It was shortly after Zhang Yuan was diagnosed with smallpox, and Liu Chan felt that this matter would not be that simple.
First of all, Zhang Yuan lived deep in the inner palace. How did smallpox spread to the harem?
Check!
Check it for me.
Originally, Liu Chan wanted to investigate among the maids and eunuchs of Jiaofang Palace, but just when he was about to gather the maids and eunuchs of Jiaofang Palace for questioning, he learned that someone in Zaruo Palace was also infected with smallpox, so Liu Chan's self-examination action also
Just put it aside for now.
However, Liu Chan later asked Wang Yuanji to investigate the matter secretly.
"Return to Your Majesty!" Wang Yuanji said: "Just as Your Majesty expected,
This epidemic was deliberately introduced into the harem."
"???"
This immediately shocked Liu Chan.
"There is an eunuch named Chen Yuan in the imperial kitchen..." Wang Yuanji said, suddenly paused and looked outside, and then continued: "This man went home to visit relatives two months ago and returned to Weiyang Palace a month ago.
”
"Where is he from?" Liu Chan asked.
"Hedong——" Wang Yuanji said.
"Hedong?" Liu Chan was stunned.
But Wang Yuanji was very sure, she said: "It's Hedong."
!!!
This is a bit surprising. You must know that Hedong County was the territory that the Han Dynasty took from Cao Wei by winning the Battle of Jinzhong half a year ago.
But this Chen Yuan is actually the eunuch of the imperial dining room of Weiyang Palace.
I feel scared when I think about this.
Did you know that the imperial dining room is the place where the emperor, queen mother, and concubines in the harem are responsible for the meals?
"How did this person enter the palace?" Liu Chan asked.
"Back to Your Majesty!" Wang Yuanji said: "This man's ancestral home is Hedong, but his family moved to Fufeng County many years ago. When the capital was moved, Chen Yuan came to Weiyang Palace as an errand."
Hearing this, Liu Chan's originally nervous thoughts,
I feel more relaxed.
After all, these are troubled times. Sometimes people cannot survive in one place and move their families to other places.
This is also a common thing.
"On April 23rd, Chen Yuan was allowed to leave the palace and go home to visit relatives;" Wang Yuanji said: "On April 26th, he returned to his hometown in Fufeng."
This doesn’t seem to be a problem?
Just when Liu Chan was wondering, Wang Yuanji paused and then said: "He only stayed in Fufeng County for two days, and went to Hedong County early on the 28th."
"???"
Your family has moved to Fufeng County, and you finally went home to visit your relatives. Why would you go to your ancestral home instead of accompanying your family in your hometown?
"On May 4th, Chen Yuan returned to Hedong..." Wang Yuanji said, suddenly frowning, she said: "According to neighbors near Chen Yuan's ancestral residence, Chen Yuan did not go back alone this time, but
My family moved back to Hedong."
Moving?
Why?
This made Liu Chan a little curious. Since they had moved from Hedong to Guanzhong many years ago, Hedong had just been captured by the Han, but their family had moved back.
According to normal understanding, Hedong is not as safe as Guanzhong now.
Because Hedong originally belonged to Cao Wei,
This time they suffered a defeat, the emperor was captured, and Hedong was forced to be transferred to the Han Dynasty. As a common people, there was no need to think about it. Cao Wei might lead troops to attack at any time, and they would definitely want to regain the lost territory.
"Keep talking-" Liu Chan said.
Wang Yuanji: "After Chen Yuan's family returned to Hedong, they held a big banquet in the village to give back to the neighbors... It's just..." As she said that, Wang Yuanji's face became a little ugly: "It's just Chen Yuan's family, and they just stay in Hedong.
In less than ten days, they all disappeared from the world, as if they had never returned to Hedong."
"Where is Chen Yuan now?" Liu Chan asked hurriedly.
Wang Yuanji shook her head and said: "Dead!"
Before Liu Chan could speak, Wang Yuanji added: "In the low months of May, Chen Yuan returned to the imperial kitchen as a servant... A few days later, the queen was confirmed to be infected with smallpox."
This——
Is there any connection between them?
Liu Chan looked confused.
"At the beginning of last month, Chen Yuan went out with the palace people to buy food..." Wang Yuanji said: "After leaving the palace, he did not return to the palace. Until yesterday, a body was found in the western suburbs of Chang'an. After verification, it was confirmed that he was Chen
Yuan, died of smallpox."
Hearing this, Liu Chan roughly understood what happened, but before he could speak, Wang Yuanji said again: "I have found out that Chen Yuan was actually infected with smallpox when he returned to the palace from visiting relatives, and just when he returned
On the second day of the palace, I personally came to Jiaofang Palace to deliver meals."
"Bastard!" Liu Chan suddenly became furious.
It turned out that this bastard brought smallpox into the palace and then infected it to Queen Zhang Yuan.
But although Liu Chan was very angry, now that Chen Yuan was dead, no matter how angry he was, it seemed that it would not help, after all, the queen had passed away.
"Send people immediately and arrest all relatives of Chen Yuan." Liu Chan roared.
However, Wang Yuanji shook her head and said: "It's too late, Your Majesty. His relatives are no longer in the Han Dynasty and have already gone to Luoyang."
"After Chen Yuan's family stayed in Hedong for a few days, they all disappeared. In fact, they went to Luoyang quietly at that time."
Luoyang?
Liu Chan was shocked and seemed to have thought of something.
"Did Cao Wei do this?" Liu Chan asked.
At this time, Wang Yuanji shook her head and said that she didn't know, because she only found out that Chen Yuan brought smallpox to Weiyang Palace. At the same time, after Chen Yuan returned to the palace, he personally delivered meals to the queen, and then the queen contracted the disease.
Smallpox.
Apart from the fact that Chen Yuan's family had moved to Luoyang, she didn't know anything else.
It's just such an obvious thing. You don't need to think about it to know that it has something to do with Cao Wei.
Otherwise, if the Chen Yuan family was living well in Fufeng County, why would they move to Luoyang if they had nothing to do? Could it be that their family disliked the powerful man and wanted to go to Cao Wei, which had just experienced a defeat?
Liu Chan was very angry. Now that the truth had been found out and he knew who killed his queen, he could not avenge his queen.
What's more important is that a spy actually appeared in his palace.
"Keep checking!" Liu Chan roared: "Look at how many of Cao Wei's masterpieces are in the Weiyang Palace."
Chen Yuan's family went to Luoyang, but he brought smallpox into the palace and poisoned it. Don't think too much about it. Chen Yuan was a spy of Cao Wei. As for when he became a spy, it is no longer important.
Since the Weiyang Palace can have Chen Yuan, a master of Cao Wei, it cannot be ruled out that there are also his accomplices in the Weiyang Palace.
This must be investigated, and it must be investigated as soon as possible.
"Your Majesty, don't worry!" Wang Yuanji said: "I have arranged for someone to check."
As the imperial concubine of the Han Dynasty, Wang Yuanji naturally knew the seriousness of the matter after she found out about Chen Yuan.
