Chapter 181, Setting the blame? Concubine Lan Gui's mother and son under confinement!
Have a good night's sleep.
Yue Wangshu stood up lazily, but found that Yan Laoliu had not left, "It's already this hour, why is Liu Lang still here?"
Yan Zheng smiled warmly: "Such a thrilling incident happened yesterday, so I naturally want to spend more time with you. Don't worry, there won't be any important matters right now. I can leave some small matters to the cabinet ministers."
Yan Zheng held her hand and said softly: "There is a martial law in the nine cities right now. Wangshu will not leave the palace for the time being."
Yue Wangshu nodded. After all, such a big thing had happened. It was impossible to ensure that there were assassins' accomplices outside.
Yan Zheng sighed: "The son of a rich man can't sit down in the hall. After all, the pharmacy is a bit of a mixed bag."
Yue Wangshu frowned. This was a bit unpleasant to hear, but she couldn't refute it. Even if there were no assassins, crowds would inevitably cause confusion, such as medical trouble. Even if the health pharmacy had good medical skills and a good reputation, it would occasionally happen.
I encountered it, but I had my own embroidery guards to deal with it. Before that, nothing major happened.
"But don't worry, I have strictly ordered the Xiuyi Guards to investigate this matter thoroughly. Regardless of whether it is the leader or an accomplice, I will never tolerate it!" Yan Zheng assured again seriously.
"Liu Lang should ask Xiuyiwei to be more cautious and try not to implicate innocent people..." Xiuyiwei is an irregular organization after all. Although Yue Wangshu believes in their ability, he cannot trust their character.
"Of course I don't have to worry about this. You can rest peacefully. After some time, the truth will come to light."
In the days that followed, the Xiuyi Guards made the entire imperial city tremble with fear, and an indescribable aura of fear spread throughout the palace.
For this reason, the imperial concubine urgently summoned her to Yikang Palace for questioning, "The Ai family heard that the emperor went on a patrol incognito a few days ago and was assassinated? Is this true?"
Yue Wangshu: ...where did this rhetoric come from?
"This..." Yue Wangshu hesitated.
"The emperor has already told the Ai family, what else do you have to hide!" The noble concubine stamped her feet.
Huh? The dog emperor lied to his aunt like this?
What else could Yue Wangshu say, he could only nod his head and said: "It does happen, but the Emperor is fine. Please rest assured, Your Highness."
"How can the Ai family feel at ease?" The imperial concubine looked anxious, "Who is so bold as to assassinate the emperor?!"
"I don't know this." It was the emperor's brother-in-law who did it, but instead of assassinating the emperor, he assassinated her.
Yan Laoliu deliberately announced this to the outside world to make things worse!
Can the assassination of a noble concubine and the assassination of the emperor be the same thing?
Now, even if the Xiuyi Guards turn the imperial city upside down, no matter how dissatisfied the courtiers and cabinet ministers are, they will never dare to stop it. This is a major conspiracy to investigate! Anyone who stops it will be suspected of being a comrade.
?!
Yue Wangshu couldn't help but feel flustered. This was too big a fuss...
At this moment, Concubine Lan Gui Shen rushed into Concubine Gui's bedroom in a panic, and the palace people couldn't even stop her!
Amid Yue Wangshu's surprise and the concubine's displeasure, Concubine Lan fell to her knees and cried: "My concubine! I am really unjust!"
For a moment, Yue Wangshu was a little confused. Was he wronged? Among the concubines in the harem, Concubine Lan was undoubtedly the coldest and calmest. She didn't know how wronged she had been, but she would be so rude?!
Yue Wangshu quickly stood up and helped her: "If you have anything to say, get up and speak slowly."
Concubine Lan shed tears and shook her head, "My concubine, my concubine's mother's brothers and nephews were all taken into prison by the Xiuyi Guards! It is said that they had secret dealings with the assassin! Concubine, this is impossible! Concubine
My brothers are all scholars, how could they do such a heinous thing?!"
Hearing these words, the noble concubine couldn't help but look solemn.
Yue Wangshu couldn't help but be a little surprised. Lan Guibi's brother had contact with the assassin? Isn't this... Meng Dongchuan the real culprit behind the scenes? How could the Shen brothers be involved?
At this moment, the imperial steward Zhang Ji came to Yikang Palace with a straight face. He respectfully greeted the noble concubine and concubine first, and then read out the edict to Concubine Lan who was kneeling on the ground: "The emperor has a decree:
Consort Shen of Langui is banned from Weirui Palace from today, and the third prince is under house arrest in the Prince's Palace. No one is allowed to visit without an edict!"
The color drained from Lan Guifei's face in an instant: "No, I was wronged! Someone must have put the blame on me! Please tell your father-in-law to the emperor and ask him to investigate thoroughly!"
Zhang Ji showed no mercy at all. He waved his hand and asked two eunuchs to fight the noble concubine. Then he bowed and said, "I have resigned."
After a long time, the noble concubine came back to her senses, "Lan Guifei, Cheng Jin... no, no, no, this is impossible!" The noble concubine shook her head quickly, and grabbed Yue Wangshu's hand, "Noble concubine, this is
The matter is of great importance, so go and accompany the emperor, but don't rush to plead for mercy, just serve the emperor well and don't let him be too impulsive."
I think Yan Laoliu is quite calm.
"Yes, I, my concubine, will go right away."
She also wanted to ask, is it really related to the Shen family?
If we say which brother is the most useful among the concubines in the harem, it must be Lan Guifei. Lan Guifei's late father once served as a minister. His eldest brother is now the minister of the Ministry of Rites, and the second brother is an official in the Hanlin Academy.
.In terms of official position, it is actually higher than that of the Yu family, the mother family of the emperor.
But it is hard for Yue Wangshu to believe that he and Lan Guifei are in the same party and rebel against each other in this matter.
He hurried to the emperor's palace.
"Liu Lang, how did this embroidered guard find out about the Shen family?" Yue Wangshu saw the emperor retreating and asked directly, "Is this a mistake somewhere?"
Yan Zheng looked coldly: "There is no mistake. The assassin that day was a well-known ranger in the capital. In the past few months, he had been in close contact with Lan Guibin's most incompetent younger brother."
Yue Wangshu breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. In other words, it has nothing to do with Lan Guibi's two brothers who are officials. "In other words, it is Lan Guibi's younger brother who has been taken advantage of?"
Yan Zheng said calmly: "About 80% right." This was the first tip Meng Shu gave.
"In that case, why did Liu Lang imprison Lan Guifei and her son?" This is so scary!
Yan Zheng smiled slightly: "Firstly, it is indeed related to the Shen family. If so, we should conduct a thorough investigation. Secondly... it can also make some people relax their vigilance."
Yue Wangshu suddenly realized that this was to secretly investigate Meng Dongchuan!
Yan Zheng thought to himself, of course, there is also a third purpose, which is to beat the Shen family. But there is no need to tell Wang Shu.
"If you put it this way, this matter is indeed the work of Meng Dongchuan alone. He has no accomplices and is treasonous." Yue Wangshu asked hurriedly.
Yan Zheng's brows were also relieved, "I am very pleased that Cheng Zhen was not confused."
Yue Wangshu: Co-author, you are suspicious of your eldest son!
But I have to admit that with Meng Dongchuan betting so hard, the person being bet will naturally become suspicious. The second prince is called the second son, but he is actually the eldest son of the emperor and the adopted son of Queen Meng. His companion is Meng Dongchuan's direct son.
The eldest son Meng Yuanqing!
"Don't worry, Shen and Cheng Jin won't be imprisoned for too long. I will let them out after I finish cooking them." Yan Zheng's gentle tone contained murderous intent.
