Let us say that after Sanfu came out of the palace, he drove the carriage to Liu Yuan's house in a familiar way. After getting off at the door, he limped in.
Liu Yuan, who was sitting listlessly in the courtyard, looked ecstatic when he saw him coming in. He ran over and took his hand and said: "Eunuch Fu, you are finally here. I have always wanted to find you, but the palace gate guard
It's so tight that I can't get in."
Sanfu looked surprised and said: "Looking for our house? What's wrong?"
"Eunuch Ning came to me again later and asked me...let me..." At this point, Liu Yuan's eyes showed deep fear. The more anxious he wanted to say it, the less he could say it. He was too anxious.
Sweating profusely.
Sanfu patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't be impatient. Speak slowly. Haven't you finished writing the letter? Why did Xiao Ningzi come to you again?"
Liu Yuan nodded vigorously, pulled Sanfu into the room, and then said shocking words, "Xiao Ningzi came to me and asked me to write the imperial edict of succession!"
Sanfu, who had been quite calm just now, suddenly stiffened when he heard these words and stared at Liu Yuandao: "Please tell us the matter carefully, don't miss a word."
Liu Yuan quickly explained the cause and effect, and then said: "I wanted to inform Eunuch Fu about you, but you never came. I couldn't enter the palace and couldn't deliver the news. But I was so anxious. Fortunately, you came today.
,How about, everything in the palace is still fine?"
"There hasn't been any big trouble yet." Sanfu didn't know much about today's events, so he couldn't tell for a while what the purpose of the succession edict that Xiao Ningzi asked Liu Yuan to write was for.
at.
After thinking for a moment, he said: "Let's not talk about this for now. You will come into the palace with our family immediately. The master wants to see you."
Liu Yuan's eyes widened and he said in disbelief: "The noble concubine wants to see me?"
"Not only the imperial concubine, but also the emperor, the matter of the letter has been exposed." After saying this, he urged: "We will discuss the specific matters on the way, and hurry up."
Liu Yuan did not dare to neglect, and after a few brief explanations with his wife, he followed Sanfu into the carriage. When the carriage stopped at the gate of the palace, Liu Yuan also learned the general story of the matter from Sanfu's mouth.
After getting off the carriage, facing the palace that was still solemn and majestic even in the sunset, Liu Yuan shrank and did not dare to enter. For this Forbidden City, anyone who comes here for the first time will have a kind of inner fear.
Sanfu understood his mood, patted his shoulder and said: "Don't be afraid, just come in with our family."
Liu Yuan did not dare to answer, but nodded slightly, and followed Sanfu to the palace gate. With Ling Ruo's token there, the guards did not embarrass Liu Yuan, and let him in after checking.
Sanfu took Liu Yuan and hurried to Chengqian Palace. By this time, it was already dark. His legs were not good to begin with. If he continued to walk in the dark like this, he quickly fell. Liu Yuan helped him up and said, "Fu
Father-in-law, are you okay?"
Sanfu patted the dust on his clothes and said nonchalantly: "It's okay, it's okay. Let's go quickly. We're all waiting for you!"
Liu Yuan agreed and helped him all the way to Chengqian Palace. At this time, lights were already lit inside and outside Chengqian Palace, making it as bright as day.
When Sanfu and Liu Yuan appeared in the main hall, Xiao Ningzi's head was buzzing, as if someone had hit him hard on the head. He kept closing his eyes and opening them again, hoping to see for himself
Wrong, but that person is definitely Liu Yuan.
Why, why would Sanfu find him? This is wrong, this is not right at all. He is the only one who knows Liu Yuan, and Sanfu has no reason to know!
No matter how much Xiao Ningzi denied it in her heart, the fact was the fact, Sanfu had indeed brought Liu Yuan.
After they knelt down, Yinzhen said: "Sanfu, is he the one who copied?"
"Returning to the emperor, it is true that this person's surname is Liu Mingyuan. He is a scholar with a failed criminal record. He sets up a stall in the capital to make a living by writing letters for others and selling some copies of ancient calligraphy and paintings. What he is best at is copying.
road."
Yang Hai, who had retreated outside the palace at this time, heard this and lowered his head and murmured: "Isn't the person Xiao Ningzi is looking for named Wang Liang? How can you bring back a person named Liu Yuan?"
Shui Xiu, who was standing next to him, heard this and whispered: "Could it be that Eunuch Fu couldn't find anyone, so he randomly found someone to come back to excuse his master?"
Yang Hai shook his head and said, "I don't know either. I always feel weird about this matter today."
After listening to Sanfu's words, Yinzhen nodded slightly, threw all the letters from "Hongshi" and "Yunli" in front of Liu Yuan, and said, "Look, are these letters all written by you?"
Liu Yuanzhan picked up the letters cautiously, and after reading them carefully, he said in a trembling voice: "Yes, they are all written by ordinary people."
Although Yinzhen already had the answer in his heart, he couldn't help but feel relieved when he heard Liu Yuan's admission, "Do you know whose handwriting you are imitating?"
"The common people know that it's Prince Guo and the second elder brother." As soon as Liu Yuan finished speaking, Yinzhen shouted sharply: "Since you know, why do you still write such a forged letter? If the truth cannot be found out in time, do you know
How many people will be killed?”
Liu Yuan hurriedly knelt down and trembled: "The grass people know, but the grass people dare not disobey, because once the grass people refuse, Eunuch Ning will have people kill the grass people and his family. The grass people do this out of helplessness, please, Your Majesty
Mingjian.”
Xiao Ningzi said sharply: "You are so bold and cunning, don't talk nonsense here. I just asked you to copy the handwriting of the second elder brother on the order of Imperial Concubine Xi. Do you know when I asked you to copy the handwriting of Prince Guo?"
At this moment, I have committed the crime of deceiving the emperor!"
Liu Yuan suddenly raised his head, stared at Xiao Ningzi and said: "No, Cao Min didn't lie. You asked Cao Min to write these two letters, and you threatened the lives of Cao Min's family. If not, Cao Min would have done nothing to harm others by not writing.
letters."
"Absurd!" After Xiao Ningzi cursed, he kowtowed to Yinzhen and said in a panic: "Your Majesty, this person is clearly the person the imperial concubine has found to excuse her. In fact, the person the slave is looking for is not him at all.
The one the slave was looking for
Man..." He lowered his head and rolled his eyes, saying: "His name is clearly Wang Liang, how could he be this Liu Yuan? It is clearly Concubine Xi who deliberately found such a person of unknown origin in order to escape guilt. Your Majesty, please give me a million dollars.
Don't believe him."
Yinzhen turned his gaze to the latter, who nodded slightly and said: "Xiao Ningzi, do you really think that I don't know what you and your master have planned against me? Wang Liang...heh, Xiao Ningzi, you made the calculation
It’s really good.”
Facing Xiao Ningzi's expression as if he had seen a ghost, Ling Ruo bowed to Yinzhen and said: "Your Majesty, it's easy to prove whether Liu Yuan is the person who copied the letter. Just let him copy it in front of the Emperor.
