It was not until sunset that Wang Rui's condition stabilized, but her face was very haggard. It was obvious that she had been seriously injured. Zhu Biao sat beside her bed and gave her medicine in person.
Scooping up the dark medicinal soup, exhaling gently to cool it down, and then carefully feeding it to her lips. Wang Rui did not cry or angrily ask the father of the child in her belly to make the decision for her.
After waking up, she touched her belly and felt that the child was still alive, so she accepted everything calmly and drank the bitter soup obediently, just like she had done in the past years, as if she could just swallow it.
Zhu Biao felt a little guilty and comforted him softly: "Rest peacefully, the imperial doctor will stay in the East Palace to take care of you. Now that I am back, nothing will happen to you again."
Wang Rui looked around and said softly: "The two dowry maids that I brought from Goryeo have always been loyal. They should have nothing to do with this matter. Can I let them come back to serve me?"
"Okay, it's all up to you, but there are still things to verify at this time, so I will ask them to come back to keep you company tomorrow."
After Wang Rui finished speaking, she felt drowsy and tired. She closed her eyes and fell asleep again shortly after. The imperial doctor came over to take her pulse. Once she had an idea, she went out to adjust the prescription.
"If there is anything going on here with Liang Di, you must inform me at any time."
"promise."
Now the palace servants serving here are all carefully selected by Liu Jin, not to mention that they are on the cusp of such a storm. It is expected that Hui Hui will do his best to take care of him, so Zhu Biao just gave a few simple instructions and left.
Back in the dormitory, Zhao Ting'er was kneeling in front of the princess and crying: "It must be a frame-up. I have never met Baojuan, and I don't even know who she is. How could I instigate her to murder Wang Liangdi? I beg you."
The Crown Princess has learned the truth and will return my concubine's innocence."
"I believe you, but since she admitted it was you, I have to ask anyway." Chang Luohua saw Zhu Biao and stood up quickly: "Your Highness."
"Well, no gifts."
After Zhu Biao sat down, he looked at the pitiful Zhao Ting'er and said, "There's no storm without fire. Go back and copy a copy of the Medicine Master's Sutra. It's a blessing for Liang Di and a way to ward off disasters for yourself."
"promise."
Just then Liu Jin hurriedly walked in and reported: "Sir, Wu Liangyuan left a suicide note and hanged herself!"
Zhao Ting'er was so frightened that she fell to the ground: "Why did Sister Wu hang herself suddenly? This..."
Zhu Biao and the Crown Princess looked at each other. It seemed that it was her. She had the intention to do evil but did not dare to bear the consequences. She had no choice but to commit suicide. Unexpectedly, this person did not endure the torture for a long time. It can be seen that
His heart was filled with panic.
At this moment, Zhao Huai'an came in with a new confession: "Master, after seeing her brother and sister-in-law, the palace maid committed suicide and finally confessed. She identified Wu Liangyuan from Fangyuan Pavilion as the one who ordered the poisoning of Liangdi. It was also she who ordered her to poison Liangdi if she was desperate.
Just trap Zhao Chengwei."
Zhu Biao reached out to Liu Jin, who immediately handed over the suicide note in his hand. The handwriting was scrawled, and there were even some missing lines and strokes. He read it at a glance, and it was filled with words of regret, begging not to implicate the family, and finally scolding Zhao Ting'er Mingli.
Secretly tempting her to go astray.
After reading it, Zhu Biao frowned and handed it to his wife beside him. Seeing Zhao Ting'er who was still sobbing, he ordered: "Come here, help Chengwei go back and rest."
"promise."
Chang Luohua was very angry after seeing it. You must know that there was news in the palace that she was involved in this matter. Once such a thing is rumored, all the truth will be false.
How could she, the majestic Crown Princess, have two legitimate sons under her knees, harm the fetus of a princess from a foreign vassal who didn't even know the gender of her baby yet?
"Wu is the daughter of Wu Fang, the commander of the Taiyuan Guards and the Protector of the Army. We have long heard that he has always been arrogant and pampered with his children. Now he has to pay the price for it."
After Chang Luohua finished speaking, he asked again: "The last thing Wu's guilty wife said was Zhao's instigation. I wonder what your plan is?"
"It's not good to expand the impact of this matter. Her matter will be discussed later. Moreover, the so-called instigation was not caused by her own evil intentions. She thought that there were only two Liangdi positions, poisoned Wang Rui and framed Li Yan, and finally put the blame on
Zhao Ting'er."
"Humph, it was a good idea, but it's a pity that the thing was done stupidly."
After Yan Bi ordered Liu Jin: "Now that we have found out, we will release the innocent people. However, those who are not good at protecting the Lord will still be punished. Those who have been punished will be fine. The rest will be expelled, and Wang Liangdi's dowry maid will be put back immediately."
.”
"promise."
……………
At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang was drinking tea in Kunning Palace. All the palace residents with gloomy faces were frightened. Seeing this, Empress Ma personally served her husband tea and cakes.
"Why hasn't there been any news from Biao'er?"
"It must be close. Didn't you let Mao Xiang pass?" Empress Ma comforted her, "Fortunately, the Wang family has been stabilized for the time being. In the end, the lives of mother and son were saved."
Zhu Yuanzhang snorted dissatisfied: "After all, it hurts the foundation. It's hard to raise a good child, let alone... hmph!"
After all, he is his grandson. Lao Zhu was also afraid that his words would damage his child's short life and happiness, so he suppressed his anger and stopped what he was about to say.
Soon Liu Jin came over and explained the matter in detail, but he hid the section about Zhao Ting'er in the suicide note, which was obviously the prince's order.
After hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang stood up and left, and ordered the eunuch to immediately summon Mao Xiang, the commander of the Duwei Mansion, to come. Empress Ma knew at a glance that the whole Wu family would inevitably go to Xingtai.
But Empress Ma didn't dissuade her. She had only met the Wang family a few times, and she had never been friendly to him. But anyway, she had her own grandson in her belly. How could she not be annoyed when something like this happened?
What's more, this kind of thing is not severely punished to warn the world.
Then there is no telling how many of the emperor's heirs will be lost in the palace in the future. This is something she cannot tolerate as a queen. Not to mention just a guard, even the noble marquis cannot escape.
Soon a group of Qingqi, led by Mao Xiang, galloped out of the capital. Many people in the capital silently breathed a sigh of relief, especially the noble officials and nobles whose families had female attendants in the East Palace.
When the prince returned to Beijing today, countless pairs of eyes were staring at the East Palace. Something happened inexplicably, and naturally they couldn't hide it. Everyone was on tenterhooks, fearing that it was their daughter who did something stupid.
Now that I see Qingqi leaving Beijing, I know that it has nothing to do with them anymore, and my family and life are saved. This is the benefit of raising children well.
As soon as the fear subsided, he began to speculate enthusiastically about whose family was unlucky, and by the way, he made some interesting remarks about rumors and news.
After everyone returned home, they inevitably reminded their wives to educate their daughters well. Now it seems that it is not only sons but also daughters who can influence the fate of the family.
Those whose families had daughters serving in the East Palace or the Harem also hurriedly wrote letters to be sent to the palace tomorrow, reminding them to serve the monarch with caution and not to do anything that would disgrace their family status.
…………
The king of Jin Dynasty, Zhu Xiang, was drinking with Mr. Hu in his palace. It was planned that the two brothers would drink and celebrate together in the evening, and cleanse their eldest brother from the dust. But something like this happened in the East Palace, so the banquet was naturally broken up.
Zhu Xi listened to the news from the eunuch and drank several glasses of wine with an inexplicable expression. Fortunately, Mrs. Hu had been vigilant and had already sent the slaves down. Those who could stay were all the servants of the King of Jin. Otherwise, if this gesture spread, it would be a disaster.
Bringing misfortune.
Not to mention the prince, even if the Holy One knew about it, he would definitely teach him a lesson.
"Your Highness, you should be scolding Mrs. Wu. How could you drink several glasses of wine without saying a word?"
"There are no outsiders here, so why bother." Zhu Xi smiled wildly and said: "I never expected that my eldest brother would encounter such a thing. I thought that my eldest brother was really the son of God, blessed by immortals and Buddhas, and that his life would be smooth and smooth.
Woolen cloth."
Mrs. Hu was talking but her hands did not stop, and she poured fine wine into King Jin's wine glass gently: "When I hear that the king is not secretive, he will lose his ministers; if he is not secretive, he will lose his virginity; if he does not keep secrets in a few things, he will be harmed."
This is a true principle, and Your Highness should also take a warning from it."
When Zhu Xi was happy, he followed the good deeds. After drinking all the wine in the glass, he smashed the glass to the ground: "Wu's bitch! She dared to murder the emperor's brother and heirs. I can't wait to kill her with my own hands to express my anger."
Anger in my heart!"
"Your Highness's sincerity as a serving brother is an example of the Heavenly Family's ancestral priests."
After hearing this, several people in the dormitory immediately went out and spread the message of His Royal Highness Prince Jin's grief and indignation. The other older princes' words from the dormitory were also similar.
