The gifts from Princess Ji and Princess Qi also arrived.
What Princess Ji gave as a gift was a jadeite statue of Guanyin, which was very beautifully carved. It was of the highest quality and worth a lot of money. This time, Princess Ji made a heavy investment and spent a lot of money.
Yuan Qingling was not surprised that she would give heavy gifts. Princess Ji always did the best in matters concerning her face.
In comparison, the gift sent by Princess Qi Chu Mingcui was a bit shabby.
It's two ginseng roots and some angelica root.
Chu Mingcui is a pragmatic person and doesn't do any window-dressing. She doesn't like Yuan Qingling, and she doesn't want to see her pregnant. So sending these things is probably the decision of the retainers in the palace to express their feelings.
After all, they are all my sisters-in-law, so if they don’t give anything or don’t ask questions, it would seem stingy and narrow-minded.
If you really want to send food or medicinal materials, you know that Princess Chu won’t eat them, so there’s no need to make too many arrangements.
His mother-in-law wanted to find a place to place the Guanyin, but when she wiped it, she discovered that there was a crack in the back of the Guanyin.
This crack is not obvious. If you hadn't looked carefully, you would have thought it was the jade texture or jade root.
All Buddha statues must be carved in perfect condition.
What does it mean to give a cracked Avalokitesvara Guanyin as a gift?
His grandma was very angry and informed Aunt Xi.
Aunt Xi said: "Forget it, just put it aside and talk to the prince. Don't tell the princess, lest she get angry."
His mother said angrily: "Princess Ji also deceived others too much. Isn't this a curse? I have never seen such a black-hearted woman."
Her mother-in-law has always been careful with her words. She would never criticize a princess and her master like this before. She would even scold Lu Ya when she said something rude.
But she felt that something like this should not go wrong or be taboo.
This is something very ominous.
If you don't notice it, you take this statue and put it in the room, and the princess faces this cracked Guanyin statue day and night, which is really unlucky.
Grandma Xi was also angry.
However, if you are angry, there is nothing you can do about it. After all, the thing was not found when it was returned, and now it is said that there are cracks. How do you know that it is not provoking trouble and framed accusations?
She said: "Forget it, let's put it away first."
When Yu Wenhao came back, his mother-in-law went to tell him about this.
After hearing this, Yu Wenhao was furious.
Lao Yuan has been vomiting half to death in the past few days. Although he has not been bleeding for several days in bed, his condition has not improved much. He is extremely distressed. Princess Ji even deliberately made her feel sick. Lao Yuan is in a bad situation now and cannot be angry. If he calls her
You know, once you get angry, wouldn't it mean that you have fetal gas again?
Yu Wenhao himself had never been so angry when he was assassinated.
You can touch him, but there is no need to discuss touching him.
The next day, he returned to the government office early in the morning and took the head catcher and several government officials to Prince Ji's Mansion, saying that Concubine Liu's death was still suspicious and needed to be investigated carefully.
King Ji has already gone to Tingjiang Mansion to suppress the bandits, but even if he is here, Yu Wenhao can't swallow it.
When he led people to the outside of Princess Ji's courtyard, he said loudly: "You all wear masks for me. Princess Ji's disease is contagious. If you get the disease, you will die. If you don't want to enter the gate of hell, put on the mask."
The belt is tight."
Every sentence is a door to hell, and every sentence is a word of death, which makes people tremble with fear.
Princess Ji naturally heard it inside, her face was stiff, but she managed to squeeze out a weird smile.
Yu Wenhao went in, and Princess Ji sat on the couch because she was sick, and said with a calm expression: "Is the fifth brother here?"
Yu Wenhao stared at her and said: "Sister-in-law, I'm sorry to disturb you in your recovery, but there is one thing that I must ask my sister-in-law again. Please don't hide it."
Princess Ji said: "It doesn't matter. From what I heard from my fifth brother, I am already about to die. Naturally, I have nothing to hide."
Yu Wenhao looked at her cold face and thought of the Guanyin statue she gave him. He felt angry and said: "Sister-in-law, don't be discouraged. This disease is not fatal. You can take medicine regularly according to the doctor's advice. Maybe you can survive for two or three days."
Year."
There was anger in Princess Ji's eyes, she held the white porcelain cup in her hand, her fingers were pale and bone-shattering, "Fifth brother hasn't said why he's here yet."
Yu Wenhao calmed down and changed his business-like expression, "That's it. Recently, I received an anonymous tip saying that Concubine Liu was forced to death by her sister-in-law. The sister-in-law used Concubine Liu's family as a threat to force Concubine Liu to die.
The concubine threw herself into the lake and committed suicide."
Princess Ji said coldly: "Why should I do this?"
Yu Wenhao looked at her and said coldly: "The secret report said that Princess Ji had no chance of having a child. She was afraid that the concubine would give birth to a brother, which would threaten Princess Ji's status, so she had the intention to kill, but if she did it herself, she would always
He was found out, so he forced Concubine Liu to commit suicide by throwing herself into the lake. Since she committed suicide by throwing herself into the lake, no matter how hard she investigates, she can't find Princess Ji's head."
Princess Ji's expression changed several times. Finally, she forced a smile and looked at Yu Wenhao, "Fifth brother also believes this nonsense?"
Yu Wenhao said: "That's why I came here to ask for clarification. If Princess Ji denies it, this person is making a false accusation, and I will investigate it further."
Princess Ji sneered, "Investigation?"
Admit it, it is absolutely impossible.
But as the case continues to be investigated, I don’t know how long this trouble will last. And once the investigation is made public, even if it is finally found to be a false accusation, the story of her coercing the concubine to commit suicide will probably spread among the people.
She felt resentful in her heart, but could not speak.
After a moment of silence, she softened and coughed, "Is it because the fifth brother is so insistent on giving away his son to Guanyin?"
Yu Wenhao looked at her pitifully, "What's going on with sending your son to Guanyin? I don't know."
Princess Ji looked guilty and said: "That Guanyin, I gave it to Princess Chu sincerely, but I didn't know that the people underneath were shady. I didn't know that there were cracks in the ground when Guanyin fell, so I asked for forgiveness after I sent it.
If fifth brother is responsible for this, my sister-in-law will apologize to you."
With that said, she stood up and faced Yu Wenhao.
Yu Wenhao looked at her with no expression on his face, "The people below have done something wrong, and my sister-in-law should teach them a lesson."
Princess Ji immediately shouted, "Come on, bring Xiaoqing up to me."
At that moment, a little maid was dragged in and forced to kneel in front of Yu Wenhao.
The little maid was only fifteen or sixteen years old, her eyes were filled with panic and her body was trembling.
Princess Ji said angrily: "You accidentally dropped the Guanyin Guanyin that I gave to Princess Chu. If it's cracked, you dare to send it to the princess? How many lives do you have to give it to me? Come on, give it to me.
!”
The little maid fell to the ground, shaking her head subconsciously, her eyes filled with tears.
A stout nun came forward, grabbed the collar of the little maid, raised her palm and slapped her down hard, saying angrily: "I'll beat you to death for this ignorant little bitch, you dare to offend me."
Yu Wenhao shouted sharply, "Wait a minute!"
Grandma was startled for a moment, then took a step back and looked at Yu Wenhao, "My lord, please don't plead for this little bitch. She deserves what she deserves. Fortunately, Princess Chu didn't get angry and did anything good. Otherwise, her death would not be enough to atone for her crime."
