When I returned to the mansion after the birthday party, it was already midnight.
The dim sum people were in a good mood today. They collected many first-year gifts and drove them back to the palace one by one.
When they returned to the mansion, they all fell asleep. The wet nurse carried them back to sleep. Xue Lang and Duobao followed, but Yu Wenhao shouted angrily, "Duobao, stop!"
Duobao ran away quickly.
Yu Wenhao was so angry that he turned around and said to Yuan Qing: "You have to take care of it, otherwise it will be crazy and bite people again."
But Yuan Qingling gently pulled his sleeve and said, "Go back to the house, I have something to tell you."
Yu Wenhao saw her serious expression and remembered that she had not spoken a word all the way back, so he knew that something had happened.
The two of them entered Xiaoyue Pavilion, and after Man'er came over to make tea, they sent them out and closed the door.
"What's wrong?
Your face doesn't look good."
Yu Wenhao reached out and stroked her face, "Are you tired?"
Yuan Qingling held his hand and put it on her knees, shaking her head, "You're not tired, Lao Wu, I suspect that the man in black who attacked Lu Yuan is Prince Bao."
"How can it be?"
Yu Wenhao shook his head in surprise, "Isn't this impossible?
How could you say that?
Is there any basis for this?"
Yuan Qing Ling said: "Do you still remember when I asked Duobao to smell the things on the saddle?
Duobao smelled it, and it was Prince Bao. Think about it, Duobao never attacks people on its own initiative. It understands human nature. Especially in today's situation, since it can be brought out, it knows how to behave. How could it bite people for no reason?
And he won’t bite anyone, he will only bite Prince Bao.”
But Yu Wenhao still felt a little unconvinced, "Duobao smelled the saddle many days ago, can he remember the smell so clearly?
Besides, the reason why it bit the uncle was not necessarily because it smelled something unusual, maybe it was just that the emperor scolded it or drove it away."
Yuan Qing Lingyan said categorically: "Duobao did say it was the smell from the saddle. I believe Duobao."
"Dobao said that?"
Yu Wenhao looked at her with some helplessness, "But Lao Yuan, you understand animal language, but I can't tell anyone that because Duobao bit the emperor's uncle, he is the man in black, and Duobao is always a dog,
The meaning it expresses may not be what you understand.”
He cannot communicate with dogs, so from the perspective of handling the case, we cannot completely believe Yuan Qingling's words.
"Besides, are you really sure?"
Yu Wenhao asked.
Yuan Qingling hesitated for a moment, "This... you say you are absolutely sure, but I dare not say it."
The meaning of Duobao barking at her was very clear, but as Lao Wu said, you can't rely on a dog to prove it.
However, Prince Bao is indeed suspicious.
"Lao Wu," Yuan Qingling thought for a moment and said, "Actually, Prince Bao still needs to investigate. He can contact his father. Moreover, his father, Prince Yu, died unjustly and was executed by the whole family. This
What a shocking injustice?
Although he was rehabilitated, does he not hold any grudge in his heart?
This is not in line with human nature. Anything that goes against human nature is somewhat suspicious. You have to investigate anyway, so you might as well investigate him again."
Yu Wenhao said: "Actually, I have sent someone to follow you. It's not that I have any doubts about the emperor's uncle. As you said, I will investigate anyone who can often enter the palace to have close contact with my father. Even if I calmly say that I
We have sent people to follow us to prevent any oversights."
Yuan Qing Ling said: "Well, since you have a plan, I won't say more, lest my words affect your judgment."
Yu Wenhao nodded, kissed her, held her hand and looked into her eyes, "In the blink of an eye, all the dim sums have turned one year old. This year has gone by so fast."
"yes."
Yuan Qingling couldn't help but sigh, "However, a lot of things have happened in the past two years, and they are very torturous."
She stretched out her hand to smooth the hair on his temples, and stroked the scar on his face with her fingertips. The scar had faded a lot, and it didn't look ugly, but it added a bit of madness.
The couple sat on the Arhat's bed and cuddled up to each other. When they talked about what happened a year ago, they both found it thrilling, but fortunately, they all came to terms with it one by one.
The days after the storm always have a sense of tranquility.
The next month was very calm, but nothing good happened.
The construction of part of the school building is almost completed, and the doctors have been found. With the help of Fourth Master and Rong Yue, this is really an easy task.
During this month, enrollment is also in progress. Among the first batch of students recruited, they are all literate and hyphenated, thus eliminating the need for literacy teaching.
Grandma Yuan served as the dean, and Dr. Cao became the deputy dean. The class officially started in early June.
The opening of this college is a grand event in Beijing, attracting many people to rush to attend.
The weather is gradually getting hotter. The summer heat in Beijing is very uncomfortable. It has just entered June, and the bright sun is shining above the head, making people feel dizzy.
The Queen Mother was admiring new lotuses in the Royal Garden a few days ago. She suffered from heatstroke. After returning to the palace, she felt dizzy and vomited. The royal doctor prescribed soup and tea to drive away the heat. After drinking it for two days, she did not feel better. Instead, she became more and more drowsy.
Emperor Ming Yuan sent a message to Yuan Qing Ling to go to the palace to treat the Empress Dowager. She was diagnosed with heat stroke and prescribed medicine. She was asked to rest for two more days and the palace should be ventilated.
The Queen Mother lay sickly on the bed, looked at Yuan Qing and sighed, "My body is useless. The disease can be cured, but this heart disease cannot be cured."
Yuan Qingling knew that the Queen Mother's health had been deteriorating day by day since the incident of beating Concubine Xian. Later, the incident with Prince Ji happened. Although she saved her life, the Queen Mother was really heartbroken.
Yuan Qingling comforted her and told her not to think too much.
The Queen Mother looked at her with tears in her eyes, "I have had many bumps and bumps along the way since I was a daughter, but fortunately my life has been smooth, but in my later years I have been hit hard. Your mother-in-law committed those disobedient things, and it was my fault.
A big pain in her heart, no matter what, it was her own fault after all. If she dies, she will die. The living should not worry about the dead. Only the boss is alone outside. What kind of life do you think he lives?
Concubine Qin came over to say hello a few days ago and said that he is now drunk all the time and not doing his job properly. He has no one around him except two servants. He divorced his wife and his concubine left him. What do you think should be done? "
Yuan Qingling knew that she would definitely be worried about Yu Wenjun, but what could be done?
She said softly: "Royal Grandmother, just take care of your health and he will be fine. It's better to be like this now. As long as he is willing, life will be easy."
"But is he willing?
He is the emperor's eldest son."
The Queen Mother sighed and frowned more and more, "I don't have much time left, so I just thought that if I could see him again and say a few words, it wouldn't be a waste of the friendship between ancestors and grandsons in this life. There is also the third child, what do you think?
It’s been so long since I’ve been gone, why haven’t I received any letter back?
What a sin, how come the descendants of the royal family are so miserable?"
Yuan Qing Ling said: "The King of Wei sent a letter, and when the children were one year old, they also asked people to send gold locks."
"I'm afraid I'll never see you again in this life."
The Queen Mother was upset and depressed, and became increasingly depressed.
