Why did Xiao Fu send Wenxi to Queen Qi?

Who is the man with the scar on his face that Wen Xi has been looking for?

Gu Changjin looked at a wintersweet branch weighed down by frost and snow outside the water chestnut lattice window, his eyebrows slightly furrowed.

Although Queen Qi and he had a cooperative relationship, Gu Changjin knew that Queen Qi was always wary of him.

He also could not completely let go of his wariness towards Queen Qi. The Qi family was ruined in his hands, and it was still unclear whether Queen Qi harbored resentment towards him.

Queen Qi has been running the harem for many years, and now the only person he can place in Kunning Palace is Xu Li'er. When Xu Li'er was at Daci'en Mountain, Hengping met her quietly.

According to the news sent by Hengping, Queen Qi met a person at Da Ci'en Temple, and that person was sent by the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Gu Changjin picked up the slip on the desk, pondered for a long time, and said: "When the Queen was in Da Ci'en Temple, the Metropolitan Procuratorate sent someone to her. Find an opportunity to go to Xu Nu Shi and see if you can get some money from her. Did you hear what the Empress said to that person?"

The chamberlain responded. Just as he was about to retreat, Gu Changjin suddenly stopped him and said, "If Xu Nu Shi doesn't know, tell her not to take the risk to find out. There is another way to find out."

"Yes."

As soon as the chamberlain left, the head of the East Palace led someone through the outer courtyard to the study.

"Your Highness, please see me."

Guan Shaowei is the county magistrate under the jurisdiction of Suzhou. Without transfer orders, he should not leave the county where he serves, unless he has serious grievances and has no way to go to Beijing.

Gu Changjin had previously heard from Rong Shu that in his previous life, Guan Shaowei had taken off his black gauze hat and personally went to the Golden Palace to vindicate Chen Mei's case.

In this life, he is still here.

Gu Changjin put down the tea cup in his hand and said: "Please come quickly."

After Guan Shaowei came in, he bowed his hands and said: "I heard that His Royal Highness is investigating the Chen Mei case. Wei Chen has other questions about the case. "

The money that Qian Da hired was secretly given by a man in black. The requirement was that after Qian Da got the money, he asked to marry Chen Mei, and he also promised that he would marry her as long as Qian Da. Chen Mei can get another hundred taels of silver, and Chen Mei will kill Qian Da on the wedding day. In other words," Guan Shaowei looked at Gu Changjin and gritted his teeth: "This is a murder case. Someone is making a plan to lure out Chen Mei's mother."

Gu Changjin nodded and said, "Chen Mei's mother is indeed not dead."

"Chen Mei mentioned to Wei Chen that her mother was involved in a conspiracy. She had to keep her name anonymous. When Cai Chen went to Dali Temple Prison, she told him that her mother had gone to see her a few days ago and vowed that she would be fine. "Guan Shaowei paused, "It's the marriage between Chen Mei and Qian Da. Even if it was invalidated, she would be imprisoned for hurting others. Wei Chen felt that Chen Mei's mother's words of safety had a different meaning. Chen Mei had fainted twice for no reason before in Suzhou, and Wei Chen asked her. None of the doctors could explain why. Wei Chen suspected that Chen Mei had been poisoned. "

Poisoned again?"

Gu Changjin's eyes flashed, and after thinking for a moment, he said: "I have something to do for Mr. Guan."

After saying that, he wrote a letter and handed it to Guan Shaowei.

Guan Shaowei was slightly surprised when he saw the contents of the letter. He quickly understood the purpose of the letter and solemnly nodded: "Wei Chen will go and do it now."

Kunning Palace side hall.

After Sun Bailong administered the injection to Wenxi, he gently opened her lower jaw and took a drop of blood from the tip of her tongue.

Xu Li'er entered the palace carrying the freshly fried medicine. When he saw this scene, he paused for a moment, then lowered his head and said softly: "Prince Sun, do you want me to feed Miss Wen the medicine right now?"

Sun Bailong agreed. Agreeing, he continued to step inside.

Sun Bailong glanced at her and remembered that this girl was the girl that His Highness the Crown Prince wanted to save before he would rather go to the Golden Palace.

Nowadays, no one in the palace knows that Xu Nushi is a popular person in front of the Queen. Looking at her proper words and deeds and her measured progress and retreat, she is completely different from her former self.

Things are different now, this girl is no longer the desperate orphan girl she once was.

Xu Li'er fed him the medicine, and Sun Bailong waited for a while. When he didn't see anything strange in Wen Xi, he breathed a sigh of relief, said a few words and left the side hall.

The branch window in the corridor was half open. Xu Li'er looked sideways and saw Sun Bailong's figure heading towards the main hall.

He was going to see the Queen, but why did the envoy of the Sun Academy take blood from the tip of Miss Wen's tongue?

Could it be to make an antidote?

Just as he was thinking about it, a thin figure walked in. Xu Li'er looked up and saw that it was Nanny Zhu, and she quickly stood up and saluted.

"I've met Zhu Shanggong."

Aunt Zhu said "hmm": "You've been waiting here for most of the day, go and have a rest. Miss Wen will be guarded by me."

As she said that, she glanced at the girl beside her . Empty medicine bowl, and said: "How can this empty bowl be left here? If you drop it, your monthly salary will be deducted again, so hurry up and send it back to the kitchen."

Aunt Zhu was the head of the female officials, Xu Li'er did not dare to say her words He didn't listen, so he had to pick up the bowl and leave.

After she left, Aunt Zhu took out her handkerchief and wiped away the sweat on Wen Xi's forehead, then quietly opened her lower jaw and took a look. She saw a red spot on the tip of her tongue, knowing that Sun Bailong had taken blood and it was stretched. A smile appeared on Banri's face.

In this room, Xu Li'er put down the bowl and went to the main hall of Kunning Palace. From a distance, he saw Yuan Sun walking easily out of Kunning Palace and headed to the Taiyuan Hospital.

Just now, the envoy from the Sun Academy was still looking nervous after taking Miss Wen's blood, but now it seemed as if some heavy burden had been lifted.

Xu Li'er felt weird.

When he returned to Si Lesi's Ministry of Internal Affairs, he hurriedly wrote a note and put it in a broken bamboo flute.

This bamboo flute was delivered to Gu Changjin at night.

Gu Changjin read the note hidden inside and combined with what Guan Shaowei said today, he gradually understood Xiao Fu's intention of setting up Chen Mei to kill her husband.

Wen Xi failed to find Ding in Suzhou, so she devised an unjust case that required her to come forward to save her daughter. At the same time, she also poisoned Chen Mei.

After Ding showed up, they used the poison on Chen Mei to force Ding to obey their orders, and used the help of the Metropolitan Procuratorate to come to Queen Qi and assign Wenxi the identity of a clan daughter.

Judging from the behavior of Queen Qi in settling Wenxi in Kunning Palace, Wenxi was probably sent to the palace as the daughter of Queen Qi and Emperor Jiayou who had been exchanged.

Taking blood from the tip of the tongue is for a marriage test.

But is Wenxi a real princess or a fake princess?

If she was a real princess, did Xiao Fu poison her and send her back to Queen Qi just to let Queen Qi watch Wenxi die? Or is Xiao Fu arranging a mission for Wen Xi to kill his father and mother?

If she is a fake princess, then the purpose of poisoning Wenxi is to use this bitter trick to make Queen Qi less suspicious of Wenxi. By then, as long as Sun Bailong detects that Wenxi and Queen Qi are blood relatives, Queen Qi and Emperor Jiayou will not Then he became suspicious of Wen Xi’s identity.

Based on Gu Changjin's understanding of Xiao Fu, it was probably the latter. Otherwise, Xiao Fu would not have needed to poison Chen Mei to control the Ding family.

In other words, if you search down the Ding family, you can find the real princess.

Gu Changjin tapped the desk with his long fingers and couldn't help but think of Wen Xi.

He and Wenxi were not childhood sweethearts. Wenxi was raised under Xiao Fu's knees, and he seemed to regard Xiao Fu as his mother.

Gu Changjin hated Xiao Fu to the core, how could he be close to Wenxi?

When they were young, Wenxi and Lin Qingyue often came to bring them things, such as various kinds of food, handmade shoes, and handkerchiefs.

Gu Changjin never accepted them. As time went by, maybe he knew that he didn't like them, or maybe he knew the difference between men and women as he got older, so gradually he came less and less.

The last time they met was when he and Rong Shu were getting married, Wen Xi came to talk to him.

"That girl was specially chosen by my mother for Brother Chang Jin. I went to show it to you. She is very beautiful. I think Brother Chang Jin will like her." She had a smile on her face, but the nervousness in her eyes gave her away. thoughts.

Gu Changjin knew that she was testing him, so he glanced at her lightly and said, "It doesn't matter whether I like her or not. Do you know why my aunt insists that I marry her?"

Perhaps hearing the impatience in his words, Wen Xi only When his impatience was directed at the fiancée who had not married yet, his expression relaxed slightly and he shook his head and said: "Mother never told me, probably because -"

Before he could finish speaking, Grandma An said Xun came over and interrupted her.

Gu Changjin lowered his eyes, what were the unfinished words of Wen Xi at that time?

Because of what?

The snow is falling harder and harder, and the red walls and green tiles are gradually covered with a layer of frosty white.

The palace servants of Kunning Palace got up early in the morning to clear snow and knock ice.

After the queen returned from praying for blessings, Gu Changjin came to pay his respects to his aunt-mother, so he came to Kunning Palace as soon as he went to court.

Empress Qi had no intention of playing the role of a loving mother and a filial son with him. She only left him to eat two cups of tea, and then sent Aunt Gui to send him out of Kunning Palace.

As soon as Gu Changjin left, Queen Qi went to the side hall to accompany Wenxi.

The envoy of Sun Hospital gave them a blood test and found that Wen Xi was indeed her child.

Now the child was poisoned by a strange poison and fell into a coma for most of the past two days. Occasionally he woke up and could not speak a few words.

The more this happened, the more Empress Qi felt sorry for her. In the following days, she personally rubbed her body and gave her medicine, hoping to make up for all the debt she owed in the past.

On November 21st, Wenxi woke up early in the morning.

Ying Ying Zhuo Zhuo's voice came from the corridor. It was the chatter between the two palace ladies who had been transferred to the side hall to serve her.

"Have you heard? The people from the Cheng'an Marquis Mansion actually colluded with Qi Heng and did a lot of things for the former one." A little palace maid with a soft voice said.

The "former one" is the former second prince Xiao Yu.

"I have heard about it." An older voice replied: "It was the Dali Temple where Marquis Chengan personally took the younger members of the clan. Not only did he submit the evidence of the crime and the confession, but he also returned the The imperial certificate requested the emperor to deprive the Rong family of the title. "

The little palace lady couldn't help but sigh: "The glory and wealth are really gone in one day."

Wen Xi frowned slightly.

She also knew little about the Rong family. Her mother did not tell her in detail. She only knew that her father's cooperation with the Rong family was just to have a back-up to deal a fatal blow to the Qi family.

Now that the Qi family has collapsed, things still happen to the Rong family, which she never expected.

She couldn't help but feel a little anxious, what about the Shen family and her father?

Will he be implicated?

She had no chance to see her mother when she came back from Suzhou, and she didn't know what was happening to the Shen family now.

In a state of confusion, I suddenly heard the little palace maid say in a low voice: "I heard that His Highness the Crown Prince left for the Marquis of Cheng'an's Mansion. His Royal Highness was once the son-in-law of the Marquis of Cheng'an. Only the Marquis of Cheng'an's family looked down upon him. That's why His Royal Highness the Prince and the eldest daughter of the Rong family have reconciled. "

It's Brother Chang Jin.

When Wen Xi closed his eyes, he couldn't help but think: Why did he go to the Rong family?

But as for Rong Shu, she had already heard from Rong Ze last night about Rong Xun's decision not to separate the families and to go to Dali Temple to plead guilty.

Rongze came to Mingluyuan specially and said to her: "After my grandmother woke up, she fainted again just after listening to the third uncle's words. When she woke up again, half of her body could no longer move. Only her father asked her again whether she wanted to separate the family. When it came time to return the title, my grandmother chose to return it."

When Rong Ze said this, his eyes couldn't help but become complicated.

In Rong Ze's memory, Mrs. Rong and his third uncle always treated him well, even better than they treated Zhao Zhao.

A-niang sent him to the academy and then to the Imperial College in the past, probably so that he could stay in the Marquis Mansion less often. She was afraid that if she got too close to the Rong family, she would complain about her cruelty in the future.

But Grandma never expected that her grandmother and third uncle would choose to give up their titles in order to keep the first and second houses.

Twenty-two years ago, my grandfather, his father, his second uncle, and his third uncle came to Shangjing with great ambition, transforming the Rong family from an ordinary military household in Taiyuan Prefecture into a noble family.

Now that the prosperity has dissipated and the Rong family has been deprived of their title, it is a blessing to be able to return to Taiyuan Mansion and become a military household.

"If I can go back to Taiyuan Prefecture, then I can ride my horse to drive away the enemy like my father." Rong Ze said with a smile: "I have a dull talent. After studying for so many years, I am just a scholar. Finally, I no longer have to worry about science. I can't sleep due to the exam."

After the Rong family surrenders to Dali Temple tomorrow, Rong Ze will also be deprived of his honors and will not be allowed to participate in the imperial examination in the future. Not only Rongze, but Erlang, Sanlang and Shilang also lost the qualification to participate in the imperial examination.

Unless you have made great achievements or received the grace of a saint.

Rong Shu knew all this. From the day she returned to Cheng'an Hou Mansion, she guessed what happened to the first and second bedrooms. What she didn't expect was that Madam Rong and her father would rather give up their titles than split up the family.

"I originally advised my third uncle to separate the family, but he refused. The third uncle said that he couldn't write a word 'rong' in one stroke, so he had to either stay in Shangjing or go back to Taiyuan Mansion together. He also said that the title belonged to my grandfather and his father-in-law. My father earned it, so it’s only right to exchange this title for the peace of the eldest and second bedrooms. "

It was indeed my grandfather and father who earned this title, but it is only human nature if the third uncle is unwilling to return the title.

Rong Ze looked at the falling snow under the dark sky, and said softly: "The big house owes the third house, I will always remember it." When

a family falls, some people will never recover from then on, and will soon be wiped out. Everyone, but some people will work hard and come back from the trough step by step.

The path of the latter is far more difficult than the path of the former.

The elder brother in Rong Shu's impression was actually a person who didn't like to argue. The light shining in his eyes at this moment was something Rong Shu had never seen before, as if something had sprouted in his heart.

Rong Ze handed a heavy box in his hand to Rong Shu and said, "My mother asked me to give this to you. She asked me to say sorry to you and my third aunt. After something happened to the Rong family, the Shen family will also suffer." You and Third Aunt are the most innocent people involved."

Rong Shu's eyes were a little wet, but he refused to accept it.

Rong Ze smiled again and said, "If you don't accept this wooden box, it will be confiscated tomorrow."

Rong Shu then accepted it, "Brother, don't worry, even if the Shen family is implicated, my mother and I will be fine. " ."

Rong Ze said "Yes": "Brother, I know."

After delivering the things, Rong Ze went back to Cheng'an Hou Mansion.

The next day, before dawn, I followed Rong Xun to Dali Temple.

Li Meng, the minister of Dali Temple, received Rong Xun's confession and was immediately shocked.

He is well-informed. He has already heard about His Highness the Crown Prince taking Prince Huai'an to Minglu Mountain a few days ago, and now he doesn't know what to do about it.

The Xing family has shown weakness, and the eldest prince is even preparing to invite himself to the south to become a vassal.

Li Meng, the big prince, is trying every means to make good friends with the East Palace, so the matter of the Cheng'an Marquis Mansion cannot be messed up.

So he quietly sent someone to the East Palace to find out what was going on. When he heard that he would be dealt with impartially, he knew that His Highness the Crown Prince was not willing to bail.

So he hurriedly wrote a memorial and sent it to the inner court, waiting for the emperor's approval. The memorial was returned to him that day.

Emperor Jiayou gave him a thumbs-up, and he was demoted to a commoner and sent back to the Taiyuan Prefectural Guard.

Before coming to Beijing, the Rong family was a military household in Daizhou, Taiyuan Prefecture, and their ancestors had served in the guard post for generations. Now allowing them to go back to Daizhou can be regarded as opening up the net and leaving a way for the Rong family to survive.

Li Meng immediately led a large number of official servants to Qilin East Street and removed the gold-lettered plaque of the Marquis of Cheng'an Mansion.

When the plaque was smashed to the ground, Rong Shu was standing outside the gate of Cheng'an Hou Mansion.

Rong Xun walked out from inside carrying Mrs. Rong on his back. When he caught a glimpse of Rong Shu's figure, his steps stopped and he froze in place.

Mrs. Rong's chin rested weakly on Rong Xun's shoulder. When she noticed that Rong Xun had stopped, she raised her eyelids with difficulty and looked out.

Standing outside was her least favorite grandson, and it was she who forced the third family members of the Rong family to quarrel and lay bare their past grudges in front of others.

She even gave up her father's surname and just went to live a good life with her mother.

Mrs. Rong originally thought that she would be furious if she saw her again. But when I really saw her, the spark in my heart couldn't ignite at all, and was extinguished in a few moments.

In the final analysis, it was not her fault that the Rong family ended up where it did today.

"Let...her...go." Mrs. Rong gasped.

Anything good to see?

Soon all the people in Beijing would come to see the fun. Even though she gave up her father's surname, in the eyes of others, she was still a member of the Rong family. By then, he may have received a lot of spit.

Now that you have to leave, leave decisively and don’t come back again!

Rong Xun seemed as if he hadn't heard anything. He looked past Rong Shu and looked around. He didn't see Shen Yizhen's figure, and his heart felt empty.

The saint was merciful. Although he deprived the Rong family of their title, he did not deprive the Rong family of their military status. They could go back to their ancestral homeland in Taiyuan Prefecture and start over again.

They were leaving today. Is Zhenniang not even willing to come and see him for the last time?
