Chapter 124 Zhongshun Mansion Self-defeating
The stage was still babbling and singing, and the Zhaoyang Hall was still lively, and no one's interest was affected by Princess Dongping's early departure.A few plain words from Daiyu disgraced Princess Dongping and Princess Anning, and made those women who had underestimated Daiyu put aside their scorn, and no longer dared to think of Daiyu as a little girl with unresolved world affairs.
Concubine Shen Shu, who was sitting diagonally across from Daiyu, looked at Daiyu quietly during the banquet, and recalling her son's words, she couldn't help but be moved.This Lin Daiyu has only been in the palace for a few months, and she has already received the hearts of the emperor, empress and prince. It can be seen that she is cunning and scheming. If she loses herself to her son, she will definitely not be able to be the princess. As the concubine of Jian County, all girls are single-minded. As long as Shui Ling is her husband, she dares not to plan for Shui Leng. This way, it will be of great benefit to her son.
The queen saw Concubine Shen Shu sneaking up on Daiyu from time to time, and there was a hint of calculation in her eyes that couldn't be hidden. Concubine Shen Shu had been in the palace for many years, and she was able to avoid many schemes and give birth to a prince, and was promoted to Concubine Shu. Knowing that she must have moved her mind on Daiyu, she secretly became vigilant and made up her mind to protect Daiyu.Seeing Concubine Shen Shu's twinkling eyes was also Princess Bei Jing, she raised her eyes to glance at Concubine Shen Shu, and flew over with a hint of warning.After receiving the warning from Princess Beijing, Shen Shu was startled first, and then she became more determined. Even if she wanted to vent her anger, she would let Lin Daiyu lose her life to her son.
Seeing that the palace banquet was coming to an end, Princess Zhongshun was secretly worried, if the little devil at home knew that she hadn't done anything, she might cause a huge disturbance.At this moment, she saw Daiyu's maid quietly approaching Yingxia and whispered a few words to her, Yingxia whispered back to the queen, and the queen looked at Daiyu and nodded slightly with a smile.Daiyu just got up and went to the side hall to change clothes.
Seeing that there was no chance to lose, Princess Zhongshun hurriedly got up and said that she wanted to change clothes, and also went to the side hall.
After Daiyu finished changing, Princess Zhongshun came to find her while she was washing her hands.Although Daiyu was younger than Princess Zhongshun, she just smiled and nodded.Concubine Zhongshun saluted lightly and said, "I have seen Princess Jiangxian."
Daiyu turned her body slightly to show her modesty, and said lightly: "Princess, please do what you want." After speaking, she took the small silver stove carved with lotus flowers from Lan Xin's hand, and was about to go out.Princess Zhongshun couldn't let Daiyu go away, so she said with a smile: "Hold on, princess."
Daiyu turned around and asked shallowly, "Is the princess okay?"
Princess Zhongshun said with a smile on her face: "I just have something to say to the princess." Princess Zhongshun approached Daiyu while speaking, let go of the two clasped hands, raised her right hand to support the hairpin on her head as if unintentionally , the afternoon sun came through the window lattice, and just hit Princess Zhongshun's hand, and saw a faint green light flashing in the eyes of Song Yun, who was standing by and serving, Song Yun's heart suddenly tightened.
I saw Princess Zhongshun's right hand slowly falling, it was about to land on the back of Daiyu's snow-white hand covering the small silver hand stove, Song Yun didn't have time to think too much, just pretended to be dizzy, and fell softly on Daiyu's body, just in time to put Daiyu Yu squeezed into Lan Xin's arms, avoiding Princess Zhongshun's right hand.Dai Yulan was shocked, but Song Yun secretly defended Lan's heart.Lan Xin understood immediately, and supported Daiyu and said, "Princess, don't worry, Songyun may be dizzy for a while, and this servant will give her a pulse. Sit down and rest for a while." While speaking, Lan Xin held Daiyu blocked behind him.At this time, Song Yun let out another "ah", and rushed towards Princess Zhongshun. Princess Zhongshun was startled and instinctively reached out to push Songyun, but unfortunately, Songyun's hand was on Zhongshun's On the finger of the princess, she lightly pressed down on Princess Zhongshun's finger, and the tip of Princess Zhongshun's middle finger was pierced with a bloody hole by the ring poisoned with wolf arrow grass.The toxin immediately goes up along the pericardium meridian.Before Princess Zhongshun could call for help, she passed out and fell to the ground.Princess Zhongshun's maid was shocked, one hurried to help Princess Zhongshun, and the other grabbed Song Yun and shouted: "Come on, catch the assassin..."
Princess Zhongshun's complexion quickly turned black, and she knew she had been poisoned at a glance.Daiyu understood, she said in a deep voice: "What's your name, why don't you go back to the empress and ask the imperial doctor to save your concubine! Can your concubine wake up if you just hold on to the princess' maid?"
Hearing the call for help from Princess Zhongshun's maid, all the maids serving outside ran in. Daiyu calmly ordered: "Quickly go and report to the empress, please call the imperial physician to inform Prince Zhongshun and the prince. Lan Xin, take care of me first." Stay in the heart of the princess, and wait for the imperial doctor to come to detoxify."
Hearing that Princess Zhongshun was poisoned, the queen hurried over, seeing that Daiyu had controlled the situation, the queen breathed a sigh of relief, and asked in a deep voice, "Why hasn't the imperial physician arrived yet?"
While speaking, an imperial doctor ran over panting, wiped his sweat while knelt down and said: "Empress, the minister is here."
The queen said in a deep voice: "Quickly give Princess Zhongshun a diagnosis and treatment."
The imperial doctor hurriedly stepped forward to make a diagnosis, the maid opened Princess Zhongshun's right hand, and exclaimed in surprise, "Why is the princess's hand broken?" The imperial doctor took out the poison test silver needle and dipped some blood on the tip of Princess Zhongshun's right middle finger. The silver needle brush turned black, and the imperial doctor hurriedly said: "The princess is poisoned, drug boy, quickly bring the detoxification pill, first relieve the poison and protect the heart veins."
Daiyu stood beside the queen and said calmly: "Just now I ordered the maid to protect the heart of the princess, please detoxify the imperial doctor as soon as possible." poison."
Hearing what the imperial doctor said, the maid who twisted Songyun just now knelt down to the queen and said, "Return to the queen, just now Princess Lin's maid suddenly fell on our princess. Our princess was fine, but when she fell down, the princess fell Being poisoned, she must be the one who harmed the princess, and begged the empress to make decisions for our princess."
Song Yun immediately knelt down and said aggrievedly: "Reporting to the Empress, the slave girl fell dizzy just now, and accidentally bumped into the Empress Wang, the servant was convicted, but the servant did not harm the Empress, I beg the Empress to learn from her."
"Ouch..." Another maid of Princess Zhongshun was squeezing out some blood from the wound on Princess Zhongshun's middle finger according to the doctor's request. The princess had a poisoned ring on her middle finger, and a small blood hole was pierced on her thumb. The toxin traveled up the Taiyin lung meridian of the hand, and the maid just screamed and fell limp and passed out.Except for Song Yun's clear mind and Dai Yulan's faint sense of something, everyone else was shocked. The queen said in a deep voice, "Emperor doctor, what's going on?"
The imperial doctor hastily turned around and kowtowed, asking the queen empress Rongchen to look carefully. "The queen hummed heavily, and the imperial physician, regardless of etiquette, immediately lifted Princess Zhongshun's sleeve, revealing her half-covered right hand, and saw a green light on the ring on the middle finger of Princess Zhongshun, with a little The imperial physician carefully removed the ring, tried it with a silver needle, then turned to the queen and said, "Reporting to the empress, the princess must have been poisoned by the ring. Rong Chen went back to check carefully and found out what poison it was." To detoxify. The queen nodded, and ordered people to carry Princess Zhongshun and the maid to the side room of the side hall, and said to Song Yun: "The ring is on Princess Zhongshun's hand, it cannot be poisoned by you, get up." "
The maid who was kneeling on the ground to testify against Song Yun was dumbfounded, she didn't know what to do for a while, so she could only lie on the ground and dare not raise her head.The queen said indifferently: "Tie up this maid who slanders others and send her to the palace prison, and she will be released after the New Year." Huanxia took two strong nuns to tie up the maid and sent her to the palace prison to be imprisoned. stand up.The queen took Daiyu's hand again and said softly to her: "Yu'er, you are shocked, my aunt did not take good care of you."
Daiyu shook her head and said, "Auntie, Yu'er is fine, don't worry."
Daiyu accompanied the Queen back to Zhaoyang Palace, everyone saw that Princess Zhongshun did not come out, and they all guessed what happened in their hearts, but in the palace, it is kingly way to ask what should not be asked, so no one asked anything clearly.Daiyu returned to her seat, whispered a few words to Princess Beijing, Princess Beijing frowned slightly, and asked her personal maid to give some instructions, and the maid quietly retreated to find the little girl who was with Shui Rong Sister, let him call out Shui Rong, after talking to Shui Rong for a few words, Shui Rong nodded with his brows furrowed, and went to the Imperial Hospital.
The palace banquet was over for a while, and the wives left the palace. The queen left Princess Beijing and Daiyu behind, and went into the inner room to dismiss all the serving maids. The queen asked, "Yu'er, what happened just now?" matter?"
Daiyu said straightforwardly: "Princess Zhongshun came over just now, she wanted to touch Yu'er's hand with the hand wearing the poison ring, Song Yun found something in her hand glowing green, maybe there is something wrong The organ pretended to be dizzy and pushed Yu'er away, and she threw herself on Princess Zhongshun. As for why Princess Zhongshun let her ring stab her, Yu'er didn't know. I had to ask Song Yun." The queen nodded and said: "Well, then let Songyun come in."
Daiyu opened the door and called out, "Songyun, come in."
Songyun was waiting in the corridor far away, when she heard Daiyu's summons, she quickly walked into the inner room with a small step, she knelt down in front of the queen, the queen smiled and said: "I know you are loyal, as expected, you saved me today." Yu'er, I should reward you well."
Song Yun kowtowed and straightened up and said: "Going back to the Empress, it is the servant's duty to take care of the Princess, and I dare not be a reward from the Empress, and the servant will have to plead guilty to the Empress."
The Queen nodded and said, "Talk about it."
Song Yun told the whole story, the queen nodded and smiled and said, "So that's what Princess Zhongshun did to herself. It's not your fault. If she didn't have bad intentions, she couldn't poison herself. Song Yun, You have done a good job, I can feel relieved to have you loyal girls taking care of Yu'er, get up."
Song Yun stood up and returned to Daiyu's side, Daiyu said softly: "Auntie, I heard Senior Brother Rong talk about Uncle Shui's poisoning a few days ago, and Yu'er feels that Princess Zhongshun's poisoning today is very similar to Uncle Shui's. If this is the case, Uncle Shui's assassination may have something to do with Prince Zhongshun's residence."
The queen stared and asked urgently: "Yu'er, is this true?"
Princess Beijing hurriedly hugged Daiyu into her arms and said angrily: "What kind of temper did the empress throw at Yu JL? I'm in the hospital, and the poison on the ring will be clear. Even if it's the same poison, try to find a way to manage Zhongshun Palace, why are you staring at Yu'er."
The queen hurriedly explained: "Yu'er, my aunt didn't mean to attack you, it's just that your words really surprised my aunt..."
Daiyu smiled softly: "Auntie, don't say that, Yu'er understands what Auntie means. Yu'er is just guessing, maybe she guessed wrong and I don't know."
Empress Sheng snatched Daiyu from Princess Beijing's arms, put her arms around her and said, "Yu'er is still caring, Yu'er, no matter what kind of poison it is, it is an indisputable fact that Princess Zhongshun intends to harm you. The sergeant is sent by their mansion, good boy, you just follow your aunt these few days, don’t go there.”
Daiyu was slightly troubled, and said softly: "Auntie forgot that Yu'er will ask for an order to return to the hometown to worship the ancestors tomorrow?"
The queen sighed softly and said, "Yu'er, my aunt is really worried about you going north now. Princess Zhongshun is the daughter of the chief of the Di clan, and the Di clan is very powerful in the north, so my aunt is afraid that it will not be safe."
Daiyu comforted her with a smile: "Auntie, these elder brothers have told Yu'er that Yu'er is going to the north to pretend to be a kid, so no one will recognize her, so you just need to rest assured."
The queen sighed and said: "What a silly child, mother, who can rest assured that his child will take risks, Yu'er, although you were not born by me, in my heart, you are the same as Qi'er , are all the flesh on the tip of my heart."
Daiyu leaned against the queen and said softly: "Auntie, Yu'er also treats you like a mother. Parents will be in trouble. How can children not do their best? What's more, Yu'er is not alone in this trip. There are Brother Qi and Brother Rong."
Princess Beijing stepped forward and caressed Daiyu's delicate and fair cheeks and said softly: "My good boy, I'm sorry for you."
Daiyu smiled sweetly and said, "You two aunts, don't worry, there are two great masters, Brother Chi and Brother Rong, and there will be no more danger."
Both the queen and Princess Beijing knew that Daiyu was comforting themselves, so they could only smile and nod to suppress their worries.
King Zhongshun and his son jumped up immediately when they heard that Princess Zhongshun was poisoned. The father and son came to the Xibei Hall of Zhaoyang Palace. When they saw Princess Zhongshun's appearance, King Zhongshun knew that she had been poisoned by the wolf arrow. King Zhongshun turned his back Seeing the maid sent by the Queen to serve Princess Zhongshun, she touched Princess Zhongshun, but found no antidote, and he couldn't help feeling anxious. It wasn't because of his deep feelings for Princess Zhongshun, but the power behind Princess Zhongshun Wang wanted it.Zhou Sheng's original intention was not to poison anyone to death, but to see if Shui Rong could detoxify the poison of wolf arrow grass. He rolled his eyes and shouted: "Father, please quickly invite the prince of Beijing. The prince was poisoned, he was the one who rescued him. He will definitely be able to cure the concubine mother."
The antidote for the wolf arrow herb poison was taken by Princess Zhongshun herself, and no one except her knew where the antidote was hidden. Now that Princess Zhongshun is unconscious, she has no other choice but to ask for water to dissolve it.King Zhongshun had no choice but to sigh and said, "Forget it, I'll ask for it myself." After speaking, he turned and went out to find Shui Rong.
Shui Rong went to Tai Tai Hospital for a poison test, and it really was the poison his father was poisoned that day.Shui Rong was furious in his heart, but suppressed it not to burst out, so he hurriedly left the Imperial Hospital, and found the emperor and King Beijing who were having a secret conversation in the imperial study.
As soon as Shui Rong entered the imperial study room, he couldn't hold back his anger, knelt down in front of the emperor, and said angrily, "Your majesty, please issue an order to depose King Zhongshun and search Prince Zhongshun's residence."
The emperor frowned, and asked slowly: "Rong'er, what happened?"
King Beijing scolded in a deep voice: "Shui Rong, do you still have any rules? You can talk about important affairs in the court, so you don't want to get out."
Shui Rong said anxiously: "Father, you were assassinated at the border, it was the Zhongshun Prince's Mansion."
The emperor's face was serious, and he said in a deep voice: "Rong'er, get up and talk carefully."
Shui Rong got up and stood down with his hands down, and explained what happened just now in detail. The emperor was furious, and overturned the chess board on the kang table, and the clouds fell all over the ground with a crackling sound.The guards on duty outside the imperial study could not help but shrink their necks in fright, for fear that the emperor would let someone in right now.Gonggong Lu, who was waiting on the sidelines, saw Shui Rong come in with a bad face, so he went to the small suite in the imperial study room lightly, so he was not attacked by those Yunzi.
"Your Majesty, please calm down." Unexpectedly, King Beijing Jing didn't seem to be angry at all. Instead, he calmly persuaded the Emperor. This servant is too rampant, I must not let him go." The emperor suddenly felt something was wrong, his elder brother is such a hot-tempered person, how could he not be angry when he heard who murdered him, the emperor looked suspiciously Xiang Beijing asked puzzledly: "Brother, are you not angry?" Beijing Wang said lightly: "Angry."
The emperor became more and more puzzled, and asked again: "Why can't I see it when I'm angry?"
King Bei Jing still said indifferently: "My anger was exhausted with your help."
Hearing this, the emperor shook his head and smiled wryly, "Brother, it's no wonder that Ruhaiken and you are sworn brothers, so you are actually the same kind of people." King Beijing shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, that's not the case. I, don't get angry when things happen, because if you get angry, you will be upset, and if you are upset, you will fail. I tried my best to do what he said, and I really benefited a lot. If I had heard the news half a year ago, I'm afraid that you, the imperial study Nothing left."
The emperor nodded, and said in a deep voice: "So that's the case. Brother, how do you think we should deal with the Zhongshun Palace?"
King Beijing said calmly: "Don't move, just wait and see what happens."
Shui Rong said anxiously: "How can this be done? Father, they want to kill you!"
King Bei Jing frowned and said: "Rong'er, Father Wang knows it well, but now we are doing something if we do nothing..."
Shui Rong didn't quite understand, and was about to ask more clearly, but someone outside the imperial study said loudly: "My minister Zhou Ze begs to see my emperor, long live."
