Chapter 416 Poisoning Incident

Since Wen Youshan and Wen Yuanliang went to Mobei, Chen Ningya discussed with Zhuo Qianyu and sent the child to Zhuo's family to study. Those ordinary schools outside can be compared. Sending Zhuo Qianyu there can be assured, and Chen Ningya can also be at ease, and the children can also receive orthodox training.

Just as Chen Ningya was talking, the twins were sent back by the Zhuo family the next day. Seeing that it would be New Year's Eve in two days, although Chen Ningya missed Wen Youshan's father and son who could not return home, she still cheered up and talked with Wen Yuan. Jing made food and gadgets for the children together.

On the evening of the New Year's Eve, only Chen Ningya, Wen Yuanjing and a pair of twins were sitting in the main room. Zhuo Qianyu couldn't give birth in confinement, and Chen Ningya didn't dare to let her come out to see the wind. The four of them stared at each other. The delicious food on the table, although it was enjoyable to eat, was lacking in taste, especially when the two children couldn't sit still.

  Chen Ningya was thinking about how the Chinese New Year in Mobei is now. While distracted, Qi Zixi wore an official robe and entered the door with a solemn expression.

   "What's going on?" Chen Ningya felt her heart skip a beat and stood up unconsciously.

Tonight is a palace banquet. With Qi Zixi's rank, he is not qualified to attend the banquet. At this moment, he should accompany his parents, wife and children to the New Year's Eve dinner. Even if he wants to come, he should not wear an official uniform. .

Qi Zixi walked around the big round table and came to Chen Ningya, lowered his voice and said, "Something happened! The fifth prince died inexplicably, the seventh prince was poisoned, and the sixth prince became the key suspect. The emperor was furious. Although he imprisoned the sixth prince, he All those who attended the banquet were not allowed to leave the palace. There are still a lot of people in Chengqing Palace. It seems that the emperor is going to judge even those people together.

Only the censors of the left capital, the censors of the right capital, the censors of the left deputy capital, the censors of the right deputy capital, the censors of the left and the capital, the censors of the right and the capital, the ministers of the Dali Temple, the Zuo Shaoqing of the Dali Temple, and the right Shaoqing of the Dali Temple. , Minister of Punishment, Zuo Shilang, and Right Shilang of Punishment Department, officials of the third division and fifth rank are also among the suspects, and they are not qualified for trial. They can only order all officials below the fourth rank to enter the palace.

  I was better in the Hanlin Academy. Yuanhong belonged to Dali Temple. He entered the palace as soon as he received the order. There was no spare time to come here.

   By the way, I would also like to remind you, don’t go out of the house for the past few days, I don’t think this is over. "

Wen Yuanjing, who was listening attentively, asked with wide eyes and puzzled: "Brother-in-law, why is this matter not over? If a fifth prince died, isn't there still other princes? Could it be that the emperor would kill everyone just because of one fifth prince? people?"

Qi Zixi shook his head, "You are still young, you don't understand, the fifth prince is the only son of Concubine Ling, and the emperor's favorite prince. If there is no such accident, the throne should be the fifth prince. Now that the fifth prince is gone, the emperor Leaving aside, Concubine Ling will definitely not give up, and what is even worse is that this year, the Prince of Dingbei also came to Beijing for a banquet. , the situation is complicated.”

  Chen Ningya fell down and sat down as if she had lost her strength, and murmured: "I knew, I knew something was going to happen, I didn't expect it to be such a big thing. Did he die like this? So suddenly."

   Qi Zixi saw Chen Ningya's strange reaction, but he didn't bother to ask any further questions, and told him again, and let the two children who were having a good time enter the door when they went out.

   The servants noticed that the master looked wrong, and hurried forward to persuade the two little masters to enter the house, and collected their firecrackers by the way.

  I don't know when it started, but the sound of fireworks from a distance disappeared, and the courtyard was also silent, making it seem that this New Year's Eve was getting colder and desolate.

Wen Yuanjing grabbed Chen Ningya's hand worriedly, and whispered to comfort: "Mother, those things will not affect our family at all, as for the second brother, he is a seventh-rank official, even if he goes to the palace for errands. It's not his turn to come out, he will be safe and sound, we will close the door and live in peace, if you don't worry about the second sister-in-law, why don't you bring the second sister-in-law and the children to our house."

  Don't say it, Chen Ningya was really moved, just thinking of this cold winter and twelfth lunar month, she finally shook her head, "It's better not to toss with their mother and daughter, I'll let Madam Ding watch over them."

   On a good New Year's Eve, people were panicked because of the death of the fifth prince, and many people were silent, carefully watching the movements of the palace.

   Inside Fengxian Hall.

   Dressed in fancy clothes, the noble concubine sat on the high platform and did not move. Half of her delicate and beautiful face was hidden in the shadows, and her emotions could not be seen.

  The **** and the maid who knelt down on the high platform, and the wives and concubines of the fifth prince who were crying.

   "Mother concubine, you must find the murderer to avenge the fifth prince!" The fifth prince concubine Yin clenched her teeth and begged angrily.

   "Bang bang bang" three times, the heavy kowtow sound is very clear in the silent hall, even the palace guards outside the hall can hear it clearly.

   The two side concubines also kowtowed and begged, but compared to the sincerity of Yin Shi, the two seemed to be mostly acting.

Concubine Ling couldn't see this, she turned her head stiffly, her face in the shadows was completely exposed in front of everyone, her voice was hoarse like a ghost, "The murderer. Who is the murderer, tell me who is the murderer! My son is dead! He died! How could he die! How could he die! Why did he die! You said, you said, you said! Ah."

  's sudden madness made the imperial concubine startled everyone, and even the palace servants who served her changed their faces, each with a pale face, wanting to persuade but not daring to persuade.

   Ye Ma was pushed to the ground because she was very close to the imperial concubine Ling. She was moaning in pain. She was afraid that the imperial concubine would be too stimulated and would get angry and hurt others, so she hurriedly advised Yin Shi and others to leave.

  The three Yin clan were also afraid of being hurt by the imperial concubine Ling, so they didn't care about the grief, and withdrew out of fear.

As soon as the    people left, Ye Ma asked all the palace staff in the palace to retreat, struggled to get up from the ground, clenched his teeth and stepped forward, slapped Ling Guifei's face, and scolded in a low voice: "The maiden should wake up!"

Ling Guifei was almost stunned by the beating, she came back to her senses and grabbed Ye Mama by the shoulders, burning with anger, "You dare to beat me? I'm a maid! Believe it or not, I will kill you now? Don't think you have served me before. My mother is superior to others, slaves are always slaves, and lowly is always lowly!"

Ye Momo lowered her eyes and knelt down softly, "Niangniang, slaves know that their status is lowly, it's a slave to be damned, I don't care if I want to punish slaves, but now is not the time, the most urgent thing, you should calm down and think about it. How to go next, and expressing resentment is just to pass the time, madam, don't wait for me!"

   The third prince has been changed to the seventh prince
