The daily life of the prime minister of the Qing Dynasty, thick black

Chapter 147 Framed
Gu Huaishu really didn't expect that even Kangxi would be attracted to this incident, is it such a coincidence?
When the palace maid went to Concubine Yi, Concubine Yi went outside to look for Kangxi, but the news was brought to Kangxi...

Regarding this matter, no matter how you look at her, Gu Huaixiu looks like a passerby who was implicated innocently, but she is afraid that people will suspect Zhang Tingyu and think that he is also forming a party with someone for personal gain. , How to pinch the rest of the people has nothing to do with her.

When Kangxi came in, his face was so heavy that water could be wrung out.

As soon as he entered, everyone in the room fell down in surprise and shouted hello.

Gu Huaixiu was standing in the middle just now, she lowered her head, and saw the ordinary soap boots that the emperor put on when he went out to wear clothes today, came to her, and then the voice was in her head?ring up.

Kangxi's voice was already old: "Look at the chaos in this room? Get up."

As he spoke, he was already sitting in the top seat.

Concubine Yi also followed in, and Kangxi pointed her to sit on the armchair Lin Jiashi was sitting on just now.

Lin Jiashi and the prince's concubine could only stand on the right side. At this moment the prince also came up, stood in the hall, and looked at Lin Jiashi questioningly. Lin Jiashi didn't dare to explain, but just looked Gu Huaishu, who stood still in the middle, took a look.

Yinfeng also glanced at it, and his face suddenly became ugly.

He still doesn't know what the situation is, how come the palace man beside him died?
What else did these two palace people do, the crown prince himself doesn't remember...

This matter involved Zhang Tingyu, so Zhang Tingyu stood and waited outside the yard, but did not go in.

Zhou Daoxin also accompanied him, and whispered to him: "Your wife is really a ruthless person."

Zhang Tingyu frowned at him, but gritted his teeth and said, "Shut your mouth."

This expression is really scary.

Zhou Daoxin sighed secretly, it was just a joke, as for?Everyone knows that this matter has nothing to do with Mrs. Zhang Er.

It's just that things are more difficult.

Gu Huaishu was also thinking about it.

She already knew the general direction of the matter, but she still felt terrified.

After all, in this palace, Lin Jiashi's brain is not enough, and Gu Huaishu also feels that he is not smart enough.But such a method is really hard to guard against, people can think of this series of tortuous methods to pick themselves out in order to get a perfect effect.

Such scheming and methods...

Gu Huaishu glanced at Concubine Yi calmly, but saw that Concubine Yi was already serving tea with a smile, and even commented: "Good tea."

Kangxi didn't notice this sentence, he had already understood the general course of the incident on the way here, and now something happened to the palace servants next to the prince, how would he know that one day it wasn't by his side or by himself?

You can't allow others to snore beside your bed, so how can you allow such danger to appear by your side?

Kangxi was furious, but being an emperor for more than 40 years made him calm in the face of such things.

"What did the imperial doctor say about those two maids?"

There was only Lin Jiashi who was in charge here, but now she came out tremblingly and said: "The emperor, the imperial doctor said that the two court ladies died of poisoning, and they died suddenly after delivering the almond cake. I wait for suspicion, It was Mrs. Zhang who did it..."

Mrs. Zhang Er?

Isn't it just Gu Huaixiu?

When Kangxi saw Gu Huaishu, he felt that something was wrong.What does this matter have to do with Gu Huaishu?
"Second Madam Zhang, do you have anything to say?"

This is a chance for Gu Huaxiu to confess.

Gu Huaishu stepped forward, knelt down respectfully, and said, "My wife is innocent. The concubine Yi concubine has testified about this matter. Earlier, Fang Fujin and others said that the lotus paste cake given by my wife poisoned the two maids. But at that time, the minister's wife was just out of good intentions, because the almond cake they brought accidentally fell on the ground, and the minister's wife felt guilty and thought that they had run errands on purpose, and wanted to give them both the lotus paste cake that the cook had just made Eat it. Unexpectedly, these two people would refuse to eat it as if they were afraid that the minister's wife would harm them."

Concubine Yi didn't pause for a moment when she lifted the lid of the teacup with her fingers, she waited until she finished drinking the good tea, and said: "Return to the emperor, the concubine can indeed testify to this matter. At that time, the concubine was passing by while admiring the flowers , I just saw two court ladies holding a plate of almond cakes in front of them, saying that they are for Mrs. Zhang's young master."

When he said this, the prince suddenly looked back at Lin Jiashi, and Lin Jiashi trembled.

But at this time, no one dared to speak, they just listened to Concubine Yi continue talking.

"You know, the concubine is greedy in the palace. You only gave the almond cakes that the people below gave to the crown prince. The concubine has heard of the name of Fucuilou's almond cakes for a long time, so she has no chance to taste... from Fujin The almond cake is for the young master, if you want to come here, you can ask for a piece or two to taste it, after all, as long as Second Madam Zhang doesn't say anything, how can the two palace people dare to say anything to me?"

Concubine Yi has a beautiful appearance, and said this coquettishly, although she is old, she has a certain charm.

The emperor liked her like this, and he smiled slightly when he heard this sentence.

But Concubine Yi suddenly scolded again: "Unexpectedly, those two court ladies are ignorant of current affairs, and they valued the errand of Fang Fujin more than anything else, and said that they would give the almond cake to the young master. Maybe they saw each other Seeing that I can eat it, I was afraid that if I ate it, I would protect the almond cake so tightly that it would be knocked over. It was Mrs. Zhang who was kind, because she was afraid that they would not be able to do the job, so the cook happened to make a plate The lotus seed paste cake was served, and he said that it would be done if he wanted it, and no one knew about the pastry, let them eat a piece of lotus seed paste cake to shock them."

Lin Jiashi suddenly became nervous, waiting for Concubine Yi to say the next thing.

Gu Huaixiu is also not sure whether his previous speculation is correct. Concubine Yi said before that Mrs. Zhang still owes her a favor. If Concubine Yi turns her face and refuses to recognize her at this time, Gu Huaixiu will only have a dead end. There is no burial place left.

After all, the lotus paste cake is still at Concubine Yi's place.

If Concubine Yi said that the two palace servants ate it, then Concubine Yi was going to cheat Gu Huaishu, if that was the case, there must be something wrong with the plate of lotus paste cake.

Gu Huaishu slightly closed his eyes.

Now everyone inside and outside the house is sweating, only Concubine Yi seemed to be ignorant of all this, she still smiled and said: "The two palace servants dare not eat, Mrs. Zhang Er invited them to eat twice, but they didn't dare .In the end, it was cheaper for the concubine. The concubine took a bite of the lotus paste cake and thought she liked it. She already asked Mrs. Zhang and took it back to her room..."

Kangxi understood, and his face was a little stunned: "It's no wonder that when I came back today, you talked about lotus paste cake like Xianbao, and made a lot of trouble. It was made by her cook."

No wonder.

Kangxi knows Shi Fang's craftsmanship better than anyone else.

But now the focus is not on Shi Fang, but on the two palace servants who were poisoned for no reason.

As soon as Concubine Yi finished speaking, Lin Jiashi was already on the verge of collapse. She never expected Concubine Yi to speak for Gu Huaishu!
"No, Madam Yifei's words are wrong!"

When Lin Jiashi suddenly said such a sentence, Concubine Yi's face turned cold instantly.

What is she?But it was the prince's concubine who climbed up, the daughter of a sixth-rank feather leader, her mother's family was humble, and she dared to challenge her? !
Who is Yifei?The favorite concubine from the Guo Luoluo family has always had a different arrogance from Pan others.

She immediately sneered: "What does Ce Fujin mean? Based on what you mean, could it be that Ben Gong lied?!"

Yinfeng scolded the idiot in his heart!

Lin Jiashi is usually very smart, why did she suddenly lose her sense of proportion at this time?
The prince hurriedly stepped forward to make amends, and said: "Empress Yifei, it's just that Fujin is not sensible, there is a conflict between testimony and testimony."

Indeed, Concubine Yi said that the two palace servants did not eat the lotus paste cake, but according to Lin Jiashi, both palace servants said they did.

Then, between these two people, one of them must have lied, or...

The two palace men lied.

Thus, the role of Gu Huaishu appeared.

Throw me a papaya, and give me Qiongyao; an eye for an eye, an eye for an eye.

Gu Huaishu gave Kangxi a head-button calmly and calmly: "Long live, my wife has been wronged for no reason today. Before I asked Concubine Yi to testify for my wife, I was asked by Fujin whether there were any witnesses, but I didn't tell Fujin directly." When asking the courtier's wife, are there any witnesses to prove that what she said is true?"

Under his heart, Gu Huaishu already secretly laughed.

It is impossible for Lin Jiashi to have witnesses.

She has been wronged by Gu Yaofang for several years, so she knows what kind of virtue Gu Yaofang is.

Even Qingxi, her confidant back then, might not know everything about her, let alone someone raised after entering the palace?

Originally, the two palace servants were weird, one was told that the pastry was poisonous, the other knew it was not poisonous, if Lin Jiashi had good intentions, it would be impossible to arrange it like this.Prepare with both hands, who will become the insider when it is poisonous?It's a crime, if there is no poison or before there is no time to poison, both of them will be fine.

Murdering the son of the emperor's close minister is ridiculous, but it must be a serious crime.

Lin Jiashi didn't dare to take risks, even her confidant Bixiu knew about it, but after all, Bixiu was Lin Jiashi's confidant, most of what she said was ordered by Lin Jiashi, how could she believe it?

Lin Jiashi also thought of what Gu Huaixiu thought of, this is everything she questioned Gu Huaixiu before, and now it all comes back to her!
Her face was pale, and she didn't dare to look up at the prince's face.

This matter was ruined by myself.

Who killed those two maids?

Is it Gu Huaishu?

Then Gu Huaishu and Concubine Yi joined forces to plot against the two insignificant maids, just to get revenge on her?
Seeing that Lin Jiashi had nothing to say, the whole room was also quiet.

Kangxi said: "It seems that there is no evidence for Ci Fujin here."

This Lin Jia family, Kangxi remembered, gave birth to the crown prince's third son, Hong Jin, which is considered meritorious, but today they handled things so hastily.

"I believe Concubine Yi can't be lying. Besides, if the two of them really ate the lotus paste cake, how can Concubine Yi be fine after eating it? Concubine Yi just said that she would take me to eat it together. Don't say it's by the prince's side." After the palace maid went there, she poisoned the lotus paste cake alone, and coaxed the two palace ladies to eat it. How long would it take to make a plate of lotus paste cake? Who would have expected that someone would send almond cakes at that time? Someone, go and fetch the lotus paste cake and ask the imperial physician to test it for poison."

The Imperial Physician is the apprentice of Sun Yuanshi, named Zhao Yuntian.

Gu Huaixiu knew that the white-bearded imperial physician would call her sister-in-law Sun Lianqiao her junior sister.

Last time, she said something to Sun Lianqiao, and wrote a "four" in her hand, and later Sun Lianqiao said that she had done what she said.Thinking about it, the envoy Sun Yuan has already taken refuge with the fourth elder brother, so this matter...

The subordinates brought the lotus paste cake, and asked Zhao Yuntian to inspect it, confirming that it was not poisonous, and even wiped the plate containing the pastry vigorously with a silk cloth, but there was no trace of poison, so it was reported to Kangxi, "Lotus paste cake It's non-toxic, and neither are the dishes."

In this way, Lin Jiashi's previous suspicion of Gu Huaishu was completely untenable.

Gu Huaishu is completely innocent.

At least, from the current time period it seems.

Gu Huaishu was afraid that others would mention the period after the two maids came to his place, but before Concubine Yi came.She just wanted to expose it as soon as possible, the longer the matter was delayed, the more unfavorable it would be.

Thinking of Yi Fei's words before she left, Gu Huaishu knew that he would be thrown into the muddy water.

The disaster that will come from the sky cannot be avoided.

"Actually... it's not that there is another possibility..."

Gu Huaixiu opened his mouth tentatively, and seeing that everyone's eyes were on her, Kangxi also had an expression of waiting for her to continue, so she said: "My wife's lotus paste cake is non-toxic, but it is not poisonous. I wonder if there is something wrong with the almond cake?"

"How do you say that?"

Concubine Yi frowned, very cooperative with Gu Huaishu.

Lin Jiashi immediately said: "How can there be a problem with the almond cake? It is the only one that the emperor gave to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Yinfeng was also taken aback, the whole room was so quiet that the sound of a needle point hitting the ground could be heard.

Kangxi already had a cold look in his eyes: "Zhang Gu, you know what you are talking about!"

Gu Huaishu was already kneeling and never got up. At this moment, he just leaned over and said, "My wife is just talking about a possibility. Whether it is true or not depends on the emperor's decision. The lotus seed paste cake is non-toxic, and the ladies of the palace can only talk about it when they come to my wife." Nothing went wrong after here, so if they ate almond cakes on the way here and killed themselves..."

"Snapped!"

The teacup in Yifei's hand suddenly fell to the ground and broke into pieces!

She covered her lips in astonishment: "How is this possible? I almost ate a piece of almond cake before... If it is poisonous, if it is poisonous..."

If it was poisonous, Concubine Yi would die right now, but Concubine Yi didn't eat it.

At that time, Gu Huaishu thought that Concubine Yi was going to eat it, but her next move was to throw away the almond cake and slap the maid directly!

When Gu Huaishu thought about the scene at that time, he felt the cold coming from under his feet and spreading all over his body.

But she wasn't afraid, at least she couldn't show any timidity now.

She knew that Zhang Tingyu was outside, and she was fearless.

"Empress Yifei, do you remember when you reached out to get that plate of almond cakes, how many were there?"

This question is quite critical, and Gu Huaishu asked it very well, because now the plate of almond cakes has fallen to the ground, smashed to pieces, and only the residue remains in place.

Kangxi looked at Concubine Yi, but he knew how serious the problem Gu Huaishu raised was.

Because this almond cake was given to the prince by Kangxi!
There is a problem with the almond cake, who wants to kill Zhang Tingyu's son?Impossible, what enmity does Lin Jiashi have with a child?Then, someone is going to kill the prince!

Even Concubine Yi almost ate the pastries, her face turned pale with fright now, who is playing such insidious tricks behind her...

Yeah……

Kangxi squeezed the armrest tightly, and only said to Concubine Yi: "Concubine Yi, think about it carefully, how much money do you have?"

Yifei raised her fingers and rubbed her forehead, then nodded her fingers gently, "There are two on the upper floor, six on the lower floor, a total of eight yuan."

After finishing speaking, Concubine Yi had a terrified expression.

Everyone in the room was shocked from the bottom of their hearts.

Lin Jiashi exclaimed in shock: "The dish that my concubine gave away must be ten yuan!"

Generally put pastries, one piece on the top layer, three pieces on the middle layer, and six pieces on the bottom, which is just right, no more, no less, ten yuan!
Now Concubine Yi only saw eight pieces of cakes, so where did the middle two pieces go?
When they left Lin Jiashi's place, they were all ten yuan, but this time there were only eight yuan, and there were only these two palace servants along the way, and it happened that they lost two yuan...

In other words, Mrs. Zhang Er's guess was right!

Kangxi said in a deep voice, "Second Madam Zhang, where is that plate of almond cake now?"

"Reporting to Lord Long Live, that plate of almond cake fell under the bluestone slab of the steps before, and it has been cleaned by someone, but there should be debris left in the crevices of the stone."

When Gu Huaishu said this, San Dezi immediately sent someone to Gu Huaishu's yard to sweep the debris back.

The prince tensed his body, his face was livid, poisonous?poisonous?
He couldn't help but look at Kangxi, and buried his face again.

This matter is really confusing...

The crown prince feels that the emperor is distrusting him more and more recently. This box of almond cakes was given to him by the emperor alone. There is no one in the palace, let alone the thirteenth brother. I don't have any brothers, I am the only one who has...

In the middle, what tricks are hidden?

Since the death of Suo'etu, the prince didn't trust Kangxi anymore. He walked on the single-plank bridge tremblingly, fearing that one day before he could sit on the dragon chair, he would be pushed down from the throne by his emperor Ama, and his body would be crushed to pieces!
This time, is it Kangxi, or his other brothers?

As for Kangxi, he didn't think of going to the prince's side yet, he just felt that someone was going to harm the prince.

When the thing was taken back, Zhao Yuntian asked Zhao Yuntian to inspect it again. Zhao Yuntian was horrified when he saw it and heard it. He stood outside the courtyard gate and knelt on the ground: "This thing is poisonous!"

Yinfeng immediately yelled: "Huang Ama, someone wants to poison my minister!"

"Snapped!"

Kangxi raised his hand and threw a cup of tea on the ground, and everyone knelt down on the ground!
"Brother Thirteen, as well as the maids and eunuchs and officials in the palace, let me investigate! Let me inspect all the almond cakes presented by the prefect of Yangzhou! Whoever has handled the almond cakes awarded by the crown prince will all Check it out for me!"

Be sure to see who has such courage, reverse!

Gu Huaishu buried his head deeply, and did not look at Concubine Yi.

She just kowtowed and said: "My wife has been away for a long time, and the child must be worried in the house. If there is nothing to do with my wife, my wife, please leave and stay with the dog..."

"……Go ahead."

Kangxi felt sorry for her and waved her away.

Besides, the matter here □ involves royal secrets, and now the princes below are fighting fiercely for power, and this time I am accompanied by Shisan and the prince... Who escaped to kill the prince...

Kangxi didn't dare to think about the result, when he went out in Weifu today, Yinxiang said he had a headache...

Gu Huaixiu's side has already retreated, she is extremely calm, and her steps are not chaotic.

Standing outside were Zhang Tingyu, Zhou Daoxin, and Zhao Yuntian on the side. Zhao Yuntian stood a little in front, and Zhang Tingyu and the others were foreign ministers, all behind.

That Zhao Yuntian was already old, and he was still kneeling on the ground. Gu Huaishu lowered his eyes, only to see that the official hat was about to crooked in fright.

She slowly passed by Zhao Yuntian, Zhao Yuntian's body froze for a moment, as if he heard something terrible.

Seeing her coming out, Zhang Tingyu quickly went up to drag her: "Is there something wrong?"

He lowered his voice and asked.

Gu Huaishu glanced at Zhou Daoxin who was at the side, but shook his head, and said in a low voice, "Don't stay in the right and wrong place for a long time."

Zhang Tingyu and Gu Huaishu went back, but Zhou Daoxin had his own place, so the three left separately.

At this time, Gu Huaixiu felt that she was about to fall down. After kneeling in the room for a while, her knee hurt badly.

There is a little light in the palace every other place, Gu Huaishu thinks of Yi Fei's hint to himself——

"When I came over to admire the flowers, I only saw the second half. I don't know what you did in the first half. Who knows when people got tricked?"

The only way to get Gu Huaixiu out is hidden in this sentence.

As long as Gu Huaishu finds ways to say that the two maids happened before, that is to say, the almond cake she ate was poisoned to death, then she will be safe, and Concubine Yi's goal will be achieved.

She is Brother Jiu's mother...

This time, the most important thing is the thirteenth elder brother among the two elder brothers.

It's just that even if the thirteenth elder brother is not harmed, it can still create a rift between the prince and Kangxi.Who told Kangxi to kill Suo'etu, the prince's biggest backer, and who made this plate of almond cakes be given to the prince by the emperor alone?
Four or two moves a thousand catties.

This trick will work no matter what, unless Yifei is exposed.

I'm afraid that Concubine Yi has good eyes and ears, and she knew that Lin Jiashi was trying to intimidate her on the way, so she came up with an impromptu trick.

It's a pity that she should never have met Gu Huaishu.

How dare Gu Huaixiu let Brother Thirteen fold here?However, she was not sure whether the thirteenth elder brother was innocent or not. It was just that she thought about the fourth master behind the thirteenth master, so she finally did so.

Yifei's calculation is very subtle, but it's a pity that she miscalculated Gu Huaishu.

She took care of her sleeves, and she was someone who had half a foot on the threshold of the "Four Lords Party".

Zhang Tingyu supported her, but she looked back at the courtyard behind the corridor, Zhao Yuntian had already entered.

The expressions on the faces of the royal people amidst the lights are blurred.
