Hou Men Splendid

Chapter 159

This is the case with some people, even if they did something wrong at the beginning and it was revealed in the end, they still won’t realize that what they did was wrong, because in essence, they don’t think it’s wrong.

This is the case with Shao Ziming.

He is very loose by nature and doesn't want to be restrained. He brought back a woman he liked from Yanzhou City as a concubine. rule.

Master Shao San asked him to send him away. A few days later, Shao Ziming sent him away and sent him out of Luodu City. The Shao family said that there was no such person, and everything was just a rumor. Long-term imagination cannot prove that it is the same person. .

That day, Shao Ziming came to see Shao Ziyu, and got very drunk.

He didn't blame anyone, not Miss Lan who said she knew Aunt Ruan when she saw Aunt Ruan, and he didn't blame those who spread the rumors, he just blamed the rules.

When Lin Qingran came over to have a look, Shao Ziming was talking about the rules of these aristocratic families, vaguely, and then talked about some laws, he was always drunk.

Lin Qingran glanced at Shao Ziyu and frowned slightly. She didn't dislike Shao Ziming, but felt that he was loose and free and easy, but it also changed from time to time.

He is loose, so he doesn't care about his official position, he is free and easy, and can ignore these constraints and bring Aunt Ruan back, but he finally succumbed to the pressure of his third uncle and aunt and sent Aunt Ruan away again.

If today he took Aunt Ruan away directly because he wanted to insist on refuting these rules in his heart, even if the official didn't want it, Lin Qingran would still feel that he had really achieved what he showed in some aspects, but he No.

Because he should know better than anyone else what it means to go out of the house, and he doesn't have enough money to support his wanton and free and easy temperament.

Therefore, most of the time, people will naturally choose the side that is beneficial to them, and some choices will not put themselves in a desperate situation.

Lin Qingran told Shao Ziyu to pay attention to some fourth brothers, and just about to turn around and leave, Shao Ziming, who was lying there holding a wine glass, stopped her, "Sister and sister, did you guess the identity of Aunt Ruan back then?"

Such a sentence came out suddenly, Lin Qingran stood there without moving, Shao Ziming raised his head and looked at her fixedly.

"Fourth brother, what if you guessed it, so what if you didn't guess it." It has nothing to do with her, even if Shao Ziming found a concubine for a firework girl, it has nothing to do with her.

Shao Ziming smiled and shook his head, turned around and patted Shao Ziyu on the shoulder, "Xiao Wu is the luckiest one among us." Then he was about to stand up unsteadily, Shao Ziyu helped him, and Shao Ziming stretched out his hand to hold him aside leaning against the handrail, looking at the yard, muttering something they couldn't hear clearly.

Shao Ziming's state did not last for a few days. After half a month, there was an errand that required an outsider. Shao Ziming took the initiative to ask Ying. Master Shao San also thought it was good to go out, and he could dilute the matter here, so Shao Ziming took Yu's I went abroad with my two children.

When I came to say goodbye to Shao Ziyu, Shao Ziming's overall condition seemed to be better than before, as if that incident had no impact on him at 01:30, but it was because of the external appointment that made him feel better , hard to see through.

And it took another three years for him to go
Three years passed quickly, and with a flick of a finger, Shao Ziyu received a letter from Shao Ziming, saying that he would stay for another three years and was unwilling to return to Luodu City.

To Shao Ziming, Luodu City is like a city surrounded by walls. The Shao family is a prison. Shao Ziming feels comfortable staying outside. The third house and the eldest son don’t need to worry about him. This time when he writes back, the main reason is In order to tell Shao Ziyu and the others, Sister Lan, who went with a foreign job, is engaged, and the wedding will be in October of the second half of the year.

Lin Qingran also received a letter from her fourth sister-in-law, Yu, who wrote in more detail. Sister Lan's marriage was decided relatively late, and she was talking about people in Luodu City. Come back home.

Siqin came in from outside, saw Shao Ziyu and said, "My lord, Guanyan is waiting for you in the outer courtyard. He said that there is an urgent matter at the Ministry of Punishment."

It was already evening at this time, Shao Ziyu rushed to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and the people in the Ministry of Criminal Justice were still waiting for someone from the palace, saying that he wanted Shao Ziyu to enter the palace to assist in the investigation of the case, he always had to know what to investigate first, the person who came was the father-in-law next to the Queen , the father-in-law said to Shao Ziyu in a low voice, "Master Shao, don't ask, you will know when you go."

After entering the palace, it was already dark, Shao Ziyu came to Shouhe Palace, the palace servants took him in, but the empress was not seen in the outer room, the door of the inner room was open, two maids were guarding there, one of them went in to report, After a while, the queen's weak voice came from the room, "Master Shao, I have something to ask you to investigate."

The faint smell of medicine in the room and the empress' unconcealed voice all made Shao Ziyu suspicious. The empress is not pregnant for three months, logically speaking, her spirit is not like this.

"Empress, please tell me, I will do my best." Shao Ziyu knelt at the door and said to the screen that blocked it.

"I want you to investigate for me, who is trying to harm me." The queen's voice was faint, and the palace nurse in the room brought out a plate with several bowls inside, "the The things were found by Ben Gong, and Nanny He will tell you if there is anything, I am tired."

The nanny with the tray invited Shao Ziyu to the next door, put down the things, and Nanny He took out a few letters before she said to Shao Ziyu, "The empress has been poisoned several times, and the dragon species in her belly is almost unsafe. I hope Lord Shao will do his best to investigate this matter."

"Nurse He, this palace is not very convenient." As an official, how could he frequently enter and leave the harem.

"Don't worry, Mr. Shao. We have a special court lady who will cooperate with Mr. Shao. How to investigate is entirely up to Mr. Shao." Mammy He reminded again, "Outsiders don't know about the empress's frailty. Please ask Mr. Shao to investigate." Confidential."

This is going to be done without telling the emperor, and Shao Ziyu finds it even more difficult. Here, Mother He has already packed all these things, and sent a maid to send Shao Ziyu away. When he arrived at the gate of the palace, Ah Jiu was guarding there. The package of evidence that looked like a congratulatory gift, he said half aloud, "Go back to the Ministry of Punishment."

Two years ago in the spring, the emperor had a draft and got married. There were many concubines who entered the palace for the first time. The candidates for the empress were selected from the families that the former emperor had set. consider.

It was only at the beginning of this year that the good news came out that the queen was not the first to conceive. Last year, two concubines were pregnant. At the end of the year, they successfully got a princess, and another one had a miscarriage after a few months of pregnancy.

Now that someone is trying to kill the queen, and the queen ordered him to investigate secretly, Shao Ziyu only felt that it was very difficult.

What the queen had in her hands was undrinked medicine, a sachet and some medicinal materials, and a few letters. Shao Ziyu asked Ah Jiu to take the medicine and sachet to the doctor to see what was in it. If you have any news, don’t send it to the Ministry of Criminal Justice. It was very late when I went to Shao's mansion and returned to Shao's house with those letters.

Lin Qingran waited for him to come back to eat together, the food was hot once, sat down and saw his frowning deeply, served him soup, "what's the matter."

"You have time to go to the palace tomorrow. It's best to visit the empress and find out if there is something wrong with the empress." Shao Ziyu always felt that the empress's pregnancy might be as simple as that, or that it was almost impossible. Still out of warranty.

Shao Ziyu said briefly, and Lin Qingran nodded, "I will go to the palace early tomorrow morning to see the empress dowager, but can I hide this matter from the emperor?"

"I can't hide it but I can't hide it. In the end, I will report to the emperor." He is a courtier of the emperor, how could he hide it from the emperor for the sake of the queen? The Ministry of punishment can't interfere in everything, especially the inner palace.

"This harem has only been around for a few years, so why does it feel quite chaotic." The queen is pregnant with a child, and it's not safe now. In a few years, the harem still doesn't know how chaotic it is.

"The emperor is young, and those concubines are also young, but the people behind them are not young." To put it bluntly, the queen has only been sitting for two years, and it is not impossible to sit well. of.

"Father is preparing to resign from office. I think it's better to submit it as soon as possible." Three years have passed, and the most obvious thing the emperor is doing now is to accept power.
The next day, Lin Qingran entered the palace once on the pretext of watching the imperial concubine, and brought sister Ning, and chatted with the imperial concubine for a while in the Yihe Palace. Lin Qingran mentioned the queen intentionally or unintentionally. Being in the harem, regardless of things, her pair of discerning eyes see all kinds of things in the palace. When Lin Qingran mentions her, she knows what she is going to say. She beckons the person at the door to guard outside, and sighs. "This palace, it's more stable here, don't go to the queen's place."

"The queen summoned Ziyu into the palace yesterday, and you came here today." Lin Qingran could only laugh, making the imperial concubine know what she wanted to ask.

"Shouhe Palace, don't go if you can. Now these people are all arrogant. This kind of pride will not last long in the palace." People who have been here for decades said these words, and they are naturally convincing. Lin Qingran nodded, "I just heard that the empress is not feeling well, and I don't know what the situation is."

"What the empress asks Ziyu to do, just do it outside the palace. What should be reported to the emperor, here in the palace, they can do whatever they want." The imperial concubine waved her hand, "The empress dowager is hiding. , let's make a fuss and make a lot of noise, just treat it as a show."

The young concubine is beautiful and energetic, and has a lot of ambitions in her heart. There are three thousand concubines, but the emperor only has one.

The imperial concubine sighed, it was all young people's harem, and after a while of chatting, someone hurriedly reported that something happened in the garden, the empress Zhaoyi bumped into the queen, the queen became pregnant and passed out, the situation is not good Very optimistic, the Empress Dowager invited someone to come over and let the imperial concubine go over to have a look.

The noble concubine seemed to have a clear face, she looked at Lin Qingran, "Let's go, follow Ai's family to have a look."
