God-given peasant wife's good fortune

Chapter 700 Ouyang Wanruo Poisoned
[-]

Su Kebin was in the main hall of the inner courtyard, saw Lin Zhaohong greeted with a smile, and then realized that Lin Zhaohong's expression was wrong, the smile on his face faded, and asked: "Master Lin, why are you here at this time?"

"Something happened in the palace." Lin Zhaohong said solemnly.

Su Kebin's heart sank: "Is it related to Fang'er?"

He doesn't care if there is an accident in the palace, he only cares about whether his sister and brother-in-law are okay?
It's just that this matter is obviously either related to his sister or his brother-in-law, otherwise Young Master Lin would not have come to talk to him about it.

"You can say that." Lin Zhaohong frowned.

"What's going on?" Su Kebin asked eagerly.

"Princess Chang'an was poisoned after tasting the preserved fruit that was tributed from the Duwa Kingdom. The identity of her sister-in-law as the princess of the Duwa Kingdom was also revealed. The Queen Mother was furious and wanted to punish her. up."

Su Kebin's face changed suddenly: "What does the Queen Mother mean? She thinks Fang Er poisoned Princess Chang'an?"

"That's right." Princess Chang'an is the Empress Dowager's Nilin. The Empress Dowager knew that the Emperor would intercede for her senior brother, so even the Emperor refused to meet her. This matter is a bit troublesome.

Su Kebin was in a state of confusion, and after walking back and forth in the hall for a few times, he asked, "Did the poison in the preserved fruit be brought in from the Duwa Kingdom, or was someone deliberately framing Fang'er?"

"Any food that is tribute from other countries will be strictly inspected before it is sent to the palace. The poison can only be released after it is sent to the palace. The worst thing now is that a court lady who handled the preserved fruit came forward to testify against my sister-in-law, saying that the poison in the preserved fruit It was my sister-in-law who let her down."

Speaking of this, Lin Zhaohong was annoyed that the maid committed suicide by taking poison after testifying, otherwise he would not be afraid that the maid would not tell the truth with his method.

"Then how is the princess?" Su Kebin was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, his mind was spinning rapidly, but he couldn't think of a way to save his sister.

"The imperial doctor said that the princess's poisoning was very strange. The fetus in the belly might be affected. He suggested that the labor be induced, which might save the princess' life, but the princess disagreed."

Su Kebin originally hoped that the poison on the princess would not be deep, but after hearing Lin Zhaohong's words, his heart sank to the bottom.

"Young Master Lin, is there really no other way to save Fang'er?" Su Kebin looked at Lin Zhaohong with eyes full of pain, hoping that he could give him some hope.

Others are soft-spoken and can't speak at all in the court. He can only pin his hopes on Lin Zhaohong.

"Brother Su, don't worry, as long as the emperor can trust sister-in-law, sister-in-law's life will not be in danger." Lin Zhaohong now only asks Ouyang Wanruo to wake up earlier.

The imperial doctor said that as long as Ouyang Wanruo and Xiang Chenxiang agreed to expel the fetus, Ouyang Wanruo's life would be saved. On the contrary, if Ouyang Wanruo's life would be in danger, both the Queen Mother and Xiang Chenxiang advocated inducing labor. Death is pressing, and finally passed out hysterically.

The Empress Dowager knew her daughter's temperament well, and after Ouyang Wanruo fainted, she didn't dare to order the imperial doctor to induce labor, but Ouyang Wanruo didn't know when she would wake up?
"Young Master Lin, we can't wait like this!" Su Kebin stood up suddenly and said, "I'm going to the Grand Tutor's Mansion to see Mrs. Zhuang."

Mrs. Zhuang was close to Fang'er, and the Queen Mother also had some respect for Grand Tutor Zhuang, hoping that Grand Tutor could help to say a few words.

"Brother Su, don't be too busy." Lin Zhaohong said: "As soon as the incident happened, Taifu Zhuang met the Queen Mother, and was sent to the Palace of Compassion by the Queen Mother with a few words."

"Brother Su, I tell you this because I hope you can keep uncle and auntie safe, and help watch Ze'er. My people are already investigating. As long as we can find the real murderer, my sister-in-law will be fine." Lin Zhaohong road.

"Young Master Lin, I'm here with Ze'er, hurry up and find a way to save Fang'er." Su Kebin urged.

Lin Zhaohong didn't say much, turned around and left the Su's house.

At the same time, Su Kefang was imprisoned by the empress dowager's mother in the Buddhist hall of the Palace of Compassion. This small Buddhist hall is not a Buddhist hall for the empress dowager to chant Buddhist scriptures, but a place specially used by the empress dowager to punish the palace people.

There is no charcoal basin in this small Buddhist hall, and there is no earth dragon. As soon as Su Kefang entered the Buddhist hall, he felt a piercing chill. It was like a secret room where he couldn't see his fingers.

Xiang Zirun, who was in the emperor's study, was secretly relieved when he heard that the queen mother did not execute his daughter-in-law, but locked her in a small closed Buddhist hall.

Ouyang Rui glanced at him, and a trace of suspicion flashed in his eyes: "Do you know that this small Buddhist hall of the Queen Mother is more unbearable than a prison? Don't say I didn't remind you, in this weather, your delicate wife can I’m afraid it’s very difficult to stay in it for a night.”

Such a incident happened on New Year's Eve, and now his imperial sister's life or death is uncertain, and Ouyang Rui is also in a bad mood, so he very much hopes to see the expressionless expression on Xiang Zirun's face.

Xiang Zirun raised his eyes and glanced at him: "How did the emperor see that my wife is weak?"

Ouyang Rui couldn't help but choke when he thought of the woman who had eaten the heart of a bear and the guts of a leopard.

That's right, if the Su family's woman can be called weak, there might not be a strong woman in this world.

Not seeing Xiang Zirun's face change, Ouyang Rui was very upset: "You really don't worry about your wife starving and freezing, or do you wish your wife..."

Thinking about it with my knees, I knew that Ouyang Rui's next words would not be good. Xiang Zirun raised his brows and eyes imperceptibly, and interrupted him very politely: "I don't have the blessing of the emperor. I can't do it like hugging left and right." I just know that my daughter-in-law must think that starving and freezing would be better than being tortured, so I don't worry about it."

Xiang Zirun is the only person in this world who dares to interrupt Ouyang Rui's words. Ouyang Rui was not angry, but asked curiously, "How do you say that?"

Xiang Zirun raised his eyelids and said seriously: "Punishment may leave scars. For women, even if it takes their lives, they don't want scars on their bodies. I believe the emperor has a deeper understanding of this."

Hearing this, Ouyang Rui stared, speechless, because those concubines in his harem were indeed like this.

"Your wife was shut down in a small Buddhist hall by the queen mother, but you are so calm, it really makes people doubt your so-called affection for your wife." Ouyang Rui was in a bad mood, and felt that Xiang Zirun's cold face was an eyesore.

"The emperor has the time to care about the affairs between the courtiers and their husbands, why not think of a way to save people?

Ouyang Rui leaned back, calmly said: "That's your wife, why did I help you save someone?"

Xiang Zirun twitched the corner of his lower lip: "My daughter-in-law suffered such injustice in the palace, as the king of a country, is it not my responsibility to clear up my daughter-in-law's grievances?"

Xiang Zirun's voice paused, and before Ouyang Rui's attack, he reminded lightly: "Besides, if my wife stays in the small Buddhist hall for a long time, the emperor's small treasury will lose a lot of money, right?"
