Years of drama and become a concubine

Chapter 111 surfaced ([-])

Lan'er had long heard the commotion in the inner room, and endured not going in. Suddenly, she heard Ziheng's exclamation, thinking that something had happened to him, she quickly stood up and rushed into the inner room, facing the crowd. Qi Qi looked over, Lan'er was startled, then stammered and asked: "What... what's wrong?"

Ziheng was still excited. Such an important discovery made him feel that he was only one step away from the truth. He turned to Sima Yu and asked, "Your Highness, do you still keep that handkerchief?"

Sima Yu recalled for a moment, went to the front of the bookshelf and turned through drawer after drawer, Ziheng also stepped forward to help find, and finally found this veil in a small sandalwood dowry.Sima Yu looked at it intently and said: "I almost forgot, I didn't expect it to be useful."

Yan Ziheng took the handkerchief and compared the two handkerchiefs together. It was indeed the same white fabric and the same hibiscus flower embroidery thread. The only difference was that the word "square" was embroidered on the lower left corner of one piece, and the other One piece is embroidered with the word "Wen".

"This matter must be related to the Empress." Yan Ziheng said confidently, "It's just that there are still some links missing. Who is the man who set the fire is the first thing to be confirmed."

Sima Yu murmured: "Fang Wen, Fang...Wen, no one I know has this name."

Yan Ziheng also suppressed his smile and thought hard, Lan'er looked at it for a while, but felt that the expressions of this group of people were serious and boring, so she put down the hand that was holding the handkerchief on her face, and took the handkerchief in Ziheng's hand and held it on the Looking closely together, he suddenly raised his head and said, "I do know a character in Fang Wen."

Bian Jiusi raised his eyes, smiled slightly and said, "The people Miss Lan'er knows may not necessarily be related to this matter."

Sima Yu and Yan Ziheng also felt that the people Lan'er knew might not be people who would be involved in power struggles, and they still lowered their hands and did not respond.Lan'er didn't feel like it when she heard the words, she just muttered: "It's a bit of a coincidence, but it has something to do with the empress."

Bian Jiusi said: "Oh? I would like to hear the details."

Lan'er paused and said, "Wei Fang, the son of the steward Wei of Nalan Mansion, is written in Fang Wen."

Hearing this sentence, several people raised their heads and listened attentively.Seeing some eyebrows, Lan'er continued: "It was Wei Fang who died in the capital, and the housekeeper Wei arrested me to marry him in the dark. It is said that the word Fang Wen was taken by the empress's father himself when he saw that Wei Fang was young and smart, because There is a word "Fang" in the single name, which means against the meaning of the text. Therefore, "Wen" was chosen when choosing the word. The intention is to calm down and let him concentrate on writing. Who is the father of the empress? He is now the head of the country, right? , the head of the state personally chose the characters for his son, which is naturally a matter of honor, so he mentions it whenever he meets, and everyone in Bianyuan knows it."

Qing Ge was startled, his face turned pale again and he said: "I remember this matter. Not long after the fire broke out in the East Palace, His Highness Xi Zheng and I passed by Bianyuan. Counting the days of news back and forth, Steward Wei learned that his only son had died and married him. For a ghost marriage, the time is right."

"Wei Fang is the one who set the fire?" Ziheng asked, "Nalan Mansion is famous for its food and drink. Wouldn't it be good to inherit his father's position as a housekeeper? It's okay to concentrate on the imperial examination and enter the official career. Why do you have to?" If you come to the capital to do such a disobedient thing, once exposed, it will be a death penalty!"

Qing Ge pondered for a while, then asked: "Lan'er, what kind of friendship does this Wei Fangwen have with Nalan Rong?"

Lan'er tilted her head and thought for a while, then replied: "I've never heard of this, maybe it's just the master and servant, maybe Nalan Rong ordered Wei Fang to burn the East Palace, and Wei Fang's family is working in Nalan Mansion, so they have to obey orders." That's all?"

"I'm afraid...it's not that simple." Qing Ge was a little tired after sitting for a long time, and leaned back, and Sima Yu quickly took a soft pillow for her to lean on.Qing Ge continued: "The meaning of this handkerchief is very important. If the two are just master and servant, why would a pair of handkerchiefs be shared by each other? And I remember that Wei Fangwen is in his thirties but still hasn't married a wife. I'm afraid it's because he wants to belong... ..."

"You mean... Nalan Rong and Wei Fang may have had a relationship once?" Sima Yu frowned and said the answer that has been lingering in his heart.

"That's right." Qing Ge slightly nodded, "It is precisely because he once swore to each other that he was willing to go through fire and water for her. Nalan Rong's selection as a beautiful girl into the palace must be the family's will, the emperor's order, and cannot be disobeyed. Wei Fang had no choice but to follow him to the capital. Originally, Nalan Rong was soaring in the palace and lived a happy life. However, His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince conspired against him, and His Highness the Crown Prince intervened so that he failed and was demoted. Nalan Rong felt resentful , Wei Fang sees that her heart is hard to appease, and he will definitely be willing to avenge and commit murder for her."

Having said so many words in one breath, Qing Ge couldn't help coughing, Bian Jiusi quickly poured tea from the table to his mouth, and said, "Stop talking, rest well."

Sima Yu took the teacup expressionlessly and said "Thank you" before handing it to Singer Qing, and continued: "It's a good idea to infer from this."

Yan Ziheng also nodded, then shook his head, twisted a pair of sword eyebrows and said: "The tricky thing is that this is indeed the case, but there is no evidence."

"Isn't this handkerchief the evidence?" Lan'er was still furious about the Kunning palace search, and didn't understand why he felt that there was no evidence when the facts were clear.

"This veil is at best an insinuation that the empress has committed infidelity, but it is not evidence of the arson in the East Palace." Sima Yu explained.

"Then only this one piece of evidence is enough for her to bear!" Lan'er stomped her feet, her face hurt again, and she couldn't help "hissing".

"It's not enough." Bian Jiusi supported his forehead, "If you can't control the enemy with one move, it is useless to scare the enemy. This veil can only plant seeds of doubt in the emperor's heart, but it can't really do anything to her. If she later Follow the rules and nothing will happen, which is not what we want."

Sima Yu snorted coldly: "Don't worry about others, you haven't explained your own affairs clearly."

Qing Ge pursed her lips and said, "If Bian Jiusi goes to jail, the Yan family will be involved...you..."

"This king knows." Sima Yu patted her hand to stop her words, then gritted his teeth and said: "You stab this king with a sword, and this king will return your sword. There is no debt between the two, and this king will not be with you." You also don't want to embarrass the Yan family, let alone you and Qing Ge have the grace to save lives."

Bian Jiusi wanted to say more, but Yan Ziheng stepped forward and grabbed her, shaking his head slightly.Bian Jiusi was stunned for a moment, then looked at Qingge again, finally calmly lowered his eyes and saluted respectfully: "Thank you, Your Highness."

Sima Yu eased his expression, and intentionally chatted with him to break the predicament: "According to what Mr. Bian saw, what should this veil do? It can only be dusted again?"

Bian Jiusi flicked his sleeves, straightened up and paced back and forth: "Of course not. It's just that if you want to make a move, you have to take a multi-pronged approach and crucify her to death."

"The unresolved relationship with Wei Fang is one, and instructing him to burn the East Palace is the second..." Yan Ziheng counted with his fingers.

"I have one more thing, which can help." Qing Ge leaned forward, "To allow foreign relatives to monopolize power will harm one side." Lan'er nodded her head when she heard the words, expressing that she couldn't agree more.

Bian Jiusi said: "It can be seen from the list of rewards and punishments of the Holy Majesty in recent years that what he fears the most is the relatives who exercise power. If the Ministry of Punishment can cooperate with the investigation in Bianyuan, it will probably be very rewarding."

"These are the three crimes!" Yan Ziheng's eyes sparkled, "I will join her in one tomorrow!"

"No." Bian Jiusi slowly shook his head, "This matter is not suitable for you to take action. The Yan family must get rid of it, and His Royal Highness must also get rid of it."

Sima Yu's expression froze: "You mean..."

"Enable newcomers. Xinke Jinshi Chen Yanlin is a man of integrity and integrity. You can talk to him about this matter and let him write a book to participate in the performance. This person has just entered the official career and has no factions or party disputes. The emperor will definitely have him. To prevent someone from buying into Nalan's family, we will definitely use newcomers to investigate. Currently, there is only one newcomer in the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Fu Dongfeng. If you go to investigate, you will find more evidence than us. As for how the emperor convicts the empress, it depends on how the closing statement is written, and Fu Dongfeng will not buy Chen Yanlin's face."

After Bian Jiusi finished speaking, his pacing finally stopped. Looking back, he saw Ziheng and Lan'er staring at him dumbfounded, Sima Yu frowned with a serious expression, and Qing Ge was hesitant to speak. look.

He couldn't help but asked blankly: "Is there any better suggestion?"

Yan Ziheng patted him on the back, and said with a smile: "Okay, you are floating in the rivers and lakes, these officials, you know all about it, and there is nothing wrong with plotting!"

Bian Jiusi put his hands into his wide sleeves and smiled lightly, revealing a pair of dimples again: "Young Master Yan is absurd. Although he is not in the court, there is naturally some news in the medical hall and market, but it is just heard."

Qing Ge was dazzled by his show, and said with difficulty: "Mr. Bian... really planned a strategy and won a decisive victory thousands of miles away."

Sima Yu couldn't help but nodded, and sighed: "I really admire it."

"As a minister, it's all about saving your heart." Bian Jiusi bowed back, "As long as you can help His Highness and Yin... Your Majesty... Bian will do his best."

Sima Yu frowned, cupped his hands and said sincerely: "In the future, I will often ask for advice. I hope that you will not hesitate to give me your advice. I will find an opportunity to visit Chen Yanlin in private."

"I'll give some medicine to Miss Handong and Miss Lan'er, and then I'll make new medicine for the empress." Bian Jiusi said, "The empress must never go to the ground, she can only rest on the bed."

Qing Ge nodded, she was holding on before, but now that the troubles are over, she suddenly felt sleepy, and when she lay down, her eyelids were heavy and she just wanted to close her eyes and sleep.When everyone saw it, they left the inner room one after another, and they all helped to tidy up the messy outer room.

Seeing Ziheng's clumsiness, Lan'er covered her face and laughed at him: "Young Master Yan, you better not move, you will cry after scratching your hands on the tile!"

Han Dong also smiled and said: "Young Master Yan is always taken care of by someone, and he doesn't do housework. When he gets married in the future, his wife will take care of him, so there is no need to know about these things."

Yan Ziheng rolled his eyes and said, "What the hell!"

"Speaking of which, Young Master Yan will be of marriageable age in two years. Is there any girl he likes now?" Han Dong saw that he didn't have the habit of being a son of a wealthy family at all. He was very approachable and liked talking to him a lot.

When Lan'er heard this, her hands paused, and her ears perked up.

Ziheng waved his hand and said, "The man hasn't made any achievements yet, so what are we talking about at home?"

"That's not right. You can take your time to make contributions. Only by marrying a good wife can you feel more at ease to make achievements!"

"Sacrificing someone else's youth for no reason, why bother? Naturally, marrying her after she has meritorious deeds can give her a better life and be more together." Yan Ziheng replied casually.

Lan'er blushed a little when she heard this, but fortunately her face was already red and swollen, so she spat and said: "You don't even have anyone you like at your age, so you're still talking about it! "

"Haven't you ever eaten pork or seen a pig running?" Yan Ziheng spread his hands with a logical look on his face.
