Jingwan drank some hot tea with the two elders, ate some snacks, and chatted with them at the same time. It was very pleasant.
Then, not long after, Li Hongyuan appeared.
Jingwan was surprised, "So fast?" She thought that she would have to wait until she left the palace to see him.
Li Hongyuan waved his hand, excusing Luo Daren and Luo Lao Furen from the ceremony. These two people were also not polite, "Ceremony cannot be abolished?" Obviously, they would not be so polite to the person who stole their granddaughter.
Li Hongyuan sat next to Jingwan, directly took Jingwan's teacup and drank two mouthfuls before opening his mouth, "Things fell apart."
His expression and tone were very indifferent. To be unhappy with the person who raised him for so many years, even if his mood wasn't that bad, at least it shouldn't be as if nothing happened.
The two elders of the Luo family looked at each other. So to say, the relationship between Jin Qinwang and Su Gui Fei seemed to be more complicated than they expected. Moreover, it was obvious that Jin Qinwang was in the lead. Not to mention how Su Gui Fei treated Jingwan, this point was very disgusting, but she was after all the person who raised him for more than twenty years. Their impression of her was still somewhat bad.
He was able to operate such a large power under the eyes of so many people, yet he could make everyone think that he had no power or influence. He was so scheming, and his skills were as high as the sky, yet he was so heartless. If he wanted to do anything to Wan Wan, Wan Wan would definitely be played by him until not even dregs were left. — — Well, they didn't care about how Li Hongyuan was with other people. It didn't matter if Su Gui Fei was killed by him, they were only worried about Jingwan.
Li Hongyuan saw their expressions but didn't say anything. How he treated Jingwan, he didn't need to use his mouth to tell others. He would only use his actions. Sooner or later, he would let those who truly cared about Jingwan feel absolutely assured about him. Every time Jingwan was mentioned, they would say that she was blessed to have married a good husband. Of course, he wasn't deliberately doing this for others to see. After all, as time passed, outsiders would eventually find out, and it would be easy to guess what they would say.
Jingwan's attention was on Li Hongyuan. "Can't you get someone to serve you a cup of tea? It only takes a moment."
Li Hongyuan's gaze fell on her lips. "What hasn't this prince eaten before? Do you care about this?"
Perhaps only the inexperienced young lady would not understand the deeper meaning of these words. It was fine if she messed around in private, but now, in front of the two elders, Jingwan's face immediately turned red. Not to mention now, even in her previous life, it would be quite shameful to say such things in front of the elders. Jingwan flew into a rage out of humiliation. She subconsciously stretched out her leg to kick Li Hongyuan. After the kick, she realized that she had done something stupid again. Flirting in front of her grandparents, Jingwan wished she could find a hole to hide in.
Out of the corner of her eyes, she secretly glanced at the two elders. They were calmly drinking tea and talking to each other tacitly. It was not a forced topic, it was very natural.
Jingwan exhaled and forced herself to calm down. She let the heat on her face fade away as soon as possible. She fiercely glared at Li Hongyuan. This bastard, couldn't he care about the occasion?
Li Hongyuan smiled but did not speak. His own wife also had times when she would deceive herself.
— — Laugh, laugh, laugh. What's so funny, still laughing?
Old Madam Luo saw Jingwan's rare embarrassed and angry appearance. She was really becoming more and more delicate. This little temper was also growing. This was something that she had not been able to do for several years. Looking at the obvious half of a footprint on the hem of Jin Qinwang's robes, as a wife, her granddaughter was probably the first person to have the guts to kick her own Qinwang Husband. But this granddaughter still did not realize that she had done such a shocking thing. Looking at Jin Qinwang, he had an indifferent appearance. Not only was he not angry, he even had a doting smile on his face. One could see the truth in the details. In private, the two should have no misgivings when interacting with each other. So, perhaps her worries were a bit unnecessary? At least for now, this was indeed the case.
She still sighed in her heart. Before Wan Wan was married, no matter how much she was pampered, in reality, because of her old woman's physical condition, Wan Wan was always rational and restrained. She took good care of her grandmother, didn't want others to worry about her, didn't cause trouble for others, and did things that many people who had experienced hardships could not do. Jingwan did not reach her ideal appearance before getting married. It was false that she was not disappointed or regretful. After all, as a married woman, it would only be more difficult and it was even more impossible for her to show the appearance that a delicate girl should have. But now, it seemed that Wan Wan was the complete opposite. If it was not for her husband's pampering, it was absolutely impossible for her to be like this. Moreover, it was not an ordinary pampering. Only the kind of pampering that allowed her to not worry would be like this. And with Li Hongyuan's identity and status, as long as he was willing, he could completely do this. Obviously, not only was he willing, he also did it. From this point of view, Old Madam Luo felt that perhaps she should thank Jin Qinwang.
Jingwan retracted her gaze and inadvertently swept across Old Madam Luo's line of sight. Her breathing became heavier, she lowered her eyes and obediently pretended to be an ostrich.
Jingwan felt that it was shameful, but Li Hongyuan did not care. They were Wan Wan's closest people. He was close to Wan Wan, at most he would say a few words that seemed to be true and false, but he should still be happy in his heart. Therefore, there were some things that he did not have so many scruples about. Li Hongyuan was a person who did as he pleased, but in reality, when it came to Jingwan's matters, he actually cared quite a bit. Therefore, he cared about her as a person, therefore he cared about everything about her.
Li Hongyuan and Old Madam Luo looked at each other, both of them having a tacit understanding.
Li Hongyuan chatted with the two elders of the Luo Family for a while, waiting for Jingwan to voluntarily "reveal her head". Because they were all considerate, Jingwan did not pretend to be an ostrich for long.
They did not ask about the matter of Gui Fei Su, but Li Hongyuan took the initiative to bring it up. Not for anything else, but because they were wholeheartedly concerned about Jingwan, he reassured their hearts.
Therefore, Li Hongyuan's treatment of Gui Fei Su was not heartless. There was a reason for it.
There were only four of them present, and the servants had all retreated far away. With Li Hongyuan's keen senses, he was sure that there would not be a fifth person who heard it.
Although it was not the first time that Jingwan heard Li Hongyuan talk about this matter, but hearing it again, she still felt distressed. At that time, he was only ten years old ah. How could Gui Fei Su be so heartless? How could she do it? One could have feelings for a kitten or puppy, let alone a person. Moreover, it was a person who had put in a lot of effort and thought. When Jingwan faced Gui Fei Su, she actually wanted to shake her with all her might to clear her mind and ask her if she had the slightest hesitation when she took action.
Although the two elders of the Luo Family were more restrained, their expressions were also very ugly. In fact, this husband and wife were not people who cared about blind loyalty and filial piety. Therefore, they did not feel that Li Hongyuan's actions towards Gui Fei Su were wrong and should not be done. Thinking about it, if these two were the kind of people who would "do whatever their parents say", "whatever their parents do is right", and "whatever their parents do cannot be disobeyed", not to mention that Li Hongyuan would not tell them anything, even Jingwan would not have a good relationship with them.
After getting angry, Luo Peishan narrowed his eyes, revealing a bit of fierce danger. "Gui Fei Su targeted Wan Wan for no reason. Do you think this old man is a dead man?"
Therefore, Luo Peishan, this old fox, did not do anything that was not suitable for him to do. He was angry because of his granddaughter. What were you going to do about it? With Luo Peishan's smooth way of handling things and the help of Ruan Ruizhong, the Prime Minister of the Cabinet, no matter how much Li Hongming suffered, he could not find a reason to complain to Le Chengdi.
Some of Gui Fei Su's methods were too smooth and successful. When she targeted Jingwan, she did not think about whether it was appropriate. The biggest difference between Jingwan and Princess Liu was that Jingwan would not be controlled by Gui Fei Su and would not be bound by reputation. Princess Liu would swallow the insult, but Jingwan would never do that. Princess Liu had never resisted. Moreover, Gui Fei Su usually trained her daughter-in-law in private, so others naturally did not know about it. Therefore, when she occasionally said something meaningful, most people would not think too much about it. However, the two elders of the Luo Family were not to be trifled with. They loved Jingwan very much. Jingwan was his sweetheart. It was not an exaggeration to say that he loved Jingwan very much. Therefore, if he bullied Jingwan, he expected to get along with her as he trained Princess Liu and even bring her a good reputation. He must be dreaming!
Eunuch Mu made a slight noise beside him and then approached, "Master, Gui Fei Su's people are here. Gui Fei Su seems to have called for an imperial doctor just now."
Li Hongyuan lowered his head to drink tea. Eunuch Mu quietly retreated.
"Tonight, one by one, the imperial doctors were called. Originally, I thought that this year's birthday, the heavens would be beautiful. Unfortunately, people are not beautiful. This is probably more annoying than the heavens not being beautiful."
Not long after, the person who came to see Li Hongyuan went upstairs. It was the same eunuch from before. On such a cold day, he was sweating all over. It could be seen how fast he had come. "Greetings to Wangye …"
The greeting went down, but Jin Qinwang did not call for him to rise. Instead, he waited for a word: Get lost!
The eunuch trembled all over, but he did not dare to really get lost. If he did not pass on the message, then … "Wangye, Gui Fei Su, she …"
With a bang, a teacup bloomed on his forehead. Of course, his forehead also bloomed. Jin Qinwang did not speak, but the living King of Hell directly made his move.
If he did not pass on the message, he might suffer when he went back. However, if he continued to speak, he might lose his life now. It was human instinct to choose the lesser of two evils. Therefore, the eunuch covered his forehead and quickly got lost.
Jin Qinwang was currently in a fit of anger. Wasn't it natural that he did not want to hear about Gui Fei Su? If he did not hear anything, he naturally did not need to see Gui Fei Su.
Jingwan was quite calm. The two elders of the Luo family were still a little speechless. Therefore, this bad reputation was not without benefits. No one could be so reckless.
"Wangye, Gui Fei Su may not be pretending to be ill to force you to see her again. It is also possible that she is really ill. Is it really good not to go?" Luo Daren said.
"So what?" Li Hongyuan said as a matter of course.
"Your current reputation is only worthy of praise for being filial." Others did not dare to say this, but Jingwan was not polite at all.
"What does what other people think have to do with Ben Wang? As for Fuhuang, if Ben Wang told Fuhuang that Su shi was worried that Ben Wang would threaten her son and secretly targeted Ben Wang, and even told him that Su shi was hypocritical and raised Ben Wang only to fight for favor. On the surface, she was doing her best for Ben Wang, but inside, there was not a bit of sincerity. Ben Wang's temperament today is completely useless because of her. At that time, what would Su shi's end be? "
Jingwan and the two elders of the Luo family fell silent. Vicious, this move was truly too vicious.
Li Hongyuan and Gui Fei Su had lived together in peace for more than twenty years. They were even very close to each other as mother and son. If he said this now, the credibility wouldn't be high. However, Li Hongyuan could completely smooth things over and say that he lost his mother when he was born. Although Gui Fei Su had ulterior motives, she at least treated him well on the surface. He was grateful to Gui Fei Su for raising him and had a strong affection for her. He didn't want to be estranged from her, so he exiled himself. After all, according to his own vague memories, he should have been quite good before the age of ten. He changed after his rebirth at the age of ten, and it was a subtle change. As he grew up year after year, he understood more and more. He also understood Gui Fei Su's character more and more. In that case, it was completely reasonable to say that it was all because of Gui Fei Su.
The reason why they fell out now was mainly because Gui Fei Su was becoming more and more excessive. It was already unbearable. The first sign of this was when they returned from Jiangnan.
Because Li Hongyuan's situation was special, Le Chengdi didn't want him to be too capable and have thoughts that he shouldn't have. Therefore, when Li Hongyuan developed in the direction of a good-for-nothing "trash", Le Chengdi favored him more and more. However, the result of his self-exile and the result of someone else's deliberate actions were definitely two different concepts. If Le Chengdi believed in Li Hongyuan's words, then for the sake of balance, even if Gui Fei Su wasn't immediately banished to the Cold Palace, she wouldn't be separated from her position. The Jade Essence Palace would also become a Cold Palace without a name.
Therefore, it was actually very easy for Li Hongyuan to completely overthrow Gui Fei Su. He only needed to move his lips and put on an emotional show.
Li Hongyuan hadn't made a move against her because he needed time to cultivate his power. Only when the Empress's faction and Gui Fei Su's faction were evenly matched could he be safer, more hidden, and more time. Now, it was about time. Gui Fei Su's value had reached its end. Moreover, she shouldn't have targeted Jingwan. Therefore, Li Hongyuan naturally wouldn't feign civility with her.
Although the four of them were "isolated", how could such a big movement not attract the attention of others? However, this matter was related to the King of Hell. Even if they were curious, it was best not to get involved. Some things should be listened to if they could, but if they couldn't, then it was best to pretend that they didn't know anything. This was the best.
Because the imperial physicians were all in the Sweet Dew Palace, Le Chengdi was also there. On one hand, it was because of Qin Shufei. On the other hand, he wasn't in the mood to have fun with others. If he wasn't in the mood and it was cold, he naturally wouldn't come out. At this time, Gui Fei Su's people went to invite the imperial physicians, so Le Chengdi had to be alerted.
Therefore, the shadow in Le Chengdi's heart was definitely not small.
In the end, she was a woman that he had doted on for 20 to 30 years. It was impossible for Le Chengdi to not ask. With this question, his head hurt even more. Although the person who was asked couldn't give a reason.
After Old Sixth came back from Jiangnan, he had been unhappy with his mother. It seemed that they hadn't completely eased up. Now, it had escalated to another level?
Therefore, if Li Hongyuan wanted to have a falling out with Gui Fei Su now, the foundation had already been set on fire. After all, Le Chengdi himself thought so too.
"Call Old Sixth to the Sweet Dew Palace," Le Chengdi thought for a moment, "and bring his wangfei along."
Since Le Chengdi had asked someone to invite him, Li Hongyuan still had to give face. Moreover, he wanted his old man to see him being "wronged", "sad", and "angry". It was acting, so naturally, he had to put on a full performance. Only then would it be perfect. Moreover, some of his goals had been completely achieved. There was no need to continue staying in the palace. Taking advantage of his "bad mood" to leave, his old man would most likely agree. Even if Jingwan didn't feel cold, he would still feel distressed.
Not long after they arrived, Le Chengdi came out from the inner hall. When he saw Li Hongyuan's gloomy expression, he gave off an aura that said, "Don't get close to me." Alright, before he even asked anything, Le Chengdi's heart softened. He sat down and raised his hand to Jingwan, who was greeting him, to let her rise, "What's going on now? What are you arguing with your mother? "He didn't even mind that Li Hongyuan didn't greet him.
"Arguing?" Li Hongyuan sneered, "In father's eyes, am I a three-year-old child?"
"Alright, alright, alright. Then tell me, what's going on?" He was already physically and mentally exhausted, but this matter kept coming one after another.
"If father wants to know, you should ask mother directly. Why ask me? I don't know." Li Hongyuan seemed to be poked at his reverse scale, and his face became colder and colder.
Although Li Hongyuan didn't make Le Chengdi angry and often talked back to him, Le Chengdi had never seen Li Hongyuan like this. At that time, Li Hongyuan was mostly arrogant and insolent. But now, under the coldness, there was anger and grievance. Le Chengdi really couldn't smash things and scold Li Hongyuan like he used to. He rubbed his temples, "Alright, don't say it. I'll ask your mother later. No matter what your mother says or does, she still cares about you. Don't make too much of a fuss. Rest in Sweet Dew Palace for a while, and then go back home. Anyway, there's nothing for you to do in the palace. "
As for the matter of Imperial Concubine Su asking for an imperial physician, whether Li Hongyuan knew or not, he didn't mention it. With his son's current anger, even if he 'showed weakness' and forced him to lower his head now, the backlash would probably be more serious. It was better to wait for his anger to subside. Therefore, Le Chengdi didn't consider Imperial Concubine Su's feelings at all. He didn't care if she would feel better after seeing her son now. Obviously, between Imperial Concubine Su and Li Hongyuan, Le Chengdi chose his son without hesitation.
As a bystander, Jingwan emotionally wanted to clap her hands and praise Le Chengdi for doing a good job. But rationally, she could only say that Le Chengdi was too much of a scumbag tonight. He had already let down one person after another, and now he was rudely rubbing salt on people's wounds.
And this wasn't the first time she saw Li Hongyuan's acting, but every time she saw it, she would gasp in amazement.
Several people came in from outside the hall. Gong Jiu, Yu Zhongqing, and Li Suyan were among them. "Greetings, Your Majesty."
"Rise. What's the result of the investigation?" Le Chengdi was still most concerned about Imperial Concubine Qin being poisoned. After all, this matter could also be related to his life. If he couldn't find out the truth, Le Chengdi wouldn't have a moment of peace.
"Replying to Your Majesty, the source of the other half of the poison has been found. It came from a sachet used by Imperial Concubine Shu. What was slightly different from the previous prediction was that Imperial Concubine Shu didn't only come into contact with this sachet once. She had been wearing it since before the banquet. The source of the sachet has also been found. Imperial Concubine Shu's things all came from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Basically, she didn't let anyone buy it. The same goes for the sachet. According to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, a batch of sachets was sent to the harem yesterday. However, Imperial Concubine Shu wasn't the only one. All the concubines above the rank of concubine in the harem had a share. Moreover, the sachets only have different fabrics and embroidery patterns on the outside, but the fragrance inside is the same, "Yu Zhongqing said.
In this way, all the concubines above the rank of concubine had a share. Or rather, to confuse the public, they made such a scene to prevent the culprit from being found out quickly. However, if there was a problem with something from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, it was a very dangerous signal. After all, in the entire palace, too many things came from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. If there was a problem with one, there could be a second or third one. Therefore, Le Chengdi's expression didn't improve at all.
"Your Majesty, there's no problem with the Ministry of Internal Affairs. This commoner has said before that the other half of the poison is different from the one fed to the chickens. The effect of the poison doesn't last long. Therefore, although many concubines in the harem have a sachet, Imperial Concubine Shu's sachet must have been tampered with before she used it."
Hearing Gong Jiu's words, Le Chengdi finally let out a sigh of relief. "Is it easy to get this poison?"
"It's difficult. When it's made into a finished medicine, it's too toxic to be carried. If you're careless, you'll hurt yourself easily. If you're not very proficient in it, you won't dare to touch it easily. As for separating, even if you only separate one medicine, there must be another medicine in the remaining part. As the saying goes, success depends on it, and failure depends on it. There are several medicines in this poison that are hard to get. Once they're processed, they'll lose their efficacy very quickly. Putting that special medicine can prolong the efficacy of these medicines, but it won't last long. At the same time, it's also the most important component of this poison. Because it's a special poison itself, it can make a weak person have a kind of final radiance of health. However, when the effect of the medicine is over, the person will be weaker than before. The effect will last for a long time. If it's serious, it may even shorten the person's life. When I was studying medicine with my teacher, I saw this medicine once. My teacher warned me that this medicine was harmful and not beneficial, so I shouldn't use it lightly. This medicine mostly grows in the southwest near Southern Qi. More than 90 percent of it grows on cliffs and precipices. However, according to my teacher, some people who didn't know the truth named this medicine 'Revival' and planted it. Borrowing its special 'revival effect,' it was once widely used by the locals. Later, when they learned of its harmful effects, it was gradually abandoned by the locals. However, I've heard of a few cases. There's no specific region, but it feels very much like it was caused by Revival. "
"From what you're saying, the medicine called Revival should have been made in the palace before the banquet, just like the other medicines that lose their efficacy easily?"
"Your Majesty, it must be so. The advantages and disadvantages of this poison are very obvious. If used properly, its power is limitless. However, if used improperly, all previous efforts will be wasted. "
Le Chengdi was relieved. "Is it necessary to go to such great lengths to feed poisonous chickens?"
"Your Majesty, there's actually a possibility that you've misunderstood one thing. Making the medicine and putting it into the chicken feed is a process of preparing the chicken feed. The chickens that can be brought into the palace should be specially raised. The process of preparing chicken feed is not simple. Adding an extra step can't be considered a great deal of trouble. The ingredients themselves are easy to obtain. The problem with the poisonous chickens can't be found, and it's easy to enter deep into the palace. The other half of the poison can be used to take advantage of the fact that the medicine disperses quickly, and it's easy to destroy the corpse and erase all traces. For example, today, if no one noticed that the poisonous chickens were easy to rot, or if I didn't happen to know something, how could I have found the source of the poison? "
In other people's ears, Gong Jiu sounded like he was boasting. They had to admit that he was right.
Some of the ingredients for this poison were difficult to obtain, but it didn't mean that they couldn't be obtained. Once obtained, the success rate was very high. Even if they didn't succeed, it was easy to get away with it.
"How did that poisonous chicken get here? Have you found out? Since it was extra, it couldn't have sneaked in from outside the palace. "
In the palace, every main hall, side hall, and even the back hall had a small kitchen. Some concubines could always find ways to get special things for themselves. Later, it became an unspoken rule. However, those things were strictly checked when they entered the palace. The concubines also knew that they shouldn't easily accept other people's things. Basically, they lived in peace. Therefore, the Imperial Kitchen was not the only place where there were chickens.
"Your Majesty, it's clear. It's said that a little eunuch of the Imperial Kitchen brought it in from outside. According to the words of the other people in the Imperial Kitchen, the eunuch even shouted that the person in charge of the chickens was so careless that he ran out. Because they were all familiar with each other, no one thought much about it. When it was traced, the little eunuch had been killed, and the clues were cut off. We didn't dare to enter the harem without permission. "
Le Chengdi sneered, "The person behind the scenes is very cunning. He was one step ahead. Even if the poisonous chicken was the real harem, it must be gone by now. " And this kind of thing, Le Chengdi actually didn't want to talk about his wives. That would be very shameful, and it would be even more shameful if they couldn't find out.
One of Le Chengdi's eunuchs hurried in, "Your Majesty, someone from the Kunyi Palace came. The Empress was forced to attend the banquet. She caught a cold and her condition worsened. Now she is in a coma."
Le Chengdi suddenly stood up. It wasn't that he cared about the Empress. It was just that he just knew that the Empress came back to life and this happened?
Everyone looked at each other. Wasn't this too much of a coincidence? But thinking carefully, the Empress seemed to be in good spirits at the banquet. Then, was it her?
