Qi Hao Extra Story (24)
Yun Sheng contracted the plague and died, which seemed like an accident. But the prince was accompanied by an imperial physician, so it was impossible for him not to know that people and objects infected with the plague should not be touched, so Qi Hao did not believe it was an accident.
Qihao is worried about leaving it to other people, so Qiyou, who is best at investigating cases, investigates the matter thoroughly.
Two months later, Qiyou told Qihao the results of his investigation.
When Qihao heard this result, he couldn't believe it: "You said Yin Guifei is the mastermind behind the scenes?" Concubine Yin Gui actually refers to Yin Tiantian. In Qihao's heart, Yin Tiantian has no children under her knees, and has no connection with the prince. No matter how you look at it, she has no motive to harm the prince. And these years, Yin Guipin has always been peaceful, and she has never participated in some women's fights in the harem. If it wasn't for Qiyou who said this, he would probably be suspicious.
Qiyou said: "Maybe there is someone behind her." Anyway, he has found Yin Guipin now. Also because Yin Guipin was a concubine, he could not torture to extract a confession without Qihao's consent.
Yin Tiantian was feeding the sixth princess egg custard, and her heart skipped a beat when she heard the emperor summoning her. But soon, Yin Tiantian said calmly: "Grandpa Yuanbao, please allow me to change my clothes."
After she lost her baby, Yin Tiantian later became pregnant again. But because she was too weak, the child was not saved in the end. Tan Aoshuang saw that she had done her duty all these years, so she told Yun Qing to let her raise the sixth princess under her knees.
Yuan Bao said: "The emperor hastily summoned your majesty, and asked her to go with our family to Qianqing Palace immediately." Although he didn't know what happened, but based on his understanding of Qi Hao, Yin Guifei might be killed this time.
Yin Tiantian walked into the Qianqing Palace, and seeing Qi Hao with a gloomy face and Qi You with fierce eyes, her heart sank to the bottom of the valley in an instant.
Qi Hao slapped Yin Tiantian down with a slap, making Yin Tiantian dizzy and fell to the ground.
"Bitch, why did you want to kill the prince?" He believed in Qiyou's methods of investigating the case, but he couldn't figure out why Yin Tiantian wanted to kill Yun Sheng. The two did not meet, nor did they have any grievances. Even the queen, she has no feud with Yin Tiantian.
In fact, when Yin Tiantian heard that Shi Qiyou was in charge of the case, Yin Tiantian knew that she was in danger. There is no way, Qiyou's reputation is too prominent, and there is no case in his hands that cannot be solved. So upon hearing Qihao's words, Yin Tiantian knew that she had been exposed.
Wiping the blood from the corner of her mouth, Yin Tiantian sneered and said, "Why? Of course it's for revenge."
"Are you suffering from insanity? What enmity can the prince have against you?" Yun Sheng has a generous temperament and treats his younger brothers very well. As for the concubine, she has never been in contact with it. The only thing that made Qihao dissatisfied these years was his insistence on marrying Tan Rumeng. Others are fine.
Knowing that she was bound to die, Yin Tiantian no longer concealed it: "If the queen hadn't killed my child that day, my child would be more than ten years old now." And the first child was not killed by the queen, and the second child was killed by the queen. It won't be because she is too poor to keep it. Therefore, Yin Tiantian hated Tan Aoshuang to the core. Asking her to raise the sixth princess is just a hypocritical display of her kindness, and she doesn't accept this at all.
"She killed my child, and I want her to bear the pain of bereavement." If Yu Xi was present, she would feel that these words were very familiar.
"I think you are really crazy. You obviously fell down and lost that child by yourself." Because of such a ridiculous reason, it's really not worth it to take Yun Sheng's life.
Qiyou asked calmly: "Who told you that the queen dropped the child?"
Yin Tiantian sneered endlessly: "No need for others to tell me, I know it was her, she killed my son. If my son was still alive, I wouldn't be living like a walking dead. So, I want her to Get retribution."
"Your Majesty, I only hope that the concubine will never meet you again in the next life." After finishing speaking, Yin Tiantian slammed into the pillar.
Qiyou had already guarded against her move, and immediately stepped forward to stop her. Yin Tiantian attempted to commit suicide.
Qihao said with a gloomy face, "Qiyou, you must pry her mouth open."
Yin Tiantian has only one elder sister, Yin Kangle, who has been running schools abroad for these years and has not returned to Beijing. And Yin Kangle is married and has a happy family. Qihao didn't think that Yin Kangle would help Yin Tiantian, and Yin Tiantian herself didn't have that much energy to harm the prince. There must be someone behind her.
Yin Tiantian thought that after this matter fell through, she would just die, but what she didn't know was that there are many ways to make life worse than death in this world.
After entering the torture room, Yin Tiantian bit her to death and said that she had no accomplices. Later, he couldn't stand the punishment, so he said the names of Concubine Shu, Concubine Hui and Concubine Rou.
Qiyou has been in charge of the prison for so many years, how can he not know that the initial confession is watery. So he was not moved when he heard the name, and continued to ask the executioner to cut off small pieces of her body.
Yin Tiantian finally broke down and said that Concubine Shu was helping her. Even the identities of the maids who delivered the news and how they delivered the news were clearly stated.
Concubine Shu is Shen Ruowei, and her third prince, Yundan, is very smart and is often praised by his husband.
When Qihao heard that the mastermind behind the scenes was Concubine Shu, his expression became darker: "Is it Concubine Shu?" Since entering the palace, Concubine Shu has been quiet and indifferent to the world, saying that she is the mastermind behind the scenes, Qi Hao I really can't believe it.
Qiyou shook his head and said: "Only Yin Tiantian's testimony does not mean that Concubine Shu is the mastermind behind the scenes. We still need to have definite evidence. If Mrs. Yin is slandering Concubine Shu and punishing her without conclusive evidence, On the contrary, it is as the real behind-the-scenes master intended."
"We must find out the mastermind behind the scenes." Even she dared to attack the crown prince, what else she dared not do.
Qiyou also wanted to find out the mastermind behind the scenes, but according to Yin Tiantian's confession, the woman in charge of delivering the message jumped into the well and died. This court lady works in the Shangfu Bureau, and a sister with a particularly close relationship works in the Kunning Palace. It can't be the queen who wants to kill the prince! Therefore, the case reached an impasse.
Qihao was silent for a moment and then said: "Come with me to Baihuayuan!" This matter must be told to parents, otherwise the two elders will definitely miss it.
Yun Qing's first words when he saw Qi Hao: "Have you found out who is behind the scenes?" Yun Sheng is the prince, if no one harms him, it is impossible for him to be infected with the plague.
After repeating Yin Tiantian's words, Qihao said with a sullen face, "I didn't expect that she would blame the empress for this matter." He sent someone to investigate this matter that day, and it was indeed an accident. However, looking at Yin Tiantian who was already crazy, he didn't say this anymore. Because even if he said it, Yin might not believe it.
Yunqing gritted his teeth and said, "It's time to cut her into pieces." Just because of this guess, he killed his eldest grandson, how could Yunqing not hate it.
Qiyou hummed and said: "Father, don't worry, I have already cut her alive." The Yin family almost made him lose his father, so he would not let it go so easily. It is difficult to solve the hatred in his heart if she is not allowed to suffer all kinds of torture.
Yun Qing's face froze instantly.
Yuxi said softly: "Brother Sheng is gone, no matter how uncomfortable you are, you will never come back. Don't think so much, take care of your illness, and don't make me and the children worry."
Yun Qing nodded slightly. Although it was said that Yun Sheng's death had hit him hard, he quickly cheered up. If not, leaving Yuxi alone, how could he feel at ease. No matter how filial the children are, they are not as good as him being by his side.
After soothing Yunqing to sleep, Yuxi called Qihao and Qiyou out.
"Tell me, who is the mastermind behind the scenes?" Yin's murdered Yun Sheng, this can only be said by her husband, but she cannot be fooled.
Qiyou stood up and said: "Mother, Yin said that Concubine Shu was helping him in secret, but we didn't have any substantial evidence." In fact, Yin's testimony is enough to punish Concubine Shu. But he was afraid that if he caught Concubine Shu, the real mastermind behind the scenes would get his way.
Yuxi didn't comment on this, but said to Qiyou: "Ayou, you go and guard your father, I have something to say to your elder brother."
When Qiyou heard this, he avoided it immediately. He knew it was inconvenient to hear some things.
"Ah Hao, what do you say about this?"
"I will arrange people around Concubine Shu. If she really did it, she will show her feet sooner or later." Yun Sheng is the prince, and killing him shows that the purpose of the people behind the scenes is the throne. As long as this person dares to make a move, he will definitely be able to find out.
Yuxi hummed and said: "Concubine Hui and Concubine Rou, concubines with good family backgrounds and princes, should be let in." Concubines who are young or too low in rank and have no influence from their natal families are not on guard for the time being. within range.
Qi Hao nodded.
Yuxi asked without hesitation: "Brother Sheng is gone, and when he passes July 7, there will definitely be ministers asking you to be crowned prince. Ah Hao, what are your plans?" Yun Sheng is gone, he must There is a new prince. In this way, if the emperor has an accident, the country will not be in turmoil.
Now only Yunqing and Yuxi can ask this question. Others, if they asked, they would definitely make Qi Hao angry.
After a long silence, Qihao said: "Mother, I want to confer the title of grandson to Brother Bin."
Yuxi didn't agree: "Brother Bin is too young, and he doesn't know what the future will be. Besides, if you canonize him as grandson now, then he will become the target of public criticism. Whether he can live to the year of weak crown is a question."
Qi Hao smiled wryly and said: "Mother, brother Tan has a bad temper and acts impulsively. If he can be named the crown prince, I'm afraid that the Ming Dynasty will be destroyed by him." , normally speaking, the second son should be canonized as the heir. But Brother Yu is really not a good candidate. Brother Bin is the eldest grandson, so canonization makes sense in terms of legislation.
Hearing this, Yuxi said: "I just said that it is not suitable to canonize Brother Bin as a grandson now, and I didn't say that it will not be possible in the future. Wait five or six years, and it will not be too late to talk about it." Wait until Brother Bin is in his teens , Personality and temperament are also stereotyped. If it feels appropriate, Wei Weiwei can't canonize him as grandson.
After a pause, Yu Xi said: "However, don't reveal your thoughts. Otherwise, Brother Bin may not live to be an adult." If you know that Brother Bin will become the heir, those ambitious people will definitely not tolerate it. No matter how many people Qi Hao sends to protect Brother Bin, there will always be omissions.
Qihao nodded and said, "I know."
