Chapter 033 Banquet 4
I was confused by Li Shimin's magnificent behavior, and I couldn't help but feel throbbing and doubtful. What thrombled was all that he had done today; what he wondered why he did this? Why do you have to introduce all the good products?
I looked at the good product on the table and picked up a piece of sweet snow and bit it in my mouth. It was fragrant and delicious. The palace banquet is really delicious!
The next day, the sky snowed heavily. Due to the cold weather, Princess Qin read a book on the couch wrapped in a thick blanket and soon fell asleep. At this time, Li Shimin came in and ordered someone to help Princess Qin back to sleep. He also told me that today was a vacation. I retreated and came out of the Chengqian Hall with an umbrella. A gust of wind blew on my face, and the weather was getting colder and colder. I patted the snowflakes on my clothes and smiled at the corners of my mouth. This is the closest to the East Palace. Li Jiancheng would not mind going to hide from the snow in the East Palace.
When I entered the East Palace, Li Jiancheng happened to come out of it, as if he wanted to go out. When he saw me, he pulled me to the temple in surprise to help me pat off the snow on my body: "Why are you here?" I laughed and said, "Why, don't you allow me to come?" Li Jiancheng turned over his eyebrows with joy and said, "It's a pity that I'm going out. You can wait for me in the study first. I'll be back as soon as I go."
I smiled and nodded. He held my face and kissed my forehead and hurried away. I looked at the inner hall, and the crown princess no longer hid and walked slowly. You should be so bold that you seduced the prince in the East Palace. The princess gritted her teeth. Otherwise, I smiled and said, "I remember that the princess once said that I would leave the maidservant by the prince's side. Didn't the princess want to go up her promise?" There was a trace of disdain in the prince's eyes: "Of course I won't go up to my promise!"
I bowed my head and said, "What does the princess want me to do?"
The princess snorted coldly: "I also know a little about the Qian Hall that night. Meng Changde once helped me. It's so cold and it's the New Year. Please visit him in the prison for me. She stretched out her hand and a men's robe.
"Yes." I took the robe and answered. I speculated in my heart. When I got up, I stepped on the corner of my skirt and accidentally jumped on the princess's leg. The princess screamed and shouted angrily and pushed me away. The maids around her surrounded her. The princess angrily looked at me and waved her hand to let me leave. I smiled sorry: "Princess is really a good measure. She hates a person so much but can be so patient."
I left in the eyes of the crown princess who was angry but did not dare to vent. She did not dare to be angry with me. First, she still needed to use me. Secondly, she was afraid of Li Jiancheng.
I didn't go to the prison soon, but found Song Yi at Shang Pharmacy before going to the prison. The prisoner at the door stopped us. I smiled confidently and took out something from my sleeve. When the prisoner saw it, he let us in. This time, the doubt in my heart is a little more certain. Following one of the prisoners, I said to Song Yi, "The crown princess sent me to see Meng Changde. The emperor did not punish him on New Year's Day, but he should also take good care of his body to avoid any problems in the next interrogation."
The prison service in front of him stopped and was facing a cell, and the person who stayed in it was Meng Changde.
"Open the door and let Song Fengyu have a look." I said. When the prison service opened the door, Meng Changde rushed out. This person could only play with Wenmo and did not know martial arts. He was captured by the prisoner in one or two. At this time, he was already haggard and his hair was whiter. He shouted, "Let me out, and the house is still waiting for me to be reunited!" I can't die, I can't!"
I took a step forward and comforted him and said, "Lord Meng, please rest assured. It's very cold. I came to Lord Meng by the order of the East Palace to see if it was cold.
"Is it...isn't it?" Meng Changde said, looking at the robe in my hand. I smiled gently and handed it to him: "Look, the robe was taken from the East Palace. Is there any fake?"
Meng Changde was corrupt and went to prison. Seeing this shiny robe, he was happy. He took the robe and put it on his body, boasting that the robe was warm. Song Yi nodded and smiled at him, signaling to see his pulse cold. He did not hesitate to stretch out his hand to diagnose his pulse. Suddenly, Meng Changde took a deep breath, patted his chest and gasped. Song Yi put his shoulders on his hands and stroked his chest, but he still fell to the ground in pain and began to convulsions. Although Song Yi's technique was fast, Meng Changde still rolled his eyes in constant convulsions and panting, which was what I expected before.
Meng Changde has been immobile. I asked Song Yi what the reason was. Song Yi said, "It was caused by asthma." I nodded and said to the frightened prisoner, "It's really unfortunate that Meng Changde has died of sudden asthma. On this New Year's Day, let's press it down before reporting it, so as not to cause you to take care of it."
The prisoner should be a newcomer. He was very young and didn't know anything about the palace, so he did this matter. He was afraid of causing the crime, so he nodded straight after listening to my words. I also said, "You can't bring things to the people in prison in the palace. If this robe is seen, I'm afraid it's disgusting. You should keep it well and don't let people find it, otherwise it's a crime of taking things."
The prisoner quickly went in and took off his robe from Meng Changde. He was about to leave and came back to ask me, "But the body will not rot for such a long time, and the asthma will still be investigated after the New Year!"
I smiled and said, "It's so cold. Just find a place to refrigerate him. After the New Year, it is spring, when the oleander should bloom. People with asthma can't smell oleander. If there is no timely medicine, they will gasp and die. Looking at the little prisoner relieved, I suddenly felt pity in my heart, "Are you new here? What's your name?"
He replied, "My name is Zhou Molan."
"Zhou Molan..." I read it gently and turned around and came out of prison with Song Yi.
The snow outside has stopped, and the ground is neat. Only a pair of footprints came gracefully from afar, which was left by me and Song Yi when they came before. Returning the same way, Song Yi was silent. I looked at him and saw Qingqing spreading in his eyes: "Xiran, this deep palace has finally changed you."
My heart was shocked. Yes, I have changed. How could I not know that I have changed? But Li Shimin can't get out of these six palaces. If he doesn't help him, he will suffer.
Song Yi sighed. I also felt that today's plan was really creepy. He killed people invisibly, and the people who were killed also regarded it as a good intention and thought it was an accident to die. I was in a low mood and said, "Song Fengyu, I would like to ask you to testify in a few days."
"Is it about Chengqian Hall? Do you want me to help His Royal Highness Qin? Song Yi asked. I shook my head and said, "It's not help, it's telling the truth."
Song Yi's eyes crossed me and looked at the Sixth Palace, where peace was celebrating peace. He looked back and said, "That's natural. Tell the truth." He held my arms, and the cold palm of his hand came to me. "Oh, listen to me and don't enter the terrible court battle after this time."
I laughed helplessly. I didn't want to enter the court battle, but inadvertently sent myself in, and I didn't know if I could pull it back. I know that Song Yi is worried that I will one day become a person who will be invisibly hurt by others, but after entering the palace, I also know that my fate can no longer be controlled. In order to reassure him, I nodded and agreed. Looking at the smile in his eyes, I was a little uneasy.
There is no news from Li Shimin. It happened to be the day of Shangyuan when it was passed on. When I was ordered to enter the two halls, Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng were already in the hall, and there was no one else on both sides. I went straight into the hall and knelt down to wait for the question. Li Yuan asked, "Your Highness the King of Qin will tell you to testify and say everything you know."
"Yes." I nodded respectfully and said slowly, "I went to the East Palace a few days ago, took the princess's order to go to the prison to see Meng Changde, and sent the robe given by the princess. Unexpectedly, Meng Changde suddenly fell ill and died.
"Oh? Why don't I know about this!" Li Yuan was shocked.
I bowed my head and said, "Please forgive me. It was the maidservant who did not allow the prison service to spread, because the maidservant found a very strange thing."
Li Yuan frowned slightly and listened carefully, and I also let go of my words: "When the maidservant went, I took Song Fengyu with me to see if Meng Changde caused the cold. Later, Meng Changde died suddenly and found that he was killed by asthma, which caused asthma. The emperor thought, why did the oleander in the palace suddenly get sick before it opened?
"Do you suspect that someone killed it on purpose?" Li Yuan squinted at me and raised his tone and said seriously, "There must be evidence to say this, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable!"
"Of course, there is evidence for slaves, and the emperor also asked Song Fengyu and Zhou Molan to come." I said. Li Yuan responded and asked people to pass on the decree. After a while, Song Yi and Zhou Molan arrived at the Liangyi Hall. Li Yuan pardoned me, and I straightened up and continued to speak: "The oleander in the palace has not been opened, and Meng Changde has asthma. The slave is not talented. Please ask Song Fengyu to answer."
Song Yi bowed to Li Yuan and replied, "It's shrimp powder. I found the taste of shrimp powder on Meng Changde's robe, which made Meng Changde suddenly die of asthma."
At that time, I also smelled the smell of shrimp powder. At that time, I didn't feel it. Later, I thought it was really terrible! Li Yuan frowned and muttered, "Meng Changde hasn't attended any annual banquet yet. How can there be shrimp noodles? Didn't he take it off when he went to prison!" His eyes turned to Zhou Molan, a prisoner. Zhou Molan knelt on the ground with her legs shaking, and his eyes peeked at me. I came forward and patted him on the back and said loudly, "You tell the emperor and your highness that you will not be punished."
Zhou Molan looked at Li Yuan above and shook her voice and said, "Return to the emperor, a few days ago, Mo Zhangshi and Song Fengyu were ordered by the crown princess to visit Lord Meng, and also brought a robe for Lord Meng, and then Lord Meng died of illness."
Li Yuan looked at me with extremely sharp eyes: "Oh? What did you say? How to prove that you were sent by the crown princess? I took out what I saw for the prisoner that day from my sleeve, and it was it that I didn't have to talk too much to get in easily. Li Jiancheng next to me stared at me and looked very ugly. Although I didn't pay attention to him, I said to Li Yuan, "This jade card is proof. Meng Changde's body has been preserved. In the past few days, it has been snowing again for the New Year. If someone approaches the prison, he will definitely leave clues in the snow. The emperor can order people to check it carefully.
This jade card in my hand was deliberately taken off when the crown princess ordered me to go to prison.
Li Yuan above said solemnly, "Does this have anything to do with the memorial?"
