Concubine Yi was sitting in the room with a very ugly look on her face.
Seeing Shu Shu come in, she looked better and called her daughter-in-law to come over.
"Why are you the only one? Is Lao Shi feeling better? How comfortable are you? When did you set off? Was the journey going smoothly?"
"Replying to E Niang, Master Jiu and Uncle Ten went to see the driver... Uncle Ten is all well, and the imperial doctor has also checked it, and there is no root cause of the disease... Chu Qi set off from the paddock, and the road was uneventful. The guards who followed him , the guards are also mature people..."
Shu Shu looked respectful and answered one by one.
Concubine Yi nodded, her expression softened, and she said to Shu Shu: "You have worked hard these days, sit down and talk..."
Shu Shu just sat down.
Earlier, she felt that this mother-in-law was beautiful and caring, and she felt very close to her.
However, over the past few days, she found that her mother-in-law was still her mother-in-law, and it was best to keep her at a distance. Being too close made both of them uncomfortable.
Seeing that Yi Fei was distracted and had no intention of talking, Shu Shu thought about how to say goodbye.
Concubine Yi raised her head and glanced at the clock, and said: "It's almost noon, the Holy Driver will be back soon, Lao Jiu and the others can go over and face each other head on..."
Shu Shu hesitated for a moment, then spoke.
"I thought we could come before the Holy Emperor arrived in Shengjing, but we didn't expect to be a few days late... Eniang, look at my grandfather's side, when is the best time for Master Jiu and his daughter-in-law to go there..."
You know, this time Concubine Yi brought her two daughters-in-law out, which also meant "acknowledging relatives".
Her natal family is in Shengjing, and her mother and brothers are all here.
But right now, this is obviously not a good topic.
Shu Shu knew in her heart, but she could only bite the bullet and take the initiative to mention it.
Otherwise, it would seem that the couple was indifferent to their maternal family and disrespected Concubine Yi's natal family.
Yi Fei rubbed her temples, with a faint hint of irritation on her face.
"The holy driver has already set a time for his return journey. He will leave on the 21st. You can spare an hour or two tomorrow and the day after tomorrow to go there... You don't have to wait for your fifth brother and fifth sister-in-law. They went there after entering the city the day before yesterday. Already..."
Shu Shu obediently agreed.
At this time, I heard movement outside.
"Da da da da", Brother Jiu strode in from outside.
As soon as he entered the house, he spoke anxiously.
"Eniang, Eniang, what's going on? You're fine, why is this noble man so seriously ill?"
Yi Fei's face was tense and she scolded: "What are you doing?"
Brother Jiu frowned and said: "Isn't my son anxious? What's going on? Who are you trying to fool? Weren't you already in the guard team before? What kind of disease do you have? You haven't recovered from it after more than a month. When you reach Sheng's height, Is Jing seriously ill?"
At this point, he noticed something was wrong: "Isn't the noble man in front of you staying in the palace to recuperate? Has he been sent to Shengjing a long time ago? Why? Mr. Sanguanbao is not alive?"
"Asshole!"
Concubine Yi was so angry that she was afraid of the table: "What are you talking about? Your grandpa is fine..."
Brother Ninth talked.
"Isn't this too sudden? A good person is sick when he says he is sick. According to Fifth Brother, uncle and the others have prepared a blessed place..."
He returned to Yikun Palace from Zhaoxiang Residence when he was one year old, moved out when he was six years old, and lived there for five years.
I was still young two years ago and don’t have much memory.
When I can remember in the next few years, E Niang was already in charge of palace affairs with the other three concubines, but this aunt spent more time with her.
Yi Fei said impatiently: "If you are sick, you are sick. What else can you do for it?"
Brother Jiu was full of questions, but he honestly kept his mouth shut.
He noticed that E Niang was unhappy, and there seemed to be something hidden in it.
E Niang knows this hidden secret, and Khan Ama... should also know...
Fifth brother doesn’t know…
It seems that E Niang doesn’t want him to know either...
When the couple came out, they returned to the yard where they were placed.
Brother Jiu was a little eager and said: "I went to Guo Luoluo's house for a visit. The noble man treated me well back then. I feel uneasy if I don't ask..."
Shu Shu hurriedly said: "It's already past noon, and there are no patients visiting at this time..."
Brother Jiu then sat down and said dullly: "Is there any other reason for this? If there is nothing else, even if he died of illness, he should be buried back in the concubine's garden..."
Kangxi's imperial mausoleum has already been built.
It is next to the Xiaoling Mausoleum of Emperor Shizu.
Now there are three queens enshrined in the underground palace of the emperor's mausoleum.
In the concubine's bedroom, many concubines have been enshrined.
In addition to high-level concubines such as Concubine Wen Xi, Concubine Ping, and Concubine Hui, there are also some low-level nobles who promised...
Seeing that Brother Jiu was worried, he seemed to be very concerned about Guo Guiren.
Shu Shu felt strange: "I never heard him mention this noble man specifically in the palace before..."
Brother Jiu was startled, then lowered his head and whispered.
"My mother doesn't like me being too close to noble people..."
"What's the reason for that?"
Shu Shu guided and asked: "What did the noble man do? To make the empress worried..."
Otherwise, Concubine Yi's behavior was not that stingy and she insisted on keeping her son by her side.
Brother Jiu thought about it carefully, and Yingying Chuochuo really remembered something.
"It was like that one time, it seemed to be my birthday, and the noble man made me some clothes... When my mother saw her, she got angry and took off my clothes. I was still crying..."
He was only four or five years old at the time, but he knew it was a good thing.
I felt embarrassed in front of my aunt and eunuch, so I rolled on the floor and cried all afternoon, until my voice became hoarse from crying.
From then on, E Niang sent herself to Yongshou Palace every day.
After coming and going, I no longer care about finding the noble person.
With Lao Shi in the Yongshou Palace, the two brothers were in the same class and became friends.
His relationship developed rapidly, and he almost stayed in Yongshou Palace.
Is there anything wrong with those clothes?
Brother Jiu was confused.
But his childhood memory was vague, so he remembered this incident.
As for the style and color of the clothes, I have no idea.
In Shu Shu's head, there were several dramas of palace fighting.
But it's all speculation.
However, she still reminded Brother Jiu: "Before, when I was in the palace, I went to pay my respects to the Queen Mother every once in a while. I didn't see the noble lady for several times in a row. I heard that she was 'sick'... It was the time when I reported my illness. Just after I come back..."
Brother Jiu's face turned dark after hearing this.
On the day Shu Shu returned home, something happened in the second house, and it was found out that Aunt Liu, a big rat, was plotting to kill her master.
Grandma Liu...
Is this related to Guo Guiren? !
Brother Jiu couldn't sit still anymore and stood up and said, "I'll go over and ask your Majesty what's going on?"
Shu Shu was about to pull her away, but Brother Jiu dropped his sleeves, turned around to Shu Shu, and strode away.
Shu Shu felt helpless when she saw Brother Jiu's back.
Even if you want to find out, there is no need to rush this time.
Yifei felt unhappy, and this was not a case of pointing a finger at someone.
Shu Shu had no choice but to wait and chase after him at a trot.
"grandfather……"
Shu Shu quickly chased after her while calling for someone.
When Brother Jiu heard this, he stopped and when he saw Shu Shu coming over, he couldn't help frowning and scolded in a low voice: "You go back and stay well, so as not to prevent my mother from getting angry... Don't stop me, I must ask clearly today... …”
It was true that the matter of Aunt Liu had been weighing on his mind for too long.
This is related to his health and longevity.
He was taking medicine these days, and he was just trying to hold back his fears.
I just feel that it is useless to cry and fight, and it makes people around me worry.
So there are other gangsters?
No matter who the black hand is, Khan Ama and Er Niang should not stop him from knowing the truth.
It was he who was murdered.
Shu Shu saw his firm look, swallowed his words of dissuasion, and said softly: "I want to accompany you, don't you?"
Brother Jiu shook his head firmly.
"No! You go back and wait for me. When you come back to my wife, you insist that you don't know anything..."
After saying that, he turned around and strode away.
Shu Shu had no choice but to come back.
There was another figure at the door of the courtyard, it was Wu Fujin. ŴŴŴ.
Shu Shu saw this and took a few steps quickly.
"Fifth sister-in-law..."
Wu Fujin took her hand, looked at her carefully, then looked at her back that was getting away in the distance, and whispered: "What's going on? Are you arguing?"
The courtyards where the two of them lived temporarily were next to each other.
When Shu Shu and Brother Jiu came back, someone went to report to Wu Fujin, saying that they looked wrong and looked ugly.
Just now Brother Jiu left with a dark face again.
Shu Shu comes out to chase or something.
Wu Fujin misunderstood and kindly pointed it out.
"Even if it's a quarrel, go back to the house and talk about it. It's time for the queen to worry if it's exposed outside..."
After all, this is where the palace is located, and there are many people talking about it. I don’t know what kind of gossip to make up.
And Concubine Yi, if she knew about this, she would send someone over to ask.
Shu Shu smiled gratefully: "Thank you, sister-in-law, there was no quarrel..."
As she spoke, she hesitated.
"Our father heard that the noble man was seriously ill and was not well. He was a little anxious and insisted on asking the empress what was going on... I heard that the fifth sister-in-law and the fifth brother went to my grandfather's house. I don't know if... I saw the noble man..."
Wufujin's face became solemn when he heard this. He looked around but said nothing.
She pulled Shu Shu into her room, and after everyone around her was dismissed, she whispered: "I guess everyone is gone..."
Shu Shu was startled: "Then why didn't the Guo Luoluo family report it?"
Although the noble lady is a concubine, her rank is low, and she has to be promoted to the concubine level before the prince needs to mourn.
But this noble lady is her biological aunt, so the fifth elder brother and the ninth elder brother have to consider whether they should serve as minor meritorious deeds.
Wu Fujin frowned and said: "Our Lord is sincere. I went to visit my grandfather. I knew that the noble man was recuperating at his parents' house, so he asked to take me to visit... Grandfather's eyes were red and he said that the noble man was seriously ill and didn't like to see people... When we came out, I I found that several uncles, who were born from the same mother as the noble man, were all dressed in plain clothes..."
Shu Shu was silent.
If the death was due to a normal illness, there is no need to hide it.
What if he died of an abnormal illness?
Is that suicide?
It is a serious crime for a palace concubine to commit suicide, which will bring disaster to her parents and relatives...
*
Yi Fei.
Brother Jiu's eyes were red and veins popped out on his forehead with anger. He glared at Concubine Yi angrily and lost his usual respect and caution.
"The serious crime of murdering the prince is just forgotten like this?"
Seeing her son like this, Concubine Yi's eyes turned black.
"What else can I do if I take my life for my life? If we have to make a scene, do we want the entire Guo Luoluo family to be held accountable?"
Brother Jiu said with a cold face: "If you murder the prince, you should be held accountable by the whole family. Why don't the Guo Luoluo family pursue it?!"
Concubine Yi was furious.
"Yinzhen, those are my natal family... If I really want to be held accountable, it will bring shame on our mother and son..."
"Huh?! Now you are saying that you are from your mother's family? Before, your mother said in front of her son that the dignity of our mother and son has never been in the Guo Luoluo family, and she also told her son that he could start from the Construction Department... This is all deception. of……"
Brother Jiu was already extremely angry and felt that he had become a joke.
It turns out that I couldn’t believe what E Niang said before, she was trying to coax him.
He could accept E Niang being partial, but he couldn't accept E Niang fooling him like a fool.
At this time, he didn't want to talk about human relations, he just wanted to talk about the law.
Concubine Yi's face was very ugly.
"What did I lie to you about? The culprit is dead, that's it! That's the end!"
Brother Jiu stood up in a hurry.
"No!"
In the past, Brother Jiu would have been so confused and would not have been so resentful.
But he had taken over the Ministry of Internal Affairs for more than a month, and he knew a lot more and thought a lot more.
Guo Guiren is a low-ranking concubine who lives in Yikun Palace under the nose of Concubine Yi.
How could she hook up with Nanny Liu and plot against the prince who lived in my elder brother’s residence on her own?
This is a line.
A line that the Guo Luo family had laid in the palace.
Concubine Yi grabbed Brother Jiu's sleeve and scolded angrily: "Why didn't you hear about it? I told you, that's the end of it!"
Brother Jiu looked at her ferocious face and then at her tightly clenched sleeves, but he felt calm.
He said softly: "Mom, if it were Brother Five who was being plotted, could you stop here?"
Yi Fei was stunned and looked at Brother Jiu, speechless.
With a "squeak" sound, Brother Jiu reached out and tore off his sleeves, turned around and left.
Concubine Yi clutched the sleeves in her hands, her body trembling, tears welling up in her eyes.
Xianglan hurriedly stepped forward to support her, with a worried look on her face: "Your Majesty..."
"If it were Lao Wu, would I stop here?"
There was confusion on Concubine Yi's face.
"If it were Lao Wu, I would still stop here..."
*
Brother Jiu went away full of anger, but his heart was much calmer.
Does the empress not want to investigate, or does she not dare to investigate?
Even if the empress is partial, she is still her biological child, not someone picked up from a pile of coal.
The empress is afraid...
The only one who can make the empress fear is Khan Amma...
He did not go to the imperial court, but returned to his residence.
Shu Shu has come back.
Seeing Brother Jiu coming back, he hurriedly greeted him.
Brother Ninth was gloomy all over, no longer as cheerful and proud as usual.
Shu Shu took his hand.
His palms were clammy.
Shu Shu misunderstood and comforted in a low voice: "Master, I'm sorry..."
Brother Ninth was stunned and looked at Shu Shu: "What are you doing? It's the fifth sister-in-law... what did she say?"
Shu Shu whispered Wu Fujin’s guess.
Brother Jiu nodded.
Is this what the empress calls "a life for a life"? !
It was obviously not his fault, but in the eyes of Guo Luoluo's family, he could not be blamed for it.
Even if he regards the Guo Luoluo family as relatives, he is afraid that he will be regarded as enemies.
His mind was extremely clear, but he couldn't guess what else the Guo Luoluo family had in the palace.
He pulled Shu Shu into a room and whispered about the dispute between mother and son, as well as his own doubts.
"Why didn't you let me check it?"
"Without checking, can you hide it from Khan Amma?"
"My dear, what are you afraid of?"
