Shen Dingzhu's delicate pink face was filled with joy: "There is a reply so soon, it must be from my parents."
After she accepted it, she picked up her skirt and went back to her room to take a look.
As expected, there were several letters, one from my parents, one from my daughter Chengcheng, and the last one was from Su Wenhua.
Shen Dingzhu first read the letter from his family.
After her parents heard that she had reconciled with the emperor and had a new little prince, they were finally relieved.
This letter contains all kinds of advice from Shen Dingzhu’s father, just to tell her to be more sensible. She is already a mother of three children, and she should stop being willful.
The end of the letter was actually written by the ghost doctor Jiang Manzi.
It turned out that Su Wenhua told the ghost doctor about Shen Dingzhu's repeated nosebleeds and asked him to help think about the cause.
The ghost doctor said in the letter that it was most likely that the blood clot that caused the amnesia had leaked out. However, he looked through medical books and found that there was another possibility. Shen Dingzhu's body had not recovered well, and her pregnancy aggravated the pain in her mind. Blood clots form.
These are all possible, so the ghost doctor's suggestion is to let Shen Dingzhu return to Beijing as soon as possible so that he can take a pulse.
After Shen Dingzhu saw it, his mood seemed to make a slight "dong" sound, which was a little heavy.
Isn't she aggravated? After all, she had remembered it all.
Shen Dingzhu suppressed her uneasiness and planned to wait for Xiao Langyan to come back and discuss it with him.
She then opened the letter sent by her daughter Xiao Xincheng. The little guy had just passed seven years old and could already write with elegant and neat handwriting, quite like the style of the Shen family.
In the letter, in addition to longing, I still miss you. At the end, I did not forget to say: "Bring your brother back to me quickly, but when will my mother give me a brother?"
Shen Dingzhu couldn't help laughing. Seeing this, the dark cloud in his heart also dissipated a lot.
She was the last to open the letter from Su Wenhua, expecting that she was reporting that she was safe. Unexpectedly, after just a few glances, the smile slowly froze at the corner of her mouth.
Jing Yi happened to pass by holding a bundle of chopped firewood and glanced into the house.
The door was wide open, allowing the sunlight to flow in. The beauty was sitting at the table, holding the letter and looking at it with concentration.
However, Shen Dingzhu's plump and bright face showed a faint cold whiteness, her dark eyebrows were knitted into sharp points, and her beautiful black eyes read the letter in her hand several times.
Jing Yi didn't know if it was his misunderstanding. Why did Shen Dingzhu look unhappy?
Shen Dingzhu couldn't believe whether what Su Wenhua said was true.
Because, Su Wenhua told her in the letter that Huang Yunmeng was not dead!
Instead, he was escorted to the capital. After Su Wenhua returned to the capital, he saw Huang Yunmeng being taken into a mansion. The people guarding the door looked like they were from the palace.
Su Wenhua thought she had made a mistake, so she thought of a way and squatted outside the mansion for a few days. However, she saw the guards responsible for escorting her back to Beijing negotiate with the guards at the door and then entered the mansion.
In the letter, Su Wenhua confirmed that Huang Yunmeng was still alive, and she believed that Xiao Langyan deliberately spared her life.
[Cousin, it turns out that the decapitation I saw that day was also fake. The hair was messy and bloody. I was afraid so I didn’t take a few more glances. If I had known better, I would have confirmed it clearly at that time. Besides my brother-in-law, who else could save her life? ? What do you want to do by faking your own death and sending him back to the capital? 】
The clouds in Shen Dingzhu's heart gathered again.
[Could it be that I was late that day and Huang Yunmeng took advantage of my brother-in-law? It really doesn’t look like it! I really don’t want to believe that it was my brother-in-law who was reluctant to take her life! Cousin, when you see this letter from me, you'd better ask your brother-in-law. 】
Jing Yi saw that Shen Dingzhu's face was getting more and more ugly, so he put away the firewood and walked to the door.
He knocked on the door: "What's wrong with you?"
Such a slight noise made Shen Dingzhu startled, and he suddenly raised his beautiful eyes, but his face was a little pale.
Jing Yi frowned: "Did the letter contain bad news?"
Shen Dingzhu came back to her senses and quickly folded the letter.
She took a deep breath, calmed down, and then said: "Jing Yi, do you know where the emperor has imprisoned Lei Hong?"
"In the dungeon of the government in the city."
After Jing Yi said this, Shen Dingzhu stood up and said, "Come with me."
She tidied up a little and was about to go out. Jing Yi didn't ask why, she said she wanted to and he stayed with her.
However, as soon as she walked out of the yard, she saw Xiucui coming over with a bowl of medicinal soup.
"Mother, where are you going?"
"I'm going out for a trip," Shen Dingzhu glanced at Xiucui, her red lips pursed as if she was careless, "You stay here and help the wet nurse take care of her."
Xiucui was surprised: "Going out? But before the emperor left, he asked your Majesty to..."
"I know," Shen Dingzhu nodded, "Just go to the shop. Jing Yi will stay with me. He will be back soon."
Xiucui hesitated for a moment. She thought that Mr. Shi's shop was only two streets away, very close, so she nodded.
"Okay, then the queen must come back as soon as possible."
The guard at the door saw that she was leaving and quickly followed. Shen Dingzhu led a group of people symbolically, and the rest asked them to stay here to protect his son's safety.
After that, she asked Jing Yi to drive the carriage to the government office.
The magistrate in the government office was a new one. Because Mr. Shi was imprisoned, a group of people had already been replaced. Now he saw Shen Dingzhu coming. Before she could say anything, the guards beside her showed up. A golden token.
The county magistrate was frightened and said: "I don't know that the noble man is coming, and I am not expecting you from afar. May I ask what your orders are?"
He didn't know who Shen Dingzhu was, but the prefect above told him that he couldn't afford to offend these noble people from the capital.
Shen Dingzhu said coldly: "Where is Lei Hongguan? I want to interrogate him."
The county magistrate did not dare to ask why, so he quickly led the way and led Shen Dingzhu there.
at the same time.
Xiao Langyan had already arrived at the meeting place arranged by Wei Wan and them outside the city east.
The ventriloquist hid behind the sedan, and the curtain was opened. A team of people came to deliver medicine in front, and they could only see Wei Wan sitting in the sedan, surrounded by tight guards.
She wore a veil on her face, and those people did not suspect it. After all, they had already heard that Wei Wan had not been here for so many days because his face was cut and disfigured by a young lady from the Huang family.
However, under the veil, Wei Wan's lips were sealed with mushy white mud, and her tongue had been cut, so she could only make a moaning sound.
Xiao Langyan was riding a horse and standing in the woods not far away with his men, controlling the situation with absolute height.
His thin eyes were deep, looking at the guards beside Wei Wan, who went to negotiate with the group of people.
They checked Wei Wan's identity and looked at her appearance and confirmed that she was correct. However, they still had a question: "Why isn't Jing Yi here?"
The guard replied: "It's inconvenient for Jing Yi to come. Where is the medicine?"
Those people looked at each other and were about to speak, but unexpectedly, Wei Wan struggled to open her mouth, and the wound tore open. She used the remaining tongue to make a hysterical sound——
"run!"
Xiao Langyan's thin eyes darkened, and the killing light suddenly appeared. He took the lead in bending his bow and setting an arrow.
There was a sharp "whoosh" sound, and it shot through Wei Wan's head.
The team of men and horses reacted and immediately looked in the direction where Xiao Langyan was hiding. They waved their swords and said angrily: "There is an ambush! Can't give out the medicinal herbs!"
The two gangs fought, and the sound of killing was loud.
On the other side, Shen Dingzhu has entered the dungeon.
The dungeon is responsible for holding serious prisoners, and Lei Hong is locked up in the innermost part of the corridor.
The smell of dampness and decay, mixed with the strong smell of blood, kept coming.
Shen Dingzhu frowned, and when she walked to the cell, she saw that Lei Hong was already a bloody man.
He lay motionless on the ground.
"Is he dead?"
The magistrate accompanied him and said hurriedly: "Absolutely not. Your Excellency just said that you want to teach him a lesson, but you want to keep his life, so he only looks scary, but in fact he is still alive."
After saying that, he slapped the railing hard: "Hey! I'm calling you, get up and reply to the noble man's words!"
The man lying on the ground slowly raised his head after a while. His face was bruised and purple, and his left eye was swollen. Fortunately, Shen Dingzhu recognized it, and it was indeed Lei Hong.
"Empress..." His voice was hoarse and weak, but looking at Shen Dingzhu, he couldn't help crying excitedly, "Please ask the emperor again for me. It was the emperor who ordered me to leave temporarily that night, and I acted as ordered. What's wrong..."
