Summer wraps autumn, water keeps wind

Let's say that Liu Fu returned to Cheqiu Pavilion, and Du Pin had someone call Ping Lun to ask the master to ask questions.

Du Pin said: "Master, we should keep an eye on what the Yonghe Palace said, but we can't believe it all. The Liu family has so many connections and has always wanted to get close to our mansion. What they said probably couldn't be false, but whether there was any concealment in the middle I don't know."

Liu Fu nodded and said: "That's the reason. If you only talk about Wanzhao, I still believe her in my heart, so I should ask this matter clearly."

While the two were talking, Ping Lun came to answer.Ping Lun is a court lady, according to the ancestral system, she can't leave the palace at will, and she can't enter the mansion to serve like Du Pin, so she still stays in Cheqiu Pavilion to take care of the internal affairs.

Liu Fu said: "Gu Gu don't need to be too polite, I just have some questions to clarify."

"Master just ask."

"When you served your mother and concubine before, did you know if there was anything unusual about her before she died, and did you have anything to say?"

Ping Lun thought about it carefully and said: "The imperial doctor said that the late emperor's noble concubine had a strange disease that hurt her heart, but the empress has always been very quiet, she only took medicine every day, didn't speak or order anything, just lay down until He didn't leave any words at the end of his life. These princes all know about it."

Liu Fu frowned, and asked again: "Then why is the concubine mother like this, as if her heart is ashamed?"

"Heart like dead ashes? I don't know, but when I think about it carefully, the empress is really not like others who are sick or mourning or praying or abandoning herself. She is just served by others. No matter who comes to greet her, there is no trace of disturbance. It's a pity that the servant was only fourteen or five years old at the time. , although he is close to the palace, he is not a close friend, and the reason for this is probably only known by the old lady who married the empress."

"Where are they now?"

"After the empress died, she was no longer in the palace."

Du Pin replied: "It is reasonable to send it back to Murong's family."

Liu Fu didn't have much contact with Murong's family, his mother was born as a low-rank court lady, and his grandfather was just upright and passed away ten years ago.Now it's my aunt recruiting a family member to serve my grandmother, because there are no males, and the family is not prosperous, there are people from distant clans who also want to take advantage of the golden branch of Liufu, but they are really unusable people, so Liufu is not too close.They can only eat and drink in the local area under the name of Liufu.So Liu Fu didn't know much about the situation of Murong's family, so he had to think about writing books and go to Pingshu to ask his grandmother well, and then bring up the matter of his mother back then.

Liu Fu received a few transcribed prescriptions from the Yonghe Palace, and Wan Zhao was disturbed and asked the imperial hospital to dispense the prescriptions. His confidant imperial physician discovered it when he was researching the previous prescriptions.In fact, there is nothing strange about this prescription at first glance, it is all prescriptions for concentration, but judging from the prescriptions in the past few years, similar medicines have not been discontinued.

Danzhi Xiaoyao Pills, Bupleurum Shugan Powder, and the matching Ganmai Dazao Soup are all familiar to Liufu. I have also taken these medicines for a while, and they are all prescriptions for dispersing the mind and relieving anxiety.He also saw the later Pinellia Houpu Decoction, Tianwang Buxindan, and knew that the mother and concubine not only lost her mind, her liver stagnation turned into fire, but also her heart and kidney yin deficiency, and her internal friction was overdrawn.

Judging from these prescriptions, at least three to five years have been cured for the disease. This disease is nothing more than depression. Just worry.No one mentioned it, and even I didn't know that my mother had such a problem.Officially, it was said that my mother died of a strange illness that hurt my heart, but now it seems that it may have something to do with Yu Zheng.

If it is said that a person died because of a strange disease, it is possible to investigate, but how could Yu Zheng kill someone?This is very strange, and there must be something strange in it.

Seeing that it was the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, many lantern riddles were hung in the palace for concubines and palace people to guess, and there would be rewards for guessing right.In addition to the young masters of the various families, even the palace eunuchs who are not on duty are vying to see, you talk to each other, it's very lively.

In the palace, Wanzhao listened to the mother ordering the gift list, and the gift from Cheqiu Pavilion contained two silk cherry blossoms, as if it was a special gift to thank Wanzhao.Wan Zhao showed a smile she hadn't seen for a long time, picked up one and pinned it to her hair, and temporarily got out of the Yonghe Palace to watch the palace people guess lantern riddles.

Wan Zhao caught up with Qing Yang and came out of the crowd with a smile, as if he had just played for a while and was going somewhere else.

"Sister-in-law Ning." Qing Yang was slightly blessed, and stepped forward to speak with a smile.

"Princess Eldest is leaving now? I have not looked at you before, so you are the most popular." Wan Zhao was in a very good mood, and it was inevitable that she would tease Qingyang when she saw her.

"They're all clichés. They're the same every year. Qingyang has made a wild guess. Why don't we leave it to them?"

"I'm also here to win a lottery, even the old ones don't matter."

The two exchanged a few jokes and said goodbye to each other.Qingyang went all the way to Zichen Hall.

Besides, Bi Xin was listening to the servant report on the itinerary for the Lantern Festival in the Zichen Palace, and when he saw that Qingyang had come, he called her in to talk.

"Brother Huang, this is very warm." Qingyang smiled and went to warm his hands in front of the charcoal stove.

"Look at your wet hands, you're playing in the snow again."

"Qingyang saw that the plum blossoms were blooming very well, so he just folded two, and now his hands will be wet."

"No one can be seen on weekdays. Now that I'm here, there must be something difficult for me."

Bi Xin brought tea and drank a couple of sips, then pointed at Qingyang with a gaiwan and said with a smile.

"It's a small matter. I just beg the emperor to give me a waist card and go out of the palace to see Aoshan after the banquet."

Bi Xin shook his head and said with a smile: "Why don't you tell the queen mother about this kind of thing, no matter how bad it is, you should ask Concubine Ning."

Qing Yang said with some embarrassment: "If the mother finds out, she won't be able to leave. If she asks Sister-in-law Ning, it will be difficult for her. Qing Yang will not be a bad person."

"Then it will be difficult for me? After the mother blames it, you girl will take the blame?"

"Brother Huang is the lord of the Forbidden City. You have to make sense in everything you say and do. Even the queen mother won't go into it."

"You're getting older, so it's okay to go, but you should have said it earlier so that you can get ready for a car escort."

"Qingyang just wanted to go out quietly. It would be best if no one knew about it. If you acted like a long princess and cleaned the street, what's the fun in scaring everyone else to kneel on the ground and kowtow?"

"Then bring some of the imperial guards along with you, Xun Kai, and the big sister's baby brother Yu Hua, they will protect me and feel at ease."

Qingyang rubbed his fingers secretly, went to the edge of the fruit plate and peeled a persimmon for him, said: "The Lin family brother is strict, how can he have fun with Qingyang? Besides, Qingyang invited friends together Appreciate the lanterns, everyone takes care of each other and is not afraid."

Bi Xin looked at Qingyang and said with a smile: "I know, it's the kid named Liu who lost the Easter egg and won..."

"Won a new friend."

Bi Xin sneered and said: "What kind of friend, dare to play the eldest princess's idea, I'm afraid he will die."

"Thousands of money can't buy Princess Xiao, Qingyang is the one I am willing to play with, and besides, there are so many servants who play with him, how does the emperor know who it is?"

Bi Xin brought over the small gold spoon with dark patterns, dug a little persimmon into his mouth, swallowed it slowly, and said: "I didn't know at first, but once on a banquet day, when I had a snack for a rest, He broke off the petals of peach blossom crisps and ate them one by one, which is exactly the same as your habit. I thought it was strange at the time, so I sent someone to inquire a little bit, and it turns out that you have a lot of exchanges on weekdays."

"Brother Huang didn't make things difficult for him, and he doesn't seem to object." Qing Yang pursed his lips and smiled.

"It's fine if you like it, I don't care about it, I was just joking with you just now." Seeing that he couldn't pretend anymore, he simply said with a smile.

Qingyang tugged at his sleeves and said, "Good brother, Qingyang will bring lanterns for big brother."

Bi Xin took the robe out of Qingyang's hand, made a slightly disgusted expression and said: "You girl, you don't think it's hypocritical to say that?"

Qingyang said with a "Yeah": "On weekdays, the second elder brother calls the emperor a hundred times a good brother, and the emperor agrees with a smile. Qingyang's words are hypocritical."

"That's him joking, are you serious?"

"Second brother can joke, but Qingyang can't. Oh, Brother Huang is really fair." Qingyang pretended to be jealous.

"He's just coaxing me. I know I won't say it, because I'm afraid he'll play tricks. This is because I'm giving in to his temper, and it's not for real use." Bi Xin hastily explained.

Qing Yang pursed his lips and smiled, and said: "Second Brother cares most about Brother Huang, when did he say something to deceive Brother Huang?"

Bi Xin acquiesced in his heart, but he always felt that this little girl Qingyang was going to dig some holes for him to jump in, so he hurriedly said: "If you want to avenge him, you should go to Jingzhao Yin's mansion, what kind of Dengwen drum are you playing here?"

"Brother Huang always looks like this when he mentions the second elder brother. It seems that the second elder brother is wasting his troubles in vain."

Qing Yang said again: "This year's Lantern Festival, hundreds of families will release sky lanterns to pray for His Majesty. It was our Prince Xuan who initiated it, but he refused to tell you that's all. He pretended to be Xie's name. In fact, he gave the money. Out of the most."

"I said why my uncle's family is suddenly busy with these things. They have never been so busy."

"That's right, brother Xie has not been in the capital since the uncle of the country disappeared. The Xie family would never have thought of this. If the second brother said that this year's sky lanterns are the best to see on the towers of the palace, Qingyang would not know it was him. Arranged."

He said a little angrily: "He told you, and he didn't tell me."

"He was afraid that others would make a fuss about it. He thought that Brother Huang would go to the city tower to pray for blessings after the dinner, and he would be able to see it at that time."

Bi Xin choked up for a moment, didn't know what to say, he didn't expect Liu Fu to hide so many thoughts, and he didn't know how many such things he had done quietly in the past.

There was an indescribable warmth in his heart, and a smile was unconsciously raised at the corner of his mouth, but he kept his face and just said: "He did it as he did it, the minister prayed to the emperor, who can make a fuss about it."

Qingyang hesitated to speak, sighed, and said to himself why this big brother is so stupid, he is just like Yumu, and he is an idiot just like that Liu.

"Brother Huang doesn't know if it's true or not, but the second brother's affection for you is unique."

Bi Xin waved his hand, blinked in embarrassment and said: "You are talking nonsense, and you are still making fun of your brothers when you are so old."

Seeing this, Qingyang felt somewhat relieved, and instead said in a calm and unhurried manner: "Qingyang only said that the second elder brother's respect for you is unique, and they are all serious words."

"I don't care about the nonsense outside, but don't listen to it and look at it."

"A lot of things are not necessarily lies. The eldest brother and the second brother agree with each other, and Qingyang understands it in his heart."

Seeing that Qing Yang said this was not a joke, Bi Xin thought that even his own sister suspected of guessing the relationship between the two of them, and he didn't blame outsiders for talking about it. Salary believes that he is right and there is no need to hide anything.

Bi Xin didn't know how to refute Qingyang, so he said: "He and I are not children, so we will not be confused."

"Is this just being confused? Then Qingyang also wants someone to be confused together, if he is so confused, he can't do it."

"Yes, I miss him and miss him, but that is brotherhood! The so-called relationship between a man and a woman is not worthy of being compared at all!" Bi Xin was a little sullen.

Qingyang saw that Bi Xin was a little angry, so he said slowly: "I don't know where love starts and goes deep. When Qing Yang read this sentence yesterday, he thought, is it true that people in the world will fall in love without knowing it? But Qing Yang Yang saw that the concubines and concubines in the palace were not as good as the words of the second elder brother, so he couldn't help guessing that the words of the ancients were probably nonsense. No beauties in this world can make the emperor fall in love. It seems that only the little girl and the little man are sticking to this. Qingyang Now I only think about getting someone, knowing each other and being with me, never leaving, no matter what kind of friendship he has, it doesn't matter." Then he smiled at him and said, "Brother Huang, don't you think so?"

That's what Bi Xin thought, and wanted to answer yes, but felt that the words were ambiguous and entangled, and it was really difficult to answer, so he just said: "Whether you want to go out of the palace, just say one more thing."

Qingyang hurriedly got up to thank him, Bi Xin said again: "Let Xun Kai, Yuhua lead people to follow."

Seeing this, Qingyang couldn't do anything, so he had to be blessed again, pouted his lips, and left Zichen Hall a little bit aggrieved.
