Chapter 287 Washed

 The next day, King Qin went to the Chengguo Palace to visit Mrs. Qin.

After receiving the letter, Duke Chengguo's mansion opened the middle door, and Mrs. Qin led the whole family to greet him outside the gate.

 King Qin's car stopped at the gate of Duke Chengguo's Mansion. When King Qin saw the silver-haired Mrs. Qin, his eyes filled with mist. He looked up and calmed himself down before getting out of the car.

Mrs. Qin saw King Qin getting out of the car and brought her family forward to salute him.

The King of Qin hurriedly stepped forward and helped Mrs. Qin up, "Why did grandma come out to welcome her? Just wait for Ziqin in Qingfang Hall."

Mrs. Qin smiled and said, "How can that be done? If that's the case, wouldn't it be a violation of etiquette?"

Mrs. Qin was telling the truth. After hearing this, King Qin felt very uncomfortable and worried about being seen out, so he smiled and greeted Mr. Qin.

After exchanging a few words of greetings, King Qin supported Mrs. Qin and walked into the palace.

A group of people entered the main hall of the outer courtyard and made courtesies. King Qin couldn't resist his grandmother, so he had to sit down at the top.

 After King Qin sat down, he felt extremely uncomfortable. For him, the Chengguo Palace was his home.

 In this family, there are elders who love him and care for him, and there are also brothers and sisters who respect and protect him.

He returned to Duke Chengguo's Mansion as if he were returning to his own home. Everything he was familiar with here made him feel extremely at ease.

All of this seems to have changed because his identity has changed.

He hoped to be like before, when he returned home, he would go to Qingfang Hall to pay his respects, stay in front of his grandmother, listen to his grandmother's greetings to him, his mother's nagging about him, and his aunt's role as peacemaker in the middle. …

Mrs. Qin saw King Qin's disappointment and said with relief: "Your identity has changed, but we are still a family. Except for more etiquette, nothing else has changed."

  King Qin met Mrs. Qin’s concerned eyes, and the disappointment in his heart became lighter.

King Qin nodded, "Thank you, grandma. Ziqin understands."

Mrs. Qian took over the words, "It's not that nothing has changed. Knowing that Ziqin is the prince, my mother said that God has been kind to our family. My mother recited sutras in the Buddhist hall for a whole day and thanked the Bodhisattva for his blessing. The whole family, Everyone is full of joy.”

 The King of Qin looked at Mrs. Ye, leaned forward and said, "Ziqin thanks his mother...aunt. Thanks to my aunt for saving me, otherwise, Ziqin doesn't know where he would be?"

 After a few days of digestion, Mrs. Ye has accepted the facts before her, and she can face Ziqin calmly.

Mrs. Ye bowed to King Qin and said, "This is our blessing.

That day, I was supposed to enter through the north gate, but the north gate was closed and no one was allowed in or out, so I changed my route to the east gate, but I didn’t know that the prince happened to be at the east gate.

Wei Ruo said that her mother-in-law told them before she died that Wei Ruo and Wei Xin should take the prince to the north to find me, and they would pay the prince to me.

At that time, the palace was in chaos. In order to avoid people, the two of them hid in the palace from Donghua Gate, and then escaped all the way east out of the East Gate.

The day before yesterday I went to Xunying to talk about this matter, and it happened that Shi Shangshu was in the house. Shi Shangshu said that the general guarding the north gate at that time was named Lou, and he was from the Queen Mother's side. The Queen Mother sealed the north gate to prevent the soldiers from the Gyeonggi camp from entering the city. .

By some coincidence, that year I went to the border to visit the general. The old woman knew that I was going to the border, so she asked Lu Dingcai to go to the border before me and deliver Aunt Song to the general. When I arrived at the border, Aunt Song had already arrived. A month and a half.

 Three days after I arrived, I found out that Aunt Song had also gone to the border.

 In a fit of anger, I took Grandma Yao and the others back.

Because I was in a bad mood, I didn't rush back along the way. I walked and rested on the road. It took me more than half a year to return to the capital. When I entered the city, I picked up the prince at the Tutu Temple and raised the prince in this way. around. "

 The people present were sighing again, feeling that there was only destiny in the world.

The King of Qin looked at Mrs. Ye. He felt a little sad for her, and he was also a little annoyed with Lu Dingkun. Since he married his aunt, he should treat her well.

 King Qin turned to look at Aunt Feng who was beside Mrs. Qin, and said, "Mammy, take this person down first. I have something to tell my grandmother."

 Mother Feng bent her knees and responded: "Okay, I understand."

  King Qin looked at Ye Mingjin, "Sister Jin, please step back as well."

Even though Ye Mingjin wanted to stay and listen, she was always afraid of Ziqin, so she stood up and walked out obediently.

 When the people left, Mrs. Qin looked at King Qin and asked, "Your Majesty, what's the matter?"

Mrs. Ye also asked: "What's the matter?"

King Qin asked: "Auntie, when you picked me up, were there any blood stains on my body?"

 Mrs. Ye nodded, "Yes, yes."

King Qin straightened his back and asked: "What about the quilt that wrapped me in? Did my aunt keep it or throw it away?"

Mrs. Ye thought for a while and said, "You have to ask Aunt Yao. She handled these matters. Why did the prince think of asking this?"

 The King of Qin said: "Let Aunt Yao come in and ask."

Mrs. Qian got up and went out to call Aunt Yao.

 Old Madam Qin looked at King Qin without knowing why. Asked: "Your Majesty, that quilt is very important?"

King Qin nodded, and then said: "Xiaoyu suspected that the queen mother was poisoned by the same poison as her aunt.

If a person is poisoned by that poison, even if he gets pregnant by chance, he will die due to continual bleeding during childbirth.

That day I heard Shi Niang say that when my mother gave birth to me, she was bleeding all the time. After she gave birth to me, my mother died.

 The blood stains on the quilt must have been left by the queen. Xiaoyu wanted to see through the blood stains whether the queen was poisoned. "

After hearing this, Mrs. Qin and Mrs. Ye looked at each other and their expressions became solemn.

When Aunt Yao came in, Mrs. Ye asked, "What did you do with the quilt that carried the prince?"

Mama Yao bent her knees and replied: "Go back to Madam, the old slave has put the bag away."

King Qin did not throw it away when he heard it. He was very happy and asked: "Mommy, where did you put the quilt, the British government's palace or the Chengguo Duke's palace?"

Aunt Yao bent her knees and said, "Go back to your Majesty. The old slave will put it away and put it in the winter coat cabinet in the British lady's room."

Mrs. Qin ordered: "Then you go to the British Duke's Palace quickly and get the quilt. When people from the British Duke's Palace ask, just say it's cold and come back to get some thick clothes for your wife."

Mama Yao bent her knees and responded. "My slave understands."

Mrs. Ye said: "You take Zi Su with you so that we can take care of each other."

 Mother Yao nodded, "Thank you, madam, I understand."

 After Grandma Yao left, everyone in the room looked solemn.

Mrs. Qin asked: "My lord, have you told the emperor about this?"

King Qin shook his head, "Not yet. I want to wait until the matter is confirmed before I tell my father."

Mrs. Qin said: "If the empress and Sister Shan are poisoned by the same poison, what role does the British government play in the palace coup?"

King Qin shook his head, "I don't know yet. Take your time, and the truth will be revealed one day. The emperor asked me to take a post in the Ministry of Punishment, which will make it much easier to investigate the case."

"Old madam, Princess Yanran has come over to give my aunt acupuncture." A servant reported outside the door.

Mrs. Qin said with a smile on her face: "Okay..."

Before Mrs. Qin finished speaking, King Qin hurriedly stood up and said, "I'll go and greet you."

Mrs. Qin nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, go quickly."

King Qin nodded and walked out.

Mrs. Qian and Mrs. Ye wanted to follow them out, but Mrs. Qin stopped them: "Jiu'er, Sister Shan, you two just sit still and let the prince go to greet you."

After Mrs. Qian understood, she smiled and replied: "Okay, my wife understands."

 Gu Huayu's carriage entered the mansion and stopped at the screen wall. When he got off the car, he saw King Qin coming towards him with a smile.

Gu Huayu greeted King Qin Fushen. King Qin returned the gift and led Gu Huayu to the main room.

Gu Huayu asked: "How is it? Have you asked?"

 King Qin nodded, "I asked, the bag and quilt were not lost, and Aunt Yao kept them. Aunt Yao who was with my aunt went to the British Duke's Mansion to get them."

 “That’s great.” Gu Huayu was very excited when she heard the good news.

When King Qin saw that Gu Huayu was happy, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth and said: "This morning, Shi Niang said that tomorrow there will be a banquet at the prince's palace. Please invite Duke Chengguo, Duke Ying, King Qi, King Chen, King Xian and others. When we get together at the house, we can get to know each other as relatives."

Gu Huayu is not good at dealing with people, but she knows this etiquette. He nodded and said: "Shi Niang is thoughtful, let her arrange it."

 King Qin looked at Gu Huayu and asked politely: "Then you can come over to the house early tomorrow to greet me."

Gu Huayu stopped, looked up at King Qin, and asked with her fingers: "Me?"

King Qin nodded, "You are the hostess, shouldn't you come over to greet the female family members?"

Gu Huayu waved her hands repeatedly and said: "I'll forget it. If the name is not justified, what's wrong with me? Mrs. Ye will take care of the female dependents, and Mrs. Qian and others can help you organize it."

King Qin looked at Gu Huayu and asked: "You really don't want to go? Father, just give me two days. The day after tomorrow, I have to go to the morning court, and then go to the Ministry of Punishment to work. I will be busy from now on. We have met. It’s all difficult.”

Gu Huayu still shook her head and said resolutely: "I won't go!"

Seeing her resolute look, King Qin compromised and said, "Okay, you're free. How about you come and find me? During the day, I was at the Xingbu Yamen. When I got off the Yamen, I was at the palace."

Gu Huayu said: "You have just arrived at the Ministry of Justice and are busy with official duties. In the days since you returned to Beijing, I have not spent time with my grandmother and the others.

 Furthermore, Xiaoshuang and Qingzhu's wedding is coming soon. I am both Xiaoshuang's cousin and Qingzhu's master. After worrying about the man's wedding, I also have to worry about the woman's wedding. I'm busy. "

After hearing what Gu Huayu said, King Qin looked disappointed and asked, "Xiaoyu, when can you worry about my affairs?"

Gu Huayu looked up at King Qin and joked: "What? Are you jealous?"

King Qin nodded honestly, "Yes, I'm jealous! I'm not as important as Qingzhu in your heart."

 Gu Huayu was speechless for a moment, "Oh, Your Majesty, you are not that good, are you competing with Qingzhu? You..."

King Qin grumbled, "My life is not as good as Qingzhu's!"

Gu Huayu was speechless, "Your Majesty, I am the master of Qingzhu."

King Qin said unconvinced: "In my heart, you are also my master."

Gu Huayu was shocked by King Qin's unexpected words of love, and looked around in fright.

 Fortunately, Lonicera and Laishun followed them from a distance and did not get closer.

“Okay, I’ll come see you then. I have to ask Su Er to open a Mingyue Pavilion near the Xingbu Yamen.”

King Qin said with raised eyebrows: "No, Ruxuan has already bought the shop opposite Jingbo Tea House and is planning to open a guest house there."

Gu Huayu smiled and said, "Oh, you moved quickly enough. Jingbo Teahouse was opened by Hua Ruijun. This person should not be underestimated. Please change the name of your teahouse and don't call it Qingkeju."

Gu Huayu smiled and then said seriously.

King Qin thought about it and nodded in agreement, "Okay, I'll explain it to Ruxuan later."

The two of them were talking and walking, and when they came to the entrance of the main hall, the maid bowed her knees and said, "How do you do, Your Majesty? How do you do, Princess."

 Ye Mingjin came over to greet Gu Huayu, and then let Gu Huayu into the house.

After greeting each other, Gu Huayu went to the side room to perform acupuncture on Mrs. Ye.

 The King of Qin told Mrs. Qin and Mrs. Qian about the banquet at his house.

Mrs. Qin happily agreed, "Okay, let's go there early tomorrow."

Have just finished the acupuncture here and returned to the main hall. It happened that Grandma Yao and Zi Su came back with the baggage.

“Your Majesty, this is the quilt that was used to wrap you up back then.”

  King Qin looked at the neatly stacked blankets and felt a bad feeling in his heart.

Gu Huayu took the quilt first and shook it off. Where was there a trace of blood on the clean and new quilt?

Gu Huayu asked: "Has grandma washed this little quilt?"

Aunt Yao nodded and said: "Back to the princess, the old slave wanted to leave it as a thought for the prince, so he washed it and put it away. If it is not washed, it will become moldy and the hair will grow, and it will be impossible to keep it."

Gu Huayu stroked her forehead. She was only thinking about finding evidence, and she forgot about her common sense of life.

Gu Huayu turned to look at King Qin and said angrily: "I forgot about this."

King Qin comforted him and said, "It's okay. Let's think of other ways. Thank you, Aunt Yao."

Grandma Yao said in panic: "The prince has killed the old slave. How can the old slave deserve the word of thanks from the prince?"

Mrs. Ye said: "Mother Yao, please step aside first."

Mama Yao bowed her knees and bowed, then withdrew.

Mrs. Qin asked: "Your Majesty, what should we do next?"

When King Qin was about to speak, Gu Huayu spoke first: "The clues here are broken. Go back and ask Shi Niang, maybe you can find new clues. Don't worry, old lady, the legal network is wide open, and the truth will always be revealed." day.”

Mrs. Qin nodded, "I've been waiting for it for decades. I won't be in a hurry for a while, but I won't be in a hurry."

Gu Huayu finished her work and stood up to leave.

Seeing that Gu Huayu was about to leave, King Qin stood up and said goodbye: "Grandma, I'm going back first. You guys can come here early tomorrow."

Mrs. Qin nodded, got up and sent the two of them off.

As Gu Huayu walked towards her carriage, she was stopped by King Qin, "Xiaoyu, the investigation is important. You take my carriage and follow me to the palace to ask Shi Niang."

Gu Huayu asked: "What about my car?"

King Qin told Qing Yu: "You take Lonicera back first and Xiaoyu follow me to the palace. I will send someone to send Xiaoyu back later."

Qingyu looked at Gu Huayu and waited for Gu Huayu's instructions.

The King of Qin spoke about this in public, what could she do? He could only nod in agreement, "Business matters are important. I will follow the prince's arrangement. You guys will go back first. I will go with the prince to the palace to find Shi Niang and ask some questions."

 Chingyu responded with his hand.
