Chapter 54: (one) (1/2)
Huo Wei almost had an accident, so the emperor and queen naturally wanted to find out the matter.
They thought for the first time that Lu Jingyun was instigated by Xie Xuan. Who knew that the people sent to Xie's house had a look. Xie Xuan was already dead, and his death was disgraceful.
The guard found the woman who had fooled around with Xie Xuan at the time, a woman in a flower house, and said that early that morning, someone sent her a message asking her to wait for Lu Jingyun to leave and steal into Xie's house, and gave the money in advance.
There is no reason to have money but not make money? So she dressed up and waited. As soon as Lu Jingyun left, she immediately went in to find Xie Xuan.
The woman said that Xie Xuan rushed over when she saw her, and couldn't wait to pull her to bed. Later, she found that something was wrong, and she couldn't get rid of it. There were several places on her body that were pinched by Xie Xuan. The pain made her cry and scream. It was not until Xie Xuan died that she hurried back.
She was frightened, afraid of something on the stall, she kept hiding in the room and did not dare to see people, but was still found. The emperor suspected that she had given Xie Xuan medicine, but the woman had never been in contact with any medicine, nor had she contacted Xie Xuan before, and there was no reason to harm him.
Another point is that the medicine in Xie Xuan is very similar to the medicine in Huo Wei's cup of fruit wine after comparison with the imperial physician, and it is likely to be the same.
This is Lu Jingyun's greatest suspicion.
Lu Jingyun wanted to see Huo Wei embarrassed and slipped away. When the emperor and the queen were angry, there were so many people on the scene that it would take a long time to find her. And when she returned from the banquet, Xie Xuan was dead, she could show her merits to the elder prince, change her name again with a large sum of silver, and walk as far as she can leave the capital.
If you find her later, there will be no chance to find her again.
Lu Jingyun's plan was perfect, and the timing was just right. Even for a long time, no one would think of Xie Xuan. After all, the wind was a scandal, and it must have been buried. Others are paying attention to the scandals of the princess. How can anyone pay attention to Xie Xuan?
But she didn't expect that all of this would fall short at the last minute. How did it happen that there was a gust of wind when Huo Wei was about to drink fruit wine? How could someone who knew her see her clearly? Why is everything so coincidental?
As soon as she was caught, the emperor immediately checked Xie Xuan's side, and immediately found that Xie Xuan died strangely, and found that the medicine she gave Huo Wei was the same as Xie Xuan's medicine, she couldn't clean it out how to wash it.
This time, Lu Jingyun had no chance to struggle anymore, because the eldest prince knew that she had moved the emperor's jewel in his palm and immediately killed her!
Lu Jingyun was strangled to death with a rope. Before he died, he couldn't even say a last word. His eyes widened and he was full of unwillingness. Before she died, scenes from the previous life flashed in her mind. Compared with this life, she was happier in her previous life.
Although her husband didn't like her, and her mother-in-law disliked her, they never tried to rub her against her. Although her natal family neglected her, she still gave her a generous dowry. She has those, and as long as she has a heart, she can be happy for a lifetime.
She has always hated Lu Qiaoshan for stealing everything from her, but she snatched the marriage contract from the Hou Mansion when she came back in her life, but ended up like this in the end. She suddenly understood that what she was wrong was not marrying the wrong person, but her narrow personality and shortsightedness.
She remembered that Fang Qingze was not a beloved in her previous life. Lu Qiaoshan married and just got pregnant, Lu Rui climbed onto Fang Qingze's bed, and Fang Qingze accepted it. If she were to be angry, she would find a way to kill Lu Rui, but Lu Qiaoshan didn't care at all, she still smiled every day, rest assured.
Fortunately, Lu Qiaoshan gave birth to the eldest grandson of the Hou Mansion in her first child. Madam Hou’s attitude towards her was much better, but when she was pregnant with her second child, Madam Hou gave Fang Qingze the maid beside her as a concubine.
If she is, she will definitely hate Madam Hou, find a chance to retaliate back, suppress that concubine, let her be disgusted by Fang Qingze, and provoke Fang Qingze's relationship with Madam Hou. But Lu Qiaoshan still smiled and raised her baby with peace of mind.
Lu Qiaoshan gave birth to two sons. Fang Qingze already had four concubines. One of them was a maid who had been serving him for many years. Not to mention he was a childhood sweetheart, but also had very different affections. But Lu Qiaoshan didn't care.
She could see that Lu Qiaoshan was really happy, really happy. That kind of happiness hurt her eyes and her heart, so over time, she only remembered that Lu Qiaoshan grabbed the happiness that belonged to her, but forgot that the so-called ”happiness” was just because of Lu Qiaoshan's good personality.
If she could be like Lu Qiaoshan, how easy and happy she would be to live? However, it was impossible for her to do it again. She had had so many opportunities to turn her head back, but she had fallen into a demon and had always been harmful. Now that she had reached the end of her life, it was useless for her to regret it.
She felt ashamed in front of Lu Qiaoshan. She was deeply jealous of Lu Qiaoshan. It was her obsession to beat Lu Qiaoshan, and it all ended here. She once felt desperate, but now she knows that it was nothing at all at that time, and death is truly desperate.
Lu Jingyun died silently in the prison, not squinting.
Lou Ye found the eldest prince the next day.
In fact, the eldest prince only met Lu Qiaoshan on a whim and told Lu Qiaoshan to kill Xie Xuan. What happened later was the contact between his subordinates and Lu Qiaoshan. Now that it was found that Lu Qiaoshan's medicine was obtained from him, he wanted to say that he didn't deal with Huo Wei and couldn't make it clear.
The emperor didn't need him to say anything clearly. If he intends to deal with Huo Wei, he still uses that method, then he is not only poor in character, but also unworthy!
If he never wanted to deal with Huo Wei, but was only used by Lu Jingyun, then such a person is not worthy of being an emperor.
The emperor gave up the eldest prince completely, and couldn't afford to teach him any more. Even if he is the emperor, he can do nothing about many things. The eldest prince and the third princes have their mother clan, and the whole clan is interfering with them and affecting their temperament, so he will never come back.
The emperor began to pay attention to the descendants of the royal clan, but there was no news. He planned to watch it for a while and talk about it later.
So not long after the eldest prince lifted the ban, and not long after he took the errand, he was slapped by the emperor and became a idle person. The eldest prince was a little annoyed, but he was not anxious and afraid, because he was the only prince living in the world now. In his opinion, his succession to the throne was a certainty, and there was no change.
He was a little drifting, and he was not as cautious as before, otherwise Lou Ye would not be found so quickly this time. The emperor refused to let him do anything, he happened to be relaxed and relaxed, and he did not worry about the emperor's dissatisfaction with him.
The civil and military people of the Manchu dynasty didn't know the emperor's plan, and only whispered in his heart that the prince was too unwilling to live up to, and then planned to let the emperor accept the harem.
Everyone with girls of school age moved their minds, and their hearts floated again. After all, who would have thought that the emperor didn't care if the heir was of his own blood?
No matter what they were, Huo Wei remained unmoved, and was still busy every day, helping more official family members to promote their business. She is not too tired to help them, because she has koi luck, as long as she is willing to help, they will do everything smoothly. And the money earned will be led by her every month, donating a sum of charity.
Not only did she donate to Fushantang, she also sent people to explore two villages with more people, built schools in those two villages, and invited scholars to teach. This is her temptation to build a school. If she wants to enroll girls in school in the future, she must erode the industry step by step, boil frogs in warm water, and let people lower their defenses against her.
Sure enough, as she thought, because she is a princess, it is harmless to everyone. And because she has always been doing good deeds, she pityed that the young children were not taught, and it was no different from the previous good deeds, so she did not attract anyone's special attention, but felt that she was leading people to do good deeds again.
Huo Wei has her own plan and will not do good without leaving her name. The two villages were not very far from the capital, and the school began to be built, so she asked to go and see it in person.
The queen worried: ”The road there is uneven, and food and drink are not good. What are you going to do? Is the capital not enough for you to toss?”
Huo Wei said: ”That's the person that Erchen wants to help after all. Erchen doesn't want to just talk casually. If he doesn't understand the actual situation, he won't know if one day he is deceived by the people below.”
This sentence touched the emperor. He sat in the court and listened to the affairs of the world every day. In fact, he sometimes worried that the officials below lied to him. And this is inevitable, it is impossible for all the courtiers to tell the truth to him. Therefore, he needs to spend a lot of effort to balance the court and make all forces check and balance each other, so that he can sit firmly on the Diaoyutai.
Although what Huo Wei has done is just a small thing, she has this heart, which really makes him very gratified. He sighed with a smile: ”It's a good thing that Weier has success. It may be that she has experienced too much outside before doing things so carefully. Go ahead, bring enough guards and protect yourself.”
Huo Wei immediately laughed, ”I would like to thank my father, my father can rest assured, I will not let you down!”
Huo Wei quickly packed up and left. The princess's frame was protected by two teams of guards, which was very eye-catching when she left the city.
The princess's visit in person was a big deal for the two villages, the biggest thing they could see in their entire lives. The guards went to inform in advance that they had already put the whole village in order to tidy up the village, and everyone was very excited to wait for the princess to arrive.
Huo Wei had the desire to fight for the throne, and the people's mood was very different. Moreover, she was originally a heavenly daughter and her Royal Highness. She treated them all as her own people, and she felt sorry for them when she saw that they were not doing well. At the same time, she has strengthened her determination to strengthen the country. She wants them to live and work in peace and contentment, and make the Great Qin country prosperous and strong!
Huo Wei lived in the village chief’s house and ate the food cooked by the village chief’s house and food delivered by the enthusiastic villagers. She didn't dislike the crude food. The guards had tested poison, so she ate with them, without reluctance.
This made the agitated villagers even more like her. They felt that this princess was really nice and kind, and she was obviously a superior fairy, but she was willing to walk into the mortal world to eat and make peace with them. It was really good.
Huo Wei will also go to see the construction of the school in person. The people who built the house are all from the capital, and the people under Huo Wei are looking for an expert in building the house, and the building is very good. And Huo Wei was watching, they had to perform well, and the more aggressive they were.
Huo Wei didn't know how to build a house, but she found that the house was really strong, and it was many times stronger than the houses in the whole village. However, the materials used are also more expensive, some of which are involved in her research. She thinks she may be able to improve it to make the cost of building a house lower in the future, so that many people can live in beautiful and stable brick houses. .
However, she is still a bit difficult to do this at present, and she needs time. She also didn't want to expose her plan too soon, so she put this idea down first.
She was playing with the same group of children that day, and suddenly she heard noisy not far away, and then the guards around her became very nervous and began to guard her to leave.
Huo Wei looked at the noisy place and saw the village chief and a few men who were afraid to retreat, while the dirty person opposite was crying and begging. She wondered: ”What's the matter? Who is that person? Why does the village chief seem to be scared and want to drive people? He doesn't look like a thief.”
The guard hurriedly said: ”Grin, the man is in a village far away. There is a plague in their village. I heard that the Yamen ordered the closure of the village. He ran out for help before the closure of the village.”
”Plague?” Not only Huo Wei was shocked, all the others who had just heard of it were shocked and scared, no wonder the village chief had such an attitude.
The guard said anxiously: ”Princess, it is not suitable to stay here for a long time. Please get on the carriage and leave for the palace immediately.”
Huo Wei quickly recalled the plot in the book. There was no such thing in the book. Maybe it had nothing to do with the heroine, and it didn't happen in the capital, so she didn't write it.
Huo Wei hesitated for a while, and saw that the person heard the movement here, with surprises in his eyes instantly, and immediately wanted to rush over.
The village chief was terrified, and hurriedly stopped him with a stick. The man knelt to the ground with a plop and shouted, ”Princess help! Princess help! Most of the people in our village are sick, but some people are all right.” The sick are all sent to the caves in the mountains. We really still have people who can live. Please help the princess and save those good people!”
The guard eagerly persuaded Huo Wei to leave, Huo Wei raised his hand, motioned him to silence, and quickly thought about it. She goes there, she can't be okay, but what about the others? What can she really do?
When she thought about it, the person was already covered with blood, and his face gradually showed despair.
This kind of despair is sad and piercing. Huo Wei met his gaze, made a decision at that moment, and walked to that person.
”princess!”
Huo Wei waved her hand, ”My palace has decided, so I don't need to persuade. This palace will go with him to see the situation. You guys, go back to Beijing quickly and ask a doctor with good medical skills to study the plague solution. The palace token will mobilize all the shops under the name of the palace to raise grain and herbs to the village as quickly as possible.”
She said something that convinced the ancients, ”I happened to encounter this in this palace today, and it was God that let this palace take care of this matter. If this palace ignores it, how can I be a princess of the Great Qin Dynasty?”
”Princess, but you are a daughter of a daughter, you can't take risks like this!”
”This is an order!” Huo Wei scanned their faces one by one, telling them of her firm determination. Of course she knew that she was not sure that she could not be involved in the risk, but she was at least sure that she would be safe. And when she went to that village, those who had the plague still had a chance of life.
For so long, everything she does has gone smoothly. She is betting that she can help them if she goes. Even if she can't, she can calm people's hearts, prevent the government from disposing of them all, and save one by one.
The man did not expect that the princess would be willing to go back to the village with him. After the shock, he was overjoyed. Then, she wept bitterly, and kept kowtow in thanks, shouting: ”Princess Thousand years!”
Of course the guards had to follow her to protect her. No matter what she said, they couldn't let her act alone. They only divided two people back to Beijing to do what she ordered. These two people chose the fastest pace, and the others also hoped that they could quickly report to the Emperor Ming to stop the princess.
But what Huo Wei wants to do can always be done smoothly. When she reached the outskirts of Liujiazhuang, she met the county magistrate in charge. When the county magistrate saw the princess in person, he was immediately frightened, and found that she had been found by the villagers, thinking that her little girl was ignorant, and asked him not to close the village, and was frightened in a cold sweat.
Unexpectedly, Huo Wei didn't ask him to remove the manpower, but asked him to mobilize more manpower to surround Liujiazhuang strictly, including the back mountain, and no animals were allowed to go out.
The villager who came to Huo Wei was called Liu Ergou, and he was startled when he heard, ”Princess! You, didn't you come to help us?”
Huo Wei solemnly said: ”This palace wants to help you, but it can't harm others. The plague does not come on immediately after infection. If someone brings the plague out and harms the innocent, it is a crime. As for the village, there is no infection. People of the plague, this palace has its own plan, this palace will go in with you.”
”Princess! Never! Think twice, princess!” The county magistrate, guards and others knelt to the ground.
Huo Wei didn't say much this time, but just ordered in a cold voice that none of the guards were allowed to enter, and they all guarded strictly outside the village.
When she became majestic, she was very deterrent. No matter how the guards persuaded, she finally rode into the village with Liu Ergou on a horse and blocked the entrance herself.
