Chapter 17 The imperial concubine is fake!
This means Lanzhu admitted it.
Ji Yutang and Xie Huaichu looked at each other and asked her at the same time: "Have you admitted to poisoning the imperial concubine?"
Lan Zhu laughed heartily: "Yes! I poisoned her! Bitch, she deserves to die! I originally wanted her to die silently, but that would be too cheap for her, wouldn't it? Hahahaha, let her carry this in her heart The dream of giving birth to a prince and ascending to heaven, and then dying before the dream comes true, is so exhilarating hahahaha.”
She laughed heartily, but in the end her voice gradually dropped and she whimpered: "Bitch, damn, she deserves it!"
"Lanzhu, calm down." Ji Yutang poured a glass of water and handed it to her. When Lanzhu took the cup, she touched Ji Yutang's hand.
In an instant, a picture came into Ji Yutang's mind. The system first prompted: [That was thirty-two years ago], and then a screen appeared.
It can be seen from the scene that this is an imperial palace. A pregnant woman is half lying on the bed and weeping silently. Although she is dressed simply, it is difficult to conceal her beautiful appearance.
System prompt: [This is Deng Guiren, the biological mother of Emperor Li Jie].
After hearing this, Ji Yutang returned to Xie Huaichu's side, and under the cover of the table, he raised his hand and put it lightly on his wrist. Xie Huaichu understood that he was going to watch a magical scene with Ji Yutang again.
Ji Yutang chose [Invite friends to watch] and the screen started playing again.
Although Xie Huaichu didn't understand why this scene started thirty-two years ago, he believed that there was a reason for it, so he continued to watch it patiently.
The scene continues: Deng Guiren cried very sadly, his eyes were red and swollen like two soaked red dates. Then a maid about twenty years old came over and put a hot handkerchief on his eyes. She kept moving her hands and muttered: "My lord, you are really, alas, let the past pass. At this point, there’s no point in crying.”
Deng Guiren was not comforted, but cried even louder: "I really didn't expect that he actually cut off his career and became a eunuch in the palace..."
"Shh!" Wan Chun, the maid, quickly signaled Deng Guiren to keep his voice down, "My lord, you are pregnant with the prince now and are about to give birth to a child. Since the mother is so precious, what are you still talking about in the past? Then Yang Ye wants to commit suicide He can't think of cutting off his future to become a eunuch. What are you doing for us? Don't waste your time for him? It's not worth the trouble to move the baby! Nowadays, there are a new group of beautiful girls in the palace, and some of them have already had titles. Your mother's family is not prominent enough. Only by winning a man can you gain a foothold in this palace. Damn it. At this time of year, we all have too much to worry about. What do we care about what Yang Ye and Li Ye do?”
Deng Guiren's cry became softer: "But, he has come to the palace after all. I, I broke my engagement with him for the sake of my family's glory."
Wan Chun breathed a sigh of relief: "Are you afraid that he intends to take revenge?"
Deng Guiren nodded.
Wan Chun showed a smile: "Don't be afraid, noble man. No matter how powerful he is outside, he is just a slave when he enters the palace. Whether he lives or dies depends on the faces of the masters in the palace. Does he want to take revenge on you? Haha. , that’s a joke. Don’t worry, I’m here.”
Deng Guiren soon understood why Wan Chun told her not to be afraid. Because Wan Chun planned Yang Ye to steal palace property, the queen ordered someone to beat him fifty times in order to frighten the palace people.
"Did you go to watch the execution? I heard that the new eunuch Yang Ye was beaten fifty times, and his whole body looked like he was fished out of bloody water." "Oh, who asked him to steal the things in the palace? ? It’s because he has a tough life, but he’s not dead yet!”
"Even if he is not dead, he is still disabled. I heard that his legs were broken."...
Deng Guiren overheard these words and was so frightened that he moved his fetus. It took him a day and a night to give birth to the fifth prince, who is now the official Li Jie.
Originally, she could be valued based on her son, but Feng Meiren, who had always been at odds with her, heard about her old relationship with Yang Ye from somewhere and resorted to tricks to arrange Yang Ye into her palace. In late spring, she had been wary of Yang Ye. Later she discovered that Yang Ye had no resentment towards Deng Guiren. He did his duties diligently and had never taken the initiative to meet Deng Guiren. She felt that Yang Ye did not enter the palace for revenge, so she persuaded Deng Guiren to He was treated like an ordinary eunuch.
But Deng Guiren couldn't do it no matter what. It was her fault that she ruined the engagement with Yang Ye. Yang Ye entered the palace for her, and was framed by Wan Chun and broke a leg. All these made her feel even more guilty.
The last straw for her was what Feng Meiren said: "Do you know why he came to the palace? Because I sent someone to tell him that you were having a hard time in the palace, and he came to the palace to help you."
From then on, Deng Guiren began to become a little abnormal. He often sat alone in silence and was in a daze, and no one was allowed to get close to him. At first, no one took him seriously, but when the fifth prince could walk, Deng Guiren stared at his legs for a long time, and suddenly started crying and laughing, going crazy.
Wan Chun felt that it was because of her own arbitrariness that she harmed Yang Ye and caused Deng Guiren to go crazy. She has always felt guilty. Not long after she left the palace and got married and gave birth to twin daughters, she still thought about atonement in late spring. She heard that the fifth prince was having a hard time. There were so many princes in the palace, all of them smart and lovable, and they all had mothers to plan for them. Only the fifth prince was hindered by his crazy mother.
Later in the spring, Wan Chun sent the twin sister Yunxiang to the palace and asked her to take care of the fifth prince as he grew up.
The scene played here, and Ji Yutang had already guessed the rest: "Lanzhu, it was your mother Yunxiang who entered the palace to serve the fifth prince, right? The deceased Concubine Shu was actually your aunt, and she replaced you Mother?”
Lan Zhu burst into tears: "Yes, my mother Yunxiang accompanied the fifth prince to survive in the cold palace, resisting all kinds of tricks in the palace for him, and guarding his transformation from an unpopular fifth prince to the master of the world. When it was time to harvest, she pretended to be my mother and became an official. The concubines of my family, all the way up to the imperial concubine! In order to keep this secret, they even sent people to assassinate my relatives, lying that they all died due to natural disasters. She took away everything from my mother, and she killed my mother! Is there anything wrong with asking her to pay for it with my life?”
This kind of inside story was something neither Xie Huaichu nor Ji Yutang expected. They looked at each other and saw helplessness in each other's eyes. It was the trick of fate and the greed of human nature that led to this ending.
"Then how did you get this poison?" Ji Yutang took out the silver needle wrapped in cowhide and placed it on the table. The black color on the silver needle made people's scalp numb.
Lanzhu wiped her tears and replied: "I didn't know what that bitch did to our family until I was twelve years old. In order to take revenge, I entered the palace. I was initially responsible for washing clothes. One time I went When sending washed clothes to the nobles in the palace, because In order to rush for time, I took a small path and accidentally broke into the abandoned garden near Leng Gong. I met an old nun. After hearing about my experience, she gave me some poison and taught me how to be invisible. I feel like killing the bitch.”
Ji Yutang grasped the key point: "So it was she who taught you to carve a piece of wood in the shape of a red butterfly?"
Lanzhu nodded: "But she passed away two years ago. I waited until she passed away before taking action, so that even if the scandal happened, she would not be implicated."
Xie Huaichu's excited fingers trembled slightly: "Lanzhu, do you know what the red butterfly shape represents?"
Lanzhu thought for a while: "The old grandma said that it was a kind of butterfly unique to her hometown. She asked me to do this, otherwise the poison would not be handed over to me. I don't know the rest."
