Chapter 113: After the war

And there are some things that the high-ranking authority commits and can be covered up, and the oppressed people do it, that is a heinous crime.
Lian Yanqiu whispered: "The minister has ordered someone to urgently lock up a group of palace people around Liu Cairen, and one of them was a personal palace lady who confessed."
Lian Yanqiu's work efficiency is extremely high, and the court lady who confessed has been taken to the Zichen Palace.
"Mother, our little lord has been wronged! Since entering the palace, the little lord has abided by the rules, is pure and courteous, and has never done anything like that. Our little lord is forced."
The little palace lady sobbed and told a frantic thing.
When it first entered winter, it coincided with the first snowfall in the capital, and the night was clear. Liu Cairen is a graceful and talented woman. On a whim, she took her personal court ladies to walk on the moon and enjoy the snow in the Meilin in the back garden.
After strolling in the woods for a while, Liu Cairen’s small stove cools down, and the little palace lady takes it back for charcoal, and she stays alone in the woods to chant poems.
The little palace lady went back to replace the charcoal fire and returned to the forest, but Liu Cairen's trace was gone. After searching for a long time, she saw the master's figure beside a dilapidated pavilion in the forest.
Liu Cairen was lying in front of the steps, his face was bruised, his clothes were torn, his skin was half exposed, and his smooth thighs were stained with blood, which made people know what was happening at a glance.
The little palace lady was horrified, and quickly returned the dying Liu Cairen to her bedroom.
Fortunately, it was getting late, the Beigong was sparsely populated, and no one was discovered all the way.
After that, Liu Cai was seriously ill, and he did not dare to explain the truth to the emperor, so he could only be treated according to the cold, and he could not get out of bed for half a month.
The days passed. Seeing this incident quietly, Liu Cairen's body gradually improved. However, just a few days ago, he suddenly started to vomit, vomiting whatever he ate, no matter what the concubine's gift, Still like porridge dishes. There are elders in Liu Cai’s family who are medical officers. They are familiar with some medical skills and know this state. They are suddenly thundered in the sky and desperate.
Waiting for the evil in the abdomen to grow bigger and bigger, the things will be uncontrollable, and the family will be bound to be affected by that time. Liu Cairen is cruel, and simply dives into suicide. In order to prevent his pregnancy from being exposed, he deliberately took advantage of the opportunity of the little eunuch's tea to leave the palace before his death, and asked him to bring his belongings home, creating the appearance of a slave-killer.
Because she was pushed into the lake and killed by a slave, the evidence is conclusive, and Hao Zuo would not examine her body carefully. In the case of suicide, the body will be examined very carefully in order to eliminate the poisoning of the servants and other reasons.
From this perspective, Liu Cairen is also cruel enough. In order to preserve his reputation and his family, he will buckle the black pot to his loyal slaves.
It's a pity that she, a deep-bowed girl, was not so meticulous after all. Yuan Luo still saw the flaws. In order to close the case, Director Zhang ordered someone to examine Liu Cairen's body in detail and found something wrong.
"According to you, Liu Cairen got pregnant this time because he was raped." Yuan Luo asked with a frown.
The little palace lady cried and said: "Please give me a lesson from the lady, the slave and maidservant did not say a word of falsehood."
"My palace doesn't even know, the chaos in this palace has reached this point."
Lian Yanqiu lowered his head: "The mother calmed down her anger."
Yuan Luo sneered: "Since ancient times, the palace has heard of the country's death, only when the thieves and power ministers messed up the harem and forced the concubine to force the concubine. I didn't expect my Dayu to have come this far."
Except for Lian Yanqiu, all the palace people knelt down, and everyone was panicked. This incident was indeed unheard of in the past.
From a political point of view, in the harem is worse than adultery. Adultery is just the sin of adulterers and women, plus the people around them at most. But the concubine in the deep palace was abused and humiliated for no reason, but it was a vicious case and the following crimes were committed.
Lian Yanqiu persuaded: "The mother calmed down her anger, this matter is too much, it is better to call in the guards of the imperial army and strictly investigate."
Yuan Luo glanced at him and knew that at this time, summoning the commander of the guards of the Forbidden Army had two meanings. One was to blame for negligence, and the second was to investigate the sinner.
The palace is heavily guarded, and it is impossible for a foreigner to sneak in and commit crimes, and the men in the palace who have this condition to commit crimes are guards except for the imperial doctor. There are always records of visits at night at the Imperial Medical Office, and it is impossible to run in casually to and defile the imperial concubine. So the culprit of this incident, almost certainly, must be among the guards.
Yuan Luo's face was deep, "Here comes Miao Zifang and Wei Xi."
The defense of the palace has always been the division of labor between Jingoi and Tianwuwei within the Forbidden Army.
Jin Wuwei is Dayu's veteran imperial army. Fifty thousand elite guards the safety of the capital.
Compared with Tianwuwei, his foundation is much shallower. When Emperor Xianning was in power, he focused on suppressing the family and promoting the unfamiliar powers. Jinwuwei was intricately intertwined, and he could not go hand in hand. He simply opened a martial arts exercise and established a new army, which is Tianwuwei. All of them were newly promoted poor students. Gu Liangyong used to be the commander of Tianwuwei before guarding the north. Today's Miao Zifang is also a leader among the rising stars.
Yuan Luo originally thought that Miao Zifang was young enough to be a third-rank general at the age of 26 or 27. After seeing Jin Wuwei commander Wei Xi, he knew what young and promising is.
Wei Xi's appearance was at most twenty or so, she was born very outstanding, with thin lips, phoenix eyes and a handsome figure, and her eyes were brilliant. Even when she was not smiling, her eyebrows naturally carried a beautiful smile. It is the image of Dayu's most sought-after family noble son.
In front of Yuan Luo, the noble concubine in power, Wei Xi was polite, but his indifferent eyes showed that he was not too respectful in his heart. After all, they are the real brother of Queen Wei, the first-born son of Prime Minister Wei, and he is very confident.
After the two arrived, Yuan Luo didn't delay any time, and ordered Yanqiu to tell the story exactly.
The two understood the whole story, and their faces turned green.
Yuan Luo looked amused at the same expressions of the two, as well as evasive words.
Almost the first time Lian Yanqiu finished speaking, the two men bowed together and said, "Niang Niang Mingjian, my Jinwuwei (Tianwuwei) army is strictly disciplined, and there is absolutely no way for this villain."
Yuan Luo put aside the tea cup and said coldly: "The palace also originally intended to believe that the guards of the imperial army are clean and self-conscious. However, if the guards are not doing evil, then it can only be that a villain has sneaked in.
The two of them turned dark again, and the charge of negligence was as bad as, or even worse, that of a lewd person in the team. Today, the villain outside the palace can sneak into the palace and the concubines. Wouldn't it be logical to assassinate the emperor tomorrow?
"My palace does not want to hear the words of meritorious deeds, but only wants to hear the truth and results. I wonder if the two generals will be able to bring this villain to justice within a few days."
There was silence in the hall.
Miao Zifang first knelt down and said: "Niang Niang Mingjian, can you ask Liu Cairen's court lady to tell you the story and details of the incident."
Several court ladies around Liu Cairen, Lian Yanqiu, had already interrogated in detail. When they were brought in at this time, Miao Zifang and Wei Xi were not welcome and asked several key questions continuously, including details such as the time and place of the incident.
Finally, Wei Xi asked: "You have been serving the master in the past few months, but you have heard her mention only a few words at the time."
Several little palace ladies fell into silence, and they all looked terrified. In fact, apart from the hapless person who served personally that night, it was the first time that the others knew about this.
Wei Xi said with a cold face: "Whoever can remember a few clues can spare her life."
The few little palace ladies originally thought that they were bound to die if they were involved in the secrets of such palaces. Hearing these words, it is like grabbing a straw, encouraging to cheer up, and trying to remember.
Yuan Luo's face was dark behind. Although she didn't want the lives of these people in the first place, Wei Xi's attitude was too rampant. The handling of these palace ladies was the internal affairs of the palace. When will it be the turn of a foreign minister to have this Right now. Wei Xi looked like it was taken for granted. To him, the few little palace ladies in front of him were just ants-like things, and they could only be killed in a single thought.
One of the little palace ladies thought for a while, and suddenly said: "The little lord once painted a portrait. It was two months ago. When I was bringing tea to the little lord, when I saw her at the desk painting, she seemed to be a strange man. "
portrait! Several people were surprised and delighted, if they had this thing, it would be easy to track down.
"Where is the portrait?"
"It has been burned by the little master. The slave and maid went in for the second time and saw the little master leaning on the side of the fire and burning things."
Wei Xi's eyebrows twitched slightly: "Then do you remember the person in the painting?"
"The slave and maid did not see clearly, only vaguely remembered that he was a young boy, very good-looking." The little palace lady trembled. It was already two months ago. Even if she saw a real person, she would have forgotten it, let alone shocked. Portrait of Hong Yi Glimpse.
Very good-looking young man!
Wei Xi narrowed his eyes.
Seeing that there would be no progress after asking, Yuan Luo said, "My palace will give you three days. After three days, I hope it will be clear."
Then ordered the two to retreat.
This kind of month-old puppy is not lethal, Yuan Luo squatted down, and immediately a smell came out. She only noticed that the puppy's hind legs and back were injured, and the injuries were serious and bloody.
Standing next to Gu Yi, his mood was a bit complicated. He recognized at a glance that this was the little black dog he had seen outside the guard post. Such a small dog, with such a severe injury, could crawl all the way. Come here.

The desire to live is so strong.
Gu Yi leaned down, regardless of the dirt, and picked up the puppy.
"Why is there a dog?" Yuan Luo asked in surprise. There are some wild cats in the palace, abandoned by concubines or court ladies, but there are absolutely no wild dogs, because wild dogs are easy to hurt people, and they are removed from the palace regularly.
"Crawled over from the guard station." Gu Yiyan briefly explained the previous incident.
"Oh, do you want to take it back and eat it?" Yuan Luo asked.
Gu Yi glanced at her with a complicated expression.
"I'm joking, a puppy with such a strong desire to survive, if eaten, would be too inhumane."
"But its injuries are quite serious, and I'm afraid it won't be able to hold it without treatment."
"I have golden sore medicine over there, but..." Gu Yi stopped talking.
Yuan Luo understood his scruples, and it was difficult to return to the guard with the "foodstuffs" so that his colleagues could not explain it. He said thoughtfully and authentically: "Send this little thing to the room first, or it will really freeze to death."
The two entered the inner hall, and Yuan Luo quickly took a semi-new mat from the seat and spread it on the side of the copper stove. Gu Yi put the puppy on it.
Gu Yi quickly left to get the medicine. Yuan Luo squatted by the copper stove, watching the little black dog curled up in a ball.
In fact, she was a bit afraid of dogs. When she was three or four years old, she was chased and bitten by a neighbor’s dog for half of the street. She didn’t escape until she threw down the sausage in her hand. Creatures like dogs have a sense of fear.
"I don't know if you grow up, will you become such an annoying dog?" Yuan Luo poked the little black dog on the mat.
The little thing whined weakly, milky milk. Its eyes widened, but their eyes were stubborn, and probably still a little wronged.
This look really resembles that kid, no wonder he sees you exactly as he did. Yuan Luo twitched the corners of her mouth and poked the puppy's head with the small branch next to her.
Humph, two mourning dogs.
Gu Yi walked in and saw Yuan Luo was "bullying" the puppy.
Yuan Luo hesitatedly dropped the small branch in his hand.
Gu Yi went and returned, not only brought back the golden sore medicine, but also an oil paper bag.
Watching Gu Yi skillfully sprinkle golden sore powder on the puppy's hind legs and wrap it in a bandage.
"Have you studied medicine before?" Yuan Luo chatted one after another.
"On the battlefield, the sword has no eyes. Sometimes after a big battle, the medical officer is too busy, and the colleagues often help each other."
Although he was still a thirteen-year-old boy, his mental and perseverance was far more mature than ordinary people, Yuan Luo thought secretly, but this idea was opened when Gu Yi took out a greased paper from his arms, revealing a few fleshy bones. At that time, it collapsed a bit.
"Wait, you don't want to feed it."
Gu Yi turned his head to look at her, with a puzzled look in his eyes.
Yuan Luo shook his head: "It's impossible for such a small dog to gnaw bones. The teeth are not fully grown, and the stomach can't digest it."
Gu Yi suddenly realized: "It's because I didn't think well." He immediately put away the flesh and bones.
"This kind of month-old puppy can at best be fed some milk cake or rice porridge. If there is dog milk, it would be fine. What about this puppy's family."
"They're all dead, I was drunk by the stew." Gu Yiyan was concise.
"Stew soup..." Yuan Luo couldn't help but fall on the fleshy bones that Gu Yi had taken out before.
Gu Yi had some black lines: "These are pig bones." No matter how frustrated he is, he won't feed him dog meat.
"I'm going to find food." Gu Yi stood up and left the hall again.
Yuan Luo watched his disappearance, turned her head and continued to look at each other with the puppy. Probably because of the tossing and cruelty before, the puppy was sluggish and drooped his eyelids.
Yuan Luo sighed, helplessly got up and poured a plate of warm water.
The puppy leaned on the edge of the plate, his pink tongue stuck out and licked the water.
After drinking two sips, Yuan Luo turned her head and looked around when she heard rapid footsteps behind her, and she froze. The cup in his hand also fell, and I was frightened.
Gu Yi quickly stepped into the side hall, carrying a giant in his hand.
It was a dog, it should be a dog, half a human tall, bright and majestic. Of course, if it hasn't been by the five flowers. In fact, the big dog's four paws were tightly trapped by the rope, tied into a knot, and Gu Yi held them upside down in his hand. Even the dog's mouth was beaten several times, and the whole dog was embarrassed.
Yuan Luo glanced at the big dog's abdomen, and it was indeed a big dog who was breastfeeding.
Didn't you say to find food? Just kidnapped a "nanny".
What a violent guy!
Gu Yi put the poor dog by the fire. The big dog hit the ground and immediately struggled violently.
Gu Yi unceremoniously leaned over to clasp its neck, and shouted in a low voice: "Be good, I'll send you back in a while."
He was so powerful that the big dog struggled twice and felt the crisis, and he dared not move again.
Gu Yi turned his head, looking for help at Yuan Luo.
Yuan Luo's mouth twitched, hesitated again and again, and moved the little black dog to the big dog with his feet.
The little black dog gurgled and drank milk, and soon he was full. Then he fell to the ground.
Yuan Luo and Gu Yi breathed a sigh of relief when they were sure that this little thing was asleep.
Gu Yi stood up and said, "Niang, the minister is in the guard to take it back..."
"No! I don't like dogs! It's too noisy."
Yuan Luo refused, categorically. She didn't want to keep a dog. She hated dogs. Moreover, dogs have a keen sense of smell. She also has a small plan to use her body skills to gain goodwill. Once she is bound by this dog, she might show her stuff.
Gu Yi's eyes were a little lost, his thick eyelashes drooped.
He whispered: "Tomorrow, the humble duty will take turns to go home and take a rest. You can take this little thing back. Can you ask your mother to take care of it for a day."
Words of the day. Yuan Luo thought for a while, and reluctantly nodded, "Then you have to pick it up on time."
Only then did Gu Yi show a smile. He bent down deeply and saluted: "The humble position is causing trouble to the empress."
After the puppy was settled, it was not convenient for Gu Yi to stay for a long time. He immediately brought up the hapless dog and left the hall.
Yuan Luo escorted him to the door, but saw a figure hurriedly running over in the distance.
"A Yi, you really came here, it's not good, something happened..." Cai Yunheng didn't finish a sentence, his eyes fell on the big dog that Gu Yi was holding, and he was stuck halfway.
"Where did you get the dog? Didn't you say you don't want to eat dog meat?"
"It's just that I encountered this dog scurrying on the road, so I caught it easily and was about to send it back to the kennel." Gu Yimian didn't change his silly words, "Yun Heng, first tell me what happened?"
