Chapter 5: Suspicion

Grandma Han held the child in her hand, quickly used scissors to break the umbilical cord, wiped the blood all over her body, wrapped it in a swaddle, handed it to Xianyue to hold it, and then cleaned up another one.

The three midwife cleaned up Shunyu, one of them buried her cloak, and the other fed her bird's nest porridge.

Although Shunyu was exhausted, she still wanted to see the child. Xianyue hugged one, and Madam Tao hugged one to her. Because she was only seven months old, she was as young as a cat. She also hummed like a cat. Her eyes were closed, her skin was red, and her fetal hair was shiny but loose. What do you think...

"It's a bit ugly!" Shunyu smiled with tears in his eyes.

"Tsk! You're ugly with such a beautiful baby?" Xianyue curled her lips: "When Lai Fu was just born, I wanted to die, but now I'm more and more happy with her."

Everyone pursed their lips and smiled.

Tian Rong and others couldn't stand it when they were outside, so they opened the curtains and came in. Qin Xing gave Grandma Han ten taels of silver, the others were five taels of silver, and each of them had a pair of brocade pieces of makeup. This was a reward that only the wealthy families in the capital would give. They were overjoyed and said a lot of auspicious words. Cuimei took her to Mingtang for a meal.

Tian Rong carefully measured the two babies and said with a smile: "I looked the same when I first gave birth to Jiuer." He asked again which one was born in front.

Xianyue replied to him: "First it was Yuanbao, and as soon as he came out, my sister couldn't wait."

Qin Xing smiled and said, "What a tormenting young master. I couldn't bear to cry when I heard him crying."

Some people said bad things about him... Yuanbao was squirming and stretched his legs with his mouth and cried in tears.

"But you're hungry?" Qin Xing scratched his head and asked, "Have you found the wet nurse?"

"You still need to bring some more?" Xianyue glanced at him and smiled at Shunyu, "It's a coincidence that the fourth wife of my neighbor's fifth sister-in-law, who was 25 years old, had just given birth, and her milk was rising. I agreed with me a few days ago that I had asked for a baby here yesterday. I came to the ear room early in the morning to wait, and added one from Grandma Han, which is enough."

Shunyu was satisfied with the hearing, and inadvertently glanced at Chen Mian was also there, holding the scriptures in his hand, his eyes were blue, and I knew that I had been with him all night, and my heart was very soft and warm.

Xianyue and Madam Tao took the child to look for the wet nurse. Shunyu asked the crowd to go back to the room to rest, leaving Qian Bingyi alone to say a few words to him.

There was no one around, and she asked, "Mr. Chen was buried in the fire in Zhaozhu... Do you have any hearing?"

Qian Bingyi frowned and held his beard: "You have just given birth to a child, and your bones are weak, so you can rest as long as you want. Don't think too much about it."

"How can you not think too much! Mr. Chen is my husband and the father of the children." Shunyu smiled: "He is not sure about his life and death, and I live like a year, so I want to ask the sir to help me!"

Qian Bingyi was stunned and said frankly: "I only know the art of Qihuang. It is feasible to regulate your body and bones for you. I really can't help you."

"The person next to Mr. Bulao is to regulate my body bones." Shunyu looked at him word by word: "Regulate my body and appearance when I first met back to Nanshan."

Without waiting for him to ask, he continued, "I want to go back to Dali Temple to find out the truth! Moreover, King Hao is now working on people, and he can also help him."

Qian Bingyi was in a state of ups and downs at this time. He never thought that such a secret matter was not hidden by Master Chen...

He wanted to say something, but he saw that she had already fallen asleep with her eyes closed.

....................................

Wuying Palace, it is noon.

The thick clouds outside the window were pressing against the top, as dark as midnight, no wind blew, the branches were still moving, and the summer cicadas were bitterly hen.

The hall was very quiet, and only the sound of the page turning of the emperor Zhu Yu reviewing the memorial was heard. Two palace maids fanned slowly. On the left side of the imperial case, the chief minister of the seal was set up by Wei Zhizhang, the old man wearing the pen, Feng Shuanglin, the chief assistant of the cabinet, Xu Bingyong, and Qin Yanzhao, the Minister of Works, all came for a long time. The ambergris in the golden crane incense burner had slowly burned to the end.

"Gemai Xu, take a look." Zhu Yu looked sinister, and he held a stack of memorials in both hands and handed them to Xu Bingyong respectfully.

Xu Bingyong's waist was still straight, but his forehead was sweating, his body was covered with official clothes, the weather was dull, and he was deliberately neglected for a while, and it was already very hot.

Although he was above ten thousand people, he had to be inferior to one person. He could not help but act recklessly. He lowered his eyes and took a memorial. Seeing that it was the censor's advice, he showed disdain and read it in a hurry.

The father-in-law followed him and brought him to Qin Yanzhao again. He took the careful look from beginning to end.

Zhu Yu's eyes were dim and he said slowly after a while: "Is the fire in Zhaozhuo Ge Lao done by Mr. Xu?"

Xu Bingyong was secretly shocked, wondering why the emperor thought of him like this. After all, he had been through the court for a long time and had never experienced any storms. He was still calm and said: "The emperor mistakenly blamed the old minister. He heard that Zhaozhuo had caught fire and dozens of casualties. He was shocked and unstoppable. It was an extraordinary period of vassal reduction. The people could pacify the world. How could this disaster happen? I immediately wrote a memorial, asking the three departments to investigate the truth and punish those who arson severely. Only the Beizhenfu Department refused to obey and decided to issue an order to the emperor. Therefore, the stalemate has not been resolved until now."

He knelt on the ground with his robe on his back, and continued in a deep voice: "I don't know who is framed by the emperor's ears, and I suspect that the old minister has come. I ask for a thorough investigation of the case and prove my innocence."

A sneer appeared on Zhu Yu's lips, but his tone was gentle: "Gei Xu, please get up quickly, the hall is very hot, you are old and don't have to be too polite."

The two father-in-law stepped forward to help Xu Bingyong up.

Zhu Yu waited for him to stand still and continued, "Georg Xu is so suspicious. I heard that you had been to Zhaozhu on the day of the fire, so I asked casually... Could it be that I can't even ask?"

Xu Bingyong was stunned for a moment and immediately calmed down: "Of course I asked... the old minister went to Zhaozhu that day because..."

Zhu Yu waved his hand and interrupted him: "Gei Xu, don't explain, I can trust you." He turned his head and looked out the window: "The rainstorm is coming, you can retreat!"

Everyone had to bow and leave. Xu Bingyong walked in front of him with a furious heart and a resentful look on his face. He stepped out of the palace gate, and the electric shocked the sky, thunder hit the eaves, and the entire palace was shrouded in the wind and rain.

Qin Yanzhao walked closer to him and whispered: "Ge Lao Xu is really too hasty."

Xu Bingyong suddenly glared at him and laughed angrily: "You also believe that the fire in Zhaozhuo was what I did? It's so sad. Although I have ambitions, I have not been confused yet!"

Qin Yanzhao frowned and said silent for a moment: "I'm afraid I'm hitting the golden cicada's plan to escape. If Shen Zetang is rescued, he's afraid he's going to break the big plan."

Xu Bingyong disagreed: "Even if he is rescued, it is too late!"

Qin Yanzhao's heart was tight and he was about to ask, but suddenly he heard the sharp voice of the eunuch who was with him. He was saying something to Eunuch Feng, the chief eunuch Feng. The wind was heavy and the rain was thick, and he didn't hear it clearly. He saw Eunuch Feng walking into the hall with him.

The old lady Wei Zhi came to greet Xu Bingyong. Xu Bingyong did not look at him, but snorted coldly: "Now the emperor has a strong sense of using Eunuch Feng. Eunuch Wei, please give up on your own."

Wei Zhi's face turned red, his head lowered and his eyes looked ferocious, and he flashed away.
