Sixtieth Dragon Scale (Nine)

Even if she lost her mother at birth, the new little princess is still living a happier life than most people in the world. She is still a bunch of flesh and she doesn’t know what sadness is. She can eat full milk every day and someone hugs her, and she can happily spit out milk bubbles.

But it is not possible for the little princess to be without mother-raising. The official family means to find a childless concubine in the harem. The little princess is recorded in her name. Originally, the best candidate was Concubine Lu, but Linglong didn't want Concubine Lu to be so happy - yes, everyone knows that if the new prince and princess lose their mother, the one who has the most chance to support them is Concubine Lu. Everyone understands this principle. Can Concubine Lu not understand?

In the past, she refused to do this, because she didn't want to raise a child that others had with the official family. At that time, she still had favor and hope. She felt that one day she might be able to get pregnant with a dragon seed. But after Linglong entered the palace, the official family would no longer come to the harem. Even if she came, she just sat down and said a few words and left quickly. How would she have a baby in the long run? And although Concubine Lu looked unbelievable, she also listened to most of the time.

With her background, the government will not let her have children.

But she didn't, didn't the little queen?

So she developed a strange sense of balance... and also had another idea. Since she could not have children, it would be the same with other people's children. The best candidate is Meipin. Now she is the only one in the harem who is pregnant. Concubine Lu secretly saw it with an experienced nanny and said that Meipin must be a prince in her belly. She was very happy and decided to take Meipin's life without thinking.

In the past, Concubine Mei was not very prominent, and Concubine Lu did not take her seriously. But now that everyone is not favored, Concubine Mei is still pregnant, which is really jealous.

She is not stupid either. If there is someone in Meipin's palace, it is extremely stupid to choose to take action during childbirth, and it will be easily found out. Concubine Lu asked her to put something in the fetal pill that Meipin takes every day. It is a good thing to nourish the fetus and will raise the fetus very vigorously and healthy. At the same time, the price is the weakness of the mother, and it will naturally be difficult to give birth during childbirth. It is not a matter of one sentence to protect the big and small at that time?

She just wanted to die with the will of Meipeng!

As soon as she thinks about how Mei Pin pretended to be lowly and was so funny about herself in the past ten years, Concubine Lu felt that it was all the cheaper she had just taken her life!

The eyeliner she placed in Meipin's palace often reported to her. After being pregnant, Meipin was extremely arrogant and laughed at many people. Among them, the one who was ridiculed the most was Concubine Lu!

But what Concubine Lu never expected was that when Concubine Mei died, she would die and just be buried directly in the Concubine's tomb. But the little queen said that the Ping'an meridians she invited during her pregnancy were all very good. How could it be that she suddenly had difficulty delivery? It was suspected that the cause of death was different, and she actually asked Ding Lan, who had become the Minister of Justice, for an autopsy!

When Lu learned the news, Concubine Lu was furious and faced Linglong in front of the official family: "Pin Mei is dead, but the queen still wants an outsider to take a mortal examination. This is to let her die with her eyes open! The queen is so cruel! People are in peace, you want her to die without a complete body!"

Ding Lan couldn't stand the little queen being criticized, so she clasped her fists at Concubine Lu: "Don't worry, I am not only good at dissection of the body, but also good at restraining my demeanor. At that time, Bao Zhuan sewed the concubine Mei tightly, which was even more beautiful than before her death."

In modern times, she was only responsible for sewing and no matter what other things, but in ancient times, many times she could only perform physical examinations. Because most people were resistant to dissection, Ding Lan specially found a burial master to learn the art. Now she felt that as long as she learned to play the suona, even if she was demoted one day and returned to the civilian body, she would be a funeral one dragon.

Concubine Lu was so disgusted by her words. She only felt that Ding Lan was not as good as a woman, and she was afraid she was not a monster wearing a woman's skin! "Bold! Concubine Mei is the concubine of the official family. How can you make her body move? This is disrespectful! This is not in accordance with the rules!"

"The rules of death can be changed, let alone dead people. There was no saying that a female official was in the past. Now, not only are there, but there are many more positions. What happened to Concubine Lu?" Linglong was not in a hurry. "When did your relationship with Concubine Mei be so good? Look at your anxious look, I don't know, I thought Concubine Mei was your real sister."

Concubine Lu suffocated for a moment and said in a slight sense: "Although I have many conflicts with Concubine Mei during her lifetime, people die like a lamp. If a concubine dies, the queen will open her stomach. If the rest of us die in the future, will the queen also do this?"

The concubines next to them all changed their faces.

Ding Lan thought that this imperial concubine was quite good at setting the rhythm, and immediately swelled the emotions of the other empresses.

"If it were other people, every month, I would have a great pulse but died suddenly, so I would not let go. Who would want to die inexplicably? It's so dangerous that Concubine Mei gave birth to a princess. If she was a prince... the imperial concubine, do you want to remember it in her name?"

Linglong's tone was calm, but the more peaceful the more ridiculed it seemed. Ding Lan applauded the queen in her heart. Although she was still a minor girl in modern times, in ancient times, she had hundreds or eighty tricks more than Ding Lan!

Concubine Lu wanted to say something else, but the official family was impatient: "If you don't want to know, just go back to your palace, don't mess around here."

Upon hearing this, Concubine Lu's face changed drastically. She did not dare to make the officials angry, so she had to retreat in a hurry, clenched her hands into fists, her eyes were like torches, and she stared at Ding Lan's every move.

I heard that Lord Ding is now a celebrity in the Three Laws. Because in her hands, no matter how big the case is, she can be solved. I don’t know how many people have returned their innocence, how many people have been cleansed up, how many evil people have been punished, and how many evil people have been famous all over the world. She is the master of the storyteller, and some people have arranged her plays. Everyone loves to talk about her. Everyone says that Lord Ding was sent by the gods to assist the official family, and has a very high prestige among the people.

If you have any grievances, look for Lord Ding. Even if you die, she will give you justice.

A woman who can make the dead speak... Could it be that she can really make Pin Mei come back from the dead?!

Concubine Lu was very panicked.

When Mei was a concubine, she naturally could not see her naked body. Linglong ordered her to introspectively reflect on Shanggong and Eunuch Mao to go in for supervision, while the others sat behind the screen and waited.

Ding Lan was not at all because the person in front of her was the imperial concubine. There were two girls beside her, one was responsible for recording and the other was responsible for handing over tools, and they were both her apprentices. Since this skill has come to ancient times, there is absolutely no waste. Ding Lan hopes to pass on it and allow more people to learn. These two girls were students she personally selected, able to endure hardships and be honest in people. She used to have the title of a famous professor at her alma mater and also brought several batches of new forensic doctors, so it is easy to teach students.

The girls... became accustomed to it as they vomited.

But the Shanggong people are different! They are also female officials in the palace, but they are incomparable to those who are in power like Ding Lan. After checking Meipin's body, Ding Lan used an extremely strange and sharp knife to open a y-shaped mouth on the chest of the corpse. They all looked pale, as delicate as Eunuch Mao, and were already holding a spittoon and vomiting loudly.

He said... Before the autopsy, why did Lord Ding ask him to prepare a few spittoons? He also gave them to vomit...

The inside was vomiting too badly, and it was smelled outside. The official frowned slightly, and Lingque's expression remained unchanged. Concubine Lu's face looked ugly than Eunuch Mao inside.

It is impossible to be discovered, it’s just a medicine. After so long, people have died. Does Ding Lan have great ability to see what a person has eaten before his lifetime?

About an hour later, Ding Lan came out from inside.

She took off her mask and gloves and reported: "The official family, Empress, after the autopsy, I can confirm that the difficulty of Empress Mei is caused by humans!"

Everyone was shocked!

Ding Lan is not humble or arrogant: "I have dissected the body of the deceased and found that the heart and lungs of the deceased are more than twice as swelling as ordinary people. This also causes the deceased to be unable to breathe force during childbirth, causing the fetus to accumulate and suffocate in the abdomen. The culprit should be the strange flower called Tianttuynia cordata. I have read this flower in the Ministry of Justice files. It is very rare and is often used to protect the fetus. However, the deceased's pulse is stable before life, and the fetus in the abdomen is also very healthy, and there is no need for Tianttuynia cordata at all. Intake of Tianttuynia cordata when the fetus is sound will only make the fetus grow bigger and will also become a threat to childbirth. The most noteworthy thing is that if Tianttuynia cordata is excessive, it will be the culprit of the heart and lung swelling."

The official family's eyebrows and eyes were full of thunder and anger.

Concubine Lu was so sad!

"I ask the official empress Xu Chen to find out the case and restore the deceased to justice!"

"allow."

A word that was lightly spit out from the official's mouth was a huge weight for Concubine Lu. She really couldn't understand how Ding Lan did it! That day, Tutty cordata was very unpopular and rare, and she had tested it. Even the doctors from Shang Medical Bureau and the imperial doctors from the Imperial Hospital could not recognize it! How could Ding Lan know it!

The case was handed over to Ding Lan, and Meipin could also be buried in the concubine's tomb. Unfortunately, the newly born little princess was fat, but she was congenital inadequate because of her mother's damage. Looking at her health, she actually had internal deficiency and had minor illnesses.

Ding Lan is extremely efficient in doing things, and Concubine Lu is not a genius criminal, so she was quickly found out. Not only that, Ding Lan followed the clues and found evidence that she had framed other concubines in the past, causing several pregnant concubines to have miscarriage!

Ding Lan felt cold in her heart. She felt that the women in this harem were too terrible. Even if it was a little bit of a small matter, they could hold a grudge for a long time. If you snatched a hairpin three years ago, she would wait ten years before killing you.

It is better to be the Ministry of Justice or the dead.

One by one, she was placed in front of Concubine Lu. Concubine Lu couldn't admit her guilt, but she didn't realize she was wrong, holding her head up like a proud swan: "I don't have children, why can they have it! I don't regret it! I don't think I was wrong!"

Seeing that she was so stubborn, the official family was not angry, but her eyes were particularly cold, so cold that even Ding Lan felt creepy.

She had seen the officials come back a lot, but in addition to seeing the concubine privately when she went to court, she could always see the officials. She only felt that this was an emperor with a very good temper and reasonable temper. Now that she saw him, she was not angry and powerful. Even the person who had received higher education from a modern society where everyone was equal, had goose bumps, and she really felt what the emperor was angry.

"You are right, is that I am wrong?"

Concubine Lu had tears in her eyes: "The official family looked at me, but they also pampered other women! Why should I give it to them? Why can't the official family be me alone? If I can't get it, then why-"

She pointed at Linglong, "Why do she want to have everything after entering the palace?! Why can't the official treat me like she does? If the official has me in his heart and can give me a child, how could I do these things? I have so much blood on my hands... Could it be that I will be better every day?!"

Oh my god!

Ding Lan was shocked. What kind of rogue logic is this? There are many concubines in the palace who have no children and no favors. Don’t they still behave in their own affairs? How could Concubine Lu say that harming others is so high-sounding? It’s not a forced official to enter the palace. It’s understandable that she wants to love, but you harm others because you want the love of the official family. It’s the fault of the official family. This logic is more important than that of modern society. She looks down on me and is just vain because I don’t have money and is unreasonable!

The official family was furious, but was speechless by Concubine Lu's words.

It's meaningless to reason with an unreasonable person.

He waved his hand and signaled to drag Concubine Lu down, stripped off the imperial concubine's clothes on her, took off her eight-tailed phoenix hairpin, demoted her to a commoner and sent her to the cold palace. In the future, she would continue to complain about the sky and the earth in the cold palace.

"The official family is ruthless...the official family is ruthless!"

Concubine Lu cried and laughed when she was dragged away, murmuring and repeating these four words.

The official's face was expressionless and there was a faint fatigue between his eyebrows. Linglong made people retreat. Ding Lan retired successfully, but it was inevitable that the official's family would be in a bad mood and would be better off.

The soft fingers covered his temples on both sides of his body and pressed them gently. The official closed his eyes, held a small hand of Linglong to send it to his lips and kissed him gently. "...Is I really a ruthless person?"

Linglong Qi said: "Is the official family still suspicious of himself? The official family is ruthless to others, but it is enough to have affection for me."

As she said that, she hugged him from behind, put her little head on his shoulder, and bit his ear: "Can the official family want to show mercy everywhere and treat everyone well? That's not, I want other women in this harem to be decorated, you can only like me."

He was domineering, arrogant and unreasonable, but the official's heart was very appropriate. He held Linglong into his arms and sighed softly: "Of course I only like you, and I will never like others anymore."

Linglong smiled satisfied.

The official's bad mood continued until his own birthday.

He was born on the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month. However, since he married Linglong, the official family not only did not expect the birthday, but he hated it. Now he doesn't even want to celebrate the year. The New Year means that he is one step closer to his formidable years.

So these days, the court officials were honest and did not dare to breathe, for fear of being taken out by the low-pressure officials. After all, who doesn’t want to have a good New Year?

Today, when it was the birthday of the official family, there was no movement in the palace. On the one hand, he was happy, as if he was deceived by himself, so he would not get old. On the other hand, he was very disappointed. He felt that he remembered Lingqing's days so much, but she didn't care about his birthday. So he handled government affairs in the imperial study that day until dark and didn't want to go to Jinfeng Palace at night. He took Eunuch Mao to report, saying that the official family was too tired tonight, so he rested in Qianlong Palace.

Eunuch Mao responded and went there with pleasure.

The official thought that this old guy has been with him for decades, so he should be clever in knowing how to fight the miserable and coax the queen over? He stayed in the imperial study for a while and waited for the Qianlong Palace, the little queen must have been waiting for him, hehehe.

As a result, after half a stick of incense, Eunuch Mao came back with a timid look on his face and replied tremblingly that the Empress had already fallen asleep...

The official was silent.

Eunuch Mao was furry all over.

After a while, the official threw the brush and said, "Then I will sleep in the imperial study tonight."

Eunuch Mao: "...this is not something to do! How can I sleep in the imperial study room be comfortable? The official family has not had dinner yet, so it's better to go back to Qianlong Palace first!"

Under the persuasion of Eunuch Mao, the official family had stood up and was bored. The Qianlong Palace was no different from the past. He had not come back for a long time and had basically taken root in the Golden Phoenix Palace with a depressed expression. He didn't notice that he was the only one who went in, but Eunuch Mao didn't keep up.

As a result, he spread his arms and waited for Eunuch Mao to come and change his clothes for a long time. No one was allowed to open his eyes. Just as he was about to get angry, a melodious sound of flute suddenly came from his ears!

The bead curtain in the inner hall was unfolding. It was pitch black inside, but suddenly it lit up. In the middle of the aperture was a girl wearing a golden dance dress facing his back.

The golden dance clothes were very little, and the exposed skin was fragrant and tender. Accompanied by the crisp sound of bells, the girl turned her head and bit a thorny flower in her mouth. Her eyes were flowing, and she was charming everywhere, full of charm.

The official family stood there and was stunned.

She was originally a great beauty, and she couldn't find a second person in this world. She was stunning in her heavy makeup on weekdays, but she never looked like tonight, wearing a dance dress, charming and agile, like a fairy who sucks people's energy, and her eyes and eyebrows are all attracted by charming love.

As the music gradually danced and approached, the flowers biting in her mouth were also sent to the arms of the official family. She only heard her singing the song like nature. The official family was completely obsessed with it, and she forgot everything she did. Only the sentence she sang, "I wish you all the same old age and will never let my tenderness down" lingered in her ears, and it lasted for a long time, and it kept coming.

He felt that he fell in love with his birthday from then on.

I wish I could be born every day.
To be continued...
