The Favoured Medical Princess: 698 Exposed
www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of Sheng Chong's Daughter-in-law: The Medical Concubine!
Faced with these repeated questions, Meng Yiliang was completely confused. He never imagined that things would turn out like this.
He admitted that he did have selfish motives, but, but, this was clearly An Yihou's fault! If Marquis An Yi hadn't stepped in, forcibly taken away Nanliang's government affairs, and sowed discord in front of the Crown Prince, how could he have thought of such a foolish move!
Moreover, he really didn't know that Heragul would give such a vicious medicine to his war horse.
As the saying goes, those who don’t know are not guilty, right?
Meng Yiliang, who was lying on the execution bench, struggled to raise his head. After receiving those fifty military sticks, even breathing was in pain.
He first glared at Guan Yubai hatefully, and then looked at Xiao Yi, crying with tears in his eyes: "Master, I know that I am wrong! But I definitely did not collude with my predecessor." The Southern Liang royal family, the last general followed the old Southern King in his expeditions to the north and south to pacify Southern Xinjiang. How could he collude with the former Southern Liang royal family and do something detrimental to Southern Xinjiang?! Everything the last general did was all for you, Crown Prince Lord!"
Xiao Yi looked at him coldly, as if he were looking at a clown.
"Sir, you are still young." Meng Yiliang looked well-intentioned and endured the pain as he continued, "The thing that the old prince was most worried about back then was you, the prince. Before he passed away, he specially recruited The general will go and ask the general to take good care of you in the future. The general will take this trick because he sees that you have been deceived by some treacherous villains and fails to persuade him. The general knows that he is wrong, please forgive me for the sake of the old prince. Please forgive me this time."
Meng Yiliang was admitting his mistake, but every word sounded profound.
Well, he was entrusted by the old prince to take care of the prince on his deathbed. The prince should respect him a bit, otherwise it would be disrespecting his grandfather and being unfilial.
Well, he worked hard, but unfortunately his loyal words went against his ears, and he couldn't persuade the prince who insisted on going his own way, so he took the last step.
Well, he is the one left by the old prince. As a grandson, the prince should care about his grandfather's face.
Even if he made a mistake, it did not cause any substantial consequences. The prince has been beaten and reprimanded, and his old face has been completely disgraced. If he continues to be aggressive, the prince will On the contrary, you will get a reputation of being unsympathetic and unkind.
The captain also came to his senses at this moment, and quickly stepped forward, clasping his fists and saying: "I would like to ask the prince, for the sake of General Meng's military exploits in the past, to spare General Meng!" As he said, He knelt down on one knee, as if Xiao Yi would not be able to kneel down until he agreed.
This seemed to be a signal. The soldiers under Meng Yiliang who came to ask for orders all knelt down on one knee, clasped their hands and shouted in unison: "I beg the prince to spare General Meng!"
They also saw that what the prince said was true. General Meng was indeed involved in poisoning the war horses and tried to blame An Yihou. However, these people were all brought out by General Meng. Once General Meng falls, how can the prince reuse them? Their future is over.
Now, we must keep General Meng!
They believe that as long as they ask, in order to stabilize the morale of the army and gain a good reputation, the prince will definitely expose all this!
Thinking of this, they pleaded in unison again, and these voices merged together and rumbled.
"Huh."
Xiao Yi sneered, seeming to be laughing at their overestimation.
He casually glanced at the people kneeling on the ground, then fell on Meng Yiliang, and said: "General Meng, don't make it sound so nice. In the end, it's just your selfishness. For your sake Selfishly, we disregarded the lives of our fifty thousand soldiers in southern Xinjiang. How can this be offset by just saying 'wrong'?" He paused, straightened his expression, and said in a cold voice, "People often say 'Kill the chicken to scare the monkey', but I believe that since it is a monkey problem, then kill the monkey! General Meng, do you think so?"
Meng Yi felt a chill in her conscience. Did the prince really want to kill him to death?
Isn’t he afraid that his reputation will be tarnished? !
"Those who collaborate with the enemy and treason will not be forgiven!"
These seven words are sonorous and powerful, like drum beats, falling on everyone's heart one after another, making people feel stunned.
Meng Yiliang took a breath of air, and there were only two words lingering in his mind——
It’s over!
His vision went dark and he fainted completely.
The sun was shining brightly above our heads. Under the sun, no one dared to make the slightest sound. Even the few soldiers who were kneeling on the ground continued to kneel and did not dare to get up.
Only the sound of falling military sticks kept coming and going.
The sun is still shining brightly, and it is not at all clouded by this incident.
At this time, in the Yuexi Hall, located in the first hall of the inner palace, the sunlight fell through the window on the bronze mirror of the dressing table in the inner room, refracting several haloes of light.
Beside the bronze mirror, there was something empty. There was originally a jade sculpture of a unicorn giving birth to a son. However, after Xiao Yi learned that Gu’s family was also involved in the matter of the sick horse, he immediately ordered people to take away the jade sculpture and destroy it. .
Although these things brought into the palace by outsiders in the name of gifts have long been carefully checked and checked repeatedly, and there are no problems, Xiao Yi is still worried. According to him, if you are not afraid of thieves when they come in, you are afraid of thieves. Thinking about it.
This makes Nangong Yue somewhat regretful. She quite likes that jade carving. When she has nothing to do, she always takes it in her hand and plays with it. Now she always feels like something is missing.
Quie'er on the side followed Nangong Yue's gaze, thinking silently: Does the imperial concubine like the "Qilin sending her son off" jade sculpture so much? Or maybe she go get a picture of "Qilin giving birth to a son" for the Crown Princess?
She was just thinking about telling some jokes to make Nangong Yue laugh when she heard a rude sound of lifting the curtain, and Xiao Yi strode in...
Xiao Yi changed into a robe, but there was no trace of the slightest chill in his body.
Nangong Yue stood up to greet her with a smile on her face, "Ayi!"
"I'm back." Xiao Yi showed a bright smile, was one step ahead of her, and came to her in the blink of an eye, pressing her back.
He skillfully squeezed into the high-backed chair where Nangong Yue sat and held her in his arms.
Seeing this, Que'er resigned wisely.
Nangong Yue leaned in Xiao Yi's arms, her nose twitching slightly. He was exuding a faint moisture, mixed with the fragrance of soap locust, and it smelled very good. He must have just bathed and changed clothes.
She vaguely guessed what must have happened today and cast a questioning look at Xiao Yi.
Xiao Yi nodded. His stinky girl had a good nose. He was worried that the smell of blood would cause her discomfort, so he simply changed his clothes before returning to Yuexi Palace.
Xiao Yi gave a general talk about what happened in Sun Yao Hall and Xu Yang Gate today...
Nangong Yue couldn't help but sigh: "Ayi, in other words, General Meng was completely used by the Gu Na family?"
"Meng Yiliang thinks he is scheming and plays tricks on others," Xiao Yi curled his lips sarcastically and said, "In fact, he is just a chess piece played by Helagu of the ancient family."
When he was beaten with an eighty-year army stick, Meng Yiliang finally couldn't bear it any longer and told all the causes and consequences of colluding with Heragu, and emphasized that he really didn't know that the medicine would have such vicious consequences.
But so what? Even if he cried miserably in front of her, Xiao Yi would not have the slightest sympathy.
The same goes for Nangong Yue. If Xiao Yi and Guan Yubai hadn't been alert, Meng Yiliang's move would have ultimately harmed the 50,000-strong army in southern Xinjiang. With these 50,000 lives, how can the saying "He who doesn't know is not guilty" be justified? A write-off?
Just...
Nangong Yue narrowed her eyes thoughtfully, leaned lazily in Xiao Yi's arms, and said: "Ayi, General Meng wants to squeeze out the retired officials and get the opportunity to rule Nanliang, but Are the people of the Guna family just trying to provide horses for the Southern Xinjiang Army?"
As she spoke, she tilted her head, always feeling that this was a bit weird.
The Guna family dared to drug their war horses. Once exposed, it would be a serious crime that would affect the entire family. What's more, using such a vicious medicine was obviously not for the purpose of suppressing the Dele family, let alone just gold and silver.
"My stinky girl is really smart as ice and snow." Xiao Yi praised enthusiastically, while playing with Nangong Yue's white and tender little hands, rubbing them for a while, intertwining her fingers for a while, and continued to say, "You You guessed it right, Gu Na's family is naturally not just for the small profit from selling the horses, they are for 'a rare commodity to live in'." Xiao Yi said meaningfully.
Of course, Nangong Yue is familiar with the story of rare things and living in them, and she immediately understood it.
The Guna family used such medicine with the obvious purpose of destroying the Southern Xinjiang Army, and it was obvious who would benefit from doing so.
She raised her chin, looked at Xiao Yi, and said, "The remnants of Nanliang."
That’s not it! Xiao Yi kissed her **** the corner of the mouth as a sign of praise, and then said: "Businessmen value profits, but Heragu of the Guna family not only wants profits, but also wants power."
To put it bluntly, Heragu hoped to help the former Nanliang royal family regain its kingdom and gain the status and wealth of a highly respected minister.
Xiao Yi curled his lips sarcastically, and continued: "He has put in a lot of effort. After the fall of Nanliang, he not only took care of and hid the former grandson Modler, but also gave him to the remnants of Nanliang one after another. An army of one million taels of silver was used to finance his restoration. The plan for the 'horse plague' was proposed by Heragu. Even the virus of the horse plague was caused by Heragu's business trip to Changdi four or five years ago. He got it from time to time, and he has carefully stored it over the years, and only took it out now."
Heragu was just offering small favors and acting like he was asking for help, but Meng Yiliang, an idiot, actually took the bait.
If Helagu succeeds, the consequences will be disastrous!
Fortunately, they had seen this kind of poison with their own eyes, and the poison in the hands of Helagu was obviously much weaker than the one used by the Changdi people in the hunting palace. Otherwise, in just a few days, three thousand horses I'm afraid not even one of the war horses can be saved.
"Thank you to my Crown Princess for her foresight." Xiao Yi complimented Nangong Yue with a smile, showing a flattering look, making Nangong Yue chuckle.
Xiao Yi's tone sounded like a joke, but it came from the heart.
A terminal disease, such as smallpox and tuberculosis, is notorious because of its fatality. Once there is a right medicine, the so-called terminal disease will be no different from headache, wind and cold.
With the patent medicine developed by Nangong Yue before, why should this mere horse plague be afraid!
Nangong Yue deliberately raised her chin and said jokingly: "Then how does the prince plan to reward merits?"
When Xiao Yi heard this, his peach blossom eyes sparkled, and he didn't know what "good" idea he had thought of. Nangong Yue's heart skipped a beat, and she almost regretted it.
Sure enough, the next moment I heard Xiao Yi excitedly say: "What does the Crown Princess want? Jewelry, real estate in a farm shop, or..." He paused deliberately and winked mischievously. The normal male voice suddenly became coquettish, "Or, is it possible for Yi'er to 'serve' the Crown Princess well?"
Serve? According to her, it was just a matter of tormenting her. The corner of Nangong Yue's mouth suddenly stiffened. She glanced at the empty dressing table from the corner of her eyes. She thought of something and had an idea. She hurriedly said: "Ayi, isn't Nanliang prolific in jade? Let me see the Qilin sent by Li Shaluo. The carving is very good. The carving skill is different from that of our Dayu. It also looks quite unique. Why don't you give me some jade carvings, Ayi? I can wear them myself and display them, or I can give them as gifts. Several aunts and sisters in the house..."
Xiao Yi responded with half interest and blinked, meaning, are you sure you don’t want Yi’er to serve you?
Nangong Yue coughed dryly, tried to divert his attention, and asked: "Ayi, Gu Na's family... I mean, what will happen to that girl Lisaluo?" As she said that, she sighed a little. , somewhat sighing, "When I saw Lisa Luo in the jade market that day, I didn't realize that she was approaching us for such a purpose. Even though her words and behavior that day were a little aggressive, she was in full tone. Passionate, I thought she was only trying to revitalize the family business..."
In this world, women are not easy. Originally, Nangong Yue had some appreciation for Li Shaluo, but she didn't expect that she would look away.
Xiao Yi curled his lips sarcastically and said: "On the surface, the Guna family claims that women in the family may also have the opportunity to be the head of the family, but deep down they still prefer to choose a man as the heir. The eldest son of the Guna family has actually been decided by default. The next head of the family is here. The position of the head of the family is just a carrot hanging in front of the donkey."
In the final analysis, the Guna family just wanted the donkey to work hard for the carrot that he would never eat. How could they let the donkey know such a big secret?
Xiao Yi said nonchalantly: "Whether she is sincere or fake, it doesn't matter. The evidence of what Heragu committed is conclusive, and the Guna family will not be able to get away with it this time."
Since Helagu dared to collude with the remnants of Nanliang, he must have known what would happen today. Since he, the head of the family, was willing to risk the lives of his entire family, why should he be polite to him? !
Furthermore, this can also be used as a warning to the other major families in Nanliang, lest they be treated so leniently that they don't know who is in charge of Nanliang now!
A cold light flashed in Xiao Yi's eyes, but when he looked at Nangong Yue, it turned into a bright smile, "A Yue, don't talk about these disappointing things? How are you doing today? Our family Is Nannan still obedient?"
As he spoke, his left hand gently covered Nangong Yue's still flat abdomen, and his voice became softer, as if he was afraid of shocking the child in Nangong Yue's belly.
Nangong Yue is very used to it. Ever since she confirmed her pregnancy, Xiao Yi has been chatting with her unborn child every day.
Although it is a routine inquiry every day, the person who asks is not annoyed, and the person who answers is not annoyed either. Every time, there is an indescribable expectation. This is their treasure.
The young couple looked at each other and smiled, and accidentally showed a silly smile.
Nangong Yue put her right hand on Xiao Yi's big palm and said with a smile: "Ayi, my daughter is very good."
This child is really well-behaved. So far, she has never bothered her mother-in-law.
She only needs to be responsible for getting enough sleep every day, eating well, and caring for her baby.
Xiao Yi smiled even brighter, unable to hide the joy on her brows, kissed her cheek tenderly, and said without humility: "Ah Yue, our daughter is so good! From now on, I will teach her how to bow and horse. Riding and shooting, you teach her music, chess, calligraphy and painting. When our daughter grows up, she can not only help me with military affairs, but also help you take care of the middle school..."
A Yue can spend more time with herself. Xiao Yi thought happily.
The corners of Nangong Yue's eyes twitched. She was only two months pregnant and would not give birth for more than half a year. He had already found a job for his unborn daughter. One moment he said that he wanted her to be a queen, and the next moment he asked her to be a queen. Let her be in charge of the middle class, and she must also be able to do both literary and martial arts, and possess eighteen martial arts skills... What if their daughter is scared away... Bah, bah! How come I was led astray by this guy again!
The two of them chatted silly things, and time flew by in this faint warmth.
Outside Xuyang Gate, the dozens of soldiers who came to ask for help were still kneeling there, from day to night... until they could no longer hold on and fell to the ground, and then they were dragged away.
As for Meng Yiliang, after receiving a hundred military sticks, he was dragged to death row while still breathing, waiting for Xiao Yi's military order.
And there was a huge commotion in Wuli City...
How could the fact that Guna's house was confiscated by the Southern Xinjiang Army be hidden from other people's eyes? In less than half a day, the news spread throughout Wuli City.
For a time, the whole city was shaking and people were in panic.
It is obviously a sunny day, but in the eyes of the people in the city, it seems to be covered with a thick layer of dark clouds. Even the air seems to be filled with a depressing and dull atmosphere, with a chilling air.
Everyone in Wuli City is speculating on the meaning of Prince Zhennan’s move.
Since the Southern Xinjiang Army broke through the city, they did not massacre the city, did not burn, kill, loot, and did not commit adultery. This was obviously a well-disciplined army. After the people of Wuli City were on tenterhooks for a while, they continued to live their lives as usual. ……
Now that almost half a year has passed, the prince of Zhennan suddenly attacked the Gu Na family, the largest family in Nanliang, which made many Nanliang families have to worry about whether this is just the beginning, and whether the next step will be... Is it their turn?
Amidst this uneasy speculation, the air in Wuli City became heavier. The whole city was silent, but no one dared to shout and cause trouble. Imagine that even the tens of thousands of troops from the previous dynasty were defeated. Under the iron heel of the Southern Xinjiang Army, what can they, the helpless people, do, they can only protect themselves wisely.
Xiao Yi didn't care at all what was going on in Wuli City. After raiding Gu Na's house, he issued a series of orders and directly disbanded Meng Yiliang's Tabai Camp, Modao Camp and Euphorbia Camp. camp.
There are a total of 10,000 people in these three battalions, and they all bear the very clear traces of "Meng Yiliang". If the three battalions are still left, even if another person takes over, it will be difficult for them to really obey, but if this is the case, It would be a waste to let them remove their armor and return to the fields. After all, these are 10,000 well-trained soldiers.
So, under Guan Yubai's suggestion, Xiao Yi simply broke up these 10,000 people and organized them into other battalions. Each battalion could only be assigned a few hundred people at most. Under the new environment, By living and training with his new comrades, Meng Yiliang's influence on them will be minimized.
The dozen generals who provoked the mutiny in the military camp that day all resigned from their posts and awaited military justice.
As for the culprit Meng Yiliang, he was ordered to be beheaded in public, and the entire Meng family was dismissed from all military positions. All of this happened in just two days.
Military orders are like mountains, and military law is ruthless!
Under Xiao Yi's iron-fisted policy, all the families in Nanliang surrendered one after another and did not dare to make any small moves in private.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Guan Yubai announced several new policies that had been prepared for a long time to win over the people.
After waiting and watching for so many days, the surrounding small countries finally couldn't sit still. Several countries sent envoys while Xiao Yi was still in Nanliang...
At this time, the royal capital thousands of miles away is about to usher in the palace examination.
