The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Chapter 162 Death of Mei Niang

In Qingfeng Garden, Li Lingjingshu had just finished washing. Li Ling was hugging his beloved wife and comforting her, saying, "Did the incident in the palace scare you today?"

Jing Shu said leisurely: "It's quite scary. Concubine Wei is so young and she's gone as soon as she says she's gone."

She sighed: "It can be seen that not everyone can stay at the top of power for a long time. If there is no scheming in the city, I am afraid that I will die without knowing who has broken it."

Li Ling patted his wife and said jokingly: "So your temperament is only suitable for marrying a man like me."

Jingshu asked: "What do you think of this?"

Li Ling hugged her and said, "I only have a woman like you, and I won't let you suffer those intrigues. I wish you could just be simple and kind forever."

The two of them were lying in bed, and Danzhu knocked on the door anxiously and said: "Master, my wife is not well. Just now Xiyuan came to send a message, saying that Aunt Mei was poisoned to death."

Inside Bitang, Xu Wanning took off her clothes and jewelry after returning, but still couldn't help but talk about today's events.

"Hey! Who did you think was responsible for murdering Concubine Wei today? Could it be Meng?"

Li Xian glared at his wife and scolded him angrily: "I haven't said anything to you yet. Why can't you get rid of your long tongue? Are you able to make irresponsible remarks about these things?"

Xu Wanning glared back at Li Xian and said angrily: "Aren't we talking to you behind closed doors? If something like this happened, could you still stop me and ask?"

Li Xianbai looked at Xu Wanning and reprimanded: "No one in the palace said anything today, but you said it there, you said that you are now the wife of an important minister in the cabinet, how come you don't have the slightest scheming in the city, and you are so careless all day long?"

, what does it look like.”

When Xu Wanning saw that her husband was disgusted with her again, she threw the golden hairpin she had taken off on the dressing table with a loud bang, and said angrily: "Don't make me angry here, hurry up, let's go

Since the two of us have nothing to do with each other, we will see each other less often in the future."

Li Xian sneered and said: "Do you think I am willing to be here with you? All the hospitals are closed in the middle of the night. Which hospital do you want me to go to?"

The two were quarreling here when the news came that the mother-in-law ran in angrily and replied in shock: "Uncle, Madam, it's not good, Aunt Mei has been poisoned and died."

Li Xian and Xu Wanning were all shocked when they heard this.

Li Xian ran into Chenxi Pavilion and saw Mei Niang lying on her back on the bed, bleeding from all her orifices, her eyes wide open, and she was dead in a very miserable state.

Li Xian was horrified. He looked at Xiao Hong, who was stunned with fear, and asked, "What on earth is going on?"

Only then did Xiaohong come back to her senses. She was so frightened that she quickly knelt down and cried: "My aunt just ate the mooncakes that were distributed early in the morning, and that's all she did after eating. I really don't know about the rest."

Aunt Mei Mei clearly told her that it was Guo Cuiyan who gave her the abortion pill. The original plan her master had discussed with Guo Cuiyan was for her to take the pill and abort the child in her belly, and blame it on the Xu family to help Guo Cuiyan rise to power. Guo Cuiyan also promised her that it would happen

Finally, let Mei Niang stay in the house forever.

Unexpectedly, their master died after taking the medicine, which shows that they were fooled by Guo Cuiyan.

This woman is so vicious, and now, Xiao Hong can only insist that it was because of eating moon cakes, but she still dares to tell the truth out of the blue.

At this moment, Xu Wanning, Jing Shu and Li Ling also rushed over.

When Aunt Qiu next to Xu Wanning heard Xiaohong's words, she immediately realized that she was trying to frame her aunt. She hurriedly defended herself: "This mooncake was given to me by someone who ordered me to share it early in the morning. They are available in every house. How could there be such a thing?"

question."

Mei Niang was a lowly person. Even if she died in such an unknown way, she did not need to report to the official. The laws of Daqi did not protect such a woman without a place of origin. But after all, he was given by the Holy God. He died like this for Li Xian.

It's better to hide your official career from others.

Li Ling ordered: "Just order someone to bury the person quietly. Just say that he suddenly fell ill."

Li Xian sat paralyzed on the ground, thinking of the flesh and blood that would be born in two months, and recalling Mei Niang's good life. She stared at Xu Wanning with red eyes and said: "If you let me check,

If it was you who did it, I will definitely not be able to spare you."

Xu Wanning was also frightened by Mei Niang's death. When her husband said this, she didn't know how to defend herself.

However, Aunt Qiu was relatively calm. When she saw that Li Xian was really suspicious of her aunt, she stepped forward to protect Xu Wanning and replied to Li Xian: "Master, please don't wrongly accuse a good person. This charming aunt has to give birth to a child."

Even if she moves out of the house, it won't bother our wife, so why should she poison her?"

Li Xian pointed at Xu Wanning and said, "I don't know about you, but you have always regarded Mei Niang as a thorn in his side. If it weren't for you, who else could do it?"

Jing Shu stepped forward and defended Xu Wanning: "Sister-in-law doesn't want to see this aunt Mei, but there is no need to poison her. My brother doesn't even think about it. If he kills her, if the news gets out, it will definitely affect his career. This is not good for him."

What are the benefits of sister-in-law?"

Li Xian replied angrily: "Huh! This woman probably wants me to be kicked out of the cabinet."

Li Ling stepped forward to comfort Li Xian and said: "Brother, please stop being so impulsive. We still have to hide this matter. If it is really publicized, it will be detrimental to you. Besides, after all these years of marrying into our family, don't you know who my sister-in-law is? Sister-in-law.

He is definitely not such a vicious person, I'm afraid there is something fishy about this matter."

After listening to Li Ling's words, Jingshu ordered her confidants: "Put the person to death quietly, and lock up the people in Chenxi Pavilion for the time being."

The Zhenguo Palace was dealing with Mei Niang quietly and secretly. Early the next morning, the memorial to impeach Li Xianzong's wife for killing the pregnant concubine flew into Emperor Ming's study room like snowflakes.

Emperor Ming's pregnant concubine had just been poisoned to death for no apparent reason, and something like this happened again in the family of an important cabinet minister. This was like a timely knife, stabbing hard into Emperor Ming's already bleeding heart.

He couldn't help but think of the pregnant concubine who had just died tragically in front of him.

Emperor Ming Long Yan was furious and immediately issued an imperial edict, depriving Li Xian of his qualification as an assistant minister in the cabinet, expelling him from the cabinet, demoting him two levels, and sending him to serve in the Ministry of Industry.

Li Xian had put in so much effort to get to this point, but now he was expelled from the cabinet because of the back house incident, demoted two levels, and sent to the poor Ministry of Works. After listening to the imperial edict, he immediately

The blood rushed to his heart, and he fainted all of a sudden.

After everyone carried him back, Xu Wanning gave him two large glasses of water to revive him.

When Li Xianyou woke up, he looked at Xu Wanning in front of him, raised his hand tremblingly and slapped her, saying bitterly: "You jealous Xu family, now you have harmed me like this, how can you?"

Just let go of your hatred."

Xu Wanning received this slap, pushed Li Xian and cursed: "Are you crazy? Do you really think I poisoned that Gong Ji?"

Li Xian waved his hand and replied categorically: "Now that things have come to an end, the fate between you and me as husband and wife is over. Let's just make peace with each other."
