It is often said that "if you receive a favor from others, you should repay it with a spring." In the work "Young Bao Qingtian", Xiuzhu described this sentence vividly. In order to repay Concubine Li's kindness, she even did not hesitate to sacrifice her life to frame the Eight Sages King, forcing Bao Zheng to reveal the truth of the past and clear her grievances for Concubine Li.
Those who have experienced court dramas understand that most of the palace maids and servants in the palace live very humblely, and either have the ability to win the favor of their masters, or they can rise all the way up to one or half a position;Perhaps, it is better to directly lower your presence, and then spend peacefully until the age of leaving the court. If you're lucky, you might even meet someone who can be pampered!If you are unlucky, and you happen to anger a person who likes to use power to bully others, that is, every day should not be, the earth is not spiritual, and even if you die, no one will care.
Xiuzhu is really an unfortunate person, after entering the palace, she was often bullied by the eunuch Guo Huai, not only did she not have enough food and clothing, but she was also often beaten.
Once, she was very lucky to meet Concubine Li when she was beaten. Concubine Li not only stood up for her, but also gave her a bowl of rice to eat. This is the first time she has felt the warmth since entering the palace, and she will naturally remember it in her heart.
At that moment, when Concubine Li and the empress were pregnant at the same time, the first emperor announced which gentleman would have the prince and which child was chosen as the future crown prince. When the queen mother found out, she sent someone to the palace to investigate the matter. The concubines in the palace all longed for the child to be favored by their mother's status, but the decision to have a child was not in their hands, so the queen mother was fully prepared for this.
If Concubine Li's child is the first to be born, then replace her child with a tanuki prepared in advance. If an otherwise healthy child suddenly turns into a tanuki, then he is likely to be considered a youkai.
Sure enough, Concubine Li's child was born. According to the arrangement of the empress mother, the huge division was assigned to the seven inner guards, namely Ling Chuchu's father and his six brothers, the "Chongqing Seven Eagles", who were executed after sending Concubine Li's children out of the palace. Luckily, instead of choosing to kill the innocent newborn baby, they placed him in a small basin and let him move with the current, and it was up to fate whether he would survive or not.
Perhaps blessed by the destiny of heaven, the child not only survived, but also opened a noodle shop in the capital. Although he looks a little scruffy on the outside, his cooking skills are still fresh in my memory to this day.
Concubine Li's life became even more difficult, she was left out in the cold palace, and in order to save her life, she pretended to be crazy and stupid every day.
Xiuzhu learns the truth of the matter, because on the night of Concubine Li's delivery, she secretly waited nearby, and when she heard the cry of the child, she realized that the child had been born safely. That day, she was sitting in the courtyard watching "Journey to the West", when she suddenly heard someone shouting "prince", so she ran over to take a look. However, before she could rejoice, she witnessed several Ouchi guards break into the palace and come out with a baby in their hands. She hurriedly carried the child into the palace and took the baby out of the palace. Although she was not sure at the time whether the child was really Concubine Li's descendant, when later events mentioned that Concubine Li gave birth to a tanuki, she had basically guessed the whole process of changing the tanuki to the prince.
However, she can't easily get these words out because she's just an insignificant character. Even if she says it, it won't necessarily be convincing. Therefore, she went to the cold palace from time to time to visit Concubine Li, and at the same time, she was also waiting for the right opportunity.
Finally, a rare opportunity presented itself. She learned about Bao Zheng's heroic deeds from the eunuch Lin Zhongbang, who she knew, understood that he was a man who was not afraid of power, and understood the importance of the Eight Sages King to him. If the Eight Sages King had a problem, he would definitely rush to the capital. She knows that if she can be an official in the court, she will definitely be respected and loved by many **, but now she can't do this!In addition, she has suffered from a serious illness and is dying, and if she can clear her mind for Concubine Li in her lifetime, then her death will be without regret.
Xiuzhu understands that in order to make this matter more serious, it is necessary to let the Eight Sages perform crimes under the gaze of everyone. Therefore, she adjusted the timing of the edict of the Eight Sages in advance so that he could appear in the main hall earlier than the others. She had a jade candle sent to the Eight Sages and said it was her favorite treasure. After that, she lit incense, and when the Eight Sages lost consciousness, she chose to end her life with a candlestick and put it in the hands of the Eight Sages.
When everyone walked into the main hall, the sight in front of them was that she had died, and the Eight Sages King was holding the murder weapon in his hand, and even if he jumped into the Yellow River, he could not wash it away.
When Bao Zheng learned the news that the Eight Sages King was about to be executed, he immediately rushed to the capital. He has no authority in the court, but he is loved by many ** and the people. At first, they all thought that it was Pang Taishi who falsely accused them behind their backs, because they most hoped that he was the one who wanted the death of the Eight Sages King the most. But considering that he has been struggling for so many years, it seems that there is no need to solve the problem so roundaboutly.
The second person who is suspected is the red man Guo Huai next to the Queen Mother, he is the one who bullied Xiuzhu in the past, and he can always reveal some kind of deep meaning when he speaks.
From the description of the eunuch Lin Zhongbang, Bao Zheng and his team learned that Xiuzhu liked to go to Liuzi Noodle Restaurant to taste noodles every day, and learned that the criminal who stole the calligraphy and paintings was a black armor man. Although they still don't know the specific connection between the two events, their first task is to go to the Rokuko Noodle Restaurant to investigate.
However, when they walked into the Rokuko noodle restaurant, they found that the owner, Rokuko, was a very informal person, and the noodles he cooked were very casual and not very hygienic. But Rokuko has a cheerful personality and likes to chat, and they originally thought that this might be the reason why Xiuzhu likes to come here to eat noodles!
Subsequently, Bao Zheng and his team found the stolen calligraphy and painting in Xiuzhu's room, which indicates that there must be some connection between the black armor man and Xiuzhu, but what is the real purpose of stealing the painting?
In fact, when Xiuzhu heard the verses in the painting, she noticed that there were three words in the poem, "Thousand Wave Palace", which was where Concubine Lee's mother lived. She thought that might be the name her mother had given her!She hopes to help Bao Zheng and his team find the Thousand Waves Hall and write the corresponding numbers in the palms of their hands. Bao Zheng and his team quickly reached this point, and rushed to the Qianbo Hall to learn about Xiuzhu and Concubine Li.
Ever since the Eight Sages King learned that Bao Zheng and the others had investigated the Thousand Wave Palace, he basically had a general understanding of the whole incident and understood why Xiuzhu wanted to frame him like this. He knew that at this time, it was impossible for the Eight Sages King to stand up and defend himself. Out of consideration for the overall situation, he had to rearrange the story and try to mislead Bao Zheng. It just so happened that Xiuzhu left a painting with Rokuko, which originally revealed the truth of the matter. However, since the Eight Sages asked Bao Zheng to go to him again the next day, Bao Zheng asked the six sons to send the painting directly to the Eight Sages, and as a result, the painting was taken away by the Eight Sages.
The Eight Sages subtly replaced the painting with a person holding a pot, which was an obvious allusion to Guo Huai. Bao Zheng and his team were indeed misled, and they even went to question Guo Huai with great fanfare, but Guo Huai firmly denied it, and they were helpless.
In addition, they realize that whenever they take action, there is always someone who gets a head start. This made Bao Zheng very angry. Therefore, Bao Zheng carefully planned a plan, hoping to attract Guo Huai into this situation. However, when these two men entered the game, there were no accidents. Unexpectedly, the person who was attracted to it turned out to be Li Xiaodao, who had been assisting them in investigating the case. When Bao Zheng realized that all this was done by Li Xiaodao, he unfortunately died at home, and wrote the words "Guo Huai killed me" with his own blood.
While investigating the cause of Li Xiaodao's death, Bao Zheng and his team realized that they had fallen into a trap. Li Xiaodao was not actually killed by Guo Huai, but was forced to commit suicide by the Eight Sages King.
Bao Zheng felt that all the situations seemed to be the Eight Sages King behind the scenes, but what was the real reason?Because he didn't know that his situation was actually to be tried with the Eight Sages King, and the Eight Sages King was on the verge of being forced to be the emperor, so he had to have a good way to protect himself. Why did the Eight Sages go around in such a big circle?Before he could fully comprehend it, the Assassins sent by the Queen Mother had arrived at the inn with the intention of ending their lives. This made Bao Zheng very uncomfortable. In the chaos, Pang Feiyan spilled wine on the yellow cloth that Ling Chuchu brought back from Yinyi Village, and the handwriting appeared on the yellow cloth, and even spread to the Qianbo Palace, but unfortunately, only half of the yellow cloth was left, so the puzzle was still unsolved.
Bao Zheng couldn't solve the puzzle, so he went to Liuzi Noodle Restaurant, and Liuzi was very enthusiastic to invite him to drink wine. At this moment, Bao Zheng unexpectedly discovered that Liuzi also had the same yellow cloth and bracelet as the emperor. That's what allowed him to successfully tie everything together. It turned out that the sixth son was the baby who was taken out of the palace that year, and he was likely to be the emperor who succeeded the emperor.
Xiuzhu was so enthusiastic about the Liuzi Noodle Restaurant and left him beautiful calligraphy and paintings precisely because she recognized this as Concubine Li's child.
Although Concubine Li could not completely wash away the grievances she received because she gave birth to a tanuki, the emperor still gave her the opportunity to reunite with her son. This is perhaps the outcome that a mother most longs to see, because she had mistakenly thought that her son, who had long since lost his life, was still alive, and that was enough.
Xiuzhu is not only intellectual, but also a great person, she traded her life for such a reunion ending!
