Min Yiyi asked: "Were you there at that time?" Xiaotang's father: "I was not at home at the time. I was at Zhuangzi! I only went back the next day after I got the letter after giving birth." Min Yiyi: "Oh? Do you know who the imperial physician was at that time?" Xiaotang's father shook his head: "I don't know, after all, I wasn't at home at the time." Min Yiyi: "Did you find a midwife at that time?" "Yes!" Xiaotang's father said, "I had to find it myself in advance! It's Mrs. Lin from the alley next door!" Min Yiyi: "I want to ask her a few words. Can you bring her?" Xiaotang's father shook his head: "The person is gone a long time ago!" "It's gone?" Min Yiyi asked, "Why is it gone?" Xiaotang’s father: “Shortly after Xiaotang was born, I accidentally fell into the well in her yard at night and drowned!”
Min Yiyi: "..." Min Yiyi thought about it and wanted to know which imperial doctor her mother went to at that time. She definitely couldn't ask the imperial doctor directly, because if her guess was true, it was probably the imperial doctor who did the trick, and it was most convenient for the imperial doctor to travel to and from the palace. . The old servants around the mother were all abandoned by the stepmother and were nowhere to be found for a while. She thought of her father. Maybe my father can remember? Because, if you want to invite an imperial doctor, you must go with your father's post. So she brought her father Min Hongwei into the palace. This was the first time Min Yiyi met her original father. He looks good-looking, but he doesn't care about people. In the memory of the original owner, growing up, he saw his father only a handful of times. Guan'er is not a big man, so I don't know what he is busy with all day long. "The Empress." Min Hongwei said as a monarch and his ministers, "I wonder if I want to bring you into the palace. What's the important thing?" Min Yiyi said: "There is something I want to ask my father. Does my father still remember the maid beside my mother, Aunt Huiru? She is also the biological mother of the maid Xiaotang beside me." Min Hongwei: "Remember! What's wrong?" Min Yiyi: "She had a difficult delivery when she gave birth to Xiaotang. It was my mother who invited the imperial doctor to save their lives. Does my father still remember which imperial doctor he invited?" After more than ten years, Min Hongwei said without even thinking: "It's the imperial physician Song Jianhua." Min Yiyi: "After such a long time, my father can still remember it so clearly?" Min Hongwei said: "On that day, the imperial physician of the Song Dynasty died of a sudden illness, so I was deeply impressed." Dead too?
Min Yiyi was silent for a moment and said: "That's it... OK, I know! I'm sorry to bother my father, but you can go back."
Min Hongwei asked strangely: "Why did the empress suddenly think of asking this?" Min Yiyi smiled and said: "There is no need to ask this father, and my daughter will not ask her father what she did with my dowry." Min Hongwei's face changed, and he said with a look of shame: "I'm sorry for my empress! I owe a lot of gambling debts, and I don't know how to repay them..." Min Yiyi: "I believe that father will find a way. Father, there is one more thing. I hope father will take care of it." Min Hongwei: "Please give me your instructions." Min Yiyi: "It's time for Dongqing to get married. Please arrange a servant for her. I won't let her waste her youth in the palace." Min Hongwei: "...Well, she belongs to the empress. It is against the rules for the empress to send her back to her natal family for marriage." Min Yiyi: "Father, your daughter is the queen. For the women in the harem, the queen's words are the rules." Min Hongwei was stunned for a moment and looked at her: "Yes." "I will have someone send her out in the next two days." Min Yiyi added, "I hope my father will tell my mother how much I want to thank her for her kindness. Luyun, see you off." "Yes." Luyun sent Min Hongwei out. … A midwife and an imperial physician both died. And they were all shortly after Xiaotang was born. Originally, this was just a sudden guess by Min Yiyi, but now she is 70% certain that there must be something wrong with this matter!
Min Yiyi called her cousin again and asked him to find a way to contact the family members of the midwife and the imperial doctor to see if he could find some clues about the past. If the two of them died, their families wouldn't all be dead, right?
After the cousin left, No. 9 appeared and said to Min Yiyi: "Host, something happened just now. I don't know if I am too worried." Min Yiyi: "What's going on?" No. 9: "When your father left, he said something to Luyun." Min Yiyi: "What did you say?" No. 9: "He said that Fenglin Pavilion has good feng shui." Min Yiyi: "That's it?" No. 9: "Yes. The master of the family suddenly said such an inexplicable word to the little maid next to his daughter. I find it very strange." Min Yiyi: "What did Luyun say?" No. 9: "Lu Jun replied with a smile: No! Ever since the Queen moved to Mingyuan, she has become more and more beautiful!" Min Yiyi: "Then what?" No. 9: "Then your father left." Min Yiyi: "I guess I just think Fenglin Pavilion has good feng shui, so I just said it casually." Number 9: "Oh." Min Yiyi: "You can keep an eye on my cousin at any time. If there is any progress there, tell me immediately. You don't have to wait for him to enter the palace."
Number 9: "Okay." …… Min Yiyi found Dongqing and told her to get married out of the palace. Dongqing cried and begged Min Yiyi not to send her out of the palace. She didn't want to leave the palace. Min Yiyi looked at her: "My stepmother taught you to make me look ugly so that I can make room for my third sister. If you don't do things well, your third sister will not be able to enter the palace. It is useless to keep you. If I don't send you out of the palace, I will keep you here to celebrate the New Year." ?” Dongqing was stunned for a long time and said, "My dear, do you know everything?" Min Yiyi: "It's completely clear." Dongqing knelt down with a bang: "Your Majesty! Please don't drive this slave away! If this slave goes back, he will definitely be rejected by the madam, and I'm afraid the end will be miserable!" Min Yiyi: "Do you think I'm stupid? You plot everything and you still want me to keep you by my side?" Holly: "Slave... I am still useful to you! I know many secrets of my Lord, Queen and Mother!" Min Yiyi: "Oh? Tell me." Dongqing: "Master, Master, he raised an outer room!" Min Yiyi: "Huh?" Dongqing: "It's at Bailiu Villa in the east of the city! My father followed it and saw it with my own eyes." Min Yiyi: "What does it have to do with me how many wives he has? I'll leave this to my stepmother." Dongqing added: "I also heard that the mistress, your biological mother, did not die of illness! But... she was murdered!" Min Yiyi: "Conspired by who?" Dongqing shook her head: "This slave doesn't know!" Min Yiyi: "Then who told you? Your parents were stepmother's companions. When my mother passed away, they had not entered the house yet!" Dongqing said: "Madam, this slave is referring to the step-wife. She originally asked my mother to find a way to get rid of the former mistress's confidants without leaving a trace. One of the mothers named Zhao told my mother that the lady was harmed and strangled alive. He died and was hung on the beam!"
