  After learning about Zhao Wei, Zhao Qi and Zhao Xu remained honest for a long time because of the anger of the empress at the same time, and the peace in the palace seemed to have returned to the past. However, both Tang Jingyun and Ruan Tang knew very well that under this peace, The hidden battle is surging, never stopping for a moment.

Soon, the first month came out, everything revived and the earth warmed up. The new college opened by Tang Jingyun and Ruan Tang in Beijing officially started. Originally, this kind of college with no reputation, no famous teachers and great Confucians, and a mixed teaching of boys and girls that violated the custom and common sense, was completely unacceptable in the elite class of the capital.

But behind the academy stood Empress Tang Jingyun, with the support of Duke Jing, Prince Su and other close friends, who took the initiative to send the girl from the family to the academy, so the other dignitaries did not dare to say anything, except for some In addition to the rigid and conservative old scholars, some also sent their children here. Therefore, on the first day of the school year, the wading horses in front of the college are very lively. Naturally, the people who came to see off the students included Ruan Tang.

Although Tu Jiaojiao was taught by Tang Jingyun personally in the palace, there were no children around her age in the palace, and although the imperial garden had a wonderful view and there were many rare birds and animals to enjoy, it could not replace a real person after all. Yes, so it will inevitably be lonely after a long time. Now that the new college has been built, there are many girls of the same age who come to enroll, and she can just make some new friends.

Fortunately, the site of the new academy is not far from the imperial palace, and it is also in the inner city. It only takes half an hour to go back and forth, so there is no trouble in picking up and dropping off every day. Du Jiaojiao is lively and outgoing, sensible and courteous, coupled with her unusual background, no one dares to bully her, so she quickly made many new friends in the academy and lived a very comfortable life.

At the same time, Tu An also began to prepare for this year's county examination. Because it is the first reference, although Tang Jingyun has great confidence in Tu An, Tu Lin and Ruan Tang don't want to put too much pressure on Tu An, they just let him relax and focus on participating, don't be too persistent, give Tu An a good job conducted a pre-examination counseling session.

However, Tu An's mental quality and talent and learning skills are obviously very strong. In a place like the capital full of talents, it is the first time to take part in the exam, and he won the first place in the exam, which made Tu Lin and Ruan Tang happy and excited. Be proud.

That's not all, the Tongsheng Examination originally had three exams, namely the County Examination, the Government Examination, and the Academy Examination. He also won the first place in the hospital examination, and has the title of Little Sanyuan. In this way, he deservedly got the quota to enter the Guozijian.

Such a big happy event naturally needs to be celebrated. If it was in Fengyang's home, it would be necessary to set up a running water mat for a whole day, and it would be lively and lively, but in the palace, this is not possible, the whole family just sit together and have a good meal.

Tu An entered the Imperial College after the exam, Tu Jiaojiao will go to the new school tomorrow to study, Tu Lin also has his own errands, although Ruan Tang was busy with the business in Beijing at the beginning, after half a year, the shop has already stabilized , as long as the manager and the shopkeeper are enough to deal with it, he only needs to check the accounts at the end of each month, which is very leisurely. Fortunately, there is Tang Jingyun who is also relaxed, and the father and son finally have a lot of time to be alone.

At noon that day, Tu An and Tu Jiaojiao were not there, Tu Lin had to patrol and not come back for dinner, Tang Jingyun also wanted to accompany Emperor Wu Cheng, and Ruan Tang knew that Emperor Wu Cheng didn't like to disturb his time with Tang Jingyun, so Tang Jingyun refused to send someone to invite him to Zichen Hall, but stayed alone in Zhaoqing Hall for lunch.

Perhaps because of the hot summer weather, Ruan Tang has been feeling a little tired recently and has no appetite. When the lunch was served, he smelled the meaty meat dishes on the table, and he even faintly felt nauseated, so he ordered them to remove all the dishes, leaving only a bowl of mung bean lily porridge and a plate of golden silk rolls And a few dishes of cool and light vegetarian dishes.

The palace servants quickly removed the dishes he jumped out of according to Ruan Tang's instructions, and Ruan Tang waited for a while, until he could no longer smell the greasy smell from his nostrils, and the discomfort in his stomach dissipated, before he began to eat. It's just that it affected my appetite. I could only drink a bowl of porridge, but I couldn't eat any more.

After eating, Ruan Tang originally planned to read a book, but within five minutes of holding the book in his hand, his eyelids began to sink, and finally he was very sleepy, so he put down the book, lay down on the couch, and planned to take a nap . However, not long after Ruan Tang closed his eyes, he heard a loud noise coming from outside.

"Bixi, what's going on outside?" Ruan Tang opened his eyes and asked the big court lady Bixi standing outside the door. The palace servants Tang Jingyun sent to him were all the most well-behaved, and it was the first time that there was such a commotion in Zhaoqing Palace.

The big palace maid Bixi heard Ruan Tang's question, so she came in, blessed Ruan Tangfu, and said: "Young Master, I don't know about it, so I'll go and have a look." Although Ruan Tang is Tu Lin's husband, but more He is the son of Empress Tang Jingyun, but he does not have a title, so the palace people all call him a son.

Ruan Tang nodded to Bixi, and after Bixi saluted again, she exited the inner room. After a while, Tourmaline came back, but her steps were a little hurried, and her face showed some worry.

"Why?" Ruan Tang couldn't help frowning when he saw this, and asked.

Bixi knelt down to Ruan Tang, and said, "Young master, it's Xiao Jiangzi. For some reason, he suddenly coughed up blood, and he... seems to be dying. I also ask you to be kind to me, so that the servants can invite the imperial physician to treat Xiao Jiangzi. Diagnosis and treatment."

Xiao Jiangzi is also a servant of the Zhaoqing Palace, and if they had ordinary minor ailments, most of them would go to the imperial hospital for diagnosis and treatment to ask for medicine, but now Xiao Jiangzi is seriously ill and can't get up. The only option is to invite the imperial physician to the Zhaoqing Hall, but for this, the owner of the Zhaoqing Hall, Ruan Tang, must agree.

Human life is at stake, Ruan Tang naturally would not refuse, immediately said: "It is important to save people, please go and invite the imperial physician." After that, he also got up and got off the couch, going to see Xiao Jiangzi.

The place where the palace people rested was at the back of the Zhaoqing Hall. When Ruan Tang arrived, he saw that, as Bixi said, Xiao Jiangzi's face was as pale as a gossamer, with blood on the corner of his mouth, and he coughed from time to time. When you cough, you will vomit blood, which is shocking.

The Imperial Hospital was not far from Zhaoqing Hall, and soon Bixi came back panting with an imperial doctor who was also panting with a medicine box on his back. Naturally, the imperial physician knew about Ruan Tang, and was going to salute him right away, but saving lives was the most important thing, so Ruan Tang hurriedly stopped him and asked him to treat Xiao Jiangzi first.

Ruan Tang ordered, and the imperial physician naturally dared not disobey, so he stepped forward to check Xiao Jiangzi's pulse, and then he carried out a check on Xiao Jiangzi, and even dipped a silver needle in the blood spit out by Xiao Jiangzi, and then the blood in the room Everyone could clearly see that the silver needle turned black not long after it came into contact with Xiao Jiangzi's blood.

The change of the silver needle couldn't be more obvious. It doesn't take the imperial doctor to say that everyone knows that Xiao Jiangzi has been poisoned. Although I don't know what kind of poison it is, nor how Xiao Jiangzi was poisoned, but if the cause is found out, he can be treated. Soon, after the imperial physician fed medicine and injected blood with needles, Xiao Jiangzi's condition stabilized and his life was no longer in danger.

It's just that although Xiao Jiangzi was rescued, the matter was not over yet. The poison that appeared in the Zhaoqing Palace was known to Tu Lin, Tang Jingyun and Emperor Wu Cheng as quickly as possible.

Zichen Hall is the closest to Zhaoqing Hall, so Tang Jingyun and Emperor Wu Cheng were the first to arrive. Both of them looked very ugly. Tang Jingyun was most worried about Ruan Tang, and when he saw Ruan Tang, he grabbed him and looked up and down, saying "Yuan'er, are you alright?"

Emperor Wu Cheng frowned, with a stormy look on his face, and asked the palace servants who were kneeling on the ground, "What's going on? Zhaoqing How could someone in the palace be poisoned?"

"Father, I'm fine, don't worry." Ruan Tang comforted Tang Jingyun first, and then said to Emperor Wu Cheng, "Let me do it."

Although Tang Jingyun and Wu Chengdi came quickly, Xiao Jiangzi's consciousness is still quite clear. Ruan Tang asked him before, and soon asked him out. There are three bowls of mung bean soup. Then the imperial physician followed what Xiaojiangzi said, and checked the old duck soup with bamboo fungus and mung bean soup, and found that the old duck soup with bamboo fungus was poisoned, and it was still very poisonous with blood sealing the throat.

As for the mung bean soup, it is not poisonous. It is also because Xiao Jiangzi didn't drink much of the old duck soup. After drinking the old duck soup, he felt a little greasy, so he drank mung bean soup to relieve the greasy, and mung bean has detoxification effect. Because of the effect, he drank a lot in a row, so that Xiao Jiangzi was not poisoned to death immediately, and he survived until the imperial physician came to treat him.

This is how Xiao Jiangzi was poisoned, but Tang Jingyun was even more furious, because Ruan Tang told him that the poisoned bamboo fungus and duck soup that Xiao Jiangzi drank was originally sent to Ruan Tang by the imperial dining room. However, due to Ruan Tang's poor appetite, he didn't eat other meat dishes including this old duck soup.

It would be too wasteful if these dishes were just thrown away, so they were taken by the palace people to their own rooms. Xiaojiangzi suffered from the misfortune of this fish in the pond.

It was about Ruan Tang's life, and Tang Jingyun himself wanted to investigate thoroughly. Dang even sent someone to bring over all the people who had handled the bamboo fungus and duck soup, and interrogate them one by one. At the same time, Tang Jingyun asked the imperial physician to check Ruan Tang's pulse. After all, Ruan Tang also ate other meals that came with the old duck soup. Although it seems that there is no serious problem now, he has to take precautions.

Ruan Tang didn't eat much at noon, and he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with him, but in order to reassure Tang Jingyun, he sat down and stretched out his hand bowl for the imperial doctor to diagnose and treat.

At first, Ruan Tang didn't think there was anything wrong, but soon, when he saw the imperial doctor frowning, showing a little hesitant and dignified expression, he couldn't help but feel a little worried.

After a while, just when Ruan Tang couldn't help but want to ask what's the matter, the imperial doctor withdrew his hand, and then said to him with a smile on his face: "Congratulations, Mr. Ruan, your body is not poisoned. , is very healthy, and is now two months pregnant."

Ruan Tang immediately froze on the spot after what the imperial doctor said, and even Tang Jingyun was stunned for a moment, but soon revealed a look of surprise , said: "Really? Are you really pregnant?"

The imperial physician nodded repeatedly, and said: "Go back to Your Highness, I will never make a wrong diagnosis. Mr. Ruan is indeed pregnant."

"Congratulations, Mr.." He congratulated Ruan Tang all over the place, and at this moment, Tu Lin came back, and before he entered the door, an anxious voice came in first, "A Tang—" He led people to patrol the palace today, delivering letters to him It took some time for people to find him, and it took a while for him to come back later.

As soon as he entered the room, he saw Ruan Tang sitting on a chair with his head slightly lowered and his face stunned. His heart tightened, and he didn't care about Tang Jingyun and Emperor Wu Cheng in the room, so he rushed to Ruan Tang's side and half knelt down. , holding Ruan Tang's face gently, and asked with difficulty hiding his worry: "A Tang, how are you?

" After many years, he thought there would be no more, but he didn't expect it to come suddenly. He was very surprised for a while, and he couldn't react immediately. It wasn't until he heard Tu Lin's voice that he came back to his senses.

As soon as Ruan Tang spoke, this time it was Tu Lin who was stunned, didn't he say that someone was poisoned, how did he become pregnant?

"A Lin, don't be dazed, help Yuan'er back to the room to rest. Yuan'er's pregnancy is less than three months old, it is the most dangerous time, you have to take care of it carefully, just leave it to me, you guys Don't worry." Although Tang Jingyun has never been pregnant, he has taken care of pregnant women, so he knows a little bit about it. He also wants to accompany Ruan Tang back in person, but the person who poisoned him hasn't been found yet. He has to solve this matter first to ensure that The safety of Ruan Tang and the children is the only thing.

By the time Tang Jingyun spoke, Tu Lin had already digested the fact that Ruan Tang was pregnant, so he was naturally very happy, but when he remembered the poisoning in Zhaoqing Palace, his joy turned into anger and fear. Although he really wanted to catch the people behind the scenes with his own hands, it was more important to take care of Ruan Tang at the moment, so according to Tang Jingyun's words, he left the matter to him to investigate, and he planned to accompany Ruan Tang back to the dormitory.

"Then I will trouble you." Tu Lin stood up and said to Tang Jingyun.

"Don't worry." Tang Jingyun said. As he spoke, a look of interest flashed in his eyes. His son was harmed once many years ago, and now someone is harming his child again under his nose, no matter who it is , he will not let them go.

Tu Lin nodded, then nodded slightly to Emperor Wu Cheng, and was about to leave, but he didn't want to hear Emperor Wu Cheng speak suddenly, and said in a deep voice: "I will definitely give you an explanation for this matter." Tu Lin was slightly startled, but

soon Nodding again, he said, "Thank you, Your Majesty." After finishing speaking, he carefully supported Ruan Tang and left.

The last sentence of Emperor Wu Cheng made Tu Lin and Ruan Tang understand something in a daze, but before the truth came to light, neither of them dared to be very sure, so they could only wait silently. During this period, Ruan Tang raised his baby in Zhaoqing Palace with peace of mind, and Tu Lin also transferred a rest with his colleagues, trying to stay with Ruan Tang during this time as much as possible.

The meals in the Zhaoqing Palace were poisoned, and the servants were both suspected and guilty of negligence, so most of them were replaced by Tang Jingyun. It's just that if the newcomers return, it's even more worrying, so they temporarily transfer their own people from the Zichen Palace. In addition, the meals for Ruan Tang's family are no longer in charge of the imperial dining room, but delivered directly from the small kitchen of the Zichen Palace.

Although Tu Lin didn't specifically ask Tang Jingyun how the investigation was going, they were still inside the Zhaoqing Hall, and there were still news from outside. In addition, a paper package containing white powder powder was found in his room, so Zhao Qi was banned from his own palace. After Tang Jingyun interrogated the people in Zhao Qi's palace, someone actually found out that it was Zhao Xu who asked him to take the The white powder paper bag was placed in Zhao Qi's palace, Tang Jingyun sent someone to find Zhao Xu, and also interrogated the people in his palace, but in the end they didn't ask anything, but Zhao Xu was also grounded.

During this period, there was another incident that seemed to have nothing to do with the poisoning of the Zhaoqing Palace. That is, during the investigation period, Tang Jingyun invited Lord Yasukuni Tang Jingting to have an audience. What a treasure, the news of the martial law search of the government.

In the twinkling of an eye, a month has passed, and the palace, the imperial court, and even the capital are all in a state of turmoil over the poisoning in the Zhaoqing Palace. It was peaceful and quiet, without any disturbance, and in the Zichen Hall, which was separated from the Zhaoqing Hall by a corridor, you could hear needles falling quietly at this time.

Tang Jingyun threw the confession sent by his subordinates on Emperor Wu Cheng, and said with a sneer: "Okay, okay, the people of your Zhao family are really getting stronger and stronger. They used to be kidnapped and threatened, but now they have learned to plant and marry Misfortune, murder with a knife, can't tolerate my son so much? How did my son offend you?" "

...I'm sorry." Emperor Wu Cheng didn't need to read the confession, someone had already reported everything to him, but his sentence I'm sorry, but it's not for those Zhao family members, but for himself, he never thought that what he said casually in the Jingguo mansion that day would bring Ruan Tang's death.
