Chapter 110 Punishment

After the north wind all night, the temperature suddenly dropped. Wan'er had already made a thick cloth gown for Zhang Zong. After serving Zhang Zong to wash in the morning, she also helped him put it on. Not to mention, this girl is really clever and skillful. Not only is she cooked well, but she is also the best girl. She wears this clothes very close to her body, making Zhang Zong's figure look even more upright.

"Young Master is so beautiful!" Wan'er looked at Zhang Zong wearing her new clothes, and couldn't help but praise her. After saying that, her little face turned red first.

"You rely on makeup, Wan'er, your skills are better!" Zhang Zong laughed at Wan'er's shy look. The little girl has grown up and her mouth is getting sweeter and sweeter.

The weather became colder and there were fewer people buying flowers. Wan'er could come alone, while Zhang Zong was fiddling with flowers and plants in the flowerbed. The autumn sun was not as hot as summer, so many flowers and plants could be moved out of the shade of trees and placed in the sun so that they could accumulate enough energy to survive the winter.

In addition, Zhang Zong regretted working. When he renovated the yard before, he forgot to build a greenhouse at home. In this way, in winter, he could move flowers and plants to the greenhouse, especially southern flowers such as gardenia and jasmine. If there is no greenhouse, he may be frozen to death.

"It's not too late now. I have to find a few more craftsmen in the past two days to build the greenhouse!" Zhang Zong stood up and looked at the flowers and plants in the yard and murmured to himself.

However, just as Zhang Zong finished speaking, Di Renjie suddenly walked in from outside the door with a few gifts. When he saw Zhang Zong, he immediately smiled and said, "Brother Zhang, thank you for your reminder before. The case has finally made great progress. I hope you don't dislike it for a few thank you gifts!"

"Brother Di, you are too polite. Come on, what gifts are there?" Zhang Zong hurriedly came forward and smiled, and then asked the other party to sit in the living room.

"Brother Zhang, thanks to you this time. If you hadn't asked me to find a wife, I'd probably not have found out that Princess Ying was already pregnant. Now His Majesty has asked us to stop the investigation and probably won't let the investigation continue. After all, this is a scandal in the palace. Naturally, the fewer people know, the better!"

Di Renjie finally showed a glad expression. There was nothing to investigate in this case. No matter how Princess Ying died, it must be inseparable from the queen.

"If this is true, Brother Di, you have escaped from the sea of ​​suffering. But have your autopsy found out what happened?" Zhang Zong first congratulated Di Renjie, and then asked again. Although the cause of Princess Ying's death is no longer important, he still wanted to figure it out.

When she heard Zhang Zong ask about this, Di Renjie smiled bitterly and shook his head, "No, when the Wen Po went to the autopsy, he quickly found that the abdomen of the body was a little different, so she tried it with the massage technique during her delivery, and a stillbirth slipped out, which scared Wen Po very much and fell ill when she got home. I also went to visit Wen Po and also included her medical expenses."

"That peaceful woman is okay?" Zhang Zong immediately asked when he heard this. After all, he came up with this idea. If he really scared the other party, he would be uneasy.

"It's nothing big, I'm just frightened. The doctor prescribed some medicine to calm the mind. It should be fine if I take care of it for a few days." Di Renjie suddenly sighed again when he said this, "When I asked Wen Po to go for a autopsy before, I didn't tell her the identity of the body, so Wen Po still only thinks that the body is the wife of a wealthy family."

"It's fine!" Zhang Zong finally felt relieved when he heard this.

"Brother Zhang, the autopsy did not find any trauma, but even if a pregnant person was hungry for a few days, would he really die?" Di Renjie suddenly raised his doubts at this time and said, although there was no need to investigate this case anymore, just like Zhang Zong, he was still very curious about the real cause of Princess Ying's death.

"No one can tell you this. After a woman becomes pregnant, she will have different symptoms due to her physical constitution. For example, most of them will often feel nauseous and vomit in the early stages of pregnancy, and even unable to eat in severe cases. There are other symptoms, some of which are mild and serious. It would be fine if someone is taking care of her. If no one is taking care of her, it may indeed be dangerous." Zhang Zong also showed a solemn expression at the end of her speech.

Pregnancy is definitely a barrier in life for women. All kinds of abnormal situations may occur. For example, some pregnant women may experience symptoms of hypoglycemia, and may even fall into the ground in severe cases. It is not impossible to die.

Of course, in addition to hypoglycemia, it may also be due to the death of Princess Ying after she became pregnant and other symptoms caused by hunger. If no one takes care of her, small problems may become big problems, which eventually leads to the death of Princess Ying.

"Oh, now it seems that unless Princess Ying is resurrected, we outsiders will never be able to figure out the cause of her death." Di Renjie sighed again at this time.

"Life is not as good as eight out of ten things. Many things cannot be perfect. Brother Di, don't care too much!" Zhang Zong saw that Di Renjie was still a little regretful, so he persuaded him that if Princess Ying died of illness due to pregnancy, even if Zhang Zong was asked to go for an autopsy, no problem would be found. Unless it was sent to a professional forensic doctor in later generations, the cause of death could be found.

"Brother Zhang, you are younger than me, but you are more open-minded than me. In comparison, I seem a little stubborn." Di Renjie is also a smart person. He smiled freely when he heard Zhang Zong's words, but at this time he finally let go of the questions in his heart for the time being.

After chatting for a while, Di Renjie had official duties, so he got up and said goodbye. Zhang Zong also sent him out. In the afternoon, Xue Shao ran into the house excitedly again, pulled Zhang Zong to the study and said excitedly: "A great thing, my uncle finally made a decision!"

"What decision?" Zhang Zong asked anxiously when he heard this. The case is no longer allowed to be investigated. After all, there is a scandal of such a big life. If it continues to investigate, it may be revealed, and the royal face will be difficult to protect by then. However, an explanation must be given in this case, otherwise Princess Changle will definitely not be willing to give up.

"The Queen of Heaven has been thinking for three months after she is closed and has copied Buddhist scriptures to pray for Princess Ying and her son!" Xue Shao said word by word, and she seemed to feel relieved when she looked at the expression on his face.

"This... what kind of punishment is this?" Zhang Zong shouted dissatisfied when he heard this. He was just thinking about his mistakes behind closed doors and copying Buddhist scriptures. This kind of punishment is too light.

"Don't worry, I haven't finished talking yet!" Xue Shao was interrupted and said again, "In addition, my uncle also issued an order to prohibit Liu Yizhi, Yuan Wanqing and others from entering the palace, and there is one more ruthless in the end!"

"What?" Zhang Zong asked anxiously again. Liu Yizhi, Yuan Wanqing and others were the so-called North Gate Bachelor. They were used by Wu Meiniang to seize power from the prime minister. Although Liu Rengui later suppressed the North Gate Bachelor after he returned, Li Zhi's ban on them from entering the palace, which is equivalent to forcing Wu Meiniang to contact his followers, which is also a very heavy blow to her.

"Hehe, that's the order that people arrest Duke Zhou Wu Chengsi in the palace and beat him hard in front of Princess Changle and others!" Xue Shao also smiled proudly at this time.

"Wu Chengsi? Isn't he the queen's nephew? Why did he beat him?" Zhang Zong couldn't make a turn for a while.

Wu Chengsi's father was Wu Yuanshuang, the half-brother of Wu Meiniang. However, their mother and daughter were bullied by Wu Yuanshuang's brothers, so after she became powerful, she demoted all Wu Yuanshuang's brothers from the capital. However, later, she might feel that she was alone and lonely, so she transferred back two nephews Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi. Among them, Wu Chengsi inherited Wu Meiniang's father, the Duke of Zhou, the Wu Shishi, and also served in the secretary's supervisor. She was usually trusted by Wu Meiniang.

"Brother Shi, why are you confused? The Emperor and the Queen are on par, so you can't be punished, so you can only be replaced by someone else. My uncle is reluctant to beat Cousin Hong and other sons, so he can only arrest Wu Chengsi and beat him up, which is to relieve Princess Changle." Xue Shao explained again.

Zhang Zong finally realized when he heard this. As the saying goes, beating a dog depends on the owner. Although Wu Chengsi is being beaten now, Wu Meiniang's face is being stripped of Wu Chengsi. As for Wu Chengsi, it is not unfair. The wealth of their Wu family was originally all dependent on Wu Meiniang, and now it is worth being beaten for her.

However, if Zhang Zong is the eldest princess Changle, he may still feel unwilling to give up. After all, although he has sacrificed Wu Meiniang's face, it has no substantial harm to her. Although the North Gate Bachelor cannot enter the palace, he is still active in the court and can still become Wu Meiniang's minion in the future.

But there is nothing I can do if I am unwilling to accept it. After all, Wu Meiniang is the queen, and Li Zhi cannot really attack the person beside her, so Princess Changle may have to bury her resentment in her heart.

Thinking of the above, Zhang Zong couldn't help but sigh, then looked at Xue Shao and asked, "Where is Princess Changle accepting this result?"

"There is no way to accept it. My daughter and grandchildren are dead. It is impossible to really kill the queen to avenge their mother and son. And my uncle can do this, so my grandmother can only lead her daughter's body back to bury with tears." Xue Shao sighed helplessly at the end. The more he understood the darkness in the palace, the less he wanted to have too many involvement in the palace. For example, he did not want to agree to marry Taiping.

"Why is Li Xian the eldest princess who took the body away?" Zhang Zong asked in confusion when he heard this.

"Not mentioning that Li Xian is a coward. Even though he knows that Princess Ying already has his child, he has not shown up. Moreover, Princess Ying has been deposed by the Queen before, so Princess was taken back for burial by the eldest princess." Xue Shao said with disdain when Li Xian mentioned it.

Zhang Zong was speechless when he heard this. Li Xian was so frustrated. Li Hong had a straight frustration with Wu Meiniang because of Helan Minzhi. As a result, Li Xian was fine and did not show up from beginning to end.
