Chapter 70: Mutation
Because of Qin Yunyi's sudden pestering, Qi Zongwen stayed in Ronghua Palace for a few days, and after Qin Yunyi was able to lie down and sleep quietly, Qi Zongwen returned to Tianqing Palace and did not call anyone to serve for a while.
You have to recuperate for a few days.
So the situation is that the new concubine has been settled for fifteen days, and His Majesty has not yet summoned any new concubine to bed.
There was a lot of discussion in the harem, "Aren't these people liked by His Majesty?"
"What do you know? Didn't you see that Your Majesty was in Ronghua Palace a few days ago? Someone who noticed it said, "Your Majesty always has to rest for two days after staying in the Ronghua Palace, and there are still people who have been to the palace with the concubine who don't know? ”
"What do you mean by that?" someone wondered.
"You're not a big yellow girl, don't you understand?" said the man with a smile, "I ask you, how many times a night do you come when you serve Your Majesty." ”
"Isn't it all once?" said a little nobleman, who answered weakly, "Your Majesty got up and went to cleanse himself when he was done, and I was sent back." ”
"That's why the concubine is a goblin. Pretending to be profound, "Your Majesty has summoned several people to serve you in the night of the concubine, so Your Majesty must not rest." ”
In fact, most of them are not so exaggerated, but Qin Yunyi also knew that it had been a little too much in the past few days, so he asked the internal food division to stew several soups and send them over.
Qi Zongwen asked her what was wrong, she said it was okay, but she didn't look like she was okay, Qi Zongwen went back to Tianqing Palace and asked Wei Hu to check the potential background of this group of show girls, her background was naturally innocent after the preliminary examination, but to see if there was a potential relationship, especially related to the concubine.
It was only the concubine who started to go wrong that night, and it must have something to do with the concubine.
Wei Hu investigated for two days and reported, "The sister-in-law of the concubine Cui's and Cui Jieyu are from the same family." ”
Qi Zongwen's eyes lit up, "After the death of the Cui family, what is the situation of the Cui family, you go to investigate, focusing on whether they have malicious intentions towards the concubine." ”
"Yes. ”
Wei Hu asked Lu Yingcheng to go to Qinghe to investigate the matter, Lu Yingcheng complained bitterly, he was in a class with the boss, and he had no time to eat and sleep when he was tired, and now if he didn't line up with the boss, he would be instructed to go out of Beijing.
"I feel like the boss is targeting me. Lu Yingcheng said.
"Pack your things and go. The colleague said, "You don't know how much Your Majesty values the concubine, so you should have done it earlier, otherwise you will be remembered as a dereliction of duty." ”
Qi Zongwen went to Ronghua Palace, and Qin Yunyi pinched his shoulder as if flattering, "Didn't you scare Your Majesty." ”
"Cui Jieyu, is it your sister-in-law's sister?" Qi Zongwen saw that she didn't want to say, so he asked directly. "It's all because of her that you've been wrong these days, haven't you had any more nightmares?"
"Thanks to Your Majesty, there are no nightmares. Qin Yunyi put his arms around his neck and leaned on his shoulder and said, "I'm not sure, and I haven't asked him, so I didn't tell Your Majesty." ”
"Then you're going to keep her. Qi Zongwen said, "I knew that she had this identity, so I wouldn't keep her." "Lest you see it and think of the old things, and you can't be happy.
"Even if she's sister-in-law's sister, it doesn't matter. Qin Yunyi said, "She was sent to the palace by her parents, obviously she also wanted to have a future, and I don't want to cut off other people's future." ”
"Fortunately, she's just a Jieyu, as long as you don't want to see her, she can't dangle in front of you. Qi Zongwen said, "If you hurt her again in the future, I will let her out of the palace." ”
"What a domineering man. Qin Yunyi smiled and said, "Fortunately, I like it." ”
During the Dragon Boat Festival, there is a tradition of sending five poisonous sachets to each other in the palace, Qin Yunyi got up early and wore a colorful rope ring on his hand, which was regarded as a festival, and the ones sent by the palace and the Ronghua Palace were all handled by the palace maids, so she didn't need to ask.
It was supposed to be an ordinary happy festival, but at noon, His Majesty suddenly fainted, causing panic in the harem of the previous dynasty, and the imperial doctor diagnosed His Majesty, saying that His Majesty was poisoned.
But this news came out the most worrying, the queen couldn't go to Tianqing Palace, and she sat in Ditai Palace in a panic, "You say, Your Majesty, if you can't wake up this time." ”
". Chunzhi said loudly, "Your Majesty will be fine, don't scare yourself, at such a very moment, you must take care of the harem, don't let Your Majesty wake up disappointed." ”
"Pass on the instructions of the main palace, the palaces are closed, and if there are people who wander outside for no reason, they will all be sent to the internal punishment department. The queen shouted.
After a while, she muttered again, "If Your Majesty really can't afford it, Concubine Xian's son will succeed her." "There are grandchildren, but there are no grandchildren.
For the first time, the queen really felt how empty her queen was without a son.
Qin Yunyi got up when he heard the news, "Then is Your Majesty awake now?"
Miao An shook his head, "The imperial doctor only said that it was poisoned, and it will take some time to prepare the antidote pill." ”
"Is it serious?" Qin Yunyi said.
"The queen didn't let her go to the Ditai Palace, such as what is the situation in the Qing Palace today, no one knows. Miao Qing said, "How is this good?" ”
"Miao'an, you hurry up and go to the Tai Hospital, you don't need to do anything, just see if you can find out if the situation in the Tianqing Palace is good or bad?" Qin Yunyi said, "What kind of medicine the imperial doctor takes, the Tai Hospital knows." "You know who to go to.
"The slave and maid will go. ”
Qin Yunyi sat on the chair with a distracted face, "How can you be poisoned?"
". Miaoqing has other worries, "Your Majesty stayed in Ronghua Palace yesterday, and today I also went to the court from Ronghua Palace. ”
Qin Yunyi's eyes widened to look at her, how could His Majesty's poisoning have anything to do with her, how could she poison His Majesty?
But she looked at Miaoqing, who was bowing her head, and knew that His Majesty was poisoned today, and the place where he was yesterday and today needed to be suspected, "Call Mu Chengzhou over." ”
"Yes. ”
Qin Yunyi remembered that it was Miao Ji who was waiting for His Majesty to change his clothes this morning, and she asked her, "Is what Your Majesty is wearing today different from usual?"
"The dragon robe, the crown hat, the morning beads, and the shoes and boots are all the same as usual. Miao Ji nervously recalled and said, "By the way, because today's Dragon Boat Festival, Your Majesty, like Niangniang, wears a colorful jade rope in his right hand and an extra five-poison sachet." ”
"This five-poison sachet, did you make it yourself, or did you come from somewhere else?" Qin Yunyi asked, the sachet of the Dragon Boat Festival will especially put mugwort and calamus, she doesn't like that smell, so it's just that the five poisons are embroidered on the purse, and there are still ordinary spices in it.
"It's all done by yourself. Miyoki said.
"Who did it?" Qin Yunyi asked, Miaoji was in trouble for a while, "Everyone did it, and now I don't see the sachet, and I can't remember who made it." ”
"Gather all the sachets you have made, exclude them, and see whose ones Your Majesty is wearing. Qin Yunyi said.
Mu Chengzhou entered the palace, Qin Yunyi asked the palace maids to go out before saying, "Your Majesty stayed in Ronghua Palace yesterday, and went to court from Ronghua Palace today, I am confident that Ronghua Palace has nothing to do with His Majesty's poisoning, but others must not suspect it, before others come to check, I hope you will check Ronghua Palace up and down." ”
"Whoever is wrong is immediately locked up, no matter who it is. ”
"Yes. Mu Chengzhou bowed his head and said.
Mu Chengzhou is His Majesty's person, whether she finds out or not, it is her attitude.
Miao An is trotting all the way back, "Niangniang." ”
"Why did you come back?" Qin Yunyi got up and asked.
"Before the slave maid arrived at the Tai Hospital, he ran into the apprentice of the Tai Hospital, and he said that now he can't find out what the cause of His Majesty's poison is, and most of the Tai Doctors have gone to Tianqing Palace. "Imperial Physician Yuan also went to Tianqing Palace, even if she went to Tai Hospital, she couldn't find anyone who could ask anything.
"Now an hour or two has passed, and the cause of the poison has not been found. Qin Yunyi asked with raised eyebrows.
Miao An nodded.
Qin Yunyi turned around twice in place, looked up and asked, "Did the Queen Mother go to Tianqing Palace?"
Miaoqing had been paying attention to the voices outside the palace walls, and shook her head when she heard the words, "The Queen Mother went to Tianqing Palace, and she should have passed through Tianqing Palace." ”
"Go and invite the Queen Mother to Tianqing Palace. ”
"Also, when I went to invite the queen, I said that I was waiting for her in Tianqing Palace. Qin Yunyi made a decision in an instant.
". Miao Ping said worriedly, "If the outside of the Qing Palace is heavily guarded today, and it is clear that no one will be allowed to enter or leave, what can Niangniang do even if she goes to Tianqing Palace?"
"Anyway, I can't wait here. Qin Yunyi said.
"I would like to see what reason he has to prevent His Majesty's ladies from coming to His Majesty at this time. ”
Ronghua Palace is close to Tianqing Palace, Qin Yunyi was stopped by the soldiers after walking to Tianqing Palace, "Zhao Xiang has an order, no one is allowed to enter." ”
The armor of these people was glowing with cold light, the head of the red tassel spear was bloody, cold and terrifying, Qin Yunyi glared at him, "If this palace insists on coming forward, what will you do?"
"If the concubine insists on moving forward, she can only offend in the end. ”
Qin Yunyi stared at his eyes, step by step, step by step.
The two forbidden soldiers had to be forced to retreat, "Guifei Niangniang stop, don't be embarrassed anymore." ”
"Okay, this palace doesn't embarrass you, you go and call out the person who can call the shots. Qin Yunyi stopped and said. At this moment, her Ling Ran's face was sharper than a sword.
The commander of the forbidden army hurriedly came out, clasped his fists and saluted, "It's very time, please don't embarrass the last general." ”
The queen had only arrived at this time, and she didn't want to come for a second time, but she thought about what if Qin Yunyi went in, so she sat down and walked over again, and when she saw that Qin Yunyi was really stopped outside the hall, her heart was relieved.
She walked in and was about to let Qin Yunyi take care of the overall situation and not mess around here, when she heard Qin Yunyi question the commander of the forbidden army, "This palace asks you, when the first emperor died, were there any harem concubines during the period?"
Everyone was shocked by her bold statement.
"Qin, do you dare to curse Your Majesty?" said the queen angrily.
Qin Yunyi only looked at the commander of the forbidden army, and the commander lowered his head, "This matter is not the same thing as the collapse of the first emperor, don't mess around here." ”
"Why isn't it the same thing?" Qin Yunyi asked. "Your Majesty's life and death are unknown now, except for the courtiers, but there is not even a single internal dependent, is this how it should be?"
"You call Zhao Hongan out, this palace wants to ask him, what is his intention?"
