Chapter 179: Brilliant Planting
Yuexiang glanced at Concubine De's face in the mirror, a hint of discoloration flashed in her eyes, and said with a smile: "Niangniang, the emperor still values Niangniang and His Royal Highness the most, and if there is such a big mistake, it is just a reprimand, why should Niangniang be angry?"
Concubine De's sharp nails slashed across the makeup surface of the red sandalwood, and the smooth and hard countertop did not leave a trace: "It is clear that the slut framed us, and how can we be willing to see the opportunity slip away from our hands?"
Yuexiang stood behind Concubine De, gently shook off the hairpin with a gesture, and said carefully: "But Doctor Ye is careful and careful, but there is no clue at all, even if the queen mother and the emperor are suspicious, they can't take that side of it."
Concubine De said unwillingly: "Is it difficult to swallow this dumb man alive?"
Unloading all the pearls, Yuexiang began to pick up the comb and comb Concubine De's long lacquered hair little by little, "Niangniang, Your Royal Highness is still busy looking for a capable doctor outside, and the eldest prince is said to be in contact with the people of the Yan family, but the surname Mu is about to heal the Queen Mother, think about it, this time we will both be pulled out by the concubine, although the concubine has no children, the slave maid heard that the queen intends to marry the Bai family's Miss Yan for the eldest prince."
Concubine De turned her head suddenly, her long hair was clutched in Yuexiang's hand, she groaned in pain, her face wrinkled but she didn't care about it, and said in shock: "What? Where did you hear that? Really? So Concubine Shu is about to stand on her side?"
She is arrogant, she has been favored for many years and has given birth to a personable son, even Queen Song doesn't take it seriously, how can she have a good relationship with the childless concubine?
Yuexiang hurriedly let go of her long hair in panic. "Mother forgiveness..."
Concubine De didn't care much, grabbed Yuexiang and said hurriedly: "Is what you said reliable?
Yuexiang avoided Concubine De's hand without a trace, and said with a smile: "The slave happened to hear what the lilac next to the eldest prince said. He also said that Miss Bai has a gentle temperament and is easy to serve."
Concubine De's face was pale, and a fierce color flashed on her gorgeous face without a trace of wrinkles, "What a Song queen! She actually concealed it so tightly, and this palace thought that she was ******** aiming at the An family.
The corners of Yuexiang's lips are slightly raised. The smile was fleeting: "Niangniang, we are not soft persimmons, the queen can use her hands and feet to destroy Niangniang's plan." We can do the same, we were victims before, and when the emperor is furious, he will not suspect Niangniang."
Concubine De was overjoyed. But the more I think about it, the better. If she repeats her old tricks, the emperor will not endure it anymore, if she does it cleanly, then buy the queen's people and give her some evidence of guilt......
Her mind was racing, and she was already giggling. The fair-skinned and silky hand stroked the delicate cheeks of Yuexiang, "Good girl." It's not in vain that this palace appreciates you like this, and that's a good point." She took out a red gold phoenix hairpin and threw away the moon incense, "I've rewarded you."
Yuexiang was overjoyed, holding the phoenix hairpin, her eyes were shining, "Thank you Niangniang for the reward, the slave maid should share the worries of Niangniang and His Royal Highness."
Concubine De Shengbao stared at herself in the mirror with a smug smile, she had already imagined the scene of Empress Song being degraded, and sneered for a long time: "Hmph, Queen, we'll see!"
Jun Zhanhai took a sip of the hot tea soup, and the sweetness of the fragrant orchid made him hum with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "When it comes to the craft of making tea, no one can match you."
Concubine Shuhao's wrist was lightly raised, her left hand held her sleeve, and poured the blue tea into the sweet white glazed tea cup like a thread, and the hot steam on the tea water surface was steaming, conjuring up a budding white orchid, like a dream, even the faint fragrance was faintly smellable, and said with a smile: "The emperor is used to drinking the tea made by the concubines, so he said this, so that others heard it, and the jokes about the concubines did not know the height of the sky."
Jun Zhanhai leaned on the carved fairy boy Shouweng chair in Hainan rosewood, rubbing the white jade dragon pattern wrench on his thumb, "You are always so modest, I just like you."
Concubine Shu smiled silently, but her lowered eyes flashed coldness and self-deprecation, and she only gently added tea for Jun Zhanhai, just as docile and considerate as she had been for many years.
Jun Zhanhai looked at Concubine Shu's side face, her eyes were a little dazed, and she sighed faintly after a long time: "In another half a month, it should be her jealousy, right?"
Concubine Shu's slender hand shook, and the tea splashed lightly on the table with red sandalwood circle foot carvings.Jun Zhanhai didn't notice it, and sighed with a memory: "Recently, I have always dreamed of her, and I still vaguely look like I was young, sitting under the west window and painting, and smiling at me......
Concubine Shu put down the teapot and hung her head to see the expression on her face clearly, but the hand in her sleeve was already clenched into a fist.
The room was filled with a sad and melancholy atmosphere, so depressed that it was almost impossible to move.The door was pushed open, and the dazzling light shone on Jun Zhanhai's slightly squinted eyes, he was almost furious, but he heard Zhang Degui's panicked voice, "Your Majesty, Concubine Niangniang, there is an accident on the Queen Mother's side, please Your Majesty, Niangniang hurry up."
Jun Zhanhai's angry words were blocked back when they came to his mouth, and he stood up and exclaimed, "What's wrong with the Queen Mother?" Concubine Shu also slowly stood up, but she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, it was finally time to come.
The atmosphere in Shouchang Palace is not good, the Queen Mother is sitting on the three-sided inlaid luodian carved pine crane prolonged red sandalwood Arhat bed near the window with a calm face, Le Yu is sitting sideways and holding her arm is comforting the Queen Mother softly, the palace maids and grandmothers in the room are silent, Mu Xueyi is dressed in white and Shi Shiran is sitting on the Nanmu chair, but she is not happy or angry.
Jun Zhanhai entered the door and saw this scene, he looked around, his eyes fell on a broken four-petaled azure glazed porcelain bowl on the ground outside, and the eyes of the yin owl lingered on the medicinal soup that had been splashed on the ground for a long time, "What's the matter?"
The Queen Mother didn't look at him, she didn't speak with a calm face, but Le Yu couldn't do this, she got up and blessed with the slaves and maids in the house, "Your Majesty, Concubine Niangniang Wan'an."
Jun Zhanhai raised his hand lightly, eagerly walked to the Queen Mother's side, and said anxiously: "Queen Mother, are you okay?"
The Queen Mother sneered, and the wrinkles on her face overlapped because of anger, "What's the matter?" Hmph, again and again, really think that the mourning family is a dead person? Emperor, if it weren't for Mu Gongzi's alertness, I'm afraid the mourning family would have died today!"
The Queen Mother slapped the armrest of Luohan's bed heavily and made a bang, obviously angry.
Seeing that the Queen Mother was angry, Jun Zhanhai had to turn his inquiring eyes to Le Yu. Le Yu understood, and bent her knees slightly before she said: "Back to the emperor, I have eaten today, the Queen Mother is ready to take medicine, who knows that as soon as it is sent to the lips, the Queen Mother coughed, and the decoction spilled out, because it was hot, the Queen Mother shrank her hand in pain, the medicine bowl was broken, and the medicine soup flowed to the ground.
The people in the house obviously saw that scene, listening to Le Yu's description, their bodies shook together, Jun Zhanhai and Concubine Shu were also shocked, Jun Zhanhai shook even more, if he hadn't been knocked over, the queen mother drank it....... he didn't dare to think about it again.
Concubine Shuhua's face turned pale, and she exclaimed: "How can this be? How can the Queen Mother's medicine be poisonous? This is impossible!"
When Jun Zhanhai came back to his senses, he was already gritting his teeth in anger, snorting heavily, his eyes were red, and he said angrily: "Check! From top to bottom, everyone who has been in contact with medicine, let me check it out one by one!"
A figure in a high-haired phoenix robe flashed in his mind, and a haze suddenly appeared in his eyes, "Go and call the queen, the concubines are here!
This obvious anger and wind direction made many people's eyes ripple, and the people in the palace, regardless of the master and slave, were the most good at looking at the direction of the wind and looking at their faces, so it was natural to see that Jun Zhanhai was a little dissatisfied with Queen Song.
Empress Song and Concubine An Guifei Xian, a high-ranking concubine, came quickly, and as soon as Empress Song came, she asked for guilt, "Your Majesty, it was the concubines who did not manage the harem well, which frightened the queen mother, the emperor was furious, and the concubines were guilty."
She is the queen in the end, even if Jun Zhanhai suspects her, before there is no evidence, it is still not good to be too embarrassed, and said lightly: "Get up, this matter must be investigated clearly, and give the queen mother an explanation!"
Empress Song lowered her eyebrows, "Yes, what the emperor said."
Concubine De was concerned and angry, but she smiled in her heart, "The Queen Mother's medicine is all tormented by Mu Gongzi herself, how can it be poisoned?
Mu Xueyi's expression was cold, "Today I went out of the palace to pick wild herbs for the Queen Mother to make a medicine primer, the Queen Mother is already very good, the new prescription needs a special medicine, fresh and earthy, and this medicine is cold and unknown to ordinary people, so I need to pick it myself.
Concubine De's voice froze, she closed her mouth knowingly, it seems that it is not appropriate to chase and fight now, it doesn't matter, take your time.
Jun Zhanhai raised his eyebrows, "Who made the medicine?"
Aunt Hongli trembled and was full of grief and indignation, "Yes, it's the medicine boiled by the old slave."
Jun Zhanhai was stunned for a moment and took a deep breath, but the Queen Mother said coldly: "Hongli is loyal to the mourning family, and will never poison the mourning family."
Empress Song actually nodded, "What the Queen Mother said is that Aunt Hongli will never be like this, so Auntie, has she ever left the medicine furnace today?" Or, has anyone ever approached?"
Aunt Hongli breathed a sigh of relief, frowned and tried to recall, "This, the old slave suddenly felt abdominal pain when he was boiling medicine, and he once left for a while and handed it to Lianrong to watch the fire."
Lian Rong was excited, and hurriedly knelt down and said: "What my aunt said is right, the slave and maid have never walked away when they looked at the fire.
Concubine De's beautiful eyes flickered, and she preemptively said, "Then when you were looking at the fire, did anyone come?"
"No one has come."
Aunt Hongli glared at Lian Rong fiercely, "After the old slave came back, he kept the medicine and boiled it and then put it in a bowl and brought it to the queen mother's house, and no one has touched the medicine in the middle." (To be continued.) )
