Chapter 198: Novelty Box, Mysterious

Wei Mingchun was exiled to Qianzhou, where the climate was gloomy and cold, and his pampered body and bones could not stand it, so he wrote in November that he was ill. The servant asked for an order to transfer him from the hard labor courtyard to a separate courtyard for recuperation, but after the excerpt was handed over, it was suppressed for a long time, and when Emperor Shou saw it, it was already Layue. Emperor Shou was unspeakably disappointed with this son, but fortunately, he still remembered that he was of royal blood, gave amnesty, and was still exiled, and specially allowed him to cultivate in a separate courtyard.

After Queen Liu found out, she was naturally in a hurry, but now that the Liu family was not in the capital, she couldn't find out any news, and she was so anxious that she couldn't even sleep for a good night's sleep.

After entering the wax moon, Kyoto was even colder, and Queen Liu tossed like this, and soon fell ill.

After her illness, she still didn't care about her body, she missed Wei Mingchun all day long, and she almost didn't drink a sip of the medicine prescribed by the doctor.

If it goes on like this, even an iron man can't stand it!

Fu Rongyue couldn't help but sigh: "The matter on the eldest prince's side is not a day or two, why is Niangniang still so worried?"

"Niangniang is in the palace, there is no mother's family, and the eldest prince is not as good as back then, now he is a concubine who does not even have the title of prince, what good doctor can take care of him?" not to mention Niangniang, even the slaves and maids also feel ......" The maid said and sighed heavily: "I'm afraid that Niangniang, mother and son will never see each other again." ”

"You can just say these words in my ear. Fu Rongyue sank her face: "Don't mention a word in front of Niangniang, so as not to annoy her, do you hear it!"

"Yes, the princess forgives her sins!" the maidservant saw that she was angry, and hurriedly bowed down to plead guilty.

Fu Rongyue turned her head, not wanting to listen to anything more, and stepped forward to gently help Queen Liu up. The servant girl came to her senses at this time, and trotted forward to help.

Queen Liu opened her eyes, a pair of eyes that entered the water had long lost their brilliance, and she was completely decadent, she was a little in a trance, but she still recognized Fu Rongyuelai, took her hand and smiled: "It turned out to be Princess Ling." ”

"Niangniang, are you feeling better today?" Fu Rongyue glanced at her hair that had been draped down and hid a lot of gray, and couldn't help but think of her face when she summoned her when she first arrived in the capital in the middle of this year. Although her youth is no longer there, Queen Liu's beauty has not diminished with time. Now...... It's really old!

Queen Liu weakly tugged at the corners of her mouth: "What can be good or bad, this body bone, so be it." By the way, King Ling heard that he can't come back for the New Year, so you have to prepare some food for him. His Majesty has favored King Ling over the years, and that child has not been spoiled, I am afraid that he will not be able to endure the hardships of the northwest. ”

Fu Rongyue listened to her speak in a gentle manner, all of which were the earnest advice of the elders to the juniors, while observing her expression carefully, seeing that she still looked tolerant and compassionate between her eyebrows, she couldn't help but sigh a little.

No wonder Emperor Shou loved Concubine Hui all his life, but he had a lot of respect for this queen, and the queen's personality was indeed gentle and tolerant.

However, it was probably because of Queen Liu's tolerance that Shen Guifei was arrogant to herself, right?

Fu Rongyue couldn't bear to see her sad and haggard, so she nodded hurriedly and said: "Don't worry, the housekeeper in King Ling's Mansion told me early this morning, and the things prepared for King Ling were also sent, even if he is not in Kyoto this year, he will have a good life." It's you, your body, you are so weak, if you let the prince who is far away in Qianzhou know, I am afraid that I will be distressed to death, not to mention, but I will miss it day and night. I heard that the eldest prince is also sick, and the mother should work harder to take care of her body and not let the eldest prince worry too much. ”

"Hey, Chun'er......" Queen Liu mentioned Wei Mingchun, her eyes flashed with her mother's sourness, and tears fell down: "If this child is willing to be obedient, where will he ......?"

"Niangniang, it's all over!" Fu Rongyue didn't want her to keep thinking about it here, so she hurriedly changed the topic: "Niangniang, the medicine is cold, let me feed you a sip?"

Empress Liu frowned, but finally nodded: "Okay." ”

The maidservant showed a grateful look, and hurriedly brought the warm medicine on the table and handed it to Fu Rongyue's hand.

Fu Rongyue fed Queen Liu a small spoon by spoon, and Queen Liu looked at her intently, feeling a little sad in her heart.

When Fu Rongyue first entered Beijing, she had thought about letting Wei Mingchun marry Fu Rongyue, but unfortunately the child didn't like it later, so she gave up. Thinking about it at this time, although the birthmark on Fu Rongyue's face is a little scary, but if you look closely, her facial features are exquisite, and her temper is too good to say, it's a pity that she can't become her daughter-in-law!

A bowl of medicine was quickly drunk, Fu Rongyue helped Queen Liu to lie down, and accompanied her for a while, until Queen Liu's medicine came up and she was drowsy, she got up and prepared to walk away.

As soon as she moved, her hand was grabbed suddenly, and when she turned around, she saw Queen Liu with her eyes open, and said to the maidservant with a smile: "It will be the New Year in a few years, and I am afraid that I will go to the adult banquet with this body and bones this year." In previous years, there was a custom to reward some New Year's gifts for new daughters-in-law, and this year is no exception. Bao'er, go and bring the gift I prepared for Princess Ling, and when you see her today, give it. lest you not see it that day, and you can't give it if you want to. ”

The girl called Bao'er was busy with her blessings, left quickly, and brought back a box after a short time and called it into Fu Rongyue's hands.

Before Fu Rongyue unfolded, she heard Queen Liu say: "I heard that this is a trick produced in Jiangnan this year, leave it for you to play." ”

There was originally a box in the box, a total of seven layers, each layer was composed of small square fragments, and there were some miscellaneous patterns on the fragments, which were pieced together on four sides to touch the mechanism and open the second box. After the second box is opened, it is still necessary to complete the four-sided puzzle before the next layer can be opened. What's in the smallest layer is not known because no one has opened it yet.

Some time ago, Fu Rongyue saw that the pothos was also playing, but the quality was not as high as that given by Queen Liu, so she thanked her for her kindness, and then came out of Queen Liu's palace.

This thing is very charming, and when it came out of the palace, the pothos held the box and played with it, and did not stop until he got into the carriage.

However, the pothos was smart and quickly filled the picture of the first box, she pressed the mechanism, and with a soft click, the box opened.

The pothos took out the next box and couldn't help but smile: "Miss, the slave maid thinks that only young people like to play with these things." I didn't expect that there was this in the queen's palace, and I gave it to the young lady. ”

As the saying goes, the speaker is unintentional, and the listener is intentional, Fu Rongyue stopped, opened her mouth a little confused, but didn't say a word.

There was a huge doubt swirling in her mind.

After Wei Mingchun was exiled to Qianzhou, in order to avoid suspicion, Queen Liu did not leave the gate and stayed in her palace every day. How can such a person know that this box is made in Jiangnan, and it is a very popular entertainment tool today?

It's a bit weird!

Fu Rongyue looked at the green pothos' eyes and said slowly, "What did you just say?"

The slave said, I didn't expect this to be in the palace, and the queen gave it to the young lady. Pothos blinked, looking completely unincomprehensible.

Fu Rongyue even held her breath: "It's not this sentence, the previous one." ”

The slave said that the slave thought that only young people liked to play with these things. Green pothos understood this time, and after repeating it, her face also changed.

Fu Rongyue sighed: "You are right, this is something that only young people play, how can there be it in the queen's palace? This thing must have been given to Queen Liu by someone else." But why did Empress Liu pass it on to me? The point is, how did Empress Liu get this thing?"

"The slave doesn't know. Green pothos shook her head, she couldn't help with the things in the palace.

Fu Rongyue muttered to herself for a while, and then stopped talking, she thought of someone in her mind.

Back at the Meiguo Mansion, Fu Rongyue immediately went to find Mei Xiangrong and told her about Queen Liu, Mei Xiangrong listened to it, and only said after a while: "Could it be ...... Although the Liu family has retired, the place where the Liu family settled is not Suzhou, but is it not in the south of the Yangtze River? Could it be that this thing was given to the queen by the Liu family? I have to ask if anyone from the Liu family has entered Beijing recently. ”

He walked out quickly, letting Fu Rongyue go back to the room first, and he left the mansion himself.

In the evening, Mei Xiangrong came back, and as soon as he came back, he went straight to the Xiangxiang Pavilion and said straight to the point: "I heard it all, didn't that young lady of the Shen family, Shen Fangfei, marry He Fangluo? I heard that this He Fangluo's aunt is from the Liu family, so the Liu family also came to congratulate her." It was Liu Heng, the second son of Liu Guogong, who came. Liu Heng was targeted when he entered Beijing, but the secret pile said that he did not enter the palace, and some of the gifts he gave when he came were all sent to an official of the Criminal Department. ”

"Criminal Department?" Fu Rongyue couldn't help but repeat.

Mei Xiangrong nodded: "It's the Criminal Department, a chief department, called Cai Mao or something." In the past, this person seemed to be very close to a son of the Liu family. ”

"Oh, I see. A trace of uneasiness flashed in Fu Rongyue's heart, and she always felt that there was something mysterious waiting for her after this incident.

Mei Xiangrong patted her on the shoulder: "I know you're worried, but there are some things that can't be done quickly." ”

"I'm not in a hurry. Fu Rongyue looked up at Mei Xiangrong and smiled: "I heard that Shen Guifei is tossing and choosing a lovely concubine for King Zhao, but I don't know how well I am prepared, have I found it!"

"When I met Shen Guifei today, didn't she say anything?" Mei Xiangrong smiled.

Fu Rongyue shook her head: "I didn't say it, and I didn't leak any breath." ”

"The more this happens, the more ideas come to mind. Mei Xiangrong looked at Fu Rongyue: "You have to prepare in advance." There are not many unmarried women in Beijing who are of the right age, and Wei Mingyu really can't afford it. This time I chose the concubine, I was very worried about Yan Shan, for fear that His Majesty's heart would be soft, so I agreed. ”

"Sister Yan Shan is a person with ideas, if you don't believe it, Your Majesty will wait and see. Fu Rongyue pursed her lips and smiled.

Mei Xiangrong had no choice but to sigh and look at the sky outside, it was going to snow again, there was really no peace in the capital for a day......
