When Shen Yunyou walked out of the palace gate, Chi Jiyuan was waiting by the carriage.

"What do you say is wrong with the emperor? His attitude towards Concubine Yu was a little strange. Shen Yunyou really couldn't figure it out, the emperor was cold to Concubine Yu, but he seemed to have the intention of maintaining it.

"Isn't it awkward?" Chi Jiyuan guessed: "The emperor may not be able to let go." ”

Shen Yunyou looked up at him, and said in a long time: "It's not like it, will you be so awkward with me?" Chi Jiyuan was stunned for a moment before replying: "How do I know?

Shen Yunyou thought for a while, she really couldn't remember what it was like for the two to have an awkward relationship, after all, it was a matter of the previous life. She stared ahead for a long time, and suddenly asked for no reason: "Does the emperor know how to paint?"

"What is this...... Chi Jiyuan held his chin and recalled, and finally replied: "It doesn't seem like it will be, I don't have much contact with the emperor, and I have some things to deal with when I enter Beijing this time, so I have only seen him a few more times." ”

"Then does he like to collect paintings?" Shen Yunyou asked again, and Chi Jiyuan replied without thinking about it: "If he likes it, the whole world will know about it, and I don't know how many people will rush to present famous paintings." Since no one has mentioned it, it is probably not interested. ”

Shen Yunyou nodded, Chi Jiyuan said well, if the emperor really has this hobby, there is no need for her to inquire.

In the palace, after Concubine Yi and Concubine Jin had a quarrel, they followed the emperor to the study.

"Your Majesty, the concubine is a little excited today, but there is a reason for it, you can't blame me. She stepped forward and pulled the emperor's sleeve, the emperor did not move, but he did not blame, and Concubine Yi understood that he was not disgusted with herself at this time.

"It's all Sister Concubine Jin and Sister Concubine Yu who said some ugly things behind their backs, and the concubines are really angry, so they ......" Concubine Yi was very aggrieved: "If I hadn't heard other sisters mention it, I might have been kept in the dark, and everyone would have taken me for a fool!"

When the emperor heard this, he finally asked, "What did they say about you?"

"This ...... It's too ugly, and the concubines are afraid of dirtying the emperor's ears. Again...... When the concubine heard these words, she was sad and did not want to mention them again. Concubine Yi said and picked up a handkerchief to wipe the corners of her eyes, she couldn't let those words fall into the emperor's ears.

The emperor has always been tolerant of her, and this time is no exception, he pulled her over and said: "Of course it's wrong to talk about you behind your back, but Concubine Jin and Concubine Yu are both peaceful people, could it be that someone deliberately said this in order to provoke the relationship between you?"

"Impossible!" Concubine Yi blurted out, and found that the emperor's complexion was different, so she had to explain in a softened tone: "That sister will never deceive the concubine." ”

Seeing that she was so determined, the emperor didn't mention it again, but just persuaded: "Even if this matter is true, it shouldn't hurt the harmony, what can't you say well?"

Concubine Yi pursed her lips unhappily, she just didn't control her anger in the Sakura Country today, and she regretted it a little at this time. After the emperor softened his voice and persuaded a few words, she finally reluctantly discouraged.

Of course, Concubine Jin didn't expect the emperor to come and comfort herself, she sat alone in the room and didn't say a word. It was getting late, and I knocked on the door again.

"Niangniang, eat something!" She held some food in her hand, and Concubine Jin beckoned: "Come here!"

Youhan was very happy, she carefully put the things in her hand on the table, and then spoke: "Don't be angry, Niangniang, the body is the most important." Concubine Jin suddenly grabbed her hand: "Thank you for protecting me today." ”

"What did the mother say? You are the master, of course I have to protect you. Without thinking, Concubine Jin nodded and held her hand tighter.

Early in the morning of the second day, Youhan, as usual, sent porridge to Concubine Yu according to Concubine Jin's instructions.

Concubine Yu is not in good health, and Concubine Jin will personally cook porridge for her almost every morning and send it to the people in Concubine Yu's palace. She was very particular about this porridge, and even added a few herbs to it. Concubine Yu was weak, and after eating for a while, her complexion was really better.

"Put it down!" Concubine Yu saw that the little palace maid who delivered the porridge came again, so she pointed to the table, the little palace maid put down the porridge and left in a hurry, Yuan Mama walked over to take a look, and immediately frowned: "Niangniang, you don't care, this girl can eat secretly every day." ”

"The little girl is just greedy, and it's not in the way. Besides, Concubine Jin does so much every time, I can't finish drinking, and it's not bad for her to share it for me. Concubine Yu didn't care, but she didn't get up.

Mama Yuan brought the porridge over and said, "Won't Niang Niang drink it? Concubine Yu stretched out her hand to block: "I'm not very comfortable today, let's drink it later." ”

After that, she sighed heavily: "Isn't Yun You coming today?" ”

"Niangniang, Miss Yunyou only entered the palace yesterday, have you forgotten?" Mama Yuan reminded, Concubine Yu smiled self-deprecatingly: "I'm really old." ”

"Nonsense, Niangniang is not much older than Miss Yunyou. Mama Yuan's tone carried some reproach, she also hoped that Shen Yunyou would often enter the palace, after all, as soon as she was away, Concubine Yu looked so weak.

She had no choice but to put the unfinished kite on the table and persuade: "Niangniang, let's hurry up and make this kite, when spring comes, you can go kite flying with Miss Yunyou." ”

Concubine Yu finally became interested after hearing this, she got up and was about to walk over, when Yunzhu suddenly fell in: "Niangniang, out, something happened." ”

"What's wrong?" said Mama Yuan and handed her a cup of tea, "You can't be so frizzy all the time." ”

"Mother, mother, mother, dead, dead. Yunzhu ran too fast, and she was out of breath at this time, so Mama Yuan hurriedly asked, "Who died?"

Yunzhu couldn't help but slow down, she couldn't wait to say: "It's the little girl who delivers porridge every morning, she's dead." He said that he was walking on the road well, but suddenly he foamed at the mouth and died not long after he fell. ”

"That one is called Youhan?" Mama Yuan hadn't figured out which girl she was talking about.

"No, no. Yunzhu kept waving his hand: "It's the one in our palace, Youhan will give her porridge every day, and she always steals it." ”

Mama Yuan's face changed, and she asked again, "How did you die?"

"I don't know yet, I've been dragged to the autopsy, maybe it's a sudden illness. Yunzhu replied: "When she died, she happened to meet the queen's mother, and almost scared the mother to faint, I heard that the emperor already knew about it." ”

Originally, the little palace maid and little eunuch in the palace died, and it would not make any waves. But the little girl died in front of the queen, and the way she died was a little weird, so the emperor naturally wanted to investigate.

"Why did you die suddenly?" Concubine Yu was a little melancholy, just now the girl was still greedy and secretly eating porridge, and now there will be no one left. As soon as she finished speaking, the public banquet next to the emperor came over.

"Concubine Yu, the slave came to investigate on the order of the emperor. As soon as he finished speaking, Concubine Yu's father-in-law Li Ji greeted him and said, "Father-in-law, please." ”

Yan Ping nodded slightly, glanced at Concubine Yu's room, and finally landed on the bowl of porridge.

He picked up the porridge and sniffed it, then handed it to the person next to him: "Take this porridge back, let me find out what is in it." ”
