"Wu'er, you go and talk to Ningshuang......" Bao Xi called Wu'er to the front to teach the opportunity.

Wu'er's eyes lit up after listening to this. Without hesitation, he went to find the frost.

Mrs. Jiang smiled, looked at Bao Xi with satisfaction, and said, "You kid, you've grown up!"

When you grow up, you will protect yourself.

Before Mrs. Jiang left, she went to the side hall of Linhua Palace.

Bao Yao still has a competitive heart in front of Bao Yao, but she is very respectful in front of Mrs. Jiang, an elder. Because the other party united with Bao Xi to rescue her from the palace, and because of those magical rumors on the other party, she was in awe.

"The concubine comes to see Mrs. Tai!"

"I'm here to sue you, and I can give you another credit. But you should know why I'm helping you. Madame de doesn't ask for anything from you, but I don't. It's time for you to make a move!" As long as Mrs. Jiang is not in front of Bao Xi, she will look noble and awe-inspiring.

"The concubine body knows! The concubine body will not disappoint Mrs. Tai. ”

Bao Yao thinks that Mrs. Jiang helps Bao Xi, it should be because she is a little younger than herself, so she is easy to handle! Otherwise, it is clear that both of them are from Bao Country, and the conditions are similar, and her family background is better than Bao Xi's, why does Mrs. Jiang support Bao Xi?

Bao Yao has the heart to hook up with Mrs. Jiang, if she can get the other party to recognize her and turn around to support her, she will not be alone here. Therefore, for the things that Mrs. Jiang asked, even if she didn't actually want to do it, she would show her full support. What's more, bringing down Empress Shen is also what she wants to do the most.

Tomorrow a medical officer surnamed Wu will come to see Mrs. De, and the medicine he prescribes has a safflower in it, and it cannot be given to pregnant women. If you go to expose him, you will also make a contribution in front of His Majesty. I'm sure you won't let me down. Mrs. Jiang smiled and looked at Bao Yao Dao.

The heirs of the prince of Zhou are thin, this is a well-known thing. Therefore, Bao Yao mistakenly thought that after she was pregnant last time, she would do something to introduce Bao Yao to share her favor with herself and divert Shen Hou's attention. If the child can be kept, he will be able to inherit the throne in the future, and he will almost be a prince, which is much more meaningful than King Zhou's short-term favor.

King Zhou's concern for Bao Xi's fetus is more than before. The credit given to Bao Yao by Mrs. Jiang is not a small credit. Even if you can't get back the concubine, you will be rewarded heavily, and you can consolidate your current favor. Sure enough, it is useful to please Mrs. Jiang!

"The concubine has thanked Mrs. Tai! Mrs. Tai's great kindness, and the concubine body is remembered in my heart!" Bao Yao immediately knelt down and thanked him.

"No need! I hope you are a person who understands!" Mrs. Jiang achieved her goal, and did not want to stay for long, so she raised her feet and was about to leave.

"Madame Tai, wait a moment!" Bao Yao hurriedly called out to her.

"What's the matter?" Concubine Jiang said, but obviously didn't have much patience. Except for her own daughter, she is not very patient with others.

Bao Yao hurriedly took out a richly carved box from the inner room.

"Mrs. Tai, a small gift, not a tribute! It's just a little bit of the concubine's heart! Please accept it!"

"No need!" Mrs. Jiang turned around and left. What she wants is a favor from the other party, not any property.

"Please take a look at it before leaving!" Bao Yao threw herself in front of Mrs. Jiang and held the box to block her way.

Mrs. Jiang was speechless, took it and opened it, and couldn't help but gasp.

This box is about one foot long and six inches wide, and the appearance is gorgeously carved, but there is no overly exaggerated decoration. This set of jade pendants is plain Huang, with blue and white jade Huang as the main body, and hundreds of red and blue agate beads and diamond-shaped jade tubes are embellished, which is really dazzling and gorgeous.

The most luxurious and solemn neck accessory for women in this dynasty is the Qihuang Lianzhu Double Dragon Pattern Jade Pendant, which can only be worn by the Queen Mother. The queen wears Liuhuang's. Mrs. Jiang, as a Mrs. Tai, can wear six or five Huang. But you don't have to have an identity to wear it, you also have to have a force behind you. Otherwise, who will build this thing for her? This is not the standard configuration of the palace concubine.

Mrs. Jiang has always been transcendent in the harem, and when the first king favored her the most, she never got a single thing of this. It can be seen that its precious Cheng dù. I didn't expect to get a Sihuang today. Although it is not Wuhuang or Liuhuang, this is a combined jade pendant, and there are suitable materials to make a jade Huang in the future. The value is also quite valuable.

Mrs. Jiang was dazzled by this gift for a while. can casually take out such a gift, it seems that this Bao Yao's family background is quite good, and at least it is the home of the minister in Bao Guo. The daughters of the family have all been sent out, even if they may just be concubines, it also shows that this Bao country is indeed so weak that there is only a shell left.

But this is not the key, the key is to accept this gift now? Mrs. Jiang thought about it for a long time, but decided to accept it. Of course, a gift will not be as important as a daughter, but if you accept it, you will feel at ease to form an alliance with yourself. If one day in the future, the contradiction between Bao Yao and Bao Yao really sharpens, and he can detect it in time.

But Mrs. Jiang's acceptance is in Bao Yao's eyes, and she is willing to help support herself. She thought about it for a while, and asked two maids from Mrs. Jiang to serve by her side. This is what it means that she is willing to be a pawn on the bright side under her control.

Bao Yao believes that people like Concubine Jiang must want to control more power. As long as she is more obedient than Baoxi, she will train herself to be her spokesperson on the surface. What Bao Yao wants is for Mrs. Jiang to make full use of the influence of her mythology to help herself. The two use each other to take what they need.

On the second day, Bao Xi pretended to be unwell and asked Wu'er to invite a medical officer, and it was indeed a medical officer surnamed Wu.

"Madam, your fetus is unstable, so I will prescribe you a pair of medicine to stabilize the fetus! Doctor Wu smiled flatteringly, and the little triangle's eyes flashed.

"Just let your people cook it for me. Bao Xi sat lazily on the couch and said, glancing at Wu'er next to her.

Wu'er took advantage of the lack of attention and quietly retreated.

"This ...... Okay!" Doctor Wu had already asked his apprentice to prepare the safflower-infused medicine. Of course, the saffron will not be written on the medicine list he prescribes, and when the time comes, let the apprentice send the packaged medicine, even if something happens, through the hands of others, he can shirk it.

But now Mrs. De asked her people to help her boil, and Medical Officer Wu couldn't help but agree. Because this is one of his jobs in itself, and it will appear to be a thief.

Doctor Wu closed his eyes, thinking of the way Shen Hou said that he would definitely be able to make him retreat, he was ruthless and opened his eyes.

With a fake smile on his face, Doctor Wu came to Bao Xi with a medicine bowl and handed it to her with his own hands.

"Madam, this is your medicine, it is better to drink it while it is hot!"

"There's a Laowu medical officer!" Bao Xi took the medicine bowl, and raised it to drink, her eyes drifting to Bao Yao.

"Wait a minute! I don't smell this medicine right!" Bao Yao took Bao Xi's eyes and stepped forward to stop him.

At this time, King Zhou strode in.

"What's wrong?"

"Your Majesty, Mrs. De is not feeling well, so she asked the medical officer to catch some medicine. But the concubine smells the wrong smell of this medicine!" Bao Yao saw that King Zhou was coming, and he was even more energetic.

"What's wrong?" said King Zhou with a frown.

"It smells like safflower. Safflower can replenish blood and invigorate qi, and ordinary women take it to have the effect of nourishing the skin, but it is not good for pregnant women. The concubine is coarse and well-versed in medical science, and someone in the family has used it, so she knows its taste. Can you let the concubine taste it and look at the medicine residue?" Bao Yao said with a serious matter.

The medical officer Wu on the side heard this, his forehead was bruised, and his cheeks were red. He said hesitantly, "Your Majesty...... As far as the lowly knows...... Safflower doesn't smell like ......."

It's true that safflower is not good for pregnant women, but it doesn't smell at all, is it good? How did this concubine smell it? How did she seem to know about it before?

Bao Yao listened to the words of Medical Officer Wu, and his face turned white all of a sudden.

"That's probably because you're not good at medicine!" Bao Xi said leisurely beside him.

Although on closer examination, what Doctor Wu said was actually right. But who cares? Anyway, except for the medical officer Wu, everyone here knows that today's bureau is used to clean him up.

"Your Majesty, there must be something wrong with this medicine!" Bao Yao took the opportunity to bite the Wu medical officer.

"Your Majesty, I'm ......" Medical Officer Wu still wanted to defend himself, but he didn't have a chance.

"What are you...... Come on, call all the medical officers on duty and see what's going on?" King Zhou said with a solemn face.

"Yes!" someone immediately responded.

Doctor Wu was so anxious that he wanted to jump to his feet. But there was nothing he could do. In the current situation, it is impossible for him to even slip away quietly. In a fit of rage, Doctor Wu secretly hated Shenhou who forced him to do so. He is already old, and in a few years he will be able to retire peacefully. If it weren't for the fact that Shenhou was threatening his family, how could he get involved in such a thing?

Beads of sweat as big as soybeans rolled down his forehead. Without waiting for the other medical officers to come, Medical Officer Wu fell to his knees with a thud.

"Your Majesty, it's a crime to be lowly!"

In the inner hall of the Linhua Palace, the door was closed, and King Zhou's fierce eyes forced him to look at the kneeling figure below. Eiwa himself stood guard outside the door of the inner sanctum.

"You say, it was Shen Hou who instructed you?" he originally thought of Shen Hou. Although he always felt that Shenhou had a disobedient heart, he didn't expect him to dare to interfere with his heirs so blatantly.

"Yes! I was coerced by him after being confused for a while. It's just that my family is innocent, please leave them a way to live!"

King Zhou's eyes narrowed, and there was a dangerous glint in his eyes.
