Chapter 77: Destroying the Bed
Early the next morning, when Wei Qian came back from Qingning Palace, she smelled a faint fragrance in the house.
The so-called colorless and odorless is only relative, and to ordinary mortals, this aroma is imperceptible. But Wei Qian's facial features are keen, and she is vaguely aware of clues.
This aroma is not harmful to the female body, but it has only one use - to kill sperm. Even if you are reluctant to conceive, there is a great chance of a slippage.
Of course, Wei Qian didn't know the purpose of this aroma, but she felt it in the dark, and stood at the door of the outhouse and refused to enter.
The white cloud marten in her arms suddenly exploded, jumped on the table, stared at Wei Qian's bedside and squeaked.
"Huh?" Xiangling was surprised: "Today's spices are very large, can't Mink stand it?" The five-colored wooden incense ding on Wei Qian's table rises with green smoke, and in it is placed Wei Qian's commonly used refreshing spices, which can increase the effect of visualization and concentration.
The white cloud marten is psychic, and it can detect things that mortals can't detect. Wei Qian clapped her hands, and Bai Yunmarten jumped into her arms again. Wei Qian sneered: "Think you can cover the smell with my cinnamon powder?" Hugging Bai Yunmink, he turned around and walked out of the house: "Xiangling, you go to my box and mix Danrong Borneol, Liuxiang Aconite, and Qingying Bailan on a Qu Ge www.biquge.info." ”
"This ......" Xiangling was stunned, Wei Qian's spices are precious, among which Liuxiang aconite is produced in Nanyang, Danrong borneol is the essence of a kind of herb refining in the snowy region, and Qingying Bailan is more precious, which is the secret treasure of the fairy family given to her by Xuanyun. It is an incense powder made from Breitling flowers.
"Can these spices be confused?" Xiangling muttered in her heart, and went to the apse treasury to find out Wei Qian's spices.
Pouring out the spices that had been lit today, mixing the essence, seeds, and pollen in a qu pavilion www.biquge.info burning, and suddenly a strange smell spread throughout the house, and the palace ladies ran out of the house one after another.
Evian Qiyun saw that Wei Qian's face sank like water, and she was stunned in her heart, standing next to her and not daring to speak.
After waiting for a while, the strange smell inside suddenly turned into a light aroma, and the aroma that the sable felt at first became more and more intense.
Hong Chun frowned, she had been by Wei Qian's side for many years, and of course she knew the strange smell produced by the mixture of these three aromas. But now there is a new change in taste, indicating that there is also a spice medicine in the house.
Since they didn't prepare it, could the person who prepared this kind of thing still have good intentions?
"Who's in charge of adding incense today?"
The palace maids around her all ran to Wei Qian's side, and when they saw their own Niang Niang Feng's eyes glaring angrily, their hearts trembled, and Qiyun trembled and said, "It's Evian." ”
Evian walked out of the column and stubbornly said: "Today is the slave maid adding incense." ”
"What do you mean by the fact that the spices are so heavy today?"
"Two days ago, Sister Xiangling said that Niangniang slept shallowly, and she selfishly wanted to add more to calm her mind."
"Calm your nerves? It's trying to drown out the smell of other spices in the house, right? Say, "Who cleaned up the bed today?" ”
A few palace maids looked at it, and their eyes fell on Evian.
"Still a slave."
In the end, serving Yuexu, Wei Qian said softly: "No one else has come in?" No one took advantage of your absence to touch the things in the main palace? ”
All of a sudden, Evian knelt in front of Wei Qian.
"It seems that there is no need to say more about this palace, you admit that you did it yourself?"
"Hongchun, you take the two palace maids back and send her to the court, so that the queen can dispose of it." Wei Qian was excited, although he knew that there were many spies around him, but he didn't expect to dare to do it at this time.
After sweeping the crowd, Wei Qian said: "I don't understand this palace, after the female official system in the court, it all depends on the idea of this palace whether you want to be promoted or not." In this way, how dare you betray the Lord? Did someone take advantage of your family, or did someone else offer you a better price? ”
The situation on Wei Qian's side attracted the attention of others in the palace. At present, there are four people in Yongfu Palace, Bai Su, Shi Qinglan, Ni Yan and Qi Qiurou.
According to the level after cutting, these are all talented people.
Seeing that Wei Qian was furious, she hurriedly came over to check what was going on.
Bai Su smiled: "Sister, this is ......" fixed eyes on Evian: "But Evian, this girl is not doing things according to her wishes?" ”
"It's nothing, it's just that she moved her sister's mattress and added something that shouldn't be put there. You should look back carefully, so that you don't know if you're being harmed. ”
The faces of several talented people changed slightly, and at the same time they thought of the bad things.
Ni Yan was furious, stepped forward and pointed at Evian and scolded: "You, who is the instigator to dare to do something in my Yongfu Palace?" ”
Several people also smelled the strong fragrance in the room, covered their mouths and noses, and frowned.
"I don't live in the palace today." Wei Qian touched the white cloud mink, the mink snorted comfortably, and shook her tail to show her strength to Wei Qian.
Wei Qian's face softened, "If it weren't for the shrewdness of this ermine in this palace, I'm afraid it would have really allowed others to succeed." ”
"Someone, go and send the bed of the main palace to the imperial dining room as firewood. This kind of bed that contaminates things, this palace will never touch it. ”
Bai Su was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Sister, this bed is your happy bed." ”
Burning the bed is unlucky.
"What do you mean?"
"Send it to the Tai Hospital, let the Tai doctors check it, and then press it down with incense. This matter is not easy to make a big fuss. ”
Wei Qian is a newcomer, even if she knows that others are plotting, what can she do? can only honestly suffer this loss and secretly investigate.
"But is this my means?" Wei Qian smiled faintly and ordered someone to move the happy bed out, deliberately creating a movement for others to know. And she ordered Bai Su and others to guard the palace gate and ran out of the palace gate by herself.
"Yongfu Palace is closed tonight, if the emperor comes, no lanterns are allowed." After speaking, go to the Ayaqi Hall to find Wen Xiuyi.
This time, Bai Su exploded: "What is this?" She herself is not comfortable and does not let us serve pets? ”
Shi Qinglan and Bai Su were working against each other every day, and then they sneered: "What, you still want to serve pets today?" Don't see if you can get pregnant. How many eyeliners are there in Yongfu Palace? Even my sister was recruited today, how do you know that there is no problem in your room? ”
Bai Su's face changed, and Ni Yan said, "Go back and check and see if there is anything in our house." Anyway, I'll move out in a few days, and then I won't have to stay in Yongfu Palace. "But is it safe to move out? Although she left under Wei Qian's hands, would the other mothers be easy to talk to?
The four of them were worried and dispersed.
In the Ayaqi Palace, Wen Xiuyi was reading, and suddenly heard a report: "Concubine Ning has arrived." ”
hurriedly went out to greet him, only to see a fiery red cloud in his arms: "Sister, sister has something to ask for." ”
"Something?" Wen Xiuyi welcomed Wei Qian in: "Do you need my sister's help with anything?" "According to Wei Qian's current favor on the Queen Mother's side, why won't she look for herself, right?
Wen Xiuyi, but fell out of favor early for many years.
"I want to stay at my sister's side tonight. Don't dare to disturb my sister, just prepare a side hall. ”
"Staying with my sister?" Wen Xiuyi and Wei Qian have been close during this time, but they haven't reached this point yet, right?
"If you want to come and live, of course my sister welcomes it, but you are also the head of the first house, and it is unreasonable to live in the side hall." Wen Xiuyi shook her head: "Why did you suddenly have this idea?" ”
Wei Qian said what she had done.
"Nonsense! Burn the happy bed, you can figure it out! Wen Xiuyi frowned, and his tone was a little heavier: "The wedding bed has a hundred years of good intentions, where do you burn the wedding bed and put your majesty?" In the future, Lao Yan will fly separately, which is too unlucky. So saying, he ordered someone to stop the burning of the bed.
Then, the person who pulled Wei Qian: "You are shallow in the palace and have heavy spirits." Others only slightly calculate you, and you are so resistant. Is it difficult to go back and burn the bed every day to play? ”
Wei Qian's experience, Wen Xiuyi also experienced it at the beginning, quietly cleared the things, and then found someone to find out clearly, and buried it in her heart. didn't dare to say that there was such a movement as Wei Qian.
"You are so reckless, you will rarely be used as a gun in the future."
Wei Qian smiled and coquettishly said to Wen Xiuyi: "Sister only said that you won't let me live, if you don't let me live, my sister can go to the cold palace for one night." ”
"This is getting more and more outrageous, how can you and I live in that place in the cold palace?" Wen Xiuyi saw Wei Qian's resolute attitude and was helpless, so she asked her to clean up the mattress: "You will stay here tonight to accompany your sister, and by the way, you will take your sister to study ink and write." ”
Whether it's a candle night talk, or a red sleeve fragrance, these two people have the intention of forming an alliance after staying for one night. At least in the eyes of outsiders.
Wei Qian and Wen Xiuyi can sleep in the same bed, which is enough to show that the close relationship is still above the blood sister Jia Yuanchun.
Wen Xiuyi responded, Wei Qian was overjoyed, and chatted and laughed with Wen Xiuyi in the hall. In the palace, she attracted everyone's attention because of her movements.
Empress Dowager Chen was originally discussing the matter of the palace court with the queen, but at this time, the female prime minister hurriedly came in to report: "Concubine Ning ordered someone to bring her palace maid Evian to the court, saying that it was a big mistake and let the court deal with it." And ......"
Empress Dowager Chen raised her eyebrows: "And what?" ”
"Concubine Ning sent her wedding bed to the court, saying that it was used as firewood for the Shangshan Bureau."
"Burn the bed?" The two most noble women in the palace were stunned.
"Nonsense!" Empress Dowager Chen was furious: "Since entering the palace, I have never heard of the destruction of the bed!" ”
Immediately said to the female eunuch beside him: "You go and stop the actions of the people in Concubine Ning's palace, and let Concubine Ning come to see the palace!" ”
Find someone to ask again, and know that Concubine Ning understands because there is something on the bed.
Questioning and said to Queen Wang: "Concubine Ning said that she feels that there is a problem with the bed, what do you think?" ”
"Erchen thinks that someone has used personal means." Queen Wang replied cautiously, shocked in her heart: I just started this morning, and I found out at this time? This Concubine Ning is really not an ordinary person.
"Dirty means, hehe." Empress Dowager Chen said: "You have been in charge of the harem for more than a year, and no one in the harem has given birth to an heir, but this kind of thing has broken out?" Looking up and down at the queen and queen, he was furious: "If you can't manage this palace affairs, this palace will be handed over to someone else!" ”
"Erchen is terrified!" Queen Wang hurriedly apologized, and Empress Dowager Chen said in a cold tone: "Get up." Concubine Ning is angry, today she found out that there is a problem with the happy bed, this matter must be investigated to the end, this palace wants to see who is harming the dragon heir! ”
Wei Qian caught people, and Hongchun deliberately followed to prevent Evian from committing suicide, and it didn't take long for Ye Ting to find out the confession.
In Ningshou Palace, the Queen Mother summoned four concubines, nine concubines and one palace concubine. Up to the Queen, down to Baolin, gathered together. Wei Qian and Wen Xiuyi sat together, and the two listened quietly.
In the hall, the maid reported to the concubines: "According to Evian's report, this matter seems to be instructed by the people of Mingquan Palace. ”
Mingquan Palace, the dormitory of Concubine Wu.
Everyone looked at her, Wu Guifei's face turned pale, and she hurriedly knelt down to avenge her grievances: "The concubine is wronged!" ”
"Wronged? What did you do? You don't know? Queen Wang slapped the table: "Come on, close the Mingquan Palace, let Evian recognize the person, and arrest that person to see the palace!" ”
A maid went out to give an order, and soon came back in a panic to report: "Qi Yu Niangniang, that palace maid has jumped into the well and drowned." ”
Suicide in fear of sin? The corners of Wu Guifei's mouth were bitter, what did she say, she couldn't wash it herself.
Empress Dowager Chen's face was wrong, staring at Wu Guifei, thinking that no one in the palace had been pregnant for a year, and all the resentment was sprinkled on Wu Guifei.
"The matter...... This matter is really not done by the concubine. "Although Wu Guifei wants to attack Wei Qian, she hasn't had time to do it yet!
"Yes, the Queen Mother, maybe it wasn't my sister who did it, but the people in my sister's palace who wanted to help my sister get angry." Deng Zhaoyi seemed to be smiling, and added oil and vinegar to the side.
Wu Guifei's eyes widened and she glared at Deng Zhaoyi angrily.
"What, what else do you want to do? Attack Concubine Deng? Empress Dowager Chen angrily reprimanded: "Come on, remove her golden seal, rush back to the palace and close it, and wait for His Majesty to do it again." ”
"The Queen Mother." Wei Qian suddenly came out of the queue at this time and knelt beside Wu Guifei: "Niangniang, whether this matter was done by Sister Guifei or not depends on two questions." ”
"You're going to intercede with her?" Empress Dowager Chen said: "She did it in the palace, doesn't she know?" ”
"If it's really her, why let someone in her palace come forward, and why let Evian identify it?" Wei Qian patted Wu Guifei on the back: "Change places, if the concubine wants people to do things, she will never use people from her own palace." It won't let people see who they are. And she was instructed by someone, is the palace maid of Mingquan Palace really the person of the concubine's sister? ”
"Can Evian betray the Lord? Is that man a faithful man? Wei Qian said with a smile: "Borrowing the palace people of the concubine's sister to deal with the concubine is just a plan to kill two birds with one stone." ”
"Then you say, who did it?"
"The concubine is ignorant and does not dare to infer the murderer. But if you think about it carefully, even if Sister Guifei wants to start, she shouldn't be so blatant. ”
Empress Dowager Chen shook her head, do you think the palace is full of smart people? Some fools are provoked by others and will harm others.
"My cousin Yuanchun and I are related by blood. That medicine is nothing more than cutting off people's heirs and harming Long Zhong. My sister is not pregnant, and if my sister gives birth to a dragon son, wouldn't it be a happy event for the Wei Jia family? This matter must have nothing to do with my cousin. Wei Qian looked at Wen Xiuyi again: "The sister of the Wen family has a very good relationship with the concubine, and she didn't think about it." But who it is, the concubine is ignorant and can't be seen. ”
Wu Guifei suddenly raised her head, glared at the queen mother, and gritted her teeth: "The status of the nine concubines is shallow, where is the qualification to install eyeliner in this palace?" Although Concubine Xian has status, but the relationship with Concubine Ning's blood relationship, thinking about it, there is only a sister! ”
"Ridiculous!" Queen Wang said angrily: "What does this palace have to do with this at this time? Concubine Wu, you did such a selfish thing, and you still dare to doubt this palace? ”
The two of them insisted on their own words, Jia Yuanchun thought silently, and slowly spoke: "Queen Mother, it's easy to find out about this matter, if it was done by the Queen Mother or Wu Guifei, is it only for my sister?" The concubine dared to ask the queen mother to be the master of the six palaces to distinguish loyalty and adultery. ”
Investigate all the palace arrangements, and whoever does not have them in the palace will be suspected.
Empress Dowager Chen bowed: "Come on, let the Eight Shang Palaces of the Upper Courtyard and the Sixteen Servants all take action, let's come to one palace and one palace!" ”
