Chapter 28: Saffron

The next day, Yue Shuqian walked slowly in the imperial garden, followed by the timid clouds, not far away in the lake pavilion was sitting a graceful and luxurious concubine, only to see this concubine dressed in a rose-red embroidered peony palace dress, with five phoenix hairpins on her head, probably, Yue Shuqian knew her position, however, although she approached Dugu Mingcang for a purpose, it was appropriate to speak low, but in the face of these warblers Yanyan, she was not interested, so Yue Shuqian directly chose to skip it.

"Auntie." Yunluo pulled the hem of Yueshu's shallow skirt, and said in a small voice, "Auntie, where is the concubine over there, don't we go over to say hello?" Yunluo's head was low, as if he was afraid of the concubine.

"Don't be afraid, Yunluo, just don't you see it? Let's go. Obviously, Yunluo, a weak little rabbit, was taken aback by Yue Shuqian's remarks.

Yue Shuqian took a few steps forward, but saw two concubines hurrying over. This ran into the opposite side, and there was no escape, so Yue Shuqian followed the clouds and made a salute, Pei Zhaoyi and Li Meiren waved their hands lightly when they passed by, and walked to the Huxin Pavilion.

"Stop." Yue Shu was stunned for a moment, stopped and turned around slowly, and looked, weren't they Pei Zhaoyi and Li Meiren who had just passed? Pei Zhaoyi and Li Meiren walked in front of Yue Shuqian, looking at her appearance, today Yue Shuqian is wearing a pink palace dress, and the whole person looks fairer and lovely, her hair is only combed in a simple bun, and a jasper hairpin is inserted, but the whole person still looks beautiful.

"Where are you the palace maid, why haven't I seen you before?" Li Meiren's voice is relatively gentle, and her joy and anger are invisible, from this point just now, she can already conclude that this Pei Zhaoyi is a brainless, but this Li Meiren is a scheming person.

"Back to the two little masters, the slave and maid are serving in the imperial study." When Pei Zhaoyi heard this, she knocked over the five-flavor bottle in her heart, it was difficult for her to see the emperor on weekdays, but this palace maid could see it every day. Moreover, it looks so charming.

"Then why don't you wait well, why are you wandering around the Imperial Garden?" Pei Zhaoyi was not as gentle and polite as Li Meiren, and roared directly. Li Meiren took Pei Zhaoyi's hand.

"Since she is a person in front of the emperor, Sister Zhaoyi's temperament is like this, there is no malice, please aunt don't blame her. Is there anything you might need your aunt to help you with in the future, and please don't refuse? Pei Zhaoyi looked at Li Meiren in surprise, but she really didn't understand what it meant.

"If the little master has any orders, the slave and maid will definitely do it." Yue Shuqian obediently saluted, anyway, I got the soul jade and left, no matter what you have to do with me.

In the days to come, Li Meiren was so glad that she said such a sentence and saved her life.

"Okay, then please ask my aunt to please, by the way, auntie, when passing by the Ripple Pavilion, please ask my aunt to tell the palace maid in sù, and ask her to bring the sent-son Guanyin I prepared." Yue Shu nodded lightly, and then Li Meiren pulled Pei Zhaoyi and left, Yue Shu looked at Li Meiren lightly.

"She has palace maids by her side, why do you have to tell me." Yue Shu muttered shallowly.

"Maybe she thinks it would be better for the palace maid around her to stay by her side." Yue Shu was stunned for a moment, looked at Yunluo behind her, and secretly made a decision in her heart.

Yue Shuqian walked and walked, and when she was struggling with whether to send a message, a palace maid in palace clothes, holding a plate in her hand, a blue and white porcelain cup was placed in the middle of the plate, and there was a blue and white porcelain bowl next to her, and hurriedly walked past Yue Shuqian.

"Wait." The palace maid's body trembled, and a few drops of cold sweat broke out on her head. Yue Shuqian slowly paced in front of her, she saw the jade plate on her waist, and saluted respectfully, "Where are you going, I have something to ask you for." ”

"Auntie, please tell me something." The palace maid always buried her head, and Yue Shuqian felt a little weird.

"You go to the Ripple Pavilion and tell the palace maid Li Meiren inside and ask them to send Guanyin over." Yue Shuqian still felt weird, and let someone else do it.

"How can that be good, I have the bird's nest that the queen gave to the concubine in my hand, and the mother told me to deliver it immediately, otherwise it will be cold." Yueshu frowned lightly and took the bird's nest.

"Go ahead and say it, I'll send it." Yue Shuqian gave the porcelain cup to Yunluo again. The palace maid nodded and immediately turned around and left, but unfortunately no matter how careful Yueshu was, she didn't see the palace maid's sinister expression, "Yunluo, you find a palace maid to help you send it, just say that you have a stomachache, let her help send the bird's nest rewarded by the queen mother to the concubine Niangniang, there must be a reward." Yunluo looked at Yue Shuqian, and her expression was a little weird.

"Wouldn't it be nice for the slave to send it?" Yue Shu glared at her lightly.

"Don't do what you shouldn't do, do what I tell you to do." Yun Luo nodded curtly, and hurriedly took the porcelain cup and walked to the Huxin Pavilion.

Dugu Mingcang looked at the door of the imperial study, this girl, why is she late again, thinking about it, she has a headache again, what should I do with this concubine's child, her mother's family is powerful and powerful, and she already has some high achievements, if she has another prince. Wouldn't that ...... Dangerous.

"Your Majesty." At the door, it was the belated Yueshuqian, and Dugu Mingcang nodded, with a smile on his face that he hadn't even noticed.

"Get up, Grinder." Yueshu held the ginseng tea in her hand, looked at the smile on Dugu Mingcang's face, and raised her eyebrows, what's wrong with this shemale today, what are you laughing at for no reason, is it because the concubine is pregnant? Sure enough, men are not a good thing, Yue Shuqian thought of this, and threw the teacup directly on the table, so frightened that Dugu Mingcang trembled, and was about to blame, but saw Yue Shuqian grinding ink there with her mouth curled.

She's angry, there may be something, I shouldn't blame her, just remind her.

No, no, no, you are the Son of Heaven. How can it be held in the palm of a woman's hand.

But this woman has no father and no mother, which is quite pitiful, and most importantly. She gave me a feeling that no other woman could give.

After some struggle, the smiling man who favored Yue Shuqian was victorious, Dugu Mingcang looked at Yue Shuqian, who was quietly studying ink, she was quite pitiful without a father and mother, but what is the feeling that others can't give. Dugu Mingcang looked at Yue Shu like this for a long time. At this time, something big happened in the Huxin Pavilion.

Xu Guifei put down the porcelain bowl in her hand, wiped her lips, and Yunluo received the porcelain cup into the plate.

"A palace maid passed by and handed over this bird's nest to the slave maid, saying that it was rewarded by the queen's mother, and Aunt Yue asked the slave maid to take it. Xu Guifei looked at Yunluo, feeling a little weird, and even felt that this palace maid seemed to have a sense of déjà vu.

"The Aunt Yue you are talking about is the new female official in the imperial study." Xu Guifei looked at the armor on her left hand and asked.

"Exactly." Xu Guifei broke the golden armor, she had heard of it this month, and she was afraid that she was also a vixen. In this case, it should have been removed earlier. Suddenly, Xu Guifei's stomach hurt.

"Ahh Xu Guifei screamed in surprise, feeling that there was water flowing out of her lower body, and the palace maid beside Xu Guifei hurriedly held Xu Guifei's hand, "Qing'er, it hurts, the stomach in this palace hurts so much, quickly, give me the imperial doctor." Xu Guifei grabbed Qing'er's hand with one hand and tightly grasped the clothes on her stomach with the other.

"Ah, it looks like there's blood." Pei Zhaoyi screamed, immediately stood up and took a few steps back, raised her right hand in surprise and pointed at Xu Guifei's dress, Li Meiren was really startled, stunned for a moment, and then turned her head to look at Yunluo, Yunluo's body trembled slightly, and she muttered something.

"Someone, someone, send the concubine back to the palace and arrest this palace maid." The Imperial Forest Army, which arrived immediately, grabbed Yunluo, and the porcelain cup in Yunluo's hand fell to the ground, shattering the card.

"It's not me, it's not me, beauty, the slave and maid are wronged, the slave and maid are just sent as instructed." There are many meanings, for example, there is an abortion pill in the bird's nest, and another example, someone asked her to poison it.

The Imperial Forest Army hurried to the imperial study and whispered a few words to Zhou Chuande. Zhou Chuande immediately entered the imperial study, "Your Majesty, the Imperial Forest Army came to report, saying that the concubine Niangniang was bleeding in the Huxin Pavilion. Dugu Mingcang immediately raised his head, even Yue Shuqian was startled, and then, thinking of Yunluo, Yunluo, you must do what I instructed, don't be implicated.

"I'll take a look, and you'll stay in the study." Yue Shu was stunned for a moment, what are you going to tell me what to do there, and then, Dugu Mingcang strode out of the imperial study, in Yue Shuqian's eyes, how anxious he looked.

Dugu Mingcang strode into the Huanqin Palace, "The emperor has arrived!" Zhou Chuande's male duck voice immediately resounded throughout the Huanqin Palace, and Queen Chen took all the concubines to salute one after another, and Dugu Mingcang directly skipped it. Empress Chen bit her lip, and a trace of yin poison flashed in her eyes.

"Ahh A miserable scream came from the inner room, which made several concubines present tremble, Queen Chen, Concubine Zihui, Concubine Lin Shu, Concubine Wu, Li Meiren, Pei Zhaoyi, and Concubine Cheng De all stayed in the hall, and Empress Chen slowly paced to Dugu Mingcang's side, "Your Majesty, Sister Guifei will be fine"

"You don't take care of the concubine if she is pregnant, how can something happen if you have an accident, look at what this harem is managed by you!" Empress Chen buried her head and bit her lip tightly.

"It's the concubine who is incompetent, and the concubine will correct it." The dancing concubine covered her mouth and smiled, and Queen Chen immediately glared at her, and the dancing concubine turned her head.

"But the concubine heard that the concubine sister will bleed only after drinking the bird's nest you rewarded." Queen Chen's face changed, she gave it away, but she didn't poison it, she wasn't so stupid, Dugu Mingcang turned her head and looked at Queen Chen violently, if that's the case, then it's good, you can use the charge of murdering the emperor's heir to abolish the queen, Queen Chen was scared when she was stared at, and immediately knelt in front of Dugu Mingcang, so she didn't wolf bèi.

"Your Majesty, the concubine is innocent, and the concubine did order the imperial dining room to stew bird's nest and send it to the concubine's sister, but the concubine was not poisoned." A trace of hatred flashed in Dugu Mingcang's eyes.

"Your Majesty." Several imperial doctors in the inner room ran out one after another, kneeling in front of Dugu Mingcang, Queen Chen looked back at several imperial doctors, and suddenly felt bad in her heart, "Your Majesty, the ministers are incompetent......" Dugu Mingcang breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but his face was completely unacceptable, and Queen Chen fell directly to the ground.

"Tell me clearly, what do you mean? Go and save people! Dugu Mingcang's roar resounded throughout the hall, and Empress Chen was even more frightened in her heart.

"The ministers are incompetent, the concubine Niangniang accidentally ate a large amount of saffron, and the medicine stone is already ineffective, and the ministers also did their best to save the life of the concubine." Dugu Mingcang's body was crooked, fortunately Zhou Chuande held it in time, shook off Zhou Chuande's hand, Dugu Mingcang ran to the inner room, and sat on Xu Guifei's bed, Xu Guifei's face was pale, looking at the top of the bed with her eyes open, there was no light in her eyes. Dugu Mingcang stretched out his hand and grabbed Xu Guifei's hand.

"Phil." Tears flowed from the corners of Xu Guifei's eyes, and she slowly turned her head and looked at Dugu Mingcang tremblingly.

"Your Majesty, the child of the concubine." Dugu Mingcang buried his head slightly, and Queen Chen slowly approached the bed. Concubine Xu glared at her, and Empress Chen was also startled. Dugu looked at her.

"Queen, should you give me an explanation?" Empress Chen was so frightened that she knelt down in front of Dugu Mingcang.

"The concubine has always respected the queen mother as the mother of a country, and she loves her very much, why should the concubine harm the concubine's children."

"There is no palace in this palace, your child is not harmed by this palace, Concubine De has already gone to interrogate the palace maid who sent bird's nest to you, and there will be results soon, it is not this palace that harms you." Xu Guifei closed her eyes and wept silently, but the hand covered under the quilt was clenched into a fist.

"Ahh A scream resounded through half of the palace, and in the inner courtyard of the Punishment Division was a woman tied to a cross, with her head hanging down, her hair disheveled, and a few planks of wood in her waist.

"Concubine De, fainted." A grandmother looked at the people on the couch in the house, Concubine Cheng Defei picked the armor on her hand, her beautiful face was slightly distorted, she stood up and walked to the cross, stretched out her right hand and lifted Yueshu's shallow chin. A stained but still beautiful face appeared before her eyes.

"Hui'er, do you say she's beautiful?" Hui'er slowly paced in front of Concubine Cheng De, carrying an embroidered silk in her hand, and looked at Concubine Cheng Defei respectfully.

"Niangniang is the first beauty in the world, this woman must be less than one-ten-thousandth of Niangniang." Concubine Cheng Defei let go of Yueshu's shallow chin and snatched the embroidered silk from Hui'er's hand, and the startled Hui'er buried her head deeper.

"You're lying, take a good look, she's obviously more beautiful than me." Concubine Cheng De, please stroke her face. looked at Yue Shuqian, "Wake her up for me and continue to interrogate!" The two people beside Yue Shuqian immediately brought a basin of water. splashed directly at Yue Shuqian, and Yue Shuqian's hair was all together.

"Ahem, ahem." Yue Shuqian coughed up two mouthfuls of water, and slowly looked up at Concubine Cheng De, who was not far from her, Concubine Cheng also looked at Yue Shuqian, and the hatred in her eyes was self-evident, "You, why did you arrest me?" Concubine Cheng Defei heard Yueshu's breathless question. I couldn't help but laugh.

"Your palace maid has already been recruited, it was you who asked her to send the poisonous bird's nest to the Huxin Pavilion to Concubine Xu, right, why did you poison the child in Concubine Xu's belly, say!" Xu Guifei's child died, wouldn't that Dugu Mingcang be sad! Yue Shuqian couldn't react to what was going on, and remembered the sentence again: Damn, didn't you say that she shouldn't send it in person? It seems that she was killed, Yue Shu took a few deep breaths and mobilized her spiritual power to slowly repair the wounds on her body.

"Fart, I'm just entrusted by someone, why do you say that I was poisoned, there was a palace maid who said that she wanted to send the queen's mother's bird's nest to the concubine to go to the Huxin Pavilion, but she was uncomfortable, so I asked Yunluo to send it on her behalf." Concubine Cheng frowned slightly. If the queen is involved, then she will not be easy to deal with.

"You are still quibbling, come to someone, and give her a needle." Yue Shuqian closed her eyes and protected her body with her spiritual power
