"Why be curious?" Lu Mingyue said with a normal face.

"Because, because, they don't tell us." Poetry said.

Lu Mingyue suddenly smiled, looked at Shiyu's aggrieved little face, and said: "They don't say that they have a reason not to say it, and when they want to say it, they will let us know." ”

Lu Mingyue didn't want to understand the meaning at all, with an indifferent attitude, on the other hand, Lu Mingyue also believed in Jinxin and Shimo, why should she worry about it.

"Oh." Shiyu didn't know or be curious when she saw Lu Mingyue, so Shiyu had to stop asking.

Mainly, Shiyu asked, Jinxin and Shimo didn't say anything, Shiyu always had a knot in her heart, when will she be able to untie it?

The Queen Mother has been investigating Concubine Li's affairs for a few days, and she seems to have some eyebrows.

Mama is reporting to the Queen Mother.

"Queen Mother, the slave maid found ......" Mama said to the Queen Mother one by one.

When the Queen Mother heard this, she was immediately furious.

"It's really two sluts, the mourning family loves them in vain on weekdays." The Queen Mother hated the appearance of iron but not steel, and knocked over the teacup at hand, the teacup broke in response, and the tea spilled all over the ground.

"The Queen Mother is angry." Mama immediately knelt down.

"You get up, the mourners are not blaming you, what are you doing on your knees?" When the Queen Mother saw Mama, she knelt on the ground and said to Mama.

"Yes." Mama got up.

"Go and bring them to the mourners." The Queen Mother commanded to Mama.

Mama went down, took people to "Yuxiang Garden" and "Yujiao Garden" respectively, and brought Ji Guiren and Meng Meiren to the "Shoukang Palace".

"The concubine sees the queen mother." Ji Guiren and Meng Meiren asked the Queen Mother for peace, they didn't know what the Queen Mother was looking for them, but when the two saw the atmosphere in the "Shoukang Palace", they also guessed one or two, and they were afraid that the East Window incident had happened.

"Do you know what the mourning family is doing when they come to you?" The Queen Mother calmed her temper and asked Ji Guiren and Meng Meiren unhurriedly.

Ji Guiren and Meng Meiren shook their heads: "The concubines don't know. ”

"I don't know? Daring! The Queen Mother suddenly had a seizure.

Ji Guiren and Meng Meiren were shocked, and they quickly knelt down and lowered their heads.

"Bring the stuff up." The Queen Mother instructed the palace people who were waiting on the side.

The palace man went down and brought something up.

"Look up and show the mourning family, is it your thing?" The Queen Mother ordered Ji Guiren and Meng Meiren.

Ji Guiren and Meng Meiren looked up at the two clothes that the palace people were holding in their hands, which were the clothes that the two of them wore most frequently recently.

"It's a concubine." Both admit that it is their own clothes.

"Since the clothes are all recognized, they are not recruited from the truth." The Queen Mother slapped the tea table and said sternly.

"The concubine really doesn't know what the Queen Mother is talking about?" Ji Guiren said with a blank face.

"Queen Mother, is it wrong for a concubine to wear a dress?" Meng Meiren said pitifully.

When the Queen Mother saw that the two of them were still stiff-mouthed, she asked them: "Smell it yourself, what does it smell like on your clothes?" ”

Meng Meiren sniffed the clothes and said, "There is a fragrance." ”

"A few days ago, the concubine and Meng Meiren brought some seeds of the ash tree from their hometown, crushed them, put them in the incense burner, and smoked these two clothes, just to refresh their minds." It seems to be a very common thing for Ji Guiren to talk about the source of the fragrance.

"Really?" The Queen Mother snorted coldly and disagreed.

"It's true, please see the Queen Mother." Ji Guiren knelt and kowtowed to the Queen Mother.

"Then you're all right, what do you do in these two clothes? Do you often wear this to run to the palace of Concubine Li? "The Queen Mother tested Ji Guiren and Meng Meiren.

"The concubine has been dizzy lately, so it's used to refresh herself." Ji Guiren explained.

"What about Meng Meiren? Are you also dizzy? The Queen Mother turned to look at Meng Ying.

Meng Ying hurriedly lowered her head and replied: "The concubine has been like this recently, presumably because she is a little unaccustomed. ”

"Nonsense! When you entered the palace, you were fine, but after so much time, you are not accustomed to the water and soil, you should be so easy to deceive. The Queen Mother was furious again.

"The Queen Mother is angry, what the concubine said is true." Meng Ying hurriedly kowtowed.

If it were on weekdays, the Queen Mother might have believed them with a blind eye, and now, this Ji Yuning and Meng Ying are separated by three or five times, you are a day, and I will go to Concubine Li's place every day, but if you are diligent, Concubine Li has an accident at this time, shouldn't it be strange.

"It's hard to talk about." Seeing that the two of them were not honest, the Queen Mother called the Imperial Doctor: "Pass the Imperial Doctor." ”

The imperial doctor who specially gave birth to Concubine Li came to the "Shoukang Palace".

"Minister, see the Queen Mother." The imperial physician asked the Queen Mother for peace.

The Queen Mother nodded: "Get up." ”

The Imperial Physician got up.

Before, Mama had already found these two clothes with the Imperial Doctor, but the clothes themselves were not harmful to the fetus, and Mama and the Imperial Doctor also thought that they had found the wrong one, but after all, the Imperial Doctor was sensitive to medicinal herbs, so he took the two clothes back and took a closer look, and found out that the clothes contained the seed extract of the ash tree.

The seeds of the ash tree have no effect on the fetus, but to the surprise of the imperial doctor, the ash tree grows deep in the mountains, and because it is very difficult to pick, not many people, especially laymen, know about it.

Moreover, the refreshing effect of ash tree is not as good as the medicine currently used on the market, and it has to be refined, which is very troublesome and time-consuming, and ordinary people will come into contact with it.

Ji Yuning and Meng Ying took great pains to ask someone to get the seeds of the ash tree, which must not be simple.

Coincidentally, the imperial doctor who served Concubine Li happened to have seen the ash tree in a medical book, so he had some impressions.

So the Imperial Physician specially went to visit Shi Yang, but Shi Yang was very reasonable to tell the Imperial Physician about the role of the ash tree this time.

At that time, the imperial physician also asked Shi Yang more: "Senior, has this ash tree affected the fetus under what circumstances?" ”

Shi Yang paused for a moment, glanced at the Imperial Doctor, and said, "In this way, there really is." ”

"What is it?" The Imperial Doctor asked curiously, but he was also nervous.

"Say, are you here to learn my medical skills?" Shi Yang suddenly stared at the Imperial Doctor suspiciously.

The imperial physician hurriedly explained: "The younger generation didn't dare, didn't dare, I just saw the ash tree in a medical book, and I couldn't get through the ash tree, so I came to ask the seniors for advice." ”

"That is, your medical skills are not perfect, and you need to learn more." Shi Yang taught the Imperial Doctor.

"The seniors are right, the juniors must study hard." The Imperial Physician humbly replied to Shi Yang.

Shi Yang saw that the imperial doctor's attitude was quite sincere, so he said: "The fragrance extracted from the seeds of the ash tree can't see the orange, and when you see the two, the fetus will be harmed." ”

The Imperial Physician nodded, indicating that he had written it down.

Taking advantage of Shi Yang's generosity this time to teach the imperial doctor medical skills, the imperial doctor asked other medical questions, but Shi Yang's face suddenly changed and rushed to the imperial doctor: "Okay, please go back, hurry up." ”

After repeated requests to no avail, the doctor went back to the hospital and tried them with the seeds of the ash tree and the oranges, and the medicinal properties produced were to invigorate blood circulation and dispel blood stasis, no wonder it could damage the fetus.

The imperial doctor went to ask the palace maid in the palace of Li Concubine again, and learned that Li Concubine has always liked to eat oranges, so it makes sense that Li Concubine showed signs of miscarriage.

The imperial doctor hurriedly talked to the grandmother beside the queen mother, and asked the grandmother to tell the queen mother.

Now, the Imperial Physician is standing in the Shoukang Palace.

"Imperial Doctor, come and see these two clothes." The Queen Mother asked the imperial doctor to come forward to check the clothes.

The imperial physician obeyed the order, and then replied to the queen mother: "Back to the queen mother, the minister smelled the fragrance of the ash tree seeds on the clothes. ”

When the imperial physician said this, Ji Guiren and Meng Meiren were a little panicked, ordinary people don't know about the ash tree, this doctor may know, but there is a trace of luck in their hearts, after all, the ash tree is not well known, and the medicinal properties of the ash tree are also incomprehensible to ordinary people.

"But what's the downside?" The Queen Mother asked the Imperial Doctor.

The Imperial Physician replied, "It can refresh your mind." ”

Ji Guiren and Meng Meiren breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.

"Still." The Imperial Doctor wanted to speak and stopped.

"But what?" The Queen Mother asked the Imperial Doctor.

"This thing can't be seen with oranges, otherwise it will be bad for the fetus." The Imperial Physician said.

"Queen Mother, Concubine Li has always loved to eat oranges, and since she became pregnant, oranges have always been supplied." The grandmother on the side said to the Queen Mother.

When the Queen Mother heard this, she frowned.

"Weichen suggests that you don't wear these two clothes to the palace of the little master of Lifei, for fear of affecting the fetus." The Imperial Physician continued Mama's words.

"The queen mother forgives the sin, the concubine really doesn't know that this thing will be bad for the concubine, the concubine is in the hometown before entering the palace, the mother is dizzy, it is the seed of the ash tree used, and the concubine does not know that it will be bad for the fetus with oranges." Ji Yuning kowtowed again and again to explain to the Queen Mother, tears already appeared in the corners of her eyes.

"The Queen Mother, the concubines don't know that Sister Li Concubine likes to eat oranges, and she doesn't know that this dress will be unfavorable to Sister Li Concubine, the Queen Mother is clear, the Queen Mother is clear." Meng Ying also hurriedly explained, tears streaming down her face, very pitiful.

Ji Yuning and Meng Ying knew what the Queen Mother was looking for them to do, it turned out that the Queen Mother really knew, but they couldn't just admit it, wouldn't they have to spend it in the cold palace in the future.

The Queen Mother saw that Ji Yuning and Meng Ying were still struggling to the death, so she said angrily: "You two sluts, you don't recruit the truth now, even if you are unintentional, but you almost hurt the emperor and grandson of the mourning family, this crime cannot be escaped." ”

The Queen Mother's words are powerful and indignant, no matter what, the Queen Mother will not let Ji Yuning and Meng Ying be confused so easily.

"The Queen Mother is clear, and the Queen Mother forgives her sins." Ji Yuning kowtowed heavily, and a few tears had already fallen from the ground.

Meng Ying trembled in aside, she was worried that once the Queen Mother was punished, she might be more than lucky.

"Say!" The Queen Mother asked again.

The two were silent for a while, but they still didn't speak.

The grandmother on the side gently reminded on the side: "I'm afraid the little masters are afraid to hear about the torture room in the harem, the little masters have fine skin and tender meat, and the slaves and maids can't bear to ......."

Before Mama finished speaking, Meng Ying cried and said, "The Queen Mother spares her life, the Queen Mother spares her life, the concubine said, said." ”

"Say it to the mourners, and say it carefully." The Queen Mother ordered Meng Ying.

Ji Yuning glanced at Meng Ying, Meng Ying seemed to understand, and said: "The concubine had a conflict with Concubine Li when she was in the palace, and then she was sent back by the monarch, and on the night she left, the queen called the concubine to ......."

Meng Ying began to make up some things, wanting to put all the blame on Lu Mingyue's head.

After Meng Ying finished speaking, she cried and pleaded guilty: "The concubine really didn't know that the ash tree and the orange tree together would harm the emperor's heir, and the concubine learned that she was going to be sent back to the palace, so she was often worried and dizzy. ”

"Then why did you just say that someone brought it from your hometown?" When the Queen Mother saw that Meng Ying was involved with Lu Mingyue again, she asked Meng Ying.

"The concubine saw that the queen mother seemed to be dissatisfied with the clothes, thinking that it was also the kindness of the queen of the country, so she didn't dare to say it clearly." Meng Ying explained, meaning that she really didn't know that the matter of clothes would be so serious at first.

"What about you?" The Queen Mother turned to ask Ji Yuning.

Ji Yuning also cooperated with Meng Ying and said: "The same is true for concubines, thinking about it, the queen of the country is also well-intentioned, but she has done bad things with good intentions." ”

Ji Yuning and Meng Ying pushed this matter to Lu Mingyue between the lines, they are really a pair of calculating people.

In this way, Concubine Li and Lu Mingyue will not get any benefits, and Ji Yuning and Meng Ying are only guilty of not knowing the truth, which is not a big deal.

"The seeds of the ash tree were also given to you by the queen of the country?" The Queen Mother looked at Ji Yuning and Meng Ying.

Both replied, "Yes." ”

The Queen Mother stood up angrily: "The mourning family knows that the woman has no good intentions, come here, go to the 'Huafeng Palace' for the mourning family to search, search out, and see how the mourning family treats her crimes." ”

The Queen Mother ordered, and someone immediately obeyed the order.

Ji Yuning and Meng Ying secretly laughed, the calculation in their hearts seemed to have succeeded, the Queen Mother had been provoked to search for the "Huafeng Palace", and the ash tree seeds they had placed in the "Huafeng Palace" in advance had become the key evidence.

In order to prevent the people in the "Huafeng Palace" from discovering it early, Ji Yuning and Meng Ying dried the seeds of the ash tree to remove the taste, wrapped them in several layers of oil paper, and then put them in the "Huafeng Palace".

And the shrewd grandmothers who have always searched the palace will definitely search for "Huafeng Palace" carefully, and things will definitely be found.

Even if the grandmothers didn't search carefully, Ji Yuning had already arranged for people to mix in the people who searched the palace, and it was difficult to put things there if they didn't want to be discovered.

In Huafeng Palace, Lu Mingyue and the others were leisurely doing their own things, when suddenly a group of people broke in.

"What are you doing? Who gave you the audacity to break in at will? As soon as Shiyu saw someone break in, she yelled at those people angrily.

"Miss Shiyu, we were ordered by the Queen Mother to search the 'Huafeng Palace', please make it convenient, it's not good to hurt you by mistake." The leading grandmother said to the poem in front of her.

Then, Mama saluted Lu Mingyue, and began to search the palace with people, and there was a crackling sound everywhere, rummaging very roughly, but carefully inspecting every corner.
