Chapter 229: The Man Who Hides in the Shadows
Concubine Jing's hand hidden under the brocade quilt clenched suddenly, her lips were tightly pursed, she looked at the black-clothed man in front of her, and said calmly, "I know." ”
And when I looked at it again, the man in black was long gone. And Emperor Zhao was also in the outer hall because of what was going on outside, and no one knew what happened just now......
Only the concubine who was lying on the couch and pretended to be a little pale and weak.
And inside the Zhengyang Palace
The eldest prince Qin Junhan smiled slightly at this time, and when he heard Concubine Xian's words, he also nodded and said, "What Concubine Xian said is very true," and then looked at the eldest princess and said, "If my aunt is fine, why don't you take a trip too?" Of course, he should have accompanied Concubine Xian, but he was already an adult man, but it was not easy to go to a concubine's bedroom, so he had to trouble the eldest princess.
The eldest princess was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized, "It's still thoughtful, but Mo Qing, I still want to talk to Mo Qing for a while." "Changle didn't want to leave Han Moqing in the care of the eldest prince, for fear that this person would be taken care of.
Although the eldest princess didn't know the purpose of the eldest prince, she knew about the eldest prince's family a while ago, and knew that the eldest prince had always been eager to repay her, and then thought about the situation when Han Yi suddenly mentioned her daughter before, so the eldest princess decided to take people away.
"Then I'll trouble He Xiaozi again, send people back to Han's house, and when I have time in the future, I'll send someone to call Mo Qing to play." The eldest princess said.
But she heard Concubine Xian chuckle and stopped, "Why bother like this? If Miss Han is either a foreign man, it doesn't hurt to walk around the palace for a while, since the eldest princess is reluctant to let her go, it is better to take it with her, since she is too busy to take care of herself, she has no time to embarrass people again. ”
"Exactly!" The eldest princess stroked her palms and smiled, "It's still Concubine Xian's mother who is considerate of me, so it's decided." When he turned around, he said to the eldest prince: "Jun Han, then I'll go." ”
The corners of the eldest prince's lips were slightly curved, and he nodded casually, but he patted Han Moqing's head in person, and said with a smile, "Then you guys will go, I can rest assured here." He said softly to Han Moqing: "Go, don't be afraid, and there are mothers and princesses, and you won't be at a loss." ”
Han Moqing has no doubts about things that no one asks her opinion for, this is a common problem of the superiors, but the eldest prince's cousin really scared her, is this possessed by something? Why did the cold prince suddenly become different! Han Moqing wanted to pinch the eldest prince's neck and ask, what kind of conspiracy do you have!
However, the fact is that Han Moqing can only express his gratitude to the eldest prince for his kindness, and he was flattered by the prince's concern for the courtiers, and then he was led out of the Zhengyang Palace by the eldest princess.
And at this time, in the Anyue Palace
Concubine Jing endured, she knew that this was a sign of the poisonous hair, master, is this even the time calculated so accurately?
At this time, in the Anyue Palace, Concubine Jing was lying on the couch, her eyes closed, and only a snow-white wrist was stretched out for the imperial doctor to diagnose the pulse, while Emperor Zhao was staring at the imperial doctor tightly, and the people around him were standing quietly, not even daring to breathe.
Looking at the pale and bloodless sleeping face on the bed, Emperor Zhao's face was gloomy.
After a long time, I saw that the imperial doctor withdrew his hand, got up with a strange expression, and came to Emperor Zhao and bowed, but before he could speak, he heard Emperor Zhao say, "Go out and speak." So he went out of the room first.
"Imperial Doctor Li, what's going on with the concubine?" Obviously he was fine just now, but now he has become unconscious.
The named Imperial Doctor Li is one of the senior imperial doctors in the Tai Hospital, and he is also a rigorous imperial doctor, and the Li family has practiced medicine for generations and has superb medical skills.
Imperial Doctor Li stepped forward unhurriedly, checked the pulse of Concubine Jing who fell into a coma again, confirmed the pulse, and Li Yu knelt in front of Emperor Zhao.
Emperor Zhao raised his eyebrows, "If you have anything to say, just say it." ”
"Back to the emperor, the concubine is poisoned." Imperial Doctor Li told the truth.
Emperor Zhao's body was stunned, including everyone present, who would be so bold to poison the high-flying concubine?
"Do you know what kind of poison it is?" Emperor Zhao asked.
"Wechen can't be sure yet."
"What do you want me to do?"
"If the emperor allows it, Weichen wants to see Niangniang's meal today."
"Do you suspect someone has tampered with food?" Emperor Zhao's face was gloomy, and as soon as the words came out, the other concubines whispered around.
Concubine Xian was also very curious, but she didn't expect that someone would dare to poison Concubine Jing. Thinking of the queen who had been secretly fighting with Concubine Jing, Concubine Xian's eyes naturally shifted to her.
The queen looked calm, there was no trace of panic between her eyebrows, she just looked at Emperor Zhao quietly, and at this moment she seemed to only have that man in her eyes, and she didn't care about the outside world.
Concubine Xian had a feeling that the murderer who poisoned would not be the queen.
At this moment, there was already a palace maid who brought up all the meals this morning, and Imperial Doctor Li checked them one by one, but kept shaking his head.
"No problem?" Emperor Zhao frowned, isn't there a problem with the medicine? Is it diet?
"Wanyue, you have always been by your mother's side, what has she eaten these days?"
Wanyue lowered her head and began to think about what Concubine Jing had eaten in the past few days, but all the food was tasted by a special subordinate and sent to the concubine Niangniang, it stands to reason that it will be fine, what went wrong during this period?
Suddenly, Wanyue looked up at Emperor Zhao, "Today, the eldest lady of the Su family sent a thousand-year-old ginseng to the concubine Niangniang, I don't know if it will be?" ”
Although Wan Yue's words were just questions, they seemed to have been confirmed in Concubine Xian's ears.
"Show me." Imperial Doctor Li did not let go of any possibility, and Wanyue got the emperor's acquiescence and quickly brought the thousand-year-old ginseng that Su Wanliang gave yesterday.
Imperial Doctor Li carefully took the ginseng in Wan Yue's hand, looked at it carefully, and then leaned under his nose and sniffed, opened his mouth and gently took a bite in his mouth, chewed it a few times, and then spit it out.
Imperial Doctor Li finished this series of actions, and then handed the ginseng to other imperial doctors for identification, and in the end, the conclusions reached were the same.
"Here's the problem, this thousand-year-old ginseng was tampered with, mixed with deadly toxins, and after the concubine ate it, she was poisoned."
Imperial Doctor Li's affirmation, coupled with the firm conclusion of other imperial doctors, all the evidence of Concubine Jing's poisoning pointed to Su Wanliang,
There were different looks in the eyes of everyone present, some were disdainful, some were mocking, some were suspicious, but more were surprised and incredulous, and some were immobile and unwavering.
Emperor Zhao's sharp and unwarm eyes stared at Concubine Jing for a moment, but in the end he didn't say anything.
The queen looked at Concubine Jing very calmly, but there was a sneer on her face, a little schadenfreude.
"Ahem......" After a cough, Concubine Jing who was lying on the bed opened her eyes weakly, and at the same time attracted everyone's attention to her.
"Your Majesty..."As soon as Concubine Jing saw that there were so many people around her bedroom, especially the emperor, she struggled to get up, and Wanyue stepped forward to help.
"You don't have to salute, the imperial doctor said that you were poisoned, did you drink ginseng soup for breakfast?" Emperor Zhao's eyes were on the ginseng, the ginseng was given to Su Wanliang by him, it stands to reason that there would be no problem, but now there is a problem, is it really her doing something? Or what did Su Wanliang know?
"Your Majesty, the concubine did drink a bowl of ginseng soup in the morning, and she won't ...... It can't be Miss Sue! Concubine Jing looked at Emperor Zhao with a weak gaze, with an incredulous expression.
The queen sneered in her heart, but there was no emotion on her face.
Emperor Zhao looked at Concubine Jing quietly, as if he was asking something in his eyes? Wan Yue, who was beside her, retreated a little frightened.
"The ginseng was sent by Su Wanliang?" Emperor Zhao's faint and cold tone made the originally calm Concubine Jing feel weak in her heart, and cold sweat kept breaking out in her palms.
"It's her." Now that she has taken the first step, she can't help but regret it.
"She also gave the poison?"
"The concubine doesn't know." Concubine Jing was pitiful, and said with a pale and weak face.
"Your Majesty......" The queen walked over at this time, "Your Majesty, it's better for Miss Huo Su to come over and ask clearly, after all, this matter is related to Daqi's face." ”
The queen has always wanted to take the opportunity to control Su Wanliang, how could she let go of such a good opportunity.
Concubine Jing was aggrieved and looked at Emperor Zhao innocently, hoping that he could make decisions for herself. Emperor Zhao nodded at her, and she was relieved.
"Go to the eldest lady of the Su family, Su Wanliang?" Emperor Zhao glanced at him, and Zhao Yi couldn't help but shudder in his heart. These people, they really have nothing to do, Miss Su's idea is so easy to fight!
After a while, he saw Zhao Yi running back in a hurry, and Emperor Zhao looked at the empty people behind him and asked, "What about people?" ”
Zhao Yi knelt down and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, Miss Su has gone to see the Queen Mother." ”
When Emperor Zhao heard this, his expression immediately changed, and he hurriedly explained to the imperial doctor to carefully detoxify and treat Concubine Jing before leaving, and he didn't say anything superfluous......
And Concubine Jing and the queen, who heard the news, had a slight change in their eyes, only Concubine Wen and the others had the same expressions, but only they knew what was going on in their hearts.
The other concubines saw that they had nothing to do with themselves, and they all retired and left.
In the end, only Concubine Jing and another concubine remained, this concubine was dressed in a very simple and elegant, delicate face, red lips, but also a beauty who was not inferior to Concubine Jing and the queen.
"I didn't expect Concubine Shu to have leisure and elegance to come and see the excitement?" Concubine Jing suddenly quipped.
Concubine Shu hid her face and smiled, "Didn't my sister say it was lively?" Who doesn't want to watch the excitement, and has nothing to do in the palace all day, and it's also very interesting to see the excitement. ”
Concubine Jing raised the corners of her mouth and stopped talking to her, and Concubine Shu didn't say that she wanted to leave, but just found a chair and sat down.
"You ......" Concubine Jing wanted to say something to Concubine Shu, but Concubine Shu stopped her in time.
"Sister Guifei, my sister knows what you want to say, my sister doesn't want to help you, my sister is just helping myself. I just hope my sister understands! ”
This is the reason why Concubine Shu stayed and didn't leave immediately, although there are a lot of open and secret fights between her and Concubine Jing, but if it threatens the common interests of the two, neither of them will let it go. Su Wanliang has already involved too many interests, if the affairs of the Yan family are exposed, the consequences will be unimaginable!
Concubine Jing frowned, how could she not know that Concubine Shu was worried? Although the emperor seems ruthless on the surface, they all understand that he is protecting Su Wanliang, so they still can't forget that slut.
"Sister Shufei is worried too much! Doesn't the emperor already know the murderer? This palace believes that the emperor will not show mercy to her subordinates. Concubine Jing said, her eyes revealing a touch of ruthlessness.
Concubine Shu was secretly happy, "Since my sister has a way, my sister thinks too much, my sister is weak, my sister won't disturb my sister's rest, and will come to visit my sister another day." ”
Concubine Jing nodded, "Late moon, send Concubine Shu Niangniang for the palace." ”
After Concubine Shu left, a concubine suddenly came out of the palace. When I looked up, I saw that she was a gentle and elegant concubine who had always been simple and indisputable.
Concubine Wen sat very leisurely on the side, fiddling with the armor in her hands, always with a shallow smile on her face.
"Wanjie, thank you this time." Concubine Jing smiled gratefully.
Concubine Wen's name is Wen Wanjie, she is an orphan girl, and she is also a Qinglou woman, the year before last, Emperor Zhao made a private tour, and was moved by her singing voice by chance, and ransomed her body, during that time, Emperor Zhao liked it tightly, and he continued to favor her every night, but because of her identity, she was only given a concubine.
Concubine Shu's temperament has always been cold, but in order to consolidate her grace status, she did not hesitate to harm her body with medicine, and gradually Emperor Zhao's favor became more and more, and she slowly came to this day. It's just that Concubine Wen has always been gentle and elegant, and with the daily chanting, she can't help but have a quiet and gentle taste. It's just that everyone in the world doesn't know, and people who don't necessarily recite the Buddha's sutras have real peace and tranquility in their hearts, and sometimes they are even more to suppress the evil obstacles in their hearts! Or just disguise.
"Sister Guifei said that she laughed, it was your sister whose acting skills were good." Concubine Wen stood up and sat on the side of Concubine Jing's bed, and the distance between the two narrowed a little closer.
"That's also your plan, sister." Concubine Jing said.
It is precisely because of her contribution to Concubine Jing that Concubine Jing will take risks and use poison on herself, so as to achieve the goal of framing Su Wanliang.
"Huh!" Concubine Wen smiled brightly, "Sister Concubine doesn't think that Concubine Wen looks like a person between her eyebrows?" ”
Concubine Jing's pale face stiffened, and she nodded, "It's indeed very similar." "Because it's like, so she has to guard against it.
"Sister Guifei didn't expect that the emperor was particularly partial to her because of her likeness? He was even reluctant to deal with her severely. Concubine Wen said lightly.
Concubine Jing nodded, and the situation of the woman dying and full of hatred fell into Emperor Zhao's arms came to mind.
"The emperor obviously only has that woman in his heart, and these concubines in the harem are nothing in his eyes." Concubine Jing was resentful in her heart, she had served him wholeheartedly for so many years, pleasing him, what was it in exchange? Nothing, it's better than a person who has been dead for many years, how can she not hate it in her heart. And she has been living with the woman's stand-in!
"Sister Guifei has to think about it for herself."
"What my sister said is that this palace will not let the second Yunfu dream appear." Concubine Jing's hands were clenched into fists, her deep nails digging into her flesh, and the short-term pain stimulated her determination to deal with Su Wanliang.
I wanted to control Su Wanliang, but what happened in the hall made her faintly uneasy, and now, even if there is a warning from the master, Yun Xifan is here, she will not let Su Wanliang go!
Wen Guifei saw such a weird smile on the corner of Concubine Wen's mouth, she looked at the gloomy sky, and the snowflakes kept falling, "Yunfumeng, I want your daughter to pay for the sins you committed back then!" You have to take a good look at the ...... Haha......" (To be continued.) )
