Chapter Seventy-One
When Chu Yunxi returned to Xiyun Palace, he found that Xia Fenglan didn't know when he had summoned Imperial Doctor Zhou.
"What's the matter, Feng Lan, but what's wrong with your body?" After looking Xia Fenglan up and down, Chu Yunxi asked.
"It's not." Xia Fenglan shook her head and said, "I was thinking that since you want to discern whether there is a problem with the spices, you must need a imperial doctor." So I took advantage of this time to have someone pass on Imperial Doctor Zhou.
A flash of appreciation flashed in Chu Yunxi's eyes, and he reached out and pinched Xia Fenglan's cheek: "My Fenglan is very smart. ”
"Feng Lan, why are you so smart?" The corners of his mouth hooked up slightly, and Chu Yunxi said.
"Because I know you." Xia Fenglan's cheeks were stained with a flush and said. Chu Yunxi was her closest person, how could she not understand.
When Chu Yunxi heard this, her eyes were full of smiles, she really loved Feng Lan like this.
"Imperial Doctor Zhou, you go and wait outside the Concubine Li Palace, your father should summon you soon." Chu Yunxi instructed Imperial Doctor Zhou.
Imperial Doctor Zhou nodded and left alone.
"Xi, aren't you going?" Xia Fenglan had some doubts in her heart, with Chu Yunxi's character of loving watching dramas, she would definitely intervene in this matter.
"This kind of drama, we just need to watch the final ending." Chu Yunxi said, "Besides, I also have a part in summoning my father, so I don't want my father to be angry with me." ”
"Then let's wait here for a while." Xia Fenglan said.
Xia Fenglan flipped through the ancient books for a while, and Chu Yunxi played with the concentric knot around Xia Fenglan's waist.
Putting down the book, seeing that Chu Yunxi seemed to be interested in this thing, Xia Fenglan said: "This is the concentric knot that my mother taught me to make, and my mother said that if two people who love each other work together to complete one, they can be together forever." Yuke wants to make one with me? ”
"I'm really not good at female redness." Chu Yunxi said.
"I'll teach you that." Xia Fenglan said, and asked Jin Ci to bring two red ropes.
Xia Fenglan sat in Chu Yunxi's arms, grabbed her hands, and taught her little by little.
As soon as he lowered his head slightly, he could see Xia Fenglan's fair side face. The black hair slipped down his cheeks slightly, and Chu Yunxi only felt that such Xia Fenglan was extremely beautiful.
This kind of time is so beautiful that people can't help but want to stop time.
"Your Highness." After hesitating for a while, Jin Ci still stepped forward and said, "It's almost time." ”
The movements in her hands paused, and Xia Fenglan put the concentric knot on the table beside her. As soon as she wanted to get up, she found that she was sitting in Chu Yunxi's arms, and she couldn't help but blush.
slapped off Chu Yunxi's hand holding her waist and quickly stood up.
The spices burned by King Xing in the palace have a good refreshing effect. If you continue to use it for two or three months, it will damage your body.
Not long after Concubine Li passed away, King Xing loved his mother so much that he thought of using such incense to refresh his mind and keep his soul for seven days.
King Xing burst into tears, showing a filial son to the fullest, and even the emperor felt guilty for having doubted him and compensated him a lot. In my heart, I was even more annoyed by the queen's instigation.
When Chu Yunxi and the two arrived in the palace of Concubine Li, the emperor had just left.
Seeing Chu Yunxi, the emperor said coldly: "Haosheng persuaded your mother, don't do nothing." ”
"Yes, Father." Chu Yunxi lowered his head and answered.
Looking at the emperor's back, Chu Yunxi hooked the corners of his mouth mockingly.
After today's events, my father must be able to realize that without Concubine Li, this harem is now the queen's dominance, which is not a sign he wants to see. In order to contain the queen mother, he must support a person to come up.
In the palace, I am afraid that only the concubine who has just given birth to a little prince is the concubine who has just given birth to this condition. It seems that she is going to find some time to beat the national teacher well.
Concubine Li's hall was in a mess, the smokers were all poured to the ground, and the spices and incense ash were mixed together.
Seeing Chu Yunxi, King Xing showed a smile, greeted him warmly, and said, "Sister Huang, this matter is thanks to you for inviting your father to come and administer justice for this king." ”
It was indeed her who invited her father, but King Xing proposed it at this time, obviously to let the queen transfer some of her hatred to her. King Xing is a person who really doesn't forget to calculate her all the time.
At this time, the queen had already stood up with the support of the palace people. Because she had been kneeling for a long time, her knees were sore, the queen's face was even more ugly, and her eyes when she looked at Chu Yunxi were a little more resentful: "This palace didn't check for a while, but it actually caught your way." ”
King Xing smiled and did not refute.
"Go back to the palace." The queen said coldly.
Looking at the queen's back, Chu Yunxi raised her eyebrows, and she didn't defend herself. Her queen mother, how can King Xing be able to transfer it in a few words. After the queen mother thinks clearly, she will find that she is also a victim of this matter, at least on the bright side.
Soon after the queen left, Chu Yunxi also left the palace.
Inside King Jing's Mansion
Mo Lan was waiting in the courtyard early, and as soon as she saw Chu Yunxi, she immediately greeted her: "Your Highness, the person has already been brought, and it will be locked in the firewood room." ”
Chu Yunxi nodded and let Mo Lan lead the way.
The door of the firewood room slowly opened, revealing the person detained inside, a familiar face - Jinlan.
The queen ordered a jewelry shop in the capital to create a pair of earrings, and sent Jinlan to pick up the goods today, and Chu Yunxi easily intercepted Jinlan.
"Jinlan, do you know what this king means by arresting you here?" Standing in front of Jinlan and looking at her condescendingly, Chu Yunxi said.
Jinlan shook her head, not daring to say a word. She has already seen King Jing's ruthlessness, and she still remembers the incident of her almost broken leg. King Jing has become her nightmare.
Chu Yunxi took the bag handed over by Mo Lan and poured the spices inside in front of Jin Lan: "Do you recognize this thing?" ”
As soon as she smelled the familiar aroma, Jinlan's face turned pale.
"This king has ordered someone to check, and this spice is mixed with a manic dry lotus." Chu Yunxi said slowly, "The queen mother just suffered a big loss from King Xing today, you say, if this king orders someone to tell the queen mother about this matter, what will the queen mother do?" ”
Jin Lan's face suddenly bowed, trembling and kneeling in front of Chu Yunxi, kowtowing a few times, and said: "Your Highness, Your Highness spares her life, Jin Lan is also confused." "If the queen knows about this matter, with the queen's vicious temperament, she will definitely be worse off than dead.
"It's not impossible to ask this king to spare your life." Pinching Jinlan's chin with one hand, forcing her to raise her head, and looking at her, Chu Yunxi said slowly, "You know what to do." ”
"Jinlan is willing, loyal to His Highness." Jinlan said, "I just ask His Highness to let Jinlan live." ”
"Very well, this king likes people like you the most." Chu Yunxi hooked her lips, let go of Jinlan, and asked Mo Lan to give Jinlan another spice, and said, "When the queen mother calms down, she will find out that there is something wrong with the spice you gave her." Rashly changing the spices will only make the queen mother more suspicious of you, this king has made people mix harmless spices with the same smell, you can rest assured that the queen mother is using it. ”
"Your Highness." Jinlan lowered her head and took the spice.
"You can go back." Chu Yunxi waved his hand and said.
When Jinlan heard this, she left quickly as if she had been pardoned.
"People like Jinlan are not reliable. When the spice matter passes, it is difficult to guarantee that she will not turn back. After Jinlan left, Xia Fenglan frowned and said.
"Of course, I know that." Chu Yunxi said with a smile, "If you want Jinlan to do things for me, in addition to threats, the more important thing is to let her see that doing things for me can get more benefits than others." "This other person not only refers to the queen, but also to King Xing.
After Jinlan returned to the palace, she deliberately went to the Internal Affairs Mansion for a walk, and made it look like she had taken spices again before returning to the Fengqi Palace.
As soon as she arrived at the gate of the palace, Jinlan was directly arrested by the queen's people and interrogated.
When the queen returned. , The manager cleared her mind, and during the period when she became manic, in addition to smelling the incense from King Xing, there was also the incense brought by Jinlan. Jinlan has had some careful thoughts of her own recently, and the queen has already found out.
"Niangniang, Jinlan is wronged." Jinlan said, "Jinlan has served her mother for many years, how dare she harm her mother." ”
The queen didn't say anything, but asked the royal doctor to check the spices she had brought back.
The imperial doctor carefully investigated the spices, and found that there was no problem with the spices brought by Jinlan.
The queen glanced at Jinlan and let Jinlan go, is it really her wrong to think about this matter?
Leaving the inner hall, Jinlan took a deep breath, her eyes slightly darkened. In this matter, if King Jing hadn't prepared for her earlier, she would probably have died in the hands of the queen.
She really shouldn't have been tempted by King Xing in the first place, King Xing, once he achieved his goal, he wouldn't care about her life or death.
On the second day, the queen summoned Chu Yunxi into the palace.
asked someone to bring a cup of tea to Chu Yunxi, and the queen said, "You have also seen yesterday's events." King Xing first took advantage of you to invite the emperor to come, which made the palace suffer a big loss, and then sued the palace about this matter, so that there was an insurmountable gap between the palace and you. ”
"If the queen mother has something to say, she might as well say it directly." Chu Yunxi said.
"To this day, do you still want to join forces with King Xing?" The queen looked at Chu Yunxi and asked, "His ability to calculate has far exceeded your imagination. Without this palace, you can't fight him alone. ”
"Is the queen mother looking down on her sons?" Chu Yunxi asked.
"Hongu is just reminding you of a fact." The queen said coldly, "He can calculate the palace at the same time, but also calculate you." It proves that the alliance between him and you is not strong. If he can calculate this palace today, he will be able to calculate you tomorrow as well. ”
"What does the queen mother want her son to do?" Without answering the queen directly, Chu Yunxi asked rhetorically.
"Support King Jin." The queen said word by word, "This time to suppress the bandits, take him with you." "She has already angered the emperor, and if she lets King Jin go out with her, she can't say it anymore, she can only let Chu Yunxi speak.
"The queen mother thinks that her sons will agree?" Chu Yunxi looked at the queen with a smile.
"If you go to suppress the bandits alone, King Xing will definitely point all the spearheads at King Jin." The queen said, "If King Jin falls, there will be no peace between you and King Xing. ”
Chu Yunxi lowered his head and rubbed his fingers against the edge of the teacup, as if he was thinking about this question.
For a long time, when the queen thought that Chu Yunxi would not agree, Chu Yunxi said: "Okay, the son promised you." ”
