Chapter 297: Stillbirth

If this matter is really Mo Qingyuan's handiwork, then it will definitely cover up the past quietly, and at that time, it will definitely be the maid next to Shao Qingyuan who is the scapegoat for the conviction, if this matter is to be covered up, the queen will also interrogate the maid next to Shao Qingyuan, it is better for her to do this matter for the queen first, and it is also her duty to solve the queen's worries and difficulties.

"Niangniang," after thinking about it, Panchun had already brought Min'er over and blessed Xu Zi: "Miss Min'er brought it over." ”

Xu Zigui nodded, and instructed Yuerong: "Concubine Shao is in danger, you can't have someone by your side, you can bring Ping'er in to serve Concubine Shao." ”

The implication is to separate Ping'er and Min'er, so that the two don't have any chance to communicate, even if it's code words or eye contact.

Yuerong understood, nodded yes, and took Ping'er into the inner room. Xu Zigui turned his head to look at Min'er lightly and asked, "Who has Concubine Shao seen today?" Who have you ever had a conflict with? ”

Xu Zigui's expressionless face and gentle tone were gentle, and she couldn't tell what her feelings were from inside, and Min'er couldn't figure out Xu Zigui's inner thoughts at the moment, so she could only guess what Ping'er said.

Since Xu Zigui questioned himself and Ping'er separately, he thought that he wanted to catch the bin, and the two of them didn't know in advance that such a thing would happen...... Min'er bit her lower lip, thinking that if the two hadn't discussed it in advance, Ping'er would have told the truth, so Min'er settled down and replied: "Back to Niangniang, Concubine Shao saw the four princesses today, and then there were a few slaves." As for the conflict...... Concubine Shao and the Fourth Imperial Concubine had a verbal conflict, but they didn't matter. ”

Xu Zigui raised his eyebrows, one said it was related to Xu Ziyun, and the other said it was related to Zheng Jiaying, which is strange. was about to speak, but Zheng Jiaying spoke out angrily first.

"You're spewing blood!" After that, he turned to Xu Zigui and Mo Qingyuan and said: "Master, sister-in-law, this cheap maid is spewing blood, and Ye Mo must be blinded by her." ”

said. Turning to look at the little girl. The voice has reached the crying tone: "Since Concubine Shao is pregnant, the palace has exempted her from morning and dusk, and the palace is still novel, why does Concubine Shao want to come to ask for peace today, it turns out that the weasel gave the chicken a New Year's greeting and did not press any kindness!" It's trying to set up a blame! ”

After that, he cried to Xu Zigui: "The imperial sister-in-law has to make decisions for her younger siblings." Not to mention that the younger siblings did not have any verbal conflicts with Concubine Shao. It's just that what these two said doesn't match. Please also ask the royal sister-in-law to take a look! ”

Xu Zigui nodded lightly and glanced at Yuexi, who stepped forward to pull Zheng Jiaying away. comforted: "The four princesses can rest assured, since our mother is here, we will definitely find out the matter and return the innocence of the four princesses." ”

Zheng Jiaying sobbed and stood back in her original position, just as Imperial Doctor Xu came out at this time, Xu Zigui glanced at Min'er meaningfully, and said to one of the maids: "Go and find Ping'er." ”

After that, he nodded at Imperial Doctor Xu and asked, "Can you find out?" Why was Concubine Shao born prematurely? ”

Imperial Physician Xu glanced at Xu Zigui with a somewhat complicated expression, and then looked at the maids, but did not speak in a hurry.

Xu Zigui understood, leaving only Yuerong, the six of them, and Min'er Ping'er, and then Xu Ziyun, Mo Qingyuan, and Zheng Jiaying, the three masters, and the others were sent away by Xu Zigui: "Other people who have nothing to do should not gather here, and those who should rest and do their work should be busy with their own." ”

After that, he instructed Yuerong Yuexi: "You two go to guard the door first, and then the palace will order if there is something to do in a while." ”

The two should have gone to the door, Xu Zigui nodded to Imperial Physician Xu, and said, "There is something wrong with Imperial Physician Xu, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

Only then did Imperial Physician Xu sigh and speak: "Concubine Shao was born prematurely because she drank the chisia soup...... But this hemorrhage is ...... But it was caused by eating musk by mistake......"

Xu Zigui gasped and asked, "How is the situation now?" ”

Imperial Doctor Xu sighed: "This hypnosis soup itself is a little harmful, plus musk is a taboo for pregnant women, these two medicines are mixed together, and the effect is ......."

said, sighed, didn't say any more, only said: "Concubine Shao's situation is not optimistic, but her life has been saved, but it will be difficult to conceive in the future." ”

"Quack!" As soon as Imperial Doctor Xu's words fell, Mo Qingyuan kicked over: "You are talking nonsense, how can Yuan'er be difficult to conceive again!" It must be that you are incompetent in medical skills and can't cure well Yuan'er said that! ”

Seeing Mo Qingyuan's tone of pathos, even his expression was extremely painful, a trace of ridicule quickly flashed in Xu Zigui's eyes, and his heart was half cold, so listening to what the imperial doctor said, he could know that this soup must have been drunk by Shao Qingyuan in order to blame someone for her premature birth, but this musk was unknowingly filled in.

"Fourth Master."

Xu Zigui faintly shouted Mo Qingyuan, who was angry, and there was a dead silence of unknown meaning in his voice, which shocked Mo Qingyuan when he heard it, and he even forgot to continue pretending to be angry, looking at Xu Zigui in a daze, waiting for Xu Zigui's next words.

Xu Zigui ignored him first, but instructed Red Sleeves: "Help Imperial Physician Xu up, and check for Imperial Physician Xu to see if there are any injuries." ”

After that, he glanced at Imperial Physician Xu apologetically, and then looked at Mo Qingyuan, his expression was normal: "Concubine Shao has such a thing, the child is so old but the stillbirth is even more dangerous, the palace knows that the fourth brother is worried, but he can't take the imperial doctor to be angry, after all, this is the emperor's imperial doctor, not the fourth brother's mansion who admits punishment and admits punishment." ”

After that, he no longer looked at him, but looked at Ping'er and Min'er playfully, and said meaningfully: "There is a very interesting thing here in this palace today, do you want to hear it?" ”

From Zheng Jiaying's words just now, Min'er knew that what she and Ping'er said should be inconsistent, and at this time, looking at Xu Zigui's painless appearance, Min'er's heart trembled even more, nodded her head, and said tremblingly: "Please tell the crown princess." ”

Looking at the two people who were trembling on the ground, Xu Zigui hooked the corners of his mouth and said, "When I was dining in the palace this morning, I tasted a common side dish on weekdays and changed its taste. asked the palace maid who was waiting, why did the taste of this dish be different from usual? As a result, the palace maid said that it was because it was made in the small kitchen of her palace instead of the imperial kitchen in the imperial dining room, so the taste was different. Later, a little maid said that she leaked her mouth, and the palace knew that the small dish was the first dish that Princess Anyang learned to make, and she specially sent it to the palace to taste. ”

After that, he was already covering his mouth and smiling, as if it was really a very interesting thing, but he could hear it in Ping'er Min'er's ears. He was even more afraid.

The dish in Xu Zigui's mouth is Shao Qingyuan. Because the cooking in the small kitchen is different from the imperial kitchen in the imperial dining room, it will be tasted, which means that Shao Qingyuan drank the soup because she wanted to harm others. Later, some palace maids said that they leaked their mouths, which implied that their two confessions were inconsistent. And the last dish was made by Princess Anyang. It's a reminder to them. In addition to the fact that they themselves want this child to be born prematurely to blame others, and someone really wants to harm this child and Shao Qingyuan, and this person is high and powerful. It's not that they can bring it down, but the two of them can be cannon fodder.

Word by word, the analysis of the meaning of Xu Zigui's painting was clear, the two looked at each other, and the trembling was even worse, Xu Zigui saw it in his eyes, and said without changing his face: "Although the dish made by Princess Anyang is not delicious, it is also her heart, and the palace has eaten it at all." ”

After that, he covered his mouth and smiled, looked at the two of them, and said with a smile: "After all, it was sent by Princess Anyang, and the palace wants to save face." ”

The implication is that even if Shao Qingyuan is not very good on weekdays and has a bad relationship with herself, but this dangerous royal heir is a matter of great importance, she will definitely not fake the public and selfishness, and she will definitely find out about it, but after all, that person is in a high position, and she can't solve that person.

Ping'er and Min'er understood the meaning of Xu Zigui's words, and after glancing at each other, they both saw the determination in their eyes, they were Shao Qingyuan's henchmen, and they were absolutely loyal to Shao Qingyuan, and they knew that since they wanted to protect Shao Qingyuan, the two of them would have to sacrifice.

"Niangniang, it's all the slave and maid, the slave and maid were blinded by lard and wanted to blame Concubine Xu." Saying that, Ping'er kowtowed to Xu Ziyun and continued: "A few days ago, Concubine Shao went to the Taoist Temple to calculate, and it happened that the days when Concubine Shao gave birth were the day of the great murder, and Concubine Shao was worried all night about this matter...... Because Concubine Xu and the fourth princess bullied Concubine Shao many times on weekdays, the slaves and maids couldn't think for a while before they thought of blaming the two maids, it was all the fault of the slaves and maids, regardless of Concubine Shao's affairs. But...... But the musk thing really wasn't the work of the slaves......"

After that, the two kowtowed to Xu Zigui together: "Please punish the crown princess." ”

Xu Ziyun and Zheng Jiaying didn't know what was going on, so they naturally couldn't understand Xu Zigui's words, and when they saw Ping'er and the two of them taking the initiative to admit their mistakes, they were even more angry, and stepped forward to slap the two of them, and said angrily: ", after a while, the palace will order someone to beat you to death!" ”

Mo Qingyuan glanced at Xu Zigui lightly, he was a participant in the whole process, and naturally knew what Xu Zigui was implying by what he just said. He always knew that Xu Zigui was smart, but he didn't expect Xu Zigui to guess who the real murderer was so quickly.

Xu Ziyun occupies the position of the side concubine, but it is useless, Mo Qingyuan has long wanted to get rid of it, and Xu Ziyun is a threat to Shao Qingyuan, whether it is the appearance of family affairs or the experience of meeting Mo Qingyuan beforehand, these are enough to threaten Shao Qingyuan, so Shao Qingyuan had the idea of getting rid of Xu Ziyun, and it happened that such a thought was on the right with Mo Qingyuan, so the two decided to cooperate.

Mo Qingyuan said that he bought the urging soup for Shao Qingyuan, but it was actually musk. And Shao Qingyuan obviously knew Mo Qingyuan's character, and she didn't dare to drink the medicine he gave with confidence, so Ping'er bought a new hypnotic soup. And Mo Qingyuan naturally knew that Shao Qingyuan couldn't trust him, so he had already installed his own person beside Shao Qingyuan, and brought it to Imperial Doctor Mu to inspect the meal, and the maid who was bought by Mo Qingyuan put musk in the meal. Shao Qingyuan was confident that the child in her belly was absolutely beneficial to Mo Qingyuan, so she didn't pay too much attention to it, and she didn't check it carefully when she ate, so she ate musk by mistake.

In fact, if he hadn't lived a new life, had the memories of the previous life, and knew Mo Qingyuan too well, Xu Zigui would not have made such an instant decision and decided that Mo Qingyuan was the mastermind behind this matter.

Feeling Mo Qingyuan's gaze, Xu Zigui only felt cold, but he didn't look at him, but said lightly to Zheng Jiaying: "The two of them are also protective of their hearts, it seems that the fourth brother and sister treat the two side concubines harshly on weekdays, which makes Ping'er and the two have resentment, and for the sake of the two of them, they will not be beaten to death." ”

The implication is that he is speaking for the two of them. Ping'er and Min'er heard it, and the two glanced at Xu Zigui gratefully, Xu Zigui gave the two of them a reassuring look, and asked, "Give the two of you a chance to atone for your crimes, who is serving Concubine Shao for dinner today?" ”

Xu Zigui obviously helped the two of them, and he was really investigating the case for Shao Qingyuan, and he could be regarded as helping Shao Qingyuan find out who was the one who really ate inside and out.

"Back to the princess Niangniang, there is still Duo'er who is serving Concubine Shao's dinner today."

Xu Zigui nodded, and ordered Lan Xiang on the side: "Go and bring Duo'er out." ”

Lan Xiang nodded yes, and went to bring Duo'er out as instructed.

Xu Zigui glanced at Mo Qingyuan lightly, and then moved his gaze to Duo'er, and his tone was normal: "What have you done, did you recruit yourself, or let the palace send you to the emperor?" ”

Duo'er wanted to see what Xu Zigui knew from Xu Zigui's face, but Xu Zigui's face was expressionless, and there was nothing unusual in his tone, so he couldn't see anything at all, Duo'er felt desperate in her heart, and wanted to look at Mo Qingyuan, but Lan Xiang blocked her vision as if she was unintentional.

Duo'er had no choice but to lower her head, biting her lip and refusing to speak.

Since he was doing things for Mo Qingyuan, he thought he was tough, Xu Zigui didn't force her, and only said: "It's just the three of you who serve Concubine Shao's dinner, and now that Ping'er and Min'er are suspected, if you still refuse to confess, you will have to be sent to the Shen Criminal Division, after all, it is not a trivial matter to kill the royal heir." ”

Hearing Xu Zigui's question, Duo'er breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that Xu Zigui was not asking who instructed it, but asking if she did it, since it was easier to answer over there than to ask. The person who instructed her would not have anything to do even if she confessed, but at that time, it would affect her family, so it was better to let her admit all the qiē and let each other's families be safe.

Thinking like this, Duo'er was about to speak, but a little maid ran out of it and replied: "Fourth master, Niangniang, Concubine Shao gave birth to a boy, and she has no breath. (To be continued.) )
