At this time, two ladies with suitable lives were selected, but no matter how hard Emperor Yuanjia persuaded the ministers, he always only planned to add one concubine. All of a sudden, which of the two daughters could fly on the branches and accompany the Son of Heaven became the most concerned matter for the ministers. Everyone was curious about which one Emperor Yuan Jia would choose between these two women?

What no one expected was that Emperor Yuanjia summoned the two of them into the palace, didn't even look at them, and directly ordered the two of them to be sent to Kunning Palace to serve the queen, saying that since she was choosing a sister for the queen, it was natural for the queen to choose a woman who suited her heart and liked her.

Not many people think there is anything wrong with Emperor Yuan Jia's move, originally, this is one of the responsibilities of the main room to choose a concubine for the husband, only Cui Hu and his wife feel that it is really inappropriate for Emperor Yuan Jia to do this.

As a woman, Yizhi naturally knows that the most painful thing in this world is not that her husband has another woman, but that this other woman was picked by herself. She didn't know if Emperor Yuan Jia's move really loved his wife, or did he want to be angry that her condition would worsen?

And Cui Hu felt that with Qin Fei's temperament, he would not agree to such an absurd mention of choosing a concubine Chongxi. He also asked Qin Fei, but people replied to him with an unfathomable smile and dropped a sentence, "When the queen's illness is cured, you will know." "It's like saying nothing.

He also wondered if his sister Chengjun's selection was something his father had done. Since he came back to see him at the beginning of the year, his father, who had collapsed in bed, was getting better day by day, and now he can walk around the yard with a cane, and if he wants to do something in secret, he also has the ability.

But no matter how he asked, whether it was a side attack or a single knife, Cui Zuoxiang just refused to admit that this matter had something to do with him. Although his expression didn't seem to be fake, Cui Hu was still a little suspicious, so he had to repeatedly persuade his father to write to the official as soon as possible and return to his hometown. As for her sister Cui Chengjun, it is best to let her come home quickly, even if she does not marry for the rest of her life, don't marry into the palace, and there will be no good fruit to eat if she is mixed with the emperor and queen.

When Cui Hu talked with his father for an hour and returned to his room, he saw that Yizhi was changing out of his clothes, so he asked, "When you enter the palace today, how is the queen's phoenix body?" ”

Originally, Yizhi wanted to go into the palace to see her every day because she was worried about Cai Wei, but one of the two ladies to be selected was her sister-in-law, which made her a little embarrassed to see Cai Wei, and she was afraid that she would go too much, and her sister-in-law used her relationship with Cai Wei to get close to the queen. Therefore, since Cui Chengjun entered Kunning Palace for so many days, she still entered the palace for the first time to visit Cai Wei.

"Niangniang's body seems to be much better, and she can sit up and talk to us!" Yizhi hesitated for a moment and said, "I don't know if it's because there are two more people with the right life in Kunning Palace." ”

Cui Hucai didn't believe this nonsense and asked, "Can you see Chengjun?" ”

Yizhi shook her head, "Although she and the girl of the Zhang family live in Kunning Palace, the two of them live alone in a room, except for going to the queen mother in the morning and evening to say a few words together, they are not allowed to enter and leave the queen's bedroom, only stay in the house to copy books for the queen." I heard that they have not seen the saint yet. ”

Cui Hu looked at her expression carefully, his brows furrowed slightly, "You entered the palace today, but what happened?" ”

Yizhi was shocked, knowing that they had been married for many years, but her husband still saw some clues, and reluctantly smiled: "No, what can happen to me?" It's just that the queen blamed me for not going to see her these days, and said that Chengjun's matter told me not to take it to heart. My mother treated me like this, which made me feel more and more ...... It's just a little uncomfortable. ”

Cui Hu held his wife's hand, it was the hottest time of the year, but her palms were wet and cold, which couldn't help but make him suspicious, and asked again, "I really haven't encountered anything else?" ”

Yizhi pulled his hand out of his palm, shook his head and said, "It's really nothing, I think it's sweating when I came back, and another gust of cold wind blew, and I had a headache, just lie down for a while." ”

Seeing her say this, Cui Hu didn't ask any more, watched her lie on the couch, covered her with a thin quilt, and looked at her for a while before gently exiting the inner room and going to the study to deal with official business.

Listening to the sound of her husband's wheelchair gradually disappearing, Yizhi on the couch turned in, although her eyes were still closed, tears flowed down the corners of her eyes endlessly, drop by drop, like beads with broken threads.

Just now she didn't dare to tell her husband that she was indeed in trouble today, or a big incident!

When she just returned home half an hour ago, she was called by her mother-in-law Cui Kexin, and she didn't care at the time, thinking that her mother-in-law was just asking her about her sister-in-law's situation in Kunning Palace. But she never expected that her mother-in-law had dug such a big pit and buried half of her in the pit, and if she wanted to climb out of this pit, she had to do something for her, a big event that would cost her life!

"Do you think Princess Xianyou died of a sudden illness for no reason? Yan'er's nurse said to me with a panicked look, the day before the little princess became ill, you took Yan'er into the palace, she didn't pay attention, Yan'er fed the little princess an almond candy to eat, but that night, the little princess died of illness, and I don't know if she was really sick? Or did you eat something you shouldn't eat? ”

At that time, after Yizhi heard these words, the whole person was stunned all of a sudden, how could the death of this little princess be involved with her Yan'er? When she came back to her senses, the clothes on her back were already half wet, and she hurriedly argued, "What does this have to do with Yan'er?" Every time I brought Yan'er into the palace, I never allowed him to bring anything over, and I had already taught him not to feed the little princess anything. ”

"How old is Yan'er, will he definitely do it if you say it? Aren't these kids all like to share their favorite candies with their playmates? ”

Yizhi was afraid that his son would really do this, so he had to tell his son again and again before entering the palace and check his body again. Could it be that Yan'er was really disobedient and secretly brought something into the palace, but-

"Even if Yan'er really brought something in, the nurses around the little princess took care of them very carefully, and when the two children played together, they followed with a good eye every time. If Yan'er wanted to feed the little princess something, she would definitely be stopped by them. ”

"It's just feeding a jelly bean the size of a red bean, and if you miss it for a moment, you will feed it to your mouth, and it's not surprising that the nurses didn't see it."

The cold sweat on Yizhi's back seeped more and more, "But even if Yan'er really fed the little princess a piece of marzipan, it wouldn't kill the little princess?" Although almonds are slightly poisonous, they will not be poisoned if they eat a little, not to mention that there is still a little bit of marzipan, even if you eat it, you will be fine! ”

"My son, don't you know that there are people in this world who can't touch some ingredients? It's okay for others to eat, as long as they get a little bit of it, they will have to worry about their lives! Anyway, no matter how you quibble, the little princess was sick in exactly the same way as she was poisoned by an overdose of almonds, and the day before she became ill, your own son fed her a marzipan. These are all unequivocal facts, and your son's nurse is the best witness. β€œ

Yizhi suddenly understood, and when she spoke again, her voice was extremely difficult, "It turns out that Mama Li was actually bought by her wife, no wonder she, no wonder she is-"

Yizhi was angry and hateful, and couldn't speak for a long time, this nurse Li was also carefully selected by their husband and wife for their son back then, and she nursed her son for three years, took care of her very carefully, never neglected at all, and was very respectful to her as a lady. Except for being timid, and always talking like a mosquito humming in front of people, I can't find anything wrong. Who would have thought that such a timid and honest woman would betray their husband and wife, and was bribed by Cui Kexin, who secretly hid the marzipan for Yan'er regardless of her wishes, and most likely instigated him to feed the sugar to the little princess. Sure enough, it is a day and night defense, and it is difficult to prevent thieves!

Seeing that Yizhi's face was pale and shaky with anger, Cui Kexin said with a smile: "Even if she is really bought by me?" The most direct murderer who killed the little princess is your son, even if you pull me into the water, I will lose everything, can your son escape the catastrophe? Even if you don't give your son to the princess after God, there are too many ways to kill a child. β€œ

"Right now, there's only one way to save your son's life!"

Yizhi glared at her angrily, "Don't you want to threaten me with this matter, I will enter the palace early tomorrow morning and tell the Holy Lord and the Empress the truth of this matter, and I will take the blame!" They are all understanding people, and they know that my Yan'er is just being used by the wicked, and they will spare his life. ”

"Hahahaha!" Cui Kexin seemed to have heard some ridiculous joke and laughed out loud. "My son, should I say that you are naΓ―ve, or are you stupid? This is another person who understands, can the revenge of killing women be forgotten? What's more, it's not certain that Queen Zhou will be able to have another child in the future! If she can't have another child, then this daughter is her only child, and you will be killed by your son. Even if you don't want your son's life now, when Yan'er grows older day by day and is seen by the queen, she can't help but think, 'If my daughter hadn't been killed by this kid, she would have been slim by now!' It's a pity that she died before she was a year old, but this kid has grown up so big all the way without disaster or disease, God is really unfair! ’”

"I've thought too much about these thoughts, do you think the queen will do something more? Even if she doesn't want his life, but if he can't get out of the life and is poor, it can still make her feel evil. ”

Cui Kexin said slowly: "My son, you only have one child, Yan'er, since the miscarriage, you can't give birth anymore!" Do you really want to put your only son's future life on the innocent idea that the queen will not take revenge? This is the most unpredictable of people's hearts! ”

"What the hell do you want me to do?" Yizhi finally roared out uncontrollably.

Cui Kexin took out a sachet from his sleeve, "I don't want you to do anything, you just need to wear this sachet when you go back to the palace to accompany the queen." Then I will restrain Mama Li for you, and let her not reveal the fact that Yan'er killed the little princess, and we don't have to break the net, but we are all happy! ”

"What's in this sachet and what are the consequences?" Yizhi asked vigilantly.

"It's nothing, but with a few special spices, ordinary people smell nothing, but people who have been sick for a long time will induce madness after smelling it, and they will die of madness within ten days."

"You actually asked me to harm the queen?" Yizhi was shocked, it turned out that this Mrs. Cui didn't even look down on the imperial concubine, what she really wanted her daughter to do was the queen's throne.

"What are you afraid of, the method of this sachet is unaware, who will find out? When the queen goes crazy, you will destroy the sachet, as long as I don't say it, no one in this world will know. Besides, only if the queen dies, His Majesty marries another newcomer, and has a son, naturally he will no longer pursue how the little princess died. Only then will your precious son be able to sit back and relax! ”

Looking at the vicious smile of this stepmother-in-law, Yizhi couldn't wait to spit on her, "What is the heart of the wife, my uncle has known it for a long time, but it is because of the father-son relationship of the same father that he called you 'Mrs.'." Even though Yan'er is not his wife's own grandson, but he is the eldest grandson of Xiangye, if you design Yan'er like this, aren't you afraid that Xiangye will know and punish you as a poisonous woman? ”

"Hahahaha, I'm a poisonous woman?" Cui Kexin laughed sharply: "If I am a poisonous woman, then Xiangye is a poisonous man!" Do you think I'm doing it myself? Not at all, it's your good father-in-law, it's he who forced me to do it! ”

Cui Kexin remembered what her husband said to her a few months ago.

"Find a way to let the queen return to heaven by herself, just like you asked my original wife to return to the West by herself."
