Chapter 136 The Queen's Scheme
Leng Xiang was ordered to go to the imperial pharmacy, and Gonggong Li of the imperial pharmacy saw that it was the palace maid beside the queen, so he respectfully served good tea and asked her to sit on the chair of the imperial pharmacy with silver thread embroidered with ink. Gonggong Li turned his head and entered the inner room of the imperial pharmacy.
"Auntie, Aunt Leng Xiang next to the queen mother has come to get the medicine, and she asked for the red jade cold balm. Look, do you want our family to give her ideas? ”
Leng Yu was sitting in the inner room of the Imperial Pharmacy, looking at the accounts of the Imperial Pharmacy. She is now supervising this imperial pharmacy all day long, for fear that some medicines will be taken away by other palace people. And Gonggong Li, the director of the imperial pharmacy, could only compliment Leng Yu in every way.
Who doesn't know that Leng Yu is the most powerful aunt by Jing Shengwu's side, and Jing Shengwu lets Leng Yu do everything. Now Jing Shengwu is a celebrity around the emperor, and his momentum is comparable to that of Concubine De back then.
"Oh? Did she bring our princess's warrant? Leng Yu frowned, did not raise his head, only carefully looked at the accounts in his hand.
"This ...... Aunt Leng Xiang only said that she was ordered by the queen's mother, and did not bring any warrant. Gonggong Li said hesitantly.
Hearing this, Leng Yu raised his eyes and glanced at Gonggong Li coldly, "Our Princess Changle has issued an edict, as long as it is a place to take medicine, you must personally go to our princess to get a warrant." Without a warrant, our princess will not give anything. ”
As he spoke, Leng Yu's eyes became even colder, "Gonggong Li, you are the old man of this imperial pharmacy, why, can't you even do this idea order?" The refining of this elixir is the emperor's will, how can it be neglected? If this red jade balm is exactly what the princess has in the prescription, can you afford it? ”
The pill that Wu Liang wants to refine is said to be the secret medicine of the Xianwu clan. This prescription is even more expensive, and it cannot be passed on lightly. Therefore, Wu Liang entrusted the prescription of this secret medicine to Jing Shengwu, and only let her keep it by herself, and even the emperor couldn't see a word.
Now the medicines in this palace are all monitored by Leng Yu, unless he goes to Jing Shengwu in person to confirm that there is no such medicine in the prescription, otherwise he will not get the warrant. And there is no warrant. Naturally, you can't get the medicine.
Seeing Leng Yu getting angry, Gonggong Li broke out in a cold sweat on his head. He immediately nodded respectfully, arched his hand at Leng Yu, and left the inner room of this imperial pharmacy.
watched Father-in-law Li lift the curtain and go out. A hint of playfulness flashed in Leng Yu's eyes. Now, this qiē has been done, just waiting for the cold incense to throw itself into the net. If Leng Xiang opened his mouth, then the queen's fox tail would not be hidden for long.
"What. This Leng Yu didn't even give a little red jade cold balm? This ointment is not a precious medicine, even if Wu Liang Gongzi wants to refine the pill, he may not be able to use it! Leng Xiang sat in the outer room, heard Gonggong Li's reply, and immediately reprimanded angrily.
Gonggong Li only stood with his waist bowed, not daring to interject for half a sentence. Now these two aunts are powerful people in the palace, and he can't afford to offend any of them.
"Hmph, let that Leng Yu come out, Aunt Ben won't believe it, and even a plaster will be treasured. It's really a childish person, and I haven't seen anything good! Leng Xiang scolded angrily, pinching his waist and standing in the outer room of the imperial pharmacy.
"Yo, who made our Aunt Leng Xiang so angry? Father-in-law Li, this Aunt Leng Xiang is the person next to the queen, how can you snub her? Why don't you hurry up and bring the ointment to Aunt Leng Xiang? ”
Just as Gonggong Li nodded his head, Leng Yu lifted the curtain and came out of the inner room. But the words in her mouth made Gonggong Li instantly break out in a cold sweat on his forehead.
She didn't let this go, so why did she blame herself? But Gonggong Li didn't dare to say more. He only respectfully took the ointment and handed it to Leng Xiang.
"Wait, bring it to me and take a look at it, something for the queen's mother. Don't dare to make the slightest mistake. Seeing that the ointment was about to be delivered to Leng Xiang's hand, Leng Yu stepped forward and took the ointment over with a loud lama.
A cold light flashed in Leng Xiang's eyes, Leng Yu was still the first person who dared to snatch things in front of her.
"Well, it's a red jade balm. It seems that this Gonggong Li did not dare to perfunctory our queen mother. Leng Yujing opened the ointment box, picked an idea and sniffed it, and said with a chuckle, "Aunt Leng Xiang, this medicine is right, please bring the warrant to my aunt." ”
"Warrant, what warrant?" Leng Xiang was confused, "Aunt Ben has been ordered by the queen mother to take this ointment for the queen mother's treatment." Wherever there is a warrant, give me this ointment quickly. ”
"So, there's no warrant?" Leng Yu's face turned cold at the moment, "I'm sorry, Aunt Leng Yu." Now that our emperor is refining pills, he has issued a holy decree that all the imperial medicines in this imperial pharmacy must be used by Wu Liang Gongzi. If there was no warrant from Princess Changle, we wouldn't dare to give this medicine to my aunt. ”
Hearing this, Leng Xiang finally understood what Leng Yu meant. She looked at the ointment in Leng Yu's hand with a cold face, and her voice was as cold as the cold wind in the Nine Hells, "So, you don't want to give me this ointment?" ”
Looking at Leng Xiang's cold face, as well as Leng Yu's respectful appearance, Gonggong Li quietly took two steps back. Looking at the appearance of this cold incense, the anger was suppressed to the extreme. One is the queen and the other is the aunt of Princess Changle, and he can't afford to mess with these two people.
"Aunt Leng Xiang can go to our Changle Palace and ask for the princess's warrant, and Aunt Ben will definitely present this ointment with both hands." Leng Yu didn't get angry, only said with a smile, "But if Aunt Leng Xiang doesn't have a warrant, then I'm sorry, this ointment can't be given to my aunt." ”
"Leng Yu, you are so bold! This ointment is used by the queen mother to heal her wounds, and even your princess has to be respectful to the queen mother, how dare you stop this aunt from taking the medicine? Leng Xiang couldn't bear it anymore, and scolded coldly at the moment.
"Hmph, even if it's the queen's mother, this medicine is used by the emperor to refine the pill, and no matter who is in the six palaces, you have to take a warrant to get the medicine. Aunt Ben doesn't recognize anything, she only recognizes the princess's warrant! Leng Yu also frowned and glared angrily.
"Smack!"
Leng Xiang couldn't hold back the anger in her heart anymore, and raised her palm to give Leng Yu a slap. Since she has become a celebrity next to this queen mother, who dares to speak to her like this? Everyone in the palace saw that she was not respectful, and they didn't dare to come out.
"This ointment is for the queen mother, if anything happens, you just have to come to the Millennium Palace to find Aunt Ben. Hmph, the pheasant has become a phoenix, and it is still holding chicken feathers as arrows! I don't look at what my princess is. It's here to show off with Aunt Ben. ”
Leng Xiang proudly glanced at Leng Yu, who was stunned in place, and walked away with the ointment in his hand. Leng Yu covered his cheeks as if he was in disbelief. It wasn't until Leng Xiang left that she slowly took a handkerchief and wiped her face. The corners of his lips picked up a smile that seemed to be wrong.
In the corner, looking at Father-in-law Li like Leng Xiang, he suddenly shivered.
In the Fengtian Palace, Chu Heng was quietly listening to Leng Yu's cry below, and Jing Shengwu next to him interjected a few words from time to time. With Leng Yu's narration. The angry look on his face also became heavier and heavier.
"Go, give me this person who dares to disrespect the princess and insult the princess, and arrest him to serve in the Punishment Division!" After listening to Leng Yu's cry, Chu Heng couldn't bear it anymore, and said on tiptoe at the moment.
Seeing that the emperor was so angry, Li Ya trembled at the moment, and immediately respectfully ordered to go to the Millennium Palace to bring people.
Recently, Emperor Chu Heng's face has become more and more young and handsome under the effect of the pill, and even his hair has become jet black.
But Chu Heng's temperament. But he became a little impatient. It's easy to talk about other things, but as long as you are contaminated with this pill, you will not recognize your relatives and be irritable. Now that this pill is almost going to become Chu Heng's lifeline, if he doesn't eat it for a day, he feels that his vitality seems to be cut off with this pill.
"Father, don't blame the queen for this. This matter was originally a strange minister, thinking that Wu Liang Gongzi was going to refine the pill, and he might not have to use any medicinal materials, so he asked Leng Yu to supervise it in the imperial pharmacy. "Seeing Chu Heng so irritable. Jing Shengwu was immediately blessed and respectfully persuaded.
"If I had known that it was used by the queen mother to treat her injuries, the retainers would have personally asked Leng Yu to offer it, and would not let Leng Yu stop it with more mouths."
"Heal wounds, heal wounds. She had been treated for more than ten days, but it didn't get better. A small burn turned out to be so expensive, what did she think she was? ”
Hearing this, Chu Heng said impatiently, and pinched the golden town dragon head in his hand fiercely. Grumpy breath. Surrounded by Chu Heng's body. "Besides, this Leng Xiang is just a palace maid, and she dares to insult my princess like this, it's really lawless!"
"Now that my father has sent Leng Xiang to the Shen Punishment Division, my son is afraid that the queen will take care of her personal affairs, and this thing that has slapped the face of the royal family cannot be spared. Why don't you let this cold incense's interrogation and punishment be in charge of Erchen? ”
Looking at Chu Heng's uncertain breath, Jing Shengwu didn't have any fear in her heart, she was blessed softly. There was no expression on the cold face.
Hearing this, Chu Heng glanced at her and nodded.
Achieving the result he wanted, Jing Shengwu took Leng Yu and directly retired to the Shen Criminal Division. Looking at the black vermilion lacquer gate of the Shen Penal Division, like a beast with its mouth open to devour human life, Jing Shengwu raised a sneer at the corner of his lips.
"What's going on, how could Leng Xiang be punished by the emperor's decree and sent to the Shen Penal Division?" In the Millennium Palace, the queen walked around the inner hall in a rage. Her usually beautiful and dignified face is now full of anxiety.
Leng Xiang is her most powerful confidant, and she has been loyal to her all these years. Not long after she asked Leng Xiang to get the medicine and turn it back, Li Ya led someone to take Leng Xiang away. Between the words, he was very unkind to the queen.
Although the queen had the intention to stop it, in the end, Li Ya came by holy order, and the queen could not stop it in the slightest, so she could only watch Leng Xiang being taken away by them. Now there is no news coming back, which makes the queen have a bad premonition in her heart.
"Niangniang, there is news, our people in front of the emperor said that Aunt Leng Xiang took medicine to cause trouble. Now the imperial medicines in this palace are all supervised by Princess Changle and used by His Majesty the Emperor to refine the pills. Anyone who wants to take medicine must have a warrant from the princess. ”
Just when the queen was anxious, the palace maid she sent out to inquire about the news hurriedly ran back, and Fu said respectfully underground. When she heard that Leng Xiang had insulted Princess Changle and slapped Leng Yu, the queen slapped her hateful palm on her golden phoenix soft couch.
"Stupid, stupid, how can this cold incense be so ignorant!" The queen stroked her forehead in annoyance, but she was thinking about it in her heart. Now that the cold fragrance has fallen into Jing Shengwu's hands, I am afraid that it will not be easy if I don't peel off the skin.
Seeing the queen who pulled Concubine De down from the throne by Jing Shengwu, she naturally knew what a ruthless heart she had under the face of this seemingly gentle girl. can force Concubine De and Zhao Xiyan to death together, this means that the queen can't do it by asking herself.
If she is just holding grudges and revenge now, she doesn't have to worry about it. But thinking of the relationship between Jing Shengwu and Rong Chu, the queen's heart was half cold again. In the past, although Rong Chu wanted to attack the people around the queen, he didn't have the opportunity. Moreover, he is in the front court, so he can't meddle in the affairs of the harem.
But Jing Shengwu is different, she is the eldest princess of the six palaces, and the power is in her hands. If Leng Xiang can't withstand the interrogation and summons something else......
The queen's dignified face flashed with a fierce look. That thing is absolutely not allowed to be spit out of Leng Xiang's mouth. When Jing Shengwu really investigated, he had no choice but to give up Leng Xiang. Otherwise, I'm afraid that she won't be able to keep her position as the queen!
"Leng Sui, you go to tell our people in the Shen Punishment Division, and always pay attention to Leng Xiang's movements. If she says something she shouldn't say at that time, she will go directly to the Punishment Division! ”
Having made up her mind, the queen made a gesture to wipe her neck to the palace maid who was kneeling on the ground, and said coldly. Leng Sui saw the queen's expression, his heart trembled, and he respectfully retired at the moment.
Shen Penal Division, this is the place that the people of Hegong Palace are most afraid of, except for the cold palace. The people in charge of the punishment here are all old men left behind in the pile of dead people on the battlefield, and there will be no softness in their hands. When the palace people came here, almost none of them were able to get out alive.
The aura of death that has been dying for many years has solidified here, and even the sky above the Punishment Division makes people feel a little uneasy. When the people who came and went to the palace saw this, they would lower their heads and stay away, unwilling to step into this prudent punishment division.
At this time, Jing Shengwu was quietly standing outside the gate of the Shen Criminal Division. (To be continued.) )
