Fu Qizheng walked into the Qianning Palace, the dormitory was empty and did not see Emperor Yuan, but saw a painting scroll on the table next to him, he was curious, walked to the table and spread out the picture scroll on the table, it was actually the painting painted in the Qianning Palace that day, but there was a back in the painting, a light blue long skirt dragged to the ground, green silk up to the waist, standing by the lake, blending with the surrounding scenery, and natural. The surprise was overflowing, and in an instant, his waist was warm, and he was surrounded by Emperor Yuan from behind, and a warm voice came from his ears, "Do you like it?" ”

Fu Qizheng nodded, and after a long time, he said, "Why does the emperor hide from his concubines." ”

"What do you mean by that?"

Fu Qizheng turned to look at Emperor Yuan, frowning: "The emperor already knows that the current situation has exceeded what he expected when he planned it, Wang Yong's rebellious heart is clearly revealed, the emperor is out of the palace at this moment, if he can't wait for the Yongan army to withdraw......"

Before Fu Qizheng finished speaking, Emperor Yuan resolutely said: "The arrow is on the string, there is no room for a moment's hesitation, even if the crisis is lurking, I have to go." Glancing at the scroll again, "You will keep this painting for the time being, and I will ...... when I return."

He is the king of Daning, and there is no room for thieves in this world, and he is alone in danger just because it is his duty to keep this country and eternal peace. Fu Qizheng hugged Emperor Yuan: "The concubines wait for the emperor to come back, and the emperor must come back safely." His head rested lightly on his shoulder, and tears fell like beads in an instant, soaking his bright yellow shirt.

Emperor Yuan chuckled lightly and hugged him tighter: "I promise you." ”

Knowing that this is unpredictable, no one can predict it, but he still expects him to make a promise and talk about comfort, Fu Qizheng looked up at Emperor Yuan, and smiled with tears: "You have no jokes." ”

Emperor Yuan did not speak, covered his warm lips with his lips, and lingered and kissed lightly.

In the morning, Fu Qizheng personally put on the military uniform for Emperor Yuan, meticulously and meticulously sorted out before taking a few steps back, raising his eyes to see him wearing armor for the first time, his heart was very happy, and he couldn't help but know that this armor with a cold light was a sign of clothing carrying the country. took the saber handed by Li Changhai, knelt in front of Emperor Yuan, and held the Wang sword with both hands.

Emperor Yuan took it, hung it on his side, helped Fu Qizheng up, and said softly: "I am gone." ”

When he said goodbye, Fu Qizheng calmly didn't dare to look at him anymore, and nodded lightly.

Emperor Yuan moved out of Qianning Palace, and Qi Huanyi led the guards to wait outside Qianning Palace. Fu Qizheng followed out, and kowtowed in front of the palace gate: "Congratulations to the emperor." ”

When he got up, Emperor Yuan had already left, and the figure of that line gradually drifted away, and there was no trace of it.

Back in Jingyi Palace, Fu Qizheng sat on the couch, his expression was gloomy, and he held the talisman tightly in his hand.

Nian Jinan stood beside Fu Qizheng and whispered: "Niangniang, the palace maid named Yan'er is willing to tell the truth, but she wants Niangniang to go in person." ”

Fu Qizheng said lightly: "She has been cleared out of Jingyi Palace by this palace, no matter how big it is, it will be difficult to become a scourge, and let her wait." ”

"Today, the slave maid heard that the fourth princess has been sick for several days, and there is no improvement after looking for the imperial doctor."

Fu Qizheng finally couldn't help but go to visit, the nurse was walking around the hall with Hui Ying in her arms, Wen Yue sat anxiously, looking a lot haggard, and the powder was not applied, showing that she had no intention of grooming.

Fu Qizheng walked into the hall, and Wen Yue got up and owed: "Sister." "Get up, I heard that Hui Ying is sick, this palace will come and take a look." As he spoke, he walked to the nurse's side, saw that Hui Ying's little face was flushed, reached out to probe her forehead, frowned, and said, "Why is it burning so badly." ”

"Hui Ying's illness came and went, and the fever burned again in less than half a day, and the doctor was helpless, no matter how good this is, I blame me for not taking good care of Hui Ying." Wen Yue blamed herself.

Fu Qizheng immediately instructed Nian Jin'an: "Go and call all the imperial doctors." He looked at Wen Yue again, "Don't worry, one imperial doctor can't do it, other imperial doctors can always deal with it." ”

The Russian Imperial Doctor rushed in and saluted: "See Concubine Aya and Lan Ronghua." Fu Qizheng hurriedly said: "Don't delay, all adults, come and show the fourth princess." ”

Fu Qizheng and Wen Yue sat and waited in the hall together, and the bowl on the table next to them attracted Fu Qizheng's attention, so he asked, "What is this?" ”

"It's Hui Ying's rice cereal, Hui Ying is sick like this, what to feed and spit out, this rice cereal can't be swallowed in a mouthful, I'm really going to die."

Fu Qizheng took a closer look at the bowl, and the rice cereal was not unusual, only felt a slight aroma, not like the taste of grain.

Fu Qizheng then said to Nian Jin'an: "Auntie, go and ask Doctor Wan to come over." ”

Nian Jin'an then went to the crowd and called Doctor Wan over.

"Ayafei Niangniang." Doctor Wan arched his hand.

"How about the four princesses."

"The fourth princess is not like the wind and cold, sometimes good and sometimes bad, capricious, I don't know what it is and the cause for a while, and the ministers must find out the symptoms before they can prescribe the right medicine."

"Doctor Wan will take a look at this rice cereal first, and the palace smells like a slight aroma."

Imperial Physician Wan took the bowl and sniffed it carefully, and said, "It is the taste of osmanthus flowers, although the amount is very small, it is still not enough to completely ignore it." ”

Wen Yue was shocked: "How can there be osmanthus, this concubine is allergic to osmanthus, it is not that Huiying's illness is also caused by this osmanthus." ”

"Eight or nine are not far from ten, fortunately, the mother noticed it in time, otherwise the princess is afraid of her life in the long run, so I think that the princess's condition is repeated and improved by fasting, and eating will be triggered after the condition improves."

Fu Qizheng angrily asked: "Who is taking care of the princess's meal, how can there be osmanthus in the good rice cereal." ”

The maids knelt down, and a maid said, "Back to Niangniang, the princess's meals have always been prepared by Mama Fang." ”

"Where is she?"

"It should be in the pantry at this moment."

Fu Qizheng glanced at Nian Jin'an, Nian Jin'an understood, and took a few internal prisoners to get people.

"Sister, it turned out that someone wanted to harm my Hui Ying, I was careless, I should have smelled the osmanthus added to it, and I wouldn't let Hui Ying suffer these hardships, the emperor is not in the palace, I am afraid that our mother and daughter will be killed, and no one will care."

Fu Qizheng frowned and said, "The more you talk about it, the more unreasonable it becomes, the imperial doctor is still here, don't be confused." ”

"It's good to find out the root cause, just avoid using this thing again, and the princess will recover in a few days." Doctor Wan said.

Hearing what the imperial physician said, Wenyue was relieved, Fu Qizheng asked the imperial physician to retreat, and after a while, Nian Jin'an came in to reply: "Niangniang, someone brought it." ”

Two internal supervisors pressed an old woman inside, and the old woman knelt down and kowtowed: "The slave maid has seen Concubine Aya." ”

"Say, why does the princess's meal have the taste of osmanthus?"

"This ...... Xu is slave maid steamed osmanthus cake and then went to the princess to make rice cereal, leaving the taste. ”

Fu Qizheng asked Nian Jin'an: "In the past few days, which palace in Jingyi Palace has ordered the dining room to make osmanthus cakes." ”

Nian Jin'an replied: "Back to Niangniang, the records of the meals and pastries received by each palace are read by the slaves and maids every day, and none of the concubines have osmanthus cakes in their recent meals. ”

"Do you hear me?"

Mama Fang hesitated again: "Slave maid...... The slave and maid remembered wrongly, it was not the osmanthus cake that was brewed with osmanthus wine......"

"You are the grandmother who takes care of the meals of the four princesses, unlike the other minions in the dining room, is it possible that the dining room of Jingyi Palace is so cold that you are the only one, and you want to do everything yourself?"

Wen Yue was angry: "This concubine asks you, who asked you to harm the princess." ”

Mama Fang panicked, and only insisted: "The slave doesn't know." ”

Seeing this, Nian Jinan said to Fu Qizheng: "Niangniang, if she refuses to say, it is better to hand her over to the Criminal Division, and save Niangniang from bothering, the Criminal Division will naturally have a way for her to speak, and let the Criminal Division use those methods one by one, so as not to worry about her not opening her mouth." ”

When Mama Fang heard this, she was frightened, and hurriedly said: "Niangniang spare her life, the slave said, yes...... It was the Yan'er girl who asked the slave maid to use the water that had boiled osmanthus to prepare food for the little princess, the osmanthus was non-toxic, and the slave maid thought that there was nothing wrong with it, so she did so, and the slave maid really didn't know that the osmanthus would harm the princess. ”

Wen Yue was shocked: "How could it be Yan'er, you are talking nonsense." ”

"What the slave said is true, it was Miss Yan'er who told the slave to do this, and gave the slave and maid some silver."

Fu Qizheng asked again: "If you don't know, why did you swallow and vomit before?" ”

"Slave maid, slave maid is afraid."

Fu Qizheng immediately said: "Come on, escort her to the Criminal Division to guard her, the punishment can be waived for the time being, and the palace will find out everything before dealing with it." ”

"How could it be Yan'er." Wen Yue was still in disbelief.

Fu Qizheng got up and looked at Wen Yue and said: "This matter will be investigated by the palace, and no one will be allowed to harm Hui Ying, take good care of Hui Ying." ”

Huanshang Bureau, a place of bitterness. Fu Qizheng walked into a hut and sat down, and a palace maid was escorted into the room, Fu Qizheng recognized the person, so he said lightly: "The people in this palace are here, let's say it." ”

"Niangniang has to promise the slave maid a condition, and the slave will tell the maid everything."

"You have fallen into such a field and dare to negotiate conditions with this palace, do you know where this is, Huanshang Bureau." Fu Qizheng got up and raised his eyes to look around the room, and suddenly pointed to the beam and said, "There was a friend in this palace who hanged himself on this beam." ”

Yan'er took the opportunity to look at the beam, and said with some trepidation: "The slave and maid are dead, and the mother can't know who the master behind the slave and maid is." ”

"Then tell me what the conditions are."

"The slave maid wants the mother to protect the slave and the maid's life, and send the slave and maid out of the palace."

Fu Qizheng smiled lightly: "It depends on whether your so-called truth is worth such a big reward from this palace, do you know that it is easier to die in this palace than to live, let alone send you out of the palace." ”

"The master of the slave is Concubine Wei, it can also be said to be Shu Concubine, when the emperor appointed Lan Ronghua, the concubine was worried that it would become a big trouble to hinder Shu Concubine, so she sent the slave to Lan Ronghua's side, bewitching Lan Ronghua and letting her make mistakes step by step, but the slave didn't expect that the mother was willing to block so many turmoil for Lan Ronghua, so the concubine asked the slave to do the next thing is to provoke the sisterhood between the mother and Lan Ronghua, Lan Ronghua did not have the protection of the mother, she was difficult to protect herself, and then Lan Ronghua fell out of favor, the mother was favored, and the concubine regarded the mother as a big trouble, Although the slave maid was by Lan Ronghua's side, the concubine asked the slave and maid to instigate Lan Ronghua to compete for favor, and let the mother and Lan Ronghua sisters fight, and both lost. ”

Fu Qizheng paced slowly in the room: "This palace knows your master's intentions, but this palace is curious that the attention you gave Lan Ronghua is not to help her compete for favor, but to make the emperor disgusted with Lan Ronghua. Fu Qizheng turned his eyes to look at Yan'er, paused and said, "But this palace looks at you so smart, it should be the latter." ”

"The slave maid is deliberate, Niangniang and her are like sisters, the slave and maid want to let Lan Ronghua offend the emperor, maybe she can implicate Niangniang, even if she can't be implicated, Niangniang will intercede for Lan Ronghua or still bear everything for her, so it is difficult for Niangniang to retreat, but it can be regarded as a lose-lose."

Fu Qizheng was very puzzled: "Then why don't you do what the concubine said, and directly help her compete for favor, but instead gamble so much on the palace." ”

"Because the slave maid knows that Lan Ronghua can't compete with the mother, the emperor's favorite from the beginning is the mother, and the slave and maid have long learned from Shu Concubine that Lan Ronghua is favored only because the emperor recognized the wrong person, and it happened that the mother was beaten into the Yuming Palace again, and Lan Ronghua became a favorite concubine with the shadow of the mother." Yan'er smiled bitterly again, "Lan Ronghua can be stable to this day, not because the concubine is unintentional, nor is it because the slave is incompetent, but because her name as a favorite concubine is just in name only, and it is not enough to become a concubine." What if she was favored at the beginning, what is fake is fake, how could the emperor not notice it, the longer he stayed with her, the more he found that she was just a shadow, and only the people in Luomeitai knew that the emperor favored Lan Ronghua on the surface, but in fact, he had never stayed in Luomeitai, and his special care for her was only for the sake of the shadow, which was better than other concubines who didn't even have a shadow. ”

Yan'er saw Fu Qizheng's face in surprise as if she didn't believe it, and said: "Even on the way to the south, the night when the emperor was drunk and came to Lan Ronghua, he shouted the name of the mother, but Lan Ronghua was lucky, and there was an heir that night, but unfortunately in the end she was a princess, how could she fight with the mother." He smiled and said, "The concubine and Concubine Shu will not let the slave and maid go if they know that the slave and maid betrayed, and the slave and maid told the mother this, but it is worth the mother to save the slave and the maid's life?" ”

Hearing this, Fu Qizheng was already full of emotions, but he had to suppress the panic in his heart and asked, "Princess Huiying's meal ......?"

Yan'er immediately said: "It was Shu Concubine who ordered the slave to do it, even if it is a princess, it is better to have it than to have it." ”

Coming out of the Huanshang Bureau, Fu Qizheng walked forward silently, happy or worried.

Knowing that there was no one in the hall, Fu Qizheng couldn't help but go, only looking at it from a distance outside the Qianning Palace, he was already lovesick. When he returned to Jingyi Palace, he traced on rice paper in his memory, dressed in military uniform. Fingers touch the face on the painting, looking forward to your early return.

Chen Xiying has already attacked Hui Ying, how can Fu Qizheng sit still, but how to prove Chen and Concubine Wei has become a big problem. In addition, there was no news outside the palace that Emperor Yuan had stabilized in the army, and Fu Qizheng was even more restless for a few days, holding a tea cup and not drinking it for a long time.

"Niangniang, it's not good, the Taihe army has mutinied, I heard that it is chasing the emperor, and Shu Jingwei has rushed to rescue him."

Fu Qizheng was stunned suddenly, and the tea cup slipped from his palm in an instant and shattered to the ground.
