The morning sun shone in through the window and shone brightly on Shi Guifei's body.

Shi Guifei sat on the carved Taishi chair by the window, looking intently at Zhu Changding, who was sitting on the carpet playing with a cloth rabbit.

Zhu Changding is the son of her and the emperor Zhu Zhi, and he is three years old this year.

She is currently the only child.

Shi Guifei was promoted from a concubine to a concubine because she gave birth to him, and she received the emperor's favor.

Since then, she has devoted herself to cultivating her son and/or serving the emperor, and no longer lingering on the past.

However, Yan Shichong came to her frequently at this time, asking her not to forget the agreement of the year, otherwise he would inform the emperor of the two of them back then.

It stands to reason that with her current status, she can completely shut up from him, but she is still somewhat grateful for his help to her back then, and she still retains some love for him, so she still chooses to compromise after several struggles.

Well, she wants to be queen anyway, and he's willing to help her, so what if she works with him once?

"Sanyuan, Brother Ding is sleepy, you can take him to rest." Shi Guifei said to the little palace maid who was serving on the side.

The palace maid hurriedly carried Zhu Changding back to his exclusive room.

Shi Guifei adjusted her sitting posture slightly, and slowly took out a small bottle from her pocket.

It was a thumb-sized transparent bottle containing reddish-brown powder. The powder refracted its colors in the sunlight. She looked fixedly, her hands trembling slightly.

"This medicine is highly toxic, but when added to this one, it can delay the onset of poisoning/sexuality. Adding a pinch of this powder can make the drug flare up without symptoms. ”

"How long does it usually take for a seizure?"

"A month and a half to two months, no more than three months at the latest."

"Is it okay just once?"

"Yes, once."

She remembered what the divine doctor sent by Yan Shichong had told her three months ago.

If it can be almost two months later, then the incident can be untraceable. She thought to herself.

The sun outside the window is getting stronger and stronger, and it is almost noon, which is the time when the queen is about to eat.

Concubine Shi immediately got up and said to the two palace maids, "Let's go, let's go to Kunning Palace." ”

So the three of them went out of Chonghua Palace.

Empress Kuang finished copying the last word of the thirtieth page of the scripture and put down her pen with satisfaction.

The palace maid thoughtfully brought water to wash her hands.

"Queen, lunch has been prepared, do you want to start eating?" The palace maid asked as she served her to wash her hands.

Empress Kuang looked at the sky outside the window and said, "Yes." Tell them to bring it to them. ”

Instantly. The two palace maids sent by the third prince, Ruping and Ru'an, stepped forward to inspect the food - Ruping first took the silver needle and put it on the meal for a while, and found that the silver needle had not turned black, so she nodded slightly to Ru'an, and Ru'an took a small bite with a special silver spoon to taste it. Not much. If you don't feel any discomfort. I respectfully invited the queen to taste the food.

Look at your favorite dishes on the table. Empress Kuang suddenly felt hungry, and she immediately sat down to eat.

Shi Guifei walked in at this time.

After saluting Empress Kuang, Concubine Shi smiled and said, "The queen's lunch today seems to be a little late." ”

Empress Kuang glanced at her, with a faint smile on her dignified face. Softly said, "Well, did my sister eat it?" Would you like to have something together? ”

"No need, the concubine has eaten just now, thank you for the queen's care!"

"Sit down and talk." Empress Kuang said.

Shi Guifei sat down on a carved wooden stool less than two feet away from her dining table.

"Is there something wrong with me?" Empress Kuang asked.

On weekdays, Concubine Shi rarely visits this point.

Since she was reminded by the third prince last night, Queen Kuang is now paying more attention to her.

"The concubine knows that the queen likes to recite scriptures and is good at studying Buddhism, so yesterday I invited someone to Puhua Temple to ask for a copy of the "Vajra Prajnaparamita Sutra" translated by Kumarosh and a copy of the "Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra" translated by Master Xuanzang, I hope the queen will accept it with a smile!" Shi Guifei said. After that, he asked the palace maid to present the two scriptures.

Queen Kuang immediately put down the dishes and chopsticks, looked at her and said, "I also like these two versions very much, it's rare that my sister has a heart, so I'll accept it." By the way, my sister has been sleeping more peacefully lately? ”

Empress Kuang knew that Concubine Shi often had insomnia.

"If you go back to the queen, the past two days have been a little better, but you will still wake up several times at night, and once you wake up, it will take a long time to fall back asleep." Shi Guifei said.

"You can often drink some millet and lily porridge, these two things together can strengthen the spleen and stomach, and calm the mind." Empress Kuang said, looking at her with a touch of emotion in her eyes than usual.

"Yes, thank you for your concern!"

"By the way, Ganoderma lucidum can also cure mental restlessness, I have two hundred-year-old wild Ganoderma lucidum given by others, so I will give it to you to make wine or boil soup to drink."

Shi Guifei hurriedly said: "Ah, how dare a concubine ask for such a valuable thing?" You might as well keep it for yourself. ”

"It's fine." Empress Kuang said boldly, while motioning to the palace maid to fetch them.

Concubine Shi had to accept it respectfully.

Not long after, Queen Kuang finished lunch and sat opposite Concubine Shi on the Luohan bed.

"The queen's skin is getting better and better, I don't know what the magic solution is?" Concubine Shi asked while pouring tea for Queen Kuang.

Ruping Ru'an stared intently at Shi Guifei's hands pouring tea.

Empress Kuang replied generously: "There is no magic formula, it is nothing more than going to bed early and getting up early every day, insisting on a light diet, and chanting sutras every morning and evening." ”

"The concubine has been taught!" Shi Guifei said respectfully, her eyes looked at Ruping and Ru'an behind Queen Kuang, and found that the two of them were looking at her fiercely, and she couldn't help but change her expressions.

"The queen has added someone again?" Shi Guifei asked with a smile.

"Uh-huh. I saw that the two of them were very well-behaved, so I stayed with them. Empress Kuang said, her eyes swept towards Concubine Shi as if she were nothing.

"That's great!" Shi Guifei said, but secretly complained in her heart.

How did the eyes of these two palace maids seem to see through people? Could it be that Empress Kuang has already noticed something?

Thinking like this, Shi Guifei suddenly wiped a handful of sweat.

Seeing that Queen Kuang finished drinking the cup of tea in her hand, Queen Shi was about to pour her a second cup, but Ruping stepped forward with a smile and said, "It's better for the slave to come." ”

Shi Guifei glanced at her and forced a smile.

"Sister, do you know why you can't sleep soundly?" Suddenly, Empress Kuang looked at her with a smile and asked.

Concubine Shi Guifei's heart trembled inexplicably, and she hurriedly said, "I still hope that the queen will teach her." ”

"In the Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra, it is said that 'the mind is free of obstacles, the mind is free of obstacles, and there is no terror', if the mind is full of troubles, but all appearances are a delusion, so why cling?"

Shi Guifei didn't read Buddhist scriptures on weekdays, because she didn't understand what she meant at once.

"No thoughts, all things are at ease." Empress Kuang said.

"How do you do that?" Shi Guifei asked.

"Take these two books back and study them, and the answers are in them." Empress Kuang said that let people bring out the two scriptures that Concubine Shi just gave again.

Shi Guifei was a little embarrassed, but she was embarrassed to refuse, so she had to reach out and take it.

"I'm going to take a lunch break, so let's go back and rest my sister." Empress Kuang stood up.

"Yes, Good Afternoon, Queen!" Shi Guifei hurriedly said.

When Concubine Shi Guifei walked towards Chonghua Palace with those two scriptures in her hands, her feet were soft, and she didn't know what had absorbed the strength from her body. (To be continued......)
