Back at Xinglin Hutong, Lu Ying stepped forward and said: "The bright moon is coming, and the prince will go to rest when he returns home." ”

Cui Keyin was finally relieved and said, "I know." ”

The Jiang family and the big Jiang family breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Cui Keyin coming back with all the beards and tails.

Early the next morning, Mingyue sent a letter from Zhou Heng, saying that she had to go to the palace to serve her illness and could not accompany her to Yihua Garden to enjoy the snow.

Cui Keyin put the letter into the purple gold box, and then wrote a reply to Zhou Heng, thinking that he was in the palace, and he might not be able to see it immediately, so he couldn't help but be a little stunned.

I sat by the window for a long time, cleaned up my thoughts, and made a plate of incense.

Cui Keyin is happy to be quiet, since she was a child, she has read a lot of books, learned the method of making incense from books, and has done it several times in Taiping Lane before.

She is concentrating on making incense here, but things from outside keep coming in. Liu Youdao, the imperial historian, once again played a fold and asked for a strict investigation of Li Mingfeng's poisoning, and then the imperial historians of the Metropolitan Procuratorate all wrote to ask for a re-investigation of the matter as if they had discussed it.

Then, the Wucheng Terracotta Division found several nameless male corpses, and after investigation, these nameless male corpses were all servants of the Dingxing Marquis Mansion. As a result, the civil and military officials were in an uproar again, and all the civil officials took action to condemn Dingxing Hou Caokan's life.

It is legal to buy and sell slaves in this dynasty, and there are few slaves who die violently in the princely palace, but there is really no one who beats people to death so openly and exposes their bodies to mass graves. What's more, civil officials have learned about Li Xiuxiu's fake pregnancy through different channels. Li Mingfeng's father and daughter poisoned Cui Zhenyi first, touching the bottom line of the civil official group and endangering the personal safety of the civilian official group; and then fake pregnancy to tease the emperor. Teasing the world. The civil officials, who have always regarded the world as their duty, were immediately surprised and angry, and the case was arrested.

The fake pregnancy hurt the emperor's face and damaged the dragon's face, which was never mentioned, so he had to make a fuss about the poisoning.

For a time, Li Mingfeng was like a rat crossing the street, everyone shouted and beat him, and even the princes who were also nobles had to nominate the British Duke to condemn and draw a clear line with Li Mingfeng.

The people in the capital have always been well-informed, and soon someone threw rotten rotten eggs at the gate of the Dingxing Marquis Mansion.

The Dingxing Marquis Mansion closed its doors. The servants in the house didn't even dare to go out to buy vegetables and vegetables.

Li Xiuxiu cried to Emperor Zhi'an twice.

The Queen Mother hasn't woken up yet. Emperor An was drowned by the impeachment recital again, how could he be in the mood to appease Li Xiuxiu? If it weren't for the queen's constant comfort, and Zhou Heng was always by her side, plus Wang Zhe helped to approve the folds. He had already laid down.

The actions of the civil servants. Cui Keyin knows a little bit. In the past two days, Cui Zhenyi has always been smiling when he returns home, which shows that the battle is going well. It's just that I don't know when Emperor An will not be able to withstand it and strictly govern Li Mingfeng.

Cui Keyin put the finished incense into the small box of the black bottom eight treasures. Instructed Lu Ying to hand over the sign to the palace, and it was time to go and see the Queen Mother.

The palace soon spread the word that she was allowed to enter the palace.

The Empress met her at the Kunning Palace.

After seeing it, I went to see the Queen Mother before sitting down in the side hall.

Cui Keyin said: "Niangniang still has to take care of the phoenix body." ”

The queen looked a little thinner, but her spirit was vigorous, and she looked at Cui Keyin's eyes with a smile, and said: "The queen mother has never woken up, and the emperor is working state affairs, how can I only care about myself?" He looked at the box in Cui Keyin's hand again and said, "What did you bring?" ”

"The plate of incense made by the courtiers tastes fresh, and it is the best in winter." Cui Keyin said and handed the box to Aunt Fang.

Aunt Fang opened it and presented it to the queen.

"It's really fresh." The queen sniffed it and said, "I didn't expect you to do this." ”

Cui Keyin said: "The courtiers thought, the weather is cold, most of the time the windows are not opened for ventilation, and there is inevitably some peculiar smell in the room. ”

"Or are you thoughtful." The queen said, Aunt Fang: "This one smells much better than the original one, put a little in the cloisonne three-legged elephant trunk incense burner in the queen mother's bedroom first." ”

Aunt Fang responded and went to handle it herself.

Cui Keyin took the four slightly smaller boxes from Lu Ying's hands and said, "This is for Concubine Shu, Concubine Xian, Concubine De, and Concubine Chen." I don't know if the four mothers are willing to accept it. ”

The queen instructed the palace people to send it.

There was only a palm-sized box left in Lu Ying's hand, Cui Keyin took it and said, "Concubine Kang has a miscarriage, I don't think I can use these anymore." I heard that Liu Xuanzhi served the sick day and night, and it was very hard, so the courtiers did a little more and wanted to give it to Liu Xuanzhi. ”

Queen Xuan Wang Zhongfang asked Li Xiuxiu's pulse, Wang Zhongfang flickered, and finally kowtowed: "The minister really doesn't dare to speak, ask the queen to spare the minister." ”

The queen looked at her face and concluded that what Cui Keyin said was the truth. She had a question in her heart, how did Cui Keyin learn about this confidential matter? Was it really guessed from Wang Zhongfang fainting?

Liu Xuanzhi wanted to take advantage of Li Xiuxiu's "miscarriage" and couldn't accompany the emperor to drive when he was in a position, so he dressed up every day, and pretended to be sick when Emperor An visited Li Xiuxiu, and dangled in front of Emperor An. For this reason, there are often quarrels with Lee so-so.

What Cui Keyin's move meant, the queen naturally knew in her heart, and she ordered: "Send it to Liu Xuanzhi." ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, talking about the Queen Mother's condition.

Soon, the palace people reported that Concubine De came.

Before Shen Mingzhu entered the door, the voice arrived first, "You came, and you didn't go to see me." Then he saluted the queen: "See the queen's mother." ”

The queen said: "No courtesy." ”

Cui Keyin saluted her and said, "The mother needs to serve the sick, it's really hard, how dare the courtiers disturb?" ”

The queen said for Cui Keyin: "She is going to the palace to visit the queen mother." ”

Shen Mingzhu was relieved, took Cui Keyin's hand, and said, "I was frightened that day, right?" I wanted to comfort you, but it was ......"

The real situation is that she was frightened at the time, her brain became mush, and when she learned that Emperor Zhi'an was in a situation, she couldn't stop her tears, how could she have the time and energy to comfort others?

Cui Keyin thanked her: "Thanks to Niangniang for thinking of me." ”

Shen Mingzhu complained to the queen: "She is stupid, and she will be bullied if she is not careful." ”

The queen just smiled and said, "You haven't seen you for a few days, you must have a lot to say, the queen mother should also take medicine, this palace will go over and take a look." ”

Cui Keyin sent the queen off.

Shen Mingzhu said with a big grin: "The queen mother is really a good person. ”

Avoid them and let them talk.

Cui Keyin said: "The incense I gave you has a calming effect, and when you are with the emperor, you might as well light a stove." ”

Emperor An was anxious at this time, anxious all the time, what he needed most was to relax his mind, if he could sleep well in Yongle Palace, he would definitely run to Yongle Palace more.

Shen Mingzhu was overjoyed and thanked him repeatedly.

The two talked for a while, and the palace said, "Liu Xuan came over to thank Miss Cui." ”

In fact, Liu Xuanzhi had already gone to the queen mother's bedroom to thank the queen.

She is indeed good-looking, even better than Cui Keyin, and her demeanor is delicate and weak, which makes people feel pity. It's a pity that he was born low, and he entered the palace as a palace person, and was promoted to the selection of servants only after Emperor An's death. (To be continued......)
