198. Chapter 196
Fengxiang Palace, Qin Yuan and all the noble concubines above the rank, all sit in the front hall with a good posture, because the queen is now terminally ill, the wind and candle in the last season, the queen summoned the palace concubines and princesses to do a ceremony to ask for peace, perhaps to take a look at the most rear.
Now that the concubines have finished asking for peace, the prince and the princess are now in the palace to meet the queen, Qin Yuan is wearing a brocade robe with golden roses and gold silk today, with a golden hairpin on her head that has been flying for nine days, the palace makeup on her face is decent and generous, and the pearl-like skin looks even more smooth and smooth under the soft light of the palace lamp.
Golden yellow is the color that the harem is allowed to enjoy in addition to the queen, which all shows Qin Yuan's current status, attracting all the concubines sitting in the front hall to look at it, and the two nobles who have newly entered the palace whispered in their ears.
"It's Concubine Hui who sits at the front, right?"
"Of course, in addition to the queen in the palace now, isn't it Concubine Hui who is at the head of the throne."
"Bengui hasn't seen Hui Guifei yet, and she looks really outstanding, no wonder the emperor loves it so much, it is indeed similar to the Hunan nobles."
I saw this noble man despise the Hunan nobleman on the side, "I thought that the Hunan nobleman must have some ability to hook the emperor's heart, but it seems that he just gave birth to a face that is very similar to Concubine Hui." ”
"You be quiet, the Hunan nobles are sitting not far from us, don't let her listen."
"What about that? Now she's just a noble person like us, and I'm afraid she won't make it. ”
"Hey, now the Hunan nobles are really out of favor."
"Hmph, she was born very similar to Concubine Hui, how can Concubine Hui tolerate her, it's strange if she doesn't fall out of favor."
At this moment, Qin Yuan slowly picked up the teacup on the side, took a sip, put down the teacup leisurely, and his eyes drifted to the Hunan nobleman sitting in the distance, and today's Hunan nobleman is much more low-key than before, and today he is only wearing an apricot satin skirt, the makeup is light and beautiful, the corners of Qin Yuan's lips are slightly raised, and he said slowly, "This palace was ill a few days ago, and I couldn't assist the sixth palace, I heard that Xi Chang had an accident over there, and now it has subsided, right?" ”
Concubine Lian smiled gently, "Concubine Hui, don't worry, the culprit has been punished by the emperor, and Xi Chang is fine." Qin Yuan nodded gently, "That's good." ”
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of all the concubines were looking at the Hunan nobles in the distance, and the Hunan nobles couldn't help but clench the silk handkerchief in their hands at the moment, gritting their teeth angrily, looking particularly restrained and embarrassed, Qin Yuan suddenly said solemnly, "As a harem concubine, you should put your mind on how to serve the emperor, and you must not have evil thoughts, otherwise, if you are known by the palace, you will be severely punished!" ”
The concubines hurriedly leaned down and responded, "Yes, I respectfully follow the teachings of Concubine Hui." However, except for Concubine Wan, I saw Wai Fei sitting upright on the wooden chair, and said with a cold face, "Now that the emperor is staying in Fengzhu Palace every day, what is the use of the concubines and others spending that thought?" ”
Qin Yuan was not annoyed, and said in a crisp voice, "Where is the emperor's stay, it is all holy will, how can this palace force it?" Didn't Concubine Wan also be the favored harem for a while, compared to now, this palace is really willing to bow down. Qin Yuan's words are modest on the surface, but the deeper meaning is that the era of Concubine Wan's favored harem has passed.
Concubine Wan's face turned a little cold for a while, and for a while, the corners of her mouth contained a little disdain, as if she was gloating, Qin Yuan couldn't help but feel nervous for a while, she knew very well the meaning of Concubine Wan's expression, and for a while she suspected that Concubine Wan was planning something.
At this moment, Dyed Frost walked over with an anxious face, walked quickly to Qin Yuan's side, leaned over and whispered a few words in Qin Yuan's ear, Qin Yuan was shocked after hearing this, and instantly turned her eyes to the side Concubine Wan, her anger was simply undisguised, Concubine Wan had a wicked smile on her lips, and she elegantly picked up the tea cup on the side and took a sip.
Qin Yuan had anger in her eyes, and walked anxiously to the queen's bedroom, as if something big had happened, so that all the concubines sitting in the front hall looked at it suspiciously, Concubine Wan slowly put down the teacup, her eyes drifted to the Hunan nobles in the distance, and the evil smile on the corner of her lips looked more solemn.
When Qin Yuan came to the dormitory, she saw that all the princes and princesses were no longer there, only Mu Xuan stood with her head bowed aggrievedly, and the queen was surrounded by all the imperial doctors, and from the gap, you could see the queen's painful face and the blood in front of the bed.
Qin Yuan couldn't help but feel nervous, and decisively stepped forward and asked anxiously, "What's wrong?" Qing Cang's brows tightened, and he said in a heavy tone, "Empress Fang Cai vomited blood after taking Xuan'er Jing's tea, and the imperial doctor said that the tea was poisonous. As soon as these words came out, Qin Yuan couldn't help but be surprised, and her eyes quickly turned to Mu Xuan, only to see Mu Xuan aggrieved with tears in the corners of her eyes at the moment, Qin Yuan hurriedly said anxiously, "Your Majesty, you must find out the murderer, otherwise I am afraid that Mu Xuan will be implicated." ”
Qing Cang slowly got up, raised his hand and held Qin Yuan's hand, "Don't worry, I will definitely find out the murderer." ”
"This person's purpose is too clear, that is, he wants to put me and Mu Xuan to death."
"Yuan'er, don't worry, I've already sent someone to investigate, and I won't let Mu Xuan have anything."
Suddenly, at this moment, I saw that the queen's whole body trembled, as if something was disgusting in her chest, and she reached out to help, but she finally couldn't hold back, a mouthful of blood spurted out, followed by the red blood on the white obscene clothes, and then I saw the queen gasping for breath with difficulty, and the imperial doctors all showed a look of panic, and they hurriedly grabbed the movements in their hands and began to treat the queen.
Qing Cang's expression was suddenly solemn, and he ordered Zhou Ruiqing to call the Queen Mother over, and let the concubines in the front hall return to the palace, Zhou Ruiqing hurriedly responded, and hurriedly trotted out, Qing Cang hurriedly stepped forward and walked to the queen's bed.
Qin Yuan turned around and hurriedly ordered Yuru to take Mu Xuan down, and then slowly stepped forward to the queen's couch to find out, only to see a imperial doctor shaking his head at the emperor in frustration, "Your Majesty, the queen is already weak, and she can't resist this poison at all, I'm afraid it's ......", the imperial doctor hesitated for a while, and didn't dare to say anything more.
Qin Yuan sighed lightly from time to time, looking at the queen's face at this time, the beads of sweat were next to her temples, Qing Cang picked up the towel and wiped the beads of sweat, the queen opened her eyes, and after a lot of effort, she called hoarsely: "Your Majesty." Qing Cang carefully helped the queen up, since the queen was sick and dying, her whole body was slightly swollen, and it was a little difficult to get up, Qin Yuan was in a very heavy mood at the moment, she knew that if she couldn't cross this pass, she would have no chance with this posterior.
