Chapter 41: Poisoning

With a bang, the tea bowl in the queen mother's hand fell to the ground, and she slumped on the chair, unable to calm down for a long time. Mama Qin hurriedly stepped forward and said with concern: "Queen Mother, the imperial doctor said that your illness has become much more serious recently, don't be so sad, you have to take care of your body." ”

"Auntie, my brother died so miserably, aunt, you must seek justice for your brother."

Wang Shuyue fell to her knees with a pop, her crying red eyes, looking at the Queen Mother dead, Wang Bo died, died in the hands of King Xihua Lin'an, if she had known that this was the result, she would have killed her father Wang An, and she would not have sent Wang Bo to the battlefield. She won't, without Wang Bo taking care of her in the previous dynasty, how should she go down the road to the harem.

"Your Majesty, I will avenge your brother, Your Majesty has long wanted to fight this battle." The Queen Mother said faintly.

"Aunt, you can never take revenge on the battlefield, if you win, as long as Xihua retreats, Your Majesty will not bloody Xihua and avenge your brother. There is a Western Chinese in my aunt's palace, she is the sister of King Lin'an, and killing her can also avenge her brother. ”

Wang Shuyue's eyes leaked a vicious gaze, Wang Bo is gone, he can't be so meaninglessly gone, his death must be valuable.

"Since ancient times, the sword has no eyes on the battlefield, your brother has no ability, and if you want to take revenge, you have to be ashamed on the battlefield, what are you angry with in the harem."

The Queen Mother got up angrily, her trembling body, I don't know if it was because of a long illness, or because she heard Wang Shuyue's vicious thoughts, Mama Qin tightly supported the Queen Mother's body, afraid that she would faint to the ground if she didn't pay attention.

"Aunt, my brother is gone, and the Wang family has no future and hope. But Feng Yingying, she is now promoted to concubine, how can you make me not angry. Wang Shuyue said viciously.

"Do you know what you're talking about? Do you dare to fight the idea of harem women, do you think your life is too long, or do you think that you can do whatever you want if you have a mourning family? ”

"Queen Mother, if you were me, would you tell me what to do? You are old, once your hands and feet were stained with the blood of harem women, you can come to this place, sitting in this position, I am just in your old way. Wang Shuyue said coldly.

"Presumptuous."

The Queen Mother stumbled, dizzy and almost fainted, Mama Qin hurriedly helped her to sit down, the Queen Mother who had just sat down had a mouthful of stuffy phlegm gushing into her throat, she coughed hard, bright red blood spurted out, her collar was soaked in blood, and the front of her body was red, which was particularly eye-catching.

"Someone, come quickly, call the imperial doctor," Mama Qin shouted in panic, and the palace people of Yixiang Palace were suddenly in a mess. Wang Shuyue stood up from the ground calmly, she wiped away the tears on her face, calmly walked past the flustered palace people, with an indifferent look, walked out of Yixiang Palace, and Wang Shuyue, who had just returned to the dormitory, called the palace people around her.

"Go tell her she can do it."

The palace people immediately left the Haunting Hua Palace, and Wang Shuyue's face leaked a vicious smile again.

"Lady Niangniang, are you angry?"

Aunt An immediately fell to her knees, and Feng Yingying became restless. Aunt An was secretly distressed, she was unlucky, she was arranged by Ling Xi to Xiyan Palace, and she taught the rules to such a willful mother every day, Feng Yingying didn't give her a good face on weekdays, and scolded her at every turn, but she was also the aunt in charge of Jiaofang Palace, Feng Yingying's temper came, how could she give her face, but she dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, who called Feng Yingying Xiang Hongxuan's favorite concubine.

Aunt An thought of her comfortable days in the Jiaofang Palace, when would her teaching work be completed? Today, Feng Yingying heard that Xiang Hongxuan was going to war with Xihua, and went to invite Xiang Hongxuan to come to Xiyan Palace several times, but Xiang Hongxuan didn't come, so she lost her temper in Xiyan Palace, and their group of palace people were guilty again.

"You minions, it's really useless, you can't even invite Your Majesty."

With a bang, a fine green jade bottle was thrown to the ground by Feng Yingying and shattered.

"Lady Niangniang, please calm your anger." Xiuzhu slowly walked into the inner hall of Xiyan Palace, and she knelt down respectfully in front of Feng Yingying, still holding a food box in her hand.

"Who are you?"

Feng Yingying looked at the palace maid in front of her, she had a bit of a look, but she was not a person in her palace.

"Niangniang, the slave maid is the palace person of Jiaofang Palace, and she is ordered by the queen to send pastries to the concubine."

"Queen Xie, let it go." Feng Yingying said a little perfunctorily.

Feng Yingying has no heart to eat pastries now, she can't stop Dongyu from going to war with Xihua if she can't see Xiang Hongxuan, once the war starts, her young and vigorous brother Feng Xiaotian will have to go to the battlefield, this matter was provoked by her younger brother of the King of Lin'an, she is such a younger brother, she can't watch him go to the battlefield to die.

"Concubine Niangniang, this pastry is specially made by the queen mother for the palace people, it is beneficial to the fetus in your womb, the queen mother said, as long as the lady concubine eats well and raises the fetus with peace of mind, Your Majesty, the queen mother will definitely say a few more good words for the lady concubine, maybe your majesty will come to Xiyan Palace tonight." As she spoke, Xiuzhu took the pastry out of the food box and respectfully brought it to Feng Yingying's eyes.

"Seriously."

"The queen mother said that as long as the concubine eats normally and raises the fetus well, she will definitely persuade Your Majesty."

The ecstatic Feng Yiying immediately picked up the pastry in Xiuzhu's hand and took a bite.

"Aunt An, quickly take the pastries from the queen's mother, you go back and return to the queen's mother, this palace must take care of the baby, thank you the queen."

Aunt An walked up to Xiuzhu, she took the pastry in Xiuzhu's hand, she couldn't help but wonder, if Ling Xi really gave the pastry, why didn't she let her bring it? also asked Xiuzhu to make a special trip, which is not like Ling Xi's style. And after Xiuzhu said goodbye to Feng Yingying, she quickly left Xiyan Palace, as if she was unwilling to stay in Xiyan Palace for a moment, Aunt An was even more confused, and Xiuzhu was also a little strange today, as if she had become a person that Aunt An didn't know.

Aunt An glanced at Feng Yingying again, she had finished eating the pastry just now, and she just wanted to take another piece from Aunt An. Aunt Ann knelt down in front of her.

"Concubine Niangniang, this pastry is a little cold, you can't be greedy, the slave maid will let people give it hot, and I will send it to you later." Aunt An said cautiously.

"Okay, by the way, you hurry up and prepare, Your Majesty will come soon, and everything Your Majesty likes is ready." Feng Yingying happily walked towards the inner room, as if the displeasure just now had disappeared at once.

"I'll go back to the Jiaofang Palace, and you will be waiting carefully here." Aunt An whispered.

Aunt An walked quickly into the inner hall of the Jiaofang Palace, and Ginkgo was coming out of the inner room.

"Aunt An, why are you here? Shouldn't you be serving Concubine Shuniang in Xiyan Palace at this time? Ginkgo asked puzzled.

"Ginkgo biloba, where's the queen?"

"The queen didn't rest well last night, and at noon today, the queen didn't have much appetite, so she ate a few bites, she looked very unrefreshed, and just fell asleep."

As soon as Aunt An heard Ginkgo say this, she began to pace in the inner hall, Xiuzhu came to Xiyan Palace to deliver pastries is indeed a little abnormal, but it is not impossible, she ran back to ask Ling Xi like this, if it is really the pastries that Ling Xi sent Xiuzhu to send, then isn't she a villain to spend the belly of a gentleman? And it will also displease Ling Xi. What's wrong with her, she has been in the harem for a long time, and when she sees that the palace concubine is pregnant, she can think of Pianpin.

"Aunt An, did you go back to Jiaofang Hall to find the queen's mother?" Ginkgo watched Aunt An swaying back and forth in the inner hall and couldn't help but ask.

"It's nothing, it's just that I saw the queen's face bad last night, I don't worry, come back to see the mother." Aunt Ann made an excuse and perfunctory ginkgo.

"Aunt An has a heart, the queen is fine, you should hurry back to Xiyan Palace." Ginkgo whispered.

Aunt Ann was just about to turn around and leave, and she looked back at the inner sanctum.

"Why didn't you see Xiuzhu? She should be on duty today. ”

"I don't know, I didn't see her early in the morning."

"Didn't she serve by her mother's side in the morning? How could it be that no one could be found? ”

"In the morning, I heard Qin'er say that I saw her make some pastries in the small kitchen, and then she went out of the Jiaofang Palace, and she hasn't come back until now."

"It's broken,"

Aunt An's heart chuckled, it wasn't that she thought too much, it was really abnormal for Xiuzhu to appear in Xiyan Palace.

"What's wrong?"

"At noon, Xiuzhu went to Xiyan Palace, and gave a box of pastries to Concubine Shu, saying that it was rewarded by the queen."

"How is it possible, I have been with the queen all morning, and the mother has never seen Xiuzhu at all, let alone rewarded pastries."

Suddenly, Xin'er hurriedly walked into the inner hall, looking a little flustered.

"The queen is taking a lunch break, so frizzy, and you collided with the mother, can you afford it?" Ginkgo whispered.

"Ginkgo girl, something has happened to Xiyan Palace." Xin'er said in horror.

"What's going on?" Ling Xi walked out of the inner room, she didn't fall asleep at all at noon, thinking of Ye Muzhi, her heart hurt non-stop, tossing and turning, and it was difficult to sleep.

"Queen Niangniang, Concubine Shu's abdomen pain did not stop in the afternoon, the imperial doctor and His Majesty went to Xiyan Palace, and I heard that Concubine Shuniang was poisoned." Xin'er said cautiously.

"Poisoning, how is it possible?" Ling Xi asked.

"I heard that Concubine Shu's mother ate the pastries sent by Sister Xiuzhu today, and she had abdominal pain, and Sister Xiuzhu said that she was ordered by the queen to deliver the pastries." Xin'er's voice became smaller and smaller, but Ling Xi could hear every word clearly.

"Xiuzhu, where is Xiuzhu?" Ling Xi asked loudly.

"Sister Xiuzhu was just taken away by the internal guards, saying that she was brought to the internal guard mansion." Xin'er whispered.

"The Interior Guard?" Ling Xi frowned, she hadn't heard of such a place in the harem.

"Empress Niang, the Inner Guard Mansion is Your Majesty's imperial institution, and it is a ubiquitous spy in Yicheng, including the Imperial Palace. The Inner Guard Mansion is in the Outer Imperial City, but whoever enters the Inner Guard Mansion will not come out alive. Aunt An whispered.

Ling Xi suddenly slumped in her chair, her mind went blank, and the disaster had quietly befallen her.
