It was overcast for most of the day, and finally a light snow fell at nightfall.

Snowflakes fluttered in the air with a drizzle, and the north wind whistled and made the palace gate creak. In an instant, the sky and the earth were covered with heavy snow, and only a white expanse remained.

The palace lights were turned on for the first time, and a person in official uniform knelt outside the palace gate, and the shadow was stretched very long. He was covered in falling snow and shivered with cold. With the cold air on his head, he shouted desperately while kowtowing: "The slave knows that he is wrong, please punish His Majesty." But please Your Majesty, for the sake of the slaves' parents in their old age, let them live, and the slaves are willing to suffer for them! ”

He repeated it over and over again, and in this huge court, it seemed lonely and small.

The guards on patrol at night silently passed by him, stepping deep and shallow in the snow, making a creaking sound. Roncodo looked back and saw that he was almost fainting.

Long Keduo saw that he was physically exhausted from the cold, and he couldn't bear it, so he told Xuan Ye about it.

In the Chengqian Palace, Qing Yu rubbed Xuan Ye's head, and recently Xuan Ye was anxious about choosing a teacher for the prince, and he had gray hair in his temples when he was only a young man.

The day before yesterday, Xuan Ye went to Yingtai with the prince and several elder brothers to shoot arrows, during which he asked the prince to allow Xu Yuanmeng to shoot arrows, Xu Yuanmeng didn't even pull the bow, Xuan Ye reprimanded him a few words, but he made a remark, Xuan Ye was angry, beat him a hundred zhang and didn't say anything, and let people raid his house, and his parents exiled Ningguta before stopping.

When Liang Jiugong came to tell Xu Yuanmeng that he knelt at the gate of the palace to plead for mercy, Xuan Ye didn't hear it and closed his eyes and didn't say anything.

"This Xu Yuanmeng is too, and he came here in the middle of the night." Qing Yu said softly to Xuan Ye.

Qing Yu saw that Xuan Ye didn't speak, and then said: "Xu Yuanmeng is indeed at fault in this matter, and he shouldn't contradict His Majesty." Although he is a Manchurian, he has been lecturing and researching ancient books all these years, and his strength is naturally smaller, so it is really difficult for him to hold a bow and shoot arrows. ”

"You mean I let him shoot an arrow?" Xuan Ye opened his eyes and looked at Qing Yu with some anger.

"The concubine doesn't mean this, the concubine just thinks that His Majesty thinks highly of him." Qing Yu felt aggrieved and hurriedly defended.

"What I can't get used to is being a flag man, but I can't ride and shoot. They have forgotten that their ancestors conquered the world on horseback! ”

Qing Yu's eyes were already red, and when he yelled, tears suddenly welled up from the corners of his eyes.

Xuan Ye restrained his anger, softened his tone and said, "Okay, what is this for?" I said him, but I didn't talk about you. After that, he wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes for her, and listened to Qingyu's narration in the next moment.

"The concubine should not say much in the inner court, but it is really difficult to feel at ease, Xu Yuanmeng, as the teacher of the prince, teaches etiquette and rules, and respects the teacher. He is not good at riding and shooting words to contradict His Majesty and punish him alone, why his parents, who are over the age of age, are exiled to Ningguta, the punishment is really too heavy. ”

Xuan Ye Ling looked at Qing Yu, and when she mentioned the words "respecting the teacher", her face changed suddenly, and she threw the tea bowl in her hand on the ground and smashed it to pieces.

"You know you shouldn't have said too much, and you shouldn't have said it too much. Passing on my will, the imperial concubine is unwell, and the power to manage the six palaces is temporarily handed over to Wen Guifei! ”

With that, Xuan Ye brushed his sleeves and left.

The snow outside the house was still very heavy, and Qingyu leaned against the window, and in a moment it was stained with snow foam.

The two have never had a dispute for so many years. But since Xuan Ye repeatedly punished the prince's teacher and blamed others for the prince's crimes, Qing Yu has been quite complaining. often quarreled with Xuan Yeyan on how to teach the prince. This time, the two finally broke out the resentment that had been accumulated in their hearts for a long time.

Qingyu expected such a day, but she didn't want to come so quickly.

In the early morning of the next day, in the early hours of heavy snow, he rushed over from Chuxiu Palace before Wei Heng.

"Sister, what the hell is going on, you have always been cautious, how can you anger Your Majesty?"

Qing Yu sighed and said sadly: "Zuo, but I said a few words for Prince Zhongyun, and it angered him. ”

Qingyu knows it when she is young, and if she doesn't meet something that she is not used to, she will never say much. Qing Shi saw that her face was much haggard, and her heart was suddenly full of indignation, and she got up and wanted to face outward: "I'll go to Your Majesty to reason." ”

Qing Yu immediately asked Yixin to stop her, and when she saw that she was still leaving, she couldn't help but shout: "Ah Ning! ”

Qing Shi stopped, glanced back at her, and his voice was a little softer: "Sister, I'm just sorry for you." I just can't see anyone bullying you, even if he's Your Majesty. ”

Qing Yu smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "What if you go, can you still ask the Heavenly Family?" When he saw Qing, his face softened slightly, and then he spoke, "It's just one more person who has been punished." ”

Qing Shi didn't know what to say, Qing Yu said seriously: "How many people have stared at me along the way, there has never been a trace of wrong, and now that I have been removed from the right of the six palaces, I have fulfilled their wishes." It's just Yinzhen ......"

"What about wishing, after all, my sister is the first in the six palaces." Qing Shi said angrily.

At this time, Wei Heng came in with the freshly cooked ginseng lotus porridge, and after Qing Shi owed, Fang said to Qing Yu: "Father-in-law Liang of His Majesty's side sent an inner servant to pass it on, and His Majesty has pardoned Xu Yuanmeng's family this morning. He said that last night was just a moment of anger for His Majesty, and Niangniang didn't need to be angry, and she would presumably restore Niangniang's right to govern the six palaces in a few days. ”

Seeing that Qingyu's complexion changed slightly, Wei Heng presented the porridge to her.

"This is the ginseng lotus porridge that the concubine asked for from Doctor Song, which is made with the party's participation in lotus seeds, and it can nourish the stomach the most, Niangniang taste it."

Wei Heng presented another bowl and handed it to Qing Shi, but Qing Shi didn't plan to take it, Wei Heng covered his embarrassment with a smile, put the porridge on the table and said: "This bowl of porridge is too hot, Concubine Rui can eat it later." ”

Qing Yu glanced at Qing Shi and said to her, "Your palace has been very lively recently. ”

One gave birth to a prince, one was pregnant, and the other was grounded, isn't it lively? But none of this has anything to do with her after all.

Qing Shi bowed his head and said nothing, Qing Yu stared at her and said slowly: "You have been in the palace for four years, but there is no movement in this stomach at all." Find a doctor to take a look at you one day, and you can follow the prescription. ”

Qing Shi responded with his head, and Wei Heng said on the side: "The concubine body thinks that the Song Court has judged this person well, and the concubine's body has been conditioned by him, and Concubine Rui can rest assured." ”

"Song Yanzhi's medical skills are really good, look at it carefully, the queen mother's head wind was cured by him, and he was promoted to the judge of the Sixth Grade Academy at a young age, and his future is immeasurable." After that, he looked at Qing Shi again, "It's just that the estrangement between you and him can be eliminated?" ”

Qing Shi said with a smile: "Earlier, when he asked him to diagnose Concubine An's pulse in Yikun Palace, he told me that it is not easy for the prodigal son to turn back, if I still cling to the old things, wouldn't it be too narrow-minded?" ”

After bidding farewell to Qingyu in the Qing Dynasty, the snow fell silently on the way back to the palace, and after pondering for a long time, she whispered to the side of Nianjin: "When will you go to the Tai Hospital to ask, when will the Song Hospital be empty, and invite him to come to Chuxiu Palace." ”

"Yes."

"Niangniang's pulse is stable and her body is fine."

Song Yanzhi took off the thin silk covering Qing Shi's wrist and said in a flat voice.

Qing Shi frowned and didn't say a word, until Yu Xun, who had added incense in front of the case, left and gently closed the door, Qing Shi asked Song Yanzhi in a low voice: "This palace has been in the palace for four years, and I have received a lot of favors, why have I not been pregnant so far?" ”

"It stands to reason that the mother's body is healthy, how can she be pregnant?"

In the clear time, the eyes reflected the blue and white entwined porcelain cup full of tea, and he was silent for a long time. She couldn't help but ponder, she had never been so eager to have an heir as she was now. What was once reluctance has now become a joke.

"Niangniang's incense smells strong, like agarwood incense?" Seeing Qingshi, he nodded and explained suspiciously, "Wei Chen has smelled it a few times in the Wei Guiren Palace, why are you so rich here?" ”

Listening to his words in the Qing Dynasty, the old news of the palace seems to haunt the heart, a concubine of the previous dynasty has been infertile for many years, and after her death, the newcomer moved in to renovate the palace, only to find the musk sachet buried for many years from the bed in the palace. Qing Shi's eyes are deep.

Song Yanzhi took a fine look at the moire pattern on the gilded incense burner in front of him, took a brocade handkerchief and gently opened the incense burner lid in his hand, blew out the incense in the furnace, and immediately wrapped the remaining agarwood incense with a silk handkerchief.

He first sniffed it, then took some more and looked at it in his hand. After a while, he shook his head and said: "This agarwood incense is mixed with dangmenzi, although the amount is very small, but long-term use is enough to cause infertility." ”

Qing Shi only felt that there was a fire in his heart, and he wanted to throw out the blue and white tangled branch teacup, but Song Yanzhi stopped her: "Niangniang is slow, she can be drugged in the palace without being detected, she is naturally a close person, and now you and I know that there is a problem with this incense, and the top priority is to find out the person behind it. ”

When Qing Shi heard his words, he immediately stabilized his mind, and he smiled: "You are right." Fang is the main palace is impatient. ”

His thoughts turned, and he suddenly thought of a person, Meng Yuxun. Every day the agarwood incense needs to pass through her hands, if she mixes into it, who knows?

Thinking back to the four years since she first entered the court, she has never really understood Yuxun, even if she usually talks very little.

Song Yanzhi fell into deep thought when he saw Qing Shi, and asked, "I want to come to Niangniang to know who it is." ”

Qing Shi nodded and said: "Today's matter, you only do it as an ordinary person to ask for peace, and you must not say anything about it." The palace has its own plans, and it will be indispensable for the help of Imperial Doctor Song. ”

Song Yanzhi laughed when he heard this, got up and saluted: "Song Yanzhi is just by his mother's orders." ”

After seeing him leave, he called Nian Jin to come and clean up, and Nian Jin didn't say anything when she asked her, but asked quietly: "What do you think of this person Yu Xun?" ”

"Aunt Yuxun is calm, does things properly, and treats us very well, and she chose for me to celebrate the birthday of the concubine Niangniang."

Qing Shi had uneasy thoughts in his heart for a moment, but nearly a year had passed since he thought about it, and Yongshou Palace was nothing different, maybe he was just overthinking.

But in this matter, she must find out who is behind it.
