Volume 2: Where to Ask for Love Chapter 45: A Dilemma

Three days later, the flower feast.

The flower banquet was prepared by Concubine Wen, and the banquet was unprecedentedly meticulous. The branches of the Imperial Garden are covered with red flowers, and iron horses painted with various flowers hang in the pavilion, swaying gently in the breeze. The most amazing thing is the "Twelve Flower Gods" in the garden, which is dressed up by twelve palace people as the god of flowers, each dressed in a kind of embroidered clothes of the god of flowers, holding a basket, and the flowers of the directors of each department are placed in the basket. Standing on the big drum in the imperial garden, it is like a fairy descending to the earth.

They sometimes danced and sometimes stood, their clothes fluttering, and the petals brushed their sleeves, which looked particularly beautiful among the flowers. Everyone talked and discussed during the banquet, which was very lively.

"Concubine Wen's move is really impressive." Concubine Hui whispered to Concubine Rong.

Concubine Rong smiled while toasting to Concubine Hui: "I thought she would only be arrogant, but I didn't expect to have a little thought." Now she is deeply favored by His Majesty. It's the imperial concubine, it's not too late. ”

With her gaze, Xuan Ye talked very happily with Concubine Wen on one side, and rarely talked to Qing Yu, while Qing Yu on the other side was quite calm and not angry, just watching the twelve flower gods dancing in the courtyard.

Since the dispute that day, the Queen Mother called Xuan Ye away, the implication is nothing more than Qing Yu's negligence and words, Xuan Ye didn't like Yaertan, listening to what she said, she only felt that it was her own fault, Ben's calm mood was ignited again, and she didn't care about her face, so she only continued to wronged Qing Yu.

At first, Qing Yu had expectations for him in her heart, thinking that it was just a trivial matter, and after a long time, she realized that she might have been wrong from the beginning, because Xuan Ye treated her differently, making her gradually forget that he was the Ninety-Five. It is the king who kills decisively, is young and pro-government, except for Aobai, and equalizes the three feudal domains. The imperial power has never been allowed to be ignored, today as a minister, tomorrow as a prisoner. Even if she is an imperial concubine, she can't.

It's ridiculous that she hasn't seen through it, behind this seemingly calm and calm, but there are cracks, and after each one is opened, there are abscesses bursting out, and as time goes by, it grows bigger and bigger, and after it ruptures, it leaves deep traces.

"In a few months, Xiangqi will also turn one year old."

Concubine Wen was slightly stunned, as if she was shocked by Xuan Ye's sudden words: "The concubine wanted to talk to Your Majesty, but Your Majesty mentioned it first." Then he said, "The day of Xiangqi's birthday is also the birthday of the seventh elder brother. ”

Xuan Ye nodded and glanced at Cheng Guiren as if he didn't have an opinion, ate the porridge in front of him, and seemed to think of something and said to Concubine Wen: "When the time comes, let's do it in Chonghua Palace." ”

Concubine Wen smiled in response. Qing Shi deliberately stood up and toasted her: "The concubine is here to wish the princess her first birthday, and she will be happy and peaceful." ”

Concubine Wen responded with a smug smile, but when she raised the lamp, Qing Shi suddenly held her forehead and stumbled down in the banquet, and everyone was frightened. Xuan Ye immediately ordered the Imperial Doctor to come.

After Song Yanzhi's diagnosis and treatment, Qing Shi slowly woke up, and Song Yanyi instantly looked at Qing Shi's eyes, and then turned to Xuan Ye and said, "Rui Concubine Niangniang, this is a sign of poisoning." ”

Xuan Ye was quite surprised: "Poisoning, what poison?" ”

Song Yanzhi pretended to ponder: "Niangniang seems to have been infected with poppy poison symptoms. ”

"Isn't the poppy medicine, how can it be poisoned?" Concubine Wen said in a low voice.

"Medicine can cure people, but it can also harm people. Li Shizhen met a woman on the road and suffered from abdominal pain and almost died. So he mixed a small amount of arsenic with dates and revived the woman. There was also a woman who died because of the wrong amount of cinnamon branches. Song Yanzhi sighed and said, "If the medication is appropriate, there will naturally be no problem, this is obviously too much dosage, causing the mother to faint and be poisoned." ”

"Qing Shi is Kangning, how can you use poppies?" Qing Yu was a little anxious.

Everyone was also puzzled, Song Yanzhi was about to speak, Concubine Rong seemed to have found something, turned around and saw the fragrance in the incense burner, and said suspiciously: "This incense smells a little strange." ”

Xuan Ye motioned to the chamberlain to extinguish the incense in the incense burner, and then took out the incense ash with silk and handed it to Song Yanzhi, Song Yanzhi sniffed it with a false meaning, frowned and said: "I don't know who is so ruthless, mixing poppies in agarwood incense, if you find it a few days later, I'm afraid ......"

Xuan Ye has never liked harem battles, his face gradually became gloomy, and Song Yanzhi continued when he saw this: "There seems to be a medicine in this incense, it seems to be... When the door ......"

When the three words of Menzi poked directly into Xuan Ye's heart, he was the most unaccustomed to this kind of dirty method, Qing Yu's heart was confused, no wonder Qing Shi had no children, thinking about it, her eyes couldn't help but redden, she grabbed Qing Shi's hand and said, "It's all my negligence." ”

Qing Shi shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Concubine Wen rolled her eyes and said: "I think this thing must have been done by someone close to me, as long as all the people in the Rui Concubine Palace are arrested and put into the Shen Criminal Division to be beaten, the murderer behind the scenes will definitely be found." After that, he looked at Yuxun and said sharply, "I heard in this palace that there is a punishment called pear blossom with rain in the Shen Criminal Division, which is to drag the nails of the ten fingers of the person alive, and then print the pear blossom brand on the nail meat, and the tortured person is crying, looking like pear blossom with rain, which is very good-looking." ”

The palace people were frightened, for fear of wading through this troubled water and suffering this punishment in vain. The palace people on one side first looked at Concubine Wen, then at Xuan Ye, gritted their teeth and stood up and said, "Minion... Slaves have one thing to do. Seeing that Xuan Ye's face was the same, she spoke, "The slave passed by Aunt Yuxun's room one day and saw that she was adding something to the agarwood incense. ”

Qingyu asked, "Then why didn't you say it before?" ”

"Aunt Yuxun took great care of us in the past, and she was also very loyal to her mother, if it weren't for today's accident, the slave would never have thought of this."

I thought that Yu Xun would argue two sentences, but before Xuan Ye could speak, she knelt down first, and then said in an unusually calm tone: "It was the slave who did it." ”

Concubine Wen asked again: "Then the palace asked you, who instructed you?" ”

Yu Xun inadvertently looked at Wei Xun, and Wei Xun's heart fluttered.

"Everything the slave did was instigated by the Wei nobles, and the Wei nobles and the Rui concubine had been at odds for a long time, so she bought the slaves and let the slaves go down into the incense. There are still many people in Hexin Garden, and the mother can go to search for them. ”

Wei Heng looked at Yu Xun in astonishment, sat down on the ground in fright, and cried to Xuan Ye: "It's not the concubine, it's not the concubine who did it, the concubine didn't instigate her." ”

Xuan Ye Ling looked at Wei Zhen, Wei Zhen saw doubt in her eyes, and her heart was like frost.

"The concubine feels that this matter is like someone framing Wei Guiren, Wei Guiren has always been timid, how dare you do this?" Qing Yu said so, and then turned his head to Yu Xun and said, "You say, who instructed you to say this?" ”

"The slave is indeed instructed by the nobles of Wei, and if the mother doesn't believe it, she can search for it."

Although Qing Shi had doubts, he didn't say much for the time being because he didn't deal with Wei Yu. When Wei Zhu took the search back from Hexin Garden, Xuan Ye's suspicions turned into disappointment, and the human and material evidence was there, and Wei Yu was speechless.

"Your Majesty, this must be someone who framed Wei Guiren, please Your Majesty investigate thoroughly."

"Your Majesty......" Xuan Ye listened to Qing Yu speak, turned around and said angrily, "The evidence is conclusive, can I still slander her?" ”

Concubine Wen didn't like Wei Yu either, although she didn't know who did it, but she couldn't help but be overjoyed to be able to get rid of Wei Yu this time, and raised her head and said to Qing Yu: "Yes, sister, the evidence is conclusive, why should you bother." Sister has forgotten that it was Rui Concubine who was killed, do you feel sorry for your sister or Wei Guiren? ”

Qing Yu looked back at Qing Shi on the couch, Qing Shi's eyes were full of disappointment, and he turned his face away and stopped looking at her.

At that moment, she was at a loss and stunned.

"Spread my will, Wei Guiren deliberately framed Rui Concubine, and from now on, he will enter the cold palace." Xuan Ye turned around and looked at Qing Yu, "The imperial concubine has been unwell recently and may not be able to raise the fourth elder brother, so she will be taken care of by Concubine De for the time being." ”

After Xuan Ye left, Concubine Wen Guifei severely punished Meng Yuxun and the palace people, and whispered in a low voice past Qing Yu's side: "Sister be careful." ”

Nian Jin inadvertently saw Yu Xun being taken down and passed by the door, her eyes were slight, she raised her eyes and looked, it was Concubine Yi who was standing at the door.
