My eyebrows moved slightly, I thought deeply, and after thinking secretly for a while, I asked her softly: "Concubine Chu, this palace asks you, the elephant gall in the palace meal, but your handwriting?" ”

I squinted slightly, observing the change in her expression, but after she heard this, the smile on her face became thicker, and there was a tone of invitation in her words: "Yes, yes, yes, it is a concubine, dare to ask the crown princess, has your liver fire been much better in recent days?" ”

I slapped the table on my side hard, frowned slightly, and reprimanded: "Concubine Chu, you are so bold!" Do you know that the elephant has a cold gall and will hurt the son in the womb of the palace?! ”

When she heard me say this, she suddenly realized the seriousness of the matter.

The expression on her face suddenly panicked and confused, and with a "plop", she quickly knelt on the ground, lowered her head and explained to me: "This... I don't know this concubine's body, my concubine's body... The concubine just wants your illness to get better quickly, that's why she made this move, Crown Princess Mingjian, the concubine really doesn't have the intention of murdering the fetus in your womb......"

Hearing her admit this, I couldn't help but be a little angry, so I didn't bother to listen to her quibble, whether she wanted it or not, since this matter was done by her, then I couldn't tolerate it at will.

"Someone!" I reprimanded the guards at the door, and after they came in, I continued to instruct: "Concubine Chu deliberately murdered the son in the womb of this palace, and she will be confined to her own courtyard from now on, and after the prince returns, she will be released." ”

When Concubine Chu heard my words, her expression became more and more panicked, and she hurriedly knelt down towards me, she stretched out her hands, grabbed the corners of my skirt tightly, and her voice was panicked: "Too... Don't want the princess, the concubine is really an unintentional mistake... This, this ......"

I leaned down, reached out and grabbed her arm and threw it to the side, glared at her coldly, and then walked briskly out of the kitchen, ignoring her crying behind me.

In the afternoon, I was playing with Fuyun, Fu Yuying had just come back from the Dali Temple, and someone Xun told him about today's events, so he came back to see me first.

After I told him in detail about today's events, I asked him out loud: "So, what do you want to do with Concubine Chu?" ”

With that, I put Fuyun on the ground and instructed the people to take her out to play.

"It is a big crime to hurt the royal bloodline, but since it cannot be confirmed that she did it on purpose, and the child was not hurt too much, we have no reason to abolish her......" Fu Yuying said, suddenly lowered his eyes and pondered, and after a while, he said slowly: "Then punish her for one year and a year of grounding." ”

"Letting her go so easily?" I frowned slightly, and there was confusion in my voice.

Fu Yuying raised his eyes to look at me, and after a long time, he continued: "Yizhu, this is in the palace, not in Ning Xiao, you and I can't make decisions about many things, if you really kill the Chu family because of this, then the emperor will take advantage of the topic to play, and then the situation of you and me will be even more difficult." ”

I couldn't help but be silent, and although I was dissatisfied, I had to admit that he was telling the truth.

Moreover, I always have a vague feeling that this matter is not as simple as it seems.

In the evening, I lay down in bed and rested, and suddenly remembered the events of the day.

Concubine Chu's performance today really seemed to be like she didn't know that elephant gall would damage the fetus, but the happy look on her face when she came in really looked like she had come to receive the reward.

But if she asks the Tai Doctor, what can go to the liver fire, the Tai Doctor should also tell her that she can go to the liver fire, but to go to the liver fire, she has lived so much, she should not know that pregnant women can't eat cold food.

If the imperial physician only told her that elephant gall can go to the liver fire, and did not say anything else, why did he choose elephant gall bladder......

I'm afraid it's not that simple.

I sat up from the bed suddenly, Yulan had just lowered the curtain next to my bed at this time, and when she saw me behaving like this, she couldn't help but be startled, and asked in a low voice, "What is the crown princess going to do?" ”

I got out of bed and put on my shoes, and when Yulan saw this, she first went to find a cloak for me, and after draping it on my body, she asked again: "Where is the crown princess going?" ”

"Find Concubine Chu."

With that, I reached out and put the hat on my cloak on my head, and walked briskly out of the yard.

The guards at the door of Concubine Chu blocked me in front of me, and I really didn't bother to deal with them, so I stretched out my right hand and showed the wrench on my thumb.

I walked quickly towards Concubine Chu's palace, and when I saw that the lights in her room had not been extinguished, I broke in without knocking.

Concubine Chu was sitting in front of the dresser and removing the ornaments on her head, as if she heard the sound of opening the door, she quickly turned her head, and after seeing that it was me, she suddenly gasped, hurriedly put down the things in her hand, and ran towards me, the expression on her face became sad.

She knelt beside me and shouted again and again: "Princess, the concubine is really wronged, the concubine is really just an unintentional mistake, and the concubine is really not aware of its cold ......"

"Elephant gall can go to liver fire, who told you that?" I didn't bother to listen to her, so I interrupted her and asked straight questions.

She was stunned for a moment, as if she was reminiscing, and after a while, she continued to say to me with a bitter face: "It's Concubine Lin... It was Concubine Lin who told the concubine. ”

I narrowed my eyes slightly and asked in a deep voice, "She's still grounded, how did she tell you this?" ”

Concubine Chu's body leaned back slightly, knelt on the ground, and looked a little decadent, "You only understand when you ask the concubine, it's because the concubine is too stupid, and she actually fell for her plan." ”

She sighed slightly, her eyes also slipped to the ground, and she said to me in a depressed voice: "That morning, the concubine was about to go to greet you, and as soon as she stepped out of the courtyard, she saw Concubine Lin talking to the guards at the door, and she wanted to grab her, but she didn't think about it, but she heard that she was discussing with the guards how to get rid of your liver fire, saying that she wanted to please you and be released as soon as possible." ”

Hearing this, I couldn't help but sneer, this Lin Shanning is really powerful, and he can plot against me in the cold palace.

So the concubine went to ask her what could go to the liver fire, and she said that elephant gall can, so the concubine is ...... Crown princess, the concubine is really fascinated for a while, and she is anxious to ask for credit in front of you, so I will tell her, just do this concubine, and when your illness is better, I will also mention her benefits......"

After listening to her, I couldn't help but feel helpless and ridiculous, how did Concubine Chu's brain survive for so long in the East Palace, but she just listened to what others said, and implemented it without confirmation.

I watched her get up on her knees again, stretching out her hand to pull the corner of my skirt, and kept shouting the appearance of wrongdoing, which really felt angry and funny.

"The order of punishment is given by the prince, and the palace can't be changed, it just so happens that you have been grounded for a year, so you can precipitate and precipitate well, become smart, don't listen to the wind is the wind, and it hurts the palace and yourself."

With that, I ignored her cries and turned away.

On the way back, I couldn't help but think about it again.

I remember that at that time, my liver fire was heavy because the food in the small kitchen was too greasy and fishy, and I obviously sent Yulan to talk about it many times, but they still didn't change it, which eventually led to my liver fire being a little heavy.

I narrowed my eyes slightly, and my right hand, hidden in my sleeve, gradually clenched into a fist.

The next day, after the ladies had said goodbye, I immediately called the man in the kitchenette who was in charge of my cooking.

It seems that because of yesterday's incident, he trembled a little when he saw me, and even trembled slightly when he knelt down to salute me.

"The slave greets the crown princess."

I looked at him indifferently and said lightly: "Get up and talk back." ”

He bowed his head and said tremblingly, "Yes." ”

After he got up, I asked out loud: "Bengong asked you, why are the meals you made for Bengong that day all some meat and greasy food?" ”

He seemed to swallow his saliva, and his Adam's apple trembled slightly, and then he replied curtly: "Back to the crown princess, because you are pregnant, you have prepared a lot of food for the great supplement......"

Before he could finish speaking, I interrupted him: "But someone told you to do this?" ”

He was stunned for a moment, raised his eyes and glanced at me, and when he saw my cold face, he couldn't help but shudder, and hurriedly lowered his head and replied, "Back to the crown princess... This... This is all indicated by Concubine Lin, she said that it is good for the fetus in your womb, so... That's why..."

"That palace has sent people to ask you to change these foods many times, why don't you do it? At that time, Concubine Lin had already been grounded. ”

He frowned slightly, and his face couldn't help but show a trace of sadness, "This... Although Concubine Lin was still grounded at that time, she told the slave before that that you definitely wouldn't want to eat these all the time, but if you want the fetus in your womb to be healthy and strong after birth, then you can't follow your wishes, and she also said that if the child is healthy after birth, then the slave is also indispensable, so... The minions withstood the pressure and continued to serve you the same meal. ”

When I heard this, my heart suddenly sank, and I secretly took a breath of cold air.

Lin Shanning really grasped everyone's utilitarian heart just right, even in the cold palace, he could manipulate all this to harm my child.

I really underestimated her.

Lin Ningning is probably more thoughtful and calm than anyone I have ever met, she is gentle as jade on the surface, and her temperament is like an orchid, like a harmless little white rabbit, but secretly, she can manipulate everything and achieve her goals by any means.

Therefore, the so-called fornication thing she designed that day may not be to get rid of me in one fell swoop, her purpose should be to grounded me in the courtyard again, after all, at that time, it will be easy for her to get rid of the child in my womb, just like she wanted to order someone to destroy my innocence that day, it couldn't be simpler.

And the elephant gall, perhaps, is just a two-handed preparation for her secret operation.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but sneer and squint my eyes slightly.

I met a really powerful character.
