Chapter 208: The Queen Mother is poisoned
Originally, there was no benefit from the Qin family, but the queen proposed to the emperor that she should reward the princess's adoptive parents and improve the status of the princess!
It seems that the more he doesn't like something, the more the queen will come in the opposite way, and her eyes will hide jealousy from time to time!
"Does this have anything to do with my mother?" Qin Nianbai muttered to herself, when the overall situation is decided, she must investigate the death of Concubine Su back then!
She planned to go to the Queen Mother to find out, so she prepared some small snacks made by herself and walked towards Shoukang Palace.
As a result, the queen mother is also there, and she is playing with the queen mother!
Seeing Qin Nianbai coming, the queen was the first to stand up and take her hand, "Zhaoyang, I'm still used to living, what is missing, I must tell the queen mother, it's all for you!" ”
"Thank you to the queen mother, the sons don't lack anything, just make some small snacks, come and see the imperial grandmother, and the queen mother will also taste the craftsmanship of the sons together!"
Qin Nianbai put down the food box in his hand and took out a plate of delicate lotus root powder osmanthus sugar cake and a plate of refreshing pea yellow cake.
Just when she thought that she didn't want to find out anything today, the queen took the initiative to talk about the good relationship between Su Guifei and her.
didn't forget to squeeze a few tears in front of the queen mother, if it weren't for Qin Nianbai's own life of two lifetimes, he wouldn't have seen the jealousy in the queen's eyes at all.
Then, the Queen Mother was also provoked to cry, and the two of them cried together, if it weren't for the fear of being shown ruthless, Qin Nianbai had no choice but to sigh and wipe her tears.
"Zhaoyang, Queen Mother, it's all my fault, a good reunion day, and I made you sad again!" The queen said reproachfully while wiping her tears with a handkerchief.
The Queen Mother pulled Qin Nianbai with one hand, and looked up with her eyes, "You two are good boys, I don't blame you, Fu Hui knows that it's time to rest assured!" ”
"Okay, hurry up and eat the pastries sent by Zhaoyang, they will be back in the tide for a while, and the taste will not be good!" The queen held back her tears, changed her smile to a smile, and said gently.
Qin Nianbai was secretly surprised, the queen's tears were accepted, and her expression was not leaking!
Then, the two plates of pastries were also praised by the Queen Mother and the Empress.
On the way back with the child, Qin Nianbai walked with the queen for a while.
The queen retreated, and led her to a corner of the garden, and after she sat down, she still had a gentle face, and said in a warm tone:
"This palace knows that you have doubts in your heart, and suspects that this palace has something to do with your mother's death, so I came to spy three times and twice!"
was told the secret in the center, Qin Nianbai panicked, and quickly stabilized, she coaxed the child to sleep, but she didn't care, "What did the queen mother say, why can't I understand?" ”
The queen continued gently, "When you sit in the position of the palace, you should know what it means to be involuntarily, you can't have emotions, you can't have jealousy, you have to pity everything in the harem, and you have to accommodate everything in the harem!" ”
Seeing Qin Nianbai listening carefully, her tone became more and more excited, "This palace is the queen, you have also seen what this palace looks like before, speaking of this, don't you understand?" If this palace harms Concubine Su, you won't be able to escape today! ”
The implication is to tell Qin Nianbai that there are all her people around, as long as she is willing, Qin Nianbai can disappear in the palace, and no one will find out!
"Queen Mother, you have said a lot, the more I listen, the more confused I become, I want to know what is the relationship between you and my mother......" Qin Nianbai raised his head and said in a calm tone.
What the queen is best at is to win people's hearts, and she must hold it herself, and she can't be trapped by her.
"Well, I'll tell you the truth!" The queen stood up, looked up at the sky, and remembered the past.
It turns out that she and Concubine Su are sisters and are also the show girls of the same year, and her family affairs and appearance are not inferior to Su Furui.
Only lost the emperor's heart to her, she said that she just wanted to be by the emperor's side, but the emperor wanted to make her the queen, at that time, the queen was the queen now, and she also hated Su Furui, and she still hated it until now!
But she didn't hurt Su Furui, not once, even if Su Furui recruited someone to frame her for adultery, she came to her rescue......
This is the truth that Qin Nianbai heard, she was surprised and sad, but she was analyzing in her heart, what the queen said was true, and what she said was false!
"That's right, I'm jealous of your mother, can't I even be jealous as a woman?" The more the queen spoke, the more sad she became, and she couldn't help but sob.
"Queen Mother, I'm sorry!" Qin Nianbai stood up, knelt down with the child in his arms, and said earnestly.
The queen hurriedly helped her up, wiped her tears and said: "Get up quickly, as long as you can solve the doubts in your heart, even if the queen mother is wronged, she will not be sad!" ”
The two exchanged a few more pleasantries, and Qin Nianbai left first with the child in his arms.
After seeing her leave, the queen breathed a sigh of relief and sighed: "Furui, this child Zhaoyang doesn't look like you, but I will take good care of her in the future!" ”
During dinner, Qin Nianbai picked up the bowl, and the palace maid who was waiting outside ran anxiously and said, "Your Highness, Your Highness, it's not good, something happened to Shoukang Palace, and the emperor wants you to go over immediately!" ”
Qin Nianbai was surprised, could it be that the Queen Mother was sick, she quickly put down the dishes and chopsticks, asked Bao's mother to watch the child, and did not sit in the sedan chair, so she took the palace maid all the way to Shoukang Palace.
As soon as he entered the inner courtyard of Shoukang Palace, serious anger quietly came, and seven or eight imperial doctors came in and out, sweating profusely.
Qin Nianbai's heart tightened, could it be that the Queen Mother was really sick, whether the Queen Mother was good to her deceased concubine or to her, she had nothing to say.
She hurriedly entered the main hall, where the emperor and the queen were already sitting in the main hall, their faces full of anxiety.
"Father, mother, what's wrong with the emperor's grandmother?" Qin Nianbai asked worriedly.
The emperor glanced at Qin Nianbai, his eyes were full of incomprehension and helplessness, he beckoned: "Zhaoyang, sit down, the imperial doctor is still treating your grandmother, and there will be results in a short time!" ”
Qin Nianbai nodded and sat next to the queen, who was also frowning, anxious, and asked her to drink saliva first to slow down.
In less than a quarter of an hour, three or four imperial doctors came out of the inner room sweating profusely, knelt down and said: "Back to the emperor, queen, the queen mother has no worries about her life, fortunately, the poisoning is not deep!" ”
The emperor just hummed, and beckoned the imperial doctor to step back first, his face full of exhaustion.
"Your Majesty......" The queen glanced at Qin Nianbai again, and stopped talking.
The emperor waved his hand directly and asked her not to say anything, he owes Fu Yuan and Zhaoyang too much, and he can't pay it off in this life!
And Qin Nianbai, who was sitting on the side, watched the couple play dumb riddles, coupled with the emperor's indifference to herself, which made her feel very uncomfortable, could it be that the poisoning of the Queen Mother was related to herself?
"Father, mother, son-in-law is really worried about the emperor's grandmother, I want to go in and have a look!" Qin Nianbai stood up and saluted, and said with a worried face.
"Zhaoyang, your imperial grandmother has just been rescued, you shouldn't bother, when she is well, you can go again, okay?"
The queen hurriedly said cautiously, looking worried about Qin Nianbai.
The emperor also tried to smile and said: "What your queen mother said is that you should go back and wait, don't disturb your grandmother, my father will go to see you later, good!" ”
The emperor and queen blocked together, if Qin Nianbai still had to break in at this time, it would mean that she didn't know the etiquette and didn't care about the rules, and I was afraid that she would be preached by those officials again.
Qin Nianbai had no choice but to make another big salute and obediently retreated.
Passing by the courtyard, she saw the imperial doctor coming in and out, so she grabbed one and asked: "I am Princess Chaoyang, what kind of poison did the queen mother have, but there is still a great sorrow?" ”
As soon as the imperial doctor saw that it was the princess, he knelt down and said in fear: "The little ones are all serving outside, I don't know!" ”
At first glance, he knew that he was warned to seal his mouth, otherwise how could he be scared like that.
It seems that the palace maids, eunuchs, and eunuchs of Shoukang Palace all have the same tongue, and they can't ask anything.
As soon as Qin Nianbai came out of the gate of Shoukang Palace, a imperial doctor chased out from behind, it was really Liu Hong.
"Your Highness, please stay!" Doctor Liu whispered, and then motioned for her to come aside and speak.
"The Queen Mother is indeed poisoned, and it was added to the meal, but fortunately, the venom is not evenly sprinkled, and there is not much to eat, so there is no big problem!"
Doctor Liu said so, but there was hesitation in his eyes, as if he still had something to say but didn't dare.
"Imperial Doctor Liu, you and I can be regarded as having a relationship, once you chase it out, just tell me the truth!" Qin Nianbai said in a very serious tone, she just wanted to know if the Queen Mother's poisoning had anything to do with her.
Imperial Physician Liu looked at it, and then whispered: "Your Highness, this matter is very important, the emperor ordered him to seal his mouth, and Weichen also risked his life to reveal it to you!" ”
Qin Nianbai knew that he had some scruples, after all, this was a capital crime of destroying the family and stealing the family, so she stretched out her finger to swear: "I will never reveal this matter, otherwise I will be in vain and will not die a good death!" ”
Doctor Liu paused, "I ate two plates of pastries, two pieces each, one is lotus root flour osmanthus sugar cake, and the other is pea yellow cake!" ”
Qin Nianbai immediately broke out in a cold sweat, these two plates of pastries were made by himself and sent to Shoukang Palace by hand!
But the queen also used it, although it was a small bite, but there were no symptoms, unless she was waiting for time!
Therefore, the imperial doctor informed the emperor early in the morning of the source of the queen mother's poisoning, and the emperor chose not to say anything, nor did he blame himself, let alone punish the crime and go to prison!
The queen must have said a lot of good things for herself, such an act doesn't make her guilty, and makes the emperor feel guilty and refuses to pursue it, this is to let her guilt in the heart of the emperor and queen mother be wiped out little by little!
"I see, thank you Doctor Liu!" Qin Nianbai said calmly.
This matter must not be counted like this, the emperor has already determined that he is guilty, and he has no one to rely on in the palace, how to find out, she has to think slowly.
At the same time, in the hall of the main hall of Shoukang Palace, the queen pretended to be puzzled and asked: "Since you have recruited Chaoyang to come, why don't you ask clearly, in case there is a misunderstanding?" ”
"That's it, just pay attention to it in the future!" The emperor said lightly.
The queen suddenly stood up and knelt down, "It's all bad concubines, I shouldn't tell you about the original grievances between Chaoyang and the queen mother, please ask the emperor to punish the crime!" ”
