CHAPTER XIV
Let Xiao Yue open the plate that was buckled, and glanced at the crystal clear longan that had been peeled, Su Yao tilted her head, and couldn't say anything wrong, and after a while, she let Xiao Yue in.
Su Yao looked at Xiaoyue's back thoughtfully, this girl felt very different to herself, and she couldn't tell what was different.
As soon as she came out of the Sakura Xin Palace, Su Yao met Xiaohuan who came in a hurry.
"Seeing that Niangniang is not in Fengqi Palace, the slave knows that you should go to see Concubine Niangniang." Xiaohuan gasped slightly, and her cheeks were slightly red.
"What's in that cup of sweetheart, can you find out?" Su Yao nodded and asked.
"The slave and maid have checked it, and there is nothing strange about it, that is, there are a lot of hawthorns in the sweet dew." Xiaohuan replied.
"Hawthorn?" Su Yao muttered. From this point of view, Zhu Shijin and Su Yier really just want to embarrass Shangguan Yuan in public at the harem banquet, but who is this kind of three-year-old child's trick to see, and what is the point? Zhu Shijin can share the harem equally with Shangguan Yuan, she is by no means an idle person, Shangguan Yuan is so smart, Zhu Shijin is by no means worse than her.
"Niangniang, the slave maid came to you in such a hurry to tell you that Her Royal Highness the Third Princess had just come to Fengqi Palace." Xiaohuan's eager words interrupted Su Yao's thoughts.
"Your Royal Highness the Third Princess?" Su Yao thought for a moment and asked, "Her Royal Highness the Third Princess came in person, what did you say?" ”
"The slave didn't dare to ask, she saw that you were not there, so she went back first." Xiaohuan shook his head and replied, "Your Highness came here in person, I'm afraid there is something to discuss." ”
"In this case, you can go with me to the Prayer Cloud Hall for a walk." Su Yao said, walking quickly in the direction of the Qiyun Palace.
Xiaohuan answered, and hurriedly followed.
Prayer Cloud Hall.
"I've seen Her Royal Highness the Third Princess." Su Yao glanced at Sun Yaruo beside Ling Tian, and bowed slightly to Ling Tian, who had already changed into plain clothes. Xiaohuan seemed to be a little scared of Ling Tian, and began to tremble as soon as she entered the Qiyun Palace, so Su Yao asked her to wait outside the door.
"I just went to look for you, but I didn't see you, and this palace knew that you must have gone to the Sakura Xin Palace." Ling Tian motioned for Su Yao to sit down and said.
"It's true that I went to see Concubine Shu," Su Yao nodded and replied, "Listening to Xiaohuan, I thought that Her Royal Highness the Third Princess might have something important, so I came over." ”
"Then Shangguan Yuan has seen you?" Ling Tian was not in a hurry, smiled slightly, and asked.
Su Yao shook her head and said, "Concubine Shu said that she was unwell...... Didn't see me. ”
Ling Tian took a small bite of the peach crisp, which she had expected a long time ago.
"This palace likes this peach crisp the most, sweet and delicious, if you don't eat it for a few days, you will always remember its taste." Ling Tian elegantly pinched the peach cake that had only taken a small bite in his hand, and said softly, "But does the queen know why this palace only takes that small bite every time?" ”
Before the words fell, Ling Tian threw the peach cake in his hand on the ground casually.
"Su Yao is stupid, I don't know." Seeing the crunchy and tempting peach cake fall to the ground like this, Su Yao was secretly distressed. Such a good peach crisp, if you don't eat it, give it to me, it's too wasteful to throw it on the ground! Don't think that if you are good-looking and the princess of the country, you can do whatever you want! ...... It seems that he can really do whatever he wants......
"Because that's the only way to keep it fresh, if you gobble it up and don't know how to control it, it won't take long to get tired, and after a long time, you will have disgust." Looking at Su Yao's appearance, Ling Tian's voice suddenly became a little higher, and his words revealed seriousness and coldness, as well as a chilling murderous aura that was completely inconsistent with his age, "Don't think I'm joking with you, Su Yao, this is the palace, do you think it's still a frolicking among children?" Since Ling Yi has chosen you, there are some things, and it is my responsibility as an imperial sister to discipline you well on his behalf, and also let you know what the degree is, if you can't even control this most basic degree, you won't be worthy of staying by his side anymore, do you understand, queen? ”
Being pointed at her nose by Ling Tian and preaching, Su Yao was a little stunned, her heart was beating fast, her mind was blank, the momentum on this girl who was only eighteen or nineteen years old was really scary, even when she was a child, she was served by Daddy's family law, and she was not as nervous as she is now, is this the Royal Highness of the Third Princess who makes Zhu Shijin and Shangguan Yuan jealous.
"I see, thank you, Your Royal Highness the Third Princess." For a long time, Su Yao's face was still a little hot, she slowly stood up and gave Ling Tian a serious salute.
"Thank me for what?" Ling Tian's eyes appeared with approval and acknowledgement, and he asked. Su Yao was able to react so quickly in her own oppression, which Ling Tian did not expect, although the girl was still a little trembling when she stood up.
Su Yao didn't speak, just smiled at Ling Tian. Su Yao was not a fool, she naturally knew what the "degree" in Ling Tian's words meant, and she also knew that Ling Tian was hinting that she should not be in a hurry. If you are too anxious, it may have the opposite effect and attract Shangguan Yuan's disgust. This is a very simple thing, it only takes two or three sentences to explain it clearly, Ling Tian suddenly made a difficulty, he was sounding the alarm for Su Yao. It is to remind Su Yao that everything must be mastered in the future. This really reminded Su Yao that when she first arrived in the palace, the darkness in it was unimaginable, and everyone told her to be careful, she naturally had to take precautions. Su Yao has indeed relaxed in the past few days, but fortunately, nothing happened.
Seeing that Su Yao didn't speak, Ling Tian was not in a hurry, but just smiled. There are always people who say that the queen has no talent and no virtue, she is a straw bag, the emperor is really sloppy after the book, today Ling Tian tried it, only to find that the person who spread this rumor is the real straw bag, sitting in front of her is the real Queen of Daqi, is the person who is really worthy of the name of "Queen Daqi", although she is not full of wings now, and there are many immature, but over time, her talent and courage must be better than that of Concubine Shufei De.
Ling Tian hadn't fully trusted this silly-looking girl, after all, it was the entire Daqi's harem that would be handed over to her in the future, but the worries in her heart had been put down a lot.
"The matter of this palace has been said." After a while, Ling Tian said to Su Yao, who was sitting down again, "After the banquet was over, the palace saw that the queen ordered someone to take away the sweet dew that Concubine Shu had drunk......
"I'm really worried, so I want to make sure." Su Yao nodded and said.
"That sweet dew will not be a problem, the two of them know that the emperor and the palace are present, it is impossible for them to do it in front of everyone, the queen is too worried." Su Yao treats Shangguan Yuan sincerely, but her sincerity may not be able to be exchanged for sincerity in Shangguan Yuan, Ling Tian sighed secretly in her heart, after all, this child's days in the palace are too little, and she is still too tender.
"Her Royal Highness the Third Princess." Su Yao nodded and said, "There is really no problem with that sweet dew, but a lot of hawthorn has been added." ”
"Hawthorn?" Sun Yaruo, who had not spoken on the side, suddenly called out when she heard "hawthorn".
"Is there anything wrong, Jaruo?" Ling Tian looked at Sun Yaruo, who had a strange face, and asked with some displeasure. As a female official of the fifth rank who manages the entire Shangyi Bureau, Sun Yaruo usually knows the rules the most, but today she suddenly screamed because of a hawthorn, which really made Ling Tian unexpected.
Su Yao was also a little curious, and looked at Sun Yaruo suspiciously.
"Hawthorn...... A pregnant person is not allowed to eat. The gaze of the two girls made Sun Yaruo a little uncomfortable, although she realized her gaffe, she still said anxiously.
"This palace knows," Ling Tian frowned, and replied angrily, "It's that you can't eat it, but it's not that if you eat it, something will happen, and just that little bit in the wine glass, how can something happen?" ”
Su Yao frowned, she had never been pregnant, and she didn't know anything about it, but the bad premonition in her heart became stronger and stronger.
"That little hawthorn really won't shed the concubine's womb, but what if that little hawthorn is just an introduction?" Sun Yaruo's face was a little ugly, the corners of her mouth were full of bitterness, and she dared to kneel on the ground and said, "It's Weichen's dereliction of duty, Weichen should have investigated that matter thoroughly, but there are too many people in the palace, and many of those little palace maids and eunuchs have unclean hands and feet, petty theft every day, and sometimes close to the harem banquet, Weichen didn't care too much......"
Sun Yaruo's voice became lower and lower, until finally, she buried her head deep and stopped talking. Hearing this, Su Yao was still confused, but Ling Tian seemed to have thought of something, his eyes gradually became sharp, and the invisible coercion spread in the dull voice.
"Speak well, what's the matter?"
"Shang ...... The Shangyi Bureau is the first of the six divisions, and Wechen not only manages the Shangyi Bureau, but also supervises the other five divisions. Before the harem banquet...... Someone in the Shangshan Bureau often reports the loss of medicinal and dietary materials," Sun Yaruo's voice trembled a little, and she gradually realized that what she thought was a small matter might turn into a serious matter. Since childhood, following Her Royal Highness the Third Princess, Ling Tian's joy and anger Sun Yaruo couldn't be clearer, she knew that Ling Tian was a little angry this time, "Wei Chen saw that the number of lost ingredients was very small, and it was just spring, and there were not many people in the palace who used medicinal food, so he didn't care, and he thought that he would investigate the matter thoroughly after the harem banquet was over......"
"Master Sun is really amazing, he does things so thoughtlessly." Ling Tian sneered and said in a low voice. Hearing Ling Tian say this, Sun Yaruo trembled, and panic and fear appeared on her little face.
"What was the lost ingredient?" Hearing Sun Yaruo talk about medicinal food, Su Yao chuckled in her heart, and hurriedly asked.
"Guan Gui, Cinnamon ...... There are also some warm ingredients...... "Sun Yaruo swallowed a mouthful of saliva, her heart beat fast, and there were ten thousand regrets in her mind, why didn't she think about it much at the beginning.
"Yaruo, you have studied medicine for two years before, you should know that pregnant people are the most avoidant," Ling Tian's eyes revealed disappointment, just the disappointment that Sun Yaruo didn't even find out about such a simple little thing.
Su Yao didn't speak, her mind went blank, she just hoped that things wouldn't go the way she thought......
"Pregnant people do avoid heat, but there are very few ingredients to lose, although some time, only those are not enough to slip the tire, even with the help of hawthorn, the stimulation of this cool thing, it is difficult to have the effect of sliding the tire." Sun Yaruo hurriedly said, her heart was secretly glad that Su Yao went to check the contents of the cup, otherwise she didn't know what would happen. She had long forgotten about this matter, this Concubine De was really vicious, and she actually thought of using this method, but she should have missed Su Yao and would check the contents of the cup, so as long as Su Yao was asked to remind Shangguan Yuan, as soon as Shangguan Yuan was on guard, Zhu Shijin failed, "The top priority now is to hurry up and remind Concubine Shu, let her be careful, as long as she ......"
"If," Sun Yaruo hadn't finished speaking, Su Yao interrupted her in a daze, and what Su Yao was most worried about still happened, the palace maid with a face, a calm response, and the plate of longan that had been peeled......
Su Yao interrupted suddenly, attracting the attention of both of them. Ling Tian heard Sun Yaruo say this, knowing that the matter had not yet reached the point of no return, but seeing that Su Yao, who should have been more relieved than himself, was still strained, and a bad premonition came to his heart.
"What if you add longan?" Su Yao stood up from her seat, slowly squatted down, and looked at Sun Yaruo.
"What did you say, Queen Mother?" Sun Yaruo's pupils shrank slightly, and she asked as if she hadn't heard clearly.
"Although Bengong doesn't know medical skills, he also knows that longan is the warmest and hottest." Su Yao's voice gradually became cold.
"How could there be longan this season?" Sun Yaruo's face turned pale and asked.
Su Yao was silent for a while, and then said everything about the suspicious palace maid she met in front of the Yingxin Palace, including the name of the palace maid.
After listening to what Su Yao said, if Sun Ya stopped talking, she bit her lip, if something happened to Concubine Niangniang this time, although she was not fully responsible, she also had something to do with it. Although she knew that Ling Tian would definitely protect herself, but just seeing the disappointment in Ling Tian's eyes was even more uncomfortable than letting her take full responsibility, when she thought of the disappointment and displeasure in Ling Tian's eyes, Sun Yaruo's chest tightened terribly, she was really angry that she didn't think much about it at that time, she was angry that she was so stupid and caused trouble to the third princess, she thought like this, the more she thought about it, the more angry she became, the more angry she became, and unconsciously, tears flowed from the corners of her eyes.
"Longan is warm, under the stimulation of hawthorn, with those warm ingredients, if you use it every day, within three days, there will be an accident." Seeing Sun Yaruo's appearance, Ling Tian sighed secretly, Yaruo, Yaruo, I have always praised you for being careful, but I didn't expect that in such an important matter, it would be you who made a mistake. If something really happened to Shangguan Yuan this time, I'm afraid she won't trust anyone in the future, and it will be impossible for Su Yao to gain her trust again. If they can pull Shangguan Yuan to their side, they don't know how much help they will have to deal with Zhu Shijin and Zhu Yi.
Looking at Sun Yaruo's appearance, Su Yao also sighed, she didn't mean to blame Sun Yaruo, if she wanted to blame, she could only blame Zhu Shijin for being too insidious, ring by ring, interlocking, without missing any flaws. Stealing medicinal and dietary materials, offering wine at the banquet, and sending the palace maid to send longan, any of the three things is not enough to convict Zhu Shijin, but combining these three things may pull Shangguan Yuan into the abyss.
