Chapter 279: Discovery
After the emperor left, Lu Yezhen neither cried nor made trouble, just lay on the bed silently. It was as quiet as death.
hesitated again and again, but finally pushed the door in.
"Little Lord...... "No one answered her." Qing Qian tiptoed to the bed, and saw Lu Yezhen staring at the top of the tent with big eyes, and he didn't know what he was looking at? "Little master, what are you looking at?"
"Look at that ......" There was a purple brocade blessing bag embroidered with a golden dragon hanging on the top of the tent, and it could be seen that it had only been newly made for a long time. Lu Yezhen suddenly felt sarcastic: "This lucky bag was tied by the emperor himself during the Chinese New Year." He said that with the dragon qi to protect our mother and son, we will definitely be safe...... Oh, how ridiculous? ”
"Your Majesty, he ......" The emperor looked unhappy when he left, and he guessed a few points with a shallow feeling.
"Don't mention him! Men are all negative men, and one counts as one! "Sun Sen died, leaving her widowed; Lin Ze's flowing water is ruthless, which makes her sentimental; Now even the emperor is disgusted with her! What's the fun of her living? It's better to be killed by that arrow in the first place!
Lu Yezhen sat up quickly, said that it was too late, and tore off the lucky bag and threw it to the ground: "Take it out for me and burn it!" ”
"But this is ......" This blessing bag is a gift from the emperor, and to destroy it at will is to despise the king's authority.
"I said it burned, don't you understand?!" Lu Yanzhen was furious.
"Yes, slave and maid are going!" Qing Qian tucked the lucky bag into his sleeve, thinking that it would be better to dig a pit and bury it.
"Wait!" Lu Yezhen suddenly stopped her again, thinking that the little master had changed his mind, but unexpectedly added another order: "Smash the blue and white incense burner for me; The gilded lily tripod of the outer hall was also sealed. From now on, no incense is allowed in my dormitory! ”
Qingqian agreed, picked up the incense burner and ran all the way to the red maple tree in the backyard of Yilan Palace. She first buried the blessing bag, then picked up a hard rock and smashed it into the incense burner. After a lot of effort, Ding Bang knocked for a long time, and finally smashed the incense burner into several petals.
At this time, I suddenly heard the sound of frolicking, and I didn't want to be discovered, so I hurriedly pulled some dirt with my feet and hastily covered up the fragments of the incense burner. Then he walked away quickly.
Qing Qian may have been in such a hurry that he didn't notice the broken incense burner, and its inner wall looked strange when exposed to sunlight. If you look closely, you will find that it is tired of a brown, wax-like coating!
Ziyue and the two palace maids from the east side hall came to the backyard with a smile and a smile.
"Sister Ziyue, it's too early for this maple leaf to turn red, it's not the right time for you to pick it up now!" The palace maid Dou'er was puzzled.
"Who says you have to be red? The little master only said that he wanted to make some bookmarks with maple leaves, and he didn't specify the color! Right, Sister Ziyue? Another palace maid named Sesame answered.
"Yes, although the maple leaves are still green, the green is also green!" Ziyue smiled: "Don't stand stupidly, you two go over there to pick it, I'll go over there." Remember to pick the shape and the whole! ”
"Got it!" The beans and sesame seeds dispersed separately, and Ziyue also walked in the direction of Fang Caiqing's shallow burial.
Ziyue was engrossed in looking for qualified leaves, and without paying attention, she stepped on a "sharp stone", which made her feet hurt!
"Ouch!" Ziyue exhaled softly, and hurriedly sat down and took off her shoes to see if the soles of her feet were punctured? Fortunately, it was only a little red, and there was no bleeding.
Really! Where did the stone come out? She had to see what the "culprit" who almost hurt her looked like. She tugged at the dirt that covered the "stone" and found the remains of some kind of vessel underneath!
"What is this?" Ziyue picked up a black shard and turned it over to look at it. The pattern is quite familiar! It seems to be ...... It's an incense burner! It's a blue and white incense burner!
In order to celebrate the promotion of Yu Concubine, the division set up a room and added a lot of utensils to the Yilan Palace. Among them, there is a pair of blue and white incense burners, one in each of the east and west halls. The fragment in Ziyue's hand must be the one in the West Side Palace!
However, why did you smash the good incense burner? Or did you accidentally break it? Ziyue held up the fragment and looked at the sunlight carefully, and found that the black side seemed to be painted with something?
Problematic! Recently, there has been a lot of chaos in Yilan Palace, and she feels that there is definitely something wrong with this thing! Ziyue didn't dare to make a noise, and quietly picked up two pieces and hid them in her sleeve. Everything will wait until I go back and report to Concubine Yu, and then make plans.
"Sister Ziyue, we've picked it up, are you okay?" In the distance, Sesame called, and it seemed that their mission was complete.
Ziyue casually picked up a handful of maple leaves and threw them into the basket, and responded: "Hey, okay, okay!" Let's go back. ”
As soon as she returned to the dormitory, Ziyue immediately closed the door and hurriedly found Xia Yubing.
"The maple leaves have come back?" Xia Yubing picked out a few beloved books and bookmarked them.
"Leave this alone! Little master, what do you see the slave and maid have discovered? Ziyue excitedly showed the fragment of the incense burner to Xia Yubing.
"What is this? It looks dirty! Xia Yubing picked up a piece, looked at it, and exclaimed: "Blue and white incense burner? Who broke it? ”
"The little master misunderstood, this is not the one in our palace, it is the concubine's." Ziyue pointed to the side of the inner wall: "Little master, take a closer look, is there something pasted on this?" ”
Xia Yubing pushed open the window and let the daylight into the room, and it seemed that there was really one through the light!
It's very weird, and it's very secretive. The coating is only visible in bright daylight and is not easily visible in a dimly lit bedroom. What's more, the incense burner is opaque, who can notice it? This is also why Lu Yangzhen's master and servant didn't find anything when they inspected the incense burner.
"I don't know what it is?" Zi Yue's mind was spinning rapidly, and suddenly a flash of inspiration: "Could it have something to do with the concubine's miscarriage?" ”
Both the master and servant were taken aback by this thought. Xia Yubing pulled out the hairpin and scraped it vigorously on the shards. The coating fell, and Ziyue hurriedly pulled a piece of white paper to catch it.
"Whatever it is, let's get a doctor to check it first." Xia Yubing pinched Ziyue's arm: "Remember to find a trustworthy doctor." Ziyue nodded, wrapped the suspicious powder, and hurried to the hospital.
After a while, Ziyue took the packet of powder and a copy of the Taiyi's test results.
"Little Lord, it's Musk!" Ziyue handed the paper slip with the results recorded to Xia Yubing: "In addition to musk, there are also amber crumbs mixed in it. I think it's the surface of the coating, and the musk is sealed in amber on the wall of the incense burner. ”
"Who did it?" Xia Yubing stared at the two fragments, this must be the culprit who caused the miscarriage of the concubine. Surely it won't be the concubine herself, it's the people in the Yilan Palace? Or someone from the outside? She had no clue.
"These incense burners and ornaments are all made by the division in accordance with the emperor's instructions. How can anyone dare to do anything? It's terrible! Ziyue sighed, there are really a lot of "outlaws" in this harem!
"Your Majesty...... Divisional ...... Ordered to build ......" Xia Yubing racked his brains to link these together, and suddenly thought of a terrifying possibility: "Could it be the emperor...... Ziyue! Quick, quickly check the incense burners and incense sticks in our hall one by one to see if there is a similar coating! ”
"Huh?" Before Ziyue could figure out what was going on, her master suddenly gave an order, and she had to do it immediately.
After some tossing, as Xia Yubing expected, there were problems with the large and small incense burners in her bedroom!
"Oh my God! What's going on! Ziyue opened her mouth wide in disbelief.
Xia Yubing couldn't breathe, she gasped and sat down in her chair, muttering, "How is it possible? How can it be? It doesn't make sense......"
"Little master, what kind of dumb riddle are you playing? Hurry to die slaves! Ziyue grabbed Xia Yubing's sleeve and begged her to make it clear.
"This batch of incense burners...... Before he was sent to the Yilan Palace, he was moved. Xia Yubing held Ziyue's hand, cold as frost. It seems that this time she was wrong. It's not that she's been affected by her concubines; On the contrary, it is the source of the concubine's miscarriage, which is actually on her!
Before it was delivered, that was in the process of being made? Who has such guts? Zhong Si set? Hushang Palace? Still is...... Emperor?!
Ziyue was also frightened by this thought, she turned her head to look at her master, and her voice trembled: "No,
No way? It shouldn't be the emperor! "If the emperor doesn't want the little lord to get pregnant, he can give him a soup to avoid the child, why bother?
"I can't figure it out, I don't think it should be him...... But who else but him has so much power? So powerful? "Maybe it's Zhong Chengbi who is operating, but the person behind the scenes must be a high-ranking and powerful person!
"Not necessarily! Or a queen, an imperial concubine...... There are not a few powerful concubines in the harem, and there are always one or two who can buy off the relationship of the Shang Palace Bureau! Ziyue made a bold guess and expanded the scope of suspects.
Empress? Although the queen has a gap with the crown prince, she is a little reluctant to move her anger; Imperial Concubine? She has no relationship with Xu Ying, could it be that Xu Ying will harm her for no reason? Other concubines, Xia Yubing can't think of it, because she has never had a grudge with anyone.
"It's too complicated, don't make a noise about it. These utensils are no longer usable, and they are quietly replaced; You go to the backyard again and dig up all the remaining debris. Just go! Xia Yubing asked Ziyue to hurry up and do it, while she paced around the room restlessly.
For many days, the emperor no longer set foot in the Yilan Palace. Maybe it's because you don't want to face a concubine who is blindly immersed in sorrow, right? Even with it, he snubbed Xia Yubing, who lived with him. The Yilan Hall suddenly changed from a city to a door.
Since discovering the secret of the incense burner, Xia Yubing has been unable to sleep at night, and she can't tell anyone, she is really suffocating!
It's another sunny day, and Xia Yubing feels that if she doesn't go out for a walk again, she will get moldy! She has few friends in the harem, and those who entered the palace at the same time can only chat with Du Fangwei and Yu Furui. But now Du Fang is gone; Yu Fu Hui just adopted the Nine Emperor Princes after the New Year, and she is busy taking care of the children at this time! Who should she talk to?
"Why don't you go and take a look at Wei Meiren, right? Her heart palpitations have not improved, and she has nothing to pay attention to her, blame the pitiful! Ziyue was born with compassion.
"It's okay, she can be regarded as a sister who entered the palace with me. Grab some supplements and let's pay a visit. "Today's Xia Yubing is very vigilant, and he only dares to contact harmless concubines like Wei Nan.
