But the matter has come to this point, it is useless to say more, he nodded tiredly: "Okay, then you can find out the mastermind behind it as soon as possible, if you feel struggling, I will send a few more people to help you." ”

Duanmu Youning sighed slightly: "Don't use it for the time being, the concubine will tell the emperor when necessary." ”

Dongling Guyun nodded: "By the way, I haven't had time to ask you, what happened to Ru Xue's body? I see that she has recovered well in the past few days, is her life saved? Otherwise, how can she have the strength to spread rumors everywhere?"

"The concubine doesn't dare to guarantee this," Duanmu Youning shook her head, "Concubine Xian's body has been fundamentally injured, how can it be possible to return to normal after only taking a few doses of medicine?" It's just that the condition is temporarily under control, but if the stimulation is too great and it causes vomiting blood, the situation will be even more serious, which is also the most important reason why the concubine is unwilling to deal with her." In any case, we must first find a way to prolong her life as much as possible, so the concubine also dared to remind the emperor that everything should be as smooth as possible for her, even if you can't follow her, at least you should avoid her, and try not to clash with her head-on, otherwise I'm afraid even the concubine will be helpless. ”

Dongling Guyun frowned, and he didn't say anything for a long time.

Yes, he knew that Zhen Ruxue was very innocent, but was he guilty? Is Duanmu Youning guilty? Which of them had the slightest malice? When Zhen Ruxue and the others were selected to enter the palace, it was not for her to be tortured. And at the beginning, Zhen Ruxue's innocence and kindness gave him a lot of comfort, he once thought she was an empathetic interpretation flower. But what changed that, and when did it start to change?

Seeing that it was getting late, Duanmu Youning immediately ordered someone to send a few exquisite side dishes and accompanied Dongling Guyun to eat some. After eating, the maid packed up the dishes and chopsticks and went out, she got up and said, "The concubine has to go to see the concubine again tonight, the emperor, you can rest first." ”

Dongling Guyun stood up when he heard this: "In this case, I will go back first, you are careful in everything." ”

Duanmu Youning nodded: "The concubine knows." ”

After sending away Tanglin Guyun, Duanmu Youning immediately packed up, changed into night clothes, took advantage of the night to come to Zhen Ruxue's dormitory, quietly sneaked into the palace and hid on the beams of the room, and was not surprised to find that Zhen Ruxue had not fallen asleep, and was going back and forth in the room, muttering incessantly: "I want to tell them, I want to tell them how vicious the queen is, I don't believe that Brother Yun will favor her!"

Qiao Lianying stood aside, but didn't say anything, just looked at her with a sad face, with a strong despair in her eyes. Seeing her like this, Duanmu Youning on the beam of the house was also extremely uncomfortable. Although Tanglin Guyun had already emphasized that it would not be possible if he didn't nod his head and become a concubine, she still felt that she was the culprit. It is based on this that she is willing to tolerate all of Zhen Ruxue's offense. After all, she was such an innocent little girl at the beginning, but she has come to this point, if she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, who would have believed it?

Seeing that it was too late, Qiao Lianying had to sigh and stand up and persuade softly: "Ru Xue, it's not too early, let's go to sleep first, and I'll talk about it tomorrow." ”

thought that Zhen Ruxue would refuse, but she nodded obediently and said, "Yes, it's time to sleep." Take care of your spirits, and tomorrow you will have the strength to continue to tell others about the queen's evil deeds, come, let's go to sleep. ”

Saying that, she took the initiative to walk to the bed and undress and go to bed, and closed her eyes without waiting for Qiao Lianying's urging: "Mother, I'm going to sleep, you should go back and rest quickly." ”

Qiao Lianying didn't know how long it had been since she had slept well, not to mention Zhen Ruxue's appearance, it was even more impossible for her to sleep, so she stayed in front of the bed and watched, silently shedding tears.

After a day of tossing, Zhen Ruxue may have been really tired, and it didn't take long for her to fall asleep deeply, and even let out a soft snoring sound. It was only at this time that Duanmu Youning quietly came outside the house, pretending to have just arrived and knocked on the door gently.

Hearing the pre-agreed code, Qiao Lianying immediately wiped her tears, got up and went over to open the door, although her expression was a little cold, her tone was quite polite: "The queen mother is here, please come in." ”

Although she has always misunderstood that Duanmu Youning killed Zhen Ruxue's child, it is undeniable that her medical skills are indeed unmatched, at least the imperial doctor had already judged Zhen Ruxue to die, but after taking a few pairs of Duanmu Youning's medicines, her mental state improved significantly. Based on this, Qiao Lianying is also willing to put away her hostility for the time being, and save Zhen Ruxue's life first no matter what.

Knowing what she meant, Duanmu Youning didn't say much, walked in, and quickly tested Zhen Ruxue's pulse, and then walked to the table to prescribe medicine: "Madam, according to the current situation, Concubine Xian's condition is quite stable, take a few more medicines to consolidate." ”

Qiao Lianying nodded, not knowing what to say for a while. After prescribing the medicine, Duanmu Youning stood up: "Please ask Madame to send someone to catch the medicine according to the prescription, and, if possible, try not to let Concubine Xian run around, her current situation should be suitable for recuperation." ”

When Qiao Lianying heard this, she suspected that she was hinting that Zhen Ruxue should not go around and tell people that the queen had killed her child, so she couldn't help frowning, and her tone became a little cold: "The courtiers know and will try their best to persuade Ruxue." However, the queen mother also said that everything should be followed by her, and the courtiers did not dare to persuade her too tightly, for fear of irritating her, so if Ru Xue had any verbal offense, she also asked the queen mother to see that she was a sick person. ”

Seeing that she had misunderstood what she meant, Duanmu Youning didn't plan to say more, nodded and said, "That's the case, Madam has worked hard." Take good care of Concubine Xian, the palace will go first. ”

Sending her out, Qiao Lianying closed the door, turned her head and sighed: If you hadn't killed Ru Xue's child, you would really be a good queen, it's a pity......

The next day, Qiao Lianying ordered Huanpei to take the medicine according to the prescription, and decocted the medicine and brought it to the bed. Since Zhen Ruxue's condition stabilized, Huanpei was in charge of serving her medicine. Seeing that everything was handled properly by her, Qiao Lianying was also very relieved, left for a while, and went back to wash and change clothes.

At this time, Zhen Ruxue had also woken up, so Huanpei stepped forward to help her sit up and brought the medicine bowl over: "Niangniang, it's time to take medicine." ”

Zhen Ruxue took the medicine bowl, raised her head and drank the medicine, and then frowned: "It's so bitter!"

Huan Pei smiled: "Good medicine is good for disease, as long as it is effective." ”

Zhen Ruxue glanced up at her: "Do you think it works?"

Huan Pei immediately nodded: "Yes, Niangniang's complexion is much better now than a few days ago, our emperor ...... The imperial doctor's medical skills are really clever. ”

In a moment of joy, she almost slipped her mouth, but fortunately she reacted quickly enough, and immediately continued, although there was a small pause in the middle, but if you don't listen carefully, you shouldn't be able to hear it.

Who knew that Zhen Ruxue noticed her pause, and immediately frowned: "What did you just say, what did the emperor say?"

Huan Pei secretly complained in his heart, but he tried his best to look like he had nothing to do: "The slave said that the imperial doctor of the dynasty, the mother is much better after taking their medicine, doesn't it mean that their medical skills are very smart?"

Although her performance was impeccable, Zhen Ruxue still stared at her suspiciously: "Huanpei, you tell the truth, who prescribed the medicine that Bengong took?"

Although Huan Pei complained bitterly, at this time, he could only grit his teeth and hold on: "The slave maid has already said that this medicine is prescribed by the imperial doctor." ”

Maybe it was because she didn't see the flaw, but after a while, Zhen Ruxue finally smiled: "It's good that it wasn't opened by the queen, you also know that this palace has a deep enmity with the queen, and I would rather die than take her medicine." ”

Temporarily escaped, Huan Pei secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time secretly warned himself in his heart to be more careful in what he said in the future, and never to make similar mistakes again, but said with a smile on his face: "Yes, of course the slave maid knows, so please rest assured that the slave will not take the medicine prescribed by the queen to give the mother to eat." ”

Zhen Ruxue nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, you go down." ”

Huan Pei agreed, and then he was really relieved, turned around and retreated. However, she never saw that Zhen Ruxue's eyes flashed with a cold light.

After a while, Qiao Lianying returned to the room after changing clothes and washing, and said with a smile: "Ru Xue, have you taken the medicine?"

Who knew that after asking the question, she didn't hear an answer for a long time, and she couldn't help frowning strangely: "Ru Xue, what's wrong?

Zhen Ruxue looked at her, and suddenly said coldly: "Mother, I know everything, how can you do this? I have said many times, the queen killed my child, I have a deep hatred with her, I would rather die than take her medicine, why do you still invite her?"

Qiao Lianying was startled, and asked in a voice: "How do you know......" She came to her senses halfway through the words, and immediately shook her head again and again, "No, I don't understand what you're talking about, the medicine you took was obviously prescribed by the imperial doctor......"

"Mother, you don't have to hide it from me!" Zhen Ruxue immediately interrupted her coldly, "Huanpei has already told me everything just now." ”

Qiao Lianying was immediately a little speechless, and after a while, she couldn't help gritting her teeth: "This damn girl, it's really more than enough to succeed and more than to lose! Didn't she be told to keep it a secret?"

"What? It turned out to be true?" Zhen Ruxue was shocked, and immediately changed her face, "I was still expecting that I guessed wrong, but I didn't expect it to be true!"

As soon as these words came out, Qiao Lianying was taken aback again: "What? So you guessed?!"

"It's not important," Zhen Ruxue gritted her teeth, her face full of hatred that couldn't be concealed, "Mother, you are really too much! I will never take the queen's medicine, she killed my child, I don't want her to pretend!"
