Chapter 115: It's Time to Settle Accounts

This chapter is for the third prince of the Hua family to be greatly updated, Ah Yong thank you!

…………………………………………………………………………

On the night of November in the thirteenth year of Xiantong, the air in the Daming Palace was cold and soaked through people's slightly thin winter clothes, and the lights in the Chenghuan Hall were flickering.

In the past, Concubine Guo Shu's face was red and swollen, and now her hands are still scratching the skin on her body. The smooth and white back skin that used to be as smooth and white as satin has long been a thing of the past, and the red scratches seem to be crawling on her back with red earthworms, making her look a little scary.

In addition to helping her master scratch, she also scratches herself from time to time. Guo Shufei kept shouting: "Here, here, use some strength." Where else, it's so itchy, it's so itchy! Go and prepare the bath water, and the palace will bathe again. ”

Zi Niang hurriedly said: "Niangniang, you can't bathe anymore, you have bathed eight times today." If you bathe again, your body can't stand it! ”

Concubine Guo Shu said angrily: "Cheap maid, do you think this palace wants to bathe?" For more than half a year, the itching on Hongu's body has not stopped. But now that the palace is not bathing, how can this itch be stopped? ”

Zi Niang didn't dare to speak, thinking that it was the right thing to do if she hurriedly prepared hot water for Niangniang, so she said to Guo Shufei: "Niangniang is angry, and the slave family will go and prepare." ”

After a quarter of an hour, in the bedroom of Concubine Guo Shu in the Chenghuan Palace, there was a rosewood aromatherapy screen, and at a glance, the screen was painted with a charming lady, who was leaning on the bed charmingly. The portrait is very vividly painted, and it can be seen that the portrait must be from a famous artist.

Crossing the screen, you can see that Concubine Guo Shu, who is in the Daming Palace, is lying on the edge of the bathtub very ungracefully, and Zi Niang behind her is laboriously wiping Guo Shufei's whole body with rose soap. The red and swollen marks all over the body slowly turned white under the action of rose soap, and the traces gradually blurred.

Concubine Guo Shufei lost the pain of itching, and felt relieved. Zi Niang said in a low voice while applying soap: "Niangniang, the official family has been rejected by you for several months now, and the slave family has heard that the official family is now very fond of the new Zhao Meiren." Always ask that Zhao beauty to accompany you. In the long run, the slave family is afraid that the official family will gradually alienate the mother. ”

When Concubine Guo heard this, her beautiful eyes widened, and she said hatefully: "That slut of the Zhao family, when the palace is ready, she will definitely be rectified." It's better for her to live than to die! to eliminate the hatred in my heart. ”

After Guo Shufei finished speaking, she suddenly remembered something, and said to Zi Niang: "When did the itching of the body in this palace start?" ”

Zi Niang recalled for a while before saying, "It seems that after we got the secret recipe for this soap, you began to itch on your body, but it was not obvious at first." Your itching has been getting worse in the last two months. However, the doctor will not be able to diagnose the cause of your itching. ”

Concubine Guo Shufei listened to Zi Niang's words, her heart was cold, and she remembered the abnormality in the past few months, so she said to Zi Niang: "Which one is the medical edict that treats the pulse of the palace on weekdays?" ”

"Yes, Wang Zhanyuan, the doctor of the Imperial Doctor's Department, has always been in charge of our Chenghuan Palace. What's wrong? Does Niangniang suspect that this royal doctor's edict has been bought?" Zi Niang asked suspiciously.

"At this point, it's better to be careful. You go to the Imperial Doctor's Office to ask another doctor to come to the edict, and you will say that the palace is occasionally unwell, and you need to find another doctor to come to the edict for diagnosis and treatment," Guo Shufei ordered.

Ziniang got the order, and hurriedly arranged for the palace people to go to the Imperial Doctor's Office to invite someone, and then turned around to serve Concubine Guo Shufei to wipe her body and change her clothes. Guo Shufei thought about it carefully now and noticed some conspiracy.

Zi Niang served Guo Shufei and got dressed, and was about to help Guo Shufei to lie down on the couch, but Guo Shufei turned around, picked up the soap that was placed next to the bath bucket, and put it in front of her eyes to look at it.

This soap is still purple, and the scent of roses comes to my nose. She suddenly remembered that when she first used this soap, the fragrance at that time was not as strong and rich as it is now.

She thought of something, and suddenly screamed, the flower changed color, and the soap fell to the ground. Zi Niang was also frightened by Guo Shufei, and hurriedly supported Guo Shufei and said urgently: "Niangniang, what's wrong?" ”

Guo Shufei trembled and could barely stand, and she muttered like a whisper in her mouth: "No, no, how can this soap be poisonous?" ”

Zi Niang heard it even more trembling, she and Guo Shufei both used this soap, the secret recipe of this soap since Chun Niang brought, according to the recipe and steps, really made the same soap, and the aroma of the soap is more fragrant and better than the previous Jinluan Palace.

After this Chunniang brought the formula at that time, she asked Chunniang to try it for seven or eight days, and after seeing that there was no problem, Guo Shufei began to use it.

After using it, I feel very comfortable and my skin is getting better and better. In order to commend Ziniang and Han Qide for stealing the secret recipe of soap, Concubine Guo Shufei also gave her soap to use.

Zi Niang has also had itching since she used soap, but she has never thought about the itching of herself and Concubine Shuniang on the soap. If Concubine Guo guessed that this soap was poisonous, why wasn't that Chunniang poisoned? Didn't Chun Niang know that there was something wrong with the secret recipe, or was that Chun Niang bought it early on?

If Chun Niang had been bought off early in the morning, wouldn't he and Han Qide have fallen into the trap of Jinluan Palace all of a sudden if they wanted to steal the secret recipe of the Jinluan Palace?

What a terrible scheming it would have been if they had set a trap in the early morning! From the beginning to send soap, and then let Na Chun Niang cooperate with himself, using his own greed to lure himself into their trap step by step.

When Zi Niang thought of this, her heart was in a mess for a while, and she really didn't know what to do. She looked at Concubine Guo Shu, who was still trembling, and felt a little unbearable. I have been following Concubine Guo Shu for almost 20 years. Over the years, she has watched Guo Shufei get rid of so many opponents. She was never afraid, let alone thought of being retaliated against.

With Guo Shufei's status in the hearts of the official family, no one would dare to take revenge on Guo Shufei at all, but now the careless Guo Shufei and herself have fallen into someone else's trap, and the person who set the trap is actually an eleven-year-old child.

The child who was once silent in the Jinluan Palace was so scheming that he unconsciously fell into his way. Is this the legendary retribution?

Ziniang is unwilling, she is still young, now she is only thirty, she has not yet married, she has not found a handsome husband who will cherish her, how can she die like this?

So Zi Niang held the hands of Concubine Guo Shu, who was trembling and said, "Niangniang, now it seems that the person who poisoned him must be the prince Ji who has just been crowned king." Only he can be full of hostility towards us, and the slave family is afraid that he will already know that it was you who poisoned his mother back then. It's because he has been secretly plotting to take revenge on us. ”

Concubine Guo Shufei woke up from the tremor, tears flashed in her beautiful eyes, and she said to Zi Niang: "Zi Niang, tell me quickly, what should we do?" ”

Zi Niang said to Concubine Guo Shu: "If it is really as the slave maid guessed, no matter who we invite to diagnose, the result will definitely be as the royal doctor said: there is no abnormality." That person has already arranged it, otherwise we have been using this soap for the past few months, and we have not noticed anything abnormal, it must be that person who has already bought off the Imperial Medical Department. ”

Zi Niang's words were like a sledgehammer, knocking on Guo Shufei's six gods, she was terrified, she only felt as if she had fallen into a deep pit that could not extricate herself, and the surrounding darkness made her panic all day.

Looking at the helpless Concubine Guo Shu, Zi Niang had no choice but to comfort her softly, and when she couldn't wait for a while, the Imperial Doctor Department came to a face-to-face medical edict, and the person who came claimed to be Doctor Hu's edict. After he diagnosed Guo Shufei, he said that there was nothing abnormal about Shufei Niangniang, and it was estimated that Shufei Niangniang was just tired and needed to recuperate, and he also prescribed a prescription for calming the nerves.

Zi Niang remained silent, sent away the doctor surnamed Hu, and then asked Guo Shufei to boil a calming medicine, wanting Guo Shufei to drink it first and wait for her to rest in peace.

Zi Niang thought about it again and again, and she felt that she must not tell the official family about it, once she told the official family, she had no witnesses, and Chun Niang didn't know where to go. The second is that there is no physical evidence, and no one can prove that this secret recipe came out of the Jinluan Palace.

Since these six princes have been poisoned, there will definitely be a way to detoxify. For the sake of today's plan, the only way to negotiate with the sixth prince is to see what he wants, and there is nothing that cannot be traded in this Daming Palace.

As long as the six princes are willing to put forward conditions, with our Niangniang's status in the hearts of the officials, coupled with the relationship between Wei Xianggong of the Foreign Dynasty, and the relationship between Niangniang and Lieutenant Ximen of the Inner Servant Province has always been good, at this time, Niangniang has a request, he will definitely not refuse.

With such connections and power, what else can't be done? Even if he wants the crown prince as the sixth prince, it is not impossible to talk about it. Zi Niang made up her mind, as long as Niangniang woke up tomorrow and told her plan truthfully, Niangniang would definitely agree.

After a night without words, Ziniang cleaned up her mood and waited for dawn.

In the palace of the Sixteen Princes, after eating breakfast early in the morning, Li Bao was pulling the old Bamu King Li Yi to play in the courtyard.

Ling'er, Hu Sanbao and other stewards and palace people of the Ji Wang's Mansion also gathered around, watching the brothers play and play. From time to time, I was amused by Li Yi's naΓ―ve attitude.

After a while, he was tired, Li Yi stopped chasing Li Bao, he couldn't get up on the ground, and pointed at Li Bao with a milky voice: "Liulang is good or bad, he will bully me, I won't play with you, I want Ling'er to hug." ”

When Ling'er heard this, she hurriedly stretched out her hands and smiled at Li Yitian and said, "Balang, come on, Sister Ling'er will take you to eat candy." ”

As soon as Li Yi heard Ling'er's words, he immediately got up, spread his legs and ran to Ling'er's arms, and a gust of wind rushed over, almost knocking Ling'er down. The kid hugged Ling'er's slender neck with both hands, and then kissed Ling'er on the face.

Li Bao, who watched it, ate a jar of vinegar in his heart, and said in his heart: This kid is a big ghost, and he knows how to take advantage of my woman at such a young age. Wait and see, when your kid grows up and finds a woman, my brother will have to take it back. Hey!

Just as Li Bao was planning to take advantage of the situation in the future, suddenly the palace people outside came to report that Concubine Guo Shu sent someone to invite the king to visit her in the palace.

Li Bao listened to the palace man's return, and sneered in his mouth: "It's time to settle accounts!" ”
