Concubine Chen dragged her weak body and knelt at the door of the Qinzheng Palace, and by the time Xiao Luo came back with a spring breeze, she was already about to be roasted by the scorching sun.

Seeing Xiao Luo's figure, Concubine Chen held back the tears in the corners of her eyes, trembled and shouted, and the emperor immediately fainted on the ground.

It took a long time for the imperial doctor to wake up Concubine Chen.

There is no problem with Meishuang's sour plum soup, but it is not fake that Concubine Chen vomited and diarrhea after drinking it, you look at the pale and haggard appearance of the night, it looks strange and pitiful, it is not to torture herself like this in order to invite pets.

For a while, the concubines in the palace, whether they were close to or far from Concubine Chen, all gathered in Concubine Chen's palace, some accompanied Concubine Chen to shed tears, some whispered, Xiao Luo sat in front of Concubine Chen's bed, watching Concubine Chen shed tears vigorously.

Even the Empress Dowager Ming was extremely angry when she heard that Concubine Chen drank the sour plum soup sent by others and almost died, thinking that the concubines in the palace were unscrupulous in order to invite favors, "When did these unclean things happen in the palace?" ”

But when Aunt Yu said that it was sent by Meishuang, the Empress Dowager Ming relieved herself and changed her words and said, "If this thing falls on someone else, mourning the family letter, she, it is impossible." ”

The emperor in front of him didn't say a word except for his gloomy face, and when he heard that the Queen Mother was also protecting Meishuang, everyone understood that the case in front of him was afraid that it would become a headless case.

Concubine Chen's body is weak and her heart is like a mirror, if this incident passes in vain this way, not only will she tell everyone the truth, saying that she is deliberately inviting pets so she takes risks, but it will also affect her status in the harem, and at that time, her prestige as a concubine will be gone.

"The emperor wants to be the master of the concubines, if this matter is not investigated, I am afraid that one day the concubines will die and they will not know how they died."

Concubine Chen cried and cried to die or live, "Since the sour plum soup was given to Miss Lin by the emperor, the concubines didn't dare to take people's love." It's just that she just started to say that she doesn't want her sour plum soup, how can she harm her concubine like this? ”

Concubine Chen is used to flying in the palace, and her mouth is also first-class, Xiao Luo has long been clear, and now seeing that she directly burned the flames of war to Mei Shuang, he was suddenly annoyed, and said frozenly, "That sour plum soup was originally from Miss Lin's hand, how could it be that I rewarded her?" ”

“”

At this time, not only Concubine Chen was stunned, but even the concubines in the palace were surprised, that sour plum soup was not a new product of the palace kitchen?

"So, it's also a good idea that she's willing to give you, how can it hurt you?" Xiao Luo got up, "I still have official business, about this matter, you better take care of your body first, and then talk about it later." ”

Everyone was dumbfounded when they watched the emperor stride away, and the concubines who originally wanted to come to see the good show saw that there was no climactic drama, so they dispersed, leaving only a few concubines who were good friends with Concubine Chen to look at each other.

One of them whispered what everyone was thinking, "Is this Miss Lin the previous waste plum cream?" ”

The previous Mei Shuang, disgusted by the emperor, I didn't hear that she could speak Donglai language, and what else would she do to make sour plum soup, but now it's all reversed, and even her temperament has changed fundamentally, yesterday Concubine Chen asked her for sour plum soup, if it was the previous temperament, she would not give Concubine Chen a star and a half, I didn't expect to be so generous yesterday.

Concubine Chen was so angry that her chest straightened up, "Whether it is the previous abolition is not so important, the important thing is that she has to pay for what she did!" ”

- Lin Tian'er has been gone for a few days and there is no news, Meishuang is planning how to add more material to Lin Tian'er's career in the back garden, after all, this is also related to her own income, but she heard the maid Cuixin come to report that the Queen Mother asked her to come over.

Since Cuixin kept a heart to prove Meishuang's innocence, Meishuang has a good impression of Cuixin, a little girl who originally looked a little wooden. Without hesitation, in front of several maids, Meishuang stuffed ten taels of silver into her.

Cui Xin happily accepted the silver and thanked him again and again.

This time I went to the Queen Mother's palace, Meishuang didn't bring sour plum soup, and the sour plum soup in the palace has been supplied to various palaces one after another, so she doesn't need to do it.

When she came to the palace of the Empress Dowager Ming with the food box, the Empress Dowager Ming was closing her eyes to recuperate, the maid next to her was gently fanning, and Aunt Yu was gently pinching her legs.

Hearing Meishuang coming in, Aunt Yu hurriedly "shh

"The Queen Mother always feels that the food is tasteless these days, and the body is tired and panicked, the imperial doctor only said that the weather is hot, and a lot of ice has been added to the palace" Aunt Yu said strangely after speaking, "Why haven't you come over these days?" ”

"The Queen Mother didn't summon me, where do you dare to disturb casually?" Mei Shuang smiled, "The weather has been hot these days, I came to make a few side dishes this time, you can give the Queen Mother some to eat, maybe it will be appetizing." ”

Aunt Yu looked at the side dishes in the food box, and promised again and again, "Okay", and then arranged for Meishuang to rest outside.

Mei Shuang listened to the movement inside while reading the book, and the Empress Dowager Ming fell asleep a little deeply, and there was no movement for a long time.

In the past few days, Xiao Luo has come to stay overnight, and it is inevitable that he will go off the rails, and the upside down will affect his sleep, and Mei Shuang can't help but be sleepy, holding the book and yawning.

When Aunt Yu came out of the back room, Meishuang had already fallen asleep at the table, revealing a side face, and her long eyelashes cast a faint fan-like shadow under her eyes, looking delicate and sleepy.

Aunt Yu shook her head and smiled, and was about to step forward to call Meishuang, but was stopped by the Empress Dowager Ming, who motioned for Aunt Yu to bring a shawl.

Empress Dowager Ming then came over in person and gently draped the shawl on Mei Shuang's back, Mei Shuang's body trembled, raised her head in a daze, and a kind face in front of her was looking at her gently.

She rubbed her sleepy eyes, looked confused, stared at the person in front of her for a while, and muttered in a daze, "Mother"

Empress Dowager Ming was stunned, and suddenly her heart trembled slightly, an indescribable sourness permeated her heart, she tried her best to suppress the obscurity, and said softly, "Awake?" ”

Aunt Yu hurriedly stepped forward, patted Meishuang's back gently, and called softly, "Miss Shuang, wake up"

Mei Shuang came to her senses at this time, blinked her eyes vigorously, where was her mother, she quickly got up after a burst of loss in her heart, "Queen Mother, why are you up?" ”

Fang Cai's unconscious sentence of "mother" called the Empress Dowager Ming's heart, she turned away to hide the love in her eyes, and when she spoke, her face had recovered from the previous flatness, and her tone was soft, "The mourning family has already gotten up, and I just ate the refreshing side dishes you brought, and the mourning family has a great appetite, and I don't feel hot."

Hearing the praise of the Empress Dowager Ming, Mei Shuang smiled embarrassedly, "Summer is like this, too cold and too hot makes people uncomfortable, hot can't eat, and cold bad stomach, so, those red and spicy ones can increase appetite and remove body moisture." ”

Empress Dowager Ming nodded, looking at Mei Shuang, a trace of love flashed in her eyes, "The mourning family is fortunate to have you by your side, making the mourning family happy"

Mei Shuang hurriedly waved her hand when she heard this, "What do you say, the Queen Mother, if you say too much, you should break my blessings, and I don't have any other skills, so I can only do what I can to make the Queen Mother happy, as long as the Queen Mother doesn't dislike it."

This child, it doesn't seem to have any heart, and he speaks with a straight temper, remembering that Concubine Chen didn't let go of the complaint in the morning, she was faintly worried, this child is simple-minded, and he may not be able to command the harem in the future.

After talking to Meishuang about some homely things, she let Meishuang go.

Watching the fluttering figure Mei Shuang leave, the Empress Dowager Ming sighed and said to Aunt Yu beside her, "Jinyu, looking at the child's appearance without any burden of thought, I know that Concubine Chen's affairs have not affected her. ”

Aunt Yu hurriedly responded, "That's the emperor's protection." ”

Empress Dowager Ming nodded, "What do you think?" ”

"The slave maid also heard about it, and now this matter is spreading in the palace, and most of them say that Meishuang and the fox are competing for favor, so Concubine Chen was almost killed by her. Although it is a cloud of people, compared to the status of Concubine Chen, Miss Frost is now without a position, and the shape is always unfavorable to her; Moreover, the more favored this is, the higher the attention it receives, and it is inevitable that someone will fall into the well. It's not nice to say, sometimes, spitting stars can drown people. If this matter is really not clear, it will still be unclear to Miss Shuang when she seals it in the future."

Empress Dowager Ming was helpless, "Who said it wasn't, although it was a fact that the emperor favored Shuang'er, he didn't say that he wanted to give her a position, and the mourning family couldn't ignore the emperor making decisions for him." And Shuang'er, this kid is also stubborn, on the surface, he looks like he gets along well with the emperor, but in his heart he also rejects his position, and he always wants to leave the palace"

Aunt Yu also felt incredible, for someone else, she felt that it was hypocritical, and the emperor was like this, and she was rightfully favored, not to mention giving you the position of a queen, it would not be an exaggeration to open her mouth to ask for a position, but this Miss Shuang is too unserious to take her position. In the palace, there is no position, and the emperor has fresh energy, and it is nothing if he falls out of favor.

Especially when she heard that Mei Shuang openly said that she was not the queen when she was entertaining the envoy of a special foreign country, it was enough to show that she really had no interest in the queen, and now she was also enviable at ease.

Aunt Yu suddenly said, "Queen Mother, why do you think that the emperor and Miss Shuang have their own thoughts?" ”

Empress Dowager Ming was stunned, "What do you say?" ”

"The slave dared to say a few words, it was miserable enough when Miss Frost was abolished, and now it can be proved that Miss Frost is indeed innocent, and the emperor does not seem to have a special name for her; In addition, the person the emperor has always liked is Chu Xiruo, and Miss Ruoshuang is arrogant, so she must not be willing to force it. Just look at her now, although she has no estrangement from the emperor, she has always refused to ask the emperor for half a point. ”

After hearing this, the Empress Dowager Ming was thoughtful, and after thinking about it, she had to admit that what Aunt Yu said was reasonable.

"So what now? Just let her stay so nameless and unemployed? The mourning family still feels sorry for her. Empress Dowager Ming was a little discouraged.
