Chapter Eighty-Four: The Vortex
Chapter Eighty-Four: The Vortex
The eight-flavor soup cooked by Queen Ouyang Yu herself sounds extremely glorious, but in fact, how many people don't even look at it after receiving it? How many people in this harem know the meaning of Gongsun Yuting, and how many people resent Ouyang Yu, blaming her for not blooming and occupying power.
Other women who are envious and jealous of her on weekdays are not to mention, even the concubine Zhen who is very favored in the harem is also the same, not only accepted the gift box with a disgusted face, but also tested for poison in front of Gong E, although these Gong E's people are not from Ouyang Yu Palace, but if it is spread out, it is not very good-looking, those who know will think that she is doing this too much, and those who don't know think that Concubine Zhen has a shadow, and they are all wary of the queen's methods.
As soon as the lunch hour passed, the palace ladies who gave the festival gifts all replied, and the palace lords received the festival gifts, and thanked the queen for her care and reward, but these palace ladies who were loyal to their hearts on weekdays suffered from these palace ladies who were loyal to their hearts on weekdays, but at this moment they had to rack their brains to reply for those little masters, whether they opened their mouths or not, they must not ignore the queen's intentions, as the palace lady of the etiquette department, if they can't even learn a little flattery, wouldn't they lose the face of the etiquette department?
After they all finished their lives and left, Ouyang Yu ordered all the people in Shui Weixuan to spend the festival in the main hall together, and when everyone arrived at the main hall, they found that Qianyu was not there, there was no one in the room, and they didn't see it in the courtyard.
"Don't worry, my sister is still young, she hasn't gone far, it's better to look around"
Yan Feng came in from the outside with a frosty face, he sent a row of small footprints on the ground outside the door, and followed the footsteps of those Gong E's just now and didn't know where to go, maybe he was right, although Qianyu is usually smart, but after all, he is still a child, and it is cold and snowy outside, I am afraid that he will not be able to go far.
Ouyang Yu immediately took a few Gong E's out to find someone, and when she went out, the snow outside was densely covered with footprints, and she couldn't see Qianyu's footprints clearly, just when Ouyang Yu didn't know which direction to look for, a beauty walked slowly not far away, followed by a few Gong E, only to see that the beauty lotus step was light, the slender waist was hidden in the cloak, the delicate appearance was very young, the pink little face was not powdered, but it was also charming, I saw her walking towards Shui Weixuan, but Ouyang Yu had never seen this person.
"My sister Yujing has seen the queen mother, may the mother be blessed and healthy"
After the beauty approached, she gave up Ouyang Yu and hurriedly made a big gift, Ouyang Yu then remembered, it turned out that the beauty in front of her was the little Gong'e that Gongsun Yuting had taken a fancy to a few days ago, she was really young and beautiful, and her appearance was really exciting.
"Gongsun Yuting has been pampering her for a few days, why do you remember me showing off today?"
Ouyang Yu saw that she also understood the rules, since she had done the salute, she couldn't let the family squat all the time, how distressed would it be if Gongsun Yuting knew? Although Ouyang Yu felt uncomfortable in her heart, she didn't mean to make it difficult for her.
"Get up, it's cold on the ground, so as not to hurt your body, this palace has something to do now, I can't chat with my sister, sister, please go back!"
Ouyang Yu motioned to the palace e's beside her to find Qianyu first, her eyelashes that seemed to be unintentionally raised fell into Yujing's eyes, she shook the snowflakes on her body, her eyes turned lightly, watching those palace e's quietly leave, and a picture she saw just now appeared in her mind, the little boy entered the harem of the concubine Niangniang, could it be that it was the child in the queen's mother's palace.
"Sister, but she's looking for someone?"
Yujing said that Ouyang Yu's heart was broken, she also secretly looked at Ouyang Yu, as if she had something on her mind, Ouyang Yu was a little surprised when she said it, and her face was a little unsightly, but she didn't show it, so she had to nod.
Yujing: Is there a sister who can help?
Ouyang Yu: No need, this is my Shui Weixuan's business, don't worry about my sister, this palace will be lost first.
Ouyang Yuyu finished saying that she left first, Yujing looked at her departing back, the corners of her mouth rose, she smiled, and said in her heart, "This queen is not majestic, but she is a competent mother."
"When you go to the Yuchu Palace to find the king, you will say...... I will wait for him in the Pavilion of the Moon and the Song, and if the king is not there, I will go to him."
Yujing closed her eyes, looked at the direction of Xia Fangxuan, and hurriedly instructed Gong E beside her, as soon as Gong E left, she breathed a sigh of relief, relieved her, and felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, these days I am finally used to calling Gong E around me, and it is rare to have this opportunity today.
"Let's go to the Moon Song Pavilion now"
Yujing smiled at Gong E behind her, as soon as she turned around, she just saw Yan Feng standing outside the door of Shui Weixuan, he was looking at himself by the door, Yujing's eyes rolled, and he made a grimace at him, Yan Feng raised his head and stared at Yujing's smiling face, Yujing embarrassedly put away his smile, Yan Feng let down all his guard, and watched her squirm all the way away.
Qianyu followed Gong E, who gave the festival gift, all the way into Xia Fangxuan, but he got lost, the huge Xia Fangxuan is no better than Shui Weixuan, and even the shadows of those Gong E can't be found after entering, if no one leads the way, I'm afraid I won't be able to turn out in a day, not to mention that Qianyu people have small steps, those Gong E's have long since left, but she is still circling in the courtyards, and her frozen red face is cute.
After Qianyu turned to a corridor, he saw two Gong'e holding things in front of him, and hurriedly rushed up to follow them, the two Gong'e turned seven corners all the way east, and finally came to a remote courtyard, Qianyu didn't know what this place was, and quietly hid behind the pillar on the side.
"You said such a good soup, Niangniang was willing to give it to her to eat, it seems that Niangniang still loves her"
The two Gong E's chatted while walking, and they didn't notice that there was a child following behind them.
"You don't know this, I'll tell you honestly, there are good things in this soup" One of the palace ladies sold a pass and smiled proudly.
"What's good? Is it ......? The other Gong E was puzzled, thought for a while, and then suddenly realized, and looked at the plate in his hand in surprise.
"Well, it's good to know, but don't shout" The bold Gong'e covered the cowardly Gong'e's mouth and glared at her complainingly.
"But......" The timid Gong'e was hesitant, and wanted to say something, but was frightened by a look.
"Anyway, this soup came from somewhere else, and our mother originally planned to pour it out, but I heard that the princess was clamoring to drink it, so I sent it."
"If people know, won't the two of us suffer?"
"Afraid of what? There is a mother to support us, besides, this is what the mother means, this princess Fuyu is not likable, even if it is gone, the king will not find out"
The two of them have come to a side room while talking, the surroundings are very quiet, and there is no palace to move, but a few plum blossoms outside the house are blooming brilliantly, Qianyu has been following them along the road, carefully hiding behind the pillar, the conversation between the two is also heard clearly, she is still young and does not understand the meaning of the words of the two at all, but she feels that the two of them are strange and followed.
The two Gong E's entered the house for a while and came out, Qianyu found that the two of them were even stranger than just now, the timid Gong E's face was pale, Qianyu looked at the room after the doors and windows were closed, and he didn't know who lived inside? What did these two Gong'e do?
As soon as the two palace ladies left, Qianyu hurriedly walked out from behind the pillar, ran to the door in small steps, put her ears on the door to listen to the movement inside, and couldn't hear any sound inside, she lay on the door suspiciously, her little face was full of curiosity, her pink lips were pursed, and she just wanted to leave, but she heard a few sounds of things breaking inside, she was so frightened that she took a few steps back, looked around, and saw no one in the huge courtyard at all.
Qianyu's small body pushed open the door and cautiously entered the house, the light in the room was a little dim, but she could still see the situation in the house, only to see a little girl lying on the table, her soft body lying on her stomach, she couldn't see her appearance clearly, the ground was broken bowls and soup, she knew that it was eight-flavor soup, made by the queen mother in the morning, she was watching from the sidelines.
"What's wrong with you? Sister ......" Qianyu was a little scared, her voice was trembling, she had the courage to push the girl, but she didn't move, she was even more scared, the first time she faced such a situation, she didn't know what to do.
"Hmm...... ......The little girl lying on the table let out a faint groan, crystal clear tears flowed from the corners of her eyes, and a trace of blood gushed out from the corners of her mouth, as if she heard Qianyu's voice, she moved her fingers hard, pointed out the door, and motioned for Qianyu to leave.
"Don't be afraid, I'll go to the queen mother immediately, the queen mother will definitely have a way" Qianyu tried hard to suppress the fear in her heart, she saw the girl's painful expression, and the blood at the corner of her mouth, knowing that she was poisoned, why is this blood so dazzling? The heart also hurts, if the blood is on his body, he must not think so, but ...... Why do you become more and more afraid of others when it comes to others?
Qianyu retreated to the door but turned back, she suddenly remembered that she had a pill on her body, which was given to her by the queen mother, and the queen mother often said that it was a life-saving thing, and she could save her life when she was poisoned, but there was only one pill...... If she eats it, what if the queen mother asks about it in the future?
Qianyu pinched the bag in his hand and hesitated, both afraid that the sister in front of him would die, and afraid that the queen mother would blame herself, if the person who was poisoned now was herself, the queen mother would definitely try her best to save herself, in the queen mother's heart, the child is the most important, so ...... The queen mother will not be angry.
Qianyu shoved the pill in her hand into the girl's mouth, pinched her lips, and asked her to swallow it.
