Chapter 347: Musk

Zhao Ling was dealing with business in the study, thinking that some things had been delayed in getting married, and tomorrow was the day to return home, so some urgent matters had to be dealt with today.

The two days of his marriage were extremely normal, but it was supposed to be the happiest and sweetest day, always mixed with some faint sorrow, he didn't think of Su Xuan, as promised, and he didn't seem to have forgotten it.

There was a subordinate outside to report that the lord of Qiwen had come to the house, he put down the pen in his hand, and prepared to go to the flower hall. He suddenly remembered that when Su Xuan was now living in the Chu Palace, he had picked up these Luoying and buried them properly.

At that time, he laughed at her for being too hypocritical, and never understood her kindness and simplicity.

His heart seemed to have been punched hard, it was so sore and painful that he covered his chest and sat down slowly, and before he knew it, tears were raining down.

He didn't cry when Su Xuan died, he didn't cry when he looked at Su Xuan's coffin that day, I don't know why, I remembered such a trivial matter at this time, I was knocked down by a bitterness for no reason, and I cried out loud.

"Brother Ling......" Lord Qiwen muttered, tentatively observing Jiang Xiaoyu's face, afraid that she would be jealous and unhappy.

"Let him be quiet for a while, and we'll come back to him later!" Jiang Xiaoyu said lightly and left side by side with the county lord Qiwen.

Jiang Xiaoyu saw that the county lord Qiwen had been peeking at him, and couldn't help but smile and said, "Don't look at me, I'm not angry, and I'm not unhappy!" Zhao Ling is a person who is very affectionate, but he has behaved too normally these days, which makes me feel uneasy! Put it down, pick it up before you can put it down, only when he remembers the past with Su Xuan one by one, can he really come out of Su Xuan's death and put it down! ”

"Oh!" Qiwen nodded, "I see, so what should we do now?" ”

"The palace must be in a hurry now, panicked, and there must be another hidden story about Concubine Yun's miscarriage, if we are here, Your Majesty and the Queen Mother may not be able to handle housework, let's not go to join in the fun, leave some time to figure out the matter of Concubine Yun's miscarriage first!"

"Well, well!"

The people of the Chu Palace's Mansion could wait for the news in the palace without hurrying, but Zhao Ye had to be anxious.

When the news came, he was drunk in Su Xuan's room, and since Su Xuan was buried, he had been locking himself in it to drink, and several side concubines came with their children to persuade him, but they were also kicked out by him.

The light in the room was very dim, he looked at the bed motionlessly, as if he saw the seriously ill Su Xuan struggling, and there was a cough from her ears, he felt that she deserved to die, and his heart ached.

"If you were willing to say a soft word to me, even if it was a lie, how would we have come to this day?" Zhao Ye smiled, "However, since you are determined to leave, how can you be soft?" ”

"Third prince, something happened in the palace!"

Zhao Ye frowned slightly: "Come in!" ”

"Your Highness, the news just came that something happened in the palace! Yun Guiren was pregnant and was promoted to Concubine Yun, and Niangniang went to congratulate, where she knew that Concubine Yun had a miscarriage at this time, and Niangniang could still explain it clearly! ”

"What! Queen mother! Zhao Ye was shocked and hurriedly got up, "I'll go to the palace now!" ”

"Yes!"

In the palace.

"Your Majesty, can the concubine's child really not be saved?" Qing Yan grabbed Emperor Zhou's hand and asked in tears.

"Don't worry, you're still young, I'll have a lot of children with you in the future!" Emperor Zhou comforted, "Don't think too much, take care of your body with peace of mind!" Come on, take care of the mother! ”

"Yes!"

Emperor Zhou walked out of the bedroom, and the Queen Mother outside asked, "How is Concubine Yun now?" ”

"After all, it's your own flesh and blood, how can you not be sad!" Emperor Zhou said and sat next to the Queen Mother, "This girl has a thin life, and she has a child, and if she says no, she will be gone!" ”

The Queen Mother's face was gloomy and terrible, everyone knew that what she valued most was the blood of the royal family, and when Su Xuan's child was gone, it had already made her sad for a while, not to mention that His Majesty's flesh and blood were gone, both sad and angry.

"Why don't you tell me what's going on? Why did this person have an accident as soon as you came! The Queen Mother looked at the Queen with cold eyes and asked sharply.

"Queen Mother Mingjian, the concubine doesn't know what's going on with this matter!" The queen hurriedly knelt down and said, "Maybe my sister's body is too weak, and the concubine just happened to come at this time!" ”

"What are you doing here?" The Queen Mother asked again.

"My sister has been promoted to the concubine position, and she has a dragon species, and the concubine is too late to be happy, so she came to congratulate!" The queen explained.

"Too late to be happy? The mourning family and you are both women, so you don't have to say this kind of thing in front of the mourning family! The Queen Mother said coldly, "The mourning family asked you, did you let Concubine Yun kneel?" ”

"Yes!" The queen bit her lip and said, "But my sister just knelt for a moment, and the concubine let her get up, and the concubine didn't expect that what would happen later!" ”

"Since you are here to congratulate Concubine Yun, why do you want her to kneel? What did she do that made you want to reprimand her? The Queen Mother asked again.

"Yes...... It was my sister who criticized the relationship between the concubines and the three princes, the three princes were brought up by the concubines, and the concubines were not tightened when they were wronged, but the concubines couldn't see the three princes being criticized, so they were angry for a while and asked my sister to be cautious! The queen thought for a moment and said.

"How can the queen mother reverse black and white?" One of Concubine Yun's maids knelt down and said, "When the master talks to the queen mother, the slaves and maids are all present, and the master just thinks that the relationship between the queen mother and the three princes is good, like a biological mother and son, how can this be the relationship between the mother and the third prince?" Isn't that true? ”

"This ......," the queen's face turned pale, "here and there, you have to interject, don't slap your mouth quickly!" ”

At this time, several imperial doctors who had just consulted Concubine Yun entered, and the imperial doctor led by him knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, the ministers and others have just discussed it, and they feel that the matter of Concubine Yun's miscarriage is strange, this is related to the blood of the royal family, and the matter is very important, so the ministers and others must report to Your Majesty in person!" ”

"Say!" Emperor Zhou said coldly.

"Yesterday, when Concubine Yun was diagnosed and pregnant, the minister told the mother to take care, because the fetal position is unstable, but if it is carefully adjusted, it is not difficult to give birth to the little prince. The imperial doctor clenched his fists and said, "Concubine Yun's slippery fetus is because of musk!" ”

"Musk!" The Queen Mother's face changed greatly, "You mean, someone is deliberately trying to murder the grandson of the mourning family!" ”

"Concubine Yun Niangniang is indeed a ...... that caused a slippery tire because of musk"

"Who did Niangniang meet and eat today?" The Queen Mother glanced at the palace maid and asked coldly.

"Niangniang ate a bowl of bird's nest porridge in the morning, and then her appetite has been bad, so she hasn't eaten again!" The palace maid thought for a while and said, "There are a lot of people I saw today, and many people came to congratulate!" ”

"Come on, arrest all the people who have set foot here today!" The Queen Mother said in a cold voice, "Control this place, this matter must be investigated!" ”

"Murdering the prince is not punishable!" The queen said sharply, "Her Majesty the Queen Mother is in charge of the concubines, this is someone who wants to frame the concubines!" ”

At this time, the imperial physician said: "The old minister has been loyal to the royal family for generations, and today the old minister has to tell the truth even if his head is broken!" His Majesty the Queen Mother is not sensitive to some smells because she has rarely been in the pharmacy, but the ministers are in the pharmacy all day long, so they are very sensitive to the smell of medicine, and when Fang Caichen and others hurriedly came to diagnose and treat Concubine Yun, they found a medicine called Qi Huang, Qi Huang is an ordinary medicinal material, if this medicine is in the pharmacy, it is not a strange thing, but it is a little unusual to appear in the palace of Concubine Yun Niangniang, because it just happens to cover up the smell of musk, And the minister found that the smell of this medicine was emanating from the queen's mother! ”

"Nonsense!" The queen shouted angrily, "What Qi Huang, this palace is unheard of, what is your intention to frame this palace for no reason!" ”

"This is not an illusion of the minister alone, the minister and several others have smelled this smell!" The Queen Mother hugged her fists and said, "The old minister takes the liberty of wanting to smell the sachet worn by the mother!" ”

"Since the queen thinks she is innocent, it is not unreasonable to ask the imperial doctor!" The Queen Mother said lightly, and when her words fell, Mama Qu had already stepped forward and asked the queen to hand over the sachet.

The queen hesitated for a moment, untied the sachet on her waist and handed it to the imperial doctor, several imperial doctors smelled it, and there was indeed no smell of Qihuang in this sachet, so where did the Qihuang they smelled from the queen come from?

The queen sneered at the puzzled expressions of several imperial doctors, and said, "Is there musk? Do you want to check the body of this palace? ”

"Don't dare!" The imperial physician said, "However, the minister dares to vouch with his head, the minister did smell the smell of Qihuang from the queen, if only the minister is like this, it may be that the minister is hallucinating, but it is impossible for all four of us to be like this!" ”

Emperor Zhou's face was dark, and he didn't know where to go, at this time he called Chang Shan to his side and whispered a few words in his ear.

Chang Shan nodded, bowed down and walked to the queen's side, lowered his eyes and said, "Niangniang, the slave has offended!" As he spoke, he took off a golden hairpin from the queen's head and presented it to Emperor Zhou.

Emperor Zhou played with the golden hairpin, and at this time Chang Shan took another knife, Emperor Zhou took the knife, and in the puzzled and surprised eyes of everyone, he split the golden hairpin with a knife.

The hairpin was not solid, it was hollow inside, and some powder floated out.

The Imperial Doctor said loudly: "This is the taste of Qi Huang!" ”

He leaned in and sniffed the powder and said, "There's really musk in here!" ”
