Chapter 49: Three Birds with One Stone

"Isn't the Spring Lady also very idle?" Yin Lingyuan asked rhetorically.

"The Queen Mother loves her sister and orders that except for the rest of the concubines in Yinghua Palace, they are not allowed to plant privately", Chuncao sneered slightly, "My sister is naturally free." ”

Seeing that the atmosphere was turbulent, the Holland beauty hurriedly played a round: "Sister Chun, sit down, come and serve tea." ”

As the spring grass approached, Yin Lingyuan's nose seemed to smell a vague fragrance, she took a deep breath and sighed: "It's so fragrant, I don't know what kind of incense powder Spring Lady uses?" ”

Chuncao's face changed slightly, and he quickly stopped, and said casually: "It's just a case sent by the Internal Affairs Office, why don't you see His Royal Highness the Third Prince?" I brought a lot of snacks, and I don't know if the third prince likes to eat them. ”

"My sister has a heart", He Jieyu took it, "Yu'er loves it very much." ”

"Mother." As he was talking, a crisp child's voice came from outside, and the third prince Qi Xuanyu was wearing a goose yellow satin robe, and the snow-white piping made him even more cute.

"Xiao Yu'er is much taller than the first time I saw him last year", Yin Lingyuan smiled and beckoned to him.

"Yu Niangniang is good", Xiao Yu'er's eyes bent into a crescent moon, and she hurriedly saluted, and then threw herself into Yin Lingkite's arms, and the momentum was very strong, knocking Yin Lingyuan back unconsciously.

"Oops", she smiled and straightened the child, "Why haven't I seen so much strength in a few days, I have really become a little man." ”

"Don't be rude to Yu Niangniang", He Jieyu told her son, "I study with the second prince every day, but I haven't learned your royal brother's calmness at all." ”

Xiao Yu'er jumped up and down excitedly, and said unconvinced: "The second emperor brother likes me." ”

"What", Yin Lingyuan was curious, "The second prince is very good to you?" ”

"Yes!" Xiao Yu'er nodded vigorously, "Second brother, eat anything delicious with me, and last time he gave me a piece of good ink ingot, even the master praised it, Yu Niangniang waited, Yu'er showed it to you." With that, he ran away like a gust of wind.

He Jieyu shook her head helplessly: "Recently, I have been energetic and naughty. ”

"His Royal Highness the Third Prince is lively and healthy, Sister He should be happy", Chuncao joked, "In a few months, my sister's baby will land, and the third prince will have one more brother as a companion." ”

"Amitabha, don't be so naughty, it's better to be a daughter, well-behaved and intimate." As soon as He Jieyu's words fell, Xiao Yu'er rushed over with a small half of the ink ingot.

"Mother! Yu Niangniang! Look! The child ran and yelled.

The three of them were all smiling and watching, but Yin Lingyuan found that something was wrong, after her cultivation, her five senses improved, and she saw from a distance that the little prince's eyes were red and his face was unconsciously distorted. As he got closer and closer, his momentum did not diminish at all, and he actually crashed straight towards the Holland beauty.

The Holmerians hadn't noticed anything unusual, and they stood up to greet their son, and such a ferocious impulse was no joke if it hit her in the stomach or didn't catch anyone.

said that it was too late, Yin Lingyuan pulled over Holland Meiren, and stood in her position, and then felt a strong force crashing into herself, the impact force made her stand unstable at all, and she fell backwards with her disorganized steps, and at the critical moment, she mobilized her spiritual power to buffer, and finally didn't fall too painfully.

"What's going on? Come on! He Jieyu saw Yin Lingyuan fall, and hurriedly stepped forward to help, "Sister is fine, why is this kid so reckless." ”

Yin Lingyuan didn't care about explaining, looked at the little prince, and saw that his face was flushed, and his mouth was snorting and panting, although he knocked people down, it seemed that the strength around his body was accumulated, and there was nowhere to vent.

"Sister, something is wrong with Xiao Yu'er", Yin Lingyuan was anxious, "Go and call the imperial doctor." ”

Only then did He Jieyu notice that her son was abnormal, and her first reaction was to step forward to check, but was pulled by Yin Lingyuan: "Don't go over, you guys, go see the little prince." ”

The palace man who was ordered stepped forward, and as soon as he approached the little prince, he was smashed by the ink ingot in his hand.

"Ahh Xiao Yu'er roared in pain, the sound of the ink ingots falling to the ground was like a switch, and he began to push the people around him, desperately smashing the teacup and kicking the chair, as if he was crazy.

The palace people didn't dare to hurt him, and they couldn't get close for a while.

Chuncao hid far away as soon as possible, looking at the scene in front of her in horror.

"Yu'er! Yu'er, what's wrong with you? The Holland beauty was so anxious that she wanted to step forward several times, but Yin Lingyuan was pulled by her.

She was desperately thinking about what spells could be used at this time, and Yu Ze's voice suddenly jumped out of her mind: "Heart Clearing Mantra." ”

Yin Ling's kite was empowered, and immediately used his spiritual power, silently reciting the heart-clearing mantra in his mouth, and the mantra surrounded Xiao Yu'er's body with the spiritual power, and his red eyes finally gradually turned black, and then he seemed to have been drained of all his strength, and fell to the ground softly.

"Yu'er!" He Jieyu immediately rushed to the little prince's side to check, and saw that he was breathing steadily, so she shouted at the top of her voice: "Pass the imperial doctor, quickly pass the imperial doctor!" ”

Ruixiang Palace side hall.

The emperor, Yin Lingkite, He Jieyu, and Chuncao were there, as well as the concubines who rushed over when they heard the movement, the little prince was lying quietly on the bed, and Imperial Doctor Zhang was taking the pulse, and the room was silent.

"Your Excellency, are you still there?" Yin Lingyuan asked in his mind.

Yu Ze's figure appeared, and he couldn't help but say, and used his spiritual power to walk around Yin Lingyuan's meridians, taking away the faint discomfort after the impact on her chest.

"Thank you, Your Excellency." Yin Lingyuan quietly unfolded a smile.

"Don't rush forward in such a hurry next time." Yu Ze had a cold face.

"I'm in a hurry," Yin Lingyuan said, "not next time." In fact, at that time, if she didn't rush up, it would be He Jieyu who was hit.

How could Yu Ze not know what she was thinking, and still said in a cold voice: "What is it to teach you to cultivate aura?" I don't know how to use it at a critical time, but I still have to block it with my body? ”

"Oh", Yin Lingyuan obediently admitted his mistake, "I know." ”

Yu Ze was satisfied, and Yin Lingyuan asked again: "What's wrong with Xiao Yu'er, is it poisoning again?" ”

"No", Yu Ze was just about to explain, and the imperial doctor over there had already finished diagnosing the pulse and put it back on the little prince's wrist.

"How?" Qi Ye asked.

"Your Majesty", Imperial Physician Zhang bowed, "Wechen has diagnosed that His Royal Highness has a large number of forsythia in his body. ”

"What's that? Poison? He Jieyu couldn't help but ask.

"No," replied Imperial Physician Zhang, "this is a herb that can be refreshed in appropriate dosage, but His Royal Highness seems to have been exposed to it for a long time, causing a large accumulation of this medicine, causing mania." ”

"Yu'er has been really active and energetic recently", He Jieyu heard that it was not poison and let go of half of her heart, "It turns out that this is the reason." ”

Yin Lingyuan felt that it was not so simple, and asked: "In addition to being as manic as today, what harm is there?" ”

"There won't be any big problems in the short term, but if the days go by for ......a long time," Imperial Doctor Zhang paused, and put it another way: "People's spirit and spirit are limited, if they are consumed too much in advance, then sooner or later the oil will run out and the lamp will dry up." ”

"What!" He Jieyu stood up suddenly, and then her eyes snapped, and she almost fainted.

"He'er." Qi Ye hurriedly helped him and turned to Imperial Doctor Zhang: "Maybe save?" ”

"The emperor can rest assured", Imperial Physician Zhang hurriedly said, "Fortunately, it was discovered early, as long as His Royal Highness no longer ingests medicine, Weichen will prescribe another prescription and recuperate for a while." ”

"Then ask the Imperial Doctor to prescribe a prescription quickly." Xian Concubine said.

"The emperor, the emperor", He Jieyu burst into tears, clutching Qi Ye's arm, "Someone wants to harm Yu'er, and someone wants to harm Yu'er, Your Majesty, ......"

"You are pregnant, don't be sad", Qi Ye helped He Jieyu to the couch and comforted her gently, "Xu is Yu'er doesn't pay attention to it every day, and she comes into contact with this herb, think about it, what's wrong with what Yu'er eats on weekdays?" ”

"I didn't ...... No", He Jieyu shook her head, "Yu'er eats all the concubines themselves, how could such a thing happen?" ”

As soon as she finished speaking, her eyes inadvertently fell on the box of pastries brought by Chuncao, and she was shocked: "Pastries! It's a pastry! He Jieyu shouted loudly, "The emperor knows that Lady Chun has come to see her concubines every day, and every time she comes, she brings a box of pastries!" Yu'er loves to eat. ”

Chuncao never expected that this fire would burn on herself, and in the face of Qi Ye's sharp eyes, she knelt down with a plop: "Your Majesty, the concubines are all kind, there is absolutely no problem!" ”

"Kind?" He Jieyu almost lost her mind, "If you are kind, you will not dress up and show up in my palace, and you will not meet the emperor eight times out of ten, I see that you are clearly ......"

"Sister!" Yin Lingyuan was afraid that He Jieyu would say something arrogant under the excitement, and was about to speak, but Concubine Xian spoke up one step ahead of her: "No matter what, it is important to save the little prince first." ”

As he spoke, he turned to Qi Ye again: "According to the concubine, it is better to replace all the daily food and clothing of the little prince, so that the possibility of coming into contact with the forsythia sustena can be eliminated." Of course, whether it is pastries or things that the little prince uses every day, they need to be carefully investigated to see what went wrong. ”

"What Concubine Xian said is reasonable", Qi Ye nodded, and looked at Concubine Xian approvingly: "You are the master of Ruixiang Palace, you have to work hard to take care of it." ”

"The concubine is awake, the emperor is relieved." The concubine calmly responded.

Qi Ye asked Yin Lingyuan with concern, knowing that she was knocked down by the little prince in order to save He Jieyu: "How are you doing?" If you feel unwell, you should also call a doctor for diagnosis. ”

"The concubine is fine." Yin Lingyuan said, "I'm just worried about Xiao Yu'er." ”

Qi Ye nodded, and finally turned to Chuncao, his voice getting colder: "You go back to your palace, and you are not allowed to come out until the matter is clear." ”

Chuncao couldn't kneel anymore and fell to the ground all of a sudden.

The emperor attaches great importance to it, and the people below naturally dare not slack off, and the grandmothers, palace maids, and eunuchs around the little prince are guarded, and they are carefully interrogated one by one, and Chuncao's dim sum is the most important object of exploration.

The concubines of the palace came to the door one after another, some sincerely visited, some wanted to inquire about the news, and Ruixiang Palace was full of people for a while.

But after checking for several days, there was no result, and all that was found out were some trivial things about the palace people eating wine and gambling money, and no one could touch the forsythia in habitual leaves, and the box sent by Chuncao was indeed an ordinary snack.

In the afternoon, the concubine set tea in the imperial garden, and the concubines of the palace went to accompany her, so as not to talk about the most lively things in the palace recently.

"I heard that Yu Jieyu was on the spot when the third prince was ill, and she has been with He Jieyu these days, I don't know what happened to the third highness?" Concubine Yi took a sip of tea and asked with concern.

"The Imperial Doctor said that there is no big problem," Yin Lingyuan said, "just recuperate for a few days." ”

"That's really lucky", Concubine Rong chuckled, "It's just that it's been boiling for more than half a month, and nothing has been found, so if it goes on like this, I'm afraid that the palace will not be peaceful." ”

"The emperor licks calves deeply, and there are not many heirs under his knees, so he naturally attaches more importance to it", the concubine's expression was a little gloomy, presumably thinking of her dead prince.

Concubine Rong pretended not to see it, and said to herself: "The concubine recently heard another interesting story, that Jiangnan Wei family sent a boy, insisting that it was royal blood, if it is true, wouldn't this heir have achieved one more?" ”

"In the second year of Chengqi, the emperor went out on patrol, and he did come to the Wei family", Concubine Yi said, "The age of that child is not bad." ”

"The children outside, they don't know what to do, is it possible that they are really raised by the palace as a prince?" Concubine Sun said disdainfully, "Concubine Rong really loves to laugh." ”

"What is not clear!" The concubine reprimanded, "The emperor has ordered a detailed investigation, if it is really royal blood, there is no reason to stay outside the palace, and it will be taken back." ”

Concubine Sun's face turned red, and she quickly got up to apologize: "The concubine lost her words." ”

"Hmph." Concubine Rong sneered and glanced at her, but did not speak.

In Ruixiang Palace, He Jieyu was very sure: "Dim sum, there must be something wrong with the dim sum, there is no problem with what she sent that day, it doesn't mean that there is no problem with the previous one, go to her palace to check carefully." ”

The little prince has checked everything that can be checked around him, and the daily meals are all in Ruixiang Palace, which is the same as He Jieyu, and sometimes he is called by the emperor to eat, so there can be no problem.

Seeing that the rumors of the folk bloodline were rampant, the emperor put most of his mind on investigating the child's life experience, and the matter of the third prince had no result, He Jieyu was in a hurry, and had to investigate Chuncao again.

After Chuncao was promoted to a lady, she lived in Liqing Palace, and the eunuchs probed on the emperor's orders, so she didn't dare to stop them, so she had to let them pick them up.

Liqing Palace was originally Li Jieyu's residence, but after being beaten into the cold palace, there was only a lady Li with a broken leg, who limped to the door to look.

"Master, there's a commotion outside, let's go back." The only palace maid beside her persuaded.

Lady Li raised the corner of her lips and sneered: "It's rare for me to see such a bustle, and it can be regarded as adding a touch of popularity to Liqing Palace." ”

"Such a large-scale search of the palace, I'm afraid that the spring lady will be bad", the palace maid trembled, "Don't worry about us." ”

"Hehe, a person like me, what's so scary." Lady Li has been holding on to the door frame and watching coldly, seeing them coming violently, she walked away complacently, and finally glanced at the spring lady who was starless and sat on the ground, and closed the door.

They didn't find out that Chuncao had drugged the dim sum, but after a search of the palace, they found something else.

- Fascination incense.

The strange fragrance that Yin Lingyuan faintly smelled that day was the fascinated fragrance sprayed on the spring grass.

"No wonder, she is so determined to win when she meets the emperor when she comes back", He Jieyu simply hated her teeth, "Using such means to compete for favor is worthy of being a ......" She originally wanted to say that she was worthy of being a subordinate, but when she thought of herself, she didn't know how to describe it for a while.

"People are different, and Sister He is naturally different from her", Xian Concubine was empathetic and spoke out to appease.

"Did the emperor say what to do?" Yin Lingyuan asked.

"Demoted to a woman, and also called moving back to the North Fifth Institute." Xian Concubine said, "Actually, when it comes to the little prince, it is also a loss to her, although the spring grass uses the incense of love, but she doesn't dare to be too bold, what she sprinkles on her body is diluted, which will only make people excited but not enough to be emotional." The imperial doctor said that if it weren't for this incense to stimulate the medicinal properties in Yu'er's body, we would not have found it so far. ”

The other two thought about it and were silent for a while.

It was Concubine Xian who broke the silence: "It's just that in this way, our clues are broken again, Sister He thinks about it, but is there anything to ignore?" Or who did you have a grudge with recently? ”

He Jieyu twisted her eyebrows and pondered, Chuncao didn't work here, she really couldn't imagine the possibility of the side.

"If it is a grudge", Yin Lingyuan suddenly spoke, "Sister He is pregnant, which will definitely cause jealousy, and the one who is most unwilling to see the birth of a child is probably ......"

She didn't say the name, and the other two people understoodβ€”Concubine Yi.

As the only person who has a prince, he naturally doesn't want to see other princes in the palace, because they are all considered concubines, on an equal footing, and they will become the opponents of the second prince to inherit the unification in the future.

"She? It shouldn't be okay", He Jieyu hesitated, "Concubine Yi has always been lenient, and the day before yesterday, Jin Meiren came to visit, so I was relieved." ”

"Sister, do you remember what happened last time?" Yin Lingyuan deliberately reminded her, "Li Jieyu ......" She only said last time that she suspected that there was someone behind Li Jieyu, but she didn't say that it was Concubine Yi, and when she mentioned it at this time, He Jieyu was shocked: "What do you mean, it was Concubine Yi last time?" ”

Yin Lingyuan nodded slowly, and looked at the concubine on the side.

"Sister, don't worry, Concubine Xian is dedicated to me, you don't have to hide it from her." said, told Li Jieyu about the poisoning of Xiao Yu'er last time.

"In this way", Concubine Xian listened, "Concubine Yi is indeed suspicious." She paused, didn't know what to remember, and suddenly said, "You said that Jinmei was here, but what did you bring or say?" ”

"I only brought some supplements, and I showed them to the imperial doctor one by one, which is a good thing, as for what I said...... "He Jieyu tried to recall, "It was roughly said that Concubine Yi Niangniang cared about Yu'er, and the second prince was also worried, and said that he had Fang Haomo last time, and asked Yu'er how she used it, and ......"

"Ink!" Before He Jieyu's words fell, Yin Lingyuan and Concubine Xian almost shouted in unison.

The two looked at each other, and Yin Lingyuan said, "Why did she specifically mention ink?" Sister He, what about ink, have you tested it? ”

He Jieyu shook her head, Xiao Yu'er went crazy that day, the ink ingot was broken on the spot, and it was cleaned up by the palace people, and there was no scum left.

"Could it be that the herb juice is mixed into the ink, Yu'er uses it to write every day, and over time, the medicinal properties enter the body along the breath ......" Xian Concubine guessed.

He Jieyu couldn't believe her ears, and said in shock: "Last time, too, the poison was mixed with the smeared medicinal wine. ”

"That's it," Concubine Xian said, "There is one and there are two, and she wants to harm the little prince's heart not for a day or two." ”

"Actually", Yin Lingyuan said, "Sister Xian didn't know the scene at that time, Xiao Yu'er was crazy, if she hit Sister He directly, it would be difficult to keep the fetus in her womb safe." ”

"Yes, yes! If it hadn't been for Sister Yu's quick reaction that day and pulled me, Xiao Yu'er would have knocked me down, then this kid ......" He Jieyu simply shuddered and didn't dare to think about it anymore.

"If there is no accident of spring grass", Yin Lingyuan continued, "Xiao Yu'er will not go crazy so quickly, the toxins will slowly accumulate in his body, and finally when he can't bear it, he will have a more powerful attack." My sister was a month old at that time, and if she was hit, it would be a corpse and two lives, and Xiao Yu'er would also run out of oil after going crazy because of too much time, as the doctor said, her trick can be said to kill three birds with one stone, intending to take the lives of Sister He's mother and son. ”
