Chapter 22: She wasn't like this before
The emperor frowned, and looked puzzled: "It's strange to say, the emperor ordered someone to check, but found nothing." Later, the imperial doctor found a clue in the peony red dress you were wearing. ”
After a long time, I realized that I had changed my clothes.
The queen continued: "Poinsettia, mandala, white cuckoo, this is the first time that this palace has heard of such poison. Crush the dried petals and cores into a fine powder and sprinkle them on your clothes. The doctor said that it was the poison from your cuff that fell into the food, and you ate it. Moreover, it should be sucked in quite a bit. That's why it's poisoned. This poisonous person has a poisonous mind! ”
Li Jiujiu showed a frightened expression: "If the wind is strong today and the poison on the clothes is blown away, wouldn't there be no proof of death?" Who is trying to harm me? ”
The queen smiled lovingly: "If it is really blown away, it will not be poisoned." You can rest assured, the doctors in the Tai Hospital are highly skilled and will be fine. ”
Li Jiujiu nodded slightly.
After chatting for a while, a maid walked in with a bowl of hot medicine.
"It's time for the medicine." The queen said.
Bi Luo hurriedly took the bowl of medicine and wanted to feed it for a long time.
"Wait!" It was Concubine De's voice.
A hint of displeasure flashed in the emperor's eyes, but it quickly disappeared. This hint of displeasure just happened to let Li Jiujiu see.
"Queen Mother, she has been afraid of heat for a long time. Biluo, put the medicine on the table first, and drink it later. Concubine De came over and saluted.
"It's okay, as long as it's not cold." The queen said.
At this moment, a eunuch walked in and made a big salute: "The slave greets the queen's mother, the concubine De, and the princess of Chu." ”
"Get up. But does the emperor have orders? The queen asked.
This eunuch is from the emperor's side.
"Queen Mother, the emperor invites you to go to the Heart Cultivation Palace." The eunuch said.
"Okay." The queen stood up, told Concubine De and Lijiujiu a few words, and left.
Concubine De's face changed suddenly: "Yan An, secretly poured the medicine, and ordered someone to boil another bowl." ”
Lijiu and Bi Luo looked at Concubine De suspiciously.
Concubine De held the hand that had been away for a long time: "Don't talk about this matter to the outside world." ”
Li Jiujiu nodded: "Don't worry, concubine, your daughter-in-law understands." The mother is worried about ......"
I didn't say it for a long time.
"It is indispensable to guard against people, especially in the palace." Concubine De said earnestly.
The Temple of Nourishing the Heart.
Because of last night's incident, the emperor's face was very unsightly.
"Last night, in addition to the various palaces, there were also ministers and family members of the DPRK and China. Now, the entire capital knows that Princess Chu was poisoned! It was supposed to be a happy event, but it turned out like this! ”
The queen hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, please let the concubines go and check." The concubine will definitely find out the murderer! ”
The emperor waved his hand, but glared at Yun Chuhan fiercely: "You still don't want to meddle in this matter." ”
The queen understood what the emperor meant: "Your Majesty, although Princess Chu was poisoned in the palace, the person who poisoned her was not in the palace. King Chu, don't you say? ”
"Father, mother, and son-in-law will find out who poisoned them!" Yun Chuhan also knew in his heart that the poison came from clothes, of course, it couldn't be done by people in the palace.
"Take care of your Chu Palace, don't let me worry about it! If something goes wrong, don't open the mansion outside, move back to the palace to live! The emperor was very angry.
The queen's heart "chuckled" for a moment.
Yun Chuhan hurriedly knelt down: "Father and emperor rest assured, sons and ministers ......"
Before Yun Chuhan finished speaking, he was interrupted by the queen: "Your Majesty, after all, this was done by the people of the Chu Palace. If the king of Chu really finds out something, he can't bear to ......"
The emperor didn't continue, but both the emperor and Yun Chuhan understood what she meant.
"Your queen mother is right. You go back first, I'll send someone to investigate. ”
"Father......" Somehow, Yun Chuhan suddenly became anxious.
The emperor waved his hand impatiently and asked him to step back.
Yun Chuhan had no choice but to stand up, salute, and leave.
The reason why Yun Chuhan was suddenly anxious was because he remembered Limoxuan.
The peony red dress that Li Jiujiu wore was passed by Li Moxuan's hands, stayed in the Spring Courtyard for one night, and was sent to the Winter Snow Courtyard the next day.
Could it be her?
In fact, the peony red dress was specially made by Yun Chuhan for Li Moxuan. The best of the five dresses. It is the silk of the foreign tribute rewarded by the emperor, and the most famous embroidery girl in the capital. Because in Yun Chuhan's heart, there is only the peony red dress that Li Moxuan matches. She is the princess in his heart.
It's just that he didn't expect that he didn't stay from Moxuan. Yun Chuhan felt that she really understood the rules, and liked her more and more.
Along the way, Yun Chuhan and Li Jiujiu did not speak.
Leaning on the corner of the carriage for a long time, his face was pale, his lips were bloodless, and he looked very weak. Her eyes were vacant, and she didn't look at Yun Chuhan.
Yun Chuhan glanced at her from time to time, but didn't speak after all.
Back at the Chu Palace, Yun Chuhan got out of the carriage and ran to the Chunlai Courtyard without looking back.
"Miss, the prince is really ruthless." There were resentful words in my ears.
"Biluo, remember, it doesn't matter if others are not good to us. Let's be kind to ourselves. "I didn't look at the back of Yun Chuhan leaving for a long time.
Back to the Winter Snow Courtyard, I lay on the bed for a long time. She was weak and her chest was congested.
When people are uncomfortable, they can't help but think of some sad things.
She misses her parents for a long time, and she really hopes it's just a dream! When she woke up, she was still the same person, and she heard the sound of a frying spoon clinking a pot in the kitchen in her room.
However, this is not a dream, and I can't help but cry for a long time. I don't know if I cried for too long, but I fell asleep.
Biluo stood outside the house, her face was full of tears, and the porridge in her hand had cooled.
Originally, Biluo cooked the porridge and brought it over, but I heard the long-suppressed crying.
If Madame had been alive, Mademoiselle would not have lived such a life. Bi Luo was sad and helpless, covered her mouth and cried.
Her long-lost mother, Qi Min, died when she was very young, and it is said that she died of illness. It didn't take long for Chen Qingping to change from a concubine to the prime minister's wife.
There was no movement in the room, and Biluo quickly wiped away her tears and walked in. Seeing that she had fallen asleep for a long time, she gently tucked the quilt.
Let's talk about Yun Chuhan, when he came to the Chunlai Courtyard, Li Moxuan was watering the flowers in the yard.
"The prince is back", seeing Yun Chuhan, Li Moxuan happily put down the things in his hand and saluted, "Concubine De Niangniang's health is okay?" ”
Yun Chuhan pretended to be indifferent, and said with a smile: "The mother concubine is very good. Why don't you ask the king why he didn't return overnight? ”
Li Moxuan smiled and took Yun Chuhan's arm: "On Concubine De's birthday, Xu Shiyi happily asked the emperor to stay in the palace for one night. ”
The two of them walked towards the house.
Yun Chuhan said slowly: "If there is no emergency, the prince who has opened the mansion is not allowed to stay in the palace. The mother concubine will not do anything that violates the palace rules for the sake of her birthday. ”
Yun Chuhan felt that Li Moxuan's hand stiffened slightly.
Li Moxuan hurriedly said coquettishly: "The concubine just feels that she can't personally congratulate her mother on her birthday and do her filial piety, and I feel very sorry in my heart." ”
Yun Chuhan sat down, and his easy-going appearance just now became a little serious.
"The prince seems to be unhappy, what's wrong?" Li Moxuan let go of her hand and sat down beside Yun Chuhan, her palms were already in a cold sweat.
"Last night, the princess was poisoned." Yun Chuhan looked at Li Moxuan and slowly spit out a few words.
Li Moxuan immediately pretended to be surprised: "Poisoning? What's going on? Didn't my sister enter the palace with the prince? ”
The development of things is unexpected, why is it not Concubine De but Jiujiu? Besides, she wasn't poisoned?
Could it be that the mother did this? No, poisoning the palace is not trivial, and the mother should not take this risk. Perhaps, there are others who want to be away for a long time.
Thinking like this, there was no nervousness in her heart.
But then Yun Chuhan's words made Li Moxuan even more nervous.
"The princess has poison hidden in her clothes. That's the one, you pick the rest of the peony red dress. Therefore, the person who poisoned him was in the palace. ”
Li Moxuan was stunned at first, but she quickly reacted.
"Lord Wang, how is my sister?"
"She's fine." Yun Chuhan said.
"Lord, since there is poison hidden in the clothes. All the people in the palace who have handled or had access to the clothes are suspicious. Moreover, this dress was left out overnight in the spring courtyard. Then all the people who come to the courtyard in the spring are suspicious. ”
Li Moxuan stood up and knelt in front of Yun Chuhan: "Please investigate this matter thoroughly and punish the person who poisoned him!" In addition, please temporarily ban everyone in the Spring Courtyard, including the concubines. Because the concubine is also suspicious. ”
Yun Chuhan looked at Li Moxuan, and his heart softened. How could it be Xuan'er, she has always been very kind, it is impossible to do such a thing.
Yun Chuhan stretched out his hand: "Xuan'er, this king has no suspicion of you. It's just that the father asked the emperor to investigate the matter thoroughly. ”
Li Moxuan stretched out his hand, took Yun Chuhan's hand and stood up.
Yun Chuhan pulled her to sit down and hugged her into his arms.
"Lord Wang, the concubine is just worried, if you can't find the murderer for a day, your sister will be in danger for one more day." Li Moxuan pretended to be worried.
"She's pushing you down, and you're still so worried about her. With a sister like you, she should be content. Yun Chuhan said softly.
Li Moxuan raised her head, and tears appeared in her eyes: "The prince should go and see my sister." She's pitiful enough, and now she's poisoned, and she's lonely. ”
Yun Chuhan suddenly remembered that on the carriage, there was a long empty and dim look. However, with a sense of stubbornness and tenacity, she never said a word to him from beginning to end. She wasn't like that before.
Despite this, Yun Chuhan still didn't like her. It can only be said that there is a little more pity and a little less disgust.
"Well, this king is not going. There's nothing wrong with her. Yun Chuhan said.
"Lord, sister, she is the princess after all. If Concubine De knows, she will hate me even more. Li Moxuan looked aggrieved.
"Okay, this king is going to take a look. I'll be back in a moment. Yun Chuhan gently pinched Mo Xuan's face, his eyes full of doting.
