"Sister doesn't know, my personal palace maid Liuying and the palace maid Xiaohui in the queen's palace were originally fellow countrymen, and they have a good relationship on weekdays. I also heard the palace maid Liu Ying relay. She said that Xiaohui, the palace maid of Luanfeng Palace, once mentioned to her that the queen mother was pregnant before and her body was relatively weak, so she needed to raise a fetus and protect the fetus. That Gongliang Er'er was close to the queen mother on weekdays, and I don't know when she heard about it, and even recommended a mountain doctor to the queen mother to raise a baby for the queen mother. "Wan Concubine depicts it vividly, as if she has heard it herself.

"The mountain doctor that my sister said, but the wonderful hand doctor Bian Miao Chunbian who lived in the palace?" Concubine Dan deliberately pretended not to know and asked Concubine Wan carefully.

"It's him!" Concubine Wan's eyebrows fluttered when she spoke, "But the strange thing is that since the divine doctor diagnosed the pulse of the queen mother and prescribed a prescription for the fetus, the queen mother's body has become weaker and more serious day by day. Xiaohui was going to find Gongliang Zhu'er and the mountain doctor Bian Miaochun to theorize, but my sister didn't know that the queen mother was a soft-hearted person who had always been compassionate. The queen mother trusted Gongliang and didn't take Bian Miaochun's prescription to heart. But over time, the queen mother had a hidden illness, coughed non-stop, and couldn't sleep all night. But when Bian Miaochun saw it, he still said that the queen's body was fine, and continued to prescribe the prescription, added a little dose, and let the fire girl in the imperial dining room, that is, Yu'er, who originally served Concubine Ying in Yixin Garden, boil the medicine and eat it. Unexpectedly, the queen's body was not regulated, but hurt her vitality. When I heard that the queen mother had a difficult birth, Gongliang Zhu'er also proposed in every possible way to let the mountain doctor Bian Miaochun come to deliver the queen's mother. ”

"So, the queen has met a quack?!" Concubine Dan asked in surprise, and deliberately raised her voice so that Mama Xing, who was listening not far away, could hear it more clearly.

"I don't dare to say this, it's just that there are too many coincidences in it to explain. To say that the queen's serious illness has nothing to do with the mountain doctor introduced by Gongliang, anyway, I don't believe it. It's just that the emperor and the queen mother trust Gongliang too much, so no one has ever suspected exposing this matter. I also heard from Liuying from Xiaohui, the palace maid in Luanfeng Palace, otherwise, like everyone, I would have been kept in the dark by Gongliang. ”

The Empress Dowager He Lanyan's henchman Mama Xing remembered the conversations between Concubine Dan and Concubine Wan one by one, turned around and hurried back to the Sunny Palace, and the first thing she did when she stepped into the palace gate was to explain the matter to the Empress Dowager He Lanyan.

"Oh?! And such a thing?! Didn't the doctor say that the emperor sent someone to invite him into the palace? How did you become introduced by Gongliang'er? The Queen Mother was shocked and puzzled.

Mama Xing replied respectfully: "This specific situation, the slave and maid are not very clear. The slave maid only got it from listening to the conversation between Concubine Dan and Concubine Wan when she was passing by the Imperial Garden. The slave maid felt that if she wanted to find out about this matter and seek justice for the queen's mother, she had to start with Concubine Dan and Concubine Wan to inquire about the matter. Or directly call the palace maid Xiaohui of Luanfeng Palace and the personal palace maid Liuying of Wan Concubine, and you will know as soon as you ask. ”

The Empress Dowager Helan Yan turned her eyes sharply, and commanded: "Spread the will of the mourning family, and summon Concubine Dan, Wan Concubine, the palace maid Liuying and the palace maid Xiaohui of Luanfeng Palace to meet you." ”

"Yes! Slave and maid, let's do it! Mama Xing agreed and withdrew from the hall.

However, after a long time, Mama Xing brought Concubine Dan, Concubine Wan, the palace maid Liuying and the palace maid Xiaohui of Luanfeng Palace one by one.

For the sake of insurance, the Queen Mother He Lanyan also deliberately interspersed several people with questioning to confirm whether what they said was true.

The Queen Mother He Lanyan first asked Concubine Dan and Concubine Wan.

"Concubine Dan and Concubine Wan, the mourning family heard that the two of you were in the imperial garden, secretly talking about the reason for the queen's death, but is there such a thing?"

The summons of the Queen Mother He Lanyan was exactly what Concubine Dan and Concubine Wan wanted. The two had already discussed the countermeasures, and had their own set of rhetoric to deal with the Queen Mother's questioning.

"If you go back to the queen mother, the concubines don't dare to talk about the queen's funeral." Concubine Dan replied with an innocent face.

"But the mourning family heard Mama Xing say that Mama Xing heard the two of you talking about the reason why the queen was seriously ill in the imperial garden. The two of you refuse to admit it, could it be that Mama Xing lied to the mourning family and deliberately fabricated it?! "The Queen Mother He Lanyan has a fierce face, and she is not angry and arrogant.

Concubine Dan and Concubine Wan pretended to be frightened.

Concubine Wan changed her tone respectfully: "The concubine really didn't mean to mention the matter of the queen's mother. Please also ask the Queen Mother for forgiveness. ”

Empress Dowager He Lanyan slapped the table and shouted: "Bold! Dare to talk about such a taboo thing in the palace as the queen's funeral behind his back! Concubine Dan and Concubine Wan, what should you two be guilty of! ”

Concubine Dan and Concubine Wan both fell to their knees.

Concubine Wan hurriedly opened her mouth to defend: "The Queen Mother forgives her sins!" The queen mother is kind and kind, and no one in the harem is unrespectful. The queen was mourned, and the two concubines were also saddened and heartbroken. It was only because the concubine's palace maid Liuying inadvertently heard something about the reason why the queen was seriously ill before from the mouth of the palace maid Xiaohui of Luanfeng Palace, and told the concubine, and the concubine felt that the queen's death was seriously ill, and it seemed strange, so she couldn't help but chat with Concubine Dan, but she didn't want to be heard by Mama Xing. Please also ask the Queen Mother to forgive the two unintentional sins of the two concubines! ”

"You say, the queen is seriously ill and funeral, something is wrong?" Queen Mother He Lanyan followed Concubine Wan's words and asked.

Concubine Wan deliberately paused and hesitated, "The concubine also heard from the palace maid Liuying. Listening to Xiaohui, the palace maid of Luanfeng Palace, revealed that when the queen mother was raising a baby in the palace with peace of mind, Gongliang often went to Luanfeng Palace to visit the queen. Later, I also found a doctor from outside the palace who thought that Dr. Shanye would enter the palace to recuperate for the queen's mother. But somehow, the mountain doctor prescribed a few prescriptions, and after the queen mother took it, not only did not recover, but became even weaker. The concubine also heard that it was the former palace maid Yu'er who had decocted the nourishing decoction for the queen's mother in the imperial dining room at that time. On the day of the queen's birth, Gongliang Jie'er also took the initiative to mention to the emperor that he wanted the mountain doctor to give birth to the queen's mother. The reason for the sudden death of the queen mother, it is difficult not to connect the above doubts. ”

The Empress Dowager He Lanyan listened carefully, stared at her eyebrows and asked, "What you said is true?!" ”

"There is no lie!" Concubine Wan swore on the spot.

"Good!" The Empress Dowager instructed Mama Xing beside her, "Spread the word of the mourning family, and order the palace maids Liuying and Xiaohui to come in and ask!" ”

Mama Xing agreed and brought the palace maid Liuying and Xiaohui in.

Liuying and Xiaohui fell to their knees in fear, not knowing why the Queen Mother summoned her two for questioning.

"Do you two know why you came to ask questions from the mourning family?" The Queen Mother asked the palace maids Liuying and Xiaohui who knelt on the ground with a cold face.

Liuying and Xiaohui shook their heads and replied in unison: "The slaves don't know. ”
