Pu Yangxu still didn't believe the secret information of those palace people before he saw Shen Tingnian.

But there are some words that you can't pretend to have heard after you hear them.

He paced to Shen Tingnian and decided to get straight to the point and ask clearly: "Someone secretly told Chang Xinyuan that he used Hu leeks before. ”

Shen Tingnian looked at him calmly and motioned for him to continue, Pu Yangxu nodded, "Of course I believe in you." ”

"Your Highness got the news from the Department of Medicine." Shen Tingnian had already imagined that she was now the target of the high-rise building, and the neat people below were all staring at her, "Although the concubine doesn't make sense of pharmacology, she also knows that drugs are forbidden during pregnancy, and where things will be used indiscriminately." ”

Pu Yangxu was waiting for this sentence, "What about rhinoceros?" ”

Rhinoceros? Shen Tingnian was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted, she shook her head, "What is that, the concubine doesn't know." ”

Of course, Shen Tingnian knew what Ganmu rhinoceros was, and when she saw the relevant records, she also went to check the historical materials.

Legend has it that during the previous dynasty, there was a doctor who used Ganmu rhino herbs to obtain a son for the noble, and then it was widely spread, calling it the secret art of giving birth to a child, and women who ate rhinoceros grass gave birth to a baby boy.

To this day, there is still this saying among the people, because the source of rhinoceros is still unknown, and no one knows how to plant it, only a small number of traders who make a living by controlling the trade of rhino grass know that this thing does not grow in the territory of the Great Zhou Kingdom.

So when she suddenly heard this thing from Pu Yangxu's mouth, she quickly understood the purpose of the person behind her.

"With your knowledge, if you say you don't know, I don't believe it." Pu Yangxu took a few steps back, no longer forcing her to look at her, he knew too well how to force her to tell the truth, "Come on!" ”

"Is Your Highness's majesty threatening her with the lives of those innocent people around her own woman?"

Shen Tingnian also knew how to handle him too well.

Sure enough, Pu Yangxu's next sentence was blocked.

Xu Xian, who came in and stood by when he heard the sound, waited for a while, looked up hesitantly, but saw Pu Yangxu waving his hand, and then withdrew in confusion.

"You dare to say you didn't eat rhinoceros?" Pu Yangxu turned his head, and his voice sank again, "Why didn't the child know?" ”

This long-overdue question was what he wanted to ask after he returned to the palace, but Shen Tingnian at that time was too thin and sick to make him feel distressed, and he couldn't say anything serious at all.

"I don't know how he got here, but I know how he didn't."

Shen Tingnian neither admitted nor refuted.

But just this sentence, Pu Yangxu was very angry.

"Shen Tingnian! You've let me down so much. ”

He was so angry that he wanted to open his mouth and call someone in again, but what to do with her? Hit? When she thinks of playing the board, where can she stand her fine skin and tender meat...... And those punishments in the palace were vetoed by him almost as soon as he thought about it.

It's been months since this happened, and if it were for another reason, he probably wouldn't have listened to those words.

The person sitting in front of her didn't even have the desire to explain, looking at herself, obviously she was just waiting to see what she would do and how she would do it.

Pu Yangxu felt the uncommon powerlessness again: Shen Tingnian is too - he has nothing to do.

Shen Tingnian watched intently as he turned around in place twice, and finally left with a black face.

Kunning Palace.

After the queen finished eating, the Si Yao Yu family summoned in the side hall, the two have been together for more than ten years, and there are many similarities in temperament.

"Have you seen Mi'er? What do you think. ”

The queen waved her hand and told them to remove the after-dinner refreshments, and only took a sip of tea.

Li Mi'er is the most outstanding prince Ronghua among the newcomers in the East Palace this time.

Yu Siyao was accustomed to her homely tone, and stood respectfully with slightly lowered eyes, "The sky is beautiful, and it is unique." ”

"What about Shen Tingnian?"

"Evenly divided."

The queen was slightly surprised when she heard her answer without thinking, "You have only met Shen Tingnian once, and you have such a high opinion of her." ”

In the queen's opinion, Shen Tingnian is far inferior to Mi'er.

Yu Siyao nodded frankly, "Shen Tingnian does have something extraordinary, the color of the city, and the quality of jade. ”

The queen took a sip of tea in her cup and sighed softly, "It's a pity." ”

Yu Siyao looked up at her, seemingly puzzled, but did not ask.

The queen put down the teacup and explained two sentences: "If you hadn't secretly reported to the palace that someone had given the emperor pills last time, the palace would not have been able to find the prince's head, and he had misused it a lot, but fortunately, Shen Tingnian was a clever person, and he noticed it when he felt a little unwell, and he knew about it earlier than you, but she didn't say it, she only gave the prince barley and glutinous rice for days, and hid the brand......"

The queen didn't like her because of Shen Tingnian's miscarriage, and this incident made her change her opinion, and she was able to keep her head clear when she was favored, and put the prince's body first, which shows that her heart is quite good, and she is really sincere to the prince.

So in the matter of bunching and changing clothes, even if there is no prince to protect her, the queen plans to make a big deal small.

The fact is that Shen Tingnian was bullied and scared, and he couldn't wait to pierce the face of His Royal Highness the Prince, who misused the pill, and scolded him for being a hero, but in the end, reason prevailed, and he secretly resolved it to save his face. It is also because of his own conditioning of his body in the medicinal diet and the pill that pill is offended, otherwise he would not be so keenly aware of the problem.

"If it weren't for her own shallow blessings and ruined her future," it was no secret that Shen Ting had no heirs in his old age, and the queen changed her words and squinted at Yu Siyao, "I called you here to tell you, what is the ...... way"

Yu Siyao had already guessed, and he knew that he had no possibility of refusing, "If Li Ronghua has the opportunity to accept favor, there is naturally a way." ”

"Soon there will be a chance." The queen smiled slightly, Cheng Zhu was in her chest, and she didn't say anything specific, but emphasized, "There is only one request from this palace, let her conceive a child as soon as possible." ”

The matter of the crown prince's heir is already a major matter on the queen's mind, after all, a crown prince with an heir can better calm people's hearts.

###

Although the movement in the room was inaudible outside, the voice of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was heard by Min Yun, who was standing unobtrusively at the base of the wall outside the window.

Seeing her come in, Shen Tingnian still maintained a sitting posture leaning on the back of the chair, and his expression was also very flat.

"Why didn't Niangniang make it clear that the medicine used by the slave maid was a grass rhino." Min Yun looked at her with a complicated face.

"Both medicinal materials are secret medicines, and when you check them, you will pull out the radish and bring out the mud." Shen Tingnian's tone of lowering her volume at this time revealed her true mood.

Min Yun choked like a stone in his throat, and he stopped talking for a long time before he reluctantly said: "The slave's loyalty to the master is an internal matter, and the mother must not go up against the wind next time." ”

The prince wants to take their heads, but it is just a matter of words, and Shen Tingnian wants to protect them, but it is a disobedient move.

"Although our subordinates are afraid of him, we all know that His Highness is not a tyrannical temperament." Min Yun spoke again, and his emotions had passed, "Niangniang should also know that men can't tolerate your disobedience every time, and obedience is also a science." ”

She said bitterly, but Shen Tingnian gradually lost her mind, is it a coincidence? Grass rhinoceros and rhinoceros ...... She remembered the difference between the word between iris and iris in the past.

"It's not a coincidence." Shen Tingnian knocked on the table, a sneer appeared on his lips, "On the night of the second day of the Xia Yuan Festival last year, the palace people on duty in Changxin Garden went to check one by one. ”

Someone eavesdropped on their conversation that night, and heard 'grass rhinoceros' as 'rhino grass', ordinary people who are not sensitive to medicinal materials are easy to hear, no wonder she mentioned the division of medicine just now, Pu Yangxu did not react at all.

She also thought that her temptation was detected by him, and deliberately avoided the topic, it turned out that it was not a secret leaked from the medicine department, but a ghost hidden in Changxin Garden.

Min Yun quickly reacted to her intentions, she was silent for a while, and Fang replied in a low voice, "The slave knows what to do." ”

With that, he hurriedly withdrew.

During these days, the scenery of Changxin Garden is inferior to even Luanyi Palace, so as the palace maid and eunuch of Changxin Garden, no matter how low-key it is, others will look down on you and think of ways to hold you.

Human pride is innate, engraved in the bones, and once it has the opportunity to grow, it is difficult to contain.

Min Yun looked coldly at the five people kneeling in the room at the moment, three palace maids, and two eunuchs, all with pale faces, looking at him innocently in fear.

"That's the way it is, someone betrayed the lord for glory, and found out on the heads of the five of you, since they don't recognize it." Min Yun got up, took out a paper bag in front of them, and poured the powder into the teapot, "This pot of tea, whether you share it together, or someone is willing to stand up and drink it all by yourself, but it's up to you to choose." ”

This method is too ruthless, and I would rather be buried with four innocent lives than let go of the person who was lucky.

The three palace maids didn't hold back directly, and cried out in an emotional breakdown, the two eunuchs were a little older, shaking like a sieve, sweating like rain, surprisingly the same thing was that they didn't identify each other, and they didn't complain about themselves, after all, they were slaves who could enter Changxinyuan from under the noses of His Royal Highness the Prince, and it wasn't so ugly.

Min Yun waited for a while, but no one stood up, she sighed, slowly took out five teacups, filled them with tea, and brought them to them.

"Drink." Min Yun's voice was cold and desolating, and there was not the slightest emotion for people to guess whether they would show mercy.

In the matter of life and death, no one can truly be fearless, but four of the five raised their glasses to their lips and drank with their eyes closed.

The only palace maid who didn't drink finally let go, and the cup that smashed on the ground broke apart.

She turned her head to see that the four people around her were all lying on the ground, but their chests were clearly still rising and falling, and the cup was not arsenic poison.

"You-" She gasped in horror, it was too late to turn back, the veil covering her mouth and nose didn't know what kind of medicine it was smoked, it smelled very good, and there was not much pain even in the last moment of consciousness.

###

Min Yun washed the veil and entered the courtyard, Mama Liu just went out of the inner room and went down the steps, the palace lamps hanging on the eaves on both sides were swaying slightly, and the two glanced at each other, both of them saw each other's complicated feelings, but they couldn't say anything.

One of the front and rear feet went out to be on duty, and the other went into the house to rest, and the night of the vigil did not close his eyes, and the man who slept on his back also turned over all night.

On the second day, the well-informed Xiao Xizi hurriedly entered the inner courtyard from outside, saw the two of them, and hurriedly beckoned, except for Yue Zhu, who was waiting for Shen Tingnian to get up, was not there, and the three of them met urgently to discuss countermeasures.

"Your Highness didn't return to the Qianqiu Palace?" Mama Liu asked this.

Xiao Xizi shook his head with a bitter face, "Your Highness went back to the Qianqiu Palace last night, but later I heard that the queen mother was unwell, so he went to Kunning Palace." ”

He paused, and his voice was also full of frustration, "In the morning, Huangmen saw him going out from the Chunchi Pavilion. ”
