Chapter 15: Instigation (1)
When everyone finished their lunch and Xia Rui was about to return to the East Palace with Yun Xiao and Hua Tianruo, a terrible scream suddenly came from the side hall of the Chengqian Palace.
When Xia Rui heard the sound, he immediately recognized that the person who made the scream was the flower leaning.
He was about to go in to find out, but the queen had already helped the emperor out and asked, "Tianrui, what happened?" Who's screaming? ”
When Xia Rui heard this, he was very embarrassed and didn't know how to answer.
At this moment, Yun Xiao hurriedly walked out, bowed slightly to the emperor and queen, and said calmly: "Father and mother, don't worry, Concubine Hua may have encountered a little trouble, wait for the concubine to go in first and take a look, and then go back and forth!" ”
Her sentence just relieved Xia Rui's embarrassment, and Xia Rui couldn't help but smile at Yun Xiao.
Here, when the emperor heard this, he instructed Yun Xiao: "Then you go quickly!" ”
The queen also urged: "Yes, you go quickly!" ”
"The concubine obeys."
After speaking, Yun Xiao walked quickly to the side hall, and the maid Qianyue she brought also hurriedly followed.
Walking into the side hall, I saw Hua Tianruo covering her face, crying and making trouble in the mirror.
Her face ...... Sores!
This made Yun Xiao think of the poison that Hua Tianruo had given her before, and it happened that they had drunk at lunch just now.
Yun Xiao gave Qianyue a look to Qianyue behind him, and signaled Qianyue to close the door of the side hall first.
Here, if Hua Tianru saw Yun Xiao, he immediately roared like crazy: "The surname Yun, you still dare to come in to see my joke?!" Don't think I don't know, it's a trick you play behind your back, you ruin my appearance, I want you not to die well, Brother Tianrui will definitely make decisions for me! ”
"How do you go and ask your Tianrui brother to call the shots for you?" Yun Xiao said as he walked, "Do you want to invite you with the way you look now?!" ”
"You ......" Hua Tianruo's lungs were about to explode when she heard this, "don't come here, you sinister and cunning woman!" This is the Chengqian Palace, if you dare to spread wild here, you and your Yun family will not end well! ”
Yun Xiao looked at Hua Qianruo calmly, and walked forward step by step:
"Hua Qianruo, now that the emperor and queen are outside, you are shouting so loudly, do you want to call them all in? Are you sure you want to be the way you are? ”
"You ......" Hua Tianruo's face turned pale with anger, but she couldn't say anything to refute.
Here, Yun Xiao had already walked in front of her and grabbed her wrist.
Sicui, the maid standing beside her, originally wanted to come over to stop Yun Xiao, but she was firmly controlled by Qianyue who came over, and she couldn't help at all.
Seeing this, Hua Tianruo wanted to shout but didn't dare to shout, so he could only look at Yun Xiao with a wary face, Yun Xiao looked at Hua Tianruo carefully, and asked:
"Is the poison you have now the same as the poison you poisoned me?"
Hua Tianruo gritted her teeth and replied, "You already know, what else is there to ask?" ”
Yun Xiao frowned and said, "Since it is the same poison, the antidote is in your own place, don't you just take it out and detoxify the poison?" What do you keep screaming about?! ”
But the problem is that she poisoned Yun Xiao, and she could not have expected that she would also be poisoned, so she would not bring the antidote with her at all.
She stared at Yun Xiao with her eyes and replied, "The antidote is in Huafu, you have to leave the palace to get it, I don't have it by my side now, and besides, you let go of me!" ”
When Yun Xiao heard this, she had a headache, she let go of Hua Qianruo, and said very unhappily:
"Do you know how troublesome it is to get out of the palace now? Today is the first day you married into the East Palace, and you caused such a big trouble for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, do you want everyone to come to see our East Palace jokes?! If you make it the way it is now, others can't help you if they want to. ”
Hua Tianruo didn't think that Yun Xiao was coming in to help her at all, she stretched out her hand and pointed at Yun Xiao, and said angrily:
"The surname is Yun, it's you who poisoned me, don't pretend to be a good person here, I'm not so easy to deceive!"
Seeing this, Yun Xiao couldn't help but shake her head, the woman who was carried away by jealousy was really not saved.
She didn't bother to argue with Hua Tianruo anymore, and directly said her solution:
"Hua Qianruo, first of all, I didn't poison you, secondly, I advise you to see the situation in front of you clearly, the antidote you need is in Huafu, even if you want to send your maid out of the palace to help you get the antidote, then you must take a warrant from me and report to the queen before you can go out. This is the palace, not your flower mansion, the palace rules are strict, it's not that you can come if you want to, and you can leave if you want! Now the fastest way is for you to write down the recipe for detoxification, I will send someone to dispense medicine for you, and then go back to the East Palace after you take the detoxification, don't tell me, you don't remember the method of detoxification. ”
"Of course I do!" Hua Tianruo still didn't cooperate, "But, why do I believe that you will definitely help me detoxify?!" What kind of tricks are you playing? ”
"Then I have to go and invite your Tianrui brother in!" With that, Yun Xiao turned around and walked towards the gate quietly.
"Wait a minute......"
Hua Tianruo finally changed her mind, Yun Xiao stopped, turned around, and looked at Hua Tianruo.
Here, Hua Tianruo hesitated for a while, asked the maid to write down the recipe for detoxification, handed it to Yun Xiao, and then said to Yun Xiao:
"I can warn you, don't try to play any tricks, I have Brother Tianrui to protect me, no matter how powerful your Yun family is in the court, he will not let you go!"
"You just wait here......" Yun Xiao took one last look at Hua Qianruo and left the side hall.
--------------------
Yun Xiao came to the Chengqian Palace and told the emperor and the queen that Hua Qian Ruo was just greedy for the snacks of the Chengqian Palace, and had some allergies, and he could go back to the East Palace in the evening after drinking an ordinary medicine, and the emperor and queen did not need to worry.
When the emperor heard this, he put his mind at ease and told Yun Xiao to take care of Hua Qianruo, the queen couldn't see her joy and anger, and she followed what the emperor said.
Yun Xiao glanced at the queen and withdrew from the Chengqian Palace.
Xia Rui, who was waiting outside the Chengqian Palace, saw Yun Xiao come out, and hurriedly asked, "What happened to Concubine Huafang?" ”
"It's not too much of a problem, it's just ...... It's not convenient for her to meet people right now! ”
Xia Ruiyan frowned: "Can't you make it clearer?" ”
Although Yun Xiao suspected the queen, there was no evidence in the end, and if Hua Qian cared so much about her appearance, why did she talk too much in front of Xia Rui?
So, she calmly met Xia Rui's gaze, and said without humility or arrogance:
"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, do you believe in your vision for choosing the Crown Princess? Do you believe that a concubine is a person who keeps her promises? Do you believe that the matter of Concubine Hua must have nothing to do with the concubine? If you believe in these things, then please go back to the East Palace and wait with peace of mind, before dark, the concubine will definitely give you a safe and sound flower concubine. ”
When Xia Rui heard this, he nodded at Yun Xiao: "Okay, I'm waiting for your good news!" ”
Yun Xiao gave him a shallow blessing, took the maid, and left.
--------------------
Everything went smoothly, Yun Xiao had the identity of the crown princess, and soon prepared antidote medicine in the imperial pharmacy.
When returning and passing by the Imperial Garden, Yun Xiao saw the figure of the queen from a distance, and this time, the queen did not bring a maid.
Yun Xiao's mind moved, and ordered Qianyue to go back to the Chengqian Hall with the prepared antidote first, and he quietly hid in the hidden cave of a rockery in the imperial garden, and soon, the queen walked towards this side.
Yun Xiao heard the queen say in the rockery:
"My sister is so interested today, invite me to visit this imperial garden, on weekdays, you always stay in your own palace, and rarely come out."
The person who came with the queen smiled and said, "This imperial garden, my sister loved to come when she was young, but now that she is old, her legs and feet are not good, so she comes less." It's my sister, who is still radiant, and it can be seen that the blessing is much deeper than my sister! ”
Yun Xiao guessed from the tone of this speech that this person should be the queen's sister Jade Concubine.
At this moment, outside the rockery, the queen heard the words and said a little sadly: "My sister has no son, what else do you say about blessings or not?" ”
"Sister...... Concubine Yu hurriedly said, "Don't be sad, you are like this, Chengzhou is watching from the sky, how can you feel at ease?" Your self-pity can only make your relatives and enemies happy! ”
"The enemy is fast? Sister, you mean ......"
"Yes, that's what I'm talking about! Our enemy is now sitting in the position that originally belonged to Chengzhou and laughing! Concubine Yu had a calm face and said categorically, "Sister, I won't tell you anything, since Chengzhou went, my sister and Yu Ze have been grieving, so my sister ordered Yu Ze to secretly investigate this matter, and finally got an important clue recently." ”
The queen immediately asked, "What is the clue?" ”
Concubine Yu said: "The impeachment of Li Shangshu in Chengzhou on the night of the celebration banquet was arranged by Xia Rui, and, after the celebration banquet dispersed, there was a palace maid in the East Palace, who saw with her own eyes that Xia Rui had entered Chengzhou's dormitory and quarreled with Chengzhou. ”
When the queen heard this, she was shocked: "Sister, is what you said true?" Where is that maid now? ”
"Sister, don't worry, listen to my sister say slowly, that palace maid is now in the Huanyi Bureau, and she has been controlled by Yu Ze's subordinates, she can't run, the emperor is now blinded by Xia Rui, we must plan carefully in order to pull Xia Rui from the position of prince in one fell swoop!"
The queen nodded and praised: "My sister is smart and thoughtful, as long as people hold it in our hands, we are not afraid that Xia Rui will quibble in front of the emperor." It's just that...... My sister can ask clearly from the mouth of the palace maid, what did Chengzhou and Xia Rui quarrel about that night? ”
When Concubine Yu heard this, she replied mysteriously: "My sister has already been tried, she said that she was a little far away at the time, and she didn't hear very clearly, but she only heard what the mother concubine and the concubine Rou ...... piecemeal."
