In the past few days, the news of my pregnancy has spread throughout the palace, and people have continued to come to say goodbye, except for one person, Huanqin.

I didn't expect her to come, because she was the saddest person at the moment.

Zhiqing has also been very busy these days, counting the rewards sent by King Xia and the queen, and muttering whether she wants to vacate an extra room as a warehouse. This girl really thinks of us as a vault.

Xia Ning discussed with Huan Qing in the study every day, looking at him, as if he was trapped by something, every time he saw him, he had a sad face.

I tried to smooth the wrinkles on his forehead, but he grabbed it with one hand, "Don't make a fuss." ”

"I'm making a fuss somewhere, I just don't want to see you so tired."

Seeing that he had received so many rewards in just a few days, Xia Ning proposed to go to the queen's palace to thank him.

I was puzzled and asked him why he only went to the queen's palace and did not go to King Xia's, but Xia Ning said that his father was in the queen's palace every day, and when he went to the queen, he naturally saw his father.

The sun was just right today, Zhiqing helped me freshen up, and Xia Ning and I got on the sedan chair and walked towards the queen's palace.

Sure enough, as Xia Ning said, King Xia was listening to the music in the queen's palace at the moment, and when he saw us coming, he asked the musicians who sang the music to retreat.

"Attend the father, see the mother." Xia Ning and I bowed a big bow.

"Get up and give me a seat."

King Xia seemed to be in high spirits, and kept asking me how I had eaten and slept recently, and if I had any discomfort, and I replied that everything was fine.

The queen was silent, only listening to our pleasantries.

After a while, Biluo brought the incense burner, it was so fragrant, and the whole room was filled with a faint fragrance. The queen said that King Xia should use spices every day to calm the nerves, this spice is made of peculiar materials, and the preparation method is also peculiar, which is specially made by Mr. Yin and Yang to find the master of the world.

It's Mr. Yin and Yang again, and it seems that the queen has a lot to do with him.

After sitting in the room for a long time, smelling the fragrance, I was dizzy, Xia Ning saw my discomfort, so he led me to get up and leave.

I got out of the house and took a few big breaths of air, which made me feel more comfortable.

Did I sit for a long time, or was there something wrong with the incense?

"I remember that when you first entered the Summer Palace, you lived here." Xia Ning took me by the hand and said unhurriedly.

"Yes, I didn't know anything at that time, and I didn't dare to move around casually, and I was stuffy in the house all day, and it was almost moldy."

Xia Ning suddenly stopped, turned around and asked, "So, you haven't seen the garden here?" ”

"Garden? Is there a garden here? ”

"Let's go, this king will take you to see it today!" With that, he led me to the back of the dormitory.

Xia Ning said that this garden was built by his father for the queen, and it is full of flowers all year round, even in the cold winter, the palace people put the flowers collected from all over the world here, and every day the withered flowers will be replaced and put on fresh flowers. Be in it all year round, like spring all year round.

It seems that King Xia also loves this queen very much, and such extravagant behavior is not a small expense.

"It's here!"

"Oh my God, it's so beautiful! Only separated by a wall, it is so full of spring! I couldn't help but praise it.

Immersed in it, it is like being in a beautiful picture, with a hundred flowers blooming and a hundred birds singing, compared with the outside, this is a paradise.

"Although this king does not like this queen's mother, her garden is quite beautiful." Xia Ning said.

"Of course it's beautiful." I quipped.

Well? What is that?

Next to the rockery under the trees, behind a cluster of red flowers, there are a few inconspicuous bunches of green leaves, which seem a little out of place with this garden.

I took a closer look, picked a leaf, smelled it, is it a nightflower?

Xia Ning also walked over, "What's wrong?" ”

"It's Nightflower!"

Xia Ning took the leaf in my hand and asked, "What is Nightflower?" ”

"I have heard the master say before that there is a strange flower in this world, regardless of spring, summer, autumn and winter, cold and hot flashes, it will bloom at midnight every day, and it will only bloom for one hour, and after an hour, the stamens will wilt, the petals will fall, and the flowers will fall invisibly. This is the night flower. ”

"It's strange, such a flower is really unheard of."

"Of course, ordinary people don't know that nightflowers only grow in inaccessible places, not to mention that the usefulness of nightflowers is not appreciated, and of course they are not known by the world."

"If you don't be appreciated, what are you doing with picking such flowers!"

"Nightshade is not so much a flower as a medicine."

"Medicine?"

"Yes, medicine! The stamen of the nightflower can make a medicine, and it is ...... Poison! ”

When Xia Ning heard this, he clenched his fists, and the leaves were also crumpled by him. A serious look, as if a beast was in the midst of rage.

"Could it be that she asked her father to build this garden for her just to cover up the nightflowers she had planted? Could it be that the decoction she gave me contained poison made from this nightflower? ”

Xia Ning gritted his teeth, with a devastating momentum, if I hadn't stopped him, I was afraid that he would have razed this garden to the ground.

"Brother Ning, you calm down first, we have no evidence, even if you destroy this garden, it won't help."

"Huh! I almost lost my mind...... This garden must be kept, I want to see what tricks she wants! ”

At midnight, Xia Ning ordered Feng Shu to sneak into the queen's palace to check, and when Feng Shu returned, he said that Bi Luo took the box to the garden and picked the stamens in a cluster of flowers. After Biluo left, Feng Shu stepped forward to take a look and found that some stamens were scattered on the ground, so he picked up the stamens with the soil.

Xia Ning looked at the soil in the cloth bag, which was mixed with yellow stamens, "This is the night flower?" ”

"Brother Ning, I haven't seen the real night flower either, I've only seen it in the book."

"Whether it's a night flower or not, you'll know if you check it!"

Xia Ning ordered Fengshu to take Hua Rui out of the palace and check with Master Wang of Xichenggen, he said that although Master Wang was a traveling doctor, he must have seen night sunflower when he traveled all over the world.

However, if it is really a night flower, what does the queen plant it for? This is also what Xia Ning is puzzled about.

Poison from its stamens? When did the queen have such a unique skill? Or did she order someone to make poison in the palace? So who is this drug maker?

What does she do making drugs? Could it be that the poison she gave Xia Ning was Yehua? But now that Xia Ning has not drunk her decoction, what does she want the stamen of this nightflower to do?

I remember that the master used to say that the poison of night sunflower is very peculiar, and there is no other use for it except to make poison. What exactly does she want to do?

Unexpectedly, in this seemingly calm Xia Palace, there are so many unknown secrets behind it, and every step is like being on the edge of the abyss. It seems that in the future, we still can't be careless.

I touched my belly, kid, no matter what happens, you have to be fine.
