Chapter 165: Conspiracy
Mu Ningxuan let Feng'er retreat first, and Han Shuyi's matter could only be put to rest.
The next day, the Queen Mother passed Mu Ningxuan to the past, although the Queen Mother was not the biological mother of the official family, but after all, the official family lost its first child, and the concubine died in the palace, and the Queen Mother always had to ask.
"Sons and daughters, see the queen mother." Mu Ningxuan saluted the Queen Mother.
Today, the Queen Mother is standing next to Princess Qingming, Princess Qingming is still in the boudoir, and the Queen Mother wants to keep her by her side, so she did not marry her early.
However, Princess Qingming is also old, and she must leave the cabinet if she stays for another year at most.
Princess Qingming was obviously in a mood today, and she didn't say hello to Mu Ningxuan.
Mu Ningxuan and the Queen Mother talked for a long time, but Princess Qingming didn't speak.
"Queen Mother, what's wrong with Sister Ming today?" Mu Ningxuan asked.
The Queen Mother glanced at Princess Qingming and said, "Your sister Ming doesn't want to stay in the palace to accompany the mourning family." ”
Mu Ningxuan was slightly surprised, does Princess Qingming have someone she likes?
"Queen Mother, what are you talking nonsense?" Princess Qingming squirmed.
The Queen Mother smiled: "The queen is not an outsider, and your marriage must also be taught to her to handle it, what can't be said." ”
"So, the queen mother agreed?" Princess Qingming finally had a smile on her face.
The Queen Mother picked up the tea bowl, took a sip, and said slowly: "Wait for the mourning family to find out." ”
"What else do you want to investigate, there is an old mother in his family." Princess Qingming said urgently.
The Queen Mother did not speak, and continued to take a sip of tea.
"Queen Mother, who is Sister Ming's favorite son?" Mu Ningxuan said curiously.
The Queen Mother turned her head and said to Mu Ningxuan: "Your sister Ming has fallen in love with Wang Xianggong, who has just been promoted by the official family. ”
"Prince Wang?" As far as Mu Ningxuan knows, this Wang Xianggong is a strange man, although he is from a slightly cold background, but he is smart and handsome, he was promoted to Jinshi at the age of sixteen, but at the age of twenty-three, he was promoted to Xianggong by the official family, he is a real talent, and the official family takes a fancy to him.
"Erchen has heard of this prince, he is indeed a talent, and I heard that he has not yet married a wife and had children." Mu Ningxuan said.
Princess Qingming answered: "I said that he didn't marry a wife and have children, and the queen mother didn't believe it, so she had to send someone to investigate." ”
Mu Ningxuan said: "The queen mother also cares about you, and it's always good to be careful in marriage." ”
Princess Qingming
The Queen Mother sighed and muttered, "The female is not staying." ”
Mu Ning dreamed that Mu Ningxuan's face was not good, and he stepped forward with a smile on his face to greet Mu Ningxuan: "The queen mother is auspicious." ”
Mu Ningxuan beckoned, signaling for a waiver, and suddenly smelled a musky scent on Mu Ningmeng's body.
If it weren't for Mu Ningxuan's very sensitive fragrance, ordinary people wouldn't be able to smell the musk fragrance on Mu Ningmeng's body at all.
How could there be musk on Mu Ningmeng's body? If a woman smells too much musk, she will not become pregnant.
Mu Ningxuan's eyes turned around on Mu Ningmeng's body, and she didn't find any suspicious objects, where did the musk smell come from.
"What is the Queen Mother looking at?" Mu Ningmeng found that Mu Ningxuan had been looking at him and asked curiously.
Mu Ningxuan retracted her eyes and said lightly: "It's nothing, by the way, Han Shuyi's belly is getting bigger and bigger, and the imperial doctor said that she wants to recuperate, so don't go to Han Shuyi recently." ”
"Yes." Mu Ning Meng.
Mu Ningxuan didn't let Mu Ningmeng go to Han Shuyi in order to save Han Shuyi's fetus, and the musky scent on Mu Ningmeng's body would make Han Shuyi uncomfortable.
Because Han Shuyi had maintained Mu Ningmeng, Mu Ningmeng often went to her.
This also makes sense why Han Shuyi always feels uncomfortable these days, and called the doctor several times to come to see, but nothing was found.
In order to let Han Shuyi slip the tire, Mu Ningmeng hurt her body with musk, Mu Ningxuan didn't believe it, someone must have done something to Mu Ningmeng.
Who did it do to Mu Ningmeng?
Could it be Guo Miaoying?
Mu Ningxuan currently has no intention of studying the fact that Mu Ningmeng has musk on her body, as long as Mu Ningmeng does not go to Han Shuyi, it doesn't matter to Mu Ningxuan whether her body will be damaged.
Right now, Mu Ningxuan wants to pick out two people and teach them how to make incense, these two people must be reliable people, after all, the incense in the incense book can not only be used for incense, but also kill people invisibly, so this time to choose people, Mu Ningxuan must be cautious.
Among Yutang and Qiumo, Mu Ningxuan can only choose one person, Mu Ningxuan thinks about it, Qiumo is the most suitable.
Another candidate, Mu Ningxuan had no idea.
I can only turn to Aunt Su for help.
Aunt Su recommended a palace maid to Mu Ningxuan, the palace maid was called "Rao Xue", who was originally a second-class palace maid next to the former queen mother, after the queen mother went, Rao Xue has been doing chores in the imperial dining room.
This time, Mu Ningxuan entered the palace as the queen, and Aunt Su begged Mu Ningxuan to transfer Rao Xue out of the imperial dining room and stay in the "Funing Palace" to continue to be a second-class palace maid.
In the past six months or so, Rao Xue has been conscientious and low-key, and he is indeed a stable person.
But Mu Ningxuan was more interested in Zhu Yue's sister, but Zhu Yue's sister had been in the Qinglou for a while, and she couldn't get on the official table, so she gave up.
Mu Ningxuan asked Aunt Su to bring Rao Xue over.
"Slave maid to meet the queen." Rao Xue knelt in front of Mu Ningxuan.
Mu Ningxuan looked at Rao Xue who was kneeling on the ground and asked, "Are you literate?" ”
"Recognize some." Rao Xue said truthfully.
Mu Ningxuan continued to ask, "How much do you recognize the spices?" ”
Rao Xue shook her head and said, "The slave maid has never touched spices when she works in the imperial dining room. ”
Mu Ningxuan asked again: "If someone forces you to betray this palace, what should you do?" ”
Rao Xue thought for a while and said, "The slave is willing to die to prove her loyalty." ”
Mu Ningxuan smiled: "You said you are loyal to me? Why be faithful? ”
Rao Xue said slowly: "The slave maid entered the palace at the age of eight, and has been a slave and maid in the palace for ten years, and the first loyalty was given to the queen mother. ”
"Oh? I knew it was Hongu, so I came over immediately? Any explanation? Mu Ningxuan was a little curious.
Rao Xue said: "Queen Mother, you may not know the slave maid, but the slave and maid recognize you, thank you." ”
"Thank you, Hongu?" Mu Ningxuan felt strange, she didn't remember that she had helped this palace maid.
Rao Xue glanced at Aunt Su, and then said: "Queen Mother, you once lost your memory for two years because you fell from a tree and injured your head, and the slaves and maids also served in the palace during those two years.
Once the slave accidentally broke the tea bowl in her hand, and scratched her hand when she squatted on the ground to pick up the bowl, and it happened that you passed by the slave and maid, and saw that the slave and maid had blood on their hands, so they asked someone to take the slave and maid to bandage it. The slave is very grateful to the mother. ”
"Do you remember such a trivial matter until now?" Mu Ningxuan felt that what Rao Xue said was not enough to say at all, she just moved her mouth.
Rao Xue said with tears in her eyes: "Niangniang is kind-hearted, so she naturally thinks it's nothing, but in this palace, our lives as slaves and maids are like mustard."
The slave maid also has a sister, and the slave's sister was serving at Zhuang Guifei, but after a few years, she died, saying that she died of illness. In fact, the slave knew that my sister accidentally broke the tea bowl when serving tea, which made Zhuang Guifei unhappy, and it happened that Zhuang Guifei was in a bad mood that day, and my sister was strangled to death..."
Rao Xue wiped the tears dripping from her face and continued: "The slave maid is also lucky, I met you and the Queen Mother, not only was not punished for the slave maid breaking the tea bowl, but also asked someone to bandage the slave maid's wounds, and the slave maid was really grateful to the maid in her heart." ”
Mu Ningxuan saw that Rao Xue's expression was sincere, and it didn't seem like she was lying, but Mu Ningxuan was still cautious and continued to ask, "Who else is in your family?" ”
"Back to the mother's words, the slave maid has no home, the slave maid was sold to a large family by human traffickers, and then the palace maid was cut, and the family just reduced the slave, the slave and maid were small at that time, and there was not much work to do, so the slave and maid were sent to the palace.
The background was quite clean, Mu Ningxuan nodded, and let Rao Xue retreat first.
Aunt Su asked, "Queen Mother, is Rao Xue available?" ”
"The person recommended by Aunt Su is naturally good, but the matter of making incense still requires talent, so let's let Rao Xue follow it for a while first."
Before Mu Ningxuan's words fell, Yutang hurriedly walked in front of Mu Ningxuan.
"Niangniang, Han Shuyi has an accident."
Mu Ningxuan asked, "What's going on?" ”
"Half an hour ago, Han Shuyi suddenly complained of stomach pain, and it bleed after a while, and the doctor said that Han Shuyi couldn't save the fetus." Yutang said clearly.
Mu Ningxuan knew that someone wanted to harm Han Shuyi, but she didn't expect to do it so quickly.
Thinking about it, the person behind this is not the same person as the person who put musk on Mu Ningmeng's body.
Mu Ningxuan asked Aunt Su and Yutang to change her clothes, and then hurriedly walked towards Han Shuyi's "Yunxiang Palace".
"Yunxiang Palace" is not too far from "Funing Palace".
Mu Ningxuan walked for a while and arrived at the door of "Yunxiang Palace".
As soon as I walked in, I heard Han Shuyi's heart-rending screams and the sound of crying in pain.
It's been seven months, and the fetus has been formed, and there is no way to drink medicine to sit on the fetus, so it can only be "born".
Listening to Han Shuyi's painful shouts, Mu Ningxuan felt a chill behind her, but she was the queen, and she had to be present no matter what.
In the "Yunxiang Palace", Guo Miaoying and Mu Ningmeng were all there, and when they saw Mu Ningxuan, they saluted Mu Ningxuan together: "Queen Mother Sheng'an." ”
Mu Ningxuan raised her hand and said, "Get up." ”
When everyone got up, Mu Ningxuan asked the imperial doctor on the side, "What happened to Han Shuyi's fetus?" ”
It was Imperial Doctor Zhang who came to see Han Shuyi, and Imperial Doctor Zhang said: "Qi Yu Niangniang, Han Shuyi's fetal image is not very good recently, Weichen has been letting Han Shuyi rest in bed, but for some reason, Han Shuyi still did not save the fetus. ”
"What did Han Shuyi eat today?" Mu Ningxuan asked.
Imperial Physician Zhang replied, "I have just checked Han Shuyi's meals in the morning and noon, and there is nothing wrong with it. ”
Mu Ningxuan called the maid Feng'er beside Han Shuyi: "Has your master seen anyone today?" ”
"Back to the queen's mother, only Miao Shuyi, Meng Zhaoyi and Liu Meiren have come to see the master today." Feng'er said truthfully.
Guo Miaoying, Mu Ningmeng, and Liu Meiren immediately looked bad, and explained one after another: "Queen Mother, we didn't do anything. ”
Mu Ningxuan looked at Mu Ningmeng and said, "I won't talk about the two of them, didn't this palace tell Meng Zhaoyi that Han Shuyi wanted to recuperate, so you don't want to come to Han Shuyi?" ”
Mu Ningmeng immediately knelt on the ground and said aggrievedly: "Sister Han has not been very comfortable recently, and the concubines have rarely come over, but today I met Sister Miao in the imperial garden, and Sister Miao called the concubines to come over." ”
As soon as Guo Miaoying heard that Mu Ningmeng pushed the matter on her, she hurriedly defended: "Sister, it's not right for you to say that, Liu Meiren and I did meet my sister you in the Imperial Garden, and my sister was not about to come to Han Shuyi at that time, so we came over together." ”
"Yes, Sister Dream can't mislead the queen to wronged us." Of course, Liu Meiren is on Guo Miaoying's side.
Before Mu Ningxuan could tell right from wrong, the official strode in.
"Your Majesty." All the concubines saluted the official family together and said in unison.
When the official family saw a group of concubines, only Mu Ningmeng knelt on the ground, and suddenly felt pity, and his brows furrowed.
"Queen, did Meng Zhaoyi do something wrong again?"
Mu Ningxuan said expressionlessly: "Your Majesty came just in time, and the concubine is asking." ”
"What's wrong?" The official asked.
Mu Ningxuan said: "I was just asking Han Shuyi who she saw today, why she suddenly had a fetal gas." ”
The official glanced at Mu Ningmeng, who was kneeling on the ground, and hesitated for a moment.
At this time, Han Shuyi, who was in the back room, let out another scream, and Wen Po ran out with blood on her hands, and said to the official: "Your Majesty, Han Shuyi's blood collapsed, and she is dying." After saying that, Wen Po hurried in again.
The official's face sank: "Imperial Doctor Zhang, there is another way." ”
Imperial Physician Zhang knelt on the ground and replied cautiously: "Han Shuyi is seven months pregnant, and it is already dangerous to lose a baby at this time, plus Han Shuyi has been unwell recently..."
The official family interrupted Imperial Doctor Zhang's words and said impatiently: "You just say whether you can save it or not?" ”
"Weichen is panicked, there is no other way to save Han Shuyi." After speaking, Imperial Doctor Zhang lowered his head.
Wen Po came out again: "Han Shuyi is gone." ”
The official sighed and said, "Burial Han Shuyi." ”
Dropping this sentence, the official family left the "Yunxiang Palace", of course, the official family just said what he said to Mu Ningxuan, and now these things in the harem are all things within Mu Ningxuan's share.
***
Diligent Palace.
Mu Ningxuan asked the official family for peace and told him what happened in the "Yunxiang Palace" today.
However, Mu Ningxuan felt that the official family didn't seem to care whether Han Shuyi had alarmed the fetus or whether someone else did it intentionally.
Seeing that the official family didn't take it to heart, Mu Ningxuan didn't mention it anymore, but she felt sorry for Han Shuyi in her heart, she had only been in the palace for a year, and she had a good youth, but she lost her life.
Obviously, someone deliberately harmed her, but there was no one who even found the murderer for her~
Back in the "Funing Palace", the maid Feng'er beside Han Shuyi begged to see the queen at the door.
Mu Ningxuan naturally knew that Feng'er wanted to tell her that Han Shuyi's fetal gas was deliberately caused by someone, but Mu Ningxuan hesitated for a while and still saw Feng'er.
