Chapter 127: Poisoning
Harem.
Warm Jade Pavilion.
Since returning from Qinshan, he has almost uprooted the officials of the Huaizhou family, and there is no disharmony in the entire court, and the emperor has been in a good mood recently, and he has even come to the harem more often than usual.
Taking this opportunity, Lin Shuzhen, who had been silent for a long time, tried her best to finally let the emperor come to her twice. It's just that just two times may not be able to make her pregnant with the dragon species, as long as she is a woman who enters this harem, she is all counting on the day when she conceives a child, and she can rely on it for the rest of her life.
The emperor's favor can be relied on for a while, but I am afraid it can't be relied on for a lifetime.
Since entering the palace, Lin Shuzhen has also been cautious and cautious, step by step, from the beginning she never thought of hugging the queen's thighs, after all, following the queen has to abide by the rules and slowly boil, I'm afraid she won't want to overshadow Lin Yunxin's limelight in ten years. Besides, there are too many low-ranking concubines who want to take refuge in the queen, and the queen is not good at the eldest prince now, and I don't know what variables will happen.
What's more, even if under the eyes of Queen Wang, she is really pregnant with a dragon son, but the harem can't interfere in politics, what can she do to Lin Yunxin and Xu Chunzhi?
But if you follow Concubine Ning's path, it will be different.
Concubine Ning, as a favorite concubine, has always been arrogant and domineering, and if she doesn't look at the queen in her eyes, at most her face is not so ugly, but the emperor did not stop it much, which shows that the emperor either likes this tune, or is dissatisfied with the queen, and deliberately uses Concubine Ning to beat her.
When Concubine Ning extended an olive branch to her, Lin Shuzhen took it without hesitation. It didn't matter whether Concubine Ning saw her as a representative of the Lin family or felt that she was useful. All she wants is a better understanding of Concubine Ning's tricks to become her favorite concubine today.
"The emperor has arrived!"
Lin Shuzhen, who was holding the scroll and falling into thought, heard the voice, immediately put down the book, greeted the outside, and said in surprise: "Your Majesty! ”
"Hmm." The emperor nodded slightly, since the Qinshan Grand Ceremony was saved by Xu Chunzhi, the emperor is naturally indispensable for rewards, but Xu Chunzhi has long been unsealed, and further it is really only the way to be crowned king, he does not have this idea of moving stones to hit his own feet, it is also a way to reward the Lin family who are in-laws with Xu Chunzhi, and to favor the concubines from the Lin family who are born in the Lin family.
What's more, this Lin Cairen has always been clever and well-behaved, and he doesn't cause trouble, and he is also happy to take care of two points. It's just that love is love, he didn't have the intention of letting Lin Cairen conceive a child so early, so he would arrange for the imperial dining room to send Lin Cairen a shunzi soup in the name of tonifying the soup.
The emperor sat down in the hall, and Lin Shuzhen and the palace maid served him to eat with his clean hands, but as soon as the two of them sat down to eat, someone outside announced: "Concubine Ning has arrived!" ”
Concubine Ning?
Lin Shuzhen's face changed slightly, Concubine Ning had never come to her small courtyard, this was to the emperor? Or are you still demonstrating against her?
No matter what she thought, Lin Shuzhen immediately raised a gentle smile and got up to greet her, after all, the emperor can not move, but she can't, in the end, she is just a talented person.
As soon as she thought of this, Lin Shuzhen wanted to climb to a high position as soon as possible, and the fastest way was to conceive a dragon son as soon as possible.
"Concubine Ning." Lin Shuzhen went to the door to greet him.
Concubine Ning smiled and nodded, then came to the emperor's side and said with a smile: "What a coincidence, this palace is thinking about visiting Lin Cairen, and I don't want the emperor to be here, is this what ordinary people say about meeting thousands of miles away?" ”
The emperor chuckled: "Sit down." You have always refused to forgive people, if I want to say no, you will not follow, if I say yes, where do you put Lin Cairen? ”
Concubine Ning's eyes flashed, and she glanced at Lin Shuzhen: "Okay, the emperor really has a newcomer who forgets the old, so soon he only cares about protecting Lin Cairen and ignoring the concubines." ”
The emperor also glanced at Lin Shuzhen, and saw that Lin Shuzhen was still smiling softly, not refuting or in a hurry, and couldn't help but be satisfied. It is enough to have one "favorite concubine" who loves to toss and make trouble, if everyone is like this, his harem should be in a miasma.
Smart people should find their place and play their due role.
"Just your poor mouth." The Emperor smiled and took over the topic.
"Meow." As soon as she sat down, the cat in Concubine Ning's arms barked twice.
"Huh? What's wrong? It's not honest to be so chaotic, do you want to go to the ground? Concubine Ning stroked the shiny cat in her arms twice, "That's not good, be nice." ”
"Mother." Immediately, a palace maid took the cat from Concubine Ning to comfort her, and did not disturb the emperor's meal.
Soon, the palace maid and eunuch summoned lunch, and one after another delicious dishes were served, and there were beautiful women on the emperor's left and right, and he was in a really good mood.
When a beautifully made dim sum was served, Lin Shuzhen immediately said: "Your Majesty, this is a meal in the concubine's hometown, good things come in pairs, both the meaning and the taste are top-grade, the emperor tastes it?" ”
"Oh?" The emperor looked at the dim sum that was "blooming" at both ends of the bamboo knot in front of him and had a refreshing fragrance, and was a little interested, and was just about to taste it, but an exclamation suddenly came from the side, "Ah! ”
The cat, who was honestly in the arms of the palace maid, suddenly jumped down, attracted by the exquisite and fragrant pastries on the table, and took a piece in her mouth.
“!!” Lin Shuzhen's face turned pale, and she was suddenly a little annoyed in her heart, but it was not easy to attack.
"Oops." Concubine Ning showed two points of coquettish complaints, "Baomi can't eat indiscriminately, catch it quickly." ”
The emperor shook his head and smiled, and put down his chopsticks.
Originally, although this scene was chaotic but interesting, but the next moment, everyone's faces changed.
"Baomi!" Concubine Ning got up and exclaimed, and the snow-white cat suddenly fell on the table with a kick on her legs, and wisps of blood overflowed from her mouth.
"Someone! Please Imperial Doctor-" This obvious sign of poisoning made the emperor immediately vigilant, and the palace guards also immediately dispatched to surround the Warm Jade Pavilion.
"This, this can't be...... Something must have gone wrong...... Lin Shuzhen was a little panicked, no matter how smart she was, after all, she was just a girl in her teens, and when she faced the imperial power with the power of life and death, she would only feel fear.
"Your Majesty! I don't, it's not me...... The concubine doesn't know why this is happening, you ......" Lin Shuzhen was in a hurry to explain, but suddenly noticed that Concubine Ning was holding the dead cat's corpse, her sad face seemed to be illusory, and there seemed to be a faint smile.
It's Concubine Ning! …… It must have been Concubine Ning who harmed her! Lin Shuzhen suddenly had such a thought in her heart, but before she could clear her mind, the emperor had already obtained the preliminary test results of the imperial doctor, it was the pastry that was poisoned, and if there was no cat to block it for him, the poisoned person would be him.
After a moment of silence, the emperor ordered in a deep voice: "Block all news and send Lin Cairen into the cold palace." ”
"Nope! - No, Your Majesty! Not me! It's Concubine Ning, it must be Concubine Ning who hurt me, it's the cat that has a problem, it's not a concubine, the emperor-hmm......" Lin Shuzhen was quickly dragged away by the guards covering her mouth and nose.
"Your Majesty......" Concubine Ning looked at him worriedly, with tears in her eyes, sadness and grievances, and more fear, after all, the emperor was almost in front of her......
"It's fine." The Emperor patted her on the back, appeased her a little, and then ordered the arrangement to be made, and then led the people away.
A shocking case of poisoning the emperor was quietly settled in the emperor's arrangement, and it didn't even spread.
Back in the palace, Concubine Ning looked unhappy, how could she not have thought that such a big matter, the emperor would just beat Lin Shuzhen into the cold palace, it stands to reason that the Lin family should be held accountable, after all, it is necessary to affect the whole body, Lin Shuzhen dared to poison the emperor, and the Lin family could not escape the blame.
"Do you mean...... Is it really for the sake of Xu Chunzhi and Lin Yunxin's face? This is not like the style of the emperor...... Or is it for a visit to the Western Regions in the near future? Concubine Ning thought about it for a while, and then left it behind for the time being, a Lin Shuzhen was not worth her much effort.
The Imperial Study.
"The emperor's ......" The chief eunuch brought the tea cup for the emperor and looked at the emperor's face.
Since he sealed his mouth, the emperor was naturally not worried that his personal eunuch would reveal it, he just felt that Lin Shuzhen should not be so stupid, and the Lin family had no reason to do anything to him. But the question is, the people of the Huaizhou family are basically uprooted, who will deal with him?
But at this juncture, he doesn't want to make extraneous branches, once it spreads, it will be full of wind and rain in the city, and the tribute team from the Western Regions will arrive in a few days, at least until then......
With a tap of his fingers, the emperor picked up the teacup: "Zhang Junhong, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and Zhao Xiaofeng, the leader of Long Mingwei." Then he flipped through the recitals.
General's Palace.
Lin Yunxin's belly is getting bigger day by day, and the atmosphere in the house is becoming more and more tense day by day, making Lin Yunxin both helpless and funny, and reprimanding many times can't solve the problem, these people seem to be more nervous than her.
For this reason, she ordered that no one who could control his facial expressions and nervousness should not come to her, so as not to affect her emotions and be detrimental to production.
Since then, everyone's attitude in the house has changed instantly, everyone is a happy and silly look, and those who don't know think they have entered the theater garden.
In this regard, Lin Yunxin is too lazy to make any further adjustments, everything that should be prepared is ready, and now she will wait for another three months to stabilize production.
"By the way, the tributary team of the Western Regions is also about to arrive in the imperial capital, right?" Lin Yunxin asked.
Haishan said: "Yes, madam, I'm afraid it's only been a few days. ”
"Well, I hope nothing goes wrong." Daqing is now truly unified and settled, and now the visit of the Western Regions is particularly important, after all, all the border countries around are watching, only Daqing State sits firmly on the Western Regions tribute, and re-establishes diplomatic relations with the Western Regions as the attitude of the Heavenly Empire, in order to return to the former glory.
There is something wrong with this, and presumably the emperor will attach great importance to it.
Then the pheasant is probably going to be very busy again.
Lin Yunxin sighed lightly, shook her head and smiled.
