Chapter 66: Disaster Descends from Heaven

In the Shuqing Palace, the imperial physician Qi Feng raised a fan above his head and presented it in front of Emperor Yude, the Queen Mother, the Empress, and several concubines.

But Imperial Doctor Qi's words made everyone stunned on the spot.

“…… It should be the poison of cinnabar on this fan......"

"What?! The poison of cinnabar?! Emperor Yude stood up in shock. Zhou Liang presented it. ”

Zhou Liang hurriedly took the fan in Qi Fengshi's hand, and then presented it to the emperor. Emperor Yude took it and looked left and right for a long time, but he didn't see any clues.

"I look at this fan, it's no different, huh?"

Emperor Yude handed it over to Zhou Liang, and the Queen Mother and others took it and passed it on.

"Your Majesty, the toxicity on this fan is not great, and it is okay to use it once or twice, but now it is almost half a summer, and this fan is indeed used every day, and after a long time, the poison of this cinnabar will also invade the body, presumably this girl, when the itching on her face is accompanied by dry heat, she will definitely take out the fan from time to time, which is equivalent to making it worse, and it is getting more and more serious, so it is festering like this today."

The Queen Mother took the fan, looked at the patterns on it carefully, and her hands trembled more and more. Queen Zhou sat on the side, seeing the Queen Mother shaking like this, thinking that the Queen Mother was also poisoned, and hurriedly went to grab the fan.

Unexpectedly, the Queen Mother not only didn't let her take it away, but also stood up tremblingly with the fan, and walked to Xing'er and Wang Zhen'er in a different way.

Syllable! With a bang, the Queen Mother used all her strength and slapped Xing'er on the face. Everyone was stunned on the spot.

Xing'er was beaten inexplicably, her face was hot, and the corners of her mouth oozed star blood, Xing'er covered her face and looked up at the Queen Mother, at this time, the angry expression on the Queen Mother's face was even worse than this slap, Xing'er didn't know what was going on, she simply thought she had done something wrong, and quickly knelt down.

"Please calm the anger of the Queen Mother. Xing'er doesn't know what mistake she made? ”

"I'm angry?! You have lost your conscience, and you have used such a degrading method! "The Queen Mother is really angry, and she has begun to call herself me.

Xing'er was dumbfounded when she heard this, looked up at the Queen Mother, and forgot to cry with a look of grievance. Wang Zhen'er also knelt down.

"Queen Mother, what's wrong? Xing'er has always been obedient. "Wang Zhen'er protects Xing'er.

"Zhen girl, don't get involved in things that shouldn't be in your business!"

"Queen Mother, Xing'er really doesn't know what she did wrong, please make it clear." Xing'er slammed her head to the ground.

"What did you do wrong?! See for yourself! Saying that, the Queen Mother threw the fan on her face, and the fan rolled down.

Xing'er picked it up, looked at the top group, was startled at first, and sat down paralyzed.

"How?! It's a good thing you've done, right?! The Queen Mother was angry and sat back in the chair.

Xing'er took the fan, flipped it over and over again, and couldn't see any clues, thinking that she was just a fan with Chen Yiqing, how could it become a poisonous fan?

Xing'er crawled a few steps on her knees and crawled to the Queen Mother.

"Queen Mother, Xing'er really doesn't know anything, this is just a fan that Xing'er and Sister Chen gave to each other, just to respond to the scene of the Duanyang Festival, how did it become a poisonous fan. What is the difference between this fan and the usual fan, Xing'er doesn't know at all! ”

"Queen Mother, the concubines have always only asked about these things in the palace, but they also know that this child is usually very well-behaved, isn't it ......" Concubine Shu turned her head to look at Imperial Doctor Qi, "This Imperial Doctor is mistaken?" ”

"Yes, Queen Mother, this child has been in the palace for a few years, earlier than Miss Chen, and she has always been well-behaved, and she also knows etiquette, although the concubine is not very familiar with her, but she has also heard of it, should this matter be discussed in the long term and investigated? Re-decided? "Concubine Qing has always spoken in a righteous manner.

The Queen Mother listened to the words of the second concubine, and her heart was a little shaken, Xing'er's usual good also surfaced, and with her past actions, it really didn't seem like she could do such a thing.

"Yes, Queen Mother, this little person, said that she had the intention of harming others, we can't believe it, saying that she had the intention of harming others, but for what?" Queen Zhou also said, and everyone nodded.

Queen Zhou's words sounded like a needle, but in fact, she clamped a steel needle, which suddenly aroused the suspicion of the Queen Mother.

"For what? Hehe! The Queen Mother laughed dryly, "What the Queen said is true!" What is this girl for?! ”

Everyone thought that the Queen Mother was going to spare Xing'er. Chen Yiqing saw this, afraid that the Queen Mother would spare her, and also climbed to the Queen Mother, and crawled over crying all the way.

"Miss Qing asks the Queen Mother to call the shots, and Miss Qing doesn't believe that it is Sister Xing'er's so-called, but she also asks the Queen Mother to give Qing'er justice."

Chen Yiqing's words sound kind, but they are more poisonous than Queen Zhou's needles.

At this moment, I heard a report outside, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Fourth Highness have arrived!" After a while, the two brothers strode into the Shuqing Palace.

The two of them hurriedly greeted the elders, and when Chen Yiqing saw that the prince was coming, she hurriedly covered her face again.

"Imperial grandmother, my grandson heard that you are not in good health today, so I came to visit." The prince said in a crisp voice.

"So is the grandson." The fourth prince, Jing Xuan, agreed.

"Grandmother is fine. Liyue, show the two imperial grandchildren. "The Queen Mother cut off the crown prince Jingzhang, and then looked at Xing'er Chen Yiqing, her mood was even worse, but she just held back her anger and didn't attack for the time being.

Jingzhang and Jingxuan did it, looked at Xing'er and Chen Yiqing who were kneeling on the ground, and Wang Zhen'er who was kneeling in the corner, and was taken aback.

What's going on today? The prince thought to himself. Isn't it going to make a decision for His Royal Highness about the crown princess today? The prince looked at the three of them again, and the expressions on each of their faces were abnormal, and they didn't look like this.

"Dare to ask my father, what's wrong today?"

"This ......" Emperor Yude didn't know how to explain this.

"Jingzhang, you shouldn't worry about this matter, don't ask more!" The Queen Mother directly intercepted the prince's questioning.

"Imperial grandmother ......" Jingzhang gave up.

"Huh? ......" the Queen Mother almost roared out. Jingzhang saw that the situation was not good, and he still couldn't figure it out, so let's wait for now.

"Zhou Liang!" The Queen Mother gritted her back molars and called for it.

"The minions are here." Zhou Liang almost trembled and walked to the front.

"Go! You personally go to the Criminal Division and let Gan Chun and Ning Chun bring people here! Empress Dowager Guo's eyes narrowed slightly.

Everyone was shocked, no one in the palace knew what Gan Chun and Ning Chun were doing, if it was not verified, it would be fine, once it was verified, Xing'er's life would be ...... The virtuous concubine listened to a hundred things in her heart. wanted to help Xing'er defend two sentences, but he was about to open his mouth and close it again.

At this time, it is not the time to make a move, at this time all the good things are said, and it is even more difficult to help her intercede! Concubine Xian thought to herself. Turning his head to look at Emperor Yude, the latter looked calm, thinking that the emperor didn't believe that such a child would calculate a girl of seventeen or eighteen like this.

Thinking of this, Concubine Xian was simply shocked by her own guess, Xing'er would not calculate an adult girl, but ...... This adult girl can't be saved...... Concubine Xian didn't dare to guess anymore, she glanced at Chen Yiqing, and couldn't imagine that a beautiful girl like a fairy would calculate herself?

Although the virtuous concubine had doubts in her heart, she didn't dare to trust her judgment. Let's go, if the Queen Mother punishes you for a while, you must keep it first, and then talk about it, as for what is going on with this whole thing, you might as well visit it in detail in the future. Right! Hongu is the idea! Concubine Xian made up her mind in her heart, and she was relieved to wait silently.

After a while, Gan Chun and Ning Chun, the two grandmothers, led a group of palace maids and eunuchs from the Shen Criminal Division to come in, and after greeting the masters, Gan Chun's grandmother blessed the queen mother again.

"The Empress Dowager, call the old slave to come, I don't know what??" Zhou Lianglu had already explained the matter roughly, but he still had to show the Empress Dowager Qing.

"Gan Chun Ning Chun, go to the room around the backyard to search for the mourning family! Even the ant-sized cinnabar grains can't be spared! The Queen Mother's hand slapped heavily on the arm of the chair.

"Yes!"

The two grandmothers, Gan and Ning, immediately received the order and led the palace people to the backyard of Shuqing Palace. Liyue, as the eldest aunt of the respectful room, also wanted to go to the backyard to have a look, but she had just moved a few steps when she was stopped by the Queen Mother.

"Liyue! Be careful about who you are! ”

"Yes!" Li Yuefu returned to the Queen Mother to serve.

About three quarters of an hour, Gan and Ning came back to their lives. I saw that Na Ning Chun was holding a cloth bag in her hand.

"When I went back to the emperor and the queen mother, I did find cinnabar." Ning Chun bowed his head.

Everyone sat up straight after hearing this, and Xing'er, Chen Yiqing, and Wang Zhen'er also knelt straight.

"Which room?" Liyue asked.

Before Liyue's words came out, she was glared back by the Queen Mother.

"Back to the emperor and the queen mother, it is the one in the middle of the backyard."

When Xing'er heard this, he immediately collapsed to the ground. How so? How so? But it was found in your own room? How could it be?! Xing'er couldn't believe her ears.

Poof! With a bang, Qiaoxin fell to his knees.

"The Queen Mother Mingjian! That cinnabar is a slave's, and it's not about Xing'er. "Qiaoxin intends to help Xing'er resist this.

"Ingenuity! You are bold! Before the Queen Mother had a seizure, Mama Gui Chun opened her mouth first.

"Queen Mother, that thing is really a minion's, not Xing'er's." Qiaoxin knelt and climbed a few steps.

"The Queen Mother, the Emperor, it can't be Qiaoxin, Qiaoxin was in a room with Xing'er before, but a few days ago, the Queen Mother ordered Qiaoxin to sort out the scriptures to be sent to Huguo Temple, Sister Qiaoxin was afraid that there would be many people, and the scriptures were unclean, which polluted the sincerity of the Queen Mother, so she moved to the room next to the small kitchen by herself, saying that she would move back after turning the scriptures." Juan Xin Xiuxin defended ingenuity.

"Ingenuity! What else do you have to say?! Empress Dowager Guo was a little angry at Qiaoxin's reckless behavior.

"Queen Mother...... Qiaoxin never believed that this stupid sister could do such a thing at a young age, and Qiaoxin wanted to admit it herself. Qiaoxin cried as she spoke.

Although Qiaoxin is a girl, she usually lives with Xing'er and knows Xing'er best, before the prince's affairs Xing'er suffered a lot of money and was sick for a few months without saying a word, and last year in the winter month somehow she suffered a loss and didn't say a word, she was sick for nearly two months, how could such a girl harm people, she didn't believe it.

"Ning Chun, take what you have in your hand and show it to the mourning family!"

Mama Ning Chun presented the small cloth bag to the Queen Mother, and when the Queen Mother took it and opened it, she knew that it was a star's thing, which was a flat-horned sachet embroidered with a pink-green brocade embroidered with a flower bat, and the word "brocade" was shown on it.

The Queen Mother threw the sachet in front of Xing'er. Said angrily: "What else do you have to say?!" Zhu Jinhua! ”
