The county lord's mansion, the courtyard of Concubine Qi.

Shen Shu sat down, and Concubine Qi's mother took the tea set and withdrew.

Concubine Qi put aside the dust in her hand, boiled water, and roasted tea.

Shen Shu doesn't know much about cooking tea, but when she sees Concubine Qi's cooking technique, she also knows that it is not what the current Great Zhou people are used to, but the ancient method of cooking tea.

The slightest wisp of tea fragrance wafts out from the oven, and before the tea is drunk, it is already refreshing.

Shen Shu naturally didn't have the mood to feel the fragrance of tea, she was absentmindedly thinking about how to ask-

I heard Concubine Qi sigh faintly, and said with a wry smile: "The first emperor liked to drink the tea I cooked the most when he was alive, and after the first emperor died, I never touched these things again, in the end, I was born by hand." ”

Hearing her mention the first emperor, Shen Shu's eyebrows moved slightly, and she raised her eyes to look at Concubine Qi's face.

Concubine Qi felt her gaze, and simply put the tea set aside in her hand, her eyes full of complicated emotions.

"I haven't thanked the county lord for saving his life, I thought that the Buddha beads were handed over to you, and when the queen mother saw it, the poor nun would definitely die, but I didn't expect it...... Thanks to the blessing of the county lord, the catastrophe will not die. ”

Since she has started, Shen Shu will naturally not give up the opportunity to ask.

"Now that this is the situation, can the concubine tell the truth, what is the poison on the Buddha beads?"

Concubine Qi looked at her and said with a wry smile: "The county lord is a descendant of the Bai family, and he can find out that the Buddha beads are poisonous, but he doesn't know what kind of poison it is. ”

Shen Shu's face could not hide his disappointment.

She originally thought that the poison on the bead was the poisonous blood of the Bai family's descendants after drinking the blood of the bat bird.

However, that day in Renshou Palace, it was clear that the Queen Mother touched the bead and was fine, but she was in a coma for three days.

The Queen Mother's various reactions in Renshou Palace were undoubtedly inducing King Yi to touch the string of beads.

Shen Shu almost had no doubt that if King Yi touched the string of beads that day, he would be like the emperor, unconscious and difficult to wake up.

She originally thought that this was the "mystery of the Buddha beads" that Concubine Qi knew.

But I didn't expect it......

Concubine Qi took in Shen Shu's disappointment, she pondered for a few breaths, and made up her mind to speak: "Although the poor nun doesn't know what kind of poison is on the Buddha bead, she knows that the first emperor died because of the poison on the Buddha bead. ”

Speaking of this, she paused, and her voice was a little lower: "More than the first emperor...... Even the former queen died under this poison. ”

Shen Shu was shocked.

"The first emperor and the first ...... Empress? She asked, surprised.

The first emperor died of the poison of the Buddha beads, which Shen Shuda vaguely guessed when he saw the first emperor holding the beads in his hand.

Now I am not surprised to hear Concubine Qi say this matter.

But the "first queen" ......

She has never heard of the current emperor, in addition to the current emperor, she has also named someone else as the queen.

Concubine Qi smiled dumbly: "The county lord misunderstood, the first queen that the poor nun said was the first queen of the first emperor - Empress Shuhui." ”

Empress Sook Hye......

This name is a little unfamiliar to Shen Shu.

Although it is unfamiliar, Shen Shu can also remember who this Queen Shuhui is.

It is said that Empress Shuhui is the only daughter of King Luyang and the queen of the first emperor's childhood sweetheart.

The relationship between the emperor and the queen is very strong, and this is a good story.

Helplessly, Queen Shuhui did not come out for many years, and finally died of depression.

Today, the Queen Mother entered the palace and was named a noble concubine, ranking first among the four concubines. Concubine Xiao Guifei gave birth to her eldest son (today's saint), and after the death of Empress Shuhui, she gave birth to ten princes, and her mother was named queen by virtue of her son......

These are the old yellow calendars of decades ago, after the death of Empress Shuhui, the king of Luyang was punished for rebellion, and it became a taboo for the Great Zhou Dynasty.

A person at such a young age as Shen Shu should not have known this history.

However, Mr. Xi, the teacher invited by Shen Chong for Shen Jinming, likes to read wild history the most, and once mentioned a few words about this past to their brothers and sisters.

Back then, Shen Shu also sighed that Queen Shuhui was infinitely honored during her lifetime, but she didn't think about it, but in the end, she didn't even have a posthumous title after she died, which was really a shameful life.

Now when she heard Concubine Qi mention this Empress Shuhui, and bluntly said that Empress Shuhui's death was related to the string of Buddhist beads in the Empress Dowager's palace, Shen Shu was very shocked.

She forced herself to calm down and looked at Concubine Qi: "The first emperor and the first queen have been dead for many years, and the master is now telling this matter, whether it is true or not, regardless of what the master wants, you might as well say it directly." ”

Concubine Qi was silent for a few breaths, looked directly into Shen Shu's eyes, and said in a low voice: "After the death of the first emperor, I should have gone with the first emperor...... But after all, he felt uneasy for the first emperor, and he will survive to this day. Empress Yuan was the love of the first emperor's life, and was killed by the Empress Dowager Xiao, and the first emperor was kept in the dark until he finally discovered the tricks of the Empress Dowager......"

Shen Shuxing's eyes narrowed slightly.

When she heard about Queen Shuhui, she also suspected-

Obviously, King Luyang was loyal to the court and the first emperor all his life, why did he suddenly raise troops to rebel after the death of Empress Shuhui.

If what Concubine Qi said is true, it will be explained.

Empress Shuhui is the favorite daughter of King Luyang, she is the queen, but she was designed to be killed, how can King Luyang watch the enemy ascend to the throne.

It must be really difficult to swallow this breath, so he will raise troops to rebel.

And the Queen Mother ......

Concubine Qi saw Shen Shu's face with a deep expression, and said meaningfully: "Empress Shuhui has been nowhere for many years, and when your grandfather Bai Xin saved the life of the first emperor and was invited into the palace by the first emperor, Empress Shuhui asked him to give him a prescription in order to conceive a dragon seed. Bai Xin's medical skills are outstanding, and it is natural to cure Queen Shuhui, and after just three months of conditioning, Queen Shuhui is really pregnant with her son-in-law. ”

Speaking of this, she paused, her expression seemed to be reminiscing, and as if mocking: "Those two strings of Buddha beads have the effect of calming the soul, and the first emperor gave it to me and the queen mother for the rest of the pregnancy." The Queen Mother went to visit Empress Shuhui in the palace, and knew that Empress Shuhui was pregnant and could not sleep peacefully at night, so she took the initiative to transfer this string of Buddhist beads to Empress Shuhui......

As a token of gratitude, Empress Shuhui gave many things. This was originally a normal exchange between the queen of the harem and the concubines, however, not long after the queen gave the things, Concubine Xiao was poisoned by the things given by the queen. ”

"Poisoned?" Shen Shu was surprised: "Didn't the Queen Mother want to blame the Empress Yuan with this?" The Empress Yuan is pregnant, the first emperor and the Empress Yuan are childhood sweethearts, the queen mother's tricks are so clumsy, how can she deceive the eyes of the first emperor? ”

These words made Concubine Qi's face flash with complexity.

"No, you're wrong." She looked at Shen Shu and said: "Marrying into the emperor's family, how can you expect the emperor's love to be consistent, the queen has been infertile for many years, and there has been a gap between the emperor and the emperor, although the queen mother's tricks are not very clever, but she gave birth to a smart eldest son for the emperor, and she is trusted by the emperor, and ...... When she was poisoned, she was pregnant with a child......"
