Chapter 237: Alienation
Early the next morning, Wen Xize received the news that Miao Zitong hanged himself in the middle of the night!
"I heard that Wan Zhaoyi went to see Miao Chang yesterday, and I heard that the two had a quarrel, and then Wan Zhaoyi walked away, and Miao Chang was secretly sad for a long time. Unexpectedly, in the middle of the night, this happened. Li Sheng cautiously said these things to Wen Xize.
After Wen Xize heard this, his face turned pale: "It's just that a person who should have died is always there, it's not a big deal, let's bury it according to the etiquette system of Chang Zai." ”
"Yes." Li Sheng replied.
Xiao Quanzi was also guarding beside him, naturally understanding what Li Sheng meant just now, but he was anxious but could only press it first.
"Wan Zhaoyi should also wake up at this time, I will go and see her." Wen Xize stood up, and Xiao Quanzi and Li Sheng hurriedly followed.
When Wen Xize said Taoyuan Pavilion, Yuan Dai was watching "Cherish the Flower Collection", and when she saw Wen Xize coming, Yuan Dai got up and saluted Wen Xize. Wen Xize wouldn't let Kite salute before, but he accepted Kite Dai's salute today, and sat down.
After he sat down, he saw the "Collection of Cherishing Flowers" on the table, picked it up and looked at it: "This book has been a long time." ”
"yes, it's been a long time."
"I remember that I used to like "Cherish Flowers" for a while, and Zitong also started to read this "Cherish Flowers Collection" for me, why do you look like it?"
"I went to see Miao Changzai yesterday, and suddenly remembered this poetry collection, and I took it out to see it when I felt it, but I didn't expect the emperor to remember this book."
"It's normal for people to miss the past, why did they come to you, but they were a little surprised?" Wen Xize asked and answered, "You are pregnant, you shouldn't be moving around, why did you go to Zhengxinzhai yesterday?" ”
"Nostalgia! I wanted to see the previous master, so I went to Zhengxinzhai on purpose. ”
"That's it?"
The smile on Iris Dai's face disappeared: "The emperor doesn't need to test the concubines here, it's just because he learned the news that Miao Chang was hanging himself, so he came to ask the concubines why, right?" ”
"What does her death have to do with you?"
"If the emperor really thinks it's okay, why do you want to come here?"
"Kite, are you relying on me to spoil you, and you are becoming more and more lawless?"
Yuan Dai was not afraid of him, and said bluntly: "If the emperor's favor is only so suspicious, the concubines really don't dare to think about it." ”
Wen Xize threw "Cherishing Flowers" on the table: "You are pregnant now, I don't want to be angry with you." ”
"The emperor has started throwing books, and he still said that he didn't get angry with his concubines?" Iris asked rhetorically.
"Iris, you're not such an unreasonable person."
"The emperor thinks that the concubines are quite unreasonable, so he can go to the empathetic concubines."
"Okay, that's what you said." Wen Xize left directly, Iris Dai didn't seem to believe that Wen Xize really left like this, and sat on the couch with some despair, Xue'er hurriedly stepped forward to comfort: "Niangniang, don't be angry, what if you have fetal gas?" ”
Kite Dai looked at Xue'er: "What does Miao Changzai's death have to do with the palace, the emperor has to hold on to the palace?" ”
Xue'er replied: "Niangniang, Miao Chang has been with the emperor for so many years, and the emperor will definitely feel uncomfortable when he hears the news of her death." You are pregnant now, how can the emperor ignore you? ”
Iris Dai's tears couldn't stop flowing: "He's uncomfortable, isn't it happy to come here to find this palace?" ”
Fang Ting walked in at this time: "Niangniang, you are pregnant now, you can't cry." Xue'er, you go to the small kitchen and look at the bird's nest porridge, and I will talk to my mother. ”
"Hmm." Cher answered.
There were only two people left in the room, Yuan Dai and Fang Ting, and Yuan Dai restrained her sad look, and even her tears immediately stopped: "Was the emperor angry when he left?" ”
"I'm angry."
"Then this period of time should not come over, when is the next pulse diagnosis of Imperial Doctor Gao?"
"There are still three days before Doctor Gao's next pulse diagnosis, but the slave maid's movements are faster to see Xue'er."
"After all, this palace is now suspected of killing Miao Zitong, and the emperor is angry at the time, if he knows about the fake pregnancy in this palace at this time, he will not be able to turn over in this life."
"Mother, what is the plan?"
"Advance!" Iris touched her belly, "I always feel that if this belly continues, the greater the hidden danger." ”
"Yes." Fang Ting still admires Iris Dai's quick decision.
In the East Palace, Lianzhi has already lived in the dormitory, and is looking at the plum blossoms on the table at the moment.
"Crown Princess, this winter is almost over, and these plum blossoms are one of the few late plums in the imperial garden."
"Then when the spring flowers bloom, let's replace them with spring flowers."
"Yes."
Su Ying was talking to Lian Zhi, when he saw Fei Yun walking in, and Lian Zhi said to Su Ying: "Su Ying, Yunxi said yesterday that you picked the best plum blossoms, why don't you go to the Imperial Garden and pick some for her to send over, and when the plum blossoms fall in a few days, she will be thinking about it again." ”
"The slave obeys." After Su Ying left, Lian Zhi asked Fei Yun, "But what's the news?" ”
Fei Yun stepped forward and replied, "Fang Ting said that Wan Zhaoyi wants to advance the plan. ”
"It's just that I've been idle for the past two days, and it's the end of solving some troublesome things." Lian Zhi asked again, "How is Imperial Doctor Xiaojing?" ”
"Doctor Xiaojing said that everything has been found."
"That's good." Lian Zhi looked at Wanmei on the table, this time, who would be unlucky?
At night, Wen Xize couldn't sleep, Li Sheng came in to look at it a few times, and couldn't help asking, "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?" ”
Wen Xize sat up: "Forget it, I won't be able to sleep for a while, you can go for a walk with me." ”
"The minions obey." Li Sheng replied.
Wen Xize walked aimlessly in the harem, and Li Sheng asked, "The emperor is worried about Miao Chang's affairs?" ”
"It's impossible to say that there is nothing at all, but I don't understand, she is already a permanent presence, why does Wan Zhaoyi still provoke her?" Wen Xize said, "Wan Zhaoyi was not such a person before. ”
"Your Majesty, the world in this palace is hot and cold, and the servants have seen too much."
"But how can Wan Zhaoyi be such a person?" Just as Wen Xize sighed, he suddenly smelled a burst of aroma, "What smell?" ”
"The minion seems to have smelled somewhere before, but can't remember." Li Sheng replied.
Wen Xize followed the aroma and came to the back gate of Zhongxin Palace, which was Concubine Rong's residence. I haven't been here for a long time, and Wen Xize was stunned for a moment.
At this moment, the back door of Zhongxin Palace opened, and a palace maid walked out, with many bottles and cans in a small basket in her hand.
Under a big tree at the back door, the palace maid poured all the powder in the bottles and jars at the root of the tree, and the aroma in the air became more and more intense. Obviously, this is what Wen Xize smelled just now.
After the palace maid finished pouring the incense powder, she was about to go back, Wen Xize walked out: "What are you doing?" ”
Qiqi hurriedly knelt down and saluted Wen Xize: "The emperor is safe." ”
"I ask you, what are you doing?"
"Back to the emperor, these are all incense powders developed by Niangniang."
"Concubine Rong?"
"Yes."
"Then why did you secretly dump these incense powders in the middle of the night?"
"Your Majesty, these incense powders are made of special flowers, so they have to be changed once every three months. But the mother made the incense powder and didn't use it, so she only let the slave and maid pour the incense powder when the time came. ”
Li Sheng suddenly spoke: "Your Majesty, the slave remembered, you once said that the smell and aroma of Concubine Rong's body attacked people, and since then, Concubine Rong has only used this kind of incense powder." ”
After Li Sheng's reminder, Wen Xize finally remembered, looking at the half-hidden back door, Wen Xize somehow raised his feet and walked in.
In the Buddhist hall, you can also hear Concubine Rong's chanting and the sound of knocking on the wooden fish.
Qin Ning walked in: "Niangniang, it's late at night, it's time for you to rest." ”
Concubine Rong didn't answer Qin Ning's words, but just continued her own business.
Qin Ning had no choice, so she stepped forward and shouted: "Niangniang, even if you pray for the emperor, you don't have to toss yourself so much, right?" ”
Hearing this, Concubine Rong finally stopped what she was doing, she looked at Qin Ning and explained: "As long as this palace recites and prays for the emperor, the emperor will definitely be safe." And the palace has not been quiet recently, and the palace has been thinking about it a lot, which can also dispel some bad luck. ”
"But Niangniang, no matter how many scriptures you recite, the emperor will not know."
"Praying for the emperor is something that this palace does willingly, and I have been here for more than ten years, and I have long been used to it. Now that the palace is clean here, it is very satisfying to chant and pray for the emperor every day. ”
Qin Ning seemed to be upset for Concubine Rong: "Your sincerity, even if the emperor can't see it for the rest of his life, doesn't it matter?" ”
Concubine Rong smiled softly: "It's good to have the emperor in the heart of this palace, the emperor has the world in his heart, and it doesn't matter if he can't see this palace." ”
"Who said I couldn't see it!" At this moment, Wen Xize pushed the door in, "What you did for me, I always remembered. ”
