After the aunt in charge finished speaking, Wen Xize was silent for a moment, and then looked at Concubine Shu, whose expression was a little gloomy, but she didn't say a word.

Wen Xi Zefu looked at the aunt in charge again: "Some time ago, Concubine Xian sent someone to you to get the sleep spices?" ”

"Take it, the slave maid reminded the palace maid many times of the matter at that time, and there was absolutely nothing to hide." The aunt in charge cried to Wen Xize, "Please let the emperor know!" ”

Wen Xize spoke: "Concubine Shu, do you think Concubine Xian is intentional or unintentional?" ”

Wen Xize threw this matter to Concubine Shu, and Concubine Shu replied: "Your Majesty, maybe the palace maid who went to make incense and get spices forgot to tell Concubine Xian these things that need attention, or maybe Concubine Xian didn't know that Concubine Xian was using soothing soup at that time. ”

"Concubine Xian must have known that you had difficulty falling asleep when she gave you sleep spices, with Concubine Xian's meticulousness, how could she not know that you were in the soup at that time?" Wen Xize said coldly, "You asked for her to be able to organize the Liufang banquet with you, but she is still so grateful." ”

"Your Majesty, the concubines feel that they can't just listen to one-sided words, it's better to wait for the virtuous concubine to wake up and ask, it's safe." Concubine Shu is not so stupid, she knows that Wen Xize is not completely emotionless for Concubine Xian, she just said those words in a hurry, if she continues to say it, it will also be because of Wen Xize's dissatisfaction with her.

Concubine Shu persuaded like this, and Wen Xize's anger calmed down a little: "You are still thoughtful." ”

Wen Xize glanced at the aunt in charge who was kneeling on the ground again: "Forget it, you go back first, I will summon you again if there is something." ”

"Yes." The aunt in charge breathed a sigh of relief and quickly retreated.

The palace people in the imperial dining room are still kneeling there, in the final analysis, this Liufang banquet is because of the food problem, no matter whose fault it is, the people in the imperial dining room can't escape. In other words, there must be someone to blame for this matter, but that person must not be a virtuous concubine.

At this moment, Xiao Quanzi came in and reported: "Your Majesty, the prince asks to see you." ”

Wen Zhiyu walked into the side hall, as if he couldn't feel the unusual atmosphere in the hall, and said: "Erchen has seen his father and the emperor, and he has seen the concubine. ”

"How's the situation outside the palace?" Wen Xize asked.

Wen Zhiyu replied: "Father, the son knows that this matter is more serious, so let the imperial doctor come back and return immediately, the situation outside the palace is not very good, the young ladies who participated in the Liufang banquet today have successively appeared with the virtuous concubine Niangniang type situation, and the son has asked the imperial doctor to go to various mansions for diagnosis and treatment." ”

"Pacify first." Wen Xize said again, "You must suppress this matter first, prince, this is a matter of royal face, and you must handle it personally." ”

"Erchen understands."

Wen Zhiyu didn't stay long, she retreated first, and after Wen Zhiyu left, Concubine Shu asked, "Your Majesty, why did you leave this matter to the prince?" ”

Wen Xize asked: "Do you think that Concubine Xian is the biological mother of the second prince, and this matter is handed over to Zhiyu to handle, and he is more dedicated?" ”

"The concubine is just a woman's opinion, if something is wrong, I hope the emperor will mention something or two."

"You have this thought, which proves that you are dedicated to the sake of Concubine Xian, but if this matter is left to the second prince, won't it make people think that there is a suspicion of cover-up?"

Concubine Shu followed Wen Xize's words and said: "But if the prince does it, others will only think that the emperor is impartial and fair." ”

"Yes, he always has to do his best for the royal family." Wen Xize's calculations have always been comprehensive, and the previous concubines would feel that Wen Xize took care of the overall situation, but after this incident, she deeply understood that Wen Xize was cold.

Concubine Shu covered her thoughts: "Your Majesty, this is approaching the court, you should take a nap while you have time, otherwise the concubine is afraid that you will not be able to hold on." ”

Wen Xize knew that there was no way to do these things urgently, and today's morning dynasty must be as usual, so as to stabilize people's hearts.

"Okay, I'll rest in the side hall for a while." Concubine Shu served Wen Xize and lay down, she did not leave, but kept guarding the side hall.

When Lianzhi woke up from his sleep, he found that it was already dark, and as soon as Lianzhi moved, Suyue hurried over.

"You've been on guard?"

"The prince specially told the slave maid to be sure to guard beside you, for fear that you would feel uncomfortable."

"What about the prince?" Renzhi no longer remembers how he fell asleep.

Su Yue replied: "The prince coaxed you to sleep, and left in a hurry, as if someone had gone back to the imperial dining room to find out something, and the prince rushed over." ”

When Lianzhi heard Su Yue say the word "coaxing", she felt a little strange in her heart, but she couldn't say what was strange.

Su Yue saw that Lianzhi didn't react to what she said, and thought that Lianzhi was still uncomfortable: "Crown Princess, are you still unwell, do you want to find a doctor to come and see you again." ”

Lian Zhi shook his head: "No need, Bengong's body is already fine." ”

"Crown princess, the slave maid serves you to get up and have some breakfast." Su Yue said, "Before leaving last night, the prince specially told the slave maid that he needed to prepare porridge to nourish his stomach for breakfast today. ”

Lianzhi looked at the sky: "At this hour, it should have been the next court, right?" ”

"Hmm." Su Yue replied, "The slave maid inquired that the emperor went to Chenyou Palace as soon as he went to the court, and the emperor really cared about Concubine Xian. ”

Lian Zhi smiled slightly: "This kind of 'caring' is what Concubine Xian is most afraid of now." ”

Su Yue didn't understand what Lianzhi meant, and Lianzhi didn't say anything more, these days, Wen Zhiyu was busy.

In the Chenyou Palace, Concubine Xian woke up slowly, and when she opened her eyes, she saw that it was Concubine Shu, and Concubine Shu asked with concern: "Sister Concubine Xian, are you okay, but there is anything uncomfortable?" ”

"Shufei, why are you here?" Concubine Xian was shocked.

"Why is Concubine Shu here? You still have the face to ask, causing such a big thing, so many people are cleaning up the mess for you. Wen Xize spoke, and Concubine Xian found Wen Xize sitting on the couch next to him.

Concubine Xian didn't know why: "Your Majesty, the concubines don't understand." ”

"Concubine Xian, your ice cake is good." Wen Xize spoke, "I hurt all the young ladies in the capital." ”

Concubine Xian looked confused: "Your Majesty, there will never be any problems with the ice cake." ”

"Concubine Xian, there is really no problem with the ice cake, but the people who buy it mix the glycine grass they need with the herb, which is why so many people eat the herb and cause physical discomfort." Shufei explained.

Concubine Xian's face turned even paler, she thought of her symptoms, if the women who participated in the Liufang banquet were like this, the consequences were not something she dared to imagine.

"Your Majesty, this matter is definitely not the work of the concubines, and the concubines don't know about such a thing as grass at all. Besides, the concubine herself also ate the ice cake, and all the nobles in the capital have accidents, what is the benefit of the concubine? Concubine Xian rolled over from the bed and knelt in front of Wen Xize and said bitterly.

Wen Xize listened to Concubine Xian's words, and his eyes became darker and darker: "Concubine Xian, no one said that you did it." But your first instinct is to excuse yourself, shouldn't you be concerned about the consequences of this first? ”

Concubine Xian was speechless, and Wen Xize spoke: "Concubine Xian, I have another thing I want to ask you. ”

"If the emperor has anything to ask, the concubines must know everything."

"Not long after I agreed to your assistance in the banquet, you immediately asked the Imperial Dining Room to change the menu, and the dishes were complete. I want to know, when did you start thinking about changing the menu for the feast? ”

Concubine Xian didn't speak, and Wen Xize continued to ask: "You should know that Concubine Shu has already set the menu, why do you have to spend time and effort doing this kind of useless work?" Or can you be sure that you'll be able to use this menu in the end? ”

Concubine Xian looked at Wen Xize, her pupils trembled: "Your Majesty, concubines, concubines, concubines, ......"

"I have asked the head of the incense making department that this sleeping spice must not be used at the same time as the soothing soup, and she is sure that she has told you about it to the palace maids who receive the spices."

"Your Majesty, the concubines don't know about this, you must believe the concubines." Concubine Xian went to pull the hem of Wen Xize's clothes, "It must be the person in charge who wants to shirk this matter and want to put the blame on the concubine." ”
