Empress Dowager Zhong still can't figure it out, in this palace, who has a blood feud with Mingzhu will make such a big effort to deal with Mingzhu.

Soon, there was detailed news from Gonggong Wan.

The housekeeping of the palace is in charge of Concubine Bai Xian, and the Seven Star Camellia and Peony Astragalus are only cultivated in the flower room.

Originally, Concubine Bai Xian wanted the peony astragalus to give Gu Fanghua, and the seven-star camellia to Concubine Li, or Concubine Li took the initiative to say that the princess was beautiful and fragrant, and sent it to Qingzhi Hall together.

Empress Dowager Zhong was silent, Concubine Li had no grudge against Gu Fanghua, and she had no motive to harm others.

Moreover, these two kinds of flowers are mutually reinforcing, and even the judgment of the Zhou Court does not know, and it is impossible for Li Concubine, a native of Beijing, to know.

"Someone, go and call Concubine Li over, and try her at the mourning family. Mingzhu, you go back and rest first. ”

Empress Dowager Zhong is not a flamboyant character on weekdays, but it is about Mingzhu and her reverse scales. She must let people know that anyone who dares to attack Mingzhu is dead!

Emperor Hong Zheng got the news and came over quickly.

"Queen Mother, someone in the palace is attacking Mingzhu?"

Empress Dowager Zhong said indignantly: "Yes, emperor." The mourning family has always cared about the affairs of the harem, and they are not willing to obstruct the eyes of others, and the two mothers-in-law and grandchildren depend on each other for their lives, who is this provoking whom? ”

"Don't worry, Queen Mother, take a sip of tea first, and let me take care of it."

Emperor Hong Zheng was busy persuading him, and then analyzed carefully: "Queen Mother, these little five and little six, I have already given marriage, and they have nothing to do with Mingzhu, it won't be because of them." Besides, now in the palace, only Concubine Bai Xian has the highest rank, and she has no reason to harm Mingzhu. ”

"The mourning family knows, and the mourning family can't figure it out. Emperor, the major affairs of the country will not be difficult for you, you must take care of the mourning family. ”

Empress Dowager Zhong's unreasonable appearance provoked the emperor to chuckle: "Don't worry, the Empress Dowager will definitely seek justice for Mingzhu." ”

Emperor Hong Zheng silently muttered: "Concubine Xian has no motive, so who has the motive?" Who is Mingzhu hindering? Or is it in the way of whom? Doesn't seem to have any, right? ”

"Yes, the mourning family is also puzzled."

Empress Dowager Zhong has already analyzed that Mingzhu is a princess, and she has nothing to do with Sheji, and no one will deal with her. And several princes have given concubines, and no one will have a bad relationship with Mingzhu without passing through the door.

As for Concubine Bai Xian, she has always been cautious, and she is not a person who does such things without any benefit.

If it is said that the existence of Mingzhu hinders anyone's eyes, it can only be someone who wants to marry Xiao Yao. But with the daughter of a little Anningbo, it is not enough to call the wind and rain in the palace.

Emperor Hong Zheng thought for a while and said to Empress Dowager Zhong: "If something happens to Mingzhu, the only one who will benefit may be Xiao Yao's future wife." Do you know who wants to marry Xiao Yao? ”

"I know, Yan Ruxun likes her grandniece, that is, the daughter of An Ningbo, who seems to be surnamed Yuan."

Empress Dowager Zhong felt that it couldn't be Yuan Yunwen, but other people who couldn't find it and could doubt it could only dig in this direction.

Emperor Hong Zheng pursed his lips and said displeasedly: "What? Yan Ruxin is still eating in the bowl and looking at the pot? What about Xiao Yao? Also wobbly? ”

"Not really. Xiao Yao is a good boy, but Yan Ruxun is a little twisted. She couldn't suppress her son's concubine back then, and now she is afraid that the pearl will pass through the door in the future, she can't play prestige, and she always wants to find someone who can handle it. ”

Empress Dowager Zhong will not talk nonsense, but seek truth from facts.

Emperor Hong Zheng also felt strange and wondered: "Queen Mother, is there still an enemy in the palace for Mingzhu?" ”

"It shouldn't be possible, it's just a pearl to be full of pearls, and I have had a few quarrels with the noble Qi. She doesn't have this ability either, the most important thing is that Concubine Li is a smart person, it shouldn't be her. ”

Empress Dowager Zhong's words, Emperor Hong Zheng quickly grasped the point.

"Concubine Li? What's the matter with Guan Lifei? ”

Empress Dowager Zhong explained: "Originally, the two pots of flowers were non-toxic when placed separately, but the two pots were relatively rare when placed together, which would produce a toxic taste." Concubine Xian only expected to send peony astragalus, but Concubine Li suggested that the two pots be together. ”

Emperor Hong Zheng and Empress Dowager Zhong were both killed in the harem.

You know, there is not a word of nonsense in the harem. Concubine Li doesn't necessarily tie up Mingzhu on weekdays, and suddenly flattering Mingzhu like this, she feels like a traitor or a thief.

"What about lotus seeds?"

Empress Dowager Zhong frowned and said: "We are still investigating layer by layer to see if there is a problem there, or if there is a problem with procurement." ”

Emperor Hong Zheng, you also feel tricky, I really can't think of who will poison Mingzhu. When Emperor Hong Zheng was talking to Empress Dowager Zhong, Concubine Li came over.

Dongchun came in and reported: "The Empress Dowager Qi, Concubine Li has arrived." ”

Empress Dowager Zhong looked at Emperor Hong Zheng, saw that he nodded, and said, "Let her come in, and the others stay outside." ”

Dongchun invited Concubine Li in, she was still a little frightened, and when she saw that Emperor Hong Zheng was also there, her heart was hanging, and there was no bottom.

"The concubine has seen the Queen Mother, the emperor, may the Queen Mother be blessed and safe, long live the emperor, long live the emperor!"

Empress Dowager Zhong stood on the throne and said lightly: "Get up." ”

Concubine Li trembled and stood up in the hall in a regular manner, waiting for Empress Dowager Zhong's inquiry.

"Concubine Li, the mourning family heard that Concubine Xian originally arranged to put the Seven Star Camellia in your palace, and you took the initiative to give it to Mingzhu. Is there such a thing? ”

Concubine Li bowed her head and replied: "Yes, the concubine thinks that the princess is a golden branch and jade leaf, since there is only one pot of Seven Star Mountain Tea, it is natural to give it to Princess Mingzhu." ”

Empress Dowager Zhong looked at Concubine Li with a smile and chuckled: "Then the mourning family also wants to thank you for your love for Mingzhu!" ”

"The concubine just does what she thinks in her heart, and she deserves to be praised by the Queen Mother."

Concubine Li still couldn't figure out the situation, so she had to carefully follow the Empress Dowager Zhong's words, and her eyes glanced at Emperor Hong Zheng from time to time, hoping that he could prompt whether it was a good thing or a bad thing.

Emperor Hong Zheng saw that Concubine Li was frightened, and felt some pity.

"Concubine Li doesn't have to be afraid, I and the Queen Mother just want to know. The idea of giving the Seven Star Mountain Tea to Mingzhu is it you or someone else. The stakes are high, Concubine Li, you have to tell the truth. ”

Hearing that Emperor Hong Zheng was so cautious, Concubine Li didn't dare to hide it.

A quick guess in my heart: What is wrong with the Seven Star Camellia? Or does the Queen Mother want to see her attitude?

In the end, Li Concubine decided: do not seek merit, but seek no fault.

"Back to the Queen Mother and the Emperor, this is indeed not the original idea of the concubine. The concubine originally liked Wei Zi, but in the palace of Concubine Xian, the concubine didn't like the seven-star camellia that Concubine Xian gave to her concubine. Zhao Xian suggested that Princess Mingzhu loves flowers, so it is better to transfer the Seven Star Camellia to the princess. ”

Empress Dowager Zhong and Emperor Hong Zheng exchanged a look, and they both felt that Concubine Li should be telling the truth.

"Who is Zhao Xian?"

Concubine Li hurriedly replied: "Back to the Queen Mother, Zhao Xian is the chief eunuch in the concubine's palace. ”

Empress Dowager Zhong couldn't remember who Zhao Xian was, so she only wrote down this name, and the other Wangong Guilds went to investigate. Now, every clue must be carefully pursued.
