Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Turning Pot

He watched the emperor drive away, put down the splendid handkerchief that wiped the corners of his eyes, and looked at Mu Biwei: "Sister Mu, this matter is big, and I would like to invite Sister Mu to the side hall to talk about it?" ”

Mu Bi stroked the top of Ji Hao's head slightly, also collected her tears, thought for a moment, and nodded and said, "Kai Lang, you go back first." "Also called Xiping and Xintai, "Don't go back to Fengyang Palace first, now that something like this has happened, you can't help but put your homework first...... Accompany the ...... first"

Princess Xiping and Princess Xintai just cried, different from the perfunctory scene of He and Mu Biwei, in the end, it was her own grandmother, and the Empress Dowager Gao did not love her granddaughter like a treasure, in the end, it was also a pain in her heart, especially before Ji Hui was born, the Queen Mother had always been good to her two granddaughters, and at this moment she was about to nod after listening to Mu Biwei's advice, she didn't want Mu Biwei to mutter, and then she changed her words, and said: "Don't go back to Changjin Palace, and accompany your eldest brother and second brother with your two sisters." ”

and asked Ah Shan to accompany him personally.

Princess Xintai was stunned for a moment, and immediately knelt down and said, "Erchen thanked the mother concubine on behalf of the second brother." "Ji Hui and Ji Heng were raised under the knees of the Queen Mother, and when the Queen Mother was alive, they were raised for just one thing, and now the Queen Mother is gone...... Seeing that Ji Shen didn't even have time to take care of the affairs of the Queen Mother, the two brothers were left in this unpresided Ganquan Palace, not to mention the side, just knowing that her grandmother was afraid of this in her heart, it was enough to make Princess Xintai feel uneasy, after all, the eldest son of the emperor Ji Hui was only six years old......

Mu Biwei obviously took this into account, so she changed her plan to let Ji Kai return to the Chenglian Palace.

"Go ahead." Mu Biwei didn't have the heart to say anything to her now, so she just nodded.

He raised his eyebrows, and also instructed Ji Wei: "You can go too." ”

"The son is worried about his father." Ji Wei lowered his eyes and said softly at this moment.

He Shi was unmoved, and said lightly: "Your father is now discussing matters with Nie Shizhong and Qin Tianjian, you are afraid that it will be inconvenient in the past, so let's go with your brothers and sisters first!" ”

Ji Wei couldn't disobey, so he had to make a salute and take it out by the peach leaf.

The two of them found a room in the palace - because the queen mother was new, and the An family was not a very capable person, and Fang Cai and the waiters in the palace were also killed by Ji Shen...... This will be a mess everywhere, He first ordered people to close the palace gate on the road, leaving only the corner door to enter and exit, and ordered the six palaces not to make noise, Mu Biwei reminded her that the death knell was about to ring......

The two of them walked all the way and gave orders, and the house was cleaned up at will, and then they hurriedly discussed the funeral of the Queen Mother: "Your Majesty didn't give the charter, the inner secretary left, Lei Mo just went to work, Your Majesty did not appoint a new eunuch, Cen Ping may not be able to take this responsibility, how to deal with this matter?" ”

Ho was very troubled.

Mu Bi shook his head slightly and said, "It's not a matter of funeral regulations now...... As soon as the death knell sounded, the ministers ordered all the women to enter the palace to mourn, and the mourning hall didn't get it up at that time. After thinking for a while, he said, "The relationship between the prince of Rongchang County and the lady of Wuying County and the queen mother is extraordinary, so I have to see each other again...... Concubine Wen is also ...... As for the regulation of nicknames...... Let's go back and ask. ”

"The Queen Mother has always been a big deal, and the people who presided over the funeral were all from the Ministry of Rites." He Shi glanced at her and said calmly, "This is what worries me!" Now His Majesty has asked us to deal with it with the Inner Division, do you want the ministers to come to mourn, the Inner Division will welcome us or let's welcome us? The death of the Queen Mother is a state affair! Shall our two concubines be the masters? ”

Reminded by her, Mu Bi frowned slightly, but said, "But now if Your Majesty goes to ask, it will probably be no good thing." ”

"That's why I'm going to consult with you, what do you say about this?" He spread his hands and said, "Regardless of the impossibility of losing the Queen Mother, Your Majesty will leave such a sentence to explain, and the Ministry of Rites will not take over for fear of being angry, and then the former dynasty will definitely say that we are two foxes and charming gentlemen, and even the funeral of the Queen Mother is ......."

"I have an idea." Mu Biwei simply interrupted her and said, "Hurry up and invite the Duke of Rongchang and Mrs. Wuyingjun!" ”

He groaned: "Please?" ”

"Let them go and talk to Your Majesty, the funeral ceremony of the Queen Mother turned out to be handled by the concubine and the internal secretary, and the Ministry of Rites did not come forward...... Is the Gao family very embarrassed? Mu Biwei said with an indifferent face, "Why should we go up and touch the mold by ourselves?" ”

He thought for a moment, nodded and said, "That's fine." ”

At that moment, the Xu family understood and went out to find someone to ask someone to the Gao family Su family to ask for someone.

Mu Biwei looked left and right, and said, "You go first, and the waiters of the Yidian are not much left now, and the helpers have replaced all the ones that should be replaced, and the inner division is ...... Filial piety clothes do it first! ”

He also sent the people around him, only the two of them were left in the room, their faces were very ugly, Mu Biwei asked first: "How did the Queen Mother come about?" What kind of poison is it? ”

"Snake venom!" He Shi said briefly, "Otherwise, why would it be necessary for Ren Yangkuan to use the golden needle puncture point to force the poison?" ”

Mu Bi was slightly stunned and said, "This snake venom ......"

"Naturally, he was bitten by a snake." He sneered and said, "I guess that's the case-yesterday, didn't the prince of Guangling invite someone to patrol the building, and later ordered the wrong incense in the side hall, and a group of people called the hatred incense to go down?" At that time, although you said that the scene was not too chaotic, but later you carried them all to the couch, asked the imperial doctor, and looked at them one by one...... Think about it, last night, he was put down by Lihan Xiang, according to his age, Lou Xun, he was unconscious, the eldest princess of Xuanning, Ouyang Shi Niang, Lou Tou, and the Queen Mother all had to pay attention, and below was the prince of Guangling, so the king of Guangling and the princess naturally couldn't get out, Ji Hui and Ji Heng were raised under the knees of the queen mother, and besides, they were His Majesty's own blood and blood, and it was impossible to look forward to their death if they didn't like it! Not to mention your sweetheart baby! And Ji Wei, I can't help but be pretentious......"

She exhaled and was about to continue, when Mu Bi's eyes moved slightly, and her face sank: "At that time, someone took advantage of the chaos to let the snake in?" ”

"It's the beginning of April, and the sting has long passed, and it's not strange that snakes and insects are infested, but the temple is sprinkled with medicinal powder all around, and people are watching it every day." He sneered and said, "This snake appeared in the dormitory, and anyone would think that someone was plotting to kill the Queen Mother, but this time it was different...... It was a white snake. ”

Mu Biwei was silent for a moment, and then said: "Before the prince of Guangling went upstairs to patrol, he first came to me to find Yu Lang, and then to Ji Wei to talk about the story of the tower patrol, and then Ji Wei personally came to find Yu Lang, and I proposed to also call Ji Hui and Ji Heng, which is also for their brothers to get closer...... That Ji Yue spent a lot of effort, just to let Yu Lang entangle Ji Hui and Ji Heng first, after all, Ji Hui and Ji Heng are ashamed of themselves, it is not strange that they are reluctant to leave their seats, because it is a family banquet, and in front of the Queen Mother, their seat is not far from the Queen Mother, if there is a dispute, the Queen Mother and Your Majesty will definitely notice it immediately, and the Queen Mother will also pay it back, Your Majesty naturally wants to be partial, so that there is a dispute, most of the Lou Xun will refuse, even if they agree, they must find another venue, so as not to lead to right and wrong, Qu Jiadou is in such a circle is nothing more than to order the wrong incense...... At the family banquet, a group of Lang Jun were unconscious, although they knew that they had ordered the wrong incense, they didn't worry...... It's not surprising to take advantage of the chaos in the palace to let the snake into the palace, but what is strange to me is that only the queen mother was bitten? ”

He said contemptuously: "There must be only the Queen Mother...... You know! ”

"Only the Queen Mother...... There are so many tricks in the family! Mu Bi muttered slightly.

"Well, in fact, when I came, I happened to bump into Your Majesty, who had just arrived, and followed Your Majesty into the lower dormitory, but I saw some clues." He Shi tapped his chin with his index finger, and asked with a cold look in his eyes, "Do you remember that when you entered the palace, you were embarrassed by me, and you didn't drink the pot of wine in the light pavilion?" ”

Mu Biwei looked at her.

He continued: "Turn the heart pot! ”

"Huh?" Mu Bi frowned slightly, "I've heard that this pot is said to be able to hold wine on one side and water on the other......"

"I have one." He Shi said simply, "That's how you were prepared in the Xiguang Pavilion back then!" After a pause, she continued, "This kind of pot looks the same as an ordinary pot, but if you look closely, you can see that there are some differences...... There is such a one not far from the couch! ”

Mu Bi pursed her lips slightly: "You mean?" ”

"Although last night was extremely chaotic, it is not without people who have nothing to do with themselves." He Shi said softly, "For example, King Anping, and for example, the eldest concubine and the little concubine...... Take advantage of the chaos to clip a snake, or a poisonous snake, aren't you afraid of being bitten yourself? So I think, I'm afraid that the white snake has already been put into the Queen Mother's bedroom, or even in front of the Queen Mother, but the Queen Mother doesn't know! ”

He said slowly: "This season is the time to eat cherries, your family's love for cherries is already famous in the six palaces, then again, there are probably few people in the palace who don't like to eat cherries from the queen mother to the palace!" Cherry ...... It is best to make frozen cheese, of course, it will be hot or not, and it will be very interesting to eat frozen drinks...... The Queen Mother is in good health, if that pot is a ...... for cold drinks."

Mu Bi's face changed slightly: "The habit in the palace, cold drinks are to be taken cold, snakes like warmth, when it is cold, they will stiffen and do not move......"

"If it moves, if the Queen Mother hears that there is a foreign object in it, can she still hide it?" He said contemptuously, "And turn your heart...... The snake is empty on the one hand, and the cold drink is filled to freeze it, and the snake is not very easy to die...... Usually only the side with cold drinks, there is no need to bring additional snakes into the temple last night, just take advantage of the busy situation, someone goes in and spins the mechanism...... Let the side with the snake open ......"

Mu Bi took a slight breath: "Then, because there is still a cold drink on the other side, even if the exit is opened, the snake can't leave for the time being......" After a pause, she muttered, "Although the Queen Mother has people keeping vigil, they are all outside the dormitory, and in the dormitory, there is only one person after the Queen Mother is placed......"

"It's not very hot at the moment, it's cold at night, and the Queen Mother will definitely not drink cold drinks." He analyzed, "The most terrible thing is - yesterday's family banquet!" She snorted coldly, "The Queen Mother is not as energetic as before now!" For this family dinner, I deliberately slept a little more that day! You want to have a family banquet, but because the Lang Jun were put down by the hateful incense, they dispersed in advance...... Dowager...... Can you sleep? ”

Since I can't sleep, and now it's not when Concubine Wen is still in the palace, the Queen Mother has no one to speak, so she can only light incense to help her sleep, maybe it's just to leave the hatred incense...... Although it is not as good as a brazier, the temperature in the room is always slightly higher...... After being frozen for a few days, the snake was finally able to move, where was it willing to stay in the pot? What's more, the heart of the pot is covered, there is only one way out of the pot mouth, and it is not a big pot, where can it not come out?

After coming out, the great dormitory ...... Only the Queen Mother is alone...... Originally, there were many legends in the mountains and wilderness that snakes were afraid of cold, and even took the initiative to burrow into people and animals to keep warm when they were frozen, so as to prevent freezing......

The Queen Mother also lit incense to help you sleep...... was able to survive until the morning when An's found out that something was wrong, and then urgently called Ren Yangkuan to come over to administer the needle...... It can be seen that the snake is not very venomous...... Wrong!

Mu Bi narrowed her eyes slightly: "The Queen Mother was bitten when she got up in the morning?" "The white snake is afraid of the cold, and after swimming out of the heart-turning pot, he instinctively wants to find a warm place to stay...... I'm afraid I will find the Empress Dowager Gao, but if it bites the Empress Dowager in the middle of the night, although Mu Biwei doesn't know much about snake nature, she also knows that the Qu family is now a ruin - you have to kill the Empress Dowager!

How could it be possible to give the Queen Mother a chance to live and choose a snake that is not very venomous?

Therefore...... I'm afraid that the white snake is extremely poisonous, but it has not been trained to bite, so it just instinctively snuggled up to the queen mother to keep warm...... As a result, in the morning, An came in to serve the Queen Mother to get up, and the Queen Mother made a move...... This frightened the White Snake - bitten the Queen Mother!

White Snake ...... The composer really put his heart into it!

He Shi smiled and said, "Otherwise, how can you get Ren Yangkuan to come over?" ”

The two glanced at each other, and they knew each other tacitly - Ren Yangkuan was very good at medicine, and it was impossible to make a ghost in front of him...... He has the secret protection of the Su family, and it is difficult to assassinate, and it is easy to have an accident...... But Ren Yangkuan has one of the biggest weaknesses that cannot be avoided - he is old.

Ren Yangkuan is older than the Queen Mother......

It's not that he can't solve the poison of the white snake, but he is too old to support a long time of needles!

This time the Queen Mother was bitten by a snake, and the Yidian only thought of Ren Yangkuan from top to bottom, and she didn't think of the imperial doctor next to her, and the imperial doctor next to her was not summoned or come over, after all, the queen mother didn't need them at all...... They rushed over and were also suspected of showing their faces in front of the Queen Mother, although Ren Yangkuan was not a court judge, but he didn't even dare to slack off on the court sentence...... Who would want to compete with him for favor?

In this way, once Ren Yangkuan is tired, there is no other imperial doctor here, and the Empress Dowager Gao ...... How do you live?

Mu Biwei suddenly smiled: "I'm afraid that the Queen Mother can hold Ren Yangkuan's arrival, and it may not be that Ren Yangkuan arrives quickly!" ”

She said thoughtfully, "The reason why I suddenly called back to Qilang yesterday was because Jiao's and Dai's were uncomfortable after using cold drinks!" ”

He Shi smiled, was silent for a moment, and said, "Now that I'm busy here, if they are uncomfortable...... If you have time, why don't you check it out? Otherwise, if it's really bad, the Queen Mother won't be able to cry, I'm afraid it's not good? ”

Mu Biwei looked at her: "Before I go, I want to remind you - Xiping's biological mother Jiang!" ”

He was stunned for a moment, thoughtful.

Count the front pit with the finger tip......

The pit of Lou Xun's marriage has been filled, and the incense of hatred has also been used again, and now it is Jiang Jiang's turn......

What are the pitfalls?

I dug too much, except for the main line pit, I can't remember it myself......

Some of them are quick to mention! lest you forget......
