Chapter Seventy-Two: The Search of the Palace

"How?" Concubine Hua looked at Yuzhi who had just entered the door and asked.

"The slave maid gave Concubine Jia the original instructions according to Niangniang's instructions."

Concubine Hua nodded, indicating that she understood.

Yuzhi did not retreat, stepped forward and knelt on the edge of the collapse, and used her strength to massage Concubine Hua's calves.

remembered the dress of Concubine Jia that she had just seen outside the palace gate, and she described it to Concubine Hua with added fuel and vinegar, and her tone was full of ridicule.

Concubine Hua wanted to know Concubine Jia's swaggering appearance, and gritted her teeth, "The fox on the left and the fox on the right seduce the emperor all day long." ”

Yuzhi knew that Concubine Hua didn't like Concubine Jia, so she was even more puzzled.

"Niangniang doesn't like Concubine Jia, this is not a great opportunity to get rid of her." Why do you have to pull her?

Concubine Hua's eyes were ruthless, "This palace just wants Concubine Jia to eat coptis dumbly, and to accept this favor stubbornly." ”

Concubine Hua didn't want to get rid of Concubine Jia, she hated to eradicate all the women around the emperor, so that no one would compete with her.

It's just that she doesn't want to dirty her hands to rectify a low-class slut like Yu Qing, and she lowers her identity, and someone is used by her, which is also a help.

Concubine Jia is just a shield, she was hung at the gate of the palace for a long time today, presumably she was also extremely hateful, rather than letting her do unpredictable things in panic, if she sold her personal affection, Concubine Jia was to accept it, and she could not accept it.

"Niangniang is kind, I'm afraid that this concubine will not miss Niangniang's kindness."

"Hmph, and let her be proud for two days."

Today's events will make Concubine Jia understand how much power she has behind her, and if it happens, forgive her for taking pictures of her own family, and she will not dare to act rashly.

Here, Concubine Jia listened to Concubine Hua's instructions, and immediately went to Tsinghua Garden, telling her to clean her hands and feet, and not to be noticed.

He also sent someone to call the little eunuch on duty in the imperial study, so that as soon as there was news, he would immediately report to Changchun Palace.

That night, the imperial book was brightly lit, and Fu Ankang finally rushed back from Tsinghua Park with new progress.

The two Tai Hospital judges knelt in the hall, and Fu Ankang stepped forward to present the obtained things to the emperor for inspection.

It was a casserole, and the bottom of the pot was already black because it was often sitting on the fire, Xue Gui opened the lid of the pot, and there was a little residue inside.

"What is this?"

"Back to the emperor, this is the medicine pot that Concubine Zhen has been using to make fetal pills before giving birth." The hospital judge stepped forward to reply.

"But what did you find?"

"It is precisely that the amount of slippery tire powder, which is very small, is not enough to make a mother have a difficult birth."

The emperor frowned and motioned for the imperial doctor to continue.

"The amount of slippery tire powder in this medicine pot is very small, so small that even if you eat the same amount for seven days, it will not be anything, if an ordinary imperial doctor comes, you will not notice it at all."

"However, in the future, we found a similar amount of slippery tire powder in Concubine Zhen's daily meals, so a little in the soup, a little in the meal, and a little in the medicine will become a life-inducing thing."

The emperor's face was gloomy, and the storm was condensed in his eyes, such a ruthless method and scheming were extremely vicious.

"Happiness and well-being! I order you to search the harem and not let go of anything suspicious. The emperor shouted sharply, he wanted to see who in this harem had such good skills.

"Minister, obey!" Fu Ankang's face is not very good, if it weren't for Yu Qing's proposal to inspect the food, and the emperor specially sent the court to judge it, no one would be able to find the problem in the meal, and the person behind it was really vicious.

Fu Ankang took the order and turned to leave.

At the same time, the little eunuch waiting for the tea outside the imperial study took advantage of the stomach ache to hand the tea cup to the colleague beside him, turned around and quickly disappeared into the night.

"Open the door, open the door." A little eunuch outside the Changchun Palace knocked on the knocker.

Xiuchun heard the knock on the door and came out to see that it was the little eunuch on duty in the imperial study that day.

"Why are you here, but there's news?" Xiuchun looked around carefully, and when he saw that no one had noticed, he asked in a low voice.

The little eunuch nodded hurriedly and told Xiuchun what happened in the imperial study.

Listening to his muttering description, Xiuchun hurriedly took out a few pieces of broken silver from his arms.

"This is the mother's reward, remember, you have not been to Changchun Palace tonight." And he sent him away.

"Niangniang, they found slippery tire powder, and Lord Fu is taking the imperial guards to search the palace." Back in the house, Xiuchun hurriedly returned to Concubine Jia.

When Concubine Jia heard this, she was not in a hurry, and took out a bag of things from the cabinet of the dressing table and handed it to Xiuchun.

"Go ahead and put this in that little slut's house." This little slut is naturally referring to more than Qing.

The slippery tire powder given to Concubine Zhen by the two maids in Tsinghua Garden was indeed given by her, but it was only that packet, even if she was searched, she was not worried.

It's just that Concubine Jia had long expected this one, and deliberately ordered someone to prepare one, just now, how could she not seize such a good opportunity, this time it will definitely make the disaster go away.

Xiuchun was ordered to go to the sunny place, bought off the little palace maid who sprinkled the sweep, handed over the slippery tire powder to her, ordered her to put it in the bedroom, and gave some instructions, and then went back to pay the errand with confidence.

Such a large-scale palace search is unprecedented, and it makes the people of the harem panic for a while.

The queen didn't care if she would make the emperor angry, so she hurriedly rushed to the imperial study to dissuade her.

On the way, I saw a group of people walking towards the imperial study from a distance, and after a little thought, he immediately stopped, pretending to have just come out of the imperial study.

"The old slave see the queen mother." The person who came was an old woman, who saw the queen's rules and salutes.

"Mama Li, get up." This person is the queen mother's henchman, and the queen also has to give 100,000 thin noodles.

Seeing her in a hurry, it was expected that she must have come by the order of the Queen Mother, and as for the purpose, it should be the same as herself.

"The queen has been in there?"

Seeing Mama Li asking, the queen didn't say anything, just sighed, her face was full of sadness, and she looked helpless, Mama Li immediately thought that it was the queen who dissuaded the emperor, but she was wronged, thinking about how to go back to the queen mother.

"The night is heavy, the queen mother will go back to the palace first, if she hurts the phoenix body, the queen mother is also worried." Mama Li sighed in her heart, although the queen mother is in a high position, she does not have a son and a half daughter, and the queen mother is also in a hurry.

"I'm tired of Mama Li, this palace will go to the emperor tomorrow morning to say goodbye, you can go in quickly." The queen showed a soft smile and was dignified.

"Yes, the old slave is retired." As he spoke, he entered the imperial study.

The queen stood in place, looking at the closed door of the imperial study, a smile on the corner of her mouth, the arm with the finger guard was slightly raised, and the palace people immediately supported her with colored bent arms.

"Why didn't the mother go in when she arrived?" Tinglan asked.

The queen smiled, and went in to ask the emperor for disgust, "This noble person, it's not simple, why should this palace be on the emperor's head and touch the moldy head." ”

Do you really think that the turmoil in the palace is all because of the dead Concubine Zhen? Yes, but not so much.

Coming to the imperial study is to hinder the position of the master of the middle palace, and to be a virtuous example, otherwise how to serve the mouth of a hundred officials.

Now that someone is helping her to share the burden, why bother to go into battle in person, the Queen Mother has come forward, if it still doesn't work, what's the use of her going.

Fu Ankang took a pair of guards to search the palace, but so far he has found nothing, but he went to Concubine Hua and was a little blocked, but he didn't find anything.

Now that she has arrived in the Changchun Palace, Concubine Jia has been waiting in the house for a long time, and politely welcomed Fu Ankang in.

"Concubine Jia, the lower officials are ordered by the emperor to search the harem, I am afraid that I will be offended." Fu Ankang bowed.

"Where is it, Lord Fu is also acting on orders, and this palace is self-purifying, and it will not embarrass you."

Concubine Jia smiled, watching the guards search the palace and still calm and relaxed, Fu Ankang was puzzled by such an attitude.

However, after some searching, as before, no was found.

Fu Ankang was about to say goodbye, but Concubine Jia stopped him.

"I wonder if Lord Fu's search order can include the noble people?" Concubine Jia looked at Fu Ankang and frowned, sneered in her heart, and waited patiently for Fu Ankang to enter the set.

"Over ...... Qing Guiren is good friends with Concubine Zhen, and he has been taking care of him before giving birth, and he will not do such a vicious thing. Fu Ankang used to call Yu Qing's name, and almost blurted out, looked at the person in front of him, and changed his words quietly.

"I'm afraid that's not right, Fu-sama." Concubine Jia raised the silk handkerchief to cover her mouth and nose and chuckled.

"How can you avoid a person's suspicion because you made friends before you died, since it was a palace search, why did you take it out alone, is it unfair?"

"What do you mean by this?" Fu Ankang looked at Concubine Jia, and his tone was no longer as respectful as he was at the beginning.

"Don't misunderstand Lord Fu, this palace believes that Qing Guiren will not do such a rebellious thing, but I am afraid that someone will criticize Lord Fu for favoritism and fraud, after all, Concubine Zhen's diet during her lifetime was mostly through the hands of Qing Guiren......"

Concubine Jia looked at Fu Ankang's face, and the corners of her forehead were already bruised, and she accepted it when she saw it, "If Lord Fu goes to ask the emperor, presumably the emperor will not object." ”

Fu Ankang glanced at Concubine Jia, her thin lips were pursed, her eyes were dark, and she didn't say anything more, she turned around and retired.

He and the emperor really didn't want to search Yuqing's bedroom, but now Concubine Jia is frequently attacking, which makes him have a bad premonition, but he also sent someone to ask the emperor.

The emperor didn't take it seriously, what Concubine Jia said was reasonable, if she wanted to investigate, she would investigate, both of them believed that Yu Qing would not do such a thing, and it would be regarded as an explanation to the rest of the palace.

But there was also some faint worry in his heart, so he got up and drove to the Yuqing Palace.

Yu Qing saw that Fu Ankang was coming, followed by a pair of guards, mighty, I don't know what to do?

Before he could speak, Fu Ankang explained by himself, and they were quite comforting.

"Concubine Zhen's food is indeed problematic, the imperial doctor found out the slippery tire powder, the emperor ordered me to search the harem, for the sake of fairness, you also have to go through the motions here."

Yu Qing nodded, why not, opened the door of the house, and let the guards go in to search.

While picking up the little prince, while showing Fu Ankang, recently he was finally willing to drink the milk of his grandmother, after all, human milk is good for babies, looking at the little prince's increasingly white and tender face, Yu Qing was also very happy.

As he was talking, the emperor came, and Fu Ankang and Yu Qing saluted one after another.

"Why is the emperor here?" Yu Qing asked.

"I'll take a look." As he spoke, he raised the tassel on the Buddhist bead in his hand and teased the little prince in Yu Qing's arms.

After a while, a guard stepped forward and took a cautious look at Yu Qing.
