Chapter 63: Three Birds with One Stone
"Then Sister Jiafei, go and arrange it!" Concubine Hua nodded approvingly and said.
After the discussion, Concubine Jia left Concubine Hua's bedroom, and then let a few of her henchmen install a few people, and followed the team sent by the emperor to wait for Concubine Zhen, and went to Tsinghua Garden together.
"Why did the emperor send so many people to Tsinghua Garden?" Yu Qing looked at this mighty group of people and sighed speechlessly.
"We are appointed by the emperor to serve Concubine Zhen!" The leading eunuch of the assigned people replied.
"But there are already a lot of palace people in this Tsinghua Garden, and there are so many people here all of a sudden, how to distribute it, you should be assigned to do something." Yu Qing looked at this group of people and felt that her head was very big.
Seeing this, Concubine Zhen covered her mouth and chuckled, and then said jokingly: "Sister Yuqing, you are worried about how to arrange such individuals, if you marry someone in the future and marry into your husband's family, if there are many people in that person's family, there will be many people to serve, and you will be the housewife when the time comes, I will see how you arrange them!" ”
"Oh, Concubine Zhen, you're still kidding me! You don't say help me think about what they are going to do! When Yu Qing heard Concubine Zhen say that she was married, she hurriedly blushed.
She hasn't thought about marrying someone in this ancient world, and she hasn't thought about what kind of person she wants to marry, but if there are many people in a family like Concubine Zhen said, she will definitely not marry.
It's not easy to be a housewife in that kind of family, there are too many people who interfere, it's very annoying, and Yu Qing yearns for the kind of small family in modern society, a couple for a lifetime.
Concubine Zhen saw that she was shy, so she stopped talking about this topic.
Thinking that Yuqing is still an unmarried little girl after all, it's always bad to say this. But I'm not young, and it's time to plan to get up.
When the time comes, help Yu Qing find a good family for her to marry and live a happy life for a lifetime.
"Okay, although there are many people, but this Tsinghua Garden is big, what's so difficult about assigning work! I said, you learn, you will get married in the future, and you will do and arrange such things, do you hear? Concubine Zhen admonished.
"Concubine Zhen, why are you still talking!" Yu Qing said with a red face.
"Good, good! Needless to say, there are five of you who are in charge of the garden and the lake, and are responsible for cleaning. Five people are in charge of patrolling professions, and then two palace maids go to the kitchen to help, the kind that can cook and chop vegetables.
The last rest is the father-in-law who is responsible for following Tsinghua Park! Well, that's it! Concubine Zhen looked at these people and arranged them one by one.
Everyone immediately saluted and shouted: "Slaves obey orders, Concubine Xie Zhen!" ”
"Alright, let's all retire and work!" Concubine Zhen waved her hand and said, a group of people were in front of her, and it was very annoying to watch.
Everyone hurriedly retreated to do their own things, and the two palace maids who went to help in the kitchen happened to be the people arranged by Concubine Jia, and they were happy in their hearts, and it was just convenient to do it.
So I first observed the time of the two meals, paying attention to what dishes were specially for Concubine Zhen to make up for her body and she ate alone, and then which bowls and chopsticks were used by Concubine Zhen, and what time period would be specially made for Concubine Zhen's soup.
After figuring out this, the two palace maids began to do it, adding a little poison to it every day.
Originally, it should have been added to the daily meal, but the two palace maids felt that Concubine Jia was just letting herself harm Concubine Zhen, so she couldn't just poison others again.
Otherwise, it is too contrary to conscience, which hurts people in the future, when they go to Huangquan Road, what should they do if they find themselves to settle accounts.
It's just a pity that Concubine Zhen Niangniang......
But if you don't hurt it, then your little life will be gone, if you go to Huangquan Road in the future and ask Concubine Zhen, it will also be wronged and the debtor will have the owner, let her go to Concubine Jia, it has nothing to do with herself.
One day, when Yu Qing came to the kitchen to see what dishes were prepared, she felt that something was wrong. This soup should smell sweet, but now that it smells, there is always a smell of medicine.
Yu Qing felt that it was very undesirable to have a medicinal smell, and then smelled other dishes, some of which were specially made for Concubine Zhen's mother, all of which had the same medicinal smell, very light, and could be said to be nothing.
Some dishes are specially made for themselves in the kitchen, which does not have the slightest medicinal taste.
There must be something wrong with that.
Yu Qing thought to herself, could it be that someone wanted to harm Concubine Zhen, specially poisoning this meal, wanting to poison Concubine Zhenniang a little bit, so that she would have two lives?
The more she thought about it, the more scared she became, Yu Qing recalled that she was punished by the emperor for kneeling and suffering from heat stroke, and the medicine prescribed by the imperial doctor was always not good, that is, a palace maid poisoned herself, and that palace maid also added a little medicine every day to try to kill herself.
Thinking of this, Yu Qing was very afraid that Concubine Zhen would be killed, so she hurriedly said that Concubine Zhen wanted to eat the meals she cooked, threw out these meals, and made them for Concubine Zhen to eat herself.
Yu Qing stared at the whole process, not pretending to others, and paying attention, for fear that someone would do tricks and feet in the food she cooked.
After waiting at the dinner table, Yu Qing asked people to put the dishes on a large tray, and several people carried them over, and they stared at the whole process to ensure that there would be no possibility of being poisoned when serving the dishes.
After the dishes were arranged, the palace people went to call Concubine Zhen to eat.
Concubine Zhen looked at Yu Qing as if she was not very happy, thinking that she was a little bored in her Tsinghua Garden, and Yu Qing felt bored, so she always found topics to joke about Yu Qing when she ate, wanting her to be happy.
But in the end, no matter what Concubine Zhen said, Yu Qing wilted.
"Yuqing, what's wrong with you, why are you unhappy today? Are you bored, or is it a palace person who makes you angry? Concubine Zhen asked suspiciously.
Yu Qing shook her head, struggling to tell Concubine Zhen about it.
But if you think about it carefully, if you tell Concubine Zhen, I am afraid that it will scare her, and what should I do if I have fetal gas and give birth prematurely?
At this time, Yu Qing was very hesitant, but looking at Concubine Zhen's concerned expression, and thinking about it, she also had the right to know, and if she didn't know that someone had reached out to harm her, it would be very troublesome if she was usually careless!
Yu Qing first looked around and saw that there was no one, because Concubine Zhen didn't like people to disturb her when she ate, so there was no one else except her henchmen.
"When I went to cook today, I wanted to see what delicious dishes were made, but when I looked closer, I smelled a smell of medicine.
Then I felt that something was wrong, so I sniffed every dish, and found that the dishes and soups specially made for you all had a medicinal taste, but the ones made for me did not have that taste.
I think someone must have poisoned you, but unfortunately when I went, no one was next to the dish, and I don't know who did it! Yu Qing said seriously.
When Concubine Zhen heard this, the chopsticks fell from her hands to the table, and said, "That! That! This dish is poisonous? ”
"I made this table of dishes that are not poisonous, I said to the people in the kitchen, you are tired of eating the usual dishes, and you want to eat the dishes I cooked, so I asked them to throw out the dishes from before.
This is all my re-doing, none of them are fake, even if they are brought to me, they follow me all the way, and no one has a chance to be poisoned! ”
Hearing this, Concubine Zhen hurriedly patted her chest and said, "Sister Yuqing, thanks to you, if I have been eating poisoned meals unconsciously, I'm afraid I will have two deaths!" ”
"It's a pity that it's been found a little late, presumably it's been a while since the poisoning, and it has already caused damage to your body, do you feel uncomfortable now?" Yu Qing hurriedly asked worriedly.
"I'm not feeling sick now, and I'm feeling pretty good, but you have to pay more attention in the future, and you can't startle the snakes, otherwise it will be difficult to find out if they change their methods to harm me."
In the past few days, we cook and eat in the small kitchen where we usually boil medicine and soup in our yard, and the kitchen also asks them to do it as usual. Concubine Zhen thought for a while and said.
Yu Qing nodded in agreement.
"Concubine Zhen is really smart and calm, I will pay attention. In the future, I will cook your food, or your henchmen, and I don't worry about others, but I don't know who wants to harm you! ”
"Who can know, there are many concubines in the palace, I am pregnant with a child, and it is normal for them to not tolerate it!" Concubine Zhen sighed slightly.
But Yu Qing felt that maybe it wasn't just to harm Concubine Zhen, but it might also be to harm herself. Just enough to harm Concubine Zhen, one corpse and two lives, and blame yourself.
The people behind that can kill three birds with one stone.
It seems that the person behind this is very vicious and vicious, and he doesn't even let go of the child, so he must pay more attention in the future.
"Alright, let's eat, don't be afraid, I'll be fine!" Concubine Zhen looked at Yu Qing's worried appearance and comforted.
Yu Qing tugged at the corners of her mouth, revealing a wry smile.
"Concubine Zhen, I should comfort you, why did you comfort me, hey, but you have to eat well, you have to raise the fetus, it's not easy to worry too much, I will pay attention to these things!"
A few days later, someone came to the palace again, and Xue Gui came in person.
Concubine Zhen looked at the carts of gifts, and asked Xue Gui with a look of surprise and surprise: "These are all given to me by the emperor?" ”
"This is for you, and for Miss Yuqing!" Xue Gui explained with a smile.
When Concubine Zhen heard that the emperor had a gift for Yu Qing, her face changed suddenly, could it be that the emperor had taken a fancy to Yu Qing?
If the emperor takes a fancy to Yuqing, it will be terrible, then I am afraid that he will be crowned as a concubine.
Concubine Zhen couldn't tell what mood she was in, she should have been happy for Yuqing, if she could get the favor of the Son of Heaven, it would be amazing, and how many women would envy it.
But Concubine Zhen felt strange in her heart.
"Then thank you, Your Majesty, thank you Grandpa Xue!" Concubine Zhen asked people to take all the gifts back, and asked Xue Gui and others to send them away.
After Xue Gui left, Concubine Zhen took Yu Qing to the lake to talk, and seeing that there was no one, Concubine Zhen said tentatively: "Yu Qing, this emperor has sent you so many gifts, do you think the emperor will take a fancy to you?" ”
