I waited for three days, this incident is also strange and suspenseful, the most critical thing for the murder is the herb, if there is no herb, this matter would not have happened, but the herb can't appear in Wu Ping's hands for no reason, there must be a medium.

What the medium is, I don't know.

Wu Ping is dead, and he can't learn the truth from his mouth, which requires the Criminal Department to investigate, and this investigation found out that Wu Ping turned out to be the queen's person.

After finding out about this situation, Chen Yu felt that something was not quite right, Empress Chen was his cousin, and he didn't want this matter to involve her, so he went to check Tuoba Mingyan and Panglin, and this check actually found out that Pang Lin had killed someone before entering the palace, and he was also a brother and sister with the first-class palace maid Hongluan next to Tuoba Mingyan, Tuoba Mingyan changed Pang Lin's name before entering the palace and arranged him in his palace.

Chen Yu touched his chin, a playful smile on the corner of his mouth.

That's a lot of fun.

The dead Wu Ping is the queen's eyeliner, and the suspected murderer is a murderer who Tuoba Mingyan got from outside, and the herb has been checked by the Tai Hospital, and there is no record in all the medicinal files.

Check the data shows that this medicinal material grows in the extremely wild desert cold region, and has long been extinct in the world, even if someone goes to the desert cold forest, they can't dig this herb, and today's desert cold forest has long ceased to exist, and it became a part of the ocean ten years ago.

So, how did this herb come to the palace, and how did it appear in Wu Ping's hands?

Chen Yu squinted slightly, always feeling that this matter was strange and strange, he thought about it for a while, and met Chen Dedi before reporting to Shangshu Gong Yongqin of the superior criminal department.

Chen Yu informed Chen Dedi of all the circumstances of his investigation.

After listening to this, Chen Dedi asked him: "Based on your experience as an errand in the Criminal Department in the past few years, do you think it is very likely that this matter will involve me?" ”

Chen Yu said: "You tell the truth, does this matter have anything to do with you?" ”

Chen Dedi said: "No. ”

Chen Yu said: "Then you don't have to worry, Pang Lin is not only related to this matter, but also related to Ming Guifei, he still has a criminal record before entering the palace, and he is still a wanted criminal on the run. ”

Chen Dedi is not worried about what will happen to her, her status is there, just such a small thing, it can't shake her, what she wants is to use this matter to bring down Tuoba Mingyan or give her a hard blow.

Chen Yu knows her, that's the best.

Chen Dedi nodded and asked He Pinxiang to send him out.

Chen Yu went to see Gong Yongqin and handed over all the information of the investigation to Gong Yongqin, Gong Yongqin read it, glanced at him, and then took the information to the imperial study and met Yin Xuan.

Chen Yu naturally followed.

When the information was reviewed by Yin Xuan one by one, Yin Xuan's face flashed with a very cold anger, and he raised his hand and threw several data scrolls on Gong Yongqin's face.

Gong Yongqin threw himself on his knees with a frightened thud.

Chen Yu also knelt on the ground.

Yin Xuan's cold eyes swept over the kneeling two, and said, "After three days of investigation, you found such things?" You want to tell me that my queen and concubine are pinching each other, and the fuse of pinching each other is a medicinal herb of unknown origin, this medicinal material has become extinct among the people, and the place of origin has long been flooded, but it can appear out of thin air to cause trouble in my harem, this is not man-made, this is heavenly punishment, isn't it? ”

The last three words, he said in a low and slow voice, word by word, were terrifying and terrifying.

Who would dare to say that this is a heavenly punishment?

The most taboo thing for monarchs has always been the words "Heaven punishes Heaven and punishes Heaven and sends heaven", which means that he, the emperor, is not favored by God, in disguise, that is, he should not sit in the position of the emperor, he is not the chosen son, this is a question of the emperor's identity, but also a contempt for the emperor's authority and open confrontation, and more seriously, it is rebellion, and the nine clans will be punished!

If the emperor had been replaced, he might not have been so angry.

But if this matter rests on Yin Xuan, it will be completely disrespectful.

Yin Xuan's identity is not glorious, he is not the son of Emperor Yin Zu, and the blood flowing in his body is not the blood of the emperor, of course, during the period of Emperor Yin Zu, the heirs withered, and there were only two sons, but they both died halfway, and then they never looked forward to the birth of the prince.

When Emperor Yin Zu was critically ill, Nie Gongshu, a sibling who was in trouble with him, endured the pain and sent his seven-year-old great-granddaughter Nie Qingwan into the palace to rejoice for Emperor Yin Zu.

Nie Qingwan is lively, naughty and cute, and very good at talking, with her every day, it makes Emperor Yinzu's condition a lot better, but the dying person, no matter how happy it is, three years later, Emperor Yin Zu still died.

Because there was no heir, Nie Qingwan temporarily took charge of the government with the support of the Nie family.

At that time, she was only ten years old, becoming the youngest queen mother in the history of Dayin.

Ten-year-old Nie Qingwan relied on the support and power of the Nie family and her own thunderous means, quickly established the court, and then began to expand the territory, the southern and northern wars, before that, she had to choose an heir from the Yin family, so as to block the Youyou Zongkou, and also remove the Nie family from the cusp, so that she could complete the grand cause that Emperor Yin Zu longed for without any worries.

Yin Xuan crashed into her eyes during this period.

In the early years of the Empress Dowager Yin, in March, Nie Qingwan summoned all the children of the Yin family to enter the palace to enjoy the flowers, the Yin family has been a prince and noble since the period of Emperor Yin Zu, with deep roots and luxuriant branches, Emperor Yin Zu has no son, but there are many children of the Yin family, there are noble people, there are also low people, Yin Xuan is one of the lowly, his father ranks sixty-nine in the Yin family tree, and the Yin family ranks according to status, all ranked seventy, it can be seen how low his father is, and his biological mother can't take it, he is an anonymous concubine, too charming and charming, According to eyewitnesses, all the men who have seen her do not want to be taken into custody, because of this, Yin Xuan's biological mother was scolded as a slut and was tortured to death a long time ago.

His father also committed suicide after his mother's death.

Yin Xuan has spent his childhood in the exclusion, coldness, ridicule, contempt and insult of others, and there are many people of the same age who use him as a rake for archery, and often take his head as a target for training unexpectedly, he grew up in such an environment until he was seven years old, safe and sound, and then had the honor to bear Yin's surname, entered the palace, and met the young queen mother.

Someone didn't know the severity and teased the queen mother, Yin Xuan raised the knife and stabbed the person to death.

In front of the Queen Mother, in front of so many Yin family disciples and court ministers, he stood there, the knife in his hand was still bleeding, but the corners of his mouth were smiling.

His beauty inherited his biological mother's smile, which was cold, hot-blooded, seductive, and charming.

He was looking at Nie Qingwan.

The Yin clan brothers were furious and vowed to kill Yin Xuan, but they were shocked by Nie Qingwan's words, and she said: "Whoever dares to touch him, behead." ”

A slash landed, and the Royal Foresters all rushed in.

The children of the Yin family were forced by the Queen Mother's Long Wei, so they had to endure it.

Nie Qingwan took the handkerchief, stepped forward, and personally wiped the blood on Yin Xuan's hands, at that time, she was ten years old, he was seven years old, she was the unattainable queen mother, he was just a humble and inconspicuous concubine of the Yin family.

But she chose him.

At that time, ten-year-old Nie Qingwan understood Yin Xuan, and seven-year-old Yin Xuan didn't understand her?

Some people obviously can't intersect, just like heaven and earth, birds and fish, but they are destined to meet, so they can't be spared.

Although the Queen Mother is young and looks gentle and lovely, her heart is filled with thousands of horses galloping, the heir she wants is not an obedient puppet, not a talented person who reads poetry and books, nor a person who settles the country, she wants to be able to conquer and fight, kill fearless, cold-blooded and ruthless people, because she wants to expand the territory, she wants to complete the great cause of the empire, so she needs a warrior.

Yin Xuan's performance just matched her appetite, so he was chosen.

But it is an indisputable fact that Yin Xuan killed the people of his clan.

Yin Xuan has never forgotten this incident, after he ascended the throne as the emperor, he gave a lot of mercy to the children of the Yin family, but his hands that have been stained with the blood of sin can't be washed cleanly.

This is the most obscure scar in Yin Xuan's heart, although no one dares to mention it after he ascended the throne as emperor, it does not mean that it does not exist, and it does not exist in Yin Xuan's heart.

Now, it was as if the heavens were angry and God was punishing him.

Can Yin Xuanyan not be angry?

Especially the god of Da Yin, who had already been killed by him, became the most difficult love he buried in his heart, and also became a wound in his heart that could never be recovered.

No one can mention such an injury, and no one can hint at it.

It's just that he shook Gong Yongqin's face and folded his face, and he didn't shake his face with a knife, which was already very good.

Gong Yongqin also seemed to realize something, and quickly clarified: "The minister does not have such a rebellious idea, but based on the facts from the investigation, he reported it to the emperor, and there are two possibilities for the herb, either it was originally in the hands of Wu Ping or in the hands of Pang Lin." ”

This is a short sentence, but the amount of information is extremely heavy.

If the herb was in Wu Ping's hands from the beginning, then yesterday's incident was that the queen was directing, if the herb was in Pang Lin's hands from the beginning, it was Ming Guifei who was directing, and whether it was the queen or Ming Guifei, it was the master who could not be offended by the harem.

Yin Xuan snorted coldly.

Gong Yongqin lowered his head a little more.

Chen Yu was silent.

Yin Xuan raised his head lightly and asked Chen Yu, "What does Chen Aiqing think?" ”

Chen Yu originally just wanted to be a dumb person and kneel on the side transparently, but the emperor named and named him, and he couldn't help but speak, he said: "There are many possibilities for the origin of the herb, in view of the fact that this herb is so precious, the person who owns it must be either rich or expensive, that is, what Master Gong said, it may be from the queen, or it may be from the Ming Guifei, of course, there is another possibility, that is, this herb comes from the Tai Hospital, as we all know, the Tai Hospital is the most concentrated place of the harem medicinal materials, and includes all the rare and exotic herbs in the world, there are this medicinal materials, When not surprising. ”

Yin Xuan pointed to the peak and tapped the dragon case, with a slight calculation in his heart, he turned his eyebrows, looked at Sui Hai who was waiting on the side, and asked, "Has the information been submitted by the Tai Hospital?" ”

Sui Haidao: "Not yet. ”

Yin Xuan said: "Let them present it." ”

Suihai hurriedly responded, went out and called a eunuch, asking him to go to the Tai Hospital quickly, and bring all the information they had checked in the past few days, the eunuch went, and the people in the Tai Hospital heard that the emperor wanted to see it, so they didn't dare to be sloppy for a moment, and handed over all the investigation materials.

After reading it, Yin Xuan said to Gong Yongqin: "Go and check all the people who came and went in and out of the Tai Hospital yesterday, but if there is any suspicion, they will be arrested and interrogated by the Criminal Department first." ”

Gong Yongqin said in a deep voice, knelt down and stepped back, and went out.

Chen Yu naturally followed.

The two of them went out of the imperial study, facing the scorching hot sun shining in the midsummer of June, only to feel the chill in their hearts, all the way from the soles of their feet to their backs, obviously it was so hot, but the two of them still had a cold ban.

Gong Yongqin said: "Yuan Yun, although this case is small, you have to handle it with your head, you don't have to be afraid, you are the Chen family, I probably have to make a fuss." ”

Yuan Yun is Chen Yu's small character, and Gong Yongqin usually calls him like this.

Chen Yu said: "My lord is too worried, the emperor is not an ordinary person, and he has his own rules in his heart." ”

Gong Yongqin glanced at him, what he didn't say was that the emperor ruled strictly, the law was unforgiving, he was a rare Ming Jun and a benevolent monarch, and his talent was remarkable, he would be a holy monarch in the future, how could the person selected by the Queen Mother be a mortal? What he was worried about was not what the emperor would do to him, but the other two parties involved in this matter, Empress Chen and Concubine Ming.

Unless this case is closed, no matter which party is convicted, it will be an offense.

Gong Yongqin stopped, stretched out his hand to pull Chen Yu, and said, "Yuan Yun, I'm usually good to you, right?" ”

Chen Yu said with a smile: "My lord has always taken good care of Xiaguan. ”

Gong Yongqin said: "I can't talk about taking care of you, but I really like you very much, this time, I have to thank you for taking care of it, this case is over, no matter who I offend, please Yuan Yun is accommodating behind my back." ”

The Chen family has a queen in the harem, and there are several mountains in the court, Chen Yu only needs one sentence, no matter who Gong Yongqin offends, he can spend it safely.

has been an official for many years, of course Chen Yu understands the meaning of Gong Yongqin's words, Chen Yu said with a smile: "Don't worry, my lord, I still expect to advance and retreat with my adults in the future." ”

Gong Yongqin withdrew his hand with relief and said, "I haven't hurt you in vain in the past few years." ”

Chen Yu smiled, Gong Yongqin also breathed a sigh of relief, the two went to the Tai Hospital, and after entering, they learned that Li Donglou had been guarded by the forbidden army, just waiting for them.

Gong Yongqin is the secretary of the criminal department, the official residence is the second product, Chen Yu is the squire, from the fourth product, Li Donglou is the commander of the forbidden army, the official third product, Li Donglou salutes Gong Yongqin, Chen Yu salutes Li Donglou, and after saluting each other, Gong Yongqin took Chen Yu to check all the doctors who were on duty yesterday in the Tai Hospital.

In the end, three suspicious people were locked, two of them were the envoys on duty last night, and one person was Xian Bi.

The duty hospital made someone testify that he never left, but Xian Bi couldn't do it, he left in the morning and didn't return until the evening, and learned that Xian Bi was invited to the barren grass house by the big girl Huan Kangxin in the Xingchen Palace early in the morning, because the little master of the barren grass house had a fever and heat stroke, and the situation was very serious, Xian Bi stayed there and did not leave.

In view of this situation, Gong Yongqin sent someone to spread the word to the palace maids and eunuchs in the barren grass house, but was told that the little master of the barren grass house was locked up by the emperor, and the servants inside were not allowed to go out, otherwise, it would be the capital crime of the nine clans.

Gong Yongqin had no choice but to let Chen Yu deign to go on a trip to verify.

Chen Yu went, and came back with several confessions in his hand, all of which were drawn by the palace maids and eunuchs in the Wild Grass House, and even the little lord of the Wild Grass House, Hua Meiren, also proved that Xian Bi had indeed stayed in the Wild Grass House to see her doctor, and also helped her decoct the medicine, and never left.

So, the suspicion of the hospital has also been ruled out, where did the herbs come from?

The herb appeared in the hands of Wu Ping, and Wu Ping was just a sprinkler eunuch in front of the palace gate, how could he have the ability to have such precious medicinal materials, if it wasn't him, it must be the person behind him, and the person behind him was none other than the queen who commanded the harem.

Tuoba Mingyan knew that Wu Ping was the eyeliner that the queen had placed in her palace, how could she let go of this opportunity? When Yin Xuan came to her palace in the evening, she said to Yin Xuan: "The queen is obviously fighting for me." ”

She said it bluntly, Yin Xuan listened to it truthfully, Yin Xuan smiled faintly, and lay back on the chaise longue, his posture was lazy and noble, he lowered his noble head, and played with the dragon jade wrench on his thumb without a match, his voice was not light or heavy, and said: "If you don't have a handle, how can she compete for you?" ”

In a word, Tuoba Mingyan's heart immediately lifted, her face tightened, and she lifted her skirt and knelt down.

Su He and Hong Luan also immediately knelt on the ground.

and the palace maids and eunuchs guarding the door, although they didn't know why, they were also frightened and knocked their knees and hung their heads to the ground.

Tuoba Mingyan trembled his lips and said: "Pang Lin's matter, I didn't mean to hide it from the emperor and the queen, I just wanted to arrange a person to do things in my palace." ”

Yin Xuan leaned on his arm, looked at her with a squint, and said with a smile: "There are many people in the palace, why do you have to get it from outside the palace?" Just got it from outside the palace, and got a murderer, you helped him clear his identity, but don't you know the law of Dayin? But whoever hurts people's lives, the reincarnation of the Ninth World will not escape the record, and you will follow ...... in vain."

When Yin Xuan said this, he suddenly paused, his face changed, and he sat up.

He stretched out his hand to drink tea, and Suihai immediately poured cold tea and handed it to him.

Yin Xuan didn't say anything further, he only drank water in silence, but Tuoba Mingyan knew what he wanted to say later, he wanted to say: "It's in vain that you have been with the Queen Mother for so long, but you haven't learned this skill at all." ”

Yes, Tuoba Mingyan admits that she is very different from the Queen Mother, even if she has followed her for many years, she has not even learned her fur.

She's too powerful.

Powerful enough to make her cold and jealous.

Tuoba Mingyan lowered his face, his fingers clenched unconsciously.

Yin Xuan put down the teacup, looked at her, and felt tasteless for no reason, originally she helped him and sacrificed for him, he swore to himself that he would protect her well in this life.

He is not ungrateful, and he will remember those who are good to him for the rest of his life.

And what he will remember most in his life is that person.

Tuoba Mingyan has been following that person since he was fifteen years old, and he is a full thirty years old this year, deducting the three years since that person's death, Tuoba Mingyan has been by that person's side for twelve years.

After twelve years of following, he thought that she could learn some of her courage and demeanor, and he also had selfish intentions to see the shadow of that person in her.

However, after all, it can't.

Suddenly, the face he had seen in the Wild Grass House yesterday evening flashed in his mind, red as a monkey's buttocks, also sick and weak, and lingering with medicinal energy.

But the same sick body, the same unbearable face, but there was a frightened sharp color on her body, and the calmness and calmness of her posture when she spoke was full of courage, looking like her.

Why is this so?

Is it because Hua Beijiao was once the princess of the northern land of Suijin?

Yin Xuan didn't know why he thought of Hua Beijiao at this time, his brows frowned with a little annoyance, and he said to Tuoba Mingyan: "Get up." ”

Tuoba Mingyan thanked him and stood up with the help of Hongluan and Suhe.

Yin Xuan said: "Pang Lin's past has been found out, even if Wu Ping's death has nothing to do with him, he will be sent to death row, if Wu Ping's death is related to him, then he is not the only one who died." ”

After speaking, his eyes stared at Hong Luan indifferently.

Hong Luan's face was as white as paper all of a sudden, and her lips instantly lost their blood, but she didn't dare to ask the emperor, nor did she dare to ask Tuoba Mingyan in front of the emperor, she endured it all her life, but when she thought that her brother would die, maybe she would also die, her eyes were red.

Yin Xuan didn't leave at night, so he stayed in the Yanxia Palace.

That happened last night, and I actually went today, and after Chen Dedi in Shoude Palace found out, she was so angry that she almost broke the silver jade cup in her hand.

He Pinxiang persuaded: "Niang Niang, don't be angry, this Tuoba barbarian won't be stable for long, and getting a murderer into the palace on an errand will be questioned." ”

Chen Dedi sneered: "Ask for sin? Who is condemning all the sins of this great Yin? It's the emperor, the emperor favors her, the emperor says she's not guilty, but others say death, it's useless. ”

He Pinxiang said: "Even if Concubine Ming can get away, but Pang Lin will definitely die, although the emperor loves Concubine Ming, he will not ignore the law and let Pang Lin live, which can be regarded as a smooth breath of the mother, and I will think about it in the future." ”

What can Chen Dedi do, she can only swallow this unwilling breath alive, put Tuoba Mingyan behind her first, and mention the one in the barren grass house.

And when it came to the little master, He Pinxiang couldn't help but smash her tongue, she said: "Originally, Niangniang sent someone to send a message to Concubine Chen, so that Concubine Chen took the opportunity to send ice is fake, and let Huamei pretend to be sick from heat stroke, but Concubine Chen has not yet arrived, and she has not been able to understand the meaning of Niangniang, Huamei people have heat stroke first, this Huamei is really not simple, she can think of the same countermeasures as Niangniang in advance, get out of danger with illness, temporarily protect herself, and withdraw from the whirlpool, which is really surprising, when you are impressed." ”

Chen Dedi muttered: "I can come up with this method because I know that the emperor looks indifferent, but in fact he is benevolent and loves the people, even if Huamei has a great crime, during her illness, the emperor will not do anything to her, at most, like today, lock her up, and then settle accounts with her afterwards." But I can think that it is because I know the emperor well, not how smart I am, but not Huameiren, she first entered the palace, she didn't know anything about the emperor, but before the situation deteriorated, she was so clever and calculated, and used a clever plan to protect herself. ”

He Pinxiang said: "Huamei was confined by the emperor, and if the emperor didn't speak, the barren grass residence was equivalent to the cold palace, and it was useless for her to have the ability." ”

Chen Dedi handed her the jade cup in her hand, got up and moved to the window, facing the night of the courtyard and the sprinkled starlight and moonlight, she said lightly: "Don't you understand, if it is a pearl, no matter where it is placed, no matter how much dust it is criticized, it will eventually shine?" ”

He Pinxiang was slightly stunned and asked, "Niangniang thinks Huamei is a pearl?" ”

Chen Dedi said: "I wish she were." ”

Later, it turned out that the pearl metaphor is too cold for the gorgeous woman, she should be the sun, above the heavens, her appearance can bring light to this world, but also bring destruction to this world.

Three days later, Pang Lin was beheaded.

Pang Lin is just a steward in charge of the treasury in the Yanxia Palace, and if he dies, he will die, plus he was a murderer before, and now he is suspected of murder, this case was personally handled by the emperor, and the criminal department also accepted it, although the case is suspenseful, the source of the medicinal herb has not been found so far, it seems to be a headless case, but can the criminal department decide the case with suspense and headless cases?

No.

Then you can only find one person to close the case.

Pang Lin became the best candidate.

Yin Xuan also took charge of the entire case, whether it was the Tai Hospital, the queen or Tuoba Mingyan, he didn't plan to move, so he turned a blind eye and acquiesced in Gong Yongqin's decision.

It stands to reason that Pang Lin is a person in the Yanxia Palace, he committed a crime, and the master had to suffer, but because of the emperor's favor and protection, although Pang Lin was convicted, Tuoba Mingyan was not affected in the slightest, and others did not dare to say a word of disrespect to her.

This is how the incident ended in the harem of the dark tide.

But after that, Queen Chen and Concubine Ming, who have always been at odds with each other, have sublimated from the fight between you and me behind their backs to the bright side, and now, all the people in the harem know that Queen Chen and Concubine Ming are not in harmony, and they are no longer hidden.

Yin Xuan was silent about this matter, and he sent Li Donglou to secretly investigate the medicinal herb that appeared out of thin air.

Although Tuoba Mingyan lost one of his henchmen, he could get the herbs, which could be regarded as making up for it.

Although the herb was not a flame flower, it was determined by the Tai Hospital that it had almost the same function as the flame flower.

Yin Xuan gave this medicinal herb to Tuoba Mingyan and asked her to take it next time when she was sick.

Tuoba Mingyan received this grace and served Yin Xuan more diligently, Yin Xuan was still the same as before, staying in the Yanxia Palace every night, it seems that this murder incident did not leave any waves and mustard in his heart, he still favored Tuoba Mingyan alone, which made the queen angry and angry, and since then he has been with Tuoba Mingyan to the end.

The harem is about to rise, but the masterminds behind the scenes who dominate this situation are locked up in their own barren grass dwellings to recuperate, plant flowers, play the piano, play chess, read, and write.

In the afternoon of midsummer, Nie Qingwan sat under the shade of the tree, practicing calligraphy at the table, Huandong and Huanxi were waiting on the left and right, Wang Yunyao brought Xian Bi over, Xian Bi stepped forward to salute, and said with a smile: "Today's complexion looks very good." ”

Nie Qingwan hung her head and wrote seriously, not looking at him, but said: "Someone wants to use me, if you don't take care of your body, how can you work?" ”

After she finished speaking, she smiled and put the brush down.

Huanxi and Huandong hurriedly packed up and made room.

Xian Bi stepped forward with the medicine box, took out the pulse, and gave Nie Qingwan a pulse, and after the number, he withdrew his hand and said, "The body has recovered very well, and there is no need to drink medicine anymore." ”

Nie Qingwan said: "No one disturbs, and the sick body will recover quickly." ”

Xian Bi packed up the pulse diagnosis and asked her: "You just said that someone wants to use you, do you mean the queen?" ”

It is very inappropriate to say these things in the courtyard, but the barren grass house is banned, outsiders can't come in, people inside can't get out, and the three unique palace maids were also sent to the back kitchen and the outer courtyard by Wang Yunyao, and the two eunuchs guarded the door, and at this moment in this main hall, there are only their own people.

Wang Yunyao's martial arts are strong and her ears are amazing, if there is wind and grass around, she can immediately detect it.

At this time, there were only four of them in the courtyard, and they could talk at will.

Nie Qingwan laughed and said, "No." ”

Xian Bi was slightly stunned.

After Nie Qingwan put her hand away, Huandong brought a basin to clean her hands and waited for Nie Qingwan to wash her hands.

After washing his hands, Huanxi took the tea that had been soaked there for a long time and then cooled naturally, but what was in this cup of tea was not tea leaves, not fragrant tea, but fresh orange peel.

As soon as the lid is lifted, there is a faint orange fragrance wafting, and when you take a sip, the slightly sweet and bitter taste instantly lingers on the entire tongue.

This is Nie Qingwan's favorite tea when she was still the Queen Mother, and it must be indispensable when eating corn cakes, because corn cakes are sweet, and this tea has a slightly bitter taste, which just neutralizes.

This tea was brewed by Ren Ji for her, in Ren Ji's words: "If you eat too much sweet, it will be difficult to swallow bitterness, the queen mother is the hope of the people's livelihood, and you must not forget what bitterness is." ”

Drinking orange tea but not having corn cakes at hand is really the greatest misfortune in life.

Nie Qingwan didn't drink it after two sips, she asked Xian Bi, what is the situation outside now, Xian Bi told her, there was no Xian Bi, Nie Qingwan could also know what was happening in the outside world, even if she was locked up.

There's no way, who let her have a person with strong martial arts at hand.

What happened in those seven days, except for the things in the Tai Hospital, which Xian Bi told her, the things outside the Shoude Palace, the Imperial Study and the Yanxia Palace were all told to her by Wang Yunyao.

Because there were many masters hidden outside the imperial study, Wang Yunyao did not find out about Yin Xuan's order to Li Donglou to secretly investigate the herb.

Xian Bi didn't know.

Then, Nie Qingwan didn't know.

Nie Qingwan listened to Xian Bi's words, and knew that Empress Chen had a lot of difficulties with Tuoba Mingyan, and after they were all on the bright side, she hooked her lips and thought, who is she useful for? For Tuoba Mingyan, she is useful, and for the queen, she is also useful, Tuoba Mingyan is weak in the harem, except for the emperor's favor, she has nothing, but the emperor can only go to her at night, and he can't keep her all day.

In the past, the queen didn't look down on her, and felt that no matter how favored she was, she couldn't threaten her, so she tolerated her.

But as soon as the herbs and murders came out, the queen would no longer tolerate her.

Then, in the face of the queen's strong suppression, Tuoba Mingyan will definitely find an alliance.

Looking at the entire harem, who would dare to go against the queen?

Even if there are people, they will not be stupid on the bright side, and they will collude with Tuoba Mingyan, at most they will sit and watch the tiger fight.

In the harem, the only newcomer now is her.

The concubines have always bought newcomers, because newcomers can't figure out the situation, they are easy to get on the thief ship by mistake and be used as a gunman, and the barren grass house is imprisoned because the emperor is angry with Tuoba Mingyan, so the lifting of the ban on the barren grass house is only between Tuoba Mingyan's words.

Nie Qingwan's body has been completely recovered in the past seven days, and even the previous state of being weak and weak for half a year because of North China Jiao's devouring of a zhang red has been improved, which completely depends on Xian Bi's dedication, every medicine prepared for Nie Qingwan was carefully screened by him, and he bought it with a lot of money out of his own pocket, and he had to apply to the Tai Hospital for too precious medicinal materials, which was more troublesome, plus Nie Qingwan was not favored, and now he was locked up again, and he would not approve the application to the Tai Hospital, so he prepared it himself.

Fortunately, the effect is significant.

Xian Bi looked at Nie Qingwan's white and red face, wearing a blue palace skirt, no makeup, with transparent flowers on her forehead, and the pearl and jade dragonfly hairpins were not above the earmarks, fixing the hair hanging down on both sides, her face was exquisite, as if she was smiling, but as if she was not smiling, and the whole person exuded a fresh and refined and alienated luster.

The girl in front of her is also superior, but compared with the previous queen mother, she is still too inferior.

Although the appearance is different, the Queen Mother's charm has not changed.

Her smile and smile, although she tried her best to hide it, still inadvertently revealed an incomparable divine might.

Xian Bi's vision was a little hazy and a little wet, staring at Nie Qingwan without blinking, or Wang Yunyao couldn't stand it anymore, and pulled him, he woke up in shock, and immediately lowered his head in panic.

Nie Qingwan smiled: "You go back." ”

Xian Bi responded, picked up the medicine box and left.

After he left, Wang Yunyao scolded: "If he dares to hit the little master's idea, I will make him look good." ”

Nie Qingwan stroked her forehead and shook her head, and smiled speechlessly: "You think as much as you want." ”

Wang Yunyao snorted: "The people in this palace have ten tricks in their hearts, I don't think much about it, I will suffer in the future." ”

Nie Qingwan said: "Yes Xian Bi, it doesn't have to be like this. ”

Wang Yunyao was puzzled and asked, "Why do you trust him so much?" ”

This question is a good question, why does Nie Qingwan trust Xian Bi so much, and why is Xian Bi so sure that she is the late Queen Mother after listening to her one-sided words, how can the dead still live? This is too unbelievable, but Xian Bi believes it without asking anything, there is actually no reason for this, and there is no need for a reason, even if it is self-deception, Xian Bi is willing to believe it, because he needs a faith.

And Nie Qingwan trusted Xian Bi, just because he was once a soldier she personally ordered.

Nie Qingwan looked back at Wang Yunyao and said with a smile: "Intuition." ”

Wang Yunyao rolled her eyes in an instant, okay, she behaved abnormally before, she said that she was enlightened, and now she said that she intuitively believed in a doctor who had stayed in the palace for many years and had never met before, such an answer was very fake, when she couldn't hear it?

Wang Yunyao crossed his arms and snorted: "No matter why you believe him, in short, the deep palace is sinister, and you should be on guard against it." ”

Nie Qingwan smiled: "I understand. ”

Wang Yunyao said: "The queen and Concubine Ming have a quarrel, this is the strategy you planned to implement when you first entered the palace?" So when Imperial Physician Xian went to the Jindong Royal Mansion to diagnose you, you wooed him? How come I didn't realize that you had such a high vision and such a deep scheming before? ”

Huandong glanced at Nie Qingwan's face.

Huanxi also silently pricked up his ears to listen to the little master's explanation.

Nie Qingwan lowered her head and combed the cuffs of the palace sleeves, and said slowly: "I woke up at that time, and saw the worried faces of my father, princess, and brother, and I had something in my mind for a while, but because of the headache, I couldn't remember it, and later I learned from your mouth that I took poison because I didn't want to enter the palace, and at that moment I knew what was in my head when I first woke up, and I regretted it." First, I don't want to die, second, I don't want to disappoint my father, mother, concubine and brother, and third, I don't want Jindong to fall into panic because of me, or even extinction, so I agreed to enter the palace, since I decided to enter the palace, then of course I want to live, and I want to live the scenery, and to survive in the harem, the emperor's favor is very important, and the imperial doctor is also very important. ”

Wang Yunyao said: "This is the reason why you wooed Xian Bi?" ”

No, the above words are all for Wang Yunyao and Huan Dong Huanxi, the real reason Nie Qingwan won't tell them, at least, she won't say it now, and Xian Bi, do you need her to win them over?

Nie Qingwan nodded: "Yes." ”

Wang Yunyao said: "It's hard for you to think so much for Jindong. ”

Nie Qingwan said: "This is what I should think." ”

Wang Yunyao said: "You let Empress Chen and Concubine Ming make trouble, just for your own benefit?" ”

Nie Qingwan said again, Wang Yunyao said: "How do you know that Concubine Ming has been poisoned, and you still know the Flame Flower, just know this, how do you still know what medicine Imperial Doctor Xian has in his hands, why can you conclude that as soon as the herb appears, Wu Ping and Pang Lin will inevitably have a dispute?" You seem to know everything by heart, step by step. ”

Nie Qingwan lowered her arm, pressed it on the table, and said with a sleepy look: "Tired, you ask so much, how can I answer you?" ”

Wang Yunyao said: "You answer one by one." ”

Nie Qingwan said: "I don't want to answer." ”

Wang Yunyao choked and glared at her, seeing that she was really unwilling to answer again, she would not be reluctant, anyway, she would slowly understand in the future, she said: "Now the queen is in trouble with Concubine Ming, but we are also locked up and confined, whether it is dead or alive or unknown, I want the scenery, I can't see it." ”

Nie Qingwan rested her chin on her forearm, opened her eyes to look at the sunlight shining in the courtyard, and after a while, she said, "I'm hungry, let's get some food." ”

Wang Yunyao glared.

Nie Qingwan tilted her head to look at her: "Don't worry, eat and drink enough, wait for someone to come to the door." ”

Wang Yunyao said: "The barren grass house has closed the ban, and no one dares to come." ”

Nie Qingwan curled the corners of her lips and smiled: "Someone will come." ”

Wang Yunyao asked, "Who?" ”

Nie Qingwan said: "Concubine Ming." ”

After saying this, she asked Huandong and Huanxi to put pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and Wang Yunyao saw that she lowered her head to write again, and it was inconvenient to disturb, so she went to the kitchen to urge Huangliu and Huangzhu to hurry up and cook.

After eating, Nie Qingwan continued to practice calligraphy, until Lin Gao came in to report, indicating that the concubine was coming, Nie Qingwan's hand holding the pen was only a meal, she slowly raised her head, looking at the woman who walked in with graceful clothes, gorgeous ornaments and wraps, surrounded by many palace maids and eunuchs, she thought, Ming Yan, you gave me a bowl of Meng Po soup, I will give you back a bridge, in this life, I will not save you again, but please ask for more blessings.
