And when Yuqing left, he passed through the courtyard.

Looking at the emptiness of the yard, there was a glimmer of inspiration in his eyes, which flashed.

Two days later, Yu Qing looked at her basket full of medicinal herbs, and was very happy, all of which she had collected from elsewhere. The medicinal herbs themselves were not of much use, and Yu Qing thought about picking them and raising them in Concubine Shen's big courtyard.

Carrying a large basket full of medicinal materials, Yu Qing quietly came to the Changcang Palace.

At this moment, taking advantage of the absence of the palace maid, Yu Qing first threw the basket into the hall, and then climbed over the wall.

Yu Qing did not rush to find Concubine Shen, but directly searched for tools for trimming the fields in Concubine Shen's yard, and with some effort, sorted out a small piece of land, and did not ask Concubine Shen if she was willing, so she directly planted the medicinal herbs.

Concubine Shen heard the movement early, so she waited in the palace.

But after waiting for a while, I still didn't see Yu Qing's figure.

I was a little puzzled in my heart, but at this time, I heard movement in the courtyard again, and I was even more puzzled, so I got up and went out to look.

Seeing Yu Qing, who was sweating profusely, was pouting and planting something she didn't know, she didn't care too much about this, but watched the yard being made like this by Yu Qing, and Concubine Shen was slightly angry in her heart.

Thinking about Yu Qing's courteous appearance to herself, she felt more and more that she had something to hide from herself, wasn't she sent by the Queen Mother to approach her? And then so that she can get what she wants?

"What are you doing here?" Concubine Shen stood here for a long time, and saw that Yu Qing didn't notice her at all, so she asked again.

"See the concubine Niangniang, these are some medicinal herbs, the slave has no place to plant, I wanted to give up planting, but suddenly remembered that the concubine Niangniang's yard is very big, so I took it upon myself to plant the medicinal herbs here."

was knocked over, and Yu Qing was very embarrassed.

At this time, I listened to Concubine Shen's inquiry, and I didn't know what to say. But it can't be directly said that it was to let Concubine Shen pass the time, so she moved out of the excuse she thought of at the beginning.

"Is that with my permission? Look at the courtyard you built, those palace maids will definitely be suspicious. Concubine Shen had cold eyes and stared straight at Yu Qing, her eyes full of distrust.

"Concubine Niangniang spare her life, a large part of these medicinal materials are beneficial to the concubine's body, the slave maid has collected it with hard work, Concubine Niangniang forgive me."

Yu Qing was not stupid, so she naturally heard the unhappiness in Concubine Shen's tone, and knew that she had annoyed Concubine Shen by not saying anything, so she hurriedly begged for mercy.

"In that case, you can plant it." Concubine Shen pondered for a moment, then suddenly changed her face and said. Although she said this, she was still faintly uneasy in her heart, and always felt that something bad was about to happen.

Half an hour later, Yu Qing relaxed her muscles and bones, looked at her results with a smile on her face, and said: "The concubine has nothing to do to raise these medicinal materials for the slaves, and it is too boring." ”

Hearing this, Concubine Shen didn't say anything, but looked at the medicinal herbs that Yu Qing had just planted with some vigilance, and felt cold in her heart, always feeling that Yu Qing was trying to frame her.

"Okay, it's not too early, Miss Yuqing should go back as soon as possible." Concubine Shen said hello very calmly, and directly asked Yu Qing to retreat.

Yu Qing didn't notice anything wrong, looked up at the sky, and estimated that the imperial dining room should be busy again, so he picked up the basket and bowed and retreated.

As soon as Yu Qing left, Concubine Shen thought about stepping forward and pulling out those medicinal herbs, but she thought about whether this was too obvious, if she did this, Yu Qing would definitely notice something.

So in the end, she decided to keep these medicinal materials for the time being, and she also wanted to see what tricks Yu Qing would play.

The other side.

As soon as Yu Qing returned to the imperial dining room on the front foot, Li Defu followed in on the back foot, and at this moment, seeing Yu Qing's happy face, he wanted to say something and stopped.

"Yu Qing, Concubine Rong wants to eat the food you cooked tonight." Li Defu gritted his teeth and spoke.

He also knew that this matter could not be escaped, and he would have to face it sooner or later, not to mention that he was just a small director of the imperial dining room, so he couldn't help anything at all.

"Concubine Rong? Concubine Rong's palace doesn't seem to be my responsibility. When Yu Qing heard Concubine Rong, her mood suddenly became bad, if she asked Yu Qing who she hated the most in the palace, Concubine Rong would definitely be at the top of the list.

"Today, Concubine Rong opened Chrysostom, saying that she wanted to taste your craftsmanship, you ...... Just be careful. Li Defu's tone still had a look in which Yu Qing should deal with it carefully.

Yu Qing naturally knew in her heart that Concubine Rong was deliberately looking for herself.

It's just that she hasn't returned the gift to Concubine Rong, so she sent it to the door, so let's see what tricks she wants to play this time, and she will take it all.

"Okay, please ask Director Li to remind me." Yu Qing smiled at Li Defu and turned to prepare tonight's meal.

Li Defu saw that Yuqing was busy, so he didn't bother, sighed and turned to leave.

Because of Li Defu's instructions, the rest of the food in the palace does not need to be cooked by Yu Qing, so it is better for Yu Qing to make food for Concubine Rong.

For the sake of a concubine, even the meals in the imperial study were left behind. Yu Qing values it in her heart, so the meals she cooks are also excellent.

Soon, he instructed the little eunuch to bring the meal to Concubine Rong. And Yu Qing didn't follow, and went back to the residence to rest.

Day 2.

Yu Qing was still in a daze when she got up, nothing happened last night, which surprised her, and she didn't think much about it, and after cleaning up, Yu Qing went to the imperial dining room.

But unexpectedly, she saw the figure she least wanted to see outside the door.

"See Concubine Rong, Niangniang is auspicious."

As soon as Concubine Rong appeared, everyone in the imperial dining room was busy coming forward to pay respects.

Yu Qing was no exception, but the moment she lowered her head, Concubine Rong's eyes fell on Yu Qing, and the corners of her mouth hooked up a secret smile, which was very mad.

"I don't know if the mother is coming, what's the matter?" When Li Defu heard the news, he hurried over, lowered his head, and asked respectfully.

"Oh, the imperial dining room is more than clear, so bold, she dares to poison the food in this palace, and this palace will condemn her today." Concubine Rong smiled proudly, her eyes staring straight at Yu Qing, as if she was demonstrating to her.

Hearing the sound, Yu Qing's face was flat.

And Li Defu and the little eunuch are different, their faces are a little pale, which has been worrying about what happened for a night, but it still happened after all.

"Can you ask how the mother got poisoned? What kind of poison did you get into? Yu Qing raised her head and looked directly into Concubine Rong's eyes, not panicking at all, but making Concubine Rong's heart tense slightly.

"How did you get poisoned? It's not that you ate the poison in the food you cooked, you, why do you want to poison your mother. Concubine Rong was a little flustered by Yu Qing's eyes, and forgot what she should say. However, the maid beside her had eyes, and when she saw that Concubine Rong did not answer, she scolded Yu Qing angrily.

"How can Niangniang be sure that it is poisoned by the slave?" Yu Qing asked calmly.

"Who else could it be if it wasn't you? This meal was made by you, and naturally it is your fault. When the maid saw her retort, she was not pleased with it, and the words in her mouth came out of her mouth.

"Heh, my sister fell on her head on the table, is it my sister's fault or the table's fault? Or is it the fault of the person who made the table? Yu Qing spoke sarcastically and in a ridiculous tone, and the other people present couldn't hold back their laughter when they heard it.

"You!" The maid felt embarrassed, and pointed at Yu Qing but couldn't say a word.

"Enough! The food only passes through your hands, and you dare to say that it is not you who make trouble? Concubine Rong really couldn't listen to it, scolded angrily, and said to Yu Qing with a cold smile.

"Hui Niangniang, the slave is just a person who cooks, and on the way to go through many processes of food delivery, inspection, and food distribution, how can it be without the hands of others?"

The implication is that even if the food is poisonous, it is after the inspection, and it has nothing to do with her.

Everyone in the imperial dining room listened to Yu Qing's words, and questioned what Concubine Rong said, and for a while there was a lot of discussion, and Concubine Rong saw this, and her face was pale.

"Why was there nothing before, but yesterday something happened as soon as you were asked to cook? And you didn't say you were the one who made trouble? The wound on your face is a bad omen, and no one who comes into contact with you will end well. ”

Concubine Rong panicked slightly, and insisted that Yu Qing was making trouble, and even the injury on her face was involved.

Hearing this, Yu Qing's body was even more cold, she hadn't settled the matter with her about the hurt on her face, but she mentioned it first.

"Concubine Rong is really good at laughing, the slave maid's face is just an ordinary injury, if this is a bad omen, then isn't everyone has a bad omen? What Niangniang said is a partial generalization. ”

Yu Qing touched the scars on her face, her face turned cold, and she retorted sharply.

The rest of the people also had a sudden change in their faces, the most taboo in the palace was the curse, unknown, Concubine Rong's words accidentally involved everyone, and for a while the voice of resentment and injustice was high, and some people disregarded their dignity and humility, and had the courage to question Concubine Rong.

"Qi Qi Rong Concubine Niangniang, the slave has an injury on his body, and I want to ask Niangniang to see if it is a bad omen."

Because the first person started, the others followed.

Concubine Rong's face turned pale when she saw this, everyone's anger was focused on her, the development of things became more and more uncontrollable, and Concubine Rong gradually became in a passive position.

Even if she is a concubine, she can't control such a riot after all!

What happened in the imperial dining room was seen by people, and it spread ten, ten, and hundred, and soon reached the ears of the emperor.

The Imperial Study.

"What's going on over there in the Imperial Dining Room? How did Concubine Rong go to the imperial dining room? "Ever since the emperor heard the news from outside, he has been frowning and thinking.

"Your Majesty, the servants don't know, the person sent to inquire about the news hasn't come back yet, so the emperor is a little restless." After Xue Gui heard about this, he immediately sent someone to inquire, but no one came back until now.

"Emperor Qiqi, there is a palace maid who asks to see her, and she says that it is Xiyue, the maid next to Yuqing." Just when Xue Gui was in a hurry, the eunuch outside the imperial study knocked on the door and came in to say goodbye.

"Xuan."

The emperor's movements stopped slightly, and after a while, he asked people to announce her in.

When Xiyue heard the emperor's announcement, she inevitably became nervous.

And just when she was about to lose it and wanted to turn away, she suddenly thought of Yu Qing, thinking that she was still being wronged, so she gritted her teeth and walked into the imperial study.

"Slave maid...... Slave and maid see...... Your Majesty, Long live the Emperor......"

"Alright, let's just say it." Xue Gui saw that she was so nervous that she couldn't even understand what she said, and he didn't look at the emperor's expression, so he interrupted her.
