Shu Niangzi shuddered: "There is such a vicious and powerful method in the world? ”

"Fang Fei can only be used for tiger thorn plum to have a poisonous effect, and the tiger thorn plum was originally only planted in the palace, and this shady method is limited." The queen mother was still smiling and groaning, as if to comfort Shu Niangzi that she didn't have to see the flowers change, and after she went back, she uprooted her own flowers and plants because of the shadow of the cup bow and snake.

"Empress Dowager Zhang is so ruthless!" Shu Niangzi did not ignore where this pot of life-threatening flowers came from because of the Queen Mother's disapproval: "Empress Dowager Zhang knew that Niangniang usually did not like to fake hands when repairing bonsai, and deliberately murdered Niangniang with this strange poison, thinking that she could hide it from the world." ”

"Hiding from the world?" The Queen Mother shook her head: "This kind of strange poisonous secret is indeed not widely known, but there is a type of person who has stayed in the palace for a long time, and how much has mastered such vicious tricks, how can this kind of thing be completely hidden?" But even Xiao Gu knew the usefulness of Fang Feiya, just now when he heard that this potted plant was a tiger thorn plum, his expression was so solemn. ”

The "one type of person" mentioned by the Queen Mother actually refers to the people of the palace of the ministers, and even includes the imperial doctor.

No matter which dynasty or generation, the power of the Forbidden Garden in the Deep Palace is always the most fierce, so strange poisons and tricks are popular, but the competition for the concubines is often involuntarily, they don't say that they are pure and good before entering the palace, but the vast majority of people really don't understand those poisons that can't be prevented. And the battles between the concubines are often fake to the palace maids of the ministers, and even rely on these henchmen to give advice.

There is no old demon in this world who will not die for a long time, but because the eunuch palace maid has no hope of marrying children, their "inheritance" has never relied on blood, and they will pass on their tricks of winning "wealth" to the "successor" they choose, so even if the country changes hands and the dynasty changes, the poisonous tricks in the deep palace have never been "lost".

But if someone dies of poisoning, it is inevitable to investigate the murderer, especially a generation of medical officials like Gao Taiyi, who is naturally not ignorant of the strange poisons and tricks circulating in the palace, and he taught this "stunt" to Qiao Zhuang, so Chun Hui can know the poisonous effect of Fang Feiyao.

As for the queen mother, she has lived in the palace for too long, and she has also gone through the smooth "promotion" from the queen to the queen mother, and she really holds the supreme authority of the harem, and she also has her own way to know about this kind of trick.

"I'm not underestimating Shoukang Palace, our Holy Lady don't talk about Fang Feiyan, I'm afraid I can't recognize this flower as a tiger thorn plum, even if there are ministers and palace maids around her who know this trick, Zhang's family doesn't have such a ruthless heart, she is not so ruthless, although her instrument is narrow, her ears are soft, her conscience is not completely ignorant, and she can't kill people with a ruthless heart." The Queen Mother sneered: "Not to mention that Fang Fei provoked this poison when it was used by the concubine in the previous dynasty, and it was recorded in the internal file of the previous dynasty, Imperial Doctor Gao will definitely not be ignorant, this pot of tiger thorn plum was sent from Shoukang Palace, if I am really poisoned, how can Shoukang Palace get rid of the crime?" ”

Shu Niangzi completely woke up: "The Empress Dowager Shengci is being used again. ”

"Qin Yu still lived up to the emperor's hopes in the end, and he couldn't stop him from tossing towards the high wall of Fengyang." The Queen Mother sighed.

"The concubine has a plan that can make those who instigate the grandson to do evil show their feet." Chungui didn't have any regrets for the grandson's suicide, she was thinking about how to catch the murderer who instigated the grandson to murder the Empress Dowager of Cining Palace this time.

The Queen Mother naturally did not hesitate, when this pot of tiger thorn plum was sent to Cining Palace, it was destined that she could only make up her mind.

The secret decree of Emperor Hongfu ended

Her old man's wish to enjoy purity, even if she doesn't help King Zhou to seize the prince, she has become a thorn in the side of the grandson who believes that he will not get rid of unhappiness, although it is inevitable that a person will die in a lifetime, but the queen mother is not willing to die unexpectedly, and she can't even involve the king of Zhou to become her funeral - the grandson didn't even let go of her great-grandmother, where would he let go of King Zhou after succeeding to the throne?

"Xiao Gu will tell the old woman about the plan first." The Queen Mother leaned comfortably on the pillow, not feeling how urgent the next war would be, and her demeanor was as leisurely as listening to Chungui's nonsense.

——

When Emperor Hongfu came to Cining Palace to greet him today, he didn't notice anything unusual about the Queen Mother, until he heard that Shoukang Palace sent bonsai to Cining Palace, and Emperor Hongfu looked stunned.

He knew that the grandson sent two bonsai to Shoukang Palace, but he didn't take it to heart, because his biological mother, the Empress Dowager Shengci, doted on the grandson more than the crown princess, and the grandson was also very close to Shoukang Palace, no matter how mad he was, it was impossible to murder the Empress Dowager Zhang, so Emperor Hongfu didn't want to delve into the matter, but he didn't expect the Empress Dowager Zhang to send bonsai to Cining Palace.

"It's okay to be free today, and my son can also accompany his mother to enjoy bonsai?" Emperor Hongfu offered it.

When he saw the tiger thorn plum that had been uprooted, his face completely changed.

"It's Fang Fei Yao, highly poisonous, if I don't notice it, I will definitely be poisoned in March at the earliest and May at the latest, has the emperor ever heard of Fang Fei Yao's poisonous effect?"

It took Emperor Hongfu a long time to respond: "It is difficult for my son to familiarize himself with these strange poisons and tricks circulating in the palace, but because there is a favorite concubine of Lu Yuan Wenzong in the previous dynasty who was harmed by Fang Fei, his son has a slight impression." ”

However, the records of the internal files are not very detailed, and Emperor Hongfu felt that there was no need to know about this kind of poisonous effect, and he was not even sure that with the change of dynasty, there was no one who knew the method of making this strange poison, and in his shallow impression, he remembered that this poison was applied to the roots of the planted flowers, which could cause the poisoned person to rot all over his body.

So he just heard that the Empress Dowager Zhang sent a bonsai to Cining Palace, and was faintly uneasy, thinking of finding an excuse to persuade the Empress Dowager to transfer this bonsai, so that Gao Deyi could verify whether this bonsai had been tampered with, but he didn't expect the Empress Dowager to discover the trick before him.

"Queen Mother...... The son is really embarrassed that such an evil thing happened in the Cining Palace, but the son implored the queen mother to trust, and this matter has nothing to do with the Empress Dowager Shengci. Emperor Hongfu was anxious to defend his biological mother.

"I know it has nothing to do with Shoukang Palace." The Queen Mother sighed: "During this period of time, the emperor has come to Cining Palace almost every day to ask for peace, and has also increased manpower to supervise and guard in the imperial dining room, and even secretly told the Shanggong Palace not to be negligent. ”

Emperor Hongfu was stunned.

Because he has not yet made up his mind and is still hesitating about how to deal with this matter, someone instigated the grandson to poison his relatives and even concealed it for the time being in Cining Palace, but he didn't expect that the queen mother couldn't stand the queen mother's "idle speculation"......

"The queen suddenly fell ill in Kunren Palace, and even the affairs of the palace were handed over to Concubine Jing and his concubines, and the emperor also condemned Wu Sixing and exiled him, I guessed again, it should be Wu Sixing who leaked the secret decree to the queen?"

"Don't speculate anymore." Emperor Hongfu sighed: "My son is embarrassed, I really didn't expect Yu'er to ...... He really dared to do such a great rebellion. ”

"The emperor just punished the queen a little

commandment, it should be concluded that the queen did not instigate the grandson to do evil. This is really the Queen Mother's guess.

"If the queen really has a poisonous plan because of this, she will never let Yu'er get into danger, so her son did not punish the queen severely." Emperor Hongfu's long sigh came one after another: "I only hate my son for being incompetent, and I haven't found out who instigated the grandson to do evil." ”

"I have a person who is skeptical, and there is a way to verify it, but if it is verified, I am afraid that this matter will inevitably be publicized." The Queen Mother lowered her eyebrows: "I don't want to force the emperor to investigate this case." ”

But Emperor Hongfu had no choice.

The more the Queen Mother persecuted, the more he blamed himself, how could he forget the Queen Mother's grace of protection and assistance? He can't ignore the crimes of those who intend to harm his mother-in-law for the sake of selfish power, even if this matter involves the grandson, this time it must be investigated to the end.

The plan of the spring return was implemented immediately after the queen mother sought the approval of Emperor Hongfu, but of course the queen mother did not tell Emperor Hongfu who was making the plan, and it was not the merit that was borne by the thorough investigation of this case, but the risk, although the queen mother would definitely not be angered by the emperor because of this, it may not be possible to return to the spring.

And one of the chess pieces is Qiao Jieyu.

Concubine Hui was conceited and wise, but after her niece Jiang Junbao experienced a dangerous accident that was almost chopped off by the concubine, Concubine Hui didn't realize that Qiao Jieyu was actually the queen's person, but this did not prevent Qiao Jieyu from worrying because Queen Shen lost the right to manage the harem.

Speaking of which, Qiao Jieyu is not Queen Shen's confidant, at least the secret of Emperor Hongfu's secret decree Empress Shen did not leak it at all to let Qiao Jieyu know, Qiao Jieyu was even more confused about why Queen Shen was suddenly deprived of the power of the six palaces, she went to Kunren Palace to visit, and like the rest of the concubines, Qiao Jieyu had to suspect that just like the rumors, the emperor had decided to abolish the prince, the East Palace could not be saved, and Queen Shen was also implicated in the cold.

This backer can't be counted on, and Qiao Jieyu is really not optimistic about Concubine Hui, she is anxious to find another backer.

The first choice is, of course, the queen mother of Cining Palace, so Qiao Jieyu has been very attentive to the province recently, but unfortunately nine out of ten times she was rejected, and the queen mother did not give her a chance to flatter at all.

But on this day, the Queen Mother allowed Qiao Jieyu to enter to visit, and Qiao Jieyu was so unhappy.

As soon as she entered the flower pavilion with the palace people, she saw the pot of tiger thorn plum, although Qiao Jieyu said that Qiao Jieyu had seen it, there were many plants on the Long Live Mountain, but she had never seen that this flower could be used to create a bonsai, and it was so gorgeous and chic...... Even if there is nothing rare, she must be surprised, but she must feel surprised, but she is not seeing that the Queen Mother is asking Xiao Gongling to paint this bonsai, as if she likes it very much.

Qiao Jieyu praised this pot of tiger thorn plums.

The Queen Mother said logically: "A few years ago, I lost a pot of tiger thorn plum, and now that I am older, I have lost the spirit to maintain this delicate bonsai, and I am afraid that I will spoil this pot of flowers, so I let Ah Xiao paint it first." ”

Qiao Jieyu's eyes rolled and she seized the opportunity: "If the concubine is not clumsy, the concubine would like to come to Cining Palace every day to help the mother maintain these flowers and plants, and also dye some of the elegance of the mother." ”

"I have received your heart." The Queen Mother smiled and said: "This pot of flowers will reward you, you have wasted some thoughts and really raised it, I see that I still have the talent to serve flowers and plants, so I can rest assured that the flowers and plants in this palace will be handed over to you for maintenance." ”

So on this day, the tiger thorn plum in Cining Palace followed Qiao Jieyu to "return" to Changle Palace.
