Yongyan wanted to open his mouth to ask why Concubine Xun was so shocked by the Queen Mother, but he didn't expect that it was his own Gege who died, knowing that Xuejun was suffering from smallpox, he was not too shocked, he only sighed and said: "I only have three Gege, why did God take away another one." ”

Rugui Concubine seemed to be shocked by the side, and the Queen Mother also sighed and said: "Xue Xun has always been a well-behaved child, and the mourning family likes it very much, I never thought about .....it" The Queen Mother also shed two tears when she said it.

Concubine Xun raised her bloodshot eyes, "Your Majesty, it's not God who took away Xuejun, but artificially!" Ask the emperor and the queen mother to make decisions for Xuejun. ”

"Why is that?" The Queen Mother asked puzzled.

"The Queen Mother, Xuejun's smallpox has already been acupunctured, and the imperial doctor said that there are signs of reversal, but the queen sent a bowl of medicine to the concubine, and Xuejun was poisoned to death!" Concubine Xun held back the grief in her heart and said it word by word.

Yongyan and the Queen Mother suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and the Queen Mother said with a relieved face: "The queen is not this kind of person, there must be some misunderstanding here, call the queen over." ”

I helped the queen to the direction of Cining Palace, I nervously held the queen's hand, but the queen patted my hand as if comforting, and said: "I haven't seen any strong winds and waves in the palace in this palace, today's incident is just a small trick, but it is definitely a painful blow to this woman." I nodded knowingly.

Although it has been in the palace for more than a year, it is the first time to come to Cining Palace, the queen mother is not in good health and needs to recuperate, and she never likes concubines to go to ask for peace, and only Yongyan, the queen, such as the concubine and others often come.

Walking into the hall, there was a large insert screen with a red sandalwood shelf on the ground blocking the view, turning the interstitial, and entering the inner room through the curtain.

I bowed my eyebrows and said, "The concubine greets the Queen Mother and the Emperor, and I wish the Queen Mother all the blessings and peace." ”

The Queen Mother nodded slightly, and I looked up and saw the Queen Mother sitting in the first Huaguan costume, dressed in navy blue and gold and wearing a floral satin dress, a pair of bright and focused eyes, two bent and modified willow leaf thin eyebrows, slightly bloated, with a face of authority and no anger, and also looking at me.

The Queen Mother looked at me casually and said, "He looks very handsome, cautious and reasonable, and the mourning family has never seen it." ”

"Huang Eniang, this is my concubine." Yongyan said, the Queen Mother nodded silently, just looked at the Queen who was standing below with an expressionless face.

The queen's face was dark yellow, and she looked sick, and the queen mother said with pity: "I heard that the queen is seriously ill and seems to have lost a lot of weight today, how is it now, but I can follow the instructions of the imperial doctor to take medicine." ”

The queen said softly: "Back to the emperor's mother, now it's like this, but I feel that it is getting heavier and heavier day by day." ”

Ru Guifei gently fiddled with the armor in her hand, glanced at the queen contemptuously, and the corner of her mouth showed a sneer that others were aware of.

Yongyan straightened up slightly, pointed to the concubine who was crying on the ground and said, "Queen, you must know what happened on the way here." ”

"Your Majesty, that bowl of medicine was indeed sent to Xue Jun Gege by the concubine, but the concubine was not poisoned, but the concubine is also Xue Xun's imperial mother." The queen said without changing her face.

I owed a debt and said: "Your Majesty, the concubine believes that the queen will not do this, and the queen also went to visit Xue Jungege in person that day, it was the concubine who saw it with her own eyes, the queen is worthy of being the head of the six palaces, how can the queen poison Gege?" The emperor might as well call Cai Wei, the palace maid who delivered the medicine that day, to ask. ”

Yongyan nodded, Cai Wei was brought up by two guards, knelt on the ground and said tremblingly: "Back to the Queen Mother and the Emperor, it was the slave who sent the medicine, and the slave did not have the heart to kill Gege, let alone the courage to take the medicine." ”

"You have always been bold and careful, do you have to be ordered by this palace to torture you before you are willing to confess, why do you want to use Xue Xun Gege to frame this palace?" There was a little gloom in the queen's voice.

Cai Wei's face turned pale for a while, and she said as if she remembered something: "The slave maid even has ten dares not dare to do this rebellious thing, and the slave maid remembered that on the way to deliver medicine, she met a person who was a Li Kite from the Eternal Longevity Palace. ”

Cai Wei glanced at the leisurely Ru Guifei, who had nothing to do with herself, and then said: "The queen mother said that the medicine was bitter, so she asked the slave maid to bring candied fruit to Gege, but the slave forgot that she happened to meet Li Kite halfway, so she asked Li Kite to send it, so Li Kite is not without suspicion." ”

"Bring a lily kite!" Yongyan's face sank, and his voice echoed in the hall.

Ruguifei glanced at Li Yuan suspiciously, and couldn't remember that there was such a palace maid in her palace, and Qingluan next to her attached to Ru Guifei's ear and said: "Niangniang, this Li Kite is a palace maid who does rough work in our palace, and Niangniang naturally doesn't recognize it." "If the concubine's heart sinks, this is not so simple.

It was also the first time for Li Yuan to see such a big formation, and she was very scared, and said: "The slave and maid are wronged, and the slave and maid didn't expect to cause such a big trouble by helping Sister Caiwei send a medicine scripture." ”

The Queen Mother snorted coldly and said, "This is strange, they all say that they are wronged, could it be that this poison ran into it by themselves!" ”

As soon as the Queen Mother's voice fell, someone outside the door came to report, and the palace maid asked to see her, and I said in my heart: "The most important thing is here." ”

Fu Feng suddenly knelt down and saluted upright, glanced at Li Yuan, and said: "When the slave maid went to Enchang in the palace at noon today, when she passed by the Dexin Gate, she saw the Li Kite sneakily hiding in the corner of the wall, and the slave and maid waited for her to go and picked up some medicine residue paper in the corner of the wall. Fufeng said sincerely, and I glanced at Fufeng with satisfaction.

The cold eyes around him gathered on Li Kite's body, and Li Kite couldn't help but shiver and said, "Slave... The slave and the maid are recruited, and it is the poison of the slave and the maid. ”

Concubine Xun was almost excited to come over and tear the li, Yongyan asked coldly: "If you are a slave and maid without someone to instruct, how can you have such ambition and leopard guts." ”

Li Kite seemed to look at Ru Guifei in horror, and it was this glance that Ru Guifei felt a chill in her body.

Ruguifei's worry was indeed not wrong, and Li Yuan said in a panic: "Yes... It's like a concubine......."

"Dog minion, what did you say?" Ru Guifei almost roared and stood up from the pear wooden chair, and felt that she had lost her manners, and her face eased, and said: "Queen Mother, Emperor, don't listen to this slave, she is just a shameless palace maid beside me, and I can't even remember who she is in the palace, how could I send her to poison Gege, and why did the concubine poison Gege?" ”

Concubine Xun said coldly on the side: "Guifei Niangniang, the concubine remembers that day you sent someone to move Xue Xun to Nanshui Garden, don't you know what kind of place Nanshui Garden is?" So why is that? ”

"The emperor ordered the concubines to assist the queen in taking care of the harem, and the concubines were worried about the safety of the harem, so they boldly let Gege go to Nanshui Garden. At this point, I hope that the emperor will forgive the sin. ”

"Forgiveness? I'm afraid that's why you killed you. I didn't speak for a long time, and I said coldly.

Rugui Concubine looked at everyone with a pair of Danfeng eyes, sneered, and said: "This palace understands, this is clearly digging a fire pit for this palace to jump in, and the emperor and they are framing me together." ”

Yongyan changed his previous attitude towards Ruguifei's harmony, looked at the people around him, and said for a while: "Could it be that Concubine Xun will poison her daughter with her own hands?" ”

If the concubine opened her mouth and knew that she was speechless now, she didn't speak and just listened to what Yongyan did with her, because she believed that Yongyan would never punish her heavily.

Unexpectedly, Concubine Zhuang walked in with tears on her face, and before she could speak, there was a string of crying, and said, "Your Majesty, take pity on poor Xue Cigege." ”

"What's going on here? Why are things crowded together today? Yongyan said impatiently.

Concubine Zhuang wiped away her tears and said: "For example, the concubine sent a few clothes to Xue Cigege, and the concubine didn't care about it at first, but she found a handkerchief in the mezzanine of the clothes, and the handkerchief was confirmed to be used by the concubine to wipe the sweat of Xue Cigege, fortunately, the concubine found it early, otherwise the consequences are not conceivable." ”

"The child is innocent, even if Concubine Jian had a blood feud with Niangniang before her death, Niangniang should not vent her hatred on Gege." I still added oil and vinegar and said coldly.

If the concubine wanted to argue, Yongyan couldn't hold her breath anymore and asked, "You sent the clothes?" Ru Guifei nodded.

"Why do you treat my Gege like this, you are also a person with children, why can't you understand the heart of being a mother?" Yongyan's cold words hit Ruguifei.

Ru Guifei still maintained a dignified posture and said: "The emperor and the queen mother's concubines are wronged. ”

Yongyan ordered Concubine Xun to glance at the handkerchief, it was indeed Concubine Xun's. He called the Imperial Doctor again, and the Imperial Doctor confirmed that Xue Xun was almost healed, and the paper on the corner of the wall was indeed poison.

My hearts and those of the queen, Concubine Zhuang, and Concubine Xun all rose to our throats, and the well-planned bureau finally waited for the emperor to come to ruling.

Yongyan helplessly glanced at Concubine Ru, who refused to admit her guilt, and said, "Jingwan, your relationship with me for nearly twenty years, I never dreamed that you would be such a person, what else do you have to say?" ”

Rugui Concubine ignored Yongyan's words, and just glanced at the queen and me, with a provocation in her eyes, as if to say, "Don't be too complacent." ”

When Yongyan's will came down, I had already returned to the palace, because Yongyan had made his decision two days later.

For example, the concubine Niu Colu Jingwan, who was reduced to a concubine, thought about it behind closed doors in the Yongshou Palace, and was not allowed to go out unless she was called.

The queen had already guessed that even such a light punishment would hurt the vitality of the woman, but Concubine Xun was unwilling to exchange her daughter for this result.

I sighed with admiration, no matter what the result is, this will become more and more difficult after the days in the palace.

For Ru Concubine of Yongshou Palace, she didn't care about this little setback at all, and a temporary loss of power was nothing, because she believed that she would rise.
