"I originally wanted you to come to serve me, after all, I want to speak to the emperor personally, but since you are willing to serve at Yao Meiren, I won't force you." Concubine Xia happily took Han Shanggong's hand and asked, "You have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, and you want to come to Yao Meiren's busy time, say, what's the matter?" ”

Seeing that Concubine Xia was not going around in circles, Han Shanggong also said generously, "The slave knows that Niangniang, you usually fast and worship the Buddha, this time I came to ask for good luck for Yao Meiren and the princess, so that you can help Shang Shangxiang, Yao Mei's body is still empty, so it is inconvenient for her to come." ”

Concubine Xia is a person who has to do it, and since Han Shanggong has asked for her eyes, he naturally wants to help.

"Worship the Buddha, it still depends on the sincerity of the person, I can help you this time, remember to let Yao Meiren come next time, otherwise the Buddha will think that her heart is not sincere."

Han Shanggong heard the meaning of the joke in these words, and smiled faintly and didn't say anything else.

But Concubine Xia seemed to remember something, "I heard that Yao Meiren was born prematurely on the day she gave birth, what happened?" ”

"Little master, she was poisoned, and I haven't found out who the poisoner is."

"Oh?" Concubine Xia's very real emotions show that she doesn't know about this, "And this?" Didn't you find any clues? ”

Han Shanggong shook his head and tried to answer as briefly as possible, "The emperor is checking it now, but the slave has already found a little clue, I don't know if these will help the little master to be poisoned." ”

"Then you say." Concubine Xia hadn't heard what Han Shanggong meant.

"The slave maid thinks that Concubine De is a little strange now."

Concubine Xia paused, as if she didn't hear the meaning of her words, and asked, "I don't quite understand the meaning of Han Shanggong. ”

Han Shanggong didn't continue to bend with her, "Concubine De Niangniang has always treated people with virtue and kindness, and the same is true for Yao Meiren, the little master of the slave, but that was before the adoption of the second prince, I don't know if Niangniang knows that Concubine Qing Niangniang has been imprisoned, so before Yao Meiren gave birth, the only one who could sit on the throne was the second prince." ”

Concubine Xia didn't argue with her, but only listened to her quietly.

"The slave knows that it is impossible to believe these words without any basis or evidence, but it is inferred that only Concubine De Niangniang has this motive to harm Yao Meiren, and it is the same reason as Concubine Qing Niangniang who killed Yao Meiren, Niang Bing Xue is smart, I am afraid that she has already figured it out."

The person in front of her is none other than the one who survived in the last palace fight, Han Shanggong knows that the reason why she is smart and transparent is precisely because she has courage and insight, and everything is clear, so that she can easily not make mistakes and not let people catch her weaknesses.

And Concubine De, unless you insist on reasoning, Concubine Xia should already have a number in her heart.

"Since Han Shanggong said that, he thought he had caught something fatal with one blow, so why did he come to tell me?" Concubine Xia sat down slowly, "Fei Yan She has been in the palace for many years, and I am afraid that it is very clear how deep the water is, if Han Shanggong thinks that she did it, it is understandable, but everything is a piece of evidence, I have not been in contact with Fei Yan for a long time, and I can say that I have no knowledge of this matter." ”

What this means is, don't talk nonsense if you don't have evidence, even if you have evidence, it has nothing to do with me, and it won't affect her.

For her words, Han Shanggong had thought of it a long time ago.

Two smart people talk together, the only advantage is that they are not tired, they can understand what the other party says, but the disadvantage is that they are too tired, and every time the other party says a sentence, they have to think for a long time before they receive the last sentence.

"The slave has no evidence." Han Shanggong said calmly, "What the slave and maid said is all speculation, but the slave and maid will carefully find out who poisoned Yao Meiren, of course, it cannot be said that the slave and maid will stare at Concubine De to death." ”

"I heard that most of the poisons given to Yao Meiren are medicinal materials from the Western Regions, and there are very few of them here, and some are extremely rare, so that the imperial doctor has not yet dispensed the antidote, and the purpose of the slave maid is here today, I want to ask Niangniang, is there any person in the Luan family who is proficient in pharmacology, or is there someone who is known and close to Concubine De, and can make that kind of poison that makes people weak in qi and blood."

As soon as these words came out, Concubine Xia's frowning brows slowly relaxed, "I am Fei Yan's aunt, how can I help others frame her?" ”

It's not that she doesn't want to tell what she knows, but she is afraid that if Concubine De doesn't do this, she will be used by others a little, and then she and Concubine De won't be able to eat and walk around. The second is that if Concubine De really does such a stupid thing, she will be able to get out of the way at that time.

"The meaning of Niangniang's words is understood by the slave maid for the time being, but you just don't tell the slave maid." Han Shanggong smiled faintly, "The slave didn't come here to force you to do anything, I just hope you can think about it, if Concubine De really didn't do it, no one would be able to pour dirty water on her, but if Niang Niang did it and you didn't report it, then you will have to bear half of the harboring crime!" ”

The Luan family is no longer good compared to the Lu family, especially when the Luan family is in charge, that is, the eldest brother of Concubine Xia has died, and the Luan family is like an eagle with broken wings falling to the bottom of the cliff and slumping.

Concubine Xia can still rely on the title given to her by the first emperor and her son Prince Heng to be alone, but if Concubine De's trip affects her, it will not be good at that time.

Han Shanggong's words were threatening, but Concubine Xia was not a stupid person, she could tell which was more important.

And she has a sentence that is very right, if Concubine De really didn't do it, no one would be able to pour dirty water on her. After all, the palace gate is very strict, whoever brings what into the palace must be checked one by one before letting people in, those herbs may not be brought into the palace when the name of each tree is not recorded in detail, but as long as you check carefully, you can always find out what is wrong.

Since Concubine De didn't do it, she could return her innocence with just one check, and if she did, Concubine Xia would be able to get out first, and she would be able to ask for a favor in front of the emperor.

At this time, you can't say anything about the deep affection, after all, Concubine Xia was only seventeen years old when she entered the palace as a concubine, and Concubine De was not born at that time, and when they met again, Concubine De had already entered the palace as a concubine, and the two had no feelings, and it was just a big deal to say that the flesh and blood affection was just a big face, just like Concubine De had been in charge of palace affairs for so long, and she didn't say that she came to Fuyun Palace to see her aunt.

If you really treat her as your aunt, you won't have been in the palace for so long, and the two of them have only seen each other a few times since they were in a high position, right?

The same is true of words, since Concubine De didn't take her aunt seriously, why did Concubine Xia hide these things that she didn't need to hide?

Concealing these two words is special, the people who use it have ghosts in their hearts, Concubine Xia is a clean and neat person, and there is nothing worth grasping, so after thinking about it, she finally felt that she would tell what she knew.

"It's not much close, it's just that there is a doctor surnamed Liu in the Tai Hospital, and my second brother asked someone to get him into the palace on an errand, and I specially summoned him at that time, and I think Fei Yan also met with him, and his wife is friends with Fei Yan's mother, so her mother asked the second brother to find this errand for him."

Speaking of this, Concubine Xia seemed to remember something, and added, "But that Imperial Doctor Liu is just helping to dispense medicine, because of the problem of ability, he has never been seen by any master, if Han Shanggong is suspicious, he shouldn't be counted, right?" ”

Han Shanggong had already written it down by heart when he heard this, and replied, "Naturally, it is calculated, the person asked by the slave and maid has nothing to do with ability, the main thing is whether he is proficient in pharmacology, can help dispense medicine, and naturally can dispense poison, as well as those medicinal materials from the Western Regions, he secretly studied it at home when he entered the palace on an errand, as long as the emperor sent someone to find out in time while he was caught off guard, it was a sure thing." ”

"Han Shanggong has a vicious vision and has unique insights into doing things, I have always known that this is also the reason why I and the old sister of the Queen Mother like you alone!" Concubine Xia smiled slightly, picked up the tea on the table, and gently held up the bottom of the cup with her other hand, signaling to Han Shanggong.

And Han Shanggong also held up the cup, and the two drank it together.

"Liang'er, send off the guests, bring the door, and I'll go and copy the scriptures for Yao Meiren."

This is said slowly, but there is a different meaning hidden in the words.

It is not difficult to understand that Concubine Xia has become suspicious of her niece.

When Han Shanggong came out of the Fuyun Palace, it was already overcast outside, and it seemed that it could rain at any time.

The palace maid named Liang'er who sent her out looked up at the sky, and hurriedly ran back to get a tung oil umbrella and handed it to Han Shanggong, "Han Shanggong, it's going to rain on the way back, don't get drenched." ”

"Thank you, Miss Liang'er." Han Shanggong was polite to her and turned to leave.

Sure enough, less than halfway through the journey, it began to rain heavily, and the raindrops were so thin that they were like silver needles, and there was no sound on the umbrella.

Later, the rain gradually became heavier, and the sound of hitting the umbrella was crackling, which sounded very messy, but it made people feel a sense of security.

The West Palace is not close to the back garden, and after this trip, Han Shanggong stood still on the road and rested for a few breaths.

There are several unrepaired palace rooms on both sides of the palace road, because the relationship between the wind, the sun, the rain and the wind has fallen off, and the palace gate has not been closed for some reason, and Han Shanggong stood outside the palace gate for a while.

When I looked up, I saw the big words 'Zhaoning Pavilion' on the plaque.

The walls of the main hall have been damaged by more than half of them, and at a glance you can see that there has not been a person living in it for at least 180 years. If the emperor didn't mention that she wouldn't take the initiative to repair a palace for three or five years, and at this time, the Chen family finally stepped down, but I didn't expect Concubine De to take the throne. Although the West Palace is not a place where the favorite concubines live, it is also full of the favorite concubines of the first emperor during his lifetime, who has not been old? When Fang was in the Fuyun Palace, it was not difficult to see that there were also many places that needed to be carefully repaired.
