On the way to Yongle Palace, Concubine Shu sat in the sedan chair and was a little irritable, caressing the already obvious abdomen with one hand, and pressing the handkerchief pinched with the other hand on her forehead.

"It's too hot this day, Celestia is sick, she really knows how to pick time!" She stabbed sourly.

Er Qiao hurriedly commanded the little eunuch who carried the sedan chair to move faster, saving the heat of their family's concubine Niangniang and the little prince, and no one could afford it.

She smiled sweetly, but there was a malicious mockery in the faint voice that spoke to Concubine Shu.

"Didn't the girl who was tortured with the rod just because it was too hot and had a stick sore? Although the circumstances are different, there are good healing medicines waiting for you, but on such a hot day, even if it can be good, I'm afraid it will leave some marks, which is a pity~"

Concubine Shu shook her handkerchief and fanned the wind, her tone lazy.

"Isn't it? God intends to send disasters, and a few people can hide~"

In order to make her happy, Er Qiao talked about the sick and fragile appearance in the Hanyu Hall that she had heard recently, but unexpectedly, Concubine Shu ignored her, just listened stunned.

Although there was no word in the harem, she didn't know who the little girl identified before she died.

In addition to her, there are also queens, He Baolin......

Although there was no conclusive evidence, His Majesty did not accept it later, and directly sealed the mouths of those present. But there is no impermeable wall in the world, and those who should know know it.

So, is Your Majesty really not convinced?

When she came to the gate of Yongle Palace, Concubine Shu thought to herself, it seems that since the day Concubine Xian temporarily took over the palace power, this palace that she once despised has abandoned its previous indifference and tranquility, and lively events have emerged one after another. The dust has settled on Wen Meiren's affairs, and the protagonist of this play has become the eldest princess again.

She gathered all her emotions and walked in slowly, but unsurprisingly she didn't see the queen, and received a large number of invitations from the little concubines who rushed to hear the news, even He Zhaorong, He Jieyu, and Li Jieyu came.

But what made her eyes can't take her eyes off is indeed another person who is very eye-catching.

It's not the sick seedling of Hanyu Hall who lives closely, but the cheap maid who should have died but didn't die!

Concubine Shu looked coldly at the thin woman dressed as a palace person and talked to Concubine Xian.

“…… It's really not a coincidence, Your Majesty was about to leave for the arrival, and an urgent report of the military situation was sent in front of him......"

Concubine Xian nodded: "Your Majesty is on official business, and this palace naturally understands." I also asked Miss Zhiwei to go back and tell Your Majesty that the palace will take good care of the eldest princess and not let Your Majesty be distracted by the trivial matters of the harem. ”

As if she hadn't heard the second half of the sentence, Zhi Wei still said with a standard smile: "Your Majesty ordered the slave maid to assist the maid to take care of the eldest princess here, and the maid can rest assured that the slave maid also had chickenpox when she was a child, and she is not afraid of infection." If the mother has any instructions, just tell the slave maid. ”

Concubine Xian's tense expression relaxed slightly, and she nodded at Lilac, who led Zhiwei in.

Only then did she get distracted from Concubine Shu, said a few affectionate polite words, and then gave a tactful and beautiful eviction order.

"Sisters, you love the heart of the eldest princess, and I, as a mother, have taken it for her first. Now the weather is not good, and the eldest princess is such a disease, although it is not very dangerous for adults, but if you are tired of running around for the eldest princess, don't say it is me, even the eldest princess will be sincerely afraid when she knows about it. When the princess is better, I will take her to the palaces again to express my gratitude. ”

In the end, he solemnly thanked Concubine Shu, the mother concubine who came with a six-month-old belly.

"Sister Shufei's heart couldn't be kinder, but now it's different from the past, your body is heavy, and you can't stay here, so go back first~·"

With the eviction order of the master's family, coupled with the bad news that His Majesty was busy with official business and would not come, the concubines quickly followed Concubine Shu to retire.

He Zhaorong deliberately provoked the topic of "Wen Meiren lived so close and didn't see her show up", He Jieyu echoed with a smile, and everyone even made some explicit or euphemistic praise for Concubine Shu's fearless spirit today, and there were many people who secretly rubbed and mentioned the queen for comparison.

If there were still people who thought that the queen could regain the power of the palace with the piece of meat in her stomach, but after the incident of Wen Meiren, the direction of the wind in the palace slowly changed.

Although the words that the palace maid next to Wen Meiren said before she was beaten to death did not spread, most of the women in the palace were very sensitive to these things.

It stands to reason that Concubine Xian has been in charge of the palace for less than three months, and there has been a disturbance in the palace about Wen Meiren, and there is also a person in the palace who was almost poisoned.

His Majesty named the queen to come forward and investigate with Concubine Xian, which may be the best opportunity to transfer the palace power back into the hands of the queen.

Unexpectedly, after the case was investigated, there was no follow-up, the palace power was still in the hands of Concubine Xian, and the queen still had to quietly raise the fetus in Kunxu Palace.

Although Concubine Xian is always humble when she sees people, and she talks about the queen's fetus, she can't help others from thinking too much. Coupled with the fact that the queen did not come today, the contradiction between the two palaces seems to have intensified to the extreme, and it is no wonder that the people below have decided to stand in line again.

Concubine Shu saw that half of the purpose of coming over today had been achieved, and she was very happy to hear this, but she still had to pretend to say two words for the queen, saying that the queen was weak and weak, and that she should be cautious if she was less than three months old, and it seemed that someone in Kunxu Palace had called the imperial doctor, and so on.

Seeing this, the concubines admired the well-informed lady even more. However, only they know how much the scale has floated in their hearts.

He Baolin, who lived in the side hall of Yongle Palace, was a little worried in his heart.

In the past, when Concubine Xian was not powerful, although she did not lose the basic courtesy to Concubine Xian, she was indeed not respectful enough.

When he first entered the palace, His Majesty once came to Yongle Palace to see the pregnant concubine, but she was intercepted by her on the way. Although Concubine Xian didn't say anything, her attitude later was always indifferent.

But Concubine Xian doesn't remember villains, and the matter of Wen Meiren almost pulled her into it last time, but fortunately, Concubine Xian came forward to clarify for her, and she escaped. He Baolin felt that this should be due to the fact that she often ran to the main hall in the past few months and brushed her face many times in front of Concubine Xian.

After this incident, He Baolin strengthened her determination to mess with Concubine Xian, but now she wanted to go to the main hall to help, but she was looked at by Ding Xiang and others with vigilant eyes from beginning to end, as if she was something harmful.

He Baolin was a little aggrieved, but he also knew that Concubine Xian was not what it used to be, and this kind of opportunity to please was not common.

After Concubine Xian gave the order to evict the guest, she still leaned over with a worried face and directly proposed to Concubine Xian that she wanted to help take care of the eldest princess.

She didn't have much hope, but she didn't expect that Concubine Xian actually thought about it and agreed.

So, He Baolin worked with Zhi Wei to start with Ding Xiang and others, and was responsible for some trivial work, such as changing the handkerchief and testing the water temperature.

Although the sense of existence is not high, He Baolin is still quite complacent in her heart, anyway, she also had chickenpox when she was a child, and she is not afraid of being infected by the eldest princess. When the eldest princess is well, Concubine Xian will definitely remember her love, and maybe she can make a name for herself with Your Majesty......

Thinking of this, she saw that Zhi Wei, the "competitor" who came to the palace, was even more unpleasant, and began to compete with Zhi Wei everywhere, and asked Zhi Wei to do those jobs outside the palace. Strangely, although the latter was surprised, he didn't have any opinion, but was quite happy.

"In the end, it is the first of the only two princesses in the palace, Your Majesty is a loving father, and most of you will have to come over when you are busy, and you will be able to show your face in front of Your Majesty~"

He Baolin thought beautifully, except for the sudden aggravation of the eldest princess's condition that night, things developed as she imagined.

The next day, the emperor really came in a hurry, and he didn't even change his court clothes, as if he had just returned from the court meeting, and as soon as he entered the door, he asked where the imperial doctor was.

He Baolin was about to step forward to reply, but was quickly squeezed aside by Lilac Eye.

"Your Majesty, the two imperial doctors are treating the eldest princess, and Concubine Xian Niangniang is also ......"

He Baolin glared at Lilac dissatisfiedly, and took advantage of the emperor's more than a dozen steps to say that she had been brewing all night and showing how hard she had worked to serve the sick.

His Majesty really stopped and glanced at her, and said, "He Baolin has a heart."

He Baolin happily followed in, reminiscing about the emperor's eyes while imagining a beautiful picture in the future.

Then, she was taken aback by the diagnosis of the imperial doctor.

Or rather, everyone present was taken aback.

"Celestia doesn't have chickenpox, it's a rash all over her body, it looks like it's caused by contact with some kind of foreign object......"

Concubine Xian was the first to react: "What did the imperial doctor say? However, the clothes of the eldest princess are the cleanest, they are washed every day, and they changed three sets of ...... yesterday."

The imperial doctor looked hesitant and couldn't say a whole sentence.

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly froze, and most people realized that something was wrong, and the palace people lowered their heads and tried to make themselves transparent.

The emperor said in a strange tone: "Isn't the imperial doctor still afraid to speak directly in front of me? I don't want to say it again. ”

The gauze hat on the imperial doctor's head trembled, his face became more resolute, and a long list of words immediately appeared in his mouth, as if he had already made a draft.

"If the diagnosis is correct, the rash on the eldest princess should be caused by contact with some kind of medicinal powder. This powder may be mixed with the water used to wash clothes, or it may be applied to objects that Princess Celestia can reach. If you have been exposed to ...... for many years"

The imperial doctor finally paused, did not wipe his sweat, and continued: "It will be poisoned!" ”

Concubine Xian was so shocked that she took two steps back, looked back at the sleeping girl on the bed, and screamed for the imperial doctor to find out the so-called poisonous powder.

The palace people are also terrified, especially Lilac, the nurse of the eldest princess and others, they are all people who have contact with the eldest princess every day, if the eldest princess is poisoned, then they may also be poisoned?

"If Wei Chen's expectation is good, the dose of medicinal powder that Princess Celestia came into contact with is slight, and there are no obvious symptoms of poisoning on her pulse. It's just that children's skin is delicate, dozens of times more delicate than adults, so this kind of poisonous powder that adults don't notice has already appeared on Princess Celestia. ”

As soon as these words came out, the panic of the palace people temporarily subsided.

Concubine Xian shed a few tears, no longer scruples to sit on the edge of the bed, hugged the eldest princess and began to murmur.

The emperor looked at this scene very calmly, and suddenly asked: "Imperial Doctor, I seem to remember that on the day of Wen Meiren's accident not long ago, the palace people I transferred to take care of Wen Meiren were hit with a poison that is somewhat similar to what you just described?" ”

The sweat on the Imperial Doctor's forehead increased.

"Your Majesty, there seems to be something in common between these two medicinal powders. It's just that Wei Chen dared to assert it if he found traces in the clothes of the eldest princess. ”

The Emperor said, "In that case, look for it now." ”

Huo Yanzhi's tone was very calm, he sat aside casually, and his eyes were not shocked when he watched everyone scramble to investigate, until a thin figure flashed at the door of the hall, and he moved his fingers.

After one stick of incense, less than two sticks of incense, someone shouted happily.

"Found it!"

Soon another person sulked and said, "There are also here." ”

Concubine Xian's delicate eyebrows were tightly twisted, her cheeks were a little more red because of crying, and her eyes were even more faintly blue and black, and she looked very haggard.

"It's appalling and unbelievable that they would do their hands and feet on the nurse's clothes and these sweat towels! Your Majesty, you are the monarch's father, you want to be the master of the eldest princess~"

The emperor touched the hot forehead of the eldest princess, and said casually, but said: "Now that the palace power is in your hands, you can let it go." Didn't you investigate the matter of Wen Meiren in detail last time? ”

Concubine Xian's heart jumped, and she pinched her palm without a trace, and the not sharp pain made her sober up instantly.

Facing the emperor's calm eyes again, her slightly chaotic breathing also calmed down.

"Yes, the concubine obeys."
