173. Guilt

knocked on the side door of Kunning Palace, Xu Shu remembered that Zhou Jin had just taken her through the secret passage of the royal family, would she be wiped out if she knew about such a confidential matter?

Just as she was figuring out how likely it was to kill her with her thoughtful temperament, the side door was opened, and the palace maid recognized Xu Shu with a cloth belt at a glance, and hurriedly invited her in.

The queen was very happy to get the new incense, and saw Xu Shu say affectionately, "This palace still thinks that you can only enter the palace on the winter solstice, and you have been saving it these days!" ”

Xu Shu replied after seeing the ceremony, "Niangniang just use it boldly, if you don't send a palace maid to inform the courtier, the courtier will send it to you!" If it weren't for the fear of losing the medicinal properties, the courtiers would make ten boxes and eight boxes at a time! ”

"That's not it, this incense is made of high-quality materials, and if it loses its medicinal properties, it will be wasted in vain!" Spoiling things is secondary, and the efficacy is what the queen cares about the most.

The queen beckoned Xu Shu to sit beside her, and pointed to Bang Feng Dao, "You just asked this maid to bring incense to the palace, and the palace thought something was wrong with you, and she didn't say anything when she asked her, but the palace was in a hurry, and now I can be relieved to see you!" ”

"The courtiers met an old acquaintance in the Laiyi Palace, and they couldn't get out, and they were afraid of delaying the queen, so they let Bangfeng run for the courtiers!"

"No delay, no delay!" got the new incense, the queen was very satisfied, and saw that the palace maids who served were far away, so she lowered her voice and said to Xu Shu, "Your incense is really good, every time the emperor comes to the palace before the palace is lit an hour in advance, the emperor came a few times and said that he felt extra relaxed here in the palace, and his whole body was very comfortable!" Now as long as the emperor comes to the harem, most of the time he comes to the Kunning Palace of the main palace! ”

Xu Shu explained, "This incense is mixed with medicinal materials to relieve fatigue, and it does have the effect of dispelling fatigue and exhaustion!" ”

The queen stroked her stomach and was full of anticipation, "This palace knows that this fragrance is wonderful, so I am waiting to see how effective it works one by one!" ”

"Niangniang will definitely be able to get her wish!" Xu Shu probed the pulse of the queen mother, and suddenly frowned slightly.

The queen's heart couldn't help but tremble, "Is there anything wrong?" After asking, he was puzzled, "But the imperial doctor said that there is no problem with the body of this palace!" ”

Xu Shu seemed to feel a little embarrassed, and said, "When the emperor came to Kunning Palace, in addition to lighting the incense made by the courtiers, did Niangniang use some other medicines?" ”

The queen's face turned red, and she retreated, afraid that she would ruin her plan to ask for a son, and she couldn't be ashamed, "The emperor is already in his thirties, where can he compare to the prime of life, he only comes to the harem five or six times a month, and sometimes he just sits and leaves, there are so many concubines in this harem, and it can't be a turn for several months!" As the queen of the middle palace, the emperor must come to Kunning Palace on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, but the emperor comes, but he may not stay overnight, and the palace is also out of helplessness, so he prepared some nourishing wine and food for the emperor......"

The queen also tried her best to conceive the dragon heir, not only put down the figure of the lord of the six palaces to compete for favor with the harem concubines, but also risked angering Long Yan to give the emperor aphrodisiacs.

Xu Shu shook her head, "There is nothing wrong with Niangniang, it's just that the medicine is three points poisonous, this fertility medicine should not be used more, if you add other medicines, it is difficult for the courtiers to guarantee that they will not hurt the dragon body!" What's more, now that Zhou Jin has intervened again, I don't know what the effect of the medicine he gave, so many medicines add up, the emperor's body may not be able to withstand it.

If something happens to the emperor and she is not pregnant with a child, it will be more than worth the loss, and the queen is a little afraid, "Then ...... So what to do? "The emperor came to Kunning Palace, but he didn't share a room with her, and she couldn't conceive a child!

Xu Shu frowned and thought for a moment, but she didn't come up with any ideas, in the end, this kind of thing is not what she is good at.

The two looked at each other for a moment, Xu Shu hesitated, "Niangniang and the emperor are young husband and wife, and the friendship is deep beyond other concubines. ”

As far as the ear that eavesdropped on the martial arts arena today, Xu Shu was sure that the resentment in the emperor's heart was not small, but there was no place to confide in, the harem women only regarded him as the emperor, and none of them were devoted to him.

The emperor's resentment comes from many aspects, the unjustifiable succession has always been a piece of the emperor's heart, he is eager to make a political achievement to prove that he has the ability to govern the country and the country, but the empress dowager is strong on top of him, domineering and obstinate, completely ignoring his dignity as an emperor, in the long run, even if it is a mother and son, there will be estrangement, and even rebellion, at this time what he needs most is a person who can let him completely let go of the burden in his heart and be himself completely.

It's not difficult to make the queen deign to invite favor, she has let go and cut off people directly from other concubines, and there is nothing more humiliating than this, but the queen is worried that this method will not work, "This ...... Does it work? ”

"Although this method is slower, it is more reliable than medicine! If the emperor finds out what Niangniang has done, what Niangniang wants will no longer be hopeless! ”

Although the queen took the risk, she has always had this worry, when the east window happened, losing face is secondary, and completely falling out of favor is the most unacceptable to her, now since there is another way, then you might as well give it a try, "So the palace listens to you!" ”

"Wise mother!"

Xu Shu felt slightly guilty in her heart, feeling guilty for using the queen! In fact, the queen can be regarded as a good person, although she has scheming means, but she has never harmed anyone, and she has not been angry with the rest of the harem because of the emperor's indifference to her, she still takes care of the harem in an orderly manner, and also takes the initiative to choose a concubine for the emperor.

And in order to avenge the humiliation of the eldest prince, he took advantage of the queen's thirst for a child, at first the two were equal and reciprocal, but now for the sake of the Song family, he made a deal with Zhou Jin, but he wanted to use the queen again, after all, he was sorry for the queen, so try his best to solve the things that make her embarrassed for the queen as a remedy! I only hope that the queen can really get her wish as soon as possible.

"Here, you have these!" The queen suddenly stuffed a stack of things into Xu Shu's hand.

Xu Shu touched it and turned out to be a stack of silver tickets, and said in surprise, "Niangniang, this is?" ”

The queen said, "I know that the materials you use to make incense are all good, and this box of incense will cost a lot of silver, you are a girl who has not been out of the pavilion, even if you have the rewards of these years, the silver money may not be together, you can take these, and when the palace is pregnant, there will be another reward!" ”

Xu Shu was stunned, only to feel that the silver ticket in his hand was extremely hot.
