Chapter 108: Allies

Concubine Ying opened the oiled paper bag and handed it to Calm.

Calmly take it apart and see, it's just a few prescriptions.

The words on it are a little familiar, and I can't help but look a little stunned.

"You see that? Yes, Jiang Ming's words must have come out by his father's own hands, so it is not surprising that they look familiar. Concubine Ying said in a low voice.

calmly flipped through the prescriptions in his hand and shook his head: "Niangniang, it's just some life-preserving pills, life-sustaining pills and other peace medicines, what evidence is there?" ”

Concubine Ying raised her eyebrows, and there was some contempt between her eyebrows.

Calmly looked at these prescriptions again, smoothed them out, put them in his hand, couldn't help but widen his eyes, and sighed: "It's strange that it's here." ”

"Sure enough, it's a smart person, it took me a day to figure out the mystery, but I didn't expect you to see it in just a moment." Concubine Ying had a somewhat stunned tone.

"I was just lucky enough to get the position right." Calmly put the prescription on the bed, and read the first two words of each prescription together: See each other outside the pavilion on the third day.

"Ever since you told me this secret, I've been wondering what they rely on to deliver the news, the man lives outside the palace, and the people in the Queen Mother's palace don't often go out of the palace, it's not easy to deliver the news.

Thinking that he was an imperial doctor, I asked for some of the prescriptions he prescribed from the imperial hospital, but I didn't expect that I really wanted this palace, and I really played tricks on it. Concubine Ying sneered.

"What if you get it? What do you want? Calmly asked.

Concubine Ying smiled coldly: "I didn't think about it originally, but it was just out of curiosity, but now it's different, since she can't tolerate me and wants me to die, how can I be willing to die like this?" It's a big deal, the fish is dead, everyone is done together! ”

"Niangniang, I just told you, you don't die in a big disaster, and you keep your life for happiness, wouldn't it be a pity to play with people like this?" Said calmly and lightly.

Concubine Ying raised her eyes and stared at her: "Do you have a way?" ”

"Maybe you can try." Calm down.

Concubine Ying smiled bitterly and shook her head: "You also taught me this method of inviting pets, but I almost died, did I become your experiment, if there is a novel recipe, just greet me." ”

"Niangniang, I opened the recipe, you don't need it yourself, our purpose is the same, but we just want to live in peace and stability." Said calmly and solemnly.

Concubine Ying sighed: "You say, in fact, since I woke up yesterday, I have been thinking about this matter, and I still have no clue, I want to find someone to catch the adulterer, but she is the emperor's mother after all, who dares to catch such an adultery?" Even if he is caught, who will dare to reveal it to the world? Isn't it a death in the end? ”

"We can make another bet on whether the Queen Mother likes that man very much." Calm down.

"What do you want?" Concubine Ying's eyes flashed and asked, "Want to start with that man?" ”

"A slave like me is not qualified to ask Imperial Doctor Jiang to visit the doctor, you are different, although Imperial Doctor Jiang has only served the emperor and important ministers of the former dynasty over the years, but if you are coquettish in front of the emperor, maybe he will agree to let Jiang Lao treat you once." Calm down.

Concubine Ying bit her fingernails and remained silent.

"Niangniang, this move is risky, and there are also worries about life, in case Imperial Doctor Jiang is not as bodhisattva-hearted as the legend, we will lose everything." Said calmly.

"This palace has heard from those old concubines of the previous dynasty about this Jiang Imperial Doctor, and they all said that he is a bodhisattva and a good person." Concubine Ying said hesitantly.

"The Queen Mother won't listen to our words, maybe the Queen Mother will listen to Imperial Doctor Jiang's words." Said calmly and slowly.

Concubine Ying snorted: "But how could Imperial Doctor Jiang listen to us?" ”

Calm was about to speak, only to hear a noise outside, several menacing guards broke into the door, Xiaoyue followed behind them and shouted: "You are so bold, you dare to trespass into the Niangniang's dormitory." ”

The guards didn't pay attention to Xiaoyue at all, walked to the inner room, saw that she was calm, didn't speak, stepped forward to grab her, and walked out.

"Wait!" The Ying Concubine on the bed roared angrily.

A guard walking behind looked back, raised the royal card in his hand, and said in a majestic voice: "Niangniang, I'm disturbed, the emperor personally gave the royal card, arrest and calmly return to the case, if there is any obstruction, don't worry about killing." ”

"Bengong just wants to ask, what crime she committed, you also know, Bengong has been sick and crooked in the past two days, and she doesn't know what happened outside, she came by herself, and Bengong chatted with her a few words."

"This case has nothing to do with the mother, so I will leave below." The guards arched their hands, shouted, and walked away calmly.

"Xiaoyue, let's go and see what's going on." Concubine Ying said.

Xiaoyue responded and went out.

Let's say that Calm was twisted to the Pingzhang Hall by a group of guards, the canonization ceremony has ended, there are only a few concubines left in the hall, Empress Dowager Liu is sitting on the main seat, Pei Shaofen is kneeling in the center of the ground, crying,

And the golden crown of the queen, which shone with golden light, just fell to the ground, fell out of shape, and a few gems inlaid on the crown fell off and scattered everywhere.

There was also a broken brocade box under the upper steps.

Seeing this calmly, he sighed secretly, Pei Shaofen said that he would not let her go, and sure enough, he would not let her go, and he didn't know what kind of accident happened to accuse her.

"Bold slave, even if you have a grudge against the queen, you shouldn't play with the dignity of the royal family!" Empress Dowager Liu pointed to the calm who had just entered the hall and scolded loudly.

The guards shrugged down calmly to the ground and knelt down, and Emperor Xiao, who was sitting next to the Queen Mother, touched his nose, his eyes flickered, and he sighed.

"Leng Si She, this palace said something too much, and hit your Si Shi Mai Shi a few times, it's the fault of this palace, if you are resentful in your heart, just look for me, why bother to do something in such an important matter and damage the dignity of the royal family." Pei Shaofen cried and asked calmly.

Calmly glanced at the crowns scattered on the ground again, and roughly understood what was going on, the crown was broken, not because the crown made by Si Zhenji was not strong enough, but because the brocade box containing the crown fell to the bottom, which caused the crown to fall to the ground.

"Calm down, I've just seen that the box containing the crown is actually made of shredded paper and cloth, isn't it a joke? Is it not possible for the people of the Treasurer to withhold the timber of your division? Why not make a box out of wood? ”

Emperor Xiao asked.

calmly sucked his nose and glanced at Pei Shaofen.

The box containing the crown was indeed made of fine wood, and it was sent to Si Zhen Si by Calm and personally to be handed over to Wei Sizhen. This pulp cloth is just a sample box, which was originally presented to Guanglu Temple to select the style.

"Calm down, you don't want to be indifferent, do you know that you have fallen into a catastrophe? Before the ceremony was completed, the master of ceremonies took out the golden crown, and before he walked to the queen, the golden crown fell to the ground, which was really a big joke and made the royal family lose face. Emperor Xiao said in a complaining voice.

"Your Majesty, I don't complain about this matter, and I blame the concubines for neglecting to investigate, but I didn't find that this box turned out to be a cardboard box, and it was vulnerable." Pei Shaofen cried.

"What's wrong with you, Jin Guan has always been in charge of the Shang Palace Bureau, if something happens, it is naturally their negligence, you get up quickly, don't hurt the fetus." Empress Dowager Liu said, and ordered the palace maid to help Pei Shaofen up and send her to a chair to sit down.

"Queen Mother, it's just a little thing, and today is the joy of the queen's canonization, big things are small, and small things are nothing, so call Leng Si to reprimand, it's okay. Do you think so? Emperor Xiao asked Empress Dowager Liu in a low voice.

Empress Dowager Liu snorted coldly, and her face turned dark: "Your Majesty, this kind of thing is naturally at your disposal, but you have to remember that you are the king of a country, whether it is a state or family matter, you must deal with it fairly and justly in order to convince people." ”

"Then according to the mother's will, how to deal with it?" Emperor Xiao asked cautiously.

Empress Dowager Liu didn't answer, stood up, and walked away.

Emperor Xiao sighed, shook his head, and waved his hand: "Come on, put calm in prison and listen to the Hou's disposal." ”

"Your Majesty, Leng Si is just a momentary negligence, please ask the emperor for mercy." Pei Shaofen hurriedly sat down and knelt down to plead.

Emperor Xiao took a breath of relief and nodded: "The queen has a lot, don't care about her in general, this sisterhood is really rare, so I will spare her first, let her continue to go back to the department to serve, and make meritorious contributions." ”

Pei Shaofen's originally ruddy face suddenly turned a little pale, and Ai Ai kowtowed upwards and thanked him in a low voice.

"The queen is in a heavy position, and she still does not forget her roots, which really makes me admire, I will give this jade pendant that I have been wearing on my body to the queen, and I hope that the queen will continue to convince people with virtue in the future, and the mother will honor the world." Emperor Xiao smiled.

Pei Shaofen smiled a little, took the jade pendant from Emperor Xiao, thanked him, got up and sat back in his seat.

"Calm down, you go down." Emperor Xiao said calmly to the one who had not made a sound.

Calm was squinting at the box under the steps, and when he heard Emperor Xiao say this, he raised his head as if he had just woken up from a dream.

"Let's go." Emperor Xiao waved at her.

"Your Majesty, can the slave take another look at the box that has fallen off?" Calm down and don't leave, and beg the emperor loudly.

Emperor Xiao nodded his head.

Calmly stepped forward and picked up the box, held it up in front of his eyes, carefully measured it for a while, and showed a self-deprecating smile: "Your Majesty, this box was artificially destroyed, not that the slave maid made it unstrong." ”

"Oh? Man-made sabotage? No way, it's a big thing to lose your head, and the master of ceremonies won't do it. Emperor Xiao shook his head.

"Calm down, if you do something wrong, you have to admit it, not to mention that the emperor no longer blames you and makes you guilty and meritorious service, do you still have to rely on your three-inch incorruptible tongue and quibble?"

Pei Shaofen shouted angrily.

"Queen Mother, do things calmly, you have always been clear about right and wrong, I admit it is my fault, not my fault, naturally I will not admit it. The slave and maid have grievances, of course they have to shout. ”

Emperor Xiao glanced at Pei Shaofen, asked her to stop, stretched out her finger and pointed calmly: "You say, how can you determine that this box is man-made?" ”

Calmly unfolded all the boxes without bottoms, spread them on the ground, and said to Emperor Xiao: "Your Majesty, you look at the structure of this box, the bottom and the side are a complete cloth, if you want to scatter, naturally the bottom and the side will be scattered together, and it will not only make the bottom edge fall down."

The bottom edge fell neatly, and it was clearly cut by a sharp weapon. ”

Emperor Xiao walked down the steps, squatted down to take a closer look at the box, and nodded: "That's right, although the bottom has fallen, I can still see that the bottom and the side should be one, and it stands to reason that it will not only fall to the bottom." ”

"Because the folding method of this box is a bit exquisite, so the bottom looks like a single side, in fact, if you look closely, you will see that it is actually connected to the two sides.

But because the person who destroyed the box was in a hurry, he didn't understand it, and only cut off the bottom, and used it to slander that there was something wrong with the box I made, isn't it ridiculous? He looked at Pei Shaofen calmly and said in a cold voice.
