Chapter 220: Something on the Dragon Case
Shu Xinlan was cold from head to toe, she was only more than a month pregnant at most, and Jin Lifu was not in the palace at all for more than a month!
Jin Lifu will kill her!
The imperial doctor waiting outside heard that Shu Xinlan was happy, and he didn't care about the rules, so he stepped into the hall. Seeing Shu Xinlan sitting on the ground, with a small amount of blood under her body, she trembled with fright.
Before she could think about why Shu Xinlan fell to the ground, how her little Gong'e sat stupidly and stupidly, and didn't have time to think carefully about the meaningful smile of the princess, the imperial doctor knelt down in front of Shu Xinlan, and knew that he had to say a word before diagnosing the pulse: "Niangniang is offended." ”
As soon as the imperial doctor's hand touched Shu Xinlan's wrist, her whole person suddenly jumped up and pushed the imperial doctor away. This imperial doctor is a man of forty or fifty years old, not too old, but he can't stand being pushed so violently, when he falls, he subconsciously wants to use his two hands to support the ground, but he didn't expect his elbow to hit the ground first, and it happened to be dislocated.
The imperial doctor has been in the palace for so many years, and he is a person who has seen two generations of monarchs, and he has seen a lot of difficulties for the ladies in the palace, and it is rare that he has not hummed a word when he dislocated his elbow at his age.
Tong Yuqing's face sank, and she pointed at the little eunuch and said, "What does Concubine Lan mean?" This princess kindly invited the imperial doctor to come over for you, and if you don't appreciate it, forget it, and hurt others, you have a feeling of wanting to cover up. ”
Shu Xinlan's face immediately changed, and she rushed towards Tong Yuqing screaming. "Slut! You're still trying to hurt me! ”
This time, Tong Yuqing was on guard, and she had already arrived at the side in a flash. Shu Xinlan pounced, and the whole person fell directly on the chair that Tong Yuqing got up on, and then fell heavily to the ground with the chair, and passed out on the spot.
The stunned little Gong'e caught a glimpse of the new blood added to Shu Xinlan's skirt, and screamed in fright. Tong Yuqing personally helped the imperial doctor up, and asked the little eunuch to send him back to the imperial hospital first, and let other imperial doctors help to take a look first.
The little eunuch stupidly came down, and walked out with the imperial doctor in his arms, while looking back at it again with anxiety. I don't know what the imperial doctor said to the little eunuch, but the little eunuch relented, didn't dare to look back, and even sped up his pace a lot.
A cold light flashed in Tong Yuqing's eyes, and she stood in place for a moment before coming back, calling two palace people to help Xiao Gong'e send Shu Xinlan back first.
When the imperial doctor left the Frost Xuan Palace, he went directly to Concubine Liang to ask to see Jin Lifu. The imperial doctor told Shu Xinlan about being pregnant, this is a good thing, and he is indeed here to invite him, but Jin Lifu suddenly turned black when he heard the number of months, and lifted the table full of delicacies at Concubine Liang, and walked away directly. Concubine Liang went to ask the reason, and then she knew that Shu Xinlan had something to do with the princess, and then asked someone to inquire, but there was news that Shu Xinlan had been executed.
Half an hour later, Concubine Liang sent a big gift to her personal palace maid. 10,000 taels of silver tickets, high-grade jade Ruyi, a gold-inlaid incense burner, and a Ganoderma lucidum tree carved from coral, said to Xie Tong Yuqing for her in addition to Shu Xinlan.
Tong Yuqing was a little surprised, didn't she say that the treasury of Li Guo was empty, how could Concubine Liang still come up with such good things. In a blink of an eye, I looked at these things in my room, and thought about Jin Lifu's appreciation of them. Anyway, it is also the position of the lord of the country, and Jin Lifu, who is a hooligan bandit, must have another way out, and these good things that are willing to reward women must have come from this way.
She held the bracelet on her wrist, and her heart suddenly became a little anxious. Shu Xinlan only mentioned Qing'an in her words, so what about Yu Chong? Yu Chong protects Qing'an so much, he will definitely be by Qing'an's side. But after saying that it was three days, he would not come to pick her up until the day after tomorrow, and tomorrow would be the Lantern Festival in the country of Li......
Tong Yuqing regretted a little, if she had known that she could find out the identity of the traitor so quickly, she would not be in a hurry to ask Yu Chong to leave. How good it would be if Shu Xinlan was asked to send her out of the palace just now, but even if she could get out of the palace, where should she go to find Yu Chong?
She was a little restless, and could only comfort herself in her heart for Yu Chong's intelligence and wisdom. He still has Zihua and Tang Qi by his side, so he will definitely be fine......
Looking out of the hall, she suddenly became a little uneasy. Jin Lifu should have come over a long time ago, but these things happened in the middle, and I am afraid that something will happen. Tong Yuqing pondered for a moment, found the palace maid's clothes that Yu Chong had placed here to change into, and took advantage of Concubine Lan's liveliness to sneak out of the Frost Xuan Palace.
Tong Yuqing is not familiar with the Li Palace, and he can't move around like a headless fly, so he can only pick up a place with few people and stick to the foot of the palace wall. When she walked to a place, she suddenly heard someone talking in front of her, and after listening to two more sentences, she had a plan in her heart.
"Tomorrow is the Lantern Festival, when the emperor will leave the palace for three full days, the palace will definitely get this opportunity to follow the emperor to sacrifice together. Now that Concubine Lan is dead, what is her good concubine? The dominant one in this harem must be my Concubine Mei! You remember, you must send this bowl of soup to the emperor, if something goes wrong in the middle, the palace will kill you! ”
"Mother." Xiao Gong'e cried with a sad face, "Chengning Hall has a strict back, and the slaves and maids can't enter at all." ”
"Can't get in, you don't know what to think?"
"I did this last time, and the emperor was furious and killed the palace maid directly. Slave maid, slave maid is afraid in her heart......"
"Bastard thing! What's the use of keeping you in this palace! Concubine Mei slapped her, and Xiao Gong'e tilted her head in fear, and this slap hit Xiao Gong'e directly on the shoulder.
Tong Yuqing could hear the sound of the slap from such a distance, which showed how strong Concubine Mei's hand was and how much pain this little Gong'e had to have. She listened to it a few more times, and then ran back to the intersection when she felt that it had dispersed, and stood there looking around in a state of confusion.
Xiao Gong'e was carrying a food box in her hand, and she came over with her head down. After a while, Concubine Mei walked out again, pretending not to see this little Gong'e, and twisted her body to the other side.
Tong Yuqing pursed the corners of her lips and reached out to stop Xiao Gong'e as she walked past her.
"Sister, I am the new palace maid in front of the Chengning Palace, I am not on duty today, but a sister is unwell and changed with me. I've just come back from running some errands, and I don't know where I'm going. Sister, do you know the road? Can you take me there? ”
This little Gong'e raised her head and looked at her with a pair of red eyes, "Are you new to Chengning Palace?" ”
Tong Yuqing nodded, "It's new." ”
Xiao Gong'e immediately laughed, "It's such a coincidence, I also want to go to Chengning Palace, then you follow me, and my sister will take you over." ”
Tong Yuqing responded obediently, and went to get the food box in Xiao Gong'e's hand. "Sister give it to me, I'll carry it for you."
Xiao Gong'e rolled her eyes, gave her the food box, and generously took her away.
In the past two days, he has said so many things with those palace concubines, and Tong Yuqing has generally inquired about some things. What is the name of the place where Jin Lifu discusses politics, how many concubines are there in the harem, and which palace was stuffed with newcomers some time ago......
Justly, it comes in handy right now.
Xiao Gong'e took her not far from the Chengning Palace, pointed to the front and said, "Oh, that's it." I have to go back to serve Concubine Mei, you can send this soup in for my mother. Remember, you must send it to the lord of the country in person, if something goes wrong, Concubine Mei will be severely punished. ”
Tong Yuqing said yes again and again, said goodbye to Xiao Gong'e and went in with the food box.
When she arrived at Chengning Palace, she was unexpectedly stopped by the guards, Tong Yuqing only said that she was the little palace maid in front of Concubine Mei, and came to send some supplements. The guards didn't make much trouble, and after asking a few more questions, they let them go directly.
Tong Yuqing muttered in her heart, just now that Xiao Gong'e said that the back of her hand here is tight, and it is difficult to get close, why did she come in so easily? She cautiously approached the door of the hall, suddenly remembered something, and pretended to check the soup in the food box, but in fact, she had already mixed the medicinal powder given by Yu Chong into it. After making all this without a trace, she wiped it on her lips again, and then carefully slipped into the temple, but as soon as she entered the temple, someone grabbed her throat.
Jin Lifu's face was gloomy, and his voice was even colder. "When did Princess Ling become Concubine Mei's palace maid?"
Tong Yuqing's heart instantly rose, but the complexion on her face did not change. She raised the canteen in her hand, "This is indeed sent by Concubine Mei." ”
Jin Lifu's eyes shrank, and it made people feel dangerous when he looked at it. He suddenly wiped the corners of her lips with his fingers, brushing the whitewashed powder on her head, "What is this?" ”
Tong Yuqing chuckled in her heart, but she directly opened the food box in her hand and took out a small plate of pastries sprinkled with frosting next to the soup. "I stole a piece and it tasted good."
Jin Lifu didn't seem to believe it, and directly took a piece and sent it to Tong Yuqing.
"Eat."
Tong Yuqing smiled, took the pastry and fed it to her mouth, and after swallowing it, she licked the corners of her lips unsatisfactorily. "You think I've poisoned this? Even if it's really poisonous, it doesn't necessarily mean that I ordered it. ”
Jin Lifu was hooked by the appearance of her licking the corners of his lips, and then remembered the blood rose he saw in the Linyuan Pool, and suddenly felt a little uneasy. He licked the powder off his fingers, perhaps too little to taste. Or maybe the woman in front of her is too seductive, and other things don't taste at all.
Tong Yuqing pursed her lips and smiled, and then raised the food box in her hand. "Concubine Mei also made soup, do you want to try it?"
Jin Lifu took the food box in her hand, but threw it directly to the ground. Tong Yuqing's eyebrows jumped, and just as he was about to speak, Jin Lifu suddenly became ruthless, pinched her neck and dragged her to the dragon case that was piled up with folds, and then picked up the bowl of tea that was still warm in his hand, and poured it directly on her face, and then wiped her face vigorously with his sleeve, as if he wanted to take off the camouflage on her face.
"Tell me, who are you!"
Tong Yuqing's struggle annoyed Jin Lifu even more, he pressed her head, and even increased the strength in his hand, until her face was rubbed red. She tilted her head and couldn't move, but she happened to see a seal that had flipped over the table and was facing her eyes. The font on it and its familiar appearance turned out to be the one she had seen in Cheng Zirui's study that day, Li Guoyuxi!
