Chapter 174: Concubine Chen's Death (1)
"It is said that the overseer is ruthless, but I didn't expect that he has not completely lost his conscience, and it is not in vain that Concubine Chen has raised the overseer."
"It is better to say less ridicule of Bento."
An Wanqing lowered her head.
"How do you know that these seven-colored begonias can't encounter black pearl powder?" Yan Qingyu said strangely.
"When Biyu was learning martial arts, I happened to hear the master mention it." An Wanqing replied simply.
Yan Qingyu glanced at her and flashed out.
The next day, Yan Qingyu waited for Emperor Jing'an to finish the morning court, and then went directly to the Dragon Dormitory to wait.
"Qingyu, come and sit down." Emperor Jing'an waved his hand at Yan Qingyu, who was standing in the hall, "It's rare for you to come over and talk to me." ”
Yan Qingyu raised his eyes and glanced at Emperor Jing'an, bowed his head and said, "The minister has something to say to Your Majesty." ”
Emperor Jing'an's face changed slightly, and some disappointment flashed in his eyes, "I know that if you have nothing to do, you will never come over, just say it." ”
Yan Qingyu pulled the little eunuch standing aside in front of him, only to see the little eunuch holding the tray in both hands, and the tray was covered with a black cloth.
Emperor Jing'an was a little strange, and he didn't know what was placed under the black cloth, "This is?" ”
Yan Qingyu lifted the black cloth, and a pot of seven-colored begonias and a box of black pearl powder stood on the tray.
"Seven-colored begonias?" Emperor Jing'an was stunned for a moment, glanced at the seven-colored begonia, and then pointed to the rouge box and asked, "What is this?" ”
Yan Qingyu knelt down on one knee, "Back to Your Majesty, the rouge box contains the black pearl powder that the Pan Shu Kingdom paid tribute to our dynasty. ”
"Qingyu, what do you mean by that?" Emperor Jing'an was a little strange.
"Back to Your Majesty, these seven-colored begonias and black pearl powder are both non-toxic, and neither of them is toxic in itself, but if the two come into contact for a long time, it will cause people to be chronically poisoned." Yan Qingyu bowed her head and said.
"I remember this plate of seven-colored begonias, Concubine Chen's favorite ......" Speaking of this, Emperor Jing'an was stunned, "You came today, is Concubine Chen ......?"
Yan Qingyu nodded, "Back to Your Majesty, this box of black pearl powder was also found by the minister in Concubine Chen's palace, and the reason why Concubine Chen's mother suddenly vomited blood was the chronic poisoning of the seven-colored begonia and black pearl powder." And this box of black pearl powder is a tribute from the Panshu Kingdom, which was personally rewarded by the queen to Concubine Chen. ”
Emperor Jing'an stood up, "You mean the empress?" ”
"That's what the minister does." Yan Qingyu did not shy away from it.
Emperor Jing'an looked at Yan Qingyu meaningfully, "How do you know that the queen was specially given to Concubine Chen?" ”
"Seven-colored begonias and black pearl powder is a chronic poison, a year and a half will not make people have any adverse diseases at all, Concubine Chen has begun to vomit blood, obviously contact the two for a long time, before coming to the Dragon Dormitory, the minister specially checked the tribute files of the Pan Shu Kingdom, the Pan Shu Kingdom began to pay tribute to my court black pearl powder eight years ago, but because of the rarity of black pearls, only one bottle is produced every year, and this only one bottle, the queen has been rewarded to the palace of the Concubine Chen, these eight years, has never been broken, the minister does not believe that this is just an accident."
"How does the queen know the mystery between the two?"
Yan Qingyu was stunned for a moment, tilted her head and smiled lightly: "Why does the queen know, the minister doesn't know." However, if His Majesty takes care of the royal family's face and refuses to deal with the queen, the minister can't do anything. After all, the queen can be sure that she doesn't know about it, and the minister doesn't have a real hammer with ironclad evidence, and some, it's just speculation. ”
Emperor Jing'an looked at Yan Qingyu who was kneeling on the ground with his hands behind his back, his pupils were a little deep, "Although the queen is not my wife, she is also the one who has accompanied me for most of my life......"
"What about Concubine Chen?" Yan Qingyu raised her head and looked at Emperor Jing'an with some anger.
"Concubine Chen has always been in this harem without a quarrel with the world, she was born in a literary family, she was a well-known talented woman back then, her temperament was high and cold, and she was indeed different from other harem concubines. That's why I will hand over Qi'er with you to Concubine Chen to raise. ”
"As Your Majesty said, Concubine Chen has raised ministers, and the ministers should also ask for an excuse for Concubine Chen."
Emperor Jing'an looked at Yan Qingyu's big blazing eyes, was silent for a moment, and nodded slightly, "You are never close to people, but it is rare." After all, the queen is the biological mother of the crown prince, and she is also the queen of a country, so I will ask the queen in private. ”
"Concubine Chen, thank Your Majesty." Yan Qingyu bowed her head and said.
"Get up." Emperor Jing'an spoke.
Yan Qingyu was just about to stand up, but saw Wang Zhan hurriedly running into the dragon dormitory, "Your Majesty, it's not good, Concubine Xiao Chen vomited blood again, the hospital is coming, Niang Niang is afraid that it will be ......."
"I'm going to take a look at Concubine Chen." Emperor Jing'an's brows furrowed a little tightly, and he went to Concubine Chen's Palace.
Yan Qingyu hurriedly got up and followed.
When he came to Concubine Chen's dormitory, Nangong Hui stayed in front of the bed, the whole person lost a lot of weight, and when he saw Emperor Jing'an walking in, he hurriedly saluted, "Erchen has seen his father." ”
"Qingyu, accompany your fourth brother out to wait, and I will have a few words with Concubine Chen." Emperor Jing'an ordered Yan Qingyu behind him.
"Fourth Highness, please go outside." Yan Qingyu frowned and looked at Nangong Hui and took a deep breath.
Nangong Hui nodded tearfully and walked out with Yan Qingyu.
"Your Majesty?" Concubine Xiao Chen was lying on the bed, her face was pale and bloodless, and her whole person looked lifeless.
Emperor Jing An walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, "Why did Concubine Chen suddenly vomit blood?" ”
"The concubine doesn't know." Concubine Xiao Chen smiled reluctantly.
"How can you not know your physical condition? Good end of the sudden vomiting of blood, don't you doubt it? Now that you're terminally ill, you're still so cold. Emperor Jing'an sighed.
"Since the concubine married into the harem, she has kept to herself, even if the concubine knows that the harem is a rouge battlefield, the concubine still has no quarrel with the world, the concubine has never offended anyone, and the concubine doesn't know why?" Concubine Xiao Chen smiled sadly.
"You're recuperating, the hospital will think about it." Emperor Jing'an said with relief.
Concubine Xiao Chen grabbed Emperor Jing'an's dragon robe and looked at him with tears, "Can the concubines ask, back then, why did Your Majesty hand over the Seventh Highness and the Little Overseer to the concubines to raise, and the concubines already have four highnesses under their knees, can Your Majesty rest assured?" ”
"I believe in you and will do them well." Emperor Jing'an said seriously.
"Your Majesty's trust in your concubines, where did you come from?" Concubine Xiao Chen asked.
"Hui'er is the only prince among all the princes who only follows literature and does not follow martial arts, and I know that you never thought of letting Hui'er fight for the throne."
Concubine Xiao Chen nodded slightly, "Your Majesty likes the prince of Wenwu Shuang. But the concubine only hoped that Hui'er would have a safe life, and she had nothing else to ask for. ”
"If you only ask for peace, how can you not tolerate other children? I know that you have a good heart, and I believe that you will treat everyone equally. Emperor Jing'an said seriously.
"The concubine can win His Majesty's trust, and she is satisfied." Concubine Xiao Chen looked at Emperor Jing'an with tears in her eyes.
"Over the years, I have failed you after all."
"The concubine knows that there is only one person that Your Majesty loves in his life, and the concubine is not blessed." Concubine Xiao Chen shook her head lightly and smiled with tears: "Although the concubine has never seen her, sometimes, I envy her, even if His Majesty's harem is three thousand, even if His Majesty can't give her a name, but at least His Majesty's heart has always been with her." ”
