229 Preemptive strike

The old lady walked in with a smile on her face, holding a delicate food box in her hand, "The concubine Niangniang personally cooked in the afternoon and made some pastries, so that the old slave could send some to His Highness to taste." yilego.%d7%cf%d3%c4%b8%f3”

The people from the palace stepped forward to take the food box, and Chu Qianlan only glanced at it lightly. Then he withdrew his gaze, "Well, there is her." ”

"Why does Your Highness need to be polite to your mother?" The old lady replied with a smile, seeing that Chu Qianlan didn't mean to taste it, she paused, and still reminded: "Niangniang originally wanted to send it to you personally, but I didn't want to make another foot injury a few days ago, so I let the old slave go this way." Your Royal Highness, Niangniang has not cooked for a long time, and she is also very worried, I don't know if what she makes is to your taste, do you like to eat? ”

Chu Qianlan had already picked up the paperwork again, and said casually: "Let it go." When I'm hungry, I'll eat naturally. ”

The old lady didn't want to say more, and after a few more instructions to pay attention to her body and so on, she retired.

As soon as she left, Chu Qianlan instructed Zhu Nineteen: "Take it and throw it away." ”

Zhu Nineteen opened it and took a look, and muttered, "It's really fragrant, is it really going to be lost?" Although the slave has not been in the palace for a long time, he has also heard that this lady is a very good cook. Except for Your Majesty, you are the only one who has this blessing......"

Chu Qianlan raised her eyes unhappily and swept over, "Now you also have this blessing, this king has rewarded you, you can eat it." ”

I wish nineteen and one suffocation. "How dare this minion? Joke and laugh. Your Highness, don't take it to heart, the slave will take it and throw it away......"

Before he could finish speaking, he heard a commotion outside.

Seeing Chu Qianlan frowning, Zhu Nineteen hurriedly resigned himself to running out, and after a while, he lifted the curtain and came in, no longer the appearance of a hippie smile, his expression was very solemn, "Your Highness, it's the palace grandmother next to the queen." Something happened to the queen. ”

Chu Qianlan Huo stood up and strode out, "What's wrong?" ”

"The minion only listened to two sentences and hurried to tell you...... It seems that the queen mother has been poisoned, and it is not a matter of one or two days. ”

As soon as Chu Qianlan walked out, Mama Gong pounced and knelt at his feet, she was embarrassed, as if she had rolled on the mud floor, there were not only mud trees on her head and face, but also a lot of abrasions, I don't know if it was too late for her to see the road under her feet before she fell, or for some other reason.

Without waiting for Chu Qianlan to ask, Mama Gong hugged his legs and cried, shouting in a dumb voice: "Your Highness, help!" Your Highness, help! ”

……

Concubine Shu was half-lying on the white jade mat, looking at her newly dyed nails on the palace lamp, the light reflected her snow-white fingers, the more she looked moist, the pink eyes on the nails were particularly pink and attractive.

She smiled with satisfaction and said lazily: "I like this palace very much, reward!" ”

The palace maid who knelt on the ground kowtowed happily and thanked her, "It is an honor to be able to serve Niangniang, thank you Niangniang for the reward." ”

As she was talking, the old lady walked in quickly.

"How? Does the emperor like to eat? Concubine Shu saw her and asked with a smile.

The old lady was sure of her thoughts, and then said: "The pastries made by the mother herself cooked, His Royal Highness naturally likes to eat them---- but Niangniang, just now Zhengyang Palace talked back and forth, just called the slave maid to listen to the ear, the queen somehow let the palace grandmother run out, the palace grandmother avoided everyone's sight, ran to His Royal Highness's side to ask for help!" ”

"What?" Concubine Shu frowned slightly, "Where is Your Highness right now?" ”

"His Royal Highness asked people to go back to His Majesty, and asked people to go to the Tai Hospital, and they have already gone to Zhengyang Palace at this time!"

Concubine Shu thought for a while, "Your Royal Highness has passed, if I, the noble concubine who is in charge of the affairs of the Six Palaces, does not show up, I am afraid that I will not be able to say it." ”

She handed her hand to the old lady and slowly got up, "Let's change the clothes of this palace." ”

Seeing that Concubine Shu's expression did not change at all, the old grandmother couldn't help but settle down, and while serving Concubine Shu to change her clothes, she said worriedly: "Your Highness has passed, and I am afraid that the queen's poisoning will not be hidden." ”

"Why can't he hide it in the past? Which imperial doctor would dare to talk nonsense in front of this palace? Concubine Shu coldly hooked the corners of her lips, "Even if he knows that the queen has been poisoned, so what?" Could it be that he could still suspect that the palace was going to poison the queen? ”

"Your Highness and you are of the same mind." The old lady hurriedly said, "The old slave is just worried that His Highness is too good-hearted, but he will be used by others on this matter." ”

Concubine Shugui, who was opening her arms and letting the old lady wear clothes, squinted her eyes suddenly, and even her body seemed to be slightly shocked, and the color on her face changed several times, and it took a long time before she spoke: "Old mother, you said that the Dragon Boat Banquet was the time when the queen deliberately wanted to go against the palace and not let the palace recognize the emperor, or ......?"

"Or what?" The old lady was stunned for a moment, and when she saw that her expression was not good, she couldn't help but tremble a little.

"Is it possible that he didn't want to recognize the palace at all, so he turned his elbow out, and simply colluded with the queen to direct the scene of the Dragon Boat Banquet!" Concubine Shugui's gaze became cold and sharp, "Otherwise, why did the queen have an accident, and Mama Gong didn't look for anyone, but she found him!" ”

The old lady felt a little unbelievable, "No, no, no, Your Highness, he is your flesh and blood, how can he collude with the queen?" Besides, His Highness also knows that the Gu poison on Miss Shen's body has to rely on you to solve it, so how can he deliberately anger you......"

"Yes or no, go and see!" Concubine Shu smiled coldly, "If he dares to calculate with this palace like this, this palace will have to make him suffer some hardships!" ”

Let him have a longer memory, remember who his mother is, and remember not to calculate her with others!

When Concubine Shu and her entourage hurried to Zhengyang Palace, Chu Qianlan had already arrived at Zhengyang Palace.

The queen in front of her looked disgraced and died, but in just a few days, the slightly reduced but radiant queen at the Dragon Boat Banquet seemed to have been sucked dry of blood by something, not to mention her thin skin and bones, and what was even more terrifying was that her white translucent complexion was as bloodless as a piece of paper.

There were still blood stains on the corners of her mouth, and she was lying alone on the bed, although there were palace people in the room, there was no one who stepped forward to serve. It was like a wooden pillar one by one, even Chu Qianlan strode in, and no one looked up.

Mama Gong stumbled in behind Chu Qianlan, "Niangniang? Mother, wake up----"

Yet no matter how much she called, the queen did not open her eyes.

"What the hell is going on? What poison did the queen mother get? Chu Qianlan frowned and asked.

Mama Gong wiped her tears and cried: "Two days after the Dragon Boat Banquet, the queen felt a little uncomfortable, and red blister-like things first grew on the palms of her hands and feet. Who would have thought, the next day Niangniang began to vomit blood, and then called the imperial doctor to see, it was still the same rhetoric. After waiting for another two days, the slave maid saw that the mother's condition was really not good, and wanted to go to the hospital again to ask the doctor to come and have a look, but she couldn't get out. Your Royal Highness, in addition to the slaves and maids, after the Dragon Boat Banquet, Concubine Shu changed all the servants in Zhengyang Palace, and all of them were deaf and dumb, unable to speak and illiterate...... Concubine Shu wants to trap the queen to death! Your Majesty, please save your mother! ”

"This incident is because of me, and I will not sit idly by." Chu Qianlan said in a deep voice: "Mama, get up, you are the only one left who can be used by the queen's mother." ”

Mama Gong heard that Chu Qianlan would not sit idly by, so she relaxed a little. Hurriedly got up and wiped the corners of the face and mouth of the unconscious queen with his hands and feet, but he was still relieved in his heart: "Your Highness, the queen has been living in forbearance all these years, and Concubine Shu can tolerate her, and now she ...... I'm afraid that the concubine Niangniang has already had murderous intentions, and I beg His Royal Highness to think of a foolproof plan to save the life of the queen Niangniang. ”

"The Imperial Doctor in this Palace......"

"I'm afraid that no one can be trusted." Mama Gong smiled bitterly, "The concubine has been in control of the harem for a long time, and whether the queen will be okay depends on the concubine and not the imperial doctor in the palace." ”

Chu Qianlan nodded, turned her head and went out, and called Zhu Nineteen to come over and give two orders.

Sure enough, Concubine Shu came faster than the imperial doctor, while Bai Lihuang didn't even see a shadow at all.

"The concubine came just in time." Chu Qianlan looked at Concubine Shu approaching with a calm expression, stepped forward and saluted, and said lightly: "The queen mother is suddenly not good, the palace grandmother beside her has no way to ask for help, and she actually asks for me, so I have to come over to see what is going on." ”

Concubine Shugui's tense cold face softened a little after hearing this, "I see." What happened to the Queen? ”

"Said it was poisoned." Chu Qianlan was blunt, looking at Concubine Shu with an expressionless face, "It's a little bad after the Dragon Boat Banquet, the mother concubine is in charge of the harem, and she hasn't heard of it?" Or, is it really as those people in the palace said, the poison in the queen's mother was originally done by the concubine? I didn't know, it turned out that the mother had such a heart. ”

Although his face was expressionless, the disappointment in his eyes still shocked Concubine Shugui, although she suspected that Chu Qianlan was secretly in contact with the queen, but first, there was no evidence, and second, if it was not to the point of irreparability, she was actually not willing to completely tear her face with her son and turn against her.

Where did you hear that? What kind of person is the mother, you still don't know? Concubine Shu frowned, "You tell the concubine, who did you listen to these words?" ”

There seems to be something wrong, Concubine Shu thought about it, and then suddenly understood, it was she who originally came with questions, why did she turn around now and become him questioning himself? Asuke Shijun.

"In this way, do you have a clear conscience, concubine?"

"Naturally have a clear conscience!"

"What's the matter with guarding the palace gate and not letting Mama Gong enter and leave Zhengyang Palace at will?"

"This is Your Majesty's intention, the queen will be placed under house arrest in Zhengyang Palace, without Your Majesty's will, Zhengyang Palace is not allowed to enter and leave at will!"

"Then what's going on with these palace people? The dignified queen mother, who served her were all deaf and mute people who couldn't speak or write! How should the concubine explain? Chu Qianlan gritted her teeth and looked at her, and said word by word.

Concubine Shu seemed to chuckle, "The queen is happy to be quiet, no one in the palace knows who doesn't know, it just happens that there is a suitable candidate this time, so all the arrangements are for the queen mother, what's all the fuss?" ”

She paused, squinting at Chu Qianlan's not very good-looking face, "The emperor is so worried about the queen's mother, I don't know, I still think that the queen's mother is your biological mother." The palace is blessed, and I have been looking forward to the emperor's return to the palace for so long, but I didn't expect that the emperor not only does not have the same heart as me, but also listens to the words of others to hurt the heart of the mother, which is really ......"

"What do you mean, the queen's poisoning has nothing to do with you?" Chu Qianlan looked at her suspiciously, but her eyes relaxed a lot.

"You just need to know that all my actions depend on Your Majesty's will." Concubine Shugui simply pushed all the way to Bailihuang, anyway, Bailihuang really hated the queen to death. "Still after these days, the emperor's impression of the palace has not changed at all, and he is determined that the palace is a poisonous woman with a femme fatale?"

"I don't know what kind of person you are, it's hard for me to see." Chu Qianlan turned her head, looking gloomy and dazed, "But all the people in the Great Chu Harem who know you mention you, and they don't say anything good." ”

He glanced at Concubine Shu hurriedly, "No matter what, this matter is not the best thing you have done---- no one likes their mother, she is such a ruthless and out-and-out poisonous woman!" ”

Concubine Shugui's eyebrows jumped, and she looked at Chu Qianlan as if she was hurt, "In the future, you can always see clearly what kind of person I am." It's not early, it's useless for you to stay here, go back, the queen has a mother to guard here, nothing will happen. ”

Chu Qianlan was not verbose, and nodded, "Thinking that there is a concubine here, the useless waste of the Tai Hospital, at least the action can be a little faster." Tomorrow will be early, and the sons will retire first. ”

With that, he turned around and left without any delay.

When Chu Qianlan's figure disappeared outside Zhengyang Palace, the smile on Concubine Shugui's lips completely cooled.

The old lady watched from the side, only feeling terrified, but she had to bite the bullet and say: "Niangniang, according to the slave maid, His Royal Highness and the queen have nothing to do with it, but the palace grandmother happened to ask him, and he had to go this way." You must know that the queen mother is the mother of a country in the end, and if Her Majesty does not abolish her, Her Royal Highness must respect her and respect her, otherwise an unfilial hat will fall down, and His Royal Highness will not be good! ”

"What do you think?" Concubine Shu walked slowly towards the inner hall.

"Could it be that Niangniang still doubts His Highness? If His Royal Highness is really worried about the queen, he will definitely not be at ease at this moment, and you will not let him go, he will turn around and leave. The old lady smiled cautiously.

Concubine Shu shook her head, "This one from this palace, he just can't tear his face with this palace right now." Preemptive? Think this will make Hongu not suspicious of him? He's still a little too tender. ”

"So, in your opinion, what should we do now?" The old lady asked as if embarrassed, "According to the meaning of the slave maid, it is not a pity that the queen is dead, but listen to the meaning of His Royal Highness, if something happens to the queen's mother, His Royal Highness will ...... It's the same for you. This is really rare, and so is His Highness, why doesn't he stand on your side and think about it, how difficult it is for you to come this far after so many years. ”

Concubine Shu sighed, "It is said that children are in debt to children, and this palace really couldn't live with him before, so it is considered that this palace owes him." That's it, since he wants to save the queen's life, forget it this time, this palace can't get into trouble with him because of such an insignificant person as the queen. ”

"Also, it was not easy for His Highness to ease up a little between him and you, at this time, if you follow him, will Your Highness still have a reason to disrespect you in the future?" The old lady hurriedly flattered.

……

"Your Highness, let's leave like this, the queen and the palace will be fine, right?" Zhu Nineteen couldn't help but ask suspiciously.

"It should be okay this time." Chu Qianlan said lightly.

"You just took the lead, and you used it really well, otherwise I'm afraid that Concubine Shu won't trust you easily?" Zhu Nineteen scratched his head, and always felt that it was a bit unbelievable that this thing went well.

Chu Qianlan snorted lightly: "How could she believe it, it's just that she doesn't want to completely tear her face with me yet." In a few days, there will be no need to endure her again! ”

When Ruotang becomes the eldest princess's righteous daughter and lives in the eldest princess's mansion, she will be out of reach at that time, so that he will no longer have to worry about the future! Now, although Ruotang no longer has the worry of Gu poison, and even has become a physique that is invincible to all poisons because of a blessing in disguise, it is not possible to sit back and relax because of this, if Ruotang is outside, even if he is closely guarded, there will always be a time when he is careless. In any case, he was not willing to risk Ruotang's safety at all!

Zhu Nineteen didn't understand, but he was afraid that asking too many questions would annoy the lord, so he hurriedly changed the topic, "Your Highness, will we protect this queen for a while or for her life?" ”

"A moment is a moment." Chu Qianlan's expression was faint, he and the queen were just using each other, he was able to keep her at this time, it was already very good, the queen had been fighting with Concubine Shu for so many years, and she would still suffer at the hands of Concubine Shu, so it can be seen that she is not a smart person.

"In fact, the queen's mother is also very tight against Shu Guifei, and the palace grandmother doesn't know that this time the queen was hit by someone in her sleep and quietly poured poison." Zhu Nineteen said triumphantly, "This is the news that the slave just got, and the people from the Tai Hospital are indeed at the behest of Concubine Yu Shu, and this medicine is also provided by the Tai Hospital." ”

"It seems that at the Dragon Boat Banquet, the queen's actions really angered her." Chu Qianlan snorted coldly, thought about it, and said lightly: "Send two people to Zhengyang Palace to guard, if there are any more sneaky and harmful people, and deal with it directly, I want to see how many chips she has in her hand." ”

"Where do we have so many people?" I wish the nineteenth embarrassment.

"We don't have it, and Wanxianglou doesn't have it either?" Chu Qianlan glared at him, "Is your head an ornament?" ”

Wishing 19: "......"

The people of Wanxianglou, they said that they could be mobilized? I can't say it, he has to go to his uncle before the night, and I don't know how many smiley faces he has to pay to seconded two people!
