"Niangniang, the slave maid thinks that it may not be in the middle clothes of the little master of Xi Concubine." Qiao'er stepped forward a few steps and said with a smile on the burden in Ruyi's hand.

Lan Ruo understood, and said coldly: "Since Sister Xi feels that body search is an insult to her sister, the changed coat can still be searched, isn't it?" ”

He Xi raised her head and stared at Lan Ruo and Qiao'er's faces, only to see Qiao'er's face with a slight smug look, her heart sank violently, Tuoba Chen had already ordered the palace people to get the pale cyan package, the green one was like a lotus canopy, but there was a hidden disaster inside.

Sure enough, Qiao'er only flipped through a few times, and then sent a simple sewn sandwich on the inside of the placket, gently tore the yarn on it, and a folded envelope fell out of it.

Li Bin pointed to the envelope and shouted, "This is the letter!" That's the letter...... Your Majesty, Queen Mother, I am not lying. ”

Ruyi was a little panicked and said: "Impossible! Your Majesty, Niangniang, this dress was prepared by the slave maid herself in the early morning, and there is no such mezzanine at all! ”

Lan Ruo glanced at Ruyi in a low voice and said softly: "You are the personal palace maid of Concubine Xi, so naturally you put your master first in everything." ”

Before the words were finished, it was also a hint that Ruyi was shielding He Xi, and his slender fingers held the letterhead tightly, and only one line of words was written on the thin paper: Tenderness is like water, good times are like dreams, endure the return of Queqiao.

The back is the agreed time and place, and at the bottom is the word "Bin", which is Liu Bin's name, looking at the strong words, Tuoba Chen said coldly: "Go and bring me the letter in his hand!" ”

Qiao'er hurriedly responded, ran down the steps, and presented the letter, there was no signature on the letterhead, Xu was worried about being discovered, opened it, and there was only one sentence: May your heart be like my heart, and I will live up to my love.

It was He Xi's handwriting, although he had only seen it on He Xi's desk once, but Tuoba Chen was still impressed by such a beautiful handwriting, and he laughed coldly: "What a wish that your heart is like my heart, and it will live up to your lovesickness!" I didn't know that Concubine Xi was such a gentle person, huh? ”

The voice was still so cold and waveless, He Xi couldn't help but think of the time when he was so high, kneeling in the snow, looking up at him, begging him, and his eyes couldn't help but turn red. Tuoba Chen was stunned, the first time he saw He Xi's expression, whether he was punished by the queen or wronged, he was stubborn and gritted his teeth, like a newborn little leopard, licking his wounds, but Tuoba Chen may never know that the little leopard in front of him may have grown up, with his own sharp claws into the steel knife, and is planning to tear open the enemy's chest little by little.

Lan Ruo narrowed her eyes full of hatred, and said sharply: "Bold Xi Concubine! Dare to cause trouble in the palace, now that the evidence is conclusive, what else do you have to say? Come on, drag this adulterer and adulteress down to the palace and execute them with a rod! ”

Before the palace people below could make a move, they heard the voice of Fuqing outside: "Your Majesty, Imperial Doctor Lu has arrived." ”

He Xi's heart was relieved, and he hurriedly looked back, and saw that Fuqing was followed by a middle-aged man, with a steady pace, wearing a gauze crown, carrying a black medicine box on his shoulder, looking at the front of the hall with a solemn expression, kneeling down and saluting, everything was in order, with a trace of calm and composure, which made people's panicked hearts calm down.

The tip of He Xi's nose was sour, remembering that when he was a child, his father took him to Lu Mansion, and he always liked to pester Lu Chuan, shouting: Uncle Lu, Jin'er wants to eat something delicious.

Because Lu Chuan's house is always filled with the fragrance of medicine, and the meals are also carefully prepared medicinal food, it is not the same as what Mu Jin usually eats in the Xia Mu Palace, every time he has to think that he can eat a meal when he goes to the Lu Mansion, Uncle Lu, now Jin'er is in front of you, but he can't recognize each other.

He Xi hung his head stiffly, only to hear Lu Chuan's gentle and calm voice: "Your Majesty summoned the ministers of Gonggong Fu to come, I don't know if the dragon is sick." ”

Tuoba Chen put down the two pages in his hand, and instead of looking at it, he looked at He Xi who was kneeling down, and raised his chin slightly: "Please ask Imperial Doctor Lu to diagnose Concubine Xi." Lu Chuan was stunned, but he didn't ask anything, walked in front of He Xi, half-knelt down, and said respectfully: "Please also ask the little master of Concubine Xi to give her hand to the minister." ”

He Xi nodded softly and stretched out her arm, she was already delicate, and her arm became more and more inadequate, Lu Chuan stretched out three fingers and gently put them on He Xi's pulse, carefully probed for a moment, and then asked, "What did the little master eat today?" He Xi said slowly: "I only ate some white fungus chicken shredded porridge in the morning, and there is nothing else, and I drank a bowl of ginger tea at Niangniang's place before." ”

Lu Chuan's brows were furrowed, and suddenly the tip of his nose seemed to smell some aroma, and he whispered that the little master was offended, so he leaned closer. After confirming it, he arched his hand to the emperor and said: "Your Majesty, the little master of Xi Concubine is weak, if the minister is not mistaken, he should have had symptoms of delirium and general weakness before." ”

Ruyi heard it on the side, and hurriedly nodded: "What Imperial Doctor Lu said is right, the little master has never gone out of the Yang Palace, and he can't stand steadily, so he can only be supported by slaves and maids, and later he met this thief......"

"Okay, can the Imperial Doctor see what's wrong?" Tuoba Chen interrupted Ruyi's words impatiently and asked Lu Chuan instead.

Lu Chuan said: "The little master of Xi Concubine should have eaten something by mistake, there is a dizzying medicine in the body, although there is very little left now, but now the pulse is weak and weak is caused by this." ”

A trace of anger flashed in Tuoba Chen's dark eyes, and he looked at the queen on the side and said, "Does the queen know what happened?" ”

Lan Ruo's breath was stagnant, as if she didn't believe that Tuoba Chen would doubt herself, and wrote all the shock, disappointment and sadness on her face, she was already a beautiful woman, so I felt even more pity.

"Your Majesty, is this suspicious of the concubine? Sister Xi also said that she had not only eaten here with the concubines, but Your Majesty ......" The words behind her were already choked, Tuoba Chen glanced at her, and said a little helplessly: "I just asked like this, how could the queen react so violently." ”

"Your Majesty's preference for Concubine Xi's concubine is known, and now that such a thing happens, Your Majesty wants to excuse Sister Xi's sister, and don't splash any dirty water on the concubine's body." Lan Ruo pursed her lips slightly, and said sadly.

"Your Majesty, the minister has one more thing to tell." Lu Chuan interrupted Lan Ruo's words, and said loudly, Tuoba Chen turned his head and asked, "What else did Imperial Doctor Lu find?" ”

Lu Chuan pondered for a moment and said: "The minister found that the clothes on the little master of Xi Concubine were a little weird, it seemed that there was something special smoked on them, but the minister didn't dare to offend, and he needed to get some of the clothes to be sure." ”

Lan Ruo's heart was even more flustered, she glanced at Qiao'er, Qiao'er understood, and hurriedly bowed and retreated, at this time, Tuoba Chen said: "Queen, I remember that I rewarded you with a water-blue lake crepe palace skirt before, but is it still there?" ”

"Today's sister Xi concubine is wearing what His Majesty rewarded before, His Majesty knows that the concubine has never liked such a color, and has been keeping it, today I saw that Xi Concubine's sister's clothes were dirty, and I felt that Xi Concubine has always liked such a color, so I rewarded her."

"So, this dress belongs to the queen's mother?" Tuoba Yue spent all his time eating the snacks on the table.

Lan Ruo nodded and said: "Yes, it's just that this skirt has been guarded in the treasury and only taken out today, as for what Imperial Doctor Lu said, the concubine is not very clear, and please ask Your Majesty to know it." ”

She said it frankly, but He Xi just hung her head, with a look of resignation.

"Since the queen doesn't know, come here, first take Concubine Xi to the side hall to change her clothes, and hand it over to Imperial Doctor Lu for inspection." Immediately, a palace maid came up and respectfully invited He Xi to go to the side hall, He Xi got up, but she didn't want a sharp pain in her knees, she couldn't stand steadily, and knelt on the ground again with a plop.

It was the hard ground of white marble, He Xi knelt down so straight, Tuoba Chen frowned, the palace people next to him turned pale, and hurriedly stepped forward to support He Xi, He Xi's original red pure color gradually faded to blood, she pursed her lower lip tightly, and almost used all her strength to stand up.

But it seemed that her legs couldn't support the weight of He Xi's body, she shook it, and this time the little palace maid was quick and quickly supported her.

Even Tuoba Yue on the side pinched a piece of pastry and was distracted, and there was a faint worry in his drooping eyes, but he was not noticed by others.

Tuoba Chen asked, "Imperial Doctor Lu, what's wrong with Concubine Xi?" ”

Lu Chuan only briefly checked He Xi's pulse, and he guessed: "Xu is concubine Xi's little master is not smooth in qi and blood, and her meridians are blocked, as if she has been injured, and she will only know if she has been carefully diagnosed." ”

Tuoba Yue threw the pastry in his hand on the plate on the side, the silver and exquisite plates collided on the table with a crisp sound, he patted the crumbs on his hands, took out a snow-white handkerchief from his arms and carefully wiped his fingers, and looked at Li Bin who was kneeling on the ground with his eyebrows slightly raised and said, "Since you said that you are a childhood sweetheart with Concubine Xi, do you know about it?" ”

Li Bin frowned, and after a long time, he said, "I'...... I may not have been home for a long time, so I don't know what happened to her over the years. ”

He stretched out his hand to support the sweat on his forehead, and stammered, Tuoba Yue didn't seem to want to let him go, and continued to ask, "Then how did you send the letter to the harem?" ”

Li Bin seemed to be prepared to say: "My subordinates patrol the forbidden palace defense, naturally there is a chance, and besides, Xi'er and I have also met in an abandoned palace. ”

The abandoned palace, in this way, coincides with what Zhao Ruxue said.
