"You're so blessed that you didn't really suffer a disaster." The queen sighed, stopped looking at Lin Yuan, turned her head and said to the emperor: "The concubine knows about the Bai family, it is her life that suffers, and the emperor must not be sad anymore." ”

The queen said comforting words, but the corners of her eyes were clearly wet.

Although the Bai family is dead, Concubine Xiang is still safe and sound. The queen knew her duty, so she went to take Concubine Xiang's hand again, and said pityingly: "Fortunately, there is still this one in Concubine Xiang's belly. ”

Tuoba Hong brought a cup of tea to eat, and said lightly: "The queen's news is spiritual, and Concubine Xiang is also fine just now." ”

"When the concubine came, she met the Liang Yuan in the cloister and was sentenced." The queen explained: "When the concubine first came over, she only heard that Concubine Xiang's sister was suffering from a sudden illness, and her heart was full of thoughts, and when she saw the judgment of the Liang court, she asked him a few words, and then she knew that Lord Liang had rejuvenated her hand, and a pair of medicine had saved Concubine Xiang's life. ”

Tuoba Hong nodded when he listened, Liang Yuan judged that he was decent and only loyal to the king, since the emperor didn't want Rui'er's identity to pass on, he would naturally help cover it up.

The queen was still busy going to see Concubine Xiang again, and her face was very concerned: "How are you feeling now?" It's really okay, right? ”

Concubine Xiang had no intention of entanglement with the queen, glanced her head to the side, and made a weak appearance. The queen was not annoyed when she saw her presumptuous, and instructed left and right: "Concubine Xiang is in need of supplements, go to Changxin Palace to get some deer antler velvet and bear bile, and reward Concubine Xiang." ”

"The slave and maid thank the queen for the grace of Concubine Xiang." Mu Shuang, the palace maid, was very good at looking at her eyes, knowing that her master was pretending to be sick and didn't want to pay attention to the queen, and she was afraid of losing her manners, so she knelt down and thanked the queen loudly.

"Concubine Xiang is okay here, as the queen said, she is a blessed one." Takubahiro reached for the tea bowl. Lin Yuan saw that he drank a few sips frequently, and knew that he had a dry mouth in his heart, so he personally went to pour Longjing for him. When she came back with two teas, she only heard the queen say to the emperor: "The concubine is late today because the harem has important matters to deal with, and this matter needs to be reported to the emperor." ”

The emperor sneered, "Today, everything is together. ”

Lin Yuan held a cup of tea for the emperor and the empress, and continued to sit in the corner. The queen said with a guilty face: "The harem is restless and annoys the emperor, is it the fault of the concubines...... Today, the eldest prince had a slight heat stroke while playing with a kite, and the concubine went to visit the Yongshou Palace. The eldest prince is not serious, but when the palace maid went to find medicine for the eldest prince, a strange bottle somehow rolled out, and the palace looked very much like a forbidden object. ”

This so-called "forbidden thing" is not a powerful thing, it is still very different from poison - it is just a trick used by concubines to fix their pets, and it does not harm the human body, but it is a medicine passed from the hook bar, which is really dirty.

Because of the noble status of the concubine, the emperor's dragon body is even more supreme, and this kind of thing is naturally not allowed to be used in the court. But if you can't stand it, the effect is wonderful, and the concubines are flocking to it, and many people hide it in the palace. Sometimes unfortunately he was searched out by the queen, and because it was not a serious crime that harmed people, he was routinely grounded and punished as a punishment.

It's just that what the queen wants to say today is not as simple as a forbidden thing.

The queen raised her eyes and looked at the emperor's face, and continued: "This palace knows that Concubine Rou has always been dignified and polite, and she will not delay the emperor's favor, so she should not be stained with this kind of dirt. It's just that the ancestors have strict etiquette, and the concubines have to search the Yongshou Palace to prove her innocence. As a result, a search really found a bunch of weird and bizarre small medicine bottles. The concubine invited the imperial doctor to investigate, and several imperial doctors said that it had nothing to do with the 'forbidden thing'...... Oh, that's a lot worse than a forbidden object. It is not our Central Plains medicine, few people can recognize it, and it is difficult to identify a few bottles of disfigurement, inverted throat, and even death...... Looking at the large pile of medicine bottles left, the imperial doctor said that it was definitely not a good thing, and it was all used to harm people......"

The queen said a lot like a lotus, and her words were more shocking than one sentence, and it was easy to finish speaking, and then she sat quietly and waited for the emperor's words. At this time, Tuoba Hong's face did not move, and he only asked the queen lightly: "Is there such a thing?" ”

There was no joy or anger in the emperor's words. Lin Yuan looked at his face from the side, and he couldn't guess what the emperor was thinking, and he couldn't even figure out whether he was angry or whether he cared about this matter.

Lin Yuan couldn't help biting her lip, it seemed that this man was still more difficult to deal with than she imagined. In the past, most of the time she could guess his intentions, but when something big happened, this man was impenetrable, so she couldn't get a needle.

The queen paused for a moment before saying: "The concubine also felt shocked when she heard the words of the imperial doctor, the matter is serious, and the concubine thinks that it is better to leave it to the emperor." As he spoke, he ordered the palace maid to bring things up and present them to the emperor: "This plate was found from the Yongshou Palace." ”

Tuoba Hong's eyes swept over the bottles and cans displayed in front of him one by one, and he didn't speak.

The queen didn't seem to want to get a response from the emperor, so she just rushed to finish everything she wanted to say: "If such a thing happens, even if Concubine Rou doesn't use these things to harm people, it is a big crime to hide poison privately." And it's all terrifying...... The concubine has already made the decision to confine her in the Yongshou Palace, waiting for her to fall. ”

The concubine later learned about the affairs of the Lintoe Palace. The inner supervisor who passed the message reported to the concubine that Concubine Xiang had been poisoned, and it was a strange poison that the imperial doctor could not solve, and the concubine felt that something was wrong when she heard it...... Since there are so many strange and powerful things in Concubine Rou's Palace, will the poison in Concubine Xiang's house have anything to do with it? The concubine brought all these things from Concubine Rou, and it happened that Lord Liang and Lord Li were still waiting in the side hall, and Lord Liang recognized the poison in Concubine Xiang, and he would definitely be able to tell if there was anything in these things. ”

Tuoba Hong reached out and pinched a black porcelain vase with a slender neck in front of him, turned it around twice in his hand, and took another bottle to look at. It seemed to be watching for a while, and then said: "The queen is really neat, and she found out that Concubine Rou was secretly hiding poison in a short period of time." Since it is the queen who leads the way, the poison of Concubine Xiang here has not been found out, so these things will be handed over to the queen for review. ”

The queen was surprised that the emperor could praise herself for being "neat" and giving everything to herself; Then she regained her look, thinking that the emperor trusted her more than before, and it was not because of Concubine Rou's guilt.

At that moment, he diligently ran an errand, ordered someone to call Liang Yuan from the side hall, and discussed with Concubine Xiang's palace maid to find the source of the disaster.

Lin Yuan thought that it would take at least two hours to find out the poison, but the Liang Yuan judge quickly led people to find out. Mu Shuang and the two little palace maids brought the incense burner in the dormitory to the emperor and queen, and took out the remaining spices in the treasury.

When it came to this, everyone understood that it was a matter of spices. Liang Yuan inspected the spices taken out of the warehouse one by one, shook his head and said, "There is no problem here. ”

"So it was added after the fact?" The Emperor asked lightly.

Liang Yuan nodded: "The incense powder is still very dry, it should have been put in today." ”

Lin Yuan remembered, in fact, Fang Cairui'er had already found out the root cause, so she asked Yao Fusheng to extinguish all the incense and open the window for ventilation.

The queen sighed, repeated the words that Concubine Xiang had suffered, and finally pointed to a pile of porcelain bottles found from Concubine Rou's palace and asked Liang Yuanju: "According to what the adults see, are there any similar poisons in these things?" ”

"The queen has a lot of things here, and Wei Chen is sparse, so she needs to spend more time identifying them." Liang Yuanju picked up one of the small porcelain bottles, and looked disdainful: "It's indeed some tricky and weird drugs." ”

"Then it's too tiring to be a doctor." The queen's face was slightly dark, she originally wanted to solve this matter within today, but unfortunately this matter was not simple...... It seems that Liang Yuanju is not a well-known person, and he can't be sharp-eyed in the face of these little-known strange poisons, and he still needs to take time to investigate.

But it doesn't matter, she can afford to wait.

Liang Shouchang then checked Concubine Xiang's pulse, and said that there was no major problem, and after leaving a tonic prescription, he and the two medical officers withdrew with a large bag of harmful medicine brought by the queen. The queen watched the group of imperial doctors leave, and Fang turned her head to discuss with the emperor: "Your Majesty, how to deal with this matter today?" Shen she ......"

"Liang Shouchang hasn't found out the results yet, so the queen doesn't need to worry." Takubahiro said very slowly.

The queen sneered: "It's the concubine who is impatient." Saying that, he glanced at Concubine Xiang and Lin Yuan: "Concubine Xiang's sister is still sick, Guiji has also suffered a lot of grievances today, and the concubine is not good to bother again, so let's go back and wait for news from Lord Liang first." ”

"It's okay, you can go back first." The emperor didn't mean to keep the queen at all: "Yongshou Palace didn't find out, you can put it first." But in the Xianfu Palace, you should give me a good care. The emperor said and brought tea: "Empress, you need to do a lot. ”

The queen was shocked when she heard this, and then she realized that she was too radical in the matter of Concubine Rou, for fear of provoking the emperor's dislike. The things found in the Roufei Palace have not yet been checked, but the charges of the Chu family in the Xianfu Palace are conclusive. As the queen, you should do it to the Chu family first......

She then hurriedly smiled and said, "Yes, it was the concubine who encountered so many things at once, and she didn't distinguish between priorities and priorities in a daze." Rhyme...... The Chu family did such a thing, and it hurt Sister Bai...... The concubines will find out the matter, and all those who participate in the affairs of the Chu family will be dealt with according to the palace rules. As for the Chu family, she was originally in a high position of contouring, and the concubines grounded her first, waiting for the emperor's will. ”

The Emperor nodded silently. The queen cautiously bowed her head and retreated.

Lin Yuan followed the queen and retired. This time, the emperor finally didn't keep her.

The emperor naturally stayed to accompany Concubine Xiang.
