Chapter 51: Poison (3)

Tuoba Hong looked at the smiling appearance of Concubine Mao and was displeased, and frowned: "Concubine Hui is still sick, you will inevitably disturb her if you talk so much, so let's go back first." "It's the other party who showed satisfaction.

Concubine Mao was stunned for a moment, and immediately looked aggrieved, and shouted in a choked voice: "Your Majestyβ€”" Tuoba Hong didn't pay attention to her at all, turned around and sat on the bed, took Lin Yuan's hand and spoke softly. Concubine Mao bit her lip and looked at her twice before retreating.

Tuoba Hong and Lin Yuan shouted and asked for warmth, and the talented people on the side did not dare to be presumptuous, so they only stood quietly at the end of the bed with their heads down, bowing their heads and not speaking. Tuoba Hong personally brought the medicine bowl to Lin Yuan and fed the medicine, and said warmly: "How do you feel now?" I have already ordered someone to tie up those people in the Shangshi Bureau, and interrogate them strictly, and I will definitely find out the results. ”

Lin Yuan nodded silently and slightly. After a while, he asked, "I don't know what clues the emperor has found?" ”

"Not yet." Tuoba Hong shook his head: "However, purslane was found in the ingredients of the Shangshi Bureau, and a few concubines have recently gone to collect it, so I asked the people in front of the emperor to check on them." ”

"Purslane? Is it the kind of cold dish that is often used to make delicious food? Is the concubine's illness related to it? Lin Yuan said suspiciously.

Tuoba Hong had a slight anger on his face, and said: "According to what the imperial doctor said, your fainting this time is mostly related to eating, and the unstable fetal image also has traces of cold things entering the body. Purslane is a taboo for pregnant women, eating it will not cause miscarriage and will move the fetus, and the Wu Imperial Doctor and the medical women around you must not dare to let you touch it at all. The concubines were always restless, and I didn't look at them clean. ”

"The emperor's holy order, the concubines believe in the emperor." Lin Yuan replied with a soft smile.

After Lin Yuan's accident, Tuoba Hong was furious, and the palace was unlucky because of this incident. Purslane is a home-cooked dish, mixed with soybean paste, green peppers, and small white tofu, which is crisp and refreshing, and many people in the palace love to eat it. The palace people of the Shangshi Bureau and the concubines who received purslane are all innocent, but Lin Yuan will not excuse them, she is unable to protect herself now, so those people will ask for more blessings.

The harem has always been like this, no matter how careful you are, you will be inexplicably hit by flying disasters, and there are concubines who die in vain every year, and there are even a large number of people in the cold palace. If it weren't for Lin Yuan's big life this time, she would have gone to Huangquan earlier.

Lin Yuan and Tuoba Hong were talking, and Fang Cairen brought two bowls of almond crisp over, and presented them to Lin Yuan and the emperor with low eyebrows. Tuoba Hong glanced at her, remembering that this talented person had lived in Huayang Palace for many years and did not move his nest, and she did not ask for permission to move out when Concubine Jing was half-dead, and felt that this person was an honest person. Then he asked, "You live in the same house with Concubine Hui, have you ever noticed anything inappropriate that she has eaten recently?" ”

This sentence was the first time in five years that Fang Cairen was asked by the emperor on his own initiative. She couldn't help but be a little excited, and replied with the trembling in her hands: "No, the concubine didn't pay attention to ......."

Tuoba Hong let out a faint "oh".

Fang Cairen's eyebrows rolled, remembering Concubine Jing's explanation today, he rolled his eyes and said: "Little Master An Lingji has been to Scarlet Smoke House in the past few days, and I heard that Little Master Ling Ji has also used purslane from the Shangshi Bureau. ”

Tuoba Hong's face gradually sank as he listened.

He looked at Lin Yuan and said, "Is there really such a thing?" Has Ahn been to you? ”

To say that there are more concubines who have come to Lin Yuan here in the past few days, she looked at Tuoba Hong and thought for a while before nodding and saying, "Ling Ji came here three days ago. It didn't matter, it was Cheng Gui Niangniang, the lord of Wanchun Palace, who brought her with her, and sat for a while and gossiped. ”

After An Lingji and the other six people entered the palace, they couldn't be distinguished, and they all lived in the side hall. An's went to live in Wanchun Palace, the main concubine Cheng is not favored, but she is not oppressive, she lives quite comfortably.

The people on the side, such as the best-looking He family, were stuffed into Wang Shurong's palace by the queen, and the emperor couldn't go to that place once a year, and the favor fell to the top. The steady and dignified Zhao family was settled in Xianfu Palace, where the main seat Chu Huashang was a good hand, either using her or excluding her, and the Zhao family didn't know how to live in the future.

"Didn't she bring anything to eat?" Takubahiro asked.

Lin Yuan shook her head.

And the person who provoked the incident said nothing more after saying that, bowed his head and found an excuse to retreat.

Tuoba Hong was too lazy to take care of the talented people at this time, and he was bent on ordering people to search for the An family.

Lin Yuan still needed to recuperate here, Tuoba Hong couldn't stay for a long time, so he sat for a while and left. After the emperor left, the palace people of the Scarlet Mansion entered the palace to serve Lin Yuan, and a clever second-class palace maid Shu Fang came up and whispered to Lin Yuan: "Niangniang's matter is very involved, and now those who have received purslane from the Shangshi Bureau have been searched in the palace, and I heard that the queen's people went in and smashed the tables and chairs, and they lost a lot of face." Among the six new concubines, there are two of them, An Xiaozhu and Xie Xiaozhu, there are already rumors in the palace that since the six young masters entered the palace, the harem is not calm. ”

This Shu Fang is not Lin Yuan's henchman, but the time that followed him was not short, and he became a decent second-class palace maid. Lin Yuan smiled lightly: "The six of them from the An clan are also guilty of their fate when they enter the palace. The concubines are all aimed at them, and this time my matter is implicated in the An family and the Zhao family, where others are willing to let them go, they will naturally add fuel and vinegar to slander them everywhere. ”

"But then again, these rumors are not unfounded." Chu Xue said softly: "The six new concubines are not Anfen characters, the day before yesterday, He Lianji and Wei Wenji had a quarrel because they competed for favor in front of the emperor, and they also had a quarrel." ”

"They are all carefully selected by the family, how can they be honest." Lin Yuan glanced up at Shu Fang: "You all retreat." ”

Shu Fang and the others didn't dare to disobey, so they hurriedly retreated and closed the doors and windows, leaving Chu Xue inside. Lin Yuan looked at Chu Xue and said, "How could Fang Cai pick the An family to talk about things today?" ”

Chu Xue's face was solemn, and she pondered: "The slave maid also feels strange. Fang Cai people have always come out of the blue...... Although the six new concubines were hated by everyone in the palace, Xu Ronghua and others all showed the new concubines face, but how could she be compared with Xu Ronghua as a small talent, and how could she be qualified to offend the favored new concubines. ”

Lin Yuan's index finger lightly tapped on the desk, it was a fine red nanmu, and the voice was crisp and transparent. After a while, she said in a low voice: "Fang Cai is Concubine Jing's person." ”

Lin Yuan was not speculating, but a very affirmative tone. Chu Xue's expression changed slightly, and then calmed down: "This is also what we expected. In the past, Concubine Jing fell asleep, and the talented people followed honestly. Now that Concubine Jing woke up, she naturally jumped up. ”

"It doesn't matter whether she is Concubine Jing's person or not, we can all see it, which means that she is just a bright chess piece and not to be afraid. Concubine Jing is not simple, and she doesn't know how many dark chess pieces she has in her hand, that's what I need to pay attention to. Lin Yuan's voice was calm but cold: "Since the six new concubines entered the palace, they have suffered a lot of open guns and hidden arrows, and many concubines have fought against them on the surface, so it is not surprising that they were instructed by Concubine Jing to provoke trouble." However, what really caught my attention was the way Concubine Jing did things. ”

"What do you say?"

"If you can't get along with the new concubines, Concubine Jing doesn't need to instruct Fang Cairen to be so troublesome, just say a word in front of the emperor. used a talented person, and acted very carefully and cautiously, only one word did not dare to say more for fear of arousing the emperor's suspicion......" Lin Yuan said and shook his head again and again: "Such a posture, where is the ordinary competition for favor, it seems that Concubine Jing and An Lingji have an old feud, and they must try to give each other a fatal blow." ”

"What old feuds will there be?" Chu Xue's eyes widened: "An Lingji has only been in the palace for less than a month...... Either An Lingji threatened Concubine Jing, and Concubine Jing wanted to get rid of her quickly. But An Lingji's position is more than a little lower than Concubine Jing, where is she worthy of being Concubine Jing's opponent......"

Lin Yuan couldn't figure it out when he thought of this, so he had to say: "That's it, Concubine Jing's matter, I have time to think about it in the future." Let's think about how to track down the person who killed me this time, even if she is well-calculated, I will definitely find her out and punish her severely. ”

***

Lin Yuan made up his mind that he would not let go of the enemy this time, but he was just stubborn. The imperial doctors didn't have the ability to find out what poison was in her body, and she didn't dare to order someone to search near Changle Palace-

This is the disadvantage of being protected by the people sent by Tuoba Hong. Every step she takes now is under the noses of those people, and this time the matter involves the Queen Mother, and she doesn't dare to act rashly. If she was discovered during the search of Changle Palace, Tuoba Hong would have found out the real reason for her fainting.

A few days passed, and I didn't have a clue at all, but my body was slowly healing. When she fainted, she immediately decided to go back to the Scarlet Building, and she didn't inhale much poison, and the person in the dark must have gritted her teeth and worked hard in vain.

Both sides have no way of taking each other, and things are at an impasse, as if they can only stop it.

There was nothing Tuoba could do about it, the real murderer was very cunning and scheming, so he couldn't find any traces. The victim also concealed and wanted to cover up, and refused to tell the truth in the face of the emperor who presided over justice. Both ends were like this, which stumped Justice Tuoba.

In desperation, Tuoba Hong could only pity Lin Yuan more and more, and sat in the Scarlet Building for a long time every day, and comforted Lin Yuan: "In this harem matter, I can't see everything with my hands and eyes, and I have wronged you for suffering like this." Why don't I dispose of all the concubines who used purslane to relieve the hatred in your heart? ”

When Lin Yuan heard him say this, he knew that he didn't want to investigate this matter. If you can't find out, don't say it, it will make the palace people panic, even if Tuoba Hong loves her again, she can't check for her alone for many years, which makes the palace restless.

The only thing Tuoba Hong could do was to let those innocent concubines carry the black cauldron, and at the same time dispose of them to make Lin Yuan angry, in order to show his love for Lin Yuan.

But that's it......

In the end, it's hard to settle!
