Chapter 137: Poison in the Water
Lingxi looked at Concubine Rou coldly, despised her clumsy acting skills in her heart, and secretly congratulated herself that she had known about their various actions. Otherwise, the events in the Changxia Palace will be staged again, and in the face of the Wancai people whom Emperor Yong'an really loves, Lingxi is not sure that he will get out of danger safely like last time.
Concubine Rou choked back at Lingxi's words, glared at Lingxi and stopped talking. The friendship of the past year has been completely reduced to nothingness in an instant.
Imperial Physician Zhang's hands on the ground were trembling, and he didn't dare to look directly at Lingxi anymore, for fear that he would not say a word and be grabbed by Lingxi again.
Queen Zhu, who has been pretending to be deaf and dumb, said in a timely voice, "You can't live in peace for a day, and now you can still fight, the discipline in this harem should really be corrected......"
After Empress Zhu's words were finished, there was no sound in the inner hall except for the sobbing sound of Concubine Xin.
The floral fragrance of the wood hibiscus wafted in from outside the hall and mixed with the smell of blood in the hall to form a special fragrance. The scent rippled through the inner sanctum, lingering around each of the concubines.
Lingxi smelled the scent of blood, and wanted to vomit several times. I only felt cold in my lower abdomen, and my body was trembling. She clutched her lower abdomen, and her face became more and more pale.
Concubine Ying saw that Lingxi was uncomfortable, her beautiful eyes turned, and she said to Queen Zhu, "Queen Mother, no one wants this kind of thing to happen to Wancai, but after all, it can't be recovered." Right now, Concubine Ying is pregnant, if there is another ......"
Empress Zhu knelt straight, closed her eyes and muttered for a while, and said, "Concubine Ying has a body, and the palace doesn't want her to be in trouble." But now that the emperor is angry, if he lets Concubine Ying go back like this, I'm afraid that the emperor will be angry with her. ”
Empress Zhu spoke from Lingxi's point of view, but it was not good for Concubine Ying to say something.
Lingxi pulled Concubine Ying's sleeve, smiled at Concubine Ying and shook her head, signaling that she was fine.
Queen Zhu and Concubine Rou have made all kinds of plans for her, but now they haven't used a plan, how can they let her leave easily.
There was a 'ding' sound again at the incense bell, and it was not a while.
Lotus Ye put the cloak that Lingxi took off after entering the Hall of Mercy and put it on Lingxi's body again, and hugged Lingxi's body with both hands, wanting to use his body temperature to warm Lingxi.
But Lingxi still couldn't stop the chill on his body, and leaned into the arms of the lotus leaf.
A eunuch trotted in from outside, knelt beside Empress Zhu, and whispered something. Empress Zhu finally opened her eyes that had been closed, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but twitch slightly.
The little eunuch withdrew and a maid entered. The little palace maid knelt in front of Empress Zhu and whispered a few more words.
After the little palace maid stepped back, Queen Zhu already had a smile in her eyes.
Lingxi was in the arms of the lotus leaf, looking at the essence of Queen Zhu's eyes inadvertently, and her heart was a little colder. In a panic, Lingxi held his handkerchief and vomited.
Because he hadn't eaten for a day, Lingxi just vomited a few mouthfuls of sour water.
Lotus Ye looked frightened, and hurriedly patted Lingxi's back. After Lingxi finished spitting, he took out a Supa from his sleeve and wiped the corners of Lingxi's mouth.
Lotus Ye raised his head to find water to rinse Lingxi's mouth, and after seeing a flash of bright yellow in the dormitory, he immediately lowered his head again. whispered in Lingxi's ear, "The emperor has come out......"
Although it was a whisper, the other concubines also heard it.
Lingxi hurriedly knelt up straight, lowered his head like other concubines, and did not squint.
Emperor Yong'an did not stay in the inner hall, and went directly to the outer hall after snorting coldly at the concubines all over the ground.
After a while, Gonggong Feng went to the inner hall and said to the concubines, "Please move to the outer hall." ”
——————
By the time Empress Zhu brought Concubine Ying and others to the outer hall, Emperor Yong'an had already sat firmly on the main seat. His face was still dark, and the anger in his eyes was still there.
Empress Zhu walked in front of Emperor Yong'an and said, "Please also ask the emperor to calm his anger and take care of the dragon's body." ”
Concubine Ying and the others stood in two rows, and they also said to Emperor Qi Qifu of Yong'an, "Please also ask the emperor to calm his anger and take care of the dragon body!" ”
Emperor Yong'an didn't let Empress Zhu and the others get up, but said in a cold voice, "Wancai people have merit. I named her a concubine and gave her a residence in Yide Palace Yiyang Palace. The six princes she gave birth to, gave the name Li Lingzhao, and entered the royal jade plate ......"
Empress Zhu looked up at Emperor Yong'an fiercely, and when she saw Emperor Yong'an's sword-like eyes staring at her, she lowered her head again.
At this time, Emperor Yong'an was like a wounded beast, and even if Empress Zhu was the queen of the dynasty, she didn't dare to touch her edge.
"I will personally send someone to investigate the matter of the concubine." Emperor Yong'an's fierce gaze swept over every concubine in the palace, "I will no longer hide filth and dirt in this harem and repeatedly hurt innocents!" ”
"Your Majesty's ......," Rou Guifei suddenly raised her head and said, "The concubine may have found out something, and asked the emperor to decide." ”
Emperor Yong'an raised his eyebrows, "Huh? What did you find out? ”
Concubine Rou stood up straight, and said to the concubines who were still blessed, "As Concubine Xin said, Concubine Wan has eaten in the Hall of Mercy Stars, and she has indeed never used half of the meal, but Concubine Wan has used tea in the Hall of Mercy Stars. Xin Concubine, have you used tea......"
Concubine Xin's face turned pale, and her eyes were full of fear when she looked up at Rou Guiconcubine, "Wancai, Concubine Wan did use tea, but the tea was made by Concubine Wan's personal palace maid, and the servants in my palace did not touch it." Even the tea that Wan Concubine drank was wrapped in a handkerchief by the palace maid beside her......"
Luo Chen knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Emperor Yong'an and Empress Zhu, who had already stood up straight, "Your Majesty, the queen, Wan Concubine Niangniang's tea was made by Xia Han, the personal palace maid of Wan Concubine Niangniang, and the tea was also brought by Xia Han. When Xia Han was making tea, the slave maid was by her side, and Xia Han even scalded the tea cup that Wan Concubine Niangniang wanted to use with boiling water twice before using it. If the emperor doesn't believe it, he can ask Xia Han ......"
Xia Han didn't wait for Empress Zhu to speak, and fell directly to the ground.
waited until Queen Zhu asked Xia Han, Xia Han kowtowed and said, "Back to the queen's mother, the things used by the concubine are all carefully collected by the slaves and maids, in order to be afraid that the Wancai people will eat unclean things by mistake." ”
"But your mother still eats a lot of musk by mistake." Concubine Rougui looked at Xia Han fixedly, and said, "If there is no problem with things, then there must be something wrong with people......
Xia Han was so frightened that tears burst out of his eyes, and he only kowtowed to Emperor Yong'an and Empress Zhu, "Your Majesty, the queen, the slave and maid are wronged!" The slave maid never thought of harming the concubine Niangniang, the slave maid never did it! ”
"What are you doing with such nervousness?" Concubine Rou glanced at Lingxi, and said to Xia Han again, "This palace didn't say that you have a problem, but you have a weak heart?" ”
Xia Han didn't dare to speak anymore, only kept kowtowing to Emperor Yong'an and Empress Zhu, and his forehead was already blood-red.
Emperor Yong'an saw that Rougui Concubine was holding a little palace maid, and asked, "Is this the evidence you said?" ”
Concubine Rou turned around and said to Emperor Yong'an, "If you go back to the emperor, it has nothing to do with this Xia Han." This Xia Han was originally the palace maid in the palace of the concubine, and was later allocated to the concubine. Not to mention that Concubine Ying treats Concubine Wan like a sister on weekdays, even if Concubine Ying really wants to do something, she will definitely not do such clumsy hands and feet, right, Concubine Ying. ”
Concubine Rou's words were soft and hard, and Lingxi felt uncomfortable after hearing it, but she couldn't refute it in front of Emperor Yong'an. So he said to Emperor Yong'an, "The concubine has always fallen in love with the concubine, and she will definitely protect her ......"
Concubine Rou interrupted Lingxi's words with a sneer, "Your hands and feet are neat!" ”
Lingxi turned around and looked directly at Concubine Rou, "This palace can't understand Rou Guifei's words, how neat are the hands and feet of this palace?" ”
"Your Majesty," Concubine Rou did not reply to Lingxi's words, but said to Emperor Yong'an, "The concubine has already sent someone to inspect it, and a large amount of musk has been found in the water tank in the small kitchen of the Star Palace. The musk that Wan Concubine mistakenly took came from the water in which the tea was made! ”
Concubine Xin staggered forward two steps, knelt down in front of Emperor Yong'an, and cried no matter what, "No wonder, no wonder the concubines have been blessed with dragon heirs since they gave birth to the fourth princess, your majesty, you have to be the master of the concubines." The concubines drank the musky water every day, and the four princesses ...... Who is it, who is going to do such a poisonous act on the concubine. It's just a matter of harming the ministers and concubines, but it implicates the concubines, the emperor, the emperor ......"
Concubine Ying glanced at Concubine Xin coldly, and said with a little disgust, "Concubine Xin, as the head of the first palace, don't you know that the daily water in every palace has to be replaced every day?" Even if you can't use it on the same day, you will pour it out to water the flowers, and you won't save it for the next day. ”
Concubine Xin's crying stopped abruptly, and her sad expression froze on her face.
But almost immediately, Concubine Xin cried again, "Who knows if that wicked man is pouring musk in the pure water in the concubine's palace every day, and where does the concubine know?" ”
"Xin Concubine, you're enough, be quiet!" Empress Zhu reprimanded.
Concubine Xin was completely silent.
Lingxi was also crying by Concubine Xin with a headache, covering her mouth and nausea, if there was no lotus leaf to support her, I am afraid that she would have fallen long ago.
Emperor Yong'an's face was already helpless, and he waved his hand at Rou Guifei, frowning, and said, "You found something, say it directly, don't beat around the bush anymore." ”
Concubine Rou raised her arms and clapped her hands vigorously.
After two soft snaps, a little eunuch came up with a tray on which lay a yellow bird with a broken wing. That little eunuch was the one who had reported to Queen Zhu in the inner hall of the Mercy Star Hall before.
The eunuch knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Emperor Yong'an and said, "Your Majesty, the servants are ordered by the noble concubine to inspect the Hall of Mercy." On the edge of the water tank in the Hall of Mercy, traces of bird claws were found. Later, the minions found the injured oriole near the hibiscus bush, which was no longer able to fly. ”
Concubine Rou turned to Emperor Yong'an and said, "Your Majesty, the concubine has already ordered someone to check, and this yellow bird contains musk powder in its mouth. It must have been this oriole who put the musk powder into the water tank. ”
Concubine Ying sneered when she heard this, "Concubine Rou is really joking, how can a bird accurately put musk powder into the water tank?" ”
Concubine Rou looked back and smiled brightly at Lingxi, raised her eyebrows and said, "Then, you have to ask our concubine." The birds trained by the warblers back then can recite poems. ”
