Chapter 249: Revenge (4)
His fingers pressed slightly, and sure enough, the paulownia wood was broken, and with it, a black, round thing fell out of it.
He took it and held it in the palm of his hand, and after He Xi bandaged it, he poked his head out, saw the crack and said: "It turned out that it was disconnected here, it's a pity, it's all to blame for the improper maintenance of the concubine, such a good piano was ruined like this." β
Her tone was full of regret, Tuoba Chen straightened up, put his hands behind his back, and said, "It's a pityβ"
He said: "Forget it, this piano is also an old thing, Fuqing, take the piano away and hand it over to the Internal Affairs Office to repair." β
Fuqing hurriedly stepped forward and hugged Qin down, and Tuoba Chen said: "I still have something to do, so I'll go back to the Heart Cultivation Hall first." β
Fu turned his head and instructed Ruyi: "Pay attention to the wounds on your little master's hands, don't get wet, you know?" β
Ruyi promised, and helped He Xi to get up, and sent Tuoba Chen out.
Tuoba Chen kept a straight face all the way, his expression was silent, Fuqing held the qin, followed behind, Tuoba Chen said: "You go and call Wei Zhongliang to come, I have something to ask him." β
Fuqing nodded hurriedly and whispered, "Your Majesty, what is wrong with you?" Why didn't you come to Dr. Lu? β
Tuoba Chen said: "Lu Chuan-forget it, call Wei Zhongliang." β
Fuqing hurriedly went down and pleased.
Before Fuqing came back, he saw a little eunuch standing outside, looked at Tuoba Chen, and said, "Your Majesty, the slave has something to come back to." β
Tuoba Chen was bored in his heart, so he said impatiently: "Let's talk about something." β
The little eunuch said with joy in his heart: "If you go back to Your Majesty, Concubine Hui has returned to the palace, saying that if Your Majesty is free, please go to Luhua Palace." β
Tuoba Chen said: "I know, you go and say goodbye, and say that I will go over tonight." β
The little eunuch's eyes were filled with joy, and he went away happily.
At this time, in Luhua Palace, Lan Xin, who got the news, was sweet in her heart, and said exquisitely: "Your Majesty really loves Niangniang, Niangniang asked her to send a letter, and Your Majesty agreed to come over." β
The smile on Lan Xin's face climbed up to the corners of her eyebrows little by little, and suddenly, a little eunuch ran in with a panicked look, and Linglong reprimanded when she saw this: "In front of Niangniang, what kind of system is it that she is flustered." β
The little eunuch hurriedly said: "Back to Niangniang, there is news sent over." β
Lan Xin looked at the people around her, "You guys retreat, just leave Linglong to serve alone." β
It wasn't until everyone had left that he said, "Show me somethingβ"
The little eunuch presented a small piece of paper with both hands, Lan Xin opened it and looked at it, her expression changed suddenly, she looked a little flustered, looked at the little eunuch and said, "When did you get the news?" β
The little eunuch hurriedly said: "It's Fang Cai, as soon as the slave gets the news, he will give it to the mother, but what happened?" β
Lan Xin straightened up and said: "It's okay, you always pay attention to the movements of Lingxiu Palace, once there is news, do you know about going back to the palace immediately?" β
The little eunuch nodded hurriedly and said, "The slave only knew, and the slave retreated first." β
Lan Xin nodded, and only when only Linglong and her were left in the entire store did she say, "Linglong, something happened." β
Linglong hurriedly said comfortingly: "Niangniang, what happened?" β
Lan Xin said: "The matter of the Ice Spring Palace has been discovered. Linglong said puzzledly: "How is it possible?" If it was discovered, why didn't it make a fuss? β
Lan Xin frowned tightly and said, "I don't know if this palace doesn't know, you say, will they find any clues?" β
Linglong said: "No, Niangniang, our people do things cleanly, and there is no movement when they come in, it was a matter a long time ago, even if they are checked, they can't be checked." β
When Lan Xin heard this, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "However, Your Majesty knows about it, and he doesn't make any moves, which is really strange." β
Linglong said: "Your Majesty doesn't know the person behind this, why don't we take this opportunity-"
"Opportunity?" Lan Xin repeated in a daze.
Linglong said eagerly: "Yes, Niangniang, do you think, if it is said that it is a plot to kill the emperor's heir, who is suspected in this palace?" β
Lan Xin said: "If it is a suspicion, the queen is pregnant with a dragon heir and wants to give birth to a prince before Concubine Shu, it is possible, it is also possible in this palace, as for the Xi nobles because of the eldest prince, it is also possible, but the other people in the palace are not impossible, but a few of us are the most suspicious." β
Linglong nodded and said, "You see, Your Majesty must think the same way, but the noble Xi was wronged once before, and Concubine Xu Shu trusts her again, the rest of the one, why don't we take this opportunity-"
Lan Xin's heart suddenly brightened, and said, "Since they are all suspicious, we will use this opportunity to make her unhappy." β
As she spoke, she whispered something to Linglong, and then said, "But you have to pay attention to the measurement, just make a show, don't really hurt the fetus in the womb of the uterus." β
Linglong nodded knowingly and said, "Don't worry, the slave will definitely pay attention." β
On the other side, when Wei Zhongliang arrived at the Heart Cultivation Palace, he saw Tuoba Chen being on the dragon chair, staring at something in a trance, and he knelt down respectfully and said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty is blessed with Jin'an." β
Tuoba Chen waved his hand and said, "Get up, I called you here today for a matter, why don't you come and see what this thing is?" β
Wei Zhongliang didn't know why, so he stepped forward and took the thing handed over by Tuoba Chen, put it in the palm of his hand, only to see that the thing was round, and there was a strange fragrance when he got closer, and the fragrance was faint and very difficult to be noticed.
Wei Zhongliang crushed the thing, took a little, put it in his mouth and touched it twice, spit it out again, and said with a shocked expression: "Where did Your Majesty get this harmful thing?" β
Tuoba Chen glanced at him and said, "You will say what this thing is for, as for where you got it, you don't have to care." β
Wei Zhongliang knelt on the ground and said: "Back to Your Majesty, this thing contains musk, but the musk smell is strong, and it is well known, this person used saffron powder mixed together, just to be able to restrain each other, but this medicinal property, but it is not reduced at all, if it is taken, it is difficult for a woman to have children for life, if it is just contact, it is good if the time is short, if it is a long time, I am afraid it is also difficult to conceive." β
He said word by word, without saying a word, he saw Tuoba Chen's expression sink a little, Wei Zhongliang thought for a while and said: "Chen suddenly remembered a thing, the medicine that Concubine Xu Shu took a few months ago is very similar to the treatment of medicine, could it be-" He looked at Tuoba Chen, obviously with an extraneous meaning.
Tuoba Chen sneered and said, "Okay, you go down, you should know what to do today." β
Wei Zhongliang's words were already risky, he didn't know where this thing came from, he could only guide it, he saw Tuoba Chen's ugly expression, so he said: "The minister knows, please rest assured." β
After speaking, he looked at Tuoba Chen's gesture, and retreated respectfully.
Fuqing had been standing at the corner of the hall, and when he saw Wei Zhongliang leaving, Tuoba Chen said to Fuqing: "Fuqing, what do you think of this matter?" β
Fuqing has always been by Tuoba Chen's side, so he naturally knows that this thing was obtained from the Yaoqin at the end of the luan, and he also knows that the qin was originally given to He Xi by the queen's mother.
Involved in these people, even if Fuqing was favored and relied on his identity, he didn't dare to say a word, he hurriedly knelt down on the ground and said: "The slave is stupid, you can't speculate." β
Tuoba Chen said: "Don't you understand, or don't you dare?" Don't you believe that my queen could do such a thing? In the name of giving the qin, this vicious drug was sent to the palace of the concubine, if it wasn't for the broken strings today, I am afraid that it would have to stay in the Lingxiu Palace for a few years. β
Fuqing didn't dare to raise his head, he said in a sullen voice: "Your Majesty, this qin is not the queen's mother after all, but also the queen got it from elsewhere, isn't it?" β
Tuoba Chen suddenly remembered a person, and after a while, he smiled, that kind of laughter was desolate, pathetic, and even with a trace of nostalgia, he said: "Impossible, do you know who gave her this qin?" It was Mu Cheng's birthday gift, she was very precious, and besides, she--well-thought-"
It's just that when he talks about this, he won't say more, people are like this, some lies have been told for a long time, and they only take care of themselves as the truth, and in order to cover up their crimes, they will continue to use the good things of the past to whitewash the peace.
Tuoba Chen is like this, he will think of Mu Jin, think of her goodness, and her friendship, but only he can't admit the crimes he has committed.
Fuqing stopped talking, he didn't dare to splash such dirty water on the current queen, Tuoba Chen sighed, threw the thing in the flower pot on the side and said: "You send a few more people from the Internal Affairs Office to the palace of Concubine Shu to serve, remember that it must be trustworthy, this child, I don't allow him to do anything, and Lingxiu Palace, let the imperial doctor prescribe some medicine to nourish the body, by the way, didn't Lu Chuan treat her leg disease again?" Let Lu Chuan recuperate. β
Fuqing smiled and said: "Yes, Imperial Doctor Lu said that the little master's leg disease has improved, and now he goes once every half a month." β
Tuoba Chen nodded and said, "That's fine." β
That night, Tuoba Chen arrived at Luhua Palace according to what he had promised Lan Xin before. The imperial dining room prepared dinner, a very sumptuous table, both meat and vegetables, and a very nutritious crucian carp tofu soup. He saw that Lan Xin's face was a little plump, so he said, "Morning sickness is much better now?" β
Lan Xin nodded and said: "With the blessing of Your Majesty, the child in Xin'er's womb is also sensible, knowing that she feels sorry for her mother, she will not toss the concubine." β
Linglong was serving vegetables on the side, and when she saw Lan Xin eating a few mouthfuls of the soup, she persuaded her: "Niangniang drink less, otherwise it should be at night-"
"Linglong, this palace sees that you are getting more and more bold, and you dare to say anything." Before Linglong's words fell, she was interrupted by Lan Xin's words.
