The Queen Mother was shocked, and everyone also looked at each other, a little surprised, and no one dared to speak first for a while.

The most frightened thing was Xia Zixian, her body trembled, and she hurriedly defended: "I, I didn't touch it." ”

The Queen Mother, supported by the palace people, got up in disbelief, and her whole body trembled: "This Guanyin statue has been enshrined here since the day of the first emperor's great trip, and it has never moved a bit, how could it fall down by itself?" ”

"I don't know, I really don't know." Xia Zixian told in a panic.

The Queen Mother knelt on the ground, carefully picked up the golden statue of Guanyin, and wiped it with her sleeve. Fortunately, because the Queen Mother bowed down every day, a long plush blanket was laid in front of the Buddhist shrine, so the statue of Guanyin was intact.

The Queen Mother said "Sins, forgive sins, forgive sins", got up from the ground with great effort, carefully put the Guanyin statue back on, and looked worried: "I'm afraid that there will be a disaster?" Or is the mourning family not pious enough to offend the tuas? ”

Concubine Wan's eyes flickered, and she carefully coveted the queen mother's face: "Empress Dowager Qiyu, you worship Guanyin every day, and you are compassionate and compassionate, and love the people like a son, how can the master condemn you?" I'm afraid someone else collided with Tuas, right? ”

As soon as these words came out, the courage of the concubines was suddenly strengthened, and they immediately took the opportunity to fall into the well: "Such a coincidence, as soon as Concubine Xia knelt down, the statue of Guanyin fell by itself?" One time may be a coincidence, but if it is twice, it is really intriguing. ”

Who among the concubines in the palace didn't know that Xia Zixian saved the holy car under the statue of Guanyin?

For a while, it was all abrupt.

"Speaking of which, the last time the emperor was out of the palace in distress, I felt strange, the Guanyin statue has been standing intact for many years, and I really haven't heard that it will fall by itself. Concubine Xia's two coincidences are really terrifying when you think about it. ”

Everyone, you say a word, Xia Zixian knelt on the ground, and he couldn't argue.

"Impossible, someone must have taken advantage of the topic to play, did something on this Guanyin, and deliberately planted it for the concubine!" Xia Zixian pleaded aggrievedly.

The Queen Mother snorted unhappily: "Then you come and listen, none of us are close to this Guanyin statue, only you are in front of you, what have others done?" ”

Xia Zixian was speechless, and almost cried: "The concubine doesn't know." ”

The Queen Mother's eyes became colder and colder: "The red face is in trouble, it is not that Master Guanyin is reminding the mourning family, this is a bad omen!" The mourning family must not leave a disaster like you in front of the emperor, disturb the court, and bring disaster. ”

Xia Zixian immediately panicked: "No, the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother is aware that the concubine is wronged." ”

"Wronged? Do you mean to say that the mourning family is confused? The Queen Mother reprimanded sharply.

"The concubine doesn't mean that." Xia Zixian kowtowed again and again: "The concubine serves the emperor wholeheartedly, and she definitely doesn't dare to have any evil intentions, the sky can learn from it!" ”

The Queen Mother smiled "hehe": "I'd rather kill by mistake than indulge in vain!" Even if the emperor loves you again, the mourning family can't let him do whatever he wants! Come on, give the mourning family general Concubine Xia ......"

Before he finished speaking, he heard a eunuch outside the palace shouting: "The emperor has arrived!" ”

"The emperor is well-informed." The Queen Mother glanced at Xia Zixian on the ground fiercely, and her anger was self-evident.

All the concubines knelt down to greet the holy car, and with a flash of bright yellow clothes, the emperor's burly figure entered the inner hall.

"Sons and daughters, see the queen mother."

The emperor wanted to kneel down to say goodbye, but the queen mother had already waved her hand to stop him: "Excuse me, no need to be polite." ”

The emperor stepped forward calmly, pretending to have just seen Xia Zixian kneeling and begging for mercy: "Concubine Xia, what's wrong?" Did you make the queen mother angry? ”

The Queen Mother snorted coldly: "The emperor came just in time, you concubine must not be." ”

I told you what happened in time.

Xia Zixian raised a pitiful little face, her eyes were full of tears, and just one glance made the emperor tremble in distress.

He should have known about this a long time ago, but he just smiled slightly, took a closer look at the Buddha shrine, and took a little invisible red silk thread from the golden statue: "Today's wind is strong, isn't it that the red silk hanging on this Buddha shrine hangs the net bottle in the hand of Master Guanyin, and is blown by the wind and dragged down?" It's just a coincidence, the queen mother has always been as wise as a torch, how can she believe these nonsense? ”

"The emperor has to cover it up for her, if it is said that the Buddha shrine of the mourning family is not stable enough, or there is a coincidence, the last time you went out of the palace, in that temple, how strong is the statue of Guanyin, how can it also be toppled? This is clearly the warning given to you by Master Guanyin! ”

The emperor smiled "hehe": "The statue in the temple has naturally been inspected, it is indeed in disrepair and was pushed by a few playful naughty boys, so the queen mother doesn't have to worry about it." You think, if Concubine Xia wasn't there last time, wouldn't I have suffered? Obviously, it was Concubine Xia who helped me escape, how can it be said that it is Concubine Xia's fault? ”

The Queen Mother frowned: "The emperor doesn't believe in the words of the mourning family, and he is obsessed!" ”

Seeing that the queen mother was angry, the emperor hurriedly coaxed softly: "If the queen mother is really not at ease, the son of the minister will summon the Qin Tianjian Zheng Yichen Dao Chang into the palace to pray for the queen mother's disaster?" ”

The Queen Mother snorted lightly from the end of her nose: "Don't perfunctory mourning family, don't mourning families know that the dust is a roundworm in your stomach, and it must be talking to you." ”

"I'm avoiding, is it okay to avoid?" The emperor put down his figure: "If what the Taoist Chief Yichen said is also like the queen mother, I will not say a word, and immediately send Concubine Xia out of the palace." ”

"Really?" The Queen Mother glanced at the emperor.

The emperor laughed loudly: "The queen mother actually questioned the golden words of the king of the country? ”

The Queen Mother glared at him angrily: "The mourning family knows that Concubine Xia is now your top favorite, and no one can move it." The mourning family doesn't have to be embarrassed for her, but to remind the emperor that you are the king of a country, and you must act in a measured manner, and you can't indulge in beauty and delay state affairs. ”

When the emperor saw that the Queen Mother was relieved, he naturally responded in a hurry, and coaxed the Queen Mother again with kind words and no longer pursued it.

The concubines looked at me in private, and I looked at you, and my heart became more and more sour. Knowing that this Xia Zixian is now deeply ingrained in the emperor's heart, he can't be shaken.

A farce ended, and everyone retreated without a good taste.

Concubine Ji went straight to the palace where An Sheng temporarily lived.

An Sheng was busy with his head, Xia Ziwu was on the side, stirring the syrup, and when he saw Concubine Ji, he didn't raise his head.

Concubine Ji retreated from the palace people around her, An Sheng glanced at Xia Ziwu, and took out a pill from her sleeve as usual: "Ziwu, go to bed after eating jelly beans." ”

Xia Ziwu shook her head and shook the syrup in her hand at An Sheng.

Concubine Ji snorted lightly: "She's not stupid, she knows that she has sugar in her hands." ”

An Sheng stepped forward and directly stuffed the pill into Xia Ziwu's mouth. Xia Ziwu's eyelids gradually became heavy, she lost the syrup in her hand, and her body was crooked, and she fell into a coma.

Concubine Ji went straight to the point and said in frustration: "Failed." ”

An Sheng narrowed his eyes: "Could it be that Xia Zixian has been on guard for a long time?" ”

Concubine Ji shook her head: "No, it was the emperor who rushed over in time to defend her." ”

An Sheng was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly: "It's me who underestimated her." misses a blow, I'm afraid that if she has a defense, it will be difficult to attack again. ”

Concubine Ji sighed: "Fortunately, the palace has considered it perfectly, and it has not left any handles." In this way, this Xia Ziwu is really crazy, otherwise if Xia Zixian knew in advance, how could she let go of such a good opportunity to fight back? ”

An Sheng nodded: "What I have always been worried about is that Xia Zixian is using her to do things that hurt the dragon fetus in your womb, in that case, I will not be able to escape the responsibility, it is the so-called killing two birds with one stone." Therefore, even if she is really crazy, you must be careful to watch out for her, and don't let her take advantage of it. ”

Concubine Ji nodded: "This dragon in the belly is my biggest reliance now, and I naturally won't give her any chance to get close to me." Moreover, I must quickly cut through the mess and get rid of Xia Zixian as soon as possible. ”

An Sheng said softly, with a cold meaning in his voice: "A lesson from the past, this time I must take offense as defense, and I must not sit back and wait for death like before, and give her the opportunity to harm me again and again." This medicine is about to be completed, and when the time comes, Xia Zixian will definitely not be able to survive, she will not be able to die, and there will be no day to turn over. ”

"Okay, how long will it take?" Concubine asked eagerly.

An Sheng smiled slightly, and shook the pill in his hand: "The poison and antidote have all been refined." This white pill dissolves in water, is colorless and tasteless, and cannot be tasted. As long as you take it, it will only attack after two days, and it will be slightly itchy at first, like an insect eater. Then, blisters will come out all over the body, emit a foul smell, and ulcerate.

The symptoms of this poisoning are similar to skin diseases, and no one will suspect that it is poisoning, and the evidence will have already been destroyed, and no one will be able to trace the cause of poisoning. Even if the imperial doctor in the palace is miraculous and can cure the poison in her body, and her skin has festered and it is impossible to recover as before, I believe that the emperor will not favor her again. ”

Concubine Ji looked at the pill and felt timid: "This is amazing? Is it harmful for me to touch it with my hands? ”

An Sheng shook his head: "I have also researched the antidote, it is this red pill, according to the medical codex, as long as you take the antidote in advance, there will be no damage to the body."

When the time comes, you and Xia Zixian will eat at the same table, but you will be safe and sound, just to clear your suspicions. As long as Xia Zixian has poison into the abdomen, even if there is the ability to detoxify the poison later, the skin will inevitably have varying degrees of damage, which is difficult to repair, and our goal has been achieved. ”

Concubine Ji snorted lightly: "This time, this palace must have a thorough plan, it must make Xia Zixian's life worse than death, even if it is a risk, it is worth it." ”

"Niangniang, although you can rest assured, I will continue to test Xia Ziwu first, make sure that it is safe and then hand it over to Niangniang, and it will not let you have any risk."

Concubine Ji sighed slightly: "Five days later is the birthday of the palace, when the time comes, the emperor will definitely hold a palace banquet for the palace, this opportunity is rare, I hope that you can hand over this medicine to the palace together with the antidote within five days." ”

"Niangniang, don't worry. Five days is enough. ”

Concubine Fu replied a few more words, and then replied satisfied.
