After everything was over, Jiu Yu sat in Concubine Jing's palace and chatted about why Concubine De was not in front of the sickbed, Concubine Jing just shook her head and sighed silently, "Concubine De has been killed by a cane." ”

"Why is it so sudden? Hasn't Concubine De always been in charge of the harem? ”

"It's Concubine Wan in charge now. Concubine De Guifei poisoned and murdered the Queen Mother, the evidence is conclusive, so she was thrown into the dungeon half a month ago, and died with a cane, no one saw her body, and she didn't know where she was thrown after her death. ”

"Concubine De's life ended like this." Jiu Yu lowered her eyes, although she did not have a deep friendship with Concubine De, but ...... But I also feel sorry for the woman in this deep palace.

Concubine Jing suddenly stood up and asked the maids to retreat, and then closed the door herself, Jiuyu looked at her with a puzzled expression, "Sister Concubine Jing, why is this?" ”

I saw Concubine Jing suddenly kneeling on the ground, Jiuyu immediately got up to help her, but Concubine Jing buckled her head heavily, "Concubine De is kind to me, and now that she has died tragically, I will raise her child, and ask the princess to help me!" ”

"Sister, how can I help you?"

"The prince and the emperor were born from the same root, and the relationship between the two is very good, and now the tenth prince and the third prince are all under the knees of Concubine Wan, I am worried...... I'm worried that the Ten Princes will be in danger. Ask the princess to let me raise the ten princes! Concubine Jing buckled her head twice, Jiuyu hurriedly helped her up, Concubine Jing slowly raised her head, tears hung in the corners of her eyes, "Princess, you know Murong Wantian's methods, she wants to support the third prince to ascend to the throne, how can she allow the tenth prince to survive in the world?" Ask the princess to save Concubine De's only child. ”

"I'll do my best to help you, just ...... All this will have to wait for the emperor's funeral. ”

"Thanks! Princess! ”

Concubine Jing is a person who values love and righteousness, Concubine De respected her in the past, and never embarrassed her, a few days ago, Concubine Wan bullied, Concubine De also came forward to call the shots, such a person, how can she not help. What puzzled Jiuyu the most was Concubine De, how could she design to poison the Queen Mother? If this matter is really as Concubine Jing said, where is Concubine De's body? Would the emperor really be so mediocre that he disposed of her without asking the reason?

After only a few days, the Queen Mother traveled west. The entire palace is shrouded in sadness, but in Jiuyu's opinion, the only person who is really sad is Aunt Su next to the Queen Mother, I'm afraid that no one really shed tears, the emperor is afraid that he has long wanted to let the Queen Mother's soul return to the West, and King Changping probably hates her to the bone, although he didn't say it explicitly, but Concubine Mi's death is afraid that it is inseparable from the Queen Mother, and the strange thing is that even the Queen Mother's biological son King Junping can't see the meaning of sadness at all.

Unknowingly, more than half a month has passed, and another winter has entered, and it will be Chinese New Year's Eve soon, and the emperor means the harem seal, because the empress dowager has just died, so there is no need to do a big deal on Chinese New Year's Eve.

On this day, Jiuyu and the king of Changping played chess with the emperor in the imperial study, and Jiuyu was drinking tea on the side, and the king of Changping suddenly said, "The emperor has no master in this harem, isn't it inappropriate?" ”

"Now there are many people in the back position, how many people are staring at it, and there is no one who even has the position of the concubine. Do you have an idea for me? ”

"I don't dare, I just think that Concubine Wan is hard."

Hearing that King Changping meant to mention the matter of the tenth prince, Jiuyu immediately put down the teacup, and the emperor sighed, "I naturally know that she is hard, but according to her temperament, I am afraid that the position of queen will not be able to bear it." still remembers that she killed the princess on death row two months ago, and now I don't know if she has any remorse. ”

"Your Majesty, the concubines have something to ask for, I wonder if the emperor can agree?" Jiuyu stood up, walked over, saluted, and slowly knelt down.

"In those days, I wronged you and mislooked you, and now you have something to ask for, so naturally you have to agree."

Jiuyu slowly got up, "Emperor Xie, the concubine learned that Concubine De was angry with the emperor, and now she has been killed with a cane, pity the two princes she left behind, now the third prince and the tenth prince are under the knees of Concubine Wan, I am afraid that Concubine Wan is in charge of the harem and has no time to take care of it, it is better to entrust the tenth prince to Concubine Jing, first, Concubine Wan can also be a little easier, and secondly, Concubine Jing has no children for many years, and she can also have a companion." What does the emperor think? ”

The emperor thought for a moment, "The princess's words are really reasonable, Concubine Wan has the respect of the queen mother, and it is really hard to hand over these two princes to her to raise that day." I agreed to the princess's wishes, and I immediately made an order.

On this day, Concubine Jing and Jiuyu were wandering in the garden, but they met Concubine Wan, who had not seen her for many days, she looked a little sickly, but seemed to be trying her best to hide the haggard of her face.

"Isn't this Concubine Jing? How have you been lately? I heard that the emperor has always come to your palace these days! Concubine Wan's voice was a little hoarse, and Concubine Jing silently bowed, "Concubine Wan, I haven't seen you for a few days, why are you so haggard?" But are you sick? ”

"I'm sick, but let you pick up ready-made."

"What do you mean by that?"

"Concubine Jing, you took the tenth prince, do you want to grab this throne with me? I still advise you, don't fight with me, I'm afraid that the fight will end up with the same fate as Concubine De. Concubine Wan turned her head to look at Jiu Yan, "You are also prosperous now, the Queen Mother is dead, Zhan Hongyan has no backer, you are also handy in the palace, right?" My good sister, you are really good as a princess. ”

"Sister, I'm afraid you're sick and confused, and you dare to say anything." Jiu Yu stared at Murong Wantian deadly, but she smiled coldly, "You are still like this, which makes me hate it very much." After that, she turned around and left, Manxia helped her weak body, and walked forward slowly, I don't know what disease she has suffered recently, she is so weak, she has lost a lot of weight, and the whole eye circle is blue, if you do too many bad things, will you be punished? Jiuyu stared at the back of Concubine Wan leaving, but looking at her appearance, she looked so much like the appearance of her own poisoning when she was a child, could it be ...... A terrible thought came to Jiuyu's heart.

At night, Jiuyu sat in the pavilion, and the king of Changping pushed the door in, "You all go down." ”

"Yes."

Su Zisheng sat on the side and looked at Jiu Yu who was in a daze, and gently patted her head twice, "What's wrong?" I went to see Concubine Jing today, and I was listless when I came back. ”

"Lord Wang, do you know how to sniff and find grass?"

"Well, that's a very chronic poison, what? Are you also interested in these herbs? ”

"No, it's that I was poisoned when I was a child, and if it weren't for my master, I wouldn't be alive now." Jiuyu slowly raised her head and looked at King Changping, "But today, I saw Concubine Wan and found that her symptoms at the moment are very similar to those I did back then. ”

"You mean, Concubine Wan has also been poisoned by sniffing grass?"

"I don't know, but I always feel that she is sick, she was not like this when we entered the palace, after the death of the Queen Mother, she said that she missed too much, hurt the wind and cold, and rested in the dormitory for a few days, and now it seems that the condition has not improved, I am really worried that the sniffing grass has begun to be used again." Jiuyu's worries are not unreasonable, but who would want to harm her at this time? If it was because of the harem fight, it would inevitably take too heavy a dose and want to kill her.

King Changping thought for a moment, "If you say that you want to harm her, I'm afraid it's Concubine Jing who is most likely." ”

"Concubine Jing didn't bother to fight with her, so I was afraid that if I told me about it, I would implicate Concubine Jing, so I didn't say anything."

"Okay, I'll promise to help you investigate this, but it's just ...... Don't you want her dead? Why do you want to save her? King Changping held Jiuyu's hands tightly, and Jiuyu sighed slightly, "I hate her, I want her to die, but ...... I don't want to see anyone die anymore because of sniffing grass, you don't know how terrible that feeling is, you don't know the feeling that life is worse than death, that desire to survive, I really even had the idea of suicide, but I didn't even have the strength to commit suicide, do you know what it was like to look at my mother worried about me, I watched her cry dry for me? When Jiuyu said this, tears fell on the back of King Changping's hand, and when he heard this, Su Zisheng hugged Jiuyu in his arms, "It's all over." Think no more. These simple eight words, Jiuyu's heart was warm, and she began to regret why she couldn't meet Su Zisheng earlier and didn't become his wife earlier.

Concubine Wan's condition is getting worse day by day, and the emperor has also visited her several times, and invited many imperial doctors to treat her, but there is no effect.

On this day, the Confucian nobles came to visit, sat in front of her sickbed and gently covered it with a quilt, "Now you should also understand, if you don't move to Concubine De, you can cover the sky with one hand, people are doing it, the sky is watching, you have been doing evil for many years, and now it can be regarded as retribution." ”

Concubine Wan looked at the noble man in front of her with half-open eyes, she couldn't say anything.

"There are many benefits of sniffing grass, you also want to know how you were poisoned, do you remember when you were in the palace? I was only five years old, and the eldest lady asked me to poison the second lady, and you drove me to a dead end, do you know how scared I was at that time? If the second young lady is really dead, you know that I will always live with guilt, when did you treat me as a human being, I am just a dog by your side, have you ever seen how Murong Jiuyu treated Red Sleeves and Bixiang? What did you do to me and Manxia? In the dead of night, think about it, and when you get to the underworld in the future, don't blame me. I also have no way. After these words, the Confucian nobleman slowly stood up and walked towards the door, who Cheng thought that he was running into Murong Jiuyu who came to visit.

Jiuyu looked at the Confucian nobleman coldly, "The Confucian nobleman does not forget the old master, it is really moving." ”

"When will the princess ...... When did it come? I didn't know. ”

"If I let you know, I wouldn't have been able to hear you from the bottom of my heart. Sniffing the grass was you ordered? ”

The Confucian nobleman sighed, "I'm also here to protect myself, princess, you also want her to die, right?" You have the same idea as me, but it's inconvenient for you to do it, so I'll do it. ”

Jiuyu sneered, "Then I really want to thank the Confucian nobles, since you poisoned me back then, should the next person to die be the Confucian nobles?" ”

"That...... How so? ”

Jiu Yu smiled coldly, "In the middle of the day, Shengqiu begged me to help you, where do you need me to help you, I think the Confucian nobles are now like a fish in water in this harem." ”
