Chapter 238: Insolence
When Lei Zhen arrived at the Fengling Palace, all the people were waiting there.
The leader is naturally Concubine Liao, who shares the same worries for the queen as her.
"Concubine Gong, you're here." Liao Rongyu hurriedly greeted him. "At this time, the queen mother was sick, and the emperor had only been out of the palace for a short time, and my heart was in turmoil, and I didn't know what to do. Do you want someone to catch up with the emperor and ask the emperor to come back and take a look? ”
"This ......" Lei Zhen saw that her anxious face flushed, and she couldn't make up her mind for a while.
"That's it, otherwise, let's go see the queen mother first." Liao Rongyu hurriedly said: "There shouldn't be many people going in, I'll go in by myself." Anyway, the queen needs someone to take care of her. The things in the harem will be troublesome to the concubines. ”
"Nope." Lei Zhen hurriedly stopped her: "The queen mother once ordered that no one should enter the Fengling Palace. The aim is to prevent the spread of acne. If you go in so rashly, if you also get infected with a bad disease, won't you live up to the kindness of the queen's mother. ”
"What then?" Liao Rongyu was anxious: "Niangniang's body is already weak, and her previous illness has not been cured, if I can't serve from the side, it will be difficult to be safe." ”
"Let me go." Soft Er didn't know when he was standing next to these two people, and frowned. "The emperor specially instructed the two to assist the queen in the affairs of the harem. The two younger sisters couldn't pull away at all. It's better for me to go in and serve my mother, and I can also stop by to see Zizhou. As you know, it's been a long time since I've seen Zizhou......"
"Let you in, do you want to serve the queen's mother, or are you selfishly worried about your child, do you think others can't see it?" Xinwei came over and scolded her. "The queen's mother contracted the pox disease just to take care of Zizhou, do you still think that the queen is not as good as you take care of?"
"I didn't mean that." Ruan Er's eyes were red: "I am grateful to the queen mother." It is precisely because of gratitude that I want to do something for my mother. It's better to see Zizhou. But I really don't suspect that Niangniang is bad for Zizhou. ”
"Alright." Liao Rongyu interrupted the two of them: "Concubine Yingniang, it's not that we suspect you with ulterior motives. Even if you want to see your child, there's nothing you can't do. It's just that the queen mother has something to say first, and I'm afraid that it is not appropriate for anyone to go in at this time. Wait for the imperial doctor to come out, let's ask about the situation before it's too late. ”
"It's okay." Joor lowered her head, looking sad.
Liao Rongyu shook her head at Xinwei and motioned for her not to say anything more. After all, at this time, the emperor was not in the palace, and the concubine had already lifted the grounding. Looking at the entire harem, she and Lei Zhen are just concubines. Concubine Ying and Concubine Lian are the concubines. If there is really any dispute, after all, it is a high-ranking person who has gained more power.
It's okay to suffer a loss in vain, I'm afraid that once the situation is controlled by the concubines who are not on good terms with the queen, something big will happen if they don't get along.
Just when everyone was in deep thought, the palace door of the Fengling Hall slowly opened.
The heavy "squeak" sound attracted everyone's attention.
Bingling came out at this time, covering her mouth and nose with a white veil, and she was just standing by the threshold of the palace gate, and she didn't take a single step forward. "You say hello to all the mothers."
"At this time, I won't make these false courtesies." Liao Rongyu was anxious: "How is the queen mother?" ”
"The slave maid is here to pass on the message of the queen's mother." Bingling raised her voice slightly: "Although the queen mother is infected with pox, she specially ordered that there is no need for any concubines to serve the disease. I also asked Concubine Liao and Concubine Gong to continue to take care of the affairs of the harem, so as to avoid the gift of asking for peace. Before the queen mother has fully recovered, no one is allowed to step into the Fengling Hall for half a step to prevent the spread of the disease. In addition, all the palace people in the Fengling Hall were not allowed to go out until the evil disease of the entire palace was eliminated. ”
"But...... We're worried about the mother's body. Liao Rongyu had red eyes and choked up, "Can you let us go in and see Niangniang." It's good to just take a look outside the door. ”
"Concubine Liao is relieved. Doctor Hu Shen and the deputy judge have already mastered the countermeasures for pox, and I believe that the queen will be cured soon. Bingling smiled calmly: "Niangniang only said that she can be idle for a few more days, please give a Niangniang to go back to their respective palaces." ”
"Wait." Lei Zhen had to ask more: "This matter is not trivial, what does Niangniang mean...... Do you want to show the emperor? ”
"Naturally, it doesn't have to." Bingling's tone was calm: "The emperor's personal expedition is more important. The queen mother is not allowed to bother the emperor about this. ”
"Niangniang is thinking about the court and the emperor, she is really virtuous." Liao Rongyu couldn't hold back and shed tears.
"Concubine Liao, don't worry, the slave will definitely take good care of the queen." Bingling saluted them again and turned back to the palace. There was another heavy sound of the door closing, and the concubines dispersed.
When she got the news, she changed her mind. "Are you sure the queen is really infected with pox?"
"Yes." Jing Qiao nodded neatly: "I heard that after the queen met the emperor, she fainted because of high fever." The Imperial Pharmacy also hurriedly sent some more medicines. ”
"Then the palace is not in a hurry to leave the palace." Cang Lianrao smiled, waved his hand, and asked the palace people to remove the things. "Stay in the palace and have fun with the queen."
"But ......" Jingqiao was a little worried: "Niangniang originally wanted to leave the palace and follow the emperor to drive in person." Being a companion along the way and fighting side by side will inevitably increase the emperor's affection for you. It's better than staying in the palace and not seeing each other. Now that the queen is sick, the mother has changed her mind, and the slave always feels that this matter is afraid that something is wrong. ”
"What's wrong?" He looked at her in pity.
"If the queen really died of illness, then even if the emperor wants to blame, he can't blame the mother. At most, the imperial doctor who treated the queen was beheaded to vent his anger. But in case the queen is killed by someone who calculates, as far as the eye can see in this palace, only you and the queen have the most festivals. Of course, the emperor will be the first to suspect you. But to be honest, the queen is in the back, and I'm afraid there is more than one person who wants her life to return to heaven. Whether you succeed or someone else succeeds, you are deeply involved in it, and you are suspected for nothing, so why bother? ”
"Do you still want this palace to go to the emperor?" Mercy glanced at her and found the answer in her eyes.
"Nature." Jingqiao nodded again and again: "The emperor is more important to the mother than the queen." As long as you have the emperor's favor, sooner or later this harem will be yours. ”
"Poof." Cang Lian couldn't help laughing: "Jingqiao, Jingqiao, you finally understand things now." If it had been before, you would not have said such a thing to Hongu. Your master, but the emperor. ”
"Niangniang, you don't care about your past suspicions, and let the slave maid accommodate you. The slave and maid will repay you for this kindness. If the master realizes that the slave and maid are not even of this use, they will not stay in this world anymore. Jingqiao's eyebrows were solemn, and his face was full of sadness: "Only when you are good can you have a future for slaves." ”
"That's right." Cang Lian smiled calmly: "Therefore, it is an eternal truth that good birds choose trees to perch on." It's just that the queen finally had this disease, and it would be too stupid not to take the opportunity to get rid of her. Just missed this good opportunity, I am afraid that every time I think of it in the future, I will beat my chest with regret. ”
"Niangniang, don't blame the slave for speaking bluntly." Jingqiao thought for a moment, and his tone became a little cold: "It's a good opportunity, but it's not necessarily it." Na Hu is a divine doctor, and the deputy judge has always been loyal to the queen. It's really not easy to be heavy on the queen under their noses. If they find something and tell the queen, and the queen uses any unclean means, won't it hurt us on the contrary? ”
"Who said that you must use poison...... Cang Lian raised her eyebrows slightly: "If you want to kill someone, just attack her where it hurts the most, naturally." ”
"Niangniang means ......" Jingqiao was a little confused.
"Chu family, isn't that protector about to die?" Cang Lian pursed her lips slightly: "I heard that the queen secretly arranged for the imperial doctor to treat him before. If he dies at this time, the queen will definitely be heartbroken and difficult to add, and maybe she will die. ”
"The slave and maid understand." Jingqiao said this, but he couldn't smile on his face: "But the emperor's Yulin guard will strictly guard the entire Chu family. It's not that easy to get your hands dirty......"
"yes, that's why I need to stay. Plan how to do it. Cang Lian smiled slightly: "When this matter is dealt with, it is not too late to go to the emperor again." You, word came out, saying that Bengong was unwell and was bedridden for the past two days. Before the palace has thought of a countermeasure, no one should bother. Also, you pay more attention to the movements in the palace, but if anyone is disrespectful to the palace behind their backs, keep it in mind for the palace. What this palace has now is the strength to clean up these sluts. ”
"The slave understands." Jing Qiao didn't persuade him more, and quickly retreated from the inner room.
Her thoughts, I'm afraid Concubine Pian is not clear at all. Her lips are dead and her teeth are cold, if her errand by the side of Concubine Pian is not good, if Concubine Pian has any mistakes, her life will not be long. So to protect the concubine at this time is to protect herself.
I hope that Concubine Pian will not be extreme for a while and do something out of control.
Seeing her leave, Cang Lian immediately called an inner chamberlain to come in. "You go to the Internal Affairs Bureau and get some incense powder. During the days when the palace was grounded, they didn't send incense powder. When is this all gone, and I haven't made up for it yet. Tell them to make up the previous amount, not a single box is missing. ”
"Yes." The inner chamberlain hurriedly withdrew.
The corners of Cang Pian's lips hung a faint coolness: "Since you can't move the queen and the people of the Chu family first, then find another one to entertain." Otherwise, how boring it would have been for a long time! ”
In the huge palace, her smug laughter like a silver bell was heard. The laughter pierced through the lattice, drifting far, far away.
