Chapter 173: The East Window Incident
Coming out of Qiyinxuan, Ling'er's eyes seeped like ice, and she muttered: "From now on, I will promise." β
"Niangniang, what did you say?" The girl on the side was stunned.
Xu Ling shook his head violently, as if he wanted to throw something out of his mind, and said: "I am Xu Xu, I am not the stand-in for the princess, from today on, I will get what belongs to me by myself." Her eyes burned as if they were burning.
Kou Shu quietly listened to Mandarin Duck tell herself everything that happened in Qiyinxuan, and there was no trace of turmoil in her heart. treacherous, she has seen a lot in this harem a long time ago. Xu agreed to this out, nothing more than to plant trees for the predecessors and the descendants to enjoy the shade, taking advantage of the emperor's residual feelings for the Qing nobles, and rushing to get a good relationship with the Qing nobles.
The people behind this scene originally wanted to use that painting to make the Qing nobles faceless in front of the Queen Mother, and there must be a back hand behind him. It's just that she didn't expect that the Song family behind the Qing nobles had such a big power in the previous dynasty, so that the emperor's board was raised high and fell gently. Now I have given myself a hot yam, and how to find this person out has become my own problem.
Kou Shu let out a long sigh in her heart.
If you want to say who did all this, she also has an expectation in her heart, but she has always been unwilling to face it, maybe what she is unwilling to face is the same person as her.
However, life is like this, and everyone is responsible for what they do.
Slowly getting up, Kou Shu slowly said to a few girls beside her: "Let's go, set up the autumn garden." β
Autumn Garden is the residence of Concubine Xuan.
"The Queenβ"
Seeing Kou Shu coming, Bai Xuan was not surprised at all, and sat quietly on the chair, motionless.
"Concubine Xuan." Kou Shu spoke slowly.
"You're here."
"Yes, I'm here." There was a hint of tiredness in Kou Shu's voice: "Why are you like this?" β
"Why bother?" Bai Xuan snorted, don't look over, there seemed to be a few crystals in her eyes: "Queen Mother, don't you think that in this huge harem, the most unquestionable thing is these two words?" β
Kou Shu shook her head and looked at the person in front of her quietly. After a while, he slowly spoke: "It's just that no matter what, Concubine Xuan, if you have the heart of harming people, you must expect that there will be a day of retribution." β
"Retribution?" Bai Xuan raised his head suddenly, his eyes were covered with red bloodshots, and he obviously hadn't slept well for several days: "Queen Mother, my dead child, who will give me retribution, I will never be able to get pregnant again, who will give me retribution?" β
"What?" Kou Shu was shocked: "You mean, all this was done by the Qing nobles?" β
Bai Xuan was stunned, as if he had lost his mind, and muttered to himself: "My brother came to the palace that day and told me that the medicine I take every day was added with the herb of pig madness, and then he grew like crazy, so that in the end my child could not be saved. β
Kou Shu looked at the person in front of her, I don't know why, there was infinite sadness in her heart, she slowly raised her head, and asked, "How do you know that it is the hand of the noble Qing?" β
Bai Xuan smiled bitterly, and then there was a trace of fierceness in her eyes: "My girl saw with her own eyes that the personal maid of the Qing nobleman in the autumn garden took away the medicine residue in my bowl, if it wasn't for the truth to cover up, what would she do with my medicine residue?" β
Kou Shu's eyes widened: "Could it be that just by virtue of this side of the word, Concubine Xuan, you-"
"It's not a one-sided statement!" Bai Xuan stood up suddenly, staring at Kou Shu's eyes fiercely like a demon in hell: "Queen Mother, there is a debtor and a master, and my child who was harmed by the noble man was stillborn, so that I can never conceive a child from now on, Queen Mother, you should understand that Jun En is like flowing water, if I can't have my own child, I will always be just a duckweed in this palace." β
Widening her eyes in disbelief, Kou Shu looked at the person in front of her: "Concubine Xuan, what do you mean by this, what do you mean from now on, you can never get pregnant again?" β
"Otherwiseβ" Concubine Xuan's eyes showed a sad look, and her voice was already a little hoarse: "If not, will I always have to look for disgust in the harem with this pig-like body?" β
"What did you do?" Kou Shu had some guesses in her heart, but the idea was too terrifying, and she really didn't dare to speak.
"I took the Muscle Rest Pill." Concubine Xuan's voice seemed to come from the sky, ethereal and full of helplessness: "I have signed a contract with the most evil medicine in the world. β
Hearing this, Kou Shu couldn't help but gasp. Muscle Rest Pill is a medicine that has been banned in the previous dynasty, taking this medicine can make the body lose weight quickly, and the skin is whiter and smoother, blowing can be broken, and it is lighter than snow.
Feiyan, the favorite concubine of the previous dynasty, won the favor of the emperor in one fell swoop by virtue of taking this pill and being able to dance in the palm of the emperor of the previous dynasty. It's just that the consequence of this incident is that the muscle breath pill is extremely cold, and it is extremely harmful to the body, so Feiyan never conceived another child in her life, and died before the age of 30.
Kou Shu looked at Concubine Xuan in front of her in disbelief, as if she didn't know this person. She really couldn't imagine that in order to regain Song Jinyan's trust, Concubine Xuan would sacrifice her own life.
"Concubine Xuanβ" Kou Shu's voice squeezed out of her teeth word by word: "You are really crazy." β
"Am I crazy?" Concubine Xuan raised her head and looked at Kou Shu in front of her in a daze: "It's that you're all crazy." Do you know where that medicine came from? β
Kou Shu suddenly recalled: "Bai Tingran gave it to you? β
"Heh," looking at the scenery in front of her, Concubine Xuan's eyes lost focus: "What family, what brother, they are just selling each other for profit." β
Kou Shu shook her head, and for a while she didn't know what to say: "Concubine Xuan......"
Bai Xuan shook his head: "Queen Mother, the matter has come to this, I have nothing to say, can I ask, how did you know that this matter is related to me?" β
"In the harem-" Kou Shu looked at the person in front of her, with a little sympathy in her heart, and muttered: "There are very few people who know how to paint. There are very few people who can understand how to make pigments. β
"That's it?" Concubine Xuan looked up, and there was a hint of disbelief in her eyes.
Kou Shu shook her head: "Of course not, the person who will frame the Qing nobles must be from the harem, among which there are not many people who know how to paint, and more importantly, it is your nose of Concubine Xuan." β
"Nose?"
Kou Shu nodded: "The smell of untreated realgar is pungent and choking, and the effect on snorting cannot be dissipated for a few days, can Concubine Xuan remember, how many times did you sneeze on the birthday of the Queen Mother?" β
Kou Shu was only suspicious, but after adding what Concubine Lan came to say that day, she noticed the smell of realgar, and Kou Shu basically understood the truth of the matter in her heart.
