Du Zhong cautiously stepped on the threshold of the main hall of the Chonghua Palace, slowly walked to Chang'an, bowed to her and saluted, "Weichen Du Zhong has seen the noble concubine Niangniang. ”

Chang'an raised his head slightly, and Wanxiang immediately understood, and quietly retreated from the surrounding palace people.

Chang An turned to look at Du Zhong, opened his lips lightly and said, "Wanxiang just told the palace, you have something important to tell you, isn't there something wrong with the Tongxin Palace?" ”

Du Zhong's face was calm, and he leaned over deeply and said, "Back to the noble concubine, when Fang Cai Weichen came from the Tongxin Palace, he did find something unusual. ”

Chang'an raised his eyebrows slightly, "You can tell me about it." ”

Du Zhong looked upright, and said slowly, "In Zhaoyi Niangniang's daily diet, most of the ingredients used are restrained, Zhaoyi Niangniang is in the middle of six months of pregnancy, if you take this kind of food for a long time before giving birth, toxins will accumulate in the body, and it will hurt the body at the light level, and it will be ...... at worst" Du Zhong hesitated slightly, "If it is serious, it will kill." ”

Chang'an listened to it, her thin lips suddenly hooked up a soft smile, she stroked the jade bead earrings in her ear, and said quietly, "It seems that this Song Yanji is the target of everyone, in addition to this palace, there are also others who want her life." ”

Du Zhong stood at the bottom and bowed down busily, "But Zhaoyi Niangniang has found it in time, and she didn't eat the food, and she was the first to discover ......the abnormality and let Weichen check it."

"She's a smart one." Chang An smiled vaguely, and his tone was not cold, "But this at least shows that she has completely trusted you, which is also a good thing for us." ”

After that, she glanced at Du Zhong meaningfully, with a bit of irresistible indifference in her tone, "Have you done everything that this palace asked you to do?" ”

Du Zhong said respectfully, "Yes, Niangniang." Wechen had already added a small amount of quinine to Zhaoyi Niangniang's medicinal diet every day, and the dose was so small that it was not enough to be detected. ”

"Did you make sure she drank every bowl?"

Du Zhong bowed his head deeply, "Yes." ”

Chang An suddenly sneered, "That's fine." ”

Du Zhong's body was chilled, he lowered his head more and more, and said in a deep voice, "Guifei Niangniang, the matter of that meal ......"

"You just do what she says." Chang'an raised his eyes, and there was a cold light like deep sea ice in his eyes, "If she doesn't eat, you will let her do your duty." Speaking of this, she suddenly thought of something, and immediately asked out loud, "What?" Was she ready to tell the emperor? ”

Du Zhong bowed his head respectfully, and replied with a calm expression, "Not really." Zhaoyi Niangniang's intention was to hide this matter, looking at her meaning, it seemed that she was waiting for the birth of the prince before making plans, and Zhaoyi Niangniang also instructed Weichen not to mention this matter to the emperor. ”

"That's fine." Chang'an smiled silently, her face was unusually peaceful, "She wants to tell the emperor, I'm afraid she won't be able to wait for this day." ”

Du Zhong was shocked, he tried his best to avoid Chang'an's gaze, bowed his head deeply and did not dare to speak.

"Eucommia."

Du Zhong suddenly heard Chang'an call him, and immediately raised his head vigilantly, "Weichen is here." ”

"Go and find the aunt in charge of the small kitchen in the Tongxin Palace, this palace has something to ask her."

As soon as Du Zhong heard this, he dared to hesitate, and hurriedly bowed and left.

As soon as Du Zhong left, Wanxiang walked forward slowly, handed Chang'an a cup of tea, and said warmly, "Master, let's take a sip of tea and rest." ”

Chang An took the teacup in Wan Xiang's hand, took a sip lightly, and said, "Wan Xiang, who do you think did this?" ”

Wanxiang smiled softly and said eloquently, "There are not a few people in the palace who are staring at the Tongxin Palace. This person can approach the small kitchen of the Tongxin Hall and use his hands and feet in the meal, so he must have quite a status. And Zhaoyi is pregnant, the first thing they have to deal with must be the child in her womb, and now it is rumored in the hospital that Zhaoyi's fetus is pregnant with a prince, so it will definitely provoke people's fear, if it is a childless person, there is no need to worry, but those who have children and are favored should be the most afraid. Doing it as fast as possible is the best way. ”

Chang An smiled slightly, "Are you suspicious of the queen and Zhong Zhaoyuan?" ”

Wanxiang smiled softly, "Although the queen is highly respected, she is the lord of the six palaces after all. Moreover, the queen was born in the royal aristocracy, and she must be disdainful of this kind of subordination, and the slave maid did not think that this matter was done by the queen's mother. ”

"That's it." Chang'an condensed a quiet smile, but a chill suddenly flashed in his eyes, "When Bengong first heard the news, he thought of Zhong Yuxiu. ”

Wanxiang's face sank slightly, "The master thinks it's ......"

"Bengong has long been suspicious of her." Chang An raised his eyebrows slightly, and then said sharply, "Although the pot of begonias in the palace was sent by the queen back then, she and the queen are so close, they must be inseparable. ”

Wan Xiang felt sorry in her heart, "Speaking of which, Zhong Zhaoyuan was close to the queen, and it was also when Miaochun was in trouble......"

"Even if she didn't kill her, it must have been her conspiring with the queen." Chang'an's face suddenly turned cold, and hatred gradually grew in his heart, "She wants to kill Song Yanji, and the palace will let her do it, and she can't be happier to kill people with a knife." ”

When Wanxiang heard this, she couldn't help frowning, "But master, Imperial Doctor Du just said that Zhaoyi Niangniang hasn't eaten those foods......"

"What does it matter if you've eaten it or not? As long as the things are placed there, Zhong Yuxiu will be to blame. Chang An sneered silently, and the deep hatred in his eyes gradually spread.

But in half an hour, the door of Chonghua Hall was suddenly pushed open, and Chang'an and Wanxiang turned around, but what they saw was Xiao Shanzi and Xiao Dezi dragging an aunt into the hall.

"Master, people are here."

Chang'an showed a slight look of approval, smiled and said to the two, "Thank you for your hard work, let's wait at the door." ”

"Yes." The two bowed their heads silently and retreated respectfully.

Aunt Rong, who was kneeling on the ground, was already shocked, her face was pale, and she kept kowtowing to Chang'an and begging, "Concubine Niangniang spare her life, Guifei Niangniang spare her life......"

Seeing her look like a thief, Chang An couldn't help but sneer, "What did you do to make this palace spare your life?" ”

Aunt Rong staggered in fright and almost fell to the ground, "The slave didn't do anything, didn't do anything...... The slave and maid are the people of the Tongxin Temple, and they have always adhered to their duties......"

"Doing your duty? Can you say that? Chang An suddenly sneered and gave Wan Xiang a look, Wan Xiang immediately understood, and slapped the aunt in the face.

Wan Xiang was extremely heavy, Aunt Rong covered half of her face, crying and begging, "Guifei Niangniang spare her life, Guifei Niangniang spare her life......

"Say, what benefits did Zhong Zhaoyuan give you, let you poison Zhaoyi and the imperial heir like this!"

Aunt Rong trembled violently, and immediately understood the deep meaning of the concubine's words in her heart, and when she kowtowed, her mouth kept chanting, "It's not Zhaoyuan Niangniang, it's not Zhaoyuan Niangniang, Zhaoyuan Niangniang didn't do anything, didn't do anything......

Chang'an saw that she was talking upside down, and her mind was already confused, and if she dragged it out any longer, she couldn't ask anything, so she said, "If you don't recruit here in the palace today, out of this door, the palace will immediately send you to Shang Fangsi!" Let you suffer all the punishments, but it will be up to you to see if you can still admit it! ”

Aunt Rong was so frightened that she couldn't speak, so she just kowtowed vigorously and said, "Niangniang, Niangniang, you just spare the slave and maid, it was all done by the slave and maid alone, and it has nothing to do with Zhaoyuan Niangniang......"

Seeing that she refused to confess Zhong Yuxiu, Chang'an was immediately angry and raised his voice outward, "You all come in!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Xiao Shanzi and Xiao Dezi entered the palace gate and arched their hands to Chang'an, "Master, what do you command?" ”

"Drag her out, hit the fifty boards, and don't let the palace see her again."

Xiao Dezi hesitated slightly, bowed forward, and seemed to whisper to Chang'an, but his voice was extremely loud, "Master, if these twenty boards go down, even if you don't want human life, you will be half dead, and fifty big boards are enough to kill people." ”

"All you have to do is fight." Chang An sneered slightly, "When she can't stand it anymore, she will naturally recruit her." ”

After that, Chang'an didn't look at Aunt Rong, who was kneeling on the ground and trembling silently, and waved his hand directly, "Drag it down." ”

Xiao Shanzi and Xiao Dezi did not hesitate, and immediately dragged Aunt Rong outside one by one, Aunt Rong lay on the ground, so frightened that she couldn't even say a word for help, and was dragged out of Chonghua Hall by the two in despair.

As soon as he came in, Chang'an knew that the matter was done, so he smiled and said, "But it's recruited?" ”

Xiao Dezi smiled with a star and arched his hand, "It's a move." But if ten boards are played, she will recruit them all. ”

Chang'an's eyes were cold, and he sighed indifferently, "I can't stand such a punishment, Zhong Yuxiu really saw the wrong person." At last, she turned to Xiao Dezi and said, "Bring her in." ”

When Aunt Rong came in, she didn't even have the strength to cry. Xiao Shanzi just threw her to the ground and retreated.

Chang'an looked at her coldly, her dark and cold eyes only scraped lightly on her face, Aunt Rong couldn't stand it, and immediately kowtowed and said, "The slave and maid are recruited, the slave and maid are recruited, it is indeed Zhaoyuan Niangniang who asked the slave and maid to do this." ”

Chang An listened and said silently, "What did she tell you to do?" ”

Aunt Rong was stunned when she heard this, stretched out her hand and trembled and took out a handkerchief from her arms, she opened it gently, and Wanxiang immediately stepped forward to see, Aunt Rong didn't dare to dodge, only handed the handkerchief to Wanxiang's hand, Nuo Nuo said loudly, "This is Zhaoyuan Niangniang's order, let the slave maid make a meal with Xiangke ingredients every day and send it to the Tongxin Palace, these saffron flowers are also given to the slave by Zhaoyuan Niangniang, let the slave and maid add to Zhaoyi Niangniang's meal......"

Chang An raised his eyes and glanced at the handkerchief in Wan Xiang's hand, and asked indifferently, "Is there anything else?" ”

"No, no." Aunt Rong kowtowed again and again, her shoulders trembled, "Zhaoyuan Niangniang explained these two things to the slave and maid, but the slave and maid only did this one today, and before they had time to add the saffron, Zhaoyi Niangniang had no meal...... "After that, she raised her head and looked at Chang'an with a desolate gaze, "Please be gracious to the concubine, don't tell the emperor about this matter, the slaves and maids have already recruited ......"

Chang'an bowed slightly, but he didn't look at her, but only said sharply, "If you murder the emperor's heir, you should be punished by the nine clans!" Even with Zhong Zhaoyuan, he can't get out of it! ”

When Aunt Rong heard the words "Zhu Jiu Clan", she trembled with fright, and she only cared about kowtowing on the ground, and she couldn't say a word begging for mercy.

"But this palace doesn't want your life." Chang'an suddenly said in a deep voice, "You go back to the Tongxin Hall and do what Zhong Zhaoyuan wants." It's just that after the matter is completed, Zhong Zhaoyuan will definitely not leave you alive......"

Aunt Rong was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "Ask the noble concubine to save the slave maid, the slave maid doesn't want to die......

"This palace will naturally keep you." Chang'an's eyes swirled, and he said in a deep voice, "You go back to the Tongxin Hall first, you have been out for so long, if you are discovered, you should be suspicious." The rest of the things, this palace will think for you. ”

Aunt Rong kowtowed again and again, "Thank you, Guifei Niangniang, thank you Guifei Niangniang!" ”

Chang'an didn't bother to look at her, so he only asked Xiao Shanzi to lead her down again, and turned to Wanxiang and said, "You keep an eye on the movements of Tongxin Palace, you must keep this aunt safe, if she dies, Zhong Yuxiu can be clean." ”

Wan Xiang comprehended, and said humbly, "Yes, master." ”
