"Your Majesty—" Su Peiyuan's voice suddenly sounded outside the door: "The queen said that it was late at night, and I was afraid that you would be hungry, so I brought you snacks." ”

Song Jinyan glanced at Concubine Qiong: "Let her in." ”

Kou Shu entered the door, but when she saw Concubine Qiong crying, she saluted slightly: "The concubine doesn't know that the emperor is deliberating, and the concubine retires." ”

Song Jinyan just wanted to agree, but suddenly remembered something, raised his hand to stop Kou Shu and said: "Concubine Qiong's child is strange, I want to hear what Concubine Qiong has to say, since the queen is the lord of the six palaces, let's listen to it together." ”

Kou Shu heard this, but her face was not surprised, nodded, and sat down under Song Jinyan, invisibly, cutting off the distance between Song Jinyan and Qiong Concubine.

"Concubine Qiong, you continue to talk about the glass beads." There was no trace of emotion in Song Jinyan's voice.

At this moment, Concubine Qiong's heart was extremely flustered - I don't know why, Kou Shu's appearance made her feel very uneasy. But the stage has been set up, and now I have to go on stage. I had to nod and continued: "The concubine played with the glass beads for a long time until she miscarried that day. ”

Speaking of this, Concubine Qiong covered her face with a handkerchief: "I originally thought it was a concubine who was blessed, but I don't wonder others, there were many and miscellaneous people in the palace on the day of the miscarriage, and the imperial doctor didn't find anything." After that, the imperial doctor came to Qiongyu Pavilion several times, but he found something unusual. ”

"Oh?" Kou Shu glanced at Concubine Qiong with a smile: "What's wrong?" ”

"The imperial doctor smells a faint musk fragrance, the queen mother, you know, musk is an extremely cold and extremely yin spice, as long as the fetus in the womb is stained with a little bit, the fetal gas will be unstable."

Song Jinyan frowned: "You mean, the musk taste comes from the glass beads that Concubine Xiao gave you?" ”

Concubine Qiong couldn't cry anymore, lying on the ground softly, and there were still palace maids supporting her: "Your Majesty, you must be the master of the dead child, Your Majesty ......"

Kou Shu almost applauded Concubine Qiong's excellent singing and songwriting performance, but she still said with a straight face: "Concubine Qiong, you said that the glass beads have musk, where are the glass beads at the moment?" ”

Concubine Qiong nodded and gestured to the maid behind her. The maid immediately presented a tray, Kou Shu stepped forward, fanned it gently, turned her head and said to Song Jinyan: "Your Majesty, there is indeed a musk ingredient in this, and the content is not low. ”

Song Jinyan frowned, and there was a faint anger in his tone: "Someone-go and call Concubine Xiao over to me." ”

The Xiaoxiang Courtyard where Xiao Concubine is located is not far from the imperial study, and it is time for a cup of tea, and Xiao Concubine has arrived.

Song Jinyan took the lead in speaking: "Concubine Xiao, look at it, this is the glass bead you gave to Concubine Qiong." ”

Seeing the familiar object in Song Jinyan's hand, Concubine Xiao was slightly stunned, and then nodded: "Exactly." ”

Kou Shu's tone was slightly cold: "You can see clearly, Concubine Qiong is now saying that there is a musk ingredient in this glass bead, which is the culprit of her miscarriage." ”

Hearing this, Concubine Xiao suddenly got up and looked at the glass beads carefully for a long time: "This is indeed the glass beads I gave to Sister Qiong that day - but I definitely didn't put anything harmful in it." Speaking of this, Concubine Xiao had already knelt down, her face full of fear.

Song Jinyan's face was blue: "It's really your thing, so how can you explain the musk on it?" ”

Concubine Xiao has a slender figure, her skin is better than snow, her white and red face is dyed with a faint blush because of fear and panic at this moment, and the shell teeth that bite her lower lip tightly look even more pitiful. The whole person kept trembling, but he couldn't say a complete sentence, he just kept reading: "The concubine doesn't have it, the concubine doesn't have ......"

Song Jinyan was already furious, and waved his hand to let people pull Concubine Xiao down.

Kou Shu suddenly spoke: "Your Majesty, slow down-"

Concubine Qiong raised her head suddenly, and a hint of foreboding flashed in her heart.

Kou Shu took the glass beads on the tray, checked it carefully, and suddenly raised his head and said, "Your Majesty, in my opinion, there is still something strange about this matter." ”

Concubine Xiao nodded again and again as if she had grasped a life-saving straw: "Your Majesty, the concubine is wronged, please ask the emperor to see it." ”

Kou Shu smiled slightly and said: "It is true that this glass bead contains a very large amount of musk, but the concubine wants to ask, when Concubine Qiong said that she had a miscarriage, did she faint?" ”

Song Jinyan was also present that day, and Concubine Qiong had to nod: "That's right, I fainted at that time." ”

Kou Shu frowned: "Musk is an extremely cold thing, but he also has another characteristic, that is, it can make people's qi and blood vigorous, and the effect of boosting qi, if you inhale a large amount of musk, the fetus in the womb will not be guaranteed, but people should be energetic, and they will never faint because of the decay of qi and blood." ”

Concubine Qiong trembled suddenly, she only cared about thinking of musk, who would have thought that Kou Shushi would go out of Qingcheng Gate, Qingcheng Gate's medical skills are a must in the rivers and lakes, Ren is Concubine Lan, and she didn't notice this detail.

"Since the queen said so, let's call the imperial doctor to ask for clarification." Song Jinyan waved his hand and called Su Peiyuan.

Concubine Qiong trembled violently - if the imperial doctor investigated carefully, her lies would soon be exposed, but at this moment, she was already riding a tiger, and she couldn't help but tremble, and there was a chill on her back.

"Report-" An urgent order came into the palace, and it turned out to be an urgent news of 800 miles: "Your Majesty, the flood situation in the south of the Yangtze River has deteriorated, and the Yanjiang embankment has just collapsed, and the houses of hundreds of residents downstream have been washed away. ”

"What!" Song Jinyan stood up and rushed straight out of the imperial study.

Leaving Kou Shu, Qiong Concubine and Xiao Concubine in the imperial study, looking at each other with a very complicated expression.

Seeing Song Jinyan leaving, Concubine Qiong breathed a long sigh of relief, and then saw Concubine Xiao glaring at her viciously, looking like she wanted to eat herself alive: "Concubine Qiong, I have no grievances with you, why do you want to frame me like this?" ”

Concubine Qiong don't look around: "If you haven't done it, you will naturally be innocent at that time." ”

"Humph! Innocent? I'm afraid that by that day, my life will be lost! Concubine Xiao sneered, her eyes revealing resentment.

"Concubine Qiong, have you ever thought about this child, have you really been pregnant?" Kou Shu looked at Concubine Qiong with a smile, and suddenly said: "This child is strange in your arms, and it is strange if you don't have it, from beginning to end, there are only a few words from the imperial doctor, and you have only served the emperor for one night, is it really that coincidental?" ”

Concubine Qiong looked up at Kou Shu, her eyes full of disbelief: "What does the queen mother mean by this?" The concubine didn't understand. ”

Kou Shu smiled faintly and glanced at Concubine Xiao: "You step down first, there's nothing for you here." ”

Greatly frightened by this, Concubine Xiao was supported by the maid, and her steps were a little unsteady.

Kou Shu's eyes skimmed over the glass beads brought by Concubine Qiong, revealing a hint of mockery, and then said, "If you want to know the truth, come to Changle Palace tomorrow to find me." ”
