Chapter 70: Falling Ill

Chen Zhiyi poured himself a cup of tea, but his eyes kept staring at the storyteller.

This tea is black tea, not very bitter, after all, Chen Zhiyan, Murong Jin, and Xie Ene are not used to drinking too bitter tea, so this black tea is a good tea for them.

Just as Chen Zhiyi was looking energetic, more than a dozen officers and soldiers suddenly rushed in outside the teahouse, looking at their menacing appearance, it didn't look like they were here to drink tea.

They're here to arrest people.

Come and catch the storyteller.

The storyteller struggled hard, but the officers and soldiers who captured him were so strong that he couldn't break free, and was finally dragged away. Before he was dragged away, he still held on to the door and refused to let go, but after the officers and soldiers drew their knives, he was afraid.

The teacup was still pinched in mid-air by Chen Zhiyi, and Chen Zhiyu was reluctant to blink his eyes in this scene, "Fa, what's going on?" ”

Xie Eran knew that it was the Yu family's guard, he saw it when he incarnated as Feng Fei and went to the Yu family, Yu Shangshu sent someone to arrest the storyteller, thinking that it was because Yu Guifei couldn't bear it anymore in the palace.

"I'm afraid that the people who slandered Concubine Yu in the capital have been arrested." Murong Jin also came back to his senses.

Slander?

Yes, that's the excuse when those officers and soldiers arrested people. Slander the concubine of the dynasty.

Xie Eran also said: "Come to think of it, I heard that Concubine Yu Guifei is also sick because of this!" The weather turned cold, and she was frightened every day, and she never got out of bed. ”

Concubine Yu did fall ill.

For more than ten days in a row, more than a dozen little palace maids died in her Yongqing Palace, and I heard that several palace maids died here on the first day and there the next day.

It's nothing short of a miracle.

At first, the emperor was still suspicious of Yu Guifei, but after a long time, he knew that someone was deliberately dealing with Yu Guifei.

But who could it be? Queen Xia? It won't be her, she has always been very good to her subordinates, and she won't secretly kill such a palace maid in order to deal with Concubine Yu, not to mention that Xia Lingsheng had just come back from defeating Xiyue, so she didn't have the heart to do anything to Concubine Yu.

Wang Shufei? It shouldn't be, her child will be born in four months, not to mention that she has no power or power, how dare she do it to Concubine Yu?

Xie Zhaoyi? She has always been obscure, and it seems that she is indeed undisputed, but ......

The emperor felt that Xie Fanghua had this possibility. He can't say the motive, but Xie Fanghua has the heart and ability.

"Do you want me to go into the palace to see my sister?" Chen Zhiyi said, and turned his head to look at Murong Jin, "Although Yongqing Palace is quite far away from Jinhua Palace, I'm still a little worried about my sister." ”

Of course, Murong Jin was also worried, but with his identity, it was inconvenient to enter the palace to visit Xie Fanghua, and now it was November, and Chen Zhiyi could also go to see Xie Fanghua.

"Okay, you can go and see it tomorrow." Murong Jin nodded.

When he went the next day, Chen Zhiyi also saw the emperor, he had just come out of the Jinhua Palace, his face was very calm, but after a closer look, there was anger in his eyes that could not be hidden.

Chen Zhiyi saluted until the emperor was far away, and then he got up and entered the Jinhua Palace.

Just now...... The emperor seems to be glaring at her, right?

What did the emperor do in Jinhua Palace? What are you talking about with your sister? Could it be that the emperor wanted to come to his sister's trouble because of something happened to Concubine Yu?

With these questions, Chen Zhiyan followed the little palace maid to the backyard to find Xie Fanghua.

Different from the simplicity of the past, Xie Fanghua wore a silver-red moire brocade dress today, her hair was half pulled up, and she looked a little lazy and casual, she sat in the pavilion and painted leisurely, if she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, Chen Zhiyi felt that the emperor had never been to Jinhua Palace.

It was Qingzhi who saw Chen Zhiyi first, smiled at her, and then walked to Xie Fanghua's side and told her: "Niangniang, the second lady is here." ”

Xie Fanghua's hand holding the pen paused, and then put down the pen and looked up.

Chen Zhiyi walked up to Xie Fanghua and looked down at the painting. Chen Zhiyi didn't know how to paint, and at a glance, he only knew that Xie Fanghua painted flowers and birds, but Chen Zhiyi didn't know what flowers Xie Fanghua painted, hibiscus, or peonies?

"Why did Zhi Yu come? Don't even say a word in advance. Xie Fanghua motioned for Qingzhi to take away the things on the table and beckoned Chen Zhiyi to sit down.

"Come and see you!" After Chen Zhiyi sat down, he felt that he was walking too fast just now, and it was quite hot after suddenly stopping, and even sweated behind his back, "Sister, is that Concubine Yu okay?" ”

Xie Fanghua knew that she was here for this matter, and she patted the back of Chen Zhiyi's hand to reassure her, "It's okay." ”

Chen Zhiyi's hands were a little hot, and she was patted by Xie Fanghua's slightly cool hand, she felt quite comfortable.

When she came in, she had a lot of questions she wanted to ask her sister, but now that she saw her sister's calm smile, she felt that there was no need to ask.

Xie Fanghua asked Chen Zhiyi a lot of questions, she asked how Murong Jin was, asked Xie Enran and Chen Zhiyan how their relationship was recently, asked Xie if he went to Zhoujia Temple again, and asked Chen Bozhong how his business was recently.

Chen Zhiyi answered them one by one, and she also told Xie Fanghua that the Yu family seemed to have sent someone to arrest the person in the capital who told the story of Yu Guifei.

Hearing this, the smile on Xie Fanghua's face faded.

Yu Shangshu also intervened? Didn't he take care of the black market salt industry?

"Sister." Chen Zhiyi saw that Xie Fanghua's thoughts flew again, and raised his hand and shook it in front of her.

"Well," Xie Fanghua came back to his senses, "You don't have to worry about Concubine Yu's affairs, tell Murong and them to relax, I have my own plans in the palace." ”

Chatting and chatting, the little palace maid came to report that Queen Xia was here.

Queen Xia? Presumably it was also for the matter of Concubine Yu.

Queen Xia was dressed in a lilac phoenix pattern palace dress, Lingyun was tall, she was originally shorter than Xie Fanghua, but now she looks a little taller than Xie Fanghua.

After saluting and taking a seat, Queen Xia saw Chen Zhiyu and was a little surprised on her face, "This is...... Miss Chen Jiaer? ”

Chen Zhiyi smiled, "Hello Queen Mother!" ”

She greets her like this on weekdays, but I don't know if it's like this in the palace.

Queen Xia was stunned for a moment, then looked at Xie Fanghua with a light smile, praised Chen Zhiyi, and said: "Miss Chen has a lively temperament, Zhaoyi is quiet and elegant, and the Chen family really has two excellent girls." ”

"The queen has won the prize."

"Actually, this palace is here to find you today," Empress Xia didn't seem to feel embarrassed because Chen Zhiyi was here, "You also know about Concubine Yu's illness, she cried and cried to change the palace with His Majesty, but this palace felt that Yongqing Palace was one of the six palaces in the east and west, and it couldn't be changed, so she came to ask Zhaoyi's opinion." ”

Chen Zhiyi listened silently, she felt that Queen Xia looked very kind and capable, not to mention that she was a queen, she must have her own reason for speaking and doing things, it stands to reason that no one should say that she did something wrong or did something bad, why do you want to ask her sister's opinion now?

Chen Zhiyi thought about it again, maybe it was because of his sister's noble status, right?

But isn't there a princess Wang Shu in my sister Gaotou?

Chen Zhiyan thought about it again, Concubine Wang Shufei is now pregnant with a dragon, who dares to let her worry about these things?

"This kind of thing, isn't the queen the most masterful? I'm a Zhaoyi, and I can't take care of the affairs of the concubine. Xie Fanghua said with a smile.

"Then I won't move the palace." Empress Xia decided.

If she made an exception for Concubine Yu, her majesty in the harem would no longer exist in the future.

Moreover, she is at odds with Concubine Yu, even if she refuses to do it with her, what if she is against her?

Empress Xia just didn't want her brother to worry. She knew that there was the Yu family and Yu Shangshu behind Concubine Yu, but Empress Xia was different, she only had one brother, although her brother was still living in the capital, but Empress Xia guessed that the emperor would eventually transfer Xia Lingsheng back to his original place.

"It's good that the mother decides. Concubine Yu's side...... Have you been to see it? ”

"Go, she thought that the palace was going to laugh at her, and she was so excited that she coughed up blood," Queen Xia's tone was a little impatient, it was impatient with Concubine Yu, "It doesn't look like she is pretending to be like that, Your Majesty has been running to Yongqing Palace for the past few days." ”

In Empress Xia's memory, the emperor didn't seem to have been to Fengtai Palace much.

When Queen Xia came, Chen Zhiyi didn't even dare to eat the pastries on the table, let alone interject, so he endured not to speak, bowing his head and listening silently.

Later, Chen Zhiyi didn't listen to what Queen Xia said, and was pulled back to her thoughts by Xie Fanghua because Xie Fanghua asked her if she wanted to stay for lunch.

Chen Zhiyi was hungry, so he naturally nodded in agreement.

After lunch, Chen Zhiyi went back, and she had to report their safety to Brother Jin!

Yu Shangshu is also heartbroken, not only worried about his daughter, but also about the black market.

Yu Wu told him that the matter had been resolved, but the person sent by Yu Shangshu to secretly supervise him did not speak in a coherent manner, Yu Shangshu felt that there was a problem, but after looking for Yu Wu, no matter how he asked, he couldn't ask why.

The salt industry cannot be sold privately, just like silver mines, but now, Yu Shangshu has both of them.

Yu Wu was called by Yu Shangshu again today.

"Father." Yu Wu arched his hand.

"How's it going with what I've asked you to handle? What did you do with those people? Yu Shangshu sat on a chair, drinking tea, his tone sounding careless, but Yu Wu knew that he was extremely worried.

"Father, don't worry, I've already taken care of it. But my father, the eldest sister, heard that she was sick? ”

"You don't have to worry about this, she has someone to take care of in the palace," Yu Shangshu obviously didn't want Yu Wu to take care of Yu Guifei's affairs, "Wu'er, the matter of the black market is related to the survival of our Yu family, you are the future head of the Yu family, and my father hopes to start cultivating you from this matter." ”

Yu Shangshu knew that Yu Wu had been bullied by Concubine Yu and Yu Qing since he was a child, but he didn't know if Yu Wu had let go of the past in his heart.

How could you put it down......

Yu Wu can't let go of it in his life.

His mother was killed by the Yu family, and he was bullied since he was a child, and no one could let go.

Yu Wu still looked so calm, but this calm face was ruined by a scar, "Father, don't worry." ”
