Chapter 6 Each has its own scheming

"! Xianglin raised her head decisively and said, "The slave has an important matter to report to the mother!" ”

"Uh, what's the matter?" Su Mi smiled, and she asked softly.

"I'm afraid the child in Niangniang's womb was not lost because of too serious injuries, someone wanted to frame Niangniang!" Xianglin is categorical and shocking.

"What?" Su Mi exclaimed, and the teacup in her hand rolled to the ground.

Expecting the effect of his words, Xianglin looked around vigilantly, and whispered: "Please let the slave and maid carefully explain it, it is really more than ten days ago, that morning, the slave and maid happened to be ......" Xianglin finished describing his experience in detail word for word, and gritted his teeth and said: "The slave and maid really didn't know that it was going to harm Niangniang, but I vaguely heard a few words, and after waking up, I only thought it was a dream, and I originally wanted to come over and report it to Niangniang, but I thought that Niangniang had always had a deep sisterhood with Zheng Guifei, I'm afraid it's Xianglin's villain's heart, suspicious and suspicious, and how can the situation in the dream be taken seriously? So I didn't dare to say it. Now that I heard the news of my mother's miscarriage, I wondered what happened that day......"

"What you said is true?" Su Mi stood up suddenly, and her white and tender little feet kicked the jasper pedal over without realizing it, and then held her forehead with her hand, as if she was dizzy and almost fell, "How can this be?!" ”

"Whether it's true or not, Niangniang can know when the doctor comes back from examining those fetal pills." Xianglin saw that Su Mi didn't seem to blame herself, and hurriedly said.

As he was talking, he heard a commotion outside, and Mi Qing ran in with a scream, and said breathlessly: "Niangniang, Niangniang, it's not good, Musk!" Niangniang, several doctors from the Tai Hospital said that the medicine was ...... There is musk! ”

Musk?!

Xianglin couldn't help but feel a little strange, and then relieved, where is there any kind of red vine or something in the world, and it is not that musk flower red or something is used, fortunately, he made the right bet, and did not pin his hopes on the words of the palace maid of Xifu Palace that day.

Su Mi looked at her face and smiled secretly, the carrot vine is extremely precious and rare, this little girl will definitely not know, but I am afraid that even Zheng Guifei has never heard of it.

This Miqing has already explained the judgment of the imperial doctor in detail. Listening to Mi Qing's report, Su Mi's face was first shocked, then sad and silent, and Xianglin looked at her anxiously.

After a long time, Su Mi said gloomily: "On weekdays, everyone is harmonious between sisters, where did you think that there would be such a thing in secret, I have never liked to think about these things, and I always thought that there was no dispute with the world in the palace...... Now it'......" said as tears fell.

"Don't be sad, don't be sad, hurry up and enter the palace to invite the queen and the emperor to be the masters, such a big event ......" Mi Qing said with an idea on the side.

Su Mi wiped her tears and said, "Ni Guifei is so powerful, how can I be compared to a little concubine who has not been in the palace for a long time?" Or ......"

"Yes, it's better for the mother to think about it in the long run, the slave didn't understand it that day......" Xianglin said. Let her go against Ni Guifei, she is an old birthday star who hanged herself for a long time.

She just cared about clearing her name for participating in the poisoning of the emperor's heir, but now she has to worry about Ni Guifei's power, for fear that Su Mi will force her to testify and expose Ni Guifei. There is no evidence in this matter, it is all her words. As long as Ni Guifei denies it, no one can help her. And she didn't know how she died when she was involved in this matter?

"But Niangniang, when the slave maid went to ask, many doctors from the Tai Hospital were present, so now half of the people in the Tai Hospital know about it, and it can't be hidden, and Tai Doctor Liu has already brought the medicinal materials to the queen mother. Originally, the queen was ordered to take care of the mother's fetus, and she was specially handed over to the hospital, and everything related to the mother's fetal image must be returned in time. Mi Qing said on the side.

"Huh?!" Xianglin's face changed and she sat on the ground, and now she was dead.

"So far, I have to ...... I've gone to Fengyi Palace. Su Mi's eyes looked at Xianglin.

Xianglin's face is already dead.

When Qi Long hurried to Fengyi Palace, the entire Fengyi Palace was solemn.

Originally, now was the time to ask the queen for peace, in addition to dying under the assassin's knife, there were also those who had been injured and couldn't get up, most of the concubines had arrived, but there were still many empty seats, and the entire Fengyi Hall seemed to be much more cold and depressed than before.

On the top sat the queen, wearing a long red splendid dress embroidered with gold thread, wearing an amber phoenix crown, and a tortoiseshell flounder hairpin, her demeanor was still as dignified and noble as before, but her face was shocked and uncertain at this time.

On the left is Ni Guifei, she is wearing a homely light green sprinkled fine-grained pleated skirt, covered with a fox skin shoulder to shoulder vest, a few beaded flowers scattered with black hair, leaning on the gold goose feather cushion behind her, although her face is still relaxed, but from the fierce shaking of the pearl ears next to her ears, it can be detected that her body is trembling slightly, and her two plain hands are also unconsciously tightly twisting the Jinpa in her hand.

There was a palace girl kneeling below, and Liu Chengzheng from the Tai Hospital was standing with his hands down.

Seeing Qi Long coming in, all the concubines got up and saluted.

"Excuse me," Qi Long waved his hand impatiently, and from his hurried tone, he could tell that his mood was extremely irritable and eager: "What the hell is going on?" He asked the Queen.

"Your Majesty, please be the master of your concubines!" Su Mi was the first to come out of the ranks, sobbing in a low voice, and cried softly.

Seeing her bow down, Qi Long immediately reached out to help her up, "You are not in good health and injured, why did you come here?" What if you catch a cold? ”

"Concubine Su is not in good shape, so don't stick to these customs and etiquette first." The queen also said on the side.

"Your Majesty, this matter is related to the children of the concubines, and the concubines really can't help but care!" Su Mi exclaimed mournfully.

"I only hope that the emperor and the queen will deal with it impartially and give Su Mi justice." Su Mi solemnly bowed, and Qi Long hurriedly supported her.

"What the hell is going on? Hasn't the queen always commanded the harem and handled things strictly? How could this happen? Qi Long asked.

"Your Majesty, please let the concubine be clear, the concubine has just received the news, Imperial Doctor Liu from the Tai Hospital just came to report the matter, this girl is the ...... of Concubine Zheng of Caiwei Palace"

"That's not a shame. I already know, now I just want to know what happened. Qi Long shouted angrily to the queen, his face was very ugly.

When he was dealing with government affairs just now, the steward of the Tai Hospital hurriedly came in to report the incident, he was shocked, although there were often jealous and troublesome people in his harem, such as Ni Guifei had gone to Concubine Yun to make noise, but these were just ordinary women's jealousy, at most he just laughed it off. But now such a blatant poisoning of human life has happened, and the object of poisoning is still the emperor's heir, which makes him extremely angry when he is eagerly looking forward to having a son.

"This, the emperor, and the concubines are also inquiring." The queen bowed her head. Su Mi and his party had just arrived at Fengyi Palace, and before she had time to ask Xianglin and the others, Qi Long hurried over.

"Okay, I'll just watch here and see who is so bold as to dare to do such a vicious thing in my deep palace." Qi Long said hatefully, his voice revealed a cold chill, and all the concubines lowered their heads and did not dare to answer.

After Qi Long sat down, the queen looked at Xianglin, who was kneeling down and had shaken into a ball, and said: "Now that the emperor is here, the masters of all palaces and courtyards are also here, you carefully explain the origin of the matter from beginning to end, if there is a word of falsehood, this palace will definitely not forgive." ”

At this time, Ni Guifei also leaned down and smiled at her: "This matter is very important, you have to tell the truth, what you 'hear' and 'see', you must have evidence, reply according to the truth, and there can be no half a lie!" Otherwise, even if the queen mother is magnanimous, this palace hates this kind of 'conspiracy and framing' the most. I won't be able to tolerate you! ”

Xianglin's face was pale, and he almost fainted. She knew that her life was hanging by a thread at this time, so she mustered up the courage, and she didn't dare to raise her head, and carefully told what had happened.

Xianglin's trembling voice said that when she heard the conversation of the people in the room, as she narrated, Ni Guifei's expression became a little uncomfortable. Originally, she thought that her plan was foolproof, and the carrot vine was so precious and difficult to identify, even if she was sent to the hospital, she couldn't see any clues, but she didn't expect such a girl to spoil her.

Just when Xianglin was about to say the origin of the mysterious palace maid, Ni Guifei suddenly coughed in her throat, and naturally "hummed" softly. In the whispered discussion of the concubines, it was not abrupt and obvious in the whispers. But when it reaches the ears of those who have a heart, it is like a lightning strike.

Xianglin's voice trembled, paused, and finally did not say Xifu Palace, but replaced this paragraph with not hearing what it was.

Listening to this, Su Mi couldn't help but raise her eyebrows. Under Ni Guifei's long-term accumulation, this girl is not brave enough after all, but it doesn't matter, anyway, she doesn't expect to be able to bring down Ni Guifei with this, no matter how things develop next, it will be beneficial and harmless to herself. And most importantly......

"Imperial Doctor Liu," Hearing Xianglin finish talking about the matter, the queen turned to Liu Cheng and said, "You also tell me about today's events carefully." ”

"Wechen obeys," Imperial Doctor Liu immediately stepped forward to report: "This morning, Wechen was discussing the affairs of the new medicinal materials with several colleagues, and the young girl in Su Concubine's palace came to find Wechen, saying that it was the fetal medicine that Zheng Gui Niangniang gave to Su Concubine Niangniang before, because Su Niangniang is no longer used, and the medicine is expensive and not easy to discard, so I want to transfer it to Liu Cairen, take it and ask Wechen to see if there are any insects, dampness, etc., but when I opened it to check, Wechen smelled a fragrance, Judging from the shallow experience of Wei Chen, it seems to be musk. Although musk is precious, certain medicinal materials can also be used to treat diseases, it has the effect of opening the body and awakening the mind, invigorating blood and dispersing knots, but pregnant women must not take it, once taken to a certain amount, it will inevitably lead to induced labor and fetus. Therefore, it is absolutely forbidden to appear in the fetal medicine used by pregnant women. Wechen was afraid that he would make a mistake in judgment and wronged someone, so he specially asked his colleagues to help check it, and it was indeed Musk, which was undoubtedly ......"

When Ni Guifei heard the imperial doctor say musk, her expression couldn't help but show a trace of doubt, the expression on her face changed irrepressibly several times, she lowered her head to cover it up, but she quickly thought in her heart, how could she become musk when she obviously used carrot vines? Seeing that the medicinal materials are indeed the package sent by himself, who added ingredients to it? Could it be Zheng Guifei?

But these can be checked later, now is not the time to think about this, since it has become a musk...... She thought about it for a while, her eyes suddenly lit up, and then a smile flashed on her face, she looked up at Concubine Yun, and smiled viciously.

Seeing that none of the people around her had their eyes falling on her, Ni Guifei leaned back slightly, signaled to Xia Zhen behind her, and then bowed slightly to Concubine Yun, seeing Ni Guifei's eyes, Xia Zhen suddenly realized, but the look on his face did not change at all, he secretly glanced around, and turned around and went out without anyone noticing.

Ni Guifei lifted the teacup and took a sip gently, the eyes of all the concubines were focused on Imperial Doctor Liu's body, and no one noticed this little episode.

Only Su Mi had a full view of all these actions, she staggered her eyes, lowered her head, and couldn't help but sigh secretly, Ni Guifei is so dexterous, but this time, her eyes fell on Concubine Yun, I was afraid that she would be in a catastrophe.

At this time, Imperial Physician Liu had already finished narrating what had happened, and bowed and retreated.

The queen asked again: "Imperial Doctor Liu, I don't know what symptoms will occur after taking this pack of fetal pills?" How many times will it cause a miscarriage? ”

When this sentence came into his ears, Su Mi became nervous.

Doctor Liu pondered for a while and replied: "Judging from the ingredients of this fetal pill and the amount of musk in it, if you only take it two or three times, it will not be a big problem, but it will have the effect of stabilizing the fetal image, if it is more, I am afraid it will be dangerous." He turned his head to Su Mi and said, "I'm afraid that Su Concubine Niangniang will take it about three or four times, right?" ”

"Ahh Su Mi covered her mouth lightly and lamented: "The concubine originally took it twice, and the effect was very good, this time after waking up from the coma, the next person was afraid that the imperial heir would be in the way, so he hurriedly prepared a double fetal pill for the concubine to take as soon as possible, who knows that it will ......not be long before she drinks it."

"Uh-huh......" The queen's mind kept spinning thoughts, she looked at Su Mi, who was supposibly bowing her head and weeping. Could it be that the abnormality of her fetal image is due to this? It's possible......

Qi Long's face was cloudy at this time.

Zheng Guifei's poisoning of the Dragonborn seems to be a fait accompli, and a dead man can't argue with himself anyway. But now the key question is: who is behind her?

The palace concubines couldn't help but talk about it, and their voices became higher and higher.

"Your Majesty, the concubines are a little humble and don't know whether to talk about it or not." Ni Guifei broke the deadlock with her words and looked at Qi Longdao.

"Ye Lin has any opinions, tell me about it." Qi Long said.

"According to the concubines, this matter is really serious and vicious, think about the harem of this dynasty has always been harmonious with the six palaces, and the sisterhood is deep, where would you think that such a vicious thing would be done in private." Ni Yelin said with a hateful expression: "According to the concubine, since the murderer used musk, it is better to start here." Who gave the medicine, just search the palaces and courtyards, where there is musk. ”

Qi Long nodded.

The palace concubines below were in an uproar, musk, as a precious spice, has a pleasant aroma, and naturally many palace concubines like to use it. Immediately, some palace concubines wanted to rise up and oppose it.

When Ni Guifei saw it, she immediately added: "Your Majesty, according to the humble opinion of the concubines, those who can instruct Zheng Guifei to move must not be low-level concubines, at least they are above the concubine position, so they can instruct Zheng Guifei, who is the lord of the first palace, it is better to search within this range." ”

The concubines below were relieved.

"Why bother? There is a fixed number of spices and utensils in the palace, and the Internal Affairs Office must keep a special record, as long as He Yuwang is called, it will be clear if he asks? "Queen's Road.

"The queen's words are wrong, if she wants to do such a vicious thing, how can she leave evidence, of course, she is trying to find no record." Ni Guifei retorted. "According to the concubine, it is really better to call He Yuwang together, check them one by one against the records of the Internal Affairs Office."

What else does the queen have to say. Qi Long had already said: "That's it, now that the palace concubines of all the courtyards are here, let's start searching from now on." I will never allow this kind of thing to run rampant in the harem. ”

Immediately ordered Gao Shengnuo to take a group of little eunuchs to go, and at the same time sent He Yuwang over. Gao Shengnuo was about to take his order.

"Wait!" Ni Guifei suddenly interjected, she got up and saluted Qi Long and said solemnly: "The concubine also has a reluctant request, since the search of the palace is the idea of the concubine, the concubine wants to ask the emperor to order the search of the concubine's Xifu Palace first, in order to show fairness and strictness." These words were loud and generous.

Seeing that she was so resolute, the concubines admired her in their hearts, and they originally complained, but they didn't have to say anything at this time.

Qi Long thought for a while and said, "It's okay, it's rare that Ye Lin has this fair and selfless heart, so let's start with Xifu Palace." ”

Gao Shengnuo took the order and left.

Su Mi couldn't help but applaud, Ni Yelin's meticulous thoughts, this righteous and stern words, high-sounding, not only made the emperor think that she was knowledgeable and selfless, but the concubines saw her leading by example, and they would no longer have any grudge against her proposal to search the palace. And I don't know if such a move will buy enough time for her subordinates to arrange the layout in Concubine Yun's Lotus Palace. Anyway, a good reputation is earned by ironclad first.
