"I have tasted ......medicine for the Queen Mother," Pillow Chun's expression narrowed slightly, "How can the Queen Mother linger on the bed with a little wind and cold, and the symptoms are so recurrent." She coughed lightly, "I had my doubts, but I couldn't tell what was wrong. If I accidentally ate other people's things, I only tasted a mouthful of hot and cold every day when the Queen Mother took medicine......"

Gao Le suddenly said: "So it is very likely. The queen mother's imperial medicine who will eat it by mistake, the amount of poison is extremely low, if other concubines eat it by mistake, it will not be harmful. Our little master's body, especially Yang Deficiency, will get this result. ”

They looked at each other for a few days, knowing the seriousness of this matter. If someone wants to poison the Queen Mother...... Those who know are afraid that they will not be able to get out of it. Pillow Chun patted the side of the couch weakly, and called Xiao Xizi: "You have left the lock these few nights, go to the outside of Fengyi Palace to take a look, but there is any scum and sewage splashing out...... Don't be found. ”

Xiao Xizi understood in his heart and nodded: "Don't worry, little master, the slave will definitely handle it carefully." ”

Pillow Chun slept on the couch for two days, and his spirit eased up, and he took two pairs of Gao Le's medicines to go down, which was considered a great peace. This day as usual in the name of "wind cold" spread Gao Le, and when he sat down outside the tent, Pillow Spring called Xiao Xizi out.

Xiao Xizi walked out from behind the screen, groped out a package of pickled things wrapped in three layers of oiled paper from the cuffs, and after opening it, it was sticky and greasy, and there was a sour smell.

Pillow spring can't help but cover your nose.

Xiao Xizi's face did not change, and he put a brand new handkerchief on the mat and presented it to Gao Le: "Imperial Doctor Gao, this is the dregs poured out by the palace ladies in Fengyi Palace at night. The Queen Mother's palace patrolled closely, and I spent two hours in the bushes behind the palace to get it. This was not achieved in the open, and he was afraid that people would see it, so he took it in his arms and brought it back...... You see, but it's broken? ”

Gao Le frowned and shook his head, found a silver needle from the medical bag, and repeatedly provoked the medicine residue that looked very filthy: "Recently, the weather has turned cold, and the eaves have frosted, and it stands to reason that the medicine residue will not stink after covering it for a while." He thought for a moment, drew out the silver needle, and saw a dull blue light on the needle.

"But poison?" Pillow Spring's heart was beating hard.

Gao Le twisted out a trace of medicinal residue, put it under his nose and sniffed it, and looked at the light repeatedly: "It doesn't look like a poisonous ......."

Pillow Chun's heart was relieved, but he felt a little more relaxed: "Or my own body is not angry, and I vomit blood when I am sick." When I served the Queen Mother a few days ago, I saw that she should still be in good spirits, and I took a bowl of tube bone soup every day to replenish my body. If someone is unfavorable to the Queen Mother, she is now in a dying state. ”

"Barrel bones?" Gao Le was stunned when he heard this, "The little master also eats?" ”

"This ......" Pillow Chun unexpectedly asked like this, a little puzzled, "I have used it, I heard that it was the Jiangnan Imperial Kitchen that the imperial concubine Niangniang specially pointed to in the kitchen of Fengyi Palace, and used the best broth of tubular bone ribs and pork ribs." I served all day in Fengyi Palace, and I used the soup there for three days. ”

"Look." Gao Le took out a dark piece of medicine residue from the medicine residue and unfolded it carefully, "This is the lily that has been used in medicine." Lily is used as medicine to treat deficiency, cold, palpitations, etc., and it is also symptomatic for the Queen Mother's illness. It's just that in this side of medicine, the smell of lily is used more than usual, and it seems to be ......" his fingers spread the veins of the flower, "and it seems to be a lily that is not so stale and dry, and it is easy to be slightly poisonous." This bone and lily are the food of each other. Although it is a three-point poison, it doesn't matter once or twice. However, if it is used every day, people with wind and cold are easy to scorch the bones of the barrel, and the diet is not eliminated, and the lily is taken every day, it will accumulate poison into the bones, and it is easy to suffer abdominal pain and discomfort, or vomit and malaise, or even die. This kind of eating method is the most tricky, and it is difficult to detect the pulse, and if the disease occurs, it is only thought that it is the cause of poor diet during the disease. ”

“…… Doctor Gao. Zhuchun held the curtain in front of the couch with his hand, and his eyes looked straight out, "Do you know who is treating the Queen Mother's illness?" ”

Gao Le arched his hand and said: "The court judge who has been announced in the past." This time, I heard that the Queen Mother had been asleep for a few days and had no spirit to call the hospital in person, and it was the imperial doctor recommended by the imperial concubine. ”

“…… Imperial Concubine...... Imperial Concubine. Pillow Chun muttered, only feeling that she couldn't do such a heinous and sinful thing. She swore to fight with the Da Xue clan in the past, but now that she thinks about it, it is not as good as it at all! She thought about it again, only tightly tugged on the bead curtain by the curtain, and asked Su Bai, "Who is serving the sick right now?" ”

Su Bai's face changed slightly, and he replied: "It's Xi Jieyu......"

"Sister Liu...... "Pillow Chun was busy, "not good." Fast...... Kiko Koko, go ......"

Gao Le said happily: "The little master doesn't have to worry too much. This method is really obscure, it will accumulate poison to the bones, and it will not become a climate ...... in a year and a half."

"Little Lord!" Before Gao Le's words fell, he saw Yulan stumbling in, "Little master! Oh no, the Queen Mother-"

With a "bang", the bead curtains on Pillow Chun's hands were scattered all over the ground, and the glass fell on the cold floor tiles with a crisp sound.

Yulan didn't have time to think about it, so she hurriedly replied: "Somehow, Xi Jieyu has served the Queen Mother for a few days, and the Queen Mother's health has deteriorated. At noon, Xi Jieyu had just served the Empress Dowager with medicinal food, and the Empress Dowager was in pain and vomited the decoction again. Aunt Su Nian of Fengyi Palace hurriedly went to ask the imperial doctor, but before the imperial doctor entered the inner palace gate, the queen mother vomited blood all over her body and died of exhaustion! ”

"What about Your Majesty?!" Pillow Chun struggled to stand up.

Yulan's forehead was wet, and it was greasy cold sweat that stuck the broken hair on her skin, and she said hurriedly: "Your Majesty has rushed over from Qianxi Palace, and I heard that Long Yan was furious and ...... Will...... Xi Jieyu stripped her title and degraded her as a nobleman, saying that she was going to be detained pending verification, and she was reissued! ”

Pillow Chun's heart was in turmoil, thinking that Liu Anran loved the Son of Heaven and was deeply righteous, wouldn't it be a bolt from the blue to suffer this disaster today, how could she stand it. He hurriedly smashed his shoes, only removed all the Zhu Hai Cuibao on his head, and asked Su Bai to find a plain white cloak: "Quick, pass on the ...... No, no, no, walk to Fengyi Palace. ”

Su Bai's face was full of worry, and he persuaded: "The little lord is still in good health, and now His Majesty is still in anger and mourning, no matter who is the initiator of this matter, in front of Xi...... The Empress Dowager passed away in front of Liu Guiren, and she decided that she couldn't get rid of it! The little lord must protect himself at this moment, so that he can save Liu Guiren from prison! ”

Pillow Chun looked at the heavy and gloomy sky outside, and tightened his skirt: "Your Majesty used to be angry with Liu Meiren, but now the grave grass is afraid to be one zhang high!" If I don't go at this moment, goodbye Sister Liu, will she still have all the beards and tails? ”

Su Bai knelt down at the door with a puff and said earnestly: "Little master, you can think about it carefully, Her Majesty the Queen Mother's maiden family has long been afraid, and she is not a blood relative, so she will not follow in the footsteps of Liu Meiren." Moreover...... Behind the Liu nobles, there is also the Annan Metropolitan Protectorate. In a few days, it will snow in winter, and there will always be disturbances every year outside the northern border of Xinjiang closed by heavy snowfall, especially at this time, the tranquility and peace of southern Xinjiang are the most important. He also said, "There is always a chance to deprive him of his title and depose him and detain him if he has not been sent to the cold palace of another courtyard!" ”

"......" Zhuchun tugged at the hand of the dress, his knuckles were pinched white, and he only scolded Mu Beiyi secretly for two sentences, and then turned his head: "Xiao Xizi, go and pass the word to Weiyang Hall for me, and find a precious concubine ......"

The death of Empress Dowager Zhuang Yi came too suddenly.

Mu Bei Yi was still looking at the tall Shuchen in Qianxi Palace, and saw Feng Tang coming in with a mournful tone. Feng Tang's voice swirled between the tall golden painting beams of Qianxi Palace: "Your Majesty...... The Queen Mother is gone—"

Mu Beiyi turned his head when he heard the sound, and saw a foot of sunlight coming in through the window, and his pupils quickly closed.

The woman who put him on the throne and tried to control him is dead.

Empress Dowager Zhuang Yi's method, he has always known. In the second year of Qi Wu, he also knew about Concubine Mi and Zhaoyi Yang who were sent to the palace. Although Yang Zhaoyi was beautiful but cowardly, she died of pregnancy with purple lips. The physician went to cover her eyes, but she refused to look at them.

He actually likes Concubine Shi's temperament, he likes more aggressive women, just like he likes fierce horses. Concubine Mi is also beautiful, with a kind of spicy beauty, like a clear wine, sweet and happy.

Concubine Mo is not as smart as Shi, she looks at Lingguang, but she is too young. Four points of the favor given to the Mo family are for the filial piety of the Empress Dowager Zhuang Yi. If he is said to be the Son of Heaven, he is unwilling to admit it for the sake of power.

The lord of Fufeng is not as beautiful as Shi's family, nor as good as Concubine Yan who can invite pets, and even his appearance is not as good as Zhaoyi, who died after half a year in the palace. But it seems that it is just right, the Lord of Fufeng is not smart, and her pure and rigid temperament is so different from that of the Empress Dowager Zhuang Yi.

On the first night of the favor, in the red curtain of the mandarin ducks and the neck, the white fingertips of the lord of Fufeng gently stroked the pearl on Mu Beiyi's crown, and said earnestly: "Cousin, I am a stupid and reckless person, I know it myself. My aunt asked me to enter the palace because she wanted me to be the queen, and I knew that. She raised her head, raised her heroic eyebrows, and smiled refreshingly at Mu Beiyi, "But cousin doesn't have to be embarrassed." After that, I will do whatever my cousin tells me to do. Because I like my cousin more than the Wen family and my aunt more than my aunt. ”

The Empress Dowager Zhuang Yi sent four people into the palace, and in this bloody imperial city, three of them died from their children. The only Fufeng County Lord who stayed behind was no longer the Empress Dowager Zhuang Yi's person.

Empress Dowager Zhuang Yi didn't know.

Mu Beiyi let go of the book in his hand, stood up, and slowly removed the wrench on his hand and the jade on his waist.

Feng Tang saw the gloomy look between the eyebrows of the Son of Heaven, bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, don't be too sad, you are the foundation of the country." ”

Mu Beiyi glanced at Feng Tang and turned around again. He retreated from the crimson exterior of the court, the corners of his mouth pulled at an unfathomable angle, and asked coldly, "I look very sad?" ”

"My lord......" Feng Tang clasped his hands and bent his knees, eager to kneel under the hem of Mu Beiyi's clothes, "The duty of a slave is to serve you and serve you." You are kind to your minions, and your minions are brave enough to comfort you. It is said that you value affection, righteousness and filial piety, you ...... Gotta be sad. ”

Mu Beiyi was impatient, he looked at the oily jade seal on the table with a little gloom, changed his expression, and asked as if reading from the book: "Why is it gone?" Although the Queen Mother often has minor illnesses, she is not very old. ”

"The slave heard that Aunt Su Nian said that Xi Jieyu served in front of the couch, so she served the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother felt unwell after using the medicinal diet, and she couldn't do it without saying a few words. Feng Tang pondered a little and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty should be sad and angry at this time, and it should be over." ”

"Then Xi Jieyu will be detained, and she will be deprived of her title and demoted to a nobleman." Mu Beiyi took off the last golden pendant on his waist, "The people from the Zongzheng Temple come over and clarify the reason for the time being." As for the rest, the Ministry of Rites issued a book. Saying that, he remembered something again, "The whole country wears filial piety, compared with the rules of the previous dynasty." Nothing more, no less. ”

Feng Tang has been serving Mu Beiyi for many years, and he knows in his heart that the Son of Heaven is neither sad nor angry. I only knew that Xijieyu was unlucky, and when the Queen Mother was in front of her, she suffered this catastrophe, and when she heard that it was "temporarily detained", it was already a kindness to stay alive.

Xue Zongzheng, the head of Zongzheng Temple, was on the fold three days later, and the Empress Dowager Zhuang Yi was ill with poor diet, which caused the wind and cold to heal and died. This fold is almost equivalent to convicting Liu Anran of ineffective service.

On the day of the winter solstice, it was still snowing, and the ceremonial guard of the coffin of Fengyi Palace stretched out of the palace gate, and the palace road was a mile away from the main gate, and it was full of palace ladies and attendants who were crying and filial piety in plain clothes.

Mu Beiyi Daisu was silent and serious for seven days, caressing in front of the white flowers of the varnish coffin.

There was no trace of decoration on the main bun of Fufeng County, only wearing a white jacket and long skirt, lying on the coffin board and calling "aunt". Da Xue held a bowl of ginger tea, and said with compassion and comfort: "Your Majesty should also rest, the concubine boiled ginger tea to warm her body?" He also helped up the Fufeng County Lord, "Concubine Rong is sad and cherishes herself, the Queen Mother is your aunt, and her old man is not sad to see you like this in the spirit of the sky?" ”

The county lord of Fufeng wiped his tears, and felt even more sad.

The entire Fengyi Palace was immersed in a solemn and gloomy atmosphere, and the dark clouds in the sky avoided the daylight, illuminating everyone's faces pale.

The Da Xue clan first took care of the concubines, and then sympathized with the palace people, and then came to comfort the Son of Heaven. Mu Beiyi looked at the white money in front of the palace and the flying snow flotsam, and suddenly asked: "Imperial concubine, do you say that the end of this year is still a good year?" Is the snow in front of you still considered Ruixue? ”

Da Xue's heart jumped, and he endured the turbulence in his heart, took a bead-embroidered bamboo crab shell green rice from Gong E's hand, and put it on for Mu Beiyi: "Your Majesty can rest assured, the treasury is full, and the world is peaceful." ”

Mu Beiyi said: "It's snowing, and there is no harvest outside the gate." The nomadic Yi people outside had nothing to eat, so they could only kill people and ride horses, so they often disturbed the border. There is no harvest in the north in winter, and if you want to guard the pass, you must always transfer grain and money from the south to turn over. His voice was rarely gentle, "The previous excerpts were all the humerus ministers of the Xue clan in the household department and the military department who took the lead in asking for orders...... It seems that no one has spoken. ”

"Concubine ......" Da Xue's face was a dripping virtuous smile, "The concubine doesn't understand political affairs." ”

"The Liu clan is very important." Mu Beiyi sighed.

Da Xue's Seven Exquisite Hearts suddenly turned countless thoughts, and he tried his best to pull out a smile: "Liu Guiren is still detained." To say that Liu Guiren is very respectful on weekdays, and he speaks and does things in a good manner...... After all, the Liu family is a first-class family in the south. This time, in the illness of the Queen Mother, Liu Guiren's poor service led to the death of the Queen Mother, although the sin was serious, but it was not a crime that could not be punished. The concubine felt ......" Da Xue gently stroked the snowflakes on Mu Beiyi's shoulders, just like the young couple when they first entered the East Palace: "It is grace to stay alive." If you want to come to the Annam Metropolitan Protectorate, you will also be grateful for Your Majesty's kindness. After all, although southern Xinjiang is the capital of the Protectorate, it is first and foremost His Majesty's. As for the north side of the Saiwai, the Xue family is willing to do their best for His Majesty. ”

Mu Beiyi's expression was very complicated, and his narrow eyes swept over the face of the Great Xue Clan: "So, the Xue Clan can still help the North?" ”

Wonderful!
