There are imperial dining rooms in the palace, and Ruian Palace, Qingqiu Palace and Jiaofang Palace all have internal dining rooms, and you can cook some food privately on weekdays.

The little eunuch responded, immediately took it to the inner dining room, handed it to the cook, directly cleaned it up and simmered it in a small casserole, it took more than an hour to stew well, tasted it himself, made sure it was safe, served it in a white porcelain cup, and served it carefully.

Concubine Ling opened the lid of the cup, the soup was milky white, dotted with red wolfberries, verdant coriander, fresh and fragrant, it was really unusual. She raised her eyebrows indifferently: "Have you tasted it?" ”

The little eunuch responded: "The imperial chef has tasted it himself, and he has also tried it with a silver needle." ”

Concubine Ling nodded with satisfaction, scooped two mouthfuls of soup with a spoon, the entrance was fragrant, not greasy or fishy, so she drank two more sips.

There is meat at the bottom of the cup, Concubine Ling wants the soup to be so rich, and the meat must be excellent, better than the crispy pigeon that hangs? Scoop a bite and put it in your mouth, the entrance is extremely tough, and the umami is all in the soup, eating meat is like chewing wax, and there is a little fishy smell.

She felt tired of it for no reason, put down the soup cup, felt a burst of overturning in her stomach, and spit out "wow" when she turned her head.

The palace people who were waiting in front of them were all shocked, and they came over and asked nervously, "What's wrong with Niangniang?" ”

Concubine Ling barely stopped vomiting, and finally got her breath, and scolded the palace people with her head and face: "Why don't you hurry up and ask the imperial doctor, are your brains dead?" It must be that this thing is inedible and poisonous. ”

Her words made the little girl who had been drinking stewed soup instantly dissipated, and she was almost so frightened that she lost half her life, and her legs and feet were weak.

The palace man turned his head and scolded her: "What are you still doing in a daze, hurry up and call someone to ask for a doctor." ”

This is to deliberately support her, so as not to make Concubine Ling angry and suffer another crime. The little palace maid came back to her senses at this time and ran away.

This kind of errand is done by the little eunuch, and when he heard that Concubine Ling was poisoned, his complexion changed instantly, and he ran out of the Jiaofang Palace, said to the guards, and ran to the Tai Hospital.

The others were not idle, and immediately rushed to the Ryan Palace to report the news.

Mo Guhan was talking to the Queen Mother in the Ruian Palace, and the little eunuch went in in a panic, and immediately startled the Queen Mother and was shocked.

"How can you be poisoned? Who's the killer? ”

Mo Guhan still sat upright, and turned the teacup in his hand without changing his face, as steady as Mount Tai: "This concubine and queen mother should not continue to connive, and take care of it. ”

Concubine Ling has often made trouble these days, and the Queen Mother heard Mo Guhan say it, and she also hated her a little, and sat down again in despair: "Alas, how well-behaved Ling'er was before, the emperor has been snubbing her, and there is resentment in her heart, if you have to be free, you can also take a look at her." ”

Mo Guhan snorted coldly: "I'll talk about it when she really confesses her guilt one day." ”

The little eunuch lowered his head tightly and was cautious: "Empress Dowager Qi, I'm afraid it's true this time, Concubine Ling Niangniang has just started to vomit." ”

The little eunuch explained like this, and the Queen Mother couldn't bear it either, and she was suspicious: "Your Majesty, Ling'er has been locked up in the Jiaofang Palace all these days, and she also knows that she is wrong, and she has restrained a lot on weekdays." Even if you are worried about the past, you should go and see her. There has been restlessness in this palace, and it is not certain that you will eat something bad. ”

Mo Guhan threw aside the teacup in his hand and got up impatiently: "The queen mother is going to go by herself, the child still has government affairs to do, so go back first." ”

"Your Majesty!" The Queen Mother pulled his sleeve: "Ling'er is poisoned, are you so ruthless?" Don't look at the relationship between husband and wife, don't look at the love of your cousins, even if you go to inquire about the reason, you should give justice to the host, right? ”

Mo Guhan sighed helplessly: "The queen mother is the master of a palace, and the affairs in this harem will be left to the queen mother." ”

The Queen Mother angrily tugged at his sleeve and didn't let go: "Just take it as if you were going with your mother, can't you?" ”

The Queen Mother was unrelenting, Mo Guhan couldn't get out for a while, and he was helpless, and he was very reluctant to perfunctory: "Okay!" I accompanied the queen mother. ”

The Queen Mother smiled instantly, and quietly gave a look to the little eunuch, asking him to go back to pass the message, and he and Mo Guhan then went to the Jiaofang Palace.

The Jiaofang Palace was very close to the Queen Mother's Ruian Palace, and the two entered the Jiaofang Palace, but the imperial doctor had not yet arrived.

Concubine Ling was lying on the bed, her face was so white with horror that she cried when she saw the Queen Mother, and her tears fell like rain.

When the Queen Mother saw it, she knew that she was not pretending, her heart sank, and she took two steps forward and hugged her in her arms: "My son, what's wrong?" What did you eat? ”

Concubine Ling saw Mo Guhan behind the Queen Mother, her face was full of indifference, indifferent, and even more aggrieved, sobbing nonstop.

The old palace maid didn't dare to hide it, so she carefully considered it and replied: "Empress Dowager Qi, today we caught a bird in the yard, it looks quite fat, so I ordered the small kitchen to stew soup and drink, and after the mother drank it, she vomited all over the ground." ”

"What?" The Queen Mother angrily pointed at the palace people in the palace, and raised her eyebrows: "What kind of food is there in the palace?" What you want to eat, the Ministry of Internal Affairs buys it. You actually let the mother eat those things of unknown origin, if she really has three long and two short, you ten heads are not enough to cut off! ”

The queen mother was angry, so frightened that the palace people weakened their knees, prostrate on the ground, and begged for mercy.

The Queen Mother turned around and asked anxiously, "How do you feel now?" Does your stomach hurt? Ever felt lightheaded? Are there any other symptoms? ”

Concubine Ling shook her head: "I just feel disgusting and want to vomit." ”

The Queen Mother breathed a sigh of relief, distressed and annoyed, and couldn't help but accuse: "In addition to the dragon liver and phoenix marrow, you said that you are the imperial concubine, what kind of food have you not eaten?" How can you covet these rough things? ”

Concubine Ling also felt aggrieved, and sobbed: "They all said that it was a pigeon, and the stewed soup was extremely delicious, but Ling'er somehow, on a whim, stewed it." ”

"A bunch of idiots!" Mo Guhan also snorted coldly: "Is it that there are so many of you who can't tell the difference?" ”

There are bold ones among the minions, and it is the little eunuch who feels sorry for Shicai, thinking that he will be condemned left and right, so it is better to argue two sentences, and argue in a low voice: "It looks like it is really a pigeon, with red eyes and gray feathers, and emerald unicorn spots, look at the head shape, nose shape, and keel, all of which are particularly aura and extraordinary." ”

Mo Guhan glanced down at the little eunuch, nonchalantly: "Do you look at pigeons?" ”

The little eunuch trembled and said, "I've always been good at this thing, but I've never seen such a good pigeon, and it looks very much like the legendary Qilin King." It's just that the minions don't know enough and don't dare to be sure. ”

"The Kirin King?" Mo Guhan's eyes suddenly tightened: "How can there be such a thing in the palace?" What about the feathers? ”

The little eunuch was clever, got up and went straight to the inner dining room, turned out a few tail feathers with emerald unicorn spots from the sundries bucket, washed them, ran back, and presented them to Mo Guhan.

Mo Guhan only glanced at it, and his face turned grim.

It is indeed the hard-to-find unicorn king!

"It's just that the palace people trained it to pass on messages for fornication." Concubine Ling saw that Mo Guhan had been caring about a pigeon, and she didn't care about herself, so she didn't feel good in her heart, and whispered.

"Messengers? What message? ”

Concubine Ling raised her chin: "The pigeon has a bamboo pipe tied to its leg, and there is a note hidden in it, which is for a tryst at night." ”

Mo Guhan suddenly burst out with a terrifying chill: "Where?!" ”

Immediately, a palace person stepped forward, flipped through the bamboo pipes and notes discarded by Concubine Ling on the side, and handed them over with both hands.

Mo Guhan opened it and looked at it, his face changed again, and he snorted coldly: "Tryst? Who told you it was for a tryst?! ”

His sudden change in mood startled Concubine Ling, and he put his head into the arms of the Queen Mother, trembling.

"This ...... Is this clearly the time of the appointment? ”

"Do you know how rare the carrier pigeon is the King of the Kirin? At the beginning, Chu Mubai searched for Chang'an, wanted to train a few such carrier pigeons, used them to deliver news, and used a lot of manpower and material resources, but only found two. Do you think someone will use it to send private messages? Concubine Ling, Concubine Ling, you are simply not enough to succeed and more than you can lose, and you even stew it and drink soup without saying anything? ”

Mo Guhan gritted his teeth, his face was indignant, and Concubine Ling trembled with fright, and forcibly defended himself: "I, I don't know, what's more, some time ago, for Zhou Yuan's fornication, the emperor, you misunderstood Ling'er, and blamed me involuntarily, where do I dare to report it again and provoke myself to be right and wrong?" ”

"You!"

The Queen Mother saw that Mo Guhan was really angry, and hurriedly comforted: "If you eat it, you will eat it, isn't it just a pigeon?" Go back and look for it. ”

Mo Guhan flicked the sleeve of his robe fiercely: "Queen Mother!" Where is this a pigeon thing? This matter is clearly that someone in the palace has fornicated outside the palace. And just because this pigeon cherishes the preciousness so much, the forces behind it should definitely not be underestimated. If the pigeon is still there, I can use it to track it down and find out who it is. Inside and outside the palace, they are all in the palace. But now, it's a failure! ”

Only then did the Queen Mother know what Mo Guhan meant: "It's not strange for those who don't know, what's more, if it weren't for Ling'er, we wouldn't know that there were people in the palace who fornicated outside, didn't we?" In this way, the merits and demerits are offset, and the emperor will no longer blame Ling'er. ”

After saying that, he was worried that Mo Guhan would not give up, and hurriedly urged the palace people around him: "What about the imperial doctor?" Why hasn't it come yet? ”

The imperial doctor had already arrived at the Jiaofang Palace, and when he heard that Mo Guhan was furious in the dormitory, he didn't dare to show up. When the queen mother asked, the palace people went out to inquire about the situation, so they pretended to hurry over.

Regardless of the rules, the imperial doctor stepped forward, knelt on the couch, and asked for Concubine Ling's pulse. At first, the eyebrows were furrowed, but then they gradually widened, and a happy color jumped on their faces.

"Doctor, what's going on?" The Queen Mother asked with concern.

The imperial doctor got up, took three steps back, knelt on the ground again, and replied: "Empress Dowager, Your Majesty, Concubine Ling is safe and sound, but it was just a false alarm." ”

When Mo Guhan heard this, his face was as expected, he snorted coldly, turned around and was about to leave.

"Then how did she vomit so much?" The Queen Mother couldn't wait to ask.
