Chapter 36: The Truth
"Imperial Doctor Zhang took a look at this, "The flowers that were replaced yesterday were directly thrown aside, and the red is not a ruthless thing, and it is also good to be used as nourishment."
Hearing this, Imperial Physician Zhang hurriedly took it, and almost instantly, his face changed, and he checked again, "Back to the emperor, this is it." ”
Zong Zhengjin had already affirmed from his face, "Then why is there nothing wrong with me?" ”
"Has the emperor touched this petal with his hand?"
Zong Zhengjin shook her head, yesterday she had a whim to say that she wanted to paint hibiscus, so she moved the basin on the windowsill, she seemed to touch it, and said "It's very fragrant".
Every day, the flowers in Zichen Hall are sent from the Imperial Garden, could it be that the person expected Su Jingxi to touch this flower?
"Let's go down."
There was only one Zong Zhengjin left in the main hall, sitting on the dragon chair, closing his eyes and pondering, his index finger tapped the dragon case, and a rhythmic voice sounded, "You go to check, I want to know who that person is." ”
Who dared to even count him?
Kunning Palace
"Niangniang, Concubine Zhen has disposed of a palace maid and sent someone to talk back to you," Huizhu walked in and whispered to the person lying on the couch.
The queen frowned and got up from the couch, "Do you know what happened to Zuiyunwu?" ”
"Back to Niangniang, I only know that the little Fuzi of Zuiyunwu went to ask for a doctor, and then went again, but then the emperor directly sent Su Shun to invite the doctor Zhang and the two deputy judges, the situation should be very serious, the emperor stayed for more than an hour before leaving, and after returning to the Zichen Palace, he called the imperial doctor."
"But what's wrong with the emperor?" The queen stood up and hurriedly said when she heard the words.
Huizhu shook his head, "The slave doesn't know, we don't have eyeliner in Zichen Hall and Zuiyunwu, and the people sent don't dare to be too blatant." ”
The queen thought about the matter again, but she didn't figure it out in several places, "Go to Zichen Hall with the main palace." ”
"Niangniang, I'm afraid that the emperor may be angry at this time......"
"This palace heard that the emperor has invited a doctor, and he is worried about the emperor's dragon body, why not go and take a look?" If there is something you don't understand, you may be able to see it yourself.
Zichen Palace
"I am tired of Gonggong Su's rumor, this palace has something to ask to see the emperor."
Su Shun made a casual salute and raised the dust, "I hope that the queen will forgive her sins, the emperor has already made a will, no one will come today, please go back to the queen." ”
The queen's face stiffened, and she was very unaccustomed to Su Shunxian's ignorance of current affairs, but then she remembered whose slave he was, and eased her face, "This palace heard that the emperor has invited a doctor, and I am very worried about the emperor's dragon body, and I hope that Su Gonggong will make it convenient." ”
"Queen Mother, this is really the emperor's will, the slave is not daring to disobey, and I hope that the mother will be sympathetic to the slave," Su Shunxian resolutely did not retreat.
The queen's face turned cold, "Father-in-law Su, this palace is the queen, it was given to the emperor's wife by the first emperor himself, the emperor is in poor health, and the palace asks to visit and take care of it, you have repeatedly blocked the palace, what is your intention?" ”
Su Shunxian sighed, "Queen Mother, the emperor ......"
"Su Shunxian, let her in," a voice from inside the hall interrupted him.
"The concubines see the emperor."
Zong Zhengjin lay on the couch and didn't call out, "Does the queen ignore my will and don't take me seriously?" ”
The queen maintained a half-squatting posture, although she had expected his voice, but she didn't expect him to do it so directly, "The concubine didn't dare, the concubine just heard that the emperor had invited a doctor, and she was worried about the emperor's dragon body, so she insisted on seeing the emperor, and now that the emperor is fine, the concubine is relieved." ”
"My queen is truly virtuous."
pretended not to understand the sarcasm in his words, "The concubine is just abiding by the responsibilities of the queen, and she is also worried about the husband of the concubine, so there is no case, the concubine has already known her mistake, and asked the emperor to surrender." ”
The queen really showed the queen's bearing at this time, there are advances and retreats, the logic is clear, and the words just reflect that a wife can't even take care of the rules because she is worried about her husband's body.
If he really blames her, then he just doesn't take the hard work of being a wife in his eyes.
"Really? Even so, presumably the queen also wants to set an example, let the people below see how to write the word 'rules', pass on my message, the queen is grounded for a month, and the palace affairs are temporarily managed by Concubine Shu, Concubine Xian and Concubine Shu. ”
Zong Zhengjin said coldly, he didn't need to guess to know what the queen was thinking, but she thought that he was still the same person before, and the emperor hated the most was being threatened.
The queen's face turned pale and pale, in disbelief, "Your Majesty, how can you ......?"
"If the queen doesn't learn the rules well, it's better to go back and learn again while she is grounded," Zong Zhengjin looked at her impatiently and waved her hand.
The queen couldn't, and knew that any more would only anger him even more, "Concubine Thanks." ”
Su Shunxian looked at the queen's back and shook his head, the one inside was the head of the fire, why rush to let him vent, honestly, isn't it enough to be the queen in her duty?
Where is the dragon's whiskers so easy to touch?
Drunken Cloud Dock
"Master, don't stand there and listen to those unbearable voices," Tingyao stood aside, except for her, all the minions were sent to watch the execution.
Su Jingxi hooked the corners of her mouth, and when she looked up, there was a clear blue sky, cloudless, "She died from this concubine, so why not listen to it?" ”
"Master, she did it herself, how can she complain about her master?"
"yes, who told her to want this concubine to die?"
She used Dai Man to know that Su Jingxi's favorite flower was Mu Hibiscus, and even brought back a eunuch to tend to flowers and plants, so she thought of putting "Zhu Yan San" in the pot containing Mu Hibiscus, which did not have much effect on people in the short term, but it was beneficial nourishment for flowers.
Two days ago, Su Jingxi found that someone ordered Su Hexiang, and there was an introduction in it, which was "Hongyanmu", because most of the spices would be added, so I didn't think much about it at the time.
It wasn't until the path brought back by Su Jingxi that he accidentally mentioned to Tingyao that Mu Hibiscus had bloomed too brightly in the past two days, even more so than that in the Imperial Garden.
Hongyanmu is the guide, Zhu Yansan is the main, the combination of the two is a chronic poison, gradually making people drowsy and tired, irregular heartbeat, this season, it is easy to get sleepy, if they don't find it, they won't think about it, even if they find out, the time has not come, the doctor can't see anything.
However, in one day on the 7749th day, the person's face and even the whole body will slowly fester, the stench will not stop, the pus will be exposed, the red face will be dispersed, and the face will no longer be cured.
Su Jingxi will plan the plan, before the attack on the incense reported that there was an abnormality in the rue incense, Su Jingxi suspected that the person was the attack on the incense, so she sent Xiaofuzi to investigate, but in the end, Xiaofuzi and Tingyao had several twists and turns, and the suspect was Dai Qing.
Yesterday, Su Jingxi was in Zichen Palace, and Tingyao, together with Xiaofuzi and others, arrested her, and seized the stolen goods, but she never revealed the mastermind behind her until she died.
Su Jingxi also knew that she couldn't be in a hurry, even if she really confessed, she couldn't really believe it if she didn't plant the blame.
It's just that she didn't expect that someone would dare to put his hand into the Zichen Palace, or that the people below would do an errand, after all, the flowers were cultivated by special people in the Imperial Garden, but the best ones were always sent directly to the Zichen Palace, or did that person think that Zong Zhengjin would know that she loved Mu Hibiscus and reward her?
Is the different poison from the hands of two people, or is it just one person preparing for both?
All of them, I don't know.
In this world, there is no mind reading, no lie detector, even torture, even coercion and temptation, no ability to see through people's hearts, other people's words can never be believed, especially in this palace where "acting" masters are all over the place.
Only you know which is true and which is false, and which is right and which is wrong.
"Bring up the rue incense, as for the little road, enjoy more things, and let him stay there."
…………
The news of the queen's grounding came out, especially the emperor angrily scolded the queen for not knowing the rules, which was enough for the concubines in the harem to digest for a while, and then the queen handed over the phoenix order and the right to manage the harem.
Just as they were frequently watching, hoping that these good fortunes could befall them, the emperor's holy decree was issued, and Concubine Shu temporarily exercised the right to control the harem on behalf of the queen, with Concubine Xian and Concubine Shu assisting from the side.
Chonghua Palace
"Two sisters, look at it, how to distribute these six rounds?" Qiao Jingshu had the highest rank, and the three of them naturally gathered in her palace.
Concubine Xian has always been a member of the queen's faction on the surface, even if she usually doesn't like the queen's behavior, but when she learns the news that the queen has been grounded, it is still unfavorable to her, and she secretly hates the queen for being too brainless, and complains that she is fledgling, and she can't get rid of the queen temporarily.
mixed with her status, with today's experience and experience, she knows that she will either follow the queen wholeheartedly and do things behind her back, or completely withdraw from the queen and tear her face.
"Concubine Xian has an idea, just mention it first, so as not to complain about Concubine Shu's arbitrariness later," Concubine Shu saw that the person opposite was silent and didn't speak, she didn't know what she was thinking, and said directly.
Concubine Shu's grounding of the queen, but she is happy to see it, and she has no less schadenfreude, and it is not even far from enough, the queen attaches the most importance to these chores on weekdays, and she is used to using these things to suppress them.
Concubine Xian also relies on the support of the queen mother on weekdays, and she has squeezed her a lot, but now that she has this opportunity, she will not be Shen Ruyun if she does not fall into the well.
Concubine Xian is actually very unaccustomed to Concubine Shu, she has an empty appearance, a sharp mouth never forgives, she glanced at the two of them lightly, she really didn't believe it, Concubine Shu was really so deferential to Concubine Shu, and the alliance between the two was afraid that there was already a gap.
The father of Concubine Shu is a young master from a grade, and it happens that the father of Concubine Shu is a master of the first grade, his father was pressed by the official level, and he was in the palace, and he was always pressed by Concubine Shu, so it was strange that he had no resentment in his heart.
