Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Cause of Cui Zhaoyi's Death

Yuehua has been extremely depressed for several days, suffering from gains and losses, and only feels that Mo Guhan's mind is unfathomable, just like the sky in June, which is changing rapidly, and she can't figure out his thoughts.

Mama Qin advised her to strike while the iron was hot, and take advantage of the gradual relaxation of the relationship between Mo Guhan and her, and if there was a turnaround, she should take the initiative, and wait for the cold to start over again, but it would not be easy.

On that day of Yuehua, it was like being poured a scoop of cold water head-on, in such a cold weather of nine cold days, cold to the bone marrow, where can you still afford the slightest interest? She was reluctant to cater to Mo Guhan's suspicious ghosts with a hot face, so she only used the excuse that she was unwell, lest she go to the Empress Dowager to talk irresponsible and provoke reprimands.

Mo Guhan was obviously disgusted with himself, but he weaved a web of affection against his will, and wanted to envelop himself overwhelmingly. She struggled to rush left and right, repeatedly telling herself not to fall into his trap. In this way, the heart will not be hurt, even if he is really false to himself, or cold and ruthless, he will become insignificant and can laugh at it.

Lan Cairen Huaien was the first to sensitively notice her depression, and when he came out of Ruian Palace, he accompanied her all the way to talk and returned to Qingqiu Palace.

Yuehua was silent, looking listless and full of worries.

Wynne spoke a little slurred: "Queen Mother, I heard...... I heard that you went to see Jun Shuyuan a few days ago? ”

Yuehua nodded stupidly: "Hmm." ”

"I heard that you also brought a lot of supplements to Jun Shuyuan?"

Yuehua turned her head just now: "Yes, what's wrong?" ”

Wynne hesitated for a moment, and then finally mustered up the courage to say: "There are some unwritten taboos in the palace......

Yuehua stopped in confusion: "What taboo?" Jun Shuyuan is pregnant, just when she needs to replenish her body, isn't it just right to send supplements? ”

Huai En looked left and right at no one around, and then lowered his voice and said to Yuehua: "Niangniang, have you ever heard of Cui Zhaoyi?" ”

When Yuehua saw her expression, she knew that there must be something unspeakable in it, and she also lowered her voice: "I heard Concubine He talk about it, I heard that it was born prematurely at eight months, and one corpse and two lives. ”

Wynne nodded: "It's true that it was born prematurely, but there was a reason for this premature birth, it was plotted by someone and ate the wrong thing." ”

Yuehua couldn't help but frown: "Could it be poisoning?" ”

"I can't say," Huai En's face was solemn: "The imperial doctor in the Tai Hospital said to the outside world that Cui Zhaoyi had eaten too many supplements, and the fetus was born prematurely due to qi consumption and blood fever, and then the maternal blood collapsed. But the emperor was furious and killed all the two stewards in the imperial dining room. Although the emperor's face is a little colder on weekdays, his heart is soft, the rewards and punishments are clear, and he will not easily anger the palace people, let alone kill?

Later, Concubine He, Concubine Ya and other people who sent supplements were all called into the house by the Queen Mother for questioning, saying that the Ganoderma lucidum, longan and many other things they gave were inedible in the late stages of pregnant women.

In the evening, all the remaining supplements in Cui Zhaoyi's palace were taken and burned, especially the things sent by Concubine He, even the needles and threads were not left. We knew that there must be something wrong in the supplement, but we couldn't find the real culprit. The emperor was secretive about this, and the people in Cui Zhaoyi's palace were also tight-lipped about it, and the reason for this was unknown.

Later, I heard rumors from the people in the palace that Concubine He was the most suspicious because of this matter, and she ate melon cheese, and the emperor did not turn over her brand for a whole month, and later became estranged a lot. Therefore, after Jun Shuyuan became pregnant, even if Concubine Ling and her concubines went to visit, no one sent supplements to Jun Shuyuan, and it was boring to ask for themselves. ”

Yuehua only knew the reason after listening to Huai'en's explanation, no wonder Mo Guhan's reaction was so intense, suspicious and suspicious. However, her heart was still sour and astringent, and she couldn't let go of it for a while.

"That is to say, in the end, who did it secretly, and I didn't find out?"

Wynne shook his head: "At that time, the emperor really wanted to investigate this matter thoroughly, but it was suppressed by the Queen Mother, and the big things were turned into small things, and the small things were turned into small things."

You think, most of the concubines in this harem were selected by the queen mother for the emperor and stuffed into the emperor's bed. What she doesn't like the most is that these people are fighting openly and secretly, endlessly. It was also this incident that made the Queen Mother lose a lot of face in front of the Queen Mother.

Originally, she would find various reasons to hold some famous banquets in the palace every year, and select outstanding nobles to enter the palace. Since then, the Queen Mother has stopped a lot and is no longer enthusiastic about it. ”

"Two lives are gone?" Yuehua was a little dumbfounded, she knew that these concubine families in the palace were actually the Queen Mother's people, and the Queen Mother had been using this method to envelop the ministers of the court for Mo Guhan. But after all, it's a human life, and it's related to the royal heir, so is it okay to give up?

Wynne sighed with emotion: "In the red wall of the Forbidden City, what is a human life? Those of us who used to be slaves and maids are not even as good as ants. There are many people who take the blame for their masters and lose their lives. is like the Yao Se in the queen's palace last time, it is clear that someone has taken advantage of the shortcomings of the family and concealed the sins for others. ”

Yuehua's heart became more and more dull, and she walked along the path of the Imperial Garden, a little dazed. Wynne silently followed, and the Xiangshen people were farther away.

"Thank you, Wynne, for speaking to me about this."

Wynne was only worried that the queen's kindness would be used again. Since the matter has reached Huai'en's ears, the palace is afraid that everyone will know about it, in case someone takes advantage of your kindness again, makes a trick out of it, and frames you, then there will be no excuse. ”

Yuehua smiled bitterly, those supplements were abandoned by Mo Gu Han, I am afraid that they would have been discarded a long time ago, and they should also have such an opportunity. The corners of her lips were reluctantly pulled up, and she shrugged her shoulders: "Thank you." ”

The two fell into an unspeakable silence again.

Wynne found two leaves on the top of a tree by the roadside that had not yet fallen, picked them off on tiptoe, put them to his mouth and blew them, whimpering and blowing a tactful tone.

Yuehua turned her head, and Wynne blinked playfully, and the tone suddenly rose again, and the melody was fresh, like the chirping of a lark on the grassland.

"What's this tune called? It's much fresher and more refined than those lingering and sympathetic everyone's works. ”

"It's an unknown folk homesick tune, is it good?"

Yuehua nodded, and Lan Ting put the leaves to his lips and whimpered again. The tune is simple, and Yuehua actually heard a rough and heroic ambition from its melodious and tactful melody.

The two were drunk, and a little eunuch ran over, angry and about to scold, and after seeing that it was Yuehua, he fell to his knees in a hurry.

"What's wrong?"

The little eunuch didn't dare to raise his head: "Back to the queen's mother, it was the emperor who was resting in front, and Xiang's father-in-law heard the sound of blowing, so he didn't disturb the emperor's quietness, so he specially sent a servant to come over to inform him." ”

Yuehua raised her eyes and looked, it turned out that the two of them had unknowingly walked near the Lanling Secluded Realm.

"The emperor is in the stone forest?"

The little eunuch nodded: "Yes, Queen Mother, the emperor came straight here after the morning court." ”

"It seems that the emperor is not in a good mood." Wynn said with a sad face, "Fortunately, it didn't disturb him." ”

Yuehua thought about it, but couldn't help but ask: "Why is the emperor worried?" ”

The little eunuch hesitated, shook his head, and said, "This minion doesn't know either. ”

Yuehua waved his hand to let him retreat: "On behalf of the palace, thank you Rongxiang's father-in-law for reminding him." ”

Huaien tugged at Yuehua's sleeve: "Let's go quickly, I heard that the border pass has been defeated one after another, and the emperor was furious in the imperial study yesterday, and he has not been in a good mood for the past few days." Thirty-six plans are better, or less trouble. ”

Yuehua turned around and glanced at the direction of Lanling Secluded Realm again, and also turned around in recognition: "Your news is well-informed, and I can't hide anything from you inside and out. ”

"The slave maid has nothing to envy, it's just that the slave maid herself is a palace maid, and she used to serve the emperor and deal with the people in the palace back and forth, so if there is any gossip, they don't hide it from me. is like the little eunuch Shicai, he clearly knows the reason why the emperor is angry, but in front of you, because it is a matter of the court, how dare he say it? Always be taboo. That is, slaves and maids, who dare to speak freely in front of you. ”

Yuehua hesitated slightly, and finally couldn't help but ask: "Say like you are suitable, is it possible that the emperor is in a bad mood and will come here?" ”

Wynne threw away the leaves in his hand and sighed lightly: "Yes, every time he is in a bad mood, he will stay in it alone and sullenly, and no one will be allowed to enter." ”

"That's... Do you know why? What's the secret in that? ”

Huai En tilted his head and thought for a long time, before he shook his head suspiciously: "I can't say clearly, anyway, the emperor made a decree as soon as he ascended the throne, and no palace people were allowed to enter there, and there were guards guarding it at first, and it has not been repaired for many years." ”

Yuehua said "oh", and then stopped talking, but couldn't help but turn back frequently.

In a trance, a childish sentence was still in my ears: "Don't worry, my medicine rabbit master is very effective, and I will definitely bless your mother and concubine to get better as soon as possible." ”
